Working great now! Thank
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] markus1540:
You suggested to move discussion about bricked phones due to WhiteNeos faulty TWRP image here in Q&A.

So it seems that I ran into this issue described here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68100827&postcount=288

This should also explain why I am now unable to flash WhiteNeos Unofficial CM 12.1 builds (getting a missing crypto-footer issue) or a stock system image with Flashtool (just displays a FAILED message without further information even in debug log mode).

I was still able to flash all other .sin files in flashmode besides the failing system one though (amss_fsg, amss_fs_1, amss_fs_2, boot, cache, cust-reset.ta, fotakernel, kernel, partition and userdata).

Afterwards I rebooted into fastboot and flashed your TWRP 3.0.2 build as boot and it actually booted to it, however TWRP-3.0.2 was unable to mount most of the partitons, it succeded in flashing CM 13 after some playing around though.

It seems that some partitions or contents are still missing though as I am still unable to flash any other ROM besides your CM 13 version with the unified data partition.

My system is currently booting into CM 13 with the unified data partition but it's pretty useless for me as I'm getting constant black screen of deaths once the screen turns off for a few seconds.

Any suggestions, logs you want or maybe raw partition dumps I could try to flash?

I got a Xperia TX running Stock 4.3 (9.2.A.1.215) to install CM13 Only I need flash twrp-3.0.2-20160814-boot-hayabusa.img via flashtool or cmd and then the CM13.zip and OpenGapps? I've already unlocked the bootloader. I was using Windows Phone/Mobile for a year, So I'm quite lost.:confused:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AdrianDC:
Yes, easiest way is to just flash the latest twrp img as boot (fastboot flash boot twrpimgfile),

then from there flash CM13, follow the instructions for the unification,

and finally flash CM13 and GApps, you're all set.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] valeri.nikolov:
When I flashed CM13 and CM14 I also had constant black screens and phone shut down randomly.

And because I wanted to prove to myself that these are not hardware faults I reverted to stock rom.

I flashed FTF image with Flashtool. I had to use older flashtool version as the latest couldn't finish the process and broke with errors.

Flashtool 0.9.18.6 did the job for me

Stock firmwares - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2648320

Initially it worked flawlessly but then, around 50% battery level, to my dissapointment random black screens of death happened again.

So it is either hardware fault, or something get messed while flashing the different ROM builds.

Hi there,

seems to me but 19 sept. update cm13 nightlies tree is not installing, crashing right after the recovery reports update started.

Anybody else? :)

Late edit.

Just realised somehow twrp was gone... reflashed it in fastboot mode, now everything is cool.

Thanks Adrian :)

It seems, that even the annoying behavior of the touchscreen in recovery will be fixed with the next nightly :D

[MENTION=2233641]Adrian DC[/MENTION]

You're really outstanding :good::good::good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] markus1540:
Thanks for your suggestions, managed to flash the latest stock ROM with Flashtool 0.9.18.6 again.

I continued experimenting a bit with the phone, on the stock ROM the functionality seems to be fully restored, CM12 builds worked without random reboots and black screens of death too.

However upon reflashing CM13, CM14 the described issues appeared again, so there's definitely something wrong with Adrians sources.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] valeri.nikolov:
So my random shut-downs started when I flashed CM13. I found that when on USB or charging shut-downs did not occur or occurred rarely.

I thought it may be the SIM card and tried using the phone without a SIM. No luck.

Then I thought it was the CM13 and get back to stock ROM. Initially it worked but only with full battery or with USB or charging

Then I decided to changed the battery and did it. No more shut downs now . It am running stock ROM with no issues whatsoever.

I am stil trying to make up my mind if stock ROM is ok for me (with well working audio) or if I want to be adventurous again :)

So in my case it was the battery. It may be something happened (burned the battery) during flashing but never the less battery was 3.5 year old.

But if you say it works just fine with CM12 then there is more to it and I am curious what it is.

Partition Unification

Hi [MENTION=2233641]Adrian DC[/MENTION]

I get Error 7 each time during the installation even when I've flash the "resize_userdata.zip". As far as I know unifying partition would need an empty SDcard, as such I have but 2 questions:

1. Does SDcard refers to internalSD or externalSD?

2. Do I have to empty the SDcard manually before flashing this CM13.0

I apologize if this question is repeated. I hope you can resolve my uncertainties. Thanks in advanced.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lukczas:
Hi. I'm strugling to get full memory after flashing cm13 or cm14. I tried to follow the instructions. I did flash also resize_userdata and nothing hapend. I see only 2gb. I have try to resize the partition under twrp but it doesn't work. Anyone found the way how to fix this?

Hi,

I'm new to the forum so I apologize if I'll do something irregular.

I'm blocked on the step of adb sideload.

I followed the steps suggested in the userdata partition unification section:

- re-flash the previous version of OS(a version of German telecom)

- try to install one more time cm-13.0-20161221-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO3Y3-mint.zip (hoping that the re-install can

Unfortunately the problem remains: You must unify userdata partition.

Can someone help me?

Thank you

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Resolved: I found a unify_userdata folder(with a zip inside) within the cm 13 rom zip. with adb sideload I first flashed the zip inside unify_userdata folder,then reboot,then flash cm zip.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mercuryraven:
Might not be the best place to post but if anyone knows about all the spen in the world it might be you guys.

The question is which spen has the plastic tip?

Long story version is:

I like to draw digitally, hence I got a samsung galaxy note and later switched to a lenovo yoga 12.2 inch for drawing.

I used to use my original samsung galaxy note 10.1 spen for my lenovo yoga laptop because their stylus just sucked. After that one got lost, I have decided to buy a galaxy note 4's stylus to use with my lenovo yoga, the accuracy was good but a bit draggy.

And that one got lost..(i know)

So I took a chance and bought a fujiutsi lifebook stylus, which was smooth...but the accuracy was off, the cursor followed underneath the stylus and I just couldnt calibrate the thing to work.

So I went back to buying a galaxy note 4 spen which i got for a bit cheaper. the accuracy was great, the pressure senestivity was harder but I managed to fix it. It was then I noticed that the thing was draggy because it had a rubber tip.

...I fiddled with the rubber tip...and It came off...I cant superglue it back..I also noticed without the rubber tip the accuracy is a bit off.

So before I go and buy the same thing..I was wondering if I should buy an spen with plastic tip. I looked around the XDA threads and it seems that samsung provides different tips for their galaxy note 3 users(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2478825). I don't think I should buy the tips separately not knowing which one is plastic or rubbery. I think I can get the spen 2(with the thought that spen 2 has a plastic nib) in the same price as the set of spen 3 nibs. But I am not sure if they are gonna have the same accuracy without that rubber tip...or if spen 2 does have a plastic nib.

Or maybe I should just buy a bamboo feel (though that needs battery)

So..help?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sushant1thakran:
Spen which comes with note 3 and note 4 comes with various replaceable tips and it has plastic tips too.

Cant say about note 5 as i dont own it.

But spen with note 3 and note 4 having plastic tip is confirmed.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] DarkGuyver:
I'm surprised that the S-Pen actually works on a non Note device! :eek: As from what I have heard Samsung's S-Pen uses electromagnetic technology to interact with the screen on Note devices.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sushant1thakran:
Yeah and the technology is implemented on the screens rather than on spen.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] DarkGuyver:
Exactly! I've watched a teardown video of the S-Pen, which also explains how the S-Pen functions on the screen. Which uses a electromagnetic grid underneath or in the screen to pinpoint the position of the S-Pen when it's in use. This technology is different from the technology used in traditional capacitive touchscreens.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mercuryraven:
Thanks, I uhmmm...I already sort of ordered the note 2's spen >_>" It hasnt arrived yet so..

From where I have ordered they only seem to give me one spen with no extra tips, and the one I got had that stupid rubber tip, which was really draggy...which is why I got myself a nexus instead of a the latest galaxy note..plus that galaxy note was pricey...And I already have a galaxy note 10.1.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sushant1thakran:
Samsung started to give interchangeable tips from note 3 only.

So in order to save ur own time and money, cancel the order and buy note 3 or or later device's spen.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Flapjack:
I installed the 2.23ROW Eng on my Treo 750 yesterday. I shut down the computer at the point where the installer says to make sure you complete the list of tasks before hitting continue. I figured it was just an unnecessary step, as WM6 was on the phone. I know now that another part of the phone does not get updated unless this happens.

Now, I'm stuck without a way to finish the flash. ActiveSync won't connect, so I can't reflash it. The only thing I can think of is to do the SD card method, but I don't have an SD reader on me, and I can't freaking get ActiveSync to connect so I can't copy it over that way!!

Can someone help me out? Oh, and I already disabled the "Enable advanced network functionality". That didn't help. The phone works fine and all, but I cannot customize it with cabs at this point.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] edmc:
R U sure you can't connect at all - or is it just not finding your user?

When I upgraded my 750 (using the SDCard method), somehow it created a new/different user for me on the phone.

My "workaround" was to get the phone and my ActiveSync to both use the same user.

More details please...
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Flapjack:
No, it absolutely would not connect. I ended up just using the flash card method to get it fixed. Then, I was able to reconnect and get the full 2.23ROW installed. Everything seems to be working just fine now.

I do have a question, though. The phone is quite different than it was as an AT&T phone. For one, the power button does not make it sleep. In fact, I can find no quick way to get the screen to turn dark. If I put it down for a minute, it'll shut off. Any suggestions?

Also, what would you recommend for this phone? I used it for a while until I got my Tilt, but I pretty much left it stock. I've done just about everything there is to do to the Tilt, but so far I've only installed the HTC Home plugin for the Treo.

What are some other good upgrades?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] vn1977:
Is there still a "Dial Lookup" option in the Today settings? That has to be checked for the power button to work correctly. The HTC Home plugin did that to mine as well... and it's fairly well known.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] manfly9884:
Hi. Would you mind telling me what your Software Version says. I upgraded using the SD Method, and My Version still reads 1.13-ATT.

Thanks
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Flapjack:
That worked, but it looks horrible. The HTC plug in leaves room for one item below it, and that "Dial lookup" thing takes two, so there is a crappy little scroll thing there.

The SD method does not load the entire update. I had to the exe method with the payloads.xml file, then follow through where it applies the Palm tweaks to get it to work right.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Flapjack:
I think I figured it out... is that the "hidelogo" cab I've seen floating around? I'll try that now.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Flapjack:
Geez, it works... but now the phone is stuck in a rebooting loop. It's only up and running for a few seconds, then it soft resets.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] manfly9884:
Can you please tell exactly how you did the EXE method with the payloads.xml file.

Thanks in advance

Never mind.

Thanks.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] vn1977:
Sorry. If I was around before I would have told you about that hidelogo thing. I think you may have to reflash your phone again to get around the rebooting. Search around the forums.

When I ran into the same thing, I removed the HTC Menu thing and went for SPB Menu instead, even though I lose the nice clock.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] Flapjack:
Crap. Now it's doing it again.... this time, on two different computers. The AS icon turns green, says connecting, sits like that for a minute, then returns an error asking if I wanna run the ActiveSync troubleshooter...
[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Hi, I was trying to root Samsung S3 mini (GT-I8190) and install a rom with higher android version than the official because the official one is getting incompatible with apps and so on.

I rooted it and while I was going to install TWRP recovery, I got the error that said to me that bootloader was locked, so I tryed to unlock it using EZ unlock. When I unlocked it, it runs out of power and accidentally turned off.

The problem is that now it doesn't turn on (doesn't boot), doesn't show any signal of life and of course, is not detected by my computer, so it's bricked now. Also, it doesn't show any sign of life while trying to charge an all.

What can I do?

How can I turn on my phone again?

Thanks

PS: It's out of warranty, of course, so technical support by Samsung it's not a viable option to me.

Hello, I bricked my phone trying to update it, now I have factory reset it and loaded another firmware over it.

It now starts up again and I did all the setting that you get at the start.

Somehow it doesn't recognize my sim card even though I didn't touch it when doing all this.

It also doesn't load the play store.

Any idea what could cause this and how to fix this?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] darkwolf26:
the same playstore error occurred with my brother's device when he forced uninstalled the play store and tried to install manually, I think the problem in your case is incompatible software. Try to find the stock rom for your device and flash it. It might fix your problem :svetius:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] HackerAce:
Apps like play store really ate determined by the phone's SDK version and if any system upgrade ships an stock app of a different Version of phone or phone changes any command relating to phone's increment version, apps will cause a library mismatch hence running of apps with lib support fails. Just download the play store from another source and rename it with a single name, and if you have root, use a root explorer and place it in "/system/vendor/operator/app" and set permissions to "rw-r-r" then reboot your phone wait until it's fully boot up. Then go to "/data/app-lib/'the_name_you_named_the_app'/" you will see an unknown file "named_something.so". Copy the .so file to "/system/lib/" and set permissions too to "rw-r-r" and then finally go to "/system/vendor/operator/app/" and move the app you placed there initially to "/system/app/" and boot up your phone and things will get done for you. In each system app that fail to work in a ROM upgrade. Just do so and all will be well

Hey guys. Need some help remembering how to do this stuff and what info i need to get some real help sorting out my misses phone.

Ive not done this for a very long time...since i re did my old HTC HD2.

So...the misses has had her HTC One M8 for over a year now. Bought off Ebay and all is good. An update needed to be done about 6 months ago but the wife said it failed all the time. I had a look and found it had a TWRP boot loader on and a custom ROM installed (i guess). The phone will not even connect to sync manager (my original M8 will) but is seen by Windows and can view the internal storage and SD storage.

So, want to revert it back to a stock M8 image but am confused about what i need to get to make this happen.

I know my M8 is on version 6.12.401.4 and have downloaded a recovery image with that number. Also, the TWRP version on the misses phone is v2.8.6.1.

Please can someone with a lot more brain power help me to revert her phone back to stock and save me from a moaning wife (and not moaning in the good way :))

Hi ckpv5 and thx for the reply

Well i have no idea whats going on with this phone or what the misses has been playing around with.

So after i come home from work to day..she shoved the phone in my hand and said "its broke...go fix it". So had a look........and now it stops on the HTC screen and will go no further. When i connect it to the PC...i can see the internal storage and the SD card. There seems to be not much on the internal storage....so not sure if she has deleted the actual OS on the phone and thats why it will not boot through. There is 10.5GB free of 10.6GB

Im sorry for being really dumb but i cant seem to get the info from the fastboot getvar all results. Not sure if its me or the phone but tried what was posted and got nothing :/

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
10.6 GB internal storage is just the user accessible part. This means its the 16 GB version, and the balance (5.4 GB) is reserved for the OS (and that partition is not viewable in Windows).

It doesn't prove whether the OS has been deleted or not (it still may be - but doesn't prove so).

Are you in bootloader, and have fastboot mode selected (FASTBOOT highlighted in red near the top of screen)?

Is so, try another cable, or another USB port on the PC. Does the command work on your phone?

The radio number corresponds to Lollipop (version number 5.xx). The stock nandroid you mention in the first post 6.12.401 is Marshmallow, and therefore won't work.

I'm confused, the top post say TWRP 2.8.6.1 is installed?

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ----------

Be careful, I think you have your terminology mixed up here.

A recovery image is

not

a ROM or OS. Recovery image refers to a custom recovery (like TWRP) or stock recovery (stock analogue of TWRP), which is only the tiny stock/official application which installs OS updates, etc.

A TWRP backup or stock ROM (OS) is typically around 1.5 GB (for Sense ROMs). Stock recovery image is around 10 MB.

In any case, as already mentioned, the version number 6.12.401 (even if you are referring to stock TWRP backup) won't work on your wife's phone (mismatch the current LP firmware).
