[Sony Smartwatch 3] antic604:
Hi there,

I bought Sony Smartwarch 3 primarily for tracking my jogging while listening to music, because at my new job I can't upload music to the phone or install any apps and I don't have 'private' phone (I've Xperia Z4 Tablet, which is too big to run with).

While the experience of running without phone is great, the standalone Endomondo app usually fails to upload my training to the servers. I've set my Endomondo to use watch's GPS so I just go outside - without the phone - and start tracing the run as soon as GPS finds the fix. After I'm back the watch connects to the tablet, but nothing happens. Out of maybe 6 runs just one uploaded correctly and I have no idea what I'd done differently. Is there a particular order of actions I should follow for this to work? Should I run Endomondo on both the tablet and watch before starting the run, so that they somehow "know" that I expect them to connect afterwards? Are there any other equivalent apps that are more consistent and reliable? I hear good things about Ghostracer but it looks very amateurish :)

Thanks in advance for any tips! :)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] antic604:
I tried Ghostracer yesterday and I'm sticking to that - despite hideous talet UI it at least communicates to the user what's going it, i.e. it tells you it will end the recording and save the data and then actually uploads them to the app on the tablet, from where I can export it to file & import to Endomondo. Quite a roundabout way to get there, but at least it seems bulletproof.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lcompare:
Same thing is happening to me, I am desperate. Don't know what else to do. I have already did a factory reset to the watch and the phone, same thing happens.

I sent an email to endomondo support but they haven't answered yet.

I don't want to use another app, because I've been using endomondo for several years already and I really like it.

Any clues?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] antic604:
Well, there's this site: https://tapiriik.com/ which lets you sync your trainings between various services (e.g. Endomondo, RunTastic, Strava),so what I did I copied my trainings from Endomondo to Strava and connected the Ghostracer app to Strava so it uploads automatically.

Alternatively, if you really don't want to leave Endomondo, you can simply run with Ghostracer and - from the phone/tablet app - export the .gpx or .tpx files and import them to Endomondo (via their web-page, I don't think it's possible via app) which works very good. Also, you can use Ghostracer, have it upload your training automatically to Strava or Runkeeper and then use the website I mentioned above to sync that (automatically, if you're willing to donate few $ to its creator) with Endomondo.

Probably not the answers you were looking for, but hope that helps :)

I don't think Endomondo will care enough for standalone GPS watches to fix this, which is a shame but that how it works.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lcompare:
hey antic604, thank you so much. I have tried tapiriik, it works great!

I have just received a reply from endomondo, at least they accept there is an issue, I am going to ask for an ETA now.

I'll use your solution meanwhile.

Thank you!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] antic604:
I'm happy I could help :)

Also, it turns out Tapiriik has an app in Google Play Store, which should make the process even easier :)

I'm afraid the reply from Endomondo is a template, generic answer to any complaint they get, so I wouldn't keep my hopes up. Would be glad if they fixed it, though :)

Please post in this thread if you get more info from them.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] kosemuckel:
Totally Offtopic, so sorry at first!

But how did you get endomondo installed on SWR50?

Following the guide on endomondo homepage i get stucked on "live manager" which is named different now ...

Any actual tutorial somewhere?

THX!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] antic604:
There's no separate installation happening on the watch itself - you just install the app on your phone / tablet and it should appear on the watch as well (if it's synced with your primary device).
[Sony Smartwatch 3] kosemuckel:
First i could not see it in mini-launcher. Now I fond it in stock and after endomondo download it showed up in mini as well. Thanks!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] antic604:
Great :) I've yet to check that mini-lanucher myself.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rocky861:
I just bought a Galaxy Note 4, apparently brand new, sealed box and everything.

When I first turn it on to start it up I get to the Welcome screen where I select my Language with country.

I click "Start" and straight away it gives me the message "Unfortunately, settings has stopped working" and doesn't let me go any further.

If I try the same thing without a sim card in, I get to the next screen telling me about putting my sim card in now or later, and then when I press Next, it gives me the same error message.

I searched for the error message and there are a few suggestions about turning the phone off and starting it with holding Home, Volume up and the Lock buttons, and changing/resetting some settings, although when I do that it boots into a "Team Win Recovery Project v2.8.5.0" and all the options are in another language that I can't figure out how to change, nor find any help online with that specific version.

I have contacted the place I bought the phone from and am waiting on a response, but I was just hoping for some help in the meantime. Very frustrating.

Thanks for any help possible.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kinsman-UK:
If your Note came with "Team Win Recovery Project" (TWRP) on it, then it is most definitely NOT brand new, sealed box. This is a custom recovery, replacing the stock one that Samsung puts on their phones. This would only by done by someone wishing to 'tinker' with the phone, and as such I would suggest getting a full refund and buying your phone elsewhere.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5chdn:
Hi xda community.

Maybe I'm blind, but I can't find stock recovery images for the LG Google Nexus 5. I run all my devices rooted, with unlocked bootloader, TWRP and Cyanogenmod 13. However, due to security concerns I would like to flash a stock recovery again and lock the bootloader.

However, I can not really find first-hand stock recovery images. Searching yields only unsigned third party downloads like this one. No way I'm going to flash this.

The official Google developer factory images only contain a bootloader image and a radio (?) image and the hammerhead stock ROM zip archive. But what I'm looking for is the recovery image!

Any idea where to get them first hand and singed or at least check-summed? Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5chdn:
Ok for some reasons, the factory image contains all images in the zip, including a recovery zip.

However, flashing that renders recovery unusable - little android with a red sign. I don't really worry (yet), but what would be the cause for that?

Is there any issue to run Cyanogenmod with a stock recovery? Should I prefer the CM recovery instead? Is the CM recovery as secure as the stock recovery?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
The Android logo with a red exclamation is the stock recovery (recovery.img in the factory images) with its basic features.

You should be able to run CM13 with a stock recovery but locking the bootloader seems enough IMO. Actually I keep it unlocked because it could be my last chance to recover my device without loosing all my data.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rooted Droid:
Hi, not sure if you still need this but if you check page 1 of this XDA thread under "Nexus 5 Specials", you can find all of the stock bootloaders, radios, recovery, stock/ custom ROMs and stuff like that.

I've flashed a lot from this guys thread and I know the stuff there is legit and reliable. You're right though, only flash what you trust from a Official source.

You should be able to find what you need on that thread, good luck whatever route you choose. :)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5chdn:
Ah, okay. It shows only the logo, no menu or something. Does that sound correct?

The issue with keeping it unlocked is basicly that anyone can recover my device. I use backup synchronization from within android and when the devices fails, I can simply whipe it and start fresh because I have all data synched to my computer (using syncthing).

Thanks, will look into that one.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
Stock recovery offers basic features: reboot, wipe cache, factory reset...

This is the bootloader.

You have a rooted phone so anyone can install BootUnlocker app to unlock the bootloader without wiping anything.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5chdn:
Yeah, I don't have that, it looks like this issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoJ_vRTRX7g However, the CM recovery works. Edit, after watching the video, I understand it's a non-issue ;)

Mind elaborating how _anyone_ can install an app on my phone? No custom recovery, no debugging enabled, bootloader locked, phone encrypted, pin set up. How to access my phone to install a bootunlocker?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
"Anyone" is excessive for an encypted phone of course :)

Using a long password was enough to hack Android phones having Lollipop; hacking a 4 digits password can get cracked in minutes with a computer; thanks to the software FROST, security researchers extracted photos, web history and contact lists from locked & encrypted Android phones,...

Anyways, Android is not a secure OS and I never trust those security tools. I don't store precious information on my device and I'm safe from day one lol

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (verizon SCH-I545) running android 5.0.1

I have already rooted my device using KingRoot

I have been trying to flash the xposed zip file for several days now and I'm not having any luck. I've tried a few different tools to flash but they all kick me to bootloader but fail to flash the zip. I get the following error when bootloader is verifying the update package:

E:footer is wrong
E:signature verification failed

I've tried putting the zip file on my device and on SD to see if that might help, but still no dice. Does anyone have suggestions or know what I'm doing wrong? I'm using the most recent zip from XDA (xposed-v86-sdk21-arm.zip updated 08-Jul-2016 15:25... I've also tried arter97's package and dkcldark's package as well as Magisk v1)

Someone has to have some sort of suggestions I could try... would flashing a custom rom on do anything or is this related to the KNOX security stuff?
[Xposed General] Nergal di Cuthah:
Are you using twrp? if so, did you turn off zip verification and md5 verification?
[Xposed General] lordofbeond:
i am using twrp manager 9.0 (from the play store) but i didn't see a place/option to disable the verification. is there a different app i should be using or am i overlooking something obvious?

edit: I've also tried CWM and i get the same errors
[Xposed General] Nergal di Cuthah:
Not in manager in actual twrp
[Xposed General] lordofbeond:
I wasn't aware of the install twrp step which answers most of the questions I have about this.

I tried it and softbricked my device. Did a little more research and it looks like the kernel I have won't allow me to install TWRP. I'm trying to use verizion's recovery tool to downgrade/repair the device and I'll see if I can get this device rolled back and TWRP installed.

Thank you for the info, this gives me a launching point at least. I'll check back here if/when I get TWRP installed and I try to disable the validation.

[Xposed General] samsungisover:
Hola. i just did this on vz GS4 i545:

use FlashFire for everything. make sure you have a titanium backup of your apps and data for after you flash new ROM. here are the steps:

1. Flash Fire Zip or OTA stock of1 deodexed ROM from here: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-veri...1-keeproot-t3182544/post62413212#post62413212

it will spend 10 to 15 minutes on the red Verizon splash screen.

2. reload from titanium at this point.

3. install xposed 3.0alpha4.apk from the xposed forum page.

4. flashfire zip or ota Arter97's xposed v65 sdk21 arm arter97 V5 krait.zip

this last step took about 35 minutes to upgrade all 260 plus apps i have.

make sure you have the proper uninstaller loaded too just in case. i put mine on the ext sd card in case i needed to load it from recovery. though that might not work because of the unsigned issue.

[Asus Padfone X and S] zlyng970324:
Same issue as well

Getting the same "System partition has unexpected contents (Status 7 )" any idea whats wrong?
[Asus Padfone X and S] Gizoid1337:
It's most likely because of root, and any changes like installing busybox, or having edited the build.prop . I had to wipe system on my padfone x reinstall lollipop 43 then install the marshmallow ota, then root 2.68 then dd the Xmodem.img I found for USA radio bands and the twrp 3.0.0.0 img to get everything working.

Also I'm not sure if flashing without wiping data partition works the same as well as starting from scratch, but I did do it all in one shot and first without data being wiped and worked fine. But I then wiped everything to see how much space I could recover in app storage. I saved myself about a gigabyte and a half to have a total of 4gb remaining after apps were installed (i have a lot of apps)
[Asus Padfone X and S] zlyng970324:
Thanks ! It worked for me

I reinstalled ver 12.2.2.43 which really is my current version, and then proceed to install MM 13.6.5.30 with success
[Asus Padfone X and S] Justatechie:
Thanks to you I have updated my phone to marshmallow using twrp 3.0.0, which allowed me to re-unlock bootloader, and root my phone.

It can be done, you just need to remove a few lines in the updater-script file.

something with ro.fingerprint (that identifies the recovery, it was originally expecting stock).

Replace it inside the zip. Then transfer update to sd card or internal.

After that wipe system, then reflash .43, right after that flash the mm update.

Will take some time but it should work once everything is verified.

reflash bl unlock and twrp (just a precaution) , then you can leave.

It would say no os but ignore it.

First boot takes around 10-15 mins then presto you finally have it.

Haven't encountered any bugs yet and it freed up a lot of storage space. Makes me wonder why I had to wait for the update to come to me, so glad I'm done with that.

So that concludes the last major update for the padfone s.....
[Asus Padfone X and S] NightbladeSinX:
Can u help me pls? I've tried unroot ,wipe system data and reflash .43 which is my current rom but still got signature verification error. any suggestion to fix this? Thx
[Asus Padfone X and S] dtgo:
which lines exactly ? cause i tried removing mine and im now getting an error in the zip

error 6 or something
[Asus Padfone X and S] Justatechie:
On Notepad++: (not sure about notepad, but you must get rid of ro.build.fingerprint lines and the abort command after)

Delete/Remove lines 7 through 9. If left alone or not deleted fully it will not accept the update because its looking at the recovery image.

It expects 5.0 stock recovery but it sees 6.0 twrp. (since it was built off the source of twrp 3.0.0 which is mainly compatable with 6.0+)

Thats about it.

Thats odd.

You should probably Re-download or transfer the ww file again. Could just be a bad transfer of data.

Make sure you have twrp 3.0.0 and that system protection off. (it pops up on the first screen, but you can find it under twrp settings)
[Asus Padfone X and S] dtgo:
thanks for the reply , i did that and got Error 6 but it just fails right there , no message or anything :confused:
[Asus Padfone X and S] Justatechie:
If it doesn't say anything about identifying the device model or checking system, then something is wrong.

Might be a bad edit or it might have gotten corrupted while transferring back into the zip.

I stick with N++ for the edits, sometimes windows file transfer can be a pain by itself while trying to replace the update script, 7zip might help.
[Asus Padfone X and S] dtgo:
got it working thanks again man you've been a big help
[Asus Padfone X and S] NightbladeSinX:
Thx for reply. i manage to get updated to 6.0.1 but now i lost root. i did mistake not flashing twrp before 1st boot n it replace twrp to stock rec. Is there any root method available yet? I've tried latest kingroot but it was unsuccessful. Any way is there any difference between WW and TW firmware version?
[Asus Padfone X and S] Justatechie:
You could probably flash recovery through fastboot, only if your bootloader is unlocked. If not it wont allow the flash. it would say FAILED cant flash unsigned image, but theres a chance that it might have been flashed, just check to see if changes have applied.

Assuming that you have went to the fastboot portion of your phone you can check its status.

if its not unlocked, then you have to find another way to root to flash your twrp recovery back on your phone.
[Asus Padfone X and S] ngoonee:
Did this, but kept getting errors due to (probably) my use of xposed. Managed to soft brick my phone, and recovered it using http://xdaforums.com/padfone-x/help/guide-restoring-stock-rom-recovery-t3179818

After that, had to edit updater-script to remove all checks.

What tripped me up was just how long the update reboot took. Almost half an hour. I was going to give up but decided to leave it while taking a short nap.

heres the updater script for anyone having issues
[Asus Padfone X and S] Nintynuts:
Please can someone help me?

I'm trying so hard to get this to work but I'm barely getting anywhere. What I've done (thanks to ninekaw9's guide):

- unlock bootloader

- wiped everything (yet there is still stuff in the file explorer, like the su install folder)

- using fastboot boot recovery:

-- use TWRP 2.8.7.0 to transfer files from sdcard to emmc

-- with TWRP 2.7.1.1:

--- installed WW 99.99.99.0 for KK (works)

--- installed WW 12.2.2.27 for LP & stock recovery (works)

--- installed WW 12.2.2.43 for latest LP (works)

- removed every abort line from updater script to get it to stop complaining about fingerprint/unexpected system contents

- installed modified FOTA WW 13.6.5.30 for MM (no OS change)

So after all that, I'm where I started but with no apps.

Before I found out 2.8.7.0 couldn't flash stock ROMs I flashed 12.2.2.43 after a full wipe and ended up with no System UI...

Outcomes from using different recovery to flash MM update:

2.7.1.1 with unmodified: apparently my phone is TW not WW (incorrect)

2.8.7.0 with unmodified: some weird fingerprint with omni-T00N and 5.1.1, even after wipe and stock 12.2.2.43 flash. Couldn't edit or replace the default.prop file, it would just get overwritten each time

stock with unmodified: couldn't even mount my SD card, so tried ADB sideload, got the unexpected system contents message

stock with modified (no sha1): would no longer allow me to ADB sideload (0.00x message)

TWRP (either) with modified (no prop): unexpected system contents

TWRP (either) with modified (no prop/sha1): seems to work, but upon boot to system, nothing appears to have changed.

I desperately want MM so I have a smaller system partition, then I can stop pushing updates to system to save space, and therefore won't need root so I can play Pokemon GO and use Sky Q.

That or I'm going to try Magisk... Has anyone used this on a Padfone?

If anyone can guide me through which files/folders I can delete from my phone to save space, that would be great. I know most folders are mounting points, but there's a lot of .sh files and other folders that I'm not familiar with.

I've asked in another thread where I can get TWRP 3.x for Padfone S, but nobody has replied!

Please can someone help me?
[Asus Padfone X and S] xantanion:
I used twrp 3.0. Worked like a charm what I ended up doing was reflashing the .43 and then the update after replacing the updater script file here is a link to the thread with the 3.0 twrp http://xdaforums.com/padfone-x/general/padfone-xs-to-stock-lollipop-root-t3263664
