[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lewmur:
Don't know if anyone else has noticed but Google Cast has been replace by Google Home. I had updated my daily use stock ROM this past week and when I started to cast my Nascar Raceview app to my 40" monitor Sunday, the Google Cast app was missing. And it wasn't available in Play Store. In a panic, I restored an earlier ROM version and proceeded to watch the race.

Upon a more leisurely investigation this morning, I found that it wasn't really missing but had been replaced by Google Home. Apparently Google has just bundled Google Cast with a bunch of other stuff for controlling Chromecast and other "streaming devices", into one app. It works fine but I just wish Google had at least put a notice in Play Store to use Google Home instead of Google Cast.

Hi DEYBBY,

Please, don't forget that you are on an forum where the main language is English. You can write in Spanish, but you have to write the same thing in English at first. ;)

For the problem with your Moto, try a factory reset. If that don't fix your problem, claim your warranty.

Here is a page that can help you.

I bought my Moto G4 Play in a physical Motorola Store a month ago, and I haven't had problems with it.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goatface17:
I flashed my Xperia SP with from Jellybeam to CM13 rom. I didn't create any backup, wiped clean everything including cache using twrp recovery. While the setup installed CM13 without any error but I downloaded the wrong gapps and the setup didn't accept those. So I chose to reboot the cell and since then it just stopped responding. Although it is showing the green led while plugged in via USB, it won't start in neither fastboot nor recovery mode.

I'm stuck here and have no idea what to do.

I tried installing PC companion, flashtools, SP flashtools, emma, everything. None of these detect my cell. I'm using Windows 10 (64 bit) and am at a dead end.

Any help would be appreciated.

I managed to flash it with errors and now it's stuck in a SONY logo bootloop. Its starts, shows SONY logo for a while and then turns off again. Again it's not getting recognised by any flash tool, sony companion etc.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goatface17:
Yes, still stuck there. Can't flash it because phone boots mid-process and flashing aborts. Please help me out here.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NagyAti:
Hey!

Sad to hear, but maybe (I hope) this method will help you. Basically what you will get is an original Xperia SP with 4.1 android as it came from the factory.

You will need:

1. Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde" version 0.9.18.6. Don't know if newer version came or better. You can find it here in forums. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2489955

2. The basic ROM "12.0.A.2.254".

The method that helped me:

SP turned off. Cable not connected.

Start Sony Mobile Flasher (Flashtool) , give administrator rights.

Top left cornet click on the bolt and choose flashmode, then in firmware selector you can find and select the downloaded ROMs and kernels. Choose the official 4.1 (12.0.A.2.254). Click falsh so it starts to proceed.

Then a windows appears called "wait for flashmode".

Now. Grab your turned off SP press volume down and connect the usb to pc. Keep holding volume down button till flashtool starts to upload the system. (Hopefully it will be fast enough, and phone will not turn on. For me it was)

After flashtool is finished you will see:

09:50:53 - INFO - Flashing finished.

09:50:53 - INFO - Please unplug and start your phone

09:50:53 - INFO - For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings

09:50:54 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode

Unplug and start the SP

If everything went as planned you have your phone back with stock 4.1 and 12.0.A.2.254 kernel.

you can find the firmwares here: https://mega.nz/#F!1xME0bZB!lGvex2Gc3cZFr3NoEFFWww!hgN3GBAC
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goatface17:
Thanks a lot brother. At first it didn't work when I flashed it with the latest version of Flasher. Then I installed the exact version you mentioned (0.9.18.6) and phone didn't boot during the flashing and now it's back to normal with the default 4.1 stock.

Thanks a bunch, you're a life saver for me. :highfive:

[Galaxy Tab S General] bravomail:
So I was running LiquidSmooth 5.1.1 CM-based ROM for a longest time. But the times they are a changin. MM stock came. But with it I don't see that many ROMs - 2 so far. Both of each have issues. Iron has bloated from 1.4 GB stock to 2.3GB, what an achievement. Simpler doesn't like OpenGapps. It seems everybody is happy with stock MM.

I'm not. I miserably failed to get rid of Knox, or whatever new AKMS name Gnusmas came up with. That Knox bastard shows its notification every time I setup WiFi. Knox thinks that restarting and reverting the change (WiFi ?) is par for course. Primary cause is TWRP recovery (non standard). So I cannot have root, cannot have TWRP, cannot get rid of bloat, battery life and smoothness suffering, cannot use root apps like TiBu.

I ended up using Schischu's MM, which gave me zero issues, worked with OpenGapps with half-kick, and I have Screen-on-time around 8 hours, which is astonishing.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Akopps:
Just install the stock ROM. Works fine for me. The TWRP and SuperSU install is pretty standard. I have no idea what you're whining about. Maybe you should no use "non-standard"?
[Galaxy Tab S General] bravomail:

tried stock - wifi would reset after reboot due to Knox. :confused:

Hi!

Well after searching I found an application that can improve your battery from draining, reply me if it works for you guys

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cpuhibernation
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The CPU (like any modern computer CPU) frequency already scales up and down as needed. "Locking" it a lower frequency when screen is off, may not be a good thing, and I fail to see how much difference it will make to battery life (and certainly not "huge"). Remember, your phone is doing a lot of things, even when screen off (receiving SMS messages, email, and lots of other stuff) and this app may interfere with such processes (or at least slow them down).

Apps designed to "save" battery often cause more problems than they solve. But that is just a general opinion, not specific to this particular app.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Alberto97:
Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Unlocked bootloader is required.

​

README:

Our device comes with forced encryption and, more important,
verity which checks at every boot if /system partition has been changed or not.
If /system has been changed, verity won't allow booting your device which means
you can't flash anything unless you disable verity.

Installation

To temporarily boot this recovery:

fastboot boot twrp.img

To permanently flash it:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Disable Verity

Oreo

Flash this kernel (only compatible with latest oreo build, OPNS27.76-12-22-9) through fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot-noverity.img) or TWRP (Install -> Install image -> Select Boot -> Swipe to install)

Verity is now disabled, you can flash Magisk or anything else

Marshmallow/Nougat

If you aren't going to root your device, you can use my patcher (that disables forced encryption as well) else Magisk/SuperSU will do this for you.

In order to definitely get rid of encryption, if you wish to, you'll have to erase userdata with fastboot

Yeah, I tried this one, seems to work just fine until you try and flash SuperSU with it. For the official releases it fails to extract ramdisk and the system-mode ones it doesn't patch dm-verity. I ended up using the Chinese one to get a rooted addison.

I just saw your console output text file. Maybe try using the USB ports on the back of you computer (the ones directly connected to the motherboard). Also you may try downloading the stock images again or you can check the hash from your zip file containing the images and see if it matches from the hosting site you got it from.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ErwinP:
Hi all,

After taking a nandroid backup, I have some difficulties to access the folder with the backups.

According to solid explorer, the TWRP folder is empty

with adb as root user going into "/sdcard/TWRP/" results in "Permission denied"

with adb as root user going into "/storage/self/primary/TWRP" results in "Permission denied"

with adb and as root I can see the backup in "/data/media/0/TWRP/", but due to the fact that "adb root" doesn't seem to work (only su root works), I can't pull it to my computer.

when booted in recovery, I can access the files and copy them to my computer with MTP - as it should.

So it seems that there are some permissions not correctly set, is that possible?

I'm on

Stock 7.0

f2fs-fixed kernel v03

TWRP 3.1.0-0 permanently flashed

Systemless root with Magisk

Secondly, and off-topic:

can somebody give an explanation why there are so many ways to go to the sdcard? I know it's like that since already a couple of versions of android, but I can't see the reasoning behind it - and it confuses me.

Thank you in advance,

Erwin
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] prins29:
Boot into TWRP .. connect phone with computer run

ADB device (to check available device)

ADB pull /sdcard/TWRP

It will pull whole twrp folder from phone to PC.

Normally TWRP create .twrps file in folder and set custom permission which prevent other source to denied access for it
