[Q] Deleted OS, Odin Fails, Computer won't recognize phone topic

I have spent days searching for solutions and everything I have tried failed.

I thought I did a factory restore but somehow deleted the entire operating system. I tried flashing an official ROM via Odin but it failed (I know it previously worked), and my PC won't recognize the phone. I do have a custom recovery, TWRP, but the backup was on a different custom recovery and I somehow got the phone to start into the ClockworkMod (?). Any ideas? I have researched extensively and have found nothing. Kies won't even recognize my phone.

I also cannot get the phone's drivers to install on my computer, and I have reinstalled them multiple times.

Can anyone help me? I feel like I've wasted 0 on a phone that is now useless (I did buy it refurbished but also bought a third-party warranty, and accessories so it added up fast.)

CM11: Network Location Fails topic

Phone: Sony Xperia V
CM11 Nightly (Any)

So, I got a lot of apps in need of network location, weatherapps, trainapps, profiles and so on.
2 days ago this stopped working for no reason.
The small Icon that indicates that an app tries to get location does not appear anymore on some apps, in other it does appear but no location info, not via cell network or wifi.

So I did this:
Did a backup, wiped cache, no luck.
Wiped/factory reset, restored backup, no luck.

Backup with Titanium Backup, wiped cache, dalvik cache and factory reset.
Did NOT restore, but set all settings and downloaded one app to check, still nothing!
I flashed latest Gapps 201401 something.

Why is it so hard to get this working properly on CM?
Not the first time this has happened, 3-4 times now.

Any ideas?

[Q] ADB sideload fails? topic

I recently rooted and installed Cyanogenmod 11(nightly) on my ls970. CM11 was a little glitchy so I decided to downgrade to CM 10.2... but my dumb*ss forgot to wipe CM 11 before I installed 10.2. needless to say it didn't work. I then did a full wipe(the backup I created didn't work) with TWRP and then tried to sideload Cyangogenmod 10.2.. the sideload fails.. so I thought it was an issue with the ROM..So I got the stock ROM from Google and tried to sideload that. The sideload always starts (on both ROMs) but always ends up failing in the end.. Any help would be appreciated.

I also tried to install stock rom via lgnpst but it does not recognize the phone. And all drivers are installed

[Q] TWRP backup fails on XT1031 topic

Have TWRP installed on XT1031, but backup indicates "Failed" at end of process. I have tried v2.6.3.1 and v2.6.3.3, all with the same results.

CWM recovery works, but I prefer TWRP.

Any ideas?

TWRP 2.7 fails on /data backup topic

I just flashed TWRP v2.7 on my One. Tried making a backup but it keeps failing while backing up the data partition. It doesn't give any sort of error code or indication why. It just stops and says "Backup Failed". I flashed back to v2.6.3.4 and the backup completes fine. I noticed that w/ v2.6.3.4 it breaks up each partition into multiple files. It doesn't appear that v2.7 does that. Not sure if that would matter. Also, I'm still running stock 4.3. Does v2.7 only work with KitKat ROMs? I know v2.7 just released & there could be some bugs, but wondered if anyone else is experiencing this. Here's my getvar all just in case.

[Q] Beta 6 Fails when installing with TWRP. topic

Basically what the topic says, every time I try installing Beta 6 using TWRP, it'll tell me there's no MD5, a warning that there's no "file_context" (if I remember correctly), and then a red "failed" message after 30-50 seconds. Then I'd have to use my backup file I created before flashing the ROM just to reboot the phone.

And just in case someone asks for what phone/ROM I'm using:

Galaxy Nexus (Toro)
Paranoid Android 3.99

Any idea why this is happening?

[Q] RockMyMoto: CydiaImpactor fails + screenshot topic

So, I'm having Droid MAXX ver. 12.15.15 and can't get root through Cydia Impactor.
USB Debugging is enabled, there is no screen lock, but every time time I try to start telnet daemon through Impactor

# start telnetd as system on port 2222

There is an error in attachment


Regular usb debugging through eclipse works fine.

Has anyone solved this problem?

[Q] Mounting NTFS partition fails. topic

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (n900a).

I was able to attach external hard drives formated with ntfs filesystem to my previous phone the At&t Note 2 (SGH-i317) without difficulty. Using an OTG cable after installing Paragon ntfs & hps+. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....mounter&hl=en

I have just recently upgraded to the n900a and I have discovered that while Paragon ntfs/hps+ driver can see ntfs drives, it cannot mount them. So I installed another application called Roehsoft's Partition toolkit https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...t.ptk.sd&hl=en which also has the ability to see ntfs/hps filesystems.

Roehsoft's partition toolkit immediately sees the drive but when I attempt to mount it gives me the following error message.

ERROR; ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Permission denied

Is this caused by Knox or SELinux kernel enforcing?

I suspect it's the later because search results seem to point to Linux issues.

Can anyone help?

Kitkat system update fails topic

I'm on a rooted Nexus 7 2013 wifi only with twrp recovery installed. I'm currently running stock android 4.3 and wish to update to 4.4.2. I had originally held off updating but now want to do so. Here's what happened.

1. I first went to Settings /about phone /System update and tried to update. That failed repeatedly even though I have unmodified stock rom. (now even download fails though earlier it has downloaded successfully and the file is somewhere on the tablet).

2. So I next went to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2380113

And downloaded the ota update zip file (JSS15R to kot49h). Then went to my Twrp 2.6.3.0 recovery screen and tried flashing the zip file from there. It failed. I didn't wipe anything first because I didn't want to lose my data.

So I'm stuck. Can I update without losing my data?

Thanks

Jeff
