[Q] Trying to recover formatted files in HTC ONE topic

I accidentally formatted the phone after unlocking the bootloader, files in it were all gone:crying: I tried a android data recovering software called Dr.fone, however it only recovered some useless data like app icons, whatsapp profile pics, facebook profile pics ect. Does this mean that all my photos taken were being overwritten and is gone forever?? Is there still a chance of getting them back? Please help.... thx

[Q] Don't know what went wrong trying to flash a new ROM... topic

This is definitely a first for me...

I was trying to flash the latest version of Malladus from stock OTA. I have a Verizon G2, and here's what I did and what went wrong.

Rooted the device - root checker confirmed successful.
Downloaded Freegee, activated latest CWM.
Went in to the actual CWM app, attempted to flash new ROM. I did select the wipe data option.
Selected Malladus. Installation failed.


Tried to recover and revert to backup...instead I ended up in some sort of pseudo OS that is definitely not Malladus (not the full version anyways), but isn't stock OTA either. Certain things don't work (like the home button, and I can't connect to my PC via USB). Most of the LG icons, appearances, app tray, etc look like stock LG...but when it boots up, it gives me a Google splash screen instead of Verizon.

I'm still relatively new at this. I have successfully been able to flash both CM11 and AOKP on to this phone with no issue...but I either missed a step or am not accounting for something here. Now I'm worried that I won't even be able to revert back to stock OTA because I don't have USB connection capability. I've tried fiddling with the CWM menu options, but nothing really helps...

Strings are immutable so you'll need string methods to manipulate your
data see

[Q] Trying to install KK OTA - stock, rooted topic

Moved this question from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=51198721

I'm currently stock, rooted, S-OFF, and TWRP recovery. I'm flashed to 3.06.651.6 firmware.
I still get the OTA notifications, and my goal is to install the latest OTA update (without RUU) so that I can preserve data. I've created a TWRP backup, but that's the extent of it.

Any help is appreciated.

Other background - I reverted back to 3.06.651.6 after flashing firmware 4.06.xxx because I could not boot normally after that or did not know how.
My bootloader says Tampered, relocked

Noob question... trying to root! topic

Ok.. I have a T-Mobile Note 3 now… and I am trying to root it… expected it to be easy, after dealing with my AT&T note 3 with its lockedboot loader!!!!

...not so much…

SO… two problems so far:

The instructions I am finding tell me to “turn off ‘Reactivation lock’ feature is turned off under Security Settings.

….and I can not find that setting !! :(

Second problem:

The problem I am having is that one of the first things I need to do is figure out my “AP Version”, and the instructions I am finding to do so is to dial *#1234# on my phone.

Unfortunately, what I get when I do that is: First it says “USSD CODE RUNNING” and then it says “unable to process request”

Is there any other way to get this information?

Thank you for any help!!

Trying to find an older stock sense rom based on 4.1.1 or older topic

So I got a good deal on a galaxy s3 and now I'm getting ready to give the one s to a 50 something year old man who isn't great with technology. He's been using an HTC desire on stock 2.2 for over 3 years now and it's been almost rock solid dependable for him.

I don't want his new phone glitching out on him cause he won't really understand. I spent a few hours today after downgrading to 2.15 hboot and tried 4 different roms and had each one glitch out on me in some way within an hour of use except official cm11 but I only spent maybe 40 minutes with it before making a backup and trying the 3 other roms all 4.4.2 roms.

I'm starting to think I probably can't depend on any of them except an official 4.1.1 or older rom to be reliable enough but now I can't find any working download links for the older roms.

Anyone think they can help? I would give him this one cause it's still stock and keep the one s myself but he doesn't like anything this big and I personally like the s3 size.

[Q] Status 7 trying to install new ROM CM11 (KitKat) topic

Hello all,

Please can someone help me??

I have a HTC One X, I have unlocked my phone on HTCDev, it is showing as rooted (not broken lol) and i can add superuser on there.

I have CWM installed v.5.8.4.0 however, when looking in the ROM Manager, trying to update it is shows me 6.0.4.7 under recovery setup. but when i boot into recovery it still shows me 5.8.4.0??

I have been trying to install the Beanstalk-4.4.240-20140206-endeavouru.zip...

I keep getting stuck in the installation with the message status 7 and then installation stops..

I have cleared all the files and cache that is required prior and still fails. I have tried removing the assert / getpro lines and I still get status 7 during installation.

I have tried a few different ROMs all telling me they are for HTC One X (so i am guessing these just are the right ROMs)

The only think i can see i have is that i have S-On, but i cannot seem to find anywhere to turn this off.. Is this the only reason it is not working????

I have tried another recovery images as well and still no luck?? (unless i did that wrong)

Please can someone help me, I would really like to put a Kitkat ROM on my phone as HTC are not going to get this done..

[Q] Trying to set lockscreen topic

Hey everyone.

I'm running InFamous S3 v.6.0 on my phone with Nova Launcher 2.3beta.

I'm trying to change my lockscreen wallpaper but everywhere I go, it won't let me. I go through Settings/Display/Wallpaper/Lockscreen but it only lets me choose from the default wallpapers.

When I go into my Gallery to the image I want to use, press Menu, and click Set as, it only lets me change my desktop wallpaper with no option for lockscreen.

Can anyone help?

[Q] No service after trying LTE topic

Hi

I was playing around with my phone and tried the old hack through the settings screen, *#*#4636#*#*.
Switched it to LTE and set up a new APN for Rogers LTE.
It Didn't work. After more reading I discovered this wouldn't work for me anyway. I have Android 4.4.2 and I don't thing my SIM is LTE enabled.
I rebooted thinking it would just go back to the original settings.
It seems to have gone back but now I have No signal at all.

I am with Rogers. I tried going back to the original APN settings and selecting Rogers.
The phone is finding the correct networks for my area.
I tried the Reset to default in the APN settings. This sets the APNs to Rogers LTE and chatr, not the original Rogers APN that I started with.

The phone is rooted but running stock Android 4.4.2.
The baseband seems correct.

What have I done and how do I fix it?
Have I done something to the Rogers SIM?

Thanks

[Q] Trying to root Motorola XT910, noob questions topic

Hello folks,

I am a noob in playing around with Android, although I am a long time lurker here, never dared to post anything, just because I don't know even basics.

That said, my XT910 was driving me nuts and many a times I considered throwing it in trash, but having paid ~0 hard cash, I did not. Lately, it crawled, rebooted randomly, hanging all of a sudden in the middle of the call was pretty commonplace. Factory reset did not help. The wi-fi connectivity issue has been there since day one. Where my another HTC One X connects like breeze and downloads whatever needed, XT910 still looks for any wi-fi connections.

I decided to root, hoping to tweak the device so that I can use it for at least another year or so. I followed the thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2257137 Very good thread, pretty easy to understand. I did encounter few issues and thats where this post comes in.

While this post shows screenshots for remote storage, I never got this option, but I added it in. I never got an option to enter the details of the location i.e. image 4 and 5 of the post. Still everything seemed to work as expected.

Majority of the on-screen prompts went as expected, they were not same. Considering this post, image 2, there is a good difference in what I saw and what the screenshot mentioned. My screenshot attached below.



So the questions I have, whats in the red boxes.
The first big red box is not in the original screenshot, but I got it.
The last line of USB disconnect, I never got, neither my phone vibrated in the whole process as mentioned in big red box.
Since I am noob, I can not decipher this, and with posts less than 10, I can not post in that thread. I will be really thankful if someone expert can flash some light on this.

Is my phone really rooted now?
(P.S. - Don't ask me for phone screenshots, they never work on my phone, with power and volume down button pressed together.)

Thanks a lot in advance.

[Q] Trying to get into download mode, but it goes straight to fastboot topic

Hey all,
I recently got into a bit of strife with my G2 but eventually fixed that, and now Im trying to flash the stock firmware back on so I can go back to square one, but every time I try to get into download mode (power off, hold volume up, plug in usb) the small download mode box shows for less than a second, and it switches over to fastboot mode. Does anyone know how I can get it to stay in download mode?

T-Mo S3, was 4.3, reset to 4.1.2. Trying to root for the first time. topic

Stock T-Mobile S3 started getting slow, so I decided to rebuild. I reset the device, and attempted to root it for the first time and install Archidroid 1.x. Odin 3.09 loaded CWM Recovery and PhilZ (or at least claimed to), but the system booted into the standard Android manager, and it won't install from the media, claiming the file fails verification.

I'm pretty sure the phone was upgraded OTA to 4.3 before I wiped it, but now claims to be 4.1.2. Does this mean that I'm suffering the effects of Knox, or is there something very basic that I'm missing?

Thanks for any replies; this isn't my first rooted phone, but I'm no pro.

[Q] CWM crashes when trying to format /data topic

Hi,

this is my first post and I'm very sorry if it's a repeat, but I've searched all over and cannot seem to find anyone with my issue (which I find very hard to believe).

I'm trying to install a custom recovery (which I've done successfully before) using Odin. trying to use Philz Touch, cause it looks awesome, but now, I'm just trying to get anything to work.

The issue is I CANNOT format my /data partition. every time I try, it crashes. I have NO idea why. it can format anything else, I can mount/unmount /data, I just can't format it. cwm freezes and quickly crashes.

The particularly annoying thing is that this happened the last time I installed CWM too, but updating to the most recent version solved that. This time, I'm trying for the most recent version right away and nothing's happening. ALSO, today, I installed PhilzTouch and it WORKED!! so I installed my custom rom (Carbon) and went to reboot. This got stuck at the boot screen, and never loaded, so I booted back into recovery and whadayaknow, I can no longer format /data.......... I have no idea what is going on. I've followed all the instructions to the letter.

I'm on d2spr (sprint galaxy s3), trying to install cwm 6.0.4.5 (or philz 6.15.4) so that I can install CarbonROM v1.8 (which I also cannot get to work. I've happily been on SlimBEAN and then SlimKat for a while and wanted to try Carbon for the extra features).

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. (also, I can't restore a backup because that includes writing to /data, which I can't do. I can get halfway through the backup so that I end up with a clean slimKat (which I don't really want, cause I have a lot of data), but that's it. CWM reboots the second it tries to write /data.

Trying to unbrick my AT&T HTC One topic

Hello all, I've been using these forums for information frequently, but this is the first time I've run into trouble. I updated my AT&T HTC One to the GPE, but decided I wanted to go back to stock with the impending HTC Sense 5.5 update around the corner. I had gotten GPE via rumrunner and the methods at htc-one.wonderhowto.com (I can't post the direct link).

I had then reverted back to a rooted stock ROM, but it would not perform OTA updates. So, my next step was to get S-ON and re-lock the device. I accomplished those, but somehow I now have no OS - I can get into recovery (stock), but cannot perform anything from there. Factory resets and wipes do nothing for me. I have access to fastboot, and have attempted running various RUUs but all of them give me error code 155, which appears to be due to the wrong version. However, I have tried all of the AT&T US RUUs I can find, so I'm sort of at a loss there.

I thought maybe I could get unlocked again so that I could load TWRP again, but running the HTCDev unlocktoken command does nothing, other than tell me it was successful - it stays on the fastboot screen instead of showing the option to choose Yes/No to unlock.

So, after hours of attempts, I'm sort of stuck. Could anyone help point me in the right direction? By the way, my device reads TAMPERED and RELOCKED in the bootloader, and S-ON. Below is the output of my getvar all:

[Q] Sprint Galaxy S3 Installation Aborted while trying to install CM11 nightlies topic

Hello,

A few months ago I successfully rooted and installed cm 10.2 on my virgin mobile GS3. I used the "d2sr" files that are made for sprint by going in and deleting the code that checks what device you have before installation. I'm now trying to update to a cm 11 nightly and every time I try to install it I just get the "installation aborted". No error code or anything. I compared the 10.2 file that is working currently to the cm 11 file and I edited both exactly the same. I have no idea why its failing and its not a rom issue because I've tried 3+ roms. I even updated my CWM to the latest. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
