Not really sure what to do as even my restore is weird (Like I said, no play store.. just missing a lot of poo poo.

I have a rooted stock HTC One, what's the best way to install the OTA for 4.4.2 and keep root? I figure I should side load the OTA with adb and then re-install superuser.

I had that happen once on my old Evo when the SD card filled up from the backup and it didn't bother to actually notify me that the backup wasn't complete. Of course it was one of the few times I actually needed the backup, restore it and half my stuff's missing. LastInLine posted:As a Nexus user, I would just flash the stock firmware and start over. Is there an equivalent in non-Nexus-land? Any device with an unlocked bootloader (either officially or unofficially) is pretty much the same, just wipe clean and reflash everything from the ground up. No need to revert to stock, just start with a fresh install of your ROM of choice.

For some reason now, I haven't been able to get data for days on my safestrapped note 3 on verizon. What can I do to fix this? I can't get data, I can't send out any text messages, normal or mms. I'm pretty frustrated.

I saw some talk last page about the GPE rom for a Galaxy S4. I haven't bothered with any of this in a long time, but was under the impression I could probably find a clean, totally stock GPE version rom and flash to a T-Mobile Galaxy S4, without all the traditional xda additions. Is this the case? A quick look on xda left me not confident about this. My wife prefers stock android over TW but wants a better camera, so if I can get both for her with the S4 that'd be great. I just don't want to have to keep messing with flashing poo poo if at all possible; my ideal scenario would be flash an "official" GPE rom and then let her take OTA updates as Google/Samsung release them, if that's possible.

Does anyone have any good references which discuss the more technical side of how su and root actually work (which will mostly be Linux-y stuff I guess), how to use it within an app, limitations, etc?

Knowing the N4, I'd wager your radio, bootloader, and ROM don't match. If that happens the N4 will bootloop which is due to the measures they took to disable LTE in the stock radio.

Mmmmmokay. Well, I downloaded the factory files from Google, flashed them with fastboot, and still I only get bootlooping. Did it again meticulously, same problem. What else can I do? e: I can flash a custom recovery and adb push cyanogenmod to it, that's what I can do. e2: Also bootlooping. e3: Went for an older factory image and it booted. Cool! e4: Ok, I need to go to bed. There's definitely something wrong - not finding any cell networks with my microsim card, and trying to update from stock results in bootloops.

What's your baseband in Settings > About Phone? If you can't get to Android because of the update, it should also show your baseband version in the bootloader. (That's volume down + power.) What's your bootloader version if you boot to it? Lastly, what build worked? Give me those three and I should be able to walk you through getting everything to work. You've wiped all the data on the device, correct?

Well thanks, I sure appreciate it! It's been wiped multiple times. Baseband version is Unknown in About Phone, on bootloader it reads M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.48 Bootloader version is MAKOZ10o Working build is 4.2.2 JDQ39.

I'd like to set up Titanium Backup to be efficient as possible with backing up stuff. If I have my initial backup of all my apps is the "Redo backups for modified data" the way to maintain them? Does it just backup apps with data that has been changed since the last backup? If that is the case then I would also need another schedule to backup new and updated user apps correct?

Crotch Fruit posted:It is inded not activated, and this morning I tested dash cam software (Daily Roads Voyager) and the GPS still functions just fine. -Make sure you're running SafeStrap 3.65 -Flash CM11 to slot 1 -Take a backup of the stock slot and keep a copy somewhere safe because you're going to need it when the CM11/spyder GPS bug hits. -Backup your CM11 installation from Slot 1 then restore that backup to the Stock slot -Delete Slot 1, clear cache/dalvik on Stock and boot -Your phone feels 8 times faster than either stock or CM11 on slot 1 even though it's more like 20% faster The only way to unfuck the GPS bug on CM11 for the Razr/Razr Maxx is to boot to the stock firmware, acquire GPS signal, then boot back to CM11. If you don't have the stock firmware backed up, you have flash your phone back to completely stock first. I managed to destroy my Maxx recently trying to fix it so I'm not following development closely anymore, but there's a snowball's chance in hell of anyone bothering to write a new baseband for it and the devs said that would have been the only way to fix the GPS and signal loss bugs.

Crosspostin' from the Android thread because I'm dumb and didn't notice this was the place for the question: Hey Droidgoons, I'm having some issues and I was hoping someone could help me decide what to do. Just bought an used Galaxy SIII for my wife since her SII got wet with a single drop of rain and died. The SIII was from some friends that sold it pretty cheap and it's in perfect (physical) condition. Now, the problem is that it freezes every now and then, and sometimes it does weird things like head to the SMS screen when she closes any app. The first thing that comes to mind is that it's got CyanogenMod installed, and that's what probably causing these issues. We also didn't have a SD card (got one today) so maybe the lack of it + Cyanogen caused something to go wonky. I thought about going back to its original OS, specially since my wife doesn't really mind the OS she uses. Problem with that is that the phone was unlocked by software (as far as I can tell) and I'm not sure if a that would lock it again. Also, no idea how to go back to stock SIII OS. What do you guys think? is it possible that the Cyanogen ROM is what's making it act weird, and if so is there a way to go back to the original OS without locking the phone again? I'm tempted to just return it to our friends and ask for the money back, but it's a pain in the rear end since I have to mail it to them, wasting more money.

The phone should have a custom recovery and you can try doing that, also if you feel like doing some rom instalation, install a stable version if you don't have one already. In other news, I've been using the GPE rom for my S4 and I really like how 4.4.2 with ART goes. I'm trying to surive without nova launcher (I always used Nova on top of CM and disabled trebuchet) but I miss some features CM 10.2.1 had like pulling the right side of the notification bar bringing the settings and that. Xposed+gravity doesn't work with ART, does it work with Dalvik?

I only use GB for volume skip, extended power and volume panels, and Quick Setting Panel changes and for that it's fantastic. Oh yeah, I also put the connectivity indicator back into the status bar for those times my phone connects to a public wifi with a terms page. Of course you'll get those three nice touches you forget aren't stock too: edge pulldown for QSP, slide on notification shade handle to swap QSP and notifications, and clock shortcut in the notification pane (although instead of clock/date buttons it's press/longpress). GravityBox owns and I donated because it's so well done and the developer is so friendly and helpful.

Hugoon Chavez posted:Galaxy SIII issues... It's fairly straightforward to flash the stock firmware if you have a PC. There are guides all over, but you'll use a program called ODIN, to flash a firmware you can find at sammobile.com/firmwares (it sounds a tad sketchy but Samsung themselves flat out doesn't have a customer-facing repository for firmwares like this that I've found). Search for your model number there, and pick the latest firmware (should be able to see the latest Android version in the description). This process will put the phone back to as if it just came out of the box.

Installed the lastest CM Nightly today, and a few of my applications deleted themselves somehow. The first one I noticed was Chronus, which I have the paid version of. I just assumed that a change in CM's cLock overwrote the play store version so I just restored it from backup. Then I noticed IRSSI ConnectBot and IRSSI Notifier were gone too. Checking my Titanium Backup there were a few other odd applications missing as well. Anyone heard of this happening?

The Moto X forum over at XDA is a confusing mess so I guess I'll ask here: I am currently rooted but bootloader locked on 4.4.0 on a Sprint Moto X. Is there currently a way to get rooted 4.4.2 on here? I'm completely willing to unlock the bootloader (I already have the unlock key), I'm just not sure what the next step is, if there is one. edit: never mind, I figured it out.

Yeah definately loving GPE rom + GB. I have my quick settings working like the CM one and some other nice stuff. I also placed the data meter in the center of my status bar (# kb/s indicator). I'll probably toss a few bucks their way since is mindnumbling that they do better than most premium launchers.

Is they're anything I can do to make my Apple Earpods work with a root or something? The one that comes with the Galaxy s4 should not be allowed to be made. Maybe this gravity box thing because apps don't seem to make them work.
