Can't Boot into Recovery - Lost Root Access

Hi,

Below is was my setup:

Latest TWRP Recovery
Alucard Kernel
S4 i9505
CM12.1 nightly
XPOSED v75
Viper4Android

Two days ago I decided to flash the sabermod kernel. At first I couldn't install it using the .zip (script error of some sort)

I then flashed the boot.img file as boot.

The phone was working fine for two days (rebooted twice at least).

On every Friday I download the latest nightly and flash it using the dirty flash method.

This is when I ran into trouble...

The TWRP is stuck on the Team Win screen.

I found a way to boot normally and decided to flash the alucard kernel back using Kernel Adiutor (boot.img).

The phone booted but now I have endless process stop errors (com.google.process.gapps) and I have lost root.

I need help...

Regards,

Jat

Lost LTE and internet access on some Wi-Fi networks after flashing Cyanogenmod

This is the first help post for anything tech-related that I've ever posted- I'm usually good enough with Google to fix my own problems, but this one has me flustered.

Until yesterday I was running DigitalHigh's GPE ROM but decided to give Cyanogenmod another try after some persistent lag issues. Everything went fine during the install until I noticed that I was stuck on 3G no matter what I did- airplane mode, reboot, clear the cache, try to update APN settings, etc., nothing helped. Additionally, while the phone will connect to my home wireless network, it has a ! next to the connection symbol despite my being able to use the network with my laptop. The funny thing is, this only happens with some networks. Neither my home network nor the network at work will give me internet access, but if I plug an ethernet cable into my laptop and create an access point that way, I'm fine.

Here's what I've tried so far after scouring these and other forums:

-Reverted back to the previous ROM
-Flashed new firmware
-Flashed two new kernels
-Tried every different APN setting I can think of
-Popped out my sim card, waited a bit, and popped it back in
-Rebooted countless times
-Cleared every cache I can think of
-updated TWRP

There's probably more that I can't think of off the top of my head as well. Does anybody have any idea what on earth has happened to my phone?

[Q] Lost Tethering

Until last week I have tethered away happily on my rooted, s-off'd M8 running ViperOne 4.3.0 (Android 5.0.1 with unlimited data), this week I noticed that I am seemingly unable to tether any longer. It will show that my hotspot is activated but only if the stars align will anything connect to it and when it does it runs slower than dial-up and then informs me that I'm offline. I've tried installing various tether apps but they all seem to pose the same difficulties. Not to mention if I do get the hotspot enabled most often my tablet (my main tethering options) doesn't even see my SSID (it isn't hidden). I've tried removing my the encryption and doing an open network but still the same.

I've verified that in my system/customize/acc file that the tethering is set to 0. Even tried replacing the default.xml file to no avail.

Any ideas?

[Q]Recover Lost Whatsapp Message Folder

Hi, guys.

I recently cleaned wipe my android through philz recovery to install a new rom.
I'm using titanium backup to backup/restore all my apps. However, after the installation of new ROM.. while restoring my apps.. I notice that my Whatsapp (the only app) isn't backup to recent one..

It was supposed to perform a backup dated 11 OCT.. However, when I checked the backup folder only to find out the Whatsapp backup was dated 27 SEPT instead. Therefore, titanium backup did not backup my message between 28 SEPT - 11 OCT.

Is there any way for me to get my messages back within this missing dates?

I tried some android recovery tools just to realized most were "fake".

Hoping to get some solutions. Thanks in advance.

N7105 Lost Root After Installing CM12.1 Nightlies and AGNI Kernel

Hi guys I just updated my Note 2 with Cyanogen Mod and the installation of the AGNI kernel.

I also used the reartition .zip file to regain some space.

For some reason now I have lost root.

What is the procedure for rooting the device after installing a custom rom and kernel?

[LOST IMEI] Warning for D410HN users (Brazilian Dual-SIM with NFC variant)

This warning also serves to other variants.

I see that many users of this variant are using other variant binaries and images trying to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP recovery.

My advise is to not do this or you can end with a brick.

Even worse, when trying to unbrick the phone, people are using other variant nand backup images, this will lead you to the infamous lost IMEI problem, and from this point if you don't have your modemst partitions backups, you are lost.

Flashing KDZ won't recover these partitions, they are unique to your phone and are not flashed in a normal KDZ flash, the only way to flash them is in TWRP or ADB.

I already supplied the proper D410HN Kitkat v10c and Lollipop v20a/b/c (they are the same) unlocked aboots and bootstacks but people insist flashing files from other variants.

My advise is, after rooting your phone, before doing anything else, the first thing you must do is to backup your modemst1 and modemst2 partitions to make sure you IMEI data is safe. You can make this backup in ADB or Android Terminal app with:

Code:

---

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst1 of=/storage/external_SD/modemst1.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modemst2 of=/storage/external_SD/modemst2.img

---

This will save modemst1.img and modemst2.img in your external microSD. If you want to save in your internal SD, replace /storage/external_SD to /sdcard.

Also, make a nand backup image in case of you need to make a testpoint or direct flash in nand to attempt to unbrick the phone.

Code:

---

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/external_SD/unbrick.img bs=512 count=323583

---

This will save an unbrick.img in your external microSD. If you want to save in your internal SD, replace /storage/external_SD to /sdcard. Do not share this file with anyone else, this image have your IMEI data.

Why make your own unbrick.img file?

If you look at the partition table, you will have this:

Code:

This ubrick image have your partition table and the partitions until sector 323583 (partition 15 - laf), which is enough to enter in download mode and flash KDZ with LG Flash Tool and make a complete and perfect recover. This also explains why when you flash an unbrick image from a unknown source and variant you lose your IMEI, modemst1 (11) and modemst2 (12) partitions are flashed along, overwriting your unique data.

Keep your backups in a safe place and now you can go ahead and unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, change partitions size and etc knowing that if anything goes wrong, if you manage to unbrick your phone, you won't loose your IMEI.

Good luck :good:

[Q] Odd Phone Behavior after flashing H810PR10 (Lost 30GB of memory?)

It would appear that, in my habit of ruining everything, I failed the low effort boot and bricked my new LG G4. Thankfully, I remembered that in this instance you can flash the stock firmware to return to default. Unfortunately, the US firmware wasn't available, but apparently the Puerto Rico one was. I flashed that and got my phone back working just fine, kind of.

First, it doesn't lock normally. Usually, I set it to the 10 minute lock delay, where I just have to swipe unless 10 minutes have passed, then it requires the password. Instead of going to a lock screen, it skips that and just goes right into the phone. It's probably a settings thing, but it's weird.

The worst thing is that I have apparently lost 30GB of storage to "miscellaneous". When I plug it into my computer, it says that I only have 1GB of storage on the whole phone. What is going on here?

Lost remote, cant set up

I've lost my NP remote and can no longer set up my player. Have been on the phone with support for an hour and they cant figure anything out. Their website says you can just tell your phone to "Set up my device" and it will automatically pair and such, but this is not working for me.

Any help is appreciated. I just can't justify spending to buy another remote from ASUS when its only for a NIB nexus player.

Lost pull down quick setting after Marshmallow

Right guys, I updated my Nexus 9 last night to Marshmallow. Everything was working great. I even enabled system UI tuner.

Now for some reason today, I have lost my quick setting pulldown from the top of my screen.
When I pull down down all I get the time and date batt and wifi symbol but no setting beyond that.

Also my home button seems to have a mind as it's own also, press it sometimes and it takes me back, other times I have to press my tab button and swipe programs away to get back to my home screen.

Searched and searched the web for answers, can't find any.

Anybody help?

Lost call audio after enabling call recording in g3tweaksbox

Hey guys, I'll try to be as specific as possible. It's been a little over a year since I've had this phone and this happened within maybe a month of me getting it. I've looked online but haven't had any luck other than one dead XDA post from last year.
When I got my G3 from Tmo i rooted it and installed xposed and then G3 Tweaksbox so I could enable call recording. After installing it something happened (most likely installed a rom since I was still on the stock at the time) and the call audio became erratic. Since then I've had intermittent call audio from the ear piece, bluetooth calling still works, audio with a plugged in headset still works, speakerphone still works, just nothing from the ear piece. I figured out that if I pulled up Skype and placed a call to the test line, and jacked up the audio while the call was taking place the ear piece would magically start spitting out audio, and it would continue working until I rebooted my phone, then it would stop and I'd have to do the skype nonsense all over again. Since then I've had many, many.......many full wipes, kernel changes and various roms installed. For the longest time i was using Blisspop but as of a month ago with one of the updates the call audio just stopped working completely. Now I'm using SlimLP and am still having no luck. I have no idea what's wrong and am all out of ideas.

Lost access to internal memory after flashing. Tried EVERYTHING.

Here's how I spent my last night.
I have I9500. I decided to downgrade from 5.1.1 CM, did wipe, flashed MIUI. Didn't liked it - wiped - flashed CM 4.4.2 11-20140217.
First sign of a problem were black previews in default Gallery (I can't say if it was on MIUI or CM); then I tried to install xposed and got error. It become evident that my /Android/data/ is read-only (my camera was crashing on startup, browser - when I tried to download file).
I tried to change permissions via Root Explorer -> got an error ("Can't change permission, possibly you have file system that don't allow that."). I Googled, tried some apps, without success. Tried various terminal commands, a lot - with same result. Then I formatted all partitions via recovery (they all was ext4). Fixed permissions. Installed CM nad Gapps again - no result. I wanted to format my phone via PC, but coudn't figure out how to mount it as Mass Storage.
Help, please. I'm at my wits end.

Sorry for grammar.

P.S.
Yeah, I totally forgot - last option I'm gonna use is flash original firmware via Odin. Problem is it's kinda heavy, and my internet is not so good.
