Hi guys.
O have a Defy+ phone with Android 2.3.6 onboard
(4.5.1-134_DFP-231)
Pls help me. I cant fully understand how to flash any custom ROM on it?
Root and 2ndinit installed, but i can't install CM9 or AOKP rom for example.
I am booting to 2ndinit, entering recovery, do nandroid backup, do full wipe flash zip from SDcard, flash kernel( from this thread), and finally reboot. And got continious reboots.
What am i doing wrong?
are you wiping cache and dalvik cache after you install the rom? try this and it should boot. Also for CM9 dont install the bootloader. It did not work when I tried to install the bootloader, but fine when I installed without it.
I would try the latest CM7.2 from quartx I have the apr release and its fast, stable and I have had no trouble with it. Well apart from the baseband switcher in the options would not save the changes so had to install the app for it.
here is the link if you are not sure where to get it from
http://quarx2k.ru/cm7-nightly-defy+/?C=M;O=D
just put it on the root of SD card
boot into recovery (2ndinit or CM)
you can back up your data if you want (but sounds like you have done this so the file should still be there)
factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik cache
go to zip from sd and file from sd and zip the new ROM
wipe cache and dalvik catch
reboot.
Oh you can install gapps straight after CM7.2 as well if you want gapps on your phone
here is the latest gapps for CM7
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
Thanks, man, i'll try it. Will post a review later.
yeah if you install gapps you can do this straight after the CM7.2 flash
so once cm7.2 says its finished
go back and into install from sd select the gapps zip
install that (only about 9mb so wont take long)
then clear cache and dalvik cache
reboot.
All these ROMS might take upto 10mins to boot first up but thats normal.
if you installed Gapps it will ask you for your account details. Gapps only installs google play app and the google sync for your phone and contacts so it cant resync your contacts (there is a option to sync your apps.
I would choose not to do this as I ended up with 40 apps and most I didnt want lol. If you go into google play and hit the menu button (bottom left on the phone) and select my apps they will have all the apps you have installed and you can select the ones you want instead of having them all install at once then removing the crap ones.
I run V6 supercharger script and have the power control widget on the main screen so I leave everything off and set network to 2g unless I need it and I get 3 days out of the phone easy usually have like 20% left after day 3. So cant complain about battery.

WOW!Thet's...cool!I'll try to install in in a couple of hours!
yeah not sure if its the script that helps or what. I dont use the phone to much few short calls a day and hook it up to the car stereo when I am driving around. I would get to know the ROM first if you like it mod it further. but always do a nandroid backup first. If something happens then you can always revert back.
CM9 looks good and all but to me the usability of cm7.2 far outweighs the cm9. I have modded mine own theme to so its not like you are stuck with whats installed at first boot.

Works great man!thank you! started in 2 minutes.fast smooth and ver-very customizable! Now will deeply explore CM7.2!
glad you like it. Its the best ROM so far I have tried and I been threw ICS, whiterabbit and a few others but all have problems in everyday use and I wanted something that you dont have to keep restarting things coz they freeze all the time.
cm7.2 has worked for everything I have tried so far.

What is this all about?? Isn't this just 3.2.1 for the WiFi XOOM? I'm almost afraid to run the upgrade.
Yup. 321 it is. Got it earlier, upgraded, everything is fine.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
Ok. I just pulled the .zip and all of the files are dated the 25th, which was yesterday. Here is the file.
Why are 3g xooms getting this? Is this a result of downgraded xooms that used that update zip to fix the bootloader baseband?
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
No. I never tried to update using the images from that other thread. I always wait a day or two before trying anything like that to see what happens. Still on stock 3.2. Only thing I've changed is the theme.
This is to bring 3G Xoom users up to the release build for 4G Xooms minus the radio but including all of the new security features present in HLK75D.
It also happens to contain the new 1.50 bootloader.bin which is required for those security enhancements.
Is it safe to add that zip file via cwm to a unlocked & rooted 3G?
I know it is not safe via ota
Or do we re-lock & unroot back to oem HR166 first and just take it via ota
Same update offered here today
?
New to the xoom here, is there a way to add this update while unlock & rooted?
I don't think changing the name to update.zip via cwm will work?
I maybe wrong.
In addition, if i re-lock and all back to HR166, have done it once to take the 3.2 ota update, can i just use the backup within cwm prior and restore settings and apps from that backup after this 3.2.1 update, or will that try to re-store the 3.2 os & boot onto now what would be 3.2.1?
Maybe someone here will be able to provide a walkthrough on how to get this updated. I'm rooted, but will this unroot me? will it lock the bootloader since there's a new bootloader update? I just don't feel like losing all my data and starting all the way back at HR166 again.
Am I likely to get this in the UK? I just checked for updates on my 3G Xoom and nothing shows!
I just said the heck with it and simply re-lock & unroot back to oem stock HR166 "3.0.1"
Then took the 3.1 - 3.2- 3.2.1 updates and started with a clean slate.
I did not have any custom roms and very little software, backed up the apk's and just started from scratch to avoid problems.
Yet I'd be interested in how to apply these ota update zips via cdw if possible for future references.
If my 3G Xoom is on 3.1 would this update take it all the way to 3.2? If so do I need to wait till it appears on my updates screen or is there another way?
Thanks.
Not sure about yours "international or US Verizon?", here in the states with the verizon 3G i went back to stock 3.0.1 re-locked + root, then it offered update 3.1 just over 28MB, then after that update 3.2 was available just over 15MB, took that one, then came update 3.2.1 just over 3.5MB
took that one.
To help it along i went into settings and to the bottom about tablet
Clicked the check update and they were available, once i did not even make it in there when the system told me one was available.
Again, this was on a non international USA Verizon 3G
Total time from start to finish including the re-locking and applying stock 3.01 was maybe 45 minutes in all.
My 3G has NOT been sent in yet for the LTE4G upgrade, hence the 3.2.1 and NOT 3.2.2

this update breaks the android market. You cannot update existing apps .. the market constantly force closes.
Try clearing app data for your market
It checks your system first. If you've deodexed or overclocked (modified /system/app, /system/bin, or removed/overwritten files in /system/xbin, as well as the boot image / kernel) it'll abort the install.
I flashed a boot.img that was pre rooted for 3.2. Do I need to reflash a stock boot image first?
I was at Best Buy today checking out the verizon xoom. I went into settings to check which firmare was running. A message popped up saying there was a 4.0 something update available for download. The download file was about 350mb. If that was the ICS update maybe more people will start getting the update within the next few days.
Now that would be great!!

al0vely - your mrkt app is probably not fubar'd - HTK75D or HLK75D (update received w/ 4G LTE upgrade) contains an update to the google mrkt. If the app keeps cratering, try going to > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All >
Clear the cache & data on the following Apps:
Download Manager
Market
then reboot the device.
If that does not resolve the issue: back up any personal data that would not be backed up to the cloud > reboot into Android Recovery Mode > clear cache > reset to factory defaults > reboot.
That should fix the problem.

I called Samsung Tech Support. They told me to do a Reset, which I did. So far everything is good .... All of the apps that got erased are automatically downloading all over again, which is nice. Lost most of my Contacts and Camera Pics, and probably other data (private Journal).

But did u do the same steps again after doing a factory reset? Or using as it is?

When switch on your phone, push vol up+home+power button at the same time. Phone will enter stock recovery. In recovery you can select factory reset.

If you had googled the error message you would have saved yourself some time. This used to happen to my HTC sensation XL and once with my note 3.
That process is your contacts syncing repeatedly, so just navigate to your application settings while cancelling the error message and force stop contacts and contacts sync, clear cache and you're done.
Most people don't know what to do when they get their device stuck in problems. Same was up with op. He didn't knew clearing cache would solve it . He was on the safe side by asking the tech ofiicials itself.
If he would go to recovery and would mess up somethings he would be in more trouble.
Anyways the issue is solved. :good:
I don't think thread discussion should still be open.
@op , if u want u may ask moderators to close this thread if u are done with.

Which Android-Version and BaseBand number has it got?
4.4.2 is Problematic and Buggy. And Also Deletes files
4.3 is Good.
The WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission must only grant write access to the primary external storage on a device. Apps must not be allowed to write to secondary external storage devices, except in their package-specific directories as allowed by synthesized permissions. Restricting writes in this way ensures the system can clean up files (=delete them forever, without recovery chance because of that not-so-good MTP that repalced the much better MASS-STORAGE!) when applications are uninstalled.

Why does Google want that Android Deletes „Junk"-files?
If you take Pictures and Video Recordings with CameraMX for Example, then you uninstall CameraMX, then your Recordings would stay there at Andorid 4.3. But evil KitKat 4.4.2 Andriod would delete your files!
There would be a chance at Rooted Devices to recover with IsoBuster, the worldwieds best data recovery program, if your device is rooted. But with a locked bootloader, if you want to unlock it, there's something called „Factory-Data-Reset!“
PLEASE; Google!
Please remove this „data-junk-cleaner"!
Memories and CameraMX-Reocrdings or Whatever like Paint-Pro-Drawings (I Love Playing with Kids Mode!❤❤) aren't junk!
Is there a way to turn off this DataJunk-Removage that cleans more valueable data than junky data?

Backup before doing a Factory-Reset!
---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 AM ----------
There's a Difference between Factory-Reset and Factory-DATA-_Reset!
Factory Reset is Resetting Changes (not Physical damage) to the Fevice to the point where it was copletely unused.
Factory DATA Reset Wipes (Safe-Deletes) all User Data from Storage. No recovery chance anymore! TOO BAD!
AnDrOiD 4.4.2 is the most BOGUS AndrOId Version i've EVER SEEN in the version History List!
I decided to start this thread to share our experience with different modules in exclusive for our Moto X 2014. There is one post talking about Lollipop compatible modules http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-lollipop-compatible-modules-t3032184, but is way to general and sometimes, at least for me, when a module says is compatible and after installed I enter in bootloop and in the worst escenario, I had to flash my system again (5 times by now).
So, if you want to share your experience and different configurations just remember to share your settings, such as:
Settings
Firmware version
Android version
Module and version
If the module is reported as not working but you can make it work, share how you did it.
Anything usefull

2. LPThemer: Working partially, if you try to change "system" colors after a reboot the phone stuck at boot logo, you can solve it by entering recovery and fixing permissions; once you are on the LPThemer menu again, just revert changes. http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.vikas.lollipop.themeLink.

XT1093 US Cellular
Android 5.0.2
Unlocked & rooted
Xposed modules I have active are in the screenshot attached. Only issues I have had is the phone hanging at the carrier boot animation (US Cellular 4g). I've had the issue with all of the modules I have active hanging on first reboot. Two ways to get around the bootloop.
1 ) press & hold the power button until it reboots. If that didn't work, then
2 ) press & hold the power button & when the phone shuts off press power button with volume down to enter the bootloader. You have 2 options here. You can select normal startup & see if the phone boots (it has for me a couple of times) or you can select recovery (TWRP for me) & wipe caches - I do dalvik cache & partition cache & reboot. It has yet to fail to boot after this wipe.
Greenify & X-Blast didn't work the last time I tried.

Hey gang, I doubled checked and couldn't come up with an answer but somehow Android System Update got past my frozen FOTA & Update Center (few others) as well as having system updates unchecked in Dev Options. I haven't installed the update & would love to stay on 10D.
So I boot into fastboot, run the fastboot erase fota and get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
As most can spot I'm definitely in fastboot as the fastboot getvar all and fastboot reboot function just fine. I tried defrosting the fota & others and that also didnt work.

Tmob,
I moved the Update.zip from Cache and the otacerts.zip from system/etc/security to my SD card and then went to settings/app [enable show system]/Update Center and cleared data and cache to remove the notification. I think I cleared the cache on Google Play Services as well the 1st time around but the notification came back on restart.
Side note: I had the update center frozen & it still was during clearing the data & cache. I've rebooted a few times and notification is still gone..hope it stays away. Still curious why the fast boot commands didnt work.

Ok, here's what I did. It's the old Sammy trick. As you did, delete or move the update.zip file from /cache directory. You will have to unfreeze the update center to get the notification again.
I selected the update notification from notifications and then selected to install it. See the attached. It said rebooting. It won't reboot because the necessary file is gone. Wait 10 seconds and touch the recents home key and close the window. Done!
I rebooted the phone and no nag.
I'm on OvrDrive's 10j base now so it doesn't matter, but if you want to stay on 10d and stop the nags, this will work. Once the update fails, it won't try anymore.

These are great instructions, Im keepin them handy if my notification returns. How do you like OvrDrive's rom? I've traditionally stayed rooted stock but lately been curious about trying one out for a test drive.

I hope this worked for you. I was afraid to try this even though it used to work on all my sammy phones, but I bit the bullet and it worked. @OvrDriVE 's ROM is great. I do a lot of lurking watching what is going on with each rom and I feel that Ovrdrive has the best. That's not to say anything bad about the other guys. They are very involved and actually help people out in rom threads that aren't even theirs. We have a great group of folks here. With that said, OvrDrive's I believe has the least complications and he is very responsive. I believe he came from a Note 4 which is where I came from and his reputation on the Note 4 was excellent.
I got a Nexus 6P and it received the Oreo update yesterday. After installing the update, there were few errors like "Gboard stopped working" etc., That happened only once and the device was working normally for few hours. Now suddenly, I keep getting "Google keeps stopping" in the launcher screen. When I close the popup, the launcher is reloaded and the popup appears again immediately. Phone is currently kind of unusable. Tried to open Settings, but that got closed as well.
Tried checking Play Store for the latest updates, but got none. Anyone else got this issue? Any idea if this can be resolved?

Try wiping the cache partition from stock recovery. If you have TWRP (doesn't sound like it) wipe dalvik cache as well.

In the stock recovery, I see only these options:
Reboot bootloader - Restarts this recovery
Recovery mode - Boots up and then shows "No Command"
Power off
Barcodes - Shows barcodes of various things about the device.
Start - Starts the device normally, issue still exists
I don't see any option for wiping the cache partition.
I don't have TWRP installed, but will do if that is my last option.
Just figured out how to clear the cache partition from recovery mode. Just tried clearing the cache partition. But the issue still persists.

It's kind of a long shot but you can go into settings>>apps and force close and wipe data from both Google App and Google Now Launcher, then restart the phone. If you are still seeing the error regularly then you download the full OTA (.019) and sideload it from recovery mode. You will not lose your data this way. If that sounds too daunting, you can also do a factory reset from recovery which will wipe your userdata, so be sure and back up your stuff before the factory reset.

I can't do that, since I am not able to open Settings -> Apps. It gets closed as "Settings has stopped working"

Just did a factory reset. I didn't get the error for an hour. After setting up all my apps for half a day, the error came back. It is unfortunate that even stock Android has issues with Google's official app.

The problem is on your end. You will need to properly wipe your phone and reinstall Android. I would suggest you just go ahead and unlock your bootloader now, because unlocking at any point in the future will wipe the phone. After that is done, re-install Android 8.0. There are many tutorials on how to do this. It will not void any warranty you may have. It will give you more tools to work with in the future. Good luck.

Try Nova launcher. It's working great. Best luck.
There is some critical error for the new android Oreo (for me is nexus 6p) which make a system crash on the desktop (google now launcher) and on settings (you can't open app list). It is can be created by any of your applications which you need to find. So only way to remove the app, in this case, it is to use a google play application or maybe some other launchers. For me, it was "6 Minute English". I find it via installing nova launcher and on the common app list, the application was shown without a logo, with green robot image instead.
Google keeps syopping after OREO update
I had the same problem with my Samsun Galaxy J7 after the update. I just unstalled the google from the apps. It went back to the previous version. Now the problem is solved
