Alright guys, I downloaded NC2 kernel and FINALLY flashed alliance rom , at first it was all fine, it flashed quicklly and I got to looking around the rom and noticed when my phone screen times out and I go to turn it back on with the home button it doesnt work AT ALL I can use the home button while my phone is on doing any normal task, but when I go to push it to light my phone up to swipe it , I get nothing
If the mods don't delete this ------ I'll post the fix (which I'm sure the OP found):
Go to Settings --> Custom Settings --> Lockscreen Mods --> Wake with Home Key (make sure that's unchecked) - so it says: Home Wake Enabled.
The rom came with that disabled on a clean flash. I originally thought I broke something when this happened to me, lol.

So I am new to this whole flashing thing and just recently flashed my phone using Eugene373 Froyo rom. Seems to be ok for the most part but a couple things I noticed:
1) I can no longer use OCLF to fix my lag issues.
2) when I redownloaded the rom manager after flashing and I reboot into recovery it gets stuck at the vibrant screen. I let it go for about 5-10 minutes and nothing happed. Should i have waited longer??
3) When I power off my phone to and use the 3 button sequence to get into recovery mode it will not let me. the phone just keeps wanting to power on.
Any body have any ideas how to fix any of these issues??
Go to rom manager and click flash rom manager its the top box that will allow you to get into custom recovery

Heya XDA - I have no idea WTF happened to my tab. Received notification of a OTA upgrade yesterday, taking me to one of the most recent 3.1 builds (.10 if I remember) - this morning woke up to another OTA update message offering me to go to .11 - accepted, downloaded, tablet hung up during the OTA process.
Now here's where it gets tricky. No matter what I do, when powering up my tablet I get the "Power Off - Shutting down" screen, and a endless spinning circle as the tablet claims to be shutting down. I cannot access any part of the system - all on screen commands are dead, except for the Settings icon in the lower right hand corner - i can click it, enter settings - but the moment I try to select a catagory or change any setting, the system goes right back to the "Power off - Shutting down" screen.
I am way outside the 30 days I can get a trade in - really don't want to have to mail this thing off to Acer.
Here's what I have tried:
One of Vache's full ROM images for my Region - flashed via power and vol process- fails about 1/4 of the way through.
Clearing cache/data - managed to get the vol/power+rotation lock combo going that clears cache and data. Still cannot boot - once I power on no matter what I do I get the "Power Off - Shutting Down" screen.
Tried to do the factory reset via USB keyboard + "Home"??? button? Heard mention this opens up a menu of some sort that I can factory reset from, I have two different USB keyboards and cannot manage to make this happen. Anyone able to explain this? Can this help me?
What's so weird about this - once I power up, I get the "Power Off - Shutting Down" screen no matter what I do. During this time, my battery shows up as %15 - this a500 has been on the charger for hours and hours, overnight last night, was 100% this morning before I applied the OTA update. Even with tablet plugged in, the battery shows as only 15%. What's even weirder - with tablet power off and plugged in, I do not get the red or blue charging light from the power button.
Totally freaking out here, no idea what to do. Anyone able to help?
Edit: When trying to manually flash a update.zip - I am getting the Clockwork Mod (I think?) flash screen - a green droid guy with gears turning. This fails about half way through. I have installed ClockWorkMod before this problem - but cannot enter the clockwork menu by the normal vol/power combo - I am so confused
Edit again: From browsing other posts - seems I am not the only one with this problem. The most recent OTA update failed, every single reboot since then is useless - all I can get is the "Shutting Down.." screen. Trying yet another update.zip via MicroSD to see if I can actually restore my tablet
Edit Yet once more (Problem Resolved!) - no idea how - but after a lot of searching I found a full package with build number 4.010.40_COM_GEN1 - this update.zip flashed with no problems, and my Iconcia is UNBRICKED! Sorry for the panic, everyone
OTA .13 Failure
I have the same problem, but got there by a different path. After many attempts to upgrade to .11 from .7, I downloaded the full file .02 to .11, decrypted and moved update.zip into the external sd card. Used the power / vol- combination and the update to version .11 went on without a hitch. Shortly after that, I received a notice that .13 OTA was available. It appeared to install without a hitch but after it rebooted (automatically) the tablet came back and immediately displayed the never ending Power Off screen described above. I would add that a two gears with a belt icon is sitting in the top left corner and "Android System" is noted beside that icon. I have tried every trick I have found in the forums to fix this:
1. Removed the SD card and shut down the tablet
2. Used power / vol- with portrait rotation lock turned on
3. Put the SD Card (with the .11 update.zip file ) back in and tried 1 and 2 again (no change: never ending power Off)
4. Tried power / vol+ with rotation lock. Saw the cach clear and looked very promising. Came back up with the rotating gears guy, but still went back to Power Off.
As soon as the power button is pressed the power icon goes red and stays there. Looks like the .13 update fools the device into thinking the battery is dean and it tries to shut down but never completes the cycle.

Moving to Q&A.
PS: Every Q? thread should be posted in Q&A.
Thanks for that - sorry for mispost. Again, as noted in my original post - question answered, issue resolved. Total panic this morning

For sure - sorry about the delay on that, was just so excited to be unbricked after a day of futile effort, I needed a break.
Anyway - here's what I have figured out. Somehow during the ota update I received this morning something failed - the tablet rebooted, and regardless of what I did the moment I booted up I would get the powering down notification. System access was not possible. This was on a 100% stock official 3.1 version - even unrooted before letting the update run.
Tried one of the full ROMS from Vache's thread in the dev section, as well as a bunch of other backup images I was able to find. Every single one failed at about 25%.
After a lot of fail - I gave this thread a try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1187578
"Bricked Tablet...help!"
I used the link on the bottom of page one - the unencrypted update.zip user kjy2010 was kind enough to upload - here is the direct link - http://www.multiupload.com/WCT2FYLMQC
This one worked - put on MicroSD card and flashed via vol/power method - result - 4.10.40_COM_GEN1 - and I am unbricked! Iconiaroot 1.3 worked for getting root after install - slowing getting my tab back to normal now
A few months back, I broke the digitizer on my AT&T G2, and the bottom 5th of the screen stopped registering touches. Which sucks when you have on screen buttons. I was on CM11 at the time, so thankfully I was able to unlock the screen just fine and use screen rotation (combined with the Rotate app) to do almost everything I needed. One time I even did a wipe and clean install of CM11 and was able to use screen rotation to re-set up my phone to how I needed it.
Today I did a clean wipe and flashed CloudyProII 2.0 onto my phone, assuming I could do a similar set-up. Everything went well until the first screen, which has a next button at the bottom and doesn't rotate. I'm not able to pull down the menu bar, and since this is a clean install, ADB is off, and my google account isn't set up. So I decided to just reboot to recovery and re-flash CM11. Only for some reason the LG G2 button combo to reboot to recovery isn't working (maybe CloudyProII removed my custom recovery?), though the Download Mode combo is (and confirms I'm rooted still).
So now I'm stuck with a phone I can't use, and I'm sure there's an easy solution that will get me up and running again. If anyone can offer any advice, I'd be tremendously grateful!
EDIT: I was able to get into recovery and all is good now! Nevermind!

Hey guys,
I flashed this ROM on my LG G2 (802) http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/rom-official-mokee-source-project-t3274849/page2. Everything has been okay so far.
In the Mokee thread I read installing gApps would work like this:
"you can go MokeeCenter after starting rom, there you can download the small gapps integrated into the system and have a lighter and clean rom."
Unfortunally for me there was no option to download gApps via "MokeeCenter". Of course I found Settings -> MokeeCenter.
So I decided to download open_gapps-arm-6.0 (has been the minimal version, I think) and flashed it.
After I rebooted into system, I now am stuck at a popup which immediately and continiously pops up, saying "setup assistent has been closed". So I cannot do anything else than pressing "ok ok ok ok ok ok"
Big problem for me now is, that for some unknown reason, I cannot boot into twrp recovery using one of the hardkey methods.
I usually was able to do it like this:
- Shut down.
- Press power + volume down until LG logo appears.
- Release only power button, then immediately press power button again (while still pressing volume down).
I think I now tried any of the other methods as well (power + volume up instead of down... or release power AND volume down, then press both again... and so on...)
None of them work for me.
I might have to mention, that after the first appear of the popup loop, I read something about flashing "bootstack-d802-CAF-signed" as part of a solution.
I did so, but it diddn't help. Instead of a solution this might be part of my problem, because since I was able to flash it I obvously must have been able to enter twrp before this step.
What should I do now?
By the way: Can some of you tell me, if the annoying crackle/hissing of my headphones is gone with Android M?
I want to know this, because this has been the ONLY reason for me to flash Android M, since I wasn't able to find a solution for Android Lollipop (CM12). I find it extremely (!) uncomfortable to talk to people using my bose qc25 headphones/headset since my Lollipop update, because everytime when a person speaks just a few words with longer pauses between the single words, I have sound errors and hissing/crackles and even some really wired kind of "distortion" at the beginning of each single word and often have to ask people to repeat what they said.
The headphones themselves sound absolutely okay, it's just with the LG G2 phone. (i.e. a friend's Samsung S5 works fine with the bose qc25)
If this bug isn't gone with Android M (or at least fixable) I think I will buy a new cellphone instead of trying to unbrick my LG G2 if unbricking will be a pain in the ass, so I am very interested in an answer regarding the sound bug as well.
Thank you for reading.
with best regards,
Milan
I now have been able to setup a guest account. Running the guest account, I can quit the popup by pressing "ok" once. It doesn't return and is followed by "Gallery stopped" which I am able to quit too. But as guest I cannot get root access to use a software based reboot to recovery, right?
follow these steps
1. go to settings and find applications menu
2. select find system applications from menu
3. find installiation wizard or something else (i am using my rom in Turkish "Kurulum Sihirbazı".
4. click on it and edit permissions
5. enable people and phone sections.
6. cheers

Problem was, I could not navigate because there has been this fu*** popup always on top.
I have been able to enable root access and advanced shutdown options by clicking almost 1000 times "ok" at the annoying popup while I used another finger to tap something at the screen as soon as possible. Scrolling was like stuck motion this way... So I have been able to enter twrp and flash another rom.
Nonetheless I tested calling a person with the guest account (by allowing phone calls for guests via the same "tapping-technique"... took me aboout 10 minutes) and found out, there are exactly the same hissing /crackling problems with Android M than with Android L. So I will try Android Kitkat now. This bug is very common. Is there someone who can tell me a working solution? I am pretty sure my phone did not have this bug when I bought it with Kitkat OS installed. So a kitkat rom is my last hope right now.

Milan
Hello guys. I am facing a weird problem/bug. The problem is when I want to use my phone I press power button and it ask me to enter the pin. I enter correctly but then wallpaper shows for 2 to 3 seconds, then again it asks for pin. It keeps asking until I restart my phone (only then the pin works and I can use my phone) and if the phone goes to sleep it again goes to lockscreen loop. I am using Ressurection Remix 6.0 (MM) rom in my Qmobile i9 (replica of Explay Fresh). Kindly help me.
Here's a video of what problem I am facing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f-0SpXua2M
P.S: I can't change pin or turn it off because whenever I want to change it or disable pin my SETTINGS force close. "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped working". It worked fine before but I don't know how it started happening.
THINGS TO REMEMBER:
I can't reset my phone because it asks for pin, when I enter pin it says Settings has stopped working.
Also SPFT is not working. It does not start download. I don't know what is the problem with it because last time I somehow managed to download rom with it. It sucks because it keeps detecting my phone, no downloading start!!
Help.

May be its a strange bug in the ROM. Have you tried to install stock rom through SPFT?
I use Bliss 6.0 and have no such weird issues.

Yes I tried installing stock rom but download doesn't start. I can hear the device plug in sound (windows sound when device plugged in and out) but SPFT doesn't start downloading!!!
Here's the fix of this bug:
I somehow managed to fix this bug. The things I did are:
• Uninstalled Nova Launcher (I had also installed Arrow Launcher and Trebuchet Launcher (stock launcher). So I think that uninstalling the additional launcher (which you don't use) will fix this problem.
• I set root access to "Apps and Adb" from Settings>>Developer Options
• Restart the phone and hurray device works fine!!!
So it means that Launcher is the main issue of this bug. You can try uninstalling all launchers if the problem presists (make sure you don't uninstall the stock one) LOL |
GUYS THIS IS THE TEMPORARY FIX BECAUSE I AM FACING THIS ISSUE AGAIN!
:laugh: :good:
