I'm panicking like crazy right now because I was stupid enough to try and flash CM11 on my note 3, having no knowledge whatsoever about flashing. So, reading the "how to install" it said to wipe data, and I did. However, my backup is gone as well, and everything else except my pictures, numbers and messages. All apps are gone, even play store, and I think my root is gone as well. Excuse my poor English, I'm freaking out, what do I do? I cant even get my apps back, I cant restore data because the backup is gone, and I don't know what to do now. Is my phone broken? do I need to get a new one? Please help me :crying:
Wait, can you boot into CM11? If yes then your phone is not broken if no then please provide with more details, like why you think it is broken, so we can help you further
No you have not destroyed your phone.
You are missing play store because you havent flashed gapps, for CM11.
Download it from here

Copy the file to either the SD card or internal. Reboot to recovery and flash gapps
Or you could always just restore your handset by flashing a stock rom to it
Best regards

Hello! I have a note 4 sm n910f build number n910fxxuanj4.
Recently, I have rooted it, installed twrp and flashed the infamous rom. It does not recognize my Italian sim card, so I decided to restore the phone with twrp from the backup I had previously done ( with twrp) . Then, I tried flashing cm12 with twrp, but it gave me an error, saying that my device was different from the one that should've been used, so it stopped before even trying. I went back to touch wiz after that, and now, I have the following issues: I can't download images / videos or audios from whatsapp , telegram , dropbox or facebook ( they are the only ones I have tried) I can't even send any of those in fact. Also, I can't save any python script with the app
"Qpython" as it either sais that the place where I want to save it is unwritable, or that he can't save it in the temp file ( no idea what the second means...). I though that there was some problem with my sd card...I fact there is: I went to do an sd card data a wipe with twrp, but it would always fail. I then tried to format the sd card from the phone's settings, and that worked, but I still have the same problems I had before. I tried restoring again with my twrp backup, but I every time, the problems remain. I am starting to get a little worried and scared...I don't mind losing all the data, or having to format the entire phone or things like that....I just want to get it working like before... will flashing the stock firmware with odin do any good? Or would that risk bricking the phone ( maybe it tries to wipe the sd and it fails...I don't know)? Is there any other way? Someone please help me! Thanks a lot!
Hey everyone. I recently gave my Rogers note 3 to my wife. two days later she said it was acting up, and it kept saying com.android.systemui has stopped. when I booted into CWM I couldnt do a factory reset, and it was also saying it could open a bunch of directories. I was able to use CWM to restore to an earlier restore, but even then I couldnt do a factory reset, and CWM is still saying it cant open the directories.
After talking with another modder, he has suggested that my partitions are messed up. So, if this is the case, what is my best bet? should I use odin to reflash CWM, and then flash the stock rogers rom? She's not a power user and doesnt care for root. she just wants a working phone that has a stylus pen.
I have downloaded the latest CWM .tar, but can someone please help me find the stock rogers rom? rooted or not, i dont care. I just need help as Im helping her recover from major surgery and working 18 hour days right now so im burnt out.
Thanks in advance.
[SOLVED]
I was able to format the cache from CWM finally. Errors are all gone.
Help! I'm trying to upgrade my wife's 9505 and I'm stuck.
She was running Stock (rooted) kit-kat, and I went to upgrade her to CM12.1
First, being a good boy, I took both a TiBu backup and a nandroid backup.
I did then manage to upgrade to CM12.1, but found a few issues (some missing phone numbers, etc that weren't sync'd with google), so I took a nandroid of CM12.1, wiped, and then restored the stock kit-kat nandroid.
That kinda worked, but some things are playing up - Waze doesn't work, SwiftKey comes up with an error trying to save the language file, the Daily Mail app and Gallary don't show any pictures, etc. Basically, not very usable.
So, I copied off the missing phone numbers, etc. and then thought that I'd wipe and restore the CM12.1 nandroid to get back to where I wanted to be - but it's just stuck at the CM12.1 animated boot logo and has been for ages.
So, I can't go back to kit kat, and I can't get back to CM12.1
Any suggestions/ideas?
It smells like some kind of file-system protection issue type thingy, but I tried the usual Fix Permissions, etc - all to no avail.
Someone please help (I'm really in the dog-house at the moment!!)
Thanks
Sorted! I had to basically wipe everything! Data, Media/photos, the works. Something really got screwed up, but I think I've got it going again now...
Hello,
It has been a while ago since I've been playing with Android. So I have to find my knowledge again, which is burried somewhere deep into my brain. Even the simplest problems are very hard to fix right now, I hope my knowledge will come back very soon, so I can help Members with their problems instead of asking for help by my own.
(I'm very sorry for my bad English. I'm currently on Oxycodone for my back pain, so everything is just a little harder to do including solving problems with my Galaxy S5)
So let's talk about the problem I'm currently experiencing. While I was trying to install CyanogenMod onto my Galaxy S5, I was constantly getting an error which told me I had to clear out my Data....But I accidently wiped everything! Including my System folder! So now I'm stuck with no OS.
I can still enter Recovery and Download-mode...But the problem is that my SDcard died a couple hours ago. So I can't put a ROM onto my SDcard to flash it with Recovery. Is there any way that I can flash a CyanogenMod ROM onto my S5 without the need of a SDcard? Cause downloading a Stock ROM is taking AGES and I just want to get CyanogenMod working on my Device.
(Again, I'm very sorry if my English is bad.)
Hopefuly someone can help me out, cause all those ROM's, Kernels etc are confusing me like hell.
Kindly Regards,
Asirekor
Not really, you'll need to find a working SDCard or flash stock
Hello,
I managed to Flash Stock ROM. But now I'm having the problem that my 3G isn't working at all. Does it have todo with frequencies or something that are coming with the ROM?
Hi there,
I have two D5503's , one main one with PWR_BTN broken and with ROOT and one where the button works but the vibration is way too loud and never been ROOTED.
Anyway, after playing around trying to get rid of KingRoot and go to SuperSU it didn't work so I made a TWRP Backup of all internal partitions.
For some reason the phone didn't want to boot from one moment to the other and just went from "Sony Xperia Screen" to "Powered by Android Screen" and then rebooted.
No worries I thought, I got a backup. Then wiped everything and used TWRP to recover the previously made backup. After Restore was done - same behaviour.
So I thought - oh well, what the heck. Try a new ROM from XDA. That's what I did, flashing "[email protected][email protected]" from here in the forum.
Then I downloaded the most important apps and configured them, running a backup afterwards with the thought "if anything goes wrong I can still go back to this fresh image where SuperSU works fine and all the cr*p from the past years of using the phone and not wanting to "re-initiate" my phone. So just for kicks and wiped it again and then restored the freshly made backup. :crying: boohoo, same bootloop again.
To make it short: Is it me doing something wrong or what is going on?
Thanks for your time reading this and your input. :good:
