Having Trouble Getting Back to Sense After Converting to GPE

Okay, so the other day I decided to convert my HTC One M8 to a Google Play Edition (I mean the full conversion with OTA updates and everything, not just a GPE ROM). It was nice for a few minutes, but I immediately started to miss Sense, and I'm not a big fan of stock Lollipop like I thought I'd be. So, I used an online tutorial to restore back to Sense, except when I tried to install the custom Sense ROM I was using before the conversion (LeeDroid) via TWRP, I got an error during the install in AROMA that said "set_perm: some changes failed". Then the install failed completely. I tried wiping Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache again, but that didn't help. Then I tried wiping the System partition, but that didn't help either. I also tried other ROMs like Android Revolution HD and SkyDragon, and those installs both returned similar errors. I can flash CyanogenMod without any problems.

I know that converting to Google Play Edition changes the partition sizes (specifically the System partition), but I followed a tutorial and successfully factory reset my phone via the stock Recovery...so the partitions should be back to normal. I also re-flashed the firmware version I had before (4.16.401.10), so that can't be the issue. But just to experiment, I also flashed an older firmware version (specifically 1.54.401.5) and an older version of TWRP (2.7.1.0) and then installed ViperOneM8 v. 1.6.0 (which is over a year old). For some reason, that worked just fine and I can run KitKat and Sense 6...but why won't Lollipop work?

I'm sorry if this is confusing, but in a nutshell, I can't flash any Lollipop, Sense-based ROMs. I get either a "set_perm: some changes failed" or "some symlinks failed" error during installation in AROMA Installer. I really don't know what those errors even mean, which is part of my confusion. Does anyone have any advice?

Having a major problem with wifi

The first few days my WiFi was functioning just fine. Now it seems no matter the network, if I try to connect it just doesn't happen. It will show connecting under the network for a split second, and just appear to stop trying. Anyone else having this problem? It's really bugging me that even my home WiFi will not work on this phone. I've tried forgetting the network, restarting etc. My note 3 is having no problem but it's just getting nowhere on my 5.

Fire Phone and Chromecast - anyone else having trouble?

Hi all, I just got a Fire Phone since they're so cheap and have set it up with 4.6.3 and google play, most things seem to be working fine, but I am having some issues with my chromecast. Most apps seem to work Youtube, Beyondpod, Crunchyroll, Play Music and the Chromecast cast screen all work just fine, but Netflix doesn't seem to recognize anything besides my roommates Fire Stick, and Hulu doesn't display the cast icon at all!

Netflix and Hulu are my two most used casting apps so losing them would be a big loss, has anyone else had issues or know of a workaround?

Oneplus 2 having screen issue. Help!

Hi,

My OPT has deveoped these white spots all over the screen. I have tried wiping the device several times and also tried installing a different OS and the problem still persists. Do you think it's a h/w issue? When i boot into TWRP these spots don't appear so I think it's a software issue. Can anyone suggest methods to fix this? I have attached some screenshots

Anyone having any issues with the newest version of Hangouts?

This might not be a Moto X issue, but I was running the same version of the same app on my Nexus 5 with no problem. After updating to the newest version of Hangouts, which I use for SMS, the app runs terribly slow. Typing a message is painfully slow, and often the autocorrect doesn't keep up with my typing and becomes useless. Scrolling through messages is laggy. Sometimes when I first open the app to respond to a message it starts off running fine but then within a few seconds of typing slows down again.

I've tried removing the update, gong back to the version that came preinstalled, clearing data etc. and nothing seems to help. I can of course just use a different app for texting but I'd really like to know what's causing the problem an if anyone else is having it.

Having issues with Flashtool

Recently my Z3 has started acting up, I can't turn on either bluetooth or wifi and attempting to do so will freeze the phone for a good few seconds before I can use it again. I've been attempting to revert back to stock firmware using flashtool to no avail. I've enabled USB debugging, flashtool recognizes my device fine. I've installed all of the drivers that come with flashtool however my issue is whenever I select "flashmode" in the bootmode chooser menu nothing happens. I've read and watched several tutorials and after selecting flashmode I thought I was supposed to get a drop down menu allowing me to select a FTF file (which I have downloaded and put in the firmwares folder) however no menu appears. If I select fastboot mode a window appears with all the fastboot options however flashmode results in nothing occuring. I've tried using two different PC's however I have the same issue with both (One PC running Windows 10 other running Windows 7). This might be a stupid issue with an easy fix however I've found no information on how to do so and it's been driving me insane the past hour and a half. Any support would be appreciated.

having problems rooting Android double din radio...need help!

Hey guys, I'm not new to rooting as I've done many devices, but I have to say the project I have now seems impossible. ...

I have and Android double din radio that I purchased of of Ebay, it says it is running android 4.4.4 jelly bean...It has so many restrictions, I can't access bluetooth settings/but will connect to any cellphone with no problems. ..and the USB access is very limited as the manufacturer seems to have hidden these features to make more profit on THERE OWN OBDII sacanners and tv box etc that you HAVE to purchase from them ONLY!, or those features WILL NOT work....

I love the fact that I have android in my car but this limited access is very annoying.

ANY help would be appropriated, thanx!

Howto flash Dual recovery on Sony Xperia Z1 having lollipop 5.0.2(Build 14.5.A.0.270)

Hi!I am using this Sony Xperia Z1 C6902. I have already rooted it with Kingroot and also have unlocked the bootloader. Now when I refer to various tutorials to flash custom recoveries like the dual recovery, I found out that those tutorials are meant for some other build ( e.g. .585).

Also could i get the method to flash Xposed framework after flashing the custom recovery ?
Please help me as soon as possible !

Anyone having problems with Bluetooth

I previously owned a Sony Z3v and had no complaints. I run and workout regularly so I often use bluetooth headphones while doing so. These in particular http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/backbeat-fit. I'm been having issues since day 1 with these disconnecting. I have to power them down and power them up again to reconnect. Even when they lose connection, they show they are connected but are non responsive. I had not trouble whatsoever with my sony experia.

Anyone else having these kind of issues? I've checked the forums and I don't see any reports. Is this isolated?

URGENT: Anyone else having issues with their phone recognizing fast chargers?

I just upgraded from an S6 Edge to an S6 Edge+ and I've noticed that my phone is having trouble with fast charging. When I plug it in, it simply says "Cable charging". I have to unplug it and plug it back in 3-12 times to get it to say "Fast charging". I'm using the OEM Samsung fast chargers (the one that came with my S6 Edge+ as well as the one that came with my old S6 Edge). My old S6 Edge never had an issue like this.

Is it just my phone, or is this a wide software bug on the new S6 Edge+'s? Trying to determine whether I need to swap my phone at T-Mobile for a new one. Thanks!

GalaxyS3 having issues...

Hey Guys!
I know its a long shot but i need help fixing my rooted SGH-t999. The story is that its been having problems for the last few months now ( overheating constantly and easily, running out of battery rapidly even with an extended battery, and freezing up and shutting down randomly). I've installed Multiple ROMs (all clean installs) with no avail. Cyanogenmod heated up too fast, Carbon rom was buggy (but it was a nightly), but PAC rom was the best of the three until recently. It would lag like hell when I'd send texts, but wouldn't flinch when watching Netflix or using Google Maps. It would also shut down whenever I'd take a picture with flash (torch works fine though). I haven't done anything unusual with my phone lately like drop it or spill water on it. This morning I tried to shut off my alarm and noticed it was a bit hard as the touch screen was acting up. Then I tried to unlock my phone and the touch screen wouldn't work. i know the phone didn't freeze because the power, home, and
capacative buttons worked fine. I tried factory resetting it, installing old roms, restoring previous backups, removing the battery, and wiping the cache. Tonight i got tired of it and wanted to unroot my phone and install stock firmware. I downloaded the proper file, Odin, and Kies, but when i tried to install the os, I got this...

Having some trouble with slow motion playback

Hello all,
I recently purchased an LG G4 from AT&T, and I am so far, extremely satisfied with it. Overall, it's a great phone, but obviously not without it's flaws. So far, one I've found is that I can't seem to get slow motion video to play back on my device. I've looked around on the interwebs, and found that playback only works in the default "Video" app, which doesn't seem to exist in my app drawer. I see it in the app list in settings, but sadly, not anywhere where it can be opened. On top of this, the default gallery app doesn't seem to play them either (not the google photos or gallery, this is the LG gallery). If anyone has some insight into this, or a potential fix, any help would be gladly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Ivory

having a heck of a time trying to flash stock recovery

Hey guys. It's been awhile since I've tinkered with the M8, and I guess I'm a little out of touch. (no pun intended)

The phone was dropped and I have insurance with it from AT&T through Asurion, so I put a claim in for it and I guess they don't have M8s at the moment because they're getting me an M9, which is cool. I don't know what their policy is on sending back rooted phones. I mean it's insurance....not a warranty necessarily, so idk if it's a big deal or not.


....anyway,


I'm working from a Windows 7 PC. It's a different win 7 then when I originally rooted the M8 and put the recovery on, but it'll sync up alright. I I type in "adb reboot bootloader" and it restarts fine, but once I get to the bootloader, I type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and I get a message saying it can't be loaded. When I go to type in the command "adb reboot bootloader" from the bootloader to restart it, it says the device <null> isn't connected. I can run the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" command when the phone is booted to the rom, and it seems to take it, but it gets hung up and just says "waiting on device"


So I'm not sure. I've reinstalled the drivers a few times but I'm still getting the same results. I just wanted to put it back to the way it was so I don't catch any flack from the insurance company, but for all I know they probably won't even care. Any advice would be appreciated. I'm going to keep messing around with it, but I don;t seem to be getting anywhere.

Thanks, guys.

Has anyone else been having GPS issues?

Coincidentally (perhaps), since the last update (Stagefright patch), my GPS has been rendered almost unusable. No physical damage to the phone. Not temp rooting (if I can't run Cyanogen or custom ROM root isn't useful to me). But since then, the GPS is absolutely broken. I drive truck all day and I use my GPS A LOT so I'm not some dude just getting directions to the store. It was working great, now it's almost useless. Do apps like GPS Fix actually do something? How can they without being able to write to system? Any input is appreciated here. I don't wanna do a warranty because AT&T will just send me someone else's problem.

Having trouble with clockwork mod any help is appriciated

Hello, I have been messing around with clockwork mod recently but I'm having some troubles I'll list them below. if anyone could help me that would be great!

Question 1. Not sure what file to use. I am using a galaxy s4 GGt-i9505 and when I try to install CWM from the app it says jfte and if i click phone not listed it says gt19505 not supported. I'm not sure if this is the correct file to use because I looked on the clockwork mod website and seen the manual install files and found the gt-i9505 files on there. So basically my question is for the galaxy s4 do I flash the jfte CWM file or the gt-i9505 file? If I Google search jfte it says it just another name for the galaxy s4 so I'm not sure.

Question 2.I have had an issue with system ui crashing when trying to install the jfte file through the app rather than through Odin and once it says installed and reboot phone i still don't have Clockwork recovery it still is the original recovery that came with the phone. How do I fix this?

Question 3. Every time I do a backup to my external SD card it puts the date of the backup as somewhere in the 1970s and puts the time to 11pm and then when I try to restore to the backup it says MD5 mismatch and tells me the location where it sent the recovery.log and I can't get any of my backups to restore without MD5 miss match Every time. Does anyone know a solution.

I Am rooted and I am running the latest version of lolipop. Is lolipop compatible with CWM?

Help thread. HTC one m8, Started having several issues !

Hi community,
I've been using my Htc one m8 (locked with Rogers) for a little over a year now with no issues. It's not rooted, running sense 6 android 5.0.1 for awhile.
All of a sudden several issues started creeping up: first double tap to wake up stopped working, and the shortcut to the camera (turning phone side ways and pressing volume down). Then the proximity sensor stopped working. later on i noticed that nfc wouldn't turn on and the phone didn't know if it was on landscape mode or portrait (making it an issue when viewing pictures or videos) and this were all in the lapse of 24hours.
so I factory reset it and it seemed to work for a couple of hours but then all the issues creeped back (NOT all at the same time). At this point I thought it was because of an app or my back up. SO factory reset it again and set up as new device but this time it didn't fix the issue at all .
After that I tried factory factory reset it a couple of more times with no success, tried having my phone fixed but I couldn't find a store in montreal that is willing to try and fix it (they all say if the open the phone they might wreak it ??!!)
Called htc they asking me to send the phone by mail for 100$ and then they'll tell me how much it cost to fix it.

As far as i know the phone didn't drop ! :( and has the latest updates

Can anyone help me? do you think flashin a rom will fix this or does it sound more like hardware issue?

I appreciate any help/tips you can give
thank you
