android write protection and flashing roms

alright guys i know you need root to flash roms and if your like me with the droid turbo xt1254 running 5.1 well your SOL on root for now and verizon has our bootloaders locked so i was thinking when you update it verifies motorolas signature on the update so with that being there we cant flash w/o root even then mofo root only did so much for the 4.4.4 users that paid not beeing able to disable the write protection so could we some how get motorolas signature from and OTA zip and put that on or into an img or in a ROM and bypass it this way thus not needing root idk this idea has been in my head for a bit and id love to see what you guys think until then i will keep tryin on this god forsaken update

XT1039 No SIM Error after flashing any ROM with installed LolliPop OTA Update

Hi,

i want try some newer ROMs but after flashing any rom with or without a full wipe i got the no sim error. At the moment I have Beetos ROM from the 07.07 installed, which works without any errors.
I've made the OTA LolliPop Update several month ago, so flashing the radio file shouldn't be necessary.

Do I have to do anything else?

with best regards,

ACorrente

Will flashing the stock ROM reset the Samsung KNOX counter?

Hey!
I currently own a Samsung GALAXY Note 4 - SM - N910C which I purchased around 4 months ago. I'm no noob to the whole world of rooting and flashing custom ROMs having owned a GALAXY S3 (I9300) which I played around with for a while with custom ROMs and kernels.

However, I'm very hesitant to root my Note 4 because I've heard that there is no way to reset the KNOX counter. I'm still in my warranty period, so yeah..
I do have the Android 5.0.1 official firmware for the Note 4 which I downloaded through SamMobile. So I was just wondering if I rooted my Note 4 now and flashed the official firmware if I ever need to claim my warranty, will that reset the KNOX counter?

Thanks!

Can flashing the wrong System App in TI HARD brick your phone

or cause problems (ie missing sim card) even after a factory reset of custom ROM?

Restoring backup after flashing a custom rom

Hello im using an SGS5 and i am planning to flash the cleanROM rom to my device.
Now i was told that after i flash the rom my device will be wiped though i was thinking is it possible to first backup the device and after that flashing the rom wiping every thing and then restoring the backup (twrp backup).
Im using as i said befor the SGS5 running kitkat 4.4.2.
And it will be nice if somone can give me a link to where i can dowbload or even give me ideas for other ROMS that can make my device faster and have better battery life thank you for your help and have a great day.

[Q] Constant LED flashing blue and green after bloatware removal

Hi All

I recently decided to remove as much bloatware as I could from my G3 according to http://forum.xda-developers.com/newt...wthread&f=3149

My phone is rooted and I used Root Explorer to remove those damn bloaty appys

The problem I have now is that my LED constantly flashes blue and green. Funny thing is that I have gone into Settings > Display > Notification LED and turned this off and on without luck. Currently it is turned off and they LED is still flashing

Tried another route which was to install Light Manager to control the LED and no dice. Now I get a notification saying 'Tap to configure app notification and icon' and despite enabling it still doesnt work.

It seems something is causing the LED to constantly flash but I cant see it as an APK or a wakelock.

Trawled the web without much luck so looking for the XDA guys and gals to help !

Bricked D802 after flashing .kdz (wrong kdz)

Hello,
So i decided to go @ stock, and used lg flash tool to flash d802 .kdz, but i downloaded the wrong one (europe version, mine is Singapour).
So now my phone is bricked i think, it shows either black screen, or backlight with screen artfacts.
On device manager i see only "GENERIC MTP USB", and if i try to go on download mode (nothing is displayed, only black screen), i see LGE android phone.

So at what level is it bricked ? and what are my options.

Thank you

WIFI not working after flashing custom rom

So far I have tried:
ace2nutzer: cm-11-20150714-UNOFFICIAL-codina.zip
ChronoMonochrome: cm-11-20150730-UNOFFICIAL-codina-universal.zip
MIUI6_5.7.26_I8160.zip
vanir_codina_4.4.4.092615.zip
CyanogenMod12.1_I8160_0920.zip

The wifi is not working. I was not able to connect to my D-Link 868L router. I notice that the mac address of the wifi adapter is now 00:00:00:00. Btw, to check that my phone's wifi was still working, I flashed back the stock rom and it could work.

How can I resolve this? Would appreciate some help.

Lenovo a7-50 a3500 won't turn on after unplugging while flashing ROM

Please help! What do I do now? :crying:

Flashtool: 'Error flashing. Aborted' with no other error message.

Hi everyone.
I'm really confused about this. I'm trying to downgrade the firmware on my Z3c to then go on and root but I'm stuck at the very beginning.

I installed Flashtool and the drivers (had to deactivate driver signature verification for them to install correctly, but now all of them are installed). I installed the Sony PC companion with the support zone addon (not sure it makes a difference).
I downloaded the firmware from 2 different sources.
Developer options and usb debugging are on.
I charged the phone.
I tried with the latest Flashtool version anb the previous one.

But all the times I get the following error message. It basically starts printing out stuff and after a few seconds it says error, aborted. There is no other error message and this really drives me crazy because I have no idea what's wrong. Searching online results in people asking for help when there is at least another error message.
In this case there is nothing.

In the log below, note the time for every message. In the phone nothing changed, it still boots up normally with the 5.1.1 Sony firmware.
I even tried to change the usb cable but it's always the same.

It would be great if some of you were able to pinpoint the source of this problem. I've had and loved this phone for the last few months and I finally decided to root it, but being stuck at the very beginning I'm kind of disappointed at the process.

Thanks

Not booting flashing gapps

I've solved the problem when boot direct to recovery but now when I try to flash a custom ROM with gapps the phone turns on and after the bootanimation like 10s at the setup wizard it just reboots itself and keeps doing that... I've tried tk gapps(9-27 and 9-13) and open gapps 9-29... If I flash only the ROM and SuperSU it does boot and works great... I don't know what else to try :(

[Help] Phone unresponsive after flashing backup file

Hi, I made a really big mess. After perusing through the threads, I read that you had to be on bootstack 39a to flash lollipop. I was on 24a, 4.4.2. I booted to recovery and backed up my system then flashed bootstack 39a and wiped cache. Sadly I am now getting secure booting error cause boot certification verify.

Update: I was able to get to recovery and was able to flash my backup file. However, while flashing the backup the screen suddenly died. I left it alone for a few minutes, now however it is unresponsive and wont event light up when plugged for charging. Help.. Thank you in advance.

Note 2 N7105 doesn't reboot after flashing to stock 4.4.2

Dear all,

I just have a serious problem with my Note 2 N7105. I bought this phone with a rooted 4.3 androit and everything worked fine beside using the automatic update function (over the air update of android).
Therefore I downloaded the german 4.4.2 from Sammobile and flashed it with odin.
sammobile.com/firmwares/download/32565/N7105XXUFNE3_N7105DBTFNE1_DBT

Odin flashed completely with any errors . -> All threads completed. (succeeded: 1 / fail: 0)

But unfortunately it is not rebooting to androit nor reboot into recovery mode. After turning on the phone, I can see the samsung logo and after that it tried to boot and a red exclamation mark pops up and it's restarting again. The only possible thing is to get into the download mode again.
I also downloaded the german 4.3 version from sammobile and flased it with odin - but results stay the same.

I would be very happy about any help. Sorry in advance for my unprofessional explanation.

Question regarding flashing of CWM Advanced Edition PhilZ Touch (6.43.8) recovery.

MY PROBLEM : When i wipe the dalvik cache before flashing a new rom, the following message shows "E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]", and i always get stuck in bootloop. So i have to reflash cwm(6.0.4.5)via odin. Even after reflashing, when i go in the recovery and again clear the dalvik, i get the same message ,and again,the device gets stuck in bootloop. So this means that everytime i have to flash a ROM , i will have to reflash the cwm via odin,because of the above mentioned error. I have got the following questions :
1) How can this issue be fixed? (I searched the q&a and the fix for the bootloop was given that reflash the cwm, but that didnt fix the E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext] error)
2) Will flashing the latest philz recovery fix this error E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]??
3) If i flash the latest recovery by philz, will the nandroid backup of my stock rom made from my old cwm recovery 6.0.4.5 work with the philz recovery, or will i have to first restore the stock rom via cwm(6.0.4.5), update the cwm by flashing the philz recovery,then make a nandroid backup of my stock rom via the philz recovery?

I have failed at flashing

Yes, another one of these threads, but I need some help.

I got the bootloader unlocked, flashed twrp into recovery using fastboot. Unfortunantly the device rebooted into stock which I'm reading got rid of twrp. One problem is I can't figure out how to get twrp on there, and to stay on there, so I can use it.

Ignoring this issue I just continued. The guide simply said flash cm11. I searched around for a little bit on how to do this with fastboot (since my twrp wasnt working), but ended up doing the stupid thing of running:
fastboot flash system cm-11-20141115-SNAPSHOT-M12-ghost.zip

I know my problem is that I flashed the system with just a zip update file. I should've performed an update.

But now I can't figure out how to find the stock system image for my phone, the actual img file, so I can flash the system again. I have a sprint moto x.

Thanks for any help!
