[Q] Cannot flash stock rom

Hi. I have a problem with Touch Pro 2. There is stock rom, never updated. But system is behaving very bad. Even touch works only when it wants (maybe physical damage, but I want to have new WM). But installation stops at 1% and phone reboots. Problem is that I have set a password on WM. There is a problem with touch in menu, so I can't remove it. May that be the problem that this secure makes flashing even stock roms impossible? I have no free SD, so only flash via RUU.

Have you tried a hard reset? I believe it's called "Clear Storage" from settings.
Or hold talk/send + power + vol down while the device is OFF.

I can't clear storage because touch is broken in menu. That's why I want to reinstall it.

Then do my other suggestion...

But it doesn't work. It boots into bootloader. Does it work for you?

Perhaps those weren't the right keypresses...
Try this:
A Hard Reset restores the device to its default settings — the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on the device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software and other pre-installed programs will remain.
There are 2 ways to perform a Hard Reset on this device:
Menu Path
Access the Settings Tab>All Settings>System>Clear Storage
Follow the onscreen instructions.
Keystroke Method
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN, TALK/SEND, and END/POWER buttons until you see this message on the screen.
2. This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press Vol Up to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
3. Release the VOLUME DOWN, TALK/SEND, and END/POWER buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to restore the operating system to the factory default configuration, press the VOLUME DOWN button to restore the factory default configuration and remove any operator customization, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

Ok, I will try this when I will heve access to it It's my friend's phone, I wanted to help. GR8 THX, I hope it will help.

Just want to change the ID to do mobile payments with Vodafone (The right ID in the one file in the System folder is required). I changed the entery with an editor and rebooted the Phone. Now the Phone is powerd on (I have set for long press volume up - toggle flashlight, and it works) But the systemui ist shut down, also blinkfeed and the phone process. With soft reboot, the HTC Logo appears. But i cant't force a factory reset or enter the Custom Recovery. Screen is black. Venom Rom 1.8.0.

Galaxy Note 3 Wont Boot

So I was watching a show on my tablet. and then the tablet just froze. I tried to reboot it. and the screen just stays stuck at the Samsung Load screen. I have Team Win Recovery installed on it. So I used the commands to get into it. and see if I could reboot and reset through there. But when I go to reboot it tells me my System has no OS do I still want to reboot, reset or whatever I try to do.
My PC isn't recognizing my device. So I can open it up at all. I did not have a SD card in my Tablet. but I do have one in my phone and it does fit into my Note III so I believe it should/would work for any steps I may need to do to help fix this problem. Any ideas or suggestions on how to deal with this?

I've seen this before...
...THIS MAY OR MAY NOT work (CAPS for emphasis only).
The way we solve that because the symptoms you are describing are often the result of a corrupted cache that effects that startup of processes in the background. Clearing the cache might help if the following doesn't work, but don't clear it first because going through this process sometimes requires that whatever data is in the cache remain undisturbed...
(Remember, Android is just a portable version of Linux).
Part 1 of 2 - Enter Safe Mode (ignore all other directions except for using the hardware keys to enter safe mode)
Safe mode
Turn on and use safe mode
Safe mode allows you to turn on the device with third-party apps disabled. Then you can easily remove all apps that may be causing a conflict or software problem.
To turn on safe mode and use it to fix app problems, follow these steps:
Turn on safe mode
Turn the device off.
Press and hold the Power key.
When 'GALAXY Note 3' appears on the screen, release the Power key. Immediately after releasing the Power key, press and hold the Volume down key.
Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.
'Safe mode' will display in the bottom left corner of the screen. Release the Volume down key when you see 'Safe Mode.'
Uninstall third party applications
Turn on Safe Mode.
From any Home screen, tap the Menu key.
Tap Settings.
Tap the General tab.
Tap Application manager.
If necessary, swipe right to the Downloaded screen.
Tap the desired application.
Tap Uninstall and then tap OK.
Turn off safe mode
To turn off safe mode, follow these steps:
Press and hold the Power key.
Tap Restart.
The same steps are located on the following URL for entering Safe Mode:
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-9049
Part 2 of 2 :
If you were successful in engaging Safe Mode, it is more than likely you will see an option screen come up that lists "TouchWiz" , KNOX (Possibly, and varies depending on your config and KNOW Counter Status {i.e. "0x0" or "0x1}, and TouchWiz Simple.
Please pick TouchWiz and DO NOT pick TouchWiz Simple.
Your Note 3 should then start without incident; however we would recommend you backup your data and reload your device with fresh installs as soon as possible.
Hope this helps.

The Tablet wont even boot up into Safe Mode. the Tablet doesnt boot at all. It just stays stuck at Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 screen.
I can use the hard keys to enter into Odin Mode and Team Win Recovery thats it.

Thanks for clarifying. Different steps will be required then. Be careful, and read the other two links carefully that are listed in order of importance to get your Note 3 back up and running:
[Step 1]
Hardware reset using Hardware Buttons ( You WILL LOSE ALL OF YOUR DATA {CAPS for emphasis only} )
Master reset with hardware keys
A master reset restores the original factory settings and may delete your personal data on the internal storage, such as downloaded content, ringtones, images, apps, and contacts. It does not delete data stored on the SIM card or SD card.
If the device menus are frozen or unresponsive, you can master reset using hardware keys. To perform a master reset, follow these steps:
Back up all data on the internal memory.
Turn off the device.
Press and hold the following three buttons at the same time:
Volume Up key
Home key
Power key.
When 'GALAXY Note 3' appears on the screen, release the Power key but continue to press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key.
When the Android System Recovery screen appears, release the Volume Up and Home keys.
Press the Volume down key to highlight 'wipe data / factory reset.'
Press Power button to select.
Press the Volume down key to highlight 'delete all user data.'
Press Power button to select and start the master reset. When the master reset is complete, 'Reboot system now' is highlighted.
Press the Power key to turn the restart the device.
Directions also featured on the following URL: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-9049
[Step 2]
Forget about ODIN and you can use Heimdall with the build of your choice provided it is supported by the BootLoader (i.e. KitKat BootLoader will not load JellyBean).
The instructions are in the following URL as are links to the appropriate software:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545009
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH A USB3 Cable. Instead use a USB2 cable because USB3 connections via the Note 3 have been known to not be the most stable, and you will receive much more reliable connectivity using USB2 that is essential to the reload process.
Hope this all helps, and please let us know how successful you were.

Remap power button

Hello,
Recently at my xperia m my power button was broken and I can't reboot it/enter the power menu(well actually I can with adb or other apps but I don't want that).
Is there a way I can remap the camera button to the power button(when I'm saying power button I mean the default sleep/wake and the long press menu from which you can shutdown/reboot your phone)? I searched at google too but I didn't find anything useful for xperia m.
My phone is rooted with cm 12.1
Hope you can help me.

Maybe with Xposed Additions?
I don't have Xposed though, so I can't try it for myself and therefore can't know for sure this has everything you need.
Anyone knows this for sure?

Well this is a little late but you never know.
My power button broke down to and my phone was off, with a rooted custom rom and twrp installed.
I got it booted by using fastboot. For this, only volume+ key needs to be working.
Once booted, I set display timeout to a large value, just to make things a little easier while working on it.
Then I used adb to reboot into recovery.
In recovery, I flashed Xposed.
Rebooted back into system.
Installed XPosed Additions Xposed module, enabled it and rebooted once again.
Then using XPosed additions, mapped to volume+ button to take on the functionality of the power button.
( short press while screen off = power, long press while screen on = power menu).
Seems to work perfectly. I'm not turning my phone completely off anywhere in the near future though, because
booting it back up would be through fastboot again I guess (just to boot, no to install everything once again).

Wow thanks, been using GEM Xperia xposed which reboots the phone when you use wake up with volume keys after a reboot.
EDIT: Help! It doesn't work, and seems complicated. How do you set it up?
EDIT2: it's pretty much activator on iOS. The power thing Works great for me, but I can't get the power menu to trigger... But I am glad to see the meda next and back working with Youtube backgriund playback

My map in xposed additions is as follows (my camera button is gone as well, so my options are very limited )
Volume up:
-Lock screen
--click : checkbox unticked
--long press: media next
-screen off
--click: power
--long press: media next
-screen on
--click: checkbox unticked
--long press: power menu
Volume down
-Lock screen
--click: checkbox unticked
--long press power
-screen off
--click: checkbox unticked
--long press media previous
And then another xposed module to lock my phone by double tapping status bar, which does not work in the lockscreen (therefor volume down-lockscreen-long press = power)
Running on StryFlexa Marshmallow rom

[solution]automatic restart on pressing power button

This is my first post
This is not a permanent solution . This is for those both users who are on stock and custom ROM
For custom ROM users:
To off the phone double tap on status bar it must be enabled by default
Go to settings .click on search and type wake up device and select and tick it
From now onwards you will be able to on the device by pressing volume button
For stock ROM users (no root)
Download app volume unlock power button from playstore
Enable it and you will be able to use volume button to unlock . it has no significant battery drain

For custom ROM user, a much better solution is to flash a custom kernel.. For example, Clarity.. It supports gesture wake like double tap to wake, swipe to wake/sleep..
