Develop Bugs

No OS, just TWRP v2.2

I accidently deleted my back-up and now I'm left with TWRP 2.2 and everytime I try to install a tom it fails halfway through. So I looked and most say ignore and wipe Dalvik cache, so I do. Reboot, then it just boots to TWRP.
Kindle Fire Utility will not detect my Fire either.
I'm at a loss, please help.. :\

In twrp go to mount and then mount the drive. Then download a rom from the development section and transfer it to your kindle. Then flash the rom.

Do a factory reset again and then flash.

I followed your instructions explicitly and they were to no avail, as they relinquished the same results in my latter post.

I've been inactive here over the last month, but from what I've seen the over last couple of days, it seems there's a new version of TWRP (2.2.0? am I seeing this correctly?) that is causing problems. Try an earlier version.

I had first tried 2.0 then updated to 2.2.

Then I would say, since you know you can restore from a backup, try requesting one (minus personal data of course) from someone and see if you can restore from it.
It's very strange some of the things going on lately. I'd hate to think Amazon's hardware has something to do with it, although, I wouldn't put it past them.

Any idea where I'd look for a back-up?
The idea has merit, I just googled it and nothing came up.
maybe you'd volunteer to send me a back up?
Thanks

I was thinking more direct upload but since your not here that's kinda difficult lol yea restoring a borrowed backup is probably your best bet once you have a working system replacing twrp would probably be a good idea I have a simple solution for that that really doesn't require much just placing a folder on your SD card and using file browser to run a script... but I really can tell you whether this will remedy your problem if it still exists it could be more than meets the eye..

Maybe your just doing it wrong.
1. Factory reset
2. Wipe cache
3. Wipe dalvik
4. Wipe system
5. Flash rom zip (in zip form)
6. Flash gapps zip (in zip form)
7. Reboot then system if prompted....
If your doing all this and it fails make sure you have zip signature verification and md5 verification unchecked, still failing sounds like a twrp problem..
Also twrp should be throwing you some errors would be nice to know what they are?

The restore was successful. I am now stuck in a boot loop with TWRP.
And I still cannot get KFU to recognize my Fire either.

Install a newer version of TWRP (2.1.1 or greater). Reboot to system does not work properly in earlier versions. Otherwise, use "adb shell idme bootmode 4000" to set the bootmode to normal manually. If you are unfamiliar with adb/fastboot, read this guide...

The third post has explanations of adb/fastboot commands and how to use them, but the entire guide will probably be useful to you.

No matter what I do, I cannot get my computer to recognize my Kindle. In device manager it says it is there with a yellow triangle, so I click update it doesn't work, I check my Android SDK downloader and it says I have the drivers downloaded so I manually searched for them in the extras folder in the sdk folder, still no go. I get an error. I am now at ends I have no idea what to do, and it is very aggravating to say the least.
Thanks for your help guys!

Instead of letting it boot by itself manually select normal boot in the boot menu if that doesn't work rewipe restore the backup again this time skip the dalvik and cache wipe after the restore...

My computer can't find my kindle fire and it's mounted on twrp

make sure there are no checks in the boxes of system and data then hit the big button that says mount..... the only things that should have checks in them are sdcard and cache...

Yes they are but the computer wont find it. Do you know how to get the computer to find the kindle via adb?

if you cant mount your sdcard there is more at play than meets the eye look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877567

[Q] Universal 2.3 Rom problems

So I've followed all the steps from QBKing77. I:
1) rooted my phone
2) put FI03 on it
3) put agat on it
4) put both files (the rom itself and the caulkin file)
but every time I install the rom, my phone boots up normally, then goes into Kuban (I think thats how you spell it) recovery. What could be the problem?!
If anyone knows the answer, I would greatly appreciate an answer

Why don't you just root, download clockwork mod from play store, go to a gingerbread rom. Make sure you have a clean download (downloaded through pc or wifi) of the rom you want to use and follow the op instruction which is usually, going into recovery, formatting cache, dalvik, and factory reset then flash desired ROM.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

Kuban recovery is what is built into that ROM.
Flash ROM
Then reboot
make sure all is OK.
boot to recovery then install Agat's kernel if you wish.
Both Agat's 5.4 andd rujelus22's kernels are built from source.
Seriously, take some time and read through the forum's for ROMs, Q&A etc. You will find the answers you are looking for and quite possibly save yourself from making an expensive paper weight.

[Q] Heimdall root didn't work, now stuck.

I've got a Virgin Mobile Samsung S II.
I followed this guide to root my phone on my macbook. Following it exactly gave me this error message in terminal: ERROR: Partition "kernel" does not exist in the specified PIT.
After thorough reading of the old root guide thread, I thought it was a case sensitivity issue since I was using a newer version of Heimdall. In terminal, I entered: heimdall flash --KERNEL zImage to start the process rather than all lowercase "kernel."
Now my phone won't boot beyond the startup screen that says "Samsung GALAXY S II" with a yellow error triangle. Can anyone please help? I know very little about these things, so the simpler the answers, the better -- any and all would be greatly appreciated.
If it's helpful, here is what the terminal screen displayed:

@monsieurblue ......can you boot to recovery/did you put a recovery on the device.. if you did and can get there, try to wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot.. if that doesn't work.. I would try flashing a rom.. maybe you wiped it off when in heimdall.. Just my thoughts..

I can boot to ClockWork Mod Recovery. Which I believe means that something took, because that's not something that would be on the phone otherwise, right? I tried using it to wipe the cache and dalavik cache, but it didn't work.
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but how can I flash a ROM? If I can only load the download and CWM screens, is there still a way to get a ROM onto the phone to flash it?
Thanks for the reply!

@monsieurblue .. might be that kernel you flashed isn't compatible with the rom you're running. Try a different kernel that you now is compatible.

OK. Maybe the problem is that I'm not running a ROM right now? I was on the stock 4.1 that came on the phone when I bought it before this process. Now that I'm done this kernel thing, do I need to flash a ROM before the phone will boot up?
I can mount the phone with CWM to add/remove files from my computer. Can I add a .zip of a rom to install that way?

Because you now have a custom recovery ( I think ) you can use adb or something to get a rom on the phone.. I'm not sure as I've never looked into it, but I will.. hang tight. Also I think you can use heimdall to flash a rom.. right.

Yep.. that's what I thought.. just make sure you flash the rom correctly. A lot of the roms require you to flash from el26 or el29 direct boot kernel's. Since you can't boot, el29 is out. But you can put the rom of choice and gapps and el26 kernel on sdcard. Then wipe data, cache, dalvik. Then flash el26.after the flash go to advanced and pick reboot recovery. This will boot you back to recovery but the el26 recovery. Then flash rom.. then flash gapps.. you might want to wipe data, cache, dalvik again to be sure. You can also go to mount and format system.. only system... this will ensure a super clean flash..

This is incredibly helpful; thank you so much.
I'm sorry for the ignorance, but can you explain to me what el26 is, and what ROM I should flash? When I started this process, I wanted to install this one, but there are warnings saying not to install on a Jelly Bean Modem and I don't know what else to use or how to install on a different modem.
And just to make sure I understand, when you say "flash" el26, that means it's a .zip that will be on my sdcard, which I install by using the "install zip from sdcard" option on CWM, right?
Thanks again!

Ok.. I can't find a zip file for el26 or el29..you can go about this by getting one of these recoveries. They are in rwilco's repo..el26 is at the top of the page.. don't get a stock one.. lol. As it will have stock recovery. Get the. Tar version of the file and use heimdall to flash it and then proceed with flashing rom, gapps.. but I don't know how heimdall works, I'm a windows man. Or you could flash a rom with heimdall.. Or yet another way is to try to flash the rom from that recovery you have.. I'm not sure about it.. if I was you I would download the tar el26 kernel and a JB rom based on touchwiz from Android development thread and the gapps.. put the rom and gapps on sdcard. Then figure out a way to flash the tar el26 with heimdall..
Yes.. flash means install... and the modem thing is because CM/AOSP/AOKP roms need an ICS modem to get data working. That why I suggested the JB touchwiz rom.. it will work with the modem you have. I'm assuming it's gb27modem(jb modem)..

Cool! So I download the el26 .zip and put that onto my sdcard, then flashed it. Now, what ROM and Gapps should I put on there as well before following the rest of your plan and booting the whole thing up? My intention was to install something with Jelly Bean 4.2.2, but now that I'm all turned around, I'm not sure what the best ROM for that is.

@monsieurblue ..
After you have the kernel on you sdcard(not in a folder). And you have the rom/gapps you want.... wipe cache and dalvik cache(under advanced). Then click install from sdcard. Pick install from internel.. just thought you might have been able to put it on ext.sdcard.Anyway,go to el26 zip file and install. After install is done. Go to advanced and pick reboot recovery and phone will boot to the el26 recovery(you might have to push volume up.. volume down.. volume up) to get you're power button to work as the select button. It's like that on el29..
Now wipe data, cache, dalvik.. then flash rom. After it's done flash the gapps the rom op thread suggested. If all goes well after this.. you can reboot..
I think this will get ya home.. Let me know.

Ha, it's no problem! I'm just glad for the help. I think I've got the hang of what to do once I've got the ROM/Gapps picked out, I just don't know which one to pick out. Which do you mean when you say the ones OP thread suggested? The "Liquid Smooth" one I linked to in my thread starter is what I want, but since I haven't changed my modem, I think it will harm the phone (it says in the instructions not to install on a Jelly Bean modem, which is what I believe I have right now).
Just saw your recommendation for project X and paradoX -- I'll check them out now, thanks!

If you dead set on 4.2.2...I love slimbean4.2...4.3 has no 4g. Also you will need slimgapps for slimbean as it boots at 182 dpi for the screen size. You can also use the lz kernel in the slimbean thread.. But I would stick to touchwiz until you get you're feet wet,, lol..Because flashing slim or other cm/aosp/aokp roms will require the ICS modem flash and then a temp boot flash to update you prl and profile.. You can boot a tw rom tonight then tomorrow get mobile Odin and flash an ICS modem(FL24 is the newest)then update prl and profile. After this you could use el29 direct boot kernel to flash any cm/aosp/aokp rom you want.. and have data.. wheww.. lol. Let me know if you need a guide for mobile Odin. I wrote a little one up here in q and a.. awhile back.

That's cool.. flash it tomorrow. After we get ya back up.. and about the op.. sometimes rom Devs will suggest you flash a certain gapps pkg.
FYI.. it won't hurt you're phone.. you just won't have data.. also you know you will have to change you're APN settings to get mms working.. unless you're on sprint.. I'm a boost boy.
You could flash the one you want. Then get an ICS modem and flash it in recovery.. wipe cache/dalvik..flash modem.. reboot. But you're signal might be buggy without the prl update.. and you can't update prl's from cm/aosp/aokp roms.. as of yet..

This is incredible, it worked! Thank you so much!
My concern now is getting to a ROM that I like -- this Project X one is good as a temporary measure, but I really want something that's 4.2.2 and highly customizable (and, most importantly, able to be installed from a mac).

@Gil81
Last question, I promise! To install Slimbean 4.2, which you recommended, it looks like I can follow this guide. Only problem is the Odin One-Click ICS Root: I can't follow those instructions because they're exclusive to Windows and I'm on a Mac. Any idea on how to install Slimbean 4.2 onto my device from where I am now? And do I need to change the modem, like you mentioned earlier?

alright...youre back up...good job man...:good:
ALWAYS...I MEAN...ALWAYS FOLLOW THE INSTALL DIRECTIONS IN THE ROM'S THREAD...:fingers-crossed:..
That being said..now that youre up and running follow the guide i linked to in the above post...its a mobile odin guide for flashing roms on our phone..it will work will almost all roms. it is how i have flashed every rom but a couple one-clicks..
BUT BEFORE YOU GO TO THAT LINK....download fl24 or another ics modem and flash it in recovery on the rom you have now..after the flash and you reboot back to the rom..update the prl and profile. just remember after you do this you wont have data....but it is the right modem for slimbean or the rom you really wanted..FYI..the mobile odin guide will work for that rom you first wanted...just follow the links in it and the directions to the letter...it is a proven way to flash...
Dont worry about the ics one-click...i never have any problems..if you do. you can always go back and just completely wipe youre phone and sdcard. then use heimdall to flash the rom.. the one click just clean slates youre phone and changes the partitions...i believe heimdall would do the same if you where to use it to flash..but i think youll be fine..

Awesome, I'm going to follow this exactly later tonight! Thanks again for all of the help!
In the guide you linked to, you say:
First...you will need to get all the needed files( ROM, Gapps( for the rom you pick ),EL29 direct boot kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1662295 ..this is the link to rwilcos repo..scroll down to gb-touch wiz based kernels. Then look for EL 29 direct boot/tar.. You will need the tar.md5 format. Place this tar and the ROM and Gapps on the root of you're internal sdcard( not in a folder ).

Would I be using the JB Touch-Wiz Based Kernel or the GB Touch-Wiz Based Kernel if I'm using a Slimbean 4.2.2 ROM?

when you follow thw link...it will take you to rwilco's repo.. Scroll down the page (almost to the bottom of the kernel listings)and you will see a link for the el29 direct boot kernel..get the tar version because you will be using mobile odin..The el29 direct boot kernel is a safe gingerbread kernel we use to flash roms(it will not boot up on the rom youre flashing)..
you see..we just use that kernel and recovery to flash...once you flash the rom it will install the kernel made to run with that rom. Our recovery is funny on this phone...it is part of the kernel,thats why we use that kernel to flash..it is safe and has a safe recovery..
I just prefer el29 direct boot ( instead of el26 ) because when you flash it with mobile odin it will boot straight to recovery for you...no pulling the battery and then putting it back in and holding power button and volume up to get to recovery..:laugh:..
remember to get the slim gapps for 4.2...and after you get slim bean booted up and let it settle in for a few hours...you can flash the lighning kernel for slimbean linked in the slimbean thread...to flash it you just boot to recovery...wipe cache and dalvik and install it..then reboot..:good:...it is really the only tweak i run with slimbean..great battery life..
if you need any help...dont hesitate to ask...thats what xda is all about...Good Luck.

Here is the link to the lz kernel... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270358 ...
Just scroll down until you see ( smdk 4412 p_4 zip ) Thats the one you want...
FYI...some people reported a boot loop on this kernel if you wiped cache or dalvik...I never had the issue, but its out there...
I also seen a new kernel thread in the original development thread...blasphamy kernel..i think.. You could also try it..Just remember to make a backup before going flashy crazy..so if things go side ways,you can get back to where you sarted...

I've hit a roadblock! I was following this list I made based on your instructions:
MODEM
1. Add FL24.zip to sdcard and flash in recovery.
2. Reboot.
3. Update the PRL and profile.
ROM
1. Place ROM, Gapps, and EL29 boot kernel on the sdcard.
2. Open mobile odin > kernel > internal sdcard > EL29 direct boot kernel > flash firmware > check md5 > flash
3. Once in recovery, push volume up, volume down, volume up (this will make the power button the enter button)
4. Wipe data
5. Wipe cache
6. Wipe dalvik cache
7. Mounts/storage > format system (only system)
8. Install from internal sdcard > ROM zip file
9. Install from internal sdcard > Gapps
10. Reboot
I finished step 2 on ROM, then the system restarted and the phone didn't boot past the "Samsung GALAXY SII" screen. When I hold the power and volume up buttons to get into recovery, it goes into a recovery screen that says "Android system recover <3e>" at the top. I have four options:
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I wiped the data and cache based on your instructions, but there's no option to wipe the davlik cache, and when I go to "apply update from sdcard" it says: E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)
Help!

That's because you got the el29 kernel...not the el29 direct boot kernel....you just flashed a stock kernel that will not boot with anything but a gingerbread rom...
i think i warned you about that...now you will need to heimdall a recovery back on to the phone...

Does SuperSU v2.17 beta work with aosp lollipop?

Hey... Can I flash this zip to multirom without having to do all of the keep recovery stuff?? Thanks, and looking forward to trying this!

bootloader deb lollipop
Is the flo bootloader suitable also for deb version of nexus 7?
EDIT: yes, it's compatible

tested on deb
Working great on deb so far.
Only problems I have is not being able to install Google Plus and some GPS/location reporting issues (apps like Maps and Earth etc, cant get location info, but when I load a GPS Toolbox, it says GPS is working. Therefore there seems to be an issue with location reporting in general, as apps such as Maps and Earth would still be able to get location from WiFi/Cellular connections, but it doesn't seem to be able to (has to have GPS signal).

anyone able to get Google+ to work?
Everything working great so far - except the Play store is saying Google+ isn't compatible... anyone figure out a workaround?

What "radio.img" did you use?

Newer Gapps not working.
@scrosler OP, or anyone, do you have the stated gapps zip from 11/5 stored? The version on basketbuild was updated to 11/6 and I believe that is whats causing google services to be "unsupported" currently while using this ROM.

I can't access my storage after flashing. I am using es file explorer, I can see that sdcard 15/32gb however I can't see anything inside.

Uploading build 2
Any chance of uploading build 2 again? None of gapps worked for me with build 4.
I'm unable to get Google Play Services to work.

The battery drain bug from google ?

So oddly enough, it seems I didn't have the same luck as everyone else here.
I upgraded my bootloader, verified it, used TWRP 2.8.0.1 to flash, and then flashed GAPPs without leaving recovery, and somehow, I wasn't able to turn on Wifi. Then I discovered that my recovery was overwritten by stock recovery as well. Any ideas why? I flashed the latest Build 4 for the Flo (Yes, I have a Flo and not a Deb).

Same here. Had to boot into twrp, permanently flash the custom recovery then flash the ROM again.
Now everything seems fine. WiFi works fine too

Did you dirty flash or clean flash when you did this? Because I just reflashed Recovery, wiped completely (including system) and reflashed, and again I'm having the same problems.

Help! Wiped my os

Hey guys:
My device was running slow. So I was gonna wipe and reinstall apps. But when I wiped I forgot checked system. So now I have no oOS on my note 4. I was running stock but rooted.
I have a twrp backup of my phone. But I copied it from my internal memory to my external SD and I didnt copy the outer folder (Twrp -Backups - 840c (blah blah) - knancn (blahh) ). I didnt copy the "840c " folder. I just copied over the folder inside of it "knancn". So twrp wont read the file on my external sd.
Is there anyway to restore using the twrp file or is there a stock-rooted flashable rom around?
Thanks

Just flash the stock tar and then flash the auto-root.
---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------
If you have twrp installed, download and flash tx's ROM from recovery. That is stock rooted.

Tx has a stock rooted ROM that is very stable...

thanks guys. Trying now

This worked! Thanks guys
