i have cyanogenmod 7.2 on my M290K, the sensors, bluetooth and wifi hot spot dont work, but the roms is functional otherwise. the screen will be inverted, but hold the phone upside down and disable sensors in cyanogenmod settings and your screen will be correct but no auto rotate. i posted the stock firmware in the thread for cm7.2 and asked about wifi and he said he will work on a patch for it.
but if you do not want cyanogenmod you can find the stock firmware at the end of the cm7 thread and flash it with odin, i posted it there forhim to use as a reference for the patch.
There are no support for now.

I dont know. He said he would work on it, but a lot of devs dont like it when we ask when it will be done. He said he will make it a couple days ago, so im going to wait a week more before asking again.

I'm trying to use odin to flash the stock rom on my M290K gio and I get boot loops after it gives the PASS! message. I was hoping it would at least format to rfs so I could restore my stock backup, but CWM for rfs+ext4 cant restore it. Can anyone help me?
edit- Okay I got odin to restore the stock rom but my back up still wont restore. I wish I knew the problem, but it says it cannot format /system.

If somebody want to root SHW-M290K I included that phone as well. And if is working I hope some of the devs will make some custom rom
Root SHW-M290K
My HTC One V is a PrimoC (CDMA) on Virgin Mobile, running Android 4.0.4, running JmzPrimoC+ Kernel, as the one provided in the download seemed to fail.
I have just installed the ROM maybe an hour ago, and decided to setup my WiFi in order to get most of my applications I have on my Play account back onto my phone. But once I went to enable the WiFi Manager, it did nothing but output "Turning on..." and then just went back to normal, like it was never enabled/attempted to be.
Would there be a possible solution for this? I'd love to know because I really depend on WiFi for my job, otherwise I'm going to find another ROM.
If you go to jmz's site, androidfiles, the link is in his kernel op, there is an ICS sense update package. It has flash able modules inside it. Sounds like you are missing that, and once you flash the zip and reboot into fast boot and flash the kernel, you should have WiFi. Sorry I'm on my phone I can't give you the link.

Alright, thanks for the help. I'll go ahead and check that out sometime later whenever I can flash 2 other ROMs to my ONe V's.
Just remember, if you go aosp based ICS ROM, use Simons super sick ICS. If you go jb ROM, use his supersick jb. I personally think the 12-30 kernel is the most stable so far.

- For android 4.3, there has been a lot of talk on the developer section, and from what I can see, the major bugs/issues have been fixed. Like the ROM not rebooting correctly. For those using 4.3, is this true?
- Also, from what I understand, this was due to the recoveries not being ready for 4.3, however CM released their own bare bone recovery to fix that issue. And then I've read that the TW recovery has also been updated to solve this problem.
-There is a lot of information in the development forums, but I have not seen any post on the steps on what to do in order to upgrade from 4.2 to 4.3.
-Right now I have CWM 5 recovery, because that's been working for me, and I never bothered changing (bad experience with trying to upgrade/change a recovery). Now from what I understand, I should be able to flash the newest touch recovery (via the goo app?), and then wipe and flash any 4.3 ROM. Any detail instructions would be a help, or if someone can create a tutorial post, that would be great.
Thanks in advance.
Here is a post I made yesterday about how I switched from 4.2 to 4.3
I hope it helps. I have been on hellybean 4.3 for two days and everything is running great.

You could just install ROM Manager and update from there. It's super-easy (you need ROOT, but I presume you have that since you're flashing ROMs anyway). :good:

Many people have had bad experiences with ROM Manager. Especially in the Gingerbread days when its use was more common for this sort of thing.
Just my 2 cents.

Interesting -- always been good to me, although I only use it to update the recovery; for the ROM itself I use Cyanogen's update util. I also use CWM, not TWRP, so there's that...

Ur best and safest approach would be to DL Odin and the drivers for ur phone, then go to techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hercules and DL twrp2.6.0.4, this is the 4.3 compatible version, then put ur device in DL mode and connect to odin, load the tar file in PDA and click start, 30 sec and u have the latest and greatest twrp recovery, now go get hellybean 4.3 or beanstalk4.3 and flash it, watch the beauty take place...

I updated my rom today like I usually do from the CMUpdater and it updated from 4.2 to 4.3. I didn't mean or want to do that, but it didn't tell me otherwise. Now I'm having issues left and right......the one time I don't back it up...grrr.
I'm having the most issues with Gapps. I downloaded the new one and installed it and Google Music and Youtube keeps crashing. I guess I'll be doing the full wipe now.
Did u update to 4 3 gapps? It won't do it automatically, even if u updated through goo it just looks at what version is installed and updates that version, 4.3 gapps can be found in any 4.3 thread

Are you running the latest recovery? 4.4 ROMs require the latest TWRP or CWM.

Hi XDA! I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N900T T-Mobile. I've had custom roms such as CM11 Nightly in the past. Well after trying to do a fresh install a while back of another custom rom, my phone at first had no OS because I wiped it like a doofus. So I flashed it back to stock, 4.3 at the time. And then starting a couple weeks ago I flashed CWM using CWM Manager app. That's when the same issue that's recurring over and over, began. My phone works great as long as I never reboot into recovery. If I reboot into recovery it gets stuck in a bootloop. However I noticed tonight after trying to reboot into recovery using goo manager, I noticed the last line when it first boots, then bootloops, says Set warranty bit-recovery. If I remember correctly shouldn't it say kernel?? I know this is my fault because I'm not as knowledgable as all of you (I'm still learning on my own). SO my question is this. I want to fix this once and for all because I can't ever flash a custom rom like Darthstalker (that's the one I'd like to flash)...after several failed attempts of flashing CM for example, to no avail. What can I do to fix this once and for all and be able to flash a kernel, and Darthstalker? I can get into download mode, needless to say. ANd all the other times it's bootlooped I flashed KitKat 4.4.2 and everything works fine until i try to reboot into recovery. I am at my witts end because this i I really want a custom rom instead of flashing only the md5. Would anyone please be willing to give me a tutorial of some kind? I know it's a lot to ask but I can't find another reliable source that can explain how to do all of this. You're the only site I trust and if anyone is willing to give mea tutorial via email , PM, etc. I'd be eternally grateful beyond belief. Thank you in advance for any advice or info
I posted a few days ago about my bootlooping in the recovery. I finally fixed it by these 3 steps.
1) Odin flashed Stock 4.4.2 complete as this sets the correct boot loader.
2) I downloaded Twrp 2.7.0 the one that list KitKat (Must say this) 4.4 version.
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/hltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
3) Right from Odin when flashing this you set it not to reboot, Once finished you then unplug the usb cable and pull the battery. Let is sit for about 10 sec. Then with the upVlm,Home and Power it will boot to the recovery. It first will post what you said but wait about 10 sec more twrp will come up.
4) Now you should be able to flash any rom you want. I am using axmans N3 for now works great. I will be trying CM 11 later.
5) make a backup once in Twrp
Hope this helps.

I'm honestly confused on what you are asking. What bootloader are you on . Jellybean or Kit Kat. That is the big part of the question. If you are on Kit Kat you can no longer run Darthstalker as it's a 4.3 rom. Just curious because you say that you flashed 4.4.2 rom and everything works. Also, the bootloop would either be your kernel or your recovery. I would suggest Philz or Twrp 2.7 as they are both updated and will work on either bootloader.
Once you have flashed a bootloader and custom recovery NEVER USE ODIN AGAIN UNLESS YOU HAVE BRICKED YOUR PHONE.

I'm on 4.4.2.I figured it is my kernel. After sending this message last night I had my phone in download mode but didn't do anything to it. I decided to turn it off and then on again and it booted. So if this is a kernel issue where would I find one and how would I do this? Oh and when the bootloop occurred last night I was trying to boot into recovery via too manager. If I put Twrp on my phone when I have CWM will they interfere? I apologize for the likely stupid questions but I'm just wanting to get it done properly. One last thing is PacMan ROM compatible?

The kernels you can use are listed in the general thread. A user posted a very good listing of what's what. TWRP 2.7 or Philz Touch are the 2 recoveries i would recommend using. Whichever one you decide will overwrite the other. you can never have 2 recoveries.
OK I'm sorry but I'm a little confused. One solution mentioned was to flash 4.4.2 stock using Odin. But you said not to use it unless I've bricked my phone. So now I'm lost. Lol. Do I flash the stock with the above mentioned method? Or do I flash a kernel and then a ROM? I apologize for my inexperienced questions. I'm including my device info below in hopes you can tell me the very first step I should take. Thank you for all your help!!!

You are already on the 4.4 bootloader so you can no longer use the Darthstalker rom, you can only use Kit Kat 4.4.2 and above roms from here on out. Next question would be have your rooted your phone since the update and have a custom recovery. If you have not rooted, then you will need to use Odin to run the CF_Autoroot, but that will trip your Knox to 0x1. Thus voiding your warranty.
Yes I rooted. But every time I try flashing CWM or Twrp it bootloops. And to get out of bootloop I have to boot in download and then cancel download and it reboots normal again. Is this a kernel or boot loader issue?

oh sorry for the late response. Just got back from boy scouts. Anyway. No you don't need to flash back to stock, Your just flashing the wrong version of TWRP. You can go to the android originial development thread and download the TWRP 2.7 and flash via recovery and you will be all good to go. Also, download the latest Wootever kernel just to make sure you have both angles covered. Both downloads are found in the same section.
Ok thanks so much. Im a little scared to flash in TWRP as it always puts me in bootloops. I did download philz and I was considering flashing that via Odin as I can't boot into recovery. Would that be the next best thing to do? Oh and dont apologize!! I can't thank you enough!

Yes, odin the custom recovery and you should have no more issues. As for the bootloops with TWRP, you only had issues with that, because the version you were trying to use was outdated and does not work on Kit Kat
Hmm found an interesting possible solution and would greatly appreciate your guidance. I found a ROM that supports KK and I think in this thread that it may indicate why I bootloop when trying to bootbin recovery. http://www.infamousdevelopment.com/...-recover-from-a-bad-flash-updated-for-kitkat/
I'm seriously considering following this whole tutorial of his to the letter. Would it be wise to do?

You have already upgraded to Kit Kat, that part is done. and you ran CF_Autoroot correct in Odin correct? If you have done both steps all that is left is to Odin the Philz Touch Recovery that you downloaded.
Ok and yes I did both the first two steps you asked above. After I do flash philz can I flash a ROM it CM or PacMan as long ad they're 4.4.2?

As long as they are AOSP Roms that support both bootloaders yes, and as i've been told most if not all the AOSP Roms do support the Kit Kat bootloader that you are already on.
Ok thank you again. I will likely flash philz tonight (if hubby allows me to cuz I usually stay up all night til I got my phone the way I want it, ie no boot loops lol) I will report back to let you know if it works. This phone has been through hell and back with me but I've learned a lot!! Especially from contributors such as yourself. :thumbup:
