[GUIDE] To Asking Questions! (Have a problem? Start Here!)

How to Ask Questions!​
If your messing with your phone, eventually you will have a problem you cant solve on your own. We have all been there, its just part of modding your phone. but if you give some time and a little patience, most of the time its easy to get fixed.
FIRST: SEARCH!!!​​This means try searching a thread if its too long, or searching the entire G2X Section of the forum. (and we can tell if you really searched or if you just say you did to get rid of the people yelling at you) If you see nothing that relates to you, or you have tried all of that, then you can make a post, BUT FIRST...
Stuff to Try Before Posting:​​So... your having a problem with your phone... well there are a few things you can do to help fix most issues:
Go into CWM and clear Cache
try this first, it really does help solve most issues from within a rom
Make a Nandroid Backup and clear data
just do this as a test, make a backup and clear data. check to see if the problem still exists, if it fixes it then its something you installed/did to the rom that caused the problem.
if not then...
Try flashing a new ROM
even if you don't like it, even if you can never go back to gingerbread after ICS just try it to see if it fixes your problem. If it does then you can decide if ICS is worth the issue your having.
Clear App data/Reinstall App
If you having an issue related to a specific app, try going into settings and clearing that app's cache and data. if the issue still exists try uninstalling it then reinstalling it after a reboot.
If none of these things helped you, then its time to make a post.
Things to Include in your post:​​If your having an issue, many of us are willing to help to get it resolved, but first, you need to give us some useful information.
A good checklist to include in your post is the following:
Current Rom
Current kernel
If you have done ANY undervolting or overclocking.
If you had this problem before (either on other ROM's or previously on your current ROM)
If you wiped Cache
If you wiped Data
If you tried installing another ROM
Any other things you already tried (BE SPECIFIC!)
the more you include in the first post the better, too much information is MUCH better than not enough.
If you think the issue is related to a specific ROM, try posting in that ROM's thread in the development section, but please don't spend too much time there. If nobody can find a simple fix, move your discussion to a new thread in the Q and A section, don't clog up the Developer's thread with a single issue.
Once again, the more information you give us the better, and if you don't post the above, someone will most likely ask you those questions, or tell you to do those things first (or they just might ignore the question).
If you see any typos, or think of anything i could add or improve on please let me know.

I have the same problem and I can't find any way to fix it I am going to post a new thread about the problem.

Hi all...
I was watching, reading and was excited about cm 14.1 for my LG g2 which was running on lollypop.
What a mess I created for myself. Will explain step by step. I I would be thankful if anyone can teach me get out with it and back to LG rom lollypop.
1. I rooted my phone with one click tool.
2. Then I installed Twrp through play store app.
3. Download cm 14.1 for lg g2. The as well as open gaps.
4. Next thing I did rebooted to twrp recovery and clean it after taking back up. But was not able to flash cm 14.1. Also loaded gapps7. 1.
5. After so many trials nothing happened I even updated twrp to 2.8
6. Then I found twrp 3.0 and tried to flash it.
7. Suddenly my phone came to a stage Fastboot.
8. My computer stopped detecting it.
9. Then I re plugged it into the USB of my computer.
10. I found the partitions are there. But no system is there.
11. Even I don't know to sideload it.
12. Lg flash tool is not able to flash it.
I request if someone know the way to flash it with lg roam. I L be thankful.
Can anyone email me steps to do to get out of it.
My email is [email protected]
Thanks

This isn't the LG G2 forum.

identify problem?

i have a samsung captivate i897.
i bought it sim free and unlocked from the states but i'm in the UK.
i recieved it already rooted running cyanogen mod and miui and have had it for 8 months. its worked perfectly the whole time.
until the past month i'd say its been radomly forcing closs on nearly everything.
i havent installed any new software or roms or anything or even dl any new apps so i cant figure out what would be causing the problem.
i tried checking for updateds on the muiu and it runs android 2.3.7
i'm not a tech person at all so i spoke to one of the tech guys at my local phone shop and he said i should try a factory reset.
so i guess i'm asking a few questions here:
1) does anyone have any idea what might be up with my phone?
2) can someone elplain to me the easiest/safest way to fix it?
please bear it mind i am a total noob at this tech stuff. i'll try to understand and cooperate as much as i can with those so kind to help me, but i'd really appreciate if people would help/point me in the right direction instead of giving me a short blunt answer which assumes i know all this tech stuff then locking my thread.

If it's already rooted & running a custom ROM, then you probably already have a custom recovery installed (probably clockworkmod). 1st thing would be to boot into recovery & do a backup. Then, you can try flashing any ROMs you want / factory reset / whatever, and restore your backup if you don't like the results.

how do i know if i have clockwork mod installed (i've never seen it before, but then again if its on the boot menu where i've not been before)
for booting into recovery i just long press the power button (at least it works like this on my phone) > reboot > recovery > ok
then what should happen after i press "ok" ?
also just to state (if it helps) the options i get for rebooting are: normal, hot boot, bootloader & recovery.
i dont really feel confident to be flashing roms (mainly because i dont really know how/which are stable etc) on the other hand i do need to fix it. guess i'd like to try the factory reset first though..... under the assumption its slightly easier.
i thought factory reset would restore the phone back to stock settings? but the guy in the phone shop said it wouldnt? (not sure how reliable he is ;] )

found this thread here which seems kinda similar
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264177&page=3
have tried uninstalling some apps to see if it helps.
the thing is with the problem is seems to occur randomly. the phone will work like perfect again for a few days then boom starts forcing close yet again.
only time will tell.

Touch Key FW Update ISSUE

Warning! Do not turn off!" but nothing happens i had wait 10 hour since yesterday and nothing, and i would like to activate those keys again, but i dont know how i restore my phone to stock, i did a hard reset and nothing, i hope someone could help me, im 100% sure that its not hardware, because everything was working just fine I have not thrown or damage my phone i take care of it and im very very carefully with it, so i hope you guys can help me im so sad and desperate and frustrated
Thank you very much in advanced.

Well i find out, how, i just Flash the original stock rom that comes with the phone out of the box ICS 4.0.4 and i did a Factory Reset and that was it !! everything working 100% !!

[Q] How to unroot for guaranty?

I want to use guaranty for my tablet so What should I do to turn my rooted device to official state.
Full story:
Touch screen stopped working and I can work only with pen. I searched web and tried some solutions such as factory reset, but didn't help.
So i think it's a hardware issue and I want to turn it in for repair. But the problem is I've rooted my device with odin(probably with custom Rom) and my binary counters shows 2.
Please guide me how to roll back to official state
P.S. If anyone can help to solve the touch screen issue, I prefer to have my device rooted.

Download and run Triangle |Away from the Play store .
Run TA
Boot to download mode flash stock rom for your phone reboot factory reset.

Post # 2 covers the restore but I have seen many posters with pen issue just like yours and it appears that you could have caused the problem somewhere in your Rooting and or the installation of the custom ROM.
Do a search there are lots of people with the same condition and I believe it is rooting and or user MOD's related.
Good luck.

Tanx JJegan, It worked smoothly:victory:.
But still I have the touch screen issue kkretch .
Now I am realy convinced that it is hardware. but thank you for the tip man.

Null IMEI/Baseband

Hey guys, so I'm pretty new to all this, I wanted to root my Galaxy S6 - SM-G920F - to be able to play pokemon from home... yes, that sad. So I started reading XDA like my brother recommended and "learnt" how to root my phone. In the beggining when i was installing SuperSU I had some problems and my phone went into bootloop, but it was because of my cable, I then reflashed it with another cable and it fixed the bootloop issue. I went on to install TWRP and that's when mistakes started happening. First of all, I forgot to back up my phone, including the EFS which, after reading countless posts, I understood is what gives the phone the IMEI code.
I tried installing the standard Xposed on Galaxy S6 (only later on i learnt you must use Wanam on samsungs from S6 and above) and my phone went into bootloop, with out knowing what to do (i tried the uninstall zip but it was failing to install from twrp...), very stupidly, i deleted my System folder... After much more reading, i tried using KIES3 and Smart switch to recover, but they always ask for the stupid recovery code,which I don't have, when i tried the upgrade and initialization option... I tried costum roms and a ****load of stuff. Custom Roms would usually work, my phone would turn on and that's when i noticed my SIM wasn't beeing recognized. (later on i also found out i didn't have IMEI) tried flashing the appropriate MODEM for my galaxy but it all failed. I don't remenber all the stuff I did tbh... I tried the tyrannus ROM and XtreStoLite Universal Deodexed Mod Edition ROM, and tried flashing the MODEM that comes with the last mentioned ROM and yeah, probably just useless attempts that wouldn't fix the problem in the first place. Then i tried flashing Stock, from Sammobile: I bought my phone at the Portuguese vodafone, so G920FXXS3DPF5_G920FVFG3DPC1_TCL (marshmallow) with Odin but it would always fail. Then i read something about splitting the folder in 5 and flashing 1 by 1 and it would work until the Hidden zip, which would always fail. I tried not flashing Hidden and my phone turned on and I went back to stock although, still with out IMEI or baseband. Then after more reading, i found out the best solution would be giving it to a store.
So i just rooted, twrp and did what i wanted to do in the first place. With the correct Wanam Xposed this time (later on i found a way to hack pokemon with out root... sucks :v) and i managed this time.
Yesterday i went to the stored and today the guy told me to go get it, with high hopes i went there, to find out he couldn't fix the problem... He tried Octobox to rewrite the IMEI from the one in the back of phone, but he says it failed. So now I really don't know what to do. The guy went on holidays and told me to go back there when he comes back, we wants to try to downgrade to lollipop and try to fix it from there (he said he has more tools available to work with). It could work, Galaxy S6 just got marshmallow 1/2 months ago officially, and i bought the phone in october of last year, so maybe with the ROM it came with, I really don't know.
At this point I'm just looking for suggestions. I'll be paying attention to the forum and try to reply to all the questions you might have to my best. Thank you all for your time and patience!
:EDIT: so... another major mistake i guess, I found out today, by asking my parents where they got the phone, that the phone wasn't actually purchased in vodafone, the phone was bought in a Samsung store, so it is unblocked. So most likely I've been flashing the wrong stock rom all along. Could you guys guide me in the right direction from here?

What would be the appropriate ROM for the unblocked? vodafone portugal is TCL, optimus is OPT and MEO is MEO. There is another one under the name TPH, would that be the appropriate one?

Solved
Okay... using the correct stock rom fixed all my problems... sorry for wasting your time guys! TPH was the right one

Where did you find your roms?
