[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.

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.

[Q] Help with a Freelande PH20 / MAPAN MX713

Hello, i know it's not great one of my 1° post be a cry for help, but i'm having way more trouble then i should with my father's PD20
well... lets me start, i was trying to root the tablet because... because i wanted, wen i was using Z4root (the last one) my tablet just reset after some little time, wen he boot again i notice the all my apps are gone and the tablet was on Chinese (or Korean) i tried save some new apps on the internal memory and the system just said the my tabled was full ( but wasnt).
I did a quick search on this forum and diagnosed as a rom problem, nothing rly serious if wasn't for the fact its almost impossible (at least for me) find the original room.
another search on the forum and i saw some people with a similar problem but different tablet model, they solve their problems installing a rom from a similar model. I tried several generic/similar roms and kinda worked, some of they are way to slow, another ones had some problems with the touch, but on my 14-16 attempt i installed this rom "MaPan_MX713_Android_4.0.4os_Firmware_20121028J" for MAPAN MX713 and the system worked a little bit slow and with a huge discrepancy on the touchscreen, but my problem was for some reason that uso modified my boot system not allowing anymore the backup mode, just that screen who has no options and that kinda broke my legs
i guess i will need a clockwork for one MAPAN MX713 to be able to keep trying find the rom but im almost lost, any help will be appreciated
if i buy another one (same model) can i recovery this one ??

Bumb/Update
I menage to install adb tolls and tried a couble recovery.img from clockworkMoD, no luck fom me
if anyone knows who i could install a decent Recovery mode i will be gratefull

if i buy another one (same model) can i recovery this one ?

Strange problem about formatting

Hi,
i got strange problem about my lenovo A850, i have force closes of all of my apps, i tried formatting lenovo with setting/recovery.. , try uninstalling apps, flash new rom with flashtool, but e.g. i uninstall candy crush saga, and after restart, i have candy crush saga again installed.. this happens about formats as well, i cant format/reinstall it at all..

A850 storage lock?
I have a very similar issue. The A850 I have is from China and came with a customer ROM loaded. When I try to factory reset either in recovery or from Android settings the unit remains unchanged. I have also tried to flash a new ROM with SP Flash with the same result.
Can anyone confirm if there is a way the Lenovo device could have been write protected from supplier?

Same problem Here!
And it started this month... I own this phone since december 2013 and never had any problem.
I was using stock s123 rom (never flashed this phone before).
It started closing all apps and process, so I turned it off and on again. After boot the problem continues.
Tried wiping emmc via recovery and have no success.
Then I try flashing few different roms and the problem persist.
It´s like the phone is "Read Only" !!
As I see I´m not the only one with this problem, and never seen it before. We all started with the problem this month... very strange.
Perhaps it was an update from an app?
The problem started one morning after snooze the alarm. I found the phone was closing all apps and process.
I was using "Alarm Clock Plus". I also have "Clean Master" Installed.
Let´s see if we can find a solution, good luck!

Hahah...yep...
Now that swarm has finally arrived. The swarms of ****ty Lenovo phones...
Don't get it? As rumoured there will be a batch of Lenovo phones from an unauthorized Chinese manufacturer spreading throughout the world including Malaysia (received biggest impact), and I think you are the affected ones. For gods sake that phones are total... failure.:thumbdown:
Not really different from what I'm using right now, it's a CN firmware out of the box, but it's good (the kernel sucked, can't flash third-party recovery).
Have you tried root? Root unlocks features and you can troubleshoot better with root access. How? Framaroot. Risks? Well depend on the phone's architecture. If it's stable then it shouldn't be a problem.
How's that phone acting? You can still try many ways to troubleshoot, like using the Lenovo phone PC suite. If it still can react with the PC suite then there's chance. If it reaches to the extent of "The computer can't find your device" or "wrong phone" or worse, "Your device is not supported or invalid", boop(!) dead end, blame the Chinese, you've been fraud.
That's all I can help.
This was sent from my fully-Xposed-modded Lenovo A850 rooted stock ROM via XDA mobile app.

GT-I9100 Nand r/w corruption suspected

Hello people of XDA!
I know that this thread may be repetitive, but I unfortunately didn't find any help in all threads regarding GSII's NAND r/w problem.
So in short, I will explain what happened to this device
I bought this GSII brand new as my 1st flagship device, and I am kind of sentimentally connected to it, if not I would've thrown it in trash a long time ago.
So here is the thing
I had stock firmware on this device (4.1.2 JB) , and after some time decided to flash CM 11 on it when it came out, and had it on my phone for 4-5 weeks but I instantly noticed that my device was overheating with that ROM so I decided to get back on stock firmware, unfortunately thing is that i flashed android 4.0.3 ICS (Movistar Mexico) then my device got bricked (I had a really bad knowledge back then about roms and things that I SHOULD and SHOULDN'Tdo), anyway I tried fixing the mess I made by flashing my original android 4.1.2 JB rom (Telenor Serbia) hoping that will solve my bricked device, but unsuccessfully. Then I tried flashing again standardly for maybe 4-5 times with no success and decided to explore more functions that odin provides, so I checked NAND erase all last time I flashed and I guess made a huge mistake, but still I couldn't boot my device, I tried hard resetting it (I lost my power button while replacing the screen of my phone, so I couldn't boot into recovery to check if device is soft bricked or really hard bricked, but download mode works just fine). Still I tried, I flashed custom kernels hoping they would fix this brick but nothing happened, I would really like to get this thing working again, I had no success at finding a good mainboard to replace the old one, and doing it in official repair shops and non-official ones costs more than the phone itself. Sorry for asking the same old question I guess but I would be really thankful if I could get this working again!

Problems with my Xiaomi Redmi 8A

Hello people of XDA Forum,
Since a couple of years I own a Xiaomi Redmi 8A, which I ordered brand new on AliExpress.
After a couple of failed attempts to install a Custom Rom on the device, I still have an unlocked bootloader
and a "offical" stock firmware on the smartphone installed. Sadly now occurs an other problem,
frequently the screen "freezes" when I want to use the touchscreen. Sometimes when I put the power-button
and pressing it another time the screen responsed to it. But not always, it's getting very frustating when
for example I play "Call of Duty Mobile". My question is that I want to know of the problem is software-
or hardware based? Hopefully you can help me out, thnx

Have you modified anything in your device recently? No? Then it's probably hardware issue.
Do you have any damage to your phone? Then it's even more likely to be hardware issue.

Thanks for the reply. Now I have this problem for a couple of weeks sadly... There is no visible damage on the
device, but I have dropped the smartphone a couple of times out my hand... So I have this problem and I thought
that a firmware upgrade might help me out, but the problem still remains.

If you think the damage to your phone is significant enough for it to affect your screen then maybe you should send it for a checkup.
Although you can try using different ROM to test if it works since it's probably much cheaper to do so than fixing the screen.
But don't flash an OTA update, flash latest stock ROM manually or flash a custom ROM. That way the settings are reset, you can backup your data with TWRP.

Allright, thank you very much for the suggestion. Finally I managed to flash an older Fastboot ROM through
the "MI Flash Tool", which solved my touchscreen problems.
