[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]

This isn't the LG G2 forum.

[Q] Is there a way to learn when you last changed rom?

Is there a way to learn when you last changed rom or flashed an image ?
I would like to know how long I stayed on one rom but I can't remember when I flashed it.
So I would like to know if there's a way to know when the OS was installed (similar to the uptime in fact)

There are probably several ways to do this, like checking when a system folder was created or edited, but I think the easiest way is to just check your Google account security settings for when your device was authorized, assuming you logged into your account the same day you set up your new ROM.
And by the way, questions should be posted in the Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting subforum

The ROM you flashed, if it was current when you flashed it, will have a build date in settings/about device.

[Completed] [Q] need help note 3 (SM-N9005)

hi there,
i have a SM-9005( Australian Telstra) which i bought used a couple of weeks/ about a month ago. NOT KNOWING WHAT I WAS DOING i tried to install android 5.0 via odin but, the thing that i did'nt realise was that it was the hong kong firmware after installing it i encountered a problem something like " binary (number) < (number) i figured that it was because when i decided to install it the storage was about 95% full and it only had like 300mb left so i just went into recovery and restored the phone. after successfully installing 5.0 i noticed that the phone was starting to be glitchy as in system would'nt respond (lag) no sound and camera and mic and calling wouldn't work. so i decided it was best to just roll back to the old os 4.4.2 and thats what i did. after doing so i realised that the same problems were still there "no in/outgoing call, no sound, no Google Now, no S-Voice, no camera, slow lock screen and slow settings" after trying to research and not finding anything that would help me ( mainly as my phone is Australian variant) i decided to install a custom rom Cyanogenmod, although this fixed the camera the other problem were still there and after trying to even restore from a nandroid backup via twrp recovery the problem has still not been resolved and well....:crying:

Can I install it without bootloader unlock?
Summersett said:
My bootloader unlocked Maxx is on 4.4 (19.5.3.obake-maxx_verizon.Verizon.en.US). Since my bootloader is unlocked, do I really have anything to fear when flashing ROMs or am I pretty much guaranteed to be able to always have WP off and root? I'd like to give this one a shot but don't want to cross any bridges I may not be able to come back across if need be.

My bootloader is locked, I'm on 4.4.4 with root, but I don't now how I can unlock my moto, I must to have TWRP? How can I install this recovery? Help me please, I want lollipop, and verizon is so slow.

This isn't the place to ask that, and right now you are stuck on stock. Please dig around the forums and do some research before spamming threads where content does not belong.

No GPS
Flashed this ROM on my Droid MAXX and love it. Everything seems to work except I cannot get any GPS lock on any application I tried. Downloaded GPS toolbox and reset and downloaded aGPS data but no change. Anyone have this problem? From what I've searched on forums it seems to be a somewhat common issue in Lollipop. FYI I also flashed a different 5.1.1 ROM and it had the same problem.

I haven't had this issue and have reflashed this ROM a few times. Tbh I have never even heard of that as an issue (though it's not like I researched Lollipop problems since I wasn't having any).
I used TWRP 2.8.4.0, factory reset, flashed the ROM, and then flashed these GApps. Idk if that makes a difference. Give it a shot if nothing else is working for you? Good luck.

Dang... That is exactly how I did it. I used that same exact gapps file and also am on TWRP 2.8.4.0. Seems like none else is reporting this problem on our phones. Maybe the radio got screwed up? Just thinking out loud here

Installed OctOS on two separate MAXXes. My gfs seems stable. Mines been touchy though-
A) Like someone else mentioned, using the flashlight for an extended period often ends up in the phone doing a hard reboot. Haven't tested this with her phone but she hasn't reported anything to me either.
B) WiFi has been unstable. Initially it was fine, but every now and then it starts refusing to connect to any network. It doesn't kick back any error. It will say connecting, etc, then at some point fail and go back to just noting it's a saved connection. Have to go through some combination of forgetting the connection, wiping cache/Darvin, think I even tried running fix permissions. Eventually it will work normally again, but not for long before having the same issue. There haven't been any wifi issues with the other phone. The first time this ever occurred was right after using it as a hotspot, but its happened more often without any hotspot usage than with it.
C) Did great at first, but without installing very many apps, it feels like it's gotten slightly sluggish and is often low on memory, and is burning through the battery much quicker. Used the be able to clear 24 hours before needing to charge, now I'm lucky to get 16. I haven't had the chance to see if this is also an issue on the other phone or not.

GPS works nicely for me with this rom. My phone got a fix in seconds with 16 satellites.
Question: which is the best way to theme this (or others, for that matter) rom? Download CM12 themes from mayket?

Did you ever get GPS back? Some say going back to stock, getting a lock, and then go back to the custom rom works. There is also a link in the exodus thread about doing two fastboot commands, which worked for me for a bit, bit now I'm back on stock with no GPS at all. Curious if you got yours working.

[Completed] Bootloop problem on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (P5100)

Hello!
I have the following problem and after countless searches over many forums I ended up finding no answer:
About 4-5 months ago my P5100 started to restart itself after 1 or 2 minutes of functioning properly (restarts even faster if i try to connect over Wi-Fi or install an app). I thought that if I leave it for a while everything will be ok, it wasn't the case so I started trying to fix it. Before I go on I mention that my P5100 was rooted , running CWM version 5.5 and CM10(10.1.3), i haven't messed with the rom, recovery, firmware etc. for more that one year and a half so it started all of a sudden. I tried everything starting from simply updating the CM version to ADB commands and finally flashing back to the stock firmware with Odin. The wipe data/factory reset didn't work neither in recovery nor commands, I even tried to delete everything via Internal Storage in my pc through USB. Every time it reverts itself to the point it was left before although everything seemed to work just fine no errors or so. It doesen't remember after reboot any setting I made or any app that i installed(if I manage to install one) it is like i didn't do anything at all to it. :crying:
Many thanks for taking your time to read my thread and maybe help me:laugh:
