I've got a Nokia 7.1, which in System-About Phone says it is a 7.1, TA-1096. But when I sideload a stock ROM (to move from Oreo to Pie) it says 'E: package is for product CTL_Sprout but expected B2N', and refuses to install it. My understanding is CTL-Sprout is the 7.1, and B2N is the 7 Plus.
It also:
- fails to find that any OTA updates are available despite being on 8.1;
- won't take a B2N ROM by sideload (says 'E:failed to verify whole file signature', 'E:signature verification failed' and 'E:error 21'); and
- interacts fine with ADB when booted or in recovery, but isn't recognised by the fastboot devices command when in 'download mode'., so I haven't been able to flash TWRP.
It all seems strange to me, but I'm not very experienced. I originally put the phone aside when I found there was not going to be a bootloader unlock, and am keen to now get it to Q and try to root it. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Hi oujdamp. It doesn't look promising I'm sorry … I started a similar thread on the Nokia forums and got some useful (but disappointing) information. The link is here: https://community.phones.nokia.com/discussion/59020/my-7-1-thinks-its-a-7-plus-and-so-wont-update

It's actually based on my own problem that i get when updating office suite. My x10 mini isn't rooted yet before this happen but i already updated my phone firmware to the latest version 2.1.1.A.0.6 .
When first open, Office suite asked me "to continue, you must update to newer version. A newer version is available.", so i choose "Yes/Update", downloading process begin. After a minute or more,i checked again got this message "Error!! Updating failed. Try again?". I choose try again option but still failed. Restarting phone still won't do.
The problem is Office Suite is the pre-installed apps from it's manufacturer. So how can we fix this, if we can't even remove this app?
I got this solution that is in my opinion is simple.
First you've got to do is rooting your phone. If it hasn't rooted, you may want to do it now by going here. After you get SuperOneClick and unzip the .zip file, you can start :
1. Don't connect your phone to pc yet.
2. Run the SuperOneClick.exe that you download, click "ROOT" and it'll start checking until it says "Waiting for device...".
3. Now on your phone, go to -> Settings -> Applications ->Development -> tick the "USB Debungging Mode". Click OK.
4. Then connect your phone to PC and choose "Connect Your Phone" option in phone screen.
5. Notice the SuperOneClick app will start checking again.. Let it do it's job.
6. In my case, i failed to ROOT at the first try but don't worry.
7. There'll be a pop-up window asking if your phone are using firmware 2.1 or higher (You may need to check your phone firmware first, go to Settings -> About Phone -> Build Number). Choose "Yes" if you know.
8. The procces will continue again, now wait till it succes. It'll ask you to send message ....to you phone, choose "OK".
9. Now, you are succes on rooting your phone.
10. After that, untick the "USB Debugging Mode".
The second step is
1. getting "Titanium Backup Pro", i would suggest. It doesn't matter which version you use.
2. Copy the file to your phone, go to -> Application -> find the file .apk file and run the installation. After finished, you can choose "Open".
3. It'll ask if you have SuperUserRights, click "Yes".
4. It'll ask again to go into "USB Debugging Mode". You can now tick again this option.
5. After that go to 'Backup/Restore" tab, there'll be a list of pre-installed apps. Scroll down till you find "Office Suite x.x.xx" and below it "Office Suite Update Service x.x.xx". (x.x.xx was the version of Office Suite)
6. Click & choose "Backup!" the two of it. You don't want something worse happen.
7. Now, you can choose "Wipe data" for that two apps.
8. You can get out and check yourself the previous "Office Suite" that is asking updates.
If you find this error problem again when updating "Office Suite", just go to "Titanium Back" and wipe data again..
Done!!!
You can update your office suite again, just make sure you have a stable internet connection or else it'll get an error again. After 4times trying, finally i succeed in updating office suite.
please delete the link to titanium back up pro
it is a paid app you can't post paid apps here for free
it is against the rules

Re: Pre-installed 'Office Suite' will not open / update.
Check if you can clear data fro Office Suite and then try again.
Menu> Settings> Applications> Manage Applications> Click on the first hardware button (the one with four squares)> Filter> All> Office Suite> Clear data.

SE X10mini: in 'Manage Applications', left button, Filter, All Applications > Office Suite Update > Clear data.
I have unlocked the Photon 4G and sometimes I'm using my roaming GSM simcard (it's from middle-east and works at AT&T network).
First I faced a problem with GOOGLE PLAY!!
it can't access the google play app, even I've tried to flash the ROM again but it didn't fixed.
This mean that you can't download any app from the market.:crying:
I've tried to clear the cach and the data of google play like this (settings > manage applications > click playstore under 'all' > clear data > reboot); It also didn't worked :crying:
The FIX::good:
1. Power off, remove the simcard, power on, download what you want from google play, power off again, put back your simcard, power on again, and go.
2. (BETTER):good::good:
Try going into settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Network Mode > choose CDMA only.
then Reboot, then download what you want from the market.
Now to retearn back: Go again into settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Network Mode > choose GSM only.
Done, hear no need need to reboot, AND you are still able to use google play untie the next Reboot.
please if somebody find this thread useful in any way, just hit Thanks to understand that I've helped somebody except me.
I faced this when using this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587770
I don't know if this will appear/solve in other ROMs
I have flashed the following ROM on my Galaxy S3 i9300 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-archidroid-v2-4-6-power-hands-t2354859
The "Can't connect to the camera" error of cyanogenmod persists.
Earlier I was using Cyanogenmod 11 and faced the same issue but there was a quick fix available - Restart_camera.apk
That ofcourse was meant for KitKat and doesn't work for 5.1.1.
I have to reboot my device several times to use the camera.
Is there any fix for this?
Thanks and Regards

Hi, I had the same problem with my i9300
- in my case Snapchat created the problem
- everytime it crashed I got the "Can't connect to camera" notification and had to reboot my phone (that was a problem I also solved with the Restart_camera.apk under CM 11)
(I'm currently running crDroid http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-crdroid-lollipop-t2994209/page46 but I think it might be the same cause)
Solution: (took me a few weeks to find it )
- found out that it messed up a Linux process in the background (it was the "mediaserver" - process)
- created a new Task with Tasker > 'Run Shell' > Command: "pkill -9 /system/bin/mediaserver" > checked 'use root' > finish
- everytime you run the Task the "mediaserver" process gets killed and is restarted by the system
- Camera is released and working fine again without a reboot
Another way if you want to try my Solution without buying Tasker:
- Download OS Monitor (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eolwral.osmonitor&hl=de)
- wait until your Camera crashes next time
Open OS Monitor:
- Settings > check Root > check Expert-Mode
- Back to the Process-List > (all processes - also native Linux processes should be displayed now) > long click on "/system/bin/mediaserver" > "Kill/Reset Process"
Open the Camera:
- it should work now
Hope I could help you!
Best Regards
Find "Mediaserverkill app" on the play store. It's free. Set it to kill Mediaserver on screen unlock, you'll never fave the 'Can;t connect to camera' problem again, thanks.
Hit Thanks if I helped.

Yes, it was the mediaserver. Resetting the process works great. Thanks a ton. :good:
FIX
Ok, here is the fix.
When you're flashing your custom rom, and then flashing Gapps, just download aroma Gapps for any android version you're using and select to flash Google Camera. Then reboot and stock Cyanogenmod camera will be replaced with the Google Camera.
PS: BE SURE YOU ARE DOWNLOADING GAPPS FROM OFFICIAL WEBSITE

This question has been asked many times with no answer.
Textra does not have an option to save your settings.
Where are these settings saved?
Can they be copy-pasted on rooted phones, ?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textra
It's been awhile
Really not sure I want to go through the hassle of starting all over again from scratch, again, with this app.
No need, after starting this thread in 2016, the only app I found on Google Play that can actually remember settings of individual contacts after you delete the conversation with them:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.handcent.app.nextsms
Handcent Next SMS(Free Messenger for texting, MMS)
In other words, with other apps, they remember individual settings for a contact as long as there is at least one message on the phone with that contact, but if you delete that last message, only Handcent Next SMS remembers custom settings for it.
As for saving other settings, this is what I found. Use Helium on Rooted phones:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup
Start Helium and allow it root access.
Select app to backup > BACKUP > Internal Storage *DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING IF PROMPTED*
Backup Complete > OK
Backup is located in the internal storage folder named carbon.
Copy this folder to another device to perform RESTORE.
• Sometimes Helium may only be installed through a Helium Backup Chrome Extension for DESKTOP [not mobile] Chrome:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/helium-backup/gpglbgbpeobllokpmeagpoagjbfknanl?hl=en-US
In case of problems, install UniversalAdbDriverSetup.msi from https://adb.clockworkmod.com/
Enable USB Debugging: Settings > About phone > press on Build Number a total of 7 times to turn on Developer options
Developer options > Android debugging: ON > OK
Reboot both PC and phone.
Start Helium and grant it Root access > Checking Superuser enters a loop > During the loop,
Go to Google Chrome extension and start it > now connect phone to PC > Allow debugging when prompted on the phone. No need to change "Use USB to" - even if left on "Charge this device" the phone should ask to Allow debugging. No need to change "Use USB" to "Transfer files"
CANCEL > OK > either Backup or Restore
When done, Disable USB Debugging.

I HAVE TRIED ALL THE METHODS ABOVE WITH NO LUCK
#%%%%what i did to fix this was to import all contacts from sim to phone memory, close the whatsapp or minimise the open again for it to load the contacts automatically. this is how the "setting up whatsapp. please wait windows phone" was finally fixed $%$%$
I confirm the fix.
Do the usual steps, and when it's stuck on the screen, switch to the contact screen, add a new contact with a phone number, and then go back to the whatsapp app.
None of the origin fixes worked for me.
