Finally made it work. I used Android File Transfer on Mac and chose Camera (PTP) mode on phone. Kies still didn't work on Mac. It keeps saying "Connecting".

I'm having issues getting MTP to work on my Win XP laptop. I've reinstalled the drivers using Kies, tried MTP and PTP several times, it just won't work - keep getting the error 'A problem occured during hardware installation'. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malshadows:
Guys, i tink i've juz found a work around for copying mkv files into sgs3.. at first i tried copying mkv into sgs3 with the MTP option and windows crashed..

I'm using windows 7 ultimate x64 btw.. so i tried renaming the file extension from mkv to avi and copy it over to the phone and it worked..

so i guess all u have to do after copying into the phone is to renaming it back to mkv using es file explorer or any other file explorers and you're good to go.. :)

Hope this helped..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecclesiatic:
I also have the issue of windows explorer crashing while trying to transfer the .MKV file type.

MP4 is fine by the way.

also running windows 7 64bit.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iriasu:
Windows 7 64 bit

What malshadows has suggested works like a charm :D. Since the only file that crashed explorer is Mkv, i changed the extension which bypasses the problem. I am On windows 7 64bit like the rest that had the same problem.

I always use the Samba shares in eos file explorer to access a share I created on pc
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stripealipe:
Yep, if you are using a Mac, you HAVE to put the S3 into camera (PTP) mode and use Android File Transfer. Works no probs. Else KiesAir works very well (though with file size limits?) and AirDroid works well too.

The last two options obviously suffer from WiFi speeds.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicesoni_ash:
If you are still searching for it then it's pretty easy mate.. Since you can't connect your Android ICS through Mass Storage but only through MTP, you can't flash your MMC through that way so you need a Card reader for the same. Connect your MMC through a card reader to your PC.. Right click and go to format. Change File system to exFAT and format it.. You will have it in exFAT format..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webstudiolund:
Another Samba app

I use the app AndSMB from Google Play, over wifi. You work from your phone preferably against a dedicated folder after logging in to the windows user you use. Depending on the share settings you can browse around on your computer.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCHD2ireland:
Yeah using 64 bit windows. I also just changed the file extension to avi from mkv and it works well. I don't even bother changing the file extensions back to mkv on the device. It's a minor inconvenience but worth it:laugh:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScrapMaker:
This is ridiculous... I had to rename zip files to .MP3,AVI etc just to copy them over. These limitations make MTP garbage in my opinion...

Firstly, This is a development forum. This topic does not belong here.

Second, use common sense, topic titles are supposed to be descriptive of topic. Putting silly things like "help needed", "help please" etc etc does not help anybody browsing forum.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Well I dont give a sh1t what YOU "want".

And yes I do keep creating the same message, that is because people keep posting questions and general topics in dev sections. I will continue to inform the people who do this until they stop or XDA intervenes and ups the post count restriction to something realistic or completely restricts posting rights to dev user groups. And FYI I was helping, if the OP posts in correct place and in correct way they would get better replies.

@ OP

Wasn't personal, Its just that if you post in right section and with a accurate descriptive title you are more likely to get a quicker and more relevant response(s) instead of ones like mine or from the "prophet" dude.

Also posting your email address on a public forum is a very bad idea. Not just because of general people seeing it but because of bots that crawl places like this for email addresses for spam/malware purposes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sathariel74:
Sorry to have a word here, but TheATHEiST IS right. I registered some days ago and i had to watch a video telling me that i am a noob and should keep my mouth shut until i really know what i can, should and must say. I try to follow that rule. This forum is really straight over the usual users mind - a forum from developers to developers/experienced users. It really makes me kind of sick to see ppl spamming the whole day their questions (especially into new threads) like in a ****ing AOL newsgroup. Here is no place for this. [/sorry off]

To the thread starter: I damaged my phone 2 days after i got it (around 2 weeks ago). But usually you can just flash and try again. Next time make a backup before - there are tons of possibilities. And read a lot here before acting. That really helps.

So flash again (as suggested already) and follow the steps given.

[General Questions and Answers] jojo23460:
Hi, I'm new to the forum and first post. I used to think I was smart, not so much anymore...and here's why.

1. I have an s-on 1.5 hboot cdma Sprint Evo 3d that I originally rooted using this method. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239821

I have flashed synergies, cleanrom, miui, cyanogen, and mean rom. The last rom I was with before the issues was mean rom. I saw the new Mean Rom ICS, downloaded it, and noticed that the phone was really glitchy.(this particular rom was advertised with vm ics leak free) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1645211.

2. Heres where the fun begins. I thought I may have downloaded a bad kernel so I used flash image gui to try and get the recommended kernel...didn't go too well. then saw the 2.17 file to PG86IMG workaround and tried that...I couldn't get that to work either. at this point I was pretty frustrated with the way my screen was acting up, not recognizing inputs, or only working in landscape, so I decided that restoring my phone back to stock would be the best bet. I couldn't have been more wrong.

3. im running windows 8 beta, so some functionality and compatibility is out the window here at this point...meaning fastboot, sdk, apk do not function correctly (or at least not for me...) in this OS. So I downloaded the VMware trial and the latest version of Ubuntu and got the fastboot and all that going on there. it was at this point I was able to relock my phone using some of the more popular workarounds for the issue on this forum. However, when I RELOCKED, I also received a SECURITY WARNING. at this point I could not get past the bootloader. I did unlock it, but now its worse...

4. I've spent the last couple of days trying to get the phone to work to no avail...Here's where I'm at now. New sd card. superwiped. Twrp v 1.1.1(I like the tp). I CAN voldwn/pwr to boot. It CAN go into recovery. It CAN talk to my computer in ubuntu, but if you decide to help me by giving me Ubuntu script, please dumb it down for me. It CANNOT boot any roms past the HTC screen. I have tried loading various roms and such with an equal amount of success.

5. So here is what im hoping for. An outcome in which I still have the Evo3d, S-off, and a solid rom. What I need is the assistance to get my phone to load and boot any rom at all. Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] jjklemenz:
try fastboot boot boot.img

in the zip of your rom there should be a boot.img try to fastboot flash boot boot.img ( put a copy of the file in the directory you run adb from) its what i had to do i am running virtuous ics rom works perfectly on my phone not one glitch yet but i need s-off if you can help;) i even had the same bootloader error that you had when i tried to relock
[General Questions and Answers] jojo23460:
Thanks, that actually did it. I set the .img file to the android folder in linux, ran the 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' command and it booted like no other, lol. Now im like you, still wanting to get to S-off but cant figure out how to load a stock rom or even which one I should get. I did flash an anthrax kernel (rc2.1 zram rls) if that matters. do you happen to know which rom to flash?
[HTC One V] JalmiNyondong1933:
I ask this question beacause I concern with message I got when I change my microSD card. I always get "microSD card Unexpectedly Removed" error message. I'm afraid I eventually will erase all of my data. How did I remove my microSD card? Firstly, I unmounted SD card from settings then I turn off my device. Secondly, I remove SD card and and insert a new one. Lastly, I turn on my device and still got that message...:confused:

Now please tell me how to remove SD card properly??
[HTC One V] Slinkee:
You should've umounted first in settings -> storage -> unmount SD card. :)
[HTC One V] JalmiNyondong1933:
Yep. I did that. Then I turn off my device, change SD card then turn it on again. Still get that error message.
[HTC One V] esque:
Did you really turn the phone off completely?

That is, press the power button for 10 seconds, rather than just for 5 seconds and selecting 'turn off'?
[HTC One V] JalmiNyondong1933:
Yep. After I press the power button there were 3 options: turn off, airplane mode & restart. I chose turn off. Then I remove my SD card. Still got that error msssage.. am I eventually gonna erase my SD card data?
[HTC One V] shubhamchamaria:
Hold power button for ten seconds...it will automatically turn off...then change sdcard and then restart...
[HTC One V] JalmiNyondong1933:
Do I have to unmount the SD card on setting first?

Update: my phone is restarting when I hold the power button for 10 sec. instead of turning off..:confused:
[HTC One V] esque:
No. You only need to unmount if you want to remove the card while the phone is running.

When the phone is turned off the cards is unmounted automatically.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
anyone else noticing that you cant mount usb storage the first time you boot into the EL26 repack kernel(the one you are supposed to use with ICS ROMs)? for me i have to boot into recovery then reboot recovery in order to mount USB storage to my computer. this has happened every time in both ubuntu 12.04 and windows 7 ultimate (both are 64 bit)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
So that we can assist you with resolving this issue please explain in detail of how you are flashing el26 kernel/recovery and how you are booting into recovery... Is your phone plugged into the computer while you are booting into recovery?

Please explain in detail so that I or anyone else can help you with this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
ok

i flash it with mobile odin ( it does check the md5sum and wont flash if its bad) and then as it is rebooting i hold power and vol. up till it says samsung galaxy s II twice then let go and it boots into recovery then i enable the back button menu ( where you can use the power button to select things) then i plug in my USB into computer then my E4GT then i go to mounts and storage then mount USB. i will wait and wait but it never shows up on my computer so i unmount and go all the way back, to go advance and hit reboot recovery and try it again and my computer will see the second i hit mount USB storage

(the second time the cord is already plugged in but i have tried plugging it in before going into recovery the first time but still nothing)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peanut1596:
Not the case for me. Try mounting first and then plugging in the cable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I agree with waiting to connect to the computer until after recovery has booted.

I will try to replicate this issue, I'll post back here with the verdict.
[LG Optimus 2x] reikibr:
Well guys, I recently bought an LG Optimus 2x used. The phone is fairly new, it came with a custom rom 7 cmd 2.3.7. And I'm currently using the ChuckNorris Edition 1.3 + ETaNa_LOC_DS_OTF. Except that since I caught him I can not make the front camera work. Is it a bug of the rom or maybe he already has me sold with a hardware defect?

Great job! I can't wait to see where this goes! I must say though that it is too buggy for me to use as a daily driver. Auto rotate and lag are the deal breakers for me. Thanks again and I hope to see this progress far!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leech2082:
Thank you guys for the appreciation thus far. Like I said it is a work in progress.. Many things can be done to speed it up.. Of course the auto rotate is top priority right now.. If anyone knows of a tweek they feel could be included that would enhance the user expeirenece..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CharliesTheMan:
Mr wookie has done some amazing new stuff with his rom, I have no idea how he made it so blazing fast with a stock based rom but the graphics engine seems to have a lot to do with it. His rom doesn't have the black box that you see on many roms with the auto rotate, just in case that's helpful.

Great job on this so far guys. I'm very impressed. I'm one of those rare people that really enjoys a nice custom sense rom over AOSP. Friends of mine have been on the MIUI bandwagon but this is my first time really giving it a chance. This rom is absolutely beautiful, and there's something about the display and this rom that makes the screen colors seem so much more bright and colorful and pretty compared to the stock ASUS roms. I'm sure with the right settings in AOSP and some apps for tweaking I could get stock roms to look better, but MIUI seemed to make the display and homescreens really pop on my prime right out of the box.

I know it's still in beta but I think beta is quite an understatement its VERY possible to run this as a daily driver if you know how to workaround the small issues.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Kediil:
Ok, so, long story short, my suicidal little sidekick decided to leap from my moving motorcycle. Of course I went back for the little bugger, only to be forced to stand by the highway on ramp watching his poor little frame get run over by no less than three separate vehicles. Unfortunately, in the tragic scene, his SD Card made its own escape, which means my Titanium backups are, to say the least, gone. However, I just plugged him in to the computer and low and behold, the computer detects him! Not only that, but for all that his face is smashed and detached, he turns on, makes all his appropriate sounds of the home screen and buttons, buzzes for notifications, and the keyboard lights up and beeps to its keys. So, I'm thinking his guts are still in working order.

What I'm looking for, is some way of accessing him to make a backup. I have a new sidekick on the way, and the prospect of saving *any* of my data is too sweet a thing to pass up. I plan to get a busted SK as well and swap out his guts to see if I can have a backup.

Any help would be immensely appreciated!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
It's really easy to take the Sidekick apart. I suggest swapping the main boards between this and a working sidekick. If the mainboard is undamaged (And it sounds like it's in pretty good shape,) you should be able to fire it right up.

See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1466906 for disassembly instructions.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Kediil:
I inspected further earlier and from what I can tell, aside from the very popcorn screen (with its otherwise undamaged screen protector ;p), a keyboard plate that needs a little straightening and reinsertion, and a few scratches to the skin, everything else is looking good. I'm thinking I might just need to replace the screen. Or swap the board like you suggested if I can get a physically working SK for a decent price.

^..^
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
Also you could try rooting your new sk installing a rom with voodoo recovery booting both the new and the busted sk into recovery by pulling the battery, putting it back in and pressing vol up+vol down+power till the splash screen comes up and release the buttons. Then navigate in tandem to backup and restore and creating a nandroid backup on the busted sk then putting the sd card from the busted sk into the new one and doing a restore and boom you cloned your old sk
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Kediil:
That's definitely a good idea, so long at the new SK is fully functional. Only problem might be that I don't currently have nandroid on my busted SK. Hopefully I'll be able to figure it out though. ^..^ If I just end up swapping the guts, then doing a backup shouldn't be an issue.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
Lol if you have cwm installed on it either red voodoo or orange you can do a nandroid backup. When you boot into recovery there's an option on the list called backup and restore that's what I'm talking about
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Kediil:
Ah, I gotcha! My bad. ;p
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Kediil:
A smartacle type friend came over and we set up webkey so I have a virtual screen now. Made an adb backup and a titanium backup. Just have to find myself a phone to flip this brain into.

If anyone who happens by this has, or know someone who has, a spare SK4g sitting about in pieces or with a bad board or something, I'd much appreciate it. All I really must have is the full slide-screen assembly, but I'm having a touch time finding something for under $80.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jchurcher:
There are a lot of reports on these forums, and others, of issues relating to the compass/magnetometer on Windows Phone 7 (especially after the Mango update).

We have looked at the compass application on two phones (HTC Titan and Lumia 800) and found the bug which seems to be causing the problem. Most forums simply say "calibrate your compass" or "return it to the shop", however it appears as though the problem may not be isolated to any particular device, but in the OS itself.

There is a Microsoft help request which outlines the problem quite clearly:

I am a new user and cannot post links: please Google 'WP 7.5 compass magnetic reading error by Bill McC' and the top result is the Microsoft bug-fix page.

If you have problems with your WP7 compass, please vote up this bug-fix so it receives the attention it requires.

For people living outside Europe or the US, this is even more important. One of the reasons people in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile, etc could be experiencing issues in heading accuracy is due to the calculation of the magnetic declination which seems to be hugely inaccurate in the southern hemisphere.

Any help with a workaround would be appreciated if someone is aware of one. In the mean time, please consider voting up this bug-fix as important.
