Is any app like this for Gnu/Linux?

And for Android itself?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] big_bum:
I'm also interested in a Linux tool that does the same thing.
[Galaxy S II General] loginsvarios:
A good one

I found this one:

http://mp3val.sourceforge.net/

I'ts opensource and multi OS. I nedd to test it, but sounds like the app we are searching. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] elishnevsky:
Has it ever crossed your mind that you can fix the broken mp3's instead of just deleting them? :)
[Galaxy S II General] jr866gooner:
What exactly is it about them that is broken by the way?
[Galaxy S II General] dapsANDpoundz:
How?
[Galaxy S II General] SilentEYE:
Here is also the MP3 checker for windows and linux.

http://mp3.about.com/od/tutorials/ht/Check-MP3-Files-For-Errors.htm
[Galaxy S II General] Will.1:
I fixed my MP3's and still get the issue.

I have some FLAC/Lossless files and I think this is causing the cpu to be always awake to decode these files. I'll run some more tests and let you know.

Or maybe it has something to do with the mp3 tags, mine use ID3V2 + Lyrics so maybe that's an issue.
[Galaxy S II General] brekfest:
Any idea how to get this to work on Jellybean since my phone doesn't mount as a standard drive anymore? Using OSX and MP3 Scan+Repair, it won't allow me to drag anything from Android File Transfer.
[Galaxy S II General] Argjent:
I found out that some of my MP3 had some Portuguese characters like Ç AND ã, and the tool provided found them incorrect with 0 bytes, so only after removing these characters the MP3 checker reported them as Good MP3s :)
[Galaxy S II General] Eezay:
Hi, the mp3 checker really does a great Job. But i still have wakelocks because of the mediaserver. I noticed that they are caused because of the russian music i listen to. Mp3 checker reported all of them as broken But thats false. It seems the ckecker and my phone have a problem with cyrillic music tags. My phone language is german and wakelocks don't happen when listening to music with latin characters.

Can someone help me?
[Galaxy S II General] gastonw:
Yes, make a copy of your DCIM folder and keep an empty one in your internal SD.

[Galaxy S II General] Eezay:
So you mean i should have no Photos on my phone and don't make any? Why? O.o
[Galaxy S II General] BAZZI_US:
Do not only scan an delete!

Try to fix them with: http://www.gromkov.com/faq/repair/mp3_validator.html
[Galaxy S II General] Eezay:
I deleted the ones I thought they could really be broken. But mp3checker displays every song with cyrillic tags as broken and 0kb. But that's for sure not true. What should I fix if nothing is broken?
[Galaxy S II General] zxz0O0:
MP3-Checker from OP crashes for me. mp3val seems to be a very good solution, you can also fix the files with problems directly within the program. Thanks :good:
[Galaxy S II General] gastonw:
I actually said that you should make a copy of the DCIM folder. Keep your pics in your external SD.

[Galaxy S II General] sceptor:
Um is it just me or does this thing not let me select the folder for the HTC media?

Wont let me link it because the path shows as "Computer\HTC One\Internal storage"
[Galaxy S II General] Avengeme:
This tool won't work for JB phones, the phone doesn't mount as a drive letter. You'll have to move the music over or see if you can find a program that's coded a little more intelligently.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] FAdrums:
Hi guys,

Well I'm a android user and I have a SE Arc S and I know quite a few things about flashing new roms, kernels, etc...

My girlfriend has a galaxy mini and she's complaning about the phone's performance. So I want to install a custom rom with a better performance but I know little about the "how to" in Samsung.

I've searched but I couldn't find any tutorial. Can someone post a link please?

Thanks

EDIT: Found the tutorials but in SE phone we have to unlock the bootloader, is it necessary on the Galaxy minis? Or is it just flashing through CWM recovery?!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
Try here www.yagyagaire.blogspot.com I'm sure you'll find some info :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] misbah16:
If you have understood methods then Try flashing CM7 (or ROMs based on cm7) for best customizations or try Emanon v6 for touchwiz look and better stability....

Hit thnx it will take your 1KB only..

Recently, a world popular 3rd party ROM CyanogenMod 9 has been released, however, some of my friends report to me that they can't catch the information given by those great developers. Therefore, I'm here to share my post in my blog, there's a detailed information guide of Flashing CM9 ROM which is written in Chinese.

http://flashingdroid.blogspot.hk/2012/06/galaxy-s-iii-cyanogenmod-9.html

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Xaikar:
If you are reading this and were having the same situation then time is very important here. First off if you are stuck looping into fastboot and cannot get it to do anything else quickly go throw your Razr onto a wall charger (This will not charge up your phone but it will stave off its death) Reboot until fastboot says battery OK.

Okay relax we have a little bit of time now.

I AM IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE

Go download (adb /fastboot files) http://dottech.org/downloads/adb_fastboot_and_other_tools.zip

And Download (Droid Razr Utility) http://www.filefactory.com/file/7ki1gjhtk1jj/n/DroidRAZRUtility1_51_ICS_COMPATIBLE_zip

I DID NOT MAKE EITHER OF THESE TOOLS BUT COMBINED THEY SAVED ME

1: Extract the adb / fastboot files to your desktop

2: Copy the SYSTEM.IMG out of the Razr utility into the folder with your adb / fastboot stuff

3: Hold shift and right click inside the folder with all your adb / fastboot files and select open command prompt here

4: Unplug your Razr and plug your Razr into your computer

DO NOT REBOOT IT (Make sure it still says battery OK)

5: Type in the command (Do not type in the brackets) [fastboot flash system system.img]

6: WAIT its going to take a little over a minute to send the file and a little over a minute to write the file

7: Once the system file has been sent over reboot

8: You should see the Droid Razr boot image just give it time to start up

9: CHARGE YOUR PHONE

10: Go back and run Droid Utility and press 1 on its options to properly reimage the device.

I hope this was helpful I havent seen any guides like this before. I was almost to the point of caving in and tearing the Razr open but I really didn't feel comfortable doing that. I was looking everywhere for a guide to trick fastboot or get the Razr to charge in fastboot (No luck) I was in that scary place were I thought I had bricked my first phone ever but I was able to recover from it. If you still have life in your phone this should work. The reason the Droid Razr utility does not work is it reboots the phone and then knows the battery is dying. This guide tricks fastboot into thinking the battery is okay. Once fastboot is tricked you should be able to flash by pushing it yourself.

If your phone dies while doing this you are probably hard bricked now.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] apixelheDrew:
Xaikar, I am in the exact same boat you were, stuck in bootloop after a botched flashing, slow leak of life for 2 days now, had to travel 2 hours to get high speed so i can dl these damn files, I live in boondocks for the moment where service and internet is piss poor. Anyways tried your method with a system.img from the later version of Matt's DroidRAZRUtility1.6_final (shouldn't matter changelog didn't mention anything about changing the file); and it had a INFOPreflash validation failure FAILED <remote: >. So I am running out of ideas & time man, tried everything else.:( probably have to find a different system.img, which version was your phone, or how would I go about making my own system.img from the fastboot files for my signed GSM-LATAM system?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Xaikar:
Try getting a GSM version of a system.img, I was able to do the utility one because I am cdma. Also try flashing the recovery. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img that might help get back a working recovery so you can get some kind of image on there to charge the Razr back up.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Foxxygrandpa24:
HELP!! :(

Idk if im just THAT computer dumb but i finally downloaded the files after roughly 4 hours and i dont see a "SYSTEM.IMG" file within it. You are literally my only hope cause i've looked everywhere for a solution and this is the only one close to what i need!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Xaikar:
Did you extract the utility into its own folder? Inside of that folder there should be a System file somewhere you might not see system.img unless you have extensions turned on. You should still see a SYSTEM file name it should be rather large in size. Let me know if that works.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dvainsa:
how will I know when the system file will be done sending in order to reboot? it just keeps saying sending system?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Xaikar:
Should take a few minutes 5 at the most. It should say something like writing system complete. Let me know if you need more help.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] in3t:
I ran into a problem using the util today but you can simply unzip another rom and replace the files in the " files " folder to the new rom and then run it again. It will install it via fastboot just like the rom that came with it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dvainsa:
I got the same flash failed message.. have you found any to fix it?? I tried flashing the recovery and I got the same message for that too
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Xaikar:
Can you be more elaborate on the error mesaage
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dvainsa:
INFOPreflash validation failure

FAILED <remote:

This is what I get when I try to flash the system.img
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Xaikar:
Is it a GSM or CMDA Razr?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dvainsa:
I have a CDMA Razr
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Florestan2:
uuh... all I get is a <waiting for device> message. I can't get the phone to respond. It's stuck on the red droid-eye boot screen. I'm CDMA, btw

I have the system.img file in the same folder as all your other files, and followed the directions exactly. Help?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Xaikar:
You need to install the MOTOROLA Drivers that why it says you are waiting for device. I need to edit the guide to include that sorry I would do it now but I am crazy tired.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Florestan2:
They are installed.... I've checked 3 times...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Xaikar:
When you are in the command prompt. Try typing

fastboot devices

Did it show any devices?

Also try loading your task manager and killing any ADB.exe running so it can reboot those utilities.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Florestan2:
It returns:

014e64e40101100D fastboot​

Yup - killed all instances of ADB* in task manager, too.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Xaikar:
Great so it sees the device thats great news. What do it say about the battery does it say its low or battery OK?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Florestan2:
It says:

Device is locked. Status Code: 0

Battery OK

OK to program

Transfer Mode:

USB Cable
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Xaikar:
Okay thats good. Lets try this next.

Remember that utility we took the SYSTEM.IMG from stick that file and the RECOVERY.IMG in the same folder as the folder with the fastboot stuff.

Try

fastboot erase recovery

then

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

after that completes

fastboot reboot

once it comes back up

fastboot erase system

then

fastboot flash system system.img

REMEMBER in command line EVERYTHING is case sensitive.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Florestan2:
BTW - I really appreciate your help. I think I'm hosing my phone.... my story is that I've gotten the ICS upgrade already, and it went fine (yes, I was rooted before and after). Had it for about a week, then tonight decided to change the stock font. I've used Font Switcher app many times before flawlessly. Tried putting back the same font I've used in the past and phone rebooted (like normal).

Then I got stuck at the red eye while it boots. I couldn't get into AP Fastboot until now. No menu option to get there, it just shows up, but I have to hold the vol- button after I release the power key. Running Matt's DRU (1.7) won't even respond (I've made a post on DroidRzr.com, and get mixed results...

I did try his DRU 1.6, but got lots of errors and now the phone doesn't get past the Motorola Dual Core screen, at which point it just shuts off completely. Trying your util doesn't seem to get me anywhere either. What to do?

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

I took the system.img file from matt's DRU 1.7. Does that matter?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Xaikar:
Not really sure on the system file. I know I used the from the utility in the link I used to get everything working on my Fiances phone. I don't know a whole lot but I sure have learned enough to save that phone from being a total brick. In my case the phone would only boot to fast boot it was so messed up.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Florestan2:
OK - giving it a shot. Gimme 2 minutes and I'll post back with results.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Xaikar:
What kind of errors?

When you do the fastboot erase system

There is no rom on there anymore at all. We should be able to get this up an running as long as the battery doesnt die.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Florestan2:
ugh- operation fails when trying the first step. Says:

FAILED (remote: )

finished. total time: 0.961s
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Xaikar:
It fails on fastoobt erase recovery?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Florestan2:
I ran his util 1.6, chose option 1. Util started to do it's thing and there are several steps it goes through. Some of them said FAILED. Can't remember which, sorry. I know I should have kept track of which files, but didn't. :(

---------- Post added at 11:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------

Yes
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Xaikar:
Yeah I was to the point where the utility wouldn't flash because the battery was too dead.

So it fails on

fastboot erase recovery?

Also pm me. So we don't spam this thread
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Florestan2:
Ok - update time:

A few things to note:

1 - remember to not panic or do anything irrational

2- when all else fails, use Matt's DRU.

Xaikar helped me out quite a bit. We hashed out several different attempts to get my phone into a usable state. Unfortunately, his posted method of fastboot options didn't work. I kept getting failure errors with each and every type of attempt.

Oddly, I was getting errors when using Matt's DRU 1.6 also. The first 2 times. On the 3rd attempt (with no other significant changes), matt's utility finally got me into Android recovery. So I was finallly able to wipe cache / data / and factory data reset. Another saving grace was that I had the ICS .211 update on my SD EXT card still, so I could simply then flash that.

After 10 minutes of painfully waiting to see what is going to happen, the magical mystical blue ICS welcome screen finally popped up. Now it's off to re setup my entire phone. Not my idea of fun, but at least Titanium Backup has all the apps still.

cheers, and thanks Xaikar.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dvainsa:
What option did you chose on Matt's DRU?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Florestan2:
Option 1. Several times.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] olegausa:
Managed it to work

I was in exactly same situation and was getting same errors but finally patience helped me to get my phone in battery charging state.

First of all you are right about using DRU. Bot what is even more important that system is not only thing required to get battery charging screen to appear you require to have webtop which could be transferred using following command

moto-fastboot flash webtop grfs.img

Yes i used moto-fastboot since DRU uses it to do flashing and after successful flash I restarted into menu and selected BP Tools and red M logo appeared first and than after about 30 seconds screen with battery show up so now my battery charging as I'm writing this

cheers, and thanks Xaikar.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dvainsa:
where can I find moto-fastboot?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Xaikar:
If its in a folder with fast boot just type fastboot not moto-fastboot
[Motorola Droid RAZR] olegausa:
By the way since DRU 1.51, 1.6 and 1.7 have problem writing system and recovery giving well known 'Preflash verification failed' error i did try erase command hopping this will help but got 'Command restricted' message

Dude!! Thank you so so much! I thought I had turned my droid razr maxx into a $400 paper weight!

I was searching and reading and pressing buttons for over 5 hours on a dying phone. These steps worked like a charm!

Thank you so much!

Only difference for me was the second last step (fastboot erase system) didn't work at first. It went back to battery low. So I did the pwr+volup+voldown for 10sec, followed by volup+voldown to get the menu and chose AP Fastboot to make it show Battery OK. Then did the last step and everything was fine.

Again...Thank you!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Soul17:
Thank u!!!!

Worked first try! took me straight out of bootloop thank you again

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Lincoln357:
I've been struggling with this phone for months and trust me, I've tried EVERYTHING but couldn't get it to boot. It was on stock ICS, rooted when a friend tried to flash custom rom via BMM and he bricked it so hard that there was nothing left: no recovery, no boot or system partitions, nothing, only boot menu with options where only fast boot was working. I tried every possible method out there but nothing worked, reporting issues with cdt.bin, pre flash failure, etc...Battery drained, of course, so I had to make factory cable. And this agony continued until last night, when I deleted CID and flashed it again with some Taiwanese ICS using RSD Lite...common failure with cdt.bin on step 6 didn't show and after flashing M logo showed up and hanged there for like 20 mins and phone rebooted only to this again. So I went into boot menu and chose BP Tools and voila! Phone booted into ICS! So, this was the only way for me to make it work.

Warning!

By deleting CID (country ID) you can flash any firmware ( I'm from Serbia, Europe, phone is XT910K from S. Korea, and I flashed Taiwanese stock lol) but :

-you can only boot your phone from BP Tools

-there will be a Customer ID error message on every boot

-my battery icon is showing only ? symbol, and widgets are showing battery at 100% all the time

-wifi is often dropping connection

I'm typing from RAZR now and everything else works fine, now will flash some custom rom properly to see what's going on.

Hope this helps a bit.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] apharasi:
Thanks alot for your help! My Razr is showing Low battery now so i need to find the time to make a factory cable now. Just a couple questions, I was already on Jellybean 4.12, will it still work if i flash ICS? Also, could you send me a link to where you found the firm ware? Lastly, from where do i delete the CID?

Thanks :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Lincoln357:
You cannot flash ICS if you were on JB, it can't be downgraded. Find your firmware at sbf-developers, you have retail and branded versions, pick one or google out tutorial for unbricking JB, where it's stated which fw you need to use. I deleted CID from fastboot, but I think there are some executable files to find. Remember, Google is your friend! :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MizuhoChan:
I've noticed that when I plug my S into my laptop at college, I get a slightly better signal than without, which is actually no 3g signal at all. So I was wondering if there is anything I can plug into the phones usb port to boost my signal while in low signal areas?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
No, what you're saying is just a coincidence.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
Only a baseband change could boost the signal and I read somewhere the kernel.

I can guarantee you it isn't a coincidence.

I've been going to college for months and never had a 3g signal. I borrowed a cable to charge my phone up, since I never take mine in and suddenly, I was getting 1.7Mbps if I positioned it the right way.

But if there isn't anything, then I guess I'll stick to the way I'm doing it now.
