Can you still go to recovery? If you can reflash CM9 to get CWM back. If you don't flash a new kernel with odin
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_electric_ant:
Well... if you install a new ROM your recovery gets lost so you'll have to flash it again anyway.

I've built a new recovery. Could someone test it? Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwlE_OdJFnPgLUdUcG55R0dUMGs/edit#

You can flash it using broodplank's Quick Flasher or with dd command. Flash it at your own risk.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] DamiiaanT:
Hey guys, I have recently unlocked my droidinc2 bootloader through the htcdev website, got root and tried to flash a rom. However, I didn't know that the htcdev unlock had many problems along with it, and so I ended up stuck on the white htc screen, not being able to boot up properly after flashing a rom. I can access recovery, but my computer cannot detect the phone so I can't use adb/fastboot commands. I know I should've done some research before doing what I did, im sorry for that :X. So far I tried factory resetting, wiping the data and dalvik cache etc but nothing seems to work. Btw, will flashing the "PG32IMG.zip" through bootloader work? I saw somewhere that it has problems with phones that unlocked through HTC. Any way I can fix this problem? Many thanks...

hello my fellow galaxy s3 users, your humble newbie here have called upon you...:cyclops:

since im really new in the Android world, and since i sold my iphone4, and i just bought galaxy s3, so i need help on everything about rooting an android device.:o

Usually i have jailbroken my iphone4 perfectly.

my questions are :

What are the main purpose on rooting? what can i get ?:confused:

Why root ? (since you can easily install cracked apps and 3rd parties without rooting, not like so called IOS)

How ? :( (please be kind enough to show me the way ow my dear android lords):D

Rooting your phone means that you have full access and control to root of your phone..

You probably won't need it and probably if you are not aware of it can cause risk with no reasons. It's full of thread of bricked phone..

What I mean is that, Rooting process is easy, if you read post as suggested by other users in this thread, but if you are happy with your phone and do not feel any specific need to be solved with root do not do it.

One day you will find an app or a specific thing like "wow I love that modded Rom" which work only with rooting.. and so you will root your phone.

That's what happened to me 2 years ago and here in xda I found always all the answers to my issue!

No option to "disable recovery flash"

I just got my brand new Galaxy S3 will Jelly bean and followed the instructions on this site.

Everything went fine and until Step 4

Using the custom recovery flash I installed the clockwork mod from my external SD card.

However the instructions say:

"•Upon exiting your custom recovery to reboot first time, you will be asked if you want to "Disable recovery flash", you MUST select Yes"

The problem is that when I exit to reboot I do not get the option to "Disable recovery flash", The phone just reboots.

I assume the phone recovery flashes when it reboots. How can I tell?

What are my options to continue?
[HTC EVO 3D] 72andrew72:
So... first of all.. i'm relocked, hboot 1.5xx, s-off, official ics

This morning I switched on my evo, looked at time and then suddenly screen came black..

Only sensor buttons worked

Then I tried to remove the battery and power on again

Display was OK but just for a few seconds.. then it began blinking or came black again.. I tried factory reset but no working..

Now screen isn't working, but i can hear HTC sound when i power it on.

Sensor button vibrating when i touch them..

Is it screen failure? Where can I buy new(original would be better) touchscreen?

Or I should try to post it to shop for repair (i think im not under warranty)?

thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
If you plan on replacing the screen yourself, I'd open it up first and check all the ribbon cables and make sure they are secure. I've had something that simple happen on an HD2 repair. Was set to replace the whole screen and digitizer and the only thing wrong was the digitizers flex cable came loose.
[HTC EVO 3D] 72andrew72:
I can blindly unlock my screen so i think digitizer is OK, isnt it?

All i just need is this or? http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OEM-HTC...664?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item336a5156f0
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
Yeah....but what I'm saying is check before buying it.

Because it could be as simple as the LCD screens flex cable coming loose from the motherboard of the phone. So all you'd have to do is plug it back in and apply some tape.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MytouchVictor:
I'm completely new to this forum and like to apologize upfront if I happen to post this in the wrong section. However, my Mytouch 3g(not under warranty anymore) decided to pretty much stop working. No matter what I do, all I can manage is to make the LED light turn blue, red, or blue. However, I have also managed to install the bootloader onto my computer( no clue what that does). So, basically I want to know if there is any hope for phone,or is it a useless brick. :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NielDK:
Not too much info to work on, but Found this that helped some before:

On the QWERTY keyboard, press and hold the left "SHIFT" key.

While holding the left "SHIFT" key, press and release the power/lock button of the phone.

From there, your phone should turn on.

Note: The power/lock button will not work any longer. However, it will still work if you use the same instructions of turning on your phone. That means, you might get annoyed locking your phone because the locking process may lag. In addition, you will see some lag when loading the "Power Off" menu.

If this doesn't work:

Instead of holding the left "SHIFT" key, press and hold the left "FN" key.

While holding the left "FN" key, press and release the power/lock button.

From there, your phone should turn on.

If this still doesn't work, try doing the same thing with other keys or any other button on the phone. Good luck!
[Networking] Djezpur:
This is driving me insane!

When I have WiFi enabled at the office, my Samsung Galaxy Note (stock ICS, rooted) constantly receives incoming data and I haven't got a clue which setting, app or service is causing this.

SystemPanel registers a nonstop stream of incoming traffic at 8 to 10 Kbps.

TrafficStats shows an accumulation of Received data under Total WiFi, but can't seem to link it a particular app or service: after resetting the data, no processes appear but the incoming data keeps on growing.

All sync options are off, I've tried to kill every running app or service (one by one, all at once), I've tried to block all traffic using Droidwall. As soon as WiFi is enabled, the incoming stream is unstoppable. When switching to 3G, there's no incoming traffic.

But to make matters even more mysterious, I do not have this problem with my WiFi connection at home.

It only occurs at the office, only on WiFi and (as far as I know) only on my phone.

Any ideas?
[Networking] johnride:
This is simply because your wifi antenna still "hears" the data going trough the wireless network on wich you are connecter. Event if your phone doesn't asks for any data at the moment the traffic there is on the network will still be counted by the wifi chip on your phone.

It will be the same on any public network or if you have another phone or a computer connecter on the same wireless router and generating traffic.
[Networking] Djezpur:
Thanks for replying, John!

That sounds very plausible, but then I still have to figure out why only my phone is registering this traffic - maybe it's an ICS thing or brand specific?

And I'll try to 'reproduce' it at home by connecting a laptop at the same time.
[Networking] MrObvious:
I think that the above is correct. That may be default behavior.
[Networking] Djezpur:
Well, I've tried to connect several devices at once on my home WiFi network, but it did not reproduce the incoming traffic problem I experience at work.

There were a few incoming bytes registered, not nearly as much as the constant stream of 10 Kbps at the office network...
[Networking] MrObvious:
Your works wifi may be set up like that. Who Knows?
[Networking] Djezpur:
Well, our it-department certainly does not. ;)

You're probably right that this is normal behavior. I'll just have to figure out which drains less battery under these circumstances, WiFi or 3G. Thanks anyway for replying.
[Networking] MrObvious:
I'm on the mobile app, but if you have GSM then just switch to 2g until you use it.
[Networking] johnride:
About this, it is simply that at your office there is traffic on the network (download/upload) while at home simply having devices connected doesn't generate traffic or almost none. Start several dl on several devices (phone laptop) (guess 2-3 is enough, maybe even one but not sure, not en expert after all :P ) then you should notice signifficant traffic on your phone, I guess!
[Networking] kalinusa:
So interesting I find this thread because I have the exact same problem!!!!

How I noticed it...when I am at home I drop 1% battery on Wifi per hour. 10hours = 10% (sometimes less).

I go to work on the Wifi, I DONT USE ANYTHING ON THE PHONE and the battery is DRAINING LIKE CRAZY!!! 5%/h or more!!!

( I am in airplane mode in both place)

So I was thinking, WTF with this work wifi, i am not doing anything at all on it. Then I look at my wifi icon I have a constant RECEIVE icon. And I bet my phone does not go to sleep or something.

So why in the world my work wifi is draining my battery and the one at home is not. I will check tonight but I dont think I have traffic like this. I am registering 5-6kbytes/s for nothing. The explanation given above is hands-waving. I do not agree with it fully. YEs sure there are several pings and beacon emitted back and forth but i do not think it is enough to cause 5-6kbytes/sec . The wifi is not in Monitor mode and it only receives the packets destined to my phone.

This is madness!!!! BTW When I had a different kernel on back on ICS this behavior stopped. I will try to monitor again.
[Networking] Djezpur:
Hey kalinusa, did you find a solution to this problem?

I'm currently on the SpeedMod kernel, but that does not seem to make a difference to the 'office WiFi behavior' (so I keep my phone on mobile data).
[Networking] C_Adamanteus:
I don't want to speak out of my ass, because I haven't a clue how the app works.

As far as I can guess SSH tunnel may help you. I would hope someone else could tell me I'm right, but I'm probably wrong.
[Networking] crazygameofpoker:
I have had this same problem with two of my devices. The first is a Samsung Captivate with the last AOKP ICS build. The second is a Google Nexus 7 with AOKP's first Jelly Bean build (it happened when I had stock as well).

This only happens when I'm connected to WiFi at my university. The down arrow on the WiFi icon is ALWAYS on and it drains the battery. At home, I don't have these problems.

I emailed my university's IT department but I'm not sure if there's anything they can do. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
[Networking] danielo:
I have exactly the same problem, but I think I found the reason which is causing it. I think that some of the routers are capable of the multicast over the wifi and then we can get a constant wifi traffic. I tested it at home, where I have enabled multicast over wifi and my phone wifi receiving the data all the time, even if it is in sleep. Now I'm in the office where we do not have such capable router with multicast over wifi and my phone wifi behavior is as expected. When I will be at home I will test it again with my router and with disabled multicast over wifi and hopefully it will solve this issue.
[Networking] SwordfishCZ:
More than multicasts it could be broadcasts, what are you reaceiving. For example if you don't use WINS server in Windows domain, all computers use broadcast to get IP address for a computer name (if you dont use DNS name, but that's another story). At home, where aren't many computers, there are very few broadcasts. But somewhere, where a large amount of computers is on the same network (not splitted to broadcast domais), number of broadcasts would dramatically increase
[Networking] SwordfishCZ:
btw. if you connect a PC to the same network as your phone and stop ALL running applications (mainly instant messangers, web browsers, e-mail clients) you should see the same network bandwidth in use as on your cell phone.
[Networking] post-mortem:
Interesting. Roughly how many devices would need to be on the same network, to see that kind of traffic load?

-- Sent from my TouchPad using Communities
[Networking] SwordfishCZ:
It depends on what you consier as network load. If you start a network monitor like Wireshark or MS Network monitor and even if there is one computer on the network, you wil see "some" traffic (from time to time a few network packets). To generate constant network load, you'll need a few dozens of computers. And it always depends on how the network is designed and what applications the computers run. If all computers connect to a server, the network load will be a lot lower than if the computers share resources among them.

Or you can design your network in such way, that you divide computers into segments, where computers can communicate only with computers in its segment (or with some distant servers). This way the network load will dramatically decrease, as computers from different segments would not interfere.
[Networking] Spz0:
I currently only have one computer connected to my home network atm via wifi, and it keeps a constant broadcast going to my phone for some unknown reason. I thought it was my dlna server, so I shut that off, and it is still broadcasting _something_... Its causing quite a battery drain, and unfortunately I cant seem to find the root of the issue. I've trolled through my router settings -- multicasting isnt on -- so Im at a loss. =\
[Networking] danielo:
It can be caused also with the Media servers which runs on PC, also DHCP etc. It is not easy to eliminate all broadcast traffic and sadly our phones react at all that multicast packets.
[Networking] Spz0:
Agreed.

I ruled out my DLNA server and home network sharing. So it could be dhcp traffic, but that wouldnt amount to a constant downstream under normal circumstances.

The only thing I havent tried yet (since my PC is on wifi) is running my connection via cat-5 cable instead of wifi card -- but I doubt that would make a difference.

~Cheers
[Networking] mangocat1:
Ive had this problem and tracked it down to a PC that's hard wired into my home network. Shutting the PC off or disconnecting the cat 5 cable stops the rogue data transfer instantly. Thinking a format c: will solve it ;)
[Networking] Blondboy47:
Found the problem here, at least

Thanks mangocat and others. I had the same exact prob. as most reporting here and hundreds of megs being "downloaded" to nowhere, on our 2 phones:

Samsung Galaxy S2

Samsung Galaxy Note 2

When you mentioned that you traced it down to a PC, that set me off thinking... so I started unplugging things on my network.

My network does have 3 wireless routers and a whole bunch of devices.

I disconnected the main internet from the principle router.... no change.

I checked the PVR and 2 other computers..... no change.

Then, I went to the 3rd router and disconnected all cables except power... I discovered that 1 cable, when disconnected, stopped the downloading traffic.

I traced that cable and found the problem!!! That cable connects directly to one of my Cisco WVC210 security cameras.

I then remembered that a week or 2 ago, I tried to set the cam up for internet streaming.

I accessed the camera and what did I see? MULTICASTING enabled!!! I unchecked that, saved... and instantly, the phone had no more download arrow. YAY!!!: D :laugh: PROBLEM SOLVED!

So this problem does appear to be "something" multicasting on networks.

Thanks so much to you for triggering my brain and to the others who mentioned multicasting.

P.S. I'm a noob so like the emoticons.. OK! ;)

Oh yeah, forgot to mention. My carrier is Wind Mobile. They had no idea how to fix this and have had ppl calling about it. So they sent me directly to Samsung.

WELL!!! They "never heard of this" *cough*.... so no real response other than return the phones to be "fixed". WOW!

When I found the fix, here anwyay, I wanted to share that with both of them to help others out there who clearly are or will have this problem.

I ended up just hanging up because, beside the language barrier, they couldn't move away from the script. So that translates to not even interested in obtaining info that could help others. Gotta love companies' support people, huh...
[Networking] Djezpur:
Thanks Blondboy47 and others for your info.

I guess the WiFi at my office has multicasts enabled as well, however I can't control its settings (and probably won't convince the IT-department to look at the problem).

So I'm still looking for a way to make my android device (Samsung Galaxy Note - N7000) block or filter these multicast wifi packets.

I'm not a dev, so I'm just making wild guesses here. But apparently there's a setting in \system\etc\firmware\wlan\qcom_cfg.ini which just might lead to a solution:

# Flags to filter Mcast abd Bcast RX packets.
# Value 0: No filtering, 1: Filter all Multicast.
# 2: Filter all Broadcast. 3: Filter all Mcast abd Bcast
McastBcastFilter=0

But my ROM (Slim Bean 3.1.0) does not have this file at all...

Any ideas?
[Networking] post-mortem:
Try adding the file. It might be ignored, or it might actually work.
[Networking] Djezpur:
As expected, it didn't have any effect... :rolleyes:
