[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emma129:
I have searched this forum for help on my specific problem but can't find anything that will help...i rooted my husbands s3 (ics v 4.04) without any problems using odin, flashed successfully, installed busy box, all ok, then i installed font installer (root), tried changing the font, it said it had done it successfully and that it needed to reboot to finish installing, so i rebooted and now the phone won't go past the samsung logo with the blue led light on the top staying on and kind of going dull and bright.

i've tried resetting the phone and also clearing the cache but this doesn't help either, i've also tried to reflash the file with odin, it again says successful but it still won't go past the samsung logo.

if anyone can help please do as im unsure where to go from here, same thing happened when i tried to root my s2 but i was able to fix it with help and files from this forum
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
Now since you have already performed factory reset, is it possible to flash stock rom using PC odin again?

I am having the exact same problem as OP. It's funny, I thought NO ONE would possibly have the exact same problem as me. Only difference is I am on AT&T's SGS3 and I also hit Reboot Now after installation. Looks like i soft bricked it at Samsung splash screen. Could someone PM me or reply with assistance. I can get into download mode. I cannot get into recovery mode to factory reset, clear cache, etc. Searched and searched many threads with countless questions and non specific to my problem.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xation:
Hey guys.

I just got my i535 Galaxy S III a few days back, and decided to root it. Paranoia wasn't for me, so I tried CM10. Somewhere along the lines of that, my 4G stops workings. Luckily, I already backed up my IMEI.

I've been trying for a few hours to fix it. I already used the following methods of "fix":

Restoring backup from CWM

Going back to (rooted) stock,

Changing my Mobile Networks settings around,

Phone Info (Couldn't honestly find out what to edit in there, or if anything WAS editable),

restoing IMEI

From what I can see, I have my IMEI, MEID, and phone status reads: "Normal". Yet, when I look at my bars, I get 3 of 3G, instead of my usual (and what my other galaxy S III devices are running currently.)

Samsung's firmware mirror site is down at the moment, so I haven't tried that last resort before returning to Verizon, but do you guys have any thoughts?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johndv:
I have a similar issue - except my phone does not recognize the verizon network. I was rooted with CM9. i've since replaced the SIM and flashed to factory rom. I am seeing my IMEI number, so I don't think that's an issue (right?).

I took it to the verizon store and they want to trade it in, which i am fine with

My biggest concern is removing any trace of root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tprouty:
I had the same issue when going into cm9, got a new sim yesterday and I got my 4G back.

I have an unrooted Xperia S and I am trying to download a game.

Here's my problem:

When I connect my phone to my PC, I am attemping to find the "obb" folder into the "Android" one, to copy the game DATA in there but with no success! I can't find that folder and Im pretty sure that it's not hidden, it may be located elsewhere or I need to copy data files to another folder.

I have downloaded a lot of games such as NOVA 3 (which downloads its DATA via wi-fi) but the obb folder seems like it doesn't exist.

Could you help me find where the game DATA folders are located? Thanks in advance..

*Xperia S doesn't have card slot so there isn't SD card inserted. Everything is stored in its internal memory (32gb).

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] magnemann:
Hi, I wonder whats normal battery usage (% per hour) to expect on the x10 mini pro whrn idle? Battery is manufactured in 2010 week 37, but i just bought it from a webshop.

This is my girlfriends phone and she never remembers to charge it. Right now im on MiniCM7 2.2.1-mimmi, naa13 kernel.

I use "My Battery Drain Analyzer" and during night/idle it uses 2,5%/h.

All data and synch is off, only phone radio is on.

BetterBatteryStats shows deep sleep all the way, Cant see anyting eating battery.

Can it be the baseband/radio?

Greatful for any advice to get out of charging-hell.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anancr:
I must say that, there isn't a standard answer for that, because there are variables that vary from user to user, for example, provider, network coverage, signal intensity, etc.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] demoniacs:
mine without mod was like ~5% per hour. now it can last up to 2 days if used normally. but my normal might be different from yours
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] magnemann:
Finally, thanks for the 'number'. :) On my Galaxy nexus i got 0,3%/h. So i hope for perhaps under 1%/h at the x10 mini pro.

Do you remember what mod you used?

Tonight I'll try to turn off the radio to see how much batt it uses.

Is it possible to to install a custom radio/baseband/RIL best for norway? Hm. :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] demoniacs:
im running minicm7 by naa right now because it has lost of performance tweaks. before that i just rooted my phone and install juice defender. it drainned ~3% per hour saving me a few minutes. now with the custom rom and kernel, it will last more than a day.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] manthes:
without overclocking,wifi on and min/max governor it is about 1% per hour. for 8 hours it drains 8-10% max

If the phone does not turn on there are not many options. Still can do below:

1. Check battery or try another battery if possible

2. Get help from service center if you are under warranty

3. if not only Jig or Jtag and sometime with the combination of re-partition can help.

I have provided more details in the thread below. There is at least one member who have revived his Note from hardbrick caused by emmc bug as well. So look for more info in that thread. Hope it helps.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arbiter:
Okay, well the title should be pretty self explanatory I hope, but here's what I'm looking for:

A way to install TWRP and FireFireFire 1.4 on a Kindle Fire using a Mac (OS X 10.7.4 Lion if anyone wants to know).

I know that you should install TWRP only through fastboot then use TWRP to flash FFF and your custom ROM.

I also know there's something about modifying Android SDK drivers to make ADB and fastboot work properly with the Kindle Fire.

I am not looking for any sort of one-click solution. I once jailbroke my iPhone using a simple one-click, it didn't turn out well. Fortunately iPhones are almost always fixed by an iTunes restore. Did it using redsn0w after that, it was better. I manually installed homebrew on my Wii as well, which is more complex than redsn0w and more of an actual manual install. Wii homebrew works beautifully.

Anyways, I'm against one-clicks/simple rooters/jailbreakers because it seems like if even one thing is out of place, they mess things up.

I want to manually do this, and I know there's a way to. I just need to install Android SDK, I can do that. Modify the drivers, this is the thing I need the most assistance with, because I don't know how to do it and I know tools like KFU do it automatically. And of course, I want to manually use pokey9000's fbmode to get into fastboot, then flash TWRP, then get into TWRP, flash FFF and my custom ROM.

Anyone who could help me with this, I'd greatly appreciate it!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Well I see you don't want the easy solution but maybe part of this will help you with the drivers easily http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1790139 then its just a matter of fastboot flashing twrp.img and fff.bin to your kindle. From that point you enter recovery make a backup. I suggest reboot after this. transfer a ROM zip and gapps zip of your choice to the root of your sdcard. Boot back to recovery- factory reset, -wipe cache, -wipe dalvik,-wipe system,-flash ROM,-flash gapps- select reboot then select system if prompted enjoy:)

Take some time read these to threads since the hard way makes you happy familiarize yourself with what needs to be done and how to do it so you are always in the safe zone http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1552547 and this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1638452 kinfauns took a lot of time to compile these threads to build awareness I believe he as well is on Mac just a guess. Some of this is a little gauged to windows but the concept is relatively the same so I have been told. I'm on windows myself and I understand that on Mac and Linux drivers aren't a problem as they are on windows. Good luck don't be afraid to ask more questions before you leap others out there have more experience with Mac than I:)

Edit: And note that I said fff.bin is the file you fastboot flash not a zip a zip file will break your bootloader severely unless you flash in recovery then a zip is the desired file type. Research is good prevents mishaps:)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arbiter:
BreakDroid is one of those "one click" solutions I'm really trying to keep away from. I know that installing a custom bootloader + recovery is just a matter of having your computer properly recognize the Kindle Fire as an ADB interface, which I need to modify drivers for. I need to know how to modify drivers.

After that, it's just that I need to get into fastboot and I've got it from there.

Well, since you want a complex approach, may as well go with Firekit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1430038&highlight=firekit (install_fff_twrp_from_stock)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
I simply just said to use breakdroid for the driver install I didn't suggest you use it for anything else but with drivers I'm sure there are plenty of driver setup tutorials for Mac and the kindle fire so Google is your friend. Read the very first sentence of my first post seems you overlooked that;)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue71:
Breakdroid works great though is simple and installs exactly what you need. From there you have twrp and can flash away.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arbiter:
Actually from what I've seen on various tutorials, ones about rooting, they always have instructions for Windows to install drivers but most of them instruct Mac / Linux to skip that step, then Mac / Linux picks back up where you're already issuing ADB and fastboot commands. I feel totally stupid if I've overlooked this, but if it's actually possible to skip this step that'd be so much easier.

Also I did read your first post. But when looking at BreakDroid I saw nothing specific about installing drivers, just that it was supposed to be a simple tool where you go through each step.

All simple tools are meant to work great. Unfortunately, they just don't sometimes.

Is there anyone who has actually rooted a Kindle Fire on Mac or Linux here that can verify you don't need to do anything with drivers? And that just installing the Android SDK is sufficient to proceed?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
Very true. The unfortunate part is when users of these tools have no idea how to get themselves out of trouble, but I digress...

Here's a guide for setting up a Linux environment...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1475740

All you really need for Linux are the binaries (adb/fastboot) and /root/.android/adb_usb.ini with 0x1949 in it. Once you have those, you just need to run the binaries as root. The other things in that guide sets things up so a user without root privileges can access the USB ports and set paths to those binaries. There are no "drivers" in the Windows sense to be installed and you don't need to install the SDK if you can find those binaries elsewhere.

I'm confident the setup will be similar to Mac OS X, but udev is linux specific. I don't know what the Mac OS X equivalents are because I've always used virtual machines with Linux or Windows to interact with the KF. Regardless, you should still be able to use them as root and issue commands to the KF.

Thepooch gave you links to my guides... whichever OS you decide to use, all of the fastboot and adb commands will be the same. You just need to swap out the directory path conventions from Windows to Linux/Mac OS X.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arbiter:
Thanks for your help! Thanks for everyone's help actually! You all contributed somehow, and thanks to you I successfully installed FFF 1.4a, TWRP 2.2.0, and Jandycane 7-29 on my Kindle Fire! Awesome so far, thanks guys!
