[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shanadoo:
Had the same problem yesterday.. no new apps or anything. Looks like I solved it by emptying my photo roll. Suspecting it could be a video I recently filmed. The thumbnail was all black, so guessing that was the culprit.

Edit: And just after typing this I noticed Media was up at 20% usage again. :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] member68:
The problem started happening again. It's really hard to pinpoint this problem. For me, it only happens charging, but not when the phone is unplugged. I hope this is a rom issue which gets resolved in the next version.

Are u using viber or something similar? I never saw mediaserver in battery hog list unless i started using viber
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] member68:
I've never even heard of Viber. I might have a different issue though since I don't have a constant wake lock. Whenever my phone started acting up, I found a lot of repeating logcat messages related to the media scanner. It might be something completely different though.

If you want your information stolen, hacked, or get scammed then you should try it and let us know. Trust me I learned the hard way and I wasn't pleasant. If it is too good to be true than it probably is. :silly:

If you do decide to order then here is what my prediction is going to be. After completing the order (this is after they get all your info), you receive and email saying they are out of stock and they'll have to cancel your order. You'll be like darn but go with your life. Weeks or months later down the road, BAM! your credit cards gets an unauthorized charge and the nightmare begins. One advice I can give you from my ordeal is that you should never trust online retailers no matter how authentic it looks (the website looks way fishier compared to the one the got me) and should only stick with proven vendors like Amazon, Google Play Store,Staples, Office Depot, etc.

Follow those instructions, or get a USB jig off ebay to reset. The jig works on this phone, I used mine to clear that padlock and erase the flash counter.

No flash for jig. You turn off phone, plug into usb and it does its thing automatically.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Broadley1:
jig

can you give me a break down on what i would have to do when i get the jig.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] &roid:
Like I said, literally turn your phone off, once it's off completely, plug in jig. Jig will turn your phone back on automatically and put it in download mode. It will then erase the flash counter. You'll need to then pull the battery, and when you turn back on, lock will be gone. Good as new.

[General Questions and Answers] Protozaur:
Hi,

the fprum rules are forcing me to open a separate topic about my Lenovo A750 as I'm not allowed to post reply in "dev topics". I do not understand how users with less than 10 post can reply in that topic yet I cannot o_O

anyway.

I try to install A750_S306_120530_cybermaus_ICS_V1. The howto is saying I should put the zip on SD card and boot in CWRM:

The problem is, I cannot access the external SD card. Message is "

cannot mount /sd-ext

" [NB A750 has one card embedded and another "external"].

I put the archives [ICS v1 and the patc, v1.3] on

internal

SD and was able to navigate and launch those. however, instructions said to reboot and wait to complete.

I waited for 30 mins -- nothing completed :((

Please advice.

Hoping that someone will care to share,

Thanks in advance.

[General Questions and Answers] cybermaus:
What ROM do you have installed currently? You do need to install V0 using flash method first, so that you have a proper recovery.

If you do already indeed have the recovery partition, and that is not mounting the SD card, then I am not sure, I did not pack/unpack the recovery, so I am not sure whats in there and how they are related.

But I do suspect that since the recovery is working for others, and since the recovery is pretty much self contained (iow, not influenced by my ROM), that you may have a problem with your SD card or slot itself.

Hi,

I'm also not allowed to post in the main A750 thread (cybermause's).

I'm currently on A750_S306_120530_cybermaus_ICS_V1.

i tried Apkhot_lenovo750_4.0.4_0623_YS_V3_Smilevvv and Apkhot_lenovo750_4.0.4_0707_Smilevvv, both were very fast and i liked '0707' for it's

lock screen and the launcher.

But the problem was i couldn't sign-in to any google app (google play, gmail, youtube.....). i installed those apps from the sd card, some didn't start

and for the other's i couldn't sign-in.

i tried to use the cybermause v1.2 patch, but at the end i got back to 4.0.3

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vinscuzzy:
I just got my replacement(after a hard brick trying JB) and I've got a few questions before I brick this one too:

1. Ive decided to odin EL29 EVERY TIME I want to flash a new rom, just to be safe. If I use CMW with EL29 and decide to try out CM9, Do I always need to flash a aokp kernel? Or is that built into the CM9 install?

2. If I like CM9, and want to make a nandroid backup of it, do I need to Odin back to EL29 first to back it up? Or is it safe to do it with the recovery that comes with CM9?

3. If the answer to #2 is yes, meaning I do have to odin back to EL29, how do I restore my backup? Let me explain:Lets say I flash CM9, make a nandroid of CM9, then decide to try out say a different rom, like a TW rom. Then I hate the TW rom and wanna restore my backup of CM9. Do I need to ODIN back to EL29 to restore the nandroid? I read in the "how not to brick my..." thread its bad to restore a ICS rom from a GB Kernel. Can someone please explain?

Ive really, really tried to search and read as much as possible before asking, but a lot of the threads are old and have contradicting information. Sorry for being so noobish but I dont wanna brick my new phone. I come from Evo, Evo3d, Hp Touchpad, etc, where there arent as many issues to flash customs roms. Ive rooted and flashed custom roms ever since the PPC6600, 100's of times and NEVER had a problem. Sorry, this just really confuses me for some reason!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
You really don't need to Odin back to el29 but if you wanna play it safe and not brick just Odin the el26 kernel and flash from there thats all you can flash from internal and from external, I don't have anything against other devs ics kernel but I just like to keep it safe even if I'm on a jb from I use the kernel that's on that jb kernel to flash the el26 reboot recovery and start flashing or restoring backups I do use the ics or jb kernels to flash but not to flash roms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
A kernel is already included with CM9, so there's no need to flash anything else. However, if you'd like to use one of chris41g's custom kernels like RC10-CWM6 or RC11-TWRP, you're welcome to flash them during your ROM flash session or after the fact.

It's always safe to make a Nandroid backup, regardless of the kernel/recovery on your phone. Where a problem could potentially arise is on a Nandroid restore, because the restore function formats the EMMC. However, it should be perfectly safe to restore a Nandroid backup using the kernel/recovery included with CM9. The bottom line is, you want to make sure that if the kernel/recovery on your phone that your using to restore the backup is based on ICS, that it's been properly patched for EMMC lock safety.

If you want to be extra careful, and only use a GB based kernel/recovery like EL26 to restore your Nandroid backups, you would Mobile Odin the EL26 kernel+CWM, hold down the power button or pull the battery on the reboot, then boot into that recovery and restore your backup. Whatever kernel/recovery was in your backup will overwrite the EL26 kernel and that will be the new kernel/recovery on your phone when you reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vinscuzzy:
Thanks for the quick responses. Still kinda confused. :angel:

Do I have to use mobile Odin for what you explained in #3? And is mobile Odin as safe as pc Odin?

And, would it be safe to have the el26 kernel on my card and just flash that(with recovery, not odin) everytime I wanna do any flashing/wiping?

I feel so stupid!! Maybe someone could write down THEIR step by step "safe" procedure on flashing/wiping a new rom and backing up/restoring, and ill just follow that. :laugh:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Here's the step by step safe method

1: get mobile Odin or mobile Odin pro

2: download the flash kernel from mobile Odin pro

2a: if using mobile Odin download the flash kernel for sph-d710 from chainfires mobile Odin thread

3: download el26+cwm kernel.tar to your PC

4: copy kernel to SD card and keep a copy on your PC in case of an oh sh!t moment

5: download a cm9 compatible kernel.zip(you will need this in recovery)

6: backup mobile Odin and it's data in titanium backup or similar app

7: open mobile Odin and choose the el26+cwm kernel.tar

8: flash kernel.tar with flash firmware option in mobile Odin

9: when the device reboots hold vol+ and power til you boot to recovery(or pull battery then boot to recovery)

10: flash cm9 kernel.zip in recovery

11: make nandroid backup

12: reboot to cm9

12a: if you forgot to flash the cm9 kernel before making the nandroid flash it now to boot cm9

12b: if kernel wasn't flashed before making nandroid, when u restore the nandroid flash the kernel before rebooting.

13: profit!

These steps work for any rom 4.0.3 and above with very minimal chance of bricking, since el26+cwm is considered immune to the brick bug

We are legion, for we are many.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
I think it's been proven via user experience that Mobile Odin is a safe as PC Odin. In fact, one could make the argument that its safer, as there's no way to kick out the cord during a flash, or stick the wrong file in the wrong slot. The only negative to it is it will not flash modem files on CDMA devices like ours.

Mobile Odin is generally preferred to temp flash a GB kernel because 1) it's easier and 2) it doesn't trigger the yellow triangle or increase the Odin flash count like PC Odin does when you flash a kernel that has not been signed by Samsung. So while being easier, MO makes life even easier by not having to fix those two issues later.

So with that said, yes it's a good idea to keep the EL26+CWM5.zip file on your sd card at all times. Mine is always there, hanging out and drinking beers with Calkulin's Format All zip.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vinscuzzy:
Awesome man, thanks so much for clarifying!

So from here on out, if want to flash ANY other rom, aosp or TW, I'd:

Follow steps 7-9, then wipe(data,cache,dalvik) then flash the rom right?

And if I'm NOT making a nandroid backup, skip 10-12?

Also, should steps 7-9 be repeated if I'm restoring a backup?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
I mobile odin the el26 kernel for testing the Jelly Bean roms but since I have not been returning to stock and only going between CM9 Nightlies I have been doing it from CWM 1 or more times a day. CM9 alpha 6 has a safe recovery and all the of the nightlies as well. There was a couple of mismerged versions of Chris41G's kernel that were safe to wipe from but unsafe to flash unsafe roms from.

CM9 Alpha 5 for example has an unsafe updater binary while Alpha 6 does not, I would never flash Alpha 5 from an ICS kernel unless that kernel is one that replaces updater binaries for flashing.

When in doubt EL26 CWM. The rest of the time just use a safe kernel and a known safe rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
You will still need to flash an ics kernel in cwm to get it to boot after flashing el26 to use recovery unless you are freshly installing a rom cuz it will include a kernel in the rom zip. I just mOdin el26+cwm anytime I need to use recovery. But yeah you have to steps right. If you ever end up in a boot loop having the el26 tar on your PC is your go to to get back into recovery when you can't boot android to use mOdin

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vinscuzzy:
Thanks again for ALL the responses!

OK, think I'm getting a handle on all of this now. Will it ever get to a point where its just safe all the time to flash roms? It'd be cool if someone came up with an app that could scan the .zips to make sure they're safe. Or, why don't devs just always use .tar files to flash through Odin instead of zips through recovery? OR Is it a big pain to make .tar files?

P.s. I hope that didn't sound at all condescending to any of the wonderful devs. I'm just curious and obviously new to Samsung, and they're flashing procedures. :angel:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] samsmalls:
They do have tars available you have to flash them threw PC Odin. Zips are usually safe & handy on the go when your away from the computer with CWM & M. Odin just flash & go! Options are always good...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cp320703:
The emmc bug is a Samsung issue and, while trigged by the emmc_cap_erase code in ICS kernels during wipes, is actually located in the firmware for the emmc controller itself. As such its not likely we'll ever have a true "fix" for it as it would require Samsung to 1. Directly admit fault... and 2. Somehow patch the affected firmware... What we have now are basically known-good workarounds, essentially the "safe" kernels have the code that triggers the bug removed. These are more than sufficient, and a huge thanks to the kernel devs who've made ICS flashing possible and to sfhub/entropy512/garwynn and others who did the research on the emmc bug and figured out how it was triggered...

So that said the rom you are flashing shouldn't have a whole hell of a lot to do with whether it is safe or now, all that matters is how the kernel you are on handles the wipe when flashing, as that is the point at which the emmc bug is triggered.
