Help please

EDIT: SOLVED (solution that worked for me below)

Background info:

-- GT-I9300 -- 4.1.2 -- I9300XXELKC -- kernel 3.0.31-566833 -- JZO54K.I9300XXELKC --

1. relatively new to root, root mods and such, but done lots of research

2. main reason to root was to adjust volume (particularly to lower the minimum volume of the wired headphones)

3. installed GVM and used it according to specs. i changed the values for IN-CALL Heaphone and Headset

4. seemed to work fine, but wanted to make more tweaks

5. encountered same probs as other posters here, default_gain.conf disappearing, GVM crashing, no longer worked

6. tried replacing with my backup file, fixing permissions to rw-r--r--, and was able to access file through GVM, but changes didnt work and file disappeared again, crashes happened again. also tried reinstalling busybox.

SO... main problems:

1. wired headphones working fine, bluetooth headset volume super low (i can barely hear anything)

2. cannot seem to get GVM or default_gain.conf working. even replacing file with my backup or the "openme.zip" linked here doesn't work

What i need:

some way to get everything back to default, with bluetooth headset working again.

i would even be willing to flash a kernel if required (i just am not sure if doing so will actually fix it, so i decided not to flash without asking you guys beforehand)

I would really appreciate any help possible. thank you in advance.

---EDIT: SOLVED (solution)---

Well, i reread all of the information in this thread and put bits and pieces together... I'll list down how i was able to fix my problem, in case anyone else comes across the same.

- read my original post for everything i did beforehand

- Meltus' post especially helped:

So.. on with solution

1. make sure system is mounted as R/W (or use a root-enabled file manager)... personally, i used ES File Explorer and went to settings > root settings - activated all options there

2. uninstalled GVM

3. take the default_gain.conf file from original post ("open_me.zip")

4. place the default_gain.conf file in /system/etc/

5. change the permissions to rw-r--r-- (for those who don't know, check your root-enabled file manager for the "permissions" or the "properties" of the file and you can change it there)

6. restart your phone

7. check that the permissions of the default_gain.conf file saved

8. install GVM app from original post

9. use the function "Replace 'default_gain.conf'" for good measure and choose "flash and backup"

10. for safe measure double check the permissions of the file, if you have to change permissions, be sure to restart again before using GVM to change your volume settings.

*this procedure should help to cure any problems regarding crashing, or default_gain.conf dissappearing, or settings not sticking*

at the very least it can help you get back to default.

Great work Meltus. Thank you for your hard work and the helpful support.

Sound Issues

Hi, I changed the values from 55 to 60 and from 0 to 5 using the GVM app... Now the Radio doesn't sound at all :( ! The music app works, the speaker works fine, I think nothing had changed, BUT MY RADIO DOESN'T SOUND. I already uninstall and install the radio apk, but it didnt work... And when I try to open GVM it says: "Unfortunately, GVM has stopped" Is there any way to go back to the previous settings?

GREAT TUTORIALS, BUT I'VE MESSED UP

Galaxy SIII GTI9300, XXEMB1...

Thanks in adcance guys.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] casaque89:
It works now, i had followed the previous step...

NOW, HOW CAN I INCREASE THE VOLUME WITHOUT A PROBLEM WITH THE RADIO????

Does it works in a stock ROM 4.0.4? Sorry for my english

I am using my SGS3 as a car mp3 player, with a jack plugged into my amplifier.

My problem is that when I plug the jack in, the sound is lowered so as to not "damage" my hearing. Thank you Samsung for caring.

I hate this feature ^

Can this behavior be disabled with some setting in the file mentioned in this topic?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] carbonize:
Do you mean a headphone jack? If so I cannot see how it would know the difference to be able to say it needs to be lower. I mean it always pops up that message about not listening at high volume for to long when you have headphones in.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Deepcuts:
Yes, the headphone jack.

I am afraid I do not follow you. Who does not know the difference?

I am asking if I can prevent the volume from getting lowered when I plug the jack in.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] carbonize:
OK I will keep it simple. When you plug a jack in to the phones socket the phone just knows a jack has been plugged in and to send all audio through it. The volume for the device in the jack is different from that of the phone speaker and the phone does not turn it down it uses the last level you had it set to. When something is plugged in to the socket the phone will display a message about not listening to high volumes for to long but it does not stop you turning the volume up. Did you actually try just turning the volume up? Have change the settings for the headphones in GVM under normal?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Deepcuts:
Thank you for the reply.

On all Samsung Galaxy S3 phones, when you plug in the jack, the volume will be lowered. It is a known habit.

I always have to press volume up every time I plug in the jack. This is what I want to bypass: make the volume stay at the value I set.

I know I must sound lazy, but I use the car every day, plug the jack in and out of the phone at least 10 times per day and I am getting tired of pushing the volume up button all the time.

I am a grown up and I can read. I know loud sound can damage my ear. But I am NOT using a headphone and my darn car stereo does not amplify the sound enough.

Maybe they should put a warning in place when you brake. "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO BRAKE HARD? It damages your brake pads. Press OK". Every time you brake.

One time is enough. I got the message.

This is my concern and still looking for a fix.

Hope I explained the problem better this time.

So the OP does not give support? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] JJEgan:
I don't get the warning message possibly because i use a modified default_gain file .

Hello Meltus / JJEgan & the other Experts of XDA

I used to be a WinMo-head and never looked at Android till recently ( so I am a NOOB in Android , though a well-read NOOB ) . Got smitten by the charm & got myself an SGS3 I9300 international , JB 4.1.2 stock ROM a few weeks back , got sick of the "much discussed" low volume issues & executed the recommendation from Meltus in thread http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1722136 word for word ( including rooting procedure ) .

To be clear , after rooting first I tried side loading the APK ( which Meltus specially created for noobs like me - header of this thread ) , however things got a little messy when I ran the app ( inspite of SU grant it was stuttering ) , un-installed it & then directly edited ( overwritten ) the file through Root Explorer & it worked great

Everything worked like a charm with this mod . All sounds were loud & clear , and I was all smiles finally with my Pebble Blue SGS3 :fingers-crossed:

Then it struck me that the Boot Logo Intro Sound ( not too unpleasant ) and the Key Press "Bloop" Sound ( very unpleasant !! ) had just vanished I had planned to replace the "Bloop" with something more interesting , researched & found out a way to replace the file too , but even after replacing the file ( with all recommendations & precautions etc ) , the key Press sound never came back And of course the Boot Logo remained muted . To be noted - I did NOT find anything unusual with my Camera Shutter Sound till now - which a few others have reported .

In my understanding , this audio hack mod ( above link ) SWITCHES OFF these 2 sounds ( Boot Logo Intro & Key Press ) , and I'm certain there should be a simple hack to ENABLE them again through registry changes / file edit .

I researched and found other users of SGS3 having the exact same issue , some for a different reason http://xdaforums.com/show...ht=touch+sound but I am sure the REMEDY shall be the same ... just ENABLING these sounds .

Could someone please help me with the right steps to do so ? Which file/s to edit , how & for which parameters ?

I would be grateful forever :cowboy:

Ummm.. Yeah, I have installed this app on my S3 mini to increase the volume. I think it works?! I'm not too confidant on this however it feels like its made a difference.. My headphones getting better volume not much different but its made a difference.

I never had the default_confg thing whatever it is.. Can someone make me understand whether its just me thinking ita louder or its actully made a difference.

Thanks

Hi, I made a terrible mistake.

I replaced the file default_gain.conf in /etc instead of /system/etc and deleted the old file as I thought I had a backup already (for /system/etc).

How can I find an original default_gain.conf file for /etc ?

Or is it the same one for both folders (/etc & /system/etc) ??

Thanks.

Try this settings on your Spirit FM: Audio->Method = "qdsp5v2 Altern"

Reboot and then go to Spirit FM app and enable Debug->Mute kill mediaserver

I don't think that the chip will be damage with this settings because that is the right settings for our phone as the developer of the program stated with this settings. I try it and it works. I you have still any doubt, try to send an email to the developer. It will answer more about your questions.

Cheers :)

Just use World because Philippines is not listed there, or you can try "Taiwan" because this is the nearest country.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] avishekt:
After downloading the apk you need do the following steps:

1)Install the SpiritFM apk

2)goto Settings->Regional Band->Your country's band

3)goto Settings->Audio->Method-> "qdsp5v2 Altern". Custom ROMs use Audio->Method = "qdsp5v2 Altern". If must reboot for normal audio, enable Debug->Mute kill mediaserve

4)Enter your Station number and enjoy the music

5) While exiting the app check Test-> Audio -> Restart Media (at the very bottom)

I have followed the above process and it works perfectly for me in India. I use the unlocked version. But this should work for the light version as well. If still you are facing issues, please contact developer.

I posted in the Q&A of the general One X forum and they told me to post my problem here.

I tried flashing CM10 mod on my One X and because I am a noob I omitted to do a backup of my phone when I wiped everything. I then proceeded as usual, flashed the boot.img then opened the zip to install CM10, then flashed boot.img again but it didnt work.

I don't know how but after that I successfully messed up my phone. I have no ROM, Lost TWRP, have no backup and the only thing I can use is Fastboot and Bootloader.

My phone lo longer appears on my computer so I cannot move files onto it.

I relocked my phone and flashed all the RUU's that I could find. Used the ARUwizard to try the PJ83IMG to no avail.

Every answer I found on the internet did not work so far and I'm getting desperate. Nothing seems to work. Is there a solution?

PS: Is it just me or is the rogers HTC One X harder and more complicated to mod than other versions of the phone? If I were to buy a new phone which one should I buy?

PPS: Buying a new phone is my last option. I do not want to resort to that. I will if I have to.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thedauntlessone:
This is why 1 click unlocks are so bad for the community. People mindlessly unlock their phones and screw it up.

As for your situation, if you run a RUU successfully but your phone still won't boot then you're probably SOL. Go ask Niceppl and see if he can help you.

And no, Rogers is the easiest to mod. HTCDev supports Rogers HOX bootloader unlock. After that, the rest is the same.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] LimesAreOranges:
Everytime I try an RUU it says I have the wrong RUU for the device... I tried all of them that I could download. Do I need to do anything else before flashing the RUU maybe?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thedauntlessone:
You didn't SuperCID which is essential for ATT RUU. Right now you basically have a phone with Rogers ID trying to install ATT RUU so it fails.

If you can't get 1.73 rogers RUU working then I have no clue what you can do.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] E.Cadro:
Can you unlock the phone still from fastboot?

If you can have tried to reflash twrp from fastboot?

If it works you may be able to mount the sd card from twrp and move rom to your sd card and flash it.

Just throwing out some ideas since nothing you have tried has worked so far.

I cannot mount my virtual sd card to my computer.

I tried to mount my system in TWRP but on my computer it says I cant access it and I need to format it.

Should I format it or will that indefinitely kill my phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GibMcFragger:
Hmm. That sounds like it got corrupted, which may be why your phone cant access anything. Your comp should only be able see the partition that acts like the external sd, so formatting it SHOULD be ok, but get a few more opinions on that before you do it. If so then you can copy a rom on and flash it in twrp.
