Need a little help here... Been on CM 10 from the beginning on my TMobile s3 with no problems. After I downloaded the 8-18-12 nightly my phone will not get past the android setup screen?? Anyone else having this issues and what can I do about this? Thanks!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sswb27:
I just installed it and it works fine so far. Try another wipe and install. Or maybe your download is bad.

CM 10 nightly issues

Tried nightly download from cyanogen site & rom mgr. to no avail?? My rom mgr is updated, did full wipes and no luck. Reverted back to 8-14 with no issues. Haven't heard anyone else having this issue and I've never had any issues downloading CM before?? Weird. Thanks for the info.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ak4life23:
First time I installed it, it worked out fine but there was a few minor issues like camera won't upload pictures and videos to facebook, Unable to update status. I decided to flash it again but this time I wiped dalvik 3x cache and data 2x format system cache data 2x each. After doing that everything worked out fine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jon.s.nelson:
Yes, I had the same problem. It seems to work sometimes, sometimes not. Just do the 3 types of wipes, and try again- it should work.

One hint: during the installation of the ROM when it says "unleashing the evil"- it should take a good 20 seconds (or so) to "unleash". On the installations that failed for me it said "unleashing the evil" and immediately finished installing- and then the boot after that failed too....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GATORZZ28:
Wipe 3x's?

Thanks for all the info. This morning I tried the download again from ROM mgr. and it worked fine :) Didn't do anything different but it worked!! Also, when you say wipe 3 x's, how do you do this? I installed today from ROM mgr. and it pops up to wipe and I check all boxes. After install is complete it auto boots into new build. Should I go back to recovery and wipe again or?? Thanks again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jon.s.nelson:
Since I used the recovery to wipe, I was taking about wiping the 1) user data (factory re set), 2) the cache, and 3) the dalvik cache. If you're using the ROM manager, I'm sure what you did was fine. Truth is, I don't think all of the 3 wipes I did are always necessary especially if you're just upgrading from a previous build... Good luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GATORZZ28:
Thanks! Went ahead and booted into recovery and did the wipes again anyway. Seems to be working great.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Virtual Pariah:
I had that problem last night.

What I did was go into Clockwork and installed google apps. Then rebooted and it went through the setup without any problem.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GATORZZ28:
Thanks Cyanogen & Crew

Just wanted to say thanks to all that works on CM 10. I'm running the 9-6-12 nightly on My mobile Beastly S3 & we are very close to stable! Thanks for all your hard work.

Hi guys I'm using cm9 A11, I cant use tethering even with 3rd party apps. I tried 2 apps one of them failed starting on first try, started in second try but no devices can connect. Then I tried barnacle wifi tether, it gave an error about "wpa_supplicant". When I skip it like in first app no devices can connect.

i have rooted the device and i have superuser access to it ,but when i check it with *#simunlock# it tells me everything is off.but when i put different sim card it ask me for unlock codes... any idea how this thing can be unlock ???? . plz help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerodegrezx:
I have the i757 from bell canada. it is rooted.

i have tried Chainfires galaxy S2 SIM app (crashed on step 4 like others).

next i tried Galaxy S Unlock from helroz (keeps saying i have a busybox problem but busybox is installed and has superuser permission)

next i tried Galaxsim by spocky (unable to read NV data)

next i made a smoked meat sandwich on whole wheat (didnt help with the unlock but prevented my phone getting smashed in frustration)

the cost of unlocking would be as little as 20 dollars for me. however if someone else can unlock it, why couldnt I do the same thing myself ?

there doesnt seem to be too many responses in the thread .. help us all out !!!

Hello... I am sad, my SGH-I757M is still locked in Bell. I paid for a code and the code is not working! The guy told me it might be because I rooted the phone previously, so I proceeded to unroot it but still no luck.

I tried everything already. Not having the nv_data.bin visible in /efs complicates the process. Any ideas? Suggestion?

Hi

Do you have CMW installed?

If so, download any rom or backup and instal it
[HTC Sensation] Papers:
Hi,

I just bought a second hand Sensation XE that is already rooted (checked with root checker), hboot says s-off (but bootloader is LOCKED), even the XDA market was on it (although in Chinese). I want to install the Revolution Rom, but the problem is that i've only ever done this once with my old Desire HD and at that time i started from a brand new unrooted phone, step by step until it was rooted,s-off,clockwork and rom installed etc. etc. Now that i don't need to start from the beginning, i don't actually have a clue where to start. I don't even remember how to check if clockwork mod is on it. Here's what i have in System info:

android version 2.3.5

HTC sense version 3.5

Software number xda_smallleizi_cn

When i look in the FAQs, i just get confused about where i'm up to. And with the risk of bricking, i'm not so willing to jump in anywhere.

Can someone give me some advice on where i should start?
[HTC Sensation] Raven2k:
If you're into going through the whole process from A to Z, you can use an RUU matching your device. It will turn the phone into stock and you could follow all the steps in the ARHD thread.

But.. since it seems the phone is rooted, i would continue from there. Install 4ext recovery, 3.33 kohr-ah firmware than flash ARHD 6.7.2.

See my signature for the links.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
I would once your confident with flashing roms , try out several different roms and see which one suites your needs most . This is the fun part. Don't just limit yourself to one ROM . There are so many wonderful choices I highly suggest you try several before you make your choice on your daily Rom . Experiment a bit, you won't be sorry. Happy flashing ! Best wishes!
[HTC Sensation] Papers:
Thanks for the replies.

Well i did what you said, but after flashing the 3.33 firmware, i'm stuck in a bootloop. Displays HTC, Sensation, Then restarts again and again. Not sure exactly what i should do now...

Edit:

Hboot says the following:

*** LOCKED ***

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-1.29.0000

RADIO-11.24A.3504.31_M

OpenADSP-v05.6.0.2226.00.0418

eMMC-boot
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
The key thing is S-OFF, try to make sure you keep this. That is the most important thing.

Have you got a custom recovery ? (CWM or 4EXT). If not get one I use CWM but old hat as most folks use 4EXT now. Then get used to the nandroid backups that they do. essentially a full backup/restore apart from firmware.

As someone else said try the various ROMs.

All the custom ROMs will have Superuser (root) enabled. The only decision is AOSP or Sense based.

Have fun, it'll cost bandwidth downloading the ROMs so do it where you have free LAN/WiFi ;)
[HTC Sensation] Raven2k:
Bootloops occur when the firmware and the rom/kernel do not match.

From the edit, it looks like you have successfully flashed the 3.33 firmware. All that is left now is to flash a matching rom.

You could start with Android revolution HD, please find the link in my signature.

You might just have to flash it twice, if you do not have 4ext recovery installed (first flash will make sure 4ext is set, the other will utilize 4ext for a successful rom flashing).

Before flashing the rom, it is recommended to also perform a 'superwipe' which erases any leftovers from previous rom. Those might cause compatibility issues. The flashable superwipe zip can be found on the first post of ARHD.

One last thing, before any flash, make sure the zip was.downloaded.correctly. this can be achieved by comparing the MD5 signatures on the site, and one that you can compute on your device prior to flashing.

Happy flashing :)
[HTC Sensation] Papers:
I guess i jumped to conclusions too soon and assumed a bootloop was a really bad situation. I went into recovery and flashed ARHD and everything went very well.

Thanks for the help everyone.
[HTC One X] ydkmb007:
So I've had my HTC one x for a couple months now and I've noticed a LOT of bugs. I have problems using apps, they will just randomly close when I try to idt them (e.g. I tried to deposit a check today using my phone, app closed down and showed an error). This also happens with things that aren't relayed to apps, I will try to insert a picture into a message and it won't work, it will just return to my gallery (one way in particular, I have tried a different method of inserting a picture into messages and it seems to work however it is more time consuming and frustrating). And three are more problems similar to this... I have already done a factory reset on my phone once and the problem came back. I was just wondering if anyone else was having problems with this phone like have because I'm getting really tired of this. Also, recently I've been waking up to find my phone completely died, battery drained and all, even though it had plenty of charge before I went to sleep, this has happened twice already. Anyone?
[HTC One X] vivek_bhoj:
Well i haven't faced any such problems and i guess you have not rooted your phone...

About battery drain you can use this app called Better battery Stats to exactly know which app or process is responsible for causing drain:

Hi,

i tried to change my MAC Adress on the Galaxy s3 but none of the existing tutorials worked. The problem is i want to change the mac permanently. I already found a file in /efs/wifi/.mac.info but when i change the value and restart the phone it's set back to the old mac adress. The other tutorials are using nvram or something like that but i couldn't find that file. Do you have an idea of how to change this right?

Have you looked for a folder called "LOST.DIR" ? if you have one, delete it and then see remaining space.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redundant409:
also try sd maid
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JediMasterASD:
Nothing in the lost.dir folder

SD Maid is a really cool app, thanks for recommending that. It got me back about 1GB but still seems I have a lot of space lost in the ether :crying:

I wonder if the storage graph counts app data that is downloaded seperately like games that download an additional 500MB or some such to the SD? I have at least 4 games on my device that did that which could account for some of the missing data if that is the case.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJE66:
I'm missing space as well, but using DiskUsage showed a lot more detail of my memory usage.

I think the storage display is being a little too simplistic.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JediMasterASD:
Disk Usage is a great app too! it did show me where most of my data has gone. I have 2GB in comics on my device I totally forgot and the rest of the data is "Android data" such as all the additional game data like I suspected.

I appreciate all the app suggestions and help guys. I feel much better now knowing what all is using up my space. (wish there was a 32GB version of the N7 but oh well)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fridgeman:
Hold the power button till it shuts down, once it restarts the memory should be back as available. At least it was on mine.

Factory reset with Nexus 7 toolkit. I did the factory image thing and it fixed it up.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salty Wagyu:
One of the thumbnail files in /DCIM/.thumbnails/ was 1.27GB in size. This is a file that doesn't show up for some reason on that DiskUsage app by the way (even with root), so that's worth checking out with a file explorer.

I deleted mine and put a .nomedia file in my movies, wallpaper and DCIM folders, hoping it'll stop making thumbnails.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjrcooper:
Thanks!

This freed up most of the space that was reported in DiskUsage as "System Data" but I still have almost 1Gb used and can't see what's using it. Anyone know of an app that breaks down System data usage?

Bit of a pain having to reboot the device each time I want to free up system data...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
I was running ICS and flashing all the available on XDA which are relevant to ICS, all of sudden i was facing so many problem and want to Restore the previous backup so i tried to boot in to recovery but was stuck on Samsung splash screen with top written as Booting into Recovery.

So i thought Recovery partition is corrupted so i booted into download mode and flashed Stock ROM with ODIN and it was successfully flashed and mobile restarted.

Mobile restarted saying "Error in Recovery Kernel" in red color.

so i again thought some problem happend so i again flashed Stock ROM using ODIN, now it restarted and stuck on Samsung splash screen only no progress...

Finally i tried flashing pit file with re-partition option also still same problem..

have any one faced this kind of issue and any help will be appreciated....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] nvo2411:
It seems you tried also the possible tricks. The last resort i think is to apply the dead phone repair trick which i think should help. Warning it removes your imei so it is necessary that you have your efs backup.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] sagarwadhwa1:
first try to boot then take EFS as backup...

now flash stock rom and if the problem persists , take it to SSC...

it may so have happened that your flash on which recovery partition is stored on has been damaged...

all the best buddy...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Fusrodah:
Can this be eMMC Brickbug?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] sagarwadhwa1:
Could be another version of that....

Our and the galaxy S2 and note have very different architectures...

The eMMC bug does corrupt some sectors on the flash which seems like a brick...

But i believe his phone can be recovered as it is only soft bricked...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 1337SereniTyx3:
Since you've successfully flashed stock ROM via Odin and stuck on Samsung splash screen, all you have to do is to boot in the stock recovery and perform a "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe the cache". Then reboot and see if it worked. It worked for me when I was facing the same issue.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
It looks like you might get so called "kernel panic". It can happen when you switch between kernels, android versions.

Another thing...bootloaders. You guys restored ics-cwm backup but still use gb bootloader. It can cause booting problems sometimes.

If it was eMMC brickbug mj.vikram wouldn't be able to turn the device on.

Mj.vikram if you can flash gb-stock and you are able to boot into recovery, so wipe data and cache. No need for this heavy unbrick procedure yet, i think.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
I am not able to boot in to recovery, when ever i try it will be stuck on the splash screen saying booting into recovery....

Only i am able to boot in Download mode...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ardatdat:
One silly question from me... have you tried to re-insert the battery, sdcard and sim card? Thx.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bhargav143:
I had a similar problem... My sgr used to get stuck on the splash screen for about a minute and then boot....

It had happened due to some unknown bug while flashing extensively with various ROMs and MODs, and resulted my SGR sensors (PROXIMITY & LIGHT SENSOR) not to work....

Then SSC people replaced sensors but it did not work... Then they replaced the entire board..

I think you are going through a similar situation... Take it to SSC as soon as possible and make sure... You have flashed Indian Stock and reset the counter... All the best...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] nvo2411:
Why don't you try dead repair trick. You should have efs backup.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
Luckily my flash counter is 0 only, thank you i will take it to service center and what i need to tell them if they as how it happened ...

I've tried all the possible methods but it haven't worked :crying:....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
I've tried it buddy but no luck....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bhargav143:
Just tell them... One day, after I installed a few apps it restarted automatically and after sometime it was stuck in bootscreen.... I was helpless...

Also, behave as if samsung is the culprit..does not have quality checks before putting phones into market... And also... Tell... If this problem happens again... I will go to the consumer court...

Symptoms of super brick(caused by emmc bug):

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vijai2011:
No problem....temporary fix to avoid bricking is to avoid using cwm to flash anything,doing wipes in cwm,formatting partitions in cwm,doing factory reset through settings and by typing code in phone,removing large size files from sdcard.

The permanent fix is to disable MMC_CAP_ERASE in kernel while making it.Any kernel dev can do that easily I guess....
