[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anbushinobi:
Hi,

I'm new and though I've watched the noob video I hope I'm in the right place, if not please dont get angry ><.

2 days ago I've flashed into stock rom for my SG3 (GT-i9300) back from my RGUI v5 Build number: MIUI-2.8.3 IMM76D / Kernal version: 3.0.38-Siyah-s3-v1.3.9c

Ask me why? because I've had some issues trying to install official MIUI v4 from the international website and always I get error: "Status 7" with a dead android inside. (Again, Why ? because I as hoping it would make my SG3 even smoother... more responsive)

So I though perhaps flashing it from a stock rom might work, so I used Odin and everything went fine, again ofcourse I got the error and went back to CWM to restore the backup i've made before flashing anything, I dont really mind about the error right now, I've seen similar posts about it and I shall continue investigating it, What's more important is on the next phrase.

Today I found out that all my photos were deleted, after restoring my RGUI v5 rom 2 days ago ofcourse....

I'm not sure how could the situation get any better though I remember previously flashing rom's that the SD card never being touched and I guess I was wrong.

What I wanted to ask is, I just got more CWM backup files on my external SD, does anyone knows if CWM backup restores user data aswell or should I just give up :( ?

Helpfull tips of how to restore it could be usefull (Oh lord, please spare me I beg you, I'll pray more).

Thanks in advance.

I've flashed hundreds of times on S1, S2 and now S3 and never lost any data or photos that are on either the internal or external sd cards.

Not sure but could it be that you somehow hit format sd card in cwm by accident?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Have you searched your internal and external storage? Maybe they were only stored on a different location so that the stock Gallery cannot find them?

Storages are either completely wiped or not wiped - but you don't only loose one particular folder
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anbushinobi:
Yeah, me too up untill now, i even verified via usb cable if I can browser into DCIM folder to see perhaps if its there but it not.

The General storage says 10 out of 11 free space...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anbushinobi:
I tried to install 3rd party Gallery program which scans my SD's for photos and it could nothing.... Its probably not there.

I think all is lost unless one of my backups contains them.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Unfortunately cwm backups do not backup stuff on the sd card like photos. Looks like you've lost them man.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anbushinobi:
In a more optimistic view there are worse things, and although its quite hard to swollow all I've got left to do is say thanks to every one for trying...

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Sorry, but this is a "Well Duh..." moment.... Flashing any stock rom through ODIN will always wipe the data partition on the internal sd card. You need to backup the internal stuff onto your PC. Only a stock firmware that has been modded will allow a non-wipe flash and you usually need to be rooted as it is no longer a stock rom.

You should be able to restore a nandroid backup of a stock rom too without wiping the internal sd card as this is only putting the system data back onto your phone...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anbushinobi:
What is that nandroid backup your talkibg about? I'm not familiar with it, though i understand that there's still no way out.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Androfreak725:
You can always try AOKP roms where there is navigation bar available. It will be useful till you get your phone repaired. I had problems with those buttons (they weren't responding) so i installed an AOKP and activated nav bar option in it.

Here is one of the kind

Don't worry, this software nav bar is very customizable.

Thank if you find this helpful:o

I wonder if anyone can help.

I installed Cyanogen 7.2 and on a Samsung Mini S5570 with a few coughs and splutters it's running. The wifi was working but I thought I could save some time and did a Titanium resore of the wifi settings.

Hoping someone knows where I can go in & delete the duff settings I Just put in there

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] notquiteageek:
Wifi fixed

I hoped to be able to fix this without having to re-install CyanoMod or have to do anything too drastic.

A factory reset fixed it. I now have to put all my own settings back but it's a small price to pay

Guys,

Beyond the advantage of save space. I want to know if apps that I copy to sdcard need to be reinstalled or cleaned if I flash a new rom?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
No, if you didn't wipe data, while flashing your new ROM

So if I didn't wipe data that app will be there as soon as my sdcard be mounted? Good.. thanks

i rooted my s3, then i unlocked the bootloader. i still havent flashed anything but now when i reboot my phone i get the custom notification with the unlocked padlock. did i do something wrong or is this normal.

edit: i used a windows based program to root and i used twrp to flash the unlocked bootloader

I am waiting on a stable completely functioning rom before flashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
Sounds like it's not unlocked if you still have the custom boot screen. What method did you use to unlock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
You are not unlocked. When your bootloader is unlocked that Samsung screen just flies by. No padlock no waiting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] krbernier:
Thanks! i used a windows batch file to do the unlock...guess ill give it another go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] krbernier:
worked thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Xiuix:
My SGiii now does this when booting. I have root. I used the devFS root method. I to my knowledge I have not flashed the boot loader. Is this what people were talking about by adding one to there flash counter? If so I might as well flash cwm.

Is my warranty void now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Has nothing to do with flash counter. It shows that software is modified and is caused by root. Unlocking the bootloader will get rid of lock. Warranty is void only if you don't revert to stock before return.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Imperial_Raj:
A big hello to all fellow Sola users and all our great developers! Yeah, that's right, a great guy, Gabriel Stevan, has already ported Xperia S ICS to our Sola. I found him on Antutu where I saw his Sola running ICS and scoring around some whopping 6k @ 810MHz and around 7k @ 1.6GHz :-o I connected with him on Facebook and he told me that he had ported ICS but was unable to upload it due to poor internet speeds :( I'm sure many of you would love to have it but it is totally up to him. I don't know if he is here on XDA or not but it was a wonderful news so I couldn't resist sharing it with you all.

However, with the official update nearby, getting a ported firmware hardly makes sense but I sincerely do think that we must applaud his great work.

If he is on XDA, I'd like him to reply too.

Thanks :)

will appreciate if u can upload links to the video of ICS running on Sola !!!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] IE-coRe:
Wouldnt it be better to port from the p to our solas becouse they have the same chipset?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Eavesdrop:
I'm actually thinking the same thing, but the guy has already did it. It was really impressive, hope he can share it with us soon.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pakman123:
should ask him to share how he ported the rom

btw wouldn't you need a ics kernel for sola for a ics rom to work ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Elwino2.3:
ICS for sola is near future! For me that is wasteful porting.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tadeas482:
It is not wasteful. He needs support and not people saying his work is wasteful...Another good thing is that Xperia Sola has some excellent developer.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sobhan06:
Wat abt XU? ? Can v install that port Rom in XU? ? As they both share the same hardware and all r same except screen size a little

And how he download ICS Xperia S source? I think its not true.

I wrote to him too, but he dont answer about ICS.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tadeas482:
Dunno, I have not tried installing any custom ROMs for Xperia U and I will probably not do it. ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Elwino2.3:
I think you're right :good::laugh:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jetnag:
Sharing my thoughts on this alleged port, which would be great if true.

Well, I don't know the size of sola roms, but if the ROM is 200MB, and let's say he has a 64 kb ISDN connection or whatever, the upload would take about 7 hours. That ROM would finish uploading while he is at work/school one day. So if he managed to download all the framework, source and tools to make this happen (which would take about 15-24 hours I guess, in this case), he would also be proud and eager enough to share his work by uploading it.

I tink we're talking proof or gtfo here.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] KeiranFTW:
It would be possible to almost clean port an Xperia P build to the U, because hardware wise theh are mostly the same, apart from the RAM in the P.

hi all.

I'd like some advice. I have the chance to buy a new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 32 GB tablet in the USA. The price is significantly better than the UK equivalent.

But what I need to know if will the device work in the UK? For example will I be able charge the device?

I'm assuming that I'd need to change the virtual keyboard settings from US to UK but that should be simple enough - I hope...

Sorry if this is an obvious question.

I'd rather not root the device if at all possible. I'm happy to buy one or two things to make the device mine since the saving is almost £250(!)

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonofdays:
You just need to make sure that the charger works on 220V or that you are plugging it into 110V. Otherwise, I can't imagine any reason it wouldn't work for you.

You could get a 220->110 transformer pretty easily if necessary.

I'm pretty sure you can, doesn't the charger output USB voltage? 5V 1A? If so any android charger should work
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdalacu:
The charger is 5v and 2A, but i think it could charge at 1Amp, but it will take longer.

There is also the prob that there are 2 different wifi models EU:8010, US:8013. But i think the difference is in wifi channels numbers. Maybe you can flash a 8010 ROM and it becames an UK model. This you need to find out.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
Yeah. If you flashed a UK firmware on the N8013 it would most likely work.

You would lose the ability to use the IR port.

Any Samsung Tab-compatible 2A charger will work. iPad chargers will not work unless you use a charging adapter such as http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-data-charging-extension-cable-for-samsung-p1000-black-91141?item=4 (If that link breaks, search DX for P1000) - Samsung hasn't changed charger design since the original Tab, so P1000 chargers/charging adapters will work.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
You don't need to change the radios, they're the same. D-Link, NetGear, et. al., sell the same routers internationally that they do domestically. If there was a compatibility issue my UK devices (and I have/had many) wouldn't work in the U.S. As for the 3G the Note's quad-band worldwide (except Korea) so it'll work just about anywhere.

One thing to keep in mind about using Samsung mobile devices outside their country of intended sale is that it affects your warranty. If a U.S. sourced Note needs repair they'll only repair it in the U.S. The same holds true in reverse. Samsung U.S. won't repair a Note intended for sale outside the U.S. They take a tough stance on gray market purchases and this has been proven time and time again. So you may want to compare the initial savings vs. the cost of roundtrip shipping to the U.S. should it ever need service.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
Not true. Available 5 GHz frequencies are VASTLY different between the UK and US. See http://www.solwise.co.uk/wireless-5.htm

Similarly, Europe allows 2.4 GHz channels 12 and 13, the USA does not.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
Then the radios compensate for the variations in channels. Like I said, the Note is my fifth international device and it has no problem working in the U.S. I travel a lot and have never had a Wi-Fi issue with any of them. My OG P7500 has been to every continent.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
They will if you change the region configuration - with root and/or custom firmware that is possible. But if you use it "out of the box" - it won't work without hax.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
None of my devices are rooted and all use OEM ROMs. Primarily because I've always had tons of issues registering on foreign 3G networks in my travels when I've used third party ROMs and radios. In all the forums for those devices I've never seen a discussion on Wi-Fi incompatibility based on region. Have you? I'd think people with U.S versions of popular phones like the SGS2 series, VZW Nexus, and HTC phones like the Vivid and Sensation would be reporting problems if they couldn't use their Wi-Fi properly when traveling overseas. I'm sure plenty of U.S. Samsung tablets have been used overseas when people travel also. And if U.S. iPhones and iPads had different radios than the international versions owners would be reporting incompatibility issues when using them abroad. So I get that there may be variations in Wi-Fi regionally but the radios must be designed to accommodate them. Otherwise this would be a much larger discussion and not just in the Note forum.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigStuart:
I'm from the UK, currently travelling in the US, and I just bought a 32GB note last Thursday...

The charger is compatible voltage-wise, all you need is a US->UK plug adapter...

I've also never had WiFi problems in my travels here in the US, I use an international 5.3" note, and WiFi works everywhere. I don't expect any problems.

When I switched the Note 10.1 on for the first time, it asked me what region I was in, I chose UK, and could have chosen anywhere...
