I had to warranty a phone for loss of microphone and loss of eventual earpiece.

What I found (in looking at dis assembly videos) is that the earpiece (and possibly speaker/mic) are not hardwired but actually have pressure contacts to flex circuits that can get iffy.

I found that cleaning my speaker/microphone/earpiece with a strong neodymium magnet drew out all sorts of ferromagnetic materials and solved a lot of the crackling issues.

I haven't had an issue since. I clean it about once a month however I'm in a high steel dust environment from time to time.

Cheers,

I'm not sure if this has been covered in another thread, but I was looking around a bit and found nothing and sorry if this isn't the correct place. I wasn't sure.

I have an LG P509(TmoUSA). Yesterday I rooted it for the first time and installed CM10 on it via ROM manager. After it successfully installed, I noticed I didn't have any signal and that my imei was missing. It said "Unknown" . On my dialer I pressed *#06# and a little box popped up with nothing in it. I switched back to stock rom using LG tools and both my imei and signal had been restored. I attempted it again but this time, I tried installed CM 7 via the ROM manager along with Google apps. The same happened. I again, restored back to stock. I attempted it a THIRD time, but, this time I did it via clockwork. I cleared cache and data and installed from zip. I installed CM 7 and CM 10 though this method. Both times my imei was gone and my signal was as well. Right now I'm sitting with stock rom and rooted.

Does anyone know what's going on? Can I not install custom roms with my phone without loosing my imei?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hsingh1993:
I think you did not upgrade your baseband, thats the only reason you are not getting signal. I cant tell about p509 but i had the same problem, but my phone is p500. You have to flash v20 baseband for new roms i.e higher then gingerbread search the forum i have a link but its for p500. Not sure if both p500 and p509 baseband are same anyway here is link for p500 baseband, just ask if both p500 and p509 baeseband are same if they are same you are good to go.

Model: Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T i747

Hi!

I was forced to encrypt my galaxy s3 in order to receive corporate emails on my phone using the stock email app. However I never imagined that encrypting the phone would literally lock the memory and options to customize the phone.

I tried to root the phone to benefit from more flexibility and also debloat the phone. However during the rooting process, I could not mount /emmc/ when using ClockWorkRecovery in the startup menu. Based on what I found on the web, I figured it was due to the encryption.

I then tried to factory reset the phone to get rid of the encryption but I simply can't hard reset the phone from the OS or the startup menu. When doing the reset from the startup menu, the errors are "Can't mount /sdcard/". The reset continues but when the phone reboots, all my applications and personal data are there and the phone is still encrypted.

I read a lot about flashing a custom recovery via flashboot or ADB but I am reluctant to do it without guidance from the experts (you guys).

I deleted my corporate email account (It is my personal phone, I am not required to install exchange on it).

I tried to use an external sd card but as soon as the phone recoginizes it, I have to encrypt the card as well as a result from the corporate policies. I ejected the card and did not encrypt it.

I am new to android (long time iPhone user) and I would really appreciate your guidance on the methods to factory reset my phone or a different technique to get rid of the encryption because I am really stuck right now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
I have never encrypted an Android phone before. But maybe your response to these questions will serve as a "bump" to this thread.

1) What method did you use to encrypt the phone? Stock or 3rd party encryption?

2) Doesn't that same method also offer you the offer to unencrypt the phone?

3) If you used a stock method of encrypting the phone, then I'd assume your provider (AT&T?) tech support should be able to help you unencrypt it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ofAKind:
Eddie,

Thanks for your response.

1) I used stock method for encryption

2) Decrypt the phone is not possible apparently,only way is to factory restore the phone apparently

3) I went to the AT&T store and they were unable to factory restore (using the standard methods). They offered an exchange but since I purchase over the phone at a discounted price, I have to do the exchange using that method. Before shipping back the phone, I was wondering if I could fix it myself with the help of knowledgeable people.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] darcpyro:
I have never used the encryption but if the phone can turn on and is usable, cant you go into the encryption settings and turn encryption off? then you should be able to do anything (may be best to start with a factory restore first just so you have a fresh slate to work with)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigdisu1:
1ofaKind,

Had EXACTLY the same thing happen to me. Encrypted my S3 in order to access work exchange server. Tried CWM but cannot mount /emmc/ problem after booting into recovery. Have not tried to factory reset yet as I am wanting to learn more before I go that route. But basically I am in the same boat as you. The only difference is I was not required to encrypt an external SD card when I put it in my phone. Read about flashboot as well...maybe the only way to actually factory reset after encryption??

Sorry I cannot offer any solutions at the moment...but I will keep scouring the forums looking for a way.

If I learn something valuable, I will try to post it here to help ya out.

I'm in the same boat here - had to encrypt my GS3 in order to receive corporate (Exchange Server) emails. Now can't update the OS on the phone which is more important to me than receiving corporate emails on the device.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sid9102:
This might be too late to help you guys, but here's what worked for me. I odined it back to stock. Then I went into recovery (volume down, power and home button) and selected wipe data/factory reset. This does of course erase all your data, so try to copy whatever you can onto a computer or something before doing this. You should end up with an unencrypted storage.

ODIN will not recognize my phone when it is in download mode ...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] oxidase:
After you hit start, unplug then replug the usb from the computer. I had some issues with it not recognizing it either to flash stock, but when i messed with the cord, it made the noise that i unplugged and it started working. Same thing with the root injected, only this time i fully unplugged it when the fiddling with it didnt work. Make sure you replace it into the same com port.

so, i seem to be having the same problem as all of you, only i encrypted to protect my data from agents. So, right now, i am *hopefully* :fingers-crossed: installing the root injected JB now. I had many issues. TWRP and CWM were no help, couldnt see phone to add new roms to it. ODIN was the only hope. I booted into recovery after going back to stock, did a new factory reset and am installing the stock with root. When i let it boot, it didnt go to encryption this time, but the first time i flashed the stock, it did. This is a mess to say the least.

EDIT: YEAH! done. No encryption and i got root. i used the image from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1968625 DLK3 worked for me. Good luck. i hope this helps. Ill be happy to explain more if you want.

Factory reset encrypted phone

hi,

I'm using CM11 as a rom.

I didn't want to reinstall stock rom, just to root it again later.

Installing updated version from external SD didn't work (updated the ROM but no decryption)

Tried to factory reset from recovery - didn't work, as the internal storage is encrypted it can't mount /sdcard/

however, from within settings menu, in backup&restore there's an option to do a factory reset - this is formatting internal memory altogether.

worked like a charm.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hakunamatata:
I understand this is very old but I am going to make a note here in case anyone else gets into this problem. When you go back to stock, do the factory reset using the STOCK recovery. Don't install TWRP or anything else until you have cleared the encryption. At least, that's what worked for me.

Im running XI40 Sense 4.1 rom on my HTC One X for ATT. Is there any way to have the CM10 Lockcreen with the weather and other info on a sense rom? Or do I have to stick with a ASOP rom to have it? Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Silellak:
I can't answer for sure one way or the other, but I imagine the CM10 lockscreen's features are tied to the ROM.

You could try something like Widget Locker to emulate some of the functionality, though.

Hi all, I officially updated to ICS and I need to return to the stock recovery honeycomb, but I deleted time ago the intall.recovery.sh and now I get this message every time I use the factory reset data "recovery verified failed". I have no other way to hold the power button to turn off the device and press the button again to turn on and get into the system ICS.

I do not know if this is a possible solution.

If some one share the original file to copy and paste, would be very grateful. :cyclops:
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] linuxsociety:
Are you coming from a custom recovery? You currently have the official ICS installed? It almost sounds like you have yourself locked out of the bootloader / fastboot. If thats the case just consider yourself lucky that you can use ICS period! But if you have the stock A100 bootloader and not the hacked a200 bootloader, and you have an official ICS rom, then what you are asking for should be all you need, unfortunately I don't have the file as I never intended to return to stock myself, I'm sure someone else will come along soon who will upload it for you though.

Hi.

Your "english" is really hard to understand ;)

I've seen ideas like this one before.

Example - Unavailability of ICS on groubal.

I think corporations like Samsung don't give a s**t about what You want.

They just make money.

Ofcourse You can always try but is it worth it ?

I've heard that S5830i graphic chip is better than S5830's but it still doesn't have full working drivers..

If that's true then i don't think Samsung is going to do anything more for this device.

That's my opinion.
