I get that he wiped /system. I thought what you posted would restore that? I guess not "all" of it eh?

I can take a nandroid backup of /system, but at this point it's been modified - it's far from OEM...

I have a few old nandroid backups, but I don't know if I kept the completely stock one. I should have in retrospect, so I'm going to hope I can find it...

Edit - the only backup of /system I have is a .win file for TWRP... sorry.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] SleepyPanchoo:
If it works I'll take it! lol. Stock would be nice but I have no choice at the moment. I could use a modded rom until a stock rom comes out, just don't want to be with a paper weight lol. I'm trying the Photon Q stock Odexed.zip right now though.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Rangerbry:
I have a full stock pull i keep on hard drive but cant get it till after work
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] SleepyPanchoo:
Ya may need full stock pull, flashed odex with no avail :(.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Well here's the system.ext4.win file and the md5.

Not sure if it'll work for you at all, since the file was extracted using TWRP, and you are on CWM... I looked at my CWM backups, and I didn't take a full CWM backup it seems :/ At least I can't find it...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] SleepyPanchoo:
I know shabby has stock images pulled from the Motorola Photon Q here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1856456

I did fastboot flash the system.img.ext4 (523 mb - seems like a full system image!) he has provided to no avail. But I'm thinking it should have worked? Its looks like a full system.img that should write all the necessary data to the /system partition to get me going, unless I have to rename system.img.ext4 to system.img before flashing, I'd have to get that a try and see if that makes a difference.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] SleepyPanchoo:
I can give that try as well and see that will fix my phone. Thanks for all the help you guys are giving me. I thought I was alone!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Rangerbry:
No prob and last i checked this is XDA no ones ever alone in getting problems fixed here. Still going to be several hrs until i get home tho
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] SleepyPanchoo:
Just flashed TWRP 2.2.2.2 gonna give your system.img a shot!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] SleepyPanchoo:
Looks like it help me resotre your nandroid backup of your /system partition, but still doesn't boot. This is the file sizes I see when I go to backup in TWRP

System ( 224 MB )

Data ( 0 MB )

Boot ( 10 MB )

Recovery ( 10 MB )

Cache ( 16 MB )

Don't think data should be 0 MB? Maybe a full nandroid backup would work?

*EDIT*

I'm using shabby's stock images to fastboot flash userdata.img.ext4 but does not seem to have any effect. Data is still the same size. I may need a full nandroid backup to get this phone recovered, guess I will have to wait Rangerbry to upload that backup. hopefully that will work.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Did you restore "everything" or what was checked on restore?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] SleepyPanchoo:
I did restored everything but it seems the nandroid backup you gave me was a system-only backup. Data, cache, etc was not included in this backup. I made a backup of my wiped phone and overwritten the empty system backup with the /system backup you provided me, then restored it. Even though system is there phone still gets stuck on "WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED" screen. I may need a full entire backup (/system /data /boot /recovery /cache), if that doesn't work I'm not sure what will.. :/.

*Maybe Sprint can reflash back to stock or replace?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Why would you need my /data? Or /cache!?! That doesn't make any sense.

I can provide a backup of /boot and /recovery.

Edit - Hrm... Well, /recovery shouldn't be needed. boot.emmc.win / md5
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] SleepyPanchoo:
Wouldn't data have some required files for android to work? I know it contains user data as well (such as apps) but a nandroid backup, factory reset, then 2nd android backup that is given out can be made. Im sure cache is not necessary, but I'm trying everything at the moment, nothing seems to work when it feels like it should...!!:confused: I guess I can give your /boot a try. Don't think its /recovery since Im using your recovery now lol.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Niscap:
Hi guys

A friend of mine has a problem: his Galaxy keeps restarting randomly for no reason, many times in a day while using it.

What is weird: the phone hasn't ever been rooted/flashed with a custom rom, neither updated, always been 100% original. Just a normal usage!

I'm not much into this phone, so i don't know if it's a known issue or what.. but it sounds strange to me, possible hardware problem? Needs to be flashed or rooted? Other?

I've already done a factory reset and now i took off the sd-card to see if it could be it, but i'd appreciate some advices!

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
Try updating it with kies, might help but can't guarantee :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
if random reboots happens while using too much mobile resources then its normal for galaxy mini like phone
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] thousandecibels:
Random Reboots might be device specific or not , It depends.

But you may want to visit the samsung care center in your vicinity area just to be sure about the latter .

Else just flash a new stock Rom via ODIN (not that it would leave your device impure as rooting does :P).
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Niscap:
Is Froyo the last "official" release or was a Gingerbread leaked/official firmware released? I'll probably try flashing something, don't know yet if a custom rom could solve the problem but still it's a possibility

With mobile resources you mean 3G/wifi or RAM? By the way in both the cases i don't think it's the problem, since there aren't many apps in background and the only one using internet connection is whatsapp!

Thanks for the replies :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] thousandecibels:
The last official android update for for sgm was gingerbread based api.

Try flashing the stock gingerbread on the device via odin (google it if you don't know how to.) and then try custom roms.

Also the thing about resources, you already know about our sgm aka lil'g . Its not that powerful as most quad core latest devices boosted by plenty much RAM. So multitask on it wisely. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Niscap:
I'll try with gingerbread when i see my friend, thanks! I own a i9000 and flashed pretty much so i know odin and similar stuff, no problem :p

And yes i tried the mini many times, doesn't have a bunch of ram but still i think it can't be a ram-lack problem since it did the same also after the factory reset, with few apps installed!

Thanks again for the help :good:

Oh, was forgetting: how does the cyano run on the mini? Smooth? Battery killer or ok for everyday use?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] thousandecibels:
Try cm7 by mebitek. Despite its source code is old and official cm7 is way more ahead of it, the mebitek's cm7 relays on battery & performance like a pro..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
by resources I mean more ram and CPU usage

background apps ( they don't play big role as they get closed automatically)

running big games (HD one)

etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] hp_vercetti:
if you have many apps, cut the .android_secure folder and paste it on your computer.. i had this problem with the stock GB 2.3.6.. reboots reboots and reboots!! i pasted the folder in my comp, delete unnecessarily used apps and VOILA! it was running smooth again.. but now i'm using cm7..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Niscap:
I updated to official gingerbread release, then after putting all the (few) apps into phone storage i removed every android-secure file!

I'll see how it goes with this, if the problem remains i'll try a cyano or go directly to the service center :p

Thanks again for the tips!
[HTC EVO 3D] Infected_Smile:
Hi

I just got my EVO 3D GSM Shooter_U. Sorry about my bad english.

I was trying to root it. Now, not only I'm stuck with boot looping but I can not flash custom roms anymore. So I try to reset factory settings but I was too late to s-off and also the stock rom has been wiped.

then I flashed cmw recovery and try flashing many rooted stock roms but it didn't work. ( I even tried flashing Boot.img via fastboot as my mob is s-on )

Now my situation is like neither flashing custom roms nor going back to stock.

so Is there any way to recover it ? help me please.

Hboot 1.53.007

Unlocked (htcdev)

S-On

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
NO, you will have to downgrade to root, or you unlock the bootloader and flash a prerooted kernel, but bootloader unlocking is only for rom testers or people who like to experience custom roms, so think of it, because it voids warranty. For a how to look in my signature ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rahimali:
at least as of this point in time, this is the only way to root ICS on ST15i and yes, you do have to downgrade to GB in order to accomplish this. no other known method unless you wanna unlock bootloader and try out a custom ROM

with regard to the other method you found of changing kernels, you cannot do that unless you have an unlocked bootloader as you cannot flash kernel with a locked bootloader...

Hi mates, I'm on stock LH1 and not rooted. I just noticed that whenever I turn on my Mobile data (3g, HSPDA) my battery is draining a lot faster.

I am also having the same problem and have even gone to the extent of deleting the Samsung account from my S III now.

The error message for the sign in to Samsung Apps from the phone is

"Invalid email address(USR_3113)"

FYI - I have tried entering an invalid password as well and the same error is displayed.

I can login fine to the SamsungApps web site using the correct password, just cannot add in the Samsung Account again now or sign in to SamsungApps. I have had no problems at all since June 2012 and I only noticed the problem on Monday 17th Sep 2012.

[Galaxy S III General] voodoochild2008:
OK 1 billion threads I know but its more so a thread of my joy.

See the big boys Samsung/Apple/HTC should be working along the lines of when they bring out their top end phone, its the best one....maybe for a few short months, but that’s the way tech works, wait for one company to bring something out then you better it.

My joy has came from the fact that I was waiting for Apple to trump Samsung, its a newer phone/hype so it will be better, Apples chance to go one up on Samsung, they have the court win (fix :) ) and a new phone right behind that, times are good, what could go wrong..........oh dear, its not quite the phone we all thought it might be.

Not a Apple fan (was many years ago) but had they brought out a really top end/new ideas phone then it would have been bad news for Samsung (state side) as it is Samsung now have the perfect chance to really push this, they have in a way got off lightly.

It will be very easy for Samsung to make a phone that easily outstrips the ip5, I just hope they take a little bit extra from that tech they are sitting on and really leave other companies behind, but that comes with a high cost.

P.S

Just love how Apple is lost for ideas.

I know the war on trying to bring other firms down to their speed is well under way but its shocking when they are so open about lack of innovation on their side.

There was a write up about the iphone 5 looking like a longer 4s, and the question was put to Apple on why the look of the phone has hardy changed since iphone4, the reply was that they felt it was a great design and that people liked it, and that they don’t see the main shape changing for sometime yet.

Why not simply say

“we don’t have any idea what we could do and we are not willy to take any chances, customers are happy with it so why bother trying any new ideas, but if the sales are not what we wanted then we will make a slight change to the shape........this is Apple after all, we are all about slight changes here”

So comment/delete yet another thread :) either way I am happy Apple dropped the ball with this one.
[Galaxy S III General] matttye:
Apple has just smashed preorder records over all their other phones. Samsung won't outsell the iPhone, and in terms of specs their phones have always been better anyway.

I think it's 4 million preorders for the iPhone 5.

Also iSheep don't buy a phone because it's the best (like us) they buy a phone because it's an iPhone no other reason. Apple could make a new Nokia 3310 and people would still buy it thinking it's the best because they blindly follow Apple.
[Galaxy S III General] Kremata:
Already done. The SGS3 is superior to the iphone5.
[Galaxy S III General] voodoochild2008:
Its going down the path of mine is better than yours.....but I notice you start with preorders, so sales means its better? if so explain the Twilight movies, how did they make the money?????

Had you started off by listing the changes Apple made then I would be more willing to listen to a I.fan.

Oh and just so it does not need pointed out again

S1 1ghz 5mp camera 720p recording 4inch screen.512 ram

S2 1.2ghz dual core 8mp camera 1080p recording 4.3 inch screen.1gig ram.

S3 1.4ghz quad core 8pm camera 1080p recording 4.8 inch screen.1 gig ram.

Iphone 620mhz no camera 3.5 inch screen..128 ram.

Iphone 3g 620mhz.2mp camera vga recording.3.5 inch screen.128 ram.

Iphone 3gs 833mhz.3mp camera vga recording 3.5 inch screen.256 ram

Iphone 4 1ghz.5mp camera..720p recording 3.5 inch screen.512 ram.

Iphone 4s 1ghz.dual core.8mp camera 1080p recording 3.5 inch screen.512 ram.

Iphone 5 1.2ghz dual core.8mp camera 1080p recording 4 inch screen. 1gb ram.

It took them 6 phones to make these changes, they went form a 620mhz cpu to 1.2ghz dual core.

From no camera to 8mp 1080p recording.

From 128ram to 1gb ram.

And from a 3.5 inch screen to a..................well 4inch screen.

I know its all been said but to me this is not a big leap over 6 years, Samsung has done more over 3 years.
[Galaxy S III General] kulisap:
Agree!! Enjoying every bit of it now. I wish i could donate to CM Team but i don't have PayPal account.

Jesus...i wonder who the hell did we get there sometimes...:(
[Galaxy S III General] ustrucx:
Well I know I have a good phone when I can do everything I need w/o much tinkerin...I dont like CM and I hardly use modded stuff so I am not spoiled by the custom rom godness and still any stock android phone 2.3 and up have better usability than any iThing up to date. Cant debate usability.

Android top phones come in better specs, and spec is something that can be measured because its a fact that hardware X is faster than Y, cant debate on that when the difference is so great between top android phones and iphone.

The screen size, for me 4.5 is better than 4.8, that we can debate as it is personal preference. Everything else is no brainer for me, real multitask, widgets, the fact that I can chose my default apps, change my ringtone at will, stuff all my mp3 in a sdcard and be happy all day, and the look in my iphone friends faces when I click on a street addres inside gmail and android ask me if I want directions or maps...

Anyone who try to argue that iphone is a better smart phone is wrong, iphone is a better...ipod that make calls...for the hardware it sports and the target market I would say the iphone is still overkill.
[Galaxy S III General] BennyBlu:
Android phones will always have better specs, that's not going to change. Apple sells features not specs and that I mean by that is that Apple will advertise a certain feature, siri, and people will see that and flock, or something like icloud, and people will buy. 5 years ago if you would of told me that the wii would be one of the best selling systems of all time, I would of laughed, the wii is just gamecube 2,with a new controller, but Nintendo focused on features and not specs and look what happened

I think Samsung is getting the idea, advertise what the phone can do, and why you need it, then people will buy. It's easy to say that the iphone is gonna outsell the sg3 because if you want an iphone you get an iphone, there no choice, if you want a android, you literally have 500 choices.

Plus Samsung makes alot of the parts for the iphone so they winning regardless
[Galaxy S III General] Geordie Lad:
That could just mean they doing a Buzz Lightyear and deliberately creating stock shortages so all the iSheep think it's more popular than it actually is.
[Galaxy S III General] voodoochild2008:
The ip5 will sell well, but if its looking to good then Samsung will start teasing the SGS4 and its "maybe specs" I mean there is already talk of its first showing next year been March.

This is Samsungs chance to distance their product, better specs/features/look, after Apples so so ip5 Samsung really need to make the most of it and show off, it does come at a cost but long term it will be a winner.

Well I do think that Samsung and rest of the Android pack has a lot of catching up with apple's processor. Especially in terms of battery consumption. They could fit quite small sized battery and still have excellent battery life. I don't like Apple as an company and because of that will always boycott them but must give credit for the processor.

Features are what matters to the average person not pointless benchmark results and a little bit of a speedup, and iPhone chronically lacks features compared to Android.

Say, if we're unwilling to buy a certain app at the current price, but would go if there was a discount.
