Make sure you have the drivers installed correctly, and make sure Kies is closed (even in task manager)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmedalmatbaee:
sir i closed it from TM and i have istalled the drivers correctly but it doesnt appear on odin
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
Try a different cable, computer, usb plug.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmedalmatbaee:
Ohhhh no it is not appearing damn it ive used my brothers pc and his cable the same thing it will not appear in odin and i tried 2 versions of odin
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmedalmatbaee:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
Go to www.sammobile.com and download a stock firmware for your device and flash through Odin. Then you can start over :)

So I'm on 2.20, and I rooted earlier using the djrbliss method. I flashe TWRP 2.3.1.0 and tried to flash CM10. I saw that I have to flash the boot image first so I went to do that, but I can't mound my SD card anymore. Is there any way to fix that?

Well I haven't found anything that has worked so far. The method Xs uses to fix "corrupted and unmountable" sd cards doesn't work. I try opening the cmd in there and it immediately closes. If anyone has any ideas, please share them.

I had the same issue with mounting SD in twrp when I rooted my first hox. However my PC still found the SD and asked me to format. I did a fat32 and copied my ROM to SD just fine.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrpurplehawk:
I already tried that but I decided to try again and it worked. Thank you very much. One last question. Do I flash the boot.img before or after I flash the rom/gapps? Also, do I flash the boot.img in Fastboot USB or through recovery like the rom/gapps?

sorry for inconvenience ... i'm a noob .. :)

1st of all i have a Galaxy S II

Android version 4.0.3

Baseband version I9100XXLPX

Kernel version 3.0.15-I9100JPLPF-CL644992

dpi@DELL 178#3

i was using a Nokia C7 .. on symbian system of course , i noticed when i used the android .. that there's no exit button in most of the apps ,alot of apps remain running on the background and literally eat the battery,

yet there are app which i usually need them to be still running like the internet browsers (opera,chrome)&the facebook agent for android : in other words when i browse a site then by long press the main button to enter the task manger to switch to another app (whatsapp for example) when i return back to the net browser i find it restarting as if i run it for the 1st time & reload the page from the beaning as i just opened it .. it happens with all net browsers event the integrated android browser as well as the android facebook agent, this issue is very annoying to me & consumes alot of time.

is there an option to control the apps i want to terminate & the apps i want to remain running in the background to switch in between by long press on the main button (as it was in Nokia).

i heard about rooting .. Does rooting allow me to control these issues??

Do i have to use the exact baseband version of my phone for rooting as i didn't find XXLPX but i found GDXLP6 or DXLP9 , XXLQ5 ... etc

what this code signify for ??

i know i talked alot & i took a time in describing a usually trivial problem, but for me it's very important.

thanks for patience.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Wow,nice long,well presented post,really struggled to get to the end there.

If you want to have more control over your phone then ROOT it.

Then you can use apps to remove unnecessary system things that are running etc.

Oh,and when posting,include vital info like exact model/pda.............not crap like baseband(unless its a baseband problem).

OK someone posted some pretty detailed instructions for doing the S3 on boost so I gave it a go.

failed. can not get the S3 to be "read" in QXDM so can't write anything to it.

The fellow who MADE the directions tried to help me but we can not get it readable in QXDM

QPST shoes com but says no phone and qxdm just says waiting.

now he DID this to hos S3 and it worked BUT now when he plugs HIS S3 into QXDM he also gets no phone and "waiting"

SO we are thinking its the ROMS on the phone. I have one ICS and one JB (same results for both) but both are non stock (I am downloading a stock rom now to see if that does anything)

anyone have any idea's ??
[General Questions and Answers] bretthutton:
Questions below are related to programming review of an ATO product functions, please answer if you have used ICS ATO

1. In settings does ICS ATO have the 'Profile' option.

2. is the 'Google Search' widget option locked on screen.

3. Desktop menu does the menu options allow ICON's 'Back to Back' next to 'Bin button', meaning 'Two icons' in one slot without making a folder first.

4. Under 'Settings / Battery' should there be option to show 'Battery percentage'.

5. Under 'Settings / Display' should there be a 'Taskbar' option.

4. If on Telstra next generation are you getting '4G'

These are important questions in reviewing the programming of branded Mobiles.

There is no need to keep posting new threads, just either use the one that you created before or post in the help thread by tinky1.

In answer to your question you put the .apk file onto your SD card then use a file explorer app to browse to the file and install the apk.
[HTC Sensation] seangeezy12:
how can i? my phone is in a bootloop? i dunno how to access SD card through recovery
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Well you could have mentioned that your phone was in bootloop in the first post, would have been very helpful.

You need to download the actual recovery.img and flash it, follow point 2 in the guide below by -Asskicker-

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
From my testing, they don't work. I have a USB to IDE/SATA reader for recovering data from HDDs, it will also work with optical drives. On Android (CM9) I can use HDDs with this reader just fine, but optical drives don't work, and I didn't really expect them to. An actual USB optical drive may yield different results than a desktop drive through an adapter.

There is a risk of data loss with a random reboot or if you let your battery completely drain so backups.....

Turning off the journaling of ext 4 /data partition. Borrowed method from craiggomez discussed here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bOFyLXsv1WYV3rGVI72wyeItHjmayQZN-KuwhfV4TyM/edit?pli=1

when used on the thrill it improves random read speed 10x and doubles random write speed.

Basically a lag reduction. In the event of an emergency, I did not make you try this.

Just for fun try running androbench on your /data partition and save those results for after.

open cwm, Run a backup (you know why you need these)

connect to computer via usb

open adb shell from command prompt in directory where adb is located (using vista or higher you can hold shift and right click inside the folder you have adb in and select "open command window here" to bring up dos prompt)

copy and paste these commands at command prompt after shell is started

e2fsck -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 (you man need to push enter a lot here depending on how jacked your file system is as this command checks and repairs your file system. If it asks for permission to fix something Keep hitting enter until its done (you can hold the button down if need be))

tune2fs -O ^has_journal -c 1 -i 1d -m 0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 (this step does the dirty work. Note that first O is a capital o and the second 0 is zero)

e2fsck -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 (this step checks the file system again because why not?)

this last step checks to make sure you did it right. If the output of the command does not include has_journal you are good to reboot.

tune2fs -l /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 | grep features

I would wait about 15-20 minutes and try to run androbench again to see how it compares.

If you dont like the results you can just boot back to cwm and restore from that backup I know you made before you started.
[LG Thrill 4G] BG64:
Thanks for this! I'll be sure to try it when I need to get some extra speed in my ROMs.
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
Will this improve speeds even with a UHS-1 class card? Or will you only see a real difference in lower speed SDs?
[LG Thrill 4G] whycali:
This turns of the journaling function of the ext4 /data partition of your internalsd.

as a reference.

My androbench test of the /data before the mod is this

Sequential read 21.8 mb/s

Sequential write 4.73 mb/s

Random read 230.49 IOPS(4k) about .9mb/s

Random write 30.87 IOPS(4k) about .12mb/s

after disabling jounrnaling on my ext4 /data partiton

Sequential read 33.48 mb/s

Sequential write 8.08 mb/s

Random read 2762.06 IOPS(4k) about 10mb/s

Random write 74.77 IOPS(4k) about .29mb/s
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
Yeah I understand what it does, but I just wasn't sure if an already fast SD card would see an improvement since it most likely doesn't struggle as much with the journaling as a class 4 or lower would.
[LG Thrill 4G] whycali:
this has nothing to do with the removable sd card. If you can figure out what it will take to move the /data partition over to the removable sd from my experience it would greatly improve the random write times but probably halve the improvements made in random read time.

For example with /data moved to external class 10 sandisk ultra you might see random write as high as .8 but, random read would probably top out at 6mb/s instead of the 10 I am seeing from the internal sd. This would also introduce difficulty making usable backups of data.

Hello guys I just got may galaxy S3 from a friend. I think the bootloader is still unlocked after I received an OTA today. I don't have root or recovery. I just want to be sure I use the correct root and recovery method. Could someone point me to the one they used on this build with success? I would be greatly appreciated. I did look but none are specific enough for me to be sure I'm using the correct one.

Is my bootloader still unlocked if it says (custom)?

Again I appreciate any help

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nghtrain88:
As long as you have one of the stock builds listed in section 2 of that thread you should be good. The EZ-unlock app should be able to tell you if you're BL is unlocked.. also if you reboot the phone, if the samsung splash flashes for a split second (the one before you see Samsung Galaxy SIII), then you're prob unlocked.. if you see it for a few seconds then you're prob locked

Man I rooted flashed recovery in rom manager. (recovery wouldn't stick) so I flashed it again after making a nandroid and ended up having to recover a soft brick at 4am. Thank God for puremotive's guide on how to recover from it I was able to be back up. I don't know what went wrong. Because I didn't have busy box. Maybe I shouldn't have used the latest recovery rom manager flashes? I'm on stock with root and afraid to move anywhere! Anyone know how to make recovery stick on stock rom? I've never had this happen. Usually I would be OK and on to try AOSP on other devices uve had. Right now I'm rooted on stock rom with bootloader unlocked and have OTA root keeper in case I get another OTA. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Take care
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
How did you unlock your bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mike216:
With the app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Ok, issue is probably that you used the current version 1.4 I think. In the app description in the playstore is a link to older versions, you want 1.2. The new ones are unlocking, but it's not sticking. There is also a link in the current root guide somewhere, but direct from the play store is fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] levilib:
link for ez-unlock 1.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mike216:
Let me be more specific because I may have had a locked bootloader.

I received the phone yesterday from my friend. He did unlock the bootloader with the app. I installed the official OTA from Verizon as soon as I got it. I rooted it. I didn't bother trying to unlock the bootloader because after the OTA when it booted it said custom with a lock symbol on boot up. I rooted and flashed the latest recovery from rom manager. I'm sure I picked the right phone. I made a nandroid but my recovery wouldn't stick. I remember it saying something about Co firming something about a recovery and I could have chosen yes. It sounded like CWM wouldn't stick if I choose yes?

I don't know if the OTA locked my bootloader back up?

I would like to try again. Any of you guys no how to make recovery stick on stock rom? I would like to try paranoid android. What recovery should I be on to flash this jelly bean based rom? I would really appreciate anyone who knows how I screwed up or has went straight to JB from a specific CWM recovery. I'm also not sure if I should said yes or know when in CWM when asking me that recovery question. I wish I remember what the question was
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
The app doesn't actually check the bootloader. It just keeps the info in the app data. Meaning if you unlock with the app then uninstall ezunlock and then reinstall it won't know if you're locked or unlocked.

I'm 90% sure you wouldn't have been able to install the OTA if your bootloader was unlocked. The 'custom' on the boot doesn't mean that, and now that I think of it the fact you saw that proves that you aren't unlocked.

If you're still stock rooted then download the EZ unlock 1.2 from the link above and also go find EZ recovery on the market. Do not use the market version of EZ unlock. Now it doesn't matter what order you do it in but unlock your bootloader with the app them use EZ recovery to flash your recovery. Then you're all set to flash ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mike216:
Thanks for everything Boss! That probably was the reason my recovery wouldn't stick. I used the link to grab easy unlock 1.2. I'm now unlocked, rooted. I want to flash an AOSP based rom (paranoid android) what recovery should I flash? The newest in rom manager or the slightly older one EZ-Recovery has to offer?

Thanks once again!
