hi!

a friend of mine brought his wfs (gsm) to me that i've unlocked and flashed custom rom before. it froze during the day when the phone was idle and when he tried restarting it was stuck on the white htc splash screen. nothing has been tampered with so i tried the following:

*trying to boot into recovery(which it had cwm and running without problems before): still stuck on white htc splash screen after selecting recovery option.

*trying to re-flash recovery-boot-system (different kinds, custom, stock) from hboot, successfully flashes, doesn't boot

*at last resort, i relocked the bootloader, created a goldcard and flashed "RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed.exe" which successfully flashed, updated hboot, radio and flashed stock everything.

it finally booted into stock after 15 mins of splash screen. but when it gets to the locksreen, it doesn't respond to the touchscreen or the hardware buttons, the screen sleeps after some time, but hardware button lights stay on, and there's nothing i can do except for removing the battery.

i can't use adb logcat at this point since the debugging isn't enabled on the fresh rom.

after removing the battery and trying to reboot, it's stuck on htc splash again, i have to boot into fastboot, do a factory reset, wait another 15 mins to boot into the fresh rom to get stuck again.

my educated guess is that the nand is worn out.

any suggestions or questions about diagnosing what we might have?

thanks in advance!

[HTC Wildfire S] thelegbra:
i've reflashed cwm, didn't work. flashed stock recovery, but booting to stock recovery also took like 2-3 mins, more than it should have. flashed cwm again, doesn't boot into it, stays at white htc splash.
[HTC Wildfire S] vbhtt:
Well most of the methods that i know involve recovery, so you are pretty much screwed...

I decided i did not want my phone encrypted any more so i did a factory reset via clockworkmod recovery.

When it rebooted everything was fine except the internal sd is not mounted and i havent found a way to mount it i think it might be a problem with encrypting it.

How can i fix this?

Hi

I have recently switched back to MAK-DROID V2 after finding some serious bugs in MAK-DROID V3.

V2 (with VM00 kernel) is perfect for me as smooth as breeze. A big thanks to Sir Androsamace for such a wonderful ROM :)

I found V2 a perfect one. I know that in V4 all the following bugs in V3 will be removed:--->

1. Software Update option is not working any more.

2. Many apps istallation from Play Store give "Not Compatible with GT-S5300"

3. Density settings not perfect.

4. Menu background color is dull grey which has given the poor visibility.

5. Poor Icons resolution/visibility ( may be due to wrong Density Settings)

I hope Sir Androsamace would not mind if i mentioned all above bugs in otherwise mind-blowing wonderfull ROM

Also I m sorry if I m posting it in wrong section as I m new to forum and don know much about it.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaino:
Guys, I am planning on traveling to Malaysia this Christmas break for two weeks only. But, I am not sure what the best phone plan is going to be for me. I have Galaxy Note GT-N7000, but I am not sure about the frequency and other stuffs in Malaysia, but I would greatly appreciate your advice in getting me the best plan for only two weeks. I would rather use VOIP service instead of their voice talk because it's cheaper, but I know the internet in Malaysia was really slow three years ago when I was there. So, please let me know what is the best phone plan to take there while I will be there in Malaysia.:cool:

check out this: www .hotlink .com.my /web/portal/hotlink/hotlinkpage?

WCM_GLOBAL_CONTEXT=/web/wcm/connect/Hotlink_Content_lib_en/Home_Site_en/Hot_Ticket_SA_en

well you can try hotlink prepaid from maxis, you can have quite some options, you can buy daily 100MB for as low as MYR2, or you can get something call hot ticket which cost you MYR20 for 1.5GB for 1 week validity.

i think the speed was pretty ok at least i still can stream youtube without buffering...

hope that help :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Unibrow:
Was wondering if there was a way to have Tasker automate and toggle data from on to off and back on again.

For instance, in Paranoid Android and Cm10 if you have LTE/CDMA/EVDO set up in options, data is lost occasionally and the fix is to toggle airplane mode. Wondering if you could have Tasker automate this, I'm guessing that you could but I'm a noob with Tasker

what are the opinions of the "chosen ones" on using the nexus 4 as a media player? i use 320 kbps mp3 files and will be using a pair of sennheiser ie80 to listen with. can anyone compare what the new one sounds like compared to the galaxy nexus? thanks everyone, and i hope to join you all on monday!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backtoreality15:
Bump. Wondering the same thing.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kn100:
I don't have a galaxy nexus but sound quality is a bit meh, output volume compared to my previous phones is good but according to some people it is low. Sound quality is acceptable with almost no audible background noise or clicks when switching between modes. I am listening on sennheiser mx270's. So overall I'd say fine but most people rate the international s3 as being better.

I'd recommend getting yourself a fiio e5 if you care about sound quality and volume- it improves both IMO, makes sound more... Exciting, as in everything even when on lower volumes feels more fun/powerful.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abjexstallion:
Let's hope with future development, perhaps, tweaking with the hardware, will get more volume out of it. It is pretty low. And if I use the stock equalizer, sounds compressed. Not liking it :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanamesjames:
A bit of a bump. Are there any reviews of the chipset, or any more info on audio quality? Maybe some pretty colorful graphs that I can stare at and convincingly nod up and down like I understand?

Edit: Doing some research it looks like it uses the Qualcomm WCD9310, the same found in the US variant of the GS3.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Locksmith81:
I was spoiled on my Tmo GS2 running rezounds beats mod with resampling @ 96kHz :eek:

I have faith that this v nexus will achieve that as well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RaymieHumbert:
I've had this happen twice. When Chrome and Voice updated recently, their icons became the green bugdroid and could only be restored by readding the app to the home screen.

What causes this, and is this something to be concerned of? My Kindle Fire running CM10 has this exact same issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hlaalu:
Happens to me all the time after flashing. Just re add the icons and call it a day. Some how the icon/link gets broken.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaskaran498:
Hi all.

I just want to know something about the new multiwindow feature for our s3.

In note 2, we can open 2 apps at same time. That is, screen is divided into 2 parts for each app.

But on my s3, apps appear full screen when I launch from that Bar. It's just like launching an app and then pressing home button and launching other except that panel.

Is it normal? Or could it be because of my modding?

Please tell.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arsaw:
Launch an apps from the multiwindow bar and then drag another apps from the bar to the middle of your screen. The screen will split into two. Only supported for apps listed in the multiwindow bar
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gilonm:
You can also move ther split pint between the two windows - drag the middle horizontal slidet up or down to resize..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CP-93:
you can install a mod that makes every app you have compatible with multiwindow, some still dont work though

Sorry Mods if this is the wrong section was just 2 many threads with people having problems was easier then tryign to reply to them all.

No Dice

I got this to restore my phone to stock no problem. I followed this post to a T twice and upon updating my phone goes ape$hit every time.

So frustrated with Motorola right now.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
So... Don't update? I'm still on the original firmware, I don't see any benefit to updating.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] UnicronAlpha99:
Are you taking the update with any toggle mods, root (I.e. Superuser.apk installed), deodexed framework, battery 1% mods, power menu mod, custom boot logo, animation, etc? I never had problems taking the update with stock rom/recovery, unrooted, with no mods installed. I used this guide to restore stock when I was softbricked and bootlooping and the update worked after restoring stock recovery.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tune345:
screen comes like for a millisecond and then this " starting services" logo doesn't go at all...it just continues forever :(:(

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kaot5:
Hello everyone,

everything works fine until I tried to flash recovery stock. This errormassage is shown in my terminal:

target reported max download size of 31457280 bytes

error: cannot load 'Stock': No error

any ideas?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Hm... I thought the line should be

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Obviously replace recovery.img with your filename.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kaot5:
My filename is recovery.img. Is the storage limited? Previouse I had CWM now installed TWRP without deinstall, could this be a problem?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
What is this, I don't even...

Please try with the command I provided.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kaot5:
I'll try it tomorrow morning. I've forget my phone at work. This means in about 10hours. Many thanks in advance

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] enigma9o7:
Hi. I'm trying to figure this out, but the link for stock recovery you posted is dead.

So I want to clarify what you wrote above... are you saying to follow the instructions here (first post in this thread) but use the recovery.img from one of the zip files in that other link (i.e. asanti_c_sprint-user-4.1.2-9.8.2Q-122_XT897_FFW-5-6-release-keys-cid9.xml.zip)?

Do I need to use "RSD Lite" for something? You didn't mention it in your instructions, but it's mentioned a lot in that other thread...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Rangerbry:
You can use the RSD Lite file to return to stock the method in this thread was back before we had working RSD files
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] enigma9o7:
Thanks for reply. I did read that other thread but don't see any step-by-step instructions like you posted here and I'm very new at this and don't want to mess up my phone by not following directions carefully. Do you know any links to step-by-step instructions for the RSD method? Or is it as simple as downloading RSD Lite and just running it on a PC? Or do I need to do any of the other steps you listed first, such as following the instructions you linked for ADB and Fastboot installation? Or are none of the steps you mentioned needed?

It seems like if this is outdated information described here, moderator needs to unpin this and pin an updated appropriate thread here, I never would have thought to read something titled "FXG" as I have no idea what that even stands for or that it's related to updating my phone software.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Rangerbry:
If I remember once you start the RSD lite (download the correct version for your model) it has onscreen instructions
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] enigma9o7:
Done, although are you sure there's different versions of the software for different phones? I could only find two "versions" of RSD Lite 6.1.5 which that thread reccommends, one is "RSD Lite 6.1.5 + MTK Patch.rar" which contains two installers, one for the patch, and "www.xdrv.ru_rsdlite6.1.5.zip" which contains just the installer (and a link to a russian website). Neither archive contains any documentation. I installed the program but not sure if I should install the patch. The program doesn't have any on screen instructions or built-in help tho.

I really don't want to just experiment on my phone without instructions.

Would it work just to follow your instructions using the recovery.img from asanti_c_sprint-user-4.1.2-9.8.2Q-122_XT897_FFW-5-6-release-keys-cid9.xml.zip?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Rangerbry:
you use the .xml file in there and use RSD Lite to open it once it starts it has steps on screen

Many devs are busy deving on ics & jb to our ace that too they are trying hard to have all the features working. The technology you are talking about is a hard seen dream...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Millenium3:
True but with OMX working on ICS and close to be working in JB, we have almost fully working ICS and JB. We could try to do this for FUTURE ROMs :p
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Venomous Viper 119:
I haven't seen any videos of the technology you are talking about. Are there any hardware restrictions that our ace needs to overcome to have it working ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Millenium3:
If you refer to OMX, there are threads in xda for that.

If you refer to Qeexo, this is a very recent technology, I just saw in Engadget a few days ago.

Sent from a certain Galaxy Ace.

A thanks will be appreciated!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Venomous Viper 119:
No, I already know about OMX. I was asking about Qeexo. Anyways, by what it looks from the far, it still seems to impossible. Atleast for our ace. But let's hope the intelligent devs get this working some how !

Wanting to get a good screen protector, but unsure how or if any or all of them effect how the S-pen works. Do they make it less responsive or no difference?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmwitz:
Many people prefer the feeling

I have read on a few Swedish forums that many people actually prefer the feeling of writing on a screen protector. They say it feels more like writing with pen on paper. Others have obviously said the opposite. I guess it really depends on you. One guy swore by cheap hard plastic screen protectors because they let the S-Pen glide better and didn't get marked if you press to hard.

I have no screen protector at present but will investigate the hard plastic variety as I have tried military grade screen protectors and although they protect well they feel and look horrible in my opinion.

I don't see the point in having such a good screen that shows small text so welleand then covering it in what looks like bubble plast.

I have my phone rooted to put ICS firmware back on after jelly bean install since i was having battery drain issues. I have since put jelly bean back on (via google framework trick) and thought that would remove the root but its still on there..How do i remove it without losing everything?:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Is there a particular reason u don't want to be rooted? The easiest way would probably be via supersu complete unroot option. Download supersu from the play store, go to settings and follow the completely unroot option, when finished uninstall supersu and you'll be unrooted.

Sent from my SPH-L710
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Removing root is as simple as attaining it. Supersu has an unroot feature. If you're on superuser then just use adb or root explorer or es file explorer to remove /system/app/superuser.apk and /system/xbin/su (might have a /system/bin/su too. Remove that as well)

That has happened to me sporadically with every T-Mobile phone I've owned.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] k1ng617:
Same here. It seems to happen when the service gets iffy. I think what it is is the service over compensating and trying to make sure you get the message because there might of been a chance you didn't so it resends it. I'm not expert but that's what I'm thinking.

I rebooted (Holding End and then touching on my guess :p), but then I fell into a bootloop. And luckily, I didn't have a backup. So it's time for a new ROM. :D
