[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] colbymulkey:
This happened on an i957. There's a sub-forum for that device, but it's a development sub-forum; wasn't sure which place to post this.

The short of it:

I ODIN flashed a TAR for the official UCLK4 firmware for my i957, but I dropped the TAR in ODIN's PHONE slot instead of its PDA slot. Upon rebooting, my tablet now freezes at the AT&T's Rethink Possible splash screen.

I re-flashed the UCLK4 firmware in ODIN's (proper) PDA slot after I realized my mistake (after doing some research in the i957 sub-forum), but I'm still stuck at the AT&T logo.

Anyone have any recommendations?

The longer version:

I've been running AOKP (JB) on my i957 for a few weeks. It's a huge improvement over Samsung's Honeycomb ROM... but I was only-ever able to get HSPA+ working; was never able to get LTE. Today I saw that Samsung finally released the an ICS ROM for the i957. I wanted to try it out, but I wasn't able to "update" AOKP to UCLK4 using Kies.

I found the flashable TAR for UCLK4 on SamMobile.com, so I downloaded it and followed a walk-thru (on another site) that said to drop the TAR in ODIN's Phone slot. (It seemed weird, but I didn't question it.) I flashed the firmware in ODIN's Phone slot, rebooted, and got stuck on AT&T's Rethink Possible splash screen.

It didn't take long to realize I was following bad advice, and that I should have flashed with ODIN's PDA slot, so I...

Flashed UCLK4 in ODIN's PDA slot. I still had the same problem. I could never get past the AT&T Rethink Possible splash screen.

I tried to re-flash the stock kernel on top of UCLK4, following the instructions here, but that resulted in my tablet hanging after the Samsung boot logo, but before the AT&T splash screen.

I re-flashed UCLK4, and now I'm back to the Rethink Possible splash screen.

I'm still able to get into Download mode, so I don't think I'm bricked... but I'm not sure what I need to do. (Maybe I can use ODIN to reflash a proper PHONE file? Can anyone help me produce this file?) Does anyone have any recommendations?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] YellowRex:
Same problem. Thought I'd give the official I957 ROM a try, Kies won't work, and when I flashed with Odin, I got stuck at the AT&T splash screen. I did not make the mistake with the PDA / PHONE file on the first run. I did try to flash again with Odin, no change.

The tar file should have included a kernel; a new kernel version is part of the HC -> ICS upgrade process. And the kernel from that other post is probably an HC kernel, which won't work with the stock ICS ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jd1639:
I had the same problem I installed twrp recovery and wiped everything, factory reset, etc then installed ics with Odin and it worked fine after that.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] YellowRex:
Thanks!

I didn't even have to do the re-install. I rebooted into the stock recovery (power + volume up) and wiped cache and did a factory reset. Came right up into the setup screen.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jd1639:
Great! That would have taken less steps. But whatever way you do it it seems the factory reset is necessary.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
i installed the HC stock then flashed this and it worked. i also had the hangup problem but that fixed it.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] colbymulkey:
Thanks! I did a factory reset and wiped my cache and everything is working now. I feel a little ridiculous for not trying that on my own...

In the panic of the moment, I (somehow) just assumed that recovery wouldn't work. One should never assume that!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] marcioepc:
Thanks

Thanks a lot! I did a factory reset and wiped out my cache and everything is working fine now. :good:

I am new to the custom rom thing but I am loving it because I was about to throw this phone away "Xperia S" but after playing around with roms and kernels I am back to liking my phone again. My question is related to the battery, I added the PAC rom V18 and I also added the Nova kernel V5 but my only complaint is the battery is drained very fast that it doesn't go through the day, I am an average user so I don't listen to music or watch movies. Is there a solution or a kernel that can improve the battery life.

Thanks

This is great :)! As a fun little DIY project you could build a pocket (Semi large pockets that is) size ADB box that is battery powered that you can easily carry around to diagnose phones and preform various hacks (Some what similar to AdamOutler's hackbox but more compact and battery powered), I might be tempted to give this a try when I get some more time on my hands.
[Raspberry Pi General] Nizda1:
Thanks, this is awesome! I was looking for a new reason to use my battery powered kit.

Thanks for this.

But i have a problem with that adb version:

I only get 1 connected device listed. After plugin second device only one device is listed with "adb devices".

If i unplug the first device, "adb devices" shows the second device.
[Raspberry Pi General] trevd:
I believe this one is a standard adb for the PI although [MENTION=3682533]AdamOutler[/MENTION] will be able to confirm that. If that doesn't work properly then the problem's at your end :)
[Raspberry Pi General] blobbsen:
device shown as offline...

Hi Folks,

I tested the files above and the latest version of the adbOnPi from AdamOutler.

The "adb devices" command shows the serial of the device but it shows up as "offline" not as "device".

seems to be a problem with the whitlisting of the debug host, because i don't get a confirmation dialog on the android device as normal.

I used a Nexus 5 with android 4.4.4

Did anybody have the same problems or could give me a hint?

Thanks!

Hey guys, i copied adb to bin folder and typed "adb version" it worked. But other commands doesn't work like "adb devices"

it just stucks

In console, I typed

"ifconfig lo up"

Hi this is my second post in like a few mins. Embarrassing but oh well xD. So I just wanted to ask how do I flash my first custom ROM? I have root and a unlocked bootloader. Phone is an Xperia Pro from fido and I do have CWM Recovery installed. Am I safe to flash a rom? I really need to know because my phone is out of warranty -.-

THANKS!!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dannyvld:
If your phone is already rooted i think you can just flash roms yeah, be sure to make a backup before, if it doesnt work you can just restore the backups.

here's your checklist :)

1. rooted

2. have cwm

:highfive:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangosierra_:
Short answer; yes.

Just make sure you backup your current Rom in case sth happens
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pren22:
Nothing is safer than flashing a Rom.There is just a thing you will lose all your data if you don't do a cwm backup and something goes wrong with flashing.But read a bit and you'll figure it out in no time.Good luck and welcome in the world of flashing and modding.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
Wrong.

Continuously using fully stable and tweaked stock ROM is a lot more safer than flashing a new one.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realfelix:
When it occurs after 5-10 minutes, its likely to be caused by the thermal throttling.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schnuerschuh007:
Yes, but it happens in other games not so strongly :(.

And this game should not need so much power.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LiTDiE:
Hi all, sorry my first post is asking for help, but I'm lost on this one.

It doesn't happen all the time, but I randomly get a dead spot on the bottom right corner of my phone.

It happens when I touch the app drawer, and the L key when I'm texting. It only randomly acknowledges I touched the screen.

Restarting the phone usually helps, but does that mean it's software or hardware?

Should I have it replaced?

Stock VZW Note II, no apps installed.

Ty for any and all help.

-edit-

It was replaced for a bad digitizer.

When using Multitouch visibility test, if you put more then 4 fingers on the screen, it locked up the phone requiring removal of the battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Perhaps instead of software, could it be heat?

It sounds like a dead/dying pixel to me. If it is only there on certain screens, then probably not, but if its there on say the boot screen or something, then I'd take it back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LiTDiE:
silhet ingliil

I'm sorry I should have been more specific.

It's not a screen blemish.

It's when I go to tough the screen.

Like if I hit the L key on the keyboard during a text message, it will only register a touch like 50% of the time.

Or if I touch the app drawer, I have to hit it multiple times to open it up.

The actual screen is perfect, no dead or stuck pixels at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] phind123:
I'd return to Verizon, especially if you're not rooted so it won't be any trouble returning to stock etc.

It's probably mildly annoying to you now and it's only going to get worse over time. If there's no physical damage to the phone I don't see them giving you any trouble.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LiTDiE:
No damage at all, and I actually went through 3 screen protectors before I figured out it wasn't them.

Kinda bummed I have to drive 45 miles to return this damn thing though.:eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TonikJDK:
You don't. Call VZ and they will ship you another and give you a prepaid box to ship the old one back in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LiTDiE:
I actually called them, and they told me to just take it back to the store in case the replacement has issues.

Which is troubling to hear.:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LiTDiE:
I have a youtube video demonstrating the problem, but I won't let me post it so ohwell.

Will have to wait til I get 10 posts.

Basically, using multitouch visibility test, I roll my finger around the bottom right corner while never lifting it off, and it won't recognise my trying to touch the specific spot.

After I life my finger and move it around the screen it will recognise the spot. It's very random.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LiTDiE:
Here's the video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGl9RoBLpjA

-edit-

The youtube tags aren't working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LiTDiE:
So what do you all think?

Hardware or software?

After further messing around in Multitouch Visibility test, I can replicate this all over the screen, but it's easiest to do at the bottom right corner where L shows up on the keyboard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jay A whY:
Do u have a case with any magnets on it?

Sent from my SCH-I605
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaWolf850:
That would only affect the S-Pen, from what I understand.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LiTDiE:
Nah, it was a bad digitizer they said.

Whenever you put multiple fingers on screen, it would lock up, and require yanking the battery to reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wyatt57350:
When you notice this are you holding the S-pen? I noticed if you get the pen near the screen (close enough for air hover to work) that the screen and buttons quit working to touch. For a little while I thought the home button was having problems, turned out the way I was holding the pen would result in it being placed near the screen when I hit the button.

Wyatt W.

edit:see this was taken care of
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LiTDiE:
The main reason I noticed it was when I was texting.

Whenever I went to type words like sleep, or talk, they would be missing the letter L.

Or when I would go to open the app drawer, and it would only work half the time.

All while the pen was in the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mi7chy:
The lockup doesn't sound normal but as far as dead spots if you have a screen protector on have you tried removing it? Marginal screen protectors will cause touch input issues.

Hi all! now i understand that threads debating the 'Best' ROM, theme, app, mod or setting arent something XDA is fond of, but thats not the particular reason I'm here, I've looked through countless threads in the mod/theme section and I'm wondering if someone can help me find the best solution for me. I'm relatively technically minded and a half-decent IT worker but I will openly admit when it comes to development/flashing, I'm one to follow instructions to the letter to get what I need up and working, but never learn the deeper workings.

I've an unbranded i9300 which I've had flashed with CM 10/10.1 and have kept updating with nightlies, but now I seek to branch out and find a ROM that will allow me the super-stability, additional working features (Allshare Cast [in particular], NFC, multi-view) of the stock Samsung image. I've since flashed philz custom touch recovery, and then proceeded to flash Sotmax Jelly Bean Ultimate Stock V10 available here. Its provided all the features I want, working, a good kernel and some customizability but the cartoony, colourful Samsung visuals are the reason I flashed from stock in the first place.

Can anyone help me find anything I can add to my device to get me a stock 4.1.2 lock screen, dropdown/notifications, launcher and settings? Essentially as much of the UI from CM10.1 as possible. I flashed Domination 1.4.3 as it looked and seemed perfect - but didn't change the lockscreen, and i started noticing lots of lag when scrolling/opening apps instantly. Is it thoroughly incompatible with the ROM im looking to use, or have i done something wrong along the way?

If this is a noob thread i do apologize but these forums can be so cluttered and misorganized to someone unused to searching through them that it can be hard to find something - if you dont know exactly what it is you need.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danyelb:

Ive since found the Null ROM here and it also seems to be exactly what we want/need from scratch, a mix of 4.1.2, Samsung Features, and a CM/AOKP look and feel. Still missing that lock screen though. Holo locker is the look that i desire - but it seems to lag when switching on, the normal homescreen displays for up to a second before it reverts to the lock. odd..

Also Read that nexus 4 are coming up with similar IPhone 5 glue issue when phone gets warm?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliot.newnham:
Nexus 4 is ips and displays some gorgeous blacks! Realistic color as well. Solid performance and great contrast. Best Ips I've ever used. (iPhone 5 is arguably better)

You do see some idiots complaining about back light bleed (full brightness dark room) which is a limitation of the technology. Some are better than others. Mine has one little bit of bleed at the top. That's what auto brightness is for....

Galaxy Nexus doesn't produce black but instead turns off the pixel thus making it pitch black. Which is cool, but it's like comparing apples and oranges. Besides that colors are over saturated (people love this for some reason) and there is burn in and ghosting.

Regards, someone who is tired of this debate.

Edit: just note, you're buying an IPS panel, know this before you buy it. If you want AMOLED buy Samsung.
