No. Not a case of CF Auto Root bricking touchscreen. It is a clear case of user failure.

I really don't understand how people manage to brick their phone. Everyday i see new thread about bricked phone's.

Even if it is user mistake or the application, we have to help him out, but the fact here is he brick it with cf auto root and i am not blaming the application or anyone.

I think there is one case in general or qa thread cause i commented there. Just lazy on searching

If ever you brick your touch just read this thread it will help you out for warranty(cause once i also brick my touch with ta)

Maybe others forgot to check the condition of phone before flashing like low battery percentage, what kernel, rom etc that may affect the flashing programs ( just a guess )

So I rooted my phone about a month ago and I'm wanting to unroot it and go back to stock. I followed the unroot post in the developers section and did everything right...or so I thought. I downloaded the stock ROM dated 12/12 and went into Odin to flash it and it freezes on the mapping step. I restarted the phone and the computer, downloaded another stock ROM from a YouTube video someone posted on here, tried another USB port. Nothing worked. My phone works fine I just want to go back to stock to get the factory update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Addiso:
Why don't you just flash a rom that is K3? It's the exact same thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phoenixaldana01:

Umm, why are you even following that? Do you have a Verizon S3 or an international model?

For the Verizon model, returning to stock is simple, and its spelled out in a series of simple steps listed in the development Guide. I will link you to that Guide, please read Section 5 regarding retuning to stock:

Regarding Odin, all you will tick is "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time". Do NOT check anything else. Flash the file in the "PDA" section. Do NOT flash anything in any section other than PDA.

Thats the only link that kind of told me about the mapping step. Thats all i have ticked but it still gets stuck on that step.

I did a duma$$ move. I flashed a rom on top of a different rom without wiping.

- Phone boots up

- Boot animation displays

- Freezes on 'Android' Screen

- Does not go into Recovery

- Does not go into Download mode

- PC doesn't see it, but pc makes a sound when I plug it in, and drivers attempt to install when I plug in to pc (fail)

- Kies takes a while but I got "This device is not supported by Kies 2.0. Please try again'

Any and all help is appreciated.

if you got into download mode and odin'ed back to stock and it gets stuck on the "samsung with the blue logo behind it" boot screen than you have to go to stock recovery and wipe data and cache there and reboot, i had the same problem earlier but mine could get into recovery and download mode but it wouldnt wipe the data it would just turn off whenever i tried to

HOLY S-H-I-T SNACKS! I got into download mode. Rather then pressing Volume UP + Home + Power, I did same but Volume Down, and I'm Golden.

to get into the stock recovery you hold volume up and home and the power button at the same time, use the volume keys to move up and down and power button to select than wipe data and cache and reboot

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mizunox:
I like usability of Chrome on android but decided not to use it with my previous phone, a nexus s, because it was too slow. I assumed it was made for newer hardware.

Thats why im surprised that with my new Galaxy Note 2 it still seems a bit slow.

Definitely much slower than the stock samsung browser.

When I load a content rich site in Chrome and try to scroll the movement is choppy and lags quite a bit.

Have others noticed this as well?

Its a shame because I like how Chrome syncs with the desktop client so I can access my open tabs on the go.

Just looking for opinions.. are most people using the stock browser?

hi guys,

yesterday i updated my i9000 to AOKP 4.2.1 jelly bean

i saw on the phone status the free ram is like 80-09mb sometimes jumps to 50-40mb but it still low

it makes to games be laggy (like Subway surfers for ex')

any ideas what to do ? someway to increase it ?

Try using another rom, but you could also try flashing another kernel. But I would juggest you use cm10 because in my opinion there's almost no difference between 4.2.1 and 4.1.2.

Currently I have flashed viperROM IC3D Beta 3.1 http://d-h.st/Adj. WhenI go into viperROM Updater is states: "Old Version You are running and old Rom-Version. To use the updater you have to upgrade manually etc." and it brings me to the page of viperROM Redline v2.5 RC2 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192628. I then downloaded the viperROM Redline v2.5 RC2 off the website since I cannot do it on the viperROM Updater. I tried a couple of methods to get viperROM Redline v2.5 RC2. One was to download it and flash the ROM through recovery, but it doesn't seem to flash properly since it won't boot up after flashing it. One thing I noticed is that it doesn't mention flashing a kernel when the ROM flash is in pregress. I also put the .zip file onto my sdcard and attempted to run it through viperROM Updater, but t forece closes each time. I can't use viperROM Updater because I am apparently running and old Rom-Version. Thanks for any advice

i hate mtp. won't work at all on my win8 PC (worked on win7) and can't enable UMS and no app i've tried works.

so far i'm turning the phone off, taking out the mSD card, inserting it into an SD adapter, inserting that into a USB adapter and then connecting to my PC. that's still faster and easier than using MTP or any airdroid equivalent.

TeamWin Recovery Project

v2.3.2.3

Description:

As stated on the team win site

Key Features:

Graphical touchscreen interface with buttons and drag-to-scroll!

Ability to choose to compress backups – now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)

Compressed backups that can save you up to 50% disk space

Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore

Custom names for backups, rename and delete backups inside recovery

Integrated Terminal Emulator

Install queues allow you to install multiple zips in one go (e.g. CM9 zip together with gapps zip)

Easy one-button cache & dalvik cache clearing after an installation

Recovery settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots

File Manager that allows you to move, copy, delete and rename files and change their permissions

Battery percentage indicator, charging indicator and clock (set your timezone in settings!)

Reboot into download mode (bootloader)

Decryption of /data

Easy selection of internal/external storage

ADB support

Sideloading for automated ROM install: No outside links.

Detailed logfile

XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout – true theming!

See changelog below for 2.3 features

What's new in 2.3:

-Rebased onto AOSP Jelly Bean source code

-Rewrote backup, restore, wipe, and mount code in C++ classes for easier maintenance going forward

NOTE: backups from prior versions of TWRP are still compatible with 2.3

-ADB sideload functionality from AOSP is included in 2.3, see this link for more info

-Re-wrote fix permissions entirely in C++ and runs in a few seconds instead of a few minutes (thanks to bigbiff)

-Improvements to zip finding in OpenRecoveryScript (should be a lot fewer GooManager automation issues)

-Faster boot times

-Added charging indicator while in recovery (only updates once every 60 seconds)

What works:

Backup & restore

Mount & Unmount partitions

Mount USM

What does not work:

Any sort of power functionality(reboot recovery, reboot system..)

Install:

Automatic

Download twrp-lge-ls840.zip

Extract and run install-linux.sh | install-windows.bat

Reboot into recovery by either using

adb reboot recovery

Or pressing the vol- and power keys simultaneously then letting go when you see an instructions screen then pressing power twice

Manual

from console(linux/windows)

adb push recovery.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
adb shell "su -c 'dd if=/data/local/tmp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13'"
adb reboot recovery

Note: By downloading and installing the recovery package you take sole responsibility for any damages caused to your device.

Addendum: ICS compatibility is yet to have been worked out so as of now this is GB only.

Download: Attached because outside links not allowed.

Decided to release public build as it seems backup & restore work well enough. Have fun with it and tell me what you think.

Here is the latest facebook official app with location 'feature' removed.

I am not sure if you guys who use the app know this, but facebook constantly tracks your location. There is a receiver built into the app that every time you "refresh" the app (Interval settings are found in the settings menu of Facebook) it gets your location and everything you do on Facebook, post a status, send a message, upload a photo etc, your location is added and you cannot turn it off..

So i decompiled the apk and removed all locations ability. That means, no checking in, no nearby, nothing that needs to get your location. You WILL get a forced close. I am working on trying to keep that enabled while dissabling the 'tracking' featrue. Just download, copy apk to your phones storage and use a file browser to install the APK.

Hope you guys enjoy the privacy while also enjoying the Facebook app.

Good idea, but I've turned my location of and it never shows my location when posting any thing.. when I send a private message it gives me the option to turn location of.. is this the same location receiver you are disabling from the app?
[Android Apps and Games] elesbb:
This mod will possibly use a tiny bit less. But it uses so much for its Cache. So things are loaded a lot faster and what not.

Are you talking about turning your location off under settings of your phone? Well thats different. There is no way to turn it off in the FB app itself. You can turn off the location thing for your messages but its still secretly getting your location.

[Android Apps and Games] codyrt:
I don't mean to hijack the thread, but a good app that stops location requests for any application is LBE Security Master. It will prompt you each time an application requests to use certain permissions. You can also check a box to never allow the application to access that setting, in this case it would be location.

Just search on XDA to find it, I'm on my phone and I don't think the app is on the market.

Whenever i tried using a third party app to block GPS to the Facebook app, it would cause the FB app to force close irregardless what you did.

I'll try the app and see what happens. Not sure how it goes about granting and denying access. In all honesty i was looking for something like this.
[Android Apps and Games] codyrt:
Just don't use LBE Privacy Guard on jelly bean, it caused my phone to freeze a few minutes after turning on and then rebooted and got stuck in that loop. The only way to resolve it was to use adb and remove the apps file.

The app I mentioned in my post above doesn't seem to have any issues besides that parts of it are in Chinese.
[Android Apps and Games] elesbb:
So you confirm it works with Facebook?
[Android Apps and Games] Mac of York:
Works great so far -- subscribed to this thread -- thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] codyrt:
As far as I can tell it does. When I open Facebook, LBE pops up and asks me if I want to allow Facebook to track my location. It detects whether Facebook is using location tracking through WiFi or through GPS. I have not checked to see my posts to see if location is attached to them.
[Android Apps and Games] elesbb:
Interesting.. I wonder if it's blocking "locationmanager.getlastknownlocation" as well. This method doesn't access any hardware. It just reads what the last location known was. Meaning if any other app has access to your GPS and gets a lock, that location is remembered and then used by above method.

I feel much more comfortable completely removing the actual physical code :P no offence to your option though.

And for a thread update, I learned a new tool to help figure out what gets called where. :) so I might be able to add the ability to check in as well as use "nearby" in the app. And just disable the tracking!
[Android Apps and Games] codyrt:
Yeah, I'm still using your MOD too, I really don't need Facebook accessing my location so you can never be too safe about that.

Hi, there are still some Facebook services running all the time in the background although I have deactivated all notifications. Do you know which services these are?
[Android Apps and Games] elesbb:
Sort of. I know when notifications are enabled there is a service running. Also what's your refresh interval set at? If that's not disabled then that's what the service is.

If not it may just be in "empty applications" part of androids memory manager. Meaning it's dead but still there to increase launch time. I'm running cm10 and I use the "hold back to kill" option on Facebook so mine is 100 percent gone.
