[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rezadh:
hello guys, I just newbie. I hope you can help me.

I just failed to root/flashing my SGS-2 (GT-I9100-intl-android4.0.4-I9100DXLPB) with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5.zip through odin3 and my phone ended up failed to boot (keep showing blackscreen with sgs2 logo + yellow triangle below it) and then the phone is shutdown. but it's still can boot into recovery mode and download mode...

so.. I tried to fix it by flashing the Stock ROM I9100DXLPF_I9100OLBLPF_XSE (download from sammobile.com) through odin3. As a result, these steps successfully fixing my phone!! :victory:

but, what makes me confused is :confused: after succed flashing it back to the stock ROM, my android version is still 4.0.4+I9100DXLPB (the pre-FailedToRoot) and not 4.0.3+I9100DXLPF (according to the ROM that I downloaded from sammobile.com above.

is this normal? please give your opinion? what should I do??

thanks..

P.S : SOrry for my bad english.. I hope you understand what I'm saying.. :laugh:

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a rom that is the closest to stock android but allows me to use my Galaxy S3 MHL adapter to connect to my HDTV?

I was very interested in flashing CyanogenMod until I found out that I would not be able to output to my TV.

Thank you.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetorrr:
I apologize in advance for my english.

Hi guys, I think I have a big problem with my GSIII.

My phone is rooted, WanamLite 5.2 ELL5, Phenomenal 4.0 Extreme; my carrier is Vodafone and my plan provides 1 GB per month of navigation.

I started to notice a massive (relative to me) money consumption.

Yesterday, when I had 28 cents left, my credit decreased to 8 cents after

receiving

a SMS (18 cents is the standard cost of a SMS for my plan) but I wasn't doing anything! Further checks let me discover that using the secret sms plug-in of the "Hide it pro" app costs 18 cents for every SMS received or sent, even if my plan provides them.

I obviously disinstalled the app, but I wanted to wait a bit, to check if all it's ok.

Some time later (a couple of hours), with still 8 cents left and doing nothing, I received a SMS from Vodafone, informing me that my credit wasn't sufficient for doing what I wanted to! I wiped data (factory reset) from CWM and also a factory data restoration (from the settings).

Today, still 8 cents left, at 13 o'clock I received another SMS from Vodafone like the previous one (yesterday).

Do you think that the problem is related to the phone (dunno, a virus?), or not?

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Use the free app "Permission Explorer" and check which apps are allowed to receive or send SMS or do phone calls.

Obvisously something is not quite as it is supposed to be.

Stock and some stockish Samsung roms have the Exynos Camera bug which allows any app to gain root access and thus install itself in the system itself and by consequence prevent being removed by a full-wipe. Any app you used which uses root could also have done the same. Not saying this actually did happen but it's a very real possibility. Only completely secure solution is to flash a full firmware (including recovery!) from Odin since theoretically CWM cannot be trusted either anymore, should the phone be compromised.

Easy steps would be:

- flash back to stock (any stock)

- flash Siyah through Odin

- boot to CWM (should be included in Siyah)

- factory-reset the phone

- install a freshly downloaded copy of Wanamlite

- reinstall Siyah kernel

- restore your apps and data (obviously making sure you trust all and any that require access to the camera, sending SMS or such)

On a side-note: I know that some crazy phone providers actually cost to RECEIVE sms and not only send. Could it be you are receiving SMS' from someone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetorrr:
Thanks a lot (I already know, however, about Camera Bug reported from Faryaab ;)).

I'll proceed as you wrote, only one question: why Siyah?

However, Vodafone doesn't apply costs for received SMSs from standard numbers (even of other carriers), as the one I received the message from.

In attach files there is the list of apps with "write sms permission".

Now I'm going to flash through Odin stock Ita firmware, I already have it...

WTF is joyn?!?!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetorrr:
UPDATE!!!

I restored again from settings. When it completed, I received the usual sms from Vodafone about insufficient credit! WTF?

Now I'll flash stock Ita...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetorrr:
UPDATE #2

After flashing Stock Ita, I received THREE SMS from Vodafone about attempting to do something...

joyn app in permission explorer disappeared, but ChatON, SVoice, Keyboard, Favourite Contacts and Samsung Apps appeared.

this RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe

but when i run it it never end so i unplug the usb cable after one hour and it's like nothing happen my HBoot is 1.31 my CID HTC_203

Can someone help on how to flash the right ruu

(ps: i didn't forgot to relock the bootloader)
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
What's your Cid ?

Fastboot oem readcid

Maybe its a branded ruu you need ?

And did u run the ruu with admin rights from pc
[HTC One X] LcD59c:
My CID is HTC_203 and yes i run it as admin

don't know what to do :s
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Try to do it again, battery has enough power ?

Usb 2.0 port, not a Usb 3.0 port in use. Have seen problems using a 3.0 USB port !

Using the charger cable (original one)
[HTC One X] LcD59c:
Solved by flashing the last RUU

RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed.exe

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boldeagle:
Hi

Sometimes when I turn on the screen I notice the SD Card symbol is "ON" in the notification bar. Is it because my Note II keeps remounting the SD Card and thus rescanning the SD Card?

Why does it keep doing this?

I have my songs all stored on the SD Card and because it keeps remounting it, the songs do not stay in the playlist!

How do I keep the SD Card permanently mounted?

My Note II is running stock ROM.

Guess what? My 32GB Class 4 SanDisk went all flaky a couple of days ago. I got an error message saying that the SD cannot be read and to reformat it.

Absolutely not! All my new pictures and songs are all being stored on the SD card!

I rebooted my phone and it could read the ca4d again but it's no longer stable.

Sigh

My 32GB class 4 Sandisk microSD card that I thought was working well finally died. I tried reformatting it and it worked for a little while more but finally died and could not even be reformated.

What can we do about the Note II propensity to kill microSD cards?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
Damn, I really hope it's not the Note 2 that's killing cards. I just sent back my 64gb SanDisk card which died after about 4 months of use. So while I'm waiting for a replacement, I have a 32gb cards in the way.

In over ten years of using removable flash storage I've never had a card die in me and I've had at least 15 different CF, SD and micro sd cards. Why does this "high end" sandisk card have so many issues on modern devices?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kEvinErd:
My 8gb class 4 Kingston card also died while being used on my Note 2. Was previously using the same card on s2 and s3 too. I'm hoping with all these reported cases of sd cards dying, correlation doesn't equal causation! I'll nevertheless get a Samsung sd card for replacement. Hoping samsung cards should theoretically work better on samsung phones. Haha

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E3SEL:
Sorry if this has been posted before, but I don't think it has because I check the forums daily.

Sometimes, when I get in a call with someone, my earpiece will make a very loud buzzing noise, and it's not the regular small background buzz. It's not even a buzz, It's more like a blasting sound, and you cannot hear voices when the sound is on, and I have to end the call, and call back to fix it. Any idea what this could be? It also happened on stock rom, and custom rom with a custom kernel.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onishchuk4:
I'm starting to lose hope on this phone. I've gotten 2 replacements so far, and both have had a high pitched sound coming from the earpiece, wether on voice calls or not. Is this crap just found on some N4's or pretty much all of them? I've never had such a poorly put together device. I don't mind the yellowish screen, the rattle, the hot back, or any other minor defect. Just feels like I'll never get a good one. *sigh*
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otariq:
It's my third phone and it still has the buzzing everything else besides the bottom plastic creaking when I press it but everything else is fine so I'm gonna keep it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] stylemate:
So..... I've been fussing with the kernel these days.

I managed to add cwm recovery just by editing initramfs.

also, I could enable init.d support

I had a repacker script that only involves original zImage and edited initramfs folder and it made my work easier.

Now, I became greedy and I wanted to add cpu governor.

If I want to do so, I 've gotta actually compile the kernel from source.

I first used this command

export ARCH=arm

export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/xxxxxxxx/arm-2009q3/bin/arm-none-eabi

make venturi_kor_defconfig #I have Korean device

make menuconfig # at the menu, i located my initramfs folder

make -j2

I've got numerous errors no matter what toolchain I used.

arm-eabi-4.4.0

arm-eabi-4.4.3

arm-eabi-4.7

arm-2009q3

arm-eabi-linaro 4.6.2

arm-eabi-linaro 4.7

all the zImages created had similar sizes as the original ones but none of them passed samsung logo (they do boot into recovery though)

4.4.3 and 4.7 didn't even make zImage so I guess that's guaranteed failure.

But Samsung's YP-GB70 Opensource zip says that I should use arm-2009q3 and when I do, it still gives me error

I use 12.04 LTS 64bit

any suggestion please? I'm dire
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
Hmmm. First make sure you downloaded source for the gingerbread kernel (2.6.35) and not froyo (2.6.32) - it should also be a zip.

Second 4.4.3 is what I use, so that's quite strange. I'll need complete output to see what the problem is.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] stylemate:
Hmm sorrry for not clarifying that. I'm certain that I got Gingerbread source and it said to use G++ toolchain for EABI. Which is arm-2009q3-68

I made a mistake saying that It gave me an error. they were warnings. zImages were succesfully made along with other modules but it just doesn't boot.

btw, do you know how to fix bootloop when recovery can't locate cache partition and can't even factory reset?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Do you have the initramfs packed into the rom because Samsung kernels have the initramfs inside them.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] stylemate:
....... hmmmmmm I'm having quite hard time comprehending that....... sorry

i first extracted initramfs from zImage, (you know by using magic number like 30 37 30 37)

Then I added cwm recovery from Entropy's source.

I repacked it to modified_ramdisk.cpio

Then I tried to compile kernel by samsung's open source zip (inside there were one tar.gz for platform and another for kernel)

I used those commands at the first post, using the right toolchain that the opensource specified.

I even located my initramfs directory in the GUI section of config.

What did I do wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Oh sorry I meant kernel instead of ROM. Hmm why don't you take an initramfs from another source or copy-paste the scripts from your device and add the cwm binaries from entropy's?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
As far as I know, you didn't do anything wrong. The issue must be somewhere in the init scripts (init.<whatever>, recovery.rc, ueventd.<whatever>). Did you copy those from Entropy's ramdisk too? Which ones?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] stylemate:
I think I'm the only one with korean SGP5 initramfs source.....

anyway, I had a repacking script which doesn't bother with compiling the actual kernel.

I could make a kernel with just CWM recovery and it worked.

But I figured out that I had to compile the actual kernel to add governor or OC stuff... so......
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] stylemate:
Ho Thanks for your suggestion. I didn't copy the actual files of those scripts, I looked at his commit and saw those lines changed when he was adding CWM. So I just added or replaced few lines at recovery.rc

Then I copied bunch of files in sbin, which seemed necessary for the recovery.

I copied the clockworkmod image file

Then finally i copied the recovery.fstab

to misc/

I edited recovery.fstab several times to get mount and storage work.

So I think initramfs itself has no problem....... It got me a working kernel with CWM recovery.

But it's the problem when I actually try to compile kernel from the scratch.....
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
When you were just modifying the initramfs, did it boot normally then?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] stylemate:
yes. very smoothly

I used linaro tool chain 4.6.2 and also arm-eabi-4.7 both worked fine when i just modified the initramfs with a simple script.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
Can you boot into CWM and (using adb shell) give me the output of

cat /proc/cpuinfo
ls -la /

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] stylemate:
Sorry I couldn't do anything because my device was hard bricked and I fixed it today 0.0

Hope you are still around here.

I can't run adb shell with my newly compiled kernel

computer does not detect my device and i tried plugging it in and out several times, killing adb server each time.

interesting thing is that i can't mount USB storage, system, efs or anything else in CWM recovery.

Only cache partition is mounted which is strange. I used same initramfs source for both working kernel and newly compiled kernel,

but i don't know what happened during the compiling process.

I tried compiling with the original intiramfs folder (not modified one) and <3e> recovery also gave me numerous errors like can't mount where, where, where, where.

so there mustn't be a problem in both init.rc-like scripts and ultimately initramfs. It's probably the compiling process and how I set up the compilation.

Do i have to check all lines in venturi_kor_defconfig......?

oh btw, sdcard can be mounted with original ramdisk compiled kernel also, just checked it now.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
I mean from CWM on your repacked-but-not-compiled kernel -- the one you said worked.

Also, which exactly zip did you download from Samsung's site? You don't need to go through the defconfig as long as you got the right one.

Third, please only compile with 4.4.3 or the one Samsung recommends. Anything newer will probably not work.

Fourth, as to partitions, they are all formatted to RFS, right? And can you run in CWM (where everything mounts and is mounted):

mount
fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0
