Alright, one problem though, doing a factory reset deletes everything on the sdcard then when i try to use fastboot to flash cyanogenmod in a zip format it says stuff like android-product-info.txt is missing and whatnot, what do you do?

edit, dont read the part about wiping storage, i had a idiot moment there, ill give it a shot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] FarmDad:
This is the first phone i have bothered to even root, and as luck would have it i rooted a couple of days before the multiwindow update came out . I installed trwp at that time , and was considering what rom to attempt when the update came out . Scrosler then posted the

[ROM][12/28] - AT&T Stock Rooted De-Odex - I317UCALK7 - 12/27 OTA stock rom and i decided this would be a good " dip my toe " rom to flash.

Now to the question Just what is the procedure from here ? I have downloaded the above rom , and nabbed the " radio " also . If i understand right now i need to copy the rom zip to the root directory of my phone , boot into trwp and choose install . Is this correct or am i about to have a major mess-up here ?

Do i need the " radio " ? and how do i install some of the mods also linked there since some of them are .apk ( which i know how to sideload ) and some are back to the .zip and would seem to need flashed .

Thanks in advance to any who answer for the time an patience with an " old guy " who is new to all of this and a bit overwhelmed digging for what is basic info .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jyazzie110:
1. Make a nandroid backup in recovery.

2. Factory data reset, wipe system, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache.

3. Install rom zip file.

4. Reboot

5. Profit.

Ok I have another question. I transferred all my pics from my last phone to the DNA and they don't show up in the gallery app. They show up in quickpic though. Any wait to get them to show up there?
[HTC Droid DNA] M0rtiferrimus:
If you're rooted, try using file explorer to move the pictures from wherever they are to the gallery directory. Otherwise, send them to yourself and download them to the phone again.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Try clearing cache on the gallery, or restart the phone and open it.

Make sure there isn't a .nomedia file in the directory of the pictures.

If all else fails you can move them to the default picture location, and you don't have to be rooted as the guy above me seems to think.

But the default gallery app seems to be really good for me about detecting pics.
[HTC Droid DNA] Argumentation:
Download an app called rescan media from the play store, it'll fix your problem. :good:
[HTC Droid DNA] Ajj915:
Thanks everyone. Ill try a few of those
[HTC Droid DNA] M0rtiferrimus:
I didn't say he had to be rooted, I just said that it would make the process easier. He can just as easily send himself the pictures from the other app and download them to his gallery. OP, you should try whatever suggestion you think works best.

OK so my wife's phone is having an issue where the screen does not turn off like it should. I doesn't do it all the time but more times than not. Running JB stock with not root. Anyone else having this issue, thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aussie88:
Most probably a rogue app not letting the phone sleep. Check what you have running in the background. Mined does that every so often if I dont close an app properly.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Matrix_19:
I already saw this a few times on my phone, but I don't know if it happening often, since, most of time, I turn it off myself

Hello,

New to XDA, and a noob.

I have a newly acquired GT-I9305T from Telstra Australia :) Very happy with the device, even the stock ROM, just want root to make some tweaks, uninstall some bloat, adblock etc.

I have read through the forums and think I have a good course of action for backup and rooting ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1967124 ), just want some clarification about returning to a stock state before proceeding.

Current device state

Android 4.1.1

Basband I9305TDVAL15

Kernel Version 3.0.31-178410

Build JRO03C.I9305TDVAL16

I am happy to purchase Triangle Away to remove the counter if I flash custom ROMS etc.

Will the following procedure return me to stock state for warranty reasons....?

1. Revert to a nandroid back-up of stock rom taken directly after CWM/rooting

2. Use Triangle Away to remove "!" and counter

3. Put phone into download mode and flash the files from this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1971265

Some extra q's

Does the order of flashing in step 3 matter ...?

Am I better using stock ROM from http://www.sammobile.com instead of nandroid backup...?

Alternatively if I use CWM and flash the files from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1947920 as step 3, will the counter still be 0 after using Triangle Away seeing you have to boot into recovery...?

Thank you in advance for any help and advice. I realise that this question is mainly answered throughout other threads, but I have read so much different stuff I would just like to clarify.

Thanks again. :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Android Newbe:
You would be better off Downloading the Stock Rom with Odin and keeping the Files in a safe place.

I keep mine Burned to a CD and on a 4Gb USB and keep it with the Original Box.

Flashing a Stock Rom will also Flash the Recovery and Kernel.

I know people that have tried to do a nandroid restore and full Bricking their device.

And Use Triangle Away just before flashing Stock to remove the "!" and make sure Flash Counter is Reset to Zero.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] scl_84:
Thank you so much... :)

Could you point me to a reliable guide for downloading the stock ROM, or give me a quick run-down.

I have Odin3 V3.04 in preparation for flashing CWM/root.

The Best place to Download Stock Roms is SamMobile. http://www.sammobile.com. Free to Join.

I can see they have the Telstra I9305TDVALI6, which is the same Build as your Stock.

All good man.

When you said " Downloading the Stock Rom with Odin" in your first reply... I thought that meant you could somehow download the current ROM of the device. Which was news to me lol, though I might have been missing something.

I have registered with sammobile and am currently downloading the firmware.

In the meantime I have backed-up IMEI/EFS, CWM'ed, rooted and nandroided... so should be all good :)

Thanks again for the advice, all the appropriate data and instruction is safely tucked away in case needed in the future.

Hi,

I hate itunes because we all know why.

But what is great about it - I can make backups of all my settings, apps, game progress etc.

In Andrid case you have to be genius to do all that (root the phone, install titanium etc.).

What s Google position regarding Android companion app fo PC?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Google Play is the alternative. Your mass storage is the alternative. Any computer music utility is the alternative. That's 3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
and google sync is an alternative. btw, what is andrid? :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrisinsocalif:
You can make a backup using adb backup or by installing a toolkit without root. Am I missing something here?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sharingspider:
Bcoz its easily mountable :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcubed45:
mmm google sync pretty much does everything itunes does. have you ever done a factory reset?

once you enter your gmail login it starts restoring everything. all your apps, contacts, etc.

plus instead of waiting for your entire music library to download onto your phone again, it's instantly accessible from google music. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mortenmhp:
The idea is that you shouldn't have to make backup of everything all the time and mannage that yourself, when your phone and google's servers can do it for you(and yes it can do it for you). It's just a shame that so few developers have implemented the data backup service introduced with froyo. Currently the only apps on my device storing a data backup, is the settings app, the wallpaper app and another google application...(it does work fine with those apps, my wifi passwords and wallpaper and so on is always backed up and set automatically) Many games and other third party apps could do great with sending a backup of my progress and settings.

drag and drop ftw!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b1337:
exactly who wants to fck with slow azz itunes nazi crap
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] altimax98:
I am with the OP on this one.

I just tried the ADB method on my wifes RAZR and it didnt work. All app data restored but no applications restored. iTunes is a PITA, and the way that it is pretty much the ONLY way to use you iDevice is pretty stupid. But the principle behind being able to backup and restore everything including games easily is nice. Comparing ADB backup and iTunes backup is just stupid...

Its similar to the way that Windows Restore is a waste of space quite useless, and the TimeMachine on iMac's is very useful and slick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prostang:
I would love to have some quick method of transferring game data to all devices. I do not have my xoom rooted, but my Gnex is. PITA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kevdliu:
At least for music there is doubleTwist which is ok
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E15i:
ADB backup is the way, but unfortunately only good for Nexus devices, but my opinion is that a punishment to fools who buy not a Nexus device, so yes if you use ADB you much smarter the other and maybe bought the device for developer purpose. It's not easy for someone to enter a number of lines in ADB, yes iTunes maybe nazzi crap, but guys OP still have a point there, it an organizer, the app don't need stuff to like sync Gmail or Gcal, but it still would be useful to backup settings and game saves and so, at least just make us a program that could backup without using ADB and with some cute UI..:cyclops:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] at1530:
Play music?

You mean that?:laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
Its a pity the play music service isn't available in most countries, we just get a stupid play music app that does nothing besides play music that we dragged an dropped into our sdcard ourselves.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] io53:
Actually, you don't need to use iTunes at all anymore unless you want to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zwarx:
Sorry but how is Windows Restore useless?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] altimax98:
I didnt know that. I thought it was still required for activation... Its been a while lol

Have you ever used Time Machine? Its fantastic. Windows Restore has never assisted with an issues when I F'd up. It may be great for full system restores but it has never worked for me when I needed a certain portion or program or folder restored.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigcignus:
it's usb mountable... so you only have to drag and drop (multimedia...) or sync from google's servers...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
I wish it was true. I am not talking about multimedia. I have not only mp3 in my phone. But tons of other stuff as well.

And no pc app to manage that.

And google servers can sync just settings and wallpaper. 1% out of what I really want to sync/backup.

I have installed fully working Flash integrated with the AOSP browser on my N10 by following the instructions found in this thread for the N7:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1780746

HOWEVER: The standard AOSP browser doesn't allow you to permanently set the user agent string. Yes, you can play around with the debug settings but the change doesn't stick over reboots. So instead of using the apk provided in the original thread I extracted the Browser.apk from the latest Cyanogenmod 10.1 for the Nexus 10. This lightly customised version has a setting to permanently change the user agent in Settings>Advanced. You can download the Cyanogenmod nightly from:

http://get.cm/?device=manta

Just unzip the files and look in system/apps for Browser.apk

Follow the rest of the instructions from the original thread. You will need to have rooted your Nexus to do this.

To mods: I would have posted this in themes & apps but I haven't posted enough to create a thread. If you think it's worth it maybe you could move this thread? :)
[Nexus 10 General] AJ Bryant:
can you post the aosp browser apk for the N10? Is it the same as the one in the Play Store because that one doesn't work.
[Nexus 10 General] xap2010:
The best thing would be for you to download the latest Cyanogenmod nightly from the link above. You can then open the zip and get the apk from that. I don't really want to post the apk separately from Cyanogenmod. :)

[Transformer TF300T General] dsf3g:
These days, a screen resolution of 800 x 480 is considered pretty pathetic for a smartphone. The Samsung Glaxy S3 has a screen resolution of 1280x720, just a smidgen below our 1280x800. Given these facts, the whole "tablet optimized applications" worry is something of a red herring, IHMO. We are no longer dealing with apps that were written for 480x320 screens and stretched to fill a tablet. We're, by and large, talking about apps that are written to adjust to phones with screens as large as 5.5" (for the Galaxy Note) and resolutions that would have seemed generous on 17" monitors not too many years ago.
[Transformer TF300T General] Silas0220:
While this may be true, tablets have more physical space. Resolution is one thing, but tablet optimized apps take advantage of the size of a larger screen to get more done. Take just the gmail app. If you just stuck the phone app on the tablet, it would be horrible.

I've never had this happen before, I can't get my phone to connect to Google services. Some Google apps are still working and sync is working.

Theres almost 0% chance that the Vodafone store has 3 devices with teh exact same problem, when the 3rd SGSII i got(this one) is from a different package then the others....

So I went to Vodafone and first question they made was:

Have you changed your SIM card lately?

I todl them it had ~5years or something.

They said it may be the card.

I asked if this ever hapened.

They said never...

So i asked, if it never hapened why you say its because of SIM card?

---

And that was it. They told before anything I should change SIM and test if it still shuts down...

What you guys think? Anyways I'm gonna change SIM card to 4G one, since now Vodafone is obligating every1 to change, they gonna deactivate the old ones soon... Then i'm gonna see if phone goes down...

I just seems strange the phone goes down cause of SIM card with no signal or something... Anyone knows a answer to this?
