[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] master.peterm:
Hey guys I'm running MyRom 2.1 on my tmobile galaxy note 2, and whenever I wipe data in clockworkmod recovery it powers off and reboots.... everything else works, flashing ROMs, wiping cache and dalvik cache, but wiping data restarts the phone back into recovery. I ttried flashing TWRP but that recovery results in a boot loop, in which I had to flash CWM again from Odin..... I really do not know how to fix this, the ROM I'm running works great, but I really can't flash other roms without being able to wipe data......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gforceriders:
You are going to need to odin back to stock then wipe data in the samsung recovery not clockwork recovery then you can odin clockwork recovery and and you will be able to wipe again. Its a pain I know but its what works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] egren58:
dude you saved my life ive spent hours trying to fix this and finally found this post and was a quick fix thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gforceriders:
Hey NP dude glad it helped and glad you're up and running with this beast of a phone.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingqueen:
I've just had a bit of a panic then worked myself out of it. To help others in a similar situation, I thought I'd put what to do here, as searching doesn't help.

I'd encrypted my phone (and the external SDcard FWIW) via the Security settings. But it slowed it down a lot. I'd thoughtfully backed up a NANDROID to my PC before doing anything. So instead of unencrypting, I thought I'd go the quick way: go in through CWM Recovery (previously flashed on the phone) and sort things out from there.

Big mistake. CWM Recovery doesn't deal with encrypted phones or SDcards. So I took the SDcard out, reformatted it in a reader on my PC, stuck the NANDROID back on it. Then back into Recovery. Still whenever I tried to do anything, such as wipe / factory reset or restore the NANDROID, I got "unable to mount /data".

Oh dear. Next step: I downloaded a stock N7100 firmware and flashed it via ODIN. But I discovered this doesn't sort the problem either; it still leaves the /data partition encrypted. On booting up, it asks me for the encryption password; but won't boot further - presumably due to incompatibilities between teh custom ROM's Data partition and the stock rom.

Rebooted into Stock Recovery; multiple errors "unable to mount /data". BUT happily Wipe / Factory Reset from the Stock recovery did work.

I was then able to reroot, re-install recovery, and restore the NANDROID, thank God. Major panic for a while there.

tl;dr if you get in a state with an unbootable encrypted phone, and non-stock recovery gives "Unable to mount /data", you need STOCK recovery on it (flashed via ODIN, perhaps from full stock firmware or separately if you can find it) then factory reset with that. You'll then obviously need to reroot etc.

hope that's of use to somebody.

[HTC One S] zerozoneice:
Need some quick help to decide between One S and 8X for someone on a Vodafone contract.

- does the OneS record 1080p video at 24fps like the OneX, or is there true 30fps?

- what are the differences between the standard and the "C2" model of the OneS?

- how is the 4.1.1 update for the device? visible improvements in battery/performance?

thanks!
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Camera is the same as the One X and the C2 is a bit crap so dont get it lol and loving JB but the battery not as good but its not bad.
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
It records 1080p at 30fps.

The C2 model has an S3 CPU. The 'standard' has the S4 CPU. The S4 is much more desirable as it is faster, runs cooler, uses less power, and (if you care abou such things) has way more community support.

Someone else may answer this one.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Em how? fps is crap on mine.
[HTC One S] zerozoneice:
thx @ all, how can i recognize a C2 device from the original package?

from specs i see C2 (with S3 cpu) has 1.7Ghz while standard S4 (krait) has 1.5GHz

so if i see 1.5ghz on the box, it's the standard (better) one?

i had the OneX myself and loved it, swapped it with an iphone 4S out of pure economic reasons, but i remember it recorded 1080p at 24fps/~10mbps which was a bit crappy for bigscreen

on the device itself it was fine bitrate wise, but the FPS drove me nuts.

The 8X has 30fps, tested it in store today, it's very smooth.

I'm torn between those 2 devices now :)

btw i read the C2 didn't get the 4.1 JB update, is it true? will it ever get it?
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
Yes, look at the box. The model number for the S4 is Z520. S3 is Z560 i think.

And CPU Speed is as you said. You want the one with 1.5Ghz :)
[HTC One S] Darknites:
C2 will get the update but it takes them longer to get an update.
[HTC One S] zerozoneice:
thx @ all again

so it's a tie regarding 1080p FPS :)

can someone please post a short 1080p sample, or check its properties on a PC?

thx
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Sorry for noob question but how do I tell whether mine is C2 model or if I have S4 CPU?
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
.... how about reading the thread?
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
I don't have the box, lost in my move sorry also can you go back to my other post and see if you can answer my question about the driver please?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
I say it again its the same as OneX.

What speed is your cpu?
[HTC One S] zerozoneice:
hmm, check the 4th screenshot...it's 29.7FPS...and it seems stock rom with no camera mod

[HTC One S] Troute:
Nothing wrong with the S3 model, if there was an S5 model the same people ^ would be saying the S4 was crap. My S3 was an import and considerably cheaper than the price charged locally. I'm very happy with it, good battery life, responsive, bright screen with great colours and it makes phone calls too!

Of course there are differences if you stack the phones side by side and run benchmarks but in day to day use you would never notice them. To find out which you have go to About Phone and look at Hardware information, If your processor says 1.5GHz you have an S4, if 1.7GHz you have an S3.
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
Obviously, since the S4 would be crap compared to the S5. Just as the S3 is crap compared to the S4.

But the biggest issue with the S3 isnt its hardware - its the custom rom/kernel scene thats the biggest issue.

At the moment the S3 is more like "what you see is what you get", while the S4 is "what you see is just a fraction of what you can get". :)

Also, ICS doesnt list the CPU Speed in the hardware info field. Maybe JB does, I dont know, but ICS does NOT.

Just thought Id point that out :)
[HTC One S] Troute:
The grass is always greener syndrome, if the S3 was all you could get you'd be singing it's praises.

That's only an issue if it's an issue, I'm happy running stock (with tweaks) on almost every device I have.

A matter of perspective, when I buy a phone I look at the specs for what it has, not what I can turn it into. I've never flashed a rom yet that made spectacular differences to a device and to my mind flashing is only of use to upgrade a device that's older and not getting official updates.

Does on my 4.0.4 S3, must be a failing on S4 phones, I'd sell up quick before the universe realises you've got an inferior model :p
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Don't care what a screenshot says but my eyes and also just done a video and the pc is saying 21 lol but the camera is the same as the OneX even the camera mods from the OneX work.
[HTC One S] jvb76:
Performance is better, as in it scores better in benchmark tests, not something I really notice in every day usage though.

Battery life is better for me, if I don't use the powersave option. Also having setcpu (or something similar) installed helps.
[HTC One S] zerozoneice:
hmm....
[HTC One S] zerozoneice:
well, got the phone today, it's a S3 model with 1.7GHz

they didn't have the S4 anywhere in stock with Vodafone for a long time :)

it has 4.0.3 on it and finds no software updates...
[HTC One S] zerozoneice:
mate, it's 29 FPS even in low(er) light :)

i tested it last night on the 4.0.3 ROM that came with it....Ville C2 that is.

i installed the 4.0.4/Sense 4.1 RUU but didn't test with that, will do tonight.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Oh dear how do I put this, How about you do more videos and you will see that it changes and I had videos saying 29 and guess what to my eyes it don't look it and it also don't change the fact that the camera is the same has the OneX.

Edit, here a screenshot just in case you don't believe me on the frame rate.
[HTC One S] zerozoneice:
1. on my OneX i never, ever had 29FPS even in bright sunshine no matter if stock or custom ROMs (without camera mods of course)

2. how about you post accurate info if you're at it? :) now you're saying that you also had 29FPS whereas before you completely dismissed it.

the FPS can (should) go down in order to keep shutter open more in lowlight situations.

the SGS series phone (S2 and i think also S3) is one i think it doesn't do this, it always records 30FPS that's why lowlight is fluid but grainy

..and i never said i don't believe you ;)
[HTC One S] Darknites:
So every video you done is 29? has you see I don't get that and I have no idea why you didn't see more then 24 on the OneX maybe you didn't look at every video. The 2 phones have both the same camera specs and have the same features and has I said before the OneX mods work on the OneS. You saying S2 and S3 are fluid and thats what I'm talking about I don't find it that fluid even at 29 but of cause this just could be my eyes picking up on it and yours don't.
[HTC One S] zerozoneice:
oh man, cut it please

go do some reading and stop claiming the X and S camera settings are the same

hardware maybe....software def.not.

did u own both phones btw?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
I was talking about hardware and no I don't own a OneX but since you did please do tell me what's different and don't say frame rate.
[HTC One S] zerozoneice:
http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/HTC-One-X-vs-HTC-One-S_id3005/page/3

"When it comes to video, the One S camera films sharp images with oversaturated colors and good level of contrast and detail at 30fps. The 1080p video from the One X performs even better in terms of color accuracy, but video capture starts slower than with the One S, and the camera struggles to focus and skips frames too often, especially in the beginning, recording with the slightly less fluid 28fps outside."

"The resulting pictures and video are a mixed bag, though. One would think that since we have the HTC ImageChip camera module on both we have to get the same results, but it isn't so. The HTC One S takes slightly oversaturated photos with good contrast and amount of detail. The colors are colder in the case of the One X, and it has more accurate color representation with white balance a bit off in some shots."
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Well done that says same hardware (you know the bit I been going on about) but for some reason is different in software and that can change like say the quote in my last post which I guess means nothing to you since you didn't say anything about it. And when it comes to frame rate to me it sucks it never been fluid for me but JB has made it better and remember I'm using my eyes and not a pc, I never even looked at the fps in till you posted and something else to add I gone back and looked at some videos that I done when I got the phone back in may and no video goes over 23 so just thinking about that when did you have your OneX?
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Where do I look, I'm new to the One S sorry
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
If you are on JB, it says the speed in 'about phone'.

Otherwise you can check your box, the cpu speed is listed there.

If you dont have the box near you, you can download an app that shows the cpu speed (there are millions on the market)
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Install Quadrant and when loaded have a look under system info and you should see Max freq, S4 is 1.5 S3 1.7.
[HTC One S] zerozoneice:
- saw you last quote but i don't care since 4.0.4 is not JB :) My VilleC2 is stuck on ICS for now.

- got the OneX 1 day after launch, sold it 2 months ago.
[HTC One S] zujko:
I use cam (two days ago i installed) mode, and it seems a little better than stock cam....

Stock cam, on low light, fps is 20 or lower, in good light fps is 29.70..

With cam mode, good light (relatively well) fps is 39.75, bitrate 12.1 Mbit/s.. 720p.. Stock cam on this condition, bitrate would be less, about 7.5Mbits/s and fps would be around 20.. As I recall from before, when I had the stock cam..
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Hmm it seems I don't have any videos from when I was on 4.0.4 so can't have a look to see what I got but like I said when I got the phone my video didn't go over 24 even the slow mo videos are at 23:confused: and even using a mod I found the frame rate sucked even now I don't think much of it but guess that's a me thing since I had a look in the Zero camera mod and all I see people caring about is bitrate. Was your OneX on 4.0.4 then? and does it feel more fluid on the OneS? because you not said that its better.

---------- Post added at 01:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 AM ----------

Em 39fps don't seem possible, what camera mod are you using. Stock camera is locked to the max of 10Mbit/s but even with mod your bitrate seems low.
[HTC One S] zerozoneice:
S seems smoother than X for some reason

I was on 4.0.4 back on X, JB wasn't out yet

that's why i was puzzled (positively) when i saw the S shot a video with 29FPS out of the box
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Still a bit strange that its different, maybe HTC was test different stuff on each but maybe JB make them about the same. Its one of them times where you wish you had both in hand to test.
[HTC One S] zerozoneice:
still, i'm comparing apples to apples:

S 4.0.4 is smoother than X 4.0.4

image saturation is definitely more pronounced on the S, both in stills & video

white balance is the same on both...same problems :) many times i need to pan around to get the right colors, otherwise i get a purple tint.

video stabilization is i think better on the S...not sure yet since i can't compare side by side.

overall the 4S has the better camera by miles (20mbps, 30FPS, incredible stabilization), even if photo shooting in 4:3 and pictures don't fill a widescreen TV :)
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Ya i'm not a fan of the saturation just no need for that.

Yep its crap but not had it have purple tint but a blue one.

This is one thing I do like since I can get a bit shaky at times.

Not seen videos but seen pictures and they don't seem to bad but my mate don't like anybody torching it lol so not play with one myself. Oh just in case you didn't know you can have it take 4:3 pictures if you want and is the only way to get the full 8mp.

I still stand by that the camera are the same but the software has you said is different for what ever reason.
[HTC One S] zujko:
I use this cam mode.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1756204
[HTC One S] Darknites:
I already using that and still don't believe it so if you still got a video with that frame rate please do upload to dropbox or mediafile so I see if its really that high.
[HTC One S] zujko:
Of course, here you go..

I use, MX Player..

EDIT: I think it's a mistake... I put the video on the desktop, and looked at properties, is still 29fps total bitrate 21321, bitrate is too high for this, maybe because i'm under settings configured force 20Mbits, really do not know...

I do not know why mx player reads another value 39.75, i agree with you, it is hard to realize that shows 39.75fps HOS.. Strange..
[HTC One S] zerozoneice:
it's probably max 39.75FPS, afaik the mediaprofiles.xml file can be edited to force the encoder to use a higher upper limit. THe parameters for bitrates are in mediaprofiles and also in kernel, but not in camera apk.

and i just noticed something: doesn't the camera on the S have a video option to use stereo recording? do videos still come out in mono?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Oh cool no need to upload now. Ya what's up with you getting mono sound because mine is in stereo.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Also the apk as limits too.
[HTC One S] zujko:
Explain this, at your stereo, and mine is a mono...

What is the reason for this?:confused:

Maybe this cam mode, or...

You use the stock cam, without cam mode?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Stock was mono if you look at the screenshot I posted. Now I'm on Blackout rom but ZeroCamera v3 is the same but I do use v2.3 media_profiles.xml.

Edit, I mean the first screenshot I posted with it showing 3 videos.
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
No, One X/S camera is just same, their camera.apk and media_profiles.xml are interchangeable. You sew different result because phonearena.com was using the oldest rom(with oldest camera.apk) on HOX while HOS software was up to date in that review.

The camera performance is day and night now if you are going to compare with the very beginning of HTC rom. Yes, HTC fps not as fluid as Sony or Samsung, probably slower shutter used.
[HTC One S] zujko:
The question is, why not have the support for stereo sound? JB Stock...

Maybe try to make a factory reset, clear cache-dalvik, reset phone etc...

JB has support for stereo sound (I thought at the HOS)..
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
There is a setting:

Camera -> Menu -> Video Options -> Stereo Recording

(I'm running venom-1.2.0, not sure whether or not this is present in stock. It may seem weird to have this under video options, but I guess thats not video as opposed to audio, but video as opposed to still pictures.)
[HTC One S] Darknites:
I have no idea what the deal is with it all I know is I have stereo sound now.
[HTC One S] zujko:
Ok, I get it, i downloaded cam mode ver 2.3, and now is ok, now i have a stereo sound..

But i have low (720p) bitrate 7.1 Mbit/s... I suppose that's okay, for poorer lighting conditions? Better lightning, better bitrate...

What have you got bitrate, if you have poor lighting conditions, whether it is less than 10 Mbits? 1280x720

EDIT: Test: good lightning

720p: fps 29.666667

bitrate: 9.6Mbits

stereo

audio bitrate: 126.4 kbits

1080p: fps 29.66667

bitrate: 29.0 Mbits

stereo

audio bitrate: 126.7kbits

I use cam mode v2.3 file 30Mbps

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1756204

It seems that these 30 Mbits only valid only if the video recording at 1080p, not 720p...

720p stay at stock, and there, nothing changes... Default values ​​are approximately 9.6Mbits for 720p, of course in a better light, in low light values ​​are lower 4-5Mbits etc.
[HTC One S] zerozoneice:
29FPS it is :)

stock 4.0.4 / Sense 4.1 RUU, unrooted
[HTC One S] Darknites:
This was in low light. Oh zerozoneice I find this video funny it says 19 but seem better then that but the start did seem a bit slow so not sure how windows is reading that.
[HTC One S] zujko:
You have a JB Stock with cam mode stock?

If yes, this is ok results, for low light, especially high bitrate, 19 fps is expected for these conditions..

Hmm, I think, I'll have to install new stock ROM, or a custom ROM..
[HTC One S] Darknites:
The screenshot with mono was on Blackout v1 which is stock camera but the ones with stereo are Blackout v1.5 which is the same has ZeroCamera v3 but he did it himself and I used the media_profiles.xml from v2.3 but I did that for better pictures.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sectorseven:
Hello, first of all thank you guys for all the work you're doing on the Nook.

I just had a couple questions about CM10:

There seems to be a few problems with it booting from certain SD cards. Is this just a software problem that needs to be fixed or is it a physical limitation of certain SD cards?

Also, is CM10 on the ROM a possibility that just hasn't been looked into yet or is there another reason for it?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbh369:
It is a problem with certain cheaper SD cards and with Sandisk Class 10 cards. It is intermittent, and not well defined. But there are two threads with card recommendations. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2057611 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2064837

Because of the signed and locked bootloader, it is unlikely there will be a native ROM on the Nook for awhile. The brick potential goes way up then too.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrangerX:
There are various theories as to what the problem with some SD cards is; VeryGreen posted something about looking into what the B&N changes had been done on their reaeased stock source code change-sets; some people have been trying to do 4K alignment of the partitions, but while initial reports were promising, it may just be a placebo..

Success or failure seems to be very dependent on specific cards; The same model of "SanDisk Ultra 64GB microSDXC Class 10 Memory Card" I'm using without many problems on my HD+ seems to be causing people issues on those threads..
