[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
hmmmmm....all drivers updated and installed?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilesumalt:
Yes. Drivers are good. I also installed kies which doesn't recognise the phone either.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
maybe the phone wouldn't recognize the pc ;)

sure you don't wanna re-fash?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilesumalt:
I reinstalled cm9 now and still same problem... really would appreciate any help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
and no charging issues whatsoever?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilesumalt:
The phone charges as usual from pc usb or charger
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Flashing time it is.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilesumalt:
Sorry for doublepost. When rooting phone i lost warranty right ? So what if i unrooted it and installed a stock rom ? I did that with my previous phone the s8500 wave that ran bada and it was accepted in the shop for repairing.

Would that be an option? And is there a tutorial on how to restore the gs2 to stock?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
you got that right. Make it "out of the box" like and they won't notice it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilesumalt:
Now the question is how i do that... i'll google the crap out of this but if someone can give directions all help is welcome.

Thak you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
I presume you are running Siyah Kernel!? You can force MTP and or mass storage
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilesumalt:
With the console command?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilesumalt:
Problem solved by installing the disaster rom. Whatever the reason was to this issue...

Hi,

I'm going to tell you how to fix a failed recovery flash on the Samsung Gravity smart/Galaxy Q (Interrupted, etc)

Sorry for posting here. There is no place for this phone here.

First of all, this only works and is intended if your SGH-T589/SGH-T589R displays a phone, a computer, and a yellow triangle when it boots.

*EDIT* a link to the picture is here

If that shows, then you can re-flash your recovery.

Requirements:

1: A micro USB cable

2: Odin 4.40 USA with the OPS file

3:The stock recovery.img from samfirmware.com (you need to register first before downloading)

4:ADB (Android Debug Bridge which can be found in the android SDK)

5:Samsung Kies (Also when your phone is in the brick screen, windows will install drivers)

Okay, here are the steps:

1:Put the recovery.img file into the Platform-tools folder (where ADB is)

2:In ADB, enter these commands:

Command 1 : tar -H ustar -c recovery.img > STOCK-Recovery.tar

Command 2 : md5sum -t STOCK-Recovery.tar >> STOCK-Recovery.tar

Command 3 : mv STOCK-Recovery.tar STOCK-Recovery.tar.md5

3:Then you will find a file called STOCK-Recovery.tar.md5 in the same folder as recovery.img

4:Connect your phone to your computer via the micro USB

5: Open Odin 4.40 USA and select the OPS file (I recommend putting it in the same folder as Odin is)

6:Select the check "One package"

7:Select the "One package" button.

8:Select where you put your STOCK-Recovery.tar.md5 file and select the file

9:Also, change the number "200" (Beside "reset time") to "50"

10:Ignore the error message that comes up.

11:Select the "Checksum fail" button

12:Wait 'till it reboots (Keep "Auto Reboot" checked before you flash)

13: Once the log says "Killed timer", you can unplug your phone and close odin

This was based on what just happened. (You won't loose any of your data except for a few SD card fails. Just reboot your phone)
[General Topics] XiaolinMa:
recovery.img download.. Please help me. Thank you.

Hi, I have tried your steps. But my Odin shows:

<1> setup connection...

<1> odin mode.. check plcatform verification.

<1> VerifyPlatform:V0, P0,R0

<1> START!!!

<1> set download environment.

<1> big partition size!!

<1> recovery.img download..

Then, it stopped. Could you show me the solution for such error? Tks.

My phone: SGH-T589R (Galaxy-Q), Rogers Wireless

The files I used:

(1) Odin Multi Downloader v4.40.exe. I cann't download Odin 4.40 USA, so I use this version which is claimed to support my phone.

(2) SGH-T589R Gt2_tmo_v1.0.ops

(3) recovery.img is abstracted from T589RUXKG2_HOME_BINARY.tar. After getting recovery.img, I use Cygwin to obtain STOCK-Recovery.tar.md5 by running your Commands 1 to 3, because my odb can't recognize my phone. I open "cmd" and run the command "adb devices", then, list nothing.

Current status:

(1) power on, and shows "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." But, Kies cann't connect my phone, and recovery mode doesn't work.

(2) Home+Power+Volume Up, a red color background screen shows, and button Volume Up, a yellow text "Downloading..." is in the center.
[General Topics] drew1ind:
Hi,

I made this a while ago, when I was into developing.

I still am, but I think I entered the wrong things to type in.

I think it is actually

Tar -H ustar -c recovery.IMG > STOCK-recovery.tar

Md5sum -t STOCK-recovery.tar >> STOCK-recovery.tar

Mv STOCK-recovery.tar STOCK-recovery.tar.md5

Ok, so i have my nexus 7 rooted and everything. I'm trying to flash a new ROM, but everything i download i cant find in Cwm to flash. Any reasons why this is happening? Normally they show up in my downloads.

I don't have that exact option. I have android/data/ but nothing there either.
[Nexus 7 General] simms22:
/android/data/ is too far down the file system, thats in your storage. go up a level. its the main fs of the device. /data/media/ is on the same level as /system/.

I dont have that option for some reason.
[Nexus 7 General] simms22:
i dont use cwm, i use twrp. you can chose and flash out of any filesystem. i dont see cwm not being able to do that, its part of any basic recovery. there has to be a way for you to navigate the filesystem, go up and down levels.
[Nexus 7 General] killall:
When you choose flash zip from SD card you should see the list of folders on the SD. The top folder should be '0' choose that and you will see your folders again. Choose downloads. It has to do with multiuser on JB.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
I never had a random reboot on ICS now on JB I'm having it at least once a week...not a lot, I know but still something is not right. The last time this happened I tried looking further into it and the only thing I see that may be causing the issue is signal loss. I am 100% stock and have maybe 25 downloaded apps, if that. Is there an app for STOCK that will backup some of my data? I really don't think a factory reset will help but I'll give it a shot. Any other ideas? I freaking love this phone and this is my only complaint....would love to fix the problem. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Here's a shot of the signal before the reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Is it worth trying a factory reset? I feel the chances of it doing any good are very slim. Switch to a different modem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] technich:
I'm having the same issue, and a reset did not help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Thanks for the reply. As long as it does not get worse it's not a huge deal. Maybe the next update will fix it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Not sure what the right word is (hotboot?) but today my phone rebooted (not fully) while I was using it. No fc's or freeze ups, just the reboot. I'm currently on the no wipe leak which ended up being the official ota.... Since the no wipe was modified would it make any sense to install the full wipe version to see if the problem is resolved?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Flashed full wipe via Odin. In case anyone else has this problem I will post back with results in a week or so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ratledge:
I'm having the same issue. It seems that something is causing JellyBean-enabled SGS3's to just jump into "interrupt heaven". It's always a quick boot, never resets the "Up time" counter, and only takes a few seconds to get back to normal, but it's a real pain in the arse!

Any ideas what the culprit is, guys? I'm running a newly replaced (ordered it on January 2nd and the first thing it does was download and upgrade to JellyBean "VRBLK3" before I could even start get it loaded, basically as soon as I activated the phone, it started to download the OTA before I could even get to anything else). I know in my case I have a couple of mods installed - maybe one or more of these is common amongst those of us having issues? I have the "4x5 scrolling" mod and the "BLK3 Logo fix" mod that removes the stupid VZW drum-beating and pulsating display on boot-up. Other than that, my phone is rooted (using method involving loading the older ICS bootchain so you can install the latest CWM recovery), has CWM Touch 6.0.2.3 and that's about it, other than your usual rooted toolkit programs. Anything common to the rest of you?

Oh, by the way - I've already tried reformatting the cache, blowing away the dalvik cache and even a complete factory reset, which seems to make it less jumpy, but it always comes back within a day or two if not just a few hours.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] darrinbc:
I had the same problem with mine rebooting when I had very bad signal. Last Friday I did a factory reset then Odin to 4.0.4 and let the phone update to 4.1.1 and the problem seems to have gone away. I am not willing to call it cured yet, but it hasn't rebooted since. This went from where I was rebooting constantly all day long at work and when on the road in bad signal areas.

So far so good.

By the way, I looked EVERYWHERE and couldn't find anyone complaining of this earlier so I figured it had to be a bad download of the update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ratledge:
It's something in Jelly Bean update itself. I tried booting my phone in "Safe Mode" - which only loads factory programs, and it still happens. I sure wish I could put a finger on anything in the way of a pattern, but - so far there's nothing I can single out that seems to make any difference. I'll do the system/factory reset and re-install everything one more time just to see if it helps.

Weird...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ratledge:
Factory reset (and everything else) - it still reboots

Well, something in a factory reset helps, but it doesn't last. First, just to be thorough, I used "ROM Manager" to 'fix permissions', then I did a complete flush of the system, removed the micro-SDXC card, did a format of the cache partition, flushed the Dalvik cache, then did a factory reset and reinstalled everything. I seemed to help for a while, but eventually it started to reboot randomly - sometimes when it was just sitting idle not even being used at all.

That indicates to me there's something funky in the JB (VRBLK3) firmware, especially since I was seeing reboots even while I was booted in safe mode, where nothing loads except factory-installed programs.

Fortunately, it never reboots while it's in recovery or download mode... :silly:

Ah, I forgot to note: this is the second phone that acts exactly the same way with the VRBLK3 (Jelly Bean) ROM update. Symptoms of the problem are identical, down to the spontaneous combustion that started this thread. Mine's not "in pocket" as per the OP, but - I don't think that has anything to do with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Thanks for thoroughly trying different things to try and figure out the issue. Your problem seems worse than mine... I was getting reboots every few days. All day today was fine after installing full wipe but that's not a thorough test for what I was experiencing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
You could also try getting a new sim from Verizon to see if that helps with connectivity to towers. You've already Odin flashed stock images and wiped pretty much everything significant at that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ratledge:
New SIM?

Well, unfortunately I've done that - twice in the past ten days, the latest one came Tuesday afternoon. No change, still just reboots while I'm not even using the phone, and it's not the phone, it's the software. I can't say for absolute certain that it is in the VRBLK3 / JB code, but I can say for sure it _is_ something I am running, but the fact that it does reboot in safe mode indicates it's not anything downloaded or added to the base system as shipped. :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jaymattt:
Irrelevant question -- can't help my curiosity. How is it that you're on your 6th GS3? You get a new one every month? :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ratledge:
6 Pebble Blue 32MB phones in about 8 months

Heheh... Well, I got one on "day 1" by pre-ordering it from Verizon, after two months the power button fell off. They sent me a "CLN" one, it lasted ten days and started randomly rebooting (even if reloaded with 'virgin' unrooted OS), the third (another "CLN") was delivered with no power button and the volume rocker fell off while I was taking it out of the box. At that point, I got kind of pizzed and did the 'good customer for 10 years' and elevated it through three levels until I finally got them to ship me a brand new one. That one lasted two months until my wife left it on top of my car and I backed over it in my driveway. I used my Asurion (insurance) to get #5, which arrived rebooting from the moment I started it up. Within a few days after monkeying around with their tech support (they ain't the brightest bulbs - instructions include "remove the battery and dial yourself and hit the 'Send' key three times" - not kidding) I managed to get #6 shipped out, and it's first act of life was to suck down the VRBL3 (Jellybean) software update and I've mucked around with it for two weeks, tried loading it with various combinations of "No Wipe" and "Factory Reset" versions of VRBLK3, removed a bunch of programs I've had installed but never really used and it still just vibrates about once an hour (and it's totally random, sometimes lasts 6 hours, sometimes 6 minutes before rebooting), jumps to the "warm/quick start" and recycles without resetting the "time up" counter. I'm thinking it's something I fed it (i.e. a nasty program or interaction between programs) - but I've come up empty-handed so far as running it to ground.

Does anyone have any knowledge of known interactions or "bad programs" that just don't play well together under JB? :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Sadly my friend, you need CLN #7. Nothing here is going to resolve that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ratledge:
Well, normally - I would agree. But this makes three phones that act exactly the same in a row. The first of which was my 2nd "New" GS3, updated OTA to Jellybean - which immediately started the rolling reboots. The problem with the "CLN" phones are that they were all defective in one way or another, or they wouldn't be recertified. I don't really think VZW does a good job recertifying these phones, there are just too many of them coming out every single day, and - lord knows Asurion probably is behind that curve. :silly:

All three phones have been identical in their behavior - "down to the letter" since VRBLK3 was released. :fingers-crossed:

Question: now that I've used my insurance, do I _have_ to go back to Asurion for replacement, or since I'm still in my first year, will VerizonWireless entertain sending me another? It seems like reading the information that comes with the Asurion phones, they are the ones that are now guaranteeing my phone for a full year from the time it was sent (that would be this past Monday). :eek:

The phone has an Asurion sticker inside it, not a VZW one...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ratledge:
And the winner is: battery replacement. Every single VZW marked battery causes it to reboot, but a plain old Samsung battery (made in Korea - I've noticed almost all the VZW branded SKUs are made in China) works 100% and gives me an average of 12 hours moderate usage. The batteries I had from previous phones, VZW and Asurion all have the Verizon markings on them, and every single one of them causes it to reboot. This new one I got today straight from Samsung does not.

Curious, huh? I have one out of five batteries with VZW markings, and it does the same as the other four "made in China" ones. You've gotta wonder...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Glad you found a fix. Is it possible the new battery is slightly larger? Wondering if the old batteries were maybe a bit loose.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ratledge:
Not really, buddy. One of my complaints from day 1 was that the batteries were so exact in their fit that it required a crowbar to get them out. I've never seen a loose one, and I've got 6, now. Are you sure there's not something loose inside your SGS3? I've talked to quite a few people, and all the ladies I've talked to complain about the fact that you lose a fingernail just about every time you try to remove one...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
No problem with my battery was just curious if that could be causing your problem. I have not had a reboot in 200 hours since installing full wipe k3. Have been reluctant to post.... Don't want to jinx myself :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Eleventy5:
I can't believe it is the battery...

So posting before reading is a bad idea... Still rebooting over here, although it took a couple days to start doing it again. Is the battery swap still a valid solution?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Eleventy5:
Samsung battery didn't fix it either

4.0.4 no reboots, 4.1.1 reboots consistently when cellular signal is low or when moving from WiFi to cellular signal. What is going on here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nlopez1907:
I bought a Factory refurbished phone and its the SCH-I535. After Boot the phone asks for a Verizon sim card I was planning on unlocking and using it on tmobile.My real question is, Is there a Odin flashable Rom that roots and Disables the sim check in the begging? I tried to flash a multiple roms from sd card and they all failed verification. Any help During my adventure will be hugely appreciated!!!!!! :good:

Fixed it by finding another launcher and installing it.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbh369:
I use Nova launcher, and I can just access that through the app drawer (push vol+ and tap apps on B&N apps page). Then I can make it the home launcher again. I think Zeem is in the app drawing too, no?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Character Zero:
Another way to go is to search for the Google Play app in the browser. Then click the Google Play link and have it open Google Play by default. Then you can either find another launcher (like ADW) or go into your apps there and open a launcher.

Use Android Device ID from the play store to view your IMEI.

Thats what i allways use to see the IMEI! But I found the problem. my girlfriend has played around with the rom and install one for the a500 wich hasnt got an IMEI. Now i search a good ROM for the A501. So Problem solved.

Hey guys I have a little question. From the leaks and rumours, I believe the Sony Yuga will be the best out of the 1080p devices... But we all want a Phone thats easy to root and which has a big community of developers. I never had a Sony device so I want to ask you: How was your experience rooting Sony devices like the Xperia T? Is it easy and does Sony support it?

Thanks

Alain
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Sony in general is one of the most developer friendly OEM's out there. There devices never usually ship with an easily lockable bootloader (Except some Verizon devices like the Xperia Play in the past but even that has now been unlocked) that can be unlocked following these instructions as well as other methods. As far as rooting wise they are generally simple and straightforward to root thanks to some great work by people like Bin4ry. Also because of there openness pretty much all of the recent Sony devices have gotten CM10, AOKP, Paranoid Android, etc. in addition to some cool mods and excellent themes. Overall, Sony is very developer friendly and promotes unlocking, rooting and developing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
There are a few rooting methods for the 2012 Xperia range, just head to the devices forum and check them out. There are a few original development Developers for us Xperia owners so rooting has never been much of an issue apart from having to wait for the Devs/members to figure out rooting new FW.

[Android Software Development] hadi_rena:
Guys I asked for help:

At first version of jetAudio Plus they included BBE / ViVa effects for their apps but for some reason they decided to HIDE it from user. Can someone whom legally have the apps able to modded to enable these effects ? If someone able to do that please just tell me how to do that, don't share your apk. I have the license for this app and would do the patch by myself.

@mod : If I break the rules fell free to delete this post
[Android Software Development] lambstone:
In my opinion. If you really really bought the app legally, I think it would be alright for you to find the "modded jetaudio plus apk" off other websites. You already supported the dev so I don't see why not.

I really don't see why this would be considered as piracy given that you have made a purchase.
[Android Software Development] hadi_rena:
Yeah I can find one but they seems have slower update rate rather than official one. If I can modded by myself it would be awesome, just IMO

Thanks anyway
[Android Software Development] lambstone:
Yeah, I suppose so. Perhaps you could contact those "modders"
[Android Software Development] hadi_rena:
No answer either
[Android Software Development] AdMire:
I just purchased the Plus version as well and I can't find the BBE/ViVA option either.
