Hey, I didn't stopped, even thought its been a long time I'm not updating this app ... I'm using it daily on lollipop on two different devices, without problems ...

What does it mean sometimes it doesn't work? Can you add some additional info about your issue?

More Functionality

Hey, First I would like to say that I really like your app.

I think it would be very useful for everyone if you added better Tasker integration. The second you allow Trigger or Tasker to interact with more than just punch in/out, Users would be able to add practically any functionality they are looking for. If you could add a option to trigger the export of data (just like you trigger a "punch in") I would be very grateful! I for one would like to email a weekly report of my hours *that week* to my boss however the second you allow for better integration with Trigger / Tasker, you take a lot of the work off your shoulders and users could share Profiles / recipes with one another. Also, I think google spreadsheets integration is very important for the functionality of this app. It seems to me that the easiest way to do this would be to open a google form that your app would do a http post to (and then the google forms inputs the data into a spreadsheet).

It goes without saying that I will donate as soon as any of my suggestions are implemented :)

If you do plan on implementing any of these suggestions I would be happy to know :)

Thanks!

Edit: I am on a GT-P7310

So I went from one of Safarikings stock roms to C-o-M's CM10.1 + icebolts latest 1.1.2.3 kernel.

I hit a boot loop.

I went into recovery, wiped literally everything, flashed CM10.1, Icebolt Kernel, and Gapps.... Now I am in a bootloop, just showing the boot animation to 10.1.

Any help to get my tablet working again? Going back to stock ICS and upgrading would be fine, or even getting CM10.1 to work from here would be awesome.

Thank you in advance.

Hi guys,

My apologizes if its been asked already. From my quick research it hasn't.

So, the GF just got an Xperia Ray (essentially the same phone) its on 2.3.3 and she would like to update it to 2.3.4 and NOT ICS.

She says that when she launches Sony Update Service the program only asks to update to ICS...

Any idea?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
Well recoveries have to be built specifically for a device. You can't just use a recovery for another (even similar) device. It has to be modified and compiled to suit each particular one. So if someone has built a working ClockworkMod recovery for yours, then you're good. Another popular recovery is TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP). This also can be compiled for any device. You'll need programming knowledge to compile it, or request a dev with your same device to do it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
me thinks you need to learn the difference between rooting and installing a rom. the 2 are completely unrelated, and 'unrooting' your phone is a completely unnecessary step in your troubleshooting process.

ShoStock 3 does not encrypt the phone on its own, you had to have done the encryption at some point, or have done something to make the phone think it is encrypted.

Go back to stock using ODIN.

then try again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dramatya44:
encryption was not done at any point. and if there were any it would had been found out when i unrooted my phone!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Evil_Burrito:
Just to verify, you did follow these instructions... I hope. I have not experienced any major problems, such as yours, with SHOstock3 since it was released. So try again, but slowly. Don't rush it.

"Full Wipe (in cwm recovery) REQUIRED unless coming from ([SHOstock3] v1.4 or greater) (If you have ANY issues Wipe and Format Internal SDCard after you back it up.)"

"Intructions:

You must be running a kernel with CWM.

~BackUP EFS

~FULL BACKUP

~Download*SHOstock3*ROM and place it on your internal SD card.

~Boot into Recovery~~~~Wipe data/factory reset<--ONLY USE THIS OPTION WHEN COMING FROM ANOTHER ROM OR WHEN A FULL WIPE IS REQUIRED

~Install SHOstock by navigating to the location on the internal SDcard in CWM.

~Reboot the phone"

If you have no luck again. Restore a back up or go back to SHOstock2. Worst case scenario, try to fix it with Kies.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megosu:
Hello all,

I have tried many things before asking for help, but nothing worked so far.

Here is the story:

I was on ICS 4.0.4, with default ROM coming from carrier.

I wanted to install CM9.1,

spent countless hours doing all backup and reading tutorial.

Tried finally yesterday and it was stuck doing "wiping data". Left it for 20min+ and nothing.

After restarting it, it is now stuck on the boot logo.

I couldn't enter anymore CWM or stock recovery (up+home+power), but could enter Download mode.

So I tried a couple of things I have read on the forum, like installing Siyah-s2-v5.0.1.tar through Odin 3.04 but I still cannot enter recovery mode.

I've read (too late) about the mmc brick bug (couldn't find anyone speaking about it in any tutorial until I reached this point... nothing on CM wiki or in other tuto... classic!).

I hope I'm not in this case though as I can still go to DL mode, and the phones having the brick bug are completely dead (blank screen or no DL mode), as per http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1756242

I managed to finally get CWM working only by using GT-I9100_ICS_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4.tar from Odin, then tried to install CM9.1 from SD card but after reboot it is stuck on the blue cyanogenmod animation boot screen and nothing happens.

Tried also to restore from CWM my nandroid backup, but during the restore it seems to hang then restart by itself, and then I'm back to Galaxy S boot logo (the animated one with the big S).

And after this I have lost again access to recovery mode.

I can't go back to stock and I can't install CM... I was not expecting such issues, it all seemed pretty basic on paper.

I'm really stressed and don't know what to do :(

The bad thing is I had no Yellow triangle at the beginning since I'm stuck in this boot loop or no boot to be precise.

Now that I have tried different things to fix it, it is still not working and I have my flash counter = 10.

I cannot even go back to the shop, is there a way to reset it knowing I cannot even reach the OS, I have only DL mode or CWM...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Use a stock rom for your region/carrier (or any stock rom from any region really), it doesn't really matter as I presume you'll be restoring a backup and/or going back to a custom rom anyway won't you ?

Samfirmware & AndroidFirmwares.net have lots of stock roms.

No, you don't need root to flash an Odin version of Siyah. So yes, you can flash that after you've got stock up & running to root your phone rather than re-rooting your phone by flashing a CFRoot kernel or using another root method. Just make sure the version of Siyah you're going to flash matches up with the stock rom you've got on (I.E if you flash a GB stock rom use GB Siyah, ICS stock = use ICS Siyah, etc, etc).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megosu:
thank you again, I'm downloading the rom from sammobile matching my carrier,

Would you be so kind to send me a PM with your skype username or anything to "chat" with you ? I'm really worried and I spent all night already trying to fix it with no progress at all :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Don't worry about the flash counter. That's the least of your problems while your phone is borked ;) Worry about it when it's fixed. There's nothing you can do about the triangle while your phone is cactus.

When you've got it up & running again, use Triangle Away.

But first things first.

You're welcome.

Um, no. Absolutely not. Nothing personal, but if I did that for every person who's asked me for 'hands on' help since I've been here, I'd have spent my time doing nothing else. I don't do 'personal' with people from XDA (which is why I have PM's blocked except for mods).

Besides, you're going to learn much more fixing this yourself. I've given you a stack of information thus far, ball is in your court. Every answer to every question you could possibly ask is on this site. It just sometimes takes a bit of work/reading on your part to find it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megosu:
ok I understand.. it is just I have literally spent more than 8 hours on it and had not make any progress at all (even worse I cannot return it to the shop because of the yellow triangle).

I appreciate your help, it gives me a bit of hope but I'm in a very bad situation and I feel I have read and do so much already with no success at all.

I will try your option of restoring the one from Sammobile, I have tried other before without any luck, maybe this one will do... (5min left to DL it).

thanks again for your support
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
I know where you're coming from. The first flash I tried when I got my phone in 2011 borked because I was careless, and it took me a bit over a day to get the right info/files/etc to get it fixed. I know it's frustrating/tiring/annoying & you're wondering at the start whether you can even fix it. But as long as you've got download mode 99 times out of 100 you can save it.

And as I said, it's good experience; once you've fixed it, you'll be able to handle anything that comes up in future ;)

Let us know how you go. I'm going to bed shortly, but I'm sure someone else will step up & help if you have any further problems.

You're welcome :) Happy to point you in the right direction.

Easy now....your device is still good.

Those animations should take like 1-2 mins when you flash a rom.

Now, you are completly sure that you are actually flashing the right ROM for your device model?

If so, just keep flashing stock roms until you're up and running again, so you can start from scrap.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megosu:
I tried, the issue is as soon as I flash a stock rom (through Odin), then I can't get into stock recovery mode anymore, I have to flash GT-I9100_ICS_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4.tar to get back the recovery mode.

I tried to flash several times, I think it is down to the fact I cannot mount or format /data.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
I dunno what kernel you are using, If stock 4.0.4 kernel you should flash siyah first (safe kernel, no brick bug), and then countinue flashing the ROM. Check out the brick bug thread in general SII forum for directions if you want.

BTW, Odin recognizes your phone right? Check it out, you'll get a huge long breath.

BTW 2: you don't have any kies applications running in your pc.....am I right? if so, CLOSE THEM ALL!

I'm already using Odin 3.04 as he did to fix this issue. He has a S3 though and was using Odin 3.07.

I tried Odin 1.85 also but same issue.

I flashed Siyah-s2-v5.0.1-CWM.zip

and yes I have followed the thread you point to, and it fails when I try their recovery ROM.

I do as they say "1) Grab the Recovery Package, and you'll see a bunch of .tar files. Take a look at the names. You'll see CODE, MODEM, CSC and .PIT. Put each one in its place."

but Odin fails while flashing data.

one of the only things I haven't tried so far is to flash a PIT file... but it seems risky and I have no clue if it is going to fix it.

Then again, I never flashed any .pit in the first place so I don't get why the partitions would have been screwed.

What I know is there seems to be an issue with my /data partition as Odin fails when trying to write DATA, and CWM cannot format it or mount it.

just so we are clear.....you are flashing a stock ROM and letting it reboot your device for itself without going to recovery right? And then you get stucked at the samsung logo?

For what I've seen, people who experience this issue just keep on flashing till it passes the odin flash and samsung logo after reboot.

Follow a youtube guide just to make sure everything is in place (ODIN related).

Maybe you could look into the CM thread, they might have a solution there.
