Hey XDA-Devs, so recently my Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-1747M Bell) lost it's IMEI and I couldn't connect to the Bell Network at all. So I gave my phone for them to repair.

So I would like to know the steps that I should do before Rooting or putting a Custom Rom to my Phone. I don't want to go through this process again. What do I need to save to my computer, and what kinds of tools should I use Root and Apply Custom Roms to my Phone.

Thanks.:good:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGoogleUser:
Hey all. Can anyone tell me exactly what "success rebooting by reason oem-00" means? And why is it every time I boot into recovery I get can't mount cache/recovery/command. I believe its my sdcard. Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tourney3p0:
I doubt it's your SDcard. Its mount point is at /sdcard, not /cache. Sounds like you either need to wipe your cache or you're trying to do something with s-off when you're still s-on.

This is making the assumption that you're trying to flash an update via recovery. If not, please ignore.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGoogleUser:
I'm completely stock. Just when I make a selection in recovery I get a bunch of errors. I can't factory reset, well I can but it won't fix the problem. I can run an ruu over and over and still get the same errors. I'm just wondering what the success reboot means and why it won't let me choose anything in recovery. Should I flash 4ext?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harshgpt816:
Ya me to think its sd card problem i recomennd format card ree root re install clock work mod it will fix it .....

DONT JUST SAY THANKS CLICK IT..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGoogleUser:
I've already formatted, without backing up my picture music ect..:(, and still won't fix. What could be causing the ruu not to fix my phone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tourney3p0:
It still sounds to me like it's not an SDcard issue since the mountpoint isn't /sdcard, but after looking at some Google results I could be wrong. Do you still get the error if you boot with the SDcard removed?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGoogleUser:
I'm not sure. But I really don't wanna pull the sd. That requires taking the battery out and if I do that I'm stuck in a boot loop.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tourney3p0:
I believe you can unseat the SD card without entirely removing it or the battery. If not, no big deal.

What method are you using to flash the RUU? It seems to me like the installer would automatically wipe the /cache directory, but that's probably not a safe assumption to make. At this point it couldn't hurt to install 4ext and make absolutely sure all partitions other than sdcard are wiped. Also, do you get any mount errors other than /cache/recovery/command?

I would try the following, seeing if there is progress after each step:

1) Unseat the sdcard without removing the battery, if possible. If not then skip this step.

2) Install 4ext and wipe cache (all cache, not just davlik)

3) Remove battery and remove sdcard. I know this sucks and you'll get boot loops, but it doesn't matter because the next step is:

4) Wipe all partitions other than sdcard. Even wipe sdcard if you've got a backup. Then attempt an RUU install.

If none of these work, I'm out of ideas. Maybe someone else can chime in. I know there used to be a lot of reports from other devices about /cache/recovery/command and some other directories not being mountable when the eMMC died. It's possible yours is dying and the cache is getting corrupted by hardware failure. That's a worst case scenario, but we gotta eliminate all other possibilities before we make that call.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGoogleUser:
Yes when I try to wipe the cache in stock recovery I get a bunch of mourning errors. Recovery.log last.log and a few others. I'll try yo get the SD out. If not I'll install 4ext and try to wipe cache. How would I go about wiping my partitions? I can use 4ext without root correct? Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tourney3p0:
Installing 4ext without root should be no problem. Just make sure the device is unlocked using the HTC Dev Tool (mandatory). Then go through the flashboot process for recovery.img. It couldn't hurt to install SuperSU while you're in there, though that's outside the scope of what we're trying to repair right now. Once you're in 4ext, under the Wipe menu, there should be an option for "Wipe all partitions other than sdcard" (paraphrased). Go with that. Though if the stock recovery didn't do it, I don't have high hopes for 4ext to be able to.

The fact that you're getting multiple mounting errors leads me to believe you have a bad eMMC. If all the steps from the previous post fail, that'll tell you for sure.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGoogleUser:
Okay. Just gotta wait since I let my dad borrow my laptop. Should be home soon. If it is emmc, where does that put the phone? Beyond repair? If so I'm not to worried since I'm upgrade eligible soon. Just worried that I'm gonna get stuck in a bootloop and have to use the recovery option from fast boot since thats the only thing that cures the bootloop (until next battery pull) and start over again. Pain in the butt!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tourney3p0:
I would recommend that you do a Titanium Backup, but since you don't have root that's out of the question. Kind of an unfortunate situation. I've never done this, but it seems like you could probably use Online Nandroid to make a nandroid backup of your working system. Then if you ever get stuck in a boot loop, you could restore the backup to your current (hopefully) working configuration. It doesn't help you right now, but it might help in the future. Just make sure to root it while you're doing all this.

I believe eMMC is on the main logic board. You might want to call Sprint to confirm, but it stands to reason that you could probably swap in another one. I'm noticing a couple on eBay in the 30-40 dollar range. Not sure if there are any phone-specific values on the logic board that make the board unswappable, but hopefully Sprint could tell you for sure.

Maybe you'll get lucky and that's not the problem anyway.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGoogleUser:
Normally i use App Monster Pro. No root. Im going to back up and and flash the recovery right now. Ill let you know what happens. Hopefully this works.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGoogleUser:
well i removed the battery and sd card and replaced the battery and she booted up fine! no bootloop this time. Maybe its the sd after all? but i think your right cause i get cant mount cache recovery command and thats not on the sd like you said. Im going to boot back down, remove battery reinstall sd and then see if it boots up.

EDIT: reinserted sdcard and it booted up fine AGAIN. Why phone?! haha. Wonder what was causing the bootlooping when the battery was removed?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tourney3p0:
I checked for those locations in my cache directory and they don't exist for me either. That probably means they're created dynamically during recovery, but I know very little about what happens behind the scenes there. Maybe certain parts of your cache are unwriteable. Just to clarify, the mount errors happened even while the sd card was out and continued to exist even after it was put back in, right? Maybe it's the sd card after all if not. Any errors while wiping all the partitions?

Glad to hear that it's at least sort of working for now. Couldn't hurt to do a nandroid backup anyway just in case it happens again while you're out and about and don't have time to do a full manual reinstall.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGoogleUser:
Haven't flashed the recovery just yet. My primary goal was to get this boot looping to stop. Success! I will flash recovery tonight. And I haven't checked the recovery.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.fast:

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.fast:
It would also be good other users could post their scores too...
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaf:
The low scores are due to crappy I/O performance from the pad. It seems to be a hardware limitation, since no update has exponentially speed up the device. You can get better scores using custom ROMs and Kernels, and using data2sd with a high speed sdcard. But remember installing custom ROMs requires that you unlock you device, which in turn voids your warranty with ASUS.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.fast:

I know this has been mentioned before, and we sound like a broke record. But in my frustration I must say this again.

It's impossible to find any Samsung accessories on any online retailers besides eBay at outrageous prices.

Been trying to find the HDMI MHL adapter: 3PHPBEGXAR

For the Note 10.1, and after 10 pages on Google full of retailers that are OUT OF STOCK, it's clear Samsung has no intention of making customer's happy after their initial purchase.

Even Asus, a much smaller company has made their accessories available at my local retailer at a good price let alone online.

This is unacceptable.

So I decided to try this new feature of TiBu and flashed the update.zip in recovery after I flashed a new rom. The problem is that Google also downloads missing apps even ones I deleted a long time ago and are also not in the backup zip file I made in TiBu. Is there anyway to disable Google from doing this?

This is after wiping and flashing a new rom and doing the set up wizard. Asked to link my Google /gmail account to the phone so i would assume if I skipped that step it would cause an issue?

Thanks.

It shouldn't cause any sort of issue. I have done it before without any sort of issue. You can link the google/Gmail account to your phone at a later time, like after you flash that update.zip. I advise that you make an update.zip of only user apps. I find that a lot of the problems that people have are caused by restoring apps and data. I find that it's ok to restore the data of games though

When you first setup your phone Google asks do you want to backup your settings online and then asks do you want it to restore your data (wifi settings, apps, etc). You have chosen yes to both.

[HTC One X] Havoc2510:
Hello,

I have been on CM10 for a month or so now and it is great, but I am really unhappy with the stock camera and I sort of miss Sense (even though it is really laggy). I was just wondering if there are any good Sense based ROM's out there, and whether all the data I have at the moment from this CM10 ROM will be transferred over (I really hope so)? If not, I will try and restore the phone to how it was when I bought it, and this sounds quite difficult from the other threads I have been on. I would be really grateful for any help :). Thanks in advance.
[HTC One X] Dan_99:
All of the Sense based roms are basically as good as each other. It really just depends on personal preference and whether you want a themed rom or not.

I personally use OrDroid because it is very fast, smooth, and I've experienced no lag with it. However, if you are wanting to go back to complete stock,

you will have to use the command fastboot getvar version-main in fastboot mode to find out which RUU you need to download. Once you've done that, you will need to flash a stock recovery and lock your bootloader before you run the RUU to prevent errors.

Whether you want a custom Sense based rom, or to flash the phone back to stock, if you want your data to transfer over you will need to use Titanium Backup or a similar app beforehand to backup, and restore it again after you change roms.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brent212:
I'd like to know if this is by design (it happens to everyone) or if something's just up with my phone.

Whenever I get an email with more than 5 images attached, thumbnails show up for only the first five. Any after that have an empty space where the thumb should be, but each image (first 5 AND any following images) has buttons to download or preview the image. So while I can conveniently get a good idea of what the first five images contain, I have to preview or download any following images to do the same, which requires opening the image in a separate image viewing app.

My phone's a Sprint Epic 4G Touch, with Gingerbread (2.3.3, I think), and I'm using the Gmail app, version 2.3.6.

Does this happen to anyone else? Is there anywhere to change the number from 5 to something else?

Thanks,

I'm not saying the images aren't attached to the emails. I'm saying that the android app on my phone just doesn't display a thumbnail for images after the 5th one, regardless of the file sizes. If I open the email from the web interface on a PC, the images are all there with thumbnails.

I've tested it out with small images, and big ones. As far as I can tell, this has nothing to do with a file/email size limitation.

it's not the service in my area, i've confirmed with friends who have android phones - their service is fine.

it's not my rom/kernel combo, it's done this across 3 different roms now.
