[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beauenheim:
I had this exact problem before.

Here's what I did:

Went into fastboot and typed these in order

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot erase cache

This will completely wipe your phone making fastboot the only accessible thing, it will only boot into fastboot.

Then I downloaded the google factory image and extracted that into the toolkit. While in fastboot I used the toolkit to manually install each file in the same order.

Hopefully this will fix it.

thnks in advance
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
thanks for providing the deatiled info in relation to your problem.

Of course, we all know that your laptop runs under DOS 6.22 128bit, while yours bro's one is loaded with Sun Solaris 3.1.

Furthermore, as we guess, your phone's ROM is ported from SGS1 android 2.3.4, right?

Comparing your question with car users one it would be: I have an Opel. Please provide me with the part number for cambelt tensioners.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandeep5885:
thnks for the reply. but the prblm is not that d phn connects well with my brothers laptop (hp pavilion g series) and not with my dell xps 15. wt i said was that my laptop show all services whn i pair it with my brothers laptop bt it doesnt install and show all services whn i pair it with my s3.

i am on stock rom android ver 4.1.1.....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
Based on provided by you system info and drivers versions I can say that you should sell dell and boy hp.

Or, you can ask someone adult, who would explain to you my questions.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NatTheCat:
What OS?

What BT Drivers have you installed?

Start by removing the S3 then find the bt drivers and un install them and reboot.

Then go to broadcom and download the latest bt drivers, reboot and pair s3

[LG Nitro HD] SIdiKelly:
Hello everyone!

I would really be thankfull to anyone who can provide me some assistance

I have followed all the steps to unbrick my LG P930 (Nitro HD with official ATT ROM ICS V20c) from the mattman86 guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1784709

But each time i try to flash the ATT stock rom (official 2.3.5), the phone cannot perfom the factory reset. It reboots and the screes stucks on the second LG LOGO.

I've tried to follow all the steps several times but i am not able to go back to the ATT ROM.

Please help! Seems my phone is gone!

[EDITED]

Followed the instructions from this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2044645 and I can confirm that i works!

THank you Hereric
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
Tell me how exactly you are "flashing" the AT&T rom?
[LG Nitro HD] SIdiKelly:
I just followed the instructions in the guide:
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
Did you do the battery pull then hold down volume down and power until you had the white text appear at the top of the screen? BTW....make sure that you unplug the usb cable first.
[LG Nitro HD] SIdiKelly:
Hello!

I just followed all the instructions again from top. Flashed the ATT sotck ROM, unplugged the USB cable first, pulled the battery and tried a factory reset but it still stucked at the scond LG Logo just as previously.
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
And you didn't release any buttons? If you release any of the buttons before the factory reset text is displayed it will stay stuck on the 2nd logo. Also something to test: install the ics leak v18f then try to do a factory reset. If it still doesn't then it may appear to be a hardware problem, like a faulty volume button.
[LG Nitro HD] SIdiKelly:
Nope i didn't release any of them till the "Hard Facory reset" text appears. Then I confirmed the action by pressing the power buttun twice. So the phone rebooted. After then i got the screen with the androig logo and a status bar. After that the phone rebooted again and stay stucked on the second LG screen.
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
Okay that is the factory reset looks like something is corrupted with the boot loader. If you install the v18f exe program only are you able to get it to boot?
[LG Nitro HD] SIdiKelly:
Yes I successfully installed the v18f yesterday, booted on it and rooted it using TPSparky method. After that I performed a factory reset without any problem. But once again when I try to flash to the ATT Stock GB ROM it stucks on the seconde LG logo after trying to do the factory reset.

BTW thank you very much for your assistance. good to know thaht somebody is caring about me
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
Okay next question which kdz file did you download? I would recommend either the v10c or v10f for the p936. Also are you remembering to run the afterroot.bat file when the phone hangs at the 2nd logo?
[LG Nitro HD] SIdiKelly:
Good News

Brought good news finally..

I followed all the steps in this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2044645 run the AfterROOT script at step 15 and wow.. It works!!

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] max9979:
Good Evening Friends,

After a lot of research and reading various sites I seem to have found a solution to the proximity sensor issue with HD2 while using Windows 7 or 7.8.

Changing the dword from 0 to 1 did not work cos restarting the phone reset it back to 0 enabling the proximity sensor and turning screen off during calls without being able to get it back without restarting.

However by following the steps below one can restore the screen back during a call without disconnecting and waking up the screen for using the options onscreen and thus solve it once and for all cos restarting does not reset these values.

1. Install Lang HD2 Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.8 OS 7.10.8858.136 RMT v8.6. Its a good rom and internet works on it unlike RMT8.7 wherein many are facing issues with internet. Moreover this rom is stable as i have myself tested it for 2 days now.

2. Install WP7 root tools from the following link http://www.wp7roottools.com/index.php/downloads

3. Grant/Enable root access in the root manager software which comes preinstalled as part of the rom.

4. Open WP7Root Tools and Click on HKEY LOCAL MACHINE

5. Click on Drivers---> Built In---> Proximity

6. Rename senscmdd.dll to senscmdd.dll2 by adding a 2 at the end.

7. Rename sensorpdd_htc.dll to sensorpdd_htc.dll2 by adding a 2 at the end.

8. Change ScreenOffThreshold valuedata by selecting it to 1000000

9. Now after saving the above exit wp7 root tools and reboot.

10. Once you have rebooted during a call you can press the red end call button without disconnecting the call and get the onscreen options without any trouble.

Hope this helps. Valuable feedback is welcome. You could thank me if this worked for you.

CHEERS...
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pilotgav:
Now that CM 10.1 is the only ROM being actively worked on for the A700, I've moved over to it.

Does anyone know of a kernel that allows overclocking of the CPU and/or GPU and is compatible with CM 10.1?

Here's hoping someone takes over now that Iconian isn't being supported anymore. I wish I could but I have no clue what I'm doing :)

Gavin
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
Hey dude,

In this topic (post #103, #104) they're talking about a kernel which has the OC and the UV for CM 10.1.

It's not Vorbeth's original stuff (but a lot of his work has been applied), so I think it's al right to give it a try.

Good luck!

Watching an html5 video in full screen on chrome beta seems to trigger it. it also appears out of the blue sometimes.

Screenshots attached. Its that faint circle on upper left hand corner.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sropedia:
I also get this, but i get it whenever I'm reading an article in pocket, and sometimes the whole status bar dims and some of the icons disappear until I pull it down. Are you on sense jellybean?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ethantarheels123:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] EliWay:
Yes. stock rooted jelly bean, so im sure its not a mod.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] paul_viado:
been trying to figure this out as well,

curious are you guys using google now by any chance?

im on cm10.1 and i get that same thing every so often im beginning to think its google now or something since i always use it for weather. but i could be wrong.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] EliWay:
I may have solved the mystery. I pushed the SystemUI.apk file to my computer to analyze it and that icon is called ic_sysbar_lights_out_dot_small.jpg .

This is supposed to be shown on devices with soft navigation buttons like the Galaxy Nexus when in "Lights out" mode to replace the back, home and task switcher buttons with faint circles so you can ,say, watch a movie in full screen and not be distracted by the buttons.

I have no idea why it's being shown in the notification area.. maybe Google added it as an additional visual cue in JB, and HTC didn't bother to remove it?

Anyway, I'm pretty confident that's what it is.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxsickcity:
Hi,

I have a A501 and Just installed Tegraowner's ICS 4.0.4 rom

I want to know if I can control the a501's screen to dim after X seconds, then shut off after X minutes.. of my choice.

I would find this feature useful.

Ive tried wakelock and others but it keeps screen on DIM, and never off, sometimes an alert comes then doesnt turn off.. Battery dies..

So I would love a program or app that can do this, does anyone here know of any app I can use or some type of script or automation.

I wish android would have this as an option on screen timeout options.

thanks

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRPnet:
Hi,

Short story:

(My phone is a UK BTU unit - unlocked)

I was running Omega v36.

In my infinite wisdom I tried investigating hard swap. I cocked it up!

Now my i9300 sits on the Samsung GT-I9300 screen.

I can access download mode and Odin can use this

I can also access recovery mode (stock or another I can flash through Odin)

There only seems to one ROM that I can install which is a stock 3 ROM.

Upon install, it has no network or wireless connectivity.

Also on the stock recovery screen it says it cannot find \efs.

I've searched high and low, tried many different ROMS/CSC/MODEM/RECOVERY options and cannot get it to use any ROM that allows me some connectivity.

I have also tried looking for how to recover the EFS partition. I don't have a backup, BUT I do have a nandroid backup that has an efs.ext4.tar which does seem to contain the EFS folder stuff.

Can anyone help me get this thing working again?

TIA!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy1weir@hotmail.co.uk:
Can you not flash the backup of the efs folder you have?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRPnet:
No, tried using the tar file in Odin and it crashes. It's fine with the others.

Should also mention - I have tried Kies. Flash went through, but upon reboot it was stuck at the Sammy screen again (the GT-I9300 one).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRPnet:
Don't know if it's relevant but I'll post it anyway

adb push the EFS files back?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRPnet:
That sounds like an amazing suggestion, which I havent tried.

But.....this still wouldn't solve the EFS partion missing thing...would it?

And, does anyone know where on my phone the efs folder should go? (I'm sure we all know the repurcussions of it going in the wrong place, typos etc etc)

Cheers.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
First, clean the mess you (possibly) made using one of these

then, verify condition of your connections...

then, refer for further actions (if you still will have problem) here
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRPnet:
Ok, perhaps I'm missing something here...

I don't have root access on the phone. Via USB all I can see is the default folders it lets you see.

I'm unable to connect by WiFi (thats one of the issues), so I can't download any native android apps that may help.

I CAN put stuff on the External SD card, but without having full and unlimited access to the phone memory I don't understand how I am going to copy the efs folder to where it needs to go.

I can't get any data by GSM/HSDPA, as it shows no SIM.

I have tried to flash modems but this didn't help.

Please help. I'd really like this phone to be working by the end of today (UK time :) )
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRPnet:
So after flashing my phone like loads of times today, it has become apparent that pretty much everyone hosts files on hotfile so these take like forever to download and I'm still no nearer to getting full access on my phone and having a usable phone.

I tried a reverse tether, but its unable to run correctly because I dont have root (with a view to allowing me to dl some stuff to phone)

Altho I was able to install Superuser (as an apk on external SD card), I get no popup asking for su access.

This is really getting frustrating now. I cant be the only one to have this problem? I've been trying to fix this all day long

Kies/Odin/CSC/PDA/PHONE

Incidentally, Kies has only recognized the device once - that was when I did an emeregency recovery thing in it.

Otherwise it just keeps showing as connecting..........

Anyone? Ppppppplease....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
It is pretty normal. KIES is conecting, bcs stupid Windows is trying to update the drivers.

When connecting to KIES, disable PC internet connection.

alternatively, write down in KIES your serial number from sticker, and download firmware prior to it.

But, honestly, if I'd be you, I'd try RESURRECTION ROM given by me in previous post.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2nas:
I'm not sure if it can helps you, but it worth to have a try.

2nas.com

Provides :

1: Integrates Unbrick / Flash ROM / Root All-In-One.

2: Use the same protocol as ODIN, but 2nas is more user-friendly and easy-to-use.

3: Cloud based database to flash your android phone with correct files(ROM, etc)

4: Automatically download necessery files to flash, and check them with SHA1, it's safe for your phone.

5: Store all downloaded files in local disk, under a good directory structure, it's usefull when you have several phones.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRPnet:
Thanks. Software looks good and cloud downloads are amazingly fast. Trying it right now! Fingers crossed :D

EDIT: Well, 1st flash didn't go so well. Flashed ok, but upon reboot same problem...stuck at the Samsung GT-I9300 screen. Now trying a different firmware (strangely, the 3 one I seem to be having some luck with on Odin).

EDIT2: Managed to get that firmware installed - but still no EFS partition/folder so no connectivity. :(

EDIT3: I DO LIKE THAT SOFTWARE THO. Very nice 2nas!

EDIT4: Ok, after much messing I managed to get my EFS folder back. It still wont let me connect to a network, although it does show networks. I also still cannot connect to a WiFi (my own!). Every time I reboot the phone, the EFS folder gets deleted and I have to copy over again. So guys, over to you...any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRPnet:
Well, good news.... :victory:

I flashed and rooted using 2nas software. Very good it is! I recommend it to newbs wanting to root.

As stated in 1st post, I had a copy of my EFS folder in a efs.ext4.tar.

After much messing about involving me having to copy over the EFS folder several times and sometimes it working and others it not...

I saw someones post about baseband (in S3 case Modem/CSC). I flashed one of each through Odin.

It went into Factory mode (dunno what that was about)...I copied over my EFS folder...and voila...network running...IMEI restored....

I still dont seem to be able to get Wifi...but thats a minor niggle...I'm on an unlimited data plan anyway...fortunately.

I've yet to reboot to see if the EFS folder sticks...but at least I now know I can get it to a working condition-ish. There must be some dev's here who know the answer to that one..

So a huge warning to all....make sure you have multiple copies of your EFS folder...it's saved me!! :good:

Now, gotta go see if I can get that Wifi working...

Thanks....a great community here.

Oh, first thing I'm doing....taking another backup of that EFS folder!!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRPnet:
Well taken from a post of kocweb

So it seems the EFS folder install is fixed. I should mention I installed HC-kTool to restore EFS folder from my efs.ext4.tar which I placed in /sdcard on my phone (thats the internal memory, and where you end up if you connect to your PC with USB cable)

Thanks guys.....now...dare I reflash with Omega v39... :p

Hi all!

Thats my first post, i comming from swizerland, and my english is not good!! sorry for that! :angel:

I think i have the same problem but a bit difrent. i have translate my question with google hope that works and you understand it:

Hi all.

'm New here, please little indulgence if I'm doing something wrong: o)

Have unfortunately a boat trailer in the process

Mobile: Galaxy S3

Wanted to put on my cell phone that is flashed via odin this new FW:

I9300XXELL4_I9300AUTELK2_I9300XXELL4_HOME.tar.md5

Everything without problems, CF root on it, not a problem.

Then Triangle instaled away, not a problem.

I saw the EFS should secure their first choice, this Ktool downloaded (play store).

backed up, but nothing was available (I think becouse partion is named "sdcard0" and not "sdcard" (??))

Ok then I have a root folder app downloaded wanted sdcard0 change in sdcard but dosn`t work..

Then I wanted to check Ktool, the difrent funtions and am accidentally come to "ESF format" (in german "format is like *avi*, *mkv* *wmv*and have also confirmed this .. :rolleyes:

Result -> phone stops at the boot logo.

New flash via Odin tried but without success.

factory reset and reset cache on Recovery also without success.

Half the south death I think I'm not. Since model name in the download mode available.

Luckily I have a backup of EFS i think from omega rom on my sd ext:

efs_01Oct2012-1028.tar.gz

when i open it with 7zip i have that: efs_01Oct2012-1028.tar

open it again then that :

Can i flash it with Odin? when yes where must i put it in? "PDA" , "CSC" , "PHONE" ?

I tried that out but become that:

In recovery I can`t mount my sdcard (maybe because its named sdcard0?)

Edit: installed from internal_sd and external card I can choose.

i hope i said the most usful to help me .

and sorry for my english!! (half is from google ;) )

thx and gretings from swizerland

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRPnet:
Follow the steps I posted in my earlier threads...first thing you'll need to do is root your phone though.

I was lucky as I had some .apk files around which helped. You may need to search on the forum or otherwise.

To help you, heres what I used

Ariza Patch - can be found on forum

Superuser - can be found in something called Galaxy SIII Firmware Downloader

root explorer - unsure where this came from (any kind of explorer will do)

Busybox - unsure where my copy came from, but can be found around and on Play store

Android Terminal - can be found on Play store.

First thing...root your device

second extract your backed up /efs folder to the folder called /efs on your phone memory.

Try Wifi. It may work. If it does, you can get any other apps you need on Play store.

Once you've copied the files, open your android terminal and follow the last part of my previous post.

That should get you up and running.

Good luck.

Edit: Coult it be my phone dosn`t boot becouse the "efs" is lost?....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRPnet:
After you have used Odin, are you going going into recovery and doing a wipe?

You need to WIPE/FACTORY RESET and then WIPE CACHE.

Your phone should then boot up

Try that, let me know how you get on.

I'm no expert on these things, so if someone else wants to join in this thread...feel free.

I can only relate to my experience. Although your experience does sound similar.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdani:
after wipe/factory reset shoult i restart to recovery or do the wipe cache without reboot to recovery?

i doing that without reboot to recovery but no chance... still the same... :rolleyes:

in recovery it also says : E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument) --> like i said.. no efs in my phone..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRPnet:
You can do both at the same time. It should then reboot.

Don't worry about the error...that will show until you got it recovered.

You've got to get the phone booting correctly before you can restore the EFS partition from your backup.

Once the phone boots up, you may find that with your SIM inserted you get no phone signal - it might even say that you have no SIM inserted. You will also not be able to get Wifi. Thats why you need the apk's for the software I mentioned on your external SD card.

Now, if you know how to use adb you can push them with that (if you know how, I don't).

If the phone boots correctly, your PC should see it and you SHOULD be able to copy files.

Thats the important part.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdani:
thats the big problem my phone dos not boot... i tried like you said wipe data and cache but the phone dos`t boot...
