SGH-T999, stock t999uvdlja

A month or two ago, I followed a rooting instructions thread on here. It had me use odin to flash over a clockwork recovery mod as the first step. It flashed over fine according to odin, but I was never able to enter recovery following the next steps and therefore was not able to root. I can't find the thread anymore.

I realized after the fact that my phone was already on Jellybean, so I presume, maybe wrongly, that the reason the clockwork mod wouldn't work was because it was for the older Ice cream sandwich firmware.

Anyway, now my phone says unable to update because it's modified when I go into settings:about:software updates.

I want to get this error to go away. I have kies and there is now a firmware update in there that I would like to do to see if it fixes a problem with the wifi calling app breaking caller id among other things.

I am afraid that if I try to push this update via kies, it may brick the phone or not work thanks to the clockwork mod problem.

So two questions: 1) how can I un-flash that clockwork mod out of there and make the recovery back to stock so there is no further error or possible warranty issue, and 2) is it safe to do that kies firmware update and if so would that fix the recovery on its own?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CptCrackers:
Any ideas?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dls5375:
You need to find the stock recovery .tar file and use odin to flash it the same way you flashed the cwm recovery. Then you will probably need to use triangle away to reset the counter.....dont think kies would work if it sees your device is modified but not sure about that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joemm:
Use triangle away first to reset your flash counter then odin the completly stock jb from here http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426424....this is from docholidays thread for stock odin roms in the sticky section of development. ..this should give you a completely stock phone including recovery.....you will lose your data from this process but your sd card will be fine.

Edit: just realized you dont have root...you need root to use triangle away....so first odin root 66 pre root stock rom....then use triangle away....then odin stock unrooted rom that I linked above.

[Q] At&t HOX stuck in boot loop after trying to flash viperx using Flash Image GUI

First off thanks in advance for anyone who is willing to help. Here is my situation:

I successfully rooted my phone and are using TWRP as a recovery. I created two backups, one before rooting and one after. I then tried to flash viperx using Flash Image GUI from the playstore. I did this by copying the viperx zip file to my virtual sd card and then used Flash Image GUI to locate the zip file and then flash. Now my HTC ONE X is stuck in a boot loop. I tried doing a recovery on both backups I created and none of them are fixing the issue. I tried wiping the cache, system, and Dalvik cache. I'm not sure if I missed any important/necessary steps when trying to flash the rom. Can anyone PLEASE HELP me? Any help would be great and again thank you in advance.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Do you mean Viper XL? ViperX is the ROM for the quad core tegra3 version of the One X. Post a link of what you flashed.

For ViperXL its not necessary to flash boot.img using fastboot or Flash Image GUI. It will flash boot.img in AROMA.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
you did actually flash the rom in twrp right? from what you said all you did was flash the boot.img using flashimagegui thinking that flashes the rom.

like redpoint73 said, you did download viperxl right?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dirty2k9:
problem solved

Hey thanks guys for your replys but I went ahead and installed the factory Rom and rerooted. I tried flashing viperx again following a YouTube video and got stuck in a boot loop again. Had to reinstall factory Rom again. I think I'll just try another Rom. But again thanks for replying. Have a great year.

i need suggestion :confused: from you guys.i find these three cases and want to buy one of them plz help me to choose one which look better with my black

thanks in advance:D

IMO, Blue if you like contrast.

Or Black, coz you can never be wrong with Black :p

i need it on the regular basis some time i get oily hands on it.so i want one that dont look dirty
[Galaxy S II Accessories] caliber2001:
He ur hands get oily why don't u think about something with increased durability eg Otterbox Commuter or Casemate Tough or at least same styled noname cases from ebay which u can get for 2-3 pounds.

if U want2say thanks press the 'thank you' button below the post
[Galaxy S II Accessories] One B&G:
The purple one is better,because it makes just nice contras

black colour is too familiar.

But it's up to you.:)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kt-Froggy:
I have a black version of the one on the last photo (with a stylized "S" back design), and I love it. Looks great, provides a good secure grip due to textured sides, and has a very nice tight fit (but still removes easily as needed). Buttons are a bit stiff, though, but I got used to it very quickly.

As for the colour, it's all up to personal preferences. I like dark minimalistic style, but can't really suggest anything... :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] TarunBHart:
Its too confusing man.so i decided to buy two from them the blue one is perfect so now which one black or purple?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] caliber2001:

[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
I have always felt that stock has offered the best battery life in both standby and active. I re installed 100% stock rooted with this method (thanks reddevil) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2052321. I also installed the LG Optimus fast dormancy tool that I found on another XDA forum and can be downloaded here: https://drive.google.com/fe/m?gsessionid=WZD8FPkXXWpJWcFV3xyoCg# and this is what I acheived:

View attachment 1695245

EDIT:The original thread that I found the program to disable fast dormancy is located here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2021248

Note: it works whether or not you have root however it is limited to stock only.
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
Which battery are you using? Stock or extended?
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
Stock... Sweet huh? I found that by disabling fast dormancy it makes a huge difference in standby battery drain. Unfortunately it only works on stock (all versions). Without it the internal timer is always waking up the phone to check on network status which really isn't needed. I also have gotten away from using the hi-cap so on could use cases :D
[LG Nitro HD] Cam R:
How much screen time?
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
I actually didn't look maybe a little less than an hour. Did surf for a while and paid some bills a few phone calls and the flat spot on the graph was over night so it would say very light use. I usually use my phone a lot more but forgot my charger at work so I was deliberately used it conservatively. The dashes below the graph are the wake times.
[LG Nitro HD] burma:
I'm getting pretty much the same with data turned off (sync for 5 mins only every hour) and not using the phone (2-3 % discharge per hour).

But the thing is, when i actually use the phone (screen, web browsing) it discharges like 30-40% per hour (non-stop use). I feel this is wrong, is it?

Fast dormancy fix applied.
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
We have almost no adjustments that can be made with screen on. Maybe some tweaking here or there. My biggest concern was power drain with screen off. I set out on this quest when I first got the phone in May and it had Gingerbread and I was draining like 5% / hr with the screen off. CM9 was better but horrible with screen on. I found stock to be the best balance but until I found this FD app it was still draining 1-2% per hour now it's like every 2 - 3 hrs. To get back to your question.... Is it normal? Well yes and maybe it really depends on what you are doing.. Surfing the Web... Not so much. Talking on the phone.... Playing games, etc heck yes that is normal. Try adjusting screen brightness and also an app like juice defender that can dynamically adjust cpu & screen.
[LG Nitro HD] KronicSkillz:
dude if 24% of ur battery is standby that means you didn't use the phone... i can get 24h on standby too, and i don't run juice defender etc...
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
You are missing the whole point of my posting. I was promoting the capability to improve the Nitro's battery life while in standby. We Nitro users can get all the battery life we can get and it is up to you if you want to reduce stand by battery usage by over 50% by using this FD toggle app. I would suggest trying this app for 2 days and use your phone like you normally do then two days without it and see for yourself if you have better battery life. Just a heads up with the app DISABLE must be selected for it to work. Pay special attention to Android System power usage vs Cell Standby power usage. If Android System is more than Cell Standby you will have greater power usage with screen off.
[LG Nitro HD] KronicSkillz:
my point was i get better battery life than that with no battery saver and no fast dormant tool, i use liquid nitro v6 and callibrate my battery every other week, right now this is what my usage reads.

35% battery remaining.

Usage

36% screen

18% standby

13% android os

8% phone idle

7% android system

5% media server

5% wifi

4% voice calls

3% bluetooth

2% power amp

2% google chrome

Time 1D 0H 55M 45s On battery (still35% remaining)

this battery will still last another 10 hours, total usage will be around 36 hours and i used LESS standby/idle time than you, hense i'm getting far more out of my battery with less mods. im running V20c liquid nitro V6 wind kenerl v3.0 with NO BATTERY APPS (battery apps usually consume as much energy as they save sometims more sometimes less depending on system environment) the stock battery saver on this phone doesn't even turn on until 30% battery so mine hasn't turned on yet, but all it does is disable whatever services u want once phone reaches 30%. if you want to get more out of your battery, just run an efficient rom, calibrate battery properly (ask me if u need info) and be smart with what apps you install.

---------- Post added at 08:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 AM ----------

i'm gonna let the battery run under 5% then take a screenshot
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
The FD tool actually doesn't stay resident it initiates a script that starts at boot but I would be interested in the other tools you have used as it might also work on other OS's as I am playing with 10.1 right now. One word of caution I have been told by devs on this site that battery calibration does more harm than good. Also I haven't been able to run v6 phone keeps rebooting :(

One more thing what battery are you using and what was your on screen time? Well I guess that's two :cool:
[LG Nitro HD] mpsantiago:
Yeah these batteries don't like to go all the way to zero. I've owned 9 android devices and have tinkered a lot- the conclusion I've drawn is that you get a nice placebo effect from "calibrating" the battery.
[LG Nitro HD] KronicSkillz:
i tested 3 batteries, their life on standby and running video from 100% to 0% and all 3 batteries had better life after calibration, in every test. call me crazy but it seems to work. the only explination i can come up with is that people don't do it properly. i got my battery wipe procedure from this page: i did exactly what he said to calibrate my battery i tested 3 differant batteries and it helped all 3 one of them got 15% more life on video playback and 35% more on stanby after calibration.

http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-hacking-guides/14714-how-optimize-battery-life-speed.html

step 3 is battery calibration. EDIT -> this step is found under section 2b Operation System.

note: i am not agreeing with everything on this thread i'm just saying that i tested batteries after using those steps for calibration and they all performed better after.

side note: it would be interesting to test what the battery lifes would be if i was to wipe the battery stats in CWM whent he battery was 50% charge. then let randomly charge it without doing the proper full discharge and recharge, and see if that ruins that battery life. i suspect that it would, and this is why people think it harms the battery, im not an expert this is just an assumption. my testing was not extensive enough to prove this only to prove that the batteries i was using had better life on the roms i tested them on in both video and standby after calibration.
[LG Nitro HD] KronicSkillz:
few things i want to point out.

i used my phone more (less standby and more screen usage)

i got longer battery life.

i didn't waste 7% of my battery on juice defender

i used more apps and media tools.

i'm using stock battery and my rom is linked in sig

i had wi-fi or data on 24/7 sometimes both

stock battery.

as i respect other peoples opinions my science background leads me to lead towards strong evidence until i see stronger evidence supporting another theory.
[LG Nitro HD] KronicSkillz:
here is battery at 7%

*edit* for the purpose of this test i turned off the stock battery saver (the thing that turns off wifi etc under 30%) at 32% so it never even came on
