[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Fuze2009:
My company now requires the encrypt device policy for exchange, so I went ahead encrypted the device while running CM10. The encryption succeeded, but every time the screen timed out, it would turn off the device instead of just turn off the screen (CM10 bug?) - didn't want to have to deal with having to cold boot the device every time I want to do something, not to mention the phone being off :/

So I did a nandroid restore to my last known state and now I get prompted for the unencrypt password. However, the password doesn't work. Probably because the password file was deleted, but the system and data partitions are still encrypted.

I've tried doing a full wipe in TWRP and flashing multiple ROMs. I've also tried ODIN flashing root66 and OTA JB 4.1.1 with no success. It still asks for the unencrypt password. I suspect the only way to fix this is to completely re-create the system and data partitions.

If anyone knows how to accomplish this, I'd be grateful because I have a soft brick right now (i.e. can't get past unencrypt password prompt with any ROM)

Reflash ROM. Or if needed, factory reset + reflash xo
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Fuze2009:
I have re-flashed multiple times trying the ROM I was on as well as several others without successes. They flash fine, but when the phone boots it prompts for an unencrypt password, which I don't have. I've gone as far as going a complete data wipe and when I flash again it prompts for a password.

I've tried countless factory resets without success. What is xo?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] forgot2wipe:
have you tried formatting the sdcard?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nib:
You might have to odin back to stock
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Fuze2009:
I tried everything:

- format SD card

- factory reset

- complete wipe with TWRP

- flashed multiple different ROMs (4.1.1 and 4.2.1)

- ODIN back to stock

- ODIN to root66

- holy water...

It still asks for an unencrpyt password - I'm ready to accidently destroy it so i can make use of the protection I pay for...

From what I'm able to gather from searching the webs, none of the above recreate the system and data partitions which are encrypted - but the encryption file is gone because of a flash or wipe or whatever and there is no way to unencrypt them now without recreating them. I'm probably wrong, but that's where I am...

Hello all, I have a Samsung Korea shw-m250L cdma version and I only use it for multimedia purposes (think ipod touch) sine I cannot use the phone functions of it in my country. I want to know the best rom for me that would maximize the multimedia performance of my device. No bloatwares, no funky custom animations or themes, and no need for gps. Only for music, movies, games and wifi. Battery life is not a concern as long as it is fast. Need help asap. Thanks!

Since you have a Korean model of the SGS II this thread might give you some help on getting started with custom roms.

personally any new Jelly Bean custom Rom based on Samsung stock firmware will be perfect as most of the media capabilities are built in with everything you need.

JB Roms are very fast and smooth so win win! try looking at the latest NeatRom Lite!

Hey guys im wondering if theres a rom that is exactly like the s3 or Note 2? Im talking about the way the OS looks and acts. icons, dial pad, txt, etc etc. Can you guys tell me one of this builds available that can be stable and smooth and looks like the s3?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
All TouchWiz JB ROMs will "look" like the GS3/Note 2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
Look at the ROMs OP [original Post or post 1 of any ROM thread] that will list how the ROM differs from stock and/or the adjustments made by the developer to the ROM and those ROMs that include S3 or Note based apps will state that. There are more and more doing it and you should be able to copy those same apps in to like ROMs [say you have a JB ROM and it has the app you want and another JB ROM you want to use does not] you could then copy the apk over and in a lot of cases it should work [it may not if the ROM is AOSP or AOKP those refer to different code bases and you may find some of the apps will like one or the other.

There are also threads in some cases if you search that offer up just the apps and state what they would work with.

As a last ditch you could download a Note or S3 ROM and open the zip [DONT FLASH IT TO YOUR DEVICE] and got in to system directory in zip go to apps and copy the apks you want from it and move them to the ROM you want to try them in. Worst comes to worst if it gives you issues use a root capable file manager and delete those apps that don't work.

OF COURSE, run appropriate backups as this really should not break your install, but on the totally off chance somehow it does it is better to be safe than sorry when just learning.

I was looking at the Embryo Roms and there are two of them one says 6.3 and the other 6.1.1 i saw in the 6.3 there are some issues with call eco and other stuff, and saw in the 6.1.1 that it has some of the features giving problems cause they are experimental, wich one do you guys think i should give it a try?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mookiexl:
I think you are referring to the flash bar as experimental and thats because multi-window has not been implemented. I use 6.1.1 and its beeen the best 4.1 Jelly bean rom so far from my experience. Or you can do what that guy above me said and have a much smoother experience.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ppcpirate:
newbie owner of an Evo LTE, and i'm wondering if the phone has signal issues. my wifi signal strength seems to vary from 0 bars to 4 bars (typically staying around 1 bar). I remember reading a while back ago that these bars mean nothing for data speed. anyways, I've ran some tests on speedtest app, and my wifi speed has fluctuated from as low as 100kbps to over 10mbps at different times at roughly the same location.

The time when i have the most issues is during skype, dropped calls, etc. I sometimes use a bluetooth adapter and sometimes don't and have had issues regardless. so my question is does the phone have a weak wifi antenna or something?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] laie1472:
No. Change your wifi settings to

"Always on" and set the frequency to 2.5ghz if you haven't already.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dindoliya:
Recently I tried installing CM11 (jelly bean) on my Atrix 4g. It did not go through successfully as I was getting the symlinks error with code 7.

Prior to installing this ROM, I had taken two backups, unfortunately both on the Internal SD drive.

When I try to restore using Android Recovery, I get an error in recovering system - after some time. However, at the end of the restore I am able to boot the phone and am able to make and receive calls. I can't seem to get the WiFi to work anymore. The system shows that I am on

System Version 4.5.141.MB860.ATT.en.US

Android version is 2.3.6

I suspect that the internal SD card does not have enough space to restore completely, thus causing these issues. Is there a way to delete an extra backup? I am not able to connect the phone to USB and get to the SD card. The phone says that the SD card is not there, however, Android Recovery is showing me the two backups. However, Android Recovery is not giving me an option to delete the extra backup to create space.

Please let me know my options.

Thanks

I have a problem rooting my Samsung Galaxy S2 phone running 4.3.6.....Im in Odin mode on my phone and running the exe. on my laptop and everytime I choose PDA and recovery-cmw-hercules.tar and hit start nothing happens. Help?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU CHOOSE TO DO WITH YOUR OWN DEVICE

Really?

Have you not read one of the hundreds of rooting guides FULLY before trying to root your phone?

BE SURE TO HAVE AT LEAST 75% BATTERY BEFORE INSTALLING ANY CUSTOM SOFTWARE FROM RECOVERY MENU yes you cold get away with less, but you are obviously new to this and I would not recommend you run the risk of losing power during a ROM flash as this could make your phone COMPLETELY unusable I SUGGEST you have it plugged in to the wall outlet charger as you run through this with your battery at 100% the first time.

Hold both vol keys in [push in the middle of the button] while powering it on and release vol keys when you see Samsung logo, this will take you to what you installed via Odin with the Hercules-cwm-blah file the ClockWork Mod Recovery.

Once in Clockwork Mod Recovery then you tap install from SDCard and then choose the SuperSU zip file [found on XDA and in many rooting guides] by tapping through the directories to where you saved it then the file itself once there

In Linux directories are listed different than Windows folders in that it is case sensitive [meaning you can have a folder named Android and a folder named android in the same location] This also means it lists directories [I am saying folders for Windows users but really it directories] differently when you are browsing for files [some file managers in Android actually "fix" this like ES File Manager if you would like them to list more like Windows with Download and download appearing right next to each other instead of Downloads being above then downloads showing up after the last Uppercase directory.

This may sound a little confusing as it is odd to explain in text see my example directory listing right below [sorry a lot of beginners always swear to me they created a directory, but they can't find it until this gets explained].

An example of how directories [folders] would be ordered in recovery if they had the names as listed [this can confuse beginners especially if they are more adjusted to Windows (and yes you can have a directory named Android AND a directory named android with the same overall location [say SDCard]) which can be nice for some folks as it gives you possibly double the number of folders [or a way to say distinguish between your unsorted downloads in downloads and keeping a sorted directory of verified downloads up higher in Downloads] stuff like that.

---EXAMPLE LINUX DIRECTORY LISTING---

Android

Download

Movies

Music

Stuff

Zebra

android

download

movies

stuff

tap to wipe cache

tap advanced

tap wipe dalvick cache

go back a menu

restart device [this boot can take roughly 5 min as it rebuilds dalvick cache PLEASE BE PATIENT AND WAIT AT LEAST 5 - 10 MIN.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McJesus15:
Hello ever so helpful XDA Community. I've been around these forums for a few months now and learned a lot. I currently am attempting to port/compile CyanogenMod 6 (Android 2.2 Froyo) to my old Kyocera M6000 Zio. I know the device is rather dead but it's my only phone. I've attempted to compile it. I get as far as syncing sources and starting my own github to learn to set up the device tree using vendor provided source code.

I could use some help porting, compiling, or at best a friendly dev compiling this for me as my only computer is an old Dell Inspiron 1525 (wish I could use my quad core Transformer Prime, it'd probably be faster) and my internet is rather slow. I'd be willing to set up the github and start the device tree for compilation. Hopefully one of you amazingly intelligent people (smarter than me at least :laugh:). I currently cannot donate to a dev for their help but I'll try and scrounge up some funds for a donation to a helpful dev. Thanks everyone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadowdude2:
Hey guys, I'm wondering if you could help me here. Recently my SGS3 battery is draining quicker than before. I think I used to squeeze around 24 hours average per day on the phone but now it went down to about 16 or 18. I followed all the rules of battery saving, closing background apps, uninstalling unused apps, turning off 3G and wifi when not needed etc. but the battery still drains quickly. Then I had a look at whats casuing it and 56% was mostly Media, with th included packages of Downloads, com.sec.android.providers.downloads, Download Manager, Media Storage and DRM Protected Content Storage. I tried closing this but it still comes back. I looked for answers around the net but they werent that helpful. Is there a way to fix this?

I just bought this Intex Aqua flash and its awesome with performance and display....it has all the configuration of high end devices..

i have rooted this device and im sharing and opening a new thread for development of this awesome device

first step; first and foremost install the correct ADB drivers to ur computer for intex aqua flash using pdanet software

http://www.topnotchtablets.com/installADBdriver

use the above link for installing ADB drivers

please exit the pdanet software from the system tray before start rooting because it will interfere with ADB

second step; root intex aqua flash using Root_script_by_Bin4ry_v17.zip

- Download and extract this zip file: http://www.mediafire.com/?wadbxnnxa8kf4b4

- Enable USB debugging on your intex aqua flash . (Go to Settings > Developer Options > Check mark “USB Debugging” and then tap OK button.

- Now connect your intex aqua flash to your computer via USB cable. The drivers should be installed automatically (or use Pdanet to install drivers)

- Go to the folder named “Root_script_by_Bin4ry_v17″ and run the “Runme.bat” file. This should open the command prompt.

- Choose the Normal mode by typing ‘1‘ and hit Enter button from your keyboard.

- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the intex aqua flash rooting process. Your intex aqua flash will reboot during the process after which Bin4ry will copy some files to your device.

- When your phone is back ON, you should find the superuser SU app in your app drawer. If it’s there, your intex aqua flash have been rooted!

if this post was usefull to you please press thanks button instead of telling thanks...

xda developers please consider this newly launched awesome mobile from INTEX.....:victory::victory::victory:

Well that depends if you can replace it yourself. The LCD assembly isn't that expensive, so you can get a Nexus 4 and fix your Gnex, and sell the latter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rrohanjs:
go for the newer phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
I have both the phones. So I can help you out here. Some time ago, when the Nexus 4 about to get released, my friend broke my Galaxy Nexus's screen. I knew the Nexus4 was about to get launched and knew about how beastly it was but I decided to get my screen fixed, it cost me about $111.46 to get it fixed officially from Samsung. I decided to get it fixed because I just LOVED my Gnex, I still do and also because it has an AMOLED display, I'm a fan. So, after that, someone gave me an offer to sell my Gnex for $349 (Exactly the price of the Nexus4) - This is an AWFULLY amazing price. But still, I decided to stick with it.

After some months, I got some work, earned $350 straight at once. Got the Nexus4.

Let me say, IT'S A BEAST. And honestly, the screen is not bad at all. At low brightness levels, It can actually compete well with AMOLED and I keep it at low all the time cuz it looks beautiful that way. The feel of the phone is AMAZING. Build quality - GREAT. (My volume key rattles a bit though).

So, right now, 90% of the time I use my Nexus4 and the other 10% - My Galaxy Nexus (That too when my Nexus4's battery dies)

You'll see a huge difference in battery life too.

So in my honest opinion, you should definitely go with the Nexus4 :)
