Hello All,

I have a collection of problems in my samsung galaxy gt-s7562 (s duos) android 4.0.4!

Firstly, i dont know why and how this happened but my phone shows my EFS folder to be empty ( through all kinds of browsers ) , but i have everything fine (IMEI , wifi , phone ) except the lockscreen. After seeing this, i took a backup of my efs folder using EFSpro backup and the backup file size was around 20kb. I have tried restoring to a previous nandroid backup and many other things but none helped.

Secondly, due to the first problem i tried restoring my phone to stock rom. i downloaded the file form sammobile, flashed it on my phone using ODINv3 1.85 by putting the file in the PDA section and allowing ODIN to do the rest. But before all of this i had taken a nandroid backup of the phone. I lost my root and cwm recovery. Moreover, i saw that my phone flashed a yellow screen of info on the home screen. I dont exactly remember if the sim was working at that time or not. So since i wanted to go back so i flashed the recovery file through odin with suto reboot and fresettime checked. Then i went into cwm recovery and did a restore from there. It had restored succesfully but then i saw that my phone was unable to receive a network signal!! It showed signal when the phone starts then it keeps on decreasing, turns off and on a couple of times and then it permanently turns off!! PLZ PLZ HELP !!!!!! ;-( ;-(

You posted link on I9070 thread, I came from there. Lot of users had similiar problem with I9070 when they changed GB for JB. Factory reset from recovery helped. Try that.

No i had tried factory reset from CWM recovery but it didnt help :(, 1 more thing i noticed : when i turn my mobile data off then restart the phone, the netwrk signal appears but it goes again as soon as i make a call or someone calls me.

Hi guys ,

Main Problem :

i really have been racking my brain here the lockscreen layout it really ****ed up the slider ring goes below screen and when edited the lock clock dimensions in dimens.xml(inside framework-res) the clock gets cut .

Inner Problem so i sorted it down to having a masive padding above the widget(lockscreen widget default clock) and need to remove this padding(as the widget has its own padding which is huge).

so well how do i do so...Themers ? Modders ?

PS Additional Problem trebuchet app icon layout sucks and is perfect in cm10 and cm9 how can i port it ...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silent assassin:
Hey All,

I am following xda for a long time, but have never been an active poster.

I installed CM10.1 nightlies last week and love it, but I came across an issue and I am not sure if it is caused by Stock or CM.

I am the main user of my Tab and my girlfriend is the second user. When she installs apps that I already installed, it doesn't download them again but it looks like it creates a virtual copy (which is good and looks normal from what I can find on the internet), but they don't show up in the app drawer.

All apps that I have and she installs on her part will not show up in the app drawer.

FYI, she can open them when going to the play store and clicking on installed apps, but this is ofcourse not the usual way :).

Is this a problem of CM10.1? Or is it a stock problem? Or am I something missing?

(My apologies if this isn't the correct place to post)

Thanks!

EDIT: Sry, after installing latest nightly, everything seems there...

You can sideload apps like market enabler or marketspoofer to hopefully be able to download straight from the app store, or you can just search for their apk files.

Or download them to your phone and grab the APK, copy it to the tablet and install. That's how I sideload. Barclaycard app works even when rooted.

Question

Hi!

I am a little bit confused. I flashed a pre-rooted I8190XXALJL firmware.

When I go to download mode,

on the bottom of FIRST screen is a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark.

When I press Volume Up, on the SECOND SCREEN is following text:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: GT-I8190

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

Please explain somebody, why the yellow triangle? What is the CBC count then? I'm now in official or in custom mode?

Need I run the Chainfire's Triangle Away tool or not?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
The yellow triangle have always been there. It's just a warning that a custom os can harm the function of the device.

official / custom can be fixed. Please read the Triangle away post by Chainfire on how to use it.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
Added Stock recovery.tar.md5 to use with Odin.

Triangle Away worked like charm on my Galaxy S3 mini. My phone couldn't get past the samsung logo and couldn't get into stock recovery no matter what, so after hours of trying and flashing stock roms, I flashed CWM via odin and I my phone was working again. Afterwards I have purchased Triangle Away and my phone is like new again :D Thanks Chanfire :good:
[Galaxy S III Mini General] somin.n:
Hi! Thanks for this thread and great app. I have one small question:)

My download mode screen looks now like this:

ODIN MODE

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

Will this info after using triangleaway looks exactly same or will be there some differencies?

Thanks for reply and sorry for this noob question.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
No need for you to use at that state. This is only to get your flashcounter back to NO in case you've flashed something with Odin that made your custom binary counter increase.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] somin.n:

[Galaxy S III Mini General] dariofreud:
Hi all and thanks for the great support in this great and unique forum :good:

I have a question and i think this might be the right thread that can give me answer.

I have a i8190 (of course :laugh:) from about 10 days and, because of my past, i want to root my phone, but, searching around, i've read about the possibility to turn back the warranty.

This is my question: if i root my phone, install a CWM or other, what should i do to get back warranty? As for i've read, but i think i'm confused, i need to flash the original firmware (that i can find in sammy right?) and use triangle away to put the counter to zero. Is this right?

I'm sorry if the answer is in this two threads, but i'm pretty confused about the steps and i really want to know if there is the real possibility to get back the warranty for some accidents...

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
Yes you can. I think the right order to do this would be:

1. Flash stock recovery with odin or custom recovery.

2. Reset counter with triangle away.

3. Unroot from SuperSu settings.

4. Flash stock firmware.

5. Make factory reset.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] exam654:
Hi I have a question :

I rooted my phone in order to remove some of the annoying samsung apps.

Then I used the minitool kit to unroot my phone (I had to install CWM), and then I reinstalled the stock revovery.

I would like now set my counter to 0 using triangle away (thanks for the tutorial btw)

According to it, after I used triangle away, I have to use flash a stock firmware to unroot my phone.

If I flash a stock firmware, will it reinstal all the annoying apps I deleted ?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
Thanks!

Yes, if you flash new firmware all apps will be there again. What you can do is to make a full unroot from the settings in supersu app.

That should leave you where you are now without having to flash back whole fw, but I think your systemstatus will still be custom.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] exam654:
Ok thanks for your answer. So basically the idea of using Triangle peak is only if you need to send back your phone to samsung
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
Yeah pretty much. With triangle away, stock recovery, and unrooted stock fw your status will be official, but without triangle away there's no chance to ever get official status back again if you have a custom binary count of more than zero, no matter what you do.

[Galaxy S III Mini General] k6?:
You can't keep official with custom recovery as far as I know?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
Yes it's possible but you'll need to be on stock recovery while you factory reset. After that you can flash cwm with rommanager without losing official status.

[Galaxy S III Mini General] LukBoy99:

[Galaxy S III Mini General] LukBoy99:
K waiting....
[Galaxy S III Mini General] tys0n:
Ok I had a quick look at it and it seem to even easier as I thought.

First use triangle away to reset your counter, then tick "allow tracker to run" and "system modified workaround" in triangle away settings.

Reboot device. Supersu will be bisabled for a few minutes when tracker runs and your status will become official.

Now you can uninstall triangle away. On next reboot your systemstatus will still be official :)

Let me know how it worked, but it worked for me. Not even needed to flash stock recovery first.

System Status back to OFFICIAL

To restore system status to official you'll need to take a few more steps.
First use triangle away to reset your counter, then tick "allow tracker to run" and "system modified workaround" in triangle away settings.
Reboot device. Supersu will be bisabled for a few minutes when tracker runs and your status will become official.
Now you can uninstall triangle away. On next reboot your systemstatus will still be official, but of course it won't work with a custom kernel or custom rom.
If everything went well you should now have your binary count at 0, and a system status that says official.

Where can I download this?

Basic steps?

Back to Stock Recovery

Use this "i8190_stock_recovery.tar.md5". <<---This one doesn't increase custom binary count.
Thanks to Benz0nator, here is also a CWM flashable stock recovery.

How to use this?

Via Odin?

What option should I load this file?

Great guide. I'm trying to reset binary / flash to stock drivers on my s3 mini so I can get OTA updates working but I'm running into a problem AFTER using triangle away to reset the binary count. It seems to work perfectly (followed your directions exactly, enabled tracker/etc and rebooted) and device status is now on official.

The problem I have is i can't get the next step to work. Am I supposed to immediately flash the stock recovery.tar? When I do that it gets counted as a custom binary. I also tried going in reverse order like someone listed in the thread (flash stock-->root-->reset binary-->stock firmware) and also results in binary count(s).

Here's the root method I am using: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2030282

Could this be the problem? Also could it be an issue with flashing different PDA/CSC? I've been trying to root, reset, stock recovery, and flash the most recent UK BTU firmware from sammobile.

I appreciate any help.
