[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osmorgan:
hi all, i had a few problems with my latest install of CM Nightly, so i decided to wipe everything and start over. i booted into recovery and formatted EVERYTHING. Now i cant seem to boot/reinstal CM. I have droid explorer which i can boot up, it shows me the internal directories of my phone, i can copy over cm-10.1-20130306-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip. But when i look in the recovery menu i chose "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from internal sdcard" but it says "no files found"

can anyone help me with this please??

Thanks!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] armedmetallica:
I am on Stock ROM ... when I got the phone almost a year ago, I rooted it, and eventually went to GB, and didn't root it (only rooted back then for VPN access).

Yesterday, midday, phone vibrated about 3 or 4 times, and then randomly rebooted. Screen wasn't even on. I wasn't using it.

Last night, I was listening to an audiobook, and it started vibrating again. about once a second. This went on for about a minute, so I pulled the battery. Now, no matter what I do, it wont turn back on. If I plug it in to the charger, I get virbration. When I take the battery out, while it's on the charger and put it back in, the charging screen comes up, and immediately disappers. Occasionally, I am able to see the SAMSUNG logo (two of them) and it fades.

I haven't done anything "unofficial" in the last day or so..I did update a couple of apps right out of the Play Store, and for the first time, ever started using Google Play Music and Samsung "Music Player" app. Neither of which should have been able to fry my device! One thing that I noticed is that it was pretty hot when it started vibrating.

Should I mess with jigs and Odin etc, or just warranty it out? I'm afraid to void the warranty trying to fix it...?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Your power button is stuck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] armedmetallica:
thanks - but i don't think that's it. i hear it clicking... how can i know for sure or fix ?

I called ATT, they are sending a warranty replacement. I think something related to battery... if i leave it on the charger long enough, I can get the Samsung logo to light up. after a while, it stops doing that. Also, the battery was pretty hot when I pulled it. Going to stop by a ATT store to see if they would be willing ot let me check my batt on a display phone, or their batt on my phone - so I can stop the warranty shipment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Haven't heard of a stuck power button causing the heat issue as you describe it, although I suppose it's possible.

But I'm leaning toward the battery condition as well.

My opinion on the exchange is to take the warranty phone if you have any questions about damage being done too the device.

And although it's nearly impossible to tell without diagnostic equipment and such, I'd be willing to say that damage is likely with an excessive heat condition .

Your call of course .....g

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] govindadas:
So I have been playing with AOSP. I'm interested in toggling the CRT / electron beam screen off animation. After some research, I thought that I could do this in config.xml which gets compiled into framework-res.apk (location in source: /frameworks/base/core/res/values/config.xml).

This is what is is by default:

<!-- If this is true, the screen will fade off. -->
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>

I've compiled and flashed it with both true and false and didn't notice any changes in the screen off animation.

I found hints elsewhere that the CRT / electron beam animation was controlled by PowerManagerService.java which gets compiled as a part of services.jar, I believe. In /frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/PowerManagerService.java, I noticed a few lines:

175:
// animate screen lights in PowerManager (as opposed to SurfaceFlinger)
boolean mAnimateScreenLights = true;

634:
mAnimateScreenLights = resources.getBoolean(
com.android.internal.R.bool.config_animateScreenLights);
2282:
if (turningOff && !mHeadless && !mAnimateScreenLights) {
int mode = mScreenOffReason == OFF_BECAUSE_OF_PROX_SENSOR
? 0 : mAnimationSetting;
if (mDebugLightAnimation) {
Slog.v(TAG, "Doing power-off anim, mode=" + mode);
}
mScreenBrightnessHandler.obtainMessage(ANIMATE_POWER_OFF, mode, 0)
.sendToTarget();
}

So it seems like it is set to true by default, but it definitely seems to call the value of config_animateScreenLights. However, the line 2282 code seems to be turning off due to proxy sensor, so I don't know if it applies when just timing out or pressing the power button.

I'm fairly a noob and java (I code in MatLab), so any hints or guesstimations would be appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] govindadas:
ok, so the code I was looking at above has nothing to do with the electron beam animation, I think. I don't know what it does. But at least in 4.1.1_r6.1, the electron beam animation is in SurfaceFlinger.cpp (frameworks/native/surfaces). In later iterations of android, it will be in PowerManagerService.java.

I am pretty incompetent when it comes to java and c++, but by commenting out lines 1886-2056 in SurfaceFlinger.cpp I was able to stop the electron beam animation.. basically making the function:"status_t SurfaceFlinger::electronBeamOffAnimationImplLocked()" --- is it actually a function??? --- simply "return NO_ERROR;" without all the animation code in between.

This is probably one of the sloppiest ways to achieve this end...

I tried simply putting "status_t result = PERMISSION_DENIED;" like it is in "status_t SurfaceFlinger::electronBeamOnAnimationImplLocked(), since there is no electron beam on animation by default (and had to remove status_t from line 1894, but that didn't seem to do anything. I really have no idea what the syntax means though...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mstrmscn:
This is the first time this has happened on my phone since getting it in July. I'm rooted, Freeza's stock (official) MB1, stock kernel, no tweaks, no apps installed that force run in the background, auto-sync is off, GPS is off, I am connected to WIFI 100% at my home, I don't know what more to add, lol.

Anyway, I unplugged my phone, checked the battery monitor thing that's built into my phone and saw the media server just constantly running. I don't know what could be causing this.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: Quick update. I restarted my phone at 12:06 PM and I'm going to do some things before checking the stats again, giving Better Battery Stats a little time to monitor and what-not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mstrmscn:
Update:

I checked the battery monitor thing and better battery stats at 12;44 (I don't remember the time in the screenshots, lol). It appears to be back to normal. What is shown in the new pictures, I believe, is the initial scan whenever the phone starts back up from either a reboot or from being powered down.

Download Rescan Media for root users (will kill that). Go into App manager, Running, Look for Downloads go in and Clear data, and Force Stop) Will also kill that off as well. Media bug is rather common, those are some easy ways to squish it preventing it from eating yer battery. :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] pete2you:
Anyone have any clues on a way to access the databases folder in the root directory of the xda?

The main reason for this is to access the text message db, with a view to create a nice litttle app to store your text messages, not back them up, etc..but to be able to store them in an access db or whatever. They are only visible using the cradle (To my knowledge) and accessing via 'mobile device' but although you can see the databases, you can't actually access them in any way.

Any ideas fellas?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snowhiter:
1st post and I've been searching here for 2 days to find answers to continual Galaxy S (European) problems before typing this.

The brief history was that I had a stock Froyo and upgraded thru Kies to Gingerbread - that was fine but wanted to Root backup and get Jelly bean with Cyanogen 10.1. Managed to do all that - no idea how but stupidly because I didn't like the look of the text message features - attempted to back track to an earlier version. Bad Move...

I've now spent 16 hours continual on this after d/loading far too many files. A lot of links are broken and being a total noob in the world of rooting and roms somehow managed to wipe everything from my phone including backups and some purchased CWMod tools.

Finally got original Froyo back thru http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29331775#post29331775

Google won't let me sign in on the phone - incorrect pass etc which is driving me mad as I cannot d/load the apps I had - (Scratch that - https://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&topic=1056283&answer=185833 that ones sorted now

If anyone can help me get to gingerbread / ics / or jellybean or point me in the correct direction without hours of bootlooping it would be greatly appreciated

Ideally I just want a rooted phone with CWM and a S2 or S3 look

tl:dr

Kies won't work - got a Stone Age phone

I've got my mind set on jellybomb and would like to flash that coming from stock. Will dirty flash work? First time flashing a custom rom on this phone. Will I be able to backup and restore my apps and data using titanium backup? Going to probably use mybackup to backup everything else. Also what is your experience with jellybomb? Will there be future updates? Still new to this forum and this phone. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
I've flashed a bunch of ROMs on my phone and I gotta say dirty flashing is trouble. Yes, when reading through the posts, you can always find someone who has dirty-flashed without any problems, but there is a reason why the first debugging recommendation is always "do a clean (fresh) flash." I've heard of many problems with dirty flashing, and if you plan on going from 4.1.2 to 4.2.1 or 4.2.2, dirty flashing is completely out of the question.

As far as Titanium Backup and the other options... I always use Titanium Backup to do all of the dirty work for me (including SMS/MMS messages, phone logs, wifi access points, etc.). My only recommendation would be to not restore the system files (RED in Titanium Backup), as different ROMs might deal with system apps in different ways.

Hope this helps!

OK thanks. I guess I'll have to go home and play with it some more. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by moving files though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skwerl23:
Hey guys, I wrote a post on how to fix this a while back, but I’m not sure on where it is at the moment. (how to fix "missing files after flashing")

Anyhow go into a root file explorer ... file manager should do. (just enable root) (i prefer 'root explorer')

Go to the root folder (as high as you can go)

Go into data

Go into media

Touch wiz (4.1.x) stores all your stuff in /data/media/

Android 4.2.2 stores all your stuff in /data/media/0/

The easy fix is to copy all files from /data/media/ to /data/media/0/

I would make backups just in case, and or copy all files THEN delete the old ones. If you go into the official CM10 forum here, you’ll notice they have a flashable zip that "reverts 4.2.2 to 4.1.1" basically it just copies all /data/media/0/ to /data/media/

The only file that is needed in there is the /0 folder, the reason for this is PROFILES if you use multiple profiles (users) you’ll have /1 /2 etc...

There might be a legacy folder etc... But you don’t need those really. They are just for some caching; worst you’ll loose is unimportant cache files.
