[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nilsonholger:
I know there exist already a number of threads regarding problems of Samsung's Kies (should be called "MIES" instead, german for "wretched" ;).

This question is not about installation or connection problems using Kies, quite the opposite, so here it goes.

1. got a Note 2 (international version, non LTE)

2. connected it to MacBook Pro (7.1, mid-2010) running latest Mountain Lion

3. MTP (I strongly suppose, might be legacy UMS though from what I've read) works flawlessly, internal and external (sd-card) memory show up

4. installed Kies (never seen it before, thought to give it a try, again, just MIES)

5. noticed right away that Note 2 storage did not show up anymore as mounted drives

6. uninstalled MIES crapware (once by simply removing the app, silly me, so again by using provided uninstaller)

7. storage still did not show

8. manually searched for everything Samsung and Kies related, removed it

9. storage STILL did not show

logs for MTP:

3/6/13 8:58:53.000 AM kernel[0]: AppleUSBCDCACMData: Version number - 4.1.22, Input buffers 8, Output buffers 16
3/6/13 8:58:53.000 AM kernel[0]: AppleUSBCDC: Version number - 4.1.22

When enabling camera mode (PTP), Aperture starts and asks about importing, device shows up as GT-N7100, images can be browsed (but not looked at, they all have the generic JPEG icon) and imported into the library (import works correctly, images are fine).

So, basically, has anybody any idea what could cause the (internal and external) storage to not show up anymore as it did before? Missing/misconfigured driver? I'm not interested in reinstalling OSX or using a time machine snapshot, as it's been a while.

I know my Note 2 has the correct settings, tested it on Windows where everything showed up, Linux also worked like a breeze (might be time again to jump ship on OSX...).
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
For odin and stuff use heimdall.

For file transfer and other stuff use airdroid.

I think it should work with mac as it is browser based. It has many functions. Go take a look at it.

Sent from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nilsonholger:
Yeah, I know about heimdall and airdroid, it's just that having the storage mounted is soooo much nicer, as you get to use command line tools, rsync for example...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
Airdroid as I told you about

Sent from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nilsonholger:
As far as I understand, Airdroid is browser based, so no native access...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
Yeah but you can transfer data at around 2 mbps. I transferred 1 gig file in like 8 minutes so it's not that bad. At least for mac.

Sent from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nilsonholger:
Woah, that actually is bad, 802.11n can be MUCH faster; this has NOTHING todo with a mac. Anyway, this is not about speed, it's about level of access. Tools like rsync (or any other sync tool) need file level access, so airdroid is completely and utterly useless. It's not about transferring a single file now and then, it's about syncing entire libraries.

Anyhow, should I figure out what's causing this, I will definitely post it here. Damn you, Kies.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] rahulnandwani:
Well I see every developer in his roms thread advises that it is preferable to flash his custom rom on stock rom to avoid bootloops due to different kernels cos that causes bootloop in most cases

And this guide includes format system so your boot. Img will be formatted and would avoid bootloop

So here is a procedure to install roms like that without flashing stock rom via odin

Disclaimer: Dont blame me if u get bootloop if u don't follow the steps correctly and if u follow correctly and get a bootloop flash stock via odin which u won't get most probably

(Confirmed working I flashed simplicity v5 on v4 and see if it works for u)

[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] iamareebjamal:
Nice

But

lol

What's the difference in it?

It's the same method we all use to flash ROMs
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] rahulnandwani:
It don't know tooooooooo

ROFL xD

But I think u won't get bootloop :p

Read below :p
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] rahulnandwani:
I guess the difference is that we clear data and cache via stock :p

xD
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] rahulnandwani:
And format system too

So we can flash roms having different kernels cos that causes bootloop in most cases

And I did get a bootloop while flashing v5 on v4 using this

So I think you all can try using the same procedure and flash custom roms
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Android-fany:
Instant wipe data is not needed. Only once in cwm wipe data is needed. Wipe data wipes the cache too. So no need of instant wipe data/cache and format data/cache :p
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] sanny5:
formating data cash and system is needed if u have a custom rom with a different kernel ... many roms have extra stuff like tweaked status bar (not just modded) ... so when u flash a rom normally they may chash (if stock is not flashed...) so the every step in the procedure ive given is important and needs to be followed in the exact order..

and op

i aked u to just give the purpose and link to my thread if u wanted to share and not copy paste the whole thing

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr@phite:
From all the stuff I have read from both Xperia Acro S and Xperia Z, I have but one question remaining. Will the current specs of the Acro S be sufficient for the technology 2-3 years from now? Is the Xperia Z a good investment? Obviously, xperia v is out of the picture.

I ask these questions for the reason that I intend to purchase a new phone and plan to keep it till God-knows-when. Your expertise and experiences will be highly appreciated.

to the mods,if this is the place to post this thread, I apologize.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x102x96x:
Xperia Z
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkw168:
I actually own both (went from Acro S to Z) and here is what I found:

Speed:

I decided to upgrade from Acro S for a quicker running unit and I did notice a huge difference in how smooth things will run now... browsing through photos, loading time of thumbnails was very quick.

Display:

I really did not notice much difference in quality of display, just a much bigger screen

Connection Speed:

Thou I can't get the LTE to work in my location, I'm still getting much quicker speeds compared to the Acro S

Interface:

I use an aftermarket launcher on mine, so not much I can share about that other then some of the "setting's button" location has moved and around and will take some getting used to

Battery:

Acro S was WAY better compared to the Z (from my experience so far, same amount of apps and stuff running compared to my Acro S)

General:

The Acro S was a comfortable size, and the Z is really big for my taste, but of course, I sucked it up and traded size for speed.

The Z has a much tougher screen (glass/plastic/ what ever it's made of) compared to the Acro S, my Acro S had light scratches (after the 1st week) on the center where I use my thumb to scroll up and down a lot.. screen protector is a must.

I want an FM radio/tuner. I just reROMed my phone to Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean, and lost the original FM radio app. I don't use mobile internet, so can't stream stations, so I need a regalar FM radio.

I searched Google Play, but they all seem to be streaming apps, except FM Two 0: which says it won't run on my phone as it doesn't have reckogised RDS hardware. FM Radio by Sutton Shin, doesn't do anything, just sits there saying FM Radio is being launched. Please wait...

Spirit FM Radio is a "pay for" app, which I don't have problem with, but would like to know if it actually works on the Gio.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] thepinho:
SPIRITFM works fine
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] alloydog:
Thanks, I'll give it a go.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] aphioner:
I tried all apps avaliable for Gio and SpiritFM is the only one that works other than the stock radio app.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Druidul:
I also tried lot's of radio apps, but the only one's i liked are TuneIn Radio Pro and XiiaLive. TuneIn seems to be the best with unlimited radio stations and new ones added periodically. If you want it free Xiia live iyour choice.

But i advice you to try TuneIn Radio Pro ( it gets lot's of local radio stations too).

[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
Hello,

I have One X CID 102, rooted, TWRP with XM-Kernel and I got an update for 3.18.401.1

How do I update? Just confirm the download (I am on stock ROM)?

Thanks
[HTC One X] M@c|-|oR:
Yes. Just confirm it. OTA will update on its own. It's a small package, too, so the update should take short time.
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
Yes but is it ok to do it when I have XM-Kernel, other recovery and root?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
You need stock htc kernel and recovery
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
Ok so how do I install the stock recovery?

The stock kernel I just flash it regulary right?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
You need the stock kernel and modules too ! But the stock recovery is flashed like any other recovery
[HTC One X] ArielElia95:
I have the stock .img, where do I get the modules?

Where do I get the stock recovery from?

And then I install the kernel and modules like installing XM-kernel, and after that I install the recovery, update, and then install TWRP and XM right?
[HTC One X] M@c|-|oR:
You don't need modules, as you are on stock ROM. Recovevery is available in xda (sorry, can't post you a link at the moment). Make sure it matches your base (it should be 3.14).

About the sequence - you are right.

However, the easiest way for you might the the nandroid. And I would recommend it to you.

Also, once you update, and before installing custom kernel/ROM, make one backup for yourself. It will make your life much easier in future.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
If you flashed the XM kernel + modules you need to put back the stock kernel AND the stock modules

I just moved to okinawa Japan and am curious if I can transfer my verizon note 2 over to Au or DOCOMO here on the island. I am unlocked running one of the clean roms. I've looked at the network differences and it seems it could be possible but I don't have experience to say for sure. I know the note 2 is available some places here but I'm not sure if there are hardware or other differences that would make mine incompatible. Any help is appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SuperDefcon5:

I'm hoping that the setting will be able to be set with their sim card. I just hope that I won't have to do a bunch of manual settings adjustments if it can work.

if you root it (since you did) it should be able to work

So before we start,i just want to confirm that this works on all phone models and you don't even need a rooted phone to do this..

Ok let's begin!

Requirements

:Phone (Common sense?)

:Advanced Mobile Care

:CPU Spy (Optional)

Instructions:

☺Download Advanced Mobile Care here

☺Run and press the Menu button>Preference

☺Navigate to Task Killer and set Auto Kill to Screen Off

☺And you are done!

To check the results,leave your phone overnight and check CPU Spy the next day and you should get something like this

Note:This will not work if

*AMC is killed by another task killer

Hello,

unfortunate my Htc One died so I need to take it back to Vodafone IE. Right now i have one of customs on board, of course i wanted to put the stock one but the only Voda roms i can see on endeavoru rom list is UK one. Will it be allright to install it? Or do i have to look for IE one? I maybe have it somewhere on hdd but im not sure will i find it.

Cheers
[HTC One X] M@c|-|oR:
Try finding out your CID (using CID getter from Play Store), and your main version, fastboot getvar version-main.

Post it here, me or somebody else will help you further.

You might as well flash nandroid of your stock ROM (once you know exactly which one).
[HTC One X] Yoshiktk:
Can i get the CID thru fastboot as well? Unfortunate the screen flickers to much when the phone is normally booted, works fine in recovery.

Is there a way to recognize nandroid? I have probably few on hdd but i dont remember which one can be from One.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Fastboot oem readcid

The only way you can confirm your nandroid is by restoring it, or checking the time and date
[HTC One X] Yoshiktk:
Is there any danger flashing nandroid from other device?
[HTC One X] M@c|-|oR:
The only one would be a bootloop, which could be solved. :)

I don't recommend doing it, though. But, once you know your cid and main version, it's very likely that you can find one around here.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
You can check here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1975140

If they have one for you, as soon as you got your cid and main
[HTC One X] Yoshiktk:
My CID is VODAP0001, had it in notes, as far i can see the rom is Vod UK. I'll try to check it and see what will happen.

Thanks You
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
In that case its more important that the main version matches instead of the cid.
[HTC One X] Yoshiktk:
When i get the version how to know which rom is proper one?
[HTC One X] M@c|-|oR:
The one that matches your main version. In your case, it will look probably something like x.xx.161.xx.

This "161" stands for UK. Then, find nandroid that matches it (try mine for VODAP102, they should match), flash it and go to service.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
edit : didn't saw page 2 :cool:
[HTC One X] Yoshiktk:
Yeap the version is 1.28.161.9.

Which way gonna be better now? Nandroid or RUU? Nandroid i have to do before relocking the phone? And RUU after?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
RUU is easier i guess !

http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_256488_signed.exe

It matches .... Charge the battery full first. Then relock the bootloader

Fastboot oem lock

Keep the phone in the bootloader and execute the ruu WITH admin rights.......

If it can't put your phone back to stock we must find a nandroid backup ;)
[HTC One X] M@c|-|oR:
Since I was upgrading from 2.17, I think nandroid is easier.

Read THIS, carefully. I used it to move from ICS custom ROM, to JB stock. I also posted the nandroid for 3.14 there, that you can use.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Whatever you guys want :D but to find a 1.28 stock backup is going to be tough i guess......at least there is none in the backup collection thread.

So you have 2 choices. Find your own stock nandroid backup, or install the ruu and update the phone all the way up to JB with official OTA's

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

He can not use a nandroid based on any higher one then 1.28 software.....he does not have the updated hboot ! The 3.14 nandroid will not even boot !!!
[HTC One X] Yoshiktk:
Ill try RUU and see what will happen.

Thanks a lot for a help.
[HTC One X] M@c|-|oR:
You are right. I forgot about this. :o
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
We all make mistakes, even i do on good days ! Don't worry.....this way we all learn from each other ;)
[HTC One X] Yoshiktk:
Lol me. Locked the phone, tried RUU just to see that battery is below 30%. Had to unlock it again. Its weird cause im almost sure that the battery was over 70%.

When i put the phone in to repair can i ask them to replace battery as well? It looks that this one is kinda deing already.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Lol you can ask them to replace everything.....but i don't know about the costs :p
[HTC One X] Yoshiktk:
I'll send the phone for the WiFi fault repair plus the screen problem as well. They should do it for free, at least i hope it :P Will ask about the battery and see the result.

Some Mobile Phones are (connected over InfraRed) Standard Modems for Windows XP.

Is it possible to use the XDA as modem for the PC ? I've found a way to connect mobil to the Internet in Germany fur just 3 Cent/min, but there is no modem driver for the XDA ...

Only a Screen_Connect to the XDA (some tools offer this function) is possible to enhance the usability.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Peter Poelman:
There's a way to use the XDA as a modem listed on this site. The method has a number of disadvantages, one being you need a serial cable.

Otherwise, wait for newer ROMs (> 3.16 ?) that will probably incorporate both IR and serial modem capabilities.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
You are not finding them because you didn't read the ROMs threads telling EXACTLY what these ROMs are based on. Most of the ROMs on the android development section are based on Touch wiz unless posted otherwise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
this, do some reading. theres probably only 1-2 that arent touchwiz roms in the development section.

4.1.2 stock rooted was posted today. so expect roms pretty soon

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shazbot:
There must be some kind of miscommunication going on here. The first two pages I looked through not one ROM was using the TouchWiz UI. They're all the stock android UI.

Maybe I'm not asking the right question?

I'm looking for the stock TouchWiz UI experience, but without all the bloat and other crap that comes with it stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
This is a good starting point.

I'm staring at the first page of the dev section (not original dev) and I see a minimum of eight TW rom threads. If I understand you correctly, you just want TW with as much stripped out as possible right? If so, try CleanRom Lite Edition. Seriously debloated TW JB 4.1.1 rom.

You say "stock android UI", but stock for us is stock TW. AOSP is not stock for this phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shazbot:
That was my problem! I was looking under original development. /facepalm

I was a bit confused about what kind of roms belonged where, even after reading the stickied thread in orig dev. But I understand now! :silly:

So thanks for the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Haha glad everyone could help! Basically, OG development is for those who built from source or developed something truly unique. Development is for the items that do not fit into that category. Typically all kernels and most AOSP roms will go into the OG dev section whereas mods, guides, and TW roms go into the dev section.
