[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aceownstheworld:
Alright, my skyrocket got the sticky power button issue. I went to take the screws out, and what do you know. They were all stripped already! This phone is refurbished that I got over the summer when my last Skyrocket just died out of nowhere and never turned back on. Since its obviously past the warranty date for refurb, and I don't feel like dishing out 200 bucks for insurance just to upgrade in a few months for the S4, I took the power button out without taking the phone apart. I knew I wouldn't get it back in since the hooks would break, and I can easily access the white button..

but.

I was wondering if there was any way I could rig something over the power button just to make it slightly more convenient to press instead of putting my nail inside the spot where the button used to be.

Any ideas? Thoughts? Or shall I just suck it up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] haloeight:
Unless I'm misunderstanding the problem, why not just replace the outer power button housing?

http://www.cellphonerepairshop.com/samsung-skyrocket-sgh-i727/

You can order it from here. I'm looking into this issue myself since I'm having problems with my power button sticking. Could crazy glue the outer button sleeve to the hooks if you meant those were broken.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aceownstheworld:
I can't really open the casing to put another power button in. The screws are too stripped.

Another question, does CM10.1 have volume wake toggle? I couldn't find it after I tore out my power button so I switched over to Embryo which while is a good rom... Is still touch wiz and doesn't suit me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
Smh..... You took out the power button & stripped the screws stop while you're behind bud take it apart somehow buy new screws use a dental pick and pure rubbing alcohol clean everything around that button because at your rate this thing won't last much longer use the dental pick to clean around the white button itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aceownstheworld:
You can get off this thread now. As my post said, I didn't strip them. But thanks for the advice!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] haloeight:
FWIW I tried the needle + rubbing alcohol tip to clean around the white power button as suggested but still seem to have the issue - phone is nearly unusable. The volume rocker wake function seems to be moved or missing in the nightly build of CM 10.1 I'm using.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] seanci:
I would personally modify a rubber case, glue a small piece of rubber to the power button on the case then just put the case on and it has two functions #1 you don't have an ugly power button #2 its functional.

Hi guys,*My phone shows SD card is damaged, try reformatting it. It is a transcend class 10 16 gb card. It was fine when I switched it off at night, but at morning it showed this. I tried re inserting, did not work. I was on jelly bean 4.2.1.(I9300XXUFMB3_I9300OJKFMB3_ILO).I wiped the whole thing and installed 4.1.2.(I9300XXEMB5_I9300OXAEMB5_BTU).Still the same. PC also do not recognize external sd card on connecting the phone via cable. About to try to connect via adapter. Should buy one..So guys why did this happen? I dont have any backup of my external sd card so I dont want to reformat it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
well, if the pc doesn't recognize it with the adapter, you'll have to format it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Personally I always format it in the phone, it is what the facility is there for, and remember to always unmount your card before removing, whether it be from phone/pc/card reader, ditto, if connected to pc via mtp/ptp.....Always unmount from the pc
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saiyanajay:
Pc doesnt recognize
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Have you tried formatting it in the phone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Google the SD formatting tool, download it and format the card. If that doesn't work then the card is toast and you'll need a new one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saiyanajay:
No, I haven't. I actually dont want to format it.

Oh dear, known issue with SanDisk ultra cards, causing them to fail. SanDisk have implemented a fix but are remaining tight lipped about details or when it was implemented so best of luck.

I have heard that they are accepting returns for faulty cards...I hope this is the case because my one has just started being problematic, un mounting every time the screen goes off, really annoyed with them over this

Mine was transcend.. Said SD card damaged, try reformatting it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
It was your replacement card I was oh dearing at.

Slaphead20, yeah SanDisk are replacing the cards no questions asked. But they are steadfastly ignoring calls for information on when this manufacturing fix was implemented, and replacement cards appear to be the same hardware revision as those that have been failing which doesn't instill confidence.

As we know BE2 only take effective in the build-in app:album and vedio.By unlocking your phone,you even lose it.So I wonder if we can use software to copy that effect and save it as a profile.Apply it on PC before transport pictures to phone.Then every picture can have "BE2".;)

Hey everyone,

My phone won't boot, go into recovery or go into download mode. I was on FrostyJB but was going to change to a 4.2 ROM, so I was going through my normal backup process. I set Titanium Backup to backup all apps and then left it for a while. When I came back later to pick up my phone I checked the lock screen for the time but did not unlock it. About 10 minutes after this I attempted to wake my phone, but it would not respond. I pulled the battery and attempted to reboot it. The soft keys lit up but the screen stayed black. When I try to put it into download mode it just vibrates occasionally. I was switching ROMs also due to the fact that my phone was filled up with "system data" and I needed the storage for my trip to Colorado in approximately 6 hours now. Any help is greatly appreciated and if its not too much trouble please respond quickly because I'd like to have a working phone during my trip.

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Barrett S:
Ok, so I've managed to connect it to Odin by pressing the buttons blindly (the screen never lit up). I flashed a new recovery and rebooted it but no cigar. I assume my screen is broken somehow. I guess I'll take it to a Tmo store when I get back from vacation, it's a shame I won't have it for the trip >.<
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Did you try pressing volume up + power + home key to get into recovery? Also if the soft keys lit up while trying to get into download mode then it may still be in download mode even though the screen is black. That can happen due to various things. To be sure I would connect it to a pc and see if Odin can identify it. If so then you can try flashing it back to stock and see if that makes any difference.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joeyrivGIN:
I just had very similar situation backing up system on TWRP (fell asleep and phone completely discharged while in recovery).

1)Open ODIN on PC,

2)Pull battery out of phone.

3)Connect phone to pc w/ usb

4) Put battery in

5) hold down volume, home button and power button

6) Took me immediately into download mode

..good luck
[Kindle Fire General] Socially Uncensored:
So for my very first post here on XDA, I though I'd contribute. I would have posted this in the developer forum or even as a reply to Kindle Fire Utility thread, but I got the standard "you're a noob" and can't post here message.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399889

Kindle Fire Utility tries to install its own drivers, but I got an interesting message claiming

"The current language is not supported by the device driver installation wizard"

And manually trying to install the driver through the hardware resource manager will tell you that either the driver file is corrupt and can not be installed or that the driver file is not designed for the device... ie... It's basically useless.

The solution was to install obtain adt-bundle-windows-x86x_64-20130219 which I either got from Amazon's developers page or Google Android's developers page. To be honest, I was trying to obtain so much information about my Amazon Kindle Fire (1st Generation) and how to unlock it, from so many places that I'm not 100% sure from which source I got the correct driver.

What I am sure about is the driver provided by Kindle Fire Utility didn't work for me. And I don't expect Amazon or Google to make it easy for people to root their devices. It seems as soon as people find away to do so.... These companies patch it up quickly.

So allow me to share with you the drivers that did allow me to install this on Windows 8 Pro 64bit (I do include the 32 bit drivers as well). ;)

In my case I was trying to "reset" an Amazon Kindle Demonstration Model. This is not to be confused with a Kindle in demo mode, but rather a demonstration unit which came with only a locked down version of Amazon's Rom. One which has not settings option or wifi option... ie... Clicking on either will tell you that you have a demonstration unit and there are no settings to play with.

I purchased mine on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/290870029962

You want to first install the Amazon Driver, then the USB Driver (in that order).

DRIVERS = http://www.sociallyuncensored.eu/_files_/amazon-usb-drivers.zip

From there I ran the tool and selected "Install Permanent Root with Superuser".

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399889

Once that was done I simply booted from the boot menu into the root and wiped all. This basically formated my kindle. Mounted the kindle and uploaded the update.zip file which you obtain from option 6, then 7. Proceeded to have it install. Upon rebooting my Kindle I had a fully functional Amazon Kindle Fire (1st Generation).

Not bad for my 1st post, eh?
[Kindle Fire General] Hawk600:
Thank you very much OP!

I was really having a hard time to install the drivers on a Windows 8 Pro 64bit PC and your driver worked beautifully!

As you have mentioned KFU drivers won't install on Win 8 64. I wasn't even getting the language error, it was just refusing to install the drivers.

Thanks again!!!
[Kindle Fire General] Socially Uncensored:
I had 1 person contact me on my site, where the drivers are hosted (SociallyUncensored.eu) and claimed that

"its best to use the drivers that come with the utility"

I would personally disagree as those never worked for me, even when following this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2179748

The closest I got it to working using that guide, with those original drives from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399889

Told me that it had no hardware id (code 10). I think I got another error as well, but I don't recall what it was.....

But if you're one of those people who "really" want to work at it.... I guess you could try the guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2179748 :eek:

The drivers I posted seem to work better. :cool:

Thank you for the crystal-clear instructions! They helped me installing my KF on my girlfrend's notebook.
[Kindle Fire General] JFenlon:
Thanks for this, I could do with the Windows 8 drivers for the same reason as you, to root a demo unit.

Can you check the zip file again though please? I'm getting that it is corrupt (tried with WinRAR and Windows Explorer):

"! E:\Downloads\JDownloader\amazon-usb-drivers.zip: CRC failed in amazon-usb-drivers\amazon\kindle_fire_usb_driver\KindleDrivers.exe. The file is corrupt"
[Kindle Fire General] myownself:
Same issue

I am getting the same issue. I used a few different zip managers, and all say that file is corrupted.
[Kindle Fire General] Aido:
How exactly do you install the various drivers?
[Kindle Fire General] AndroidSlave:
With a computer.
[Kindle Fire General] Aido:
That's VERY helpful.

How do you install the drivers on the computer?
[Kindle Fire General] AndroidSlave:
Sorry was being jokingly. I personally plugged it in, it asked me for driver location, and I directed it to the unzipped folder...
[Kindle Fire General] Socially Uncensored:
7zip is your friend

I got a few people telling me that the file is corrupt.

It's not. I've downloaded it and extracted this 3x (on different computers too). I had to format once and forgot to backup this and so my only source was the download.

Install 7zip - 7-zip.org

Download again.

Problem solved.

If its still corrupt, contact your ISP (internet service provider) or check your hardware... You're getting a poor download because your connection sucks. And that's outside my scope (willingness) to help.
[Kindle Fire General] Socially Uncensored:
My reply will not be as helpful....

If you don't know how to install drivers either using an install program or manually using the inf files .... Rooting a Kindle is not the first thing on your "to do list". Learn how to use drivers, before rooting devices.

I'm not trolling you and not trying not to be helpful, because you're trying to "fly" before you can even "crawl"

[Kindle Fire General] awidawad:
Everybody says they cannot install their drivers on Windows 8. I'm running Windows 8 Pro 64 bit and KFU installs the drivers just as it should after disabling driver signature enforcement. All I did to install mine was disable driver signature enforcement then reboot and run the install_drivers.bat and it successfully installed.
[Kindle Fire General] goldflame09:
i managed to use this get the drivers working without disabling that. was able to just download and install the drivers. thats it. not hard
[Kindle Fire General] BrooklynNY:
Lucky you. Could it be related to the pro edition? Or perhaps the kfu 9.9? I tried a couple of months ago, and I had trouble. (win8, kfu eirlier version)
[Kindle Fire General] AndroidSlave:
It has to do with disabling enforcement
[Kindle Fire General] BrooklynNY:
I took care of that first thing, and then had other obstacles.
[Kindle Fire General] El Ha$on:
+1 to this, it did take a while until figured it out but after disabled it worked like a charm.

What needs to be done on windows 8 is do an advanced restart to disable driver signature enforcement

You all should note that Windows 8.1 changed how to turn off driver enforcement. The instructions are different. Google the correct version of Windows, and you will find a walk through. It is convoluted.

I don't wanna sound mean but I don't really enforce this, this is just the way this site it.
