[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gamerslavco@hotmail.com:
Hello xda community, utter n00bie here, but I have done a lot of reading/searching/researching for quite some time.

Last night finally broke loose and rooted my AT&T i317 Note 2, flashed Scott's Clean ROM 1.5 SE, and Andrey's Perseus kernel for some overclocking.

I was hoping this would get fixed with the new Clean ROM, but it hasn't so that's why I need your guys help.

I searched the forum and found some other ppl having similar (yet different) issues but haven't really found a solution or cause for this issue on the forum.

Things that I've noticed revert back to defaults every time I reboot the phone:

SwiftKey reverts back to stock Samsung keyboard (Extremely annoying.. but I've found on forums that some ppl got around this by "freezing" the Samsung keyboard using Titanium... don't know if that's a solution or a temp fix =/ )

System Options -> Developer Options -> Limit background processes -> goes back to "Standard Limit" from "4 processes at most" I have found by keeping "4 processes at most" keeps my battery alive A LOT longer and does not negatively affect phone's stability. But every time I reboot the phone its annoying how this settings reverts back to the default "Standard Limit" which allows all apps to run in background.

My Camera and Video recorder shortcuts go back to defaults. In Camera Mode, there is an Option "Edit Shortcuts" and you can change Scene Mode, ISO, Metering...well all these go back to defaults when I reboot. Also very annoying.

Anybody know why this is happening? A way to fix this?

Thanks guys

ditto here..

i have the same issue with my droid charge.. camera "review" setting gets checked.. notification goes to "droid" default.. i have to resign in to outlook.. crap.. utter crap..

i haven't found any technical explanation yet.. i'm guessing a wipe and re-rom.

So I was rooted and running cynogenmod 10. I decided to go to root66 and I love it, but I noticed I no longer am rooted. I have supersu listed as an app but when I click on it it says "there is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"

I tried to boot into clockwordmod recovery and reflash it, but I know have stock android recovery. So I tried to download clockwordmod recovery through odin and it said pass but when I go into recovery it is still android recovery.

I d/l the toolkit but get an error using it.

I want to root to run wifi tether, what is the easiest way to get back root?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] WackyJoe:
I'm pretty sure you shouldn't be posting here with this type of problem...I see your post count so I can kind of figure out why now...shoot me a PM and I'll help you out. In the meantime, a root66 should solve your problem...are you using Odin correctly?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: Root

Try this:

First install a fresh copy of Superuser from the google play store. (free download)

Then install "TWRP recovery.

To install TWRP you need to install "GooManager" first which is a free download from the google play store.

Once installed, simply click the menu softkey on your phone and select "Install OpenRecoveryScript"

It's that easy.

Most likely you have a corrupted CWM in your phone which is missing files or some of the files in it are corrupt..

If GooManager pops up asking for root access and you allow it then TWRP recovery will fix your root issue I am sure.

Good Luck!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bobolinko:
Help me out here please,

I too post questions and hope to get answers to troubleshooting, as the OP did. Open the main page, and there is NO sub forum for root66 listed.

The OP needed an answer to his troubleshooting and thus posted it in Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting...

What is wrong, with that? Why does it have to be moved ? Is it NOT a question? Does the OP not need Help? Does the OP not have a question?

How is this query so different from others that is must be posted elsewhere, and Why?

It truly makes one hesitant on posting something and later not be able to find it because some almighty god has moved it..

I just don't understand. I must be wrong in thinking this was a forum one could seek to find help in a common interest. Trust me,

I am just totally confused. err... I couldn't find a confused sub forum to post this in. Sorry.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
1) I want to know what error you got from the toolkit.

2) root66 comes with root access. It's kind of the whole point.

I don't know what you did to end up with the mess you have now, but here is how you fix it. You need to back up your data, and wipe everything. Then Odin root66 if that is what you want. Then if you want CWM, download the one from my signature. If you leave auto reboot checked in Odin, you need to drop to recovery mode

before

the phone boots (when Odin reboots it), because there is a script that will overwrite custom recoveries when the phone boots. When you exit CWM, it will tell you to disable the stock recovery. Just choose yes and done.

I was flashing MeanBean to the newest version 3.09 from 3.07 i was currently on. I cleaned delvik and cache hell I even did the system and it sits in boot. So after many reflashed of 3.09 i finally decided to flash a different rom all together. That rom stays in boot. I'm S-on btw. I dont know what to do. I'm disabled and live alone so I need my phone. Thank you guys very much in advanced.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
Sounds like your TWRP may need to be upgraded to the latest. You will have to go to the teamwin website and update using fastboot since you can't boot into the rom. If you have a nandroid backup you should try to restore that first.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] exSD:
Or he can just flash the latest TWRP from recovery since he can get in there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] parasurfer1979:
I have a newer version ive been meaning to flash thats on my sd card. I have no naindroid backup. Please let me know the steps to installing the newest twrp from bootlaoder. Thank you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] parasurfer1979:
I need the newest twrp zip. All i can find are images for the newer version. the last .zip is the version im actually using 2.3.3.0 :(. If anyone has the newest one, please email it to me at parasurfer1979@gmail.com.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] exSD:
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jewel

Download 2.4.3.0 .img.

Fastboot flash it. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_fastboot_intro
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] parasurfer1979:
Ill try thank you. I was thinking I needed to be able to boot up to use that. Thank you. Hang tight as Ill update this asap. Note to self, Update twrp every new version that drops unless told to go back one version.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] exSD:
You just need to be able to get to the bootloader. So long as you have your PC/Linux set up with adb you can run the adb fastboot command and install the recovery then adb reboot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] parasurfer1979:
Ok I'm in fastboot and theres a usb unrecognize flag. I go to program manage and My HTC under Android phones has a "hazard". With the following after I open it...

This device cannot start. (Code 10)

A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed.

Im on Windows 8 btw. Im headed over to the HTC site to see if maybe there are updated drivers.

Any Ideas? Thank you guys for responding so expiditiously.

Here's a zip of 2.4.1.0 I found from the TWRP thread in the Original Android Dev board. Can't find a zip of the latest. This one should serve you well though.

Rename to PJ75IMG.zip and place in the root folder of your SDCARD, then boot to bootloader.

http://db.tt/lMZDGfOU
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] parasurfer1979:
GOD bless YOU...

I noticed before i red your post my HTC drivers were very old. version 1.07 lol. Thanks HTC for telling use we might want to update. And thank you for the twrp file. That helps big time. Keep you all Posted.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] parasurfer1979:
Im putting in sd card but when bootloader scans, its not finding. Is there a specific place i should be putting this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] exSD:
First, make sure you renamed it properly.

Then, make sure you're putting it in your external SD card, not your internal. If you don't have an external, then just place it in /sdcard
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] parasurfer1979:
You would be right!!!

It loaded. Gonna flas a rom now. Ill keep you posted. BRB in 5-10min.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] parasurfer1979:
When i bring up the bootloader it update twrp and when i select recovery, it reboots to a black screen. How do i pull out the file so it doesnt reinstall twrp every time. It wont open twrp so i can remove the zip. Could that zip file be bad?

Do i need to select clear storage in bootloader?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] parasurfer1979:
Does it take time for twrp to load? I dont remember my phone doing this on the last twrp install.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] exSD:
Just remove the SDCARD from the back and you won't have it try to install it every time.

It doesn't take long for TWRP to load really. After the installation, boot into the Recovery through the bootloader.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
If he is s-on I didn't think he could flash a recovery through the bootloader.:confused:

Update your drivers and try to install the recovery through fastboot.

You didn't need to make a new thread in the wrong section for help as people were already helping you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] parasurfer1979:
It indeedworked after removing sd card loading rom again now. I've been rooted so long that i forgot. ill update again shortly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] parasurfer1979:
Im still getting stuck in boot. I'll try another rom I use.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sb101:
Hi everyone

This may sound like an odd question but we need to block our daughter from accessing the Internet and playing games when she should be doing her schoolwork. We’ve tried blocking UPNP to stop her gaming but it hasn’t worked, and as she does need occasional Internet access totally blocking her (which I can easily do from our BT Homehub 2) isn’t really an option and doesn’t always work.

The problem with completely blocking her is that there’s an open unsecured wifi network nearby which she’s apparently hooking up to if we disconnect her from ours.

So, without taking her laptop off her (which she does actually need) is there any way we can block her from accessing the other network? If I knew who’s it was I’d advise them that it’s unsecured and ask them to fix it, but I don’t.

A colleague in work suggested setting up a wifi hotspot on an Android phone and giving it the same name as the other network (or even as ours), and as the signal from the phone would be stronger, her laptop would probably logon to the Android hotspot instead. As mobile data’s generally slower than wifi it may also be too slow for her gaming. I can’t try this as I don’t have an Android phone, but if it was likely to work I’d buy one - Carphone Warehouse have an Alcatel Android phone for about £30 which can be used as a hotspot.

Does anyone know if there’s any way of setting up a hotspot without actually having a connection to the Internet, via Android or otherwise?

It’s becoming a game of minds now between us and our daughter, and we sort of need to let her know we’re the parents, but without coming down too hard or her just yet.

Thanks.

Sam
[Galaxy Note II General] androidizen:
Hey all

I'm trying to capture games via an MHL adapter into a Roxio HDMI capture device. Sadly Samsung decided that all content output via the mhl has HDCP content flag turned on!

Which means Roxio wont capture the content, its a bit annoying that Samsung flag every bit of content via the cable and not just movies.

Does anyone know of or can a developer code up a hack to remove the flag or is it hardwired into the MHL dongle?

I've heard of a way to use a HDMI> DVI then DVI to HDMI to strip the flag but really don't want yet more hardware in the way.

Any thoughts or ideas appreciated folks though something tells me this roxio is going back and Ill have to get a dedicated hdmi capture card from blackmagic.. you know the ones hollywood uses and dosent have HDCP bonkers!

In my stock rom that is rooted I have many of the original apps frozen.

Is there any advantage to removing these apps vs freezing them. There is plenty of space on the system partition and I don't think that having the extra files in the system partition slows the phone down.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Not really, unless you need space.

Personally, I freeze apps I want to use later (like Maps) but uninstall everything else.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Uninstall apps you feel you would never use.. Examples are default live wallpapers cos I never use them.

Freeze you don't use normally but feel you may use once in a while... Examples here would be like maps.

I was wondering what would your opinion be on this for the SIII, its my first time with a contract, before i just traded phones, but i bought insurance just incase something happens and the duductible isnt all that bad! just wondering if they are a good company all together and worth it for my S3 incase it breaks!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ManiakalSealion:
For me I personally do not believe in the whole insurance/warranty services. Examples being Asurion (Insurance) and SquareTrade (Warranty). Also to me carrier warranties are also bull.

Asurion $7/month $99 Deductible

Covers damage/lost device

SquareTrade $7/month ($125 2 years) $99 Deductible

Only covers repairs not lost device.

Manufacturers Warranty

12 Months FREE covers any manufacturers defects

For me why would I pay $125-175 + $99 if anything happens to my phone. So I am looking at $2-300 dollars if anything breaks or I lose my device. For that price I will take the risk. If my screen breaks I will use $50 to replace myself or pay a shop $80 or a $99 deductible. Mechanical problems with antennae/physical buttons I will pay a shop $120 to fix it or a $99 deductible. Did I lose my phone on the beach? Guess I will have to buy a generation behind, and get a used device on craigslist for $2-300 or a $99 Deductible.

Either way you are paying 2 years of insurance, and a deductible. You are better off just saving your money, and buying a decent slim case like a UAG. Unless you plan on regularly losing your device, and running it over repeatedly (to which I would assume they limit) then do not fall for the scam of insurance for your cell phone.

The way I see it if it does not fail within the first year the manufacturer made it just fine, and with normal use my phone will last me just fine. I would rather keep my $300 on hand in worst case scenario than give my money to another company.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JCBiznatch:
Yeah if you're a pro that works for the usually rookie to android's world it wouldn't. Not everyone can do it all like you and I. That's why I recommend coverage . I've already replaced mine three times and haven't spent a penny... If you brick it on purpose they won't charge you anything... Just saying
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] daavy:
2 replacements a year

i believe assurion limits you to 2 replacements in a 12 month period...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bsannes:
I go with best buy and never had a problem . Yes I know I'm paying 10 bucks a month, but to me that's better than paying some shaddy phone repair shop. I already have used them one time since I got the phone because I some how bent one of the usb pens. The repair process was fast and easy only had to drop the phone off and pick it up .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] azndy:
Asurion limits you to 2 replacements for physical damage/theft/lost although you can get unlimited warranty replacements. IMO it's worth it for the warranty portion alone. If you're not worried about losing it or physically damaging it, just pay the $1.99 per month for the extended warranty. If something goes wrong with your phone after 12 months you're SOL whereas if you at least have the $1.99 you can get a cert-replacement.

I usually tell people to use either insurance or extended warranty for 20 months, after that you can drop it off your plan since at that point you'll be eligible for renewal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tateg:
I hard bricked my phone. Told asurion it was lost. Paid $99. Not rooting the replacement. If you play with ROMS it's worth the money.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] compir99:
If you're messing around with your phone a lot and somewhat of butterfingers like me :p, get insurance!

I cover all my electronics with SquareTrade; reliable and cheaper.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] speedybishi:
Personally I have signed up for the insurance, and have gotten good use of it as well. Yes, you can find a used on on CL or ebay, but you dont know the condition of it.

Plus they overnight you a new phone as soon as you make the claim, and are not tied to finding the best "deal" in short notice. Once you are out of contract and IF you keep your phone (dont upgrade right away), I might consider getting rid of the coverage.
