Hey guys

A buddy of mine has his s3 stuck at Samsung boot logo it won't do anything can't get into safe mode or anything. His phone is not rooted and he needs to recovery some important business text from the phone . I am wondering is there anyway to install a custom recovery and nandroid his device then restore it with his data. Or if there is anyway to get it. To device to recovery the data? I know you can wipe it but he can't have that happen with the data

Thanks in advice

PS: I looked already and only found ways to wipe to recovery so far

Re: [Q&a] s3 stuck at Samsung logo

you should be able to get into download mode. pull the battery, replace it, and volume down + home + power button.

if you can get to that, shut the phone down and download Odin here, install drivers from here if you need to, put the phone in download mode, and flash this in the pda section.

if you successfully get to that point, reboot into recovery using volume up + home + power, and then you should go to backup and restore using the volume up/down buttons and make a backup. it doesn't matter if you choose internal or external unless you don't have space on one of them. once it's done backing up, go to wipe data/factory reset and wipe. then go back to backup and restore and select advanced restore and only restore /data.

this should achieve what you want. hopefully it boots. if it doesn't, wipe data/factory reset again and boot. if it boots, there's most likely a problem with an app installed. I don't know what to tell you if that's the case.

if this worked, use this in Odin to go back to stock recovery if the phone is on DLK3.

hopefully I got everything right! it's 4 in the morning for me, if anyone sees a mistake let me know!

Re: [Q&a] s3 stuck at Samsung logo

Thanks for the info.

I ended up putting custom recovery twrp and using it to do a full back up, then wipe and doing a restore, it didn't work still had the same problem, but I figure it has to be one of the 5 partitions restored from backup? I so one by one I flash each partition to see where the problem was.

I tried different roms, but the problem only happen right after I restore the data file

It turn out to be the data files In the data partition, soon as I restore that it would do the same thing. I am so I ended up going to file manager in the twrp file manager and Manually copying the log files for the text and phone number I was not able to find the call log file but the other two was easy to get plus was able to get most of his media data that was on the Phone saved too. I copy the log into the new flash rom and it worked Al lhis txt messages are saved! I

Guys,

Recently in March there were 2 releases by quarx and posted by sepp.

what are the diffrences between those 2.

Thanks in advance for answer

second question is about possibility to instal rom designated for defy to galaxy SL (i9003). It seems that those devices has very simmilar hardware.

Thanks in advance
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intemptesta:
Don't know about the first question, but for the later obviously no.

You can't use defy/defy+'s rom on any other hardwares, no matter how simillar they were & vice versa.

Even a small point can make the rom unusable or at least works incorrectly on other devices.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr69:
Hi guys my girlfriend bought a LG Viper 4G LTE and she told me to root it to remove the sprint crap, so I was wondering if anyone has already done this and if yes, can they tell me how to s-off + root + custom recovery + and probably custom ROM.

If anyone can help, please I'll appreciate it. Since I searched here for that phone and is not even listed.

The phone is running android 4.0.4, is this ICS or Jelly bean?

I do not know how to get into fast boot boot loader cause I don't think it is POWER + VOL DOWN.

Thanks in advanced

Have a nice day

Im trying to root mine right now and can't seem to get it to work, I've tried Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v21 and LG-Viper-ICS-Root-tool with no luck. If i get it to run all the way though and reboot it still comes up without root and with no super user. I am starting to think I may have to find a way to downgrade it and root from there.....Did you ever have any luck?

I've downgraded and rooted so far and its working, I may look for a rom before i upgrade again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mor Hedroom:
Confirmed above!

I can confirm that the above will work. I have a refurbished Viper from Sprint that I got because my 3G radio quit sending. It would receive great, but couldn't send any MMS or upload anything while on 3G. 4G was great, just no joy on 3G. Strangest thing. Anyway, got the phone replaced, and on the replacement was of course the dreaded unrooted ZVK. Gotta have my root back...

So I decided to try all this stuff out, and It worked.

To add a little further info, if you've got a relatively bare install of Windows, especially XP, you might need BOTH the VisualC++ Runtime Redistributables from 2010 (mentioned in the above thread) AND the one from 2008! If you don't have both, the LG FlashTool will not run. You can find them on Microsoft's site.

Once the flash tool has successfully downgraded your Viper, make sure you perform a factory reset, as indicated in the instructions for the FlashTool. Then use the "Activate" app to get your 3G/4G on. After that, set up your Google account under "Accounts and Sync" in "Settings".

I did the whole operation completely on a linux system, using a virtual machine running Windows XP for the FlashTool, then the bash script from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43530152&postcount=3253 with the v.31 rooting tool from the original post in that thread.

I had to edit the script in a very minor way, as was pointed out by its author, so it could find my adb command. I just placed the path to that command in the line that said:

for test_adb in "adb" "stuff/adb"

in the place of the first "adb", so I got:

for test_adb in "/home/user/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb" "stuff/adb"

Make sure to replace "user" with your username, without the quotes.

Then I stuck the script in the same folder as the runme.bat file. After the script and root tool had done their work, my phone had rebooted a total of three times, and I had a perfectly functional Superuser app!

Huge thanks to LoveMyAndroid2010 in the post linked above. Great script - some love for linux!

Now to get RootKeeper and upgrade back to ZVK...

Realy need the XDA type - the Provider (ie ATT, Tmobile, etc) - the Quality you have experienced and any comments you might have please

Peace
[Xperia Z General] Teknohtc:
My thoughts so far:

(5days)

PROS:

-WATER/DUST RESISTANT NEED I SAY MORE!!! :D

-Excellent Build! very nice looking and thin :D

-Wifi is really good (i live in an old house and on the third floor still get good wifi strength)

-5" Screen is really good! When you get great HD wallpapers (zedge or backgrounds HD) it really pops.

-Micro SD slot BIG + :D (takes 64GB when formatted)

-Good ringtones and notifications

-Strong vibration

-Nice U.I (some lag but switched to NOVA Laucher)

-When combined with Nova Launcher this phone is BEAST!!! :D

-Sounds nice with headphones on (not as good as my S3 w/ PowerAMP)

-GAMES ARE AWESOME!!! :D (Sleepy jack,Tapped out Simpsons,Dark Night)

-Thick lanyard hole (ima wear this as a chain lol)

CONS:

-Walkman doesn't read folders it just puts all the albums into one folder

-Lockscreen either you have a swipe OR lock can't have both :(

-Non removable battery (trade off)

-Can't choose lockscreen wallpaper when pattern is chosen (only in swipe) :(

-Album puts everything in one folder (i use Quickpic)

-Sony services run in the background (may contribute to battery drainage)

-Blacks are no where as good as Samsung's SAMOLED (on the flip side higher pixel density and colors that pop)

-Speaker on the side WHY!!! :(

-Android 4.1.2

NEUTRAL:

-Battery has been good so far, time will tell (DS battery saver on slumberer mode + Stamina ON = 3hrs 50mins screentime and 11hrs 30mins for the day 100%-1%)

-Camera first impressions OK need more time with the camera

-Gets dirty really fast

*I then used the screen protectors that came with the XZ and doesn't get dirty with lint anymore just finger prints but, i ordered these protectors: http://dx-box.com/imak-anti-fingerprint-layer-screen-protector-for-sony-xperia-z.html

-PowerAMP doesn't sound as good as Walkman :( (would rather use Walkman for it's sound but, no folders means a pain to search especially, when you got 45GB worth of music)

*PowerAMP has an option to use the phone's equalizer this is how: Settings>Audio>Advanced Tweaks>MusicFX. Go back to Tone/Vol menu screen you will see the MusicFX toggle on the top left. Long press for options.

Though it has been only 5 days days since i got the phone, overall, I am very happy with this phone! Most of the CONS are software based and in time there would be MOD's,hacks,etc to fix them.Extremely well built phone with a premium feel that's what i wanted! Although, there is one thing i wanted on this phone,a removable battery, but, when you get a water/dust resistant smartphone with a MicroSD slot, it's a sacrifice that i will gladly live with! :D Still have my S3 got a plan to swap for a s4 when it comes out.Will play with the XZ and s4 and will choose which one to sell. :D
[Xperia Z General] graffus:
walkman do read folders! I uploaded my playlists from itunes via Bridge and found playlist in the walkman :)

and you can change the lockscreen image :)

Speaker on the side isn't good when holding but is good when the phone is on the table since you can listen and hear very well (lot better than xperia s).
[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
nice review.

The walkman app uses ID3 taggs to create albums. There is even an option to create ID3 tags, don't know if it uses folder names dough.

Album app uses folders if you click on the "my albums" tab you will see the folders (didn't see it at first as well)
[Xperia Z General] biffsmash:
I find most of that to mirror my use of the Z. The screen isn't quite as good as the HTC One or the Nexus 4 but it is very very good and razor sharp.

As for the walkman player, I find it much worse quality and volume to poweramp so I use poweramp.

The pattern lock is excellent because it allows you to have your live wallpaper on the lock screen which is awesome for a change :)

With regards to the removeable battery, every single phone i've ever used which has that, creaked and squeeked due to the back cover coming on and off so i'm not missing the squeeking at all.
[Xperia Z General] bollywood69:
Which Android phone can you actually have both on? Or which app?
[Xperia Z General] Teknohtc:
-Ok,going to try again with the walkman.

-You can change the lockscreen wallpaper but, only when it's in swipe mode. If you have it on pattern as security you can't change your wallpaper. Pretty much the wallpaper you choose as your homescreen is your lockscreen wallpaper.

-Good point lol :D
[Xperia Z General] Teknohtc:
Thanks

lol did see that tab :p
[Xperia Z General] Teknohtc:
-Yea the screen's contrast isn't as good and my SGS3 deep blacks that i like but w/e makes up for it's 1080p and high pixel density! :D

-Really, will try that out!

-True but, having an optional battery would be kick ass! I guess ill improvise get a powerpack. :D

[Xperia Z General] xyz007:
-Blacks are no where as good as Samsung's SAMOLED (on the flip side higher pixel density and colors that pop)

Really? You see eye-poping colours? Where? Can You post some examples with some other mid range device...? :D

But, I gave up on Sony fans... No wonder Sony will never produce even an average display with such fanatical consumer background... They really don't need to, cause you will cherish anything as long as it os Sony made. It's not even their panel in XZ. I liked Sony (TV and HX5V, old camcorder...) a lot, but lately after being insulted here for stating the obvious, the people, not the Sony, give me sheepish impressions that I don't wish to be a part of...

[Xperia Z General] xyz007:
1st: Hope of constructive debate, so that people who spend half of months salary on this phone (650eur) get better info and don't blindly thrust posts that say XZ has eye popping colours.

2nd: It was just a question about where the hell OP sees eye popping colours... especially since he actually compared them to amoled.

3rd: I liked the phone, that was my motive for reading a lot about this phone, but as verge review said, it looks better with screen off as did XT.
[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
I really don't understand the 'if I don't like it every one that does like it must be a fan boy' argument. More than 90% of the reviews like the phone including the screen most said it was/is the best on the market. If you don't like it that okay but really don't understand the hatred against people that like the phone.

To be clear I personally don't mind anyone saying that they don't like the screen or anything else about the phone, but it gets a bit old especially since some people make it out like the creepiest screen ever and than continue to ridicule any one that likes it. To me and many others it is a beautiful made fast phone with a nice big crisp screen.
[Xperia Z General] Sckank:
Couldn't agree more. Was looking at it at the local shop. I have a HTC One X right now. The quality of the Z feels insane! The screen also is very very good, and it is really fast. Was thinking to wait for the HTC One but the premium feel of the Z is hard to resist.
[Xperia Z General] Teknohtc:
1st: I said the blacks on my Samsung are way better but, the colors and pixel density (440ppi) make up for that the only thing i also wish was the contrast was better but, i don't mind it.

2nd:I see them in Games(Tapped out simpsons,sleeping jack etc),movies(avatar,anime etc) and pictures(flickr) pixel density and 1080p helps allot!

3rd: I read that review and he said that the viewing angles are bad.....i look at my phone straight not at a angle lol and the angles aren't bad. It's true sony could have done better with the contrast on the display but,it's IMO better in colors than the sgs3 screen. In all honesty i like it more for it's design and ergonomics.

-SD card quicky accessible,water/dust resistance,wicked design,feels like a premium device etc.

If i were you i would wait till the HTC One and Samsung S4 to be released and compare all three. I am getting a S4 (swapping my s3 for the s4) and i will play with both and will keep which ever one i feel is better. But, for now Sony Xperia Z is a winner! :D
