Looking for a wireless BT keyboard/trackpad combo like the Logitech k400 but with bluetooth not USB dongle.

Any suggestions?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RhodderzXii:
I have hacked a few (as in 2) phones in the past and had great luck using the serial connection.

With the Xperia Z it is a bit harder. After viewing the disassembled pictures I have a few candidates but do not

want to try and open the sealed unit.

But i did notice 2 pads under the SD Card slot and due to not having any sufficient equipment at the moment

wondered if anyone knew if these where serial connectors or what these could be (i have a theory it is either Serial or Antenna)

Cheers

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GerPronouncedGrr:
Hi,

I'm new to both the forums and to rooting, which should be obvious when I say I soft-bricked my phone tonight. After about 3 hours of pouring over these forums and trying numerous things, I was finally able to factory reset my phone. It sucks, but I'm glad to have it at least working again!

Before I went messing around, I created a Nandroid backup using the Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit v7.0, but now, since all the files on my droid are gone, that backup only exists on my PC. So, the question is, how do I restore my phone to this backup?

I have an S3 1747M 4.1.1

The files in my backups folder are:

\backup

-\2013-03-23.05.11

--boot.img

efs.tar

efs.img

system.ext4.201303230727.tar

I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it and I'm going crosseyed after spending so much time here tonight :silly:

Thank you!

If the back up was created from a recovery just put it on a SD card a restore from recover
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GerPronouncedGrr:
Erm... I don't have an external. Is it possible to move it to my internal to accomplish the same thing? I appreciate the help :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
This is not a system backup. The files in your folder do not match the files that you should be seeing in a nandroid folder. You made this in recovery?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GerPronouncedGrr:
This is, I *believe* what was output by the toolkit when I ran the nandroid backup option. Am I looking in the wrong spot? I also did an EFS backup, which could explain erroneous files.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
That's what this is: an efs backup, not a nandroid.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GerPronouncedGrr:
OK, thanks for the info, that clears it up a little. However, just for crystal clarity sake, are you saying that the boot.img is EFS related also?

When I ran the Nandroid backup it gave me the option to save either externally or internally, IIRC. I saved internally because, as mentioned, I don't have an external. If this boot.img isn't what I need, then does that mean I lost my backup when I factory reset? :crying:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
Whats the file size of system.ext4.201303230727.tar?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
I was wondering that too but at the same time, there's still a data & cache tar plus several other standard files I've always seen in a backup that aren't here
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
Yep. Definitely an efs backup.

There are major files missing here.

TO OP: Do not attempt to flash any of this unless you are trying to restore your efs (which you should do ONLY IF you lost your imei). The tar file MAY be your system files and the boot.img just that, but that is it. You have none of the rest that is standard and if you are on a custom ROM things could go very wrong. If possible make your nandroids through TWRP or CWM. These will store nandroids properly. I believe both give you the option to store the nandroids on the internal or external (if you have one) memory. Make backups of these regularly if you really like the ROM.

I would HIGHLY recommend an external card...and for various reasons. It can be only a 2gig and that will be fine. This covers you in the event that your data/charging port should quit working for any reason (rare but it can happen). It also gives you a convenient way to backup those important things to you (pictures, music, etc.) and convenience to restore nandroids or revert to stock.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
+1 for the micro sd card. At $10 for a 16g, you can't go wrong. I keep a backup or 2 on mine, plus my current rom/gapps/recovery zips. Very handy.

Aybarrap1, that rom settling in well for you?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GerPronouncedGrr:
OK, well now that it's been pointed out to me I feel like an idiot. Size of .tar file in question is 0kb... So obviously backup failed and I just never noticed, because I didn't know what to look for. I saw the operation complete and assumed it was fine. I guess I just have to accept that I'm starting over from square one. Lesson learned from all this: Read more, ask first.

Thanks go out to everyone who helped me figure this out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
That's what we're here for, buddy.

Go back into recovery and make another backup so you'll have one. What's good is that you actually do have an efs backup. That's a very smart thing to do and something I keep on my micro sd card. Cheers
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GerPronouncedGrr:
By the way, while we're on the topic of me not knowing what's going on, is it possible that through all of this, factory reset, stock boot, that my phone is still rooted? I started re-installing apps and one of them was the ROM Toolbox that caused my issue in the first place. I didn't do anything with it yet, but I didn't notice that it behaves as though I have SU access.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
I don't know exactly what steps you took to recover your device so I can't say specifically. However, you can download apps like rom manager and titanium Backup that require root to see if they work. Do you still have a custom recovery (cwm or twrp)?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
So far. Of course, as with all ROMS, I can't say for sure until I have given it a couple of days. Thanks for asking. And regarding the micro sd...you are right. They are super cheap now so there is really not much of an excuse to not have one. For the cost of a couple of beers or eating out you can buy one that has ample memory.

---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

If you are unsure, look for SuperSU or SuperUser in your app drawer. Or download TiBu and run it. If you have SU access it will prompt you (or open up if already installed). If you do not have root, try these methods here if you have a windows pc. You sound new to this so this would be easier than the learning all the steps you took to gain root. The toolbox is great but take your time to learn about each component before jumping in. Remember toolbox is more or less a roll up of multiple things root and otherwise. Take your time to learn one thing at a time. This will save you a lot of headache.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GerPronouncedGrr:
Yes, I have SuperSU, and I was successfully able to change my system font using the toolkit, so it seems I still have root access. I will definitely be moving more slowly with this stuff in the future! Thanks again for all the help, everyone!

[Android Apps and Games] JohnnyEpic:
Some big potential here. Needs polish. Certainly heading in the right direction.

Multiplayer should be the focus. Turn based play. Powerups. More powerups. Earned powerups. Sell power ups. (in app purchase) When i have more time, I'll write you better idea list. Short on time, just wanted to drop by sone words of encouragement. Keep at it!
[Android Apps and Games] pizzaforbreakfast:
Hey Johnny, thanks a ton for downloading. Just that brief feedback is wonderful. Those are all ideas we definitely have planned out, so your feedback is giving us the assurance that we're on the right track. We have around 14 powerups planned, including the 2 already in the game. The next build will have at least one additional powerup, and possibly some changes to the current ones. We do plan on incorporating in-app purchasing for powerups, but that will come later after we fully balance the game. We are designing it so that it will not restrict game-play in any way.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sinryu99:
Hello all,

My device is Galaxy Wonder gt8150..

im using cyanogen mod 10 alpha 7

recovery mode still default..

yesterday i try to update my kernel to yoon kernel chronos.. i install that kernel through recovery mode..

after installing kernel i reboot my device but when the reboot processing, it says cant access system/csc/xse/system..

what should i do? i cant access my external sd card too..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
1. Make sure you flashed the right kernel. hadi made 2 versions of Yoon.kernel, one for ICS, and one for JB.

2. After flashing, did you remember to wipe cache + Dalvik cache? It's very important.

3. Try the following from your recovery: wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache, Fix Permissions

4. If all fails, reflash your ROM, but this time, go the *Pristine* way (thread in the General forum).
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] beehaapxl:
hi pep, i have a question for u.

when I try to Flash Xistance 4.1.2 Rootbox for my W, its always stuck on Bootanimation (sometime "blank Screen" after Cyanogenmod logo Appear)???

(I have downloaded 2 .zip ROM from difference PC, and try to Flash with each ROM)

I did it with your pristine too.

it never happen when I Flash with Arco CM9 or CM10.

-----hope you see my post pep--
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
Probably one of the init.d scripts 'hung'.

If you're using TWRP, mount /system then go to /system/etc/init.d and rename *all* files there: append ".disabled" (without quotes) to each. Then, reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sinryu99:
thanks pep.. now my galaxy wonder fixed.. but i have some problem @_@..

im using Cyanogenmod 10, with athena kernel.. but why i cant use my wifi and tethering hot spot.. it cant be activated @_@..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] beehaapxl:
i'm using CWM Recovery. just do the same way or defferent??
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
AFAIK, CWM has no file manager, unlike TWRP...

That's why I prefer TWRP instead of CWM now. It's much more functional.

---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 PM ----------

Arco's latest kernel introduced a new driver, which needs changes in the ROM. Older ROMs won't work with the latest kernel, and vice versa.

Perhaps your kernel cooker hasn't integrated Arco's fix yet? Try asking the kernel maker...

Edit: That's why I refrain from flashing CM9RC7... @hadidjapri is busy with his finals, and Yoon.kernel Chronos is not compatible with CM9RC7...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] beehaapxl:
pep, so.. after install the RootBox Rom and if its stuck on Boot logo then

mount /system then go to /system/etc/init.d and rename *all* files there: append ".disabled"

there is 2 file "00banner" and "90userinit" (it's in the CM10 Alpha 7 init.d) so i just rename the 2 file(just example) to "00banner.disabled" and "90userinit.disabled" and then reboot???

sorry pep, just want to make me sure.

thank u pep,

terima kasih

matur nuwun
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
Yup. Also, remember to wipe cache and Dalvik cache. And Fix Permissions.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] beehaapxl:
sorry pep, it didn't work.

after install rom, wipe cache n dalvik, reboot, and blank screen.

reboot recovery, rename file under init.d, wipe cache and dalvik success.

fix permissions failed , because "failed because format system"mayb... owh I forget..

reboot system and still the same.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sinryu99:
hmm.. yeah i think its not compatible.. but now i change my kernel again.. hehe..

thx pep..

Battery calibration is all hype really. It does more harm than good. Allow your device a few charging cycles and it should handle it's own battery statistics (unless the battery happens to be faulty, but even then it isn't a problem with the device itself) . That's what it was built to do.
