[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
It is possible there is something wrong with the emmc chip in the phone which explains why you can't flash stock even though Odin says it was successful. Could you post the Odin log? I'd like to see which partitions and images are being flashed.

I'm not sure how you can flash the phone and Windows does not recognize the device.

Only thing I can suggest is re-flashing with Odin 3.07, only check f.reset time. Flash the phone and, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, try to boot into recovery immediitely.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] comena:
This maybe the issue? When I power off and plug usb or charger the phone not shown charging I see only battery logo

The only cases checked when used Odin f.rest time and auto reboot, tomorrow I willbe reflashing with auto reboot unchecked and will he update, with screen shoot otherwise phone dead!!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I don't understand how Windows cannot see the phone as a recognized device in Device Manager and Odin can see the phone and flash it. This is totally strange and I have never seen this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] comena:
yes right in comupter manager the phone dont apprear as other pc partitions (c) and (d)

but when in adding printer and device the phone apprears as GTN7100 unknown device , also in drivers manager apprears as android driver plagued, that why odin recognize the usb and flash

also when i power off the phone and i put usb or charger i dont see battery charging ? i see only battery logo but not charging
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
The phone's partitions will not appear while the phone is in download mode.

Sounds to me like as hardware problem. The USB port may be bad.

When flashing, do you see a blue progress bar on the phone screen move from left to right?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] comena:
Yes I see that
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Sounds like you are doing everything you can do I believe the phone may have a hardware problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] comena:
yes this may be the issue ?? i think there is something wrong with the internal memory ?? any repair not interesting !!!!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:

I can't believe there are so few cases for the N4. Anyway...

Looking for something that will give me grip. Serious mega man grip. No slipping.

I've been using Case mate's pop cases since they provide grip. Specifically side grip with a smooth back.

Any idea?

The ballistic case is what you want.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenchai:
Hi guys I just wanted to know if rooting has some bad sides...

I know what root is and its benefits...

But something doesnt convince me.

I had an GSII and i rotted it, since the rooting and the consistent change of ROMs it has made my battery life worse.

Do you guys think that if I install a modified rom with its own kernel, will it kill my processor or detiororate my battery life?...

Oh Also, Note 2 now or Note 3 :D
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
No. It shouldn't kill the processor. It could be something else. I mean in your s2. It wouldn't have been processor. You must have killed something else.

About battery. Batteries don't have a very long life. Though today's batteries are very intelligent, the battery life can still get affected depending on the way you use it and charge it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenchai:
thanks for your answer.

The Fact that almost every root requires a change in the original kernel makes me sad. I know that most people make the best kernel and rom but they have their own phone and our own phone has different traits...but similar will still cause problems in the long go... so i guess i will stick to no rooting...

hey buddy, if i could only root without modifying kernel it would be great...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
You need not to touch kernel to root Note2.

Read post #2 of first line on my signature (N7100 All in one) for different method of root.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] praveen22:
You need to regularly clear up battery stats and let the battery drain to 0 and charge it back to 100 percent immediately after that. I resolved some of my battery issues using this technique.

I personally like rooting, so that I can change system apps (bloatware) and some of its properties (resizeable pop up browser, enabling all apps in multiwindow). Overclocking helps too. I am looking forward to root my phone to add mods like PIE controls. Many kernels are actually better than stock when it comes to battery performance. You should make a list of what you want from a ROM as most of them are good.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traumatism:
+1 this. the kernel is not touched on rooting, only when switching it for the roms.

I have rooted mine as soon as i got it. all it does is change the access to the system itself.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenchai:
really? then thats great! i always needed to use CF-Root and that used different kernel... I hope what you say its right
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
May be you have some misunderstanding, cf auto root uses kernel to root in s2 and note1.

Note2 is different and have separate recovery partition and need not to replace kernel for changing recovery or inject root.

Previous device doesn't have recovery partition and recovery is binded to kernel so it needs to replace kernel.

how to hard reset optimus G e975 indian version..
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
You can use LG Mobile Support tool to repair phone, after download select menu Customer Support > Recovery Phone.

This solution is valid as long as your pc detects the phone.

I also fixed it one time :),after some system apps updates.It took me over 2 hrs to complete the job,but after that i got a brand new,clean phone.

To hard reset, turn off the phone,then,at the same time, press volume down + power button.wait untile the hard reset menu appears.To confirm hard reset, press power button, to cancel press another key.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rspear:
I unrooted my phone and installed stock firmware a few weeks back. I now realize that it installed Bell's version of the i317M not Telus's. It seems to be fine except I can't send any mms. I've triple checked the apn settings and tried other configs but nothing works so I can only assume that Bell's firmware is the culprit.

I found telus's firmware zip so does that mean I'll have to root again, install cwm and flash it? I'll be waiting 3 days for the friggin thing to DL from hotfile.

Also, is there any alternatives to hotfile? I have a hard time believing that we should have to pay to DL stock firmware (at a reasonable speed).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rspear:
ok, this has evolved into a new issue.. I installed the telus firmware but it still shows up with the Bell bloatware and CSC code.

I tried both the 4.1.2 telus update and the initial 4.1.1 telus rom.

I've read that the only difference is the carrier's bloatware but I can tell the APN UI is different. (not the actual settings but the options available are slighty different from Telus's)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, it took me awhile to figure out that it was "IMEI No.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] iDVB:
Let me first start but making an assumption that I am not an idiot or lazy. I have spent the last 2hrs looking for the answer to this post.

Any one of the "billion" posts would do at this point, however I've been completely unable to find anything thru searches or browsing.

This post seems to be the most prominent one of all, which is great, since this post just says to refer to the Q&A section and does not provide a URL. I've been to the Q&A section, I've search a good deal and using various terms I can think of and still have not found anything.

Can anyone point me to one of these posts? I'll repeat the question...

I have flashed my Samsung Galaxy S4 (Rogers) with the stock roger's specific firmware (twice) only to find that the bloatware install is all Bell and not Rogers. This is a problem since I need to return the phone to Rogers.

I'm sure there is something small I have missed, however hours of effort can't seem to help me find the answer. Can anyone?

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

FIXED

For those people like me that are having a hard time finding the answer, its likely due to the fact that searching for "wrong carrier" and the like will not get you to finding posts about "CSC" which it turns out stands for "Consumer Software Customization" and is the value on the phone setup that chooses between the ROMs carriers in-effect.

Here is a guide to changing:

droidviews.com/how-to-change-csc-in-samsung-galaxy-phones/

Also, magically, when you search in xda for "changing CSC" you get about 1 billion posts.

So a little feedback for anyone responding to questions. If you are going to take the time to post at all, please take a moment to paste in a link to one of those billion posts, or at the very least... mention a keyword to search for.

I'm not sure where this post belongs, so sorry in advance if it's in the wrong section.

I am having a really hard time with the Google Play - My Library widget. Specifically, the My Music library. Whenever I try to add it to a homescreen, I keep getting the error "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped". The weird thing is that this is the only library that is causing that. The books, magazine, movies, and my library work just fine. They load the pictures and everything.

Can anyone confirm this bug?

Thanks!

I have resolved this problem for those looking/ having the same problem. Remove the widget and then go into Settings --> Apps (application manager) --> Menu (three dots) --> "Reset app preferences". Re-apply the widget.

I just bought a 256 MB Hama SD card. I can neither format that card through the XDA nor by windows and my Card Reader. The XDA says something like "unknown SD Card please specify name of card driver" Can anyone help? I read on the forum that the StorageTool could help so I installed it but all it says is "no volume". Should I return the SD card to Amazon?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] pdhenry:
Make sure the write-protect tab is not set to "Lock" (it should be slid toward the contacts). I read on Amazon that some people have had trouble with the tab sliding to "Lock" too easily when inserting the card.

Otherwise I'd say you need to return the card. Either the XDA or Windows should be able to format the card.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] andre:
maybe there is a speed problem between the card an the xda ?

thingking about that you can't use (maybe) some very high-speed card ?

maybe you have bought such one...

I will give a hint. This rooting needs some good flashing experience beforehand.

Forget Rooting. Just try flashing various compatible KDZ roms on your phone for a day or two with offline fix method for at least do it 5/8 times. Once you are familiar with flashing the KDZ (rom), then rooting will be very easy after that. :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicphone:
I'm new and just playing with my options. If you do a Backup from your phone using ClockworkMod Backup, do you have to do a normal, full Recovery to get back everything, but without the junk? (Cache, history, unused items, etc.)

If you wipe the cache in Clockwork, then everything is gone. But if you do a full recovery, everything come back. So the trick must be that you might be better with a partial recovery? I have a Galaxy Mini with 180 MB of space available and more on the ROM. Yes, I know I can do an SD-Ext, but this post is about the proper cleanup.

Or messing with Clockwork doesn't give you more space, you only need a tool like 1 Tap Eraser and you can call it a day?

What is your Best Practice?

want to ask some question here

Can I port Desire S rom eg: (ViperSaga,CM) to Rhyme?

glad that anyone can answer my question here

:p
[HTC Desire S] asgardr:
In my opinion this is not the question to us but rather to VenomTeam,

or the dev of a specific rom you wish to port

because it is their permission you seek rather than ours,

If you mean technical aspect- unless you try it, you/ we'll not know;)

Edit: i've seen htc wildfire running ics- not without a glitch- but still....

so, thinking the same way why htc rhyme wouldn' be able to run sense 4 rom...

but this is my assumption only ( i wouldn't quote me as if that was true- beyond doubt )

Rhyme's tech. spec are very similar to saga's ..... ( when we speak about bliss naturally;) )
[HTC Desire S] zeitmaschine:
just wondering if I can port since there is no custom rom for rhyme.bcause this phone is for ladies.
