[General Questions and Answers] earbuster:
I have multiple problems so read on.

A couple weeks ago the computer stopped recognizing my verizon gnex that was rooted, unlocked and running jbsourcery 5.1 that it previously had no problems seeing. It still charges via wall and usb with original m-usb cable. I've tried numerous times to re-install the samsung driver on the computer with wug's toolkit with no luck. I've tried another samsung m-usb cable...no luck. My computer is new so no problems with usb ports (I've tried all of them) and have tried the ver 2.0 port. USB debugging is on and fastcharge is off.

My second and worst problem:

Yesterday in a fit of stupidity I restored one of my original backups ( I believe made with CWM recovery ) that turned out to be a stock. img and after restoring it OTA updated to stock JB. All my other backups were done with TWRP and it's no longer present on the phone. I tried installing BootUnlocker from play store but it says I have no root access and the phone won't flash either recovery so I'm stuck with only Fastboot ver. 9 that only wants to flash something from adb. I've exhausted my knowledge and eyes are crossed from reading forums. :eek:

I want to get back to full rooted or back to full stock.

It is still unlocked

I don't know if I can use something like Terminal Emulator for this or even how to use it.

If you know enough to see that I'm totally screwed...Please tell me! (I'm a big boy)

If you think you have a solution...You are a god!

If you need more info...I can provide it :o

Whoa...really big problem

Why can't you enter recovery mode?

And what's ur age...
[General Questions and Answers] earbuster:
Rom manager is on the phone but each time i try to reboot into recovery it does nothing. If I try to enter recovery through VOL up/dwn-Pwr it just goes to minimal fastboot that only gives me the option of installing from adb.

50 yrs young
[General Questions and Answers] earbuster:
It wont flash recovery while in Rom manager but it says CWM and Twrp are both installed on phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Streetryders_2000:
First thing, I was serious about ur age,

Second to go into recovery mode see here.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vXCyI-BpZw
[General Questions and Answers] earbuster:
Yes...but when I try to enter recovery all I get is the dead android icon with a red triangle on his chest. If i press vol/up and pwr button at this point it goes to the install from adb options in fastboot ver.9

And I'm being honest...I'm 50

Hi.

Doesn´t matter what pc i connect to but all are win8

usb debug is on, unknown sources is on, installed Samsung Galaxy S3 ToolKit v7 and Samsung_USB_Driver_1.5.16.0 on pc, Odin 3.07 does not see any connected device. phone makes the noise when connect to usb and charghing just no reaction from pc or any reaction from android os pulldown menu.

I installed that leaked 1.3gb arab official samsung rom since i wanted to use my allshare cast dongle, tho I seem to need to use triangle away in order to get a allshare cast connection with my tv, and to use triangle away i need super user acces for which i was going to use ODIN with CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.tar.md5

Has the USB port been pshysically damaged? i just did a factory reset, back to the default original leaked 4.2.1 which did nothing to solve my problem.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Go to pc system device manager, is the phone listed under connected usb devices or has a problem noted?

If it is there and shows the correct drivers then the problem is on the phone, I'd try going back to EMB5 stock first - rather than a leak.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] premier69:
okidoki, now i am confused! see screenshot.

what is EMB5? and if it's a rom can i still make it work with my current issue?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Do you have an entry for Samsung USB controller within the Universal Serial controllers, if not then the device isn't being recognised.

By EMB5 I meant flash the genuine stock Samsung 4.1.2 ROM via odin, not some leaked version of 4.2.

This will test if your issue is hardware or software related.

Finally, you are trying to connect the phone to odin in bootloader mode - right?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] premier69:
You mean power + volume down + home button? yes. tried it, used t recognize it that way.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] premier69:
Is there ANY way to root my device NOT using the usb port, I'm going to assume it's been damaged somehow (beer, maybe a smal shallow bath) It did act weird a short period afterwards with making the "connected and charging beep sound" and un-doing it, then re again but all that dissapeared pretty quickly, like the day after. Otherwise the phone is in pristine condition and not even a scratch on it despite heavy usage through usage since bought in July.

IF I send it in for service, do you have any good advice for me on how to approach them with my odds being the best, I mean, custom rom, but that should'nt matter when they test the port and notice it doesn't work for them either, right?

Jesus christ Maria, booze damages has cost me more than the actual alcohol and this is Sweden we're talking about, most expensive place on the planet.

Hey i have had my kindle fire rooted for a very long time recently i tried to install a 2nd bootloader and TWRP following the instructions on the site..... I used KF First Aid and went through the options. The kindle went into fastboot mode and then cut out and when it rebooted i was presented with a screen saying: Kindle Fire System Recovery.... Your kindle doesn't seem to be able to boot. Resetting your kindle to Factory Defaults may help you to fix this issue. Reboot Your Kindle or Reset to factory defaults.

I have tried resetting to factory defaults i have tried using KF First Aid to restore backup images how ever my computer no longer picks up the kindle not as an adb device or fastboot device when ever i reboot it would show the original kindle fire logo (white and orange) then the screen goes black the logo reappears with this "Kindle Fire System Recovery.... Your kindle doesn't seem to be able to boot. Resetting your kindle to Factory Defaults may help you to fix this issue. Reboot Your Kindle or Reset to factory defaults."

Can someone please help me as to how to correct or reverse the damage i have done?

is there any way to kill the current process by holding the back button?

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] brambizimski:
Can't you just swipe it away in the recent apps menu ?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Akiainavas:
On stock and non-rooted rom you can only disable all background processes in Developers Menu. There's no way to set a hardware button kill action.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] babylonbwoy:
Would be cool to have a mod with "long press kill option" like in CM rom.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] xX NeOnShK Xx:
Are you sure swiping kills it?

It kills most apps - not all of them though. Some are "swipe-resistant" for whatever reason.

3rd party app

Hi, I am currently using third party apps to kills, Its called gmd gestures which u can create a gesture that will kill process (Force stops the app but still u will receive the push notification) so it will not drain ur battery, u can also hide ur onscreen buttons and status bar where u enjoy th full screen real estate. Try it and u will love it
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] l0tech:
Why do you want to kill processes?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] xX NeOnShK Xx:
I googled this and it seems that swiping apps is pretty useless. When you swipe an app you just clear it from memory cache. So you will not get any ram out of swiping. But still, can someone confirm it?? :confused:

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] monika69:
assuming I do sleep everyday till 7am ... I do not want anyone to wake me up before that time, I would like the wake up alarm to trigger XDA switch from "vibrate" to voice alarms informing about incoming calls if any, and then every voice call is announced with a voice alarm ONLY after a wake up alarm

going a step further ... I would like to set specific and predefined hours to make XDA be silent, say every friday from 1pm to 3pm .... and I want it to be automatic :)

regards,

monika
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] LumpiStefan:
Don't know if that really does what you want, but you can take a look at a programm called Meeting mute.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] LumpiStefan:
Think this could be done with the Ultra Profiler....

Stefan
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] monika69:
ultraprofiler u mean an external software ??

is that software functioning also on XDA I ??

best regards,

monika
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] LumpiStefan:
I think both programs works on the xda 1.

At the meeting mute software i'm sure.

The ultra Profiler needs WM2003 as i have in my mind.

Just search for it and take a look at it.

now, I'm wondering if my backups are usable

or are they damaged, because I deleted the cwm/blob dir ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavisNT:
If entire /clockworkmod/blobs directory is cleaned/deleted, then all DUP backups are broken.

According to option's name it should only delete unreferenced files in this directory, thus leaving backups intact.

Halleluiah. I was getting ready to revert back to the stock samsung rom due to battery issues. I deleted the "clockworkmod/backup" folder (after I backed it up on my computer), and the media scanner no longer hogs my cpu and battery.

It might be caused by the theme/icon pack you've installed.

[Android Themes] titanic_fanatic:
Have you ever decompiled an apk wanting to theme it, but when you open the graphics you want to theme, they look distorted and blotchy?

Well, that's because all graphics on an android device are optimized before they're packaged, and this is what causes the distorted images.

Going through these graphics 1 by 1 can be time consuming, and isn't very fun, so I've aimed to change this by creating the Android Batch Image Converter. It's extremely simple to use, and uses the same algorithms for processing images that is used in the draw9patch tool.

You simply pick the directory where all graphics to be converted reside, then click on "Convert". This application will go through every png in that directory and replace it with an un-optimized version that you can work with in your favorite graphics editor.

This is obviously brand new, and it's development will rely on the popularity and usage of this application.

This application is written in Java and will require java 6 (1.6) or above and has currently only been tested on Windows 7, but should work on other OS as well.

As always, this tool is safe, however, I can not be held responsible for it's misuse and/or damages that it may cause to your mobile and/or desktop devices while using it.

You can download this application from the following link:

*** UPDATED October 27, 2013 ***

Android Batch Image Converter 1.1 - (04/14/2013)

It's a "Runnable Jar" file and only needs to be placed into the directory where you want it to run from.

*** SEE THE CHANGE LOG IN THE SECOND POST FOR NEW FEATURES ***

All constructive criticism and suggestions are welcome :)

Good Luck, and Happy Theming ;)

This sounds like a windows UAC issue, thus the permission denied error. Try this, create a new empty text file named start_abic.bat, and place this text inside it:

java -jar AndroidBatchImageConvertor-1.1.jar

Make sure this file is either in the same directory as the app, or that the path to the jar is correct in the batch file. Then, right click on the batch file and open as administrator. This should run the app and allow it to function correctly with the right system permissions ;)
