[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elkinm:
The exact same thing happened to me. The update failed and emergency recovery failed.

I tried a different PC and it could not recognize the phone (on that one for some reason kies was locked at 25% cpu of 4 cores and running really slow).

I went back to the original PC and tried different ports, even a USB 3.0 add-on card without success.

I will try exchanging the phone today, but I still want to take the replacement to JB and I have another 2 phones that need the update.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elkinm:
I got the replacement phone and almost immediately tried the update on yet another PC. This time the update was successful and I am seeing how things go. Now I have 2 more phones to update.

I don't know why it worked this time, but on the other PCs it would sometimes fail to detect the phone right away and might require unplugging and plugging back in.

On the PC that worked it did not have any issues. Maybe if there are any issue prior to the update, that is a sign that you should try a different PC.

Hey,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Y Pro ( TXT) (GT-B5510), this afternoon i tried to put back the stock rom on it using ODIN. I think something went wrong and now im only having a white screen the whole time. I can't go into download mode because i have no vision of it due the white screen. KIES doesn't recognize the phone, so i can't use that either. I think i've bricked it, and i've tried using a JIG but it doesn't work for me (could be a solding fault). Is there anything i can do to get my phone back running?

Cya,

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LionFreak:
I am currently using a CM based rom on my S3, but this first happened on another rom too. After I installed a CM based rom that I am happy with, I formatted the external SD card and put a ton of music on it. I listened to the music Saturday. I use the paid version of PowerAmp that I've used for years... I get home from work yesterday and plug in speakers and all my music is gone again. The SD card is blank.. ugh..

Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas of what would cause this?

Current phone status:

Android 4.2.2

Baseband L710VPBMA6

Kernel 3.4.37-cyanogenmod-g5c3fd50

CyanogenMod 2.6b-20130404-d2spr

Thanks... any help/suggestions would be appreciated!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Just to make sure: you're saying that the entire contents of the sd card are erased. If you open up a file explorer (or pop the sd card into a computer), absolutely everything is erased?

You say this has happened other times. Were they also AOSP roms? Did it only happen when using PowerAmp?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LionFreak:
topherk, Thanks so much for the reply. I used freeza's rom shown in my signature for a pretty long time.. I was going to the gym after work regularly before Christmas & would listen to my music using the stated app. Work got super hectic.. I stopped going to the gym staying up late & working weekends programming & managing plant installs.. I think I update the modem this year & could just flash an update to the rom over the existing rom & wouldn't lose app or settings... I think freeza's last update was the beginning of March which I installed...

I have no idea if the rom or those updates are even relevant...I'm just trying to think of the changes I did... about 2 weeks ago when I tried to play music the app started to try to play multiple songs simultaneously. I had gotten hooked on a shooter game that you earned virtual $ for downloading apps..(I assumed that had more to do with problems than anything) The multiple songs playing would cause a force close of PowerAmp... So I knew I needed to "clean" my phone... I reset it to factory defaults.. wiped cache all the normal type stuff I done countless times since I rooted my 1st smart phone....

I apologize for the long reply...but since I had to reset everything...I thought I'd try a couple different roms.. I tried the Hyperdrivre rom but kept noticing problems.. I then installed the Avatar rom & spent all day last Saturday getting my apps back & all set up & running smooth.. love the rom & not having any noticeable issues..everything is working & I think I might keep this till I get my S4...seems like it will be a good rom when I pass the phone to the daughter..but after I got it all set... I loaded music back on the ext SD card.. I played cribbage with the wife that night & played music..I didn't do anything but controls program updates for my PA plant...I think I downloaded some new themes... but then came home after work to play some music while prepping dinner & my music was gone again...

When I look at it with Root Explorer it only shows "Lost.DIR" on the external SD card & I'm wondering... WTH? lol Even when I reset it to try different roms I didn't reset or wipe the external.. IDK.. weird... I can try putting things on it again. it's just odd..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LionFreak:
Lost files again... Notification bar states 'SD card is blank or has unsupported file system' It wants to format it again... sigh... I can't wait till the S4 comes out..

Hello,

at first, sorry for my bad english, I'm from Germany ;)

I want so sell my tablet and the customer wanted me to install CM10.1 on the Kindle Fire 2.

So I rooted it, installed TWRP and CM10.1 with GAPPS. This all was done correctly, but when

I looked in Windows on sd card, I saw that there was a lot of data left. So I thought, you could

wipe internal storage to remove all your data.

Now, I booted up again, but suddenly, there were no widgets left, wallpaper is now black and

which is most important: the task bar (this thing on the bottom of the screen) is away. So cannot

enter my homescreen, if I am on the apps screen.

I already installed CM10.1 a secound time, but the result is equal.

Can you help me with this problem ?

Thank you!
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] chronicfathead:
Did you try going into TWRP to wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset and system, before reflashing 10.1?

There is one good thing, you are still booting after wiping internal storage.

If that doesn't work, it sounds like you will need to restore back to stock and flash again. Read this post, then follow the link to Kindle first aide.

Did I understand correctly fastboot cable = adb is working without complicated command line actions ? :D
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:

Don't take it personal, but I'm wondering how you have been able to install TWRP recovery at all without knowing what the fastboot mode is...
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] K3n$!:
[MENTION=5208919]E_Zatopek[/MENTION]: There is no question/answer that tells me what this fastboot itself is.

It always shows how to get fastboot mode but doesn't mention what this mode excatly is.

Maybe, I missed to see it.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] E_Zatopek:
OK, got your point.

Let me try to explain: "fastboot" is a client-side program (included in Google's Android SDK and many other Android toolkits) that can communicate with an Android device after this has been booted up in "fastboot mode". As a prerequisite to facilitating this communication, you have to install and properly setup "adb drivers" first.

In fastboot mode you can manipulate the device's partition directly: you can erase or format partitions and - most important for us, who want to install custom ROMs and have to occasionally restore the previous state - flash new data to the boot, recovery and/or system partitions.

If you enter "fastboot" at the Windows/Linux command shell, the resulting output should give you a better idea of what fastboot can do for you.

There are many different ways to boot up a device in fastboot mode - some of them device-specific (like pressing and holding the volume up or down button when switching the device on), some of them pretty generic.

You should really read as many forum threads discussing the use of fastboot and related problems as possible before actually using it on your device. Working with fastboot always brings the risk of bricking your device.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] munkee:
Hi guys,

Quick newbie question:

I have had an XDA for about 8 months and am interested in the new XDA2, particularly now that O2 has dropped the price to £199.

My question is; Does the majority of XDA software work on the XDA2? I ask because I have installed a lot of software on my XDA (ie TomTom2, PocketTV player, Program/Battery Pack, Acrobat Reader, games and many more) and it would all seem a waste if I couldn't install these on the XDA2.

Many thanx

Munkee
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Rudegar:
xda2 use intel xcale and xda1 use intel arm cpu they are codecompatible

so unless it's software written specialy for special hardware which is not directly cpu related

it should work just like software from ipaq's works on both systems aswell

the issue however is that not all programs written for ppc2002 works on ppc2003

pda's are much like pc's when it comes to the fact that software written for one brand of pda works on all other pdas using the same OS, (though it may have to be recompiled if the other PDA use another cpu like mips or some other which is not code compatible with the cpu of xda1 and 2)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Joey#2:
Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help me.

I got a TF201 recently and it was rooted so I decided to try and flash it back to factory setting, I went into recovery mode and found there was a backup on there from when it was first made so I restored it to that.

I then clicked the button to reset the system and it gets to the Asus logo but doesn't go any further.

I tried booting into recovery again (power and vol down key) and all I get to is a menu that says "wipe data" or "fastboot USB download protocol", but no matter what I do I can't get past that screen!

Have I properly bricked it? or is there some way I can save this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
I will try to help you later but for now can you please tell me where the "NVIDIA" logo is when you switch it on bottom center or bottom right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Joey#2:
its bottom center
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
You are still on ICS bootloader.

I would advise you doing the nvflash process before leaving ICS because with them files backed up you can never hard brick your prime.

http://androidroot.mobi/t3_nvflash/

What rom do you want to install on there?

Here is a quote from another post I made.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Joey#2:
Right I'm confused by this bit here:

Plug the prime into pc and make sure you have the drivers installed. If you do not please install them from here. http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1426502

Next follow this post to flash ICS twrp http://xdaforums.com/show...postcount=5705

I have done everything upto there and I downloaded the drivers from that link but I don't know how to install them? do you mean install them onto my PC or onto the tablet? because my tablet doesn't appear in Windows when I plug it in.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
When you go to the bootloader where the icons are and you plug the prime into PC it should show up in device manager. If the drivers are not installed it will show unknown device in device manager. If they are installed they will be up the top somewhere under asus or android devices saying something like asus bootloader interface.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Joey#2:
right I've done that now and also I've run that Zip file you said to use "ICS TWRP Updater.zip" it came up saying it was successful and then I rebooted my device and went into fastboot USB again and its sitting on the same screen.. now what?

Btw apologies I'm a beginner when it comes to this sort of stuff
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Well that should have now given you a recover option as the first icon when in bootloader. Are you not getting that ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Joey#2:
Nope its just sat on the same screen as before where I can select wipe data or fastboot USB
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Oh wait.. You are on ICS.. It's been so long.

I think the way to get into recovery on that is to hold the power down and volume down button to turn it on and then press volume up when the message appears. I don't think you had the recovery icon on ICS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Joey#2:
That doesn't work either I just get to the same screen as before, I can seem to get into the boot menu at all just the wipe data and usb fastboot menu
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Well I have some blob files here that should take you to either the 4.1.1 bootloader and a custom recovery or the 4.2.1 bootloader and a custom recovery but when you upgrade to them you will lose the ability to ever make your nvflash backups.

It all depends what rom you want to go to and if you want to go this route.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Joey#2:
If you could somehow manage to get my tablet back up and working with 4.1.1 on it you sir would be a hero and a legend in my eyes, I'm happy to go this route if it somehow works.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
I am going to give the script a quick test on my machine first so that I know it works this end.

I have not really seen your problem before so cannot guarantee this will fix you but it's worth a go if you are up for it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Joey#2:
Yeah definitely it's not working at all ATM so ill try anything
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Here we go.

Make a folder on a drive like d:/fix and place the following zip in it (not on desktop).

Extract it there and run the Attempt_Fix.bat file.

http://flumpster.lolcakes.com/android/Fix%20for%20ICS%20Guy.zip

Follow the onscreen instructions to get into fastboot mode. When it gets to the writing 'staging' part that is where is should pause for about 5 minutes and a blue line should fill on the screen. Do not turn it off at this point.

If everything completes correctly and the blue line filled all the way then when you continue at the end it should restart and stick on the Asus screen.

Hold down volume down and power button for 10 seconds and keep holding and see if the icons reappear.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Joey#2:
right we might be getting somewhere now i now have RCK and android on this screen, now what?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
click up on RCK.. you now have recovery.

Now you have to pick a rom and put it on microsd.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Joey#2:
I suspected you would say that, I selected RCK and its sat on that same screen saying "booting recovery kernel image.. I have a feeling its not meant to do that
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
No it isn't.

When you switch the prime on now where is the NVIDIA logo this time. If it is bottom right it has definitely updated the bootloader.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Joey#2:
its moved to the bottom right now and the top left corner it says The device is Unlocked

When I ran the attempt fix it only got half way on the bar and then an error came up but on my computer it said it updated successfully, is it possible that's what's causing it to stick?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
It should go all the way..

It would say successful because that't what I told it to type in the script if it cleared the flashing part. It is obviously clearing that part but failing on another.

It has done the bootloader part so that only leaves the re-partitioning and the writing of recovery.

How long did the blue bar take to fill?

Can you try running it again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Joey#2:
YAY! im in at last!! right I don't wanna get this wrong now so where can I get a rom which is as close to the factory rom as possible? and how do I put it on?
