failed root(kingo)- hardbricked gt-i9300 s3

hi all,

excuse my noobiness but i recently tried to root my old galaxy s3 using kingo as recommended by a few ppl with rooted phones. anyway, after attempting to root my phone using this program my phone is now hardbricked, i.e. i cannot turn it on at all. i purchased a usb jig from ebay and can now get it to download mode. i also proceeded to download odin 3 v3.09 and have since tried 3 different .md5 firmware files from sammobile- specific to my country and model of phone. so far no success, even though odin shows everything was a success, my phone reboots, installs successfully.. the problem is this. my phone was encrypted using the inbuilt encryption feature, as far as i know flashing a new rom will wipe everything clean so there should be no issue as to whether it was encrypted or not?? after every attempt to flash a new rom and my phone reboots i am taken back to the usual password option to 'decrypt this encrypted device'.

i know it is something simple, or should be... (don't mean to sound pressumptuous), if anyone could point me to the right link or suggest a solution i would be greatly appreciative.

ty in advance

Samsung G. S4 i337

So I decided to get a new Rom for my rooted galaxy s4 and the two files that I used had the md5 code correct although it did not work. I used Safestrap to install the new rom but after it did not work I tried to restore my phone, it failed, and then I accidentally clicked reboot. Afterwards, I am unable to get back onto Safestrap and stuck on a boot loop (stock recovery pops up every other time). Now I am unable to boot any rom. So do I just re-install stock rom firmware back onto my phone using Odin? Orrr...I don't know what else I can do or that can possibly be done. Help would be appreciated.

Guys, I seem to be in a bit of a jam here. Every time I open the Play Store app, it'll give me this error which says, "Error retrieving information from server. [df-dferh-01]".

I know how to fix it temporarily by going to Settings >>> Apps >>> All >>> Google Play Store >>> and then clearing the cache and data. This only works temporarily.

Is there a way to fix the problem permanently?

Getting music to start/stop with toggle button

How does one control whether music is on/off with a toggle button, but when the music is being played from a different activity?

Example:

a game menu opens and plays music automatically

in the game menu, there is an options button. You click it.

A new activity opens, and there's a toggle button for the music that opened in the first activity

But whenever I press the button, the music does not stop...

At the moment all I have is this...

public void ToggleMusic(View view) {

boolean toggleMusic = ((ToggleButton) view).isChecked();

if (toggleMusic) {

} else {

}

I have tried many different things within those brackets, but I've only had this software for about 5 days, so I have no idea what actually works...

pleas help me
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Thats one possibility, but it prevents the service just from starting. To make sure to get rid of the wakelock problem you need to change the permissions e.g. using integrated APP OP / Privacy Guard (Integrated in Cyanogenmod) or Xposed Module App Settings:

Disable:

"Wake up" + "Keep awake" for "Google Play Services"

"Wake up" for "Google Play Store"

[General Questions and Answers] ThomsonAgro:
Hello all,

I would like to ask a question about a problem I encountered with my Elephone P6000. I’ve been reading and searching for similar situations and solutions for 3 straight days now, and my motivation as dropped to a minimum.

This week I got the P6000 from a friend, and it was running on the 8.3 stock-ROM from 26-12-2014. I read about the screen lag, and went on trying to fix it. I tried several methods, a app made by lidmiloff, a .bat file by the1024 (and zOrgent? Not sure..) and finally a Russian/Chinese application provided on 4PDA.

This last method had an effect, although it was not the effect I was expecting. When I tried to operate my phone after the application was done, the touchscreen had become unresponsive to my touches. The volume buttons, and power button still work and I can boot the phone as it would normally.

I’ve tried to flash several ROMs (using SP Flash tool) to repair the touchscreen: a stock-rom provided by Elephone, a stock-ROM provided by s7yler (from needrom) and a backup (2014-12-28) rom provided by (the1024). Unfortunately, flashing another ROM does not fix the problem and I’m still stuck with an unresponsive touchscreen.

The plan I wanted to try next was to flash the 8.4 ROM from 31-01-2015 and after that try the .bat file by the1024 again. However, I’m not really sure anymore if it would help and if I can break the phone any more than that it already is. It seems that flashing a new ROM with SP Flash tool does not affect the change that was made by the Chinese application. Does anybody know why this is the case?

It would be great if you guys could give me your two cents on my problem. I’m stuck, and to be honest getting quite insecure about the whole thing.

Kind regards,

Tom

PS: I've asked this question in multiple (relevant) threads. I hope this is not a problem, please let me know if it is!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Sounds like a driver/kernel issue instead of a ROM issue to me but I'm no expert, have you tried other kernels that are compatible with your device and any of the ROMs you've used?

It sounds like one of your mods has modified a partition that changing ROMs doesn't touch. I'm not familiar with the mods you used or what partitions they do their thing in. Have you tried contacting the developer of the Chinese app you used? That's where I would start because they would know how to undo what their app has done and what partition it did its thing in.

Your volume button may be sticking, try opening the device carefully and then cleaning the power switch itself where it attaches to the board with some alcohol, be careful while doing it and it might get you straight.

No. You can only downgrade firmware with S-Off. You could just flash a Kit-Kat based ROM though. Not sure if that will fix your issues or not though.

Best way is to set up your system from scratch. Perform a full wipe and then flash your rom again, as nobody can comprehend what you did with your phone that it became like this.

Can I create an executable img from a Nandroid backup??

Hi there (Again)... I have managed to make a backup from my android system, through the Nandroid online apk. Is the same backup that is created through the CWM and TWRP recoveries, only you can backup while the device is "online" and not in recovery mode, as long as it is rooted. The CWM and TWRP recoveries provide a restore option but i can not install those recoveries on my weird, "King of Clones" Allwinner A20 TV stick. And there seems not a restore option through the online version. I could not find a CWM or TWRP version for my device, although even if i did, I don't see how I would be able to install them as, the device doesn't seem to be able to enter fastboot mode, or usb debugging mode (been trying for ages that i am almost sure it can't). So I don't think I could restore while the device is online... so I was wondering if there was a way I could make an executable img from the backed up data ??? :-/
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
First of all, you need to find out what recovery version this app is using. CWM and TWRP are not cross compatible.

[General Questions and Answers] okdockey:
Hello my friend... I apologize for not being very clear but actually I have written here before and I have been down various paths to restore my device but everything has been unsuccessful... Long story short, I got cheated to an Allwinner A20 Tv Stick (terrible chips) which is not even the original (has mixed hardware in it i.e A20 processor + AP6210 wifi module - rare combination).. Kodi (XBMC) playback is terrible with Allwinners. Thought I could make it little better by a more sufficient firmware but i did not succeed to find the firmware to support the above combination, so in every firmware that i tried the wifi would not work. Tried to work with fixing the wifi but no result. Tried to find supported firmware no result. The original firmware is nowhere to be found and to be honest i don't really know what i am looking for since there is no name on this device. There seems to be no bootloader option for this device. The usb debugging doesn't seem to be supported... So I am really stuck with options. I had bought five pieces for this device for some friends too. So i I asked one of them to bring his device so I would try to extract the original rom. Tried some terminal commands, ended up bricking that one too. Then i got the third one from my third friend and i managed to make the backup through the Nandroid online backup... And that is where i am now... I need to see if i can make an executable img from this backup since the only thing i can do with these devices is press the pinhole button while inserting the usb and the flash will start with the phoenixsuit automatically (the only thing that works till now)...

Will try to find my other post so if you want you can get the whole story..

I really don't mean to come across as rude. Either it works out of the box, or it's a no go. If it works out of the box, but gets messy after rooting, don't root it. It's a TV box. Why would you need root?
[General Questions and Answers] okdockey:
As i explain in my other post, I had bought before from this seller and i bought Rockchips, which are very nice and have plenty of backup and custom roms.. I got together with some friends and ordered five the first time because i would get a discount.. Then the friends of the friends were interested and I ordered five more but this time i got Allwinners.. I did not buy one after another dude.. I am not that stupid :) And actually, i did not discussed rooting here.. The devices were rooted already (for better or for worse) and of course i would not care to root them since they are just for video watching.... I am just looking around for fresh ideas... Since the device was rooted i was able to make back up from one of the working sticks.. The thouht was to put that backup to the other two non working sticks since they are exactly identical.. I just don't see any way to do that because it can only be done within a recovery rom that supports backup/restore.... I am now also exploring if there are allwinner firmwares that come with a custom recovery... so once i installed it, i will be able to reboot into that custom recovery and restore from my original back up.. At this point, i try every piece of idea that comes to my mind to work around these Allwinners limitations...

I agree with [MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION], I don't know why you started with any kind of customizing on a TV stick in the first place, I've tried to help you get your original firmware but with no success, then you brought in another one and wanted a way to pull your original from it to fix the other and you failed in that process also, so why try with a third device, its obvious that you should have just left them alone, would could you really have gained by doing these customizations that you tried on the first, the one that started the whole mess? I don't know your device either but if you have any chance at all in fixing this it will be if you find your original firmware or find the correct method for extracting the working firmware from a working device which I don't think will be easy, from your previous attempt it seems clear that you only get one shot at it with each device.
