Hi,

I have a specific question, but first the general problem:

I've been trying to revert to stock after stupidly deleting my backup. The phone was on Three, but is now unlocked, but the CID prevents me using the generic Euro RUU. The H3G RUUs here are all for an older version of HBOOT than the one that came with my phone (it's second hand and maybe the previous owner got an OTA update). Apparently a nandroid backup might work, but I haven't found any on the forum for my CID and HBOOT version. If you have one, please let me know.

Currently I'm running myOneV, which is close to stock.

Last thing I tried was mdiaz33685's posted stock ROMs here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2082504

I got an error when trying to install the ROM from TWRP (already flashed boot):

error: file_write: write: I/O error
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/roms/PrimoU_Europe_2.22.401.1_Stock_Rooted_ODEX_FULL.zip'
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/roms/PrimoU_Europe_2.22.401.1_Stock_Rooted_ODEX_FULL.zip'

Any idea what to do next?
[HTC One V] lefty74:
By the way, I've been following CafeKampuchia's post on overwriting the CID, and tried his method for overwriting using dd to no avail. It seems gold cards don't work, both from my experience and this thread.

Also, I would post the specific question to the thread for mdiaz's ROM, but can't until I have 10 posts.

ATT warranty doesn't cover accidental. If you have insurance contact assurion at phoneclaim.com and the deductible is $200. Samsung will have you send it in and assess the damage, call you with a quote, fix it in about 5-7 days and send it back. Don't know the price though.

So today I called Samsung and it costs 169.99 to get fixed. I called another repair service(MobileTechVideos) and once repairing the glass becomes available it will be 100.00, I know for sure it is the glass because the touch screen is fine and the scratch/crack is more unfeelable.

I just made the big switch from the iphone to galaxy s4... one complaint i have is with my work enterprise email. The iPhone was able to do conversation threading so it would only show the email message once. if i wanted to see any the replies i would select that message and then it would breakdown all other emails to select... the galaxy only puts emails in conversation order but all as separate line items. So when there are a ton of replies this gets very annoying and fills up the inbox. Does anyone know of any apps that are worth downloading that would have the conversation threading feature similar to the iphone? :confused:

A couple of weeks ago i bought a Scandisk 512MB SD card to use in my XDAII.

All has been going well untill a couple of days ago.

I decided to delete a couple of files (an XDA backup file and an MPG). However everytime i go and few teh SD card, they are always but cannot be accessed.

I have tried multiple time to delete the files, either via the XDA file explorer, or my desktop when viewing the XDA, and although the file successfully deletes everytime, it keeps reappearing.

Has anyone had this problem, or does anyone know of a way to fix it?

I do not have a dedicated card reader at the moment.

update : This procedure is no longer required, you may now go through Ting's official activation procedure and have a fully working device.Got the S4 working on Ting!1 - get the phone out of the box, run through setup but don't customize anything yet because the phone will factory reset once or more than once during the process. Also, Ting recommends that you don't root or reflash the ROM until your activation is complete.2 - hands free activation will appear. When asked if you are swapping this device for another on your Sprint account, tap "no".3 - go tothis pagesign into your Ting account and select the "bring your own device" option. From the BYOD page, select "samsung" > "my phone is not listed" since at time of this post the S4 is not officially supported by Ting. If it is listed, then do select it from the devices list. Then, enter your ESN under the battery(18 digit number) and basically just follow the prompts, but do not port a number from another carrier this causes all types of unnecessary delays, just get a new number4 - go into the dialer on the phone, and dial ##scrtn#5 - hands free activation will appear again. This time, you shouldn't be prompted about Sprint, and see the message "activation is complete" followed by a factory reset. Go through setup and continue. If you are prompted about Sprint again, are prompted for an MSL after dialing ##scrtn# or activation fails, skip to post 2, fix your problem, then continue on with these steps.6 - go into settings > system update7 - click "update profile" and wait for it to complete.8 - click "update PRL" and wait for it to complete.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeofdusk:
troubleshooting and known issues

I ran into various problems during activation.

prompted for MSL :

method 1 : call Ting. They can provide you with your MSL.

method 2 :

for when Ting's phone lines are closed

1 - type ##rtn#

2 - at the prompt, type in any random six digit number.

3 - put phone into USB debug mode

4 - connect phone to computer

5 - at the adb shell, type :

getprop ril.MSL

the displayed number is your MSL

6 - now type exit to get out of ADB shell

hands free activation appears over and over again, and asks if I'm swapping this device for one on my Sprint account :

Did you try to port a number over from another carrier? If so, your activation request is stuck so skip down to the "if all else fails" section below.

If not, try some of the following codes :

first, dial ##scrtn# a second time and see if it works.

If not, dial ##rtn# and enter your MSL, phone will reboot, clear network programming, and reset user data.

if all else fails :

Simply open a help ticket with Ting. To do this, send an e-mail to help@ting.com

in the e-mail, be sure to tell ting what the problem is, what you've tried so far to fix it, and give them both your ESN and ICCID. You can find your ICCID in settings > more > about device. You will receive periodic e-mail updates from their support team.

confirmed working by me :

voice

SMS

roaming(but no data)

tethering

portable hotspot

MMS

LTE
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitokiri-Snake:
Hello. I will be receiving my Sprint GS4 in the mail in a couple of days, and I was hoping to be able to activate it on Ting when it arrives. I currently have a S3 activated on my Ting account. Are you saying that I won't be able to keep the same number when I activate my S4? That wouldn't be a huge problem since I make all of my calls through Google Voice anyway, but it would be a pain to have to get a new number every time I get a new phone. Also, why do you say that LTE may not work? Are you not in an LTE area and cannot test it? I live in an LTE area, so I will let you know if it works for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeofdusk:
You're already a Ting customer, so avoid the entire number porting nonsense. Get your eighteen digit ESN, MSL, and ICCID ready and call Ting at 855-846-4389

If it's a weekend and you need to have your phone working as soon as possible, delete your old device and follow these steps, getting a new number of course. The LTE thing was from Rob Lake at Ting customer service, and the data roaming thing was from my own testing.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeofdusk:
I don't use MMS that much, so wouldn't be able to tell you if it works.

I'm running CM10.1 right now on my S4. Again, not totally tested yet. Voice works in both directions, data seems to work, not sure about SMS or MMS. however, and this is important, you

must

be on stock for an activation to work properly else you will run into all types of problems.

Samsung Galaxy S4 (Sprint) & Ting Service

I have a new galaxy s4 from Sprint but I can no longer add this phone with Ting Service since they stopped the BYOD for this S4, I tried in the Ting page but the ESN is not accepted, called Sprint several times and its a clean ESN, also had the phone unlocked but that still doesn't work. Called Ting and apparently they have problems accepting S4's not bought through them.

Is there anything I can do to my S4 to be able to add it to Ting Service?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phone Oblivious:
Hello

I just registered for this site. I watched the video explaining to me that I'm a noob, and appreciated it. It put me in my place.

I have a Samsung Galaxy s II (for at&t; SGH-i777)

It is about a year and a half old.

I have not rooted it, everything on it is as if it were out of the box. Nothing is changed from the default settings.

I have upgraded to 4.0.4 though.

About a couple days ago, the power button stopped responding completely. I took out the battery and reinserted it which caused the phone to restart but did nothing for my problem. I have called Samsung (they told me to send it in for repairs: costing $70) I would love to get it repaired without sending it in or parying that amount. I have seen options of getting it rooted, downloading an app to transfer the powere button function over to the Volume down button function, but I don't really know how to go about that.

Therefore, I ask you, O'people of XDAdevelopers, do I have any other options? I did search the site for a problem similar to mine, but everyone else has their phone rooted. I am also unfamiliar to any technical terms. I am a noob to the fullest. I don't know how to root the device or even what things would be neccessary to root it.

Any help would be much appreciated it. I am willing to do anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsmboost:
As far as rooting and finding software workarounds, you can easily find all of that info by searching and looking at the stickies.

From a hardware perspective, I would recommend taking apart the back shell of the phone, and try to see if the power button responds by pressing it without its plastic cover piece.

Hey man thanks for the help. I didn't get a chance to try out your method. A couple days ago, I woke up and the problem was completely gone. The power button was fully-functional and my phone was working perfectly.

Unfortunately, today, my phone has started acting up again. It keeps restarting on its own. It shuts down while I'm using it and it restarts. Nothing seems different so I start using the phone again, and it happens again (it restarts). Its restarted today around 7 times. My power button is functional at the moment, but I remember this exact sequence of events leading up to my initial problem where the phone's power button stopped responding.

What do you recommend?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phone Oblivious:
Thanks for the help.

I have no such ability. I could follow instructions but I myself am not good with that type of stuff. Fortunately though, this wasn't necessary. The power button started working on its own again without me having to do anything. Everything was fine until today, my phone has started acting up again. It keeps restarting on its own. It shuts down while I'm using it and it restarts. Nothing seems different so I start using the phone again, and it happens again (it restarts). Its restarted today around 7 times.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phone Oblivious:
Wait.. so even though the phone is working fine today, there's still the possibility that its going to completely fail? It stopped restarting on its own once I took the cover off. I had the Otterbox cover for SGH-i777 on it, but once I removed the cover, the phone has been working fine. Do you think there's a connection between the cover and the restarts? (I would post the link for the otterbox cover to show you, but I can't post links since I'm still a newcomer)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jthatch12:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jthatch12:
Possibly. I was experiencing reboots months ago with a trident case. I'm now using no case and haven't had any issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] maninblack86:
First off, have you checked to see if there’s another update? There were two 4.0.4 updates released for this phone. There was one back in January, I believe, that introduced the sleep of death problem, as well as causing a lot or seemingly random reboots. Some of the problems you describe definitely sound like these. They released another update around March that was supposed to fix these problems. That update is also 4.0.4, but should be UCLL6.

The power button issue is also a well known problem. When mine starts acting up, the first thing that happens is I’ll press the power button and the power menu will come up as if I’m holding the button down. Then a few seconds later, the phone will reboot and usually the power button doesn’t work after. It’s likely a design defect and will fail eventually, but there is a solution, if only temporary, that has worked for me and several others. If it starts happening again, pull your battery and press the power button repeatedly. Some people have gone so far as to press it several hundred times. I usually only press it a couple dozen times, but the problem does comes back for me eventually and I have to do it again. Interestingly, most of the people I've seen reporting this power button problem have had it start in the last couple months, around the year and a half mark. Not trying to say anything, but very awkward it started happening right as the Galaxy S4 was announced :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Malaranu:
I had this problem and tried all the workarounds but they didn't seem to work or was buggy. I ended up having to send it in to Samsung for them to fix it (luckily it was still under warranty). It ended up being a hardware issue so you may need to send it in to repair if you cannot fix it yourself with the methods in this post.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] awoolf:
I had almost the exact same problem with my Sprint Galaxy S II (Epic Touch). (Random reboots every couple of days, which got progrssively worse. Eventually, I noticed that just brushing the power button would cause the phone to reboot ~10sec later.) It ended up being a bad power button, and replacing it resolved the issue.

How handy are you with a soldering iron? If you're pretty good, you can buy the AT&T i777 S2 switch for about ten bucks and replace it yourself. (You can also try cleaning it for free - several tutorials here at XDA. The Samsung "Captivate" and "Epic 4G Touch" have similar switches and and the same problems. Search both forums.)

Several eBay sellers have the switch you'll need. (They don't provide the skills needed to solder it in place - but your AT&T phone will be easier than the I897 Captivate or D710 Epic Touch. Your switch is similar, but a larger size.)

UPDATE: Several eBay sellers now offer mail-in repair services! (If you don't have mad soldering skills, you can still get your phone fixed:

I've having that problem on mine it's still on Gingerbread. The power button seems to be clicking normally, it doesn't seem stuck. Yet anytime I stick my battery in it automatically cuts on and the screen seems to shut off without responding to the power button. I cannot reboot the device. I cannot turn the screen off/on without plugging it in or unplugging it from charger.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
You could remove the power button entirely and rely on the Gravity Screen On/Off app I linked above. I have never tested it on GB but it should work, as It relies on the sensor. Removing the power button shouldn't be difficult at all, as you can access it by removing the battery and there are several tutorials on how to do that (i9100 tutorials will work just as good).

Perhaps some of these ideas will work for you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
My current phone has a failed power button. I didn't bother removing the power button, as it is unnecessary. I use Gravity Screen, and an app called Power Menu to replace the power button long press menu. I just pull the battery to turn the phone off, and for rebooting. Works acceptably well.

Of course the other option is to have the power button replaced, which is about $40 plus shipping, but this phone is so old it is hardly worth it.
