Please please please help me My Galaxy s3 d2vzw will not turn on custom rom slimkat

My Galaxy s3 d2vzw will not turn on custom rom slimkat 4.4.4. So about 3 days ago i decided to put a custom rom onto my gs3 and i have learned alot but i just ran into a problem when i tried to flash a new modem to slimkat 4.4.4. The image caused my phone to not turn on anymore and i was hoping someone could please help me get my phone to turn on. Its kind of weird because when i plug my phone into my computer, my computer beeps and acts like it recognizes my phone. And when i press the power button for about 40 to 60 seconds while it is pluged into my computer it beeps like it just got something disconnected but when i let go of the button the computer beeps like something just got plugged into it. pleeeeeeaaasse if anyone can help please do its my only phone and i was getting tired of the crappy touch wiz.

You have selinux permissive and compulsion so I know you have root and custom recovery, ota is gone dude. Once you root, unless you Odin a stock factory image, you are now responsible for your own updates

I know [MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION] already threw out a great thought but I was also wondering what kernel are you running and do you have it oc or UV?

I rooted my Sprint note 3 per instruction video from here & all was well with the world. I did nothing else tweak-wise, but suddenly now, about a month or so later, messenger is sending 15 copies of same msg & phone is hesitating when using any kind of text or number. Switched messenger now messages getting through sporadically. Sound is up & down also sporadic. Everything is hesitating, or snagging... & battery drainage is phenomenal. Any ideas?? Please help. Real noob
[General Questions and Answers] :
I would try unrooting for a while, see if that helps

Possible virus?
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
And you are still on the stock ROM and firmware? Weird.

Personally, I would try flashing a different/custom ROM to see if the problem persists. Of course, make a backup first so you can go back if you want to, or if you encounter any issues with the new one.

You could also try clearing data and cache in settings > apps > messenger. It might clear up that part of your problem.

Virus?

LOL!!

The Android virus warnings that Apple users like to refer to is a non issue.

There is almost zero percent chance of a virus infecting your device.

You might get spyware or adware, but a virus? hahahaha No.

Just a suggestion. A guy i work with had severe battery drainage amd he had some app installed that was burning through his battery. We un installed it and works good now. I'd consider that app a virus since he didn't load it on his on Knowingly. Idk not a tech expert just offering advice
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
I agree with you. The battery issues are probably due to an app. [MENTION=5039594]yssgrrl[/MENTION], check your battery stats in settings. You could also install wakelock detector from the play store to help you find what is draining your battery.

[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Sounds like you flashed a modem that wasn't meant for your device.

If that is the case, you are probably hard bricked.
[General Questions and Answers] chuckiev79:
I have a strange google question as this is seems to be a general catch all q-n-a so i guess I will ask here. I have read about a pico gapps that only has google services and the playstore. One thing that drives me crazy about google services is that it will randomly open google apps in the background. I.e. google books, google movies and tv..ect. if one had this micro gapps package would this still happen if these apps were present but installed from playstore? Or is this something that is just built in to google play services that is unavoidable.

I encountered a similar situation where I hard bricked my phone due to a kernel that did not belong to my device. Here is a link to the thread that helped me work it out. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2528444
[General Questions and Answers] :
If I'm not mistaken, this problem of yours won't be fixed even if you install those apps from Play instead of the packaged version. This is mainly because, as you said, this "feature" is built into the Play services.

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

Dirty as in an "unclean" shutdown?

There really aren't too many visible consequences - I'm sure that the log gets a red error entry or something of the sort, but other than that, you're all good.

A word to the wise, Quite a number of users of the Sandisk 64g class 10 card are experiencing unexpected failures of these cards. The manufactor will replace the defective card, IF you have the receipt showing date of purchase with and return the card to the where you bought it or to Sandisk directly within a year of purchase. Symptoms of failure include unable to read from the card or write to the card. You might get a error similar to what KitKat users are seeing about Google's change in writes to external media. Or as is my case, you get errors while attempting to format the disc either in the phone or if done by a computer. Even if you get a successful format, if you look at it in a file manager, all of your files are still intact and very accessible. I am trying to get the word out as there is no software fix for this and Sandisk still implies these failures are the fault of the consumer or they are still trying to gather information to diagnose the issue. Buyer be aware and review all of your options instead of Sandisk. Keep your receipts too.

Try Nova Launcher to replace your home screen. It has a polished customizable interface. They are still updating it regularly too. There are a number of addons to configure it to your liking. Plus, you can backup your setup too. Gary

Hey guys...I'm on stock sony rom right now but I rooted my phone and enabled advanced reboot menu using an xposed module. Since I don't have a recovery, what would happen if I accidentaly pressed "reboot to recovery"? And also what would happen if I rebooted to bootloader?

I know it's a dumb question but I'm pretty concirned about it because I don't want to brick my phone by accident :confused:

HELP!!

I am a noob with big dreams.

I want to create an s5 themed rom based on cm11 and have no idea where to start. I have the base cm11.

Will someone please point me in the right direction so i can make a great rom??
[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
You don't flash the ROM over your primary ROM. After you have your primary ROM setup, you get multirom up, going and updated including multirom twrp. You then drop to recovery/advanced/multirom and add your secondary ROM there.

Did you read the thread for it? Is all laid out in there.

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

Sounds bricked

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

Your phone is cranky when you not it back up, of your running custom kernel and control and like things, they won't load their not settings, etc. Stuff like that.

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

Greenify it all. Works perfectly for me because I got tired of Google eating my battery. Downside is you have to log into play store once every couple days to check for updates.

You do have recovery, it might be stock, but you have it. Leave your bootloader alone unless you know what you're doing.

Why have the 4 way reboot menu if you're not using it?
[General Questions and Answers] finac94:
Because I need it for reboot and soft reboot :S

btw...Sony phones don't have a stock recovery like Samsung phones, so that's why I was asking what would've happened.
[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
From twrp? You choose add ROM, choose type, etc, etc. It's actually to easy. Is the ROM you're trying to use made for your specific device? I run cm11 as my primary along with lollipop and Linux touch as secondary Roms on my nexus 7 and it works great.

Read the thread carefully and reread it because everything is laid out there. I won't give much more advice because you can mess up your whole device if you don't know what you're doing. The Dev has his disclaimer up and very well written directions.

Hi all, i want help.

I have application "2LINES FOR WECHAT". The problem is that it supports only 9 accounts(latest added).

Means if i add 10th account and then changes the line to 1st account, it opens 2nd account.

So, i want the application to support more than 9 accounts.

I contacted developer of the app but doesn't know how to do this.
[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
You can do all that from terminal emulator as well. Most apps that require hard or soft reboots offer it. Last Sony I messed with (xperia something or other) had a recovery mode.

Besides that, it reboot sends a command that your device doesn't like, it will hard reboot and tell you had a dirty shutdown.

Android NOOB

Hey guys, I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I am completely non-technical, but I am participating in an event where I have the opportunity to form a team of people to build a mobile application. I want to build an Android app, but I need to have knowledge of what specific SKILLS I need my team to posses, in order to build the app. So for example, if I wanted to build a team of people to create an app like Tinder (not doing that of course, but just saying) then who would I need?

Front end developer? Back end developer? (not too familiar on these). A designer? Anyone else? I'm kind of a fish lost on land, so if anyone has any info, it would SERIOUSLY help me out. Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
This isn't just a reply to you, but to all kids in general, who's parents have bought their phone for them.

The M8 cost $700. So when you figure that you want to root and do some modding, keep that in mind.

Be VERY CAREFUL, and don't try do stuff until you fully understand the instructions.

Your next phone may be a flip phone., Or better yet, no phone at all.

Ask yourself this question: "Do I have $700 to replace this brick so Mom and Dad don't get mad?"

You are obviously not thinking of all the scenarios that can occur (phones on silent, sleeping, etc) which would prevent one from pressing 9.

well at least they were trying to fix it themselves without going for allot of help. it say that they want to fix their own problems. Now I'm only close to being a "legal" "Adult" and am almost ready to go to collage to get my (hopefully) Engineering degree. And yet i still try to fix my own problems, and do things on my own.... I was the first one in my family to get a job ( I am also the youngest(which sucks by the way)) I was the first to get a smartphone (excluding my 25 year old step brother of course). I am also the only tech savvy chilled in my family who is mostly (almost all) Girls (excluding the husbands) and from that I learned the importance of manners and being gentlemanly. I am also the only one in my family who has built a computer (including my Electrical Engineer step father), and i built that with my own money. When I was around 3 my parents separated and i don't know what it is like living with my dad, because of my parents divorce my mom got custody even though my dad was more financially capable of it. Therefore i grew up mowing lawns and raising money for myself for when i got to go visit my dad in California. But until i was introduced to my moms new husband my step dad (that sometimes I think of him more of a father than my own) we were very financially unstable. I was bullied allot as kid, in fact one year i was beat up literally every day i went to school. This was because i could not defend myself and also because of being bullied in previous years I became a pacifist, I did not have allot of friends and the friends i did have i haven't seen for almost 6 years. But now I have lots of friends and i pride myself in being a "Nerd" and a "Geek" this is because someday all of those people who call kids like me nerds will see how important people like us are to the world. And some day i plan to be a very good engineer in the field i find i like best.

I'm sorry for the speech but I don't like it when people presume things about me or anybody else.
