It seems that everyone is getting a performance/security update. Verizon just got one http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/03/verizon-galaxy-note-2-update-multi-window/ are we going to get another update soon? Or do we already have the performance tweaks and are just lacking the security updates?

Any idea why the the first video I ever shot with my new S4 (first Android experience ever) today - played back perfectly fine on my new S4. But when I uploaded to Facebook, played back upside-down. (shot in landscape / horizontal mode). Is there a correct way to hold it, even though it recorded and played back fine on the phone?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] killerezv:
I will be release a script for everyone who needs to S-OFF there o EVO LTE and needs to use baby racun because they are on 3.16.

I will not include baby racun as of Lady X's Request to not include in kits, distribute outside, etc. t

This script is PURELY FOR PREPPING YOUR EVO LTE FOR RABIES SHOT, IT WILL NOT GIVE YOU S-OFF

I noticed that even though unlimited.io took down all their windows support, everything in the prepping part can be done in windows, except for the last step of the EVO lte which is to run Rabies shot, which unfortunately is no longer supported by windows, which is understandable in a way

This is a one click prep tool to use before running rabies shot, this will do everything that is needed, just follow the directions as needed and it will take care of the rest

Only Requirements needed to use with Script is

Unique unlock_code.bin

Baby racun from unlimited.io

This script

And of course, no warranty, I will be cleaning it up tomorrow and will post that night, till then, later

I installed the paranoid android rom yesterday and i have problem with my sd card when i go to gallery or something it says No external storage and when i go to storage only my internal shows up...when i mount the sd card in my laptop it works perfectly...i searched for answers on google and i found that my sd card might be bricked so i searched for solution i found http://tasriri.blogspot.com/2011/01/htc-desire-usb-brick-fix.html

everything went perfect but in the end when i use the codes in terminal it says:

cant create /data/: Is a directory

help me pls :crying:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
Not seen that method. Don't know if that works.

You can try to install 4ext recovery (requires s-off), it has a usb unbrick option which I've heard to be good

That recovery is also very good at partitioning your sdcard for more app space
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicSmurf22:
how to flash the reovery? and where do i download it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Go to 4ext.net. download the apk, install it. Then from within the app u can install the recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicSmurf22:
i cant download the app from my phone cuz my phone says u need to put external storage i tried also to put it on my sd card but the file manager on my phone says no external storage... :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
go to the 4ext thread in my sig

download the recovery.img directly, it's in the first post

flash it through fastboot (read the fastboot bit here)

backup your sd card, then reboot into recovery from bootloader, try usb unbrick. also partition your sd card from there, and copy your backup back to sd

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
you need to be s-off to flash recovery. search revolutionary and follow guide.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicSmurf22:
im already s-off
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
hmm not absolutely sure then

you sure you installed all drivers properly? you may also need to enable usb debugging (not sure)

if that doesn't work, try renaming the recovery img to 'PB99IMG.zip', place it on sd card, and reboot into bootloader. it should find the file and ask if you want to flash it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
It's not that simple to make a PB99IMG.zip. You need to do more stuff. Jmcclue had a zip version of 4ext recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
it is actually very easy, all u need is "recovery.img" & "android-info.txt" files (u can get the android-info.txt file from one of the Alpharev PB99IMG hboots) then simply zip the 2 files naming it PB99IMG. Anyway 4ext recovery PB99IMG in my sig.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
hah thought one or both of you might come along if i made a mistake

anyway either of you know why EpicSmurf22 is getting a "FAILED (remote: image update error)" ? i've never seen that while using fastboot..

i'm just hoping after all of this, recovery can be flashed and solve the original sd card mount problem..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
dunno really, try the PB99IMG works most of the time. if not then extract the zip file and try flash recovery.img via fastboot (the recovery.img u have could be corrupt), if still not then try a different sdcard or could be ur phones memory is screwed up. got corrupt some how.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vijn:
So, been rooting, fiddling, installing ROMs, etc for a couple years. By no means am I an expert, I can just do research and read. I've had bootloops, and crashes, and all the same issues everyone else on this forum has had over the course of learning this stuff. So, when my phone wouldn't boot up even into recovery, I didn't sweat it at first. But, well, I've tried everything and nothing works. I can't boot, I can't charge it. Nothing works.

So, here's the breakdown.

Lt28i

Was running stock

Phone was rooted

CWM recovery

Bootloader is unlockable via regular means.

Hated it since a recent update. Phone was slow and i wanted JB. So i started the process.

I installed a new kernel, was in the process of installing a new ROM, but the instructions said to delete /system. I did.

From that point on, phone would not boot. Would not charge and would not get into recovery.

I can't connect via adb/fastboot.

It's a brick sitting on my desk. I've since gotten an HTC one, which IS AWESOME guys, but I hate having a perfectly fine piece of hardware just sitting on my desk collecting dust, (not to mention hate admitting defeat) so I'd like to get it working and either give it to a friend or sell it. Can anyone help.

Symptoms. As soon as i plug it in, the red light goes on. After about 15 minutes, the sony logo comes on with the red light off for just under 10 mins or so, then black screen and red light on. So, it's in a kernel boot-loop of sorts, but never gets past it and therefore doesn't charge. I've left it unattanded for over a week to drain the battery, hoping it'll reset, but no change. Immediately the red light goes on when plugged in. No way to boot into recovery. No way to connect to fastboot.

Any ideas?

Have tried the following:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1849170

and a bunch of others. None has worked.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cities516:
So your bootloader is locked?

You can't flash any custom kernel on locked bl.

First, connect your phone to a wall charger for whole night.

Then use Update Service or PCC to repair it.

Remember: do not connect your phone to PC until it ask you to do so.

Press vol down when connecting to PC.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vijn:
sorry, my mistake. The plan was to flash a kernel, but i never got around to it. I had looked into unlocking the bootloader, but wanted to see if I could get any good JB roms first. Sorry about that false info.

I have both let the phone die completely, or so I think, unless it keeps its charge for over a week and charged it for about 40 hours. Like I said, it does the bootloader boot loop which seems to keep it from charging. I never get to the screen where it shows the charging icon, so I can't tell, but I've definitely left it on a charger (not PC) for at least a day and a half. No go.No amount of pressing vol down works.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lewis021:
Does flashtool work on bricked phones?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AndroidHoneyComb:
Yes, Unless your device is hard bricked meaning it wont show any led or wont do anything basically
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vijn:
Well, that's why I'm hopeful, cause the led does light up immediately on plugin. And the Sony logo screen shows up for a few minutes, then disappears. I have tried flashtool, but it won't connect. No go.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AndroidHoneyComb:
Your either using flash tool wrong (Hold the down button while plugging in the usb to go in flashmode and then flash the ftf quick before flashmode restarts of being idle) The Sony logo is still there so there should be no reason to send it in until all possible repair techniques have been used
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vijn:
Well, I've used flashtool a whole bunch of times. Sure from time to time there's an issue with it, but I've tried different versions and none has been successful. And I'm very familiar with the "getting into flashmode" process. And yes, I would agree with you that if the sony logo shows up, then there's gotta be a way, but I'm telling you, it's just not happening. I've tried 100 times.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cities516:
Does Flashtool show anything after you connect your phone to PC with flashmode?

"Drivers have to be installed" or somethimg?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AndroidHoneyComb:
If you can see the Sony Logo then it has to work, Hold the down key, while plugging it in and it will show a green led... I had the same problem as you (cause I do things that sony may not like, on my phone)

1. Make sure you have the correct drivers installed.

2. Turn your phone off and unplug USB cord.

3. Hold the VOLUME DOWN button while inserting the USB cord.

4. You should see your small notification light in the top right of the phone turn green.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vijn:
Ya, first of all. I can neither turn the phone on or off. I have no control of it. It "turns on" when it wants and off when it wants. But when i say turns on, it only turn onto the sony logo screen after about 20 mins of being plugged in, when I guess the charge is just enough to allow it to start the boot process. Then the sony logo screen turns on, until that tiny charge dies and the phone turns off and the red LED comes on. Process repeats over and over again. I even put a rubber band on the phone to keep the volume down button pressed so that when the charge does reach the right level for the boot process that the vol down button will trigger recovery, but no deal. If this is the only way to get this thing working, is what you've recommended above, then phone is completely bricked, cause the phone has been like this for 2 weeks and nothing has worked. I know i have the drivers, cause up until this issue, flashtool worked fine. But the PC doesn't even recognize that there's a device plugged in at all now, cause the phone never boots. So, it's like plugging in a usb HDD that is off. I didn't really expect anyone to have a solution, cause i've done extensive research and tried almost everything I've read that seemed relevant, but I still had hope. I suspect the only way to fix it is to open it and connect directly to the mobo in some other way, but i don't have the tools or resources for that. Not even sure I can send it in to be repaired cause it's rooted. Unless someone has a eureka solution, my only option is to send it in to a 3rd party repair guy. Any other thoughts?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cities516:
The most important thing is: what have you done to your phone before?

Flash something or edit something?

To turn off your phone, long press power + vol up until 3 vibrations.

Then connect your phone to a wallcharger for whole night.

(Do not use PC cable... It won't charge much...)

Then flash stock ftf via Flashtool.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Toledo_JAB:
Just read my first 2 posts in the recovery thread sticky'd in the general section.

Then reinstall ALL drivers available in flashtool.

Then use the rubber band trick from my thread. Make sure that the rubber band pushes the button in.

Sit back and wait :) ,believe me this is the hardest step.

From my Xperia LT28at ION :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Kifsito:
I laughed at the method simplicity, and got amazed on how effective is it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jtr165:
So when you connect the phone to your PC while holding the volume down key...no green light, and its not recognized by your PC at all, right? Assuming you're using windows; does windows try to install any drivers or anything? Are you prompted in any way that a device has been connected?

and did you try the above mentioned? Hold UP and power button for like 10 seconds...you'll feel it vibrate once...then a few seconds later it should vibrate 3 times...I bricked my phone to some degree Sunday...only I had no response whatsoever...no led while charging, or otherwise...and literally no response from anything...until i tried that vibrate 3 times thing...and it booted right up after...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vijn:
NO GO!

Well, I've tried it all. [MENTION=3506348]ToledoJab[/MENTION] I've read and reread that original post a bunch of times. followed all instructions, in fact, I had read that post many times before even posting in this forum with no luck, but I thought I'd be patient and try again, Used the rubber band technique. Nothing. Seems, when the rubber band is used, the phone doesn't even start the boot process, meaning never shows the sony logo screen.

[MENTION=228393]jtr[/MENTION] what no one seems to understand is, there is absolutely no response to using the power button to turn this on or off. No vibrate, nothing. There are only 2 states. 1. When plugged into wall or PC, LED is red and after 20 mins Sony logo shows up if the vol down button isn't pressed. 2. When not plugged in no led.

Flashtool has been open for 2 days, phone has been plugged in, with rubber band. Drivers installed. Phone is never recognized because it never turns on. it's in perpetual red light on mode.

I don't know guys. I'd say this is an official brick. Not sure there's any way to fix this without opening it up. Still open to any ideas, but please read what I've posted because all the recommendations so far have been things I've already said I've tried, and numerous times. I can't imagine there's anything else to try, but thought I'd update you guys nonetheless.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jtr165:
cool, i understand.

If the volume down key is preventing it from going into that boot loop, though...it seems to be responding to physical input to some degree...

Have you tried any of this without a sim card? I know that sounds trivial, but after a full week of messing with mine a fresh sim-less start knocked out several bugs...and i hadn't read much of that on xda, but the AT&T return directions suggested a without sim boot up as the first thing to do? and at the time, i too, was dealing with some sort of varying degree of brick.

There are also varying ways to drain a permanent phone battery...i wouldn't say thats the best way to go about this, but a friend of mine has a screwed up car charger that does exactly this...which he's kept to bring his samsung nexus out of hard bricks multiple times...i'd say that's definitely a last resort though...the stuff you'd need would only be a couple bucks at radio shack i'd imagine haha.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Toledo_JAB:
If you get the Sony screen you should get in to flash mode, and I say should.

With the phone plugged in to PC with flashtool ready to flash, try to do a one vibration reset at Sony screen then immediately press and hold volume down.

Hi all,

I've got a lot of AudioOut_4 Partial Wakelock on ViperXL ROM. It drains like half of my battery.

Does anyone have any idea how to eliminate it? I have searched XDA but found no solution.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
Usually it is from a media player. I would suggest force closing all of them. If that doesn't work, reboot and see if it is still there.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fa2f:
I know it has something to do with the speakers -- but even when I use no media player and force close all opening apps it still happens. A reboot may help preventing this wakelock for a while, but after about 5 minutes it will continue to happen. Any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
read this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2171461

this thread is on the international one x forum but it can be applied to any android phone.

It's most probably a media player app, it's a popular wakelock. Post back when you figure it out.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jjblaster3:
do u use the latest version of viber? it was the one causing the audio wakelocks for me..

i noticed that if it launched automatically after boot even force closing it sometimes doesnt stop the wakelock until rebooting with it disabled..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fa2f:
Thank you exad and jjblaster3, I will try disabling viber and some other apps and report back soon.

UPDATE: installing the latest version of Viber and Skype seems to resolve this problem for me.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domemvs:
Hi guys.

I just flashed my SGSIII from Stock 4.1.2 to the latest CM10.1 nightly using CWM.

These are the steps, in chronical order, i went through:

Root device

Install CWM

Titanium Backup my apps and app data

EFS Backup

several other manual backups such as sms backup, dcim folder, whatsapp images etc.

Nandroid Backup using the CWM

Transfer all backup files to my MAC, as i don't have an external SD, just in case

Flash CM10.1, Flash Gapps, Wipe Data/factory reset, wipe davlik cache

Everything works fine, therefore copy TB Backup form Mac to device and restore it.

First of all: I didn't expect "wipe data/factory reset" to delete my complete internal storage (in the past being reffered to as sdcard0) containing all my user data like photos etc. But in fact it did! Nowhere to be found right now, which doesn't really matter as i did backup the most important stuff. But anyway...

And here comes the strange thing:

My system tells me that i have 11,35gigs of storage overall but only 6gigs can be used? :confused: The internal storage is literally empty. I don't have any files on it except my TB Backup data which is about 450-500mb. Another stange thing is that these 4 or 5 gigs of data which cannot be found anywhere (except DiskUsage) just happen to be as much data as i had on my phone before the whole flashing process.

So, I gotta ask myself: Could this be my old data? If yes, where is it to be found?

Another hint: I used the DiskUsage app to scan my internal storage. It shows me "system data" with a size of a little over 4gigs. What is that? Is this my old - but unaccessible - data?

I wanted to post a screenshot here, but I am not alowed as a new user. So here is my link 0cn[DOT]de[SLASH]ug5c

I'd be very appreciative if you could help me somehow. And yes, I did perform a search before asking, but couldn't find anything. :good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
/sdcard used to mount to /data/media/ but now its /data/media/0 so android is looking here for your data.

Basically all your 11.35 GB is in /data anyway so it accounts for /data/app, data/data (where apks are and app data) but also /data/media (now /data/media/0)

So using a file manager, look for stuff in /data/media and /data/media/0.

In data/media you should only have:

0

obb

Legacy

Often you'll find a clockworkmod folder here due to a backup

Factory reset from stock recovery / android wipes /sdcard. But clockworkmod recovery (and others) do not
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domemvs:
Thank you so much!

Indeed, a copy of my whole old data is in /data/media, so it's full with a bunch of folders, containing my old stuff including the CM.zip and the Gapps.zip etc.

According to your post, this is not right? Should I move the data somewhere?

Is there a good reason why they changed the filesystem and the folder structure in 4.2.x so massively?

And again, thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
first of all, it's not a copy, those are the original files. you can move it to /data/media/0 to be able to access it from the ROM.

the reason for the change is the multiple users feature. /0 is internal SD for the first user, /1 is for the second, and so on
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domemvs:
This makes a lot of sense! Thanks for clarification.

One last question :D

Strangely enough I found my whole old data here as well: /mnt/shell/emulated

Is there a reasonable explanation for this as well?
