[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madawcisrich:
Hello everyone, so I received my I9500 octacore version today. When I try to check my CSC: I see I9500XXUAMDE as PDC, and I9500OJVAMDC as CSC. When I go to check this on Sammobile, they told me that this is Afghanistan Firmware. What does this mean exactly? What is the CSC, and why is my firmware Afghanistan, does it mean that my phone was build there?

By the way, i import this from a US ebay seller http://www.ebay.com/itm/200921143337?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

If someone can explain me about all this, Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
May be it was build else were and was suppose to be dispached to Afghanistan. its international version and u can flash other firmware which are available for 9500 will not make much of diffnce i suppose

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgstcola:
I just got my phone back from repair because it had a problem with the usb port. Now I'm having issues with sleep of death and random reboots. Today I had a reboot and after the reboot suddenly the battery showed 10% and the clock was wrong. Now it shows the real battery level again and the correct time.

Could the repair shop have messed up my phone? Never had any such issues before...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Warranty or paid for?

If warranty, ask for a new one.

If you paid for the fix, tell em that they screwed with while doing god knows what.

HI guys me again, heres the story, i went into cwm recovery, wiped everything i could in it, booted to download mode, flashed terrasilent through odin, i had it set to auto reboot so it did that and its stuck on the terrasilent screen, cant get into download mode, when will i learn lol :(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
if you wiped everything, that means you wiped /system which means you have no OS anymore.

take out the battery --> put it back in --> hold power and volume down --> and flash a rom via odin/heimdall

Is there any news whether Xda III has been released on the market ? 'coz as i know, it would be released this month.

Need suggestion here...should i change my Xda II to Xda III ? Although there are not many differences, but additional QWERTY keypad and built-in WiFi might be considered. Or...should i wait for Xda IV which rumours say will be released on the first half of 2005 ? Suggestions would be very appreciated :)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] killercheung:
If you need WIFI, change it.

If you need keyboard, change it.

If you don't need them, why waste the money for a device has the same fuction?

BTW, the new Black XDAIIs looks cool , maybe it's the point to change my XDAII -> XDAIIs.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Anton.Valleyman:
Was just thinking the same thing...plus if u sell your II then it'll cost less to get a IIs and when you come to sell the IIs (eventually) you'll have a newer unit to play with to upgrade to the theoretical IV!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Testimo85:
Is XDA IIs the same with XDA III ?? How about XDA IIi ?? I seem lost with these two.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
there is no device called xdaIII

the xdaIIi is what is also called mda3

xda1 mda1, qtek1010.... are Wallaby devices

xda2, mda2 qtek2020.... are Himalaya devices

xdaIIi, mda3 and ,...... are blue angel devices

all made by htc and oem'd by different other companies calling them what ever they feel like
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] georkal:
O2 announces two new xda devices!

Check this out!

The official announcement of O2!

They also claim to release a new model at the start of 2005 called xda IIi that would have :

- 520MHz Intel PXA270 processor

- 1.3 megapixel camera

That's sounds interesting ;).Maybe i will upgrade my new xda2 (just bought 2 weeks ago) when they release that one....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jimmietilt:
As soon as the at&t 4.1.2 jelly bean update was available i had it flashed, and for the most part, im happy, not as snappy as the 4.2.2 rom releases but HDMI out works on it along with the other bells and whistles.... what i was wondering was when do we start seeing roms that are based on that att release...is it the source code that the devs are waiting on? Just curious......the devs do an amazing job, its unreal...i give them so much credit..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
here's one...

So we're starting to see already.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Anthony820:
I'm hoping AOSP based roms actually start taking advantage of our 4.1.2 kernel soon. Granted, CM merged some stuff from it, but from what I read in the CM nightly thread, they'd have been better off with the blobs and bases they were using rather than trying to merge all the skyrocket stuff. Perhaps they think more longterm than I, though.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scotman57:
Hey guys, looking for some assistance here as I am at a complete loss.

Decided tonight to root my 4.2.2 Nexus 10 using the Nexus Rootkit v1.6.3 and the aid of a YouTube video. All went swimmingly up until the TWRP wipe. The video I followed failed the wipe attempt and the guy showed how to get the N10 out of the bootloop and do a 'wipe data/factory reset' via Recovery Mode in the Bootloader and then restart.

Problem is, my wipe never failed like his did in the video (great I thought!) and so I restarted after that and now I find my N10 booting up to the Google Logo (with the padlock at the bottom) and it just sits there. Doesn't even get to the 'X' logo which should come after.

I've tried a few things including the manual wipe data/factory reset from the bootloader and restart but everytime it gets stuck at the Google Logo. I am also now at the point where my N10 doesn't show in Device Manager as it did before. It now shows under 'Portable Devices' as a 'MTP USB Device'.

I am really at a loss here and searching various solutions is just confusing me even more and would appreciate it if someone could help me out, even just getting back to stock for now. That's if it isn't goosed?

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmatty:
Have you tried using a different usb port on the PC, and rebooting the PC?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scotman57:
I have yeah. Left my PC off overnight and went back to it again this morning and same issue.

Plug it into the PC (this time using a USB port on the back) and it initially comes up 'installing device driver software' quickly followed by 'device driver software was not installed successfully', quickly followed by 'installing device driver software' again and that's when it shows up in Device Manager as 'MTP USB Device' under Portable Devices, whereas before during the root attempt it was show as 'Nexus 10'.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmatty:
When I first read the subject line I thought it was "another one of these" where OP hadn't searched on the existing boards. But when I read OP I see you did try "the usual suggestions". Hoping a more seasoned pro jumps in here to help...

I can say that on the handful of "really bad" posts like this that I've seen they usually end with the person saying something like "well I don't know what happened I just kept trying all the power button / charge recommendations and finally it worked" - so don't underestimate the effectiveness of repeatedly trying it like a mad man!

Some random suggestions I have that may help:

-Can you leave it on, on the Google screen, to where the battery 100% drains, maybe this could act as a "battery pull"

-Try a different USB cord

-Try rebooting it via the power buttons while the device is plugged into the wall charger

-Download the Android SDK, then use its "update manager" to update its USB drivers to today's definitions

-Try another PC

Good luck!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scotman57:
Thanks for the suggestions bigmatty, I'll certainly give them a go when I get in later.

I think my biggest concern is that there doesn't seem to be any OS on it, possibly to do with the wipe during TWRP and then I rebooted - was I supposed to reboot at that stage? That's where I got into this loop. And now it doesn't detect it as 'Nexus 10' in my Device Manager on my main PC. Only this MTP USB Device - sometimes showing a conflict warning triangle, sometimes not and no longer showing as a storage device in My Computer.

I did connect it to my Netbook (Running XP) earlier and it detected it as an 'Android Device' under Other Devices in Device Manager. Tried installing it with the naked drivers on the Android SDK and it now lists it under 'Android Device' in my Netbook's Device Manager as a 'ADB Device' (I think, would need to double check as I'm not on it at the moment.)

I just want to find some way of getting it back to factory settings and stock OS if possible and then take it from there again. Don't fancy at £319 paperweight! I'm usually alright with these things too.

Thanks again (And if anybody else has any other input in the meantime I would be grateful - I'll try anything at this stage!)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmatty:
I'd say its a good thing that the PC exhibits varying behavior - because that means there is still hope! :)

It really boils down to if you can open an adb.exe shell to the device. Can you? It would not be when its showing as MTP but it would be when its showing as adb in Device Manager. If you can then here is a thread where I explain (pretty good, I think) how to get back to stock:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2185123

Now I realize Im not clear on a second avenue - can you still get into TWRP?

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scotman57:
Can't really get into much on the Tablet itself. It boots up, gets to the Google logo (with the padlock symbol at the bottom suggest it has been partially rooted (?)). I can get into the Bootloader by holding down the Power + 2 vol buttons. Once in the Bootloader I have the options of Start/Power Off/Recovery Mode/Restart Bootloader.

When I go into Recovery Mode I can get access to the blue menu where I get the options to restart/something about adb/wipe data/factory reset/delete cache partition (paraphrasing here).

Don't know how many times I've tried the wipe data/factory reset option and reboot but always get sent back to the same loop.

I'll give you're other idea a shot as well later. Thanks again.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scotman57:
bigmatty, you the man!

Managed to get back to factory stock following yours and styckx's guidelines. Couple of little teething problems along the way but nothing I couldn't get around.

I now have a fully functioning Tablet again and I thank you for it.

Might give the Rooting a miss for now but if I come back around to the idea I'll be sure to follow the guides on here this time instead.

Thanks a bunch again for taking your time out to reply to my thread and get me back up and running again. :good:

wipe cache

apply update from cache

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jason Roach:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
You're still on the stock recovery. Uncheck auto-reboot then flash the CWM tar again. Once it says Pass/Reset, unplug, pull the battery, then try booting into recovery again. It should look different now.

Did this work ? the "Pass/Reset" Took awhile to show in my experience.

It worked. thank you so much! so I currently have a verizon s3. will flashing the Vrbmb1 bootchain bring back the sms text notifications on the lock screen? I would really like to have that back. dont know why verizon got rid of it in the first place
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
No problem. No, flashing the bootchain has absolutely no impact on features within the rom. Honestly, idk how to reintroduce those into your system properly. Maybe there's a mod in the theme & apps section?

Enjoy the rooting world!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Most TW roms have the bubbles re-enabled. Hack must be rom specific tho as it mods several rom specific system files. There is an old hack that brings them back but is no longer recommended as it jacks with carrier network side. :cool:
