worth a shot. If no one has tried it by the time I make it home I'll try modifying the gapps zip to mount
[Ouya Android Development] professorpoptart:
I'm hoping we don't have to edit the gapps script at all, I think that update script uses fstab to mount system, so as long as recovery is correct I'm hoping it just works.

edit: is there a post with the new recovery build? The only one I see looks like its before the post where it had the right fstab...
[Ouya Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
I see what you mean, The updater-script for the gapps just mounts system, doesn't say where it is. like i said, for music.zip i just downloaded a sample from a tutorial and added the files, mostly to see if the flash would happen. My restore worked perfectly, so I'm going to flash gapps now. cross your fingers!

Note that mybook4's CWM recovery.img from post 16 is what I'm using.
[Ouya Android Development] mybook4:
I noticed someone thanked the post with the music zip. Might want to take that down before someone else flashes it.
[Ouya Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
Thanks for the heads up. So i flashed gapps, flash worked fine, it booted up, did the "your OUYA is upgrading" thing for a bit, then setupwizard.apk crashed. I deleted setupwizard.apk from system/app and the launcher popped up, and there was google play. I opened it, and was greeted by the welcome site of the "add a gmail account" wizard. I put in my account info with no problems, but then, alas, google play crashed. Now whenever I reboot I get the "Your OUYA is upgrading" and it optimizes apps for about 45 seconds. I also get 5-8 popups saying the process "com.google.process.gapps" has stopped, and google play store has stopped before it settles down.

I have attached a copy of the 4.1.2 gapps.zip with setupwizard.apk removed for your convenience.

[Ouya Android Development] mybook4:
So it sounds like the cwm recovery works well. I'll post some final instructions and we can open a new thread for getting the Play store working.
[Ouya Android Development] FrostyWolf:
Nice work guys! Soon as the guides up I'll run through it and let you know how it goes. Already have SuperUser, Busybox and wireless adb setup.
[Ouya Android Development] sonofskywalker3:
I'd suggest for the sake of ease, you go ahead and post a new thread we can get stickied with the method to install CWM, and the recovery.

I'm currently working on a "getting started" package to flash to a stock ouya once cwm is installed that will include the basics like Hulu, Netflix, Nova Launcher, Pandora, Play Music, ES File Explorer, and the Amazon App Store. I'll play more with the Play store later and start a new thread unless you beat me to it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hmoobguy:
So.. I recently flashed a ASOP ROM with I9300 unknowingly onto my I535 GS3 phone (I was a bit too eager to flash and didn't look closely) Stupid me! :(. It didn't reboot after the flash and didn't respond to the power buttons!! OMG! I panicked a little and went researching on XDA forums. Soon I came to realize that I, the idiot, had hard bricked my GS3. I'm so glad I read XDA and found these guys. I quickly made a purchased and sent my phone in the very next hour of knowing I bricked it. I shipped it on Tuesday the 14th of May, they received it on Friday the 17th, worked on it and sent it out on Tuesday the 21st. I received my phone today on the 23rd! Simply amazing it is saved and I am back to ROOTED, restored my previous backup in TWRP and back in business.

I've flashed many many phones and different versions of ROM before but never had a Hard Brick, although I've encountered one soft brick before but easily recovered by using ODIN but nothing like this.. I'm really glad these guys exists! Otherwise i'd have to buy a new phone. So all in all $60 is better than spending >$300. :good:

Word of Wisdom. NEVER EVER Flash a I9300 onto your US Variant (in my case a I535 Verizon phone). It will hard brick! Lessons learned are hard to come by. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Addiso:
It's pretty much everywhere to not flash a room that isn't categorized by your device because they all have different files and such. Just glad you got your device working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I wonder if Verizon would have replaced it for a refurb.

Save yourself $60

but I agree, that's pretty sweet deal for $60 to get it back working.

Props to those guys.

I know you won't be flashing a ROM without knowing it's made for that phone again :)

sometimes we all gotta learn the hard way.

I've never bricked (yet.. knock on wood)

I can only imagine the terror once you rebooted and instead of a ROM you got a paperweight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hmoobguy:
Unfortunately I didn't buy any replacement insurance, no squaretrade either. Well, next time i'll just stick to the ROMS i know that works. :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hmoobguy:
Yeah, i'm glad it can be resurrected.

hi

sorry for writing in caps

actually i am new in the forum and in rooting also.

please can you tell me full that full ftf what is it and from where and how to flash it ,as i m not an expert

please please!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasim9283:
OK its done thanks

ok thanks bro for the guidence but now its like factory stat brand new

again i have to root,install cwm and then UHD

so i felt "E-root"is easiest for rooting

"x-parts"is easiest for CWM

and then simple onwards but upto UHD3.0.2

(still i am not sure for the cause either not wiping dalvik or unsuppoerted stock kernel for viper v5 rom please guide)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangosierra_:
Yes you have to re root and re install cwm because the ftf file is the full stock firmware that returns phone to factory settings

For viper/UHD just copy ROM into SD, boot into CWM, wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache before installing. You cannot flash any custom kernel because you do not have an unlocked boot loader.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasim9283:
it means dalvik cache should be wiped?

so you mean that when i flashed viper ,i did not wipe dalvik thats why it gone to bootloop ,can you little explain please bcoz i want to know why after 1st start it was ok,but 2nd reboot only it gone to bootloop?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GenieLeo:

[Nook Touch General] ctasich:
I rooted my NTG using the NookManager a while back. I didn't have any problems and really hadn't used my NTG until recently. However, today I went to use it and couldn't access the B&N Shop. I proceeded to do an erase and deregister assuming it would just unroot and I could go back to normal. However, now when I go through the registration process at start up I get:

"ERROR: Sorry we're having trouble setting up your NOOK. Please shutdown the device and try again." In the bottom left corner it says "B-bind failure."

I called B&N and they deregistered my device for me. I figured that would fix it, but it still did not. The only thing I can think of was that somehow my serial number is different after the root? Any thoughts on fixing this? I've seen others fix it with a hard reset, but that hasn't worked for me. :(
[Nook Touch General] ctasich:
Problem solved. I finally managed to interrupt the power cycle 8 times in a row and the original firmware was reinstalled successfully!
[Galaxy S 4 General] plasmastate:
Hi guys.

I am going to list the common issues with my i9500.

Got it 2 weeks back and have been testing it thoroughly. Currently on latest ME1 firmware.

1.Overheating

2.Camera Crash

2b. New crash issue: open camera, go to settings, press the mic (sound) button and the camera crashes.

3.Phone turns off all by itself.

(Hapenned twice in two weeks)

4.When the phone is turned on again, the battery levels jumps down to 10-15 percent less of what it was before. It is also displayed in the settings battery status graph.

5.When the volume is set to max during a call through earpiece, the slight vibration made because of the sound emission is felt on the back of the device (in a cheap way) every s4 has this issue.

6.Launcher redraw (Even after updated ME1 firmware but its improved and only seen when doing heavy muktitasking)

7. Screen smearing issue.

8. Slight pinkinsh/purple tone on the lower right half of the screen when the brightness is set to lowest.

9. Flash light less bright than other phones eg nexus or s3

10. Camera Lag when opening

10a. Shutter lag when taking photos

11. Gallery lag when opening

12. Dialer lag

13. Contact app lag

14. When the keyboard is popped out on say a white web page, the screen does a slight brightness adjustment that it almost feels like a screen flicker on low brightness. Then it changes colour tone from reddish to greenish.

15. Notification bar ocassionally stutters when pulled down or pushed back up.

Whoever gets any of these issues please keep confirming or adding any more issues I missed. All these issues are currently present in alot of brand new s4 units worldwide.
[Galaxy S 4 General] DesertHawk:
Erm, I have come across any of these. Try this to reduce 'lag'

- Open S voice and go in to the S Voice settings and untick 'open via home button'

- Go to developer options and change all the animation/window/transition scales to 0.5x

See how that works. Also exchange it for a different S4 if you have those problems. Are you rooted? If so try stock rooted and see if that was a software issue

In the quote section is the list of the issues I'm encountering on my S4 9500 vers. I have to mention that my phone reboots when the camera crashes. Another issue would be the battery life (10-12 hrs with 2 hrs screen time on).

I believe all of these issues are easily solvable via a firmware update. Hurry up Sammy.

[Galaxy S 4 General] [^IcEmAn^]:
Did anyone notice that sometimes soft-keys (back, menu at the bottom) are not responding? Happened to me twice (in two weeks), so I had to turn the screen off and on to make it work. Or is it just software issue (I'm using Omega 3.0 ROM and faux03 kernel). Device is 9505 :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] cmd512:
On my 9500, I'm getting random disconnects from the network (all bars + 3G disappear with a no network / circle with a bar through it icon showing) and comes back a few seconds later. This seems to happen more after I move to a new area and when I bring the phone out of sleep.

I really can't blame the networks I'm on or SIMs I'm using as all that remained the same from my 9300 S3, which had zero such issues.

Getting very close to returning my specific device as it may be defective, especially if none of you 9500 users are seeing this.
[Galaxy S 4 General] forzanetti:
I discovered these problem with gf's i9500. it's only one week old though (the phone, not the gf :p). The camera lag is very serious IMO, sometimes it took a good 2-3 seconds for the camera to launch. totally unacceptable for such a high end device. There's also occasional stutter while scrolling the app drawer or home screen. I've disabled screen animation and s-voice shortcut, bud did not see too much of an improvement.

These problems really surprised me. I've actually never paid too much attention on samsung phones (didn't like touchwiz). Seeing how successful the Galaxy series are, I did not object when my gf went to get the S4 (tried convincing her to get the Nexus 4 at first). But this phone turns out to be a big disappointment (for me).

Now I understand why with all these problems, the S4 still managed to sell 10 million units in the first month alone. Average users like my gf doesn't really care about these issues. They see a phone with big screen, good camera, a Galaxy name on it, and they're sold.
[Galaxy S 4 General] prodigyX:
1.Overheating - Not since I updated to ME1

2.Camera Crash - My camera has not crashed since day 1

3.Phone turns off all by itself.

(Hapenned twice in two weeks) - Same as #2; Has not happened to me once

4.When I turn the phone on again, the battery levels jumps down to 10-15 percent less of what it was before. It is also displayed in the settings battery status graph. - N/A - Phone has never shut itself down or restarted itself

5.When the volume is set to max during a call through earpiece, the slight vibration made because of the sound emission is felt on the back of the device (in a cheap way) every s4 has this issue. - Honestly have not noticed this at all

6.Launcher redraw (Even after updated ME1 firmware but its improved) - Not noticable to the extent that it bugs me

7. Screen smearing issue - I definitely have this issue - Noticeable a lot when scrolling through wallpapers in Zedge, for example

8. Slight pinkinsh/purple tone on the lower right half of the screen when the brightness is set to lowest. - Any colour tinting /shifting that occurs when on low brightness is evenly distributed, nothing extra on lower right half

9. Flash light less bright than other phones eg nexus or s3 - Flash is more than bright enough

10. Camera Lag when opening - Almost 3 seconds on 1st open, 1/2 second to open every time thereafter - Really not a problem for me

10a. Shutter lag when taking photos - Shutter speed is perfectly acceptable to me (ME1 firmware)

11. Gallery lag when opening - Doesn't lag any more than opening any other app for the first time. Once cached, it's instant.

12. Dialer lag - Same as #11

13. Contact app lag - Same as #11

14. When the keyboard is popped out on say a white web page, the screen does a slight brightness adjustment that it almost feels like a screen flicker on low brightness. Then it changes colour tone from reddish to greenish. - Confirmed, but barely noticeable, and it really doesn't bother me

So there you have it. 3 out of 14 issues for me, and only 1 of them really bothers me (the purple smearing is annoying sometimes), but I'm sure that will be fixed in an update soon anyway.

Some issues bother people more than others. Each to his own, I love my phone! :silly:
