[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJBrs:
I'm preparing to flash a custom rom to my girlfriend's I9000, but if anything goes wrong I want to be able to just reflash a nandroid backup and not need to change any settings or reconfiguring anything. I need some advice about how to make a nandroid backup in the least invasive way possible, i.e., preventing tinkering to the current (stock) rom. The problem--I think I need to use a custom recovery to make a nandroid backup. How do I do that with the least tinkering to the current ROM? Premise, I'm using Linux and I do not have access to a windows machine. I have the android sdk installed (fastboot, adb) and I'm comfortable using the commandline. I don't know much about android, but I _do_ like to know what I'm doing :) She currently is using stock, unrooted I9000XWJW5_I9000XENJV6_XEN.

I considered (and tried some of) the following options.

1. Boot a CWM recovery image with fastboot, without flashing CWM to the device. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to boot to fastboot with the I9000.

2. Boot to existing recovery and flash CWM recovery image in the form of an update.zip file. Unfortunately, recovery complains about some signature problem with the update.zip and refuses to install it. I think it is 3e recovery--too new?

3. Use adb shell to upload an exploit, then remount /system rw, install su, reboot, install superuser.apk, install CWM manager, flash CWM recovery. Just like all the oneclickroot scripts. Unfortunately, _none_ of the exploits I found gave me root?! I tried zergRush ("Hellions with BLUE flames !"), psneuter, GingerBreak (let it run for over 15 minutes, no result) and motofail. Is there any exploit known to work on this stock rom?

4. Flash a new kernel with heimdall that includes a recovery (e.g., cf-root 4.4 or semaphore kernel). I'm not looking forward to doing this because cf-root and semaphore are not just kernels but all kinds of other stuff as well that I don't necessarily want to be there when I make a nandroid backup. In other words, these options, to me, seem quite invasive, and I wouldn't know very well what I was doing anymore.

5. Unpack the correct fs-image from a stock rom, add su and superuser.apk, repack it, flash with heimdall. Install CWM via CWM manager. I did not find information about how to do this or whether it even works.

The best would be that it actually _is_ possible to boot to fastboot on I9000. Let me know if it is, but I couldn't find any information about this. Also, I really hope that someone can advise a different exploit for option 3. Some pointers for option 5 would help as well. If nothing else works I'll flash cf-root or semaphore. A prerooted stock kernel image with only su and superuser.apk would be preferable, but that I haven't found that either. Anyway, I hope someone can lend me a suggestion or give me a pointer!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compacity:
find ur own cf root, its da easiest way to attain 2e recovery, 3e recovery activate signature check,no need for adb, juz find ur own cf root.

or juz switch rom to stock jvu latest.

so many way to attain solution available if u can reach download mode, so why messing with adb? u wanna lose ur internal sd partition?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJBrs:
Okay, that rules out flashing CWM from stock recovery

As I said, I want the least invasive method, and I want to understand what I'm doing. Installing a kernel image with an initrd that I know little about, that I do not understand very well. Logging in via adb, running an exploit and doing some basic Linux commandline stuff, that I _do_ understand. So to me, adb is less messy than flashing some modified kernel (although I might end up doing that). Regarding the sd partition--is there any real risk losing one by using adb? Anyway, I'll use dd to back up the sd partition.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compacity:
there s always risk when u altering somethin, juz be sure to know what ur doing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJBrs:
I ended up flashing the semaphore kernel and making a nandroid backup from the included cwm. First though, I did find various more exploits, but none of them worked. Apparently JW5 stock rom is quite invulnerable. I also found out that it should be possible to modify the factoryfs.rfs directly, but you need the rfs kernel model, which is not part of the mainline kernels. There are Samsung patches for rfs floating around, but they don't compile on recent kernels. In fact, the easiest way to modify a stock factoryfs.rfs image would be to loop-mount it on another rooted Samsung device. So, that was too much a hassle.

Anyway, girlfirend now is using CM10 and is an awful lot faster than stock JW5 :) Should have done that ages ago!

Hi all !

My ZL C6502 got bricked. I tried to turn on but nothing happens. I just recently unlock bootloader and it was fine. Then I used Flashtool to flas DoomLord newest kernel to get the Recovery. After that it got bricked. I have tried the press and hold many combinations but they did not seem to work. Is there anyway to make it work again ? Or it's really gone for good ? Please advise
[Sony Xperia ZL] gloryprinting:
Use dos to Chang recovery maybe work

Before do it charge until full battery or green light
[Sony Xperia ZL] dangtien1980:
Can you show me how to do it? I am newbie to Android. Hope mine ZL come back to life.Thanks
[Sony Xperia ZL] rasgula:
1- try to charge battery for few hours

2- use flashtool to flash any new Rom for ZL C6502.

hope it will work.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anjuice:
Callers at the other end have difficulty hearing me, and I've never been able to find a solution. At first, I thought it's the ROM I was using, but after flashing the stock rooted ROM, same problem. I'm using the correct baseband. I'll do a test tomorrow, returning the phone to factory condition with the latest images from Google.

Has anybody gotten this problem and was able to fix it?

Update: Back to factory condition. Issue still isn't fixed.

Newer update: Called Google Play Store via this number 1-855-836-3987. They'll be sending a replacement.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anjuice:
Bump. No one else has had this issue?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gauthamnaidu:
Bump.. Same issue here.. Stock unrooted
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anjuice:
Maybe you can get yours replaced by warranty. I called Google Play Store (that's where I bought mine from) and I'll be receiving a replacement.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jess813:
While i am not stock, I did notice this one time with my phone... like extremely LOW to the point i was pressing the phone HARD against my ear to hear.

Solution? I went ahead and flashed Paranoid Android 3.56 and flash the Louder volume MOD in the themes and apps section. That fixed my issue, I also know that not all of you will want to root, and that this SUCKS. but try to restart the phone.

Just root guys, this phone was made for that ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anjuice:
Oh actually the issue I'm talking about is different. The ear piece volume is fine, but whenever I talk to someone on the phone, they can barely hear me unless I use speaker phone. I was actually using Paranoid Android, and I was being told I can barely be heard. So I flashed back to factory to see if it was a ROM issue. Sadly it wasn't.. On factory ROM I can still barely be heard.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GalaxySIIII:
u mean app?

it is great app it improoved knwe it when released it was crap loong time ago..

but works OK on my N4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyan2s:
Got my nexus 4 recently and i am also facing the same issue with some callers...not sure if this is a network issue or there's something wrong with my phone. Did the replacement solve your problem?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lyxdeslic:
I'm having the same problem as well. Just received my Nexus 4 last week. They especially can't hear me if I'm speaking to them through my car speakers (3.5mm connection, not bluetooth). Wasn't a problem at all in the same vehicle with my Galaxy Nexus. Please let us know if the replacement worked better.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramkumar2000:
I am also having the same problem...my girl keeps shouting that she can not hear me..at first i thought some problem with network but than some of ma friends said same thing...whats the option now..?? i am from india and i imported it from US so cnt send back there..is anyone found any solution..??

I tried using headsets and the results were pretty much better..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volty500:
Wish I could help. Just had to RMA mine today. Completely stock, no mic. Works when plugged in, sometimes, but for the most part no audio. When it is plugged in, the wife says I sound like I'm trapped in a bottle lol echo and static.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xasthe:
I had the same problem when I was running full stock. It was really annoying to hear "I can't hear you..." every other sentence.

This won't help if you do not want to root or run custom ROMs but since I switched to PA 3.56 and Matr1x kernel the people on the other end of the line haven't been complaining. I imagine for whatever reason it was fixed would apply to most custom ROMs and Kernels. I'll actually test this out this weekend and edit my post afterwards.

Edit: I made some calls to friends on PA/Matr1x/Radio .48 and everything seemed fine. I flashed full stock and called back the same people and only one person said they heard a noticeable decrease in the quality. That person also knew I was testing different settings on my phone so maybe they were messing with me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramkumar2000:
i also switched to custome rom (Carbon) and have not had any complaint regarding the issue..still will confirm in sometime if the problem exist or not
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daewond3r:
Bumping an old thread ...

So my gf started complaining that she could barely hear me when I was using my Klipsch S4A headphones to talk--while in the car and in a quiet room. I was on CM10.1 at the time and I had read complaints from others with the same/similar issue on other ROMs, even stock/unrooted. I chalked it up to 4.2 and hoped 4.3 would fix it.

It appears that isn't the case. I just sacrificed root so I could flash a clean install of 4.3 (new bootloader and radio included) hoping it would at least mean I could have normal conversations with my gf again while the devs cook up CM10.2. How bummed am I to find out that the issue persists. I just called her from my office with my headset on and she said I "still sound far away." This is really frustrating. I never had this issue on my GNex.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MADBIRZ:
I wish someone comes up with a solution for this.. I was hoping 4.3 would solve this issue also. Some say its cause of the noise reduction, isn't there anyway we could disable noise reduction?! I remembered I had that option on CM10 my i9300 but not on nexus 4 build.. This is really an issue for me since i always use headset for phone calls.. I was wondering if the original Nexus 4 headset would solve this issue.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexnh:

Hi guys,

i found 2 "solutions" which didnt work for Nexus 4:

1: typing *#*#3646633#*#* into the phone to enter the engineering mode. "Should" work for all Android, does not for Nexus 4 :(

2: the App "MobileUncle". Does only work for MTK Chipsets (Nexus 4 has another one)

my question: is there something like the Engineering mode for the Nexus 4 ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heroisnotdead:
Same issue on Nexus 5

FYI, the nexus 5 has the low input volume gain when using 3.5mm headphones with inline mics. I don't understand what LGs problem is with 3.5mm connections or why it was never tested.

started a discussion on in here
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorge_link:
Any solution yet???

I have the exact same Issue, Android 4.4.2 and the issue is not fixed weird that only Nexus 4 has it. I am like you trying to find an app or a way to work around the issue, tried to install other ROM using rom manager and phone when SLOW as heck so no idea how to fix it yet, loud speaker to every single call is not the way to go :(

I have a Honda City 2010 Model and it has a usb connection for Audio play (Mp3) , if I conncet any USB storage it will easily detect and play the songs, but if I connect my phone via USB cable it will not detect it. I was wondering if anyone has a solution for it or if there is any application for this purpose

by the way the Audio system can detect IPOD as it is mentioned in guidebook but I don't have IPOD
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nameless21:
I would have thought it would need a type of driver that can only be put on when being made.

Something that tells your stereo what has connected, and what to do with it.

Apple being the most popular choice is what most manufacture goes with. If your stereo has line in. you could get a cable off eBay. (Looks like an earphone jack socket. Same as the top of your note 2.) Or what I use, a FM transmitter. I use a belkin tunecast.

Thanks for your reply, I found a way to mount external microsd card using usb mass storage enabler application, now I can play songs in my phone via car audio system

I remember when I had nokia phone there was one application to use FM to play the songs in phone on car audio system. is there any app for android to do so? or is NoteII capable of doing the same thing?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aukhan:
No there is no such app because it's actually a hardware fm transmitter where as note 2 doesn't hav that

My question may sound confusing but I'm looking for asks that will always stay on my screen.

The purpose of this us to get rid of the status bar in which I feel is so expired but should still pull down when there is a notification. Anyways here's is what I got so far

I have the battery always showing which is nice. Now if I could have a time one I'll be happy. A date one and signal is a plus but not nessassary. Sorry I can't spell.

It's like how windows phone is set up how you can use your full screen but still know what's going on with your phone at a glance which I'd what I'm trying to aim for.

I OTA updated to vramc3 pretty much while rooted on accident.. Spent like 10 hours searching through forums and eventually found a way to fix it.. Anyway since i cant just use the stock vramc3 at present... I started looking for alternatives but can I flash like Beans Build 17 while having vrall4? Probably a stupid question but I don't know so.. Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidx2.3.3:
I don't see why not. The ROMs and modems are not linked per say.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Comfy95:
Well.... I just tried flashing Beans Build 17 twice and both times i got a red message that said "Failed"

so either im forgetting a step somewhere or it just aint working xD

P.S. But at least its working at the moment.. I can live with that until I can update to VRAMC3 but im not sure how that's gonna work out...

Any information would be great but its 5 am... I aint slept yet so im gonna go ahead and do that haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcollier:
Yes you can flash ROMs and then you can flash the radio to update the baseband to the newest version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
I assume you are unlocked with twrp installed. If so update it using goomanager.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] highwaybandit:
As long as u update twrp like kint said you can flash beans on the ll4 radios with no problem or just download updated radios and flash behind beans 17 doesn't matter what radios your on. But u should go into goo manager hit menu then click install recovery script to update twrp .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Comfy95:
Oooh ok I'll do just that! I'll keep you posted when it finishes!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Comfy95:
Oh jesus sorry im getting back to you guys so late... I've had one hell of a day.. but I tried flashing Beans Build 17 again after updating TWRP and it failed...

...I then saw Carbon ROM... thought it looked cool and gave it a try... it sure did flash but jesus something went completely awry with it... more than half the apps were force closing and i had to pull the battery multiple times before the phone would actually boot so i gave up on that then i went back and used odin to recover vraljb... phew.. at least i can fix most soft bricks now XD!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
Make sure to check md5 sum after downloading the file. I've never had a problem with flashing any build of beans. When you try to flash it, does it even get to the aroma installer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Comfy95:
Nope not even... I swipe to flash then it tries for a second and just fails
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
Use a md5 sum checker on the file

So I have had this phone for 5 days now. Everything has been fine but today the camera has randomly stopped working.

When I load the camera app it just shows a black screen with all the usual camera logos.

I have tried accessing the camera from facebook app and its the same. I have also tried from snapchat and in snapchat the front camera works but when I switch to back the app almost locks up.

I have tried restarting the phone several times. I have force closed the camera apk and wiped the cache.

Does this sound like a hardware fault?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
Sounds like it, yes. If you are getting no picture from the camera with multiple apps, it must be a hardware fault. Instead of trying to fix the problem yourself, just return the phone under warranty and let Samsung fix it. I'll assume you're still stock? You didn't specify this.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo1607:
Yes it is still stock.

I phoned up phones4u coz thats where I got the phone from. I have insurance with them so if the phone is ever faulty I get a brand new sealed unit instead of it being repaired.

They advised me first to try a factory reset incase there is a corrupt driver. If not I take it back this afternoon and they will give me a brand new one
