Just try a dirty flash on top. Just flash rom again in other words without wiping data but wipe preload and system and caches...

If no go then use 2.6.0twrp or 2.5 2.4.4 whicheverone werks. .. I never had that problem. ... try my new rom that should fix every ugly tw thing

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lizardking7112:
Been searching around the forums for this issue. I am unable flash ROM's any more. The issue started after flashing an ASOP ROM. It seems the issue is that when in recovery (TWRP 2.5.0) it is unable to see ext-sd. I attempted to move ROM zip to internal but it will fail each time.

I have reformatted SD card. No Change.

Attempt to mount ext-sd within recovery- No Luck.

Read some stuff about flashing back to stock? But I root with S-OFF.

Any suggestions?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lizardking7112:
Be honest, if knew what was the issue was, I would be ecstatic. All I know is I can't Flash any ROM's The log is telling me very little.. Before I was unable to see sd card while in recovery. I down graded TWRP and could see it again. But seems like there is still an issue from 4.2.2 upgrade I did, my gut is links are broken because of directory changes. But what those may be I don't know.

I was able to restore a backup and get the phone "working" again on a 4.1.1 build again, but that is about it. I see a couple of suggestions but afraid it might make it worse.

FYI anyone reading this and wanting to steps to downgrade TWRP, this is what i used.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veritum:
Please notice: this is not a question on how to change to locale after the phone is setup, this is regarding building a custom rom

I'm trying to build a ROM based on Samsung's firmware (MD2), the firmware came with a UK CSC.

When clearing the data and running the default setup wizard the default language is "English (United Kingdom)" I wish it to be "English (United States)".

For that matter I have tried to change any reference to en_GB in /system/csc to be en_US.

I changed the settings in build.prop to be:

ro.product.locale.language=en

ro.product.locale.region=US

and even tried

ro.product.locale.language=en_US

ro.product.locale.region=US

but still it's stuck on UK, I know this probably comes from the UK csc but I have tried to change every reference there is to en_US but still no luck.

Thanks for any help you can provide
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I don't know how to change the default language but they're all compiled into the frameworks so you'd probably want to decompile that and examine the xmls
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veritum:
Well started by decompiling SecSetupWizard.apk (if you have any idea on where to look I'd appreciate it)

and from what I can discern it comes from java.Util.Locale.getDefault()

Which seems like a loop, after the language spinner is filled with the list of languages by the adapter, it's being looped to match the default language set by Locale.getDefault until it is found and selected as the default. At that stage I have no idea where the value of Locale.getDefault comes from

Hello fellows,

*

I have been using my RAZR HD for almost 6 months with no major issues to speak of. *Recently i decided to bite the bullet and unlock the bootloader and tried out the ROM, Rage HD v1.1, and i really enjoyed it. *But after a week i started having issues with my microphone. *First my mp3 recorder started giving me error messages when i attempt to record saying to close other apps that might be using the microphone. *Next phone calls stopped sending my voice, although i can hear the other side just fine. *Using a headset allows me to still use the phone for work and all but it is a real drag not being able to use my phone as a tuner for my cello like i used to. *i have since wiped the device and tried the Slimbean ROM, and the voice search worked once in 'google now' but is currently dysfunctional.

*

Has anyone else heard of this issue and would anyone know how i can solve it? *I tried stock rom again with none of my apps installed and still no microphone.

Thank you,

Depends on where you are. Just try on ebay.com for Anker battery for Smasung Galaxy SII and that should do. I am in India and I got a good offer on 2 batteries with a universal battery charger (all Anker products) and they are working just fine. I charge the batteries using the charger and switch the batteries and almost never do I charge the phone directly as it becomes too hot.

Depending on what system you are on, I'd assume the latest (OTA 906). Use Motofail to root it, which can be found Here. That should be a single exe file to run motofail, make sure you have the proper motorola drivers, USB debugging on, and charge only USB mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmk32:
Hey guys,

Hoping to get some feedback from former HTC Rezound owners who are now onto the S4 (seen a few in this forum).

I'm strongly considering turning to the S4 as my next phone after 3 straight HTC phones. I see that Verizon officially announced the One coming, but with HTC company in disarray, lack of updates on all my HTC phones, and only a 4mp camera (ultra pixel or not, it's not going to be enough for pix you need to crop), and no removable battery or sd card slot, I'm close to jumping over. I've rooted all my phones, but kinda sick of being a guinea pig with half working stuff on ROM's that wasn't supposed to be on my phone anyways, and constant issues, etc just to get close to the latest OS.

With the S4, wondering about comparison in signal strength (4G) that you've seen (just as strong, weaker, etc), GPS lock time, camera (speed and quality of pix), overall speed of the phone (opening apps, mail, etc), and comparative lag, etc.

I'm more interested in a 32gb model if it ever comes to Verizon, so I'm trying to hold out a little longer before making my move, but any input on comparing the 2 phones would be helpful in solidifying my decision! (wife has the S3 by the way, and it's pretty nice, although she has Sprint and never gets 4G)...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hpower1:
Yo, I'll fill you in and answer as much as I can. Just got my s4 last week, had the rezound for about 1.5 yrs. Awesome phone, like it, still like it, was kinda hard to switch. I even left the store without buying the S4, but went back the next day. Glad I did.

I ran the rez stock for a while, but for some time ran the roms by Neo. Mostly rage, but switched to Infection towards the end. This phone has been great for me so far.

-signal strength to me seems a little better for 4g, not major

- wifi is better for sure. Rez wasn't bad but you needed the back cover and maybe it degraded over time???

-GPS seems fine for me, but never had issues with Rez

-camera is fine for me, seems fast enough, good pics too

-I find phone super fast, faster than Rez was, I don't notice any lag. But I never had major issues with that on the Rez tho

For me, it was a slightly tough upgrade, but I'm happy. Biggest for me has been battery life. I had to charge my Rez every 24hrs, this things lasts me at least 2 days.

So far, all I have done is root with TWRP, and froze all the bloat. I haven't flashed any different roms (TW or other). Wanting to see what it is like close to stock for a bit first.

Been very happy with my decision. Would do again, would recommend.

Hope that helps.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jm700wx:
I went form Rezound to S3 and now S4. I do not think you will be disappointed if you get an s4. The phone is superior in every way. My biggest gripe is that touchwiz is extremely ugly!! I use custom roms and themes so that does not really bother me too much. You will also notice that development here will be better than the Rezound. I was going to wait for the HTC One but the state of the company really scares me. I also like having the ability to expand storage. Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmk32:
Very helpful - thanks! It's great to see good posts on the S4, but you don't know what kind of phone folks are coming from, so wanted to get a better perspective. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmk32:
I agree with the look not being totally appealing too. I'd probably do the same thing with a theme or shell (just saw a good review of the Yandex shell 3d launcher) as long as it doesn't lag or mess up the phone. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drivie:
Not sure I can add anything to what's already been said but I just made the jump from Rezound to S4 and I'm very happy. I was concerned with the transition to TouchWiz as I've used previous iterations on family members' phones and didn't like it. Sense was superior in nearly every way but to be honest, it could be worse and I'm getting used to it. I considered another HTC phone (DNA or One) but hated the idea of no SD card option and a non-removable battery. Speaking of battery, I don't think HTC is capable of manufacturing a phone with decent battery life.

Speed on the S4 is excellent though I've noticed some odd lag in the Google Maps app. I enabled developer menu and disabled all of the animations so that's helped. The Rezound was fast enough for me and if I had to go back to it, I don't think it would be an issue. Signal strength and quality are as good for me as with the Rezound. I was running VipreRez and had odd issues with WIFI whereby I had to disable/enable it now and then to stay connected...not an issue with the S4. GPS lock is very quick but I had no problems with the Rez. I don't use the camera much so I can't comment on that except to say that some of the camera modes on the S4 are pretty neat (possibly gimmicky).

The single largest difference is battery life and it's a MASSIVE difference. I could not make it through a day with the Rez if I used navigation, wireless tether or spent too much time talking. I use my phone only for business (no games) so for me it's phone calls, text, e-mail and a minor amount of navigation. I was constantly powering the phone from the car and plugging it in immediately upon returning home. The S4 has amazing battery life. I've easily made it 17+ hours with nearly 3 hours of screen on time, navigation and WIFI tether and been at or just below 30% at the end of the day.

The only issues I've had with the S4 have been adjusting to the size of the phone and lack of a search button. I have a difficult time reaching across the screen with one hand but I think I'll live with it. I used to press search and immediately type a client's name and get to them quickly. Now it takes an extra step or two but not a huge issue. Also, I miss the Sense clock..heh. I realize there are apps that emulate that clock but it was amazing. I thought the screen on the Rez was fantastic but the 5" screen on the S4 is truly amazing.

One last thing to mention. I always felt like the Rezound was the red-headed step-child of HTC phones. Not much dev support and accessories were difficult to come by. The S4 is a complete 180 from that due to the pervasive nature of the distribution. I expect loads of development and accessories for this phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jscarano:
Former Rezound user here too. I totally agreed with everything everyone has said. I did notice GPS , Wifi and 4G were a little better. I wasn't really nervous about TW . I actually like TW. Battery life is great as previously mentioned . Love the phone so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Trekka:
I went from the Rez to the S3 tp the S4. I really liked the build quality of the Rez. When I sold mine, it was like selling a child.

Wifi is awesome in comparison. 4G averages 25% higher in my tests. I guess it's just more consistent. Battery life is WAY better. I always had to have an extended battery on it. My S4 lasts me a whole day off intense use. I work IT and I'm on my phone all day. Development will be much better. Let's not even mention the screen comparison.

All in all, the upgrade is amazing. Worth every penny.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DigiDave:
Former Rezounder and I just got the S4 today. I'm so excited to have this phone and I'm very happy to hear all the good remarks from this thread. I expected to see that there is more development for this phone compared to the Rezound. I agree that it was the red headed step child too lol. Anyways I'm gonna get started on rooting :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
Get the s4. You will leave terrible battery life, heat, and poor development behind. You won't regret it. I don't miss my rez that much
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CapnKrafty:
I had the Rezound. After Google I/O and not hearing anything about the Moto X phone I decided to jump on the S4 bandwagon. I had my Rez for a little over a year. It was an okay phone, hated the battery life, even got the extended battery and always got weird looks for how big my phone was. But I've gotta commend developers like Neo or Chad for bringing us 4.2 to the Rez. For me the standout points with the S4 are battery life, the camera and very very smooth UI. I'm excited to see what the future brings, development is explosive with the bootloader being unlocked now. I really want to like the HTC One but I need HTC to show better support for their phones, there was no excuse for the Rezound to not have 4.1 by now, even the Droid Bionic has it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nes4r2:
Rezound to S4 and the very first thing I notice was how freaking light it was I even told the verizon rep if he put the battery in LOL but after the initial shock the phone is so good, the only thing I noticed was the lack of CDMA support unless I am missing something here but if you not in a 4g area you get a lot of dropped calls unless being on Global has something to do with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmk32:
Great feedback guys! exactly what I was hoping to hear.Think I'm sold on getting the S4.

Already talked to a Verizon store rep about options to upgrade early without paying full retail and losing unlimited (Verizon really stinks about these new policies), but may wait a few more weeks to see if a 32gb version of the S4 will actually come to vzw or not...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Diversion:
I too had a Rezound and it's been passed down to my mother.. The Rezound is choppy and slow these days.. Still has a great screen though in my opinion.. the S4 is a no brainer to switch to.

---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------

What's the big gripe and deal with needing 32gb internal storage? I'm sure pretty soon we're going to have working apps2sd and it's not an issue anymore. . It's also one of the reasons Vzw was able to sell it 199 on contract still.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkhorn:
I was in the same boat as hpower1. I must have made 3 trips to the store to look at the S4. I went to a Corp store so I could buy it outright and put it on a 12 month payment plan. Didn't want to lose my unlimited plan. My wife and I only use about 1GB +/- per month but the "what if" factor kicked in. It helped sell me when I was on the phone with 611 and they told me that it wouldn't affect my upgrade. So if something else comes out in a year or so and we are not using over 2 or 4 GB per month that I could still my upgrade. They offered to buy back the Rezound but I declined. I moved it to another line to replace a D1. This thing (S4) is awesome. Light, fast, big screen. I put it in an OtterBox Defender case to help protect it. Makes it so much easier to hold. This is simply a GREAT phone. I got it last Friday night and couldn't take it any longer so Monday morning I rooted it just so I could disable some of the bloat and flash a mod that I wanted. Get it, you won't regret it. Also like others have said, the battery life is great but I have to admit that the Rezound got much better after flashing XenonHD and is still a great phone.

Oh, and I also installed a 64Gb card in it that I got off of Amazon.
