[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucasfpaixao:
Hi guys, I really need some help.

This Defy+ (MB256, my mom's phone) is wierd.

Remembering: The first thing I tried with this phone was flash CM7.1 but it fails. I needed to recover it from SBF, and it recovered without problems for two or three times while I was trying to flash CM7.

I finally gave up and tried CM10 and it worked! So I leave this phone with this system.

The problem is: this is a unstable version. The reboots and the broken reboots (that needs to wipe to factory reset and install every app again) was driving me nuts (and my mom too).

So I decided to install CM7.2 that is much, much, much more stable on it.

First, I install CM7.2 on my DEFY+ (i also have the same mb526). I downgrade it from CM11 successfully. Yes, I formatted the partition to ext3 before and it worked like a charm! And I see that CM7.2 is really much more stable on this device. So, I just wanted to make the same with my mom's phone.

And the problems started again. But now is worst!

First, after wipe and formatted the partition to ext3 and flashed CM7.2 without erros. So I tried to reboot BUT the Recovery bootloader advises me something like: "there is no operating system, are you sure you would like to continue?"

I simply did it. I get a blank screen. No Bootloader, no M logo, nothing.

And now I'm almost stucked trying to revive it. I already tried some SBF for DEFY+, anyone recovers that phone.

The exactly two I used before ( SBF DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed.rar and DFL_U3_4.5.2_51-50_SIGNED_USADEFYB15RETBRLA007.0R_STABLE45LADEFYRE TBR_P018_A016_M001_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz) failed.

1- The first SBF DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed.rar get the phone stuck on a yellow triangle with a exclamation, NO RECOVERY MENU (when turn it on holding vol -).

2- The second simply boots to a blank screen. Anything. Nothing shows. I actually see the screen turning on (backlight) but not is printed on the screen.

EDIT: I forgott to say that with the last cited SBF I get to bootloader with this error: A5,69,35,00,27 after the phone boots with M logo when trying to boot it normally.

I can still use RSD Lite to flash SBF files. I tried some others:

DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CN_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B50AA009.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRIRD15_P015_A030_Service1FF (2).sbf.gz gives me the same triangle with explamation.

I already tried to make a force reset according to this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rji_wEAxnVo

But it simply not shows the menu itens, the brightness of the screen changes (more and less) when I tap simultaneously on Vol + and Vol -. But any recovery menu option shows on the screen.

I'm stuck, and I'm almost hopeless. But I now there's something to do to recover it.

Please, could someone help me!!!?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casteleugim:
Hi, the black screen is typical when the flashed stock ROM is wrong. You need to found the correct SBF. Your Mom's Defy is an MB526 right? We must be assume that have originally a bl6 sbf (gingerbread ROM 2.3.5). Beginning with a this Cain of ROM if don't work try with a bl7 ROM. Ever you need beginning from more down to highest.

Thank you!

Hi [MENTION=5630345]Casteleugim[/MENTION]. Thank you! Your advice was correct. I tried this ROM: http://www.mediafire.com/download/rsdmersgb0j4uyo/DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134DFP231.rar.gz

And the phone boots again with this wierd chinese ROM. :)

I said that this phone is wierd, so I think this wierd ROM solve it`s dependencies! :victory:

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 Questions & Answer] ionutzm05:
I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Express (GT-I8730), international version.

I updated my firmware using Odin to a newer build. The firmware was downloaded from SamFirmware.com.

After the update finished and my phone restarted I've got no sound at all. I tried doing a factory reset but no luck. I thought the firmware was corrupted and after downloading and installing a new one, the exact same thing happened.

In the video posted below I am doing a factory reset from recovery, just to show you that I'm doing everything from the beginning.

The phone vibrates but there is no sound.

Before the update I had build version : I8730XWAMB8. After the update I tried with : I8730XWAMD7 and I8730XWAMC4. All these builds have the version number 4.1.2.

If I reinstall the I8730XWAMB8, I have sound but this build is branded and I'm very mad that I can't install other versions. This thing won't happen on my Note 2. I can install what firmware I want from SamFirmware.com.

I also saw that with all these builds my phone will randomly power-off at different times. It can be 5 minutes after I turn it on or it can be 18 hours. After the power-off I need to take out the battery.

What is wrong with the phone? Before these updates everything worked perfectly (before trying these updates, with the initial build I had sound and there were no random power-offs).

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 Questions & Answer] rjlouro:
I also wanted to de-brand my i8730 and had similar issues as you. I tried 4 different firmwares, and the only firmware that really works OK is the original, branded one. With other firmwares (same version, same country but different branding) got me the occasional shutdowns like you described and wifi constantly disconnecting and connecting again.

Now I went back to the XWAMB8, rooted the phone and with Titanium Backup removed all the branded apps.

If you don't want to root your device you can always hide the apps, from the app list click on the Menu button and choose the option Hide applications.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 Questions & Answer] ionutzm05:
Isn't that weird? I had a lot of Samsung smartphones and flashed a lot of firmwares (both stock and custom) and never experienced something like this. Can you tell me where you bought the phone from (what carrier and country)? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 Questions & Answer] rjlouro:

It is indeed very weird. My phone is branded to Portuguese Vodafone, I tried flashing other portuguese firmwares and also from other countries, the only stable one is the original one.

No sound at all - not a problem in Australia

I updated and Optus branded i8730 with the plain vanilla variety and have had no problem.

Is your phone network locked?

99% sure mine is not and that may be what is causing it.

Well, it was a Vodafone Romania firmware but not really branded. I mean, it only had some apps installed by Vodafone. However, I'm getting my hands on an unbranded grey Galaxy Express today. Let's see what's going to happen with this one..
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 Questions & Answer] viges666:
Something similar happened to me. I rooted it via motochoper from my linux desktop. Played a bit with root stuff, and later then I had no sim detection and no more speaker sound. I reflashed /system and got sim detected but still no speaker sound. Now I'm affraid of rooting the new one (I got lucky with my carrier). Something is weird about that phone...

Edit: In fact it seems to be TB that messed up the device... Everything fine now...

[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 Questions & Answer] daniel1c:
Does somebody was able to flash a ROM released for a different carrier and still have sound working on this phone?

I either have no sound at all (after burning a new ROM for different carrier) or have strange sound (like "ET call home" - not my problem description, just found it on this forum too) after mixing new ROM with my original MODEM file.

Of course, everything is fine after burning back my original ROM.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Iskateforfree:
Hey guys, I just rooted and flashed the Jelly Beans Build 2 ROM on my GS4. I noticed the new features like the Wifi and hotspot toggles but then as soon as I backed up my apps using titanium back up, they disappeared. Also, I noticed ALOT of bloat was still on the device although I was told that there's supposed to be little to no bloat on the ROM. Lastly, I've been hearing superb things about the battery life but my battery life isn't as good as when the phone was stock. Did something go wrong when I flashed this rom? I also flashed faux kernel with it. I'm thinking that the backup messed up certain things in the ROM and also backed up my bloat from my stock ROM. Could this be true? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NiteQwill:
Did you factory wipe your phone before installing? I usually do it 3 times before installing a ROM.

Also, did you restore TiBu apps AND system apps? Backing-up your apps [with TiBu] should have no affect on how your system works, at all. It does nothing to change your system (think of it as reading-only).

I use KT's kernel using the recommended settings and I get about 5-6 hours non-wifi OST with this ROM. And about 1.5-2 days of use.

Reflash and retry. Or try a different ROM and/or kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Iskateforfree:
I did a wipe of the cache and dalvik cache using TWRP. In terms of backup I used the option "backup apps and system data". Could that be tje problem? Do you have a link to the Ktoon kernel with those recommended settings?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NiteQwill:
You have to do a full factory wipe, not just cache and dalvik, before installing a new ROM. No need to back up system data, unless you are certainly restoring to the same ROM; restoring system data only leads to problems.

Hello guys , i got big problem. When i setted up inspiration rom after elegancia using , after 6 hours of phone using , my display just dont work(dead).

If they will see that i got rooted , custom rom , hboot etc. theyll say that is my fault. Is there option how i can mess it up till i cant turn it on , or plug to pc.

I did it with my lg p500 when i flashed .kdz file i just unpluged phone , and it was dead , without sign marks. Is there this kind of brick for senny?

[HTC Sensation] hellfire191:
You could probably fix it yourself

try following these instructions

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1522351

And also don't try and break it any further because once HTC have plugged it in and got it running they will diagnose it, and that will say that your phone is rooted.

The only way to make the phone fully unoperational is to burn out the motherboard.

[HTC Sensation] raz0rf1sh:
just send it in rooted, its a hardware problem, if they say ur warranty is void, just kick up a fuss...

in the past some warranty repairs have been honoured by HTC despite phone being rooted - if it is clearly a hardware failure.

i can think of ways to mess up the device without leaving a trace (easy), but its probably best not to give suggestions here.

I've just found out today that I'm not able to take a Sneak Peek photos any more (either on Nexus 4 or Nexus 7). I'm getting this message - 'Due to privacy laws, Sneak peek feature is not available in your country.'. :(

So I have few questions I've asked at Norton Community (awaiting response):

1. What privacy laws (please provide me with the exact law for Ireland)? It is my phone and it is my privacy. I've agreed to use this product to protect my phone and tablet so it is my privacy you talking about and it is my privacy that can be compromised (and I'm ok with this feature working on my phone) ... or is Norton concerned about privacy of the potential thief?!?!

2. Will it start working again when I travel to another country (ie. Poland)?

3. How good is locating without picture? Imagine the situation - your phone stolen, location is given to you, no. 4 Well Road Whatever City, you go there and stand in front of apartment block containing 120 flats. NOT REALLY HELPFULL WITHOUT PHOTO TAKEN ... IS IT?

4. How come your competition is still offering this feature?

5. Why wasn't I informed of this being disabled?!?! I've paid for your product and all features included. Are you going to lower the price or give a rebate for next year license? How come it was ok to have this option working for 6 months and it is not any more?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazinase:
Why using Norton anyways?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loco-cork:
Why not ;)

I was using it already (got a good offer with nexus 7) and they've just disabled this 'photo of the thief' feature in the middle of the year license.

There aren't many security apps with this option (meaning all-in-one apps: security, anti-theft, anti-virus etc.).

[LG Optimus 3D] drastic00:
Hmmm. Well a .kdz has both .bin (firmware) and .fls (baseband) 'built in,' so you could flash one and get both.

If you don't want to do that, it's possible to extract .bin and .fls files from a .kdz but I don't know how. I am pretty sure there are tutorials for that.

Or maybe Karim Kahale knows more...

So.. On Windows 7 I was able to use a few legacy ink flashcard programs well... Notably JumpingMinds software's TabletFlash, as well as Microsoft ink flashcards.. both are buggy.. ink flashcards seemed to have more portability... like one note style inking/features but in a flashcard format

inkflashcards doesn't work on windows 8... at least I haven't been successful.. and tabletflash is really buggy on windows 8, and it's *just* ink... I can't type or put images on flashcards...

I use Anki, because it's stable and I like to portability and the algorithm, but not being able to ink really hinders what I can do on there... If it is something I'm going to draw (which is convenient for some of my studies...) I have to draw it to an image and then import it (or screen clip a onenote drawing... i.e. more time consuming than it should be.

With all the new WACOM tablets propagating, it would be *AWESOME* if someone made a flashcard program that was ink compatible... it'd really be great for students...I'd be willing to pay money for it, and I'm sure other students would.

I upgraded to Slimbean 4.2.2 build 6 from a 4.2.1 build of Slimbean about 2 days ago. So far, loving everything.

Today I started having my phone start flickering (jagged black triangles) and freezing/choking. It started first with games but is happening in other apps, especially if there is much activity or action on the screen. Searching the forum, it seems like there are issues with flickering on AOSP-based ROMs that pop up inconsistently but are infuriating. Now it's happening to my phone.
