[HTC One S] aamatniekss:
Hello!

So im planning to buy this phone, but there's one problem. I've heard that you only get 2gb of space for the apps. So that left me wondering, is that 2gb of storage only for like apks or for app caches too? Like for example will I be able to install GTA 3, GTA VC and NOVA and Most Wanted all in the same time? They all weigh like 1gb, so that means I can install maybe like 1 or 2 of those games, and that's it? Or the caches of those games go to the rest of the 10gb of storage and I can install them all?

This is the only problem with the phone for me.. I want to be able to install a lot of apps and games, will I be able to do it, without rooting?
[HTC One S] MattDN93:
Nah the apps themselves (which are 3~4MB) go to app storage and the 1GB game data goes to sdcard0/Android/data so you can install as many as you want at the same time to fit it into 10GB :) I'd recommend Modern Combat 4 as well if you like NOVA.

EDIT: This does NOT require root either, I had several large games installed on stock.
[HTC One S] aamatniekss:
Hmm, but there is no sd card on One S. So I suppose the rest of the 10gb internal storage serves as an inbuilt sd card, yes? if so then that's great! Thanks! :)
[HTC One S] Oxious119:
Exactly.
[HTC One S] aamatniekss:
Ok, thanks! Then it's awesome! Definitely buying the phone! :))

new firmware available for my device

and i proceed to upgrade the process i consuming lot of times! and finally when my device shows the DOWNLOADING! with Android Logo

the PC popped up with says that it can't recognize my DEVICE!

very bad i tried again... by the instruction from the popup and second time also like that!... wasted most of my time

U can get odin just Google it 3.07 version will do
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 95mediatech:
Thanks i found the Firmware for my country and what need to tick and what do not tick in ODIN?

i really never used ODIN tool before. thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mssaleh:
Try this if you like Kies

If you like to use Kies instead of Odin then you can disconnect your USB cable (phone) and go to Tools>Firmware Upgrade and Initialization and follow the instructions. You'll need to enter model number (case sensitive) like GT-I9500 and your mobile's serial number (from Settings>About Device).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D™:
Just let it be. When you open ODIN then it will have only 2 ticks. Dont tick more then that. Then select PDA (i.e. .tar) file & Press Start. Don't unplug the device until you get clear Ext button.

Note: Do check whether your Mobile has been detected by ODIN (A Green column will be highlighted in left upper corner).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 95mediatech:
thanks but anyway, I will try the odin first.

but this looks my data will be erased..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mssaleh:
No, this is actually a fail-safe way to upgrade your firmware in case the automatic Kies updater fails. You'll get to a step where you'll choose to factory reset or not, and you can always back up and restore data from Kies (you can back up before the whole upgrade process).

Odin is good, though. Basically the same thing. If you flash official ROM then your phone status will stay "Official" but the flash counter may increase. Kies method is official and will not threaten your warranty.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 95mediatech:
Thanks mate! Very useful I will try.

Thanks but the firmware file for my country

is whopping 1.5gb actually I read many posts

that says OTA are just about 350mb... and the file

are in .zip but odin need .tar format... ???:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
Yes correct it's a big file as lots of bloatware by Samsung and the OTA I is 343 mb

I would still suggest that download install and keep it even after flashing it I personally never trust KIES a stupid time waste waitng for it to complete

And ya even if u try doing thru KIES it myte take abt 3 hours as my friend took more then 4 hours having 1 mbps speed

And ya this won't increase a binary counter

---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 95mediatech:
Thanks very much mate! For your valuable information the kies is very bad... it tooks me 1.5 hour per season. .. I tried 2 times to upgrade my s4 but still not successful. Hmmm

I will definitely try download and flash it using ODIN. Sorry if I'm writing too much because I am absolutely noob to Samsung device.

One more thing? Its that the phone recovery in the kies are reliable? In case of brick or something how can I revive it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
This is why you don't let your buddies do random crap to your phone.

I don't know if you have already flashed a radio or not but you could try it, honestly I don't think it will help but it is worth a shot. I'm fairly sure you lost your EFS, your IMEI and all that good ****, and I don't think there is a way yo recover it on the Note 2 without having a nandroid backup with the EFS backed up into it. You could go the Verizon S3 forums and try their IMEI recovery method.

It's hard to diagnose what's wrong without knowing exactly what your buddy did, if he did mess phone up for good and you can't recover the EFS I would make that buddy buy me a new phone.

Not a big deal I mean paid nothing for phone as I fix a lot and only have 80usd invested ill just sell for parts but Ty very much all I know is he flashed another mp5 to it waiting to hear which one he did and see if I can locate my backup but doubt it

How did he flash it? Where did he get it from? It most definitely should not have done this unless he flashed the Odin file in recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdporco:
Hmmm

He flashed in Odin unsure of source of download and I believe he did flash in recovery I have flashed base band and all trying to fix
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
What exactly did he flash in recovery? The same file or a different one? If a different one what was it. If it was the same one that's where the problem is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
Were you unlocked prior to him screwing up your phone? If so, I would say try restoring to stock and see what happens.

Your front camera isn't working with the stock rom? Did you try a factory reset from within the settings menu? You could also try both roms and use the one that works. Flashing the "wrong" one won't brick your phone.

I try a factory reset, no result for the front camera. Try to flash the suggested ROM's from Needrom: Star-N9500-STOCK-4.2.2Dual-scatter. With both scatter types.

The only ROM thats functioning with my N9500 is this one, from Needrom. Every time a brick my N9500 this is the ROM who brings it alive (sadly without proper functioning front camera)

So I think I have LCD DRIVER 1-RX_499NT_598A

I try'd several ROM's (4.2.1 and 4.2.2) from Needrom. The above ROM is the only one who gives no black screen after booting (or not booting at all).

The only problem which the ROM have is that my front camera is not functioning. Is there no way to fix the front camera without flashing the whole new ROM?:rolleyes:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mickrick:
You know that there's a "pure" stock rom on needrom don't you, one that doesn't have any cwm/root on it? (the site's offline at the minute so I can't get the link right now).

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MARKINTON:
With the origional ROM from factory the front camera was working, so no hardware issues. First I root the origional ROM with Motochopper, then i flashed the Custom ROM Star N9500 V2 20130514 (with is working on my N9500). Gone to try the "pure"stock ROM as you suggested, I think this is right one: ROM Official Star N9500 : N9500.20130412_e2006_v89_jbaol1 from Needrom. Let you now if the front camera is working with this ROM.

Thanks for your help and patience!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MARKINTON:
So this morning I flashed the pure stock ROM:

Official Star N9500 : N9500.20130510_e2006_v89_jbaol1

Flashtool: SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1252.1.104

Install ROM :

To unpack Flash run Flash_tool.exe

Select a the MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt in ROM

Click Flash_tool.exe interface Firmware-> Upgrade

Phone after taking the battery in put something

Connect the data cable

Brush finished with green circles appears

After flashing and the green circle OK appears the phone is not starting up, no reaction on the power button at all!

Why only this ROM (simply official rom STOCK, Filename: Star N9500 V2 20130514) is working (boot's after flashing) and all the others not?

Am I not patient enough, how long do you have to keep the power button in after flashing?

Is there someting wrong with my CWK (I flashed "star n9500 recoveryCWM.V.6.0.2.8 B.M")?

I always use the recomended flashtool for the ROM.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jazzzy786:
I'm having the exact same problems the only rom that I can get to work on needrom is the unbricking one above. I cannot get the front camera working with SP_MDT as I do not know which scatter file to use. I've tried the unbrick one but it has cache and userdata unticked and I cannot use in SP_MDT and I don't know how or with what to edit the scatter file.

I'd really like to install CWM too and have flashed using SP Flash tool but power+volume up don't work and CWM.V.6.0.2.8 doesn't work using uncletools either as boot into recovery just restarts phone.

I am going to read up on scatter files as I think the reason all the other roms fail is because of scatter layout. I think I need to make a scatter file of my phone rom and somehow copy the same layout on another rom.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jazzzy786:
Okay I managed to install CWM and consequently boot into recovery and install the essfour rom by iceman which looks great.

Firstly you need to root your phone using motochopper

next use sp_flashtool v3.1304.0.119 and recovery cwm.V.6.0.2.8 (use the scatter file which only ticks recovery) and click DOWNLOAD

Download links for CWM and Flashtool

http://dfiles.eu/files/2ka8cc3qc

http://www.mediafire.com/?b89cc8b9mozbp0z

If flashing is ok then the flashtools will finish with green circle

Now Restart phone holding down POWER BUTTON and VOLUME UP to boot into CWM recovery where you can do all your usual stuff such as nandroid backup and flash roms from zip files on phone.

BTW the Essfour rom takes ages on the Samsung logo on first boot. I hope I've helped some of you out there. Now just to get my front camera working which is still not working.
