Sorry small correction

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2281367

use the above link which is PHILZ recovery

Edit : u have to have ur phone into download mode which u can go by

power off device unplug press volume down home power all together till u get download mode and connect to device

the file extension will be .tar use it on PDA at odin and flash it

then u can take a backup of the entire current firmware and keep it to safe place like PC Hard drive and move to ROMS
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcodde:
Thanks. One (hopefully) last question: The link you provided has both *.zip and *.tar.md5 files. I presume you mean I should use the latter, and do I need to remove the last portion (.md5) to make it a *.tar file or use it as is in Odin 3.07?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
User .tar one philz_touch_5.06.6-i9505.tar.md5 since u dont have recovery

No need to remove md5

Odin 3.07 is fine use

below line is Just for info

Zip files are " flashable made" can be used if a one is already having recovery etc like how u flash a rom from recovery
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcodde:
Sorry, back again. I have done as you suggested (twice) and still can't get my phone to install a custom recovery. While Odin once again reports a successful install (as it did when installed the TWRP custom recovery), when I reboot back into custom recovery mode after installing PhilZ Touch custom recovery (as indicated by the blue text on the start-up screen), I no longer get the dying Android figure as I did when installed TWRP custom recovery, but the screen goes to a black, vibrates and then the phone reboots normally (which is a relief). So, needless to say - I am stumped. Can you or anyone else offer any suggestions?

Can u tell me how u have rooted the phone ??

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2219803

I m assuming u have some issue with root

So first use the above link and root the device downlaoding the .tar file

and then flash the recovery as u did earlier u should have root and recovery both

and all this process is abt 10 mins
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcodde:
Definitely a rooted phone. I have SuperUser on it and a range of applications from Titanium Backup, ROM Toolbox, GooManager etc all confirm that they have root access.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
Ok can u tell me how u have rooted the phone ?

Also download a app from play store "root checker" and see what its saying

possibly the recovery is not getting installed on phone coz of some root access

Edit : Superuser etc can be there from play store without root also wont work thought
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcodde:
I used Motochopper to root the phone. I have just re-installed Root Checker, and reconfirmed that confirms I have a GT-I9505 device that has root access.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
Ok that may be one of the reason u are not able to install the recovery

i m saying this coz was havng similar issue when i was using Cofface root

If possible get back to stock firmware then reset the device from ur phone install root CF root and then install Philz recovery all will be smooth and great
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcodde:
Happy to try but could you point me to how I get back to stock firmware and then reset the device? I thought I was still using stock firmware (rooted I understand) so I think you must mean that I need to unroot my phone some how, reboot and then use the rooting process you just posted before install Philz recovery. Would you mind describing a little more - I know I have taken up a lot of your time but greatly apprecriate your help,
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9505

U can download the stock firmware from ur device I9505 will be abt 1.4 gb

once downloaded extract in a folder then flash using Odin pda - need to select .tar here again as u did b4 for recovery flashng etc

This will flash a Firmware and u will have stock phone unrooted

from there reset the device from ur phone which will remoce all the bad files etc and all the data also from ur Internal phone memory

after that as told Root and install recovery hope fully this will work without issues
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcodde:
Okay, got all that. I am surprised that you can flash stock firmware back on to your phone as I was under the impression you needed a custom recovery installed before you could add a custom ROM. Is that purely a "safety" precaution and I could bite the bullet and install a custom ROM now (should I be silly enough to try)? I do have may SYSTEM, APPS and USER data back up. Obviously I will loose everything on my phone doing this but can I expect that I can restore the APPs and USER data from my existing backup but not attempt to do this will the system files in fear of recreating the current problem?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
Yes u can flash stock with Odin no need to install recovery for that..Custom recovery is needed mostly to flash custom Roms more or less u can say

and this method is 100% safe as long as u do properly

make sure u have 60% plus battery on the phone dont disconnect while its running / installing

and dont re install backup u have taken b4 with system files etc myte create plm

rather use titanium / mybackup pro app just to backup messages/ apps etc and save it else where or SD card for later use
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcodde:
Hi, I have done as suggested and flashed the stock ROM and performed a hard Reset. I didn't expect the flashing of the ROM would leave all my apps and screens as they were. Is that normal? I did confirm that the baseband number had changed, which is has. I then moved on to install the root as suggested and all seems to have worked well with the red Android figure appearing. Unfortunately SuperSU is complaining of not having the necessary binary files and Root Checker doesn't seem to be able to determine whether I have rooted phone or not as it just sits there complaining that my system seem slow. Any advice? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
Yes flashing a stock firmware using Odin keeps all the files and data intact however we should do Reset from the device imm to get rid of all the issue coming from the old used files/ custom files etc could be anything i cant say

have u tried updating SU etc from play store try that

And u have used CF ROOT method rite ??

After flashing the Firmware using odin did u reset the device from phone Back up & Reset option ? deleting all the apps etc u had B4
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcodde:
Hi, yes I tried SU from play store - same issue. I also reset from the Backup and Reset option on the phone which did delete all the apps etc so to the best of my knowledge, I followed all the steps as described by you and on the various pages you gave me links to. :(

I have just tried SuperUser. It noted the binaries were old but when it attempted to update, said it "failed" to gain root access. Despite getting the confirmatory Red Android after the root process, I now wonder if it didn't go entirely as planned despite trying 2-3 times....?

Hello,

I flashed CM 10.1 and before the CyanogenMod animation boot starts, I get this screen for 1-2 seconds:

Is it a bug specific to the CM version I downloaded maybe? Or a bug and I need to fix it somehow?

Btw, is there a place / thread where I can report this bug to CyanogenMod developers maybe?

Thanks!

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canis999:
This is a known issue but with very low priority. It's because you have 4.0.4 bootloader. It is one of the reasons I've recommended flashing stock 4.1 from a country nearby yours. That way you wouldn't have this strange screen, and hopefully it would also take care of this so called baseband problem or something.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verynoob:
Thanks you two,

Can I now flash stock rom over CM 10.1? All I need to do is download a firmware from SamMobile and flash it over the CM? or you can't do that? because got_creature said that if I already installed CM I need to install only the bootloader.

Btw, Is flashing stock rom from SamMobile done same way in CWM > Install Zip from sd? I am asking that because I did download a stock firmware, but it weights much much more than CM 10.1 so I'm afraid to flash it :D (CM weights about 150MB and official Samsung rom weights about 700MB)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canis999:
You can install only the bootloader, but it is considered more dangerous than flashing stock rom, which will give you the same effect.

Stock weights much more than CM, because it is heavily bloated, so that is normal.

And you need to flash stock rom via Odin, for the changes in bootloader to take effect. Than you flash CM again, the same way you did it before. Just remember to always make a clean installation (factory reset, clear data and cache, optionally format \system through recovery, to avoid bootloop or getting stuck on bootlogo. And if happens anyway, don't panic, just boot into recovery and again factory reset and clear data and cache.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verynoob:
does the order of doing these things matter? I should format \system after doing other things? btw formatting system is done by "mounts and storage>format /system" ? just to be sure because I've never done that :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canis999:
Format system just before flashing the zip with cm10.1. There is absolutely no need of doing it before flashing stock via Odin. To be honest, there is usually no need of doing it at all, there was one guy that said somewhere on xda that it may reduce the possibility of some bugs occurring during everyday use, so you may consider this step worth considering.

And yes, it's done in mounts and storage in recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vishesh:
Format system under mount & storage = correct

Pattern doesn't matter.. Jus clear cache, delvk, wipe data, format system in any manner

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verynoob:
Ty!

Btw, I looked in SamMobile and there is no jelly bean version for my country, and I did not see any jelly bean version that matches my country's "MODEM", will that cause problems with Phone?

(*does Odin version matter? I am using the 1.85).Is it possible to use Mobile Odin Lite instead to flash the stock rom? or it's not safe?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canis999:
Mobile Odin does not have access to bootloader, so you need to use pc odin for this operation. And as I said, flash the stock 4.1 rom from a country near your, and everything should be fine.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vishesh:
U can install other countries update.. Not an issue.. Odin 1.85 is good.. Pc Odin better than mobile Odin..

backup of IMEI always fails

Hej guys,

I have a SGS III LTE (i9305) bought some days ago in Germany. First thing I did was install CWM and root the device, works so far perfect. IMEI is shown in the phone, everything is working.

Now I wanna backup the IMEI before flashing... I exactely followed the instuctions on

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1946915

1. installed KIES and QPST

2. stopped KIES completely

3. set phone modem via *#7284# to RNDIS + DM + MODEM

4. connected the phone via USB

5. QPST configuration -> set COM port - it shows enabled

Now I tried QPST Software Download to backup my IMEI to the QCN file and here I always get an error:

"Memory Backup Failed", "Received an invalid command from the phone"

What can I do? How can I backup my IMEI?

That's the task battery indicator.. It tells you how much battery you still have. If you don't want it, just tap and hold the upper right part, press "options", and uncheck the "task battery indicator"..

By the way just incase you still don't know this.. If ever you're running WM2003SE you might want to tap and hold the upper right part, press on the "close button", click on the "feature options", click on the "Exceptions", click "add", select "browse", then go to windows and search on the "tmail.exe" then select it.
