[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockingondrums:
Yeah that looks like the best course of action. All that matters is trying to get the pics. I think after that they don't care if I reflash via Odin. Of course, if it's impossible I'm just going to tell them and offer to restore stock firmware which I've already downloaded.

These sound like a great idea. I'm already familiar with recoveries, I have Odin, I have the triangle away apk already (although it requires root).... I mean I myself have a USA variant of the S3. I'm pretty sure mounting in recovery is the only chance.

My only worry is that I seem to remember not being able to do this with my Verizon variant for some reason...

Also, if you can help me find the update.zip that would be much appreciated. :)

Thank you!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
If you specifically use Philz recovery (link in my signature) that [MENTION=4017954]Erahgon[/MENTION] suggested, if you go into "Mounts and storage" you can use "mount /data".

From here, (assuming you're set up to use adb) you can use the following commands in windows cmd or Linux terminal:

adb pull /data/media/DCIM c:\users\myusername\Desktop

The "Mount /sdcard" options in recovery wont help.

OR, if you have an external SD card, you can follow the Instructions for Philz recovery to put aroma filemanager on the sdcard. This allows you to use a file manager from inside Philz recovery. You action this (once you have the zip in the correct place on external sdcard) Philz Settings > Aroma File manager.

Within there, you'll be able to copy the DCIM folder to external SD easily.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockingondrums:
Wow thanks for this idea. But I went ahead and took care of it in a more roundabout way, which I'll detail for a future searcher.

I flashed Philz recovery. Then I flashed a ROM that was basically stock rooted. Then I gave the phone back. I didn't want to keep their phone too long. I figured that she got her data and hopefully maybe the inconvenience of having to restore apps along with this incident would teach her to store pics on an external from now on. The ROM also came with a 50 GB dropbox bonus, so I told them to sign up for that and start using it.

I remembered through research that custom recoveries will leave data/media alone (or internal sd) while still erasing all user apps when doing factory reset. And installing custom ROMs also leaves that alone. It took me numerous flashes, but I already had triangle away so I used that. The counter is unfortunately stuck at 1, but I asked first if they planned on keeping the phone or getting warranty service. They planned on keeping it, so I just told them if they ever needed to warranty it or something to just bring it back to me.

I also made sure to set SuperSU to deny root by default (except triangle away)... There was no way I was going to leave that power unchecked in her hands.

Thank you again for the help, everyone. When I get a chance I'll report my own thread to get it locked.

If any future searcher finds this and has questions, PM me.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] otacon507:
Hello my friends, I would like to make sure I am clear on how to return the 1727 to stock in order to return to ATT for service.

My understanding thus far is that I must do the following:

1. Return to stock firmware using ODIN

2. Reset the flash counter

How do I delete the traces of CWM recovery, and also ODIN itself? Is it possible to make the phone look entirely 'unrooted' for ATT to fix and/or service?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Flash the stock rom with odin. It'll replace cwm with the stock recovery. You can use triangle away to reset the flash counter. Do that after returning to stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Hello friend! Read the stickies and previous threads asking the same question.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] otacon507:
did not see anything about the flash counter in the stickies, or any details about what happens to the custom recovery after ODIN restores to stock, thats why I made this post!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] otacon507:
Are you sure triangle away will work with the 1727? Its not on the list of supported devices
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
A stock tar restores stock 3e recovery. If you're counter had not been incremented, and it probably hasn't, you don't need triangle away. We also have a "counter reset" that you can flash if you have increased your counter. So, no need for triangle away anyways.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] otacon507:
Thanks crazy, Im not getting a triangle but my counter is definitely incremented from flashing cfw through odin. Looks like I'll be squared away soon, my thanks again! Much appreciated!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
What is cfw? And did you actually check the counter?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] otacon507:
unofficial firmware. and I checked the counter in ODIN after using the flash reset and it is back to 'NO'. I am assuming flashing a stock firmware using a recovery tar will no retrip the counter, so i am good? Thank you !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Using the official tar from sammobile will not trip the counter. You are good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
the only way you could of tripped the counter was by flashing koanes tar rom from way back in the i727 early development or similiar modded roms which there are none that tripped the counter in the past 12months or more. if you did trip the counter there is a reset fix in the 1stop sticky, triangle away wont work for our devices

to return to att just use odin to return to stock as it will replace everything you flashed and be completely stock, just follow the guides
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jondroid2:
Do you have to use Odin or will one of the cwm flashable stock JB Roms by Mohan + factory reset suffice?:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrfeuss:
I suppose you could do flashable zips but you still have to return to the stock recovery. I'm pretty sure there is a flashable stock recovery around somewhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jondroid2:
Does it matter if the stock recovery is listed as an ICS stock recovery or will it work for JB also?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
It won't matter if it's ics or jb since there both officially released by att. You can find the stock firmware at sammobile.com. They're zip files and you'll need to extract the .tar.md5 file from them to use in odin. Use 7-zip to extract.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihahn:
Actually it is better to do it manually because you will gain some experience. A toolkit is one click and everything done, but you won't really understand what the toolkit did. So better do it manually, it's pretty easy (if you have set up fastboot and adb) and you will learn much ;)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norcal61:
I broke the screen on my first nexus7 so I'm on my second now. When I got my fist one I tried using wugs toolkit and had problems installing the adb drivers on my PC. So I tried mskip's after that and it worked great with no problems. I used mskip's for a long time for restoring back to factory. Me personally I didn't care for wugs. Now a days I don't use any toolkit. I instead use adb/fastboot for everything.

I use Wug's toolkit a lot. I consider it a must have for any Nexus owner.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glenb83:
Hi all,

I have just tried installing the Cyanogenmod 10.1 and Team EOS 4.0 Jellybean ROM's on my Australian Motorola Xoom on the Optus network. They both installed fine, but I could not get 3G working on either.

When I go into Search Networks it usually tries searching for a few seconds then just goes back to search or connect automatically. Sometimes it shows a list of providers, but as soon as I choose one it says registered on network but 3G still does not work. On the lock screen it says YES OPTUS as the network under the unlock button and it does show a signal in white in the top right hand corner but never gets a data connection.

Can anyone help me get 3G on my Xoom?

Thanks!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] wootonius:
I'm not sure if the problem is the phone or (multiple) chargers but for the second S4 in a row (got the first one replaced) I am unable to charge my phone. When I plug my phone into chargers (including the stock one and multiple known working chargers of 2.1a), the phone does not charge. I have tried with different wall chargers and a car charger but have not had luck. When I plugged the phone into my desktop, the machine refused to load on reboot claiming that a USB device was causing a over-current problem. After unplugging the phone, the computer was then able to boot.

Does anyone know what might be causing this?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DenisEhm:
Hi all,

I once more turn to XDA gurus for some advice and also questions. Let me start with saying that I have very basic experience with android phones: my main phone is an iPhone but I love to play with Android devices to fill in the iOS blanks. I own a Samsung Infuse (with a custom ROM but very unstable) and briefly had an HTC One but returned it.

Anyway, I bought an AT&T S4; it's unlocked and works great. However I'm in Canada on Rogers and couldn't care less about the bloatware installed on it. Here come the questions:

- Does anyone know of a way to install the stock Rogers ROM on this phone (more like where to get it)?

- Alternately, would you recommend to install another ROM?

Here's the thing: a week after I bought mine, Google announced the Google editions; would have known I would have waited to get that.

- Would it be recommendable to flash the Google ROM on my phone?

- Would there be a way to install some of the Samsung SPKs on such a ROM (I could never seem to do it on my Infuse)?

I know how to flash a ROM, and it's well documented in the Forums. I'm more after opinions; my experience with flashing ROMs on my Infuse has been spotty at best. Seems like no matter what I did, the phone would become unusably unstable after a while. This scares me because it seems like the Infuse is one of the most modded phones out there... The S4 is very impressive and I don't want to hinder it's performance in any way.

If none of this is doable/recommendable, then I might sell this one and pay the extra $100 and get the Google edition.

I appreciate any input!

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DenisEhm:
Well, I know it's not polite to bump your own post, but I would really appreciate some feedback.

And actually I'll add a bit more to it: let's say I either try the Google ROM or decide to buy a Google Edition, there are some pretty cool apps included with the Samsung version (such as multi window and air gestures). Is it possible to have those available on the Google Edition/ROM?

Thanks and sorry again for my lack of knowledge in the area...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] neo_styles:
Consensus with the GE ROMs for the S4 are that they're WAY too stripped down in comparison to other AOSP options (of which GE is NOT, it's actually TW disguised as AOSP). I, personally, would avoid using GE and instead opt for something like AOKP if you want that same feel. I just flashed FoxHound and really like the hybrid aspect of it in the fact that you keep all the gimmicky TW features (the hover and voice stuff as well as multi-window), the menu structures are similar, but it brings all the bonuses that having an AOSP ROM does. There are some extra steps involved which [MENTION=333046]Axman[/MENTION] has taken his time to explain (you have to manually input your APN), but the end result is worth it.

Good luck and read around.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
well spoken my friend. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DenisEhm:
Thank you very much for the clarification. I was actually in the process of reading Axman's posts. To be honest I'm totally overwhelmed. I didn't imagine it to be so complicated; I'm really torn between ROM and keeping stock because of the TW cool stuff... I will keep reading around as all good n00b should.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] neo_styles:
It's much less complicated than it seems, but you do need to follow the steps as outlined or you could end up with anything from a borked flash to a bricked phone depending on what you're trying to do. I recommend playing with a i337m ROM that is TW-based for your first, just to get the hang of things as it'll provide the least steep learning curve. Go for these steps at first:

1. Enable Developer Options (go to Settings/About/tap on build until it says they're enabled)

2. Run one click root/recovery from Adam Outler

3. Transfer and flash ROM of your choice

Just know that people flash for different reasons ranging from wanting less bloat to more battery life to a morbid case of flashaholism (such as myself and [MENTION=3802385]TheAxman[/MENTION]). There's nothing saying you have to go balls to the wall here and you may find yourself completely happy with the stock ROM and a better kernel. Just read up and it'll make perfect sense.

Last word of advice: have Odin and the stock ROM on hand so you can flash back to stock if necessary. Some ROMs don't play well when flashed on top of others, even if you do a full wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AndroidPwnsMe:
I was actually in the exact same situation as you.

However, I decided to flash a TW based ROM to keep all the cool Samsung features.

I'd recommend any of the Stock Based ones here:

Thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
Don' t take the loki thing and run with it..if you are rooted and have recovery installed, flash the rom of choice and use a att kernel that already has been loki'ed.

Simple. That way you will never go wrong.

The Ax says this is my method of choice. Could care less about loki.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to change the preset values on the drop-down menu in the subject field when creating a new appointment in pocket calendar??

I love everything about this machine but this is the only annoying thing because i have alot of appointments that start with the same subject, it would be easier to click the correct subject and add the bits that are needed.

I tried looking in the registry and searching for the fields but I couldnt find anything that existed! This is the only feature missing in my mind!! if anyone knows a way to fix these presets to different values that would be great.

[Ouya Android Development] WhoDunnit:
I guess everybody would like to expand the Ouya's internal memory. I tried the usual tools, and although DirectoryBind is working, it doesn't help much because there are no obb or data directories to be moved for Ouya games.

However, Link2SD works just fine!

Prerequisites:

Installed SuperUser on Ouya

Link2SD apk

USB drive with a 2nd primary partition formatted as ext4

There are plenty of guides that explain how to get the SuperUser apk installed, so just use the search button above.

The Link2SD apk you can install on your phone from Google Play, and copy it to some place from where you can install it on your Ouya.

Use any tool (gparted, MiniTool Partition, etc.) to create a 2nd, primary partition on your USB drive, and format it to ext4. Use the search button if you are in doubt.

Now, Link2SD does not seem to recognize that there is indeed an ext4 formatted 2nd partition on the USB drive.

To make it work you have to mount it manually (see below), or install my SDExt2Mounter for Ouya, or use the script in post #3.

Manual way:

So, insert the USB drive in Ouya, and do the following:

[in adb shell]:

su

mkdir /data/sdext2

mount -t ext4 /dev/block/vold/8\:2 /data/sdext2

exit

:victory: Now start Link2SD on the Ouya, and start using that cumbersome touchpad to move apps and data (use the Link button, as Move to SD card does not work for Ouya) to your new found storage space! There are some options in the Link2SD menu to make all future installed app be automatically moved (and linked) to the new location, but I haven't tested that one yet.

:rolleyes: Of course things will break if you remove the USB drive from the Ouya, and if you really power down the Ouya, you have to make sure you first mount the ext4 partition before the launcher starts, or you cannot use the games!

Use SDExt2Mounter:

Make sure you have rooted your Ouya and installed busybox; you will have to reroot your Ouya after each firmware upgrade!

Install SDExt2Mounter; you will find the app in the "PLAY" menu, not in the "MAKE" menu. Yes! My first Ouya app! :o

Start SDExt2Mounter

Grant it PERMANTENT root access if asked

Press the (make and) mount button

Press the AutoMount on Boot button

Reboot your Ouya

After the reboot step, your Ouya will automatically mount the sdext2 partition so your games will show up in the launcher. Obviously, you only need to go through these steps once.

Start the app, grant it PERMANTENT root access, and hit the "(make and) mount button".

Changelog:

v1.2: Added Automount option to mount sdext2 on boot, so your games show up in the launcher.

v1.1: Corrected directory path; added SuperUser permission
[Ouya Android Development] professorpoptart:
Awesome! on the todo list.. FYI though be sure not to put your main launcher or su stuff on the linked partition.

[Ouya Android Development] JLCollier2005:
What happens if you start up your OUYA with the USB drive not plugged in? Would it just not show the apps? Or maybe show an error? Basically I'm wondering if there could be any complications with the OUYA if I forgot to add the HDD to the OUYA before turning it on.
[Ouya Android Development] professorpoptart:
The links are basically shortcuts made to the app on the new partition. The same idea if you remove a drive with all your steam games on it, worst case the shortcut won't work.

Also they would then just show a link icon instead of the actual app icon as this is rendered from a file in the apk itself.
[Ouya Android Development] The Old One:
After reboot even with the init script any linked apps were gone for me
[Ouya Android Development] okstranger:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, since I am in no way an expert, but looking at the init.d script I think there should be a space in between 'shmkdir /data/sdext2' and 'mount -t...' ? Haven't powered down yet so I can't confirm whether it works or not.
[Ouya Android Development] BALivindream:
I have this working great now!

When I tried to go to the play store and download Universal Init.d, it would force close upon opening. I had to search for and download an earlier version, Uni-init v1.0.apk.

It does take longer for my OUYA to boot now, so just wait for it.
[Ouya Android Development] foil:
Do you mind if I add this script into my Ouya ToolBox?
