[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] egolabbakhsh:
downloading the kernel right now, then going for the actual rom. thanks for the link.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] egolabbakhsh:
kies fails to recognize it in dl mode, and the frequency of rebooting is too high that it cant catch it in the normal mode either!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] egolabbakhsh:
flashed the kernel, I have to wait half an hour for the website to give me another dl, do you happen do you know of any recovery .tar images that could be directly flashed to the phone? I have not been able to locate one.

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Russ77:
no, I don't. sorry.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] egolabbakhsh:
It's ok, thanks for all your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Go to sammobile.com. you have to register but it's free. You'll download a zip. Extract the .tar.md5 file from it using 7-zip. Use that in odin. It's the stock firmware
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] egolabbakhsh:
will do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] egolabbakhsh:
should I look under the firmware or forums? I can't find united states in the firmware when I select my device, I I am not sure if the copies would be ligit if I get them through the forums.

thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Firmware. Should be a walk you through process. SmartPhone; android; phone, i337; carrier
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] egolabbakhsh:
found it thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] egolabbakhsh:
I don't mind you liking my thread, ;)

but should I put it dl mode and try it there or let it keep resetting and try to get a hold of it there?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] egolabbakhsh:
it's 3am, worked on it from the last message, I can't get Kies to recognize the device, removing the program, the drivers, restarting it and everything it doesn't matter what I did, no promising outcomes. I am an electrical engineer, I have programmed so many chips in my life can't understand how rewriting the stock rom into the memory doesn't restore the phone, unless there are some parts that the manual rom flashing accesses that Odin doesn't. only thing that made me go for this many hours is the fact that I have this unknown device in my computer after kies installs the drivers and I cannot make the computer to fully install it.

Thanks to you all for your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jamalismail32:
Same exact problem. I was flashing the Foxhound 0.1 , can't remember what exactly happened but I do remember flashing the wrong ATT kernel. I think it was a galaxy s3 ktoonz. Phone wont boot to first logo, vibrates every 5-7 seconds. No recovery mode, but download mode is accessible. Used ODIN to get stock firmware, KIES doesnt recognize it, the stock firmware on ODIN passes. Still no boot. I remember reading something about how the Galaxy S4 uses symlinks with the partitions and when you use a recovery one of the partitions is now missing cause it doesn't flash them all anyway. The only fix I've found is mobiletechvideos with the jtag. I did this a while ago, I had to buy a new one at retail. Running Foxhound 1.1 with KTweaker 7/11 TW kernel and its flawless. I just wasn't paying attention. its like a $60 fix. Should've done that besides shelling out $700... You live and learn. If you guys find another fix then great job. The symlink is missing permanently i think :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
A $7.00 jiig would have gotten you into download mode, done this for numerous customers here.

Invest in one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jamalismail32:
I could get into download mode. Recovery mode was the problem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ra990:
I just installed CM 10.1, have been on 4.1.2 before this.

I can't find the right settings for a sound mode where gmail notificiations will only play a sound and not vibrate.

I have disabled vibration in the options in Gmail, but the Gmail notifications are still vibrating. I have also tried the various sound modes available in CM. This is a deal killer for me because my phone will be vibrating all day long annoying the hell out of me. Putting it in silent and also losing the sound notification is not an option.

This seems to be an issue others have pointed out: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1785800&page=3

Is there a fix/workaround?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ra990:
Found the issue...it was profiles. I have to go into the Application Groups in the Profiles menu and change all the application options to not override for ring, vibrate, and light.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AlphaDelta1:
Awesome post!! Thanks so much for bringing this up....

as a new user I did not know how profiles override system settings in the setting menu. ESPECIALLY vibrate and notifications!!!

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warrior1988:
I have a visual land prestige 10 and I want to dump it as a rom or extract the update.img.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kao_u20i:
Hi Guys,

Am pretty annoyed right now. At a wedding last night I recorded a number of videos on my XZ. First recording of the night numbered *003.MP4 and last one was *021.MP4.

Looked at my gallery earlier to discover that files 03 - 010.mp4 are missing, and I have older videos 001 and 002.MP4 followed by 011 to 021.MP4. Couldn't figure out why the other 8 videos are missing as they were recorded in exactly the same was at the later videos (stored on internal storage), so decided to try data recovery.

Minefield. I installed MyJad Data Recovery For Android which it turns out is shareware. Installed for free and it thankfully shows the missing files, along with their respective filesizes. Promising start, but unable to restore through the app without purchase. Since this didn't happen through user error and I already have Active@ installed I'm reluctant to spend money on this...

In order to use Active@ or any other free software I've found (Stellar Phoenix Recovery looks good) I need to have a drive letter assigned to perform the recovery. Unable to do so as I have trawled the internet for hours and it seems there is no way to assign a drive letter to the internal storage of the phone (Portable device only, does not show in disk management)

I decided to go down the route of imaging the internal storage in order to mount it as a drive using daemon tools and try to recover it from there but am also having no luck being able to make a full image.

My Z is rooted and running original firmware with locked bootloader. Does anyone know of any free software I can use to either mount the internal with a drive letter, image it, or of data recovery software (Windows 7 or android based) that can scan a portable media device?

I know I can switch from MTP to MSC but Sony have tied access to the external SD only so the internal storage cannot be accessed in this way. Also the filesystem is NTFS so Undelete for Root doesn't work as it supports FAT only

K
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgs1992:
Even if you do mount internal storage in MSC, it's still going to be an ext3 partition.

I would recommend you try hexamob recovery to recover the lost files.

This free version is capable of recovering files.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xchasa:
Also if connected to pc can scan with recuva free tool.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgs1992:
There is no recovery software that can work over MTP without direct access to the filesystem.

However, here is a method to extract the internal memory to a file and use data recovery software on that:

http://www.alliance-rom.com/community/wiki/recover-deleted-files/ (It's at the end)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xchasa:
Strange. I lost my whole Downloads folder on phone, plugged in to pc after changing file transfer setting in Xperia settings, and recovered 95% of my stuff using recuva.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgs1992:
That's probably because it was your external memory card mounted in MSC mode and not the internal one.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xchasa:
Thought Downloads was on internal mate? I remember it not working first time, then changed a setting and it restored.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgs1992:
I've set my downloads to external

If you did do it, what would be more helpful is how you did it, not what you did. :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xchasa:
Used this.

http://www.piriform.com/recuva

Had Usb debugging on.

Played with the settings in Xperia/Usb connection.

Searched for lost file by name (Downloads)with recuva on internal sd and restored to c drive. Went through and deleted any corrupted files and copied back to phone.

Can't remember if I was rooted or exactly what setting I chose though.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kao_u20i:
[Hi all, thank you for your suggestions. Tried Hexamob but not possible. Recuva seems to be the way forward for most but I had no luck with it. I'd already installed it and uninstalled it prior to posting about the problem, but reinstalled to give it another chance. I used the wizard (you have to specify a drive with an assigned letter in standard/advanced) and in the wizard I chose to search portable media but I get the following error;

"No drives were scanned, because none matches with the filter"

Couldn't 'search a specific location' as due to no drive letter it didn't show...

Found the following which has been invaluable so far.... I have created an image and assigned it a drive letter - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1994705

Initial recovery using Recuva has been patchy - the file sizes are small and there's not much content for each video.... but my quest continues. At the very least I now have a full internal memory dump, that's a huge leap in progress :) I can stop falling asleep on my laptop now and relax a bit!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgs1992:
Good to hear. Thanks for the link. Hope you were able to recover most of your data. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] LastStandingDroid:
I was checking out when i found some nice information about KLP inside 4.3 Kernel BOOT.IMG

what i fould was:

# belows will be removed at KLP

mkdir /data/system/databases 0771 system system

copy /data/data/com.sec.android.providers.drm/databases/drmdatabase.db /data/system/databases/drmdatabase.db

chown system system /data/system/databases/drmdatabase.db

chmod 0774 /data/system/databases/drmdatabase.db

# ]

This maybe launch point or anything else but maybe its a sign that KLP is planned :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 General] kaalalto:

It makes sense since we think that 4.3 Jelly Bean is just a transitionnal version of Android !

So not sure exactly what happened while running the lastest paranoid build. Everything was fine until a random reboot happened, said proccess stopped working and rebooted once more except for im on white screen. went to wipe data and reflash the rom but sd card has been wiped. I am s-on and cant get adb to recognize my device. Any advice please.
[HTC Droid DNA] ML417:
go into recovery and try turning adb sideload on then off and see if adb recognizes your device after that.
[HTC Droid DNA] IceAzures:
failed to open driver control: no such file or directory

when i start adb, it zooms really fast through codes and then exits.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Then you didn't set adb up correctly

Edit: now that I think of it you may be typing in the command incorrectly.
[HTC Droid DNA] IceAzures:
Ill reinstall the sdk and drivers and ill report back.

This is the correct way right?

[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
I'd recommend you flash twrp then adb push your rom, then flash it
[HTC Droid DNA] IceAzures:
Okay im going to post the steps and maybe this will be easier for all of us.

1- Flashed Paranoid

2- Flashed crpalmers boot.img in flashgui

3- Phone was good for a solid day, then rebooted.

4- After reboot phone said a lot of the services are force closing and then rebooted into the white htc screen

5- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2131284 and followed it to the T

6- phone is not being recognized in adb

7- went to flash the recovery but its waiting on device even though its in fastboot usb

Maybe im missing a driver or a step I am not sure about but hopefully that helps a bit more than posting little by little.
