[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penfold1992:
I was running through the root video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=g88PPZyvfDI) when I occurred an error at 16:40ish

it appears that I have unlocked my bootloader, then when it was beginning to root the device it installs a insecure boot rom, This appeared to go ok until I tried to enable debugging mode again.

so I enabled it and I got the message about the secure code and ticked the box and accepted that but I was unable to progress. I tried to switch the modes from PTP and MTP but still no success.

ive been running "adb devices" in a command prompt but I still cant get anything other than my serial code and "Offline". I tried installing several drivers but im unsuccessful with anything so far.

I had a HTC Desire Z before the nexus 4 and i rooted that ok but because that was a long time ago I redowloaded the android sdk and re-set up the environmental variables "path" but it hasnt changed anything as of yet...

does anyone have any suggestions as to what else I can try?

EDIT:

just got "device" to show up.. but my device was non responsive to the adb in fastboot? i received this error:

http://pastebin.com/JMvNpb7q

EDIT2:

maybe I dont have a insecure boot image... but the error above may be a reason?

Update your adb.exe tool its out of date that's way it says offline

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penfold1992:
i solved the issue and it was a weird one but maybe it will help someone else in the future...

if you are pretty sure you have everything fine, try a different USB slot.

try not to use a USB slot from a USB card but instead directly on the motherboard.

for some reason my TOP USB allowed my device to be found in FASTBOOT

and my BOTTOM USB allowed my device to be found in USB DEBUGGING MODE

so all I had to do was time it right and quickly swap between the top and bottom USB devices in the "waiting" phases.

It was quite a struggle but I managed to get there in the end!

final question... what rom is now on my device? what is the rom that ends up on your device at the end? is it a stock rom or a insecure rom or something else?

Thanks again for everyone who helped =)

Hi,

im quite new to rooting and custom roms.

I have rooted (ALLINONE) my device with the S3 ToolKit (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1703488)

My device had stock rom and was encrypted. I performed a factory reset from the stock rom (after a nandroid backup from the toolkit.

But the phone failed and booted into TWRP. When i try to wipe Dalvik Cache it sais failed..

I get "cannot mount internal storage" in the logs.

What sould i do? :(

I want to install the Paranoid Android ROM. But for now, whatever goes. Is there always an possibility to fix the phone as long as i get into the TWRP menu, or can it be permanently bricked now?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sponsen:
Yes im am able to open download mode. thanks for your quick reply :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sponsen:
Could i try to install a ROM from a external card without wiping dalvik? I was able to wipe "cache", but not factory reset or dalvik. havent tried anything else yet.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
To my knowledge, you can only access encrypted data with the instance of the ROM you encrypted it with.

I would expect you'd have to decrypt fully before wiping and flashing.

I may be wrong but there is a chance there's nothing you can do to get the data back :/

Everything possibly needs to be formatted.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sponsen:
I just took "format data" - it worked :) just to confirm i was on the right track, i tried dalvik again - it worked! OH YES. going forward :)

Whatever doesnt kill your phone makes you stronger, or something :P But what should i do now..?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It depends where you want to be...

I want to flash the Paranoid Android ROM.

I have downloaded the ROM + gapps from as stated in this link: (remote the [DOT] and replace it with a real dot) tothemobile[DOT]com/install-paranoidandroid-4-2-2-jelly-bean-custom-rom-on-galaxy-s3

but im not sure what steps i should do now. The toolkit dosnt have a feature covering my situation as far as i can see (a formatted phone), since the toolkit want me to boot it as normal to start the flash procedure - if i havent misunderstood this totally
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You don't really need the toolkit. Plus, it's really good to learn how to do things manually, in case you get in situations like this.

Sol exactly what state is the phone in?

What recovery has the phone got?

Does the phone now boot?

Is it wiped and internal storage works?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sponsen:
Thanks for your help - really appreciate it :)

Im not sure how i can describe the phones state more than i have now used "format data" in the TWRP recovery screen, the device is listing in the toolkit and im able to go into download mode. I dont have an external card for the phone now, but if its critical for the ongoing progress, ill get a hold of one.

EDIT:

When i hit "Install" in TWRP i am able to browse the internal memory. I can see:

cache

data

dev

efs

etc

external_sd

extSdCard

preload

proc

res

root

sbin

sdcard

sys

system

tmp
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Have a read of the "sticky roll-up thread" in general where there are guides for flashing etc

im not familiar with twrp. usually android sees /extSdCard as your removable sd. But recoveries usually use external_sd for the same location.

Essentially you put the zip on your sd and install via recovery. Have a look through those guides. I cant really help withy your recovery though as i dont know it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sponsen:
I believe that the case is resloved!

To users experiencing that wipes/factory reset fails on a device that have/had encrypted data, you must "format data" and then mount a SD card with the desired ROM and gapps. If you dont have the option of a external SD - i dont know what you have to do - but im sure the internet do ;)

It's built for TW, which tdunham's ROM is, so yes, it should flash just fine. Just do a backup just in case and flash away!

Hi , i read that the lag on android will always stay even with recent version of android because the ui priority in android is normal against high priority on ios and windows phone the reason they are smoother , and i am pretty sure that every user uses custom roms because he expects a smoother ui , as experienced dev , witch is more defecult for you , porting new roms with kernels and drivers and fixing bugs or modifying existing stable rom to give ui the first priority and then a smooth ui as never on android( not allowing background apps using more than 5% of cpu for example , and sacrifice the full CPU power to user when he put his finger on screen and lives background processes demands ) ??
[HTC One S] niksssss:
Hey guys ! Does it matter what RUU I am installing ? I mean my phone is vodafone branded (with CID VODAP001) and there are like 5-6 different Vodafone RUU's. Does it matter which I choose ?
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Well choosing a JB RUU would be the more natural route.

Anyway, inside every RUU there's à android-something.txt file. You can check it if it supports your phone CID and you're good to go.
[HTC One S] niksssss:
Thanks but I only have .exe file.... How can I find out if it will work.
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Yeah you have to run the RUU and then there's a firmware.zip saved to the Temporary folder (search the forums for the exact location) after running it. Inside the firmware.zip there's the android-info.txt. open it to see if your CID is supported.

Do this

without

connecting the phone.

How to flash:

turn OFF your tablet

BACKUP your data using recovery (and SD on first flash just in case)

full wipe is needed IF you aren't coming from other AOSP 4.2 rom

flash the rom

flash newest gapps (Google applications) from here -they NEED to be flashed after every ROM flash

boot

Kernels:

Here, I will provide the latest kernels for this ROM. DONT flash the directly from thread of the Kernel Devs. We need some special lines in RAMDISK. If u flash the Kernels directly from Devs thread, u will get into bootloop. Thats why i provide them here. Links will be up on evening today.

If u know how to exctract ramdisk out of boot.img u can do the following if u wish to do it on ur own:

*extract ramdisk out of the kernel u want

*in init.rc add in global enviroment setup (beginning of file)

export ANDROID_CACHE /data

*save the file

*pack the ramdisk with boot.img and flash

faux kernel

Will give it a go, but some bits should be non-functional (or useless on the Grouper) theoretically.

I have smartner duality installed on my Magician. Is there any way maybe via a registry editor to edit the name of the mailbox. It currently says Smartner Duality and I would like to edit it to reflect the fact that its my Lotus Notes emails coming through?

Anyone help? point me in the right direction?

thanks

dont know about smartner duality

or the reg key

but normal mailbox's you can change the name of

by going into them and choose account

and clicking next untill you choose if it's pop3 or ...

under there you set the name
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] felix66:

problem is that the smartner mailbox is not user controlled and doesn't appear in the accounts list. I was trying to figure out whether or not its possible to edit the name in the registry?

thanks for your help

Doesnt look so, I have changed the other names successfully and added the extra string - friendlyname ......... in the smartner / alwaysonmail key however the name is still the same, hence I dont it can be changed

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Tilagoon:
I am trying (as recommended) to make an EFS backup of my phone.

I have tried EFS Backup Pro but the version of busybox I have (the one from Play Google: 1.21.0) seem to have an applet missing: readlink.

They ask to downgrade to version 1.20.2 but so far I could not find the APK to do that :confused:

How can I downgrade busybox ?

I have also tried the tuto for the GS3 i9305 using QPST but when I dial *#7284# I don't get the Menu "Phone util" so I assume this procedure doesn't work for the Galaxy mega ?

Has anybody managed to save the EFS on the mega ??? If yes how ??

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ValenteL:
For this we must have root:

I have already a backup efs.img from i9205 made like this THREAD but changed the partition efs to 10 (see the screenshot). This command:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/storage/extSdCard/efs.img bs=4096

If I have some efs issue I will try the restore of it. (I'm not sure if this work. Take care, the responsibility is Your's)

PS: For i9200 You must see if the partition efs is the 10 also.

,
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Tilagoon:
Ok, thanks for your fast answer.

My phone is also a I9205, so I'll try.Anyway there is no risk as long as we don't restore the backup. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] SquirtingCherry:
Dont know if this will work but if you have root, install root explorer and just copy your efs folder to an ext SD card?

or am i thinking too simple about this?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ValenteL:
Yes, I confirm this work. I restored the efs twice whit Root Explorer on Galaxy Tab 7" P1000 and one on Note 10.1 N8000.

But we must verify the permissions, I compared whit another device. Can be some issues whit.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Tilagoon:
I had a look with root explorer and there is nothing after the permissions (rwxrwx) , no -> and no file name.

This is valid for all the directories in the root directories.

By the way the name I don't have the same directories as you ??

How did you get that ? Which file explorer ??
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ValenteL:
Root Explorer, now 2.21.1 version from Speed Software. On top we must put on R/W to see or change permissions.

For exemple: long touch on efs folder, on next window we have permissions. Touch on permissions, we see it on a new little window.

We can verify, change... or ok/cancel.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Tilagoon:
I am using Root explorer 3.and this is what I can see:

Doesn' really look like what you get !!

PS: Sorry but I did find yet how to put a miniature un the post :o
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ValenteL:
Good, is the new version 3 and You are already on r/w. Now make this:

Long touch on efs folder until you have a new window whit many options (attach1), also permissions (Permissões in Portuguese).

Touch on permissions, we see it on a new little window (attach2). This mean rwxrwx--x = 7,7,1 (my case).

Your is rwxrwxrwx = 7,7,7

(r=Leitura, w=Gravação, x=Executar)

We can verify, change... or ok/cancel.

See attachs:

PS: On version 3 You can mark efs at right and touch on menu. Is same.

Valente
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Tilagoon:
Yes, I have done that already and changed the last part of the permission to rwx (was--x) as you can see in may capture.

But still no indication like yours: -> mmcblk0p10 !!

And as you can see also my root directory is different from yours????
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ValenteL:
Because I prefer the Root Explorer old version 2.21.1 and invalidate the update of it on Play Store.

Updated now to vers 3 to test to You but I returned to old version. I like it more.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Tilagoon:
Ok, I'll try with the same version as yours and see what I get.

But my concern was that the name of the directories in my capture and yours are quite different and I don't think that the other version of Root explorer wil change anything. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Tilagoon:
I have installed version 2.21.1 and I get the same thing !

But I think I have finally understood what's going on: your first capture is not the capture of the Root directory as what we see are not sub-directories but files !!

Can you tell me the path to get that ??
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ValenteL:
Like I wrote. Long touch on efs folder, You have like my first screenshot whit options (Opções in Portuguese).
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Tilagoon:
I must be stupid but I can' get what I want which is show in the attachment below.

I have all the steps: mount R/W, long touch on EFS, then I get the options menu and if I go in permissions I can change them but when I say OK I return to the contents of the root directory.

I have tried to change the permissions but no way. I really don't see what more can be done to get this information.

I think I'll give up and will no longer bother you.

Any way thank you very much for your help and having be so patient.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ValenteL:
Take care, is not there, this is not the root directory. Is on Your screen post 8 on root you see efs folder. Is here You must try long touch... etc, my screens post 9.

This screen in this Your post is from /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/partitions, is not the root directory, the efs here is not a folder is a partition.

PS: Attach root directory whit efs folder, not file.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Tilagoon:
Thanks a lot !! I almost kill my self to find this.Now I have it (of course) :victory::victory::laugh:

I will do the save.
