[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Thanks for this question. I've been looking for missing things in my Understanding the basics before rooting your S3 thread.

I've added this under the "popular misconceptions" section.

Can I just say though, please can you post questions in q&a? General is not for questions or support :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazevxi:
I don't think the two are related. Rooting won't increase the performance of an app. It might be an issue with chrome

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoadXY:
The Samsung framework is missing (obviously) in the CM ROM so any Samsung specific application will not work.

Unless someone is willing to invest a lot of time and port things over.

Changes are it will never happen.

Many guys brick there fone while flashing some rom or upgrading or downgrading to different android versions......

But unbricking a SOFT BRICKED canvas 2 is not a big deal.....

Just follow these steps..

FIRST METHOD

1.Download the following zip file from here

and boot into recovery mode by pressing volume up+volume down+power buttons simultaneously.

2.Now select format data/wipe delvic cache and also wipe cache partition. Go to advanced and wipe delvic cache.

3.Now place the above zip file in ur fones sd card( u may use a memory card reader or another fone for connecting ur memory card wid pc)

4.Go to mounts and storage and select mount sd card select format system.

5.Then go back and select install zip from sd card>choose from sd card and select the above downloaded zip file.

6.After installation completes go back and select reboot system now.

IF U R STILL STUCK AT BOOT LOGO THEN GO FOR THE SECOND METHOD OR OTHERWISE ENJOY AS UR FONE IS BACK TO LIFE AGAIN.

SECOND METHOD

1.First of all download and extract the following file to any specified folder........

A.STOCK JELLYBEAN.RAR

B.SP FLASH TOOLS

*************THE PASSWORD OF SP FLASH TOOLS IS "jatin@1" (without quotation marks)****************

2.now remove ur fone's battery and keep it aside.

3.go to the folder where u have extracted sp flash tools. Run it as administration.

4.click on scatter loading option and browse for the folder where u have extracted jb(or ics rom).

5.now click on firmware upgrade option if flashing jb or if flashing ics click download option.

6.connect ur fone to pc.

Let the process complete. After it completes reinsert the battery and switch on ur fone.

And wid this u should have successfully unbricked ur fone..

Note:U will observe dat ur fone is unrooted again and cwm or twrp recovery has been replaced by stock recovery.

hit thx if i helped...
[Micromax A110] mufti.arfan:
this is not for unbricking its simple getting out of bootloop , a bricked phone cant be turned on. bricked simply means a phone becomes a brick and shall be used in some wall and cemented lol..

P.S the second method can be used on mtk devices if they get bricked, probably by removing battery and just connecting the USB cable to phone and keepingSPflash on it will detect and flash .
[Micromax A110] jatin@1:
I know dat a bricked fone cant be turned on but instead of making two different threads of getting out of bootloop and unbricking i combined them into one.

Moreover many newbies simply use the term 'brick' instead of searching bootloops....
[Micromax A110] ROIT16:
Thanks for this guide very helpfull
[Micromax A110] rishu007:
nice tut

Thanks man very important thead :good:
[Micromax A110] jatin@1:

Good thread!

But just want to tell all users that it is always recommended to do a nandroid backup before flashing any mods, ROM's or anything.

That way, You have handy way to restore phone from soft bricks and even prevent all you data loss.

Method 1 described here, wipes data. I soft bricked my handset yesterday, while applying a framework patch! But instead of flashing the whole ROM again, i restored my backup which i took just before flashing that patch, and everything were in place, just as before!

Hope this will help!
[Micromax A110] jatin@1:
Hmm...that's a good way. Restoring backups even restore your data. So there is no data loss even.:thumbup:

But my method described the case when a newbie has not taken any preventive steps and simply has bricked his phone ( soft bricked).:p
[Micromax A110] shrimufc7126:
yaa...thats what i did...i did not take a backup....now m screwed...please help
[Micromax A110] jatin@1:
Bro please check your private message.
[Micromax A110] dhrtlockeroo9:
1) First perform an uninstall of the MMX/Mobistel drivers you already have on*

your P.C. Install the drivers again.*

2) On the PC/Laptop, start SP flash tool and select the right scatter from the factory stock A110 ROM.*un-tick*all except the first five (Preloader, DSP_BL, MBR, EBR1, UBOOT) + CWM recovery (You should have replaced default recovery with CWM recovery in the ROM folder). Click “Firmware-upgrade, Download.

3) With battery taken off from your phone connect it to the PC/Lap using the USB cable.

4) If your battery was having good charge when you were bricked, you can now power on to recovery mode and flash your CWM saved ROM or any other ROM.

5) If your battery was low, when you were bricked, leave it to charge for an hour before attempting to flash the entire stock ROM through SP flash or CWM.
[Micromax A110] jatin@1:
Good... but i don't think there is any need to uninstall drivers.
[Micromax A110] dhrtlockeroo9:
Maybe its need to uninstall to drivers smtimes driver doesn't install properly..bcoz if there miss any DLL file of windows its work bt nt perfectly n u never think its driver problem..!
[Micromax A110] rohit297:
Is there any possible way to hard brick my phone, i know u wud be wondering to see this post, but what i do, i have already created a thread in genera section about the prob of dust under screen after a mmx sc touch repair, if i hard brick my phone n give it to them, i am sure they won't be able to make it alive and if i continuously stay in there touch then may i get a new phone
[Micromax A110] mufti.arfan:
They'll probably tell you that board needs replacement, then you will be left with no choice.
[Micromax A110] jatin@1:
Yup.... don't be sooo overconfident that you will surly get a new phone.

If in case they proves that you are responsible for the faults and errors than you will get a new phone but from market after paying for it.:p

[Micromax A110] jatin@1:
Simply go to control panel and un-install all Micromax a110 canvas 2 related things (i.e. drivers and related).

Then go to this thread HERE and re-install your drivers.

Then re-flash stock rom via sp flash tools and it should work.:thumbup:

Brick a110

Using sp flash tool i deleted bootloader and nvram, please help, now my phone is not turning on, not even charging
[Micromax A110] jatin@1:
First for bringing your phone to life once again follow this procedure.

Step1-->(THIS ONE IS SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT) stay calm and assure yourself that everything is right. Say your heart "ALL IS WELL".

STEP 2-->follow this procedure given HERE. This will bring your phone back to life that is your phone will boot up.

But still as you have wiped your navRAM so you will receive wifi and Bluetooth problems but that can be solved later.

STEP 3--> after doing everything in right way and bringing your phone back to life visit xda again and hit thanks.:p

Hehe...lol.I was jesting. Hit thanks only if you want.

BEST OF LUCK.
[Micromax A110] markypuno:
thanks for the reply jatin , i tried following the steps but sp tools is not detecting the phone when i connect it
[Micromax A110] jatin@1:
All you need to do is to install proper drivers for your phone.

Use this thread to install proper drivers.

Than again follow the above mentioned procedure

sir please help which method to choose

sir i'm facing bootlooping problem from 3 days in my micromax a110 canvas 2 mobile

first of all i swapped internal & external storage does this cause any problem when installing

custom rom because when i wipe dalvik cache it gives "E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]"

and after that next it says "dalvik cache wiped"

ive tried the method of removing boot loop by removing battery its not working

i have created system backup but

when i try to restore it shows error md5 mismatch

please help
[Micromax A110] jatin@1:
Have you followed any of the two methods which are described in the op?

Regarding that delvic cache problem,I think that's a recovery fault. Pls try to flash a new and any other custom recovery.

B/w you said that "I tried the method of removing bootloop by removing the battery.".....what is this buddy?:)

If you are saying that u tried to pull out the battery and then made an attempt to switch it on,then it won't yield anything.

or you are saying that you tried the first method mentioned in the op??
[Micromax A110] chirag42007:
man ur a saviour!

i had a rooted canvas 2 running on stock jelly bean os. but after rooting my phone my network connections were not considered to be secure by google and so was unable to use data connection on google services using my carrier services or wifi, so i decided to unroot my device but i couldnt find a proper unrooting method and so i decided to flash the stock rom to unroot my device. thanku so much for posting this method! although the boot logo has changed, everything else pretty much seems the same! didnt go deep into technical stuffs.

just one question- do i have my warranty back?:confused:
[Micromax A110] jatin@1:
Yup....u have ur warranty back.

But still don't tell sc people about all the tricks u played;)

bootloop

""THANK YOU SIR 1st method worked for me

and regarding than battery you got me i'm noob or you can say newbie :rolleyes:

i'm trying to learn more about android by reading

sir what is md5 mismatch error(cheksum error) ??

does swapping internal and external sd card ie partitioning effect(create problem)

when we flash rom??"
[Micromax A110] jatin@1:
Its ok. No one starts his race from finish line. The thing which matters is not when you start up but how fast u catch up..;). Now coming to technology from philosophy :D--:

MD5 is (also) used to check data integrity i.e. it checks the accuracy and design of data with respect to the system which stores or uses that data. B/w have u faced any md5 mismatch error while restoring a backup?

And that swapping part...do want to change the storage partitions to ur wish? Or u are simply asking that will it change automatically after flashing a new(custom) rom.

Well most devs do not mess up with this part untill and unless its not required. So will get same amount of space after flashing a new rom(I.e. same amount of internal and external sd data).

error in creating nandroid backup

"ya earlier when i was restoring backup and was stuck in a bootloop i got md5 mismatch error then i used your method of getting out of bootloop

sir actually i partitioned the sd card to increase internal storage to about 2.5 gb and internal sd card at 50mb

now i think this may be responsible for the error i'm facing while creating nandroid backup

as a noob i did a lot of blunders i restored titanium backup files after porting to jb from ics(ie system+appdata and apks)

i recently did factory reset also but the problem persists

sir please look at the recovery log to suggest any solution

[Micromax A110] jatin@1:
Going for a factory reset won't provide the solution as such changes are applied to /system partition(where the system data is stored) and factory reset only wipes off data partition(where user data is stored).

You can try changing ur phones partition again to the desirable size(default one) by using this app--> http://d-h.st/9UG and then try restoring again.

Haven't read the whole list yet as m feeling drowsy. But the backup data seems to be (not sure) corrupted. B/w have u made it with the help of rom manager(logs showed that)?:eek:

Still,u can have a chance by changing ur partition size to default and try to restore again(though I don't think that it is more probable ;))

stuck at bootloop

Hi,

I was trying to act smart by installing android tweaker pro 2 on my wife's canvas 2. It's running on cynus t2 rooted one and it was getting buggy. Hoped to solve the problems using above app and impress wifey but got stuck at boot loop.

I did 2 things on that app ..

1. Zipalign all the apps. When it asked for a restart after this, I selected no.

2. Clicked on clearing all caches, including dalvik. This time I allowed it to restart.

At restart it displays that it's trying to do something at the system level ( with green android image and blue status bar filling) for few seconds and then restarts and does the same again and again.

I tried with removing the battery for half an hour and starting it in recovery mode which displays the recovery options for a second and then boot it in normal mode which goes into loop again. Basically I can't access recovery anymore and the phone doesn't boot.

Could have used your 2nd trick but I m sitting in a hotel room with no access to laptop and wife is gonna travel in the morning.

So, please tell me is there anything I can do without going into recovery and without a laptop and save my skin?

****

I dont know how but it got solved. The only thing I did for 2 days was to attempt to reboot the phone into recovery mode which was not happening. So at one point of time when it was at the start screen and was about to fall into the bootloop, I just pressed the power button for few seconds and released. It booted normally after that and did not give that issue again.

[Micromax A110] banjara:
i actually wanted to unroot my phone and i thought the 2nd process is a good way to do that. However, i was having issues when sp flash tool could not detect my phone for flashing. Installed all the drivers, pdanet etc but still it could not detect my phone. however, it worked when i connected my phone with battery inside and it flashed the firmware too. Now the stock JB is running fine on my phone.

I am wondering why the instructions say that you should remove your battery first. and does it damage the phone if I keep battery inside the phone while flashing a new firmware?

[Micromax A110] jatin@1:
it was just mentioned so that no one shall flash a new firmware without a properly switched off phone in a hurry.;)

just to avoid another petty chance of a bootloop.

ALL YOU NEED IS A PROPERLY SWITCHED OFF PHONE.
[Micromax A110] jatin@1:
First check out this thread for your drivers related problem. It should do the work. Then again try to follow the second method mentioned in this thread.

*in case if you are unable to flash the firmware even after installing the drivers via the way mentioned in that thread ,try to go for meta mod and flash recovery and then follow the first method.

b/w if you can boot into recovery then it would be the easiest way to escape outta chaos.

THEN SIMPLY FOLLOW THE FIRST METHOD THAT I THINK IS PRETTY EASY TO GET OUTTA BOOTLOOP.

BEST OF LUCK!!
