Just a "heads up", I just did the OTA update to I9300XXEMG4 (4.1.2) - United Kingdom (BTU) on my SIII. Working perfectly before the update on the previous most recent stock.

After the OTA update, the phone gets as far as the Samsung boot animation and goes no further. Factory reset via recovery menu but it makes no difference. The phone has never been modified in any way.

It's going off for repair/replacement back to Samsung UK but as it might happen to others out there, I thought it was worth mentioning.

My gut feeling is that this is a symptom of SDS, showing up only at update time.

Sigh.....

[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
If it boots into download mode copy what it says and post,, my guess is this is kies being it's usual self, in which case if everything is ok in download mode then download the Rom and flash with Odin
[Galaxy S III General] MattBooth:
The fact that it gets as far as it does means it's not broken and it's not the result of the XXEMG4 firmware at all. STop this fear mongering.

However, since you're totally unmodified you do right in returning ti to Samsung.

It was an OTA update, not using Kies...

[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
All is good there, so you have a choice of returning it to Samsung or flash the Rom with Odin
[Galaxy S III General] MattBooth:
Again, doesn't mean the update broken your device, not when many of us are installing the Kies version with Odin just fine :/
[Galaxy S III General] boomboomer:
I'm not having any problems with EMG4, flashed with mobile Odin just fine including root.
[Galaxy S III General] SignetSphere:
I also don't think that Samsung will release the MG4 as a broken firmware knowing that it can be flashed/OTA'ed by masses who owns an international variant of the S3.

My guess is your download of the update got corrupted while in the middle of the file transfer. And the fact that your device can still go to download mode doesn't mean it's bricked.
[Galaxy S III General] Deleted member 4694067:
KIES updated my S3 to EMG4 yesterday no problems at all. Unfortunately it still doesn't like USB chargers, like the ones provided by Samsung! Probably just bad luck. You're quite right to send it back.
[Galaxy S III General] boeing747458:
It's not SDS for sure, had the same problem when I war trying to go back to EME2 of WANAM.

[Galaxy S III General] kadmielm:
update to emg4

Dude,

For the heck of it I flashed emg4 firmware using Odin Mobile. No issues whatsoever. I'd use odin on the desktop. If the device is still bricked, use odin on the desktop to dump the firmware. you can try an older firmware for your own comfort. It's definitely something with your Kies.
[Galaxy S III General] StuBFrost:
Flashed mine this morning OTA. Working perfectly.
[Galaxy S III General] zardoz99:
It's definitely going back under warranty. Samsung are sending a return envelope for it.

It's possible that I'm just unlucky as my wife's S3 updated just fine at exactly the same time. "adb" cannot see it and as it's still under the two year warranty, I'll let Samsung figure it out. Glad it wasn't hers that died.. Life would be "interesting".

Maybe they'll give me a nice 32GB version as a replacement :)

I'm more than a little concerned that this update messes about with the EFS information. Any idea why?
[Galaxy S III General] rowan112:
know how it killed your S3 did you get that encryption unsuccessful message?
[Galaxy S III General] zardoz99:
I got nothing... It just never gets beyond the Samsung boot animation.
[Galaxy S III General] rowan112:
ah well i got that encryption thing and now i don't go past the samsung boot animation either.

what should i say to samsung for them to RMA it?
[Galaxy S III General] zardoz99:
Contact Samsung support by phone and tell them what happened. That's all I did. I explained that I had tried the normal "customer" recovery methods (factory reset etc) and there was no argument at all. Because it's my main phone and I need it to be reliable for work, it was completely unmodified, so there should be no problems.

They just wanted my details, the phone serial/IMEI and the purchase date.

Was your phone encrypted? I had decided not to do that with mine as it's a significant performance hit.

Hello, help me please, i made a launcher activity, and a second activity (child activity). now there is an edit text fiels in my second activity, where the user can enter some text, and i dont know how to retrieve that text the user entered, and transfer it to a string ? Plz help!!
[Java for Android App Development] h4oxer:

[Java for Android App Development] dbarrera:
You can use a helper class to store (set) the string and retrieve (get) it...
[Java for Android App Development] torpedo mohammadi:
Hi.

2 ways poped up in my mind.

1- in your intent (if any) from 2nd activity to first put this :

public class yourActivity extends Avtivity{
EditText et;
onCreate{
et = (EditText) findViewById (R.id.your_edittext);
Button bt = etc...
bt.setOnClickListener(something I skip
onClick(...){
Intent toHome = new Intent(SecondActivity.this, FirstActivity.class);
toHome.putExtra("myEditText", et.getText().toString());
startActivity(toHome);
}
);
}
}

Then in your first one add :

Intent fromThat = getIntent();
// not sure about getIntent(), check it.
Bundle b = fromThat.getExtras();
String s = b.getString("myEditText");

Now s has exactly the value of EditText.

Second :

Create a SharedPreference containing the string of edittext and retrieve it in first activity.
[Java for Android App Development] Deleted member 4303594:
You just have to use startActivityForResult to launch your second activity and override onActivityResult to get the result from started activity
[Java for Android App Development] napolennon:
as said by pedja1

to start your second activity from first activity: 99 is your request code, you're free to change it to any int

Intent intent = new Intent(FirstActivity.this, FirstActivity.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, 99)

on second activity finish/closed:

Intent data = new Intent();
data.putExtra("my_text", myEditText.getText().toString());

setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK, data);

override method on first activity:

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == 99 && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
if (data != null) {
Log.i("My Apps", data.getStringExtra("my_text"));
}
}

this is for ace

so just change kernel to some kernel for gio, bluetooth and camera apps from gio, and modules and hw folders in lib folder copy from gio to package from ace and you can use every rom from ace, ace forum have more stuff and this windows phone mods looks really good so just try.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] MetroxGamer:
Yeah but how do I do that kernel, bluetooth, camera and modules/folders? I don't know how to do that...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] WYPIERDAALAAC:
First link is a rom based on stock, next is a rom based on cm7.

Like I said. You need some stock based rom or cm7 for Gio.

Extract zip package for Gio and from this package copy to your downloaded and extracted rom boot.img file, camera, bluetooth app to system/app, modules, hw folders to lib folder and after this pack by winrar to zip edited ace rom.

Now you have fullu working ROM with WP style, It's easy. Just try.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] MetroxGamer:
Dammit! You lost me on the "cm7 for Gio"

So let me try to figure it out:

I need to download CM7 for Gio, and download the WP7 Ace ROM, then extract the boot.img, camera and bluetooth and change them with the ones on the Ace ROM, and then compile and update the zip in CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] WYPIERDAALAAC:
exactly

Yes, if base is cm7.

I see you understand.

I forget about media_profiles.xml in system/etc

and in system/lib you have to copy all files with "cam" in name , for example libarccamera.so etc

a few minutes of work :)

good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] MetroxGamer:
I know I haven't touched this thread for a while, and I don't wanna be a pain in the a*s, but can you have that done for me?? I didn't quite understand the practical process...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] WYPIERDAALAAC:
it's easy you can do it by yourself

1. Extract zip package

2. Copy from cm7 or stock gio rom ( for example if base is cm7 so you should copy from some cm7 rom) :

camera.apk and bletooth.apk to system/app folder

modules and hw folders to system/lib

media_profiles.xml to system/etc

libarccamera.so and similar files with cam in name to system/lib (4 files i think)

replace boot.img file

replace build.prop file

META-INF\com\google\android replace updater-script file

5 minutes of work :)

after all pack your folders to zip package and install to your phone
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] MetroxGamer:
Ok, I will do that, but can you link me some rom with CM7 from Gio?? Because I can't find any that I think is good...

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crescento:
So my issue is similar to the one of Spectre Nine here.

I have bought a N7100 in January 2013. Until about July it ran absolutely fine, but then it started freezing and rebooting at random.

Here is the data:

Model: GT-N7100

Android: 4.1.2

Baseband: N7100XXDLK7

Build: JZO54K.N7100XXDMB2

Country of origin: Austria

I am running a stock rom which was updated using Kies, afterwards root was installed using CF-Autoroot.

I have never used Odin or other flashing software, and I am also on stock recovery on this device.

TriangleAway has been used due to CF-Autoroot increasing the flash counter.

I have already ruled out the SIM and MicroSD cards, as it happens without them as well.

I noticed that there might have been some data corruption, as my SwiftKey dictionary got wiped for some reason.

Unfortunately, I have found no tools or ways to check the internal SD for errors as opposed to the external ones.

My questions are as follows:

1. Are there any tools or methods for checking the internal storage for file system errors?

2. Any ideas as to what could be causing this issue?

3. If I have to send the device in for repairs, is it enough to just remove the root (confirm device normal status) and do a factory reset?

Thank you very much for any leads or replies at all.

PS: I am trying to record a logcat to find out what happens before the reboot, will also attach it,
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shhbz:
well flashing via kies must have created the issue, rather flash a stock rom via odin adn it wil be fine no need to send it for repairs follow ketan guide here in xda on the procedure to follow flashing rom using odin and everything will be fine.

so i definitely suspect kies for your problem
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crescento:
The Kies update happened in february, and the phone has been running fine until july.

If I use Odin, will Samsung be able to detect it in case I send it in?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shhbz:
nope your device status must be normal now and binary count 0 so you good to give it now no need to flash anything via odin just unrootand check your system status
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crescento:
A follow-up here.

The issue suddenly disappeared about 3 weeks after my initial post.

I am baffled as to what could have caused this.

Occasionally, it still happens about once in two weeks.

I still couldn't find any tools to check the internal storage.

When 4.3 is out (probably soon for my provider), would a full wipe get rid of possible errors on the internal sd?

Hi guys,

I'm having some problems with my S2's USB port. I've been combing the forums to see if I can find something, but no luck. Let me describe the symptoms and everything I tried.

Whenever I plug my phone in, it doesn't show that it's charging, but the battery is getting filled. USB also doesn't work. Rebooting the phone with the power cable plugged in shows that the phone is charging. Doing the same with the USB only made it charge but not work in USB mode. The battery life is also crappy, as the phone never goes into deep sleep (not even with the Deep Sleep app).

First I thought that the USB board might be faulty. I exchanged that (yes, the revision matches). The problem still persisted. I then tried to reflash the device with different versions of stock ROMs (ICS and JB). Same thing. I then tried flashing the Siyah kernel. That solved a small part of it. Restarting the phone while connected to the PC will make the phone be recognized as a USB device. I also installed CM 10.1. Tried it out with the Dorimanx kernel, still nothing.

My next plans are to use the NukeROM script (tried it before, but nothing) and try fiddling with different ROMs. If anyone has any more ideas, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Tudor

Hey XDA

Im not sure what to do here.. I have a HTC Wildfire S where the screen is dead on.. I need to get the data out of it.. Theres no simcard in the phone and it is not connected to my wifi = No data connection. When plugging in a cable from a PC it sees the phone as removeable storage and i guess that means ADB is not an option either..

What are my options on getting data out on this phone ?

The only option i can imagine is if i can place a APK on the sd card and the phone somehow automaticly can intall it, which would let me remote control it .. But im not sure..
