[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
Unfortunately, it most likely means the system tar file got damaged somehow.

You should be able to recover from this though. Here's what I would do. First connect the phone in USB mode (so that the content of the SD card(s) is visible on the computer). Next, copy system.ext3.tar from the backup dir to the computer (just in case) and then delete it from the phone. Also make a copy of nandroid.md5 and then use a text editor (make sure you use one that understands UNIX line endings) to edit the file (it's just a text file) and delete the "system" line. Then download a fruitcake ZIP of .141 and flash it, and then restore your backup.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stfu05:
Oops, I used an old backup, my bad!

Thanks anyway!

I get different error with the correct backup - the OP was edited.

Thanks again :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
This is actually a fairly common error since I've seen a number of people have this exact same issue. Unfortunately I don't know of a fix, or even an explanation why it happens like this...

You could still try the procedure from my last post.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stfu05:
Thanks, I'll try your procedure.

In this thread, how can I preform the procedure suggested by danilocps87, i.e. creating a flashable zip from the system.ext3.tar file?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
Well why don't you ask him that, in that thread that you pointed out?

Let's keep each thread to its own purpose.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stfu05:
ok.

Regarding your procedure - after I flash the fruitcake ZIP of .141, I need to restore my backup without the system.ext3.tar ?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
That's the idea.

Or, if you want to be extra safe, you could do advanced restore and then restore partitions one by one.

The idea is that you flash /system from fruitcake and the rest from your backup.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stfu05:
But, I need the system from my backup, because I had Russian in system languages (locale) and the fruitcake doesn't have Russian option available.

Is there a AT&T 4.5.141 stock ROM that has Russian support?

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
I figured you'd rather have at least some sort of system than one you cannot restore. Something is better than nothing. Or not?

Anyway, I don't know what all fruitcakes are available. You'll have to research that yourself. This was just an idea.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Kumabjorn:
Since I also have a Note 8 I decided to splurge on the multimedia dock. It works fine with the Note 8 and in the back of my head I had this idea that it might also work partly with the original Note. No such luck, not even charging worked. So if anyone is inclined to pick up one for a pittance, save your pittance.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] slamdunksaliby:
Hey guys just a quick question...I have cleanrom with fauxs kernel but if I wanted to go back to stock kernel would I just flash the boot.img in fastboot? And if so what would be the command for that? Thanks so much! :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

As a general note, if a ROM ships with custom kernels, sometimes the depend on features of that kernel. That's not specific to the ROM you are using which may work just fine with stock kernel.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] theregkid:
As the title says, I can't seem to find any recoveries or anything compatible inside goomanager. Is it because of my ROM?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaHiLzZ:
I was trying to make HTC One into a google edition. Now it doesn't boot into android, recovery, fastboot, anything except this screen.

Took a couple hours to do S-Off and all. I am attaching my pastebin log. http://pastebin.com/fU3Y3ZCN

It is a bit long, but will give an idea.

I believe my fault was this:

GE 4.3 didn't update the HBOOT/Bootloader, and now I am here.

Please help!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaHiLzZ:
After a few forced reboots by holding power button which still showed HTC with four corner triangles, washroom breaks, and thoughts of ruining a $600 phone, it showed up into fastboot still the phone showing HTC logo with four triangles, and I was able to push GE 4.3 RUU zip file all over again.

Phone booted OK in GE 4.3.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] badonyx:
For two days, the three bottom capacitive buttons do not respond, or if you respond, respond very slowly and the right not to respond at all.

* What could be the cause, the phone runs stock ROM, v20, the phone is root and unlocked
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
Recovery, wipe cache and see if that helps.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] badonyx:
I tried this, I did hard reset and even after hard reset buttons no longer wanted to work at all.

* I'll try to install ICS, and after his return and in v20, but tonight, because I sold it, replace HTC's coming One.

* But I'll try, and come back, maybe they will come back, and will operate the buttons.

** There is another reason, here is very wet this time of year, and I noticed the phone a few days ago without any pressure, just touching the volume or back cover, vibrate and take orders without doing you something, this ptr for 2 hours, I checked the temperature, I gave restart but continued to do so around 2-3 hours, and then recovering
[LG Optimus 4X HD] GRG13:
You should go to the service center of your place.They will fix.I got a couple of days ago with custom cm10.1 and they didnt tell me anything

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] synpax:
I am having a lot of trouble getting a 64gig SD card working on my Cyanogen 10.1.2 install.I tried flashing the fixes but am without any luck. The card is currently formatted as exFAT, which I thought the fixes would address.

Another odd thing is that when I am in settings and try to view 'storage,' it starts to open and then fails, giving me an 'it stopped working' message.

Anyway, I can kick $10 to whomever can help solve this problem for me or donate it to XDA or Cyanogen or whomever. Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Reformat the card to fat32. Should work then.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ssingh0247:
Hi

Download MiniAid Fat32 Formatter. Insert your sd card and run the program. Find your SD card and right click and find Format Partition but don't mess around with any other settings. It even comes with a video. Make sure you watch the video. Message me if you need any more help.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I personally use the SdCard Formatter from the SD Association.

https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4

Im not sure if itll automatically format to fat32, ive never had the card to try it with. But if it does, this the best option imo. Read the page linked above for more info on why.

Otherwise there are lots of formatting utilities out there you can use. Though the built in windows function should work just fine. Just some other options as I dont always trust sofware that isnt very well known.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DJ_SpaRky:
I'm on CM10.2 nightly and my microsd works fine. Clean install and fat32 formatted
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
But if it were formatted as exFat, it wouldnt work. The files required to use the exFat format are closed source from Samsung. So exFat works fine on most touchwiz roms, but not cm/aosp roms.

Most 32gb and larger sd cards come preformatted as exFat which is why this issue exists.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DJ_SpaRky:
Well then, maybe the title of the thread should be changed to "..exFAT on CM ROMs.." or something. But as a work-around, might reformat to FAT32 (w/ largest cluster size)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Thats what I told him. I dont think he realized that exFat was the problem so he wouldnt have known to title the thread as such. Just that the card wouldnt work on CM, which is pretty much his title.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DJ_SpaRky:
That's why you're the Doc. :D

Good luck to OP on MicroSD Card issues.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DJ_SpaRky:
Just to update this a bit, the latest 0820 10.2 Nightly's changelog shows that they are now supporting exFAT:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Cool. Good to know. Lets hope its working correctly!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skarloey28:
We are looking for someone to either:

(a) Modify the stock messaging apk so when a MMS is sent it doesn't look to the SIM card for the MDN (invalid destination address error with non active LTE SIM card or another carrier's SIM card in phone).

OR

(b) Remove the "Insert SIM" red icon on the taskbar and the annoying popup telling you to insert the SIM card every time you power on or unlock the screen when there is no SIM card in the phone.

This is needed for people who want the stock messaging app to send MMS on Page Plus or another carrier and the phone to have the stock feel and look. We are not satisfied with apps like GO SMS PRO so please don't suggest that.

We want this for stock, rooted ME7 and are offering $150 to the first person who is capable of achieving this. If anyone else is interested in donating please post in the thread below.

If you need more details let us know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] freakyguy88:
Try freezing/deleting SIM toolkit, if it works, i can has 150.

Let me know if it works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skarloey28:
I renamed it and it did nothing. No change
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
If no one does it by the time I get done my other framework edits I can take care of it for you guys. I'll check back in later.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skarloey28:
Thanks a lot, we really appreciate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dmtycn:
any update?

Boring this icon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shantnu:
I can remove the "insert sim" red icon for sure. I can get rid of the start-up pop-up as well but it creates other issues that I haven't had a chance to figure out or fix yet. hopefully that amounts for half the bounty :) :)

PM me and we can work it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Viper32:
Ok the MMS apk is easy.... Use 8sms from the play store, stock feel with a few other improvements.

Now as far as the actual stock apk, for the ones that do not like this one and I have no clue why they would not. I am working on that also.

No Bounty needed or expected when I get it working, save your money for your hobbies ;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlpineMan:
Thank you for this thread! I have been searching for a working solution to help a friend get the stock messaging app to work on his Verizon S4 flashed to Boost (no SIM card). He can send/receive SMS and can receive MMS. But can't send MMS. Yesterday, I decompiled the stock messaging app to see if I can find anything that sticks out...nada...but I have to admit, I only spent an hour looking. :rolleyes:

Have this same problem as well on a Verizon Note 3 and Note 2.

I agree that Go SMS Pro is not an ideal workaround. It's too damn bloated.

I experimented with the following mmsc in /system/etc/apns-config.xml to see if the phone's MDN can be sort of hard coded in, but unfortunately, it didn't work. I've read that this workaround worked fine on other phones (older phones that is) so it was worth a try.

mmsc="http://mm.myboostmobile.com/servlets/mms?X-SPRINT-MDN=3105551234", where 3105551234 is your 10 digit MDN/phone number.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlpineMan:
To get rid of the "No SIM" on the notification bar, I editted the build.prop and appended these lines at the bottom of the file:

# Remove No SIM message

keyguard.no_require_sim=true

ro.config.donot_nosim= true
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pistols777:
No Sim Card Error Fixed?

Hey good morning,

I read your post on the thread in regards to the pesky "No Sim Card Error" and I wanted to know if that worked out with no other issues? And you also mentioned you edited the "build.prop" now my question is did you edit with an android app or did you exported to your pc and then edit from there? When you get time if you could respond I would really appreciate it :D. Also one more thing did you try this with a Samsung Galaxy S4 from Sprint yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlpineMan:
Yes, it worked with no issues. I've used Root Explorer and EFS File Explorer to directly edit the build.prop. I've done it on Sprint and Verizon Galaxy S4 and Note 3 phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr. Whippy:
I can confirm, this also works on rooted Verizon Galaxy S5 with custom ROM (MOAR) Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] John_Peter:
Nice

I confirm this trick work on a S3 SGH-I747M. :)

Edit:

I have no Sim Card in my Ex Cell. I use it just for Media Player for Music, Straming and etc..

And for texting and Calling, Just Install TextPlus on Google Play :)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] freemee:
From my previous thread (Need help unlocking a HTC Wallaby (Rom 4.01.16)) you folks know that with help from the forum at large and Stefan in particular I have successfully unlocked my XDA.

My phone signal is rather weak.

1. Will upgrading to Radio Stack to Ver 6.25.02 help solve this issue ?

2. My current ROM is 3.17.03 ENG and current Radio is 6.24.00. If the answer to above point is yes. Then what steps are involved in upgrading the radio stack?? Do I have to change the ROM or can I just do it without changing the ROM??

Thanks in advance.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
Don´t know if upgrading the radio stack will help getting a better signal.

You can try it. Update process can be done without flashing a new ROM....

Process iwould follow:

1. Remove SIM-Card

2. Hard Reset to get a clean device

3. Reconenct your device via active sync

4. Download Radio Stack e.g. ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Wallaby/Radio_Stack/RSU_V6.25.02_PPC.zip

5. Extract the files to a folder on your device

6. run the exe file

7. Pray all is working fine ....

PS: There are too possibilities fro Upgrading:

1. Using the files that are designed for upgrading directly on the device, llike the above

2. Files that do this above activesync. If you got such a file skip step 5

Thanks Stefan......I will report later on my progress.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] shinjo:
can i upgrade my radio stack without upgrading my rom?

rom ver: 4.00.05 eng

radio ver : 4.21.00

anyway what difference will upgrading from my radio version to 6xx ver? i have an unlocked unit, will the newer rom lock my unit again?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] LumpiStefan:
If you update your Radio Stack, your device would end as a paper weight.

Radio Stack 6.xx are for PW10B phones with 900/1900MHz network connection and the 4.xx are for PW10A with 900/1800 MHz networks....

Generally radio stack could be upgraded without touching the ROM and the device would stay unlocked/locked as it was before.....

All several written here in the forum....

Stefan
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] freemee:
Prayed....Upgrade....to 6.25.02....works fine. Once again thanks!!!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halliba:
hey guys,

I have a really tricky Problem with my Phone. I just updated from cm-10.1-20130728-NIGHTLY-i9300 to cm-10.2-20130814-NIGHTLY and i didn't realized that this one is the first CM with 4.3. I update my Phone nearly once a weak (CM for 3 Months) and I've never had Problems. So I don't make Backups anymore. (I know that isn't really smart :D)

But now the Problem is the following:

My Play Store can't download or update Apps. It says "Update for {...} could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error while retrieving information from Server.[RPC:S-5:AEC-o])"

My Backup apps (Titanium and Go Backup Pro) can't backup apps anymore. Go Backup Pro just says "an error has occurred" and Titanium backup says "Backup successful" but when I try to restore it, Titanium says "An error has occurred" too. Unfortunately they don't give me more information.

When I started my Phone the first Time with 4.3 there actually was no Root. If I started an app needing Root it just said my Phone is not rooted.

after reinstalling my Backup-Apps through an apk they now have Root rights. I think. I can't check cause they can't backup apps :D

I tried backup my Apps through ADB but It just freeze.

I still could use my Phone but every 30 seconds it says some App has crashed^^ even if the App doesn't crashed and it works fine.

What I want:

Just to backup my Apps und their data. So I can wipe my Phone and reinstall CM.

Any Ideas?

greetings halliba.

PS: Sorry for my bad English. I'm from Germany ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
If you dont have a nandroid backup....

Flash 10.1 again over 10.2 - phone should work as before update. Use titanium to backup.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halliba:
If I flash 10.1 over 10.2 I get a Bootloop.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You're gonna have to use ADB then. I know you said it freezes, but really you should be booted into recovery when doing this stuff (adb)

Try that.

Valuable lessons learnt today ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Briaann:
I had The Avatar JB ROM installed on my phone. And I flashed Cyanogenmod and as soon as I did my phone turned extremely slow. So slow that I can't do anything the phone turns on and loads to the main screen but as soon as I touch any key or app it does nothing, it froze. I tried flashing the Stock ROM with Odin and same result. I also formated the internal SD card. and nothing. Anyone can help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
which CM ???

did you wipe ???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Briaann:
Cyanogenmod 10.2.1 Stable Version. and Yes I did all wipes as usually.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
I hope that was a typo because there isn't a CM 10.2.1 stable version for the I717. :fingers-crossed:

It was. it's 10.1.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
not to be snotty or rude, but you need to figure it out to get help

10.1 or 10.2

but REALLYNOW is right. there is no "STABLE" attached to any build.

have you eve got file for our phone???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
When you move to a different OS you don't just "do the usual wipes". You format the system partition and the data partition as well. Otherwise you end up with buttloads of errors.

Go into recovery and find the steps I described and do them. Then reinstall CM. Don't restore old apps - let the market install the updated versions to avoid conflicts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rquiett:
If you go to cm's website and look at our phone you will see that the OP is correct.There is a 10.1.2 that is listed as stable. Its the sixth one down on the page here http://get.cm/?device=quincyatt
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Briaann:
The phone is working again. It didn't worked with the stock GB ROM nor the ICS T-Mobile ROM. But when I flashed the AT&T ICS stock ROM the phone started working again. And currently is running Cyanogenmod 10.1.2.

Hey OP, no offense intended. I always did "the usual wipes" between roms, but when I moved to CM I had to do the formatting. Its because all the other roms are based on stock roms and have similar file structures, but CM is different.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhembree:
I mistakenly formatted the data on my phone yesterday. Ended up spending the most of the day trying to get a ROM onto the SD card. Tried Slim, but the keyboard process kept failing, so I could enter any of the setup information. Moved over to Carbon, and after 5-6 installs and twice as many reboots I finally got it to stick and most things are working well now. However, saw the following message in TWRP several times when flashing the ROMs or GAPPS:

E:Unknown File System: 'datamedia'

Is this something I should worry about and if so, what can I do to correct it?

Thanks.

Razr HD Maxx, running Carbon 1.8
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanepichio:
As far I can recall there isn't a "datamedia" folder, so it seems it's looking for "data/media" and that "/" was forgotten on the wiping/installing process of the ROM/GAPPS you're using, maybe it could be a TWRP bug also. If you want to wipe that folder you can do it by yourself, or try to update your TWRP to a fixed version.

All in all, I think it's nothing to be worried about.

I ordered one for $13. I like the look of metal and solid colours. I heard these aluminum cases will lower the signal of your phone, but I will try it out anyways. I highly doubt it offers much protection when it drops.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] foolie:
Had one on the S3, same brand; kills reception like a mofo

Looks like it might have a non metallic back, which should then not interfere with signal.

I have one in all black. It's a pretty nice case. It is all aluminum sides and back. Pretty nice build and finish. I did lose like a bar of reception but no big deal. A con for me personally is that it does make it a little slippery and if it does happen to fall its not going to protect it all that much. Overall I would recommend it. It is a nice looking case and it looks good especially for the price.
