[General Questions and Answers] Igwepromise:
Actually there is no software application that can stop flashing. However it can be done technically. Flashing is beneficial to users who forgot their password, but is also a disadvantage as it encourages phone stealing. The technical aspect of stoping flashing by interfering with the USB Lines or port of a phone have an implication of not being able to transfer Data/file from your computer. The charging lines of the USB are spared, While the data transfer lines are terminated. This must be done by a professional and a phone technician (I'm one). however no one will like to fidle with he/her phone especially if bought new. Luckly this process is reversible but only by thesame technician who knows where the lines are cut on the phone's panel/motherboard. There is alot to say, i just hoped i have made you understand the essentials

Yes there is. However no software application can stop flashing it can only be done technically with a consequence of not being able to transfer data or files from your computer

Spare the charging lines of the USB which are usually the outer most lines
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dragostini:
Okay so I'm using a rogers i747 currently running Quantum rom v1.05 and running the latest bionic sheep kernel for android 4.3. I'm looking to overclock my device and wanted some tips and advice from experienced overclockers about it. Should I use this kernel for it? Different kernel? How far can I safely (it's never safe but let's say as safe as possible) push the CPU. What about voltage settings? I've never touched my voltage before nor overclocked so the more specific the details the better.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] epiquiem:
I personally suggest the BMS kernel, found here. Just be sure to choose the right Linux base version and stuff for your device. Since you are running 4.3, i would assume you should choose the 3.4y based build. Be sure to triple check before you download though. I have been using this kernel for quite a while overclocked/undervolted and get awesome battery life.

Some advice -

Undervolt slowly, in about 5mV intervals. Test voltages for a while before going lower.

Research before you apply!

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Regal's Photon Q:
Hi everyone,

My first post as I haven't been able to find an answer. My Photon Q was probably about 30% charge when I last checked with it on. An hour or 2 later it was a little warm and was off. So I went to charge it using the car charger with 500mah charge rate. I came back about an hour later and the phone was really hot and no charging screen so I unplugged it. The green led light is lit when the phone is plugged in.

I tried holding the power button and volume down button, but it won't boot. If I have the usb charging cable plugged in from a PC or charger adapter when pressing those buttons, the green light will flicker off for a fraction of a second.

I then proceeded to dismantling the phone as I suspect a battery issue and the one in this phone is stupidly non-removable. After taking the back cover off, I tested the battery posts and received 0 volts. I still don't know if the battery caused the drain or if there's a short in the phone. I then took off the inside cover that holds the battery in. A few T5 screws later and the battery was removed. I connected the battery to some AA batteries in series to see if I could get a charge. A few hours later I got it up to 3 volts which held for several hours. So I connected it to a few more AA batteries in series to try and raise the voltage. I got it up to 3.67 volts and the battery is listed at 3.7 volts.

A day later and the voltage is still at 3.67 volts so I put the battery in the phone. I went to try and power it on, but nothing. I then connected it to a usb cord and received the slow flashing red led light a couple times before switching to green. The battery started getting warm again connected to the usb charger. After 20 minutes it was approaching hot so I unplugged the USB. The battery read 3.54 volts. 30 minutes later, 0 volts again.

Does anyone know what the actual voltage range is for this phone, as my old Samsung M320 is also 3.7 volts, but when testing the battery I get 4.10 volts? I heard it's pretty specific on minimum voltage. Any ideas for a temporary battery or way to boot the phone before spending $50 on a replacement battery and then find out there's a short in the phone. Is there another key combination to boot the phone, I'm trying to boot it to at least get my pictures and other data off it.

Thanks a lot in advance

Matt
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Regal's Photon Q:
Not the battery, seems to be an electrical short but where

I bought a new battery for the phone which had a 0 volt charge when I received it. I tried putting it in the phone as is to use the phone charger to charge it, but got nothing. So I charged it using 2, then 3 and then 4 AA batteries in series to get it up to 3.7 volts. I then put the battery in the phone and noticed the 2 large chips and the chip centered above them located by the camera get a little hot. I tried with the charger connected and not connected, but same thing. Power button doesn't turn the phone on. Just the green led lit when the USB power cable is attached. So now it seems there must be a short in the phone. Anyone know where I can look to check for a short, blown resistor or something in this phone? Or at least where the rom chip is located so maybe I can turn it into a usb drive to get my data at the least.:(
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Regal's Photon Q:
Anyone? I still haven't been able to find a solution. I don't see pins touching, but if some pins are touching in the usb port, would that cause the heat issues when I put a battery in that I charged externally? I do get the green led light when I plug the phone in to charge so figure that means the usb is ok?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] niko99:
:confused:

did you try a other charger ? do you have oryginal photon charger ? for me its not a reason of battery

regards

(in situation like that charging with normal usb cable when you plug phone to pc dont charging battery, you need motorola usb service cable to make it work)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Regal's Photon Q:
Yep used the motorola cable that came with the phone (plugged in the wall and just the cable in multiple computers, another motorola house charger (the same as the one that came with the phone), a motorola car charger, and a samsung house charger.

When you say motorola usb service cable, I assume you're not talking about the motorola cable that comes with the phone? What usb service cable are you referring to?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] niko99:
factory / sevice cable ( i make my own from below tutorial)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1077414

if you buy / make this cable , you will be have posibility to use RDS lite and flesh firmware this also make help (if you have low battery flesh with normal usb cable is not possible )

and second thing... maybe try some car charger ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rimher:
Hello there, I've flashed the new Android Revolution 4.3 Rom, and after restoring a TiBu backup, I rebooted.

Since then I'm stuck in recovery, since no Rom will boot, not even the one I had flashed before.

The good news is that I can still get into recovery, the bad news is that I don't seem to be able to do anything from there.

I tried to push the latest 3.96 PA but adb push command fails saying that

failed to copy 'pa_maguro-3.96-20130813.zip' to '/sdcard/pa_maguro-3.96-20130813.zip': Read-only file system

This has never happened to me before, what can I do?? Any help is very appreciated!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAHndroid:
I've tried to root my Samsung Galaxy Y Pro GT-B5510 using a number of different update.zip files recommended on various sites and forums, but I always encounter the same problem.

The instructions are the same everywhere, and I follow them to the letter: I transfer the file into the root directory of my SD card via USB cable, then disconnect and switch off my phone. I then get into recovery mode (after several attempts) using the Volume-Up, Home and Power buttons. I press Volume-Down to navigate the red menu and then Home to select "apply update from sdcard". I select update.zip, and a stream of cyan text rushes up my screen until it hits a snag...

The red menu reappears, followed by cyan text reading:

.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

Although the previous mountain of text rushes up the screen too fast to read, I am sometimes able to catch a glimpse of what seems to be the main indicator of the problem:

Error in tmp/sideload/package.zip

As I said, this happens with multiple versions of update.zip that I've found. Does anyone know what could be causing it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TroubleShooter™:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TBDwarf:
Hello everyone,

For three weeks now my phone is suffering from a bug-like bug sudden death, it freezes on average 24 hours for no reason for about 15 to 20 minutes and then restarts itself.

1 month ago I was in a stock ROM rooted no abnormalities, then I move on workship V13 Rom (android 4.2.2) and on symptoms begin.

So I go under Cyanogen v10.1 nightly 1 week ago with still the same problem yesterday on 10.2 and the morning is always the same problem.

I tried eMMC and I marked "YES. Insane chip ", I did a check memory without the telephone plant.

Do you have an idea or solution?

What I do not understand is that the CM10.2 and recovery Philz Touch 5.08.5 normally protects the bug sudden death!

Sorry for my english I'm french :(

Hey everyone

I ran antutu benchmark on my nexus 4 running PA v3.97 and i got a score of a little more than 16 thousand and then i install the semaphore kernel and got an embarrassing score of 14162. Whats happening? Arent these a little odd considering that a STOCK Nexus4 has a score of 20 thousand?

And another un-related thing, The carbon rom is not booting up with the matr1x kernel. the google sign comes up and no bootanimation and it stays there.

Really need your help, Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolApps:
If there is one thing I learnt here it would be that benchmarks are unreliable.

Make sure that kernel matches the ROMs Android version and build, it may not be even supported.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Stock doesn't score 20k
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minori_aoi:
Check your CPU speed on your Antutu Detailed Score, I would say most likely it was caused by the CPU throttling if it's not 1514 (or something around that),

Custom ROM can be the culprit too, since I only get 13k-14k score with MIUI (from miuiandroid) which is pretty embarassing, that was MTK6579 level.

My stock 4.2.2 doesn't even come close to 20k score. Only 17,900 something.

[HTC Sensation] astar26:
Because the "bloatware" (Apps and stuff by your operator) is composed of "System Apps", it is not possible to de-brand without rooting. You can, however unlock your bootloader and flash another ROM (which is very similiar to what you did with odin, just via the phone).

too confusing rooted and stuff and s-off and stuff too much confusing i just want stock official stock or ota official what ever is called
[HTC Sensation] astar26:
To just debrand you need root access... To flash stock you need S-Off (however I don't recommend it to you). The guide I gave you is the simplest explanation of how to do it. You don't need to S-Off, just follow the guide step-by-step, you'll be alright.

Please don't whinge and whine if you are using a "borrowed" , "hacked" or "cracked" version, I personally don't blame them for putting extra security in patches to stop this.

If it is an original version, then maybe there is a real issue.

I did not have to re-activate it as I did it on loading TT5 in the first place and it's working fine.

I'm sorry if this is a really nooby question but I'm a beginner and I just want to know everything I can before I do anything. So currently the issues that I'm finding with my phone is that I have tons of background apps running and draining my battery (even after I've disabled background processes on most of them), heaps of bloatware, slow loading speeds for apps/internet and a super laggy keyboard (I'm currently using Google Keyboard but I have this issue with the stock Samsung keyboard as well). Ultimately what I want to know is: would rooting help my phone be much faster, have less lag, and just give it an overall smoother experience?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] harryg27:
I am a beginner as well, and I can't believe I didn't root sooner. After installing the latest stable version of Cyanogenmod I have been so much happier with my phone. Even if you do not want a custom ROM (though I highly recommend it) you can still freeze bloatware and other unwanted apps using Titanium Backup.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pacb12:
Thanks for replying! Do you know which features I may be missing if I choose to root without installing a custom ROM? I'm still not sure if I want to stick to the basics or go full-on..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] harryg27:
It depends on the ROM. I wanted something close to stock Android because I was tired of Touchwiz. It has become boring for me and I like the clean UI that Cyanogenmod offers.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
Installing a custom ROM is one way to go. I have been giving the latest touch wiz stock Rom update (4.1.2) and I have had few issues. I am rooted and I have disabled apps I don't use. I even debloated. There is no right or wrong way to go. Try some ROMs and go with what you like best.

Hi.

I am trying to build a custom rom with base as stock rom(XXLT5).

I went through some tutorials on XDA, but they were only some basic stuff.

I had lot of questions in mind,and after searching for hours didn't get some help,so posted so maybe some one can help.

I flashed my own rom with some build.prop tweaks and changed wallpaper in framework-res.apk.

But it flashed with no problems.

1] I had lost root but I used Philz kernel(copied all stuff into respective folder)

2]I don't get about the META-INF Folder because I tried to put some s4 mods such as sec.settings.apk,s4 status bar,they also had META-INF but I didn't know what to do with it. I copied the apk of sec.settings into preload /syslink/system/app.

3]When the rom started default-wallpaper didn't changed and any mods didn't applied,so don't know what to do.

4]Will this work if I unzipped from md5 file(stock rom) and then Linux reader I extracted all files and modify it?

because in tutorials the mention to extract from rom using terminal emulator

Can please any-one say what should I do,and where to put META_INF folder,because all apks aur mods has META_INF folder and will replace every time I put a mod in it.

Please Help Guys.....:crying:
