[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidFan2:
He was on the stock JB 4.1.2 XWLSD. I contacted him and it seems that he cannot enter recovery mode anymore, neither can he acces download mode. The root with CF-Root was succesfull. He had superuser & CWM app as CWM recovery installed.

The phone started doing a little bit weird before he went to sleep. When he woke up, it did nothing anymore.

He also tried charging his phone for about 2 hours, and while charging entering recovery & download mode. Nothing happened.

Could this mean a dead motherboard? If not, am I able to acces download mode with my USB JIG?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Hang on. You said the phone was bootlooping. And you also said the phone is dead. It can't be both; this isn't a 'Schrödinger situation' - it's one or the other.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
If the phone shows no signs of life, even after using a USB Jig, it would mean a trip to the service centre and possibly motherboard replacement. You could also swap mobo's from a second hand S2 (like with a cracked screen or something). But its very unlikely that a phone will simply get hard bricked!

Try a JIG and see. Also try another battery too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidFan2:
Yes, that was before he gave me more information. I assumed it was a bootloop, it however seems that his phone is dead.

It indeed seemed weird to me too. I tried my battery in his phone and it also did not power on, and I could not acces recovery nor download mode. I used a JIG and to me surprise that did nothing too. It seems that his phone is dead, in quite an odd way. I never experienced anything like this before, that a phone simply get's hard bricked, just like that. Without doing anything to his phone.

A service center is no option for him, probably the mobo will be replaced but since he has no warranty the expenses would be pretty high.

He's getting a new device, an S3. Only thing that upset him is that he won't be able to recover his pictures of his deceased grandparents.

Anyway, thanks for thinking a long!

Do the bluetooth radios get updated also when firmware is pushed to our phones like the ME7 update? I'm still on the MDK version but hoping that the update can fix my bluetooth streaming problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
If I'm not mistaken yes it does update the modem/radio. If you aren't rooted or want to be then feel free to take the update. If you want to root or maintain root and custom recovery try one of the me7 roms that allow you to keep mdk baseband

Rooted S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reybie:
Thanks, I am rooted and that is all I really need. I will try the root preservation posts and just take it like a man lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tsitalon1:
Doesn't fix the bluetooth streaming. Both the Sg4's (on2 MDK the other ME7) both skipped pretty bad in my car.

My previous Samsung Charge did as well, My Droid Razr never once skipped.

It's something to do with Samsung's bluetooth stack or hardware - it's been driving me crazy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 1454:
MDK here, but I don't have skipping. I just have random disconnects. My Nexus did have that issue though. However, the reception was definitely worse. I can actually use the S4 at work, the Gnex I couldn't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reybie:
I accepted the update but it still skips! What a waste :(. One thing I noticed is Pandora will only skip if the screen goes to sleep. If I keep it awake then it will play just fine with no problems.

The strange thing is I stream iheart radio and Spotify with no issues. I did the troubleshooting instructions by Pandora support with no luck.

As a wifier with a pda2k , how does one know if he has been discovered by the network owner and in addition , where he has gone , not to mention the pda's security . My files can't be looked at can they? I need serious security assistance . My personal data may have allready been compromised! Damn .

Thank you.

(I'll just wait here on a secure network till I can secure my 'lil unit:)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] nomadman:
Treat your PPC as if it were a portable computer running on celeron. As of the moment I can only recall maybe 4 known viri for Windows Mobile. If you are an avid WiFi'er as I am, try to browse your unit from your desptop pc without activesync activated. You might want to port scan the PPC as well. I run an FTP and web server on my unit (for my own purposes), and I have never had any files compromised unless I allow it. If you are really that peranoid, encrypt the files you don't want read without your permission.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] nutsnbolts:
Well I'm a Mac guy so browsing on a desktop won't happen. I just need to be able to surf annomously and not have the network owner view me or my files.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] nomadman:
The netwqork admin will always know you are using the router because the wifi router assigns you an IP address. No getting around that. But it will be highly unlikely that he can access your unit resources unless you have a backdoor trojan running on your unit. If you don't know, google up "antivirus scanner for pocket pc", and install it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] meatychi:
Hey MACGUY have you seen PocketMAC? It could be useful!

SORRY i didnt mean to hijack your thread!

NOMADMAN - you said your are a wifi junky - How do I surf the net from my MDA3 using WIFI.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Herox:
I've done some searching and have found some of the dumbest things that make no sense. I have 2 problems. 1 - If the wifi shuts off it will not reconnect to my router. This only happens when the router is on N only (both 2.4 and 5ghz). And 2 - The download over wifi is incredibly poor. I get speedtest results turning back 3mbps down 6mbps up. Why is the download so poor? This is on wifi NOT 4glte. on 4g I see around 13/9 with 3 bars.

I've also tried all the modem firmwares and all were bad except the previous one before the current update. using CSrom
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] spasch:
To my knowledge the modem file will have nothing to do with the wifi radio or its firmware.

The connection errors seem to be wpa. Wep or running open and I can connect every time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Herox:
Ok well I got the problem solved some how by changing roms. The rom I used moved to graviton so I switched, No problems with that now. Its just the download is terribly slow for wifi. The upload goes higher than the download.

Not to mention I'm not even 15 feet from the router getting 1 bar for wifi.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Herox:
My speedtest app was botched. I redownloaded it and suddenly 12/5 easily. Not sure if thats the max the GS3 wifi can do but thats where it topped on 2 different GS3. One running stock 4.1.1 and mine running graviton 4.1.2.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fiffan86:
I personally get 19/8, im running quantum v1.15. what kind of speeds do you get on a computer?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Herox:
My desktop gets 56/5.8 wired. The wireless pcs in the house get 20 - 30 on wifi. My package is 50/5. I'm beginning to think my router and extender both dislike the GS3. My old ass LG optimus was able to get 20down and its ancient.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Herox:
Ok so it turns out its because my router/extender are dual band? Is there anything I can do besides buy another router? The ones I have are fairly good and I don't want to replace them.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wolfen69:
I didn't want to crowd the slimbean thread with my noobish questions, so I thought I'd ask here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

1- When texting someone, I don't see the little mic on the keyboard so I can speech to text. Any way to get it back?

2- I really enjoyed the TW(?) Contacts way of doing things in GB, like swipe left to text, swipe right to call. Is that possible in 4.2?

3- It seems the touch sensitivity is good, but I'd like a bit more, as I have to sometimes touch somethings 2 or 3 times to open it. Is there a way to increase sensitivity?

4- Is there a task manager of some sort to end processes? Someone told me to long press the home button then clear the screen to do this. But if say I have Pandora playing and long press home/clear, it still keeps playing. Leading me to believe it doesn't really stop app/processes. Any ideas?

5- When receiving texts when phone is idle, there is only a tone alert, but when turning on the screen, there is no obvious (visual) indicator that I have a text to read. I have to pull down from the top to see it. Any way of getting a more visual indicator? (Like the puzzle piece)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about JB, but the way GB did some things was really good and I wish they could have kept some things the same. Is there any way I can get these features back?

If you don't know all of the answers, that's OK. Any and all help will be much appreciated.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wolfen69:
Thanks for all the help guys. :rolleyes: I've decided to go back to GB. It just works 100%. Sure, JB is pretty cool and I appreciate all of the hard work that goes into it. But it just didn't feel "finished" for lack of a better word. Camera didn't work right, no HDMI, no mic on keyboard, touch screen not as responsive, slightly glitchy, among other things.

Good luck to the devs, and keep up the good work. It's just not for me. When GB is no longer supported by app devs, I'll just get a new phone. Take care guys and gals.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozaelkayal:
when i going to install anew rom i formate sd-card by wrong:D and now i want to recover only images :silly: because its very important to me please any way to recover it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apollag:
Try recovery software online. I haven't tried it myself but since you need it then go try it yourself.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Format = no recovery
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
There's nothing you can do. Technically if you "format" or delete something from within the filesystem, the actual object still exists until it is actually overwritten with a new object. However, since you cannot mount the internal storage as a USB mass storage device on a computer, you cannot use proper, PC based recovery programs.

There may be some Android based ones that work although, many wont as they will only work on your external SD card. Payinbg for one would be a massive risk and I have my doubts that any would find anything to restore.

Moving forward - to prevent this happening again in future, or at least to ensure if it does happen, you're covered, look into this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite

I use this to sync my external and internal sd on alternative nights, to my PC that is always on over wifi whilst I sleep. I never lose any data. Also, images could auto upload to dropbox.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evaravenspell:
There is a software called recuva or something like that on the net. Try googling it. I did the same mistake once. I managed to retrieve some but not all. But at least some were recovered.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Recuva will only work on mass storage devices which as stated, cannot be achieved on internal storage of an s3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laura almeida:
There are some apps which works on both Internal Storage & SD card.

Example : Undelete for Root Users

Undelete for Android is an application for root users that allows you to recover any deleted files from your SD card or internal storage.

From My Experience Undelete for Root Users is a very good app.

But Sadly Nothing can Restore any file that has been written over

That's a Very good Idea...

Thank you so much for that

I Never thought about it...

From now onwards with the help of FolderSync i will never loose my data... :laugh:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I actually tested undelete before my first response because I remember you mentioned it before but it will only do FAT so it doesnt detect the internal sdcard on my phone
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram231092:
also try DISK DIGGER. it helped me.

:good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laura almeida:

Ohh yeah it does only support FAT

Sorry.

My mistake.

It seems I am not really ready to help others.

I really have to learn a lot

And

Think a lot before posting.

Anyways Thanks for correcting me

Ohh that's so sweet....

Thanks for the support
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MerryJoseph:
First stop using the SD card anymore because it may over write the data. You just try SD card recovery software to scan your sd card, I have heard one software that is “Remo photo recovery tool” and this tool is appreciated by industry experts also according to testimonials. It may aid you to recover your data. good luck!

I'm trying to root and put CM10.1 on my device, but the methods I see involve having ICS or Kies. Kies is not working on my computer, it doesnt launch for some reason. How can I either update to ICS or root 2.3.6 which is on the device now with out it? What's the best way to get CM10.1, please help! All the methods are kind of old...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
The methods are old much like the version you are on.

Why would installing a custom ROM need kies? It doesn't. You need Odin or heimdall to flash custom kernel with recovery and then you can flash whatever ROM you want.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SkVergil:
What Pirateghost said. Just flash CWM (clockworkmod recovery) through Odin (google or xda search it). From there the rest will be piece of cake.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] leo9891:
Or you could just download "drama root". It's an apk file that you install on your phone, run it, and it riots it within a few seconds and installs Super User. It's quick and easy. Next all you need to do is install a custom recovery via Mobile Odin. You didn't even need to touch a PC to root your phone.

Does anyone know how embryo managed this? Is there a mod/app to do this? I have searched but could not find anything on it.

Well done everyone
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] diffstyle:
After it installs, how do you get into it using the hardware keys?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Stickman89:
Currently the Recovery Installer acts as a launcher, this is the safest method available to date. Until we investigate a more permanent method that won't impose risks of a brick it will remain this way.

This method does not overwrite stock recovery so it cannot be booted using hardware keys until such time. Rest assured, users will be delighted to here that because of the aforementioned there are no risks imposed using the provided files otherwise.

To reboot into CWM simply use the provided launcher, the recovery need only be installed once, there on after simply select "Reboot into Recovery" to access CWM skipping step 3. Should you wish to install a new firmware/ROM you will however need to Reinstall the provided apk and Recovery by following the provided steps unless it has been baked into the ROM by the 'Chef'.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] diffstyle:
Oh, i understand now. If I may ask, when there is compatible ROM released such as CM or any other one, will we just be launching it through the the available .apk and installing the ROM as we would on any other device via CMW?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Stickman89:
We're already hard at work on bringing custom ROMS for the P6, this and zhenaguo's Chinese recovery has very much opened the door for said possibilities. A bit of patience and we should see some life brought into the XDA P6 development forums.
