[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] kazorok:
I'm stuck on the samsung boot screen and can't do anything to get past it.Let me tell you how I got here..

So I earlier was having TWRP problems, for some reason it wouldn't get past the samsung boot screen whenever I flashed a new cm10.2 nightly, unless I did a restore and did it again and a bunch of other stuff.

So I tried switching to CWM 1.0.3.4, kinda stupid of me to use this older version, it was an accident.

Anyways I did a wipe and installed cm 10.2, it worked the first time around and I restored everything via Titanium (THIS IS WHERE I MESSED UP) apparently you shouldn't do that, after I rebooted I couldn't get back the samsung boot screen. So I tried doing what I usually did, which was reformatting/doing a full wipe before I reflash a rom. Here is the issue, I can no longer reformat on my phone. I get an issue "error mounting /data", it says error mounting sd_card as well. I can't wipe my dalvik cache either. Even though it says error mounting sd_card I can still attempt to install .zip files from the sd card, and see all my files. But I can't do a full wipe so the rom won't flash correctly I guess, which won't let me get past the samsung boot screen.

I can't access my phone via USB either, my computer doesn't remotely detect it unless I boot using volume down+home+boot which gets me to some "Downloading, Do not turn off target" screen. If I plug in my usb here my computer at least detects something but just something it recognizes as "Samsung Mobile USB Modem". Kies just times out trying to load the phone.

Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? I've been wracking my brain at this for the past 4 hours and I'm freaking out..

Crux of issue:

-Stuck at boot screen (can boot into recovery or "odin mode" not sure what that is though can't seem to do anything here)

-Can't do a full wipe

-Can't flash a rom because of bad wipe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] goobieracing:
Odin back to stock and if you have force closes and stuff when you do that in stock recovery do a factory reset. Make sure u try to pull ur files you want to keep on your SD before you factory reset after odining to stock because ur SD card will be wiped.

But wait for someone else to respond maybe they know a less time consuming way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] kazorok:
Ehh I feel like an idiot, i just realized what I can do..

Yeah I'm going to odin back to stock.. downloading the stock .tar right now..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] goobieracing:
I had to odin back to stock the other day and didn't think nothing of doing a factory reset on a stock recovery. You'll delete everything off your internal SD. I wish someone told me twice lol. Hope everything works for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BIGCHEESE503:
I dropped my Sprint version Samsung Galaxy S3 in water. I immediately took the back and battery off then placed in in rice for 2 days. I then put everything back and power on the phone. It powers up perfect all the side buttons work. the only thing that does not work is the screen. it does not respond t touch at all. I did a factory reset hoping that would fix it. It did not.

Just hoping maybe there are some ideas I dont know about,

My replacement phone will cost $150. I know i can replace the outer screen for pretty cheap. Just thinking it may be the touch screen digitizer that needs to be replaced which from what i have found is more expensive and is a beyond novice type of repair.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks ins advance.
[LG Optimus 3D] galaxy76:
I would like to know one thing.

the file which serves to work the touch screen, where is it?

is in the kernel?

is located in the ROM?

is located in the x-loader?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kumabjorn:
With the background of NSA, Snowden, Manning and what not, I decided to look through my some 150 installed apps to get a clearer overview of what permissions they required. I was truly shocked to discover that there are so many permission requirements that doesn't make any sense based on what the app does. I decided I needed to uninstall those apps and look for alternatives. However, after a while I discovered that it was simply easier, and faster, to restore phones and tablets to factory settings and begin over with a clean slate. Now, I don't know how other people feel about this, but I suspect that this will be a growing concern for many. I have never considered myself to be paranoid, but I do think I have a right to reasonable privacy. Things like GMail, Google Maps, Keep etc are now app non grata. I don't need the hassle of thinking about how I formulate an e-mail knowing that it will be stored on some anonymous server in Utah, Alaska or some other place. That it could be requested in some future divorce settlement, or some other legal situation where the other side feel the right to subpoena everything you've ever done.

I realize that if the app is free then I'm the product, that is why I have never had a problem paying for apps, but when I do that I also expect that my privacy is honored. Unfortunately that is not always the case, even paid apps have some odd permissions. There are also apps that doesn't have paid version, the above Google apps come to mind.

I'm just posting this here because most Android developers check out this place from time to time. This is my way of letting you know that honoring your customers' privacy could very well be a sustainable business model. I think you will see a growing awareness and concern about privacy on these devices that in some ways is a "spy in your pocket". If I'm right, then the sooner you start to address this, the sooner you will be ahead of the curve.
[General Questions and Answers] joutcast:
As I have received no support on the issue I am currently working on a solution and will update when I have a solution. I am very confident there is a possible solution after a LOT of research. I have been in it for over 15 years and know that most of the time when talking capabilities if someone says it is not possible it typically means they don't know how to do it. I have some progress already though help from someone senior in thus field that knows the ins and outs would be a great relief. I have done the majority of the research and see a couple possible options. At this point what is required is the knowledge and skill for thus specialized area of technology.

Hi. My battery discharged and my phone did a hard reset. I have resynced, and everything seem fine, except that my sms / text messaging facility has disappeared. I have even tried restoring an old backup, but to no avail. There is no longer an option to send or receive text messages (sms's). If I go into messages, I only get MMS and Outlook as options (and the pop email account I've set up). I recently installed the latest ROM version 3/10/05 which came out in June. Can anyone help? :( :?:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] StoneComputers:
I have a new Galaxy S3 (AT&T branded) phone... No matter what I do any extra APN settings I put in the APNs gets randomly deleted... I thought it was my SIM card but ANY SIM I try this happens, with Straight Talk, With Net10, and with AT&T Go Phone... if its not the default one randomly during the day it will get deleted... I have Googled this issue and found MANY people with the same exact issue but none have an answer except return the Phone... I would love to except I got the phone off a guy who just bought it from Radio Shack (We traded phones and cuz I deleted my old phone to sell it the texts are gone and I never put his number in my phone book... He was a very computer illiterate and thought that Net10 was cutting off his Data so it was happening with him too but he had not a clue... So returning it is out of the question... what do I try? I looked here and found a few old threads about this but never resolved (maybe I missed some?) This is making the phone next to unsusible its a 100% stock phone I am looking into finding a way to do a full restore Via Kies right now but I doubt that will work... Samsung is useless in this issue they say talk to Straight talk and Straight talk says talk to Samsung and AT&T wont even talk to me since I don't have a contract... please help...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DMF1977:
If it's 100% stock, what do u mean when u say that you're going to do a full restore? Have u unlocked the phone yet? There are a few threads that tell u how to do this, and u have to be stock, so try that and see if it helps. Are u saving the new APN after u create it? I've had this happen a couple of times after flashing a new ROM, later on I would reboot, and my straight talk APN would be gone, but I just create another one and it always sticks after that... Is your phone updated to the newest 4.1.2?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] StoneComputers:
I was going to reflash the stock rom with Odin to see if its a software glitch... Yes I save my settings they stay for hours sometimes days and then randomly dissapeer
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] StoneComputers:
Just a recap... I have Android 4.1.2, my phone is AT&T branded... The APN settings randomly delete themselves, all of them, it doesn't matter if I make 20 APNs and save them all when it happens all of them go away... I found something strange today... I lost my APN settings like normal early this morning (right before I posted this thread) and I was being lazy so I just put in the APN and the port I left out the MMS settings Cuz I didn't feel like looking them up plus I don't think I've gotten a picture message since 2002... Anyway the settings have not cleared yet and its been a whole day... Maybe its one of those long times were it won't reset for a day or two... Or maybe just maybe I am on to something... I have never seen the APN settings reset yet with just the data set up and nothing else.... I'll keep it like this and keep u all posted....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DMF1977:
Are u using the same APN as u were on your 959g?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] StoneComputers:
No I'm using my BYOP Sim and Straight Talk sent me a new I one I guess they turned off all the old Sims Cuz they were selling for too much the new Sim has new settings the APN is just TFData and that's it no more WAP or MLvo or whatever it was.... I did try the old settings and they didn't work with this new SIM... but this same thing happens with Net10 and go phone Sims
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DMF1977:
Hmmm, not really sure then. I just used my old sim that came with the 959g, trimmed it down, created a new APN with all the old settings and was good to go! Maybe try APN manager from the market? U can backup and restore your settings. At least u wouldn't have to enter them manually every time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] StoneComputers:
Yes it totaly random and other people have the same issue... the APNs still havent reset with the way I have it now maybe it has something to do with the MMS settings here are the new settings maybe someone can find a flaw in them...

FIELD	SETTINGS

NAME	straight talk

APN	tfdata

PORT	80

MMSC	http://mms-tf.net

MMS PROXY	mms3.tracfone.com

MMS PORT	80

as of right now only putting in the TFdata line with the first port 80 seems to be keeping it... I dont use my MMS but I do have really long texts that get sent MMS sometimes and they would not get sent/receved so is there anyone who can look at this and tell me if Straight Talk ****ed something up here? the thing is Both Net10 AND Straight Talk have these same exact settings and the Go phone could have just been cuz I had the Straight talk ones in the list,..... I might be on to something here.... if I get this Ill post on all of those pages that had issues that have never been resolved maybe the MMSC or the MMS PROXY is giving errors cuz I do know that when it works with all of these settings on the data is a slower (3Mbps) to when its just the data settings (6Mbps plus) but that could have been a acquiescence (spelled right?) LOL can someone who knows about MMS and MMS proxys get back at me?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] StoneComputers:
WTF?!?!?

THE APN Settings still have not reset with just the Data settings wrote in.. Im going to put the MMS settings in tonight and see how long it lasts till it resets... I hope this helps someone knowing you can have the DATA settings at lest is better then nothing... Im gonna experiment, if they delete again ill try the old proxy and MMS settings and see if they still work...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DMF1977:
Why don't u root it and flash a ROM? I seen someone, I believe enewman17, post a flashable zip that's supposed to help with apns sticking...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] StoneComputers:
I got TWO major reasons why I haven't rooted yet, the first being I have heard from more then one site that returning the S3 has fixed the problem like the one they had was defective, if I have to return it I'd rather it be stock (I know I said I couldn't return it to the store but I know if I ***** at Samsung long enough they will give me the warranty since they have the record of when it was sold)

The other reason is I want to try and figure the problem out if it is a glitch, hardware issue, Android issue, whatever it may be and if I root and ROM it then that's just one more factor I have to throw in to the list of things that could be messing with my results... also some of the other posts Ive read they were on CM 10.1 so it could be a deeper issue.... I think maybe its the way the MMS is entered to the device maybe there is a trick... there is a hi-fen (I don't know how to spell it) in the settings and I have never seen one before in MMS settings...

Lastly I take my time and go though all the ROMs cuz I don't like to flash my phones over and over since I use my phone though out the day for many reasons so I need a working smartphone.... but I do have to do it soon since I do need my Tether... my SGSII is looking better all the time to bring as back up since its not getting much traffic on Craigslist....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] StoneComputers:
Weird.....

So I have been going for DAYS without an issue.... the only thing that's different in my APN now is the NAME from when it was deleting itself... I used to name it Straight Talk but i been named it TF I wonder if having a space in the name messed it up? this is truly strange and if that's the issue then I will have to lay down and take a nap from the head trauma that will follow, finding out that naming the APN wrong can have these effects... Ill report back here ASAP on this.... :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] StoneComputers:
almost a month and still working have not a clue what is going on...

I did remember seeing an update from AT&T but it didn't seem like any kind of firmware update I thought it was something to do with one of their apps but who knows... APNs are working fine now haven't had one delete on me in all this time... strangest thing I have ever seen... I bought a 6.5 inch Monster quad core phone from China and will be joining that thread now (if there is one)... I gotta sell this SIII and SII now LOL but thanks for all of you who tried to help

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] C-4Nati:
Ok, this isn't my first rodeo as I've owned many android devices including the old nexus 7. I'm trying to unlock and root this but I can't install the drivers. I tried the device manager method and when I search it can't find anything and I tried a website to manually do it by downloading a zip and choosing it to no avail. Any one have the link to the drivers as that website may not of been accurate or anyone have any other suggestions?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] :
You need to unzip it first.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] C-4Nati:
Yes I did that and it only had two folders that showed up while browsing in the update drivers part in device manager. One was AMD86 and the other was i3 something and neither of those matched the picture in the steps but I used the link given within the same tutorial.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] :
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] C-4Nati:
Ok I still cannot install the drivers. When I downloaded the file provided in that link, there are no driver options at all. There are only two folders in which I described in my previous post and neither have drivers in them. I'm no noob and have done this plenty of times, I even tried to adb reboot bootloader and it says device not found and yes USB debugging is on so I'm assuming I can't do anything until I some how install the drivers.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] :
Which website guide are you looking at?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] C-4Nati:
The one on the site. Ok I installed SDK manager and I checked google usb drivers in it and it installed it, but when I do the adb commands it still says device not found -.-
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] :
If nothing else works, you might consider partitioning your hard drive and installing a secondary OS. Both Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu worked for me no problem.

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
cd Downloads
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-flo.img
adb push update-supersu-v1.51.zip /sdcard/Downloads
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] C-4Nati:
Ok I installed the drivers correctly, I figured it out. Now when I try the adb commands it says device offline when it's clearly not lol...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] C-4Nati:
I've got everything working now and unlocked and rooted. I appreciate all the help you have offered to me. I do not remember it being this difficult with the original Nexus 7 lol.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] :
Fastboot is all you need to root your device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nolanta:
I'm having a similar problem with drivers, why don't you post how you solved it? I am trying on 2 different windows 7 machines. google drivers don't load, asus drivers don't load. Device manager just says "windows could not find driver software for your device."

---------- Post added at 08:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

I figured it out, have to turn MTP on, then install drivers - then you can turn MTP back off if you want.
