[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whereisthesummer:
Hello lovely android people,

I am a newbie, so im guessing this probably isnt the right place to post this type of question. Please feel free to guide me to the right place.

So the question...

I rooted my galaxy ace2 (gt18160) and install Pimp My Rom app from the market. Did some changes with it and now the phone wont start up, stuck in the bootloop where the logo appears and it does not go anywhere from there.

Ive been researching for solution since yesterday, and found out that I could re-flash the firmware using o2 stock using odin.(although im not quite sure this is a correct solution)

Since there's a possibility of all the data getting deleted, I want to get some files out of the device using ADB pull.

I used adb shell to look for the files I need. At first I could see the sdcard in the root directory / but could not access it without su. After doing su command I can go inside the sdcard directory (where my files are), but it appears to be empty.

ls -l /mnt lists the sdcard with unusual d--------- permission.

Im stuck and dont know how I can grab my files from the sdcard folder.

any suggestion will help.:cyclops:

Thanks
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carpe-Dimi:
mnt/sdcard is only a symlink to storage/sdcard0 (mount for the internal sdcard) so it does make sense that adb can't cope with that path.

Still, it is impossibibble to delete stuff from either of your sdcards via odin or recovery. Flashing via odin doesn't wipe the data partition either, so as ong as u select the right firmware for our phones, nothing can go wrong really :D
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whereisthesummer:
Thanks for your reply Carpe-Dimi.

after checking /prop.partiitons, it seems that sdcard hasnt been mounted.

The problem now is that there are 18 partitions and I dont know which is the sdcard?

I tried mounting the first mmcblk0. Give me the 'device or resource busy' error.

Excuse my arrogance but I would have liked to find out why I cant access the sdcard or why I cant mount the partitions.

...and thanks again for letting me know that flashing does not wipe the data. :good:
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whereisthesummer:
SOLVED!

As Dimi said, flashing does not wipe data partition. But I was able to recover my files in recovery mode as it automatically mounted the mmcblk0p8 partition.

Then installed stock firmware.... tried new jelly bean, then went back to stock as its slow and laggy.

Cheers

Hi,

I bought a Pioneer DEH-P70BT car stereo it has a internal BT carcit BUT my qtek 9090 is not compatible with the head, my other phone a Ericsson Z600 works without any problem

But my 9090 won't connect to the carkit in de radio

this is also stated in de compatibility list on the pioneer site

if anybody can solve this problem for me, witch give me the option to lose the Z600 again and go back to 1 phone

the pioneer has BT 1.0 and works ok with the qtek S100

pls help

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Avareh:
Hi John,

I am going to order the Pioneer DEH-P70BT soon since my Jabra BT800 headset seems to be useless when I try to call hands-free (this headset is obviously not the best candidate for QTek9090 and people at PDAShop in Rotterdam had already warned me due to compatibly issues).

Anyway, I was searching on the web to see if there are any experiences with DEH-P70BT till I found a few reviews at http://www.kieskeurig.nl

Go here: http://www.kieskeurig.nl/review/96D5EED1A819DFD3C12570230044CEC9.htm and search for Qtek, be aware that despite the official statement of Pioneer (see compatibility list of phones: http://www.pioneer-eur.com/eur/compatibility_Web.pdf) people use this player with QTek9090.

kind regards,

- Avareh
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Neil__C:
Don't use the register function on the head unit, instead tell it to connect. Then go to the phone and add a BT device with the code 1111. It worked for me with a JAMin.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseymofodude:
When using a NON rooted HTC Desire Z with Power Amp (cannot remember which version of droid or Poweramp) and an 8gb micro SD card I was able to select which music I wanted to listen too via the 'Folder' view, as well as the horrid 'Libary' view.

Now I am using a rooted (no customer ROM) Samsung GT N7105 Note 2, Power Amp 1.0 build 230 Full version, and a 64gb micro SD card. When I navigate to 'folder' I am instructed to check box the locations I store my music to play with Power Amp. The problem is the locations to chose from are all folders from my internal storage only, nothing from the external storage is shown from me to check. I have been through all the obvious options and settings but nothing is having the desired affect. I have tried moving Power Amp to the SD card to see if this works an no....

If it is not possible can someone suggest a decent music player that has a simple folder browser view? One with a decent EQ, or an EQ app that works with another music player with a folder/broswer type view?

I listen to music through headphones mostly so the EQ app or feature doesnt need to work through the devices speaker.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakure:
may i suggest the Samsung default music player:D
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseymofodude:
Once I rooted the device I uninstalled all the samsung apps including the music hub, I simply assumed like the rest of the stock music players I have come across this would be useless for me! I have tried to get the music hub from the market but it demands I update to the latest version before it will allow me to use it, and unfortunatly the latest samsung hub app is not compatible with my device!

Any other suggestions?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakure:
Not the music hub. . The music Player
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseymofodude:
This is making me seem like far more of a noob than I really am but should this be on the play store? When searching Samsung music all I get thats relevant is the music hub!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakure:
Samsung music player... you might have removed along with music hub. . (My Indian firmware has no music hub as the features don't work in India. . My note 8 with german firmware has both music hub and player. .... the music player should be there with the same icon as the hub... making it easy to have been overlooked while it was removed by you)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseymofodude:
thanks, turns out the stock player wasnt as bad as i thought . the EQ is a lil clumsy, but the thing that puts me off most is not autoplay/pause when connecting headphones. Used it for a few days atleast though.

Ive just installed a newer version of poweramp and its done the trick anyway!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bullfrog527:
Well, I decided to root, unlock and s-off my new phone. I'm new to HTC devices, have had crapsung and moto in the past. I successfully unlocked and rooted my One but am having problems gaining s-off.

I tried revone and it says failed, nothing to chmod.

I tried moonshine and it shines 10 levels then kicks out an error.

I decided to go back to stock, flash the ruu and start over. I relocked my bootloader with fastboot and ran the utility and it errored out saying bootloader error. My phone says ***tampered*** ***relocked*** ***security warning*** on top.

I'm downloading the sprint stock rooted ROM to sideload and flash when its done. I hope that will work.

After the security warning it says

M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-ON RH

RADIO-1.00.20.0617

OpenDSP-v31.120.274.0617

Thanks for any help in advance
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Aldo101t:
well that radio doesn't seem right should be 0626 last 4 digits, if your on latest firmware there is no RUU for it yet, only way to RUU to a previous build will be to s-off first.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bullfrog527:
Well I messed up. The last 4 of my radio are 0626. Sorry, I looked at the wrong line when I typed it in
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bullfrog527:
I tried the ruu again and it says error 140 bootloader version error
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sshede:
Then you ****ed up how you typed it. Rename the revone file to just "revone". Should be:

chmod 755 revone

That should work.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bullfrog527:
Now I have no is to boot into. After running the ruu, it only will boot into the bootloader
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Konfuzion:
Your going to have to flash a recovery and from there sideload a rom then I guess try to get s-off again.

I think my guide makes getting s-off easy http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2319412
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bullfrog527:
Copy
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bullfrog527:
So I relocked my bootloader and can get into stock sprint. I'm going to try redownloading revone and getting s-off.

Tried it and it kicks out revone failed (error code =2)

This was after the ./revone.bin -P command
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Konfuzion:
You can just try again and our you can try lower case p.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bullfrog527:
Now it's saying revone not found. Which is what it was saying before. After I do the chmod 755 revone.bin command, what is the result?

Here is a copy of what I'm doing in terminal

u0_a224@android:/ $ su

root@android:/ # cd /data/local/tmp

root@android:/data/local/tmp # dir

Hi,

I am a new Galaxy S4 I9500 user and has been following xda threads for a while.

I like stock touchwiz experience but would love to have more control and features. Hence I decided to root my device and install a custom rom.

Based on roms description and UI, both Omega rom and Arrow rom look good to me, would you please recommend which one you prefer more and why.

It will help me in deciding which one to go with. Galaxy s4 is my work phone so I can't keep on flashing one rom after another so your feedback is highly appreciated.

Thanks.

This type of thread is strongly frowned upon and will probably get locked as soon as the mods catch wind of it.

Take both of them for a test drive and then formulate your own informed opinion which of the two suits your own unique needs best.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajhavery:
I don't want to compare, I probably put my question in wrong way. Looking at the feature list I am not able to figure out what all things they offer and what they have removed from stock, so I just wanted to get some opinion of users here at xda.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
Since opinions about ROMs are subjective depending on how you use your device, everyone's is going to be different. We try to discourage such threads since they often don't end well.

Your best bet is to look through them to see which ones suit your needs and try them all out.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknigt:
Hello

Recently i've bought an broken screen Xperia Z, for repair it (i got it like $300 bucks cheaper) and i was ready to buy the screen, but i battery was drained and i could not test it right, when i connected to the charger, it started red light, vibrate, then 3 continuous vibes, read on the internet, OK BATTERY DRAINED, i left it charge THE WHOLE NIGHT, and when i woke up in the morning it was orange (charging), later in the day it was green (charged) but when i disconnect it, it wont turn on anyways, when i connect it to a pc, it goes blue light (wich later i read it was fastboot mode). i read for making a repair with PCC, but it didnt fixed it, then i flashed it with Flashtool, with the latest software (wich had the Sudden death issue fixed) no luck. it wont boot. for it to boot, i have to connect it to PC and with fastboot run "fastboot continue", but most of the time, it reboots and goes redlight and vibrate 3 times then reboot, so i press the power button and it enters fastboot mode (if connected to PC) or loads charging if connected to wall charger, but it reboots again and goes to redlight vibrate reboot, sometimes it stay charging or in fastboot mode, but only "works" if connected in the USB.

when it stays in fastboot, i do "fastboot continue" and it loads the OS, and it works (well, the things i can do with a broken LCD/Touchscreen, i put my sim card and could call it, and it works, but i cant pick up the call). i can explore the phone memory etc. but if it reboots or if i disconnect the USB, it will almost always turn off. i havn't found a solution (or idea) of what can happen, i dont know if its normal since it has broken lcd/touchscreen or it definitely have a huge problem,

any ideas?

thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Maybe the battery is damaged, and the phone knows it and boots into some sort of safe mode to spare internal damage? When the is has booted you can take screenshots with adb if you have usb debugging enabled. Maybe try see if the os says the battery is damaged?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknigt:
Well, actually it doesnt seem the battery is damaged, fisically looks ok and it holds charge, i cant debug because usb debugging comes off by default when flash stock software.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Correct me if i am wrong but does the xperia z not support usg-otg and mhl? You could rig the phone up to the tv with a mhl-hdmi cable and maybe use a usb mouse to select things, and enable usb debugging?

i ordered the LCD screen assembly for repair it myself, but im still concerned about this, as i dont know if it will boot up anyways

my phone right now isnt booting. but as i cant see images i dont know what is it showing.

i noticed the touch screen is working indeed. (when booted, it plays sounds when tapping)

i will wait till the lcd assembly arrives. any ways, any other ideas on what may happen?

the ex-owner of the phone said it started like that when it fell and broke the lcd.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknigt:
OK now, i've installed the LCD, the phone works, its ON, BUT the Volume Up button and the Power Button does not work when the phone is ON,

the Vol UP button seems always be pressed cause when i press the power button for some seconds, the Phone restarts and not power off or lock/unlock

Service tests: None of these buttons where recognized.

any ideas on any hardware fixes i could try?

I FIXED IT!!

dissasembled the phone, took out the side button flex cable and the volume up button on the flex was dirty, so it was having a false contact. (wich made the button always be pressed)

I took out the yellow tape and cleaned with alcohol and a needle (its so freakin small) and put the tape again and assembled the phone and voila! IT WORKS OK!!

I tried it today using spegelius' CM-10.2 sources and the compile went through. However, I'm currently a bit scared to flash it (yeah, I know... :o). If anyone dares to give a try to my build, send me a PM and I'll send you the recovery.img I got.

Additionally I added the following in the device/samsung/jf-common/BoardConfigCommon.mk. This is esentially the same as for the S4 except the Screen-Brightness-Regulation, which I suppose is different due to a different LCD (but TWRP should work without any brightness-regulation at all):

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tykate:
I've had my N4 for a while, and I felt that the headset for the Nexus 4 that's sold on the Play isn't worth the money, so I went with the EarPods, however I don't like the feel of them. Are there any good earbuds that aren't fully in ear (like EarPods, semi-in-ear) that work well with the Nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielms22:
Got those from ebay.de, because I hate in-ear headphones and pretty much every headset on Amazon was in-ear. Don't know what is supposed to be so great about them... anyway you'll probably find them on ebay.com as well:

http://www.ebay.de/itm/290916539574?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

They work fine and the sound is good for the price.

However I found it annoying that above the mic, there is still a quiet long cord to the left earpiece (like 40cm, the cord on the right one is even longer because it goes around your neck) because the mic has a 3,5mm socket itself and there is just a short pair of earphones in there. Of course that gives you the advantage of swapping those out. However you will have the problem of too much cord when you clip the mic to your shirt. (I just stuff the remaining cord in there :P)

Also the mic/button unit is a bit big for my taste, since it only has one button.

But, as I said, they work fine so far.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLostSoulxX:
If you want spend a little more and get the Klipsch S4.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLostSoulxX:
To be honest I never had any IEM before the Klipsch S4, you get used to it real quick and another thing is that they actually improve sound, isolation, comfortably better especially with the Comply foam tips.

Not really just watch the volume is all just like you do with the regular ones. All you gotta do is watch when you increase it is all.

At Walmart for $30 they are called yurbuds. Surprisingly these things rock!! They are in fact ear buds but they come with rubber like covers that slip over the ear buds. Not only does this funnel all the sound through to your ears but these things will not fall out. They are actually designed for people who run in triathlons. I play golf with them in and I'm very satisfied. Coupled with viper audio mod these are no joke!
