Q: I can't flash official ROMs now, what's wrong?

A: That is a known effect, due to the smaller partition size, only C version Chinese official ROMs will fit in. You will not be able to install B version offcial ROMs via Odin anymore. See Post #11 for details.

However custom ROM are not affected, flashing WanamLite, Arrow, Crush, Omega via custom recovery is tested and working perfectly.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Can I flash only the pit file and then custom recovery, and then a custom ROM, i.e. skipping bootloader, modem, and system?

A: well, supposedly it should work, however I have not tried it. Others tried and reported success. See post#38 Thanks for the feedback [MENTION=4445240]Faye Reagan[/MENTION]

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45237267&postcount=38

What I can confirm is that modem doesn't matter at all, I have flashed tons of modem and there is no single conflict(except for the MG9 fiasco). So you can surely skip the modem if you wish.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Will doing this change my Phone model and thus affect warranty?

A: Yes So please be sure you know what you're doing before proceeding.

My guess is that the changing phone model has something to do with the bootloader included, so you may skip the bootloader and keep your own one if you feel more comfortable that way, again I do not know what is the effect of this. Anyway according to post#38 this should be safe.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Can I revert to 8.9G data partition?

A: Yes, as reported by [MENTION=4648515]AL_IRAQI[/MENTION] in Post #66

Q: Does it break dual boot?

A: Yes. The system partition is too small for 2 systems. See Post #52

Q:will this work for I9505?

A: No. While I do believe same magic will be there for i9505 sonner or later, this is for now for I9500 ONLY.
[Galaxy S 4 General] shamps:
Hi. Thanks for this info. Would love the extra space. Just a couple of quick questions.

Will it revert the phone back to stock fully??

Will it be possible to root and install custom roms later on?

And lastly does it effect the possibility to unroot and revert to official status if the phone is required to he returned for repairs??

Thanks in advance!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] hypergamer1231:
what if i flash the pit file only and later install omega using philz will it help
[Galaxy S 4 General] lch920619x:
1 , Yes your phone will be completely stock , which means you lose anything stored in your phone so please do make backup.

2, You can flash a custom recovery and do whatever you want after the process. As I mentioned I don't encounter any compatibility issues despite the Chinese base; but there is no guarantee.

3, Afaik there is no way to reset the binary counter in your S4 so by right warranty is lose if you flash a custom firmware and there's no way to revert.
[Galaxy S 4 General] lch920619x:
I have not tried and I would not recommend doing that. The kit comes together with a reason I believe...

Anyway I suppose it doesn't save you that much time, the flashing process is rather fast.

But if you're brave enough you can try. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] shamps:
Great. Actually I know that the binary country can't be reset on my S4." I think you can still get the phone status in about device" under settings to official(I hope I am not mistaken).

Cheers!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] hypergamer1231:
hmmm the only reason i asked was the dload speed here is 60kbps so 7 hrs to dload this rom!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] lch920619x:
Yes it's still shown as official, but your product name will become i9500CHN which means doing so totally converts your phone into a Chinese model. You can revert to your country model if you have the KIT for your country.

My guess is the change of product model is due to bootloader. So maybe you can try to skip flashing the bootloader and see what happens... Again do it at your own risk...

I don't care abt warranty stuff so I just flashed everything and i am happy now.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Volftooth:
Only chinese C verson ROMs can be flashed via ODIN into 11.8GB available space devices, others version you will get a red FAILED on ODIN.

3 ways can solved this:

1. By flashed a third-party custom roms in recovery like Omega.

2. Flash C version ROMs via ODIN. (zcuCmh1 zcuCmg1).

3. You can modify stock img file and make it flashable for 11.8GB available space devices.

I did a third way and I made it..:D
[Galaxy S 4 General] lch920619x:
Thanks for the info. I didn't know abt this as I never flashed any official fw after expended my storage. With custom fw there were no prob at all.
[Galaxy S 4 General] shamps:
Where can I find the "kit" related to my country?
[Galaxy S 4 General] lch920619x:
well, to be honest Idk.

The 5 file kit is quite a different story from normal fw files, they are not often released. I only have a few Hongkong and Chinese versions of the kit. That's why I suggested you to try to keep your bootloader and see what happens...
[Galaxy S 4 General] lch920619x:
after flashing the pit file your internal storage is erased, so how can you straight away flash omega...?
[Galaxy S 4 General] hypergamer1231:
By flashing philz after the pit
[Galaxy S 4 General] lch920619x:
Err, so you have an external sd card to put the zip file right?

If that's your case then it seems logical. But I would say again, if you want to try, try at your own risk:good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] hypergamer1231:
Yes so I thought maybe flash pit first that will erase everything and then it will be in a bootloop so go to download mode again n flash custom recovery n then flash omega n boot
[Galaxy S 4 General] sorg:
why don't upload here just adonis_C.pit ?

The difference in storage is exactly in this file. Download from baidu is nearly impossible!
[Galaxy S 4 General] lch920619x:
ok for you brave people I will upload the pit file. reports(wether success or failure) are welcome

N7105. rooted. poweramp. blackbox m16 headphones.

I previously used a HtC desire Z, never rooted. My favourite app was was volume boost https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiboweb.android.desiresoundunlock. It noticeably increasd the maximum volume with out affecting the sound quality and did not require a rooted device.

Now with the note2 rooted it does not work! I have tried several other volume boosters in the market but none of them seem to do anything. I dont care to change the capabilities of the devices speaker. The more eq apps i use with my music the lower the volume of the track, i am not willing to sacrifice bass for volume.... can anyone help?

thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karthikrr:
If your phone is rooted, you can just edit a conf file to increase the volume. From memory, I think its default_gain.conf in the system/etc folder. But, I maybe wrong about the specific file. If you don't find the above file using ESFileExplorer (or whatever root explorer you are using), just google for this. The issue has been addressed quite extensively. Once you find the right file, there is a section for volumes where you just increase whatever number is next to Headphone and you are done. Be careful about how much you increase it. Good luck...

[General Questions and Answers] RobPitt:
I was getting this error when I tried to update Worms 2: Armageddon. None of the things I tried on the Internet regarding clearing data and cache worked and neither did uninstalling it before reinstalling.

I found a directory in /sdcard/Android/obb called com.worms2armageddon.app that I couldn't access even as root. I rebooted into TWRP recovery and deleted it using the file manager there and lo-and-behold, I could now install worms.

So if you are having problems with error 492, take a look in /sdcard/Android and see if you have a related directory in there that for some reason you are not able to access as root.

This did not work for me, hence my post sharing the method that did. Have you even had error 492? The error codes aren't all the same.
[General Questions and Answers] aznmode:
Had the same error and tried clearing google play and google service data but didnt help. When I used ES file explorer some of my game folders in the android/obb didnt have folder icons but a square icon with a "?". If I go to root explorer I don't see them and I can't delete them in ES File Explorer. I use Folder Mount to simulate data to sd and luckily when I opened it, it recognized that some of my files were corrupted and fixed it for me. Now I when I go back to ES File Explorer, they're back to folder icons and was able to update the game the was giving me the 492 error.

So error 492 seems to be corrupted files and/or folders for the app you're updating. I wonder if this is a 4.2.2 thing?

Hello

I was having same problem, tried clearing cache, new google account with no success.

As I am using folderMount, this app doesn't allow deletion/creation of already linked folders, so I deleted the linked folder for the application I was installing and done ! 492 error gone.

This could be linked to SDCard/Android/Data and SDCard/Android/Obb folders

Hope this helps
[General Questions and Answers] Mozzer1:
I had the old 492 error and clearing the cache(s), and data etc did not work. Unmounting the external SD card (as recommended by one site) did not work.

This forum discussion had me checking the Android folders etc. And specifically the obb folder. The issue came down to app permissions. At some point in the OS upgrade history of the device. From 7.1.2 Lineage OS nightly to 7.1.2 self compiled (perhaps?) the ownerships have changed. I am sure someone can explain how and why etc. The program in difficulty here was MAPS.ME (com.mapswithme.maps.pro) and you can see the old and new folder structure below.

It appears that this version of Android is using user and App numbers as the ownership of the folder. Fair enough. All I did was delete the folder and content before reinstalling the app. All good - I can download the map data again. What would have been ideal would to have been able to change the ownership of the folder. To do that I would need to know the user ID (Name) of the app or it's App number. Without an old school /etc/passwd I am a bit lost here :)

Another option, if I really cared about the data might have been to rename the folder. Reinstall and copy the data back.

Thoughts? Ideas?

Hi.

Here, i have a very difficult issue with my unlocked transformer tf700t.

I wanted to install cyanogenmod ... I was to wipe data but it got interrupted

I have read many threads already like those:

http://www.2toer.com/2012/10/reset-button-transformer-pad-infinity-tf700t.html

(held for more than 50 seconds and it shaked but didn't help. tried to reset repedeatly too.)

http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...oot-into-android-after-jelly-bean-update.html

I also download "universal naked driver"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2263822

But i am totally unsure how to install the driver and windows itself won't see its .inf files as valid. (windows 8).

I could use my cellphone's SD card but i can't run the recovery tool, can't boot, the very initial screen says "device is unlocked" and it is... But i can't enter the recovery mode and run RCK or wipe data.

http://www.technipages.com/how-to-soft-and-hard-reset-asus-eee-pad-transformer.html

However how eternally i could hold vol down + power ... it won't launch into recovery mode... It's much like freezing.

I should maybe have directly run rck instead of doing wipe data...

Is there a way to send any signals to the tablet via usb with a windows tool?

[edit]

Right now i'm checking with the .blob solution...

Yes, there is a method to access your tab from your computer, it's called Fastboot. But you don't seem to be able to get to the bootloader menu at all to get into fastboot mode, are you? By booting holding Power and Volume Down buttons?

If that is true, you are hard bricked, I am sorry to say, and my only suggestion would be to try this method I read about on the TF300 forum:

[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Sorry friend - it's a brick :crying:

You can send it to Asus to have the motherboard replaced or try to find one sold for parts on ebay and replace it yourself.

Just for forensic purposes: Did you execute "Wipe Data" from the bootloader menu?

Yes... From the boot menu. What parts do i need to replace? Any workaround possible before giving up hope?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Can you get back to recovery at all or the bootloader?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You need to replace the motherboard.

My guess is, you flashed a custom recovery and then used 'Wipe Data' from the bootloader menu.

The instructions you followed probably advised you to wipe data before flashing the rom, but you had to do that from your custom recovery - not the bootloader menu. 'Wipe data' from the BL menu with a custom recovery installed is a very, very risky business.

Sorry mate.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] Matthieu.s:
you mean... That from all tutorials that i've read, not a single author had the idea of putting a screenshot of "don"t wipe" from menu...

Or shouldn't have the utility's author chose a synonym instead of using the same word as the device makers did?

Or that this nearly 600$ crap that's keyboard is almost worth the half of itself and doesn't even come along, that doesn't even charge on USB, that has the crappiest android interface and that lags like hell even after a factory reset with its useless 4 cores... doesn't even come with an emercency secure-rom partition?

Dude. I should have bought a laptop.

It's like... This wipe data utility has only one use: autodestruction? that's it? Is it a way to make sure that the richest of us will buy a new one as soon as the old new one breaks?

I don't understand why this process also erased ... the bios? It's like... How would anyone be able to do anything without the bios?

Hmm... It discharged by night. The battery icon still loads and at its current state... It still checks for its charge state... It's still alive... There must be a way to wake it up from its sleep...

Maybe the interface isn't frozen but just doesn't respond to the voldown+power button?

Maybe there exists something to plug on the 60 pins plug that could force-access the partition?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Do you still be able to fastboot or access from your pc? You might have a chance to flash a new blob for you device..:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I understand that you are upset - I would be if I were you. But you can hardly blame Asus or the author(s) of whatever instructions you were following for bricking your tablet.

The disclaimer you have to read before you unlocked could not be more clear: They strongly discourage you to do it and make it abundantly clear you are on your own if you do.

Every set of instructions on flashing I have read also states: "Don't blame me if something goes wrong - you are doing this at your own risk" in one or the other form.

You did it anyway and made a mistake.

I do feel for you! It's a huge bummer to wreck a $600 device, no doubt about it.

Wipe Data from the bootloader menu is a feature of the stock rom. If I understand it correctly (and please someone correct me, if I'm not) it's a last ditch method to reflash the tablet with stock firmware.

It wipes everything except the stock recovery and assumes that you have a copy of the stock firmware on a microSD waiting to be flashed.

Asus provided a safe Factory Reset option from the settings menu for the average user and I bet they do not want users to access the bootloader and mess with it's options at all. There's a reason it's not exactly intuitive to get there.

Yes, I agree, there should be a warning before Wipe Data does it's thing.

Unfortunately there isn't....

But again, you can hardly blame Asus for a feature of the stock system not working with custom software you installed.

And again, I am sorry for your loss....
[Asus Transformer TF700] Matthieu.s:
maybe if i had the files on a sd card it could load them indeed..

Something like putting usual partition files on the sd card and see if it loads... It may check for its missing files on the SD if i'm lucky... Can i do this and go directly to cyanogen? I'll check the topics that discusses it furthermore... But my situation may vary... Major thing is that i really can't access it from PC from boot welcome screen so it discards all topics that asks for a usb connection... And the boot-to-CRW button makes no effect meaning it's also broken... Maybe putting CRW on the SD card and process the cyanogen file that should still be on the storage's base folder?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Matthieu.s:
Don't worry friend i still have hope... Maybe the solution is in what you spoke of and is to use SD in some way i spoke in the previous comment but i'll need just a bit of help and guidance ... and links :) I'll use my cellphone's sdcard and backup>format it and do whatever required to wake the tablet's system up just enough to restore its missing files... Like... If the machine does check for SD (maybe bootscreen isn't frozen but just idle) maybe it could check for its required files like CWM or base firmware... I really believe the SD card plan is a good idea but the only thing is that it must be made automatically or if isn't i probably won't be able to trigger from vol_down+power... Or maybe could... Let's see ^^

I'm still not clear. Do you have access to the bootloader or not.

It sounds like you do in which case all is not lost. Give up on the SD method though. The trick here is to ensure you have the right PC USB drivers installed.
