Maybe it's an update error and you're stucked at recovery . Try flashing a new firmware through odin or root it by using hemidall suite with the help of odin and after rooting install CWM and then flash a custom rom

Need help with simmilar problem

Hello guys. I have similar problem. tab2 is literally looping between start screen that is asking for update and recovery. In recovery I tried from sd card to flash new rom or cwm but he is giving the same message: signature verification failed and he just restart and first screen is just asking for update and code. I instaled all drivers for samsung and tried on another comp but neider of them recognise tab so I don`t know if there is any help since I can not use odin and from sd he is just looping without solution. Please I am desperate. Sorry for English. Not my native language. Ido have some knowledge of rooting and working with odin but not with adb and now I am reading about it but also I see that even for that he needs drivers and recognition from pc. Please is there any option? Apreciate any help. Thanks :confused:

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd1.aeon:
I have a galaxy tab 2 7.0 which ive rooted and have the script that sets external sd card as internal memory and vice versa. Its running android 4.0.4 and Whats happening is my games are completely dissapearing and upon opening either one of them, it has to redownload all the game data. Its doing it all the time and its come to the point were im going to flatten it and install a custom rom.

What i need to know is where the directory is for save game files so i can back them up. If i use titanium backup, upon restore non of my games work so that option is out of the window. So the plan is

1, Back up the game save directories,

2, wipe it,

3,install a new os,

4. restore the save game files

5, redownload the games.

If this doesnt resolve the issue im thinking perhaps its the SD card.

I know in the microsoft world save game files are normally in your profiles Application data directory or the my documents folder. Does android have a similar set up?

Also, can you recommend a stable and clean rom for this device. Needs to have init.d support so android 4.1.2.

Would really appreciate any help anyone can provide :good::fingers-crossed:

Is it possible to flash SGH-M919 rom and kernel on GT-I9505 International. I have a GT-I9505 that I want to use on Tmobile USA. I want all the features of tmobile. Wifi calling, LTE etc. Also is it possible to change the baseband to tmobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
ROM yes. Kernel, I don't think so; use kernels for the i9505 to be 100% safe. Baseband, no, use i9505 baseband/modem. WiFi calling, no, that is a T-Mobile specific feature. Unless you have a T-Mobile SIM/T-Mobile service, the WiFi calling feature is useless.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nattyd:
Kinda figured baseband was asking too much. but most of my reading suggests that the SGH-M919 and GT-I9505 are basically the same hardware. So i figure that the kernel should work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
I think the stock kernel might work, though I personally don't know first-hand. I want to say I read somewhere that the

stock

kernels will work, it's the custom ones that might be a little wonky. Either way, I've always just avoided any possible incompatibilities and used a kernel for the M919 regardless if the i9505's would work or not. Even if it didn't though, worst thing that could happen though is you'd get stuck at the first splash screen. Nothing re-flashing the ROM wouldn't fix; and being that this would be the first boot, nothing would be lost.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sharpmarble:
Curious to know if you found a solution. I am also running an I9505 on the US T-Mobile network and have only been able to get H and H+ networks. Want to know if there is a radio I can flash that will be Android 4.3 compatible and give me 4G/LTE network access.

I posted a message above, I'm trying to do the opposite. I have a US T-Mobile from the US that I bought and I live in Thailand. It's unlocked but the Internet connection will only receive Edge, no H or H+. I thought that the bands on both were the same but they must not be.

I'm starting to wonder if they are must wanting us to brick our kindles at this point, I mean having twrp doesn't mean that we are definitely going to flash a custom ROM, it could mean we want to have insurance against a brick by making a backup, don't know why they see the need to not boot up if we have twrp.

[Sony Xperia ZR] idroid2324:
resolution matters not the hardware. for example i can port roms from xperia neo to one v because same resolution 400x800 but i can't port roms from sony xperia live walkman. although both xperia neo and live walkman have snapdragon s2 processor. And for porting roms require BASE rom first then you can port. porting will have some nor the other issue. you can try porting from nexus 4. but you might have issues like camera,wifi,bluetooth. but sometimes you can be successful too.. ;)
[Sony Xperia ZR] a546109781:
oh..thx
[Sony Xperia ZR] itandy:
Actually resolution doesn't matter in some cases. It all depends on how the ROM and its app handle different resolutions. ROM like CM should support different resolution nicely already. And some Xperia apps like phone app runs fine in both Z (1080p) and ZR (720p). But some system apps are designed to run on a specific resolution only, like most HTC apps, then you must choose those of exact resolution to use.
[Sony Xperia ZR] a546109781:
......I tested the framework mod from XZ..its works properly:mad:

maybe its only some apps does not work on 720P..

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] partimers:
For reasons of brevity on this post, I ended up with a generic IMEI on my Samsung S4 i-9500 while flashing Philz CWM and then the stock ROM back. After extensiverly combing all possible threads on the subject, my conclusion is that there is no way to repair a lost IMEI on this phone when one does not have a working backup of the /efs folder.

I tried all possible methods:

- Flash stock ROM back

- Delete /efs and reboot

- Try to fiddle with copying .nv_data to .nv_data.bin

- EFS Pro to recover from an /efs I had. I noticed this was already the one with the generic IMEI

- Flash the modem twice

- etc.

Is that really the conclusion? It is not possible to repair a lost IMEI on GS4? On other phones people usually get it back when reflashing stock.

Does GS4 has some trick done by Samsung so that IMEI is not recovered?

I thank upfront whoever can enlighten me on this topic.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Either buy a RIFF box & A) Pay for something you'll never use again & B) Bork your phone to the point of requiring a motherboard replacement if you get it wrong or take it to a local mobile repair shop/someone who already has one & knows how to use it and have it fixed properly for half the price of you buying your own/without the risk.

Do the smart thing.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] partimers:
Thanks for the reply, so then it is really impossible to recover. Is that always the case with other models or firmwares? Can a Samsung service center repair it, even with a cost out of warranty?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] partimers:
From all the posts I have read in the last two days, this one gave me more hope, as it keeps saying that restoring an older ROM may help.

It is not that I have an empty /efs. I have an /efs that I backed up, but after I noticed the fake IMEI issue. Can it be that somehow this /efs still contains what I need and is just not recognized by the stock ROM I am using?

This is the data about the stock ROM I am currently using, my phone is a GT-I9500 bought in Colombia, from carrier Claro, factory unlocked, no contract (I suppose all 9500 are like that). I flashed the Stock ROM following this guide, using the stock ROM files listed there http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265477

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yep. Sometimes flashing stock roms restores the IMEI where it's a case of it disappearing temporarily. But you've already tried that, and if this was the case with your situation, you would have fixed it already. I mean, you can flash a bunch of stock roms & maybe you'll get lucky, but it almost always returns with the first stock rom you flash in these cases.

If you have an EFS backup that you know is 'good' (I.E you verified its integrity with something like kTool when you made the backup), then you should be able to restore it with kTool/similar. If you've tried that & it doesn't work for whatever reason, the backup is obviously bad.

I would be very surprised if a Samsung service centre didn't fix it if you paid them. However, you will possibly find that a local mobile repair shop who isn't an authorised Samsung repairer will fix it more cheaply (that's certainly the case where I live).

I noticed you tried to restore the backup with EFS Pro (don't know why people insist on using this app, maybe it's the 'Pro' in the name ? I don't think I've seen anyone on here successfully restore with it), try with kTool (search here/Google Play).

What you do from here is up to you, but if it were me (having tried the things you've already tried), I'd be biting the bullet & getting it fixed tomorrow, because you can try a bunch of things that won't work & you'll still have to get it fixed in a week/whenever.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
Just found about 8 dead pixels when testing with a black background. Now that I found them you know they will bother me lol. You guys may want to check for them. You can use dead pixel checker from the play store and set it to black. Look closely, the more noticeable ones are when multiple dead pixels are grouped together.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] IMissPalmOS:
I seem to remember some Windows software for LCD screens that would "coax" dead pixels back to life by rapidly cycling the colors sent to them or something like that... Might want to see if such software exists for Android...
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] tmease1:
I'm not trying it out. If I was to find one I would be calling att with a warranty claim first thing in the morning. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
I agree, I wish I didn't know lol. I am running the "fix" let's see how it goes. I finally stopped getting the "return your defective phone" alerts from AT&T... I really don't want to go through that again...

EDIT: dead/stuck pixel test didn't work, I ran it for 30 minutes
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] tmease1:
That sucks. Do a claim and get a replacement. If I was in your shoes I would do it.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
For now I will hold off, I do not feel like setting everything up again... I just went through the process of replacing it a few months ago and it was so annoying, they messed up 2 times and it took 3 times to get me the right device and ship it to the right house... I will give it a few weeks and call and see if I can just go to a repair place and have them toss a new screen in it or replace it on the spot. I would like to know if anyone else is having this issue so I can know if it is even wroth fixing... if more people have this issue the chances are the replacement screen will too.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Gorgenapper:
I have droidwall installed, and I installed dead pixel checker. First of all, I'm curious as to why the app needs full network access if all it's doing is displaying full color screens one after another. Droidwall did catch it trying to send off 4 packets to some ip address.

No dead pixels that I could detect while using the app, there were some narrow vertical lines that looked a bit off but I think that's because I have a Ghost Armor screen protector on, and those are from the 'glue' or whatever keeps the screen protector adhered to the Gorilla Glass.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] x7nofate:
I have one dead pixel right,top corrner
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] tmease1:
I finally broke down and downloaded one of the pixel check apps off of the play store. I can't remember the name of it because once I was done I uninstalled it. Anyway, I'm good. Seeing this thread tempted me to damn much not to try it out.

There is a few software and physical ways of sorting these but it’s not guaranteed plus it should be covered under your warranty.

Hi. I'm currently on stock rom 4.1.2 and rooted. If I go in settings and family tory reset my phone will it remove root? I couldn't get a straight answer anywhere else. Thanks for your help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
No, it might remove updates applied to the Superuser application you're using (initial install being in /system and updates in /data), as well as which apps were granted root access but that's it. Factory reset deletes the contents of the /data partition, meaning your user apps and settings will be deleted. Depending on the options set, the internal SD card will be wiped, or not.

On the other hand, flashing back to stock with the original, unrooted Samsung images through Odin will remove root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] its_ja10:
Thanks for the clear answer. I appreciate it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] atxhellcat:
Out of curiosity, are you specifically looking for a way to remove root, or are you just wanting to factory wipe it without losing root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] its_ja10:
well here's the whole thing. i dont want to remove root. i want to flash to cyangenmod. I already tried cyangenmod 10.2 4.3 and it didn't work out for that well (battery life was ****, no data connection) so i moved back to stock. i was just curious to know if it did or not cause' i couldn't find straight answer anywhere else (or maybe i didn't look hard enough).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] atxhellcat:
Ah, I gotcha. I only ran CM for a bit, just didn't like the interface, but I certainly found it to be solid. And no, a standard master reset win't unroot you, it's (generally) done by a process much like rooting the phone, uses ODIN and all that. I believe there might be an application that lets you do it sans PC, but don't quote me on that. Barring highly unusual circumstances, you should still be rooted. To get back to stock, did you just restore your stock ROM backup, or did you flash it back in?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] its_ja10:
I just restored my backup from twrp recovery after wiping everything. Now one question. Is there any way I can flash the stock ROM without any t-mobile crop on it? I'm new to flashing. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
Ah, then look into TouchWiz ROMs based on the international LTE variant, the N7105.

FYI: If you didn't like CM for cosmetic reasons, it does have a theming engine. Or perhaps something like MIUI might be right up your alley.
