[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neier24:
I had the weirdest note with brick ever... out of 16gb only the first 300 mb and the last 1.3gb were partially usable, with freezes. I think i've flashed this device 300 times. gambling my way in. Since 8 april till now. I remember wasting 5 sundays disappointed, and an terrible amount of hours and resets. Seeing 50 flash counter often times and reseting them meant nothing to me. Today all was ended. All my suffering went to drain. This what happened. Ever heard of people who write very fast at the keyboard? well they usually do mistakes at 1% of the time. The luck failed me when instead of 11, out of combo, i removed partition 1 EFS. The ****ing most important partition on the phone. Not only... I was that dumb in efc backup, which i had (too complicated to me), i forgot to check the files and just formated the EFS altogether. Guess what, a reboot and the phone is all gone. A beautiful and quiet phone.

No download.

No recovery.

Not even the green battery charge animation.

You knew already before buying that you would get a bricked device.

And now you finished it yourself.

damn sorry to hear m8
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neier24:
Thanks for your concerns. I found a "usb jig" on the local market at 3$. That should let me go into download mode and let me do some restore.

magic thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarplayerone:
Someone may be able to correct me but you may be unable to write to /efs with just odin or flashing a rom- this data usually doesn't write to this partition, so would not restore it.

Not saying you cannot write it, just with what?

Your efs is unique to your phone, and contains your IMEI (also visible under your batter iirc).

Check settings/about phone to see what your IMEI reads.

If /efs is lost you can restore a nandroid if you have or an /efs backup (you backed it up at some point right?)

If not JTAG (riffbox) can recreate efs. I just got a similar situation (wiped bootloader) fixed for around USD30.

Please note that if you somehow triggered teh MMC_CAP_ERASE bug in that partition (by using an unmodified ICS kernel/others released before bug was known) you are screwed

This may not matter if your network still lets you connect with unknown efs- some do
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
you can with a five part rom, with leaked efs.img for n7000. not sure if rom flash with pitfile comes first thought.

You will loose emei and other stuff. So youre pretty screwed if your country providers ban generic emei.

Nandroids do not include efs. No backup tools do unless its specifically for efs.

Only Samsung or cvxcvx can fix it if you can prove phone is truly yours.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neier24:
It got fixed pretty quick. Went to a gsm and paid just 10$... only to make it boot up. I believe he lied me telling he did riff box thing... So I refused to pay more. He might have been used to the idea that people actually pay more for just a little thing as "USB jig" which costs 10 time less. He wouldn't be the first one. I think these guys feed on the idea that people believe this is either "throw" the phone or sell it for parts. They are sharks aren't they. Its a big business.

Afaik only param and efs arent recoverable... But "efs backup pro" is an app which does this for the worst case scenarious. Good luck guys.

Remember, there arent problems, only solutions. Cannot solve the problem at the very base it was created. But from a higher persperctive.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
it can be. Most dont go throught the effort of fixing stuff, basic consumarism I guess.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarplayerone:
Not entirely true Riffbox JTAG can regenerate /efs. It generates a new partition using any imei you want, but most vendors refuse to use anything besides what's on the sticker under your battery, since anything else is illegal.

Just correcting you since you implied OP had no recourse

I have problems with phoneAlarm application. It simply switches off my phone in case of auto-switching profiles. Short time after switching by time event...

Do you have same issues? How to avoid them. I am using phoneAlarm to sleep freely at night... :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm sorry to sound noobish, but every time I flash a ROM on my Nexus 4 (mako) that isn't a Cyanogenmod build (10.2-20130904-NIGHTLY-mako) , my home softkey becomes completely useless and the AOSP or AOKP keyboard constantly crashes. I was told this is a known bug in certain source codes as far as the keyboard is concerned in 4.2.2 builds, but I'm still mystified by the home button issue and as to why I other people can be using the same ROMs that I can't without a problem. Is there a certain version of GAPPS that I can flash to avoid this problem, or is there a known fix? I always wipe data and cache when flashing, so I'm pretty sure this isn't a user error, other than which version of GAPPS I'm flashing (gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andre_Vitto:
The known issue you are talking about is the JSS deadlocks? if yes, then it is not the problem with you.. for you it force closes the keyboard.. are you following the procedure of installing rom properly? are you doing dirty flash (flash without wiping data)? you can find out if gapps is responsible by booting into a freshly installed rom without installing gapps and see if the problem persists..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
You should also format the /system partition when you flash a new rom.

For some roms the Home button stop working for me and to fix it I had to install gapps, but most CM based roms I use don't have that issue.

As for keyboard, I always delete the default keyboard from the rom and use Google Keyboard.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Please explain what JSS deadlocks are. I don't dirty flash. I always wipe data. As for the keyboard and home buttons not functioning properly,I have this problem with XenonHD, PACman ROM, AOKP and CM variants.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andre_Vitto:
No your problem is not the jss deadlocks.. it happens when you type very fast or something.. it phone vibrates for like 5-10 sec and then restarts. I dont think its your problem. Sorry mate I have no idea why you are having the keyboard and homescreen issue even when you are are doing a factory reset every time you flash.. and why its not happening with CM 10.2..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Well, that's unfortunate. I've found that the RevoltHD ROM doesn't have problems, but that's because it's got integrated GAPPS.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CraiusProject:
Been having the same issue with my Nexus 4, after installing GAPPS the keyboard crashes and the home button stops responding. Did anyone figured it out by any chance? Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I still don't know what caused it, but I figured out that more recent nightly versions of those ROMs don't have that problem. I'm using AOKP currently and that used to be a problem ROM.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3dupunk:
Take off vibration and sound and all the bells and whistles and your keyboard should be fine if the issue isn't Rom specific. Also, it could be kernel related.....try boosting touch input if nothing else

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parker09:
I get the same problem, I factory reset each time I switch ROMs. I was trying with Vanir a couple of days ago and couldn't get the home button to work, tried OmniROM and it worked perfectly, went back to Paranoid it worked perfectly again, went back to Vanir and it didn't work. Was odd.

Android 4.3 Hitting US-Based HTC One Models Soon, Says HTC Insider – No Android 4.3 for the One S and EVO LTE

http://www.androidheadlines.com/201...sed-htc-one-models-soon-says-htc-insider.html
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
I wonder how long will it take to reach us?
[HTC Butterfly S] Terra1:
Will it reach us is the big question? They may forget us......
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
this is the hong kong and taiwanese flagship we will get it
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
Definitely Taiwan will get it first! Look at One X+, Taiwanese version got 4.2 before all the others.

I really hope they fix the audio crackling at high volumes, perhaps my unit has a defective headphone amplifier, but another user, tsokh, also noticed the same thing =/ Galaxy S4 with Snapdragon 600 had a similar problem, but I contacted HTC the rep told me that nobody else has complained to them about this issue (but then again I contacted HTC North America not Taiwan, a bit of a language barrier and they give you similar replies everytime there).

Also Beats Audio is kinda buggy if you listen to speakers with Beats on, and plug in your headphones the volume increasing effect of Beats is actually reversed and it actually decreases your volume, then turning Beats off actually increases the volume (leading to the audio crackling too). Even worse, after I do this, I start getting an occasional audio ZAP like not crackling but a loud squeak at the same location of a song.
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
I don't ever get that
[HTC Butterfly S] tsokh:
It's noticeable only on some type of music and only with high level of volume - you can't hear anything with moderate volume level.

Beats bug with increasing/decreasing volume is true :fingers-crossed:
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
It's only occurs with songs that have a slow deep bass, example would be the slow part of Touch by Daft Punk, some R. Kelly songs. With most songs audio quality is great but I notice a little bit of high-pitched EMI on the left channel at the beginning of each track.

The audio crackling is very apparent with in-ear headphones and earbuds, if you have the volume above 11/15. I find 12/15 to be the ideal listening volume so I do notice it a little bit, but using PowerAMP it SOMETIMES doesn't happen. (but with PowerAMP I get occasional audio popping as opposed to the crackling distortion)

With higher impedance on-ear headphones you only get it at the maximum volume setting (Beats off).

The HTC rep advised me to have it checked with RMA (I might just go to a service center in Taiwan to ask about it the next time I go, it takes about 2 weeks for a factory repair though)

Does anybody use Bluetooth for listening to music? If it doesn't happen on Bluetooth it might be the headphone amplifier.
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
When is android 4.3 really coming out for the htc butterfly s
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
update available for us http://www.hubfr.com/en/mise-a-jour-...ly-1-21-709-3/
[HTC Butterfly S] gelo01:
It's not only the butterfly S that is affected by the crackling sound on high volumes. I can confirm that it's also happening in One S and X..
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
I am not getting that sound
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
are you getting the same problem? I thought it made sense because the Butterfly s uses the same chipset as the i9505 GS4 which also had its own share of audio problems. It might only affect a few units as daorderdillon says he doesn't have the same problem with the song in question. It may also be that only 901e are affected as he has 901s.

Strangely I never got this problem on my One X+ but I did get constant skipping which bothered me but mostly only happens if the screen is on and I'm doing something with the phone. Original HOX had a bad DAC and a lot of users disliked the audio quality (never tried myself), HOX+ much cleaner but kinda lacking in bass and treble.

The new update does seem to make the touch screen more responsive. I was having problems with the shift key and the back button, also playing Lep's World 2 where the jump button didn't always respond (perhaps it's because they updated it recently). Finally, there used to be a continuous hiss in the background even after you stop music playback. With IEMs the hiss is still quite noticeable at the beginning and end of songs (including a high-pitched EMI on my left speaker), but it stops soon after you pause the music.
[HTC Butterfly S] zounduser:
Can u please b so kind and post a stock backup of the new OTA? that would b awesome. Please reply back.
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
sorry haven't rooted (yet anyways), still a noob here =/... Due to that headphone issue which I think may be due to the amp I don't want to risk my warranty yet, I'll be going back to Taiwan in a few months and maybe get a repair...
[HTC Butterfly S] zounduser:
Did u take the OTA update? How is it? Im most interested in the camera enhancements. Any feedback would b great. Thanks bro.
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
There isn't much difference actually the camera seems the same. Keyboard and buttons seem to be more responsive as I had some problems before under the screen protector.

Also, charging animation means your screen will always be on, I only realized this yesterday and I really hate it - what if your screen burns in? (good thing it's not AMOLED, but still there might be some retention as I get that on my iPad 2) Right now the only solution is to charge under standby mode.
[HTC Butterfly S] Cxpher:
What is the version number of this update?
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
I just got mines today for my 901S software version is 1.23.708.3 and i think the software version for the 901e is 1.21.709.3
[HTC Butterfly S] Cxpher:
Still haven't got mine yet. Are there any new features in Sense 5.5? Can't seem to find any videos.
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
its not a 4.3 update its only system fixes and stability issue fixes
[HTC Butterfly S] Cxpher:
Do they have a changelog?
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
this is a 4.3 thread plz go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2370309&page=9 for other updates

Not sure as yet!

Still no update I wonder what's taking HTC so long

i don't expect we'll get an update soon, because we already had the 1.23.708.3 update, i'm afraid it will be months before we seen 4.3 :(

Wow I don't think so though

[HTC Butterfly S] JarlSX:
like i said, i don't expect an official OTA update soon, cause we just had one

never will understand the mysterious ways of HTC, not releasing this phone worldwide, not releasing it with 4.3 or a timely update to 4.3....
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
They said November
[HTC Butterfly S] tropical cactus:
Never mind. It's our little secret.;)

Imagine how much more successful the One would have been with these added specs - 1.9, 3200 battery and 5 inch screen. A real keeper.
[HTC Butterfly S] boogie2001:
I completely agree. I have this phone ( in Red) and I get asked all the time, what type of phone is that? I also have the note 3 and dont get near as many inquisitive looks like I do with BS. We better get 4.3 soon!
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
Same thing with me I also get ask what kind of phone is this. Ppl be like what's a butterfly
[HTC Butterfly S] tropical cactus:

[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
I hv sense 5.5 already
[HTC Butterfly S] tropical cactus:
I haven't rooted because without s off we can't update firmware. Too much of a hassle to go back to stock to get official update since everything isgood so far.:)
[HTC Butterfly S] Terra1:
Anyone seen any official news when we will get 4.3 with 5.5?

I hate waiting............
[HTC Butterfly S] petra74:
Only read about HTC One in Europe getting the update... nothing about HTC Butterfly S....
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
If the developer s already making sense 5.5 roms from the BUTTERFLY S ruu then we will have the update
[HTC Butterfly S] petra74:
I certainly hope so... didn't root my phone so I guess I have to wait for official release...
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
I like stock to but I like to make certain changes like center my clock and change color of status bar and icons so I have to root and use custom stock rom
[HTC Butterfly S] JarlSX:
imagine how succesful the Butterfly S wouldve been with metal casing and a worldwide release...
[HTC Butterfly S] gelo01:
And an OIS in it's camera.. but then again, HTC didn't do all that because, what do you think will happen to the HTC One? It will be easily dethroned by the Butterfly S as a flagship..
[HTC Butterfly S] JarlSX:
i think they could co-exist, really, because of the screen size, there will be plenty people who will choose the One

and now they're missing out on sales for the Butterfly S...

i saw HTC Netherlands promote the old Butterfly, just a week ago, how silly is that?

Hi, I find the glossy finish stops the phone getting scratched. The camera glass also seems to be tougher. Lens on both my earlier ones got scratched very easily. :)
[HTC Butterfly S] gelo01:
If they co-exist, and the butterfly S had an aluminum body and OIS, people would think of it as another flagship, and that's one reason why they hate HTC, because of the "+" versions. Even if it is named as butterfly S, if it has the same specs as the One, together with bigger screen, bigger battery, higher clocked CPU, it will be viewed as a One+. That's why they managed to change the image of the butterfly line and not release it worldwide. They just want the One to remain as a flagship.
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
It's a real shame cuz such a device is a formidable rival to the Galaxy S4. So far no HTC device has Snapdragon 800 so the Bs is the most "powerful"... happy I purchased it over waiting for the One Max.

I hope they bring KitKat soon but it seems they're prioritizing HTC One/Max/Mini... They are much more aggressive about their One family now unlike the 2012 One X/S/V series which I doubt will ever be updated. Original Butterfly was released in December and was updated in July, about a month or two after the HTC One was released... Blinkfeed was also optional on it.
[HTC Butterfly S] stealthenator2:
I hope HTC brings android 4.4 and skip 4.3 to this device. To me both are minor updates so i'm not too worried about updates as of now.
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
I wish I cud see that coming I will give them until January
[HTC Butterfly S] lebmb:
I hope I'm wrong but this powerhouse of a phone like others before it might not see anything beyond sense 5.5 on 4.3 and I've been let down by HTC time n time again well we all have. I just wish they released it worldwide at least we would have had more dev for it.

I one more chatted Hongkong Support Center.

they said..

"We had plan for 4.3 update, but 4.4 is not yet."

cause, it's not finished 4.3 update plan, so I think they don't think about that until release it.

and they said similar like that...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO .. ㅠㅠ

HTC has mentioned both the One and the Butterfly S getting 4.3 about a month ago (or was it 2 months)

since then, the One has gotten it's update and the Butterfly S wasn't mentioned anymore
