[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lasic:
Sorry, my bad, I didn't write this clearly before:

What also didin't help:

- Wipe/Factory reset in Philz nor Apolo (4.10 and 4.9)

- Clean install new rom option (can't mount automatically ROM zip file)

- Manually formating /system /data etc in CWM

- GS2ROMnuke v 2.12 (makes no difference, not 100% sure, that it goes without errors)

As for now I don't care about any data left on phone (I have backups). Still, I couldn't find way to reset my phone to factory state.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akalsemann:
and you've also made reset from settings>backup and reset>Factory data reset?

If you've done this, i don't know anything else you can do.

But better help you can recieve in the 'Noob Q&A' stickied on this forum. The peple there have much experience and can hopefully help you further..
[HTC One V] Rathke:
My power key doesn't seem to work when I boot into bootloader. Works fine when in normal OS, but I can't even get to the bootloader with the normal Power + Vol- key method.

So far I tried to sidestep this "little problem" using hasoon2000's all-in-one toolkit, everything goes smoothly until I get to the point were you have to confirm you want to unlock,

The power key won't work and I can't move foward. Last time I tried I was stuck here for a while until the phone decided reset itself

I'd like to root and install a new rom on my phone, but how to get past this is completely outside my capabilities. Any help is welcome :)

Edit: I should add, sending it in for repairs is not a very viable option sadly, since I'm currently in Argentina :(
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArghArgh200:
What happened/is happening:

Wi-Fi won't turn on. This includes anything that uses it. (Tethering, normal connection to routers)

The settings application will try to turn it on, but it just sits there until I enter another menu or back out and re-enter, at which point it shows it as off. Built-in wifi tethering menu in the same place says 'Error' and the checkbox is disabled.

USB tethering still works.

OpenVPN and its tun0 device still works.

Bluetooth... I don't use it, so I don't know.

What I've done:

I tried getting a logcat but I don't have any computers that I have administrative access to install the HTC drivers on, I wasn't able to.

I did some searching, and some frantic listing of directories, and comparing them to a friend's G2, and I found something.

`ls /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/` (same with /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/) gives me a list of directories corresponding to devices from `iwconfig`, but none with the names of eth0, wlan0, or wl10. List of devices from iwconfig:

lo, gannet0, dummy0, ifb0 ifb1, rmnet0, rmnet1, rmnet2, usb0, sit0, and ip6tnl0

Roughly the same list in /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/ (and /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/)

I've also flashed CM10.1 (Flinny's Andromadus build 25) and CyanogenMod 7.2.0 stable from their wiki. I started from 10.1, reflashed it, then flashed 7.2.0. No change.

I used CWM Recovery to format my /system partition and restore CM7.2.0 Stable, no change.

I have searched for about two weeks, and I've come up with nothing, short of getting a new phone, or getting some kind of backup of the files. I need a solution, because having Wi-Fi working is pretty important right now.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Had an issue like this way back when once and a clean wipe (including efs partition) and reinstalling ROM fixed it. Toward the top of this thread you'll find a link to the superwipe tool I'm talking about

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43195539

If this doesn't work then digging through the old threads for a fix should turn something up as I've seen many WiFi error threads over the years.

Oh and a logcat should help, just get an app from play store if you have no PC to use
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArghArgh200:
Worked!

Worked great! Thanks! It kinda wiped my data partition though, so I had to spend an hour queuing downloads on the Play Store. Better than having broken Wi-Fi.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArghArgh200:
I was wrong.

Not fixed, actually. I thought it had worked, but last night when I decided to power on my computer and start tethering to it, it was broken again. I'm getting kinda tired of putting up with this phone.
[Droid X General] robn30:
Shouldn't it be possible to use OTA Rootkeeper to temp un-root with a saved su backup. Take the update and then re-install the su backup to regain root. Do you feel this may brick the phone or something bad may happen? I am on the latest .621 update and rooted with Framaroot. Is there any reason not to do the update? Or is the update not even necessary at all and provides no added capability or security? Thanks.
[Droid X General] sd_shadow:
Yews that should work, although Framaroot worked, and is easier than anything else.

it is possible that it would brick phone, but unlikely.

Yes, there is no sbf, yet for this version, and no one has reported back whether the old sfb will work or brick.

[/QUOTE] Or is the update not even necessary at all and provides no added capability or security? Thanks.[/QUOTE]the changes are minor, and not worth the trouble, imo
[Droid X General] sd_shadow:
SBF: Works Flashing 4.5.621 SBF (FF-p3a_shadow_cdma_shadow-user-2.3.4-4.5.1_57_DX8-51-120111-test-keys-signed-Verizon-US.sbf.zip )

works, and restores phone back to

System Version: 4.5.621.MB810.Verizon.en.US

Baseband Version: BP_C_01.09.15P

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-g1282440 mcbk83@il93lnxdroid08 #1

Build Number: 4.5.1_57_DX8-51
[Droid X General] robn30:
Thanks for both of your responses. So it seems the update is not that worth while but if I do want to take it and something weird happens, I can SBF back to .621 to correct the problem. At least that is what I think your last post indicates. Again thanks for the insight on this.
[Droid X General] sd_shadow:
yes the 4.5.621 sbf works, I decided to test it.
[Droid X General] robn30:
Temp unrooting using OTA Rootkeeper, taking the update, and then restoring root with OTA worked as well. I had no issues using that procedure. Just wanted to post my results. Thanks.
[Droid X General] Nate2:
I have OTA RootKeeper, and plan on taking the OTA update soon by doing the above.

Do I need to unfreeze any frozen apps (via Titanium Backup) before the temporary unroot and OTA update?
[Droid X General] robn30:
I'm not sure as I don't freeze any apps, but unfreezing them would probably be the best idea. You can freeze again after the update. Hopefully someone else will chime in on this.
[Droid X General] sd_shadow:
yes you need to unfreeze stock apps
[Droid X General] JamesTheAwesomeDude:
Okay, so this update is still rootable, the only thing we're waiting on is the SBF incase something goes wrong, correct?

And this update doesn't apply to those of us running custom ROM's? I'm on pooka's CM7, so if I want the CMAS update I need to wait until someone makes cyanogenmod based off this update? Or can I just SBF the new update in and install the ROM on top of that?

Thanks for all the info you've already provided about this update. :good:
[Droid X General] sd_shadow:
update is rootable, old 2.3.4 sbf still works
[Droid X General] M3thL4b:
I had already udated my droid X to 45.621.10.MB810.Verizon.en.US and have never rooted before.. can I root my device? or am I out of luck? >.<
[Droid X General] palmbeach05:
What does the posts before you say?
[Droid X General] cakpoer:
can't root with framaroot

let me explain the chronology of events:

- Before the update system, i'm flash my DROID X with linux SBF methods (by Slitaz) and rooted

- I have updated the system to 45.621.10.MB810.Verizon.en.US, Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-g3e80c7a hudsoncm @ il93lnxdroid53 # 1, Build number: 4.5.1_57_DX9-10

- I lost my root, can not access the wifi tethering, screen capture etc.

- I tried to using framaroot, kingroot etc. but nothing works

Can I re-flash DROID X with linux methods?

*sorry for my bad english dude :D but I desperately need a solution
[Droid X General] sd_shadow:
Yes, updates always break root.

Yes, you can flash back to 4.5.621

Framaroot works fine, but use an older version.
[Droid X General] sd_shadow:
Yes foxfi tethering works
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] MBastian:
Im a hapy user of the Universial.

Today is the Wizard released to some shops.

The specification sounds great for such a small device!

I'm not shure whats the advantage of the Universal.

Only UMTS and a slightly bigger screen? UMTS only ruins my runtime... :cry:

What do you think?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xiasma:
The VGA screen is 99% why I'll get a Universal. If the wizard offered that, I'd probably buy one of them instead. As it is, my options are VGA PPC + phone or Universal.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rilot:
Same here. If the Wizard had a VGA screen I would have bought one of them instead of the Universal.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] saldous:
Why does everyone want a VGA screen? Surely all you use it for is a phone and email?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] MBastian:
I was deeply impressed by the screen of the Universal.

I often have to use the terminal client to login to windows server. The VGA-Screen is a big helper. (Maybe sometimes a very smart person allows terminal client to run full screen)

But I'm not shure if the screen is a sufficient advantage to the wizzard. The Wizzard may "canabilize" all Universal efforts...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xiasma:
I need to use the web more than I'd like on my XDA and QVGA is a real pain. Mostly, though, I need to run some bespoke software that really doesn't work too well in QVGA - VGA will make a world of difference. Also, when I need to use remote desktop, it will actually be usable!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Wiz:
IMHO the Wizard and Universal serve different purposes. 3G beats the hell out of GPRS and the keyboard of the Universal is stellar compared to the Wizard one. And I haven't even mentioned the difference between 3.6" and 2.8" screen. Almost a full inch across. For server management and maintenance, I would never buy the Wizard. For me the wizard would be to take to the pub or the sporting club when I do not need the full features that he Universal offers me. (so stop comparing apples to pears ;-))
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] saldous:
Ah I see, so is the market for this more aimed at IT Pros than the general consumer?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Sounds about right, saldous. Top-end power users (like IT professionals), or just plain old show off's!!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chabby:
Picked up the G2 on AT&t on Friday, but I'm thinking about returning it and waiting for the Note III.

I've already rooted the phone using the method on this forum...do I need to unroot before returning it?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoff5093:
It's probably worth it, shouldn't restoring factory defaults clear root?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chabby:
I just restored factory defaults. How do I tell if the phone is no longer rooted?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imstill@g:
Download mode
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznmode:
If you rooted and have chainfire superuser, it has an option to unroot. After that just delete superuser. If the phone keeps binary count, use Triangle away to reset the binary before you unroot.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheapshot789:
Why r u returning it and waiting for N3 just wondering cuz I have ordered the G2 and it hasn't shipped yet and I'm constantly thinking about N3. I really don't want to over kill it and order both...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoff5093:
Stick with the G2, it's a better phone IMO :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friguy3:
I had thought about the N3 too, but the G2 is JUST small enough for me to be one handed...the N3 is gonna be a 2 hander which would just annoy me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nycebo:
Hey there, I followed efrant's excellent thread (sticked) for returning my 2 year old SGN back to stock after enjoying rooted and unlocked CM10. Upon switching to my new phone (a Nexus 4) and configuring it, I decided to check Android Device Manager to ensure that Locate, Ring and Erase functioned properly. Much to my surprise, the Galaxy Nexus is still listed as one of my devices. Moreover, I can't find a way to remove it from my account. Even from within Google Play, it only offers the option to 'hide' the extraneous devices. On an aside, I've read that old devices will be purged from the account if they haven't been used for 9-12 months (reports vary).

Anyway, do I have anything to worry about as I move forward with the N4? The reason I ask is that I'd like to sell my SGN but don't want to have vestigial connections to my account when I do.

Thanks.
[Xperia Play General] masteril:
My girlfriend get back from work and "i have jb update yeaey" and i dont have any words lol she have also galaxy 4 but that was sayed to only make me mad so Just wanna share my sadness and anger as well on sony ones again!"thank you" again sony! I am personally hate you for dump our best gaming phone to the trash!
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
The phone was not dumped for the heck of it. Sony dumped it as majority of the games designed for it wouldn't work well on the play. Plus ICS was a ram hog. Thus games ran poorly or were not updated by the devs to run better.

Plus our play is two and a half years old. No phone manufacturer is going to spend the resources to update a phone most people would have upgraded from.
[Xperia Play General] fliperpl:
But you see how Xperia J works with JB? Lags,lags everywhere
[Xperia Play General] wedgess:
There has been many discussions about this device not getting Jellybean all the way back to when Jellybean was first released even ICS. The simple matter of the fact is this device will never get official ICS or JB. There is plenty of information online as to why. These threads usually become off Topic threads flaming the manufacturer, so for this reason..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] alus415:
Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help me determine if I have a defective phone or no. Basically what happens is that when I receive a call and I bring my phone to my ear the screen turns off (as it should ) but when I move the phone away from my ear the screen stays off and I have to press the power to bring it back on. Mind you this started happening 2-3 weeks ago, before it was fine bring phone to face/ear screen turns off , move it away from face the screen would turn back on.

Now logically it seems the proximity sensor might be having issues but it works fine when i bring it to my ear so maybe that's not it?

This is quite annoying whenever I'm on a call and have to press numbers, end calls, go back to what i was doing I have to continuously press the power button. I googled these issue and a few people are reporting the same thing. but i didn't see any solutions or answers.

Thanks for any help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Michael3214:
Ive had the same thing happen. Go to Settings > My device > Call Settings. Look to see if the option to "turn off screen during call" is enabled/disabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] soraxd:
I feel like you have a a custom rom, or maybe just rooted with some cpu clocking going on. whats usually going on is your phone is going into a deep sleep where it's energy is to low to even force itself to wake up.. but it's still alive not dead, just unresponsive (I feel like I'm talking about malnourished human beings). don't let your phone get too weak, set your minimum cpu speed a little higher than what it is now, and make sure it gets more complex carbs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] alus415:
I have not changed anything on the phone, it's stock and simply have accepted the carrier's OTA updates and that's it.

And also I should have mentioned that I did check the call settings, I have the "turn off screen during call " enabled, before posting here I had that option disabled but then the screen would stay on during a call, which is worse cause then the phone gets hot near your face and don't want a bright light next to me.

Also I did a hard reset and factory wipe and nada, still doing the same thing .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] o2voeck:
same

I have the exact problem with my s4. I will post any findings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] o2voeck:
Got It

For me, it was dust inside the phone in front of the sensor.

How to fix

1) Remove back of phone along with the battery and GSM and SD cards.

2) Remove 4 screws around the back of the speaker. Then pry out ward from the battery compartment and pop out the speaker housing.

3) Remove 5 screws from the rest of the back. Use your thumb nail and start at the bottom and work around the phone to pry appart.

4) Remove 1 screw from the camera and sensor housing. Pry the metal cover off by starting at the top and pry upward.

5) Take the camera out by on snapping the bottom snap plug with a flat head tweaker. Then remove front facing camera.

6) Lastly take out the sensor snap plug and tilt the sensor out. Blow air inside the housing .

7) reassemble.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crypt0kiddie:
Phone: AT&T I747 GS3.

Rom: Stock 4.1.1, Rooted with stock kernel

Addons and extra's: I de-bloated the phone with mrRobinson's Ashaman v2.30 de-bloating, installed the 23 toggle mod, tether mod and installed Apex Launcher Pro for a more standard pure JB look.

As far as running Apex Launcher but I doesn't seem to matter if it's that the stock TW launcher, I get no live wallpaper menu if I long press the home screen. I've tried both ways.

So what I've got going on is that I don't have the option to set the standard live wallpapers via long pressing the home screen. Doesn't matter if I long press or go into system and access wallpaper threw there.

How I noticed was I bought the 3d Parallax live wallpaper and I can't set it via the live wallpaper manager thingy you get if you long press the home screen. All I get for a wallpaper selection is the normal "wallpapers" my 3 galleries from my camera's I have installed and the Apex Wallpaper tool, no "Live Wallpaper" menu.

Now if it's a live wallpaper I can access THREW my apps drawer, I can use it but if it's one that relies on me being able to set it from the long press option or the system option, they don't display, I can't see them because the standard live wallpaper selection menu isn't there in my ROM.

Thoughts? I know it's something I did, I just don't know what.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DMF1977:
Probably erased the live wallpaper picker...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SyberB:
When opening a program from within another program I have to set the default action every time. Even when I select "akways" for the action. Usually the defaults are persistent as long as I dont leave the program like when downloading files. But if I leave the program and come back to it I have to select default settings all over again.

I have had this issue since flashing newest shostock rom. I've posted in his thread but nobody seems to know what governs this problem. If anyone has anything that might help I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Skywalker.00:
Just a general question here.

I know how to flash, the steps to take and the precautions to follow So I'm not asking for a tutorial or anything.

With the new 4.3 builds rolling out in droves I plan to do A LOT of flashing over the next week or so (I've flashed eighteen times since I started this thread)

So my question is, aside from something going wrong on my end and f***ing my phone up, can repeatedly flashing ROMs damage my phone, even when taking the necessary precautions?

Note: Before flashing I ALWAYS factory data reset, wipe partition cache, wipe dalvik, format system and run Blackhole just to be on the safe side.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] shaikmonster:
The technical answer is "yes." There is a theoretical limit on how much the phone can handle. The realistic answer is "no," because you will never get to that point.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] FroBreadCreamJellyPie:
Someone, somewhere, far far away made the silly mistake of saying "a phone can only handle X amount of flashes". Unfortunately, that person was never seen again. Basically, I agree with shaikmonster, lol.

While it was updating to amber my PC freezed and after that, phone seems to be dead. Screen won't turn on, in my computer it is shown as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. I've tried to recover it via nokia care suite, but it failed on step "Hold the Volume Down and the Power button, click RETRY on the Product Support Tools Window".

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheddarhead86:
Alrighty then. I had some issues with this phone, its a few years old but I just took it out of the box for my daughter a couple months ago. There was some problems with running out of memory, so I was going to do a hard reset and clean the thing up. BTW I had rooted it and used and uninstaller off play store to get rid of the crap verizon apps. Just the junk ones I deleted, like navigator, and kindle etc... nothing OS related I thought. At any rate, when I went to do the factory reset, it goes through the motions, gets to the congratulations your device is ready to use click next, after I hit next I get an error that setup.android has unexpectedly stopped please try again. The phone seems to boot, but there is no home screen. No way to access anything to see whats going on. Just the status bar on top. I've tried everything I can think of. ANy ideas?? Thanks:eek:
