[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] cnmsales:
Greetings. My buddy tried to root his phone last night, and did so, but failed to unlock the boot loader. Today he tried to flash TWRP and now is stock on the downloading screen pre boot.

I have found the instructions for flashing the stock rom via odin, but need to verify what version of the software i need to get for his phone. Unfourtunately I cant get into ABOUT on his phone but via the sticker his model is SGH-I337. His wife purchased her s4 the exact same time together with him. I had her check build info and it was JDQ39.I337UCUAM53.

Can someone point me to a place to get the correct rom to flash via Odin to fix his device? Once I have it back up for him I will worry about getting it completely unlocked, if possible.

As always, thank you in advance for any help provided.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Pretty sure the build number you posted ends in mf3. There is no odin flashable firmware. Your best bet is to take it to best buy which had a Samsung experience. They can flash the firmware there. But you'll have to all real nicely. You can get the phone to boot by canceling the download mode, vol down, when it boots to that.

Edit you ready need to read a lot more before you do anything with his phone. There is no unlocked boot loader and you can't flash roms like you may be used to with an unlocked boot loader.

This helped me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rayburne:
Are you sure the firmware version is JDQ39.I337UCUAM53, or is it JDQ39.I337UCUAMF3.

Not possible to unlock the MF3 bootloader yet so if you flashed TWRP you likely need to go to Best Buy to get the phone fixed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] cnmsales:
From what im reading shouldn't we be able to flash the stock rom again via Odin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
There is no odin flashable firmware available. I should add for a device on mf3. You can't flash an earlier version either
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] cnmsales:
Thanks for the info.

As I said, my buddy did this, im just trying to fix it.

FYI. I did the VLM down and we are not booted into the phone, thanks for that!!!!

Phone is MF3. So is TWRP installed? Is the recovery good now? Is there anything else I need to do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Twrp is not installed. Trying to install it is what borked the recovery. You can't install a custom recovery on mf3 firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rayburne:
The boot loader is locked so you can't install or boot to a secondary recovery on MF3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] cnmsales:
Right, but wanted to make sure the boot loader on it isnt messed up now.

Thanks for the quick response!

Were you able to get it to a samsung experience shop?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
It would be better to get your "buddy" to do a little reading instead of asking questions on his behalf. Is there a reason you are asking these questions and your buddy isn't responding himself? Well, you can tell your buddy it would be good to read the "pinned" threads in the General and Q & A sections. There is a lot of information and links in those threads that will help your buddy to learn about the phone and what he is doing to it before it becomes a brick. Good luck to your buddy.

[General Questions and Answers] Smargaz:
I accidentaly dropped my phone in the pool. I tried turnung it on without drying the phone first and only put it in rice after that.

Now, when i try to boot the phone it shuts down after it checks the network saying it has low battery. Also, if i try to plug the charger it shows me the high/low temperature level symbol.

I managed to enter the stock recovery menu using the hardware keys and wiped all the data.

However if i enter the fastboot mode using the hardware keys it doesn't shut down.

Is my phone still okay or is there any way to fix it?

The phone is an Acer s500 Cloudmobile.
[General Questions and Answers] immortalneo:
Make sure its completely dry (mine took a whole week of drying). Try a new battery also. Check the USB connectors and other ports to see if there are any dirt or accumulations present. :)

I Recently bought my Xperia L, and, for now, I do not see the need to use a custom ROM or another kernel, than Stock. However, there is a feature in the Xperia L Clean 'n' Tweaked ROM I would love to have in my stock ROM! (Stock Rom with Stock Kernel, but with unlocked bootloader, deodexed rom and rooted phone).

- Docomo Status Bar (SystemUI) with integrated Honami ToolSettings (toggles all working) -> Link from Xperia Z forum DoCoMo Status Bar v8 & Task Switcher

I've searched in the Themes and Apps session on the Xperia L subforum, but, didn't find nothing! (Sorry if I've missed)

I appreciate if someone can help.

Thank's in advance

Just take a look at Clean 'n' Tweaked rom thread, and read its features!

Yeah...i saw all the features there, and more's coming! Great job there serarj

But! I just don't want to get the same way that I've had with my last Xperia (Neo V). Getting updates almost every week, and sometimes...full wipe needed!

I just want to chill now! My Xperia L has "almost" all the things I want, except that StatusBar!

Thanks anyway.

Are you talking about ram?

If yes, maybe 2.3-2.5...

For example, HTC One have 2 GB of ram, but you can use 1.5.

So, we have to see when the tablet is released :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Bulbous:
The purpose of having RAM in your phone/computer etc is to increase performance. You don't increase the performance by leaving the ram free. You use it.

Free RAM is wasted RAM
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] madsquabbles:
i think most people here should understand that if you're not using your ram then it's wasted. but i think he wants to know how much is available to apps after the gpu and system take their share.

someone posted a screenshot in one of the threads and i thought it was somewhere around 2.3GB.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Guich:
Good, 2.3 GB :)

However, you're right.

People didn't understand that ram will be full..

[Dell Streak 7] gomergg:
Hello everyone,

I have a question, and possibly an answer to that question with regards to my Dell Streak 7.

At present I am running AOKP 4.2 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2413390) on my dell streak 7, this followed from an upgrade to CM10.1 where some performance problems have since been resolved (AOKP 4.2, Op Killjoy, memory manager, greenify). However there has been one downside to this upgrade. I have a WIFI only Dell streak 7. CM 10.1 was available in a WIFI only version which allowed for control of media\system volume through the hardware buttons. AOKP 4.2 was only available in a 3g package and subsequently the hardware volume buttons are now linked to ringer volume which serves no purpose. Following a search for solutions I came up with this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2049052) while this thread discusses unlinking system and ringer volume I feel that I could use this technique in an equal and opposite way to link the media volume to the ringer volume to regain control of the hardware buttons, is this a viable option? I think so but I'd like to verify. Unless of course there is a way to outright relink the hardware buttons to to just media\system volume, or if it would be easier to rebuild AOKP 4.2 to a WIFI Only version. Did attempt using the buttonremapper.apk available here to no avail.

Only other problem I am having is the headphone port isn't working which is rather unfortunate, but I think that has to do with the sensors not working yet in these builds, from what I have found there isn't a solution available yet, unless I am mistaken?

I really appreciate the help, thank you.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Sensors work, if you flash the update from the correct thread.

Headphones worked for me.

Sometime soon, I plan on writing up a a streak7-common and then splitting into a streak7-4g and streak7-wifi
[Dell Streak 7] gomergg:
Alright, perhaps I fiddled up something with the sound settings, I'll investigate, everything flashed correctly. And with respect to sensors I should have clarified, rotation, and all other sensors work, just not headphone sensing or headphone output. I'll update later if I make any progress. Would really appreciate a streak-7-wifi build, you've done some fantastic work with the present build, best the tablet has ever ran. Thank you Giveen.

EDIT: Ok, so the sensors all work, media programs pause when removing headphones from the headphone port, however all audio still plays through the primary speakers. And still working on the volume linking.
[Dell Streak 7] gomergg:
Bizarre behavior

- - UPDATE - -

Followed abex181 guide for unlinking (or linking rather, binding ring\media\system volume)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2049052

Pushed the framework.jar back to tablet using technique provided by jivy26

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1296802

Rebooted....

Android optimized itself...

And it worked, I have regained control of the hardware buttons for changing volume before opening a program. It should be noted it previously and currently operates that once opening an app hardware buttons control media instead of phone volume, icon changes.

What is weirder? I plug in the headphones (guess its considered a headset rather, headphones that came with the tablet) and they worked.

That was until I unplugged them. I plug them back in again and its back to speaker only.

I tried pushing framework.jar again and rebooted, this time it didn't optimize, and the headphones still don't work again.

I'm scratching my head here.
[Dell Streak 7] gomergg:
All is one

SOLVED:

Got headphone port to work properly.

It was the 'headset' that came with the tablet causing the problems, what I originally referred to as my 'headphones', they didn't work and after attempting to use them it threw the tablet into a mode...

.. a mood? ... :p

which would fail to recognize any other connector ie. the normal 3 ring 3.5mm jack (opposed to the 4 ring 3.5mm jack of the headset).

Today tried rebooting with my other headphones connected, works, disconnected and reconnected, works, disconnected put to sleep, woken up and reconnected, all works, mystery solved. Unfortunate though, I did really like that headset that came with it. Oh well, while less convenient my Sennheiser HD's fit the bill just fine :D

Still enjoying the linking I worked out. Though I do think there is a better way but its beyond my ability, I think it would be better to just link the hardware buttons directly the media\system volume instead of linking the ringer volume to the media\system. I would believe that however minor the streak is wasting precious cycles switching between ringer and media when launching applications for having just a streak-7-wifi.

Anyway, cheers! Thanks again giveen, abex181, and jivy26.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
Hi all, first time asking a question on Nexus 4 :)

Days ago I decided to upgrade CM10.2 from an earlier nightly (build number JSS15Q) to a newer one (JLS36C), so I dirty flashed and everything seemed fine at first, but:

1) When I connect my N4 to the PC, it links up in MTD mode, I can read, copy, rename and delete contents from it, but I just can't put anything into it. It says something like "device is offline or has stopped responding". I thought it was a random issue so I ignored it.

2) One day later, a nightly with build number JLS36G dropped, and I want to back up my data with Titanium Backup before I do a clean flash. I knew previously that to use TiBu on 4.3, the backup folder has to be manually changed, and this worked for me before. This time, however, even after changing folders, TiBu still reported "insufficient backup space" no matter what I do.

3) Yesterday I wanted to upgrade some softwares on the phone, but many installs fail with "out of space" alert, while I confirmed that I have plenty (5GB+) internal storage left.

4) And today I am using Root Explorer to manage files. I just want to move a file to another folder. I created the folder with success, but pasting operation failed, still because of "not enough space". The same happens for CM's File Manager.

Now I'm out of ideas. The best bet is to start over from a clean flash, but since TiBu is unusable, I will lose all my SMS/call log, which I can't swallow. I'd be very grateful if anyone can tell me what's behind all these issues, or/and can teach me how to back up SMS/call log with a file manager. Thanks in advance :)

***EDIT***: I figured out how to manually backup/restore my SMS/call log, and went on to do a clean install, but even after a clean install, Root Explorer still reports insufficient free space. I can install softwares normally, though.

I have ~3GB of (unsynced, of course - I'm in China) music and some precious data I don't wanna lose, and at this size I couldn't back them up on the clouds. :( What to do now?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zachlevi:
Refer to the title , is xperia z ultra is a good phone or should i go for another phone...??? :confused::confused::confused:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I own it, so it's hard to be objective, so:

The Ultra is an absolutely fantastic device, and i love it. The only thing you should ask yourself is: "Do i want or need a big device?". The size is the only detail that you should be 100% sure of. The screen is fantastic, battery is very good, performance is as you should expect - top notch. Build quality is A+. It's the perfect device for nerds, but this is not the device for most people. It's a niche device that's doing everything right.

Check it out in a store if you have the chance, and if its size doesn't scare you; get it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Well...LordManhattan said it all. One more thing I can add to this is:

Do you love when people stare at you and perhaps comes up to you and start talking? Because they will! ..this phone is like a big fat magnet :laugh::cool:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
Short answer is yes...

Long answer is yes get it now...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baz77:
But no flash, 4 hours screen on time

Other hand you can shower and swim in shallow waters with this one.

Other hand 4hours and no exchangable battery.

Other Sony is good to devs

Other hand charges fast

Otherhand its so fast

Its the missing flash and batterylife thats witholding me.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Missing the battery life? Have you read the battery thread? I, and everybody else are constantly getting 5+ hours of screen time and 20+ hours uptime on every charge.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Yeah like Lord says.

-I get pretty good battery life. I use my device constantly. 10 hours with massive usage.

I did a test and got just on 6 hours with a 6Gb, 1080p movie loop. (brightness at max. all hardware on)

-flash isn't a major factor. Looking back to my Galaxy S4, I only took 6-10 images with my S4 at night, and ended up deleting those images as they were pretty average. So I have yet to see a smartphone take good night images.

I thought the lack of a flash would be a killer for me... but actually I don't miss it.

** On another note... make sure that you don't get 'soap' or 'salt' on your speaker or mic. It will eat away that semi-permeable membrane, allowing water to get in, which will then wreck your device. **

## another note...

Ive been looking into the CPU frequency uptime... and there are some numbers that don't add up.

300

422

960

1190

1728

2150

These are the only Mhz values I have achieved. Now I do think its important to utalise that 2.2ghz processor, however it uses this value the most. 30% of the time I'm using 2150 mhz (obviously unless its asleep) This will be a major factor of battery drain. Now unless someone can create a custom kernel that will address this, we wont see any better battery life improvement in ROM's, and this may be at the expense of the smoothness of this device... tough call!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baz77:
Could be governator,

I agree, I thought 4h was like the average. 6H actually is interesting. Fast charge also right?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Hey! Didn't notice it was you! What are you doing here? :D The battery really surprised me too! It takes around 2 hours to charge it (according to my brain at least).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] capitansid:
Root it, get a cpu manager and change the max freq to anything lower...

I plan to install antutu cpu master on my (yet to be mine) XZU and set a profile so that its max freq when screen off is around 300..

I was able to hit 4days uptime on an old xperia x10 with normal use just by doing that.. ;)

Hope it will behave the same on this unit.. :D

"Sent from my refrigerator"
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Yeah under 2 hours charges it. (AC)

Takes about 4/5 hours with USB... but we all know why.

Yes I did use setCPU, and betterbattery stats to monitor any wakelocks. No wakelocks, runs well. And setCPU does enable a lower peak frequency. However it also creates a bit of lag, so there's that.

2200 mhz isn't achievable. (without overclock) Would have been cool if Sony went for the 2.3Ghz/ more expensive processor... but 100mhz isn't a big deal i guess
