[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Holland1994D:
Hi Guys,

recently I tried to change ROMS, (VJ 6.1 to Chromium). That went well, but I decided that Chromium wasn't so smooth afterall, so I wanted to return. Then everything became wrong, because I couldn't mount my sd card. After numerous attemps, I finally could, (format/adb fastboot ....). Then I went back to stock RUU.

I'm still S-0FF and my Hboot is the data++, but I can't change that. Neither via Android flasher or the PBIMG99, it just says successful, but when I look in the boatloader nothing has changed yet.

Well that being impossible, I tried to root it. Now I got the famous validation error backup cid, with Revoked. (3.21 & 3.32). All my attemps are effortless, is there a way to get root access?

I don't really have to change my hboot, but it is really annoying when I can't root anymore, because of the cid.

My device is not simlocked,

I'm now on the default EU RUU android 2.1.

So where to start or?

Hello i bought a couple of day ago a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 from France.

I'm from Greece so i thought it would be good to install the greek firmware...

Now i try to restore to the french firmware but with no luck. Neither Kies nor odin works...

With kies i tried Factory restore and initialiazation but it didn't work.

And odin keeps giving me an "AUTH error".

But everytime odin soft bricks my phone(trying to install the french version), it installs the greek like a charm.

Could anyone please help me?

PS: 1) French firmware (I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_I9505XXUBMGA_HOME.tar)

2) Greek Firmware (I9505XXUDMH6_I9505OXXDMH4_I9505XXUDMH6_HOME.tar)

3) my phone is factory unlocked
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inso420:
The Greek firmware is newer than the french and you cant flash back to older firmware on the S4 only to newer.

Btw why do you want to go back to the french? Im asking because i have the German one and was thinking of flashing the Greek. Is the Greek not working well?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] difyel:
you cannot downgrade as mga firmware is knox free and mh6 firmware contains knox you need to flash a newer french firmware .

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sotos_2002:
So i have to wait until 4.3 to flash to french firmware?

Isn't there any way to downgrade?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] difyel:
i actually read someplace that any firmware starting with mgg or newer could be flashed over a knox firmware . so you could flash a french firmware ending with mgg or mh1 or mh5 . an mh8 will work for sure.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SergSlim:
Hello.

I have a i9100 smartphone with stock XWLSW firmware. After last change of firmware I did not even root it. So it was all stock without root.

My battery was already in bad condition - from 9 AM till 2-4 PM it gets to 15%.

But anyway.

Yesterday it discharged to 1%, when I plugged charger into the phone. I left it working, and after a while I tried to turn the screen on, but the phone was not responding to power key. It was not turning on the screen, and long hold did not turn the phone on.

I unplugged the charger, took out battery and saw a small wet spot on sticker and on battery (maybe it leaked a bit).

Well, it was not the first priority at the moment, so I just wiped it, and put the battery back, then I turned the phone back ON.

It started, but now I have a boot loop at Samsung Logo. When the battery was still discharged I could hear the discharge signal after logo, and then the logo starts again, and discharge signal again, etc.

I left it in that state for a night with charger plugged in. In the morning - it was in the same condition.

Things I tried:

Removing battery for over 10 minutes, clearing Cache from recovery.

Both recovery and download modes are working.

So the question is - can I restore the phone without Factory reset?

If not - can I somehow backup my data (savegames, etc) before doing factory reset?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SergSlim:
I just tried to update the firmware again using ODIN with no luck. It updated successfully, but than again hangs on Samsung Logo.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GamingDj:
Rule 1: Don't complain until you haven't tried factory reset.So be a man,and do a full wipe.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
^^^^

What he said. Also, flash a 3 part firmware, which will also wipe your phone & has a funny habit of fixing situations like this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SergSlim:
I was going to do a Factory Reset or flash 3 part firmware, but only after I backup data. That was my main point of creating this thread - how to backup data in this situation.

Anyway, I did install Philz kernel, wiped dalvik cache, cache partition - it helped, but not for long. I saw my desktop, but after few seconds it went into boot loop again. I then did a Custom backup of data only, and did a Factory Reset through recovery.

Now I try to restore data to see what it will give me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiltev:
So i have been having pretty much the same problem with some little differences.

First my battery seems OK, no leaking no nothing, but it might just got old as I've got the phone for over 2 years now... Second, my bootloop occurs after full discharge, when i try to turn on the phone afterwards it just gets stuck on Galaxy SII logo, not even the boot, and stays that way no matter how long i wait. Third, at about the last 5-8% my screen starts flickering as if it wasn't getting enough electricity which shouldnt happen too and never happend before 4 months or so.

So lastly I've been getting this bootloop every now and then. Ive got a temporary fix by backing up my phone through recovery then wiping it clean and then restoring. But i just cant figure out why it does that.... I mean wipe helps, but i do restore everything afterwards....

Without restoring the problem still occurs so its not like i restore something deffective in the sw that makes this happen...

Any help would be appreciated
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] educk:
Hello everyone!

Together with @h0rn3t we bring you Dual Boot Support for our beloved GT-I9001.

Let's get started :)

Requirements:

Root

Busybox

CM or other AOSP like ROM based on 2.3.6+

Minimum ~350MB internal storage free space

External SD (min 4GB, the higher class, the better)

Description:

The process is fairly simple. The application will format your external-sd (we recommend to back up your personal data), then create 3 partitions as follows:

/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 -> storage (formatted VFAT)

/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 -> /system (formatted EXT4)

/dev/block/mmcblk1p3 -> /data (formatted EXT4)

After that you'll be given the possibility to flash a secondary ROM on your EXT-SD (currently only 4.1.2+ ROM's are supported as secondary and 2.3.6+ as primary).

At last, you'll be able to switch between ROM's within the app.

Process:

WARNING: Partitioning and flashing operations could take up to 5 minutes each to complete !

Download the app and kernel pack from the Downloads section

If you want the app to be automatically installed on the secondary ROM, push the app to /system/app and give proper permissions (rw-r-r or 644). Otherwise, just install it normally.

Backup your personal data from the external sd card.

Run the app and partition your external-sd.

In app, choose flashing then choose your preferred secondary ROM from your internal SD card (must be 4.1.2 or higher).

Your phone will reboot into recovery and automatically flash the secondary ROM. (in CWM, if you get "Signature Verification Failed", continue flashing, it is normal)

After the flashing process is done, you'll be redirected to your primary ROM.

On your internal SD-Card, you'll have a folder called DualBootSplus, open it up.

Copy the kernels from the kernels pack into their appropriate subfolder. (eg CM-10 kernel (boot2.img) goes into 4.1.2 subfolder -> you'll have to create the subfolder if it doesn't exit)

Now you can switch between ROM's or flash secondary gapps within the app.

Additional details:

The kernel pack contains 2 kernel types for each ROM, Stock and OPT. OPT means that is has all the features from Phenom Kernel.

You must put only 1 boot2.img type (stock or OPT) in the DualBootSplus subfolders.

The app has integrated the 4.2.2 OPT kernel so you only need to put the stock boot2.img on your 4.2.2 subfolder. (if you want stock kernel).

The kernel will determinate which ROM will be booted. So, if you have a primary and secondary ROM, you can quickly switch between them within the app (make sure you have the kernels in the SD-Card subfolders), or manually by flashing the correspondent kernel.

The boot2.img can be flashed separately in ADB.

Special thanks goes to @Christopher83 for his kernel sources.

1. On your internal sd create a folder DualBootSplus (if it doesnt exist)

2. In this folder create another folder named 4.3 (if you intent to use a 4.3 as secondary rom)

3. Extract from DualBoot_KernelPack.zip the file DualBoot_Kernel_CM10.2_OPT.zip then extract boot2.img and save it to /sdcard/DualBootSplus/4.3

4. At the end you should have /sdcard/DualBootSplus/4.3/boot2.img
