[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cmac0351:
My wife's phone will no longer charge or connect to a PC with any USB cord. If I kind of wiggle or bend the cord where it connects to the phone, the phone will charge for a brief moment or connect to the PC.

Is there anything I can try other than replacing the charging port? I don't think I quite have the soldering skills for that.

If I have to replace the motherboard, is the internal storage located on the motherboard?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FCORivers:
Replacing the charging port is pretty cheap and is probably the answer to that.

My settings are exactly the same and I also see a similar pattern...I have 100 mb usage in a week..simply unbelievable!

Did research on the net, but most solutions are already reflected in the settings

However, I think droidwall is helping a bit...I have turned off data usage for Google system, services, search and some other apps and I see data something in the range of 35 -40 mb now.. still high though

banging my head against the wall here , wasted 2 days reflashing phone

I followed all the guides and searched high and low for a solution to get CWM on my tmobile blaze 4g

I have stock GB , 2.3.6 on my phone

was able to root and have superuser installed

anytime i flash CWM via odin , it says successful and when I try to take out the batt , hold vol up/down and power , i still get the default stock recovery over and over and over again .... about to throw this phone in the garbage

I flashed it the same way it says in instructions , place the cwm file in the pda section , make sure partition isn't selected then hit start

FYI

no i dont have kies running in background , or any other program that would interefere with pc odin

I would seriously appreciate any help

PS. am I trying to get to CWM the wrong way , or ist he default to getting to CWM is holding power/ volume up and down , then inserting battery while usb is connected
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
That's how to get into download mode...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ungraph:
If you just got it then I'm going to assume you don't have any important data!

Flash a stock rom with root injected! It's literally a stock touchwiz 4.1.2 rom with superSU. It always doesn't mess up your counter and you can get official OTAs from T-mobile.

The link is here.

KINGO Android Root

I just found an app that supposedly will ROOT any Android phone. It is called KINGO Android Root.

FYI - Just completed my Root and it took ~ 3 minutes. I know it is rooted since I can now use Titanium Backup Pro.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 92drls:
I flashed a new kernel to test and didn't like it, so I reflashed the ROM to get the stock kernel back and all hell broke loose. I lost root access and cant flash anything. I used Odin, re rooted and am on stock rooted 4.2. I've tried both TWRP and CWM to flash a ROM and from 2 different SD cards or restore my backup and it either says bad ROM or MD5 mismatch.

What am I missing here? In the meantime I'm just stock rooted with no mods, only restored user apps through Titanium.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Check to make sure your usb cable is good. Many a time it is tthe usb cable which is bad.

Check to make sure the md5 checksum matches between the file you downloaded and the download itself.. From your device, use md5 checker.

From your pc, there is a similar program to do so.

The ROM has the Kernel cooked into it.

Read the ROM op to make sure.

If you dl a new Kernel file, always check the md5, in addition to inquiring if it's compatible with the ROM.

Always have the Kernel that was working saved somewhere so you can reflash it if necessary.

Always have a Nandroid Backup just in case.

When things don't play nice, always try going into Recovery and wiping

Cache & dalvik cache, and reboot.

Your initial is was:

A Kernel that didn't play nice with the ROM

or a corrupt dl

etc.

Your 2nd issue is most likely related to:

Bad usb cable or

Md5 mismatch, which can be because of a bad dl or a bad usb cabl.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: stock firmware

You need to start from scratch, put your phone into DOWLOAD mode and ODIN flash the stock M919 Samsung Galaxy S4 firmware.

(TAR file)

Here is the link to the official stock tmobile m919 firmware for your samsung galaxy s4 phone: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/213469534/9ff06bd/M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB.zip.html

Once you do this you can root the phone if you like or leave it stock.

Good luck!

While in download mode it says write protection enabled, is this normal? It also says this while I try to delete any files via USB. This is screwy.

Hi,

Total noob here. Just came from Blackberry 2 days ago and my head is about to explode with all i have learned about rooting, bootloaders etc.

I Got a Galaxy S4-VRUAME7. Rooted it last night.

I am trying to find an app that will allow me to control permissions given to installed apps.

I have tried a few out with not so great results.

LBE reboots my phone (known problem with Jelly-bean)

and a few others i tried that froze (cant remember which)

Is the best option to use a translated chinese version of LBE? like this?

And if so then do i need to install from my desktop following instructions such as these

or is this a better route:

PDroid Privacy Protection which needs a patch. What would I need to know about using this one with my rooted droid?

or....?

Thanks for any suggestions/guidance.

From here do I just click on the "....latest.apk" link and it installs?

Do I need to install any other patches? What are the chances of getting into a "boot loop" as i did with LBE ?

I would like to help out however possible so I would buy whatever I can to support this developer. In this case would i install the "XPrivacy Pro enabler" and then also get Xprivacy Pro ? or are they the same thing.

I got XPrivacy Pro Installed and working ! Now i can install worthless aps like facebook on my phone and limit the permissions.

I thought when I left Blackberry 3 days ago that i was done monkeying around to get stuff onto my phone! I was wrong.

If I had posting rights (i think i need to do 10 posts before I can hyperlink) I would write up a description of all it took to do the install. Definitely not easy for a noob to do. The installation consisted of multiple parts/components and instructions were not clear to a noob like me and they were not all on one page.

But it was all a good learning experience which will help with my next hackadroid venture.

You CAN install N900T ROMs on a N900W8 device without anything added/extra patches.

You CAN install N9005 ROMs on an N900W8 device, however you will need an N900T kernel with the N900W8 patch.

You CAN install essentially ALL S5 ported ROMs on your N900W8, however there may be problems with NFC. Easily fixable by the dev.

You CANNOT install SM-N900, SM-N900A, SM-N900V, SM-N900S, SM-N9006, SM-N9007, SM-N9008 ROMs on your device.

9005 on 900W8

Hi,

I flashed a SM-N9005 pre-rooted rom on my Mexican Telcel SM-N900W8 and everything was working fine, except WIFI, it was stuck on turning on so I had to go back to stock (the problem here is that stock rom is hard locked to telcel). So maybe flashing N900W8 modem or kernel after N9005 rom will make everything work fine no?

Excuse my bad english.

The people could be right in some sense. As some say that there is a lock between region on first activation.

Also, in the N7100 days, to port it over to the N7105, there would be files needed to be deleted/added from the N7105 file/N7100 file.

I really think starting a new section for N900W8 is necessary. But i guess we need to wait and see if dev rom get working even is N9005. If N900A, N900T both rom does not work in N900W8, at that point, the xda team will add the new section.

Okay, well first off, posts like this one aren't really looked upon as proper. Basically, you've posted something in a thread that has nothing to do with the topic of this thread. In XDA, that's definitely a no no. You're expected to stay on topic. There are general threads where you can even post rants and off topic thoughts. This definitely isn't one of those threads.

I see that you're fairly new so perhaps you haven't had a chance to familiarize yourself with the rules of XDA?
