[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jazz Like That:
This S4 belongs to my friend.

He rooted the mobile some days back.

Day before yesterday he tried to update it using Samsung Kies but the process was interrupted in the middle. He couldn't do the emergency firmware recovery and then he brought it to me.

So, the phone is not booting now.

I went to cyanogenmod site and started following the instructions to install it but I couldn't get past the heimdall step. I used three versions (1.31, 1.4RC1, 1.4RC2) but all three were struck at that step. Searching didn't help me here.

Then I downloaded an official firmware and opened odin 3.07 but odin too is not recognizing it in download mode.

The computer is making sound when connected but odin is not recognising it.

Used 2 systems. One with windows 8 and other with windows 7.

Also tried with different USB cables.

Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling kies. (Killed all the kies process before starting the above steps).

Am going mad for the past two days.

Any solutions?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paras:
Is the phone charged enough? Hmmm also when he was rooted why did he try to update via kies?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jazz Like That:
Yup. The phone is charged.

Well. He didn't know that we should not update it via kies after we root it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ieAnd:
Curiosity poll. Also to help me choose my next ROM, since official 4.3 is near.

For all y'all fun people using a Note II-- have you gotten the best mileage out of an AOSP ROM (CM, AOKP, AOSPA etc.), a modified Stock ROM (Jelly'Beans', etc.) or just plain old Samsung 4.1.2? I put AOSPA on my Note II as soon as I got it and have stuck with it mostly, but the prevalence of stock-based ROMs means there must be a point. Does TouchWiz actually bring anything to the table?

Interested to see what anyone says. Thanks!

I recently went back from liquid smooth to stock rom for my s4 and now my custom recovery TWRP won't open if I manually try it it will show the blue line then restart on to normal launch. :[ I lost my root and was trying to get into download mode but now I can't get that if i can't access recovery. Please help!

I got a friend to help ;]

So holding the volume down button while powering on the phone does not get you into download mode? I thought that always worked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Mr.MaGillaCutti:
volume down is Odin Mode. You want boot mode.

Volume Up. Home Button. and Power.

When you see the tiny blue writing in the top left corner. let go of the power. continue holding volume and home until it resets again. You'll be in Recovery Mode.

Be careful in there. Id suggest going to "Reboot Now" by pressing the power button.

That outta do the trick.

Hope it helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ROMANTiC KiD:
No need to press home button just power and volume buttons thats it
[HTC Rezound] jdailey1981:
Ok, so I will be selling my Rezound soon, and the guy buying wants it all stock, and just about every global RUU link I find is broken and can't download it. Is it possible to download the rooted stock Global RUU, and be able to relock and go S-on, or is there anything else I would have to do? Thanks in advance
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
What condition are you in now for ROM, radios, and hboot?
[HTC Rezound] jdailey1981:
I am running the rooted version of the Global stock ROM. I have made no changes to radios or Hboot. I am running S-off. Reason I am asking, I have the 3.14 RUU, and when I try to download, it keeps saying service unavailable, yet I can be on WiFi or in a 4G area with 4 bars and it still says it. If I could find a way to make the phone run the OTA update from the 3.14 RUU, it wouldn't be a problem, however, I want to take it back to stock, without hard bricking it.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Just grab it from Android Police, they have like 5 mirrors available.
[HTC Rezound] jdailey1981:
4 of the mirrors are broken, and the first one when I try it stops downloading after 5% saying it is unsuccessful
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Hmmm... Yeah, seeing same thing... Try this one

http://itiankong.blogspot.com/2013/01/htc-rezound-official-31460512-710rd.html?m=1

Or just Google the version number... I found lots of sources
[HTC Rezound] jdailey1981:
Was not able to find it:( Problem I am having now is, I flashed the 3.14 RUU, and relocked...problem is now it won't download the global update...just keeps saying service unavailable, even under full WIFI and 4G coverage.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Flash it a second time... You have the full RUU zip file, correct? Did you verify the MD5 sum of the file? And You have an active acct with Verizon?
[HTC Rezound] flamewalker:
I had this same problem... I have the link on my desktop. I'll try to remember to send it to you in the am.
[HTC Rezound] mikeyk101:
Just out of curiosity are sure you running the RUU for 3.14.605.12? There were several leaks of similar versions and IIRC, you have to be on the exact bloated version that Verizon was using to get the OTA update to 4.05.605.14. If you need the shipped one, you can download it from here: http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vigor It has both the .zip version along with the .exe version which is the true RUU way of doing it (phone must be connected to computer by data usb cable and the program run on your computer). As long as you are still S-off, you should have no issue doing the 3.14.605.12, get the OTA updates, and then S-on if you wish to.

ETA: I have used the downloads from the link I provided to do this on several different phones and it worked for me. And the download usually runs pretty quick even though it is a 604mb file. I did see on the other thread that a link was provided for a similar download but that said it was a 598mb size and that may/may not be a clue that it might be the wrong version.
[HTC Rezound] flamewalker:
To confirm, are you s-on or s-off, and what exactly is the rom version? there is a small ota that came between the 3.14.605.12 and the 4.05.605.14. That ota is 3.14.605.13.

Also, are you on pure stock? stock recovery and all? If so, and you are already on 3.14.605.13, you can load this from the stock recovery (otapkg.zip for 4.05.605.14):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40757466&postcount=19

If you are on 3.14.605.12, you need to load this from stock recovery first:

http://www.wizwire.net/vigor/OTAPkg-3.14.605.13.zip

Drop the OTA file(s) onto your root sd card, power off, hold vol dn + power for several seconds to get you into hboot. Select recovery from the menu.

-Wait for stock recovery to boot (wait for red triangle with explanation point), once loaded, volume up button + power button will bring up stock recovery menu

-Use volume buttons to scroll, power button to select load zip from file to load the otapkg.zip's.

(copied from http://www.droidforums.net/forum/ht...-how-access-hboot-fastboot-recovery-menu.html)

Let me know if you have any trouble!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ravelcop:
Guys, please help me out on this weird problem. Check on the pics, notice the 1st picture reports that my Storage Card uses 405.8 MB. However, if i go to the details (2nd picture), if you add up all the usage per folder, it only total to 308 MB. Where's the missing 100MB? I also tried manually investigating this through RESCO Explorer and the same result, usage report doesn't make sense
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Robson:
what sd brand are you using? i had the same problem when i was using my 512mb sandisk (hey mates, no offense to those using this card). the storage indicators showed that i had 480mb of free space...but when i loaded my files i found that i could only use 380-plus mb. card said it was full but the indicator said i still had space to use. i did a number of reformats but no avail; still stuck with the 380mb limit.

since then i've switched to using a 1gig toshiba card; works well for me. indicators show that i had 988 of free space...which is exactly the amount of files i was able to load.

cheers
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ravelcop:
i'm using this brand of SD Card
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Robson:
well, from what i gather there are some sd card brands which seem to have poor quality in terms of storage, speed and such. when i switched to using toshiba and panasonic cards; i've had no issues since then as compared to when i was still using sandisk or kingston. if you have a bud who has a different brand of card try asking him or better yet try out his card by plugging in your unit.

cheers
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] SaBo:
Could it be that you are just using loads of small files on a card with large cluster size?

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
I flashed the new firmware and my touchscreen wouldn't work anymore.. Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bigdee1974:
Sounds like you need to flash the latest ROM (4.3). Same happen to me. Did a hard reset and booted into bootloader, recovery and flashed Bad Boyz ROM and everything worked fine. This is a stable and very close to stock rom.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
My touchscreen in Recovery wouldn't work either... I am doing an RUU right now.. May have been an issue with TWRP

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] yogex22:
Friends, recently i got xperia neo v and after using it for sometime i am facing a strange problem. I am getting very low network signals. I have tried the same sim card in another cell phone also so there is no problem with either sim card or signals. Network signals keeps fluctuating. I have tried chaning almost every basebands, kernels and roms. Still i am facing the same issue. I am confused whether its a software fault or hardware? Till it was unrooted and bootloader was locked i was facing no problem. After 2-3 weeks of rooting and unlocking bootloader i started facing this issue.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vishal_android freak:
Strange.. IMO, its not because of rooting.. How is the network outside? Where do you find low network, in your home or outside too?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] yogex22:
Outside in open also networks keeps on fluctuating. I can have a decent call and can use 3g internet outside home and rooms at upstairs. I find low network in home at downstairs and while in travelling. I was not facing this problem before. :crying:

2. You could Google Nexus 4 drivers + insert your OS x64 or x86 blah blah

Anyone experiencing this during calls? On my 3rd note 3 and they all have this. Could it be sprint? I know they are upgrading all the towers here but they been doing it a couple months now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nolimit06:
No issues on my end. I have the black Note 3 if that helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phyba:
I got the black one. It will be fine for a minute, then start making noises and crackling type sounds. But this is my 3rd note. So I was just curious if maybe it could be the network? I am gonna try a wifi Call and see if it's different
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nolimit06:
That's odd, Iv'e made several calls on mine since yesterday in different locations and have not had a problem. Have you rooted or tried any thing audio wise? Also is your volume at the max?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phyba:
Doesn't do it when I listen to the pre recorded visual Voice mail messages. And it will be fine on a call for a minute and then start acting up. I notice on my wife's Galaxy S3 that when the signal is bad and stays to break up it kinda sounds similar to what I'm hearing, just not so noticeable. I'm wondering if it's these upgrades they are doing here. Funny how pre recorded messages don't have this issue but when I'm on a call it does
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nolimit06:
Most likely a network issue. I know when they are working on towers they offload on to other towers and that causes all kind of problems. Id say give it sometime. If you have the TEP on the phone hardware issues are covered for free.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] KId-GONE-BAD:
crackly note 3 calls wtf

This is my second note 3, bought at best buy sprint. Calls are crackly found a article that says they having crackly calls phone issue. I'm returning this shut if it's phone defect and note network related.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phyba:
I'm gonna wait until the end of the week to see if it goes away. what's the chances of getting 3 defective notes all with the same issue? Like I said, listening to the pre recorded voice mails that came on the phone play just fine which leads me to believe that if it were a hardware issue, it would happen when I play those messages as well but it doesn't
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] KId-GONE-BAD:
It's annoying! I'm going to continue to research and see if samsung responds to this. If not i have 12 days for a full refund. And Waite for the real next big thing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phyba:
I know it can't be hardware because phone calls make this sound whether it's through the headpiece or the speaker phone. But music and other apps that use the speaker don't have this noise.

I'm thinking it may have something to do with the radio. May need to be updated.

If I get a 4th note and it does it then I know it's something network related. My wife's Galaxy S3 isn't as pronounced but you can kinda hear it. The note 3 is just more noticeable
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Geronimo.USMC:
My Note 3's speaker & earpiece sucks. I paid full price. It's going back for a refund........Will get a 1max if tri-band, or Mega till Note 4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] freeza:
Same happens for me..... :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phyba:
Wondering if it's a bad radio firmware that can't be fixed with an update. I don't talk on my phone much but I don't want it to sound digitized with popping and crackling sounds
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] KId-GONE-BAD:
Is spoke to a sprint tech today, they tell me I'm the first to call about this matter, REALLY!! I told them it's all over the blogs and Internet about bad ear piece on the note 3! No radio update, call sauna they told me or just go return the phone!!! Best buy tomorrow to return it, I can Waite a few months for something that works or even better price drop

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] biggboii:
I get that, too. I have a white one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] grifter9931:
Just a heads up,

I was looking at a co-workers G2 on Verizon today and heard the same cracklin' when making a call, it wasn't that way on messages or audio.

But when making a call it had the same issue. I did not try making a wifi call.

She thought it was just her who heard the noise but is super irritated now. She is looking into the LG Optimus G Pro on AT&T.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pcmanager:
I have the same crackling irritating popping noises while making and receiving phone calls. It happens if I am using the phone earpiece, speakerphone, earbuds, and also on Bluetooth. When playing music on ear buds I do not hear the crackling and popping irritating noise. That sucks because I really like the phone but I run a business and I really need to use the device as a phone. I will definitely be returning this phone in a couple days if the issue does not get any better which I'm 99 percent sure it won't on its own.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] corvette72778:
I am having the same problem. chirping, garbled sounds, buzz noises, etc. Hopefully this can be fixed with a software update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] grifter9931:
I am in the situation as yourself. I also run a business and since I am on wifi 95% of the time. I already am using Line2 and for me and how I use my devices Line2 has been a life saver. Especially when I at a clients place up in the hills where there is no hope of a signal.

Hope it gets better for you and the rest of the folks out there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phyba:
I'm glad I'm not alone. I'm on my 3rd note. No issues until I make a call. So I'm assuming it's something quirky with the radio. When I called sprint yesterday, the guy at our corporate store said his s3 started doing that recently so I don't know ifs sprints network but this sucks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phyba:
Today I'm out of town and I'm roaming and I make a call and out of the last 10 test calls I've made, I have yet to hear the crackling g/churping/robotic sounds from the ear piece so I'm assuming it's sprint. I'll be on sprint network shortly about 2 hours from where I live and I'll try again and see I get the issues.

I did go into phone settings and I saw there was an option for personalize sound call. It was set to clear sound. I turned it off. Not sure if that made a difference or not. Worth a shot for anyone with the issue. Report back
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pcmanager:
My call sound was already set to OFF, I tried clear and soft and also unchecked the background noise suppressor and called my voicemail a couple times and the crackling digitized voice sounds are still there I am in an area with excellent Sprint cell and 4G LTE coverage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phyba:
Right now I'm out of town but on sprints network and haven't experienced any issue today so far. There is no lte here and they aren't working on any towers that I'm aware of.

Unless it has something to do with our phones and the 4G radio?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nolimit06:
Sucks seeing some of you guys having these issues. Seems like a software issue though but I have yet to have any problems with my device and I am one of those people that stand in the store looking for issues before leaving. I am extremely OCD and the only issue I have seen is the lower left of my screen seems slightly darker in the lower left corner but that might be me as no one else that has seen my phone can see it and its not present using display tester.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phyba:
No issues all day with the problem I stated above. I have been reading the Web that a lot of new phones experience this on sprints network near areas getting tower upgrades. Look up iPhone crackling sprint and u will see n's tons of people complaining.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] corvette72778:
Atrocious is the best word to describe the sound quality during a phone call for my Sprint Note 3. Although I am in an area where they are upgrading to 4G, it didn't do it on my Note 2 and the sound quality was noticeable from the first phone call. Also, I tried changing all the settings on my phone and there was no difference. It is phone specific. I am not sure if it is only on sprint Note 3s and how many. I also don't know if its software or hardware related.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dutchman71:
Same annoying crackling sound here. Never had these issues with my Note 2. It really is annoying and it's hard to understand people sometimes because it distorts the incoming voice.. Please fix this Sprint/Samsung.

Awesome, sprint thread, I'm going to join the discussion there and call Samsung, sprint about the issue. Leave posts on high profile review sites. I hope it's just a bad batch of N3s.

On all the calls I made and received today I had to put up with the horrible sound quality: asking the other person to repeat themselves several times because half of the conversation was filled with pops chirp and digital distortion.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phyba:
I don't think the phone is bad. I'm roaming now and my call quality is excellent.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] seoulbrova:
definitely seems like a software issue.

what are the chances 3 phones have the same problem?

plus, wouldnt verizon, att, and tmobile note 3 users be complaining about it? I doubt the sprint note 3 has a different ear piece speaker. theyre probably all the same components fro the most part.

i have the issue as well on both note 3s that i purchased. see no point in taking it back if the problem seems to be this common. ill wait for a software update
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
I know I am not on Sprint, but I get this with calls on Skype on my T mobile Note 3 using ATT plan.

EDIT: On ATT and the earpiece does indeed crackle and distort on high volume. Logic says put the volume lower, I did. But then I cannot hear the other party! Another duff unit I am assuming {sigh} Man these little ( well big coz its a phone primarily ) really frustrate me. Exchanging is no biggie, however I envisage gettiing another unit with some other fault on it.
