I flashed mk2 with odin full wipe today, since I545VRUDMI1 was rooted I decided to try and flash this odin image to check out the new build and then root it... but it keeps failing. I have checked and verified the crc values, they all check out. Any ideas? Also has anyone actually gotten this from OTA? When I flash back to bone stock and run the OTA's untill says I have the latest, I only get up to MK2. Here is Odin log:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Once you are on MK2, you can't flash an older release. MI1 is older than MK2, so you're trying to flash backwards.

What are you trying to accomplish? Since you're on MK2, root it, install Safestrap, then flash a custom ROM.

I suggest you read the following sticky thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2606501

And this thread as well http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2578569

Flashing without understanding what you're doing will quickly brick your phone if you're not careful.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xxxtncxxx:
Believe it or not I know what I am doing, I miss read something and thought I1 was above K2, and thinking that I couldn't understand what was happening. It's very hard to really brick an S4 if u are moderately educated in the subject you can get out of most situations. Even doing numbskull things like what I did. :) Was a long bad day of work, working on old out of date servers for 12 hrs can really melt your brain.

Hey guys ! Im having trouble at the moment with rooting my Galaxy s4 GT-I9500 Baseband:I9500XXUBMG9 Build NO: JDQ39.I9500XXUBMG9

I have tried and followed many instructioner guys who suggests either cwm method or cf-auto-root method. And I tried also trouble-shootings that are possible with those steps. (Need to mention that i was able to root my old Galaxy s3 phone without any trouble.)

After using up Odin to flash CWM recovery, phone boots up as usual and then I shut it down and perform VolumeUP-power-home as usual and I end up with stock recovery all the time.

Once I managed to get into CWM recovery and flashed supersu over it , then reboot .after having phone opened, I see that superSu cant install binary then figured out the phone again! turned out to be in the stock recovery.

Please help me out guys! If theres anything that you may not understand above is becuz of my English. Feel free to ask over and over again what I did mean .

I appreciate all your future helps !

thanks from now on.!

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymonkey05:
Ok guys so today my play officialy decided to call it quits. The screen will not power on but the phone will. This led me to belive that the flex cable is the cause. But before I go out and buy a new flex cable I officialy want to make sure its the right one.

I heard that there are difrent revisions of the cable v1, v2, v3 and I want to make sure I get the right one so my play is r800x modle and I belive it was manufactured 9w11 so anyways guys some help would be nice, thanks
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
I don't think there is different versions of slider flex cable (i think only digitizer have few variants)

If you can enter in flash and fastboot mode normally (check with flashtool) then it's probably slider flex problem.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymonkey05:
well the kernel and rom boot fine and the digitizer will respond to touch but the lcd will not come on. so i fear its the flex cable that has came loose or has been dameged
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
When my flex was damaged, my touchscreen didn't work. I was afraid that my digitizer was damaged, but i was lucky and it was only slider flex cable.

Try to power on phone and slide in and out game keyboard few times. If screen comes on for even for half of seconds then it's surely flex...

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] FrogFan:
Hello,

I'm having the same problem reported here with Bluetooth voice dialing over Intellilink in my 2013 Buick. When I use the voice command system to "call Bob", I get the usual response, "calling Bob on cell", followed quickly by "dialing failed". When I access the phone book directly, scroll through it to find Bob's number and select it, it dials Bob's number. The system worked fine until 4.3

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Ed

This is not going to help you, but I am having the same issue.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] FrogFan:
There is a "fix"

Well, I found a "fix", but this site won't let me post the link; it's to an "outside" site. Evidently, dashes and parentheses are now interfering with the voice dialing capability on GM cars. I have no idea why this fix works, maybe someone with the technical chops can explain it to us. But I can say that, after I exported my contacts, edited out all the "offending" characters, then re-imported the edited contacts into gmail, all was well and voice dialing worked again.

If you want the link, PM me and I'll send it to you.

I hope it works for you, and I hope someone can explain what's going on here. There was nothing "offensive" about parentheses or dashes two weeks ago. Something happened...

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Olipro:
The title is ambiguous enough that it can techically be argued that it belongs in the upgrading forum (since it's about upgrading) or the WM2005 forum, since it's about WM2005, and this forum, since it's asking an opinion petaining to the Himalaya. so if anyone feels it should be relocated, argue it out, or move it if you have the power.

OK, so basically, I currently run my Himalaya with 2003SE, running TomTom 5, and MMS/SMS with all the other default features in use such as calendar, bla bla...

However, WM2005 does look rather attractive and so I was wondering if it was worth upgrading to it, and if there's any special considerations I need to bear in mind, or if anyone has an opinion why I should avoid it, or indeed embrace it, then I'd be interested in what you have to say.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] djtwok:
I would also like to know what improvements WM 2005 brings. And if it doesnt work can I bring back WM 2003 SE by hard resetting my device ?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Olipro:
I installed it, nothing like firsthand experience.

you can revert back by flashing 2003(SE) back to the PDA.

personally, I think it's certainly worth trying, just set yourself up with a RAMdisk, or you really waste space
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] imablackhat:
Try it, I love WM2005, it runs smooth as hell on my device! Everything works flawlessly.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Robson:
i have this cd where i placed all the programs and apps that i use or would like to have on my xda. anytime i'm forced to do a hard reset i simply reinstall them. the only app that doesn't work with my upgrade to wm2005 is animated today...then again i did write to the developer and they said they're working on getting an update for wm2005 compatibility. so the only thing you might encounter is an app that doesn't work right with wm2005 since it was originally designed to run with older rom versions (like se). and it's been 3 or 4 months since i did my wm2005 upgrade; haven't done a hard reset yet as everything is stable.

other than that i think wm2005 rocks. buzz, xda2jojo, toenailed, and toflock are among those who did an incredible job in bringing wm2005 to the xda2.

If the 360 turned on then yes you are doing something wrong. Also I don't believe it's plug and play solo, you need something on the pad to make it work.

Is the voice recognition done on the watch or the phone?

I don't have the Gear yet, but on the phone, the voice recognition improved immensely for me once I downloaded the Australian English pack.

It's under the language and input > voice search settings of the phone.

If it's done on the watch, is there a way to download different dialect packs?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SgtGoldy:
From my understanding is the gear has its own simplified version of Svoice built in... and it sucks donkey balls.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] richlum:
That sucks. I guess if you speak with a north American mid west accent you are probably ok. For the rest of the world...

The voice recognition was very poor for me without downloading the Australian English pack.

The more days pass while I wait for it to be available in Thailand, the more I think I'll wait for version 2...

[Motorola Droid X2] Anybodysguess:
Hello,

I have just registered and I am sure some people will say I did not need to start a new thread, but I don't think any threads answer my exact questions.

I am interested in installing dragonzkiller's CyanogenMod 10.0.0-RC0 For the Droid X2 on my DX2.

I am looking for a little guidance, I am on 2.3.5 stock and do not know how to get back to the required 2.3.4, I have never installed a rom before, but I am rooted.

I do not know how to make a "backup" of any sort or how to use it should something go wrong. Even though from the video I watched it only took about 10 minutes to install and it worked fine.

I will be using this as a daily driver, as I do not take videos, that wont be a problem, but what I do not know is "Bluesleep" is this a problem? What does bluesleep do? does not having it affect battery life?

And most importantly what does he mean when he says

"Data usage: Just don't ask me. I might get to it again one day. We'll see."

does it leak data? This is the most important to me as I am on a extremely limited data plan, and use droidwall to block most data usage. If I use droid wall on this ROM will it still leak data? Stock ROM does not leak any data at all with droidwall.

Sorry if I sound like a noob, but I would appreciate the expertise of you guys!

verify the md5 checksum

download RSD Lite 5.7 unzip with 7zip or other file compression utility

follow How To Flash a SBF/ (stock rom) Using RSD Lite

wipe data

reroot with Pete's root tools

you need install bsr, to create a image backup of you system, called a nandroid

see my after rooting

bule sleep is an app, used to help save battery life, just don't install it on cm10

Data usage is the app that can tell you what is using data, it was not working, not sure if it was fixed in alpha 3 or not

droid wall should work fine

Every theme I select clicking the camera button opens the Gallery.

If in go in and manually change the default app to camera from Themer Camera it still opens the gallery.

I ended up clearing it again and having it default to Focal and it loads Focal fine. I'll use that in the mean time.

[Themer General Discussion] OneMoreBrick:
Same here... Annoying, hope someone has an answer.
[Themer General Discussion] AB256:
Happened with me as well.

When I had just applied my very first theme, I clicked on the camera icon, it gave me 3 options and asked which one to set as default:

1) Camera

2) Camera

3) Camera 360.

If you look closely, options 1 & 2 are the same.

I picked option number 1) Camera, and now the camera icon always opens the Gallery, rather than opening camera. Its happening on all the themes.

I went to apps --> Themer and 'cleared defaults' , and yet the issue persists.

[Themer General Discussion] KorGuy123:

That probably explains it. I imagine that Themer is more likely to work with CM than with PA.

Open file manager and goto the folder where whatsapp images r stored and just creat a file name ".nomedia"
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solid0snake:
It's not possible, because Whatsapp triggers the internal media library. You could manually clean media storage and sony gallery data or use an alternative app.

I would recommend Quicpic for general pictures like DCIM and Sony Album for dirty Whatsapp Images :D
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] headbon3:
undisputedpro's method is better, creating a folder prevents media apps from scanning the contents with that folder present on same directory.

The pictures, movies and sounds sent and recieved from whatsapp are stored in the internal SDcard in the folder Whatsapp. IF you place a .nomedia file do this in all the folders ;) This helps for me :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepoluan:
I second what [MENTION=4715675]mrjraider[/MENTION] had written.

The Xperia Album galery app does honor .nomedia files... but only if the .nomedia file is located on the same folder as the pictures. It will still scan subfolders underneath for pictures.

So, go to Whatsapp's Images folder (by default located in /storage/sdcard0/WhatsApp/Media/WhatsApp Images ), and create a file named ".nomedia" (dot nomedia, without quotes) there. Inside that folder, there's a Sent subfolder. You might also want to create the ".nomedia" file there.

Do likewise for ther folders inside /storage/sdcard0/WhatsApp/Media, if necessary.

Don't forget to 'close' the Album app (tap "Recent Apps" button [the rightmost one] and swipe the "Album" app to the side), before opening it again.

You'll see that the Album app honors the .nomedia files.

.

I rooted my galaxy s4 and deleted a few of the apps that I do not use and now when I try to use s-voice the screen blinks and goes black for a few seconds and then goes back to my home screen with a message that says unfortunately, s-voice has stopped. I have tried to clear app data, force closed and rebooted but the error still exists. I have installed another s-voice .apk but it says network error and closes. Any help in restoring the svoice functionality would be greatly appreciated
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: s voice

Reflash the rom and get it working properly, then if or when you decide to delete apps instead

of deleting them, rename the app extender from .APK to AP_ just in case something does not

work properly so you will have a backup next time.

Then instead of deleting or renaming many apps all at once, do only 1 or 2 at a time then check

the phone out for a couple days to be sure that everything is working properly.

Many of the samsung touchwiz apps depend on more than just a simple apk that's why S voice

stopped working for you.

If you are on the original stock rom you will need to Odin flash it unless you are interested in

flashing a custom pre-rooted rom using cwm or twrp recovery.

If you decide to flash a custom rom, give the Wicked v7 a try, it's a excellent full feature custom

rom which is already debloated so you would not need to delete or rename any files.

Good luck!

Good luck!

why Wicked v7 and not v10

just read your post and want to say thank you, i have the same problem and many posts suggest chaton / other apps caused this (although i installed them again from play store) , only 1 has been working for me , but when i reboot it return to give the message the OP has described.

(any idea why , i'm curious samsung does some kind of validation on root on restart ??)

so i consider maybe reflashing the stock rom but maybe another - but i really don't have any experience with this and i'm afraid to brick it.

so long story short (with lots of questions) why to take v7 and not 10

thanks again
