My phone is now officially bricked. After I flashed the latest official Samsung Rom my phone started bootlooping and crashing at the Samsung logo. The only thing I can do now is to use the recovery, but even if I format/data factory nothing changed.

Any possible solutions?

My patience is collapsing with this phone T_T
[Galaxy S 4 General] gamotom:
So let me get this straight...you had an instability issue (reboots) and after all the help from the guys here suggesting to flash a stable stock rom, you decided to go ahead and flash a leaked firmware?

Find the latest OFFICIAL STOCK 4.2.2 rom and try again. Don't even root, just check with a stable rom so you can see if your issue is hardware related.
[Galaxy S 4 General] maniaknl:
Try downloading and flashing one of the sammobile firmwares.

[Galaxy S 4 General] demLong:
I installed a official stock 4.2.2. rom too... nothing changed. My last opportunity is to follow this guide.

[Galaxy S 4 General] crzygrmn:
Why on earth are trying something you don't know about. If you don't follow the guides here on xda it will not work. You have to install custom Recovery's in order to clean and erase your whole phone. If you don't it will keep on DIRTY FLASHING and acting up or rebooting or what ever. Stock recovery is basically useless for what Your trying to do.

Edit: the link you posted is the way you should have done it in the first place
[Galaxy S 4 General] demLong:
I must admit I failed so bad :\ Should I re-root to install a custom recovery? And then? How do I clean my phone? T_T I had a custom recovery, but I just format all datas/factory and cache. Is there anything else I can do with a custom recovery (considering that I don't have backups on my phone).

Please be kind, I said I'm new here :( I wait for your answers to continue
[Galaxy S 4 General] gamotom:
Which stock 4.2.2 rom did you try?

When you installed 4.3 stock rom, you probably also installed the new knox bootloader, so in order to go back to 4.2.2 you must install a stock rom like XXUDMH8 or XXUDMI1 that have the new bootloader.

Download one of them from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9505&pcode=0

and then follow the instruction from this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265477

p.s if you want ppl to be kind, follow their advice...
[Galaxy S 4 General] demLong:
Thank you so much :) I'm here to learn. So:

1) I should install a stock rom (such as XXUDMH8 or XXUDMI1) with the new bootloader

2) Then I should root using this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2413014

3) Then I should install a custom recovery and... ?

Tell me if the steps are correct or I'm failing again lol

EDIT: I realized that I installed XXUDMH8! So it's ok, it have the new bootloader. What can I do now? :/ (I did everything in the thread you linked, I got android 4.2.2. stock - XXUDMH8... but I don't know how to continue to stop the crashes)
[Galaxy S 4 General] crzygrmn:
Yeah that's basically it. After you have custom Recovery installed do a complete wipe of everything twice just to make sure. Then go ahead and install stock with Odin and your random boots should be gone.
[Galaxy S 4 General] gamotom:
Keep in mind that with so many flashes, if you already have the new bootloader, you may have triggered the Knox efuse and voided your warranty.

You can check that in download mode, if knox warranty is 0x0 you are fine. If it is 0x1 you have triggered it.

You can look for more info in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2447832

If knox warranty is 0x0 DONT ROOT YET...READ FIRST. There are ways to root without voiding your warranty.
[Galaxy S 4 General] demLong:
Warranty 0x0 for now. To be sincere I don't know what to do atm... I'm scared as hell of doing anything D:

if I can't root now, I can't install a custom recovery and clean my phone. I'm a little bit confused...

Guide me and I promise I won't do stupid things this time .-.

How to root without voiding the phone warranty?
[Galaxy S 4 General] noodlecore:
Try to install with this kernel "GT-I9505_AdamKernel.V1.6.KnoxFree2.CWM". You may search it in this xda forum.

Hopefully this will helping you.

I little recap:

- my phone has random crashes/reboot because I flashed it many times.

- atm I can't even boot it

- it got a 4.2.2 Stock Rom now

- I need to root it for a deep clean, but I would not compromise the 0x0 knox warranty

[Galaxy S 4 General] Dan1909:
Just a long shot, but if you plug in the charger, will the phone boot then?
[Galaxy S 4 General] demLong:
When I plug my phone to the charger the phone boot almost always... Sometimes it boots even without charging it...

Ofc when I start using it, my Galaxy crashes in less than ten minutes. I think it's a soft brick, but I can't do anything, I'm scared as hell of voiding my warranty (Knox is 0x0 atm).
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dan1909:
If you leave the power cable in (attached to a wall charger, not a USB port), does the phone still crash?

If the phone doesn't crash when attached to the charger then you may have the battery issues that some of us have been having. Easy way to check is to look at the serial number on your battery. If it starts with "BD" then you may be affected.
[Galaxy S 4 General] demLong:
My phone got this S/N: BD1D518A... etc etc

Holy. ****.

I hope this is not the main problem of my phone.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dan1909:
So if you leave the phone plugged in does it work normally? If it is the battery then you can just get the phone replaced by Samsung, worst case scenario you spend £15 on a new battery.

That may or may not be the issue, but it certainly matches the symptoms.
[Galaxy S 4 General] demLong:
I'm using my phone plugged and it works for now... I'll edit tomorrow for news. Thank you so much for your help... you enlightened one possible solution :) (also my battery seems to be... inflated somehow)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dan1909:
Yeah swollen batteries is another of the symptoms of the BD battery issue. It certainly sounds like that could be your problem!

Depending on where you are, and the rules on faulty goods in your country, you can either send it back to the shop for a replacement/refund, or go to samsung directly. Hope you get it sorted quickly!
[Galaxy S 4 General] demLong:
Ok my phone works flawlessly if I connect it to my charger.

Now I'm pretty sure that it's a battery problem. I'm gonna order a new battery soon... for now, thank you so much Dan, your tip helped so much :)

I'll let you know if my phone works with no issues using a new battery
[Galaxy S 4 General] Ryanrioz:
hmm, just try to getting flash back to 4.2.2 XXUBMG5 firmware and see how's goes well :D

Send my siggy phone to XDA
[Galaxy S 4 General] demLong:
I changed my battery (S/N BDxxxxx etc) and I bought a new one (S/N AAxxxxxx).

The phone is fully working now. No random reboots at all, faster than ever with Android 4.3.

Problem solved, not a rom flashing problem, just a broken battery.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pleace:
So, my phone's battery life is overall quite poor for the most part. some days it absolutely burns through my battery with little phone use, and other days it gets decent battery. i downloaded better battery stats, and for example. today my phone drained at about 10%/hour, but yesterday for example it drained at about 3%/hour. And today i did not even use my phone that much. Please help, as this is getting really annoying.

Here are some screenshots of my battery stats on two bad battery days

Day 1 Screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/bd5pl

I know it looks like dolphin burned alot of battery, but that it just because it was practically the only application i opened and i used it for a couple minutes which i normally wouldn't do. then i few hours later, this was where my batter was at, and i swear i pretty much did not even touch my phone at all! http://imgur.com/NIfYnkl

Day 2 Screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/oTZDu
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] n_alvarez2007:
Yeah I noticed something interesting as well. I have two batteries for my GS3, one is the stock battery that came with the phone and the other is a 4200 mAh battery from Hyperion Electronics. I decided to test each battery by charging each to 100% on different nights and not touching the phone overnight to see what my battery drain was

Night 1, I tested the stock battery and over night I went from 100% to 40% in a span of about 8 hours. That's a 60% decrease.

Night 2, I tested the Hyperion battery and over night I went from 100% to 98%. A total of 2% decrease in the same span of time.

Now yes I understand that the Hyperion battery is essentially 2x the battery capacity as stock, but just by simple ratios you'd think that since the stock was a 60% decrease that the Hyperion battery would be a 30% decrease, but it's not. The Hyperion battery is literally 1/30th of a drain than was the stock battery.

Something's wrong here and I wish someone could give a straight answer as to why these two batteries are demonstrating dramatically different results.

[HTC Sensation] murris16:
Hello all,

I just received my sim unlock code from my provider because my phone has a simlock.

They said in the email that I have to put in a foreign simcard, enter the code of that simcard and then I have to see a screen where I can type the simlock code.

Unfortunately that screen doesn't show up.

My HTC Sensation XE is rooted and I have Android 4.2.2 from Albinoman887.

Is there another way to enter the code to unlock my simlock?

Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] Nicx59:
I may be wrong but I think this is most likely operators fault..

You could always try another ROM and see where that gets you.

After that there is always the option to go back to stock ROM.
[HTC Sensation] onlineunlocks:
For HTC the only way to insert the unlock code is after the phone asks for it,with another sim inside.Is a common problem not to ask for code if you have another rom installed so restoring to the stock rom should allow you to insert the unlock code

1: Bad form to bump after a few hours.

2: Were you completely stock when you did the original rooting? I'd suggest getting the stock ODIN files and flashing back to that, then retry rooting without installing much of anything.

3: I recommend using 7zip to unpack the files. I had issues with WinRAR, but 7zip worked fine.

Right when I would accept an apps permissions, this message would pop up, I hit continue, and it seems like it tries to open something but screen goes black.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] carpler:
Hi to everybody!

I am a owner of a Galaxy 3.6 player and I am very interested in buying the new dac / headphone amp by Fiio, the E18 model.

You can see more details on the official site (Products -> Portable AMP&DAC).

In the description they write:

"E18 can work with smartphones with USB OTG function"

I don't think that my player supports this feature, but I ask: is an hardware problem (the player does not supply sufficient energy) or a software problem (too old Android version, ...)?

If this is not possibile with the litlle GP 3.6, there is on the market another player that can do this?

[Little OT: the old Galaxy S with cyanogenmod 10.1.3 supports the usb otg?]
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] drakonizer:
I believe (according to the OP) that Androthan's Arcane Kernel for the GP3.6 supports usb otg feature. But there are a lot of people mentioning wifi problems with that kernel and the usb otg feature has not been tested (not sure) therefore I would'nt recommend it.

As for other Galaxy Players, I doubt the stock rom and kernel of any player have the usb otg feature. But it has been achieved through custom kernels with usb otg support
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] carpler:
Many thanks for your answer.

I found on the forum the related thread for the Kernel that you have indicated, but it seems discontinued.

Perhaps there is a hope for the Androthan's CyanogenMod porting...

In the meantime I investigated how the Fiio E18 will work with a android device. Here is an answer I found in another forum:

"When E18 works as a DAC for the smartphone, the phone will not provide power for the E18. That is to say, the E18 will not consume the power of the smartphone when the E18 plays a role of DAC."

So it seems that is not mandatory that the player can supply power via usb. Perhaps is enough that the USB OTG is enabled in the kernel.

I will ask about this to Androthan...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] carpler:
Another question. The development on a custom rom for the galaxy 3.6 is still in development and in a early stage. Which player got a good custom rom, stable and without big issue?

Inviato dal mio Galaxy Nexus con Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] drakonizer:
Well both the 3.6 and 4.2's CM7 is still under development and currently these devices only have stock.based ROMS and themes.

Both the 4.0 & 5.0 have custom roms including CM10.2. I've heard they have managed to get 5.0's 4.2.2 stable along with FM radio and camera (using a third party app). The 4.0 only has minor camera issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] carpler:
Many thanks for your answer.

Here is another question about the USB OTG feature.

I'm not a developer, so I ignore many things about the question...

From what I've read on this forum, the OTG is usually introduced with a kernel that can be flashed on a stock or custom rom.

But here is my question: if I want to introduce only this feature in a device, it would be possible to do it with a "simple" patch or an app?

The device MUST be rooted to obtain this feature?

I ask this because to use an external DAC like the Fiio E18, it would be really useful to be able to achieve this functionality in a "simple" way without having to flash a custom rom or a kernel...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] drakonizer:
Nope...you have to use a custom kernel which includes the usb otg feature, does'nt matter with which ROM, stock or custom. Also I heard someone telling the USB OTG feature cannot be used with our players due to lack of enough power from the micro usb port.

EDIT: I think if a kernel (stable) with USB OTG feature is released for the 3.6, you'll be able to use your DAC as it doesn't need power from the phone.

Any idea what can I do?

You didn't mention if you flashed a custom recovery

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (the recovery.img renamed or typing whateverrecovery.img, that you moved to the fastboot folder to flash)

then you can fastboot your boot img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

You will be able to mount usb storage when in recovery and can move a rom.zip and install
