[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GrinReaper:
I've been on Carbon 1.8 for some time (AOKP and CM10 before that) and wanted to go back to stock rooted TouchWiz for a while. So I downloaded the de-odexed rooted Stock VRBF1 from Scotts ROMs.

I flashed this from TWRP 2.5.0.0 and the phone would not boot beyond the "Samsung Galaxy S III" screen. This was a clean flash, I factory reset the phone and also manually cleaned the dalvik, cache, system and data from advanced wipe options.

I tried this again about twice with the same result.

I then tried a Stock VRALG7 zip that I had on my computer with the same result.

Finally, I gave up and decided to flash Carbon again, and the exact same thing happened - The phone won't boot beyond the "Samsung Galaxy S III" screen.

I can access Recovery just fine and even connect via adb. One thing I noticed was that when I am in TWRP and explore the files, /system is empty and has only one folder (bin)

At this point my phone is pretty much dead in the water and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks !!

Odin?....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GrinReaper:
No, all from TWRP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
They're suggesting that you use Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GrinReaper:
My bad, use ODIN to flash the stock or the Carbon?

Also do I use the same zip that I got from scots roms or do I the stock firmware from sammobile?

I have never really used Odin and am not really sure if all zips are odin flashable or not.

Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Use Odin to flash the stock tar then reroot. There's a no-wipe stock rom thread in the dev section that has a few stock images. If you have issues flashing those images then I firmly suggest using a tar that wipes /sdcard. You can download those on Samsung Update website for our phone model (SCH-I535).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GrinReaper:
I am downloading the Firmware zip from sammobile, is that not the right file ? I really hate sounding like a noob but like I said, this is my first time with Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
They might have some as well, I'm mobile and at work so I can't check for you. Make sure the tar specifically states it's for "d2vzw" or SCH-I535. If someone else can help out please do. I know there are firmware on "Samsung Updates" website but I haven't looked on Sammobile before. Better yet, post the file name once it's downloaded.

Here's a fresh build of busybox 1.21.1. Default busybox config (sans RPC features which shouldn't matter to anyone here anyway), built directly on my device. It might be useful to people on the stock ROM where you need to install it via recovery to have it persist across reboots.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Jorg:
Hi all,

I just received my HTC Universal (MDA Pro), but I am facing difficulties in using the Mailclient for my IMAP server.

I set the account to receive only the messages of the past 5 days, however, it received messages from the past half year (about 600), and does not erase the old ones.

Furthermore, once doing a Send/Receive, it will relatively quickly receive the latest message headers, however afterwards, it stays for several minutes in the "receiving" mode. The app seems to hang at this time, and it takes about 5 minutes before I can do anything on the device again.

Q: How can I set mail to only display 5 days of messages? All of this worked perfectly with the same settings (as far as I can tell) on my XDA1 with MW2003.

Thanks.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] francorg:
Strange...

I have no problem in receiving just the last 5 days with imap profiles on my JasJar and Exchange 2003 sp2 server.

The only problem is that I can't receive the Sent Items headers... But I don't know if it's a JasJar limitation or I have to enable some hidden feature in Exchange...

Anyone may help me?

Thank you,

Roberto

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gunner86:
My provider only uses HSPA +/LTE, the phone always downgrades to hspa (non +) and sometimes 3g which my provider doesn't support so I loose my data connection and it sometimes takes a really long time for it to go back to the proper hspa+ that I need it to use all the time. Anybody knows if I can somehow force the phone to use hspa+ 100% of the time?

Thanks

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gunner86:
How??
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yulet:
You must be mixing up HSPA+ with LTE. I don't think there's a way to choose between HSPA/HSPA+/UMTS, they're all considered 3G or WCDMA (unless you're in Canada.. carriers lie here, those networks shown as 4G are actually 3G)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gunner86:
Well when my phone shows 3g or hspa I cant get anything to load online, it will stay on this mode for a while sometimes and then as soon as the phone shows hspa+ everything loads perfect. Every othere phone I have bought from Bell mobility in canada show hspa+ all the time.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yulet:
I just tried making a call with my Note 3 (S800) and it was able to make a call on HSPA+ on TELUS. I think either your location doesn't have good HSPA+ signal / it's overloaded or there's a problem with the phone, does it support all the 3G frequencies Bell uses?

Bell mobility uses "UMTS/HSPA compatible on 850 and 1900 MHz bands" which is supported by the note 3, I just dont get why both my unlocked exynos note 2 (got rid of it 1 month after I bought it because of this problem) and also the exynos note 3 have this problem on bell mobility in canada.....
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nakedtime:
You can always edit data retry to a smaller number in your build.prop.

"ro.telephony.default_network" is the build.prop entry for which default network you're on. You could figure out which one of those corresponds to HSPA+ (probably through trial and error).

**edit

Oh, you may just have to flash a new modem then O.0

[Off-topic] mvmacd:
I want to make a brake strobe light for my motorcycle that does this when I press the brake: flash quickly, a few times [to get the driver behind me that I'm assuming isn't paying attention], then for the rest of the duration I hold my brake, stay solid. then repeat.

My brake lights are on a 1157 bulb with 3 wires: ground, tail, and brake.

I haven't yet gone out and tested with a meter to be sure the tail light doesn't go out when I press the brake light, or if both of them are 12V or if the tail is 5V and brake is 12V. I would think I would need a voltage regulator to give the microprocessor the right volts [I'm thinking ~3 volts?].

So I basically need to find a cheap, small, microprocessor that can handle input/output, so I can use it to initially flash the light, then leave it on solid until I let go of the brake [12V goes away] and then be able to wait till the next time I brake and do it all over again (If it had persistent storage, I could count how many times I braked total--that would be cool!). I'm not sure how many mA load would be on the brake lights, but the ones I have are 13 x SMD 5050 LEDs each (times 2, for 2 brake/tail lights). the SMD 5050 has 3 LEDs each I believe, so it would be like 52 LEDs. would a transistor be able to handle that kind of load? It would need to be at 12 volts as that's what the bulb takes in (and in turn I'm sure reduces the volts to each LED).

I will be using LEDs so I don't have to worry about incandescent light bulbs.

The problem is, I do not know what microprocessor to use. Can anyone recommend something that would be ideal for this project? also what kind of setup for the transistor would be nice. :)

Thanks

I was looking through the carrier free HTC One section - http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2115 - and noticed people talking about xposed mods.

Is there a good central repository of info about xposed mods? Are xposed mods universal? As in can an xposed mod developed for a Galaxy phone or Moto X work with the Verizon HTC One? If they are not universal, could a mod posted in the Sprint HTC One section work on the Verizon HTC One?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jaydubbs:
The mods tend to be very specific. There is a Sense 5 toolbox and the Xposed Status bar mod, both specifically for the One. They work really well, I'm using both and have made changes without a hiccup. Search XDA for the Xposed module thread for all the info you can handle. Within the Xposed app itself you can download the modules that I listed as well as any others that are out there. Just make sure you read the description of each because they'll tell you whether or not it's specific to a specific device our rom.

OK so an update on things. So for some reason I decided to change the driver for the device to Android adb device and was able to sideload cm 10.2 on the phone. Before that I couldn't sideload as the computer couldn't see the device. It boots up and works.... Only issue is for a split second I see the two LG logos and it boots into the rom. The issues I've noticed is that it doesn't allow me to turn wifi or blue tooth on and also shows my battery fully charged at 78 percent..... Any help. This is the e971 from Rogers with clockwork recovery installed.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] nelly_85:
Also wanted to add that my phone was in a security boot thingy. It all happened when I tried installing cm10.2 and also the Telus baseband on my phone and then when I got into this issue. I've tried the kdz route, the teeny bins etc none would pick up the phone. That's why I tried sideloading and it actually loaded the rom but I have issues and I've checked all the threads already.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_est_la_vie:
I've been reading through other threads here on XDA about a common boot loop issue that N900T users are experiencing, but nowhere was it mentioned that the Canadian variant users had a similar problem, but I do.

I was wondering if there were any other SM-N90028 users out there that were stuck in a boot loop?

Here is my situation:

I have a Canadian SM-N900W8 (it is, also a Qualcomm LTE version) and I'm in a boot loop... it all started when I tried to restore a Stock-Rooted Rom with TWRP.

I can't, however get it out, and I've tried all of the versions of TWRP, I've also used odin like 30 times... nothing.

I successfully restored a Rooted stock ROM through TWRP, but it wasn't until I re-installed a factory un-rooted one that things got ugly..

So I was thinking about this and perhaps the cause of this is KNOX... since the first thing I did when I rooted my phone initially was uninstall KNOX and all of its files. I know these didn't carry over when I did a TWRP backup, which is perhaps why my restore of that backup worked the first time. The second time, I just went and downloaded everything stock and used Odin, and that's when the bootloop occurred.

if anyone knows of a way to solve this, I'd be forever grateful!

I really hope I will be able to fix this...

Not to sound.to xdaish...but dude seriously this topic.is all.over the n3 forums. Have a.look and you will find tons of info.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_est_la_vie:
Thank you, but I've read them all and most are regarding the n900t, I felt it appropriate to ask about the n900w8 variant.

Also, I know that would have been better, but it's too late for that now. I just thought I'd share my experiences here with this issue so that others will know better.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_est_la_vie:
So I tried a different stock ROM, and with the latest version of Odin, but it still is in a boot loop.

However there is one difference; this time it will boot past the Samsung logo and into android, but then a window will pop up saying "Process system isn't responding" and ask me to wait for it to respond or close it. Regardless of what I select, it will end up rebooting seconds later.

In the very short time that everything stays booted for, I can access the two pull-down menus from the top, but selecting anything will yield me no results.

Perhaps this can tell us more about this issue?

Has anyone managed to decypher the content of TomTom Navigator colour scheme (.clr) files?

They look like rgb sets, but some of the examples I've got don't make much sense.

This is one of the TomTom night schemes:

016,016,032 // background - black

043,000,000 // built-up area (city) - darkred

043,000,000 // water solid - darkblue

043,000,000 // park - darkgreen

085,000,000 // woodland - darkred

Also, are the descriptions after the // just comments? If so, then I guess it's the order of the entries that determines what the entry defines...

Any pointers would be useful as I wish to create a couple of my own to match the dash lighting in my car...

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pre4speed:
Where did you buy it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
Sounds to me like you are black listed. If so then you can probably do it if your name was the first attached to that phone and reported the ESN. Upon that failing, you can try to bribe someone to clear your ESN. What I have noticed is that there are a lot of bad ESN phones being sold to Canada, as it seems the checks are not compatible and could work up here. Aside from those options, it seems you have a bad phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] paulmagglios:
Yeah, it was a craigslist buy :mad:

Also I've heard about the options to sell overseas and to canadians, but would like to use the phone here in the States if at all possible.

So these craigslist and ebay ads about being able to 'fix' the imei back to the original carrier are false?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
My understanding is that bad IMEI or ESN is due to the phone being reported lost or stolen. I'm assuming here, but i'd be pretty confident in saying that the original owner would have to contact the original carrier to clear the block. Otherwise anyone could steal and un block ESN. On the other hand, the people offering this service may work for whatever agency or carrier deals with blocking ESNs. Here is an Ebay ad I've found for ATT. Seems kind of legit, but is definitely risky to give someone remote control of your phone in order to swap the IMEI number. Up to you entirely though. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bad-IMEI-ES...217?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cd6ca26e9.
