[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jlarsen5:
I have read through the forums for the last two days trying to figure out how to get my tab back to stock and cant seem to find any links that are current (or unbroken). Can some one please point me in the right direction to a stock rom image? My note 10.1 gt-n8013 wont boot up at all after a recent update. I do have access to the recovery screen and the download target screen but I cant get my computer to run odin (it recognizes the device but fails connection set up every time). I re installed all drivers on my windows 7 laptop but it looks like I will have to load onto the memory card to get anything to work. Thanks in advance for any help and please don't hesitate to ask questions if I have left any needed info out.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spirol:
First of all, you are in the wrong forum. This one is for the Galaxy Tab 10.1, which is very much different from your Galaxy Note 10.1. The correct forum is here: Galaxy Note 10.1 forum

But anyway

Go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/, create a profile (press the "join"-button in the upper right corner), and then search for GT-8013. Pick the first firmware on the list. This will take you to a download page that contains the firmware. Download it :good:

Then go download Samsung KIES to install the correct drivers. Grab it here Be sure to download the correct version (not the one for the Note 3)

Since you don't specify which version of Odin you use, I suggest you download version 1.85 from the

second post

in this thread

Now you have all you need.

Make sure you have USB-debugging enabled and reboot to download mode.

Make sure KIES is not running, kill the process in windows task manager.

Start up Odin, preferably run it as administrator, and connect your device to your PC.

Select the downloaded firmware in the PDA box and press start :good:

You should now be on stock firmware :D

And shame on you for posting this in the development section too!

Alright, so I'm having this problem since a few months on both of my devices (Nexus 7 and Galaxy S3). For some reason, chrome keeps on remembering entrys of my history. It doesnt matter how many times I clear the browsing data, even clearing the app data doesnt work.

Web history and predictive search are both turned off.

Is there anyone that had a similiar problem and/or knows a solution? I attached a screenshot as example.

Root your devices then download system app remover and then remove chrome and download dolphin browser

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Tanks, but I was hoping I could keep on using chrome as I really like it apart from this problem.

I've done that (as stated in the op) but even this has no effect. It might work for a couple of hours, but after that, entrys that were there before clearing the data, return.

A question out of ordinary using the same methods as a regular PC... have you tried uninstalling Chrome and installing again from the Play Store?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SkizzyNinja:
So just recently my phone has been acting goofy. At random intervals my phone will pop up with no Sim card inserted. A quick roboot and I'm back up and running like nothing happened. Sometimes it does it every 10 mins and other times 6-7 hours before it happens...I live out in the boondocks and the closes att store is about an hour away. Do you think its my sim card or the Sim card holder.

I know the s4 is a repair friendly phone but I haven't the slightest idea on how to fix it. I'm rooted and running alpha ROM. I reverted to stock recently to see if that would help and no dice. One pic is Sim card missing the next is right after a reboot. It also happens when the phone is just sitting still. On the charger and off so I know its not bumping into anything.

I think I'm having the same issue. It forces me to reboot and then it works for a while. Ive gotten a new sim and switched ROMs and still get it. I think it happens when the phone switches towers or loses signal, its usually fine when I stay put. No idea how to fix this, I've googled like crazy

Edit- now I'm getting it during the day constantly even while not moving. This issue is driving me insane

Mine was random then it completely stopped for whatever reason...I took it to metro and they couldn't figure it out after they put a different sim in so I took it to best buy to the samsung peps and they reflashed mf3 to my phone to c if that would fix it but all it did was remove root and my launcher and home screen and added all the crap ware back to the phone but luckily my lock screen let me use my apps to re root and re safestrap and rom this thing...im pretty sure its the sim card reader/holder thats messed up...the guy at samsung said to return the phone to samsung with the manufacturer warranty cause its something to do with the phone not what I did to it

Ok so my problem got solved...i went to a authorized metro dealer and asked if they had a tester sim card just to check for myself if it was the card or card holder, and it was the card that was bad cause when she put the new one in all my data came right back like it never had a problem witch is crazy cause the corp. store did the same thing they said, but i never accually saw them swap it out but whatever, my phone is fully operational now and im glad that i didnt try to update to 4.3 yet to c if that woulda fixed the issue (dodged a bullet on that one) so yea, maybe yall might could try this fix if u havent yet and i hope it works for yall...it only costed $15 for the new sim card

Edit: ok so it only helped a little cause it started unrecognizing my sim at random again...but hey at least is finding it after I reboot again instead of not finding it at all

Alternately, you can use kies.

Without connecting your phone:

1) Go to emergency firmware recovery

2) Type in your model number

3) Type in your serial number

After that it will tell you the latest stock firmware for your phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
True but he doesn't NEED that firmware to be covered by warranty. Having firmware in the wrong language would be detrimental. Suggest latest romanian unbranded ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zhono:
I'd post this in a more relevant location, but y'know. Not allowed unless I spam the forum for post-count. Oh well.

First off, I'm using the latest nightly of this rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2050948

Despite the thread title, it's now running Android 4.3.1, CM10.2, PA 3.99-RC2, AOKP jb-mr2, if any of that is important.

Next thing to mention, I have no cell/data service of any kind. Everything is strictly wifi only. Using two google voice numbers setup on the built-in sip/internet calling.

So here we go. Wiped my phone completely, installed above rom, and latest gapps, as usual. Installed a few basics(Swiftkey, Titanium, Tasker) and the installed Google Voice. Opened Voice+, selected my account. The native messaging app will now happily send SMS using google voice. So will any 3rd-party sms app I've tried(Go SMS, Handcent, etc.) My problem is, I set Google Voice to receive messages via the native app. Send myself an sms from another number, I get nothing. Changed Google Voice settings back to receiving sms via itself(the google voice app). Again, send myself a text... nothing. Until I manually open the google voice app. Then it does it's little refresh business, and bam. Up pops my text messages(within that app only). I've checked everything. Any auto-sync setting and background data settings that I can find are turned on. Wifi connection is active and internet works.

I just can't figure this out. Ideally I would like to receive my messages via the native app or handcent, but at this point it would be nice if I could get them at all, without having to manually open the google voice app to see if any decide to pop up. Was also hoping to stick with this rom, as it's the only I see with those latest versions I mentioned above. Particularly I wanted to use Voice+ rather than the extremely buggy and overpriced apps for integrating google voice sms.

Anyone know what's going on here, or how to fix it? Not really sure what other info to include, so I'm sorry if I've missed something important.

P.S. If my grammar sucks or I seems to be typing up half a thought, it's because it's 5am and I have been at this for many hours now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Do you have you're phones sync on...might make a difference...since you're using WiFi.

Besides that..I would wipe cache of the app..if still buggy..wipe data and cache of the app...and reboot recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache...you might even uninstall the app before the recovery wipes of cache and dalvik..then reinstall and set up...

Sorry I'm not more helpful..I don't use that set up...but I bet somebody with more experience will chime in here soon...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zhono:
Yep, sync is turned on in every place I could find a setting for it. As for the other stuff, I've tried wiping cache and whatnot. I also wiped the entire phone several times and tried different roms. The one I mentioned above, the Dirty Unicorns rom, and now I'm on the official CM10.1.

*EDIT* Well this is embarrassing. And kind of confusing. Just for the sake of thoroughness, I went into my router's settings, and lessened the security to low, as well as turned on UPnP. Reset my phone's wifi, and now everything syncs instantly, including gvoice text messages. So now I have to wonder, what exactly was the problem. Is there a port that needs to be open on my router, does anyone know? Also, I'm wondering what that means when I want to use my phone in places with free wifi, like McDonald's or coffee shops. As I said, I'm strictly wifi here. Any input would be appreciated, but I guess my issue is semi-solved. Just wish I didn't have to lower my network security just to use my phone.

After i tried to root the phone ( bootloader unlock went successful ) i think something went wrong

I can turn on the phone anymore. If i try with Power Off button + volume up key, i have the blue led on ( with USB cable connected to PC )

If i try with Power Off button + volume down key, the led is red ( with USB cable connected to PC )

I also tried to turn off the phone from the small yellow button, from the simcard cage

When i check in Device Manager, i can see the "Android Phone - Sony ADB Interface" but i can't see the phone in My Computer.

Do you think i can bring it back to life ? The phone is brand new, i ordered from the online shop. If i send it back, would they see that i unlocked the bootloader ?

What would you suggest me to do, guys ? Could that be a software or hardware problem ? How could i know that, actually ?
