[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewolve2000:
I have done hours of searches and can't find the answer to my problem. Hopefully someone here can help.

My GT-N8013 is stuck in the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 logo screen. I can't even turn it off without it bringing this screen right back up. It only goes dead when I unplug it and let the battery run out of juice.

I can get it to restart into Odin Download mode, but not into the recovery mode. I can install roms and CWM and stock roms using both Kies and desktop Odin3, and I get "pass" status with no errors, most the time, when I do rom update, but I can't get to the restore screen with the power + volume up button, then releasing the power button and holding down the volume up button only. It just stays on the Logo screen.

I hold down the power + Volume down button and it will restart into the Warning screen that allows me to hit the volume down to go to the download screen or volume up to cancel and restart. Both the volume up and down buttons work for this action so I'm sure the buttons are working okay.

I thought maybe the battery wasn't charging right and that was preventing it from going into recovery mode, but I can charge it for a while and unplug it and the screen will stay on the logo screen for a long time, so I think the battery is okey.

Samsung just said I should send it in, but it is out of warranty and I don't want to put much more money into this devices since it is old and a new version is out now, but I hate to think a great device like this that worked so well for so long is now going to be worthless because I can't figure out how to fix it. Hardware seams to be working fine and just a few days ago, the software was working fine. I'm so confused.

Leading up to these events, I had it turned off for a few weeks because I was traveling and going on airplanes and never ended up using it on the trips so it remained turned off. When I turned it back on, there was a OTA system update that I wasn't sure what it did. Didn't appear to do anything noticeable. Still worked normal. Then a few days later I did a personal data wipe because I was going to sell it and get the new Note 10.1. I went through the new setup process without problems, everything was fine. I sold it to a guy and a day later he contacts me and says it isn't working properly and I've been dealing with this ever since. It didn't appear to have any physical damage and the custom binary download count was at "No" so I don't think he tried to load any custom roms. I don't think this guy is tech savvy enough to do anything but plug it in and use it normal, so I don't suspect foul play.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have the exact same symptoms. (No recovery mode / stuck on boot screen even after fresh stock rom installed). Out of the blue after working fine the day before.

Anyone know:

a) of anything further that I can try to resurrect this

b) if I might still have any joy getting warranty service from the shop I bought it from in the UK / Samsung if they send it back to them. I have more than a year left on the 2-year warranty they provided, and have only ever run/attempted to run stock. However as I have been out of the UK my custom binary count has increased to 7 as I have tried to reinstall Stock Roms myself to fix the problem. (However OS version still shows as Samsung Official, not custom)

Thanks so much if anyone can help me :)

Hi everybody, I am completely new in kernel development and I have a 32-bits machine, so I can't compile JB kernels. I tried to port a 4.3 kernel to 4.2.2 (as u probably know, now I am updating MIUI V5 ROM from miui.com with kingzak34 and the more kernels we have the better for everybody) but isn't booting. Could anybody help?

What I did

I installed the proper environment. I installed java, cygwin and dsixda Kitchen.

With dsixda kitchen I unpacked the 4.3 boot.img, opened the ramdisk and init.rc.

I copied export BOOTHCLASS line from the beggining of the file.

I unpacked a 4.2.2 compatible with MIUI kernel, and replaced that export BOOTHCLASS line in 4.3 kernel.

I flashed it in recovery but bootloops. I had to restore backup

What am I missing?

Thank u everybody!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex240188:
There is more to it than just copying class paths

A 4.3 kernel will not boot with 4.2 system modules

A 4.2 rom will not boot with 4.3 system modules

For this to work you will need a 4.3 kernel, 4.3 modules and you will need to do a **** load of smali edits (since you can't work with source on miui) to the rom to accommodate the new methods the 4.3 will be expecting to use.

Or back port the 4.3 kernel to be able to use the 4.2 modules. Also a challenge
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
modules and drivers, 4.2.2 wont boot without the right modules and drivers.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toddnbrown:
Having fooled around with a friend's Moto X, I must say the "Okay Google Now" functionality is really cool. These Note 3s obviously have the hardware necessary to implement it, but Samsung went with the half-assed "hi galaxy" thing instead. Now that root has been achieved! I am hoping there is some way to replace the stock function with the one from the moto x. Anybody know how, other than the Open Mic+ app, which seems to not function the same, as it is a major battery hog.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BossJ:
Yes this x10000000000

I've been looking for an app or something that changes, the function of Hi, galaxy. Even If I said "Hi, galaxy" and it triggered Google Now
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toddnbrown:
yeah that would be nice too
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrichards2009:
I'm sure it's possible with wanam or one of the others
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inline6power:
Correct. With wanam I have mine set to double click the home button for Google search instead of s voice . Works flawlessly
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niviac:
I bet you could set up tasker to automatically kill S-voice and open Google Now.

That way you just say "Hi Galaxy" and you'll get straight to Google now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrichards2009:
I think this is probably very doable
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BossJ:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaWolf850:
For the moment my workaround is to say "Hi Galaxy, Open Google Search". Then "Google, who is the president of the United States?", or whatever your Google Now need is.

But hopefully we can get something that works a little more flawlessly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brad2taylor:
I would also like to show my interest in this! Changing the hot word would be amazing, but "Hi Galaxy" opening up into Google Now listening mode would be enough for me!

Edit: I have not had time to set up tasker.. Has anyone used the "when voice opens, close it, and open Google Now" work around? How was the experience?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BossJ:
I feel like it would be way too slow, but I have tasker, I'll try to set it up later today.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brad2taylor:
I have this working with the Tasker workaround, and while it takes about 3 seconds to start listening, I love the results! Heads up though, If I enabled the wake up command option on S-Voice, Voice Search would have trouble opening the mic. Make sure to turn this option off. FYI this is the one that allows hot word detection while in the S-Voice app, not the always listening option.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathshead:
I would LOVE this functionality, S-voice STINKS! - its super slow, the voice sucks, and the results stink too.

What it DOES to very well is wake up from sleep.

I would love to see if we can get some Devs involved to make "hi galaxy" open up google now search, or even change the keyword

to "ok Google" just like the the Moto x.

Would you guys be interested in starting a bounty for this functionality?

Im willing to throw a few bucks in the pot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BossJ:
i would for sure.

I'm not sure, but if you install the new Kit Kat 4.4 Google Launcher, you can use Ok Google and it works pretty well.

Just a couple of things though. It only works when you are on your launcher screen and as of now, you need to be rooted (you need to replace a system file that is listed on page 3, the libgoogle_recognizer)

Just check out the thread on Installing the new google launcher.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathshead:
I have tried the Kitkat Launcher. after being a hardcore pure AOSP android guy for almost 4 years

I ended up right back with touchwiz launcher. I actually like it MUCH better. The Kitkat launcher is

just too plain and lacks basic functionality like limits on icons in folders.. seriously?

Stock touchwiz launcher with "Hi Galaxy" to wake up from sleep directly and instantly go to Google voice search is the way

to go.

The pulsing notifications is actually probably doable as well, if someone built it off the "wave your hand over the phone" notifications. lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
I believe Moto is devoting a processor to the pulsing screen notifications. I doubt that's replicable on our phones.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathshead:
I guess we could use Tasker to make this happen,could anyone possibly share a profile?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mintcookies:
here's mine.

also included the Task that the Profile executes (called Open Voice Search)

and a Task to make a Toggle wiggle to turn the profile on/off, be sure to create a Variable called #TOGGLE with value 0 or 1

you can get the voice search to open faster if you lower the Application Check interval in Tasker.

It may cause battery drain though. I have mine set to 1.2secs

So I say "Hi Galaxy"

S-voice opens,

1.2secs (or less) later Google Voice search opens.

Anyone know how to stop S-voice from auto-activating the microphone/listening mode? or at least mute the chime when it opens?

I read some where in these forums that someone had a "bug" which S-voice wouldnt automatically start listening when you activate it. I would sure like to have this "bug" since I only use S-voice to redirect to Google Voice Search.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vgergo:
I posted a little more complex solution in another thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47766404&postcount=23

The idea is to decrease the "Application Check (ms)" preference setting of Tasker at screen-off and reset to a more relaxed monitoring frequency a few seconds following screen-on. Google Now appears instantaneously for me.

Going back to the original question though I started poking around in the ROM, but couldn't even identify which files are holding the activation phrase. I found a bunch of suspicious ".raw" files under /system/wakeupdata/sensory each with different languages in their filenames.

Knowing the german activation phrase is "Hallo Samsung" I tried to switch all the "en_us" files with the corresponding "de_de" files, but the trigger word remained "Hi Galaxy".

I also looked into the s-voice.apk in /system/apps, which also has similar resources, but I wasn't able to do any replacements there.

Of course this is just the first step, once we can identify the file(s) responsible for the phrase we will need to find a way to change it (or maybe import the activation phrase from a moto x rom?)

...until then, if you hate the embarrassing "Hi Galaxy" you can also say "Hyper Maxi" - but I am reluctant to say that in public too.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vballrkc:
So I'm trying to revive my wifes old kindle fire that's been sitting in the bottom of our cabinent for about 4 months now. I rooted the thing when I bought it (valentines day last year) and put a custom rom on it, but when I powered it on yesterday, it was weird, the boot animation was zoomed in a little and distorted, and it was moved over to the right side of hte screen, so you could only see about half of it. And that's all it did. So i booted into recover (clockwork v5.0.2.7 FULL) to restore or reflash the zip, and there is ABSOLUTELY nothing anywhere, so I mounted the usb storage to the computer, and there is nothing, and i mean nothing on the kindle. So anyways, I donwnloaded a couple roms and put them on the kindle, boot into recovery, flash the rom, and it's the same thing. I reboot after a successful flash the boot image is distorted and out of place, and it just hangs there. Any ideas?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharonbw:
You're doing a full wipe/factory reset first, right?

Sent from my GT-p511x
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
The boot animation starting half off the screen is a bug that effects all CM ROMs. Other than it being ugly, it has no effect on the normal usage of the ROM itself. It looks like you received an OTA update from Cyanogenmod and it's possible that may have had some unintended side effects. Reinstalling the ROM, while being sure to factory reset in recovery, should fix the problem...assuming you aren't dealing with something more serious.

The point of that last statement is to highlight the fact that CWM recovery for kindle fires is NOT safe to use. Some versions contain a bug that can create bad blocks which, in effect, renders the device (mostly) useless. If nothing else, you definitely need to install a more current custom recovery for the Kindle Fire. If you like CWM, Cannibal Open Touch Recovery is based off of it and will be very familiar to what you're used to, except significantly safer and more stable. I would say replace your recovery first and then deal with any remaining problematic symptoms.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vballrkc:
Well the only recovery downloads i can find are apk's that need to be installed and then downloaded within the app. As I cannot actually get into any rom (i've tried flashing 3, same thing, weird distorted boot image off to the side) I will need a .zip that i can flash.

BTW, you can still install a recovery.img in recovery without it being a flashable .zip...

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vballrkc:

Yes I did. And if you read mine you would know that I asked for a flashable zip. Not a method of flashing a .img from recovery. But thank you for your effort it.is appreciated.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
I did read and I'm well aware of what you're asking for. I even made mention of it in a previous post. The problem here is that Cannibal Open Touch recovery doesn't have a flashable .zip, and there's a strong possibility that installing TWRP will only compound your problems. I'm trying to point you in the right direction, but I'm having trouble understanding your aversion to using the command line, which is essentially faster and more straightforward to begin with.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vballrkc:
Thank you.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vballrkc:
ok, so I'm really trying to avoid using adb or anything, but i may have to before this all said and done. But just for grins I tried flashing an older rom, i believe it was the cm-9 rom, and now it just boot loops. Its not the same issue, just a new one. Any ideas?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
I mentioned earlier that using CWM recovery is not safe to use. There's a bug in some versions that can result in the dreaded EMMC superbrick. Don't use it. On top of that, all of the cm9 roms are quite unstable as well, including issues that can prevent the device from charging.

From the looks of it, your bootloop is from flashing CM9 in CWM, which in most cases, the two aren't compatible. So, before you get yourself into any more trouble, I need to ask....

1) Do you have FireFireFire installed? If so, what version (yellow triangle or blue & white KF logo)?

2) Do you still have access to custom recovery?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vballrkc:
you'll have to pardon my lack of knowledge, as it's been at least a year since i've messed with this and I have several android devices, each with their own set of jargen. I know I HAVE installed firefirefire. as to what version, i'm sorry, I don't know. And I do have access to clockwork recovery, but that's it. I can not get into any rom, i've flashed probably 10 different ones.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Okay, don't flash any more ROMs in clockwork recovery. I can't stress that enough.

In order to move forward from here, you need to be able to communicate with the device over ADB, so open a command prompt, change directories (cd) to the one containing adb.exe, and enter 'adb devices' while booted into recovery Does it show that a device is connected?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vballrkc:
ok hang on, i don't even have adb installed on this computer. been a while since i've used it too. is there a thread in this forum that will help me with that?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vballrkc:
ok, all the threads and "how-to's" i'm finding require that you be able to access the tablets settings to enable ADB. As I cannot do that, i'm not sure what to do now. I mean, is this really that hard? I feel like there is an easy answer out there for me to be able to flash a new recovery....maybe i'm wrong. does ANYONE have an idea on how I can flash a different recovery other then clockwork. Again, I CONNOT do anything on this tablet other then access clockwork recovery andboot loop, that it all.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Swappa is a much more reliable place to purchase phones if you want something that work, they have higher standard and doesn't allow selling defects or broken screen devices.

eBay is good if you want to sell fast since there will be much higher exposure, although the fee will be higher as well, free listing doesn't mean anything in this regard. You can also sell for higher price on eBay than at Swappa, since sometimes there will inevitably be low ballers (who in the past trolled the now defunct XDA market) trying to make low ball offers. I don't think there is much gain over Swappa once you pay off all the ebay/PayPal fees though.

But overall Swappa is a much better experience for me.

a bricked phone is worthless and unrecoverable, it makes a great paperweight/door stop. flashing a kernel that wont boot is not bricking a phone, and not close, and there are many ways to recover from a non booting kernel, nandroid restore being one way. you can also just flash a good kernel or your rom to recover.
