[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pitbull292006:
On here's what you do, as I had the EXACT same problem that you have. I fixed my brickloop by doing the following:

(I would backup your efs partition before doing this, just for completeness sake)*

Installed Stock firmware via Odin,*

Installed TWRP 2.6.3.2 via odin, rebooted to recovery

Did an "adb shell" when phone is in recovery mode to run commands via TWRP

From the ADB shell: Wiped the EFS partition with the following command:

mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p12*

mkdir /efs

mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /efs

(the last two commands probably did nothing, but thats what I did anyway)

Did a Factory Reset*

Then... reboot to system

Afterwards, no more boot looping, the phone successfully registered on the mobile network, and my IMEI is there and correct. Seems like the EFS partition can rebuild itself now I guess...These commands can also be ran from TWRP

Those commands can also be ran from TRWP via the terminal option

I'm going tomorrow to the store, let's see what happens, but I don't understand.. what failed? the TWRP?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pitbull292006:
What version of TWRP are you using
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Quickvic30:
There not going to do anything for you at the store if your Knox counter is tripped, that voids the warranty instantly......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] janjannsen99:
That's not true they don't check anything even you go in there and relaxed a defective device. You just wanna rain on his parade

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Arturofm2:
I'm using the latest version of teamwin rec. I heard they have problems but when will they release the new version?

I tryied to put the phone back in stock rom and.that.doesn't even work, come on guys, you know more than me about this, what could I do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidkevlar:
Not to sound like a jerk...but this is the reason why companies lock down bootloaders and what not. You can fix this issue that you caused by following a few steps or getting an SDCARD reader for your computer and transfer the files to it that way. They are dirt cheap. It is not Tmobiles fault that you screwed up a flash. Just my 2 cents.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Arturofm2:
Nah its cool bro. So if I get an sdcard reader, what do I do? Because I tried to put it in stock and it didn't work either. How can I fix it then?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidkevlar:
If you get an sdcard reader, then you put your sdcard in there, transfer the kernel file that someone mentioned before over to it, put it back into your phone, get into recovery, then flash that file and the other steps he mentioned. You can also try putting a different ROM on there as well and doing a complete wipe, including system and then installing the ROM. Its pretty hard to brick a device now days. Just have patience and you can recover your device. I have soft bricked over 10 devices, some on purpose since I was helping devs to recover from these issues, and each time I was able to get my device back into working order. Just remember, doing this will teach you about your device. That is why I used to do it to mine since you never know when you will be in a pinch.

Side note: If I can help a buddy with 0 experience un softbrick (which your device is, its not hard bricked) in a difference country, you can do it buddy. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Quickvic30:
Yeah that's my goal to rain on his parade :rolleyes:

I know if he brought that phone into at&t they would check it on the spot.....Not sure about T-Mobile but I'm pretty sure they will look into that phone further down the road to see what happen and that phone is connected to his info, just my 2 cents.

Anyways this phone is easily fixable like others have stated, he just needs to do some research. All he needs is a SD card adapter which should have came with his micro SD card and a computer/laptop that has a slot for the sd card adapter which every computer has these days.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] janjannsen99:
I just went and did an exchange at the store. I said it boots over and over. They're sending a phone overnight. They didn't go into boot loader I restored to stock all they did was power it on and off charged me 5 dollars on my next bill and I will have a phone tomorrow.

Bam

Go buy one at office depot for 10 dollars. Called an sd card reader. Sheesh
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Arturofm2:
Thank you very much for the help guys, I'm working now, when I'm going to bestbuy to buy the reader and then I'll do it at home
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Quickvic30:
Is he going to the same exact store as you and dealing with the same exact employee? More than likely not, every store is different as is every employee.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] janjannsen99:
Great post. But more likely than not he's not going to have a single problem. I'll bet you on it. 500 dollars
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Arturofm2:
Guys I'm not going to the store. You gave me enough info to fix it. I'll try to fix it and leave.the store for the last resource
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Arturofm2:
I did that, and when it tries to load the desktop, it says: process system isn't responding, do you want to close?

I tried with the green one and the red one that came out today, also with the compulsion kernel. I tried to flash the wicked rom and it stops in the same process: : "process system isn't responding, do you want to close?"

I remember that I wiped back then: Dalvik Cache, System, Data, Internal storage, cache and then I clicked on "Format data" and then I did a factory reset. So now I wonder, was this the problem?

EDIT:

I went to T-Mobil and they will give me a new one, it comes in 2 days. I don't have time to be the tester, now I lost the connection with 2 girls that was talking to, there goes my weekend... They gave me an old one as a loaner.

Thanks for all the help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Quickvic30:
Did you try using odin to flash the stock firmware? Its too late now anyways. Glad they helped you out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] darkjedi:
Why would you root and flash your device if you don't really know what you're doing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Arturofm2:
Yeah man, I tried this:

Sabergreen kernel, the new one (saber red), I tried 3 different roms, I tried to unroot it and it didn't even load with the stock one, I tried to restore my 3 back ups and they didn't work, I tried wiping everything and do all this again. Nothing worked... I even bought the micro sd card reader.

Obviously I know what I'm doing, I had a note 2 before, I'm not a complete newbie on this ;) . I did everything correct and I had 3 different backups of 3 different roms in case and even a backup of the original firmware.

Anyways... it comes this monday :)

Thanks again to all
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jellyhead:
I just got the Samsung Multimedia Dock EDD-S20EWEGSTD

I don't know if it is supposed to work this way but if it is, then it's garbage. The problem I'm having is that the USB ports only work when the phone is fully charged. I tried the OEM charger cable/adapter as well with the same result. I thought the USB ports were defective but later tried it after the phone had fully charged and everything worked as it was supposed to. I thought it was because I had used a different HDMI cable and plugged it into a different monitor but the next time I tried it the USB ports weren't working again. The only thing that changed is that the phone isn't fully charged now.

DO the USB ports work if the HDMI isn't connected? I tried to see if it would work as a multi charger but there was no output from the USB ports at all when the HDMI wasn't plugged in.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patass:
It had clockwork mod on it, so I downloaded TWRP from their site and flashed it via clockwork mod and now the boot image get's all crazy and flickers and then black screens. I can still get into download mode so I guess it's odin for me. It's the GT-N7100 model. What version of Odin and which image do I use? I'm in the USA using T-Mobile. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stonedead:
Use the right one for your phone, N7100. Try flash it with odin. If it still in bootloop, flash cf-auto root through odin, usually it will boot after auto root process done. Hope this help...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patass:
I meant what country's firmware, mostly, since I didn't see anything for the U.S and I don't have any info about this phone other than that it's the gt-n7100. Anyway, I got past that bootloop, I used some UK firmware, kinda bootlooping between some o2 splash screen and a samsung logo now. I can get into recovery though.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patass:
Ok, I'm not boot looping anymore, just did a factory reset in the stock recovery and it worked.

Now I have another issue - I put my sim in, and it starts up and I have HSPA+. Then it drops to 3g after like 30 seconds, and in the initial setup I can't connect to any services to set up my accounts - it just flat out doesnt work. Then I get into the system after skipping all that and I have no data at all, and when I make phone calls it just hangs at dialing. What do I do? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Febby:
I just wanted to give out some advice to those that need the AWS mod to use your ATT S4 on Tmobile or another country carrier that uses AWS. You shouldn't flash the MJ6 modem as currently when attempting to restore the QNC file via QPST results with an error at 5% of flashing.

I'm not sure that is it possible to downgrade if you're on official MF3 but mostly likely you might with odin but this is just a piece of advice so you don't waste your time if you require AWS.

Been out of the game for a little bit due to a broken s4 but my question tonight is should I just stay at Rooted MDL or update to MF3?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jonman11:
Don't do it

I STRONGLY recommend for you to stay at MDL, because as of this moment, there is no bootloader unlock for MF3, so that means no custom ROMS or kernels, unless you want to use SafeStrap. If custom ROMS don't matter to you, update. But remember, if you get TWRP, you can always flash an MF3 ROM and get it, while keeping your bootloader unlock. Try it. If you don't need custom ROMS and other cool stuff, update.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aftrumpet:
Hello, I am running unofficial Cyanogenmod 10.1 on my DHD and it has been working fine up until today.

This may have started when I took a picture with the phone this morning. The camera flashed 3 times, even though I hit the "take picture" button once. Then the phone was hotter then usual and the battery drained faster. Once the battery was gone, I plugged the phone in to a power source, let it charge for a bit, and turned the phone on. It continually plays the CM boot animation until it runs out of power or has the battery taken out.

Any ideas on how to fix this, or boot into recovery for that matter? Has anyone else experienced something similar?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TellaReese:
Hi. My little brother had a similar problem where his phone was working fine and then got stuck on the logo probably cos of a virus or something. So what I did was just take out the battery.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TellaReese:
Your welcome. By the way. You should download setCPU to limit the amount of power that goes to your phone at a certain point in time. Because most of the time our phones use too much power especially when not needed mostly on custom ROMs. And this could lead to all sorts of problems. Stay safe yo

All roms are good for everything, it is up to the user(s) to try each one to see which one benefits them the most.

As these roms get closed as they become arguments over which rom is better, this thread is closed.

I have the Chinese version of the Galaxy S4 (I9508), and I can not install CWM Recovery by Odin. I downloaded the version of CWM to my phone, and when I install by Odin appears that everything went right. But when I try to boot into Recovery mode starts an android screen with the following options: Reboot System now / Apply update from ADV / Apply update from external storage / Wipe data Factory reset / wipe cache partition / Apply update from cache.

Do not know if it can be, but when I enter the Odin mode (Download Mode) appears on the screen: Write Protection: Enabled. And I have activated USB debugging.

Accoring to the info youve provided, the recovery hasnt flased at all.

Try reflashing the recovery specific for your phone. Not all recoveries will work.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentdeep:
If you are rooted and

know which block your recovery is located

(in my S4 GT-I9515 it is located at mmcblk0p21), extract the cwm recovery.img to the root of your sdcard, download Terminal Emulator and type this command:

su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21
reboot recovery

Be very make sure you know which block your recovery is located and replace mmcblk0p21 according to your device model.

This is a very risky procedure and it could brick your device.

I installed my CWM recovery with the above command.

Good Luck!

I found this recovery by accident, actually.

There's a method of removing signature verification from this for the Captivate, as seen at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=909213

If this same method (removing signature verification) could be used for the 3e recovery on the VZW S4, would it then be possible to flash things (MDK) on phones that have ME7 and MI1?

Downloading an MDK zip overnight, horrible internet here. If anyone else wants to give it a shot or even make a suggestion, please go for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
This won't work.

The bootloader will not run an unsigned recovery. If you're running MDK, you can use the loki technique to bypass that and install a custom recovery, but anything past MDK will not allow a custom recovery to start up.

The post you're pointing to is an updated recovery that allows unsigned zips (ROMs, updates, etc.) to be flashed. That's not going to help us.
[Sony Smartwatch] jschall:
When I try to read a notification, the screen times out in about 5 seconds. Too short to read the message. Is there a way to increase the timeout to a reasonable value, like 10 seconds, for example?
[Sony Smartwatch] joshoon:
Unfortunately Sony has not made this option yet.

And since there is no source out yet, developers can't script it by their selfes.

All you can do right now is wait, and hoping that Sony will bring out an update with this option.

Although, I am pleasured with the 5 seconds.

You must have really long notifications I guess?

When you are planning to read it more carefully, you could tap the screen, and then it will stay a bit longer, that's how I do it.

Thanks, Joshoon. I will try the tap trick. Either the RSS news from the CBC are too long, or I read too slowly ;)

Sony never did anything to add features for SW1 so I doubt very much we get any for SW2... Sony opened up SW1 but provided no source code so the project was dead before it got started.
[Sony Smartwatch] xetiro:
I believe that this case is different.

SmartWatch 2 its a 2nd generation device were Sony already showed off some features that were not included on the final realease. This could indicate that Sony has choosed to play safe in order to have a little more time to continue develop them and possible enable them to developers as well.

In last case I think its important that Sony realease at least the monocromatic display feature for developers :) I mean...that feature could be the differentiation point to other watches :)
