[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bluejackets:
Just want to check if anyone here has come across with the following issues...

I recently flashed my SGS2 with ShoStock3 ROM (big thanks to shoman94) + Siyah kernel (big thanks to gokhanmoral). It runs smoothly and seems to have no noticeable issues. However, I noticed these three issues after some go through:

1. Shostock custom boot animation doesn't run at start up. I tried to change the bootanimation.zip using the Root Explorer, but nothing happened.

2. Microphone (when using Google Now voice and Viber) doesn't work. I looked through every settings and found nothing's wrong except that.

3. I can't take a video using the video feature in Instagram, which I didn't bother to check how come.

What I did was reboot my phone into recovery and re-flashed only the ShoStock3 ROM. After I restarted the phone, shostock boot animation showed up and I tested voice feature in Google Now and it worked. Then, I tried the video feature in Instagram and voila, it worked too.

I'm not really sure if they are directly caused by Siyah kernel, therefore, I ask if anybody here has come across with these similar issues. I really like the Siyah kernel coz of CWM and STweaks and I'm wanting to revert to that if I find a resolution to the above issues.

My hardware details:

Samsung Galaxy S II AT&T SGH-i777

Version 4.1.2

Baseband i777UCLK3

ROM ShoStock3 XWLSD v2.5.1

Kernel (Present) Jeboo

Kernel (affected) Siyah Kernel v7.9
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 4-2ndtwin:
The kernel u were trying to use is for the i9100.

The kernel to use is AJK 4.9 MicSwap, found in the Development forum. It is for the i777. Link --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36993409

Thanks for the info. I'd give the MicSwap a try and see how it goes. :good:

re: external sdcard

Have you removed the external sdcard and plugged it into a card reader or adapter

and into your computer yet? There is a chance that all is good, if it is you need to

copy all files and folders from from the card to computer as a backup.

Another thing you can try is to connect the phone using usb cable to your computer and

with the computer see if all the files look normal, if they do then again do the above.

If your external card is 32/64GB and has NOT been formatted using FAT32 format and

the files are unusable then you need to format it using your computer with a fat32

formatter. (free windows utility).

Here is the download link in case you need it: http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/guiformat.exe

I have seen external sdcards which got corrupted due to not being formatted with FAT32.

good luck!

I use the Energizer 3 position at work for my N7 and Galaxy S4. It does the job. Oddly enough, my mother bought that for me in 2010 when everything needed a special sleeve to work with it (bless her, she didn't know that at the time). Now after it sitting in a drawer for 3 years I can finally use it.

Anyway, I don't know it's worth buying one of those or just getting two smaller Qi chargers that would still end up less than one big one.

I managed not only brick one, but two SM-N9005, trying to do the Root de la Vega (yes, I used the right files).

After entering download mode, Odin failed after a short time (blue status bar was 2mm long).

Now the phone only says: Firmware upgrade encountered an issues. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.

But:

- Kies recovery fails

- I can't go into recovery mode, only download mode.

- Can't install stock ROM with Odin, fails as well.

- Can't CF-Auto-Root, Odin fails.

Note: Reactivation lock is OFF.

Any ideas? :confused:

There is no error message on the display... that's exactly the text I see as well.

The only things that happens on the display the moment ODIN displays "FAIL", the blue progress bar freezes... I'd day it doesn't get further than 1-2%.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toker_X1:
Normally there should be a red line with the error code/message.

All I can suggest is you try flashing stock rom using the several files (Kernel, PDA, CSC) method if you already havent done so already.

Would you kindly be able to provide a link to the procedure you are referring to?

I have attached a picture of my bricked screen... I either see this one or the download screen.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Why didn't you use ODIN 3.09 like guide here on XDA says?

Have you tried with that version?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toker_X1:
Thats not 'Download Mode', thats phone firmware recovery mode.

Can you get to 'Download Mode'? - ie. Green Andriod Robot screen? (Pull out the battery, Vol Down, Home and Power)

When I soft brinked my phone, I eventually got it working by doing this..

1) Boot into 'Download Mode'

2) Using Odin 3.09 flash Stock Kernel (my kernel file was 'KERNEL-BTU-N9005XXUBMJ3-1381515654.tar'), this enabled boot to 'Recovery Mode' where is was not working before.

3) Using Odin 3.09 flash CSC (my CSC file was 'N9005OXABMJ3_CSC.tar.md5')

4) Boot into 'Recovery Mode' and wipe all (System, Data, Cache etc..)

5) Using Odin 3.09 flash Stock Firmware (my file was 'N9005XXUBMJ3_N9005OXABMJ1_N9005XXUBMJ2_HOME.tar.md5') - this will fail.

6) Using Kies 3 Beta - Perform a 'Emergency Firmware Recovery', recovery code is required - this got be back to normal

Hope this helps.

Alright, so I've tried the search function, as well as going through the first 23 pages of the AHD troubleshooting forums, but so far I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for.

So here we go,

I have a AHD, it is completly stock, runs At&t. The other day it just randomly shut down, since then I haven't been able to get it to respond to anything. When I plug it into my computer the computer doesn't even detect that it is plugged in, when I plug it into the charger, the green light doesn't flash. No combination of buttons gets anything to happen. However, When I remove the battery, the green light goes solid when plugging into both the charger, and my PC, also with the battery out, my PC detects that I plug it in; I haven't been able to find a way to access the phone from the computer, but it makes the noise that something has been plugged in.

I've tried different batteries, different chargers ect. to no avail.

If anyone could let me know a possible solution, that would be awesome! Since I'm a year out from an upgrade, and buying a new phone doesn't fit well into the "Poor college kid" budget.

Thanks for any help!

Marshall.

Action memo will not open a new note no matter the route I take. Via Air Command nothing happens when I select action memo and when I open the action memo app from the app drawer clicking "create" does nothing.

I am rooted and have xposed framework installed. I have a couple modules but have disabled them all and rebooted - still nothing. I have cleared app data on all 3 instances of "Action Memo" and tried freezing & defrosting them in all combinations to see if one was causing a problem but nothing changed.

At this point I've given up and am about to defrost all my frozen bloatware and see if that changes anything. I am doubtful as I've inspected each thing and nothing seems to have any connection.

My doubts were confirmed - no frozen / disabled apps left and still no action memo. Tried wiping cache in recovery before and after defrosting all frozen apps. I am at a loss.

Anybody have a clue what is causing this?

***SOLUTION FOUND***

It turns out there should be 4 instances of the app called "Action Memo" when looking at a list of apps, like the list in Titanium Backup. I must have deleted one because when I was having trouble I only had 3. By going to stock and re-rooting my device was wiped and the stock apps were returned. I have all four instances back and everything is working properly. What a boneheaded mistake of mine it was to delete one of them...I really don't remember doing that at any point but I guess I must have. Oops :P

Revert zip to stock purity look (22/03) - just flash in recovery

https://www.dropbox.com/s/d93ru0rdhpi2qmu/PurityKat2203REVERT.zip

BUGS:

On Black theme

:

- some notification icon squares are not black, some apps use their own colors so that might not be fixable

On Vision theme

:

- stock alarm/clock app widgets are black instead of white, for now its not possible to fix this because both UI and widgets uses the same color to display clock

.
