What firmware are you on?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velein:
I was using this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2348272

But i've tried to wipe data and cache, and restore backup. Maybe it will work to install the ROM again?

I think i need to edit the build.prop file and chance the DPI back to 480, but i can't mount USB storage, so i don't know what to dog

thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Your using custom roms in twrp or cwm recovery? If so then you're on mdl firmware. Try to re-flash the rom. If that doesn't work you might have to odin the stock mdl firmware
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velein:
I do not have the ROM on my sd-card, so i can't reflash. I can't mount usb storage, so i can't copy the ROM to my SD Card. I don't care if i lose everything, or have to go on stock mdl firmware.

Just tell me what to do, to fix my phone, and i'll do that - it's a lot of money to lose :(

That only way i can connect the phone to my PC is with odin, and then the ID-COM is not green but yellow. Hope it gives you some more info, otherwise just ask.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Yellow comm is ok as long as the port shows up. Go to sammobile.com and download the mdl firmware. You'll have to register but it's free. Then use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from the zip you'll download. Use that file in the PDA slot in Odin.

There is no mdl firmware for GT-I9505 which is my phone.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
I assumed you had an i337. Let me look at sammobile

Edit, what country and carrier are you?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velein:
Allright!

So i tried to mount usb storage one last time in CWM - In windows i opened device manager, and found a device called SamsungPHONE or somehting like that which had a yellow triangle, so i tried to update and find a driver. And then suddenly it worked! I copied the ROM to my SD card, and when that it had finished copying i wiped data and cache.

then i installed the zip, and rebooted! AND it works!! Finally, goddamn i was scared at that point!

Thanks for the help so far jd1639 - i almost gave up, but then you came!

Now one more thing: I don't want to be en this situation again, so how can i install TWRP without screwing everything up?

CWM is no longer an option for me!

THANKS AGAIN jd1639

(It might seem simple, but when things like this happens, I definitely am too big a noob. :P

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to display the kernel boot messages on the screen of a Nexus 7 (2013). I believe I need to compile a new kernel and update the command line to do so, but I'm unsure of what to set. Does anyone have any ideas?

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Samwhaaa:
I wonder if anyone can help me with this issue.

I recently aquired a Qtek 1010 and everything appears to be working fine except for one extremely frustrating problem.

Sometimes the sound drops out. Not just for phone calls but for everything. I can't hear alerts, incoming calls, calls in general or any other system sounds.

I've been through the Boot loader and tested the sound and it works perfectly and tests fine but still doesn't work in the normal mode.

Device details are:

ROM version: 3.18.04 ENG

ROM date: 05/22/03

Radio Version: 3.25.01

Protocol version: 32S54

Please help me!!

Hello there Xperia SP Users,

Now we all know that we are having a disappointing camera, maybe its only the software,

Here are some tips to drastically improve image quality,

1.) Update Your Firmware/Software to latest version.

2.) Please Turn off Mobile Bravia Engine (It just increases saturation and contrast while viewing pictures in Gallery/Album App which also increases the noise)

3.) While using camera set options as follows,

Scene Mode : Normal

Resolution : As your preference, 8MP/7MP or 5MP

Flash : Off (Turn it off for except very very low light)

Self-Timer : Off

Focus Mode : Touch

While Balance : Daylight (Gives pictures a slight warm effect)

HDR : On or Off

ISO : 100 or 200 (100 is recommended)

Exposure :	+2.0 if ISO - 100 +1.0 if ISO - 200

Metering : Spot

Image Stabilizer : Off

4.) Take your pictures using these settings.

5.) You might notice that you need to change ISO or Exposure Settings after clicking every pic, do it.

6.) Pictures will be much better than before. :o

7.) Final Touches - if you use Aviary(Image Editing App) , Edit Picture > Enhance > Balance

You will find that the picture looks rich and enhanced, please note this balance effect will only look

good if you've used "Daylight" as White Balance while capturing the picture.

8.) Further in Aviary you can decrease the sharpness to one to two stages (reduces noise details).

I hope Sony improves the camera in next updates (Android 4.3 or next firmware update) :rolleyes:

Please leave your comments below or post your before and after pictures. :highfive:
[Xperia SP General] guiips:
Yeah, but the low ISO implies in low light reaching the sensor, that's results in lag and delay to take shot. The high exposure makes the white too bright and overexposed.

Am I wrong?

I'm in CM 10.1, and you can adjust the shutter speed, it makes a lot difference and improves photos.

I've uploaded two images; Auto means all settings are in automatic; custom means I adjusted the parametters. Check it out.

Hello Guys

Anyone know why my Os version is red line otherwise green...

look my picture please

thank you for ur response
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gffmac:
Maybe its saying your installed system version doesn't match the one that came with the hboot version. Maybe the tampered is something to do with it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
This guy had a similar problem: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2493798&highlight=os+red+text

But then again, yours looks pretty weird: you bootloader is showing two firmware versions: 2.24.401.8 and (3.62.401.1) :confused: AND ON TOP OF THAT you're S-On, so you cannot flash unsigned firmware.

were you trying to flash a signed firmware package by any chance?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ankorez:
i check it

thank you
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ankorez:
yes i have flash firmware from here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2182823

and he say : Can I flash this firmware.zip on any HTC One?

in your thread the guy say he's fixed with gruureset but i don't found on the forum :(
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
But he was S-Off. You are S-On -> very dangerous flashing firmware with S-On, as you can only flash signed firmware, and only upgrade NO DOWNGRADE.

would I be correct in assuming you did the following commands:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip

fastboot reboot

as opposed to:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip

fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip <- yes it has to be done twice, the first one will report failed, the second should succeed.

fastboot reboot

?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ankorez:
yes it's my problem ! i have do this only

would I be correct in assuming you did the following commands:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip

fastboot reboot

---------------

i 've found that http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/

you think if i flash it my problem solved?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
The Guru Reset will flash stock ROM (and stock recovery and radio, if you select them in the installer), but it may not solve the firmware issue.

I am just guessing, but because you only ran the "fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip" once, your firmware may be in a state of limbo (if I can call it that):

on one hand it was prepared to upgrade to 3.62.401.1 and that's why it's in the brackets, but since you didn't run the fastboot command another time it actually stayed on 2.24.401.8, and that why you have two different firmware versions in bootloader; one installed 2.24.401.8 another "waiting" to be installed 3.62.401.1. (all this is only a theory)

So what are the options now? Since you were trying to upgrade your firmware (even with S-On, which I take is your preference to stay S-On), I guess you should do it, but this time do it correctly and run the fastboot command twice and make sure it reports success the 2nd time around.

Here's what I would recommend (taking into account you do not wish to S-Off),

1- do a nandroid of your phone, then backup everything to your PC (including the nandroid), just in case.

2- update the firmware, but correctly this time

3- depending on what ROM you were on, either restore it, or get an updated version for your firmware

And actually, before that, if you just want to test the Guru Reset:

1- do a nandroid of your phone, then backup everything to your PC (including the nandroid), just in case.

2- flash Guru Reset and see if that works out for you

Those are pretty much my thoughts :rolleyes:

PS: when I say backup everything to PC, it's because (sometimes) flashing stock recovery will completely wipe your phone including internal storage (not to mention that unlocking bootloader does that too)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Quite right it was you, sorry I didnt help out, but I honestly didnt know what the problem was. Only after seeing this guy's screen with two different versions and S-ON, did I think it was an incomplete firmware flash.

Might have been the case with you as well, but I couldnt tell cause the versions were the same, and you were S-Off.

Anyway, lesson learned.

Just read this piece of news on GSMArena.

http://www.gsmarena.com/google_debuts_art_in_kitkat_aims_to_change_android-news-7143.php

Android Run Time is available in KitKat 4.4 and might well replace Dalvik cache in the future Android versions. :good: It is expected to cut app start up times in half. :D

Looks it is going to be an interesting run-up to Galaxy S5! Samsung is also investing in improving Touchwiz and rumors are it will introduce ISOCELL camera as well.
[Galaxy S 4 General] negrobembon:
yeah, with all these changes and samsung finally deciding to fix touchwiz, the S5 might be a truly awesome device( but so will the other flagships from other brands)

the competition will be intense next year
[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
Unless there's a GE it won't be.
[Galaxy S 4 General] negrobembon:
a GE would be awesome but the touchwiz version is what matters the most to Samsung because most of galaxy flagships sales come from the touchwiz version, most people don't even know the S4 had a google edition

some don't even know the difference between 9500 or 9505, all they see is an S4, this is people that matters the most to Samsumg, the average consumer
[Galaxy S 4 General] Bordo_Bereli51:
+1 Yeah You are right!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Flo354:
this is realy a great news !
[Galaxy S 4 General] sorg:
And when ART will replace dalvik finally, you can say bye bye to android modding, at least to the way as it's done now. ROMs will come pre-compiled into ART like it's now done in dalvik (odex). Dalvik can be easily decompiled into text almost like source code, while ART will be native code and won't be decompiled the same way. It will require disassemble and hex patching which is not portable even between ROMs of the same device.
[Galaxy S 4 General] manast:
By modding, I assume you mean changing the appearance of the ROM through patches, Wanam Xposed etc. Right?

Custom ROM's like CM will continue to exist and become even better I guess ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] sorg:
Yep, i mean modding of stock ROM (adding new functionality, not only appearance) with full hardware features enabled. ROMs like CM/AOSP with crippled functionality will probably continue to exist, but don't expect the same freedom as now. Even CM/AOSP ports are based on hacks and info taken from dalvik de-compilation. When new devices with ART-only engine will appear, don't expect quick port of CM/AOSP.

Having dalvik code is almost like having source code. You can compare how many mods are based on dalvik code modifications and binary (*.so files) modifications. I would say 100:1 or even 1000:1.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prawnguevara:
I don't want to switch back to Nova because it's missing some of the newer features and is an extra ram pig. But surely you can't patent swipe down for notifications?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuclearmonkeyuk:
The thing is android phones have been using swipe down for notifications for a millennia now.. IOS brought it in around ios4 I believe.. Then slapped a patent on it straight away. I hate apple purely for their business ethics. Trying to bury every other company that is a threat to them. Google and android is and always has been a friendly company allowing their designs and innovations to be used by all.

For example a polish company that gives out free fruit and veg to the poor and needy across Poland were sued and put out of business by apple purely because they're website was ap.pl and had a similar logo. This is a charity that has nothing to do with the mobile phone market!!

Apple suck.. Charge ridiculous amounts for their products.. Bring nothing new and innovative with their products.. Are as boring as their founder and are being outsold by Samsung alone never mind the rest of the android phones out there..
