Yeah, this is beginning to get on my nerves. Resetting has made *no* difference for me. In fact, I just re-flashed the whole freaking update and first webpage I open up in Chrome, pop ups, switch to dolphin, pop ups, firefox, pop ups. It's happening on two devices and one isn't even rooted. Are your pop ups from ib.adnxs.com as well? Because that's where all my "virus" pop ups are from. I would say it's malware but I haven't even the slightest idea where it might have came from. As of right now the only apps on my devices apart from the pre-installed ones are Greenify, Solid Explorer, Quickpic, Stickmount, SuperSU, Dropbox and ZArchiver. Never had malware with any of these apps so I don't even know where this ib.adnxs is generating from and it's annoying the ever living **** out of me.

I don't know if I should suspect the GEL or the Google Search update, because really I can't think of where else this is coming from.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] tgyberg:
Not sure where they are from, now I cant get the pop up to happen! :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] GSLEON3:
1. Where did you get the "stock" image?

2. Where did you get the update OTA?

I only ask because yesterday I DL'd a "stock" image for another device from Sammobile & I found that it had some host file changes. The odd thing was that for the first time I can remember, my corporate security client wouldn't let me DL it as it detected a risk, so I dl'd to an isolated secure drive & tore into it, hence finding the modified hosts.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] psychedelicNerd:
So I did a brief search on ib.adnxs and a bunch of links came up talking about malware affecting browsers. Mostly pop ups happening everytime you open a web page or a new tab.

http://malwaretips.com/blogs/nym1-ib-adnxs-com-virus/

Check this out. If you google on "ib.adnxs android", there is a link that talks about android browsers been affected by it too.

Hope it helps.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mi7chy:
Probably malware infected ad server and has nothing to do with the image as long as you got it from a legit source. You can reduce your risk by using something like OpenDNS servers.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Analyss14:
Sorry for the late reply. Yeah, I looked it up as well but man it's still frustrating. I Know it' not the OTA or the GEL/Google Search because I got them from a legit source (AP), I was just venting. I don't even know if it is the servers, no one else in the household is experiencing it, hell even my note 2 doesn't have the problem. I'll try using OpenDNS to see if it makes any difference.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Dawei87:
Does running a virus scan with avast or lookout show any infections?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Analyss14:
I tried running Avast and MalwareBytes and nothing comes up, but I'm still getting the same pop ups, both "virus detected, scan now" and almost full page pop up ads that I can never close. Seriously, trying to close the ads just takes me to a new page, backing out is the only thing that works for some of them. I'm stumped. SuperSU is updated so no worries there. I even went back and locked my bootloader but I don't think that has anything to do with it since the second tablet isn't even unlocked. I'm beyond frustrated, I almost threw my Nexus on the hardwood. I'm going to try flashing the factory images straight from Google. Don't expect it to change anything but...I'm using my note 2 in the mean time.

I'm the only person in the household with android tablets (the phones seems to be fine oddly enough but then again none of them are updated to kitkat). My friend has a Nexus 5 so I'm going to get her over here on my wifi to see if the pop ups show up in her browsers. Maybe this thing has been on the servers all along and there's a vulnerability in kitkat that's allowing it through? I don't know.

Most places, where I have no service with the Note 3, I do have service with the Note 2 and BlackBerry Q10.

Also, on the Note 3 I have never seen "4G" in the status bar above only "H+", while on my Note 10.1 2014 I see it everywhere. Yes, I have the network set to LTE.

No such issue here.

The new update did seem to reduce the signal strength, 50% 4G where I first had 90%, but on the other hand T-Mobile is also still installing 4G and it hadn't been officially launched yet, (which they're doing today) so that could also have been the case.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] hinds:
I have just gone throught the documentation on upgrading a BA (PDA2k) to WM5.

In describing part of the process, in the Section on Hardreset based on Screen Information, we are told, "If you are done, press the mail button, it'll show a white screen for a while, just wait." My concern is that the bottom row of Hardware buttons on my device no longer work, including of course the mail button.

If I were to try the upgrade what would I do at the time that i am required to press the mail buttom?

Is there some other action that achieve the same result or will I be stuck waiting for something that will never happen?

Hi XDA community. I am going to describe my problem, and see who else has the same issue/what remedies are possible.

I have been using CM10.1 Stable for a long time with no problems whatsoever.

Lately, i moved to CM10.2, when the problems started. My phone cant connect to my home network, but is ok with connecting to my gf's phone via wifi hotspot. I said wth i will do stock install 4.4. Then CM11 couldnt connect either.

Back to CM10.2, back to .84 radio (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2087227&highlight=radio), wipe data/cache/dalvik, phone unable to connect to WiFi network at home.

Has anyone experienced this behaviour have any recommendation as to what to look for?

I dont mind flashing stock 4.4 again, but i really got used to CM. I have to mention that another ROM based on CM10.2 works fine with wifi.

Any help for a fellow XDA'er?

Cheers!

How to recover from bootloop?

My phone is a Starmobile Icon (a rebanded i-mobile IQ1.1).

It happened when i installed the Chainfire3d.

i dont have any backups yet :crying:

any help will appreciated. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nasheich Xfiles:
from your device, i'm not you'll find the way to fix it.

better you go to the service center of your device
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samarpan:
no way

No way u can recover to your older state if u don't have a nandroid mate. .

:(

U should have opted for a nandroid.

1 solution....

Download the stock Rom zip file for ur phone.. (if it's available in xda)

I guess you have either Cwm or twrp recovery...

Pull the battery out...

Take out the memory card...

Put it in a card reader and from ur pc transfer ur stock rom(provided u find d it and download it... Or better download a custom Rom for ur ph from xda if it's available) zip file into ur mem card.

Put it back in the phone.

Put in the battery.

Boot into recovery(probably volume up and power key pressed together... Not sure for ur ph... Google it)

Flash the zip from sd card.

This is an alternative to going to the service centre.

But sorry mate o way to get the data back, except what was in ur mem car
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bladeuser7:
You dont have to install any rom if you want to stay stock, just get in recovery mode and press wipe data/factory reset.your phone will lose all settings,apps and files except what you have in memory card,it will be just like when you bought your phone.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franz19:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maniknarang:
To flash a custom rom you always need a .zip file

what if i will get any android backups from the same unit? will it work?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samarpan:
From what I found out there is no custom rom for your phone in xda. There is one for star mobile astra.

One thing... Rar file won't work...weren't there any procedures written in the forum from where you took it?

If not.. U can try changing the extension to .zip manually..

Then put it into ur so card and flash it through recovery

sadly they didnt have any tutorials how to do it.

here's the link where i downloaded the file

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franz19:
anyways. thanks men. maybe ill just bring it to the nearest service center.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fathertomany:
If it is a rom for your phone and the extension is rar then extract it, download 7zip and rezip it with that. If it is not the right rom for you're device then you will need the stock rom. Factory reset would work if you had the correct rom. I'm afraid that it is the wrong rom.

Sent from my Skinny Hercules
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franz19:
then after that, what should i do sir?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samarpan:
Flash the zip through recovery... I guess you have either Cwm or twrp.

At first take out your mem card, put it in card reader or any other ph.

Connect it to pc.. Copy the rom zip file to mem card..

Pit it back in ur ph... Start recovery... Choose install zip from sd card.. Choose the zip... Install it

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

This will only work if your download rom is correct.

If this doesn't work, I'm afraid... You'll have to visit the service centre ..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franz19:
will it work using the stock recovery options?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samarpan:
Didn't you mention your phone was rooted??!!

From where does stock recovery come if your phone is rooted?!

You cannot root without custom recovery (clockworkmod or twrp)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3db1t:
Greetings!

So, I just recently got my Note 3 after having to suffer for 2 years using an apple product ( which I hated ) , I had previous experience with rooting / loading ROMS on a Moto Droid X.

So I used Root De La Vega initially and rooted my phone with no problems.

Then I got the stupid software update notification that would pop up every 5 minutes on my phone and would only let me install now or schedule a time if I hit cancel. So I bit the bullet and installed the update, then used Kingo to re-root.

Everything worked, Knox still set to 0x0

I started looking into Safe Strap, I installed it , downloaded Jelly Bean ROM , and thought I had picked the first slot and went to install it, only to find out that I just installed it into the Stock Partition. By then it was to late, I was afraid to pull the battery so I just decided to see what happened.

Jelly Bean Rom installed , I kept all my apps and settings. But now every time I reboot my phone I get a screen that says Safe Strap is disabled , and to enter recovery or continue. Both work, if I select Recovery, I go into the Safe Strap menu, if I click on Continue the Jelly Bean Rom loads.

But I am wondering if this is for lack of a better term, a "clean" set up? I have the stock firmware downloaded, so I was wondering if I should ( or could ) Odin back to stock , then re-root , Safe Strap and then load roms correctly ( as in , not over stock ) and if that would be the correct way to do it?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
yes odin back to stockJ7 and start over. Brandonz has nice tutorial in the general section on setting up SafeStrap correctly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3db1t:
Thanks, I kind of thought starting over was the best thing to do. XDA has so much content it can be hard to filter through all of the noise to get solid answers.

Should Odin just be a plug in and reflash type of deal, or am I going to have to go into the phone, disable root , uninstall SS , then Odin? If I uninstall SS will I still be able to boot back into the stock partition?

Also the Firmware I got was posted earlier this week, it is ALL_N900VVRUBMI9_1671014_REV03 , do I need a different one?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haza12d:
That firmware is MI9. I think that You are currently on MJ7 because you took the update and had to root with Kingo. If you flash the MI9 fw, you will soft brick.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vinceee:
Hi,

First of all I'm new here so please don't be too hard on my nooby actions from the past.

I have a rooted Galaxy S3 and 6 months ago I wanted to flash custom roms. I've read a lot about it and thought I couldn't do anything wrong anymore, so I made a nandroid backup (to switch roms when I wanted to).

Now here comes the noob part I didn't read about or I've looked over, my stock rom was android version 4.1.2, and the new rom was 4.2, when I wanted to go back to stock I softbricked my Galaxy s3, it was stuck in a bootloop.

I managed to get into Clockwerk Recovery and fix it, though I don't remember how I did it. I ended up with a factory resetted stock rom, but I was happy everything worked again!

So everything was okay and now that a new update will be available, I wanted to check if the update was available in my country yet, but my phone said that it wouldn't update because my phone is customized, so I checked in download mode and it says flash count 1, custom binary and custom system storage.

Is there a way I can get my updates again without factory resetting my phone again or without flashing the stock rom again?

I would like my phone how it is now with all its data, but just be able to get the official updates.

Oh and I freezed some system apps and bloatware with app quarantine, maybe that's important too.

thanks in advance for the help!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
No, you can't get official ota updates unless your phone is unmodified, yours is very much modified.

If you want to go back to full stock, unroot and remove flash count then there are guides in general forum, stickies. You'll lose all your data in the process.

Instead just flash the 4.3 stock rom using odin, you might not even need to factory reset doing this. Follow the guides again, back up your efs first.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlackingVeteran:
you must be rooted first and make the flash counter 0. use triangle away for that. would be better to follow some guides available here at xda..

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------

just by flashing 4.3 stock firmware from odin wont work, he will need to factory reset, else he may be stuck in boot loop..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vinceee:
Okay so if I understand correctly: I can't get the official updates directly from samsung, unless I factory reset + flash stock rom again (because now I'm also on stock but download mode says custom) + triangle away + unroot?

Now all I want is the official stock rom 4.3 of the Galaxy S3 + root (doesn't matter if it's done via odin), without losing what I have now.

Is this possible to do in any way?

I would think of

1. making a full nandroid backup

2. titanium backup

3. flash 4.3 rom + root

4. restore via titanium backup

will this work for what I want as a result?

I will read some guides too if I know that this is the way to go, I just want to be sure of everything before I do anything, I don't want to screw things up like last time..

And can I choose what 4.3 I download? (European or even more specific like Belgium in my case?)
