[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] grkgeek:
I assume you have your stuff backed up....

I softbricked my S4 once and I was all but ready to submit a warranty claim and get it replaced then I tried one last thing which was the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant....you know the software that shows up as a drive when you plug your phone in via usb on your pc......well I went into that and told it to do the recovery thing which wiped the phone totally clean........and when the phone restarted I jumped for joy when it displayed the Android Widget with a progress bar on the screen when it was REINSTALLING 4.3 .

Something along those lines would be worth a try if you got your stuff backed up and you are not worried about loosing any root.

I am pretty sure it was the Verizon Software Upgrade assistant and NOT Samsung KIES (which I had installed also.)

You see I have removed them both from my pc and want to make sure I give accurate information so I want to BE CLEAR that there is a chance it was KIES that I used.

Someone on here should respond to confirm which one does what it did for me...wish I was 100% sure and because I am not I don't want to say for sure which one it was......BUT IT WAS ONE OF THEM and like I said the Android Animation showed up with a progress bar when it rebooted which is the same thing one sees when installing an OTA update.

I hope this helps. I know how it is to be in computer hell or the equivalent.

Just me $.02 worth.

Hi just wondering if you had any luck on resolving your issue. By chance do you have that Knox software installed or should I say enabled. I don't use it and have it totally disabled as much as one can while being on stock unrooted version of MJ7.

hi guys

I just upgraded my rom version to 4.01.16 t-mobile. but now i cannot install any software or flash to another rom version. my contacts etc. are beying synchronized. so i really don't know what the problem is

any help?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] xpq:
The T-Mobile ROM doesn't let you change the OS via exe file.

It could only be done now via SD-card.

If you want to change your rom you need an >32MB SD-card [there is no other way now to change OS].

Instructions how to flash ROM via SD are here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_FlashSD
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] theBIGone:
is there any way to do it without an sd card reader in the pc through the sd slot of the xda?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] xpq:
Yup, it is a way to do this by XDA card slot.

You just have to select in osimagetool "XDA SD card slot" in "destination" menu. As source you select OS file that you want to put into SD.

But you have to have itsutils.dll in \Windows on your XDA to do it this way[this file can be found on ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Wallaby/Tools/itsutils.zip (in \build)].

guys, I'm very new to android app development. just made a few very basic apps

A friend asked me about a firewall I'm using, if she can use one on her phone, she's on a samsung galaxy pocket running gingerbread. and I found out there are no firewall apps for her phone that doesn't need root access. but on my nexus 4 (stock JB 4.3) and a indian rebranded device (stock JB 4.2) there are many firewall apps that don't need root access. so it made me think if they could make and app that doesn't need root access for a certain function. why would they create apps that do? what exactly is the difference between creating and app without root access and one that has?
[Java for Android App Development] arpitkh96:
Apps with root access can change and edit the preinstalled system files of your mobile.but without root it is not possible.the apps running on your device are not compatible on gingerbread because app uses the new framework which is not present in gingerbread.otherwise there is no difference .galaxy pocket running 4+ will be able to run those apps

Hi, I've some basic experience regarding rooting and flashing of roms but I have some enquiry before I start flashing on my up and coming nexus 7.

So here are the steps to proceed on:

1st unlock the boot loader using fastboot oem unlock

2nd flashing a custom recovery using fastboot flash recover recovery.img

3rd just do a full wipe and install my downloaded rom and gapps

And I'm done with the steps for flashing on the N7 2013 edition right?

Hi everyone ,

i've been sneeking around this forum since forever and i never needed to post a thread , cuz the answers for my problems were always there . :)

i used to have an S4 But it has been stolen a week ago ., had to go back to my mini plus . and wanted to flash some roms and make it cooler and stuff -_- .

but now i am facing an issue with my GT-s5570i and it prevents me from flashing any new rom , or even wiping data and cache ., the error appears as :

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

and i can't install anything ,. maybe i should mention that i tried to flash a GT-S5570 ROM ., and didnt know it wasn't for my Plus version , and i had status 7 error , so i looked for a solution and found it *removing assert line* and i managed to install the rom ., and it softbricked my phone :D , i don't know if this has anything to do with the error .

i am on stock 2.3.6 ., rooted ., and i can flash into CWM recovery ., but even in CWM That error appears

the phone is working right now , i just want to flash ROMS :( .

it prevents me from doing anything :/ , i've searched and found similar posts but for other phones ., and no answer worked for me :/

sorry for the long post .. . and thanks in advance.

The odin that supports my galaxy mini plus is 1.87 ., i haven't seen the one package in it . unlike 4.38 , but that one doesn't recognize my device.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] F4uzan:
Well, that was epic. You know, your phone (GT-S5570i) wasn't created to handle GT-S5570 ROMs. Both phone is different.

Your phone have different GPU and CPU clock. So original Mini ROM can't be flashed / booted with Galaxy Mini Plus.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ryanperez:
Well. I have the same problems as Nono2cool but.. I'd just flashed the cwm on recovery. Because Odin 4.38 doesn't recognized GT-s5570i. Any help how to install the cwm permanently without going to flash it on stock recovery everytime?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Nono2cool:
from what i noticed from searching , we can't install permanent cwm ., we have to flash into it everytime ., even if odin recognizes the phone i didnt find the file for cwm online .

but about your odin problem , use odin 1.84v , get it from google or i'll get u a link if you can't find it .

i did the same , then realized v4.38 is for the GT-S5570 , Not our GT-S5570i :/

i didn't even know there was something called mini plus and it's different from the normal mini , :D .

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danipoak:
I was notified today that the OTA was ready to install so I told my N7 to go for it. It was almost completed but then I got some message about the installation failed and it had been aborted. I unfortunately did not take not of exactly what the error said and just rebooted thinking there was probably some error with the download. Well now I get the new boot screen like it wants to boot into Kit-Kat but it is endless. I can boot into CWM but that is it right now. I was thinking I would try and do an adb sideload but I don't know how to get my N7 recognized in adb while in CWM. I also read something on here that I might be missing the currents.apk file. If that is the problem I don't know how to get the file onto my N7 since I cannot boot into anything but CWM. What would you all recommend? Should I just do a factory reset? I am trying to avoid that so as to not lose all my saved games but if that's my only option at this point then so be it.

Retry it to try to get the exact error message. I'm currently running into the (i forgot the name)has unexpected contents

In my case I always get a new different error after I find a fix for the previous error.

Hello Friends,

I am in Canada and I am using Samsung T989D (bought from Koodo). I have it rooted with custom rom Slimbean (4.2.2) and using the phone on Fido currently. No issues with the phone.

Planning to make a trip to the US next week and want to make use of ISIS 20% off promotion using Serve.

I am trying to make my phone ISIS ready so that I can get T-Mobile enhanced SIM from US, setup ISIS acct and use it for the promo. Build.prop looks fine to me, I have VPN on my phone which emulates US IP but I do not find ISIS App on Play Store. Also, I am not able to find the NFC related specific files on my phone which are mentioned in following thread -

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2425346

Can someone please guide me some references on what do I need to do to find ISIS app on Play Store? Or will I see only after installing a working T-Mobile SIM and after landing inside the US? Has anyone made ISIS to work using Slimbean ROM and ISIS patch?

Have been googling for last week but have not made much positive progress. Appreciate your help in advance. Please let me know if I missed providing any details.

so i have been a sprint customer for a long time but the issues with data seem to persist (even with the fix in place). roms that it was working on it doesnt after an update or ones that have the fix included it doesnt work at all.

so here is my question, i would be new to gsm (would switch to t-mobile). do you still have to go through the changing of apn's all the time to get data working or does it just work once you boot? I am no noob to the community just to how gsm works. Just looking for a little guidance here. thank you for any help in advance.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
Each ROM will come with some APNs preconfigured, but you can always add the one for your carrier. Once you add it, it's saved until you wipe your data. If the Nexus 4 is any indicator, most ROMs will have the T-Mobile APN built-in, so you usually won't need to worry about it.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aluzcz:
Hello,

because the N5/32GB version for CZ wont be available at least until the next year, I ordered the phone via shipto from US. I thought that google done the homework correctly for the first time and that they will finally have first global device, unfortunately either of us, google end me didn't done the home work correctly.

So now I'm waiting for the US device LG D820 which will work here on the GSM, but its not supporting bands on which the is/will be running in CZ

as following list:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks - cant post URLs :crying:

According what i found on the internet:

Networks (North America) - LG D820

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

CDMA: Band Class: 0/1/10

WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/19

LTE: Bands: 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41

Networks (Rest of World) - LG D821

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8

LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20

And according to the band list in CZ LTE is or will be running on bands 3,7 and 20. From what i have read from other posts, forums, pages, fcc and so on it looks like the device or hw on the device should be able to work on all bands but it acts on localized firmware configuration.

My question is there or would somebody working on a fix which will enable all the LTE bands on the phone, from what i understand its just about flashing the right firmware for the chip so if somebody would found the way if there wont be way to make the phone global would be there way at-lest to flash 821 to 820 and vice-versa? I can survive on the 3G for some time but in other hand in the future i want to use the LTE....

Please feel free to copy & paste from this thread as well to cross link this thread with others threads about this topic.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milan03:
How are you going to enable the lack of physical antenna paths, power amplifiers, and proper RF front end in general for those bands? Two phones are physically different.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aluzcz:
Well my idea was that the phones ale physically same and that the only difference are the enabled bands. Where did you found the details about the physical differences? Please post...

Edit1 Pardon my ignorance but if we are talking about enabling bands on D820:

Networks (North America) - LG D820

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

CDMA: Band Class: 0/1/10

WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/19

LTE: Bands: 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41

I see that this phone have more radios/antennas then the EU spec, or you want to tell me that for each LTE band there is a special dedicated antenna, amp and so on?....

This looks kind a strange to me since i found somewhere else that the phones have same HW, somebody was posting on one of the threads bellow that only difference between 821 and 820 was one resistor and that was even between 32gb and 16gb versions otherwise that person was sending that they are literally the same.

Also these days i would expect that they will not completely develop two different devices. My assumptions are that they don't want to sell the full 13 band phone in the US because of the regulations since LTE is disturbing GPS used by US-US military so because of that some bands are dropped in the US and FCC will not approve such devices, but that are just my wild assumptions since i don't live in US.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corythug:
I can't say for sure whether or not the d820 can be 'unlocked' for more bands or not, but if the d820 and d821 are exactly the same except a software lock on the radios, why would the d821 even exist. Why not just, not lock the radios via software if indeed that is what's happening and boast about having a truly world traveling phone. Again I can't dispute yes or no about the radios existing and being locked or not, just seems illogical if that is the case.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I can. Its a hardware limitation. The US are crazy with their bands so they need a dedicated radio just for them
