[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nerys71:
I have a Sprint S3. it would not boot. would say samsung then boot logo then music then nothing

I use a one click LJ7 rooted rom from sxtape and odin'd it over.

it boots up now but 2-3 seconds after reaching the main desktop screen it "freezes" solid. it makes noise when I tap the soft keys but won't do anything (its fully functional for the 2-3 seconds before it locks up) after a bit it "reboots" itself.

suggestions?

If you can still get into recovery, then try downloading this zip and flashing. (stock md4 return to stock)

Downloading now. I can flash this with stock recovery? the phone does not have CWM or TWRP installed....

Recovery starts to do something and said authentication fails or something to that effect and aborts.

so. do I need a custom recovery for this to work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nerys71:
ok how do I get a custom recovery I can odin in download mode since I can't boot the phone "long enough" to do anything meaningful ?

I tried installed twrp but it says same thing. signature verification failed.

suggestions?

I found the tar's trying it now.... I am twrp'd installing the rom you suggested now. will report back what happens.

Intriguing. at first it did not work. it booted. did upgrading I got into the UI swiped and it froze BUT then it changed.

a crash came up. factory test stopped responding! I hit ok and I was active again then it froze again did the same thing. factory test not responding and I hit ok and I was active again and "so far" it has not done it again.

its also strange. it appears to have no lock screen. its on and enabled in settings but when I turn it off then on its at the desktop ui with no lock screen to go through??

very strange.

even stranger I installed an app and play store closed but it installed the app ??

I went to reboot and just pressing and holding the power button shuts down the phone. no menu or anything just shuts down (normal shut down not abrupt except that no menu appeared)

STRANGER still!! I turned it back on and it "froze" twice again with factor test has stopped both times but this time on the second freeze for a split second a box appears. it was dark grey with writing I could not read faster enough but in RED LETTERS at the top of this box it said something about "factory mode"

any ideas?

what is factory mode?

I wonder if this was some sort of odd ball internal test model or something? I am actually surprised the ESN comes back as clean (I bought it to use as a timelapse camera so that don't matter to me)

but because of its non boot and lack of labeling under the battery (no serial/esn label under the battery not ripped just not their)

stranger and stranger. any suggestions on what this factory mode thing might be and how to turn it off or make it function normally ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nerys71:
Ok I have not fixed the factory mode thing yet.

I found these instructions on another android site.

root. install terminal and run this

su

rm /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

rm /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

reboot

problem is all those commands say no such file or directory.

so its probably what I need but the wrong file names or whatnot ???

suggestions? something about an "EFS Corruption" and that is why its stuck in factory mode?

OK found more instructions. Still not fixed but getting closer to why at least.

the EFS folder is empty. apparently there is supposed to be something in their? I am guessing the PO tried something hinky and seriously borked it :)

anyway to restore this or copy it from another phone or something. I understand this has something to do with the phones ability to make calls and use data. I could really care less about that. its going to be a timelapse camera for me not a phone.

I just want out of factory mode :)

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] reubenskelly1992:
So I have my Samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014. I have rooted it got rid of bloat ware , even downloaded nova launcher and froze touchwiz home, but I a, still getting annoying lag, I love the tab but it's not running as smooth as I like. When I clear all apps with task manager my ram goes down to just over 1 gb which is great compared to the sometimes over 2gb of ram touchwiz was using sometimes. Should I reboot the system then re root, I heard factory reset has helped a lot of people. Any thoughts?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] jaypeezee:
Personally, I'm not seeing any lag. Out of box I immediately updated to MK1, wiped, rooted, and then immediately downloaded Titanium Backup. I removed the 6+2 knox related apps, disabled a majority of the Samsung bloat, and have been running smooth ever since. I left Touchwiz personally, as I haven't seen the need to use Nova.

Where are you seeing the lag? A wipe usually takes care of the problem however I know its an inconvenient solution,,,, Are you running MK1?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] reubenskelly1992:
I'm in the UK so it's on j6. Maybe the mk1 takes care of the lag . It's not horrendous, just on play Store and sometimes it really slows down on moving screen etc
[Moto X Q&A] golasalle:
I am back to Android after years with RIM (went back to BB after the Droid X) and maybe I'm just missing something. When I have an application open front and center, I don't get a notification (ringtone or vibration). If my screen times out or locks with that application (let's say BBM) open, I still don't get a notification.

Is this something specific to the Moto X or Android in general? If I'm typing a message in BBM or SMS (stock messaging) or email (Gmail), no notification. While I'm sure there are those that don't want to be bothered, I do want to be bothered. ;)

Or maybe there's a setting or something I'm missing. Which is entirely possible!!

[Lenovo P780] west76:
Good to see a topic for Lenovo P780 in the XDA :) So I use the SLXROM from the Russian forum nearly perfect. Do you know it?
[Lenovo P780] satanduck:
Actually that's the one I was using before I switched to the one based on JiaoYu G4 by "savyol". Reason being my iPega BT controller doesn't work on SLXROM (but that's fair because it didn't work on Lenovo stock either) but it worked in this ROM (and also MIUI).

However I could be switching back soon since the newer release of this they cranked up the auto brightness to an eye piercing level when in complete darkness and i hate it!
[Lenovo P780] conny005:
Hi, JiaoYu G4 is for chinese version? Where do you downloaded? How do i know if my phone is chinese or world version? I bought my phone with LiFe_v05... Thanks.
[Lenovo P780] satanduck:
The JiaYu ROM i was testing is for ROW, I found it here:

http://forum.china-iphone.ru/post1223015.html#p1223015

If your phone is running LiFe it should be ROW version. Just flash in recovery should do.

Heck, if you screw up, reflash it again in Flash_Tool, hence the purpose of me sharing the above ROMs
[Lenovo P780] conny005:
But how can i be shore ? Is there any aplications or somethnig to tell me. I am afraid to do samething with out be shore. I want to mention that when i press up button and power connected on the laptop , on phone screen apears something in chinese... Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.
[Lenovo P780] satanduck:
If you have official firmware, it can be determined by the number, i.e. S110, S116, S119 (ROW), and S125, S129, S135 (Chinese)

You have a custom ROM installed. This is probably not there, or changed by the ROM creator.

By experience LiFe is based on ROW. Unless somebody ported over to Chinese base and flashed it on your phone.

The point of this thread is to share those bases. So that you can decide and switch base. So that it DOESN'T MATTER what base you are CURRENTLY on, just change to the one needed by your intended custom ROM.

PS : The JiaYu ROM has EBR included in it (partition table) so in theory it should work on either base
[Lenovo P780] conny005:
This is the rom you refered to?....Just download, put on sd card, wipe every thing and flash the rom? Thanks.

PS JiaYu rom have english language?
[Lenovo P780] satanduck:
I think the ROM maker requested people do not share his ROM on other forums.

When in doubt, use google translate.
[Lenovo P780] conny005:
Yes sorry, I delete the link; but i wasn't shore, if it is a rom or just an update to an old version..., please confirm me..

[MENTION=2490610]satanduck[/MENTION] - I have bought the Lenovo P780 and facing an unusual problem. I am not able to move the Apps from the App Drawer to the Home Screens of Lenovo Launcher at all. When I long press the app icon in App Drawer, they dance with a X symbol in each user app but when I drag it up or down, I don't see an Option to move to Home or the Home Screen? The phone is not rooted yet.

your advice on this would be much appreciated.:confused:

Select the app, and drag down on wich screen you want, they are small on the bottom, or you can press menu, add app., you can select one or more..

It was a headscratcher for me too!

What works for me :

1. Long press on any of the homescreens (empty space)

2. A menu appears at the bottom with several tabs, by default it is on "Add"

3. Select what you want to add to the homescreen (multiple select possible), Apps, shortcuts, folders, widgets, etc...

Modem problems on Chinese P780 with ROW Rom

Just for those interested, I managed to find some interesting info regarding the modem of the P780.

The roms posted by Satanduck can be flashed on any type of P780 and from one type to the other. Personnaly I have a Chinese phone with the ROW Rom .

But as mentioned in earlier post I had many problems with the modem / baseband / radio / antenna signal. Very unstable :eek: and SIM2 was almost never connected to mobile network. This is probably because the hardware/gsm module is different between Chinese and ROW P780 mobiles, but strangely softwares are compatible. So I googled to find some other basebands that would do a better job than the one in the ROW Rom on my Chinese P780.

This is where I found it all : lenovo-forums.ru , translated post title "Radiomodule P780 Firmware" (sorry cannot post links yet)

(Google translate helped of course)

I am now trying out the "New modem V51 S820 for Chinese mobile". It is doing a better job now at home, but need to test it at work and on the go. Bless the russians! Seems to be a very active community on the P780 there :good: .
[Lenovo P780] satanduck:
Thanks for the heads up! Will update the OP with this info shortly!
[Lenovo P780] fx_viper:
little extra

Well, after first day, "New modem V51 S820 for Chinese mobile" is behaving very nicely! :good: :good: :good: :D. (Flashed with TWRP recovery without a problem, after flash allow P780 to startup without interfering, take longer the first time)

Another hint to improve bad reception is changing the "Network Selecting" mode using Mobileuncle Tools (can be found on Google Play Store) to: GSM/WCDMA (auto).

You can find this in the section Engineer Mode -> Engineer Mode (MTK) -> Network Selecting.

Some will day that the P780 also has a menu for setting this, but that is GSM/WCDMA (WCDMA preferred) whereas MobileUncle has the extra 'auto' mode !

Take the opportunity to backup your IMEI with MobileUncle Tools too, you never know with flashing!

Hello,

I bought Chinesse version P780. My signal is very bad.

This is my version:

Baseband version p780.V15

Build number P780_S125_130529

My recovery is in Chinesse language. Phone is rooted(superSU). How i can install english recovery and flash ROW ROM and firmware V16? I hear that firmware V16 is most better in my country.

I'm a beginner so tell me if making a mistake somewhere here...

Is it ok?

1. Download mobileuncle tools from playstore

2. Download recovery_P780_CWM_6.0.1.5.img and copy it to SD card

3. From mobileuncle flash recovery_CWM

4.now i need flash this ROW rom P780_S119_130929_rooted_twrp_gapps.7z from first post in this thread?

5. download modems https://mega.co.nz/#!5R0HzBCa!IitYHVDOei99FY8RXim4HytO7qIv_IYHYQcRcz3ns2c , choose V16 and move to sd card and flash it.

6. factory reset and wipe cache

I dont want to brick my phone., so tell me pls Is it correctly steps?
[Lenovo P780] Trystam:
Well its easy dont panic over it.

It's nearly impossible to brick your MTK phone, i suposed you are running on S125 or something alike depending on where you bought your phone. At this point it really isnt an issue.

Shutdown your Phone ....

Grab the P780_S119_130929_rooted_twrp_gapps.7z in your PC and Uncompress it.

Run Flash Tools and Ceck the DA DL All with Check Sum on the GUI.

On the Scatter Loading browse to your S119 ROM that you downloaded previously and check the "MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" file.

It should autofill all the remaining fields of the Flash Tool after that just hit Firmware-Upgrade and Wait. Connect your Phone while plugged off to the USB and the flash starts .. wait until it finishes and presents you with a Green Circle in the middle of your screen.

This would be mine take on it but i flashed my P780 over and over and over.

Wait for another user also to verify this process . not that it is wrong but two people writting in english is better than one :P
[Lenovo P780] Joomlar:
Tnx you! I flashed P780_S119_130929_rooted_twrp_gapps.7z.

Now i have V20 firmware version and signal is bad. Can i flash via recovery V16 version? Again i have recevory only for china language?
[Lenovo P780] satanduck:
Download Fixed, Sorry!

Sorry guys for the bad file, should be fixed now. (I even compared the md5sum locally against AFH to be sure!)
[Lenovo P780] satanduck:

And yes you can try other radios from recovery, I gave a link in the first post.

rom with romanian language

is there any rom with romanian language?

an official rom?

10x in advance
[Lenovo P780] lionking59:
Hello friends,

Need some guidance and help. I have a strange situation. I flashed my P780 using the "P780_S119_130929_rooted_twrp_gapps.7z" provided by satanduck in the opening post. Its working absolutely fine. However now I have two type of recoveries. I dont know if its normal or abnormal.

First Recovery:

This was my default factory recovery and the only recovery available to me when the stock rom was installed. However it still shows up after flashing the mobile with the custom rom. Though my phone is ROW version which was purchased in India and is international model (not the Chinese one), the factory recovery settings are in Chinese (or some other language). Even after installing the custom rom (P780_S119_130929_rooted_twrp_gapps.7z), I get this recovery when I press the Power + Vol+ button. Naturally its useless for me as I dont understand anything except for the mmc word but its still shows up.

Second Recovery

This is the second recovery which I can access only when

(a) I select the "Into Recovery Mode" in "mobileuncle tools"; or

(b) I give command "adb -d reboot" (With ADB recovery).

Obviously, the TWRP recovery is my preferred choice. I can read, understand and do a lot of things from that.

Now I have few questions. My knowledge is not much about androids but I have been trying to learn a lot using online forums and knowledgeable people like [MENTION=2490610]satanduck[/MENTION]. Anyone who can help me with answers is most welcome and thanks in advance. My doubts are

(a) Can I get TWRP recovery with Power+Vol+ pressing action. If yes how and what would be the risk involved?

(b) The TWRP recovery which I have is 2.5.0.0. I have seen some latest versions of TWRP recovery on google play, but they are for android when its running. Can I flash the newer version of TWRP recovery for my model of phone. If yes how and from where do I get the image file for that?

(c) If I install any other custom rom, will it result in loosing the TWRP recovery?

(d) Can I do something to keep a backup of this TWRP recovery? If yes how?

(e) When i checked for an update through the OTA method, it showed me the newer firmware version SA123 of around 63 mb. Though i was able to download it, when i try to update the screen gets stopped at TWRP recovery. I have to restart and the firmware version is still the same old one S119. What can I do to update my firmware to S123. Can someone tell me the location of the downloaded S123 firmware files so that i can update the firmware using the TWRP recovery itself.

I am sure this is just the beginning of my doubts and as I understand more and more I shall need more help from the experienced members here to guide me and explain me a bit of things. Thanks in advance :) Looking forward to some encouraging discussion here.
[Lenovo P780] satanduck:
press both volume buttons when turning on, the first screen is NOT recovery, seems like some sort engineering mode in Chinese. don't choose the mmc one it wipes.
[Lenovo P780] lionking59:
ok.... you are absolutely right about pressing vol+ & vol- button together with power button. It takes me to the TWRP recovery option :)

Updating S119 to S123 w/o dataloss

Hi Satanduck,

Got a pop-up saying update available, donwloaded it, clicked OK to update from within System upgrade menu, but the phone reboots and just goes into TWRP.

I tried doing a manual install from TWRP, update.zip was in "googleota" folder, but it gives error and does not install. Tried clearing cache before install, with and without zip check, no success...:confused:

Any ideas ?
[Lenovo P780] satanduck:
a) already told you and also written in first post

b) Recovery images are device specific, make sure you got a good source. for P780 its even FW base specific.where to get them? Google. That's how i got mine. I got the Chinese base one from ydss.cn and the ROW base one from lenovo-forums.ru. Please read again and understand this part again : RECOVERY IMAGES ARE DEVICE SPECIFIC AND FOR P780 ITS EVEN FW BASE SPECIFIC. Don't go flashing recovery for ROW on Chinese base and vice versa.

c) Depends on ROM maker if s/he includes his recovery/stock recovery, otherwise no. Usually no.

d) There are some guides out there using dd command. Google.

e) You need stock recovery
[Lenovo P780] satanduck:
You need stock recovery to flash OTA.

If you want to get back stock recovery, I can't remember if i deleted it or simply renamed it. It should be somewhere in /system/etc or somewhere thereabout, a file named "recovery-from-boot.p".

In the stock firmware (in most Androids I believe) everytime you boot your phone, it will check if recovery partition is there and correct. If not it will flash it again. this "recovery-from-boot.p" is the stock recovery image. I had to prevent this from happening since we want custom recovery, so i either deleted it or renamed it.

If you find a file "recovery-from-boot.p.disabled" just rename it back to original name and reboot.
[Lenovo P780] fx_viper:
I do have a "recovery-from-boot.bak" but no "recovery-from-boot.p.disabled" ? Could the .bak be the one ?
[Lenovo P780] soralz:
Hmm, is it the ROM provided here: Prerooted TWRP ROW S123 ROM is debloated? Because it seems like it is smaller than the official ROM 437MB compared to 672MB.
