does anyone know how to read/ decipher bugreports.txt? i have been trying to track down a bug that my os has been having for months now and it keeps dumping all these big bugreports and wile it does that my phone slows down to a crawl! all i know is that its triggered sometimes when im listening to music with the walkman app and press volume up. then the phone vibrates once and again 3 more times signifying that the system is making a bugreport. i want to understand the text so that i can get to the root and the only app that could automatically do it is banished from the internet (404 removed) or missing links.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
I don't know where bugreport.txt is stored in phone when it's created, nor i don't know why it's happening when you press volume up, but i can share my way of getting full bugreport file with PC:

I use Total Commander with ADB plugin and all is needed is just simple drag'n'drop to make file bugreport.txt wich is easily viewed with any txt viewer (TC have also internal viewer).

You're in the right place.

Some of the information you have received is at best confusing. So put that all aside for now.

We need to know some more information about your phone:

1) What makes you think it is rooted? Did you do the rooting yourself? Did you get the phone new or used or hand-me-down?

2) What stock firmware version was on the phone?

3) When you took it to the AT&T store, was it in the back room long enough for the person to have actually have attempted to re-flash the firmware? I would guess a minimum of 5 to 10 minutes, maybe longer. When you got the phone back from them did it behave any different?

4) Exactly what information are you trying to recover? Please be specific about what is important to you and what is not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] snackorders:
Thank you for replying. I hope this helps.

Wow! Thank you so very much for responding. I feel so fortunate that it’s you, because I read quite a few posts on this site before joining, and there seems to be nothing you don’t know, and you are always kind.

I only said the phone is rooted because I assumed (apparently incorrectly) that rooted meant as initially programmed/whatever. So, no, I did not root the phone and I got it new.

I do not know what stock firmware version was on the phone. If it helps, I checked quite a few times during the first year or so that I had the phone on ‘check for updates’, and if my memory serves me correctly there was at most one update. I am not even sure that I updated. I just recall receiving a text that an update was available, but that I would have to download it to my pc, then to the phone. I know that I downloaded it, but am not certain I ever installed it - and please forgive my ignorance as I do not know if it included a firmware upgrade. I have had the phone about two years.

It did not seem like the AT&T person was out of sight for even 3 minutes, so it certainly seemed like much less than 10. And I do not know what she meant by, “I reloaded the software, and it still doesn’t work. I think you need a new phone.” And after she gave it back to me it did not behave any differently.

I would like to retrieve my contacts info that I unknowingly saved to the phone. It seems as though I was only able to retrieve my older numbers from my SIM card, and none of the later ones, many of which are the ones I would like to retrieve. Additionally, I would like to retrieve my pictures- there are some that people sent me that cannot be duplicated (personal, intimate, some of children and grandchildren of co-workers, etc., nothing pornographic, really, but many with sentimental value.) I likely saved locked some text messages, but since I cannot recall even one, I guess I will not miss them.

Thank you so much for listening.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Can you please describe how the phone got stuck on the rethink possible screen. I'm particularly interested in any specific actions that were taken immediately preceding that such as, installed a program, performed a reset, etc.

Not sure what you mean by "I can get to the recover screen but it does nothing." We need to put the phone into recovery mode if possible. With the phone off, and a charged battery, hold down all three buttons, vol-, vol+ and power continuously until the rethink possible screen appears, disappears and appears a second time, then release the buttons. If the phone boots into recovery mode, don't use any of the options but copy the text that describes the recovery which should be at the top of the screen, I think.

You will get your pictures back if we can get the phone to boot. You will lose your contacts and text messages unless they were backed up. Most people who use android phones save their contacts to their google account, where they are backed up on the cloud. If you did back up your contacts to your google account, then you can restore them onto your new phone, assuming it is an android phone, or onto the I777 once we get it to boot. The contacts and text messages are stored in the data partition on the phone, and we will need to erase the data partition to get the phone to boot. The pictures are stored on the USB storage, or internal sd card, so they will not be touched, even if we have to reinstall the firmware.

Here's what I've got...

You’re the best, creepyncrawly!! I am grateful! It was odd, I had my phone plugged into a usb port of an old work desktop, with just a usb cable to keep it charging while I surfed (ok, I am a night nurse and we actually do have some down/free time) and one of my co-workers borrowed my cable to charge his Samsung. When he returned it an hour or so later I simply plugged it back into my phone then back into the tower, and at that instant my screen went to the ‘Rethink Possible’ screen. And that is as far as it will advance.

I haven’t fooled with it in a week or so, but what I meant was that I can do the button combination you mentioned and get to the android guy and ‘restart the system’, and 3 other options which you are also likely familiar with. And when I said it does nothing I meant that when I choose ‘Restart the system’ it has no effect. One seemingly small difference from what you instructed is that I seem to be able to only get to the recovery screen by letting the buttons go after the ‘Samsung Galaxy SII’ screen appears twice, which is before the ‘Rethink Possible’ where it hangs. Here is what I can get to-

I THINK the pic attached below.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Your phone has the stock recovery, as expected. It doesn't tell us which version of the stock firmware is on the phone. It's been so long since I looked at the stock recovery screen, I couldn't remember if there was version info there or not.

I wish we knew which version of the stock firmware is on the phone. When you bought it two years ago, the firmware would have been the original Gingerbread version 2.3.4, UCKH7.

The firmware has been updated several times by AT&T:

version 2.3.6, UCKK6 (Gingerbread)

version 4.0.3, UCLE5 (Ice Cream Sandwich)

version 4.0.4, UCLL6 (Ice Cream Sandwich)

version 4.1.2, UCMD8 (Jelly Bean)

The next step would be to perform a wipe data/factory reset from recovery. The only problem is that in the kernel for version 4.0.3 and maybe version 4.0.4, the cap erase bug may have been present, and so we would like to avoid doing a wipe data/factory reset if one of those versions of the firmware is on the phone.

Performing a wipe might recover the phone so that it will boot normally, or it might not. The other way to recover the phone is to enter download mode and flash the stock firmware. That would avoid the possibility of doing a wipe in the stock ICS kernel, and so that is what I would recommend. Either approach is going to wipe the data partition, and retain the pictures, so no difference there.

I have sent you a private message. Would you respond to that via private message first, then post back here how you would like to proceed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kerchew:
one quick question

did att roll out 4.1.2 ota? maybe there was an update that occurred, might be possible to emergency recover using kies?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] snackorders:
My experience with justanswer.com is that they are a huge ripoff

For what they quoted as a $5 charge suddenly became a $35 charge to my credit card with the only thing having been accomplished is that I had become so frustrated, and believed the guy knew what he was doing that I actually let him talk me into doing a wipe data/factory reset from recovery. It made no difference/improvement whatsoever, then he said something such as, Ok, that didn't work, so we will have to try another approach that will involve quite a few steps... Then I looked at my credit card history and they were charging me as though every little question he asked and I replied to was another charge- instead of his resolving my ONE problem regardless of how many questions. It simply did not progress as they made it sound.

So with that in mind and given that you have already informed me that my contacts info is irretrievable, I am frankly in a quandary as to how to proceed. Although I would REALLY like to get my pics back, I'm not sure if you think it's possible, especially given that I would have to actually be the one doing it and you're talking over my head such that I just don't know. Do you still believe my pics can be retrieved?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kerchew:
for future.

not sure if you have an external sd card, or if you had kies before you can backup using kies all your data. google drive is a good tool as well for things like pictures.

personally i use avast for my backups like photos and apps. it is only with the paid version, but i like to have all my bases covered and without root access, avast is a good tool.

now getting the pictures off may be an issue since the factory restore and reset. i believe those things are lost unless you somehow had them on an sd card in the phone as external memory.

long reply for short question, do you have an external sd card?

it seems that you may need to get into download mode and flash with odin to get it working, something along the way had to be messed up. im fairly new to the shin dig, but that is what i had to do when i got stuck in that boot screen and ended up just rooting my phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
It depends on whether the problem is firmware related, or hardware related. If there is damage to the emmc memory, then it is unlikely that you will get the pictures back. At this point, from what you've told me, I'd say that memory damage is a possibility, but still rather unlikely. I think there is a very good likelihood of getting the pictures back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Go to the download repository from the link in my signature. There is a link near the top of the page to download Odin3 v1.85 from XDA-Developers. That link still works. Also at the bottom of the page the link for the latest stock, I777UCMD8 is a working link. Download both Odin3 and the stock UCMD8 tar file 7z. Extract I777UCMD8_I777ATTMD8_I777UCMD8_HOME.tar.md5 from the 7z archive.

You will need a windows pc.

Follow and recheck each of the following steps. Do them in order listed, as some steps are dependent on previous steps

1.) Open Odin on the Windows Desktop.

2.) Have the USB cable plugged into USB port on the computer, but *Not* plugged in to the phone.

3.) Shut the phone off.

4.) While holding down the vol+ & vol- keys (but not the power key), plug micro-usb plug into phone.

5.) In Odin, you should get the yellow box under where it says ID:COM with the text 0:[COMx], and in the Message area, <ID:0/00x> Added!! where x is some number, usually 1-8.

6.) In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and all other items are not checked.

7.) Click on the PDA button. Browse to the I777UCMD8_I777ATTMD8_I777UCMD8_HOME.tar.md5 file that you extracted earlier and select it so its path appears in the text edit box next to the button.

8.) Make sure the check box next to the PDA button is checked.

9.) Click the Start button.

10.) You should see the green progress bar advancing.

Let me know if it flashes successfully. Regardless if it works or not, before you close Odin, copy out the information in the Messages section and post it back here. You have auto reboot checked so it will try to boot the phone into the new system. If the flash is successful, but the phone does not boot successfully, turn the phone off, then boot into recovery using the three buttons, and perform a wipe data/factory reset and then try to boot into the system.

Creepyncrawly, thank you so very much...

You are the man! It didn't boot successfully initially, but I did as you instructed and the phone breathed life once again. The 300 images I had stored in it actually turned out to be over 1300. Many of them are tiny bmps (banners and such), etc., but many of them, for example, quite a few gif files which I never knowingly save, my evil twin must have downloaded -so much garbage, so now I need to learn how to delete them from the phone. Fear not- I won't bother you with that. It should Google fairly easily- famous last (IT) words. But I am so very glad to have gotten my images back, not that I remember who some of those babies are, but thank you. I appreciate it more than I know how to say.

Great.

What you need is "Format USB storage - Erases all data on device's USB storage, such as music and photos". It should be under Settings > Storage. this is ok to do while the system is running. In other words, you don't do this from recovery.

After flashing CyanogenMod 10.2 stable release, I was experiencing problems with my sprint galaxy s3 regarding SMS. I thought it had something to do with my google voice account, because the 10.2 family includes voice+ for google voice users. Well, it turns out it did. After doing many things and wiping and factory reseting many times, I tried deactivating my google voice number to see if that would work. After I did that, my text messages immediately started working. The problem was solved.

I have not yet tried to re-activate my google voice account and use 10.2 stable. Hope I could help somebody out.

What you are asking is impossible, you can´t make bigger the space of you´re phone, using the sd card.

Allthough you can try to use some applications to move the apps to you're SD, apps like Link2Sd(You need root) or more.

Also you can root you´re mobile and use titanium backup to delete apps you don´t need and you can´t remove,normally, but attention, if you remove some apps you´re phone can stop working.

I hope i helped!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
If you have unlocked bootloader, you can flash Lupus GB kernel. It have 640MB data partition. And with the help of Link2SD (to move as much apps as you can to SD) it should be enough for some time

You could also partition SD card so apps2sd or link2sd can use it expand storage but is somehow harder to setup. You might check http://xdaforums.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanl2299:
Are you rooted? If so get titanium backup pro (it's worth the $6 or $7). There's an option for moving dalvik-cache to /cache in there. Depending on phone, you can free up 80-100 MB of space by doing this. Here is the manual method, but it may not work on a lot of devices. Lack of space on these phones was my driving force for rooting it. I'm not certain about this (maybe someone who knows can chime it), but I believe making a separate small ext3 partition for your apps (something like 1-2GB) on your SD card helps out with speed of apps stored on there using link2sd.

After 4 hours of searching for solutions on my own, I am hoping someone might have a solution.

Rooted and installed latest TWRP no problem.

Flashed the CM 10.2 (official release), and phone rebooted and hung on a fastboot screen (last line [1170] fastboot: processing commands)

I've come to find out that I flashed the 802 version of CM 10.2 and not the 801.

Now, no drivers allow my phone to be seen by adb, nor my pc. I've tried many (800, 801, etc.) , including the LG firmware update tool mechanism for the same.

Nothing.

I can boot into TWRP, but have no backup file on my sd to flash back to normal.

I can boot into download mode, but the phone still will not be recognized.
