[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vannystick:
When stuck in the CM boot up, pressing and holding the power button would force a shut down, but the tab would then instantly reboot.

Holding the volume up (or down, i was desperate) until the samsung logo appeared wouldn't get me to ODIN, it would go to the CM boot screen.

If i plugged it into the charger once in the CM splash, and powered down, it would take me to the charge screen. Pulling the plug would then turn it off, without it rebooting.

Initially this wouldn't work, but perhaps because i was being impatient. All the instructions i had read say that the volume button can be released once the samsung logo pops up, perhaps i've miss read. Ultimately i found (more by accident than anything), you need to keep the volume button pressed until the second time the samsung logo pops up, then it will enter ODIN.

I managed to download a a stock rom from SamMobile, and flash it in.

It still wouldn't boot though, until i went into recovery and wiped data/cache. It also then took rather a long time to boot back up, presumably unpacking various 'stuff', had me a little concerned, so i left it alone for a few hours and came back to find the first boot welcome screen.

Lesson to be learned, always wipe the cache/data before an update, even if the previous half dozen CM updates had been fine.

I think what actually screwed things up was going from a 10.2 beta BACK to a 10.1 RC ROM.

Oh well, its working happily again, and not falling over like on the 10.2 beta. And i dont need to buy a RIFF box!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albert_htc:
As per topic.

Stock 4.4.2 Unlocked bootloader, rooted and mods applied.

Is there anyway now to unroot, lock bootloader, reapply stock recovery and keep modifications made ?

would this also reset the tamper flag ?

Not actually planning to do this.. but thought I'd ask :)

Thanks

Hi

I'm asking if it's possible to restore stock recovery, lock the bootloader, unroot, clear the tamper flag BUT keep the mods I've added ??

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phazerorg:
As far as I know, unrooting or locking the bootloader won't wipe your device, so your mods would be preserved.

There are steps here that should both lock the bootloader and clear the tamper flag: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2513701 (scroll to "Locking your bootloader+ Resetting the tamper flag") ... in that link, the device is already wiped before doing that, so it doesn't seem like it would wipe it again.

I haven't personally tried it, but I don't see anything that would wipe out your modifications. Of course, future OTA updates will fail if you've modded your system...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
I have crib into the issue of my phone will not make any sound when a timer or alarm has been set and goes off. The screen turns on, but there is no noise. The volume is turned all the way up for the alarm notification, and it is not on silent... I have tried multiple alarm/stopwatch apps with the same results. I have cleared cache and dalvik. The issue exists across both cm10.2.0 and Eclipse 4.3.

I know I plated with gummy 4.4.1 at one point, but I can't recall if that was before or after the issue began happening. No other changes have occurred. I have also tried a clean install of cm10.2

I solved it by removing the gravitybox module (part of Xposed installer). Now the screen autorotates correctly on lockscreen.

Update: seems like I completely missed the option to enable rotate screen the gravity box module.

So all fine now. But strange that the default setting in gravity box module does not respect system setting to auto rotate.

Sorry for the false alarm.

My phone is stock and unrooted.

I keep getting the message "unfortunately, battery has stopped working." its a popups as my phone hangs/ freezes for a min or more.

I can turn the screen off but nothing else is responsive. i can't go into menus or reboot when it hangs.

it would appear several times.

Using a battery app my temp hovers around 88 F

on the second day i did a factory reset and it still occurred . the 3rd day i decided to do a factory reset without app backup . i did selective install on specific apps.

At first i seems it was facebook, but after uninstalling it would still get hangs with the pop up message.

[General Questions and Answers] mxmaniac:
I have spent 10 hours searching for the solution, I finally have to just ask.

I have a Galaxy S1, its rooted and flashed with android 4.0 ICS. Its android version 4.0.3, ICS Passion v13.1

Anyways, I very often experience a major lag when waking my phone. I pick it up, the lock screen comes up, but is unresponsive. Sometimes just for 2 seconds, other times it can last up to 10 seconds.

I've leaned my apps down. I've used all sorts of diagnosis apps to try and figure out what's slowing it down with no luck. I recently got Catlog viewer (although don't really know how to use it much, but haven't seen anything obvious on there).

How do I figure this out? I'm used to things like this happening on windows where its simple to just pull up the task manager, see that some program is being a cpu hog or something, and terminating that process. On android however I haven't yet found any way to be able to diagnose what is happening at that point in time.
[Galaxy S III General] panteryx_26:
Does anyone know if there is any way we could extend the range of the NFC ? I know it's in the battery but could we add an antenna. I am aware this could be a weird mod that would not be very practical but could it be done ?
[Galaxy S III General] maqikpl:
The short range is one of ur defence from cheaters, mistakes etc. U dont want be cheated? Keep your money close to u, even e-money ;)
[Galaxy S III General] nukysh:
I don't think so...

The range doesn't depend on the dimension of the antenna, rather depend on the transmission power of the NFC chip (but I'm not sure :confused:)
[Galaxy S III General] Zizza:
i have never used NFC on my device..does anyone know if using an extended battery affects your nfc range?

i use a 7000mAh Zerolemon battery
[Galaxy S III General] maqikpl:
If u use extended battery to recharge original battery with NFC antena it should work normaly.
[Galaxy S III General] Michael_P:
Wouldn't make any difference, because even if you extended the range on the phone the device you connecting to only has a few MM range so couldn't communicate with the phone because of NFC chip limitations since it only has limited power to reply.
[Galaxy S III General] Zizza:
hmm thanks 4 reply
[Galaxy S III General] Ronin18:
As Michael_P pointed out,

you're not only sending energy to get the tag working, but also for the tag to send data back.

A higher range (possible with another antenna and chip) would be unsecure and would drain your battery faster (not shure how much though)

If it's for a specific project of yours, you could use active NFC tags, which have their own power supply.

But the NFC chip and NFC antenna are most likely specially designd for each other.

Fitting another antenna for higher reach will only work, if there were more power from the chip, which there isn't.

A friend and I played around with big rfid equippment for clothing stores last week (the stuff they hide at the exit to scan you for stolen products)

The antenna was huge with about 50cmx30cmx3cm.

The controlling unit was about the size of an S3^^ but thicker

And an extra PowerSupplyUnit (~10x10x20) (I don't remember, but could ask for the Output Power)

The reach of that thing was about 2 meteres for simple rfid-cards (wich is basically the same as nfc)
[Galaxy S III General] JuveAddict96:
NFC range depends on your battery so you can not extend it by any tweak i guess

Did you relock your bootloader with setool? I revived my totally dead phone (it wouldn't even power up, only green led blinks), I killed phone with OTA update on unlocked bootloader.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Viljar70:
Relocked it with Xperia_Relock_bootloader.ftf

ReLocking did not cause the problem. I relocked it to restore phone with PC Companion (which did not work)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dimitars84:
Did you try first to flash stock kernel or stock firmware then to relock bootloader?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Viljar70:
Yes, after the crash, I flashed both Custom and Stock ROM's and Kernels.

Than restored Root and BootLoader and flashed ROM's and Kernels again.

the kernel seems to be working, otherwise it would not charge.

and the system should be on there, because the PC Companion tells Me I have the latest software installed.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dimitars84:
Unlock bootloader flash this firmware http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46895025&postcount=40.

Also, if this didn't helped try fastboot clear commands (system, data... search in xda forums for this) then flash custom kernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Viljar70:
I just recently ReLocked the bootloader. It was unlocked over a year before this happened..

I have cleared pretty much everything in CWM and Flashtool

I have tried GB, ICS and JB stock firmwares

So, as You can read from above, I have already tried what You suggested
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dimitars84:
I am saying that your problem is in kernel. How on earth you flash kernel when your bootloader is locked?

You didn't try any of my suggestions - except you flashed firmware probably with locked bootloader.

btw your "above" post is changed ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Viljar70:
stock FTF firmwares should have Kernels with them..

at least the Kernel image (when starting the phone) changes each time I flash a new ROM

Emma says that the Phone is locked

But now, when I tried to flash the one You suggested, the Flashtool gives an Error while starting the flash.

So I'll unlock BL and try again...

After Unlocking the BL Still the same: Error flashing. Aborted

Same with other ftf files...

edit: cant flash anything in Flashmode.. always an error.

fastboot mode works well.. installed few Kernels - no change, installed few Custom ROM's in CWM - again nothing.

edit2: btw.. all of the kernels which support touchscreen, mine does not work (CTCaer Kernel looks awesome.. too bad its touch Only - so i cant use the CWM part at all)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Viljar70:
Emma also show's I have a correct ROM on it

https://www.dropbox.com/s/qdj1by4xbw132zp/emma.jpg

So...

Kernel should be OK (currently on Fusion.. again)

ROM looks OK

theoretically all should work ?

What could cause this... Hardware ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] arjunandrade.ciph:
The phone will automatically go to charging process if you are not doing anything on your phone while it's in Flashmode.

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

Try this

1. Install all necessary drivers like flashmode and fastboot drivers.

2. Re-download the FTF for your phone and make sure that the FTF that you download is for Xperia Ray. Maybe there is a problem with the file.

2. Exit PC Companion or Sony Update Service (don't let it run in the background because it will interfere with the Flashtool and make sure there is no logo of them on the bottom-right corner where you can see your PC time.) Unlock the bootloader of your phone. Flashtool can do the unlocking. Just search for the tutorial here on XDA.

3. Go to Flashtool and click the "thunder logo" for flashing FTFs and kernels.

4. Select Flashmode and select the FTF that you have re-downloaded.

5. Flashtool will load the FTF for flashing. A window pop-up will appear after the FTF is fully loaded and ready to be flash.

6. This is the time where you are going to connect the phone into the PC and make your phone go to Flash mode where the LED light becomes green.

7. When the PC successfully installed the drivers and the Flashtool detected your phone then the flashing of the FTF will automatically start.

8. Wait for the flashing to be finished. When the flashing finished, unplug the phone from the PC and USB cable and turn on your phone.

9. When the phone turned on and the software is fully loaded then relock the bootloader of your phone.

10. If you want, reinstall the firmware with PC Companion or Sony Update Service.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] samuelms:
why you want to relock bootloader? try dont relock bootloader...

1. unlock the bootloader

2. flash stock rom ftf

3. flash kernel ics based stock (dont turn on the phone after flash from stock rom ftf)

4. install the rom ics based.

5. turn on your phone..

if everythings is okay maybe you can relock the bootloader...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Viljar70:
I relocked the Bootloader to use PC Companion (it wont touch a phone with Locked BL)

I unlocked it again, flashed stock ftf and kernel (tried several stock ftf's - GB, ICS, JB)

is there anything I can do in ADB.. through Console ?!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] samuelms:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Viljar70:

Broken Digitizer should not affect phones software functions.. or does it ?!

After I lost touchscreen, I installed 2-3 new ROMS's that booted up, but still no Touch.

and Than this happened - Stuck on kernel load image.

Before I buy another Digitizer I want to make sure, the phone is working...

I Just replaced it about a month ago...

Also tried the WotanServer - software crashes as soon as I plug in the phone

Is anyone know what secureboot is?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
I believe S T R A and P might be the friendly names for some of the internal qfuses used by samsung, and secureboot is a different internal qualcomm non-volatile register (but that one can be changed, unlike the qfuses).

My own EU N9005 is S1, T1, R1, A1, P1 and also SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB).

The qfuses seem to matter in certain unlocking scenarios - there is a document somewhere that describes how reactivation lock can be removed by Samsung themselves and that involves writing specific firmware that is different depending on the above flags (with something like 3 major options if I remember correctly).

In the past (as recent as first generations of i9505 I believe) SECUREBOOT: ENABLE was only used when a locked bootloader (I believe mostly AT&T and VERIZON) was active. That has changed with Knox - a non-secured boot does not quite sound compatible with the way Knox is supposed to work - so I believe Samsung is now using most of the time SECUREBOOT: ENABLE and eventually enforcing some other/further restriction from inside the bootloader.

The presence of SECUREBOOT: NONE suggests a much, much wider degree of freedom, and possibly from this state it MIGHT be achievable to bring a device to a state very close to factory.

Unfortunately so far we only know that a knox 0x0 secureboot: ENABLE can go to knox 0x0 secureboot: NONE (but at this point it is very, very unclear how that was achieved - if anybody has more details please post those). It is NOT clear if a knox 0x1 secureboot: ENABLE can go to secureboot: NONE (from where I would assume that knox might be easier to reset, but I could be wrong).

I believe right now the bounty here is over 2500 USD to reset knox and over 1000 USD in a few other Note 3 forums (I believe there are at least 5 major Note 3 forums), plus a huge amount of fame and karma so we might get to see some very interesting things on that subject :cool:
