Ya, found out my ROM was a little on the older side. Needed to update that, then kt747. When I tried to install before I kept getting system 7, even after replacing the binary file.

At least I am on the latest recovery, ROM, and kernel now!

I have an issue as of late. I am showing 1gig left of storage. I remember on cwm that I could format everything start fresh. Philz is not exactly cwm, how can I so this?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Go into recovery and select wipe data/factory reset and select full wipe for clean rom install

(it automatically wipes cache, dalvik cache, factory resets, formats /system and /preload)

Then you go into mounts/storage and select format data/media and data/media/0 (/sdcard).

Then flash a rom.

Make sure you pull everything off your internal storage that you want to keep before you do this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Casper34:
Ya I already did that, just wasn't sure about the media, thanks!

Install keeps failing when I try to flash zip in twrp? Any ideas on what I should try
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
What specific error are you getting?

Try to use the latest under d2vzw. It's nearly the same as the latest d2lte, see if it'll flash instead. If it's a weird error report it so Phil has a chance to look it over.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tyler.frost92:
not sure what the deal was, it would just say failed to install. ended up flashing with odin, works great now

Clone Rom to update.zip

What does that mean? :)

#awesome
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
Don't quote me, but I'm going to take a guess and say that it will take your current ROM and make it into a flashable zip. So anyone could flash it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mystique:
I would agree.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Half Decaf:
Whoa, Jeebus Meepus! Most excellent!

Any one notice a bug where it will ask you to restore settings to default when rebooting? If not then I will provide a log.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
I haven't seen that. Are you on the latest, 6.19.3 build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil3759:
it is a feature when you have a backup in sdcard while settings file was wiped from /data

you can enable auto-restore option to skip prompt and always restore backup when settings are gone in a wipe /data
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
Oh OK thanks Phil. Why does it ask to restore defaults (and really does restore defaults) instead of my backed up settings? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phatreno:
nandroid

This is a great interface, my only issue is I can't restore my nandroids ,gives me mismatch md5. I had the nandroids made before I flashed philz touch not sure if that's the issue.anyone Have that issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
You can restore without it checking md5. It has to do with renaming your backups. It'll mess up the checksum.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
I agree with the first part; With respect to the second part I renamed my earlier backups with rom manager and Philz flashed them fine even with Md5 check on.

On another issue, i keep getting an update binary, using legacy binary. The problem is my binary is up to date. Anyone see this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
What's your error say specifically? Only the status 7 assert fail is linked to the update binary being old.

Renaming your backup won't always cause the issue. Using a newer cwm recovery (or switching to a newer version of philz) will reproduce the md5 issue on older backups with renamed titles with spaces inserted. If you left your names alone from the backups they will always restore just fine. Additionally, to avoid that problem in the future, renaming backups without spaces won't cause the issue either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
I don't have a problem flashing either rom or zip. I'll have to get the exact words but before it actually flashes, it says something like update binary using legacy binary. It then goes on to flash without an issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Philz has an option to use the newer updater script or an older legacy script. If your rom has an older update binary, it uses that script to flash your file. Newer update binaries run on the new script and don't need that step.

Basically, it's a work around to make any file flashable, because not every file out there has an updated update binary to work on the newer recovery versions. Philz is the only recovery with that kind of a workaround, cwm would simply throw an error and won't flash the file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil3759:
No

New version detects that and there is no more issues. Get latest binary from a CM11 nightly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Casper34:
I tried flashing KTkernel (4/3 I think is the latest) and I got the system 7. I am on the latest philz. I didn't have this issue with my ROM or installing earlier versions of KTK, say 4/2 or the last one in March.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mystique:
Uncheck the old update binary setting..

It does not save, so you'll always have to select it..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
See above. This is not an option on the latest build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
What do you mean "get latest binary from CM11 nightly"? I flashed the latest SuoerSU. I still get the same message "update binary."
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Download the latest cm11 nightly.

Unzip the file, navigate to META-INF/com/google/android

Pull the update binary out of it, and use that to replace the other update binary in every zip you want to flash. Every flashable zip has an update binary in that location.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
Got it. Thanks.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] davehutch:
Can you set your Calendar to send meeting requests via text message and, more importantly, does it work?

My JAM has three options to send meeting requests; "Outlook e-mail", "NTLWorld" (my own e-mail account) and "text message".

If I try to set it to "text message", it doesn't do anything when I add an attendee to an appointment and then when I look at the option again it has reset back to NTLWorld again!

Any ideas?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Carty:
Even i tried a lot but gave up as it din work. When you go to edit the setting again after setting to text msg, it sometimes gets changed Oulook e mail.

Bonjour,

J'ai un samsung Galaxy S4, la batterie d'origine tient à peine la journée. J'ai acheté une batterie de marque ANKER de 5200mAh. La première charge ça allait et après la deuxième charge, elle est géniale,

je suis à 2 jours 12 h 31 minutes et il reste encore 38%.

la batterie est vendue avec un couvercle sur lequel il y a la marque ANKER. Il est brillant et laisse des traces de la main, mais l'important est que si vous êtes à la recherche d'une batterie qui tient le coup, je vous la conseille vivement.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkfish1:
Okay this feels really dumb, but I'm trying to install an .apk

Easy enough, right? I find the apk via a file explorer and click to install. Android prompts me to allow apks to be installed, I allow them. Then the installation starts. Its going well, but suddenly the Note 3 restarts and the apk isn't installed.

I've factory reset it a few times and tried multiple times. I'm running stock. build number JSS15J.N900AUCUBMJ5 and the apk I'm trying to install is from the humble bundle. (particularly Ravensword 2, Star command, but even trying to install other apps via apks cause my note 3 to reboot)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quickvic30:
Make sure that allow mock locations in checked in developer options and unkown sources is checked in security settings. If those are both checked and it still doesn't work you can push the app into the system manually, I use ES file explorer. Retrieve your apk from downloads, long press and copy it, go into device/system/app and paste, change apps permission to rw-r-r. To change the permissions long press the app, then click more on the bottom right then properties/change the permission to rw-r-r. you must be rooted to do it the manual way.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkfish1:
I turned on Mock Locations in dev mode. Unfortunately my devices is not rooted, Although I feel like it should still install normally. I've checked the APKs and they work on an S4 and LG G2, which are both not rooted.

Is it possible i just got a defective phone? bad software? bad hardware?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quickvic30:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sensamic:
Right now I'm rooted and unlocked but I didn't installed a custom recovery because then updates OTA fail, but I've read somewhere that even with a custom recovery you can update to the latest update from Google when released.

How do you people do this? Is it the sideload thing? How many ways are there to update correctly keeping the custom recovery?

After updating does the custom recovery disappear or it stays intact?

Where can I see a guide?

Should I install a custom recovery or keep my setup? The thing I miss is having a nandroid backup to be safe when flashing stuff.

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
As long as you don't modify anything system stuff, build.prop, exposed framework, etc, on your phone the ota will update with a custom recovery. After you update the custom recovery will be replaced with the stock recovery and root will be lost. I've tested this on my phone

Hmm... Not sure if this will share right...Flicker-set

Here's a couple of pictures taken with and without flash of a rack of servers and of a bookshelf. The shots include those taken with the ZL, a S2, and a S3...

I would say the ZL does ok... though I like the manual pictures better than the Superior Auto. Alot of noise gets introduced when it tries to adjust the ISO settings to something way past the optics of the phone.

I haven't really looked at the camera on anything pre 2.67...)

Note - the S2 is running T989UVMC6 (4.1.2), the S3 is an I747 running 4.1.1 JR003L.I747UCDLK3.

Both phones are rooted, but are running stock TW roms.
[Sony Xperia ZL] mcjoz88:
I actually disagree, and think that the stock camera app was better in Android 4.2. It doesn't seem nearly as good in low light areas with Android 4.3, compared to before the update. I have been searching for a camera app on the Play Store for a little while today, and I might try a few and compare the qualities of them versus the stock Sony camera app.

Has anyone else tried any different camera apps on the Play Store?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootshot:
I'm about to receive my 4th HTC one:

#1 - lasted less than a week before I returned it. Wiggling a headphone plug in the headphone jack caused all kinds of weirdness. AT&T replaced it.

#2 - lasted about 6-7 months. Unplugged it one morning and it went totally dead. No charge light would come on when plugged in. AT&T replaced it.

#3 - lasted less than one month. Pulled it out of my pocket while (ironically) in an AT&T store and it was a brick like #2. 5 minutes before it was working. It was charged that morning using the original HTC adapter & cable. AT&T is mailing a replacement (#4).

All had bootloader unlocked. #2 was also SIM unlocked and S-OFF. All were running (different) custom ROMs. All were in cases and had no physical or water damage (not even scratches).

Any idea what could cause this hard brick where the charge indicator doesn't even come on? Any ideas to rescue it?

Thanks!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] durres:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcrazydx:
Stop messing with your phone. You clearly have no idea what you're doing.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Curly060:
Really strange problem. Some ideas:

- Was it always the same adapter/cable or was that one replaced, too? If it was the same, maybe it is somehow broken and eventually kills your phones.

- If you use custom ROMs, did you maybe changed some low level settings (voltage? CPU frequencies?)

Cheers, Curly060 =;->
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootshot:
Curly060 - same adapter, but I use other adapters and cables as well (office, car, etc.). Custom rom was Maximus 30.0. No under/over clocking or volting.

My guess is that one of my power adapters is out of spec. I use a non-HTC adapter where it generally charges overnight.

I'll replace them all.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHellSite:
I think you just answered your own question! :rolleyes:

Maybe you should go for original ac adapters this time... ;)
