I got the wifi to work, but I still can't record video or hear audio. However, youtube does play up to 4 seconds of video, then the video freezes, but the bar resets to 0 and keeps moving forward and I don't see any more video other than the frozen frame. Could this be because of my custom binary count being 13?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
The custom binary count just means you have been busy flashing non-official stuff. It is not related to your audio problem. Are you still on S3rx? Have you Factory wiped since discovering these issues?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danman0:
Yes, I'm still on S3rx. When I first reboot my phone, I can't see the clock widget on the lock screen, but when i unlock and relock, it appears. Also, my imei and phone info is wiped, but since that doesn't explain audio and video not working, it doesn't matter at the moment. What else could be causing audio and video to not work?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
Sorry but I'm gonna ask a few more questions and see what I can find,

1. When you last tried to flash the stock 4.3 update, did you use the OTA zip that includes Knox and the bootloader?

2. Have you attempted to flash the stock rooted Att S3 image without the bootloader attached. See here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2540998

3. Without imei you aren't receiving service are you?

The reason I'm asking so much about the stock ROMs is because somehow the audio/video issue you are having may be fixed by going back to stock and wiping everything and reinstalling your kernel again. I have not experienced an issue like this myself, these are just the steps I would take.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danman0:
I don't remember what a bootloader is, but I downloaded the stock firmware from here http://www.smartphonejam.com/2013/11/upgrade-att-galaxy-s3-official-android43-i747ucuemjb-ota-update.html since software update option wasn't showing any updates for me. Later on I installed loserskater's 4.3 noknox and selinux permissive version but i had the same problems as i do with S3rx right now. Then I decided to go to custom roms, thats when sound and video don't work at all.

I don't know how to unattach the bootloader image (if there is one).

Yes, I don't receive and service http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=231HdNzlauQ
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
I'd recommend heading here and installing the upndwn4par stock ROM again. You did flash the one with the bootloader via that link you sent me. This link does not contain that bootloader. It has already been removed. Flash this and then wipe everything (cache,dalvik and full wipe/factory reset). http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2540998. This could fix your video/audio issue.

s for your IMEI problem you may find your answer here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2374063
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danman0:
Which one should I download:

d2att_Kernel_Insecure_init.d_4.3_MJB_v1.0

d2att_Kernel_Stock_init.d_4.3_MJB_v1.0

d2att_Kernel_Stock_4.3_MJB_v1.0

I don't know the difference between init.d and the one without it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
First download and flash this. This is the ROM. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291681250

then download and flash this. This is the Kernel. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291681650

After both of these, do a full wipe/factory reset and wipe cache.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danman0:
I'm still downloading the first file, however, after i do a full wipe and wipe cache, what do I install? Any custom rom? Should I fix imei before or after doing this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
Id fix the IMEI first so that you go into the flash with everything working. Flash the stock rom and kernel then wipe. After this if all works you will be back to original 4.3. If you chose to go to custom roms beyond this point is up to you but isn't necessary.

---------- Post added at 05:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 AM ----------

Do you have an old Nandroid backup from after your 4.3 update?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danman0:
I never had nandroid :/. Also, in that imei guide, it says this: On Your Phone: Dial *#7284# and select "Qualcomm USB Settings" then check "RMNET + DM + MODEM".

I don't even see those options, I only see pda (selected) and modem, and when I click on modem, the circle is highlighted, but never goes on and turns green, instead, it goes back to pda.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
Here is a write up i found elsewhere.

Restoring Lost/Corrupt IMEI:

If you have already lost your phone’s IMEI, do this-

1: Note down your phone’s IMEI. You can find it below the phone’s battery or on the box that it came in when you bought it.

2: Create a backup of the corrupt IMEI file and open it with NotePad++ or any other text editor.

3: Separate your IMEI number into blocks of two digits, leaving the first digit alone. Suppose your phone’s IMEI is 35516705558781901, separate it like this: 3 55 16 70 55 58 78 19 01

4: Now add “A” after the first digit, and reverse the sequence of the two numbers in each block of 2 digits. Add 08 in the beginning of the IMEI. Here is an example: 08 3A 55 61 07 55 85 87 91 10

5: Having done this, replace the first nine values in the NV block with the converted IMEI.

6: Click on Write button on the NV-items_reader_writer tool.

7: When it’s done, disconnect device and reboot it.

This tool is being reported in a few places to help re inject the imei. See what you can find here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1308546

Not to be too confusing, and I'm sorry if I am, but this may also be a modem issue. Maybe you should attempt to flash the Rom and see if that fixes this problem. If it does not you only lose a few minutes of that flash and then start over on the IMEI.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danman0:
The only way I believe that I can make a backup of the corrupt IMEI file is to use QPST, however, since I can't put my phone into qualcomm diagnostic mode, QPST doesn't recognize it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
Try flashing the ROM and see if it fixes IMEI issue. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291681250
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danman0:
After first installing the rom, then installing kernel, then wiping everything and installing stock, it's still giving me an error. Its giving me:

file_getprop: failed to stat "/system/build.prop

E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/external

After this, I just tried to run on the original rom you told me to install, the first step there the odex mjb one. I kept getting "Unfortunately, system ui has stopped" and I would press ok only for it to come back every half second.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danman0:
I read in a thread that you need the stock recovery to flash a stock rom, so if anyone could be kind enough to upload one.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
If you are booting and seeing System ui crash, a full wipe with recovery should fix this. The option that says wipe data/factory reset. While you are in recovery also wipe cache again and then wipe dalvik. If you are using CWM, you will find under advanced. I know this seems redundant but try everything. Try this again and see if it boots properly after this. As the ROM you flashed is a customized stock rom, you do not need stock recovery. In fact stock recovery will fail as it is not an official firmware.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danman0:
I'll try what you said, but should I try formatting my micro sd card?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danman0:
Wiping solved the system ui has stopped working (also tried fix permissions). However, even with the stock kernel, wifi immediately switches off when I try to turn it on, youtube has stopped unfortunately (and I can't even open it), supersu has stopped unfortunately, and I still can't hear audio or record video. (It doesn't even recognize my earbuds when I plug them in)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
The wifi is fixable with a different kernel. I promise... the audio should not have lingered unless it is a hardware issue. By installing a new rom and doing the wipes that you have done, there is no way that the audio problem would have survived that otherwise. This kernel will fix wifi, I have had and fixed the same problem with it. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23196940996968860. Flash it with recovery but dont worry about wipes this time. As for the audio thing, id start a new thread and mention that you have tried different roms, different kernels and wiped multiple times and see if you can get a second opinion if it is hardware. A fresh thread will get peoples attention better than waiting in this one.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danman0:
Ok, also, what about the video? The video camera doesn't work but takes pictures just fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
Sorry man, I have no definitive answer for you as to why the video would be acting that way. As I said all the wiping you did will have cleared any software related issues so I am at a loss other than wonky hardware. The ROM you are on is from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2540998. There are no reports of any kind relating to this issue and others experiencing it. The last thing I know of that you can try is to flash the bootloader for this ROM. It is at the top of the thread, but be sure to heed the warning attached to it. I have helped many people and have never come across this issue so unfortunately I have no experience with a definite solution. Try creating a new Q&A thread and maybe someone with knowledge of this will find it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danman0:
I can't believe it, everything is fixed! Since the bootloader link is broken, I decided to install the modem from there (can't ruin a ruined phone, can't you?). When I restarted, I noticed att logo had sound, so I checked youtube - works, video camera - works, and service - works! Thanks to everyone for your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ups2525:
I'm aware that disabling WiFi power saving mode via Samsung hidden menu will fix the disconnecting on a TW ROM. I did exactly that on my nandroided Hyperdrive v12 and it worked perfectly. What I'm asking is...

How do I access the Samsung hidden menu while on AOSP. This IME is a question that goes unanswered. I'm hoping one of our experienced BAD ASS members will chime in and help out. I have had several members confirm they have the same problem.

PLEASE HELP...??? I've spent a ton of time on this issue...:confused::confused::confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Triscuit:
To my knowledge there is no hidden menu on aosp, just TW. As for power saving, if you go to the WiFi screen and hit menu then advanced, there are options there to play with power saving.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ups2525:
I have respectfully posted this question as often as possible and your the 1st member to directly respond to my specific question. Kick ass, not the answer I was hoping for but thanks man!

I turn off the power saving option in the WIFi advanced settings routinely. Well if theres no hidden menu in AOSP then how can I find out where the AOSP equivalent is to the power saving mode in TW that's accessed through the hidden menu. Does that make sense? In other words I experience the same WiFi loosing connection problems while on TW until I via hidden menu disable WiFi power saving mode and the connection is rock solid from there on out. I want to know how to get the same results on AOSP. Of course by doing it the AOSP way...???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Triscuit:
I've been on AOSP for a long time and I think the advanced menu is your only option unless there is an app out there I am unaware of. These are my settings for WiFi.

update: changed router channel-no more signal drops

I DL'd WIFI Analyzer read the online help and figured out that my ATT router had been setup by the ATT tech on the same channel as 3 other local ATT routers. 4 different routers on channel 11...so stupid. Knuckleheads making $20 an hour to **** **** up (end rant, LOL). I changed channel to channel 2 and I'm connected solo now. I immediately saw my WIFI status bar symbol illuminate all the bars, never seen that before. This was last night and I haven't had a dropped signal since. I'm on Slimkat and have had 2 other members on Slimkat express they are experiencing the same drops. I also have read that some other members are experiencing the same drops on all AOSP ROM's.

I still have something intriguing me...while on TW, and knowing what your doing, you can access the Samsung stock feature called WIFI power saving "MODE". Turning this OFF IME stops any further WIFI connectivity issues. Does AOSP have the same Samsung stock feature JTC I'm 'not' talking about the advanced options accessed via systemsettings>Wi-Fi>menu>advanced??

Maybe someone can refer me to an accessible member that is a "go to guy" for AOSP questions? I assure you I always use discretion, consideration and mad respect when I communicate with a senior member.

Any measure of help is always appreciated :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Triscuit:
Good I'm glad you got part of the issue sorted out. I'm almost certain aosp doesn't have the hidden menu but I might be wrong, anyone else want to chime in confirming or denying?

I got this tablet as a gift from my parents.

Depends on the price, condition and your usage scenarios.

The Nook HD+ (9" screen) can be bought new for $150. It has a 1920x1280 resolution (translates to Retina display), dual-core CPU & 1GB ram (very similar to this tab). Easy to root and has KK ROM available.

The only downside is, no cameras, but on the plus side it comes with a microSD slot.

I currently have both in my possession - own the Nook HD+ and am rooting the Galaxy Tab for a relative. With price being the same, I would recommend the Nook HD+ for the superior screen.

Hello seems that you have some knowledge on the matter. can you give me a hint?

I have been using one P7500 and I like it. It is the only one i ever tested so.. xD

i tryed to install XBMC you know the app? had some troubles untill i found i needed a special version which i have already installed.

XBMC is running but to see videos it runs another app called MX player. i installed mx player.

but from what i understoon in another thread in here ( showthread.php?t=2156254 ) they said i needed a special codec. i've downloaded the armv7 tegra2 but mxplayer keeps playing videos without sound.. i changed the definitions but still no sound.

Do you ever experienced anything like this? may i be forgotting something?

Do you recommend to root and change my android version? i think it is by default, dont think my father updated it.

I asked myself what SHMetric stands for?

After randomly changing and a lota soft reboots I found that

SHMetric"=hex:5F,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,12,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,64,00,00,00

5F (dec 95) looks like the X value for the Office background gradient change

(like in Tasks)

the 12 changes the background line height (take font height) to get a nice effect.

Perhaps the colors used in the Calendar are also hidden in here.

Perhaps you can experiment with me and post your results here.

I got a brand new s4 in November. I get random reboots from once a day to multiple times a day. The thing is it always happens when I go to unlock the phone by swiping the unlock screen. It seems to hang and freeze and then reboots. I have updated the software to the latest MK2 and I am NOT rooted, although I plan to soon to uninstall bloatware mainly.

Is there any type of log or an app that will log processes running when this reboot happens? Since it always seems to be during unlock, I have a feeling there is an app that is causing an issue rather than a bum phone which I think would be just randomly rebooting all the time.

The only other times I've seen it reboot is when I go into they call screen to make a call, but that's very rare.

T-MOBILE LG G2 D801

Please bare with me as I dont know that much about rooting/custom rams etc

So I wanted to load some custom software on my LG G2 which my friend had done for me before without problems on my Nexus 4 which i no longer own. He rooted the G2 easily and I settled to get CM11 or 10.2 but first we needed a custom recovery so we tried to go with ClockworkMod but it was not avaible for the D801 variant so we went with TeamWin TWRP so we tried to back up the current ram but the stupid TWRP messed everything up and wiped the whole recovery... Also we where unable to load any other RAMS on their.. we tried all the tricks changed the settings cleared cache reseted everything but it wont work... So my friend said I should go to T-mobile to replace it even though the warranty got voided because he got his s3 replaced before when it was rooted because they did not care... But this time for me they cares and the guy was like no goodbye...
