[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jpasher:
Yea, my main purpose for starting the thread was to make sure I wouldn't break anything beyond repair by having mismatched bootloaders. It makes perfect sense why corrupting the bootloader would hose things (just like if you corrupted the MBR of your hard drive and had to boot off of alternative media to repair it, except for the fact that the phone does not have the ability to boot alternative media). My ASUS Transformer TF300T is nice in that aspect as the Nvidia chipset allows booting into APX mode which is an extremely low level boot mode that allows repair of almost anything. It should would be nice if the additional bootloader slot on the S2 could be used as a fallback with a way to choose which bootloader to run.

I'm the kind of person that likes to know more about the innards of how something works instead of looking at it as a black box. When I'm "flashing the kernel", I like to know exactly what it is I'm changing so I can understand the repercussions, especially if something goes wrong.

So the net result after this conversation is that I'm a lot more confident about flashing android devices (as long as I stay clear of messing with the bootloader whenever possible). I have CM11 running now too (stock CM kernel) while still on the GB bootloader.

I would like to be able to download apps directly to my SD card. I found some instructions online on how to set this up without "rooting". If you are familiar with the process I would appreciate some help. I got to the part where you are supposed to type the command "adb devices" but my phone does not come up. Why is this and what can I do? I would appreciate if you had a link to a troubleshooting page that already addressed this as well.

root it

it is the best way to move app to sd

u can use l2sd, a2sd

or u can edit your vold.fstab(system/etc)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] villean:
If you have a Samsung it simply can't be done. I have a feeling it's the same with other manufacturers if they aren't already set up for "app to sd". Even rooting won't get it done with a Samsung. There are ROMs that give app to sd functions and there is flashable software that gets the job done. Still no root, no app2sd unless the manufacturer has included it in the firmware.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Visse0704:
Hello.

Is there a way to use/have dualboot independent of which kernel i use !?

I use the Boeffla kernel, but i love the Dualboot function ...

So is there another way to have dualboot?

Or are the Siyah based kernels ( f.e. GoogyMax ) the only way to have it !?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkened_Sky:
no you need googy_max (based on syah) or devil (based on perseus) kernel for dualboot.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hoy128:
I renewed my Sprint contract back in 11/12 and got 2 LGOGs and 1 S3. When I renewed with Sprint, I was told the new phones didn't use WiMax anymore and that they were LTE. Although LTE wasn't out in my area (San Francisco), it should hit the area in a few months. I happily signed up because I've had nothing but good experiences with Sprint in the past. Almost immediately I noticed that the 3G on this new network was super slow, I'm talking speed tests of 0.02 - 0.20 mbps slow. I just sat on it and used WiFi where I could waiting for the 4G LTE signal. As 2013 flew by and many contacts to Sprint, I was told LTE would be in by the end of 2013. Well, its 2014 and I still don't have LTE nor do I even have 3G speeds that I can use on any of my phones. No one at sprint customer service seems to want to help me.

Does anyone know of a way to get Sprint to do the right thing and kill my ETF so that I can make the choice to move to a carrier that I can use? I've given them over a year to get their stuff together but they continue to sell a network that doesn't exist. I don't even care if I have to send them my old phone. But before people say "sell your phones to pay for the ETF." Unfortunately my current financial situation doesn't allow me to outright pay for new phones on top of paying for my ETF while I wait to see if I can sell the old phones.

At this point, I'm just tired of being mad....I'm just looking for some help.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Yeah, I only use Sprint because of the unlimited data on my plan(it's super cheap) and because rooting doesnt technically void the warranty. 3G is fine here in Pittsburgh, 4G/LTE is hit or miss. It's here, just not close to my house. Take a 10 minute drive - the signal is strong and download speeds are fast. However there are huge pockets where there is no service.

Their customer service has gotten worse in the last few years in my experience as well. It used to be different, now they really don't seem to care about much....

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hystrix0:
Anyone know of a custom rom for the Nexus7 (grouper) that removes the built-in android feature to enable safe mode via volume down key?

Reason: I have a nexus 7 with a broken volume down key.

Therefore it always boots into fastboot, and then then on start, boots into safe mode.

Steps taken to rectify button problem:

1. I have already replaced the Power & Volume Button Cable and it did not fix it. I am assuming that it is a mainboard issue.

2. I have also re-flashed 4.4.2 (KOT49H) factory image, just in case something was stuck.

So I was thinking if it could be solved via software (custom rom), by either disabling safe boot entirely or remapping keys early enough in the boot sequence.

Seems a shame for this thing to be almost useless (no 3rd party apps) just because of a broken volume button.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

When you try to use the gps the tab n grid crashes right? well this is the solution for every version of tab n grid for every model... im not sure if this bug exist in all models but the ones who have this bug you can do this :)

when you enter a app that uses gps the tab n grid shuts down to resolve that bug just go with this steps:

1: first use this tutorial to decompile and compile the

SystemUI.apk

-> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2251719

2: after you decompile, go into

SystemUI

folder then -> res\drawable\stat_sys_gps_acquiring_anim.xml

the :o its -> : o without the white space, i didnt know how to put the code here in an other way

it should be something like this:

3: and you delete this line:

it should look like this:

4: Save and recompile.

5: Open the recompiled

SystemUI.apk

with winrar and delete

AndroidManifest.xml

open the official

SystemUI.apk of tab n grid

(the one that you used to decompiled) and copy

META-INF

and

AndroidManifest.xml

to the new

SystemUI.apk

(the one you compiled) using winrar.

if you want an example of a tab n grid v1 for xperia j with 1 % step circle battery image and gps bug fixed, its in the attachments BTW I added full translation of tab n grid for Portuguese-Portugal for the oder languages is the same as the official tab n grid.

common problems related to

rooting, flashing , and system errors

on all galaxy devices​

Well hey guys, I thought of helping the beginners over here to over come some of their common problems faced while ROOTING, FLASHING, AND SYSTEM ERRORS that they get.Hope the FAQ and the solutions help you out.​

You people are open to ask any question related to it.

I'm open to answer any kinda noob or above average questions :D​

FAQ's

1. How do i root my device , install CWM , flash a ROM?

Every almost every galaxy mobile has a specific rooting procedure and a CWM and a rom available for it. You need to do a search to find the appropriate files for your device (rooting and flashing is actually so easy am open to provide you files)

2. I'm getting a Status 7 error !!

The most commonly denoted error is the great status 7 error. this is caused due to certain issues basically due to

* A corrupted download file (culprit for this error almost 99%)

* A lower version of CWM

* The wrong Rom file for your device.

* Unsupported recovery by a Rom.

these are the major causes for status 7 error

3. I'm facing bootloops !

Bootloops are minor problems and can be sorted out easily the common solutions for bootloop are:

* If you are downgrading from a hight version of android to a lower one after downgrading you MUST go to recovery and clear wipe data,cache.

* If you mobile is continuously rebooting it might be a bad .zip file

* Even when things so well and nothing helps you out i can flash the stock rom using odin and start everything again

4. Am stuck at BOOTANIMATION

Well again bootloop and boot animation can be caused by the same causes

* Make sure you always clear cache and dalvik before updating with the rom your using

* Make sure your using the correct update and dont update a rom with nightlies which are a month ahead of ur current rom

* In case doesnt work out do a factory data rest , wipe cache , dalvik and do a clean installation

5. Flashing kitkat roms getting status 7 or some other error ??

This is a newly emerging problem specially on kitkat roms. the main cause for this problem is an OUTDATED CWM. It's recommended that you update your CWM incase of this error ( now the worst case scenario is next Q)

6. Flashed a kitkat rom but constantly booting to the recovery or stuck at bootloop or any other porblems...!!

SOLUTION(S):

* Incase your constantly rebooted to your recovery flash an older version of the rom that your flashing ( for example incase you are using Cyanogenmod and changed to another rom but while flashing CM 11 your facing the error that means that the recently changed rom's recovery is outdated so flash a cm10.2 latest nightly without gapps and you'll get an updated CWM in which you can flash your CM 11 kitkat rom

thread will be updated daily please check and ask your problems too :laugh:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] maxoveride:
Hi folks,

I had just picked up the ZU last night, first thing I tried to do was to configure my office email. First it made me charge the phone to a decent amount of juice for the encryption part. Once I did that, I hit next, it prompts me to key in the pin and I do see the Android Encryption for a bit, before it reboots and after that I am setting up my phone all over again (like it went thru a factory reset).

I've tried doing it again but the same thing happened. I am now using an app called Divide which is really good, but somehow I would like to have the default email app working.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] razzack3000:
Hi, So one day I woke up and updated my rom... All of a sudden my data stopped working and I got deactivated. I had also just gotten my Nexus 5 so I just went to the store and got that activated... When I wanted to sell the S3 I needed to make sure that the ESN is clean. So I called customer service and they said my ESN number was clean... So i basically went back to stock and unrooted. But when I go to settings and about phone and device status... All the ESN info and etc is 0s and everything isn't correct. I have the right numbers on the back of the phone but in phone its all wrong. Customer care says that it can be activated but that's just through me supplying the number on the back... My question is whether the phone can really be activated considering that the ESN codes can't be access via setting but only though back of the phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] drago10029:
Try a new or battery that has worked fine for you. also, clean flash your phone on a stock ROM and don't install any apps for a hour or so. See if the drain still exist. Best way to test it out!

1. You need to install Koush Universal ADB Driver for LG G2.

2. Connect your G2 with ADB. With that universal driver ADB will find your phone.

3. And after you have ADB access, run this:

adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/sdcard/fota-backup.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
