And do NOT loose another stock backup again !

Edit :

Relocking the bootloader is not needed. The 1.29 and the 3.16 are available. The 1.29 is probably of no use because i don't think you find official ota with that anymore. The 3.16 may be of use but therefore we need your main. If your main is lower you cant use it either !

You can find them here

Hello everyone I tried searching before posting this but I couldn't really find any good info

Ive stock 4,3 not rooted and I've no idea about my bootloader but most probably locked :D

I'm having a sudden Wifi disconnect like each 20 minutes and when I don't have a disconnect the net is terribly slow!

I'm wondering anyone else having same troubles or it's just my bad luck...

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beowulf6:
Hello,

Since the official update to Android 4.3 I also get issues with wlan when I am at work.

It might connect normally at first

But after some time I notice that I do not longer get data over it and most of the time it does no longer find the wlan in the settings, everyone else however can still connect fine, however most people are using iPhones but Even a galaxy s3 had no issues so it is no issue with the access point.

I also had it 2 times that I couldn't even disable wlan anymore (active again after reopening the settings)

Funny thing is that I have no issues with my home wlan that is a fritzbox.

On android 4.2.2 I never had an issue.

Everything stock, no root.

I am using a smartwatch 2. Not sure why it got mentioned here.

Free Beer* for anyone who can help!

I have a serious problem with my nexus 7 (2012) which I have been researching and working on for many months now to no avail. For this reason I am offering a free beer to anyone who can help (t's&c's apply)!

Background:

The device has stock 4.2.2 rooted installed along with Multirom which has CM10, paranoid android and Ubuntu (desktop).

All this ran fine for a while. I then noticed that if I made any change to the stock rom, update an app, download an app, change the wallpaper, download a file to any part of the filesystem... that when I rebooted the tablet that change would not be there... The wallpaper would be back as it was or the file simply didn't exist! It was as if the filesystem was mounted as non - persistent.

So I tried the other rooms on the tablet and realised they would not boot. All except Ubuntu which was working fine however doesn't mount the internal storage so I couldn't test any further.

I attempted to re flash back to stock. Using flashboot I cleared the cache, system, user data etc and had no errors and then flashed the stock rom. After rebooting my old system appeared to my surprise.

I have tried since then to re flash everything. Recovery won't update (currently TWRP) and the only time I get any error message is when trying to re flash the bootloader which is currently 4.18, everything seems to go well and then "signature match" appears on the tablet screen and it hangs leaving an error in the fastboot terminal reading "Remote: ()"

If anyone can help me fix this issue then the beer is yours... The only stipulation is you have to be in Ireland to claim it :) but what better excuse for a holiday ;)

Thanks in advance.

Kieran
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
So what do you want to do? Get rid of the multirom and get back to stock? If so do you care about your data?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KMDDesign:
Exactly that! Don't care about data, just want a stock working image.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattsolberg:
I'm having the exact same issue. Tablet reboots after 5 seconds after the lock screen loads so I thought I'd erase user data and re flash the rom. Except that it doesn't actually flash, or erase anything. I've tried toolkits and fastboot. And the log always says the flash has performed successfully but it always reboots to the same old rom, wallpaper, all data still intact.

It's almost like the partitions are write protected and won't allow any data changes.

If anyone can help with this issue, I'll double the free beer offer!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KMDDesign:
Can I just ask, are you using multirom aswell? Your the only other person I've heard of with the problem, we should go more notes and try and narrow this down.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattsolberg:
No multi-rom. I've found about a half dozen other threads with people experiencing the same thing. It's rare, but it's not just me. Being completely unable to wipe data has me thinking there might be a hardware issue at play.

I'll post links to some of the other threads. Thanks for offering to help. I'm willing to try anything at this point.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ckavvouras:
So I've been thinking about picking up a new note 3 and I'm curious about a few things before I buy and any input would be great

1: if I root the note 3 will I trip Knox if I debloat ? Or would I have to freeze anything I don't want to run

2: anyone know if bestbuy extended warranty is void if I trip Knox?

3: can I still ruin Knox if I root it or will I have to freeze all Knox related software?

4: can I restore stock Rom via Odin or whatever other method without tripping Knox?

Thanks :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Probably be better if you posted that over in the note 3 section...

:confused::confused:

Might get a better response from people actually using the device...

Concerning the note 3 there's ways around the Knox thing...

But personally we're in the New year, so that means a new device is going to be coming soon...

That's why I didn't jump at the 3. Still missing some features that will be addressed in the next release...

Just to name a few for you, 64 bit, Ois(optical image stabilization)... I read they might use sapphire crystal, as the glass for the new devices...

Superior stuff there. Same thing they use on expenses watches...

I'll say do some Google searching b4, you jump the gun...

Just my 3¢™
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wiijordends:
1. No, it doens't if you have froze all KNOX related things, something with ELM and security service update (with/grey shild icon).

2. I don't know how it is in your country, but in my country you lose automatic your shop warranthy, even if you flash anything to stock or even if you're on the first 2 warranthy years.

3. You can still use it but it's highly recommanded to NOT use it. Freezing KNOX apps is the safest method because somethimes SuperSu and KNOX getting in conflict with each other. If you like you can even debload it.

4. Yes you can!

I highly recomend to root with the KingoRoot method. It's a program for your Windows desktop and you can get it here

Just select Note 3 by devices:

http://www.kingoapp.com/

It's an easy tool to ROOT your device without tripping the KNOX counter!

I hope this is helpfull for you and sorry for my bad English.

Hi,

Is there any way I can replace the boring/useless boot charging animation with recovery mode in android (4.0 or higher)? If yes, can someone guide me on how to achieve this feat?

Thanks in advance!

[Hardware Hacking General] rbeavers:
You can change the animation. Recovery has to go into the the proper place in phone memory. Two different things.

Thanks for the revert.

Basically, I meant that I want to open recovery automatically when my phone is charging in offline mode. This is doable. Its just that I want to know how this can be implemented in MTK based devices.

The Tasker app. should do it. Set a rule when chargers plugged in. To boot into recovery or Run an app that will do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] büscher:
I browse xda alot and stumbled up on many weird issues.

Maybe this thread could be an advise-thread like "don't use your Gnex with a Netgear N Wifi AP"

If there is no interest in this thread, just let it die ;)

This is not a thread related to a specific ROM. More for flashaholic people like me who encounter little issues that occur on many different ROMs.

I will list my issues so you get an idea why I started this thread:

- If I connect my Gnex to the charger and use it, almost every time PIE will break and I cant navigate anymore (AOSP-PIE) - I have to reboot my phone.

- If I connect my Gnex to my schools WiFi (CISCO Hardware) I have constant data-download activity and my battery drains in no time

- Sometimes if I connect my Gnex to the charger it behaves like it gets plugged in and out very frequently

- At home, connected to my WiFi (Netgear Router) I have to constantly wake my Gnex to receive new messages (Whatsapp, Mail, etc.)

Maybe we can help each other with tips?

- cheers :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Securitom:
I restored my phone to factory default recently, with the intent of moving on to a new Cyanogenmod version. After the factory settings were restored, it took an OTA update to 4.1.2. I then tried following the guide on androidable to root it (would post the link, but apparently newbies can't)

After trying and failing several times to flash the VRALEC bootchain to my phone (I am not sure why it failed, Odin just gave me an error message every time I tried), I decided to go back to factory default again, thinking 4.0.0 would accept the VRALEC bootchain and that 4.1.2 might be the issue, but after flashing the stock image again I get the yellow triangle of death.

I have since tried flashing the VRALEC and VRBMD3 bootchains, tried flashing clockworkmod recovery, and though the phone appears to take the stock image and VRBMD3, I can't get past the yellow triangle screen on startup. Because of this, I can't check to see if USB debugging is still enabled, and I can't access the phone memory to attempt to delete whatever software is causing the issue.

Is anybody able to help me?

UPDATE: I followed the entire guide here: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1190002&d=1341959095

I successfully flashed VRALF and Root66, but VRALEC would still not install. While the rest of the process transpired as described in the guide, the end result is still giving me the yellow triangle of death.

UPDATE 2: When trying to flash VRALEC, this is the output message I get from odin

Could you post exactly what's on your screen when you just boot into download mode? Secondly, are you absolutely positive that you accepted OTAs up to 4.1.2? Any chance you accepted 4.3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Did you use the bootloader option when you tried to flash the Boot chain VRALEC. Don't use PDA option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Securitom:
I tried it both ways, no results on either.

I confirmed that I didn't get 4.3 because I checked in the "about phone" right after I did that.

Download mode screen shows the following:

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE

Warranty bit: 1

BOOTLOADER AP SWAEV: 1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I hate to tell it to you but that's the latest 4.3 VRUCML1 software. Download mode for 4.1.2 and older only has (notice what is missing):

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I535

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD:

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE

You'll need to do this soft brick method to recover. Since you're on 4.3, you can not flash a custom recovery, custom rom/kernel, nor downgrade your software via Odin to anything except 4.3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
What Odin version did you use? Try different Odin version see if it helps. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2189539 Also reboot your PC to start fresh. If still not working then try to reflash with Pit file and MF1 full stock rom using Odin.

I feel the more people that express their success there, the less fear down the road someone else may have with the method. :highfive::good:

As of this moment, all anyone knows is that you're stuck on TW 4.3 unless a tool is ported to allow custom roms/kernels. You can only root 4.3 using Saferoot which is linked in our TW 4.3 discussion thread. You can be sure if any big developments on cracking 4.3 open will be covered there.

Hello all,

I recently dropped my phone and when I tried to turn it back on, it wouldn't turn on. There's no light on anywhere in the phone. I opened up the phone and checked all the connections, seems like everything is still intact and connected. I have given up on trying to diagnose the problem on this phone, so i'm asking y'alls help. Could it just be a battery problem? or is it a hardware problem that's unfixable? Can I send this phone somewhere and get it fixed, if so, how much would it cost me? Thank You in advance.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Carty:
Its more unlikely for the battery to get damaged on drop down. Its definitely a hardware. Hope your baby is still under warranty, the you can even get a replace done for free. Else the charge may vary by the diagnosis. Anyway i hope it wont be of much expense if the display is intact by the dropped force, probably there wont be of much damage.

Regards

Carty..
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
Hi,

I had the same prob. & send it to the service center. Luckily they replaced my phone for free. Still don't know what the real problem was, very unlikely the battery though cause I got it back with a half charged one (probably mine which I had to send in as well).

No good news for you afterall, I do really feel with you in these horrible times.

Regards, M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] balut:
Yeah, i'm thinking of just buying another phone, because I don't have warranty on this phone anymore and even if I did, I have voided the warranty on it by opening it up. I'm still gonna get a new battery for it though, just to see if it is the battery, if not then I guess my loss. Atleast I found out that it wasn't the battery.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
Does it show evident marks of being opened up by you? Cause that was the main reason I didn't try opening it, too afraid voiding the warranty. Though I had it unlocked & patched for BS too.

So I just gave it a try & in my case it worked out fine.

Refards, M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] JDark:
I suppose, problem is connected not to battery, but to battery cover/switch. Look at the photo: there is a pin on the battery cover. Usually, when cover is on the right place, it presses the switch down. Try to check at first, if switch is broken or not. When pressed, it have to short circuit. You can just short it by piece of wire and see, what's happened. If swich is not closed, jam will never turn on, even if you have charged battery, or AC adaptor connected.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] balut:
I tried that already, but I will check the cover and see the latch on the battery cover is broken or not, maybe it is. I'll try it when i get home.
