Oops, I'm a dumb ass. Thinking that I would NEVER use the silly picture frame templates on my MDA, I deleted them in the hope of recovering some storage space. Bad idea.

The problem is that when I cycle through the different modes in the camera app, one of them is looking for those templates, which freaks the camera out.

So...

Could one of you be so kind as to either:

a) Tell me which files I need to put back (I think they're in a sub-folder of My Documents)

b) Make a ZIP file with them so I can restore them?

Thanks!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Mithanx:
Hello guys, I have some questions I am hoping you experienced people can answer for me.

After doing a bunch of research, I am left a bit confused since a lot of the posts are older, and things have changed over the last few months, especially with locked bootloaders and such.

My current phone is:

-Samsung S4 (Fido based) SGH-i337M

-Android Version 4.3

-Baseband Version i337MVLUEMK6

I only want to ROOT the phone, so I can remove a bunch of excess Samsung bloatware that I never use, I am not really interested in custom ROM's at this time.

1. What is a Custom Recovery exactly?

I keep reading about Custom Recoveries but I don't really know what they are exactly... . Is this just a Firmware mirror that I can go back to at any time AFTER I root the device? Do I need to root the device to CREATE the Custom Recovery?

2. CAN I go back to "Stock" easily? Can I just find the original 4.3 Samsung FW and load it up?

3. I know that moving to 4.4 will require another Root when it becomes available later this month from Samsung, however can I go to the Default Android 4.4 ROM at this time, skipping all the Samsung Stuff?

4. I see a programmed called KINGO offering to root my phone for me, but then somebody said something about there not being a Custom Recovery available for it, which goes up to my original question. Can I not just revert back to unrooted status after?

Thanks to anybody who can help me with these noobish questions, I appreciate it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
I don't have your model so don't want to guess at rooting.

But:

Do not remove Bloatware after rooted. Get Titanium BackuP from the Market. The paid version (support devs) and just freeze the apps until you know they have no negative impact after freezing.

Do a Nandroid ASAP and put a copy on PC also.

Read this on your Recovery question:

http://freedupthoughts.com/2013/04/what-is-custom-recovery-why-should-i.html

You have an unlocked bootloader with the i337m

Someone else can address correct rooting for your specific device and get the correct recovery for it. I prefer TWRP.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urbanrazor:
I have a problem with my Motorola defy(non+). After i installed by mistake Android 4.4 with kernel 3.0 by Quarx, my defy wouldn't boot into the OS.

Tried to install another ROM but it ran into a problem and failed. Tried to install after that a new SBF because i don't know why the recovery menu was not there anymore.

Suddenly, after it finished, i noticed the phone won't power up anymore. It happened to me 2 times in the past and just adjusting the charger end into the phone carefully worked and i could power on the phone and install a different sbf and solve the problem but now it's different.

The phone won't power up with that method again.

When i connected the phone into the laptop the white led appeared, but without powering it on, RDS lite identified the device.

I installed a froyo 2.2.2 CEE sbf succesfully(it said) but it doesn't power up and now RDS lite doesn't recognise it either.(LED still works though)

What can i do?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proverbs2:
Try wiping data and cache in the stock recovery. To get into the stock recovery, power off the phone, hold in the volume- button then also press and hold the power button. After a few seconds you should see a triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle, and a little green android guy below that. Then press the volume+ and volume- buttons at the same time, and a menu should appear. Use the volume buttons to navigate the menu, and the power button to select an option. Select "wipe data/factory reset" and also "wipe cache partition". Then try to reboot the phone.

If the phone still won't boot, go into bootloader before connecting to RSD lite. To go into bootloader, power off your phone, then hold in the volume+ button and the power button at the same time. After about 5 seconds, release the buttons. The bootloader should display – it will show the version and a battery check. (If that doesn’t work, pull the battery, then put it back in while holding the volume+ and power buttons.) Then connect USB cable and use RSD Lite to flash sbf again.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urbanrazor:
Hi. So i kinda repaired my defy but it still has a problem. It does not want to charge without using MCGyver method. Everything else works fine, except the phone does not detect my battery so instead it shows a question mark. BTW i deleted by mistake the sbf but i know it was chinese. Only that sbf worked. Could you find me a good working sbf?

I tried to use live dmesg lite to change my boot animation, this failed and I ended up in a boot loop. Some recovery adb fiddling later and I've got a bootable Nexus 10 again, which is great, but now I have no boot animation at all. I noticed that since I told live dmesg to uninstall the animation I have no /system/bin/bootanimation file at all.

If I want the animation back would it be as straight forward as replacing that file? If so, is there anyone here who could provide it? If not, what do I need to do?

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenetvines:
Hello guys. Could somebody on the T-Mobile 30$ unlimited text and data (100min talk) please post what internet speed you get using Speedtest, and what region you live in pretty please?

I read about links to get this offer online without going to Walt-Mart, but not much more info (have searched here).

I use MetroPCS, which has improved in the last few years, and get a solid 0.52Mbps (34.3 kB/s) on another phone (Motion 4G) which is more than enough to use Tunein Radio, Pandora, or iHeartRadio nonstop in Pompano FL. Signal does drop on less rural areas, but it's not bad at all.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dosangst:
T-Mobile on the Moto G in the Atlanta area. Great speeds, mostly H+ 10mbps+ on average.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] showkit:
My moto g arrived last week. I had the gsm tmobile micro Sim and $30 prepaid refill card from Safeway kiosk ready when I called to activate (on line the plan is not shown). The rep began in forming me of many options but I politely told him I wanted the same plan we were using on wife's phone the monthly prepaid $30 5gb 100 minute plan. He said I can do that put me on hold came back in 2 more minutes we were done.

With my testing using speed test I get, depending on signal strength, from256k to 20mg. This is with 3g showing in signal strength bars. I was in Vegas last week for CES and averaged around 9mb the whole time

On my nexus 4 the signal strength indicator shows H for hspa T-Mobile lte. The moto g shows 3g which appears to be old/slower generation but I and others report speed results to be similar to hspa on the nexus4
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cooptx:
It shows 3G, but you are on HSPA+. Check under settings>about phone>status you should see "Mobile Network Type" UMTS is 3G while HSPA+ is H. The US models don't show the H in the status bar.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenetvines:
Thanks for the info guys.

The 30$ unlimited text/data 100min a month seems to have been replaced for the 40$ a month unlimited talk/text but only 500MB of LTE, and then NO data after that unless you pay for it daily/weekly.

That is insane for me, but I guess it makes sense for people in other situations.

Does anyone have more speed results on the older 30$ plan?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DDNV:
I know this thread is a little old, but I got the Moto G off Swappa and the $30 unlimited text data and 100min "kit" at Walmart about a month ago for my teenage daughter. Perfect plan considering teenagers never use a phone for talking, lol. Works great.

The plan may only be available through Walmart now. When I call Tmobile about the plan before buying the kit, they don't me the plan wasn't available, but I had just seen it at the store. So I went back and got the kit. Made a mistake in activating, called Tmobile and the next service person totally knew what I wast talking about and fixed my mistake.

Hi everyone, i'm new at this forum and i have very strange problem with my HTC Sensation.

My friend bought this phone, everything was ok. He unlocked bootloader with HTCdev, flashed CWM and some CM10.1 ROM (and Gapps). Wifi and Bluetooth stopped working. In settings, the switches at wifi and bluetooth was gray. If i open wifi, there was something like "Turning on..." (bluetooth was the same).

Then he gave this phone to me. I wanted to solve this problem. I flashed many ROMs, for example this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2530073 . I tried Wifix, not working. I flashed 4EXTRecovery and tried SmartFlash. I tried flash stock ICS ROM (about 400MB zip), still not working. Then i successful do S-OFF by Juopunut. I have HBOOT-1.27.1111, RADIO-11.25A-3504.13_M.

Please, can anyone help me? :) :crying:
[HTC Sensation] Fakhri 19:
have you tried to re flash the rom with FULL WIPE?? :)
[HTC Sensation] PitnerT:
Yea, i did full wipe everytime. Btw, now it's hard bricket, because i wanted to do completly stock restore and i tried S-ON... Can't power on, LED isn't isn't lighting when charging, can't open bootloader :(:(
[HTC Sensation] PitnerT:
Yea, it didn't work at Ubuntu 8 32bit, but while ago i tried Ubuntu 13 64bit and i have back original HBOOT, its S-ON and LOCKED!!! :)
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i am just curious:)

what exactly did you do and bricked the device?
[HTC Sensation] PitnerT:
i wrote "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" :D

Okay, so i am S-ON, LOCKED bootloader, Security Warning in HBOOT. I have no recovery in this moment. I want flash ION CM11 ROM.

So, how? Do HTCdev or just S-OFF? I will flash 4EXT Recovery... I want working wifi and bluetooth. Thank you :)
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
just to know

you are using this command only after using a ruu.exe and make sure that you have the official hboot version

now just go for S-OFF
[HTC Sensation] PitnerT:
Thanks, i will S-OFF. Must i unlock bootloader by HTCDev after S-OFF? Or just flash recovery, ROM, Kernel, Gapps? :)
[HTC Sensation] PitnerT:
Okay, I did HTCdev Unlock (it was only way to flash something), then flashed 4EXT, then did S-OFF and flashed 3.32 Stock ROM. Wifi and BT still not working :( Please, any ideas? :)
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
wipe dalvik + cache from recovery

by the way it is not the only way to flash something after S-OFF

after S-OFF you could flash from bootloader 3.33 universal from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

it gives also a patched hboot which is unlocked;)
[HTC Sensation] PitnerT:
I always wipe everything... It was only way, without unlocked bootloader i can't do S-OFF :laugh: Yeah, i tried flash 3.33 firmware, than 3.33 ROM, but "Installation aborted (status 1)" :eek:
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
Installation aborted (status 1) from the rom or from the firmware zip?

when you used the ruu.exe to return back to stock did you check the wifi and bluetooth then?

try again flashing the boot.img of the rom via fastboot command
[HTC Sensation] PitnerT:
I didn't use ruu.exe, i flashed 3.33 ROM.zip via 4EXT. So i try some RUU 3.33...
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
now it makes sense

that's why you bricked your device before

never use the writesecureflag command before using any ruu.exe

you should know that:)

note: no need to return to S-ON

just keep the S-OFF status
[HTC Sensation] PitnerT:
this will be ok? Official RUU-Pyramid-ICS-hTC-Europe-3.33.401.5 RUU-Pyramid-ICS-hTC-Europe-3.33.401.6-Radio-11.76A.3504.00U-11.24A.3504.31-M-release-266171-signed.exe

Anyone have idea how to fix it?

Glad I am not going crazy because I have exactly the same issue. I was about to send the phone back as faulty. Once I found the level switch I found it made no difference (although it was already at high). However if I switch the level to low and put the headphone socket half way in (in the Bose) then it fixes the problem.

UPDATE: I fixed it by using the other cord that came with my Bose that doesn't have a microphone. Now I come to think of it, this mike cable is designed for the iPhone so I shouldn't have been surprised.
