[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivapersad:
Good day everyone,

I bought a couple Nexus 7 2012 tablets off eBay and received them today. Upon booting up the tabs I saw that they had cellular options. I rebooted both of them and the variant is "Grouper". I know the name of the WiFi only model is "Nakashi". Has anyone ever experienced this when they purchased the N7 2012?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
The factory image files from Google are using the name nakasi while the model name is grouper, so everything is fine.

[MENTION=5659276]Jvov[/MENTION] you can mount your internal SD card using your custom recovery :)
[General Questions and Answers] Jvov:
Really? Oh snap thank you so much! You just won a thank point ^^ :D
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
Here's how you can do it, boot into recovery mode. Select mounts and storage, go down till you find, mount USB storage. Make sure your cable is connected to your phone and the male part of the USB is in your PC. Your PC will detect your device, and an mtp window of such will pop up. Transfer the new files and continue. This time just wipe factory/reset data. And install the .zip's then reboot!

Hope I helped and good luck!

[General Questions and Answers] Jvov:
Oh, I noticed you have a Nexus 5, how good is that phone? I think I will buy the HTC M8 but maybe a shot at Nexus 6 when it comes out? Who knows!
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
Oh, the Nexus 5 is simply great it has some drawbacks but none of that matters because of the specs, its pretty much a lag free phone. And when switching from Dalvik VM to ART runtime. The phone flies.

The phones great for the price as well, good support for the device from both Google and developers here.

The nexus will not be called nexus 6 as nexus devices nowadays are named by the screen size. It most likely will be called Nexus 5 (2014) or Nexus x (the size of screen)

But overall the phone is pretty sweet! And the HTC Mate looks quite interesting!
[General Questions and Answers] Jvov:
Oh no just checked bootloader, apparently when it got S-ON it got tempered aswell and when I try to mount there is an USB something error :c
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
Why not try and s-off your phone again?
[General Questions and Answers] Jvov:
Now I am running Linux on VMWare, how do I S-Off it when I can't even boot? Also do you have skype? Really need some help mate :/
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
Sorry no I don't. As I owned an HTC desire x but we couldn't get s-off on it so I don't really know how to s-off without booting device.

Trying searching around the forum if its possible.
[General Questions and Answers] Jvov:
Nevermind, got it, ADB'd OneDroid ROM to it ^^ it doesn't need S-Off so I will use that and then I sort out my Tampered and S-ON thing. Just one last favor, send me a link where it teaches how to S-Off for me please? Thanks a lot buddy you were very useful and won't be forgotten :D
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:

Hi Folks, I have just got my hands on a brand spanking new O2 XDA Exec and what a beauty it is too!!!

I am having a few irritating problems though... If I plug in the charger the handset charges just fine. When I plug in the USB cable and connect to my pc it fails and in order for me to get it working I have to perform a repair to the active sync software on the pc. This has to be done repeatedly whenever I boot up my machine. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Can you help a first time XDA user?

Cheers in anticipation
[General Topics] underwurlde:
Weird!

I hope you are using Windows XP with

SP2

running ActiveSync

v4.1

.

If not you'll have to be shot at dawn.

Andy
[General Topics] mitzy:
thanks Andy for your reply...

I will head out at dawn with my service revolver...

I'm affraid I'm running W2K with active sync v4.1.0

Any sugestions other than upgrading to xp?
[General Topics] Rudegar:
guess latest sp for 2k and other windows update

and maybe usb drivers for the motherboard
[General Topics] mitzy:
cheers Rudegar,

I'm running W2K service pack 4 and auto update regularly! I think I'm fully up to date...
[General Topics] underwurlde:
Oh, another thought...

You're not connecting via an 'USB Hub' are you?

If you are, I'm afraid I'll have to flay the man-flesh from your puny frame.

I have had no experience of said 'hubs' but I read a lot of reference to them here & AVIODING their use.

No doubt you have COMPLETELY uninstalled ActiveSync,

rebooted

, reinstalled &

rebooted

again. Doing this may give your system the proverbial 'kick up the arse'.

Andy
[General Topics] mitzy:
Not a USB hub in sight Andy!

I have indeed un-installed rebooted and re-installed as you mention and still the problem persists...I will see what happens when I reboot next time

If the problem isn't resolved I'll install XP I've just been lazy no to do so up until now...

Cheers
[General Topics] underwurlde:
Hmmm.

I have been a user of Win2K (many moons ago) and am not necessarily against its use, but in the context of this discussion, I don not actually know if things CAN actually work under 2K or not.

HOWEVER

BT support was only 'properly' introduced under XP and even that had to wait for SP2, so go figure for Win2K <- hence may be an idea to look at that monster known as microsoft.com to see what pops up in the Knowledge Database re 'Windows 2000 & Bluetooth'

Now, XP SP2 was not perfect by a hell of a long shot - in my mind it is SEVERELY lacking and as a result I spent almost 2 weeks unearthing bugs, workarounds and tracking down suitable drivers!!!!! All as the result of a) piss poor programming and b) the unnecessary restrictions place on the 'proper' WIDCOMM Bluetooth drivers put in place by its new owner Broadcom.

The pitfalls re: XP SP2 & things I have learnt / discovered I therefore recorded for all....

Andy

BTW, Out of all those I've used over the years, there is only 1 Windows based OS other than XP running SP2 that I have any faith in & that was good old trusty Win98!!!!!! Win2K just got on my tits for some reason & didn't last very long!
[General Topics] Rudegar:
well both my cradle and my bluetooth dongle are connected to a hub

and i dont have any issues

again i would check for usb drivers for the motherboard

like from via, sis, ali, nvidia, intel or who ever makes the chipset

on the motherboard

cpu-z shold show which chipset the motherboards use
[General Topics] mitzy:
Cheers Guys,

Having reinstalled the active sync software for a fifth time! I seem to have solved the problem!!

At least for now... I guess that there was a problem with the USB drivers that has been fixed it seems fine for now but I'll post again if the problem comes back

Many thanks

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] moomoobaabaa:
Hello,

I recently bought an S4 from Sprint, but I'm working overseas in Vietnam. They assured me that they had unlocked the phone, but, well, it's Sprint and the phone wasn't unlocked when I put my SIM in. Therefore, I rooted and downgraded my baseband to MDC and did the unlock method, which worked. However, ever since then I haven't been able to receive calls (I can still make them though).

When people call me, the phone rings on their end but nothing shows up on my end.

Here are solutions I've tried:

- Various Roms (Jellybean & Kitkat)

- Upgrading the Baseband to MJA

- Clearing the Cache

Anyone have any ideas what the problem is? Thanks!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corrosivefrost:
I pulled a boneheaded move and ended up formatting my phone from within the TWRP menu. Now the stock operating system is gone.

I wanted to put on one of the Gummy Nightly builds, but I'm new to TWRP and selected the wrong options while wiping.

So now I have the Gummy ROM on my PC, the phone is connected to my PC and in TWRP (in the advanced adb sideload feature), but adb will not recognize my phone.

When I check device manager, SAMSUNG_Android_SCH-I535 is there, but with a yellow "cauton" symbol. When I look at properties, it tells me that "The drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28).

I went out to the Samsung page and got the exe to unpack drivers on my machine... I've tried "update driver" and pointing to the root of the directory containing the Samsung drivers, but my PC claims none of them are applicable.

So what I'm looking for here is:

(1) How do I get this ROM on my phone so that I can install the zip and have a working OS again?

(2) Assuming that using the ADB Sideload feature of TWRP is my best option, how do I get the device drivers for my galaxy s3 installed to my windows 8 PC and get adb to detect it?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corrosivefrost:
Ok, so it seems to have gotten worse.

I cannot get my windows installation to recognize the phone without it being able to boot an android OS, it seems.

I had it in TWRP 2.6.0.0, but as I was trying to reboot to see if I could get into download mode (my thought being to change out TWRP for Clockwork; I seem to remember Clockwork Recovery having a "mount as USB" option which TWRP seems to lack), it tried to root the file system.

After that, the screen went black and nothing happened... the phone was unresponsive. I would remove the battery and replace it to have it vibrate once and then not respond to any key presses.

I removed the battery, SD card, and SIM card, replacing only the battery and got it to turn on and show a Samsung Galaxy SIII logo... but it's just sitting there... I'm assuming it's frozen because there's no OS to boot on the internal storage.

Please help me recover my phone!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corrosivefrost:
Ok, so I've found I can still get into download mode, but not into recovery.

Recovery seems to lead to a black screen with nothing on it.

Trying to boot normally leads to the statis Samsung Galaxy SIII logo.

Can I fix my phone from the download menu?

Please help me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
Install kies and at the end of the install make sure you check install unified drivers. Then flash root66 through Odin. After that you should be good to install ROMs again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corrosivefrost:
Thanks for the reply!

Sorry, I'm a little out of date on the flashing and stuff -- I was just over in the thread where the poster thought he half softbricked his phone and was asking about 4.1.2 vs. 4.3

I see this at the top of my screen sitting here in download mode:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I535

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (6 counts)

CURRENT BINARY: Custom

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE

It seems my bootloader got relocked somehow -- is this why my phone just goes to black screen when I attempt to boot into recovery -- even if I have TWRP or CWR installed? Odin claims I just pushed philz custom CWR to my PDA section, but it still won't go into recovery.

What are my options here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
You are pre 4.3 I'll help you more in the morning if no one else does first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corrosivefrost:
Ok, thanks -- I appreciate that someone's willing to help! Googling stuff is just getting me more and more confused.

I'll stay tuned for help and turn off my phone so I don't screw things up further in the meantime.

My desired result here, I think is to have my bootloader remain unlocked (as I was under the impression it was, since I was running TWRP with rooted stock ROM), with CWR as the custom recovery software and Gummy as my current ROM.

Side note: I've noticed I don't even get a battery indicator on the main screen now when I press the home button -- is this because of whatever's causing my recovery to not work (and the potential lack of an OS)?

Thanks in advance. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Once you in download mode, can your Odin see your phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corrosivefrost:
I believe it can. After TWRP stopped working, I tried to replace it with CWR and the digital flash count went up (Odin showed no errors on the flash) -- recovery still won't work though, holding vol+/home/power simply gives me a black screen after I see the SAMSUNG logo with the recovery boot text in the upper left.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
What stock version do you have on your phone right now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corrosivefrost:
None? :silly:

I think before this fiasco, it was running whatever version was previous to the new VZW update.

It was the fact that the new update was trying to install and failing repeatedly (because my bootloader was unlocked, I think?) that prompted me to look into finally switching to a ROM. However, my unfamiliarity with TWRP led to me formatting my phone (everything, it seems, including the SD card)... so I'm not really sure what' "on the phone right now". :\

I'm really not sure what kind of state anything is in at this point -- other than Odin seemingly working and being able to get into download mode.

Again, short version of what happened:

(1) Accidentally did a full wipe (factory reset?) in TWRP -- this wiped the ROM I was going to install with TWRP off the phone.

(2) While trying to ADB sideload from TWRP and telling TWRP to reboot, TWRP tried to install supersu.

(3) After (2), I was unable to get back into recovery mode. I got into Odin and tried to flash philz customer clockwork recovery and it seemed successful. Reboot and attempt to enter recovery still fails. Samsung logo with recovery mode text appears, but then the screen goes black.

(4) Normal boot leaves the screen stuck on the Samsung Galaxy SIII logo indefinitely.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
OK, download this image and flash with Odin(you should be using Odin version 3.07) http://goo.im/devs/invisiblek/i535/stock.vzw_root66.tar This should bring your phone back from the dead.

Edit: after you have your phone up and running, download goo manager and install cwm recovery since your phone is pre rooted already.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corrosivefrost:
Ok, that looks like some version of the stock vzw ROM with root already installed?

This is what ThePagel seemed to recommend as well before I ended up with more questions about what was going on before I did it.

What part of Odin do I flash to? PDA again, just like a custom recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
​

Yes, it's pre rooted stock image and yes flash with PDA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corrosivefrost:
Standard auto-reboot and f_reset_time options? nothing else necessary?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Correct. When you click on PDA and select the image, give it time to showup in Odin cause the size is big.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corrosivefrost:
Alright, I'll give it a shot and report back.

Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
If that doesn't work you'll need to flash the bootchain first. I don't have a link but I could find it if you need to use it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Yes if the bootloader is still locked he needs boot chain can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2046439
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corrosivefrost:
It did work! Hooray!

Didn't need to go that far -- but now that I'm back up and running, signed into google play, and downloaded goo manager, can you point me in the right direction for getting it to install cwm recovery?

Thanks guys!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
To my knowlage it will only install twrp ROM manager installs cwm but pesonaly I dislike cwm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Open goomanager, tab on the 3 little boxes on the top right, selec install recovery script, then select the recovery and let it install.

haha...I agreed but don't open the can of worm!! let take the easy route first...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corrosivefrost:
Hrmmm....

I'm a bit afraid of TWRP after this fiasco... but it seems that I can't even get my system to boot into recovery.

I haven't tried the recovery that came with the stock ROM that we flashed above, but I did flash philz custom cwm and booting to recovery gave me that same Samsung logo with the blue text in the upper right that says it's booting to recovery and then black screen and no response.

Do you guys have any suggestions to fix this part of my phone? Without a custom recovery image installed and working, I'm stuck on this root66 ROM and the first thing it tried to do was an OTA update...

I'm currently reflashing the root66 image via ODIN so I can see if that recovery image will boot ... I'll update once it's done.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Hey once you're done, please boot back into stock recovery (download mode) and let me now the status of your bootloader. If it's locked you can't install custom recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Stock recovery is not download mode, it is stock recovery.

[MENTION=2673855]corrosivefrost[/MENTION]

Try holding volume up, power, and home then let go of the power button when you feel the phone vibrate.

Ok, bootloader is unlocked, and I've been able to use EZ-Recovery to install a custom recovery of my choosing... a new problem has popped up though.

Something is marking my phone as a "d2spr" and I need a "d2vzw".

After wiping my data again, I encounter this error when I try to install:

"This package is for "d2vzw" devices; this is a "d2spr"."

I'm assuming that the d2spr is coming from the root66.zip? And it means it's a sprint phone? This is ridiculous, as my phone is 100% verizon.

Can someone advise on how to fix this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Yes, you're correct, it's the image of rout66. But ignore it, because you're going to move on and Odin MF1, we just want to fix your custom recovery issue first.

Nope, just Odin MF1, this bring you back to pure stock JB with JB bootloader, then follow the link to do the unlock/root/cwm.
