[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bones718:
I was able to install custom recovery the first time i rooted my new 4.1.2 device, now after trying dn3 rom and reflashing between different FACTORY firmware flashes from 4.1.1 back to 4.1.2 several times i am unable to install any custom recovery through odin. Also tried using goo manager method for twrp.

Triangle away does not work for me.

I used stock recovery wipe /delete /wipe cache after every single time, with no luck to fix. Every time I try installing cwm or twrp(goo manager) it reboots as if everything is fine but still goes back to stock recovery. My binary count is around 12 now.

Am i doing something wrong?

This is the first time i encountered this. I have a t-mobile t889.

thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrhughy:
Do you get error message using odin, are you using the latest odin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Double0EK:
Slow down.

Flashing FACTORY Firmwares UN-roots your device.

So you'll need to re-root it. The easier method, since youre using Odin, is to grab one of the Root Injected Firmwares found in the Developmet thread (its pinned. Find Mr.Robinsons Thread)

Once its successful you can flash the recovery and clear your counts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bones718:
forgot to mention i fixed it after posting. the cfroot package i was using the entire time also reinstalled stock recovery without my knowledge

all i had to do was find a cfroot by itself. i installed philz touch after . my stupid mistake. all good now. thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VuDuCuRSe:
My Galaxy Nexus is running CM11 since day one and before that I was running PlayfulGod's Unnofficial port.

Every couple of days the phone simply crashes/hangs. It happened at night few hours after I last touched it, it happened during the day while simply laying at sleep in the desk and even while using it. The phone simply stops responding.

If it crashes while sleeping the phone appears to be dead, while active, the screen will remain frozen until the battery is dead (guessing... didn't really wait until the battery ran out).

Removing the battery and re-inserting and the phone will work, typically showing a big hit on the battery level.

I assume there's some CPU activity going on because I can feel the area near the camera warmer (not hot) than the rest.

I opened this topic to follow the issue raised on this post:

At least amrs seems to be having this issue.

Maybe with more reports we may understand what is causing this crashes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amrs:
I didn't have any problems for a few days, after installing 0112 nightly. Turns out I didn't have any deep sleep either according to Better Battery Stats. A reboot fixed that but then I got a crash quickly again. I realized weather info was odd in the lock screen so locked and tried to unlock and nothing. Couldn't even get in with adb shell this time.

So I guess deep sleep has something to do with this. I've been using the hotplug CPU governor most recently but I think this happened with interactive too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VuDuCuRSe:
I'm all stock... kernel, CPU/GPU settings and so on... so I guess that it shouldn't be related to that.

Do you know of any good debugging app to eventually save some sort of evidence of the crash?

I tried plugging the USB cable on the last crash but the computer/adb didn't detect the phone. :(

[Galaxy Note 3 General] MarkAndroid:
Hi, when I connect my PC to note3 can not I see the folders and files preceded by a dot (eg. .thumbnails.; .adobedigitaledition)

On the PC I checked the item displays hidden folders but nothing!

From the FileExplorer of Android on the other hand I can see all content
[Galaxy Note 3 General] A.N.Droid:
did you check "show system folders" also ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MarkAndroid:
Yes. Nothing. Do not show!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] A.N.Droid:
i have no solution for your problem but you could try out droid manager.

this windows tool should show every folder. it has many features, beside the filebrowser, that might be usefull for you too.

i just bought a pro license to unlock wifi. usb mode is free.

crashes sometimes on my pc, but its ok...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
Did you disable 'hide file extension'?

Because technically everything after the dot is a file extension to Windows if there's no actual file extension.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MarkAndroid:
I'd like to use it, mainly because I would only connect via USB, but it seems to be very complicated.

I can not even find the link to download the version 7!

Hide extensions for known file types is NOT checked.

Were you referring to this?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
I was.

Can you see the generic Windows hidden folders? There's a bug that happens sometimes that makes hidden folders invisible even if the setting is set to "show".

Seems you're still unlocky when it comes to devices... :eek: Did you ever solve the mismatching files on your TF700?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MarkAndroid:
You can see the hidden folders.

If I put the card into a reader files are visible.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Pierre118:
If you want to see the hidden folders use Droid Manager.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] MarkAndroid:
I'm trying but it's hard!

I can not get it started.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] A.N.Droid:
Yes, it is a bit complicated first and the ui could be cleaner too.

I couldnt get it to work using n3 custom kernel. Some error about ls option, ..., showed up trying to use the filebrowser. I switched to civz kernel and now it works. For some operations you may need to install the adb insecure app by chainfire.

Hm, you have usb debugging enabled, dont you ?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Pierre118:
I had contact with the developer, and he is preparing a update of the app. If you have ideas of your own, go to the thread and put them there. He is very flexible, and he listens to your suggestions.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] A.N.Droid:
thanks, good to know !

it really needs to improve a lot but its ok for now. i dont use it that much atm.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MarkAndroid:
I DroidManager install thanks to the valuable advice of the author. Now I can see the folders with the point in front.

There is always the problem of the display of folders named with a dot in Windows
[Galaxy Note 3 General] klau1:
This has nothing to do with the Hidden FOlders setting in Windows OS.

It's to do with how MTP works.

It seems MTP is an abstraction of the actual file system unlike Mass Storage. So MTP (on the device) scans the disk for the list of folders and presents a list of folders and files that are normal only, not hidden. That's why you might not even see a new file show up in Windows if you manually added a file from the device side because MTP hasn't updated the list of available files.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] goku15:
Which kitkat rom has best battery life from your experience. Cm11 or omni or carbon or probam?? Also state the build along with the rom which has better battery. Thanks!!
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rahulsmith:
My option ::: CARBON ROM
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] naufalhadyan:
Logically... more features = more RAM usage = potentially worse battery life.

But in real life though... there is not much difference. Every people use their phone differently and have their own personal choice of apps, so judging the battery life by some abstract "is it better or worse" scale is ineffective. I would say all of these ROMs provide better battery life than stock firmware (obviously) but comparing them side by side is a bit hard. :D

Also, ROM selection is actually a small part of any battery usage... add in some factors such as custom kernels, 3G coverage, the frequency and duration of WiFi usage, GPS usage, background apps, etc.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] simplyanin:
Omni rom
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] goku15:
ill also say omni but which build?? because in latest build there is no multiwindow
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] simplyanin:

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sriram18981:
I have been using the CM11 and Carbon ROM since some time, I found both gave more battery life than the stock one. Between them, i think they gave more or less same battery life

Current state:

Boots into bootloader

Recovery not working

HBOOT 1.13

Fastboot working

S4 Version.

How can I restore my device? Please help :)

[SOLVED]

Solution:

I flashed PhilZ CWM Touch recovery in the All-in-One Toolkit and it booted into recovery.

Then I flashed a new rom and performed fastboot flash boot boot.img and my device is now working again! :)
[HTC One S] StayChill:
S-ON btw
[HTC One S] Shadee13:
What do you mean by "restoring"?
[HTC One S] drkxyz:
I guess it's not booting anymore!?

Either try to flash a new recovery or

relock phone, download and install the latest RUU.
[HTC One S] StayChill:
To, at least, be able to install a rom :)
[HTC One S] StayChill:
I tried to flash a new recovery 3 times, it didn't work.

Could you tell me how to relock my phone and what RUU to install?

Thanks!
[HTC One S] drkxyz:
You can use the All-in-One Toolkit to relock the bootloader

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1604677

You can also use the above tool to try to install a recovery - maybe you are lucky

Download the RUU for your provider. Get a list here

http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Ville

Just copy the file to a windows machine, connect to your One S (HTC drivers have to be installed)

and execute the RUU. The phone will be deleted and a stock Rom is installed.

After that you can re-unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery and then the Rom you prefer.

Some people say that you don't have to relock the bootloader to install the RUU. Well it never

worked for me, but you can try it first.

Get more information here (no need to s-off the phone)

[HTC One S] StayChill:
So unfortunately I can't use the All-In-One Toolkit...

Is there an alternative?

Also, I tried to run several RUU's, but they seem to be uncompatible with my device.

I'm European and the device is simlock-free.

This is the device info:

Apr 20 2012, 15:14:18

Any ideas of what RUU I should pick?

Thank you very much!
[HTC One S] drkxyz:
I use the following RUU

Back to Stock Tmo

Got a One s off ebay after the wife dropped hers. It cam with Cyangenmod on it and the wife is having issues.

As I did not put cyan on it, not sure how to get it off and put Tmo Stock sense back on it.

I looked at the Ruu's and there are several Tmo ones listed, any idea which one I would need?

And..... not to be an idiot...... but maybe step by step instructions on how to do it?
[HTC One S] Flashalot:
This should be the ruu to run it you will need to flash stock recovery and lock boot loader then put it in fast boot mode from the boot loader then run the tool

Original state was build # and base band # m1l on 4.2. Rooted and installed safestrap 3.65 and installed hyperdrive rls10 then flashed the m1l module. WiFi and auto rotation still didn't work. After flashing the Rom build # was me7 and baseband was still m1l. I tried flashing the me7 and m1l modules but neither worked. Both flashed successfully. Am I missing something? I'm new to the s4 so please excuse my ignorance. thank you

Hi, would like to know what do you think about smartskey.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] JNGold:
The softkey remap adding both Start Menu and Close functionality is really what brings real convienience to using my K-JAM.

The other features are nice, but I rarely use them.

When using OmapClock, I prefer to add my own startup and notifcation events.

Edit: the "alternate" startmenu key function is brilliant! I now use GSPocketMagic and it works great!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] loowk:
First of all, thank you very much for this great piece of work.

Softkey remap is used most often. Volume key remap is the next most used.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sybarite:
This is a wonderful bit of work. I use the dpad mapping about 98% of the time I use the phone. I also use the close with right soft key mapping fairly frequently and the volume key mapping to disable the today screen volme control (safety first!) and for scrolling within apps. Postal and Paypal gratitude forthcoming.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] rodalfa:
New function to close screen and block buttons

Hi,

I think it will be very very usefull to have a button which blocks all the buttons and toggle off the screen. It would make the program almost perfect!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eva_d:
there sholud be checkboxes instead of radioboxes in this poll. i'd check all options besides volume key remapping, because i prefer it to stay with its original function. if i could suggest anything new, it would be some piece of GUI placed in Settings window for configuring smartskey. editing smartskey.ini every time after installing new version is not quite convenient way, mostly when it's unicoded in some strange way and not every text editor can handle it (gedit in GNOME - for example - can't).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goku2778:
giving this thread a bump...i revised the apk installation steps since redoing this process after a few updates of cm11, they fixed the camera as far as adding the option for sdcard storage but I've been getting a lot of hang ups and crashes then "unable to retrieve camera" error messages when trying to open back up, even after a reboot.

I even installed today's release of the cm11 nightly and the camera was a crashing mess over and over, so for any having these camera issues, here you go!

im wondering if i will ever be able to use the sprint voicemail. since i loaded carbon 4.4.2 and wondeing if there was any way of making it easy to make a call from your messaging by just sliding either right or left instead of tapping?

using sph-l710
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goku2778:
yes you can! I have done this already, I installed the voicemail and sprint zone apps on my cyanogenmod 11 4.4.2 and they work...I'll make apk's for them as well and post them up, give me a few

edit...all uploaded for you my man, just do exactly the same as I noted doing for the gallery app installation, where to place it and changing the permissions, any issues post back up

Just a heads up, the stock camera in slimkat (4.4.2 ROM) works perfectly, the devs fixed it on that rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goku2778:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davidow:
thanks working on att gs3 on metropcs running unnofficial Beanstalk 4.4.2 rom 20140206 release... fix "cant connect to camera" error. Thanks again ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] orgon3:
Thanks so much! I first created a backup. I used root explorer for the whole thing. I tried uninstalling via TiBu first, but it didn't actually remove the camera and gallery apks. I then tried ES File Explorer, but that requires you to set root to Apps and ADB, and I had deselected ADB some time ago.. I downloaded the apk and copied it to /system/app. I then manually deleted the two apks, changed permissions on your apk and installed. Rebooted and works wonders. Thanks!

I would like to suggest a n00b-oriented, step-by-step guide.

1. Use your favorite recovery manager and back everything up. This way, you can always go back if you mess something up.

2. Download and install Root File Explorer (Free).

3. Launch Root File Explorer. It will ask to download and install a few tools. Let it.

4. Go to where you downloaded the file (probably sdcard/Download). Hold your finger on the name and select copy.

5. Press the "Home" icon on the bottom left of the screen.

6. Click on the folder named "system" and then click on the folder named "app".

7. Select paste to copy the file here.

8. Press and hold the newly copied file, and select "Permissions".

9. Set the permission to rw-r--r--, or 0644. In other words, select "Read" for all three, and then select "Write" for Owner. Everything else should be unchecked, and hit OK.

10. Scroll down and fine GoogleGallery.apk and GoogleCamera.apk. Select GoogleGallery.apk and press uninstall. Then long press the apk and delete it. Do the same for GoogleCamera.apk.

11. Find the new apk that you just downloaded (com.android.gallery3d_1.1.40012.apk) and press it. Select install.

12. Once installed, back out of everything and reboot your device. When the device reboots it will say it is updating 1 application.

13. You are now rebooted with the new, fixed, camera. The icon is now darker, and with a blueish/purpleish lens.

14. No, none of your files have been deleted. Enjoy your working camera!

15. Check out the new options! In the extended settings, you can now click on the SD card icon and instantly select to use your internal storage or your external SD card (if present) to save your photos to!

16.Give goku2778 your Thanks!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goku2778:
unfortunately no it doesn't have that option. I did however find another camera apk that works, gonna upload that and link in here around 10am eastern time this morning.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goku2778:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LaRocky:
Found this out last night, the camera that comes with the Gummy Nightly (AT&T Galaxy S3 Android Development forum) comes with a camera that has more settings and the shutter sound can be disabled via the android system settings/sound options. I don't know if the shutter sound option is always there in system settings as I didn't check the previous roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goku2778:
the other camera I listed does have more options to it if you wanna give it a try, can't hurt none, actually let me try it on mine right now see about the shutter sound....

nope, shutter stays on, it just gives the option to make the power button shutter (take the pic)...sorry man, I could care less about the shutter sound myself lol if I come across another 1 i'll bump this again, maybe I can find that gummy camera apk online and test it out
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LaRocky:
Thank you, I'll have to try it out. I have verified that the Shutter Sound option (under System Settings/Sound) is not available in another rom (Liquid Smooth) so it looks like the developer has to manually add the option (not built in to the camera). And Liquid Smooth's camera settings are detailed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goku2778:
been wanting to try that rom out myself, maybe I'll install that today and check out the camera...and then, rip it out also lol I'll bump the thread again if I do that :p

edit...so I've been to liquidsmooth and back lol same exact camera as the 1 I added yesterday, only differences is the system settings with more options like disabling the shutter sound. so I guess just stay on that rom for now for the shutter options, I tried lol

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goku2778:
weird...try this then, delete that out of the system folder, download it again and just open it and hit install, see what happens then...is this beanstalk 4.3 or 4.4? if it fails again, try the 2nd optional fix, that has been the more all around solid fix so far for both 4.3 and 4.4 roms
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davidow:
Try this:

Uninstall stock camera.

Reboot.

Install goku camera apk.

Change permissions.

Convert to system app with titanium backup.

Reboot.
