Is it ok to use the philz recovery to restore this?

---------- Post added at 07:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 AM ----------

Mega, how come the link in OP leads to an empty folder on Google drive?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] yichen382:
Just flashed

Thanks. Now I can see these files.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Carnage:
No go...

[MENTION=5451734]megalomanic14[/MENTION] i try all the instructions on the op but i got the md5 mismatch error....could be the recovery..i'm using the latest cwm from silesh...can u give me the recovery that you use to restore?..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Carnage:
Which recovery did you use for restore the backup?..mine got md5 mismatch using silesh latest cwm..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Tilagoon:
Did you try this (from OP):

***If you get an md5 checksum error do this:

1. Reboot

2. Go To My Files

3. Go To Downloaded Folder and Open It

4. Delete nandroid.md5 file from Downloaded Restore Folder

5. Make a New Folder Inside the Restore Folder

6. Rename New Folder EXACTLY WITH ALL LOWER CASE: nandroid.md5

7. Leave the nandroid.md5 folder EMPTY

***Should have Boot.img, data.ext4.tar, system.ext4.tar ect AND nandroid.md5 Folder all together INSIDE SAME FOLDER

8. Reboot To CWM and follow instructions above
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Carnage:
Yeaa..already try it..still give me the md5 error using the cwm..but,when i try to restore using philz recovery at first i uncheck the md5 checksum from philz settings and it successfully restore the boot image...however i got 'error restore system' after the boot image finish restore..strange...this give me a headache...i'm on I9205XXUCNA3 rooted with knox tripped..maybe i should stay on stock...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
It is possible so your backup is corrupted...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Carnage:
I check the total of the backup file and its correct...2gb...maybe the new bootloader prevent the downgrade..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Carnage:
Success!

After several failed attempts this is what I do.

1.Redownload the file.

2.Download philz latest recovery and flash.

3.Put the file on backup folder.

4.first attempt to restore fail.Reboot.

5.Recheck the backup file name and I notice 1 file name is not correct (system.ext4.tar.tar) rename it to (system.ext4.tar.a) and reboot recovery,click restore and voila!...back to bmj2 rooted....:laugh:

6.maybe conflicting with others file with same name cause the changing name.

7.Running Megafire Mj7 now..thanks [MENTION=2547168]Megalomanic[/MENTION] 14..and I can confirm this method works for stock rom i9205XXUCNA3 ..:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sytauro:
This recovery method failed every time. It aborts during system update.

I had to restore a previous cwm backup (CNA2) - no root.

Installing Supersu.apk version 1.8 from the sdcard worked at last! Then I was asked to reboot to update binaries.

Root was gone and I'm back to square one with all my data wiped!

I will try again...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
The files and method works if done properly bro as you can see from all the posts before yours...but it's also depending on what base rom you were coming from before you tried restoring with my kit...i only tested and know from feedback up to cna2 possible cna4 beyond that is unknown...also that's if you were coming from 4.2 on the i9205 and not trying to do it from the 4.4 update...please clarify the details of your setup for us prior to attempting the restore

Mega

Also read the other posts Google drive had renamed one of the files as the post above yours noted
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sytauro:
I started from 4.2.2 CNA2.stock rom.I have been able to root every device I've tried.

Five more tries...

Still no root or no wi-fi.

There must be a way that works?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
What rom are you on now? Since the same root kit worked all the way from initial stock rom thru mj2 ...ml1 thru cna4 to kk had new root kit which the old would break wifi...you either didn't restore back to mj2 with my files here and are on cna2 still or are using the wrong root kit...I've never heard of anyone having trouble rooting their i9205 or i9200 honestly

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sytauro:
md5 checksums

Restoring always aborts during system restore.

I have attached the md5 checksums of the system files.

Can you verify if my downloaded files are correct?

You say I'm the only person to have problems. Are my downloaded files corrupt?

Steven
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Yea they're fine...my guess...did you do the empty nandroid.md5 folder inside the restore folder as the instructions say?? That's the fix for md5 checksum errors which is what I'm guessing your error is if that's what your sending me.

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sytauro:
Already did the empty md5 folder trick.

I'll try again...

Thank you very much.

Steven
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
You do realize this is cwm recovery restore only right?? Juts making sure you don't have twrp...and idk about Philz just making sure

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Philz recovery is cwm based and will work with a cwm backup/restore and visa versa. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sytauro:
I'm still getting md5 checksum error, with or without the nandroid.md5 folder or file.

I have tried using cwm and Philz recoveries.

Here is my starting point;

Baseband:	I9205XXUCNA2

BootLoader:	I9205XXUCNA2

Daemon Version:	4.4.5.4444

AndroidId:	314EE6DCB91DD480

AvailableMemory:	72MB - more if I do the wipe stuff.

Any suggestions?

Thank you very much.

Steven
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Idk what else to tell you dude..i even tested these files myself to double check that the download was still good...

I downloaded all the files...double check that you actually downloaded all the files in the drive folder because a few are 0 mb bit still necessary

Placed the folder with all the files and an empty nandroid.md5 folder in my cwm folder inside the backups folder, restored like usual...so I'm not sure why your mega would be having trouble dude ...have you tried just flashing my megafire rom?

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] zcink:
Mega,

I've been wanting to get SELinux off this device for some time now.

Done tons of research and turned up nothing on how to do it.

At least not anything I understand.

Even asked a couple developers with no response.

So, I decided to do something unusual.

I flashed your files here.

The flash went flawlessly and it worked even better than I hoped for.

No SELinux deactivated

No SELinux permissive

SELinux is completely gone without a trace.

That is freakin awesome!

These files you made are very valuable.

My whole phone seems to run so much better.

Thanks!

**Will save these files in case I ever pick up another Mega on the cheap and it has knox and other crap, I can just use these to bring the thing to useable condition.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Hey dude my pleasure...i also suggest if you wanna rom that is fast and smooth with no Selinux or kknox you should try my megafire rom...it's a highly tweaked version of this base rom...and this is the same reason I built my roms on bmj2 because all the ml and cna roms were the same build with a ton of knox junk and Selinux permissions...Def glad these came in handy for you dude

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Otyokwa:
Hello

I have been running my Verizon galaxy S3 with cyanogenmod 10.1.3 for a number of months. Everything worked just fine, no issues. A couple of weeks ago, I updated my phone to 10.3 and it worked well. Then a few days ago it would began rebooting by itself about once per day. This morning, I went to grab my phone and it was working; but by the time I got to the car the phone was dead. No lights, won't go into recovery, basically hard bricked but I wasn't installing any type of rom or anything. Is there anyone who can help me figure this out or at least tell me that I am now the proud owner of a paper weight?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Does it boot into download mode (hold power, volume down, and home)? Have you let it charge for a couple hours? Possibly it died from bootlooping?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Otyokwa:
I won't go into download mode, it has been plugged in for over 5 hours. There are no lights on or anything. I am unsure what bootlooping so I am unsure.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] littleromeo:
My 16GB flo was working fine from the beginning. Always kept it up to date with android releases. Never had an issue. Just today while swyping noticed some weird behavior.So, I tested with a multi touch tester. There were some fake touches recorded. It didn't even allow me to reboot. Later with some effort I managed though. After reboot, it works fine. I'm scared cause I bought that in US and I doubt the so called international warranty will be honored in India.Has this occurred to anyone else? What shall I do if it happens again? Is there some fix for this?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dantegl36:
I had the same experience the other day. Currently running

Latest version of Clean Rom with ElementalX kernel. After I was finally able to reboot, all was well.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] littleromeo:
I'm running stock+xposed.

Testing with multi touch app seemed to have made it worse for me, even prevented me shutting it down. Hope it doesn't come back.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Abel669:
Take a look at this thread, I had the same problem and after flashing boot-ts10.IMG it was fixed.

The flash persists between any new ROM flashing :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Aerowinder:
If an RMA is not an option, try Abel's solution. It boils down to bad hardware and no quality control. I had to RMA my first one for the exact same reason. Second one is fine.

If you do some googling, you will see that thousands of people have had this problem. Any definitive word from Google or Asus? You wish. They will never admit they made a mistake.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] littleromeo:
Thanks, will do if it starts again.

Yes I read about them but this is weird cause a reboot solved the problem.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mister2quick:
Had this issue start yesterday. Running Sinless 3.2.2 on stock kernel. I've noticed it only start since installing Xposed but that could be coincidence. Reboot fixed it but woke up to it again today...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Aerowinder:
The one I had (before I sent it back to Google), would only do it after it had been started for a while. Reboot would make it go away for a while, but it always came back.

Not related to Xposed.

[HTC Rezound] jrat69:
I need to update the HBoot and Radio's on my Rezound. I'm HTC Unlocked, Rooted running Tachyon, and just did the rumrunner S-off. After reading through several post, I got so confused. If I am correct I need to re-lock then flash the Ph98img file in HBoot, or in recovery? Then I have to un-lock. Do I have to re-root, or restore my latest nandroid. Every post that starts off about being s-off ends up about how to do it while s-on.

Can someone please give me a step by step guide?

Thank you!
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
I have a downgrade upgrade guide...follow that and you'll be on latest radios and hboot...the last 2 ph98img files are hboot 2.27 and 2.28 which is the latest
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
You don't have to do anything but flash the PH98IMG.zip if you're s-off, no need to lock or unlock anything.

To just update the hboot/radios, you can flash the last PH98IMG.zip in REV3NT3CH's guide.

Back your rom up to your SD card to be safe of course.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] joebongo:
I have been using my Uni as a wifi clock radio, and am part way through my mini project to get this configuration nailed so I can post it up.

I ran out of memory a week or 2 ago, and ran memmaid and pocket mechanic, and deleted all duplicate notifications, ran cleanup wizards etc.

After that, I now get this error:

Cannot play any items in the playlist. For additional information, on the Now Playing screen, select an item, and then press Menu > Error details.

Doing this just produces the same message.

So, does anyone have a file to repair or reinstall WMP? I check the M$ website but no luck, only pony early versions of WMP.

Thanks,

Joe
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lbendlin:
What you normally do in such a case is a hard reset... Since it is a development device you should expect things like that to happen during development.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] joebongo:
I know :?

I just thought someone might know something, and it would be good for other people as well, as I am only putting together some basic programs and settings together. No coding on my part or anything technical.

Thanks for replying so quick though! :P

Anyone got a fix for the above in #1?

Was playing with the 3 of them today.

All set to auto and focus mode face detection except the Z1 focus set to single autofocus and gonna show you all why in the end of the thread.

All photos will be uploaded to flickr in the upcoming ours

Please Share your opinions !

So the sequence of photos is

Iphone 5s

Htc one

Sony z1

Iphone 5s 1/15sec iso 400

Htc one 1/14sec iso 800

Sony 1/10sec iso400

NOW iphone5s duel tone led flash test vs Sony Z1 flash

Sequence is iphone then z1

Iphone 1/16sec iso 80

Sony 1/13sec iso400

Now when focus set to Face detection on the Sony Z1 it detects all faces (as the others did as well ) and thats the result:

Sony was set to Manual mode and all auto just point and shoot.

? what are your thoughts ?!

[Xperia Z1 General] mm79k:
I just miss my HTC One! :(

I didn't care about the lighting situation when I wanted to take pics.

Z1 is very good but the HTC was the one for me!
[Xperia Z1 General] One Twelve:
1st set:

The HTC one picked a higher iso and is overexposed.

The Z1 comes across brighter than the 5s. It has 50% longer shutter.

Between the Z1 & 5s which is the more accurate in terms of lighting ?

2nd set

the 5s flash barely seems to register here. But the ISO jumped from 400 to 80. That's over 2 f-stops. So the shot seems underexposed.

Z1 kept the ISO at 400 and got a similar lighted shot.

3rd set with face detection

I'm not sure what to make of this one ? as it appears the brightest of the lot. iso > 400 & no flash ?

What advantage does face detection have and how well does it work.

The problem with tests like these is that there is a random element that gets in the way. people do not sit still and a little movement causes shake, i'm ignoring that.

Also the 5s allows no manual control whatsoever, whatever 5s decides is the best is what you get.

[Xperia Z1 General] ashouhdy:
Sony shots were all in Manual mode .

The lights were exactly similar to the z1 ... Although i dont know why i like the htc one shot ..something strange in it shows it so natural.

But the purple tint is affecting my friends' phone too. I tried many times and thats was the least tint in all.

Iphone is very underexposing the scene so bad for me. Even htc with the purple/red noise seems better !

And yes me too agree thats the Z1 is the best too. Seems its the best phone after 1020.
[Xperia Z1 General] ashouhdy:
I would barely see anything in the iphone flash .. Just the coke cans ! While on the z1 its well bright

I guess face detection just raise the EV to expose faces better. Me too cant think of a mechanism rather than this. htc/apple face detection didnt differ with/without detection they just lock focus. While Sony locks focus and change exposure
[Xperia Z1 General] One Twelve:
I meant when you look at the photos, was the lighting as dark as the 5s makes it out to be or as bright as the Z1 portrays it. Or some where in between ?

In this example the 5s & one underperform IMO. This is the problem with this auto business. One day it works well and other times it does not. Cannot say anything conclusive here other than to say in this round the Z1 did the best compared to the others. A few more rounds and it could go either way.
[Xperia Z1 General] ashouhdy:
It was exactly as the first z1 shot

HTC One HDR is kinda messed up. I am uploading it now and I didn't upload the Sony Xperia Z1 none HDR photo.

Photos from Sony was taken 8MP 16:9 and I used the manual mode cause we all know that Superior auto is really crappy but all the other featurs like ISO and exposure levels are set to auto. :p
[Xperia Z1 General] ashouhdy:
all i see in those pics is OVERexposed htc photos and some under exposed (manually set) z1 pics

the htc one got blown sky (highlights) it over expose dark scenes on expense of the already bright one so the results are blown high lights.

the htc one to overcome this issue has taken some of the photos with HDr option ! while some z1 pics is manually set to -1 ev which resulted in some under-exposed (dark) photos.

But for me will take the z1 photos over the htc1 cause i can add exposure to a dark image but i will never get the lost details of the blown up high lights

Just one question: Can u get me a clear view of the blue/sunset sky in the htc photos ?!
[Xperia Z1 General] ashouhdy:
nice to see the ONE could focus before flash :) it was a big issue with me (x-owner of htc1) the one couldn't focus in complete darkness.

the htc1 pic is better white-balanced the z1 screwed up :) take it again but keep ur finger away from the flash and be sure all settings are in auto.

So as I told you that I have uploaded a lots of photos into my drop box.

Don't blame cause I uploded a lot and didn't really separate it like HDR photos and none HDR.

Well for fact I know that iPhone 5s's flash won't work when you turn on HDR so you'll know which one is HDR of iPhone :D

You do the judgement and I still think Sony needs some improving in camera department.

And according to Josh Xperia Z1s(for T-mobile) camera isn't that great.and it is the same as Z1.

http://youtu.be/ekhkyjiwqtE?t=3m46s
[Xperia Z1 General] One Twelve:
Unfortunately there is no way to tell them apart for Z1 & HTC one.

I don't understand why you are taking HDR photos indoors. I don't see much improvement at all compared to non-HDR and in some cases even worse as there is blur. Which is to be expected as the dynamic range in a room isn't going to be very high unless you have bright areas mixed in with dark areas by a couple of f-stops at least. There is no benefit to using HDR in this way.

good to know.

This is an ongoing process.

He does not mention whether its SA or manual, though i suspect its SA. Hit & miss.

He does not like 8MP photos as that's the highest you get in 16:9. But 8MP is actually better than 20MP with oversampling. 8MP is good enough for a lot unless you want to make posters. Whatever screen Josh uses cannot display more than 2MP anyway. Or 4MP if he uses a 4k screen.

He mentions losing detail in the dark areas. EV+ required.

1) What are the differences?

2) Are these hardware or software differences?

3) Once rooted, will these MPN models become all the same?

4) Are the frequencies and basebands the same?

Hello!

When my i9300 (Omini ROM) enable internet connection (WiFI or 3G), it starts downloading something to my device. Because i can see it fully utilized my internet connection (only download, not uploading). But I don't know what is it (Which application does it). Are there any way to track which app do it or are there anyway to view each application internet usage?
