[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueldvp:
Hello everyone! I'm new there and I need some help or orientation please.

Sorry for my weird English, is not my first language! I hope you can understand me

I bought a new Samsung Galaxy s4 mini Duos Latinoamerican version GT-i9192. one month ago, the pone works great and I'm testing all at 100%..First impressions are the battery life is not big. but that's not the problem there.

the first problems I have its a kind of ghost touches, let me explain what happens.

sometimes when I'm writing I press the "Y" letter and the phone shows that I pressed the "Z" for example., both are letters that are too far between they and I dunno why that happens! that don't happen all time and not a lot but sometimes happen! another thing I discovered is if I put one drop of watter on the screen and I touch on the drop the phone shows a continuous touch on the drop of watter, don't matter if I'm not touching the screen at all, keep the touch on the drop til the drop dissapears, is that normal? I tested a drop of water on another phones and nothing happens when I touch the Drop the phone reactions are normal just touch on the place when I touch and stop touching when I'm not touching.

the first thing is this. this only happens 2 times on this first month that I have with the phone.

the touchscreen touchs alone! I'm using the phone, normal, the screen don't have watter and nothing weird just fingers marks on the screen protector, and the screen touch on a specific point alone, and don't stop touching, if I clear the area, turn off/on the screen still touching alone! the first time that this happens its solved alone just turned on /off the screen and stop the touch, the second time don't stop, don't matter if I clear the area or turn off /on the screen. the second time I solved restarting the phone and works normal again.

someone have some interesting for say about that? I dunno if that are normal or not.. I thinking to do a factory reset maybe would help? I never restored or flashed nothing, this my stock rom!

I hope someone can help me, thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charliebigpot:
Maybe my answer won't help you much but sometimes I have this too (maybe 5-6 times over the last 6 months) - restarting the phone solves the issue.

What you can do is to activate "Show touches" and "show pointer location" in the developer options to see what really happens on the screen. You can activate the developers options by tapping several times on "Build Number" in "Settings -> About Device"
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueldvp:
Thanks for the answer, I did this when I bought the phone and yes, I confirmed with this options that the phone touchs bad and alone, cause the phone shows the touch point!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hobbya:
It seems your touch panel is either faulty or requires re-calibration. You probably need to visit the service centre or try their hotline.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueldvp:
Oh, you can try on your phone using a drop of water on the screen and the option to show the touch points active, and say if the screen touch alone. just put one drop off water and move your fingers over the drop, the ghost touch will appear, can u? thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hobbya:
No touch points are shown unless I dip my finger into the water drop. The water wraps round my finger and forms a part of my fingertip.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitro1max1:
You could always check the touch sensors and the touch screen version. And you could look into seeing if there is a new version of the touch screen. Type these codes into the dialer to check.

*#*#0842#*#* device test (vibration test and backlight test)

*#*#2663#*#* touch screen version

*#*#2664#*#* touch screen test
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueldvp:
oh,): Bad notices for me /:. I'm not lucky at all.. maybe I will use my warranty, I'm still having 2 month more of warranty on the store.. I hope they don't said nothing for that and change my phone for a new one. BTW, thanks for the help bro! **** u Samsung.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hobbya:
The above codes do not work on my i9192
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitro1max1:
Hmm they should work on any Samsung device
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hobbya:
For the general test menu (including touchscreen panel), the codes should be *＃7353＃ or *#0*#

The codes are not universal across all Samsung devices.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitro1max1:
Oh, I thought those codes were for any Samsung device.

First time posting,

I must preface this by stating I have spent several hours reading xda forums and other online forums for help. I haven't seen this exact scenario mentioned so here goes...

I had lots of problems trying to root my phone. (lg g2 verizon 12b). I followed all instructions as best I could. Problem is in terminal. Running Terminal shows my phone connected but also emulator 5554. I think this is what is causing my terminal to close. Finally after several hours on my pc, I decided to try on my friends Mac. This was "tricky" (I am no mac expert) but I was able to achieve root! YAY!

Now problem is this: I am trying to install recovery so I can a rom installed. (tried on Mac but cannot figure it out) So here I am again attempting on pc, but still I have problem with "2 devices connected" (phone and emulator).

What can you guys suggest so I can "disable" emulator, fyi the emulator loads automatically.

I am using the original usb cable, I have windows 7.

I hope I have explained myself well. And I hope you can help.

Ok guys, i figured i've refrained from customizing my phone long enough.

I'm well aware of how to flash things onto the phone. I am currently running 4.2.2 on my C6606.

I have dualboot recovery flashed onto it, phone is rooted, and the only mod i have is pure audio.

I know i have to unlock my bootloader to be able to flash roms that require a custom kernel.

My question is, is there anything i should lookout for before flashing onto my phone?

I just want to know if these roms will also work on the t-mobile network. Haven't seen too much activity from C6606 users on here, so i'm a bit curious on that.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbackus:
I don't believe you can unlock the bootloader on a C6606. If you could, you would need to back up your AT? partition; the one that has all your DRM keys and stuff. But you can still flash custom roms that are made for locked bootloaders, with stock kernels... I have flashed the stock roms from other regions and never had a problem with my C6606 working on the T-Mobile network.

Good luck!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabbypenguin:
i flashed NUT's 4.3 rom from 4.2 and running that, we have a locked bootloader which means we cant use a custom kernel. sony's ramdisk layout is bit different then im used to, im used to standard boot.img format on many devices. anyways the dual recovery script allows for booting custom ramdisks, if i can get a cm one setup and going then we could have cm booting on locked bootloaders. this is no easy task and something i have never done before, not to mention there may be issues that isnt there with a custom kernel.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDroid8:
Being able to get CM on the Z without unlocking the bootloader would be awesome.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabbypenguin:
well i dont want peopel to get their hopes up about myself, its no easy feat and i applied for motorola financing last week, as i might end up going with a moto x. the bill with tmobile is a bit more than expected and going with a moto x would mean unlocked bootloader as well as lower monthly payments. you guys have some very talent people working on this device, it may end up happening on the z1 first and then get backported.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDroid8:
I'm just finding the process quite confusing. I haven't found any good videos detailing the entire process for a retard (myself).
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabbypenguin:
videos on what?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDroid8:
Of flashing CM11. Most people aren't helpful and say if I can't unlock a bootloader then I shouldn't flash ROM's.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabbypenguin:
its not possible with a locked bootloader at this time.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xDC23:
So say i tried to flash XperiaBlueLights, its a 4.2.2 rom, and it says its for a locked bootloader, it should work fine right?

Or the CriskeloRom, its 4.3 but it says it works on both locked and unlocked bootloaders. There shouldn't be an issue installing this on a C6606 should there?

Don't mean to ask so many questions, im usually the type to go and find out myself, but so far customizing my first sony phone isn't as fun, or easy as my past phones.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevev:
I think you would need to flash the C6606 kernel to be able to boot. I have written a C6606 tutorial for MIUI if you are interested in the Chinese version of Android. It is in the first post.

C6606 user here. Currently running [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION] 4.3 Black Edition, and couldn't be happier.

I got my Z shortly after it became available, and have had a custom stock based ROM on it since day 1. I will admit there was a slight learning curve, but I knew I was switching to T-mobile and started reading up on the whole rooting/flashtool before I purchased and have stayed out of trouble (for the most part). Once you flash a ROM or two you will get the gist of it and it will become less confusing. The beauty of it is that we don't have to wait for T-Mobile to push out new Android versions. Once the Z gets it, so can we and no T-Mobile bloat. You will not have wifi calling if you haven't figured that out already.

Look for the "LB" (lockedbootloader) tag in the ROM title, and they should be good to go for us C6606 users.

Just follow the OP's instructions for installing and you will be fine. I haven't touched anything directly related to the C6606, other than APN's. I haven't had any luck doing the "download settings for internet and MMS" under wireless & networks settings.

I use these APN's every time I do a clean install and all network modes (3G, 4G, LTE) work just fine - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2236735

Someone Help Me Please!! I'm Begging.

I was able to Root my phone and install CWM Recovery.

I flashed a certain ROM and I accidentally choose the step for Unlocked Bootloaders, then I got a boot loop.

My volume down button is broken so I can't boot into recovery thru hard buttons.

Is there any other way to Boot into Recovery Mode? I already tried using ADB Commands, it doesn't work for me. Though I tried ADB with other phone and worked.

My phone is an Xperia Mini Pro SK17i.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] emeryreme:
The home button doesn't work for me. I guess it doesn't work on SK17i. :crying:

When I bricked my phone ADB was the first thing that comes to my mind since my volume down is broken. But ADB can't detect my device and whenever I plug it thru USB it just reboot the phone on the SONY logo. Nothing happens and not a single ADB Command works.

I hope someone can give me an alternative. Or is there something that I miss? :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nazir221:
Well I m not sure about what I am advising

My friend can boot into recovery using home button for sure, maybe it depends on kernel (or the recovery version) too. So why not flash a different kernel (which includes recovery :: almost all custom kernels have that, not the stock one) using fastboot mode and then give it a try.

I also found the following command

fastboot reboot -bootloader

although it didn't worked on my xperia Ray (assuming bootloader here refers booting into recovery)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dato02:
Try using Lupus V6 i am using it right now and i checked it. it can enter CWM with home button as well with volume up button. don't forget to thank dev(singh_dd93 & wedgess) if hi helped you.

edit: sorry man i partly miss lidded you. only home button takes you to CWM. volume up takes you to TWRP.

Boot to recovery using hardware keyboards down arrow key :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Swapnil Kadlag:
Dude just flash stock.ftf

Then root it

Flash custom ics kernel (included cwm in all kernel)

Then using xposed modules add advanced reboot menu

And then choose reboot to recovery

And i don't think we need volume buttons in whole process

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helppme:
Ok update time people all get a bit excited, granted. However, as I'm sure you are aware, google have a very specific update procedure with their phones. They go region by region, country by country. They release to 5% then 20%, then 100%.. (or some similar proportions). So, it is relevant for people to know when someone from a particular country gets the update, to help know when they can expect their updated.

Granted, it would be good if the titles were more specific, but this is not just a 'oooo look at me omg' thread. THey posted a screenshot of their update details and advised they are in Canada.

If you see a thread you don't think has merit then don't open it, read it and comment on it.. Seriously, the irony here is incredible.

I'm absolutely with you on the pointless thread front, but just because one thread 'in the general section!' doesn't meet your standards for interest, doesn't mean someone else won't find it of use, or interest.

If you regularly go into newsagents and tear up tabloid newspapers and Heat magazine too, then at least you are consistent and I would understand.

Hi guys,

Tablet is a GT-P7500 Samsung Galaxy 10.1

Got a problem. Was going to be installing a new ROM on my tablet, problem is I though I had transferred the files onto the old tablet, but I had accidentally transferred them to my new tablet.

So I opened up CWM and wiped everything. Then went to install from zip and the files weren't there. So I cant boot back into android to transfer the files. I can't boot into adt either and sammobile new hosting site terafile wont allow me to download any of the original files to flash with odin as it keeps coming up with Wrong IP.

Currently it loads to the splash screen showing Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and sits there.

Anyone got any ideas/links to a ROM I can flash through ODIN. Or a way to transfer files onto a dead tab?

The way posted above is what I would also call the best way. Or if you aren't lacking anything I would just stay on MI9. You have the most freedom and options to move to any firmware in the off chance some type of unlock occurs. I haven't found any new features or improvements on the new firmwares other than Verizon's gift of more bloatware, but as always YMMV.

MI9 had signal and wifi issues...I strongly suggest upgrading to MJE.

I'm in the same boat -- on MI9 and rooted via root de la vega -- but I unfortunately deleted some bloatware apps that I don't have backups for. Would flashing the stock MJE file in odin work in my case as well? Any guidance appreciated.

Deleting that bloatware sure felt satisfying at the time.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tw1n5nak35:
I'm also on MI9, because I was not getting the wifi issues, LTE network issues, call and sound quality isssues. I've decided to stay on MI9 because if at anytime I can just ODIN to MJ7 or MJE. But not the other way around. I guess it really depends on your area that you live and so far Chicago with Band 4 LTE- AWS is doing ok on stock MI9 :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
You can dig the missing system app .apk, .odex files out of the Odin MI9 tarball and put them back in place. They will be in the system.img.ext4 image file... which needs to be uncompressed using the Android SDK tool "simg2img", and then loopback mounted.

There is a way to do this using Windows (I think I saw a thread over in the 2012 Nexus 7 forum documenting that procedure), but frankly that's just lame for an Android rooter to behave that way :D

Or you can make a TiBu Market App/Data backup, use Odin or Kies to install the latest release, re-root and TiBu restore.

BTW (for the future) you can debloat without removing any files by simply 'chmod 000' the targeted .apk & .odex files and reboot. Or you can use Android's built in app disable feature (for foreground apps). This has the same effect as removal, except that you can re enable them anytime you want. The only downside to doing this is if you are tight on space in /system and want to install stuff as system apps so they will survive a factory reset procedure.

good luck
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Billyjack555:
Thanks so much for the response. Just wondering -- would simply returning to stock using this method, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2483380, do the trick?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
The thread you refer to above recommends Root de La Vega following return to Stock via Odin. I thought I saw comments to the effect that on newer VSGN3 releases (e.g. MJE) that rooting method trips the Knox warranty "fuse".

(Somebody correct me if I am wrong about that).

The other thread you are (cross-) posting in, namely az_biker's thread

***Note 3 Root - Recovery - Roms*** step by step

also uses Odin to perform the return-to-stock step, but suggests rooting with Kingo. It will certainly work. (I'm frankly not sure about the security risks of using Kingo).

If you are currently on MJE, you probably have to use the MJE Odin tarball for return-to-stock.

good luck
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Billyjack555:
Thanks. I guess I was looking for an easier solution since digging out the system apps from the MI9 tar file increases the margin of error on my end. I'm not expecting to keep root after flashing the tar files, so that's not a concern for me. In reading through the threads it seems that Odin'ing the tar files is the closest thing to a "cure all" if you've messed up your phone somehow. In going through the various threads, your first statement is consistent with what I've deduced -- that for MJ7 and MJE, Root de La Vega isn't an option, only Kingo.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
It is possible that you could point Odin at a tar file containing only the MI9 system.img.ext4 file to perform a "dirty flash" on top of your existing setup. I've never tried that, so I'm hesitant to recommend it 100%.

But if it worked it would mean that you wouldn't lose all your apps, data, and configurations. And then you could just use the OTA process to upgrade from MI9. You wouldn't be rooted any longer, but you could certainly re-root if you changed your mind.
