[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leaderbuilder:
So you went to some other random website, followed their instructions and came here for support. Hmm.

Well, though this site is NOT a support site, let's see if we can get you back.

First you didn't 'brick' your phone, yet - if it boots beyond a blinking or solid LED you have a good chance to get it running.

FIRST turn it off completely. Plug it in and let it charge for about an hour. You've got some reading to do anyways..

grab the MK2 .tar from here (the tar.md5 is in the zip, just extract the .tar.md5 and put that one file in the PDA slot of Odin) and flash it via Odin.

It'll reset everything (all partitions and modem etc.)

Grab PC Odin (v3.07 works great) Extract the folder to your desktop.

Open Odin and right-click and 'run as administrator' Select the above mentioned .tar.md5 and put it into the PDA slot. Do NOT check anything other than options then what come up by default - like reparition in Odin or you WILL hose yourslef.

With your phone NOT connected to the PC enter Download Mode - Power On + Volume Down (at the same time) till the 'confirmation window comes up - then select Volume Up to continue to download mode.

NOW plug your phone into the PC via USB and you should see a COM light up in Odin.

Then hit Start and let it flash. till done.

You phone should reboot - you can disconnect it from the PC after Odin finishes.

Then.. WAIT first boot could take 5 to 10 EARTH MINUTES. Walk away, take a piss watch a few plays of the games whatever.

Your phone should then be back to stock MK2.

IF you want to root you can use CF-Autoroot. File and explicit instructions are here in these forums.

But PLEASE spend some time reading through the how-tos and OPs here.

Good luck

WOW thanks man, I didn't even wait for the stock rom to DL, I just used Odin 3.07 and inserted the cfo auto root and it fixed my phone while fixing the firmware.

I googled "Sprint S4 how to root" and that website popped up dude. I just followed it, I didn't know Odin 1.85 didn't work but 3.07 worked fine, forgive me.:good:

I'm just saying in general.. But glad you got it back up and running..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] sah0724:
what custom recovery you guys use? I was going to use qb77's guide but I read the comments saying it's giving problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leaderbuilder:
Grab Philz here. Read here on how to install via Odin. Read this

entire page

on how to use it.

I would

HIGHLY

recommend you spend some time and read through these sections. The OPs of the ROMs have specific recoveries they recommend and more importantly precise directions for wiping and installing their specific ROMs.

Before you install anything just relax, and spend a few days reading. You won't be sorry.

Next time you try rooting make sure you have everything you need instead of trying to do it piece by piece and YouTube videos can help a lot.

Everything working except... video/ "unfortunately has stopped" error, and later the camera, same error!

Is this a KNOWN, and if so, is there a fix?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nihar:
When i did test that i didn't have those errors...

Have you wiped everything??

Yes, sd/factory

Camera worked at first, and could see my pics...actually I can still use gallery to view them but as soon as I

press the camera icon, either in gallery, or the app icon the error says "unfortunately gallery has stopped"

Video never worked from the start
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nihar:
Strange..

Try it again...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyannt:
PS... Will a bad Gallery have any affect on the camera?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nihar:
i think yes...

try reflashing it..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyannt:
Clearing the cache and data in gallery lets me use the camera to take pics now BUT if I try to shoot video

it closes again immediately..

Need to sleep so will have a go at it again tomorrow..

okay so a ICS downgrade wont work because of the kernel being updated to newer version in JB update but what if you take a ICS Stock .zip and flash it with RSD Light but With the JB kernel instead of ICS kernel would it be even possible???

It' not a kernel problem. Whenever you update OTA the fastboot files get updated, at least that's what I remember reading here.

Hiya, I've tried everything. Literally,everything i could find on this site and a few others around the web,Everytime i'd try to get my rom pushed onto my sdcard, (internal HD) I would get the no device found error. Everytime i try to get my sdcard mounted, theres no option for me to do so, I'm fairly new to all this and I was desperately hoping to get my 4.2.2 JB update, though i lost the AT&T Software Update option in settings,..Thats the reason why i went for a ROM on xda forums..Up til now it feels like ive had no luck in finding the only options i needed to get through my quest...

Oh if this helps, i was running 4.1.1 and sense 4+ on my HOX+.I have s-on? if anything else is needed regarding my software please ask!.

If anyone could help it would be more than appreciated. Thanks.
[HTC One X+] Zayer T:
What my error was. (im pretty certain) was that i hadn't flashed the boot.img before flashing the rom, which may have made the other boot image not kick in.. I really dont know actually,..
[HTC One X+] grigoriisi:
Google how to sideload a rom. If that doesn't happen then download the latest ruu from HTC for AT&T and put your phone in bootloader and run it. Also make sure bootloader it's locked or relocked.

[Android Apps and Games] julianjm:
Short URL Resolver handles the short URLs typically used in social networks: t.co, goo.gl, bit.ly, etc.

Why would you need a (big) web browser to open a Youtube video. Click this link on your Android phone: Video (Then try again after installing this app to see the difference).

Sure, there are other apps that do this, but I think mine has unique features:

Doesn't get in the way: It's small (~200kb). Minimal user interface. Does exactly 1 thing and does it right.

Handles Facebook's external links. Tired of launching the browser to open a m.facebook.com?l.php URL? No more.

Handles Youtube's attribution links. These should be handled by the Youtube app (Google's fault). Short URL Resolver handles them for you, so you get to see the video on the Youtube app. No browser involved.

Handles Tapatalk api click links.

Handles Google.com/url links. They are used in the Play Store descriptions, for example.

Also, it's free, and ad-free. You can make an in-app donation if you feel it's worth it.

It doesn't use any third party service for resolving the URLs. The basic principle is making an HTTP request and determining where it's being redirected.

It's my first public Android App, but I think it's the best of its kind :cool: (you can try and prove me wrong X-D)

Download

I'm also attaching the latest version to this post, for those that can't access the Google Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] julianjm:
Just updated to support Tapatalk links... I didn't notice those api click links Tapatalk generates until I was testing this thread ;)
[Android Apps and Games] estapagu:
Really awesome! Certainly the best, there isn't any other app that works so ****ing good. It makes easier moving between apps and improve the workflow. Thanks a lot, keep going!

How does this compare to CrappaLinks. I know that this one doesn't require root/xposed...But my question is what benefits/advantage does this offer over CrappaLinks for people who are already rooted and have xposed??
[Android Apps and Games] billbowers:
Great work. Thanks for sharing.

BETEO
[Android Apps and Games] AssToast:
Well i think its only advantage is for non rooted users and redirects bit.ly and goo.gl, i personally use crappalinks and doesnt seem to work on those but im not sure since i dont click on alot of links
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
I'm the author of CrappaLinks. If you're already using CrappaLinks: you can use it for apps that may not be supported by CrappaLinks, or use it for shortened URLs (as CrappaLinks doesn't unshorten URLs yet.) It's also useful if you come across a shortened/masked link in a document or similar.

CrappaLinks removes masking from *specific* apps that mask your links. This app can be used anywhere for unmasking *and* unshortening.

I personally use it alongside CrappaLinks, for the reasons I've mentioned above.
[Android Apps and Games] Walter.White:
Gotcha. Do you plan on adding universal link unmasking to CrappaLinks in future? Or just adding support for individual apps? (Support for slickdeals app would be great). The reason why I ask this is because the url shortner service that app uses is blocked by Adblock and because of that I can't open ANY links from that app. Also same with adf(dot)ly links :(

Regardless I'll be using this alongside CrappaLinks that way most if not all links on my phone will be unmasked regardless of the app. Thanks [MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] for this.

Edit

Even after installing this app....slickdeals redirect urls don't work. :(

Edit 2: Here is a sample redirecting link from slickdeals app http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-122526...5267-_-Home%2520Depot%2520Product%2520Catalog
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
Putting it in very simple terms, the only way to unshorten these URLs is:

"Open" the URL -> See if the "destination" is different

This requires a connection to the host that is shortening the URLs. If you're blocking it (by using Adblock for example,) it's not possible to connect at all, so all unshortening apps will fail as well.

You may be able to white list whatever hosts you want in Adblock. Check their help pages and see for yourself, not sure.

About CrappaLinks requests, please ask in the CrappaLinks thread as to keep this one on topic. :)
[Android Apps and Games] julianjm:
Hi... I'll try to add support for those URLs... Shouldn't take long.

I have a beta testing community on g+ ( sorry it's private and I cannot make it public now). Send me a message and I'll invite you if you want to test early versions.

[Android Apps and Games] julianjm:
Just installed slickdeals app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.slickdeals.android), but the URLs generated by the app aren't like yours... Example:

http://slickdeals.net/?sdtrk=android&api_key_id=872706&pno=112586&lno=1

You see the destination URL is not visible there (I have to contact their server to get it).... Also, there URL is too generic to add it to the manifest. I.e., I don't want to handle all links to slickdeals.net... just the ones that mask redirection links.

http://slickdeals.net/click?whatever (good, I can match the /click prefix)

http://slickdeals.ne/?whatever (bad, too generic, would catch urls that arent redirections)

Julian.
[Android Apps and Games] Walter.White:
Thanks for looking into this for me. I just upgraded the app to the latest version.

And it turns out...It uses 2 redirects.

First when you click on a link from the app.. It uses this http://slickdeals.net/?sdtrk=android&api_key_id=1779234&pno=112588&lno=1 just like what you mentioned above.

And then that above link redirects like this... http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-122526...20Product%2520Catalog&quantity=1&str_nbr=2659

As you can see clicking on both of the above links redirects you to the same page...But the second redirection "www.jdoqocy.com" happens really fast..so that's why its hard to see. I hope this helps.

Basically whenever I click a link from the app... the first redirection "slickdeals.net/?..." to "www.jdoqocy.com" happens automatically but the second redirection doesn't happen because of the Adblock. I tried adding "jdoqocy.com" to Whitelist on Adblock but that messes up app itself.

Looks like www.jdoqocy.com is owned by Commission Junction, so I guess its pay per click or something.

P.S. Fuerteventura looks like an awesome island. I hope to check it out someday.

Could you add a small feature to Just remove the adf(dot)ly part from urls? Some forums use ONLY adf urls, and it's annoying, they're in the format adf(dot)ly/ActualURL Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] julianjm:
Can you provide some sample URLs? I just tried to shorten a url with their service, and I don't see the original URL anywhere

http://*******/IFOc0 <= this will get you to www.google.es after the spam.

UPDATE: It seems that site is forbiden here. Anyway, you can see that the URL path is just IF0c0...

Julian.
[Android Apps and Games] Netuser:
Realy nice app :) thanks so much :)

Is it posdible to ebay link so that they get open in ebay instead of browser ?

Thanks:)
[Android Apps and Games] ykumar00:
The shortened urls have no relation to the actual url whatsoever, but some forums use scripts to convert all links to this format:

Examples:

http://*******/1474226/http://lukemovement.wordpress.com

http://*******/1474226/http://newsplus.co/features/

The destination url is in the Long url itself.

The asterisks are adf (dot) ly, as this these links cannot be posted on xda.

For the shortened url however, this service can be used to bypass the Ad, maybe it will be useful: de-ads.net

you can paste links on this page to go directly to the destination page....

Thanks a lot for considering this man!
[Android Apps and Games] julianjm:
That's something up to the Ebay app developers. Currently their app is registered to handle only these urls patterns, according to the AndroidManifest.xml file:

http://pages.ebay.com/android/item/view/

http://pages.ebay.com/android/item/query/

http://www.ebay.com/motors/garage/pub/vehicle/

http://www.ebay.com/mtr/garage/pub/vehicle/

Unless the URL is in that format, the ebay app won't do anything to open it.

Julian.

Feedly URLs

Hi,

Excellent app!

Just so you know: Feedly shortens URLs under some circumstances.

It gives a you URL like this:

feedly (dot) com/e/lTWp53yG (I'm new so no URLs for me!)

which redirects to some random Techdirt article.

Would it be possible to add support for those too?

Feedly also uses those shortened URLs when sharing articles. I have no idea how Android's sharing infrastructure works, but it'd be nice to be able to "share" them with your app so they could get de-crappified. (Yeah, this would add some steps to the sharing process, but I'd rather go through a few more steps than share obfuscated URLs.)
