[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] alex8525:
Yes I restarted between flashes. And I think everything went the way it should. So, also flashed MK2Recovery and now I am able to boot in to recovery. After booting in to recovery I flashed update.zip from the post. But still I am not able to boot in to system. Phone reboots and go in to a black screen with blue pulsating LED. If I connect the phone to PC, I can access SD Card and Device storage.

Is there anything I can do? Do I need to visit Best Buy? (or even it won't work?)

Regards,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] alex8525:
One more question.

Will I be charged anything if I go to a Best Buy Samsung Experience Shop for a re-flash?

Regards,

Alex
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
Did it do that small update the first time you went into recovery? It should automatically flash something the first time you go in and then reboot, and then you flash the MK2 file.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] alex8525:
Hey Guys,

Just to let you know. I went to Best Buy samsung experience and that guy didn't know much. He took 10 minutes to get in to recovery and tried to factory rest, which didn't work. Later he took another 10 minutes to get in to download mode and then connected phone to his computer. He tried to reflash system with SMART but SMART said couldn't recognize the phone!! (Do you guys know what might be the reason?) After few trys he gave up and asked me to send device back to samsung.

After that I tried ted77usa's guide again and it worked this time!! So I am back on MK2, rooted with saferoot, safestrapped and now on Hyperdrive!!

Thank you very much guys. You are awesome.

Regards,

Alex

Hello

I am new to this forum and was hoping to get some help. Recently i tried to mod my galaxy 4 to Cyanogen 11.0. So i rooted my phone then in intalled Philz CWM recovery. After flashing Philz CWM recovery i tripped the knox boot loader and i asked my to go to verizon. Instead of going to verizon i downloaded a stock image and odin and tried to flash it back to stock. This didn't work everytime i try to flash it with odin it stops at aboot and says failure. Was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for me about how to get my phone back to stock.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smep:
CM 10.1.3 is last with old bootloader .

Any way tripping the knox is not a big deal and it has no effect ....every body have to upgrade eventually .... one day they may find a away to trip it back hahaha ... live your day mate and go forward

i have been thinking about rooting my gs4 for a while now. i think i have finally decided to pull the trigger. i jail broke my iphone4s when i made the mistake of purchasing it. i dont know how much that experience will help. anyways, i came across this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2567353. what i would like to know is if this is something that is feasable for me to pull off. is it more for somebody that has more knowledge in the area than me? one thing i noticed is that the screen shots posted in the other thread have a different kernel, will my phone be loaded with that kernel when i load the rom? my phone is a gs4 sph-l720, currently running 4.3, build number jss15j.l720vpuemk2. any info and advice will be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] frostedunit:
Yes, you will have ktoonsez kernel on your phone if you flash that rom.

It is very feasible and actually quite simple to root your phone. Find Cf autoroot and philz touch recovery in the original development section and just Odin them in.

Just be aware that you will trip the Knox counter on your phone and will void your Samsung warranty.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] killervdub:
thanks for the info. i only have a couple of months left on my warranty anyways. i have had this phone since may of last year. i plan on following the instructions in the post. hopefully i get it all done right.

Hi,

Anyone using steel series wireless gamepad on G2 or for that matter any mobile?

I bought it to play Shadowgun Deadzone but I find its joystick too sensitive to aim.

I did not find any way to reduce the sensitivity (there is an option in game but that works only for touch control).

I sent mail to both game controller support and shadowgun support and waiting for reply.

Is there any way we can change it in android? I've stock rom but its rooted.

Thanks in advance,

Does that not defeat the point of the Note 2?? Without SPen or Multiwindow its just an S3? Seems a little silly to me...

I am waiting for a Cyanogen based mod with both features and 4.4 KitKat.

BTW whats up with the goofy toggles in KitKat?? The old one were much better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Eternalty:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ericpbritt:
The point is, if you are going to cut out SPen and multiwindow on the Note 2 then why would you buy a Note 2 in the first place. Its those 2 features that make the phone what it is. I tried the Cyanogenmod......but I could not use the features that I normally use everyday, or at least had to load a hack to make them somewhat functional. If I didnt need the Spen or multiwindow I would have bought an S4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eZdubzitmk4:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ericpbritt:
Thats a shame, know anything about the AOCP collective rom? Looks really sweet but no word on MW or Spen.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eZdubzitmk4:
Omni rom has multiwindow (more like split view)

Every aosp rom doesn't natively support Spen and Touchwiz multiwindow. Like I said, if you want all Spen functions And real multiwindow you must flash a Touchwiz rom. I don't think aosp roms are what your looking for

hello friends, I've looked high and low to try and figure out a way to fix my phone. my phone icon will not work? anyone else trying to find a fix? I've looked all over the internet and every single method I've come across does not work!!

thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
If you can force the error to occur, capture a logcat immediately afterwards.

It won't necessarily give you an exact cause, but usually app crashes are accompanied by a bunch of error messages in the logcat, and sometimes those will provide good clues why the crashes are occuring.

You can post the logcat to pastebin.com (but you should edit out any private data if present).

You didn't mention whether this is a rooted device, whether you are using a custom or modified stock ROM, release version, etc. Those are relevant details.

If this is a stock device, have you tried backing everything up and doing a factory reset?

.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enzojrc:
Yeah sorry, completely stock. I've done the factory data reset to no avail.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Which release? MI9, MJ7, MJE?

Does it crash randomly some time after you begin to use the phone or contacts app, or immediately upon entering one or both of those apps?

The logcat *might* contain some clues, dunno. It's a low-cost effort to capture it.

I suppose the next steps are to figure out whether it happens because of something peculiar about your data (contacts database / call & message logs/ etc), or if there is a problem with your hardware.

If you thought the trouble was a software bug that only showed up by getting triggered because of something unusual about your contact data, one way to see if that was the case would be to factory reset and bypass the google account setup** - and then use the phone or contacts app for a while without a connected Google account. (Set up a few phone-only contacts) and use the phone/contact apps that way.

If it still crashes, I would just go and get a warranty replacement on the phone - it's got to be under warranty still, yes? (Another option would be to use Kies or Odin to reflash all the stock phone software; but honestly, if you thought that the phone was acting strangely enough to do that it is probably a better bet to just get a warranty replacement).

.

** maybe the effort of running a test like this could be simplified by just deleting the primary google account on the phone and clearing the data from the contacts/phone apps/services. But I've never tried that, and it's probably not quite equivalent to a factory reset trial.

[LG Optimus G (International)] billybest:
I have E971 Canadian Rogers. I've tried roms such as CM 11, CyanFox 2.0.2, OMNI.

I get no sound while the phone is dialing, and when the call has been accepted.

I also get no sound when i pick up calls.

Speaker seems to work.
[LG Optimus G (International)] MitoTakatori:
I get that problem too. Have you flashed any kernel after flashing the ROM, or when using the ROM? If you do, maybe the kernel has incompatibility issues with the ROM.

And if you are using Gravity Box Xposed Module, disable the volume tweaks there.
[LG Optimus G (International)] billybest:
I am on tmobile (with rogers phone) and it seems to be a widespread problem.

A patch for Optimus G Pro. This worked for me! (Note that I JUST flashed the patch and I don't know if it will cause other problems in the long run)

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] eviltwin_52s:
Curious is anyone else having issues with their Google Chrome Browser? I have reset my phone multiple times and it is still happening, so not sure if it is a device issue or Software.

When I open up Google Chrome the first time it will go to the Home Page. Then if I do something else like send a text message or view email, then come back to Google and open it by tapping the Google Icon, the screen will go black and you can see the Web Browser URL. If I hit refresh or tap multiple times in the middle of the screen then the Google web browser will show up again.

I have closed out of all my other applications thinking it was memory, be even after doing this it still does the same thing. When I go back to see what apps are open, nothing is there other than the Chrome browser. I have done a rest multiple times by pushing the small button next to the SIM Card and even done two Master Resets and the issue still occurs.

Do I consider my phone faulty due to this? It is sort of annoying, because this seems to have just started happening.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cCclown:
Don't worry, there's a deadly bug in new Chrome 32.0.1799.99 build.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
It will be nearly impossible to do so since Windows is not open source. Meaning a Dev will have to reconstruct everything from scratch to get it to work. It will never be bug free or fully functional. Although it would be nice to have other OS options just for bragging rights.

There is nothing in the Terms of use about using Windows Phone on other hardware, nor is there a licence agreement to adhere to or a purchasable licence for the OS - so I wouldn't necessarily say Windows Phone would be Warez

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiisixtyfour:
My girlfriend has an S4 mini from Canada (SGH-I257M, Telus but unlocked and being used on AT&T in the US). She dislikes using the stock messaging app and prefers to use Google Hangouts for SMS as she did on her old phone. The issue is that it will not notify or say that theres a new text message unless she goes into the app itself to check. Other apps such as Handcent SMS and the stock app work fine. I have tried disabling all other SMS apps and deleting and reinstalling Hangouts. It has not worked. MMS/picture messages will have notifications from hangouts.

Hangouts does work fine with SMS for me on my Verizon SCH-I435 however. Not sure what the problem could be. I at first thought it was bad APN settings so I looked up the correct AT&T settings and put them in.

Any solutions would be helpful.

BLACK AND WHITE SETTINGS

Here we go again, i'm working to give to our Tab in the Kit Kat version the dark Android interface as found on nearly all Android releases. New mods and some Tab S style and apk

This will improve battery performance, and in my opinion better visibility.

Let's start with settings with new lockscreen effects enabled(after reboot will revert to none... still under fixing :D)

PS pop style as above will be in inverted style not in tab S style, as you need framework, which has still some unreadability issues, it is under fixing, but give me time, very busy and tired, so theme is slowly going on

Let's say that my spirit here on XDA is help, share, read, read then read again... so on next posts i will add a how to for modders/themers/developers.
