OS: Windows 8.1

Stock USB cablu,

OS on the phone: 4.3 stock
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] MattBooth:
Ya, so those months ago I was telling you all not to use Odin any more for flashing, unless you want KNOX...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] dany547:
it must be a way to bypass that :)

also i tryed to flash the phone in Windows XP but no luck

Hello

Someone can tell me the difference between firmware I9305XXUEMKC and I9305XXUEML8, both are 4.3, already searched but found nothing.

Which is the best? ...

thank you

Both have the same change list number so I'm guessing no difference...

Change ROM.

Hello! I'm currently running CM11 and i was thinking about changing my rom to rXTREME.JB.4.3-v3.0. Will this rom update my bootloader and can I even downgrade from 4.4 > 4.3.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Raistlin1158:
As far as I am aware you can not downgrade your bootloader..
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] jjahvo:
Knox.

I rooted my phone on 4.1.2, and flashed CM11 through CWM. Does this mean I have kitkat bootloader and can't downgrade to 4.3 roms?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] fzeta:
Greetings!

There is a lot of paranoia theme Knox, from my point of view the only problem is the warranty for ODIN and flash an earlier version, I do not see another problem. However, those who want to return to a previous version do through recovery, I've done it many times and have not had any problems (have a look at my signature) those ZIP'S I've modified to share. Try!
[Android Apps and Games] Hikari:
Hello, I don't really know if it's all right to post this kind of thread here but I haven't been able to find any other forum that seems like the proper place for my thread. I'd like to say sorry in advance if I have indeed posted in the wrong section.

Anyhow, me and a friend are working on a set of apps and a slightly modified android rom as our IT project this year. We are hoping to win a prize in the local competition which will be held here in Bosnia on 23rd of next month and then hopefully make our way to some international competitions.

I'd like to quickly go over our project.

HIVE OS is an "operating system" based on android for usage in school tablets. It contains some pre-installed applications such as: Notebooks, Books, Drawings... It synchronizes users' documents with the cloud allowing users to access their files from their personal phones, tablets, computers, etc...

As the competition draws closer we have started with writing academic papers such as the research paper. Some stats are required in a research paper. Some testing and data analysis. Thus, as a member of this forum I thought that I could get some interested people's opinions, let them test the apps and collect their feedback...

If you are interested in testing Notebooks, Books and Drawings apps and helping us with our data collection you can download attached apps and once you are done with your testing you can submit your feedback by filling the form over at feedback website.

Some points to keep in mind:

1 .We are 2 high school 3rd year guys. Our experience with android programming is pretty fresh. My friend only launched ADT for the first time as he began this project, whereas, I, even though I had launched it before hadn't been able to produce anything useful.

2. As these apps are intended for tablets, we didn't really put any special effort in trying to make them fit every screen (smaller screens). They should be fine on devices with screen similar to the one of the nexus 4 and higher...

3. Books app requires at least a single book to be present under /HIVE/Books in your sdcard. Otherwise, it will look empty. This is because these apps are supposed to receive their material by means of synchronization. I'll be attaching a zip file (Introduction to Trigonometry.zip) to extract there but if you end up having problems and can't make the app show a book, please skip books app in the feedback form. Thank you for your understanding.

Another note is that we hope you'll go easy on us. As I already mentioned, we are pretty new into android development. The data collected from the forms are going to be used in the academic side of things. Those who know will probably understand... It won't hurt if you give a 4 where you actually think it deserves a 3. We don't want to have graphs which will make it look like our apps suck. :P

Of course, this doesn't mean that you should go with all 5s. Fill the forms the way you think, but we'd be happy if you didn't give a lot of 1s and 2s...

Thank you for your understanding on this as well. :D

Thank you all who give feedback and opinions once again!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duckofdeath:
I've got a 32 GB SD card which I've formatted to exFAT through Windows. The card works as expected when inserted in my PC; I can add, remove and change files. Though, I can not delete files I copied to it from my Windows PC when it's in my GS4, using stock Android 4.3. I can read files and strangely apps can read/write/delete files they create themselves. The problem is, if I delete a file in for instance ES File Explorer or any media player, the UI pretends to delete it (no errors given), but when I refresh the view, the file is still there.

I'm a bit stuck as it's a bit annoying having to move the card to my PC to delete files created on my PC.

Is there a low level difference in how Windows and Android devices handle exFAT? I can't format the card to exFAT from within the phone, it will only default to FAT32. I tried to download the "Official SD card formatter" from sdcard.org, but that one also defaults to FAT32 on 32GB SD cards.

Has anyone else had this problem? Not being able to delete files on an exFAT SD card? If so, how did you get around it without rooting the phone?

Hello,

My HTC One just crashed (hang) two hours ago. I didn't do any 'dangerous' manipulation (as ROM flashing etc.) -> it just stop working. Now it is stuck with a black screen and the home/back keys are light up.

I tried to do a soft reset (hold the power button more than 20s), a hard reset ((hold the volume down and the power button more than 20s), hard and soft reset with a bright light, but nothing work. I am a bit afraid for my phone :crying:

Is there any trick I can test to reboot the phone? (It is currently sitting in my freezer in order to accelerate the battery draining -> yes I'm desperate).

EDIT: The phone is not recognize by my laptop (no event with dmesg and lsusb see nothing...)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
take the phone out of the freezer

hold power + vol+ and vol- all together under bright light for 20 - 30 seconds the phone will shut if when it's done correctly

Have I got this right?

Can I flash any custom Rom from any of the note 2 variants and flash devil or AGNi kernels just to gain Wi-Fi back. I know I can with at&t TW roms using Note Air Note 3 version at the moment.

What about aosp roms from other variants? Will they work in same way?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sawdoctor:
You can't flash a n7100 rom on a n7105 or you will lose baseband. A lot of American variants will work though

Thanks yeah I figured that out about n7100 too bad lot of roms in that area. Ppl tried figuring out ways to get n7100 roms without loosing base bands?

There is a guide for porting roms somewhere but I haven't tried it. I'm running ditto note from at&t thread with no issues and a few people are using sky note from the same thread. There is a shortage in twizz roms for the n7105
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevendeb25:
Yeah am using the other Note Air with Note 3 features. Am not really a Twizz fan really but must admit they are good compared to s3. So aosp roms should work also?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetra82:
I tried to flash the Baltic ROM with odin 3.07. I didn't find a way to change CSC (so KIES can recognize it) and i tried to go back to 4.3 EUR. But:

Odin failed (Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..... Leave CS..... FAIL!) and now when i open the phone there is the following message :Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. KIES 3 says the connected device is not supported. I tried flashing the stock rom with ODIN (even tried 3.09) again but it failed. what can i do to recover my phone?

Thanks for any answers
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ValenteL:
Force Download Mode and flash one Custom Recovery. I think the Note 3 reboot from Recovery and Rom work. Try this...

But the Baltic Rom is KitKat 4.4.2?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaythenut:
if you flashed kitkat you cant go back to 4.3
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetra82:
thx for the quick replies guys. Since there is no way to go back to 4.3 is there a way to change the CSC so KIES can recognize the device? already tried CSC Select and the dialer code but no luck
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ValenteL:
The better for me is a new CLEAN install. On Customer Recovery wipe data+cache+dalvik and format system on mount and storage.

Whit recovery on screen force Download Mode and reflash the Rom. When You enter Your language at first boot, Your CSC is installed well (if the Rom have it on multi-csc).

I flashed the Poland Rom whit XEO, after first reboot I had my TPH well, automatically. What is Your CSC?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetra82:
OK sorry for late reply but i had a problem with my connection. I tried a different rom this time (polish) and at the same time i did what you said (full wipe etc. Worked like a charm. Device is faster thn ever and kies recognizes it again. Thanks a lot to everyone
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Hir0xM:
Hello ,

Just a few minutes ago I finished setting up the amazing ROM , KK BEAM KAT v.8.1 (21 January 2014) of Adi Aisiteru Reborn .

I also installed the ViPER4Android FX along with the Walkman app here , from XDA ... The only trouble is , whenever I connect any headphones and press play , the music keeps coming from the phone's speaker , instead of the headphones themselves which is damn annoying since I use my device to listen to music , among other things .

If any extra info is needed - I deleted the default music player and DSP Manager .

If anyone has any idea what is causing this ... I'd be forever grateful for a solution .
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Ahmed.ragab:
i think maybe cause LPA is true in build prop find it's two lines and make it false if it is true

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] stevfuri:
I've recently got a Samsung Note 10.1 2014 and it looks like it's a display model for Verizon. Most things seems to work correctly although there are a few bugs so I was going to try to flash a stock rom instead of the display version. I'm not sure if I will cause any problems as I was unable to root with the Odin3 auto root methods.

Additionally, this device seems to have some additional debugging features enabled that may be of use to some in this community.

Build number is "lt03ltevze-eng 4.3 JSS15J P605VVREAMK1 test-keys"

The hardware version is P605V.01
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Scott:
1. Your in the wrong forum as this is not a ROM, mod, etc.

2. Test Keys have never been any use. We have them for the Note 3 and they still cannot unlock Note 3 bootloader.

3. Verizon is the only one with a lock on the tablet. If you can return this and get a WiFi tablet you would be smart!

Hello,

I have accidently hard bricked my xperia play.

After i soft bricked it due to flashing a wrong rom i managed to fix it again but then the phone couldnt detect my sdcard.

So i tried to install a new rom again what then failed badly.

I tried to flash it with flashtools but it failed because i forgot to activate debugging so i just plugged my phone out and tried to start it but it somehow didnt work....

Now my computer only does a sound when i plug it in and flashtool nor my computer can detect my phone.

There neither is a led blinkin..

Is there anything i can do?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Z3PHYR:
Can you enter flashmode? (back key while connecting to pc) or fastboot by holding search button while connecting to pc

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Did you flashed wrong rom (from recovery) or wrong firmware (from flashtool) ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 07boss:
well i first flashed the wrong rom and had a soft brick

after that, i fixed it by flashing the stock rom

then, i again tried to flash a firmware with flashtools because my phone couldnt detect the sd-card and cwm somehow didnt work anymore.

while trying to flash the firmware i had to unplug my phone while flashing because i didnt activate debuggin, the flashing had already started tho.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Start flashtool.

Power off phone

press and hold back button.

While still keeping pressed back button, plugin usb to phone

What is report from flashtool?

it doesnt say anything, like my phone was never connected...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
is it same for fastboot mode ? (power off, hold search and plug in usb)

Try other usb port, or maybe different cable

reinstall drivers from flashtool folders

right-click on "my computer" , click "manage", click "device manager". Is there any item with yelow mark, someting called "adb" or "semcusb"?

What is your model? i,a,at or x? locked or unlocked bootloader?

Wich stock firmware did you tried to flash previously? .79?

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 07boss:
Oh shoot,

i just realized that i didnt erase the old cache and date when i tried to install the new rom after i installed the stock rom because i couldnt enter cwm.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 07boss:
So is there anything I can do?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Try PC Companion.

Or try to enter in flash mode from different computer

Basicly, all you need is to enter flash mode and flash stock ftf with flashtool.

Why you can't enter flash mode, i am unable to understand...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 07boss:
Well i already tried Pc COmpanion like a houndred times even while i had TP connected...

I cant understand the problem with the flash mode neither...

Its like my phone is "dead" it just doesnt respond to anything...

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
reinstall drivers from flashtool folder (most probably it's in c:\Program Files (x86)\Flashtool\drivers\ )

Connect your Play in flash mode (power off, hold back and plug in usb)

Look in device manager for anything with name sony, sony erricson, semc, adb, r800... Expand all items if you have too. Screenshot would help also

Check in other mods too (normal and fastboot mode)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 07boss:
Hi,

btw thanks for all your help :good:

I actually find something in the device manager its called "ZEUS flash device".

Its all german but I thing its not too hard to understand.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
If you installed drivers from flashtool folder: uninstall that "zeus flash device", uninstall flashtool, download and install latest version of flashtool and then install drivers from flashtool folder

Or

Uninstall "zeus flash device", download latest PC companion, (uninstall previous version if you have) install and try with PC companion

Try with all usb ports

You could also try to uninstall other drivers (if any), for fastboot mode, and for normal mode
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 07boss:
I tried all you said mutliple times with all my usb ports still doesnt work and this "zeus flash device" appeared in my device manager again.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
I am out of ideas, but i still believe it's drivers problem (when in flash mode, my pc report "semc flash device", not "zeus flash device")

Try to manually update driver fromSony's site

Can you try at some other PC/laptop?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 07boss:
yea ill try it at another pc.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 07boss:
So now i connected it with another pc and it shows me this in the device manager:

So do you know what to do about this QHSUSB_DLOAD thing?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Damaged bootloader. I can't help you with that, but that guy from post #9 can

You should contact him or look in forum for other ppl who can (or maybe it can be done in Sony's repair center)

In conclusion: your laptop have drivers issues, your phone is soft-bricked, but not dead.

For future reference, proper steps for flashing firmwares/roms (as long as you are on locked bootloader)

-install ftf (firmware) with flashtool

-boot into rom

-root it

-install cwm recovery

-reboot to recovery

-install rom (that are marked "for locked bootloader")

Hi all,

Im new to this Universal forum since i recently got my MDA PRO ( Universal or JASJAR) from ERA mobiles-Poland. I have a few questions and would appreciate if anyone of you masters could answer them for me.

1. Firstly why do all the programs work so slowly??? I assumed that adding some new softwares slowed the system down but did a hard reset and found that there was hardly any improvement. i previously owned a Himalaya and it was much faster with the same software as in the MDA PRO. How can i change this and make more memory for running applications??

2. Is there an option where i could answer a call via the speakers by just lifting the screen of the phone?? i often answer a call with the hood closed and have to open the hood and press the "Speaker On" function before i can use the function. Im not sure if anyone has had this thought and a solution has been found.

3. I managed to download the new ROM from this forum and tried to update it on my machine but got an error " Invalid device" - Kindly contact your operator for the right update. my question is how can I update to a new ROM when running the maching with an excisting one? my device is from an operator in Poland but i would like to upgrade to a new ROM.

4. Lastly is it true that updating the device to a new ROM will increase memory and effeciency of the device or is a ROM update only developed for certain regional functions and software setting??

my device information is :

ROM Version : 1.20.37 WWE

ROM Date : 12/04/05

Radio Version : ------ ( No information)

Protocol Version : ------ ( No Information)

ExtROM Version : 1.20.129 WWE

Hope to hear a reply soon as i am dying to make a few changes.
