[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amirTor:
A common issue when upgrading to 4.3 from kies. If I'm right and you're using official rom, then I suggest doing a factory reset + cache wipe in recovery mode (note- it will delete all of your apps, but internal storage will stay intact).

For instructions about how to enter recovery mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANH-oatE6bk&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amy91:
ermmm. I have installed rom via odin flashable zip file of and I have filed via chain fir.

it wasn't working before root either.

on a side note, I have Microsoft exchange installed apk from android 4.4 kit and work email id linked plus custom email ids too..

could that be controlling my security as security policy/ dialing unknown sources. ??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amirTor:
When flashing rom with odin, there is a 'marging' issue (some files and data from pervious rom remains after flashing, which caused the device to be quite unstable- like the problem you're experiencing)

Backup all of your data, and go to recovey mode->wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache.

That will reset your device to a factory state, but will also remove all previous apps which causing this issue

I have a prophet with a 2gb sandisk SD card. I did the ROM upgrade a week or so ago and everything was working fine.

Today I went to run an app from the SD card and got an error that the app couldn't be found. When I explore the card with Resco or file explorer, I don't see any of the files on the card. When I look at the memory usage however, it would indicate that the file are still there (only 800mb free indicated).

I've tried a few soft resets with the card out and then with the card inserted with no luck.

Any ideas short of reinstalling everything back on the card?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Ned_Flanders:
Back again with a new problem :(

Just got myself one of those OTG cables for my Nexus 7 2013 32GB which is unlocked and rooted on SinlessRom and ElementalX kernel.

I got it primarily to connect my wireless Xbox 360 controller for the games that are a bit tricky to play on.

Anyway I first tried it on my Xperia S, plugged the OTG cable in, connected the wireless receiver and synced the controller. All worked good, the controller even stopped flashing to show it was connected as player 1 and I could navigate the phone with the controller. Not knowing anything about unmounting the OTG cable I just pulled it out but nothing bad happened, everything carried on working as before.

So then I try it on my Nexus 7 which is the main device I got the OTG cable for, did exactly as I did on the Xperia S but had problems. The controller responded to input but would not stop flashing as if it was still trying to sync and like before not thinking about unmounting I just pulled out the OTG cable which hard reset the tablet.

The Xperia S is also unlocked and rooted and running custom ROM but worked fine from my first quick test. I have seen others having similar issues and was wondering if anyone had a solution, I don't want this stupid cable to kill my Nexus 7!

Thanks in advance :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Ned_Flanders:
Bump.

Tried on CM based ROM (BS Harmony) and the same thing happens, OTG cable not working correctly and when unplugging freezes/restarts device.

Any known solutions?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Ned_Flanders:
Any ideas anybody? I know the OTG cable is not faulty as it works on my Xperia S without any problems.

I am thinking this is either hardware related or OS related (KitKat?).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
Did you copy over the correct keylayout file before trying to use the wireless controller on the n7?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Ned_Flanders:
I am not sure what that is :D

Honestly I have no idea of the technicals this is the first time trying such a cable, all I have tried is plugging it into the device and that's really it, if there is something more I could try then please give me some pointers :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
No promises that this will fix it but:

You have to have root, fire up a terminal:

su

cd system/usr/keylayout

mount -o remount, rw /system

cp Vendor_045e_Product_028e.kl Vendor_045e_Product_0719.kl

chmod 0644 Vendor_045e_Product_028e.kl

chmod 0644 Vendor_045e_Product_0719.kl

exit

exit

I will take a look closer before trying the commands (from android itself by the look of it?)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
Yes, you'd use Terminal Emulator within your device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Ned_Flanders:
Well it fixed the hard reset issue :)

However the controller does not stop flashing and a test on NFS Most Wanted did not go well as no controller input was recognised. Thanks anyway ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
Try booting into safe mode, then try your controller, you don't need to start the game to test it, you should be able to navigate around in your launcher if it works.

...also, the game itself must support the OTG input device...so if it works in your launcher but not a game, then it is the fault of the game.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leodani:
Can i force flash it using some program on the pc (or phone ) like ODIN??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnkotnis:
NOT AT ALL!!!!!!!!

Never do it.

Flashing that thing with Odin will surely damage your phone in such a way that it will be a pretty good paperweight.

Use Odin to flash stock firmwares only and only CWM or ***SOME*** kernels or ROMs ***whose specific instructions say use Odin***

From the extracted contents, it seems a stock cooked themed ROM. Flash it from CWM. That is proper way of installation.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janusman:
Hi

I finally have decided to try and unlock, root and install custom ROM to my TF300T. It's lagging a lot and I am going crazy over it. :mad:

I am not new to rooting and flashing roms, I have done the same numerous times to my beloved GNex and a couple of other mobile phones I owned before. Having said that, I have only followed the tutorial to flash. So, not a total newbie but sort of.

I am trying to make this tablet more usable (my usage is is restricted to browsing, streaming sports/movies and a few games). The more I read the more I am getting confused. I just would like a clean ROM which doesn't lag and hopefully a method that has lesser possibility of Bricking.

I am on the latest firmware from Asus (But, It did come with ICS if I remember correctly before I updated to 4.2.1). I know when I updated it came with new BL so, using custom recovery/roms designed for 4.1.x is not an option (please correct me if I am wrong). I intend to follow these steps -

Please point me in right direction/correct the steps/suggest better steps where ever needed. I just want to know if I am on the right path so far.

1. Unlock BL with latest Unlock tool from Asus website.

2. with [UNLOCKED BL], install 2.5.0.0 TWRP &SuperSU ( will follow - [GUIDE][13/11]Update/Recovery/Root/Downgrade Android 4.2.1 on Unlocked/Locked Devices ) - OR should I install 'openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-tf300t-4.2.img' from TWRP site?

3. Once #1 & #2 are complete, I can choose a Custom Rom and flash. Anything else to be wary about?

Questions

1. Should I use 'Flatline - Unbrickable Transformer TF300T - Jellybean edition'?

2. I do not have much data and I can download the apps again if needed. So, Is Nandroid backup/Backup with Titanium necessary? (for recovery of the system/ROM - I do not care about the apps/user data at this point)

3. Can someone suggest what they think is a better combination of ROM+Kernel? From a post I see the following ROMS I can choose from

Thanks in advance.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grit96:
After unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP, I would recommend installing CROMi-X.

It is based on stock so you do not need to wipe before installing (you can keep all your apps).

It has a nice graphical installer and you can choose lots of different tweaks.

It comes with a variety of different kernels - I use _that's OC kernel.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janusman:
Thanks for the reply. Which version of TWRP? 2.5.0.0 or the latest one from TWRP site that ends with 4.2.blog?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
Use the one that ends in -42 since you are on the 4.2 bootloader. Flatline NvFlash is always a good idea. A helpful guide is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2545610.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brewmeister:
cromi x for sure

cromix is def the way to go with this tablet-get a fast microsd-partition and use a kernel with data2sd like thats.

good luck, if installed correctly you'l feel like it's a brand new tablet

---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------

also, i find it's better to install cromi without installing a kernel first (using stock). then after cromi is up and running, use kernel installer to install desired kernel and tweaks. have fun and make sure to read everything

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] discopalace:
Hi all,

I have tried several add-ons to improve my Cingular 8125's contact management capabilities. Here are a few:

- mNotes to sync with Lotus Notes (didn't work, removed it)

- Inesoft Addressbook (wanted bigger contact pics)

- PhotoContacts (wanted bigger contact pics)

- finchSynch (for Thunderbird integration)

- couple other things, forgot...

I'm still not entirely satisfied, but it's better than before. THe one thing that is really messing me up right now is that I think I have a problem with my contacts database. When the PDA soft boots up, it gives me this error "Error: open database failed - contacts database". I click ok and go on. I'm still able to browse my contact list and contact people on it. But when I edit a contact and press ok, the phone locks up. It ends up automatically soft booting. This has happened with Inesoft as well as PhotoContacts.

So I'm wondering:

1) What is the underlying problem? My best guess is somehow a messed up contacts db

2) What can I do to fix it? Assuming it's a db problem, any way to rebuild?

3) Has anyone seen a problem like this?

Thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
Sorry to hear of your problem. Is you phone synced with outlook on your pc? - if so you should be able to restore from there. Your contacts\appts are kept in a file on the root directory of your device called pim.vol. Copy that to your storage card or desktop then rename the original - say to pim.vo and then try to restore from outlook.

Have fun ;)
