[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] esgie:
I love those advices. No matter what the problem is the answer is always: "flash the firmware in odin"

Yeah good idea - download 1.5 gb, lose all data, etc etc, bravoooo

Maybe better buy a new tablet? ;]

Pr try to use your head so the problem can be solved in 2 minutes WITHOUT above disafvantages

As to the question..

Stuck at sammy logo = corrupted kernel (boot.img). No possibility of entering recovery = corrupted recovery.

Had the same issue few days ago, after using Triangle Away with incompatibile kernel.

Btw as you sre its a stupidity to dl and flash whole rom if only kernel is corrupted! Of course it may be necessary if the system is corrupted too, but i cant see a word about it.

U sure ur flashing good cwm version?

When rebooting into recovery mode, the rest of system is avoided, so there shall be no exact reason why it may refuse to enter recovery flashed using odin other than corrupted recovery image (but that shall be detected by odin during md5 check) or ... flashing the recovery not dedicated for your device, ie by mistake.

Try philz recovery, its here on xda. flash it as usual and check if you can enter recovery...

You may also want to flash kernel - it will bring your device back to regular life. I do recommend boeffla kernel, can be found on xda, too.

Just make sure ur flashing versions dedicated for your model!!!

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recharged95:
I did the diagnostics with the touch screen, and turned out ok, but sometimes I get swype issues that are similar to the touchscreen problem on older Z1's-- you can see the swype drag line break up and I get garbage (2-3 letter) words onto my text fields. If I change hand positions/put the phone down, and retry--swype works fine. Anyone else having similar issues?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Don_Perrignon:
Yep, I am. I think people on the Z1 were having the same issue, but some firmware fixed the problem.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
..the only FW which can fix this problem is .136. Reported it does, but always can be the exception.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recharged95:
Interesting, I'm on fw 14.2.C.0.159 (C6916), and definitely seeing it (device test was ok). I'm going to check another phone at the store...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Yes, you should. BTW, different model different FW, that is why maybe your problem is not fixed yet...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Don_Perrignon:
This is correct.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobdude:
Try the one handed keyboard skin. It works better for me.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feddexx69:
man I keep seeing this statement about .136 fixing this problem..it does NOT,believe me know all devices are different but bug still there, you will see eclyptos once ur z1 arrives
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chunlianghere:
agree! after flashing .136, problem is still there.

i have already highlight this issue to a sony rep at their forum few days ago. he have already escalated this issue.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recharged95:
Trying to hit the store tomorrow.... But I can't reproduce the error consistently, but I have gotten it to fail on the touchscreen test mainly on the lower half of the screen. And every time, if I reposition my hand, it fixes itself. I do notice more dust on the screen when it has problems.

Makes me think the screen is too sensitive in certain cases (dust, fingerprints,??) , or considering this problem started after I got a very, very fine scratch near the top of the screen....i.e. a scratch on the anti shatter film is creating some problem. I'm getting a zagg screen protector but it would be nice if Sony offered a replacement film.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chunlianghere:
i play dead trigger 2 in landscape, it also have problem on the upper half of screen.

i always clear the dust before using it. therefore not the dust tat cause the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mpundit:
I am a novice. I unwittingly made a backup on my internal memory on my 16G Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 MK2, using Safestrap 3.70

Now, I wish to free up internal memory by erasing this backup and then re-constructing the backup on my 64G external SD card. How can I do this without bricking my phone? Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shiwoonie:
Simple, click on safestrap and click on reboot to recovery. Once it loads up tap the restore button, tap on the backup file you made before and click delete.

Safestrap<reboot<restore<backup<delete

to get back to system

reboot<system

Nice. I'll have to give a few of them a try. I always worry about deleting something that I shouldn't.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] i.love.my.galaxy:
Yeah thats how I learned deleting the wrong things , then having to unroot and go back to stock and restart..lol.. but all these apps I have removed and have zero problems with my phone

P.s. sorry these pictures are individual posts for some reason the xda app wont allow me to post/attach more then one picture at a time have no idea why
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ryno2333:
Thank you for taking the time to put this together. It's amazing how much bloat they put on the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] i.love.my.galaxy:
No problem someone put a list together like this for 4.1.2 but I haven't seen one for 4.3 so i was like I guess its time to figure out what I can and cant delete off my phone...lol... and yeah it is amazing what they fill our phones up with..lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goku2778:
saw 2 files you removed that I'm just giving an experienced warning on for others...if you remove the voicemail, you will not receive any notifications if you get voice messages, again I know from experience

not gonna double quote the other pic I saw but the google text to speech file, another 1 that if you ever use your phone on the road for gps, you will not get turn by turn voice directions...yes I've done this and experienced the loss of turn by turn voice

other than that, nice listings and compilation for users
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] i.love.my.galaxy:
Thank you for the for letting them know that :), voicemail for me if I miss a call I just hit and hold 1 and takes you to the old style voicemail

And I dont use voice stuff at all for my phone kinda pointless to me when you have google on mobile web...lol...

Tell you what man deleting all this is amazing how much battery I have gained and how much smoother the phone and performance is

If you and any of you have anymore pointers for the apps being deleted please feel free to share

This list is the list I personally deleted because I never have or never will I use
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goku2778:
hey man no problem, I'm like you, I rip all that crap out!! lol even the custom roms, but sometimes when I miss calls at work, I don't bother just dialing the voicemail and next thing you know, I get the message over a week late lol gotta love the space it all frees up too and speeding up the phone and saving battery life for sure

again good posting up of the pics for people to actually see and follow along
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SuperGCNBoy:
Hello everyone.

I followed iamafanof's guide for a successful boot into CM10.1.21.

I believe he says you need to partition your sd card to increase size for app space. I'm not exactly sure how to do this (this is my first attempt with this stuff).

Do you partition before you flash CM onto the sd card or can I still do it even though I've already put it on there?

Thanks for any help or resources you can provide,

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] djdelirius:
Maybe I'm completely overlooking this option but I can't find the Enable USB debugging mode on my 10.1 p600. I have no developer menu anywhere in settings. The closest thing I can find is the install from unknown sources option under security settings which is usually listed under the developer options menu on my other Android devices. I'm running stock Touchwiz on 4.3 build MK1.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] lightman33:
this option is hidden by default, you have to activate it.

in general option, you must "click" 7 times (if I remenber well) on the version number (in about device).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] ultramag69:
Yep, Sammy are getting paranoid about people using their device like they want to....
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] djdelirius:
Thanks a bunch!! It was actually the build number I had to click on 7 times. But thanks for starting me out. +1 Thanks. Now I only need to figure out how to do the same thing on my Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] djdelirius:
Nevermind, it's the same way for Note 3. Weird but it didn't work the first time I tried it.... Just like the XDA website. :p
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] ddavtian:
That's an Android thing, not Samsung. Google made a decision last year to hide developer options. Average Joe doesn't need to see these options.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] elsamuraiguapo:
Yep that's definitely not a samsung thing. Even my Nexus devices had the developer options hidden. Hell even on some custom ROMs they hide the developer options at first :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Hankafyin:
I don't understand the need to "Hide" things

I feel that this goes against the whole open source ideal. Sure, have a dialog box that states "you probably don't need or understand these setting", but to make an "easter egg" out of settings seems wrong. IMHO

I don't know if this will catch on or not, but I'd like to hear people's stories on how they screwed up or thought they screwed up their phone and fixed it? I think this could be an interesting thread with plenty of good stories and such :)
[Nexus 5 General] OuncE718:
I haven't screwed this phone up but I remember when I first started rooting phones I bricked my Vibrant (Galaxy S). I think I bricked it because I flashed the wrong radio or something. After that I have never bricked another phone. **Knock on wood**

Now I take extra caution and read extensively before rooting, flashing Roms, kernels etc.

[Nexus 5 General] eastpac:
Just took apart my Nexus 5 after it was unresponsive after a week of putting into rice/silica gels. No idea of what I am doing. I have never opened anything up in my life. Soaked motherboard into isopropyl and cleaned it with toothbrush, dropped it like 10 times, ripped a couple of cables. Should be all good though. Will post if it worked.
[Nexus 5 General] aooga:
Yeah, ripping cables is probably not going to turn out "all good". Just my opinion :)
[Nexus 5 General] kmx:
Please accept this Thanks as your post is very accurate and straight to the point.:good: Many of us have had that experience before whether it's forgetting to charge it over night by not plugging it into a charging source or it running out of battery power from heavy/extented usuage and not being able to charge it immediately after.:highfive:

[Nexus 5 General] helioXverse:
I've only totally bricked one device, that was a sprint HTC evo (og evo). I got a replacement device via insurance and due to new firmware, I bricked it trying to root it/set s-off. No fix possible, only a new phone.

As far as nexi, nexus 5 specifically, I've soft bricked it a ton of times. But, one of the reasons I love the nexus brand, its never taken any more than a nandroid restore or only once a revert to stock. Unless you Dev test (and knowingly flash untested fw) or just start randomly picking zips and flash a modem or boot loader from a different device I've found it damn near impossible to make a nexus device unrecoverable.

I did initially flash the multi-boot mod w an incompatible ROM (beanstalk) and a kernel that really didn't like the multi-boot idea either (don't remember which ver of which kernel ATM). I was stuck on the "Google" boot loader screen for hours til I tried flashing a different ROM (which also changed the kernel) and trying again. Frustrated the hell out of me, kept phone unusable for almost a whole day, and wasted a ton of my time due to my laziness to read the whole thread.

Best advice ever given on XDA, whether you are a novice/learning/a noob or a android pro many years of experience or even a skilled developer.....

ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS... did I say ALWAYS read the whole op or even better whole op and hopefully 90%+ of the thread before you try something you are unsure of.

[Nexus 5 General] The-Droidster:
Had the device perfectly set-up, with a few twrp backups as well and then for no reason...moved those backups from the device to the pc (probably in order to free some space:mad:). Then in a sequence of screw-ups, downloaded Flashify and wiped the cache and and dalvik cache from within the app (thinking it would be cool)...AND...bootloop:eek:! No backups...nothing! Booted to recovery...wiped cache/Dalvik the usual way, still nothing! Wiped data...nothing! Couldn't get ADB to work in the recovery. Finally -> Bootloader -> Fastboot Flash Stock ROM!

Did not stop though. in the next 5 minutes I was back with custom recovery, root and Titanium backup...ready to get back the device in shape (done and dusted as I type :p)
[Nexus 5 General] r0cky0790:
Reading the undervolting thread I decided to go -75 across the board. I succeeded but then tried to push it lower. Bootloops occurred. Backup copied back to SD card from PC failed to restore (said data failed. This was my first time restoring a ROM on the Nexus 5. If someone has insight as to why this happened it would be appreciated). Decided to go aosp and flash Rasta + trinity kernel but for some reason my mobile data wouldn't activate nor could I update PRL or profile by clicking on the usual option even after reboot and continuously clicking. Now I'm just getting my phone back to the original state it was in before I screwed up my UV values. Cataclysm + ElementalX #Life of a Phone Nerd
[Nexus 5 General] Nexii:
I actually used a toolkit to return mine back to stock after i shipped it out to LG for repair after my son dropped. It was much easier for me than to write out the commands. took me about 10 minutes and that was because I locked the bootloader before flashing a zip. and i had to go back yada yada but worked out fine.
[Nexus 5 General] abtekk:
Screwed up 2 Galaxy S2's, first one because I didn't pay close enough attention to the brickbug, second one because it just died... Due to the brickbug. Other than those I've never killed a phone. I thought I had broken my friends Nexus 5 though, I unlocked it and went to root it for him but TWRP/CWM couldn't mount any partitions because it's "encrypted". Got it fixed though.

I've killed xbox's, PSP's, everything. It's all part of the learning process.
[Nexus 5 General] WoodburyMan:
...When I first got my Nexus 5 in MTP on my Windows PC I had my phone hooked up to, on Internal Memory I saw a folder called sdcard that was not there before that was supposedly empty according to MTP. Deleted it. Turns out it was a symlink screwup in MTP, and it deleted my entire SD card including photos, luckily the important ones were already uploaded to Facebook and such. Now I backup my phone almost daily just in case.

I bricked my Archos Home Connect 35 once. Kinda my fault. I had set the bootloader to boot SDE firmware for it defaultly on boot. (Dev edition firmware from Google that was rootable). I updated from .82 firmware to .83 firmware, forgot to change that. It took the SDE firmware out, normally youd have to reinstall it, and since it was set to boot from that in Archos. mess of a firmware and bootloader, it would just bootloop because the SDE firmware wasnt there. No way to get out of it. RMA'd it and got a new one from Archos though. Never again, will always just manually select the SDE Dev Edition firmware when/if i ever reboot it. (Its just a Alarm clock mostly that plays Pandora occasionally. it last went 300 days without a reboot until it hard locked and I had to reboot. )

Never had a unrecoverable problem with my Galaxy S4, or my Nexus 5.Worst case with the S4 I Odin'd back to stock firmware. Nexus 5 got a corrupt data or cache partition once, i could have ran fsck but I flashed stock images instead.
[Nexus 5 General] DigitalUnderground:
I was having an issue having my phone seen on my PC. This is after I've rooted... Transferred music and pics from PC to phone, so I knew my drivers were installed. So I tried going back to stock. I downloaded the stock image and tried fastboot flashing. My download was corrupted. It got froze sending the radio. Froze for 30 min... Just kept saying sending. So I finally unplugged and rebooted to bootloader as everything else has been wiped. Tried again and it froze again at sending the boot loader. Froze for 30 min. I unplugged and tried rebooting. It never turned back on. No charging indication or anything. Officially bricked. I had tmo send me a new one and I'm returning the old one today. Wish me luck

Hey guys, I just got a Note 3 and I am looking to sell my Galaxy S3. I hadn't used it much but regardless it's obvious I have to do a factory reset so it wipes all my data and also gives the guy I sell it to a fresh phone.

But I've heard resetting an S3 is not as straightforward as it should be. Now the phone is unlocked (does reset remove the unlock?). So there are two resets? Hard reset and soft ware reset? Which one do y'all recommend and how do you do it? Which reset mode will let the new user use it as if it's a new phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You can do a wipe from the OS and also a wipe from stock recovery.

The phone will remain unlocked.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] edo101:
Is the OS wipe where you go to settings and select backup and factory reset? Doesn't the OS wipe leave your saved stuff/collected info on the phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
It shouldn't. In case it does, that's why I also suggested wiping it from recovery.

To really be safe, you could flash a stock ROM via Odin, depending on the OS that's currently installed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] edo101:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4lv1:
I'm a newbie for android development and right now I really need guidance from the senior because it's an urgent matter regarding my father's phone.

My father have MyPhone A888 Duo that he get as a present from his brother in HK.

When he do the Factory Data Reset, suddenly the phone always reboot and show Android progress bar and then restart again.

This is my stupid mistakes:

* I use SP Flash tools using MT6577 to flash the recovery.img which is actually work

* I try to get in to recovery mode and install another rom that I get from myphoneph.com but apparently the rom is not suitable so when I restart the phone it can't boot

* Then accidentally I do the format using SP Flash tools and sadly it success

* Since then when I try to flash the custom ROM or even only recovery img always failed "BROM ERROR : S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL (5054)".

* Looks like because of the USB port don't match. At first it using COM37 and the red progress achieve 100% but after failed the USB VCOM become COM32.

This is my very stupid mistakes so I really need your guidance to restore my Father's phone.

I'll wait for help from you.
