We have similar setups. I'm rooted with custom recovery, but with stock 4.1.2 Rom. I didn't take 4.3 OTA. I don't think there is a setting for your folder problem. I think it is a 4.3 OTA bug. I have seen other posts with the same folder complaint by people on the 4.3 OTA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] judson75:
Can we swear in these threads? Probably not. I think this bug is going to be the straw that broke the camel's back. I am so bummed that this knox deal has basically ended my customizing fun on the S3, I am going to leave this phone. I just bought a Galaxy Nexus on ebay that I have been playing around with. I thing it is finally time to officially jump ship. FU to the 4.3 OTA!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joekiv:
Knox isn't blocking you from customizing. The locked boot loader is - and that's Verizon. Some recent good news however, is that Samsung just announced that they will be releasing the Kit Kat (4.4.2) update for the S3 to all carriers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] judson75:
Well, a small silver lining. Thanks for the news. I'll have to try the upgrade and go from the any time line?

Hello community

I am a great fan of this community and i have recently bought a HTC Wizard and now, more than ever, i follow all the news on this site.

But, regardless of this, being a new owner has its handicaps, meaning i am missing a lot of the basic information on operating (modifing, customising, etc.) my device.

I have been using a HP4700 but i have recently bought an Orange M3000.

i hope that by this post, me and all the newcomers would find valuable information and answers and also the basic knowledge to be able to understand and contibute in more advanced threads.

Thank You
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] rares.fasie:
I would like to know what would be the first steps to follow when buying a new device to get the most out of it.

I mention that the my device is operator locked, and, i do not necessarily want to unlock it, but i want to decustomize it and to be able to flash it with the newest roms and use all enhancing tweaks

all information is appreciated, thank you
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hanmin:
You either need to do some readings around here, or you can search for specific question. Would be difficult for others to spoon-feed you :)

To decustomized it, the basic (easiest way) is to skip the customization installation after hardreset. That is to soft reset the device just after the security screen. You have 3 seconds to soft reset your device after the security screen.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] rares.fasie:
I am very interested to read every single post regarding my device. But, i have noticed that information is scaterred around and hard in getting the wide picture for starters.

I also intend to contribute to this post in order to provide the newcomers with needtoknow information so they can one day prove useful to this community, being "spoon-fed" early may develop solution-providers later.

Thank you for your interest.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick_Su:
Hello! I'm new here and I don't know where to write about it. So, I have atrix and laptopdock. Also I have Tegra2Ubuntop there and everything worked very well. But now, when I insert my atrix into dock I see..... standard desktop!!! When I type sudo gpaint or sudo dosbox these programs doesn't start. That is to say all my programms damaged. Although I can see old folders such as lxdepanel or lxde. File manager show me these directories: 1) adas ; 2) desktop ; 3)MOT ; 4) 9.8 GB Volume; 5)SD/MMC Drive, But I don't see directory OSH. Before it, I tried to run ubuntu linux. I followed by instructions from Complete Linux installer. I think I damaged webtop (which is on my flash card) by using android terminal. (While I tried to run Linux) What I should to do? Please HELP ME !

P.S. Hope you understand me.

Sbf?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andresrivas:
Yup. Or there was a project called simoletop, is original webtop with minimal changes. You could flash it and kibda of start over

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick_Su:
hm sorry for my english... But I said that I have laptop dock station with Tegra2Ubuntop. And had installed Complete Linux Installer from market and followed this instructions. (Run linux on your phone) And then destroy osh directory (I guess) And I must install Tegra2Ubuntop again, right?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
You've said in both posts something to the effect of a damaged/destroyed/edited /osh partition. Start with the basics. Flash the sbf, then test your phone on the lapdock to ensure it works. Then work from there and rebuild your device the way you want it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick_Su:
only one note. My atrix and webtop work well (but the last with the standard environment) "Flash the sbf" - Now I'm really afraid to destroy my atrix. But the main thing I understood - I should reinstall it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
Sbfs aren't that scary if you are using the ones made for your region. But yes, reinstalling is the end result
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick_Su:
ok, I have linux on my PC and when I connect my atrix I can get access to osh. I have 16 Gb flash drive and I think to format osh into ntfs. So I will have flash card 16Gb volume. (ntfs) (now it's 9.8 gb ntfs and 4 gb osh). And try to reinstall again
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
Good luck with NTFS. Honestly, it seems you don't really know what you're doing and you're about to make your situation even worse. But I could be wrong.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick_Su:
hmm.... you are right! I'm not sure with it. So I try to get a good advice from xda
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andresrivas:
Ok, let me recap to see if we are missing something here.

First of all, do not touch the /osh partition in any way other than flashing something. You wil break a lot of things if you do so and maybe end up with a nice, hi-tech battery powered paperweight.

Now. You said that linux on android destroyed your webtop yet somehow you can load it up..?

Third: is very unlikely that s tool designed for all kind if android phones just smashed through an very rare(as in only two devices of the thousands) partition thats not standard.

If you installed ubuntop, what prevents you from installing it again?

Enviado desde mi MB860 usando Tapatalk 2
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick_Su:
If I understood right, so.... Yes, I can run webtop. Open PDF, launch Firefox and so on. (But it's not a TegraUbuntop! just standart environment)

Second, It's my supposition that Complete Linux Installer (exactly android terminal) has destroyed /osh.

I must to confess.... the other guy has installed Ubuntop, not me.

And now I have Android 2.3.6 with Webtop 1.3 but If I install (flash) android 4.x ICS so, I have webtop 3.0 . But what's better? Reinstall ubuntop or install android 4x ICS ? Or you have other ideas?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andresrivas:
Aaaaaahhhh

Now I get it. Ubuntop was installed on a second partition on the external sd card, that's why you can load the original webtop, because is in internal sdcard partion.

You got 3 options.

1) Remove linux on android (which also uses external sdcard's second partition, that's why your ubuntop got overwritten) and install ubuntop again (using webtop2sd, all the info is in the forums).

2) Upgrade to atrics (or icsrom) which is the only firmware that has webtop 3.0. Beware, because webtop 3.0 is only android with a tablet interface, not a linux fesktop as original webtop.

3) keep the original webtop and linux4android

Enviado desde mi MB860 usando Tapatalk 2
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick_Su:
I know about it. But it seems quite dangerous. I can destroy my atrix.

And I can't use Complete Linux Installer because it doesn't work. (something wrong with it) So I have standart webtop

But I'd prefer 1 option. (in my view, it's more safety) But what I should to do with /osh? It's already exist! (and takes 4gb) In my opinion, I should clean it. I mean format it into ntfs (fat32) and only then try to reinstall ubuntu. What can you advice?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
So your device is broken and you want to fix it, but you don't actually want to do anything because everything is scary and looks dangerous?

Come one dude, get over yourself. Either you want to fix it or you don't. You've been given plenty of advice, now quit whining and do something about it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick_Su:
it's my last question. And then I'll act
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
It looks like you need to learn URGENTLY about filesystems, mounts and mountpoints, before you destroy everything. Your /osh is most definitely NOT 4GB in size, what you're looking at is another part of the filesystem (could be anywhere but is most likely on your external SD card) that just happens to be attached to /osh.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick_Su:
hm ok. By the way, I'll use webtop2sd, but webtop has been already transferred to external Sd card! What I need to do? Ext3 already exist. And if I insert new Sd card?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
Webtop2sd has already been transferred? Ok then why are we still dealing with this issue? You chose a method given by andresrivas, now finish setting up your webtop setup. And what do you think will happen if your phone is setup to read something from an sd card, and suprise! The sd card isn't there? Hint - file not found ring a bell? This is really basic stuff and you're turning it into an "i'm a noob and wants everyone else to fix my mistake and do the legwork to get info to my questions" session.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andresrivas:
Just skip the webtpo2sd setup and carry on to next step.

Do not touch the osh partition on internal sd.

You should read about how linux mounts storage devices onto the filesystem so you can get an idea about what's going on there and act accordingly

[General Questions and Answers] cubluwt:
Hi,

I need help :crying: :crying: :crying:

I have Xperia M c1905 bought it on 2013, August. I was trying to installed the Kitkat ROM. Everything was done, the root process, unlock bootloader, using fastboot ect. But now my phone in a bootloop condition. I already tried the solution by searching in this forum too (I was downloaded the custom kitkat rom from here too).

First I was succeeded installing the Cust.Rom but when I was installing the gaspp file here the trouble starts. The gaspp installation was failed, it says that this gasp is for 4.3.x rom. Then I was turn off the phone, and I was downloaded the gasp for 4.4.x (I didn't know the first gaspp was for 4.3.x, the posts not mention to find the 4.4.x gaspp or provide a link ect).

Then when I was finished download the gaspp for 4.4.x Rom, then I was installed the Rom once more. But this time it was failed, I tried to install the gaspp it was succeeded,but the phone was in bootloop condition. Then I tried to update my CWM (I tried all CWM for Xperia M - the old and the newest), then I was installing the Rom again, but now it was failed.

"set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed " "Status: 7"

. I tried to download and installing another Rom such as HellKat, Carbon Rom but no results, it keep saying errors like above.

I tried to install the gaspp again once more, now it was failed not succeed like the first time. I was take the secure ways, installing the official Rom/Official Firmware for my Xperia M. I was using flashtool, before this problems there's nothing problem installing the Official Firmware (I was installing once when failed with a apk files - another problem but it was solved with installing the Official Firmware), but now the flashtool cannot installing the Official Firmware, it said "Error" just "Error". And now my xperia m always bootloop (The cyan/pink led always there) - when I was pressing the volume + and - still can accessed the CWM/Recovery mode. And everytime quiting from cwm/recovery mode it always asked "The root will lost, fix this?" I always choose "Yes".

Anybody can help me please to solve this problem... :crying: :crying: :crying:

Thank you... :crying:

What you gotta do is go to recovery clear/format data...

then clear cache... and then finally and most important go to advanced then clear DALVIK cache...!

then reboot you will be able to pass the bootloop...!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
For custom ROMS with Samsung features, check out the development section. NA6 and upwards are ROM's that you would require.

However, it also depends if you are running 4.4.2 KK or 4.3 JB -- MJ/MK/ML are JB ROMS and NA/B* onwards are for Kitkat
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
Thread of the type "best ROM" or "best kernel" are not OK on xda!

Also you must be aware that any non-stock ROM will most likely result in a void warranty.

Before that you might want to investigate the problem with the "S-Voice delay" and other optimizations that can be done on the Home-button functionality before changing the ROM. And disabling some of the bloatware might also help.

Hi, everybody. I have a big problem. Since this morning and after update to kitkat, the samsung dongle doesn´t connect never more to the note 3 and what yesterday was perfect with 4.2.2, today is a problem because i use too much this dongle to put in every tv the baby Einsteins to my baby of 9 month.

Do you know if this is like that, or maybe there is another problem i dont know.

Best regards
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jsdecker10:
If it's a genuine Samsung product, then yea, there's a problem on your end somewhere. If it's not a Samsung product, then that could mean that Samsung is screwing with accessories other than just the wireless back covers, like what was in the news a month or so ago. The new kitkat update screwed with aftermarket wireless charging because Samsung wants everyone to be forced to stick with their products only. Pretty screwed up really. But I dunno, maybe it's something else?

I've just figured tho that if I twiddle the screen a little it works again. but does it again soon after.

does this sound like it needs to go back to shop for repairs? does it sound broken?

please give your replies.

I have a similar problem with the screen:

- Sometimes (once or twice a day) the Universal does not accept touch screen input.

- Then I twist the screen back and forth.

- After this touch screen works again.

How can avoid this?

BTW, is there a method to physically fix the screen in landscape?

I only use the Universal with the screen oriented in "Laptop" Mode.
