Please Help Folks : GSMART MAYA M1V2 -

I successfully rooted my device weeks ago and decided to install CWM so that i could back up by streamlined version of the OS (No Bloatware)

used MTK tools and

The procedure worked fine - the phone rebooted into CWM Mode - i created a recovery which i subsequently backed up!

Then i used details at the following site to resize the partition, with the Meteos app:

Again everything fine - then i reboot in order to restore my back up - THIS IS WHERE THINGS GO WRONG

Instead of booting into CWM5 my fone is in the stock recovery mode - and will not restore any version of my software - obviously not being CWM i cant install my recovery, but it wont even take the Manufacturers rom -

Please help folks - im in deep trouble - i believe i followed the instructions to the letter but now i am deeply concerned (cant really afford another fone)

I have the original rom, my CWM backup and i will do whatever is necessary to fix the issue - I am very upset about this and ive been working for hours on it - i know it sounds idiotic but i was in tears earlier :crying:

The fone boots into its own internal recovery mode - and is picked up by adb as 123456789 etc etc

I would be eternally grateful - please help me

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BennyZars:
i am going to update my brothers samsung galaxy ace gts5830 rom because his memory is only 33/450+ something.

anyway i would like to ask if the following roms from the link below are not simlock. because my brothers galaxy ace is not simlock.

http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-S5830

there is a category there that shows it is unlock. but there is a link when you click the word "unlock" where it shows how to unlock it.

what does it mean? is it already unlock or i need to unlock it because it is still locked?.

sorry for the noob question. thanks in advance for your help.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iqbal_mahmuda:
What do you mean simlock, and memory is only 33/450?

Simlock is available for all stock rom.

And, what is your brother galaxy ace android version?If it is 2.3.6, it will doesnt do anything.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cool_case:
Just got my device back from "the shop" with a new MB as it had the stuck in bootloader problem. Unless I'm missing something, with WM2005 there's no extended ROM, or, as it used to be called "storage".

Is it that no one has figured out how to unlock the extended ROM yet, or is there no longer such a space in the physical ROM?

8) 8)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] PReDiToR:
http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=33638

You know, the one right at the top of the forum, sticky, can't miss it?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cool_case:
Yeah, I know about that thread, which was started months ago back when WM2003 was the ppc OS, which did have a unlockable extended ROM. There are only two posts at the end of the thread about unlocking the extended ROM with WM2005. Neither of them confirms anything.

That's why I made a new thread, because there isn't an unlocker for WM2005 yet PReDiToR and I wanted to find out if anyone was working on it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] PReDiToR:
The Universal never ran on anything but WM5. It was marketed as the first WM5 device available.

By "Extended ROM" and "unlocker" do you mean what I think you mean? The 10MB partition that holds operator .CABs that are loaded after a hard reset? And you want to take away the write protect, make it visible and use it as storage?

If we are talking at cross purposes, please let me know.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cool_case:
My mistake, the Uni always only had WM05. You're right.

Re-read the extended ROM unlocker thread. Got into extended_ROM with Total Commander. Moved all the cab files out of ext_ROM. So, that can still be done in ROM version 1.30.76.

But, I haven't figured out yet how to "see" the extended ROM. In prior versions of the ROM you could see the separate 10MB partition using the memory utility. Haven't been able to do that yet.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] PReDiToR:
You're welcome.

It's a doddle, two files to run, a little registry edit and a reboot.

I called mine "Storage" and after compressing the files I have, this is what it looks like:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cool_case:
Sorry for the mix-up, PReDiToR. The methods in the ext_ROM thread still work for ROM version 1.30.76 to unlock the ext_ROM. (See my edited post above.) I've gotten into the ext_ROM and moved all the cab files out, but I can't "see" this area to use it, though I can see it as empty in Total Commander.

Maybe it's that I need to rename it, but I thought the utility I got from BuzzDev.net renamed it "extended_ROM". Going to fiddle around with it more.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ady:
the utility only makes it writable. you still need to edit the registry
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] PReDiToR:
The ROM version doesn't have any effect on it. The factory partitions the DOC, we're not altering that setup (yet). If you reflash your device the ExtROM data goes back into the ExtROM and it is all locked up again in the new OS that you installed.

To use this 10MB You need to do three things, and one optional step:

Run Buzz's unlocker.

Make it load in the right boot phase (Reg Edit).

Make it mount as visible (Reg Edit).

Change the name if you want (Reg Edit).

The unlocker is on page 1 of that thread, the registry edits are on page two.

Once you have done those things, do a soft reset (using psShutXP preferably, or wait 5 minutes before pressing the reset pin).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cool_case:
It had been so long since I did this before, didn't remember having to do all of those steps.

Got it up and running now with the extra 10 MB of space in extended_ROM. Had to use this version of the registry key edit:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemStora geManagerAutoLoadTRUEFFS_DOC1]

"Bootphase"=dword:00000002

"Order"=dword:00000001

"LoadFlags"=dword:00000001

"DriverPath"=" Drivers/BuiltIn/TrueFFS1"

Thanks for the help!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] PReDiToR:
If you do the other registry change - MountHidden = 0 - You will see it as another storage card in your file explorer, and changing the name to something else is helpful.

Once you have done these two things the option to install things to the 10MB comes up when you run .CABs.

No problem.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cool_case:
Yeah, uninstalled a few things from program memory and installed them in extended_ROM. Had done that before the JJ went down for repair - glad to get an extra few megs of program mem back and have extended_ROM space to spare.

Had already done the other registry edit below, but am not able to change the name from extended_ROM2. Not a problem, but a little annoying.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]

"MountHidden"=dword:00000000

"Folder"="Extended_ROM"

"PartitionDriver"=""

"Name"=""

"DefaultFileSystem"="FATFS"
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] PReDiToR:
Try this, which is straight from my Uni:

[HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
(Default) = (Value not set)
DefaultFileSystem = FATFS
Folder = Storage
MountHidden = 0x0 (0)
Name =
PartitionDriver =

[HKLM\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
(Default) = (Value not set)
BootPhase = 0x2 (2)
DriverPath = Drivers\BuiltIn\TrueFFS1
LoadFlags = 0x1 (1)
Order = 0x1 (1)

This should have it loading at the right time and you can change the name from "Storage" to whatever you want, assuming you haven't changed any of the other DOC settings.

I know when I was playing with the "ShadowROM" (TrueFFS2) I managed to get it in the wrong bootphase and it came up Storage2. I think Buzz posted something about that in another thread.

I wouldn't live with it having the wrong name, I have to get it absolutely right. I spent ages tonight trying to get the WADesktop \Themes folder into \Storage which caused all sorts of problems and registry edits.

My device, my way.

edit: missed a line of code.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cool_case:
Ok, that registry change got the name of extended_ROM area changed to "storage". Thanks much!!

[Off track, but ... boy, you're right about WADesktop being a pain with which to work. When I changed the name of the extended_ROM to storage, had to change a line in quite a few dock and other files. WAD was much easier to work with when everything you made for your "your way" desktop was contained in the file default.skin. Now, to see or change stuff on your WAD desktop, you have to open up and change a ton of little files. Still, WAD is great stuff. Without it, the desktop is painfully restrictive and way too boring.]

I'm not tackling putting the WAD themes folder into storage. Getting the main WAD files and the WA2 files into storage frees up enough space - as much as my patience can handle.

I'm impressed that you did it, though!

What's in the "ShadowROM"? What can you do with it?

Here there be dragons ;-)

How does one sneak into the cave without them noticing?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] PReDiToR:
Back up before you try this, as the thread says, it usually leads to an unavoidable or sudden hard reset.

ShadowROM.

If you venture in, tell us what you find =)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cool_case:
Hmm ... looks like if you use it, it isn't shadowing the storage memory anymore and on a soft reset it hard resets back to mimic the storage memory. It's kind of like a RAID 1, but not exactly.

Maybe someone will figure out a way to not have it tied to the storage memory any longer and make it usable as an extra storage area.

However, I think it was intended as a backup area. A better hack might be this - finding find a way to use it as a backup for the OS + installed software, with a way to take an image of what's installed on demand. Then, if something gets messed up and you need to restore, you could restore the image you took.

Im using the Vzw VS980 variant. I have digitaldream rom and i flashed a custom kernel. The custom kernel is not impressing me that much and i wish to go back to stock kernel....im not entirely certain how to go about doing this. Could someone assist?

I think i can find the stock kernel within digitaldreams .zip.....but not sure what to do with it then. I suppose reflashing my rom will fix, but i would rather not as I have made modifications that would be reset when i reflash. Any help is appreciated! ! Thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mandroid717:
It you find a kernel.zip. you save it to your internal SD card then flash it through recovery. Make sure its the proper kernel for your model.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in99flames:
Thank you sir!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

You can extract the boot.img (should be in the root of the zip) from your rom zip and put it in a kernel flashable zip and flash (replace the boot.img, use the flashable zip you used to flash your custom kernel for example).

Maybe the better is to dirty flash your rom (wipe only Dalvik cache and cache so you won't lose anything, it depends of what you have modified according to your OP) then the original kernel (boot.img) will be restored and even some system files if your custom kernel has modified some.

:)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] killerz298:
I am currently running the latest kitkat version but have had the problem with previous version of Android as well. Every so often, I will go into my gallery, and all the pictures in the camera folder are gone. The other galleries are fine, it is just the location where the phone stores photos taken with the phone. I use a file manager and the folder is empty. I hook it up to the computer and still nothing. I save files to the internal memory, not SD card. I have dropbox set up to sync my photos. I don't see any setting which would delete the photos after they are synced, and even if there was such a setting the photos would be missing on a daily basis which they aren't. Luckily dropbox has been syncing so I haven't lost anything but it is pretty damn annoying. Any clue on this weirdness?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rickm8384:
Am I the only one who finds the camera on my note 2 way better than the note 3 camera?? Do I have a lemon?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] daneurysm:
I'm going to vote for lemon. I did not have a Note2 or Galaxy3 but I started with the HTC Hero and am currently on a Note3 and have probably had 15 devices in between. The Note3 camera has performed for me pretty much identically to my S4 camera which performed significantly better than my S2 camera, which was the first phone camera that got me to ditch a point and shoot and only keep a DSLR on hand for serious photography projects.

As amazing as these cameras are they are still pretty fallible...the sensors aren't huge and the lenses are kinda lacking. But all said, they produce shocking amazing photographs in most situations given that these are all-in-one devices (which have historically been "the worst at every function but, hey, it does all of them")

Setting up test scenarios can be difficult given the amount of variables that could be involved.

All said, I'd have to say that you might have a lemon on your hands. It happens. We hear about these one-off cases all the time on XDA. They often start flame wars. Tens of millions of these devices are produced in different production runs. I work in manufacturing...no two runs (or items in any given run) are ever completely identical. Even though I have always gotten the best-in-show of each device I've ever gotten and had no problems that I've heard described--hey, I've been very lucky so far--I know that, statistically speaking, there is a chance that I turn up a dud.

On the bright side, statistically speaking, you've gotten that out of the way and should have a long spell of good luck with statistically insignificant defects.

Caveat: YMMV
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xile6:
You are correct , the note 3 camera sucks.

I came from a HTC one and it blows the note 3 out the water. Even my s2 was better then this.

The note 3 camera takes fair pic in bright light, but indoors is crap.

They all look gainy and flat.

I knew the camera wasn't going or be all that but like so much other things about the phone that I got it anyway.

I hope they can do a patch to fix the camera but I think it's hardware and not software.

And for those that say it must be my phone its not. My girls is the same and the reviews pics I see on the net are the same.

My phone takes clear images. It has its days though when I'm inside and it looks crappy it looks crystal clear outside though and dark even zoomed in at 4x video and pictures look great outdoors indoors ehh like I said has its moments where I capture a good picture
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cun7:
Turn of the "tap to take a picture" setting in your camera app....

I would be willing to bet your gripe here is that your pictures are blurry, that is likely why. And turn on image stabilization.
