[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Rafa in the land:
Hi everyone this is my first post, if there is a better place for this in the forum lmk.

My device is a

Samsung Galaxy S4 on Ting which is a Sprint MVNO

SPH-L720 on 4.3 JB

I have gotten myself into a Boot Loop last night trying to restore from backup after "successfully" flashing CyanogenMod custom ROM. The reason I wanted to go back to stock was because none of my data was part of the ROM. This was my first time rooting and flashing a rom and I need help to get back to stock with or without my backup. These are the steps I took to get myself where I am at. I can't post links, I used the videos from qbking77 to do all this.

I used odin on windows to root [Qbking77 on youtube]

I also used GooManager on playstore for TWRP Recovery [Qbking on youtube]

I then used TWRP to create a backup.

I used the GooManager app to DL a cyanogen ROM and a Gapps package.

I installed the 2 zips using TWRP and wiped before I did. The flash works and the ROM works but I want to go back to stock and possibly unroot. I can access download recovery and TWRP but when I try to restore my backup it gets stuck into the samsung booting screen.

I didn't disable KNOX with the SU permission, do I boot up cym again to disable it ?

Does a Restore from backup using TWRP take a couple hours and should I not interrupt the samsung boot screen ?

I only have 800mb space on internal, how do I clear up space for the firmware flash through odin in download recov [QBking77 on youtube]

Thank you for reading, I really need the help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Rafa in the land:
I have an empty sd card in there but how should I clear space for manually installing 4.3 JB when my internal has only 800mb.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Rafa in the land:
I got it back to stock with a 4.3 JB firmware install with an odin v1.85, still can't put up links. I might leave this up for archive and I don't expect to be back on here for a while.

I debugged until my fingernail bled, no lie.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] amskhan1:
I have an older build of eclectic on installed; which is having problems; so i want to update. Bit evertime i try to enter recovery my phone boots into the current ecliptic rom.

Anyone kow how i can fix this?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] JoeNeckbone:
Which recovery and version?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surfthesummer:
I did quite a bit of reading to get an answer myself, but I'm a little behind with Samsung knox thing and about to purchase i9192...

Can I flash any of the available i9192 ROMs or do I have to look for a compatible baseband and newer ROMs than the one currently installed?

P.S. I don't need any additional languages but English on my ROM (if that has to do anything with it at all).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrgrrg:
Well you can only wait for an ota and saferoot .. that if u want to keep knox 0x0 .. flashing and older or even newer firmware through odin will trigger knox to 0x1 ..this is unrevirsible ... and its drawbacks are

-no more ota for ya (except if u install wanam tool xposed and fake the system to official)

-warrenty will be gone see your country samsung center ..not all

-if its a job's phone trigering knox will dismiss the phone
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surfthesummer:
Thanks! So if I don't care about the warranty and OTA I can flash any of the i9192 ROMs through odin? Do I have to look for certain roms (i.g., for my region) or any of them would work?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrgrrg:
no u dont :) .. simply use the latest :cool: .. yea exactly warrenty and ota .. also they say if knox is triggered mhl becomes not working but i later discovered we dont have mhl support in the first place :laugh:..but be careful because once u flash for example a full samsung tar of bna1 u wont be able to go back to ml4
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If so do all buttons work on g2. Would you recommend it or a different headset?

my stock ones gotten wet and sound tincanny, otherwise I would not be looking for a replacement.

Speaking of which, anyone has compared with stock ones?

edit Q was originally for klipsch, I misread it has one button.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffejy462:
I have the klipsch s4a ii. There is only one button on the headphones... One click play/pause. Two: skip. Three: back.

I would recommend them highly. I've used the s4 ii, s4a, and the s4a ii, and they are all good.

I really don't think you can go wrong with any similar headsets in the same price range. There is a huge selection of very good headsets on the market.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
anyone know of a good three button alternative?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stetre76:
I still use the UR beats that came with my HTC One X a while back.

The remote works like this:

- fwd/bwd buttons >>> volume up/down

- Center button in combination with Head Set button controller > start/stop, next/previous title
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] klutz035:
I hear that you guys had a program that can make the two softkey buttons on the front of a Cingular 8125 so that when you hold them down they either go to the start menu of close a program. Also I havent bought the phone yet and I was wondering how you dial on the phone without the voice command since there are no number buttons on the front.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xprtrdr:
yes I to would like to know how to customize the soft keys
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mrchicken:
Yep, I just installed it on my 2-day-old 8125, and it's making a world of difference. SO much more usable now, especially with one hand. Available here if you are logged in:

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=41060

Its customization is quite nice, in that the close functionality can be customized per-program to either close or hide. (Although either way you'll want to download any of the various programs that allow you to really close things.)

Tap the screen with your fingernail. That's pretty much the only option AFAIK unless if you are holding it sideways with the keyboard open. I don't really find it a problem for dialing, since I'm dialing a stored number 99% of the time anyway. But kind of a pain when typing in key selections while on a call, e.g. w/ customer support. For that I usually go to speakerphone anyway, which makes it easier to tap.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] Hubik82:
As I remember, Motorola offered free 50GB of storage but I read that it have to be activated via Sky Drive app included in the stock ROM. I'm now running CM11 so... Is it possible to activate this offer using apk from stock ROM? If yes, maybe someone can upload Sky Drive apk that comes from stock.

that's Google drive - available at play store..
[Moto G Themes and Apps] goxon:
Google drive, and after phone activation you have one month to activate Drive bonus

[Moto G Themes and Apps] Hubik82:
Of course I was thinking about Google Drive.

But my question is: activation is possible only from stock ROM?

Sent from my Moto G running CM11
[Moto G Themes and Apps] wildestpixel:
It should be based on phone model at a guess which is described in build.prop.

But really its quicker for you yo install Google drive to find out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 21017:
I sold my Samsung S2x with Jedi Mind trick rom installed.

[Galaxy Note II General] SadHeroXIII:
Hello everybody :o ,

As many people are waiting from months for this,

I just suddenly fount it coming :D

The Android 4.3 is now in SA, and I think the skipped countries will get it also :D

Downloading right now ... :good:​
[Galaxy Note II General] muppetmania:
I too was excited when I could upgrade to it.

Now I wish I could downgrade.

I hope your experience is more pleasant.
[Galaxy Note II General] yahyoh:
why ?

i really like 4.3 update :good:
[Galaxy Note II General] muppetmania:
That's good to hear, I haven't read many positive reviews so far.

My issues I've encountered:

Phone crashing hard every 24 hours. This happened for the first 5 days - it'd crash so hard that someone else could ring my phone, they'd hear a ringtone (i.e. the modem was still working) but the phone wouldn't ring. The lock screen would show the time the phone had crashed. So it might be 8:30pm, but the lock screen would still show 6:23pm.

This issue seems to have resolved itself recently, the only thing I did was to clean the contacts of the SIM and SD Card. I'm doubtful that made any difference, but I haven't had the same issue since.

Music skipping while screen off Lots of people report this with 4.3. It only happens once every 5 minutes, so it's not a major, but it's still annoying while you're out walking/jogging etc. Just a little stutter. This never happened with 4.1.2

GPS will crash, requiring a reboot This has been happening quite often. My "fix" for this now is to leave GPS turned off via the widget and only turn it on when needed. Not a major hassle, but I could leave the GPS on all the time with 4.1.2. With 4.3 if I do that, at some stage the GPS will crash, the GPS icon will show it's locked on but no programs that use the GPS can get any reading from it. As I said, reboot fixes it.

Contacts App Slow & Takes CPU A right pain in the arse this one. I fixed it, at least I think I have, by clearing the data of the Contacts app. You don't lose anything except locally stored numbers (who uses those?) because everything resyncs from online accounts. This seems to have helped stop the Contacts app being as laggy as it was, though I only did this recently so I'm not sure if it's a long term fix.

Overall the phone is more sluggish. Sometimes it'll take 10-15 seconds to turn on when I press the power button, that is for the lock screen to appear. Answering a phone call can take 2 slides, the first one won't register.

I didn't do a factory reset because, as I've stated elsewhere, I think this is a myth that doesn't really solve anything, it just appears to.

Anyway, I hope your experiences are different. If I could go back to 4.1.2 easily I would, but of course once you go forward there's no going back.

Or I could install a "Custom ROM" hacked together by some kiddie, then I get to spend all my days posting "Which ROM has the best battery life, I've flashed 16 different ones but I can't decide, hurp-a-durp"
[Galaxy Note II General] yahyoh:
"I didn't do a factory reset because"

yeah complaining without factory rest is totally dumb :silly: , do full wipe and try again

BTW i never had any crash on 4.3 not even with the leaked version
[Galaxy Note II General] muppetmania:
Why does a factory reset work?

Oh, you have NO IDEA and are just repeating like a sheep what everyone else says?

Yea, that's totally dumb.

Hey there guys, was just wondering what the best camera apps are for the note 3 when running an AOSP based ROM.

Obviously you lose the Samsung one and the one included with the ROMs all produce blurry and grainy photos.

So do any of you know of some nice alternatives that provide pictures on par or as close as the stock camera (i don't really want to go back to TW just yet)

Thanks in advance!

Not trying to be negative, just realistic. If it gets updated, great. But more than likely, it will not. If there is an update, the only shot we have at seeing it is if lg leaks it. Att has put this phone in their rearview mirror a long time ago.

[Moto X Q&A] joda08:
so i tried to update to the new sprint update that fixes the 4.4 battery issues. i was on twrp recovery and i flashed back to stock recovery and tried to dirty flash the update on top. i had xposed framework installed so was pretty sure that wasn't going to work. and it didn't. now i decided to use the moto x toolkit to flash back to stock. it booted up just fine then i downloaded the update from 4.2.2 to 4.4 and the update failed. now i'm stuck with basically nothing on my phone at all. i can get to fastboot mode but thats it. cant power up cant enter recovery can't do anything.. also i had a unlocked bootloader and now its reading locked again. here is the error i'm getting.

failed to hab check for gpt_nain: 0x35

failed to hab check for gpt_gpt_backup: 0x35

I've been working on this for about 7 hours and have looked up everything i could think of to try and get this fixed. i may just be missing something.. does anyone know how i could fix this?
[Moto X Q&A] Steve-x:
What version is your bootloader, you can see it in the fastboot screen.
[Moto X Q&A] joda08:
30.71(*) (sha-913941e, 2013-07-31 10:46:37)

is that was your looking for?
[Moto X Q&A] Steve-x:
OK, that is the 4.2.2 bootloader. Your bootloader is locked in that screen shot - so how did you install twrp recovery?

Also your avatar shows AT&T but you mention you tried using the Sprint update, can you confirm the phone you have is a Sprint model?
[Moto X Q&A] joda08:
thanks for the reply! well i already tried that and i can't get rsd to flash. are there some special drivers i'm supposed to install? i got the motorola drivers from their web-sight. and it won't flash. it sees that there is a phone but all catagories read n/a and it just comes up with flash fails..
[Moto X Q&A] joda08:
i'm not sure how the bootloader got locked again.. it wasn't locked before i'm pretty sure the moto x toolkit i used to flash back to stock relocked it?.. or maybe not. but i do know it was unlocked and now its locked. and when i try to get the unlock code like last time it doesn't work.
[Moto X Q&A] joda08:
yes this is a sprint phone.

Edit: thank you for pointing that out, never changed it from years ago
[Moto X Q&A] Steve-x:
If you were able to relock the bootloader and have the phone report status code 0 then you'd be the first to have done it. You can relock the bootloader but it requires a specific procedure to be followed and the phone will never indicate status code 0 again.

Review this guide - the first flashing option you should work for you, remember to remove the getvar line

Nope. I don't think it's defective, unless he can put in any other cards. I think the Samsung cards are made to be a little thicker.. to ensure a solid connection. I pull it out.. it's always hard to put back in. No pun intended.

Performace wise... the uhs I card plays video flawlessly. No studder or video lag. Im also using it for taking pics. The previous card I had was slow to store... allow to load on the pc... I guessed that the surrender in a class 4 and a class I.
