hmm yea ... or switch between recoveries restore w/ cwm, install twp, reboot re-create backup .. repeat.

Is there a fix permissions in twrp ? and is usb mounting in windows ? I found I didn't have the functionality of either with the latest CWM
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
thats what i was refferring too for saving your backups and restorable via twrp....and yes to all the other questions...twrp can do so many things while in recovery...for example..say you downloaded a rom from phone and forgot to put it in root of sdcard...twrp has a file manager with copy and paste functionalities to do so...it supports adb sideloading, mounting for both windows and linux, permissions, much better and clearer wiping method...all touchscreen...very themable for example http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45122951&postcount=1 i made this theme specifically for my htc rezound as well as many others...which ill more than likely port to the relay as it has to match screen dimensions for resolution...overall it just has a bulk of many great options for a recovery and is very easy to use and get used to

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HippoMan:
Did something wrong. How to fix?

I wanted to install this version of twrp on my apexqtmo using heimdall under linux.

I booted into "download" mode, connected my USB table to my linux box, and I then stupidly flashed the wrong twrp module by mistake (for a different phone).

Without realizing my mistake, I then rebooted. I ended up back in my OS, and then, using the Power Menu, I booted into recovery mode. I got the blue text saying RECOVERY BOOTING.... , but after that, the screen remained black.

From then on, I cannot boot into the normal OS, nor into "download" mode.

Even if I remove the battery and then perform a standard boot using the power button alone, I get the blue text saying I'm booting into recovery, and the dead, black screen shows up.

I want to boot into the OS or download mode, but I can no longer do either. No matter what combinations of Volume-Up, Volume-Down, Home, and Power that I press, I always get back to RECOVERY BOOTING...., and I can't get into download mode again, no matter what.

Did I brick my phone?

If not what can i do to fix it?

Thanks for any help.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nardholio:
The only way to clear the reboot mode is to either trigger a different mode or complete the boot. If key combinations don't work, you can try to see if the device comes up in adb and then you can "reboot bootloader" failing that you can trigger download mode with a resistor on the usb port. Google galaxy s 3 jig to find out how to make one or buy one
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HippoMan:
Thank you very much!

... and I fixed it!!!!

Your adb suggestion led me to the solution ...

I tried adb, but it didn't work.

However, after that adb attempt, the usb cable was still plugged into my device from my linux box, and I noticed that the device was in some sort of boot loop. The device kept giving short vibrations every few seconds.

At that point, I tried one more key combination that I hadn't thought of before: with the cable still plugged in, I held down Volume-down and Home without pressing the Power button ... because I guessed that the existence of the boot loop means that power might already be on, which would cause the power key to be unnecessary.

And my guess was correct: I got into Download mode!

I flashed the correct version of TWRP, and now all is well.

Thank you again for providing the suggestion that led me to my solution!

Also, thank you for telling me about the jig. I'm now going purchase one anyway, just in case I screw up again in the future. I think I can get one for $8 or less (I'm too lazy and clumsy to try to make one on my own).

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] reaper000:
It's weird, but I had the same experience with the blue "RECOVERY BOOTING" followed by dead phone as described a couple posts ago... and I was flashing the correct file, the twrp zip in the OP, from recovery (cwm 6.0.3.7). I did it twice and got the same bad result.

To get around the bad dead phone result, I held volume down and power for 15 seconds, got into download mode, and then selected volume down to allow the phone to boot normally. Once it did, I went to the Play store and installed an app that could flash another recovery (cwm 6.0.4.5). Which worked.

I will try flashing the .img file and see if that works, but I'm kinda perplexed why the twrp zip didn't work from recovery...
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HippoMan:
You indeed have to flash the .img file, at least if you're installing from the command line using heimdall.

.​
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] reaper000:
Ended up successfully flashing the .img file with recovery tools app from play store. Thanks all!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HippoMan:
Glad it worked.

Also, FYI: you can't flash a recovery from within recovery. This is why your earlier attempt to flash the .zip from within recovery didn't work.

As far as I know, you have to be in bootloader mode (also called "download" mode) in order to flash a recovery. You have to boot into that mode and use somthing like heimdall to install the .img file. There are also tools you can use which will flash a recovery from a .zip file, but they actually just extract the .img file from the .zip file and then load that .img file via bootloader mode.

.​
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Magamo:
The .zip file provided here CAN be flashed from within recovery. What likely happened was a bad download.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] reaper000:
Yeah, was thinking bad download, but I dl'd it twice. And there was no MD5 checksum that I could see
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Magamo:
Actually, which version of CWM were you using to attempt to install this from? Likely significantly old versions were not set up to flash recovery properly.

is there anyway for htc phones ?
[Networking] Rudegar:
check around in the settings if the xda see the modem profile on the cellphone when you bound then then you can do it

if not maybe the bluetooth stack on the device dont support it

if not you can look into installing the vidcomm bluetooth stack on your device

if it's avalible for that device

I also experience lag in the YouTube app. Switched to the app Viral, and all is good.
[G2 General] compumasta:
No

The YouTube app does not on 4.4.2, nor has it ever on 4.2.2, lag. There is no lag in HD video, as long as your internet speed can handle it.
[G2 General] K3yMaster:
Lol. I love people telling me how I should perceive my phone.

I have 5 smartphones in the house, and this is only one with the issue.

I'm connected to the Internet through a 50 Mbit fiber optic connection and last time I checked that is sufficient for YouTube.

It lags at my end period.
[G2 General] compumasta:
You are allowed to perceive whateverthehell you want. I didn't quote you, I was responding to the thread question, and the OP's original thread. And out of that other 6 page thread, maybe 3 or 4 people said they experienced lag. Most likely, all things considered its YOUR phone, not an problem with G2's in general or a version of JellyBean or KitKat. It's a small set of people who experience odd lag, which is extremely hard to remedy when no one can reproduce it.

That said, I have not experienced any YouTube lag at any point with any firmware on this device. That's all I said, but it may not be what you "perceived".
[G2 General] hamad138:
There are many on forums who experience the same.

The odd is only youtube 5.xx lags, the 4.xx doesnt lag
[G2 General] compumasta:
Have you tried on KitKat? If it is out for your phone, give it a shot. Who knows, maybe it will resolve your issue. I have not seen or spoken with these people and the overwhelming majority do not experience such lags. If it is an issue with the firmware flash that was initially flashed by LG when it was new, then upgrading to the KitKat may resolve the issue. Likewise, if a person with no lag gets a bad flash of KitKat, it could create the same lags that do not affect the majority.
[G2 General] Koopa777:
For what it's worth. It never lagged on AOSP 4.4.2. I flashed a stock ROM, and boom, lag. I'll test again on the new ROM I just flashed.

I am looking to update my bootloader to the 4.3 Bootloader, but it seems there is no firmware-only zip/tar. I have found of course the one-click full restore which brings you to all the newest firmware bits, but this wipes your internal storage, and do not want to do a copy+paste + copy back. Could anyone point me to a firmware-only update to MK4? Or at least just the MK4 bootloader, as all else is updated.

Lol the internal storage copy wasnt as long as expected :-p. Just doing the one-click now. Thanks anyway guys@
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Yeah so far there is not a firmware only upgrade. Most likely won't be one since most don't want any kind of Knox on their phone.

Huh? Which phones got 4.3 bootloaders without KNOX? I thought for SURE that every 4.3 bootloader contains KNOX and no one's figured out how to strip it out?

If anyone wants the 4.3 bootloader WITH KNOX (AGAIN...WITH WITH WITH KNOX, NOT WITHOUT) I'll strip it out of the MK4 tarball, package it up and host it tomorrow.

Sent from my SPH-L900. Please hit the thanks button if I helped you out!

EDIT: Here it is: https://www.mediafire.com/?advn74f40k25cjx I'm pretty sure the bootloader only contains sboot.bin and tz.img for the L900 on MK4. IIRC, boot.img is part of the application package, not the bootloader package (I may be wrong...?)

Every other Galaxy Note 2 except for the L900 has MK4 without knox. They're in the forums, just look

A friend of mine let me borrow his old GS3 from att while my tmobile Xperia was being repaired.

I was prepared to unlock it until I noticed that on 4.3 you can't really do that so then I went on a very long search to find ways to downgrade to 4.1.x firmware in order to SIM unlock the phone.

I haven't been able to find any way to get the lower firmware version, whether trying to get 4.1.1 via Odin, which returns some kind of authentication error, to flashing a custom rom with a 4.1.1 base which gives me a status 7 error in clockwork mod. If anyone knows any methods to downgrade or unlock on 4.3 and can share that would be appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
In order to unlock, you need to be running completely stock 4.1.1, including the bootloader. You cannot downgrade the 4.3 bootloader which is why you are getting errors in Odin.

You'll need to purchase an unlock code.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
The senior member is very correct. I just successfully downgraded an i747 from stock 4.3 to 4.1.1 by flashing via Mobile Odin. This wouldn't be the first time I'll do this but the first time it went totally hitch-free. The system is running fine on stock 4.1.1 but, unfortunately, free unlocking is not supported via the service menu. If you try this, you'll find the 'missing' step [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ ... is still at large.

Tough but until someone comes up with an hack or exploit, it's business time for the unlock code sellers.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vamanos:
How do I know which unlock code sellers are trustworthy?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
I'd be wary about endorsements because the internet abounds with so many scams these days of people purporting to sell unlock codes. You can easily tell which ones are scammers if they request an IMEI to "check for code availability". If you enter a random 15-digit code and you see it pretending to go through the motions of scanning and then comes back with 'code found' result, run with your money. There is nothing random about how IMEI numbers are generated and the odds of coming up with a random 15-digit number that is consistent with reality is a statistical improbability. I usually test by putting in an actual IMEI number with only the last digit changed. The last digit is a control number with only one possible outcome so if someone tells me they found a code with this bogus IMEI, I know immediately they are not worth the bother.

I have, however, used (http://maingsmserver.com/index.php) with 100% success several times. Cost of the 1-2 day Samsung service is $20 (compared with $30 on most other sites). Also payment is only via PayPal giving you additional security on your money. If the code is not found, the money or credits purchased is returned to your account.

[General Topics] farbird:
I'd tried out several "task close" programs and have rounded up the 2 better ones..

1 ) vjokbuttons

2 ) phmkeys "close task"

advantages of vjokbuttons is that, u can add trailing options for the different behavior

advantages of the phmkeys close task is that, when u keep on pressing the hw button assigned to this phmkey close task, and the moment u are in today screen already, the next button press will prompt a suspend ppc dialog.. ie power down.

This phmkey has been used very extensively by me due to its ability to prompt a shutdown after all apps have been closed.

however, this nifty little program also have its disadvantages..

it does close the task window.. but as applications have secondary and tertiary windows, the phmkeys close task may cause the app to behave strangely if the task close is activated in the application secondary window..

also, it causes control panel apps to not run again if the phm task close was used to close , eg , "memory" in control panel..

I remember in wisbar, its task close button will automatic detect between the need of an "OK" click and the need for the "Close" click.

Is that possible to be included in the vjokbutton?

ie if in secondary window of app [ eg options page ] to have the vjokbutton to simulate an "ok" click instead of close? and if it detects that it is in the primary window of application, to simulate a "close task" when the assigned hw button is clicked..

and of course, when in the today screen , the vjokbutton should prompt for a suspend window for shutdown

can the above features be included in your next release? vijay555?
