[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] shooker01:
Hi all, I'm new to the forums. So I am very sorry if I post in the wrong section or something...

I have this problem, with android 4.2.2 for my samsung galaxy s2 plus device, after I updated the old 4.1.2 with samsung kies.. I was using the 4.2.2 fine with no problems... untill my device rebooted out of the blue. And so it started rebooting constantly every 1-2 hours or so... And I was wondering if anyone could tell me where the problem is... I tried various firmwares from samfirmware.com flashed with odin did factory reset. nothing helped. but the funny thing is once I flashed back to 4.1.2 android device worked perfectly fine, no reboots. I really want to use the new 4.2.2 but it irritates me that it constantly reboots the device. Maybe some of you have encountered the same problems? anyone could help?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Raven_Yen:
Constant reboot does not happen on me but deep sleep.

You might want to flash the firmware again, perhaps a newer one like Switzerland's.

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] lukypuie:
Maybe you should first backup your data, then do a full wipe of /cache /data, dalvik cache (also with the stock recovery)

Try also to format internal memory and your sd if you have any, so try to flash again with odin
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] shooker01:
Could the reboots happen because of my sim card? I've read somewhere that the problem might be caused by the sim card inserted...
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] asigalaxy2:
reboot constantly

which version odin you use?

;)

boot loop maybe - battery issue , kernel issue :rolleyes:

if you flash again:

boot loop maybe - battery issue , kernel issue :rolleyes:

if you flash again:

1) backup your data - sms,contacs,media,apps .....

2) make sure to install latest kies - for the usb driver

3)

remove sim

and charge to 70% at least recommend 100% after that remove charge and dont plug charger until the phone is flashed and work

4) press 3 buttons : left down + home + right until it get down mode

5) kill kies process in the task manger

6) start odin - i recommend

odin 3.07

put it on c:\ with shortcut to desktop

7) plug the phone to pc with usb

8) flash the stock rom you can download from samsung you need to know what version i9105p - with nfc 9105 without nfc

wait until odin give the message at top left pass in green color unplug your phone ,

09) wait 1 minute , remove battery for 2 minutes , insert battery, insert sim again :D

10) press 2 buttons : left up + home - choose Wipe data-Factory reset - you move with the left buttons up down ,choose = home button , reboot

11) wait until boot complete - 2 - 5 minutes

12) you need to see welcome screen

13) if not , the version rom stock or the country may not suite to your phone[/QUOTE]

you may download from site samfirmware stock rom

search your model 9105p or 9105
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] shooker01:
Thats just it. I've flashed the latest version of firmware and took out my sim card. No reboots at all. Inserted it back... reboots are back. Should I getnew sim card? Its such a strange issue...
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] asigalaxy2:

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] DenisRonaldo798:
For me this is the worst 4.2.2 firmware for S2+.....A lot of lag and bugs.....The first german 4.2.2 update is the best for me (best performance and amazing battery life)-That's my personal opinion :)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] shooker01:
Maybe you're right. But still I find this firmware better than old 4.1.2.. and I reccommend it only to those who experience the same rebooting problem as me. Its the only 4.2.2 firmware that doesnt make my galaxy s2 plus reboot by itself so I dont have much of a choice
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] DenisRonaldo798:
It's nice that you're trying to help but for me even 4.1.2 is better than this awful baltic firmware xD

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old Hippie:
For some reason the red notification light turned on and stays on even when the phone is turned off. It only goes off when I remove the battery.

It stays on and is a steady red light, it does not flash red.

I've only seen the notification light flash blue when I have a missed call, text message or email, but I've never seen it turn red before and it stays red all the time.

I know the notification light shows red when the phone is charging and the screen is off, but I turned off that feature a long time ago and that feature is still off.

The red notification light was off when I put the phone on the table, but when I looked at the phone an hour later the red light was on and stays on constantly.

It's the notification light on the left side of the earpiece on the phone. This has nothing to do with the sensor or camera that are on the right side of the earpiece.

In the Sprint manual it is called the Status Light, but it is also called the Notification Light.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

If i take the battery out will the PPC do a hard reset.

And i can send picture messages but cannot receive any, any ideas?

Thank you.
[General Topics] Glaive:
Hi andynumpty!

Check if the backup battery is charged when you remove the battery.

It should be able to provide power to the device for some time when the main battery is removed.

Regarding mms, perhaps you have outgoing settings correctly configured and incoming settings have an error in them?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miskownik:
Hi. For all those who are suffering from "sudden death" of their Nexus 7 1st gen. I have found possible solution, well at least it worked on mine :) So thats the story : my sons nexus run out of battery, switched off and thats where the problems started, when plugged in (wall charger, usb) nothing happened on the screen, no signs of charging. For 1 week I was trying playing with battery cables, HW buttons combinations, different usb cables and chargers, all forums, advices and nothing. Nexus lost his life when battery came to 0%. But today I tried something different. Nexus battery has 6 wires coming out, most important are 2 reds and 2 blacks, I had spare USB cable which i cut and separated both black and red wires. Every cable have more small wires inside of it, so I've made 2 reds ones and 2 black ones from my usb cable and pushed them into battery slot (be sure to put red to red and black to black). I just wanted to see what will happen when battery will be charged straight from charger. Nothing to loose as Nexus was dead anyway. Then i plugged that usb cable to genuine wall charger, left it for about 10mins and then fitted battery back into nexus. Voila ! Nexus booted straigh away with 6% battery and now is charging like always. Looks like battery needs to be kicked in the ass with some volts to come back to life.

Anyone playing this on a 10.1 2014? Reviews at various sites make it look good. User reviews leave a bit to be desired. That often means those that try to run fast action games on an inferior or older machine and just give it a bad review. Just trying to figure out if I want to give it a try. It has been many years since I had it on a PC. Loved GTA 4.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjkline83:
Early this morning I decided to try to get root and flash a custom rom, either CyanogenMod or Omni. I was able to flash touch recovery and wiped system files and cache. All custom firmwares failed to load. Now when the phone boots up, it goes into OTA activation, activates, does a PRL update, and reboots. Touch recovery repeats the system restore, unattended, and the loop repeats infinitely.

I am looking for a process that will help me cure the reboot loop to let me return to using the stock 4.3, but because of some bugginess I was experiencing, I would prefer a method that rids the knox bootloader and other protections so that I can gain root access and load custom firmwares.

I found a similar thread for a different model number, but I'm sure I'll need specific instructions for this model. Any help is greatly appreciated, as I'd rather not have to figure out a way to destroy the phone to get an insurance replacement. I'm also 23 days away from my upgrade date.

I am offering a $50 bounty for now, and when I upgrade, if possible to retain my phone while getting the upgrade price, you can have the note 2 that you helped fix.

Should I be worried about the preload error?

Edit: rebooted but currently in a reboot loop without the startup sound. I'm going to let this go for about 10 minutes before I try to wipe and re-sideload? Before TouchWin rebooted it asked me if I wanted to install SU-SuperUser for root. Should I not install the root at this time?

Edit 2 THANK YOU!

I could not get this to flash via ODIN. The stock recovery kept loading instead :(

Decided to just try and move down the list.

Phone is now out of reboot loop once I cleared the data and cache. Text messages immediately came in after OTA activation and PRL update. I am now running stock rooted 4.1.2 without KNOX.

Might wait on that for a minute. So thankful to at least have a working device again. Thanks for your help. Would you like the bounty? Please PM me a paypal address or your preferred methods.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] djmisi99:
Hey guys,

I am very familiar with custom roms and your kernels, from always using them on my SGS2 i777 (AT&T), but i just bought an SGS4 i337 AT&T, on MK2 baseband, and everybody suggested I should install the SHOstock v3.0 for the i337 (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2305752).

Problem is, I am sooooo confused now, because there is jeboo kernels: (Jeboo_Kernel_i337_v3_0a-i.zip, Jeboo_Kernel_i337_v3_0a.zip, Jeboo_Kernel_i337_v3_0.zip, Jeboo_Kernel_i337_v2_2.zip)

...than there's your RECOVERY: Jeboo_Recovery_v2_1.zip

so Im very confused now how I should go about installing our most awesome DEV shoman94's SHOstock v3.0) ROM...==> THAT I DUNNO WHAT SHOULD I DO ANYMORE.....

1. Because, on the thread there (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2305752), in POST#1 it says , in the Instructions, that :We must be running a custom recovery using Jeboo's Recovery from Post#4 which is your Jeboo_Recovery_v2_1.zip

2. But how should I run the Jeboo_Recovery_v2_1.zip RECOVERY, if Im on SafeStrap 3.71 (which is a recovery also)???

3. If i flash Jeboo_Recovery_v2_1.zip, wont that brick (or softbrick) the S4?

4. Or if I flash Jeboo_Recovery_v2_1.zip, will I end up having 2 recoveries? Or will I only end up with having only the Jeboo_Recovery_v2_1 ???

5. In POST#3, it says that:

IF YOUR PHONE HAS MF3/MK2 BOOTLOADERS, YOU MUST RUN THE MF3/MK2 STOCK KERNEL. DO NOT TRY INSTALLING ANYTHING BELOW UNLESS YOU HAVE MDB/MDL BOOTLOADERS THAT SUPPORT LOKI!!

So, should I NOT flash your Jeboo_Kernel_i337_v2_2.zip , since I am on MK2 stock kernel/baseband/bootloader....?

Check it out: http://i.imgur.com/cNWijKF.png

7. I mean, what is BELOW MF3/MK2 and ABOVE MDB/MDL? Because it also says, that: All binaries posted here will be loki'd (as signified by the .lok extension).

SO, keeping in mind that Im on Stock MK2 , but also Im ROOTED via SAFEROOT.zip (as you can see in the pic above: (http://i.imgur.com/cNWijKF.png) , can someone please tell me if I should flash this SHOstock v3.0, and more speciafically, WHICH, IF ANY of you jeboo kernels and Jeboo Recovery should I use?

Can I bug any of you to tell me the exact steps on how to get this SHOstock 3.0 on my i337, if I'm on MK2, rooted, and safestrap-ed?

ANy help would be much appreciated

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] karate104:
As another user who came from the i777 forums, the biggest thing that wasn't explicitly stated anywhere that tripped me up was that recovery and kernel are NOT linked. That is, you can flash a custom recovery, e.g. Safestrap (which you seem to have already done) without changing the kernel at all. That allows you to flash custom ROMs via the custom recovery, but limits you to ONLY ROMs that can use the stock kernel (they're usually labeled for Safestrap).

As far as being on MK2, an MK2 bootloader cannot be modified with the Loki exploit, therefore you cannot change the stock kernel and thus your phone will remain locked. Thus, Safestrap is your only option. Devs are working on it, but progress has been pretty slow and SS works well in the meantime. It just kinda bites not having the freedom we used to have, but I can't really complain too much.

Just thought I'd share some useful info :good:

Apologize in advance for the noob struggle but I searched the forums for this and found nothing.

I am a new owner of a Tablet Z, love it but want to make Chrome behave like a desktop browser by default. Have found many places to describe how to do this but they all rely on ADB. ADB relies on USB debugging being turned on. All directions call for going to "Settings->Developer Options" and turnign on USB debugging. However on my Xperia Tablet Z (SW version is Android 4.3 build 10.4.1.B.0.109 if that helps) there is NO "Developer Options" anywhere in the Settings list. I have patiently gone through every option on the device and it plain does not exist. Do I need to boot in some special mode to see it?
