Linux i think :) (pesonal opinion)
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] khaledgomgoma:
Me too , I tried both of them and I am now on ubuntu 13.10

And i think it is better in dev and it could run exes files using a program called wine:beer:
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] silvano2:
are you going to dev something or what?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] khaledgomgoma:
I will try
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] lukypuie:
Linux, or OS X
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] beegee:
Linux is used for CM, but also you can run Ubuntu on Windows then compile.

Windows is best for cooking 'stock' roms.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] safariking:
Not only for building cm you can build anything you want on ubuntu. from kernels to roms and even mods
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] beegee:
Yes, that also.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bc320:
I recently got a nexus 10. I put some stuff on it and I am enjoying it. I have run across a few issues. I found that rooting will fix some of the issues.

1) If I root I will loose everything i just put on, not a huge deal, but is there an option to back-up prior to rooting?

2) I found a toolkit that says it has everything for backing-up, rooting, etc. Is this better then the "easy" way on the root options.

3) Other then being able to watch Hulu on a browser, what does rooting get me? Will I end up with a "modded" play store?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

Rooting is quite a personal thing, I like rooting due to more apps, better system management, etc. Now for the questions:

1) Rooting involves unlocking your bootloader, therefore it will completely wipe your device.

2) Usually I recommend learning and doing everything manually, but I think you can try using a toolkit! I can't tell you which is good and which isn't, so remember to read the whole OP. If you want to backup your apps and data make sure they offer "adb backup" support.

3) AFAIK you can root tranquilly, all the apps I used to use still work fine.

I hop between USA and UK and I must in UK use proxy to watch Hulu and when in USA use proxy to watch BBC. To get the proxy to actually work I must root and use proxydroid, it puts the proxy beneath a list of apps like Hulu app and BBC app not just the browser proxy non-root Android offers.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrgnex:
Well XxLordxX already said it..

1. You can back up your apps with Carbon from Clockworkmod from the play store. Then transfer everything you want to keep to your PC.

2. Rooting manually is waaay better and not hard.

3. All apps will work the same but some will have more features/work better. I really like rooting but some people dont for some reason ;)

I have an O2 EXEC running the T-Mobile ROM so that Blackberry Connect will work.

Everything is running fine except the Camera application. When I try to run it, I get an error saying something like the program is not signed and cannot run and I should try to re-install it. I have tried replacing the camera.exe app but, as it is a system file on ROM, it will not let me.

Any ideas?

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Xperia_Play:
So, yesterday my phone kept turning itself off for no apparent reason and then it would start vibrating constantly. I would take the battery out and restart the phone as normal and it would work. Later on, it shut off completely and did the same thing it had done for most of the day so I tried restarting it again like I had been doing. However, this time it would load the loading screen and get no further than it saying the model number before it turned off again and started vibrating. Before this time the phone would at least stay on for 10-15 minutes. I kept trying what I had been doing all day with no luck of it getting any further than the loading screen. If I put the battery in, it would immediately start up and then turn itself off and start vibrating again which it shouldn't do because I'd need to turn the phone on for it to load up. I looked up what the problem might be and people were saying to reboot the phone. I managed to get the recovery screen up for about 3 seconds before it turned off and started vibrating with a black screen again. Now the phone doesn't boot up/turn on at all if the battery is in. However if the battery is out and the phone is plugged into charge, then it would start up with the same problem as earlier. I would like to get to recovery to be able to either hard reset or flash a new rom, however, the phone will not boot into recovery, instead it will just turn it'self off again. The phone is not in usb debugging mode so I am unable to flash the phone via a third party software. Any help would be much appreciated as the phone is currently completely unusable.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Androidoo:
check your power button ,it might be damaged...!!
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Xperia_Play:
No it's definitely not that because I could use it for get into recovery (even though it was for just a second, not long enough to be able to do anything). I have no idea what the problem could be.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] ShadowsDie:
that is the idea, if the power button is blocked you can enter recovery just for a sex then it reboots,

when you put the battery on it turns on?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Xperia_Play:
Yes, it used to turn on straight away when the battery was inserted but this isn't happening now. Probably time for a new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] ShadowsDie:
if it isnt happening now its because you have no more battery left

you can fix it to a service, its not so expensive
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Sepsis12:
I have the same problem right now after a failed flash. So I would suppose it is not a stuck power button... I can't even get to recovery by the way....
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] ShadowsDie:
can you get to download mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Sepsis12:
I could get to download mode (for about 6 seconds)

After a lot of trying I suppose it must be the power button, as you suggested. I even succeded in installing a stock rom (by pressing the power button in the download mode every seconds or two)...

Seems strange though. I suppose pressing the power button to get into the download and recovery mode gets it stuck....

Thanks for your suggestion though. I will bring the smartphone to a store tomorrow and see if they can get it fixed.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuzzywarbles:
I am having an issue that I was hoping someone could assist with. I have rooted devices before, galaxy s3, motorola droid x, and the original droid and have never had any issues.

I had the verizon model I545 galaxy s4 and MJ7 build. I used saferoot to obtain root and safestrap 3.71. I also installed ODIN 3.07. I was able to boot into recovery mode just fine, create a new ROM slot and install RLS14. My wifi would not work until I also used safestrap to install jfltevzw-MJ7-modules. At this point everything worked fine. No issues for 4 days and was loving the ROM. I could use safestrap to reboot to recovery no problem. But then I let it lose power.

Upon plugging it into a charger I found that it would just show the empty battery sign and then reset and show that symbol again. I was unable to get it to boot properly. I used the volume up key and saw the blue text "booting recovery" but then it just power cycled and came back to the empty battery sign again. I tried all combinations I could think of but couldn't get anything to work. I was however able to use the down volume button to get it into odin mode so decided to flash emergency stock recovery.

I then used ODIN to install the stock ROM (SCH-I545_VZW_1_20131023084910_v4vth34m5z_fac.zip) and the install finished correctly but I am still having the same issue. should i re-partition as well? I have the relevant .PIT file.

I verified all checksums on my downloads before using.

Any thoughts? I'm not sure what to do next because I was assuming the factory wipe would work. I can provide any other information.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
You shouldn't be installing a zip with Odin. Just search "mj7 full wipe image". It's a .tar file. Flash that in Odin and it will take you back to stock mj7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuzzywarbles:
Sorry. I should have been more clear. The .zip was the file I downloaded but I unpacked it and used the .tar.md5 file to actually flash in Odin. I used the download from this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2507253

I believe I did it correctly as it succeeds and shows "pass" after the flash but I see no change with my issue: still wont boot into recovery mode. Keeps looping back to an empty battery sign.

In addition I swapped out my battery for a known working battery with full charge and it still performs the same. It's weird that I cannot even get the device to turn on using power button with a full charge battery. The only way to turn on is to connect the usb cable and then it still shows the empty battery sign even though it should be full.

I also tried using Kies to upgrade to the latest firmware and after reset same issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
make sure HD download was good...md5 checksum.....deleted rom slot and start over and choose minimal options. Many get in trouble with choosing too many options. Go minimal and see if that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuzzywarbles:
I did the md5 checks and they matched. After letting the phone sit overnight the recovery menu is now accessible. Tried factory reset/data wipe and cache wipe but same issue. I see recovery has options to update via external sd. Since Odin flashing to stock doesn't seem to work can I put the stock .tar on external sd card and load it from recovery?

The problem is that safestrap won't even boot to allow me to delete the rom slot. It just boot loops back to an empty power sign. I do have access to download mode and stock recover menu. I used download mode and Odin to flash back to stock mj7 build with no change.

Also. The power button issue is strange, it seems weird that I cannot turn it on via power button even though it has 80% charge. It will only power up when connected to USB computer or a charger
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
OK, this is a strange problem. You can get to download mode and the stock recovery, but can't get the base ROM to boot. You were able to flash MJ7 without change. So, was that a full-wipe ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuzzywarbles:
524 23442422

Yes. I linked the thread above I used for the full wipe stock MJ7 I flashed via Odin. Also verified the md5 checksum. Another interesting addition. If I go to download mode and just choose to restart phone it actually attempts to boot (gets to the samsung symbol with the blue circle behind it and plays music and gets past that to the white screen) but will immediately reboot back to the empty battery sign.

The Odin flash succeeds with no errors and I'm also able to use the stock recovery to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache but reboot after that always comes back to the empty battery sign.

If I just let the device sit it will reboot every 15 seconds always returning to empty battery sign unless I force recovery or download mode. It seems like the stock .tar I flashed worked since it is trying to boot into stock but the phone seems to reboot every 15 seconds if I try to let it boot.

I searched the forum pretty heavily and also couldn't find anyone else that had my power button issue. I know the battery has a good charge since I swapped the battery from my wife's s4. Even with this the power button will not turn the phone on. It will only turn on if connected to charger or CPU via USB.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Hmm interesting. Try again using the pit file and Odin 3.09. PDA=AP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuzzywarbles:
I downloaded 3.09 and tried that this morning. Used ap mode with the MJ7 stock recovery tar and used the i545 PIT file with re-partition checked. Maybe I used the wrong pit file but it flashed successfully with no change. Should I try putting the stock .tar on my ext ad card and use recovery to apply it that way?

I'm at a loss here because it seems like everything is working with the flash but it is still boot looping. I will attempt to re flash again with stock recovery tar and pit when I get home.

I read all the stickies before I started and believe I did everything correct. Not sure where I went wrong. Wish I never let the phone lose power but it would gave happened sooner or later.

Surge,

Can I use your pit file from this link? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2578209

Or from what I read it seems that is only for the MK2 build. When I flashed this morning I used the PIT file from this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2290859

My main question is does the PIT file have to match your build and how can I be sure I am using correct PIT file for MJ7 build. Could you link that? I will keep looking in the interim. Possibly I just used the wrong PIT file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AceVille:
You can flash the stock MF3 rom through odin.

I do Not know if it will delete your files though.

But this will work for the MF3 since this is one the only roms you can flash thorugh odin if you're on MF3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuzzywarbles:
Well I am out of ideas. I have tried flashing both MJ7 and MK2 full wipe .tar along with the PIT files countless times and it keeps returning to the same weird prompt with the empty battery sign and rebooting.

I checked my system recovery and it seems like my knox warrenty flag is safe. It is still set at 0x00. It seems like my odin flashing has returned it to stock properly. Would I be able to warranty the device through verizon/samsung since my warranty is safe? If yes, would I just go to verizon or do it through samsung? Sorry but I've never had to warranty a phone before.

Thanks.

Hello everyone,

My at&t galaxy s3 would not turn on at all after I messed around with some apps called "Aparted" and "Swapper 2".. If there is some way this could be fixed I would really appreciate it!

So the story was..

I was reading some forums and their guides on how you can add more RAM and use an ExtSD to an Internal SD.

So I got interested and decided to do the guide to see if it will really boost up my phone. So I downloaded Aparted and Swapper 2. I then I wiped and partition my ExtSD to 3 partitions. 1 formatted to Ext3 for the swapper to use RAM, 1 formatted to ext4 for the Internal memory. And 1 formatted to Fat32 for my computer to read.

I thought it was a good idea since it will boost up my phone.

But then when I stared the swapper 2 to start using the partition for the RAM, everything went smoothly and the app said it was set successfully and asking to reboot. So I did. After the phone turned off to reboot, it usually takes 2 seconds for it to vibrate and start booting but it was completely dead and not responding to the power button. I could not even go to recovery mode or download mode because the buttons do not respond. When I connect it to a charger and the battery removed, it only lights up a red LED and when I try to put back the battery it only goes away. I've tried various things to boot up my phone. From waiting to removing the battery and wait, when putting it on a computer which only reads QHSUSB_DLOAD, downloaded the qualcomm drives which now reads HS-USB diagnostics 9008 and leaving the phone on a charger for a day to no avail. If anyone could try and help without me sending my phone to a JTAG or anything that would make me spend too much money..

Thank you for taking your time reading my post.
