[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emufossum13:
Hello,

I recently tried to root my AT&T Galaxy S4 and install cyanogean mod on it. I screwed something up along the way but I'm not sure what. I tried rooting my phone with Kingo Root Tool, which it said I was successfully rooted. I made the mistake of then accepting an OTA, and of course that soft bricked my phone. I am able to get the phone out of soft brick mode by taking the battery out and putting back in, then entering download mode, and cancelling out. That fixes it every time. As I'm on android 4.2.2, and I understand that I need 4.4.2 for CM11, I thought that I would un-root using the tool, and then try the update again. I un-rooted, it said that it was successful at this. I then tried to install the OTA again, unfortunately it softbricked my phone again. I reset it back to normal, then I figured my best option would be to try and do a factory reset. When I tried the reset, it once again soft bricked my phone. I've reset it back to normal, and everything is working fine, however I'm a little confused as to what's going on. My amateur assumption is that by rooting, it tripped some file rooted deep inside the phone, and now it knows that I tried rooting, therefore it'll block me from updates. If someone could help me this, and possibly help me try and fix it I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I was attempting to flash a clean copy of SkyNote Air with the 3.5 update and came across a problem when wiping the internal storage using TWRP. I've noticed this error previously when wiping the cache to install an update, but everything worked fine. When attempting to wipe the internal storage, I received a failed message. I went ahead and flashed the ROM and update, but I am now encountering a Play Store error (-24) when trying to download apps that were previously on my phone. I've researched this error and have been able to delete the previous data files using a root browser. However, I am unable to erase the folder that was causing the error (turns out that it was Battery Doctor) by using the root browser. The app attempts to erase the folder, but never does. So now I am stuck with no way to wipe the internal storage to get a clean flash of this ROM.:confused: I'm pretty sure this problem is not associated with the SkyNote ROM, so I wanted to see if I could get help here first. Thanks in advance! I have attached a picture of the error messages I was getting in TWRP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
What version of TWRP ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mjt010:
v2.6.3.1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Is battery doctor still running? Just a guess, maybe go to application manager and do a force stop on it.

Then try and delete it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mjt010:
Thanks for the suggestion. I am unable to install it on this new flash. The folder that I was trying to delete is left over from the previous ROM. There is nothing in the folder, but I still cannot delete it and it continues to give me that same error message.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
So the folder is under /data/app or /system/app ? Or ????
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mjt010:
When going through root browser, it is data/data/com.ijinshan,kbatterydoctor_en. I have cleared out all of the folders I could, but there is one folder that remains titled shared_prefs with an unnamed folder inside with no contents. That is the only thing still associated with that app but something is causing that error in recovery and preventing the full wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Maybe try Philz recovery. You can copy to external card. Flash, reboot to recovery from TWRP.

Worth a shot....

Been a long day, can only think of easy sh*t to try.

I had something like that happen on my T889. I was running 2.7.0.0 and something got corrupted between a 4.1 rom and 4.3 with a backup and restore thrown in.

I ended up wiping my phone a couple times and odin flashing the last 4.1.2 rom (I still have the non-Knox bootloader).

Nothing worked. I ended up flashing the very first release firmware via Odin 2x times. I believe that it reset the partitions. I was then able to flash twrp 2.7.0.0 and then Jedi Master X to an intact file system.

Ir was kinda hairy for about 2 hrs though. Started a minor modified freak out for a minute...

flashed my wizard and everything looks good! i set up my Media Net (cingular) and i noticed that i no longer get an EDGE connection. on my stock rom it would show an E for EDGE but now its showing a G for regular GPRS..is this something in the ROM? as far as i know i set the connection settings exactly as they were before.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mengesb:
Edge/GPRS are network availability dependent. I've sometimes had to soft reset my phone for it to show up - but nothing needs to be setup. Just be patient, try a soft reset maybe.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] chon79:
still nothing...the funny thing is it used to show in on the stock ROM..another thing i noticed is i cant find the proxy option under connection settings...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] gamescan:
It is possible that your current ROM doesn't have the option set to show the alternate EDGE icon. It's a registry setting that determines if the icon shows. Even if the icon is disabled the device will still connect via EDGE if it can.

You can use the Registry Wizard program to enable the EDGE icon (along with many other reg hacks), edit the registry yourself or run one of the many CAB files that makes the change for you.

As for the proxy settings, the default My ISP connection does not have a proxy setting. If you create another connection, it can have a proxy.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] chon79:
thanks man that helps alot..but do you know by any chance where i could find the EDGE setting in the registry?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] gamescan:
Not offhand. I know it's been posted before so you can try a search, otherwise just use Registry Wizard. It's probably the easiest option. :)

yes posttwobandit striks again awesome
[HTC One S] krige:
Thanks a lot! This guide is very useful.

I got stuck when trying to install the Flash Stock Recovery. I currently have a TWRP v2.4.1.0. When I flash the zip file of the stock rom you provided I got the following error messages (see also the attached screenshot):

E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'
E:Unable to recreate android secure folder.
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'
Updating partition details...
E:Unable to mount storage.
E:Unable to mount /sdcard during GUI startup.

E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/StockRecovery.zip'
Updating partition details...
E:Unable to mount '/sdcard'
E:Unable to mount storage.

Any idea on how I could fix this?
[HTC One S] Flashalot:
looks like your SD is corrupted if so you will have to wipe it
[HTC One S] dd98:
If your on HBOOT 2.16, use the TWRP use the recovery that came with Maximus or this recovery. For HBOOT 2.15, use the latest TWRP on their page
[HTC One S] krige:
I am on HBOOT 2.15 with TWRP 2.4.1.0. Following your suggestion I downloaded "twrp-2.7.0.8-ville.img" from here and flashed it using fastboot.

Once in TWRP 2.7.0.8 I was able to successfully flash cm-11-20140609-SNAPSHOT-M7-ville.zip and gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip but once I boot the phone I get into a screen with thin blue lines and some blinking cyan lines (I believe that's CM logo corrupted animation). See the attached screenshot.

Trying to wipe the cache and dalvik cache and flashing again didn't fix it.

Any other suggestion?
[HTC One S] dd98:
Yeah that happened to me before, not sure why but I dont know how to fix it, maybe someone else does
[HTC One S] krige:
Furthermore, my computer doesn't seem to recognize the phone with the new TWRP: when I plug it to it a message dialog says the drivers where not successfully installed. I tried installing HTCDriver_4.2.0.001.exe and HTC_BMP_USB_Driver_x64_1.0.5375.msi from here and even the full HTC Sync Manager from the HTC web site but none of them solved the problem. I've run out of ideas...
[HTC One S] krige:
Same results with CWM 6.0.4 and TWRP 2.7.1.0a, no drivers found and thin blue lines after flashing CM.

I have extracted the img file from the zip of the stock kernel linked in the first post and flashed it through fastboot. Then I followed the instructions to install the stock ROM in the first post, using the RUU RUU_Ville_U_TIM_IT_1.78.901.6_Radio_0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_261961 , but the procedure never ended. I left it running the whole night but when I checked it in the morning the application was still running and the phone was displaying the HTC logo (see the attached screenshots).
[HTC One S] krige:
I have just noticed my phone is S-ON (see the attached screenshot).

As the instructions in the first post suggest to "Get The RUU That matches your carrier If you are S-Off/SuperCID", what should we do if we are S-ON? Should we get to S-Off first?

Here is the fastboot getvar all output:

[HTC One S] krige:
Summing up these are the current problems I am having:

- Windows does not recognize the phone when it is plugged to it in recovery mode because it can't find the drivers (the phone is recognized under Linux though)

- the phone is S-ON: I am not sure which procedure I should follow as all the guides I find around are for S-Off versions, I don't know whether I should first get into S-Off first (if that is even possible)

- I don't know how to choose the right RUU for my phone. I gathered I should choose the RUU according to my CID, that is VODAP102 but none of the files in the Android RUU page mentioned in the first post seems to match it.

- There seems to be no RUU for VODAP102 only a Nandroid Backup. I managed to copy it on the phone from a computer with Linux, in the sdcard directory, but I don't know how exactly I am supposed to install it. On CWM there is a "backup and restore" entry: when I choose "restore from /storage/sdcard0" it tells me "No files found" (see the attached screenshot). Am I supposed to extract the content of the zip file?

- I don't know whether the phone should be locked or unlocked while running the RUU nor whether that really matters.
[HTC One S] dd98:
if you can, go s-off and change your CID to HTC__001 (EU CID). Assuming your vodafone in europe, you should have no problems with mobile networks, if your not in EU then don't do this
[HTC One S] krige:
I have tried obtaining the supercid following this guide but I got stopped at step 3 because of the following error:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p4
dd: can't open '/sdcard/mmcblk0p4': No such file or directory

I tried with sdcard0 and sdcard1 but nothing changed.

cat /etc/fstab

/dev/block/mmcblk0p34 /cache ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p35 /data ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p33 /system ext4 rw

I tried mounting the sdcard from the recovery (CWM 6.0.4.8) but I got another error:

error mounting /stoarge/sdcard0

Here is the output of dmesg.

I have been told there is 99% chance the flash is burned because of the following two lines:

<6>[ 5.190538] mmc0: new high speed DDR MMC card at address 0001
<6>[ 5.196337] mmcblk0: mmc0:0001 MAG2GA 14.5 GiB

That's because the HTC One S apparently uses a Samsung flash, model MAG2GA, which has a known bug similar to the S3 one.

Do you concur? Should I trash the phone?

Any insight would be highly appreciated.

[HTC One S] Flashalot:
No you should be good if you get a error it maybe from your cid all you would have to do is just change it to the ruu your running
[HTC One S] Jeeza:

.zip vs .exe

Hello.

So I managed to soft-brick my HTC One S by wiping the system after failing to install a custom ROM, and now I'm just trying to get back to a stock build. I'm sort of confused currently, because I am able to find a .zip file for my Radio and Carrier (1.11.50..05.28 and Virgin, which is a subsidy of Bell), but I am unable to find an .exe with both a matching radio and carrier. The only match for radio is for HTC__Europe, and all the BM___ do not match my radio. My phone is not S-Off and I have no idea if S-Off is even a possible option at this point. My Hboot data is:

VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.15.0000

RADIO-1.11.50.01.28

OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815

eMMC-boot

My CID is BM__001

Any ideas on what I should do? I am a noob when it comes to programming, so a little bit of a guild would go a long way for me.
[HTC One S] kdd998:
It appears that the most recent RUU for your CID is for version 2.40.666.1 which is Android 4.0:

RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_BM_2.40.666.1_Radio_1.09ts.50.02.04_10.08g.50.04L_release_280275_signed.exe

You can find it here: http://androidruu.com/?developer=Ville

Then you'll have to apply the updates proposed by the OS.

My piece of advice: change your CID to something like Europe version (HTC__001). Then you'll be able to apply a more recent RUU and have latest official update (heartbleed fix). For the CIDs list: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2139447
[HTC One S] Blahax:
Thanks!

Thank you for that. I will have to check it out later, as Im about to enter a test. Anyway, do you know what version they fixed heartbleed on? I dont use my phone for any online banking, so thankfully I dont really have to deal with it. Still, I would like to update at some point to stop anything from happening in the future.
[HTC One S] Blahax:
Apparently...

Well that didnt work, unfortunately. Came back with "Error 151", which I am guessing is because the RUU doesn't match my radio. Does this mean I will have to figure out how to S-off it? I know I put SuperCID on before it when soft-brick, but I am unsure if it will work anymore, since there is no longer a full OS on it.

Coworker of mine brought me her AT&T "worldphone" SPH-I897 (eclair 2.1.1). she claims that a family member changed the lock code on the phone and no longer remembers it, and i cant factory reset the phone because she used the phone to take photos of her now deceased mother. she doesn't care if i have to brick this phone in the process, but its critically important that she get those photos...

there is no google account associated with the phone, so unlocking it via gmail auth isnt an option, and the phone was never put into debugging mode, so adb is only accessible from recovery mode. I've also attempted a hack someplace else on XDAdev which involved modifying and removing files in /data/data/, but this path was inaccessible in recovery mode.

I'm hoping someone can give me some guidance on what i can try next. I've read that custom recoveries can be flashed to the phone without root through ODIN, then a backup can be initiated, but i haven't been able to find a copy of a custom recovery that i'm certain wont brick this phone. i'm also assuming that the photos are inaccessible from adb when in recovery?

ugh... Help!

I've been all over the place on here for the last few hours. I have TWRP installed with no .zip on the SD card of my phone. I'm able to access fastboot, but attempting 'fastboot flash zip ____.zip' results in an error for me ("FALED (remote: not allowed)"). I've been trying to sideload the .zip, but my computer does not recognize the presence of my phone. I was having some trouble with the HTC drivers on Windows 7 earlier - is that a known issue by any means? Were this any other phone but the HTC One I would have just taken the SD card out by now and put the .zip on there through other means, but I feel so stuck right now all because ADB is not functioning properly.

I have S-ON, and have not been able to find a reliable source for a RUU or firmware for my T-Mobile phone to try and go back to pure stock. And even then, I think, if ADB isn't working, what is there to do?
