[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cirerita:
Thanks, that app is really useful.

I used a custom rom a while ago but then I switched back to stock. I'm using the latest one from Kies (4.1.2, I think to recall). I use Framaroot to root the phone so I can use some apps I like.

Phone still reboots randomly. Maybe I need to clean the cache. Is there an app for doing that while running Android?

Alternatively, is there a kernel/rom that allows me to reboot normally, bypassing the battery loop? The Odin download mode takes too long because I have to flash the stock firmware, and the stock Recovery mode is useless to me because my power button is broken.

IS it possible to access Recovery mode with a broken power button?

thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Sure, but the app I linked allows you to boot to recovery also.

A good custom kernel for a rooted 4.1.2 would be AJK 4.9, the No Swap version I believe. You'd be better off reading the op in the AJK thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cirerita:
Thanks, I'll take a good look at the AJK thread. Is it any better than the Siyah kernel?

Problem is, if the phone reboots randomly, then I'm stuck in the battery loop again and I need to flash the stock firmware yet again to be able to reboot normally and bypass the battery loop. I would need some sort of custom boot which I could access pressing the volume button, and which would allow me to reboot bypassing the battery loop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cirerita:
Just flashed AJK 4.9 and no more random rebootings as of now... Plus, if I reboot manually, it does not get into the dreaded battery loop. So far so good. Thanks a lot for the tip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
AJK's Kernel is based off Siyah.

Hey everyone, I've Soft Bricked my Phone and I need to change the USB Debugging option. Is there a way I can change the option from outside of the options?

Thanks in advance

Seriously, I need an answer to this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Does adb recognize your device? I do not think there is a way to enable it outside of the settings in developer options..

What is it that you did?

Worst comes to worse just flash MC3 Odin if tie unlocked then re unlock.. or if you took the MJ9 OTA then flash that via Odin and re root;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] D3xter7:
How did I brick my phone? I tried to install a custom ROM not realizing that it was locked, and I guess I had USB Debugging off. I had 4.3 Jelly bean installed on my phone. I cannot flash anything via odin because USB Debugging is not enabled or disable (or whatever it needs to be to work).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Um not sure what to tell you man.. Odin doesn't recognize it at all?

You might want to Google mobile tech videos..

The owners name is Josh he does GREAT work and guarantees it too;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] D3xter7:
I might contradicting myself but my phone does pop up in odin when it is in download mode, what happens is the ID: COM box doesn't turn yellow, and it fails midway through when I follow droidstyle's sticky post at the top of this sub.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
I believe it pops up different colors with different Odin versions..could be wrong though.. post your Odin log here. Where about does it fail..and take me through your steps..

Have Odin back to stock before on the same pc?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
See that is the problem.. Do not combine the two :thumbup:

Are you on the MJ9 OTA? You said you were right? There for that is why it is failing at sboot.bin BC your attempting to flash VRAL Firmware with a 4.1.2 bootloader.

Usually when you flash with odin you do not split firmwares up in different slots..

So essentially you are just flashing VRAL which your phone will fail BC you can not go back to a 4.1.2 bootloader:(

So you need to (if you did take MJ9 ota) put the mj9 firmware in the PDA slot and the pit file in pit slot and then flash away;)

Should go through with no issues. Post back with the results:thumbup:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalasboy:
Hey guys ! I'm currently running CyanogenMod 11 on my SIII. And I heard about Revolutionary S5 which seems to be a great ROM and decided to try it out ! I did install it. Everything went fine until I saw the No sim card. It pissed me off. I tried to make a backup EFS from my CM11 rom and restore it to the new rom but don't work.. :crying: So I was wondering if I did something wrong and if some of you guys could help me ? :confused:

Edit : I saw the mispell on my title. I don't know how to correct it.. ._.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Do a full wipe and flash latest stock rom, no sim card error is very different to no service error. Make sure you know the difference before you mess with your efs folder.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshatt:
Hi,

Here on my android 4.0.4 phone, each and every app that need my gmail account to login Gtalk, will unexpectedly quit when I push "login" button. There is a popup alert, if translated to english: "Sorry, 'android system' stopped working." Then if I push "OK" button, the app quits.

Is there any error code or error log that's hidden in android system? I've been googling a lot about this Gtalk issue, still no luck, need more specific search keywords.

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
All your apps are up-to-date? Because GTalk is dead for several months :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshatt:
Thanks for your response. I know, but there is this "Voice+ (Google Voice callback) " app, I guess it will probably keep working, 'coz it uses gv's callback policy,instead. But now I'm not sure - I can not explain why it quits like other Gtalk apps do.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
Do you already have cleared app data? I suppose you'll have to upgrade, sooner or later...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshatt:
Yes, sir.

You mean flash ROM? There's no ROM for my phone model out there yet. I'm learning knowledge of CM, but probably there's no CM version for my device, either.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] DreamingDude:
Hey guys,

So I got a quite annoying problem and I already spent quite some time searching the forums and google without results. Either the solutioins didn't work or the cases I found were unsolved.

Anyway, here is the story.

I have a xperia tipo (st21i) and I rooted it and unlocked the bootloader and flashed several kernels and roms to find the one I'm most comfortable with.

I used: CM 10.0, paranoid android, super jelly bean and performa v4 in case this is of any interest.

I decided to go with cm 10.0 and it worked fine until after one reboot suddenly my SIM card was unrecognized and it said I should restart the phone with a valid SIM card. I flashed different ROM's and went back to stock now but the problem persists. I really ran out of ideas and since I'm not really skilled and rich of knowledge beyond the point of flashing and the rough structure of android I'm a bit helpless here.

Any help is really appreciated and thanks in advance :)

P.S.: first post ;)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] AnshSingh:
I don't know if it would work but you can try it

Try flashing ics ftf it should work fine..
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] slogger001:
follow this may work

first flash the original .ftf file then flash cm10 :p:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] :
This happened to me aswell, but it was a while ago, when I wasn't even rooted yet. Went to the shop to ask about it from them and they said SIMs can go outdated or something.. They gave me a new one and it was fixed. But if you decide to ask them about this, make sure you are on stock ROM and locked bootloader, also unrooted. Because if not, your device isn't under warranty, and they can blame it on that
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] DreamingDude:
So you are saying it's due to my SIM? It still works perfectly fine in my other phone (a samsung galaxy xcover s5690). The phone was used when I got it and I don't have any receipt or anything so I don't have warranty on my phone anyway right? Should I still visit a shop?

I also tried ICS and it didn't work either. I got the ftf file from that link : http://xdaforums.com/xperia-j-e/development/rom-official-st21a-america-firmwares-t2302630

I tried flashing different kernels and roms already even after it refused to take my SIM but nothing helped. It didn't fell down or anything so I don't think anything went loose inside. Could it still be due to hardware failure?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] ab4ever:
heeey

I got almost the same problem

few weeks ago i found this thread http://xdaforums.com/xperia-j-e/development/sony-xperia-tipo-dual-t2594389

about making custom roms works tipo dual by making it 1 sim not 2 well its ok with me so i used it and all was perfect

custom rom - working gsm - fast - smooth like i dont need anything else

but yesterday well my annoying gf was spamming calls while i was sleeping so i turned airplane mode On

then after i wake up i turned it off and suddenly the device can't recognize the sim any more the same problem this dude got

so i tried everything like tryin to swap the sim place - installing new rom - restore my old stock rom - hard reset - testing the sim - so i tried installing the last update stock ftf which is 11.0.A.6.5 i think it's like this using flash tools anyway it worked and the problem is solved now the phone is workin with no problems u should try it
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] :
I tried other phones aswell, it was working on them, but not on my phone. Weird, but yeah, I suggest you go visit them at the shop, they can probably help you out.

hey guys whats up got me an lgog e970, been trying out different roms, liked the beanstalk 4.4, decided to do the pristine thing and format everything and reinstall from sd card. well, something happened and now just sticks on beanstalk animation screen. Wipe and try slimkat, sticks on slim animation. tried several different roms, same thing. so i download the stock firmware flashable zip and flash it, boots up cool and makes it to the att welcome screen, then freezes and goes to a demigod kernal crash screen. Ive tried flashing a couple different kernals with the stock rom and several others. same thing, stock rom has a kernal crash and any others just hang at splash. what have i got myself into? Am i gonna have to lgnspt or something?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mikeylikey:
If it freezes at the att logo, you just need to factory reset. Power the phone completely off. Then press vol down + pwr button. Should then see the option to factory reset.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jerimynal wiley:
the stock rom boots past that to the get started welcome screen, then has a kernal crash and the demigod crash handler comes up with some options to go to fastboot, dload, or reboot. I cant get it to do the factory reset thing, ive tried over and over if i keep holding the v- and power, then the google screen with the unlocked lock comes up for a second, then it goes off and nothing. if i let off either or both it tries to boot normally. I can still get into cwm and have tried formatting and wiping everything. Im in the process of getting the bin file to lgnp or whatever it is

Short of actually installing Replicant on my Galaxy Nexus (which is still an option), is there a way to flash a kernel/ROM or whatever to close the much-publicised back door on Samsung Galaxy devices, which notably includes the Galaxy Nexus? Is there a custom ROM/kernel out there that implements the Replicant fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
Yes . replicant projects github has the commits , but you'd have to build your ROM and kernel . not sure how familiar with that you are but if you do , I can find the commits , there's only a couple . I was planning on updating my kernel to include the fixes , so I still have the URLs somewhere lol

[Android Stick & Console Computers General] n023b:
I currently have a Pi and I cant waiting 30 secs for menus to load up anymore (I already have it OC'd running off of a USB) and I was looking at youtube videos of boxes like the geniatech atv520e and it seems much faster. What are the most popular boxes on here?

Do people run android or linux? I would prefer linux since I've heard its much more stable and you can watch 1080p video. I am willing to spend up too $100 but the cheaper the better.

Im only buying it to use add ons like 1channel and icefilms not for streaming videos to the box using a NAS
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] leezrd:
I use the mk808 with no problem for that.. Heck I'm using 1channel(primewire) right now as I type this. But I think they like 30$ now.. But if looking to spend up to $100 I did get tronsmart 908 (I think name is tronsmart or something like that)
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] GeekEric:
Under $100,you have lots of options.search on geekbuying, and use the beyond xbmc version.

It should be Tronsmart MK908, lol, i get the tronsmart mk908ii, better wifi signal.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] n023b:
Which brand are you using for the mk808 tronsmart?

Thats the problem there are too many options I rather just buy one somebody recommends
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] DaPhinc:
If you want to buy one for around 100$ there is a big problem right now. Most companys switched from the RK3188 SoC to the RK3188T. So in this price segment, you will probably only get a RK3188T SoC. The RK3188T is a cheap version of the RK3188 that brings some problems especially with custom ROMs and kernels. The only "real" RK3188 box (non T) i know of is the Minix Neo X7 but this one is about 140$. The other option is a MK808 with a dual core RK3066 SoC for about 40$, this is an older device with weaker hardware, you might have problems playing high bitrate HD videos with it.

You chose a rather bad time to buy a TV Stick/Box :). If you don't want to spend 140$ for the X7, i would wait for 2-3 month and see if it gets better.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] leezrd:
Im not sure the exact maker the packaging only aid mk808. I got it over a year and some months ago. It not a clone though because I'm always flashing roms and kernels with never any problem

We all know that if you root your device and flash a ROM, you get a couple of root access apps thrown in for "good measure".......

But which root access apps do you install post flash that aren't strictly speaking necessary, but which you find useful?.....

For me, it's......

Goo Manager.....gotta keep that phone up to date....

HC-kTool.......EFS needs to be backed up....

MD5 Checker...... Gotta make sure that ROM you're about to flash is OK....

Power Menu app.....gets you to recovery or download mode without mashing buttons......

Root Explorer.....prefer it to CM's file manager......

SD Maid.....getting rid of the junk...

SMS Backup and Restore.....need to stop the wife becoming suspicious when all my text messages disappear..... lol....

Terminal Emulator....who needs ADB or a PC lol....

Titanium Backup......the single most useful app to have on a rooted phone.....

ViPER4Android......the best sound enhancement app.....period....

Wakelock Detector.....see what nasties are stopping my phone from deep sleeping......

XDA App......OBVIOUSLY....lol
