Hi,

After flashing stock rom I've got this issue on THL W200

Phone is perfectly working now but screen in black (on but black).

This also the situation in the recovery.

Anyone knows the solution ?
[General Topics] linux5:
did you try soft and hard reset? yes?

did you use titanium backup ?

did you try to upgrade your phone to other ROM ?
[General Topics] rafi532:
I tried to do factory reset, as you understand I have to nevigate in the dark in recovery, but I did it (I guess you mean that by saying soft and hard reset).

I'd like to have suggetions for ROMs that I'll be able to flash via flash tool - because it's impossible by the recovery.

It's a new phone so I even didn't get to install titanium, but I have backup file that I made in the first action.

I can't use it becaue the recovery black screen issue.

Hi!

I want to follow this guide but if I do so, this will wipe out the EFS folder and his content so meaning no more IMEI, no more reception and I can say bye bye to my phone. I already have a backup of my EFS folder but if I decide to format my phone using the procedure below, will I be able to recover my phone simply by copying the copy of my EFS folder from the SD-CARD to the root of the phone or will I have to follow the thread marked with EFS?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aly19:
Hello,

I recently flashed the odin file for the N900W8 (Canadian) Galaxy Note 3 to get Android 4.4 Kit Kat. The Canadian version of the phone I am using has an unlocked bootloader. I decided I want to downgrade and go back to 4.3 but whenever I try to flash the odin file for 4.3 I get this error:

<ID:0/007> NAND Write Start!!

It also says in download mode: Write Protection: Enable

Reactivation lock is also off.

I was just wondering if anyone else encountered this and found a way to downgrade successfully?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
I think because you updated directly to NB7 from 4.3, you're now stuck with the NB7 bootloader and can't downgrade to NA2 which makes you go back to 4.3. I suspect that if you had updated to 4.4.2 NA2 first then NB7, you probably will retain the NA2 bootloader which facilitates going back to 4.3. I could be wrong though.

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

It's also possible that Samsung patched the NB7 release to prevent N900W8 from downgrading to 4.3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aly19:
I suspect that is the case, thank you for your help though.

I was hoping since the Canadian version has an unlocked bootloader that the version could be downgraded at any time.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
I can go back to 4.3 because I'm still on NA2 bootloader but it's also possible that Samsung patched NB7 and that if I odin that on my phone it will be stuck on NB7 as well.

Let me start off with I'm an idiot. Now that that's over with let me explain what I did to end up here and what I've tried to do to fix it, to no avail of course.

I was running Android 4.3 rooted with cf-autoroot. My software was messing up and with the news that kitkat was available I wanted to unroot and upgrade.

Using a guide I found online I flashed a version of 4.2.2 android. the file name was I337MVLUAMDJ_I337MOYAAMDJ_RWC.zip

Of course when it finished I had the no sound, no wifi problem because i reverted back to the wrong android system.

I then using twrp flashed VANIR and got wifi but still no sound/calls.

As per other threads I tried flashing I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_BTU with ODIN but every time i would get the error:

<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.

The only somewhat success I had was i was able to flash RWC-I337MVLUEMK6-20131125124040 using ODIN 1.85 which is a 4.3 version but still no wifi/sound/calls.

Other files i have tried to flash are GSM_Modem_XXUFNA5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUFNA5(under phone), I9505XXUDMH8-PRE-ROOTED-KNOX_FREE-ODEX-FULL and even tried a pit file: CSB_signed_Fusion3_EUR_0325_V2.pit

Everytime i get Complete(Write) operation failed.

I've put CWM on but still no luck. I need suggestions or a fix please and thank you.

[General Questions and Answers] treffer:
Hi,

I've never been active on xda, but I've recently started my own ROM.

I've uploaded all the code to github. I'm currently building the ROM again (to verify the upload) and put a binary on my root server....

Everything is fine so far. Except that it's impossible to write about it on xda. (Or on goo.im, but I don't expect too much interrest, I'll just put it on my root server).

So... Is there a more newcomer friendly forum where I could discuss a new ROM? And post links to github or deeplink to a update.zip file? Or should I just post 9x "Awesome ROM!" to get a good enough karma?
[General Questions and Answers] sltrv:
Hello,

I successfully installed cyanogenmod 7.2 on my Motorola Defy MB525 using the instructions from the cyanogenmod wiki "Install CM for jordan" (can't post link yet).

After a while, I wanted to install gapps, so I installed it from Bootmenu. After this, the phone was always booting to boot menu and I didn't know how to make it boot into the system, so I changed the "Boot" option default to something like "Normal", I think.

Now when starting the phone, all I see is the Google logo which stays there indefinitely.

I can still boot to BootMenu and tried a number of times to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and re-install the cyanogenmod7.2 zip, but it still can't get out of the infinite loop.

I found out that a posible solution would be to flash an image with RSD Lite, but it seems kind of tricky and I would rather leave it as a last resort.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] sltrv:
I managed to unbrick my phone eventually.

Tried to use RSD Lite with several images, but it would give an error and then the application would crash and leave my bootloader corrupt. I tried all the schemes I could find including: loading the image from root of C:, disabling UAC, etc., but nothing worked.

Then I tried sbf_flash on Linux with the same image, and it worked like a charm, no errors, and my phone was up and running again.

So for anyone else who may encounter this problem, I warmly recommend using sbf_flash, it is incredibly simple to use.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yay pie:
The non-developer edition is not normally supposed to have its bootloader unlocked. In order to unlock it, you must get an unlock code from Motorola, and Verizon has instructed Motorola not to give out codes for non-dev devices.

However, if you act fast (because who knows how long this will actually be an option) you can buy an unlock code for $40. This basically involves sending your IMEI to someone in China who sends you back a code, which seems a little sketchy. However, the codes coming back are valid and do in fact work, so if you're willing to look the other way on how the codes may have been obtained (for all we know, that database "fell off the back of a truck" so to speak), then go for it.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] andre_xs:
Dear All,

I'm looking for a specific workflow but haven't been lucky so far. It's quite important to me - if I don't find a solution, I would sell the Note 10.1 again...

One big thinkg I'd like to do with the Note is to read scientific PDFs (e.g. Nature, Science,...) and highlight text in them. For a smooth procedure, I would like to have the following functionality:

- Highlight text with the pen (and pen only! Not with the fingers)

- Move, Zoom, etc with fingers (and not with pen)

Both functions should work at the same time without the need to switch anything.

This functionality is present e.g. in S-Note when you choose "Pen only" (I think that's how it is called). Then you can write on the screen only with the pen, while the fingers will zoom etc. No interference between these two functions. However, AFAIK S-Note cannot handle PDFs...

The edited pdf's are in a could (Dropbox) and need to be saved there as well, so that I can open them on my PC and have the highlighting I did on the Note...

I there any PDF viewer/editor which has such a function? I've had a look at quite a few but found nothing...

Doesn't need to be a free app.

Many thanks in advance &

Kind Regards,

Andre

P.S. To make myself even clearer: In all PDF apps I tested so far the workflow is the following: (1) Use fingers to zoom, turn page, etc. (2) To highlight, go to menu, select highlighting pen, then select text. This often goes awkward if you place the balm of your hand too early on the screen because then everything between the hand and the pen is highlighted... Depending on the App, the highlighting mode stays on or it turns itself off after one highlighting procedure. (3) Turn highlighting off, (4) zoom, move page,... (5) turn highlighting on again... This is too tedious. I would like to use it as if you have a physical sheet of paper and a highlighter pen.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] jherring002:
EZ PDF Reader. Hold your pen on the text. it will select it. drag to where you want to highlight, then select highlight.

I haven't seen an app that does specifically what you're asking. I do use EZ Pdf reader pro and think its an awesome program.

H does have the option to select the highlighter then drag the screen. It also has the setting where you select highlighter, drag what you are highlighting, then when you're done, it goes back to the standard way of operating. Also 1 think it has 2 finger dragging / zooming, meaning you could have the persistent highlighter selected and just use 2 fingers to drag and scroll.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] andre_xs:
Ok, with EZ pdf reader it works a little bit like what I'm looking for:

When reading pdf, you can continuously turn the marker on (Highlighter with subscript "c"). By using two fingers, you can scroll on the page.

However:

- You can't change the page. For this, first exit highlighting mode.

- One finger still selects. Thus, when I put my hand on the screen for writing and the pen is still too high, then it will mark everything between the hand and the pen. In addition, it happened to me a few times that when I intended to scroll with two fingers, it just selected all text between the two fingers.

- you can't zoom in highlighting mode.

Thus, unfortunately, EZ reader doesn't work for me.

S-Note can import pdfs, but will convert it to pure image based format (and blows up file size).

Hi Andre! The functionality you describe is exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately I didn't find anything and I have tried a lot of apps! It seems that S-pen users are such a small group that it is not worthy to optimize apps for, at least not well (looking at you EZPDF) :(

I ended up using Adobe Reader, because it is by far the fastest (at scrolling as well as saving annotations). Freehand writing is however quite laggy and it has a rather basic feature set. Don't understand the hype around EZPDF, for me it is very slow and laggy.

Andre,

I've been looking for the same thing. Try Mantano Reader Premium. You can highlight text and associate notes with the highlight. All of these are conveniently displayed in a side panel. These are saved as a separate xml file, which can used as you choose later. The reader has a superb search function that displays results as a linked list. The program also allows cropped page display to maximize screen space, which I find to be great for technical publications.
