[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henninkn:
Hello,

I need some help with my external SD card, please.

I've Googled this quite a bit and found many with related problems, but no solutions.

From time to time, it's hard to tell what triggers it, I notice I can't write any files to my external SD card.

My guess is the card either becomes write protected, or all apps loose permission to write to the card.

To enable writing again I can unmount and then remount the card from the system menu (don't need to physically pull card).

The last time I tried this I noticed, using ES, the external SD containing lots of files named the sign for «mu» (looks like a u), 0 bytes in size.

I've tried rebooting the phone, pulling the card, and reformatting the card.

I'm on an international, unbranded, stock, unrooted, Android 4.3 Galaxy S3.

My questions are as follows:

1) Does anyone know the cause of this problem and how to solve it?

2) Falling that, is there an app that can automatically unmount and then mount the external SD card, perhaps even as a Tasker plugin?

Thanks for your help! :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Your card is either corrupt or faulty. Download the sd formatting tool and wipe it using your pc, if it happens again then throw it away.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowPluralism:
By the looks of it your card is corrupted.

Fomart to exfat and try again

Hi,

I just received my first smartphone and am really excited about it :) Aaaand ... I'm totally new to Android and the whole rooting & Custom firmware process ;)

I want to root to Backup my TA before unlocking BL and was looking at zxz0O0's guide. There are now quite a few versions of the z1c dual recovery from NUT. I am on Android 4.3. Can I simply use the latest version?

Thanks a lot!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thermalboyz:
latest version is appropriate 2.7.99 (not tried it yet) as I rooted mine before KK came using 2.7.95

I think it's safe to say that version 2.7.97 does not properly work so make sure to not use that version.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdityaDewani:
So I was trying to install AICP on my HTC one and I didn't made a backup of my previous rom (Paranoid Android). I thought that there won't be any problem. So then i wiped dalvik cache and cache partition and also my /sdcard/. And by fault, i also wiped /system. I was using CWM before and then i tried to sideload the rom files and Gapps using adb sideload but it failed. I even tried to flash Cyanogenmod-10 and the previous ParanoidAndroid rom files but it kept aborting the installation. I also pushed(adb push) the files into /sdcard dir and tried to flash them but it failed too. So then, i thought to replace the recovery and flashed TWRP 2.6.3.3. And then the same thing happens. INSTALLATION FAILS!

Please HELP me guys.

Thanks, And my sister has another HTC One. The same model. But she won't allow me to root her phone. So if there is any way to copy her One's rom without rooting or flashing AfterMarket recovery. Please tell me..

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bFree68:
I am stuck in an installation loop that started while updating to KitKat.

I was happy with my LG G2 (T-mobile, D801G), but wanted to use root apps. So, I rooted and installed TWRP, but did not flash a custom rom.

Tuesday when I woke up there was a message saying I could download KitKat. After installing my last system update I lost root, so just had to unroot and re-root – took me about 15 minutes. So, I decided to go ahead and install KitKat.

It downloaded and began to install, but got stuck in a loop. The LG logo flashes for 5 seconds, the little droid pops up with his stomach spinning and the message “Installing system updates” but shows for only about ½-second. Then the screen goes black for 2 seconds and it starts again.

I can get it into the factory reset screen, but when I say yes-yes, it puts up the message :

Error: Boot certification verify

341120

341170

341220	Secure booting error!

341270	Cause: boot certification verify

341320

341370

(the nunbers are different each time, but always 6 numbers in increments of 50)

Then it sits in a black, but not quite off screen until I hold down the power button to turn it off. When I turn it back on, it shows the logo, then the droid showing the message ‘Erasing…’ for a full second, then switches to the ½-second ‘installing system updates’ loop.

It will go into download mode. When I connect it to the LG flash tool ‘Up Test’ it says all firmware is up-to-date.

I tried this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 but I couldn’t get Ubuntu 12.04 to install gdisk. Then I noticed that

ls /dev/sd*

returned the same values whether my phone was plugged in in download mode or unplugged completely. The values were

/dev/sda, /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, /dev/sda3, /dev/sda4.

I tried the next step anyway

gdisk -l /dev/sdb

and got the error saying gdisk was not found, but I could install it with… etc. I tried to install it, but it wouldn’t work.

This is the second phone I’ve rooted – I had my HTC Sensation rooted for years, and flashed many ROMs. I hadn’t played much with the G2 because I liked it just the way it was – but had to have some rooted apps. I also have an HP Touchpad running Cyanogenmod. My experience with Linux is limited. So I’m just one step up from a noob.

Any advice would be appreciated! I bought a go phone so that I can take my time and fix my G2 right. :-/
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Wuxz:
I'm having lots of problems while calling, I can hear the person on the other side of the line perfectly while they can't hear anything I say (I sound very far away from the phone). This makes it impossible to have a normal conversation with anyone.

I understood flashing a new Radio could solve this problem, now my question is:

Where do I find these radio's and which one should I flash (Xperia V 4.3, The Netherlands)?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Wuxz:
Andddddddddd Bash.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] coolvicky4u:
It might be a problem of mic. I had this problem before and the service center had replaced the mic. They said it was water damaged.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Wuxz:
Can't be the problem, recording of sound is fine (Whatsapp record, video etc.)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dyfk3l:
Then it's software-related and not a hardware/radio issue.

Did this problem come with 4.3 or did it exist on 4.1, too? What about other ROMs like CM - are you able to test?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Wuxz:
Exactly what I thought, but I just moved from 4.3 stock, to 4.3 Lovins. And I can't recall if it happened on 4.4 CM..

That's why I was kinda hoping I could just flash another radio/baseband or something.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doenen:
are u saying you dont remeber if the radio was working on CM 4.4 e.g.!?

Honestly, if you sound really far away it cant be a problem connected to baseband/radiofirmware. Its either because you are standing quite far away from the person you are trying to test-call (joke) or due to the phone app.

Make a NANdroid and try it with another firmware....
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Wuxz:
No that's not what I said ;) I meant, I can't recall if the issue was happening.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigDnm01:
Hello!

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Wifi only, model SM-T3100ZWYXAR. I bought it here in the USA. The stock version does not contain a vietnamese language. I want to get a "firmware" or "rom", I dunno what, that have the vietnam language AND the english language firmware. I dunno, a SE Asian region or Vietnam region if there is one. Problem is I'm new to Samsung and don't know exactly how to do it, if there is instructions, great. I also don't know which and where to download the ftf or firmware or rom. I also want the original with my stock if I want to flash it back. I download the ODIN which I think is the tool to do it.

I do have several Sony Xperias phones and do know/ have experience how to flash the ftf to the phones. Is it similar in any way?

What is the difference between firmware and ROM? Are they the same, is ROM is regularly used here cause almost nobody mentions firmware and that's why I got confused?

over on the Xperia forums, I almost never heard of the words ROM used, but that is because I was only looking for firmwares.

If successful, I'm planning to purchase another Tab but with 3G or 4G LTE model and hope to flash a firmware/rom with VN and ENG language into those as well. So is there a thread with all firmwares/rom in one as I see it scatter everywhere. [

btw, do I need to root or unlock bootloader to do this? If so, some instructions would be nice.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brian D:
Is this what you are looking for? The T3100 is 3g and the T3110 is WiFi. At least that is what the Sammobile site is saying.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=27167

Here is the link for the firmware. Just enter SM-T310 or SM-T311 in the search field.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

ROM and Firmware are interchangeable terms. You do not need to root to flash (load) OEM Rom with ODIN. Just make sure you follow instructions. They literally are all over this site.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigDnm01:
thank you, now I know what to look for.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmbomb:
To be safe and to prevent stumbling blocks., first download and install 'Samsung Kies' to your PC..

that will install the drivers needed for Odin to communicate with your Samsung device.

Now you dont USE Kies... just install it and once installed, dont use it when you run Odin..

just run Odin only..then download your new firmware to your tab.

Good luck and write back if you run into a snag.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigDnm01:
ok, I finally found the firmware I wanted to try out (SINAPORE, hopefully they have English AND Vietnamese language. took a while to install it via rapidgator.

But just realize I don't have the instructions to flash it. can someone send me links for the instructions to flash firmware for Galaxy Tab 3?

Fyi, I have download XSP-T310XWUAMG3-20130801161200.zip and install KIES, Odin. what else I need?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brian D:
Read this several times before you actually perform the flash. This way if you have a question you can ask.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigDnm01:
I tried, but didn't work it failed. fyi, I used PDA, but there are other options, PIT, Bootloader, Phone, CSC and UMS. am I choosing the right one?

Yes, PDA is the correct location. When you say you tried but didn't work, can you be more specific? Please list exactly what you did to the detail. Then we can see if you missed a step or you added/deleted something or whatever.

t3100

is there any here experiencing touch problem for our tab 3 8.0 ? mine is not working properly but if i stop some apps on running it become faster and normal. i don't know if i need to update im using 4.2.2 already comes from when i bought this. please i need help how to fix this touch problem sometimes it's really hard to touch i need to double tap it to work.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigDnm01:
ok so I

0) Ensure the tablet is at least 50% charged and is turned off. mine was 80%

1) Installed KIES, Odin 3.07, open Odin 3.07, Samsung USB driver for Mobile Phones.

2) Download the correct stock firmware

3) went to Download/Odin mode on Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, POWER BUTTON + VOLUME DOWN, then VOLUME UP to confirm.

4) Connect USB from PC to Galaxy Tab.

5) tick/checked PDA click on PDA, find md5 file.

6) Start.

then I waited, but it always FAILED, three times. what did I do wrong. Also I installed Odin 3.09, but none of the malware it came with. but I don't see Odin 3.09 anywhere. Where can I download the correct 3.09?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brian D:
When you executed Odin 3.07, did you right-click and Run as Administrator?

After connecting the device to the PC, AND, before you hit start, did your Odin 3.07 screen look like the attached image?

Blue box in ID:COM with 0:[COMx] where x is a com port number.

Was KIES running (should not have been)

Auto Reboot unchecked (not important for OEM Rom)

All the text in the messages box

Check mark to the left of the PDA box

File name in the PDA box ending in MD5

The most important is the blue box that says 0:[COMx]. If that is not present then you cannot upload the file to your device.

Your Odin 3.09 went to C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Local\Temp
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigDnm01:
Yes, I'm sure the 0:[COMx] was present when I did try it, And I didn't uncheck the Auto-Reboot box, maybe I should? only that and F. Reset Time was checked

Also, does the md5 have to be in a specific folder? Mine was just on the desktop. does it matter if I use 3.07 or 3.09 Odin?

And just to make sure, I need to have my tablet in Odin/Download mode before I proceed, correct? before I connect the usb.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brian D:
Auto-Reboot can be checked or unchecked for the OEM Rom. If you install one of the other developer roms then is should be unchecked.

My recovery files (OEM Rom) are located in a folder two levels deep. I makes no difference where the files are located. So you don't need to fret over that detail. I am not 100% sure about the differences between Odin 3.07 and 3.09, so that question I cannot answer. I personally use Odin 3.07 even though I have 3.09 on my computer.

Yes, first place the tablet in download mode (vol down and power, then vol up), connect cable, open Odin 3.0x as Administrator and verify connectivity, add MD5 file to PDA, press start.

One thing I think might be important is to extract the MD5 file from the zip file and place it somewhere you can access, like your desktop (as you have it). Do not leave it in the zip folder, and, do not try and load the zip folder. I do not think Odin will let you do that but I just want to make sure that you are not trying that.

There is just one thing that I am also not sure. In the original post you said you have the "T310 WiFi only" tab (shouldn't that be T311 Wifi) and it looks like you are trying to load the T310 3G version firmware. That might be a reason it is failing. This is just a guess but you might want to download the T311 OEM Rom and try that. Match your firmware with that of the OEM. Just a thought. Please confirm your product and your firmware.

Thanks. I thought it should've restart by itself, but I guess I was wrong. It was scary, though, I know how easy it is to screw it up and brick your device. good thing is. IT WORKS! SUCCESS! now I have the language I wanted, Vietnamese language in the Singapore firmware.

Since I succeeded, I'll go ahead with the SM-T217T Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 4G LTE (T-Mobile USA). I just realized that the SM-T217T is USA T-Mobile only. Can I flash other SM-T217(_) and it'll still work? the 3G/4G LTE?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmbomb:
I think that you shoould ONLY flash firmware that was designed for YOUR particular model.

Hardware is different for each model, and you can (will) brick real fast by flashing different models FW on a certain device.

Stick with your model number.

You may want to ask T-Mobile how to get the Vietnamese language on their device.

They may just be able to tell you how to D?L the language pak for it.

Good luck
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigDnm01:
Well, I guess I'm stuck at a road block with the SM-T217T Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (T-Mobile USA). Would rooting help? I can tried apps like More Locale, but I don't think it's any luck, since I tried and failed with the Tab 3 8.0.

But at least I succeeded in flashing the correct firmware I wanted on my SM-T310 Tab 3 8.0 Wifi only.

Thank you all for your help.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brian D:
Glad you got the OEM Rom back on your device. Now do a backup so you will always have a way back to a basic system before you do anything else. Backups are easier to restore than trying to reload OEM Rom (as you have found out).
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigDnm01:
if I do the factory reset, it wouldn't change the firmware that I flash, would it? In my experience, it doesn't. btw, I tried backing up the device, on 3 computers running KIES. none worked. it takes way too long and I assumed, froze. I tried backup and restore 2 Galaxy S4 on the same PCs and it worked, so not the PCs.

btw, about trying to find a SM-T217 firmware for my T-Mobile SM-T217T. while recommended that I should flash a firmware that is not for the device, I think it could work, although I never did it with a Samsung.

I have an Sony Xperia LT30at (AT&T) phone that I flash the LT30p (unbranded) firmware and it works fine.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brian D:
For me, the best way to do a backup was with TWRP. It only took about 2 minutes and it is done on the device. No need to attach a PC. However, after the backup was complete I would connect my PC and transfer the backup file to a safe location. I would also keep a copy on the device in the event I needed to do a restore. If for some weird reason the copy on the device was damaged then I had the copy on the PC I could transfer back to the device.

As for using different firmware on difference devices I would recommend not to do it. But that is your call. If you feel lucky... well...
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmbomb:
Can I do a "back up" WITHOUT using TWRP or CM.???

Those things can be tricky to flash....and they block you from OTA updates...with 4.4 comming soon..
