[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
Not trying to be rude, but you really need to spend a week or two reading the threads in the "Wizard Upgrading" forum before you even thinking of flashing your Rom.

FYI firmware is for cellphones, Roms are for Windows Mobile Devices.

As to which Rom to use, that depends what you're looking for.

You can go for the latest, the most stable, or one that supports a specific feature. Again this is somethign you really need to read-up on. If you are looking for a specific feature use http://xdaforums.com/search.php .

Honestly, you will gain speed and stability with any 2.x Rom.

To use one of the custom Roms you will need to CID unlock your device (search for it) first.

For your first flash you might just want to stick to an official Rom.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mlts22:
First, don't even think of attempting a CID unlock until you figure out if you have a G4 chip or not, unless you want to turn your MDA into a brick. There are other articles on the unlocking forums, as well as the Wizard forums that go into this in detail.

Until this is ironed out, I'd consider paying $40 to the guys at www.imei-check.co.uk. I've not heard any bad press about these guys, so if you want a SIM/CID unlock, go here.

If its freezing up on you, I'd consider backing your stuff on it, doing a hard reset, and restoring it. Make sure you have the data backed up (if ActiveSync doesn't have it, there are other backup utilities which can work well for your MDA you can purchase.) If you are getting freezes with just the factory installed stuff on it, you may have a hardware issue.

Lastly, quite a number of things can be enhanced/fixed without a ROM reflash, so unless T-Mobile USA comes out with new downloadable ROMs, I'd not worry about a reflash just yet.

Sorry for butting in

I flashed the S3 Sprint MOAR ROM on my phone. Other Virgin Mobile users in the MOAR thread seem to be using the ROM fine. It looks slick but I am getting a problem with com.android.phone. It FCs all the time at boot and about every 3 minutes after. I have tried flashing the MK3 and MK5 modems. I have tried flashing all of the APN fixes. I have tried reflashing the ROM several times. I have tried clearing the cache and data of Phone and Contacts. To flash I am running the latest version of Philz Recovery.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
Did you do a " Clean " install at first ? Meaning did you wipe System - Data - Dalvik - Dalvik Cache - Factory Reset - Wipe Internal Storage. Did you verify the MD5 checksum before flashing the Rom ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mablake184:
I did all of this but completely wipe out the internal of all folders. I didn't bother to remove my download, pictures, etc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
This is going to sound strange, especially after asking if you did a clean install. But try doing a dirty flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mablake184:
That was the first thing I tried actually. I figured, oh I'll just overwrite whatever broke. No dice :\. I'm wondering if its something with my phone. This isn't the first rom where I have experienced this.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hamza Murad:
[MENTION=5798044]Smoller[/MENTION]

It should heat up that much due to the small body. As for the speed thermal throttling will decrease the cpu clockspeed when phone heats up.

[MENTION=5799558]daveyp187[/MENTION]

That temperature WILL damage the internals. Desktop grade processors heat up that much during highly extensive tasks.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kw1mx5:
Hi - I'm desperately hoping someone can help....

In the process of endeavouring to enable RW access to my UK HTC One M8 (O2) I've sucessfully rooted and installed the SDFix from Next App in the hope that it would perform the necessary mod to the platform.xml file in /system/etc/permissions but it failed because it didn't recognise the file as xml.

I've checked into it and I can see that the file itself has become corrupt and is full of spurious korean (probably) text.

I'm desperately hoping someone would please email me a copy of their platform.xml file so I can overwrite this corrupt one as I don't dare switch my phone off until it has a chance of booting.

I've looked for a copy of the stock ROM but cannot see the wood for the trees.

I imagine the file from any HTC One M8 variant will do - certainly any viable platform.xml file would be better than a file full of garbage, although ideally for the UK model would probably be wise.

my email is etherkeiffer at the google email domain thanks in anticipation guys!

p.s. I appreciate this is kind of dev related but I don't have enough posts to post in that forum and this is so urgent as I don't dare switch my phone off for fear of bricking it

yes - I'm sure you're right but I just didn't want to take any chances as I'm mostly a stock user and only root and make changes where I consider it absolutely essential so I don't have much experience (in case it doesn't show :) ).

With my previous Galaxy S2 that was both essential and the changes (removals) quite substantial - it's amazing how much crap Samsung were cramming on handsets, even a couple of years ago.

Hi, The other day i tried to fix the Platform.xml. on my S5. i noticed sometime after that when i move files using the "My files" app, the phone would not refresh the files so that they would show up in gallery, videos etc.. I tried to undo the Media_rw by using SD Maid to find the Platform.xml and Axel to rewrite the Xml. In the platform.xml. i deleted the Media_rw and replaced the old xml with the new (original) one. I rebooted my phone. On swiping to open the screen i noticed alot of apps crashing one after the other. I when back to SD Maid and searched for Platform.xml and opened it with Axel but it said file not found.. i can not use the internet, i cant use most apps, i cant even use the Kies on my computer. I cant save anything to the storage either. I really need help. how can i reset the xml files on my phone..

Thank you.

When I edit the platform.xml with ES File Explorer and save it, it goes back to stock on reboot.

I tried to copy that file, edit in new location, save, and then:

1. When I overwrite platform.xml with ES File Explorer phone reboots and stock file is back

2. When I delete stock platform.xml to copy modified file in its place phone reboots and stock file is back.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1427113:
Well, you're right. I ran into that issue also. Finally I think I found a solution more or less by accident:

I moved the platform.xml to /data/data

• Boot in recovery mode

• Mount system*and*data

• Start ADB shell (on a Windows PC cmd: “adb.exe shell”)

• Type the following commands:

1	cd /system/etc/permissions

2	mv platform.xml /data/data

3	ln -s /data/data/platform.xml platform.xml

4	exit

Reboot phone and do the necessary changes to the platform.xml file:

1	Using a root-enabled file manager navigate to /data/data

2	Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.

3	Add an additional line containing the group definition for this permission: <group gid=”media_rw” />

4	Save the changes to the file.

5	Restart the phone.

Once done I moved the file back:

• Boot in recovery mode

• Mount system*and*data

• Start ADB shell (on a Windows PC cmd: “adb.exe shell”)

• Type the following commands:

1	cd /data/data

2	mv platform.xml /system/etc/permissions

3	exit

After that the changed file survived several reboots so far. :D

As always: If you also try it that way - it's on your own risk... ;)

1. Copy platform.xml from /system/etc/permissions to SD card or internal memory with ES File Explorer or any other way.

2. Open copied platform.xml in new location and edit it according to http://technofaq.org/posts/2014/04/fixing-external-sd-card-write-issue-on-android-kitkat/ (Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.

[IMG="Screen shot of edited platform.xml"]http://technofaq.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/perms-576x1024.jpg[/IMG]

3. Save the changes to the file.

4. Turn phone off.

5. Press and hold volume down and power buttons to boot into TWRP recovery.

6. Press volume down until "recovery" is highlighted, then press power button to boot into recovery.

7. Back up your phone before proceeding just in case something goes wrong.

8. In TWRP recovery mount system partition. This took me a while to figure it out as otherwise you can't find and overwrite stock platform.xml in /system/etc/permissions and it is not mounted by default.

9. In TWRP recovery go to advanced and copy the platform.xml from location you saved the edited copy to /system/etc/permissions and overwrite the stock platform.xml with edited copy.

10. Reboot

11. Apps have write access to SD card and SD is fixed.
