[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Baurblades43:
I'll first list specs of my phone so it gives you some information you might need to help me solve my problem.

Verizon Galaxy S4

Android 4.3 MK2

Download mode works properly. Phone will not turn on unless it is plugged in via micro USB. Recovery mode boot loops.

(Recovery mode) I hold volume up and power after I plug in the micro usb to turn the phone on, and it shows the samsung logo, and the blue text pops up in the corner and says "Recovery Booting". After about 2 seconds of it showing that, it'll just black screen and repeat this boot loop of the samsung logo popping up and the blue text as if I have the recovery keys held down.

What led up to all of this is, my phone crashed and it turned off and tried to reboot, and crashed during the reboot. That's where I ran into the problem with the phone not turning on unless it was plugged in(battery is fully charged). At that time, if I plugged it in and didn't touch any keys, it would vibrate, and then a battery icon with a gray circle loading thing would pop up in a frozen picture. Then after about 8 seconds, it'd black screen and boot loop that. I couldn't get into Recovery at that time, but download worked fine. So then I googled a little and I flashed something onto my phone using Odin and Download mode. The file is supposed to make the default boot sequence go to recovery mode. This worked, but since Recovery mode is broken, it doesn't work entirely. After this, I didn't do anything for a day, and then I read some posts and tried flashing both a Wipe and No-wipe stock firmware MK2. Both of which did not work, since still, the phone was defaulting its boot to the broken recovery mode.

So as far as I know, the only way to do anything to the phone is through Odin and Download mode since nothing else works. I'm really hoping I'll be able to fix this, because I'd rather not pay $100 for a new phone :/

Basically what I'm asking for is what I should do next.. My only last thought is(If its possible) to wipe the phone using Odin, then putting the stock firmware back onto it. (The wipe of course getting rid of that stupid file that makes it go into recovery mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
are you an unrooted stock ROM??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
I'm sure someone smarter then me will know exactly what is going on here but things I'd try in the mean time is another Odin file possibly. I believe Surge has said that if MK2 file doesn't work to try the MJ7 full wipe/Re-Partition one. At this point what you got to lose?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Baurblades43:
I am rooted with safestrap installed. Using the Hyperdrive ROM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Baurblades43:
I believe I've already done this? I'm not sure. I'll have to check once I get home later in the day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
I would strongly suggest the Full Wipe method back to MK2. As long as you can boot into Download mode this is probably the best way to get a clean OS working again. From there you know the drill, Saferoot, SS, etc.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] naveen6252:
Use sp flash tool and install another recovery. That will surely work. Just download sp flash tool and drivers for your device and install these files in your pc. After that download recovery.img and scatter file.txt for your device. First load the scattered file.txt using sp flash tool, now uncheck all the tick box except the recovery. Now click on recovery and select the recovery.img which you have downloaded. Now take out your phone's battery and connect it via usb cable. Make sure you have installed your phone's drivers. Click on download button on sp flash tool. If not works then remove the usb cable and reconnect again. You will see a green circle saying its done. Click on ok. And try to get into recovery again.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
If he's using Safestrap, it most likely means he can't flash a recovery image. He could brick his phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Was just going to say that. I don't know much about that flash tool myself... Is it an alternative to Odin? From the little I read... You can flash an entire rom or just something in particular to repair a phone. Either way I don't think the OP should try that method. Stick with Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
+1, the only safe option is to flash a clean factory image via Odin. Otherwise say hello to your new doorstop if you mess with Recovery on MK2 locked bootloader

Flash new image >> 15-25 minutes

Root >> 2-3 minutes

SS >> 3-5 minutes

HD RLS15 (for example) >> 15 minutes

In about an hour or so phone is back up and running. No brainer..........
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Baurblades43:
The thing is.. I've tried flashing new images before, and all its doing is overwriting my old one, but the stupid factory thing I flashed makes the default path the broken recovery so I don't think this will work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
Are you sure you flashed the full wipe tar file? I've successfully used this method numerous times.

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319198294

Make sure you download to PC first then copy to your external SD card on your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Baurblades43:
Umm.. Why would I want to put that on my external SD card? Wouldn't I want to just use it through ODIN?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
Oops sorry I meant to leave the tar file on the PC.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Baurblades43:
Haha alright. I'll go ahead and download this file and give it a go. Wish me luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Baurblades43:
Also, can you give me a quick guide on how to flash this through Odin? I just wanna make sure I'm not doing anything wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Oishikatta:
Directions are in the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2578209
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Baurblades43:
I followed the directions for everything as they were given and I got the same result I've gotten after flashing anything. Everything works fine, then the big blue "RESET" icon appears on Odin, then the phone reboots, I get samsung logo, and then the blue "recovery booting" text shows up.. and then the screen blacks out, and boot loops that same thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Oishikatta:
Make sure you're using the Full Wipe image (SCH-I545_VZW_1_20131212083410_mwx72ql56g_fac.zip), and have extracted it to a .tar.md5

Also download the JFLTE_USA_VZW_16G.pit (assuming you have the 16GB version of the S4).

Put the .tar.md5 in the AP section and the PIT file in the PIT section.

Leave the other checkboxes in Odin at their defaults.

Take a screenshot at this point, click Start, and then take another screenshot when it completes or gives an error.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Baurblades43:
Alright. I did a lot between your post and now. All of the information for everything I did is underneath each picture thats posted. So read them carefully.

EDIT: I looked up the battery icon problem and I found some interesting news. After all of the struggling with the darn phone, this is a common problem with this phone on 4.3. Its an overheating issue to the PBA(Motherboard I think). Thanks everyone for the help, I'm just gonna send it in and get a new phone.

Last night I turned my phone off to save battery, as my Nexus 7 was using my charger. Bear in mind it was turned off at about 80-90% battery. Woke up this morning and wanted to check social networks etc. but it didn't turn on. No vibrations, no LED.

Locked bootloader

Latest Android 4.3 update (.569)

Not rooted.

Not sure whats happened but I really need my phone and it's an emergency.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Have you tried turning it off and on again?

LOL jk <3

Does anything happen when you plug it in to charge again?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZynexOG:
Nope, left it on charge while i was at school (around 6-7 hours). No LEDs, nothing.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikash1994b:
Try pressing volume up nd power at the same time for 10 seconds
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZynexOG:
Tried that and nothing happens. Took out SD card and SIM, still nothing. No vibrations no matter what I do, I'll be taking it back tomorrow.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikash1994b:
Try repairing using pcc or sus,

Or if u r in warranty get your phone replaced
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZynexOG:
I tried connecting it to my PC, nothing happens and flashmode/fastboot won't start. My Dad took it to my carrier while I was at school and he said they just turned it on with a special button combination which I'm un aware of. Phone works fine now. :)

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] steve_p:
Having spend several hours searching for information on the extent to which various stereo headsets are fully supporting A2DP and AVRCP on the Prophet with the A2DP hack, and not really getting a clear overview, I thought it might be useful if a thread was started to list the headsets in common use with an indication of their capabiliteis. Hope people will contribute in providing a useful resource:

So here goes: I have a Globalsat BTH-820:

What's Working:

Note: Only tested with Media Player 10 (results may it seem differ with for example Pocket Music/Pocket Player)

-Once paired, connects with a 4 second press of the On-Off button.

-Next and Previous track buttons work.

-Volume Up and Down work (amplification is by the unit, not the PPC)

-With the Voice Command hack via BT, MS voice Command can be heard through the headset and replied to via the built-in mic

What's Not Working:

-Play/Pause. Audio can be paused and stopped remotely (the latter with the on-off/call answer button) but cannot be resumed without using the PPC.

-Voice Command initiation: Has to be initiated via a button on the pocket pc

Other Observations:

-Sound quality is pretty good so long as the pocket pc's volume is set at max and the BTH-820 volume control is used with restraint. Background noise becomes apparent when the BTH-820's volume is cranked up too far.

-No pauses, skips or breakup of signal if within range of the PPC. Signal strength is pretty good too (though I think primarily because the Prophet's bluetooth signal is particularly strong)

-Bass is good but treble is a little thin and metallic (I think in common with all MS BT Stack A2DP implementations and down to the poor SBC compression algorithm).

Note that the BTH-820 works perfectly on devices with the Widcomm BT stack. On the iPaq hx4700, for example, the sound is very good indeed.

Even the h6340 (running a slower OMAP processor than the Prophet) acquits itself very well

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Steve

Try use Pocket Music Player 4.2.6. All AVRCP function is worked. :lol:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] meisterlampe2000:
Good to have a Thread like this by now. I want to buy the Motorola HT820 and i like to have good Bass - I friend of mine has got the Sony Walkman Mobile Phone with these awesome in-ear Headphones.

Does a BT Headset have the same/better Sound than a wired one ?

What about the Motorola ?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Reef:
Battery drain?

How much more battery is drained when you listen to music with bluetooth compared to thru a normal "wire" from the phone to earplugs?

Thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] steve_p:
Hi: I've not really attempted to keep track of battery drain. There's obviously the overhead of having Bluetooth on and the processing required to compress the audio for transmission. Nothing like as much as with WiFi on, though.

Regards,

Steve

I have:

Sony Ericsson HBH-610

Doesn´t seem to work at all :=(

Can´t get it to make me an offer to check the box for "use as wireless headset", got the option when I rightclick the icon, although it´s greyed out.

My guess is that this headset can´t be used for this, anyone who have it working?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Rayan:
I have the Plantronics Pulsar 590 and they work flawlessly with PocketMusic.

The track fades makes the whole experience a lot better....

Moto HT 820

AVRCP works with WMP, Pocket Player 2.72 and up with gen_wmhost.dll plug-in, PocketMusic 2.6.XXX. SOmetimes with WMP u do have to tap play|pause on the screen once to make it work from headphones.

Auto reconnects, however play|pause button also initialises connection.

Uptime: around 12.5 hrs of continious playback, whereas JAMin/display off, Bt on, GSM on, Non overclocked CPU, music from SD card/ stays for something around 7 hrs (6.5 when overclocked to 240).

I am looking to buy the Bluetake i-phono mini (a pain to get hold of in Australia :shock: ). Has anyone tried to pair with this set of headphones (and what was the quality like?)

pocket music player

stevep,

I have the same bluetooth bth-820 and have the exact same issues with windows mobile media player.

But goddamn, sas90850 is completely right. Pocket music player solved all the issues. Play/pause now works, plus it has an equalizers and aac support.

----------------------------

Update 7/26/2006:

PocketMusic was just too resource heavy for my HTC Wizard. Even though my Wizard is overclocked at 264mhz, I still would get skipping, white screens and having to constantly reboot because of application freezes. PocketMusic doesn't work reliably with the Wizard.

I did however find another, lighter and arguably better player. PocketPlayer by Conduits.

First install version Pocket Player 2.8. AVRCP will not work until you install WMP plugin adapter 1.1. Everything works and it is awesome. The program has everything you need.

Pocket Player version 2.8

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ak123456:
I do own a Anycom BSH-100. Always skip every 20 sec. Never got it work with nothing.

Looking to change it.

Option.

Bluetake mini with they audio gateway

BlueAnt X5 (are they the same as the sonorix???)

Globalsat BTH-820 with BTA-830

if i could find an audio gateway

Jabra 620s

Motorola HT820

Any other suggestion would be welcome.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] chonkey:
I really really want these for my new m600.. anyone got any update on their compatability?

cheers
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] steve_p:
Re: pocket music player

Hi: Downloaded Pocket Player 2.8 and can confirm that it works well with the BTH-820. I can recommend this combination: no pauses or dropouts on my JAMin.

I believe that Conduits are using sbc.dll for audio compression, so some sound quality issues do still exist, These can be compensated for to some extent by using the equalizer built in to Pocket Player. In the longer term I hope MS will re-visit this code: Broadcomm's (Widcomm) A2DP implementation produces much higher quality sound...

Cheers,

Steve
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Nemolacuna:
BengalBoy has a review of them and based on it, I ordered one from ebay. It's bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP and AVRCP, so it should work with any device that supports it. It should be a week or so before I get it, but it looks like it will work fine if you have a device that supports it.

http://www.bengalboy.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=527&forum=20

(WARNING: sometimes the reviews are NSFW.)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] abubasim:
I just received mine from Expansys. I have an i-mate JAMin with i-mate's latest WWE ROM and smartmobile.se's version of the A2DP patch and I have used Windows Media Player and PocketMind's Pocket Music:

+ Sound quality is excellent!

+ Play/pause works.

+ Previous/next works as well.

- The display does

not

show song details.

Using the headset for phone calls works well and

the display shows the caller ID

. But the phone seems to be unable to use the headset for handsfree and wireless stereo at the same time as the phone doesn't want to switch back to wireless stereo once a phone call has ended. I have to go in to Bluetooth settings and mark the headset for wireless stereo again to switch back to music. I suspect this could be a problem with the "unofficial" support for A2DP on the Prophet and not the DS970.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] chonkey:
I've succumbed and ordered a pair today.. looking forward to getting them working tomorrow/friday depending on the delivery time..

Need to get my head around the fixes for my m600 now...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Matterhorn:
I don't get it, if you want wireless headphones why buy these? You might as well just plug them in to your device.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] abubasim:
Wireless refers to lack of wires between phone and headphones. The wires you have on the DS970 are just long enough to allow you to keep the receiver/remote in your shirt pocket, while you can keep the phone stuffed somewhere else . . . (no more embarassing questions about why those headset wires going down the front of my pants!)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] tdx:
One thing that kept me from buyin the headphones is exactly this: when you're wearing a shirt or coat, you can keep the DS970 in your pocket. but when you wear a t-shirt or sweater, you have nowhere to tuck them away, and they'll just be hanging on your chest, causing all sorts of complications when you bend over and all sorts of weird looks from passerbys...

Samsung SBH100 better sound A2DP

I try some Bluetooth Stereo Headphones with A2DPenable.cab on this site.

I use the last rom QTEK for S200 in French with no vendor ID.

My best choice is Samsung SBH100, better sound, excellent quality like direct sound output on SPV M600., 7H music and 2-3H conversation.

it have more buttons Talk Volume -/+ Play/Pause FF/REW

Sound is more power.

no problem to connect on SPV M600.

in the package, we have a case for headphone only and power supply 110/240V no adapter USB or Car

no transmitter bluetooth with conneanalog audio input like plantronics 590 (metallic sound) and no mini-jack on headphone to connect directly on audio devices, but the sound for is better choice...

JEFF from France.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Nemolacuna:
Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970

Pros:

All functions work well for me too using Pocket Player.

The sound has better bass then the Globalsat BTH-820 and is much richer. It could be the headphones though, rather then the bluetooth. I was using Shure in-ear headphones with the Globalstat, but find the DS970 to sound better over bluetooth.

The voice microphone is way, way better then the Globalstat. The Globalstat has a horrible microphone that makes you sound distant even when holding it up to your mouth. The DS970, while not perfect, is much better.

The construction is much more solid then the flimsy plastic of the Globalstat. It both feels and looks great.

The design requires that you wear it around your neck. IMO it's a bit geeky, but not as bad as wearing the princess lea cans. I now find the design to be practical, because you can just drop the ear buds from your ears when you need to talk to someone and they will just hang around your neck. No fuss.

Cons:

The DS970 has buttons that are difficult to navigate by touch only. The volume buttons are small and the forward/back are even smaller requiring a flick of the fingernail. Also, by touch only it's hard to tell which side is the front and back, so you have to feel around more to orient yourself for the volume and forward/back buttons. It's not as easy to use then the Globalstat, which has a more intuitive ipod-like button control.

The charger sucks. It's proprietary Sony Ericsson rather then mini-usb and it's another charger I have to pack.

(btw. I have the same problem with the A2DP hack. Anyone find a solution to it?)
