[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emp-Naval:
ok, I missed up big time...

Apparently my S III -international I9300- tried to update automatically, but for some reason it failed in the middle, so it gave me the "Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again" massage, obviously being a complete noob I trusted samsung, long story short kies didn't work for me...

Then I searched and came across Odin, which seems to work perfectly for everyone else but me, again, the universe just hates me.

I watched a video on youtube, and followed the instructions, downloaded the tar files from samsung-updates[.com]

And downloaded Odin 3.07, and got my phone into download mode, so far so good, it started the magic, only when it finished and gave me the success massage, my phone didn't restart automatically, and yes I had the "Auto Reboot" checked.

Naively, I assumed that I could restart the phone on my own, I did that and hell went loose. The screen started to show this -attachments- for whatever reason,

although I could still get into Download mode, idk why...

So then again I tried to use Odin, it won't work, it either gives me the massage "There is no PIT partition", or it gets stuck at starting connection massage.

Any ideas of whether I can recover my phone or not, please tell me that I haven't hard bricked my S III..

And one more thing, I know it might sound stupid atm, but I really extremely need the photos on my phone, so is there any way to recover them, back them up, anything, even if I had to go and unbrick my phone at samsung, can I back up the photos or anything before sending it :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

You need to pay for a New Motherboard

Device: Samsung Galaxy S3

ROM: CyanogenMod 11 (Temasek Unofficial V40 )

Kernel: Boeffla-Kernel-CM11-2.1-Beta9-
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emp-Naval:
Can I in any way, get my pictures out of it...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emp-Naval:
if there is a method that involves melting my S III just to get the photos on it, I'm ok with that... I kinda need the photos on the phone not the phone itself, the photos are for my work over the past 2 years and are extremely valuable...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
No pit means your emmc chip, where all your data was stored, is already melted and dead. Sorry.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emp-Naval:
I can still get into download mode, if that matters in any way...

Can I somehow use adb from download mode, I can't access recovery mode to use the backup feature of adb, but it strikes me why I can still get into download mode...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emp-Naval:
anyone plz :crying:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino.meee:
The state of your device looks (really) bad, I've never encountered any such problems before.

If it helps you, we can help you get the phone back to how it was from the start (possibly) entire reset from scratch.

Most likely your files are irrecoverable (sorry about that), but the next time, this would possibly serve as a lesson as not to use your phone's internal memory to store important files... Wait you know what? probably don't use your work or important phone for tasks like these, make sure you always have a backup and other copies of your files somewhere else.

(Probably) the most we could help is with recovering your phone from zero assuming the brick isn't that bad.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Avantu:
What's diffirence? I need new motherboard to my E975. E973 on ebay with cracked screen is pretty cheap. What about differences? I heard that E973 has 8MP camera but some sites says its 13MP like E975. What about bands too? I need 900/2100 working bands like on E975, again one sites says that E973 would work on that bands.
[LG Optimus G (International)] puma99dk|:
Look here at gsmania: http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_g_e975-4941.php

4G Network

LTE 800 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 - E975 (market dependent)

LTE 700 / 1700 - E973

it says E973 has 700 / 1700 LTE not 900/2100 that you need, the E975 depends on market.

I cannot find an indication of screen on time in either Usage or History under my power menu. Is it not there, or am I just blind? I've also checked the "Display & gestures" without luck.

Screen time has always been my major indication of battery life, so I'm having a hard time evaluating my new phone without it. Can anyone help?

Thank you.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
Try a 3rd party app like GSAM Battery Monitor.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheTomas:
So it's really not there? I really thought I was just missing something. It's ridiculous that the information is not available through the stock rom.

Thanks for the reply, I'll check out the app, but it seems like there's got to be a way to get the stock system to show that info? Maybe there's a mod of the settings.db to enable it?

Anyone know?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] krazie1:
Yeah, I have no idea why HTC would not include the "Screen" section for Battery Usage
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
Hell, I don't know why they didn't just use the real Android settings/power/etc screens, and just theme them with Sense.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] christianearl:
Isn't it in settings under / power ? nevermind I see what your talking about.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nicholi2789:
Yeah that irritated the heck out of me too when I first noticed it. And since KitKat you can't use apps to monitor battery statistics without root and an Xposed module. Now I just betterbatterystats and EnableBatteryStatsPermission xposed module and I can see my screen on time, kernel wakelocks, and everything else. Works for me.
[Sony Xperia ZR] KlamKhowder:
Hello everyone, I'm trying to unlock my bootloader but I have hit a roadblock and cannot seem to find anything that helps.

The part where i am stuck at is that when i enter "fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version" all i get is "waiting for device" infinitely.

I know the phone is in fastboot mode because the blue light is on

It seems my pc isn't recognizing my phone when it's in fastboot mode. I can see my phone in windows device manager as "S1 boot fastboot" but when i try to update the drivers manually using the drivers provided by sony, i just get an update failed screen.

any help would be much appreciated, i'm sure it's something dumb that i did, but i just can't figure out what.
[Sony Xperia ZR] vuckiez:
unlock it using flash tool, just press unlock wait and enter the code.. done
[Sony Xperia ZR] ronaldbeti:
try using different usb cable/ different port.
[Sony Xperia ZR] glukasil:
Had same problem....some driver was missing
[Sony Xperia ZR] KlamKhowder:
I've finally gotten flash tool to work, however now it gives me an error saying that my device cannot be officially unlocked,

EDIT: i'm pretty sure i've unlocked the bootloader now, as flashtool had me enter an unlock code and my device has had all of its data reset.

however my issues continue as now flashtool utterly refuses to pick up my device. I have re-installed all drivers, flashtool, etc but still nothing.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Ilko:
sometimes it may have conflicts when flashtool and other tools use their own instance of adb or fastboot. I think the best thing to do now is reinstalling regular drivers normally. don't forget to enable usb debugging...

this may be useful :

[I]ADB_PATH[/I]\adb kill-server
exit

create a text file, paste this code then save it as ADB - Kill.cmd
[Moto G General] bishteca:
Swear to all gods, old and new: all I did was switch from Dalvik to ART and BAM! Instant improved battery life.

Try it for yourself. Won't hurt and you can always revert back efortlessly.

Cheers! :good:
[Moto G General] c0mmando:
Any other advantages/disadvantages of using ART rather than Dalvik noted? :P And what ROM are you on?
[Moto G General] aviwdoowks:
I am scared to switch it on 442 unrooted x.

Are you unlocked? Rooted?

There are horror stories on x section.
[Moto G General] ATRIXXIRTA:
When i first got my Moto G, before I unlocked and rooted it, I switched to ART while on stock, and it worked fine.

Since then I have unlocked the bootloader, rooted, and installed some Xposed stuf.

Now when I go to switch to ART, the phone just reboots normally, doesn't update any apps, and I'm still on Dalvik??

Anyone have any ideas??
[Moto G General] rogeriorp:
ART is not compatible with Xposed.
[Moto G General] ATRIXXIRTA:
ahhhhh..... gotcha.... so its either one or the other eh?

I think I will keep xposed just because I LOVE having a center clock, lol.

Thanks for that.

I knew that from when I had my Xperia ZL, but for some reason I was thinking it was device specific.
[Moto G General] sprockkets:
Can't used xposed with art. edit: late reply ninja'd already
[Moto G General] aviwdoowks:
So the horrors could be only due to Xposed & other mods? Art is safe on stock?
[Moto G General] denzel09:
In past i tried both dalvik and art and, more or less, i hadthe same amazing battery time :)
[Moto G General] bishteca:
Stock rom, unlocked bootloader and rooted.

Dual sim, by the way, so not many roms out there (if any, I think...).

I read it somewhere that ART makes apps launch slightly slower, but I didn't really feel any difference in real life usage. Maybe we're talking about miliseconds here, totally unnoticeable, mainly with skype and facebook apps, which normally take a few seconds to launch anyway. The rest are as snappy as can be.
[Moto G General] bishteca:
Yep, it's because of Xposed. If you can't live without its improvements (which are great, no doubt), you can't have ART.

I had Gravity Box, but turned out the only function I used was the quick access to tiles (you know, pull drawer on right half of screen). I get by without it.
[Moto G General] bishteca:
I can't say for Moto X, but for my Moto G the change was seamless. Except for the improved battery life, the rest feels pretty much the same. Of course, it all depends on how much you use your phone. I'm usually a light user, usually on wifi, just getting email push, some messaging, a few calls, but yesterday I did some pretty heavy 3G, screen on for a long time, localization services and it appeared to have behaved quite better than on Dalvik.

But be aware that once you change, the phone asks for a reboot and it can take quite a while to do so. You might even get a black screen for a while and when it shows something like "Updating apps 10/150" it can hang on a number for a while, it may appear to freeze but be patient, go to he kitchen, play with your pet. And be sure to have like 30-50% battery life, I have no idea what can happen if the battery runs out in the middle of the process. Probably nothing, but just in case, right?
[Moto G General] ATRIXXIRTA:
Every device I've ever switched to ART has always benchmarked lower than when on dalvik. Not that it matters. I just find it odd

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

I was gettingI worse battery life today for some reason. thought something was wrong after I installed xposed. Turns out I'm just a forgetful dumbass and forgot I had enabled GPS and location settings to test it's impact on battery... Lol
[Moto G General] scoutme:
I'm using art from the very first day, and I have exceptional battery life with everything turned on except Bluetooth (not using it at the moment) - about 24 hours

[Moto G General] sohambapat99:
'Camera unabled to start'

I get this message when on Dalvik, but never when on ART. Also, on Dalvik my play store crashes and so does: com.android.system.ui

Fed up it, so switching to ART again, but this causes my phone to heat up loads.

Thoughts, should I factory reset?
[Moto G General] ATRIXXIRTA:
I would. I don't have any issues on dalvik. And when I was using art (before I installed xposed), there wasn't anything I could do to heat this phone up. I've had 2 devices with the snapdragon s4 pro chip (optimus g, xperia zl) and that chip could cook your breakfast!!! This snapdragon 400 has impressed the pants off me so far!
[Moto G General] sohambapat99:
Really?

Forgive me for being a total noob here :eek: , but would the processor heat cause the battery to heat up?

Does your battery heat up? After 45 minutes of gaming Asphalt 8, mine cooks up to a massive 52.5 degrees celsius- I have a leather case on it so i don't notice it that much but when I took it out it was so hot!

BTW I'm non rooted, stock rom etc...

Do you have root and have you underclocked it?
[Moto G General] ATRIXXIRTA:
Any intense 3d gaming will heat up just about any device. There is no room for cooling these CPUs inside these phones, so they are prone to heat increases when pushed hard. I haven't played any intense 3d games on this yet. I just know that it doesn't heat up anything like my s4 pro devices used to.
[Moto G General] Robin>Hood:
And of course a leather case works as isolation, try not using the case, temp might drop some degrees then ;)

Is it not risky ?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luismauriz:
Good afternoon, my country does not sell products from HTC, but I'll be going to the U.S. next week, I would ask for a help from you, since support from HTC is not answering my question myself. In my country the LTE frequency was 2600 MHz (band 7).

I would like to buy the unlocked m8, but the HTC website says that is not compatible with the band 7, but the AT & T site says that the band 7 m8 works.

Someone could confirm looking at the products box if any of the mole sold in the U.S. works in the band 7. Thank you very much

Hi, good choice of HTC M8.

AT&T version does support band7(2600MHz), and according to AT&T version is the same model as Developer version. But I am not sure about is there Rom limitations to ban the band.

what do you recommend for for daily use?

Thanks!
[LG Optimus G (International)] seba2121:
Cyanogenmod 11 (with solid kernel) or any AOSP based ROM(with Faust Kernel). CM have very good performance and good battery, less stable than AOSP. AOSP best battery life but lower performance than CM, very stable

The author may help if you post your issues at the site, there is a place for comments at the bottom. I would suggest to try getting all working without ART. If the ROM and GAPPS are ART compatible, you should be able to turn it on later (but the initial boot with ART takes a long time regardless based on my experience with verygreen's unofficial CM 11 on SD card).

This is guide that deals with porting ROM's [4.0-4.4] in 9 SIMPLE STEPS!

What type of ROM can i port using this GUIDE?

Any ROM (except Stock/manufacturer based)

ROMs' from similar devices

From same Resolution devices

What do I need??

A machine to work on. Duh!

BASE & PORT ROMs

Notepad++(if on windows)

Special ingrediant :P

What is BASE Rom:

The ROM which is Developed For your Mobile..​

What is PORT Rom:

The Rom Which you want to port to your Device.

just keep checking all ROM's from the forum and find one of your choice that you would like to port to your device.​

So now we have a BASE and a PORT ROM.

Next we need a Machine to work on(but obvious) :p (I'd be using a Win 7 PC here)

Lets Start!

Step 1:

Take ANY clean AOSP/CM ROM , which has been developed for your device as BASE ROM.

And the ROM you want to port as PORT ROM

Extract both of them, and name the folders appropriately.

It should look like this now.

​

Step 2 : Delete app, font, framework, media [and priv-app if porting Kitkat].

​

Step 3: Copy app, font, framework, media [and priv-app if porting Kitkat] from PORT to BASE folder.

​

NOTE: If You find any extra file or folder in system folder of PORT ROM than copy them to your base rom system folder.

Step 4: Open etc in both PORT & BASE.

Step 5: Open init.d folder and

**Delete all files except 00banner from BASE.

**Copy all files from PORT except 00banner to BASE.

Step 6: Open Permissions in both BASE & PORT

**Copy all files{EXCEPT platform.xml and handheld_core_hardware.xml} from PORT to BASE

​

Step 7: Get to the build.prop and open both in notepad++

replace following line from PORT to BASE.

Also copy any other lines or tweaks you find in build.prop like this one

You can edit the following to what you wish or leave them as they are.

Step 8: Open both ROMs' updator-script

(get to them by going to >>> BASE/PORT folder > Meta-inf > com > google > android > here)

and delete all the lines setting permissions {set_perm() or set_metadata()} from BASE updator-script

Copy all set_perm()/set_metadata() lines from PORT to BASE updator-script.Save it ! :P

>>> As a precaution you can check the file/folder name in set_metadata/set_perm lines exists in your BASE ROM or not, for instance SEMC devices do not have a firmware folder in vendor and if you set permission for a file/folder that does not exist in your ROM then probably you would be getting a Status 6 error while flashing.

IF YOU ARE HAVING BOOTLOOP THEN COPY THESE LIB FILES TO BASE ROM FROM PORT ROM:

Step 9:

If you are porting ROM's which have features like say, Xperia Walkman, then those apps have their dependencies too.

So copy all unique files(which are only in PORT folder) from following folders of PORT to appropriate Folders of BASE:

lib

etc

bin

Now just zip the BASE folder flash it and post it! :D​

IF YOUR BASE ROM HAS ISSUES THEN YOUR PORTED ROM TOO WILL HAVE ISSUES.

DON'T FORGET TO GIVE CREDITS TO THE DEVELOPER OF PORT ROM..

IF IT HELPED YOU THAN PRESS THANKS AND RATE THIS POST 5 STARS... :)

Cheers :)

How to logcat?

Many of you are having problems while porting and I know that those problems cannot be solved simply by guesswork..
