[HTC Wildfire S] crackpot360:
Ok so guys i had just rooted my htc wildfire s (or atleast thought i rooted it ) and was trying to install a cyanogen mod ROM , it would not install ,if it would install it would be stuck at the htc logo screen , now i thought this would be the fault of recovery so i decided to install another recovery and flash that with cmd (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) but then when i booted in recovery it would show me the pink recovery, i got a little scared and flashed another recovery and now the recovery will not even boot . it will just go on htc logo and black screen , i tried many different recoveries but no avail , it is in s-on right now , please forgive me if this sounds noobish i really am a noob at this .please provide me with a solution and tell me if it is bricked and if i can repair it by taking it to a software shop and asking them to do it for me (Just advise me if i can come back from this)
[HTC Wildfire S] parasthakur37:
Flash the first recovery, which actually worked, and if it installs, wipe everything and flash a basic CM7 rom. It'll work. It's just soft bricked don't worry. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] crackpot360:
actually i gave it to a software store , he said he couldn't do it as the files were not to be found ... i think it might have been bricked but seeing as i can access h-boot only and when i turn on the phone it only stays on the htc logo screen and does not proceed can you call this bricked . ? i tried the first recovery as you mentioned but it was no use ... i tried relocking and unlocking bootloader again but it seems as if that was unnecessary as nothing different happened .. im still waiting for an answer
[HTC Wildfire S] parasthakur37:
This is really very weird.

Start from square one, unlock the bootloader, flash the recovery, if one doesn't install, try another, at least one will surely work, and then flash a new rom.

All the best.

Remember, android can never be bricked, there is always a way out.
[HTC Wildfire S] crackpot360:
thank u for the quick reply but i donot know how but i just flashed an old recovery and voila it worked .. now i am a little scared to proceed please guide me what to do to bring back the stock rom ...
[HTC Wildfire S] crackpot360:
ITS DONE

i finally got it to work thank u so much i used jelly king rom on it and it worked :DDDDDD

I need some help with my computer. After I installed the HTC USB Dialer to get internet access to my laptop via my Wizard, the damn dialer application keeps popping up even when the phone isn't connected. For instance, i'm at home, surfing the net- (on my wireless-g access pont) and sometimes the dialer will pop up saying there was no dial tone. Is there a setting to fix this? -Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] snootch:
I figured it out. If anyone has a problem with it autodialing while loading a page uing another connection; open the network connections window, then advanced, then dial-up preferences. Uncheck "Enble autodial by location" and check the box that says "disable autodial while I am logged in". That should keep the HTC Modemdialer.exe from trying to autodial when using another connection.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Rebel60:
Need help fixing my phone asap. I have messed it up & it won't boot.

Ok, here's what I have done so far. I have Galaxy S3 T-Mobile that was running CM KitKat 4 when I bought the phone. The version I had was built Nov. 2013 & was mostly stable except my gallery would crash & could not open video files. So I tried several times checking for updates for stable releases, none to be found. I installed CM installer on phone & downloaded the portion to run on my PC, but I would ever time I tried to run the file I got an error code 2275. So after numerous attempts I gave up, yes, antivirus & firewall was turned off.

This morning I when into my phones update CM feature & chose a different download but still stable. There were several & I chose the newest one listed. I think it was 10.2.1 Download began, message came up about manual recovery, I chose to do the download, which it did, just don't know where it put this download. After it completed it rebooted my phone & then it got stuck in the logo bootup mode & would not go past this screen. I removed the battery several times, did reboots etc, nothing.

Got home & finally found how to get into recovery mode using the home, vol. up & power button & am not in CWM v. 6.0.4.3. I have looked at several YouTube vids on how to use this & I did a backup to SD Card. I have looked in the install zip folder for the ROM, but I can't seem to find it.

So how do I find it? what is my next steps to do?

I understand that I am suppose to do a factory reset/wipe data, wipe cache partition, wipe Delvik cache & then install zip of the ROM. But like I said, Don't know where else to look. The only files I see or my photos, Andriod/data. Nothing called CM 10.2.1 etc. I did download this ROM from CM.org onto my pc, but the only now that I can get it onto my sdcard is I will have to buy an SD card adapter so I can plu the card into my PC & then copy the zip file to the card. Being the state my phone is in right now, I don't think plugging in the USB cable will allow me to drag/drop the file onto the phone Sd card.

Can anyone help this lost beginner?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Check to see if you need to mount the sd card in recovery. You said it is not cwm recovery, what do you see instead?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Rebel60:
Sorry that was a typo. I do have ClockWorkMod Recovery & that is as far as I can get at this point. I can see my photo files listed when I open the zip file, I just don't see the CyanogenMod ROM which I chose to download & it appeared to download & run, but after it rebooted the phone shows Samsung Galaxy SIII CyanogenMod splash logo & then the boot logo which is the blue monster head & has a arrow that spins clockwise around the Cm logo head & that is all the phone will do. Will not go past that.

I looked at all the choices given in the recovery mode for the zip file & I don't see any. Even tried the sideload, nothing. I just did a mount SD card from recovery mode. Still no files showing a CM zip, still only files are the data/ photos.

I am guessing that I should not have to wipe cache, data/factory reset or anything in order to find the zip file? It should be there somewhere.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Maybe try a different recovery like twrp?

---------- Post added at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 AM ----------

If you factory reset, you may get it to boot again. If you choose format data, internal sd will be wiped as well.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Rebel60:
Got phone back to working

Thanks docHoliday77,

I removed my SD card & did a factory reset & it rebooted & shows the update. I now have version 4.3.1 with Kernel 3.4.66 from Monday 2/3/2014 CyanogenMod version 10.2.1

The phones shows 2 updates available,Snapshot M2 & M3.

Should I go ahead in install those?

Do I need to do both or just the M3 (latest)?

Thanks again. One Happy Newbie & now I think I know how to do this upgrade stuff. I have learned a lot.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Not sure about the updates you mentioned. I dont use cm or aosp roms so I know very little about them. Sorry.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] wingdo:
In the Note 10.1 (2014) forum as well as a few other 10" tablet forums people complain about the fact the resolution on the 12.2 is the same as on 10.1" devices. I hadn't really thought much about it until tonight. I was sitting at my desktop which is a dual monitor setup. Desktop is a 27" iMac with a resolution of 2560x1440 and a gorgeous 27" widescreen Samsung monitor at it's max resolution of 1920x1080.

A pair of 27" monitors, one which lets me do very detailed pixel peeping in photoshop (iMac), and another which is so crisp and stunning, and still with very easy to read text (The Sammy). Neither of these 27" beautiful screens has as many pixels as our lil' tablet. I don't want this to be a debate regarding PenTile as that is not the point. Just saying that the resolution on my Note Pro blows away every desktop and laptop (as well as other tablets) I own.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] rkirmeier:
People will complain about anything. Can't make everyone happy and some people think specs are more important then real world results. too bad for them. Love this tablet and couldn't imagine going back to a little 10 inch!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Duly.noted:
Yep. My beautiful full hd 60 inch tv is only 48 ppi and 1920x1080 pixels. Never complain :)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] knite75:
Supposely, Apple will release a Macbook Air 12 inch with "Retina" display. When I checked the resolution, it's the same as our Note Pro 12.2.

Samsung marketing department should have named our tablet the Galaxy Note 12.2 Retina LOL.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] eug:
My 12.5" 1920x1080 laptop looks much sharper. My 12.2 is noticeably jagged at closer viewing distances, even on straight lines like the light brown line surrounding this reply box on XDA.

PenTile is the reason. I would much prefer a 1920x1200 RGB stripe screen over a 2560x1600 PenTile screen.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] skyhigh73:
I have note pro p-901 and my wife has note 2014 p-601. Both of them have great resolution which is better than any laptop I have used...

And of course better resolution than Ipad air with retina display (my ex-tab)....

I like sammy tablets and I think Tab-S has a brilliant sharper screen than Note Pro...
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] hajime_android:
I used to be very very worrying about the resolutions before I purchased this device. After I bought it, I have been satisfied with the resolutions.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ChironexFleckeri:
With people having 2k res smart phones it seems the world is about numbers rather then immersion any more. I don't get also. I love the screen on this bad boy. I never understood the rat race on numbers and packing as many pixels into a small screen as possible. When will it get to a point of crazy, as in you wont be able to see the difference with the human eye..

Well by that time we will have robotic eyes and then complain that the screen in our new robo eyes are are not as pixel dense as the ones the billionairs have. :cyclops:

Now I do like bright colors alot so I love the look of samsungs s5 screen.. Over saturated colors are great to look at imo. Though 2k Samoled screen vs 1080p Samoled screen I prob wont really see the hype.. I will focus on the colors.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Deliximus:
same here. The resolution is already insane. Could it be better? Obviously. But no way I am going to ***** about this.

4 mins? A 2k trailer or what? Link please, my dad has the air and I'd love to fully blow him away once and for all
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] eug:
Would you be happy if the screen was 1280x800?

Put the Note 12.2's 2560x1600 screen next to a 12.5" laptop's 1920x1080 screen, display the same small text like on a website or document and see if you can tell the difference. It's not the resolution that's the problem, it's the pentile layout that makes it look jagged.

You really can't see the pixelation caused by the pentile layout? I can clearly see it on smaller text at normal viewing distances.

Just because your eyes can't see them doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

You might find this research paper interesting too:

Hey, am in dire need of help. Was rooting and flashing new recovery and boot.

I accidentily flashed recovery.img to boot.

I quickly reflashed the boot to correct img, and recovery image to recovery, but I am now stuck in a boot loop.

using this link: https://docs.google.com/folderview?id=0B6WBFlAKqe30LXJ1UGZUM1p5aHM&tid=0B6WBFlAKqe30YnFxVHVHMFo1X0k

I got a stock boot.img and recovery.img and reflashed, but am still stuck in a boot loop.

Can someone please help me out, or at least post new boot.img and recovery.img?

I never did a backup as this is far from my first time installing custom roms. I used fastboot.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] UrbanRunnerX:
This is my first tutorial that worked for me. Majority of us all have been having LTE issues with these d2LTE Roms and this fix has worked for me been over a week strong now.

Install or revert back to a Touchwiz or any ROM that you had LTE working on.

Download 'APNs Backup' sorry I didn't post a link. You may have to install busybox, I had to for it to work. If you have to then make sure you reboot.

Allow SU permissing ,then choose where you want to save Internal or External. Then reboot to recovery and restore the ROM having LTE issues.

Reinstall 'APNs Backup', give SU permission and choose the location you backed up your APN as stated above and click restore.

After your restore reboot your phone, if LTE is not working make sure in your mobile settings that CDMA+LTE is chosen then reboot.

By now your LTE should be working. Those are the steps I took and my LTE has been strong since, working so far for over a week, and this is working on 4.4.2 Roms.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope this has worked for you as it has me, once I get computer access I'll post the link to the app for quicker access.

Link to app:

APNs Backup
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _newb_:
Hi, im having the LTE issue as well.

I read the APN Backup & Restore description and it says the app must be converted to a system app before it works.

Did you have to do this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] UrbanRunnerX:
No, I had trouble with 'APN Backup & Restore, there is a app called 'APNs Backup' just search what I have in the quotes, The 'APN Backup & Restore' app doesn't work at least for me, I've tried converting to system app in every way possible, and I get a error while trying to back it up. Let me get a link for 'APNs Backup' then all you have to do is follow my tutorial, you don't have to convert anything with mine steps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Struck:
On KitKat you have to move the app to /system/priv-app, not /system/app for it to work properly. Straight from the description on Play Store.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _newb_:
Oh okay. I found "APNsBU" when searching in quotes. I don't see any special requirements there, besides BusyBox.

I saw the info about 4.4 but was asking about the NOTE below that in the description.

I will give one or both of these a try and report back what I discover.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _newb_:
I can confirm this works. Took a bit to bring up my LTE connection after following the process, but I now have LTE. Works on an hlte (Sprint Note 3) with SlimKat 4.2.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kalala:
Any clue how long it will be? Most of us have had this issue for a few weeks now and this back up APN app hasn't quite panned out for me. I'd rather just rely on a reliable fix from the dev.

Was it just recently announced with no ETA or is it something that was announced some time ago and we are getting closer to a release?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lvpre:
Fix just got merged. Should be in the 17th or 18th nightly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kalala:
Perfect. Thanks.

The past few days put me in a dark place. I decided that I had had enough of nightlies and debated going back to a the stock 4.3 ROM with root. I was ready for Touchwiz but also a better camera (I've heard CM will never have the same quality because of proprietary drivers) and finally LTE.

No LTE does that you....:silly:

Just did this fix and now I get "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" every 2 seconds..=/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Beejis:
Make sure if you are installing the new cm11 nightly with the merged fix you do a clean install otherwise it may not work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] No4g4Me:
ok how i did it was go back to jelly bean activate 4g update prl and profile and back up apn...then back to kitkat install apn app and then convert apn app into a system app then reboot phone then activate lte 4g and delete apn and then restore apn then reboot phone. good luck try that.

---------- Post added at 09:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 AM ----------

oh also theres a menu in the corner of the apn app select it and check the ics check skip so the apn app can do its thing i had issues with it denying me deletes and restores so this worked after for me.

Sounds like more then what I had to.

Are we good to update yet?

i have a question, i cant edit the apn settings, i have tried the apn backup, made it a system app, move it to system/priv-app and it can backup and restore apn even on 4.4.2 firmware, the point is, whenever i edit the xml file with my carrier parameters and restore the apn the list of apn just deletes, theres nothing there, but if i restore the original xml file (sprint apn) the lista of apn appears, i have tried other workaround, i have installed the shortcut maker, made the apn shortcut and it will let me see the apn list, but it doesnt let me edit or add a new apn. please help...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] justabiggun:
Try the galaxy tools apk. You can change your sales code, thus enabling you to change apn
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ZipAddict:
If this is a 5.1 rom you should be able to select "reset to default apn" then a list will appear again. When u add an apn it will not be selectable until you add the word default to the apn type value. Then hit save and that apn will have a circle next to it on apn list that you can select.

If this is not just change instances of "mms.sprintpcs.com" to whatever your carriers web address is.

Some carriers need an apn.zip file you flash in recovery like ting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] danielpsx:
Hi, thanks for your help, i tried selecting defaul apn, but not luck, the apn list doesnt appears....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ZipAddict:
Ok try editing the sock apn that works somewhat. Make sure you change evrything that you are supposed to. You might have to change the protocols to ipv4/ipv6. Make sure under apn type it says... default,mms. When you hit save it should be selectable if not already selected. If this doent work download nova launcher and try everything all over because some people have had success with nova showing apns and saving better. I confirmed that this worked about a month ago with a friends phone but it was a different phone. Hope it works. Let me know
