[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brad003:
Strange problem I am having.

I am running Eclipse 3.0 on my Galaxy S4 (4.3) on SafeStrap 3.71 in ROM-Slot 1. I purchased Nova Prime - and tried uninstalling the launcher to install the prime, was unsuccessful and every time I attempted installation of it, the phone would reboot. I have referenced several threads and nothing allows me to uninstall the launcher. I thought this was a problem just with Nova, until...

I tried installing my paid version of Titanium Backup (cause that was a suggestion to use to uninstall the launcher) and even after uninstalling the free version, I went to install paid version, restart occurs without the installation.

Also, just tried to install my purchased version of XDA Developers, same thing. The download completes, but in the middle of installing, it reboots.

What could this be? Let me know what other information you need.

(NOTE - I just switched from my droid bionic to this S4 that I purchased from someone)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brad003:
:rolleyes: I am running 3.0 when there is a 5.1 available. Oh dear. Will flash the updated ROM and let you know.

Update: Unable to get that ROM up and running. WIFI would not turn on and network wasn't showing. Looks like I am having to learn from scratch this phone I have. Nothing going to be easy... yet...

In order for phone not to reboot you must install xposed and the module play store disable encryption on order to stop the reboot when installing paid apps this is a issue with the ROM on GS4

Safestrap users will need to use Modaco's paid app encryption module for now

Hey guys. After a while of using my Nexus 5, I noticed that when I take pictures there is this bubble on the screen that also gets on the pictures. I ruled out software due to any camera app that I try had the same bubble so I was just wandering if any of you guys know how to fix this?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
What can we suggest?? You yourself have ruled out the possibility of a software bug.. So, it's obviously hardware related. You could try blowing air near the camera circle or near the headphone jack...

If you have experience in opening up a device, you could try cleaning it yourself or send it in and let google/LG take care of it...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laconical:
I did a search and have found similar threads. However, people seem to have been intelligent and back up stuff or installed recovery apps before screwing around with their phones. I did not.

I have a Samsung Note3. Kit Kat 4.4.2 installed OTA once I had it up and running. I rooted it. However, the version of Kit-kat has a famous issue in that it would not allow apps to write to the SD card. I found a site with manual instructions to edit the platform.xml to overcome this issue. The site is as below:

winaero.com/blog/unlock-external-sd-card-writing-for-all-apps-in-android-4-4-kitkat/

However, something went awry after rebooting. I could not see anything on my SD card and I was unable to edit the platform.xml. A solution seemed to be to flash the ROM (using ODIN 3.07). I did this and currently have Baseband version N9005XXUENB1 and Build Number KOT49H.N9005XXUENB7

However, the still has lots of issues. I can stick in a password on wifi and connect to the network but it does not actually communicate with the internet. The H with up and down arrows appears for 3g connectivitiy but also does not work. Bluetooth does not work. Youtube has stopped working errors are common. I am unable to install any apps as cannot use play store, etc. I have pictures and mp3s on my SD card but gallery comes up empty as does music app. The only "file explorer" I seem to have is "my files" app. It comes up as empty (although it shows Total storage available for both SD memory and device storage as using 25/32 and 22/29 respectively.

I am guessing that flashing the ROM did not remedy the corrupt platform.xml in the permissions folder. I think the folder path was etc/permission/platform.xml although am not an expert with android. I was hoping someone might be able to give me a solution to fix the issue. Preferably a completely fresh and clean wipe type solution. Although as I am a "newbie" the greater the simplicity of the solution the better. :)

Apologies for the length of this issue!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Sounds like a bit of a pickle. Since you know that Odin is working and the firmware you have at least flashes correctly, I'd consider installing a custom recovery, backing up EFS folder (and the rom too, just in case there is some weird issue with Odin the 2nd time around) , then wipe everything - /system included. This will make your phone not be able to boot up at all because it will wipe the OS off. Then just boot directly to Download and redo the firmware flash. Something else to consider since you do have the international version, is that some of the firmwares you install might be more carrier or region specific, so there might be a better option to install. I know that there is a some slightly newer version that has NC2 in it as I was trying to fix one of these phones the other day that could not register on any network and ran across that build. Do you remember the build number of the software before you started modding?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laconical:
Hello. Thanks for the reply.

I am going to ask what are probably very obvious questions but I am a little out of my depth.

1) What does installing a custom recovery involve?

2)How would I backup the EFS directory? When I had ES file explorer I would have been able to try and find it. However, as it is I do not know how to find the directory and back it up. I have connected the phone to a windows laptop and it shows up as note3 but there are no folders or files visible in either the phone or on the card.

3) What is the procedure to "wipe everything"?

I think the final part I know how to do with ODIN. Just go to download boot and load and run odin with the ROM. :)

I got the BTU ROM is that not for the UK? I tried looking up what NC2 was but did not really find anything the explained what it is.

Thanks again and sorry for the ignorance on my side.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Let's put the custom recovery and all that on the back burner for now.

Was your phone unlocked from the factory or did you get it from a carrier? If from a carrier, which, and is it unlocked now or you are still using it with the original carrier? This one is for Vodaphone http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=27401 but if you are unlocked, it should work anyway, I believe.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laconical:
Thanks to the people for their replies. I managed to solve the issue as below.

As mentioned previously I had flashed using ODIN and BTU version of N9005XXUENB7. The only other thing that was then required was to enter the recovery (I think power + volume up + home and then release power once samsung name appears). I then selected wipe data/factory. A reboot later and everything was solved.

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 old (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. Odin is the only thing i can use. but i dont know how i can reset the xml files on my phone.. What exactly am i do to?

please

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbcomer:
Same boat here. Please someone help!

I am having exact same problem. After editing the platform.xml, my Note 3 is behaving the same way: no access to any storage area (including USB drive), no remote access/online access (even though WIFI and 4G appear to connect just fine), most apps fail with 'Unfortunately ... has stopped' error message, no Google Play...

I really don't want to do a factory reset, but really, does it even help? Is there a way to put the platform.xml back? Is there a way to access the phone via USB cable?

Update: I went ahead and successfully install the all-in-one file to the phone via Odin, but it still has the same issues. Can someone give a hint? thanks

FIX!!!

Hi I'm a god at searching(hence the Go)but an Noob(hence the obie) to Dev on Android but a computer techy(in other words I fix computers upgrade ETC.) Now if you followed EXACT instructions you SHOULD have the Backup copy of platform.xml. If not reply and I'll give those instructions.

So I did the same as this post did to get my issue as well but there's a SOLUTION I just found W/o getting rid of your loved files and its easy!

1. Download the ADB also included in The Android SDK by Google (approx. 3XX MB)

2. DOWNLOAD Root Explorer.APK

3. Extract ADB Dev kit( name should be roughly adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702.zip)Note: I prefered it at C:\Android it avoided Name too long error ;)

4. Open CMD Type: cd C:\<location ADB was extracted>\sdk\platform-tools(if you followed my note it will be "C:\Android\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\platform-tools") and press enter... HINT TO COPY PASTE IN CMD RIGHT CLICK SAVES TIME!!!!

5. Install Root Explorer so you can backup your files(if any) I was unlucky having none on the phone but SD storage is ok!

To do this type ADB INSTALL <Location of Root explorer.exe> For standard windows users with default download locations it would be "C:\Users\<USER NAME>\Downloads\Root Explorer v3.1.9.apk" <COPY PASTE :D

6. Copy the original back to System>ETC>Permissions and overwrite

7. Factory reset!

Links?

Friends it happens often that while flashing custom roms we brick our phone..

but its very easy to unbrick samsung galaxy y lite duos

to do this you need to have the following

1. Stock rom packages see here... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2140717

2.odin from here... http://d-h.st/1TM

after downloading above files simply open odin in pc and make sure you're not going to change any default settings in it

and in the PDA simply use the stock rom which you have already downloaded from above it is in the .md5 format

connect your phone to pc make sure you're in download mode to do this simply switched off you're phone and press volumeup+power button+home

all together at the same time and when you're in the download mode plug your phone to pc via usb odin will detect your phone.

after all this click on start odin will flash your stock rom for you and notify you when its done!!!:D:D

process is very easy its happen to me a thousand times and i love flashing custom roms,kernels there many available in the site just search it.

ask anything regarding gt5302 i will definately help you.

Hi all,

I've a D802 32 Gb. Up to now ( 2 months ), I've used only CM11 / Aokp / Pac Man / Bare Bones / Paranoid Android roms...

I've NOT changed my BASEBAND up to now. It's possible to know...

1) there's an updated list of basebands ?

2) used rom is not important for the baseband, right ?

3) it's possible to flash the baseband with TWRP ? Or what method is required ?

4) flashing baseband erases all or not ? Just to know if it's better to make a nandroid backup before...

It's easy, just follow the directions in that post.

This would be the OTA out of the box rom from Verizon so it would have all the bloat and stuff in it I'd assume. The big question would be is this source exactly the same as the leaked 24A KK rom. If it is there's no point in re-flashing it if you're running 24A already.
