[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cgisdepski:
I just flashed this rom successfully yesterday. The rom was stable and working, however I wanted to get the hotspot to work. I used a hotspot mod on a previous 4.3 rom, so I tried it again on this rom. I flashed the MDC Hotspot Mod while in Philz Touch 5.18 recovery. After flashing the hotspot mod, I reboot the system and it is stuck at the "Kit Kat" splash screen. I went back to recovery, wiped everything (data reset, cache, davlik cache) and reinstalled the rom and it seemed to work fine. However, I wanted to get the hostpot working so later in the night I reinstalled a 4.3 rom, and now I can not get any rom to work. When I boot up I am not faced with the Galaxy S4 screen saying:

KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

Set Warranty Bit: kernel

It will not go to the Kit Kat splash screen, I can get to download mode and recovery mode. I tried completely re-rooting the device, Installing different roms and even a different kernel, but I can't seem to get anything to work. At this point, I just need my phone to work and will use any rom. I don't think this is a fully bricked device because I can get into recovery and download mode. I can live without hotspot for now, just need a working phone. If anyone can advise here or help please reply here or email me at cisdepski@gmail.com. This is my daily driver phone and I need it to work, hopefully it is an easy fix like getting a stock 4.4 kernel? BTW this was a brand new galaxy s4 which came with stock 4.4, so I am not sure if installing 4.3 had an issue with it. Maybe using ODIN to fix the problem, I am not sure. I have successfully rooted many phones including HTC EVO 4G, HTC EVO 3D and Galaxy S4( until now) and have never ran into this issue. Please advice anyone!! Thanks!

RE: S4 Sac Rom Issue Please Help

I ran into a similar problem and my device would not boot. I simply just reflashed clockwork 6.0.4 recovery from Odin and was able to get back into recovery to wipe and reflash a new rom. Hope this helps. Note: I selected PDA in Odin. Here is a tutorial to get recovery back.

Good luck.

I just flashed Alliance Rom Build 25. I don't have that many apps installed, but my phone says I've used over 5.7 GB of space. Is this right?

Over 5GB are in the "Miscellaneous files" section. When you click on this, it says 5.67 is used up by System memory.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xredjokerx:
I use an app called "Storage Analyser" to see what big files I have on my phone. The system does take alot of space IIRC, but usually around 2...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kmarht:
I had the exact same thing happen to me except I only had 2gb free after I flashed alliance, not sure why but instead of actually formatting my data it just moved it all off to a folder that was higher than es file explorer goes by default, so I had to change my home directory in es file explorer to / and look around a bit, eventually found all my old music pictures and movies taking up vast space I couldnt normally see.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kwf225:
Greetings fellow android lovers,

I am the happy owner of the Verizon HTC One Max. Upon receiving my One Max I promptly rooted and S-Offed the thing and installed TWRP custom recovery. After about a month the Kit Kat update rolled out and I quickly went about getting the update. However, every time I attempt the update the custom recovery loads and stops me in my tracks.

I know this may be a noob question with a simple answer but Verizon really make a pain out of any type of modifications. I was wondering how I would go about removing the custom recovery and getting Kit Kat. Any help will be much appreciated!! :good::silly:
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] mbcastle:
I installed the GSAM battery monitor root companion. When it asked me to reboot I pressed reboot. Screen then froze and then went black when I hit the power button. Phone is now dead and unresponsive. No lights when plugged into the charger. Sound does play when phone is connected to the computer, and shows in device manager as Android Phone under Other Devices and HTC One_M8 under Portable Devices, which makes me think I can bring it back, but so far no luck. :crying: Phone is rooted and s-off.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] mbcastle:
Phone finally restarted after what seemed like an eternity. I was pressing combinations of the power and volume buttons, and I'm not sure if it was something I did or if the phone just finally rebooted on its own. I wasn't completely freaking because the phone was still showing as HTC_One_M8 in device manager, and not QHSUSB_DLOAD or something like that, but in any event that was pretty scary. GSAM root companion tells me it's now property installed. I've seen at least one other post in the reviews for the app of something like this happening to someone else, so I don't think it's just me.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] an0ther:
Next time you brick, hold vol up and power for 10 seconds with phone unplugged. Then either power on or hold power and vol down to enter boot loader. This works best when not plugged in.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] mbcastle:
Thanks. I was trying to remember the key combo for a simulated battery pull, and I guess power+volume up is it. I think that's what I was doing when it finally restarted.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] andymihail:
With the new isocell camera and 4k video shooting capabilities, I think is mandatory in many situations to be able to use a tripod for best stabilization, since the S5 has no OIS, that makes it even more important.

I want to ask you guys if there is anything on the European market to be used as an adapter for a regular tripod mount (I have a Giottos tripod.)

I know there is a mini tripod from Jobby, but I believe S5 might not fit in it.

Please let me know if it fits when you get it. It seem the tripod adapter producers were not ready for smartphones getting bigger and bigger each year.

Hey!

I noticed that my galaxy s4 gt-i9505 display isn't as good as other s4's. I have compared it with others and mine isn't as bright and the colours are not as good as others. I have compared them at the lowest, maximum and even the automatic brightness and mine is alot worse.

I didn't notice this problem until i looked at a friends s4 and now it bothers me alot :)

Does anybody know what the problem might be?

Thanks for your help in advance!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mezo91:
The problem might be you bought a clone s4 :(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gemu90:
I don't think so. I bought it new from the store. But if it would be a clone how could I check if it is?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] worktorest:
Get your phone rooted and install cpu-z from google play. Check if your specs are correct. All the best. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gemu90:
Thanks! I already have root and have checked it now and it was correct but the colours and brightness is still a mistery :p
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Not sure why someone suggested you bought a fake S4 before asking the obvious....you've checked the screen mode in display settings yes?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bodisson:
Try to set device to "Adapt display" setting and then compare. Or set your device's screen exactly the same way your friends have. But I guess you have already done that...

You can also check IMEI number of your phone on this site:

Hi folks. I'm having problems getting the "Wireless Stereo" function to work with my Mini S....I have followed the instructions in the forums here (installing the cab file which contains the necessary DLL's and updates the registry, having first unlocked the phone) and the "wireless stereo" option does appear but it is greyed out...

I'm using a Bluetake I-Phono BT420EX headset which is A2DP compatible (according to all documentation and various other websites).

Is there anyone who has had a similar problem to this, or had problems with this headset?

Any help greatly appreciated.

W8 bell s5 here. From what I've experienced is that s-health with knox installed will stop working if xposed framework is installed at the same time. In order to get around s-health not working with xposed you have to find a rom that has knox completely removed. Omega seems to be one rom that works great with xposed and s-health!

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otacon239:
I seem to have really strange issues with this phone.

I've tried both C-Rom and Cyanogen and both of them have these same issues.

When I first turn on the phone, it will run, but everything will stutter around at about 1-2 fps for about 2 minutes. I can confirm that this happens even with no 3rd party apps installed.

Secondly, half the time when I go to grab the phone and just check notifications and so on, I'll unlock it and try to press something and it'll be frozen. I have to wait about 2 minutes before I can do anything else on it. The only thing I can do in this time is lock the screen, but not unlock it. I can tell it frozen at a low level because I have a system setting in C-Rom to play a sound when the battery dis/reconnected and that doesn't play while it's in this state. Has anyone else been experiencing this? I've already completely wiped the phone completely once using the return to stock guide and these issues have not been resolved.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fckland:
Had the same problem with stock ROM or tried with GPE? Might be a hardware problem...
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otacon239:
Are you still having these issues or did you find a fix for them? I have the Boost Mobile one, but are you suggesting that I could/should put the GPE ROM on here?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykdr-scott:
Isn't this a memory usage ( ram ) problem that's been mentioned?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Z-WolF:
The first part (FPS issue) happens to me, whe the phone boots, the FPS go down, bad, but the phone works ok, if i put the stopwatch app (CM11) time runs normally but the screen refreshes every half second or more.

Now, the second problem, about the phone freezing whan it wakes up, never happened to me, but i have to recognize that i had a few (2 or 3) reboots just when i waked up the phone and one time it just freezed with the screen off.
[HTC Rezound] xmoox:
This is what i heard at a local store.

Verizon will be cancelling unlimited data for all whose contracts have expired so you have only a few months left. Their new plan is 6G shared, which we don't use each month except this one.

This is what i heard at my local store today do you think this is true? I've been hearing this for the last year it will be gone in a couple months but its still here. I don't believe it i think there just trying to move me off unlimited. Im thinking of trying the bb method with the sim.
[HTC Rezound] vval233:
The only way you'll lose your unlimited is if you upgrade your phone and renew your contract. Renewing for another 2 years allows you to get any phone at a discounted price. If you wanna keep your unlimited you'll have to start paying for new phones at full retail price. This won't renew your contract
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
On the other hand, if you do give up your unlimited they are offering 6GB for $30 under the Max plan. I upgraded my wife to a new phone going this route because she doesn't use much data. I bought a new LG G2 for myself off Swappa to keep my unlimited.
[HTC Rezound] xmoox:
So I was able to keep my data and got an HTC m8 by using another line. They said there not sure how much longer unlimited will last but at least I got it
[HTC Rezound] kmanuel74:
Can you explain that to me? I have two lines with unlimited and two lines with just a basic phone. All four lines are out of contract and can renew, but do not want to loose unlimited.
[HTC Rezound] xmoox:
The way it worked was I asked if I can keep my unlimited. Then they said yes we will use the other line.

1. first they use the upgrade on my line for the dumbphone expanding my contract for two years.

2. Add smartphone to dumbphone line which will add a data plan to that line(will be removed later).

3. Move the phone over to my number and move my info to a new SIM that will fit.

4. put dumbphone back on the dumbphones original line and remove the data plan.

5. Put SIM from your line in new phone and Walla you have kept your unlimited data.

[Android Apps and Games] cygnus:
Is there an app or method for backing up and restoring group messages correctly? I currently use MyBackup Pro for backing up data and apps. The issue I run into though, is with restoring sms messages - particularly group messages. It restores everything as individual sms threads based on the contact. It merges individual threads with group threads. Is there a way to avoid this? A way to have them restored exactly how they were when they were backed up?
[Motorola Droid 4] Britlantine:
Hi, I am on the latest stable version of Cyanogenmod (10.2) and am having problems connecting to my Mac. At the moment my Mac mini (mavericks) can only see the Droid 4 for about 5 minutes after rebooting, then I get the message that the disk has been removed without being ejected. I am connecting by USB (though am happy for Bluetooth or wifi suggestions).

Disk utility cannot see the Droid 4 or its sd memory card when I plug it in, only on a freshly booted phone.Don't think it is the memory card as I have tried it with other cards. Likewise I do not know if it is Cyanogenmod or an app that may be causing this.

Oh, and of course when I get round to posting this the phone has stayed connected for an hour without disconnecting. The last time it did this was when I installed Cyanogenmod.

Has anyone else had this problem and managed to fix it? Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpshptl:
When I reboot the phone it hangs on the splash screen. So then I go into twrp and do a few things but still cant get back. I end up doing a full wipe and install my backup. Backup installs but upon reboot, it bootloops between the splash screen and trying to get to recovery. I see the blue twrp page for a sec and then back to splash screen and so on and on. Then I cant access twrp at all. I can only get into bootloader.

This happens no matter what ROM I use. So then I have to use fastboot to install twrp. Then use otg in twrp to install a new ROM. The new ROM installs fine and everything functions normal. But if I were to reboot and especially when the phone is left in fastboot mode, the whole cycle starts again.

My phone was fine a few days ago. It was stock running kitkat and not rooted never did anything to it. Then the phone turned off and got stuck at the splash screen. I could not do anything to recover the phone. I ended up being able to root so I did and here I am

Does this seem to be a hardware problem? That's the only thing I can think of. Everything gets wiped on the phone and loaded from a jump drive.

The phone is fine BUT...

1) Rooting, flashing etc. was just too much of a hassle, and currently there is no way to root/flash without tripping a non-resettable flag losing warranty in the process.

2) The build quality is...

I'm looking for an alternative phone, the S4 was awesome except those two points. I like playing around with my phone (rooting and stuff) but build quality/durability is also very important.

What phones are there around? I'm thinking of getting a HTC One M8, but supposedly it's got bad quality control and you cannot achieve s off as of yet.

So what are my options?

Well if you like to mess around with your phone, Try to buy a Nexus 5, Which is easy to root and has many different Roms even after a couple of years (2/3).

The Nexus 5 is one of the most followed phone by devs of custom roms.

Sounds like you would be happier with a unlocked nexus device. If you are like me and don't have 500+ to buy one of these, I'd go with the M8. It is a great phone and I am pretty sure they have it fully rooted. Obviously there isn't much out rom-wise for it but that will change.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muhammad.uzi1994:
So just out of curiosity and for the sake of information, I need to ask one thing . Are the partitions present at the base of the phone namely /acct, /cache, /config, /d, /data, dev , / devlog, /etc, /firmware, /mnt, /proc, /ramdump, /root, /sbin, /storage, /sys, /system, /tombstone, and /vendor (present along with /sdcard and these partitions can be viewed using ES File Explorer) read or write protected? i know that /data and /firmware partitions are read protected on unrooted phones and /system is write protected. But what about the various other partitions that i mentioned? are they read or write protected as well? Any help to clear up the confusion will be appreciated.

PS: i know that these partitions are important so i'm not gonna mess with them but i asked this question just for information :)
