[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isamarcial:
Still the same

I really appreciate your help, but I can't fix the problem yet.

With CWM I can't make a factory reset, when I try to make it, it restarts the phone and it stuks on the first screen.

I have flashed stock ROMS with odin and it says PASS but when the phone boots It always stucks on the first screen.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EmptyArea:
Fear not.

I am fairly confident this will work, but read the whole post first

You tick erase all nand as well as the usual two options. Then boot into recovery (should give warnings about unmountable /data) and wipe data / factory reset. Then reboot and it should work / odin a stock rom as normal.

If that doesnt work / or instead you get the correct pit file and flash it as well as the rom and have four options ticked: pit, erase all nand + normal two.

If someone gave me their phone with the same symptoms as yours and said: fix it right now that's what I'd do. I'd also warn them I really need to do more research before doing this and using these two options in odin could brick the phone forever.

I hope this gives you lines of inquiry. I found many mixed messages with the erase nand option, most said nothing of merit except don't do it, some said you must wipe data first (which u can't), some said exactly what I've repeated, some say a pit is enough, others had many steps and files ive never heard of to solve the same issue. There is a large thread in the S3 forum about this, even got mentioned on xda proper. My brief cookie crumbs journey did not return any note 2 threads.

Remember one thing, before using odin, double check every detail. Battery, cable being used, files being used (right ones, md5s), right options ticked, computer is in good health, internet is off, Kies is not running. (I'm sure ive missed some)

Solved

I install again the stock kit Kat firmware and the problem was the same, but this time I boot stock recovery and there I made factory reset and that's it. Problem solved and Note boot normally.

Thanks for your help

With or without erase nand in odin?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isamarcial:
No, I just flashed normally as all the stock firmwares
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EmptyArea:
I see, thought you'd rule that out. Disappointing really. Glad ur sorted anyway. Remeber wiping data is important when changing roms, even if it's not always absolutely necessary.

Hi,

Does our HD+ support BT 4.0 on CM11? I know it has the HW, just wondered if it has the driver/software support.

I know it was asked down the page but that was against CM10. Wondered if it was supported natively on CM11

Thanks.
[Xperia Z2 General] Pitchb3nd:
So after some very confusing moments I just figured out that the Z2 screen is polarized so when holding the phone in landscape for example while taking a picture, you can't see the screen if you are wearing polarized sunglasses.

Here you can see it in a video I made:

http://youtu.be/kSWo7yLdfwU

This is the first time I see this in a smartphone, it's a little bit annoying, anyone knows the reason?, maybe the polarizing filter in the screen of the Z2 is what makes it a little bit dimmer than the competition?
[Xperia Z2 General] pauliebb:
pretty sure its to make the screen more visible under water... maybe.

edit: just googled, most phones have it now to stop glare from sun. thats it.

I know polarizing glasses stops water glare.. not sure how itd work under water though.
[Xperia Z2 General] pauley:
After seeing this first hand today it's a definite deal-breaker for me, as every pair of sunglasses I own are polarized, and I have no intention of changing that. I never had an issue before seeing the screen of my HTC One X & One M7 outside wearing sunglasses & taking photos in any orientation. Since the Z2 I received this week has a gap the size a credit card will fit into on the bottom left & both cameras are very off center I was going the exchange route but after noticing this today, no thanks. It's really a shame, maybe a future Xperia will be better though.

I found a review that mentions this issue on Pocket Lint: http://www.pocket-lint.com/review/128493-sony-xperia-z2-review

FWIW I have read elsewhere that the HTC One M8 shares this same issue too.
[Xperia Z2 General] KrisPerry:
It is pretty daft considering most holiday snaps will be taken in landscape with the sunglasses on.
[Xperia Z2 General] Don MC:
I guess Sony missed this one. Almost all LCD displays have a polarizing filter, but they are usually set to polarize at 45 degrees compared to sunglasses (or vice versa). You can try this by looking at an LCD display (not the Z2, obviously) or your digital watch through your sunglasses and then turning the glasses slowly.

BTW, my Google Nexus 7 tablet is also polarized at 90 degrees. I can see nothing in landscape view.

But my computer display and even the LCD in my car dash can be seen clearly. Unless I tilt my head 45 degrees.
[Xperia Z2 General] pauley:
Exactly! I've hated the camera on my M7 since day 1 and I was excited to finally upgrade to a phone with a high quality camera. Little did I know at the time the Z2 would also be useless on sunny days for taking photos :(

That's pretty interesting, I never really knew how that worked, thanks! I have noticed in some cars I couldn't see the nav screen with my sunglasses on, and I just thought it was a poor quality screen, luckily in my Jeep there's no problem at all though. Now I must find a phone with a legible screen for taking sunny day photos.
[Xperia Z2 General] x102x96x:
i

i wanna report this;

at first moment of using my XZ2 i tested this But Display was visible in all angles under polarized sunglasses.

compared by Note3 & Nexus5 >>

XZ2 is better than n5

but worse than note3 while wearing polarized sunglasses

i installed normal visible screen protector (comes with ultraFit Spigen Case)

:good:
[Xperia Z2 General] Don MC:
Then your sunglasses aren't polarized, because the screen definitely is.
[Xperia Z2 General] juicejuice:
If you research LCD technology you will see a polarizing filter is required to make the screen work. If you then have polarizing glasses then you will have this issue. AMOLED technology is superior in this respect because it does not involve the use of polarized light.
[Xperia Z2 General] Ozonep:
Oh, this explains why I didn't have such a problem with Galaxy S4!..
[Xperia Z2 General] joshnichols189:
Is it really that big of a deal to put your sunglasses on your head for the ten seconds it takes to snap a picture?
[Xperia Z2 General] jeremy.shi:
Well my polarised rayban does work with the phone when it's in horizontal orientation. It's just quite dim, but it's not completely dark like the one on YouTube.
[Xperia Z2 General] x102x96x:
i

i m sure about it cause i tested sunglasses polarization

anyway i got that result and it s good for me ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] beni8978:
After updating to .323 i don't have this problem anymore.
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
[Notsureifserious.jpg]
[Xperia Z2 General] beni8978:
Hahah,maybe it's because i put the screen protector.

But I could watch it in landscape on my rayban polarized sunglasses.
[Xperia Z2 General] seh6183:
The flaws you mentioned are present on almost all Z2's, so you aren't going to find one without flaws. Also if you are going to avoid a purchase of a phone strictly because you can't lift your glasses up for 3 seconds to snap a picture once or twice a month, then I wish you luck with your other life endevours lol From what I understand most phones with LCD's have polarized screens, so you may not be able to find one that doesn't have it. The Z2 is a great phone I wouldn't consider anything else.
[Xperia Z2 General] nadimsoze:
Z2 is probably polarised for sunlight legibility. My tablet Z is also polarised in the opposite plane.

Ok so i have run into some troubles with my rooted One X and want to flash Ruu and start all over again.

But i cant seem to find my baseband in the RUU section here.. and a little confused as which one to download.

My baseband shows 5.1204.167.31 and im rooted with the stock 4.2.2 sense 5.0 , software number 4.18.401.2

i am located in Norway so i guess its one of the Europe Ruu's.

Edit: do i get the stock recovery as well when doing a Ruu?
[HTC One X] aromerblz:
There is no RUU for android 4.2.2. HTC will never release one either. Better look for a nandroid back up.
[HTC One X] Clawsman:
great ! :(

so now im stucked... i just need to get the stock recovery so i can get the new software update with the heartbleed bug fix... software update 4.18.401.4 12.03mb .. is the another way for that... a file to flash maybe? twrp recovery.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
You on your stock rom and only need the stock recovery ?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zytyrh349mmkz45/Stock recovery 4.18.img

Flash that and apply the ota again.

Thank you. That solved my problem and i got the OTA installed :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikctsh:
Guys I know this is long but PLEASE don't freak out! I really need some advice from you experts on this! I hope you could spend your time reading everything here and give me some advices! Thanks!

Phone details:

Model number: GT-I9300

Android version: 4.3

Baseband version: I9300DXUGNB1

Build number: JSS15J.I9300XXUGNA5

Hello guys, since I'm not really a rooting expert (previously I rooted a motorola device), I would like to ask for some advices regarding rooting our S3 because I have only one phone and I can't afford to brick it.

1. So basically I'm referring to the guide here. However, that rooting guide is for Samsung Galaxy S3 on I9300XXUGNA7 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, which is different from my build number (I've checked software update on my device over OTA and Kies3 but it says I have the latest firmware), will it works for my phone? Also in the guide it says to use odin3 v3.09, however in CF_auto_root page here it says to use odin3 v1.85, so which one is working for my device or which one is better?

2. Next I would like to ask is it necessary to install CWM recovery to replace the stock one? After searching around, I found that there are some people who installed CWM recovery even before rooting, is that even possible? So basically to install CMW recovery I think I will follow the steps here, is this working for my device?

3. Okay I know this is the dumbest question... but is there anything else I need to do after the above 2 steps (flashing kernel, modem etc.)?

Thank you very much for spending your time reading my post. I hope you can clear those doubts for me!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ag4751:
Flashing your phone in any way doesn't guarantee not bricking it, see this thread

Scroll down to the quoted section headed Quick Root from there

Download Odin

Download CF-AutoRoot for your phone

Read the link on rooting

It is really straight forward just read up on it but don't read too much into it a frighten yourself
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikctsh:
:D

Great that thread helps a lot! I cleared most of my doubts now, but one more question please, after rooting, I wished to install ported apps like S5 launcher and accuweather, and in order to install these I need to flash from recovery. Is it possible to flash this using stock recovery? Or I need to install custom recovery like CMW?:p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
You can't install anything with stock recovery, you'll need a custom recovery.

Make sure you have a full nandroid and efs backup before you flash anything -ported apps can break the framework and produce bootloops.

Seriously though, all this information is available in the sticky or by searching -why do need people to write it all out for you?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikctsh:
Thanks for your information. I did search around and try to understand the things myself, but still there are some doubts remain, that's why I opened this thread hoping that someone can clear the doubts for me. This is my only phone and I really can't afford another (I'm from a low-income family), I just want to make sure everything is alright so that I don't mess up my device. Thanks for your understanding :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatcarrotcake:
If this is relevant for Samsung galaxy s3, I got this done the other day using Odin to unlock and root, ran the root app to confirm root. The ROM manager to found CWM recovery flash. So far all good, should take 5 mins in all but an hour in prep and homework.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Don't use rom manager, it can soft brick your phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexVat:
Hello! I agree that it would be better NOT to use Rom Manager. Many users had problems because of it. The safest way, in my opinion, is to flash a custom kernel using Odin. For example, I had stock rom and used Odin to flash boeffla kernel (not advertising it, just saying what I did) because that kernel had both a .tar version and a .zip one. I downloaded the .tar version and flashed it with Odin by putting the .tar file in the PDA column. That's for root.

For recovery I'm using PhilZTouch and I love it. It supports both JB and KK roms and that is preety cool. Also it's full touch so I don't need to stress my hardware buttons. It's also available as .tar file so you can flash it with Odin just like the kernel.

That's how I'd recommend anyone to root and install a custom recovery on a Sammy phone because I believe it's the safest way. PS: before launching Odin make sure the phone is NOT connected to the PC and that Kies isn't running in the background (use Task Manager to check) Goodluck! !! ;);):thumbup::thumbup:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikctsh:
Wow, that's great. By saying unlock, do you mean unlock the bootloader? Wait, is the bootloader locked in our S3?

Thanks! Will check out PhilZTouch recovery :fingers-crossed:

Currently struggling with deodexing/odexing the stock rom, after reading around I can differentiate between the odex and deodex rom, still digging on how to deodex a rom though (since I want to install some S5 mods). After searching around, it seems like titanium backup can do the deodexing/odexing just nice :confused: Gonna do some more preparation, hopefully I can have my device rooted by this week :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexVat:
You could flash PhilZ Recovery and make a nand backup of your rom. This way you'd have an emergency copy if something goes wrong or if you break something in the system. Just my thought :D

Recently I bought a micro USB to LAN adapter for the 8.4 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Micro-Mbps-Ethernet-Adapter-Tablet/dp/B00AKXE59E/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1399975910&sr=1-1&keywords=lan+to+micro+usb+adapter

But, when I connect to to my router, I'm unable to connect to the internet via LAN as "Ethernet" is always greyed out in the menu.

I'm pretty sure in the past when I connected a laptop, I just plugged in it and away it went.

So I don't think I need to alter anything on the router.

Is there a way or enabling LAN on the tablet, should it self enable when the cable is connected or is the adapter not suitable ?

Thank you.

I did the same and after a few days of trying to connect it finally worked - for one day! Now the ethernet option is greyed out again, so it does not seem to be the gadget but the tablet. Also had been using an external keyboard and mouse which quit at the same time. So much easier to troubleshoot a real computer. You just dont have access to anything but the 'user friendly' interface with these devices!

I have mine working with a Netgear 624. The problem may be that you need to upgrade your wireless router ROM for support. EDGE is good enough for me, so I dont use the WiFi too much. it is nice to have. Also if your wireless is a G make sure you have the registry hack for it.

Have you set it up for LAN connection?

You should have a shortcut to your conections manager on the bottom taskbar. Check you have the wireless connection activated

Hi guys, had everything working swimmingly after getting a replacement HDX from Amazon (due to screen flicker) and the replacement came with Rootable software! yay!

Anyway, even though I was running on Rom Slot 1 and not the Stock Rom, when I used the Wipe function it wiped everything - stock and slot... I hadn't created a recovery of Stock Rom (yes, I didn't RTFM... but I imagined I could ADB push the amazon update file and go from there... ADB was too intermittent to do this and when the HDX booted again I stupidly accepted the Kindle Fire System Recovery and tried to "recover" when there was nothing there...

So now I have the silver Kindle Fire logo... I do get MTP USB Device showing up on my PC (but can't get ADB to connect etc) and can also boot into Kindle Fire System Recovery (but the device doesn't then get detected on the PC)...

No it won't wipe the stock slot. What you did was wiped the working rom slot & then rebooted into it, where no OS is, because, well, because you had just wiped it. Try Unbuntu for adb access.

When a ListView in my app is empty, the emptyView is not showed. I set it via the .setEmptyView() method. It happens only on Paranoid Android.

I checked with the last beta to date, don't know about previous versions, with a Nexus 5 and a Galaxy S4.

Stock android 4.4.2, on which the ROM seems to be based, is not affected.

If I manually do

mEmptyView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

the view is displayed at the right place; so the layout is being set properly. The display-empty-view/not-display-empty-view logic seems to be messed up though.
