[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatBoyNate:
hey xda dudes and dudetts

i recently acquired my sisters old s3 which has a dead nand chip, due to SDS.

i'm just gunna buy a new logic board but i was wondering if theres anything to look out for, fakes, cheaper places than ebays £75-£80, board variants that kind of thing, seeing as i know very little of this phone i need you guys help, compared to the iphone 5 and note 2 this phones got alot of good reputation.

thanks -fatz
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Look for a good seller reputation, where they have lots of previous buyers of motherboards which actually work.

Otherwise you are taking pot luck on blocked imei, wiped efs, damaged emmc chip, blown charging circuits etc.

I've seen posts asking about motherboards where the advert is just the bare board, no fitted IC's or components, also where the emmc was blank and no imei -both being totally useless.

That looks quite correct. What happens when you try to mount /data manually?
[Asus Transformer TF700] giza1928:
Thanks, good idea. But unfortunately, the error message isn't very detailed:

mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /data
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 on /data failed: Invalid argument

I also tried to check the filesystem with e2fsck:

~ # e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
e2fsck 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)
e2fsck: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Is there any message in dmesg after trying this?

What do you get from "hexdump -C -n 2048 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8"?
[Asus Transformer TF700] giza1928:
No, no messages in dmesg after the mount command, only updates like this:

<4>[ 81.890682] cpu ext_temperature=26

The output from the hexdump command:

~ # hexdump -C -n 2048 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

00000800
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Funny. Normally the superblock should start at offset 0x400. Yours appears to have gotten wiped.

Try the same command on mmcblk0p1, mmcblk0p2, mmcblk0p3, mmcblk0p5 and post the results just to find out what's going on.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Yes. All other partitions except /data look normal - p1 is /system, p2 is /cache, p3 is the bootloader command partition which is usually empty, p5 contains device configuration in a FAT32 filesystem.

Try formatting /data from the recovery, then reinstall your ROM (which will format and fill /system).
[Asus Transformer TF700] giza1928:
Ok, do you mean the format command I can select in recovery? Because it says:

Formatting /data...
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format...
Done.

But can I maybe use mke2fs or something similar to format /dev/mmcblk0p8? If so, could you tell me what options I should use?

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I have no experience with CWM; apparently it sucks. ;)

make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

should do it. Assuming that CWM ships with a make_ext4fs binary.
[Asus Transformer TF700] giza1928:
Thanks, that worked! CWM does ship with make_ext4fs, I flashed Cyanogenmod and it booted successfully! :victory:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Viking8:
I figured I would post my experience with a sudden bootloop. My tf700t was unlocked and rooted a very long time ago and I've used a few ROM's since doing that. First was CROMI-x then Cyanogenmod 11 nightlies then CROMBi-kk and then I switched to ZOMBI-x.

I installed Zombi-x using F2FS file system and never had any issues except for the usual mind numbing lag from the horrible IO issues.

So just last night (12/21/2014) my tablet froze with a light grey screen and about 10 seconds later it rebooted, but it kept rebooting over and over. I tried cold booting, but that didn't help, so I booted into CWM (ver. 6.0.4.7) and tried to do a wipe data/system reset, but the tablet would just reboot part way through. I tried formatting the /data partition directly but it caused the tablet to reboot as well. So a few other posts around the interwebs led me to the conclusion that I needed to get rid of clockworkmod and switch to TWRP.

Thankfully I was able to connect to the tablet using fastboot, but only in Linux. (my Win7 PC saw that something was there, but it wouldn't let me install the driver)(http://lifehacker.com/the-easiest-way-to-install-androids-adb-and-fastboot-to-1586992378) So I installed TWRP 2.8.3.0 and used it to do a complete wipe. It started the format but had several errors about not being able to mount /data and then it said it was formatting Data using ext4fs. I've read that it should only take 5 minutes or so, so you can imagine my worry when 5 minutes past and then 10 and so on until it finished up after a little over 30 minutes, so if it's just sitting there, there's a good chance it is actually doing something, so leave it be for awhile and don't forget to check your battery, you don't want your tab to shut off suddenly!

I reinstalled CROMBi-kk and let it boot. Much to my surprise it booted and the resulting performance was nothing short of shocking!

So far this thing is running like it NEVER has before! The lag so far is so much less than ever and things open and close very quickly!

So without any surprise here, I won't be using F2FS anymore for fear I'll have corruption on the internal storage again! Thankfully TWRP came through for me. So if your tf700 is bootlooping and you still have fastboot, try installing the latest TWRP, it may just make the difference between a functioning tablet and a brick!
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The long time it takes for formatting and the performance gains are actually related. Creating the filesystem takes probably less than 5 minutes, but then the recovery does a "trim" on the free blocks - telling the eMMC that it may discard the data in these blocks and erase them. Erasing flash memory is slow. But following write requests by the booted ROM will be much faster because they can be written directly without prior erasing and shuffling data around.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
So the performance boost after formatting /data is temporary until the emmc again has to shuffle data around when it gets write requests?

I thought f2fs was supposed to take care of that?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Using f2fs should increase the time until the eMMC has to shuffle data around because it does less random writes. But when all blocks have been written once, something must be erased to rewrite more. The permanent solution is to run fstrim regularly (I've seen some comments in the Android source code that runs it automatically from time to time) or to mount with the discard option, and to leave a reasonable amount of space free (10 to 15%).

hey guys

I decided to flash back to stock today and recovered my backup but it wouldn't boot so I turned the tablet off and put it into it's bootloader and tried to flash a stock image but fastboot refuses to flash anything to the tablet at all :/ i can't at this point boot into anything any help?

I can for some reason put the userdata on and off but nothing else will flash onto the tablet :S

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rox598:
Yeah I know all the commands and stuff and how it all works I've been using fastboot and adb etc since launch of the nexus 4. There's no output the commands just stop for instance when I use the flashall.bat from the factory images it wipes everything but won't put anything actually on the tablet it just hangs at the first sending and never finishes it just hangs there.

I've tried flashing the files manually swell but again they won't go on. The only thing that does finish is userdata.img but nothing else finishes going on the tablet at all :( turning on the tablet it vibrates twice and just boots onto the bootloader and nothing else opens not even the recovery :(

EDIT: Hooooly smeg it actually started working! it's alive again :D
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Not trying to say you don't know, but the more information you give the better your help would be

Knowing what bootloader you have and if unlocked or not will help determine proper steps

Knowing the exact input/output can help as well as knowing the os you are using

Also if tab was working 100% before the attempt to return to stock, prior recovery and rom, any other issues you have had, etc

But its fine if you don't want to post this

Next steps would be

Make sure fastboot binaries on PC are up to date

Quality USB cable

Check md5sum for files you are to flash

If manually flashing stops at sending what happens when you manually erase?

What happens if you just try and boot a recovery through fastboot?

The more info you are willing to give the better your answers will be

Best of luck
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rox598:
Oh I apologize if I came across as being rude it wasn't my intention :)

It's all ok for some strange reason on the 50th odd attempt it finally started taking the data from fastboot. for some reason before hand when I tried manually the command would just sit there as "sending recovery" or whichever i tried and wouldn't move even waited 20 mins earlier just incase. i'm not sure at all what was happening there but now it's booted and fine :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamaradski:
Hi all,

I have a question about what version of stock to flash.

- I have rooted and flashed Slimbean on the phone ages ago.

- Back then i runned into a problem where the new modem version was flashed into the phone, and had the IMEI problem etc..

- I could not remember what version modem was installed originally. but i managed to got it working with i9300xxemg4

Now i have some problems with Slimkat or CM11, so i want to flash back to stock, before making the update to kitkat.

- I found the original stock on samsung-updates dot com, but i am not sure if i can safely flas the following version:

Region: MBC (germany)

PDA: I9300XXUGND2 CSC: I9300MBCGND1 MODEM: I9300XXUGNA8 CHANGELIST: 2429075 BUILD DATE: 02.04.2014

My phone being bought in Germany, should logically work with this modem and firware, correct ?

Or should i continue to look for a version that offers the same modem version i have installed currently EMG4 ?

PS: I will be flashing with Mobile ODIN pro, i guess this should be no problem ?

Thanks for any help in advance,

kamaradski

Hi

Just a tip a wanna share.

I use Holo Launcher HD instead of TWiz Magazine i removed.

But impossible to have a beautiful wallpaper with great HD definition. Crop tool blurs my wallpapers everytime.

So, to have something great to fit this great screen resolution, try this tip.

Download Simple Image Wallpaper from Google Play :

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ridgelineapps.simpleimagewallpaper&hl=fr

Define a 2560*3200 image, but only the middle will be displayed !(center your 2560*1600 image in the middle of your 2560*1600 image). Wallpaper will not scroll.

Find Simple Image Wallpaper under Animated Wallpaper (Long press on home screen)

Define your wallpaper.

You've got hi res wallpaper now !

Here's one of my favourite sample :

One more thing about unlock. In the registry editor Policies key, you also want to add the following:

Now add a new DWORD value '0000101b' and set it's Value Data to 1. (It probably won't exist on your device, but if it does then just edit the value)

This sets the security model to Single-Tier, which will actually app-unlock the phone without having to edit the other two values listed in the guide (although I always change those as well just to be safe)

Hey folks,

I have been into this app which has a lot to do with calendar and dates.

I am still confused about the libraries available for it, I will be requiring the calendar to have following features:

- The calendar should change (by month) when I swipe UP or DOWN

- The boxes of month should have specific colors according to the events of that particular day, eg: red for urgent issues, green for vacation and so on

- The boxes should also have ICONS like weather updates for that particular date

- A LIST VIEW of the calendar will also be needed

If anyone has seen any which can accommodate these features, do let me know.

Cheers

[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] andras_k:
Hey Alex,

for me, these seem more like programming issues, rather than library ones.

For the first one (The calendar should change (by month) when I swipe UP or DOWN) implementing a gesturedetector is the best way to go Imo.

The other three are simple coding issues, like setting backgrounds, drawables and implementing a listview.

As a tip, you should check out a library we made called "CalendarWrapper" (sorry, I can't yet post links, search for it on GitHub). Basically it's a wrapper around the CalendarProvider, so there's no need to mess around with cursors, everything can be done with object methods. It lacks a few features though.
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] Booink:
I don't think there are any ready to use libraries with these specific features, so I'm afraid you will have to build it yourself. There are a few date picker / time picker dialogs floating around, or android-times-square from Square, but you'll have to look into extending it with the specific features like image overlay support for the weather/icon.
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] markbravo2014:
caldroid

Have a look at caldroid, it does not have all the functions you seek but is very customizable.

Since you are asking for too much in one library, you will have to do a lot of coding on top of any library that you choose.:D
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] alexander2020:
thankx

Thankx guys, CalendarWrapper did give me something to look into but caldroid has almost done the job for me.

I have finished the bulk of the job with caldroid now it is printing images inside the dates and list view left.

I do know where to start for list view but printing icons inside boxes could be tricky:rolleyes:

Will update you guys when I am done with the APP and put it on play store.

Ok guys, here is a fully functional S Note from Samsung Galaxy S5. I have installed it on my N8000, with 4.4.2 and everything is working perfectly, not a single force close. Recent notes, importing notes from my Note 3, and effects, everything is working. Install it as normal apk, you don't have to delete old S note. I have both of them working. Bear in mind that interface is little bit smaller, but actually it looks better this way, in my opinion, much cleaner :)

if it refuse to install normally, push to system/app and set permissions rw-r-r, then reboot. Only for 4.4.2 TouchWiz Roms!
