[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0penfred:
I successfully updated my modem ONLY using Odin.

I can't recall when my problems appeared, but I upgraded the phone to Kitkat to solve them.

I suspect the XXELKB modem became obsolete (maybe between CM 10.0 and 10.1 ?), as modems are never upgraded when using custom rom.

Lastest modem from a 4.1.2 Stock rom (august 2013) is

PDA: I9300XXEMG4

CSC: I9300XEFEMG2

MODEM: I9300XXEMG4

Modems are only updated when using Stock Rom (OTA or Kies way).

So I upgraded my modem manually using Odin.

Odin, because I took the modem.bin file from the official Stock rom (.tar.md5), and then used Odin to flash the .bin file.

(xda forum thread 927568)

I do prefer this method, as I trust sammobile, and prefer a bin file from them.

It is possible to find some modem.zip files on the net, usable to flash using CWM, but the source of those files is unsecure !

In Odin 3.0.9, modem.bin need to be entered in CP field (click on it, it proposes PHONE FILE *.bin, *.tar etc....)

Check Re-partition is unchecked (NOT checked) !!!

GO.

Remark: In my case, flashing using stock usb cable (provided when buying the phone) fails (as usual)

I used a genuine Samsung cable bought for 1 Euros on Ama..n: Ref.: APCBU10BBE

The next few days, I will use the phone, check the Data, and made long phone call from where I known I had issues.

Cheers

Fred

Read this post from nkk71 and you'll understand why you can't update.

There is probably some missing or modified /system or /data/preload (like said above) files missing or modified. thats why you can't update.

You will need to go back to stock to apply the ota update.

You can follow nkk71's guide linked in my signature if you want to go back to stock.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] joegalaxy66:
Hi,

I got a Galaxy Y from a friend and I was trying to MOD it. I discovered that the internal SD is not available... and no way to get it back. I tried to wipe data, hard reset, stock firmware upload with ODIN but no way to get the internal SD back. I tried ADB in order to try to push the ZIP files in a ROM folder but of course no permissions as it's not rooted.

So, no way to root my mobile without copying the files to the SD?

Thanks in advance

Joe
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
I dont know what you mean by internal sd - galaxy y 5360/6102 doesnt have internal sd - it uses a mico sd card to which you will find the slot if you take the cover off and look on the right hand side of the phone

place any files you want on the sd card either via card reader or usb cable

please note that questions should be asked in the question and answer section and NOT the general section
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] joegalaxy66:
Thanks Marcus,

I did not know the mobile had no internal SD.

That's the kind of information that saves a lots of time and work!

Thanks again.

Joe
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] joegalaxy66:
Ok,

I tried to use a Miscro SD on the GT-S5360 but there was no way to have it acccepted by the phone.

I formatted the Micro SD (Sandisk 2G) in many ways (full formatting) and it was mounted OK with all my other phones (Galaxy S, LG L5II, Huawei) but not for the Galaxy Y. I tried to format the card with the other Samsung too but it did not work.. :(

I've read a lot around about the "blank SD" issue on many mobiles and tried some of the suggested tricks but with no luck.

So, assuming there is no way to have a MicroSD installed on the phone, I resume the original question:

- Is there any way to root the GT-S5630 without an SD card?

Thanks in advance

Joe
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
well unless your sd card slot is damaged there should be no reason why it shouldnt work

the sd card needs to be formatted in fat32

there best way to do it is to inset your sd card into your phone

goto phone settings

storage

unmount sd card (sd must be unmounted before you can format it)

format sd card

you can also format it via your pc using a card reader as long as its fat32 but its best to format it using the phone or format it again using the phone as sometimes cwm may have problems mounting the sd card if you use something else to format it

You might find universal root tools via google but the quickest most simple way is just to use a root zip file and flash it in recovery or cwm
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] joegalaxy66:
Thanks Marcus, your replies are very quick :).

I tried formatting the SD card FAT32 with different Allocation unit sizes, always full formatting, never quick.

The SD card is recognized as BLANK SD CARD (or unsupported filesystem) when inserted with the phone ON. The same occurs when I switch ON the phone with the SD card alredy inserted. The card is never mounted

The internal formatting functionality of the phone seems to be not working at all. The function FORMAT SD CARD is enabled but when launched it lasts just few seconds and nothing happens (the card is not mounted neither automatically nor by hand).

There could be some compatibility issues between the card and the phone and it could be worth to buy another SD to test the phone card reader again, but I'm not confident it will work.

allocation unit size is I think 16 kilobytes but just select default - quick format is fine if the card is not damaged

you can try using mini tool to delete the partition on the sd card and create a new one and format it to fat32

you can then try reformatting it on your phone after

Thanks for your help Marcus,

I will try to buy a new one tomorrow and see if it makes any difference...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lsdyna:
Hi,

I did TWRP recovery backup of my ROM and it told me that the backup file will be stored at data/media/TWRP/BACKUPS/.....

However when I boot into Android and could not locate such folder/file in file browser. I just saw a 'TWRP' folder in root folder but nothing is inside the folder. I think the backup file is somewhere since within TWRP recovery it is there ready for restore.

Anyone can tell me why this happen? Thanks a lot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] topherk:
In TWRP, are you doing the backups to External Storage?

In my experience in TWRP, I haven't seen the backups being done on the Data partition; they are always in either the "sdcard" or "extsdcard."

I use ES File Explorer, and here is the location of my Backup File:

Notice how it's in the /storage/extSdCard/ partition, not in the /data/media/ partition. Maybe that's where you should look... If you're saving it to "internal storage" in TWRP, then you may want to check the /storage/emulated/0/ partition.

Also, notice how the file date is really old (1979). That could be a good search criteria for you to use to find the files if the above is unsuccessful.

I hope you can find it!

maybe all your space is being taken up by pictures and videos check by going to settings then go to storage to see what is taking up all the space if it is pictures and videos buy an sd card and move them all to the sd card and set the default place for the camera to save to the sd card.

Alas, that's not it. I've got an SD card, and internal storage has over 19GB free. Like I said, I'm illiterate, but I don't think that the flash storage where you'd potentially have things like media files has anything to do with available RAM.

It's not referring to storage but to memory/ram. Mine says that sometimes, sometimes it says "Device memory is currently moderate".

[Galaxy Note 3 Developer Discussion [Developers Onl] StNickZA:
Hey there,

I hope that you don't mind me posting here, but I figure that this is the best place to get some assistance. I'm attempting to port CM11 to the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition (SM-P605). This is a very similar device to the Note 3, and as such, I've started by forking the Note 3 device tree. This is the first port that I've attempted, so I am very new to all of this.

I am using the Samsung stock 4.3 kernel sources for my device. When I run "make recoveryimage", everything seems to work fine and I get a recovery.img file. However, despite fiddling with all manner of settings in BoardConfig.mk, I cannot get it to boot. It just gets itself into a bootloop, saying "Recovery boooting..." at the top left, and then rinse-repeat.

I suspect that my problem lies with the ramdisk, and/or the ramdisk offset. The following is taken from the Note 3 BoardConfig.mk.

# Kernel
BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE := console=null androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31 msm_rtb.filter=0x3F
BOARD_KERNEL_BASE := 0x00000000
BOARD_KERNEL_PAGESIZE := 2048
BOARD_MKBOOTIMG_ARGS := --ramdisk_offset 0x02900000 --tags_offset 0x02700000
BOARD_KERNEL_SEPARATED_DT := true
BOARD_CUSTOM_BOOTIMG_MK := device/samsung/hlte/mkbootimg.mk

I presume that those offsets are different per device. After a bit of research, I came across an app called unmkbootimg which can supposedly tell me what I need to know. After feeding it my boot.img, I got the following result.

unmkbootimg version 1.2 - Mikael Q Kuisma <kuisma@ping.se>
Kernel size 7536872
Kernel address 0x8000
Ramdisk size 1375263

Please modify mkbootimg.c using the above values to build your image.
****************
Extracting kernel to file zImage ...

To recompile this image, use:
mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk initramfs.cpio.gz --base 0x1dfff00 --cmdline 'console=null androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31 msm_rtb.filter=0x3F' -o new_boot.img
---------------

I've tried 0x00200100 and 0x2000000 for ramdisk offset (purely because I am not sure which one is correct there), but both give the same result (ie. nothing).

I've also tried outputting the log to the LCD with

BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE := console=tty0,115200 fbcon=rotate:1 fbcon=font:VGA8x8 androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31 msm_rtb.filter=0x3F

This made no difference at all either.

I'm not sure what else to try, so I'm looking for any suggestions please.

Hey everyone,

I have a problem.

Long story short, my phone decided to commit suicide.

It seems the battery doesn't want to hold a charge any more.

I guess I have to have it sent to Sony to get fixed or replaced (Does anyone know which it will be?)

I need to check if my bootloader is unlocked or not because of course I can't send it off unlocked.

Before it died, it was on official Kit Kat from Sony, which I put on with Sony Update Service because the phone was in a boot-loop which I couldn't Flashtool out of.

Would the SUS have re-locked the bootloader and unrooted it completely?

Is there some way to check the status in my position?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
It will only be relocked if you relocked it.

Flashing with sus or pccompanion will not work with an unlocked bootloader anyway

If it was unlocked, it will still be unlocked

does your phone turn on at all?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brownman33:
Well before I flashed with SUS I was using TWRP, which I thought needed an unlocked bootloader, but am hoping I'm wrong.

Yes, but only for about a minute at most, after having it plugged into my PC for about 10 minutes I can boot into Android but then it'll just shut itself off again, it's constantly at 1% until it dies.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
You seem to not know what an unlocked bootloader is?

You do not need an unlocked bootloader to have root

Did you go trough the process of unlocking your bootloader through the sony website about unlocking the boot?

If not, then its not unlocked as you have never tried to unlock it.

If you can boot up the phone

dial *#*'7378423#*#* and goto service info / configuration. The last line will tell you the status of your boot.

Have you tried flashing the most recent 757 FTF using flashtool?

Hey everyone-

This is kind of a crazy question, but if anyone can answer it, I have a feeling this is the right place! Do any of you know of an app, an ADB command or a setting that will allow me to verify that on my Verizon device, I am connected to AWS? I know that when I am in an AWS (XLTE, whatever) market, the general flow of things is my phone would connect to both 700mhz LTE and AWS and have an aggregation of the two. But other than a speed test, is there any way to show that the device is really attached to the two different frequencies?

Thanks for any insight and if this is clear as mud, I can try and explain it a bit better.
