[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonagpa:
I feel like this is a very basic question but I'm going to ask anyway, just want to make sure its the right direction before proceeding/researching and perhaps it would help others who may be looking to do the same. Hopefully I am posting in the right area, as this question should apply to any android based device.

I want to make a custom factory reset so when I

factory reset

my phone, it would revert back to

almost

factory settings, except with a few alterations. For example: some extra apps (maybe settings within those apps already selected), certain android settings already selected (developer tools, unknown sources etc), superuser with permissions already granted for certain apps, basically things beyond the scope of just pre-installed apps.

I understand the phone would need to be rooted, I would want to keep the original rom with the above mentioned changes. Of course I can always make a backup and simply load it, but I want to know if it can be done through

factory reset

. I only have experience rooting and loading custom roms (on many devices :D, I've always done so since droid 1) but I have never made a custom rom, which from my understanding, is what I need to do to for something like this.

Basically if you guys can tell me if I am in the right direction, completely off track and where should I go from here to make it happen.

Thanks!

I just installed CarbonRom:

Flashed boot.im,

factory reset with ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.4.7 (wipe data/factory reset), wiped the cache,

installed both CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140602-0102-endeavoru.zip and gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip.

Everything went well, but wifi can not be activated. It is grayed out.

Do I have to use another kernel to get wifi to work?

If yes, how do I flash the kernel?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
try faux aosp kernel

flash the boot.img and install the zip in the recovery.
[HTC One X] muhkobb:
Thanks for your reply, appreciated.

Would this be the correct kernel?

I tried to upgrade my rom but the process crashed. The utility mtty doesn't work because when I connect the universal, boatloader mode by the cable, to the pc, it says "USB not recognized" (sometimes when I connect the computer is frozen till I disconnect the cable of the universal)

Please, I tried to have some solutions in the forum but all the posts indicates is needed previously the usb connection.

Do you know if should be possible to run the flash of the rom in other way, for example using a serial cable connected into the miniusb of the universal, because the boatloader screen says "Serie, v.1.01"

I apprecite what you can say please, I'm really in a hole.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] venusforu:

Try taking out the battery for a few minutes (10-30mins) and reboot your PC then repeat upgrade process. Hope that helps. Good luck!!!

I have the same problem on my PC at work, it's caused by a poor USB chipset in the PC, or trying to connect through a USB hub.

The only thing I found that worked was to try a different PC, then it was fine...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] beginner:
In my case it still happening in other computers. Conclussion: some piece of the software in the universal has been lost. The screen shows "Serial" that means on some way that is opened to comunication but not USB.

My questions are:

- should be possible to put some starting software in SD and do the universal boot on it.

- do you know how to connect to the computer COM! port from the usb miniport of the Universal.

I appreciate, I was not planning to replace now the Universal...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] zedino:
i have the same problem with my friend's uni

does it mean that you don't have to own any adapter, just have to install drivers for USB to RS232 adapter

if yes, where to find it?

thanx

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] beginner:
I want to say that is running after doing some things and obviously some of it solved my problems. I made:

- unistall last version of activesync and go back to version 4.0

- delete all the applications using ports usb.

due the connection still not running (windows message: device not recognized) and because in the screen of universal I saw: "COMM1" I tried to connect from computer port rs232. By that I purchased some special cable, name: hama brand, rs232 serial, 9 pin - usb.

As you can imagine all the steps I followed were followed by the typical restart of windows. In this sense is important to say that the universal, after connect, need to do a soft reset each time (again windows....)

Other comment is that I unmark the option to connect by usb in activesync and mark the connection by com1.

and after all was done, connecting by usb the unniversal, kill wcescomm, windows said "NEw usb device, sync device". I started mtty and now appears the USB option, great! same time the screen in universal changed from comm1 to usb, more great....

and that's all.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] zedino:
does it mean you solve your problem using special USB 2 RS232 connector?

ZeD

PS: it was my first idea :), but i still believe i can solve the problem using USB port
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] beginner:
I think my english wording was not fine. I mean I solved my problem after install the sofware -drivers- of the rs232 connector, but connecting to the universal by usb as on standard way I was syncronizing previous the crack with activesync.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] shrubbery:
I have had the same problem several times now (search the forum for the thread).

I tried three different PC's/laptops and three different USB cables all with the same error as yourself.

Eventually I got a connection but the laborious process of trying - failing, restarting windows and soft resetting the phone, trying - failing........... until it finally worked. I did nothing differently the time that it worked but the strange thing is that it has worked every time since! Maybe the USB driver the phone has a bug in it that causes it to get 'stuck' in a mode where it will no longer correctly operate but once you have managed to 'kick' it into action it seems toi then carry on working.

It was also a ROM upgrade that caused my USB phone driver to stop functioning. Maybe the fact that the phone has a slightly diffferent software configuration after the upgrade but exactly the same hardware fingerprint causes the driver to fail.

Every time that I have had this problem it is after an upgrade but once I have gotten it to work once with the new ROM, it always continues to function - until the next upgrade.

I've searched all around this forum and haven't seen anybody with this issue.

I cannot find the Find My Mobile Setting, which was supposed to be on

Settings > Security > Remote Control

.

Does anyone know if this setting was suppressed on SGS5 or just on T-Mobile's SM-G900T? How to enable this setting?

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
It isn't there on any of the carrier branded phones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] breni:
Thank you very much!!!

Sorry for bothering you, but I have a few more questions. I am from Brazil and these modifications on Android made by T-Mobile really bothers me:

1) If I install a custom Rom, will fix these problems (T-Mobile's modifications)?

2) Do you know if there is a Non Branded Firmware for SM-G900T or any other stock firmware compatible with this model?

Thanks for helping me!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
1. Depends which rom

2. Yes, anything in the international S5 section on XDA is compatible with the g900t. Those will remove all the tmobile modifications.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] breni:
[MENTION=3688559]aooga[/MENTION], you really helped me. Once again, thank you very much!

Last questions, I promise :D

1. Depends which rom

So, what you are saying is that depends on which Android this Rom is based, correct? For example, the AllianceRom based on SM-G900F is a free modifications Rom, is that right?

2. Yes, anything in the international S5 section on XDA is compatible with the g900t. Those will remove all the tmobile modifications.

I downloaded the stock firmware of SM-G900M on the international S5 section, but I couldn't flash it without Root. Should I root my device first?

Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
1. If it is based on G900F software, then yes, the tmobile stuff will be removed. That's the stock international phone.

2. No need to flash the whole firmware...things can go wrong with that. Just flash a rom in TWRP (custom recovery). Don't use odin for anything. Yes, you need to root and install custom recovery in order to flash roms. Again, do NOT flash anything in ODIN. Find a rom that is flashable in recovery, not a firmware that's flashable in odin.

Hope it helps. :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tp2215:

Which rom based on the original Android and without the T-Mobile modifications you suggest me to install? I'd really appreciate if you could help me once more.

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tp2215:
Well if you are referring to an aosp based rom that isn't TouchWiz then there isn't over yet. My rom is the project infinity rom. The only real differences between the international roms and the t mobile roms is the t mobile roms have WiFi calling and HD voice included. Check the Android development forums for either and compare them, they all focus on different things and have there strengths and weeknesses.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:

Hello,

I think my S2 is bricked.

Yesterdaymorning when i pulled it of the charger it only displayed the samsung logo.

When i rebooted it, it would only stay on the same samsung logo.

Download mode was ok, Revovery mode also and i wiped the cache and put it back to factory settings.. after that it rebooted and it went black. When i was in recovery mode it said : Failed to mount system (or something like that).

I cant in any way get into recovery mode or download mode. I also tried a Usb Jig .. and that didnt work either.

What on earth could be the problem.

I rooted it once last year and tried a rom or two but after the JB update i went for the stock kernel and firmware.

Im kind of a noob in this and very stuck .
