[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] BryantTheDefiant:
Lost my recovery mode:

Was running ICS 4.2.2 / thought i would change things up for variety and elimination of bloatware and here i am.

I made the mistake of following a post from 2012 involving the following:

• Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G SGH-T769]

Download and install Odin3 1.85

Download the PIT file •

Download the TAR file of the stock firmware (UVLB7)

That was after i soft bricked the phone with this:

Before anything of course you'll need the files and here they are:

ClockWorkMod Recovery

Blaze Pit

Odin 1.8.5 Zip

SuperUser Zip

Then went here:

•	Galaxy S Blaze 4G Kernel

•	Blaze PIT file

•	Odin 1.85

Now It's booting past start-up screen, then throwing errors at set-up of phone like: Sorry The process com.google.gapps has stopped unexpectedly. Please Try Again

Force Close?

Like i say, I have download mode , No Recovery.

Sure would like some input...:cyclops:
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] njstein:
Have you tried to Odin back to stock?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] BryantTheDefiant:
Lost recovery mode

Sorry, Replied with wrong button. Seems to be my problem alot lately!

The Answer is YES! I'm willing to try again and again. Not sure if this is health though.

Odin said it Passed and it did reboot. and get to the set-up screen of the factory firmware.

It's coughing when you begin the set-up. Almost moves to the next screen, then throws a warning it cant find something.

When flashing back to stock i used these files at the same time.

SGH-T769-UVLB7-hitsquad.tar

blaze.pit

But, it was flashed with clockwork file before it soft bricked.

When it was soft bricked it would go into the two modes, Recovery and download.

I was trying to reach recovery mainly to clear factory data?

I'm really not sure what should be the next step in a circumstance as this..

:confused:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Yes , I followed directions exactly. I am willing to try again though, and now that you mention it... I will.

Oden told me everything was Success. and the phone auto reboot as indicated in directions. Currently, it stalls at the setup saying error with

{ the application Google Services Framework (process com.google.prosses.gapps)) AND Calander Storage (process. com.android.providers.calendar)

has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again [force close]

and is stuck there constantly throwing the same errors.

Like is say, I'll run through the setup in post 155 again, and report what result's come next.

Thanks for the help
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] BryantTheDefiant:
Lost recovery mode

UPDATE!

Thank's for advise again, i followed post 155 of the oden thread and the results are interesting.

I did regain temporarily Recovery Mode, Oden placed current samsung factory firmware

T769UVMB1_T769UVMB1_T769UVMB1_HOME.tar.md5

and set-up operated normally.

At That time, i decided to proceed with rooting the phone using

Clockwork Mod or Clockworkmod-Blaze-4G.tar

Passed and entered reboot

Then i placed

Superuser zip or Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip

on a freshly formatted external memory card and flashed it via the recovery mode.

Now the adventure has begun!

The device now goes to the set-up screen to begin set-up and throws errors:

' Unfortunately System Manager Application has stopped."

press ok and after a minute you reach the next screen

'set-up time and date'

press next and freeze

"Unfortunately System Manager Application has Stopped"

press ok and wait

' Unfortunately the process com. android . phone has stopped"

press ok and wait then back to

'Unfortunately System Manager Application has stopped"

press ok wait

'Unfortunately calendar storage has stopped'

and the errors continue...

Currently i'm stuck on the 'Make it Google' screen with those three errors popping up in cycle.

:confused:

Something is telling me i may need to enter recovery mode and clear factory data or settings?

Not really sure what my next step should be..?

Anyhow, I thought i would update the post.

Thanks for all the insight. and post 155 did correct the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Jserrano56:
Enter recovery and wipe factory data and cache if you're on stock recovery. if you're on custom I would suggest wiping cache and dalvik cache...

If you're on custom recovery and feel like trying out custom roms take a look in the development section, the blaze has had really great developers!

or maybe you want a stock feel but still want to explore... Then I'd suggest getting a "stock" rom (stock based rom, slightly modified usually removes all the T-Mobile and Samsung useless apps that just take up space, and these "stock" roms usually include a few tweaks here and there) from the development thread.

If you encounter any more problems I'm here to help.

One last thing if you are on custom recovery DO NOT wipe data unless you intend to flash a new rom. Wiping data will not fix your current problem it will only delete EVERYTHING, YES EVERYTHING off the phone with the exception of your recovery. ONLY WIPE data if you are on a stock recovery because that is equivalent to a factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] BryantTheDefiant:
Lost recovery Mode

UPDATE

You Are Correct!!

What was not explained on the Guide? Remove Battery and Wait!

For me. I was upset that my attempts failed and could not enter recovery mode so i decided to pull the battery and re-think my steps Overnight..

Next day (today) popped the battery in and went for recovery mode. 'result' BING! Came right up, no fuss, no retrying, it was like, Oh did you want this?

Now, Why it did that? I Dont Know!!

Ironically, as soon as it entered this mode I Cleared Factory Data and Cache, then reboot.

Problems? NONE! Entered setup no hiccups, full functionality. Calling, wifi, ect.

Now.. Where to go from here:

About Phone tells me

Model SGH-T769

Android Version 4.0.4

Baseband Version T769UVMB1

Kernel Version 3.0.8-perf-T769UVMB1 - CL990184

SMP PREEMPT Mon - Feb 4 22:32:34 KST

Now, as far as Developers Options, It appears to have additional options, I dont recall what options were available prior.

Anyhow, that where i'm at now.

What are you trying to accomplish? Removing bloatware?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] BryantTheDefiant:
Lost recovery Mode

Yes, I believe there was a thread that mentioned a rooted phone and this App ____ (Memory fails me) would allow the user to freeze permissions? My other interest was a different feel? Iv'e owned the phone for couple of years, passed through a battery or two and have become slightly bored.

There is one feature about this phone i could never manage to operate correctly. and this might be information for another thread.

Near Field Communication NFC

I own a nexus 7 with NFC and the two devices have never clearly passed anything! Only once has my Nexus 7 received a photo from this phone.

I've tried many android market apps, I gave up on NFC and now tether and use Nexus Media Importer to transfer photos and other media.

Yes, if you remember what that app was to freeze permissions or remove bloatware, Let me know. Much Thanks for your time.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] WiKDMoNKY:
I have a client who has a new Tab Pro 10.1 and he wants to know how to stream the screen of his tablet to his TV or PC at his office to use for a demonstration and use kind of as a remote whiteboard. He saw someone doing it at a meeting he went to last week, but did not ask how they were doing it. I have searched all around and it looks like he has to be rooted to do it, but it seems unreliable and I don't want to have to fix or set this thing up every time he uses it. I am sure he wont mind rooting his tablet if it means he will be able to stream his screen. I was hoping Chromecast would be able to do it easily, but it looks like that is not a feature yet and it can only be done fairly reliably through Chrome on a computer.

Has anyone done this yet? What do you recommend?

He has a:

Tab Pro 10.1 (stock)

Intel Nuc running Windows 8.1 Pro 64 connected to the TV

Chromecast

Vizio 70" TV

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Weo:
On my S5 there is an option in the Chromecast app which allows casting. On my Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4, there is no option. I have tested both my S5 and Tab Pro 8.4 with Chromecast. Individual apps, like Youtube and Netflix cast fine, but the Tab Pro won't give me the option to cast the tablet's screen. If you have a Samsung "Screen Mirroring" compatible smart TV it might work (I don't).

On a side note. . . Although I know your client wants wireless, my old Samsung HDMI adapter for my S3 works with both my S5 and Tab Pro 8.4. The Samsung WI-FI All-Share Cast Hub, Wireless HDMI Display Adapter (can't remember the name) might work if you have that plugged into the video source. I didn't purchase it, so I can't test it.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] FlipMarc:
I just recently bought a Chromecast and Tab Pro 8.4. I've been experimenting the last few days.

Basically, casting to Chromecast is going to be limited to apps with built-in Chromecast support. The only way I was able to do screen mirroring was through my WDTV Live set top box. Like Weo said above, you will need a TV with screen mirroring capability. My friend has a Samsung smart tv that he uses screen mirroring all the time.

Here's a nicely put together FAQ about Chromecast: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2563143

I think the only way to do screen mirroring to Chromecast is to root your device and install a hack: http://xdaforums.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193

First: I hate how wm2003SE plays ringtones :evil:

I did bigstorage trick, tested all the testable and got ringtones work (mp3 in storage card) :roll: BUT, I was in searching of some software that can assign mp3 even for sms: tried the one provided by ringo, but as expected I had no luck :(

Then, I managed to install pocket bluetooth tools: great bt app, played with it a bit, but uninstalled it because the audio system thought that a bt headset was linked (and consequently, when I received calls the bt turned on itself)

Then the problems began to come: the default ringtone kept playing even if a picosecond before I changed the ringtone to something else :? after heavy registry tweaking (all related to ringtones, default ringtone changed) I get a wav file to being executed in the storage card as ringtone, and can change it in the phone settings applet.

:D

BUT: I can select every wav files to play, even if it's on a storage card; I can select wma files to play as ringtone ONLY if they are in the \windows folder; I can see all the mp3 in the storage card, but I can't reproduce these in the applet - if I tap the ok button, the applet won't exit because it need a playable ringtone (I think so)

Tried to set mp3 with the excellent wma profiler, playable but not as ringtone; with mortring, when someone calls me I get an error bip sound (with the vibration :wink: )

I don't want do make hard resets or so

, not now that my baby is just fine :cry:

Sh*t of a bugfilled ring manager :x

Any help appreciated, MocciJ

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HansenHimself:
Hi

I'm a newbie here. I have trawled thru 100's of posts in here and elsewhere. What I seek is a stock 14.3.A.0.761 ROM with stock kernel and full root. I know there's a recipe for creating custom ROMS, however those include a CWM, which I don't want, since a recovery means you can't relock the boot loader (or so I've been led to believe browsing around on the net and in here *S*).

So: Can anyone make that with a stock NCB 6903 ROM?

Also - to PhilZ and other geniouses/superheros in here - is it possible to make a temporary ADVANCED recovery which includes gives full (or close to full) root + contain the AROMA file browser?

/Dan
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
You trawled thru posts here, there and elsewhere and now what? You don't know a bit as you was nowhere and you did not read carefully because if you will do that, you also will know that there is not .761 rooted as the developers do not bother about a 1,8 MB update from .757 as it means they have to remake a whole ROM of 1GB just for 1,8MB.

The latest Stock Pre-Rooted ROM it's here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2711982

To get to that Pre-Rooted (full Root) Stock ROM you have to do 3 steps, Downgrade to .534, Install lates Dualrecovery then follow the instructions from the link I posted from the line How To Update to .757

All for Locked Bootloader.

About Recovery, the recovery have 3 type of recoveries implemented, CWM, Philz and TWRP, I recommend TWRP for everything you do and forget CWM even if is there.

Doing Root your warranty will not be voided. There is no other way to get Full Root on your Phone and nobody will change stuff as you like.

Just do like I said and have a nice time with your Z1.

This should be Pre-Rooted Files to .761.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Having a recovery does not stop you Relocking the bootloader. I don't know where you have read that, I have not read that anywhere and is completely untrue

EDIT

As you have said, there are instructions to make your own 761 pre rooted rom. Just follow those. If you do not want to include recovery then don't put those files in the system folder. But it will not stop you relocking the bootloader.

But wait

, if you want to relock your bootloader, that implies its unlocked already, yes?

If so, why do you need a pre-rooted 761 ROM, just update to 761, then unlock your bootloader and root the phone. Done!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pyongyang:
Hi All,

Long time lurker/member but new to posting so please go easy! :fingers-crossed:

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (bought and using it in Ireland). I rooted it tonight (using the XDA tutorial video) also installed Triangle Away. No issues with any of this so far.

However today I received some Audio Technica ATH-S700BT Bluetooth headphones from an online store in Japan. Prior to rooting my device this evening, I tried powering on the headphones after charging them for a while, but the Note 3 won't detect the headphones at all during a scan. Tried a few other apps too, again, no search results.

I currently have a Samsung Gear 2 Neo paired to it and I also have an ODB-II device in the pair history that I use occasionally. These work fine.

I read somewhere that Japan uses a different Bluetooth frequency to Europe and RoW. Though would this be the cause of the problem? I believe the headphones are Bluetooth 3.0+EDR, though please find a link below to the spec sheet and a manual (in Japanese) which may help?

audio-technica.co.jp/atj/show_model.php?modelId=2362 - Product Page (Japanese)

audio-technica.co.jp/items/contents/101/model/ATH-S700BT/donwload/ATH-S700BT.pdf - Product Manual (Japanese)

I'm hoping I can use these with my Note 3 via Bluetooth. Can anyone help me out please?

Thanks very much in advance!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
I'm willing to bet its related to what seems to be horrible signal strength.... Combined with location services. (High accuracy I'm betting? Or possibly on battery saver?)

So an app, or apps are trying to get location and having trouble cause your signal is so weak. (Trying to reach radio towers)

Or, its just apps trying to access data...social apps in particular, or anything that automatically receives info/data.

Anyway....to see if I'm on the right track.....first step is to turn location services off completely and see how it is.

If its no different....scenario 2.

For a few hours to test....keep location off and disable data. You'll still get texts and phone calls ...but that's it. See how that is for a few hours.

Good luck! ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuckFuggets:
I don't think it's signal strength, becsuse both of these days I was at school, in the same spot. but yeah I'll try turning off location (it's on battery saver btw) and report back on how things go. thanks!
