C2004 is not available in device list whar to do ?
[Sony Xperia M] hhjadeja007:
Yes, it won't be available because sony has removed it from their server. The best you can do is search here if anyone has put up their ftf links and then Download and install it.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TALBR:
hello

i have installed a custom ROM I don't know which ROM specifically, but the ROM was 4.3

anyhow i did not feel comfortable with the rom the keyboard did not work , so I installed 4.3 stock rom through ODIN.

the stock rom did not work perfectly sometimes the device reboots itself ...and when i call the screen turns black and I can't use it until i finish the call.

I had four good batteries....

now I can't use two of them ( when I plug them in charger they make the big battery logo fully green , but they keep charging and never shows fully charged unplug message) ..when I turn the phone on its keeps rebooting and never stops .

the other two batteries shows incorrect percentage reading ,like when i charge the phone after its completely run out of battery Its instantly become 40% charged but it's actually less than 1% .

I don't know if its a hardware issue or the system capable of ruining the batteries.( all four batteries had the problem on the 4.3 stock rom) I've tried the batteries on different phone and i experienced the same issue.

i installed 4.4.2 stock rom through ODIN and i did not had the previous (non-battery) issues with it ...but today i turned the phone on and it displayed the samsung galaxy welcome screen (like if it got factory reset) !

and it displays (Unfortunately, S suggest has stopped) when i press ok it displays (Unfortunately,the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped) >ok> ( Unfortunately google play services has stopped) >ok> ( Unfortunately,the process com.android.phone has stopped) ..... and its keep doing that !

i did cache wipe and downloaded and installed other version of 4.4.2 stock rom and i experienced the same issue.

if i connect the phone to PC the it shows that the total capacity is only 107MB !!

i did not try factory reset i don't want to lose the data if it's there.

is there a way to recover the data?

how can i fix the phone?

what is it with the dying batteries?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irwenzhao:
OK... so ODIN is working, eh? That helps the situation. Now...

1) If you can get ADB working, probably.

2) By flashing a pit file through either ODIN or (custom) recovery. (I prefer using recovery as it's safer.)

3) Not completely sure, though it (might) be a hardware issue.

P.S. You should NEVER flash stock ROM unless you have a bricked device. I rather you flash CM11 even if you have a bricked device. I never trust stock ROM.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
:)

I had that situation of storage earlier.

u have no choice but to wipe all.

if u still can connect ur device to a pc, i would suggest to copy ur data on ur internal storage to ur pc.

after that, earlier what I did was flash the zoot script from cwm and do a custom mega wipe. of course ur internal storage will be wiped. clean until all the folders nd files.

then reboot back to recovery to flash custom rom again.

if u r not rooted the only way is to factory reset full wipe system data nd cache.

wipe cache only won't solve the problem of internal storage.

to be frank, u jump from 4.3 to 4.4.2, u have to factory reset. too many users try to avoid this because lazy to resetup nd backup. but u have no choice.

not all ppl like Cm / aosp.

and stock rom is not bad. it is just most ppl don't like to do a clean flash.

without stock rom, u can't use the full feature of spen, and it defeat the purpose of having spen.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
I agree that DN3 is great rom.

I also agree that sometimes official firmware also have bugs.

but, I don't agree that custom rom will free of bugs that official have it.

certain bugs will still remain.

don't forget, custom rom is build on Samsung stock base with some enhancement to feel better in smoothness, functions, battery life, as well as user interface.

Just as on 4.4.2, led notification does not work for me after

upgrade to 4.4.3. I used ota, stock, no root.

Some posts claim the light works out of the box for some

people. Since it is not my case, I'd like to use light mana-

ger and hear what this forum say about battery drain and

memory usage. The app is about 5 times smaller than

light flow lite. My preference is to have it out of any com-

pulsive battery usage.

Or I might miss some configuration in default led app?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
So I guess flashing with CM 10.2 does not alter the built-in folder structure of the NT. I show two categories of "internal storage": about 11.6 GB of "available" space (some of which seems to be taken up by apps and cache) and a second category of a miserly 1 GB. [oh yeah, turns out the "8 GB NT" I got from ebay was actually a 16 GB model. Go figure]

Question: can I rename the "B&N downloads" folder and delete subfolders without messing anything up? If so, can I store files in there (videos, music, epubs, etc.). I'm guessing that the "My Files" folder is actually on the 1 GB partition. Is this correct? Can I likewise customize those folders?

And USB.... As far as I can tell, only MTP works with my Win 8.1 system--and not well. I cannot see any files, just "internal memory" (the 1 GB part). Dragging and dropping gives a "can't copy because the device has stopped" or similar, but the file does seem to transfer. You just can't see it on the computer. Using the "Send to" shell command gives a similar result. If I change the USB setting to "mass storage" and turn on USB debugging, I get the little system tray icon for a connected USB device on my PC, but the Nook is not listed there and nothing shows up in the explorer file directory.

So....is this as good as it gets for transferring via USB? I can always pop out the SD card (who thought up that compartment behind the half-ring :rolleyes:), put it in my PC, copy the files and then put the card back in the Nook and use File Manager to move things around. Ugh.

Is there a better way? Maybe the WiFi Transfer app (I use that on my Nook ST).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] macrossmerrell:
When that happens to me a reboot of the tablet usually fixes it. Alternately CM 11 / 4.4.2 ROMs usually eliminate that issue entirely.

Also, if you search the nook tablet forums, there is a way to repartition the device so you have 1Gb internal and the 11.6Gb for installing apps, files, etc. I did that to my nook tablet couple years ago and it's worked swimmingly.

With everything on (sync, google now, locations....) and 2-3 bars. The battery is amazing and the font changer is awesome. I should probably turn off all the location reporting and stuff.
