[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] k42376:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Player 3.6 US version(with capacitive home button) with a not rooted stock ROM. It is currently stuck in a boot loop but will boot into recovery and download mode. I have no user data backup and I don't want to loose my app data. I can access recovery mode's ADB (which is limited) but can't get to normal ADB because the boot loop repeats too fast (my computers ding to indicate the device just before the boot loop repeats). I have tried removing the battery for an hour or two but it didn't change anything and the battery is fully charged.

Is there any way to boot a custom ROM (Cyanogenmod or others) from my 16GB micro SD-Card or to freeze the boot loop to use ADB. Or is there another solution that doesn't require using the factory restore and wiping my app data ? I have PC's running Linux Mint 16, Windows 8, Windows 7, and Windows XP.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] troy5890:
You can try and flash a kernel that has cwm in it and download a custom ROM from another source like your computer. Then you can put that custom ROM in the internal or external storage and flash. Try to get a recovery that will ask you to root the device first or try superoneclick to root it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] k42376:
So if I follow,

1) boot into recovery mode and install clock work mod custom recovery zip file from the external SD card.

2) Then I would use CWM to flash a custom ROM from the external SD card

Would installing CWM and/or flashing the custom ROM wipe the user data?

Does CWM include a full ADB interface unlike the stock recovery?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] troy5890:
Yes about the user data and I'm not sure about adb interface
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] drakonizer:
Actually you have to boot into download mode and flash the kernel.tar that contains CWM through Odin or Heimdall...then you'll have to boot into CWM and mount your internel sdcard because as of gingerbread...the compatible CWM version cannot flash files from external sdcard

And yes full adb access, even root and shell is available through CWM.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] k42376:
Thanks for all the help. This is my son's Galaxy Player and he'd really like to back up the existing data before doing anything that will wipe it.

He's wondering if installing CWM would wipe the user data. Will doing that wipe the user data?

If it would then maybe there is a way to backup the user data through the adb-recovery mode before installing CWM?

He had one last question before trying to install CWM. He was wondering if it's possible to connect it to the PC and use adb to freeze/stop the boot loop (perhaps through a script that tries to connect to the player before it boots again).

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] drakonizer:
Nope...installing CWM would do nothing to the user data. And no, there is no way to stop a bootloop through adb, even if you have an insecure kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] k42376:
CWM for 3.6 version

Okay - one more question.

We can't find a version of CWM or TWRP that list support for the Galaxy Player 3.6. They appear to support the other sizes (4.0, 4.2 and 5.0).

Does anyone know if those support the 3.6?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
Usually to stop a boot loop you have to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvick
[AT&T LG G2] iFalcon:
Where can we find the Lg Update Center so I can update some of the LG apps?

Even the Sprint version has it as an option in the settings, but the ATT version doesn't. I think it's also referred to as the LGSmartWorld.apk.

[HTC One Max] milesje:
LTE?

Does LTE work with this ROM? I know that most(all) of the CM based ROMs are having issues with LTE.
[HTC One Max] dok2005:
cant seem to get this to flash always popping up error
[HTC One Max] gimmeitorilltell:
I have not seen any LTE yet but I live in an area that is weak. I'll see if I can find LTE today but as of now I'm gonna say it does not work.

What is the error & are you using twrp for cm or cwm. Can you get a recovery log?
[HTC One Max] shizzdaman:
OK what's not working ,I have sprint version
[HTC One Max] dok2005:
i get an error about binary i used twrp 2.6 & 2.7

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ----------

also just tried cwm got error 0
[HTC One Max] gimmeitorilltell:
You need "CM ready TWRP" from THIS THREAD here. Do a factory reset before you flash this rom if coming from sense roms.

NOTE: Using speakerphone during a call WILL cause a REBOOT! I am still working on LTE also.

As you see from the post above that speakerphone is not working & I don't think LTE is neither. I am in an outlying area of 4G but do see it popup a few times a day with sense roms but I have NOT seen it with this one yet. I don't use BT so you tell me what else is not working? This should have an official CM build out very soon as well since Flyhalf205 & his help have gotten this pushed to gerrit. Now the files have made it to github :)

Error Msg : com.android.systemui has stopped

Hi,

I'm getting this msg after every boot.

"unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped".

Think there is some settings I changed that inflict this. Has anyone come across this before?

Edited: I've found the cause of it. When I add a contact tile to QS Drawer and reboot, it gives the error.
[HTC One Max] nathlynn22:
[MENTION=4779996]gimmeitorilltell[/MENTION] run the Rom for about an hour looks good didn't have any fcs and android stops. But had to revert back as for some reason when making a phone call not sure if call went out or not but the mute button is constantly pressed looks as though call does connect but can hear nothing. And also no media files play. Tried through Google play music and the music app also with es file player. Just skips through every song I try to play. And the music app makes phone lag when it's open thanks though looks like an interesting Rom.

---------- Post added at 11:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

Oh and as usual with the current asop roms WiFi was playing up. Was disconnecting couple of times when first started up Rom then turned phone off and on and it remembered the connection. But then I left for work so not sure if it still had problems. But lte looked good.
[HTC One Max] mbl1979:
Same with me on my Verizon max as well. Everything flashed good, went to make a call and the mute button was already active. Could not turn it off, the call was placed tho. Called my office phone answered it and i could not hear anything. Hope that helps. P.S. WiFi seems as good as it is with CM11.
[HTC One Max] devonburns20:
Ya the same thing happened to me with the media files. Every song I tried to play it just skipped right through. I even tried downloading a new song and it still continued. Just Kept getting "Couldn't Play Track That Was Selected/ Media File Error." I flashed back to t6vzw GPE and it still continued so i had to restore back to NuSense, and that fixed it. Lastly I flashed back to t6vzw GPE and music played just fine, no dice with Candycat.
[HTC One Max] gimmeitorilltell:
This is GREAT here folks! Exactly what I was looking for so I know what to work on. The last couple commits must have borked the incall since it was working. I have not tried any audio files myself yet, but after flashing my latest sprint build I have the same issues as your devices.
[HTC One Max] mbl1979:
That's good, I have no problems testing for you. I like the rom , I'll be looking for a new download. :thumbup:
[HTC One Max] gimmeitorilltell:
This is what we've long awaited!! I'll add the build to the op when I get home and upload it. I'm interested in knowing more results.

CandyKat-t6spr-4.4.4.release.v1.5.8-Official-20140813.zip

Sorry for the even longer delay but the OP is now updated to SPRINT ONLY!!!! No other variants have been updated but VEY SOON they will be as welll. I do have 2 jobs, well 3 if you count being a daddy of 7 children, so give me time & I will get everyone a taste of CandyKat :) Please let mer know if LTE works for you on SPRINT? Also fixed the incall audio bug so you let me know what DOES NOT work? Thanks ev1....

Folks I had messed my phone up pretty bad from testing build after build but I finally have 4G. The one thing I did that you all will not do is I reflashed the firmware to fix all my screw ups. This might have helped to get lte working so if yours does not work, I will gladly walk you thru the steps that I took. Please be patient with me tho if you have this as a request.
[HTC One Max] mbl1979:
Its all good, I for one understand this is a part time gig for most DEVS. 7 kids...wow forget ROMS how do you sleep lol? I'll be waiting patiently, thank you for all you do.
[HTC One Max] jazz995756:
I'll be sure to flash this and test LTE
[HTC One Max] gimmeitorilltell:
Let me know how it goes. Also here is an LTE speed test.
[HTC One Max] jazz995756:
LTE works perfectly but when the first boot came it got stuck at activating data and I finally got it out of that stage. Also is this just standard LTE? because I know this isnt my spark speeds I normally get in my home
[HTC One Max] gimmeitorilltell:
That image is more like 3G data. Is your phone set to global mode in settings & LTE/GSM/CDMA auto(PRL) in the radio *#*#4636#*#*? I had to let the rom settle for a couple hours before I actually got up to the 4G speeds. Try a couple of reboots & give it a little time but to answer your question, that is not the Spark you are used to.
[HTC One Max] jazz995756:
Its working correctly I moved places and I got spark speeds also it is a little spotty meaning its getting weak signals and it switches to roaming very easily. My other concern is when switching back from roaming or 3g it does it pretty slowly I'm waiting minutes before it actually picks up data again.
[HTC One Max] gimmeitorilltell:
Well this is definitely a step in the right direction so far. Thank you for checking things out here and I'll certainly still be working on this. I'll see what I can find out and post a fix or a new build once I get the bugs worked out.
[HTC One Max] jazz995756:
Well achieving LTE alone is a break through for the sprint variant but keep up the good work:thumbup:

I'm unable to see my micro SD card. I had no problem seeing it with a sense rom, does the SD card have to be a certain format? I'm not even sure what it is formated as, whatever it was out of the box.
[HTC One Max] mbl1979:
What ROM did you come from? Have you used the SD card in anything else?

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

Try putting your SD card in a computer save anything that's on it then put it back in your phone and let the phone re format.
[HTC One Max] milesje:
I'm coming from a stock rooted Sprint sense rom and the SD card never leaves my phone.
[HTC One Max] Flashalot:
What format is your sdcard and his big is it
[HTC One Max] mbl1979:
OK try rebooting your device and and letting it settle for about 5 minutes. Then you can try to dirty flash the ROM again without wiping anything.
[HTC One Max] milesje:
I'm not sure what format the SD card is I can't check until I get home after work but it is a 64 GB SanDisk class 10
[HTC One Max] mbl1979:
Did it work before? Not sure if you said it did or not.
[HTC One Max] milesje:
Works good in a sense rom this is the first time I have tested it in an AOSP based rom.
[HTC One Max] mbl1979:
When you get home I would try saving whatever is on it to a computer. Then let your phone reformat the SD card and see if that works. While on the candy ROM.

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 PM ----------

And while you are at work you can try this, take your s_d card out wait a few seconds then re insert it. See if it recognizes it. A reboot would not hurt after the presses as well.
[HTC One Max] milesje:
Removing the SD card and reinserting it has no effect as well as a reboot does nothing. In Settings/Storage it allows me to mount and unmount my SD card but when mounted it shows it has a size of 0.
[HTC One Max] mbl1979:
I'm all out if ideas my apologies. I'm sure a DEV will have an answer for you. One last thing do you have a spare SD card you could maybe try and see if it will read it. Maybe a 32 gig or smaller.
[HTC One Max] milesje:
Not here at work but at home I have several SD cards that are 32GB and smaller I will try those when I get home.
[HTC One Max] Flashalot:
OK I'm pretty sure the format is exfat we have been having problems with exfat lately and unfortunately you would have to format your sdcard in fat32 to fix for now until we fix the non working exfat
[HTC One Max] Wired0980:
LTE working good for me so far. The "roaming indicator off" in network status, can that be changed in the eri.xml in framework?
[HTC One Max] gimmeitorilltell:
Which variant do you have and did you follow the installation instructions to a T? You MUST use an updated recovery made using the CM kernel.

Yes it can be changed and I'm still working on getting this perfected but for now it shouldn't affect anything.

Did you perform a clean install?
[HTC One Max] jazz995756:
Yep still there for me
[HTC One Max] gimmeitorilltell:
I just grabbed the latest commits for wifi so I'll rebuild & work on the roaming a bit more. I'm just not having the roaming indicator popup. Haven't seen it since my last build but I trust you're getting it. It's probably due to our different locations.
[HTC One Max] jazz995756:
Yea at first I didn't I dirty flashed it but I did something I wasn't supposed to once it booted and was forced to RUU and reflash it clean but its still coming up.
[HTC One Max] mbl1979:
OK gimme analysis are in. The WiFi test zip is definitely a big improvement for this ROM as well. I can hold WiFi at the opposite end of my house. Where it would before drop 2 rooms away from my Wireless router. Fly you are definitely on to something with that test zip. :D :thumbup:
