I've found that if the cable isn't positioned just right, Odin won't respond. Took me a while to figure that one out. Had to hold the cable and phone just right during my last Odin install to make it take.

Nearly lost my lunch when my first Odin flash failed. It was only due to sure strength of will and some persistence that I figured out what the problem was. At one point I thought I had a $380 brick. :laugh:

Been real hassle for some... Knock on wood... So far I have no issues with odin.

hi! mates, any applications just like apps2sd will work on xperia z2? I tried many apps2sd applications in google play store but they're not working couldn't move my applications to sd card...thanks in advance...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
I think apps like that dont work because 4.4.2 doesnt alow writing of data to your SD

You can use xposed to fix that
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 050177e:
is that xposed is an application?where I can find it?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
You do need root so this is the only problem

Here is the app

Hi,

I have tried to upgrade the device using rom from ftp.clubimate.com

But it won't let me do it, it gives a message "error 294 "wrong manufacture's indetificator" (ошибка 294 "неправильный идентификатор производителя")

I have unlocked the device using lokiwiz, even though it was unlocked before.

And it is not working anyway.

Sorry guys, I know this has been covered, but I can't seem to find what I need via searching. I read forums more than I post so forgive me if I have done anything wrong. I am def an amateur when it comes to these things but I do okay.

I recently rooted my verizon gs3 4.3 with towelroot. It is actually just an old phone that I wanted to root and sell. Anyway, like an idiot I tried to install clockworkmod recovery from the clockworkmod app, my phone rebooted and I got the "unauthorized software" message from verizon. The phone will go into download mode. I need a little help finding the correct file to download and flash with odin to fix this. I'm sure its been covered but all of the download links for the file I have found have given me download errors. I have never bricked a phone before and I really want to fix this thing and sell it. Any help.

Follow these instructions and it should work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sdevans80:
verizon 4.3 gs3 soft brick update.

Okay this is where I'm at now. I finally got the phone to reboot into the regular system, I can boot into odin mode but not recovery mode, recovery mode give me the "unauthorized software" warning from verizon. When this happens I can do a battery pull, boot into odin mode, then press volume down to reboot the phone and the normal system comes up. I still have root with towel root. So when I tried to install cwm recovery from the cwm app that's where my problem started. This is my first time tweaking a phone with a locked boot loader. I can do anything with the phone when it's booted up to the regular system, except a factory data reset, if I try I get the "unauthorized software" screen. I tried un rooting with supersu, which seemed to work, because root checker reported that there was no root access. So I Re rooted with towelroot, reinstalled supersu from Play store. Now I have root access again, but still cannot go to recovery mode, or do a factory data reset.

That being said, since I can boot the phone the system, and i have root access with root explorer and es file explorer (with root files enabled). Is there a way to go in and remove all the files and things that cwm app installed when attempting to install cwm recovery. Basically I'll be thrilled to be able to factory reset and use stock recovery, I can deal with that, as long as I have root access so I can debloat and run root apps. So what can I do to get back to stick recovey, basically the state the phone was in before my dumb self tried to install custom recovery with a locked boot loader.

Sorry the post is long, I am def a amateur phone rooter, but through five devices this is my very first real issue.

Also thanks to all who contribute to this forum, I've been saved several times from info you guys post. So THANK YOU!

[MENTION=5711284]sdevans80[/MENTION] Did you flash the above file that [MENTION=3576831]SlimSnoopOS[/MENTION] recommended? That should have fixed your stock recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sdevans80:
Sorry, I meant to update sooner, I tried to flash stock image with odin several times with no luck. Eventually I connected to kies on my laptop, updated the phone from 4.3 to 4.4.2 which fixed every thing, after doing that I reinstalled towelroot apk and rooted the phone again. Rooting a phone by tapping an icon on a screen, and then not even having to reboot, is really cool. Thanks for the help guys.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TjPhysicist:
By this I mean, that it does not show up AT ALL, not even as a generic device with a yellow exclamation mark (which usually happens when there is a driver issue). I can't installed the driver obviously because device manager has no entry that matches my device. I tried all kinds of cables, and my friends Nexus 5, which works fine with the cable I am using with mine, somehow mine will *NOT* get detected by my computer at all. PLEASE HELP, I am unable to upload anything to it because of this issue.

Have you tried rebooting your phone and computer? Tried a different USB port?

I had the same problem some time ago, have you checked Device Manager>View>"Hidden Devices"? I'm not sure about the english name of "Hidden Devices", but you will figure it out.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TjPhysicist:
If you read any of the instructions for installing drivers, it asks you to go to the device manager and find the entry corresponding to your device so you can assign it the correct driver. However the device manager table does not change *at all* when I plug my phone.

It's not recognised at all in any mode, the device manager table does not change at all regardles of anything I do. In bootloader mode however, i get the "ping" noise that usually happens when a device is recognised as plugged in by windows, but nothing happens after that, I don't even have an entry in the device manager to correspond with it, all i get is "generic USB hub" entries.

yes. tried with and without ADB.

Yea, tried that, still a no go.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I think possibly there could be a damaged USB pin. If other nexus 5 devices connect ok
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt9678:
It could be the wire

Hi,

Have you tried a different USB cable? I had the power still work and the data fail on a wire that my nexus 7 came with. A standard USB cable has 4 wires. 2 power wires ( 5v DC + and - ) and 2 data wires. Some USB cables are power only and they are missing the data wire pair so make sure your using a wire that supports data connections.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I think you're on the right track, only he has tried other cables and another Nexus 5 with success, so I think it's the same issue, but in the phone's USB socket.

It isn't software on the phone as he tried bootloader too. It *could* still be driver related, but unlikely I think. I suppose we need to try another computer
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt9678:
usb otg

Sorry about that I must have been reading too fast.

One way to test the pins would be to use a USB-OTG with a flash drive or one of those cool flash drives that have a male micro-usb connection.

I have a galaxy s5 canadian version i already rooted it but seem like there is new knox thing on these phones. basically i want to flash the xtrolite rom im already rooted what other steps do i need to do to get the rom on my phone? ie unlocking a bootloader? or is it unlocked already? do i need to flash a recovery? since alot of people are talking about xposed framework and i read somewhere tht you dont need recovery if you have xposed which i dont know what it is. can someone please help me? Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgyirhj:
You should first of all install this recovery: "philz touch recovery" Look for threads on this forum and youtube videos how to do it, follow this exactly and properly because this part you don't want to mess up.

When done with that you want to take a backup with "philz touch recovery" there is also guides and videos on how to do that.

Both this things are pretty easy but just be carefull you do them right.

When that is done you will install your ROM, that is very easy. Download ROM to your SD card and use an app like "ROM customizer" to install the ROM. There might be different installs for different ROMS' all ROMs have their own guides, but most of them are pretty much the same.

Just read and you will know everything about how to do this very soon. :)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sofia-captivate:
do i need to unlock bootloader or do something to knox or disable knox? im not sure cause only thing i have done to this device is root only. i know how to flash this recovery i think also know how to backup. im just scared as i have the canadian version if there is any other steps to take?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgyirhj:
I don't think there is much to worry about.

The ROM you want to install supports your version. The recovery should do too.

Just make sure you do everything right when installing the recovery and you should be fine.

Any mistake after that can be repaired with your recovery. :)

Root is all you need. You should not need to unlock anything else. And don't worry about KNOX.

If your bootloader is locked, then I don't know how to solve it. But I don't think it's locked, only a few service providers in the world lock the bootloaders.

If it is I'm very sorry!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sofia-captivate:
how to know if my bootloader is locked or unlocked? Thanks once i know this im ready to go and flash everything. Thank you somuch
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgyirhj:
I don't know how to see that beforhand. Just try to do the flash and you should see if it works or not.

If it's fail because it's locked you will notice and then nothing will be broken.

If it's not locked you will have a successful flash, which you will see.;)

I have read about other Canadians installing ROMS and flashing Recovery so I think you will have success!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harry_fine:
The Canadian W8 ROM does not have a locked bootloader. It can be rooted, custom recovery can be installed and if you want, ROMs installed.

With Xposed Framework you don't really need custom ROM. Beauty of root is that you can use titanium backup to freeze dozens of bloatware apps from samsung and others, run Xposed, run other apps that need root, fix the stupid kitkat permissions on SD card, backup your ROM etc.

Once rooted you can also use a third party kernel that supports under or over clocking, depending on your need. Custom kernel developers work hard to get you better battery life.

One thing other poster didn't mention is that when you install custom recovery it will trip Knox. Please don't ask what that is. Look it up and decide. Your warranty will be void.

[LG Optimus G Pro] cougar214:
Nope. One click unroot apps don't remove all traces of root. Once you root, the only way to unroot is to flash it completely back to stock. You could waste your time trying to download the update but all it will do is detect your root and cancel.

[General Questions and Answers] diji1:
Unfortunately I didn't think things through properly when I was playing about which led to me deleting some files that are game saves (so not the end of the world if I lose them but at the same time I dearly want them back :| ). Specifically the games are Real Racing 3 and GTA: San Andreas and yes I will be using the cloud save feature from now on.

In case it matters here's the steps leading up to these files being deleted: I copied my entire internal SD to my external SD which is formatted using exFAT then then internal SD was "lost" (formatted?) during a firmware flash then the files were deleted from the external SD.

So far I tried using Hexamob Recovery Pro and Undelete which don't return any results at all for either the internal or external SD and trying to use Recuva for the drives mounted in MTP and MSC (USB Mass Storage) modes but it wouldn't see the drives. My thinking is next I'll try using Recuva again with the micro SD card in a USB reader after I buy a card reader.

So what do you think: am I completely boned or is there a chance of undeleting the data?

Just had the further thought ... is there a way I can make a bit for bit image of the external SD and mount that on my PC to attempt recovery?

I seem to be having a problem when I'm at the edge of a 3G coverage area. When I only have 1 or 2 bars of 3G coverage, the internet connection is pratically unuable. However, if I move to a place where I have WORSE reception, the phone swaps to GPRS and the connection becomes much better.

Is there any way of forcing the phone to use GPRS rather than 3G in these situations, or altering the 'tipping point' where is gives up on 3G and uses GPRS instead?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] GavinN:
Hi NJ,

Unfortunately your only real solution here is to switch the phone to 2G mode only by going to Start > Settings > Phone > Band > 'Select your network type' here put GSM. I know this is not ideal.

I suppose you could also look at getting an external antenna which plugs into the socket next to the camera.

[Micromax A116] Sairam Kannan:
I brought Micromax Canvas HD A116 by last august. The phone is not rooted. For first few month it was ok it gave atleast like 8-9 hrs of battery backup...but recently it has been causing lots of issues..it gets sudden drop in battery like from 70% to 20 or 30% then rapidly goes down to 10% holds for couple of hours and then dies out.

I am normal user(less phone calls, average internet usage, average gaming) and it suprises me when I am not using also battery drops like this and it lasts for 6-8 hrs backup only:eek:. I don't use heavy games because of this:rolleyes:. If I don't do anything then the backup will be upto 9 hrs but it certainly defeats my purpose of having a mobile if I am not even going to use it for phone calls:crying: I also use less number of apps only and they are not power hungry apps...just normal apps.

And also one weird thing I noticed is that whenever I charge it will charge upto 60% and after 1 or 2 minutes it will steeply rise to 100% which is like battery is doing some magic....you can check screenshots I have shared.

And the next weird thin I noticed is that my "phone idle" and "cell standby" percent are always high like beyond 45% always....I donno why...:( I have compared the reception and also other friends phones where they have only like both stats are around 5-10% only.

Now I really donno what to do with this situation.

Should I go for new OEM battery? Can any one suggest where I can find one online or offline(I am in chennai)?

Should I root my phone? Will it solve my problem?

Should I reset my phone? Can some one suggest best backup and reset solution if you are suggesting this...

Or should go for some other Phone itself(I have moto E in my mind, cuz within one year I don't wish to go for high budget...:( Now I feel is a bad option for me to have chosen this mobile)

I appreciate any help any one can provide me for this issues....Am REALLY REALLY grateful to you....thanks in advance resolvers.

And my OS is Jelly Bean 4.1.2

Do I need to update my OS to sort out my situation? Will it help? If so can some one let me know how to install KitKat for MMX Canvas HD A116?
