[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordBlades:
Hello,

My S4 just died (complete loss of LCD image apart from the occasional white stripes) so I sent it back for repair under warranty. I do make regular back-ups of the phone in Kies 3 and now the only place where I still have my contacts list is in the latest contacts.spb file.

Question is : how do I recover it as I need to use a back-up phone for the next 2 weeks?

I've tried googling this but any answer I find is 'open contacts.spb in Kies and save as .vcf'. How do I do that in Kies 3, as I am unable to find any Open File or similar button?

I'm beginning to notice thaton some of the newest nightly ROMS arent allowing my Photon Q to be flashed with some of the newer versions. I just tried flashing the newest CM11 nightly for the Photon Q and it wouldn't allow me(July 1). This also happened when I tried to use Kitstalk and the newest Liquid Smooth nightly(July 1). I tried using CWM 6.0.4.4 and TWRP 2.7.1.0, but I kept the getting same error message saying I need to have a 4.4 bootloader. Is there any way to update the bootloader or get around this?

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] KoolBurnX8:
Thanks for the reply guys. These pieces of information are really hidden, I think other than Carbon, all other ROMS aren't even letting people know the XT897 is no longer supported for the newer versions of their releases.

Its wrote in CM11 theard so its is not hidden ;)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] KoolBurnX8:
Assuming you only use CM11, sure maybe. Their wiki pays no mention to it when this was implemented. The unified build wiki article is one of the first hits you get when a newbie is searching to root and flash custom roms. But what about other ROMs out there? This forum seems to be the main hub for everything Photon Q, but yet i've found numerous ROMs that aren't advertised here.

yep, right.. for me is only cyanogen.. i forgot about other roms..

So I have 2 p3100 g tab 2 model . one with custom ROM(which I used) and the other with official stock 4.1.2 OTA update(which my dad used).

So my custom ROM is fine but the other one showing process.systemui and gapps error.

Do you guys know how to fix this error without reinstalling the android ?

NB. My dad dislike the AOSP User Interface and hate me fixing his tab 2(so I must secretly fix it,while he didn't using it)

Sorry for my bad English

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharingan:
you must have uninstalled some ui apps like theme chooser or interface ui system apps which are very crucial

also you also messed up with play store files and google play services if i am not wrong ??

try wipe cache partition in recovery or if that does not work reflash stock rom

about your dad not liking aosp ui please install some launcher and try different themes
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hhocker:
This was originally posted over in XDA Assist (Thread over here) but was recommended I post it over here to see if people could help. Pardon the copy paste.

A friend of mine that I gave a tablet to left it in a hot car and now it is bootlooping. She has a bunch of photos and documents that were written on the tablet that she would like to get back. The only trouble is that this tablet is one of those Chinese Action ATM7029 clones with little to no information on the internet about them. I figured out the combos to get into the stock recovery and do have access to SD cards to load recovery images onto it. ADB bridge / debugging was never turned on in the tablet so going into recovery does not create an ADB link. Here are the details:

Device: FastTouch 10" 8gb

Android: 4.2.2

Processor: ATM7029

Memory: 8gb flash / 1gb ram

ADB Enabled: No, USB Debugging was never turned on

Recovery: Accessible, but only stock version

SD Slot: yes, 8 and 32gb SD Cards are available to be used

Computers and Operating systems: I have a Mac with 10.8 with ADK 'installed', access to a windows 7 machine available

(Amazon link to the device: amazon_com/gp/product/B00ECKG0XK/)

Here is what I have done:

1) Got into recovery

2) Tried wiping cache and rebooting, still stuck

3) Tried ADB from a Mac machine, not recognized (ADB was not turned on in tablet)

4) Looked for any sort of recovery for the device. Sketchy possibles, no direct compatible found

5) Posted here.

Here is what I want to do:

1) Get the files off (if possible)

2) Get the device working, even if that requires wiping the files out (if possible)

Can anyone point me to a CWM or TWRP that would work with this device and let me form an ADB link to backup with? Even if the recovery ran out of ramdisk and didn't install that would be enough. I really want to get those files back out before doing dastardly things to the device. Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arjen_Arg:
Hi, I bought a GPE directly from google, played around a bit with it and now I need it back to stock for a warranty claim.

I unlocked, installed: TWRP, Root, xposed framework and busybox, and then S-Off with Rumrunner.

I think I should 1- flash stock recovery and then do:

5- Delete SuperSU Binaries and apk

Is this correct? the procedure comes from a back to Sense thread and I wanted to be sure I wont screw up on my GPE.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordBlades:
I live in Europe and until a few months back I have only purchased models for Europe via the local carrier, but at the start of this year I was gifted an I9505, purchased from an electronics retail store (it's a model for Middle East as I was told by Samsung when trying to get it fixed), which has turned out to be by far the worst smartphone I have ever owned so far (have owned a HTC Desire and an I9100 Galaxy S2): Twice has it suffered moderate falls, and twice has it suffered very big damage as a result:

First time it dropped from hand-held height and suffered multiple cracks on the glass protecting the LCD. Got it fixed and last night it took another minor fall and it lost all LCD image (without any visible exterior damage).

I have dropped both my previous smartphones in way worse ways with no issue. My wife dropped her S3 several times with no issues, so I wonder:

-Am I just unlucky and/or I have a bad device?

-Is S4 a way more fragile phone than it's predecessors?

-Are Middle East models lower quality than Europe models?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rling:
Electronic devices don't take too well to jarring or drops. Dropping it onto carpeted floor or onto concrete and angle it hits can all affect it, as well as a myriad of other factors. You could be lucky, and just suffer a few scratch marks/scuffs, to complete cracking of screen - and it comes down to luck as to damage suffered.

Big mega-corporations have a production line for their devices, and usually one line per device. It does not make economic sense to selectively degrade the quality of their devices for certain markets. The cost to their reputation worldwide is far too great if it were true.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordBlades:
Maybe both me and my wife got lucky the 50-60 times we dropped our phones in the past 10 years or so of cell phone usage and then got unlucky twice in a row with the same phone....

On the other hand they do buy their components from subsidiaries or similar, most likely more than 1 company or assembly line (my S4 had a battery made in China for example while I've seen a couple others with batteries made in Korea for example) so component quality might very likely vary. Now whether Samsung would acknowledge and/or direct lower quality batches to specific market is probably the field of conspiracy theories, but I honestly doubt different batches don't vary in quality at least somewhat.

Hello, I want support for Wi-Fi AD-HOC networks because on my house I don't have a local internet connection using a cable for use one wifi router, so the only way to have wifi on my house is repeating one Wi-Fi connection on my old windows XP desktop PC, it's a Pentium 3 so I can't install windows 7 for create a real virtual Access point, I just can create a AD-HOC access point with windows XP.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fburgos:
You want to share your data plan (phone 3g Internet) with Windows xp, then use your phone in wifi AP or USB teter.

On winXP you have to share this connection to your Lan port or your adhoc connections.

Is this right

I only need be able to see and connect to AD-HOC networks with my s4 mini, don't care about my windows XP PC because the problem is not there and I can't upgrade that old PC to windows 7 too, that's impossible for the hardware.

Oohhh I see your issue, Android does not support ad-hoc, sorry my bad I tough it does

I have w8 in my office and I share Internet to my phone using a USB card I thought I had an adhoc but I think it's not ad-hoc like winXP, netsh start hostednetwork

The solution I think is to use a wifi router connected to the Lan, they are usually cheap, buy a router capable of repeat that signal

Have you tried with Linux there are distros for slow/old machines

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueldvp:
Your connection is not AD-HOC, it's infrastructure mode that mean its like a normal Access Point, I can't use a router because I don't have lan cable I just use one Wi-Fi card to connect to my neighbor Wi-Fi and another to repeat the signal using connectify to create the AD-HOC network, in this case I can't use a router, I was thinking on that use a Linux for create a fake AP, it's my last option, but I still thinking about use the AD-HOC network on the s4 mini, is possible because I have a modified wpa_supplicant on my Ainol tablet and I'm able to connect to the AD-HOC network like another normal wifi, and using a app called Wi-Fi manager on my s4 mini I can find the AD-HOC network and try to connect but, nothing happens, I think it's fault of a stupid stuff and maybe someone can have the answer, so, my question still open!

Tried to follow your lead on this but all I ended up with was the Kernel installer and it didn't have any options within it's Aroma for "Volume" stuff. Just kernels which luckily I just skipped over and ended the mod file install. :confused:

Ok, I'm seeing now via OP of that thread it's actually the "App Installer" maybe. But that leads to TWO sub directories with different names , GoldenEye and Maple something, then within them there are like 3 each different versions. So I'm still lost as to what/which/where you used for this.

use the GE installer . The volume mod is part of that .. Also if you use the Zip i just put up BEWARE IT IS LOUD AND COULD HARM YOUR EARS AND EARBUDS . There will be a slightly less extreme version going up within the next 24hours

Sorry I have duplicated this blog in this forum, I am new to the site and I believe this is more appropriate here, if you can help please advise.

Hi all

Hope you are well, I have been trying to root my Galaxy Note 2014 SM-P605 to resolve external card issue. I have bought this in Australia from Optus but couldn't find the original rom so I reflashed it using the Nordic rom P605XXUCNE2 and everything works fine.

I used the CF-Auto-Root-lt03lte-lt03ltexx-smp605.tar.md5 and flashed via Odin, upon reboot the unit experienced a soft brick where the unit would constantly reboot and the display was fuzzy with lines, at this point I struggled to even get download mode or recovery up but eventually managed download mode by holding in vol down, power & home all at once.

I then reflashed using the P605XXUCNE2 firmware. The question I have is before I try towelroot is, do I have to Sim unlock the unit? How can even determine if there is a Sim lock? I can confirm that Knox was not triggered.

Any assistance would be most welcomed.
