[General Questions and Answers] JensKop:
Hi all,

I'm new to the forum and not very tech literate.

I rcentlly deleted oictures from my Samsung GT-I9195.

I rooted the phone using Kingo and installed diskdigger to get back the pictures.

I found the pictures (jpg) but the image is gone.

Is there any way I can retrieve the images from the files???? Any way at all???

Please reply asap, please..
[General Questions and Answers] JensKop:
Bump!!!
[General Questions and Answers] JensKop:
Bump....
[General Questions and Answers] JensKop:
OK, I have retrieved the files and brought them to my PC.

I then used a Steller Pheonix JPEG repair to try and get the image back.

I managed to get the thumbnail but not the JPEG. There are some image details in the top left of the picture but the rest is grey.

I am now trying to blow up the thumbnail using alien skin blow up on Photoshop 7, but alien skin wont appear for me in photoshop.

The image is of text I took a picture of that I need to get back.

I don't know if any of you have experience with blowing up images from thumbnails?

Thank you

can i use on Russian one?what are the benefits of deodexing?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] masterulukai:
I think it

might

give you some errors and annoying bugs, if you install it on different customization. I would not recommend doing so. As for benefits, it is simple. With Deodexed rom you can do modding - manipulate system files. Also I have heard, that deodexed Roms are slightly faster, except for the first boot after cleaning dalvik/cache. Don't know if it's true though..
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] brocnical:
Odexed app apks have better performance than deodexed. Better to leave them Odexed unless you really want to make a specific mod that requires certain apks to be deodexed.

I will read through thoroughly the thread posted above and try everything suggested. I just want to mention that I was using flashtool.

One thing I'm unclear about, so of the zip have an 'i" for install or an 'f' for flash. The one I've been trying to flash has an 'i'. Was I using the wrong one?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adil786ali63:
Bro.. You can't flash a zip through Flashtool... the recovery should be in the extension of a ".img" or ".elf" or ".sin" file...

open the ZIP file and you should see a boot.img or kernel.elf file.... just extract it and flash via flashtool...

Flash it in Fastboot mode.. :)

Hi,

I just learned how to root, unlock bootloader, install custom recovery, and ultimately install a custom ROM.

I have tried installing Carbon ROM and Mondified, but the camera is not working. Any possible way to get them to work on those ROMS, and if not, is there another ROM I can install to fix the camera issue? To be specific, on Carbon ROM it will take pics, but not focus. On the Mondified ROM it will not focus or even take pics.

I am also thinking about the possibility of flashing stock ROM, but for some reason the FlashTool does not recognize my device hence I cannot flash stock FW.

Thanks in advance,

I have been searching this forum and googling for an hour now without any luck.

My question is, what exactly is the 'Protocol' you see when people list their protocol version?

I know about the ROM, the Radio and the Extended Rom, but what is this Protocol, and what is the significance of its version?

Thanks in advance for enlightening me
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] barrydavisjr:
As far as I know the protocol is a standardized set of codes and conduct. The version would be what release it its. The protocol version essentially would be what release you have of the codes and conducts that determine how the machine acts. Most liekly the OS which determines this. Correct me if I am wrong
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lts:
Thanks for the reply.

I am an IT developer, so I kind of know the general use and meaning of protocols, I'm just looking for an exact explanation of what kind of protocol that's being referred to here.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] barrydavisjr:
I think it refers to the OS build.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lts:
The OS and build version is usually what you see in Start->Settings->System->About.

I'm sure it's something else than that.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lts:
I am sure someone knows this?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lts:
Still nobody?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lts:
Come on :-)

So many skilled people here and so many listing a 'protocol version' in their signature. Somebody MUST know :-)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lts:
Just to say that I haven't entirely given up, although my hope is rapidly decreasing :-)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lts:
That's it.

I have accepted that nobody knows what they are referring to when they specify their 'protocol version', and that I will probably never know either.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lts:
Got it

Turned out that I couldn't let this go after all :-)

I noticed that the 'protocol version' changed when I upgraded to the 2.47.11 radio rom, which of course indicated that the 'protocol' in question is some kind of network protocol with the GSM/GPRS as the most obvious candidates, and thanks to joannaex at buzzdev it was confirmed, from Qtek I believe, that the 'protocol' actually is the GSM protocol, or rather protocol stack as it is.

Regarding the version I have concluded for myself that this is just a number assigned by the vendor to each specific release of the firmware, and not related to the actual GSM specification, and this raises another question:

Who makes these radio roms? Probably not Microsoft, but rather HTC or maybe the major carriers themselves?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] molski:
I know that both T-mobile and Cingular made a 2.25.11 Radio Rom and Qtek made the 2.47.11 Radio Rom (from what I've heard...)

[G2 Accessories] bloomer2011:
So I love my new G2 and really don't want to add a case to what is a pretty large phone. I'm very careful with my phones, but I can see from drop tests that even a mild corner impact could end up being fatal. Was trying to think about how to hack together some sort of subtle corner protection without spoiling the "naked" feel of the phone.

* A fairly thin, softish material which could absorb some of a (light) impact, would need to be smooth so it doesn't catch when sliding into/out of pocket -- leather, smooth flexible plastic, decal/skin material ... ?

* Some sort of adhesive that would allow repositioning and removal ...?

* Cannibalise from some existing case/cover/skin ... ?

I'm guessing that using, say, two layers of a decal/skin material could be sufficient, but shaping it nicely might be tricky.

Any ideas out there?

Ah! That was the stuff I read about a few years back and couldn't remember the details of when I was writing the original post! Thank you!

[MENTION=4740330]Chaaqoti[/MENTION]: a bumper case doesn't fit the purpose as it surrounds the entire edge (but cannibalising the corners from a suitably thin and soft one might work).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rejectedjs:
Hey guys, for ages now I've been looking at ways to wirelessly, or at least cleanly upgrading storage on the DNA, considering it has no SD card port, and I've been trying to stay away from Wi-Fi SD card readers considering that I know that if I'm on the road, I wouldn't be able to use internet considering that if I'm connected to the Wi-Fi SD card reader's hotspot, then I'd lose connectivity from LTE.

But, this product here interests me, http://www.kingston.com/us/wireless/..._readers#mlwg2 I saw some videos of it on Youtube playing back 4K videos instantaneously on an HTC One M7 with no lag, quality degrading, or anything(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUGSKHQvtyU#t=332), it seems like a really nice product for storing music, hotswapping roms and what not, but, problem is, would there be any way for someone to actually download stuff to it like an actual means of storage?

I know about OTG cables and flash drives, I already have one of those, but I don't want to have this cable just dangling out of my phone as I'm gaming(assuming you can install apps to OTG storage) or listening to music. My question is, is there anyway to get these types of products to show up as ACTUAL SD Card storage in Settings? Or maybe there's some type of bluetooth SD card reader or so that could do so?

If not..my last resort is to actually use one of these things, but another problem is being away from Wi-Fi again. Is there any type of Xposed Module or anything of that nature that I can use to be connected to WiFi, but to use LTE connection instead? Thanks for reading and responses.

[Micromax Canvas Knight Questions & Answers] rakesh.aggarwal:
Why are you making a simple looking process too hard.

The simple process is to....

1.) Install the drivers. (make sure you keep your phone disconnected while installing from executable file)

2.) Start SP Flash tool and locate the scatter file. (Do not connect phone.)

3.) Select download only in droop down and click download. (Do not connect phone.)

4.) Switch off your phone. Make sure you switch it off completely as it will vibrate strongly when it will go off. (Do not connect phone.)

5.) Now finally it is the time to connect your phone. Connect you phone now

6.) You will see the process starting to download the flash to the phone.

7.) Wait for the process to finish and then start your phone.

Note:

This process works best with x86 versions of windows as the drivers for the x64 versions do not detect this phone.

If possible use the tutorial on Windows 7 x86 only.

I have tested the kikat rom on this phone.

The only benefit of the rom was that it improved the camera quality. But this rom made the phone very slow. On 4.2.2 the Antutu score was 32520 while on Kikat the same score felt down to 23252.

The UI was very slow to use. So i switched back to 4.2.2 Stock.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bear Claw:
Dear xda community,

I have searched wide and far through the forums but have not found the perfect solution to my problem:

I have an non-rooted Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) stuck in boot after my stock FM radio app crashed. Boot stops in the flashing logo and won't go on from there.

Cache wipe in recovery mode doesn't help, but I do not want to factory reset without any attempt to save personal data from the internal memory.

I have tried to access my phone through adb, but cannot use the pull command to get anything off (e.g. /sdcard/, where it just tells me that 0 files have been found and 0 transferred).

Kies won't connect either.

Some forums suggest to root and flash a custom rom, but this process seems a) to involve factory reset, b) seems risky without access to anything above recovery mode, or c) seems risky because I don't know my exact kernel version to pick.

All I can get via "adb shell cat /proc/version" is this:

Linux version 3.0.31-889555 (dpi@DELL228) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #3 SMP PREE

MPT Thu Jan 31 14:48:54 KST 2013

I am a bit unsure whether the kernels and roms available would fit because I had to send the device in earlier last year on guarantee and got it back with a firmware jellybean update, so it's not the originial stock kernel.

I found the exact same /proc/version output in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/help/help-cf-root-galaxy-s2-tanks-t2139040) , where they recommended to use PhilZ Touch v4.22 + new XWLSD.

I am unsure if this would be a good solution for me as well even though I don't know my build number or baseband version.

Is there a way to find these out via adv? are they important? Will I brick my phone if I try to install this kernel without knowing more?

Any help very much appreciated!

(I know there's a hell lot of rooting/flashing tutorials and posts out there, but hardly any are about how to save the internal data on original unrooted phones, or how to get access to the internal memory from adb or similar on unrooted phones when they are stuck in boot. If at all possible, please give me some cues on how to fix this safely, I'm not heavy-handed with tech but have not done any rooting/flashing of phones before)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You're overthinking this.

Best option is to flash stock firmware with Odin/in DL mode & hope that fixes the problem; it's a coin toss - half the time this will fix it on its own, half the time you'll still need to do a factory reset after flash as you'll still have bootloop. There will be no way around same despite your obvious aversion to doing a reset if just the flash doesn't fix it.

Obviously if it does work w/o reset, no data loss. Only way to find out is 'suck it & see' (I.E try it).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bear Claw:
In that case, how do I pick a right firmware? Sorry if that question sounds lame, but the thing is just that I've read a gazillion warnings to pick the right kernel version or get a softbricked phone, yet I do not seem to be able to retrieve the kernel ID (the couple of characters/digits) that seem to be important for this. In other words:

is it

a) ok to just go ahead and flash e.g. any Jellly Bean Stock Rom for the GT-I9100 or the Philz Recovery Rom mentioned above (in that case, which version)?

b) or do I need to know more - and if so, how can I find out which ROM to use - with only adb working?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Any stock rom will do, but if you intend to stay on stock choose a stock rom for your country/carrier (not 4.0.4).

Forget ADB (re: my comment about you overthinking things), it's irrelevant.

Flashing instructions are in thread stickied near top of Q&A titled 'Flash stock firmware', if you have problems with the flash find Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General & go through the troubleshooting steps in a methodical way (hopefully you won't need that though).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FullWipe:
It seems to me like you're complicating your life.

You can flash any rom stock through odin and hope that phone doesn't stuck on boot.

If, however, does not start, you always have to do wipe data that is the only solution available to you.

This teaches you to make backups of everything you don't want to lose, obviously with root and custom recovery (nandroid backup).

P.s. If your phone does not turn on you cannot save anything, not even through adb :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bear Claw:
Thanks for the quick replies everyone, in this case I will just go ahead and try my luck.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bear Claw:
Update: Indeed Philz Recovery worked like a charm (see link first post). I was able to get a full backup of my data with this to external SD before wiping the device. After wipe/factory reset, everthing booted normal again.

Trying to restore the data turned out to be a bit more tricky. Even though I restored only data, not system files, it returned to the previous boot problems.

In the end, I extracted the backupfile on my PC, first concatenating the *.tar.a, *.tar.b etc files using windows command prompt "copy /b XXX.tar.* XXX.tar" (replace XXX with tar archive names, e.g. "copy /b data.ext4.tar* data.ext4.tar"), then I could open and extract them with 7zip, copying the extracted backup to my external SD.

Finally, I used ES Explorer (with Root Access activated in the app settings) to cherry pick and copy my calendar and contacts (/data/data/com.android.providers.calendar/ and /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/) and some selected app files to the phone. After a restart, I had restored these and parts of my apps, although most of their settings were gone. It seems like I missed out on where these were stored.

Anyway, I hope this will help anyone with the same problem and device to get things going again without losing their data!

Thanks again everyone here and in the other threads I read over the last days.
