[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misschrissy1225:
I let my galaxy tab 10.1 die completely and it sat for several months without being used. When I turned it on, it was stuck in a bootloop. Tried to do a factory reset but, it would freeze in the middle of the reset. I really don't want to spend $150 to send this to Samsung for them to do something I can possibly do myself.

Is this a common issue with these things?

I have seen several forums and youtube videos where flashing was required to fix this problem, is this the only way to fix this problem?

Where can I download ODIN without all the other crap that some of these sites are trying to pass off as ODIN?

Step by step instructions would be helpful as I am not computer stupid, but have never done something like this before...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafsyam:
1. Let it fully charged

2. If you never flashed a custom recovery, do the factory reset again through the stock recovery mode. That should do it.

3. If you are rooted, get odin [http://odindownload.com/],

get a custom Recovery e.g. [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1733045], install it using ODIN

4. Extra, install a custom ROM e.g. nameless [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2716016] or the stock ROM [http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-10-1/development/download-link-samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-t2807422]
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misschrissy1225:
Thanks for the reply:

this is not a rooted device. How do I do the factory reset through the stock recovery mode? I am sure it's what I have tried several times and it still freezes in the middle of the recovery. I have gotten as far as putting in the date and time and then... nada back to where I have started. I am a noob, sorry
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarecrow166:
Stuck in the bootloop also, saw this post so asking here first. I'm going to do some more searching, but if I flash the ROM will I lose all photos, music, videos and the sort? Don't care about the apps, just the data. I don't have an SD Card on this thing which I keep reading on other posts some folks have. It's a P7510 32 GB Wifi Only.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mcjd0904:
Hi all, it's been awhile since I've done any ROM flashing (older phones) so I'm a little rusty now. I'm currently root, unlocked, CWM with stock 4.1.2 (never flashed any custom ROMs on my S3). I'm wanting to get closet to stock 4.4.4 as possible. Can I use the Nexus 5 4.4.4 firmware on my phone? Or will it not work due to it being GSM?

If this won't work, can anyone recommend a ROM of the latest android version that is closest to stock as possible? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1heffer:
I wouldn't recommend flashing anything on an s3 that isn't made for s3, unless of course you happen to like buying new phones to replace a brick that you made.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Wrong firmware = BRICK

Before you flash ANYTHING read, read, read,...then read some more.

[Asus Transformer TF701] lexelby:
I noticed the other day that even with all volume sliders at 100%, my tf701t is significantly quieter than it used to be. I've restored a nandroid, wiped data, even accidentally wiped EVERTHING including all of my files (turns out that the bootloader's wipe option kills your internal SD card contents, too... argh!). Nothing at all seems to increase the sound volume.

I have this feeling I might have caused this with a bit of (perhaps unwise) tinkering. I have ubuntu running in a chroot, and I was poking around and seeing if I could get sound working from the ubuntu side. I saw that with root (or with my user added to the right group) I can run alsamixer and get at all sorts of interesting little sliders. I experimented a fair bit, seeing if raising various sliders and unmuting various channels would let me get sound to play using alsa's aplay command. None of that panned out and I abandoned my effort.

Fast forward to yesterday, days and several reboots after I did the above tinkering, and I noticed that the speaker output was barely audible. I've poked around in alsamixer, and I can get it a BIT louder by unmuting a couple of the channels, but it's nowhere near actually useful volume. I'm not at all sure I caused this by tinkering with alsamixer, but I'm also not at all sure I didn't. I wouldn't have expected any changes I made to survive a reboot, but maybe the tegra chip does things weirdly.

Anyone have any ideas?

If anyone's feeling especially helpful, it would be incredibly useful to me if you could get me the normal alsa mixer channel values. Here's how you can do it with the least amount of fuss (root required of course):

grab "Complete Linux Installer" from the market -- I swear this isn't a plug :)

Follow the tutorial to grab the "core" version of ubuntu 13.10.

get it all set up and boot it up

when it asks, don't run vnc or sshd

open a second terminal, and run these commands:

su

umount /data/local/mnt/dev/pts

mount -t bind /dev /data/local/mnt/dev

mount -t devpts devpts /data/local/mnt/dev/pts

Now, back in the first terminal, do this:

apt-get install alsa-utils

amixer contents > useful_data_for_lexelby.txt

Grab that file and post it here :)

I realize that's a lot of effort to ask of you folks -- just hoping someone will have pity on a poor amateur android tinkerer :) Some linux knowledge would probably be useful, as I've glossed over a few of the setup details. Thanks in advance to any brave souls willing to give this a try.
[Asus Transformer TF701] YayYouFixedIt:

Doesnt linux deploy mount all these things anyway? Running the mixer from linux deploy doesnt let me changed volume levels as far as I know. It does show the sound devices. Might it be that some things are read only. Try installing it possibly with Archlinux which im using. Maybe itll fix it for you in some magical way ;)
[Asus Transformer TF701] lexelby:
Oh! That's almost exactly what I need. They only thing is that I forgot to mention that I need the mixer values for card 1 -- it defaults to sound card 0, which is the hdmi output. It looks like your Linux installer did the bind mount of /dev just fine. Not sure why Compete Linux Installer doesn't, but it should. I ended up hacking the startup script to mount /dev properly.

Thanks so much for your help!
[Asus Transformer TF701] YayYouFixedIt:
Oh right. Lots more information here.
[Asus Transformer TF701] YayYouFixedIt:
And with linuxdeploy you can VNC into as if it were some kind of RASPBERRY PI OR BEAGLEBOARD advertised to you for all of eternity!!
[Asus Transformer TF701] lexelby:
Thanks so much for providing that amixer output!

Yeah, the one I used does vnc, but performance is pretty pitiful. I use XSDL from the market, a direct x11 server. Supports more apps (chrome crashes on vnc for me) and it's much faster -- almost like a real Linux box.
[Asus Transformer TF701] YayYouFixedIt:
Very cool, I see with XSDL you can stream a Linux app directly to the tablet Like intelliJ/android studio for example looks exactly the same. Only thing is I couldnt see the on screen keyboard it mentions in the settings.

EDIT: Oh it looks like you have to use the default keyboard.
[Asus Transformer TF701] aderoose:
How did you fix it?

So, did you ever solve the problem with the internal speaker volume? I'm having a similar issue after rooting and installing a custom ROM. I ended up going back to Jellybean to solve a battery drain issue I was having.
[Asus Transformer TF701] lexelby:
Actually, no, I never did find a fix. I tried various other ROMs, but none fixed it. I think my initial theories that I broke it by tinkering with alsamixer were unfounded, and this is just some weird hardware flaw. I bought a little battery-powered speaker which helps a bit.
[Asus Transformer TF701] babusek:
I have same problem

Hi, I have same problem with quiet speaker. Today I did my first root of android device by these instructions. Root was successful and then during using my tablet I realized the speaker is very quiet. After root I did only one thing - removed file /system/vendor/lib/mediadrm/libwvdrmengine.so which was the part of solution of battery drain problem described here. Sound via external speakers connected by jack into tablet is ok.

I tried fastboot recovery, wipe data and cold start, but still same problem. Even loading removed file back wasn't helpful.

If you anybody has resolved same problem, thank you for advice, how to repair it. I hope this problem has a solution.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Fanaticalism:
My Buddy wanted me to debloat his T-Mobile S5 so I went ahead and did the usual but I accidentally uninstalled an antivirus app that had administrative rights and now there is a ghost app in his drawer. I did not bother creating a backup as I had no intentions of reinstalling it. I know I can hide the app using xposed framework but wanted to delete it entirely.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] koolboyztn:
have u tried to reinstall the app?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
Always make a backup. Taking shortcuts like that put your friend's data at unnecessary risk and caused your current problem.

You didn't give is any details of whether Titanium is able to cleanup the mess? If not, then try fixing it by reinstalling the antivirus so that it is then stable enough to uninstall in the conventional manner.

.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Fanaticalism:
The play store recognizes the app as still installed and only gives me the option to deactivate the app. When I do that it force closes.

Agreed on the shortcuts.

I was not aware that titanium may be able to clean it up. I'll research it. As far as the app goes, I responded to that above.

Thanks to the both of you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
If the phone is rooted or if you temporarily root it, you can delete the antivirus app with a file explorer (or from the commamd line).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Fanaticalism:
I'll install es file explorer and take care of it that way. Thank you

[MX Player] sidamos77:
I have 2 problems with MX Player on the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0:

1.

HW+ mode crashes MX Player. I already sent a crash report.

2.

Aspect is not always correct. For example, I have a 720x576 16:9 file and the tablet is 16:10, so I should have small black bars at the top and bottom when using fit to screen mode and full width. But it uses full width and way too big black bars. Also, 100% mode is full width, which is not correct either. I can only use stretch mode, but then the aspect is a little off (16:10 vs 16:9).

The same file works with the correct aspects in MX Player on all my other devices (Nexus 5, LG G Pad, China 7" tablet).

The same file has correct aspect on the Tab 4 using Dice Player or the Samsung Video Player.

MX Player thinks the file is 1024x576 on all devices (even those where the aspect shows correct).

Any help/hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
A lot more information if anyone is to do more than make random guesses. We'd like to help, but we're not psychic.

Without any information or details all I can suggest is a brute force, sledgehammer approach. Download Kies from the Samsung site and install the most recent, full OEM image. That should obliterate whatever software issue that you have. And your personal information too.

If you have dropped your phone and physically damaged the button, then have the button replaced.

I am looking for tweaks to do the following on my MDA (Tmo USA, WM5, 2.26 rom)::

Disable Clearvue PDF and instead enable Adobe as default PDF viewer (Clearvue sucks, I want my PDF files to open natively using Adobe-- if I click on the PDF file Adobe opens it, currently Clearvue does this)

Set TCPMP as my default media and make Windows only activate if I want it to (so if I click on a media file it opens in TCPMP instead of opening in windows...currently I have to activate media by going through TCPMP, I want it to do that natively-- click on media file and TCPMP opens it)

I am not great at tweaking my registry, so if you know how to do this, please tell me in the "For Dummies" version (I use PHMRegedit)...and I have already checked the Adobe, TCPMP sites and googled on how to do this through the apps itself. Please help me.

[General Questions and Answers] Evitcho:
Hello,

Administrators, if I posted this in the wrong area I apologize and please let me know.

I have a Samsung Mega (SPH-L600) with a bad ESN as my target phone. My donor phone is a Samsung SII (SPH-d710) both have been rooted.

I have successfully flashed the Mega over to Boost using the guides provided on this site along with others. The one thing I am having an issue with which seems to be common problem is the data. I am not able to get data and the phone is still trying to register itself and failing. I am able to make and send phone calls along with text messages. It has also downloaded all of the boost applications and wallpaper.

I am 95% positive my issue is the AAA Shared Secret key and HH Shared Secret Key. I am not able to locate the correct NV Items on the donor phone. They are not appearing on CDMA Workshop. So I believe that is why it is not allowing data or registering the phone.

I have saved all of the NV items from donor phone the only ones that seem to have anything in them are 474, 579, 1206. That resemble a AAA or HH. I am hoping someone can steer me in the right direction in correcting this issue. I have screen shots along with all the information for both phones.

The programs I am using are DFS CDMA Tool v.14.6.1.0, CDMA Workshop 2.7, QXDM Professional, and QPST Configuration. I have included the links and guides that I have used and researched on this site. I have used a few others but will stick with the ones from this site.
