[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Navani:
This may or may not be my first post but I've been on this forum for years now - I hope this attests to my searching ability and tells you that I am not someone who is lazy and didn't look up answers (Skip the next paragraph if you don't want to read the steps leading up to my issue).

I have a Galaxy S3 from Sprint. I'm running the newest Cyanogenmod on it (running 4.4.3) and I hate how large everything looks. Couldn't find a solution, so I decided to try and restore my old backup. The MD5 check failed, and the only backup I have that works is from May, or three backups ago. I read that I can force it to load by accessing the hash file and deleting the contents but I can't find my backups.

I've searched online several times and the only backup I can find on any Explorer (ES File Explorer, Astro Manager, File Manager) is the one from May which is on my ExtSD. It doesn't show up on my computer either when connected by USB. Booting into Recovery shows me the backups. I'm searching with hidden and protected files viewable/editable. I would've sworn to you before typing this that the other folders which showed up alongside the clockworkmod one were 0/ and [something else] but when I went to check again before posting this I saw that CWM says they're in the sdcard/clockworkmod/backup folder. I've attached screenshots to show you what I see.

Any help is greatly appreciated and my apologies if this has been discussed, but I've looked in every folder suggested and did a phone-wide search - nothing!

UPDATE: Okay so when I select "Choose ZIP" it brings me to /sdcard/ which has 0/ clockworkmod/ legacy/ and obb/ .... The clockworkmod folder has all of my backups but I can't access it while booted or from my computer via mount USB storage (which makes sense because it's not on my external). I read that I might be able to pull the files using ADB but I haven't used that in years and would rather see if there's a different solution.

(also, my girlfriend thinks I have a nice phone!!!!)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyhdownsouth:
1st off, I assume your running regular ClockworkMod recovery. MD5 mismatch is a common problem. To fix this you must use root explorer, go into the backup file, find the folder that says MD5, erase everything inside. Then your backup should work. I suggest you try Philz CWM advanced. This issue won't happen again once your on Philz recovery. I used to have this problem all the time. The more I look at the images you posted, looks like your backup is corrupt. Not enough storage taken for a backup.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Navani:
MY APOLOGIES for being so late to respond - I got caught up with work and then forgot.

I SOLVED MY PROBLEM

Part of the problem was a corrupted backup. I followed this nice person's post to fix my recovery.

The main part was the hidden storage - My ES Explorer said it had root access but it apparently wasn't showing me everything. I ended up reinstalling a different version from an APK (not the market) and it worked. I was able to access my backups and delete them to clear up space. I'm not really sure what happened because my friend was using the same version of the program and was able to access it so I'm guessing it was an isolated incident. For the record, I reinstalled it from the Market a couple times and it didn't work.

Thank you everyone for your help, and I hope this thread can help people in the future!

Simple tutorial in how to install G900MZTO1ANE4 on G900A

Hi everybody!

As many of you get a nice G900A from AT&T but lack the languages even if they are enabled.

Languages came inside eack application, so you should replace all with the international versions.

I tried this at first, and phone keeped on crashing.

So first of all get the Stock Firmware from here!

This is very usefull so you can allways reflash the phone again and again... I needed to do it several times until i managed to fix this:

What you will need:

1- EFS Professional from here

2- My EFS Pro G900M backup from here

3- Start your phone

4- Enable unknown sources in config|security

5- Enable USB Debuging in Development Mode (tap some times in config|about device|build number)

6- Root it with TowelRoot

7- Reboot anyway

8- Install BusyBox

(you may download and save towelroot and busybox to the sd card so you can skip all nonsense on starting)

9- Run busybox and allow it to install all stuff.

10- On your PC, extract the EFS Professional to some place.

11- Run EFS pro

12- Accept RSA on computer and shell on ADB

13- On EFS Pro select the Backup tab

14- On Device Filters select ***All Partitions***

15- Deselect All

16- Select efs (/dev/block/mmcblk0p12)

17 Backup this

Now EFS Pro will have created a folder named EFSProBackup

18- Copy the SAMSUNG-SM-G900A_G900MZTO1ANE4.tar.gz to this folder

19- Go to the Restore Tab and Refresh Backup Archives

You may now see both files, the SAMSUNG-SM-G900A_some_numbers_here.tar.gz and SAMSUNG-SM-G900A_G900MZTO1ANE4.tar.gz

If the names are different and you only see the backup file you just did, just rename the G900M file to start similarly to the one you saved.

20- Select the file SAMSUNG-SM-G900A_G900MZTO1ANE4.tar.gz(pc)

EFS Pro will copy file to the device

21- Select the boot.img and the system.img.ext4 and Restore.

22- You may enter in recovery and clean all to factory default and start your device now with full G900M system.

Hope this helps for now until we unlock the flash.

Best regards to all

Hi,

I try to extract Languages from G900F for every USA S5 deviecs (Like Arabic and hebrew etc.)

But i don't what to do, your Instructions & G900M will bring me those (Heb & Arab lang) or all the Languages to every USA S5 Devices?

SM-G900A /G900T /G900W8/ G900M /G900T1 what if I try your files on Non-US devices ?

What this guide does? (/dev/block/mmcblk0p12) ?

What are the risks ?

It won't Brick the Device?

What about KNOX it will trip?

It will Prevent get OTA updates?

Can I use this guide on S4 / Note 3 ? (of course i will get other EFS files from Note 3 / S4)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Polekat:
Another option is to download a different keyboard from the play store, they usually don't require root and never require a computer. Many support a long list of languages and have a lot of emoji's. Just read the list of supported languages before download. After that, go to settings > language and input > keyboard, deselect the stock keyboard and select your new keyboard, then hit the gear next to it to select it's particular settings. After that, go to the settings on Google and select your language (this also enables the "translate" button when viewing peges in other languages if you enable Google translate). I believe that the play store MAY have a similar setting. After that you should be good to go on a stock ROM. I hope that helps you. ?

Hi,

I'm trying to backup my samsung omnia7 phone with WPBackup in order to put the latest Dynamics ROM on it.

(I want to keep my sms history, contacts, custom settings, apps...)

I've already installed all prerequisites on my W7x64 computer and my device is a stock and fully updated omnia7, interop unlocked and with WP7 root tools.

My problem is that i can't connect my phone to WMDC, it always says "not connected", so that's why WPBackup stays unable to see my phone, i guess.

Could anyone tell me how to reach my goal, please ?

I cant find an original (stock) rom of the note 3 N9005 4g/Lte version

else I'd try to flash an original one on it... if any of you have one laying around...

So I'm asking what can I do to override the write protection or bypass it?

Or can a recovery or a rom be overwritten with the lock on and if so how?

When I enter recovery mode (Vol Up + Pow + Home)

It gives a blue line recovery booting

then a yellow one unreadable due to speed

then next screen gives me Custom binary blocked by reactivation lock

secure fail Recovery

and then the phone remains unresponsive so I remove the battery.

When I enter Downloadmode it gives me:

I've got HTC Inspire 4G like about 6-7months ago., ever since then i was flashing different roms on it. Though all my installations were Clean Wiped and fresh install,even with the nightlies. But recently i've discovered that device doesn't hold much after fresh install.

All problem starts after 20140615 nightly of CM11 made by Mustaavalcosta. Problem is i can't able to install any rom which made after that date. So i've contacted him and he provided me as much as can.

But Since i'm the only one who is actually having issue with nightlies so he offered me to format devlog partition using .zip provided by him. I did and provide him a recovery.log where he couldn't able to trace any issue.

Now condition of the device is like, If i reboot my device, it will hangs in bootloop and doesn't boot. Until i flash boot.img via fastboot. But then also it will reboot atleast twice with 5-10 sec interval and on 3rd reboot it will boot normally. So is it some sort of Hardware failure issue? Also before formatting devlog partition i've made full backup of device but it seems like after Full wipe and restoring device from backup,It reboots twice as i mentioned earlier,Only way to work around is to flash boot.img then it will boot properly on 3rd reboot all happens automatically.

Hi there!

Try this guide from your device section about solving stuck at boot issues. Its quite old, so any firmware it suggests to flash may be older than yours....but read through the thread, there may be links to firmware that match yours.....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1396229

You can try fresh stock install or another ROM. Also, a factory reset and cache and dalvik cache wipe often fix boot issues. Ask for further help in the thread I've linked. ?

Hi guys.

I'm trying to down grade my SGH-I317 rom from 4.3 to 4.1 in order to unlock it. I've done the system wipe and cleared cache ,but when I attempt to flash the 4.1 rom in recovery it gives the error message "e signature verification failed".

Does this indicate that I need to flash a different rom like Cynogen or Clockwork BEFORE trying to flash 4.1? Or is there something else I've skipped over that could cause the failure? Or is it the file itself that's not compatible?

4.3 rom is stock JB

Which guide are you following? Typically the revert to 4,1.x is done with an Odin flash rather than recovery.

If you are on the 4.3 bootloader or higher you use UCALJ2. Otherwise you can use UCAMA4 or UCALJ2.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
The device has (2)....3 button combinations that are used to access either the recovery....or download mode...

Recovery is used for flashing the most common .zip format...like a CM rom...

Download mode..(Odin mode)...is used to push a complete package to the device...that generally includes a radio image, recovery, and in some cases the bootloader...and these files are generally a .tar or .img. designated file...

Using volume up, power, and home buttons at the same time will boot you into recovery...

Using volume down, power, and home buttons at the same time will put the device into download mode...

The difference between the two modes is very important when flashing files...so read carefully before selecting modes or files to flash...g

Sounds like an hardware issue. But lets try some of there fixes first.

It might be the Router as mine has done this to me before. Unplug it, count to 30 and plug it back in.

If not the router, I would try flashing the latest stock ROM using Odin to see if it fixes it first.

1. Download Odin 3.07 (i like this version the best)

2. then go to Sammobile.com and make an account and download the stock ROM for it. Go for the firmware section and get your ROM. Get the latest versions.

3. FLASH.

If that doesn't work, I would look at it as having some form of hardware issues. :confused:

First of all, never go S-ON

and your problem is, because you flashed custom rom's and kernals, your data/preload folder has been wiped, it contains loads of files like flashlight.apk and calculator.apk etc etc,, it gets wiped when you clear data, and is a nightmare to try and get back, if its ever possible.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
Since there are some missing files in the /data/preload folder of your phone. I don't know if this will work, but the missing files can be found in an OTA for your phone. Look in the /data/preload folder of the OTA zip and extract only the APK ones. Then you can place them in the same root folder on your phone. You will need root access to accomplish this. The other option is to find the RUU for your phone and run it. It will put everything back to stock.
