[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolsthoorn:
Hi,

This is my first post here on the XDA forum so if I make any mistakes, please do tell.

So, I got a Galaxy Ace 2 (I8160) which was running unrooted and stock at Android 2.3.6 (if I recall correctly).

I decided I wanted the phone to run at a newer Android version (KitKat preferred), so I decided to look into Cyanogenmod 11.0.

I succesfully installed the Clockworkmod Recovery after soms attempts and after that I was able to install Cyanogenmod 11.0 running on Android 4.4.4.

My first impression was positive, until I noticed I regularly got some error messages about com.android.phone which stopped working.

On top of this, the phone had no service and I was unable to make any calls (also selecting a service provider made com.android.phone crash).

After a lot of looking around on the internet, I found out this could be caused because I flashed Cyanogenmod 11.0 directly from Android 2.3.6.

On another tutorial I read I should've flashed Cyanogenmod 11.0 from any Jellybean version but as I stated earlier, I flashed it from a Gingerbread version.

On another forum I found someone who used to have the same issue and stated that he made the same mistake as I did (flashing from a non-Jellybean version).

He said he flashed a stock Jellybean ROM to his phone, installed Clockworkmod Recovery and at last flashed Cyanogenmod again and everything seemed to be working just fine.

I decided to do the same and flashed a stock Jellybean ROM for the I8160 using Odin v3.07.

After Odin told me the flash process passed, the phone rebooted but was stuck at the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 logo.

When trying to get into the recovery, I got the same problem and the only thing I saw was the startup logo.

If I'd turn off the phone and plug in to my computer (which normally shows the battery percentage) it'd be stuck at the loading icon (normally this loading icon is visible for about 5 seconds and after that the battery percentage is visible).

I'm still able to get into download mode, so I tried reflashing the same ROM but unfortunately without success.

I used the following stock ROM: samsung-updates.com/details/28857/Galaxy_Ace_2/GT-I8160/XEN/I8160XXNB1.html.

I've been using the Cyanogenmod 11.0 and GApps files from: maclaw.pl/downloads/.

Does anybody have any idea about how I coud fix this?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Just tried flashing a stock ROM with Android 2.3.6, problem is still there: samsung-updates.com/details/18868/Galaxy_Ace_2/GT-I8160/H3G/I8160NELG2.html

In my opinion, You should flash 3-parted Firmware

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53921158&postcount=8

PS. Sorry for my bad English.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolsthoorn:
Thanks for you reply.

I came across this 3-parted firmware flash a few hours ago.

I'm trying it right now. I'll let you know what the results are.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolsthoorn:
Alright, another update. (My problem seems to be fixed!)

At first I tried downloading the 3 files neccessary for the new flash method, but for some reason it'd take me hours to download them.

I started looking on the internet for the same files and found a torrent link on another forum leading to a torrent file uploaded here, on the XDA forums: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1757643&d=1361735404.

I downloaded the files in the torrent and used them properly in Odin.

The flashing process started and at about 80% Odin gave me a nasty error message saying the flash failed...

At that moment I was seriously hopeless and pretty sure I've just succesfully hard-bricked my phone.

I tried to start it and I got a weird message saying a firmware update went wrong and that I should fix it using Samsung Kies.

As it stated, I tried using Samsung Kies but was unable to get my phone to work.

I was out of options so I decided to give the 3-way flashing method a second chance.

Oding started flashing and for some reason finished succesfully this time.

The phone reboots, and shows the 'Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160' message for a few minutes.

After that the Samsung logo pops up and I've waited for another few minutes until a new screen pops up.

I see the Android guy and a blue progress bar underneath and patiently waits untill it's done.

After this I see the Samsung logo again and the phone finally boots to Android! Great Success! :D

Conclusion in my case: The 3-parted firmware seemed to do the trick for me.

As I stated above, the first flash failed but the second one was totally succesfully and revived my phone.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluffi444:
Yeb - you can use also the 3-parted MB4 (which was an very early JB FW).

But as the MB4 is not 100% complete - I still recommend only to use the 3-parted FWs linked by me (which ChuckMichael shows you)

But anyway - If your Phone booted you are done - You do not need to to it again. Just flash afterwards the newst original FW available.

I got my One Plus One invite today but trying to decide if it's worth it. I currently have a HTC One M7 which is still running pretty well. Any comments from the community?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrashTestDroid:
As an example of my personal opinion of the OPO, somebody offered me a trade for their NIB Galaxy S5 (G900W8) and I didn't take it. It's a beautiful, inexpensive, functional, unlocked piece of well made hardware. You don't get the SAMOLED from Samsung or HTC speakers but then you also don't suffer from Knox or locked bootloaders or voided warranty from rooting your phone.

If you don't like it then sell it on. Everybody should get one.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keda:
I always wonder how people get their invites, how did you get yours?:cyclops:
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris123NT:
Yes, buy it. I did and I don't regret it. It's easily unlocked, runs CM out of the box which is awesome, nice size (I have large hands though so take that as it is) and the one thing that surprised me is that it has good cell reception, it blows my nexus 5 out of the water and keeps pace with and even surpasses my moto x in signal in some areas.

So yes, buy it, you won't be disappointed.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movielover76:
Same question here

I just got an invite myself and I'm asking myself the same question.

I've been interested in trying a phone in the phablet category, I think that's mostly what has my attention, the screen size.

I currently have a N5, and I get a reliable 4 hours SOT and 24 hours standby with it on 4.4 and I love the optical image stabilization.

I think that's what I'd miss the most about my N5, I have somewhat shaky hands.

From what I've heard and read and my experience with cyanogenmod battery life, I don't think that there's going as huge of a difference in battery life and I really don't need more than my N5 gives me.

Also, I was kind of holding out for new phones that will support T-mobile band 12 for LTE.

Still that large beautiful screen calls out to me, lol.

If I can't decide by the end of the day, I may just buy it to give myself some more time to think about it.

I can sell it, if I decide against it.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sushibagel:
To be honest I don't know how I got mine either. I was part of their forum just prior to announcement and have been entering every time I did see a change to try to win an invite.

But thanks everyone for your feedback I decided to buy, it's just too good to pass up.

Its been 3years since i bought this device and spent with xda for atleast 2 and half years :cool:. Those were the days where development used to be on full swing.

Thank you for the help.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zalmoxis12:
But what is it exactly? What does it mean?

I mean I already did Autorec and all I know is that it downgraded the bootloader. No idea what that actually means, so I can understand what happened and more importantly how can I restore it (i.e upgrade it back) and what are the consequences of these actions.

Any developer around that can actually explain?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simon_lefisch:
Jellybean (12B) was the last bootloader to be able to be used with loki (the exploit to be able to flash custom recoveries/ROMs/kernels). Google patched the bootloader in the KitKat update (24A) so loki was useless. You could root, but couldn't flash the previously mentioned items. Being able to downgrade the bootloader allowed this. So even tho you'd be running KK, you're using a JB bootloader.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zalmoxis12:
I know this. I was asking what the bootloader actually is and how does it relate and connect with the other partitions.

Is it like some sort of MBR?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simon_lefisch:
http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com/definition/boot-loader
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
bootloader loads all the partitions and makes sure they work together, two examples of the stuff bootloader handles:

-bootloader boots

-bootloader then loads kernel making sure nothing wrong and if there is then you get no boot and instead you are thrown to fastboot to fix the problem

-after kernel loads bootloader loads system if corrupted/missing you get stuck in a bootloop unless you have custom recovery then you get stuck in recovery

-bootloader loads rest of partitions while the system/kernel begin to boot rom

when doing ota:

-phone reboots and loads bootloader

-bootloader loads ota into a partition on phone designed to decompile and apply ota into system/kernel partitions

-bootloader makes sure that system/ota are correct and compatible to apply update

-bootloader does root check process in the rtf partition and if rooted bootloader cancels ota process

so in short bootloader is most important asset, it is what decides the kernel to boot(you can mod a bootloader so that you can have too kernels and this is also how you create multi boot for boot more than one rom), it boots the rom, and it handles all other partitions in more than one way

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] lanwarrior:
Just to put this context, I bought the Wifi version, which at this stage has no root that will NOT trip KNOX. Additionally, I found that the battery life is poor (bloatware? Unknown since I got no root) and the back of the tablet gets really hot in normal use (browsing Reddit, going to Chrome, etc.) which makes it very uncomfortable when held in Portrait mode.

So I want to get the LTE version since it is rootable without KNOX trip (towelroot) and I can disable most of the bloatware. But want to get the opinions from those who have the LTE version if there is any problem with this version, like overheating, lag, etc..etc..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] lanwarrior:
Hmm, no reply so far after days. So looks like the Note 2014 just have this issues, regardless of the version. I really like the tablet, but too bad Samsung mess it up.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] buhohitr:
My p600 doesn't have heat issue. It's possible that one of the process/app/sync stuck in loop mode which cause your device to heat up. I would disable wifi and remove all accounts and see if the heat went away. Not everyone heat issue is the same as others.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] lanwarrior:
I already reset the tablet 3 times already, setup no account and try to use it normally = heating up. Maybe it occured to specific batch, like this:

Galaxy Tab S heating up and deformed the back

But the heating up is just one of the issue with the Wifi version - battery life is also crappy due to Android OS keeping the tablet awake. See my posts here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2799874

How good is the battery life? 1 day with 3 hours screen on time? I checked Settings --> General --> Battery and "Android OS" always Stay Awake.

The heat is on the right of the camera, if you are facing the screen of the tablet. It is more profound when I held the tablet in portrait mode, but not so in landscape.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] planetf1:
Hmm. tricky to say since i've only had it a week, but today the tablet has been off charge for 6:40 and is sitting at 87%. The screen has been on 35 minutes so a very light day. Android OS has kept the device awake 1:21 (which is bad!) and google play 36m (I was doing some updates. My average drain is 1.8%/hr from this mornings work

I'm running 4.3 (UK BTU) - I'd be on 4.4 if it was out (for BTU)

I don't like that "android OS" keep awake figure personally, though it's not as bad as yours! From reviewing wakelocks it appears "sec-battery-monitor" was 1:07 (not sure where this is accounted for) ,app wakelocks 0:44, but with wlan* activity adding another 1:21 - this is usually network broadcast traffic. I think some kernels/drivers filter broadcast most of the time, others dont. You might want to see if "gsam battery monitor" or a similar tool gives you a breakdown?
