[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] DroidJP:
I am starting to realize that. I think the bootloader is now locked

Kernel version

3.4.39-2903595

Fri Nov 7 10:51 KST 2014

That's probably what got updated. I got the phone in Oct. The days of android being open are over. I think Samsung is taking note from moto and LG. Those phone are notorious for having locked bootloaders.

Did you boot your phone in download mode first. Won't work if it's not.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] DrGreenLeaf:
So, has anyone confirmed that this works on the latest version, after the most recent update? I am using a metro pcs version of this phone, and want it rooted... am on the latest kernal update.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] Unjustified Dev:
It works you need to use Odin version 3.9 as stated. It failed to flash with older versions. Once I flashed this one I rooted and manually installed mine I built.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] DrGreenLeaf:
Am pretty sure i have odin 3.0 i use a netbook to flash my phones, and the newer version of odin doesn't fit my screen. I am not able to move the control panel around to see the button to start the flash. I had to downgrade to version 3.0 then it fits on my screen.... i think i may be hosed... am gonna pick up an extra galaxy light tomorrow, then will start flashing. Thanks, may have more questions for you after tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] Planterz:
You mean 3.0, right? I just flashed your 2.8.1.0 and it's working fine.

[MENTION=5301770]M3gaBit3[/MENTION] thinks that the latest firmware update might have locked the bootloader. Downgrade to the previous version via Odin and you should be able to flash TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] DrGreenLeaf:
I was actually referring to my version of odin. But it's 1.85.

My issue is that I'm using my netbook to flash my phones. The control panel(window) for odin 3.9 or later doesn't fit my netbooks display.. i can't move it on my screen to get to all the buttons, i cant initiate the flash....

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sawyerbenjamin:
I've noticed lately that CM11 is using abnormal amounts of memory. It doesn't slow my phone down all that much, but it's just bothering me because I know its not supposed to. Before I got this G2, my S3 ran CM10.2 and it used a ton less memory (between 4 and 600mb).

And from what I know, KitKat is supposed to use less resources.

I also have a normal amount of processes running. Just basic apps like Snapchat, Kik, Voice and Voice+, and all the normal Google services that always run. I even uninstalled FB cause I barely use it and at any given time it would be using up 70mb, and it made no difference,

I cant just keep killing my apps cause they reopen automatically. Even when I do, it doesn't even make a temporary difference. Even when I kill the cached apps.

Its just really bothering me. Any suggestions?

I have a couple screenshots.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username4this:
It bothers me so much that people still don't know how Android runs and manages resources.

It's not Windows, it's not MacOS, it's Android, it allocates everything on the RAM so that it can be accessed faster, and this improves load times, multitasking, etc.

Free RAM is pretty much wasted RAM and please, do not install task killers nor kill tasks manually. Android does it alone and does it better. Whenever it needs free RAM it will shut down something that's not being used and haven't been used in a long time to free that RAM up.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prowsterz:
As two others have stated, free RAM is wasted RAM. I only have about 600mb of RAM free on the Optimus G3 ROM.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sawyerbenjamin:
I hope I don't sound stupid. It's just more of an OCD thing. Just a couple days ago and prior to that, my phone stuck around 750-850mb. Now its using a over a gig 100% of the time and its just bothering me. I figured there was an actual reason for this. Maybe its from Xposed modules? I never noticed it until I started using Xposed a couple days ago.

But its not a big deal I guess.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebar71:
If you're not having actual performance issues as a result, then don't worry about it. If you always have X amount of free RAM, then you don't need that RAM. As has already been stated, free/unused RAM is wasted RAM. Something most people don't understand about how computers work is that storage and RAM and two completely separate things. Storage is just that - STORAGE. Nothing runs directly from storage. RAM is where things run. When you - or the system - goes to run an application, it gets read from the slow storage and loaded into the much faster RAM and runs from there. This is why more RAM is better (notice I didn't say more free RAM). It allows more applications to be cached in RAM ready to run fast - or to keep more services loaded to allow for more cool features.

More RAM is better, but if you're always clearing it out to keep X amount free and then reloading the same apps again, you are doing yourself no favors from a performance perspective. I am sure you have plenty available at all times for the system to load new apps. It will kill them on its own either when it needs to, or when it sees that haven't accessed that app after a certain amount of time.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sawyerbenjamin:
I am 100% fully aware of what Random Access Memory is and what purpose it serves, and I can distinguish it from storage. I know far more than the very basics of a computer. I was just wondering what was using all the extra RAM up. It was bothering me because prior, my phone was using a lot less. Idk why you assumed I didn't understand what RAM and storage was.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebar71:
Read your own post again and see if you can figure out why i thought it needed explaining.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sawyerbenjamin:
Yeah I didn't mention storage once.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebar71:
EDIT: No, you didn't mention storage. But just by asking the question, people generally are demonstrating a clear lack of understanding about how computers work. I usually just keep quiet, but every now and then, I feel compelled to fully explain it in the hope that the topic won't return. Alas, it always does.

If you could post you exact model number i can post a direct link to get it working. If your unsure how to find this. Simplu look under the battery. It should be something like l720 or l720t.

[One (M8) General] redpoint73:
What's the absurdity? You understood the risks when you unlocked the bootloader; and in fact long before that since you're experienced with modding phones. And if HTC doesn't have inventory for the $20 swap, than there isn't anything they can do about that. Its not like they can make stock magically appear out of nowhere.

Did you try to leave the phone on the wall charger overnight, and see if the charging LED returned or you can power on, or get into bootloader?
[One (M8) General] mj23kb24:
I just think that if it is purely a hardware issue and they deny me warranty over a software unlock then its bogus. Also I think its sad that a phone company does not have enough inventory.

I did and no power whats so ever. No charging LED and phone just sit off, I would love to even get into the bootloader at this point or to even see any signs of life.
[One (M8) General] xxquicksh0txx:
Running completely different software on your phone can cause hardware problems. There are so many different variables that could have gone wrong, leading your phone to overheat. Especially considering it was a Nightly.

"...if they find anything that they can conclude I did to cause the phone a shorter life span than I will be given a quote to fix my phone via email."

Overclocking at all will reduce the life span. Which I'm not saying you have, but it's pretty much common practice around here. (I certainly have)

Maybe you should take the warning it gives you about unlocking your phone more seriously. And not blame HTC for wanting to fix a problem you caused.
[One (M8) General] mj23kb24:
I guess so. I just figured that many other HTC phones have had this problem in the past (Including the M8) so it was just something on their end.

Also I have never OC'ed but have UC'ed.
[One (M8) General] redpoint73:
Ideologically I agree that they should not deny you warranty for a hardware issue. But its the terms of their warranty and the terms of the bootloader unlock (both of which are spelled out clearly) that you have voided the warranty.

Keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best.
[One (M8) General] DeathmonkeyGTX:

I looked on all the other forums and found nothing...

ok so my friend's kindle got stuck in a bootloop somehow (i don't know how)

so they asked me to fix it since i have the fastboot cable...

it boots into fastboot perfectly so stupidly i wipe every partition without backing up

i tried to flash twrp via fastboot so now i'm stuck at the boot logo (non animated)

anyway i think what i need is system.img and boot.img i'm not sure though...

if anyone could upload those somewhere i could probably fix this thing...

Hey guys I may buy an s3 LTE and I have some questions

- how is storage devided in this phone(how much for /system /data ....)

- if i root , factory reset , install custom ROM on a phone that i unlock will it be relocked again(sim lock)?

- am i able to install same ROMs on a locked phone(orange locked for example)

Thx in advance
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] MaHo_66:
- Total internal device memory is 16 gb from which 4.96 gb is used for starting up the system, the rest is for you. you can of course also use a external sd card up to 32 or 64 gb for extra storage

- once unlocked, it'll stay unlocked afaik.

- i think having a carrier locked or unlocked sim will not be a problem with custom roms, you will be able to install what you want after rooting and installing custom recovery

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaiserOrn:
Hello everyone,

I'm here to seek guidance on a problem that has arisen with the mobile phone of my friend. The phone concerned is the Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i. He told me that he accidentally put the stock ROM of the S5830 (without i) and since that moment on every boot it stops every times at the screen with name of the smartphone. Do you have any idea what happened? it is a hardbrick or soft brick? How could we try to solve the problem?

Thank you very much

Ivan aka KaiserOrn
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
See if you can enter the Recovery Mode and Download Mode. If you can enter the Download Mode, then its just a soft-brick. You can solve this by just flashing the stock rom back using odin from Download Mode. If you can neither enter the Recovery Mode nor Download Mode, then its a hard-brick. In this case, you can try using USB Jig to force open the Download Mode. But let me tell you beforehand it is not always guaranteed to work. If USB Jig did work, then it will force open the Download Mode so you can flash stock rom back using odin. If USB Jig doesn't work either, then your last option is to consult the Service Center. Do post the result. Hope I Helped :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaiserOrn:
I have tried like u said me and i have notice that only recovery mode can be reached, the download mode do not start. Do u have any ideas? I must create a USB Jig or can i fix with odin ??
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You can't fix with odin since you can't enter Download Mode. Since you can enter CWM, do Wipe data/ factory partition, Wipe cache partition, Mounts & Storage> Format /system, Advanced> Wipe Dalvik cache from CWM and then install a custom rom for your device from it. See if it works. If that doesn't work either, then you can try using USB Jig or consulting Service Center. The problem with USB Jig is that it is not always guaranteed to work. There are cases where it did work with S5830i but there are also cases where it didn't work. So it is more or less a gamble. You can either buy one or make one. To make a USB Jig, follow the instructions here. You can always consult the Service Center and they are guaranteed to revive your phone but might be a bit costly. Do post the result. Hope I Helped :)

Hi there, due to the fact that the search option doesn't work with less then 4 characters, i can't search for "sms".

But here's my real problem:

I've flashed different roms into my mda vario, after unlocking it. First the Molski.biz rom, then the last original t-mobile rom, but it was toooo slow, i've imediatly deleted it, en flashed the mr clean rom.

But in all roms i have some delay in recieving sms-messages.

Half the time they appear directly after they were sent by my friends, but sometimes i get them after a few hours. for example: it was sent at 15:00, and i received it at 17:30.

And sometimes i don't get any sms-messages, and after an soft-reset, i get 10 at one time, all delayed.

does anyone know what to do about it? or what causes it?

Regards,

Twan

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] frazell:
Sounds like a network issue to me...

The network isn't registering the phone or something similar. For SMS the towers "push" the messages to the phone. Queuing them when they don't detect the phone on the network. If the phone is on the network and not getting the messages until it is reset and forced to re-acquire its signal than it is a network problem.

I've seen this problem on a few networks regardless of phone make and model.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bilbo_28:
I would agree with the above, its a provider issue not a phone issue.

I have a debate with Orange about 10 years ago about not getting text messeges when I loose and then regain service. I was told that when a text is sent to a phone that is off or lost a signal the message is stored until a set time has passed and then delivery is retried, thus getting all the messages at once. The way 'around' this is the disconnect the phone from the network and re-connect. This forces a scan of the message queues and again you will get all messages in one go.

I would assume going in to Flight Mode and back will do the same thing as a soft boot, but I have not tested this.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] TwanS:
Okay,

so i could suggest it's not quitte an rom- or wizzard-issue, but a network-issue.

I also think going to flightmode and back will solve the problem. So we will hear from you if that's a solution?

I'm busy reflashing a new rom into my wizzard.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bilbo_28:
I would hope that as you seeing the problem that you could test this. I get all my texts on time (luckely) so I can't help you I am afraid, I can just share my thoughts.

Is smartskey blocking it?

Also, closing a window by clicking on the X also kicks the message to come through

Hi

My Z2 is only a few days old, and today I decided to submerge it in water for the first time, so I dipped it in the pool (only a few centimeters deep), while recording a 4k video, for about 10 seconds.
