I think white looks the best with this design (especially from the front angles, striking) but the back is a little too noticeable.

Put it this way there are times and places where i want that attention and others where i do not.

Purple is striking because of the colour (unusual) but does not compliment the design as well as white.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erdeebee:
Hello

My situation goes as follows: I'm on a Cyanogenmod 11 nightly, as I flash a new ROM from time to time. So I know how to get into recovery and that kind of things. I've installed TWRP recovery, instead of the CWM one. I'm on a mac by the way.

As I was a little bit fast, I accidentally rebooted into download mode instead of recovery. Now my phone remains that way, only without the info in the top left (normally it says ODIN Mode and four other lines of information).

I tried to get the battery out and to drain the battery, both gave the same result: it booted in "downloading... do not turn off target !!"

I tried ODIN, Kies, Heimdall and adb trough terminal, and even the CM installer; none of these things seemed to recognize my phone.

I've been googling for over two hours now and I'm getting desperate. Is my phone ready for the bricks? I can't go to a shop tomorrow as it is the national holiday in Belgium. So still 32 hours of trying ahead of me...

Any ideas? If you guys have any additional questions, please ask.

Thanks in advance

Try removing the external memory card, if you have one.. and try the hard reset method.. sometimes it may work...search in forum for hard reset methods... or you can connect the phone and continue with odin again to see anything happens...:good:

Whilst in download mode hold power button for about 1 minute until it vibrates? Maybe your buttons are stuck.

Hard reset as in tried to flash trough Kies, I can't do anything else, right?

I do get it into download mode WITH the information, but than Kies simply says there's no phone attached.

Are you familiar with the PC flashing tool Odin? It's specifically for Samsung devices.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/27-08-2013-odin-3-09-odin-1-85-versions-t2189539

Download and install Odin onto your PC it will flash a stock image onto your device (No root, Stock recovery)

http://www.sammobile.com

Head to Sammobile and download your ROM firmware specific to your device.

Run ODIN on your computer and connect your phone.

When it recognizes it, check "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time".

Everything else should be left unchecked.

On your computer, unzip the ROM file you downloaded. It should give you something with the extension of

.tar.md5

Press "PDA" on ODIN and select this file.

Everything should be as shown here: http://gyazo.com/fea7a1c8b7a7b5bb287fb0a0c70056dc

Click Start and wait for it to do it's thing. It'll take quite a few minutes.

When it's finished, you're done.

If it hangs on boot ones it flashed, reboot to Stock Recovery and do a factory reset it should boot up fine now, (also 1st boot takes about 3 minutes.)

Let me know how it goes

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kerzie:
So, I have my T-Mobile SGH-T889 Note II and a few days ago, I was trying to move to a different rom and in the process ended up losing the imei and baseband. I do not have a backup of my efs folder, and none of the common "tricks" to fix it are working. There are no Qualcomm USB settings when I try the *#7284# and flashing the phoneutil.apk file didn't fix that.

It was to the point where the phone wouldn't get wifi or cell signal but after flashing back to 4.1.1 image, Wifi is working and the phone is re-rooted.

So now I basically have a small tablet...

Is there any hope of getting the IMEI/baseband fixed so that my husband can use my note II? I've already upgraded to a note 3.

Attached are the images of the efs folder (imei folder is empty) and also of the About Device area in settings.

[Xposed General] DerailQuestion:
It's quite a simple one I hope. Also, apologies for adding noise to the forum, but I couldn't find any detailed documentation or many tutorials.

I'm making use of findAndHookMethod for a little test project of mine. The problem is, the method which I am hooking has custom classes in its parameters.

Obviously I don't have access to these classes in terms of having the source code imported, so my first thought was just to list the paramaters as Object.class, but this didn't work.

What (if any) are the solutions? Thanks! :)

P.S.

In case I worded it badly. Say I have method to be hooked...

public void methodThatDoesSomething(ThisCustomClass nameOfParameter)

How do I use findAndHookMethod when listing parameters, as ThisCustomClass.class is not within the scope of my project
[Xposed General] GermainZ:
Use a string with the class' full name, e.g. "com.hooked.package.ThisCustomClass".
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunNsnow:
I have the VS985 version of the G3 and got stuck in camera mode: after keeping it in camera over a 40 minute period of time (during an event), I couldn't get out of camera mode. (I couldn't get the home/back icons to pop up.) All screen touches triggered taking a picture.

I ended up rebooting the phone.

Is there any other way to get out without rebooting?

(After this, I really liked the Galaxy S3 where it had a permanent area for the menu-home-back buttons. As much as I like the G3, I am now thinking the S3 has that part right.)

Hi folks,

I currently have a problem with file explorer. I opened the windows folder and now I am stuck with the time icon, I wait...and I wait... and nothing happens it freezes the phone. After a soft reset and then going back into file explorer it goes back to the folder I last looked at which is the windows folder and freezes again.. so basically I can't use file explorer anymore? Any suggestions?

Steve
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wizzzard:
Is it locking up? or does it just need more time to load and display all the contents of \windows. Can you minimize file explorer by pressing the hang up key and work on something else, then go back later to file explorer. Are you able to change directories now?

Are you using a shortcut to launch file explorer

I always use Total commander for file management and \windows does take a while to load. It too tries to open the last used directory but if the folder is not available, eg network share, it defaults to the root directory after a warning. Not the answer to your problem, I know, but Total Commander is free and it is much better featured than the standard file explorer.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] da_mayhem:
Try this on a Registry Editor:

HKLM - Software - Microsoft - File Explorer - LastLocation - 0 (zero)

Soft Reset then try to launch File Explorer again. :D

I know this is an old post...but after extensive searching and frustration...S.V.I fixed my issue. I just wanted to say thanks to S.V.I

I couldn't find file explorer and it was freezing...like S.V.I pointed out- it is HKCU and not HKLM.

I had done 2 hard resets...and removing "windows" from the path fixed it.

Thanks to all that posted solutions here on this great site!

Update:

Spoke to soon...I can't enter my Windows folder at all using file explorer- I could earlier. I can enter anywhere else...just not my Window folder...I can with Resco explorer. I have to apply S.V.I suggestion to stop it from freezing...but magically-"\windows" keeps re-appearing in my registry.

open File Explorer

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ayobi:
I think i know the solution

i too have experienced the same problem like this. but then this is what i do. and it's surprisingly works.

1) soft reset your phone

2) click on file explorer again

3) the loading symbol will always appear, but for now just let it be.

4) close the file explorer by tapping 'hang up' key/button. this will supposedly bring you back to home screen

5) wait for half an hour or longer

6) open file explorer

7) the windows folder loaded successfully

This definitely worked - on a related note you can go into Registry Editor (HKCU - Software - Microsoft - File Explorer) and change the SortOrder value to anything but 2 (apparently 2 is for Type). Soft reset and reload the program, and it should load a lot faster.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] phi11yphan:
I had same problem, because I tried to sort Windows folder by file Type. Oops.

I know it's an old post, but here's my two cents (because this thread guided me to a slightly modified resolution.)

My resolution on Tilt2 TP2 WinMo 6.5 was found here:

HKCU - Software - Microsoft - File Explorer - LastLocation - 0 (zero)

HKCU - Software - Microsoft - File Explorer - LastPath - \ (slash)

HKCU - Software - Microsoft - File Explorer - SortOrder - 1

That did the trick for me. Was able to open File Explorer. Strangely, it took me to the Windows folder again; but didn't hang this time. Maybe because I skipped soft reset (so maybe registry change may not have taken effect entirely?)

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jokowi:
I'll try to give you a clue to root your SM-T235 device and i cant promise you this will work

I know twrp for tab 7 is not working to root SM-T235 because you have degas lte and mali 400 gpu? (i just guessing)

and mine pxa 1088 degas 3g/wifi with vivante gpu. and we have different structure partitions.

So you can not using degas-unpack bootimg for pxa1088.

I think you can use "abootimg" in linux to unpack and repack your recovery image.

I believe tab 8 and tab 10 can use abootimg too.

here's command i used in ubuntu to unpack and repack smt235 stock recovery

to unpack:

$ abootimg -x recovery.img

writing boot image config in bootimg.cfg

extracting kernel in zImage

extracting ramdisk in initrd.img

to repack:

$ abootimg --create newstockrecovery.img -f bootimg.cfg -k zImage -r initrd.img

reading config file bootimg.cfg

reading kernel from zImage

reading ramdisk from initrd.img

Writing Boot Image newstockrecovery.img

now you have new stock recovery image.

(if you wanna take a look what is in initrd.img you can change the extension to initrd.cpio then unzip it,

you can edit fstab, change it to twrp/cwm ramdisk or whatever possibilities. but leave it untouch at the moment)

next step,

Repack a new recovery as a flashable odin:

$ tar -H ustar -c newstockrecovery.img > newstockrecovery.img.tar

$ md5sum -t newstockrecovery.img.tar >> newstockrecovery.img.tar

$ mv newstockrecovery.img.tar newstockrecovery.img.tar.md5

Please note :

i dont have sm-t235 to test.

report here if this abootimg method working.

before experiment, i've been warning you, THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS to your tab.

i hope you know what are you doing before flashing. and you have backup firmware if something goes wrong.

i'll try to port sm-t231 custom recovery to stockcovery sm-t235 later,

depends on your report of course.

I have a theory

I think the latest FW, you could root with the Towelroot is the Firmware XXU1ANE8, for DBT Build Date: 2014/05/22.

One could extract the kernel (boot.img) from the firmware and repack it and flash with Odin.

Then you can root with Towelroot, install SuperSU, freeze KNOX ...

Finally, the suitable kernel must flash back with Odin.

Question #1.: Is the file boot.img the kernel file? I have extract kernel for Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Note3. Both contains the file boot.img. A file zImage is no longer exists in this firmware

Question #2: Can you flash a kernel with Odin for this tablet?
