[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] offtohavasu:
I had ND8 installed with Philz. Just the other day, the phone suddenly shut off. Tried powering up, stuck at Samsung image. So I try booting in to recover. Nothing..get the vibrate, and that's as far as it goes. Ok, so I'll reflash ND8 with ODIN. Odin get's hung up at ID:0/003 Initialization. OK, redownload ODIN, same thing. OK, reinstall Sammy drivers, same thing. What now?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
Remove the battery for a few minutes. While the battery is out of the device, jiggle the Power button gently. Install the Battery again, and try to Boot up the device. It sounds like the Power button may have failed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] offtohavasu:
Checked the power button, didn't change anything. I can also feel the slight "click" when you push the button and bounce back. I can get in to download mode no problem. But no regular boot and no recovery boot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
What version of ODIN are you suing ? Have you tried different USB Cables ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jazztrmpter:
My phone was getting stuck on the Samsung logo after the Sprint animation plays. See post #2 (here), though it already looks like you've done that. I did this yesterday with Odin3-v1.85 with no issues. As prboy1969 said, take into consideration any possible communication issues. Try another USB port if the change in USB cable did not work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] offtohavasu:
Tried 3.07, 3.09, and 1.85 with manually putting in the PIT file. I tried 2 different cables and 3 different ports on the computer. I'll try a different computer next.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
why are you using a pit file???? to flash stock ND8 and Philz through Odin the file ends in just .tar or .tar.md5 and you put that file in AP or PDA then flash and it goes through

lol i was gonna post that over here too :P but thanks for showing him/her the way :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] offtohavasu:
I was referring to Odin 1.85. It wanted a PIT file. The other two I did not use a PIT file.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
oh okay thought you meant with all three but try with a Samsung USB cable preferably the one that came with your s3 if you bought it new or used with original things and box
[HTC Desire 601] Smellie2:
Hi guys,

I have a weird problem. I want to disable the HTC start-up sound, but if I try with adb, it says HTC_Sense5_Boot.mp3 is a read-only file system.

So I tried with fx xplorer. I checked "Mount Read-Write" and tried to rename or even delete the file. But every time when I uncheck "Mount Read-Write" the file just pops back like it was before.

Does anyone know what's the problem here? With my old Phone it worked like a charm!
[HTC Desire 601] Hedied4me:
I think you need an unsecured kernel.

How do I get one? And why do I need that? My Htc One SV didn't need it. Is this some extra protection from HTC?
[HTC Desire 601] Hedied4me:
Well first you need root. Then the kernel you need depends on whether your on kitkat or jellybean and zara_cl or zara_ul.

Oké thanks, I do have root and I'm still on JB (4.2.2). So I downloaded the file but I don't know what to do with it. Do I have to put it on my sd and start up recovery, or do I have to put it in my pc where I have fastboot stored?

EDIT: I already found it, just not sure if I have to rename the file to boot.img?

[HTC Desire 601] Smellie2:
So, I flashed the kernel but it still won't work! How frustrating is this!! Does it by any change have anything to do with the fact that I also can't get S-OFF? Maybe there is something blocking the whole process?

Just tried firewater to S-OFF, but now I got the message: ERROR: kernel contains HTC

anti-firewater patch! ***** Try again with a different kernel *****. Is there a way to check if I have the unsecured kernel I flashed?
[HTC Desire 601] Child's Play:
Use rumrunner to get s-off http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2827793
[HTC Desire 601] Smellie2:
I already tried that for a couple of times but then I get the message: FATAL: Download updated package at www.rumrunner.us

Press ENTER to exit

EDIT: It looks like the kernel can't install. I just tried it again, but nothing changes.....
[HTC Desire 601] mrplowdan:
Delete that mp3 startup sound with TWRP's file manager.

For S-off look through that linked thread. The gist seems to be try a different network and disable firewall/antivirus/try linux
[HTC Desire 601] Smellie2:
According to the twrp website there is no twrp for zara_ul.

[HTC Desire 601] Smellie2:
A bit late to react due to the holidays, but I've managed to get the boot-up sound off. Now further with Linux :silly:
[HTC Desire 601] Smellie2:
I'm not sure if I can write about the further problems here, since I got rid of my initial problem, but I can't get S-OFF. I tried with Linux but got the same FATAL error as I did with windows. So, I suspected my HTC not be able to flash the unsecure kernel. I googled and found out about using HTC Dumlock. I followed instructions and opened the app. My device didn't automatically boot into recovery, so I rebooted my phone. It just rebooted! It didn't go into recovery as it should have. So I went into recovery manually and clicked "Restore Original Boot". Then I tried to flash the kernel through adb again, but all I get is "waiting for device". (I did check adb devices first and it found my phone). So, I now can't use the fastboot command anymore, and I can't find a bootable zip for the unsecure JB zara ul kernel. Does anybody have any idea why my phone is giving me such a hard time? It's like there is an option is blocked or something which won't let me do the things that everybody else can. Is it possible the unlocking of my bootloadere didn't go completely or something?
[HTC Desire 601] mrplowdan:
You have flash the kernel from fastboot mode, if adb devices returns anything your not in fastboot mode.

Regarding s-off, make sure to try different cables and if it's still not working try another computer.

To test if your kernel is insecure once your phone is booted normally, adb shell should give you a prompt ending with a #, if it's a $ it's not insecure
[HTC Desire 601] Smellie2:
I now have the # when I type in adb shell, but I don't understand why in software - kernel in the phone it's still named the same as before flashing.

What S-OFF is regarding, I tried everything! Different cables, different computers, Windows, Linux, rumrunner, firewater.... it's just not working!! Drives me crazy. :eek:
[HTC Desire 601] Child's Play:
If u keep getting an error msg saying "fatal: download updated package", its a server-side issue. U need to tell beaups in irc that u've tried everything. He can fix the issue so that u can run rumrunner again. This is not the 1st time. It has happened over and over again
[HTC Desire 601] Smellie2:
I FINALLY, FINALLY have S-OFF!! I replaced the insecure kernel I had first with the one from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/desire-601/development/index-roms-mods-recoveries-backups-tools-t2804427

and then tried again. And what-do-you-know! It worked!!!

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Software Geezers:
Hi all,

I've been an original Note 10.1 user for 18 months an upgrade to a Note Pro on a great deal. It arrived this morning and at first everything was wonderful, but the moment I fired up Sketchbook Pro, the yellows looked dull and greenish. A large stroke of pure yellow painted some seemingly olive green colour. It's not really suitable for art. Video and photo's tend to look okay though (possibly even better colour balanced that other devices I have), so it's hard to pin down. It also happens in other applications - the colour picker in SNote has a really sad, depressed yellow. I've taken a few photos alongside other displays but depressingly they capture a pure yellow which is very odd.

Googling around, the Lenovo Yoga 2 uses the same screen and has users grumbling about the yellows, and a BIOS update has improved things but not fixed them, suggesting the RGBW Pentile display is just incapable of accurately displaying true yellows. If that's the case though, why wasn't this brought up in the many glowing reviews of the Note Pro?

The best way to ascertain whether mine's a defective/improperly calibrated unit or not seems to be to ask other owners, hence my enrolling here. If you paint some pure yellow in Sketchbook Pro, does it look yellow? Does it pop like a ripe lemon or banana, or look somewhat sickly and off? Is the Note Pro just incapable of rendering such colours?

As an aside, why aren't colour calibration options included on devices like they are on TVs?? Seems an easy way to allow users to tailor their colour preferences. Edit: Huh. Samsung does provide Screen Modes for their tablets, just not those from Hong Kong!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Software Geezers:
Turns out the Hong Kong model doesn't have Screen Mode settings according to the manual. US and EU does, but not Hong Kong. Why?! So I'm guessing that this model is limited to 'movie mode' colours or something. If you vote above, please mention which region your Note Pro is from (and better yet, if changing the Screen Mode changes the colour rendering).
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jasueh:
Have you found out anything else? I've the same problem (I've already voted).

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daviey:
Nexus 5, stock firmware not rooted and otherwise untouched. When trying to screen unlock the phone, it immediately returned to the lock screen almost as if it didn't unlock.

I found that if I power cycled the phone, I had around 20 seconds of usage before the same behaviour started again and I could keep doing this process.

I tried factory reset, and found that the screen worked perfectly for bootup and would work continually until any button was pressed - then the same 'screen switching off issue'. I could get a flicker of what was on the screen, by pressing the power button - but then it quickly gracefully went off.

The screen itself appears to be functional, and no odd pixels. Booting (and using) the bootloader / recovery works exactly as expected, without the screen turning off - for an unlimited amount of time.

I then tried flashing Cyanogenmod, but gave the identical result. Now reverted back to stock.

Any ideas?

Thanks

OK, So I am completely new to this stuff on a consumer basis. I used to work for Symbol Technologies testing Windows Mobile 5 when it was still in alpha/beta on our products. Now, my question for you all is Which is your favorite ROM?

I have been looking around here and I have found a few, I was able to get my SIM unlocked and my SID unlocked in about 20 mins on my Cingular 8125 So Thank you all for your contributions on that

I also learned a ton of stuff about these devices that even after working with them for almost a year I didnt know.

I decided to make this poll not only for my own curiousity, but for those people who are new to this like I am and want a qucik opinion on whats best out there. If i leave something out let me know

Thanks again everyone for this forum, its awsome!

I'm sure I've left a lot out, but I put the roms on this poll that i frequently came across in reading all the posts I've hit
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zamsky1:

I think it is kind of like asking "what is the best car". I have not seen a "bad" ROM yet here, but what are you looking for - speed or features or comfort and ease or ????? - again just like a car. You will find it from any of the "wizards" (pun intended) who put the results of their efforts on here for you - most noticeably Faria, Shogunmark, Molski, Risidoro, and Summiter (WHERE IS HE??).

I must have flashed my phone 20 or more times by now, with never once having a problem - JUST FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!! Try a few and see what you like.

Funny, I thought the same thing this morning. And I LOVE your ROM. But I've avoided being one of the 20 million people asking you to hurry up and release RC1 so now I'll use this Poll as an excuse: bring RC1 out now and you will CRUSH this poll!!!

i will find out .and when i do i will publish the dam thing in here as i always did when i find something new that people want.

anyway a wizard kitchen is in the works.it will be the end of custom roms.

did i mentioned... i found out a couple of days ago a possible way to unlock the wizard extended rom? problem is i cant be done by a reg hack,and the tools are not avalable for the public yet. gonna test that in a new rom.but im pretty confident .
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] vettejock99:
Wow! That is amazing stuff. I knew about the drive crash, but not that you still needed info. I could reinstall Beta 4 and try the voice command deal you asked about, but I know nothing about the page pool.

Anyway, all good stuff, and your ROM is destined for greatness.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] neal74:
Hello friends,

I'm kinda still new to the whole custom rom world and have a question. I really like flashing and testing new roms but the one thing I hate is having to download all the apps again from the play store, even though it syncs up and starts automatically downloading all of them it's way too time consuming and not to mention uses more data. I was going to see if you guys could recommend a good backup app that would back all my apps and their data up to my SD card so after flashing a new app I could just install the one backup app then use it to restore the apps/data/sms etc. from my SD card. I see several in the play store such as titanium but was wanted to get a few opinions from folks that have more experience. I'd prefer free but would not mind paying a few bucks ..say $3-5 for a good well rounded app.

Thanks and have a great day!

-Neal
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] wtrhzrd:
Titanium is the overall best/most features IMO. Backup/Restore, Uninstall, Freeze apps, etc... I've used it for a long time, and I really like it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] neal74:
Thanks, I give it a try...I noticed that it has the option to backup app+system. I have a followup question on this regarding backing up the "system info". If I was on rom sokp version 1.5 and made my backups that included the system file and then the sokp team released another version that had bug fixes in it ..lets say V1.7 and I installed it and then did a restore...would restoring the system contents onto the new rom change it back to what I had and end up breaking things that were fixed. Hope this makes since. Lets say bluetooth was broke on my current rom that I've made apps+system backups and then I install V1.7 which fixes the bluetooth...would me restoring the system folder break bluetooth again and whatever else they've fixed. Also, what if I want to kick around another rom...lets say carbon ...would restoring my backups cause it issues.

Thanks guys!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You can only restore system data to the same or updated versions of a ROM. In most cases, its best to start from scratch with things such as your settings. (Contacts/calendar data should restore ok regardless)

i am doing a new build as i may have missed setting support for extended attributes.

will update shortly.

v2 is up - link updated

changed default security module to selinux and modified source /bootable/recovery-cm/updater/install.c

as follows:

<cm11 source dir>/bootable/recovery-cm/updater/install.c

in line 586 (under the function ParsePermArgs(int argc, char** args):

654:- parsed.has_capabilities = true;

654:+ parsed.has_capabilities = false;

mainly for testing. still functional as before.
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] moonbutt74:
on v2

okay,

i have been using v2 quite a lot since i posted it and it works pretty solidly.

A major note- to flash supersu update zip you must use most recent version from chainfire's site.

The adb experience is good provided you remember to mount data and system.

I will be getting to Philz Advanced after a little more practice with building.

Right now my attempt in th recovery arena will be to get aromafm built and working.

Both versions of my cwm build will remain posted.

okay so,

issues are lag, resolution and possibly a ram related crash, in which event, force reboot [will return you to recovery] and then reboot normally.

[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] moonbutt74:
hi,

you need to follow this thread from first post, hear me out,

you must first download, extract to /sdcard and dd write cwm 6.0.5.0 [recovery.img] with the following terminal command

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11

from that point you can flash philz normally. the assert in the updater script is correct. it calls to your

/system/build.prop

and verifies whether or not you have the correct device. The issue is with your process and your build prop.

if you are unable to resolve the issue, you may extract the recovery.img from the zip and write it in the same

fashion as cwm 6.0.5.0 to your recovery block.
