[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] eshleman:
Hello all,

previous searches have yielded limited answers so I apologize if this has been answered already.

I've been running CM for the past 5 or 6 months and have had zero problems with it. Last week however something happened and I got stuck in a boot loop. Me being a genius obviously didn't make a backup of anything so I flashed the stock rom via odin back onto the phone. After flash through odin I get the green light and pass indication. I go to restart the phone in recovery and I get the sick droid with the red yield sign above him. I then go to wipe/factory reset then reboot and it goes as far as the Samsung logo doing its animation and then stops just after and freezes. A regular power up without going into recovery first results in a boot loop.

I tried the recovery process through Kies and get the "This devices version cannot be updated" error. I am running the current version of Kies. I'm assuming its because it knows I've been rooted?

Note 2 Sprint

thank you in advance.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Which stock version did you flash through odin? Mc2, mk4, or ne2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] eshleman:
ne2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
I dont think kies has NE2 yet so you can only use odin. Boot into recovery (stock is fine) and do a factory reset. Then power off (do not reboot) and go into download mode and flash ne2 tar again through odin. Then hopefully you will be able to boot. Note that 4.4.2 is a large rom and will take around 5 mins to actually boot up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] eshleman:
Thank you for the response,

When I go to wipe/reset I get the dead android with the red triangle. I am assuming there is a fault in my stock recovery. I still went ahead and wiped/reset data and removed battery after, waited a few minutes, inserted battery, booted into download mode, flashed stock ne2, everything with odin passed. I booted phone up and it immediately went into a boot loop with the samsung logo for about 5 minutes then shut off completely. the battery has a full charge.

I'm open for other options if some are available.Would it be possible to skip the stock recovery and go straight into a custom recovery? I'm planning on rooting and installing CM again but obviously making a backup this time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] skye206:
Use odin to flash philz touch recovery 6.0.7.9.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Like he said use odin to flash philz 6.07.9 but uncheck reboot option. Once everything is done disconnect and pull battery (this is safe as long as everything finished flashing). Then do recovery key sequence while inserting battery. Then flash your rom. If still having issues with booting I have a special file that you can odin that should fix it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Here is a direct link to 6.07.9 tar.md5 https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/l900/philz_touch_6.07.9-l900.tar.md5/

Once you flash it boot into recovery and flash cm11. If cm11 wont boot I have another file for you to use but it is only needed if cm11 does not boot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] eshleman:
I really appreciate the help,

I successfully flashed Philz recovery through odin. Booted to recovery and went to wipe/reset for a new rom, then installed zip - CM11 (yesterday's version) flashed successfully, selected reboot, samsung logo flashed and then phone shut off.

Am I rooted automatically if I have Philz recovery? They only thing I can think of is I don't have an OS at all on my device or I am not rooted?

Thank you in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Yeah kind of thought that might happen. Flash the attachment from this (fix.tar) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53035491&postcount=287 through odin and it should fix your issue. Also you are not rooted automatically because of Philz. Root is controlled by the rom but almost every custom rom (omni excluded) comes rooted so hope that helps that question.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] eshleman:
I'm assuming the fix.tar changes the recovery to CWM? I flashed the fix zip successfully, rebooted, CM logo came on for a couple minutes, I did a happy dance, then the phone shut off again. Pulled battery, turned back on and its stuck in a boot loop now with samsung logo.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Do a factory reset (normal not clean for new rom) and see what happens.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] eshleman:
When I flashed the fix.tar. it changed the recovery to CWM which only gives me the option to wipe data/factory reset, whereas with the philz I had the option to wipe for just a new rom. or a complete reset
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Good then you can mix them up. Do the factory reset. Also you sure it is cwm or is it the stock recovery? I have not used that file since 4.4.2 came out but thought it was all stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] eshleman:
Yes, after the fix.tar flash the recovery changed to CWM. However, I'm still having no luck. I tried system wipe/restore then reboot but the phone boots to samsung logo then shuts off. Ill go over the steps I've taken again.

1. Flashed stock recovery through odin - got red triangle above dead android. I'm assuming problem with stock recovery

2. Flashed Philz recovery through odin - did factory reset, flashed current version of CM11, boot, samsung logo comes on then phone shuts off.

3. Flashed fix.tar. through odin.- boot, CM logo comes on like its booting for a minute, then phone shuts off, pull battery, restart phone then goes into a boot loop. wipe data does the same thing. After a couple times of that I'm now at a point where when I reboot from recovery it goes straight to samsung logo then shuts off. Holding the power button (like a regular startup) does nothing. The phone is only responsive to recovery mode and download mode. Not to mention the phone has to be plugged in to either the computer or the wall for any of this to work. Even though the battery indicator says the charge is at 100%.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
So you can not run on battery power at all? Sounding like a hardware issue. If you know someone else with a note 2 I would try swapping batteries. After that I am not sure what to try.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] eshleman:
I have a friend that also has a note 2, I'll try his battery this weekend and let you know what happens. Thanks again for all the help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] eshleman:
A different battery didn't help. I reflashed the stock rom, where I get the original problem of the red exclamation point laying down android screen. Is there a way to rid the download screen of the system status as being displayed as "custom" and the knox warranty void: as 1 with the condition the phone is in? I believe if I can reset the counter and prove it is a hardware problem they will cover it under warranty. If not I believe my only option is to destroy/crush the phone beyond repair and claim the insurance which is $200 to replace the phone.

Same result with different link. I hate for this device to just sit in my desk drawer when I know it can be parted out at least or maybe I can fix the broken internal hardware. I guess this is where I'm completely out of options. I'm not gonna spend $200 with an upgrade looming. Any last words? I can't thank you guys enough for the help you've given me. Thanks again

Hi all!

Has anyone come across a nice holster case without a kickstand? I'm not really concerned with price.. Willing to pay for a good case. I see that seidio makes a spring clip holster for the naked device but id like to have it in a case. I'd like it as thin as possible (no otterbox for me!). I have found a few holster cases but they all have a stupid bulky kickstand!

Thanks :)
[Sprint LG G3] cervantesmx:
Check out my thread on a nice case with holster.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2825451

The holster is great. Of course, the main point is the case. For 39.99 idk of it's worth just buying for the holster alone...
[Sprint LG G3] fgcchevy:
I got this holster combo basically got the holster itself. I had one for my og evo and s3 and never once broke on me. To me it is worth the $40, I just get a case I like that fits in the holster.

I just plan to use the Nexus 4 as a small server connected via wifi :laugh:

I've found links about installing native Linux on Android devices:

I like the concept.

One difficulty will be that we can't use an external SD.

Has someome tried it already?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vladimirhtg:
If I could kindly ask for some input...

I was helping a buddy sand his car down (old Midget :o) for repainting with my phone directly next to my body. Got done and saw a bit of moisture in front of the front-facing camera lens. Touch screen unresponsive. Rebooted a few times, lots of ghost touches and hanging at the bootloader. Boots consistently now, but:

--Zero digitizer input but plenty of ghost touches

--No network access.

Can I maybe get some input on a plan, especially if anyone here has done hardware on these phones? I've replaced the screen on this one but that was months ago. Done a million different hardware issues but specifically wanting to know if there's any chance it's not worth replacing the screen. I feel bad asking for help on this but I really need to make the best decision.

Thanks Guys!

However....networking. Looks like the next step is flashing back to stock. Input?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rlparnell:
been there, but weedeating

take it apart, see if there is any discoloration of anything(sweat...salt)

if you see any then be careful to remove it. i use lens cleaning clothes with a smudger

then. take a blow dryer to it

~*be careful*~ of course.(the phone can handle being soldered together so a blow dryer wont hurt it unless carelessly heating up one part.)

....i have never had rice work...

then let it sit for just a bit to air out. clean up contact, usb. gold contacts. headphone opening.

carefully...put it back together.

i suggest watching the youtube tear down of the phone
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] false79:
Hi all,

In August 2013, I bought a T-mobile HTC One and I was able to get it unlocked fairly easily using htcimeiunlock.com

In December 2013, I had to send it in for repairs and it received it wiped from the factory. The IMEI number had changed so I used the same service again and it worked flawlessly.

Now in July 2014, I had to send it in for repairs, again wiped from the factory and the IMEI number is different. I tried using the service but then it failed to work for me. Could it be the algorithm has changed and T-mobile is cracking down on this type of thing? Or is my IMEI so brand new that there is no code for it yet and I have to wait a few weeks until someone generates one.

I am hoping someone knows the answer as I continue to pay for a non-Tmobile voice/data plan that I can't use =(
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] majmoz:
Search Google for HTC Sim unlock and you will find a host of answers. One is this from the Play Store. If you have paid off your phone with T-Mobile you can get the code directly from them.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] false79:
Yeah, the first thing I did was Google search and the results are overwhelming. Also a lot of them require your pay upfront before you can find out whether or not they can unlock. Was hoping for a better feedback than lmgtfy.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archaeometrist:
I've been around Linux for a few years now, and have had my Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 for about a year. I've run into a bit of a problem that maybe someone knows how to get around. I have some knowledge of android because of the relationship to Linux... but still rather a newbie.

I'm trying to get my Tab 3 to communicate with a Bolutek BLK-MD-BC04-B serial to bluetooth adapter. I have no problems pairing it with my tablet, but once paired only certain software packages will connect with it... and I have no use for a bluetooth communications terminal (the usual software). I can get everything to work on my main computer (running Ubuntu 12.04LTS) the way I want, but I can't find /dev/rfcomm0 on my tablet. I've tried several software packages from the Google store, but to no avail (so far).

What I'm trying to accomplish overall is getting a piece of equipment I have to work with an android tablet, that at present only works with Windows software. I've got W95 working on a virtual machine in my tablet (a tiny tad slow, but it works well enough) using the no-longer-maintained program "Limbo" and the only thing stopping me now is getting the signal from the serial port (on the equipment) to the virtual machine in my tablet. The adapter works as it should, the only problem is the android bluetooth.

Does anyone know how to get the tablet to connect to the Bluetooth adapter (it's already paired), and then assign the communications to rfcomm0 (or maybe put a virtual link to ttyS0/ttyS1)?

Better yet, is there also anyone with experience working with this Limbo software who could give suggestions how to get a serial port working in it? (It should be easy to do once I figure it out - I've got the whole thing working fine on my main system using Virtualbox, and it was easy.)

I'm on an extremely tight budget (dirt poor actually - typical graduate student) and need to work with what I have, so please no suggestions of buying a new tablet or anything like that.

Thanks!

Hello. I have recently acquired a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9006 and found that it cannot get better than 2G speeds, no 3G or 4G on T-Mobile.

N9006 has no 4G and from the 3G bands only one in 4 fits with T-Mobile (2100MHz) - if that is not strong in your region then you are out of luck (you might also want to see if it is possible to only force that band so as to avoid the phone trying to change to the other 3 bands that don't work).

So I've been using the ghost armour for the moto x and it works out fine, but recently it's gotten a couple of cracks on the protector so I'm looking to buy a new one. Has anyone used another glass protector for their moto x and liked it? Or should I just stick with getting a second ghost armour protector.

Thanks!
[Moto X Accessories] Verttex:
I feel like glass armor is an oxymoron.
[Moto X Accessories] nhizzat:
From everything that I've read, the only one you should consider is the i-Blason purchased directly from their site. Purchasing through Amazon has given people issues with their warranty.
[Moto X Accessories] SergeantFTC:
The Ghost Armor protector is glass? The one in the installation video on their website certainly isn't. (I can't post links yet)
[Moto X Accessories] EpicBlob:
They have a glass cover model on the mimeusa site. The cover has like 5 chipped edges, and around 6 cracks that go around the screen, so it has does it's job fairly well (but I'm sure the actual glass on the moto x is much stronger).

So go with the i-blaston? I'll check it out. Thanks!

I have the Mocolo tempered glass screen protector, I got it off the Glass-M website.

I also reviewed Mocolo glass for moto x. Feeling also good, real 9h protection and cheap
[Moto X Accessories] maxou88:
The touch is good ? better than other classic screen protector (no glass) ?

I always use screen protector but never glass and i want know if the touch is good? and if droptest is good too ? because goria glass 3 is glass and mocolo too so if device droped the both are break ?

Thanks
[Moto X Accessories] nhizzat:
The MIME for the Moto X doesn't fit the screen correctly, leading to premature cracking, chipping, and/or breaking. The misshapen corners will cause the screen protector to lift up.

I haven't read much of anything about the Mocolo.

The i-Blason is the one tempered glass screen protector I know of that fits the curvature of the Moto X screen correctly.
[Moto X Accessories] maxou88:
Thanks.

No other feedback ?
[Moto X Accessories] phermey:
get the cheapest ones you can off of ebay. the oleophobic coating is worthless on them, but it only lasts a week with the i-blasons or whatever. so whats the dif? they all, including my i-blason, scratch very quickly. the secret to applying is having a second person with you. get the glass as close to the screen as possible, a mm or two, so you can line it up perfectly. then have someone press down in the middle and let go.

these things last me about a month or two. so don't expect miracles.

[Droid RAZR M General] MemphisRob:
I'm no where near qualified to place input on ROM development but I did have a random thought.

Is it possible that the Mic issue with most KitKat ROMs, could be caused/fixed/related with the headset jack?

I remember hearing somewhere that random occurrences of mics not working when a headset that wasn't made for your device was used and taken out, that it may cause the device to not recognize the removal and therefore not switch back to the mic.

Like I said, im sure it's not that simple, but hey, it's a shot in the dark.
