[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chef_dracula:
Hi all,

I'll just dive into the problem, on dot-point form:

1. Started with Unrooted Stock TouchWIz Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505

2. Rooted with Chainfire Autoroot via Odin

3. Flashed TWRP 2.7 via Odin

4. Made backup via TWRP, saved in external SDCard.

5. Flashed the Mahdi 4.4.4 rom

6. After new ROM, I wanted togo back to old original rom.

7. Booted into TWRP to restore back to TouchWiz.

8. Restore success, rebooted.

9. Samsung boot animation played and white "SAMSUNG" logo displays.

10. Waited for almost an hour.

11. Still on that "SAMSUNG" boot screen. The blue glow behind the text pulses.

Please Help, I can't get anything to work, Also, I can't afford to delete all backup( contacts,
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
Seems like you've hit a boot loop, basically your phone will reach the boot logo and no more. Unfortunately, the only way I know to deal with a boot loop is to wipe data/factory reset via recovery. Something didn't quite work out in the backup/restore, and probably why this happened. It does seem you will lose contacts etc unless they are saved to the SIM card.

Edit: Try wipe data/factory reset and then restore. If it boot loops again, you'll have to wipe.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chef_dracula:
I was able to make it work after I have reinstalled the Mahdi 4.4.4 rom. Now, how can I do it correctly to restore it and make it work without any problems ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
Well first off, I would backup everything important, eg contacts to SIM or external SD card, photos, messages, accounts, email settings etc. Because as far as I can see, you're just going to hit a boot loop when you restore again. At least you have everything important backed up and can start afresh without losing anything important.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chef_dracula:
Ok, What's the best way to backup, I know the twrp doesn't work.
[Xposed General] elesbb:
Hey guys.

I am trying to figure out when a new app is shown. I have tried hooking into the Activity class for onWindowFocusedChanged method which works under normal conditions.

For instance, my ROM has the ability to hold a button to kill foreground app. Works great. however, doing that, the onWindowFocusedChanged method is not called. So my module does not detect the focus is lost.

I am wondering if anyone else has any other ideas. AccessibilityService works perfectly. But uses a lot of CPU and other resources. Was thinking maybe Window.class or WindowManager.class would help as well. But not sure. Thanks guys for your time!
[Xposed General] GermainZ:
Can't you simply hook onResume or similar?
[Xposed General] defim:
Only one problem left: "super" access -> http://xdaforums.com/xposed/problem-invoke-super-methods-t2822375
[Xposed General] GermainZ:
I don't see how that is related in this case. Why would he want to call the super method explicitly?
[Xposed General] defim:
eg for onResume the 1st call have to be super.onResume
[Xposed General] GermainZ:
There's no reason to use beforeHookedMethod/replaceHookedMethod in this case, so the original method will call the super method, and afterHookedMethod can be used to e.g. send a broadcast without having to worry about it.
[Xposed General] defim:
Yeas, with afterHookedMethod no problems, but i wanted to point to that, so he has not to do the same research as me :D
[Xposed General] elesbb:
Thanks guys for your reply!

I did end up using an AccessibilityService. After much reading and testing, i have gotten the app to use .04 percent of the CPU in the last 5 hours. Pretty damn good! :) I am probably going to use this method anyhow.

I did hook onResume and onCreate, but some nothing would happen when some apps would show. For instance, the home screen of Apex launcher wouldn't trigger on onResume or anything like that. I even looked at the smali and it uses a LauncherActivity which extends the Activity class. So I was awfully confused. I tried it with both a before and after hooked method. I surely thought hooking onResume and onCreate would signify the opening of an app. But it didn't for all of them.

Thanks again for your replies!

Hi!

My defy green lens was on cm7.

I wanted to go to cm11...

However now my phone does not boot and i want to flash. I don't know much about this things so I red forums. Now I want to know which sbf file i must download.

Thank you and Sorry for my bad english
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fh_pr:
First follow the instructions in this guide listed in "Common Problems/Questions" section.

This is what helped me:

Method 1:

Download this SBF and Flash it

Do a factory reset

Root your Phone

Download 2nd Init 1.4.2 and Install ClockworkMod Recovery

Download and install this Nandroid Backup << File is Back, thanks Ichibanme again!>>

Enter Recovery, Wipe Data/Cache

After wiping, turn off your phone

Turn it on and get immediately into Bootloader mode

Flash this Fixed SBF

Delete Data/Cache again and reboot.

Then follow this guide [GUIDE][FAQ][Android 4.4 KitKat] Installing & Customizing CM11 or SlimKat
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoPreacher:
another possibility for non BL7 stock

- or you can flash this sbf

or this sbf which are both froyo stock

- root it using this one on Windows

- install cwm with 2nd Init 2.3 apk

- and at least flash twrp 2.6.3.0 which is necessary to get cm 11 boot because of SElinux support

!!! after flashing twrp u need to reboot to recovery again and flash rom right away !!! otherwise it won't boot ;)

this helped me to get rid of it

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] internethuman:
Well, I used have Cyanogenmod but then my 4g wasn't working so I tried to flash stock rom on Odin but it didn't work so my friend helped me get it some other way and currently I have stock rom with root access, but the problem is I noticed recently that my battery life sucks! I was at the store and I checked my phone and it was at 60% then I pressed the sleep button and when I checked 15 minutes later I was at 5%! Today, I downloaded and flashed Clockworkmod via Rom Manager and when that I rebooted, at first it showed Samsung Galaxy S III and under that it was the little Cyanogenmod dude then it turned off and rebooted by itself but then the little guy didn't appear again, my best guess is that stock rom is running under Cyanogenmod which causes battery loss (also when im using it, it seems that 1% goes down every minute) can someone tell me if i'm wrong? I want to get Cyanogenmod again and see if it still has problems with 4g because Cyanogenmod is 1000 times better than stock rom, please help me?

EDIT: So I flashed TWRP since my friend told me it was better and the little Cyanogenmod dude came up while rebooting into recovery mode, then I was in the TWRP menu after that, I then rebooted back onto the system and the little dude didn't come up, so my guess that stock running over cyanogenmod still stands.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Not sure what you mean when you say "stock rom is running under Cyanogenmod" but you are either running a stock ROM or CM. I've never seen a situation where the operating system was a combination of stock and CM after flashing.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper67857:
I'm assuming the 'dude' you're talking about is the clockworkmod boot animation... It only appears when booting into clockworkmod recovery in order to flash something. You won't see it when booting into system or at all now that you're on twrp instead of clockworkmod. To find out what ROM you're on (can't be both) go into system settings and click 'About Device'. The build number will have your ROM version.

As for the battery issue it sounds like you have a bad wakelock problem. An app called betterbatterystats can help you find out what's causing it. Probably something to do with flashing back and forth between stock and cyanogenmod without doing a factory reset.

The battery part was good info to me, thanks. Now, the dude is the blue cyanogenmod android guy, i'm 100% sure. I also downloaded and flashed TWRP and the blue cyanogenmod android dude still appears before going into recovery mode. My model number is JSS15J.1747UCUEMJB if that helps. :/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper67857:
That's the 4.3 stock rom that you're running. What are you trying to flash in Odin? If it's below 4.3 it will fail, fortunately for you, because downgrading the bootloader from mjb or above will brick your phone. Try downloading a recovery flashable rom, either stock 4.3, 4.4.2, or cm11. Wipe system, dalvik, cache, and data and flash in twrp. If you go with stock 4.4.2 you'll also need ktoonsez kernel for wifi to work on your mjb bootloader.

As for the blue dude, I was thinking of the green animated android in cwm. I get the blue dude too when booting to recovery, but only for like a second and I don't use cyanogenmod. I can't remember if that was there with stock recovery or not, I've been on custom and rooted since I got the phone, but I do know it's there no matter if you're on touchwiz or aosp.

Charging while powering on with vol down shows a instant white flicker across the screen and the notif LED will light up to the duration I press the power button.

Plugging to a computer doesn't show anything. My notif led will light up for a few secs and it goes off doing so.

I have found a solution if you do not mind controlling your FireTV from a web browser instead of an actual VNC app. The app I have found that does certainly work for all remote control use with the exception of transmitting video prime (which I would have expected to be choppy and unusable anyways) is called WebKey.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glitchbit:
To navigate remotely you are best off using an app like lanmote deluxe ($3.99) as it will let you use your phone as the controller via a very responsive web interface and it will let you use your keyboard. There is Air Keyboard as well if you prefer an actual app, but it does not have a dpad and standard media controls like lanmote does. I will check out teamviewer though, it may work better than webkey in some circumstances.

I only mention solutions that work for both iOS and Android as I use an iPhone and while I know there may be better mouse/keyboard remote control apps for Android phones they are useless to me.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guskax:
Hey guys, my phone got totally stuck on a Samsung logo (neverending loop).

Yesterday I let my bro play an Angry Birds on my phone. After a while I took my phone back and to my surprise it wasn't responding. Mobile was turned on (connected to the charger) but all I could see was a black screen. I tried restarting my phone by removing battery but it didn't help at all. I got stuck at Cyanogen Mod logo everytime. Since I haven't updated my firmware in a while I decided to intstall the newest version of CM (KitKat 4.4.4 from novafusion.pl) using Odin app. After a successful installation my phone still didn't boot up, I was getting stuck on a blue CM logo. After this I wanted to wipe my cache/dalvik cache but I wasn't able to get into recovery mode (getting stuck on a TeamWin screen). Reinstalling TWRP and installing ClockWork recovery didn't have any effect. I wiped my phone using .tar file found on this forums, tried reinstalling my ROM recovery many times, tried installing param file (don't even know what's that) and resetting three button combination using Benzonat0r's mod. None of these things seemed to have any impact. I'm still not able to get into recovery neither boot my phone up - Samsung logo bootloop. What am I supposed to do to unbrick my phone?

On a side note my knowledge about Android phones is tiny so please consider this. Also forgive me my poor grammar, not a native English speaker here.
