[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlasgowKid:
Hello everybody,

two weeks ago I've rooted my Desire Z and installed a custom ROM. (Android 4.2.2 AOSP Jelly Bean Custom ROM). Everything worked finde for two weeks. Since last week, I thought that loading the battery doesn't work as good as used to before the update. On Friday all of a suddent the custom ROM doesn't boot any more. I can go to the bootloader and to the recovery of the system.

I tried wiping cache, dalvik cache and after a backup a factory reset (wiping all data) and reinstalling the custom ROM again.

I can see the HTC logo and then a black screen. My adb doesn't find the device anymore.

Is there any way to debug to find out whats wrong or is there any other way get the phone working again?

Thanks for any help,

GlasgowKId

hi, when i use win32diskimager it wastes most of my 8gb memory card. i then dont have enough room to put my gapps and rom on

after writing the cwn, it says 110mb available from 116mb. but the card was freshly reformatted to almost 8gb

anyone know whats going wrong?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
That is the way it is supposed to be if you are using verygreen's original version of the install method. I assume you are trying to install CM to internal memory. If you are go to the Dummies guide linked in my signature it will let you install properly.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] safc49:
thats correct, thanks alot. i'll have a look at it. i did the 10.1 version before but didnt have this problem
[General Questions and Answers] drakeNas:
after use the wifi and put the phone on sleep and try to use internet again i cant i see not in range below my wifi name and the only way to fix that was to restart my phone but im tired of rebooting it so i thought i could restart only my wifi drier instead of rstarting the whole phone i googled that and i found a number *#*#526#*#* i dial that and nothing happens any idea how to restart that or how to fix that..... my phone is sony xperia tipo dual flashed with a costum rom
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
it is likely a problem with the rom. i would put stock back on to verify it. if stock works fine, you will either have to try another rom, or wait for the developer to release an update with the wifi fix in it.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raducanmihai:
Ok, I'm officially in trouble. I have a SM-G900F rooted with towelroot, SuperSu and BusyBox installed. I tried flashing with Mobile Odin Pro the latest NG2 firmware to keep root and not trip Knox. It failed twice (or three times), both times I was able to restore the original firmware with desktop Odin (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/help/mobile-odin-pro-4-20-issues-t2834671).

Then something strange happened: I noticed that on 4G I had only data but no signal bars (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/help/help-4g-data-signal-bars-t2837031). Then I had problems connecting to Wifi and a message appeared telling me I am in "Factory Mode" and some things are limited.

It was clear that my EFS partition is corrupted. I installed Root Explorer and there is nothing in my EFS folder (still I can use the phone in 2G/3G/4G for data and 2G/3G for calls but no Wifi).

I have 2 backups for EFS: one is made using Samsung Tools (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/development/efs-samsung-tool-universal-support-t2602325) and it's an efs.img file, the other is made using some EFS backup tool and it's just a copy of exactly what was in EFS folder (a few folders and files). I tried using Samsung Tools to restore the backup but no luck. When I restart the phone, EFS folder is still empty.

I rebooted in recovery mode and it said "failed to mount /efs". That's probably why Samsung Tools can't do it's job but I'm not sure. At this moment I'm not sure of anything. I think that someone with some knowledge (knowledge that unfortunately I'm missing) can help me fix this.

I really need for some help, so any ideas are welcomed.

Thank's,

Mihai Raducan
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raducanmihai:
It's only stock recovery, no TWRP or CWM.

I didn't mount the EFS partition before because I didn't know how. I'll follow your guide and report back.

Regarding the exact copy of EFS (efs.img): It's done with Samsung Tools but never had a chance to test it, so... I don't know. But let's take it one at a time. First problem: mount efs partition.

PS: My Windows laptop is playing tricks on me so it's going to take a while to reinstall Windows, adb, etc. But I'll be back.

Thank's.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raducanmihai:
Ok, I installed Adb, phone is recognized.

The first line of code

# ls -al /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name

gave me a list with the location of efs (and more). EFS is at dev/block/mmcblk0p12.

The second line of code

# /sbin/mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /efs

gives me : tmp-mksh: /sbin/mount: not found

Am I missing something?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Und3rtaker:
is img of /efs partition enough for restore?

here, it says, that we need to have 3 partitions for full restore..??..: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2737448

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/mnt/sdcard/efs.img.ext4

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/mnt/sdcard/modemst1.bin

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 of=/mnt/sdcard/modemst2.bin

but Samsung tool only makes efs.img..??.. who is right who is wrong?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raducanmihai:
I checked the size of my efs.img and the size of the partition with the command you gave me. They are both 14MB but on a closer look, adb shows 14336 and Windows reports 14680kb. So I don't know....

I installed Android Terminal Emulator and Shell Terminal Emulator (PlayStore) but I got the same thing. What's strange is that in both of them when I run the command "adb devices" they both give me nothing while in adb shell on desktop I get a number (as it should).

I understand that the syntax is for a specific terminal emulator. Tell me please what is that terminal emulator (that you know syntax is correct) so I can try with that one.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raducanmihai:
This is one the apps I tried with.

I'm describing step by step what I do. What I start with: SM-G900F rooted with towelroot, stock recovery, SuperSU and BusyBox installed, Knox 0x0.

I download and install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm.

Using this app:

su

and it changes to root@klte:/#

I enter:

# ls -al /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name

and it gives me a list with paths to different things. EFS apears to be at /dev/block/mmcblk0p12

I enter

# /sbin/mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /efs

and it says: "tmp-mksh: /sbin/mount: not found"

When I try

adb devices

it gives me no number.

I attached a file where you can see what I did.

One more thing: when I enter (stock) recovery, every time it says "Installing system update" for about 20 seconds and then enters recovery where it says "failed to mount/efs : invalid argument". The CSC part is apparently ok.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raducanmihai:
It doesn't work. From ADB it says "mkdir failed for /efs, File already exists".

And from terminal emulator, (with busybox) it asks for an argument (pic atached).

Is there any way of using Odin to fix this, because it seems that nothing works.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Und3rtaker:
i thought there could be more to the problem, not just /efs partition, since he said it was clear to him, and not beeing 100% fact..

:confused:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raducanmihai:
Thank's for your time. I'm flashing now the original firmware (so I can start fresh) and I'll document every step I take. I'll report back.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raducanmihai:
Ok, I tried flashing the original firmware (ANE2) and this time I can't even get pass the Samsung authentication screen (the first time you boot your phone and asks for language, Google account, etc), It asks me for the Samsung account and password that this phone was registered with) and it tries for a couple of minutes to verify the credentials (on data network) then it fails saying it is a network error.

I tried wipe cache/factory reset (from recovery) and reinstall a different firmware. Same thing. It seems now it's really messed up.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
As mentioned earlier, we did not expect a firmware image to fix your EFS. And the EFS is critical to normal phone operation.

The purpose of stock firmware is so that your phone is stable, reduce variables that might interfere and facilitate fixing your EFS. So I'm not why you apparently expected it to be an outright fix in and of itself?

Having installed the stock firmware should help you achieve your remaining goals. Now you need to decide if you are going to install a custom recovery or not. A custom recovery will increment your Knox flag if it isn't already. That affects very little, but it's your decision. It may affect the private mode feature or warranty claims, however many carriers don't care about Knox and E.U. legislation bars Samsung from invalidating a warranty unless they can demonstrate that root damaged your phone.

Whether or not you install a custom recovery, you will want to try writing your 14 MB EFS backup image to your phone. I believe that you'd find it easier to do so with a custom recovery. But it can be done with a stock one too, you will just have to deal with a bit more syntax in the latter case.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raducanmihai:
I didn't expect to fix the problem, I wanted a fresh start so I can try again the adb/terminal emulator commands. But what I didn't expect was not being able to, basically, start the phone. When you first start a new phone (or after a factory reset) it asks you language, Wifi, Google account and, in my case, for a Samsung account that this phone was paired with.

If I try to connect to a Wifi network the phone reboots itself. If not, it tries via data connection. Google credentials are ok but when it tries to verify Samsung credentials it gets stuck saying that it's a network problem and it doesn't go futher. So I get stuck at this point, between booting and actually being able to use the phone. I can't install anything, I can't receive or make phone calls (like before). I can't go to USB debugging so ADB doesn't see the phone.

I don't want to install a custom recovery because my Knox is 0x0 and my warranty is intact. I live in EU but in this case, it's clear that root access is what got me in trouble and brought the phone in this state. Actually not root access got me in trouble, but what I did with root access :)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
The only way to get your phone to work again and gain access to networks/wifi is by installing a new motherboard if you can`t restore the old EFS folder somehow.

Next time try this method to backup and restore your EFS folder http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2737448 if you are rooted.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Sorry that you found it a surprise.. but if reinstalling the stock firmware eliminated your phones problems, that would make it a solution, whereas it's a stepping stone. I did try to explain this earlier, where I told you that installing the firmware would

not

fix your EFS. And the EFS is essential to normal phone operation.

Regardless of the surprise, you are now on a better footing to finish fixing your phone. But for clarity, your problem started when your EFS got corrupted somehow. And your EFS needs to be restored before the problem will be resolved.

On the positive side, you appear to have a EFS backup, even if the backup app won't easily restore it to you phone. If you stick with it.. you just have some minor hurdles remaining - syntax or whatever - in getting your 14 MB EFS backup restored (written) to your EFS partition.

If you want that done painlessly, then pack a case of beer and your phone into a box and ship it to me. And I'll return it fixed. As it seems unlikely that you'd do that though.. then try to provide as much info as you can here and someone will try to help you finish fixing your phone in this thread.

Hey guys I`ve bought an Alpine and I want to put a 4GB SD Card in it??

Do you think, it works? Or is the maximium 2 GB, which works in Alpine?

CU
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] weatheryoko:
4 gb cards work......mostly.

I've used both the A-Data and the Transcend 4 GB cards on my Alpine. There is only one problem I've experienced. If your 4 GB card is less than half full (i.e. available storage is > 2gb), AND you've configured your camera to save the pictures you take to the SD card directly, then you may experience an error. The error simply says it can't save the SD card. If you card is more than 50% full of other stuff, then there is no problem using the camera application and saving your picutres directly to the SD Card.

I RARELY use my camera, so I really don't care. Plus, I have enough stuff on my SD card so that it never has more than 2 gb of available storage (i.e. its always more than half full). Consequently, this bug in the camera application is really not much of a nussiance.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] fatihkor:
ok, thank you very much for your reply...

can you give me some more details about your sd card??

thank you
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] flawless:
A 4Gb will work, but it does depend on the make - since, I'm guessing, cheaper makes use cheaper parts. Kingston and SanDisk seem to be pretty good.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] B00MSTICK:

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] pbohemien:
Watch out that the card is not a sdhc card. SDHC cards look like normally sd cards, but they dont' work on the Alpine.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] deezer:
all sdhc (high capacity) cards have "sdhc" sign so you can easily discern them

only the newest htc devices support sdhc cards

Hi everyone,

I've recently bought LG G3 without contract. Unfortunately. when I've turned it on i've saw carrier logo, and there were some carrier bloat already preinstalled. Probably someone sold it directly to them after getting it from carrier, or they bought it somehow from carrier?

So, I have guaranty from them, phone looks new, everything looks alright, phone is awesome so my first thought was to just leave it, I only see now carrier logo on start so it's not so bad.

However I've noticed that I have old soft: V10a-260-01 and there are no updates. So my question is: can I somehow change it to generic international software without loosing guaranty?

Bloatware is the slang phrase used to describe software that has lots of features and requires considerable disk space and RAM to install and run. As the cost of RAM and disk storage has decreased, there has been a growing trend among software developers to disregard the size of applications and the end result is bloated software. :laugh:
