What on earth are you talking about? The bootloader is there to start (in this case) the boot image which contains a initramfs and a kernel image, the kernel only starts a single user space process (init in this case).

In reality the boot loader just loads a arbitrary piece of code and executes a jmp command to the start of the memory where the code can be executed but I digress.

Android is to Linux as Osx is to Unix. They may use the kernel, but 99% of the os is different.

Google requires any company wishing to use gapps on android to go through a series of automated tests using the android compatibility test suite. Gapps is separate from android and is in no way shape or form required to be there for android to function. Google wont do anything because there isnt a need to do anything.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryan9915:
Please help! Several weeks ago my phone started shutting off and dying when the battery indicator was at about 75%. It drains normally until this point then just shuts off. No low bat warning, no rapid discharge. Thoughts on the issue?

I just replaced the battery about 9 month ago since the original was having issues holding a decent charge. But that one would work as normal just didn't have as much life in it. Unfortunately I tossed that one so can't try to switch them back.

thanks

Crap. Battery is not that old. Maybe I got a bad one. I guess I will try a new one.

Edit: Looked it up I just bought it in April
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:
It should be covered in warranty, then, as they carry 6 months warranty at least.

But yeah, did you test as I said? If so, and it is ok while plugged in, definitely the battery.

I highly recommend Anker batteries from Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-2200mAh-Battery-Samsung-GT-I9300-White/dp/B008AGA6PK

They're great quality and they're a responsive company.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryan9915:
Yea it works fine when plugged in. In fact I leave it plugged in most the day on my desk now so that it stays charged. Do you think Anker is better than OEM. Right now the Samsung battery is cheaper.

I am sending mine in under warranty but it will take almost 2 weeks until I get it back. So I will probably order another anyhow.

Hey all!

Recently I got my hands on a chinese GT-I9502 clone... I'm kinda new to rom and recovery cooking and I'm willing to spend hours on learning how to build an android ROM. So here is my question: Is it possible to build a ROM/Recovery for a phone without released sources or device tree? I was able to find kernel sources for my chipset (MT6589)... dunno if it can help...

Thanks in advance (I hope you will keep my hopes up! ^^ )

Hi, it is possible to to flash stock recovery and get LOCKED flag together ?

If I will use htcguru tool to LOCKED flag i must have twrp recovery, but if I LOCKED bootloader then will be problem with install stock recovery ?

If I install stock recovery first it will be will be unable to use guru tool?

I got S-OFF and tried to use "fastboot oem LOCK", but recieve ***RELOCKED*** flag...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
use the guru bootloader tool to set back the bootloader to locked and then pack your stock recovery image in a firmware.zip file with an android-info.txt file that match your phone info. flash the firmware.zip in ruu mode.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
The only way you can flash the recovery partition with a locked or relocked bootloader is by using a firmware.zip file in RUU mode

so like I said, pack your recovery.img and your android-info.txt file in a firmware.zip and flash it in RUU mode (require s-off)

fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash firmware.zip

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richard Hallett:
I tried an upgrade to C-ROM with its TWRP backup. I want to go back to CM11 and I have two CWM backups.

C-ROM grabs a reboot to Recovery and shows a screen with options, none of which is useful to me.

ROM manager won't install as incompatible.

Please tell me what to do?

Richard
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Flash CM11 nightly and after reboot into the OS, reboot recovery and restore your backup. Optionally, you can just flash the CM11 stock kernel and reboot into its CWM recovery and restore your backup then.

Recovery on i9000 is part of the kernel, so you can totally forget ROM Manager app for flashing the recovery.

Questions about Recovery

Hi tetapetak

I get trapped in the TWRP menu screen whenever I try to boot into Recovery. I tried Install and went to the CM zip file and was able to get to the com folder but didn't know where to go next. Should I go deeper.

While browsing I found an app called Flashify. Would that help"

I also found a youtube video Change Custom Recovery from TWRP to ClockworkMod on HTC One that sounded good but Galaxy and HTC are different.

I would have to chose between TWRP for Samsung Galaxy S2 Exhilarate SGH-i577 or TWRP for Samsung Galaxy S3 (Canada) if I wanted to follow the directions.

Richard
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Don't worry mate, you will get your phone working. You can not follow the threads for other phones. HTC has separately flashable recovery, unlike the i9000 which uses the same partition for recovery and kernel. That is the reason why i9000 gets easier light-bricked, because as soon as the kernel doesn't boot also the recovery mode often won't work anymore.

The most reliable way to unbrick, tough bit longer one, is to flash a stock firmware with Odin. For downgrading to 2.3.x from 4.3+ roms using the PIT file with repartition is obligatory. So as you use KitKat (and other system partition sizes than stock) it would be easier and faster to flash just a kernel that will boot.

So, how is the situation exactly now: do you get just TWRP recovery splash screen but can not enter it? If so, please flash in download mode with Odin v.1.82 or v.1.83 the Semaphore kernel v3.4.3 with unchecked auto-reboot and unchecked re-partition (use tar file under PDA in Odin). Then turn off and reboot into the recovery with 3-buttons combo.

You will possibly can restore whole CM11 backup with Semaphore recovery if you have used CM11 stock kernel to create backup. I am not sure for that, but what would ceirtanly work would be to wipe data, cache, dalvik cache and system, to flash CM11 nightly and then reboot once into the OS and reboot recovery to restore nandroid backup.

Progress report

Thanks for your help. I need more.

Richard
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richard Hallett:
Good progress, almost there.

Things are going well, not perfect but well. That sticking is download position was not a problem. You just have to download something else that will complete. To use Odin (Kies didn't work) I needed a tar of a system. I tried a Samsung JB that I found on SamMobile, using Odin. It loaded are booted when complete. Got the Samsung screen and those wavy lines with music but nothing more. Tried the Recover button trick and it worked. So the phone is fixed except for picking up a tar to start and then I can recover a CM11 backup of mine.

I think I need a KK tar to get the CM11 backups to work. I did try restoring one and got an error saying that "this package is for "galaxys2.i9100 .." devices; this one is a "", There was nothing between the quotes. The tar system I used was a JB so that may be the problem.

So all I need to know of a KK tar or I could try changing the tar to a zip to please Odin.

Thanks again for your help tetapetak

Hi there!

I currently have the Galaxy S4 LTE version and planning on replacing it with a rustproof/shockproof/wtaerproof Android phone. My next plan is to get the S4 Active but is it any good?

I don't mind the 8MP camera but is any good or better than the S3? Having TFT screen would that mean colours, contrast, brightness,blacks are not as punchy as its S4 AMOLED counterpart?

Haven't heard of poor battery life but with so much bloateware installed i expect it to be at par (at least) with the S4. True?

Is the general performance as good as the S4? And is Android 4.4.2/3/4 available now to download?

Please advice.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent.:
I would highly advise against getting the Active as it has little to no support of any kind being that it is a carrier exclusive phone. Even just finding a good case for the phone is a struggle. The software is shoddy too and water resistance is questionable. I regret not getting the standard S4.
