[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FelixAurelius:
Is there an alternative method to root a p900 (note pro 12.2 Wifi)? I've tried the auto root procedure using ODIN several times, and have tried essentially every suggestion to complete the process. Every time, without fail, the process will hang on cache.img. I have been able to flawlessly install the recoveryimg.tar as well as the TWRP bootloader, but not the actual root file. I played around in TWRP trying to find out if there was an issue with the cache partition, and I've tried repartitioning it in TWRP to EXT2,EXT3,EXT4 and FAT to no avail; every time I try to flash the root file it hangs.

Is there a way to manually apply the cache.img to the cache partition, or apply the files contained within the image directly to the partition? The recovery.img file contained in the root archive installs just fine, but the cache file simply won't apply. Alternatively, is there a way to use Kies or Heimdall to apply the relevant files?

If the autoroot method simply doesn't work, is there an alternative method to root the device? I don't mind playing around in the device directories and manually copying files, but I'd like to have root.

Model: SM-p900 64gb edition, purchased in the United States and received August 11, 2014 (in case there were hardware revisions since the time CF-autoroot was released)

Thanks for your help.

EDIT: figured I'd include ODIN's output from my most recent attempt at flashing, it may be helpful.

Good News: I was able to successfully install CF Auto root by first installing a full firmware image. That somehow enabled the ODIN flasher to work. It was ~2GB but it did the job .

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calahorn:
Hi, I recently updated my Samsung Ativ S T899M phone to windows phone 8.1 via the developers preview app. I use the phone on the Telus network here in Canada. After I did the update I'm no longer able to enable wifi tethering. When I attempt to activate it, I get the following error: "Connection not shared - There's no cellular data connection to share right now. Check your cellular settings and signal, and try again.".

My APN settings are correct for Telus, I'm getting internet and am able to send and receive MMS. Does anyone know if this issue can be resolved? And if not, Is there a possibility of reverting back to the original rom I had installed?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
We don't have base ROMs for the T899M, sadly. If your phone is interop-unlocked though, I'm working on a fix for the tethering issue here: http://xdaforums.com/windows-phone-8/help/help-fix-internet-sharing-feature-t2843391. If it worked for you *before* 8.1 and doesn't now, that would be weird (and I'd appreciate you completing the process listed there).

You can also try flashing one of [MENTION=2734362]-W_O_L_F-[/MENTION]'s custom CSCs. They aren't full ROMs, but they still allow us to fix/change a lot of stuff. Some people have reported that they fix Internet Sharing.

Hey GoodDayToDie, sorry for the private message earlier. I managed to flash wolfs CSC file and I can confirm that it indeed fixes the internet sharing issue. Thanks again, and I'll follow your instructions on the other page to get the information you need.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon4248:
I have this phone as well. It came from bell and it is unlocked, I currently am using it on koodo. Everything appears to work okay for me, even tethering via WiFi.

I am having other small problems however,

Whenever I reset my phone the ringtone goes back to default rather than staying on the custom

If I select 3g only it still connects to LTE which is horrible reception where I am located.

Enabling, and then disabling Airplane mode causes my phone to go all sluggish, only way to fix is to reboot.

Any one know of fixes for these issues in 8.1 DP on the t899m? would wolfs custom csc fix these issues?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xAD3r1ty:
Hey guys, I have been trying forever to get 3d live wallpapers on my xperia sp, but it doesn't work! it won't get the 3d effect like every phone that has gyroscope, why this happens? tried with several apps and on different roms but the same! Any idea?

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xAD3r1ty:

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xAD3r1ty:
Someone? i would like to know more about this issue..
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QBerto:
I think is problem for you? what about service test like the guy in the second post? have u tried? that could mean u throw ur phone or something like that, for me both service test and parallax wallpaper works fine
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrSteve555:
Yep, for me it also works fine.

Once I accidentally dropped my phone and the vibrations(haptic feedback, etc.) stopped working.

Maybe it's not the best solution, but I hit the phone with my hand and it was fixed.

Btw, thanks to that problem, I noticed the existence of Parallax wallpapers. :p
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xAD3r1ty:
Steve, exactly, i have apps to test sensor they are all working.. parallax wallpapers don't work like in devices with gyro, just watch some videos on youtube and you'll probably notice what i'm saying, can you test it anyways to see if u have the 3d effect?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrSteve555:
I used the Asteroids 3D LWP to test it out and it works perfectly fine, like on iOS 7 device with that parallax effect.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xAD3r1ty:
Hey steve, i'm not sure if ur talking about a real 3d effect where things really seem to be there or just the thing i get that doesn't look like 3d at all.. i just tested that asteroid live wallpaper and there's no 3d effect as i suspected, every sensor of my phone is working the way it should, again, i have many apps that show me my sensors and if they are working or not and everything is fine.. btw phone is new and i never dropped it, anyone with ideas?? anyone at all that has a different phone with gyro that can teste 3d wallpaper and test back on sp to see the differences?

Any mugen rom emulator for the tmobile note 3 anywhere or a way to convert files to play in the note 3?
[ONE General] edgarf28:
I don't know where to post/report this exactly... So I'm posting it here for now.

I've discovered that all the AOSP based ROM's for our OPO are missing some files, that causes an bug:

Some media/video streams on internet are not working, and causes an black frozen screen, after 1/2 minute(s) that you did try to start the video-stream... (You have to force reboot your device with the hardware buttons when you're experiencing this bug)

The Stock CM11S ROM doesn't have this bug, only ALL the AOSP ROM's.

So I've compared all the files differences between those 2 ROM's (latest 30O Stock ROM & latest CM11 nightly), and I discovered that the CM11 nightly (and all the other OPO AOSP based ROM's) are missing some files in the /system/vendor folder that are causing this bug...

I see that those files are included with CM11 niglties for other devices, but not with the CM11 nightlies for our OnePlus :confused:

And no, those files are also not included in ANY GAPPS package!!

Thus I've tried adding those files to the latest CM11 nightly that I have installed on my OPO... and guess what it did fix this problem, and video streams are now working properly (and not getting the black screen of dead anymore!)

The missing files that I'm talking about are the following ones:

/system/vendor/lib/mediadrm/libwvdrmengine.so

/system/vendor/lib/libwvdrm_L3.so

/system/vendor/lib/libwvm.so

/system/vendor/lib/libWVStreamControlAPI_L3.so

So I've made an flashable fix for this if you're also experiencing this bug.

You can use it on any AOSP based ROM.

The source of those files are the latest 30O CM11S Stock ROM.

Download for the AOSP Streaming FIX:

(NOT needed when you're on CM11S Stock based ROM's!!)

Why do you think you need JTAG repair? It's only needed if you somehow destroyed your bootloader.

[P3600 General] ric h710:
TCPMP / Coreplayer Doesn't support the combination Samsung CPU ATI Imageon chip, in Coreplayers forum their is a lot of information about that, they are trying to get info about the chip from ATI but no luck yet. Raw Framebuffer seems to work, but gives a really slow TCPMP/Coreplayer. Until the problems are solved I use to convert my movies to "Ipod" format .mp4 wihich Mediaplayer in Trinity supports through the ATI chip, an .mp4 file of 768kbps and 30fps runs smooth in WMP
[P3600 General] prsnow:
MP4, huh? I'll have to try that out. WMV playback in Windows Media Player is still slow and sucks just like TCPMP/Coreplayer.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Spectre216:
So I was trying to use my mouse with my phone and note 10.1 (2014 edition), but it doesn't work. On the phone the mouse laser will try to turn on (looks like it's pulsating) but then shuts off and the mouse doesn't work. Could it be that the phone doesn't put out enough power for the mouse to work? I've used a mouse on my old s3 before without any issues, but I know the old kindle fire needed a powered usb port to run usb device. Is this the same problem and if so should I just get a Bluetooth mouse?

edit: I connected my gaming mouse and it connects as a keyboard (only can type the number 3) not as a mouse (no cursor). Does this mean its an issue with the phone?

Hello all,

I have still the spigen slim armour view, but the door is broken at the hinge. This happend after a few months use. You know this problem. The case could be a good one, if Spigen would have fixed that failure, as soon as it was known shortly after market launch. But nothing has happened. So, I don't want to buy another one, as long as Spigen does not want to fix it. And right now they want crazy 60 USD in their web for this not perfect case.

I only want a case, which activates the phone, when you open it. S-view function is not important to me. Do you know a case like that?

Or do you know, how to prepare a different case by taking the chip and magnet, and putting it into that other restistant case?

Maybe I am not the only one looking for that.

See you,

[Android General] laotzy:
My question is - can't I use the option of formatting the Internal memory to ext4 from my Recovery? There is such an option there. My tlf is Galaxy S2, by Samsung + CM11
[Android General] philippe734:
Format in ext4 the internal sdcard from recovery don't work, even if option is available. Use parted magic can avoid unexpected issues [emoji106] I did it with success on my Galaxy S2 running CM11.
[Android General] laotzy:
I have formatted Internal memory into ext4 and now my PC doesn't recognize it :cool: so I cannot copy all tha Data back to the internal memory. What I did wrong?

I think I know... I did use the option of the phone :) So I am going back to default and then I will try again using Magic CD
[Android General] philippe734:
Nothing : windows can not access to your internal sdcard in ext4. To access to your internal memory in ext4 from windows, you need to set MTP before connected in USB your device. Read the end of my guide. And to format in ext4, don't do it under windows but linux as live cd of parted magic.
[Android General] chrhei:
EXT4 on SGS2

My ext4 experience with stock CM11, always latest nightly:

- Backup up your phone data (sdcard0 and sdcard1) first, make the data available on your computer

- Boot your favorite Linux (e.g. from Live CD)

- CWM into my SGS2, connect phone via USB to your Linux computer

- Mount your SD cards to USB

- sdcard0 and sdcard1 should be accessible on your Linux Box

- Convert both partitions to ext4 (do not use CWM!, doesn't work for me) and make them available to the Linux computer

- Copy your backed-up data back to your phone (restore) using your Linux computer

- Reboot your phone again into recovery

- ADB to your phone as root

- Check permissions

ls -la /mnt/media_rw/

drwxrwxr-x media_rw media_rw 2014-08-20 21:56 sdcard0

drwxrwxr-x media_rw media_rw 2014-08-21 18:32 sdcard1

- Fix permissions (user media_rw, uid=1023, group media_rw, gid=1023):

cd /mnt/media_rw/

find sdcard0 -type d -exec chmod 0775 {} \;

find sdcard0 -type d -exec chown media_rw:media_rw {} \;

find sdcard0 -type f -exec chmod 0775 {} \;

find sdcard0 -type f -exec chown media_rw:media_rw {} \;

find sdcard1 -type d -exec chmod 0775 {} \;

find sdcard1 -type d -exec chown media_rw:media_rw {} \;

find sdcard1 -type f -exec chmod 0775 {} \;

find sdcard1 -type f -exec chown media_rw:media_rw {} \;

- FINISHED

To access (r/w) both sdcards (0/1) from a Linux computer your >Linux user< needs to be a member of a created GROUP called "media_rw" with the GID "1023". For "normal" data transfers use the MTP mode of your phone, so you will not run into permission issues.

Regards,
[Android General] philippe734:
True. Because without this fix, no way to write or create new folder on the internal sdcard ext4.
[Android General] chrhei:
I would like to keep this because it will prevent permission issues for everybody caused by wrong GIDs.
[Android General] HippyTed:
Thankyou chrhei. Please can you also say more about what options to choose when formatting sdcard0 and sdcard1 to ext4. Or do you simply let mkfs.ext4 decide based on its defaults?
[Android General] chrhei:
Yes, no extra options, just created the ext4 file system. I guess you ask because of the journal, no problems so far.
[Android General] laotzy:
Could you tell me if the telefone, after formatting both memories into ext4, consumes more battery? Or, there is no difference? And also, if you format to ext4 only your internal memory and the external one is left with FAT32 could there be a conflict between the two memories? When you update the CM firmware, do you have to format the memories again? I am speaking about Galaxy S2...
[Android General] chrhei:
Doesn't matter if you only convert internal or external SD card. But ext4 is very reliable and the overall performance is slightly better. Battery consumption is the same.
[Android General] Belamigo:
I am curious, why can't you use a partition manager running under MS Windows, so long as you correctly specify the Ext4 format for the Linux partition? I know Parted Magic isn't an MS Windows program -- I don't mean you should use that with Windows, but aren't there are other partitioning utilities that do run with the MS operating system?

Or not??
[Android General] chrhei:
If you don't know how to use Linux Ext4 is nothing for you. Don't use it.
[Android General] philippe734:
Because after formated, windows will not recognize the partition. Ext4 is not for window, that's the point is. You can do this format using virtualbox with linux, inside windows. But why do hard, when it's easy with live cd ?
[Android General] Belamigo:
OK, now I see the reason.

Ah, OK, I see your point. I read your thread again, and you're changing the entire card to Ext4, and not making a card with two partitions and two filesystems.

I was curious because I'm about to prepare an two-partition SD card to be hardlinked to /data, and I was following instructions for this, where the thread's author suggests a Windows-based partitioning/formatting utility.

So when I saw you saying not to do it, I was getting concerned that the other directions may be wrong.
[Android General] laotzy:
philippe734, something went wrong with my ext4...:crying: I did everything in accordance with the Manual, Internal memory was formatted into ext4 and then I copied back all the files to the internal memory. While in PartedMagic the content of the Internal memory is seen, no problem. But when I reboot the device it works but it says, not the computer but the telefone, that there is no memory... The external card and its content, still in fat32 are seen in any file manager. I think I might have done something wrong but I can't figure out, what exectly:eek:Using CWM I connected the phone to the computer and formatted the system back to fat32, so the telefone works as before but I would like to understand what goes wrong when I try to format it to ext4... Any idea?
