[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoDontKnowDiddley:
Hello there,

I am hoping you can help me. I bought a Droid Maxx Developer Edition rooted with the bootloader unlocked on the stock rom about a month ago on ebay used. It worked great up until a few weeks ago when I dropped it. It was only from a height of about 3 feet on to a carpeted floor. It had a case and screen protector on it but when I picked it back up I couldn't get it to turn on at first. When I finally did get it to turn on it would just flash the bootloader unlocked warning and the battery indicator at 0% over and over. So I read around and saw that I needed to get an factory adapter to be able to save it. I got the adapter on Friday and I played around with it some and was able to get it to boot the phone properly but still wasn't able to charge the phone. When I just had my charging cable I was only able to get it into fastboot mode and it would say the battery was low. Now with the adapter it says the battery is ok but still doesn't charge. When I dropped it had at least 70% battery. I am hoping I can recover all my data since I can get it booted up now. Though I am not sure how since the droid maxx doesn't have a sd card. I was thinking and please correct me if this doesn't work but I was thinking maybe I could boot up the phone on the factory cable and then place it on the wireless charger to maybe charge it. I haven't tried it yet since I was afraid to burn up something. I was also reading that there were some roms you could flash that wouldn't hurt your data. I wasn't sure if they were for this phone or for others. That would be nice if I could to that.

I want to try and recover this phone if possible since it is a developer edition and Motorola no longer carry's them. Not that it matters since I have no warranty with them since I did't buy it new. I would bet it was out of warranty when I bought it anyway. Any help or productive suggestions is greatly appreciated.

That sounds to me like s cracked logic board or maybe something on the inside is ripped. I recently bought a mini that was badly bent out of shape...after replacing a battery LCD digitizer frame ear piece, the device would boot only to cool down mode. So a logic swap got me a working phone, if you can get into fastboot.. You may be able to pull files. But I am not too sure

OTG works to get data off or just use android file transfer (Mac). USB mass storage works as is on windows.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoDontKnowDiddley:
How hard is it to do a logic swap? Should I try to do that myself or take it to a phone repair shop?

Sorry for my ignorance but what is OTG? I will have to try switching to mass storage mode since I have a PC. Is it possible to transfer something over the communications server that is loaded?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aviwdoowks:
See my x/ultra page below. Near the bottom for OTG. Windows it just works in mtp.

What happens when you boot to fastboot with just the usb cable attached to a wall charger? do you get the "charging" message in fastboot? or just Low Battery?

edit: the reason i ask is because I had a similar problem once, where i thought the phone was fubar'd cause I couldnt get it to boot, or show anything when plugged into the wall, but i left it overnight and when i got back in the am it worked. the only thing that could get my phone to boot previously was my factory cable

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoDontKnowDiddley:
My first attempt to revive the phone I plugged it into the wall with the usb cable and when I booted it up into fastboot mode it said charging. Unfortunately I couldn't leave well enough alone and kept trying to get it to fully boot. When I finally stopped trying and tried to get it into fast boot and get it to charge, it would only say low battery. Then the other day when I got the factory adapter I plugged it in and booted to fast boot and it still said battery low. Then in an attempt to see if the factory adapter would let me transfer files over I plugged it into my PC. I was amazed that it booted up fully. I was excited and I looked it over and didn't see any damage from the fall. The battery indicator widget showed it was plugged in but only 1% and not charging. So I thought I would try fast boot mode with the adapter plugged in. When it booted into fast boot mode this time it said battery ok. I was so happy. So I left it plugged in all day to let it charge. When I finally got home and unplugged it, still dead.

So now that I read your suggestion of plugging it into the wall, I gave it a try since I hadn't tried it since using the adapter. I booted into fast boot and got low battery again. Then I came up with the idea to plug it into my PC. I booted into fast boot and now it is charging!!! I don't want to get my hopes up because I have been disappointed before. It is something new at least. I am, let's just say cautiously optimistic.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asuhoops8628:
Good luck, please keep us posted. I know when it happened to me, it was crazy annoying trying to get it to charge. as long as you have "charging" you should be okay!
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoDontKnowDiddley:
Unfortunately while it said charging...It wasn't. My heart sank after leaving it on to charge all day and when I booted from fast boot and it just started boot looping again. Sigh.

Well that wasn't my last option so I am trying to stay positive. Is there a way to flash the stock rom on it and not lose my data? Honestly I have never flashed any roms before so this will be fun. lol

I really appreciate everyone's help.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asuhoops8628:
Does fastboot still say 1% battery??

Google up on House of Moto, its a CMD/Shell based tool that allows you to flash a FXZ with the "keep data" option. Let me know if you have any specific questions regarding HOM once you DL
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoDontKnowDiddley:
Fast boot without the adapter connected to the PC says Battery Low (charging)

Fast boot with the adapter connected to the PC says Battery OK

Fast boot with/without adapter plugged into the wall says Battery Low

With the adapter and plugged into my PC I can boot into the phone and the battery widget still says 1%.

The battery icon that pops up during the boot loop still says 0%

Ok I am just getting off work now so I will give that a try once I get home. Crossing my fingers and hoping this works.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asuhoops8628:
good luck!

where was the phone dropped, was it directly on the bottom where the USB would plug into the phone?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoDontKnowDiddley:
Ok I wasn't able to mess with it yet cuz I got called into my other job. I hope to play with it some after I get home today but I need to mow my lawn first.

Yes. The md5 did check out. It was correct.

One other note. When trying to install on TWRP. I checked the zip signature box, and i did receive the error message zip signature failed.

Dumb question can I flash through mobile odin, using the OTA/update ZIP file option. All other options require a .tar file

Thanks for any help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] craign8:
Currently I'm parsing the updater-script and rechecked all of the sha1 checksums and they are all processing correctly. At least on the pc they are.

So I checked the md5 on the pc transfered the file to the phone and rechecked the md5.

All is good. So I know the file on the phone is the same as the file on the pc. Hence the checksums on the phone are correct.

So it leads me to believe the problem could be in the directory or file permissions??

I'm relatively new to this field, but I can tell you with 100% definition that the checksums are correct and the md5 file is 100% correct. At least on the pc they are.

Non mmcblk device?!!!? Never seen that before, and it is wrong! The S3 is an mmcblk device! If you use a root capable file manager you can browse to /dev/block and you will see all the different mmcblk0p* partitions.

I hate to say it but i have no idea what could be going on. I hope someone else might have an idea. I am sorry for all the trouble. Hopefully we will figure it out soon. Ill try to find a different update-binary to see if that might help...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KD2417:
Ever since I rooted my phone it has been slowly getting glitchy and my battery life keeps dropping. I've been putting off the update because I'm not really knowledgeable about android in general and the tutorials seem kind of complicated. I just want to restore my phone to stock settings so my phone wont freeze at random times and I wont have messages pop up anymore. What the easiest way to go about deleting my twrp recovery so I can go back to stock? I don't really want to just update to a custom rom because I just want to restore my phone. Also I'd be great if there was a way to keep all my data in the process.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redduc900:
You would have to flash either the stock *.kdz or *.tot file to restore the phone to it's original condition, which in turn wipes everything on the phone including internal storage.

Is there any way to backup the data on my phone and restore it once I've flashed one of those files?

Hi, I think that I have done something to my new phone and it is not working right now. I was trying to root it, and followed the directions and it went into the rebooting phase. But now it does not want to get out of the rebooting phase. It keeps on turning off and on. I need help. I have looked all over to see if there is ways to root a gs5 sport and have come across a site that said do not try to root it. Now I am in trouble and would like to fix this problem. How do I factory reset this phone, root it if possible.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
If you're stuck in a bootloop, pull the battery and boot to recovery, hold home, vol up and power until it boots to recovery, then select wipe cache then wipe data factory reset.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
You can try the advice above, but it may not be sufficient. The poster there isn't very attentive to details.

Your phone is in a bootloop. If you are lucky and it's just due to a minor conflict then the above advice will prevail. But if your root was incomplete or any errors were written then it won't be sufficient. In that case you will need to use Odin to write a full factory firmware image to your phone to revert it to a proper working condition.

You should be able to root your phone. But we need to know the details of both your phone (model, firmware, baseband versions, etc) and a detailed description of how you tried to root it. In particular what file you tried to write and the Odin log that shows if any errors occurred during the root. Without those critical details we don't know what happened. If that information isn't available for some reason, then your best course would be to back up any files that are important to you. Then write a full stock firmware image to your phone and start over.

Hiya guys, first time poster long time follower here .___.

I know this might or might not be a common "noob" like question

for most of you but I wanted to know if anyone knows where and how

I could get a custom recovery for a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE model?

I previously owned, rooted, and successfully flashed CWM Recovery on the

previous none-LTE Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-T999)...but while jumping

from one Rom to another I accidentally tried flashing an International

version of a rom and basically hard bricked that one T-T

Two weeks later I got the "second generation" of the S3 with LTE capabilities

you could say. But after successfully rooting it after months of doubt thinking I'd

fudge it up again, I came to a brick wall, CWM, Philz, and other major recovery teams

haven't made a version of their app compatible with this newer model of the S3

Maybe I've been away from the rooting and rom forums too long or I'm

a bit too ignorant, but could anyone tell me if it's possible to get a recovery

for my phone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Use the same d2tmo recoveries as before.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KeyGenEXE:
So will it be alright to use Rom Manager to try and install the d2tmo recovery using the app or must it be done manually using the PC version of ODIN?

Mobile Odin doesn't recognize this device either so no mobile flashing either...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I posted the info Chainfire needed to add support for the T999L soon after its release. Since all other T999 stuff works im pretty sure all hed have to do is allow it to use the same flash kernel. Kinda surprised he never added it.

You can try with an app, but it may block the install. If so youll have to flash in odin.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KeyGenEXE:
From what I've read on the ratings/posts on his Google Play Apps it appears Chainfire has been laying low lately. I don't know how true this might be or to what extent but I doubt I'll be getting legitimate support for this phone model any time soon.

As for trying to install the d2tmo recovery I'll have to download the package from the site and try using Flashify or another mobile flash app for now since I don't have my laptop on hand.

Thanks for your quick and very helpful replies DocHoliday77!

I'll post if it works for any other who has the same doubts, if not, bricked I guess lol

By the way, is your username a Generator Rex reference?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You do have another option. Download the recovery.img file, or extract it from a zip file. Open Terminal Emulator and enter this:

su

dd if=/path/to/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

Thats it! Just be careful you make no mistakes typing or it could brick your device!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jschurawlow:
Don't know if others ran into this but TWRP won't mount anything for me on the T999l - I ended up needing to resort to using CWM and clockwork works fine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Youre not the only one. I think i know how to fix it, but i just havent had time. Just stick with what is working for now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KeyGenEXE:
I apologize for the late reply.

I was able to flash the CWM Recovery using ROM Manager and selecting the d2tmo model. Heck, I was even able to install CM 11 (d2lte) thanks to that :) But that's off the topic.

Thanks for your help DocHoliday77!

[Fire TV General] fairplay89:
I've been using XBMC on the FireTV fairly successfully but wished it was a bit snappier. Thinking back to my days with the Galaxy S3, I remembered a great app called Seeder.

From the Play Store listing:

Seeder is a service for root users. It assists the kernel in "topping off" the entropy pool by re-seeding it with data from the non-blocking (high performance) random device. Optionally, it can also help alleviate MMC I/O contention by extending the I/O queue, allowing the I/O scheduler to make better decisions, and combine more writes.

After installing and enabling the moderate option on my FireTV, XBMC loads faster and navigates through menus much smoother. An essential app and well worth the purchase in my opinion.

Setup:

Root your FireTV (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2783805)

Install Google Play Store (http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-install-the-google-play-store-on-the-amazon-fire-tv/)

Download Seeder (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lcis.seeder&hl=en)

Give Seeder root permissions

Select Start on Boot

Choose Moderate

Profit!

Thanks for your tip. Does Anyone else recommends it? I am quite satisfied with the firetv performance but i am all forward with improvements

[Fire TV General] retroben:
It does boost performance,even with my "overclocked" settings already made.

I quote it because I can't actually overclock the Fire TV because the lack of unlocked bootloader.

I can only change governor types to "Performance" on GPU,and "interactive" on all four CPU cores to boost them a bit.

I also have two booster apps for visual and touch performance increases,which prove to work really well.

I want to OC the GPU to a minimum 400Mhz and maximum 500Mhz to match the stronger equivalent GPU's 450Mhz and 550Mhz OC settings.

Maybe also get the CPUs on at least 1.9 Ghz or 2.0Ghz as the maximum with 500Mhz as the forced minimum.

When bootloader unlocking is possible,I want to find a fix for the kernel panic rebooting issue with Reicast caused by instability with certain Android ROMs.
[Fire TV General] Spykez0129:
Nothing...NOTHING about what you're doing is even remotely considered overclocking....

OC is pushing hardware past it's max performance out of the box or standard state. CPU's downclock themselves for power savings. You telling it to run at a different minimum isn't OC'ing, you're just telling it to not downclock itself so far.
[Fire TV General] kairnage:
Lighten up. In case you missed it he said he can't overclock and even pointed out his use of quotes.

If you want to be nit picky overclocking is not pushing hardware past it's max performance but TO it. Overclocking takes the hardware past factory spec, which you could call "standard state" but that is never near the max. It is set for stability and longevity not necessarily the fastest performance.

Intel used to push a new chip until it crashed then dropped it a notch and called it XGHz. It's why overclocking was so limited without changing voltage and needing extra and even extreme cooling. AMD always designed a chip to have plenty of room to grow and why they support overclocking and enabling extra cores.
[Fire TV General] retroben:
AMD now has some extremely powerful multicore CPU processors up to 5.0Ghz!

It's called AMD FX-9590.

Beat that,intel!
