[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] essjey:
4.3 sucks! i am using it since a year..

how about 4.4.4 liquidsmooth?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coltlacey1:
I was having this same probelm after not resetting my phone for a long time. I have been on cm10/11 nightlies since they came out. finally got tired of the reboots and ended up wiping the phone, clearing caches, installed new gapps package for 4.4.x and new cm11 nightly no more random reboots.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireBlazeGT:
Reflash the ROM!

Why dont u opt for 4.3 or 4.4.2?

they are great! :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tcapristano:
Hi. First of all thank you for this forum, help and all you managed to create here.

Its been 2 days since my Xperia S is stuck in CWM mode. N00b me, forgot to transfer the ROM.zip to the sd card first.

After this, I tried all I've read- push, sideload, adb shell. All get the same error: device not found. But if I want to flash the "recovery-nozomi.img" again it works.

Sony Mobile Flasher says its connected and also allows flashes and reboots.

Read a great guide about installing drivers (but for another phone), but i think i have the latest ones, got them through SDK manager.

I also, deleted all CWM allows to delete/reset. Not sure what areas need to be mounted though.

I use the "reboot" interval from CWM, to press UP and connect the USB, while the blue light is on (and after that stays on), and sometimes i can get the green light on, but nothing different happens, it just says something like "no device connected".

What/where are the best drivers for USB/win 7 64?

Is there a software that allows to push the rom.zip onto the sdcard? Besides adb?

Can I load an .img instead of the recovery.nozomi that could fix this?

Does the "kill" battery trick help in this case?

Lets say I dont mind formatting the whole thing (like an old windows 386 PC) instead of just reinstalling de OS, is there an option for that?

Touching/altering the kernel like i did ages ago to ROOT would help?

Sorry for the looong text. :cyclops:

I'm out of options.

Any ideas, or is it clear as water to any of you?

Thank you/obrigado

From Lisbon/Portugal

What is the difference between Kernel and ROM, TO IMPROVE MY PHONE.

Because i was reading about DooM kernel, and other more, and i dont know what it is for.

For example: Now I have Stock ROM, and... what will happen if I install other? Can i remove the Stock kernel to other compatible Kernel? Can I?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
DoomKernel is for stock and stock based ROM's. You can easily use it on Stock firmware. Custom kernels do offer more speed and other more functionality that are not available in the stock kernel. But for flashing a custom kernel You would have to unlock Your bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1Emerson1:
Hello all, I'm here today because my note 2 (SGH-I317) seems to be stuck on the samsung logo. I tried using Odin and multiple ROMs, it says "PASS" but it looks like nothing was done to the phone. I can only get into download mode and not recovery, I tried to flash a custom recovery but no dice. I put many hours into finding a solution until I came across "Sudden Death", the device might of have a faulty chipset but there's no knowing for sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S, I hope I opened this forum in appropriate location. :D

[Themer General Discussion] Dr.HenrySoto:
why when I try to install Themer a message appears saying: "launcher, the application is stopped" or something like that, my rom is CM11 4.4.4
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
Hi,

If you're running a custom ROM such as CM, certain display settings (such as a system-wide icon pack, DPI, resolution, etc.) might have been altered. Themer works best on stock settings, therefore resetting these back to default should fix the error.

For after the changes have been made, try this:

1. Uninstall Themer.

2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder (removing the Exported folder within it if you saved any themes).

3. Reinstall Themer.

[Themer General Discussion] Dr.HenrySoto:
Ok, problem solved, just dissable my old launcher and icon pack, then i was able to apply themer.

Hi there, I've put WPA PSK security on my router, thinking that my Hermes would be able to connect without a hitch but now it doesn't even show the SSID when it's searching, never mind ask me for a password...

Any ideas?

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bobstarina:
You are trying to do it in a wrong way.

Go into the "Settings" -> "Connections" -> "Network cards"

When you see your SSID in a list with "Available" status just click with stylus on it.

You will see configuration dialog for your SSID.

There you will be able to setup type of used security (WEP, WPA-PSK), type of key (TKIP) and enter a network key.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrjuglas:
Thanks for the tip, I did as you suggested, found the network which was available, input the password and now I'm in exactly the same state as before... I'm sure it should be connecting but it doesn't
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrjuglas:
Oh, that's done the trick. I had a look at the router settings and the encryption was set to TKIP and AES (whatever they are) I changed this to TKIP and now it connects no problem. Thanks for your help :)

I was trying to update my Verizon Note 2 (SCH-i605) from 4.1.1 to KitKat. Unfortunately, my boot loader was locked and now all I get is a 'System software not authorized by Verizon...' screen at boot. I've try several tutorials using Odin to restore stock but nothing works. Has anyone else had trouble doing this? Is my phone permanently bricked?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boredude001:
This question has been asked numerous times, but I found no resolution.

I have windows vista 64 bit, Galaxy s4 (SCH1545) running android 4.4.2. I have developer options enabled, and USB debugging is allowed. Phone is currently connected to the USB port as a media device, and in the windows explorer, it shows up as portable media player. I also have SD card installed in the phone where I keep my media files.

I just got my data cable yesterday, so I plugged my S4 into one of the ports in my USB splitter (4 ports). And all hell broke loose. My device wasn't recognized, the drivers weren't installing (cdc serial, samsung_android, the usual suspects).

Then I installed the samsung kies, it shows my device, but the drivers weren't installed still.

Then my windows started updates which failed to install the drivers over 10 times, I think. Then it dawned on me, the errors the updates were showing dealt with the device not being plugged in, and that I was going into the computer through a USB splitter.

So I shuffled my external drives around and freed one of the 2 USB ports on my computer. And I directly connected S4 into the USB, and repeated the windows driver updates, and it recognized the device. I even moved an mp4 file to the phone as a test and it worked fine.

But moving the same MP4 file back from the phone to a folder in windows, crashes the windows explorer. Every time.

Also if I try to launch the MP4 or AVI file that I moved into the SD card, from the folder in the phone, and it also crashes the windows explorer. Every time.

So I tried to launch any kind of media file (MP3 this time) on the phone using the windows, and it crashes the windows explorer every time.

So far the only way to get the file off my phone is to take the SD card out and put it into the windows. This works fine, but it's a hassle which is why I bought a data cable.

tl;dr

If I launch any media files in the phone using windows explorer, windows explorer crashes and restarts. If I try to copy the file from the phone to windows, explorer crashes and restarts, however, I can copy a file from the windows to the phone without explorer crashing.

What is a solution to this?

Maybe all you smart developers can come up with some hack or app or something.

I will start by saying that I am a long time lurker on these forums and they have helped me through pretty much all of my phone mishaps and accomplishments so thank you guys. I am sorry if this has been answered before but I can't find any solution that works so I'll throw everything out there and hope some generous stranger with some free time can help me out or show me what I am doing wrong.

What I have:

Verizon Galaxy S4

- Model Number: SCH-I545

- Android Version: 4.4.2

- Baseband Version: I545VRUF

NC5

What I have done to the device:

- Rooted via Towelroot

- Safestrap 3.72 installed

- Echoe v29 flashed using Safestrap

The problem:

When clicking on the wifi button it turns green for a second then gets grayed out.

What I have tried to fix this problem

I flashed the modem.bin file using Odin with no luck, then flashed the modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin files (found on this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2487298 and I dowladed I545VRUFNC5_modem_apnhlos.zip from this) then flashed via Odin, still no wifi. I then completely wiped the phone and re-flashed the stock firmware, re-rooted, and re-installed safestrap. I then did a factory reset and installed the Echoe ROM, then the modem and NON-HLOS files all using Safestrap. Same outcome. I then repeated this but flashed the modem and NON-HLOS before I flased the ROM. Nothing.

Any suggestions? Am I missing something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Like the layout lol everyone should post their questions like this... anyway with Safestrap, you need to flash kernel modules right after you flash a rom, before the initial boot. If you don't do this, then WiFi doesn't work. You need the modules that match your bootloader, here's the link for the ones for NC5: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23486521113837640 (thanks to Surge)

Sometimes, for some people on certain roms, those modules still don't do the trick. In those cases, this zip seems to work for them:https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23487008491963696 , if you're still not getting WiFi, try this: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23487008491963692 (thanks to Gigilie)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Aliquis755:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vagabond007:
Im using the SPH - L710 GS3 on Tribute ROM.

My first problem is with my music/sound.

When the music is playing, there is like a crackling sound that comes out with the music, it sounds like crap.

It only happens when I have my phone plugged into an audio output jack, like for my car or stereo, when its not plugged into anything it sounds fine.

But it does it for any sound coming out of the phone when plugged into the audio jack, like youtube, or the stock music player, or watching movies online.

Searched around the forum and google, and found stuff about sound problems but nothing like the issue Im having.

Is there maybe another ROM I can try or Kernel I can flash to fix this? Or any other solution?

My next problem is my SD card.

When I go to flash a new ROM or Kernel or anything and put the .zip file on my external SD card, when I go to select the .zip on the recovery menu, the files I just put on my SD card are not there. I can see my music and other stuff , but never the files I just added. So I have been having to place everything I want to flash in my Android/obb folder just so I can flash stuff. Its a pain in my butt. I used SDFixer for my SD card if that makes any difference.

Thanks for any help!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
for the SD card it might have made a difference i personally just put my zip files on the Internal/external SD but not in a sub folder ie. Downloads i just put it on the "root" of my SD card and Philz Recovery reads it just fine what recovery are you using?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vagabond007:
Yep, that fixed my SD card issue, just place it in the root of the SD card and it worked fine.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbnorton0524:
On your audio are you using venom fx or dsp equalizer to enhance sound. They both have seperate settings for headphones/jack and speaker. Look in your apps and see if you have either audio enhancer and if you do play with the settings under headset.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
what's venom fx? and also he could install Viper4Andriod and mess with settings there too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbnorton0524:

Sorry i was half asleep i meant Viper

If you dont have viper4androidFX, download it and mess with the settings under headset. That should help tremendously.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Is this always with the same cable plugged into the headphone jack? If so try another cable.

You should try the totally stock ND8 ROM. If you still have sound issues then, then it's either the cable, speakers (unless it happens with different speakers), or hardware - the phone or headphone jack itself that's the problem.

Once done, my phone brought me to this screen which gave me options. "Reboot System now" "Apply update from ADB" "Apply update from external storage" "wipe data/factory reset" "wipe cache partition" and "apply update from cache". Under all of this it states "E: failed to mount /system (invalid argument). I tried wiping my data, however it did not work. I also tried taking out the battery several times and rebooting the device, but it stays stuck on the samsung logo. I originally had TWRP as my recovery. Everytime I get stuck into the samsung logo after I take out the battery I boot into recovery and the same screen shows up.

re: issues - flashing

Your phone is NOT bricked at all.

All you need to do is Odin flash the stock official 4.4.2 NF4 firmware which

can be found at http://SamMobile.com OR http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=33153

Here is the direct download link for Odin, place the firmware into the

PDA slot in Odin: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/Odin85.zip

Be sure to use the original USB cable which came with the phone

for best results.

Be sure you have the latest Samsung USB drivers installed in Windows.
