Hello, most of the videos on youtube are for older versions of S-Note. The one installed on my Note PRO 12.2 is different (is it the same as the one installed on Note 3 and S5?). Any good tutorials or videos to teach beginners how to use the S-Note? Thanks.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaD_RoBoTs:
Hi, so my phone decided to stop working all of a sudden.

I was just doing things on my pc when I heard my phone rebooting, after I had recenly plugged it in.

It's running the latest stock ROM and not rooted. When I try switch it on it shows the Samsung Logo and on some occations some pixels create a fuzzy area underneath the logo text and at the bottom of the screen, it then switches off and after a while tries to boot again. When I try charge the phone it goes to the battery icon with the loading circle but nothing moves and yet again some of the pixles of the battery icon become distorted and then it switches off and tries again(also it vibrates twice before showing the battery icon). I can boot into Dowload mode and my PC recognises the phone(as well as odin) but I can't boot into recovery, or Safe Mode for that matter. I can remove the battery when in dowload mode and the phone remains on but I need the battery inserted to start up anything. I've only had my phone for two months now. Maybe I could be moisture from my shower earlier, I'll leave my phone in a bowl of rice overnight to see if that does anything.

Please try help me fix my problem. I've been looking for a solution all night.

Also due to me being overseas I can't format my phone as I'll lose my WhatsApp validation and all the pictures I've taken so far will be lost.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
It's not a software problem so you don't need to format.

My guess would be that you need a new battery.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaD_RoBoTs:
The battery isn't even swollen though?

I just tried starting up the phone by turning it on, then plugging in the cable and hitting the battery out but it still didn't boot.

Unfortunately I'm far away from a big city so I can't get another battery to test it to be absolutely sure though.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaD_RoBoTs:
Update:

I just tried booting it again and it got to the other Samsung screen where the LED is Blue and the Logo flashes blue behind it(Only got here once, hasn't gotten this far again yet). I left it for a bit but it just got stuck there and there was the same distorted pixels like in any other type of screen I get to also the logo stopped flashing when I tapped the screen and pressed the home button(this is when the distorted pictures started again).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaD_RoBoTs:
Here is an attached Image of the flickering part of the screen. It gets stuck on this screen and flickers at the bottom and just underneath the Logo and eventually turns off.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaD_RoBoTs:
No one know the problem?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
It's a hardware failure. Let's hope it's your battery even though it's not swollen.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaD_RoBoTs:
I tried a new battery today and it had exactly the same problems
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaD_RoBoTs:
So by some miracle it booted all the way to the lock screen and then rebooted from there right back to the lock screen again and I unlocked it and the home screen was fine and the phone seemed to function for a few seconds then it restarted and then got stuck at the Samsung logo again, I did manage to see that there was 17% Battery left so It has enough power to boot it. So I dunno what the hell could be causing it. It's such a weird problem I have no idea of how to fix it(within the warranty that is). I forgot to mention that the screen has 3 stress fracture cracks on the screen so somehow I think it is bending in my pocket, so that might be a reason why it's acting so weirdly.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaD_RoBoTs:
I also noticed that if I leave the battery out for a decent amount of time and try boot the phone up it boots up for about 20 seconds and then reboots again into a bootloop again. Also the battery percentage is at 0% apon boot, by this stage I've plugged it into my PC to try pull files off of it(Which I managed to get some files off).

So I currently have cm 10 would like to clear all data off phone, reset binary, revert to a rom where I can unlock. And go back to cm.

I installed cm by flashing clockworkmod via heimdall and then sideloading cm to phone. No odin.

I'm not quite following, but from what I've read, I need to find Triangle Away (where do i find?), am not sure which touchwiz rom would be compatible with. Not sure if should use triangle away first, then flash to the touchwiz rom, or vice versa to reset the binary counter.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nachochiappe:
Hello everyone,

I've tried everything in order to solve this myself (even contacting HTC support by mail), but can't get this to work. I'm actually facing 2 problems with my HTC One M8 Unlocked:

Can't unlock bootloader

Updating software via OTA won't work successfully

Let me briefly explain each problem:

I've tried to unlock my bootloader via htcdev.com but it's not working. I can enter fastboot, get my token, send it to HTC, receive my Unlock_code.bin file and send it to the phone. After selecting "Yes" when the phone asks me if I want to unlock the bootloader, it factory resets (as expected) as if everything went fine, but when I enter fastboot again, I see it's still saying "LOCKED". Tried this several times (manually, via AIO toolkits) but no luck.

My current software version is 2.22.1540.3. I get a notification stating there is an update for my phone in order to take it to version 2.22.1540.4. I download it, install it, but when it boots it says that my phone has been successfully update to 2.22.1540.3 (that is...my current version). So no update is really taking place. After that, I get again the notification that an update is available.

Those are the 2 problems I'm facing. Any ideas on what else can I try?

This is what I get from fastboot getvar all:

(bootloader) version: 0.5

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.18.0.0000

(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.19.21331147A1.09G

(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: 5e4b24e4

What's even more weird (and I've just noticed this) is that in one of those variables it says "version-main: 2.22.1540.4".
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Your main version (OS or software) hboot and radio baseband all match the latest OTA, so you are already updated. There is just something wrong that is causing notifications, but not sure what that might be.

The bootloader unlock issue is odd. I haven't seen it before on this device yet, but on the One X EVITA there were instances where folks had to try the bin code multiple (even dozens) of times before it worked. So maybe just keep trying, and make sure the syntax is exactly correct. Not sure what else can be done?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nachochiappe:

I am also having the same issue with my m8. Have attempted to unlock the bootloader about 15 times with a different token id each time, and nothing, its remaining locked. I also get a persistent notification to update to 2.22.1540.3 regardless of how many times I install it. Any ideas?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodhawk:
Same issue with me, but it actually messed up my phone for good -

Ill post the whole issue was it happened -

1. Tried to unlock bootloader using HTC Dev, 3 times. Each time it would successfully take the token and stuff, reset the phone, but the bootloader would still be locked.

I tried this using 3 separate HTC Dev accounts. Same result.

2. Now the 4th time when i did this, the phone went back the RUU firmware mode (but with 4 triangles on the corners).

3. I can boot into the stock ROM, the one the phone came with by using - fastboot oem boot. But i have to do this every time the phone shuts down or has to be restarted.

From my understanding the bootloader, recovery and hboot partitions are corrupt. Best case scenario, only the bootloader. And i cannot flash either of the partitions since im not unlocked nor S-off.

Another issue would be, why was i not able to unlock my bootloader? The first time i thought maybe i made a mistake in copying the the unlock string. But that wasn't it.

If it helps, the phone came with Android 4.4.3 with Hboot 3.18 (2.22.1540.3).

The phone is a 32 GB US Unlocked version. CID - BS_US001 MID - 0P6B12000

And i cannot for the life of me find a RUU for this phone. The phone is just 1 day old.

Any help would be appreciated. I couldn't find anyone with the same 4 triangle issue on the forums.

UPDATE :

Just fixed the bootloader issue by flashing the firmware zip from here :

i tried getting s-off using firewater but it didnt work. i tried it today and i read in the comments from a few days ago and said theyve patched this method. is this so ? and if so is there another thing i could use that works to get s-off for my htc one m8 on sprint. And finally if there is no other working way are the devs of firewater going to be coming out with an update to bypass whatever patch htc sent out THX... Also if you know any method to make it work that works also. My htc is rooted and unlocked bootloader on the custom rom Android Revolution hd its a sense based rom i read and should have worked with the firewater method. Ive followed all directions in everything and its been perfect up until now thank you all for any help.
[General Questions and Answers] DanielxRodriguez:
for anyone reading this or have read it this may sound crazy and im not too good and am new to all this stuff but if i was able to go to a previous version of htc while keeping the root and then s-off (because firewater should work without the htc patch that is said to stop it) THEN upgrade back to 4.4.3 with the phone now s-off while still being able to maintain the root then just flashing on the rom back and restoring all my backups (HTC backup and titanium) :confused: :eek:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] connor815:
I'll try to be as concise as possible.

- Have TWRP custom recovery

- Wanted to replace it with the stock recovery because I was unable to update to 4.4.4

- I was rooted

- Get the not so bright idea of wiping my entire Nexus 7 in hopes of getting rid of TWRP

- Now I have no OS and only TWRP

- Windows 7 does not recognize my Nexus 7 because I only have access to TWRP

The only solution I can think of is getting a male microUSB to female USB 2.0/3.0 adapter and plugging in a flash drive with the Android 4.4.4 ROM on it. Is there a more software oriented solution to this problem that will save me from spending money on an adapter?

I didn't have any important information or irreplaceable information on my Nexus 7 so I'm not worried about that. I'm new to ROMs and custom recoveries (which should be obvious by now), because I'm used to Verizon/Samsung policies.

Anyway, please please help me out guys. I have no idea how to fix this besides the microUSB - USB idea.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
There doesn't appear to be anyone else reporting this yet, so it's probably just your phone. Try restoring your backup to confirm that it is the update and not something else that has changed or corrupted your file association.

Not making backups? Well that isn't a good habit. Try wiping the system cache from recovery mode. If you can see that a certain app tries to play the ogg file, then go to the application manager menu and click on "clear defaults" for that app. Or try using or installing a full featured audio player app and use it to set the ogg file association to an audio player. Or you could do the more drastic step of initializing all user settings by doing a factory data reset.

If all else fails and in the absence of a working backup then start over by writing a full stock, pre-update firmware image with Odin, followed by a factory data reset.
