Well yeah :D

Anyway...I decided to move on. After searching for a while, I discovered that you can retrieve lost files, but only those which were on the external sd card, which was fine for me. SO IF ANYONE ELSE LOST HIS/HER DATA ON THE INTERNAL STORAGE, DON'T EVEN BOTHER WITH RECOVERY PROGRAMS, THEY ONLY WORK FOR THE SD CARD. TRUST ME, I TRIED ALMOST EACH ONE OF THEM.

I downloaded all the songs/games I had before.., but I cared about my pictures videos much more than my game's progress :(

I flashed the good old 12.1.A.1.205 ftf and it works just fine...

It's a shame you can't install custom roms in this phone without having the screen flickering all the time when u flash a custom kernel...

Thanks for the help guys :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stump909:
My phone (S3,CM11) randomly crashed and started bootlooping. Typically I just remove the battery, put it back in, and I'm good to go. This time however it didn't work. I'm able to get into recovery, after about 10 or so battery removals, but its clear CWM isn't how it used to be. I think it may be corrupt. The big give away is that the power button is no longer listed, or serves, as the 'enter' function. I can flash zips, and I tried re-installing the ROM, but the boot loops continue. I tried reinstalling my backup, but the MD5 sums didnt match. All solutions to fix that issue requires that I connect my phone to a computer and delete the MD5 sums, which I can't do since the phone wont boot. All my backups are poorly stored on the internal sdcard.

I'm hoping if I can re-install CWM in CWM, that I would be able to reinstall my ROM to a state I can turn the phone on. Is there another way to repair the boot file?

What are my options? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Did you rename the backups after you made them?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stump909:
Nope. Still the default name.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
OK.

Go look for philz touch recovery in the development section. Click on his main thread link and scroll down to the unified s3 builds, download and flash the latest one in recovery, or Odin flash the .tar file if you can't get into recovery.

Setup is almost the exact same as cwm just a few more features. Try to restore the backup as normal. If it still doesn't work, go into factory reset and select the "wipe before new rom option", then flash your rom immediately afterwards.

If that still doesn't work, dig around the settings until you find the option for ignoring md5 sum check, then it will definitely let you install the backup. Just understand that there's a risk associated with doing that. If something is corrupted it could theoretically hard brick your phone, but if everything is still OK and all your backups are giving you the same issue then everything is probably fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stump909:
I appreciate the help, and the solution seemed like a homerun, but sadly things are worse. After successfully flashing the zip, the phone is now in a permanent bootloop trying to reach recovery. Now if I could only find a way to recover the data on the internal storage card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Last thing I can think of is you have a stuck power button that's giving you issues, look at YouTube videos to try to fix it then try it again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stump909:
Wow, after reading up on the symptoms, that sounds like my problem. It also explains why I couldn't use that button to execute commands in recovery. Unfortunately this puts me in a bad situation. Since I tried to factory reset, and it crashed, I'm worried my install is corrupt now. I do have a backup from before the reset, but its labeled 01-01-1970. Surely that can't be good.

All I want to save at this point are my photos (some of which are more recent than my August backup). Would it be safe to restore my August backup and advanced restore the data from my most recent backup (01-01-1970)? Even if it's buggy, as long as I can transfer my photos to my external card I'd be happy. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
CWM doesn't input the proper date when you make backups. It has always defaulted to 1970 on the S3. TWRP does and I believe PhilZ recovery does as well allow you to post the proper date. Just make sure you have a total of 1+ GB file in your CWM folder. If you can pull that folder onto your computer (if its on an sd card) just right click the folder and check the date when it was created.

Edit: and as [MENTION=5181150]BadUsername[/MENTION] wrote, youtube videos may help out. I had a stuck power button and this clip helped me. It has been almost 11 months since I did this and I have been fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stump909:
Thanks for the input. While I don't doubt you, every backup I've made has had the proper date as it's title (except for this one). Thanks for the video link!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Oh, they have the dates now? Hmm, wasn't like that for the first year on the S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stump909:
Yeah I didn't get the phone util the S4 was out and they've all had dates. Should I be worried in that case?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Idk if you want to try since none of the other backups worked. How many total CWM backups do you have? Is there an accompanying "BLOBS" folder as well? Or did they get rid of that too or are CWM backups now self contained? Over a year ago, there was a Blobs folder and folder of your backups.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stump909:
I have two. One marked 8-8-2014 and one 1-1-1970 (newest). I haven't looked at how they are stored in a while, but I remember it was multiple folders within folders taking up almost 2 gigs of space. As I stated, at this point if I could salvage my photos that would be enough.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
I think the backup is still good, you can probably salvage photos pretty easily with ADB if you have USB debugging enabled. I still think that fixing your power button will fix your problems and you'll be able to restore a backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
I actually just checked my backups, I'm using philz latest but my backup has the correct date and I didn't have to manually input the date from within philz settings. There is also no more blobs folder. I think recently cwm redid their entire backup system, it's definitely different than it used to be. Has to be a fairly recent change though.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _alexndr:
This thread is for those who use 100% stock ROM (just rooted) and for various reasons do not want to install Xposed framework (due to a potential decrease of stability and/or loss of some features, e.g. Private Mode).

Few people know that the call recording is built-in feature on Samsung Galaxy S5 (stock ROM) - it's just hidden feature (INFO) :D

To activate it - you need to edit /system/csc/feature.xml file (if exists, otherwise you need to edit /system/csc/others.xml file). Just add the following line (anywhere, but BETWEEN <FeatureSet> and </FeatureSet> lines):

<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAllowed</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>

I have created a script to apply this modification as simple as possible and put it into MOP/CWM/TWRP flashable zip file. It performs these changes automatically in the proper xml file. In case of International variants of Galaxy S5 (G900F/G900H) /system/csc/feature.xml file usually does not exists. Script checks if exists /system/csc/feature.xml file and edit it if so, otherwise script performs necessary changes in /system/csc/other.xml

Requirements:

- a rooted Samsung Galaxy S5 device

- Mobile Odin PRO or custom recovery CWM/TWRP or Linux compatible text editor

Download link:

>> CR_enable_alexndr.zip <<

Installation methods:

1. Custom recovery CWM/TWRP (KNOX 0x1) - open *.zip file using "Install Zip" option and confirm "Yes - install..."

2. FlashFire (requires root) - open *.zip file using "Flash ZIP or OTA" option. Do not enable "Everroot"! Push "FLASH". This type of installation let you keep KNOX 0x0 if you still kept this flag (thanks to Towerloot and updating ROMs via FlashFire only).

3. Edit feature.xml file (if exists, otherwise others.xml) and add above line manually (requires a bit of experience). You can do it directly on your phone using e.g. Root Explorer's built-in text editor. In Windows I recommend you to use Notepad++ editor, because it supports Linux text format (LF). Restart your phone for the changes to take effect.

Note:

The recordings are saved in /Sounds (internal emulated SD)

Hit Thanks button if you like my work :)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] juDGEY2k10:
Nice one, can u make others or make an option to install the other hidden codes? (if there is any)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _alexndr:
There are hundreds, maybe even thousands of codes by which Samsung controls certain features depending on the region, country, service provider etc. Some of these codes are well known, some less, but much is not known yet.

I will leave them for users who like to experiment by adding such CscFeature lines manually ;)

I do not have enough time to expand this thread and build extended scrips and/or multi-feature installers (like Aroma)

Use Google to search, below is just an example:

Enable Call Recording on Your Samsung Galaxy S5

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] endwhysee.bk:
Quick question I trying to enable this but where do but the code at I know u said between <FeatureSet> n </FeatureSet>. But where exactly should it go. Thats a big section. .lol.. should i put it around or under call features between those <FeatureSet> open and end tags u spoke of.??.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] endwhysee.bk:
Okay tried and this what I get.the icon is there but when hit it n dont do nothing. . am I doing something wrong. ?? Can you help I really want n need this feature.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _alexndr:
It doesn't matter :)

It is only important that you put it anywhere between <FeatureSet> and </FeatureSet>

I know - in some firmwares Samsung has ordered CscFeature entries in section like:

<!-- Message -->
<!-- Contacts -->
<!-- Call -->

...etc, but it's a visual step only (it will be easier to find a specific entry).

Entries such as <!-- text_tag_or_whatever --> does nothing :)

Record button will be active during call ;) When dialing it is inactive - it's quite normal ;)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] endwhysee.bk:
No it did nothing in call as well nothing at all I tried different ways. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] juDGEY2k10:

Hi,

I am using samsung galaxy note GT-N7000. I am on stock rom(only rooted). I went through /system/csc/others.xml and edited it using notepad.

I am attaching it for you. Please see if anything is wrong and suggest accordingly.

I really need this feature on my phone. Kindly help.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _alexndr:
I just noticed on your screenshot, that you are using bluetooth...

Unfortunatelly, built-in call recording feature does not support calls via bluetooth :(

If you really need this feature including bluetooth calls - take a look here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder&hl=pl

This is a paid app, but here is trial version:

It works great via bluetooth :)

You edited others.xml file correctly, but unfortunately this entry does not work on devices older than the Galaxy S5. Even on Note 3 does not work (call recording works, but it is necessary to modify smali code and re-compile apk)...
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] southsidexz:

Will it work on the Note 4?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ThePeacedog:
Thank you. Works fine on the Ntelos version of the S5 SM-G900R7. The file /system/csc/feature.xml exists on this model and editing this file worked after a reboot. I went ahead and added it as a new section between

<!-- Message -->

and

<!-- Contacts --> like so:

<!-- VoiceCall -->
<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAllowed</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>

I added it that way so I may be able to remember what I did in the future if I choose to undo it later. ;)

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] PIRATA!:
Hi! I'm new in this S5 world and would like to know something about this as I have always used Xposed framework on Samsung devices.

What do you mean when you say "due to a potential decrease of stability and/or loss of some features, e.g. Private Mode" ??

What stability issues?

What feature is "Private Mode"?

Will it be active only adding the line you say? I was thinking that is a simple work, so maybe it's good for me to simply edit that file and that's it.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _alexndr:
Installing xposed framework and/or changing settings in xposed modules could potentially cause a bootloop, right?. It does not matter for someboby who has SGS5 mainly for fun, playing games, surfing, talking with family / friends. For those who use S5 mainly for bussiness it is important not to install anything that could make the phone useless (even for a while, but at the most unfortunate time)

Some things have changed since I wrote this guide so dilemmas has gone :) At this moment (using Lollipop) there is no possibility to use Xposed Framework at all, so using this quide is the only way to activate built-in Call recording feature :o

You're kidding, right? ;)

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Hippie459MN:
Yes, just add that line to said file and reboot and it will show up when in a call. One thing, it will not work if you are using a bluetooth headset. I personally us Call Recorder in the Play Store (On here somewhere too) and that will also record while using buletooth. But yes, I can confirm that this does work.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] zeoran:
I just wanted to thank you for this.

I wound up doing it manually because I didn't want to pay for Mobile Odin and I don't have CWM recovery installed, but this is a feature I have wanted since I first had my Epic4G and then my S3 and I finally have it and it works!

I wish I had found your post first, I found another site first instead which had me installing some special program and then framework and a twc module, and it all made me uncomfortable. Then I found your post and I hope I was able to uninstall the other stuff successfully as I didn't want to install it really to begin with.

Again, thank you SO MUCH for this. It was really easy.
