[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vahnkaiser:
Hi, I've recently (very recently) updated my S3 Mini to 4.4.4. The problem was that everything was just too small, so I installed "textdroid DPI" from Store and increased my DPI from 220 to 520. Why 520? I Don't know, probably "miss-clicked", it was supposed to be 320.

The thing is that I can't revert to the normal numbers and now everything is inaccessible, I already tried to re install/redo the whole process but it remains with 520 DPI.

What can I do?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prototype74:
I think you should first go to recovery system. Download your current ROM again. Then go to format > advanced and format system (NOTE! : DO NOT REBOOT YOUR DEVICE!! Otherwise your phone will be without a OS system). Then go to "install" and install your ROM again.

You'll not lose any data like SMS or apps.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vahnkaiser:
:D Thank you, that worked.

One more question, I don't know if I need to open a new post but, anyway, I have a problem with my Wi-Fi connection/antenna but I can't send it back because the plastic screen has a crack and I would have to pay for a new S3 Mini, literally, just to fix it and get the to see what's wrong with the Wireless.

Anyway, the Wi-Fi is kinda unstable because it can't always connect and when it does, I have to be very close to the router/modem to get full wireless power (3 feet more or less).

Because the device is rooted, maybe I messed up with some settings that I shouldn't. But I don't remember what.

I had the same problem, mate. I just rebooted my Router and the problem was gone :) maybe your Router cause this issue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waxcatharsis:
Hi guys,

I'm having trouble getting into CWM recovery. When I try to boot into if from Rom Manager it gives me an error that says, "System software not authorized by verizon wireless". After filling my pants I figured out how to get past that and boot up my phone, but I don't know what to do from here. Any thoughts?

I'm running stock 4.4.2 Rooted

Thanks!

Retail devices can only use safestrap. Developer editions can use custom recoveries. Sounds like youre on a retail device.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaggy Kobain:
Like my buddy [MENTION=5823642]bmwh0r3[/MENTION] stated, sounds like you're on a Retail device.

Check out this thread by [MENTION=4670411]az_biker[/MENTION] that walks you through all the things you need to know.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waxcatharsis:
Yes I have a retail version rooted using the towelroot method. So I can just install Safestrap and move on from there?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaggy Kobain:
Correct. Make sure you grab SafeStrap 3.75B04 and you will be good to go :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waxcatharsis:
Great, I'll try that! Thanks guys!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waxcatharsis:
Success! Only thing is I still need to do the workaround to boot up my phone(hold down home, volume down and power). Once I do that I'm able to boot into recovery or system. Do I need to remove CWM through some further process or is something else causing that?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmwh0r3:
I would start over. Odin the stock tar and pit files. Root again and follow the instructions in the safestrap thread. Be re device you can only use the touchwiz roms
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waxcatharsis:
I was afraid of that...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Az Biker:
100% agree. Nothing like taking the chance that all is ok, just to get everything set up, issues show their ugly heads, and you end up starting from scratch anyway.

At this point, you're basically at square one, just do it right and save a ton of headaches down the road :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waxcatharsis:
As I mentioned earlier, I used the towelroot method to get root originally. Can you point me towards a thread that has the most current method to gain root on the Note 3?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Afro Samurai:
If you're on NC4, towelroot is the most current.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waxcatharsis:
Great, so to be clear you recommend unrooting and rooting again?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Afro Samurai:
Are you already rooted? Explain fully, are you still trying to use clockwork mod or have you gotten rid of that and trying safestrap?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waxcatharsis:
I have root and safestrap now. I didn't remove CWM I just installed safestrap. It works fine but I am getting an error message that says "system software not authorized" on boot that I have to bypass by pressing volume down, home and power at the same time. It's really a minor inconvenience so I'm not too worried about it but if there's a simple fix I'd like to do that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Afro Samurai:
You really may not want to but it'll be best to start over as there's no telling what kind of problems having clockwork mod on a phone with a locked bootloader might bring down the line. Things may seem okay now with a minor inconvenience but you just never know.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waxcatharsis:
Alright. I can wipe my phone from safestrap but do you know if that will get rid of CWM also?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Az Biker:
You SHOULD be able to perform a FACTORY RESET / WIPE from Android download, that will return your phone to OEM, unrooted (should remove CWM) and all your peronal files.

Then start the process from scratch, the NC4 Root link in my sig has links to the files you need to get back up and running.

This will give you peace of mind that no 'unknowns' are hanging around waiting to surface...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Afro Samurai:
Thanks Biker, I was at a function last night and couldn't get back to him.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mirosaw2:
hello guys ..

how are you all .. ??

hope you fine all ..

i need help get my HTC One 831C S-OFF so i can unlock it ..

i've tried Firewater methods but i got this error ..

whelp, this sucks, firewater can not work on your device
no amount of reflashing, retrying, or ruuing will fix...
DO NOT COME TO IRC ASKING FOR UPDATES OR ETAS!!!!!!
if we are able to fix this issue, it will be announced
bye bye.....sorry it didn't work out.

and i don't know why ..

is it because my bootloader TAMPERED .. !!

or is it because my HBOOT is 3.18 or what .. !!

need help guys ..

thx in advance.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Use SunShine.

http://theroot.ninja/
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mirosaw2:
i know about SunShine ..

but i'm from egypt and can't pay them for now .. possible but have to wait ..

so i'm trying to find another free way like Firewater.

one more thing about SunShine method ..

are they using different exploits from Firewater ?? ..

or they just using a whole new way ??
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
SunShine is an entirely new exploit from the crew that brought us Firewater. Having said that, SunShine is the only exploit you'll be able to use. There is no other exploit available.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mirosaw2:
got it ..

what about official unlock .. can i order unlock for my device by IMEI ??
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] PartimusPrime:
That will not get you S-Off. Unlock from HTC Dev only unlocks your boot loader.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mirosaw2:
i don't ask about unlock bootloader .. bootloader already unlocked via HTCDev ..

i want to know if i can SIM-Unlock the phone via IMEI .. !!

Sorry Vijay for being thick on that one, but did you mean VJKeyPress?

One more thing, google doesn't have a clue about phm keytools; can u point me to some usefull link?

To use the built in button mapper, go to Start Button > Settings > Buttons, click on a button (top window), then in "Button assignment" go right towards the top to <rotate screen>

I highly recommend the PHM stuff tho, for being generally fabulous.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] michelemascia7:
Hi, i applied to the nexus 5 the yellow bumper case (original). Time later, I removed it to clean the device from dust, and I noticed that in the corners of the nexus there were yellow-green spots. Surely the cover is dissolved for the heat ( has been hot in recent months).

I would like to know how to remove these stains, I tried it with alcohol but nothing :/ thanks :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Stackman1:
I can't remember exactly what happened when my beloved S2 died but I do know that it no longer would power up. I always had two batteries and if used equally they could easily have been totally maxed out - although it is hard to believe they would both die at exactly the same time.

So I went on e-bay and bought a new charging port and installed it. I think I did it right. But when I plugged it in with one of those two batteried in the phone - I still get no signs of life from the phone.

Here is what I am wondering - excuse if answer is obvious:

1. If I plug the phone into the wall without a battery and the phone is healthy - should it power up? Or does a battery have to be in the phone for it to function?

Thanks

Peter
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
No, it won't power up into the system without the battery.

However, you can test the phone without the battery in, because it will go into download mode without the battery in because the usb cable will supply the power. So, to test the phone problem is battery related, try to put the phone into download mode with the battery removed. Hold down both volume buttons while you plug in the usb cable, -or- depress all three buttons vol and pwr when the phone is already connected to the computer with the usb cable. If you get no sign of life, then it is probably not a battery issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Stackman1:
Thanks Creepy - unfortunately the download mode option didn't show any life either. Really disappointed. I was secretly counting on the USB charger piece replacement to do the trick. I guess that means that something other than the battery is not functional....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Stackman1:
Dead S2

As discussed, I thought after replacing my usb part and still having no success that my beautiful Shostock S2 was gone for good. I went out and bought a Moto G w/LTE for $220. It is fine but I still liked the feel and particularly the camera of my S2 better. I have fixed so many things these days just by searching YouTube - sure enough - I found a video by this italian guy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhCks3QAjz4

A bit hard to understand but essentially - you test for a short - at on prongs 1 and 3 where battery connect. If you have a short - your next step is to remove a Capacitor. I knocked pulled mine off my board with tweezers. No idea why that works but it Does!

Here is a pic of what I removed. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/108322879/S2%20Capacitor.jpg

Good Luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Interesting. Assuming that the capacitor is positioned between pins 1 and 3, the short would be caused by the failed capacitor, and removing the capacitor removes the short, but makes the capacitance between pins 1 and 3 close to infinite. So evidently the phone functions well enough without the capacitor. It's way beyond my knowledge to even guess why that capacitor is put there in the first place. I guess an engineer could tell us.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] MegaCookie:
So I think have a problem with these noise cancelling earbuds (MDR-NC31E). They didn't came in the box. But since I got them they don't seem to work properly. They get recognized but I don't hear the difference, I can still hear noise on low/ medium volume. I've even read on the internet that they seems to be working fine on the forced on modus without even playing music music, and that doesn't seem to work too. What should I do? Flashing again, or is this hardware related?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coxalexx:
Hello All,

I recently had an accident with my phone and the screen broke into a 1000 pieces but is still together in the mobile.

I am trying to recover the pictures in the internal memory of the S4, and then the insurance will give me an exchange phone.

The problem I am currently having is one that I havnt been able to find on any post on any website, The screen is broke so the touch screen doesnt work, the start button seems to not be working or does work but nothing is shown on the screen or on the LCD light to indicate its on. I am trying to plug the phone into KIES 3, But the phone is not found/recognised so dosnt appear on the screen, I try to press the start button but nothing happens to make it recognise the phone. So seems Kies is a dead end here as it dosnt pick it up, and I also know that USB debugging is not enabled, as I found out by trying to use DR FONE FOR ANDROID, I manage to get to the 2nd option screen but says the USB debugging has to be enabled to work, but without being able to see the screen I cannot enable it. Is there any programme to view the phones screen on the laptop/computer and be able to access the system and enable the USB dbug?

I am currently downloading the ANDROID SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KIT as I read in some post, but will this resolve my problem or am I gonna hit a dead end???

I am hoping that the ROM/software of the computer hasnt broken or got corrupted as then the phone would be dead.....

Can someone please help me asap, as meanwhile I am without any phone till I am able to repair this one.... :(

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] einstein910:
I looked and I found no posts related to this so im sorry if its already been asked/answered.

I was very excited when i found JCsullins's tp toolbox and his great work on new roms and such. I deciede that i wanted to upgrade from my 4.2.2 milaq build to JCsullins's 4.4.4 and give TP toolbox a try at the same time. I have flashed my device plenty of times so I'm familiar with the process and I jumped in (after reading the instructions on the tp toolbox ofcourse) and tried to boot it. It boots fine and looks easy to use and intuitive.........except all i can do is look :( After the tp toolbox booting completes, it is stuck on the "About TPToolbox" option and my vol up/down and home buttons do nothing. I can blank and unblank the screen but nothing else. I do have novacom properly installed and am running the boot script on windows as local admin. Any thoughts? Thanks.

EDIT: I tried it on a different machine and got the same result. Both have 8.1_U1 so i'll try a win7 machine next. In both cases, i used the "universal novacom installer" from google code. Maybe i should hunt down the other one? I couldn't find it before.

EDIT2: Version 41 works fine

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djha53k:
Hi all,

I just completely bricked my One :(

I wanted update my AOKPk to the newer version, but some of the apps always failed... so I decided to wipe One completely and install everything from scratch...

So made backup, took off SIM card and went to the TWRP and did:

- dalvik cache

- system

- data

- internal storage

- cache

and install this:

- aokpk_bacon_kitkat_daily_1409231727.zip

- pa_gapps-modular-pico-4.4.4-20140923-signed.zip

- pa_gapps_playservices-games_update_20140923-signed.zip

but I was not able to download any app from GappStore... I tried all 3 guides I googled, but nothing helped...

So wipe one more time:

- dalvik cache

- system

- data

- internal storage

- cache

+ Factory reset (in TWRP)

+ Format data

Installed:

- aokpk_bacon_kitkat_daily_1409231727.zip

- pa_gapps-modular-pico-4.4.4-20140923-signed.zip

- pa_gapps_playservices-games_update_20140923-signed.zip

and then when One boot up to "Welcome ... set your language" it reset... and boot again to Welcome... and reset... never ending reset loop...

So wipe One again:

- dalvik cache

- system

- data

- internal storage

- cache

+ Factory reset (in TWRP)

and install SlimKat:

- Slim-bacon-4.4.4.build.8.0-WEEKLY-6972.zip

- Slim_mini_gapps.BETA.4.4.4.build.8.x-289.zip

and again when One boot up to "Welcome ... set your language" it reset... and boot again to Welcome... and reset... never ending reset loop...

So wipe One again:

- dalvik cache

- system

- data

- internal storage

- cache

And went to the fastboot and tried to insert boot.img there... but...

d:\aaa>fastboot flash boot boot.img

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

sending 'boot' (5560 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.170s]

writing 'boot'...

FAILED (remote: Device not unlocked cannot flash or erase)

finished. total time: 0.180s

The "Device not unlocked" was quite surprise, as I already had CM11s > CM11 > SlimKat > AOKPk and all of them works OK

So I ran command:

d:\aaa>fastboot oem unlock

...

OKAY [ -0.000s]

finished. total time: -0.000s

but One restarted to the TWRP only... and when I went back to the fastboot I ended up with same "Device not unlocked" message :(

So, now I have One with CM11s (cm-11-20140924-NIGHTLY-bacon.zip) installed via TWPR, but once it boot up and Welcome screen with languages appeared it reset and boot up and reset and .... :crying:

Please please please help...
