Hey Everybody,

I'm new to the whole rooting process, which I did fine on Saturday the 4th of October 2014. Today (October 8th 2014) I tried to install Cyanogen using the installer, it said it worked, but when my phone rebooted it was in the original version of touchwhiz that came with my Galaxy S3 SGH-I747 Rogers version. I wanted to get my files back, so I went into CWM and tried to recover, which didn't work. I tried again and again and it finally loaded my apps, but I had no service and I was spammed with "failure to load .gapps.google" or something like that. I went into CWM and wiped cache, tried again, same issue. I then wiped everything, went back into it and it still was NOT working. What do I do? I have no service at all!

EDIT: REALIZED THIS IS WRONG FORUM. (SORRY IM NEW) I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO TO DELETE IT SO IF AN ADMIN CAN, THANKS

Hy. I have a razr Maxx XT910. Today I tried to restore a backup of a partition that I made with safestrap to my stock partition. After restoring was finished, I reboot my phone and it will not start anymore. I can not go into recovery, the only thing that it does is: if I long press power button the red Motorola logo appears for 5 sec. and the the phone does nothing, it shows like it is turned off.

Any suggestions?

I tried volume up + power, volume down + power, volume up+volume down+power but no luck. I do not have any more buttons to push :(.

Edit1: I manage to connect my phone to rsd light (with my screen still off) and when I tried to flash a sw I get an error 'The phone failed to switch to fastboot mode' - result 'FAIL'.

I have no idea what to do next.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Decon1:
Woops! You have the XT910....post removed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
I think that utility is only for the XT912.

It could have failed if the battery was low. Try charging it in a wall socket if this is the case - there is usually a small window in which it will take a charge.

I can only think of going the rsd lite route and flashing JB to start over.

Please let us know.

I charged my phone ( I think). I left it in a wall socket for more then 3h, and it only got hot. The display still would't turn on, just the moto logo for about 10 sec, and then nothing.

In rsd light I have the same error. (pic.1)

I noticed that the screen of the phone wasn't completed black, like a turn off phone. When in the room was dark the display of the phone has a slight glow of dark-light color, but still no text on the display .
[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
Hold vol- and power button untill you see a horizontal line for a moment,like crt animation,that means that your phone is off. After that immediately press vol-,vol+ and power button to get in to the boot menu and choose AP Fastboot...

[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Yes, you'll have to try getting it into fastboot like [MENTION=5057697]welder73[/MENTION] has explained.

I was in a similar situation and the screen also looked off but it really wasn't. I couldn't get the phone to turn off at all, it kept turning itself on and all I got was a logo. Battery went low but I got it into fastboot. But rsd lite failed. Charged it in wall socket, I actually managed to see a charging icon on the screen (it was not centered but it did show up). Connecting through USB did not give me this result. Once it was at 40% I took it off charge and crossed fingers...rsd lite then flashed the phone.

Keep trying with the charger also to be sure. Try with different key presses (like pow+vol-) and see if it picks up any charge. Because if the phone isn't really off, your battery could be draining.

Thanks guys for the help. I manage to go into fastboot mode and from there I flashed a sw with rsd light and everything went perfect. Now I reroted my phone and flashed a custom rom. Everything is back to normal.

Thanks again!

Are you seeing the finish chipping a lot? I really like the sleek look of the black over the stone but fear it'll chip from what some reviewers are saying.

I've already ordered the Black through Moto this morning and should be here by next week, however just about every BestBuy around me had the Silver in stock. Not only am I torn now, but I'm also pressed for time (trying to cancel my Moto order if necessary).

Anyways any and all help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nicotheandroidguy:
Since HTC just announced the Desire EYE with 4.4.4, and HTC said the M8 would get an update for to get the new camera software. It would make sense for HTC to give us the new camera software, and VoLTE in a 4.4.4 update.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] DangerousDave:
OR HTC could just release an updated camera app to the play store like they have for some of their other apps such as dotview, blinkfeed, gallery and others. My money says they will take this approach. :o

It seems like they would, I am just hoping VoLTE comes soon because I want to stop using CDMA.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggrie:
Ok, so I think I've figured this out.

I'm on a T-Mobile note 3 running darthstalker 7,

I started getting this pop up about a week or 2 ago. Initially it would only happen upon enabling or disabling GPS.

Once I started trouble shooting it started happening much more frequently, and began to include a pop-up about location services.

I used titanium to roll back to a previous version of google play services and it seemed to stop. Then it auto updated and here come the pop ups.

I took a previous poster's advice and disabled the location confirmation module in xposed.

Then I restored an older version of google play services from titanium back up.

I let it auto update, upon update I got a notification [with the triangle exclamation point icon] about the service needing my permission.

Once I clicked the notification, yet another pop-up, but this one was different. It was Google play services asking for permission to allow apps access to my location. The interesting bit is that there was a check box for "do not ask me this again" which I checked.

Since I did this, no more force closes on Google play services or location.

Hoping someone else can confirm this works for them.

Hope this helps, hit thanks if it does.

Guys, I'm losing my mind over their wake and battery use. I'm on Slim 8.0 and franco r63 and already done the following:

Yeah, so I've turned OFF 'wake' in privacy manager, I've cancelled 'wake' permission in Android Tuner, I've disabled ads / location activity, and turned off sync and STILL I get ~40% drain from stinking GOOGLE SERVICES!!

Last night was last straw of me, so I wiped / reflashed SLIM 8.0 and franco kernel r63, set max CPU to ~1450, max GPU to ~380, downvolt ~25ma and waiting to see result.

WHY are google services such a PITA when it comes to WAKE and BATTERY USE when I've obviously disabled their ability to both WAKE and COMMUNICATE?

It's driven me absolutely BATTY. My wife's S4 has the same issue and I'm about to be DONE with all Google crap on her phone also.

I've google the issues and they are THOUSANDS of reports of similar problems.

If ANYBODY has a better idea I'd really appreciate it. Different ROM, different kernel, ANYTHING.

Make sure to not disable GPS, doing so for some reason will have that process constantly scan for location and keeping your device awake.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jabbermacy:
Never heard of the 'GPS on' trick, but I checked location and no apps have requested location.

I tried to load a 'mini Gapps' package for SLIM but it's same story, device NEVER sleeps. No sync, no location, disabled 'wake' for the services, everything... glad I backed up the system with NO Gapps because I'll likely be restoring...

Really, really, really pathetic that SO many people have this program. What the hell is wrong with google??
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whodisname:
Im convinced google play services is nsa spyware. Anyone care to prove me wrong? I would feel bette if you could. I have uninstalled it several times and it WILL NOT GO AWAY. And it uses more permissions than any other app I have. It will not stop running. It behaves like a virus in my opinion. Am I just a conspiracy nut?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
1. Google uses it for things like Analytics

2. Most apps depend on it as a framework to do things, hence the permissions

3. It updates in the background automatically

4. This is Android. Android means Google.

5. If you don't like that, switch to using the Amazon app store, or buy a crappy iOS device.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whodisname:
Well, I just removed it (it was a pita due to no recovery on phone so i gotta be delicate!) and maps still works. Thats the one app I cant live without. I havent checked everything yet but nothing I have used thus far seems affected. Used TB to remove market links.I use an alternate app store already. My phone runs MUCH faster. I will never own a crappy Iphone device!!!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] dyandell:
I read somewhere a few months ago that this is caused by your Google contacts just having like a phone number or something for a contact. I remember the person that posted said he download his contacts in excel or something, went through them and made sure every contact had a name, uploaded them back and it fixed the problem. That does not make a lot of sense to me because I used to have that problem every once in awhile. I did not do anything about it but I have not run into that in a long time. I may have just been lucky. FWIW. Good luck.

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] towelie:
Hi all,

Firstly I would like to thank the moderators for providing such a great site.

Secondly I am hoping someone can give a real answer to my question.

I have an XDA Orbit phone with German (GER) ROM v1.25.207.1. I would simply like to change this ROM to an English (ENG) version, keeping all the same features I have (eg WIFI, GPS), just using the english language.

I have seen many posts about upgrading the ROM to a generic one, which as I understand it means I have to goto imeicheck.co.uk to purchase an unlock code. This then allows me to load a non-orbit ROM onto the orbit (eg generic Artemis ROM)

What I would like to do however is load an ENGLISH Orbit ROM onto my GERMAN orbit. I don't think I need to do the imeicheck.co.uk routine to load an Orbit ROM.

The problem I have is that I cannot find an english ROM for the orbit on any sites?. I am wondering firstly if anyone knows where I can download an english ROM for the Orbit. Secondly if no one has an english ROM, does anyone know if it is possible to dump the english ROM off an existing english handset if I find one?.

I am happy to upload this ROM for all the other users of the site. I think this is a common problem but very difficult to find a straight answer of what my options are to get english language on this device.

Thanks, Towelie.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] fdp24:
rom location

tovelie:

try to use local ftp server to get required ROM.

_ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com

it is in /Artemis/Shipped_Complete_Updates foder.

the ROM you are looking for is:

ARTE_DOPODAU_12570702_026990_WWE_SHIP.exe

there are few remarks. it is unlikely you will be able to re-flash your device, if it is not already CID unlocked.

CID unlock is available from imei-check.com.

please keep in mind that even with CID unlocked device there are problems discovered on Orbit, it still does not flash with another ROM.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] towelie:
hi fdp24,

thanks for your reply.

I assume from this you are saying that I can load the dopod firmware on the above ftp if I CID unlock, but if I do this there are problems with this firmware and the orbit anyway?

my understanding is that the CID unlock basically stops the phone checking the "vendor id" of the firmware (ROM) so you can load a generic firmware on it instead. I am hoping I can get an orbit firmware so I can just load it without the need for CID.

from further reading it would seem it may not be possible to dump the firmware/ROM from the handset as the commands to do this are now protected with a password?

Does anyone at all have an english firmware specifically for orbit? Is it possible to download this from o2?.

Thanks, Towelie.

I've tried pulling the SIM and putting it back, but no success. Please HELP!

EDIT: I flashed stock ROM using ODIN, which worked. I would still like to know why CWM didn't work though, and if it is still possible to try to get it to work
[General Questions and Answers] lasttimelord12:
Anybody?
[General Questions and Answers] ishaang:
I'm a beginner myself, and i do not know much about installing custom roms on samsung phones, but maybe you did not flash a compatible custom kernel to support the custom rom? it seems like you did not flash gapps either, but that should not stop you from getting network service. my last guess would be that you need to also install a baseband perhaps. all this information should be there in the galaxy s3 section of the forums.
[General Questions and Answers] lasttimelord12:
Hey there, first off, thank you for replying.

I didn't manually use odin or other flashing software to flash the ROM. Unlike the rooting method (which went smoothly) I used the cyanogen mod installer. The installer itself said that cyanogen was installed successfully, but it was not. After it said this, my screen (on the phone) turned off, and I was brought to a fresh install of touchwhiz. I've actually fixed the networking issue by flashing touchwhiz stock,but that still doesn't explain why my CWM backup wasn't working.
[General Questions and Answers] ishaang:
I see...I haven't used the cyanogen mod installer myself so cannot say...

What I suggest is that, if you're up for trying again, to manually flash a rom - either Cyanogenmod or any other. There seem to be a lot of good roms available for your phone, and whichever rom you choose will come with instructions for how to install. The usual method will involve the following steps as far as I know:

- Root

- Unlock Bootloader

- Flash Custom Kernel with recovery

- Flash ROM

- Flash GAPPS

These steps are not difficult at all as long as you follow the instructions for your specific phone. I have a Sony Xperia SL and thats how I installed a custom rom on it many times. Sorry I could not help much not knowing Samsung procedures but good luck!
[General Questions and Answers] Killwish:
OK,

Download stock ROM for your device from Samsung-updates.com according to device model and region.

Then flash it with Odin.

Good luck
