Thanks for the reply.

I did as you suggested and locked the bootloader using 'fastboot oem lock' followed by a reboot of the phone - I checked and the bootloader state was now locked. I tried to unlock it using 'fastboot oem unlock' and it was also successful - the boot loader was in unlocked state following a reboot. Does this mean that I am lucky and the phone can be recovered, or am I still screwed?

Any suggestions where I should go from here? There was the thought of formatting the eMMC, but for one I have no clue how to do that and second, there was a mention on another site that formatting the eMMC is an absolute NO, NO.

Would the following commands have any effect or are these the same as formatting the cache and data partitions using clockwork mod?

fastboot format cache

fastboot format userdata

At this point any help will be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgnex:
I suggest flashing the Factory image via fastboot and see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taz1973:
Do you mean to get the latest 4.3 image from Google and flash that or are you saying to get a factory image from Samsung flash that? I read some stuff about ODIN, but I am not quite sure what that means, except that in conjunction with ODIN they mention factory images from the phone manufaturer. Is there a set of instructions that you can provide and a link to where I can get the factory image?

Note that one thing that I already did was to flash with the latest 4.3 release from Google for this phone (Maguro), and obviously that did not help, nor did a flash using the latest Cyanogen image.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgnex:
How did you flash the latest 4.3 release and which one did you use?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taz1973:
I downloaded the image directly from Google at the following link:

https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/yakju-jwr66y-factory-09207065.tgz

and then I unzipped it and used 'fastboot -w flashall' to flash the phone. As I said before, this still did not get me out of the boot loop. That is when I cam across ODIN.

Any suggestions on where I should go from here?

Thanks.

Hi everyone.

Looks like we have met the infamous eMMC brickbug affecting Samsung phones and others.

After many searchings I found the explanation on an italian forum (http://www.androidiani.com/forum/go...continuo-bloccato-allavvio-emmc-brickbug.html, the user wrote this guide after several posts on the topic, it's in italian, try to use google translate cause I'm too lazy to translate it). Long story made short: many phones, especially from Samsung but not only, have defective chips (fstrim bug was connected) and many things (factory reset, going over 70% occupied memory, and others), shorten the eMMC life until finally frying it. At the beginning Samsung was even refusing assistance under warranty cause the chip looks oxidated and they said the phone was put into water, then after many similar complaints they started repairing them.

That user on the italian forum gathered the info after reading a lot on forums about it, but I wasn't able to find such a comprehensive description in english. A short explanation is here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/EMMC_Bugs.

What to say, on my side I'm blacklisting Samsung, this phone has been a joke for me since the beginning (the fstrim bug has been a nightmare), if you dare you can try to replace the board.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taz1973:
So basically - the phone is dead and there is nothing short of replacing components on the phone (circuit boards, chips, etc) that will bring it back to life?

[General Questions and Answers] Mokiwipeout:
Basically what the title says, I was wondering if there is an app (or xposed module) that allows me to trick an app into thinking that the device is a tablet...

If anyone is asking why would I want an app like this, I mainly want this because of spotify... I cannot stand listening to certain songs, but I cannot skip them because I don't want to pay 5 € a month for something I can have for free...

If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it
[General Questions and Answers] Sami Kabir:
You could try the Xposed module App Settings to set a custom DPI for Spotify app. If you do it right, then the app should think that it's running on a tablet and hopefully it'll use a tablet UI.

Never mind, the solution to the problem is tabletmetrics...

Just enable it on xposed, reboot and poof! I can listen to whatever I please

HELP!

I have just installed the above on my XDAii.

Nearly everything works fine BUT I cannot get it to work on a seven digit uk postcode!

I have had a look at various threads on the forums and have tried putting the Greta_britian.postal file into the ZIP folder on my SD card and creating a folder named TOMTOM on the root of my SD card but it still does not give me a chance to enter a full seven digit postcode only the first three digits i.e. NG2.

Any ideas please

Put the zip folder in program files/navigator and they will work. Took me a little messing to work it out, but also you may find that tomtom6 is a little heavy for the xda2 and will keep freezing requiring hard reset every time. Go to version 5.21

if you have bluetooth folders enabled, tomtom can't see the "ZIP" postcode folder on the storage card or the VOICES folder on the storage card. You can either copy the "ZIP" folder into the Navigator folder in main memory or you can disable Bluetooth Folders (start, settings connections, bluetooth, ftp)

We all know Tibu, Rom Toolbox, Nandroid Manager, Tasker, etc. Long story short, my Google Play balance expires in a week, and it got me to thinking. There's nothing I really need that I don't have.. or is there? What are some of your go-to apps, whether they be apps or Xposed modules, that don't have millions of downloads and make everyone's list? I personally use Unbounce, a free Xposed module to regulate wakelocks with a donation that unlocks premium features. Be them paid or free apps, I'm curious as to what I, and likely a good chunk of the XDA community might be missing out on. What are some lesser known apps you guys use that deserve some attention?

Out of pure curiosity how do i go about compiling C for Chromecast?

I know this is not the way to develop a Chromecast app, im interested the embedded platform.

There seems to be many finicky methods to cross compile for ARMv7, however i don't want to lead myself down a rabbit hole only to learn i took the wrong approach.

Any pointers would be appreciated ?.

Yo!

I hope im posting this in the right thread. Im experiencing bad battery drainage. I will charge my phone at least 3 times a day. Once fully charged it will last usually 2 hours if im on it off and on. Until it hits 30% then it will turn my radio off, and i will have no connection. So i restart my phone and it will come back on with 2%! UGH! Ive tried conditioning my battery by draining completely and charging completely. Maybe its a lemon, i dunno. So has anyone out there experienced this same issue?

Thank you for any info i can get!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
What ROM are you using? Stock or custom kernel? If custom kernel which one?

Mostly sounds like a bad battery to me. This has been showing up more often over the past couple of months. This device has gotten up in age and the batteries are giving out. Even users who have only had the device for a few months have seen this happening. While the purchase of the device maybe recent there is a good chance it has been sitting around at the store or a warehouse for a while.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] B-noob:
Nope this is just a stock phone for the moment. So nothing special about this phone.

Yeah that what I though too. This phone is 2 years old and so is the battery. Time to root it and buy a new battery. Thanx for the incite!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
If you want to save a few steps I suggest skipping rooting. Just Odin a custom recovery then flash a custom ROM. All custom ROMs are rooted already so the only reason you would need to root is if you plan on sticking with the stock ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] B-noob:
Thanx! I've never heard of that before so maybe I'll give it a shot!

I got my hands on a custom rom with following specs

I am trying to port this rom. I successfully managed to boot it and everything else seems to work fine. The problem is that startup logo comes fine, the boot logo doesnt show up but i can hear the boot sound. The rom gets booted to home screen but the screen doesnt show up, if i long press the power button or home button, i can see everything in the display till the reboot menu or task manager screen stays on screen, i can navigate through options as touch works fine, but the display isnt coming up normally. I have no clue, as if its related to drivers than screen shouldnt show up at all. Please suggest what needs to be done.
