Hi!

Thanks you. I don't find a custom rom, but finding a solution to do a rom with ebi.bin because I don't find stock rom. Or finding a solution to repair this phone. :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mrt19872:
Not having a single problem with it charging, just surprised you can easily move the cable when plugged in from left to right or up or down, tried 4 different cables, all the same, is this just normal for micro USB to prevent it from being broken by a yank? Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] trant01:
Same thing for me as well. Doesn't really bother me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Rob Irizarry:
I noticed it immediately but I'm trying to ignore it. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mrt19872:
Alright so apparently it is normal? Just bothers me as on my Note 2 I eventually had to end up wrapping the charging cord around the phone to hold the charging cord in the port otherwise it wouldn't charge at all (port got SUPER loose), and didn't want that to happen again.

I guess maybe there is "play" in it so that if someone does yank the cord it doesn't just snap off inside, but I have no idea, glad to know I'm not alone though and apparently it is the norm for the Note 4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mrt19872:
Doh, just noticed we can always use the warranty @ AT&T stores to exchange\swap out for up to an entire year, I was paranoid as I thought I only had 14 days and after that it was in Samsungs hands (people that have to deal with Samsung's support seem to end up very unhappy) so I'm far less stressed about it now. I still am considering a Squaretrade warranty, anyone here used them? I keep hearing good things but wasn't sure if they are worth it, but most people seem to get a new phone even if water damaged\broken with 2 days. Anyone here have experience with Squaretrade?

Hi there,

Is it possible to install custom roms available here to the japanese version of the z1 compact?

I have seen a thread that users have been swapping the back panel from the jap version of the phone. I was thinking to ease the hassle of opening it why not buy the japanese one if you have access of getting it.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dujinga:
Last Friday I tried to flash android 5 lolipop to my Nexus 5. It froze in the erasing part.

Eventualy switched the phone off and on. There was a loop where you could only see the droid, even in recovery mode.

I got around that loop by flashing TWRP to the recovery partition.

Al recovery ROM's however all state that they can't mount /cache.

I formatted the hell out of it but sadly it didn't solve the problem.

So using adb shell I removed the cache partition, recreated it and formatted it.

So here is my partition table:

Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 524kB 67.6MB 67.1MB fat16 modem
2 67.6MB 68.7MB 1049kB sbl1

28 2032MB 15.8GB 13.7GB ext4 userdata
29 15.8GB 15.8GB 5632B grow

Notice the missing ext4 for partition 27. After deleting and recreating the partition I formatted it with the following command:

mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p27

this resulted in:

mke2fs 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)
Filesystem label=

Superblock backups stored on blocks:

Writing inode tables: done
Creating journal (4096 blocks): done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 29 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override

So at this point I wanted to check the my partition table again, but this time i got an error message:

Error: /dev/block/mmcblk0: unrecognised disk label

Mounting results in:

mount /cache
mount: mounting /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache on /cache failed: Invalid argument

Did I make any mistakes here? I did not rooted the phone (yet). Is this necessary?

The re partitioning part comes from a guide here originally for the kindle.

Current status is that I re flashed stock droid 4.4.4. It starts, but all Google applications crash and I have no cellular network .

Guess they all depend on the cache directory.

Any help on making the cache partition work again would be much appreciated!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Oh jeez. I guess by now you know what you've done wrong. In case you don't, you should have just flashed the stock cache.img via fastboot as the very first step.

When you say you flashed stock, how?

What is the output of fastboot flash cache cache.img?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dujinga:
My bad! I should have mentioned that I had tried all the basic steps.

So I flashed the original cache.img many times. Because some say it takes more then 1 try to fix a corrupt cache.

Also tried a manual erase and a format of the cache partition.

Flashing the cache is somewhat strange, I have 2 variants. One is done in a heartbeat saying everything went well:

D:\Downloads\hammerhead 4.4.4\image-hammerhead-ktu84p>fastboot flash cache cache.img
erasing 'cache'...
OKAY [ 0.511s]
sending 'cache' (13348 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.627s]
writing 'cache'...
OKAY [ 1.026s]
finished. total time: 2.169s

And then if I run it again it gets stuck at erasing:

D:\Downloads\hammerhead 4.4.4\image-hammerhead-ktu84p>fastboot flash cache cache.img
erasing 'cache'...

I once left it overnight but the following morning it was still erasing...

All the time the result is the same. A phone with crashing apps and no cellular network.

To answer your other question. I used fastboot to do a flash-all from the stock image from Google (image-hammerhead-ktu84p (4.4.4)).

Also did the manual version where I manual erase the partitions and flash them.

After this I get a working 4.4.4 with the exception that all Google apps crash (including Play etc, so the basic needs) and I have no cellular network.

Resulting in a useless phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The first output looks normal. Try and get it to that stage again so there is a successful flash, then try And fix persist partition as that has similar symptoms. Guide linked in my signature
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dujinga:
Thank you so much for your reply.

I followed this guide.

The repair did nothing so I entered:

make_ext4fs /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist

Since my dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name directory was empty is also did that same command for the cache:

make_ext4fs /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache

initially that looked like a good thing. The mounting error's where gone after i rebooted the phone.

But things took a turn for the worst. Where before i had a 50% chance on failing to erase the cache. I now have gained a 50% chance to fail at the writing stage.

Resulting in the device not being flash-able because there is more than one part that needs to be flashed.

Also, Philz is not usable. Although flashing states successful, It just won't boot into it. TWRP is the only thing that still works.

Did I do this myself by creating that cache bit? Or is corruption more likely?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Its hard to say. But I think it needs a professional repair now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dujinga:
I'm afraid you are right.

From what I'm reading on the internet, I'm very unfortunate. It seems that in almost all cases you can recover from a flash that has gone south.

Anyway, I'll give it one or two more tries and if it fails I will look if I can claim it under warranty.

Can you answer one more question. Was it a mistake to enter:

make_ext4fs /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache

Could this break things even further?

Thank you for all your help. It is much appreciated.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
It cannot break things further. Have you tried dd zero out cache? If there is an I/O problem then that most certainly will break the dd command. You can also try to read back the cache partition with dd command to /data or to / if have enough space on / to confirm there are no I/O errors. If you havent find any I/O errors then I can imagine two things. Something got messed up in the gpt partition or the mmc is fauilty.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dujinga:
I'm a rookie, can you please explain how to "dd zero out" the cache?

P.S. I now have problems on other parts as well:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dujinga:
Thank you for your reply. But running this command wil be a problem as it requiers Philz and ADB.

I can still flash Philz in the recovery, but it won't boot into the recovey afterwards :(

Guys, I want to thank you for all the help, but I'm giving up.

Gonna contact the supplier with the question how to resolve this issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Can't flash TWRP either?

What about

fastboot boot recovery.img

Where you don't flash but boot the recovery image from computer?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
Pretty sure "FAILED (remote: flash write failure)" error means that the emmc is hosed.

It's best you claim warranty/insurance.

-Sent from a Lollipop'd Hammerhead!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dujinga:
Ok, so I flashed Philz again (btw TWRP always kept working but that one has a strange shell (limited)).

This time instead of booting straight into recovery after I flashed it, I turned it off and on again.

Now I could get into Philz.

So I ran:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27

Expecting it to fail, but this was the result:

dd: writing '/dev/block/mmcblk0p27': No space left on device
1433601+0 records in
1433600+0 records out
734003200 bytes (700.0MB) copied, 41.996465 seconds, 16.7MB/s

That seems OK to me :)

So I'm going to try a bit more. I already openend a case with the reseller though.

One way or another this will get resolved :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I didn't see that error. Yes, hosed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dujinga:
The first time always failes, if I rerun command after a fail it succeeds (or it says it does).

Anayway this happens to all sections, but I start with the bootloader. Can't mess much around there because without the bootloader you are defenatly toast :)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
It's a wild goose chase mate. Do you even know what the error stands for? "Flash write failure" means the emmc is toast and hence nothing can be written on it. It's kinda become read only now. Even if the flash is successful, a quick reboot will roll everything back.

It's best you take it up with your seller and claim warranty. There;s nothing you can do.

Good luck! :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infraspace:
Hello,

I'd like to downgrade my SGS3 GT-I9300 international running 4.3 (baseband v. I9300XXUGNA8) to the official 4.1.2 ROM.

I don't have an EFS backup from the days when I ran 4.1.2 previously so I'm thinking I will have to factory reset, flash the ROM up to 4.1.2, root, then restore user apps via Titanium. I don't think KNOX will be an issue; as far as I can tell it's not installed on my device.

My questions are:

Can I factory reset to avoid problems with the IMEI?

Will I be able to just restore apps installed under 4.3 into 4.1 and have them work, or will I have to reinstall each and every one from the Play store?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darke5tShad0w:
You need a efs backup or use a mk6 or newer modem.

Why do you want to downgrade to this sds vulnerable version for?

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/general/ref-imei-efs-stuff-i9300-including-t2393289

Also questions go in the q&a section.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infraspace:
I mainly want to downgrade because of performance issues with 4.3. When I back out of an app or hit the Home button, I frequently have to wait for several seconds before icons load. I've tried freezing as many useless bloat apps and services as I can but it hasn't helped at all.

I find it hard to believe that a factory reset will leave the device unusable as a phone... shouldn't the factory reset reset everything, including the EFS?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Try searching for just two minutes, you will find hundreds of posts where their imei was lost (permanently) by trying to downgrade -usually so they could unlock for free.

Factory reset only wipes data, nothing else. As above, flash only a firmware compatible with efs v2, EMG4 or later.

Backup your efs first, be prepared to pay for a repair if you get it wrong.

Your problem is a lack of free memory, dumping the launcher. Try one that stays resident.

here's the steps to get you back to stock

download this > https://mega.co.nz/#!VcZAgIgT!flJca5C_hRl6pgAn5EXp4qbJCl0ONjZB8PHNylw5f3Y

while it's downloading go into TWRP and choose Backup

uncheck everything except boot ... do the backup

this will create a folder on your sdcard TWRP/BACKUPS/your_Serial_no/Todays date

when the download is complete extract it to the Todays date folder. Make sure it's just files in the folder and no folders

now boot back to TWRP and choose restore and restore the backup / make sure system and boot are checked.

the last step is to put back the stock recovery

use this one > http://d-h.st/WB4

you flash it the same as TWRP

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot

your phone should now be back to stock and ready for OTA update
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
COLLECTION of Stock backup's

Your CID is HTC__Y13 you can download any x.xx.401.x backup from that thread.

Download any x.xx.401.x backup (HTC__001 will be fine) and backup through correct custom recovery(Philz if it was Philz, TWRP if it was a TWRP created backup).

You can also download any x.xx.401.x stock recovery for your device OR you can grab the latest stock recovery from the OTA(Copy OTA.zip to your PC and extract the recovery.img file inside the firmware.zip).

Thanks in advance.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
No I guess your phone is an International version, not because you're Brazillian but because your CID says "HTC__001" which is International. Like You no doubt read in the 2 posts just above yours, download a nandroid backup for your device and restore it via the correct custom recovery. I even put a link to the thread with the nandroid collection in my first post here!!!

Just download the nandroid for your device, it'll be the 1.54.401.x backup seeing as you're still on the 3.16bootloader. 3.18 was 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 is 3.19 so you're probably still on 1.54.401.x. Download the 1.54.401 backup and restore in custom recovery. Afterwards just flash back the stock recovery.img

Make sure recovery.img is in your adb folder and boot into bootloader and use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img <That'll give you stock recovery again and you can reboot back into OS and download/install and update the OTA/Firmware as it comes all the way to 3.28.401.6/7
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BernardoMorais:
Sorry man, but I did. I read the post before mine. But I like I said, I'm trying to do this about 2 days and everything went wrong, so I thought that the version HTC__Y13 could have a different procedure that HTC__001.

I'm not the kind of user that thinks the problem is just happening to him. I read a lot of things but seems that more I read, more doubt I get.

Anyway, thank you very much for the fast answer. I will try what you said. :good:

Just one doubt. My ROM is 4.4.4 and my bootloader is 3.16. Is this wrong?
