When I first get into it it says on the bottom

# MANUAL MODE #

Applied the CSC-code : BIU

Successfully applied multu-CSC.

Which I assume is normal. I can't check again, but I did get an error while flashing CM11 which went very similarly to

Finding update package ...

Opening update package ...

Verifiyng update package ...

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

I can't flash .zip files from External Storage at the moment, so other suggestions would be preferred.

I did try converting .zip files into .tar files with 7z but I don't think it was successful.

You're trying to flash custom ROMs in the stock recovery?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obesidia:
Pretty much, yeah, I was trying anything.

What next?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArkThompson:
You need a custom recovery to flash custom ROMs. You could try flashing one in Odin and then flashing a stock ROM .zip using the recovery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obesidia:
I'll try that, but how do I get the .zip file in the right place to install from SD Card?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArkThompson:
Use ADB (USB debugging is enabled by default in custom recoveries).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obesidia:
Okay thanks! I'll try that and get back.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obesidia:
First time doing this, and I have discovered I have no idea what to do. I'm using

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android

as a guide but I don't even know how to open the adb so I can input something into the command line.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArkThompson:

You need to use the adb push command to move the file onto your phone. You just use cmd (type cmd into run and press enter).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obesidia:
I tried that but I got an error about the file locations. I think it's because there was a space in the one of the folder names, or at least that's what the command line suggested; it basically said "could not push file to '...\Desktop\Fix'" but the folder is called Fix phone.

I was about to rename the folder and move it to C:\ but I just went to reboot the phone in cwm recovery and it said DOES NOT HAVE ROOT ACCESS. ROOT NOW?

I selected yes and it rebooted as normal and got stuck in the samsung boot animation, so no progress there.

I have a backup in CWM recovery from a couple of months ago, I've just found but obviously doing that would lose all my recent pictures and messages. There isn't really a way to get them back by continuing with this method, is there?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArkThompson:
I think you probably lost your messages when you flashed a stock ROM with Odin. Your pictures could be ok, check with adb and pull them if they are still there.
[General Questions and Answers] Ponkuto:
Is there an Anti Theft for android that when the thief opens the phone, it automatically capture a picture and without knowing by the thief the picture will send to an email of the real owner of the phone. I saw this kind of Anti theft in a news on TV reporting about a thief of a laptop identified because of this method.

It is branded by T-Mobile Austria.

Does anybody know a free way to get away this unlock?

Thanks for answers!!!
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Samson711:
Typing the word "unlock" in the search bar for the Artemis Board gives me 58 Threads...At the moment there is NO FREE Unlocking solution, you will have to pay your provider, pay Imei-Check or just wait... Imei-Check also gives your Device Super CID if i'm not wront, which allows you to flash any fitting ROM.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] madmanzippy:
Hi All,

I love my captivate, but replaced it with a droid 4 so I could switch off 4g and use hands free. The issue I have is, where I live we have poor cell coverage except for 2g. If the phone has even the faintest sniff of 3g or 4g it connects to that. This results in no calls or few calls getting through, hence needing to turn it off. All the roms I have tried don't seem to allow you to select 2g only (my droid does). Also all the roms I have tried prior to august have Bluetooth issues and have no audio on any of my 3 HF kits. If I use the standard at&t rom, they all work, just stuck with 4g.

I have tried the service menu, but that only works sometimes and I find myself missing a few calls and spending half my time messing with that menu. Any apps I tried, only actually link to the phones menu and don't actually do much more than provide a shortcut.

Please help, as I would prefer to use this over my droid, especially as that has the dreaded earpiece issue. AAARRRRRRRGGGGG :mad:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] steadfasterX:
Hi

Have you tried sediROM and if so: are your BT devices working with it?

If that is the case and you want to permanently disable 3G and 4G for the device:

Open dialer

Type in: *#*#2263#*#

Tap menu 3 (GSM bands)

Select 1 (All GSM)

Tap the menu button and press "end" if the menu does not close automatically after that.

Hint: never use the "back" key while in service mode!

That way you will effectively disable or enable 3G and 4G. You can revert by choosing automatic instead of menu 3.

As this is something you do not want to do every day I can recommend the app Llama (2 "L"). With this you could switch on/off 3G based on your location (based on the phone cell , gps e.g. or based on whatever you want). You need to specify a rule within Llama where you define a event and an action. The action can then be to use 3G etc or disable it e.g. when you leave home enable it and disable it when come back.

If sediROM works for your BT devices then you should be fine with either the above permanent solution and/or using Llama.

All the best

-----
[Samsung Captivate Glide] madmanzippy:
Thanks for this. I have flashed phone and will try over the weekend. Thanks for the code hint, I never used to press end, which may be half the problem. I have downloaded Llama too. On initial setup it doesn't seem to be switching to 2g. This could possibly be a error on my part and will continue playing. FYI the code is actually *#*#2263#*#*
[Samsung Captivate Glide] steadfasterX:
Thanks yeah I typed the code with my phone so I missed the last asterisk but you figured it out already.

Llama itself will do nothing until you tell it what to do.

So you need to add a rule within Llama first and then you need to add an action like disable 3G,4G.

Check the doc here: http://kebabapps.blogspot.de/p/llama-handling-guide-instructions.html

In my case the service menu method is working fine nevertheless. Llama would be a fallback only or if you want to have some automatism only (well THEN Llama is a great tool btw).

Have fun
[Samsung Captivate Glide] madmanzippy:
FYI

After a week with the captivate, I was reminded just how much of a pain in the butt all this is. I was happy I had BT, however the 4g just won't go away. I think with the pac rom I could at least get that to stay off, but had no BT.

Llama wouldn't stop 4g. I even had it set to ignore the 4g towers it could see, however it seems to have some kind of AI and knows when you have relaxed that you have it sorted, and would then connect to 4g even though it says "ignore". The service menu does the same and even though you go in and check and it says gsm only it will be on 4g and I would have to enable and save it on, then again off.

Also the wireless in this rom seems to take a long time to wake up when you wake phone.

Close but not worth the hassle.

I have just installed a nokia earpiece in my droid 4, and am able to hear again.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] steadfasterX:
Well sounds bad and thx for giving feedback nevertheless.

The only thing I want to ask is have you tried sediROM or pacman ROM only? Just wanted to have it clear because I do not know which of the above problems occured with pacman and which not or all of them etc..

cu.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] madmanzippy:
All the 4g issues were with the original ics rom and also with sediROM, however I could connect to bt. most of the jellybean and kitkat roms were good in controlling 4g, but would not connect to my bt headsets.

Good work on the sediROM though

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baff57:
Ok i admit i am new at this so gentle please!!

I decided i wanted to update my Asus Transformer Prime TF201, i followed a link which offered me the perfect bootloader and looked like an easy way to update to 4.4.2 from 4.1.1 (i think they are correct)

I installed Flatline CWM Recovery V1.0RC1 (this i think was the mistake) , i never set up (or could not) the recovery part so i went ahead to install a file CM-11-20131229 for the TF201, it starts the procedure and then throws it out on error 7 the same applies to Google Apps.

I have read info on this and have come to the conclusion the problem is Flatline is outdated and that is the reason for the error 7.

Now in this version it does not support USB or SD connection and i cant see my cards or sticks just the Tablets internal memory where the update resides (which i cant load).

I cant see

a/ how to update the bootloader and how?

b/ How to load an image which is compatible with this version.

I see in the menu system of Flatline recovery there is a section with sideload, i plug in the USB and windows connects but i cant see it in terminal or doing the wrong thing.

Flatline does not go into the first menu where you can select USB , it goes straight into Recovery.

JUst cant see how i can update or load an image which is supported by version 1.0 on Flatline.

The preferred way is to update the Flatline to see the image, anyone help this old fool!!

Okay good to hear, yesterday I also flashed this rom btw it's super smooth and a amazing rom:good: but the only thing I have a problem with right now is the random reboots that occur.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alx31:
since nobody reported that, that means its becuz of your apps or your data restore

clean flash the rom, and don't restore any apps or settings, if no random reboot for 12 hours minimum; then its becuz of you, not me :angel:

and on cm/aocp roms, recovery in included in kernel so if u flash my rom and the kernel is included in zip pacjage, for sure u gonna loose recovery!

Currently at the re-root stage. :p

Edit: Having trouble again, TWRP just reboots its-self when trying to flash Validus

What recovery should I be using to flash from rooted stock .230firmware (can flash any firmware, just happy to have my phone unbricked but android L is the future...)

Edit2: Got it running, working perfectly i think. One think I'm missing, my proximity sensor is broken, and this means the screen doesn't wake when i pull the phone away from my ear, on RessurRemix, it featured "Power button to end call" and I cant find it here... assist me please?

U need to grab a chair and read a bit more xda buddy...

As u have an unlocked bootloader u don't have to root even with pure stock to install recovery, thats becuz u read stuff for locked BL

all custom kernel have an included recovery,,, as doomkernel (for roms stock or stock based) or boot.img from our roms or cm roms.

to access recovery from a stock clean flashed rom, u simply has to fastboot flash any of these kernels.

BUT

doomkernel is for stock roms and cm roms cannot be flashed from it.

either flash a recovery as twrp into fota partition or fastboot flash a boot.img from cm11 roms as i already told u.

u can notice at anytime i speak about rooting....

And abt my proximity sensors, it works just perfect...
