[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Megatronicalite:
Hi all.

My unrooted SHW-M480W got suddenly stuck in a samsung logo bootloop.

I can access system recovery and download mode, and my device is able to connect to odin (but not kies).

Recovery mode shows:

E: failed to mount / system (Invalid argument)
can't mount '/system' (invalid argument)
E: failed to mount / system (Invalid argument)
E: File Open error '/cache/recovery/log'

E: File Open error '/cache/recovery/last_log'
E: can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: File Open error '/cache/recovery/last_install;'
E: can't open /cache/recovery/last_install

I downloaded the CF Auto-Root: p4notewifiany for the SHW-M480W (auto-reboot and F. Reset Time checked)

but Odin is unable to flash it:

How do I go from here to recover my tablet?

Any help would be appreciated, I am very new to this whole flashing my tablet thing.

SHW-M480W is a variant of the original Note 10.1, and not of the Note 10.1 2014, right? You might have better luck in those forums.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JacobL:
I have Verizon HTC One m8, all stock (still locked and S-On). It was performing flawlessly with KitKat 4.4.2 so I have been postponing the OTA for a while. But last night it snuck up on me *in low battery condition* (why doesn't the updater check for this???) ... needless to say it did not go well, and the phone no longer boots up. The good news is that I can still get into HBOOT, but invoking 'Recovery' did not appear to get me anywhere (how long *should* I wait?). I am trying to avoid factory reset, which is VZW Tech Support's standing solution, because I do not sync/backup to cloud and I'm behind on my regular backups.

Additional considerations:

I absolutely got to get the phone operational,

I really really do not want to loose my data and settings,

I am ambivalent about the 4.4.3 upgrade -- expert advice is very welcome,

I think I want to avoid the 4.4.4 upgrade from everything I've read,

It might be nice to have unlock/S-Off/root (or at least have the option), but I don't want to void my extended warranty -- i.e. need a clear path back to a blessed state.

Many thanks in advance!

OnePlus and Cyanogen on brink of breakup after India fight

http://www.engadget.com/2014/11/28/cyanogen-oneplus-one-india-betrayal/?ncid=rss_truncated

Crazy stuff :eek:

So what does this mean long term for us 1+1 fans ? Here's hoping we still get the official CM12S build early next year, and doesn't stop there ?
[ONE General] gd6noob:
Article said that CM will still provide support for another year... by then, If CM leaves, OnePlus will have its Lollipop rom up and running already...

I havent used the stock CM rom much.. I pretty much flashed PA as soon it was out and kept using it..
[ONE General] marcadam:
Sounds like a **** move from CM, money talks though I suppose.

[ONE General] Untouchab1e:
I really wonder what happened here. Did the contract really allow Cyanogen Inc to make exclusivity deals as they see fit. And what OEM will work with Cyanogen in the future after having stabbed their partner in the back? Or so it seems anyway.
[ONE General] Borgschulze:
Oh well, lots of great ROMs available for the OnePlus One.
[ONE General] jgcaap:
Well I hope cm team gives us some clarification about this...
[ONE General] GuestK00192:
not according to this quote:
[ONE General] the Doctor:
Has anyone heard CM's side of the story yet? How do we know OnePlus hasn't put the screws to CM?

^^^ This :good: Let's wait to hear from CM before casting judgment.
[ONE General] jgcaap:
I sincerely think cm should make money they deserve and gave for to long a free rom. OnePlus probably wants to make their own rom. They've already spoke about this before.
[ONE General] Zorachus:
Maybe OnePlus used Cyanogen just to get a brand name OS to help market and sell the OnePlus One originally ? Now that the phone is out, and selling more than they can produce, maybe OPO got cocky and said, hey we don't need CM to sell for us, we can do it ourselves in house now ?

If it went down like that, I feel bad for Cyanogen team.

I was under the wrong impression on the OPO when it was first announced long time ago. I thought Steve K. of Cyanogen was making a break to produce a phone of his own by a brand new company he partnered up with, and would run his CM ROM. And it would be a foundation of a new hardware company to produce the phone + Steve's CM ? Guess it's not like that.
[ONE General] jgcaap:
Well I read the opo letter. They are a greedy band. With a great marketing plan. Let's see now what they'll get for us.
[ONE General] nToxik:
So CM is now the definition of stupid.
[ONE General] ogrillion:
Ugh, should I quickly cancel my order?
[ONE General] the_chinaman:
CM are scummy and have history. They took the community contributions that were free and in the spirit of open source and tried to turn a profit.

And remember the focal camera spat?
[ONE General] jlevy73:
One has to wonder how much Cyanogen's decision came as a result of One Plus One poor hardware selection. Anyone plagued by the touchscreen bug knows the pain of having an essentially unusable device. My understanding is that One Plus provided the hardware and Cyanogen the software side. If Cyanogen got a better deal with hardware assurances from another company, can't fault them from walking. I'm sure there is more to this story then meets the eye but One Plus statement is vague and unconvincing.
[ONE General] the Doctor:
Totally agree. Those greedy scum should sit quietly in their offices and make ROMs for us for free without making us think about stupid things like how they pay their rent, keep their lights on or put food on their tables. Selfish profiteers!
[ONE General] jgcaap:
Loved the irony
[ONE General] Chad_Petree:
I'm kinda excited actually , I'm curious to see what oneplus cooks up , do you think they'll go with aosp ? Their letter makes it sound like they are embracing stock android but with some tweaks , ala Motorola maybe ? One can only dream Haha

[ONE General] marcadam:
Micromax is hardly known for it's premium phones. I'm sure they had their reasons but the lack of a clear official statement from both sides isn't very professional. I have been using CM since the days of eclair and I was happy to support them when they turned commercial but this kinda feels like a kick in the teeth.
[ONE General] jmazzamj:
WHile that IS true, most of them would not be here if Cyanogenmod was not behind it...
[ONE General] fmc000:
Exactly. Not to mention the work they're doing on Lollipop development on our OPO.
[ONE General] adam_pl:
This situation is very confusing and I'm starting to fear about Lollipop Rom development. I'm sure it will eventually come up but quality will be unknown. Beside, OPO was assuring 2 year support and now it's not so sure, at least witch official CMs
[ONE General] viny2cool:
If they didn't like the opo hardware then they are going with a worst company ever. My sister who lives in India has thrown lot of many at micromax phones. They have very bad built quality and have lot lot of hardware issues.

Having said that, this is totally a **** move. Don't know who is responsible here but for us users this losses confidence in both CM and Opo.
[ONE General] Zorachus:
So does this mean no official CM12S coming in Jan / Feb, like originally promised, 90 days after Google released Lollipop ?
[ONE General] PoisonWolf:
Thanks for the info OP. Was considering picking up the phone today, but I'll pass now. Not worth the time if the main Dev team may or may not be around after a year.
[ONE General] jgcaap:
Guys well have cm 12s and also probably the next. Beside that. Well have cm12/13/15 as long our devices lasts. Only won't have an S in the end. :p
[ONE General] Notor1ouS-:
no surprise. CM keeps acting like a bunch of imature devs + not caring about regular monthly releases. (hey wheres cm11 m12?).

ill stick to slimrom soon, MUCH better devs there.

cm is getting silly more and more.
[ONE General] jgcaap:
That's not true. They listen and if you show good ideas they implement features... Did you already tried to use jira bug tracker?
[ONE General] jgcaap:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2911897

If you follow links you'll find bugs which are not fixed. They've created this to help. Many people use this bug report to make double triple quadruple reports for the exact same thing. Even for things that's not related with Cm . but their dev maintainers always were willing to help, to improve and get a better experience. They even hack drivers for free.

How can you accuse them of immature when they are the only ones helping?
[ONE General] hapticc:
yeah money really talks but OPO don't need CM it can still be a huge hit
[ONE General] kanagadeepan:
Actually I don't know who is at fault... OnePlus is saying that they are innocent... I still can't believe that CM is betraying their partner...

I am NOT sure CM is a d!ck co... But what I know for sure is that, Micromax is a LUCKY + STUPID + GREEDY + D!CK co... Its bad that CM left OnePlus for those f00ls, imho...
[ONE General] joefso:
Not to mention AOSP 5 aka lolipop is also left to die by google basically
[ONE General] jgcaap:
You guys must be kidding with this comments
[ONE General] ek69:
Nobody knows CM side of the story yet ppl here have resorted to name calling etc already lol wtf is wrong with u guys? Mob mentality? Maybe OPO was screwing around with CM maybe it was the other way around, problem is we don't know for sure yet (if ever).
[ONE General] nikzDHD:
There is a lengthy faq posted on G+ by OPO in relation to the Indian release. Looks like OPO are working on a lollipop build themselves.
[ONE General] memphian:
Can you link it? Can't seem to find it.
[ONE General] eksasol:
I'll wait for more info, Engadget and Verge aren't website that read or believe in.
[ONE General] Zorachus:
Hmm...so that sounds pretty official. Sounds like OPO are done with Cyanogen come 2015.

Two questions then.

The OnePlus Two won't be a CM12S based phone then ? Just another cheap Chinese phone running their own in house version of Android ? I think will hurt sales, selling a new phone, with a brand new OS no one has ever heard of before.

What's up with Steve K. the founder and main man of Cyanogen ? What's his story ? And will he have a new hardware company to work with next year, and make a better Cyanogen phone, a super CM12 smartphone ?
[ONE General] zelendel:
Both answers are no.

The one 2 will have a Chinese based on like car os. And CM moved to an even crappier OEM in micromax which just imports all their devices from China anyway
[ONE General] motcher41:
Great marketing plan? When? Where? I think the marketing department was from the old Kmart Corp. Worst marketing ever.

What are you talking about?
[ONE General] zelendel:
He is talking about how Google left most of the AOSP based apps alone in 5.0 almost none of them were touched. Just look at the AOSP sms app. It hasn't changed one bit.
[ONE General] motcher41:
The SMS aosp app hasn't been touched in years...why would they now.

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

Heck when your on a nexus your not really running aosp anymore your on a google ROM. Aosp is, has and always will be plain and feature less
[ONE General] zelendel:
Well for some I guess that is true. I o ly run aosp roms myself. Nexus or not.

And see your wrong there the SMS app was updated for the caf version just recently to have back up and restore options.

Google is slowing closing most of their stuff off. Even in nexus devices. They are also not contributing anything to aosp apps. They are replacing them with their closed source versions.
[ONE General] joefso:

[ONE General] manjake:
Not the end of the world, AOSP with Xposed will suffice for most. Cyanogenmod is overrated anyway, they are great at fixing bugs but the bugs that have been present in the monthly 11s updates have been completely unacceptable. I don't mind problems with custom roms but now they are officially supporting devices they need to do sufficient testing prior to release. The kind of bugs that have been present in some updates would NEVER appear in builds from Samsung, HTC, LG, Sony, Google or Apple
[ONE General] zelendel:
Wow are you way off on that. All those OEM push updates that have tons of bugs. Hell just look at Apple maps or the lollipop update that broke sms for some EU countries. Also not all bugs can be fixed.

Android Authority's Jimmy Westenberg has accurately described this thread:
[ONE General] BrianDigital:
I like cm and one plus make some good hardware. But they need to split up. They obviously do not gel well together.

Every marketing ploy outta one plus had cm taking to social media to denounce any part in it.

Cm had an agreement with micromax for India. They just don't communicate well with each other
[ONE General] Zorachus:
Cyanogen will continue to support the OnePlus One

http://www.androidauthority.com/cyanogen-will-continue-support-oneplus-one-572338/

We are proud of the work we did on the OnePlus One. Through our collaboration with OnePlus, we demonstrated the power of strong hardware and software tuned for exceptional performance. To clarify misinformation out there, the OnePlus One will get OTA firmware updates for all global devices, including global devices for our users in India. Rather than have misinformation continue to circulate out there, we felt it important to bring this matter to rest.
[ONE General] Allan_Hun:
It seem to me that OnePlus has a bad habit telling customers hardware errors are software related and will be fixed with updates.

Yellow band was a feature, and issues with malfunctioning touchpanels was a software issue!

If Cyanogens developers got fed up trying to mask Oneplus hardware issues with software updates, I'm not going to blame them. Personally I don't trust Oneplus anymore.

I think Oneplus founder their own software development team before CM made the deal with Micromax, so it possible that CM simply realized Oneplus wasn't going to continue their cooperation with CM...

But, as the_chinaman mentioned, Steve K. from CM does not have a perfect reputation. Money sadly has a tendency to influence people not to behave nice, and I think Cyanogen corp. proves this.

So I really don't know who to blame but I fear OPO customers are going to be the losers in this case.

Ps: I'm very happy with my OPO and couldn't wish for a better phone.
[ONE General] :
I actually thought oneplus was CM. lol I was wrong.
[ONE General] jgcaap:
This I agree with you. Cm is much more professional. OnePlus is going down... Just a matter of time.. Unless they improve support and stop lying by email. I do not believe they have that many emails to receive.
[ONE General] CrashTestDroid:
This fuss hasn't impacted the OnePlus One hardware which is the most important factor. Anybody can download CM11S if they want, or use AOSP LP when it's out in January.

I've been impressed by the way OnePlus operates despite a few sh1tty but vocal users crapflooding their forum. Informing the community of major internal decisions shows class.
[ONE General] jgcaap:
OnePlus should improve client support instead of backstabbing their partners... I don't even understand how you guys get feeded on such a novel.
[ONE General] Notor1ouS-:
what a **** move by cm, they should rot in hell. still no cm11 m12, that shows how much they care ;) lazy cm devs rofl
[ONE General] Zephyr!:
CM will not update give firmware update in India latest blog released by CM said. If you want the update in india then buy it from outside India. :(

Is one plus one still worth a buy?
[ONE General] zelendel:
Before you call someone lazy do it yourself and see what happens.

I'll be honest you should have seen this coming.
[ONE General] Swagg422:
Still not understanding what all this fuss was about?

1. This will mostly only effect user in INDIA.

2. We will still get Cyanogen support until the end of 2015.

3. Both companies have they're short comings neither of them is completely innocent.

The One Plus One is a great phone one of the best I've ever had and has some of the best hardware despite what you here from a few cry babies. Support isn't that great but ALL phone support teams suck period.

PS: makes me laugh at people complaining when most of your warranties are void soon after buying the phone. (I know mine was)

Well, some of you might seen the XDA portal sidebar: Cyngn, OnePlus, Micromax – The Legal Battle

The post:

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/cyngn-oneplus-micromax-the-legal-battle/

You might ask, is this the end for international users, as they've came to a point that they will not be supporting India OnePlus devices

In fact, Cyanogen has signed a contract with OP that they will support until at least 2016

Might be time for me to convince her to let me replace it with Omni or something else.

XDA Developer Admin / Senior, pulser_g2 replied:

From what Kirk said ("Carl. We will be terminating our relationship with one plus. I will get back to you with more details shortly."), there might well be issues. Nobody knows, but that kind of message seems rather like CM are ending working with 1+.

It is rather unusual though - you don't "break" a contract by telling the other party you will do it, and send details later. That's just not how you do business. You negotiate the specifics, and try to have a clean, quiet, and drama-free break-up, without headlines or press releases. Both sides would discuss the terms and settlements, and legal would sign off on it. That's how it usually works. In this case, this is highly unusual.

So, at this point, we're not giving a like to Cyanogen for doing this, but OnePlus recently posted this:

https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/contest-oneplus-rom-you-name-it.208689/

AND THIS

https://oneplus.net/blog/2014/12/oneplus-partners-with-waves-to-add-maxxaudio-to-the-one/

If you're switching to a new device when they really stop supporting international OPO, at least wait until the January release of the OnePlus created ROM, with new stuffs or maybe more awesome features, Lollipop confirmed!
[General Topics] rahul9five:
I usually like to listen to music while playing games on my phone but the sounds from the game keeping ruining it. So i have been looking over the internet for this for quite some time now. Finally found a way.

Note: this can also be used to change the sound files to your songs choice..

No need of any coding knowledge or any extra application/software except for a file manager.

I am using ES File explorer.

Here goes

Goto /data/app

Find your app or game you want to remove sounds from

Copy the apk file to some place else on the sdcard or just create a backup

Goto the backup/copied file

Rename it from abcd.apk to abcd.zip

Open it( your file explorer should do it otherwise use RAR for andtoid app)

Goto assets/ (This is where the sound files are usually stored.. Dig a little deep if you have to. The folder will usually clearly say "Sound" or "Audio")

Delete it

Go back and rename abcd.zip to abcd.apk

Uninstall the previous version and install the new apk

Note: This is more of a permanent thing and will be useful if you dont like the audio of a game but it is still not the solution i really wanted. I wanted to be able to just disable the sound accessability of an app temporarily at my own discretion. So if anyone has the answer to that. Iam all ears.
