hi,

without the actual errors your question reads like this:

HELP !!!!! I flumoxed my combobulator and now the doohickey on my thing-a-ma-whatsit is all floopy ! :crying:

:silly:

Kidding ! okay seriously,

if you can pack you /system as a system.img [not sparse] you can use the following method in your script for installation.

ui_print("***********************************************");
ui_print(" rom-test");
ui_print(" by super-dev");
ui_print("***********************************************");

ui_print("Installing System.....");
show_progress(1, 15);
package_extract_file("system.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p[COLOR="Red"]##[/COLOR]");
ui_print("Installing Kernel.....");
show_progress(0.050000, 5);
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p[COLOR="Red"]##[/COLOR]");
show_progress(0.200000, 10);
ui_print("Installation complete!");

if you can output a system.img and it is sparse [need linux] the command to change it to ext4 is

simg2img system.img system.img.ext4

then you can rename system.img.ext4 to system.img

the partition layout by ACTUAL mmcblk0p## is : for t530nu;

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M49MuM.357:
Hello guys, I have a very strange problem with this phone when I use a wired Samsung headset that came with my Galaxy S4. The headset has 3 buttons, 2 for volume control, and 1 for whatever else (calls, pause/skip tracks, etc).

Basically whenever I plug it in and start the music with a press of a button, it seems to work sort of properly, but every now and then, the track pause/skip button starts acting like a Volume UP buttons, and just makes it louder with every click. Does the same thing regardless of the music app. I generally use PowerAMP. My device is rooted, but no custom ROMs have been installed.

This problem is really annoying, and I would really appreciate any information on how to fix it. If you require any additional information, I would be happy to provide it.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M49MuM.357:
Anyone?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqbirvin:
Yeah I was having this issue on and off for awhile. I use 5.0 and it seems to be fixed for it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Amo5:
Hello, well i have SGH-I777 and about a week ago the phone frezee so i turn it off and when i turned it on its just stuck on "Samsung galaxy" logo and i can not go in recovery mode.

Because i can go just into Download mode i tried to flash rom with Odin but idk what went worng now i have this message:

firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again.

I still can go to Download mode and use Odin but i tried to flash 4 (!) diffrenet "stock rom" but everyone of them wont work and the proccess stoped in the middle(factoryfs.img or sbl.bin or setupconnection or NAND Write Start!!)

So i give up and ask for help here! please what should i do and what im doing worng?

I download the stock rom from here and galaxys2root and some other places and nothing work everything stuck at some point..

HELP PLEASE! How can i fix this problem? and which rom i shold have after this (i had CM 10.1.3 and he have some problems and crash from time to time) is there any other better rom?

Thank you so much!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] StoneyJSG:
Your phone seems to be soft bricked. Are the stock roms you downloaded .tar files or .md5 files? If they are .zip files or .rar files, uncompress them with 7zip. Did you put them in the PDA slot in ODIN?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
[MENTION=6199391]Amo5[/MENTION],

Sorry to be so late to answer your question, but I have been traveling out of town for the holiday.

Go to the Download Repository and get the latest stock distribution, I777UCMD8 Stock Binaries (Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean). Enter download mode and flash that, and see if the flash will complete. If the flash completes, but the phone does not boot past the splash screen, enter recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset.

If the flash is not successful, your phone may have nand read/write corruption, so post back here with the results of the above, and I will post the instructions for clearing nand r/w corruption.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Amo5:
Thank you for your answer, I already understood this soft brick and I downloaded of coruse the .tar files and I put them in the PDA slot in ODIN.

Thank you so much for your answer, you have nothing to be sorry about :)

I download the file from here like you said and the flash stuck again at SBL1.bin , anyway i can't go in recovery mode.

So it is nand read/write corruption like you said? what should i do now?

Thanks again both!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
The problem MAY be NAND read/write corruption. It is also possible that you have a bad or flaky connection between the phone and the computer. Sometimes failed flash is due to USB cable or micro USB connector on the phone, or you may need to use a different USB port on the computer, or even another computer. If the problem is NAND read/write corruption, then the following should clear it.

Instructions to clear nand read/write corruption. Instructions are specific; do them in order, and don't skip.

Odin3 v1.85 is recommended.

1) Download the Tar version of Siyah 2.6.14 Kernel. Flash it in PDA. Without ticking Re-Partitioning

2) Flash the Tar.md5 of the full stock Gingerbread distribution from the Download Repository, I777UCKH7 including the bootloaders and everything, in the PDA slot.

3) If that is successful you are done. If it is not, then:

4) Download the SBL Bootloader from the Download Repository. Flash it as PDA in ODIN, without ticking Re-Partitioning. (Please observe normal bootloader flashing caution.)

5) Flash the Kernel, as in step 1.

6) Flash the full stock Gingerbread distribution, as in step 2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Amo5:
Thank you again, the Siyah 2.6.14 Kernel doesnt work, its stuck also at NAND Write Start!!

I tried also the full stock and its doesnt work also, about the SBL Bootloader i cant find the download there colud you give me the direct link? i get confused with all the links and descriptions there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
The I777 SBL is the very first item in the Download Repository.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Amo5:
Its also stuck at NAND Write Start!! part, why nothing is working?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I would first suspect a problem with the connection. As I wrote previously:

Try different cables. Try different USB port on the computer. If you can get access to a different computer, try flashing from that. That will be a good start to troubleshooting this issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Amo5:
I tried a diffrenets USB cables and USB port, next setp is another computer? and what if it doesnt work?

TY again for all the help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
In 99.9% of cases (I'm not going to say it's an absolute, but nearly so), when the phone can go into download mode it can be flashed. I'm not sure I know all the possible factors that would interfere with a flash, but the connection between the phone and the computer probably accounts for the vast majority of cases.

Have you ever had any problems with the USB port on the phone? You might try cleaning it with alcohol, not 80% as it has too much water in it, at least 90% or better.

Another thing you could try is flashing it using Heimdall from the command line instead of using Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Amo5:
sorry for my late answer, i have been away for the last week.

I just tried diffrenet latptop and again with my PC and same result still stuck at NAND Write Start or SBL1 its depened at the file im trying to flash(stock/kernel/sbl)

of coruse I tried different USB cables and even micro USB.

what next? :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
There is little else I can add to help find a solution to your issue. I've already covered pretty much what I know about the SGH-I777 with respect to your issues.

Even though you have been unable to flash with the things you have tried so far, it still may flash for you if you keep working with it. I have seen users report in the forums here that they were able to get a successful flash on the xth try (I don't remember, 5th, 10th, 15th?)

It could possibly be an issue with your micro usb port on the phone? What have you done to trouble shoot that?

There are some things that could cause the reported behavior that are not related to the connection between the phone and the computer. I have seen one or two reports of actual memory module damage that would allow the phone to boot, but not to function correctly. In such a case, the damage is in a non-critical area of the memory.

If you live near an AT&T service center (not a store), you might take the phone in to the technicians there and ask if they can help you out. I know the phone is rather old and out of warranty, but they still might help.

You could send the phone to Samsung for repair. There will be a charge. I think you could determine how much by calling them ahead of time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Amo5:
Well my counter is about 25 now and many times the flash isnt count..

I living in country without AT&T service so i guess i send the phone to some lab or something..

About the connection between the phone and the computer i had troubles with it in the past so i just move to "Wifi file transfer" so i dont know if the problem still relavent, anyway i checked it in 2 differents computers and many USB cables.

SO what you saying is keep trying OR send it to some lab?

thanks again for all your help buddy

Is it possible to turn off the sound in camera so it is silent when taking pictures? (I not want to mute the phone)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagDave:
Just use Tasker to mute your device when the camera is active

Sent from my SM-N910F
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iamapotato:
The option is not on every Note 4 device. My SM-N910C doesn't have that. Apparently from what I've heard Koreans are obliged by law to have the sound whenever they use a camera.

I've also heard rooted Note 4 can get rid of this, but you'll have to ask someone else on how exactly it's done.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
If rooted you can modify the csc settings to make the camera shutter menu appear. It's present in all Samsung roms, just not enabled on some of them.

The most convenient way to modify the csc features is to use an app called note 2 hidden features. Works on all Samsung devices, don't let the name fool you.

Check out "Note 2 Hidden Settings"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steinapps.note2hiddensettings
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chefproll:
You need a rooted Note 4, right.

Easiest method is just erasing or renaming the shutter sound file; usually called something like "Shutter.ogg".

With the Note 4, I suspect it's \system\media\audio\ui\Shutter.ogg

But beware: With other Samsung models (like the S4), this just deactivated the regular, single shot shutter sound. The sound for that "sequence shots" (if you keep the shutter button pressed) was still there.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlhdk:
So you buy a flagship phone..... and then you need to root it for turn off the shutter sound... ? Well I am glad that I not use the camera that much....
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zurkx:
enforced stream silencer will do it
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henklbr:
NO, in many countries it's PROHIBITED by law to turn off the shutter sound (probably in yours too!)!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlhdk:
NO it's not prohibited here - and both my Z2 phone and tablet are capable turning off the shutter sound.... So I can only hope for an update ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zurkx:
why are you hoping for an update ? enforced stream silencer does it without root.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlhdk:
And where do I get enforced stream silencer? After all it would have been more easy if Samsung just make it possible to silence the shutter sound in their flagship device ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zurkx:
just install the apk and run.

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto/devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.1/mmc_host

in settings it shows me that it has been changed, but when i tried to download smth it says that i have no space in external memory, but on my sd card is 32 gb free.

I can copy the whole vold.fstab text if u need it, but i thin these 2 lines are only important. I also read that vold.fstab.nand should be changed too, is that true?

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] wrogerw:
Haven't seen anything on 128gb cards, but I bought 64gb cards on Amazon for $19.99 each.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jazzmachine:
Picked up a 64GB PNY from Amazon to replace the second 64GB Sandisk card to develop "write-lock" / unformatable syndrom on me. So far definitely so good as the read / write speeds on this card are fantastic. I forget the speed stated in the description, but it was the reason that I chose that one over a Samsung EVO for pretty much the same price. Glad I did (so far) :)

I can't wait until 128GB cards fall into line with the prices of lower capacity cards (1 X 128GB < 2 X 64GB). Soon hopefully... haven't seen one cheaper than $100.

Drives that you can find great deals on however are the regular USB (2 or 3) connecter on one side and a micro USB connecter on the other. I've had a 32GB and a 64GB (the latter USB 3) for a while, but I just grabbed a 128GB for $40 :good: I freaking love these drives. There's not really a difference in price between there and regular USB 3 flash drives... why not get one that you can easily use in your phone as well as your PC sans any adapters, and as far as phone use goes: one of the fastest ways to transfer large files from PC to phone, perfect for media - particularly hi res video if you want to watch a movie or something on your phone, and the killer feature: can be mounted in TWRP! No more realizing I forgot to DL or whatever a file I want to flash mid-nandroid, long reboot rebuilding caches, reboot recovery again... just toss it on the drive and flash from or even nandroid to the drive! Crazy useful :D

I ended up with one of these from ebay a year ago or so, you can spot it easily by the packaging (as if the price wasn't already a red flag) Sadly you probably won't realize it until after you've begun copying files to it! To be safe, I always format (FULL format, NOT quick-format!) my sd cards before use!

Stick to brands you've heard of (as [MENTION=4149744]sloanster[/MENTION] stated), and as others on the thread have, pay attention to the reviews :good:
