[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadProfessor2002:
I am still having issues with this phone, and would really like some help and advice.

I found this post with a similar issue: S3 Mini stuck in boot loop after flashing cm 10.2 try odin am i missing a step?

The above post pointed me here: Official ROOTED firmwares for the SIII mini - OXX csc

I have once again tried all the I8190N firmware (roms) listed, and I am still having the same issue as before.

Just to recap the issue that I am having.

The phone will switch on, get as far as displaying "Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N" then the phone restarts, this will on happening.

If you try to start the phone in bootloader / recovery mode the phone will just display "Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N" and sit there.

Powering up the phone in Odin mode seems to work fine.

Thanks again for your time.

Best Regards.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simbilli:
Let me understand.

Download mode is working fine and ODIN recognizes phone ?

You tried to flash stock ROM via Odin ?

But It still stucked in bootloop ?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadProfessor2002:
That is correct.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simbilli:
Are you sure about did you find the stock ROM ?

Behind the battery there is a paper. With S/N you may understand which baseband do you have
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadProfessor2002:
I am not sure about the stock firmware (rom), that is why I have been asking for help and advice.

The sticker under the battery has the following details:

The sticker on the NAND Flash chip has the following details:

Are you above to advice me what is the correct firmware (rom) I need with the above details?

Best Regards.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simbilli:
You should try kies. It will find the correct ROM but I didnt use it and its diffrent from ODIN
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadProfessor2002:
Kies does not work, when you have kies loaded and then plug the usb cable into the phone kies just shows connecting but fails to connect or do anything else.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simbilli:
You need to unistall ODIN. Did you entered your phone S/N and did kies download the files ?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoLogY:
Here are some question about Kies.

Does Kies detect a rooted device and deny its USB connection?

Or limit any feature on it?

I`m facing a problem using Odin and USB connection while

trying to flash TWRP update on my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini (GT-I8190N).

i have no issue using Kies to make a backup before, so i`m guesting that`s the reason.

my solution was to uninstall Kies temporarily(keeping the backup files).

Its no major problem, just trying to communicate and share opinions in this forum.

Anyone having/had this kind of problem?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simbilli:
Did you installed USB drivers ?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoLogY:
I did. Probably after done the backup via Kies, I think (not sure the exact time).

I was looking forward on flashing custom ROMs.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simbilli:
Ok now If you installed USB drivers flash twrp via ODIN. Donf forget to unistall kies.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoLogY:
Thank you simbili Bro. Will flash -f2fs 2.8.1.0 version. i just got an update of CM11 Rom, maybe will use it on my Mini`s. Thanks again simbili.

[General Topics] SiberianLeopard:
When you accidentally destroy an SD card with incorrect partitioning or the SD card pops out of its slot during S-OFF attempts, you may be out of luck. Until now.

I have discovered a way to fix a dead SD card. You will need four things.

1. A dead SD card.

2. Linux Knowledge.

3. Patience (depending upon how big your SD card is).

4. Linux.

THIS WILL DELETE ALL OF YOUR DATA

Create a linux boot disk. I recommend Ubuntu since that's what I used. Stick it in your computer and boot from the drive. Skip this step if you already have a linux box.

Next, you need to install GParted and have admin access on the computer.

The most common cause of an SD card is unallocated space from something.

Start GParted.

In the upper right hand part of the window, select your drive. Once that happens, you need to allocate the space. Click on "Device" then "Create Partition Table". Select the options you want. It is recommended that you choose "msdos" encoding.

Once the partitions are created you need to format it. Now this will format it with the permissions from the device you are using, so don't put data on it until you can switch back to windows.

Find a Windows machine that has permissions to format memory devices.

Format the device as a standard user or Admin user.

Put your data back on the card.

Enjoy!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhargav_me:
I am a first time android user. I have my opo running the cm11s. Its rooted and have some xposed modules installed. The problem that i am facing is that many apps just keep crashing with the error "unfortunately the app has stopped working". I am not able to figure out the proper reason. Is it because of the rooting and xposed modules running....?? The camera app also crashes sometimes while taking hdr image which is most frustrating.
[Motorola Droid 4] v8amg:
Finally upgraded my nokia n900 to a droid 4 and started playing with android.

Droid 4 is great, except all the verizon bloatware. That's the only real reason I've been looking at other roms. I've had a good go, but now back on the stock rom.

Is there a method of removing the bloatware, and a list of which ones remove from the stock rom?

I'd like to get another rom on the go. My issue is the wipe function in safestrap didn't seem to do a full wipe. When I go to install a new rom, it seems to show some of the data is already used. Is there a way to wipe literally everything on the phone? I tried installing cm11 to the stock rom and it loaded the droid 4 background and cm11 shortcuts for example.

Cheers
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
see [INDEX] Development Motorola Droid 4

miscellaneous
[Motorola Droid 4] v8amg:
Cheers, read a good few of those already, but missed that thread with them all organised.

I take it we won't be getting any updates on this phone any time soon? So can I uninstall all the things on that list? I had a look and some didn't have an uninstall button, is there another method?

Hoe do you do a full format? Safe strap doesn't seem to do this.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
unlikely that the Droid 4 will get any more updates

Yes, you can disable (if that is an option), remove or rename (rename is safer, like adding .bak) using a root browser/explorer/manager, safest use Titanium backup pro to freeze the app or backup and delete (not as safe).

also can leave stock rom, and install a deboated stock rom like the ones posted under Jellybean Roms in my Index

what do you consider full format?

You can reflash firmware with RSD Lite or Droid 4 utility

You can you can wipe system, user data, sd cards in safestrap.
[Motorola Droid 4] v8amg:
Safestrap doesn't seem to format completely, I get an error on the sdcard, not external, and there are usually files left over. IE after a full format, it says 968mb free of 999, numbers are just an example.

RSD lite only seemed to install the stock rom and wouldn't install any others?

Cheers for the help.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
could mount sd card to pc, and quick format

Correct, RSD lite is only for Official Motorola Firmware
[Motorola Droid 4] v8amg:
Possibly a silly question, but if its a 16gb phone, why does it come up as 8gb when plugged into a computer?

So if I format on the PC, will it still boot into safe strap on restart or will I need to rsd lite it?

I'm trying to have safestrap, a stock rom for the rare times I'll use the dock, and a light rom for daily use. Unless there is a better way around it?

CM11 seems the happiest, is there a summary for the roms? Or any other suggestions?

Cheers
[Motorola Droid 4] v8amg:
Also, is there any way of just installing the play store and google maps without all the other crap?
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
16gb is all partitions , before formating, and installing system, and bloatware files
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
For Stock Rom you can use this.

For CM11 you can use this.
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
In my stock rom there are some gapps that i left inside because a lot of user use them but personally i do not use any gapps and for this i create this patch that will completely delete every gapps in the rom.

This patch can be installed from who uses original stock rom or my stok rom.

Hi all.

After using the Standard One X for the last couple of years, I came across the deal of a lifetime on a mint One X+ from a person i know well, so I know it's not too good to be true etc etc....but it's sim locked.

Does anyone know the most reliable and trustworthy place, preferably in the UK to get it Sim unlocked online, for a nice cheap price, before I root it etc and install custom ROM?

Any help will be very much appreciated.:good:

pls somebody should help me explain how to change the dir of my ringtone to mp3 either using my phone memory or storage card.

i have an 02 xda with processor arm sa1110, 63.20mb and version 3.0.12039

pls help somebody. the windows ringtone is really freakin me out.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] levenum:
Ok fella, take a deep breath. The ringtone will not hurt you, though it is a bit annoying.:D

If you want to set a different ring-tone copy the file you want (mp3 or WMA) to \windows\rings or \My Documents or the root of your SD card (\Storage card).

Then go to Start->Settings>Sounds and notifications.

In the list select 'Incoming call' then browse for the proper sound for that event.

It is not recommended to keep ring-tones on SD card because it is disconnected during standby so you may still get the default ring because the file is not accessible right away.

You can also assign individual ring-tones to your contacts simply by selecting the desired file in the proper field when creating or editing a contact.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dasky:
re help

Thanx a lot but it's still the same.

I did all you said but still the same thing.

From the drop down box in settings/sounds & notifications/incoming call, my selected ringtone (wma or mp3) is not even showing for me to select it.

Is there something am doing wrong? Pls help:confused:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
So I went to take a picture today and noticed a black mark on my camera (not the actual one bjt when I open it) I looked st the physical camera and its clean no searches marks or dirty. I cleaned it anyway and the mark persisted. I've tried 4 camera apps, 5 backups (Nandroid) and I can't figure out why it's there. It only showed up this morning and I'm out of ideas.

Does anyone else have this issue, or has anyone had this happen to them before?

I'm going to call moto for a RMA later tonight but I wanted to check here first. There's a picture down below of the issue its in the upper left corner. Enjoy the random poorly taken photos of the issue.

Edit: this issue doesn't exist in video mode, so it must be a software problem. Ill try restoring to stock and see if the issue persists.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibmikey1:
Have you contacted the developer of the ROM you're using? Try looking through the forum of it and see if this is an issue for others as well. Other than that, re-flashing the rom would seem to be the best course.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celeriL:
I have the exact same problem before on my Xperia Z camera. It was the camera sensor, probably dust. Had to send my phone in to have the camera module changed.

I have version 5.0.1 with pattern lock, with the apps Lockwatch & Smart Lockscreen Protector.

But it's useless when anyone can just access the quick settings from the lockscreen and switching off Wifi/Data or turning on airplane mod..

There is any way to block access to this toggles? Or even to the whole Quick Settings?

I can live without access to the flashlight in lockscreen if that a problem..

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RonAmihai:
Im unlocked, but "clean" rooted (stock rom+recovery+kernel with cf-auto root).

Since google added SELinux at enfoce mod by default in Lollipop (which avoids OTA installing at any state of Root), i'm considring to install a custom room.

But if to be honest, I really don't want to (I hate to mess around with all that thanks the crappy Galaxy S3 I had.. I bought the Nexus 5 in thought I could stay with stock+OTA and enjoy "clean" root+Xposed.. Apparently Google had other plans :()

So if someone have an idea to avoid access to wifi/data/aiplane mod toggles from lockscreen, I will be happy to hear.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
As already stated, only with custom ROM. There is no other answer.

By the way, I had an s3. This phone is completely different. Don't let the s3 put you off flashing on the n5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatnoway:
what

Anyone can press the power button on your phone too.

Quick access to the radios is useful.

Until 4.2/4.2.2 anyone could just connect a cable to your phone and use ADB to pull everything off.

Don't give your phone to strangers or place in unsafe places.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
None of this is possible with a locked screen. Accessing the radios on a locked screen can prevent you tracking it. Sure, like you say, it can be turned off not another issue is accessing the guest account and installing malicious apps and making calls. Bit of a security hole if you ask me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 31ken31:
That really don't matter. I wanna steal ur phone I'm booting recovery and wiping then pattern lock won't matter or quick settings menu.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Not with a recovery lock and locked bootloader. At least my data is safe. Whats wrong with wanting a safe phone? Why have a lock at all if it can be semi-bypassed by quick settings.

You're right though, would be nice of TWRP also had recovery lock. At least we still have philz for now.

But yeah, I can get YOUR data no matter what you do, even after factory reset, but doesn't mean everyone can.

Its kind of like say "dont bother locking your doors because we can break your windows". We all still lock our doors.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurci2:
I also think that this is a very serious issue.

When I lock my phone I want it to be locked completely not partially.

Have anyone figured how to disable quick access on locked screen (locked with password, pin or pattern)?

And also to remove camera icon?

The only thing i want on my lock screen is to enter my password and see notifications (this is something I am able to do alredy =))

Thank you!

I am hoping on an xposed module :angel:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wykopki:
The 'Quick settings' menu can be edited - when the phone is unlocked open quick settings panel and tap and hold any of its icons, you will be allowed to remove or add some functionalities. Just remove 'airplane mode' and 'mobile data'. This way when the phone is locked no one can disable its connectivity.

The drawback is that you can't switch the airplane mode easily even when the phone is unlocked.

NEW: YOU SHOULD UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER : http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/development/tools-create-unlock-img-fix-boot-img-t3050689

Hi !

Since [MENTION=4450207]vortox[/MENTION] found and created an unlock method (!) for our devices (see original development section) you'll find here twrp recovery for the 7" kindle fire hdx (Thor).

WARNING

THIS OPERATION IS DANGEROUS

THE ONLY WAY TO RECOVER FROM A RECOVERY PROBLEM IS TO HAVE A WORKING SYSTEM ROM

Installation (from stock rom)

Be sure to have a rooted, 7" hdx with firmware <= 13.3.2.3 (for bootloader compatibility)

Use an application from the market to flash the recovery image like Rashr or Flashify (from vortox)

OR use dd application from a root shell : "dd of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery if=/sdcard/twrp.img"

Installation (from twrp)

Flash zip file from twrp recovery...

Download

Please see [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] thread for up to date recovery : http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/development/recovery-twrp-recovery-2-8-1-0-apollo-t2991155

Hi !

First post updated with download link ! I'm unable to test the recovery myself as i own an unlocked device so thanks to wait for some experienced users to report back. If the recovery is not working for you then you can boot to your system rom and restore your backed up recovery from there...

Thanks to [MENTION=4450207]vortox[/MENTION] again and happy new year !

It should work from any rom/configuration as soon as you have root and a rom <= 3.2.4 (version to be confirmed).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] derpadoodle:
I tried applying the recovery with flashify on 3.2.4 and it hasn't worked as far as I can tell, though I didn't remove safestrap yet. It just gets stuck on grey kindle fire logo 9/10 boots then finally gets into safestrap. Don't really want to remove my only safety net unless it's confirmed I have to.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Cpasjuste:
Did you try to power on the device with volume up to trigger the recovery ? Else maybe 3.2.4 is too late for the recovery sig exploit.
