No, just try resetting to factory defaults (obviously, back up everything important), you can do it either through the menu or the recovery.

[General Topics] MrPresident:
thanks, im still looking through some of those links. but from my first impression it looks like those links provide programs to rotate the whole theme rather than just the background pic. Do you know if this is the case?
[General Topics] Rudegar:
if so just change the search to something like this

http://www.google.dk/search?hl=da&q=today+theme+switcher&btnG=Søg&meta=lr=lang_da|lang_en
[General Topics] MrPresident:
That's still searching for something that changes the entire theme, isn't it?

What I want is something to just change the wallpaper/background from a directory with many background images.

I tried searching google for "wm5 change backgrounds" but couldn't find what I was looking for. (my google skills suck)

Maybe I just don't understand how a theme changer could change my backgrounds for me.

Please advise.

Thank you.

For flashing back to previous stock rom download the stock rom from sammobile or samsung-updates.com and flash it with Odin.

I know this topic . But Samsung has new security on new Stock Firmware updates. All users have new updates said that .

Please explain it ,

I have downloaded old stock rom on sammobiles. But How to flash it ?

as a normal flashing ? without root ?

Sorry I am a beginnger user for this.

[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] devesh9:
Dear friend,

Install USB Drivers or install Samsung Kies . kies will install the necessary drivers automatically.

1. First be sure USB Debugging is checked in ur device ( Settings/Developer Options/USB Debugging )

2. Extract the Odin file from the zip.

3. Open Odin3 (Run As Administrator).

4. Put your device in download mode. To do so, press Volume Down And Home And Power Button all together and when it vibrates release Power Button but keep others pressed. You should have a triangle with an android janitor while it's saying downloading ..VOL UP TO CONTINUE...

5. Now connect USB to PC ,you should see a blue rectangle with COM:xx and saying Added. It means that your device is ready to be flashed!

6. Go into the PDA section and select your .tar file.( stock ROM file)

7. Dont check any other option (F.reset time and Auto reboot are checked by default).

8. Now click Start.

9. When it's finished, it should say that "Res OK" or "PASS"in Odin.

10. Now the phone will restart and you will have the stock firmware as per your requirements.

You don't need root to flash ROM thru Odin.

If you want to root search for framaroot.apk in XDA .

Hi. First, sorry the bad english :silly:

I need to fix a Xperia Z1, model C6932. (Brazillian)

It has signal, the 3G works perfectly, and 2G too.

When I try to make a call, it says "no cellphone signal".

The versions of Android that I tried was 4.4 and 4.2, but in both the same problem appears.

In the Status Bar, it shows No Signal, but... the 3G works :confused:

I don't know what more to do :(

PS: The chip works very well in another cellphone.

Thanks!

Running 4.4.4 - S-OFF and ROOTED - will official OTA unroot/corrupt ROM/brick me?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Just rooted? No system modifications? Reason I ask is that if you are simply rooted and haven't modified system files AND you have stock recovery installed the update will go through fine...after which you reinstall twrp and flash su.zip
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] j006:
Well, I have Xposed installed and a bunch of modules running so technically I have modified some system files, plus I have Clockwork recovery installed...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Thejimmynguyen:
I'm still on 4.4.3 with a viper rom. I'll probably have to update to 4.4.4 in order to get to 5.0.1 right? Will updating to 4.4.4 then 5.0 allow me to keep root still? Or can I just easily flash supersu.zip through adb sideload to access root again if lost?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pettigrew95:
I won't be putting lollipop on my phone until it gets Xposed support.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] berndblb:
With custom recovery = no OTA. Anyway, you are on 4.4.4. What do you want to OTA update to?

Just wait a few days after the next OTA release and you'll find the firmware files, RUU and such here on XDA, ready to be flashed in fastboot or via dottat's wonderful .exe's. Wait a few days more and your custom rom will get an update based on the latest release.

I would never chase an OTA......

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------

If you are S-off you can always flash a custom recovery and su in recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] j006:
I don't necessarily want to update, but HTC/Verizon is starting to push out the OTA for Lollipop. When I had my Incredible 2 (S-OFF/CWM recovery/rooted), VZW constantly nagged me with OTA update prompts until I edited a system (build.prop maybe? I can't remember) file to trick them into thinking I already had the latest. I just don't want a repeat of that, plus I'm really not interested in updating until Lollipop has full Xposed support!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] berndblb:
Go to Settings > Apps, swipe to All and disable HTC DM. Or, even better, freeze it in TiBu.

That should take care of any update notification.
[Android Software Development] Don_Paul:
Hi Guys (and Girls),

I'm trying to help a friend with a specific problem. She has an account (Badoo) which was blocked by Badoo; a friend used her account and abused it, and the result is that her account is blocked. Badoo refuses to unblock it. Even worse, when she creates a new account it is also blocked almost immediately, effectively making it impossible for her to use Badoo.

So, I try to help her with this - also because I like the technical challenge here. I've found out that if I create a new account, it stays active; but the moments she starts using it, it is blocked quite rapidly. Reason: they recognise her from before. It is not related to userid, name, email adress or any of the data uploaded. So, my only conclusion is that there must be *something* on her phone that is found; and the help file they have online suggest they install 'persistant tracking cookies' on mobiles.

Uninstalling the App does not work. So, there must be SOME files somewhere that are NOT deleted after uninstalling; and the moment you reinstall, they are found and the account is blocked (at least, that is my reasoning).

I've tried writing a small App to find something, but cannot find any way to do this. The way I understand it, all files created on Android should be linked to the App (so should have owner/groupid linked to the App). I therefore think it should be possible to find any files installed by an App, and just remove them. I was afraid they would be in the /data/data/... folder, but it looks like that folder is cleaned after uninstalling, so they are probably somewhere on the SD-card.

I expect a wipe of the phone will sort everything out, but unfortunately that is not an option.

Anybody has any idea how to proceed with this?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrPez:
I'm having trouble with my M7 with connecting to my pioneer AppRadio.

The problem started when I updated to Viperone 7.0.2 rom which included updating the firmware. Before that I was using the previous version of Viperone and had no issues, using the Appradio Unchained app. Now, when I connect the phone to the MHL cable I get an error on the stereo saying that the USB connection has been disabled for device protection and the connection shown on the phone constantly connects and then disconnects.

I thought the problem was with the app but I've uninstalled that and the connection still loops so I think there is some issue with the phone rather than the app.

I'm kind of lost as to where to start! Any ideas?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
Revert back to the previous version and see if the problem persists. If it does, then it might be the phone; if not, then it is the ROM.

I just downloaded and installed Orb on my home PC and after a few minutes setting up i can now remotely access my Sky+, VCR, DVDs and photos, music documents and videos on the PC all from my MDA Pro (or indeed any broadband connected PC) anyware its connected to the internet.

It uses Internet explorer and Windows media player on the PPC so there isn't even any software to install in our precious memeory.

And it WORKS :eek: (You need a media centre type pc to get live tv streamed) Considering how complex this all is I was amazed that for once it all worked with out hours of endless tweaking, and its free.

If only the media player display was proper full screen...sigh

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] manmikey:
How do you set TCPMP to be the default player for the various media? I read a couple of posts in various forums that say that media player starts up for live streams from orb even with TCPMP installed
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Pantaloonie:
Not got it in front of me right now, but I belive I simply set the file associations in TCPMP to handle the streams.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] airya:
Just set asx of file associate to TCPMP in option menu.

But best way should be upgrade your rom to WM6.

The Windows Media Player 10 boundle in WM6.

It's support full screen and more smooth than TCPMP in streaming play.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickS4:
Last week I've installed a new usb port for my S4, because the old one broke. I know you will most likely think I've connected it poorly or whatever, but I don't think so, because I've had the slow charging issue before that.

I've got a couple of chargers. A Xiaomi 10.400 mAh charger, the original samsung AC charger, my nexus 7 charger, a Chromecast charger and a generic one from some store. The Xiaomi charger used to charge my phone quite fast. While playing Clash of Clans, on middle-high brightness I would still get about 1% every 2 minutes or so. Same with the nexus 7 one.

Right now however, it's struggling to get charged. It seems like the battery is draining faster than it's charging. But I've recently rooted my phone and installed the 5.0 GPE version rom, and my battery life has never been better. Recently got to 12h with about 2-3h SOT and still 60% left, which made me really happy. But if I charge it and use it, I only get about 1% every 10-15 minutes. Which kinda sucks.. (Right now, my s4 is on 87% and according to the lockscreen prediction thingy, it takes 1h06min to get to 100, while not using the phone)

Has anyone seen this problem before or knows how to fix it?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Do you charge it at your PC/Laptop?

My phone also charged very slowly when connected to the PC.. This was on original firmware.

Now I'm using GPE ROM but I haven't charged it at a PC yet.

There are some options in the Googy Max settings regarding charging.

What if it's the battery?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickS4:
Nope, I charge it using a wallplug.

I must say it seems like my Xiaomi battery is charging my phone faster today. This afternoon it did about 30% an hour or something.

Edit: What it seems to be doing is charge fast at lower % battery, and charge slow on higher %. Is this a setting of something, perhaps?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
I have an app called battery doctor which has 3 charging stages. From X% to 80% theres a fast charge, then from 80% to 100% it (supposedly) reduces the current to ensure a full charge (basically it charges slower from 80 to 100%). I don't know what difference there is in charging time in those 2 stages. But you say it happens on different roms so either you have recently installed an app like battery doctor or it's something else.

Have you tried charging the phone while it's turned off to see if it charges faster or same as before?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickS4:
The only apps with root acces I have are system tuner, titanium backup and adaway. I uninstalled System Tuner, will see if that helps. And the only other thing that could do it is Googy-Max Stweaks.

I just turned the setting Charge Control Switch from disabled to Substitute AC to USB and got 7 % in 14 min. I feel it's quite a bit faster now. Gonna check it out while having Clash of Clans running. If it's still charging at 1% every 5 minutes, ill be happy :P
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickS4:
Just tested it for a bit, and went from 45 to 60% in 22 minutes. So I'm happy again :)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsmcmahon89:
I was running the NKD Odexed ROM, and out of nowhere my phone just froze up and eventually went to Upload Mode where I was able to see that my Modem Crashed. When I pulled the batter and restarted my phone, I had no mobile service, and my Baseband and Software information both say Unknown. I cannot reboot into recovery, it just keeps bootlooping . I was able to flash the NK4 full restore, but when that loads up, even though it shows the LTE icon, my mobile data network status is set to disconnected. I also cannot boot to recovery from NK4 or any 4.4 bootloader to restore a backup. Any help would be incredibly appreciated. I'll be more than happy to buy some beers for anybody who can help me with this. Sprint is unable to help me on their end.

Edit: I should also note that I've tried Odin'ing the NKD modem several times when I am on android L, and the NK4 when on 4.4, neither do a thing to help.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
I had almost the same problem yesterday and was able to restore my backup this morning.

Here's the steps I took:

1. Using Odin 3.10.0

2. Make sure your phone is completely off (battery pull if necessary).

3. Go into Download Mode (Volume Down, Home, Power), then Volume UP

4. Plug phone via USB to computer, run Odin. Make sure you have a blue ID:COM light in Odin.

5. Uncheck Auto-Reboot.

6. Odin either NE5 firmware or NK4 firmware (depending on what your nanoid was).

7. Wait till Odin gives you a PASS, unplug USB and immediately go into Recovery (Volume UP, Home, Power).

8. Restore your nanoid and reboot.

This is assuming you have an extSD card and your nanoid is on it. If you don't you'll need to get one. If you don't have a nanoid, copy the rom you want to flash onto extSD and replace step 8.

Edit: FYI, the firmware files include the modem and TWRP recovery.

Edit: My reading skills are a little slow today, if you prefer the firmware with Philz, here's NE5 and NK4 firmware with Philz.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsmcmahon89:
Unfortunately, I can't count how many times I've tried this, both the firmware with TWRP, and firmware with Philz, my recovery will not boot. I get RECOVERY BOOTING.... in blue, RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING in red and Set Warranty Bit : recovery in yellow. This lasts about 30 seconds, and then it reboots to the same thing. The only way to get out of the recovery bootloop is to flash a firmware and not try to boot into recovery after, but then stuck with my modemless problem :(.

I can't even just go back Stock everything because I won't have service, my phone is basically a paperweight at this time.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
Have you tried to odin the .tar version of Philz?

Thanks for your attempted help , I actually ran both a NI3 and NE5 restore today :P. It would be safe to say I am not a noob at this stuff, I think I just got me a lemon :-\. I've been doing this for way too long now, I just don't get it.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdunham:
Try to do a phone reset with ##786# from the dialer. It's possible the phone cant authenticate with the network and that is why you're not getting signal.

I think this wipes internal storage but its worth a try to begin.

Next...

Pull the SD and the Sprint sim card.

Odin custom recovery and wipe absolutely everything including internal storage.

Power off the phone again, either from the recovery menu or battery pull.

Reinsert the sim card only, no SDcard, and do FULL factory Odin tar install, not the mini-bootloaders.

Let the rom boot fully but skip logging into Google and anything else and go straight into settings/backup and reset/factory reset.

Reboot again and see how it goes.

As a last resort you can try to re-pit (repartition) the phone but lets see how it goes from here.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsmcmahon89:
I pulled the SD and Sim Card, and odin'd a custom recovery, but I cannot reach a custom recovery, just goes through the RECOVERY BOOTING.... boot loop explained in the OP. From there I've already done everything else close to 50 times now it just doesn't work.

When you go into settings/backup and restore/factory reset it's supposed to do something on it's own, mine just goes to recovery (ONLY IF STOCK RECOVERY IS INSTALLED OTHERWISE IT RECOVERY BOOTLOOPS) and the android guy falls over. It does not do the reset, I have to manually do it from stock recovery, but it doesn't seem to be helping.

Also, ##786# doesn't do anything. Neither does ##72786# as the Sprint rep was suggesting. My dialer (for one is lagging to all hell along with my keyboard) does not react, it just continues to show that #. This is on 100% stock too.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdunham:
It sounds like you corrupted your efs but I cant say for sure because I haven't seen it happen too often. You can always try to flash pit through odin and repartition. I'll attach the pit file in a zip so you can try it.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsmcmahon89:
It seems like I would be more likely to have luck on Android L because at least when I flash that I have a phone that somewhat functions, I am missing a modem, and can not get one to stick at all, but I can at least connect to wifi, log into gmail accounts and do anything else. Where as on a stock 4.4 refresh I have a sick lag, it shows I have a modem but I am not provisioned for data, and sprint support is no help. They want me to bring my phone to a tech which is not something I am looking to do knowing I tripped the KNOX flag.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsmcmahon89:
I odin'd that pit and tried to start fresh, no luck. I can't thank you guys enough for your continued effort

Edit: I am reading this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2610757

I have never used the Nand Erase All or Phone EFS Clear options in Odin, but this seems like it might help?

2nd Edit: After flashing the PIT file with NE5 stock rom I achieved data. Now I have an incredibly laggy stock rom, which might just have to do for now, because I still can't get to a custom recovery.

I did not use Nand Erase All or Phone EFS Clear, but am still very interested.
