[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Pkyr:
Hi, please help me with this as I am at a complete lost with what to do. Also please forgive any errors as this is all new to me (and yes, I realize I shouldn't have been fooling around in the first place if that was the case...), and forgive me if I am posting in the wrong spot. I'm also a little confused as to where I should post this question.

I recently rooted my phone using towel root and followed the steps from wolfdroid for samsung galaxy phones with 4.4.2.

I had some problems with wifi so I wanted to go back to stock firmware. Following another wolfdroid video on reflashing stock for S5 I did the following...What I did was I downloaded the firmware from SamMobile, with the correct phone model, etc. I then put that into odin (the AP option, and then hit start), and it failed. My phone managed to reset and work normally, but I tried it again (and to be honest it's a little hazy what I did next), and that failed, and now my phone wouldn't work and shows the 'firmware upgrade encountered an issue' screen.

I managed to write this info down before I rooted if this helps the cause...

Android: 4.4.2

Model: SGH-I337M (Canadian)

Build: KOT49H.1337MVLUFNI2

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Xda Assist folks!

I would like to find or figure out a general way to turn old Android 2.1 phones into "Kiosk Mode"

Video Play units.

That would be that the phone....

1) gets powered up

2) does not get stopped at a swipe to start screen

3)autostarts a video player

4) the video player is in FULLSCREEN LOCK MODE, all buttons disabled, swipe/ gestures disabled,

(or as much as possible)

5) The player plays the video or videos in PLAY ALL LOOP FOREVER mode.

Why? A silly art project!

Ebay is full of $10 beaten up old Android phones with bad ESN's,

No sim card / CDMA, etc

I have tried a simple app "Auto Start_2.1.apk"

But it will not engage until after the swipe screen.

I tried older versions of VLC and MX player, Mx player seems to be cleaner, but neither seem to like .mu3 type playlist files.

I am no code wizard, i can follow instrcutions, and have rooted and unlocked a Softbank ZTE blade after much sweat, but would love to come up with an easy solution.. Like

1) do this for no swipe screen

2) use this to launch

3) use this player set like this to play all the video files in this folder forever.

4) Oh ... of course the screen doesn't timeout

Any suggestions?

Lets find a use for all those all Android phones on the scrapheap!

Thanks

Hello, I got a tablet, I could open it to properly put the power button because the previous owner had had pressed too hard.

I realized that he had opened because the activation button to the right of the power button was to off.

I wanted to know if it is possible it is to forget to reconnect the water table that manages the tactile part.

Because I have a display without the touchscreen does not work, my tablet is stuck on the factory configuration screen. Thank you in advance for your answers.

May I know how to boot into safe mode? My CM1 is now in boot loop. I want to go into safe mode to do a reset. Getting recovery will be better but I don't know if there is way to go into it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybriks:
Did the same with good success. However, yesterday Panasonic released a new update, which I am unable to install (probably due to the changes made during root). Unrooting through super su did not help, neither did a factory reset. I reckon, in order to be able to flash an official update, we'd have to go back and flash a stock image first. However, those don't seem to be available for download anywhere.

Any ideas?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybriks:
To sum up (in order to keep it documented even here):

While having root, you could try to install FlashFire (if you haven't already), one of Chainfire's amazing tools.

Download the .dat-file to your phone and start to flash it with FlashFire. This will most certainly fail, but instead of simply rebooting upon failure, FlashFire should swiftly show you an error-message about some file not being in original state. Either you try to catch this message -- or you take a look at FlashFire's log after the reboot. It should be available in Internal memory > FlashFire > lastlog. Hunt down the altered file and fix the problem. For instance:

there might be different versions of the file, one of which ending in .orig. Simply replace the offending file with the .orig-file and retry the flashing.

If that's not the case, download the update file (.dat) for the version you are currently running on your device directly from Panasonic (i.e. not the update you are trying to install -- but the update which brought you to your current version). Rename the .dat-file, to .zip, extract it and try to locate the missing file. Copy it over to your CM1 and try flashing again (thanks JPCoetzee for that tip!)

Stupid Mistake

Hello everyone,

1st time poster here. There are so much great information on the forum. Sorry for the long post !

I just did a stupid thing that send my CM1 into a boot loop. Any help would be much appreciated.

I think I know what cause it but I can't fix it because I can't get into the recovery or fastboot. (By the way is it volume DOWN + power for CM1?)

So this is what I did before the boot loop happened. Tried to upgrade to latest firmware (12.03) but fail because of Xposed and Root. I uninstalled and unrooted. Still no luck in installing the update. Until I found this thread. (about replacing the app_process32)

After which I attempted to re-root with king root (It said successful root the first time was able to grant es explorer root) Then I wasn't able to copy app_process32 into /system/bin because it is read only. So I though I didn't root properly and this time when I opened kingroot it says I don't have root anymore.

When I try to reboot after this the CM1 got stuck ina boot loop. I think it is because I renamed the app_process32 into something else and don't have a file with the name in there. (There is a app_process file in there though, do you guys have that file?)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonheart67:
Hi !

I'm in the same situation , I boot on the recovery, but I can't enter in download mode. Does the cm1 has a mod download.

Sorry for my bad english
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strongtium:
Leon,

How did you get into recovery mode? Might be able to fix mine if I could get into recovery.

You should try connect to yours using ADB (Android Debug Bridge).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonheart67:
My phone boot directly on recovery. But with this recovery i can't connect to my pc. And i can't find "install zip from sd card. I can just rebbot system, wipe data, wipe cache, shut down , and see log from recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strongtium:
Mmm. I think you are in a different situation to me then. My one is a bootloop and your one boot straight into recovery.

So you sure your computer can't detect the phone.

Maybe try read the log to see what is wrong, clear the cache and try again.

I think we need help from more experienced people.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strongtium:
Does anyone know the correct key combination to get into Recovery or Download mode.

That would be very helpful because I am trying to connect to adb on a bootlooped phone.

Thanks !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strongtium:
Its the weekend so I finally get a chance to give fixing the phone a try.

Unfortunately still no luck.

The only thing I found is that the button for booting into recovery seems to be volumn +, volume - and power button. Hold it till it reaches starting system then reboot. Then you can let go.

My computer is picking it up as DMC-CM1 storage device and a ADB thing. But unfortunately can't access storage and device show up as unauthorised on adb.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonheart67:
Hey !! Can you say what you see in recovery ? I can't connect to my computer.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strongtium:
Sorry, haven't have internet the whole week at home (no phone line either). Still working on sorting this out.

Well I can't see anything in recovery, the phone didn't actually go into recovery screen. I only said its recovery because for a phone to be picked up by ADB it must be in either Recovery or Download Mode. Currently my CM1 is showing up as unauthorized because I never connected to my computer in debig mode. If I can authorize my CM1 then I might be able to fix it.

Have you setup ADB properly on your computer? There is a 1 click ADB install you can find in forum so you don't have to download the whole SDK.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terrywct:
I must tell you the cruel but true thing, you're NOT in recovery mode. CM1 has a recovery mode like the other Android phone. If you really get into it, you will boot to a familiar recovery screen which has the choices to wipe and factory reset.

I do get there when my phone was in boot-loop by entering ADB command "adb reboot recovery". Of course you need to have the USB debug enabled in CM1 and the PC you used has been authorized once before. However, I was stupid enough :silly: to select "Factory Reset" in recovery mode to try to solve the boot-loop problem. But the boot-loop problem was not solved and the USB debug was gone too. I can't get into recovery mode any more and I have to send my phone back to Panasonic.

As no one find the fastboot or download mode for CM1, the update must be done by something else.Ｉ suspect CM1 uses ADB sideload to install the update.

For those whose CM1 were rooted and were in boot-loop but still can get connected to CM1 with ADB. I suggest you may try the following before you send your phone back to Panasonic.

1. Download the latest firmware update from Panasonic http://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/dsc/download/CM1/index1.html

2. Rename the XXXXXX.DAT file to update.zip. (I have done it and I can confirm the update file is a zip file)

3. Copy the update.zip to your ADB directory.

4. Connect your PC to CM1 by "adb devices"

5. Run "adb reboot recovery" and wait for it to reboot into recovery mode

6. Run adb sideload update.zip

7. Wait until you see "sending: 'sideload' 100%" (on your PC)

Wait and see if my guess is correct and if you're lucky enough. ;)

I take no responsibility for bricking your phone, anyway, your phone is already bricked. So doing what I said won't do any more harm to your phone.

New user trying to root

Just purchased the phone and ran all prompted updates. I tried many one click root apps (Kingoroot, Kingroot, Root Genious, One Click root, Root Master) without success. Is there a working method at the moment?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strongtium:
First of all thanks for the reply (terrywct). I have decided to send it in for repair 2 or so weeks ago.

At the end I seems to have lost root and certainly never had the authorization. Tried to do lots of research to find how I can bypass authorization but there seems to be no way.

Would be nice to know the button combination for recovery though.

shantu you might have to run kingroot more than once (Sometimes it just don't work first time). It worked for most of us. Unless Panasonic have patched them.

Which combinations of KingRoot and SuperSu Me worked for you guys?

KingRoot works however I can't seem to find a version of SuperSu Me that works.

On the newer versions it always gets stuck when "processing" right at the beginning of the first stage.

On older versions I always have the problem that it seems to partly remove KingRoot, I lose root and no SuperSu.

Is there anything I might be missing? This is my first Android though I can't find anything I might be doing wrong.

PS: Android version 5.0.2., I installed any updates that were prompted.

PPS: Now I am stuck in a ****ing bootloop appearantly. After trying KingRoot 4.5 and SuperSu Me 6.7 it finally worked at least I thought it did until I realised I'm in a bootloop. This is ridiculous at this point

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strongtium:
Yeah Kingroot did work for me. You can't actually just switch to SuperSu after because they don't like each other. You have to follow switch procedure online.

As your first Android you should be very careful with this stuff (A more common phone would make this lots easier). I feel your bootloop pain.

I send mine to repair for Bootloop too (But different problem to yours). That is the only real option unless you can access download mode and push firmware in.

Ok, so I recently got my phone back after it was stuck in a bootloop.

I'm now having the same issue that I had before. SuperSu Me gets stuck at processing right at the beginning. For some reason nobody else trying to root their DMC-CM1 seems to have that problem.

Are there any steps that I'm missing? I can't seem to find anything that I'm doing wrong?

Is there a way to manually replace KingRoot with SuperSu?

Right now I'm using the latest version of KingRoot and SuperSu Me. I'm wary of trying older versions since that was what got me stuck in a bootloop the last time around.

Rooting with KingRoot seems to work like a charm. Never had a single failed attempt there. It's only SuperSu Me that fails every single time.

Someone here mentioned a "proper procedure" for doing this however I can't any "proper procedures". Even the developer himself says that you can simply install Supersu me and run it anytime you want

EDIT: Ok. After reading up on this whole thing a bit. Has anyone ever succesfully installed XPosed on their DMC-CM1?

EDIT 2: Alright, so after hours of clicking buttons like a mad script kiddie I got SuperSu working, including XPosed. I seem to be the only one but in case SuperSu Me doesn't work for someone else:

www_thedroidway_com/how-to-replace-kinguser-with-supersu-app/ this guide finally did the trick for me.

XPosed was succesfully installed with Flashfire. Right now I have only the XPrivacy module running. But so far haven't bricked my phone
