[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamdarkyoshi:
My i537 (Galaxy S4 Active ATT) crashes after booting it up, and due to the fact that I have no custom recovery (none were available) I cannot get any of my data off of internal storage. I got really mad and smashed the phone (do not ask, I have anger issues...) and had to shell out 100$ for a replacement screen, and the problem still persists. It runs fine for about 10 seconds, and then slows down and reboots, also getting quite hot. The rom is the stock rom, latest rootable version, and used to be rooted. I tried removing root, safe mode, removing SD/SIM, airplane mode, and extended battery removal. Nothing helps. Can anyone help me AT LEAST recover the data I have on the internal storage? After that I guess that I will flash the stock firmware (for the 50th time, as one bootloop=start from the beginning) and hopefully it lives, but I am SO bummed that I spend 100 bucks fixing a phone that still doesnt work :(
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] RafaelAlmeidatk:
Hello, today I tried root my Samsung Galaxy Win Duos (Grand Quattro), but I'm with some problems.

First of all, here's my device info:

Model

GT-I8552B

Version

4.1.2 (Android)

I'd downloaded the files to do the root, such like Odin3 and the CWM. I go to Download Mode and connect on Odin, start, all works perfect. But when it terminates, I see a message in my device:

SECURE : Signature verification failed

After it, I continue following the tutorial, I retire the battery and enter in the Recovery Mode. But the screen stay black, all I can do is press Home + Power to the phone reboot. After it, he turn on and works normally, without evidence of root.

I already tried it maybe 4 times with differents .tar or .md5, but never works. If I enter the Recovery Mode after all that, it works, but is the normal Recovery Mode. I go to "apply update from SDCARD" and when I enter, the system give me a error:

E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]

If you don't understand, read again, please, I'm training my english and I didn't used the Google Translate this time (yay!).

So, how to proceed?
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] RafaelAlmeidatk:
Well, I solved my problem using the Framaroot (Gandalf as exploit) to root the device.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmyshkin:
Is there a version that I can successfully sideload onto a stock Nook HD? I use ADB to sideload.

What I've tried: the last available Market version (found from another source). A slightly earlier version (2.0). The last version available from the Market before it disappeared installed OK but was unstable. Version 2.0 and others I've tried fail to install, complaining about signatures. I'm guessing this is because GenieWidget is actually a system app (although it will run outside the system/app folder) and so its signature has to match the rest of the Google system?

Any thoughts or success stories?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wellersl:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord_JABA:
I noticed that official firmware got up to kitkat and I decided to give it a try.

I found this page http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-N7105/

but in search I got only options for Poland(Plus) -PLS and Poland(Play) - PRT and I bought mine for full price from independent retailer(not in carrier shop but phone shop) -

No simlock, no branding , no carrier bloatware.

Is that means no official firmware updates for me? What version should I install - I don't want to accidentally activate simlock or carrier bloatware.

If I cant have official updates because I paid FULL PRICE for my phone that will be pretty ****ed up - to much to be true, I hope ...

PS. Maybe this will help get the answer. From under battery sticker

ffc id: not relevant?

Hi guys, I installed the Windows Live Package from http://www.live-messenger.nl/download/WindowsLive.PPC2005_ARM.CAB. It worked perfect, now i wanted to know how much memory this app costed, so i uninstalled it again. But when i tried to install it again, it failed:confused: When i open the cab, it loads approx. 5 seconds in the installer, then the installer says Installation of WindowsLive.PPC2005_ARM.CAB has failed:confused: Anybody suggestions how i can get this work??

p.s. Without a hard reset:(
[Wing, P4350 General] fdez.romero:
I have also done the same thing and get the same error. I had to uninstall Windows Live Mobile because I was getting an error everytime I tried to launch Live Messenger. Now I can't re-install it again.

I have 2 main ideas:

1st.: Microsoft is cutting the service from these "un-official" releases of their software, as they are trying now to sell Windows Mobile 6 and Windows Live can't be downloaded or installed let's say "legally".

2nd. (which doesn't affect the first one): Microsoft recognizes the WLM software as not pre-installed or being installed on a Windows Mobile 5 device and tells the client to get "blocked", I mean, it writes some values to the registry and prevents being launched or installed again showing the empty error message I had before unistalling it.

Someone can verify any of my ideas or bring a solution to have WLM working again on our WM5 devices?

Thanks in advance.
[Wing, P4350 General] The Dutchman:

[Wing, P4350 General] dave106:
neither of those are correct, the reason is thats its a beta and expired at the beginning of the month. therefore you cant run the program or install it. just get a new beta version by signing up to Microsoft Connect or use the older version thats been extracted from wm6 thats floating around here.
[Wing, P4350 General] ASerg:

The version The Dutchman posted was in English, but I find out that the Aserg's file was several kB bigger... That made me think and decided to install this bigger one and finally got Windows Live Mobile working in Spanish, just like before my beta had expired.

So thank you again guys!

I sent my bricked Note 3 to MobileTechVideos for repair three weeks ago and haven't heard anything from them. Their responses were prompt when they were trying to sell me their service, but after I sent them my phone/money they disappeared off the face of the Earth. Their website claims to be "down for maintenance" and the phone number listed on the prompt thing is invalid. I have sent them two emails with no responses yet. Are they still around? They got a lot of praise here on XDA so I was hoping that they were legit, but I have a feeling I'm going to be out $60 and a Note 3 :mad:

[General Topics] Elya_Dragon:
Is it soft or hard bricked?

- Elya
[General Topics] Face_Plant:
Soft bricked.

Here's the story:

In case anyone doesn't know, the AT&T Note 3 had a locked bootloader so attempting to flash a kernel or ROM that included a kernel would soft brick it. There were almost no ROMs for this phone, so I had been toying with some from the international Note 3 section. Before flashing them I would make sure they did not include a kernel or AROMA installers. This was working just fine until I forgot to make sure a ROM didn't include a kernel. After flashing it I got the black screen of death and couldn't get into Odin mode, recovery, or Safestrap. I tried a USB jig (verified working on my Galaxy Nexus and Note 4) to force it into Odin mode with no luck. An unbrick image didn't work either.

I was hoping JTAG would work, but according to MobileTechVideos I need a new motherboard for an additional $200. I had already dropped $800 on a Note 4 so I'm just gonna keep my Note 3 on my desk as an expensive reminder to be more careful next time.
[General Topics] Elya_Dragon:
Ahw so sad....

Just to correct, your phone is hard bricked.

I hope you and your phone get well soon.

[General Topics] connexion2005:
Hey there,

For clarification it actually really needed alternate eMMC programming. JTAG is fused close on many variants of the Note 3 and if sdcard unbricking won't suffice, then direct programming is needed. So your logic board is not bad so to speak, but yet just requiring a lower level programming service. I'm very sorry though for the experience you had with us and I regret deeply using your time and resources on this ordeal.

Thanks again for the opportunity to have worked for you and good luck moving forward with it!

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] perceptualdoor:
It's a pretty common fact now that compared to most other smart phones, the Droid Turbo volume just does not get very loud, in fact it's rather quiet. I'm not looking to blow out my ears, but I'd like to be able to comfortably hear who I'm speaking with on the phone (w/o distortion), and having sufficient (it's at least a few notches lower than my previous iphone 5s) volume through the headphones is absolutely essential for me as the music player is the most important part of the phone for me, aside from call/text. How do I increase the volume? I believe it can be found in the build script, but it seems a little more in-depth than other phones. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] adrynalyne:
Nobody has an answer because there is no fix. Root is needed to modify volumes past stock.

Turn off audio effects for headphone. Place speaker grille (not glass) at the middle of your ear when talking. Use custom ringtones for increased volume if the stock ones aren't loud enough.

I personally find it all to be plenty loud.

I went through multiple replacements for this issue. Evidently, the new unit I received (assembled 12/15/14) does not exhibit a volume problem. I think there is an issue with many of the units out in the wild, but it is unclear if there will be/can be a software fix without root. For those with defective devices, no amount of settings changes to the stock software seem to work. I would contact Verizon wile you have the opportunity to do so. Keep in mind, however, that you are opening a can of worms. It might take a few replacements to get one with better volume.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] JLTSKFL:
For the Droid Turbo 1 there are two speakers in the handset. The speaker for non-speakerphone calls is slightly to the right of center as you look at the face of the phone. Try sliding the phone back and forth across your ear while in a call. It took me a couple of weeks to figure this out. If your ear isn't right over the speaker, part of your ear will cover it and actually block the volume. I believe to the left of center is the speakerphone speaker.

Quiet Speakers_Droid Turbo

My phone had overly quiet speakers as well. I tried numerous online fix suggestions without any change in performance. However, when I replaced my Droid battery and reassembled the phone, the speaker volume was noticeably louder to the point that I would consider the volume improvement as adequate. I'm not sure why changing the battery would change the volume performance (possibly knocked out some speaker dust/debris when disassembling/reassembling), but that's what happened.

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

I had quiet speakers as well, but after replacing the battery and reassembling the phone, the volume levels came up to adequate performance levels. I was replacing the battery because the original was failing. It was not my idea that a battery swap would change the phone's volume performance, but that's what happened for me.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
What you want is impossible.

Each program has a different way of storing its registration after the necessary codes have been entered. Usually it is hidden somewhere deep so it would be more difficult to find and there fore the program would be more difficult to crack.

So while you can easily add registry entries to a cab using CE Cab Manager (google it) unless you know exactly how each of your apps stores its registration (which may not even be in registry) there is nothing you can do.
