[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] armedmetallica:
That's funny -- i'm getting the same -- the only difference I noticed from mrvanx's screenshot was that mine says "IPL-1.00" on the 2nd line.

I sent him a PM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] gerald_s:
1.) Do you have Windows Vista or XP?

There's a seperate guide for upgrading under Vista. Whats Mini XP Home?

2.) Do you have .Net 2.0 installed on your desktop? If not please make an upgrade.

Try the radio upgrade again, don't use autodedect and mark the boxes

.) SPL-1.11/1.13/1.30/1.35/1.40 New Bootloader

AND

.) is it a Hard SPL?

DO NOT MARK "Force Using SSPL"

I did it exactly this way some days ago without any problems.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrvanx:
My guide is only intended for genuine XP users, i cannot guarantee that this "copy" of windows is fully functional...sorry!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sparky77:
vista

In vista i get a Error Box "Unknown version! Should pick SSPL"
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] gerald_s:
Once again:

Try the radio upgrade again, don't use autodedect and mark the boxes

.) SPL-1.11/1.13/1.30/1.35/1.40 New Bootloader

AND

.) is it a Hard SPL?

DO NOT MARK "Force Using SSPL"

As you are now using Vista have a look at mrvanx vista guide first.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrvanx:
If the box says, you should choose SSPL....do it ffs!!!

Im not sure if your doing this stuff correctly but like the post above this says you need to config vista first.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Schooleydoo:
Ive got this error on XP SP2 and on Vista on two different computers and two different cables.

Just used the boxes above instead, no big deal.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] tomcroft:
Schooleydoo, did you try either of the above conflicting suggestions? I've got the same problem. Legitimate XP with .NET 2 and all current updates. SPL-1.40.Olipro loaded on JAs Jam no problems. Now NEITHER the radio upgrade, (1.40.30) nor the WM6 (Pro_Black_2.0) RUU's correctly detect the SPL version in the first step. Which boxes to manually check is in doubt and not helped by conflicting posts above. Did you persue this Schooleydoo? Did you take the risk and try one?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrvanx:
If you have SPL 1.40, select the third option (which has 1.40 mentioned) and tick "is it hard-spl?".

How is this confusing!?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] armedmetallica:
MrVanx -- i think i know what the problem here is..

it's that "unsigned blah blah blah error"

ppl stare at the screen of the machine, not the device. right before it "fails" to find and auto detect, a warning shows up on the device asking permission to run.

i have custel's 1.3 and used htweakc to allow unsigned in security tab (WM5 ppl can find this in the wiki and just about everywhere else on this site). This should enable auto detect to work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Donnyuga:
I'm having a similar issue. When I click autodetect it asks if my device is sync'd and I click yes. It then says it can't detect it. I've done everything the guide tells me to do up 'til this point and I can't figure it out. I might try to check the boxes like you said above.

Update: I have version SPL:2.10 on mine and I accidentally clicked the 3rd option with 1.41 on it and it worked fine. I'm upgraded and am running w/o problems. No on to the WM6 black install.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] peezy:
I have had this problem too. I continued through the errors and everything worked. I posted my problem here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=303436&highlight=errors

Someone noted that most the devs are using the most recent .net framework. I only upgraded to 2.0, not sure if theres anything more recent than that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] todd_jg:
People having autodetect problems, please check this thread for the latest RUU. It will autodetect past version 1.4. As Donnyuga noted, it is also fine to just click the third option, that works too. Updating and using autodetect is just a little more error proof.

[General Questions and Answers] crustysmooth:
I know a lot of it comes down to a matter of personal preference and opinion, but in terms of sheer processing power, hardware and functionality what would some of you tech gurus consider to be the top 3 phones and tablets?

And additionally, where do Xiaomi and the OnePlus fit in? Any insight would be helpful. I'm really just curious if the IPhone and Galaxy are best around or just the most heavily marketed.
[General Questions and Answers] MustangLife03:
Samsung Galaxy Note Edge would be my first pick. And its a little bit better than the Galaxy Note 4. 2015 is a year of some big releases but as far as late 2014 early 2015. LG G3 or Curve. One plus One, HTC One M8. Samsung Galaxy S5. Phone technology now is huge compared paslike 2009 or 2010 when there was a "best phone" which was the iphone but now all manufacturers even the Tier 2 or Tier 3 companies have amazing phones. Everybody has quad and octi cores now. Everybody has 2-3gb ram i think 4gb will be a standard coming soon. So it comes down to phone size, look of the phone and individual features cause Go I got e, Moto, HTC, LG, Sony, Samsung, etc etc all have strong, powerful feature rich devices
[Xposed General] pyler:
After I change some settings in module, my device immediatelly reboots. Not sure what causes this.

FATAL EXCEPTION IN SYSTEM PROCESS: XSharedPreferences-load [MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION]

I took logcat.

Full log: http://tny.cz/5754f922
[Xposed General] defim:
Maybe related, it occurs only "rarely":

W/XSharedPreferen(10796): type=1400 audit(0.0:397): avc: denied { open } for name="preferences.xml" dev="mmcblk0p30" ino=376838 scontext=u:r:system_server:s0 tcontext=u:object_r:app_data_file:s0 tclass=file
[Xposed General] pyler:
If you have quite enough hooks (=settings for them) and you change these settings (all/almost all of them) sometimes device reboots suddenly. Not good thing. Any solution?

I read in docs that "reload" may be on enforced selinux "extensive". What exactly does [MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION] mean? Should we worry or not?"
[Xposed General] rovo89:
It actually says "expensive", i.e. it needs way more resources (time, CPU ticks) in situations where the native services have to be used in order to work around SELinux restrictions. I haven't done performance tests, but I wouldn't call this function once a second or so.

How often do you call reload()? The error you posted looks like the file is read while it's being written. In the full log, four (!) errors are shown between the start of dex2oat process 2409 and it's end 284.616ms later. So it seems like you call reload() very frequently. Even with possible fixes to come, you should really avoid that. If you can't find a place to reload the settings just when they've been changed (or in a function that is called at most every few seconds), create a helper function that stores the timestamp of the last reload and only calls through to XSharedPreferences every few seconds.

I plan to make the exception messages more exact by filling them from the native side. Length = 0 is misleading here, it actually means that the whole file should be read. And also, I will either see if I can wrap some of these exceptions in IOExceptions under certain circumstances, and/or catch any Throwable while reloading files. The "Error 13" exceptions were caught properly.
[Xposed General] pyler:
Well, I have cca 30 hooks (check) and in every hook I need to check for some preference and its value. I know "reload()" is called very very often. Anyway, on < LP it is OK.

But it doesn't crash everytime, sometimes I can change even 10 prefs and everything is OK and sometimes 2 or 3 prefs reboot device. But nowdays, it became better somehow.

Yes, I can disable reloading but then reboot will be required to apply changes (atleast on LP). But anyway, I will leave it as is, since looks like only me has (had) this issue, users haven't yet told me about this "bug".
[Xposed General] rovo89:
I think it's a racing condition. If your reload() happens to be executed while the settings are written, it can crash. You can't compare this to older versions, as I didn't have to go through the hoops of using native services and stuff, I could access the files directly and check whether their size and modification time is unchanged. The latter is pretty fast, using native services is obviously much more work that the device needs to execute.

It probably won't crash in the next alpha version anymore, however the error might would appear in the log.

And as I said: You could have a per-process timer that makes sure that reload() is only executed every few seconds. Doesn't solve the root cause, but reduced the likelyhood that it happens.
[Xposed General] pyler:
Could this be solved with try - catch when loading prefs?

Hi all

i wrecked my OPO 2months ago and i saved enough money to get a new one

now i am unsure which model to go for

my previous was the 64gb sandstone black edition and it was perfect , albeit a dew software issues ,

but i am curious about the JBL edition , all i know is that it comes with JBL EARPPHONES and it comes with only 16gb of storage which is a big drawback , and only comes with color OS i think

still is it worth it? it is 10 USD cheaper compared to the 64gb model though
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VrozaX:

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Thepompa:
sorry if this is in the wrong place, but i have recently bought the A5 (a5009) and have searched high and low on xda, but cannot find any support for the phone on this forum. As it is related to the alpha line, i was wondering if this sub-forum will be the place for news or ROMs for the A3/A5/A7? or have i missed something?

i feel its a great phone, but touchwiz is so ugly compared to stock android (in my opinion), and this could sway me away from the phone if there is no support.

i have noticed that it can be rooted already, but i dont see much point unless there are custom roms available or am i missing the point?

many thanks

Dom :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] toms95:
If you can, return your A5 and get the alpha! :p . It is the value for money phone of the new series... It has 3x faster cpu and many times faster GPU and better camera than A5. :good::good::good:

To be honest, i don't think that anybody with some hardware knowledge will buy A5 or A7 at least until the price drops to adequate levels.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Thepompa:
I don't want to turn this into a comparison thread as I just wanted to know where on xda I can find out about the new A series, but the alpha here in the UK is more expensive.

With my job, having an expensive phone is not a good idea as it can get damaged easily, that's why I went with a mid - range phone this time. I still have time to think though, so I may change the phone yet.

Has the alpha got many roms available for it?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] toms95:
There is ongoing CM11 port and there are 2 custom roms based on stock ROM.

And i think, that there must be separate subforum for A series...

If you root your phone you can remove samsung crap and install launchers... and you'll get whatever software experience you want, you just need to spend some time with it.

P.S. look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1660354&page=1712 it seems thet there are several requests for A5 forums... Just wait (and maybe add request) and there will be forums for your beautiful device to!

The Exynos 5433 SoC runs on hybrid AArch32 mode, which means the advantages you can get from ARMv8-A architecture are limited too (it won't expose native 64-bit code to applications.) The same can be experienced on devices with SD410.

"French" Lollipop on A300FU from 26th June works well.

Only drawback is that the old root I had with 4.4.4, doesn't work anymore. Once Lollipop is installed, I had no more root, therefore I've tried regaining root privilege again (like I did before, with 4.4.4) and it worked, but at the first reboot, the phone went into some kind of ****ed up state. It look like if the android was on lsd.

So I had to "clean" install lollipop again and now it's working fine. I did a couple of test, and yes, it seems the rooting process was the culprit. Let's hope for a new root method!

How to root Galaxy A3 (A300FU) in 5.0.2

If you updated to 5.0.2 lollipop, you must have lost root. To root again:

Warning: Following procedure is only for A300FU variant.

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE (SUCH AS BRICKED PHONE).

1. Download the CF auto root package for 4.4.4.

2. Extract the zip and open ODIN.

3. Load CF-Auto-Root-a3ulte-a3ultexx-sma300fu.tar.md5 by clicking on PDA.

4. Connect your phone via USB in download mode (turn off your phone, then hold volume down, home and power button together for a while, when it boots, press volume up to continue).

5. Flash using ODIN

6. When phone boots, you should have root. But if you turn reboot your phone, it would be stuck, so please don't turn it off.

7. Install flashify from play store.

9. Using flashify, flash boot.img and recovery.img (both files are attached in zip). Download the zip, extract them in your phone anywhere you wish. Use flashify to locate them and flash them.

10. Once you flash them, you should be able to reboot your phone without any problem.

A300FU bricked

I updated from Baltic (SEB) KitKat to French Lollipop using Odin and I didn't like it. Many sites say that you can downgrade to KitKat using Odin and firmware from Sammobile, so i downloaded Baltic KitKat and flashed it. The result was bad: Although Odin said "PASS" and phone were supposed to be rebooted, it went totally black instead. No sign of life, not even that big "Samsung GALAXY A3" logo. No download mode, no recovery, no short vibrate alert... nothing. Plugged into wall socket for 30 minutes - nothing (battery level was about 70% before downgrading). Tried Volume and home and power button combinations and mambo-jambo but phone is completely dead.

Even if I did a mistake and this wasn't proper way to downgrade, it still should have that big white logo at the very beginning as i have read that those who somehow have bricked their device after downgrade attempt had able to flash Lollipop back successfully. I took my phone to my carrier shop to repair. I hope the best.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] bernardwu:
Hey hannez. I have A300F I downgraded before from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4. But before flashing 4.4.4 I did a factory wipe in recovery mode before going into download mode for the flashing process. After flashing the phone booted into 4.4.4 without prob. Good luck to your phone tho

---------- Post added at 07:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 AM ----------

No u can't flash rom which its model number doesn't match with the model number of your phone. Idk why many people can't grasp this fact. If you do so it'll brick your phone for sure
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] hannez_r:
bernardwu, Yeah, i did a factory reset in recovery before flashing. I assumed if something goes wrong i could still boot into download mode. Now it's absolutely dead. Did you simply flashed 4.4.4 with Odin like usual? No any extra steps besides factory reset?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] tonus76:
Try with usb jig to enter in download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] bernardwu:
Yeah. No other steps. Maybe it's something else that went wrong. Idk bro. Sorry for your lost
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] hannez_r:
I took my device to repair service (at least I hope it's still under warranty). The knox flag was 0x0 after upgrading to Lollipop. If it was tripped to 0x1 after downgrade attempt (theoretically it should not), I don't know. If they cannot even turn it on, how they can read knox status... I hope I will get working device back soon. Now my old Galaxy S Advanced did a great comeback:cool::good:
