[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wainfiggitty:
Hello,

My sprint S3 recently quit showing it's display. If I push the power button to wake up the screen, the display will flash for a moment then go blank.

I swapped out the mid case/ digitizer from a working phone, and the problem still exists. The problem is somewhere on the motherboard card.

Any ideas on a fix? Re-bake the board?

I just want to get my information transferred to a new phone, but I also have the dreaded USB port problem.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
from what i have seen in the forums, if it's the motherboard it's better to get a new phone....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wainfiggitty:
Well, I did get another phone. I'm trying to figure out how to get the files that are on my old phone. Kinda hard when there is no display and the USB doesn't work.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Do any of the current roms have this included? If not where can i install it?

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nothin:
question is, how to UNINSTALL it...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anichillus:
That's the SQM not SQL ... little confusion

If I'm not mistaken ... something like Service Quality Module...Management ..whatever
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] vbguru613:
According to one of the cookers they removed the SQL (SQL Server) Mobile from the ROM to allow other apps to be added.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anichillus:
I seem to have it in my rom.

Actually it comes from mun, because I used his aRTM as a base.

Although I don't know if it's functionall and how to test that.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
SQL Mobile is included in all official WM6 (Professional) releases and provides a framework for databases to communicate on PPC devices. It is NOT needed by most casual PPC users as most of the applications that require it are enterprise related and built for specific functions. Hence, why my ROM release was named "Business Edition". It can be removed quite easily, but it has an EXTENSIVE registry presence. It is included as a package in the registry I think, so perhaps this can be removed in double_ofour's new kitchen.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anichillus:
I agree with the "EXTENSIVE registry presence"

It's alot of it in there.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Is SQLCE the same thing? If so, that comes (the runtime) with Pocket e-Sword (Bible program) as I have to install that on my phone to use it. Its part of the install (and in the add remove programs shows up as a seperate install from e-sword itself so you can install, then uninstall e-sword if you don't want it).

http://www.e-sword.net/pocketpc/downloads.html
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anichillus:
Should be the same ...

SQL .CE
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
That file should not be removed (sqlce30). It has a different function.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] vbguru613:
sql ce is not SQL Mobile.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBritScott:
Hi,

I loaded up Kies 3 - tells me my phone has a new firmware package.

I follow the on screen instructions - then nothing.

Doesn't do anything.

Just goes back to Kies being "normal" and if I update it again it just repeats the cycle, nothing changes.

I have included the screen shots.

Under the download tab at the top to auto download - it doesn't show anything. It is blank.

Am I doing anything wrong? I am using official USB cable and not rooted.

Any and all help is appreciated.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] picobuntu:
Hi,

I bought a LG G3 from Ebay which was blocked on AT&T for using it both in the USA and in Europe (I choose this model for its frequencies supported). It is a D850 model as you can expect.

After receiving it, I unlocked it to run different carriers. I rooted it as well.

I want to install the AT&T 5.0.1 update from OTA (I don't care about root right know). But I have one big problem. I keeps saying that my software is up to date which is wrong. Is it because I'm on T-Mobile right know and AT&T blocks the update ?!

I'm using build D85010d. right know and I never had a software update notification. I've tried to set my phone date to a couple days forward as suggested by Android Police. No luck.

I just want to have the update. After that if it says "you are rooted, you can't install", I will unroot it and reinstall.

Is there any way to update manually ? I heard it's impossible thanks to AT&T.

This is beginning to irritate me.

Thank you in advance
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antvtat:
have you found any solutions to this? i'm using an unlocked att G3 as well (although not blocked) and I can't figure out how to update. i even tried to put someone's ATT sim in it and it still said it was up to date, which is completely false. god i hate att. can't update, can't use Qi charging, can't do anything.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mframe:
I am having an issue with the AT&T Lollipop update, as well. I bought a D850 from eBay on KitKat 4.4.2, and when I inserted my AT&T MVNO SIM and checked for updates, it found the Lollipop update. It started downloading, but about 2/3 of the way through, the display shut off (I had it set for 15 minutes). When I got the display back, this action had stopped the download, and it did not continue. Now, when I check for updates, it just says I have the current version. I have run system resets, and tried a different AT&T SIM, but I can't get the Lollipop download again. Does the start of a FOTA download set a flag somewhere that prevents re-downloading?

At&t LG g3 d850

Hi, I'm New in the XDA forum.

My name is Neeraj

And when I saw your post, I found me.

What ever you do please don't do custom rom update.i found that in a hard way.

Like you I too bought one from ebay, at&t logo but unlocked, and while trying to update says it's up to date.

Later I found out I need at&t SIM to update the phone. Because it's only network unlocked not the entire phone. It still got some sorts of at&t restrictions.

Any way I went and rooted, installed twrp, and cm13 6.0.1 then Walla my phone goes into reboot loop and when it finally opens up the network doesn't work.

By the I'm in Australia , temporary residence and I don't have at&t SIM.

So good luck and infact i'm hoping some one will guide me too :P
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neeraj 007:
I fixed it, don't know exactly if it will work on others.

But what exactly I did was search Google :P download official stock rom for at&t LG G3 D 850 ( KitKat or lollipop), flash the rom and Walla got my IMEI number restored and it fixed my boot loop problem.

Then backed up by all data, IMEI, etc and then flashes back to custom CM marshmallow. Now all is well. ?

Hope it this will help some one aleast a newbie lie me :P
[XDA Assist] gabrielcosta523:
Well... I'm a noob here and I haven't found any answer for my question anywhere posted, so here it goes:

I used to have this G300, which, I still have now, although I don't use it as my everyday phone, and, it had Infusion ROM in it, running Android 4.0.3. I've recently bought an Ascend G6 and kept my old phone working, which has been useful. Well... The last days I've used it I was already noticing the battery was lasting a lot less than usual and the phone was becoming really laggy. So I cleaned it all, gave it a nice Reset and I thought this would do... No success...

So I decided to flash CM11, running Android 4.4.4, and since I've tried that before on another G300 and there was no lag at all, I thought it would help... And... Nope.

So I'd like to know if someone is familiar with this... By the way, Battery Calibration app says the fully charged battery holds 4mV... Is this even possible? I read somewhere it should be saying around 1000x the value I am getting :o KitKat works better than ICS but it's still laggy and awfully slow... I've done all the usual "cleanings" and Resets after installing the ROM's.

I'll provide as much information as I can if you need... Thank you

Hi there,

I'm sorry but I can't find anything relevant to your question/device but i'm pretty sure that your battery is old and must be changed.

I have a 2012 Sonata with Bluetooth steering wheel controls. When listening to music on my Note 4, the "next and "previous" buttons on my steering wheel do not work. They worked prior to my Note 4. Is this a Note 4 issue?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgalyon:
There are problems reported with many cars due to poor Bluetooth compatibility. Basically, as I understand it, the Note 4 is using the latest version whereas many cars don't. While it's supposed to be backwards compatible, it isn't very good at maintaining functions (such as metadata and controls). It'll stream audio just fine, but that's about it. (I find this very aggravating too)

You might try the autoaudio app to see if it helps you (didn't help with my 2012 Mazda 3).

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mentor.37:
This version of SafeStrap is based on SafeStrap 3.75 but has a lot of differences with it:

- there is not more the splashscreen during the boot, to enter in Safestrap you have to select BP Tools in the Boot Mode Selection Menu(VolUp&&VolDown+PowerOn)

- has been added a Safe Rom slot that uses the unused partitions:

/preinstall (~ 600mb) for /system

/webtop (~ 1,4gb) for /data

/cache is shared with the Stock Rom slot

- in this version you have 6 slots: the Stock Rom slot, the Safe Rom slot and the four virtual slots

- the Safe Rom slot is faster than any virtual slot and safer than the Stock Rom slot

If you are using the original Safestrap you can simply install this new version over it and you will still have your roms in the virtual slots.

This version of Safestrap works like any other version of Safestrap and you can use the Stock Rom slot and the four virtual slots as you are usually do, the only thing that is a bit complicated is to install an aosp rom in the new Safe Rom slot that i provided in it.

Yes it supports lollipop roms.

Based on what you said and what I can see, our preinstall is very much smaller than yours... If understood it right we (XT910 users) have only 9 MB on preinstall partition... :/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mentor.37:
You can check their size with:

fdisk -l /dev/block/preinstall

fdisk -l /dev/block/webtop
[Motorola Droid RAZR] icarome:
As I presumed, we have only 9 mb on preinstall partition
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sd_shadow:
for xt910 could you still use Web top for data, with system on SD card?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mentor.37:
I just uploaded a little update that fixes a problem in the layout of the new safe slot menu.

I also saw that this recovery has been downloaded a lot of times in few hours and i'd like to know if everything is ok, in this way i can remove the warning from the second post.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mentor.37:
Well, as i suspected, then i can't build a similar version for it, i'm sorry.

Anyway i can tell you that some days ago i built a versione without the splashscreen at boot time for several devices, xt910 included, if interested you can find it here.

Yes i could but as i explained in the op the new safe slot in this version should be supported by the roms' mantainers with the editing of the fixboot.sh and for this i would avoid to create a lot of different versions to leave it the more "standard" possible. I'm afraid.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
I used BMM over 2 years and I always tested roms on webtop partition which had 1.2 GB available for apps.I switched to SS just to be able to flash Lollipop.I miss BMM and I say that is still better than SS despite the fact that there is no longer support for it.

Is it possible to make SS like that? How come that XT 912 has bigger partition than XT 910? I thought they are the same phones except the radio... :confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mentor.37:
Yes, me to i used bmm for more than an year on my xt894 and i loved it, for its second system it used this partitions layout:

- a virtual slot in /data/media/virtual/system_1/cache.img for /cache

- /cache for /system_2

- /webtop for /data_2

- /cdrom for /cache_2

and as you can see it did not use the /preinstall partition, at this point i think because on the xt910 /preinstall is very small.

Considering that on the xt894 we had /preinstall ~ 600mb and /webtop ~ 1,4gb i made a patch to change the layout for the second system in this way:

- /preinstall for /system_2

- /webtop for /data_2

- sharing the /cache partition between /system_1 and /system_2

but now bmm is an abandoned project that does not support the metadata and the SeLinux for the lp roms and for this i built this my personal version for the xt894 that installs a second rom in the unused partitions as i did with bmm with my patch and given that the xt912 has the same partitions with the same sizes i built a version also for it.

The xt910 and the xt912 are very similar but not identical, the xt912 is more similar at xt894 than at the xt910.

As i told in some post before you can verify what i'm telling simply checking the size of your partitions with these commands:

fdisk -l /dev/block/preinstall

fdisk -l /dev/block/webtop

I'm sorry.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
Ok,here is what I got:

Disk /dev/block/preinstall: 9 MB, 9437184 bytes

4 heads,16 sectors/track,288 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes

Disk /dev/block/webtop: 1397 MB

4 heads,16 sectors/track,42656 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mentor.37:
Update

Now we have an only Q&A thread shared between the xt894 and the xt912, in this way for me is easier follow the project.

I just uploaded in the download section the new version in which i cleaned the code and i also solved an error in it, now we should have a faster boot. I also updated the main thread with some useful info.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] icarome:
After what you've done I've noticed that I have at least 1,3 GB of useless space on webtop partition, so I decided to know more about this stuff and noticed that I can manually mount this partition and use this unused space. :) Now I just wish to know how can I automatically do it at every boot... I've created a mountpoint (a empty folder) on internal storage and mount webtop on it with this comand: mount -t vfat /dev/block/webtop /sdcard/extra it works like charm, but I didn't manage to do automatically, can you help me? Or anyone else?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mentor.37:
You can put in /system/etc/init.d a script with permission 755 like this:

#!/system/bin/sh

mount -o rw,remount /
mkdir /storage/extra
mount -o ro,remount /
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/webtop /storage/extra
chmod 777 /storage/extra

I have cid deleted and im currently using bmm. And dats cos while i was using safestrap tho it can bypass cid bt my problem was dat my fone dosent charge while its off unlike bmm. Any fix for dis
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brutalv4:
Charging when off, that was the reason why I've switched to BMM from older version of SafeStrap. Which means it's impossible to calibrate battery. And that's what I was affraid when decide to take a try on early builds of CM12. So I've switched to not this but original SafeStrap 3.75.

Well in that version my phone does charge when off. :)

So I tried installing CM11 on safeslot (Preinstall/webtop) on my XT908

removed old recovery and safestrap app, installed new, booted to safestrap recovery, enabled safeslot

could not find " Advanced wipe -> ✓System (or ✓Data) -> Repair or Change File System -> Repair"

but partitions seemed fine, so I wiped System, and data

installed rom and ram disc patch without error, so I tried installing pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.4-20150221-signed.zip, and got not enough system space

but pa_gapps-modular-pico-4.4.4-20150221-signed.zip installed fine

rom booted fine, and seems to run great

Please make ramdisk zip for cm 13.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mentor.37:
Built just for test based on the 20160122.

You can flash the zip in recovery and it will install a ramdisk to support the Safe Slot and a script to make it persistent at rom updates.

I can't know until this ramdisk will work with the new updates of the cm13.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mentor.37:
ramdisks for cm11, cm12.1 and cm13

A lot of users from the xt894 and xt912 sections asked me in pm an help to build updates ramdisks for cm12.1 and a ramdisk for cm13 because with the old builds and with their own builds they had a phone restart after the kexec vibration, this happened because now the ramdisks have to be built as superuser to not break the new selinux permissions.

Anyway yesterday I built new ramdisks for the last versions of the cm11 and cm12.1 and a ramdisk for cm13 based on the 22 nightly that will work also on the further updates until some relevant thing will not change in the ramdisk.

I provided the ramdisks in a zip that can be flashed in recovery that also install a script to make the ramdisk persistent at the rom updates so you don't have to install the ramdisk every time, you only have to update the rom and the ramdisk will be automatically replaced.

I'm not more using my droid 4 so i haven't personally tested the ramdisks, let me know if there are problems.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mentor.37:
These zips with edited ramdisks have to be installed after the rom only by xt894/xt912 users that are using my safestrap 3.75 and want install an aosp rom in the safe rom slot that I provided in it to use the real partitions /preinstall and /webtop.

The xt910 has a small /preinstall partition so wasn't be possible build a similar safestrap for them, for the xt910 users I built a version of SafeStrap 3.75 only without the splashscreen but without the safe slot

Everythings is explained in the first page of this thread and in my site where you can also find my safesprap versions.
