[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
I tried CM12 just the other day. Still isn't stable enough to be a daily driver in my opinion. Had a few force closes and needed to pull the battery in the first day. So I went back to FireKat. Once CM12 gets stable I'll go back to it for sure.

I believe that the power totally drained on my 8525.

It seems that all of the INSTALLED programs that I elected to install on the storage card are now gone.

Programs installed directly to the device are still there, but anything that I installed and selected "Storage Card" rather than device during install are gone. Their directories and everything else that I later copied into those directories are gone.

Stuff that I drectly copied over to the storage card (rather than installing), seem to be gone as well, though the parent directories are there.

In the Windows Start menu there are only generic icons left for those programs. A bunch were free, but there were a few registered apps that are gone as well. Apps the the previous owner had bought, and so I don't have the reg keys for (hopefully reinstalling will work on some of them if the registration data is in the registry and the new install doesn't overwrite it).

Unfortunately I have only had the phone for about 2 weeks and was still tweaking it to get it where I like, so I had not yet backed-up my storage card...

I thought that WM5 had persistent storage? I have powered the device down in the past and had no problems.

Anyone know what might have caused this (other than a possibly defective storage card...)?

Thanks,

Brain21

What firmware are you running? I've seen this problem on my JASJAM when running the latest AKU3.3 WWE ROM from HTC (and there's a solution to this problem - use the search). Can't recall ever seeing this problem appear with i-mate's latest AKU2.3 ROM.

Strange, never heard of an SD card loosing stuff because of the device losing power. May be worth pulling the card out and checking it with a card reader on your PC. See if your files are there or not, then reformat the card just to be sure its ok maybe?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] brain21:
It's the standard Cingular shipping ROM I *believe*:

ROM Version: 1.34.502.1

ROM Date: 9/21/06

Radio Version: 1.16.00.00

Protocol Version: 32.53.7018.01H

It's a HERM100

The only thing I ever did as far as that stuff goes was upgrade the radio version to the one above while I was unlocking the phone (I am on T-Mobile)

Unfortuately I don't currently have a reader for my PC that accepts Micro SD Cards. I need to get one of those SD adapters or something...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
If you haven't already I would soft reset and then hook up active sync and use the explore facility to go to the card a see what's there.

I have seen things come back after a soft reset and / or taking card out and in.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] brain21:
That's pretty much the first thing I did. Soft reset & connect. Power off, pull out card, reinsert, power on, reconnect. Same thing every time. :-(

And just to clarify on my post above, I SIM unlocked the phone. I have NOT CID Unlocked the phone.

You might try checking the SdCard with Pocket Mechanic. Run Scandisk from Pocket Mechanic

http://www.wizcode.com/

Losing power would not have had anything to with losing data on sdcard. Even in the old days, when power was lost, the main memory was affected not the SdCard

Does anything show up on the SdCard?

Pocket Mechanic is a nice app and has a free trial.

i am looking for an application to stress my devices to find any hardware faults that may have.

I used to use stability test from play store but it's too old and not support newer chipsets at full. I want to leave the app to run many loops until it finds a hardware error, not only one loop.

Hello everyone!

I have a tablet which I use as media center, since my smartTV (Sony) "smart" funcionality sucks. It's a Energy System tablet with a dual core RK3066 CPU at 1.6 GHz, 1 GB ram and Mali-400 gpu.

The problem is...I have android 4.2 installed and I would like to install Cyanogen mode since the official rom sucks. I found a 4.2.2 and a 4.4 roms which works great with my tablet BUT...I have no touchscreen.

Since I have the official rom (as update.img, which I've extracted), is there any way I can add the touchscreen drivers to the new rom ?

I can access the new rom with a mouse, so the touchscreen wouldn't be a big issue to get USB debugging or even root the tablet.

Thank you everyone.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jateed:
Hello,

I just bought my first Galaxy device (had a CDMA LG for a while, and I have a Nexus Tablet), and I am looking at how to get this new phone set up right. I bought my i747 retail, so I was unable to unlock it. However, now I'm struggling with finding the right method for upgrading, rooting, etc. I know nothing about knox or any of these Samsung intricacies. Could someone please give me a little guidance on how to go about getting to the OS and status that I'm looking for? This is what I've done so far:

Came unrooted with 4.1.2 stock rom

Unlocked using legit unlock code

Tried OTA updates, but none were available (must be because of unlock)

Rooted w/ ODIN using 4.1.1 file based of MrRobinson method. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426)

Now I keep getting popups like process. ... .acore,media, etc. stopped.

I'm looking to ideally get a custom recovery (either CWM or TWRP, whichever is better) and either kitkat Touchwiz or possibly kitkat nexus stock (I read somewhere that it was possible). Also, i just bought it, and have the code still, so I don't mind deleting everything if needed. Regardless, I'd like the ability to get it back to pure stock with no flash counter (I have a manufacturer's warranty I want to use if need be).

Could someone please just give me a little guidance? I'm pretty capable with rooting, etc., so you'd only need to lead me to other threads, etc. that will take me where I want to go. Thank you very much.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Before flashing or doing anything else, confirm the bootloader on your phone. Download and install the Samsung Phone Info app from the playstore and post your bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jateed:
Well, the bad news is I already flashed using MrRobinson's instructions, and now my phone is barely workable, as things like process.android.media and Touchwiz keep crashing. I was able to install the info app though, and my bootloader is listed as I747UCDLK3. Thanks again though, and let me know what else you need from me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I recommend starting over by flashing the stock AT&T 4.1.1 firmware from sammobile. Once flashed, boot the phone and make sure your phone is sim unlocked. If it isn't sim unlocked, unlock it using the free method or your unlock code.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-I747/

After sim unlocking, run OTA updates until you have the latest stock AT&T ROM on your phone. Upgrading the phone's bootloader and modem is the easiest way to do it for someone that is new to the phone and custom ROMs.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jateed:
Thank you, but wouldn't OTA updates install Knox, which would basically void my warranty if I tried to flash anything after that? And, I've checked for OTA updates twice, once on 4.1.2 and on 4.1.1, and both times it said my software was up to date.

I spoke with StoneyJSG about my situation, and he suggested that I go to stock 4.1, root w/ saferoot, then flash a kitkat custom rom without Knox through TWRP. That way, I could use triangle away and flash stock unrooted if I needed to send it in.

Although, I'm not sure if I should do that, as I thought I read that you need to update the radio and bootloader first before you can install a custom kitkat rom from jelly bean, but I'm still not entirely sure how that works.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
The most recent release of many custom ROMs will not work but you may not have a signal without an updated modem and you should not be running updated modems on an older bootloader. Doing this could brick your phone.

With a rooted system, OTA updates will not work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jateed:
Thank you again for helping walk me through the minutia around this phone.

I think I have a much better understanding of everything now. I read the following article on Knox (http://omegadroid.co/wanted-knox-void-warranty-0x1/) and with an understanding of that, I get now that there is no way to load any custom rom on 4.3 or higher without losing my warranty.

So, basically my options are to stay at 4.1 and flash whatever, using triangle away to erase my tracks. Or, I could update to 4.3, but only be able to use saferoot/towelroot, otherwise I'd trip the warranty void. But, if all I did use was towelroot (no custom recovery or rom), then I could just unroot the phone using the full unroot option in SuperSU and send it on in for service if needed, right?

Also, I did unroot my phone and did a factory reset, so it's back at 4.1.1 and unrooted. Yet, I still do not see any software updates available from Samsung. I even plugged it into Kies, and nothing (http://i.imgur.com/E0xPGpf.png). Does anyone know why this could be? Does it have something to do with my not having a carrier for the phone yet? I'm sorry for all the questions, but I do appreciate your help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pre4speed:
What is your cell service? If not AT&T, you will never get OTA.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Whether you get OTA can vary from carrier to carrier and phone to phone in my opinion.

I have a Rogers HTC One X that gets OTA updates from HTC even though I am on the Bell network.

I have a Bell S3 that is running on the Rogers network and it receives OTA updates from Bell even though it has a Rogers sim card in the phone.

I have a Telus Moto G running on the Bell network and it received the Telus KK OTA update while connected to the Bell network.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jateed:
Well, I have an AT&T model which I unlocked and will be putting on Cricket at the end of the week (when my plan month is set to end). Right now there's no SIM in it, and I've been doing everything over wifi. I looked up whether the carrier had something to do with the OTAs, and I was told that Samsung sent the updates out, not AT&T, so I figured that the carrier info was irrelevant. I now wonder what my options are.

Can I manually flash 4.3 stock without tripping the knox warranty void?

Does Towelroot/Xposed framework trip the Knox void flag?

If I can update to 4.3/4.4 and root without tripping the knox flag, I might just manually update and just run towelroot and xposed to modify my OS the best I can until my warranty runs out.

If I can't root it at all once I'm on 4.3+, then I'll just sit on 4.1.1 for a few months until I can't stand it anymore and just void the warranty anyway.

Thanks again everyone. This whole knox/binary counter thing is not something I dealt with on my CDMA LG or Nexus, so I was totally in the dark about how it all worked. This is also my first GSM phone, so all those intricacies are new to me too. Once I know about manually flashing stock and running towelroot/xposed, I think I'll be in good shape.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Flashing the stock 4.3 ROM should not trip the counter as long as you do not need to install a custom recovery to flash it.

Apparently, the latest KK stock ROM cannot be rooted using Towelroot.

If you want a custom ROM, use one that will work with a 4.1.1 bootloader and modem. Once on 4.3 or higher, it's a little harder to recover from a soft brick.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jateed:
Excellent. If I did flash stock, i would just use ODIN, then factory reset to wipe the caches. And that's good to know about the KK rom, as I would probably update straight to 4.4 if at all (I've read a lot of bad things about 4.3 on the S3), but not if it means I cannot root safely and cleanly.

I'll check out the custom roms for 4.1.1. I know that flashing the rom and/or a custom recovery will trip the binary counter, but I can just use triangle away to clean that up. Do you know if there is a list of custom 4.1.1/4.1.2 roms somewhere, or do I need to scour the older threads here?

Thank you very much audit13 (thanks to StoneyJSG and pre4speed as well). You have been immensely helpful and really brought me up to speed on everything surrounding S3 customization. Needless to say it's way more complicated than what I've dealt with from LG and Google/Asus. (I mean, i could root my nexus with a single click using Wugfresh's toolkit)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
4.1.1 is the only complete stock ROM that AT&T released for flashing via Odin.

4.3 ROMS and higher were prepared by XDA members for flashing in either a custom recovery or Odin.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jateed:
Oh, so what other way can you flash a stock rom, if not through ODIN or a custom recovery? Regardless, it seems as though I really should not dive into 4.3+ until I'm ready to concede that my warranty is over. There are just too many potential pitfalls and headaches.

On the lighter side, I've found a few 4.1.2 based custom roms that have some promise. I'm going to post them here in case anyone has opinions on them, or if someone else in my situation sees this thread and wants to go custom 4.1 too:

I was also torn when I got my s3 that was running 4.1.2. I downgraded to 4.1.1, sim unlocked the phone, used it on stock 4.1.2 for about a week to make sure everything was working, hardware wise, upgraded to stock 4.4.2, installed a custom recovery and a custom ROM. I wasn't too concerned about the warranty since I got the phone as a free upgrade and had no intention of using the s3 as my daily phone. I kept it as a backup until my niece needed and phone and then it went to her. It's been over a year and there are still no problems with the phone.
[General Questions and Answers] floepie:
There is something in my data partition that prevents writes to the internal "virtual SD" storage. For instance, Google Camera requests that I insert an SD card for my device (Moto X 2014), which is absurd as there is no SD slot. If I factory reset, writes work just fine as well as Google Camera. If I restore my TWRP data partition only, the problem returns. Any ideas? I feel its probably a simple problem to correct, but I can't seem to nail it.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Well I would TIBU the apps you want and then restore them one by one and find the issue. Never use a recovery to restore a system or data partition. This is just asking for corruption issues.

Hi folks,

Just got my Ameo, and am thrilled with it, just getting mildly frustrated with TT6. I copied all the files over to the MicroDrive and ran the cabs, installed to Device (also tried Microdrive) and ran TT. However, although the program seems to be working great, it won't see any voices installed. Any ideas? The Voices directory is in the same place as all the other TomTom files i.e. the root directory of the Microdrive. Thanks!

Fin
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Digital.Diablo:
I found this problem initially - I think I ended up having to reinstall the cab with the voices in to get it working. Mine are now in \MicroDrive2\Voices

Either that, or a complete uninstall/reinstall did the trick.

N.B, I don't have two microdrives, WM5 got a bit confused and I think WM5torage didn't unload itself properly or something like that, and renamed the drive as 2. I've seen it before with SD Cards.:mad:
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] findus:
Thanks - on your advice managed to dig out my old copy of TT 4.4 as I knew it had separate cab files for voices. Installed the right one and Jane was happily talking to me again :) Thanks for the input! Shame it won't pick up all my other voices tho - I don't have a voices cab for TT6.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] tomchap:
had the same problem...

i found i had the same problem, this is what i did;

1- there is a voices directory on your phones memory, program files, navigator, voices, try copyin them from your microdrive to your phone memory

or

2- when you go to the voices section in the tomtom application, when it asks to 'only show english voices' select no.

my john cleese and yoda voices now appear, hope this helps.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] QAN:
TT

There are two type of installations.

1. Tou have the SD card installation version and

2. You have the PC installation version.

From TT 6 and upwards the PC installation version is disapearing. This version needed to see the voice files properly installaed. It used the registry to find the files. For this version you need to install the voice cabs form the source disks.

The SD card version looks at your storage card and searches for the voices directory. When this directory is there and you cannot see te voice files, delete the collected.ini file. When you start up TT again it will search for voice files.

Still there is a possibility you cannot see them. I had this probem because I have an miniSD card in my devices. I noticed that TT had made several directories on the card including the voices directory with the file collected.ini. Throwing away the TT directories on my miniSD card solved my problem.

My microdrive has also ended up as MicroDrive2, stopping all my programs I installed on the Microdrive working.

HTC advantage
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] chrisoyh:
I don't think you need to reinstall your programs. Try doing a soft reset. I have encountered the Microdrive2 thing before (but not because of WM5Storage), and a soft reset restored everything back to normal.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mardibloke:
Looks like something created a folder called MicroDrive on my main storage (its got mail inbox folder in it), and hence the real MicroDrive got renamed to MicroDrive2.

I wonder if real MicroDrive stopped working for a little while and hence device automatically created a new MicroDrive folder on main storage.

Soft resets did not fix it, however renaming the MicroDrive folder to something else, on main storage, and then a soft reset, and real MicroDrive got renamed back to normal.

Will post if it happens again, but at least have found a simple way to fix it if it happens again.

Reading on TomTom I remember running across an article that recommended deleting some INI file for TomTom which would cause TomTom to rescan for voices. This was a common problem. I think it's on the TomTom support site. I can't really remember where I read it though.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] jmdrizen:
I had this problem.

Ensure TT is closed

Move the VOICES folder and ZIP (if you have the 7 digit postal code) from the route of the SD card to \program files\navigator and restart.

Problem solved.

---

If you want to keep the files on the SD card (which is slower) then delete the collected.ini file at \program files\navigator\voices , and also the voices folder from there, and it will re-search for them, hopefully finding them on the SD card

Tomtom and voice

Hi

To solve this problem follow this steps

explore the device's staorage area where you copied the Tomtom (whether Microdrive or Mini Sdcard)

Inside there you will see the Tomtom folder and the map folders.

open the Tomtom folder and cut the Voice folder and Paste on to the same drive's Root.

Eg: Device/microdrive or Device/storagecard

Do the same for the Zip folder which is also inside the tomtom folder.

Basically Tomtom only looking for the voice and zip files from root of the Storage card, Microdrive and my documents folder of the Device.

You have to choose where to put it.

Good luck guys
