[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tapanp:
I have the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Duos - GT-I9192 phone.

Last week I was updating the phone via a OTA update and the phone suddenly stopped updating mid-way, restarting the phone got the phone to start but stuck on the initial Samsung logo and not beyond. Eventually after several retries, phone would only vibrate and nothing displayed on the screen. I can not even get into recovery mode.

I am now able to get into Download mode only with the following information displayed

ODIN MODE

Product Name: GT- I9192

Current Binary: Samsung Official

System Status: Official

CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30

BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2

Write Protection: Enable

Over the past one week I have tried the following with no success

1) Downloaded the official firmware for my device/region from Sammobile and tried loading via ODIN (3.10 and 3.07), after waiting for an hour (On Initialization status) or so ODIN terminates with a Fail message and a error mentioning " No Partition Detected/ PIT File missing

2) I have tried with a PIT file (attached) but it does not proceed beyond Initialization status on ODIN either

3) Tried the same thing with CWM file and Auto Root files for the GT-I9192 but does not move beyond Initialisation and/ or Setup Connection step in Odin

I have now tried on Multiple computers, with different cables and USB ports, even tried connecting to Kies to see if a firmware can be loaded that way, but no luck.

Would appreciate any suggestions / help on what else I must try or do differently. Please help.

That pit is for serranolte your device is serranodsd now search for the apropiate pit file.

First try installing latest firmware without pit

If don't work try with apropiate pit
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tapanp:
still doesnt work

Thanks fburgos I found a PIT file from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53003227&postcount=4 (attached)

and another one shared by SilviuMik at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2620621&page=2

But Odin still stuck at Initialization for both (attached screenshot)

I have tried the Odin option with Nand Erase checked as well but Odin doesnt proceed beyond Initialization.

Of course the stock rom doesnt install either via odin - I9192DDUCNL1_I9192ODDCNH1_I9192DDUCNL1_HOME.tar.md5

Same issue - stuck at Initialization.. fails after a long time.. with missing PIT file message.

Any other ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fburgos:
Use both pit and firmware, in the same process

Do you have any progress? I have the same issue on my GT-I9192 . Odin has stuck in initializing.

it was a hardware issue, had to replace the board - cost Rs.4500/- that too did not last more than 6 months.

Dont waste you time and money on Samsung

[T-Mobile LG G3] kafepuya:
You should stick to roms made specifically for your device. It is very likely you will brick you're device if you flash a ROM for another variant. However, some devs build roms for more than one variant. Make sure your read thoroughly the corresponding rom's thread before flashing.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Fredclotz:
No matter what ROM I try to load on top of my A510 with 4.1.2 Acer OS I get the following MSG "check.partition.size={__PROP_UNDEFINED__], And the installation is aborted.

The other problem I have is that I can not boot into recovery with the Volume down and power buttons. The only way can get into recover is via "ROM Manager" using either TWRP or ClockwoorkMod Recovery .

A factory reset doesn't help.

Anyone have any suggestions??

I just got the Z3... and trying out the answering machine... very confused.

For some reason, when I play back the message left on the answering machine, the screen goes completely black? The home button doesn't work (I hit it, but the screen still remains black)? Any clue what's happening?

Also, when I put the phone on speaker to play the message, the volume is still very quiet

EDIT OK- screen no longer turning black... I have NO clue what was happening

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntropic:
I decided to upgrade to Lollipop after holding out for awhile.... before I did though, as I knew I was going to run an RUU so I wouldn't have any problems with the OTA, I copied everything in my "storage" (all folders) to my windows laptop desktop via USB.

After upgrading, I copied it all back, making sure not to over-write anything.

What is strange is when I copied all my folders to my laptop initially, I didn't see a Download folder... which I expected to see. But after looking through the folders I had copied, I saw a folder called storage, and in that folder another called emulated, and then another called "0". In that folder I finally saw my Download folder.

I didn't think much of this at the time, however, when I look at storage from Root Explorer, I note there is a new Download folder at the "root" level of storage, but the storage/emulated/0 path is still there as well.... and following it takes me to my old Download folder....

So...to get back my original folders and contents before I upgraded to Lollipop, I have to copy over every folder in this path up 3 levels. i.e., from /storage/emulated/0/storage/emulated to /storage/emulated.

What is going on? Why is there an "0" and a "legacy" if I go up one level from /storage/emulated/??? Why did my old Download folder end up where it did?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJ999:
I had this exact same thing in my mind.

Why is there such a folder ?

My phone storage was almost full and I found out this folder is taking up whole space.

I cut the storage folder and pasted it into memory card

now all my downloads go to memory card (mmc:storage/emulated/0)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nang06:
+1

I have also this folder that takes a lot of internal memory space.

I experiment one thing:

I have 1 game that takes 2Gb of data and I have moved it to sdcard memory (using Android-M feature : move app from internal to sdcard )

I saw in this directory (emulated/0/ ) the 2Gb of this game. ????? So, I tryed to copy/paste this data to sdcard, in order to free internal memory space. But I loose the game's configuration.

I was thinking that moving app from internal to scard, the data of the app also move, isn't it ?

I need help to understand that ...

[General Questions and Answers] Ronux25:
Greetings,

I had some issues uninstalling xposed on my HTC One M8 that was recently updated to lollipop so I reverted back to a stock lollipop rom directly from Telus. Every time I try and download an app from the Play Store I get the following message.

"nameofapp" could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-7 :AEC-7])

This is what I have tried so far:

- Clear cache on Google Play Services (Framework) and Google Play Store

- removed update from Google Play Store

- updated Play Store manually to newest APK

- rebooted in between these steps

- removed Google Account + cleared cache + all data for all Google Apps and services

Sometimes when I reboot it will let me update or download 1-3 apps, then it will just bring back that error. I'm at a loss as to what I should try as googling this error brings up the same solutions every single time. Other then this issue the phone itself appears to be functioning properly. My phone is unlocked and rooted but I do not have xposed or any other custom mods running. I'm also using the latest version of TWRP. I have also noticed that sometimes when I disconnect from wifi and attempt to download from 4G the download actually goes through. Not exactly a solution as I have limited data available to me. Any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Flash GApps via TWRP. If it doesn't help, bring your phone back to full stock, including flashing firmware + rom and make sure to format systen + data partition

before flashing the new rom.
[General Questions and Answers] Ronux25:
Thanks for the help. I tried to flash the google apps but TWRP kept giving me errors that the package wasn't compatible with my phone. I located a nandroid of Telus lollipop stock and flashed that after I have formatted the system and data partitions as you have recommended. I dont believe I needed to do firmware as I have never had anything but stock firmware on the device. Everything appears to be functioning now as I can download and update from the play store once again.

Out of curiosity are you able to tell me why I encountered that issue? I cant seem to find exactly what that error even means. While i'm still very new to the android scene with flashing custom roms and device modification I have never once had that issue.
[General Questions and Answers] Rodrigo Porto:
that is a "host" error, using a file manager, go to your /system/etc folder, open the "hosts" file, as a text file, and erase all.. except the local host:

[Android General] Ezekial:
Last month HP released a very nicely looking & speced 8in device (as well as a 10in device). I see on the forums the previous model has limited development work, mainly for rooting, but haven't seen much on this new model. Does anyone have one, any feedback? Does anyone know of development work going on for it?

This device really appeals to me as I want 8in, 4:3 high rez screen, prefer 32gb storage, 2gb+ memory, and I want NFC. The Nokia and Dell 8in devices are lacking NFC :( So I was hoping this device would have some development, a least for rooting and prefer some CM action.

anyone?
[Android General] 3Labs:
I have one, anything I can answer?
[Android General] Ezekial:
The device the exact specifications I am looking for, but I have concerns about the software. Both for now and in the future as I am not seeing much interest on this device.

1. How close is the OS to "Stock Andoid"?

2. Have you rooted it/Can it be rooted?

3. Are you aware of any development work on it? Recoveries, ROMs, etc?

4. Do you have any complains about it?

5. Do you believe HP will come through with Lollipop?
[Android General] 3Labs:
I am not sure about rooting and development. I am pretty sure it is stock android. It update to Lollipop OTA today. No complaints really. I bought it for the pen and it works as good as any tablet pc active digitizer on screen. The on paper part of the pen works pretty well, not quite as well as on screen. I had some slowness when I encrypted in kit kat but encrypted in lollipop seems really really smooth. HP has some good accessories too.
[Android General] spookme:
Thanks. I'm thinking of getting one too, but there is very little info on it. Appreciate you taking the time to comment on it.
[Android General] ah381:
Which version of Android are you currently runining? Is ist 5.0 or 5.1? Because I've spoken to HP support and they told me, there is no update yet. I'm starting to think, they're not as informed as they supposed to be…

Thank you for your answers :)
[Android General] spookme:
Just bought mine yesterday :) It's running 4.4.4. Strange thing is, as soon as I booted the tab for the 1st time, I received a message saying there was a system update to 5.0. I said yes to apply the update and reboot. It rebooted straight away (not normal at all for a 5.0 update - it usually takes like 15 - 20 minutes to update). Then when it rebooted, it still had 4.4.4.. Not 5 at all! I assumed it was just a failed update, so I went to the System Update screen and strangely enough - it says my system is up to date and there are no more updates...

So strange! I'm def still running Kitkat and I know I didn't imagine it (because I was wondering if there would be a lollipop update, so was glad I saw it). The only thing I can think of is that HP have pulled the update after my tablet had seen that there was one pending. Maybe thay have pulled it in preparation of 5.1??

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 PM ----------

BTW, I have been struggling to find much in the way of community forums or discussion for this tablet. I guess it is too new and doesn't have a lot of hype. So I just started a G+ page for it: https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/117609218048600581915. Not sure if anyone out there will be interested, but I usually find a lot of the questions I have, other people also have. So, until this tab takes off, I thought it might be worth having a page up in case anyone has questions. Feel free to join!
[Android General] spookme:
Update- Lollipop update came up again and this time downloaded no problem. Now running 5.0
[Android General] Ezekial:
Do you what version of 5.0? Like 5.01 or hopefully 5.1?
[Android General] spookme:
It's plain old 5.0. Still, I would expect at least a couple more updates before HP drop it. It doesn't seem to be a very popular model yet, so that's a bit worrying. Manufacturers usually drop unpopular models much faster. Not sure why it hasn't taken off. It seems to be a good price for what it is and I really like mine. The pen works really well and the screen is lovely. I have an Tegra Note 7 before this and I can say the pen works a lot better on the HP. Works great with OneNote - which I use every day.
[Android General] Ezekial:
Probably a marketing issue and price. The specs are spot on. I am really considering one, but like you said, no one has them. I am afraid there will be no support for newer OS, recovery, root, etc from the community. Seriously, that is the only reason I haven't pulled the trigger on one.
[Android General] GrandMasterPlank:
I'm just about to buy one of these but have a question for anyone who's got one.

I currently use a Note 10.1 for note taking using handwriting recognition and Evernote. I've moved on to using an 8" tablet in portrait mode so this Pro Slate 8 seems ideal (as does the Asus Zenpad S 8) but I'd like to know how it compares or how good it is with handwriting recognition? I'm looking to write notes on the screen and it instantly (without some transfer procedure) into types text.

Thx.

On July 13th, 2015, HP released a Lollipop 5.1.1 update for this HP Pro Slate 8 tablet (I downloaded it and checked the build.prop file to confirm) : http://h20566.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=7398639&swLangOid=4&swEnvOid=4153

Does anyone know where I could find the original stock 4.4.4 version of Android for this tablet? Doesn't seem to be available on HP site.

P.S. : Just purchased one new from an HP broker. Couldn't resist the 174 € price tag. :)

P.S.2 : Don't know where the K4M18UT codename mentioned by the OP comes from, as my 32 GB version states K4M17UT in the build.prop file.

Does anyone might know how to root HP pro slate 8, I have tried so many one key root software.

And all failed....
[Android General] bainosauro:
I`m still on kitkat [always skiping the update].

I`ve used kingroot to get root acces without any issue.

Tested with es explorer and titanium.

Just remember to disable purify or uninstall.
[Android General] Nguyenlm:
Old thread but there isnt much on this device (information on the slate pro, but not the pro slate).

But Kingroot works on the 5.1.1 build.

Device may be dead at this point since they were trying to sell it for ~$500. Got it refurb'd for $130.

Got Adway installed and host files look good.
[Android General] jsp_1983:
Are there any alternatives to using Kingroot for rooting? At best, the comments about it are mixed; I'd rather use something a bit trustworthy, if there is such a thing.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] trenth:
Hello everyone,

I'm getting no service on my Sprint Galaxy S4 SPH-L720.

I've tried Slimkat 4.4.2, 5.0.1 and Google Play 5.0.1. I get service at times but it keeps cutting out for no reason. I am on baseband L720VPUFNAE, and PRL version 55020. I'm using an app called Roam Control which keeps the phone on roaming mode but it won't stay connected either. Even when set to force roaming it trys to connect to Sprint service. Perviously it would stay connected to Verizon.

Also on Slimkat 5.0.1 when enabling Roam Control it says "please make sure device is rooted" I know it is, because roam control doesn't give me that error on Slimkat 4.4.2 or Google Play Edition 5.0.1

I started having these issues about a week ago, before that everything was working fine. I was on Google Play Edition for a week, and then I started having these issues and went back to slimkat which worked flawlessly.

So to summarize this, phone will not stay connected to roaming no matter what I do. It wants to go back to Sprint, I've tried calling the ##872283# number or whatever it is. That didn't work, it told me it was unavailable and to try again.

Also, one time my cat knocked my phone off the table and it said no sim card inserted so I rebooted my phone and have been having issues since that day.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Wonk258:
Did you check to make sure the SIM card didn't get jarred loose when it fell. If that's not it do you have a backup of your stock Rom you could restore? I have had connection problems before and going back to stock TW Rom restored it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] trenth:
Hi, thanks for replying

I removed the sim card and put it back in, but that isn't fixing it.

I'm on GPE 5.0.1 latest update. Sometimes Roam Control works, and my phone will stay on roaming network, and sometimes it won't. Whenever I go to switch between Home and Roaming it doesn't want to go back to roaming. I have no idea what's going on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] trenth:
Hi again,

So this is what i've noticed so far.

Slimkat 4.4.4 = Confirmed working, phone goes in and out of roaming back to Sprint network just fine. All data/mms works perfectly.

Slimkat 4.4.2 = Confirmed working, phone goes in and out of roaming back to Sprint network just fine. All data/mms works perfectly.

GooglePlayEdition 5.0.1 = Phone has intermediate service

Sacs Custom Rom v4 = Phone has no wifi, but the Roam Control works.

Slimkat 5.0.1 (Beta/Alpha) = Phone tells me it isn't rooted.

So the good news is, i've got the phone to be atleast usable now. But I want to know why these other roms are giving me problems, is it the baseband/modem I am using? Which one's am I supposed to be using for these roms?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Wonk258:
From what I've read here on xda you have to be on the latest firmware, NG2 to have any success getting lollipop working smoothly. So I would look up how to use Odin to upgrade that. All the rooms that I've flashed recently have mentioned in the op to be sure you're on the latest firmware so it may also help with the other KK rooms.

I went ahead and updated to NG2 baseband using this file http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712458249 and Odin. (I am stating this to help people who might be Googling). It updated my Modem from the NAE one to the NG2 baseband, I am still on Slimkat 4.4.4. I will try flashing Google Play Edition 5.0.1 and see what happens.

Thank you guys for the assistance!

Does everything work the way it should on SK 444? If so make a backup so you have a solid place to revert to if you need it in the future. Also be sure to get a good GPS lock before flashing to a 5.0 Rom.
