[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nelzkyboi:
Hi, XDA members,

I recently rooted my gadget Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite SM-T1100 using ODIN software to flash a custom recovery which is the ClockWorkMod. The flashing went well and after that, I boot to custom recovery to make a flash of the file "android-armeabi-universal-root-signed" and reboot the system. After rebooting, my device has already been rooted. But for a reason I did not understand I tend to restore my device to it's factory default settings thru the tablet settings, after that, it only boot to the custom recovery and did not boot again to homescreen. I know this is because of the deleted OS on my tablet due to factory reset that I've done. Please help me bring back my gadget to life since I already searched for =different kinds of Stock Firmware to recover its deleted OS and bring back to it's original form. Your help will be much appreciated since I really badly need this gadget back to work. I need a step by step instructions and all the links that I'll be needing to bring back my tablet to life again. Thank you very much guys!

Condition: Every time I open my tablet all it does is to flash its name SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 3 LITE SM-T1100 and after that it will boot to my custom recovery which is ClockWorkMod and there is nothing to do.

What I've done before the incident: I rooted it and the rooting process went well. But after that I preferred making a factory reset and poof! There is the PROBLEM :)

CRITICAL FILES: No, I don't have any files to be backed up and yes. I did not make a Back up or what they called Nandroid...

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 150d:
Hi,

suddenly I have a big problem: I have Galaxy S5 running Lollipop, rooted over Odin, that was running perfectly fine. Today I selected "reboot to recovery" in TitaniumBackup. This worked, the phone came up in recovery mode. I did nothing there, just chose "restart".

Now the phone won't come up again. On start, the screen remains black until a message box "media storage stopped" (translated, originally "Medienspeicher angehalten") appears. I can't even press the ok-button there, no reaction. After a while more messages "[something] stopped" appear, everything from some apps to "system". Now I can press the ok-buttons in each message. After they are all confirmed, the screen is black and nothing more happens.

Can anyone help me? The phone was fine before I used TitaniumBackup's reboot-option - was there some damage done that can be repaired?

Regards

Try taking off the battery, or rebooting into recovery and wiping cache.

TL:D: My efs partition got screwed so my phone doesn't get service which is sad, But when I turn it on, after just working for a few minutes, it just reboots, which is very annoying, does anyone have a solution for this?

Long Version:

I was on the bus home when my phone went out of charge and died, after getting home I plugged it in, but it was stuck on a Loop, which led to me flashing a bunch of Kernels, and ROMs, later one ROM did work and the phone booted up, but my IMEI was gone so I knew my efs partition was screwed, and I just gave up, I still want to use my Nexus 5 as a normal but without the phone feature, which is somewhat okay,

and One weird problem that came to mind is I cannot install any ROM with version 5.0.2, it just won't boot up, but 5.0.1 is okay...but my phone just Reboots every 1-10 mins, I don't know what the problem is, and I don't know how to check whether or not its the power button, anyone have a good idea for solving this ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
You must have corrupted persist partition. Same as here: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/help/nexus-5-bootloop-t3047895 the strange thing you both have is that you experience reboot. Are you on lollipop rom?

Also to fix persist follow this guide: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/guide-to-fix-persist-partition-t2821576
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sharo93:
Yes I'm on a Lollipop rom, and I already applied the presist fix, it didn't change anything.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirmr:
Did you try to flash stock google image?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
Try to flash cache.img in fastboot. If it still does not help, then your EFS is indeed corrupted. I wish I knew a method to fixing efs.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sharo93:
Yes I already did, I have almost tried everything, short of sending it to repairs which I can't because where I live there is no such place.

I already did that...I know the efs is corrupted...the only fix i think is using something like Octoplus Box or something
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anjo_Smash:
I have pretty much the same issue you do so I'm going to stay posted here.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joegestes:
Do you have an old TWRP backup?

Try to restore any TWRP backup you made of

your

phone.

Unless you unchecked If you checked that option before making the backup, the EFS partition should be present in the backup.

Best of luck
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sharo93:
The efs is not gonna get fixed unless you have special tools for it, but the random reboots have spotted ever since I installed the Pure White ROM

Unfortunately I don't have such a back up, I do however have access to two other Nexus 5s, which i don't want to mess with their IMEI because google might block something and them getting screwed is a no-no...I don't know if my Phone service provider would mind if They see the same IMEI coming up on there system twice, but I don't wanna risk it..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Do not try to restore an efs from another device. It won't work and you'll make your problem worse.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joegestes:
Man that sucks:(

Lesson learned I guess,

always

make a full backup of your device in its original factory state when you buy it.

Sorry for your loss
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] occtec:
I've had my Nexus for only 2 days and I've noticed some artifacts on my display. I've included screenshots using Screen Test app which show some horizontal lines on my display and also vertical lines but these are more vivid on the device itself they don't seem to show so much in the screenshots. These lines are visible regardless of what I use as wallpaper. Anyone else having this issue or is this normal?? Will this clear up over time or do I need to send it in for an RMA??
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
LMFAO....

Ok, so because you are obviously clueless about the distinction between hardware and software, any visual artifact caused by the AMOLED display **CAN NOT** appear on a screenshot.

Those lines you are seeing are due to the DITHERING algorithm used to generate the gradient that you are displaying. Gradient = the progression from white to black through multiple degrees of gray. This is a function of SOFTWARE, not hardware. RMA will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for this.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] occtec:
I understand there are different gradients, this is different, what I'm seeing is lines gradient or not but they are obvious even when not using the screen test app, they are visible everywhere at anytime doesn't matter what background or wallpaper I'm using. There are vertical lines also that look like they are baked into the screen.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IINexusII:
Well then send it for an RMA? i dont see what your purpose of this post was, to ask if its normal to have baked in horizontal lines? its not.

i dont see any lines on my display, so i would sent it back for a replacement. i guess i was one of the lucky few with a device with no issues, the only issue i found was that i did not get any lollipop with the device, see here : http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/help/missing-lollipop-nexus-6-t3046877

did you?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] occtec:
Hey man thanks for your reply, my question is really aiming at anyone else with the same issue. I didn't think it was right, I guess I was just hoping that it would resolve itself somehow but obviously not. As for lollipop, yeah my device came with it, why what did you get on yours, KitKat???
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IINexusII:
I got lollipop on the phone, but i didnt a lollipop sweet to eat, that was my issue
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] occtec:
Haha, lol... You're not serious are you ?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
So if its happening on all wallpapers / screens and you're convinced its not dithering, could you get a pure whiff background and upload both the screenshot and a photograph with a camera of the issue please? All I see is the dithering so far
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
even though you did start a thread about it, you do not get a free lollipop when you buy a nexus 6.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] occtec:
Will do
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] occtec:
Ok, so here I have one screenshot and x2 camera shots. The vertical lines seem to be the most distinct. What are your thoughts?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I definitely cant see anything on the screenshot. As for the camera photos, its tricky because they are a little pixelated, probably due to the contrast.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] occtec:
I'll see if I can get a better camera shot. Thanks for taking the time and having a look. Overall the display is beautiful, just concerned about the vertical lines I see on the display when using my phone :(
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
I think it might be a good idea to go to an optometrist to make sure that the lines aren't caused by your eyes. :eek:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beachbum40:
Your going to have these vertical lines had them on all amoled screens. But if your seeing them on say like your home screen and other places I'd get a replacement. But if you only see them say with just a white or gray screen I wouldn't worry about it. If you want you can try this app out on Google play... Amoled burn in fixer.. Good day
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] occtec:
Thanks for your comments guys, I believe I do have an issue with my display therefore will proceed with a DOA replacement. Cheers

@ Midget

Why is it that, in your signature, you say that you're running the V0.2 of your ROM, and yet its not available (nor even mentioned) to the rest of us.

(btw - this isn't a flame or an attack - I just want to know what is happening)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Midget_1990:
out today or tomorrow, based on a new source (same build as ivan, but new compile - no bugs :) )
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] babak:
wow great news :) but can i ask to you if you will insert the voice command application too please give us some tip for audio blutooth and how to transfer audio to headset please ?

thank you very much.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] tomal:
Any SD card coruption? This is the most annoying bug of this source.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Midget_1990:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] StevePritchard:
Might be a big ask, but if you (or any other ROM developer) are planning on putting/leaving MS Voice Commander on by default, would it be possible to have both US and UK versions please?

I normally end up having to uninstall the supplied version, and install the UK version - apart from minor differences on the speech, the voice recognition is better in the UK version (for UK accents).

Looking forward to a new release - my Helmi v1.1 is good, but looking a bit tired now.

Cheers,

Steve.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] babak:
i asked him if it's possibile to give us a tip for audio transfer to headset (it's known that the voice commander is in conflict with this hack ) but he dosen't said nothing about it , take it easy :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Midget_1990:
if you can find a 1.6 version of the UK one then ill include it as 1.6 is part of WM6, however afaik the latest UK version is 1.5 and you have to pay for that, sorry but i wont include cracked software...

about BT issues, i dont have any BT hardware to test with, sorry.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] eneva78:
Video call?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] shuflie:
I have the 1.6 UK version (which I bought) and you have to pay for the 1.6US version too as far as I'm aware. Any Universal WM6 builds (with whatever applications they come with) are cracked software, otherwise they would be available as official updates. Microsoft may be allowing phone manufacturers to get free updates to WM6 for their devices, but I don't think the same courtesy has been given to end users.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] slimag:
WOW! thats great news!

i'm currnetly using ivans rom and i doesnt want to go back to older builds because stability and speed are amazing ("almost" same as wizards speed with wm6.. sick..)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] pillo78:
Hi Midget, I know this rom will be great as ever... i am waiting for it :D

I've understand the reason for u don't include voice command in this rom so will u include voice tag?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Midget_1990:
voice command will be there, just optional (you will see). but only the US that comes with wm6.

in other news the beta is 98% there. one fidley little bug with the autorun (installing theme, nothing important ;) )
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Midget_1990:
1.0 is released as BETA, I have a few testers, but if you think you can CONTRIBUTE then drop me a PM.

beta will last 12-72 hours depending on how things go.

Ok, i upgraded my JasJar, the upgrade was flawsly, no need for buzdev uni-exut trick. The ROm is a pretty vanilla one, there is no additives except for the new HTC task manager version 1.5 build 29196, it is a good new one with a new icon that replaced the X and ok icon in today screen. There is HTC plugin nor status bar, so, the comm manager is not there anymore. The device lock today pluging also is not there. The speed is not so fast considering a vanila version and without installing any software. memory after stoping the activesync is 41.12 storage, and 25.92 programs, still not tested the leakage yet. Good done Midget.

Hello guys

I decided to re-flash CM 11 because in these days my phone started to freeze continously and reboot.

I followed the usual procedure (wipe system, data, cache, dalvik) but the problems seemed to multiply, e.g. the phone couldn't get any signal with the SIM inside.

Then I tried with another rom (Paranoid 4.6 beta 6) with no results and I reflashed CM 11.

Unfortunately after my last installation the phone stuck on the Google screen.

As last resource I restored my phone with an old backup which i made previously but the phone is still stuck in the Google text screen.

Because the things seem to get worse, i decided to write this thread.

Do you have any tip? Do you think it could be an hardware problem?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] altair486:
Extra information

I forgot to say that fastboot mode is available, in fact I can easily access to TWRP. However even though I reflash the rom, the phone is still stuck in the Google boot screen.

Hey guys,

So I'm unable to place another ZIP on my phone since my PC won't recognize the internal memory. So... what now? How can I restore the original ROM, or install another ROM?

I do have Android SDK, and am able to use fastboot...
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
So you can't even boot into your custom recovery? A malfunctioning ROM shouldn't affect the recovery. Don't you have a backup on your phone?

Transmitted via Bacon
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramshield:
No, I don't have another ZIP file with another custom ROM. I can boot into recovery (power button and volume down button) . So I cant access the phone to place another ZIP file with a custom ROM...
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Ok. Always, always have at least one backup on your phone at all times, always. Which recovery do you use? TWRP has MTP so if you connect your phone to your PC while booted into TWRP you can just copy a ROM zip across.

Today , I share how to extract System.new.dat file or derive system dump of Android devices. Even if you need a particular file app for your device, you can unpack it yourself if you have the firmware file. I tested this method on a System.new.dat file from a Nexus 5 factory image package.

Steps

1. Extract SystemExtractor_v1.2.zip given in Attachment .

2.Copy Sytem.transfer.list and System.new.dat to folder place_for_system.new.dat_system.transfer.list_here.

3.Double click Extraktor_EN.cmd and type option: 1 (Unpacking system.new.dat).

4.Wait till the system dump files are extracted to your desired folder.

5.Now open the folder extract_file_here where files have been extracted. You’ll have your system dump files there.

Plz Hit Thanks if this Helped You !! :):good:
