[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironman3636:
Hi everyone, I have a weird problem. Suddenly my phone turn of and when I turn on every app I have (included system apps) starts to FC and can't use any app.

I have TWRP but when I try to perform a factory reset the recovery dies and the only way to restart is perform a hard reset. Can't install any rom, any backup and when I do a wipe cache or dalvik or system has no effect on the system. Can't install anything via ADB or fastboot. Can't install a new recovery. Can't install nothing, is like the /data partition is read only.

Sorry for my poor english, hope understand me. Cheers.

Pongo el problema en castellano, tal vez alguien entienda mejor.

El telefono se me apago de repende, cuando lo volvi a encender todas las aplicaciones empezaron a tirar FC y no lo pude usar mas. No puedo hacer un factory reset desde recovery porque se reinicia y queda trabado en el recovery, haciendo wipe system, cache y dalvik no hace ningun efecto, no puedo instalar ninguna rom ni actualizacion ni backup ni nada. Intente volverlo de fabrica con los scripts que hay en la pagina y ninguno hace ningun efecto en absoluto, tampoco puedo instalar un recovery distinto, porque a pesar de que me dice que esta todo bien cuando reinicio sigue con el recovery que tenia. Intente montar /data desde recovery y me dice que la memoria es solo lectura.

Alguien tiene idea de lo que pueda ser?

Desde ya muchas gracias. Saludos.

Mmm I'll say dead nand but try e2fsck from adb.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironman3636:
What is dead nand? Can you help me a little bit with e2fsck? I have read a couple of thing about it but I dont know exactly what to do-

Thanks.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fburgos:
Im not really shure how it goes, on this device I don´t own the device yet.... remember you could end in a worst brick.

Basically you setup correct adb and drivers on your computer, connect the phone, start adb and enter some commands.

adb devices <---- to check if device is recognize by the pc

adb shell <---- start command line for the phone

cat proc/partitions <-----this shows all the partitions in a format mmcblk0p##

umount /system

umount /data

e2fsck -fv dev/block/mmcblk0p## <--- I personally did this for all ## i had in my phone this ## is the number of the partition, data and system are commonly the biggest partitions
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironman3636:
Thanks for your time man. I have use these commands and nothing, errors everywhere and nothing happens, Just 2 blocks are formatted and the phone stills in the same conditions.

Thanks.

I recently purchased an unlocked AT&T Samsung Galaxy Tab S 4G 10.4 tablet and can not get it to connect on the T-Mobile network.

I've gone through the setup process with the T-Mobile techies and they were unable to get it to work. They think it's something in AT&T's software that's preventing this.

Does anyone have any ideas or solutions?
[Acer Iconia A500] brianvu12:
I know there have been many others with this problem and I've tried the most common solution: running recovery mode with an external SD. I've tried many different update files however it always get stuck on the stock recovery screen. The android is lying down with a red triangle and an exclamation mark - some files will show a loading bar under it while others do not. I have tried reset the tablet both by doing volume + power + lock screen sliding and manually resetting it via the button beforehand.

Any ideas?

Thanks

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pellet:
Hello everyone,

Sorry if this was posted already - I am typing this up in between other projects and I wanted to put something out here so I wouldn't forget. This last weekend, I purchased a used Galaxy S5 CDMA phone branded by US Cellular. I searched and searched for a way to unlock it but I was not able to find anything that worked for me. My phone is currently running Android 4.4.2 and none of the *# dial codes would do anything for me. Finally I was near a local US Cellular today so I brought my phone in and they unlocked the SIM for me so I can use it with other carriers. I haven't had a chance to go through the phone yet after the unlock, but I plan on looking at it tonight when I get home to find out if I can figure out how it was unlocked so I can share that info with anyone on the site who would like to unlock their SM-G900R4. I'm hoping that during their unlocking process, the hidden menus were left visible so I can look at the phone's file structure. I'll report back as soon as I know more.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pellet:
Just a quick follow up... I didn't have a chance to go through my phone extensively last night, but I did see something that may or may not be of interest. When I got my phone back after being unlocked, there was an icon for mceFramework. When I clicked on it, it ran in the upper corner of the phone and when I swiped down it said it would be uninstalled. From what I have read about it, it has really nothing to do with the unlocking of the phone though.

Depending on what time I get home tonight will determine if I get to really dig into the phone tonight or not. I'm hoping there is something I will be able to find that will be useful. The US Cellular phone is a bit different though, as I mentioned before regarding the *# codes... No matter what *# codes I try, they do not work... even something as simple as *#060# does nothing on my phone - even after being unlocked. If I find something, I'll report back.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romey15:
Any luck figuring this one out? I've been told that my phone is unlockable, but I have to take it to a US Cellular store. The closest one to me is 28 hours away:) I'd love to fix this myself. Thanks!

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1.21jigawatts:
Hello, I came across this thread and just thought I'd share how I was able to unlock my Galaxy s5 Mini (US Cellular). I tried just about everything, but what finally worked was simply flashing the stock rom which can be found at the sammobile site. Use 'Odin', instructions included on the website.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] besusanameeva:
Stock rom? like from a tmobile s5? Please clarify.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1.21jigawatts:
Hello -- stock rom by model number. I think in most cases this is just stock Android for the carrier of specified model, minus bloatware and network lock. Well, I correct myself -- there may be some bloatware, but certainly less than what was there after performing the factory reset. The link to 'sm-g900r4' rom is at sammobile(dotcom), firmwares, search for model number -- and download latest version.

In my case, phone model is 'sm-g800r4' (US Cellular). Everywhere I looked online suggested that I had to contact US Cellular and request instructions for unlocking, but they will only do this if you have the original sim card. So, I finally flashed the stock rom using Odin, following very basic instructions (included on the rom site). After flashing, I still had the US Cellular splash screen, but my verizon sim suddenly worked with the device. Next step for me -- root and replace that ugly US Cellular splash screen with the gorgeous lollipop boot animation. Very nice. :)

If you need assistance with specific instructions let me know, and I can provide a quick summary.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbloom130:
I have two questions.

1. Is there a way to "Trust" my bluetooth headset? Every time I connect I have to enter the pin.

2. Does location "Smart" Lock work for anyone? I am having no luck with it. I still have to unlock my phone whenever I am in a trusted location, even after unlocking it at that location.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seco2004:
Both options work pretty accurately for me. I have a Bluetooth headset and whenever I have it connected the phone never asks for the unlock pattern. The trusted location failed at me very few times, but I have the location settings set to "high accuracy" mode, maybe that's the issue with you? Do you get accurate location when you use maps?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbloom130:
Clarification on #1, I have to reenter the pairing pin "0000" every time, the "Smart" lock works with my bluetooth.

-I do have "Hight Accuracy" selected, and my google maps in within a few feet when I zoom in. I have the circle around the lock when I turn the screen on, but it still asked for the pin.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweker:
Whatever actual tft files incl. any of the installed files from firmwares should be MOVED to c:\users\YOU\.flashTool folder first. I just flashed mine like yesterday with success. Phone should be in airplane mode, security settings 'unknown sources' checked, 'verify aps' unchecked. In developer options check both 'usb debugging' and allow mock locations. With phone off, hold vol button down and plug cable in usb port. Light should flash red then green quickly and go out. Let go of the button. Run tool. As long as the drivers are installed everything should run smooth allowing you to choose the 93 tft downgrade rom. Best is to allow it to wipe the phone and install clean, otherwise upon reboot phone will give multiple errors needing attention. You don't need all the drivers, just the ones that correspond to the z3, at the bottom, and a couple from the top.

I had to do this a couple times before I actually got it rooted. What exactly phone model and tft are you using?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Make sure the FTF file is not corrupted, try re downloading it.

Your phone does not have to be air plane mode, does not need unknown sources checked, does not need verify apps unchecked, does not need usb debugging on (not if you are just flashing a FTF) and does not need allow mock locations.

In fact you can take a phone out of the box and flash a FTF without changing any settings on it

Prepare the FTF and wait until flashtool prompts you to attach in flash mode.

I would like to place a request for aid in getting Sony devices to enable Bayer raw stream that's standard in Qualcomm SOC

I am one of the freedcam developer and we use this raw stream to encode it as a raw dng file but we have only had luck with one Sony device the Sony Xperia L it had the raw listed in picture format it was working on stock rom but something changed in cm12 where it stopped working .

regarding xperial l cm12 it seem issue maybe platform side rather than kernel.

regarding msm8974 devices

https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/ke...tform/msm/camera_v2/sensor/sony_camera_v4l2.c

line 1056 seems to be missing the Bayer format as can be seen in the basic driver in this case imx 135 .

https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/ke.../media/platform/msm/camera_v2/sensor/imx135.c

line 84

i think making changes here would make raw stream reachable from android even without picture formats being listed.

hopefully this is workable thanks any feedback would be great.

I saw that and spoke to the sony dev about it based on what he said i think raw might just work but unfortunatly i do no not have a sony device to test . If yo do indeed have have a z1 z2 z3 .. running aosp with experimental camera stack try the following

Goto Playstore

Search for Freedcam

Run Freedcam

Settings > Picture Format see if you see bayer-mipi or bayer-qcom

Scroll Down tap on Save Camera Param click close

Tap on Format button and press raw then capture test raw

in DCIM/FreeDCam/ you should find a .txt file and .raw file

there should be multiple bayer formats try all till you land on one that works.

if you do indeed have .raw file then converting to dng should be a breeze:good:

Hi defcomg! I don't know if is any useful but I'm running marshmallow with unlocked bootloader in a z3 and I tried freedcam, the camera is not capturing anything (screen all black) and in the API settings only appear 'camera1" and "playmemories", oh btw, there is nothing with "format settings" like you say in your previous post..
[Sony Cross-Device General] zezadas:
maybe there are some lib's dependencies...
[Sony Cross-Device General] defcomg:
Hmmm good thing you mention it sony devices could only return jpeg only with apk below should return whatever the camera supports.

The marshmallow rom does it contain the experimental framework if not i doubt it will show anything else other than jpeg.

from the screenshot seems freedcam dies while setting up cam this results in black preview and missing menu options

in DCIM/ Create a folder named FreeDCam and inside another named DEBUG what debug will do is start logging why freedcam dies then in FreeDCam you should find a txt file with logs

anyway apk below does not filter sony devices
[Sony Cross-Device General] rspy:
With the Debug apk the camera works and I can take two or three photos and then crash.. Here is the log if you want it ! :good:
