hello guys , can someone please walk me through on how to downgade from cm12 to stock 4.1.1 ?

any help is appreciated
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yoonus:
Whats you bootloader and Baseband version.

That will determine if you can downgrade to 4.1.1.

If you have a newer baseband, you won't be able to downgrade to 4.1.1.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolozaur:
I have tried to flash the Android 5.0.1 stock firmware N910FXXU1BOC3 on my Note 4 N910F and I'm getting some error in Odin when it's writing the hidden.img.ext4 and failing. On the device, in Download Mode i see the error message volume size is too big.

Right now i'm on Android 4.4.4 N910FXXU1ANK4.

First thought was that i left Reactivation Lock on and saw a bunch of other threads where it says that this might be the main issue as I am flash a different CSC Region ROM. I managed to get back to N910FXXU1ANK4 after the failed flash of N910FXXU1BOC3 with Kies3 and Emergency re-initialization (thank you Samsung for finally doing something useful with Kies). I disabled the reactivation lock and attempted again to flash N910FXXU1BOC3 but failed with the same error.

After some searching, i found that the issue might be because i have to re-partition the device in order to fit the new partiton sizes for Android 5.0.1.

This should be done with the Odin option to Re-partition but that requires a PIT file in order to have the re-partition information.

I have looked into the md5 archive for the N910FXXU1BOC3 ROM and initial 5.0.1 release for N910F N910FXXU1BOB4 ROM but I could not find a PIT file in order to re-partition.

Now my question is, when going from Android 4.4.4 N910FXXU1ANK4 to Android 5.0.1 N910FXXU1BOC3, do I have to re-partition with Odin, and if so, where do I get the correct PIT file ?

Thanks.

hi,

i have a N910F.. When i went from stock Android v 4.4.4 to Lollipop .. German Rom.. BOB4 and after that again to BOC3 I did not repartion anything. in fact repartion must be untick , I only made sure that auto reboot was ticked and F. Reset Time ticked then, place the tar/(md5 )file in AP section of Odin. Switch phone off, boot into download mode, connect phone via usb and wait for blue color to light up ID:COM box (above auto reboot) check if everything is connected and correct boxes ticked and then flash.( see screenshot ) After flash your phone will "try" to boot up but will optimise apps first. This can take some time (my case about 10 min? or so)

Plse take note that i am referring from stock Rom v4.4.4 to stock Lollipop

v 5.0.1 Also you only flash the one file....... "tar"/(md5 ) thats all.

good luck
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolozaur:
Thank you for the reply, thinking back I don't think i tried to flash BOB4 first and then BOC3. I will try this today and come back with some feedback.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willcor:
hi ,

i personally , don't think it will make any difference or matters,

if you flash the one or the other ..but hey ..who knows ..?

Only reason ,i flashed BOB4 as it was the first Lollipop available and BOC3 was a later date ( March 2015 )

good luck
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itschemistry:
I have the similar issue. KK and BOB4 roms work and install perfectly. however I am having the same issues while installing BOC3 rom be it Stock or Custom.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolozaur:
So I finally managed to solve the issue. Seems that the image I was downloading from Sammobile was not that good.

I was trying to install N910FXXU1BOC3_N910FVFG1BOC2_CNX - Romania Vodafone. I was unable to install it no matter what I tried.

I was able to install N910FXXU1BOC3_N910FTPD1BOC1_TPD - Netherlands unknown, without any issues.

Something that i noticed is that when loading the tar with issues in Odin, total binary size was shown as 0 mb, while on the Netherlands tar file it was showing 3.3gb.

Also the tar sizes where a bit strange : RO CNX 3.6gb - NL TDP 3.4gb. So I would imagine that extra 200mb might be an issue for the partition size (suspecting bloatware maybe?).

Long story short, the tar file I was trying was the issue and downloading a different CSC file solved this for me.

Also, I tried an advice from the forum, where you extract the recovery.img and convert to tar and first flash that tar before the ROM, but that did not work in this case.

Thank you for the replies and support.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BNerd89:
Slightly off topic but I would stay away from BOC3. Many people I know have had problems with BOC3 Firmware.

I am going to be re-flashing BOC3 when I get back home... I must admit when I flashed BOC3 I didn't do a fresh wipe before flashing it so might have been my problem.

Have you wiped your phone before flashing the firmware?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolozaur:
Yes, I wiped from the recovery before and after the BOC3 upgrade and I must say that I like how BOC3 feels.

Battery life feels about the same for me - 50% when I get home (9-5), considering i have BT on all day as i have a smartwatch paired, exchange account, 3 gmails, skype push and a few others.

Love the new Smart Lock features with Trusted Places an On Body Detection.

One thing I noticed, manual check for updates on Security Policy Updates does not give any results, not sure if that is working correctly.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilal.abdeen:
Experts,

After 2 days of searching, I could not find a solution to my specific problem. If I missed it, please accept my apologies, and send me the link to the existing thread.

My Samsung Galaxy SIII (i9300) has been playing up. I did a factory reset 4 times during the last 2 months. Two days ago, it started by itself. Then, I could not get into factory reset, anymore. Whenever I start it, the screen is full of some white pattern (no readable text). I can get into the download mode (Volume Down, Power, Home buttons), though.

I thought of downloading a new firmware. I tried using ODIN 3.10, with no luck. I got a message complaining about the PIT file (sorry, forgot the exact message), although I was not using one. Then, I tried to use some PIT files, none of them helped

I tried Heimdall ver 1.4.0. I fiddled around many times, until I figured out that the firmware files in samMobile.com cannot be used as is by Heimdall. I had to unzip them, and get a PIT file. By the time, I got this far, my mobile won't respond in any way or form. Did I use all of the battery charge doing the above? Does it need to be "working" for battery charging to work?

1. Do I need a charged battery to resume my trials to fix it, or it now became hard bricked :crying:?

2. Is there a way to tell for sure if an i9300 is hard bricked?

3. On another note, and with the assumption that it is NOT hard bricked and that a charged battery would help, I suppose the use of a JIG dongle won't be any different than using ODIN/Heimdall. Right?

Thank you very much for your effort and time in trying to help me.

This has been bugging me for a while now. I have a galaxy S4 with stock 4.4.2 and i have checked the 'hide contacts without number' option in the contacts list what doesn't seem to apply when I search my contacts. It only works when I'm browsing if I search for a name then it shows all the profiles that was hidden before, giving me an annoying time finding the right one with the number between the other matched ones with email address only. Is there any way to work around that and really hide those contacts without number from the stock dialer app?

If you want WM5 then the quickest way would be to sell your Magician and buy a Prophet. It is of the same size, so it will fit whatever cases you may have for your Magician. You'd get WiFi and a 2MP camera! Don't let the black plastic body of the Prophet fool you. It is very tough. The Prophet has been around for some time now so it should be cheap.

Can someone please help me in troubleshooting this issue. I seen another user have this same exact issue but it ended with him sending it to the service center. I have performed a full dat/factory reset.... I have performed a full reflashing of the stock rom i have re-rooted. I am all out of options.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serinety:
Capacitive touch and spen use 2 totally different chips inside the tablet. The spen uses a Wacom digitizer, while touch interaction is processed using standard methods.

In fact, each one has their own ribbon cable from the screen to different points on the motherboard.

I have no idea how rooting broke your touch ability, but the spen working is not an indication that the touch interaction is not damaged in some way.

I can tell you that on mine (especially when using papyrus) it has a tendency to lose touch until I shut the screen off and turn it back on. Maybe something screwy is going on with the touch driver. Flash back to stock and see if it's still broken

Did the reset work?

I ask because we just got a used tablet off ebay and it is doing the same thing to me. My wife emailed Samsung who said blah-blah-blah so we are stuck with it. I know enough to brick a phone really fast, but I have been running custom Roms a long time and have replaced screens so I may check the cables on my day off.

But it was doing it before I rooted it, recovery, and Hyper-drive Rom.

though the knox had been tripped before I got it, so I don't know what has been done to it before this. So please let me know what you think even if you try it and it does or doesn't work and I will gladly do the same for you.

Hello,

we are currently researching on intellectual property modularity in case of software and we are looking for software that has different licenses or is modular (like open source Linux and proprietary linux drivers, or Qt with different licenses for the basic open source package and proprietary additional features) or other cases where the software is separated within into different licenses (so not technically separated, but only in case of source-code which has different licenses).

Would be very nice, if you know some software. If you want to know more about it, just ask here.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gatamous:
Hi,

I am after some help trying to get my HTC One back up and running.

I unlocked the bootloader using the htcdev website and installed cyanogen mod.

This was working fine for quite some time, until I recently wanted to download an app that was only available on stock phones.

I tried editing the /system/build.prop file to change the version to fool the app store but that didn't work.

Then when I restored my backup build.prop, I think I got the permissions wrong or something and the phone rebooted and went into a boot loop.

Then I followed a guide to get twrp on the device which worked.

Then I followed another guide attempting the restore the device to stock using the commands

fastboot oem lock

and

fastboot oem rebootRUU

.

Now the phone is stuck in a boot loop. All I can do is hold down power and volume down to get to HBOOT and Fastboot. If I try and load recovery it reboots to the same menu.

What else can I try, or do I now have a new paperweight?

Thanks for any suggestions.

OK,

Never mind.

I was unable to unlock my bootloader because I was typing fastboot flash unlock token Unlock_code.bin instead of unlocktoken being one word.

One I fixed that the twrp recovery started again.

Once I opened that the phone apeared on my PC as a storage device.

I copied a cyanogen mode zip to that directory then installed it via twrp.

Now I have cyanogenmod working again.

Yay - no longer a brick.

I guess I am out of luck with reverting it to stock if the RUU I need is not available for my carrier - is that right?

If so I'll stay on cyanogen mod and not worry about reverting to stock.

Next time I guess I'll take one of these nandroid backups while the phone is still stock. Hindsight.
