[General Questions and Answers] Tho-D:
Hi all,

it seems that I bricked my i9100 today. I know I should not have done that, but I disconnected the phone from the USB cable while Odin was trying to apply changes (change partition sizes: 3GB PIT file together with Samsung Stock ROM).

Fo quite some time I already had problems with the partition sizes, because I flashed an (unofficial) CM12 onto my i9100. It worked quite well, except that some of the GApps stopped from time to time. I found out that using ART the Apps need more space and should change the partition size. I tried to do that but Odin was running for more than half an hour without a status change ("Connecting to ..."). :rolleyes:

What do you guys think, is there a possibility to revive this phone?

Could the USB JIG (like this one: http://www.amazon.de/Download-unbrick-Stecker-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B004XJCWW8) be an option?

Thanks for help in advance!

Any help appreciated!!
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
I'm just curious about what ever intended you to act like this?! You must be very courageous...

USB JIG may work or may not work, may be its worth the 4€ to try it. If you need it to be fixed for sure you'll have to go for JTAG repair offered by someone with a RIFFBOX. Service should be 30€ at ebay.
[General Questions and Answers] Tho-D:
This is an US only offer? Can't find on the German site...
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
I already used this service for Samsung phones in germany. May your phone is no longer supported.

Standard Disclaimer: Not responsible for bricking your phone, voiding your warranty, or any other pain or suffering you may feel as result of using this guide.

Well, let's cut to the chase. Following method was inspired by this guide.

Credit goes to [MENTION=3245411]tys0n[/MENTION] for original guide.

Programs/scripts needed for this method:

param editor

Python interpretator (2.7.x)

Any graphical editor

Choose graphical editor by yourself as editiing picture won't be described here.

1) Create image image_new.jpg with resolution of 480x800 pixels and size not bigger than 64673 bytes.

2) Take image that you want to replace from /mnt/.lfs (logo.jpg for example, which is bootlogo) and rename it to image_orig.jpg .

Although using this method any picture in param.lfs can be replaced (but with not bigger size than original ones), logo.jpg is only was tested by author.

3) Then dd your param.lfs:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/param.lfs bs=512000

4) create any empty folder (on PC), put here param_editor.py, param.lfs, image_orig.jpg and image_new.jpg

5) run param_editor.py. If everything was done successfully, in the same folder param_mod.lfs will appear, otherwise message that describe why it has failed will be shown.

Okay, lets to test param_mod.lfs. Of course, you can flash and reboot once it done, but there's a simple method(without having to wait until bootlogo appears... or doesn't) to check whether param.lfs is correct:

1) unmount /mnt/.lfs:

umount /mnt/.lfs

2) flash param_mod.lfs

Will be careful with typing following command. DON'T type wrong number of partition, otherwise your phone probably will be bricked. Better if you just copy/paste this line.

dd if=/sdcard/param_mod.lfs of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 bs=512000

3) now mount it again:

mount -t j4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/.lfs

4) if you can see your custom bootlogo instead of stock one then everything is ok. Now can reboot and have fun :)

5) how to restore original param.lfs? Flash param.lfs, dd'd in step 3 ("3) Then dd your param.lfs:")

ToDo: despite of that I have successfully replaced bootlogo, one thing I wanted to check is how to repair the phone in case if something went wrong. For some reason I was not able to flash neither param.tar.md5 nor param.tar :( . I had to flash three-file stock 4.1.2 to restore it. I would be glad if anyone will provide flashable param.tar.md5 to avoid flashing stock for those who have failed to change bootlogo.

Okay, lets see what bootlogo can be done(custom param.lfs attached below):

[IMG="lol"]http://s010.radikal.ru/i314/1504/8d/5722cca0615c.jpg[/IMG]

Why exactly this bull***t (or whatever you can think)? Answer is that everything that I've done (including this guide) is just for fun, and it's first idea that came to my mind. Have fun :D

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] fluffi444:
Does not work here... Don't know what went wrong...

Tested logo_nfc.jpg and also logo.jpg

Files are as instucted in one folder...

There is no log or mod output... I got only this (with CMD and param_editor.py)..

opened param.lfs
opened ./image_orig.jpg
opened ./image_new.jpg

With normal double klick on *.py the cmd window closes to fast to see anything....

Just for test I tried to use original logo.jpg as image_orig.jpg AND image_new.jpg... But I got the same "output" and no mod file nor log...

I Installed Python 3.4.3 from webseite... Is this correct?

EDIT

Installed now Python 2.7.9 - and now param_mod.lfs was created! - Looks like 3.4.3 does not work...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
It should have been to work... probably I missed something as it should not exit without prompt.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] fluffi444:
Yeb - it's working also with logo_nfc.jpg.

As I said I needed to used Python 2.7.9...

For those with 8160P - It's just a test with "powered by android" logo..

EDIT

And as the logo_nfc.jpg is a bit bigger (65194 bytes) I had to modify the py-script according to this - But as I said it works.

So its not limited to exactly 64673 bytes - But for sure its the best to stay with the same or below original size!

EDIT2

Added "powered by cyanogenmod"

4- when the screen flickers: release home

I have the VZW wireless charging stand and my note 3 has the samsung wireless charging battery cover installed. It all works fine except gSam shows it only charges at 640 mA. VZW claims it charges at 1000 mA. Of course at that charge rate it takes forever to charge the battery in a note 3. If you have a wireless charger could you check with gSam or some other app that shows charging amps could you report what yours says? Of course I am interested in the same stand I have in case mine is defective but I'm also interested in the tylt vu stand or any other you might have. Thanks!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The TWRP Manager app wasn't working correctly for the last few versions so I stopped using it and relied on Odin. I therefore would use Odin to switch recoveries.

This isn't terribly relevant to the OP's request, but after switching to TWRP, you won't need a third-party app or Odin when the time comes to update the recovery. TWRP 2.8.4.0 and later support flashing recovery images within the recovery itself, without needing an app or Odin.

Where you able to figure it out im having the same problem with m8 developer edition.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] schneid:
I am having no problem. I went to the desktop theme maker site first. Maybe that is required to wake it up on your phones.

https://themes.htc.com/#/landing
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TeoBigusGeekus:
Went to the site, even created a custom theme there.

I then tried to launch themes again, no good...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] schneid:
Don't cry too much. The themes created kinda suck. You have no control over colors. They are picked by the app from those in the wallpaper. You can end with pinks and purples which aren't my favorites. As for icons it's easier to use a stand alone icon pack. Only thing that is really useful is that you can change fonts. Then again, the choices are limited.

I want to do things like change notification icons, the colors in Quick Settings, and NavBar icons. We need Xposed. I have Alpha 2 installed and tried Xtended Settings. Phone froze on boot. Did learn latest TWRP will do a Restore of ΠΣΘ ROM. So that's something.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TeoBigusGeekus:
I don't want to be a drama queen, sorry.

I just want blinkfeed to have a black background as it used to do before the recent update, I'm not even interested in fonts or icons.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] schneid:
I think we are expecting too much from HTC Themes. The only way I see to get the colors you want is to use a solid color wallpaper or one with four quadrants and the four colors you want.

As to not being able to log on, maybe they are doing some sort off staggered roll-out and it is out of our control.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pettigrew95:
Yeah, I still can't log on, getting the same error that I posted earlier.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rcharliesam:
I was missing the HTC Account service. If you go in to settings>App Manager>All, see if you have "HTC Account", if it's not there, it's not going to work. Not sure where or when I disabled/deleted mine... but I just ended up flashing a new rom on mine. HTC Account is back and it's working.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pettigrew95:
Doesn't look like I have anything called just "HTC Account". How can this be added? I am on CleanROM 3.0. Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rcharliesam:
I am not sure, maybe the cleanrom thread would be more help. I was using cleanrom also... perhaps Scott didn't have it in there at some point? Since it was recently mentioned that he wouldn't be working on a lollipop rom, I have since switched to Adrenaline and voila, "HTC Account" is there and running.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pettigrew95:
Ugh, I just went to post that question the CleanROM thread but it's closed :(
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rcharliesam:
Oh man, that stinks.

When I was having the issue, I searched a bunch and came up with nothing. Definitely did not seem like a common problem at all. There were some older posts on a different htc product and how missing that service caused the same error that you and I were having, but the people that had the issue simply had to re-enable the service. Not reinstall it.

I tried reinstalling cleanrom, no wipe or anything, and nothing, still wasn't there.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pettigrew95:
Blahh, that really sucks. Anyone have any ideas I can try? Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] schneid:
I suggested early on your probably needed and active HTC Account. I was on CleanROM and thought I I had it there too. Have you all gone to Accounts and Sync and hit the "+" key and added it? It ain't there unless you add it. I do have an app visible in TiBackup called HTC Account. I also have HTC Checkin Service and HTC Connection service which may be pertinent. Maybe HTC Backup includes it. That seem to be readily available to download.

Just some ideas.

Edit: Unzipped CleanROM and there is NO HTCAccount.apk therein. Looked inapp and priv-app so you are on to something. I think there are some all stock ROM dumps in the Development thread. Should be in one of those.

Another thought. CleanROM is Kitkat. Do HTC themes just work on Lollipop?

I think I grabbed the wrong one originally (I took the one in the 6th post), you can use a package explorer to make sure that the file is correct , you are looking for the one with bootanimation.zip, if you install the wrong one, you can just browse to the location and name the file properly. But the one in the first post appears to be the correct one.

I flashed the Lollipop firmware on my note 4 (910G) and badly wanted to root. In the process of rooting i may have used the wrong CWM file. But i checked it doesnt seems so but i assume. Im not sure. Im not a noob (but not an expert) as i tinkered many phones so many times. But today things went wrong for the 1st time.

The issue is the calibration of the digitizer on my Note 4, its completely off, in some areas it doesnt work at all when using my fingers, but with the S-Pen it seems fine. Its impossible to use the phone, the gap is huge.

I re-installed the stock firmware it doesnt seems to install the stock recovery (Assuming its the recovery i flashed which caused this) hence didnt rectify.

I flashed the philz and twrp recoveries (Correct files) thinking having a working recovery would solve and that too did not help.

I flashed CM based ROM assuming it would make a difference, still no.

Please guys help fix this, and i really really hope its not hardware or triggered any chips to malfunction due to incorrect file flash. Pls help and advice what needs to be done to reverse this.

Thank you...
