[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunny530:
I have just received a s4 with a really confusing problem . When you power the phone on normally it displays a weird semi solid green screen but when you boot into download mode everything displays perfectly. Also while phone is off if you connect charger it displays the battery icon perfectly. Phone is 100% stock dont know what rom/baseband version was installed. Green screen also in recovery mode. Phone does not have usb debugging enabled nor is it rooted. Can anyone help?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunny530:
Download Mode says

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME SCH-I545

CURRENT BINARY Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS Official

KNOX KERNEL LOCK 0x0

KNOX WARRANTY VOID 0x0

CSB-CONFIG-LSB 0x30

WRITE PROTECTION Enable

eMMC BURST MODE enabled
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If you're able to get into download mode, download the latest stock firmware and install it to see if that corrects the problem. There should be a link for the stock firmware in the Verizon Galaxy S4 forums, along with other aids that may be of use to you. Installing the firmware is a must, because it will either correct the problem you're having, or it will reveal the problem to be deeper, and likely hardware related.

In the unlikely event that the stock firmware is not available on the forums, you can get a copy from either sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunny530:
I dont know what version was previously installed I tried flashing twrp via odin it comes back as failed because of a auth error. I think the bootloader may be locked if it isnt I dont want to upgrade only to learn bootloader was previously unlocked and I just locked it up by updating. It seems to me if this is a hardware related problem I would think the phone would be green screen in download mode and while charger plugged in? Any suggestions on which android version to try first?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You clearly didn't read my previous post. That pisses me off, because now I'm having to repeat myself when I should NEVER have to.

If you want to brick the S4, then continue doing what you were doing. Otherwise, pay attention, because at no point did I ever mention downloading and installing TWRP. I did however mention downloading and installing the STOCK Verizon S4 ROM from the Verizon S4 forums. You will use Odin to install the ROM. If the Verizon S4 forums do not have a link to the stock Verizon S4 ROM, you are to download the latest copy of the ROM from either sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com. It doesn't matter one whit what was on there before, because by installing the stock ROM you were supposed to have downloaded, you will have the S4 at a known starting point so you can truly diagnose the problems it may have.

AT&T and Verizon bootloaders are locked, thus you cannot just install a recovery and expect it to work. Installing a stock ROM however will work since all the components are verified by Verizon. In installing the stock Verizon S4 ROM through Odin, you will make sure you are using a proper cable, do not have the S4 connected through a hub, will make sure the Samsung USB drivers are installed (available at Samsung's website), and either do not have Kies installed, or have Kies disabled.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunny530:
Sorry I have flashed the latest official verizon firmware and odin said pass, everything went perfect. Phone restarted and again hazy green screen returned. Still cannot veiw anything in recovery or normal mode, safe mode does not help either. Download mode and battery charging still show up perfectly fine. Any help would be greatly appriciated.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It's hard to think of this as a hardware issue, but I believe you have one. As strange as it may seem, the issue is not with the screen itself, but the GPU.

Using Windows equivalents, Download Mode is "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" while Safe Mode is just like Windows' "Safe Mode". "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" dumps you to the command line, i.e. DOS. It doesn't need a GUI so it doesn't have drivers loaded to support it. "Safe Mode" has a GUI so it has to load drivers to support that.

On the S4 the concept is similar, only the drivers are called "libraries". Download mode doesn't use a GUI as it's part of the bootloader, so it doesn't need the GPU, thus it doesn't need the GPU library. This is why download mode functions. The other modes all have a GUI, which requires the GPU and a library for the GPU loaded. Since the GPU has failed you get the green screen instead of what you should see. The library itself isn't the culprit because if it were, loading a new ROM as you had would have fixed the problem. The screen isn't the culprit because the screen works correctly in download mode. If it were the screen, the green would appear in Download Mode as well as the other modes. Therefore the GPU is most likely the problem.

Unfortunately, that means a new motherboard, on top of trying to remove the glass for replacement.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunny530:
PROBLEM ALMOST FIXED!!.. Well kind of, i seperated the broken glass from the screen and placed the phone in the freezer. An hour or so later i pulled the phone back out of the freezer and switched it on everything worked perfect i switched on usb debugging and rooted the phone using towelroot and safestrapped it. when i updated supersu i had to reboot the phone and then again green screen i also noticed the phone had gotten really hot. I tried the freezer trick again and the phone turned on like normal no green screen. Does anyone know what maybe causing this issue???

Thank you very much for all the help and info you have given me i really do appriciate it
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Bad GPU, as previously stated, though there are two other possibilities I can think of. The first is that GPU has a bad connection to the motherboard that manifests when heated. Or else the motherboard has a stress fracture that manifests when heated. The latter has happened with other devices but is not common. A solder reflow of the GPU could cure the former problem.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunny530:
Before I give the reflow a shot I wanted to mention another piece to this puzzle. When the phone is working fine as long as the screens backlight is on the phone will display everything correctly as soon as it turns off and you turn it back on green screen. It doesn't matter if you wait two minutes or 20 minutes. Dont know if thathelps narrow down culprit
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It doesn't narrow things down any.

the solution

you need to change your battery than you install the firmware using odin than you download antivirus. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] singh54:
Hi Everyone,

As we all know, after updating the android from ICS to JB and to KK, we lost some wonderful features.

One is enabling the slide option before unlocking the screen (whether pattern/pin/password is used). Its present in all the Cyanogenmod based ROMS (CM 11 and CM 12). But not everyone should use the Custom Roms. Some will stay in the Stock ROM......

THIS TIP/TRICK IS FOR THE DUDES WHO WANTS TO BE ALWAYS IN STOCK. ALTHOUGH ITS FOR THE STOCK ROM USERS, BUT YOU MUST BE ROOTED TO USE THIS ON YOUR PHONE.... LOL.....

IImportant: "You must ROOT your phone before going for this"...

Prerequisites:

1. Rooted S4 Mini with KK OS

2. Have Xposed installer installed on the Phone.

Steps:

1. Properly ROOT ur S4 mini (GT I9192/90/95).

2. Install the Xposed Installer Framework.

3. Download the module attached in this post.

4. Just go to xposed installer and activate the module by selecting it, then reboot ur phone.

Thats it....

Now go to settings-->security-->choose pattern/pin/password, and set it... Lock the screen, and while unlocking you can see the slide option instead of locking screen with pattern/pin/password. You can simply slide the circle, and u r able to see the locking screen....

Actually the credit goes to Mr.Stevolk, the dev who developed this xposed module.. i am sharing this because i tried this in stock and it works flawlessly.... Some of you friends will also like this i think and i hope too..... THANKS.... and one more thing if it seems to be a old thing, please ignore this....:D:D:D:D

I e-mailed the sales department at Mugen and asked them if it was possible to setup a group buy for their high capacity batteries so we can get them at a discounted rate. I got a response this morning and basically if we can get enough people, we can get as much as 25% off!

So whos interested?

Check here for your battery...

http://www.mugenpowerbatterijen.nl/onlineshop.html

Once I get a number of people interested I can report back to Mugen and we'll see what happens from there, please reply and let us know if...

Yes, for sure I will buy one.

Maybe.

Maybe, depending on the price.

Also include the model of the battery you're interested in. I.e. HLI–P3600SL

Sorry guys, I would have made this into a poll but I'm not sure how to do it or maybe a mod has to do it.

Thanks for your interest.

Mugen Bulk Buy - Australia

Guys

We're happy to help out with a Mugen bulk buy in Australia if there's some real volume there.. We do regular orders on Mugen and, unlike unbranded batteries where there is 50% margin, Mugen is less than 25% usually - so 20-25% for a big bulk batch is realistic.

Freight is a major component of the cost.. So if there is a bulk order (even across multiple models), we can organise something like a discount coupon ID for Press Digital to get a batch in one shipment more cheaply..

We're open to ideas!

Here's the Mugen range we carry at the moment;

Guys,

We can't cost effectively export batteries from Australia in small quantities due to customs issues.. So the bulk buy we're suggesting would need to be limited to Australian buyers at the moment.. Sorry Eric.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krenex:
Hello everyone, i have tried to recover and bypass my password on Z3 D6603.

Cannot remember the password/PIN Code at all, so i cant turn USB Debugging or anything else ON. I have tried to flash custom roms and new firmwares and unlock Bootloader with FlashTool/Emma and any attemps dont give results. Also IMEI Unlocker what comes with Flashtool doesnt work. Tried multiple times with code what i got from Sony's site,

My warranty is gone so i cant give my device to them for unlocking or master resetting, so i need to do it by myself, are there any tips how i can bypass my password or master reset whole device without USB Debugging? I really want get access back to my device, its too expensive to leave it because i have bad memory.

Attached a .JPG with this thread, that picture tells my phone information what is possible needed for unlocking this.

If you can help me send Private Message or just post to thread, Thanks in advance everyone!

http://www.hardreset.info/devices/sony/sony-xperia-z3-d6633/ try option 5 it'll allow you to factory reset in recovery mode
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
You will not be able to enter recovery unless you have installed one. The info on this site is incorrect.

It also says it if for the D6633 not the D6603 which this user has
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serophia:
I have tried it on my D6616 variant and was able to boot into recovery. Here's the step to get into it, Power off your device while it's off hold both volume up + down then hold power button after 5-10 seconds it'll vibrate and load the sony logo the moment it does release the three buttons and press and hold the camera button until green android guy shows up, that should allow you to factory reset your device.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arju:

keep in mind that the device is different from what you have gotten but the proceedure should be the same.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
That would work only a locked bootloader

The OP here has not confirmed that the boot is locked or unlocked. He says he has no warranty (Suggesting it is unlocked) so this will not work.

The best way will be to flash a FTF with flashtool, there is no need for USB debugging in order to do that
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serophia:
No I did not everything is left untouched didn't flash anything to this device
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:

Its not a real recovery, no chance to flash anything there, update or use ADB. It also seems it is not available on all devices. It is not on my phone. (D6603)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serophia:
Ah you meant custom recovery lol yea sorry us t-mobile users are stuck until we get root exploit. Hopefully this will work for OP so he can reset his device.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
No I meant a stock recovery,

All my xperia devices have never had a stock recovery, whilst other devices do that allow updates and adb and backing up user data etc.

The one you showed me is basically just a way to reset the device or enter safe mode.

Hi, i published this logo quiz recently, but since there hasn't been many downloads yet i decided to do little "promotion" here. Also, someone reported that he can't open the game again after closing it once. It would be really helpful to get some more info if someone is having similar issues.

Playing the game is simple: try to guess all the logos (currently 31 levels), when answer is correct you get some coins which you can use to buy helpful hints.

Dear all,

My Zenfone 5 is A500CG with Model Number T00F and Build Number ASUS_T00F_WW_user_1.18.40.9_xxxxx.

I followed all the step one by one, first dowload the right firmware from official ASUS to my PC then extract it. Then I transfer the extracted file to internal memory my zenfone 5.. Then disconnect the phone with my PC. After that, notification appear so I chose the firmware that I transfer to my internal phone memory before and than running the process.

In the middle of process upgrading suddenly stop and it says error: "assert failed getprop("ro.build.asus.sku")=="WW" bla bla bla...., why???.

FYI i already download the right firmware: "ASUS ZenFone 5(T00F/T00J) software Image: V1.18.40.10 for WW SKU only". I do it again from the beginning with carefully step by step but still that error message came again.

Can you help me... Thanks B4..
[General Questions and Answers] UK3G:
I have recently purchase a Note 4 clone phone from China. It works very well but I have a problem. When I got it I inserted an EE micro simcard which work fine whilst I waited for my proper talktalk simcard to arrive. Now however when I insert the talktalk simcard in I get no signal and the message emergency calls only.

I think with these types of the devices, once you insert the first sim card into it, they tend to lock onto that network and won't work with anyone other.

My question is therefore:-

Is there a way to unlock a Note 4 clone phone

If the phone can not be unlocked, I was thinking that if I back up the ROM and reflash the phone with the same ROM it might fix the problem. But I do not know how to back up the ROM. I've read a number of threads but still remain confused.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can not use the phone at all now. The device is rooted.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I'm using official CM12 (CM12 have native app2sd and native root), don't need install nothing more.

In configuration select Apps

In right side top have 3 vertical dots, select it

In Preferred Install Location select external SDcard

Go back to Apps, select one and select move to SDcard.

In stock 5.0.2 you need root and app2sd to better control apps in internal and external memory.

[XDA Assist] EquinoxIHDI:
I very recently purchased a used Galaxy Note 3 that has been well used and loved. I bought it because I was told that the phone died whilst updating to Lollipop and because of this, the phone will now not boot. It is stuck in a bootloop with Recovery........ In the top corner.

Now my problem is this, I cannot get into Recovery Mode. It Just turns off again before I can access the screen, vibrates, then comes back on, rinse and repeat. I can get I to Odin mode, download mode, if you like.

I have tried flashing a Lollipop stock OS onto the device but I continually had the same problem, so I downloaded a CWM Recovery and flashed that onto the phone, but now I'm getting an error of SEAndroid is not enforcing... Blah blah.

I am incredibly stuck here and I know literally nothing about rooting. I just want this fixed, and am willing to try anything you throw at me if you're willing to push me to get there. Thanks, and I appreciate any advice!
[XDA Assist] jd1639:
Thank you for using XDA Assist. If you bought a device that was not working it may not be recoverable. Your best bet is to flash the stock firmware using Odin in your case. I've provided a link below for your device. Look in the general and q&a forums for how to return your device to stock. Good luck to you!
