[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chrizoroer:
Hi,

I dropped my phone into the pool. Well, **** happens. The problem is, that there was VITAL DATA on it. Pictures and text messages I need for court. This data is so crucial that I really desperate getting it back.

I dried off the phone. Took it appart as far as I dared and put the parts into a bowl of rice for at least 48 hours. I tried powering it on twice since then. The weird part is it seems to boot but the screen stays black. I tried plugging it in to my computer, but all that happens is my computer saying he can't recognize the device.

I am past the point of fixing it myself. I need professional help. Does anyone of you have experience with a company that recovers data from phones?

Again, this is really really important data for court. It could change the outcome...

Thanks for your help!

I've got one that boot loops, even turning off while booting to odin...

Wonder if there's a way to pull the data off the flash... has anyone tried desoldering the flash to get the data?

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xalarsk:
Hi all,

to make it plain and short: I messed up.

I have a GT-S5830i which I unrooted according to the Sticky Note in the forum, installed CWM Recovery and then 'installed from ZIP' a CM9_cooperve_Beta_05.zip that I found in one of the posts in the forum. The installation went on without error message but since then the phone does not make it beyond the initial screen "Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i". I can start recovery mode and Download mode. In reovery mode I can format cache, data, sdcard, sd-ext but *not* system. Error Message: "E: format_volume: make_ext4fs failed on /dev/block/st19"

I have tried already several methods according to the forum, e.g.

1) 'install from ZIP' older Cyanogenmod

2) the tool ext4_formatter.zip

3) re-flash with ODIN with several tar-ROMs, all failed. Odin finds the phone (since I start Odin as Admin now), but after I hit 'start' it tries to establish a connection to the phone and ends after a while with 'Failed'

I'm basically lost now, don't know what else to do. Any advise is appreciated (it's my mom's phone, she is getting impatient ;) )

Thx, cheers!

Hi [MENTION=6597124]xalarsk[/MENTION] , So you can't format your /system partition , which is required for installation of your rom ,, you need to try this method from here mate . Follow my instruction from the line @post#4 :"1. Download one of the newest ,,," to the end of the post and please do not use CM9 beta , because it is unstable and will wreak havoc with your system eventually . ( either cm7 or cm11 is the place you should go for CyanogenMod experience for cooperVe device ).

If you fail at any level please give us your logcat ( error massage ) for better support for your Odin process you mentioned .

Cygwin not working

Hi [MENTION=6251244]ehsanotaku[/MENTION],

thank you for your quick reply, it's appreciated!

Unfortunately I couldn't get cygwin to install all necessary packets. The ZIP-test always failed. I have a Linux system running (Linux Mint 17) though, and hope that might help. In the meantime I tried to download the already split packages as described in another of your forum posts, but the website provides only exe-files instead of zip-files. Is there another location to download them?

#UPDATE: It seems there is a SplitFUS2 version for linux somewhere but couldn't find links to download. Anybody can help? I'll also PM Doky73

Cheers, Holger
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehsanotaku:
Cygwin was meant for windows platform to get the native Linux environment/command line you already got there . You can create a virtual instance of the windows 7 inside virtualbox or any kind of apps you are preferring such as Vmware/Parallel etc etc to get the job done .

Splitfus2 only supports windows platform as far as i know mate,,, either vitalization as i said or the pre-made zip package ( which is clearly not .exe file ,, push the download now and get yourself a descent downland manager,, tested and zip packaged delivered ) from here is the feasible approach for your problem .

Unbricked, SD card not recognized

Update: Phone has been unbricked, many thanks for that!

Currently I have still issues with the external SD card, which also holds the ZIP files. Phone won't recognize it, not even format it properly. Still working on that.

Cheers, Xala
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehsanotaku:
Mostly this happened because of the bug inside CM9 beta you used . Study this topic mate i troubleshooted while ago for a sample of the symptoms external SD card would show after unstable ICS usage .

Also as an alternative to the method i instructed there , you can format/Re-partition your SD card by putting it inside card reader and using app such as free MiniTool Partition Wizard "Gparted" tool for Linux users Or "iPartiton" for Mac users etc etc ,, to get the job done . You can find several tutorials inside XDA for this matter mate.

Phone works with CM7.2, can I upgrade to CM9?

Hi again,

first of all, props to [MENTION=6251244]ehsanotaku[/MENTION], I will hit the 'Thanks' buttons. :)

Now, this is a bit beyond the topic, but I'd like to ask anyway for recommendations of CM9 roms. The one I picked from a post inside this forum bricked my phone and made me start this thread, I don't want to go down this road again. So I'd be glad for any recommendation of a stable ROM that will put my phone beyond Android 4.0.

Cheers again,

So i have a similar issue. I used to have CM11 installed, but i figured thats too slow for me. Then i went back to stock rom (XXMJ2) which works fine. But now i have a problem.

Everytime i want to flash a stock based or cm7 based rom on my phone, it gets messed up. Today i wanted to flash this

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-ace/s5830i-develop/cm-7-2-kitkat-smart-r2-t3075267

i naturally downloaded clockwork mod recovery (5.0.2.6) and tried to flash it. Flashing was done pretty quickly (10 seconds or so) and when i rebooted, i obviously got stuck at sammy logo. Now booting back to the recovery (first e3 then cwm) i got bunch of error about partritions not being able to be mounted (happens the same if i want to manually mout them or format them)...

So, what to do ?

I have a suspicion, that flashing CM11 and the latest cwm recovery for it somehow messed up partritions.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehsanotaku:
ok not going to excruciating details of symptoms and explaining all of your errors for now just please read my advice @ post2 of this topic and follow the procedures accordingly and finished it with formatter tools and cm7 instructions you will find there ., after that you can install Kitkat Smart R2 like you are coming from another CM7 build instruction . btw some problem regarding super user privileges and play store 492-498 infamous bug was reported for this fairly new development .
[General Questions and Answers] TehAquos:
So a couple of months ago, i rooted my phone (Gs3 Sgh-T999). And last month i finally decided to download a ROM. After doing so it was going great until my phone would reboot and get stuck on the reboot screen. So i would end up having to factory data reset and loosing all of my apps and stuff. After a while, i couldnt take it anymore. So with research i thought i just needed to update my firmware. So i did. And for about 2-3 weeks. Everything went fine. Then it started once agian. So i would boot into safe mode and delete the app i recently installed. One i started do that, I had no reboot issues. And i stopped downloading apps in general. And it worked... Until today. It rebooted and got stuck. I lost my cool and got furious. So i told myself, tommorow, im going to download a new rom. But i thought occured and i wondered what if it just does it on the other rom. So what i need to know, is, is it the rom or my phone and certain apps in general making it reboot? The rom im using is AOKP Jelly Bean Rom. 4.1.2 My firmware is T999UVDMD5. If there is any suggestions or help you can give me, please do so, idk how much more i can take. Thank you.

I have a TomTom Go 910 and an M3100 running WM6.

I have been using the hands-free BT connection with no problem.

However, I recently tried to set up a data connection to access TomTom Plus services through the phone over BT, and the setup routine fails every time. (I have no problem connecting to the internet over WAP from the phone in general).

Of course, TomTom support refuse to help, telling me that the phone is not supported for the 910. According to them I should not even be able to use the hands-free feature...

Before I go spending hours trying different ROMs and BT stacks etc., does anyone out there have the same setup (even with a 710 or 510) and got it to work? (No point wasting time if they are simply not compatible and no one has actually got it to work).

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] trapper:
Let us know how it goes. But isn't WM6 lacking either PAN or DUN that's required to establish the connection?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] cuccureddu:
No luck using ICS

Well, I tried it... no luck. TomTom still insists on going through a DUN setup routine (entering access point, GPRS dial-up number, etc.) and promptly fails both with automatic and manual setup. It does not detect the PAN already running with ICS connected.

I wonder if DUN can be ported back to WM6 with CABs from WM5?

Any other ideas?

Hi all,

android development still quite young industry and most of us re-invent the wheels. Like a lot of media players with the almost same internals and just different UI.

So, do you think it is possible to make an android service apk which will provide stream decoding using underlying ffmpeg codecs, for example?

Then any media player can bind to such service and use public api for stream decoding.

I don't mind if the ROM is rooted or not.

Could anyone point me in the direction, or give me steps to achieve this?

I am pretty good with flashing ROM's etc, came from the Nexus line to this, so know my way about - just never changed partition tables etc.

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

Just pick a GPE based ROM in the Development section, and flash it.

Its that simple, since you specifically don't want to "fully convert" and change the partition scheme.

But if you want to "fully convert" and get official OTA updates, its more involved. You would need to change CID and MID, then RUU to GPE.

- as a ROM a put cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-otter.zip and these gapps gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip (~157 MB)

- I successfully booted and everythinng seems ok, until I found there are some gapps applications like google+ and email, but no google store and google play services.

- I found on another thread it should be because gapps package is too large for this device and there is another gapps package called small. (~87 MB) I donwloaded it do the device

- I went to TWRP recovery and done factory reset. and then again try to install same package of cm11. Installation seemed to start ok, but it took to long and never finished. Concole is now stuck on a line you see on a screen, progress bar animation is moving and a battery status is changing. I keep it running all night but nothing happened.

My question is: How to safely cancel installation process?

There is no stop button and I don`t know how to cancel installation. Could you please help me how to stop it and how to correctly prepare device for another flash process?
