are there any changes in this one or is it the same as the first just it can be flashed? Hopefully you will fix the things that aren't working in v1 - NFC, MMS from stock app, smart assistant FC on WIFI/4G

Guys... I have a MIRROR POSTED HERE
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] comptonhubbard:
can you tell us if there are any changes in this new upload or if all that changed was it was rezipped?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gabesir:
so far so good... Some of the lock screen effects have a small delay but not bad.

Now to modify the keys.. I kind of like the menu key and now running apps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drewiskee:
So far i see status bar(date and time)/ data works right out the box no config needed. Give me a sec and i can report for mms stock app.

I got passed the Setup but everythings still in chinese. I'm about to try a reinstall once more and select chinese just to see what happens.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] travisw0204:
I selected English and it booted up in English. Maybe you thought you selected English but you could've selected Chinese by accident.

Anyway to change the Menu key from stop showing the recent apps? Also I was wondering if i can install MOAR on this rom? Or does that have to be built into the rom like sac did with S5 for the note 3.

How you get the signal bar ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Ali1353:
Make sure to make a complete backup in recovery before doing this.

There is an app in Play Store by Samsung “Refresh customization”. Somehow Sprint Zone becomes disabled that even Titanium backup cannot unfreeze it. First I installed Sprint Zone (download from here)

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B52KWXKJmTZLT3J5NGlvcG4wN0E/edit?pli=1

After you installed Sprint Zone do not run it , go ahead and install Refresh customization,

Select 1. Refresh Customization Opt1 , let it reboot, go ahead and

Select 2. Refresh Customization Opt2 , after reboot it goes to recovery , just reboot it, wait for the self service , PRL and Profile updates. Then your Sprint Zone app will show up and you can use it. (this does not change your root access but it will change the HotSpot back to Stock, if you changed your APNs then you need to modify them again and to add ,dun to both)

:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chico260:
I noticed on install instructions it does not mention to wipe internal this time around . Should we do that just for good measure?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drewiskee:
You can do alot for good measure. I didnt and everything is working fine. (a.k.a ive never wiped internal)

But to each his own. some people do it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drewiskee:

1. Original Note 3 Menu key

-Generic zip

2. MMS stock with emojis and mms working (orginal mms was working aswell just not emojis)

Are these all flasable in recovery. Thanks good work.

---------- Post added at 11:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 PM ----------

I was wondering i am currently on the first release with no issue. Has anyone noticed a improvement or is it woth it for me to switch. Its kinda like if it aint broke why fix.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drewiskee:
None of them are flashable. They just apk that i zip to share.

New rom worth it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Josephigloe:
Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] comptonhubbard:
I did this twice my phone did not reboot to recovery nor did it update prl or profile. how long should we wait after selecting option 2 before it reboots to recovery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] girron:
Tried restoring to the nandroid backup that was posted, but it constantly fails. The DarkLord S6 Beta 2 zip installs fine, but never boots up, then goes to recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] slow_one:
I just installed from the new link, everything installed OK. One thing I noticed is that the phone is running really high temperature is this normal? I followed the instructions on the OP also before flashing the phone was on OC5.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Wind_Driven:
Yup,same issue here as well.Wiped 3x,the whole package,installs fine,never boots, goes to recovery.

Going back to the MOAR S5 port from 10/26.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Josephigloe:
R u on nk4 or higher i think this was posted earlier.

---------- Post added at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 AM ----------

Yes my phone was hit after install it will cool down and should be fine.

---------- Post added at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------

Yeah me 3 it didnt work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Ali1353:
After the 1st option it reboots ( about 30 seconds) , once I went back and selected option 2 it rebooted the phone , went to recovery and I selected reboot ( in recovery) , then it did the updates. The whole thing took less than 3~4 mins.

Install Sprint Zone , go to Titanium back up and see if you have it , in my case it was disabled. Select Backup/Restore menu, select Sprint Zone , press Defrost ! . Then reboot into recovery , erase Dalvik and Cashe. Once the phone reboots run the Refresh Customization app. Select #1 , after the reboot select # 2 ( went to recovery & I did manual reboot, I am using Philz recovery), then auto updates . Hopefully this works.
[Sony Xperia L] ice856:
So i lost around 1GB of internal storage, i read a post that suggesti to clear dalvik cache, is there any risk of wiping dalvik cache?? Like bootloop?? And btw im using stock rom and rooted thanks
[Sony Xperia L] Iasashvili:
Edit

Did I say anything? :D
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
wrong....

you can loosr every cache related data from your apps..... eg:

if you are signed in XDA app and have set some params (like color= dark theme) then those stuff goes into dalvik cache...(art in cm12) those stuff will be loosed

depending on "how" your app does savegames you can also loose savegames (most games will save it in other folders so its not often)
[Sony Xperia L] ice856:
But from this thread http://xdaforums.com/xperia-l/general/solved-memory-problems-xperia-l-t2496895 it said that cleaning dalvik cache is the solution for internal memory leak.

Do you have any solution?? as you can see from my screenshot that a system files take around 1GB space and XL only have 4GB :(

Hi could you clever folks help a guy out, I'm trying to do what it says in the thread title but I do not have a PC, I use agk fire and es file explorer.

can anyone do a quick idiots guide on how I can do this.

Many thanks.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkenhimer:
Just go to you SPMC foldr and delete the thumbnail folder, and make sure you also delete the texture database file too. The thumbnail folder will auto recreate itself. If you do not delete the textures DB file iit will take a long time for Kodi to make new thumbnails.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astro77:
Thanks for the reply.

Yes I already know how to delete thumbs and textures 13.dB.

I'm trying to redirect thumbs to external flash drive. It can be done but I have no PC.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astro77:
Think this is for kodi

from ftv news

how can I do this manually using esfile explorer for spmc

Guide

Ensure that your USB drive is connected to your Fire TV, that Kodi is installed on your Fire TV, and that you’ve launched Kodi at least once before proceeding with this guide. It does not matter if Kodi is installed on the Fire TV’s internal storage or on external USB storage.

Force stop Kodi on your Fire TV by going to Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications, selecting Kodi, and selecting the Force stop option.

Connect to your Fire TV via ADB.

Open a Fire TV shell prompt by running the command:

adb shell

Create a directory called kodi on your USB drive where we will move Kodi’s thumbnail files by running the command:

mkdir /storage/extUsb/kodi

Copy Kodi’s thumbnail files to your USB drive by running the command:

cp -r /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/Thumbnails /storage/extUsb/kodi/

This may take a while depending on the size of your Kodi installation and the speed of your USB drive.

Create a blank Kodi configuration file by running the command:

touch /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml

Fill the configuration file by running the command:

echo \<advancedsettings\>\<pathsubstitution\>\<substitute\>\<from\>special://thumbnails/\</from\>\<to\>/storage/extUsb/kodi/Thumbnails/\</to\>\</substitute\>\</pathsubstitution\>\</advancedsettings\> > /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml

Launch Kodi and verify everything is working correctly.

Delete Kodi’s thumbnail files from your Fire TV’s internal storage by running the command:

rm -rf /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/Thumbnails

Can anyone please help :(
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
I have a Mac and a PC and I've never tried but unless someone corrects me....android terminal is very similar to Mac as it applies to Unix. So you can install android terminal on your device and run the same commands in the aftvnews guide. I'm not even 50% certain it works. Your android might need to be rooted but not certain there either.

Its just I noticed your notngetting many answers. At the very least I'm sure itnwont hurtnto try. And, I'm very curious to see if it would work.

As I understand it there are definite limits, thats why the guides usually say Mac, PC or linux. But we can connect with adb (actually that's much simpler to do with android) so its might be worth a shot.

You will need to Google if you don't know manually copy and paste paths but this isnpretty simple too. Hope it works. And if someone knows of a reason this won't work hopefully you'll let both of us know. :confused:
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astro77:
Thank you a lot :)

Downloaded the terminal on my android tablet but have no idea how to connect to fire TV over WiFi using the terminal app.

Was going to just create a "text" XML file containing the correct path then just put it in the right location on my fire TV with esfile explorer and maybe copy a few folders from spmc to flash drive........

I'm sure its simple when you know how lol.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
If that works for you that's even simpler. You can still use the terminal to adb push your XML. Place it in userdata. Then you'll probably need to delete textures13db from the database and restart kodi. Before the new updates this was how I stored thumbs and it worked as well as it does now. Once you verify advanced settings and it works you can delete the thumbnails from your internal sdcard.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astro77:
Good stuff :good:

just don't know what to name the XML and the contents path for spmc.

As you can tell I'm not very experienced at this stuff.

edit:

something like

<advancedsettings\>\<pathsubstitution\>\<substitu te\>\<from\>special://thumbnails/\</from\>\<to\>/storage/extUsb/kodi/Thumbnails/\</to\>\</substitute\>\</pathsubstitution\>\</advancedsettings\>
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astro77:
please someone help

if you have done this by whatever method could you please open up your advanced XML file and copy and paste it here please.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astro77:
Cracked it :)

made a text file using esfile explorer on my tablet named:

advancedsettings.xml

then put this in the file:

<advancedsettings>

<pathsubstitution>

<substitute>

<from>special://profile/Thumbnails/</from>

<to>/storage/extUsb/Thumbnails/</to>

</substitute>

</pathsubstitution>

connected my tablet to aftv using esfile explorer over WiFi and moved the file to spmc userdata

opened spmc and deleted textures and thumbs folder, close spmc, restarted and it worked.

thanks too all that replied :D
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adiskar:
Hi guys,

I have the S6 with 5.0.2 and CSC ITV (AP:G920FXXU1AOCV, CP:G920FXXU1AOCW, CSC:G920FXXU1AOCN). Since I leave in Greece, I tried to flash through odin the Stock firmware with CSC EUR but I had fails all 4 times. Tried with both odin 3.0.9 and 3.10. The problem seems to be the hidden file in the end, because everything goes fine until that moment. The result is soft brick. Any one has any idea what should I do?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HelloMiggy:
I've worked with this just yesterday. If you have another firmware downloaded and it worked.. Extract the file from the firmware, from which it worked. I did this with a France version, so an African firmware will work.

Use 7-zip or WinRAR to extract the hidden file and it might be necessary to convert it into a .md5 file. Since it is an .IMG file. Once its converted use Odin and install the hidden file and it'll boot back up.

Hopefully this was clear enough for you to understand.. Maybe my method was a little confusing. It works none the less.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adiskar:
Thank you for the reply. I've just flashed the original firmware with CSC ITV and everything worked fine. The thing is, is there a way to flash stock firmware with EUR CSC and bypass somehow the hidden file problem, of course without trip knox?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Rawny8525:
Ok... i flashed over to Custel's WM6... and everything is fine. but.. when I connect to my WIFI, it says im connected. BUT... when i try to connect to a website, a message pops up and says "The page cannot be displayed because the server could not be found or a DNS error occured" Does this mean that my wifi is dead like the problems ive seen on this board?? or is tehre a setting that i am missing?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] fun_key:
Check the IP state first; it may be just a matter of proxy, dns, ...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
or it could be your carrier settings... make sure that your phone isnt on a setting with a proxy server, you might need to change it to "My Isp" before connecting to WIFI
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Rawny8525:
sorry, im a total n00bie to all this... how do I check for all those?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pvs:
Custel has made this pretty easy. He has two cabs located in the windows directory, one that disables the proxy, and one that restores it. You need to run the one that disables it.

In case you cannot find these actual files, go back to Custel's thread, and check, I believe, the 2nd post. He offers a cab to install links for each of them in the programs directory.

Hope this helps. I run his ROM and have no problem at all with my wifi.

Good luck,

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ram9200:
All depends on if partitions are written into updater script. If partitions are written into the script and it installs partition in the wrong place could brick your phone. The kernel in s6 is written to sda5 and our phone partition is sda8, this is why our kernel must be flashed, however if you edit the updater script the kernel should be fine if it is s6.

[Sony Xperia M] bululu:
Hello everyone,

I think i bricked my Xperia M C1905, which i bought yesterday pre-used.

I wanted to get rid of all the old data (photos sms and so on) of the former owner and to install a Cyanogenmod ROM.

I read all the manuals i could find and thought i am prepared. So I tried my luck.

1) First i sucessfully unlocked the bootloader using the sony developer network

2) I installed cwm for the xperia m (flashed by using command line)

3) bootet into cwm and i tried to wipe the old data

-> Error: formatting /data (manual mounting /data doesnt work either)

4) successfully formated /system

5) copied CM-zip and gapps to a microsd card and inserted it into the device

6) tried to install - stucks at 0.00%

So i think i did 2 mistakes:

1) i forgot to root the device prior

2) i did not verify the current stock-firmware version as cwm does only work with certain versions.

Now i only can get into fastboot and cwm or PhilZ Touch 6.50.6 [Nicki] [CWM 6.0.5.0 Advanced Edition] respectively.

The rooting does not work from there.

So what can i do else to resurrect the mobile?

Hoping for help

hi I have bricket my Xperia M too and I am struggling to boot it properly

may i ask you wich version of CM you use for your device.

And where do you see "format /data and /data media"? on the CM recovery menu, on the phone?

Thanks a lot
[Sony Xperia M] bululu:
You ask for CM Version, but i assume you mean CWM (=Clockworkmod)

CM is usually used for Cyanogenmod (I used the one from the following link).

For CWM and CM I took the recovery.img from

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-m/development/unofficial-xperia-rom-nickixperia-m-m-t2885370

and flashed using flashtool it in fastboot-mode as "Select kernel to flash" in the Doomlord section (right side).

The format Options can be found by tapping on "Mounts and Storage" inside the CWM-Menu

Good luck!
[Sony Xperia M] palacios000:
Thank you my friend,

I managed to fix the phone, now thanks to your tip I used CWM, wipe everything and install CM12

It took few days but now the phone is open. Thanks again

Good that you could resurrect your phone. Congratz!

The Reason why i chose CM11 was that i wanted to exchange SD-Card and internal memory, because the internal is so very insufficient.

I read that this is not possible with CM12, so i went to CM11.

Inofficial with Original launcher because i do not want my girl to complain too much (Its her phone). lol

I get info that it would be possible to even install Ubuntu Touch on it... that sound really cool... but its true?

What do you think about it?
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
This just means that it will be easier to install/update a custom recovery and it will remain independent of any rom you flash. It doesn't make it any easier to flash custom roms as such and will almost certainly require a bootloader unlocked device.

Sent from my C6603
[Xperia Z General] Olivier:
I talked to jerpelea about that several weeks ago, he said that our device will not get the new bootloader, so don't get your hopes up. Besides, our recovery-in-boot arrangement doesn't make things (neither Ubuntu Touch, nor MultiROM, Firefox OS/B2G or whatever) impossible, we just need some dirty hacks. By the way, I have been thinking of cooking something similar for our Sony Xperia Z too... But I can't promise anything as of now, as I really don't have a lot of time these days.
