[XDA Assist] DanielKennethRego:
TL;DR version: Three chargers I own cause the exposed metal part of my phone's body to light up a contact tester. One of the chargers causes a tangible shock. I'm not sure what is wrong.

I bought a new phone today, the Asus Zenfone 2. Until this evening, I had a plastic-bodied Sony Xperia SL, and as a charger, I've been using a Nextech charger happily over the past year or so, which has two outputs - 1A and 2.1A.

When charging my new Asus Zenfone 2 with the Nextech adapter, I felt a small but definite shock when I touched the small metal rim around the phone's volume buttons. A contact tester also lit up when touching that rim. When charging the same phone, but instead with the supplied Asus charger (2A output), the tester still lights up, but somewhat less brightly, and upon daring myself to touch again, I didn't feel a definite shock.

I then tested the same adaptors on my old Sony phone (which doesn't have exposed metal parts, but I connected my VSonic earphone's metal Neutrik plug into the headphone jack and tested the plug), the same results occur, both chargers cause the tester to light up, but the Nextech one noticeably brighter. Finally, I tried an old HCL adapter (0.5A) with both phones, which caused the tester to light up, too. I stopped touching any metal connected to the phones at this point, because I'm terrified of electrical shocks.

Now both phones do not cause the tester to light up while charging via my mother's Samsung adaptor (0.7A) or my old Sony adapter (0.85A).

My knowledge of electrical issues is very poor, and something is clearly wrong with either three of these chargers, or the electrical connections in my house, or the phones.

Can the knowledgeable people here please help me diagnose what's going wrong, and what I should do? My mostly electrically-ignorant mind first thought my new Asus phone is leaking electricity through the exposed metal part, but on realising that my earphone plug also lit the tester up when connected to my previous phone, I stopped panicking as much.

What is wrong here, and what should I do? Is my new phone 100% all right?

Is the phone supposed to allow current to leak to the metal part of the body, or is that some defect? And does this entire situation just mean the Nextech charger is at fault?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casperlutt:
hello,

I have a Samsung galaxy s3 i9300. I had flashed a new kernel using Odin v 3.07. But after flashing the kernel this happens:

1. Device boot up (samsung i9300 logo)

2. Device is on, but only black screen. (can't see anything)

After this i boot into the recovery mode and reset to factory settings, but didn't work.

Can somebody help me, because this Phone is really important.

Kind regards,

Casper
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
You didn't wrote anything about system you are using, nor flashed kernel.

You need compatible kernel with your rom. Download tar to flash by Odin or zip if you like custom recovery flashing.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casperlutt:
yes, sorry about that

I have flashed ''SiyahKernel s3-v1.8.9'' to my device using odin v 3.07. And i have the official version of android 4.3 on my device.

My intention was to flash a custom kernel to overclock my s3 (yeah i know it's dangrous)

But it seems there is no operating system on my device, but there is certainly one.

Maybe with this information you can help me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
There is still stock system for sure but something is wrong with kernel you flashed.

I didn't use Siyah from quite long time. You don't need custom kernel to oc, root is enough.

Now you can try a different version of Siyah (check md5 signature before flashing) or flash whole stock firmware and custom recovery. Than flash SuperSU. Zip and you are rooted. You will find few apps in play store which will allow oc.

You can also try Agni kernel instead of Siyah:

Thank you for helping me.

I flashed now the ''Boeffla kernel 5.8'' and its working now. :laugh:

I have only camera problems (selfie camera working, back camera not working)

You have any suggestions for this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
What do you mean, camera app crashes or you see purple glitches? In first case try any another camera app from Playstore, second scenario means hardware fault and camera module need to be replaced.

Sometimes you need also flash proper Blobs with kernel. It is some kind of driver bridge between rom apps and custom kernel. But in case of stock rom this shouldn't be needed to proper function of hardware and software.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casperlutt:
When i open camera, i get a message thet say ''camerafault''. Than i tab on OK and the app close himself.

I have tried another camera apps from the playstore, but again the same message.

I think my camera is not compitable with my new kernel (boeffla 5.8). But I don't know. My frontcamera Works.

I'm for sure my backside camera is not broken.

Maybe there is a fix for it, but I have searched on google and I didn't found anything.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
I don't think it is Boeffla kernel fault. Probably first attempt of flashing Siyah screwed something.

Before any next step backup your rom and efs folder.

Search for your original rom kernel and flash it via Odin, check your camera. Then install Boeffla kernel. If it doesn't work it may be due some leftover scripts from Siyah. Search for kernel cleaning script, execute it (custom recovery needed) and then flash Boeffla.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
Then download full stock unbranded firmware from sammobile and flash it through the Odin. Configure it and check if camera works.

If not it could be hardware.

If it is operational download latest TWRP and flash. Download SuperSU and flash via TWRP. Your phone is rooted now. You can flash any custom kernel or leave it stock, but I strongly recommended you to start interesting about cm11 or CM12.1. It's faster than stock and you don't need to worry about caperase and frying your eMMc chip on stock kernel.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
Yes, it is. It's named boot.bin inside the firmware package, but you can't flash it alone unless you prepare correct tar file. You can find tutorial how to do this but better flash whole newest rom. Backup your data before flashing.

Simple One-Click Installation

I've fixed the installation script by setting the required symlinks (this makes it a very simple one-click installation for future versions), but I'll keep it a bit complicated for everyone to go through the Q&A thread (posts #1-6) to learn more before being able to use it.

On a side Note, I'd recommend to backup your data via TitaniumBackup & only wipe system data before rebooting to a completely different ROM.

Good luck!

Any chance you can get this working for the S6 so we can install a custom ROM? We now have root.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
You can use FlashFire? I could work on it by storing virtual ROMs on the internal storage, but this has drawbacks; for instance:

Factory Reset = complete loss

Loop devices on vFAT are less powerful compared to EXT4

...

This can be resolved if we could make a separate partition for MultiSystem, but I'm not sure if it'd work & I don't own that device.

If FlashFire works, it'll be a better solution for flashing regardless the MultiROM option. That's why I hate Samsung decision of removing microSD slot & I hope they won't ruin the Note line.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GuestK00143:
Thanks, I totally forgot about FlashFire. I'll have to give that a try tomorrow. Either way I'm happy to finally be able to delete the bloat.

I disabled it to focus on my research; too many PMs at a very busy time.

You're welcome! Greatly appreciated.

No significant progress for the Note 4 retail edition. We can switch to permissive SELinux for root shell though. The system is write protected with locked bootloader; so, you won't be able to flash custom kernels, but we may find a solution/workaround to bypass write protection (one direction is to disable module verification & create a kernel module for that purpose). TBH, I stopped working on this for some time (very busy at my work), but the team is still making slow progress in the right direction. No promises and no ETA right now!

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkleafar:
I have the wifi only US version of the tab s 8.4 inch, and I cannot move apps to SD card for some reason. I'm not rooted anything, and running Android 4.4. I tried doing it through the built in application manager, but I just get a "unable to move app to SD card" message. I also tried using an app called app2sd, and it didn't work either. App2sd worked just fine on my note edge running lollipop though. Could it be that I need lollipop on my tablet for it to work? I just bought a 64 gb micro SD card for my tablet because I was running out of space, but as you can see I have be3n unable to use it. Any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
I know third party apps cannot write to the external microsd in 4.4 , in 5.0 it is fixed, but you would think the built in system apps would let you do it.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkleafar:
Thing is, all app2sd card does is automate the process. It's like a batch file that automatically opens the information page on each app (using built in application manager) where you can click "move to SD card" . So it's really no different than doing it manually with no third party app, so I don't think what you mentioned is the problem
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkleafar:
This does not even let me try to use it . It just says "no need to move, SD card shares the same disk with OS". I also reformatted the SD card, still no luck. I can't be the only one with this issue. Anyone ?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
Remove you microsd and do a factory data reset, make sure you backup the data you need to keep first, very strange that your tab thinks your ,microsd is just a directory on your system flash memory, might be worth formatting your microsd in your notebook if you have an adaptor, just in case you tab is putting system files on you microsd, then put it back in your reset tab and do a format on it, if the tab does not do it for you.

It would be nice if some other forum members could help you, maybe you need to get a mod to change your thread title, to something like "help: my android tablet thinks my microsd is system memory and will not let me move my apps to it"

Or something like that might get your thread more attention.

Or try posting on more than one android forum, I use the one below, but there are lots more.

Turned out to be defective micro SD card. Lesson learned : stick with San disk, death to Sony
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acdbrn2000:
It also very highly depends on your defin4of moving an app to your SDcard. Most apps of various sizes only move a very very very small portion of their data to the sdcard. Like a 1GB app moving 56MB or a 24MB app moving 16KB. Some apps are smart and can move their obb files but there are quite a lot of apps that are not programed well and move only a little bit of data or none at all.

But as for this specific tablet samsung was kind enough to include app2sd as part of its system files (along with all the bloatware), so you do not need on a stock rom (kitkat or lollipop) to install any other app moving program.

How to check if you are running a Stock/Virtual System?

There're many ways to check whether you're running a Stock or Virtual system. MultiSystem app should include this simple check at some point. That's important to avoint ruining the Stock system & keep it safe. To make it clear to NOOBZ & anyone who's requesting "another" proof even though I owe hime nothing. Very weird!

Anyway, BusyBox mountpoint applet can print the current block/device mounted to /system mountpoint by running the following command:

busybox mountpoint -n /system

The stock system is mounts the original system partition:

[B][COLOR="Red"]/dev/block/mmcblk0p23[/COLOR][/B]

while the virtual system mounts a loop device associated with a system IMG:

[B][COLOR="Blue"]/dev/block/loop0[/COLOR][/B]

Here're two videos for both stock & virtual systems...

UPDATE:

Now, you could run the following command to print the current system (stock or virtual) and the system device (physical partition or loop device):

You can use any tool/program for partitioning on Android, Linux, Mac, or Windows. For example, MiniTool Partition Wizard is a good partitioning tool for Windows. So, let's use it for this task. Simply, you need to follow this PDF tutorial (thanks to [MENTION=3271517]carl1961[/MENTION]). In sum:

Step 1: delete old partitions on SD card

How to check microSD card partitions for MultiSystem?

You need to correctly repartition microSD card into two partitions:

exFAT or FAT32 for the 1st partition (your new external storage)

EXT4 for the 2nd partition (your MultiSystem partition)

Use the directions in this post!

You should check your 2nd SD partition in EXT4 format mounted to /MultiSystem:

check that the /MultiSystem directory exists after a reboot

check that the 2nd SD partition (/dev/block/mmcblk1p2) is mounted to /MultiSystem by running the following command in Terminal Emulator or ADB shell:

mount | grep /MultiSystem

The output should be:

/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /MultiSystem ext4 rw,seclabel,relatime,data=ordered 0 0
