[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android Nooblet:
Hi,

This is something new, a stock S3 running Jelly Bean soft bricked itself. I've downloaded a XSA 4.3 firmware for the i9300 but nothing will flash. It was a repartition problem so I tried a few different *.pits. The closest I've got to fixing it is when I get stuck on "Get PIT for mapping" in Odin 3.07. I believe this is because I tried to repartition on my first attempt. Anyway, I can't find any other options. Can anyone share how they fixed or how to fix a brick like this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android Nooblet:
bleh, doesn't matter. I gave up.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Try the rescue firmware from general thread, if that doesn't work then downgrade the bootloader to BLFB and try again.

If all that fails then your emmc chip is toast, time for a new phone.

I have this strange problem I can't figure out

I can take a photo and save it to the internal memory, but not the Storage Card. The camera recognizes teh storage card when I insert it, asks me if I want to make it the default storage location, but when I take pictures, nothing gets saved.

I can put files on the storage card just fine.

any thoughts?

TIA
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Does it repeatedly ask if you want to save to storage card?

When you check has it resorted to Main?

Do you have the Network folder enabled?

If so then check through this:

Hermes Camera

Camera Save/Storage Problems

Specifying your own location in registry=

HKLM - Software - HTC - Camera - Image - SaveFolder - xyz

where xyz is your folder name, but note this folder will be added as a subfolder of the following (in this case storage card) auto added path:

/Storage Card/My Documents

Note that setting a location or name other than the defaults will result in problems viewing pictures via the application, though they can be view by locating and opening files individually.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\Image]

value of "Saveto" = 0 will save images to main memory

value of "Saveto" = 1 will save images to storage card

Usually the camera only asks about storage card when you have just inserted a new card OR you have the "network" folder enabled.

Now unfortunately the camera is only capable of saving to one of two locations at any one time so:

If the view network folder is NOT enabled you will be offered:

"Main" or Storage card" and once set it will remember your choice and not ask again.

BUT with Network folder enabled and a storage card inserted you will:

be asked if you want to use "StorageCard" every time you start Camera, but in camera tools you will only be offered "Main" or "Network" even if you chose the card. It will not set to storage card even if you said you wanted this when camera started.

So, if you want to use main memory with a storage card inserted and don't want the silly question about using storage card each time, then you must disable the network folder. (Use Resco or File Commander to do this - forget now if regukar File Explorer does it)

Equally if you want to save to storage card you will also need "network" folder disabled otherwise it will save to Main memory even when you say yes to Storage Card on start up of application.

The default setting for the Network folder is disabled, so if you are having problems it is likely to have been enabled by using the likes of Resco or Total Commander.

"\Storage Card\My Documents" corrupted?!??

So I tried to make the changes above, and I discovered that my "\Storage Card\My Documents" folder must somehow be corrupt. I can't even create a "My Pictures" sub-folder to do the Regedit fixes above. BTW, I WAS able to create a new folder in "\Storage Card"

Any idea why this is happening?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
How about using active sync explore function on PC. Delete the folders and recreate \Storage Card\My Documents\My pictures

Im having a odd problem...

I upgraded to OTA Lollipop and now Im trying to flash recovery again (was sadly wiped when I updated OTA)

Standard:

C:\Program Files>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

target reported max download size of 1073741824 bytes

sending 'recovery' (10180 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.431s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 0.141s]

finished. total time: 0.580s

Looks OK.

I reboot into Android, use the reboot menu to go to Recovery and....Cyanogen's standard stock recovery comes up.

Settings.........Developer options...........Update Cyanogen recovery is disabled (the circle is on the left which I imagine is disabled).

Am I missing something?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DroidFC:
Hello everyone,

I have an Xperia Ray (ST18i) that was initially on its latest stock ROM (ICS I think...).

When I saw this thread, I was tempted by testing the ROM and I did...

So I unlocked the bootloader via the fastboot technique (officiel technique via sony website) and after the first flash, it got stuck on boot logo (Cyanide L animation) so I reflashed and then, problems began...

Here are the things I've tried to fix the phone (wiping everything, everytime...):

- Made a 2Gb Ext4 partition on the external SD-Card

- Reflash stock firmwares (I tried them all) --> stuck on Sony/SonyEricsson logo on boot

- Reflash cm9, cm10, experimental cm12 --> When done right after flashing a stock firmware, the phone boots but the touchscreen won't work (physical buttons do work) and apparently the phone don't recognize the sim card (no gsm signal)

- Reflash the Cyanide L rom (afte reflashing stock) --> phone boots but the screen becomes crazy (spinning, reverting) and touchscreen don't work.

So at this point, I can't have a working phone. I read in this forum a solution for a similar problem but for the Xperia Mini (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2220290)

I tried to connect via recovery to adb and I managed to get su privileges, but the rmi4_fwloader don't exist apparently for the ST18i (Ray) I found instead a /system/bin/bq275xx_fwloader (duh), I truly don't have a freaking idea about what it does but I tried the same command line but replacing the "rmi4" by "bq275xx" and the touch_module_id_0x32.img by touch_module_id_0x11.img (there are 0x01 and 0x02 also in st18i roms) --> nothing changed, I have the same "boot-freeze-for-stock-roms/touchscreen-ko-for-custom-roms" problem.

I tried to flash an Aroma-based custom ROM again with no success, I even tried to flash an Xperia Active ROM (solved the problem for Xperia Mini Pro) apparently.

A weird thing though, in Aroma installer, the phone is detected as Xperia Neo/Neo V MT11/MT15 !! And when installing the cm9 ROM, I got an assertion failure saying that the phone is not a st18i/urushi ! Is it possible that somehow, the device name has changed when flashing a bad ROM (the experimental Cyanide L) ???

I really really need your help guys

Thank you in advance !

I've been running Jb Roms for a while and tried both KK and LP Roms but the advantages of UI were always wiped out by lag so was beginning to think our dear phone had reached it's best with JB roms but you have given me new hope! Both this Rom and the Candy one work more quickly than the other LP roms I've tried. Still settling in but first impressions are really good so thanks.

Port recovery to any Device, snapdragon, mediatech doesn't matter​

Hi guys...

Once again i am back with an Extreme guide...

Its about porting Recovery if you don't have source or if you like to use your own thing...

Ok lets start......​

Requirements:

1. Android Kitchen or Android image kitchen (Search on xda or

google)

2.NOTEPAD++ (Search on google)

3. Flash tool (flashify, rashr etc)

4. Cygwin ( if you are using Windows)

5. Recoveries that you want to port, must be from same structured chip set device, and same resulotion

Tips: Search on Google on how to set up android kitchen with cygwin

N.B.--> This method will not work in TWRP porting beacuse porting TWRP is different...

Sometimes your new recovery may not work...if it does not work then try again with new recoveries from different device or redo the whole thing

I hope this post was helpfull and if you

successed to port your new recovery then dont

forget to give me some credits :p

if you like this post then click on :good: button... It may increase the rate of

giving new guides...​

:highfive:

Hi, I am trying to do a CWM recovery for Amazon fire phone which is a Snapdragon 800 - unfortunately i cannot find any custom recoveries which have the amazon fire phones resolution of 1280 x 720 can you advise if there is a workaround for this situation?
[Android Software Development] utsha.saha.58:
Hey there, if you are porting cwm, the resolution isn't gonna be a problem. Find same structured device and you would be good to go.

Edit: the fonts will maybe look smaller.
[Android Software Development] utsha.saha.58:
But if you are porting CTR recovery the resolution would be a problem, it will cause you touch problem in recovery
[Android Software Development] TheDynamo:
Thanks. One problem right at the first hurdle is in step 2

i do not have these files in my boot ramdisk folder

1.meta_init.modem.rc

2.meta_init.project.rc

3.meta_init.rc

Attached is a screenshot of what i have in mine?!?

[Android Software Development] TheDynamo:
Sure, attached. This is my recovery from my Amazon phone and also the recovery for a nexus 5 which uses the same processor

[Android Software Development] utsha.saha.58:
BTW is there any other version of cwm available for your device? You can take a look inside that recovery for more info. And if your device has source, I recommend that building it from source would be best for you
[Android Software Development] TheDynamo:
Hi, I actually just built from source but nothing happens when phone should go into recovery. Just stays on the Amazon screen. I then flash the stock recovery back and it works fine. I'm pretty sure that i compiled it correctly as i got no errors used CM11 as source. (Attached if it helps)

To be honest it was a shot in the dark anyway as the phones bootloader is locked and i was trying with flashify.apk
[Android Software Development] utsha.saha.58:
Have you tried grabbing a logcat after rebooting from recovery?
[Android Software Development] TheDynamo:
Thats my next step :)

I have got an android device with Broadcom Processor with android 4.4.2. I had tried to learn using Ubuntu and tried to build recovery from source. But, it seems a clumsy path and hard to understand. I could not finish syncing repo and retired from my trial a month ago. Can I use this tutorial to port recovery to my device? How can I know which CWM for an android can be ported to mine?
[Android Software Development] yamraj:
bro this is not working for snapdragon devices. as i am not getting meta files into its recovery not even in the ported one.
[Android Software Development] XiaoAk:
I can't understand the which recovery is which, like in Step 3 you said Stock recovery and unpacked recovery (Which you want to port) where i guess stock is the original recovery and unpacked is CWM/CTR.

But on Step 4 you said:

"go to your stock unpacked CWM or CTR and go to

ramdisk/etc and copy ( recovery.fstab ) and paste

it to you unpacked recovery (which you want to

port) /ramdisk/etc and replace."

so stock unpacked CWM is CWM but which one is he unpacked recovery now? :confused:

I downloaded port ctr for mtk device with my phone resolution from other thread here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2471479 I used Your porting guide because cygwin was downloading so slow and I don't use linux so much. Well porting went good, my phone can boot into recovery, but now there's some bugs. I can flash zip packages, but I can't reboot my phone from recovery (I have to take battery off). I haven't checked other options because I don't need them for now, but I want to try to get rid of the bugs because there's no ported recoveries for this phone. All I want to ask is what You mean by "recovery which You want to port"? You say to get files from stock recovery, recovery which I want to port and ctr or cwm, but I have only stock recovery and ctr recovery which is used for porting. Could these bugs be result of porting ctr from other thread with Your guide, not one included in that thread? Or is it possible that it's ctr bug from other thread. Anyway thanks for this guide it helped me, hope You can reply to me. Nice work man. :good:
