[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R3d3ad3:
maybe...

I had some success with using the "share" option then "ES download to..." (a function of the ES file manager) to download apps in the Galaxy apps store, BUT still no definitive solution for adding the samsung account back. I've tried adding through settings and the store and neither work. .. one loops back to rhe previous screen and the other flashes and nothing happens.

I've spent hours talking to verizon and samsung support and the only fix was a replacement. What pisses me off is over the course of the verizon edge payment plan, I'll pay retail and feel like they should replace it with a new phone not a refurbished one then sell mine as a certified pre-owned for additional profit.

All in all it seems like it's a software issue that can't be resolved by a factory reset.... I may be wrong, but I can't find any help or resources to advise me otherwise.

Out of curiousity, does your "find my mobile" option work in settings under lock and security? Mine loops back like the add my samsung account issue.....

Any insight for a noob who's out of options!

I am having the same problem. I just got my Galaxy s6 today. When I tried to download an app from the Galaxy app it would not load. I went to accounts in settings and tried to add Samsung. It is listed but when I select it nothing happens. My son has the same phone that he got a few weeks ago and has no problem. Anyone have a solution for this. I'm stumped:confused:
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WWYMD3:
factory reset.

I resisted and called every support line available. ... wasted a week and spent hours on the phone. ... the only way to fix this issue to my knowledge (along with Samsung galaxy app support, Samsung hardware support, Samsung software support, and verizon tech support) is to factory rest the device.

So little is known about this problem verizon was ready and willing to exchange my S6 for a another... it would of been refurbished so I opted to reset and by golly it worked ....

Just let it go and embrace a fresh start :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buster05:
After trying everything I could think of and all of the suggestions from Samsung tech I decided that since I just got this phone I would just bite the bullet and do a factory reset. It worked. Samsung is now added as an account. Galaxy Apps now works and everything seems fine. Unfortunately I think this is really the only solution that will fix this issue.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] florin999:
Resolved for my similar problem with adding Samsung account.

- setting > backup and restore > factory reset > reset device > add Samsung account > push back after added without confirmation to reset. Account added!

And the story:

Well.. I have the same problem on my Samsung S6 Edge. I made a reset factory from the boot menu and after that, I couldn`t add a Samsung account.

I reset a few more times but without any success.

I searched few hours to find any other way.

I cleared cache on the app from Samsung Account and noticed that this app has 0B installed, so don`t have the application installed.

tried to add on another new device a Samsung account and noticed that he will download the app, which from my device don`t happen anything.

I found a video which didn`t try to fix the same issue, but he tried to jump over some protection on factory reset. He installed an app to go to setting and BLA BLA BLA...

I didn`t install anything but I tried to go to settings > backup and restore > factory reset > reset the device and here it asked me to enter a Samsung account and password... this is what I looked for because, after this the account has been added. after added the account I aborted the factory reset and checked the account.

problem solved. :D

Please help me, I coulnd't find a real solution anywhere for this, since I get stuck in recovery when I vol up+power, or I'll get stuck at boot logo if I hold power. I can only turn off because I pull out the battery on this Lenovo A800. I think it happened when I wiped data,cache, and dalvik after flashing another new rom. How could I revive this? thanks please!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitman-xda:
I think you just wiped everything with system OR you just cross flashed different ROM into your system. That means you are bricked!

As you already bricked your phone, you should try flashing custom ROM.

Try below steps;

DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK

A] Install drivers USB VCOM Lenovo A800. (Link below)

http://d-h.st/3ib

B] Download ROM (Link below)

http:// mobilecon. info/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=Download+Lenovo+A800+Stock+ROM+%28official+version%29+

(Delete spaces)

Extract LenovoA800_S133_121213I.rar2.Inside extract folder you`ll see 4 rar file

1.A800_Customized_SP_Flashtool_20121022(v3.1238.5).rar

(this is a flashtool for flashing ROM)

2.apdb.rar

3.modemdb.rar

4.target_bin.rar

Extract A800_Customized_SP_Flashtool_20121022(v3.1238.5).rar

Extract target_bin.rar

Go to A800_Customized_SP_Flashtool_20121022(v3.1238.5) extract folder

Run Flash_tool.exe

Click Scatter loading, then go to target_bin extract folder

selectMT6577_Android_scatter_emmcPCext, turn off the device

Remove the battery, sdcard and sim card

Put back the battery

Click Firmware Upgrade in Flash Tool

Connect A800 to PC/laptop

Wait until all installation process done, if it success then Green logo will appear

Remove your device from PC/laptop

Turn it off

Put back SD card and sim card.

Then turn on, at first loading after flashing ROM A800 will took more time just wait.

Done!

DUDE YOU ARE GOOD!!!! I would make accounts to fill your thanks meter lol! btw, can I retry to flash roms again? Thank you very much, you saved me!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitman-xda:
You can flash ROMs through flashtool as many times as you can. Just make sure you flash correct ROM.

It formats everything that is already into your system and clean install ROM.

Hope you succeed well ;)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dairymasta:
Hi everyone. The screen on my nexus 4 has smashed and unfortunately I can't access anything on the phone. It would appear that since flashing 5.0 OTA as well my bootloader has relocked and the phone is not rooted. Additionally, there is no recovery installed and I won't be able to adb. There is a password on the phone so I'm unable to connect to my computer to access the files...

I really wanted to retrieve all my photos off it and don't really trust sending it to a third party. Is there any way I can access the mass storage, take my photos off the phone/delete them? It's a backup phone so I flashed 5.0 OTA without really thinking about it, didn't realise at the time that it would relock my bootloader and delete my recovery! Very frustrating.

Additionally, I had planned to use OTG to just use a mouse on it and unlock it via password and grab the stuff I wanted, however they took away the OTG mouse feature, very annoying! If anyone could help get that running too despite being completely locked down that would be helpful.

Thanks everyone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blacksmith5:
Your best solution

There is a simple solution

You need to replace your screen.. If you buy a "LCD/Digitizer with Frame" on ebay you can replace your screen. This will bring your Nexus 4 back to life. It is easy to do. Just make sure you get a "LCD/Digitizer with frame" It will cost you a few dollars more but will make the job very easy.

check this youtube video it will show you how in detail

I don't want to install a new app. If needed I will flash my custom updater-script for each dirty flash.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wakamatsu:
Does this script work with your rom? Could be a situation where none of your scripts are running.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrasLOHF:
If you want a quick way to do this you could download my zip from the ViperOP and just edit out the apps you want removed/restored from the updater-script and addon.sh.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
idk. I'll try the 'Bloatware Removal Script' for the next dirty flash.

If your script saves V4A and allows apps to survice a dirty flash then I'll take a look after testing the above script.

Actually your script seems to have the same structure as mine.

Finally I reduced the number of lines by removing apps and using rm -rf command and I manually typed the lines for V4A + gps.conf and the removed folders.

Maybe this problem was caused by some extra spaces...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pappt:
Hi!

As the title says, where can i find the latest official/stock (or close to stock) Samsung ROM in a recovery zip format?

I have a carrier independent I9300 (it's a second hand phone, don't know if it was or wasn't sim locked originally), with latest CM11 nightly at the moment with TWRP recovery, but i want to test the speed and functionality of the stock ROM.

I'm not too familiar with ODIN or KIES, that's why i need in "zip via recovery" format.

If flash via recovery, do i have to mind about the EFS partition?

Sorry for the noob questions, but i new in the S3 scene

i9305 says internal storage full when i just flashed a new rom

Hi guys, I'm genuinely lost on how to fix this issue.

Essentially, my i9305, rooted- running pacman rom (stable) android 4.4.4, says that it's internal storage is full. however, I've just flashed the rom onto it. I have cleared the cache, dalvik cache and wiped the phone (through rom manager, cwm) and re-flashed the rom and it persists to say this. When i went though each folder and added the bytes up, i should've had around 9gb available, yet is says i only have 656mb.

I believe the issue lies in the "/data" partition, is it possible to wipe it?

Please help!!!

does any one know is there is a PST reader for WM6?

Outlook can export contacts as a pst file, i was wondering if there was an app about that would be able to read a pst and copy the contacts into the contact list?

thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Lordsmiff:
I've never seen anything that can do that but, and I hate to sound stupid here, why would you need it to do this?

Activesync can do that for you...?

Is there some particular ultimate goal you want to achieve by doing this?

Cheers,

Smiffy?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
yes, when my HTC TyTn trys to resync with outlook 2007 on Vista after A ROM flash it fails even though it worked before flashing, so i have to delete all contacts from my vista system, resync my phone with my XP system to get the contacts, then sync up again with my vista system.

I have not found anyone else with this problem, and i thought that there might be a little app somewhere so i could just store my contacts on my memory card as a PST and reload all contacts from my phone before the first sync.

I dont know y my system is being stupid but this is one or 2 annoying problems i have with vista!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Lordsmiff:
The easiest way to get your contacts back after a flash is using PIMBackup - it's free and can be found here

This will allow you to make a backup of your contacts onto your SD card (and restore them after a flash)

It should be a part of every flasher's toolkit :) It can lead to duplicate entries in your outlook though so you might need to delete them from your machine first anyway (but at least you can get them back on your hermes easy enough now)

As to the vista thing - are you deleting the sync profile out of vista after you've reflashed? I'm not even sure you can (only played a little bit with vista) but in activesync, I always delete my sync profile (but not syncd files folder), put the right name back into my hermes and re-setup the partnership and sync everything again.

Either way, I think PIMBackup should do what you're looking for :)

Cheers,

Smiffy.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
Using PIM Manager to back up all of my contacts instead of having some sort of PST reader, i didnt realise such a tool was available.

I am having afew strange problems with my Vista system and my TyTN, the one you helped with, and another strange thing (just on the off chance you have experienced this and can help) once i have sorted the sync between the phone and computer, when the phone is connected via usb it "messes" around with my windows (the open ones on the desktop), for example, when typing something, the cursor will disappear as if i have clicked of part of the screen OUTSIDE the window i am using, then a second or 2 later reappears and i can type again.

as soon as i disconnect the phone it goes away!! im sure there is somethign trying to play with my emotions in my system, its really annoying as when my phone is attached to my system i pretty much cant do anything with my computer because of this focusing out effect.

it sucks!! (the other annoyign thing i have found with alot of people on here is the fact that if you ask a question, everyone just *****es at you for asking or you get "n00bs suck,y are they allowd here!!" so i havent asked also how do you describe my problem lol!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] agovinoveritas:
So it was a Vista issue then?

Since I am on XP and although my backup needs are pretty simple, ActiveSync not only backs up my calendar and my contacts but it also included the pics that I have associated to them.

Sure I do not need my old call logs, but for basic stuff active sync suffices.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
after abit of investigation, it seems that (on my vista system anyway) WMDC 6.1 was inable to sync with Outlook 2003, i have updated to Outlook 2007 and it seems to sync ok now, but i still have the other problem i mentioned before, i have checked everything i can think to check and i cannot work out what it causing it!!

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalfan78:
So, from what I have read here, and I skimmed most of it, is a bootloader issue. You not only need version specific kernel but bootloader as well. You're issue might be that you have a kit-kat bootloader trying to flash lollipop or vice versa. Your best bet is to Odin the Official stock tar of which ever version of custom rom you want to flash, i.e 4.4.2, 4.4.4, 5.0. Then you can reroot and flash the coinciding custom rom. Does that make sense?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] missionary7:
Yeah, that makes sense. Where do I find the Official stock tar? Also, if I flash back to 4.4.2, then reroot and flash Alliance for 4.4.2, can I upgrade from there to 4.4.4 without having to flash again? Or do I have to flash stock 4.4.4 followed by flashing Alliance for 4.4.4?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalfan78:
4.4.2 and 4.4.4 are both kit-kat, so you can flash either one. Look in Sprint Galaxy s5 Android development for the tar files

Hi everyone,

I'm new so please be gentle with me -

Have just rooted my Galaxy GT-S5830

Running Gingerbread 2.3.4,

Baseband S5830BVKQB,

Kernel version 2.6.35.7-perf-CL562323root@DELL122#1,

Build number GINGERBREAD.BVKQ9

using the file for the GT-S5830 from here: ( http://dengadgets.blogspot.co.uk/201...smarphone.html - root_S5830.zip) successfully, copying it to the root folder of the SD card and flashing it from recovery.

I Then tried to flash CWM 4.0.0.9 using the same method (which I got from http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1168417 )

Now when I try and reboot in recovery it crashes at the Galaxy Ace screen, otherwise boots fine, and download mode still accessible - not sure why and am unsure about what to do about it. From reading a fair few Q+A posts I think I might need to flash the phone with stock rom using odin, but:

If I do will that wipe my data? (I have data on the phone that I really don't want to lose, particularly on memo - also can't backup on kies as support say the phone is too old and doesn't have that function available - backing it up is one of the main reasons why i'm going through this in the first place...)

Is there another way if it would wipe the data?

How do I avoid getting back in the same mess when flashing CWM?

If I do flash a stock rom / firmware with odin, does it have to be the one that was on there originally [France (Orange)] or can I use the latest UK one (with Gingerbread 2.3.5)?

I really apologise if this has been answered many times - i can't find it but would be grateful to anyone that can help / point me in the right direction
