[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffieb:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G (SGH-T959V) with kernel 2.6.35.7-T959VUVKJ6-CL694130. I took this phone to a place to get it unlocked, but now it does not recognize any SIM card nor can I connect it to my pc or laptop via USB. I have been looking all over for ways to restore the firmware, but I can only find ways that require download mode and a fully functional USB connection. I downloaded and installed the Samsung USB drivers, but I can only get the message that the phone is malfunctioning and remains undetected to Odin and Heimdall.

I am not able to find a reference on how to flash my phone from the SD card and I am not sure which files I need to put onto the SD card to even attempt it. Could someone please help and include links to stock firmware files?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xc-racer99:
Well, it sounds as if you have two separate issues.

1) No SIM cards are recognized. Do you know if you have an IMEI number still? You can find it by either typing in *#06# in the dialer or by going to Settings, About Phone, and Status. If you have a string of numbers, then you're probably good. If its all 0's or *'s, then your efs partition is probably messed up. In which case things get complicated (especially if you don't have a backup of the efs partition) and just restoring the stock firmware probably won't help.

2) You cannot get your PC to recognize the phone. I assume this means that you cannot transfer any files to it either (ie Mass Storage Device does not work) as well as Odin/Heimdall not recognizing it. I'm assuming you can get into Download Mode?

The first things to try would be a different USB port and/or cable and/or PC. Is there anything showing up in Device Manager? Another thing to try would be to download a LiveCD of a Linux distribution such as Ubuntu or Linux Mint. If it gets recognized there (type in the command "lsusb" at a command line/terminal) then its a problem with the Windows drivers. Don't try this right away unless you have a good internet connection as its a fairly hefty download.

In order to get back to stock from the SD card and without download mode, you will need a custom recovery. While you gave your kernel version, a little more info would be helpful. Are you currently on the stock rom? If yes, do you have a custom recovery or custom kernel installed and are you rooted? If not, which ROM are you using?

Welcome to the forums!:)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffieb:
Thanks for the reply. I know this will probably scar me for life, but I just figured out I was putting the SIM card in wrong. Now the USB works great.

I am currently having a problem with my Uni, it doesn`t appear straight away (after flashing new ROM etc) but instead only appears after i load certain software.

Whats happening...

I am constantly having to re-align the screen, the digitiser can change from one moment to the next, something as simple as changing the orientation of the screen can throw it out of position, its driving me mad:mad:

The Programs....

Tomtom 6, Noviiremote deluxe and the new HTC audio manager, these seem to be the cause as far as i can tell.

Is this because they are a different/Greater resolution than the rest of the software (True VGA?), something the uni isn`t designed to accept. Is there a fix/patch that i am missing, or, lastly, is my Uni on tis way out :eek:

I am currently using Laurentius26 WM6 Bus Pro RV5 ROM.

Your thoughts would be more than welcome.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] mzalan:
NoviiRemote ot of the question, I have it, I use it, I have no problems with it(on WM5, though...).

Of the othe two, I can make no comments...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] duanes:
If you use programs on WM5 you can't compare it with WM6.

You can trie to install one program at the time to see wich program causes the problem.

It's also handy to report your problem to the builder of the rom you're using.

I know that Laurentius always replies on questions and problems with his ROM.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] AntiProxy:
sounds like a hardware problem

i had the exact same thing happen with my HP iPAQ a couple years back.. they replaced the screen under warranty.

try rubbing the screen down with your thumb as if you're trying to align it.. see if that makes any difference.

it did with the iPAQ, but then again the display composition may be different on those two..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] davieshyland:
seems to happen with all three, i`ve tried loading them independantly but i get the same result....

i also tried going back to WM5, the official O2 ROM, same problem...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] davieshyland:
With-out any of the above programs installed, the fault isn`t present so far (insert smillie of guy frantically crossing fingers) which leads me to believe that the fault isn`t hardware related.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] shlomki:
give it a couple of weeks without installing the software to be sure.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] davieshyland:
Not sure i can wait that long, one of the main selling points/reason for not upgrading the Uni is its versatility, its ability to constantly re-invent itself, i just can`t get bored with it.

There is always some-thing new to add/change (WM6)(thanks to this forum), it just never gets old.

I love this phone.....:D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] davieshyland:
Been running now for a couple of days with-out any Hi-res apps, and the digitizer problems have not happened again.?????

Any-one have any idea why Hi-res apps would be causing me problems.:confused:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] davieshyland:
I`ve been doing some research on the forum and i can honestly say I`m still confused. :confused:

The closest i`ve gotten to an explanation is the difference between VGA and qVGA....

i.e

The Output/Display part of the screen for the mentioned programs is VGA and the Input/Digitizer part is qVGA.

i`m guessing at this point, but according to other threads, if you try to run VGA apps without the correct dlls for the digitizer, you get pretty much the same problem i`ve been getting, you think you are pressing on one part of the screen but the uni thinks differently....:rolleyes: something to do with dpi. :(
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] maddog497:
After using the Idol 3 for a couple of weeks, I have the following observations.

Pros:

1) It is a very nice phone, especially considering the price.

2) Battery life is on par with most flagship phones if not better. I can get 5 hours SOT without turning anything off or down. (Considering most people on other phones are complaining about battery drain on Android 5.01/2 and everyone is hoping that 5.1 will fix this, our battery life may only get better)

3) The camera is quick taking shots and straight forward to use. (quality not so much)

4) The OS is simple with very little bloat ware.

5) Very good sound with the front facing speakers.

6) The phone is thin and light for a having a 2910 mAh battery in it.

7) The screen is very bright in direct sunlight. I use it outside a lot and enjoy using it without trying to find some shade.

Cons:

1) The camera is fast but only takes decent pictures. Although for this price one can't complain to much as it is on par of flagship phones a couple years old.

2) Double tap to wake seems to be a constant issue for many (myself included).

3) Only 1 update in the last 14 days. I was hoping for Alcatel to push out some updates quicker but only time will tell how well they do.

4) The phone isn't blazing fast but doesn't lag too much either so this is kind of neutral. Clearly the recent apps is choppy and slow but most performance is decent.

5) Very little in the way of accessories. I bought an ipad screen protector and cut it down to fit.(I can get 3 out of 1).

6) Development isn't there. Not sure if it will be as maybe the phone isn't popular enough or the root/boatloader issue my be part of that as well.

I had the Zenfone 2 and LG G3 and sold them both in favour of this phone. I have had almost every flag phone out there and thought I would play around with some lower priced devices and have been pleasantly surprised with this phone so far. 3 things for me to keep the phone as a daily driver for a little would be, the DTTW issue resolved, some development so I can have some fun flashing some roms, and update to Android M (or at least to 5.1 for some software improvements and extra battery life, but 5 hours of OST is good for me. I most likely will be keeping this phone as my backup once I do move on and will certainly keep an eye on Alcatel for future phones.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] bryanbreguet:
I agree 100% with what you said. Just waiting for an update to 5.1 (with some bug fixing) and I'd be very happy.

As for the camera, I'm coming from a Nexus 4. So this is a huge upgrade. I actually find that it takes pretty decent pictures in sunlight.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] maddog497:
I watched a review that stated the Zenfone 2 camera blew the idol 3 away.

My personal experience is completely the opposite. The Zenfone 2 camera was slow at focusing and unless you picked a shooting mode the auto setting was the worse choice.

I was spoiled with the note 4 and G3 cameras.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] py_martinez:
Completely agree with all you have written on your posts[emoji2] . I have the phone and love it, double tap works very well, apex launcher + Deactivated animations in dev menu is a must!

And to screen off the device apex + screen off app is fantastic!

Oh and I have tried the laggy g3, its sad screen and its bad battery life [emoji6] ..

I own the m8 because the m9 hasn't convinced me, vs the m8..

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] gavolo:
I like it too. if somehow development are started I don't really care if Alcatel updates. hardware wise I'm sure this phone can do better than it is now.

therefore I'm only praying for everything to come together for developments of custom roms before everyone got fed up of Alcatel and leave this boat.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] mswguitar:
There is a 3-pack of Mr Shield screen protectors on Amazon that fit the phone perfectly. They aren't the best quality (shows scratches pretty easily) but they have the cutout for the camera/light sensor.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] maddog497:
I ordered a glass screen protector a few days ago. I was notified yesterday that they are out so they are sending me 2 cheap ones for now and when the glass one comes in they will send it.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Which glass one did you pick and how much?

thanks for listing all the cons and pros.

I read lots of people are waiting for updates . Hope Alcatel reacts fast.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] barondebxl:
1 update in 14 days is actually really good
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] maddog497:
I don't disagree but the update was on start up. Nothing after that. This is a budget phone and a great one at that. If they address a could issue this good be a decent daily driver.

I lost patients and moved on but still check the forum as it was an underdog and I was mostly pleased with it.

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] fix-this!:
Ive had this since yesterday. Phone has great potential with custom roms. My biggest complaint is the serious lag issues. Id assume this is from 5.0.2 and the memory leak. The animations are choppy as hell. Otherwise great device.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] brian117:
5.0.2 is full of bugs, yeah. Not sure why phones would ship with that in the first place but meh. To have a smoother experience, enable dev options and set all animation scales to off or .5x.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Enissay7:
In europe evertything runs just fine animations, app clearing, everything even in 5.0.2, what's your build number?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] fix-this!:
The design is what sold me. Super light weight and very good battery life. Speakers are very good and the lcd is better than my nexus 5 was. The only downside is the lag which im thinking is from the gpu drivers and 5.0.2. Custom roms could fix this. ;)

---------- Post added at 10:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

Id say most users on here agree the animations lag like hell. You must be running some super seceret version of 5.0.2. ;)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] abced123:
what is the phone charging time ? wonder if its Lion battery needs to be replaced faster than others' Lipo ?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] ninethirty:
I'm curious how this phone stacks up to the G3. Right now, a used G3 is about the same price, so that's a pretty useful comparison.

Everyone says the camera is mediocre; spec-wise, it's pretty close to the G3's, minus OIS. I'm assuming that in practice it's not as good, but I'd love to hear a firsthand opinion.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] 3dupunk:
If you like taking pics and accessories go with the g3. I bought a g3 for my gf when it was released and it's an awesome phone that takes great pics. I lost my nexus and needed a phone for now, so when Amazon ran the $180 deal I jumped on it thinking the I3 would hold me down till I made up my mind. The I3 takes good pics, not as good as the g3 but good enough. Tbh I don't think you can go wrong with either, both are great phones.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] neilownz:
I have a g3 for my daily and tried the idol to see if signal strength would be better, worse, or similar. The idol has some crazy lag on touches that annoying, but I bet it's probably just the software.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t-ryder:
I bought a IUNI U3 recently and found two recoveries for the device. There is only these two builds.

I bought the device to try something new and I wanted to translate the IUNI OS ROM.

Problem is: The CWM recovery is non touch and has a bug which causes backups not to work. The TWRP is version 2.8.3 and me and a friend of mine managed to get rid of an overheating bug by adding

other default governors for the recovery (setting on demand instead of performance). Still I have some trouble with this recovery, but it is the only thing I got.

If I want to flash a ROM with it I get errors.

msm.boot_update("backup");
msm.boot_update("finalize");

in the updater script gives me a

line 108 col 26: unknown function "msm.boot_update"
line 109 col 28: unknown function "msm.boot_update"
2 parse errors

using TWRP while CWM flashes the ZIP without a problem.

If I remove

ui_print("Patching firmware images...");
package_extract_file("firmware-update/tz.mbn", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/tz");
package_extract_file("firmware-update/sbl1.mbn", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/sbl1");
package_extract_file("firmware-update/rpm.mbn", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/rpm");
package_extract_file("firmware-update/emmc_appsboot.mbn", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot");
msm.boot_update("backup");
msm.boot_update("finalize");
package_extract_file("firmware-update/NON-HLOS.bin", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem");
package_extract_file("firmware-update/splash.bin", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/splash");
unmount("/system");

from the updater script (deleting the /firmware folder in the zip of course) TWRP flashes the ZIP without a problem like CWM does.

Is there a problem within the TWRP build or is this related to the updater binary?

Or is this command being processed correctly by the stock recovery only?

I am kind of a beginner and I wondered if someone could give me some advice so I do not have to remove the radio update.

Btw: the cooks of the mentioned recoveries are russians and I got no response until now. On 4PDA ru I can not register etc etc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prof_mastermind:
Regarding IUNI U3

Hello t-ryder,

I am sorry I cannot help you with that. I have IUNI U3 for 6 months now. I am sadly using Chinese CWM :crying: and I think I tried restoring backup once and was ok. I tried TWRP once when I bought it and it failed in installing update package so I returned back to chinese CWM.

I am currently stuck at ROM BetaV2.0 20150105. When I tried to update to Beta 3.0 It got stuck at IUNI logo because of problem with Xposed. The IUNIOS use Xposed in their ROM unofficially like MIUI did and they moved forward to blow the Xposed installation in new ROMs. Some OnePlus one users spotted Xposed working for IUNIOS Beta3 custom rom and I did not know how they did it, or may be it is broken for IUNI U3 only.

Can you tell me which ROM you installed and if Xposed is working? Which GApps you use?

The only source I found for IUNI U3 was the chinses official forums. Can you tell me if you found any other sources?

Thanks :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _that:
The updater-script is parsed by the update-binary (which communicates with the recovery only for UI updates), so it's hard to imagine why it would work in one recovery but not in the other.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t-ryder:
Thanks for your reply.

Thought of something like that.

When I get a new build ready I am gonna try an older updater-binary.

I heard that some builds of TWRP have problems with newer updater-binaries for some devcies.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecuba16:
Sounds like or the updater binary has no implementation of the msm.bootupdater function or maybe you need some binary of /bin folder that has this function.

You can decompress the boot image from recovery.img and compare to the CWM boot image if there is any missing binary that has this function.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t-ryder:
On 4PDA ru there are some devs working on stuff for the U3. I have never used Xposed on the U3. Last stable build is b3.0.5 - b3.0.6 is so buggy, I wonder why the IUNI dev team even released that crap.

I managed to flash the b3.0.5 using TWRP changing the updater script removing the device check and the radio update.

delete (in updater script for b3.0.6)

getprop("ro.product.device") == "IUNI" || abort("This package is for \"IUNI\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\".");

and

# ---- radio update tasks ----

ui_print("Patching firmware images...");
package_extract_file("firmware-update/tz.mbn", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/tz");
package_extract_file("firmware-update/sbl1.mbn", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/sbl1");
package_extract_file("firmware-update/rpm.mbn", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/rpm");
package_extract_file("firmware-update/emmc_appsboot.mbn", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot");
msm.boot_update("backup");
msm.boot_update("finalize");
package_extract_file("firmware-update/NON-HLOS.bin", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem");
package_extract_file("firmware-update/splash.bin", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/splash");
unmount("/system");

Updating the radio once was enough (since I tried to translate the ROM and flashed the build over and over again to test).

Here is the thread on 4PDA ru - try reading using bing translator and if you want to dl something switch to original site view.

http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=598571

Thanks T-ryder

Thank You T-ryder. I do not think Xposed will work for all these versions (they all have the same modified app_process) and I need it for many apps. By the way, there is a new version of firmware and it is only available in Chinese forums. its release date is 20150514 and it is recomended from the posts on the IUNI forums. The download link:

Here What I did, of course with the help of google translate:

1. Create A QQ acount from imqq.com

2. Use your QQ account to login Baidu and choose to transfere the files you want to download to your Baidu Cloud (using the right arrow sign ==>)

Note: In Egypt pan.baidu.com links are not opening even with proxies (give 404 error) with some of ISPs so I had to view these links with a different ISP!

3. Use Baidu Program to download the files (It works from any ISP) the program name is: BaiduYun

BaiduYunGuanjia_5.2.7.exe you can google it. you need to login with the same QQ account and it will show the files on your Baidu cloud and you can choose to download any of them (download sign in chinese is like a capital T with a small slash \ at its leg ;))
