[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darrellburk:
I have hard bricked my Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition (GT-I9505G), I believe by using dd to flash on older ABOOT image over the DNL3 version. The phone is now completely unresponsive, no download mode, no recovery, nothing (but it will drain a battery...).

I'm attempting to make an image that will allow me to successfully boot into download mode from the external SD card so that I can flash back to the correct bootloaders.

I humbly request that someone with a rooted GT-I9505G make a dump of the first several hundred MB of their internal SD card and upload it. I can provide a DropBox folder if needed.

You can use a command like this:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/i9505g_debrick.img bs=512 count=409600

That should get me more than enough.

Thank you very kindly!

Hi, Last night I tried to unlock the bootloader which is not me hganz succeeded in my HUAWEI P7-MINI (G6-L11 4G).

After I got out of the Huawei Unlockcode I unlocked with ADP Suite the bootloader and the display was "Unlock Bootloader" but the phone has not started normally but then is turned up again in the fastboot.

When I try to restart the Smartphone comes the Huawei logo but does not wake no matter how long I wait. And if I want to in the Recovery mode is automatically in the fastboot.

What I Haber made wrong and how can I fix the problem again?

I hope you can help me .... ;)

[Sony Xperia M] theperson333:
Is my CPU damaged? My phone is having random reboots at certain times as I have mentioned in this thread:http://xdaforums.com/xperia-m/help/help-strange-reboots-malfunctioned-t3148493

I came to the conclusion that the phone believes that the VOLUME_UP Key is being constantly held down. I used a multi-meter and checked the side keys. Everything checked fine. Then I opened the phone and tested the LINK FPC. The FPC is A-OK. Does this mean that the CPU pins are internally shorted or something? Even if it's the mobo and not the CPU, no-one is going to sit there de-soldering and soldering the parts on to a new board. And if so, what could cause such a scenario? I can't even flash back to stock, so forget about warranty. The LDIs are still white, so definitely not water damage.

So I now have a device which is perfectly functioning(for the most part), but is extremely unsuitable as a daily driver.
[Sony Xperia M] Ydraulikos:
Never experienced something like this but i would:

Try a battery pull and hold the power button for at least 30 sec with the battery removed

Check the side button again and pay attention to the small metal piece on the switch which makes the "click" sound. If you think you can put it back then remove it (be careful i lost mine)

I think you can flash the .sin files manually via fastboot using the flashtool. If you can't flash stock then try other roms (try CM12.1)
[Sony Xperia M] iks8:
side buttons on this phone are preatty low quality, I saw many cases that they broke for no reason.

btw I don't belive that 68 celsuis degrees can broke processor. In hot days my xperia had over 60 degrees too, as well as my android tablet.
[Sony Xperia M] theperson333:
Thanks for ruling the processor heat out. I tested the button and the fpc. Both tested OK. I haven't inspcted the processor because it is under a metal can. Any thoughts on what might have gone wrong?
[Sony Xperia M] theperson333:
I tested continuity with multimeter. Tested at the connector to the motherboard. No short and closed loop when actually pressing the button. Tried battery pull. Don't think it's a software issue. The phone goes into fastboot when plugging phone into computer when powered off, so it is definitely a hardware issue. No reason the bootloader should have failed, but in a way that android can boot. Not to mention that holding vol down causes QC download mode (QC is triggered by both volume keys(can't get in to flashmode now)), so even a mode built in to the processor is wrongly detecting vol up pressed.

The bottom line is, it is a hardware issue. I'll stick to cm11 because it allows me to use a volume quick toggle as a substitute for the volume key. The major concern/problem is the crashing caused by th volume key.
[Sony Xperia M] iks8:
so try to change your buttons, I guess you have some electroinc experience. Search for "xperia m flex cable" on ebay, they are about 5-10$. Maybe buttons are causing short circuit and this causing reboot.
[Sony Xperia M] theperson333:
Turns out my multimeter was showing >2000k as overload, so I used a different one. The link FPC was tested to be damaged. The power button shows infinite open resistance, the vol down shows about 7k open resistance and the vol up shows 2.2k. I guess the pull up/pull down resistors in Xperia m must be quite strong so only vol up shows as a short. Not quite a short though, so I wonder what is causing it.

I searched link FPC at first, but the results were £14. After searching flex cable, I found it for £5. I ordered it, so thanks for the money saving tip. I'll report back with the results.

P.s. how reliable at the buttons on Xperia z3 compact?

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fast_asleep:
Hi,

It seems a lot of people go for micro sd cards (such as class 10) for additional external memory with otg adapters

but I thought usb 3 is much faster and cheaper?

can someone clear this up as I could not find the answer .

anyone know which offers the best speed for saving pictures onto it and playing a couple of emulator games from?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcoplo:
The problem is that the samsung is using usb 2.0 which means the maximum speed that you will achive is about 25-28(MB/s <-correct me if I ma not). If you writing using computer that has a usb3 you will see the avantage of faster speed otherwise there is not. Futhermore good qulity pen drive are faster than a sd-cards class 10 becasue it this type of card only provide 10mbps speed for writing which is good for most part unless you playing 4k video. I would suggest going for UHS 3 type of cards which will saturate usb2.0. that is 30MB/s. Any faster sd cards will be cap by the usb controler. Futhermore memory cards are smaller, ligher and more reliable as a storage because you can easly damage flash drive whereas the otg will cost you couple of bugs.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fast_asleep:
Thank you for clearing that up, I could not find the complete answer in one single post so hopefully that will help others. You have a good point about safer storage as well.

A very cost effective 128GB UHS 3 card is something like the Transcend 128GB Ultimate SDXC UHS Ultra High Speed Class 3 Memory Card (SD and not micro SD

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Transcend-1...S-3+Flash+Memory+Card+95/60+MB/s+(TS128GSDU3)

The Micro SD versions are a bit too pricey so I might opt for a UHS1 instead

I am leaning towards micro SD in case I upgrade to a compatible phone, thus not need an otg adapter (note 5 or even the lg g4 pro which looks very promising indeed)

In light of what you said I am not considering the usb flash drive anymore so thank you for help and clearing things up

Many Thanks :good:

PS So With the next generation usb C, we get faster transfers with the next generation of memory cards or even existing ones we buy today? I'm wondering if it is worth holding on before buying.

Hi

On my G4 the front camera looks like it has become cropped and doesn't fit the whole screen, see attached image. I have tried restarting the phone.

Any ideas why this has happened, if I use the main camera it is fine and if I use dual mode it is also fine, it wasn't always like this, i have changed the ratio settings and that doesn't do anything.

Anyone else had this?

Ive flashed an unofficial gt n7100 cm12.1 yesturday(7-06 build).

since sime error made the rom unbootable, i flashed a custom kernel called widzard kernel2.5

I'm appreciated with the great features and ui.

however i found out that when i plug the cable with my phone powered off, it boots up. It really bothers charging

also sometimes when charging(**only when charging**) my lockscreen(not a custom lockscreen) crashes or says to try unlocking after 30seconds then my phone suddenly reboots.

I think this is a problem with the kernel.

Guys tell me how to fix this problem!!!

I cant even recalibrate my battery!!!!!

[ZenFone 2 General] Niropa:
I'm using fedora but why should all android devs use linux? I think you should use whatever you're comfortable with
[ZenFone 2 General] Jhdoubleoseven:
Because:

1) Android is a Linux system so if you wanna develop it it's best to know Linux up close and personal

2) Building Android things (like ROMs) on Linux is much more straightforward

3) Linux systems are much more secure and generally more stable (not related to Android, just in general)

4) Microsoft is a corporate evil that restricts the freedom of its users and encourages the use of proprietary software ;)

OSX is also guilty of the same evils as Windows with the exception that OSX is a Unix system and therefore enjoys many of the same benefits as Linux
[ZenFone 2 General] glock24:
I've been a linux user since 1998, I'm comfortable building programs from scratch, used to build my own kernel (prior to 3.x) and have modified kernel modules to add support for some devices.

Having said that, I tried to build a kernel and system for an Android device some long time ago, did have the source tree for the device, but it always failed because some blob was missing or some source file had incorrect references to other files. I just tossed the towel, mainly because compilation took forever just to fail at the end. Besides I had to download like 40GB to set up the build environment.

Having previous linux experience did not help me much, as Android was different enough to what I knew. This was at the time gingerbread was the latest version ( Android 3 devices existed, but that's another story).

Hopefully things have changed, if so I might give it a try again.
[ZenFone 2 General] Niropa:
1) android is very different then any Linux distribution, as glock said having previous experience on Linux does not help much.

2) I agree with that point because Linux comes with a lot of tools needed to compile but if that's the only reason you need Linux for then it's better to just run it as a secondary OS on a virtual machine.

3) now that's a very silly point, Linux is only more secure because its more obscure then other operating systems and saying it is generally more stable is just wrong. With windows I had rarely any problems. With any Linux distribution I get very bad screen tearing, audio stops working after a reboot, many packages (steam for example) don't work without hours of troubleshooting and file transfers to my phone or music player make at least one song on every album sound like it got thrown in a blender and got chopped up before being transfered. There are many more problems which don't help my android development. When iI could be updating my ROMs I can't because I'm busy troubleshooting why my distribution decided not to pass grub.

4) that's also a very silly point stallman. With that logic you should not be using phones either because they contain proprietary blobs. The play store is proprietary. Most websites you visit are proprietary (including github which is needed for android development) your mp3s are proprietary, even your computer that you think is running all free software iis running a proprietary BIOS. I could go on all day about the proprietary software you use but I'm on my phone
[ZenFone 2 General] alose:
I work for a major IT company. All system administrators- Window, Unix, Mainframe, or DBA have to use Linux as their OS because it is more secure than MS Windows. The base multi-user model of Unix makes it more secure, then add things like SELinux, and becomes very hard to compromise.

Your garbled songs sounds like you are disconnecting your device before all the files have finished transferring. Your screen tearing sounds like you are using a software or frame buffer driver instead of the accelerated driver for your video chipset. Sound can be a pita at times. A newer distro solved my issues (meaning updated kernel drivers) with sound. For Steam, I think I had to enable a repo, then just 'yum install steam'. It is not so much Linux is difficult as it is different from what you are used to.
[ZenFone 2 General] Niropa:
Lol nice assumptions but no. I can assure you I'm not disconnecting it before its finished transferring, my only guess is it has something to do with libmtp and the way it handles file transfers which must be different then other operating systems. I use the open source amd drivers which give me screen tearing. I noticed proprietary drivers fixed it but then when I reboot its just a blank screen that iI cant be bothered to troubleshoot. I have steams repo enabled and it iinstalls fine with dnf but I can't figure out how to get it to actually open. Opening with the command line doesn't give me any errors to work with either sadly. Also as I stated in an earlier post I use fedora and am much more experienced with Linux then any other OS. I'm also on the latest kernel released (4.0.6 I think? I'll have to double check) and I still get issues with pulseaudio.

With all that being said I'm not trying to bash Linux and say windows is better,(like i said i use fedora myself and have been using other various distros for the past several years)my point was that you should use whatever works best for you and won't get in your way.

Windows ME.

Posted using my phone.
[ZenFone 2 General] Jhdoubleoseven:
I definitely see your point. I guess it really depends on what you hardware you use Linux on; I run Arch on my old HP G71 from 2011 with an Intel Core 2 Duo and everything runs amazingly. The only issues I've ever had is pulseaudio (which magically fixed itself after some time) and a few crashes due to me using a custom kernel (linux-ck). In fact, the only problems I've ever had are completely due to a mistake on my part.

With the Microsoft it was mild sarcasm with a big point: pretty much everything in Windows is closed source. Pretty much everything in Linux is open source (depending on what distro you use, of course). I'm not afraid of proprietary; I run Plex Media Server and Google Chrome. But I made that choice to run those programs. Just like I made the choice of what window manager to run; how to log in to my system (I go through startx now); how to play music (mpd); how to interface with my network. All of these were choices I made in building my system from the ground up -- even with distros like Ubunutu you can still replace basically whatever you want. That's what I meant when I said that Windows takes away your freedom.
[ZenFone 2 General] ROIQ:
Mint 17 on C720 i3 Chromebook here!:cowboy:
[ZenFone 2 General] Jhdoubleoseven:
Actually, every distro is binary compatible -- binaries are based on the processor, so every Linux x86-64 computer can run any binaries on my Arch Linux system. You're either referring to package compatibility, as different distros use different package managers, or just that you don't have all the dependencies (such as the libraries required to run).

Secondly, I'm surprised to hear how many crashes and issues you have with Linux... I easily get an uptime of 30 days+ without a single issue and then choose -- not get forced -- to reboot because my kernel is out of date. I've heard Ubuntu has given people issues but I use Arch which required me to know my hardware to install exactly what I need -- nothing more. Arch, being rolling release and up-to-date, is amazingly stable and also ensures you are in the driver's seat.

Thirdly, while you're right that you can have a secure Windows, the problem is how freely Windows gives out root permissions -- it's just asking for malware. Especially if you make youeself an admin, have fun running as root 24/7. Any *nix OS has an incredibly strong user system -- my system itself has over 20 users on it even though I am the only human who uses it. The other 19 users run programs and keep privileges separate. That and Linux is open source, so instead of like 1000 people looking through the source code you have over 10,000 eyes that may see any vulnerabilities. Windows "security through obscurity" is absolute crap; I will gladly use Windows once they go open source and I can get rid of that bloated UI and use something I have full control of.

Like you said, it really depends on a lot of things... however, as a power user I could never go back to Windows. I need freedom and transparency; Windows offers neither. Definitely don't think less of people who use Windows; some people want things to just work and don't care about anything else. I like things to work exactly like I want them to work and to be in control of what goes on with my computer. It's really just preference; my system is constantly changing and I configured everything myself. It's hard to describe, but when your OS becomes a project -- your project -- that you put time and effort in to get working like you want it's a really gratifying feeling :)
