hmm I've already formatted a card, so the backup is gone :( but I can make another backup.. Can I use that psdwrite to restore a SD backup into some file I can store into my desktop PC? Because I need to use the SD normally.. I mean, I backup files from SD, format it, make SD backup again, then use the psdwrite to extract that backup from card, then use psdwrite to "clean" the card and format it and restore backed-up files.. :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
Exactly what i did ;)

I made a backup with r2sd all and then used psdread.exe to copy it to my PC (where it's quite safe, including a CD backup). If i ever come to need it i simply use psdwrite.exe to pass it back to the SD and use it to restore my Wizard :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] whitewash:
THX.

Could you pls. post the link to the psdwrite?

EDIT: I found something at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=224536&highlight=psdwrite . Is it current or is there any new version?

Ok, I have the PSDread. How many bytes should I copy from SD to BIN file to get entire SD backup from card?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
I can't recall exactly as i'm at work now but the mtty program should display the backup size.

Another solution is to go to the Typhoon wiki in this forum and make a sum of all the areas of the ROM/DOC... or i can give a more precise answer later on when i get home :p
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] whitewash:
Ok, I'll wait.. So far I have made backup of first 145 MBytes (that should be enough) but exact value would be appreciated.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
Ok, my dump is exactly 73.927.168 bytes so i guess that looking around that location you might see the end of the file.

Saving about 75/80MB of the dump will probably include all the data but the really best option is to blank the SD card before making the backup and then see where the last bytes are and the just crop.

In the end it doesn't really matter the bytes after the end since the phone won't use them at all :D

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkergothic:
Can only flash the 4.4 root, any other causes the boot loop error, also no custom recovery's or ROM's works..

Sure i can work around this and create the system I like, but it seems like entirely to much work to "reinvent the wheel" as this would be!

Easier to figure out where I went wrong to begin with..

Anything other then pure 4.4 stock and the root from here results this message and refuses to boot

kernel is not seandroid enforcing

set warranty bit : kernel

and sometimes

set warranty bit : recovery

First of all I'd address that nowhere do it say that to use the latest root you need to upgrade the stock firmware, and that messed me over, now i cant update to stock lollipop as it says the original is modified, even if i fully restore from Samsung so that ship has sailed!
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Whoa whoa calm down there, we'll figure this out together. You're bringing up a lot of issues, all of which can be addressed, if we tackle them one by one methodically :) Stay tuned for my next post

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

OK. First off, you need to update to lollipop for custom roms to work. Use my thread here to download an official lollipop firmware; factory reset your tablet then flash it with Odin and you'll be on lollipop. Yay!

This:

kernel is not seandroid enforcing
set warranty bit : kernel
and sometimes
set warranty bit : recovery

is not an error. I have successfully flashed about a dozen roms on my Tab 4 10.1 and this always comes up on boot. The reason no roms or recoveries will boot for you is because you have not updated to lollipop yet, which is required for roms to boot properly.

So again, you're mentioning several different issues, all of which can be fixed by updating to lollipop, which you CAN do even with your tab all modified and whatnot. See the Root your Tab 4 with TWRP link in my signature to root your Tab 4 once you've installed the stock lollipop firmware. Trust me this is all doable, I and countless others before you have done this before

You can root it with twrp. I would recommend using the tar file for 2.8.6.0 and the supersu 2.49 zip. That's how I've done it successfully multiple times. Once you've got that done you can always update twrp and flash a custom rom

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Alek7:
Hello guys :)

As you can see in Development section, there isn't any Note 4 ROM updated because the Devs support now only the S6 ports. By the way, I find that Note 4 ROM is more adapted to our Note (same dimension, SPen fonctions, etc...) so I want to create a new ROM which will be updated every month (when a new official ROM comes out). So I need some help from you to port this ROM, a kind of "How-to" (I tried it already but stucks on splash screen (Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005)). If I success to port an official ROM, I will be able to port a custom one from Note 4 too, if you want (and the 5.1.1 from the Note 4) ;)

I will be grateful to everyone who will help me in this project :)

Thank you in advance guys :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] q8peace:
me too s6 port is very worse in our note 3 until note 5 it will be great to port it to our note 3 but not galaxy s6
[Galaxy Note 3 General] WhateverMan2:
Since it gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 screen, my guess is that the kernel cannot boot or that the code for the system to start is not found. How did you try to port the ROM?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Alek7:
I remplaced the kernel by an official or custom one from Note 3 as in others ports. I followed this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957219 and this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1941239

I have compared the structure of my ROM with a functionnal (old) port too.

Do you think that these two guides are too old ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] WhateverMan2:
Can you upload your ROM to Google drive? I can help you look through it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Alek7:
Of course I can. Thank you for your help. Now I'm not at home, so I will upload the ROM tomorrow :)

Long Version

Okay, here's quick debriefing. Yesterday evening I attempted to flash the (Beta) UberSlimLP rom. I'm not new to flashing roms, I went through the normal routine. Downloaded the rom, gapps, did an application backup, did a nandroid backup with TWRP, did a full wipe (System, data, dalvik, and cache), and flashed the rom and gapps. Also flashed the KK bootstack because the rom thread said that the KK bootstack was required. After booting, right off the bat there were baseband issues. So I said, oh well and restored the backup.

The thing is, after restoring my phone, it got trippy. It would respond to touches about 5 seconds after i tapped the screen. And if the screen would time out, it wouldn't respond at all after that. Not to mention if I dragged down the notification bar the system would crash and the phone would freeze up. Don't worry though, it gets worse. For some strange reason I lost TWRP and in several vain attempts to get it back I only made my phone worse.

===========================================================================================================================================

Short Version

Every time I boot up my phone it goes straight to fastboot mode and every time I send a fastboot command it fails so I can't really install TWRP,CWM, or any other recovery.img for that matter. Any help? :confused::crying:
[LG Optimus L90] Warimation:
My advise (maybe not the best) reinstall stock rom with kdz.. Flashing bootstack maybe was the problem.. If you were in kitkat you didnt needed to flash it..

Something similar happened to me today. Only I bricked it myself. Try booting into factory reset (powerbtn + voldown, hold until lg logo appears, then let go and put your fingers on the powerbtn+voldown again). If it gets you there, do the factory reset but don't reboot when the screen goes black, try attaching it to a PC. I'm at the moment on Linux, trying to find the boot partition so I could rewrite it. :D
[LG Optimus L90] guysnacho:
Thanks but,

The last 5 times I tried to flash the kdz it failed. :eek:

I found this in the FAQ, maybe this is what we're looking for? :D

All the stock partitions by shinobisoft. The only problem is that although it boots straight to fastboot, all the commands I send fail...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N7Gabe:
Hi,

I'm pretty new to this whole flashing stuff and I would like to get some help/info. I've spent my last week reading through a lot of threads in the last week, I learnt a lot, but I haven't found my answer, so I decided to ask. I've read a lot of people have problems with flashing, possibly because they take the wrong steps and I'd like to avoid that.

What I have:

Model number: GT-I9100

Android: 4.1.2

Baseband: I9100XXMS3

Build: JZO54K.I9100XWLSW

eMMC chip without brickbug.

So a stock jelly bean, with no root, no custom kernel/recovery, no repartition.

I also have:

-PIT file with stock preload, 1GB system, 6GB data.

What I want:

-Make /efs backup, because I've read about efs corruption.

-Flash official CM12.1 with 1GB system, 6GB data partition. (don't need custom kernel/recovery)

-Flash a proper gapps

-Root the device (I think thats flashing a supersu?)

My problem:

I found a lot of step-by-step guides about flashing stuff in general, but I'm not sure it works for my specific needs and also I'm not sure about in what order to what. Also a lot of guides says to check certain checkboxes in odin, others say don't and they don't explain why. Then I don't know what kernel(recovery) to flash that let's me make /efs backup and flash the cm+gapps+supersu. So if it's possible I'd like to ask for a step-by-step guide, to achieve what I want. I'd really appreciate it. Any advice/warning is also welcome.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maniknarang:
Hey,

First, you need to have a custom recovery, and hence, follow this thread: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/galaxys2-i9100-root-android412-jellybean-install-clockworkmod-445008

After following this guide, go into your new recovery and flash the latest recovery from here: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/kernel-t2291756

After flashing this APOLO recovery, make sure you "REBOOT INTO RECOVERY" and not into system. Now, you should see the TWRP 2.8.X.X version. Now, follow these steps to flash the CM ROM:

1. Wipe> Factory Reset

2. Install> ROM, and GApps.

3. Reboot system.

And you're good to go.

Regards. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N7Gabe:
Thanks, but I still have some unanswered questions:

0. Out of curiosity and because I want to understand what happens, why do I have to flash a custom kernel+recovery and root for the stock rom? Can't I flash the APOLO kernel immediately?

1. When do I make the /efs backup?

2. When do I repartition and how? I have the proper pit file.

3. After Wipe>Factory reset, do I need to wipe cach and dalvik cache?

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaxons@gmail.com:
I want to take a minute and share a bluetooth issue I've had with my Galaxy S6. Maybe others have observed the same thing, and while I'm not specifically looking for a solution, suggestions are welcome. The S6 is about 3 months old, Andriod 5.0.2, unrooted, and other than Apex launcher pretty vanilla.

For the record, with the exception of the issue I'm about to describe, this phone has been phenomenal.

I use the phone in my car over bluetooth to and from work every day. For the first two months this worked great, no problems at all with podcast addict or poweramp. Then, I noticed the audio would dip momentarily. As if someone turned the volume down and back up. The bluetooth connection never gets lost, just the audio dip. Then, eventually the problem became perpetual. I will describe the symptom the best I can, as if the volume were being turned up and down. This wasn't the case, more like the bluetooth stream was somehow going away and coming back.

I tried all the obvious things, like re-pair the phone to the car, clear the bluetooth cache, Volume Up + Home + Power button and then "wipe cache partition". As a last resort I did a factory reset. This last step actually solved the issue, for a while. This was a few days ago, but this morning I noticed the same periodic blips in the sound, so I suspect over time the same problem will once again return.

<rant>

I was in touch with Samsungs customer support, who is supposed to "values you as a customer and want to insure that we have provided you with the answer you were looking for". Unfortunately, the blunt truth was they ended up being useless with an offer to allow me to send my 2 month old phone to them and wait for an undisclosed time, for what might end up being a refurbed replacement.

</rant>

Since I don't see mention of this in the forums, maybe it's not a wide spread problem. Maybe a compatibility problem between these two specific chipsets? Whatever the issue, hopefully some future update comes out that fixes things. Defaulting the phone every few months would be a considerable drag.
[Sprint LG G2] rklurfeld:
Sprint turned on Spark in my area in mid-February (Alexandria, VA outside of Washington, DC). I am on Band 41. However, I am getting only about 5 mbs download speed and a tenth of that upload. That seems to be the same speed as un-Sparked Band 25. Has anyone else noticed this on the G2? Is there a way to increase the speed on the phone? Or do I have to wait for a network upgrade. In that case, I thought the network upgrade was Spark. Apparently not.
[Sprint LG G2] gonk24:
Sounds like typical Sprint. Always upgrading, never delivering. Where I live, my G2 is on LTE nearly everywhere yet speeds are usually at a 3g level. It's annoying and unacceptable. I'm done with Sprint in November when my contract is up.
[Sprint LG G2] InsanePostman:
Band 41 here where I live is definitely faster than 25 or 26. I can download on average around 4.0MB/s where as with the other bands I see around 2-2.5MB/s. But I'm sure that doesn't mean everywhere would be that way.
[Sprint LG G2] Shelnutt2:
Band41 won't be available everywhere. Its 2.5ghz so by nature its range is more limited than 1900 or 800 and it has more interference in buildings. Its a good bet that you are not actually getting band 41 when running the speed test. You can use lte discovery to check although its not 100%.
[Sprint LG G2] rklurfeld:
Of course I'm using band 41. I checked before I originally posted. My issue is that the G2 is not using all three bands together for much higher transfer rates. That's what spark is all about. Other people have reported download speeds as high as 68 meg. I'm getting only about 5.
[Sprint LG G2] Shelnutt2:
Spark is not about carrier aggregation, its about band41. Carrier aggregation is on the radar for being part of the "spark" network, widespread carrier aggregation is only just now being deployed. Its similar to Verizon and their branding of XLTE. All it really meant immediately was new spectrum but the brand will eventually cover LTE-Advanced things like carrier aggregation.

The g2 won't be doing carrier aggregation, unless a new modem is released for it. Hardware supports it but software does not on this device.

As for the slow download speeds, we can investigate that further if you want to send me a pm.
[Sprint LG G2] RayTrue04:
It's just your area. My nieces G2 does 30+mb download and 10mb which is what I get on my Note Edge on band 41. Unfortunately CA is not yet live here in northern ct although my phone did get updated to enable it. Carrier Aggregation is part of Spark but not Spark itself as stated above. Spark is just all three bands working independently. So far only a few select devices have CA which are the G4, Note Edge and I think M9.
[Sprint LG G2] rklurfeld:
That's the problem. I thought when Sprint turned on Spark in my area my download speed would increase. Sprint announced it was on in February 2015. I've checked, and I am on Band 41 and receiving both bands 25 and 26 in addition to band 41. The G2 was the first tri-band phone on the Sprint network. Sprint released two software updates in 2014 to enable spark on the G2. Apparently none of that matters.

I'm not sure why you want band 3. I think Verizon uses 4 and 13 and blocks 3. 3 is widely a universal band which I think they purposely block.

To unlock all the bands try this. Go to UE Settings/Settings/Protocol/NAS/Network Control/Band Selection and select LTE all bands.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonylord:
hi,i wiped my phone using twrp and ended up wiping everything including system

so my phone is stuck on the htc pop-up screen

can't even shut it down or open bootloader
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Hold power and vol up buttons for a while (maybe 10 seconds or more) until the phone reboots. Once it reboots (screen black), immediately let go of those buttons, and hold the vol down rocker, don't let go of vol down until the bootloader screen comes up. If the HTC logo screen comes up again, just repeat the process, as you probably just started pressing vol down too late, or let go of it too early.

Once into bootloader, adb push a known good ROM to the phone (or put a ROM removable SD). Install the ROM in TWRP.

And let this be the lesson to

NEVER

wipe anything unless you know exactly what it means and what the result will be. Then double check and triple check what you have selected

before

confirming the wipe.

Those TWRP options are under "Advanced Wipe" for good reason. And the TWRP wipe screen also says for the default wipe that "Most of the time this is the only wipe that you need". Again, it says for for good reason.
