This is a 4.4.2 rooted android that i just flashed a custom spirit rom. It worked perfect but I go greedy and tried to format the whole phone with intentions of reinstalling spirit again on a fresh device but soon as I formated my phone i got the boot loop....Fail.

Cant access recovery even though the twrp logo pops up when i attempt to enter recovery only to boot loop again.

I tried flashing back to stock rom via odin but no can do cuz you cant downgrade. So I tried reinstalling twrp via odin. Said success but it still won't let me go into recovery mode cuz it still boot loops.

What should i do?

Should I try to use odin to flash to the custom spirit rom that i had on before this happened?

Or download a custom 4.4.2 stock rom and dtry to use that to flash via odin? makes no sense since i had the spirit rom last.

I'm looking at countless threads and am a little bit clouded wtih information. I have a feeling there is something easy to fix this that i dont know about. aNy input? thanks......:cool:

Should i try to install the stock recovery with odin? or another custom recovery thats not twrp? then install spirit rom again?

its an att i747 , not canadian one.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I'm not sure but maybe you need to flash a PIT file too?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bamf210:
Installed CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5.tar_13-40-46.md5 via odin with success. Now I tried to re install the custom spirit rom again but get the error 7 installation aborted error. I know this rom will work since I had it installed last... what gives?

Also it i asks me to install update.zip when installing spirit rom. What update zip ? Should i rename the spirit rom zip to update.zip? or is it asking me to update to 4.4?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bamf210:
Sorry one more thing. I downloaded

I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME stock rom

update412

update4.3

zips ....Should i install stock rom first then the updates? then re root then re stock rom?

I read that if you install stock rom you could brick the phone becuase the bootloader wont let yuou downgrade... so before i potentially brick my phone should i just install the update 4.3 or can i just use the stock one and update?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Status 7 errors can occur when the recovery is out of date.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bamf210:
when i initially formated the internal sd card i deleted 4 partitions via twrp

so when i used odin i notcied it had an option to re-partition

should i click it or will i mess up my phone

wont let me install twrp via odin, only cwm recovery is sticking. then any zip file i try to flash via cwm says the sd card is bad?

i found some guy with the same problem in these forums

he appears to be talking about his external sd card but my internal sd card is the one i formated?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bamf210:
hi guys is this forum still active? I think im making this too complicated...

Problem: deleted key partitions via twrp now stuck in bootloop...

things i done.... installed cwm via odin since twrp wont stick. tried to install stock rom via recovery and the previous custom rom i was using "spirit rom" fails with error 7 and says my card is bad when i can read it via card reader still.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
What version of cwm are you using?

You can tick repartition but I am not sure if that will help. I have never used that option.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bamf210:
oh hi thanks for replying. its CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5.tar_13-40-46.md5

Yes i know im suppose to use an updated version, but i downloaded CWMTouch-recovery_ATT-6.0.3.1 to try to install via recovery but the zip got error status 7.

I'm thinking i messed up the filesystem table.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Lets start fresh. Do you what bootloader version is on your phone? When you boot into download mode, do you see anything on the screen about warranty bit?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bamf210:
Thanks for the response

product name sgh-i747

current binary: custom

system status: custom

qualcomm secureboot: enable

warranty bit: 1

bootloader ap swrev: 3

Am i screwed?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
This tells me that you have at least a 4.3 bootloader on your phone. Do not try to flash a stock rom to your phone until you verify the exact bootloader.

It is best to take things one step at a time. Was your phone ever running a stock kit Kat rom?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bamf210:
It was 4.4 from what i remember i tried updating and it had no update available. That propably does not mean anything but for sure it was 4.4 and rooted stock rom. I did install a custom rom named "SpiritRom-4.4.4-v1.7-20141112-d2lte" and it ran perfect. It was also the last rom installed.

I messed up and either deleted or formated all my filesytem folders in the phone via twrp hence the boot loop....

Thanks for saying not to install the stock rom. I just downloaded it and the updates as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bamf210:
Not sure how to check, Is the clock mod recovery log reliable? It shows ro.bootloader=I747UCUFNJ1 google search shows it as 4.4.2

Am I going to have to flash a 4.4.2 stock rom? Or can I just install the custom "spirit rom"? via odin? since I get the error 7 when trying from recovery...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
The phone is running the latest bootloader so you cannot downgrade it it; otherwise, you run the risk of bricking the phone.

Download the latest tar version of TWRP from here: https://dl.twrp.me/d2att/

Open Odin, uncheck everything in Odin except f.reset time.

Connect the phone and flash TWRP.

When you see the word reset in the window, remove the USB cable, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot into recovery to make sure the phone can enter into and stay in TWRP.

If you get an error when flashing, let us know the error.

[Asus ZenWatch] Jessestr:
Hi all

I recently returned my Moto 360 because of the battery. Got the zenwatch. First cycle lasted me three days. Now in one night from 79% tot 39%... without usage?

I'm on 5.1.1

Aside from that I had a problem with Android Wear crashing on my watch and then it needs to be restarted (the process). Also I have lag like hell. Just poping out a menu with cause lag and slowness of the watch, after some time it just goes well again. Anyone experience lag issues with the Zenwatch? Reviews said it would run smoother than the Moto 360 ...but not for me yet;...

If I can't get it fixed I might return this one too and stay out of the smartwatches for some time.

Thanks

Jesse

Tried to root my phone that just came in the mail today. I am stuck at the mi screen.

Tried to download from official site but the download keeps failing.

A mirror to the new update so I can flash stock and any advice would be great!

Thanks all
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] elot01:
Which version are you talking about?

Latest is 6.6.6.0 as far as i know.

The version with 6.6.8.0 is only for Asia and not released for the world.

About rooting: use the toolkit v4 (and not v3)

First install TWRP via that toolkit and only then start the root proces.

Worked for me, but if you do in another order, you will get stuck.

http://en.miui.com/thread-117336-1-1.html
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] gotmicah:
Thanks for the reply and the quick guide to rooting it. I may have been trying it with something other than V4 which could have caused the stall at the "mi" screen.

I think I might just have to wait until their servers are back up because I'm pretty sure ill have to do the fastboot flashing method.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] rob rich:
[MENTION=6858269]gotmicah[/MENTION]

I had problems downloading too the last days...slow speed and after a few MB it kept failing. In miui forum i found a tip about this tool http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/

Just copy the download link in there, worked great :)

And i think if you install twrp and flash your Rom, it should be enough.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] Evil Tak:
Yeah, and one more thing. Xposed doesn't work in MIUI, but it does work on my build of CM12.1. Don't try using Xposed, caused a lot of problems for me (like apps disappearing etc) and don't use OTA. Download the update zip from the website and flash manually. Just thought I'd put this out there :)
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] gotmicah:
Thanks dude, you're the true MVP here! I used something similar to freedownloadmanager and was able to get the newest fastboot version in around 2 hours! Sounds slow, but better than a failed DL (I had to remove the link in the quote because im a new member)

This is useful, thanks!

ALSO

I just want to let everyone know that may be searching because of a bad flash or similar situation...

If your flash keeps failing, switch computers and try again. My flash would only take a few seconds, say successful but the phone would be stuck in fastboot mode. I installed the same exact files/ drivers on another laptop, tried again and within a few minutes had a perfectly function phone again. Of course this was after hours of frustration and it ended up just being the computer I was flashing it on...

Hey Y'all!

By some miracle, I managed to follow the instructions on one of the threads and I managed to actually root the device. Don't ask me to do it again...if I had to, I'd definitely mess it up.

Now, I'm running a windows 8 (64-bit) machine and I am desperately trying to figure out how to repartition this darn device so I can get more room (why they set this up this way, only they know....as if they can force me to only buy THEIR books....mmhhhmmm).

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Some sort of definitive set of instructions on how to gain access to the partitions on this device and re-jigger 'em to get more room on the user-mountable storage?

PLEASE?! :D

Thanks!!!

(much appreciation in advance)
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoboscaca:
As the title says, Is there a way to do this on Xperia Z3+ Single Sim?

Is there a hidden option?

MTP doesn't work well for certain things like transferring files that are not naively supported on the phone (i.e. certain music or video files), and large files, also it seems to go a lot faster when using MTP mode.

Some of us rather not have to remove our MicroSD along with the Sim card in order to use USB MSC mode. Also there are times where you are in a place that does not have card readers on the pc readily available so having the option of MSC would be nice.

Thanks for the input, But that's just normal MTP mode not the requested MSC mode.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_brad:
Did you encrypt your SD card? Cause that should not let you access your device in msc mode, as it would make absolutely no sense. The device decrypts your accessed files on the fly via mtp.

Tuning The Settings​

Use kernel adiutor to tune the settings.

Iv'e included a few profiles oriented to: performance, battery, balanced.

Expand to see Profiles

My personal Settings

Balanced

Performance

Battery

These virtual memory settings are not for all users, it depends on how much multitasking you have going on on your phone, if you face some lag in any heavy app like FB just revert these VM changes and stick with the default ones altho they are a little bit more power hungry.

Explanation: dirty ratio is a value in percent that determines the max amount of system memory that can be filled with dirty pages untill they need to be writen to disk, when this limit is reached, system begins writing to disk (this is what may cause sligh lags) the value is high (80) because we don't want to write to disk very often, swappiness also plays an important role here, it is also set to high (100) to make the kernel swap agressively when dirty background ratio (60) is met. Then comes vfs cache pressure and it is set to low (30) this is also a percentage value and controls the tendency of the kernel to reclaim the memory which is used for caching (we don't want this to often). The centicec values are only timers for wrting actions. The min free kbytes value is the minimum memory the kernel will keep free at all times.

Iv'e written this for better understanding, you can visit this link for a more tecnical explanation.
