[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazysuraj:
I just lost my IMEI of my phone Canvas Spark Q380 (MT6582). I restored it via engineering mode. Now I want to go for a permanent fix of my IMEI. For that purpose, I have downloaded SN Write Station and all required drivers (USB Driver, Vcom driver and Android gadget CDC driver). First 2 drivers are successfully installed on my PC but I'm stuck with the CDC driver. Every time I install that, it says Not enough Storage Available, in fact, I have around 100GB space remaining on my "C:" Disk.

Need your Help! TIA

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christos75:
Hi, I have a little problem which is pretty specific to a certain device so not sure if anyone can help me but here goes.

I have a Note 3 (obviously), Stock ROM, SM-N9005 with 4.4.2 version. I also have this device, XLink BT (http://www.myxlink.com/xlink_bt.aspx) that I use via bluetooth to get all my calls on the home phones.

Now, up until the latest update to 4.4.2, I was able to use this with sidesync (via USB connection) running no problem. But after the latest software update, when sidesync is running and I receive or make a call through the XLink, the call connects but I can't hear the other person and vice versa. If I quit sidesync the XLink works as it should, no problem. I'm hoping to find a solution before going back to previous software version as that is a big job backing up everything and restoring.

Does anyone have any ideas how sidesync or 4.4.2 update could be interfering with the bluetooth/XLink? Any settings I can look at?

Also, my wife has an SM-9005, which was working fine, but then she updated it to 4.4.2 and it also presented the same problem.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

So, I just managed to get the Bootloader unlocked, flashed CWRM and then accidentally hit the factory reset button from the system settings menu, and am now stuck in the reset recovery screen.

I have access to adb but not fastboot. I have not done anything with NVFLASH

Am I permanently screwed for this motherboard or can I still be recovered?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Stephenopolos:
adb shell

/sys #cd block
/sys/block # ls
ls

can I use this to edit something and unbrick?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
If you reboot by long pressing the power button, does it boot straight back to recovery?

If so you can try these commands to clear the Wipe Data command from the misc partition:

adb shell
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=64 count=1
reboot

Good luck!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Stephenopolos:
Thanks for the quick response. Yes it does drop immediately into the recovery/reset wipe data screen on reboot.

It's pretty late and I want to avoid making any mistakes in typing commands so I'm going to try that in the morning.

Also, while i'm not the best at the command line side, I am comfortable opening things up, so if it doesn't work I'm not entirely opposed to just buying a replacement MB and swapping it out. Hopefully it'll work though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
If you use Wipe Data from the bootloader or the Factory reset from Settings a command gets written to misc to start the recovery and wipe data.

Problem is, custom recoveries don't really "get" the command and do not execute it so the command does not get erased from misc and you're stuck in booting to recovery because the bootloader executes that command on each boot.

If your recovery is CWM you can try just leaving it on the wipe data screen for a few hours. With past CWM versions that usually worked and it eventually finished the wipe. Not with TWRP though.

Connect the tab to power and leave it on the wipe data screen until tomorrow. Then you can still try to clear the command with dd.

Copy and paste it. You don't want to have any typos with a dd command...
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Only if your recovery kernel is too old to work with the bootloader, in which case it can't access any partitions.

TWRP should do its "Factory Reset" (which doesn't clear /sdcard). I've never tried it because I don't want to restore everything from a backup.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Stephenopolos:
ran command this morning, and it hung in the shell... just sits there without finishing the command.

frustrating... I thought i'd read everything and triple read it again, but the main thread for custom recoveries for this tablet, didn't really mention anything about avoiding factory reset from device.

oh well. found a MB on ebay cheap i'll try the command again in a bit and if it doesn't work then next week i'll be installing a mb myself.

adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=64 count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
64 bytes (64B) copied, 402.164494 seconds, 0B/s

I'm assuming this means success...

will see in a bit... tablet is now claiming it has a low battery after I told it to reboot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Stephenopolos:
Hallelujah! it worked! berndblb You're my new favorite person in the world today.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I have never tried it either. Just seen users reporting that with CWM installed the command eventually went through if you left it alone long enough. That doesn't seem to work with TWRP. But that's just hearsay....

Very good!

But you have to thank [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION] ^^^ for the command. He's the one I stole it from :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] Stephenopolos:
... you got to me first though...

Anyway, I had difficulty getting CM11 and CM12 to install eventually managed to get zombipop to install by dropping it onto a USB stick and using the keyboard dock. Had to flash a new recovery image as well.. apparently the one I put on there the first time around was screwy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Luck for you that I was here first. _that would have made you pull all kinds of logs before giving you the same command :laugh: :cyclops:
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The required logs in this case are already in the OP. But thank you for taking over first level support. :)

I verify that I am rooted because of the SuperUser installed in my phone. Also I verify that I have now a custom recovery CWM recovery. What I want to verify now is that if my SCH-I535 bootloader is unlocked so that I can install new custom rom from this forum. Anyone can help much really appreaciated.

I have a samsung GalaxyS4G from T-Mobile,

Model # SGH-T959V

F irmware 2..3.6

Baseband Ver. T959VUVKJ6

Kernal 2.6.35.7-T959VUVKJ6-CL694130

Build# Gingerbread.VUVKJ6

2 days ago I was finally able to upgrade to this 2.3.6, prior to that I had only 2.2.1.

I was able to upgrade with Kies Mini thanks to Samsung support.

I contacted Samsung Support yesterday asking if I could now upgrade again, I was given the standard answer that I always got when asking about upgrading from 2.2.1, "There is no upgrade for that phone" Just lucky I finally reached a agent at Samsung that had the knowledge or at least the willingness to help or I would still be stuck with Froyo 2.2.1.

I have rooted the phone with Kingo Root and it now shows the phone is rooted.

I am not looking for the sky but would like to at least up grade to Jellybean if not more.

System Storage Used 296 MB, 219 MB free.

Any suggestions?

Since upgrading to WM6, I cannot use AutoFlight 5.1 as it is not compatible. 5.2 is compatible but there are no patches or keygens available.

I found another utility called IBE SuperFlight Manager, which is very similar but cannot get hold of a cracked one.

Does anyone have any utility that will automatically switch flight mode on/off, change profiles and auto-reset? I came to depend on Auto Flight on WM5 particularly to switch off the phone module during the night to save power and in and out of silent mode when I go to lectures. It is probably the one piece of software that I cannot live without.

And no smart answers saying why don't I buy it; where's the fun in that :)

[HTC Tornado] glennza:
Why do you bother to post if you have nothing constructive to offer? It is very commendable that you evidently pay for all of your software, cd's. dvd's etc. You must sleep very well at night.

However, your holier-than-thou attitude just makes you appear pompous. I admire you for having paid your $12 but you shouldn't be throwing stones when, as I suspect, your house probably contains a lot of glass.

If you had bothered to read the thread title, you would have seen that I used AutoFlight as an example. There are other applications that are very similar and some of them are freeware. I am trying to ascertain which, if any, will work with WM6.

So, if you do have something helpful to contribute, that would be great. Otherwise please refrain from posting pointless comments.

Not just on Zenfone 2, it happens on almost every device randomly. (Even Amazon's own Kindle too sometimes). It's not the problem of our phone, but on the Amazon side.

Successfully rooted using Kingroot. Was thinking of playing it safe and installing CWM. Is there a recommended version? Also, how do I keep apps I'm deleting via RootAppDelete from immediately downloading and reinstalling. Somethng I need to disable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fudplayers:
How did you get KingRoot to work? The desktop version won't even open for me and the app has failed (although it does say no root available ) at least 30 times. I did have to flash the neutered OC1 file when I messed up trying to upgrade to OF1 so I guess its like taking an OTA, lost root.

Just followed the steps as prescribed.

I am unable to get a custom recovery set up. Every time I try and boot into recovery it goes into the "Downloading do not turn off target" mode and remains frozen. All steps to install TWRP and CWM are followed so not sure whats preventing either recovery from running . I have SCH-1545 with Android 4.4.2 and Build 1545vrufnk4. Can I even use TWRP or CWM or is Safestrap my only option?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fudplayers:
For you if you don't have the MDK bootloader then Safestrap is your only recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wedmiston:
OK, and how do I confirm the MDK bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fudplayers:
It should say in your phone settings under about phone. I've always thought of it as if you didn't buy a S4 right when they came out, you probably don't have the MDK one. You never know though so I'd check first. If you bought the phone and it was NK4 then you don't have the MDK.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wedmiston:
Cannot find MDK anywhere...also there are many versions of safestrap for J this and J that - how do i find that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fudplayers:
I believe you'll need Safestrap 3.75. You'll need Busybox out of the playstore to make it work.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Gevork Gevorkyan:
I've avoided the issue with GPS by using only sense based roms, but I wanted to check up on this topic because I'm hoping to flash CM this weekend.

ISSUE: GPS doesn't sync properly and can't find location when using a rom that strays away from stock. I had a LG G3 that had the same issue when I flash a different rom as well, so I figure it's not simply a phone problem.

I want to use CM because certain things (fm radio, battery conservation, customization) works so using a sense based rom is not my solution in this case. For instance the FM radio app doesn't work on the Verizon M8 Sense roms. So my question is if this is a solved issue or something that is unavoidable due to software/hardware incompatiblity?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] icnsid3:
I successfully fixed this this week using Echo5kilo's technique from this link:

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/gps-issues-roms-stock-t2891292/page4

No success with just finding a GPS.conf file and pasting in. Just did a nandroid backup via TWRP, cleared dalvik and cache, installed the linked rooted sense ROM (I used the 5.0.1 since was already on lollipop), got a lock with GPS test, copied GPS.conf and gpsconf.backup to external SD, reinstalled nandroid backup via TWRP, and overwrote GPS files in system.Etc.

All is now well on CM 12.1.

Good luck!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] sterfreak:
Please read more than the first two sentences of the OP before posting. I mentioned that I was unable to get into download mode by the volume keys, or opening the phone and holding down the volume contacts to rule out broken volume buttons.

I also don't like this comment as it is not constructive. It's unlikely to be as hopeless as you imply as users have found ways around the FRP lock before. I'm looking for slightly more creative ideas than simply giving up. I'm sure there are some clever individuals on this forum who know of another way this can be fixed other than download mode. Or a way to re-enable access to download mode when the lock prevents it.

Please come back and share when you find a way to get it fixed.

Will be waiting for resolve so others can benefit from your findings.

[General Questions and Answers] johnsalt:
Hello everyone!

TL;DR: Got a faulty Samsung card which reloads on any device constantly, can't perform formatting or safe-erasing.

So I bought this Samsung Class 10 EVO 32G card for my CM12.1'ed Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 in June, and it ran smooth and fast until... about a week ago I left my tablet on one night (with charger), uploading traveling photos for backup at a slow upload speed hotel room. I got up to check my tablet in the morning and I kept getting an notification saying "Checking SD card for errors" and stuff. The notification appeared for about seconds, then reloaded itself (disappearing then popping out), again and again. :crying:

It seems that the tablet couldn't hold up the communication with the SD card for longer than a blink... At first I thought it might be my tablet too hot last night (it's cool in the morning though) and burned the card reader module, so I instantly turned off the device and removed the card.

It turned out that the tablet is ok and it was my card's fault... The backup failed within one hour after I went to bed. :( I got the same problem plugging it in my phone or PC. I can see the root directory in Window's Explorer, and if I'm quick, I can manage to open a few folders and see the files ok, except I lost all my recent documents and photos into a 20GB giant LOST.DIR folder... When a 5-second or so period expires, the explorer hangs and I guess the card got disconnected again... :(

I contacted the retailer for the issue. They offered a replacement but not a fix to save my precious data. I searched online for hours but don't seem to find a useful answer... Later I found that the card wont disconnect when I switch on the READ ONLY mode on my SD adapter (!). This discovery almost made me cry!!! :victory::victory::victory: I then managed to recover some of the lost files, minimizing the damage, but I find myself unable to format the card or safe-erase any files since once I switch off the READ ONLY, I won't get a steady mount. Even a delete or copy command will hang the system. That's a huge problem because I have quite some sensitive files, passwords laying there, reachable once you enable READ ONLY mode... But I can only get a replacement when I return the faulty card.

How can I safe-erase a card in my situation? Is there any software good at this? I'm really desperate for some help! Thank you very much in advance! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

If you want to install a custom ROM such as CM12.1, you do not need root.

You need to install a custom recovery such as TWRP or CWM so you can flash a custom ROM, supersu for root if necessary, and gapps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Matt K:
Honestly this is a pretty helpful guide

http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s3-on-android-4-34-4-2-new/

There are a few versions of ODIN floating around but I would use the one in the link and if that won't work then check out one of the others but I would recomend getting the latest version of TWRP (which is the custom recovery I'd recomend and I'd recomend getting the latest version from here: https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys3att.html

If you ind you're not booting into TWRP then do the following steps:

2) Hold down Volume Down, Center Home, and Power buttons together until you see a warning screen

3) Open Odin but uncheck reboot, install TWRP

4) After Success, remove battery and unplug usb

5) Hold down Volume Up, Center Home, and Power button together

6) Go to Advanced File Mangaer and Mount System Partition

7) Go to File Manager and delete:

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

8) Install SuperSU

Hope that helps
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] logoster:
ok, i don't suppose you know of a good guide for installing CWM?

or would TWRP be easier to install, as i've read in some posts that CWM can't be installed via odin because of it being in a .IMG file instead of .tar

EDIT: [MENTION=4105307]Matt K[/MENTION]

so TWRP would be easier basically? ok, sounds good to me, thanks

EDIT2:

so question, i currently have TWRP installed as the recovery, and CM12 nightly installed for the rom, i took a backup of my phone from within twrp right before i did any factory resets or flashing of roms of any kind, if i wanted or needed to get back to stock touchwiz as my phone was before cm12 would restoring from the backup do that? or would there be something else i have to do to go back to touchwiz
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
On occasion it is necessary to format the internal sdcard when you wipe data/dalvik/cache prior to flashing stock TW when coming back from a LP rom. Many who don't find they are stuck at the AT&T logo when booting.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Before installing a 4.4.2 rom, try doing a full wipe from twrp before restoring a kk backup or installing a kk rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
The full wipe recommended by audit13 is more than wiping /data, /cache, /dalvik-cache. It includes formating the internal sdcard, as previously recommended. A factory reset and wipe of data does not do the needed function.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] logoster:
I did do a full wipe, twrp was literally the only folder still on the internal storage, at least as far as I could tell, are you saying I have to use that wipe buttton and select everything except external, and uab otg?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
The other thing I have seen a few say was necessary for them to be able to flash and boot back into stock TW after returning from 5.1.1 was to factory reset from the stock recovery. You can find a flashable zip of the stock recovery in the NJ2 thread by enewman17.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] logoster:
first off, sorry if i come off like an asshole in any of posts, i tend to do that a lot when i don't mean to

second off i edited the post you replied to, by full wipe does that mean i have to use the "wipe" button and choose everything except USB-OTG and external storage?

and if you did but it still doesn't work, for recovery stuff, i'm assuming i'd have to flash touchwiz first, THEN stock recovery (and i'm assuming recovery from odin) yes?
