For anyone looking for the latest Samsung Firmware to download direct from Samsung if you're having speed issues elsewhere, I recently found SamFirm here on xda http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647 which will let you input your device and region code and download direct from Samsung the latest firmware for your S4/sammy device. Should be useful to many on here!
[Galaxy S 4 General] myshu:
Been using that for a month now. Sammobile links are damn slow to make you buy the premium account option.

When OH2 appeared i was able to download it as soon as it hit the kies samsung servers and not have to wait for some other website to download it and post it on theyre own mirror.

If people remember there was a simmilar program a while back called checkfus downloader. But that died a long time ago , good thing samfirm appeared.

Using it is very simple:

1. Input phone model : GT-I9505

2. Input region code : example DBT

3. Check "Auto"

4. Press "Check update"

5. Check "Decrypt automatically"

6. Press "Download"

Now wait for download and decryption to be done and you'll find the firmware in the root folder of the program's exe.

Hi everybody !

I think now i'm in the right place now to post my brick issue question,

so i'm reposting it below.

Here is the thing :

I downloaded some app which was incompatible with my tablet and unfortunately didn't remove it before restarting.

Result ? bricked in endless bootloop until battery runs out .

My main question is :

- can i get it up and running without losing my data ?

or

- can i recover data before reseting it ?

I have lots of questions in relation to this ; but i don't want to make this post any longer now.

Will ask more as the conversation goes along ...

Thanks in advance ! ...

Hi ,

I posted this in another, older thread, I think it got buried...so I am trying it in it's own thread...

I use gsfinder as my file explorer. I use the map network drive option under tools to map my network drive while at home. If I access the network drive it asks for my username and password, than it asks it it should remember the password.... I tell it, of course, Yes.

So then I either disconnect from the network (turn of wi fi) or turn the phone off....all is still fine.

Then when I reconnect to the router and try accessing the network drive it asks me again for the password. So I enter it again, and again tell it to save the password.... It does this every time I turn off wi fi and then turn it back on and try to re connect to the network drive. Shouldn't saving the password, save the password for future access so you don't have to re enter it every time?

Any body have a solution to this? Is there a registry key that can be modified (I have looked and did not find anything obvious)? Or another solution?

Thanks in advance
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] cameraddict:
Does nobody else connect to their NAS drives? Or does nobody else have this problem? Or perhaps there is no solution...

Any ideas?

I've not tried gsfinder, but could I recommend trying TotalCommander and seeing if you still have the same problem?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] cameraddict:
Hi Andy,

I will look up Total commander and give it a shot. Though I have also used another program, net runner, and the same thing happens.

Thanks for the idea:D . Will post my results.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] cameraddict:
Well My girlfriends laptop would not stay connected to the NAS drive, same as my phone won't. Every time the wifi is disconnected and reconnected you are asked to re enter your password to access the NAS. The solution for her machine was to set up her user account on the NAS to be EXACTLY the same as it is for her user account on her laptop---same user name and password. So my question now is:

I have set the user name on the NAS for my phone to the same name that the phone uses to id itself to the network. But what about the password? Would this be the same password that I use to password protect my phone after X-number of hours? If so, I do not use this feature on my phone,nor do I want to. Is there another way?

Thanks. I have not yet tried total commander. But will probably try that next.

Thanks

Hello!

I want to switch on the network connectivity speed display. It was in the settings panel earlier, but now it disappeared.

Or maybe not completely. If I search in the settings I can see that the option exists, but when I click on it, it's hidden... (See the PIC attached)

I'm guessing there is a option in a deeper level where I can set it.

Does anyone know a solution? My phone is rooted, so if it requires editing some config files, I'm all for it.

Thanks.

So i have rooted my device via your method and after reinstalling lolipop i found that the setting was stil missing.

Unfortunatly for me there is some bugs in that update, there is no keybord app. I then started searching for a way to edit the system wide prefrence database file, where i also found the entry located inside the settings.db file , but it is not possible to edit it without corrupting the data for further use by the phone. :confused: :)

After installing the latest Resurrection Remix rom i can boot directly into TWRP (with restart menu)... i don´t know why it works but i´m happy.

For the record, while installing 2.8.5 I first tried on-device methods: dd and rashr, but always ended up on cm recovery. fastboot flash fotakernel did not work as well. What did work for me was fastboot flash recovery. YMMV.

But You have new bootloader. Im probably (my device spends summer in sonys service) on old bootloader, so recovery wont work.

Something with the "new" bootloader and twrp doesn't seem right.

TWRP 2.8.5.0 falshed via fastboot flash recovery works fine.

TWRP 2.8.7.0 (this version) doesn't on some Kernels/ROMS

However it works fine with Saatvik's BlackSheep-Kernel

Also i cant go to recovery the method sony described, despite having flashed the "TA-Update"

Anybody got it?

I wonder why that is...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] TimeTurn:
Works great so far, but it does not safe it's settings. (Brightness, Time Zone etc everything at default on starting the recovery). Is a new version in pipeline that fixes that? Thanks

Edit : works now, only display brightness is not adjustable.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Hermann1222:
For me it´s completely random. One time settings survive a reboot the other time not.

TWRP also won´t work with the android 5 encryption. I type the correct password but TWRP shows the wrong password error.

I'm glad I have a recovery installed that survives flashing ROMs like CyanogenMod that come with crippled recovery or even without one. Saved my ass more than once especially with CyanogenMod ?

GSam says the time reported is from "custom reference". Change the GSam setting to be something else...

Since last full charge would probably be the most obvious. But some people prefer since last unplugged.

Touch the 'delta' symbol (triangle) at the bottom of the GSam screen.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AB__CD:
I know I specifically set it to custom because it reportes the last charge was 2 days ago
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonJoel:
Well I don't know what to tell you then...

When I have GSam set to 'since last full charge' it matches the usage of the built in battery stats (which are also calculated based on 'since last full charge').

If you use a different reference point in GSam, of course it won't match the stats on the built in app...

Hi,

I`m using my XMD (Android C2004_15.5.A.1.5) with two SIM cards active

I have a problem with the Network Mode Preselection Settings.

I`m working with two different modes for Network Mode Preselection.

On mode A without a problem, on mode B with a problem.

Network Mode Preselection - Mode A (without a problem/error):

SIM1: WCDMA (preferred) GSM

SIM2: GSM only

It is working without any problems even after the mobile phone is switched off and on again .

Network Mode Preselection - Mode B (with a problem/error):

SIM1: GSM only

SIM2: WCDMA (preferred) GSM

There is a change of the Network Mode Preselection after mobile phone is switched off and on again.

SIM2 preselection is changed automatically to GSM only mode! That change will reduce the Mobile Data Speed extremly.

SIM1: GSM only

SIM2: GSM only

Any solution for that problem ? :confused:

I did a backup of all partitions with TWRP and installed CM12.1 20150907 nightly to have a look (coming from stock Lollipop). The exchange services kept crashing and wouldn't sync my contacts so I decided to revert; I wiped everything and restored from backup. When the phone was back online I found that there was quite a bit of data missing from internal storage. I went back into TWRP, re-wiped everything, formatted internal storage, and restored again but still found data was missing.

Did I miss a step somewhere? I have just about come to terms with my information being irretrievable but I'd like to be prepared for next time.

Not the best question to be asking here. It has been asked before, and others have posted their ideas and thoughts on the matter. However, it's a subject that we, as a site, would like to steer clear of. It is, at best, unethical.

Everyone here that decides to make the most of their device and mod/tweak/upgrade it, do so knowing that it does void their warranty. Everyone handles the warranty issue which ever way they choose. However, asking how to purposely destroy your phone for the purpose of defrauding a company cannot be tolerated here. It truly does reflect poorly on the site.

Good luck.

When you do something that voids the phone warranty you take the responsibility of that action and you live with the consequences of having no warranty and you wear the cost of fixing it because you are the one who voided the warranty. I have lost the warranty on my phone because I want to get the most out of it and that is my choice to do that but if it breaks I know I have to get a new one or pay for repairs because I don't care how big a company is fraud is a serious mater. I wish you luck but this is not the place for those sought of questions into how to engage in fraud because companies can send us letters as Microsoft did that they will take legal action because they see that xda-developers are facilitating active defraudation of a company.
