[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdd23:
Hi guys. I need help on restoring my s4 on complete stock. I messed up real hard :(

Here my problem. I have an i9505 s4 which is simlocked to globe philppines(mobile carrier). I tried to get rid of its booting animation because it's so annoying for me so I wanted to flash a stock rom of i9505 international version via Odin 3.07 but I rooted it first via Odin also. The time I am flashing GalaxyS4-CWM-6.0.4.4-GT-i9505 tar file, I got a fail in Odin then my S4 won't boot anymore and it says firmware upgrade encountered an issue blah blah kies. I tried to boot to recovery and that's what is also shows up. I tried to use Kies but what it does is just connecting to my device which takes forever. So I flashed a stock rom via Odin and it worked but the very problem is It's very laggy and says that process stopped responding, camera not working, status bar also not working, wifi not working. In short, all core apps are not working or just works for a minute and then stops and hang the phone. Sometimes i get a wallpaper screen(nothing else, just my wallpaper which occurs when it hangs).

Luckily I still haven't hardbricked my phone yet so I need all your help to fix it before I hardbrick it :(:crying::crying::crying:

Please help me how to restore my S4 to the very stock like fresh android software because I'm trying to still fix it days ago. I WILL TRY TO ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS REGARDING TO MY PROBLEM JUST PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE ! IM VERY WORRIED
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
You can chill. Nothing wrong with your phone and you didn't mess up anything. Things like that happen. You cannot brick your phone this way. It's almost impossible to brick it.

1. Perform factory reset in recovery.

That will probably fix it. Report back if it doesn't.

ps do not use CWM because it's outdated. Use TWRP and uncheck auto-reboot before flashing it trough Odin.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdd23:
Is it okay to flash any build number on my s4? I just downloaded one of them "I9505XXUHOA7_OXAHOA7" and I flashed it on my phone. I tried to factory reset/wipe cache partition/ and wipe dalvik cache in cwm 6.0.4.4 touch but it always hangs and core apps are not responding. Maybe the rom is the problem? I don't know but I'll try to flash twrp and report back if it doesn't work.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdd23:
I have installed TWRP and its stuck on bootloop. Tried to reset its factory settings but stuck on bootloop then cache partition and dalvik cache. I tried to install the rom via TWRP and it says installation failed. Should I download other rom ?

I just want it to make it work like what an s4 should be. Even on stock or custom rom. :D:D:D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
I need more details.

- What does it say your model is when you are in download mode?

- What rom are you trying to flash?

- What is the error?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdd23:
-When I boot to odin mode, what I see is:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9505

CURRENT BINARY: Custom

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0

KNOX WARRANT VOID: 0x1

CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30

WRITE PROTECTION: Enable

eMMC BURST MODE enabled

-I tried to flash a stock rom but it always fails even in twrp, so I downloaded a custom rom just to try it to install but It also hangs and core apps are malfunctioning. I think all rom I install fails miserably. I think I messed up real hard because I flashed two pit files in my unit.

-There is no error code in TWRP everytime I fail installing rom. It just says error installing zip.

I really need to restore it to complete stock. Every rom I successfully install hangs and crashes core apps in my unit.

I WILL TRY TO ANSWER ANY MORE QUESTIONS BECAUSE I NEED IT TO USE NOW. PLEASE :(:(:(:(:(:(:(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
You did not mess it up. But you are still not giving enough details. What is the excact rom you are trying to flash? The excact rom you are trying to flash in TWRP?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdd23:
XTE-I9505XXUEMKE-20131212184031 is the name of the zip file. From here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265477. I can't flash it through odin and twrp
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
No you cannot flash that with TWRP. You cannot flash stock roms with TWRP. You can only flash it with Odin. Besides you need to unpack that .zip file.

Keep in mind that you also cannot flash that package if you were on Lollipop.

Download a rom from here:

http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9505

Take this version: I9505XXUHOJ2

It doesn't matter which one. Then flash it using that guide from the link you gave me.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdd23:
Wow thank you helped me alot.It worked but I have this little problem. "Unfortunately, google play services has stopped" and same as filter installer, always popping up on my screen and I can't access messaging app because it always crashes next to google play pop up. Any fix for it ? Im really grateful you helped me. :D:D:D:D:D:D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Your welcome.

Did you perform a factory reset from the recovery?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdd23:
Yes. I have factory reset it and wiped cache partition and works now perfectly. Thank you again :D:D
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheveux_:
Hey guys how are you?

Well a friend gave me an OPO that is really bricked.

Seems like it went to 0% of battery. I charged it to 100% but it does not boot. It stays in loop with the "cyanogen" logo

I tried every solution in every "hard brick resolution" thread.

Instaled ColorOS drivers, Samsung drivers, etc etc etc. nothing works, why? Well..

When i plug the phone on my computer, its recognized has MTP device. The "update driver" option is disabled. Its never recognized as qhsusb_bulk our adb or anything.

It does not seems to enter in fastboot mode ether, has i press vol up + power and it goes to the cyanogen logo again.

Im trying to do this recovery with an windows 10 64bit computer.

I tried to install qualcomm drivers also, but not compatible with my OS.

Not really sure what to do next..
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hea9vy:
I had the same issue. Tried VOLUME+

DOWN

multiple times until it worked and showed up as "QHSUSB_BULK" and then used the OnePlusRestoreTool to unbrick the phone.

Manually selected these drivers for Windows 10 64bit through the Device Manager here:

Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 2.1.0.5

x86: http://download.windowsupdate.com/ms...af53d237ff.cab

x64: http://download.windowsupdate.com/ms...ac311facc0.cab <-------- this one if you are on 64bit Windows 10

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheveux_:
yeah i searched and downloaded the x64 version of qualcomm

But i tried 20 something times to power on the mobile phone with vol up and no luck. still appears in the device manager as MTP device

Steps im taking:

1- Connect the phone with USB cable. Its starts charging.

2-let the screen go off then power + vol up. I let go power button has soon as the phone vibrates.

3-goes to cyanogen log and appears on the device manager as mtp usb device

tried that for 20 times
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukesan:
Try it on a native USB port, so try different ports. Or if you have access to more than one pc/laptop try it on different ones.

I had the same issue a couple of months ago on my wife's oneplus. Spent an hour on my laptop and no go. Fired up the desktop and worked first time.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cholerabob:
Read the answers that people give you " Tried VOLUME+DOWN " , did you try that ?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheveux_:
Yes. i Tried both :/
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amardeep434:
1st thing if it shows the cyanogen logo its not hard brick as per my knowledge.

Yes as suggested try different ports.

So still no luck.

I have no fastboot and no recovery.

I think i can't send you messages, so here it goes

Hey Jeffrey! Has you asked, here is the pm.

So, in advance, thanks for your help. font know if this can be solved but its nice having someone interested in helping.

So, what i have:

- An OPO that doesn't boot.

- When i press the power button, it shows the one plus logo, and then the cyanogen logo, staying there forever..

- When i press vol up + power, it does the exactly same thing, never entering fastboot

- When i press vol down + power, it does the same thing. never entering recovery

I've prepared an old notebook with windows xp to unbrick the opo. Its completly clean.

The phone is always recognized has mtp device. I've installed all drivers on the internet. ColorOS, samsung, qualcomm, etc etc, everything. nothing works has its never detected in msm8974 or anything.

what can i do?

Thanks in advance
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kishore1997:
This might help!

If nothing works email oneplus and request for a remote session i did that and they flashed the os, and ps. while doing that they will tell you to download some files and in that some will be password protected and after completing the process they will delete the file so that we cant use it. If possible, after installing drivers they will tell u to reboot the system and log in back but after rebooting just copy the file to another place and then log in back so they can continue the process. Those files may be helpful for a lot of people.I have attached screen shots. Never mind the first folder, the remaining zip files are to be downloaded and in that two are password protected.
[Moto X Q&A] jamcar:
So I rooted my device using PwnMyMoto before I heard about Sunshine unlock. Recently I unlocked my device using Sunshine and now PwnMyMoto recovery mode boots the system still happens. How can I disable that so I can flash twrp? (I know how to flash TWRP but the phone doesn't boot into recovery mode because of PwnMyMoto.)

Hey Folks, Here are many threads about Project Astoria which is currently not available right now (maybe not in the future also) But no thread about Project IslandWood... There are many tricks which our senior members show in Project Astoria to import Android Apps in Windows Phone. But i am asking about iOS apps, can we also import apps of iOS in windows phone. Like before we were importing apps of Android????
[Windows 10 Mobile] mjz2cool:
short answer: no. long answer: astoria makes it possible to run android apps without too much hassle, but islandwood requires you to recompile an ios app after some changes in the code. islandwood doesn't make it possible to directly run ios apps in windows

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] shoot2scre:
Just got the phone... and when I try to charge it while the phone is one - it displays an error message "Charging paused, battery too hot".

The phone is pretty cool to the touch, not running anything strenuous.

If I turn the phone off - it will charge no problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Deuces:
had this happen after water damage on the s6e. had to get it replaced under warranty.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] shoot2scre:
Did you have to just contact Samsung?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] shoot2scre:
No water damage on this phone...

Simply downloaded the update and suddenly it won't charge the phone unless the phone is turned off. Then it charges just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wolferno:
Exchange the phone. Seems faulty. I never had that problem. Sounds like a sensor issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Deuces:
if this happened after an update, you should do a factory reset / full wipe

I did - and still nothing.

I just tried to upgrade my 9100 G4 with the shell update utility. I followed THIS guide. I did everything including the instalation of the two cab files. I turnt off the telephone function and fully charged my battery. Then when upgrading with the shell utility i got an error on my phone, it say's it could not start ****.exe I don't know what it was excactly. I let the shell tool take it's time. It said it completed the installation succesfully. I did a hard reset. Now it's stuck at the very first QTEK loading screen.

Further down the guide i read, below the lines where it say's you have to do a hard reset, that if you encounter an error you have to trie t again before doing the hard reset. Hmmmmm, i followed the guide in the right order so i didn't noticed this before.

I really hope there's a way to solve this problem. Otherwise i'm kinda :eek:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] peter petrelli:
Flash back to the rom that your device was shipped with or flash the wizard love rom then you can try again with shelltool. Let me know if you need clarification.

Good Luck

What's your phone model. 6902 6903....

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nagaGuy:
oh yes... sory about mising the details. solved the problem. tuk sometym but its okay now. the problem was with flashtool's Sony device files. Not geting recognised & FTF file issue. Seems ftf was corrupted. So used an older flashtool which does not require device files and was able to flash.

Thanks for ur time buddy!!

I bought the V10 for the ability to adjust the microphone sensitivity while recording video. I go to a lot of music festivals and clubs and the bass always gets distorted when recording video. I built a microphone that plugs into the headphone jack to overcome this, but wanted a phone that didn't require it. The V10 failed. I set the sensitivity to -18dB and the quality is still awful.
[LG V10 General] Diocrew:
Well, that is disappointing to hear. That was one of the features that made me choose this phone. I had the HTC One M8 and got really good results from concerts.

[LG V10 General] tersagun:
Heya,

not abound the sound, which is fine, but what's wrong with the video? Even on HD the video has some serious tear/problems. Something exclusive for that clip?
[LG V10 General] blackhemi4x4:
Trying to pick up the bass frequency will probably never happen on a smartphone. The type of microphone that will handle that frequency would never fit in there smartphone.

You can filter the crap out of your microphone physically but then you'll lose the higher frequency sounds.
[LG V10 General] y2jdmbfan:
HTC One M8 did audio awesome, no clipping in the bass of recordings. I recorded alot of clips from concerts.

I've had great results with the Rode Stereo VideoMic Pro for my Panasonic FZ-200 digital camera. Rode now makes a microphone just for smartphones called the VideoMic Me. I've seen it online for only $59 at bhphotovideo. You plug it right into your earphone port and it also has an integrated earphone port so that you can hear what you are recording. Here's a link to Rode's website: http://www.rode.com/microphones/videomicme

Take a look at the videos on the website, especially the two girls who take it into a live club concert. You can hear the music without any distortion. I just may pick one up myself. It will be released on 12/1/2015.

[LG V10 General] chazar:
Unfortunately it's still much worse than on flagship Lumia's or HTC One which uses the same technology as Lumia. I was hopping that V10 would also have HAAC mics since Nokia's patent already expired. So currently there is no good Android phone with dual membrane mics :(

Do you have any video recordings of being inside a club?

I'm looking for a phone that can record festivals as well. My Nexus 5 was pretty much useless at recording videos while I was at Amsterdam Music Festival, while my friend's iPhone 5 record videos almost with no distortion.

I'm hoping the v10 would still be a good buy as an upgrade from the Nexus 5.

[LG V10 General] antiparadigm:
Inside of clubs audio is much harder to record due to sound pressure. Clubs are usually made very sound-solid, and the mic can't handle the pressure. The pressure doesn't build up when outdoors so it is usually easier to get clean audio.
[LG V10 General] dudester68:
I've found audio at concerts fine in Auto mode but when you switch to Manual video mode and try and use any of the audio controls it's crap. I'm buying an iRig Mic Cast, hoping it'll help as you can switch to extrnal mic in Manual video mode.
[LG V10 General] dimm0k:
if possible, please report back on this! looking for something to record audio with as well. tried video recording a BABYMETAL concert and the whole thing was blown out despite having the mic on auto. surprisingly though, using the Recordr app it came out as decent as can be for a phone...
[LG V10 General] dudester68:
iRig MIC Cast didn't help much, better than manual video recording with built in mic's on manual mode but lacked bass, auto video with built in mic's was far better.

However using other apps to record -just- audio worked better with the iRig MIC Cast.

So the built in video recording app is to blame i believe, would be extremely nice if they could offer the same algorithm/system that they use in auto mode with just an attenuation slider in Manuel Mode!
