Samsung 'Smart' Switch

OK Folks,

I have had my Tech Expert visitation today with no success. Seemingly the emails I exchanged with Samsung UK were wide of the mark in terms of the impression I drew : Download Smart Tutor (imagine my reluctance ???) & someone clever from Samsung will delve deep into your Note 4 and resolve the horrors which Smart Switch has deposited into your SMS life ??

In fairness the guy I spoke to was a straight talker - there is NO FIX. Samsung are aware of the Smart Switch issue and are 'working on it'. I was advised to use Kies (Shriek!!!) and NOT Smart Switch until Smart Switch is updated.

So, I backed-up to Smart Switch because I was getting repeated Google App has stopped . . . Error 505 for which the universal solution seemed to be : Backup, Factory Reset, Restore - so I did. And I now have the same result as other Posters hitherto.

It appears, according to nice guy from Samsung, who was most apologetic, that it is Smart Switch on your PC which knackers your backup. It is not the restore, hence a factory reset & restore will not cure the problem on a 'statistical success' basis since the Backup on your PC is corrupt.

What 'stiffs' me most here is that I 'cloned' my old SG4 >> Note 4 using Smart Switch & Bluetooth and I had no such problems. I conclude therefore that Samsung have 'difficulty' with PC software (take Kies for exampto look for a decent PC-based SMS Managerle and now Smart Switch) since the Android >> Android transfer was fine - a damned sight faster than Android >> PC for example.

Thus I retire to look for a decent SMS Manager (if there is one) in the hope that I can maybe alter the message date on the phone, otherwise it's a 'save to PC' then delete off the phone so normal service can be resumed. The long threads (with No.2 Son) are absolutely doing my Crust presently.

Sorry I haven't better news to report

Workround!

Got an A3 (2016) that I wanted to 'Smart' Switch all data from an old S3. Everything worked except Messages. It just uploaded older messages and dated them all 2036. So, I did a backup of my S3 using Kies3 then used 'Smart Switch' to restore messages. Surprisingly it did offer me the Kies backup to restore. Hey Presto, Messages all 'restored to the A3'. Hope that works for others as it made my day! Merry Xmas.

Hello everyone

I introduce myself, my name is Jeff, I'm 36, I'm in the department of Oise ( France ) and I just got my new phone "made in china".

After over a year of reflection on the many Chinese phones, I opted for a Ecoo Aurora E04 which happens to be a brand of Elephone group.

I will not go back on the performance of this smartphone because you already have the know.

I come to you because I have a problem when installing Google Play Game, the installation begins and an unknown error message with the error code: -505.

I have already made factory reset, empty cache and google play store, reinstall etc ... but nothing happens.

I give you the feature of my phone:

Android Version 5.0

Baseband Version: MOLY.LR9.W1423.MD.LWTG.MP.V18, 2015/01/26

Kernel Version: 3.10.61 shen @ ubuntu # 2 Fri Jul 17 18: 59: 45: 2015 CST

Build number ECOO_E04_20150716

thank you in advance for your assistance

[General Questions and Answers] Rooted Droid:
Hi guys, Isn't the most efficient way to gain root (besides computer applications and apps) just installing a custom recovery and flashing Chainfires SuperSu zip or am I missing something?
[General Questions and Answers] droid_god:
Yes you are

you should have a custom recovery for the device which you are looking to root.

Most of the devices (new release) does not have a custom recovery released before a 5 to 7 months of time.

So waiting for it is a difficult job.

But for older devices you have plenty of cuatom recovery. So this is a good method to root older devices.

Okay thanks
[LG Optimus L90] VulcanX:
Hey guys,

I recently loaded CM 12.1 on my LG L90 D405n and kept getting a blue screen on my PC when I plugged in the phone. The solution is very simple. Just uninstall the LG drivers from your PC and you should be good to go!

So for anyone experiencing the same thing please keep this in mind.

Hope this helps someone!
[LG Optimus L90] VulcanX:
Ok so now I installed Xposed and cant seem to boot at all. I cannot reinstall the stock software since the LG Drivers cause a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) on my system. What drivers do you guys use once you have installed CM12.1/13 with TWRP?

The device I see is "LGE Android Phone" in Device Manager and there is no driver installed. Is there a custom LG Driver I can use alongside the LG Mobile Support Tool?

Thanks

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] EwOkie:
i9305 Imei shows null/null after flashing I9305XXUFNL1_DBTFNL1 which was a stock rom

Also no signal as you would guess

Now I cant even downgrade to any roms apart from 4.4.4.

Phoen is rooted and tried 4.1.1. I9305XXALI5_I9305EVRALI5_I9305BVALI5 through Odin and Mobile ODIN

On Mobile odin phone looks like its working then stays on the SAMSUNG Logo for ages and nothing, just stays there :confused:

I have a Back up of an efs which I done through Rom Manager but not sure if its corrupted or how to restore it

If someone coud give me a walkthrough :highfive:
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] woodman:
Hi,

About IMEI null/null with 4.4.4 firmware, you should search in this Q/A forum, there a lot of threads asking for this issue. Maybe you should get an answer yourself :)

However, you should try again to do a clean flash of latest official 4.4.4 firmware with ODIN v3.09 by following this GUIDE HERE from [MENTION=5784234]MaHo_66[/MENTION].

AFAIK, it's impossible to downgrade from 4.4.4 because of KNOX bootloader. It has been said many times in this Q/A forum. Maybe it exists somewhere a tricky trick to do it but I'm not aware of this.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] MaHo_66:
In Addition to [MENTION=4752536]FLooDW[/MENTION] 's answer:

Try to use Philz 6.48.4 or 6.59.0 as your recovery rather then TWRP or the old CWM (6.0.4.7), especially DON'T use the latest TWRP from their official website, its a broken build and its known to mess up the partitions! That could be your problem if you have done that before...

Any recovery you want to use, download from my RECOVERY/GUIDE thread that FLooDW linked to you, use those they work fine.

PS. before flashing official firmware with ODIN, make sure you have a custom recovery installed, then boot into recovery, wipe system/data/cache/dalvik-cache/internalSD/boot/modem etc. this is to ensure when you have flashed the firmware, there is nothing left from the previous firmware that was installed.

Note: when explaining your issue, try to do that by providing as much as possible info about your actions before and after the problem occured, that way anyone who wants to help can help you the best way possible.

Trying what you guys have mentioned just now, let you know as soon as :good:

What 4.4.4. om do you suggest?

Also the efs I backed up (not sure if its working or not as it was with Rom Manager)

How do I restore, can it be done with root explorer?

Tried the [ROM][i9305][18.10.15]>>>4.4.4<<<[KK][STOCK][TW][STABLE][+AROMA] S5 Elite Lite v4.0

Currently trying this rom.. watching the installation set up and says so far that set_perm: some changes failed

used philz_touch_6.59.0-i9305

Rebooting and stays on Samsung Galaxy boot screen ??
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] woodman:
AGNi is not a ROM, this is a kernel. Did you flash AGNi kernel over official Samsung firmware ?

As MaHo_66 said, you have to explain more what you have done and what you need if you want us to help you.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] EwOkie:
Steps :

reflashed a Stock Rom then Rooted it then added Philz Recovery

Then Tried this rom : I9305XXUFNL1_O2UFOB1_4.4.4_KK.zip

Currently trying various modems to see what this gives me

Failing this will need to try QPTS or EFS Professional again.

* I know how to flash and root roms if you look at my signature along with kernels I am basically telling you what I have tried to get

this null/null away as I think its a baseband/modem issue somewhere as I have read various posts and some people agree.

Cant even do the *#197328640# or *#*#197328640#*#* to get into certain modes

Thinking it maybe the sim card slot now .......... I am losing my mind now!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] MaHo_66:
There are few other possible solutions you could try:

- try this, it shows you how to get in service mode and the restoring of the golden efs backup, that should be present if its good.

If above doesnt work, then try the one below.

- have you tried to flash the param_bin file? if not try that with ODIN, it might work.. file attached.

Let us know how it goes.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] EwOkie:
H yes tied that file and didnt work

will the imei work from another phone or efs?

isnt that link just gps?
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] GoldExperience:
I'm having an issue with the Spotify app on Tab S 10.5, suddenly only works on shuffle mode. Anyone who had this problem know a way to fix it?

Until last week I could select any song I wished normally, tried unnistalling the app or clearing cache but nothing changed. Google did not help much to find an answer.

I'm using IronRom v2.5.

Anyway any help is apreciated. :D
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] abdullah1994uk:
Very strange considering you are using a tablet. Anyway easy solution. Make sure you are rooted, install xposed for Lolipop and look for a module called "SpotifySkip" This will force spotify into tablet mode (also works on any phone) which will allow you to to choose any song rather than be forced to shuffle.
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] GoldExperience:
After some search on Spotify foruns I found this is happening on some other devices, mostly on Kindle Fire.

Instead of waiting for a fix this module should do the trick.

Thanks for the help.

EDIT: Actually the module didn't change a think, I tried other modules such TabletMetrics bus still no result.

My solution is unnistalling the app and try not to think about it. ;)
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] rookie12:
Change Roms maybe to on a AOSP ROM?
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] GoldExperience:
Yeah it was the ROM's fault. :D
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] LoVeRice:
Or is it just spotify simply removes the (free) on demand play for tablet? I wont be suprised if they also do this on desktop
[Galaxy Tab S Themes and Apps] GoldExperience:
Looking on spotify help forum this seems to be a problem that affects a lot of devices.

The only solution I found is using stock ROM without root or using a older version (4.0.0) of the app.

Hi everyone, I'm facing a problem with my samsung galaxy tab 2 gt-p5100, device is constantly bootlooping, the strange thing is that i can get it to boot for about 30 seconds, but any action that I do doesn't register like if the system is "frozen", i can access CWM, but again nothing works, no wipe data/factory reset or anything else, I can get to download mode but pc doesn't recognize the tablet so i can't use odin. I'm running JB 4.1.2, debugging usb is enabled

Hello,

Welcome to XDA.

If you can still get to recovery then you may be able to use adb while in recovery to get out of the bootloop.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajkatiyar07:
I don't have much idea about development but i think port is partially possible since both are of same OEM. Its been a while and i don't see any surprises here on XDA about G4 port. Its like development has been stopped. But i am putting all my faith on our beloved Cloudyfa that he has something more in his kitchen and cooking something.:fingers-crossed::highfive:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth Tyranius:
I was really Hoping someone would ask about this. It has been a lot of time since Cloudyfa pushed an update to Cloudy rom And after that The progress has been almost stopped. I hope some dev starts working on a G4 port. I have an F320 so I cant go for cm13 yet.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LilProphet:
it's not possible unfortunately, they're both G series, but that's the only common thing in them. Maybe some apps can be ported, or a CM-based g4 style (only themed because of the framework) rom can be made, but that's all.

And last time I checked Cloudyfa hasn't posted anything since Cloudy 3.3, so I'm not sure if he will ever come back.

Hi All,

I've been working on a CAF version for osprey. This is started from kernel and device tree made by Alberto97 and Squid2, so thanks a lot to them for the bringup.

This version is very early and should only be flashed by people who know what they are doing. Flash this at your own risk.

* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,

Bluetooth

It seems that the issue is actually WebView. When opengapps installs, it installs Google Webview, and since this ROM is still configured to use AOSP WebView, it doesn't work. [MENTION=3445372]scritch007[/MENTION] you actually need this commit.

When you say SD doesn't work, you mean it doesn't recognize it at all? Or is it only a minor issue? Just wondering.
[E 2015 Original Android Development] entony80:
Sorry for the question but on XT1524 works this?
[E 2015 Original Android Development] scritch007:
You shouldn't boot without gapps installed. If you first boot without the gapps and then install the gapps you will have permissions issues.

You need to clean data/cache, install gapps and then boot.

If you are already doing this, then you have another issue, only logcat will help.
