[Android Head-Units] jaedynj:
Hello,

I've been looking through to see if its possible to upgrade my Android Head Unit from 4.1.1 to Android 4.4.4. Is this possible?

CPU: Cortex-A9 Dual Core

RAM: DDR3 1GB

Android Version: 4.1.1

MCU Version: 4.2.15-1-10-2101

System Version: 2.7.9

DVD Version: 2.13.11-hd860mc

If you could assist at all I'd appreciate it. Thank you!
[Android Head-Units] jaedynj:
Hey guys,

Thanks to this forum I was able to upgrade to version 2.9.5. My unit is an AN21-U.

I used the redmod files referenced in other posts (which is already rooted and runs very nice).

I then had to adjust the MCU. I selected a Volkswagen 4.3.13 Model which fixed my radio/bluetooth issues.

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 4] pix74:
Dear all,

Can you please give your opinion on this :

I experience some issues with my Mi4W, GPS was usable at the beginning (this summer) but then it gets worse and worse, and now it is unusable, I'd like to know if you experience the same Issue or if you think I have a specific Problem (hardware for example)... or if I have to wait until next update, flash the rom, etc...

outside fix is possible but in the car or inside the house it isn't. What's confusing is that my girlfriend using a redmi note 2 can fix inside the car and inside the house...

Inside I really can feel the difference between both phones because my phone detects much less sat than the other (max 1-2 instead of 18) and can't use any, whereas I get a fix with 6-7 with the redmi note 2.

Here's some screenshot from mi Mi4, and her redmi note 2 at the same place after waiting some time :

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] pashavan:
Hello,

It is not my first time for rooting and custom rom using however this time i guess i did something wrong or missed something but i couldn't have figured what it is so far. So i need a little help.

At first, i downloaded "vcoreroot-v2.tar" from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2355680 and flashed via Odin. When i tried to open the phone i could here the opening sound but with a black screen. So i kept searching and tried the file from CF-Autoroot. There was no change.

Later on, i installed TWRP and wiped and formated everything. After that i installed a custom rom. Now what i have now is again during opening i can here opening music but this time together with Samsung logo.

Regarding this problem, what i understand from my searches on internet, this is a Boot-Loop / softbrick. To solve this problem i tried everything i read but still no luck (wipe data, cache, factory reset etc).

I am not actually sure if it is a loop since my phone does not keep closing and opening. It is not a loop, it is stucked instead.

Anyone has an idea?

Thanks in advance.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fegdeg:
Dear xda community,

I have trouble using fastboot with my Xperia Z3 (d6603).

In cmd the "fastboot devices" list my phone with fastboot status. Other behaviour is not like on my other phones:

fastboot getvar all
all:
finished. total time: -0.003s
fastboot getvar product
product: D6603
finished. total time: 0.003s
fastboot getvar imei
imei:
finished. total time:-0.003s

Any command starting with "fastboot oem" just gives me three dots like:

fastboot oem ?
...

Ctrl + c will cancel, otherwise it just stays on the three dots forever.

What could cause this? I have fiddled with adb and fastboot drivers for many hours now with multiple usb-cables and computers. Thanks for any help regarding to this :) !

Does this sound like a baseband issue? Would appreciate guidance on how to check that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] audit13:
It could be a baseband issue. How was signal quality on a stock rom? If it was fine, it sounds like it is a rom issue.

You may also want to try upgrading to the newest bootloader and modem too. Update options for the i337 and i337m will vary.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
You won't find one really. Due to alot of the stuff not being able to be messed with due to hard coded color codes. It takes a special apk just to work with any theme set up. Layers or theme engine.

Anybody here use PocketCasts for their podcast software on their Android? For the past few - who knows how long - I have received EROFS (read-only file system) errors with this app. The really weird part is that sometimes it will download, and sometimes it won't.

Yes, I know there was a things Android did to block access to the SD Card, but I figured that app developers would have taken steps to make it where this would not be an issue for their apps.

I would rather not reformat my SD card and see if that resolves the issue, but I'm not against doing it.

Hello my dear friends.First I want to shout BIG thank U,to all developers out there - your work is amazing and thank you all so much!You people are great!Really!

OK,now i will try to be short and explain this:my s3 works great with any rom from 4.4.4 and below,modded roms from here,originals,everything works just perfect-when it says "stable" it really is.

Problem starts with roms 5-and above,all rom functions are working perfect,CM,AOKP,R.Remix,Doktdo...I tried about 20-30 roms and they are really cool,fast,stable,most of them-when it says ok,stable,they really are.But,soon as I install viber,whats up - those two are sooo bad,there is big big echo in calls,from my and other sides,on some roms echo is sooo loud that i cant hear anything,and the other side also.And video,on viber and w.up is not working at all.Only(on some roms) I can see the other side,but they dont see me.

Only skype works with audio and video on most of these roms in my case and sound is clear,picture is perfect.But viber,whats up-nooo wayy...

I contacted vibwe and whats up - got response that my roms are buggy but I dond understand how this can be-and no one here mentions it in comments,i searched this powerful forum for some big time-didn't found nothing.I'm confused ,you people are experts,im really not,I now hot to update,flash,cwm,that stuff.

I have 2 same S3s,one is white and one is black - same thing happens on both,video is working,I can take pics with 5+ roms..everything is working - just viber or w-up-killing me - my wife uses these two,my child learned these 2 apps,they say that skype is to complicated for them - can someone please,please have any any idea?

Thank U guys sooo much,really I appreciate yours work,thank you all.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steeleio:
So I took the OTA for MM and everything seemed fine. I noticed that if I tried to go into recovery my device would just restart. I flashed the recovery image but the same thing happened. After I tried to flash the recovery file, ADB did not recoginize my device anymore. I flashed TWRP to see if that would work. From the bootloader ADB did not recognize my device but if I went into TWRP my device showed up. I did not install SuperSU from TWRP but when I rebooted I was in a bootloop. So I used the restore to stock tool to reset everything. It flashed fine but failed on the radio file. Now I can't set it up because it hangs at the WiFi screen, ADB does not recognize the device for me to flash again, and I can't figure out how to fix this.

What about fastboot
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samwathegreat:
Are you using the new SuperSU beta? The play store / alpha version of supersu is not compatible with MM. I suggest more reading, specifically this thread: http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133/page425

Also, because you did not fastboot flash the LP modem after returning to stock, your radio/wifi will not work. It's not an issue with the phone, but rather user-error. Fortunatally, it is a simple matter of getting you working again.

My advice is: Flash the stock unrooted MM TWRP backup (you should already be on the MM modem) and you should be able to start over. Just be sure to use the appropriate supersu beta, and DO NOT modify the boot image.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thickymcthick:
Firstly my thanks to all the experts here - I'm a complete noob, yet I've managed to use the threads here to install a custom ROM on an old Sony Experia and more recently my Galaxy S3.

However, my S5 is sick and I'm stuck. Sorry to start yet another thread on this topic, but they mostly suggest things I've tried and in any case my head is spinning with it all so I'm starting afresh.

History: I was using the S5 as normal (RealCalc, IIRC - nothing exotic) and it became a bit non-responsive, so I restarted the phone. It hung at the 'Samsung Galaxy S5 powered by Android' screen. Tried again, same; took the battery out and tried again, same.

After much Googling and searching here, here's what I've tried:

Used Odin (various versions) to flash a recovery (can't remember which one). It appeared to work but on booting into recovery (power, home, vol-up), it hung at the 'recovery booting' screen.

Used Odin to flash a TWRP recovery. This gave me 'recovery booting (blue), recovery is not seandroid enforcing (red), set warranty bit: recovery (yellow) but still hung.

Eventually, after several attempted flashes, it booted into TWRP; the first thing I thought I should do was take a backup. It was late at night, so I left it backing up to the SD card (connected to USB power). In the morning, the screen was saying that the backup had completed ok, but the phone was completely frozen. Since then, it's never got past the initial boot screen

I also tried Odin to flash a stock ROM obtained from SamMobile. This failed right at the end (FAIL! (Ext4)).

I found a PIT file for the 900F, and with this and the stock ROM, got Odin to a PASS at the end. However, it still hangs on reboot.

The only thing that seems to work reliably is getting into download mode and flashing with Odin, but it never boots after that. I've tried other variations of the above but foolishly I didn't take notes and in any case they all had the same result.

Completely stuck. Would very much appreciate any suggestions.

I can't flash from a ROM on the SD card because I can't successfully boot into recovery.

I suppose, you already tried to flash twrp-2.8.7.0-klte directly from here: https://dl.twrp.me/klte

and latest stock rom for G900F and your country directly from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900F/

And earlier stock ROMs, and with earlier ODINs too, in various combinations.

Every time, the flash appears to work but it then hangs, booting into recovery. I get the blue 'recovery booting' line at the top, on the Samsung initial boot screen.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thickymcthick:
I took it to a local (I live near London, England) Samsung authorised service centre and they replaced the board.

It cost me GBP 169... :crying:

Worse still, it turned out that it had a 2-year warranty, not the one year one that I thought it had. If I hadn't tried to reinstall Android, thereby tripping the Knox counter, it would have cost me precisely nothing...

An expensive mistake there - check your warranty carefully.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firareza:
My warranty isn't valid since i bought a mint condition second-handed G900F from SG. I'm Indonesian. My knox is 0x1 today when i tried to fix that using boot.tar (i didn't know if it'd make my knox avoid! desperately tried every possibilities. Ended up sobbing to see that 0x1).

I thought the problem is on the software, not the hardware. So i'm bit shocked reading your statement that you replace the board. Hope the local service center near the city helps. Thanks for the info!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thickymcthick:
Well the thing is, flashing a new Recovery and booting into recovery mode isn't difficult - I've done it several times with other phones, and it's a straightforward procedure.

So the fact that the phone wouldn't boot to Recovery was (in retrospect at least) a bit of an indication that all wasn't well with the hardware. I wasn't messing with the phone when it failed initially, either - I was just using it.

Booting to the stock recovery was the first test I did on the repaired phone, and it worked fine. I'll be leaving the ROM as stock, though, till the warranty runs out.

A bit strange for the board to just stop working though - I've looked after the phone very carefully since new.

Is it common with the S5, does anyone know?

possible Fix boot issue

i would try to use samsung firmware repair stock image so not the stock firmware given in this post

-you probably used

G901FXXU1CPE1_HOME.tar.md5 with the wrong odin version or a corrupt version

(odin gets corrupt somehow after windows get new install so after a flash best remove odin files just keep the firmware file )

need to be the

AP_G900FXXS1CPC8_CL7182592_QB8899966_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 (just download all others including this firmware version yourself)

before you do that you will have to first flash the modem and bootloader so going to do a blind flash after that with all the 4 drivers bl,ap ,cp,csc

turn auto reboot off because after the flash your device still bricked because of the kernel panic for that you need to flush the memory on the device by debug it with adb

and push g900f debrick.img to external sd card

then use adb to reboot device into bootloader and if all steps performed correct you get bootloader activated

now with bootloader active you should be able to Flash a custom recovery and the latest stockfirmware with odin 3,09 Odin because that the only one that work with the galaxy sm-g900f.

btw getting this all done requeres some skills with adb that i dont have and could use to debrick a SM-G900F that boots into samsung setup but with a blank screen but usb debugging disabled (bought it for 50 dollar)

i need to put the debrick image with a bootdisk creator but dont have a sd card reader in my pc lmao
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
this fella is a day late and a dollar short but he's on the exact right track. Im betting that theres a possibility that you were just using the wrong tar.md5. The debrick.img is usually reserved for when the phones bootloader is borked and it wont show anything on the screen ever at all. Ive resurrected an S3 with its debrick.img, but it was a different set of symptoms than this

I'd also like to know. Appears to be the same problem as I have.

EDIT: Tried it with Odin 3.09 but nothing worked. That phone seems to have a reactivation lock enabled.

I can't boot into recovery mode because just keep going the same bootloop. Tried to flash CF-Auto-Root for klte, twrp, philz touch recovery and the following stock-roms:

- 4.4.2 stock O2 (VIA)

- 5.0 stock O2 (VIA)

- 5.0.0 stock (DBT)

- 6.0.1 stock (DBT)

- 6.0.1 stock O2 (VIA)

I heard that it could contain that O2 Android-OS. So I tried that too but nothing worked because the reactivation lock is enabled. But I can't boot into the OS to turn it off. Any ideas?

Another edit:

Re-Partition and PIT-File flashed but no changes. I guess it must be some kind of a hardware failure.

need correct version for your model

Mine worked once I realised my model was actually an SM-901F. After I downloaded files for this model, it worked fine.

I installed TWRP and linage verisons for this model which worked!

Not sure if that is exactly your prob. When your phone is stuck on booting screen check the model number. My original OS said G900F but in reality it was a G901F.

I hope this can be of some help.
