[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xrasec:
I have a GTi890L it started with some resets problems and crashing apps, so decided it was time to flash a new official rom. After doing that nothing change, even worst as by that time it lost efs. So far same problems as before but now no IMEI, baseband and stuff.. That's the moment when I started to think that the problem could be in the flash memory itself. Picked up some pit files for my device and also did a backup of it-- No luck with the pit files that found in the Internet (same behavior) so restored the original file. Then I came up with this thread -> http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/general/how-to-fix-efailed-to-mount-efs-invalid-t2858056 started with this step:

1) mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 it went through

2)mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

This command failed with error can't find /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 in /etc/fstab

on next reset got the no pit screen (like analog tv when there is not signal)

Then tried to load Pit file and got this:

So bottom line its a Dead Phone, I think it was condemned since the beginning and I just make it easier. What you guys think? Faulty emmc memory? Also I was wondering if I can use a GT-I8200 board with the components of my I890L??

I love the fingerprint acanner on the S5 but sometimes it's not easy to swipe your finger or thumb.

Typing in the backup password is not easy either.

Is it possible to get fingerprint and pattern at the same time.

I've searched a lot for it but with no luck.
[Android Software Development] meanhacker:
Hey guys, I have flashed a few devices over time and have accumulated files that I no longer need. Instead of deleting them, I thought that maybe some of you guys may need them in case you get a hold of an older device. I know the pain of not being able to find stock firmware or a specific kernel or ROM when you really need it. The links seem permanent at the time, but they always die and become broken after a few years. I have uploaded everything to Google Drive and will be hosting them. The devices included are:

Chinese I9500 MT6589

HP Veer

HTC Vivid

Infuse 4G I997

LG Optimus L70 MS323

Nexus 10

Galaxy S2 Sprint

Galaxy S3 SGH-I747

Galaxy S4 SGH-M919

SGH-I897 Captivate

Tab 10.1 GT-P7510

Thrive AT100

HP Touchpad

Also some bootanimations

Download

Edit: I noticed that Google marked a lot of the files as "Flagged for Abuse". If you need a specific file or folder, let me know via PM and I will reupload it to another host.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dieseldeeznutz:
Hello. When my device was updated to KitKat, the WiFi stopped turning on. It doesn't fail to connect, it just will not turn on at all. I tried an app called "WiFi Fixer", which didn't work, but in the "Known Issues" section it said this was caused by the "Android framework not interacting with the WiFi driver" and said to flash a custom ROM.

I rooted, installed TWRP, and flashed CM 12.1 successfully. The WiFi still wouldn't turn on. I then decided it was probably a hardware issue that coincidentally showed itself at the same time as the update. So then, I installed Cheetah Mobile launcher, and one of their themes, and was resigned to not having WiFi.

I got bored with the CM theme, and installed the Dark Material theme. At this point the phone started acting buggy, not waking from wakelock, force closing, and randomly rebooting. So i then deleted cache and dalvick cache, and re-flashed from the CM 12.1 zip i had saved on my SD. The bugs would not stop, almost making my phone unusable. The only bright side of this was that my WiFi was turning on and working! I thought maybe the hardware problem had fixed itself somehow, but I still wanted to have a usable phone. I kept re-flashing from the existing CM 12.1 zip, the WiFi kept working, but the buggy behavior wouldn't go away.

I figured that maybe the CM 12.1 zip on my SD was corrupted, so I downloaded another copy from CyanogenMod, installed it on my SD, and erased the old copy. Then, I wiped everything and re-flashed with the new zip. The buggy behavior went away, but WiFi stopped working again! I'm thoroughly confused now.

If it's a hardware issue, why does it come and go with ROMs/ themes? I thought it may be a kernel issue, so I flashed Ktoonsez K747 kernel, which is working fine, but I still don't have WiFi. Did the themes I installed earlier change the kernel in some way to make my WiFi work temporarily? Is there a fix for this? Is it a known problem? I researched the forums but the only answers I found for similar problems were from earlier versions (2013) of Android/ CyanogenMod ROMs.

At this point, I'm willing to give anything a try, I've even opened the phone, inspected, un-plugged, and replugged the WiFi antenna. If it was a hardware issue, would I expect to see any damage, like a fried circuit or something? Is there any test to check if it's hardware vs. software?Can I buy a replacement antenna?

I'm pretty broke and can't afford a new phone, which is why I'm trying to resuscitate this one :) When it works, it's sufficient for my use.

Please help, I really want WiFi back! Thanks in advance for any advice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Full odin back to stock. Best solution.

Get odin here at the bottom of the page. The firmware is there too. If you create a free account the download goes much faster.

Also, re flashing the same cm12.1 over and over won't help. Have you tried the newest nightly? After odin back to stock, if you want cm, use the latest.

If you don't have a pc, you can try flashfire, but I haven't tried it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dieseldeeznutz:
Thanks, I'm downloading it now. Does it matter that this is an older build? I started with L710VPUDOH1, but this download is a previous version, L710VPUDNJ2.

I found this, which has the L710VPUDOH1 build in a zip...

Google > "L710VPUDOH1 opensource samsung" > first result (I'm too new on XDA to post outside links!)

within the zip is Kernel.tar and Platform. tar. which I have done nothing with, as I'm not sure if it's what I need. Do you think I should flash these? or just go with the NJ2 build?

Thank you for your insight, and taking the time to help me!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
No. For many reasons. First, its not the rom, its just the update. No one has made a flashable rom zip. Second, official updates won't flash in custom recovery and it would never flash because you're rooted.

So basically its not the full rom, its the official update zip, just a patch.

Gotta flash a .tar. Unless your on the triband model, nj2 should be fine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dieseldeeznutz:
Flashed back to stock, and updated to OH1 successfully, but still no wifi. It's greyed out and won't turn on :(

I would think it was a hardware problem, except that it all started when my phone updated to 4.4.2. I've found many others with this problem online, but no fixes. Can I flash back to 4.3? or can I flash a new modem/radio(?) file. I thought I saw one in my searches but can't seem to find it now :eek:

Thanks again
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
No, do not try to flash 4.3. You will hard brick, and your phone will be a paperweight. Same thing if you try flashing any pre Knox modems/radios.

Are you flashing something else with this? It's something on your device if a tar flash in odin didn't fix it. Did you factory reset after odin?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dieseldeeznutz:
Yes, I factory reset, cleared all caches, rebooted into safe mode, changed wifi settings in service mode... did an ancient Indian wifi fixing dance, spoke soothingly to it, then cursed at it :laugh: maybe it's a hardware problem with coincidental timing that's also happened the same exact way to other people :eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Lmao, funny. I heard it happening to people a while back. Can't remember what caused or fixed it. Some fixed it with custom kernel but the kernel is waaay outdated now. But it was kt747 by ktoonsez. But its so old. What carrier are you on? Sprint, virgin Mobile, boost?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dieseldeeznutz:
I'm on Sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] skinnykinney:
this just happended to me the other night actually, did you find solution? Apparently just taking out the battery and resetting solved it for a lot of people, but not me. I will tell you what did work though! (keeps randomly doing it again but at least i can gfet it to work aghain even if only for a littlw bit)

First check with root explorer if you have this fike "data\misc\wifi\wpa_supplicant.conf "

I guess it has something to do withthis file, and your android not writing to the right spot, but i honestly have no idea so ill continue. what i did (i saw i didnt have the file either) i dialed *#0011# then hit menu, and then hit wifi, and turned off the bottom switch "wifi power save mode". I exited service menu tried wifi a couple times still same thing, so i went back into service menu and reenabled the switch, then i turned off the phone by pulliung out battery. I logged into my custom recovery and checked out the file explorer in twrp, and voila there that mysery file was! So i cleared dalvick and cache, rebooted into rom, (wicked x v8.2) and attempted wifi and it was working again. so take whatever conclusion youd like but im too tired to keep my eyes open at the moment and good luck, pissed me off cuz wifi was all i had no service, of course
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dieseldeeznutz:
I have that file on my phone. So I understand, you originally didn't have that file, but after doing the steps you listed it magically appears, and then wifi works? I really wish I could get it to work. Also, you said it keeps happening... so the file keeps dissappearing on you? Thanks for the response.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pennywaltz:
I have own my Galaxy S5 since Nov 2014... and I have own my car ('14 Camry) since Dec 2014. The whole time since I own my car, my phone has been paired via Bluetooth with my car. I haven't had any issues until maybe starting a month ago.

Every time my phone connect to my car's bluetooth, Google Play Music starts playing music from my phone (music and ringtones) on my car. This haven't happened before and I haven't changed any settings on my phone or car.

I have tried googling to find a solution to not have my phone play music every time it connects to my car, but I haven't found anything besides "Check the BT settings in both devices". I have looked through the settings both on my car and within google play music and under bluetooth and I don't see anything that indicates playing/stopping music upon connection.

So I am wondering if anyone on XDA have a solution? Unsure if it matters, but I am on kitkat and I am rooted.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTrobby:
I have had my Nexus 6 since April now. I noticed this around August, but every time the phone reaches 4 hours (or around that time, give or take 10 minutes) it will automatically hang up. I thought it wasn't my phone until I tested it, and it has done so when I've called three different phones and reached that point with the exact same result. I am on AT&T's network in the United States using the AT&T branded phone. It happened on Android 5.1.1 and still happens on Android 6.0 (which I updated to by unlocking bootloader, flashing, etc.). I am currently on stock Android 6.0 build number MRA58K. Any suggestions or fixes?

[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
I have a i9063t and apparently it's hard bricked. I won this a couple months ago and it had a problem very annoying of reseting alone all the time, mostly when I was in the middle of something important. I tried to put it back to factory but it didn't fix the problem. So I tried to fix it thinking "This may be a software problem, since it has no official update, I'll put a custom rom in it!" ... Installed Odin, Kies, wiped to factory, put it download mode, connected and chose a rom that apparently worked for this device. Then something happened. Odin just crashed, and my phone it's stuck in the samsung logo. It doesn't go to download mode anymore neither recovery mode! When I turn it on it goes to the logo or the charging animation if it's plugged. Odin doesn't recognize it anymore since it doesn't go to download mode. I'm really desperate for this, is my only phone and I have no money for a new one or technical assistance (will cost me almost a new one) and I really need it (and feel pretty stupid that I've bricked it). I've tried a lot of tutorials but all of them requires download mode. I've also read somewhere that all the bricks may have a solution, some are simple, but some are funky. I really really need help here. This ! is always on top. Anything you may know is helpful, please.
[XDA Assist] Saber:
Hi,

Thanks for using XDA assist.

Unfortunately, when your device can not access the recovery or download mode, your phone may not be able to be repaired by the user. You may be able to use the Emergency Firmware recovery in Kies to restore your phone to stock firmware, that's only if it can detect your device. Maybe a mobile service center can restore it back to life, but they do charge quite a bit depending on where you live.

Alternatively, you can register a XDA account and post in the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum so that someone else may be able to help you out.

Good Luck! - gsstudios

I tried through total commander, and I got an error about no association. Is there a way to actually run a batch file?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] RSkillz:
I think you'll need another solution like MortScript.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] hawk915402:
Batch files seem to be executed on your pc, and goes through the phone via active sync.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] vijay555:
You can run batch scripts on the phone, but they need a batch executer. Natively the phones don't support .bat files etc. So you need something like mortscript, nscript, sk skema etc.

Mortscript is generally recommended. You can manually associate the batch files using gsfinder etc's association functions.

Hi all,

i have a problem with my Microsoft Designer Mouse in combination with my rooted Android 6.0 Google Nexus 5. When i connect my Microsoft Designer Mouse with my Sony Xperia Z2, the performance is great, the mouse movement is just as if i would have connected it to a PC. When i connect the mouse to my Nexus 5 (Root, Franco Kernel, Chainfire SuperSU), the performance is bad. The mouse pointer is slow.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] neonhomer:
I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. I'm trying to help a friend out by doing a little research.

A friend's daughter has a Note 5 on Verizon. (Long story short, friend's ex husband is supposed to pay for daughter's cell phone as part of divorce agreement. He did for a few months and then skipped town. Phone was cut off.) My friend has a phone on Cricket, and was wondering if she could use the Note 5 on Cricket. The local rep tells her that she cannot, that the phones are incompatible with Cricket's network, but I'm wondering if it is just their way of trying to get her to buy a new phone.

It's not a big deal if the Internet part of the phone works (her daughter mostly uses wifi anyway), but the phone part needs to work.

I had the same issue. I do get 4G LtE in some areas but not all the time :(

Also, if you see the carrier it says ATT not Cricket...

UPDATE: My understanding is that ATT/Cricket works in a different LTE band than Verizon. So that might be the issue. Not sure if you can change that in a non-rooted phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] zounduser:
Anyone successfully get LTE working on cricket? My roommates S5 gets LTE, but I'm only getting H+ this sucks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
More than likely it's probably because Verizon's network is CDMA and Crickets network is GSM and they are incompatible with each other. You can check and see if you can switch the bands but I don't know if it's possible to do that on the Verizon phones since they're locked down so tight..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] zounduser:
I actually got it working! This is for anyone that sees this. I entered cricket apn, then I was selecting global, and gsm. I figured those were the 2 that I needed, so I went back and forth between the 2, getting more frustrated! I finally decided screw it, and selected CDMA/LTE and low and behold!!!! The 4GLTE signal popped right up! So it is working, mms too. I'm stoked.

Edit, after further testing, calls will not work while in CDMA mode. Sucks, but I think it was too good to be true. So here's what I came up with.....toggle CDMA/LTE mode, wait for 4GLTE to pop up, once it comes on, toggle back to global mode. 4GLTE will stay enabled, until a call comes in. After your call, H+ will pop in, just toggle the CDMA/LTE, and back to global. This is the only way I've found to have constant LTE.

It seems that to enable the LTE bands, they must be enabled by toggling the CDMA on. Weird but it is what it is, especially with not having root.
