[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Papa Z:
As the only possible solution I have not tried, I will attempt to randomly press/long press the home button as it boots and then boot recovery..... lol

What's even weirder is it worked fine with AICP lollipop just about a month ago, before i had done anything to it. but I repeated all the things i did to it on another s3 and that one still worked fine with lollipop roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Papa Z:
I used that same unroooted Odin rom on a bad esn s3 and it works fine with lollipop roms. So strange

Edit: no idea what symlinks are
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DavidovDI:
I have similar probl.

After 4 months with CM12.1 I'm flashing NJ2 and upd. to OH1.

After THAT - I cant to flash anything ROM lollipop and higher.

I dont know, what is it.

I was waiting for 4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, a day!

I dont know, I dislike TW roms, help anyone!

CyanogenMod 13.0 D2SPR

...I dunno, wanna start from scratch?

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-sprint/development/rom-d2spr-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3248561

- Use the Sprint-made TWRP .img in the OP with Flashify (from the Play Store)

- Flash a CM 13, add GApps (from OpenGApps), and a recent SuperSU.

I'm a bit of a half-no0b, so I may be talking out me pants.

Bonne chance!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] HouseHG:
I had the same problem. Try this. It worked for me today.

I have a d2spr (originally from sprint). It is now activated with boost. L710VPUDOH1 bootloader and baseband. CF-Auto-Root-d2spr-d2spr-sphl710.tar.md5 flashed with odin for root. twrp-2.8.7.0-d2spr.img.tar.md5 flashed with odin as recovery. I backed up Apn's with "APN Backup & Restore" app. I wiped system, cache, dalvik, data. Flashed cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K7-d2spr.zip... . Flashed pa_gapps-modular-full-5.1-20150315-signed.zip. I Wiped Dalvik. The device booted smoothly within approximately 7 minutes. I had full function as far as I could tell. Everything worked well. Ran this setup for about a month. I decided to restore a stock w/root backup made with twrp2870. Bootlooped until I learned to wipe internal sd when going back to 4.4.2. I wiped the internal sd and successfully booted stock w/root backup. When I tried to go back to cm 12.1 backup, I ran into the same problem... boot loop for hours. Multiple times. Backups and different nightly zips. I found and flashed every custom recovery I could find for this device to try to make it work. Eventually... while I had twrp-2.8.7.2-d2spr.img as my recovery (not sure if it makes a difference or not). I found this...

(apparently the link is not allowed due to my lack of posts with this forum)

im pasting from another page at this point...

Ha! Got it! Visited the #cyanogenmod channel on freenode irc and there were some VERY helpful people there. So I've got a few instructions.

Flash the latest TWRP recovery via ODIN. (2.8.7.0-d2spr at the time of writing).

Flash your CM 12 zip file

On your PC (with adb installed) run the command "adb shell dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist of=/sdcard/persist.img"

Then run "adb pull /sdcard/persist.img" (This will give you a backup of the persist partition in case anything goes wrong)

Run the command "mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist"

Run the command "adb reboot"

If it boots into OS, great! Reboot into recovery and install the lastest gapps package.

I did it from adb in a Cygwin64 Terminal. The device booted my cm12.1 backup the first time I tried. I think it would work just as well with adb from a windows command prompt. I only found this on another page. Credit goes to someone from "#cyanogenmod channel on freenode irc". Hope it is as much help to all of you as it was to me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Papa Z:
I flashed mine back to stock and sold it.... got a good deal on an S5 and flashed MOAR to it.

I found this thread a while back and attempted to do what it says to do, but I couldn't get it to work for me. What exactly does running those commands do that suddenly makes it work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] h4704226017:
I think it either reformats or converts the persist partition to ext4. I'm not 100% sure yet bc I haven't had time to look into it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Asymptot3:
I get an error message at this point . "mke2fs not recognized as internal or external command. Any idea how to get thru this?:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] HouseHG:
Fron where did you run the command?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Asymptot3:
Windows cmd. ran as admin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] HouseHG:
X

I had twrp2.8.7.0. As long as you have a custom recovery i think it should work. Boot into recovery. Then connect to pc w usb cable. Make sure you have adb and drivers installed on your pc. In windows cmd type:

adb usb

Then

adb devices

Make sure it displays your device, and then type

adb root

adb shell

mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fjhus16:
So I was trying to go back to stock sense (using the correct twrp back up (2.10.401.1*) found on http://xdaforums.com/one-m9/general/stock-nand-backup-ota-update-collection-t3132698) from viperonem9 3.5.0 on my one m9 with unlocked bootloader, root but no s-off (HTC__031). It got stuck at 1% and stayed there for ~15 minutes, so I rebooted it using power + vol up/down (I'm not sure which one worked as I tried both). Now I'm stuck without twrp (get the exclamation screen instead, and using power + vol up I get the android system recovery <3e> screen). I tried everything I can, but I'm now stuck. I've been searching a solution for over an hour now. Help plz xda, you're my last hope.

EDIT: I solved it! Seems like I didn't have all the needed drivers (even though I have been able to flash twrp and viperonem9 on this same pc), I got them thanks to the htc one m9 toolkit. After that I tried flashing twrp in the bootloader, and guess what, it worked!
[Mogul, XV6800 General] jtlonthewestside:
This is a shot in the dark, but has anyone heard of anyone who got the mogul to work as an access point? Basically, use the evdo radio to connect to the internet, and use the wireless connection, either as an adhoc connection, or preferably as a full on access point with wpa2 to share to a laptop, other devices, etc. To better describe this, you can kind of do it with a laptop:

1. connect phone via ics or dun to laptop.

2. in windows, enable ics and create ah-hoc network with encryption.

3. Other laptop connects to windows laptop, gets wireless connection and is effectively using the phone as an access point.

Even better

1. Connect phone via dun to linux laptop.

2. Linux laptop (using madwifi driver or other open source) broadcasts access point settiings and works as a full on access point.

Scenario:

I want to be able to connect my mogul to my n800. I can do that now with DUN, but what if I want to use my bluetooth headphones, or the bluetooth keyboard that I haven't bought yet? Bluetooth only allows one connection at a time, so I'm SOL. If I could get my stupid mogul to work as an access point, then I could share my connection with any wireless device (how sick would that be) and reserve bluetooth for what I wanted to really do with it, not just browsing the net. Don't get me wrong, I love that I can even sync via bluetooth, but am just looking to expand the possibilties. Unfortunately, since this is WM6, I have no idea how to really work the SDK to see if network bridging is possible. If this were a Linux phone I'd probably be done already. =(

[Mogul, XV6800 General] Dishe:
Ummm... I'm not sure what you are basing your Bluetooth information on, but the BT specification allows for up to 8 concurrent connections at once- one master devices and 7 slaves. Why do you think its only one at a time?

I use multiple connections all the time- Very often I have my phone connected to my bluetooth GPS receiver in the car, and at the same time I'm playing tunes from the same phone over my A2DP compatible car stereo... or, take a phone call on my BT headset, and all the while I'm still connected to the GPS who is still tracking my location using bluetooth. I can tell the person where I am in real-time.

I've also had someone send me a file while talking on the phone via BT headset.

You don't need such a complicated solution for your imagined problem! I don't see any reason you can't tether it and still connect to up to 7 more Bluetooth devices at the same time!

Still, using it as an access point might prove useful for other sorts of scenarios (teleconnected mobile Lan parties? WiFi on a Bus? The incredible moving hotspot?), but you don't need it... at least not for your described scenario!

Basides, you'll get better battery life out of your connected devices if just using BT instead of WiFi!
[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ethelwald:
Hello,

I´m from Chile, and I´m really struggling with a serious problem. I got the XT1225, rooted and with SU, and I was with the stock firmware, but, with no reason, the screen stopped working. I was able to load and power the cell, but then, sometimes when the screen was locked, it won´t turn on. If I press the volumes buttons, it make a sound, but the screen doesn´t work. After a reboot, it works fine for a few minutes, but then, the same problem.

I thought that I messed some files, so I did a full wipe/factory reset, wipe system, and then installed the last Resurrection Remix ROM, but the problem persist. I can´t use it, I heard the sound from email or messages, but the screen just won´t turn on.

Please help!

Because this happened to me in differents roms, I don´t think this could be a software issue.

PS: Sorry for my English, I´m an spanish speaker.
[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ethelwald:
Any help?
[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Horak:
Based on what you've said, I'd agree that it doesn't seem like software, as long as you aren't flashing something similar with each ROM, like your favorite custom kernel or a specific mod. If you are consistently flashing something like that, stop and just flash the ROM. I doubt different gapps would do anything, since you had this issue on the stock build. You can try to revert back to complete stock, but I don't know if that will help. Still, its probably worth doing. Most likely, you have bad hardware, and that phone has to go out for repair (Unless you wanna try it yourself).

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mooseh:
There has been a lot of users noting a significant decrease in battery life running 6.0.1, this could be due to the fact that the doze feature doesn't seem to work in that update, and all you really get in return is some emoji's and a camera shortcut (which wouldn't really work with MXP given where the power button is anyway). 6.0.0 is fine to be honest.

[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] specialveloce:
Does anybody experienced an offset in audio balance on the output jack ?

My problem is the right channel sound is siqnificantly lower then the left. And no i'm not deaf :eek:

Now here's the problem. Since i use spotify a lot as premium user, i use the headphone's and need to offset the balance. while the audio level already isn't the highest it gets annoying when i get into the car and wan't to stream thru the BT (which also sometimes drops (turning off wifi helps also)) the audio balance is off.

Have tried a hard reset but restored with backup perhaps that was foolish.

Now i could get the always DAC fix app, havent tried that yet.

But it shouldn't be like that. Is the DAC amplifier shot or ?

Is there really a good reason for people to bring back these old versions back from the grave. I seem to be seeing a bunch of extremely old builds popping back up as recent posts. Are these roms good to try or should we stick with the newer ones because of bugs that have been worked out. To the cooks of these older roms, when you see it pop back up do you see that as a sign you need to work on a new version or are you wondering why people havent moved on? Blagh!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peontikos_Desmos:
Hey wassup. So yesterday I rooted my phone and tried to install CM13 on it. Took a few tries since the rom I got was corrupted but I got it to work. Then I noticed it was guzzling the battery like lemonade (this EXACT same thing happened on my previous S4 too) so I gave up on it and decided to revert back to the stock rom. Everything went well... NOT. I downloaded the stock firmware (3gigs... zzz) and I flashed it with Odin and the phone restarted. The little android robot from the default unrooted recovery popped up and it had below it this: "Installing system update..." and then out of the blue it said "Erasing" and it's gear started rotating backwards. THEN, when it finished the normal Samsung Galaxy Note 4 logo popped up, went away and then CAME BACK AGAIN FOR LIKE 500 TIMES AND COUNTING. AOSP roms work just fine, it's just that touchwiz ones won't work whatsoever (even tried sixperience, no luck)... What should I do? I already lost my S4 due to this...
