[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] 1337Dev:
Forgot to mention but I am going to have to return this phone to T-mobile for a warranty exchange, that's why I was trying to avoid custom rom's thinking it might become ineligible. Want to be able to recover data and then reset the phone for return
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
The phone i wiped the system on was returned via warranty with Tmobile (of course I later reinstalled it via Kies). I would install a custom rom to attempt to get the thing up and running. Once you do that then go from there (back to Kies or factory reset...)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] 1337Dev:
Ok, Thank you! I was worried about the warranty exchange. I will attempt to install a custom rom let's see how it goes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
The purpose of installing the custom rom is to attempt to retrieve your data. If you can boot and then successfully get your data, it would be advisable to remove the custom rom and restore it to factory. Let me know how it goes...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] y2k2r2d2:
Hello another User here , I am in a similar situation . I installed some theme [live] from theme store , then it started acting wierdly. Finally a bad combination of Good Lock , System UI and Safe Mode my phone is in a bootloop.

I want to recover my data mostly videos and pictures. What shall I do. I am unrooted , I can access recovery , adb sideload from recovery , I can get into download mode. Will wipe data option save my Pictures?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
If you've got recovery installed it would be just for that purpose. Restoring your backup (i.e., recovery). I gather you don't have a backup?

What device do you have?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] y2k2r2d2:
G920F International. The Recovery is not a custom one . It is the default recovery that doesn't have backup mode.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Ahh gotcha. Well...if it were me what I'd do is to boot to download mode and flash TWRP custom recovery file using Odin. Once that passes I'd boot into TWRP and do a backup.

You can then reboot into TWRP and try to restore your backup but you'll likely end up in a bootloop again. If that happens...

Then, I'd download a stock recovery (looks like they have your variant here.

I'd then flash the stock recovery using TWRP and then reboot.

If you get stuck in a bootloop again then I would do a factory reset (which doesn't wipe storage which is where your photos etc. are) and then reflash the stock recovery zip file.

I can't say for certain if that'll wipe your photos, etc. or not but I'm not inclined to think it would.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] y2k2r2d2:
Thanks. It will help in the backup.

Will factory reset/wipedata from stock recovery remove the pictures ?

Can you backup data using OTG/pendrive from TWRP recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
factory reset doesn't erase storage data.

Not sure about otg/pendrive
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] y2k2r2d2:
I didn't flash TWRP as I learned that Samsung Pay will never work not even Stock ROM flash. I instead pulled some vital data files from adb pull on 'the window of around 1 minute' each time it was active during safe mode rebooting and thankfully Google Photos had a backup of my Photos and videos.

I used the wipe data option on stock recovery that wiped everything. The device is like new.

[Samsung Gear S] joshuar9476:
I currently have a Sony Smartwatch 3 and have had it for almost a year. I've had my eye on the Gear S for some time and feel like pulling the trigger. I have a few questions if someone has some time.

1. How do you feel like the watch we will be supported going forward? I dont want to buy something the devolper has moved on from.

2. How is the GPS on the watch? The SM3 does ok. I typically have my phone within range but there arw times when I'm away.

3. Is S Health an inferior product on this watch compaired to the S2? If my phone is on my desk but i am walking around, does it track my steps from the watch? I'm using Fit currently.

4. I do not plan on using a seperate cellular plan for this watch. Because of this i assume i can purcahse from any carrier or even with a bad esn. Are the different carrier version different at all? Likewise, can i use my watch to answer and talk through the watch while connected to my phone or will that feature only work for those watches with a separate plan?

5. I've seen some metal bands here and there. Are they homemade ones or have the metal bands evolved enough over time. I have the rubber clasp band on my SM3 and I'm always catching it on something.

Thank you.
[Samsung Gear S] verszipo:
I will try to answer to some of your questions.

1. sadly Samsung is known to stop supporting devices relatively soon, and also taking into account that the S2 has been released it's probably not long before they won't give any updates for the S

2. i didn't try the GPS from the watch (while it's connected to the phone it will use the phone's GPS, this can be useful or a nuisance, depending on what you want :) )

3. Don't know how SHealth works on S2, but on S while the watch is connected to the phone it will use the watch's measurement (you can change it if you want), so you can leave the phone wherever you want and SHealth will take the step count from the watch.

Btw, from what I've seen this feature works even if the phone-watch are out of the blue-tooth range, it will simply update the count when the blue-tooth is reconnected.

4. the main difference between the versions is what kind of cellular bands they support, and if i remember correctly there's an "WiFi only" version too. If you will only use the blue-tooth and WiFi connections then it doesn't matter which version you'll buy since those are the same on all the versions.

5. i didn't see any "real" metal bands for S, only some homemade ones, i don't think Samsung released any other type of bands than the one that the watch comes with.

As a note for 1., Biktor_GJ is working on porting the full android to the GearS. He also said that he will try to port the Android Wear, but it might not work since he had some trouble with the video drivers.
[Samsung Gear S] joshuar9476:
Thank you for your input. I'll be honest, I do enjoy AW and it seems as if Google Fit has finally got their act together. I guess I really need to put one on my wrists and go from there. If anyone else has any input feel free to add it.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiscreetMooseX:
My problem is a bit weird. I've been using Wind Mobile in Canada for quite a while, and I've never had a problem with it. I went to India for a month (left my Wind Mobile SIM at home), and when I came back, my phone would connect to Wind Mobile for a few days, and then disconnect for a few days. And when I tried to reconnect to it, it would say cannot connect to network right now, try again later. No other users in my area had this issue. I carried out the following"

I went into TWRP>advanced wipe>checked off everything and wiped everything (USB-OTG failed, but I don't think there is anything to wipe there).

Flashed stock CM12.1 as per this guide http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541 - Except I did not carry reset the tamper/lock the bootloader

Still could not connect to Wind Mobile. It would sometimes let me connect to "Wind Away", and other networks, just not "Wind Home," which is the one I'm supposed to be on.

Flashed TWRP because I forgot to do so earlier. Not sure if relevant. Still could not connect to Wind Mobile. It still let me connect to Wind Away, and other networks sometimes.

Plugged my SIM into my friend's OPO, and it worked!! Plugged his into mine, and it did not work

Fiddled around in the "phone info" menu that comes up after dialing *#*#4636#*#*

Now I can't even see Wind Home or Wind Away when I search in Network Operators. But it still lets me connect to Telus and Rogers. I even received text messages after connecting.. So I'm guessing I ****ed something up in the *#*#4636#*#* menu that prevents me from finding Wind network under network operators.

My Current Build:

CM 12.1.1-YOG7DAS2K1

Kernel 3.4.67-cyanogenmod-g022-ae3

Thanks for your time
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] paulrhyan:
I have a T-Mobile Galaxie S4 purchased around fall of 2013. After the warranty expired I chose to root and go with a custom ROM. Until yesterday I was running Cyanogenmod 10.2.1. When I purchased the phone I was living in an area with pretty good T-Mobile coverage. A couple months ago I relocated to an area that has virtually no T-Mobile coverage. I have decided to try AT&T and requested an unlock code which I received from T-Mobile customer service. When I tried to unlock I learned that you can't unlock with a custom ROM and I had to revert to stock.

After looking here and elsewhere I am under the assumption that the process should have been pretty straight forward.

1. Download Odin... CHECK! I found Odin3 v3.10.7

2. Download stock ROM... CHECK! I went to SamMobile.com and downloaded the firmware for SGH-M919. The file name is: M919UVUEMK2_M919TMBEMK2_M919UVUEMK2_HOME.tar.md5 and also has a SS_DL.dll file as well. I extracted both of those files to the same folder.

3. Turn off phone.

4. Hold Vol. UP, Home and Power button to boot into Download Mode.

5. Start Odin.

6. Connect phone via USB to my Win10 Laptop.

7. Wait for ID:COM box to turn blue.

8. Click the AP button and load M919UVUEMK2_M919TMBEMK2_M919UVUEMK2_HOME.tar.md5. It takes several seconds for this file to load and Odin will briefly go into a "NOT RESPONDING" state. Eventually the status will read: <OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully.. <OSM> Leave CS..

9. Make sure Re-Partition is UNCHECKED

10. Click START

This is where it all went south. The first try failed almost instantly. I closed Odin and re-opened it. It opened and saw the phone right away. I re-loaded the ROM file, unchecked Re-Partition and tried again. After several seconds I noticed what I thought was a blue status bar beginning to grow on my phone. After more than twenty minutes the alleged blue status bar was only about 1/32 of an inch and it didn't seem to be growing. I don't remember what Odin displayed. After several more minutes it seemed obvious that nothing was happening. I probably aggravated the situation when I closed Odin, disconnected USB and shut down the PC and tried to shut down the phone. The phone only boots into: Firmware upgrade encounted an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.

I saw this thread: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/help/help-firmware-upgrade-encountered-issue-t3094121 but it hasn't helped. I can't really get into Download mode right now. Even after removing the battery.

I also downloaded Kies but Kies does not connect to the phone.

If anyone is able to help me I would be grateful. Please type s-l-o-w-l-y as I am in uncharted waters here. My only goal really is to get back to stock so I can unlock and then give AT&T a try.

Thanks,

PR

UPDATE:

Issue resolved. I used Odin to flash M919UVUFOK3_M919TMBFOK3_M919UVUFOK3_HOME.tar.md5 and phone is back. I need to start another thread now because I can't get the ServiceMode to work for unlocking.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwaggerDaddy:
I've had that exact same issue, try formatting all data (except recovery) and then try with Odin again, if it fails, try adb pushing a ROM, hope it works like it did with me :), also if you didn't wipe your app data and you still want it, make a nandroid so when your on stock firmware, you can extract from nandroid and get back all apps :)

Hi, I have the same problem with LG G4 that has described a user in another forum.

---Hello, my G4 has a problem in volume. When watching videos or listening to music,

I turn up the volume and suddenly it starts to go down alone and is very quietly sound.

It may even be a problem in speaker / speaker or sound card (???), since both video or music,

or any media to be played in any audio application starts ringing with the sound normal, high,

but in less than 5 seconds it is extremely low. They know of something similar ?? Thank you!

I installed lollipop and audio functions normally.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoisonWolf:
Hi folks,

I'm not sure what is causing this. But my OPO seems to freeze sporadically after unlocking the phone. I'll swipe my pattern, the home screen will appear, then only the on-screen back button will appear (the home and right-most button will not appear). At this point, the phone is completely unresponsive, or rather maybe the touchscreen panel is no longer registering any inputs on my part. The screen would still time-out normally. However, pressing the power button will not wake it up, and the only way to recover the phone will be to long-press the power button until it reboots.

The frustrating thing about this is that it happens intermittently. I can never predict when it will occur, or what triggers it.

Can anyone provide any insight on how to fix this?

I'm running a completely stock OPO. Version 5.1.1. COS version 12.1 YOG4PAS3JL.

Thank you in advance!

Hi there,

using the flashtool I am able to flash new recoveries but not the complete roms because of a timing bug:

connecting the XM via cable / vol down the device is recognized as flash mode.

Exactly after one minute the flash mode is terminating by itself - and this is to short to flash a new rom (neither the preparation of the files has been finished).

=> anybody a solution for my issue?

=> has someone a dl link for the 4.3 stock rom (15.4.A.1.9-CE) as a zip? Zip files could be used, but no ftf flash files :(

If I wait for the connection of the XM until flashtool says "connect in flash mode" then an "ERROR flashing - aborted" occurs. Why?

The BL was unlocked directly before the error-flashing...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdk20:
Hello Everyone,

I need some help restoring whats app msgs which are a couple of days old.I own a Samsung S4 mini.

I got my phone un-rooted and flashed the samsung stock ROM(Android version 4.4.2)

My internal SD card got formatted due to this. But I had taken a google drive back up as well as a local back up of the Database folder of my whats app on my PC before flashing the ROM.

On flashing the ROM, I installed the latest whats app version 2.12.449 .I tried to restore my msgs from the google drive back up but wasnt able to no matter what I did. It failed everytime. I skipped restoring the back up and my google drive back up got overwritten with only the new msgs.

I uninstalled and re-installed whats app.

While restoring the only option it gave me was to restore it using the backup on google drive (overwritten one) which was pointless. So,I tried doing the below steps mentioned in the Whats App FAQs to manually restore a local back up which was a day old.

-

To restore a less recent local backup

Your phone will store up to the last 7 days worth of local backup files (Google Drive will only have the most recent). If you wish to restore a local backup which is not the most recent, you will need to do the following:

Download a file manager. Here are some choices: File Managers and Explorers.

In the File Manager, navigate to sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases. If your data is not stored on the SD card, you may see internal storage or main storage instead of sdcard.

Rename the backup file you wish to restore from msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt8 to msgstore.db.crypt8.

Uninstall WhatsApp.

Install WhatsApp.

Tap Restore when asked.

This dint help either :( . It simply doesnt detect the local backup on my internal SD card. It only restored the back up on my google drive by default. Also there is no option to choose whether to restore back up from your SD card or google drive.

I have tried searching all the forums to find a solution to the above problem but couldn't :'(

Is there any way to resolve this issue apart from installing the message extractor on your PC and decoding the DB files??
