[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpharrypotter:
hello guys

last night i tried to encrypt my op2 just to see what it is like

unfortunately i found that it is impossible to undo the encryption

firstly i thought thats still ok

however AFTER i tried to flash cm rom ,WHEN it reboot it says that i need to input for pw to boot for device

then i input my pw and it says

"Decryption failed

your password is correct, but your data is damaged"(something like that, it was chinese)

when i flashed back to stock os, there is no problem

then i tried to found ways to get rid of encryption but failed

i also found that i couldn't flash back to stock recovery(using twrp)

and most method seems needed stock recovery to work

i tried both fastboot and flashify but although it shows that my phone download the stock recovery okay

it couldn't boot into the stock recovery

just shows 1+ logo then turn back off and reboot normally

guys plx help i really dont know what to do

Use restore to stock from general thread. It should fix.

Flash OxygenOS then take back up to PC then do that restore to stock.

I have read on many forum about the issue of the external SD being somehow "ejected". People tried every possible solutions, including buying new SD cards, reformatting, etc. I had this issue myself. I did not find any solution neither anyone has found one on other forums. But 2 days ago I did found it.

Everytime you restart your phone, the issue will come back. In order to get rid of the constant notification, here is what I found. It is not a hardware problem (bad connection, etc) neither a software issue as everybody believes.

It is simply that the phone need to scan the SD everytime you restart it. And the notification will continue to come back until you do this.

1) open the notification. This will bring you directly in your SD content.

2) open each folder you have on it. This will make the phone scan it's content. And you have to do it in order to get rid of the notification.

This needs to be done everytime you restart the phone. Once you have done the 2 steps above, your SD content will stay "locked" untill you start the phone again.

I have been a long time member of xda and I did not post for over 2 years. So if my post is not in the right section please do not hesitate to move it to the right section / tread.

Thank you and I really hope this will help a lot of of us.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Juuls:
I noticed with the 'Auto restart' feature (which is under Settings > Backup and reset) that it wipes the information in GSam that was gathered since last charge and GSam also stays disabled until you start the app again. It does not wipe the information in the graph charts section of the app.

When I manually restart my phone this does not happen. So far I haven't noticed other apps having the same issue.

Another thing I noticed is that Galaxy Apps updated itself after this 'Auto restart' even though this isn't supposed to be happening without Wifi active (Set in Play Store) and having the background syncing for Data connection disabled (Set in Settings > Data usage) for this app.

Weird behavior if you ask me so I disabled 'Auto restart' for now. Any one else noticed this?

Hi

I can't remember how but i bricked my tf300t.

Now it's stuck on ASUS (and on top it shows device unlocked i rooted it before and it worked.) screen nothing is responding.

The only thing i managed to do is when i click the rest button with a pin under the sd slot and hold the volume up button i manage to get usb reaction.

i tried several guided here. With installing ADB / Fastboot drivers. I see it on the device manager but ADB/Fastboot showing me that it's waiting for a device or no device found.

I really don't have a lot of knowledge troubleshooting it by my self so i'll be happy to be guided step by step to help me.

Thank's

it is a hardware problem. my replacement unit doesn't have this issue at all with any of my cards.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Christian99:
Thanks

I got my phone on the 11th. Can you tell me when you got your replacement? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] skiddingus:
Can you tell me how long you have had the new phone? I have gone about a day without the notification and I just want to make sure that your new phone has gone several days without the issue. I had my phone replaced already last Saturday and the new phone is doing the same thing as the old phone. If it is actually a hardware problem, I have gotten 2 bad phones. I would hope this is unlikely or Samsung has a big problem on their hands.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mannequin:
my first unit was February build with all kinds of issues: reoccurring SD card notification, poor screen uniformity, audio distortion through headphones when the phone was upside down, too sensitive screen.

the new phone (March build) i got last Wednesday has none of those, zilch.

Are you really sure it's an hardware related issue ?

i also have the same problem...

Well I went to best buy and got a second replacement phone today. I'm at almost 12 hours now without the SD card notifications. Keeping my fingers crossed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] _Gir_:
My notifications have died down after the recent security update on T-Mo. Maybe just a coincidence. It's also encrypted.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] HTCMDA:
restart your phone, bet it comes back
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] skiddingus:
I've restarted it a dozen times. Both notifications always appear after a restart. This is normal. I was getting the notifications randomly throughout the day. Sometimes certain apps would also lose access to the card.

I'm at 20 hours now with no random notifications. It's looking good.

The update didn't seem to help my phone on Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Christian99:
Totally solved for me

I just wanted to update you. I did the procedures as mentioned in the links I posted above.

One of the step involve to "slowly" replace the tray in its position. Ensure you do it.

I did not use my pc adaptor to do my backup on my PC. I used a usb connected to the phone.

One thing though: I had only 14gb of data on my card. I was able to move it all to the phone (as well as the pc) and this brought me to 31gb in my phone. So when I re-formatted my SD using the setting from the phone, I was able to just re-transfer the content on it from the phone without using my pc backup.

It has been 3 days without any fault reading and notification pop-up.

For those who have way more stuff on their SD, I would ensure that you transfer them from the phone on your pc, and not using a SD adaptor directly in your pc. I do not know if this makes a difference, but I would not take the chance. Use the USB adaptor (phone to pc).

Also, I have noticed that all the treads around the web which dealt with the subject (not only on xda) have since a week or more got quiet, which means that the issue is kind of resolved.

Putting back the tray slowly in is one of the KEY procedure to follow. This does mean that the tray is kind of not perfectly designed (hardware issue). So it is a possibility that some of you do have a somehow more sensitive tray. It also means that it may degrade overtime (with the cold, and heat, sun, etc.). This tray should not have been designed with weak material (ie: rubber). It should have been made with hard plastic or something else. This decision may have been made for the waterproofing of the device. However, I believe that they could have sealed it properly using stronger material.

We have a one-year warranty and the summer is coming. If you feel that it degrades overtime, return the device. I would not do so right now as the production lines will not adapt to this problem for a few months. I would say 6+ months.

I hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Christian99:
In your case, I would suggest getting a replacement. See the post I just made. 2 minutes ago.

Good luck to you all.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] skiddingus:
The update didn't help but the 2nd new phone seems to have fixed the problem. I'm over 24 hours now with a notification. I think it is finally fixed. I still can't believe that I had 2 bad phones in a row but it appears to be what the problem was.

Okay so a couple of days ago I had an issue when my device bricked but I managed to bring it back to life (thread for reference http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/help/bricked-z5-t3338860).

I'm now having a new problem. Since updating to MM my cameras don't work, front and back. The stock camera app just FC straight away, the Cyanogen camera app opens but it's just black with all the buttons on top, snapchat has a black screen too. I've tried 3 different stock MM FTFs, I've tried the slimstock rom, I've tried the RomAur MM rom. I've tried it rooted and completely stock. I've tried going back down to 5.1.1 with the .200 firmware. I've done fresh installs wiping everything. Nothing. Both of my cameras have just stopped working. If I open the AR Camera app I get a toast notification saying 'Camera not available'. In the service menu it says 'Camera not connected' and secondary camera says "Device does not support this function'.

Any suggestions?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EricCartmanez:
hey there guys,

my z3 keeps restarting itself every now an then, sometimes it's 5 minutes after a reboot sometimes it takes a few hours. Tried everything so far to see if it's software related: flashed concept, mm beta, completely wiped internal storage with flashtool when installing new rom, leaving it completely stock for a few days without root but nothing, also tried another sim card but nothing has helped so far, also in /proc there's no last_kmsg created so everything i found on logs so far was in data/system/dropbox

http://pastebin.com/N5FN078X

this was the only last_kmsg log i found so far maybe someone can find something in this log, would really appreciate any help :highfive::confused:
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nailyk:
Hi,

A few times ago my CyanogenMod also does some 'random reboots'.

The cyanogenmod logo appears but not the sony logo: it was just 'soft' reboot.

You can check this in your dmesg after reboot:

dmesg | tail

The numbers of seconds could give you this information. Then you can dump the dmesg.

Another thing I ran:

logcat > /storage/sdcard1/log

If your phone does a real reboot maybe you can see something. But warning logcat is really verbose so it writes a lot to the sdcard and file can grow fast.

Hope it help and sorry if some words are not the right ones :)

Well, you can change your cpu governor with any cpu control app, you can also try greenify for hibernating your apps, sd maid pro for cleaning up the cache and other stuff.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Coldyh:
As you have root, advise use Adiutor kernel to increase cell performance by setting the governor of GPU and CPU and frequency, even with a custom rom you are subject to the performance of blocking sony trying to avoid overheating (which honestly It serves no purpose with or without blocking heats mt), as the rom AOSGP was based on the stock rom xperia m4 aqua.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rohithath:
Long Post: tried to include more details.

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S4 SCH 1545 16 GB

OS: Lollipop 5.0.1 up to date through OTA updates from Samsung with OF1 kernel build.

Device was Rooted recently

Wanted to upgrade to Marshmallow using latest CWM nightly, mainly to see how the use SD card as internal memory works. The phone's internal memory was running out and I could not move a lot of apps to the SD card.

Steps Done: Developer mode--> USB Debugging and Unkown sources install checked

1. Root using KingRoot and check root access using Root checker basic. Everything looked good.

2.Install ROM Manager, Flash CWM recovery for S4 I 545 and try to backup current ROM: Could not back up current ROM, android recovery loaded up in

3. Back up app data and transfer to SD card using Titanium backup

4. Rolled back to factory reset through android recovery and retried --> Still booted up in android recovery.

5. TWRP and Rashr and re-tried to flash recovery as well --> No Results

6 Decided to roll back firmware using ODIN using the following builds:

1. SCH-I545_MDK_562219_Stock_Restore This was 4.4.2

2. I545VRUGOC1_I545VZWGOC1_VZW: from samx This was one build older than the latest build with the OC1 kernel

Used the following versions of ODIN to try and re flash:

1. Odin3_v3.10.7

2. Odin307

3. Odin3v185

Same result with all of them:

<ID:0/005> NAND Write Start!!

<ID:0/005> FAIL!

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

Now I have a device that I can no longer use and is stuck in ODIN mode

This is the error message that I see:

Software update failed: Your device did not update successfully. USe verizon software repair assistant on a computer.

Need help with to get S4 back to life and best way to install a custom recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlphaTekk:
You can not use CM ROMs on this build or any CWM or SS (SafeStrap) we can ONLY use FF (FlashFire) which, unfortunately, very highly limits our choices of custom ROMs compatible for us!

Go here:

http://www.samsung.com/in/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/

Download Samsung Kies 3, install everything (application, drivers, etc.) and open it.

When it fully loads after opening click on Tools in the top menu then click on Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation.

Just follow the on screen instructions.

Try this to root after you restore from above steps:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/root-of1-t3249971

...and, by what I can tell, the three custom ROMs listed there are all we have a choice of or just stay stock rooted, your choice.

Tell me what happens after.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rohithath:
Thanks AlphaTekk.

I got it working through an Odin reflash:

Run Odin 3.09 as administrator and with compatibility mode for XP SP 3

Use I545VRUGOF1 stock firmware from Sammobile

The end result showed as failed, but still the phone rebooted into stock OS.

Retaining stock OS without root for now.
