[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] layziebone:
Hi,

I have a N7105 with stock firmware. I have not flashed any ROMS or anything like that on this phone.

I woke up this morning and found the phone on the 'Samsung Galaxy Note 2' boot screen.

I had to take the battery out to turn the phone off.

I booted into recovery mode and all these 'E: Error....' messages popped up.

I clicked on the 'reset data/factory settings option', it asked me to confirm. I selected Yes and more red 'E: Error' messages popped up.

I haven't been in this forum since I owned a Samsung Galaxy S and was flashing 'Darkys ROM' back in the day. So it has been 4-5 years since I last flashed or installed a ROM on a phone.

I need some help please with fixing my N7105. I believe that my only option is to flash a ROM or something via ODIN? Any help/guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaro666:
yes, use odin, flash custom recovery and then install rom with recovery.

I think this is unfortunately SDS
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] layziebone:
Ahh this is so frustrating.

Just tried flashing stock rom again via ODIN and now I am getting this error in Odin..

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaro666:
read about SDS, cuz that's whatchappened to your device for 99%
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] layziebone:
Thanks.

I've done some research and found that the only fix is to take it in for repairs?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaro666:
yes, you have to replace emmc chip on motherboard.

You can try to flash, but as you see and described it points to SDS.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ned4spd8874:
So, I'm liking this phone so far, we switched from tmo and I went from a m8 to this. Two annoyances, first, is there any way at all to dim the soft button lights, only at night? OMG they were bright last night while laying in bed! From what I can find, it's either 100% or totally disabled. I don't mind them during the day, but not at night. That's just stupid to me.

And another, what I think is major annoyance that just happened. It seems Sprint pushed a bunch of apps down to my phone automatically! I went through all my apps to log in and do all the setup stuff and then rebooted my phone. Now all of a sudden, I've got music players, tv players, support chat, etc., all Sprint branded! WTF?!? Are they going to keep doing this? Is there a way to stop this?

And now another thing...

It turns out that I cannot send or receive picture messages while on wifi. Sprint doesn't seem to know why and is blaming my wifi connection. No, that's not it. It's not slow (100+mb), there are no connection limits, my wife can do this just fine on wifi, we could do it before, etc. WTF????

More info, just found that if I turn off WiFi Calling, things work fine. Never had this problem with tmo....

One last update on the mms issue. Looks like I can't send via wifi. I disabled mobile data and still have the problem. So, with Sprint or the S7 you can't send mms messages via wifi? What's up with that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Matstarr:
1. the lights can be shut off with an app called Galaxy Lights not sure they can be dimmed without root

2. Try package disabler pro you can disable all of those Sprint apps and they wont be in your app drawer

3. Not being able to send MMS is 100% the device, It has worked for me on every device Ive ever owned. Try a factory reset just in case something got botched on the intial set up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] shuka325:
Are you using hangouts to try and send mms? If so, try another messaging app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Sim-X:
I like to use mysms as default messaging app, but MMS gets stuck when I use it for default app. I have to go back to stock messaging and it works just fine so something might be borked with 3rd party apps for MMS. Another problem is if you change from the default messaging app, notifications for unread text on the always on display stop working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Nitefall:
Try textra, it has an option for sending/receiving over WiFi, I'm not sure if it works with the always on feature.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ned4spd8874:
1. Yeah, I don't want them off, just dimmed or maybe be able to turn off just at night automatically.

2. I'll look into that one. I'd rather remove them to free up space, but if that's not an option, then this is the next best best.

3. Ug, I literally spend most of the day yesterday configuring all my apps (signing in, settings, notifications, etc.); I really hate to reset and go through all that crap again.

I've tried Hangouts and the Google Messenger app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] LeftyGR:
For your mms issues, call or go to sprint. There may be an issues with hardware or settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Soooperstar:
Try this for the mms. Dial ##72786# then let the phone do its thing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ned4spd8874:
I went to the store today and after an hour and a half of them trying to figure it out and Googling it, they came to conclusion that it cannot be done. Can anyone with an S7 confirm that they can send a picture message over wifi alone or with wifi calling enabled? I don't believe their claims.

Done that a few times now without help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Matstarr:
It does work on wifi alone, I shut my data off and sent a pic out via wifi no issues at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ned4spd8874:
Thanks for verifying, what carrier are you on? I'm assuming Sprint, but want to verify.

I've been chatting with them on Twitter to their Sprint Cares account and they seem to be implying that it's because I'm on Sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Matstarr:
Im also on Sprint
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ned4spd8874:
Thanks so much for testing this! Now It's time to whoop some sprint butt over this!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ned4spd8874:
Well after talking to Sprint again and Samsung, it looks like it's an issue with Google Messages and Hangouts. Using the Samsung texting app, things work as expected. I thought I checked that before, but obviously not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] meyerweb:
Much (but not all) of the Sprint bloatware can be uninstalled, not just disabled. Look at them one by one in the Application manager.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ned4spd8874:
Yeah, I've been able to disable or remove most of it. But there are still a few lingering apps that I can't do either on. Also, they seem to like to push apps down to my phone. Just got something called sprint id the other day (just showed in the notification bar that it was installed). But I don't even see that in my app manager.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] smilemantts:
Has anyone thoroughly tested both and compared?

I haven't used the SW3 but I've been using the Moto 360 Sport for the past week and it's mixed bag. HR monitor seems to work reasonably well, and I like the Moto running app and Moto Body. Battery life, which many people complained about, has also been fine for me.

The main problem for me is the music cutting out regularly when I run (using Plantronics BackBeat Fit headphones). I've tried it on both wrists and that only partially helped. That's one of the killer features of Android Wear for me, otherwise I would just get a Garmin.

So hoping the music will work better for me with the SW3. I have an Xperia Z5 Compact and use the Sony music app so I figure syncing between the SW3 and the Z5 should work well.

My only question on music is since I mostly have FLAC songs on my Z5, and I only want MP3s on the my smartwatch, is there any way to easily transcode the songs as they transfer over from the Z5 to the SW3?

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] stormonya:
1st. download root browser from play store if not already installed.

2nd. copy the two apks to this directory in root browser SYSTEM/APP

3RD. LONG PRESS EACH APK ADN SELECT PERMISSIONS TO RW-R-R IT SHOULD SHOW 0644 AS THE NUMBER IT.

ROOT BROWSER IS THE EASIEST FILE MANAGER TO DO IT WITH SO I SUGGEST THAT FOR YOU.

4TH. REBOOT PHONE.

5TH. THE PHONE SHOULD REBOOT AND SHOULD SAY ITS UPGRADING APPS WHICH WILL BE THE APPS YOU INSTALLED THROUGH THE SYSTEM. BE SURE TO UNINSTALL THE TWO APPS BEFORE STARTING WITH STEP ONE.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] ersincaki:
I will try. Thanks bro.

I could not. Not runing.

Stopped error. You can little record video for this two apk?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] stormonya:
Yes you cab record ....set fps to 60.. Disable recent and back keys and notifications so your game won't get interrupted.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] seventieslord:
By default, in a stock phone, is game tools a system app or not?

I did a lot of messing around to try to make game tools work, including making it a system app, then reversing that decision by erasing all traces of it and doing a fresh install.

It looks like in the fresh install, game launcher installed as a system app, but game tools did not. But maybe that's correct? What do they look like by default?

Hello dear XDA-dev members;

I had a problem this morning with my Wizard. I have a G3 device which i had downgraded to Button ROM for unlocking etc. It was working really fine until this morning. Last night i have turned off the phone radio (wireless and bluetooth was not enabled)and the battery was charged almost at %60.

This morning i woke up, i saw that he was entered in USB recovery mode itself. (the screen with red, green, blue, with my IPL 1.0 / SPL 1.0) , i was terrified because nobody touched my phone. Then i have pushed over power button, it shut-down. I've just waited a few minutes then i've just pushed again over power button, it started with my windows mobile 5 splash screen and showing my ipl/spl. the screen is really bright at this moment but fades out, when he started to fade out, he just shut-down itself.

I've read and searched over the forum, and though that it was my battery which was dead. I've plugged it with wall charger and waited almost one hour, and the charger led was red. I've tried to turn on, he just came on and go over my Today screen! and the charger led turned to green. Almost 45 seconds later the phone turned off itself. I've tried to re-start but it's same. I'm getting windows splash screen, and the screen brightness starts to fade out and the phones shuts down.

I've tested my battery with a volt-meter, i'm getting 4.86 volts. i have also checked power pins inside the phone, i'm also getting power there (4.6 volts) when it's connected with wall-charger, so i think that it's fine.

I have tried to hard reset, pushing communication + voice command button + soft reset button, i had the black screen, he said that it was ok, but same here. I was running with Button rom as i said before. (1.05)

Please help.

if you still can get into bootloader, it should be fine
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] etron45:
It was entered into bootloader mode itself. When i'm trying to start it, the splash screen comes on, it shows WM5 and my IPL/SPL and 20 seconds after, it shut down. I really need help because it's my only phone that i own.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] joihan777:
Have you had your phone more than a year? It may be the battery.

Replacement batteries cost only $5 on ebay or Amazon. Just get a battery so you can be sure that isn't the problem. In any event, you will probably need a new battery so you may as well try this.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] etron45:
I've gone to buy a new battery, but it's the same thing. It just shuts-down irregullary at splash screen, or today screen.

Some faults in memory result in the device needing to soft reset in an attempt to reclaim memory. Perhaps you could try flashing to another rom. I dont own a g3 so I cant really advise you any further.

Mine not exactly like you but automatic bootloader or stuck at IPL screen. It was out of nowhere but thought a bad flash. When trying the hard reset, it would come as "failed".

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ysh232:
I am wanting to root my old Nexus 4 because you can apparently use a USB OTG cable with it once it's rooted? I can't seem to get the damn thing rooted though!

I've been following this tutorial, as the second video is specifically for Mac users.

I've managed to unlock my boot loader, and then try to flash CWM, but whenever i reset my phone, it doesn't boot into CWM, just the normal boot screen. I've followed the video step by step and tried it multiple times, with no success.

I've also tried using these one-click methods (the One-Click ClockworkMod Recovery Toolkit version), and I can boot into CWM recovery, but then whenever I restart my phone, I loose the CWM recovery,

Can anybody help me try to root my Nexus 4 on Mac OS X. I don't mind not rooting if there is another way USB OTG can be used with the Nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fireball0093:
Use TWRP 3.0.0, it's up to date and supported still. The flashing process is the same as CWM: ./fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-0-mako.img Also, to boot into recovery, power off your phone and hold Volume Down+Power and it will boot into the bootloader, then use the volume buttons to select recovery and power button to boot it into recovery. I use OS X so if you need any help just quote me and I'll try to help out

Edit

If you have ADB downloaded as well in the same directory of Fastboot, you can enable USB Debugging under developer options in Settings on your N4. Type /.adb reboot recovery in Terminal whenever you want to boot into recovery, without having to do the above process that I mentioned.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
After flashing recovery, boot directly into recovery after flashing using the volume and power button. Do not reboot the phone before booting into the new recovery. Also, there is no need to power off the phone before booting the new recovery for the first time.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ysh232:
Thanks for the advice. I downloaded TWRP and booted into recovery. I then entered the following into the terminal:

A-MacBook-Pro:RootNexus4 A$ ./fastboot-mac flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-0-mako.img
sending 'recovery' (9122 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.292s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.475s]
finished. total time: 0.767s

I then changed the setting on my N4 from 'Start', to 'Recovery Mode' and pressed the power button. It seems to have booted into TWRP correctly. I then chose to restart phone as normal and got the infinite boot sequence of coloured balls swooping in-between each other...

I'm confused whats going on here...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ysh232:
I've now tried to Reboot (through TWRP, and clicked Bootloader, but TWRP says there is no OS installed. Thats probably why I get the infinite boot loop? How can I re-install the OS? I've downloaded the factory image from Google, but can't flash it...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
You can manually flash each partition to the phone using fastboot commands. This will restore the phone back to stock.

Once the phone is able to boot the stock rom, reinstall twrp, boot into twrp, and flash supersu.
