[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kn0ck0ut:
-Phone model: Samsung Galaxy Note 4

-Rooted.

-USB debuging was active before the problem.

-TWRP is installed. version 3.0.2-0.

-rom is stock android forgot the version.

-I know the encryption key.

I have been searching since all day and couldnt find the solution. There are some similar issues on the forum but didnt work.

Here is the summary of the story. I encrypted the phone and due to the lack of performance wanted to take the encryption off (decrypt it). For some reason decryption didnt end even after 15 hours. It was obvious that there was a problem and I faced with the end.

It says "Device memory damaged.The data partition has been corrupted. You need to reset your device to factory defaults. "

when I open in recovery mode TWRP it says

Failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)

Unable to recreate /data/media folder.

Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps

When I tried to wipe only system data it also gives the same error.

What I have found so far?

Most of the methods includes wiping before getting backup. However I know the encryption key and I want to recover my files.

Most of the topics also says there is no way to recover this data, but until this day whenever someone said its not recoverable I always found a way to recover. This is linux and I believe there should be a way to recover this data since I have a encryption key. It shouldnt be that hard. My files are inside internal memory.

Any ideas guys ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 0siribix:
Phone has been running fine for months, then all of a sudden, it won't boot. Wife said she hasn't dropped it or anything. It is an SCH-i545 with the latest PhoenixROM.

When I turn it on, it briefly shows 'Samsung Galaxy S4', then that disappears and left with a blank black screen from which I can't reboot or shut off without taking out the battery. If I try download mode, I get the warning screen but it goes black before I can hit VolUp to continue. If i try recovery, I see the blue recovery starting text but then the screen goes black. Also, if I plug in the charging cable with battery out, then insert the battery, it won't turn on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Graymayre:
My phone did this. All efforts to get it to boot were futile. Samsung, and then dark. And then just never booted again. Even trying to charge it, the charging screen never showed. Not a vibrate or anything, I even shined a flashlight on the LCD to see if maybe the backlight just died, and again nothing. That was 4 months ago, and today for ****s and giggles I plugged it into my Anker battery to charge and the charging screen came up!!!!! I let it fully charge and then booted the phone and it works again!!!!

Now I just have to fix the screwup I did a long time ago with the radio, I did the "Golden Backup" improperly and my radio quit working on CDMA altogether. No documentation to be found, even Samsung upper tier support has no idea how to resolve it or even what the hell I'm talking about. I'm guessing there is no support but maybe flashing a modem will resolve it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Killa8:
Same radio issue, I get no signal on the phone, just a circle with a diagonal line inside

This is sick
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Graymayre:
If you can get it to boot into fastboot, just reflash the full OEM rom which should include the modem image
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysa50:
Hello everybody i just post this to ask this simple question: why are there so few roms for this tablet?

Developers/users are not interested by this device or is it just a matter of time. Forums are not really active , this is not a reproach but i try to understand the situation. Maybe someone developing could explain that to me.

Coming from a nexus 7 2013 this is really confusing:(
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lightn1ng:
Well ROMs are only made if the devs have the device. If ROMs aren't made, the devs don't have the device! Simple.

What model do you have?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysa50:
I have t710 model. I know it's harder to developp a rom without the device but some of us are ready for testing if necessary!!! It seems people are not really concerned by the rom they download, they download it but there's no feedback, imo. I guess i'm too used with nexus forums which are more popular and where devs and users are fast for answering and finding a solution. Again i don't want to hurt developers (hard to really express what i want as english is not my native language) i'm just sad that there's not much craze for this device which could be awesome stable cm rom for exemple
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysa50:

First of all, i would like to say thank you for a most excellent forum, and wiki, I just got a O2 XDA 2s, WMP6 went on like a charm, fully working, VERY happy.

Now, a question, whats a good web browsers to use? PIE is ok, but kinda laggy, Opera is good, but i don't want to pay $24, The mobile firefox is just.. bad... any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] HexBox:
IE is just fine...according to me, of course :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mushipkw:
Try Opera Mini, its free and the new beta is a must try.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] veyka:
Thanks for your replays, as i said IE is fine, but, i was looking for something better.

Opera Mini 4 is wonderful, Only thing that bugs me is the text input, but i imagine thats because its for small screened phones.

I do wish flash would work in it, it really bugs me that the best there is is V7, unless i'm wrong?

On another note, is there a free way to set MP3's as ring tones on WM6?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] jdc:
Copy the mp3's to the \windows\rings directory
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mushipkw:
or copy the mp3's to storage card root
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] jdc:
That I wouldn't recommend. It's been my experience that if the phone is in sleep mode, it doesn't 'wake the SD card' quick enough to always be able to access it to pull the files.

More than once, I had a call play the default ring tone vs the mp3 I had set it to use.

Im trying out netfront, it seems good, but it wont play nice with my Wifi's login, and as of yet, i dont have a data plan or anything, and the GPRS wont work on the network its on atm, hopefully changing soon!

Ill give it another go tommorow!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] d.cortez:
how did you solve this problem?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Daemondorran:
Ok, so I recently got my S3 running. It's a temporary phone while I save for a Note 4, but I want to see how it handles Marshmallow and get it fully working on Tracfone's network. The big catch is that my phone's USB port is fairly busted. I can sort of charge with it, but it's flaky. I have no plans to fix it since this phone isn't going to be my primary for long.

I'm wanting to know if it's possible to go from stock to running CyanogenMod 13 nightly without use of ODIN or anything USB.

I believe the first step will be to get TWRP installed. I found a guide that uses Rashr to do this, but I will need to root my phone without USB first. Will Framaroot work on a i747?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Daemondorran:
Ok, looks like Framaroot doesn't have our i747 listed as a supported device, but I did find this guide that uses Towelroot. I'm going to try that.

http://www.jellydroid.com/2014/07/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-sgh-i747-without-computer/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Daemondorran:
Welp, ran into a snag with Towelroot, gives me an incompatible error.

Did some searching and found "Towelroot will only work for NE6 firmware on the I747M. The exploit it uses was patched in NF1/NF2.

you can try cf autoroot, or just flash recovery then flash SuperSU." -DocHoliday77

Anyone know any other non-USB rooting options? I believe my firmware is NJ2.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Daemondorran:
Ok, I have a theory. I'm new to the Android world, but what if we treat my phone like it's bricked and can't use ODIN. Could I use the default recovery to flash the phone over to NE6 stock build, then use Towelroot to root it, then use Flashify or Rashr or something of the like to install TWRP? I know it's a bit of a run around, but it seems like a path forward.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Daemondorran:
Hm, no. It seems the unbricking process is dependant on ODIN. So I guess if I care enough to do this I need to solder a new port on. :/

The odd thing is that my phone will charge through a "dumb" charger, it's just an older LG charger, but on the smancy Samsung chargers or my PC it won't even try. I suspect it's because the LG charger just provides power while the Samsung ones do some talking first.

If not, check if you can go to recovery.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Shebee:
Requirements:

Tasker

AutoInput (paid version)

(tested on Nexus 5x)

I never used the volume controls unless I was listening to music so I decided to get creative with tasker.

I've used this profile for a few weeks now and it works very well, there might be some misinterprets (I've had 2 in total) if the phone is lagging heavily (like when casting and playing a video),

but I only encountered this issue once in a few weeks of use (and I've had problems with tasker and lag on other profiles), anyway your mileage might vary depending on your usage.

It also controls headphone and bluetooth volume.

**What it does**:

Reprograms the volume buttons to have a short press and long press function, depending on if media is playing they have different functions (completely customizable).

By default, if media is playing it will control media volume, if it's a long press (and it's playing) it will launch apps. If nothing is playing it will simply launch apps or whatever you want it to do (so that's 4 functions per "is media playing" state).

This is very useful for portait toggle, flashlight or even notifications pull down for those awkward hand position moments to give a few ideas.

**How it works**:

On button down events, it will check if media is playing (every 1.5s at most, this info is used to determine the button action in later if statements), then it will wait for 1.5s (by default),

if the wait is not intercepted by a button up event (short press) within those 1500ms, it will be registered as a long press.

After this comes a bunch of if statements that use the above information to choose the right action (is media playing, was it a long press?).

I'd suggest taking a look at all the tasks and profiles to see how they work, I also added a profile which disables the custom keys (and re-enables the stock function) when a call is active.

These are the main components of this project to make it work if you want to get creative yourself.

(credit goes to the internet/google)

and AutoInputs key suppress function and key up/down event profile triggers.

**How to set up**:

Import project, use the suppress task to enable key suppression (this must be done once to disable the stock key functions).

You can then tweak the vol up/down tasks to accommodate your needs.

the first set variable %longpressduration should be pretty obvious

scrolling down to the if statements you can change the actions for each event, it can be anything, even other profiles, I'd say sky's the limit but it's tasker in this case :P

I don't know if these things get exported, but make sure the button up events have a higher priority than then down events.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] vickylahkarbytes:
Nice job.

Another alternative for the same functionality is this

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spazedog.xposed.additionsgb
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Shebee:
I updated my link, tweaked the settings a bit.

Nice, will definitely check it out since I've got xposed installed! For those that don't, you can give this project a try.

Edit:after trying it out it seems to respond somewhat faster under certain circumstances, but it doesn't allow to check for media playback. So I guess depending on your needs you night want to use one or the other
[Nexus 4 General] xenyz:
Sorry, ran out of time for now but I'll continue the post soon...
[Nexus 4 General] jer_ying_fd:
If I want to customise the features, do I only comment out the features which I don't need in sema-boot.sh? Thx!
[Nexus 4 General] jolas:
Hi [MENTION=3118524]xenyz[/MENTION],

Thank you for your new kernel, I have to say that I missed using your projects.

Until now I'm testing it and the only cons I found is that with mako_hotplug when (temp increases) 1026 frequency makes mako very unresponsive.

Is there a way to change this frequency through a init.t script?

Thanks for keeping mako alive!
[Nexus 4 General] xenyz:
Sure, or another option is to put your overrides in /system/etc/init.d

Carefully edit /system/etc/thermald.conf either in the installer before flashing, or on your device after flashing, and make your changes near the end of the file.

Can anyone comment on whether their location services are working better? I'm still undecided.
[Nexus 4 General] jer_ying_fd:
With the introduction of the new features of hellspawn r14, will it still work as it is?
[Nexus 4 General] xenyz:
I'm testing it out to make sure it's stable first. At least one change has to be made, turning off the new msm_hotplug which is enabled by default in r14.
[Nexus 4 General] jer_ying_fd:
Ahh of course, I forgot to edit that out....
[Nexus 4 General] ArtOfSnaila:
I've gotten strange behavior after installing the kernel on my Chroma ROM Nexus 4.

The touchscreen began to have bouts of unresponsiveness, when it never had it prior to installation

Extremely slow on wakeup after a long time in sleep mode. Once again, never had that issue before

Overall lag and slowdown that wasn't present on the stock kernel

I've enabled only D2TW, the new I/O scheduler, 1 core active on sleep, Schedule workqueues on awake cores, and ThermalId

Just now, it did a random reboot. Any idea on what the issue could be?
[Nexus 4 General] xenyz:
Could you try it without changing any settings? Force stop the kernel app and reboot.

Do you use any Doze modification apps? Greenify aggressive doze?

Was it a reboot or a SystemUI restart? Did you see the Google bootloader logo? If so, send me last_kmsg
[Nexus 4 General] ArtOfSnaila:
Alright, I'll try it without any settings modified.

I do use Aggressive Doze, could that be conflicting with the kernel? It never seemed to affect the stock kernel besides making the wake take a bit longer, but no lag afterwards.

It was a complete reboot, with the Google logo and everything. Here's the last_kmsg.
[Nexus 4 General] xenyz:
I have noticed some erratic behaviour when modifying doze settings. My best guess is that there are certain assumptions made in Marshmallow as to when the device will be in Doze mode, and changing them can have unintended consequences.

That is strange, the reboot was caused by a restart to recovery request. If it happens again, grab another last_kmsg?
[Nexus 4 General] ArtOfSnaila:
Ah crap, about the last.kmsg, I think I know what happened. To pull the .txt file I had to reboot into recovery and use terminal to mount /system and then pull it. It might've pulled data off of that restart.

Currently using the phone with no kernel app active, and it's doing fine. I'll keep you posted if weird stuff happens.

Another thing I noticed is that when I plugged in the charger, the phone would slow down a lot.
[Nexus 4 General] jolas:
Maybe it had to do with hotplug settings (I used to have similar problems until I modified thermald.conf settings)
[Nexus 4 General] xenyz:
That's likely because of the thermal throttle when the battery gets warm. Keep in mind this is actually good for your battery, although annoying when it slows down.

I'm thinking about raising the threshold just a bit in the next release.
[Nexus 4 General] jolas:
I found the following changes to accomplish best my needs (snappier phone with average temp) :)
[Nexus 4 General] xenyz:
Cool. Er, warm. Eh, whatever. :)

What's your battery temps whilst charging? This is my main concern and where throttle is necessary.

source

I know it's likely not that useful for those of us with original batteries on older devices, but I try to treat it as best I can.
[Nexus 4 General] jolas:
Charging with screen on, battery temp around 40°C
[Nexus 4 General] ArtOfSnaila:
After more than 24 hours of usage without kernel manager, it ran fine, until it started throttling for some reason. Turns out somehow, the max clock speed was locked to 1000 or so Mhz. I don't know if that was the kernel or the app misbehaving, but I ended up having to reactivate the kernel app to set the clock speed back to normal

There was another spontaneous reboot, here's the last.kmsg.
[Nexus 4 General] xenyz:
Thanks for the log. I had a similar reboot but with r14, something in the wakeup_reasons code. I'll have a look through spezi77s commits in kernel/power and see if I can spot something.

I haven't had one reboot in a month or so of using r13, so it's quite strange that you had one so soon, after 24h.

As for the throttle, keep an eye on your battery temperature in Kernel Auditor or whatever and see if it's higher than 40 degrees when you get the 1 GHz max freq.

Edit: I discovered at least one bug in r2 wrt the PowerHal touch boost spam. I'm thinking of posting r14mod3 but I'm not certain r14 is stable yet (see main kernel thread)...

also note once you change your externalsd to adoptable storage the it wont show up on your pc when you connect your phone to pc via usb

also note while you are converting to adoptable or back to external storage it does take sometime don't force reboot your device else your sd card would get corrupted
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] afuller42:
It's actually internal storage that won't show up on PC after, it weird that way, you'll see the card just fine. In twrp you still see both though when connecting.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] SacredDeviL666:
yeah i know its a downer for me because if i want to move files to sd card it doesn't happen transfer it to internal then to external within your phone

that beats the purpose of usb cable i might as well use airdroid lol

Works other way around for me, SD shows up fine on USB, internal does not.
