[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] licensedtoquill:
I had a phone stuck on third SAMSUNG splash screen, so I flashed a stock ROM (successfully) with Odin and either something had destroyed all my data (all data directories were empty) or flashing destroyed all my data. But at least the whole phone (which had been semi-bricked) sprang back to life and starts working properly, going into recov mode and download and was properly recognised by the computer etc.

So i thought I must now see if my Philz backup files contain anything which I can restore to the device. I got the device easily recognised in Odin and flashed Philz successfully onto it.

Now however the phone (starts properly but) wont go into recovery, it gives the blue 'recovery started' on the splash screen and then the screen goes dead.

Even worse, the whole device is no longer recognised by the PC on startup into download mode at all?? And obviously cant be seen in Odin.

Is there any keystroke combination I can try from startup please? I didnt think one could flash so badly that you cant get a WORKING phone into recovery or properly recognised by PC when in download mode!

No amount of removing battery helps, nor does trying to get what recover mode there is (it will very occasionally go into the simple three line one) from batteryless state have any effect, nor can I do all that much with the unit in turned-on state with the SD cards nor do I know how to do anything from download mode with the SD card? Is this even possible?

And the port was working fine before the flash, it was something in the flash which is stopping it from being recognised by the computer AT ALL. Not recognised but with no or improper drivers, nothing happens on the Computer on connecting up to the computer. (same with connecting it up to a WIN10 and LinuxMint computer. Nada.

A TRUE wipe

Going on from my Full wipe thread ( http://androidforums.com/threads/full-wipe-whats-the-big-deal-steps-to-take-15-mins.481696/ ) I was wondering what a Wipe data/Factory reset actually deletes from the device?

I would imagine it deletes /data, but does it remove anything else? Does it clear the root (/) filesystem full stop, or a select few folders?

I would also imagine that flashing a ROM would at least remove the /system folder and possibly a few others in the root prior to installation?

So this leaves potentially lots of untouched folders that will remain lurking indefinitely.

What is safe to remove?

For example, on my root partition I have the following folders:

acct

app-cache

cache (gets wiped in a Wipe Cache process)

config

customkernel

d

data (wiped in factory reset? The dalvik-cache folder is stored within here)

dbdata

dev

efs (very important!!!)

etc (symbolic link to /system/etc)

lib

misc

mnt

proc

res

sbin

sys

system

tmp

vendor

as well as a few files (build.prop and a few *.rc files)

And as for the /sdcard partition, I have LOADS of folders that remain untouched by a factory reset. Does the *# method wipe any these, or any other folders in the root filesystem that a factory reset does not? I think most of these have been lurking around since day 1 and probably a good few could be removed.

Hello everybody. As the question title states I've been facing Invalid IMEI error and NVRAM warning after unbricking a Lenovo K3 Note, it got bricked when flashing a rom without root. Could anyone kindly guide me through the process to fix those errors? I'd like to just flash the firmware through SP Flash Tool but I still couldn't find any ROM that is flashable through SP Flash Tool and that doesn't fixes those two errors.

I've tried IMEI/SN Writer and Maui Tool with no luck, the process stops in the meta mode.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] XdaIIs:
Last thing I say about this off topic here.

Vista is even more eye-candy, so your theory about MAC and it being "too much eye-candy" does not really stand!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] jdc:
OT: Vista, Halo 2, forced 'upgrades'

Why is it for vista only? Because Microsoft wants you to buy their software, and if they can make it so the stuff you want to use is vista only, all the better for them.

As for Halo 2, there are ways to make it run under XP, and I can vouch for the fact that they do work.

How to do it is an exercise for the reader.

And don't hate an environment/OS unless you have actually used it, otherwise you come across as another of the drooling fanboys. ;)

I've used both and I get more work done on a Mac than I do on Windows.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] i00n:
I worked for about year on MACs when I was in school when I wanted to get a techinc status. Their interface does not suit me, I always found it horrible somehow :) please dont hate me for that :P
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] jdc:
But how long ago was that? OS 10 has about as much in common with os 7/8/9 as XP has in common with WfW 3.11 :)

Regardless, I was using 7/8/9 as well and did get more work done.

If the UI is not something you like, then you don't like it, no problems there. I'm not going to try to convert anyone (I use XP, OS 10, and Linux), nor am I going to hate anyone over it. :)

However, I do find your reasoning (too much eye candy) flawed considering vista tries to outdo Apple on the eye candy thing.

Oh, BTW, it's typed Mac. When you do the MAC thing, I immediately think Media Access Control address. :D

Hi

I have successfully rooted my phone and have taken the wpa_supplicant.conf file from my previous phone, I have copied it through adb numerous times and everytime I reboot it is replaced with a blank file.

I tried copying it through twrp which partially worked; the file was full however wifi would not work. I checked and this was because the permissions were set to root:root, I switched it to system:wifi and rebooted. No go the file was replaced with a blank one... at least wifi is working again!

Is there another part of the phone that is checking the file and reverting it? I have trawled google and struggled to find anything similar.

thanks
[HTC One Mini 2] GuestK00204:
you can try to change the owner and group of the file to wifi:

mount -o rw,remount /system
chown wifi:wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
ls -la /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
-rw-rw---- wifi wifi 2343 2016-07-11 10:31 wpa_supplicant.conf
[HTC One Mini 2] horse178:
Thanks, I have just tried this and it also doesn't work. The phone is presently locked to vodafone, and there is always an entry in the replaced supplicant file that is "VodafoneWiFI". Also even though the phone is rooted I have removed the stock facebook app amongst others and everytime I reboot these are replaced like nasty little viruses lol.
[HTC One Mini 2] GuestK00204:
Stock rom will reinstall all stock apps on reboot.

try this

su -c "cat /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf > /storage/sdcard1/wifi-networks.txt"

Make the necessary changes and revert

su -c "cp /storage/sdcard1/wifi-networks.txt /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf"

you should be able to see the info inside the .conf file with any notepad and recover the passwords
[HTC One Mini 2] horse178:
Ahh so there's not much I can do against the stock rom to prevent it from reinstalling apps apart from flashing a custom rom? I suppose the stock rom is replacing the file also? thanks for the above although recovering the passwords isn't my problem I was hoping to have it use the new configuration and not have to put passwords everytime I connect to a network I have been to before.

I was amassing quite the city network lol
[HTC One Mini 2] GuestK00204:

close disable and wont show.

Success! Apparently copy and paste works any ideas why? or that it's just picky? Thanks very much, and I had forgotten disable was possible which will have to do till I s-off and remove it totally.

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Izaya Orihara:
For $150 how is this phone really? I am looking to buy it for my mother who of course doesn't care about specs.

Her current phone is an HTC desire 610(Snapdragon 400, 1 gb ram, and 8 GB storage with a 2040 mah battery) and it is really showing its age.

She doesn't care about the latest updates and likely doesn't notice lag.

For her, this phone would be used for

-Photos out with friends

- Social networking(FB, Instagram, etc etc)

-texting and of course calling

Do you recommend it for a mom?

Also **Is the screen really that fragile**

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kojam:
Gee,

was really hoping to find more thoughts about this phone. I just discovered and was seriously considering picking it up since my Note 4 is DEAD (NO MORE SAMSUNG FOR ME EVER!!! My S3 crapped out and I had to force Samsung to give me another even though my warranty had passed).
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
I just bought one for me last month to replace a Galaxy S4 that went smashy. I'm happy with it. Coming from an S4 the Idol 3 is clearly an inferior device in every category. But it's still a very strong phone, and for $150 you can't really go wrong. When I compared 'darn good phone for $150' to 'massively impressive phone of the gods for $650' I chose the Idol.

The one drawback on the Idol 3 (And Idol 4 / BalckBerry DTEK 50) is the camera for indoor shots. The camera isn't strong in low light. It's okay. It's not awful. But it's not fantastic. For outdoor shots in daylight, it's a fine camera. So if a great camera is a must, the Idol 3 is going to disappoint. If you need a great camera, you might consider the LG4. It's got a STUPIDLY IMPRESSIVE camera and the price on those is dropping fast. It's still more than the Idol 3, but it's almost worth it for the far superior camera.

As for getting Samsung to replace an S3....really? A 4 year old phone conked out on you and you're shocked and ready to give up on Samsung because of it? Seriously? These things are built with a 2 year life expectancy.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I also had Samsung s4, Samsung Note 2, and Nexus 5. I would not say the Idol 3 is inferior in every way, just some. That being said, the lack of bloatware, MM, and a nice screen make up for a lot of its shortcomings.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandypuff:
I've had the phone for more than year and like it a lot. I paid $200 at prerelease. The screen is excellent and not fragile. Get a good case for it and you will be happy. i have a leather folio type case with a cover that closes and protects the screen. the front dual stereo speakers are loud and great for music. Allcatel has been pretty good about O/S updates. The camera isn't great in low light but very good with both photos and video is bright light. You can't really go wrong for the price.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] famewolf:
I would no longer recommend getting an alcatel phone. Period. They have provided 0 support..they in fact have made things even more difficult by taking away features such as fastboot which makes NO sense in a product being sold unlocked with no carrier hooks. The development is minimal and the majority of the devs are working on other devices although they may still provide some idol3 support it won't be a daily thing. Finally the stock rom's for the idol3 have serious deficiencies....you have terrible lag for 5.0.2 and very short screen on time for marshmallow. Additionally occasionally it just flat out has to be rebooted to get things working right or free up memory.

For $150 there are many other options available now...heck I just purchased a refurbished T-mobile LG V10 for $210 and the specs are MUCH better than the idol3. If the $150 price range is important consider the moto g4.

I'm searching an app or script where I can save my rom settings. I'm running ressurection remix rom which has lots of features and it take lots of time to set it up after a clean flash.

I'm searching something like rom settings backup app ( available in playstore) but it's not compatible to oneplus three it seems so.

I've tried titanium backup but it saves all my app and app data. But not the settings of the rom.

I hope someone can give me some advice.

Hey folks,

I just updated from b130 to b340 marshmallow and removing TWRP was a pain in the ass, as I wasn't able to update without stock recovery... Took me hours till I found a working method, as flashing the recovery.img from the official update didn't do nothing...

So long story short, I want to stay with stock recovery now so that I can receive OTA updates and stuff. However, I'm unsure on how to root without TWRP. Stock recovery doesn't seem to have an option to flash the supersu archive, so yeah...

Anyway know a way?

Or you can flash your TWRP recovery in place of your eRecovery, in order to do that follow these:

Boot your phone into bootloader mode.

Once in bootloader mode fire this command to flash TWRP recovery in place of eRecovery.

fastboot flash recovery2 twrp.img

Where twrp.img is the name of your TWRP recovery.
