[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Nierven:
Hi guys!

I own a Samsung Galaxy S Wifi 3.6 (Europe version) since december 2012. I actually want to give it a new life (it was my first Android device) by rooting it and maybe installing a custom ROM. While searching on XDA forums, I discovered that thread, I absolutly wanted to test it, and now I'm blocked at step 5: I can't access recovery mode.

The problem is, when I'm holding buttons to access recovery, it simply starts my device launching Android system. I tried like 50 times to access recovery mode. I'm using ODIN, and I was able after that failed try to recover a stock, working system of my Samsung (I can use it, but it is still the same old 2.3.6 Android version).

I want to point that I'm not a newbie in modifying Android devices: I'm playing everyday with my incredible Nexus 7 2013. And I remember that I accessed recovery mode maybe in July-August 2013, before sending my device to the vendor, who fixed it and sended it back to me (so it's still the same device). And if I start a thread rather than writing a new post in previously quoted thread, it is because I think that my device is the only problem.

If anyone can help me, by suggesting something or completly solving my problem, I will just love him. ^^

Thank you in advance!

Did you try: adb reboot recovery?
[Sony Xperia L] xperiajack28:
Today I had rooted my Xperia L C2104. That posed no problem.

Then following the steps given in the official SONY website, I unlocked the bootloader. I just used a command prompt and it

showed that the process was successfully completed.

But now it's stuck in bootloop. I tried to flash

C2104_15.3.A.0.26_India.ftf

to my Xperia L, but Flash just recognizes the firmware as 'Sony Xperia L' and nothing more.

I can't flash it. The phone is still bootlooping.

PLEASE HELP ME. PLEASE.

PS -- I tried to start recovery mode by pressing and holding the volume up and power button together, but it just switches on the bootloop.
[Sony Xperia L] Aenadon:
Please try an FTF of this version:

15.3.A.1.17

This is the newest available for Xperia L. Flash it and tell us if it works
[Sony Xperia L] xperiajack28:
Thanks, mate. That was easy enough. :laugh:

I've been reading and trying this for days with no luck. I've fully unlocked my wizard and I'm now trying to flash to the 318 rom. But I have no clue how to do it. Could someone walk me through ho to do it? Most of the flashing done thus far has been an EXE file or through DOS. I must be missing something simple.

please help

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] omegaboy13:
I followed that one already. That's how I unlocked it. But all step 3.8 says is "your ready to flash...". Right now I don't understand exactly how to flash and I'd prefer not to "trial and error" it.

However, this morning I did open up the Hypercore kitchen and I think I'm on the right track. I'm at work so I can't try anything but I've printed up everything in that thread including all it's links and I'm going to give it a go once I get home. I'll report back once that's done.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] omegaboy13:
Alright, after some more research and reading in the hypercore kitchen thread and all it's links, I think I may have it figured out.

I download and extract the files for the ROM I want, in this case 318 8.1 from theloon.

I then follow the instructions linked int he hypercore thread with dumping, and the pkgtool, buildos, etc.. If followed correctly, my wizard should be flashed with the new rom correct?

A confirmation would be nice. Any other comments you have are a bonus.

Another question though; what's the difference between the programs contained in the SYS and OEM folders compared to the ones in the build OS that i have the select? Aren't the ones in the folders already included in the ROM?

Your help would be greatly appreciated. I don't get confused too easily so as you can imagine i'm quite frustrated. I used to flash new versions and programs to my Razr but it was nothing like this.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mikaarce:
dont get me wrong are you trying to cook your own rom, because hypercore is a kitchen, i suggest you download one of the roms that are made by reputable cooks, like the NBD series, TNT series, paradox, xmr, faria's, ingenetics, octavio's they differ in the apps and costumization included in the os and the builds, so just select download and flash:)

there's an executable file inside the roms once you unzip it and be careful if your using xp or vista
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] omegaboy13:
The only things I've been working with up until this point is BuildOS and nb2nbf. I haven't fully grasped the definition of "cooking" yet; whether it means altering files for my self or if the BuildOS selection list is considered cooking.

I think i was trying to do too much and using a file different from the one being referenced in the tutorial was a bit confusing. So to start, I decided to use Faria's Crossbow and the tutorial that came with it. It was very easy and I was able to flash my Wizard to that ROM without a problem. But the one i really want is Theloon's 318.

So, based off of what I learned last night I figured I just needed to replace the OEM, ROM, and SYS folders that came up when I unzipped Faria's crossbow with the ones from 318. Is this correct? Because I just tried that this morning and I get all the way to the CMD prompt right before it opens nb2nbf and it gives me an error (see attacment). If there's one thing I've learned from all these bricked devices floating around, it's to NEVER proceed when an error occurs.

What does this error mean? How can I fix it? Is my moving of the folders wrong? What am i missing?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] omegaboy13:
just messin around trying to see what tools work, i got another error.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] omegaboy13:
Ok, now I've got a bigger problem. I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. It's actually a lot simpler than I thought. i was just making it more complicated. Ok, I tarted the flash and at about 47%, it gave me a memory reference error. Now my Wizard won't go past the three-color screen and all it shows is my IPL/SPL 3.08. ActiveSync won't detect it, tried hard resetting, turning on while holding camera button, etc. What do i do now?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
Now you start thinking... "Maybe I should have read the stickies on the Upgrading forums... bummer..."

The 3 color screen is called the BootLoader. As long you get that screen, your phone can be recovered. How to recover it?

- Use a Windows XP PC.

- Download Wizard_Love Rom (its somewhere, use google or search the forum, but then again, you wouldn't be having this problems IF you knew how to use the search button!)

- Press and hold CAMERA button and hit the reset, keeping the camera button pressed.

- Connect the Wizard to your pc using the USB cable.

- Start the Wizard_Love RUU utility that comes with it.

- Just press next until it starts flashing the ROM to it.

- Pray for it to finish without touching anything until the RUU says CONGRATULATIONS.

There... your phone is working again.

READ THE STICKIES BEFORE DOING ANYTHING AND USE THE SEARCH!

THIS QUESTION HAS BEEN ANSWERED FOR TOO MANY TIMES ALREADY!!!

PS: Maybe we should create a thread for helping the guys that don't follow stickies or care about the ALREADY info we have here... something like:

- 3 color screen: do this

- different IPL/SPL G3 on a G4 device: you are screwed.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] omegaboy13:
I definately read the stickies over and over again. I've got a stack of printouts sitting in front of me that I've been reading for the past week.

I understand your frustration about questions like this but that's no reason to be rude. I used to be a moderator on pbnation.com so I know exactly how you feel. But the fact of the matter is that I'm not as familiar with these things as you are. I fixed the bootloader issue before I even read your response. i found the answer by re-reading one of my printouts that said the re-flash with official rom. So i did that and it worked. I knew I'd get flamed for posting but since I had already had a thread created, I figured it wouldn't hurt to post updates on my status.

I know how to flash roms now. It's actually quite easy. However, I ran into some issues that I'd like to explain in hopes that you realize I'm not taking advantage of you or not utilizing the tools and stickies.

i was having problems yesterday because of my work computer (I think). When extracting the files from Hypercore, they were not placed where they should have been and the tools wouldn't work properly. An example would be when opening buildOS it would give me the yes or no prompts. An IT friend allowed me to use his non-work laptop to do the exact same thing and I was able to use it without a hitch. The simple tmobile official rom update wouldn't even work on my work computer. So it's not just me.

I knew there was a reason that i couldn't follow it.

Regardless of your approach, I still thank you for your help.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dferreira:
I didn't mean to be rude... sorry about that. Its just that from your post count I thought your were like a newcomer like those that come here all the time, asking the same questions over and over again. Netherless, sorry for "helping" you the way I did.

I will have some tea now to relax :) care to join?

I have an h950 that o upgraded to pr. Im running the all flash mods TMO. 4.7 and a hk cobalt orange. If can get a lg modded launcher or port ui that isnt to far off id like to see the imput or thoughts. Honestly the phones running great i just want to do it out of spite before i upgrade this month. I had moderate success with htc blinkfeed and fb home. So i think a ui based on ours. Should work. Im not a real tech savvy but i can read and troubleshoot. I have no idea what carrier i should use i had a harder time on att h950 now the carrier build seems like it has it all. Let me know your thoughts on flashing or compiling with hk and what is the best but not to far from reason.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Hunais:
Hey thanks for that buddy. The app working. But why is it not working for some app and not for others by default, should be an error right?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] J4B3:
I had the same problem. I have some apps set to a silent notification; I still want to get the pop-up but I don't want to be interrupted. Seems to be a bug in either Samsung's or Google's implementation of the pop-up notification system. If you use the "silent" or no sound option, you won't get a pop-up. They might have tied the event listener to an audio file.

Fix: I downloaded a blank .mp3 and added that to my notification folder. It technically 'plays' a sound and triggers the pop-up. The default or built-in "Silent" doesn't seem to work, but a silent mp3 file works fine :p.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fooughhy:
I am having the same issue, it seems.

Rooted my phone when I got it a year ago, but messed up with the DRM-keys.

Was running some Lollipop stock-ROM until recently, but decided it was time to update.

Flashed the stock 6.0.1 ROM and, from what I can tell, also successfully flashed TWRP 3.0.2. But I've not been able to get into recovery (tried "fastboot boot recovery.img" but I get a completely black screen at that point, although "backlit").

Fastboot has never shown anything (the LED just turned blue, but the screen is completely black, but not "backlight").

Didn't mean to hijack the thread, but it seems we have the same problem.

PS. The phone boots fine, and works as it should.

For those disabling Facebook, do you guys not use Facebook at all?

[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
Biggest battery hog / performance destroyer on the phone is the Facebook crap. You will get MUCH better performance if you just use the Facebook webpage and get rid of anything installed on your phone that is Facebook related. Including messenger.

If you like to use Facebook messenger you can still get to it if you "Request Desktop Site" when using your browser to get to the site.

The apps are REALLY bad. A Major violation of your privacy, a huge waste of cell data, and steel information from all of your other apps, including reading text messages etc. I have done extensive research on them. the first thing I tell everyone when they get a new phone is to kill all of the Facebook stuff before they even set up the phone.

If most people even knew half of the stuff Facebook tracked about you, just by having the app on your phone even if you never log in, they would delete there account, and probably start a class action lawsuit against them.

[Galaxy Note5 General] MonkeyAround:
This is very simple and basic.

Non root (MM only):

Features:

Gps Spoofing (Can be unstable at time)

Joypad (Can soft ban if you move to fast)

If you want non root gps mod just download fly gps from the playstore and you must be on MM.

Set allow mock on fly gps as well.

Fly gps will work but can come with a lot of bugs and can also lead to many soft bans, which can last up to 20-30 minutes.

Open fly gps

set location

run

choose joystick (pokemon)

boot pokemon go

--------------------------------------------------------------

Recommended (LP/MM):

Features:

Auto walk

Stable gps joypad

Stable spoofing

Whats needed:

Root

Xposed

Pokemon go control: (http://dl-xda.xposed.info/modules/com.axndx.prithvee.pokemongocontrols_v7_4a08f3.apk)

No Mock needed

Install apk

check in xposed

reboot

open Pokemon go control

set location (Note: If your going far away from your last log in location ,wait about a half hour to and hour)

IF you do these following your will not be soft ban period!:

Set distance covered to 10

Set auto walk to 1.5

Do not jump from location to location without giving sometime in between:

5 miles away: 5-10 minutes

10 miles away: 10 to 20ish

By doing this they wont notice you spoofing your gps and you will be all good.

Give me thanks :)
