Someone left the room and turned off the light, and I thought I had set my tablet down on a stable, level surface. Well, one thing led to another, and it fell to the concrete floor, and the power button landed just so and busted. So now I can't turn it off.... Or on, ever again. So I'm desperately making sure it stays charged and on until I figure something out. What can I do? Will NVIDIA fix it? Hopefully not for an arm and a leg?

[SuperSU] crisse78:
Hello,

I have had problems after SuperSU update came to my Samsung Galaxy S7 (international version SM-G930F). My phone was rooted and everything worked fine. Then I got a notification that SuperSU needs to be updated. On my previous phones SuperSU updates have succeeded every time so I presumed updating works without a hassle also with S7.

I accepted to update SuperSU and after a while I got a notification that the update was succesful and I was suggested to reboot the phone so I accepted it and after that the problems started.

After reboot I got an error:"Device memory error: the data partition has been corrupted. You need to reset your device to factory defaults. This will erase all your data". I rebooted several times and also pressed Volume down + Home button + Power button (same as removing the battery as there is no possibility to remove the internal battery of S7) but those actions did not help, always same error after the phone started.

I had backups of my files so I made the factory reset as there was no other option on phone screen than "Reset" (after selecting Reset I had to select factory reset in recovery menu).

After that phone started normally but there has occured three problems:

1. When I want to move an application from phone internal storage to my microSDXC card I go to "Applications" -> "Application Manager" and select an application and go to Storage. After that below "Storage used" I select "Change" and select my external microSDXC card as a new storage location and I get an error:"Not enough storage space" although there is a lot of space in both microSDXC card and also internal memory (someone told this can also refer to internal storage). I have tried this with several applications but always the same error. I have not accepted to use Adaptive Storage (and I think that is disabled in S7).

Before SuperSU update+factory reset I was able to normallly move my applications from internal storage to the external storage (and also from external storage back to internal storage).

2. When I connect my phone S7 to the computer (I have tested with several computers) and I have my microSDXC card in my phone, computer only shows internal storage of my phone, not my microSDCX card. I reformatted microSDXC card (tried both FAT32 and exFAT) but that did not help. I also tried with other memory card that worked fine with other phone (when the other phone is connected to the computer with USB cable both internal and external storage are seen) but same card in S7 did not show in Windows. Reinstalling Samsung S7 USB drivers doesn't help.

3. I cannot root my phone anymore, Odin detects my phone (shows added) but when selecting the required file to AP and clicking Start it goes to Failed status. I downloaded SuperSU and it tells my phone is not rooted.

Any suggestions what to do?

Phone information:

Phone model: Samsung Galaxy S7 international (SM-G930F)

[SuperSU] FlemishDroid:
I wish I could help...in the S7 you have to update SuperSu in TWRP because in SuperSu app it doesn't works. If nothing helps you can install rom again in Odin and start all over or use Superman rom. I have an S7 and I use Superman rom this rom is really amazing it have many options in aroma where you can choose which root (SuperSu 2,68 or SuperSu 2,78 or Phh root for Magisk) and systemless Xposed (86,2 or 86,5 with Magisk) and which kernel (stock kernel, SuperStock kernel, Superman kernel). SuperStock kernel is the best it's stock kernel but with updated Linux and SELinux set to permissive.

I use this rom with systemless Xposed 86,5 (with Magisk) and Phh superuser so AP and Pokémon Go is working. You can also choose which apps to remove and it has an app Superman control where you can change lots of things. The dev is really helpful so maybe give it a go.

Sent from my lightning fast SM-G930F (S7)
[SuperSU] Chainfire:
It is very doubtful SuperSU caused your /data failure. These issues *might* indicate your flash is corrupt.

If anything, I would start with a complete re-flash of the stock firmware for your device, and see if your storage issues persist.

As for your ODIN issue, try using a different version of ODIN, different USB ports, even a different computer.
[SuperSU] crisse78:
Hello.

Many thanks, flashing the stock firmware helped.

Best regards Christian
[SuperSU] scottgr77:
Thanks so much for directing me to the Superman rom. I wasted hours on Sunday trying to get a systemless root etc. and this worked in 30 minutes. Can confirm every is correct and you can play Pokémon Go just like before the update on a rooted phone.

many thanks

I've got no idea what could go wrong.

I've tried to flash S228 with Flash Tool, after that phone briked.

There is a bootloop at lenovo logo at the start.

TWRP starts OK, but when I try to install anything using TWRP i got an error message "Unable to mount /data", "Unable to mount /emmc"

Now when I try to flash anything using Flash Tool computer does not see the phone when I reset it (red button) and plug it using usb cable, so reflash is not possible :(

please help, any ideas?

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Micheal86:
First and most important thing for installing/upgrading to Stock MM is clean install (even for Odin flash). That`s why we need a WIPED device. And if you fellow this step, then hopefully you`ll never get any issues (bootloop, abnormal battery drain etc). and this is for rooted devices with custom recovery (TWRP).

I always follow these setps.

DO it at your own risk.

1. Go to TWRP Recovery mode (by pressing volume up + power + home button)

2. Enter in Wipe menu

3. Advance wipe

4. Tick Cashe,Data, System, Internal Storage (except external storage/ Micro SD Card) and swipe to wipe.

5. Go to Reboot menu.

6. Power off the device. (Ignore " No OS Installed " message).

7. Open back cover and pull out Sim cards and Memory card(if any).

8. Download Odin ( I use v.3.11.1).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2711451

9. Install essential drivers for your device in your PC/Laptop..

10. Download Stock MM (latest) Firmware for your Device from sammobile.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-J700F/

11. Extract (.tar.md5) it in Odin folder.

12. Go to Download Mode (volume down + power + home button and then volume up)

13. Open odin

14. Connect your device with Original Usb cable.

15. Odin will say "Added" once you connected your device. If not, then check all the drivers and Usb cable.

16. In Odin, make sure "Auto Reboot " and "F. Reset Time" options are Ticked.

17. And make sure "Re Partition" option is not ticked Or marked (checke twice). Don`t touch any other options in Odin.

18. Click on "AP" tab and select the firmware you extracted earlier for your device (.tar).

19. check again everything.

20. If everything is OK. then click on "Start" and sit back.

Odin will display "PASS", when it completed.

And your device will reboot.

After setting your device, power off your device and insert Sim cards (must) and Memory card (optional).

Switch on your device.

Here you can check for the latest software update for your device again. If any update is available, it`ll ask for download and install the latest OS. you should install this update (if available) with wifi/data connection. I`ve installed the latest "J700FXXU2BPG3_J700FODD2BPF9_INS.zip" and after setting the device for the first time, it asked for the OS update again. I downloaded and installed the update and it was "BPH2" with "August Security Patch".. And now I`ve "BPH2" in my device. And I think this the latest update from samsung for J700F.

AND AFTER THAT YOU SHOULD DO FACTORY RESET.

Now you can setup your device according to your wish. And enjoy new stock MM.

These are the steps , I always follow when installing /upgrading any samsung device and really it always provides a very stable and smooth performance.

I just share my procedures.Hope it helps.

[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] rrvuhpg:
Have you some apps from unofficial markets like Aptoide? Have you some apps downloaded from file-sharing links or P2P? If yes, don't search away, you probably have a malicious app.

If you are rooted, use a permission manager app, Xprivacy is good for that and allow blocking strange permissions (Facebook, Google accounts, contacts, device ident, ... for an app who don't need them).
[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] hp6830s:
Might have some. How to detect which one is virus ?
[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] rrvuhpg:
1) Try to re-download apps from trusted sources.

2) Try AVG app integrated in the device to scan it.

3) Use Xprivacy and block unnecessary permissions on suspicious apps, make some test (block/unblock) to understand what mean each permissions. For sample, a game generally don't need root, phone contacts or SMS and needs sensors, storage and Internet.
[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] hp6830s:
nICE,will try that ,got some apps which are not suitable for my device. Think they might be suspicious.

Just noticed your signature. You would not have problems from unlocking it - you may however have problems because it has an unofficial ROM and a modified bootloader. If they get that sucker up and see that, you may get charged. Good luck.

I was showing my phone screen to a friend on webcam today, when I noticed the IR blaster is supposedly active (see attached picture). But it would turn off when the screen would be off as well.

What gives? Is it supposed to be on all the time while the screen is on and wasting precious battery? If not, how do I go on about fixing this, or disabling the IR blaster altogether?

I'm sorry for the stupid questions, I just had to ask.

Thank you for reading!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
That is not the IR blaster. The IR blaster is located on the top (top, not front) right side of the phone.

What you are seeing in the picture is the proximity/gesture sensors. They both use infrared and are both next to each other. So it's one of those.
