Develop Bugs

[Q] Help with my broken phone please!

I bought a Galaxy S Glide (I think the same as the Blaze) from an outlet in Hong Kong on import from Canada (on boot it says "Rogers" so I can assume it's from Canada).
After using it for a week it suddenly stopped using the network and said that I need a lock code.
I went back to the shop where I bought it and they said they couldn't do anything immediately and would I like a replacement, which seemed like a nice thing to do.
However, after a couple of days I notice a glitch on the screen happen a couple of times.
I refused to believe it was a big problem (because it was my new phone right!) within a week the screen started to totally crash to the point that it would freeze in the boot up process.
You can see a picture attached of how the screen looks after I managed to do a hard reset.
When it starts to go like this, you cant do anything with it.
The guy at the shop wont change it or refund it, he claims I dropped it.
Samsung Hong Kong don't support it because it's from Canada and the only shop that knows what to do with it is the guy that sold it to me.
I'm taking the guy to the small claims court, but I'd rather have a fixed phone.
Any ideas please?

Thats happen to me, is a problem with the roger version. Everything in internet say the problem is hardware, but now mines works perfect. So, is like a bug in the rogers, maybe hardware problem, but if can be fixed with software i dont think so.
If you flash ICS with superoneclick (will remove rogers bootscreen) the problem will be fixed, of course you can flash it with a tar image with odine and will have the rogers bootscreen too. With that the phone will work again.

I have searched for more information about this problem, but couldn't find anything, do you have any links to anything?
Thanks again for your help.

they dont say exactly, but if you see users with similar problem, they have rogers version, at least all the user that i see with this problem.
Just do what i say, install ICS; and the problem will solve.

Follow this http://www.theandroidsoul.com/andro...ich-update-for-att-captivate-glide-i927uclg9/ for installing the one click.

I strongly doubt this, that looks and sounds like a hardware fault. But hey, if there's no warranty option, you've got nothing to lose...
-E- FWIW, I would boot it into download mode, and let it sit on that screen for an hour. Then plug it into your computer and make sure Odin sees it. If it hangs while in download mode DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING. You REALLY don't want your phone to hang mid-bootloader-flashing, that's an automatic fullbrick...

That was all say, but, in odin my glide never freeze, only freeze while booting or charging too. But not in odin. And right now is working without any screen freeze.

If the device is no more under warranty, I would say trying this would not harm the device anymore. Also this is a samsung released update so nothing unofficial about it.

if you search in internet about freeze problem in glide you will see. Can be roll back with odin. But, if you have no warranty on your device, you dont have nothing to lose, and much to win if the problem solve

My brother had this same problem on his glide (bought at newegg). I got him to install galaxym unlock (galaxsim? Something like that), and you purchase an inapp unlock for $3, and it runs, reboots your phone and you regain unlock. They claim its permanent. So far my brother didnt get locked again.
Is cheap, fast and you can also see in the reviews that there are more glides that used it and worked.
Hope this helps!

This helped with the frozen screen as shown in the picture?

thats for unlock, is possible that your phone will lock again when update to ICS. my phone was too from newegg and is rogers, thats why i say is a problem with rogers version.
Do what i tell you, you have nothing to lose

Thanks for thinking about my problem, but this solution misses one very big point, the phone that was locked was changed for the phone that has a screen that doesn't work.
I do not have the locked phone any more.

probably will lock again after you flash ICS via odin, thats happen to me. Is not a screen problem, again, if you want to try to solve, do what i say before.

I have the exact same problem, was just about to post in the other thread about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953672
Bought my phone from Amazon US marketplace about a month ago (but live in the UK), and suddenly the phone did that on start up one day. However, I agree with lorddavid, it is not a hardware fault as it does not freeze in download mode. Samsung service centres won't repair as it does not have a UK warranty, and although I can get a refund by returning I would rather have a working phone.

Was very happy to read this, seems like I'll have to try it. Have been putting it off as it will wipe my phone which I did not want to do just yet - I have a lot of photos and clips which I can't exactly back up as it does not boot normally. Really annoying. Any way to access these/back up before flashing?
And another question, that ICS update is the first leaked one which carried a few bugs (as did the official UCLH2 one) - can I install the fixed UCLJ3 straight away? And do I need a rooted phone in the first place? In Rawr0w0's initial post it seems to suggest I do. Sorry for all the questions, and thanks in advance.

dont remember, i think is the UCLH2, and i think that there was a odin flashable of the latest version (with bug fixes), you can try that (but dont know where download it :/ )
Do you have the photos in your internal storage? i think if you flash with one click, it will delete it, but if you flash the firmware via odin, it doesnt delete it (but i am not 100% sure)
And no, you dont need root to install roms via odin
This is UCLH2 without one click
http://androidromupdate.com/2012/09...-firmware-upgrade-official-kiesota-stock-rom/
And here is the latest version with bug fixes (like keyboard light)
http://androidromupdate.com/2012/11/10/i927uclj3-new-ics-4-0-4-for-samsung-sgh-i927-captivate-glide/
These are the officials. But the second link i never try it to flash because when i has the problem there wasnt that version

Thanks, yeah that's where I was getting the files from, I'll try it tonight, will probably go for the second link, the UCLJ3 rom.

YES WAHOO!! My phone works! Thank you for the advice! I mainly got it from the other thread but without having read your attempt at flashing I would never have tried it - I'm so happy! I managed to make a back up and copy my media via CWM anyway, but everything was still on there including all my texts and whatsapp messages, and now I have ICM 4.04 too!
Phew I thought I would have to send it back, get a refund and order another one which is a massive pain and lose everything on my phone.
Hkcharlie, you need to try this!

Unfortunately most people think this is their own personal tech support site (it isn't) so sometimes you will get selfish people like this who just come here to solve problem and dont give a sh1t about sharing solutions.
What have you done/tried so far? Have you tried flashing roms? What happened? etc etc. You need to be more detailed if you expect help.

Hi, sorry if I made you upset! I am new to rooting and tried yesterday to root my galaxy s3 and everything went just fine until i restarted it. Immediately after the "samsung galaxy gt-i9305" text it goes to a downloading screen just like that one in download mode but without the text in the upper left corner and does nothing tough it says downloading.
I have tried to:
-factory reset
-take out battery
-take out sim-card
-flash the same rom again
I have NOT tried to:
-Flash a stock rom (couldn´t find one from Finland) Could that help?
Cant think of anything else. I can still enter recovery mode and download mode.
Ps. I know that this isn´t a tech support site but judging from the guides i have seen so far (rooted my phone from a guide on this site) it seems like people here know what they are doing so I thought it would be best to ask here first.
Thanks!

I was referring to the person who created the thread who you quoted, as being selfish, not you What I meant is that he solved his problem but then never bothered to give any details, so people who search for same issue do not get answer in this thread.
Go here and get the required firmware and flash via Odin. There will also be a small guide on flashing the rom.

Thank you for replying!! I couldn´t find a firmware from finland there (I have registered now). Do you think i can use one from denmark (close to Finland)?
Again thank you! +1

Just incase someone is wondering it is working now I downloaded a stock rom from sammobile and flashed it and it worked for me:laugh:

S4 mini reboots

Hi every one.
I have a brand new S4 mini and I am pissed of because it reboots it self few times a day,sometimes 1-2,one day I had almost 20 reboots.
There is a saying in my country: how much money,that much music, and i am pissed because this phone costs almost 1000 dollars in my country and for that money it should be composing brand new simphonies
I try various solutions and before going to the store I would like to fix it my self if possible...and one more thing I don't want to break warranty by fixing it my self.
I ruled out this issues- faulty SIM(got a new one,same thing happens)
- SD card problem(with or without it it's the same)
- app related issues(it's the same with or without updating apps,was it on 4.2.2 or 4.4.2)
I don't have another battery so I can't test this one.
I also noticed that sometimes if app crashes(frezees) I don't have the force close dialogue,instead the phone reboots so I am thinking that this could be the problem.Is there a way to turn on force close dialogue?
The thing that pisses me the most is that on HTC wildfire S I could get it to work for 500+ hours without rebooting it my self,and on this one my record is 17 hours without reboot.
Thanks to everyone who will try to help me.

If you don't want to break your warranty, then go to service center with your phone to test and repair.
Other else there not to much to do but try to reflash your stock firmware with Odin (this don't break your warranty), and do a full wipe from recovery after.

It's not Russian and same thing happens on 4.2.2 and 4.4.2
I returned the phone to the store,it returned from service but they haven't repaired it so i said that i don't want this phone anymore,i gave it back and demanded for a new one...now i'm waiting for a new one to come to my address this days
anyway, i think that there is a problem with kernel or something like that but it's up to the service to fix it not on me because it's a brand new phone

No, I restored it from a backup I made before I rooted my phone. I will try that. Thanks:good:

Annoyingly I can't download the original firmware. The only place I can find is rapid gator and it fails after about an hour. Any ideas where I can get the original firmware for my phone?

How difficult can it be to get an original firmware? I just can't get it to download from rapidgator and Samsung don't seem to have direct downloads. Stuck with a knakered phone.

@davidmlondon Did u try sammobile.com ? The official firmwares are hosted on their servers and offer good speeds. But need to create a free account to access firmware downloads. Alternatively you can try samsung-updates.com If i am right they provide 2 links for all roms and u can try any. Good luck.
BTW why do u wanf to return to jb? official kitkat is good enough.

Thanks. Will give that a go. I would rather use Kitkat but every ROM I try has the same problem with the dialer crashing and making the phone reboot. Sometimes people can hear me but I can't hear them and then the phone reboots. Sometimes it just freezes, makes a screeching noise and reboots. I also notice that the signal drops to nothing, which I think is related to the dialler crashing.

did u try different modems like cnf7, cne6, cnh5 and any other. Usually network related issues are due to modems. I see that you are from UK. As far as I can remember samsung did not seed kitkat to uk. So you need to flash firmware of country close to UK like france or germany. Also before and after flashing stock kitkat wipe data/factory reset. And after flashing verify if baseband/modem changed to new one. Good luck

Haven't tried a different modem. Might give that a go before I go back to stock. I downloaded the German version from Sam Mobile.

[Q] Video recording not working in 5.0.1 - force reboots phone

I installed the official T-Mobile 5.0.1 update N900TUVUFOB6 via Samsung Kies and rooted via Chainfire. I can take pictures okay but when I try to record videos through the stock Camera app, it freezes then reboots the phone, which happens every time! I've tried to install other camera apps from the Play Store but none of them work for video recording. I suspect it's an api issue. Has anyone run into this or know what the problem is? I've even wiped cache and did a factory reset through Recovery but still the same problem. I really need to be able to record videos on my phone, so if anyone has a solution I would be so grateful!

I have the same issue. Wiped the entire phone including internal sdcard, went back to stock firmware but nothing worked. Taking pictures works but as soon as press the record button it freezes and a few seconds later the phone will reboot.

Just to let you guy know what I am sure is going on, this video recording damage has been caused by none other than aosp! if you all have previously installed liquid smooth like I did in 3 separate devices
1.tmo s4
And 2 note 3's (one is tmo and one is sprint) I think it is any asop although each person having this damage to their device should answer if they previously installed aosp and specifically liquid smooth.
I was going to assume this damage was only going to happen on tmo note 3, so I tested it on 2 other phones and sure enough they must be forced to remain running asop (the s4 has candy 5) the sprint note 3 currently has the ever so bugging liquid smooth. I also have tried every clean Odin delete everything known to us layman's on the planet and now I am looking for a NV restore. I already tried so sort of a NV item restore Using the dialer *#9090# then pressing Q and then pressing 0000 then option 2,1,2,3 then all with no change. I read somewhere in the xda's grapevine lol about a flash able zip called "Brick_Loop_FIX_afterRestoringBackup" that starts an built in feature that restores or rebuilds the modem then upon boot restores the NV items. I am assuming they are the same thing. Although, with no thought it will fix anything I will flash the zip tomorrow and let you know. I got a couple things to back up incase whatever may happen capin, unless one of you guys try it first, let me know

Haven't heard from the grapevine what protocol, ims or a static rebuild even does except if your imei is all zeros and your don't have any network or stuck in a boot loop after a nandroiid restore I erpose this will fix those couple thing I have read. Although I assume the dialer hidden menu NV rebuild does not really NV rebuild all like it says it does or the all its referring to is really just the first 2 options that are just a couple basic stuffs or it would have fixed my aosp camera damage. Well never listen to anyone who says aosp is all the rave and how you should try it out lol its blackmail to get you to stay on a bugged out ROM forever! LOL

I noticed that my baseband and bootloader was Nb4 even tho i had flashed lollipop, so i ended up flashing stock lollipop using odin from http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-tmobile/general/5-0-n900tuvufob6-extracted-stock-t3047672 then after flashing i downloaded the lollipop bootloader and used odin 3.09 to flash that bootloader in BL, and the modem in ap, video camera works now and youtube has been fixed also.

How does one find the bootloader version? I checked and noticed the baseband is in fact Nb4, although looking for the bootloader version I just seen the build is Ob6.

Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
it tells everything including bootloader version

OK thank you, I will check it out. what does the baseband and bootloader need to be? I mean what does yours read so I know what files to search for and load using version 3.09?
BL and AP, what do they need to show exactly?
Thanks a lot for the help, if this fixes the video recorder I will post many places that you fixed the problem and link back to this thread. =)
After looking at my current setup it does make sense according to what you are saying if the current firmware is 0b4
And both the baseband and bootloader are Nb4.
Should they all 3 be ob4?
- never mind my son said I am sweating over nothing, just to make sure they are all ob4. If this works I am going to be able to use my camera again! Thanks again!
