Soft bricked phone even after factory image flash topic

Hi all, I am in urgent need of some help...

I got my GS4 when it first came out back in May. It was the VRUAMDK build. I used ODIN and motochopper to get it rooted, eventually got CM going and have been using it ever since.

Today I was playing around flashing different nightlies of CM11. I went to restore from a backup, but it error'd out and said it couldn't restore /data. I rebooted anyway and it hung on the CM logo for about 10 minutes. I tried a wipe/restore again and the same thing happened. I should note that since updating to CWM 6.x.x.x from (I think?) 2.x.x.x I hadn't attempted a restore from backup, but I know that restore worked on CWM 2.

So anyway I went to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2301259

Followed the instructions, similar to when I first rooted my phone, and flashed the 99% factory image with Odin. It "worked" ie no errors but upon reboot my phone hangs on the Verizon logo. It gets through the Samsung boot logo but will just sit at the Verizon logo. Not frozen because the logo is shimmering.

At this point I have no idea what to do. Help?

[Q] Extract Background Image of APK File topic

I am trying to extract a background image from a GO SMS Theme and customize it. I looked all through the res folder of the APK and the image that was used as the background that I want was nowhere to be found. Anyone have an idea of where the image could be located?

[Q] complete image of a motorola xoom topic

This is my first post.
Is there a way that I can create a complete image of a motorola xoom and a complete image of a motorola xoom 2 and then copy that image to another device of the same type? We have about 40 of each kind and when I have to reinstall I have to go to each of the 4 fastboot processes in order to rebuild each device when someone messes up on of them. The Xooms are not rooted and are not assigned to any service providers. MZ604 and MZ607. I was thinking along the lines of when I would create an image of a computer and image another computer. If this is not possible how could I just copy all the apps from one device to another device of the same kind.
I know a little about fastboot and RSD lite.

Help installing kernel image topic

I've been running Linux (debian/ubuntu based on rabits's stuff) on my tablet, with no ability to (easily) boot Android, for a few months now.
My System partition still has 9.4.5.26 on it, and I'd like to reinstall a 9.4.5.26 kernel, without wiping my System partition, so I can switch back to Android.

I've (I think) extracted a kernel image and a ramdisk image from a 9.4.5.26 install image, and I'm trying to create a install image containing just the kernel and ramdisk, and copy it to the Staging partition with dd.

I've created a Makefile to create the blobfile, and (seemingly) successfully created the blobfile, but after I do the dd, and reboot, debian/ubuntu boots as usual, instead of some kind of install process.

I've included the Makefile that I'm using below.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or what's wrong with my expectations?
Something I have yet to try is an alternative to dd (such as fastboot or nvflash)
Also, maybe I'd have better luck trying to create something that I could install from TWRP.

Code:

---

kern = zImage
bootimg_filename = boot.img
blobpack = ./blobpack
blob_img = blob.LNX
recovery_part = /dev/mmcblk0p4

$(bootimg_filename) : initrd.img $(kern)
        abootimg --create $(bootimg_filename) -k $(kern) -r initrd.img

blob.LNX: $(bootimg_filename)
        $(blobpack) blob.LNX LNX $(bootimg_filename)

install.dd:
        dd if=$(blob_img) of=$(recovery_part)

[Q] Camera image does not fit screen / black bars topic

Problem shown in the picture url's below (I haven't hit the 10 post limit so sorry for the inconvenience with the "(dot)" stuff)

s18(dot)postimg(dot)org/gunyf1prr/Screenshot_2014_03_10_14_36_41(dot)png

s18(dot)postimg(dot)org/ls1j05rqv/Screenshot_2014_03_10_14_36_58(dot)png

As you can see the image my camera is taking and filming does not fit my whole screen in the camera app, no matter the resolution I set the image to be captured at. I believe it is connected to the camera app it's self as I don't have this problem with pictures and video taken through Snapchat. The ROM I'm currently using is CloudyFlex 1.4 which is listed as having a "Flex ported camera", I've also tried switching from that and flashing Jinshu's camera mod version V2.5.6 EXPT_4 and the problem persisted. Any ideas?

[Q] Flashing splash screen (shows image of snow) topic

So I was trying to flash the splash screen when I accidentally didn't rename it from the png file to an img file. Now whenever I boot the phone it shows an image of snow and then the bottom is black. I'll try to take a picture later, but did I mess up my phone for good? When I try to flash other .img files it still gives me that snow/black splash screen.

[Q] Kik messenger background image topic

I have been trying to find the code for setting a kik messenger background image. I have tried editing the apk file however that does not work, as the background is set to a solid color. Even when putting in the code to add an image it does not work, the application just force closes or the picture never loads.

Can any one, or has anyone successfully added an image background to kik messenger chats?

Please assist if you can, I have been searching for a way to do this forever!

[Q] Recover image files out of a Nandroid backup? topic

Hey guys,

Last week i flashed CM11 in my S3. Before doing it, i did a nandroid backup via recovery and backed up apps + system data via TBP.

I didn´t realize that i had all my photos saved in my internal memory, so i didn´t save them before wiping.

Since i did a Nandroid, my photos must be stored there, right?

My question is:

Is it possible to recover all the pictures from that backup, without having to flash it? Maybe via "mskip" Gs3 Toolkit?

Thanks for your time!!

LgG2 Image persistence (retention, burn - in) topic

hello everyone (sorry about my bad english)

I bought Lg g2 d 802 (international), everything stock..not even rooted and the first unusual stuff I saw was "Content Adaptive Brightness"
but i get used to it now. The other thing i wanted to ask here is image persistence of isp screen.
I saw some tablets with ips screen suffering from this...also some samsung lcd Tv-s from 2008-9, and i found
it in my phone...when i surf internet, facebook for a couple of minutes (lets say 5+ minutes) and after that i enter
picture from my gallery that contanins medium gray color in bottom od full screen view i can see shadows from
dock sensor buttons (back, home & settings). shadows are temporary and disapear after few minutes, but as the main
buttons are always on you can see them in full screen of medium dark grey picture every time after usage of phone.
I love this phone, camera, battery, & other fast hw are simply amazing for multitask, and usage, but wanted to see if i'm
alone experiencing this with g2 or not?

all best

[Q] Huawei C8815 not able to Boot "Image Signature Verify Fail" topic

I have Huawei C8815, I am facing the following situation

I installed the stock ROM with 3 keys method, than i unlocked the network with networkunlock.bat file.

Later I tried to install one ROM by CWM Recover and I toggled Signature Verification to OFF

When I restarted my phone, It Shows "Image Signature Verify Fail"

1. My phone is not going to Recovery Mode Menu by Vol+ and Power button.
2. My phone is not going to ADB mode by VOL- and Power button.
In both these situations my phone shows "Image Signature verify fail" Install the image with correct signatures.

3.When I try to install the stock ROM by pressing Vol+ and Vol- and Power button, after step 1 in step 2 it says Update failed.

As per my knowledge when network is unlocked the phone will not accept the stock ROM. For Relocking the network we have a tool OFFICIAL FIRMWARE.BAT but for running the bat file the phone must be loaded in ADB mode. My phone is not loading adb drivers in any situation.

It is showing only drivers Android Sooner adb interface.

In this driver environment i cannot do any adb function with my phone.

What to do? I am stuck

I dont know much about JTAG and all. If anything is possible to do with JTAG or any other method, Please guide me in this matter

Why can't i capture image and video both?Why only one at a time? topic

hi
I am a newbie android developer.
I did post this in Q&A, where people told me to ask this is the dev section. So i am posting it here, it is a question related to the application I am developing.
Know some fundamentals of Android OS.
Also familiar with Java, just new to Android.

I am building an application where i need to access the camera to click pictures and videos
At this stage, I can do only one thing at a time.(either click image/video, i have both the codes, the intents and everything however i need to change the code and can use only one at a time, for example if video code is executing, i dont see a focus on the screen for image to be captured... however the record button is visible, but when image code is executed i dont see any record button...i do see the focus on the screen for the capture.. )
My code is in the onCreate function, i know this is the function called first in the lifecycle, so i tried putting both code for images and videos in this function, but i can do only one.

here is my [code]

/*code for images*/
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
File imagesFolder = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "MyImages1");
imagesFolder.mkdirs(); // <----
File image = new File(imagesFolder, "IMAGE_001.JPG");
Uri uriSavedVideo = Uri.fromFile(image);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uriSavedVideo);// set the image file name
startActivityForResult(intent,CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVI TY_REQUEST_CODE);


/*code for videos
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);
File videosFolder = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "MyVideos1");
videosFolder.mkdirs(); // <----
File video = new File(videosFolder, "video_001.mp4");
Uri uriSavedVideo = Uri.fromFile(video);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uriSavedVideo);// set the image file name
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_VIDEO_QUALITY, 1); // set the video image quality to high
startActivityForResult(intent,CAPTURE_VIDEO_ACTIVI TY_REQUEST_CODE);
