Hi
I use a Bell Mobility SGH i337M samsung S4. I had a stock ROM. Then i rooted with:
CF-Auto-Root-jfltecan-jfltevl-sghi337m.tar.md5
All works pretty well but I totally lost bluetooth capability and my camera refuses to load.
I have SU with twrp. I cleared cache. I even rebooted and wiped partition cache. Still nothing. Bluetooth doesn't load or even offer up a list of anything. It freezes.
I reinstalled the auto root file and got another pass in odin. Still stuck.
Theres little help available for this situation and even less so for a canadian S4 and...to paint myself into an even further corner, I am using bell mobility in Quebec which seems to have another set of constraints. Very few use the exact same baseband version as us.
I am not sure i can get my hands on the stock rom anymore since most links have failed to give me anything besides an Avast warning of a pending infection.
Installing a few 3rd party cameras didn't help. The camera still won't load.......and the bluetooth problem is another big one. I read about needing to write new command lines but it wasn't well explained.
Any help out there would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having a similar issue with 2 unrelated apps. The first is the playstation app that was recently released and the other is Triangle Away. On Triangle away, it is saying I need to download an add-on, but then get a connection error immediately. It is the same with the playstation app, It times out on the launch page before even getting to the log in prompt.
Now, everything else works perfect on my phone. I'm getting 30Mbps d/l and 20Mbps u/l. I've tried them on all LTE/4g (hspa+)/3g/2g and wifi. SuperSU is also working fine with all the apps I have installed. It was happening while I was rooted with custom roms, so I used Odin to unrestore factory image and unroot. While unrooted I tried the playstation app and still nothing, I then rooted via odin and tried both an no luck. I then tried rooting through phils recovery and nothing changed. The only reason I care is because I'm worn out on custom roms and want to go stock and just update like normal when 4.3 comes out, but I can't reset my flash counter.
I feel like there's something wrong with my phone, but with factory everything it just doesn't make sense. if you'd like me to grab info for you, please post instructions if it's a lengthy or possible unfamiliar process as troubleshooting system info isn't something I'm familiar with.
Thanks for your time! I hope someone out there can help.
Edit: I have a T-mobile Note 2 (t889)
Well I posted this in general - but I didn't get a reply - and I'm really desperate.
When it comes to mobile platforms I'm more or less as green as they come - so forgive my ignorance regarding... Everything
I recently misplaced my beloved Nexus 4's flipcase. The day it went missing, I managed to stumble and drop my phone a distance onto tiles . It landed at such an awkward angle that the screen not only cracked but pretty much shattered - killing what I believe is known as the digitizer with it. It won't respond to touch.
Distraught I took up my dad's old Galaxy S3 - which was only cracked and a bit eaten (puppies). I went straight into using it and due to a demanding schedule I didn't have time to recover any of the data of the N4 - which I don't know how to do anyway. I quickly learn that I hate Touchwiz and the lack of personal details wakens me to how reliant I am on my phone.
So I set aside some time to get root - load a custom ROM (pa) - and transfer all my data from the N4 to the S3. The first difficulties appear when the S3 rejects towelroot. I install the towelroot apk from the official website and run it. Towelroot tells me it's currently an unsupported device. I google the model number (i9300) and apparently it works with Towelroot. Weird - I guess I'll do it manually.
So I install odin and download what I need and get the drivers for the S3 working and get root. It works without a hitch (I think until later ). Next I look into how to get a ROM on my phone. This happens: http://forum.xda-developers.com/para...4/post54744770 (that's my post btw so it's the exact scenario). I will say that while I was going through this issue I tried many things to try and get rid of the error - I played with CWM a lot - tried to update it - updating failed with unknown errors. - I tried to flash my recovery - it couldn't flash my recovery. Earlier I had tried to install the CWM recovery on it's own from the play store (again - total noob) I only got related versions of CWM from 2011-2012. All of these problems were pretty confusing - and eventually due to the generic error about not being able to flash my recovery I had no idea how to proceed so I did as advised in the thread above and installed Flashify.
Flashify told me I had root, but that it couldn't get access to SuperSU - and to delete SuperSUs memory of Flashify. I went to SuperSU and SuperSU told me that it needed to update my binaries (I don't even know what my binaries are?!). I tell it it can go ahead and it just says "installation failed" so I install SuperUser to try and replace SuperSU - and delete SuperSU. And Flashify is clinging to the remains of SuperSU. Between my odd model identification (TowelRoot - Status 7 error) and my devices seeming lack of compatibility with.. Anything really (I imagine the two are related). I decide to clean slate it with a factory reset. Which I do from the CWM BIOS (?? Volume up + Home + Power?).
So of course unlike any phone I've ever worked with - a factory reset now means wipe my SIM. (Okay that was laziness and stupidity I should have taken it out first but allow me to grieve). As I should have predicted but didn't it wiped all my backups (foolishly saved onto the internal SD card) and leaves me in the fetal position on the ground making howling noises shedding tears onto the floor.
I can't afford a new phone - or to repair my old one. I need the data off my N4 - who's touchscreen doesn't work - which is problem number 1. And I would really rather not live with touchwiz, or have to do half the process again when I otherwise find the time to get rid of it, so I want to do that now but there are so many errors and I have no idea what I'm dealing with - which is problem number 2.
So please, if anyone can help me out with a)Getting the data off my N4 (it is properly set up as a mass media device) and b)Fixing this seemingly banjaxed S3 and getting pa onto it.
Any help would be really gratefully received. It's been an awful weekend - I also lost a hard drive with all my work and a lot of personal data on it to natural causes.
Thanks - I eagerly await my knight in shining armor.
Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

Hi Everyone,
I come to you for a bit of help. I have spent a long time trying to fix this and come for help from you guys.
So I got a little bored with standard Samsung Android on my Note 2 (GT-N7100). Having used Cyanogen before, I decided to try it on the note.
I rooted the device and installed CWM on it no problems. I then loaded CM from a micro usb.
On reboot it just gets what i'd call the "Spinning blue screen of death" where it just has the big blue circle going round until it runs out of battery. After some research I used CWM to clean out the caches etc but it still didn't appear to work. This was using the stable version for my Note 2. I then went on to try other versions and got the same issues. Alas, trying to do a restore didn't work either, as it didn't seem to have all the files.
At this point I am happy to go back to stock Android or indeed CM. I'd just like a phone that works!
My device details:
Model GT-N7100
SSN: -N7100GSMH
Network Provider Virgin UK
Any help appreciated.
Hi Guys,
Hopefully this is in the right section
I have a Note 4 SM-N910G and its just turned absolutely useless since I factory flashed it. I have rooted it before and bricked it and un bricked it before so have some experience with it. I recently wiped my phone and did a firmware restore using Samsung Kies and since I did the phone is absolutely useless. It started out fine for an hour or two and now it lags by like a minute with any action, even trying to bring up the keyboard when typing. It will reset itself, lock itself, crash, just un useable. I've tried reflashing it again stock a couple times and still the same everytime. It went from perfectly fine to dreadful with the original mentioned restore. I did just recently get an error code of "sbl1 partition doesn't exist" in Boot recovery mode.
Does anyone know if this is fixable and not a hardware issue?
Should I try and just root it again and flash a non-oem rom? (I havent had the time to do it recently)
many thanks,
Tekkado
Hi Guys,
Also I should add that when I was rooted the phone was fine but when i went to unroot through super user the phone was still functioning as though rooted and I couldnt download software updates because my device was "modified".
So thats when i just flashed stock firmware and again now flashing through odin aswell it proceeds fine then the device will say installing updates and then give a no command error or seandroid not enforced. Everytime is basically a different message.
How can I just wipe everything and get back to stock?
Thanks
So to add to this is there any relationship between the firmware running and the bootloader? I just realised that before i tried to flash stock firmware i was rooted and didnt un root via superuser because in the past that did jack all.
I flashed dr. ketan rom this morning and the phone was operating as normal very snappy but as soon as i downloaded a new app from the play store (reddit and chrome) again it turned to absolute crap.
Is there a disconnect here that i missing that can be fixed?
Thanks
Okay this is my very first post. Let me start off by saying this is like my second Android phone. Previously I had the Galaxy J1 thru verizon but never had any issues. All my other phones have been all iPhones and I don't know anything about Android rooting/flashing etc. I've switched to Android recently after having practically every iPhone since the original. My problem is that I rooted the Amp 2 following the instructions from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/galaxy-2-rootable-t3384285/page4. It worked, the main reason why I decided to root the phone was to gain more system memory which I'm disqusted that Android takes up a lot of it's OS or w.e in its system memory and to bypass Cricket's stupid tethering block on the $60 plan without the mobile hotspot. Once I flashed the file provided via odin and rooted with kingroot, I would get a security notice that unauthorized changes have been made and that I would need to reboot my device, that was fine with me but I did so only to find that the message still appears every fifteen minutes so I disabled it with the package disable pro that I bought on the google play store. The problem I'm having is that I can't encrypt my phone and
SD card. Everytime I try to do so it wont work and I can't even get the SD card to mount properly so I unrooted the phone with kingroot and restored my phone back to factory. Still the same issue.... For whatever reason, it wont let me encrypt the phone again and I cannot get back whatever pictures from my SD card I had and a backup of all my contacts I imported from my J1. All I wanted was to try a custom recovery and ROM but I want to make the phone stock again because I been having so much issues. Like I've stated before I don't know anything on Android rooting and flashing, only iPhone jailbreaks. If somebody can help me out that will be great. I understand that the phone was given to me for free by porting over my number and that I can easily get another Android for cheap but all I want to do is get some assistance.
I downloaded the stock ROM file but I can't seem to flash it in Odin or using the recovery mode if that makes sense to anybody reading this thread. I've tried clicking the AP box to select my file but its a zip file and I can't get it to work.
Helppppp
Bump need help recovering back to a stock ROM. I must of screwed something up. I've downloaded the stock Rom over the internet but I can't seem to get it to work by Odin. CAN SOMEBODY HELP CUZ I CAN'T EVEN DOWNLOAD ANY APPS OFF GOOGLE PLAY!! PLZ HELPPPP
