Since the update tot emui3/lollipop i've got issues with my phone being connected to both sim cards. The network on sim 2 is often not connected. So I con only receive call's and text messages on the first sim. This is not normal. After a reboot most of the times it works again for some time, but eventually it fails again. can anyone help?
I did receive the update normally and my phone is not rooted
Try the easiest way. Do a factory reset

Try re-installing the latest rom released. if it didn't work go back to the rom that worked with you without this issue. If the problem remains, then You need to take it to the nearest service center coz it's mostly gonna be a hardware issue

mine is build b313. Can i do an upgrade without rooting my phone?
Sure u can. It's an official update, you don't need root to install ANY official update
Sent from my gigantic"iPhone" using Tapatalk
and how exactly do I reïnstall this?
Download the rom ( you can find the latest version in the index thread)
Unzip the rom
Move the folder "dload" to the root of your external sd card ( make sure that the file "update.app" is inside dload folder
Go to settings
Updater
Options
Local update
Agree to create a backup
Agree to all prompts
Wait for the phone to reboot and install the update
If you see a success message after its done then you are all done!

Hi all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 XXKPH and skin's CF root installed. Everything was working fine until yesterday my mobile started behaving weirdly. If I let it stay for a while, and press the home button it wouldn't start. I had to remove the battery and boot again. When it boots up, I get the initial setup screen like language settings, email setup,etc in a nutshell it got resetted. This was happening for almost 5 times yesterday. Today I faced the same issue but my mobile wouldn't go past the boot screen this time. It kept bootlooping. I tried to restore via CWM restore but it threw an error "CAN"T MOUNT /SYSTEM". I kept receiving the following errors
i got error message 'e: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3'
got E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p3, after flash
I tried to flash XXKPH again but no luck. I noticed a few times its getting past the boot logo and I see the homescreen but in MY FILES, it displays "YOU DO NOT HAVE A SD CARD INSERTED"
My questions are:
* Has anyone faced this problem already? If so please provide me a fix.
* If no fix can be given, and if I take it to the samsung service center the warranty is applicable or it gets void?
Please guys help me. Lots of thanks!!!

The issue you reported was that of SoD reported by some in the Skin's OC kernel.
What did you try to do? Did you flashed only KPH PDA? If yes. Try to flash with all the files of XXKPE(pit, bootloader, pda, modem), then KPH over it. Se if this solves your problem.

Thanks for your reply. As I said, i did nothing after installing CF root of skin's long back. It was working fine for almost a month. This issue happened to cause out of nowhere. I tried to flash XXKPE first and then XXKPH but no luck.

Is everything else working fine? I once faced this issue when I accidently deleted my "vold.fstab". try lookin for it thru Root explorer.
If not, Flash your original ROM(the one tat came with your phone), cook a good story & head on to the service center..
Best of Luck..!!
P.S.: Also take alook what dis guy is saying(m not sure of it)

Thanks Ronhoover. I downgraded my firmware from gingerbread to froyo(DXKF1).
Installation went successfully and got my homescreen but still when I open "MY FILES" it displays "YOU DO NOT HAVE SD CARD INSERTED" though I've inserted a 8 GB external card. One doubt though, if I go back to the samsung service centre with this firmware, Can I get a warranty? Can they detect what all I've done before?
Format your sd card.

No they will not detect anything until u flashed other rom other than stock. U just flash stock rom then make a good fake story to tell service center & tell them to flash back firmware & make phone like when I purchaed it.
This i a well know problem with the sg1 i9000,there was some bad memory chips ,shipped, some had luck by just flashing a complete full rom, like mine,others had to send the device to Samsung.

Thanks for your reply. If I send to samsung, Can I still get the warranty? Since this issue looks like a hardware fault.

Well I tried by two ways. I browsed through settings and selected SD and Phone storage and tried to format it. It displays SD is not mounted and though I select format SD card nothing happens. Secondly, I tried to connect the device in MASS STORAGE but windows wouldn't detect it.
It is probably a hardware fault and should be covered regardless.

hi
it's hardware fault and you have 2 options
1- flash your original firmware and send to the service center if you can .
2- modify fstab and vold.fstab to allocate external sd as internal
please check my post tested and working

Didn't try it and also gave my phone to service but thanks anyway. One doubt though, even I do this, I will get only my external sd capacity and not my internal sd right? So internal sd card is of no use thereafter you say?

Flashed to DDKB2 and gave the phone to samsung service center. Keeping my fingers crossed as they will let me know the status by today evening.
dear dude_rocks
please can you update us
@ahmed,
I've given my mobile for service. They said its motherboard problem. I'm waiting for the spare part. Probably I'll be getting mine next week.
was getting multiple "Internal SD Card unexpectedly removed" errors - if i flashed other ROMS (and the service centre did the same, they flashed 2 ROMs) id either keep getting this error or it'd do a restart+bootloop which would require me to pull the battery.
Finally got the service centre to replace the PBA mainboard. they did that 1 hr ago so now hoping no more restarts/force closes. they put my on 2.3.6 (indian version DDKP3).
Also, the best part....my internal SD now shows 11.73GB earlier showed 1.52GB

This morning I noticed the exact same issue on my N8013, which is also not rooted. It is less than a month old. When I first got it a major firmware update was automatically downloaded and installed via WiFi with no problem. It's not rooted nor has anything been done other than installing a bunch of apps.
I did connect via Kies just now, which shows that the firmware is up to date. In Kies I also checked for firmware updates and I did get a flash screen back showing that the latest firmware is installed. Of course, I don't normally connect via Kies to the N8013 (like I do on my Note 2) and I presumed that having the box ticked on the Settings menu for automatic checking for updates would suffice when connected via WiFi.
Looks like a software bug.
Ok. I figured it out. Unmount SD Card. Switch off, on, check device status. It is fine. Once I insert sd card it goes back to modified and gives same msg.
I believe best is backup sd on pc. Format it on device. Copy back ur files. It should work. Will try tonight and post results.

After doing the sd card ruu thingy I found out that it's a hardware problem due to its persistence this thread can be deleted by the mods at will thanks for helping all those who helped .
Installed programs some no longer work, hangouts for example loads and that's it and other things are acting weird. What about U? My phone is not rooted
Did the same thing with me at first - Give it a little time - and reboot a few times . Seems to be stabilizing now ...
Am I able to get the update if I'm rooted? I recall having read some problems could occur when attempting to update while rooted...

No. Fully unroot to install updates.
Does anyone know what this update is supposed to do. One of my apps - Smart AppLocker Pro will no longer lock my apps. What a PITA!. Haven't noticed any other weirdness. It's great that Alcatel is updating the phone, but i wish they would go to 5.1.

It's stated all over the place here not to do that...If you kept TWRP you can restore a backup or reflash the supersu zip file...if you did not (which is what the previous update did) then there is currently NO fix..you can either send it back under warranty or get with @petrov.0 to help test his possible solution to flash twrp via "download mode". He posted about it in the "my phone is bricked" thread..just do a search on "bricked".
has anyone else experienced problems with their sd after this update?
I did a soft reboot because i found my device was hanging and slow, and then upon restarting, it says safe to remove sd card. i cant mount it and i'm forced to format if i put it in my computer's sd reader.
anyone have any tool that can possibly extract from corrupted sd card? all of my summer's photos are on it.

Recuva.
Anybody else having issues receiving the latest OTA released today? I've tried 3 times now with it returning an error on the recovery screen and when it boots back into the OS it says the update failed with no explanation.
Mine worked first try. Software update complete. It even mentioned making sure to charge the battery as the update may have drained it...
Mine worked Ok. How much memory do you have remaining free? Maybe that is an issue...?
New firmware update huh? I have not gotten my notifcation yet. I'll do a manual check, but I'm stll on the default OGJ firmware and modem.

4.01 GB free and the funny thing is I actually just did a fresh restore using the previous AOJ2 firmware via ODIN and I used the PIT file as well. I'm gonna try again and see what happens in a moment.

On a couple of other devices I had, I had stuff disabled and that was the cause of the OTA failure. I currently used the debloater on my Note 5 to disable/hide a bunch of stuff. I will try to re-enable all those, and then try the update.

I don't see any changes as to what we interact with, but new Android security patches and does have a new kernel with a different date, not sure if anything changed on the internals of it. Have new entry in about device of android security patches and November 1st date.

Just an update I also had alot of apps disabled as well and re-enabling them did not fix the issue. I had to install samsung smart switch on my pc and do the update manually and it worked with no factory data reset which was optimal because transferring my music collection via MTP is a pain in the a$$. I will post the firmware if anyone needs it, but there is also a firmware thread that should be updated momentarily.

Do you have a computer? Plug it in and install the updater. You might be able to pull the update from there.

As these updates are often specific to carriers, I'd be surprised if the installer did not look for the sim card to absolutely verify carrier. Just my guess. Good luck.
Didn't work. I think I need a Verizon sim
I wonder if you can get a hold of an old non-working Verizon sim and see if it works. If so, you can just switch them out any time you want to update. Try eBay or something.
