I have a Rooted Note 5. I keep getting these weird notifications about logcat, dumpstate, and others.
After a few hours, I found it opens up SYSDUMP
I reset the phone and it still has the same issues.
I loaded the original firmware and still have the issues.
It keeps prompting me to ceate dump files. I allow it, and it wants to create more.
Any idea what toggle i need to hit?

I've got this Samsung Focus on AT&T, the other day I decided to force the newest update. I made sure I had all the correct languages and everything. The update went through and most of the phone works. (cellular connection is indeed corruption, and I know about the fix for that.)
Basically what's happening is, the Phone liveTile shows the accumulated missed calls but when I tap on it, the animation freezes then goes back to the homescreen. I can call people through the People app or by using TellMe, and people can call me. I suppose the only thing I can't do is check to see who has called me.
Is this a known issue? Is there a fix? please let me know! as for the backup...
Apparently the backup I did got corrupted in some way, so there's no going back to that (the currently existing back up for some reason is after the update, though I haven't tried using it yet).
restart it. if doesn't work. reset the phone
Yeah, I definitely tried restarting it. I even ran the Samsung tools and that didn't fix anything (including my data issue... I tap on "cellular" in the settings and it doesn't open. ****e.) To modify a classic Bill Gates quote... "I guess that's why they're not shipping 8107 yet."
I think I have an old mango back up from the fall, but oh jeez, that's a lot of backtracking.
I'll keep refreshing this thread to see if any experts have any ideas for a little bit, after a while I'll just reset the phone I guess.
The phone app thing isn't a huge deal at the moment, but no cellular data?! How am I supposed to win arguments without a cellular data connection?
read the thread more carefully, and apply the correct updates - core os update is not enough...just read...please!
Bad update, you need correct language file, i had the same problem on my Titan... Phone live tile, in settings Mobile network etc doesnt work after bad update.
I had the following in my cab sender folder:

Will simple reapplying work perhaps? I mean, I'm pretty sure those are the only ones I needed, I did read the thread quite a few times.
Update reapplied and now it's working!!!!
Now I just need to figure out my internet sharing issue.
System updates are generally good, but not for my phone, for now. As you all know a rooted phone cannot just simply be updated through settings app, and FlasFfire Pixel support isn't quite there yet. BUT the thing is every freakin' time I connect to the Internet it just downloads the update automatically despite the fact itself not being able to install it, and then the phone just deletes the update then try again and again... (I have turned off automatic system updates under dev settings the moment phone booted up after rooting). It has used 6 GIGABYTES of cellular data in 2 days and is really freaking me out.
I have come up with some possible solutions, but I don't know how to realize them exactly:
1. Freeze the app which detects system updates, but I don't think there's a dedicated app just for that; so I'll have to disable apps like settings to do so, which is not practical at all.
2. Change the permission of the directory to read-only in which system update files reside, but I have no idea which one either. (the whole cache partition only contains empty folders and some small files wth)
3. Block all connection requests to Google system update servers, but apparently, I once again have no idea what the host name(s) or IP(s) are.
Xposed could probably do the job... But it's not for Android N devices yet.
So please help; could anyone give me some suggestions?
EDIT: Problem solved, I captured the traffic. If you guys also have this problem and need a temporary solution, just block all traffics to *.gvt1.com.
I followed this guide to stop the updates, but still got them so then I used this to stop the notifications and it has worked so far.
Thanks! You just help me discovered a gem of an app called "my android tools"
Hi all,
My device: Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F running 6.0.1)
So I've been dealing with Samsung tech support for the last week and believe it or not, things have just gone from bad to much, much, much worse. I am now completely & entirely locked out of my phone (which is running stock firmware).
Background: I wanted to change my Samsung account details (that I've had for nearly 10yrs) from an old email address to another new email account I had. From a combination of reading a few forums & following instructions throughout the actual process on my phone, it turns out that I obviously mad a bad choice. Long story short, I eventually got back to normal and had full access to my phone again, but under 'Settings' > 'Lock screen & security', my 'Reactivation lock' was now enabled (even though I hadn't changed or updated any firmware - only changed my samsung account) and I couldn't slide it to 'off' - even with my correct Samsung Account details?
From speaking to Samsung tech surrport, they said that the changes made to my Samsung email address most likely corrupted some protected file (boot file perhaps, I don't know) and that maybe a trace of my original Samsung account was still on the phone somewhere and now that I was after trying another - they conflicted and were causing me problems. In short, the tech guy said that "the problem is embedded in your software and you will need to do a full factory reset".
The problem (as I explained it to him) was that even with my correct Samsung account details (which he could verify because he remote connected to my phone), (a) I couldn't disable 'reactivation lock' before any factory reset and (b) I couldn't remove the existing Samsung account from my phone before doing so either. I even tried logging onto findmymobile.samsung.com on my PC (which I could do no problem) and tried to disable reactivation lock, but again - it wouldn't allow me to, it just kept sliding back to the 'on' position? The tech support guy proceeded to do an 'emergency recovery & initialization' via the Smart Switch app to reset my device, but now I'm stuck at the initial setup screen (select language, WiFi, etc. and then it comes to my Samsung account details and now it says; "this device is locked because of an abnormal factory reset, etc." However, here's the stickler that even has Samsung tech support baffled........ Despite knowing my samsung account credentials (email address & password), it keeps telling me "processing failed". Whether I try the new details or the old/original ones, I get the same 'processing failed' message! As above, I am assuming this is because there is corrupt Samsung account info in some protected boot file or something, because of two different Samsung accounts I used.
As I am locked out, there is not much I can really do to resolve this. I have researched a lot and I have two queries I am hoping some genius here knows about. (1) Is there not a way to obtain and flash a complete set of original 'everything' to my phone in download mode? (i.e. availing of the 'BL', 'AP', 'CP', 'CSC' functions within Odin?) I am used to inputting files in AP for flashing .tar files for either custom stuff or original firmware, but I have never messed with any of the other options and don't even know where to find the files to put into each 'field' if it was a viable option. If this method is not a way of completely wiping my phone back to the day it came out of the box, what is the method to do this? (2) I have come across a thing called GSM Flasher while doing some research. Not the standalone FRP remover tool which I tried but doesn't work, but the full suite tool. i.e. The one with the cat wallpaper which has Miracle 2.27A, Eagle Eye 2.27A, Aladdin v2 1.34 & 4SE 2.0.4. To the untrained eye, this looks like it could do practically anything to recover any phone, but I am finding it quite hard to come across a decent instructional website or video (in English) on YouTube and/or to determine if it will work and do the job?
Has anyone any ideas about how I go about getting into whatever boot or protect files there are on my phone (that a factory reset doesn't touch) and a way to remove everything and then replace it with original stuff so that I can get ride of this corrupted samsung account issue?
Would really appreciate if anyone who has more know-how than Samsung tech support can weigh-in with some help.
Thanks in advance.
So I was going to reset my old s7 and wanted to backup the phone before I erased everything. I kept coming across wondershare Dr fone. Seemed fairly simple and since there were no scam alerts to be found just Quickly browsing I thought i'll give it a whirl. Should have not ran it apparently.
So I connected via usb to Windows and started the program - > Phone instantly gone to download mode and apparently the software is trying to root or set some firmware to gather data - > Software doesnt work and phone stuck in endless bootloop - > recovery mode gives no command but starts after hanging a few seconds 10 or so - > Do a factory reset from recovery and Log back into previous Google Account required so I Do it and do a normal reset - > Reset goes in normal but when setting up clean phone it gives me a Security alerts "unauthorized activity noticed" and deviCe Security guides me to restart phone to reset changes.
Really spooky not knowing what the software did! Can you guys please help me figure out? Didnt find anything on web that indicates Dr fone stealing data or hacking, just ripping Off payments.
- How do I know I'm on stock ROM and nothing suspicious was left on the phone?
- Should I flash stock ROM just in case?
- Can my personal data, passwords etc be compromised if I dont use the phone?
- Could the Windows app itself have gathered personal info somehow. Can I check it out from Log or such?
I was hoping to sell the S7 but dont want anyone to get in trouble with the phone. What do you think I should do. I believe this thread Could help others unlucky Dr fone victims As Well.
Tell me if you need photos. Thanks in advance!

So I found out Samsungs have an efuse that triggers when attempting to root and obviously dr fone might have triggered it. That would obviously also trigger the security alert. Any idea how it actually works? Does anyone know if this can be fixed somehow? The firmware doesn't seem like a custom but how do I know?
Also the windows app seems to have gathered the logs from the attempt and I have them in AppData. Could anyone help me solve if anything suspicious happened if I provide them?
Status update
Reflashing stock ROM fixed the security alert so it wasn't the knox efuse. Odin mode showed:
Binary Samsung Official
System Custom
Knox warranty void 0x0000
After flashing twice it changed back to normal:
Binary Samsung Official
System Official
Knox 0x0000
How is that even possible. No changes made but still changes made? I believe it started to do something and then crashed before knox went off. I have currently absolutely no reason to believe anything suspicious was going on in windows. Ran pretty much everything to scan in safe mode and all logs seemed completely normal, but this "Unauthorized access" in the custom system after factory reset seems a little shady. Checked all the preinstalled apps and they're the same after flashing stock except custom os had "Game optimization" and the official doesn't. I made the conclusion that something really did find it's way there even though that service might have been legit. That or system changes were made and interrupted and security alert because of that.
Reset passwords and using 2 step authentication so I doubt anything really important was compromised for very long. If you are reading this keep an eye out for this type of crapware!
I just bought a U11+ as an upgrade to my U11 and am configuring it, which is taking longer than I expected because neither of the two backups I did (htc's and Backup Your Mobile) installed most of the apps (or their data). Also, I've had two System updates in the last two days.
I got my custom background, the Keep Notes app (plus its data) and Facebook; that's pretty much it.
What did I overlook?
Oh, yeah... I cannot find a setting to keep the display on when powered. Anyone know how to do that?
If you did a jump to a new OS version or device that may be why.
If you did any major firmware updates on the new device, it's factory reset time.
Otherwise clear the system cache.
Manually loading them may be your only option.

That occurred to me when I (finally) checked the OS version and saw that it was 8.
I've been getting update notices for the last two days and the most recent one (the third) was the Android 9 OS (update # 2.19.401.2). Where can I check on official updates so I can get an idea when this will stop (because manually looking for updates this morning got me nothing, then I saw the update prompt a couple hours later).
Updated to 9, rebooted and verified that Google Drive is connected, but I'm still not getting Backup & Restore to work. Will have to experiment with the others.

I learned long ago that if your OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission, let it be.
I've been on Pie for 2 years, my last reload was 1.5 years ago, still fast and stable with minimum maintenance. What's not to like?
Unless you start screwing with the firmware and bring in new issues that need fixed.
Security generally isn't an issue unless you do something stupid.
There's no saving dumb bunnies... be careful what you load and download.

I did a Factory Reset (but it stayed Android 9). I did this because I had 'restored' a lot of files from Backup Your Mobile's (aka BYM) work on my U11.
Two things are bothering me:
1) The HTC Transfer Tool is not working this time (it transfers the PIN Code, but never gets to CONFIRM. After repeated attempts following reboots, etc., I have noticed that the PIN Code sometimes flickers off and back on again; what's up with that?).
2) BYM transferred my SMS and MMS to my U11+, but clicking on a text message that includes an MMS just makes the message thread avatar flicker and stay on the message thread listing (not even a flicker of the thread is displayed).
You mean screen lock codes?
First I don't password lock devices. You're the most likely one to end up getting locked out.
If you do use one I wouldn't attempt to back it up and transfer it. If it gets corrupted what follows won't be fun.
Pie's a good OS.
Clearing the system cache never hurts to try when experiencing glitches.

No, I did not mean screen lock codes. The HTC Transfer utility worked the first time I tried it before the Factory Reset, but it's not working now. The PIN Code is displayed on the source phone, but it doesn't activate the confirmation button to do the transfer.
I have since learned that many of the apps that were copied over via Google Play's utility also transferred the data, but not all the apps were transferred.
More research to be done, it seems.

My bad... I use Google search a lot and it doesn't need to be that specific model or OS version most times. Many of the issues are long standing. I even use solutions for other manufacturers models. Whatever comes in handy.
And/or just play with it until I work it out.
I haven't used that app. If you upgraded the firmware or are transferring data from another device these kind apps can screw up especially with app settings.
If you're doing a factory reset because of an issue or a crash they can inadvertently reload the root cause of the issue.
It's nice to save the homescreen, theme, icon setting on a reload using these though. Most apps I hand reload/configure or use the app's backup setting file like with Poweramp or DIGI Clock which are very intensive to set from scratch.
Critical data I save in a master backup folder(s) as files. Be ready to reload at any time as most crashes while rare give little or no warning. Redundantly backup critical data to at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC.
Most times a factory reset is to give the device a clean slate. Looking over app settings while setting them up helps to spot things you may have previously missed. It helps a lot to be familiar with the nuts and bolts at the user interface level. Many times when troubleshooting this is where the answers lurk.
I consider my first load or two on a new phone trail runs. After which it's pretty well sorted out for a clean load. I do the same on PCs. Android's are very forgiving but poorly written apps or the user can still skew hidden user settings that are hard to find/access on a stock device. A stable, fast load is a pleasure to use and will run well for a long time with only simple maintenance on a stock Android.
