[Q] Infuse does not boot into recovery when using power menu option

I am currently on beanstalk build 275 (android KK), but when I try to reboot into recovery via the power menu, it doesn't work. I am in no way blaming this on the ROM. Instead I am looking for insight. This problem has existed for me since I installed ICS I believe. If I remember correctly, it was working on gingerbread ROMs just fine. Anyway, what happens is the phone proceeds to reboot, but instead of going to recovery after the samsung screen, it proceeds to the boot animation. I have searched around on xda for solutions for rebooting into recovery via the power menu and it seems that in the ICS days, the only way to fix it on ROMs that had this issue was to flash the SGS kernel if I remember correctly in order to get the right recovery and also regain the ability to get into it via all methods. The only problem is that I know that most newer ROMs use scott's modified kernel if I am not mistaken since there wasn't much development for our phone in terms of kernels after ICS. This means that if I take another ROM's boot.img (which I know contains our recovery), it will not change anything since I am basically installing the same kernel. So my question is would I have to go back to ICS in order to fix the problem there first then proceed to flash JB and KK? Thanks for any help or info you guys can provide :good: I hope I can resolve this soon since I find it convenient not having to power off then doing the three finger salute all the time
P.S.: Already asked in beanstalk Q&A also, but I did not get an answer and also I do not believe this problem is ROM related anyway as I said at the start of my paragraph

sorry misread, wrong answer

did you download the ROM Manager app from Google Play and try to boot from there?
if it's not working then
I think I would:
put the 255 build and 275 build and Gapps of your choice into SDcard1
then wipe everything on the phone + format the 4 options in advance + format SDcard0
flash 255 + Gapps as per instruction
flash 275 + Gapps per instruction

if that's not even working, then I put use the "SGH_I997 Entropy 4_4_2012-One-Click-Heimdall.jar" way
but lets not think of that much trouble - maybe you don't have the right recovery - my version is v6.0.4.7

Go to Developers Options and click on Advanced Reboot.

The advanced reboot menu is already enabled, what I'm saying is that when i click reboot to recovery, it simply passes the splash screen and proceeds to boot
up normally...

I'll try the rom manager part and reflashing the different ROMs when i get time and I'll let you know. I already have 6.0.4.7 by the way.

Ok so I've tried goo manager and also rom manager and neither worked. All that's left is to reflash the ROMs I guess or flash the heimdall package g-noob was talking about although I'm guessing that is a package made for ICS, so I shouldn't flash it with KK. I'll probably just flash back to stock and come back up to really check when the problem occurs as in which android version it starts in. Thanks for your suggestions though I'll report back later this week (probably on the weekend).

I installed it and tried the reboot to recovery option which didn't work either in this app. Thanks for suggestion also

Flashing back has worked so far
I flashed back to GB as I said earlier. So far all ROMs have indeed booted into recovery. I guess on my way up the other times, I hadn't followed instructions in detail since I have not experienced any issues that I used to get so far. Hope it keeps going that way anyway once again thanks to everyone for your help! If I have any problems, I'll let you know (currently on Helly Bean 4.2.2 which I just flashed). The real test will come when I flash JB 4.3 and KK which is where I used to have problems booting from power menu.
EDIT: Ok so basically my problems start occurring on jb 4.3. I noticed that going from 4.2.2 to 4.3, the recovery reports a status 7 error. I already know that means the recovery is "old", but the thing is, it allows you to do an install anyway which I usually do in order for it to convert the file system and install the newer recovery which it does. The only thing though is I guess it doesn't repartition correctly due to that status 7 error. So I guess my question would be how I should proceed to get a 4.3 recovery without flashing a ROM or if there's a way to proceed that I am not aware of? Do you happen to have any links @eZdubzitmk4 or @Judge Joseph Dredd or @g-noob ?

sorry, I can't help you as I encountered error 7 so many times and getting to CWM was just sheer luck on my part
maybe you should try flashing CWM community kernel (I am not sure what it does, but it makes me believe that my infuse is unbreakable
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119598
and I did flash everything twice or more than that to make sure everything stick

Haha thanks, it's not so bad anyway. At least I can get into recovery through the manual way (3 buttons) and at least the ROMs install like you said. I was just checking if there was a way to avoid the status 7 which is caused by incompatible partition layout (which is why you flash twice by the way;the second time it ignores the layout and just proceeds). I'll give the link a try by the way.

Hangouts not sending MMS.
Hi XDA community! I have installed the official build of 5.0 and have rooted, debloated, and de-knoxed. But, I cannot for the life of me get hangouts to send MMS. I prefer hangouts to the regular MMS app as the picture quality in it is terrible and I like having my SMS and Hangout sessions merged. I have tried messing with APNs but cannot get Hangouts to send a single MMS.
Please help!
Thanks.

Flashing Debloat tool/Knox counter reset
I just flashed the stock rom and had a couple of questions. I noticed I lost root and my custom recovery which I expected, but still want to flash the debloat tool and knox counter reset. When you boot into the standard android recovery, do choose the update from external storage option to flash? Does the standard recovery automatically unzip files? Sorry for the noob questions as I was used to custom recovery and didnt want to mess things up. Thanks in advance.

Can I flash this over Rwilcos 1.6TD 4.4
I just want to verify I can safely flash this over my current 4.4 Rwilco's Mostly Stock Rom. Will Odin flash a new bootloader or do I need to do this before I go installing lollipop? Thanks in advanced for any help.

The tar will overwrite and erase everything, including root, and will update everything including bootloader and modem.

You will need to root with CFAR which is linked to in the second post of the official 5.0 thread. Then ODIN flash a custom recovery. I used philz. You will be able to flash those files only through a custom recovery from my experience. Your results may vary. Good luck.

I am unsure about version 5.2 but I installed 5.5 on mine and it works great.

Cross post from original thread since there are no responses and this is now the dedicated Q&A for this ROM.
Why is it with the stock ROM(rooted/hotspot via galaxy tools), Wifi calling has such a terrible lag? When running MOAR 2.2, Wifi calling was perfect no lag.
Any ideas or tweaks that don't involve flashing MOAR or another custom ROM since I am content with stock?

I cant say but we'll have to see how this release plays out since its only been available for several days.
I haven't heard any comments about that issue yet but like I said, its still very new. You could always try flashing the stock deodexed build I posted in Sprint android development to see if it makes any difference too. Its already pre-rooted with hotspot enabled too btw.

BootLoop from Deox
Anyone have a bootloop issue after flashing the Deox version?
All went well with rooting, original restore, etc... however, I tried flashing the Deox link file and when it boots up, it just goes to a screen with numbers, and android under it, with circles spinning like a clock above it all....
Or am I just being impatient and it is taking long to load?

Deodexed lollipop will always take at least 15-20 minutes on the first boot or when flashing a framework mod.

I have pandora 5.5 on Lollipop and it works fine as well.

Somebody please help! I am racking my brain on why i cannot load the OA6 full restore onto my sprint G900P. I had no problem restoring the leaked NKD Lollipop and have been running on it for some time. When i load the new software Odin 3.09 loads all the files and when its done the stock recovery does dot boot it stays at the samsung splash screen and freezes when it says " opening recovery" and never loads or continues.
The second thing that is strange is is it will not allow me to revert back to the stock NE5 firmware either. I am basically stuck on the NKD firmware. Some instruction would help, thank you.

Did you power the phone off first before going into download mode so you could use Odin?

Yes of course
Ive wiped and re wiped.... I have even tried to go back to ne5 and ni3 and I am completely stuck on NKD...... It wont let me flash flowers or backward from the leaked version but when I odin the tar for nkd it reboots just Fine.... Do I need to you a different version of odin?.... Im using 3.09 I see everyone else leaving just Fine.... I just dont get it ive been flash in with odin since my s2 im not a rookie.... How do I get off this base and.... It should by all means bout recovery after the full restore and it just sitting there after I flash anything else but the NKD

Wifi
I flashed as directed, and it is running. The issue I have is wifi keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. I was running MOAR and it was great, but it would not roam, it was stuck on CDMA. Now this will not stay connected to wifi.

Not sure. Did you also flash the wifi calling fix and toggles addon in Post #2?
Just wondering if that had anything to do with it.
You can try reflashing the full stock tar and see if its doing it there. Then try reflashing the deodexed rom without the wifi calling fix, test it again and then flash with wifi calling fix at the very end to see if that's what is giving you the problem.

Thanks for the quick reply. In a fit of rage about 330 last night I wiped and flashed my way back to moar 2.2. Only issue there is I noticed the OA6 modem is still on it and I tried to phone and it works. I will leave as is for the day and try again tonight using your advice.

Hey Ted, someone in the main thread with the same issue with wifi said he turned off Smart network switching or something in advanced wifi settings and that fixed it for him. Myself, I always uncheck all the boxes in there...

[STOCK ROM][5.0] OA6 Android L Deodexed is the best!
Loving this ROM. It has everything I need except for a wireless charging notification toggle. Would NKD New Stuff Rev. 1.3 run on OA6?

I had the issue with constantly losing Wifi connection when standing less than 10 feet from my router. I turned off Smart Network Switching and the problem went away. Battery life improved drastically as well since my phone was no longer trying to pull all its data from the network.

Debloat seems to remove Pro Audio functionallity
Hey tdunham!
I finally got a chance to try out your OA6 ROM, and I'm really enjoying it! I just wanted to follow up on the pro audio functionality I had posted about in the MOAR 5.0 thread, or what might be another cause.
So I followed all the instructions, wiped, odined stock and recovery, flashed the ROM, flashed the debloat package, booted up, everything worked fine. First thing I did was download the galaxy store so I could try the pro audio application amplitube and soundcamp, same issues I had in MOAR, force closes on Soundcamp, no audio input through the mic.
Just to make sure it wasn't firmware, I flashed back to stock, everything with the pro audio apps worked well. Then I wiped and reflashed your ROM without the debloat package, and low and behold, the pro audio functionality worked fine. So whatever it is that cripples it is in what gets removed from the bloat I'm guessing, something that wasn't removed in the International BOA3 based ROM either. I'm fine living with all of the sprint apps, just a few more boxes to un-tick and things to hide in the launcher, but just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else runs into these issues.
Thanks again for all the great work!

My guess would be the Samsung Billing being removed as was stated by the other person after installing the Samsung App it still fc'd. Just a guess though

no sprint yellow boot screen missing?
I had this issue awhile back on the first ROM that was released when the phone came out. The yellow boot screen is still included. along with pretty much every carriers custom boot animation. The problem is that csc file was rewritten to XAS, you want it to be SPR. This is the app I used to changed mine when it got changed. The downfall is that it wipes your phone and you have to start over, it could work with a backup but I usually just start from scratch anyway. Most of my data is cloud based so once I log into the apps I use nothing has changed. It also says it doesn't work with custom roms but it did work for me, on a dioxide custom rom. I cannot verify it works on 5.0 and I'm currently working on testing it if it can, unless you can get it completed yourself faster then I can.

I currently cannot download this rom as androidfilehost is down so I will figure out a way to test on boa6 stock with cf-auto root in the mean time.
On stock 5.0 BOA6 with root via cf-autoroot, I was able to rewrite the CSC from SPR to XAS/BST and back to SPR. It does indeed wipe your device so make sure to back up before use, or be prepared to start from scratch clean install of rom

deoxed boot animation fix
Ok a separate post for what I did. I flashed the BOA6 deoxed with CWM, flashing debloated and stock boot animation right after and before first boot. I let the device boot (10-15) minutes then did a basic setup to install CSC changer from the play store. I changed from XAS to SPR and let the app complete its processes, this included a reboot to a special recovery. The phone then rebooted with the sprint boot animation and continued to first set up where I then set my phone up as I wanted. I do not think a recovery will work as the XAS CSC would be in a back up before using CSC changer. however the app does do its job as far as getting the sprint boot animation back.
Hope this helps

ADB Shell does not work
I recently installed this ROM and am having issues getting the shell to cooperate. Whenever i attempt to run any command in the shell I am given a response of "Aborted". Any ideas?

Yeup, running version 1.1, which is really nice and smooth by the way.
Unfortunately nothing in there looks significant in terms of this functionality, so I have no idea what the professional audio system is associated with that keeps getting broken. Just to check though I made a nandroid backup after I set up the phone this time, then flashed the debloat (v1.2) tool...it was strange, it seemed like it worked for a minute, but then after not using it for a while the professional audio related apps started glitching again. Restarted, still glitched, restored to before I flashed the debloat package and it all worked again. It's been about a day or so and haven't had a problem since.

My guess would be the Samsung Billing being removed as you stated you only installed just the Samsung App. There is also a SamsungBilling App that gets removed also. If its a paid app its probably trying to check on something to verify its not a pirated app. Just a guess though [emoji780]

Internal Storage Double COunted
I'm having a problem whereas I'm getting notices that I'm running out of space and I know that I'm not.
I'm seeing a "/storage/emulated/legacy " path and a "/storage/SD Card" path. Is it possible that both are being counted against my total space count?
Is it possible to fix this? I'm backed up so formatting it or some other way that may erase just the contents of the internal card isn't a problem.
Everything else seems to be working fine. I haven't seen any of the reported issues.

battery drain?
Is anybody experiencing a high amount of battery drain. I flashed fresh last night and used ktoonez updated kernel to fix the 491 play store error... i dropped 30% battery in 1.5 hours this morning..

Something may have gone wrong in the flash continuum. For me, I didn't OTA at all. I Odin-ed the tarball and everything is fine except for showing I am "Custom".
7.04 Gb still available....even after the flash of TDunham's Deodex.

Unless heavy web surfing/app using, that's a little heavy. I'm not sure what your settings are, but I did find that the Ktoonservative setting doesn't do for Lollipop what it used to on KitKat. I am set to 2475 over 300, Conservative @ bfq, No overclocking and no undervolting. GPU turned up full blast. KThermal only and Thermald enabled.
I go about 18-20 hours. I CAN get more, but I never turn data/GPS off. We wanted Lollipop and we got it. Ya gotta pay to play. It drains juice.

This is just ONE idea(and it may not work for everyone).
I had the old backup from TiBu. I restored it(app only) and it stuck. I can do everything in Samsung's app store.

[HELP] Touchscreen inverted after flashing stock

Hello friends,
I had so many problems in the last days. I flashed the first INU 5.1.1 version on my G920I, after a few problems flashing TWRP. Finally I got the phone working and no major problems until last days when battery started to malfunction. Anyway, after that I tried to flash the latest INU 5.1.1 versión (G925IDVU2COGA_G925IODD2COGA_G925IDVU2COGA_HOME.tar) but the phone couldt start the Odin process. Then I tried anothers roms but nothing (all of them 5.1.1) after that Iflashed the TWRP and made a stupid "factory wipe" and then my device was softbricked.
The phone was on boot loop.. Finally, I splitted COGA rom in parts (modem.bin, cache, etc) and flashed system separated from the rest ROM. This worked but the only file that wasn't possible to load was sboot.bin cm.bin. Anyway, after that I tried to reflash COGA in one part but nothing. Finally I used the COF room (INU 5.1.1 from sammobile) and it was flashed full with noproblems via Odin but now my device has the TOUCH SENSOR INVERSED. whe I type in the right the letters on the left side of the keyboard are presssed.
By now I don't know what to do. Except that Im triying to flash a moded stock rom to get things fixed . I hope anyone could helpme because Im very worried.

Reflash again with stock 5.1.1 ROM via odin. Do full reset after

I just could make it happen. Odin and device don't let me flash but now im flashing again COF8. After flashin at least forty times different roms, and splitted most of them. I hope this help.
I have read that there's an option to make a "NAND erase all" along with flashing a stock ROM, to make a clean install after a messed up like this. If anyone could corroborate that. I have read most of the comments saying thats its a murder for the device but also some another good references, about making it wipe al that garbage from stupids flashings like mine.

You must have flashed the wrong firmware initially. Thus giving you this problem. To fix just go into your dialer and hit *#2663# then tap tsp fw update (general) . That'll fix it all for you. Next time be careful when flashing things, I suspect you flashed something meant for one of the edge devices.

G900PXXU1BOD3 rom, where can i find it?

Hi to everyone,
I have this unusual rom in my phone, as I have read through the internet, the XXU1 stands for a HongKong region.
The problem is, that there's nothing about such ROM on the internet, as if it never existed...
The phone was bought as new through online shop..
It has been unlocked through idoneapps. I use it in Europe. GSM and MOBILE data worked fine until I forced to update it through ODIN to G900PVPS3CPK1.
I was able to get the GSM to work, but the WCDMA network isn't available.. and the messages are split into pieces when I send them. As I've read, that is how they're sent in US.
I had tried many if not all of the roms, modems, kernels etc.. available in this SPRINT galaxy s5 thread..
but none gave me back the mobile network 4G.
So I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about such ROM (my original one) or where I could look for it? Maybe you have an idea what to do?

I searched for you. Here is the result.
https://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy S5 (Snapdragon)/5998/ITV/G900FXXU1BOD3/G900FITV1BOD2/
This page explains it all.
I think you remembered a character wrong, it is an F, not a P. if it is really a P, and you are sure your device model is SM-G900P, then you must buy a new phone with a wrong ROM. I don't think that happens a lot. G900P never has a G900PXXU1BOD3 ROM. I think you flashed a WRONG ROM in the first place. DO NOT flash the ROM in this post until you confirm that your phone's Model Number(you can check this yourself in Settings, About device) is SM-G900F.

Thanks for your response. The sad thing is that the phone is G900P. I have attached the screenshot below. I have made a full TWRP recovery of the rom before doing any flashing. I am able to restore it all except the modem, as TWRP doesn't restore modems.
If I put a newer ROM bootloader and modem and restore the backup - I get a bootloop. If i put an older one I get no signal and the lower buttons arent working. Though I found BOG1 modem to work with my current firmware, but it's not fluent. The phone feels laggy and GPS isn't working...
So I am looking for a complete rom that could work in this phone without any recovery..

Can you find ok4?? Runs awesome for me, use Odin to flash it, you'll lose twrp but then Odin twrp

Sorry for the late reply, you didn't quote me, so I did not get the notification that you have replied.
It's very weird that your bought G900P with a G900F ROM. G900P doesn't support WCDMA network, I don't know if it's blocked by software. But the link in my last post indicates that your reseller flashed G900PXXU1BOD3 for you in order to make WCDMA work. I don't know if you can simply flash official G900PXXU1BOD3, because the system with your phone may be modified in the first place. If you simply want to restore original backup with modem, drop back to TWRP 3.0.2-1 or 3.0.2-0, 3.0.2-1 wouldn't mount external SD card so you have to move your backup to internal storage, I didn't test 3.0.2-0 but I assume it's the least buggy recovery for G900P so far.

My mistake,
I believe I had tried to restore backup with those versions of TWRP. They don't restore the modem part and give me an eror (can't remember exactly how it sounds), but as far as I have read, TWRP does not restore modem. It is impossible. So I can only flash it by ODIN, but there is no such G900PXXU1BOD3 modem on the internet..
I wonder, what if I would simply flash the G900FXXU1BOD3 or never rom with F symbol, could it work out for me? Maybe you have read about someone doing that? So far its my only hope...

I don't know if someone deliberately flash a stock G900F ROM to G900P, it would have most likely bricked the device. But I have noticed a slight difference between the 2 pictures you posted, first 1 says baseband version is G900PXXU1BOD3, idoneapps says it's G900PVPU3BOG1, I don't know which one is more accurate. I couldn't find a seperated modem file of G900FXXU1BOD3, yet there is a way to extract it yourself, simply change filename extension md5 to tar and open it with compression software. After flash modem, restore your backup.
Edit 1: Maybe you need to flash CSC also when you flash modem. But no rush, just try modem only first.

sammobile.com/firmwares is the only real legit place to get firmwares

Help me!
Hello,
Curiously I have the same problem, I bought the mobile by Ebay to a Hong Kong user and it comes rooted and with problems I do not know how to solve, from the beginning the camera did not focus until suddenly by magic, it focused.
Now I want to do a ROM restoration but I am not able to find that version since from what I see in the answers you have offered here seems to be "trick", have you found any solution? I would appreciate it if you told me so please.
Thank you.
A greeting.
