[Q] Help please - Galaxy S2 i9100 - MIUI rom - noise reduction

Hello guys... First of all I have Galaxy S2 i9100, with CF root and MIUI 2.3.30 latest update... It is based on ICS 4.0.3...
I happend to have a problem with my noise reducion... When I have my case/bumper on, callers voice echoes in his phone, but in mine is all fine...
It solves the problem if I turn NR off in settings when i call someone, but it wont stay there...
I read some articles here that I have to find a line (system file and so on) with something like xxx.xxx.audio=1... Then change =1 to =0 and it should permanentely disable Noise reduction... But in that build.prop seems to not have line like it...
Can someone please help me... Getting desperate that people dont hear me or hear themselves twice...
Thanks a lot!!

Can you try to reflash the rom ? , and wipe your battery and dalvik cache as well as do a format system . By formatting , i mean like DO NOT CLICK ON THE ONE THAT ERASES THE FILE ON YOUR SD CARD . Use the one that says Factory Reset/wipe data and wipe cache partition before flashing the rom . If you didn't do all of those , it might result in what happened to yours . I do not have this problem because I did it my style .

Click to collapse
I did al that before flashing...
I will probably have to reflash it again
But I noticed a lot off topics regarding that problem... So if someone would find the value where to change =1 to =0 I would be very delighted...
Also when in Settings i Open Phone status... it crashes and returns to home menu... I can not acces IMEI nuber, signal strength,... etc...

No one??

[Q] [Help please] assert failed!

Hi all,
Sorry if this has been posted before, I have had a look but cant find the solution!
I have a HTC Desire HD that I have rooted using the AAHK, this has worked fine.
Next, I have searched around for a rom to use and found the Cibernodo Mod2Bravo V7.1 (English version) . . . I have put the zip file on to my SD card . . . restarted in recovery mode, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe Dalvik cache, wipe battery stats, install zip from SD card, chosen the Cibernodo file and gone through the installation process . . . .
I have done all of this several times, and downloaded the zip again but I constantly get the same results:
Mounting and formatted partitions
Mounting /data
Mounting /sd-ext
Formatting /system
Mounting /system
Intalling System & Data partitions
Installing Gingerbread Keyboard

Installing 3DGallery
Removing Apps NOT selected
Installing Cibernodo Bootanimation
Configuring installed files
Setting permissions of /data
Configuring System Files
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img","boot")
Yes, I am a noob, and no, I dont know much about this but I have followed everything to the letter as far as I can see ... is there something glaringly obvious that I am doing wrong?
To top it off, each time I complete this process a message pops up telling me:
Congratulations...
Cibernodo Mod2Bravo has been installed correctly on your phone
Click Finish, and restart your phone.
Thanks
Installation State: 1792
So is the 'assert failed' the issue here, and if so, how do I fix it?
Sorry to go into so much detail but I just want to see where I have gone wrong ... many thanks in advance!
[EDIT]
when my phone reboots it goes back to where I started from, i.e. the downgraded version of android from after rooting . . .

I will also try downloading and installing a previous version, V6.1z ...

Same issue with that version, so Im pulling hair out lol!

This has now gone from bad to worse ... I ran the aahk again as super user and busy box disappeared, thinking I would start from fresh again . . . there was a pause in the process and now my phone is stuck on the white HTC screen . . . anyone able to shed any light on this at all?

I've managed to speak to someone and apparenly I am not bricked and can run a ruu ... when I re-run the aahk it wont start as the error message comes up ... the phone is plugged in, the drivers are installed but I am guessing the USB debugging has been disabled . . . so does anyone know how to enable this from the aahk main screen with regards to the fact I can't boot into android?

Looks like there are lots of reasons for this... and it's a can of worms. Also, the Desire HD is one handset that my network has never sold direct, so I have seen one in eighteen months. I'm less familiar with it than I'd like... Just checking the thread and you're using the Desire HD, yes?
This thread degenerated a little and I think you've tried the chatroom too, but there are some useful pointers here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646178
And also here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645285
Good luck. Keep us posted.

Thank you for that, I have got to the point where I don't know what to look for anymore lol! I will have a read through those ...

P1000 stuck at samsung logo and losing all settings

Hello everyone,
I have a Samsung P1000 GSM tablet which i purchased from Jeddah a few years ago.
Froyo started acting up and Samsung was not releasing any new firmware updates, and so i decided to root and move up to Gingerbread.
I installed 2.3.3 JPJPC and rooted and things were good.
After a while, i installed rom manager from the market, and installed the recovery for the wrong model due to ROM manager not having P1000 listed, which was a reckless move.
Since then, the TAB gets stuck on the samsung screen, and i can tell it is actually sort of trying over and over in an endless loop.
After a few reboots, it comes back, but losing all settings (home screen empty, phone book gone, SMSs gone), and it starts with the welcome wizard (language, packet data etc...).
The bootloader at that point was giving errors about not finding android_reboot and unable to load the mcc ...i'm sure you guys know them.
I read tons of threads about this, but no one actually mentioned that this problem is intermittent! And no definite solution...
Attempts:
I tried loading JPJPD (P1000JPJPD_P1000OJPJPE_P1000JXJP4_HOME.tar) via ODIN 1.7 using gt-p1000_mr_PIT and then dbdata, same thing.
I tried using P1_add_hidden.pit, same thing
I tried using GB-Stock-Safe-v5, same thing, moved again to JPJPD, same thing.
The interesting thing is even ODIN would FAIL the complete (write) then after 1 or 2 retries, it would work (same setup).
I also installed the recovery CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS, same thing.
At this stage the recovery works well, and so after each ODIN attempt I was wiping everything...
At this stage I'm trying to figure out if the P1000 is recyclable, organic, or waste!!!:crying:
Can anything be done to stabilize this TAB ?
Thank you,
Bassem
EDIT:
After posting, i entered recovery mode and found the errors i tried describing above have come back again:
"E:internal mmc : open fail
Internal MMC checksum verify failed
# MANUAL MODE#
-- Updating application...
E:failed to mount /preload (No such file or directory)
E:install_application_for_customer:can't mount /preload"
multi-CSC is ok
now when wiping /data:
"Formatting /data....
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"
I am sure this will be fixed (which happed before) if i repeat the above steps, only to break again after a few reboots.

Device isn't working properly after wiping...

So I have a problem with my Nexus 5. Yesterday I tried all kinds of different Lollipop roms and at the end of the day I sticked to Cataclysm. I liked it and my phone was all set up but I noticed there were a lot of unnecessary folders on my internal storage and a nested 0 folder (0 inside /0). I didn't like that so I thought about making a nandroid backup, storing it on my computer (together with my music etc.), wiping everything and restoring it by using TWRP and then eventually putting my music back.
So after I stored a backup on my computer, I started my device into recovery mode and chose the option 'advanced wipe'. Usually I would do a lot of research for everything I do but in this case I was a bit lazy to do that, I tried digging into the search results of Google concerning wiping but I gave up after some unsatisfying results. So I checked every box in the list, including data and system and went through with the wiping. So because my storage was completely wiped I didn't have a 'WRTP/BACKUPS' folder anymore. I made a backup from the stuff I had (which was only a few mb's) so I would have that folder again (otherwise I wouldn't be possible to locate my nandroid backup). I wanted to transfer my nandroid from my computer to my phone by connecting it through USB but for some reason the Nexus 5 didn't show up on my PC when it was booted in recovery (this sometimes happens for some reason)
I managed to do it by using 'adb push Cataclysm folder' in cmd. I went into recovery and restored my backup. My phone booted and I thought everything was as it should be. The wallpaper was black but that was logical because my internal storage was wiped, including my custom wallpaper. But then I noticed something strange, my status bar disappeared, sames goes for my navigation bar. I really have no idea what happened because I've restored nandroid backups before and everything went fine.
So then I put a clean version of Cataclysm on my phone and for some reason it asks me to insert a SIM-card into my device while it has one. I skipped that step and then it asked for my home Wi-Fi and I chose mine, then it checked the connection way longer than it would normally do. After I was done with all the steps my homepage entered my screen and guess what, my status bar and also my navigation bar were absent. It was like my cell phone was in immersive mode all the time. Then I tried flashing the KitKat factory image by going into recovery with my phone and opening 'flash-all.bat' on my PC but then it said '< waiting for devices >' while I enabled USB debugging... I opened cmd and typed 'adb decives' and mine showed up, so it was connected (although it now says 'unauthorized' when my phone is normally booted).
Then I flashed clean Cataclysm again and it again said I had to insert my SIM-card and it then again checked the connection with the Wi-Fi for a couple of minutes. When I was done with the installation I tried replacing the wallpaper with one from Lollipop but it didn't work although there was a preview available. There was again no status bar and navigation bar. I then opened chrome and went to this website and now I'm typing this on my Nexus 5 which has a permanent immersive mode now.
So I don't have much in my internal storage anymore, only a TWRP folder with backups, nothing more, not even a 0 folder if I'm not wrong. There's something wrong with my mobile connection and definitely something going on with my navigation bar and status bar. I hope anyone could help me with this because this is really frustrating becausr I tried to fix it for the last couple of hours, unfortunately without any result...
EDIT: I forgot to mention that when I was trying to figure out how to send the nandroid without being able to access my internal storage via my computer, I booted in recovery, went to 'advanced' and then to 'adb sideload' and tried that because I saw it somewhere on the internet. I somehow believe this contributed to the problem I have.
EDIT2: Now, when I try to power off my phone by holding the power button, it reboots the device instead, what's going on... And as I said, I have a black screen as wallpaper for some reason and I can't change this, but if I open my weather widget, the widget window shows up with my chosen wallpaper on the background, what kind of sorcery is this?
EDIT3: I wanted to download a terminal emulator from Google Play to do this but I couldn't get to 100% so I thought there was something wrong with the app on my device. I googled the apk and I wanted to download it from Zippyshare and when I clicked on the button 'download now', the phone showed the message 'no SD card', so I guess that's the culprit of all of this?
TL;DR My phone is acting really weird (no status or navigation bar, phone reboots instead of asking whether I want to have it shut down when I hold the power button, the wallpaper being strange, SIM-card isn't being recognised) after I wiped data and system and actually everything...

Reboot to bootmanager , flash a factory image , wipe , start over . Something must have gotten corrupted in your nandroid backup.
Regarding ADB not working , you also need to authorize the pc you are working from . You will get a prompt on your phone when connecting . If you dont , go to developer setting , wipe ADB credentials , reconnect the phone.
Also , adb push works fine for single files but it sometimes borks when you are pushing big/many files.
Edit : I hope you didn't wipe EFS as well ( though AFAIK TWRP doesn't wipe it on a advanced wipe) . If you did it's time to return it to stock and send it to LG/Google

Thank you for reading my huge explanation. After hours of searching and trying a lot of things with my device I figured out how to fix it. Do you remember I said that when I tried to flash the factory image with 'flash-all.bat' that it responded with '< waiting for devices >' ? Well, after reinstalling the drivers countless times and trying to find the culprit I realised I was trying to flash it with TWRP being open, and not the bootloader... So after I was aware of that I finally managed to put stock Lollipop on my phone, then I wiped everything and flashed Cataclysm. It felt pretty satisfying to have a working phone again, it's a pity I had to start from scratch but on the other side, I now how a phone without any rubbish.
Regarding adb push, if I would like to ever push a rom or a big file onto my phone in case I would ever have a similar annoyance, what do you recommend me to do it with?
And what is EFS exactly and what happens if I would ever wipe that? Thank in advance!

Regarding ADB push / twrp MTP mode you jst need to remember not to try and upload the entire content of a sdcard backup or > 3-4 gigs. Big files rarely missbehave , but I screwed up my SD permissions when trying to restore my sdcard ( thousands of files and about 14 gb total).
EFS is a secure partition that stores your GSM/network id and profile - IMEI and so on. AFAIK it's pretty hard to erase but it is possible if you play around with format/repartition commands. Just follow the guides and instructions on this forum and it should be fine.
Corrupted or erased EFS = no network connectivity besides WiFi . And since tampering with it is illegal in some countries the only way to fix it is by RMA/warranty.
I'm glad you've fixed it - I'm not surprised it was a simple mistake , I've been there myself ( tried for an hour to flash a factory image unsuccessfully only to realize I had my phone plugged in a USB3 socket ) .
Don't forget to make a nandroid now that you are set up with your fav. ROM - it will come in handy sometime.

I'll definitely make a nandroid, just in case. Thanks for the help and the clarification!

Try wiping your bum more thoroughly

Any way to resize system partition?

I've been searching for 5 hours at very least and didn't find a consistent source so I think the new thread is justified.
Every time I try to install stock gapps package I get error 70 (insufficient space) and I don't want to go through replacing every modular gapp manually.
I also tried including the "Gapps-config.txt" file to exclude majority of apps but it doesn't make a difference, still error 70.
I'd just like to increase my partition by 500 MB or so.
I found "resize partition" part in the TWRP but not sure how it works, it does give an option to resize but it doesn't ask for the size anywhere so it's more confusing to me than useful.
So can anyone recommend a reasonably easy way to resize the system partition?

If you want to resize the partition, go to twrp, connect phone to computer and adb, use command adb shell and fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0 (not sure about the path ) then press p and you should get the partitions number and description. Then to delete partition use d (enter) (partition number) and it will delete partition. if you come to that point i will tell you what to do after thet To save any changes you need to use command W, so dont worry about messing things up

I've seen at least one thread with someone who had a script ding the re-partition but when I was trying to download the script and inspect it, it was offline.
I think it is possible to write such a script as I would do on Linux.
