I edited a configuration file for Bluetooth(main.conf) in which i changed the device discoverable for value to be 0 (by default 120). then i left the folder as is (r/w) mode and saves and rebooted.
rescue mode is available(volume up - home -power)
boot loops continously
Kies not recognising when connecting when the device is turned off
there is a backup of the file at the same folder..
if you can provide me too ..how do i upload to my phone.
need help ASAP.
try installing firmware with odin
Other better ideas!
I am pretty sure that this matter was triggered because of that tweak..(editing of the file). I hope that restoring the original file would help.
Do you know about adb...?
Also i forgot where the actual bluetooth configurations file was in the root folder structure
adb will not work on device in recovery/download mode
to use adb mobile needs to be running
you can flash cwm in your mobile then upload the file and send me the link i will make a flashable zip and upload it then you can flash it
adb is running...just
Adb is running (while the phone keeps on showing boot animation-samsung logo-bootanimation-samsung logo-bootanima....) but it seems that it has permissions issues..i unrooted my phone before using adb .
i can access adb shell and list root directories but cannot enter further directories such as data\ permission denied
I donot have the file that i changed and quiet cannot remember it..
Check on your mobile and see for
data/misc/bluetoothd/
if it has files such as music.conf,main.conf etc etc..then this is the needed folder..
can you create a update.zip
like i used for rooting/ unrooting .that doesnt need CWM
that empties the directory ,because it has some backup files .bak created by root explorer
loads files from your mobile
i am currently unrooted ..do i need root?
actually adb works during splashscreen
get the original file and push it through the system, set permission and it should work
if all else fails,..... odin
download update.zip from http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...5498d4d803e6a/4fcc0dd2/7/6/3/0/8/8/update.zip and place it in the root of your sdcard
go to recovery flash it you will get root then you can use adb
if it is not flashing first flash cwm through Odin then flash this update.zip through cwm
The file you sent is invalid. corrupt..?
what does this do..exactly.
i already have a update.zip and update-unroot.zip to root unroot my device
so
do i need root permission to use adb..because commands like
adb root gives"error not available in production devices"
&
adb shell
$ su
etc are showing permission denied.
if you have the original files on your galaxy y.. can you make update.zip with the above instruction
if adb works..i dont exactly remember the file path that i changed..so using the hints above please can you send me the file path
My aim here is to use odin or factory reset only at the last.
just root the device by flashing the root.zip in recovery and then use
adb shell
su
and it will work
No still get permission denied.... like always.
cd data
ls
open directory failed, Permission denied.
1. flash cwm recovery through odin
2. then upload the original file
3. I will create a update.zip and will upload it
4. you will need to flash it in cwm recovery
i will flash CWM using cwm.zip
i dont have the original file as i could not pull through adb..i hope your file may work
Finally i remembered the directory
/etc/bluetooth
the file i modified was main.conf however whole folder can be replaced from your mobile's or original one.
Thanks

backup-restore feature
create backup
edited the system.tar
put the original file
calculated md5 for new system,tar
edited the nandroid.md5 with appropriate editor and filled with the new calculated md5 of system.tar
advance restoore....select system files...
md5 check pass
restore fail
now boot stuck at initial screen
pretty sure even wipe data wont work
So i Had to resort to ODIN..Thanks for your time mate...
humm
I also think Odin is the last choice
Hi, I am new to Android and rooting and I am attempting to root my Galaxy S3 and I have been following mr.Robinsons guide. However I can't manage to get the .tar file I need. I download the AT&T RAR, extract it and see 10 or so files with Recovery images,boot image, mbn files..etc.
Why is this happening?
Anyone aware of what to do?

I reread his guide, just to be sure I got my instructions correct. You should have downloaded a .7z file. Extract that and now you have a .tar file. Do not extract it. Open up Odin, click on pda, and point it to the tar file.
Hello Community,
I tried to install custom recovery using this manual "wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_serranoltexx" (<- cannot use the link function, because it's my first post). I followed every step. At point 9 I have to make commands using the cmd. Unfortunately the result is an Error:
Failed to access device. libusb error: -12
I had two insecurities while following the manual:
At point 4 I had to rename the recovery image but I'm not sure what the recovery image is. What I downloaded was a .tar.md5 file within a .zip. Do I have to rename the .zip or the .tar.md5? The renaming causes a change of the file type and I cannot really understand, why they didn't put the right file in that .zip at the beginnig...this step is a bit confusing
To point 5: I deinstalled Kies and the device driver in the Windows operating system. Since I've done this, there are appearing two devices in the zadig.exe when I connect my S4. I installed the zadig driver for both of them.
Im using Windows 7 x64
I hope someone can help me, for this moment I don't know what to do further...
greets

I don't know about the libUSB error, and I haven't modded a Galaxy S4 mini, but I have installed CM on Galaxy Player. The tar.md5 has to be extracted from the zip; it is in fact a tar.gz file (tar archive compressed with gzip), but you don't have to rename it.
I flashed the Galaxy Player with Odin 3 v. 3.04, after having installed Kies to have the drivers installed. The Player showed in Odin with something like "ID:0 COM"; I then clicked on the "PDA" button, then pointed to the tar.md5, and clicked flashed, and it worked.
Here are my 2 cents :^)
Is your phone rooted? If rooted already it easy! For the most noob method, install ROM Manager from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager and ROM manager will install the CWM for you. From there, its pretty simple.
If it not rooted, that the first thing you'll have to do.

I found out, the .tar.md5 is also a compressed file. If I extract it, I get a file called "recovery.img". At this point it's not very clear what to do. Because there is nothing to rename. And even if you are right, the tutorial would be also wrong.

This is for installing the custom recovery, that's is the root, isn't it? I had the problem that Heimdall doesn't gets access to the device (lubusb error: -12). It's probably a driver problem.
However, I solved the problem by doing another method using odin. The root was succesfull. Afterwards I will flash the custom rom.

No, custom recovery is not rooting. Not my favourite method but it easy enough, try this: http://www.kingoapp.com/
It a universal root for JB and it will prompt you to install CWM afterwards.
After installing the CWM I rooted the device. I succesfully installed Canogenmod 10.2.1. The Tutorial says explicit, that it only helps for 10.2.x but I want to install the Nightly version which is running at CM version 11. If I could, I would ask this questions in the threat but I'm not allowed yet to post in the developers section. "forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474054"
Can I use this tutorial for flashing CM version 11?
I can't find any working root.zip file for my updated GT-P5220 LTE as restless.zip file isn't working.Plz provide me a link for the root file.
Hi all,
I want to root Android 4.4.4, as you may know the only way to root it to use pre root image file.
So I used "RK3xxx Firmware Tools by SergioPoverony" to extract "System" and "Boot" files,
No I have to embedded the SuperSU manually " explained in "META-INF\com\google\android\update-binary" then reflect all the permissions for the file into "system_statfile.txt" then repack the images via the same app then flash the drive.
me experience here is limited , can any one tell me how to follow the instruction in the "update-binary" file to install the superSu to be able to root the update.img ?
Do I have to use Linux or Windows is good to go ?
Thank you all.
