Phone Info wont go away - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Does any one know how to get rid of this text? It happened after i flashed a pre rooted rom and i have gone back to stock and it is still there.
Thanks

You have looked over developer options and what gives there? Factory reset does not help? Or maybe you should give it a try with CWM recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache?

Same thing happened to me today, but a little bit more messed up :/
Computer just died in the middle of flash!!
Had no phone info or internal storage. Nothing worked.
Couldn't install anything as I didn't have internal storage.
For some reason i couldn't get any filetransfer to external sd to work.
Nothing I flashed with odin didn't help either.
Could not restore efs from previous made backup.
I finally found mmcblk0p11.img & mmcblk0p12.img and was able to restore efs & modemfs partitions
Code:
adb push mmcblk0p12.img /storage/extSdCard/mmcblk0p12.img
adb push mmcblk0p11.img /storage/extSdCard/mmcblk0p11.img
adb shell
dd if=/storage/extSdCard/mmcblk0p12.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12
dd if=/storage/extSdCard/mmcblk0p11.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
exit
All good now :laugh:

[Q] Fonts flash failed. Bricked

Here is the problem, please someone help me out here.
i tried to change the fonts, (revolution hd 9 rom), i did it in the system using es root explorer. changed these fonts and permissions. Restated the machine. then it got stuck on HTC ONE logo. did a cache wipe and permission fix, nothing changed. then i used adb to replace those fonts to the original one. using adb push *****.ttf /system/font/****.ttf (double checked in the recovery mode that /system/ has been mounted)
adb shell chmod 644 /system/font/****.ttf
after that, cache wiped, permission checked . still , not going anywhere. i am totally out of idea now. please someone sort me out.

Then youre not bricked. Bricked means your phone is dead...like a brick.
Try clearing dalvic and cache. If that doesnt fix it, reflash your ROM after a full wipe.

Here's a list of commands. I imagine you could push a rom over or try installing a rom via a USB drive. I pretty sure you're far from bricked. Make sure you flash the RIGHT one too. Don't go flashing versions that are not made for your phone

use the all in one tool in in the android development folder. then you can ADB push a file over to through CWM or you can sideload it as well.

i would use the all in one toolkit.
first: erase cache
second: flash recovery
third: adb sideload
you need to be in bootloader and it should say fastboot usb at the top if it doesnt then press power button once.
if you are having trouble with adb you might have to reinstall the drivers. that can be done with the toolkit also

i tried it many times, no use.... im pretty sure, that this cwm (6.0.2.8 and 6.0.3.2) are buggy
CWM
Factory reset wipe
Mount and format system
Format sdcard
Mount system again
Wipe dalvik cache
Flash ROM
Flash gapps
The problem isn't cwm(flash it again and see)
I only had a problem upgrading to 6.0.3.2
The only differences I've seen are the cwm startup and background and it takes about 1 or 2 secs longer to format system but it works flawlessly nonetheless...

Try the sticky bit fix from general that worked for me when I had problems upgrading then use myth tools and flash stock jb then go from there...as long as the phone works you don't need a new one! And make sure you have snapdragon fast boot files...

i have flashed stock with all possible ways numerous number of times.. with fastboot, rsd lite, myth tools etc.. i have also did a full wipe (system, radio, sd card, cache everything) and tried installing from scrap, that too dint help me...
Just trying yo give you hope man! Get a new phone if you can then...just seems that since it worked until you did something that it could be undone I'm surprised that you didn't backup...also exactly what caused this so that no one ever does that?

Did you try loading the Motorola USB drivers? Not sure if that would help.
I immediately rooted, unlocked the bootloader, and flashed CWM 6.0.2.8 as soon as I got my new AHD and haven't had any problems with CWM in terms of flashing various roms, backing up roms, and restoring roms.
BTW, I have looked around and I could not find a method to re-lock the bootloader. How did you try to re-lock?
You can't re lock it.

Yup me too...we are missing something...I know most of our recoveries were built of xt925's...maybe that is the issue...who knows...
one thing to try is to make sure that your devices id is in the 99android rules file in rules.d if you are using linux.

Just wipe cache and dalvik from recovery, if that won't to the job then you'll have to wipe data as well.
If you have backup, wipe data, restart to recovery, go to restire, advance restore and restore data only...
