[Q] Keyboard and system files problems - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have recently purchased a Note 3 which is from Hong Kong LTE version SM-N9005 16GB, there are some problems that I am facing with it, firstly the Samsung Keyboard of the device does not work, when I go into settings, into language and input and select settings of Samsung Keyboard error message pops up "Unfortunately, Samsung Keyboard has stopped". Well there is another keyboard that I am using which was there in it that is Samsung Chinese IME but it also has problems with handwriting when I select it during writing anything again the same error message pops up that it has stopped. If I try to disable this keyboard and only the Samsung keyboard is turned on then continuous error messages will start to pop up with 5 sec approx. Well I have performed the clearing of both data and cache but no luck for me and I just can't find out the solution to it, other than these one problem that is also there is that when I select "Language" option in the Language and Input settings under Handwriting Recognition, Settings would stop by giving the same error as above, I think there is some problem with the system files of the Firmware 4.4.2 Official, I was waiting for an Official update to come so that I can fix these problems but no update for Hong Kong till yet, any suggestions?
Thanks.

Factory reset your device and don't install more Keyboards for avoid problems.

I did perform Factory Reset at the first place, that Chinese IME Keyboard was still there, I think the problem is with the system files of the Firmware.

It's weird that you have the same bootloader and firmware but... You can flash via ODIN this update ( it is the latest for your country in android 4.4.2) and tell me if it worked for ya. GUIDE:
1. Make a backup of your internal data.
2. Reboot in Stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset. Reboot in DOWNLOAD MODE then.
3. Download, unzip and flash via ODIN this firmware HERE.
4. :good:

I received an SMS with the word NULL in it. I replied to it, but the delivery failed.
Everything else still works fine.
Sorry, but good luck.

Obviously you've got the protected bootloaders, hence you can't downgrade. I've actually seen this error while customizing, and I think you may be able to just select a different locale, then switch back to your normal locale and it may straighten out. if not, then JMF is a fail.
my JMF no problem
Hi, my JMF euro, firmware from samfirmware ( boot protected) no problem ! + speed very good
Hi @All,
I heard bout problems with JMF, I actually have Rotohammers v4, which is the best till now, so what is the positive or negative difference to it?
Thx, jammysunny
I also get the same issue after flashed to JMF, it is the case when using samsung keyboard. If u use swype, the text have no mistake. I also installed cybegon chinese input and no mistake there.
I think the cause it due to Locale and text setting as I set to chinese (taiwan) before I flash to JMF.
I can still flash back to JJ3 , KA1, KM2 whatever I want, (I had deleted all boot and Sbl file in the rom package before I flashed, THANKS to Chainfire and Rotohammer ). The check.bat by Chainfire is correct at this stage.
But I got another issue with DXKM2 and JMF, I flashed to this rom from
ZHKA1 and have no accelerometer sensor & magnetic sensor response.
I think maybe driver problem as they work in jj3 and zhka1.
Could anyone give some advice? Thanks a lot..

It happened to me, the solution is to flash the file ALL to pda, CSC in csc and MODEM in phone also the pit attached.
You just have to reboot to set the languages of the handheld and keyboards and everything will work.
sorry my english ...
same here. It happened after the uro tab firmware. I flashed to jmf and there you. SO i actually had to flash it selcting Phone, pda, csc to resolve the issue.

[Q] Samsung Keyboard disappeared (GT-S7710): SIGSEGV

My Samsung Keyboard has disappeared. Whatever application I'm in I cannot type any word. Not with letters and not with handwriting. There is an empty rectangle at the bottom where the keyboard should be (see picture). It does not show keys and also it does nothing when I tap onto the empty space. Google voice typing does work.

More information about my phone and what I have done, trying to be complete:
Device type: Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 (GT-S7710) (no separate subforum for this one yet). I had been flashing a custom system.img to it using linux heimdall. After flashing the system.img it did not boot, so I re-flashed images from the stock rom (GT-S7710/PHN/S7710XXAMB5.html). That made the device boot again. But as said: it did not have the samsung keyboard or it crashes every time. Not sure.
This is what I already tried to get it back, but to no avail:
clear cache and force stop for Samsung Keyboard, Google Services and Media Storage
restore to factory default from system menu
wipe cache and wipe data/restore to factory from recovery
reflash with S7710XXAMB6_OXEAMB3.zip (a full service ROM with images for more partitions)
see if samsung would update the system (samsung wouldn't: it was up-to-date)
download languages for input methods and selected English(UK) for all
disable bloatware
rebooted after all things I tried
Hoping for advise or pointers into a direction to search further. Anyway thanks for reading.
The keyboard re-appeared and I would like to understand why. This is what I had done in the meantime:
installed Swiftkey Trial
had an update for Samsung Push Service
did a restore in Helium backup app
rooted by flashing system image with su binary
Thanks for any thoughts about the crashing Samsung Keyboard (and the mysterious revival )

My opinion is that you shouldn't be wondering why is it working. I mean I always question everything but it is mostly pointless. Like why did the chicken cross the screen. It just did. Also, why are you even using Android keyboard? There are much better ones.

It is all because I like to understand how it works.

What to do?

common solution for system apps or better to say preinstalled apps is to clear cache, data, force stop and re open it.
Setting > Apps > Camera > Clear Cache, Data, Force Stop
then try to re open app and check issue.
Possible solutions If problem remains
- you need to restart phone.
- reset to factory
- Flash another stock firmware (that u can find in sammobile.com/firmware) via Odin

Thankyou for your help but I have already tried your first suggestion and unfortunatly it didn't help.
I was also thinking I may need to Factory reset or flash another stock firmware as I have tried deleting the app itself and installing again but I still have the same problem.
I just find it strange that I cant seem to find any info on any one else having the same issue...
Anyway when I have abit of free time I will look for a firmware and give it a try. In the mean time any other suggestions are welcome.
Regards,
Gary.
Well I figured out what was causing this. It seems installing xposed stops my stock camera app from working as previously discussed.
The app is fine installed but when the firmware for xposed is installed the camera app doesn't work, when the firmware is uninstalled the camera app works fine.
If anyone has any info on this then I would appreciate it if you could share.
I'm also gonna ask in the xposed thread to see if anyone has any explanation or info. Hopefully I can get to the bottom of this and sort it out.
Thanks if any help or info is given.
Regards,
Gary.

Galaxy S5 Full Screen Adverts After Unlocking

Hello all,
I'm having a weird issue with my Galaxy S5. When I unlock the device I occasionally get a full screen advert that needs to be exited via the top left/right cross (seems to vary) or by accessing the advert.
Back in September I rooted my phone, then decided to un-root due to all my banking apps failing (due to detecting the root).
I re-downloaded the firmware (H3G-G900FXXS1CQD1-20170518173124.zip) -sorry, I can't 100% remember where from - and I'm worrying that the firmware might be dodgy?
When the advert shows if I open the task manager on the phone I can see it's an app called "Internet" with the same logo as the "Samsung Internet" app but with a different name.
Is it just the Samsung Internet app advertising to me or could it be something worse?
I've scanned my phone with various anti virus and anti malware products which have found nothing.
Can anyone help at all? Thanks in advance. I'm not allowed to post screenshots yet but have uploaded them ready for when I meet the requirements.
I honestly may not be one who can provide too much help, however from what it sounds is that it's an malasious app that has "infected" your phone or an app that you have downloaded that is causing this (sadly there are many apps like this now adays). What makes me wonder about the first case listed is the fact that it uses the same symbol with a different name. Could you please list the name for me?
Hello there, the app that shows the advert is called "Internet" with the same logo as the actual "Samsung Internet" app.
St first I thought it was maybe Samsung selling themselves out to allow annoying adverts but now I'm not sure.
Any help is appreciated.
Ah, still think I'm unable to post the pictures or send links until I have >10 posts.
Any ideas on the advert issues?
Yay, looks like I can now post links to pictures.
Here is what I am experiencing:
Sorry about the screen filter
I'd download the firmware package again but from sammobile if you didn't grab it from there last time. No full screen or internet adverts should be displaying on a fresh install.
Alternatively, you can use a custom debloated samsung ROM that may work better on your device.
For me that was the AT&T installed remote control app. When I allowed automatic updates at some point the latest version started showing those adds randomly when I unlocked the phone. Once I downgraded and turned off automatic updates the adds stopped.
Hmm, now I'm concerned about where I got the file. I think there is a possibility it might have been from: https://samsung-firmware.org/ which is now blocked by my antivirus with the quote "blocked a suspected bad URL or an unwanted program."... Concerning.
I must also have downloaded from sammobile at some point as when trying to re-download there it added "(1)" to the end of the file, indicating the exact file exists in my downloads folder.
Here is the version of the files by site:
sammobile.com: G900FXXS1CQD1_G900FH3G1CPJ1_H3G.zip
samsung-firmware.org: H3G-G900FXXS1CQD1-20170518173124.zip
Interesting is that the file from samsung-firmware.org is 1KB larger in file size than the one from sammobile.com

Re-downloaded from sammobile but get a "archive is corrupt" error in WinRAR
Odin MD5 checks out though.
Tried to flash with it anyway using Odin and didn't do a wipe before, after the flash my phone was just the exact same state as before, silly question but is that normal if no wipe is done before the flash?

Flash a firmware without wiping will "upgrade" the existing installation. You'll see the android is upgrading animation. After that, everything should be like how it was before.
In your case, a clean flash is highly recommended.

Chinese Android Radio XYAuto 8227L YT9213A Firmware Update(help me please)

Hello all,
I am not a professional but still ambitious and would like to solve the existing problem
Since my English is not perfect, I use a translator, sorry if some written is not understandable.
Coming to my problem.
I bought 2 years ago from Aliexpress from a reputable seller an Android. 8227L YT9213A
From the beginning, the device was very slow or lost the GPS data.
original firmware was YT9213A_00009_V001_20200408

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
before the failed firmware update
As a result, the seller sent me a firmware "xyauto_ui1_9213A_full_8227L_demo-ota-20200517". I copied it to a USB stick (rar file not unzipped) and successfully performed an update via the radio menu "Android Update".
Over time, however, I noticed that the navigation "google maps " always crashed. also lost the gps data.
about the playstore to update the apps brought no success. the problem was in my opinion on the android system,
it was still slow and not fun at all.
I have now contacted the seller again and informed him about the problem.
he sent me a new firmware "gongban_YT9213A_ui1-hw-ota-v6.5.zip".
after some research i found the XY Auto firmware download page.
XYAUTO
file manager
file.xygala.com
there I found exactly the same firmware what the seller sent me.
I copied the firmware zip file to a USB stick and tried again to update the firmware via the radio menu "Android Update".
Unfortunately, an error occurred, I have repeated the process several times. tried different USB sticks but it always came to the same error.
I think that this firmware what the seller is not compatible with my device at all.
I have on the http://file.xygala.com site then a previous firmware and that is
"xyauto_ui1_9213A_full_8227L_demo-ota-20200523.zip" downloaded and copied the USB stick and again through the device menu" Android update" performed.
This time I noticed that it did not come to an update abort. it came the message 1 of 53 apps are updated, but at "23 of 53" it froze and the system was rebooted, then the installation continued "1 of 9 apps" are updated. Finally the message came, "Update complete".
then the system was rebooted but the startup screen froze, the touch did not work. the image distorted and after a few seconds the system was rebooted again. this phenomenon repeated itself again and again. so to say "boot loop effect"?
then i started to research on youtube saw some videos how the firmware was updated with flashtool. i wanted to copy it. I downloaded the "Scatter-loading file" from the firmware folder the seller sent me "gongban_YT9213A_ui1-hw-ota-v6.5.zip" ( but I downloaded the same firmware for PC update from the http://file.xygala.com site
downloaded) and loaded and thus tried to flash. the " preloader " in the first row was not activated. the hook was missing. manually I could not click either.
Then I tried to load the "scatter-loading file" from the previous firmware "xyauto_ui1_9213A_full_8227L_demo-ota-20200523" and flashed " Format All+ Download" it started to load at the bottom of the bar but then came an error message.
So now I think I have made things worse.
Now the screen stays completely black. Android loading process I do not see. I see short flickering but it remains black
The seller only answers when he feels like it and doesn't really help me.
It would be a shame to throw it away. I don't think it's a hardware problem.
Can anyone really help me from afar and give me a tip.
I would follow any instructions and try to revive the device.
thanks in advance and hope someone will help me.
Do you have a 'Preloader' file?
Dont do formatting without 'preloader' file.
You can only do a downloading without this file. I dont know why flashtool even let you do this step without all files included....
Im using this version: sp-flash-tool-v5-2112
Then get the 'preloader file and use with package 'xyauto_ui1_9213A_full_8227L_demo-ota-20200523' you've got. Do format wit all files included/selected.
hello guys i have this head unit and i really want to change the firmware .interface ugly and aux deosnt work no sound equilizer ....
