I hope the problem is with the
NAND Write Start!! part.
I tried with three of the stock ROMs and getting the same result. What should I do to overcome this problem?

I have 2 mobile phones, a Samsung Galaxy S II and a Galaxy Grand. The Galaxy S2 has Android 2.3.6 and the Galaxy Grand has Android 4.2. When I am trying to connect the Grand to my PC, it gives me 2 options: MTP and Camera. MTP is media Transfer mode, and when I select it, restricts speed. On the other hand, the S2 has USB mode which works fine for me.
So is there any way that I can connect the Galaxy Grand with USB mode?

I have a really old Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos from 5 years back.
I want to boot into download mode using ADB. I am using the following command
adb -s reboot download
What this does is just reboot my phone and does not take me to recovery. I can boot into recovery though using
adb reboot recovery
I have tried the commands
adb reboot bootloader
also has no effect other than booting my phone.
I can enter into recovery the manual way using
volume down + power + home button, but why can't I enter it using ADB ?
What am I doing wrong ?
My phone is running Jellybean Samsung Stock ROM and does not have the fastboot/bootloader mode.

I have updated my Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 to 4.4.2 and after that I'm not able to change my lock screen wallpaper. It always shows a wallpaper which is already in the device which has red background. Home screen changes every time whenever I want to change but lock screen remains the same. But if I put a live wallpaper as my home and lock screen it applies to both home and lock screen. Please suggest something how I would be able to put any pic from my gallery as lock screen. I changed the lock screen through settings also but no use.

WhatsApp photos getting corrupted after transferring/copying them from original location to external SD card

My WhatsApp media (photos and videos) gets corrupted when I move and copy them from their default location to the external SD card. The photos and videos behave properly for some time before becoming greyed out and unrecoverable. Moreover, it is very puzzling to me that this does not happen with all of the transferred/copied WhatsApp media. While majority of the files get corrupted and unusable, some of the files are good. I have no idea why this is happening. Could anyone shed more light on this issue? I have a Galaxy Grand Prime +.
**EDIT 1:**
[This answer](https://android.stackexchange.com/a/203006/333809) looked useful but it claims a faulty SD card to be the cause. Moreover, my issues seem to be occurring only with WhatsApp media.
**EDIT 2:**
I took photos from my camera and put them in my SD card and even those photos got corrupted. **So the problem is not confined to WhatsApp.**

After some search people say the ROM must have the same baseband version to flash. But I can't find any Kitkat ROM on SamMobile that match my baseband (it's looks like Kitkat baseband is different from Lollipop's one)
So anyone can share a method to downgrade to stock Kitkat on SM-G530H?
I had previously installed a custom recovery (TWRP 3.1.0) and my baseband version is

My Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos is not embedding GPS information(Latitude/Longitude) in Photos taken from the phone camera.
I have enabled GPS option in main settings, and also set the GPS tag in the camera settings.
The latitude and longitude information is not appearing in the photo details.
I do not wish to enable the "Mobile Data" option. I do not need the location information like place name, etc... I only need latitude and longitude information.
What other setting am I missing?

I'm using CM13 (13.0-20160716-UNOFFICIAL-i9082) for my Samsung Galaxy grand(gt-19082)
I have flashed it several times. But a few days (it worked fine for 2-3 days) after the above version was flashed, all of a sudden my media volume became too low. I have tried disabling and re-enabling my default music player. Still the problem persists.
No other volumes has been affected, and everything else is working just fine.
I can merely hear the volume when i play a song in any of my music players (tried about 3 of them).
Everything(including media volume) is perfect over the earphones.
**Edit:** The volume works fine in MX player, provided the HW+ (Hardware acceleration) is enabled.

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Grand and I have not much apps installed: in fact just about 3 apps besides the pre-installed apps, but still I have no space when I'm downloading apps like Skype and Candy Crush.
On the process of updating my phone I get this message, that there is an insufficient space; the phone too shows a lot of used up space. I have an 8GB microSD card, which is hardly used.
Please help me on this.
