[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwhkkwhk:
So this is my own fault, and to say it simply, my phone was in a pool (small one) of water. Every single thing works fine, EXCEPT for the home button. (the center button)

I just flashed Darky's ROM 9.5 on, and nothing changed.

Haven't tried wiping yet, but just don't want to do that yet..

Any suggestions? I wanna know if the button still works or not. If its a hardware (permanent) problem, or a software... since entering recovery still works...

Thanks guys
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
If you flashed a rom then guess would be hardware . You could try factory reset . Darky rom = no warranty .

Has anyone tried to use the usb air card from at&t for internet. It would be nice to use the to browse the web while I am on the road.

Let me know if anyone has tried it or know if this will work or not.
[Legend General] Pihkal:
Hi,

i want to backup my current stock rom (froyo 3.15.405.3) in order to "safely" experiment with custom roms or overclock kernels.

To do so i temp root my legend with visionary+ (wich is the only rooting app that seems to work on the legend),run rom manager and select backup current rom.

After this my phone reboots and seems to hang on a red triangle screen.

The same happens when i try to install clockworkmod.

Since i'm an unexperienced Android-user,i have no idea what i'm doing wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Forgot to mention: after i remove the battery for a few seconds it boots normally.
[Legend General] fabi280:
You need full-root to run Clockworkmod.

RomManager is just like an Android GUI for Clockworkmod.

Temproot is root as long you don't restart it.

To start Clockworkmod you have to reboot into recovery (the Triangle Thingy)

You could try to press Volume Up and Power at the same time when you are on this screen, then you normally should be able to navigate the cursor with the volume buttons to something with flash update.zip.

Navigate to that and press power - then you should be in Clockworkmod.

It works at least if you have root. I'm unsure if you can backup and even boot into CWM without root.

Temproot is like no root in this case.
[Legend General] Pihkal:
Hi,

thanks for the info.

I was aware of the fact that a temp root was only until next reboot but i was hoping this was enough.

Guess not.

So i'll have to full root,to try custom roms.

I'll probably try this tomorow...

Hope i won't brick it.

Thanks.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overheadsmash50:
Hey, My Vibrant's Wifi hasn't been working properly these days... Sometimes when i try turning it on, it will have an error. And if I try turning on wifi again after that error it will get stuck on turning on..Which means i have to constantly reboot my phone.

It's not my ROM's problem tho.. happened with Stock ROM too. =P

any advice? :confused:

Thanks. ;)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
Same problem in stock 2.2. What other ROM are you experiencing the issue with?
[Xoom General] sleeplessninja:
Hello Everyone,

This isn't anything ground breaking but it might be something that someone has not thought about doing to their Xoom yet. You can easily turn your Xoom into an FTP Server through a free application. And then get an FTP client for your computer. Then use your computer to upload and download files onto your Xoom over the local Wifi or Internet. File transfer between devices is really fast and works very well. I have a video tutorial running through the basics on getting this working both on your Computer and on your Xoom.

[Xoom General] cwizardtx:
What makes this more or less desire able than say dropbox?
[Xoom General] sleeplessninja:
Dropbox is cloud based. Your information is saved on a remote server where any device that supports Dropbox can download from it. So you have to upload it to the cloud from your computer, then download the files to your xoom.

This type of direct FTP transfer is similar to a USB transfer. There is no intermediate storage space, like a dropbox, you are directly transferring files from your Xoom to your computer or vice versa.

I personally use both. They have different functionality. If I want to quickly transfer a file to my android device, I use FTP. If I want to store a file so I can grab it later from any of my devices, I use cloud.
[Xoom General] wase4711:
grab an app from the market called Websharing.

It allows you to transfer files, wirelessly, from an android device/to a computer and vice versa, all through a web browser..

very handy for transferring stuff without a wire...
[Xoom General] mobius999:
FYI, all of the decent file explorers for android have this feature built in. No need to download another app.
[Xoom General] sleeplessninja:
Agreed. I was more or less throwing the idea out there. But there are many options and applications both for the Server and Client.
[Xoom General] orionshock:
What I like about this option is that it uses such an age-old-tried-and-true method of moving files.

Nothing weird, ****ed up, magical about it like USB on Linux that dosn't want to work 90% of the time :)
[Xoom General] marctronixx:
please try wifi explorer available in the market.
[Xoom General] Stone 13:
I use SwiFTP server on my Xoom & DroidX. The I just FTP files to and from my devices with Filezilla. There might be better ways but this works just fine for me.
[Xoom General] patass:
With as fast as the USB data is on the xoom (like a movie a minute, if not faster) i dont see why you would want to do this if your already at your computer. If your out and about then yeah, that's cool.
[Xoom General] int_19h:
I've done the same on my Nexus One for ages.

The idea is that this effectively gives you ability to push files onto the device wirelessly without having to go and find it. And you don't actually need an FTP client - in Windows, at least, Explorer (not IE, but the stock file manager) can perfectly well handle ftp://... if you type it in the address bar. If you also assign a name to your phone on the router, you can use that instead of IP, so you don't have to look it up on the phone.

Also note that we're talking about running an FTP server on the phone (exposing /sdcard), not connecting to other servers out there. "All of the decent file explorers for android" are FTP clients, which is quite different.
[Xoom General] Elementix:
Yea, there's multiple ways to go about this. I just use an app called Samba Filesharing from the market. It just makes your internal storage visible on the network as an SMB share. Works really well. I've also started to use AndSMB to browse my home FreeNAS server as well so that's another option I suppose.
[Xoom General] vamp6x6x6x:
I actually prefer awesome drop or dropbox(when it is working right) but nice thinking outside of the box :)
[Xoom General] zacharias.maladroit:
I can highly recommend "File Expert",

for me it's the ultimate app/toolkit - all in one :)

just uploaded 2 GB of music files to my Xoom via that "Sharing" -> "Start Share via FTP" function :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supasye:
hi! this is really doing my head in.

I have a 16gb card, im using gpart on ubuntu to partition the card as follows:

fat32: 13.53

ext4: 1

ext4: 299mib

swap: 108mib

after my phone doesnt recognise it, i cant turn the phone on, i cant flash anything in recovery because of an "e can't mount" error.

when i plug it into windows it says it need to be formatted, and if i go to disk manager and try formatting the fat32 part it ends up formatting the 1gb ext4 so when i set everything up on my phone i only have 1gb sdcard space!!

if anyone can let me know why this is all happenning i would greatly appreciate it! is there something im missing in the process?

thanks.

EDIT: the system does boot but it says i have a blank sd

then i get a notification saying: UIDs on the system are inonsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable.

with a button that says: i'm feeling lucky :L
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
You only need 2 partitions. 1 extra and 1 fat32. Fat32 needs to be the first primary partition and extra needs to be the second primary partition. You don't need a swap either. You could just boot into recovery and do it in there but that's only ext3 but you could still use gparted to upgrade it to ext4.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undercover:
Just partition it in recovery to fat + 1ext partitions, then download SD align tool from Baadnewz blog which will align ext partition and will convert it to ext4

Hello,

I have been using Tom Codon XDA wifi sharing app for almost 2 years and all of the sudden it stopped working. I have hard reset the phone and reinstalled the application but no go. The connection is no longer being made to sprint. Wondering i

Any ideas on this would be great. Or even if I can able tether would be nice.

Thanks in advance.

Try Omarket's Mobile Wifi Router
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] travissand:
No I dont know how to help with that. I use to use tom codon (and still can) but my Wii can not connect so I got a Cradle Point MBR1000. Im very happy with it. Now all my computers in the house truly are in a real wifi network with each other and can share files. and use the internet through the MBR1000. The mbr1000 gets the internet from my phone via usb. Its great. They make portable routers also. One of there portable routers can grab internet from any source, wifi, tethering usb phone as a modem (internet sharing) , cat 5, express modem card. And combine them for faster internet.
[Focus General] neoxphuse:
So I updated to NoDo bad to do a reset. Upon resetting I found out that it's still on NoDo without my apps, etc. Can't do another reset because I applied the Samsung update, and it would just go back to pre-Samsung update that is Post-NoDo.

Is there a way to flash back to 7004 so I can unlock again? I had issues with the live tiles not updating.

Samsung Focus on Rogers.
[Focus General] bshaf:
I would like to know the answer to this too... anyone??
[Focus General] thealanshow:
From what I've read you're stuck out of luck. The best you could do is try and do a warranty replace (but chances are you got NoDo via warranty voiding means) or trick a friend with a pre-NoDo focus. A lot of people have been complaining about how NoDo locked their phones and have tried to do this with no avail...
[Focus General] wspaw:
No Zune backup?

As long as you didn't use the Chevron updater, you should be able to do a backup restore through the Zune software. This will restore your phone to the pre-NoDo OS version. You will lose anything you've added since the upgrade (SMSs, apps, content, etc.).
[Focus General] roland05:
Not sure it's that easy - while I have to backup sitting on my laptop it won't regress beyond 7008. Zune shows a restore point but no joy.

Anyone try to do a restore using the WIndows Phone Support Tool?

[Focus General] SuperSport:
I used it, and now I'm locked out of Chevron. I've been trying everything I can think of to either revert back to 7004, Restore Zune Backup, or Force Chevron to Work, but nothing is working yet.

Any ideas? I've tried different Certs on phone, different USB Ports, Windows Phone Support Tool, Many Hard Resets/Formats, nothing.
[Focus General] Pinger43:
This may sound stupid but is it possible to take it to your Carrier's store and have them reflash the rom back to factory state?
[Focus General] SuperSport:
I also wondered about this, but my concern is that I might be placed on a NO WARRANTY black list...
[Focus General] John973:
Honestly I got plenty of phones replaced through ATT's warentee even after I've flashed them tons of times. (I'm talking about during the good old wm day). I never even flashed them back to the stock roms. Employees don't really know if you flashed the phone or not, they are usually pretty clueless. Just go to the store and tell them that people call you and the phone never rings. Say it happens often but not every time. Also tell them you've missed many important calls because of this issue. I guarantee you'll be leaving the store with a brand new focus.
[Focus General] munkeyphyst:
for these reasons, it may be a good idea to keep backups of your phone's backups by backingup the backup files on your hardrive.

[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Agreed.

However, roland05 was saying that the restore through Zune doesn't work. SuperSport about the same thing.

This is exactly why it's good to know in advance if a backup is going to work, as an exact replica or it's just something that gives some data back but not everything.

[Nook Color General] jabrams:
Hello,

I am about to install CM7. I currently Have Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 with CWM 3.0.0.5. I believe I need to update to CWM 3.0.1.0 first. Do I need to wipe / format the boot partition first or will the update to CWM / CM7 do that? What data lives in boot curerntly and what would be a situation / reason for wiping the boot partitition? When is it ever done?

Thanks in advance!

[Nook Color General] jabrams:
OK. thank you, but what would be a situation / reason for wiping the boot partitition? When is it ever done? I'm trying to learn about all aspects of rooting / cwm.

Thank you

~J
[Nook Color General] projektdotnet:
Not needed,running cwm will handle everything. Also the boot should stay so that SD keeps priority for recovery reasons.

There is a ROM Manager option to wipe data/cache, this should be done if changing rom types (ex nookie to CM7) but isn't usually needed between minor versions of the same rom unless issues arise.
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
It wipes the boot sequence, doesn't matter what rom you're going too, you need the boot data.

I've wiped it twice. Both times required I restored to stock before moving to a custom rom. Just wipe data and cache, and you'll be fine.
[Nook Color General] woot1524:
when going from nookie Froyo to CM7, you are changing the file system from EXT-3 to EXT-4. Remember to format /system /data /chache, and wipe Dalvik-cache within CWM 3.0.1.0 before installing the CM7 rom. By formating the three partitions in CWM 3.0.1.0 you upgrade the file system.

There is almost never a reason to format /boot. You will only cause problems that are annoying to fix.

Remember to do a backup in CWM before you format and flash CM7. You never know.

Hi everyone, couldn't find an answer to this on search, so I'm giving it a go. I'm trying to install the android revolution ROM, but I can't select recovery mode in the bootloader screen - the device automatically enters hboot and tries to load an update. When I cancel and reboot, the pattern repeats. Not sure what to do here. The phone is rooted, S-Off, and it works fine other than this. If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it.

There is a file on the root of your SD Card which it's trying to install , what phone are you using ? , on the Thunderbolt if you have a zip file PG05IMG.zip still on your SD Card after rooting the phone is gonna try to install it every time you go into recovery . Look for this file on your SD Card and delete it .

Hi, thanks for this. I removed the image file, but the screen is fading to black upon initiating recovery (as it did before, when I tried to do it through ROM manager/QuickBoot.

I tried downgrading ROM manager to 3.0.0.5 and I'm still having the "fade to black" issue...

Hi,

I made a Backup & Recovery Script in the German Android Hilfe Forum for the Galaxy 3.

The Tool make a flashable Rom with 3 Clicks and Restore the Backup with one Flash and one Click.

The Script restores all Apps, app Data Google Account and Wifi key´s.

How To:

1. Unzip the Alexgalaxys G3 Recovery v2.3.zip wherever you want

2. Plug your Phone in USB Debugging Mode to you Computer

3. Start the Backup.bat

4. Grant Superuser Permissions (6 or 7 times)

5. Your backup is finished

;)

In the "Alexgalaxys G3 Recovery v2 Final" Folder now is a CustomRom.tar.

Flash it as One Package.

If the Phone is started plug the Phone in Usb debugging mode and Run the Recovery.bat after it is complete you have to reboot you Phone.

[!!!] Please download the new version 2.3 v2.2 had a Bug in the tar.exe [!!!]
