[Galaxy S I9000 General] corvinson:
Hi all forummers,

I am having a big problem with my Galaxy S i9000, my model is GT-i9000. I have never root or do anything to the phone. Last night, I was just charging the phone as per normal, and when I returned to check my phone, it was off and I thought nothing of it and tried to power on the phone, but it doesn't work at all.

I tried with my USB cable, with another charger, with another battery but all in vain. I tried searching the forum for an answer or at least someone who encountered similar situation like me, but seems like I am the only one with such problem.

My phone can't power on, can't boot up, nothing, it's just a dead phone now.

Like to ask if this is a software or hardware problem, I tried connecting to the ODIN but no response, even my PC can't detect the phone when it's connected.

Can someone please help and advise??

Much appreciated!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Project1.exe:
try taking out the battery for some 5 minutes or so then put it back and plug the charger but do not turn it on
[Galaxy S I9000 General] corvinson:
thanks and I tried, still the same. But funny thing is when I tried to charge it again, I can feel some heat on the battery, meaning actually power did go in but it just cannot power up..

Does anyone know if EAP-SIM is coming in Android 3.0, already there but hidden, or simply not possible?

I saw in the link below an unsubstantiated claim that the Galaxy S supports EAP-SIM, so I wonder whether that is in the OS or if Samsung added support...

Cheers peeps.

PS I noticed a 6-year old thread asking a related question, but thought an Android-specific discussion might be more relevant.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcal:
maybe up to the OEM?

A bit of reading here https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_external_wpa_supplicant/blob/froyo/defconfig seems to indicate the possibility that it might be possible to enable EAP-SIM in the hostapd build.

Might be a red herring, of course...

Worked on HTC Desire

Hi guys,

I made it work without any strong modifications on my Desire/Bravo HTC stock Gingerbread (2.3.3) (but rooted).

Maybe it could work on other android phones.

0) deactivate/turn off wifi

1) as root you have to make the modification in /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf to add Freewifi_secure parameters.

network={

ssid="FreeWifi_secure"

key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X

eap=SIM

priority=8

}

2) Then you have to go to Parameters (Paramètres) -> Security (Sécurité) -> Set password in section credential storage (Définir le mot de passe dans la section stockage des identifiants) and define a password.

3) Make sure you have also check/activate the "Use secure credentials" ("Utiliser des identifiants sécurisés")

Then

4) activate wifi

5) choose to connect to Freewifi_secure (it won't connect to Freewifi_secure right now)

6) Then Add a Wi-Fi network, call it whatever you want but choose under Security: 802.1x Enterprise

7) the phone will then ask for your credential, the password you define in step 2)

8) Don't save the Wi-fi network and Cancel it

Et voilà: you can now connect to Freewifi_secure \o/

-> With further test, it seems that step 6 and 7 are to be done every time you reboot your phone.

-> For the explanation and upon my opinion, since you can't create Freewifi_secure through the GUI, the phone don't "activate" the

"use of secure credentials" (seems to be needed to use EAP SIM). And when you are creating a dummy Wifi_network that is

a 802.1x one, the phone open the access for all wifi networks to the secure credentials.

cheers,

F.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cuupa:
Good morrning everybody.

Yesterday I tried to flash the circle battery found in ROM Manager into my Android 2.2 system. Clockwork Recovery suggested to run a backup, which I naturally did, and then it started to flash the battery into the system.

Until that point it worked fine and never returned an error or something else, but after the first reboot, the battery was properly replaced but nearly every app installed in my android crashes (googlemail, sms, phone, launcher pro, and so on) and my phone went into a boot loop.

Trying to restore my system with the Clockwork recovery manager also didn't work as it should, so I had to perform a full factory reset. (By the way, I got the same boot loop after trying to deinstall crapware via titanium backup)

My phone is a o2 - branded HTC Desire with Froyo, HBOOT-093.0001 and was rooted by unrevoked (S-ON).

Does anyone have an idea about that problem and know a solution? thanks in advance ;-)

cheers

PS: please forgive my when i wrote nonsense, it's 6 o'clock in the morning :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cuupa:
Okay, I played a little bit around with my mobile phone and i figured something.

I made it to activate the plane mode before my phone decided to reboot again, so I managed to break this loop.

Now "only" "RSS-Reader, MMS, NewsReader, the Google Mail App, the "Google-Services-Framework (Prozess com.google.process.gapps)" and the Sense-Launcher crashes (maybe because I've a Mail shortcut or something on the screens, I don't know it exactly (using LauncherPro+)

I also read that flashing could set the ringtones to NULL (for the guys who aren't that deep into informatics: NULL = nothing; but NULL is not the number "0" (null-pointer-exception). I took a look into my settings but there are definitively ring tones set but unfortunately I can't take a look into my GMail app due to these crashes.

Try using Advanced -> Fix Permissions in CWM. It is supposed to help with FCs
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] metalron:
I had a similar issues on CM7 while the wrong gapps version was flashed :S
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cuupa:
Hey guys, thanks for your reply.

@frosty_ice: from the CWM recovery menu (power + "vol-") I've only the options of

- reboot recovery

- wipe dalvik cache

- wipe battery stats

- report error

- key test

- restart adbd

- process dump

which are listed at "advanced"

When I select "fix permissions" in ROM Manager, it throws the error "Error while executing privileged commands" (translated from german, I don't know the original sentence)

I'm using ROM Manager v4.1.0.0

@metalron: I did not flashed any version of gapps, I only flashed the circle battery "SuperCircle Battery v.B" found at "Pinkolin - Pinky Desire". Does this automaticly flash other components into my system?

greetings
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] metalron:
I think thats your issues, as far as I know you need gapps, that too the right version although most apps can be downloaded via market but then you need market and for some odd reason not flashing gapps or flashing the wrong one put me in a boot loop.. so im guessing its the same for you.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jizzo4mo:
I have an LG Optimus V (Virgin Mobile) with 2.3.3 Gingerbread with aospcmod-ov-20110415-signed.zip running before becoming stuck in Android System Recovery. It happened when I tried updating the rom to aospcmod-ov-20110427. I had the proper gapps and follwed the flashing rom instructions from romrepo wiki. After that we lost clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.6 . We then installed clockworkmod recovery 3.0.2.8 because it was the only one that would reinstall and it was recommended. Once it was installed no files from the sd card could be accessed so I removed clockworkmod recovery 3.0.2.8 . Once we removed cwm recovery 3.0.2.8 I was faced with the blue fastboot screen. To get out of the blue fastboot screen I had to use vm fastboot root. Once I did that I was able to go thru the full process of 1. Move all files you intend to flash to the root of your sd card (ex. aospCmod.zip, GAPPS.zip, kernel (optional)).

2. First you need to wipe/format your phone, in clockwork recovery: Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition. Under Partitions menu (or Mounts & Storage in 3.0.0.6) in recovery: Format boot, system, data, cache. Under advanced: wipe Dalvik Cache.

3. Flash in this order:

A. AospCmod

B. GAPPS

C. Kernel (optional).

4. Reboot System

5. NOTE: On Optimus V when first logging in, if you click "Sign In" it will ask you to slide of your keyboard. Just go back and press "Skip." You can sign into your Accounts later in settings.

All of the processed went thru successfully and went to reboot and it rebooted back to Android System Recovery. I have checked my steps and tried this process continually but it keeps looping me back to Android System Recovery instead of loading the Rom.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

P.S. You can email me at john60178@gmail.com:confused: :eek:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalfan78:
Actually, smiley face means its backed up, and the m means its linked to the market so it will show up under 'my apps' when you go to the market. Did you email the dev? He's pretty good at responding. Did you go to the site and look under 'troubleshooting'? Or click 'problems'? Maybe uninstall tibackup and reinstall it.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foraker:
Hello all. My name is Brian, I'm from Florida, receiving my first Android Device (Atrix 4g) in the mail hopefully tomorrow! My phone history is: Samsung A737 (few months), Blackberry 9000 (2.5 Years).

My plan is to get knowledgeable on how to use the android software on a very basic level over this week, and I plan to flash / customize my Atrix this weekend. This is where I have some questions / seek advice:

The first step being a flash to 1.2.6 This is the step I'm the most "worried" or "unsure" about due to the fact that I've seen youtube videos performing the other steps. But I'll just download the 1.2.6 files, and follow this guide.

Once successfully flashed back to 1.2.6, I'll use GladRoot to root my phone to 1.5.7.

I'm not yet familiar with android and the capabilities, but from what I understand, once rooted, my device can load an .APK from a SD card. This is for the next step when I place Tenfar's CWM onto my SD card as a .apk and load it? Once this is done I will have an application, according to this guide, which I will run, use Install Recovery (2 times), then Recovery Boot. This will put me in some mode :confused: from which I will install the .zip file (Gingerblur / Greyblur) that I put on my SD card in the first place. "Congratulations! You’ve installed your very own Atrix 4G custom ROM!" being the desired outcome :D.

My questions are: Does my Atrix come on 1.2.6, so I don't even need to do the first step at all? Is rooting as simple as it seems? What is a CWM, in simple terms :p? Is my phone's insurance ($5/month through at&t) voided by flashing / customizing?

I know I'm rather redundant with the guides that have been provided, its just that I want to be sure I'm not making any mistakes because I'm so naïve with the android software (lol I'm -1 days experienced right now, assuming it comes tomorrow). These guides are wonderfully created and I will surely thank some of the great developers (in a monetary manner ;)) at the end of my android customization. Your help is greatly appreciated in advance!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mudd_cat23:
The phone should come loaded 1.2.6 so no flash is required. After you get use to it run the gladroot very simple process to do. after that update to the newest 4.1.5.7 then run the after update so then you will be rooted on the newest 4.1.5.7 after your done with that do whatever you want. I am by far no expert. I too also recently got my atrix and was scared to death to do this on my own. Just read alot and ask alot of questions. Today i finally flashed gingerblur on my phone and love it along with the webtop mod. Rooting is simple the whole process on everything is simple now with that said i havent had to flash back stop through RSD yet so i dont know about that. Flashing will void your insurance unless if you can flash it back stock. Just go in the android development section on the atrix forums and everything is usually on page 1. Best thing you can do make a folder on your desktop with all the phones drivers and any files you download and also the rsd, in my folder i also copy and pasted instructions in each folder for each process so i wouldnt have to dig in the threads to find it. Hope this helps and like i said im not expert at this.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HotShoe:
I'm stuck. I am building a custom Settings.apk for a new tablet and I've run across an error I can't find.

Any dialog that displays a SeekBar or variation simply FC's with a null pointer exception. I have a reference source tree that is a virgin copy from the android git. If I compile the stock Settings.apk, it does the same thing at the same places as my custom version.

The error occurs in the BrightnessPreference.java and the RingerVolumePreference.java files any time the dialog containing a SeekBar or Volumizer tries to display.

Here's an example of the code:

protected void onBindDialogView(View view) {

super.onBindDialogView(view);

mSeekBar = getSeekBar(view);

mSeekBar.setMax(MAXIMUM_BACKLIGHT - mMinBrightness); <-- errors here

It errors at setMax with a null pointer error, like the setMax method doesn't exist. My build environment seems fine. Everything I've built runs on the target devices, but this one has me stumped. Has anyone else tried building a Settings.apk lately, and does it display the volume (in sound) and brightness (in Display) dialogs?

BTW, the target is Froyo

Thanks,

--- Jem
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MongooseHelix:
Are you sure the mMinBrightness variable is defined? BrightnessPreference.java as shown here instead uses MINIMUM_BACKLIGHT and is defined as:

private static final int MINIMUM_BACKLIGHT = android.os.Power.BRIGHTNESS_DIM + 10;

It is then used to set the seekbar max:

mSeekBar.setMax(MAXIMUM_BACKLIGHT - MINIMUM_BACKLIGHT);

You can also look at the onBindDialogView in RingerVolumePreference.java here. If you want to check whether the java files change from the version I linked(2.2.1 Froyo), just use the arrows on either side of the currently listed version.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HotShoe:
I appreciate the response. Yes it is defined and initialized earlier as referenced below.

=== Code ===

private int mMinBrightness;

private boolean mAutomaticAvailable;

// Backlight range is from 0 - 255. Need to make sure that user

// doesn't set the backlight to 0 and get stuck

private static final int MINIMUM_BACKLIGHT = android.os.Power.BRIGHTNESS_DIM + 10;

private static final int MAXIMUM_BACKLIGHT = android.os.Power.BRIGHTNESS_ON;

public BrightnessPreference(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {

super(context, attrs);

mAutomaticAvailable = context.getResources().getBoolean(

com.android.internal.R.bool.config_automatic_brightness_available);

setDialogLayoutResource(R.layout.preference_dialog_brightness);

setDialogIcon(R.drawable.ic_settings_display);

mMinBrightness = MINIMUM_BACKLIGHT;

if (Settings.System.getInt(context.getContentResolver(),

Settings.System.LIGHT_SENSOR_CUSTOM, 0) != 0) {

mMinBrightness = Settings.System.getInt(context.getContentResolver(),

Settings.System.LIGHT_SCREEN_DIM, mMinBrightness);

}

}

=== code ===

Thanks,

--- Jem
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MongooseHelix:
It might be useful to rule out an issue with mMinBrightness not getting set or getting set incorrectly by either replacing it with MINIMUM_BACKLIGHT in the setMax line or using a toast message to display the value of mMinBrightness before setMax. If that doesn't reveal anything, could you paste the relevant logcat output for the error/fc and also upload your BrightnessPreference.java file somewhere so it could be downloaded.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HotShoe:
I saved the dir's with my modified package and blew away the entire repo structure. I then reloaded the official Android tree from kernel.org. I have compiled the Settings.apk app ALL STOCK, and I get the same errors in the brightness and volume areas. A copy of the brightnesspreference.java and a log screenshot of the error tracking can be found at:

mlsoft dot sytes dot net/brightness.zip (I can't post the direct link)

The only change in the error is the line number (same call though).

At this point, I am wondering if anyone can build the Settings.apk from the repo and get it to display a seekbar or variant in brightness or volume settings using 2.2.1 (froyo). I am comfortable at this point thinking that it is in the tree structure and not my build environment. At least I have a place to hunt if you can reproduce the error on your end.

I really appreciate your help.
