[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
You can get rid of the update.zip if you're using CWM 3.x (or even most 2.5.x). If you aren't applying update.zip to get into CWM, then the update.zip is useless.

As for restoring data from an nandroid backup, you could possibly do that, but you'd have to restore only data, and even then you may run into problems. It's likely safest to use Titanium Backup, and only backup non-system apps/data. I just did a restore today via Titanium Backup, and it only took like 5 minutes, and I didn't see any hassle with it. Did you purchase Titanium Backup, or are you using the free version? Using the paid version may make restoring a little more painless for you.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirzahodzic:
Hello...

I have a problem with my SGS. I was on Darky 9.5, and decided to upgrade to JVB. I had CWM & working recovery on Darky 9.5, I disabled lagfix, and I downloaded deodexed JVB rom - in a zip file. I flashed it trough cwm, and it worked. With some issues. The rom (JVB) worked fine, but dialer app force closed a lot, and it was slow, gps badly working etc... I rooted trough odin with chainfires kernel 3.1 and then flashed a small zip file that enabled overscroll glow effect. And all of those things worked. I tried to flash to stock rom using odin and download mode but when I connect my sgs, my pc cannot recognize it. It says "USB device not recognised". So I cannot use ODIN, and also all of a sudden, i cannot enter cwm, even with 3 button combo. I tried this on 3 computers, and I have a second SGS which works fine, including download mode & odin DOES recognise it. So drivers should be fine. Anyone have a solution to this problem? I CAN start DOWNLOAD mode but 3 PC's don't recognize it. And my other SGS works on ALL 3 PC's.

Oh, I fogote to write. I directly flashed 2.3 JVB cwm zip (deodex. file) from cwm (darky 9.5) and that didnt't update bootloaders. The JVB rom booted and worked fine, but after powering on sgs displayed a weird looking boot screen, but the rom booted successfully anyway.

I would really appriciate your help.

Thanks.

MMS doesn't work in the Community Rom, at least not with the included messaging apk.

But in the post for the Comm ROM under patches they have the "Samsung MMS" patch which makes the mms work fine.

At least that was my expierence, it fixed my MMS problems (same as you described).

Awesome, thank you for your insight and response
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lttldvl:
This is possibly a low priority bug, but one I wished to report anyway.

I would have reported this directly in the ROM thread, but apparently having 11 posts isn't enough to post (although is says that I must have more than 10 posts... maybe an XDA bug?).

Anyway, Something I've noticed is that when using the stock Samsung microphone earbuds that come with the phone, you can listen to music fine. When a call comes in, nothing. The person on the other end cant hear a thing (even though you can hear them through the headphones), so the only way to fix this in the meantime is to disconnect the headphones from the phone and talk without it.

I will mention though that when the headphones are connected to the phone, there is a headset icon that appears on the notification bar.

It's probably the only thing that's frustrating me enough to move away from this otherwise fantastic rom. I think that the dev's have done an absolutely brilliant job in getting it on to the SGS. Im proud to be counted as a current user of the rom. Keep up the good work, and hopefully this minor glitch can be ironed out when you get the chance to :D

so here is the deal. i have an evo that is having some problems.

i have ran the RUU and got the thing updated to the latest OTA.

i am not rooted and cant flash a recovery at all.

Currently the bootloader is S-OFF and and all. when i try and get into the recovery i cant get there it just gives me a red triangle and phone in the background. i cant flash a recovery from fastboot. it tells me that its not allowed. i have tried unrevoked recovery flasher to no avail.

can someone point me in the right direction to get a recovery on my phone.

HW Version 3

hboot 2.10.0001

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totalanonymity:
As far as I know, you place the PC36IMG.zip (named exactly as such, too, making sure you aren't naming it .zip.zip, as well) in the root of your SD card and load into your bootloader. From there, it will automatically detect the file within a few moments of loading up into your bootloader and you select the appropriate steps, given the on-screen instructions, to flash the PC36IMG file, which will be your recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curtis8523:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Usually with bad random rebooting, nothing will help. Download the s-on zip from the unrevoked website, flash it in recovery, then run the RUU again. You should be stock, s-on. Then take it to Sprint & have them replace it.

Nearly Impossible to pack roms as kdz file.

First of all can I verify your phone version? If it's 2.2.1/2.2.2

You can easily root your phone without downgrading it

Firstly you would want to root the phone. http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1044765

Download Gingerbreak

- Make sure USB debugging is enabled(Can be enabled through settings)

- Make sure you have an SD card (formatted and) inserted

- Place the app onto the root of your SD card

- Open the APK, press the root button

- Wait a few minutes. If there are no problems, the device will reboot (note that the reboot itself can take like 10 minutes due to cache wipe)

Congratulations the phone is rooted.

[Acer Iconia A500] gh123man:
just a quick question. after reading about the specs the iconia a500 should have 1gb of ram. in application settings it looks like it adds up to 512mb? is this correct?
[Acer Iconia A500] Signo371:
This is not correct. Go to Settings> About Tablet>Device Information and scroll down to RAM size.
[Acer Iconia A500] gh123man:
okay thanks. I'm actually at staples now and. Checked the xoom and the iconia displays and they have the same issue
[Acer Iconia A500] Dalrimple:
I believe the 1 GB advertisement (on Xoom and actually all other Honeycomb models), is 512 MB of onboard ram, and 512 MB for the video card.

Thus adding to 1 GB.

I believe this is a "standard" (yeah, frustrating, but true). All Honeycomb tablets advertising 1 GB of ram actually mean 512 MB onboard, and 512 MB on video.
[Acer Iconia A500] gh123man:
thank you so much for clearing that up!
[Acer Iconia A500] life02:
I believe it is 1gb of system ram (possibly shared on demand with the video hardware)... Using Advanced Task Killer when I clear the running tasks I see 445MB free. There is no way the system is running on just 55MB. I'm guessing Honeycomb just uses a lot of ram in background system processes.

The running applications on mine are using 149MB with 455MB free right now but I don't think that number accounts for all of the background services. Anyway it's not a dedicated 512/512 ram split.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JordanT92:
I have a Desire HD, rooted with Visionary, ENG S-OFF, Radio S-OFF, Super-CID and SimUnlock'd, I installed ClockworkMod using ROM Manager and chose to boot into recovery, the phone now doesn't boot whatsoever, when turning on it vibrates 3 times and the amber LED flashes continuously about every second. If I hold down and press power, the phone vibrates 5 times and a green LED flashes instead, but nothing on the screen. Back and Power does the same as turning it on normally. When plugged into USB, my computer searches for the Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM driver which it cannot find...

Does anyone have any idea how I can get the phone into recovery mode, fastboot mode, or any other mode where I can flash a RUU?

Thanks, Jordan.

:::im not sure about this, and whatever happens, im not responsible, this is entirely your decision:::

Take your battery out, then try and flash into recovery mode

If you get into recovery mode then either install a new Rom or if you backup your Rom restore it

If u flashed a 2.x.x.x version of CWM u could try use the bug thats now corrected in 3.x versions.

As long as your DHD vibrates, shows LED.. it is not bricked if I am not wrong. Wait for some senior member to reply your question. You might need to erase recovery via fast boot (just a thought, I am not sure).

Can't get into fastboot mode because pressing down and power just makes the phone vibrate 5 times and show a green LED. The phone failed to boot after installing CWM, which was v3 anyway, but obviously isn't present if it fails to boot into recovery in any form. I sent the phone away with Vodafone to get repaired under warranty, but they sent it back today saying it's water damaged and they won't go any further into fixing it. My house mate dropped the phone in the bath once, it worked fine afterwards, no problems whatsoever until now. It's obviously not water damage that caused this, but vodafone refuses to take a look...
