Same issue. Device gets recognized in recovery mode but not in download mode ( used someone's software which allows you to jump from recovery mode to download mode). Also my volume buttons are not working so i can't even navigate in recovery mode. How do i fix my bootloop ace s5830?? Help

Hi wezzyboyrye

I have an SGS on 3 network, with stock 2.2 ROM...

Mine doesn't work with the 3-button combo either. There are a few posts around (sorry I dont have links for them), about using a home-made USB jig to get in to recovery/download mode for flashing ROM.

There are also videos etc on youtube about it.

There is also a fix somewhere on XDA which can bypass this by flashing your phone with some ROM tweak (I dont know much about this one either!! sorry)

However, I am not completely useless... just this very afternoon I rooted my SGS using "z4root" by RyanZA...see link below:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833953

It's so easy...just download apk, install it, run it, press whichever root option you want (temporary or permanent) then off it goes. Phone reboots and job done!!!

IMPORTANT NOTE: I did take a risk rooting without the ability to get my phone in to any sort of recovery mode, but I have read alot about z4root on XDA and its 99% success rate was enough reassurance for me :)

Good luck with yours...

Without even knowing your Android version this is a tough one to answer. Reading at least some stickies is indeed recommended.

Btw before you do anything with your phone you want to enable 3 button combo mode first - unless you want run out of most options if you soft brick your phone.

i know i can quickly depress/release the pwr button to lock the screen, but is there a quick method/setting to "lock" the phone requiring a password to unlock without powering down? i'm sure there's an app out there. just wondering if i'm missing something native to the phone or to bamf.

Why would you need something like that though? I don't understand the benefits of it compared to just pressing the power button. j/w
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.s:
I don't have an answer to the original question, but thought I'd point out that in addition to locking the phone, you may want to lock your "SIM." Doing so prevents someone from using your SIM in another phone and running up your bill.

I believe the default SIM PIN1 is 1111 for all VZW SIMs.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
I thought that each LTE sim is registered to the MEID of your Thunderbolt and is unable to be used in others. (without extensive EPST work) Hence the reason people were getting brand new TB's also had to get brand new SIM cards?

You didn't read the material Verizon provided with your phone, did you? Right there on the front of the Activation Guide: "To learn more about your 4G LTE SIM card, visit verizonwireless.com/4GSIM" Poke around, and you'll find this:

Maybe something like Anycut?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Ahhhh, so i am actually supposed to read those pages with words on them? I thought it was just packing material. :p

I've honestly never read one phone manual i've ever had. Not cause I know everything about a phone before I get it, but I just rather find out everything myself. If i had to get a replacement shipped to me I'm sure I would have found that out then.

But also, I don't know if you saw some other threads or not, but i remember people saying they went in and got replacements and had to get a new SIM also. They said the VZW reps had said that the SIM is not transferrable. I don't know for sure, just saying what was said.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyvideo1:
If you set it to lock phone immediately, it will lock when you press the power button fast. The screen will turn off and the phone locks. When you press the power button next, the screen turns on and you need to swipe to unlock screen. You then enter password to unlock phone.

I have done it this way and it works fine. Hitting the power button once fast is the same as if you had an icon for it. The nice part is you can be on any screen.

App2SD is needed when your "internal" partition of the memory runs full. As the size of the internal partition increased on Nexus S, App2SD is needed less than it was on older phones. If you want to, you still can move applications to the "sd-partition" of the internal memory.

Unfortunately it seems as if the memory inside the Nexus S is soldered to its board. No way to eject it except for the heat gun.

The OTA update won't go through if you're rooted. Flash using one of the methods in the development section, or return to stock and wait for the OTA all over again (which is what I did.)

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denniswcp:
i just flashed my Dell streak to StreakDroid 1.9.0 with BB 347-00, from a new arrived Dell streak with Froyo 2.2.2 15274 build 347-00 BB, but whenever a person calls, the screen is always showing 'UNKNOWN' in the caller screens.

I was having another issue previously which i cant hear anything from the other side but they can hear what i was talking on phone, then, i solved it by reformatting the SD card coz i suspect the it was caused by one of the app i installed.

However, the caller 'UNKNOWN' issue still remains, any kind soul mind to point me to a correct direction so that i can get rid of this UNKNOWN caller id ?

PS : I've search around in Google and forums , but they are no related to Dell Streak.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denniswcp:
good news, i've discovered the source of the problem :

the Mobile Service Provider didn't activate the option to send caller info to my sim card.

I tried to swap the sim card to another hp and try calling it , same prob appeared , it seems like there are some android users who's facing the same problem , but some of them are due to the phone setting and some are like me , due to service provider setting.

hello again guys

i'm having this problem which is so frustrating...

i was on revolution hd (froyo) and i had a problem with the market app. whenever i clicked on new releases app list, i got an error about "com.android.vending" and the app would restart. i thought "oh well, i'll install a gingerbread rom" and so i did.

i wanted to try the LeeDrOiD rom so i followed all the steps needed to do so. went into market again and the same problem came up. did it again. cleaned dalvik cache, did a factory reset, wiped caches, and always after each step i flashed the rom again. the problem was there again. in spare parts app, whenever i clicked on battery history, i got an error (again) only this time for a different process (logical)

so, i thought i should try the revolution gingerbread rom (since i was so happy using the previous version)

after finishing the rom flash, i went into market and the problem is there again.

the process is named "com.android.vending" and it crashes whenever i try to swipe the new releases list.

the other app error i get is when clicking on battery history in spare parts. i get the "com.androidapps.spare_parts" process termination error.

(gosh!!!!!!) i even installed a second app called BatteryHistory and whenever i click on in i get an error again. this time it's com.blogspot.aidizen.batteryHistory"

i really don't know what to do. is there a problem with the device itself ??(hardware-wise)

any help would be really appreciated

thank you guys. i feel really bad cause these might seem minor problems to you experts. i know am a newbie and i hate it spending your time with all these

Cheers !!!
[Desire HD General] frosty_ice:
First, the battery history crash in spare parts is normal because the battery history function appears to be nonexistent in Gingerbread.

For the market crash I would propose the following solution:

1.) Full Wipe in Recovery and install a fresh ROM.

2.) Set up a clean Google account.

4.) Use this Google account for the market, for the time being don't restore any backups or anything.

5.) If it worked, try eliminating these steps one by one to find the source of the problem
[Desire HD General] GeorgeKps:
Well, I did it all again from the start. I used full wipe 1.3, did a factory reset, wiped data, installed the Rom again (did a new download of it) and the problem is still here.

Market crashes whenever I touch an app in the new released app list.

It seems really strange. I'm thinking there might be a hardware problem since I changed 3 different roms.

Does anyone have anymore suggestions? I would REALLY appreciate it.

Thanks a lot guys
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Flash an RUU. If the problem persists it may be a hardware issue, although in my opinion it seems unlikely, if it doesn't it's a software issue.

Personally I would rather you did the wiping by hand as then at least you'd have an indication if it fails for any reason.
[Desire HD General] GeorgeKps:
this is much weirder now....

i seem to have solved the problem. i did a "market cache clean" from within settings -> applications -> all -> market -> "wipe everything".

it works but the funny part is that the interface of the market app has changed. on the top of the app, instead of 2 "listing" choices (top free + new apps) i got a 3rd choice of "top paid" O_o

oh well, the good thing is that am back to normal.

thank you guys for your time

Cheers !!!
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
That's normal, at least in UK, have google perchance updgraded market in Greece? I Know they announced enhancements and increased pay markets at the O/I.
[Desire HD General] GeorgeKps:
they changed the market in Greece so that you can purchase apps. obviously, the app was upgraded to support this but something went wrong with the previous version cahce (idk, i guess that's what happened)

i can't tell you if the pay markets are increased cause we didn't have anything showing. when i came to london, in march, i could buy apps since the market interface changed to support the purcase.

oh well, the good thing is that the problem is fixed.

Cheers !!!

When I start the camera I get this blue ring in the center of the picture, if I take a picture it will show in the picture as well. Anyone else having this issue?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brachiopod:
Is it a sharp blue ring, generated by software, or some kind of artifact like a light leak? Do both cameras have it? Are you using the default camera application? Can you post one of the pictures?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riddleric:
I guess I am the only one with this problem. I updated the firmware yesterday but it's still there, as you can see just the blue or purple ring in the center.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brachiopod:
Is that on the shots with the other camera too?

Is it on all the shots?

If not, is there some unusual lighting for that shot?

I ask the last because as a photo guy, that looks like the type of thing that you see with internal reflections with the IR filter over the CCD under some lighting conditions, e.g. an incandescent light just out of the frame at the right angle for that shot. Again, is it on all the shots? Again, is it on the shots with the other camera too? If it is on all the shots you might have a problem, it does look like an artifact.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djklmnop:
What you're looking at is refraction caused by light hitting from an angle (like lens flare) and bouncing around on the inside and hitting back at the inside of the glass and the glass is now acting as a backdrop. Just a wild guess. Best thing to try is to block the lens to kill the light completely. Do you still see the blue ring? If so, then it's most likely the CCD sensor.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riddleric:
It's on all shots and only with the back facing camera. it moves when the camera is focusing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brachiopod:
If it is on all the shots, you have a problem unfortunately. I just tested with mine, and you can get a very fierce IR internal reflection with a light source just out of the frame, but it isn't on all the shots of course. (see below)

Bit of a long shot, but if it moves with focusing, it might be some kind of internal light leak from the backlight. Maybe they forgot to install a little baffle or something. Turn the backlight brightness all the way down and see if that reduces it.
