Hi. I am recieving a new phone in the mail today and need to reset my original phone to Stock Settings. I utilized Unrevoked and changed the splash screen to their custom screen. Any idea how I'd set my phone back? I know I need to get the original flash and such. I'm just not sure how to go about it.

Hi guys,

I have a Xoom Wifi and I would love to be able to stream my music to a Wifi device that plugs into a set of speakers or receiver. I have .mp3s on my xoom and I listen to a lot of internet radio.

Are there any solutions that will send all sound from my Xoom to an audio catcher over wifi? Bluetooth is unreliable. I heard the Squeezebox works but am I limited to only the apps they setup?

Thank you in advance

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pastalero:
So before I decided to flash unrevoked forever I was happily flashing through roms

without any worries..maybe flip flopping between the GB and Froyo without going above

And beyond a standard 2x wipe had something to do with this?

I go back to the 6.11 radio from 5.6 so I can flash the unrevoked forever. I flash the radio,get

rid of the pmb file and put URF in the root of SD and flash it in recovery,no error messages

and next I boot a custom splash,all is well..

I decide to go back to the new radio leak

I realize hours later that I can't send or receive txt or make calls;big red basically was

Rejecting my phone. After much searching I give up

I turned s back on and gave em a ring,basically I had to use the dialer to open up the radio and change like one #,then all was gravy with service. I'm now happily re rooted and running magnolia(i love this Rom)

Sorry it was so long winded but,what did I do wrong?

Did URF screw the radio?

Do I even need to use URF?

Was it the ROM switching?

Hello again, i have a rooted/S-OFF Desire HD and tonight i attempted to flash a new kernel using this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=852357 and following the instructions.

I flashed the Lee's Kernel 3.1.1 found in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1077180. After the flash, module appliance and reboot, all seemed fine but i got a wifi error. Each time i tried to turn on the wifi all i got was error.

There was a similar if not same issue in this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=852357 but the OP resolved it via re-flash, and no actual answer was given

are there any ways and methods i can work this around and regain my wifi access?

Hi,

I tried the iphone 2G trick to get Unlimited data (2G).

I get it, and put back the sim in my SGS2.

And it still get the speed of HSPA

Weird

is it safer now to move to Personal Smartphone dataplan (30 vs 20)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve228uk:
What's the iPhone 2G trick? It'd still be HSDPA speeds as that's what the SIM allows. The phone is restricted to to 2G and the carried will be able to see what speeds you're getting and move you to a limited package if you're not careful.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intruda119:
Att can call it whatever they want. But for unlocked devices you get unlimited data 2g/3g/H/H+ on your device depending on your carrier and whats available in your area.

I could have got the unlimited non-smartphone plan but I stuck with the 2g iphone plan just incase I ever get an att device I will still have grandfathered unlimited data.

To be on safe side incase you ever use your att upgrade, switch to the grandfathered unlimited 30 plan.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
I can't tell from his post but he may be on AT&T in the U.S. They have a dumb-phone unlimited data plan that you can use on a smartphone as long as they don't have the phone's IMEI in their database. A lot of us in the U.S. are using it with the SGS2 and getting HSPA+ speeds for $20 a month including unlimited MMS. Helps offset the ridiculous prices we've paid for the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intruda119:
To future proof your data plan, I would say ge the $30 data plan or stay on the unlimited 2g iphone plan.

There is no point of the iphone 2g trick, if you switch to dumbphone plan.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lknhiayi:
Sorry, yes i am in us with ATT

Ok I see, so as long as the IMEI is not in ATT database, so i can use it.

If one day our cheer SGS2 has it IMEI in ATT, so my plan may be revoke in worst case or will be grandfather.

So if i want to futur proof at 100% it is better to go to the $30 smartphone plan (I still have my inspire)

[Nook Color General] emerald181:
I think I may have figured out what is happening with the wifi in CM7. Forgive me though, I'm not a an android expert or anything, I just thought I would share my experience with this problem. A while ago, wifi was working great for me, but one day I started running the 925mhz overclock, which caused my nook to insta-shutdown during a movie. When I turned it back on, I was having trouble with the wifi connecting to my network (endless obtaining ip address loop). I tried upgrading to a new build, nothing. And I tried installing the new 1.3 ghz overclock kernel, which still didn't change anything (except my speed of course :D). I tried clearing the dalvik cache during in clockwork mod, and amazingly, my wifi was back to normal again. It came back though when I powered off my nook. Subsequent tries clearing my dalvik cache all worked wonders. This has gotten me thinking, maybe the power-off process is causing some kind of corruption in the cache, which is causing these problems. I don't know, i'm not an expert, just a plain ol guy with a nook trying to put two and two together lol :D

Thanks for putting up with me :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjgallow:
Hi there,

I've been reading through this forum very carefully and it's becoming evident that there are many different definitions of "Bricked" for Galaxy Vibrants, and Galaxy phones in general.

My main goal is to try and fix my phone, but I'd also like to get some collective wisdom on here to help others determine the best course of action for their phone. I've kind of guessed what the best definitions are... please feel free to correct me:

The "DEAD BRICK - or HARDLOCK":

This is my phone. It does not turn on, and by that, I mean, the screen stays black. NOTHING. I've tried all the key combinations. I've done the ODIN thing. I've pulled the USB cord out, and in, and same with the battery. It has NO intentions of turning on.

Remedy: Can anyone help me here? Is this where the JTAG RIFF box is needed?

The "HARD BRICK":

The phone doesn't appear to turn on. When attempting to put it into download mode, you instead get a little Icon with question mark and a USB cord.

Remedy: Sometimes, it appears that the phone can be flashed here from ODIN. Other times, it's a no-go. If that doesn't work, then you need to search the boards for using the 301K resistor method (Jig) to put it back in Download mode.

The "SOFT BRICK":

This seems to be 95% of all cases: The phone does not appear to turn on, or gets stuck at various points such as the infamous "S of Death" or gets stuck at various points in recovery mode.

Remedy:

In almost all of these cases, you have some options for restoring your software, or if you just want to get on with it, the fix-all is a re-flash with Odin, for which there are a multitude of excellent instructions on these boards. Ie:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=954509

Does that pretty-much sum it up?

I'm currently pulling my hair out because my phone just WILL NOT turn on...at all. Which makes it Very difficult to receive calls. Should I attempt the 301K method, or is this a job for the JTAG RIFF box at this point?

cheers

Please don't post such horrible information.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
I do not know what the second poster here is on about.

First of all I feel that odin is reasonably safe when you are careful with the boxes you check and have made sure to educate yourself before attempting to flash something. I actually think i have seen more posts about heimdall disasters then I have odin mishaps....and far, far more about Kies.

Remember any time you flash anything there is a certain amount of risk and move on.

Secondly all that output from the second poster is very pretty and I am sure quite accurate and informative but unrealistic and useless for 99.999 percent of all sgs users.

The op's description of hard brick and soft brick may seem simplified to an engineer but it is pretty accurate to what I have seen and read, even though the term brick is badly overused. If you can save it, it is not a brick...and almost all phones can be saved.

If you cannot get into download mode AT ALL with the handset, you need a jig which will get almost all devices into download mode. If a jig fails to do so you either have a serious hardware problem or have found a way to remove/corrupt your bootloader. In either case a service center is your only hope.

If you phones DOES go into download mode or is able to respond at all, then it can almost certainly be saved. It isn't bricked at all, just a bit messed up. There are plenty of threads describing what to flash and how to get back to a usable state.

It sounds like the op needs a jig as the next step in trying to fix their phone.

As for the second poster....stop scaring the noobs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjgallow:
Thank you rshenck and AdamOutler,

I appreciate both the positive and negative critiques, both have their place.

For sure, I'm approaching this as an attempt at a Noob's troubleshooting guide. As such, the expense and skills involved in getting output from the Samsung Primitive Boatloader make the results of limited value...However it is quite nice to have Both definitions in the same thread....and it's a much more plausable description than mine, which would be that the phone died on May 21st in a foreseen Apololypse-related event...

I AM impressed/fascinated with the technical definition provided and...I'll say it...a little jealous too. If I had an extra phone kicking around and $300 to blow on equipment (maybe sometime soon), I'd like to learn more about it.

I am also very encouraged, rschenck, by your suggestion that I should try a Jig. I appreciate that Almost as much as I appreciate you sticking up for inferior life forms such as myself ;)

I will try the Jig, and report back. My hopes are low, but I'll pick up some resistors tomorrow and see how it goes.

Thanks again....

So....if the Jig doesn't work, what do I have? A "Hardlock"? Is it like an update.zip issue? Or Viagra?

cheers

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
Let me tell you how it is. A noob has no reason to write technical documentation. Also, noobs should be scared.

Personally I've hard bricked 3 phones during flashing PBL/SBL, and 2 phones while looking for hardware recovery entry points. I've soft bricked those phones about 30 times during development.

If samsung had programmed in a protected area of memory to reset the PBL/SBL upon button combination, then we would not have this problem.. But they didn't. They chose to ignore the fact that the PBL/SBL can be overwritten and brick the phone.

Be scared. Don't get into something you don't understand. read the threads in this post before flashing, because if something goes wrong, you'll need the knowledge

Let me school you on what causes bricks. It's not flashing..... It's flashing two speciffic files.. The PBL.bin and the SBL.bin. Those are the only two files capable of bricking the phone. There is no risk while flashing a rom, kernel, or modem. I don't really trust the PIT because it can cause damage to the PBL/SBL partitions. I don't really trust the params.ifs because the PBL and SBL pull data from the param.ifs. It's been said that PIT and param.ifs are safe, but I have come up with several scenarios where they are not.

So, Sticking to safe... Flash modems, kernels, and FactoryFS's all day long and you won't brick. As for flashing PBL and SBL, the options for recovery are listed in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1065318

Btw... you should specify 301kohm jig. There's several resistor values which will activate the FSA-9480(USB switch) chip's JIG output line. 301K will boot the phone and cause it to go into download mode. Personally I say "301Kohm between microUSB pins 4 and 5".

Thanks AdamOutler,

I do have to point out again that I hard-bricked, or hard-locked my phone doing a standard stock update with Samsung Kie.

Previous to that, I had tested out about 6 different ROMs in Odin out of curiousity, with no trouble. As soon as I played it safe, I ran into massive trouble. Bad connection during the update? Maybe. I dunno.

I agree with you, one would think it could be designed in such away that the Software stays Soft.

For now, I have a brand new OS, and my phone is better than it ever was. I plan on leaving it that way :)

At some point down the road if I decide to upgrade my phone, I can go ahead knowing that if I somehow manage to hard-brick it, there is a solution.

Thanks for all your help, connexion2005!

ps...I bought this phone from someone who had already modded it...I never had any interest in the standard Samsung Vibrant software setup. I should also mention that my cell phone provider does not sell Vibrants, so getting one out of their store was never an option.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
Wroong, mate. As a chemist, I'd say: you have to put the material with electrical conductivity limited to 301kOhm, and CONNECT it to copper material on 4 and 5 pins of the microUSB plug ON THE phone (not on the e.g. camera).

And, my description would be same useless for 99.9999% of the readers as yours.

Please wake up, you can buy a 301kOhm jig directly from eBay..:rolleyes:

But, I respect opinion of the PLY. I love when somebody tells me: you have to put the capacitor output charge to the electric motor, same time giving the current to the ignition coils in proper sequence by using the security device.

Personally, I prefer the description: turn the ignition key on, but this is my personal feeling only.

The series that was EDT's first collaborative effort, "M", has returned better than ever.

Stats and FAQ's - READ THIS

Which Modem: KB5

Exchangeable: Yes, with any modem that works best for your phone.

Which Kernel: Supercurios KB1 Voodoo kernel, disabled by default.

Exchangeable: Unsupported but yes, with whichever kernel runs best for you - see the OP of the kernel you want to switch to for install instructions, prerequisites, etc.

Base: I started with a 100% stable version of UVKB5 with 8 lock screens, extended power options, am/pm toggle, ect., supplied by whitehawkx, and merged it with Meizu M9 FRF91, then recompiled several 10's of times until achieving 100% stability, I then merged this with the Meizu M9 GINGERBREAD 2.3.1 Version 20110429.154250 and once again recompiled several 10's of times until achieving 100% stability.

Launcher: Includes only my rebuilt version of the newest version of the rebuilt ARC launcher.

Uninstallable: No

Do other launchers work: Unsupported but yes, most all launchers will work with M11, including TW4.

Theme: Meizu M9 2.2 and 2.3.1 mix with 100/100 accurate battery with numbers.

Can flash other themes: No, the most you can do is theme this framework as it contains a custom set of images and xmls. Technically, you can flash any KB5 theme over this but you will revert it to stock xmls and lose M11. There may be a flashable twframework-res.apk soon to change the quick panel icons, there may not.

Bloat: De-bloated but includes Bloater to re-bloat if desired. Also contains several ARC widgets and Sony wallpaper chooser.

Battery life: Slightly better than any stock KB5 running Voodoo.

EDT Tweaks: No

Can be added: Yes, but unsupported and not needed on M11.

GPS: As usual, built for this rom in particular.

Can flash S.GPS: Yes, but unsupported and not needed on M11.

Sounds: Full set of Meizu M9 GB sounds with English titles and build.prop edits to assign.

Animations: Custom, though subtle, animation edits.

Boot Animation: The original M9 Clone, un-animated, bootanimation.zip with no sound.

Can change: Yes, by renaming the .bak's in /etc and /media - note that there is no shutdown animation, if you want to add it, it goes into /media/video and you will need to remove the .bak from the shutdown in /media/sounds/ui or replace it. This is all unsupported by the way.

Titanium Backup: I am not a fan and will not be supporting the use of the app, even though it is included for your convenience.

Install:

Download M_11.zip and save to your sdcard.

Boot into recovery.

Factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache.

Install M_11.zip

Reboot.

Give it time to settle down and reboot again.

Download <168.77MB> - http://www.mediafire.com/?cbdgassg7cd6w2k

Download latest 8 lockscreen mod <9.41MB> - http://www.mediafire.com/?9ubsqwu2er81wtt - This is a flash, be sure to wipe dalvik if from rom manager or from within recovery.

Experimental updates, bug fixes, etc.

V 1.1 is named framework-res.apk, for Alpha testing purposes, is attached to this post. Push it.

V 1.2 Attached - zipped but not a flash - push it - will fc until reboot. - Pop up boxes are too small, causing text overlap. Will be moving back to 1.1 and going back forward.

V 1.3 - Final Revision attached - zipped but not a flash, push it - With this revision I had to back off from the GB a little and re-merge with FRF91 in order to solve some issues with the rom - This is the last update of framework-res.apk and will be included in the next milestone.
