[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwyand92:
Bought a phone off a guy on craigslist, and sold it to me broken. He said he bricked it when he tried backing up android (was probably going to install a custom rom).

The phone turns on and powers on. It gets to the S screen, then goes black. The phones keys stay lit up and it vibrates every 5 minutes or so.

Not sure what the hell he did, but I feel its gotta be an easy fix.

Any advice? Will buy beers, or a sodas if your underage :P for the helper :D

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
It sounds like a partitioning brick personally. Try using an appropriate PIT and repartitioning using ODIN 1.82 and a valid firmware. If you can't figure it out with conventional flashing, I can always JTAG that phone and have it back to normal just PM me if you need that done.
[Captivate General] melvinaury:
I'm having an error message on screen every one to two minutes. it said "Failed to Update my location no signal" I already go to AT&T customer service and change the phone. But I continue to have the same error message. I'm restoring all the apps using TIBU. The phone that they give me has an incredible GPS working. I have a constant 5 meter lock in about 8 to 10 seconds.

Does the error has to be related to an app?
[Captivate General] crystalhand:
Are you resorting system data as well with tb? if you are that can cause problems.you should never restore system apps only user apps
[Captivate General] melvinaury:
No I just backup the user applications and restore only the user applications.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] axial_pro:
Having read about a great mod to eliminate the annoying sd-card mounting sound upon reboots, i really wanted a way to edit build.prop from my phone without relying on my PC.

I know that Root Explorer would do the trick, but I was not willing to spend $4 to do such a minor edit.

That said, with a little Googling I found a great free editor that allows you to make a backup before you start and fiddle at your discretion. http://code.google.com/p/net-widgetron-propeditor/downloads/detail?name=PropEditor-0.3.apk

Thought this might help someone!

Cheers
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] GibMcFragger:
Nice find!

I gotta say though that Root Explorer is well worth the money if you like to tweak your phone. I use it constantly to edit/backup/move/etc system files and ANY file really.

I can tell you that it has also saved my butt more than once when I did something I shouldn't by giving me the ability to change something back before rebooting my phone into a boot loop. :)

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CaelanT:
Trust me............Root Explorer will save you a lot of time for that $4 in the long run. It's a must have app, no doubt about it!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] axial_pro:
I found that Ghost Commander offered the same kind of file management capabilities as Root Explorer with the omission of some small features. (Like a build.prop editor!) It's also a free download from the market.

My needs are not the most complex either... I'll wait for someone else to test the waters before I dive in so that the brick potential is minimized.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] GibMcFragger:
Everyone has different needs. I don't mind paying $4 because for me it has long paid for itself. I have been using Root Explorer since back when I had my Galaxy S.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] dLo GSR:
you guys all completely derailed the point of this thread.

Prop Editor is an awesome app for editing your prop files. It is EASIER to use than Root Explorer's text editor, because 1) it sorts all the lines in build.prop alphabetically and removes comments and 2) it allows you to select single lines and edit the values or replace them with some pre-existing suggestions (such as when editing the phone model line).

I find it much better to use than Root Explorer for when I want to edit my build.prop, and I paid for RE too.

[Galaxy S II General] janvmoen:
I've just gotten my galaxy S2, have had a galaxy tab for a while. I use the stock gallery.

When I copy pictures from my previous phone to the galaxy S 2 via my computer, the gallery automatically adds them, but the gallery app changes the date, so that all pictures get the date they were added to the gallery, and not the date when they were taken. When I want to view the pictures, they are sorted wrong, and I can't use the slider on the bottom to scroll to a specific date.

The funny thing is that when I do the same on my galaxy tab, the pictures are sorted correctly.

Anybody experiencing the same thing, or have a method or suggestion to make the gallery app not change the date?

Is there any way I can replace the galaxy s2 gallery with the galaxy tab gallery?

[Thunderbolt Android Development] lanwarrior:
Per the thread title, there is a feature in this ROM under DAS Bamf Toolkit to block ads. It works well but sometime I had to disable it to access some site, such as FatWallet web referrer.

Unfortunately, when I disabled it and RE-ENABLE IT, none of the ads is blocked anymore, from website to applications. I have tried rebooting the phone, pull out battery, etc. but to no avail.

Do I have to do Clean Dalvik Cache and Application Cache or something?

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] lexxon87:
I've never owned a Samsung phone but I imagine it looks like the ones I've seen in some Moto Droid roms and in BAMF 1.6.

I don't think you can just "add" the power controls very easily (although I could be mistaken), but the BAMF ROM has them, albeit they don't appear to be customizable. Liquid's ROMs on the Droid had it too, so his TB roms could have the same thing.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] thewebsiteisdown:
You can not add them to easily that's for sure but, you can modify the one built into the Remix roms failry easily. You go in to a file and chage the names in the text example. From toggleMobileData | to toggleBrightness | and now you have your brightness control there instead of the mobile data. You can swap them all out for what ever you like.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] dalrym05:

When I do a trackball/power start and select bootloader and then recovery I am put in the ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5 app, from there when I do an "apply update from sdcard" or install zip from sdcard" it gives me the cyanogen logo with a hat on it and does nothing.

I downloaded the renamed to update.zip 2.3.4 ROM to my sdcard and moved it to the top directory in the sdcard.

What am I doing wrong. The 2.3.4 ROM is only 6.7MB that seems very small. Perhaps that is the problem

[Droid 2 General] profase:
Alright so I had my Droid 2 rooted and with the ZombieStomped 1.7 ROM. Overall good, except my keyboard starting being silly (it would enter a character 3 times for one push). I want to see if this is a hardware or software issue, so I want to just go back to 2.3.20.

I followed the directions for SBFing (which I did originally way back when). When I attach my phone, RSDlite doesn't identify is as a Droid 2 (nor does it get any of the IEMI data/etc), but it does list a device. When I go to flash the full SBF, it says "Creating phone image file...", and then after that it fails and says "Internal error while programming phone." This is using RSDLite 4.7+patch, 4.8, and 4.9. I had the motoconnect 4.71 drivers installed. My bootloader is 2.37.

After SBF failed, I figured I'd try to boot into clockwork recovery and install one of the 2.3.20 Update zips. I downloaded the Odexed update.zip, followed the steps by p3droid, but after formatting the system, I realized I needed to install the Deodexed version. Great. So I take out my SD card and get the Deodexed version on there, but now I can't boot into clockwork recovery. Power+X brings me to the stock android recovery.

I figure it's worth a shot to try and install the zip's from the stock android recovery, but all of the zips say "E:signature verification failed; Installation aborted". I tried the Deodexed update and a ZombieStomped zip I still had on my sd card. No dice.

So unless I can magically get into Clockwork recovery, I believe SBF is my only option, but how do I fix my issues?
[Droid 2 General] profase:
Update:

I fixed my SBFing error. Turns out I needed to use the motoconnect drivers posted in p3droids post, and I had motoconnect 5.0 installed!
