ummnnn... i dnt think i have CWM recovery kind of thing...

but when i start my cellphone... i can see

>>GT-I5801 SAMSUNG

>>then boot animation with samsung logo

>> then black screen.

are u guys sure that it is softbricked...??

and one more thing.... when i press vol up + vol dwn + home + power key..... there is an option "apply sdcard update.zip"

so can i use this to restore my phone..?
[Galaxy 3 General] Bubble-be:
Have you tried connecting through usb ?
[Galaxy 3 General] ashu007:
yeah... i did tried usb too....

but when i connect usb.. my pc reads device as removable storage(like it reads before mounting the memory card)... when i open this removable storage.. it says "please insert a disk in drive"...
[Galaxy 3 General] nitti:
LOLz.. :-P

now u hav 2 reflash it .. no othr option ac 2 me..

nly a senior memeber cn suggest sm.. :-D
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
That's a softbrick alright. Reflashing brings your phone back to life. I can only hope you had made backups. That way after clean reflash things are much faster and easier than having to set everything up again from scratch.
[Galaxy 3 General] Panos_dm:
Which ROM do you use?

Peace...;)

[Galaxy 3 General] 19.nvv.11:
There's only one choice to reflashing.. :D

put your phone in recovery mode(vol up + vol dn + home + pwr ).

run adb (attached).

put the required framework apk's in the root of your sdcard.

the problem occoured because there was not sufficient space in your /system

so type in the console the following.

always before replacing a file make sure that twice the amount of free space is available.

mount -o remount,rw,codepage=utf8,vfat,xattr,check=no /dev/stl5 /system

rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk

rm /system/framework/twframework-res.apk

cat /sdcard/framework-res.apk > /system/framework/framework-res.apk

cat /sdcard/twframework-res.apk > /system/framework/twframework-res.apk

reboot

good luck :)
[Galaxy 3 General] ashu007:
i m using official froyo(india)...

and adb thing didn't worked for me...

isn't there any other way except reflashing..?
[Galaxy 3 General] Rapier07:
He has replaced the original framework files in the ROM.. There's no way the phone will be back to factory after a reset...

Which rom are you using?

Better reflash..

m using samsung official froyo rom(india).....

if i've to reflash... plzz tell me some intial steps which aren't in guide...

and tell me any gud rom which is overclocked...

so far i've concluded that indroid rom is best... (is it overclocked....?)
[Galaxy 3 General] akash.gpta:
I'm assuming u flashed a custom ROM because most of them have USB Debugging enabled (otherwise you're out of luck and most probably you dont have the CWM Recovery)

1. Open "command prompt"

2. Move to your adb directory

3. Type:

adb devices

You should see something like:

List of devices attached
1s3s6da2d5 device

if u don't, try remove and plug the usb again and retype the command "adb devices"

4. Now type:

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl6 /system
adb push \youdir\framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb push \youdir\twframework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb reboot

If everything goes well you will have your system back. :D

EDIT: Oh, Stock Rom! then better reflash ;)

I use kyrillos rom.. its the most stable imo n yeah overclockable with fugumod kernel .. flash stock jpf and then kyrillos v5.5

Sent from the 3rd Galaxy !
[Galaxy 3 General] ashu007:
k..

so i m gonna flash kyrillos now...

cant i directly flash kyrillos...

and one more thing... mine is i5801.. not i5800...

can i flash it to gt-i5801.....
[Galaxy 3 General] kyrillos13:
yes you can.
[Galaxy 3 General] ashu007:
i m starting the flashing process now.....

i m following THIS GUIDE.

there are some points that i wanna clear before flashing.

1) Start Odin (if using windows 7 or vista right click Odin and use run as administrator)

2) Check "One Package" checkbox

3) Check “Reboot” checkbox

4) Check protect ops checkbox (Don’t check this if you are flashing I5801 with I5800 firmware for the first time.)[here i m confused.. what i've to do here..?]

5) Check reset time checkbox, keep the default value as it is i.e. 300 don’t select any other options.

6) Hit reset files button once.

7) Click ops button and select OPS file for I5800[mine is i5801... would the ops file whose link is in the guide, will work for me..?? i.e. apollo_0531.ops]

8) Click one package and select the firmware you want to flash. The file must a .tar file.[here]

9) You can take a backup of your data/apps. For that you can use Titanium Backup. For backing up contacts and SMS.

A) go to contacts press menu/left most button select import/export option, then export the contacts to sdcard.

B) For sms use the app called SMS backup.

10) Now remove your sdcard and sim card from phone and do a factory reset/ Hard Reset also clear cache then restart and put it in downloading mode by pressing vol- + home + power button together.

11) Now connect your phone to pc.

12) Odin will show yellow color and com port no. in the first box on top in Odin.

13) Click Start and watch the progress bar and timer, wait until PASS message appear on Message box.

14) Disconnect the phone from PC when Odin displays disconnect serial port & wait until rebooting phone.

>>i was on froyo india before bricking my phone( i.e. I5801DDJP2)..

can i flash kyrillos directly or i've to flash stock I5800XXJPF/JPM/JPN first...??

>>and i've downloaded "Kyrillos_rom_v5.5_NON-OC"... so in tar file i've to select "Kyrillos_rom_v5.5_NON-OC>>Flash_this_as_one-package.tar" naa.
[Galaxy 3 General] Rapier07:
#Don't check the protect ops box

#yes the same ops File should work

m very happy now.....

just want to do overclock thing now...

plzz guide me in right direction..
[Galaxy 3 General] Rapier07:
Kool :) u need an overclockable kernel..

download fugumod 2.4beta3 800mhz(featured) from the dev section and flash it in one package just like you flashed kyrillos..

Install "no frills cpu control" from market and overclock using it:)

Sent from the 3rd Galaxy !
[Galaxy 3 General] ashu007:
means i've to select ops file again....

and all the steps are same except that i've to select fugumod.tar file instead of kyrillos.tar ..?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newtonetienne:
Perhaps I am missing something simple, how can I rebuild all the contact's thumbnails in default Contact apps? I want to rebuild because some thumbnails were fuzzy.

I am running Gingerbread (2.3).

I am rooted.

I attempted to solve the problem by moving all JPG files in

/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files

into another directory.

but after I cleared out the directory and rebooted the phone, the contacts thumbnails were not rebuild (actually now, they just show the empty placeholder thumbnail).

So again, how can I rebuild all the contacts' thumbnails in default contacts app?

Please advise.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktrotter11:
Use Facebook to sync em, or do them manually via Google dashboard from a desktop.... Only methods I kno of....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newtonetienne:
Thanks for responding. The problem is not syncing them. I am trying to rebuild all the contacts' thumbnails.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jborell3:
When you sync them it should rebuild the thumbnails
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newtonetienne:
I think I figured it out...

1. Settings > accounts and sync > uncheck contact option from all accounts

(this is important to do, or else you may lose contacts from the sources you are syncing from)

2. Settings > applications > manage applications > contact storage > clear data

3. Reboot phone

4. Settings > accounts and sync > check contact option on desired accounts

5. Contacts will sync quickly but.... It takes, a loooong time for contact thumbnails to be rebuilt. But they will eventually be rebuilt.

6. To help speed up the process you can try to log into the different apps that are sources of contacts such as Facebook, Twitter, etc.

This may also help, in contacts app > online directories > Facebook/Twitter > refresh

Thanks for Dell for replacing my Streak , and POO for delayed delivery

How to open a case?

I called and they told me to to use the "pull battery out" trick.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techvir:
U should try to a factory reset first and see if that helps.

If not it could be a hardware problem. People had issues with their streak not charging in the past.

Call them and tell that u cannot use the phone anymore. They should send u a replacement , if u have a warranty

And has a momax battery making fone last double what ever it did before (original battery included) all in original box. 2X samsung headfones. Condition I'd say 7 out of 10. Its good condition on screen its the metal fing around the screen that has abit of scave but only tiny. . The black hard case u get with the momax is cracked in places due to being crap case but good battery. Been very honest and want £245 and can post for £5

Wouldn't trust this seller. Guy sounds like an idiot. Most likely bricked or has a messed up radio. If the back case for the Momax battery is cracked, you can be assured that it has been dropped several times. I've dropped mine several times on soft surfaces such as carpet and grass, but when in fell out of my pocket at work onto the tile floor, that's when it cracked.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Grashoper:
Ya whatever bud.. Was only a question..everybody knows how close to impossible it is to scratch these screens. im a construction worker and move gets covered in dirt dust and sand every day and I just drag my fingers around the screen as usual and still no scratches. And no screen protector. So..whatever.

The screen is gorilla glass and can only be scratched with somthing like a tile cutter.

[Acer Iconia A500] JoKu:
I have had my Acer since it was first released and I still don't have a case for it because I'm holding out for one that I really like. Given the price of some of them, I can't justify buying an expensive one that I don't like just to have to turn around and drop more when one does come out. So I'm definitely taking a chance with mine carrying it around uncovered every day. So far no scratches or anything, but it's probably just a matter of time.

Here's my gripe, if the Acer is supposedly selling really well and exceeding expectations, then why hasn't Otterbox or Trident made us any cases? I know it's relatively new, but they need to sit up and take notice of the popularity of our device and realize there is a demand there. If you search the Acer under the News category on Google, all it talks about it the strong sales figures, how the Acer is a competitor to not only the Xoom but the ipad2 as well. I wish they would hurry it up so I can properly protect my tablet.

Has anyone heard anything along the lines of either brand planning anything? I know another forum had mentioned a few people writing Otterbox and Trident and one user claims that one of them told him they had no plans to release a case for the Acer. That's not very smart of them considering the device is gaining popularity. I hope it's not because the tablet is an Acer opposed to a Motorola or Apple. You know good and well they will make one for the PayBook because it's a BlackBerry.

Edit: I just got a response from Trident on Facebook. They have no plans for a case for the A500, I just don't understand. Otterbox makes a case for the ORIGINAL Nook; a device that has been replaced by a newer version gets a case but we don't? The Nook isn't even relevant anymore and the hot new Acer can't get one? Well apparently trident is a No, hopefully Otterbox will see the light.
[Acer Iconia A500] ikram0673:
I had emailed Otterbox a few weeks before and they said they had no plan to produce a case for the Acer Iconia. All the case manufacturers are more interested to make a case for iPad I guess. Maybe they feel Acer is not cool enough for them.

But anyway hope they will change their mind or else we better looking somewhere else.
[GT540 Optimus General] hmskrecik:
Hi,

I'm not sure whether it's good thing to open one thread related to two problems but I haven't got better idea how to put it.

Main problem:

Since I have acquired my GT540 I'm still searching for the solution for reverse tethering. My operator doesn't have decent data plan, quite often I'm out of any wifi range and currently I'm completely out of wireless.

So I'm left with workable USB connection and Bluetooth. Which leads us to...

Secondary problem:

I found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835912 and solution proposed there is quite feasible to me as usbnet still seems to be song of the future and I'm using Linux on the host PC anyway. But when I tried to implement it, I learned that PPP is not enabled in my kernel, which understandably derailed my plan. I use CM7 by Mur4ik.

The question then is, can I somehow painlessly enable this PPP support?

Or could someone politely nudge Mur4ik to enable it in the next release of SwiftDroid? (I don't have sufficient rights to post in devel forum myself)

Or, is there another, working way of getting net access for my phone?

Cheers.
[GT540 Optimus General] MalarKeY007:
So, you don't have Wireless Adapter or WiFi to put on your desktop and share the internet?

I have tested to share the PC internet connection via USB to GT540 and i never did it...

I bought a WiFi AP and now I use the GT540 with Wireless on my entire house, i think its better than USB.
[GT540 Optimus General] hmskrecik:
As I mentioned, sometimes I have wireless access but recently I'm stuck without. Besides, in this most recent cm7-m6 adhoc networking doesn't work either. ;)

Yes, I think too that having wifi coverage in home is nice but the problem I stated is what to do WHEN you don't have it.

I search, and I get bull**** replies like yours. Even "official" ROM threads have SO MUCH signal to noise ratio that they're more than useless. Five decent posts in a sea of 100+ PAGES of garbage.

This is a Q&A forum, I asked a Q, you provided no A. If it bothers you, don't hang out in this forum, and don't go into threads you know will get your hackles up. It's your own damned fault you came in this thread and chose to get all stick-in-the-butt. Could've sailed right on by and head a wonderful afternoon. That seems to be 90% of your posts anyhow, just complaining about other people's posts or stupidity. Seriously - take up knitting or something.

So yeah, I've read about Gingerbreak (the guy behind the Unrevoked exploit), and how it might provide temp root on 2.3.4, but nobody's had real luck with it yet. I'm hoping to get a lead on someone working on it instead a sea of people, like yourself, saying "the magic people will, some moment soon."

I'm not ignorant, I do my own legwork and search the internet, not just here where there's very little great info in a sea of noise - and any decent posts are lost.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjaxon:
I agree with you 99.9%. Trying to find helpful info in these forums can be next to impossible without spending your whole night browsing or using search and still getting 16 topics of useless info.
