[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
It's okay, we have no problem helping people who are willing to help themselves.

From the Bootloader type in

reboot

since the phone doesn't have a working ROM it should boot into the recovery mode again

Well what you'll need to do is download the PD15IMG file

PD15IMG

pull the SD Card w/o pulling the battery, and store just the PD15IMG.zip on the root of the SDcard.

Then type in

adb reboot recovery

again and unplug the phone. It should ask if you want to restore the PD15IMG, you'll hit the button (it'll tell you) to confirm that.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CriolaBrazuka:
The Track pad only works if I am in CWM - if I am not mistaken. ( I have tried selecting with the power button and trackpad, nada)

I guess my next question would be, how to unroot using ADB without being able to select anything with the power button? Any way to flash the STOCK ROM and get S-ON again using ADB Commands? It will have to be sent back to TMOBILE. And since it is rooted, I have to UNROOT it. (The phone is ON MY ACCOUNT, but belongs to my friend. I don't want to get charged for the device because it's rooted and warranty voided)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
once in your bootloader only the power button will select objects. the volume keys are the "picker" and the power button is the "selector"
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CriolaBrazuka:
Correct! The Trackpad works with Clockworkmod, but I can't even get there... How can I unroot/flash the PD15IMG.ZIP using ADB (if that's possible?!)

I will need to send it without them taking notice, as this is on my account.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
I assume you saw post # 10 here. :confused:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CriolaBrazuka:
Thank you. I will do as you have suggested and report back. I really do appreciate this.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CriolaBrazuka:
I'm sorry to sound like a noob, but how am I supposed to type the commands from Bootloader. I am on the HBoot screen. But as for ADB Commands, and getting to BOOTLOADER through such commands, I am lost. (I apologize, but I am truly a beginner, but willing to learn. All I ask i a little patience)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
sorry

fastboot reboot

should reboot the phone
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CriolaBrazuka:
OK. Sounds good. I am downloading the PD15IMG.zip as I type. This will take some time, according to the mins left (22m) - After it reboots, and reads the PD15IMG file, will this UNROOT the device back to stock? (I am guessing so... but just to be CLEAR!)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
it SHOULD put everything back the way it came. IF you use the ./gfree method to root the phone it might not turn s-on. But everything else, the recovery image and the hBoot will be back to normal.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CriolaBrazuka:
Ok. I will try it and hope it turns S-on... if not, is there away to do that?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
There is, if you used the ./gfree method. you need to be able to get into the ROM to do it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CriolaBrazuka:
It may have officially BRICKED. I can't even get SDK to recognize it now. I have a BLACK SCREEN and FLASHING LED. :'( I was SOooooo CLOSE!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimbernator:
In that case you could probably just return it and they wouldn't know the difference.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CriolaBrazuka:
OK... so I GOT the ADB to reconnect/recognize the device. I have put the PD15IMG zip onto the SD, but when I use the command FASTBOOT REBOOT I am unable to get it to read the PD15IMG.

This is bazzar. But I suppose without the POWER button working, it's a little more difficult to work out.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CriolaBrazuka:
I managed to get the ADB to recognize the device, thanks. With a little patience, and persistence... :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CriolaBrazuka:
I got the phone to work, and the ROM is working. I also did the Gfree unroot method found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=924923, but it's rebooting into Fastboot. I need to reboot into HBoot. What's the command for that?
[General Questions and Answers] marsha12151:
I figured out most of the acronyms used for particular words from George Carlin but I am still lost on a few things.

I take it the replys that just have "+1" or "+6000" are just agreeing with something someone else said.

But the one that has lost me is "10 char". Please, wtf does it mean????
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
A post must be 10 characters or 10 letters long. So when you post a +1, you need to throw something in to fill the 10 character requirement. And if you have nothing more to add, just put "10 char".
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Have read through a few threads on the subject - i have a Samsung Intercept from virgin mobile rooted and using barnacle to act as a wifi hotspot.

Confirmed my hotspot is working via a windows laptop - but my a500 seems to be unable to connect to ad-hoc networks.

I am running 1.144.07 on my tablet - rooted already as well. Anyone here modded their a500 for ad-hoc? The thread in the dev section on the subject has a lot of users reporting broken wifi after trying the method - would love to hear from someone who has done it.

Thank you in advance!

(Edit: no help needed - went the other way around thanks to a helpful user on the Samsung Intercept forums and convinced my Intercept to be able to do a proper infrastructure hotspot. Works like a charm!)
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
I had received an update from acer...now my iconia reads ad-hoc......if u didn't get the update wait for 3.1 update or try enabling infrastructure mode on your samsung intercept...
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Many thanks, a very helpful user in the Samsung Intercept section helped me to get proper infrastructure mode hotspot working - i am so happy right now :-) Virgin Mobile unlimited 3g = 25$ usd a month, and now I can use that on my a500!!!!!

Did you already get 3.1 OTA update?????
[Acer Iconia A500] B214B1:
Worked for me.

I read all the threads regarding the adhoc issue and finally decided on the Root Explorer method. It works great.

The first time it did not work because the file permissions were set incorrectly(by me). The info I was using was from the Xoom forum and I think the directions stated setting all permissions in the 2 left columns and the top 2 permissions in the right side column. Mine had 4 columns. So I did as directed and it did not work. I went back to permissions and then checked the appropriate permissions in the third column and left the fourth column the same. This time it worked for regular wifi. I fired up Wifirouter on my Tilt2 and my iconia found the adhoc from the phone and connected. Got on the intertubes and surfed for a bit. All is well.

It seems that most people that had issues after the wpa_supplicant file swap, had neglected to turn off wifi before overwriting the file.

This is what mine looks like under permissions in Root Explorer for wpa_supplicant after it was replaced with the altered one from the Xoom forums.

Hope that helps.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Dude - too cool of you to take the time to write that. I managed to get infrastructure mode hotspot working on my intercept now - but am still going to take the time to do this just in case I need ad-hoc anytime soon. Thank you for your time!
[Acer Iconia A500] B214B1:
You're welcome. Glad you found a fix.
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
Nope 3.1 ota will be released between 23 june-5 july.......acer had launched many updates b4 that....it might be possible that you didn't reveive....try manually pushing them....look in the dev section....(some ppl encountered problems with wifi after this)

I hope even this helps you.....
[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
Nevermind. I removed the info that I had posted...

What I tried turns on the ad hoc just fine but I can't connect to a regular connection.

The setting that you posted don't seem to work for me either. Thanks tho.

Anyone having luck getting an ad hoc network going after updating to 3.1?
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
I saw this posted as a mod for other devices, and I tried it on my Evo but I can't really tell if it's better or just a placebo effect. Basically, it's intended to switch UI rendering and the like over to the GPU . . . but since the Snapdragon has an integrated GPU, I don't know if it makes a difference.

Short version: Pull your build.prop via adb from /system and add this line somewhere:

debug.sf.hw=1

Push it back to /system (might want to make a backup, or, heck, a NANDROID you fool!) and reboot.

Anybody have any experience with this or just a better understanding of whether it does anything on the Evo?

Here's one link that has some background. It's built for the Streak, so not sure if it's applicable.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxyII:
Hi,

I have a Sony VAIO with Windows 7 & DLNA.

I have a Galaxy S2.

What i dont have is a WiFi Router. I am yet to get it.

Can anyone tell me if its possible to connect my laptop and Phone somehow without a Wifi router?

I was reading that I can transfer I could transfer file to phone without USB connection. Not sure how

Also Can i create a HotSpot in phone and make the PC connect to that Wifi hotspot?

I tried Connectify on Windows 7 but it never worked. It was never able to create a network for some reason :(

Thanks and looking forward for your inputs
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stylee32:
Go to settings -> Wireless and network -> Tethering and portable hotspot -> Then select "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings" - From this you can set up a Wi-Fi network that uses your mobile internet.

Once you've set this up connect to the wireless network via your laptop and launch the app called "Kies air". From there you can transfer files without the need of the usb connector...

To use DLNA you need a wireless network, i wouldn't recommend using the portable Wi-Fi hotspot for it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxyII:
Thank you very much Stylee32 this helps

hope i will get my WiFi router soon

Edit: I tried this solution. Got my PC connected to Mobile. But the url which Kies Air gave didnt work

I'll play stupid if anything happens AFTER I get the phone. Sprint is usually good at fixing errors. Very happy if this works. Save my upgrade for the S2 then I can compare both and give the one I don't want to my g/f.

Just ordered on Amazon Wireless for $179.99 using my Airave upgrade, lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] ausch30:

Damn I want to try this but I actually use my airrave and I am not paying for it monthly either
[HTC EVO 3D] vrundmc:
How did you do this? I tried and failed. I had to add a plan and then when it checked my upgrade eligibility, it failed saying something about a plan error. SHARE!

I got a free Airave and service from Sprint. Just checked my account and wrote down my Airave number and MAC ID. I'll try it out on Friday, hopefully it will work.
[HTC EVO 3D] TF1984:
Great, now everyone in the community is going to do this so those who wait are going to get screwed. Awesome!

On a side note, last year I went to BB and "added a line" to get my Evo. Then went to the parking lot, called sprint and put the Evo on my primary line and told them to keep the "newly established line" open and free of a device. The rep asked me what my intention was, I told him I had an old phone to give to my child on this line in one-two months.

Presto, free upgrade, the additional line disappeared and I never had to do anything...
[HTC EVO 3D] B Feelgood:
Login to your Sprint account at Sprint.com. Check under devices on the My Account page for your current cell phone and Airave. It should say that the Airave is eligible for a $150 upgrade. There is also a phone number attached to it. You have to use that phone number attached to the Airave. Then on Amazon just pick the same exact plan options including insurance or whatever extras you have on there and at the end of the checkout it asks for you current number and last 4 of your social security number. Put the Airave number in there along with your SS# and presto :cool:

I also got the free Airave device and free service two years ago but have never used it. It has just been collecting dust but now has a purpose!
[HTC EVO 3D] TF1984:
Question, if you order through Amazon, do you have the option of returning within a thirty day period?

By the way, just called Local Sprint Corp store and he said no way in hell.

Also, on another note I had TWO airaves up until two months ago, both listed with full upgrades until I called sprint and got the new airave, at which time they deleted one of the airaves... coulda been rolling in mobiles here, darn.
[HTC EVO 3D] vrundmc:
Also placed an order at wirefly for $179.99 plus $30 cash back!

I wonder if both orders will go through. HAHA!! I should just cancel my best buy one.
[HTC EVO 3D] B Feelgood:
Absolutely Amazon Wireless operates the same as the regular Amazon site and has the 30 day return policy. If I get charged for anything other then the upgrade, I will just return it and say I was confused because my account said there was an upgrade available.
[HTC EVO 3D] vrundmc:
I did that but it rejected me. Worked at wirefly with my SSN as the pin. Will leave both orders up and see if any get cancelled. :)

[HTC EVO 3D] TF1984:
The other thread linked has 3+ stories of ppl doing this at Sprint Corp Stores.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
This is so old.The order goes in but won't ship anymore and the ones that get passed and do ship sprint does not allow then to be activated even on a different line.

You could before but sprint since that time has got wise and rejects it.What happens to the orders that are shipped is you are charged full price so you have to return it or get charged full price.Take your pick.
[HTC EVO 3D] vrundmc:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dowhat87:
Hi guys,

I'm new to Samsung phone sincerely. I'm coming from HTC lines and currently decided to move on to Samsung's. As far as my budget concerns, I'm capable of buying either Galaxy S i9000 (rm12xx), Nexus S i9023 (rm12xx) and Galaxy S PLUS i9001 (rm13xx). So comparing to these phones, which one seems the best to be grabbed? both Galaxy S runs on S-Amoled screens while Nexus S only on S-LCD (amoled is not available in my country). In term of long term planning, does Galaxy S hardware technology can support more than Gingerbread? As for i9001 which pre-installed with Gingerbread, does this also capable to port more than Gingerbread generation?

ps: hope someone will welcome me here. ;)

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lunchbox115:
Hi,

From these phones I'd choose the Nexus or the i9000.

Why?

Nexus -> Google-Updates. But LCD? Why don't you order a Nexus with SAMOLED from another country?

i9000 -> good phone, thousands of custom-ROMs

S+ : no custom ROMs. It runs with 1.4GHz, but you can overclock the i9000 ;)

Nobody here can say if Ice Cream Sandwich will be released for the SGS officially. But CM7 will bring it to us I think. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sciacallo010:
Galaxy s is a good phone, and now it has a CM7 stable, that make it really good.

Nexus s probably would be better because of Google updates, but if it has LCD and not SAMOLED, maybe I would choose SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TiiXiboy:
I just converted from HTC to SGS, and man this phone with Darkys 10.1 extreme rom + lagfix is just so much win... id go for the SGS
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
Only down for the SGS is the GPS.

It can be easely used for tracking and going around, but the thing is kind of a gamgle when it comes to tracking (sports related) or anything precise.

But, in the other hand, is there any phone that can be as precise as what some of us need... I'd be curious to try the Nexus S and compare tracks.

BTW: I totaly love the SGS, woudln't trade it for anything! That's why I got an Zephyr HxM
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jay_993:
Nexus S used to be a better choice before. However, the dev community in NS is very low in comparison to SGS. That would be my main reason why I'd go for SGS. However, having said that, NS seems to get better "quadrant" scores but I don't know whether there's much difference really.

We got Sammy ROMs, MIUI, CM7, Sense 3.0 comming up as well. Good choice imo no? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kar200:
I think if you dig somewhere around here there was a comparison between the 2.

Like someone said the Nexus S is really a step down from the SGS. Also the GPS chip should be the same so it should suffer from the same issues with GPS.

The other factors are the use of LCD rather than Amolder, no SD card slot, thicker (although this is a bit of a plus for me), no front camera, no radio (AOSP Issue), no other roms except AOSP based which makes the camera use only SD (no HD recording).

I have to say the SGS with CM7 is a completely different phone. I am using Miui

US at the moment but CM7 makes really the phone fly (and I am no fanboy).

I had a quick play with SGS2 and althogh I spend only a couple of minutes on it it felt a bit slower on the interface than the SGS with CM7. I have to admit that I think this is due to launcherpor though.

K.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dowhat87:
Hi, i guess u are right, u'll tend to get lost here inside Galaxy S' forum as there are too much roms to choose for, compare to Nexus S. However, it also has proven that the quality over Nexus S' roms seems undeniable also. You can try to check this link http://smartphonebenchmarks.com/ to see how their custom roms and kernel would affect their permormance and increase their quadrant score up to 4k+. Amazing thing, i guess :)

There's also rumors that Nexus S will get Ice Cream Candy UI, which is not confirmed for Galaxy S. By the way, the main issue came afterwards as I cant get the S-amoled display for Nexus S, which sounds a lose. So, either the future updates vs screen capabilities become either to be chosen for!

As for Galaxy S PLUS, this has been confusing me as well. Even someone keeps on mentioning that GS PLUS is just the overclocked version of SGS, for me it was totally different things especially for future investment, as it uses different board, different processor (Snapdragon) and different GPU (Adreno 205). Furthermore, it comes with Gingerbread on stock, which show that there's possibilities that this phone can port 2.4 and above!

Nah..talked too much, but yet, still confuse :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rdbhalla:
Mate, get a SGS and you will be very happy with it. I did a silly thing that sold my SGS and jumped to NS. Trust me, I missed my SGS so much that I was back on it within 2 weeks (had to buy a new one as I had sold my old one. Silly me). If you go to Nexus S forums -> General, look for a thread Nexus S after Galaxy S but.., or Nexus S - your impressions. You will find many people who would agree. There are many things in SGS to love over NS.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cds0699:
Google announced at I/O that devices purchased will be supported with updates for 18 months from date of purchase, hardware capabilities permitting, of course. So I'd imagine the Galaxy Tab 10.1 should definitely qualify, esp when you think about a lot of the devices being released lately (including the Nexus S which is only a single core phone, so hardware should def not be a problem for ICS).
