I tried to flash a rom with CWM but i couldnt mount sd, it gave me an error, then phone would not boot. I got into download mode and am trying to ODIN back to stock, but all i get is the 3e recovery loop. any ideas? in the recovery (3e) after one flashes, it gives: E:cant mount /dev/block/st110; E:delete_files_for_s1_data:cant mount DATA; Cache wipe failed. any help would be appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] regretz:
which rom are you flashing with odin?

open odin 1.7 first on your computer

put your phone in download mode

odin should detect it

use ODIN whitehawkx KC1 found on this page

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1117554

then just press start and wait for it to finish (approx. 2mins 35secs for me)

when its done, it will reboot you into the blue stock recovery and just reboot it and let the rom load for 10mins or so
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] paczek:
i tried the stock KD1, the screen turned all blue one time, and when i threw my sd into my computer, it was in read-only state, and couldnt add or delete any files
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Don't do kd1. go into the bible and find the noobs guide to odin. Follow those directions and you should be ok. Let me know how it goes
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] paczek:
should i do KB5 custom or the KD1 + root? also, the kb5 gets hung at modem. I'm following the guide and only putting it in PDA in odin, and no PIT file
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
I did kb5 and it worked fine for me
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] paczek:
kb5 will not load all the way. kd1 gives me recovery loops. ive gotten kb5 to load, but does recovery loops, never boots into system
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] regretz:
ok now try KC1 ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] paczek:
Kc1 worked
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] steeleain:
Kc1 is the best to start with especially if you plan on flashing other roms like team whiskey's bionix roms or team acids icbinb :-) don't forget , read read read.... and Check your mounts ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] paczek:
Why doesnt kd1 work?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] steeleain:
I think kd1 had a corrupt partition
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinxtreme:
I have an HTC Evo with a clean ESN and everything.

The thing is I bought this to use it on either Boost Mobile or metroPCS.

I currently have a metroPCS phone that's activated and running up on metroPCS's network. However I lost it (at church) but still have the box with the ESN and everything

I was just wondering if it was possible to switch up the ESN of the Evo with the metroPCS one? Possibly so I don't have to go to metro and pay a $10 fee to get it in their systems? I mean this is what they have to do when flashing boost mobile phones, can I do the same with metroPCS?

Setting it up on metroPCS is not a problem with me since there's a guide on how to do that, it's just the ESN thing, if it was possible to do that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] github:
ESN fraud is illegal.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piercedgeek:
^ what he said

Also, you'd need a $100 piece of software (or a free virus/malware infected copy) to even try(I say try cause you may break the phone in the process), just pay the MetroPCS fee, you're already saving like $600/year vs going with Sprint, what's $10?

If your new to rooting then I know it can be scary with all the "if you mess up" blah blah blah everywhere but its actually really simple and very little risk, IF YOU FOLLOW DIRECTIONS TO A T, and I agree with the others that the copy and paste method is the best way.
[Thunderbolt General] eraursls1984:
The hardest part of rooting, for me, has always been getting the right drivers, once you do that its a cake walk.
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
follow this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKPSe12YDxQ

followed by the sticky by jcase in the dev section for rooting.

The video shows you how to get adb on your computer and how to add the text so adb will get the proper drivers.

After that, it really is simple.
[Thunderbolt General] XD):
This is a tutorial for the easy method, I used it to root my thunderbolt and it took about 45 min but it was easy pretty much just pressing one bitten every ten minutes and then leaving it alone and letting it do its thing. The download links and everything are in the description. Here's the link

[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
Let me roughly paraphrase how the conversation is going to go down if you insist on the easy way....

Noob: "Well hells bells mawd! The frickin thing didn't root and I dunno why! I'll have to ask someone at XDA or IRC #thunderbolt for help..."

Dev: "sure! I'd n happy to help! Just being up your ADB shell and type (fill in arcane Linux commands here)."

Noob: "ADwhat?!?! English man!"

Dev: "uh.... (Face in palm, wondering why he does this anyways, thinks to himself "Why do I even bother?") It's the android debugging bridge. I hope you have it set up and have a clue how to use it. It would make my life much easier.

Noob: "No clue man. Tell me what to do."

Dev: "If you'd done it the right way instead of the easy way, this would be much easier. Go get the android SDK, install it, set it up and make sure in connects, then get back with me."

Noob: "But.... Uh...."

You end up learning a good bit that will help you out and anyone helping you if something goes wrong. Also, as you try different ROMs and run into an issue, you'll have somewhat of a clue what to do to get them the info the need to fix the problem. It's not that hard and doesn't take much time to learn. Rooting is actually a fairly technical thing that knowledgeable and skilled programmers have sorted out for the masses to be able to do. It's helpful to everyone to have as much knowledge as possible.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajay1629:
Hey guys,

This is another HELP! post, I recently tried to install the O B S S E S S I O N custom rom. I have installed serendipity before and never had a problem with it. I reverted back to the factory reset and everything appeared ok. Well, I got to the point where I installed the new rom and when it reboots, all I see is the "AT&T World Phone." The sound from the Galaxy S screen plays but it just stays on that same AT&T screen. I was going to go into downloading mode and do the Odin reset but the phone will no longer go into downloading mode. I'm just not sure what to do at this point, so any help is greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Take out the battery SD and sim connect your phone to the computer and press Vol +- and insert battery. There are a few more key combos (depending on what Bootloaders you have) if none of them work i suggest getting a Jig. You can buy them in Ebay or Mobiletechvideos. You can make one alot faster and probably cheaper with this guide. Even if you are able to get in to down load mode its always a good idea to make/buy a jig to have around.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajay1629:
Thanks, I've tried to get it into download mode the way you described and it just does not want to do it. I had to buy a new Captivate yesterday, so I will probably just bring it back to the store and exchange it with another one, and just claim ignorance to the issue lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
I stand by the Jig though, anyone modding their captivate or any SGS should have a jig around.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twicebak3d:
This is true, but you have to hold vol up/vol down BEFORE you insert usb lol. I had the same issue. ended up being kernel was the problem. I was able to get into dl mode with vol up/down insert just fine, though. Like Bassplayer said, get a JIG :D it's like cheap insurance. Not full coverage, but it isn't going to leave you stranded either :P
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajay1629:
Yeah I saw the Jigs are only $8, I am definitely going to be purchasing one tonight just to have it in case
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popfan:
The other way to do it is while your battery and sdcard and chip are out plug in the usb, then hit the vol up/down buttons, followed by placing your battery in while still holding the buttons.

[HTC Sensation] smacman:
We all know that the Sensation has suffered from its fair share of bugs and glitches (every new device does) but what I didn't know prior to buying this phone is that models sold in HK (Unbranded or Branded) are not supported in the same manner as the rest of the world. I hope this post can prevent someone else form making the same mistake as me.

After reading forums and talking to people, it became clear that devices in HK were either missing software updates entirely, or getting them months later than the rest of Asia (or the world for that matter).

I contacted HTC about this and spoke with Mike at the HK Customer Service center. He confirmed that HTC Hong Kong has a different policy regarding updates and has no plans to EVER release small incremental updates. He even referred to previous handsets (HTC Desire HD models in HK didn't receive the updates that the rest of the world did) saying that the only time exceptions have been made to this policy is when a major OS update 2.1->2.2 has been issued. Apparently unlike other regions, it is standard policy not to release small updates in Hong Kong. He also doubted that the bootloader update (expected in August) would be available for Hong Kong branded phones stating the models sold in HK are treated separately from other global models. Although I tried to get him to give me an explanation for this bizarre policy, the only answer I could get is that most HK customers are happy with the current release.

As it stands now, HK Sensations are stuck on software version number 1.28.708.2 and HTC HK is categorically stating that they will remain here indefinitely.

Lesson learned for me is to never buy an HTC device in HK ever again.

Does anyone know if there is a way to flash a standard Asia rom (region 707) to a HK phone (region 708)?
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
i have 1.28.720.2...i thought mine was sourced from HK...have any idea what the 720 region is?
[HTC Sensation] laidbackfreak:
I bought mine in HK, it came with the Asian rom on it :-)

I would expect come the unlock you can then put what ever you like on it :-) but not until then.

and no idea where 720 is, hopefully someone else can tell you.

Let me ask you something, how do you pronounce it in your head? For me its always been eco-c (second o semi silent, and

c has the e sound), some may say eco-o-key (I hate the way that sounds).

Anyway, I'm serious when I say this, I really admire Mystery, I can remeber when we both were new to Android, it was hilarious to see his postings sometimes. And I can remeber a great moment when I jumped into a thread for HTC Evo (caught my eye on xda app front page). The thread was about quadrant scores, so I went in and posted a 3??? Something if I remeber right (I forget why I went in, I need to see the title again,point, I wasn't trolling). So then I started getting all this **** like, "that's a lag fix", and I said no, that's a better cpu/gpu, and ext4. Then he came back with some " oh, because vodoo makes a lag fix for Galaxy S phones", that's when it got crazy, because at that point the vodoo fix was only the cache mod for quadrant, which is BS and dosnt speed anything up, so its not a lag fix; I stated this, then went on to say either way, you call these things lag fixes when this phone (epic) had no lag to begin with. Then Mystery popped in and started killing some Evo junkies, me and him both. I remeber saying "If you call anything that gives you a "real" increase in perfomance a "lag fix", then I have about 30 lag fixes on my phone.

Edit::: The Evo junkie was saying EXT4was a lag fix, me and Mytery kept trying to explain its a file system, and that it gives a good 30% increase in quadrant. He kept on and on about how it wasn't far, and we kept saying it is far in many diffrent ways, I just don't think the guy knew about EXT4...

Anyway, I really do respect Mystery and feel another big part of development is gone, he was getting so good, and learning so much... This is a person Ill not forget,ever...

Now on a serious note. I'm selling my epic but I'm not gonna leave the community. so I will continue to help others as I can.

Some of the people here know have reached	a finacial situation. I have been wanting to sell my epic for some time now but I pushed as long as I could. I've sold my show car, my truck, and my custom truck. I even sold my ps3. The only toy I have left is my epic and I will be posting it on craigslist friday night. This gives me a week to finish sfr1.3 and update emotionless beast.

the reasoning behind me selling my toys is because my ol lady lost her job. the company she worked	for was bought out and they fired everyone one in managment and brought in there own people. In this tuff economy she is having a hard time finding another job and unemployment ain't cutting it.

I have 2 kids in private school with a 3rd one starting this year. I will not put my kids in public school as I want them to have the best education. But at the same time I need to keep a roof over there head and food in there stomachs.

This isn't the chit chat club here, this isn't the AA meeting, etc. if you bring in personal life stuff in these forums over and over and over expect to be trolled. I know I would fully expect it if I did it. I know I expect people to talk about the Epic, new software, new themes, new tips and tricks here. So with all the nonsense going on it just gets downright laughable and people get tired of it. It's unfortunate that we do not have a serious Epic forum. I've been members of many other device forums and none of this ever went on. I just don't enjoy coming here on a daily basis since I have to weed through 10 pounds of crap.
