my usb has quit working to charge my mt3g/magic unless I turn off the phone. That is the only way i can get it to charge. does anyone have an idea of the problem i am having. I have gone back to barebones stock and have replaced the battery. anyone care to stab at this one?
[HTC Desire S] jullejul:
Hi. i used Alpharevx, but i had no internet so i could not use the recovery option. so how do i get root now? i tried to download it and change name to update.zip and flashed from recovery but didn't work :confused: thanks in advance
[HTC Desire S] Nopileus:
To achieve root you should run Gingerbreak 1.2 (if s-off worked)

It will say that its not sure if it worked and that you have to reboot yourself, but thats normal.

To get clockwork recovery you can install rom manager from the android market and flash it through that.
[HTC Desire S] jullejul:
I tried with gingerbreak and the phone reboot after. No msg?

After that I tried to download Rom manager from market but doesn't work to install.

But I tried another program that needs root and it says I don't got root :S
[HTC Desire S] gr3yh0und:
We got the same problem. Uses Gingerbreak 1.2 restarts then nothing happens. At the same time after I S-OFF It feels like I lost signal
[HTC Desire S] jullejul:
tried with version gingerbreak 1.1, it seems like it work. going to get a link to rom manager beacuse i can download from market.

im gonig to try to use titanium backup to see if root works ;)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
try re-running ginger break v1.2 . if this doesn't work post again
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
there is a free market app called root checker that will confirm whether you have root.
[HTC Desire S] jullejul:
jupp it worked, got woot with version 1.1 but can't mount sd card.

ye going to try that :) hope i can mount sd after :)

EDIT : i removed the battery and reinserted the sd disk. and now i got root and can mount my card :)

guide how i did:

1 run gingerbrake 1.1

2 reboot

3 remove battery and sd card

4 insert sd card and battery

5 start the phone :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbollag:
I have been having all sorts of problems with my phone, mainly from it running super low on storage space, even though I have moved virtually everything to the SD card that I can, and keep wiping the address book (which of course screws everything up). Some kind folks had helped me out a lot, but in the end suggested I just wipe it all and start over, but I was waiting to get a new SD card, which I finally have, and I just wanted to make sure I understand everything correctly before leaping in.

So I understand I need to format the SD card, and I was hoping someone could give me or point me to a guide to doing so. I understand I need to get A2SD, is that right? And so once I format it, I can just put everything on my old card onto the new one, yeah? And I understand I need to install Amon RA and get rid of Clockwork Mod, I get that. So then after I do all that, I should just flash a new ROM and not restore anything, and if things seem better, then I can batch restore apps, is that right? I think I just want to stick with the stock ROM, but is there a rooted version of the latest update available?

If someone would be so kind as to walk me through this one last time, keeping in mind I am pretty much a noob, that would be much appreciated.

Oh, I also would love to do the Firerat custom MTD partitions thing (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=855424), tried to do it once before but screwed some things up, had to revert back to a previous backup, so figured now would be a good time to try that again, so if anyone can give me the rundown on that too, that would be super.

Thanks so much!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emcp422:
im gonna try and help you here, first back up everything you have on your sd card to your computer so you dont loose it when partitioning, then download a PCIMG36.zip of amon ra, put it on sd card and boot into bootloader and select yes when prompted, that will put amon ra as your recovery. now that you have amon ra and already backed up the stuff in your sd card to your computer go ahead and in recovery selcect partition sd card, its gonna ask you for a swap size( i use 0 but you can use 32 if you like, 0 works fine), then its going to ask for partition size for me 1024 is more than enough(1024 equals 1gb), once this is done, select upgrade ext2 to ext3. now your sd card is partitioned. you can go ahead and put all your stuff back into your sd card and flash the rom(for a2sd to work your rom has to have it built in, other wise you are going to have to flash it) if your rom has it built in it will automatically kick in. once your rom is flashed you can go ahead and restore apps, i would do them one by one, sometimes there are issues when doing batch, and also unless the app is really important i would only restore the app not its data, but i do restore app and data for important apps. if all goes well you should have a lot more free memory on your phone, you can check if apps are going to sd ext by opening titanium back up and at the bottom you should see sd a2sd or sd ext and next to it amount of free memory, if your phone internal is still low after all this and gets lower when installing apps you can fix it by going into terminal emulator and typing

su (hit enter)

a2sd reinstall (hit enter, this will move all apps to sd ext)

any more questions ust ask
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
With the new 2.1/3.0 hybrids, you're better off using larger partitions. I found swap 64 or 128 and EXT of 2048 works out better, if you have an 8gig or larger SD Card
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbollag:
Thanks so much for the quick responses! I am going to give this a shot later tonight, but another quick question.

I think I've got down how to partition it, thanks a lot for breaking that down for me. And I did just get a 32 GB SD card, so I'll go with the 128 swap and EXT of 2048, that's no big deal.

Now for what ROM to flash - I've just used the stock before, haven't flashed any other ROMs, but if I'm going this far, figure I might as well give it a try, why not. So what ROM would you recommend that has A2SD already built in?? If you could just give me a quick run down (or point me to somewhere where there is one, I'm sure it already exists) on how to go about flashing the ROM (I think I just download it though and install it through bootloader, is that right??), that would be super appreciated.

Thanks again!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
Roms are flashed through recovery and what Rom to use wow that will get you a lot of opinions.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emcp422:
man there are so many roms for so many tastes, but i would suggest Vaelpak 3.2 rc2 which is still a sense rom, but has a lot of customization options. to flash your fresh rom you need to put the rom on your sd card, then turn off phone, go into bootloader, go into recovery, select wipe, and wipe cache, dalvik cache and data, do each twice to make sure, then go back and select flash zip from sd card, scroll to the bottom and look for the rom, select it and reboot
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbollag:
Once again, thanks for the replies and the detailed explanation, much appreciated. Didn't get around to it last night, will do so tonight. I definitely understand there are a ton of ROMs out there, but am just looking for something pretty simple I guess, since all I've used is the stock so far. Vaelpak 3.2 rc2 sounds good, I'll give that a try. So just to make sure I understand, when I install this ROM, that's everything, right, so I don't need to worry about installing the latest Android software. Or do I still need to install the latest Gingerbread update (and if so, how do I go about doing that?) in addition to installing this ROM?

Sorry for the million questions, and thanks again!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
VaelPak is a very extensive ROM. If you REALLY want to stay close to stock, but have the most updated, complete, streamlined, error free experience, go with Synergy or MikG.

I LOVE VaelPak, but there is a LOT of options, themeing, development, etc in there. It's definitely not for a beginner. Also, his newest release, which is based in GB is pretty awesome, but it's an AOSP Rom, which I'm not a fan of.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbollag:
Hi all,

So this is really strange, I feel like I must just be missing something, but I finally pulled the trigger, did it all, flashed my first ROM (exciting!) and all seems to have gone smoothly, except that I cannot figure out how to access Titanium Backup?!? I thought it came with MikG (I decided to give that ROM a shot), but did not see it, so went to the Market and re-downloaded it, and it says downloaded, but I cannot click on "open" and it is nowhere to be found in the apps list, or anywhere for that matter. Help! What the heck is going on? Any thoughts?

Thanks much!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjshleprock:
Did you have a notification saying "Titatium Backup Installed" or something like that? I've had the same problem in the Gingersense roms if I leave the market before the download AND installation is complete. Not every time but sometimes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbollag:
I was just being a little slow there, I had installed the key, but not the actual program. Oops :) So all good, got that working, but a couple quick more questions.

Sadly it seems that I did not have TB set to backup everything on a regular basis, looks like it was just set up to backup new apps and new versions (yikes!, I know). So I've been restoring some apps little by little, and when I restored Angry Birds I noticed I was stuck back on the first level and I was like, this isn't right, looked at the date, and last backup was like March/April. This is kind of a drag for some things, like that, and especially beyondPod, lost all my settings and a number of feeds there, but I think it's probably just something I'm going to have to live with, right? I of course made a nandroid right before I wiped and flashed, but it seems like even more of a hassle to go back to that nandroid, backup things to Titanium, then reflash MikG and restore everything again, rather than just recreating what I've lost, right? Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something, there's no other way around this.

Thanks for any assistance.

Hey,

I'm new to this whole rooting thing. Can someone plz pm me or post here on a tutorial where it'll show me how to easily root and unroot my original Droid. Tried using z4root but it freezes on "acquiring root shell". Got the apk from 4shared.com don't know if it was a bad copy or what, but it no work. If u don't understand I'm sry no so good at English.
[HTC Sensation] D200P13:
Does the sensation make cracking sounds when you press on the screen with little effort? It is similar to the sound the back battery cover makes when it gets pressed on other devices. Just quivering if its a defect or normal. I think its the noise of the edge of the screen rubbing with the frame of the phone.
[HTC Sensation] ipwngeek:
There are a lot of threads about this. A lot off people are getting new covers from HTC. You can also try to put a little tape on the inside of the cover, to make.it more snug (:
[HTC Sensation] D200P13:
so this is common and most people can hear a noise of the phones cover when the screen is pressed using about the same amount of pressure as snapping your fingers?
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Yeah. It's a defect with the back casing. I didn't have it for the first week or so that I owned the phone but it started appearing after that.
[HTC Sensation] Phily757:
What did you do after getting this issue?
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Currently in the process of getting a warranty exchange.
[HTC Sensation] D200P13:
i wonder if you will get a brand new phone or refurbished or re-certified phone? let us know please! also could you let me know what to do to get it exchanged? like to call or email? contact htc or carrier?
[HTC Sensation] Phily757:
+1
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
I'm getting it next week so I'll let you know. I did my exchange through T-Mobile. I tried doing it online, but the CSR rep wasn't picking up on what I said so I just called. They handle all the stuff for me and are sending me a phone from HTC.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
I got my replacement today and it was just the phone, not the back cover. Not sure if it's a refurb or a new model. I have no more creaking sounds and the screen doesn't "give" anymore either. Hope that helps.
[HTC Sensation] BlackElvis79:
If it makes a noise when you press "right there" then don't press right there. Never in by wildest dreams have I ever thought of returning my phone cuz it made "a noise". I'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous. You complain about sounds created from actions that aren't part of everyday use. It's like you sit and look for defects just so you have something to complain about. It's insane. I'm sorry if this comes off as rude or a rant, but it just bugs me seeing just so many useless threads like this.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
If you're talking to me, it isn't the only issue I had. I had light leaking through the bottom left hand corner, the text/screen flicker issue, and the fact the battery would overheat while charging at times. I paid a premium price for the phone and I expect to get my money's worth. I don't think that's unfair.
[HTC Sensation] D200P13:
I agree. i have searched and found a bunch of people that had the creaking sound when pressing on the screen. unsure why but my intention was to find out of it was common and everyone had this issue or not. i also have screen problems at times and that is when i called tmobile about it and at the end mentioned the creaking sound. the back shell is defective thats why its creaking. if i really wanted to start picking things to complain and return the device i would have done that for not having a external sd or small pointless crap like that or how the official case covers holes in the back. i also had pixalation problems on the screen. my biggest problem was just i had to press the screen a bunch of times just to get it to respond. we are paying $500+ for phones so we expect them to work!
[HTC Sensation] BlackElvis79:
Most if not all of those issues were made known in various reviews of the Sensation before it was officially released.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
On some units, yes. But not all units have these issues. I didn't even mention the lock screen issue when half of the screen disappears or the ring isn't responsive. I wouldn't mind if I only had one of those issues, but all of them combined got to be too much.
[HTC Sensation] BlackElvis79:
I see your point, but I guess what I'm trying to get at is that me personally, I read up a whole lot on every phone I get before I make that jump to buy. I have "a person" that gets the newest gadgets to me alot cheaper than retail and I still read up. So, if i was gonna pay $600 for a new device, please believe I'd have studied on it long and hard first, knowing all of the pros and cons, and weighing them out. Them making the purchase and being satisfied with what I'd bought because I made a solid decision after thoroughly researching it.

BTW, sorry to hear you got a bad one. So far, the only issue I've had with mine has been the fact that sometimes it takes 5 or 6 tries to unlock the screen cuz the icons move instead of the ring, so I can understand your frustration.
[HTC Sensation] rawr4dj:
Omg its not just me? Dude half my lock screen dissapears as well my only issue is this a a Software or Hardware issue?
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
Did it have anything about the warranty? New units have one year. Refurbs come with 90 days. So if it was a new unit, it could technically say 1 year. I dont know for sure, just guessing. How's the quality of the replacement unit? Any scratches/blemishes anywhere? Thx.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
I think it's software. I'm not having the issue on my new unit, but we'll see. It started appearing on my original after a week or so.

No, it didn't. Not as far as I can tell.

It's not too bad. Don't see any scratches/dust/or whatever. The speaker isn't as good as my old one and the yellow tint is a bit noticeable, but there's no screen flicker. Other then that it's a pretty good phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] DaleV:
Here is a little workaround or fix, either way, for the EC09 download problem. I have tried it on stock EC09, replace apk and remove odex file. It also works on TSM and Nameless, I have tried it on all of them.

There are some apk's provided here that if you replace what is currently in your /system/app folder they will fix the download issues.It also makes youtube and netflix work reliably, at least in my case. I have not had others test this out, I wanted to get this out to the XDA community to try out. You have to copy these into the app folder, if you try installing it will fail, I have used root explorer, available in market (not free), and Android Commander, Google it (requires Android SDK setup) to copy these strait to the app folder. your phone will vibrate through most of this it's just complaining about the change. Now for what you really want, the files, ok fine here they are. Please feel free to post results, good or bad, here.

Download Provider APK

Download Provider UI APK

DRM Provider APK

DRM UA APK

SEC Download Provider APK

Security Provider APK

BTW: after every reboot i get a DRM has stopped working message right as everything finishes loading, just click on the Force Close. It only seems to happen on boot and after you close it the app will work fine.

Now you can also get this in a flashable zip courtesy of BakedTator, thanks for the hook up on that.

Download Fix Zip File

OK Devs, Hope these help y'all figure out whats wrong with our leak, if not PLEASE feel free to use these.

And an extra little treat, Netflix from the market works even though it isn't available to us yet, so here it is, non modded downloaded and tested with all EC09 builds, and it has worked on every one of them for me.

[Fascinate Android Development] DaleV:
Can't remember for sure but I think I got them from the nitrality, or something like that, app, in the market. The appear lets you download updated apps for sgs phones. I will find the app again and let you know for sure Jitsu, I don't have that kind of TSM skill YET to mod apps.

Just found it it was the nitrality app from the market.

If you flash a kernel or recovery you have to reboot directly after flashing it. Hence the giant =) SYSTEM UPDATED REBOOT NOW! when flashing either.... If no kernel or recovery then no need to reboot between....
[Fascinate Android Development] times_infinity:
Meh, if this zip isn't flashing a kernel then it can be flashed pretty much immeditately after commrom. The system update text that flashes everywhere is produced by redbend_ua during kernel flashing. bmlwrite doesn't do that. Soo flashing this after flashing the should be fine.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
I calibrated the battery using the battery calibration app and suddenly all of my music has disappeared. I can access and play the music via the file explorer, but none of it appears in the stock music app or 3 music player. I can only assume this is a different issue to the .nomedia file (or whatever it's called) as it only happened after the battery died and I restarted. Currently re-copying the music to see if it does anything but any other solutions would be useful.

Edit: Copying again didn't work. It turns out that everything is f**ked up. Currentwidget not working, battery monitor not working, market not downloading stuff... I'm just going to update the build to ACA 9 July.

Arabic Support in SGS2 with Gingerbread 2.3.4

Lonexl:

If you're in a rush that you can't wait till the official release of the arabized 2.3.4 then your only choice would be to to switch to a deodexed rom (I am using Darky's ROM) - google " rom-base-sgs2-2-3-4-darkyrom2-xxkg1-base.4059 " to get it

The problem with this is that the programs/browsers that use the support library "libwebcore.so" will not be able to render Arabic correctly due to the fact that till date no one successfully compiled libwebcore.so from the webkit provided by samsung with arabic support patched in; However, firefox should work fine with stock font.

If that doesn't matter then after flashing the ROM just apply the update attached in this post using ClockWorkMod Recovery or simply upload the files framework.jar into /system/framework; libicuuc-arabic.so & libanrdoid_runtime.so into /system/lib using root explorer or any other method/tool.

Cheers.
[General Questions and Answers] Lonexl:
Thanks for your reply, although neither methods worked for me, perhaps this would benefit someone else.... :rolleyes:

Clockworkmod wont work on my mobile for some reason and attempting to copy the lib and jar files did not either using rom manager (getting permission errors).

So may be I have to wait for a simple firmware that can be fired away via good old Odin.
[General Questions and Answers] brightidea:
It should be straight-forward process to get CWM you need to flash a kernel with CWM built-in. I suggest that you try "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_CLK_KF3-v4.0-CWM4.zip" from this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

However, the one mentioned in Darky's thread "Supercore..1.0" should do anyway..

Once flashed you need to reboot your device with the three buttons down (power+home+up) to get the recovery menu. If you use that ROM you need to exercise patience as it will take a very long time to display the menu.

The stock ROM recovery will not allow you to flash the update because it's not signed by Samsung.
[General Questions and Answers] Lonexl:
Thanks mate for your message. Athough i really appreciate your help must admit, I found the above message rather confusing.

"If you use that ROM (Which ROM are you referring to) you need to exercise patience as it will take a very long time to display the menu. The follow on step is not clear either.

When I installed arabic support to my SGS2 2.3.3 via one firmware & ODIN, straightforward process.... and for the non-tech "occaisional users" like yours sincerely the easiest way is to Start Odin, load firmware, click start and.... bingo.

Lookslike I will either have to wait for such firmware or search other sites.

Cheers.
