[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obecny:
Hi just bought my sgs2 few days ago and installed my first custom r roms, some of it come with nice crt off animation and all of them on my phone don't look as should, so I start to worry about my device.

When I press the power button in standard behaviour of this animation screen getting plain white colour for a moment and than is covered by a black bars from all four sides but in my phone the white background is full of some rubbish black/white dots and lines as typical memory bug or something with gpu, there is no other problems with this phone. I have tried many times with different roms, formatted cache and data, dalvik and all what possible but with no results.

Any of you noticed something like that? My phone is still under warranty or even can exchange it in shop for new one if broken but this animation is not included in any stock rom so no option to explain in shop what actually is wrong.

Or maybe this is a normal behaviour in this phone?

Another thing if I trying to get back to any of 2.3.3 stock rom I finishing with bootloop every time.

Thanks for all help

crt animation has been messed up from day 1, reboot fixes it, but it will come back in time.

When in airplane mode it works correctly. Everyone has this problem, I really dont understand why rom devs put the effect in because it looks horrible.

Even in airplane mode it does not look like it should, its all white. But it is supposed to look like your screen distorting to red green and blue and then stretch out to the sides.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
oh so no point to flash screeenOff animation because is lagg, and only reboot can fix, but it will come back in time?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
I was think is only me like that !!! !!

OK so I agree with:

Hi , i'm experiencing problems with the wifi on my P500, It keeps on disconnecting and disable-ing itself.

Here are my phone's stats:

Any help would be appreciated. Also I remembered francisofranco onced posted a file called wifi.ko around here anyone could upload that?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
Are you able to connect to the same Wifi network using some other device? AFAIK this could be a problem with the Wifi network rather than the phone.
[Acer Iconia A500] Sector51:
First of all, hello to all!!

I think I messed up my device. I was impatient about the 3.1 update so I decided to flash a custom rom.

Before this my device was untouched. I read some threads and i did the root with Gingerbreak.apk (went good) and installed CWM with acer recovery installer (went good).

I downloaded a custom rom and put it on a SD card that i formatted using a phone (galaxy s)

Next i booted up in recovery (CWM) and did a full wipe.

I put the custom rom on my SD card (tried Taboonay and Picasso).

Now I select Update from zip -> I select the file and I get the following error:

- E:Cant opent /sdcard/NAMEOFROM.zip

(BAD)

I get the same error on both roms!

I did a full wipe so what can i try?? I'm stuck on the acer logo now!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] naplesbill:
The first thing you should try is using a different MicroSD card. Either the card is corrupt or the files you downloaded are corrupt.

You should also try formatting the card with your PC.
[Acer Iconia A500] UnicornKaz:
I wish that people would start using MD5 checksum along with their uploaded files...etc

That being said... sometimes it's also the download connection itself...

anyway... one way to test the file for corruption before flashing is to try and extract a small size file from it to the desktop and see if WinRar or WinZip popup any error... if the file extract fine... you're good to go ;)

Not sure about your menu choosing with CWM... but the proper way is:

/ install zip from sdcard

/ choose zip from sdcard

2 things...

watch the naming of your file.... select choosing zip from sdcard let your file have any names.

if you choose install update.zip option.... filename have to be update.zip

~~~
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
first of allo i would go back to stock. custom roms my have problems.

for europe find a 4.10.22 rom

for asia find 4.10.24 rom

dl and extract the zip file.

format you sd card with fat32

it should contain a file called update.zip, put this one on your card.

put the sd card back on your acer and volume- and power until cwm shows up.

reflash update.zip

that should do the job.

stay away from custom rom's if you don't know exactly what you are doing, because you where using the wrong su for the wrong rom version, and possibly also the wrong cwm.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
First of all you should do a backup or you'll soon see what a nightmare going back to stock can be.
[Acer Iconia A500] boganslaw:
The full wipe they did, put play to the backup.

take a box...

put your tablet inside...

then go in a nice field, with some daisies, and other nice flowers...

take your shovel...

dig a hole big enough to put the box inside...

put the box inside the hole

..... cry a little...

drop a rose , red one is really good

grab a little bit of soil...

drop it on the box

.... cry more...

cover the box with the soil...

... cry like a sissy....

say a last words...

... put a flower on the place you want.. bottom center will be great...

stay a little while and cry...

then.... walk away... back your home...take a shower... take a big glasses of milk... and rest a little...

It's hard I know but you will survive to this great lost....

OR

just put a full non OTA file on your sdcard and restart your tablet in recovery mode (Power + Vol -) and that will make the things, unless you can't go in recovery mode...

so then plug your USB (pray), open adb and when you are stuck on ACER logo, type ADB reboot recovery (somthing like that)

[XPERIA X10 General] FormBee:
I know it has probably already been said but I couldn't find it.....

I back up in xrecovery weekly, what else should I be doing, wipe battery stats? If so should the battery be charged? Fix permissions? Wipe cache partition? Dalvik cache? Anything else?

Any advice appreciated.

[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
When you say backup, is that all you do? Do u just make a backup of current rom? If so you do not need to do anything else like wiping battery stats and dalvik cache.

These things only need doing if you are flashing new roms or occasionally needs doing when manually installing/updating some system apps like for example when I installed new market last week.
[XPERIA X10 General] FormBee:
Thanks, yea I just back up the current rom.

I too installed the new market, but there is no apparent ill effect.

Should I just leave it alone?

[XPERIA X10 General] FormBee:
Aw.

But I like to tinker.

:(

SE X10i 2.3.3 CM7.0.3
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
I know the feeling believe me!!! ;) :D

But sometimes, it doesn't do any good (I learned the hard way).

For example, let's take wiping Dalvik Cache:

Dalvik Cache is the cache area for the program Dalvik.

Dalvik is a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) that is used as base for running your apps (the ones that have the .apk extension).

In order to make access times faster, Dalvik doing an optimization of the running applications, resulting in the Dalvik Cache.

Think of it as similar to the files prefetch in Windows.

So, every time you clean it, you are causing your phone to re-generate it from scratch, thus making it slower for a while and stressing its CPU.

There are of course cases when it needs to be cleaned, but in those cases it's usually pretty obvious (like when you replace a system app and you get FCs).

I hope I helped you a bit! :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shendoz:
I did all of root, radio s-off, ENG s-off, super CID and Sim Unlock, but now i wanna using shootme app, it shows that my device is not rooted, however when i using Terminal Emulator, it has change from $ to #, so which means my device is rooted, right?

Sometime my superuser app will force close if i choose unroot button in visionary+...what should i do now? it seems like my device is crash now T.T
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapester:
I would downgrade again and root it with this guide

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#VERIFY_.28using_.22gfree_verify.22.29

with 1 small change of flashing CWM 3.2.0.0 instead of 3.0.2.5 as quoted in the guide.

then Nandroid backup and flash ur custom rom, in ur case this rom would be Virtuous Unity

This method of Rooting does not use Visionary so DO NOT install visionary if u use this root guide.

another possible cause for ur Superuser Force close is maybe it needs updating the other month i temp lost root on a CM7-Nightly and the cause was i needed to flash updated superuser, the version you need is "2.3.6.3 efgh" for Gingerbread roms

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geeum:
Hello everyone,

I have a problem with my HTC desire.

I was running Leedroid for more than 6 months and everything was fine.

Yesterday morning, my phone went battery-dead and then when I started it plugin-in to the power socket it turned on and got stuck at the HTC screen.

I can enter bootloader (I guess ?) by pressing power + back but then I don't know what to do (I have a white screen with several menus I can browse with vol up/down) ?

I also tried going with a RUU (RUU MoDaCo Version: 1.15.405.4) and it does detect my phone but won't finish.

Is there anything I can do ?

Geeum
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Why won't it finish?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geeum:
No idea, it doesn't say.

I believe my phone is soft bricked, I can access hboot and fastbood so i'm pretty sure I can do something about it.

I read something about a unbrick thing you could launch from fastboot ? But can't find it.

Geeum
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Try to flash this ruu:

http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe

Boot phone in fastboot mode and follow instructions on the screen. Does it give you any errors?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geeum:
Everything goes well, it does the sending part then gets stuck at signature update:

Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geeum:
FYI I tried to create a gold card but adb devices doesn't return anything so I don't know if I can create a goldcard.

fastbood devices does return something though.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Adb will run only if adb debugging is allowed, so Booted state or recovery state. In fastboot mode, only Fastboot will run. Have you overwritten recovery yet? If not, you flash another rom. If yes, are you S-Off? If so, you can flash an Hboot/recovery in Fastboot mode
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geeum:
I think I did. I downloaded ClockworkMod Recovery and put it in my tools folder then typed 'fastboot flash recovery /path/to/<recovery>.img':

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.8-bravo.img

sending 'recovery' (3412 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.563s]

writing 'recovery'...

(bootloader) signature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

finished. total time: 0.922s

How ? I tried to put another ROM at the root of my sdcard but not sure how to go from then on. Here is whet I tried, with leedroid v2.5:

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot update leedroid.zip

archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'

archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'

error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt

Don't know what S-On means ?

Can you tell me more ?

Thanks for your help it's greatly appreciated.

Geeum
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
You cant flash custom roms from fastboot

You can flash recovery, and each of the .img files included in the Clockworkmod backup folder, but only if you're S-off. Apparently you're S-On (Security on. For S-off, Alpharev should have been used)..

Were you foresighted enough to make a gold card? If you hadnt, you have to find the RUU you successfully flashed last, or the RUU corresponding to the region of your device and brand.

You can read more on two of the threads I started. Click on my userid, and choose "Threads started by DZ". Look for "How to unbrick an SLCD Desire (which works for AMOLED too)" and "How to unroot" both of which should give you a comprehensive idea of how to approach your problem.

The update went until the end but now my phone boots and reboots after a couple of seconds (not fixed: sometimes I can go to unlock my simcard, sometimes a bit longer ...)

I'm getting desperate everytime I think I'm making advance there something new.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geeum:
Now what ? I'm gone back to the original state: frozen on HTC screen :(

Hey guys, went to the bootloader and erased all data. This time for some reason it rebooted fine and now the phone seems to be working.

- What can I do so in the future I have all I need for recovering ?

- I already have a goldcard

- what about the recovery ? Should I install something ?

- I liked leedroid, so thinking of going back to 2.5 what do you think?

Thanks for your help you re the best !

Only remove bloat AFTER OTA update as mentioned.

Just stick with what your doing gingerbreak. Can take some time to get root access.

Or you could use this method if you can unlock bootloader on your phone. do ota to .145 only if your bootloader is locked, (dont do ota if you already have unlocked bootloader it will brick your device) then unlock bootloader and flash pre rooted .145 system image.
[Xperia Play General] killa92:
I havnt unlocked my bootloader so itl be locked, ideally id like to keep it like this for SEUS updates and warranty. Does gingerbreak work with .184?, and does this .184 mean i have generic firmware already on the phone but just not rooted? And i take it .145 will be 2.3.3?, thought it would be easier on 2.3.2

P.S- I am using V1.2 as this is the latest

Cheers for the reply!
[Xperia Play General] Sgt-Hartley:
Yes gingerbreak will root 2.3.2 Rom but ur can take a while. Once its rooted it should stay rooted even after ota
[Xperia Play General] killa92:
Righty ho, the only different after this finally working is an app called superuser... I still cannot modify application permissions or delete applications of the phone such as the standard games showing in the menu like bruce lee etc.

So how do i find if my phone is rooted, and is there actually any pros to this :S:S
[Xperia Play General] TheBassman369:
You have root. Now you need applications to do what you say.

Superuser is there to grant those apps permission.

[Xperia Play General] killa92:
Cheers dudes!, i think i get it now. Basically im ALLOWED to access all roots and files now but usually an application is used to achieve this but am correct in saying modifications can be done manually?

So ideally, update now to 2.3.3 and i can still install apps to remove bloatware etc?. Where as if i touch anything then update it may fail as apps are missing?
[Xperia Play General] TheBassman369:
You are correct broski. I would recommend TitaniumBackup and Root Explorer to get started.

Always make sure you freeze stuff with TiBu before you delete it. In fact, there's a list of apps you can safely remove (I believe in the Themes & Apps section) that you may want to check out. I would link it but I'm at my iPad.

And yes, I would update before you touch anything.

I used SEUS to update my phone to latest firmware. Flashed phone and downgraded to 2.3.2. Re set up all my accounts, installed TiBackup busybox, Astro, Superbox and Gingerbreak.

Before I flashed, Gingerbreak took about 5mins max to root, reeboot and finish.

Now, i have let it sit for over an hour and its still not doing anything???

Do I need to flash my phone again (hope not, takes too long lol) to get it to work? I flashed the Generic .184 that was posted on xda. My phone tells me im on 2.3.2 Build 3.0.A.2.184.

Well 50% is minimum i stick to when carrying out any sort of flashing on my previous SE's. I had my charger in the whole time as mine is turning out to be a simple gingerbreak exploit as my phone came with .184 2.3.2 already
