[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umz93:
Hi guys

Recently I bricked my galaxy s. To cut a long story short I was forced to buy a jig.

Prior to inserting the jig I had taken my battery out for 36 hours. When I first inserted the jig my galaxy S immediately went into download mode, unfortunately I wasn't able to access a computer so i removed the jig. Now whenever i insert the jig my phone will not go into download mode, even if I have taken the battery out for 7hours. Any help will be appreciated. :)

Note: the phone shows the battery symbol when attached to a usb cable, however I left my phone on charge for 2 hours and the jig still did not work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
Maybe it doesn't get charged and your battery is empty. Can you try another battery (maybe a friend of you also has a SGS?)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umz93:
thanks again!

I didnt charge it, ill put it on charge for a couple of hours and see how that works.

Generally do bricked phones charge?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chillibanana:
I would guess if it shows the battery symbol then it should charge yes.

Failing that borrowing a battery as Lunchbox115 suggests should work.

These phones really are hard to kill so good luck
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umz93:
Thanks you guys! I got a friend to charge the battery and now my galaxy S is working perfectly fine on 2.3.3 :D.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] about7:
I bricked my phone (samsung galaxy s I9000). Fully bricked, no 3button or anything. screen blank no matter what i did etc etc

took it to optus (it was rooted so out of warranty apparently, but they weren't to know that) and said it just wouldn't turn on. They didn't even ask how it happened (had planned to say tried to update it with kies and it just wouldn't turn on) anyways they were just like 'hmmm yeah... not turning on, that's manufacturers problem. We'll send it to them and they'll have a look. Sign this and this and this.'

less than a week later i got a call from them and had my phone back working like nothing happened. All apps and data still there.

Easy :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taqyon:
Hi

I've hit a problem while trying to root my device. Unrevoked does it's thing, the phone reboots, but then Unrevoked reports that it's lost connection to the device and that I should try again.

I've made sure that my default USB connection type is HTC Sync.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Some tips for other users that have problems that I've overcome:

- When you get the Internal Error from Unrevoked 3 trying to load the image, make sure you have enough space your Desire's (ridiculously tiny) app storage.

- When the phone is on the boot screen but not going any further in 5 minutes, you probably still need to install the custom usb driver on your windows machine. Get it here: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Your default connection type has to "only load" and "never ask". Furthermore, you have to check "unknown sources" under settings>applications.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taqyon:
Thanks, by "only load" you mean "charge only"? If so, I've had it on charge only but unrevoked just stays on "Waiting for Device" until I switch to HTC SYnc.

Unkown sources are ticked for sure.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taha198:
Have you uninstalled HTC sync?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taqyon:
Yes, made 100% sure. The HTC Driver is still there.. ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Yes, i meant "charge only". The driver still has to be there. Try to set the connection type to "storage" (or something like that).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taqyon:
Not connecting at all under anything but HTC Sync.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daz555:
And have you installed the custom usb driver? Also HTC Sync should not be installed when running Unrevoked3.

Here is a very easy to follow guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taqyon:
Yep I'm doing exactly that, and everything works until it comes back after the last boot, unrevoked waits for the system to "settle down" then "rooting..." displays for 1/2 second, then Unrevoked reports that there was an unexpected communications break with the phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Okay, maybe linux can do the work for you:

1.) Download ubuntu version 32-bit (not the 64-bit version, needed drivers are missing):

http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download

2.) Burn the downloaded image on cd and start your computer from it (only the test version, do not install it)

3.) Download unrevoked for linux (in firefox download window set "open with archiv manager"):

http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.32/reflash.tar.gz

4.) Drag and drop the file "reflash" to desktop

5.) Set phone correctly:

- applications>check "unknown sources"

- applications>development>check "usb debugging"

- set connection type to "charge only" and uncheck to ask for connection

6.) Reboot phone; sometimes, when the phone runs too long, some processes "drive crazy"

7.) Start terminal in ubuntu:

applications>accessories>terminal and type

cd Desktop
sudo ./reflash

running reflash needs admin rights

8.) Connect phone to computer and then

WAIT.... WAIT... WAIT
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taqyon:
Wow ok thanks last resort.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chiller89:
If linux doesnt work for you,or your lazy like me, then try wiping you phone before using unrevoked3, mine wouldnt work either till i wiped completely then tried again :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taqyon:
I'm starting to realise that... Irony is one of the reasons for rooting is for the backup!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taqyon:
Mother of everything sacred! I've just done a factory reset sacrificing hours of app installation and config, and STILL unrevoked doesnt work!! It just says communications lost unexpectedly after the first boot.

Going to sit in a corner for a while.

I have a problem with doing Unrevoked root for my HTC Desire.

HTC Desire.

Bravo PVT4 Ship S-On

HBOOT -0.93.0001

MICROP-051d

TOUCH PANEL SYNT0101

Windows 7 64 bit

Gold Card made

Managed to follow the steps and got to STEP FOUR - S-Off Precedure With Alpharev. However, after booting from burned alpha rev, computer and phone are simply stuck. Phone says that it has found a new nand, possibly pv4, on computer it says 'waiting for flashing to finish' for last 60+ minutes. Looks like i managed to brick it, any help possible to restory factory defaults?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t-c:
From memory the phone had to be rooted prior to attempting the S-OFF.

The two procedures are unrelated if the problem is the rooting then how far did you get with it? again from memory a goldcard isn't required for the unrevoked procedure(happy for someone to jog my memory).

If is S-OFF then the issue I had was that I was running a custom ROM which caused the procedure to fail. I just restored an earlier backup through CWM/recovery and alpharev S-OFF went through flawlessly.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unclemati:
I used the Unrevorked option and it did root my phone. After that, I followed the procedure and went to do Alpha Rev. I burned their image to CD, booted my computer and after booting from CD it found my desire. Procedure started but stopped in the middle.

So, now I can access Hboot and ClockWorkRecovery (I have SD card with CWM 2.5.0.7 and second with 3.x.x.x version) but not boot the phone anymore. Nothing to restore from the card either, I tried backup/restore with CWM, nothing is there. PVT4 S-ON is still enabled. When I boot my phone and go into CWM I get following errors:

Can't find MISC: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command

Can't find MISC: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log

I can see from this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=814381 (step 3) that I should be able to just copy the Rom on my SD card and install the zip. So I copied several roms to try. This is what I used and errors I got:

a) Cool-Z-V9.zip

Installing update...

Formatting CACHE...

E:Can't format Cache:

E:Failure at line 2: Format Cache - Installation Aborted.

b) LeeDruid_HD_V3.3.3.1-port-R3-A2SD.zip

I've read a few times that CWM is not good enough and that I should go to Amon, but I don't know how to do that. Did try the method from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=814381 (A2SD part) but it isn't working for me. I do this:

fastboot-windows flash recovery what-you-called-amonra-recovery.img

And I get FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

Several posts http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-992114.html say I should update CWM - but if I try that (install zip from sd card) i again get can't mount cache.

It's probably something I'm missing, but it is too much for a novice like me. Help appreciated. :( (mounting cache but I have no clue how to do it)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Woah! Woah! LOL no need to install Linux to root!

Try this:

First, S-OFF your Desire using AlpharevX (already used to S-OFF friends Wildfire), in the process, it will prompt you whether you wish to install Alpharev's custom recovery, choose yes.

Once you've done that, boot into recovery, BACKUP YOUR CURRENT ROM, and install whichever ROM you downloaded! Easy! :)

Damn! Always too late, just read you managed to root it, ah well, maybe someone else will need this ^ :P

[General Questions and Answers] streetchat:
Hi all.

I'm using the latest NDT MIUI (great rom so far) and i just have a question regarding the weight of the mms.

version 2.0 of the rom allow me to send and receive mms at 22KB.

The latest version 4.1 then allow me to send and receive mms at 69KB.

My provider allow me to send and receive mms with a weight of 300KB.

How can we increase the possible weight of MMS with NDT MIUI (or other MIUI...)

thanks by advance.

edit:

Ok, i've found a way by modifying the MMS.apk in the archive before re-flashing the rom.

Do somebody know a way to modify the mms application without the need to reflash the entire rom ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awjunk:
I've been looking for an answer as to why my new SGS2 can't find some wireless 802.11x networks.

After some searching and testing on a Nexus S I found that 'newer' releases of Android don't seem able to find networks on channel 11 onwards.

Is this a bug as I've seen older Motorola's that can find the higher channels? If it is a conscious design decision, do any SGS2 firmwares get round this?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xinfinityoO:
if u are running android 2.3.4 ..i am on cognition 1.15..

see if that works
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awjunk:
Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm on stock 2.3.3 (I9100XWKF1) and in the advanced Wi-Fi settings have nothing related to regulatory domain...

After my online searches I've found others with the same problem, so it's not specific to the SGS2 as far as I can tell. Still a major pain in the ass through :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xinfinityoO:
well as i said 2.3.4 has that option.. so if ur really keen upgrade ur firmware to 2.3.4 and test that option to see if it works.. :)

Hello guys,

The Go SMS Pro app removed the default notifications. There was one option for this which I selected during the install. Now I get only go SMS pro notifications.

How to revert this back, as i want to use default SMS app? Please help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinaymieux:
I would recommend choosing one sms app and sticking to it. I am personally using GoSms and with some personalisations it is excellent.

the original sms notification can be turned back on by going into messages > press menu> settings > scroll to end > tick notifications

again not recommended to use both apps with notifications. gets kinda annoying.
[Android Apps and Games] Pawnty:
I wasn't sure where to put this as it's not hardware specific and for the section options for general android this is the place where it makes the most sense to put it. If I am incorrect in this then mods, feel free to move this to the correct section and also maybe add a general android Q/A section like the windows phone section has.

Anyways I'm looking for a game similar in ways to Wordfeud or Words with friends. They don't have to be word games at all, I'm just looking for online multiplayer games with that turn based "play at your own pace" gameplay. I don't even know where to begin looking as I don't know if there is a term for those type of games so if anyone has any suggestions or where I could start looking that would be great :)

The only way I know to do it is with your file explorer app. I know both ES File Explorer and File Manager HD have the option. All you have to do is long press on a music file(or any file for that matter) and then choose share. It should give you the option after that of sending it via bluetooth.

Hope that helps.

Hello! I have a big problem. I'm trying to install a new baseband on my o2x but I just can't connect it to my computer. The phone starts charging when i plug the usb to the computer but I just can't enable usb mass storage (the menu never pops up, it only charges). The computer of course does not recognize the phone either. I tried plugging in my old HTC legend and the usb mount worked flawlessly. I'm currently running the MiUI pre release (celebration 2.0) on my o2x but I tried the latest cm nightly aswell as Slick2g-v4 and the problem remained.

[LG Optimus 2x] droweed:
if youd read the miui thread at development, there is a problem with mass usb connection, usually if your coming from cm, your ext sd is not linked correctly, _extsd something folder from internal, thats why your phone does not recognize your sd card, hence it cant mount

Hi all,

is there a cheap and best way to replace the "chrome plating" on Galaxy S2, it fell off and has got a few scratches on the top right corner of the phone .

kindly advice.

thanks in advance.

Best,

Sid
[Galaxy S II General] psp888:
nope, as the screen is glued onto that part of the faceplate. you would need to rip the screen off and risk damaging it just to replace that cover.
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
When you say 'it fell off' do you mean the plastic chrome-effect surround or the phone fell off something scratching it?

Anyway, I have a few tiny marks on my 'chrome' surround, partly thanks to using a CaseMate 'Barely There' cover which partly exposes the corners and bottom and top of the phone. However, it really doesn't bother me that much and it's a small price to pay to keep this phone's footprint as it's meant to be as opposed to a gel-case turning it into my old HD2.
[Galaxy S II General] sharma_sid:
the phone fell off on the road, causing the scratch.

formating /sd-ext...

formating /sdcard/.android_secure

data wipe complete.

What is this file that isnt being formated? Is there another way for me to remove this from my phone so that it is basically completely clean? Even after Odining back to stock i cant remove this.

Any feedback would be nice.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] poopypoo13:
have you ever ran the ext4 converter? If so that might be it. If you really want to get rid of that than (only my opinion) run the rfs formatter.

Hope that makes sense
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
If you try that and it doesn't work, try formatting your sd card, then odin to kc1. Now you will have a 100% fresh start. After you odin, let the phone sour for 10 min. When you get cwm again, run the ext4 converter, and then flash the rom. let it sit for another 15 min. And try wiping again and see what it says.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] metalblaster:
what do you mean by kc1?

[G Tablet Accessories] ramerco:
Just received my HDMI cable (http://electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=&products_id=27)from electronicCrap, it works perfectly. It also works as a DVI cable for connecting to business projectors (without sound of course) with a small adapter such as this: http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimited-ADP-3780-Female-Adapter/dp/B0018QTWH2

Great product if you need to do presentations or anything. Just be aware that most apps are fairly low resolution (ie will look pixelated) even if the tablet is outputting a full 1080p signal.

The only minor issue is the connector to the gTab, which is a bit bulkier than what is pictured on his site. This could be a problem with some cases, but it works well with mine (the FUSE).

Update 7/23:

-Cable works great on 1080p monitors and TVs.

-HW accelerated apps display at much higher resolution. Everything else is 1024x600 with poor (pixelated) scaling.

-Cable may not work on 720p TV's.

-May not display HW acclrrated 1080p properly on 720p TV even if other things work

-Audio is stereo only as far as I and others can tell. Does android as a platform even support 5.1?
