[Samsung Infuse 4G] spdivr:
Hello,

I managed to drop my phone and bust the screen soon after I bought it (luckily I have insurance). I hadn't had a chance to root it or anything, but I have some pictures on the phone I really want to get out of it. I thought the phone would have put them on the SD card but when I looked on the card, I don't see them, so I must assume they are stored on the phone itself. Since I can't do anything with the phone screen, is there any way to get the pictures off of it?

Thanks for any help!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
If ADB works you can adb shell/adb pull the files.

Look up Droid Explorer - I believe this automatically installs adb for Windows users and has a nice frontend for file transfers. I've never messed with ADB in Windows as I'm a Linux user so I can't help you any more.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] spdivr:
That worked, thanks!

I had not rooted the phone, but luckily I had set the phone to USB debugging before I dropped it. So even though I couldn't see anything on the screen, I ran Super One Click and it rooted, then Droid Explorer found it and I was able to pull off my photos.

[HTC EVO 3D] itsallsubliminal:
with super amoled, if you use a black bg those pixels are just shut off and can save you some battery life. But the SLCD isn't as easy to see in the sunlight and i was curious if there is a difference in battery juice consumption with a white bg. Even black has to be luminated by the screen, not shut off pixels like S-AMOLED. Is there a difference between black n white on SLCD's battery drain?

I'm looking for a more technical answer with reasoning rather than "just try em both and find out".

White would be easier to see in sunlight without having to turn up the brightness past 25%.
[HTC EVO 3D] connerrs:
Please don't quote me on this but I believe the difference in battery usage would be very negligible. It does take less power to display a black LCD screen than a white one but not enough to provide any noticeable difference in battery life like it does on AMOLED devices.
[HTC EVO 3D] itsallsubliminal:
Thanks. I did just remember about a cyanogenmod setting to filter the color of the screen and it quote "potential battery saver". Im not sayin battery life is an issue, just curious on knowing the differences in power consumption by color. But like u said, its probably very minimal tho. My 2 past devices were S-AMOLED and I didn't bother with predominantly white backgrounds because it actually made a difference. Time to be able to enjoy the entire spectrum on SLCD without worry! Haha one of the few benefits of LCD :)
[HTC EVO 3D] notasimpleway:
I think it might use more power on LCD screens. Or, at least, I remember reading that. However, back on my Hero, I tried the effect and it seemed to use the CPU more to render the effect. The phone got slower while in red, blue, etc. I think it is really only for AMOLED screens. Phones using that type of screen benefit a lot more. But I am most likely wrong. It has been a long time since I read up on this tweak. ;)

Sent from my iPhone with the bigger GeeBees.
[HTC EVO 3D] itsallsubliminal:
that sucks that the phone becomes sluggish, but then again it was the hero which is 1/4 the phone the 3D is...

also, i'm trying to make sense of it being for AMOLED screens, cuz the pixels are individual LEDs (or so i think) which are on/off individually. but LCD is Liquid.Crystal.Display, which to me makes more sense to render the entire display a certain color... i dunno, probably talking outta my a$$ but hopefully someone with a definite answer can chime in..

thanks for all the info & opinions from you guys, i feel we're getting closer

Hello,

I was removing some videos from my SD Card and accidentally deleted a folder called .htcmusthumbs. I was wondering if this was important or was just a storage for music thumbnails? Thanks.

Create the folder and replace it back on your sd. This is one you might need.

[HTC EVO 3D] skelotic:
Thanks, I did that. So far though every app works and have yet to have a problem.

Does anyone know if this is just the cache for the sample music? Could someone check if they have this.

UPDATE: The folder did not fill itself back on its own.
[HTC EVO 3D] skelotic:
Sorry to bump but I was just hoping that someone could quickly check the folder to see what it contains. It is in the root of the SD Card (or was in mine).
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Yup I have it and it does contain the stock music thumbnails.

Wouldn't say that. Sometimes 3rd party music players and media players may use it to store music. Also if you use the stock music player it may need it to store thumbnails.

[Trophy General] TrippingJimmies:
I was just reading that this is not possible on the Verizon Trophy. The version you are on is the earliest version that works on CDMA phones.
[Trophy General] unknown797:
I think Tripping James is correct, as far as I'm aware you can't downgrade it properly yet. Some have tried using the "Release (Team name)" versions for your phone, but they are incomplete and end up bricking the phone.

Your best bet is to wait for DFT team to release a new HSPL or RSPL so that it can work on your phone allowing you to flash a firmware from any other region or wait for a verizon rom to some how magically turn up.

Check out the thread on HSPL by DFT or PM ansar and see if there is anything you can do to help speed up the process of building a custom rom.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waynehardy:
Hi all

I've just flashed my HTC Desire to 7.1.0-RC1 with rom manager using clockworkmod 2.5.0.7

I have tried to restore my apps using titanium backup and then move them to the sd card with the app2sd app.

After moving about 6-9 apps it fails to move any more saying that there is not enough storage left.

The card has almost 1.5gb free space on it so I am guessing that app2sd moves the apps to a specific partition on the card. Is this an ext partition?

How can I access it to see if I can clear it out and start again or can I increase the size of the partition to make more room. I have used CM7 since February and app2sd for about the same time and have not seen this before.

Any help would be appreciated as I have not got all my apps restored to the phone and am running out of space on the device.

TIA Wayne
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim Beam5:
Are you just using the standard app2sd or are you using a script like Darktremor or simple2ext for example?

Also, open up titanium and let us know what the values say on the main page. Should tell you how much space you have left in your different areas of storage.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waynehardy:
Just using the standard app

opening titanium I see

System ROM 126MB free

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noam23:
My phone was running KE7 stock (rooted with CFroot 4).

Today I tried to flash a new rom via Odin 1.85. For some reason it failed (red box). Btw re-partition was not checked (I followed instructions to the letter).

Now when I activate the phone with the power button, or with the VolUP+Home+Power button, this is what I get:

(edit: now I see that I get this image even when I try to charge the phone when it's off. I don't get the big battery icon anymore...)

I can still get to the download mode (VolDown+Home+Power button), but I tried to flash a new ROM (Lightning 5) via Odin 1.85, and it got stuck at the factoryfs stage. I tried to flash this rom again and now it failed (red box).

I saw that on the Lightning 5 thread he say to make sure to be in debugging mode before going to the download mode (is this true for every rom flashed with Odin ?), but I didn't do this because I can't get into android now to change to debugging mode.

Have I bricked the phone ?, is there anything I can still do ?

Thank you very much to anyone who can help !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noam23:
Wow, 29 views and not a single reply, I guess this is not good...

Ok, I've downloaded the KE7 stock ROM, and tried to install it via Odin 1.85.

This is the initial Odin screen (before I press start):

And this is what I see after I press start. It stays like this for several minutes so I gues it's stuck :(

What now ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
What you have to do is wait, it does not say fail yet.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noam23:
Ok, I was under the impression the sbl.bin stage shouldn't take more than one minute max... (and I gave it about 5 minutes before I gave up).

I started it again and now will give it 30 minutes...

Can flashing via Odin be done without first enabling debug mode in android ?, because I didn't enable it as far as I remember (the guide that I followed forgot to mention this...). Could this be why Odin can't write to the phone ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
Ok, you need to use odin in a very specific way. Follow my directions exactly and see if it works.

Turn off your phone.

Open Odin and load the correct file/files.

Boot your phone into download mode.

Connect your usb cable to the phone/computer.

Once you get the yellow connection block, hit flash.

Do all of this in the right order and you should be ok.

If you have the usb cable plugged in while entering download mode, it won't work.

If you unplug the usb cable and plug it back in while in download mode, it won't work.

If you have the usb cable plugged in before you open odin, it might not work.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noam23:
Thanks Electroz.

I've followed your instructions carefully, to no avail. I'm still stuck at this sbl.bin... (I've waited for 30 minutes, surely something is wrong).

What else can I try ?

I'm using a Nokia micro-usb cable, could this be a problem ?, also, the USB cable is not connected directly to a USB socket in the motherboard, rather to a USB splitter (it worked ok with Kies like this). I tried connecting the phone directly to a USB socket in the motherboard, but I get a "USB Device Not Recognized" message, not sure why...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobthemarley:
I don't have whatever phone your using( just saw this as a new post didn't see the name) but I assume it's a samsung. With the epic it's usually the usb cable and get a blackberry cable for 1-2$ that's what helped me. Also try pulling the battery first and plug it into the computer and then go into download mode. Taking the sd card might help too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
Yes, the splitter could be the issue. Try directly to the computer. Also, trying a different cable, also directly connected might work too.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monk4Life:
I am not sure about the s2 but the galaxy s that I have would get the same icon in the screen when Odin failed. Doing Odin again though would always fix it because I could get to download mode. Try using different ports on your PC and if that doesn't work try another PC. Also do you have the stock Odin parts to flash not a new rom.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobthemarley:
that's definitely not bricked though, that screen of the phone and computer with an error sign is a good sign. Samsung phones are basically unbrickable. But try a different cable and pulling the battery
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noam23:
I'm trying to connect the phone to a USB socket directly on the motherboard (tried with 2 different computers), and every time I get a "USB device not recognized" message. The only way that the phone is recognized correctly is if I connect it to a USB splitter that I have.

Maybe this Nokia cable is not good for the SGS2 (Nokia CA-101 cable), but it is advertized as compatible with the Galaxy devices...

Hopefully this is a cable issue, tomorrow I will try with an original samsung galaxy S cable and maybe this will solve it....

Thanks for all you help for now guys !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobthemarley:
Don't bother with the stock samsung cable, it's terrible, like I said before try to find a cheap blackberry cable. All micro usb cables are compatible because they charge and transfer data. But not all are good quality.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macdaddyau:
I would also suggest downloading new copy of Odin again
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjangjojo:
First off, no you do not have a bricked phone. Just follow my instructions exactly and you will get everything running again.

1. Download a stock rom from your country from samfirmware.com.

2. Boot your phone into download mode and flash the stock rom.

3. Impotant. Boot your phone into recovery mode immediately after u flahed the stock rom and wipe data/factory reset, and your phone should be running just fine after reboot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
I think you'll find this is not the case. So many people ending up with failed flash because they use Nokia and HTC cables to flash the device.

Just use the Samsung cable to flash and it will complete successfully.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noam23:
I tried, still stuck at sbl.bin

I tried to do what you say, but the thing is that the Odin flash process always get stuck right at the beginning at sbl.bin

I'm starting to think this must be a hardware problem, either the USB cable or the phone's USB port. This could explain the following problems that I have:

1. Stuck at sbl.bin when trying to flash a stock ROM with Odin.

2. Stuck at Factoryfs when trying to flash Lightning Rom 5 with Odin.

3. When the phone was working, I could connect with Kies through USB, but when I went to the "Contact" tab in Kies, it never showed the contacts, it got stuck during the reading process.

4. Everytime I try to connect the phone (when in DL mode) to a USB port directly on the motherboard (and I tried different ports on different computers) I get a "USB Not Recognized" message. The phone is only recognized when connected to a USB splitter.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aimixess:
I already had this kind of problem.

I think i solved it by reinstalling the drivers (you can do it through the Kies interface).

You can also try to launch Odin as administrator.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadWolfy:
Another method that gives excellent results is a Jig.

You can buy one on ebay, it's something like 3€
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GJ123:
You could try to download everything again. (Odin,drivers,files)

And make sure that KIES is NOT running.

Also directly put the Samsung usb cable in your pc.

You have a good chance to bring it back to life.

If this won't work maybe your Galaxy is bricked because of bad usb cable/usb port or whatever.

I had the same soft brick before because the file i was using is corrupted. Try redownloading the litening rom and flash it via odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncai97o:
You MUST flash via Odin an original ROM. That way I am sure that you will revive your phone. Of course, before the flash you must remove the SIM-card and the microSD-card. More than this, I would do a format command on the microSD-card.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrandoHD:
Your phone is not bricked, but u are making your own problems, reinstall drivers, try different USB ports and most importantly, use the Samsung USB cable
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noam23:
I solved it !!! :):) what a relief !!!

It was the freaking Nokia micro-usb cable !!! (I borrowed a HTC cable and Odin worked without problems).

This is unbelievable !!, I bought this Nokia micro-usb cable yesterday from my cellular provider, after I've asked them for a cable for the Galaxy S2. They've charged me $30 USD for this Nokia cable. I've asked them why so expensive, and they replied that it is 100% compatible with the Galaxy S2, and that such compatibility level doesn't come cheap !!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFE1688:
That's just plain retarded. I will never go back to that store again.

You don't really need a super expensive cable, which does not confirm the quality of the cable. You just need to get a decent cable that is short, preferably less than 3ft or 1meter long.

You also should not use a USB HUB (You called it a USB Splitter, there is no such thing as a USB Splitter). If you want to use a HUB, make sure it is a POWERED HUB. If you have a 4 port USB HUB, then make sure the Power Adapter that comes with it has 2A or 2000mA or more.

DO NOT use an unpowered USB Hub, it will damage your motherboard.

Make sure that your computer does not have some unknown hardware problem, running memtest86 to test your computer at least once would be a good idea.

Upgrade yesterday morning and found already two problems... or maybe am I too dumb to use these devices?

Here in Europe we have 13 Wifi channels... my Galaxy now stops at 11. Where is the settings to change the regulatory setting? Before upgrading, all 13 channels were scanned and I can join my wifi network. I had to reconfigure the AP changing the port.

I have a screen larger than most of the netbook sold nowadays... but they seems to have removed the option to display website "regular" and not "mobile", or am I lost in the new interface and can't find again that option?

Leandro
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nakedninja42:
U.S. regulations only allow for 11 channels, I didn't know that the US Retail 3.1 had 13 available. Did you have OTA update or flash one of the ROMS?

What do you mean "regular"? Are sites being displayed in mobile version. You can try to change the UA Agent by entering about:debug in the address bar and then going to settings debug and UA. If that doesn't fix it, try the UA MOD by Doc in the Dev section.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ldardini:
I forget about the about:debug... so at least half dumb for now :-)

The tablet I have was bought in the US and bring in italy just few days before Samsung starts selling the unit also in this pizza's country. I had no problem connecting to channel 13 until yesterday, then after the upgrade, my network is no more detected.
