[General Questions and Answers] nukinfuts29:
So I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4g with Tmobile, and generally I'm happy with how it runs. Except that I cannot seem to root the thing (I have rooted probably 12-15 phones) and that means since I can't use awesome apps like Titanium Backup, every single day I have to hear about a new double twist update about 900 times.

I hate double twist, and i am sick of looking at it. So now, I am thinking of just putting a custom rom on. I have three questions among my research that I have not found a solid answer too:

1) I use Linux (Ubuntu) and the information I found on putting a custom rom to my phone with linux is sketchy at best, and I have zero idea if I even can.

2) Are there any users of this phone here that would suggest a particular rom? I ask because until my wife gets home from vacation in 3 weeks this phone is all I have and bricking it terrifies me.

3) Is there anyway, without root access, to back up Better Keyboard 8 and it's key? They got pulled from android market and I love this keyboard, if i loose it then i may rather put up with annoying double twist.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooki:
Hello,

I got some strange errors:

When doing a backup with cwm recovery 4.0.1.4/5 some or all apps stored in .android_secure get deleted and i have to restore them with Titanium Backup!

And I've noticed, that the old cwm 4.0.0.2 gets opened when booting to recovery via rom manager (and pressing volume/home buttons)!

(Even manual installing the new recovery won't change this, except that with 4.0.0.2 backups work)

Why is the old recovery always restored? Oo

I'm running newest villian rom with that nymphentamine kernel in version 2.0.0.5

I came from villian rom 2.1 with the cf-root 4.1 kg3 kernel installed, but did a full wipe!

Hope you could understand my problem, my English isn't the best :-(

//EDIT:

Even flashing kernel with odin won't fix my problem!

Another try to explain my problem:

I flash a new cmw version with rom manager (or odin or video the old 4.0.0.2 cwm) and as soon as i restart the device the old recovery gets restored and i don't know why! there is no update.zip or something wich could install the old recovery again!

Please help me, i'm getting mad with this!

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
Browsing for the firmware on the Huawei website doesn't work anymore...They have **** customer support, pretty much zero help...

All we can do at the moment is hope that Huawei will eventually wake up!!!

I've sent an email requesting an official OTA update and they said "send your phone to our parts&service and they will do the update for you"...this will take about 2-4 weeks. Can you believe this rubbish? With any freaking manufacturer out there, you can get OTA updates, last week my freaking Samsung TV got a simple Over the Air update...but not Huawei...figures.

Go on eBay and search for your phone model + unlock code. This will set you back up to $30 but you will get your code within 24 hours and voilà! You now can use your T-Mobile phone on at&t network.
[HD2 General] htccraze:
The above can be done & does work just fine but i would call t-mobile before you did that. You can ask then to give you the unlock code for your phone so you can use on a different network & they'll give it to you free of charge.

I was able to get an unlock code for my old phone & it only took about 5 mins. I've heard someone say that they had problems doing this because the phone they wanted to unlock didn't have service with t-mobile any longer but i was able to have a phone unlocked that I hadn't used in a long time. Best bet is to try this 1st then go to ebay if they cant/won't do it. I have seen unlock codes as cheap as $10 for the hd2 but up to $25-$30.

tottaly agree, android is soooo much better
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kongyujian:
Yes agree. Totally Android is definitely much better.

Besides i dont get why people says that MIUI looks like iphone. It looks nothing like IOS anyway. Perhaps the organisation of icons might seem similar, but all the UI elements are totally different.

And as all other users so simply put it, IOS will look like an Iphone. And Android OS is tons better than IOS. Simplicity of use, great customisability, easy accessibility, and tons more of apps Apple probably wont allow. Why would you even choose IOS in the first place? ;)

(other than a refreshing UI change i really dont know why people are so into IOS anyway, it falls back far behind Android in innovation)

Search for GSM UNLOCK HD2. If you are on T-Mobile call them and request unlock code - it's free. If you got your phone on ebay used or somethign they may not do it - therefore, you need to pay around I think 20-30$ to get code from ebay -0 then you'll be all set.

If you can get Samsung Vibrant or Galaxy S 4G - both of those can be unlocked and do support 3G ATT network.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maestro2702:
Hi all,

i am hoping one of you can help me with my Gtab T2.

2 weeks ago my tablet was acting very strange, so i decided to install a new rom.

This went terribly wrong, and the tablet is completely bricked.

I cannot get passed the bird screen.

For my feeling i have tried everything, i have downloaded several versions of NVFlash, even with CWM baked in, didn't work. I have downloaded the format version of NVFlash, and that did work, but.....

i get 2 types of messages, the magical mismatch, and an error message which says there is a critical error with the boot loader. But they are replacing eachother after a new format, so 1 time the magical error, the next time the critical error.

When installing with using NVFlash(doesn't matter which version), the tablet is reacting, gives also the message Entering NVFlash Recovery mode / nv3p server, but the tablet does not start up again by itself. When start up again with the volume + button, i receive the following message; "Detect a recovery key pressed", then "Booting recovery kernel image". There it stops!! Nothing happens.

I also renamed the clockworkmod image to part9 image, and you can guess the result........

Please note i have used the manuals found over here and somewhere else on the web. Most of them are copies from Roebeet's his manual. I also found a site called NVFlash for dummies, did everything as mentioned in the manuals, but again, nothing helped.

To go in APX mode is not a problem at all, btw.

I also tried to format my external SD from FAT to FAT32 to NTFS, no chance at all to get passed the bird screen.(should be FAT32)

I even tried the manual to to open the damn tablet, uncharge the battery, , but i didn't do anything with the copper wire, as mentioned in the manual.

Also i have found the youtube manual to install NVFlash(perhaps i forget a step) but even that didn't help me out.

Also a search on the internet to recover the kernel and the bootloader, didn't give me a solution.

At this point i have format the tablet, the error message says magical mismatch, and this should be ok. I have tried severall times to install it again, but the tablet doesn't go further than the birdscreen.

Is there anyone with a possible solution? Please help!
