[Epic 4G General] lsujim:
I was doing an Odin of EG22 leak and it locked at setting pit file. I let it sit for about 30 minutes and still no change. I removed the cable (the battery is removed as odin never worked with the battery in the phone) and tried to re-enable download mode and I'm getting no response. There is no response from the phone when I plug it into a power source (no led light or battery charging icon on the screen). So did I just brick my phone? :(
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Try removing the battery, plugging the phone into odin then re-inserting the battery.
[Epic 4G General] lsujim:
Still no response from the Epic doing what you suggested. :(
[Epic 4G General] nadcicle:
My average response to this is always to try another cord.
[Epic 4G General] lsujim:
I don't think it's the cord. The cord doesn't mean anything if I can't get the phone into download mode.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Try purging the juice from the phone. With the battery out, repeatedly press the power button and leave the battery out for a while...at least a couple of hours if you aren't having any luck.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Rare to find a real brick these days but you definitely have one. Try the magic pinhole button that some have and others do not. It is a pinhole inside the back cover right next to the camera lens. Push a pin or paperclip in there for a second or two.
[Epic 4G General] socos25:
Try the following:

1. Remove battery.

2. Hold down power button for a few seconds to drain juice.

3. Plug phone in USB

4. Wait a few seconds.. Unplug..

5. Put battery in.

6. Slide out keyboard, hold down #1 + Power key. Boot into download mode.

7. Plug USB back in.

Thats how I fixed my Odin catastraphe when my little girl unplugged the cable while odining
[Epic 4G General] Art2Fly:
Plug phone into computer, take out battery, attempt to get into download mode... with odin open first.... IDK if anyone else has already suggested that but w/e
[Epic 4G General] lsujim:
:D:D

socos25. Thank you so much!! This allowed me to get into download mode and flash the ROM.

WOOOOO!!! congrats man.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Y'all are great. :D
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
I get the feeling the above advice should be on stone tablets somewhere, so I archived it and hope I never need to test its use. ;-)
[Epic 4G General] shaunfrazier:
I did the same thing going from EC05 to EG22.... changing the modem.... I removed the battery for a few min. changed the usb cable and usb port... it came up first in a picture i have never (seen a small computer and phone) I removed battery one more time and was able to go to download mode..... good luck

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtothec:
Okay, I was on CM7.0.3. But I wanted to test some other rom (Jokerdroid 4.2).

Now I did like this using clockworkmod 2.5.0.7:

- Boot into your phone’s recovery mode. You do that from ROM Manager

- Select ‘Wipe Date/Factory Reset’, then do ‘Wipe cache partition’

- Now go to ‘Install zip from SD card’ and choose the zip file of your ROM

- Reboot your phone

So after i did all of this, i rebooted but some error showd up. I was like okay, i reboot again for a test, but now it doesnt do anything. If i press on the power button doesnt boot, same for power + volume button.

Did I just F*** my phone up or ?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luxandroid:
SHOULD NOT BE BRICKED,

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtothec:
Thank god Its working again! :D

Would there be a big chance i will have the same error again if i try to install Jokerdroid again ?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luxandroid:

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scratch0805:
I once forgot to wipe cache and data before flashing, rom installed without errors but wouldn't boot. I had to wipe then restore the backup and then wipe data and cache again before attempting to flash the new rom again, it worked perfect the second time.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaganAng3l:
Seriously if you're gonna try to get a temp root on gingerbread, then spend the extra five minutes and make it permanent. There is no app for getting temp root on gingerbread (that I know of anyway) so you'll have to adb to a temp shell root, which would put you 90% of the way done to a perm root. If you're worrying that you might have to send it in or return it after rooting, supercid, or s-off; don't. To return it to stock you simply run the full ruu which would reflash your hboot to s-on put the correct radio and rom on. It took me longer to locate the ruu than it did to return my previous g2 to stock.
[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
Hey,

I have a samsung epic right now, and I'm interested in buying this evo someone offered to me. I would only be interested, however, if this phone was able to be rooted. How can I check if it is possible or not?
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
If its running android 2.3.3 and when you load into the bootloader it says "s-on" next to the radio version then its not rootable yet.
[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
Thanks man, really appreciate it.

Also, if it wasnt able to be rooted, I read on the news that HTC was going to release a universal unlocker for the newer phones, will they also release one for the EVO?
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
The general consensus is that they will not be unlocking older phones so as to encourage consumers to buy the newer ones.

EDIT: There is always of course the possibility that an independent developer will find an exploit and give us the ability to gain root access to our phones. Some devs are known to be working on this now. There's no guarantee of course, but there is hope for those of us who were feeling hopeless. ;)
[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
OK, so the phone has android 2.2, so I automatically assume it can be rooted. Now, can someone recommend me a good rom? I know about cm7 and miui, but what do the devs here have to offer?
[EVO 4G General] Boltons75:
My wife is using Mikg, and her evo runs awesome. Can't wait to root mine...

Sent from my unrooted :( OG Evo....
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
I really liked Deck's ROM; lightweight, few issues; great battery life when combined with Tiamat 3.3.7. It's basically CM7 with a lot of the extra clutter (language packs, etc) removed. It looks and acts almost exactly like Android on the Nexus S.

That was my daily driver. I also really liked playing with Synergy; it's feature-packed and has a lot of bells and whistles, and is a fun toy. I didn't like it for daily use, though. I am really into the KISS philosophy when it comes to my smartphone.
[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
And what about kernels? Is there a good choice of kernels to sift through, or for the most part do the roms already come with the best kernel for the job..?
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
Do alot of reading in the development thread. There is plenty to learn about.
[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
Alright, I'm doing some thinking on whether to do this or not.. .Should I trade my epic 4g for an evo or not?
[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
Bump
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Well that's a question that is dependent on a few things:

Do you prefer physical or virtual keyboards?

Is the loss of a nicer screen worth a bigger screen?

The Epic could be a great phone if it had the developer support that the Evo had/has.

They don't even have an AOSP ROM.
[EVO 4G General] phreezex:
YES, trade, then load synergy rls1, then freedom kernel, for root use unrevoked,
[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
Yeah, I could get by without a keyboard, but i'm just iffy
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
My personal opinion is that developer support is what makes the phone.

The Epic has a better core for performance and for battery.

If I recall correctly the GPU is better too.

The screen is nicer.

The keyboard sucks [because I hate physical keyboards]

But the developer support, comparative to the Evo, is nil.

Now, there have been signs of an increase in support but with the SGS2 coming it's hard to say how much will come to the Epic itself.
[EVO 4G General] Ve[N]oM:
I actually just came from an epic to the evo since mine was stolen (which really sucked I loved that phone) but with the evo I've never looked back. I really liked the physical keyboard since I'm not a fan of soft keyboards but swype and mods alongside a much larger screen make up for it. Speaking of the screen, its no super amoled but its definitely one of the nicest I've used and and the phone overall is just beautiful. Battery is about the same for both in my experience. But like others have said the evo has MUCH better developer support. I remember I was using frozen syndicate Rom 1.2 before my epic was stolen ( back in end of may/ beginning of June) and they still didn't update I believe. Plus Samsung still hasn't released gingerbread for it and its being discontinued October I think. So all in all you should trade for the evo, definitely much better software support especially for a phone reaching its EOL, not to mention hardware (i.e. cases) Plus sense is just great ;)

Ive had both phones, I had the epic then i traded it for my evo<3 which i love so much. I dont regret trading it at all. Personally, i like the evo more it is greater over all

Hey I have a gps problem with my phone.when I turned on gps and connected to wifi and ran the maps and checked my location and it went to Tianjin China(It's the place that I bought the phone)and then I turned on my mobile data and tried running maps and it came to the place where I'm now.and even it's not properly accurate.

I installed this rom and I thought that even it had a problem cause after I loaded the weather widget it said current location not the name of the location but with the stock rom somehow it gives the name of my current location. and I tried searching calibrate the GPS too.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kieeps:
Activate wifi and go to http://www.hostip.info/ from the phone to see what network interface the phone uses, if it's the 3G one it's probably the phone having problem detecting internet through the wireless router for some reason, if it's the wifi something is messed up im afraid.

Not sure where in the rom it's defined to shut it off when wifi is detected.

extract the update.zip file and copy it to your micro SD (external) and use power+vol down to flash it.

[Dell Streak 7] AZRockslide:
I did not see a thread for this case, so I figured I would start one. You can view the case here:

http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Executive-Portfolio-Landscape-Portrait/dp/B004Z21IDW

I just got it for my Streak, and I am very impressed. The cover for the Streak itself fits well, with all the holes in the proper places (unlike the official T-Mobile leather case). The back has two good sized velcro pads which allow you to secure the Streak to the following part of the case for transport and when using the built in stand. The stand is magnetic, so it stays attached to the portfolio when not in use.

I have only had a day to test this case so far, but I have to say I really like it.
[Dell Streak 7] nicknovice:
I got the other rooCASE, not the Executive, from company through Amazon for about $22 plus about $7 shipping (still a lot less than Walmart.com. I really like it and went with it over the executive because it looks like the Exec model has the front cover extending out in front of the DS7 when you're using it. In contrast, the regular zoocase has the unit sitting on the front of the case, and the velcrow allows for variable angles. Much better than no case at all, not only for the protection of the DS&, but also because it frees up both hands most of the time, balances nicely on the table, sofa arm, pillow, etc. Never use DS7 in portrait position, so I don't miss that option which the Exec model does give you.

(rooCASE-Multi-Angle-Leather-Streak-Tablet - on Amazon)
[Dell Streak 7] nanpaman:
Bought this case a few weeks ago. The Roocase Executive Leather Case is ABSOLUTELY worth the price on Amazon, for me $37 shipped! The case not only is a leather book style case, but it also has dual HEAVY DUTY zippers to seal the case, which by the way, is EXTREMELY durable, well-made, and cushioned. Inside the case, on the left sleeve, there are 2 slip pockets for paperwork, small wireless keyboard or battery extender maybe(try it!)? On the right a separate, slimmer case that fits "flush" on the DS7(I found this to have a little play inside the case, but nothing the foam it was packed with couldn't fix).

BIGGEST FEATURE! This case has both a kickstand for the tablet and velcro on the slim case to allow for both Landscape and Portrait views!

I imagine that with a good 10000mah or Solar battery charger and a slim bluetooth keyboard, this case will become wholly convertible and versatile for any mobile needs!!
[Dell Streak 7] dbpaddler:
I think this is the same case but in imitation leather for $23 shipping from China. I have the acase now which isn't bad, but I think the fit on this might be a touch better and the material less padded for a slimmer overall design.

Might just stick with the acase ones because the Viewsonic 7x is looking pretty sweet. Just wish it'd have a full size SD. There's no adapter to go from micro to full size.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
I'm currently using a MicroSD with an adaptor that makes it a full sized SD. They're pretty common in card readers, but not so much to purchase by themselves.
[Dell Streak 7] dbpaddler:
The point behind it is SD cards are still the standard in computers, cameras and such. And these aren't tiny phones and mp3 players. A full sized card slot can take a full size card and micro with adapater. A microSD slot is useless for full size. And with many having a plethora of full size cards (I have a 32gb, (3)16gb and a few 8gb ones), they become useless to share photos from the camera on the nice 7" screen, do some uploading to flickr, fb or sugarsync. There is plenty of room to put full size on these devices so I just don't understand why they do it.

I think all these tabs should have standard: microUSB, USB2.0, Full size SD and mini HDMI. Unless you're going for GT10.2 thin, it shouldn't be difficult. At least with usb2.0 you can plug in a card reader. That's somewhat of a compromise without needing a proprietary dongle.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
I totally agree (one of the reasons I got the S7); I was just responding to you saying, "There's no adapter to go from micro to full size."
[Dell Streak 7] dbpaddler:
Leave it to me to pontificate when I just skim over a response on my phone :)
[Dell Streak 7] AZRockslide:
So I have now had the case for about a month, and I still really like it. The case works great both for protecting the Streak and acting as a stand. Only real issue I have had is the velcro pads on the case which goes around the Streak itself tend to pick up all sorts of odd stuff, but that is truly a minor complaint.

Honestly, I have yet to find a better case for the money I paid.
