what did i do?

So I feel like a right fool, and thought about just resetting my phone to the factory settings but was hoping someone could provide me with a better solution to my problem...

I received a Samsung Galaxy gt-19000 and it's my first smartphone... I was worried about getting charged for connection to EDGE etc so I found a shortcut online that allowed me to disable this completely... (and now I can't find the site or the shortcut I used, but it consisted of typing in a number on my keypad)...

Now however i'm with a network provider that has a pretty good deal on data connection and I want to reactivate it... problem is, i've configured the internet settings but it's not connecting and I don't see where I can reactivate it (in Mobile Network Settings -> network Mode I have GSM or WCDMA)...

When I select the power button the only phone options I have are silent mode, flight mode and power off...

Hoping you can help :)

Hi Guys,

I have miui andy's rom 2.8.10 ics. With kernel 1.0.3 everything was good. Then i flashed last 1.1.0 and the problem I have is that some change I make with devil kernel manager or config app doesn't work after a reboot. I mean that scheduler and governors changes work just until next phone restart. After that it comes back to default settings.

I read something and tried to use a script manager to navigate to /sbin and run boot-patch.sh as root but it says " sh : no applet found ".

Is it maybe a problem of version 1.1.0? I flashed it twice after a full wipe and a kernel cleaning. Please how to solve it?

Also I didn't understand if devil kernel 1.1.0 is the last version or 1.1.3 is. It's on this thread --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1700904

I tried to installthe Gnexus port rom jr03l 4.1.1 rc 10. I was on TAJB'S Jellybean rom with devil kernel. I tried to install the rom as per the instructions given. I did a nandroid backup of the current rom before attempting to do so. The flash failed as the phone rebooted into recovery after a few minutes. I tried to restore from my nandroid backup. That failed too and it came up with a message of "no free space". I rebooted the phone and the phone automatically tried to flash the gnexus port rom again. It failed rebooted and got stuck on the devil kernel screen.

After about 20 mins, i took the battery out and rebooted into recovery. I really dont know where to go from here. I need to backup my efs folder too somehow.

EFS folder doesn't have enough space

Hi,

I tried to flash CM10 Jelly Beam 4.1.1 Roam on SGS GB 2.3.6 with root.

After clean install i realized IMEI was UNKNOWN.

So I tried to restore EFS folder from backup (both with Nitrality and root Explorer)

Root Explorer said there is not enough space to copy nv_data.bin to efs.

When i examined the EFS folder I came across wierd situation. (By the way permission on EFS folder : rwxrwx--x, group:radio, owner:radio)

rf commad from terminal gives me this information : 12.42Mb Used, 80Kb Free space

But when i looked at the file sizes in EFS directory, it was totally 1.39 Mb.

Because of my nv_data.bin file size is 2Mb, i'm not able to restore EFS files.

Any Idea?

How can I handle this problem?

Thanks a lot.

nandroid backup is a backup of phone internals such as /system,/data,/datadb,/efs and others. if something goes wrong you can restore and the phone shouldn't have problems.

efs backup is very important(it backups imei,imei is phone's serial number). flashing a rom can make the imei dissapear,and if your phone has warranty, it will void it.

Hi, have a bit of an issue.

My SGS has turned into a weirdo

Hey again,

once again I would like to thank you for your previous help, Winston.

By now flashing is no problem anymore, however, since a few days my i9000 has gone a lil crazy.

It started off with my phone falling to the ground, from which it suffered a display crack. Anyways, until this very day, my phone ran great on ICS...

However, after my little "incidence" with the floor, it started to have this tick now and then:

-when using the browser, after a couple of minutes the display goes black, indicating some sort of forced shut down. When restarting the phone after this, the battery has lost at least (!!!) 40% of remaining capacity. The phone also gets really, really hot...(maybe from a software loop..? Dunno!)

-sometimes this forced shut down also occurs when using some other app...yet, not as often as in the previously described scenario

>>> What I did is flashing the rom again. It now runs on 4.0.4. The forced shut down seems to occur less, still, its not completely gone.

I have no clue whats wrong here, besides a possible hardware malfunction (probably from the crash)...I also though flashing back to GB might help, but I havent tried that yet...

Any ideas whats wrong here? Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Some noob question regarding jelly beans on GT-i9000 CM10 Nightly build

I've been using gingerbread for quite a long time (official rom). First time root my phone with jelly beans installed. Got a couple things that i found missing or maybe hidden somewhere.

1. How can i kill running apps, a task manager comes with the factory rom since froyo - gingerbread?

2. I could find the folder to view the files on my phone like before. There is a my files folder comes with the official rom. How can i view, edit, copy / paste my files in the phone?

3. It seems the storage space been occupied easily after jelly beans installed. Was that normal ? cause i think i have a notification saying that im out of storage space to install app. I'm pretty sure i have many space left. What i can do is move the app to sd. But i thought it should have more space on the local drive.

Soft bricked my phone

Champs,

I had ICSSGS 4.0.3 ROM since last 6 months on my samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 phone. Though the ROM worked fine for last 6 months, i started facing some issues recently and reflashed the same ROM multiple times. Things didnt improve much so that i thought of flashing CM9 ROM.

I managed to do that fine but found that it's slow. I also noticed that my PC was not able to detect my phone. So thought of going back to 2.3.6 backup i had taken during my initial ROM update in Feb. When i tried to restore the backup using recovery mode, it failed and since then my phone is stuck in boot loop.

It just displays samsung logo and doesnt go beyond that. I tried multiple times but i am not able to get into recovery mode using 3 keys.

Good news is that i can get into download mode but the problem is my phone is not detected by my PC. I tried it on 2-3 machines, installed samsung driver, kies and also google ICS driver but nothing is able to detect my phone. So i can't flash it again using odin. I tried multiple times but odin doesnt detect my phone.

Every time i connect phone in download mode to PC, it shows as unkown device (under other devices in device manager).

I also took the battery out for few hours and tried multiple time but things dont work. I tried with different USB cable and tried 3 drivers but still no success. I have run out of option and need your help, guys.
