Kernel problem (v2.6.32.9)

Hy, I have a Samsung Galaxy Spica (GT I5700) and until now I only used kernels, ROMs from samdroid. All worked well between me and them: they develop, I tried their stuff.

Recent I try a ROM with .32 kernel (Android 2.2 with all my /system /cache and /data partitions previously converted to ext2), and I have a terrible accident with it: on the screen appeared some vertical lines that wouldn't disappear even I reboot the phone. I re-flash the phone with a 2.1 ROM and with the time the lines gone.

I don't know if the ROM was the cause of those lines, but I want to find out.

And if here on this forum (XDA-Developers) I could find any ROM (preferably an Android 2.2) that couldn't put my phone to the brick phones list.

Another issue that I want to discus is what happen if I install a .32 version ROM with the afferent kernel and not make that alltoext2 conversion?

I don't know how time it take to solve my problem but, if it's possible I want the answer on my mail account at master.marius@gmail.com

Unable to root Samsung Captivate (2.2) with Z4Root

Hello!

New member and first time poster here :)

I am having trouble rooting my Samsung Captivate with Z4Root. I am able to side-load the Z4Root APK (v. 1.3.0) with droid explorer ok. When I try to do either a temporary root or permanent root on the device, it will stay stuck on "Acquiring root shell" and then the app will close.

Right after I side-load z4root, i just unplug the phone from USB and attempt to root right away, with USB debugging ON. I've also tried it with debugging OFF, but I get the same results.

I even wiped the phone and tried it again in hopes that will work, but still nothing.

Any suggestions?

Firmware: 2.2

Kernel v: 2.6.32.9

Build #: FROYO.UCKB1

Thanks!

Trouble moving everything from one Galaxy S Showcase to another

Nutshell version: I'm trying to restore a full backup from an old Samsung Galaxy S Showcase (SCH-I500) to a new one. Currently, the new phone lists "Hardware version" and "Baseband version" as unknown, and most of About Phone -> Status is unknown. So this phone is basically stuck in airplane mode (though wifi works).

More details: My wife's Showcase (from C Spire) had a speaker issue, so we had a warranty-covered replacement phone sent (hardware is identical). I made the following backups from the old phone:

One from the "Backup" option using ClockworkMod Recovery 4.0.1.0 for Fascinate/Mesmerize/Showcase (I think I found the link on this forum)

One for use with Odin using the process outlined here: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1082288

A full one using Titanium Backup

First, I rooted the new phone and installed ClockworkMod Recovery. Then I tried to recover the backup #1, but I got the issue about not being able to unmount /system.

The new phone came with version 2.3.5 of Android, and I thought maybe I'd have better luck if I reverted it to what the old phone had - 2.2.1. So I used Odin3 v1.30 to restore a stock image (linked to from this thread: rootzwiki.com/topic/944-odinshowcase-stock-showcase-files-for-odin-221/. I chose the .pit file included in the zip, and I selected the .tar.md5 file for "PDA." As best I could tell, this had the desired effect.

I again rooted and installed CWM. I tried to restore the CWM backup again but got the same error about unmounting /system. After this, I made a .tar.md5 from my Odin backup's factoryfs.rfs in an attempt to restore the system info (I didn't use a .pit file... hope that didn't screw anything up). It didn't work, but I then tried restoring the CWM backup again. It completed, but then the phone froze while displaying "SAMSUNG" during the boot up (I waited at least 5 minutes, and nothing happened).

I have tried flashing my full Odin backup (with no .pit file), but it fails on cache.rfs.

I successfully restored the Titanium Backup files, so the apps, texts, call log, etc., are back. But still no radio connectivity.

In addition to all my backups, I have my own Showcase (same hardware version as my wife's), so I could get any system files needed from it.

One more note: Every time I've used Odin, I left all the settings at the default.

So, my questions are:

Is the carrier and account information gone, or is it still stored somewhere on the phone?

Are we totally screwed? If not, where do we go from here?

Many thanks in advance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] robg37:
New things I've learned

After some time to think, I figured a few things out, although I still haven't solved the problem.

The first thing is that when I backed up my wife's old phone, it had already been deactivated. I was thinking that might explain why, after restoring to the new phone, the phone wouldn't get a signal. But would an otherwise normal unactivated phone have the following info?

Hardware version: Unknown

Baseband version: Unknown

MIN: Unknown

PRL version: Not available

MEID: Unknown

Network: Unknown

Service state: Radio off

Another thing I wonder about deals with the backups I made with ClockworkMod Recovery. I made backups of both the old (deactivated) phone and the new phone (which was activated at the time of the backup).

Restoring the old backup yields the situation I've been describing... everything looks great, but the phone's radio isn't on.

If I restore the new backup (the backup of the new phone in its original state), it starts to boot up and just stays on the word "SAMSUNG" (in white lettering with a black background). I even tried doing a factory reset after loading this backup, but it still does the same thing.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] robg37:
Ok, I've tried another thing that hasn't worked, but maybe it'll still shed some insight.

I made a backup of my phone (not my wife's), which is currently working fine, using CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v2.5.1.x (xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=942021). I've restored that backup on my wife's phone, and the info I listed in the previous post is exactly the same.

I did flash a stock 2.2.1 to this phone (rootzwiki.com/topic/944-odinshowcase-stock-showcase-files-for-odin-221/, which includes a "modem.bin" in the .tar.md5 file, so I hope that didn't mess anything up.

I was also considering upgrading to the ICS ROM, but was worried that might mess up my flash. I saw the thread on how to do it as long as it won't mess with my flash.

Also, I was interested in uninstalling some native apps like Nova, and the Sprint apps, but didn't really find anything on actually deleting them. I downloaded and ran Bloat Freezer, which worked for all the apps I wanted to get rid of except Amazon MP3, it's still on my app screen I just can't open it.

Hey,

I've tried to root my GS2 with Odin 1.85 and XWKDD_insecure. All went well, but after the reboot it was locked at the boot screen with the device name and an yellow triangle with an exclamation mark. It wouldnt load the SO. So I tried the GT-I9100_KE7_insecure, then i got an writing error on Odin. Then i Got a firmware error. Tried booting in recovery mode, did a factory reset and cleared cache. Still nothing.

Then I tried I9100XWKDD_I9100XXKDH_I9100OXXKDC_HOME and EXT4 with Odin 1.83 got rid of the exclamation mark, but the phone is still locket at the loadingboot screen (with the name of the device).

I may have done some dumb noob mistake, but i`ve followed the tutorials to the letter.

Please help me. I`m kinda desperate, `cause i just got this phone and here in Brazil it is SUPER-DUPER-expensive.

I wouldn't be too worried yet.

You just have to do a complete re-flash with stock ROM.

Get the latest one from Samfirmware.

edit: and by complete reflash I mean the whole package: PIT, PDA, PHONE and CSC.

Also click Re-Partition.

And also, make sure your KIES is updated, so you'll have the latest drivers. Connecting the phone to your computer in download-mode also installs new drivers.

First thing u have to do is root and "s-off" your phone:

http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-root-htc-evo-4g-ota-gingerbread-update-21656/

or here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1218386

The first link is much more detailed though, so I'd use that one.

After that, it is fairly easy:

1) download the .zip files for the ICS ROM that you want to use. I've used this one with success:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1364075

Just look & the end of the 1st post of that thread and you'll see links to a ICS ROM released on Jan 1, 2012.

Note that there are two zip files, one for the ROM, and one for the Google Apps (gapps). You'll probably want to download the gapps too (though it's optional).

Once you have the two zip files (and have rooted/s-off), plug your evo into your computer via usb in "disk drive" mode.

Then, on your computer, copy the two zip files to the top directory of the sdcard.

While you're at it, if you've not removed the PC36IMG.zip file, go ahead and delete it. You don't have to do this, but if it is there, recover mode will always automatically try to load it and prompt you if you want to use it.

Now that you are rooted and have all your files, you just need to apply them:

1) boot into recovery mode: (holding up volume while holding power).

2) Select "BOOTLOADER"

3) Select "RECOVERY" (This will cause the screen to change and will load up the ClockworkMod Recovery.)

4) select "backup and restore"

5) select "Backup" (this will back up your current setup).

6) go back to the top menu of the ClockworkMod Recovery and select the "wipe data/factory reset"

7) select "install zip from sdcard"

8) select "choose zip from sdcard"

9) select your ICS rom.

10) once this is done, reboot normally and let the phone start up. Once it has started up, shut it down again and reboot once more into recovery mode (holding power and vol up)

11) get back to the "install zip from sdcard" menu in the ClockworkMod Recovery and this time, install the gapps zip file that you downloaded.

12) reboot, and you're done.

Note, I've not found a fully functional ICS rom for the evo 4g yet, so you'll need to be willing to put up w/ the short comings until folks get things figured out.

If things go wrong, or if you decide that you don't like the ROM you've choose, you can always go back to your original ROM by using the Recovery mode and restoring from the back up that you made.

Good luck!

And I didn't have to do the GPS fix, but I don't think I tested any with 2.3.4. I restored a CWM backup right away, which restored Android 2.3.5 on the phone (C Spire's latest for the Showcase).

EDIT: Fixed it myself. Now running CyanogenMod 7.1. Softbricked my phone 3 times in the process but everything works :D

Hello,

I'll begin by saying that I'm a complete dumbass.

Now that that's out of the way, this morning I wanted to install CyanogenMod 7.1 for my Captivate. It wasn't my first time flashing a rom but it didn't really work when I followed the instructions.

Long story short, I did a lot of different things, following different guides I thought would help me and now I'm stuck in a hole and I'm not really sure how I got here.

My phone as it is atm:

Model number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I897

Firmware version 2.1-update1

Baseband version: I897UCJF6

Kernel version 2.6.29

jetaek.lee@sep-11 #2

Build number: ECLAIR

Ideally, I would just restore my backup, but I can't really do that. First, the phone works but I can no longer use the hardware keys to put it into either recovery mode or download mode. So I followed a tutorial to open them using the adb method. The problem thereafter is that my recovery screen doesn't have an option to apply an update. So I have no way of restoring my backup or flash any other rom for that matter. Also, I can't find Rom Manager Free in the market, and when I went to its internet page, it said my phone wasn't compatible.

This is more or less what my recovery screen says:

Android system recovery <2e>

>reboot system now

>reinstall packages

>delete all user data

>delete cache data

I looked for a few other things I could do but I don't want to mess up my phone more than it already is. The phone itself works perfectly fine though. Any ideas?
