The file phoning.zip you are using is not a radio . It is a custom recovery package. You have overwritten your recovery. Re member a PG58img.zip can contain a radio, splash, recovery, hboot etc or all of them.

First delete the pg58img.zip from the sdcard. Then try to reboot. Figure out which radio is recommended for your ROM. Download the appropriate radio.

Then flash it. Radio can be flashed via fastboot as well as Pg58img.zip method.

Learn some basics of adb and fastboot.

Flashing radio via fastboot is much easier .

Hi everybody!

This is my first posting here, I hope it's in the right category. I've used the search function, found similar problems but no one facing the same issue. I wanted to upgrade to Android 2.3.3 (2.3.4) using Odin. I tried three different Firmware releases but none worked. This is what happens in Odin:

<ID:0/006> param.lfs
<ID:0/006> zImage

I tried with and without repartition. Sometimes the process stops at the SetupConnection line, sometimes at zImage when obviously the kernel should be installed. When in download mode, I see a blue progress bar starting to move across the phone screen, but soon later the whole display turns green/blue/white (it always had a different color) with no more text. Hours later Odin finally displays a FAIL message.

I tried firmware versions I9000XXJVQ and I9000XXJVR from samfirmware.com with 512 PIT file. I recognized some Kies-Thread running in the background on my Win7 machine, which I killed to prevent any problems.

In another forum I was told this issue might be related to some lagfixes installing ext4. When I read that it came to my mind that I indeed had installed the voodoo lagfix in February - I had completely forgotten about that. However, is there a chance to recover the phone? Putting it into DL mode is the only thing that works. Any help is appreciated!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuribo67:
Can you go in recovery mode to disable the lagfix? and when you use the 3 part file always check re-partition.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aileron79:
Well, I tried, but I did not succeed - (Hold Vol up + Power on) but I'll try again. Is it absolutely necessary to remove the lagfix? As mentioned before someone told me that ext4 might be causing those problems. However, I though the sd was repartitioned (when checkbox is ticked) and the firmware is a kind of disk image which is installed and thus overwrites the existing file system?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuribo67:
it's vol up + home button + power on, but don't release the button untill your are in the menu.

A stock firmware is made for RFS partition not ext4, i think it's that the problem, but i may be wrong.

Thank you all so far! Well, it almost worked - at least kind of. I tried it a couple of times, rebooted the PC, rebooted the phone, reinstalled drivers, used another USB port. After a couple of retries it stopped at "factoryfs.rfs" - which obviously contains the file system. This makes me guess that it does not matter which FS currently is installed as it gets overwritten by this factoryfs-thing. Please correct me if I am wrong!

Still, any help on this topic is gladly appreciated!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgsshedden:
when you flash pda in odin the file system is over-written and reverts to rfs.

Try without re-partition ticked. Also after several attempts your battery may have no juice left in it: pull the battery, let it sit a couplce of minutes and then plug it in and see if it will re-charge -- may not, you might be stuck at download and odin.

Flash an older 2.2 firmware first: pda. phone and csc, don't bother with the pit file and don't bother with re-partition -- this is just to get you back and working, you can then charge the battery and update to jvr after.

Also check the thread on unbricking the phone -- most issues with flashing are recoverable, its just persistence.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aileron79:
Well, I tried to flash with and without repartition/pit-file. The download process hangs at different stages. I doubt it has to do with the battery, as the phone has been attached to the PC for almost three days now, I guess the battery is charged then...?

To which of the thousands of unbricking threads do you refer? I read something about a tool which puts the phone into recovery mode, from where I can format the sd. However, I can't get to recovery mode by pressing vol up, home + power, i just can enter download mode. I have tried various firmwares, neither did work... :(

Thanks for your help so far, maybe you can give me another hint on the thread you're talking about?

Mate, try a full 3 file flash and a pc with Win XP 32-bit and ODIN 1.83

Worked for me :)

Good luck flashing !!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aileron79:
Thank you all guys, it worked - even though it was none of the tips provided here. I have no clue what the problem was, I moved to another PC, it took me three tries to flash the phone.

- The second PC was Win7 64bit as well.

- I used the original cable (tried with another one as well, no difference)

- I used just the drivers without any Kies installation.

- I used a SINGLE FILE FLASH with Android 2.2.1 first (which I was then unable to boot as it stuck with the S symbol during boot)

- Flashed 2.3.4 afterwards - worked.

My phone has never ever been running so smoothly before, even with lag fixes!

Unfortunately, my external SD makes troubles, but let's see how to fix that.

My note to all of you guys facing similar problems:

Some say, use PIT and repartition, some say, don't

Just don't care - for me it finally worked without (single file flash). Try all possibilities.

Some say, install Kies, just because of the drivers, some say, install the drivers without Kies

Just don't care - try either option, it might work - for me the drivers without Kies finally worked but I have no clue if that had any impact.

Some say, use another USB cable, some say use the original one

Just don't care - try different cables if possible, in my case there was no difference.

Some say, use the USB port closest to your MB, others say, try various USB ports

Just don't care - try different ports, the behavior cannot be reproduced, each try the flashing process got stuck at another stage - independent of the USB port used.

Some say, try another computer with another OS

Good choice - that made it working in my case. Even though the other machine was nearly the same with exactly the same OS installed. Also, I have successfully flashed my phone with the first one before.

Thanks guys, you're the best! And give Android 2.3.4 a try, it's FAST and SMOOTH!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelkebe:
I have a white 32GB 3G model. My Galaxy Tab woke me up the last 2 nights. Before I went to bed I attached the A/C-Adapter and muted the device. Few hours later it woke me up with the vibration. The last night I turned the Galaxy Tab off, but surprisingly it vibrated again, after the battery was fully charged.

Any hint how to disable this? I have read that it is possible to disable the haptic feedback, but I like the haptic feedback when I touch e.g. the Home-Button. And disabling it everytime I go to bed is no option.

I had so many bad blocks the stock ruu wouldn't fit on my device. The phone still worked fine though, had no problems with recovery at all and was happy using the phone with over 110mb missing.

Solution, drop your phone and claim on insurance.

(Note..insurance fraud is illegal, I accidentally dropped my phone and cracked the screen)

The trouble with sending it back to HTC is what are you going to say? "Hi, I was flashing a custom rom and it failed due to bad blocks..."

Edit: try a different recovery or buy titanium backup.

I'm on GBE 1.9RC2 and am thinking of switching to FE 2.0 to regain voltage control abilities. Are there any other benefits/downsides I should be aware of?

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] burningembers:
It seems pretty much the same to me.

Things to be aware of:

Pop-ups/Textboxes still have that weird exaggerated border that makes stuff cut-off or not display right.

The packaged kernel has grainy/washed-out colors, so a lot of us have flashed imnuts kernel to regain the saturated, richer color look.

You'll probably get a few acore crashes the first couple of boots. They just sort of stopped happening to me.

I did have issues with nothing downloading/installing (error codes and such) the first time I clean flashed, I haven't had that happen since my second flash.

They would be flashing the kernel to replace what comes with GCFE2.0 but that doesnt replace GCFE2.0 as the Rom.

I have always heard that the only way to know what is good or bad about a new rom is to flash it. Try flashing it and running it for a day or 2, if you dont like it flash back to what you currently have. Most people will say some of the major differences but overall everyone's phone runs different and what might work for one wont for you.

ROMs differ from one phone to another. You can't use the ROM of one phone for another model.

Do you mean the Galaxy Mini S5570?

The Galaxy Mini has threads on this website. All you have to do is read and choose which one you think would work best(or you could try them all).

You'll need a newer device w/ a better GPU on board, if I remember correctly 10MB is dedicated in the G1's GPU....Which is crappy...You'll be better off with something using a Power VR SGX 540+ or a Adreno 220+, and Tegra2.

[Nook Touch General] cceerrtt:
Hi,

I have found few topics about key mapping but I still don't know whether it is already possible to map any hardware button to a MENU (?) so it triggers the non-stock launcher. I mean, do I still need button savior to switch to the launcher?

I would like to root my nook but don't want to use TouchNooter. (I think it breaks some of the stock rom functions and it also brings apps I do not want).

I would prefer just the root with adb over usb (should be possible with a custom ramdisk attached in one thread here), 3rd party apps installation enabled (update sqlite db), and an external laucher of course. I think I can live without the market.

It would be great to have "small" (as less apps as possible) customized nook rom without "phone" related apps.
[Nook Touch General] dorino1:
You can remap the buttons, and it's pretty easy. system/usr/keylayout, I believe, and then the file without the omap prefix. The last four lives are the side buttons. However, I find it quite handy to use the new n-button mod/app by XorZone -- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1289894

That mod/app changes the n-button to a home when pressed (returns to launcher), and a recent app pop-up when held for a few seconds. Very handy, especially if you don't intend to use the nook's onboard reader. (I'm using Aldiko instead, since the default reader doesn't refresh often enough to prevent ghosting...)

Remap the other keys to VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN (BACK and MENU can be handy too) if you don't plan on using the stock reader and you can then use your hardware buttons in Aldiko, the Kindle app, etc.

Personally, my left buttons are MENU and BACK, and my right buttons are VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN, and I don't use the stock B&N library/reader at all.

If you plan on using the stock reader, be sure to keep atleast one back and forward button at the default mapping...

On the topic of touchnooter, everything it comes with can be uninstalled when it's not needed. there really isn't much clutter there to begin with... As I recall, it may or may not break the B&N shop but I'm unsure if that problem still persists or what. Otherwise, it doesn't break anything.

Hi,

I am new to android and i am a multi language user.

I installed several multi language keyboards but none of them fully changed the keyboard layouts i am looking for.

They all gave me the options to type diffrent language in regular text boxes but none of them allowed me to change the language of the keyboard in which i see when i press the "phone" button, the keyboard that pops up for quickly searching and dailing from the dialer application. the 12 key keyboard (with "abc" "def" ... on each key).

How is it possibale to change this keyboard to a diffrent language layout ?

[Android Apps and Games] cyansmoker:
cewan created the awesome Spotify Controller application. I really like it and I am obviously not the only one.

Of course this made me even more sad that there is no matching server for OS X; there is a package that you can download but it's only Windows and Linux.

So, I took cewan's server, reverse engineered some of it and come up with this version that works on my Mac.

I could certainly have done it a bit better but not without de/recompiling his Java code so I decided to play with its "facade" scripts instead.

It's very much Alpha quality and I don't expect it to 100% match the current Linux & Windows servers, but I am able to play/pause, fast forward/backward, display song information and add songs from Spotify.

My script builds on top of what Cewan posted here.

It should be compatible with Linux, Windows and OS X.

Get it here (SpotifyController.zip)

Notes:

1. To configure, open a terminal window and run install_osx

2. To run the server, run SpotifyController.sh

I hope to turn it into a more "MAC-like" service in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] dbrits:
The installation process for this server seems very straightforward but I absolutely cannot get it to work. This is what I keep getting when I run install_osx:

Installing Spotify Controller Server...

This installation file has been created for OS X. If you are not using that distribution, installation might not work, but it should be pretty straightforward to modify the script to work for your distribution.
This program requires Spotify and Java. This program will now check if Spotify is installed. Press enter to continue...

sh: spotify_install_osx.sh: No such file or directory

Spotify installed.
Proceeding with installation. Creating application shortcut...

cp: resources/SpotifyController STOP.desktop: No such file or directory
Remapping commands to make OSX commands default

Program is now installed. We will now perform some tests to make sure your installation works correctly. First of all, please start Spotify manually and start playing a song.
Press "Enter" when you have started a song on Spotify:

Trying to pause the song...
/Applications/SpotifyController/install_osx: line 61: commands/spotifyPlayPause_osx: No such file or directory
Did the music stop (press 'y' if it did)?
n
Seems that we have a problem controlling Spotify. Make sure you have Spotify (for Linux, not under Wine) installed, running and playing a song. Also make sure that you have "dbus" installed. This script will now exit. When you have solved the requirements, rerun the installation script.

It looks like '.' (current directory) may not be in your path.

Are you running install_osx from the terminal?

If so, try running it again after typing:

export PATH=.:$PATH
[Android Apps and Games] dbrits:
No worries. Thanks for replying. I had a feeling something was wrong with the path and I was able to get the server installed. However, I couldn't get the server to launch. It's been a while since I last tried this so I'll give it another try when I get home from work.
[Android Apps and Games] cyansmoker:
Rather than the desktop shortcut, can you try to run, in terminal, in the directory you installed from:

SpotifyController.sh

[Android Apps and Games] dbrits:
I did try running it from the terminal in the directory I installed it from. If I remember correctly, I received an "insufficient privileges" error which I thought odd because my account has administrative privileges. I'd have to get back to you with the exact error message when I get home. My job gets in the way of the important stuff. :-)
