[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nny76:
I am trying to un-softbrick my Galaxy S Vibrant. I attempted (Following the guide to a damn T) to install http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192438 the RevolutionRom on a stock (factor reset, stock firmware) phone.

Odin rebooted the phone, the Bullet installer voice played various messages. On one of the reboots the voice now just repeats "Convert data partition, not enough space on partition".

What I have tried:

Cannot access Download mode. (holding +/- on usb plugin just shows the battery level and the voice plays the message during)

Cannot load into recovery mode (boots back into Bullet screen, replays message).

How do I get this phone back to normal? I underestimated the "simple noob" directions posted on that thread, apparently it's not a 100% term.

Edit: I feel like this is the point where I need to invest in a hardware jig. The phone will only go into the charging screen or the bullet loading screen and the annoying voice. Recovery mode and/or download mode are inaccessible. i have tried every method posting and 3 button combo, no luck on download mode.

Does this sound like a hardware lock? I am really hoping this is recoverable. Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nny76:
Some additional info (steps I took to get to this point)

Phone was previously in "stock" condition i.e. still had Avatar on the screen.

1.) Factory Reset (allow phone to boot)

2.) Power Off

3.) Vol +/Vol + usb cable (Download mode)

4.) Fire up Odin3_v1.0

5.) unplug and replug usb (odin reports com3 open)

6.) download RevolutionJVQFinalUpdate2OdinWITHBOOTLOADERS.tar.md5

7.) click "PDA" navigate to the above download

8.) leave all other buttons checked as default in Odin (Auto Reboot, F Reset Time)

9.) hit start, wait

10.) Odin did the md5 check, uploaded some files, and rebooted the phone, after that the phone played a message similar to "creating partition, please wait 2 minutes"

11.) after 1-2 restarts, the phone started looping, saying "convert partition, not enough space on partition".

12.) above post is post issue diagnostic

I am more curious as to what I did "wrong" than anything else. I see if this is a hardware issue a jig can be used to access download mode. Just not sure why the three button salute puts me in this weird charging + "convert partition, not enough space" combo. It doesn't seem like the phone is super bricked, but it doesn't match any searched for symptoms I have seen with HWL phones either.

Expert advice appreciated!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nny76:
got it!.

Wow.

So the revolutionrom is apparently european based. I had to use VOL+ and USB cable to enter download mode. Worked on the first try. Time to odin back to stock and find a new rom.

Hope this helps someone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jneal9:
I believe that means you are using the Gingerbread bootloaders. Power or USB + Volume Up is Download Mode, and Power or USB + Volume Down is Recovery Mode.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nny76:
Ahh that explains it.

I just used odin to reflash the stock PIT and tmobile T959UVjI6 rom to it, and it still shows this behavior (vol + to recover, and the sim card won't read now).

I can get a rom to boot now at least

Do I need to check "re-partition"? I assumed the PIT file forced a re format.

Also, did you flash any themes? What ROM and kernel were you trying to flash?

Something wrong with your rom. Try downloading a rom with md5 checksum, make sure it matches up. Then flash that with a format all script. Don't flash anything else. See if that works.

I have been playing with side by side tablet/smartphone version of my app using the single marketplace listing method, and whilst that works, I have some curious reports of what my app will and won't run on for example:

Galaxy S2(GT-I9100) NOT COMPATIBLE

Galaxy S2(GT-I9103) COMPATIBLE

Galaxy Tab 10.1(GT-P7300) NOT COMPATIBLE

Galaxy Tab 10.1(GT-P7500) COMPATIBLE

And so forth, with many identical devices having different status....

My manifest snippet:

I'm seeing stuff like this (which is worrying...)
[Android Software Development] Metastable:
Have you tried getting rid of all that and just letting it default to allowing all screen sizes?
[Android Software Development] CrazyPeter:
Not an option unfortunately, As I need to be able to offer differnt apps to tablets to what I offer to smartphones on the single marketplace listing.

My listing actually has 2 APK's (this is just the smartphone one), the tablet one is API 11+ and xlarge screens in it's manifest, and seems to work OK.

If I remove all that, then the markeplace will try and replace my table version when I make it live, I have to exclude xlarge from the smartphone version, and exclude everything but xlarge in the tablet version.

Anyone got this working?

Did find this thread, which seems to be the same problem, however the solution (removing it all) is no good for me.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] steadly2004:
So, I just flashed the serendipity 7 ROM to my phone today, I love it. It's fast and doesn't drain the battery. Infused seem to drain the battery quickly.

Anyway, the power button to take a picture seemed to work this morning, now it doesn't. Is there some way to get it working again? I have installed lots of apps, but I don't think any of them mess with the camera. I installed the samsung quick office, music, clock and video player. (I downloaded the 4, not sure if I installed all of them.) I used the Android Sideload Wonder Machine, not sure if that is the source of the problem or not. Any help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 02ranger:
The power button doesn't work to take pictures in S7. I remember reading this somewhere and can verify it didn't work for me after flashing S7. What I did to get it working is:

(FIRST, make a nandroid backup just in case!!)

1. Using your favorite file explorer (Root Explorer for me), go to the system/app folder on your phone

2. Mount the directory as R/W.

3. Rename the camera.apk in this folder to something like camera.apk.bak

4. Find a copy of the Infused v2 ROM, unzip it, go to system/app, and copy that camera.apk.

5. Go back to the system/app folder on your phone, make sure it's still mounted as R/W, and paste the Infused camera.apk into the directory.

6. Change the permissions on the camera.apk to match the permissions of the original camera.apk.

7. Next, mount the system/app folder on your phone as R/O.

8. You may have to delete and remake any shortcuts to the camera app you have on your home screens.

This worked for me and has worked perfectly all day, but I've only used it for a day. I won't swear that it won't mess something up in the future. I have taken approx. 10 photos since changing this with no problems, but you never know. Make a nandroid backup just in case, and save the camera.apk.bak in case it does FUBAR something.

PS: I wrote this as if you're a total noob. If you're not, I apologize. Wasn't trying to be condescending, just thorough. lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] steadly2004:
Thank you, your explanation makes sense, and I am a total newbc lol. I'll do it tonight. Thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] steadly2004:
How do I change the permissions?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 02ranger:
If you have root explorer just long press on the file. It should have an option for permissions. The folder that the app is in has to be mounted as R/W to be able to change the permissions. I don't know specifically how to do it in other file managers. If you don't have root explorer yet, it is definitely worth getting. It's the best file manager I've used.

The exact permissions you need to set are:

All 3 rows should have Read checked, only the "Owner" should have Write checked, and nobody should have Execute checked. Make sure the file is already pasted into the system/app folder before you try to change permissions.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] steadly2004:
Thank you for all your help! It's working just fine. My icon disappeared automatically and I just had to bring it back to the front screen, no problem. Thanks!

[Optimus One, P500, V General] jawz101:
Anyone put any thought into working on tweaking/refreshing a gingerbread/CM compatible kernel for the Optimus V?

Seems like most of the Gingerbread work people have been doing is based on modifying ROM packages by rebranding someone else's work. I'd feel more satisfied actually helping said ROM developers by delving into uncharted territory of the kernel in lieu of ROM work. I'm sure I'm skipping steps and should be tinkering with a ROM first and leave out kernel work but it seems like most people are focused on repackaging the ROM with their own branding. Don't get me wrong- I think it's great- but aosp and now blarf are the Optimus V un(official) ROM developers and I think it'd be interesting to work on potential kernel tweaks for the gingerbread ROMs.

Is this over my head? Yes. It'd definitely be baby steps. I'd be starting from scratch on understanding git version control, merging changes from other sources into the LG sources, the life of a patch, working with others. If anything I'd be proud if I could understand kernel structure, compiling, git management, working with others on it, and eventually if I could make a single improvement to the kernel I'd be more than satisfied.

Anyone have thoughts, interest, expertise or willing to work on such an endeavor? I figure it'd be a lot of dumb questions and trial and error but in the end I feel I'd be making some good, geeky online friends.

I think I had my first successes by simply compiling the thunderc kernel from blarf's github project android_kernel_thunderc.

links:

android_kernel_thunderc github page hosted by Inferior Human Organs based on LG kernel

Code Aurora - source for Qualcomm specific kernel changes. Our phone has a Qualcomm 7627 chipset

LG-P500-2.6.35-re-write - github page of the freakish kernel tinkerer FrancisoFranco. I wouldn't know where to begin but he's bent on inking out performance and battery on the Optimus P500. The P500 uses a different Qualcomm chipset but his work is a good reference for the potential of what can be done to the kernel (if we could figure out what he's doing and if anything could do anything for us)

Building Kernel from source- cyanogenmod wiki

A howto for setting up the build environment and getting through a compile from Android Central

I'd figure it could start with a step by step of getting a build environment set up, then working with git, compiling your 1st kernel from Optimus V sources, and then from there who knows. In the end we could shave a millisecond off of some random thing in the phone, save 5 minutes of battery life or simply end up with a pile of dung. Or it could turn out to have a few mind blowing tweaks that make our lil phones do something awesome.

If anything you can tell me I'm retarded. That's an acceptable answer as well :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bigsupersquid:
a suggestion.

nand flash memory in the phone has a limited lifespan.

testing kernels happens over and over and over and etc...

fastboot is really cool.

you can use it to boot a kernel+ramdisk or a complete boot.img without flashing into nand.

fastboot -c "command line" boot zImage ramdisk.cpio.gz

or

fastboot boot boot.img

substitute the appropriate command line into the quotes (pretty sure the quotes are required) and change the other filenames as needed.

a nifty side effect is that a reboot, battery pull, or crash boots back into your regular boot.img
[Optimus One, P500, V General] franciscofranco:
The recent changes on that github page are a no go. Only stuff up to "Smartass2: improved code" are good to use. Other than that small remark I think it's a good idea and it will give you a lot of knowledge.

You can post here any questions you have about git, compiling, errors etc, I'll be more than happy to share my acquired knowledge for your project to succeed ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jawz101:
Francisco- first simple question. What real world gains are you seeing with your mods on the P500 kernel? I can't really visualize much going from people's linpack scores and whatnot on your kernel threads.

another ignorant question: In your opinion what would be the best approach to porting over your kernel to the Optimus V. Can some be a matter of replacing our stock files with your files? I'd assume some would be digging into lines of code. It sounds like it'd be just as difficult trying to brute force taking the Franco kernel and trying to get it to compile for our phone's chipset.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bigsupersquid:
question:

when I build the optimus s 2.6.35 kernel (same board hardware as the optimus v,) and try to use it with any rom (it even works with the stock froyo rom, but has the same issues as with cm7) the suspend/resume (early suspend/late resume) shows up in dmesg, but the screen on doesn't show up in the dmesg after the resume 90% or more of the time when I press a key to wake the device.... the backlight comes on but the screen stays off. with working older 2.6.32 kernel, dmesg shows device turns screen and touch on with resume.

display works fine until sleep. then it tends to stay turned off; but logcat, dmesg, and adb all show device is still working other than screen turned off. the backlight and button lights work as expected on suspend/resume.

any suggestions for trying to track this down?

I looked at:

kernel/power/main.c (added asynchronous suspend)

kernel/power/earlysuspend.c (no changes)

kernel/power/wakelock.c (no changes)

arch/arm/mach-msm/pm.c (changed NR_CLKS to MAX_NR_CLKS)

and didn't see anything that looked like it drifted too far from 2.6.32

perhaps I just wasn't aware of what I was looking for and need to look at something else, like the video drivers?

<edit>

nevermind, the screen does come on sometimes and definitely turns off, so the kernel functions are probably ok and it's just getting bad input from the rom.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jawz101:
Well I'm officially lost on what the best approach would be to get the Franco kernel on the Optimus V or if it even offers much gains.

Hey guys I am lefty and I like to use my a lot and I mean a lot I am texting; using youtube facebook tumblr all the time and with the regular settings my battery dies before I get home.. but since that I always happens to me I tend to do a lot of setting changes to save battery so it keeps me around 50% by the time I get home from school.

- Wi-fi Off

-Background Data Off

-Auto Off Screen 1 min

-Animations None at all or Some

-Brightness Auto Brightness

Everything Else can be left alone.

Now I recommend having a custom Kernel as this helps a lot!

Now with Set CPU I use profiles and these profiles really helped improve battery life.

Please don't mind that there isn't a 3G icon in my house its crappy ass service so I tend to turn it off and use wi-fi!

The 12 am 5 am profile is for me only so the battery last me longer for school the next day so don't set a profile like that

BTW I hope this helps you get long battery life!
