[Galaxy S II Accessories] buxz777:
sorry no it was without the extended battery

i now have the sgp case fitted to my phone with the 2000mah battery and new cover and it does have a tiny bit of sag around the camera , this is because the sgp case trys to stick to the sgs2 form and includes the lip etc ie it oesnt bulk the phone up much , with the new battery and cover the lip is pretty much gone and the back is now flat thus making the neo hybrid have a tiny tiny bit of sga by the camera surround .

it really doesnt bother me though to be honest its hardly noticeable , it oes let a tiny bit of dut through but not much and it still protects the phone and looks good with minimal bulk :-)

its my fave case and the fact it fits the sgs2 with the 2000mah battery pretty dam well i am happy

cases like the casemate tough wont fit unless you dont fit the battery cover , id rather have teh sgp hybrid and the way it fits anydays
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott4:
Hello All,

My phone is i9100, using KG2 stock Hong Kong rom. When I made some changes in one of the contacts on the phone then saved the changes, it said save had been done. But after the phone handshaked with Gmail (it took about 40 seconds) all changes were revoked, so nothing was changed. I have around 3000 contacts. Is it related to large number of contacts on my phone?

I did a testing, is to disable all data connection so that my phone was isolated from the Internet. I made some changes in one of my contacts on the phone then saved it. Then waited for 2 minutes and then turned on data connection. The changes were revoked.

So I believe it is the matter of synchronization between phone and Gmail. This problem exists on my HTC Incredible S phone. There are so many experts making ROMs, do you have any clue on this?

Thanks!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott4:
"So I believe it is the matter of synchronization between phone and Gmail." <--- does this sentence in my post give you some hint that my contacts are being synchronized with Google's Gmail? if I chose save to phone only, not google, how can my contacts be sync with Gmail?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrandoHD:
Firstly I am just trying to render some assistance to someone who needs it.

Secondly, I do not have your phone with me so I was hoping you could confirm that setting as it is the first thing that should be checked.

Thirdly, the moment you turn the phone on for the first time and enter your Gmail credentials, all you contacts are synced, however, the default option in touchwiz (on all the roms I have used) is for that particular setting to be set as "Always ask"

fourthly, sorry for trying to assist in the thread that you created asking for assistance, also sorry for trying to confirm some basic settings before going further, as this has been an issue for others on this forum.

I hope someone is able to help you figure out your problem as the other suggestion that I have is better kept to myself as your attitude was greatly unappreciated

Thank You

PS. If you are having issues syncing contacts to gmail, you should state in the Opening Post that you have confirmed that you contact list is set to sync to gmail.....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott4:
no, it is not simply a general issue in sync contacts to gmail. The contacts on my phone were sync from my gmail account. you should take much time to understand the question.

hi,

can anyone advise if there is anyone working on how to s-off EVO3d with Hboot 1.49.00011 and above ?

seems like no one is interested in the EVO 3d GSM, nothing much seems to be moving ?

really fed up and disappointed,

maybe should get rid of EVO 3D GSM and get samsung galaxy s2,

HTC sucks , big time,
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
Sorry that you are fed up and disappointed. Since you are fed up and disappointed, the devs here working on this getting root FOR FREE will work even harder because they feel your pain that you cannot root your phone and run custom roms that these devs create FOR FREE. You should be happy and praising the devs here for what they have done instead of coming on here and creating a post whinning that there is no root exploit for the new HBOOT.

I'm from HTC so I don't have any familiarity with how this works...

does the "update.zip" (based on model number or other identifier) method work for anything? Since the bootloader isn't "locked" (crypto-signed) does that mean that update.zip's (or their equivalent) signature's aren't crypto-signed...or signed at all?

If the security is that lax, well, it is a matter of minutes until any one of us walks right into root....by accident

Rooting & Security

If this is not the right thread to ask this in, I apologize as I am not trying to hijack this thread. That being said, I am new to Android having only had my Samsung View 4g since its release and my new Epic Touch since last night. I have read several news articles that have indicated that a rooted device somehow is less secure then a stock device and I am wondering if this is true and if there is a way to have Root access and still remain secure or if this is just another thing the non-tech media are over hyping?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sonicfreak360:
They are over-hyping it, you have nothing to fear unless you actually are looking for an app to mess up your phone. Root access has an app called superuser which lets you control which apps can use root access to the system or not. Don't worry, its safe!

Hey,

A friend gave me his Galaxy S after another friend of him got it into this following state (I'm not sure what exactly he did or tried to do):

The phone is stuck in a boot loop, sometimes it shows the first frame of the boot animation for a second before booting again. When I start it in recovery mode (Android System Recovery (3e)) I get this error messages:

-- Copying media files...
E:failed to mount /sdcard (File exists)
E:copy_dbdata_media:can't mount /sdcard
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu
for format and reboot actions

The phone does not have an SD card in it.

After reflashing with the same firmware as original, I get these errors:

-- Copying media files...
E:failed to mount /sdcard (File exists)
E:copy_dbdata_media:can't mount /sdcard
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu
for format and reboot actions
meida files copy failed.

-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Formatting /dbdata...
Formatting /cache...
Deleting Meta Data
Data wipe failed.

I've tried flashing different firmwares too, including rooted ones, and the results were the same except for a case where the first error was about not being about to mount mmcblk0p1 instead of sdcard, and another case where another firmware cause the phone to appear to boot, but after a minute or too it got stuck on a black screen and stopped responding.

I followed many different guides on how to fix similar problems, but none of them actually worked.

Please help, thanks a loooot in advance. :)

I sent Faria, who said he has tools for solving this problem in that topic a PM, hopefully he'll share his tools with the community. :)

Meanwhile, I don't mind trying different solutions.

I also noticed something – if I keep the phone in the boot loop for a long time, it will eventually get to either a loop of the carrier boot animation (Which normally doesn't loop), or actually boot for one time. (When it booted I tried to power it off and see if it would boot again normally, and it didn't =/)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fteller:
Yep!

Hi guys!

Yep - probably I found the solution. One month ago I have bought i9000 with this problem (as broken). Finally I managed to start that SGS and even install ICS on it. The problem is (as I suppose) that internal flash memory is broken and You have to move /data partition to external SD card. So some flashes, some changes in files and repartitioning of SD card does the thing.

Currenty I am in the middle of preparing a tutorial to be pushed on YT to show how I managed to solve the problem. Stay tuned :)

Best regards

Best regards
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fteller:
Doubts....

Yes - I don't even know how much internal memory (in my case) is broken. So if You need 14GB of storage data, You will have to buy 16GB microSD. However for tests You can start with 2GB card (and split it like 1GB+1GB). And yes - you will have to hold SD card any time phone is ON. However You can safely transfer data to/from phone with USB cable. In ICS it works both with MTP and USB Mass Storage.

Hmm... I can try to prepare such manual for that too. As far as Android is a Linux, You will just to learn some linux commands:) First step i.e. copying vold.fstab from phone to sd card is quite simple. Putting it back may be a bit more complicated. But if You follow the manual second-by-second, I am sure You will manage to recover Your phone.

Best regards!

Thanks for helping us out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightsun47:
Well, honestly I might be asking too much again from you (since you've been so kind to offer this much for a fix), but again, I have knowledge of flashing and installing roms, but have absolutely no knowledge about partitioning sd-cards and using ADB software. So, I don't know if you can help us out with a tutorial on that too, which would be helpful to us doomed galaxy users.

Reason I am asking this is because day by day, I am seeing so many people facing this sd-card can't mount/corruption problem. So, if ONE complete work around is posted here on video, it can be stickied and can help many people. Thank you very much again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fteller:
Umm... We will see. Probably making ONE tutorial is just impossible. Too many threads are involved in solving this problem. However I will try to create distinct tutorials for reformating/repartitioning SD card and (maybe) some smaller tutorial on using ADB tool (from this POV).

Anyway: anybody solved problem with his i9000 using my YT movie?

Hi,

so I have created a short guide which shows how to repartition this microSD card using Kubuntu.

2. Burn it on CD

3. Follow the tutorial I uploaded on youtube.

But I made a nand backup, after trying a few Roms that I did not like

I was able flash my nand backup back to my phone and all was good.

and now I get errors when I do a data wipe, and dalvik cache wipe.

and when I try and do a nand backup of my Mik3d rom, I get an error and it stops, at about 75%

any ideas

these are some of the errors going by memory

error dev/block/mmcblkop2 and mmcblko

error mounting sd-ext/dalvik-cache

I tried to take my nand backup and copy it to a new sd card

in case my sd card became corrupt, it does flash all the way,

but when the phone starts I have just a blank wallpaper screen

with out the lock ring, and no way to use anything

Thanks guys
