[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tortabeech:
Hi guys!

I'm a semi noob when it comes to all this, BUT I did thoroughly look over the forums for almost 8 hours now trying to figure all this out on my own, but now I think I may have taken a turn for the worse.

First of all I have a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant 4g. I first rooted my phone successfully using the SuperOneClick, no problem. Then I wanted to use team whiskey's Bionix Frost rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1119986) which I LOVED on my other vibrant galaxy s (not 4g).

I then went to this thread to get CWM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1099374) which was placed in all the right folders I believe, BUT here was when the problems started....

I did not run the update.zip file twice... I went in CWM mod (by pressing the volume buttons and power button) and then reinstalled packages and then selected the update.zip....THEN I thought I could go ahead and install the Bionix rom by selecting that zip file..

It unloaded and then went to reboot...but the screen never passed the GALAXY S 4g logo....

so back to the forums I went. I really couldn't find anything that would help except load the old firmware with odin, so I went to http://www.akaskriller.com/free/vibrantflashing1.php and followed his steps..but I think that was a bad move because these files aren't particularly for my 4g

so when I went to flash the original stock (which was 2.1) I think I really screwed it up because it said FAIL when I tried to run it through odin..

now here's the big probem:

I can't get into download mode any longer (by pressing JUST the volume buttons and then usb and then battery). I took the picture and attached it, so now what can I do?

the picture is a cellular mobile phone connected to a yellow triangle with an exclamation point connected by dots to a computer.

please please please help if you can and leave step by step instructions if possible. I would greatly appreciate it, and I know it's stressful reading these things, but I honestly have tried for 8 hours now trying to figure this out on my own, and now I'm asking the community. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
You can still Odin from there. That is basically another download screen. I got it once after an Odin fail. Ran Odin again and was fine. Start Odin up and plug in your phone to see if it recognizes it. If it does then Odin a rom mentioned for the sgs4g only.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
You are in download mode. Also, the stock rom isn't 2.1, it is 2.2.1 this isn't a vibrant.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tortabeech:
I can't seem to find a stock rom to use through odin (a .tar file right?)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrMilky:
ok guys i got this problem with some headphones :

when i volume up the music to more than 0db using the voodoo audio booster my headphones just like unplug they dont actually unplug but its the same effect, the music stops and turns on again in 1-2 sec with like -30db. I got this problem with the SGS 2 headphones plugged into my SGS 1.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nwsk:
Did you set some sort of volume limit in the voodoo control app?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haloimplant:
First wow dude 0 dB is loud. I have only even approached -10 dB using it as line-out, up near -20 dB on headphones is ear-splitting.

Second the -30 dB is the jack plug-in safety option. You can turn it off in the voodoo control app but it is activating because the headphones are being 'unplugged', which is the real problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrMilky:
ok so first my limit is +5db , and i know its loud i had never listened that loud to my last headphones ( the original SGS ones) and i dont know but i think the problem is not that much in the hardware but in the software. When i even get close to 0db the sound gets real crappy, and when i connect it to the laptop and turn them really loud the sound is perfect so the headphones dont have like a limit or something because i have several audio boosts on my laptop too. What i am trying to say that the problem is not in the headphones, and when i try get my music on the phone to more than -5db it sounds like -15db or something like that :) any ideas ? i think i have 3 options :D

1) problem in the phone

2) problem in the headphones

3) problem with the voodoo app

ohh and the other day i used these HTC headphones they had a button on the mic and when i listened to the music the sound was crappy and they were unplugging when i got my music to 0db but when i press and hold the button the quality was perfect and they were not unplugging. So again anyone any ideas :D

I am running modem kh2 with kc1 bootloaders. Rom is audiophile redux . How would I get on ki1 and still have cwm.

EDIT: darn, posted in wrong forum, please move mods.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Are you referring to the latest gb leak? If so you can Odin it then Odin honks modified ki1 kernel to get cwm.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
Wow you have Ki4 already? Ki1 just came out.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] David1239:
Lol, sorry, typo, fixed, cant change title though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
I would do what Exodian said and use Odin. Unless you want to disable Ext 4 if your on it and use CWM to flash it and then aright after flashing the ROM to flash Dr. Honk modified stock recovery through CWM. That's what I did.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] David1239:
Hold on, what are the steps to flash with cwm?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
Download Whitehawkx Deodexed version HERE

Then download Dr. Honk's stock + Voodoo Kernel for KI1 HERE

Put both those files in your SDCard. Then flash the ROM first then the Kernel right after.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Nice! Didn't know there was a deodexed version available.

[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
Just a question what is the radio on the bell GB?

I'm on Telus so looking for the best signal.

I would try either arhd or unity btw, both great roms.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
The radio in the Bell GB is version 1; most the the others floating around are version 2. The latest Sasktel GB Rom has the most recent version 2 radio and that is what I have flashed on my unlocked Bell IncS.

Android revolution HD is a great ROM to start with as it includes sense and is practically bug free.
[Droid 2 General] NYwRiter94:
So last night I broke down and rooted my Droid 2, then installed ApeX 2.0.0 RC3. While it hasn't been revolutionary, my phone is much smoother and faster, and I love it so far. Only problem is, when I import my Facebook contacts and then attempt to add my friends' phone numbers to the FB contacts, it doesn't let me edit my FB contacts. On my stock unrooted GB, I had no problem editing FB contacts to add the phone numbers in.

I have a backup of my original GB once I rooted it, so I was thinking maybe I could backup ApeX, reinstall my original backup, use Titanium Backup (never used it, so I'm only assuming this is possible) to save my contacts, and then reinstall my ApeX backup and reinstall my contacts.

If there are any other options, or if that does work, please let me know. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mschmiedel:
OK,

I was just finished installing my phone with EG22 (meaning Gingerbread ROM, not Radio), but I had some strange issue.

I installed Titanium Backup and tried to remove (force) Amazon mp3 apk. The phone rebooted into recovery and an error appeard telling Clockwork couldn't mount /system.

The phone was bricked, couldn't do anything in recovery, any action would lead to a screen with an Android logo and a "!" sign in a triangle.

So I used odin to reinstall stock Froyo (trying to flash CWM directly failed too) and now I'm rooting again in order to reflash with EG22. Any issues like these? Did I do something stupid trying to remove the app? What if I adb with root privileges and delete the app?

Regards
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomcat5:
I think it was just a fluke

I delete the Amazonmp3 apk all the time. EG22 was really stable for me, too. I don't think you did anything wrong. I would just chalk it up to a bad flash or random corruption.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mschmiedel:
It was indeed very strange, never had such an issue. Is it the same to remove it via Titanium Backup or via adb directly?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Get sdx app removal tool. You can backup all your bloat before deleting them. It also allows you to restore those apps.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomcat5:
Titanium backup works fine for me. I have to spend a few hours in it every time I install a new ROM anyway, so I just delete and freeze apps there. Never really had a problem unless I do something stupid like delete the market or the status bar, lol.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mschmiedel:
Well,

Just removed manually (with ADB) all the bloatware, Seems to have worked fine, still finding apps like:

AllShare (will see what it's for)

Free HD Game

Nascar

SprintID (there's certainly no app in /system/app that contains Sprint or sprint)??

And that should be it, from having over 20 useless apks to having 4 is a big improvement. Still wondering why Titanium messed up my device, but well, doing it manually is also fun... :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomcat5:
1. AllShare is useless, just get rid of it. I always do even though I forget what it does.

2. The free HD games APK is BS from Sprint that does nothing for you. NASCAR is Sprint's NASCAR app. If you use it, you can delete it.

3. I would keep SprintID. It is Sprint's weird theme applier/app installer. I don't use it but I always keep it.

All of these can be SAFELY removed with Titanium Backup. I have done it to all of them, I think on EG22 also.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bjk81:
First time poster, running stock Android. I'd really like to keep my G2x but, even after a manual Gingerbread update, it is still unstable. The random reboots have stopped, but basically every 1-3 days it slows down to the point that I have to manually reboot it. Sometimes it freezes when I try to reboot and I have to pull the battery.

All things equal, I would rather not root my phone. I'd be perfectly happy to keep stock software if my phone were stable. BUT, I am willing to root if it means I can have a stable build. I don't care about constant upgrades, bells and whistles, etc. I just want my phone to work without me worrying about it.

What do you think is my best option? Should I just try to return the phone and hope for a more stable replacement with Gingerbread pre-installed? Or should I root it? I am fairly competent technically but have never tried rooting a phone. If I root, then a few questions:

1) What rom should I put on the phone? Like I said, I am looking most for stability and functionality. Battery life is important too. I don't care about overclocking or any of that jazz.

2) If I root it, can I go back to stock?

3) Does it void my warranty if I root it?

Thanks for your help.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
This is probably the easiest phone to root and install clockwork recovery, seriously you should root it as it definetly helps and you can always go back to stock.

Check out tgagunmans nvflash tool for the latest 5.0.2.0 recovery. Oneclick root is as easy as connecting your g2x to PC and clicking root on oneclick LOL

As for roms I would reccommend faux's aosp 1.3.1 nexus rom or cyanogenmod 7.1 stable to start with as they are both great on battery life and excellent performing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tsx2004:
If return, what other phone do you have in mind? Depends on what you paid for this G2X. sensation is not a bad choice or wait for the samsung GSII
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dreggs:
Root.

Its easy..fast..and reversible!

I run stock kernal with weapong2x and its stable and gets decent battery life.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MarcMaiden:
Here is my experience:

I have always been the type of person to put roms on their phones. Every since I had my OG droid and the bootloader was unlocked my accident. I've have had nothing but good experiences from ROMs.

I had the HTC Sensation originally (never had the g2x until 3 weeks ago) and found that after modding it still was a slow phone. The screen was nice, but thats about it.

I Rom'd the g2x first with eagleblood, now im running MIUI and am in love. Super stable, no issues, works better than you would expect. The Devs on this site have made it ridiculously easy to root and mod this phone. It is very hard to ruin this phone when modding. Especially if you read the instructions.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bjlefebvre:
Root it

I rooted the G2x and am running latest CM Nightly ROM on it. Very stable – no reboots yet – and fairly good with battery life (I can get through a day pretty easily even with streaming music over 4g and using Navigation). The G2x also offers tethering and becomes a Wifi hotspot, which helps a lot for my job. So far a rooted G2x has been great for me, and using ROM Manager app after rooting keeps things easy.

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------

Is One-Click working for G2x? I tried it last week and it would not root the phone, leading me to use tgagunmans' method I could be wrong, tho.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bjk81:
Cool, thanks for the advice. Is there a backup tool so I can keep my programs and settings, or do I have to reinstall everything after rooting and installing new rom?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bjlefebvre:
Titanium Backup. Settings -> Batch -> backup apps w/data.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
Hey buddy flash this root zip in cwm and your done easy as hell u could also unroot it too if had too;)

How do you install it on Mango beta? I keep getting the interop error code. Phone is dev-unlocked htc surround, AT&T.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] derausgewanderte:
if you unlocked your phone with chevron or any other registry editor you are fully unlocked. However if you have a true developer unlocked phone (via a dev account with MS), then you cannot install interop apps on Mango. See here for details.

A user with a legit dev unlocked device cannot deploy ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES xaps. They just get the dreaded E: 0x81030120 error.

Here is what the expert says.

but there is hope for Samsung and HTC users. Heathcliff just released a new procedure to fully unlock without going back to NoDo here.

---------- Post added at 02:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 AM ----------

btw. there is another thread announcing the app. Schaps also updated the registry editor which works fine on my LG Quantum.

there is no straight forward way to uninstall the newly installed apps from the settings page. I successfully uninstalled with XAPDeployX. Sideload the xap again and check "force uninstall if application is already installed". Then click deploy. The program will uninstall the existing one on the device first and report this in the deploy tool with a success message. Right then you unplug the phone from the USB. Voila - it is now uninstalled and gone from settings.

Somebody else posted that you can install an older version (e.g. v1.3) that will show up in apps. Then you uninstall and it normally and it will be removed from settings as well.

just in case it doesn't work for you and you want to remove it...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] piaqt:
OK. So how do I illegitimately unlock my dev-account-with-MS-unlocked Mango phone?

And thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] derausgewanderte:
if you are on Mango until now only LG users were able to get into the registry via the MFG tool to unlock their devices. Other users would have to go back to NoDo, fully unlock, set measures to prevent relock and then upgrade. But Heathcliff seems to have found a way to do this without going back to NoDo. He seems to be very close to a solution, working on Samsung and probably soon on HTC as well. I'd suggest you wait and follow that thread before going the painful back-to-NoDo route.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] piaqt:
I'm on Mango beta. To install the official release, I'll have to revert to NoDo. I did on a previous phone, and escaped unharmed.

So depending on which arrives first, how do I fully unlock, etc. before installing the official update? I tried previously, but must've done something wrong because it didn't work.

I am following Heathcliff's thread. With reverence, awe and bated breath.

Again, thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] derausgewanderte:
Many believe that if on 7720.68 you will just see firmware and radio updates rolled out to your device and you are all set. We really do not know at this point and might as well throw a coin. There seems to be some evidence that those on 7720.68 won't have to roll back.

If you do have to go back then unlock and stay locked using these guides

This is crazy good. I've been in tears over the limited accent colours, and the multitasking situation.

Two minor bugs I find on my Omnia 7 running 7720. It pops up an error message on launch but still works after. Also, if I change the theme then press the back key, the app duplicates all theme colours and doesn't change background colour (but fixable by reopening the app). By the way, it doesn't have instant resume (but that hardly matters).

Small request

Hi, I got one small feture request:

Would it be possible to add feature to this tool for enabling other languages on Windows phone? By default new languages like Japanese, Russian, Czech, etc... are enabled only on new Mango devices, but they are present even on original WP7 devices after updating to Mango. All what is needed is adding one registry entry per language. See :

http://www.wpcentral.com/add-japanese-and-other-language-packs-mango-beta

For Czech its:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/MUI/Available add new key "0405" with value "Czech"

It works similiar for other languages.

Creating Advanced configuration tool for NoDo with one-click installing registry entries for all new Mango languages, that would be really awesome :) Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Budniu:
This is impossible because device must download and install ROM integrated with language package. Only change/add entry in the registry after update to Mango not work. But you can read and do that: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1216975
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] N3croman:
But that's what I said, when running NoDo I need to add registry entries for other languages... and then after updating to Mango all languages are available. That's standard procedure currently (lot of Czech folks is adding registry entry for Czech language manually when running NoDo to have Czech language available on Mango)

Its been working amazingly on my LG Quantum with 2 exceptions.

When creating a custom accent color, in non-OEM theme matching apps (such as the ACT app itself where you have the donate link or WPCentral) the text color is light blue instead of the custom color. Is this an issue due to the apps not having the color to match?

And also now it won't open. So I'm gonna deploy 1.3 uninstall it, and reinstall 1.4
