[HTC Desire S] oLf06:
woah... that worked... cant believe ....

now i am in 4 ext after flashing the hboot you gave me and entered " fastboot boot "

thx ...

now i see my partitions:

system,data and cache are ext3 , the capacity is (null) and in the free column there is : " iß "
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Nice! That means that your fastboot is working now!

try formatting system, data and cache from the recovery to see is it able to fix them
[HTC Desire S] oLf06:
first that little time of happiness and now that...

everytime i choose an option in the booted 4extrecovery my phone seems to restart and stucks at white htc screen ...

edit : my fastboot does not seem to work... flashing the recovery is still not working...
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
damn

can you try to overwrite the hboot from the recovery with 0.98.2000
[HTC Desire S] oLf06:
what you mean with that ?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Download this and copy to sdcard

fastboot boot recovery.img
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
reboot-bootloader

check the version of the bootloader

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ----------

If the above is now working check the size of backup.img on your SDcard - is it 0 again...if yes flash 6.98.1002 again. If no restore it by

adb shell
dd if=/sdcard/backup.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

Alternatively you can flash the recovery this way:

adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 of=/sdcard/backuprecovery.img
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21
reboot-bootloader
[HTC Desire S] oLf06:

reboot bootloader

now my phone is .. black .. and stays .. black .. ?

battery is not loading either ....
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
ok if we managed to get rid of alpharev hboot start the O2 RUU

if the phone cannot be detected by the PC, remove the battery, wait about 30 seconds, reinsert and try again
[HTC Desire S] oLf06:
O2 RUU does not detect my phone ( the battery light isnt even blinking or anything else ) ..... did i just completely ****ed up my phone ?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Probably yes. But at the very beginning you option was the repair center. We tried more than possible to restore it with the software options that we had. There was a chance to have it working, but in general it was already ****ed. And most of the users here is such situation brought the device for a replacement without even a try to fix it and this was the only solution in this forum. Most of them did not get their warranty because of the custom bootloader that they had (6.98.1002). In your case you can claim a faulty motherboard and get your warranty (if you have one), because the bootloader is gone. It is up to you to decide is this positive or not.
[HTC Desire S] oLf06:
this feels... like ****.....

so you think i can go to my o2 store... and tell them what ? " my phone suddenly freezed and stayed black " ?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
exactly. You have plenty of stories across the forum:

updating several apps at a time from the Market

phone froze during sync

freeze at bootloop on reboot, then removed battery

failed after installing updates from the Market

There are more but here you have enough explanations. Some of this people had to pay the repair because they had still the custom hboot. This is not your case anymore, so you can state each reason of the above and your replacemend should be under warranty.
[HTC Desire S] psycho-ned:
Hi Guys,

i want to pick up this thread again, because i have exactly the same issues as oLf06, except that i can mount /data.

So my hope is, that i can flash via adb the data.img that Tectas provided at rapidshare earlier (post #40), but unfortunately it's not available anymore!

Tectas, could you please reupload it anywhere or anybody else can do?

Thank you in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seeraj15:
I'm on stock jvs and the browser I'd really laggy when scrolling on some websites. it takes ages to respond. How do I fix it? I've tried stock browser and dolphin
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Talon26:
Have you tried wiping the cache and history... I've found formatting the internal sd after a while helps, obviously you will loose everything on it, but just back up what you need..

If that dont work try some of the tweaks in the stickes
[Galaxy S I9000 General] upichie:
What ROM are you using?

I really enjoy the layout of Opera Mobile, and I find it to have absolutely no lag whatsoever; even while pages are loading, I can freely scroll around as I please. Granted, I'm using CM7 and have a highly tweaked phone. In general, my phone doesn't really lag at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] radeon_x:
What websites?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bhu1:
The truth is that every browser lags once a while, we cant help it. Dolphin hd is the best browser without a doubt but it also lags a bit sometimes.

hit thankxx if i helped. sent from my mind through telepathy (ya its possible)!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ramas123:
Browser is laggy when your page is loading, try to wait when it is loaded at full, also when browser loading it is killing apps in background deppending on your page size. Also it is normal that browser laggs with "heavy" pages, there you can do nothing, it will lagg with every browser in this situation.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seeraj15:
Websites such as sky sports and fantasy premier league take ages to respond when I'm trying to scroll.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bhu1:
Well you can do one thing, use dolphin browser hd its the best and it has kill ad in which can be downloaded from market and then on the side bar of dolphin browser their is a 1 click option to kill background apps which browsing faster.

hit thankxx if i helped. sent from my mind through telepathy (ya its possible)!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RobjeDank:
No problems with semaphore kern
[Galaxy S I9000 General] upichie:
Both sites work perfectly fine on my phone. I have the complete ability to scroll, zoom in, etc. while the site is loading. No lag whatsoever.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] radeon_x:
Pretty much true.

The only exception, and I've seen this on other sites, are the pages that have large rotating images (JavaScript, not Flash) that fade in and out.

Those pages sometimes experience slowdowns... other than that, both sites are completely smooth for me. (Odexed JVR)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] disclaimernotice:
Perhaps your rom is deodexed. Most deodexed browsers lag. Try using dolphinn browser or opera mobile. Opera isn't as good as dolphin, but it allows you to download from sites like filesonic.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] westcoastricho:
mate i've been over different roms, and different kernels, overclocking etc. There's just some pages where it has always lagged for me. Most seem to be ok, but some are just impossible.. Usually use stock browser, have tried others but for some sites dont think it really matters, it's going to lag either way.

There's an australian footy site over here which has a bit of flash content etc and it takes ages to load even on wifi and can lag bigtime at times. Would be extremely impressed (and jealous) if anyone doesn't have lag on their phones on it.

www.afl.com.au
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
Yeah some pages the phone with stock browser (or dolphin hd) just can't handle smoothly. Too much going on, need more power like in the SGS2 to really handle it (opera might be better than stock or dolphin hd but I didn't like the interface when I tried it). IIRC the SGS2 has enough juice to play embedded 720p flash video, where 320p is a stretch for the SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] upichie:
Definitely a lot going on at that page. It probably took a solid 10 seconds to fully load it on Wifi, haha. Surprisingly, there were a couple hiccups while it was loading on my phone—but only three very minor hesitations in scrolling in the entire 10 seconds of load time.

Sounds like you guys just need to tweak your phones a little. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ccrows:
With my SGS I get lag in the stock browser, where my Atrix is fine (which I'm guessing has to do with the extra ram).

For any sites on my SGS that lag, (which does include XDA at times) I try to go Opera Mobile whenever possible and that usually is enough for me... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fungun1234:
The browser lags on aforementioned websites. I also experience lag on phonearena.com, pocketnow.com and rebtel.com. This might be related to the ram problem.

The sites don't lag on my zte blade which has 512 MB too. But maybe that has more free ram.

Wonder if galaxy S plus suffers from the same problem. Anyone have experience with SGS Plus or have heard anything about this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] westcoastricho:
yeh it's a heavy site, thought there would of been some problems. but seems yours performed still a bit better than mine. hopefully will get it worked out sometime.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kaynpayn:
Nothing wrong with your phones dudes, more that enough firepower to browse smoothly.

Just poorly optimized coding imo. To prove this you need to try Opera Mobile.

Same phone, same websites, different browser, NO LAG WHATSOEVER.

- no lag scrolling even while loading

- no lag zooming even while loading

- no lag whatsoever anywhere including that site www.afl.com.au (it just takes a while to load cos its huge, but no lag still)

- flash works great (this MAY lag a bit but that's flash for you on this phone, not opera's fault)

Doesn't matter what android version/kernel you're running either. I tried almost every rom/kernel combo out there (2.2.x, 2.3.x, custom, stock, semaphore, darky, talon, etc), makes no difference for this, really.

That said, other developers need to work better on their software. Opera has just proven it's perfectly possible to browse lag-free and it's not the hardware that's lacking. Although, to be fair, i'm not sure what more could i ask from a browser that opera doesn't provide already.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
Interesting one of the sites that lagged really bad in dolphin hd, canadacomputers.com, was much smoother in the stock browser. Odd I though they were pretty the same, although I do notice that stock browser does the white/grey checkerboard thing (also the thing where zooming in blurs until it 're-renders') while dolphin does not. I hate how 'tabs' work in the stock browser though, maybe I'll give opera another shot.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
Wow I had no idea how slow dolphin had gotten compared to the stock browser, it's night and day. Also figured out something, my main annoyance with stock was switching windows but if you zoom out hard on a page it brings up the window selection screen. Makes it a bit quicker to use. Any other tips/gestures for stock browser out there?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] are609:
+1 Dolphin HD. Stock browser on CM7 is not hardware accelerated and lags.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kaynpayn:
Just opened Canadacomputers.com on opera mobile with that flash banner on top on opera. Not a single lag was felt, ever (tried zooming and scrolling while loading too).

Running android 2.2.1 on an SGS with darky kernel.

Sent from Samsung Galaxy S.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dadyal:
websites are made while desktop hardware in mind so don't expect too much from mobile browser
[Galaxy S I9000 General] upichie:
I expect the absolute best, regardless of this. :)

It's really not that hard to get minimal lag while browsing. I found that to be a major nuisance when I first got my phone. Fluid browsing is a must.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yani2000:
Sorry to hijack this thread but it's something I discovered and don't want to make another thread on this sub-forum.

I was using deodexed XXJVQ and of course the stock browser lagged like hell, even Dolphin Browser HD lagged like hell. Now I'm using odexed XWJW1 and have a systemwide adblock (apps + internet). The thing was now the stock browser is working super smooth but Dolphin wasn't! The main culprit was a plugin named "Adblock Plus 1.2" (guess it wanted to block an already blocked ad).

I used Dolphin and backed up my settings to SD, cleared chache and data, uninstalled that plugin and restored my settings.

Everything works super smooth now.

So, if Dolphin lags (abnormal high CPU usage) check your plugins!

Hope I helped!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poch_1421:
i'm not really sure what happened. yesterday my phone can detect my mem card.

but a while ago, when i connected my s2 to the computer, it can only detect the phone memory. i tried looking at the storage option, and again, it can't detect the mem card. i tried copying a file into the mem card thru a third party file explorer, and it copied it successfully (although the phone still can't detect it).

i tried connecting the mem card to the computer using a mem card reader, and it detected it.

any thoughts?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Your sayings it won't mount in "storage" settings? Ie continually greyed out?

1. Trying backing up your data to pc (use card reader or mount the sdcard while your in CWM Recovery.

2. FULL format (not quick) FAT32 default allocation.

3. Replace card and try first before moving saved data back.

Edit: also make sure its inserted correctly (actually remove battery to check)

Also try another card that is formatted same as above.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poch_1421:
i figured it out. i was using siyah kernel 1.7.7 when the problem ensued. i flashed back to a previous version i remembered was working fine. it's solved now.

+1 to you for helping :) thanks!

I would attempt a reformat again, ensure its the correct format. use a pc ;) not mac ha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Inspired by supercurio's move away from tarballs at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1054738 and my own successes with the Infuse community at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1185796 (man I need to update that thread...), I've put up the Samsung tarball on github for your forking pleasure.

github is a vastly superior way to manage kernel sources than putting up source tarballs of kernel releases.

Right now the source tree is a raw unmodified import of the Samsung Open Source Center's tarball. Chances are likely it needs some cleanup to get into a good buildable state, just like the Infuse source drops did.

Rather than importing a cleaned up tarball, I believe it's best to do a straight import, so the cleanup process is documented in git commits.

The repo is located at: https://github.com/Entropy512/linux_kernel_sgh-i777

A repo for the initramfs based on the stock initramfs dump is at https://github.com/Entropy512/initramfs_sgh-i777

I may be getting a GS2 tomorrow - it depends on if my local AT&T store is willing to give me any sort of deal via my corporate discount (probably not) and on the return policy. I'm really borderline as to whether the GSII is worth $549 to come from the Infuse.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrRobinson:
yes it is. 21 hsdpa+ and dual core should be worth it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Infuse has the high speed HSPA too. GS2 has smaller screen and a worse headphone amp, which offsets the benefit of dual core. Even a 1.2 GHz single core is pretty snappy. Google Wallet support is going to be the make or break for me. Unfortunately it's sounding like AT&T will break it to do their own thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
Here we go again...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kletiz:
1GB > 512MB

2 cores > 1 core

Those are the two selling points for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
Actually the Infuse has 640MB, which is enough, but yeah, the dual core A9 and TouchWiz 4 are nice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
The answer would be clear if it were a choice between the two devices on contract subsidy.

However, it's "Is it enough of a step up from the Infuse to justify $549" - For me, not unless Google Wallet support is there (I have a Citi PayPass-enabled card, so the only thing I'm missing is the phone side of GW support). However with AT&T backing Isis this seems like it may not happen.

This is getting offtopic though... We should take the discussion of whether it's enough of a step up to General.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Successfully dumped the stock zImage, which means stock initramfs.

Now to get my kernel tree cleaned up and buildable, then to integrate clockworkmod from codeworkx's template.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I botched the kernel repo name. It should have been linux_kernel_sgh-i777, but was inux_kernel_sgh-i777. This has been fixed but if you cloned it, your remotes are probably screwed up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Updates - kernel:

Cleaned up cruft from Samsung's tarball and set up .gitignores

Added easy-build script

Minor defconfig changes, mostly to support easy-build and also to generate smaller kernels

Integrate codeworkx's cpuidle fix patch (Assume this is valid for the GSII as it's in generic kernel code)

Updates - initramfs:

Attempt to integrate clockworkmod from codeworkx's template. (Tested - works as long as you use Home/Back instead of Power for selections)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] codeworkx:

Ramdisk is now based on UCKH7, which i've extracted from your stock kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Thanks, I'll work on merging in those changes. I may transition to using a fork of your initramfs for my kernel builds.

Before instaling Cyanogenmod on my wife phone, she had a diferent dialer. I had stock dialer from some stock rom, insaled from samfirmware.

I wonder how can i replace my dialer with the old one?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lazerax:
I read through the MIUI thread and seemingly a lot of people are having this issue. I'd have posted there, but I'm too new to XDA (can't yet post in dev forums). n_i_x said there was a fix for it back in July, but it's clearly still an issue. Is it possible that it's just with the most recent update, and the last one had working stereo audio? Is there a specific one I should flash that had working stereo?

Any info on this would be really helpful, as I use the headphone jack on my phone to run, work out, and when I drive (so, at least a few times a day).

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
have you tried a different kernel like tiamat or the jdkernel?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lazerax:
Went with the newest Tiamat and it cleared the issue. You're the man. Thanks!

[Acer Iconia A500] john_mathews:
Desperately need help. I bricked my acer while trying to install itsmagic.

Now I get yellow Asterix with Droid image in recovery mode.

I downloaded multiple update.zip files from various threads and used "apply: sdcard:update.zip" from android system recovery utility.

I always get "E: can't open /sdcard/update.zip"

me being stupid did not note down the Image I had on it before bricking it.

Is there a way to unbrick?
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
i do not think your tablet is bricked.go to thores full roms thread in dev. Download the correct rom for your area.put your SD card in a android phone format it put the file on your SD card put back in tablet and flash it.

If you did all of this and have a 3.2 rom on your device the above will likely not work.

Good luck
[Acer Iconia A500] john_mathews:
Thank you for the reply

I downloaded one of the full images, renamed them as update.zip and tried to apply from Android System Recovery Utility.

I get the same messages I got earlier

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip

(No such file or directory)

Installation aborted.

I erase all data using my nexus one and then in disc mode I copy the update.zip.

I bought this in US. Could you please suggest me an image I could try?
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Try a different SD card. The smaller the better;)
[Acer Iconia A500] enotar:

All credit goes to Nitroglycerine33, so if you like this, throw him a couple bones. He modified some files to make it work with the X2. I just extracted it from his Eclipse v7 ROM for the X2 and brought it here.

This will greatly increase your shutter speed and make your camera experience much better overall. I found the stock Bionic camera app to be garbage and was sick of waiting 15 seconds for it to focus.

I recommend using this with Gallery 3D. You can still view pics using the Blur gallery, but you won't have any options to share.

DIRECTIONS:

1) Using Root Explorer (or similar program) go to system/app and find blurcamera.apk. Mount system as R/W and rename app. I just added a .bak to the end so I could revert back if I wanted to.

***UPDATE--This is optional. Both cameras get separate icons (my reason for writing the original post as so) and now you can use stock for the FFC. Either way, Nitro said he'll get an update out soon. Maybe if you like this, you can find the thread here about getting him a Bionic. The man makes some stellar ROMs.

2) Download the attached .apk and move to system/app. Change permissions to:

XXO

XOO

XOO

3) Download Gallery 3D (if you wish) - Market link: Gallery 3D

4) Reboot and enjoy!

***You will lose your front facing camera option. I'm going to work on getting that fixed. Until then there is no known workaround.

Again, this is all Nitroglycerine33, so give him credit.

And of course, thank the MIUI team.
