[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
Then you need to do it again "friend", the answers are there, were they not there then myself and most of the other users here wouldn't know how to tinker with our devices either

So bottom line, search some more, read some more, as you can see, no one is willing to spoon feed you the answers that are out there in 100s of other posts and threads
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
He's just like another noob I dealt with recently. He wanted to upgrade his Streak from 2.2 to 2.2.2. So, like a good egg I provide him the link to the sticky and mention to him to use the search engine next time. The response was essentially this:

"why is this section here if all you're going to tell me is to google stuff?"

Then as a follow up, the noob comments that he's looking for a "professional's answer". After I got a laugh out of that last one and explaining to him exactly how things work around here, he tries to apologize for "hurting" me and finishes up with this gem:

"I want to update my Dell and nothing more. If you can help me or want to help me then give me the right links." (emphasis mine)

While my reply was rather civil in that I told him if he wanted one on one tech support I charge for it, what annoyed me almost as much as his original reply to my posting the sticky was him begging for "the right links". Begging for the right links isn't going to change the fact the links are in the sticky! It's no wonder that developers are leaving this site in droves when they see drivel like what is in this thread from people who don't want to take the time and energy to learn about their damn devices so they can actually do the work themselves!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
Yeah I remember reading through that, I LMAO at that one... and you are right, devs are leaving XDA in droves, not just from the Streak but from all the device threads because the moderators are more concerned with the language we use to address the noobies than doing THEIR job as moderators and keeping the newbies in line, we the experienced users don't need any moderation, it's the noobs that need the guidance and should be repremanded for posting NEW threads about worn out subjects...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janarioo:
Sorry guyz My Bad
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Even I occasionally make boneheaded posts, such as asking what the Dell Settings Provider.apk actually does and whether I actually needed it. No one answered the thread, I believe because it was thought to be an obvious question that didn't need an answer. So I experimented and deleted the file. I didn't have any issues, which is a good thing. I did however search before I made the post and did not find anything either.

We did not have the benefit of the sticky nor The Manii's list of safe to remove apps to make it easier on the noobs. There is nothing wrong with noobs asking questions, but you know full well that we're getting too many noobs lately running to the site for help after doing something wrong instead of searching for the answer before posting. That kind of BS needs to stop.

To the OP: keep asking questions, but make sure you use the XDA-Developers search engine instead of Google to find things before you post. It works better.
[Intercept General] bhbs203:
When you connect a VM intercept into PC how do get it into modem mode? What ## code do I use? Ex: moment = ##8778# and the epic is ##8778# I've tried it but it did not work... I'm looking to back up my NV items and I have cdma workshop 3.7 any help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance
[Intercept General] steelio:
Curious about this as well. On the Epic you do this to get it into modem mode and then you can read it.

This intercept the best I can do is get it with the drivers where I can just see it as a modem and not actually read the phone itself.
[Intercept General] alexanderkr1:
Hey guys..

I was having some trouble with this too.

Here is the solution:

1. (If you already have your MSL/SPC, skip this step)

You have to have your MSL/SPC 6 digit code. This is not easy to come by since you can't connect your Intercept as a modem to read it with Cdma Workshop or QPST. You could call VM and ask, but I doubt they'll give it to you.

However there is a workaround:

Download this APK:

http://www.mediafire.com/?jjjynwp2y65ephj

It's a little app called ConnectBot. Once installed, in the lower left hand corner, where it says SSH, change that to "Local".. Then put anything in the text box you want.

When the command prompt comes up, type the command "getprop ril.MSL" and hit enter.

This should give you your MSL/SPC 6 digit code!

2. Dial ##PORT#, enter your MSL/SPC, and make sure both options are set to "modem" and not "pda"

3. You are gonna need additional drivers to access the phone as a modem. On Windows 7, it tries to install, then prompts you to download "Samsung PC Studio 3"

DO NOT INSTALL The one it suggests! Instead install this one:

http://www.mediafire.com/?k7pxzu3uc03nepn

This program will install the drivers you need.

Any questions just ask,

Kev
[Intercept General] penguinrepair:
you will need to have you msl to get there...

##port# to change the port from modem to pda doesn't work with some hacked flashes

or ##7678# also ##data# to get to the dangerous data screen on sprint ##debug# still works too

[Nook Color General] fealuin:
I have a Nook Color with B&N sw v1.3 and ManualNooter 4.6.16.

I just open Market and get a "No matching content in Android Market"...

I reapply MN4.5.18, FlashPlayer_Fix, MN4.6.16 and Market fix procedure and Market still shows the same text...

Something rare: In Market app I tap "Apps" and shows some apps, I tap "Games" and shows some games, but I tap "My apps" and shows "No matching content in Android Market"

Another thing rare: I run AppBrain, tap "Manage And Sync" and shows the complete list of apps installed, including a list of update pending apps, but when i tap "Update (in Market)" get the same "No matching content in Android Market" from Market...

I think (I don't know why) Market app thinks is running in another device different to Nook Color and can't syncronize with the apps installed in the device

Anyone have a idea what's happening or how can I fix this???
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
clear market data... that should also clear cache.
[Nook Color General] fealuin:
Clear market data don't fix...

Nope... I did the Market Fix procedure:

I did it tree times... no changes
[Nook Color General] patruns:
Either download LCD Density changer and reset from 161 to 160 and choose the option to save on boot. Also clear the market data and try again.

Or....

Use Titanium backup to uninstall the marker updater app, then go to manage applications/market and uninstall the update. Clear data. Try now or reboot first.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bombadier:
If your phone will not boot and with no backup then you could try re-flashing your ROM from recovery,wipe the cache and dalvik then re-flash your ROM,if that works then reboot into recovery and do a backup, that way if you break things again then you can restore the phone to a working state.

Sorry what do you mean by freezes?Talk me through it,From bootloader you scroll down and select recovery,then you go to factory reset,what happens?

The bootloader/recovery is independent of the ROM so if you broke your ROM by trying to install the ICS Launcher it can't affect bootloader/recovery,how did you try and install the launcher,be specific please.

Hi all,

unless i over look or type in the search incorrectly, how do i flash GB Bootloader? and where can i get it? Do i just flash [ROM] I997UCKJ2 [14.10.2011][Android 2.3.6] and my bootloader will be GB bootloader?

when flashing w/Odin3 v1.70: Do i need to check "phone bootloader update" and use PDA for I997UCKJ2-Homebinary.tar.md5?

Do i need to check "re-partition"

thx
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TOA Duck:
I would advise against flashing bootloaders, unless you know what you are doing. Risking a hard brick.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
More simpler way would be flashing Infused 1.6, and then flashing 2.2.3. This will take away the hazzle of loading bootloaders.

Just to confirm, is this basically the idea?

1. Unlock Bootloader: fastboot oem unlock

2. Flash CWM Image: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

3. Flash Superuser: Boot into CWM and choose Superuser.zip

And that's it?

Let's hope that holds.

So far, though, I am a pretty big Samsung fan. Super Amoled, easy to root, generally good hardware. Not too crazy on Touchwiz, but a non-issue with this phone.

I hate how people complain endlessly about the build quality. I have seen HTC and Apple phones, which are praised for their excellent build quality fall apart (or in the case of the iPhone 4, get screen cracks). Someone I know works in a store that repairs broken glass screens for phones. Apparently, about 90% of of his phones are iPhone.:D

Getting back on topic, if the past is any indication, getting root should be a simple affair.

Sounds good. Going to be a pain waiting for the device now. LOL

Noobish question since I didn't own a Nexus before:

Well the Nexus S still had the Samsung download mode, so it's quite possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luffyp:
Since Galaxy Nexus will come without SD card, I'm curious how does factory reset work? I mean, does it delete everything on the phone including your Nandroid backups? Or does it have a separate partition that is protected from factory reset procedure?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kidserious:
Wait, what? It's my understanding that the nexus s doesn't use Odin/heimdall.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jkoljo:
It will only format /data, /cache and similar partitions where the settings, the user's own apps and temporary content is stored.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kidserious:
It *should* only wipe data, datadata and cache if it holds normal. I have a galaxy tab 10.1 with no SD card. And when I do a full wipe and factory reset, it doesn't wipe my nandroids or my titanium backups. It treats part of the internal storage as an SD card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slowz3r:
if its anything like the NS it wont get rid of anything stored on the "SD" card

What do you mean? It's genius! It allows them to rake in lots of cash on repairs. ;)

You get to it by powering off the phone and holding both volume buttons, or with a USB jig.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Super Chimp:
The iPhone is better built than the majority of Droids. I use an iPad along with a Droid & despair at the build quality of some Droid devices, lets not even mention the build materials or bland designs of some of them. Moto & SE are about the only ones who seems to bother differentiate the design of their devices & build materials. Samsung are the masters of identikit design & the plastic build. Not so bothersome on the Nexus but more so on their other devices.

I've tried to flash 2 SPF's. It was rooted recently, and had the latest updates. Everything was fine untill I did the soft reset.

What is causing it to keep returning to the boot loader screen?

Also, when I try to flash it via RSD Lite i keep getting Error switching to pass through, or something simular to that.

[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
There was an OTA recently by Verizon/Motorola released which breaks the ability to SBF to an older software release (they simply updated the boot loader and the new one does not accept older releases).

Unfortunately the cure of this would be a new SBF to be leaked with software release same or newer than the one from the past week OTA. Until then you're stuck with soft-bricked phones.
