[Epic 4G General] Noobed4g?:
I wanted to root my phone and my wife's so that we could use the wifi tether built into the phone. I followed the directions for the OneClick Root and Recovery (worked fantastically, thanks guys!!) And then installed the wifi tether. v3.1beta6 also works great by the way!!

Of course then I did something stupid. When I found that the market didn't work I ran an app called Eris Market Fix that another android site said worked for GalaxyS phones. Now my phone (not dumb enough to test it on the wife's first) will not turn un or boot fully. I get the Samsung Mobile screen and then it goes dark and gives the Force Close single--double vibration and repeats.

Can I fix this or is my phone finished? Once I do, how do I get the market to work on both?
[Epic 4G General] bender beerman:
boot into recovery (hold vol. dwn, camera, power) and restore the nandroid backup u made prior to flashing that market for starters... lemme know if u get that far

edit: next time, questions should go in the q&a section...

Have you tried clearing cache and dalvik cache in clockwork?

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G General] bender beerman:
also, it's impossible to say for sure at this point, but i highly doubt u did anything permanent to your phone. worst case scenario, u may just end up starting over from scratch...

and maybe try what ^ac suggested before restoring your nandroid backup, sometimes clearing cache and dalvik can help a LOT!!! but it also has to be done from inside clockwork mod recovery.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Bricking is when the phone is literally a brick, no power, no lights, no nothing. I prefer Sponged for this condition. As a last resort if you have no backup (shame) and clearing dalvik and cache don't work, do a Factory Data reset and it will delete any third party apps and data. You will need to set your phone back up but if you have been saving your contacts on Google and not your phone you will get them back when you sign in to gmail.
[Epic 4G General] Noobed4g?:
Right. I have no backup that I'm aware of since I only did the three things listed above. I've seen where it says to use adb for stuff like this, but I do not know where or how to access that. When I plug my phone in to the computer via usb though it says adb found.

I know that clockwork and other were installed but where do I find them?

Edit: So clockwork was found through the vol down, power, camera reboot attempt, so now I know where to make a backup from next time. *embarrassed* Haven't messed with computers like this for years.

dalvik and cache wiped. no change.

Wipe and factory reset (with sd card removed) no change.

Samsung Mobile.com

then black screen and single vibrate

pause and (sorry) triple vibrate

repeat ad nauseum.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
Clockwork is your recovery, you access this by 3-finger booting into recovery.

You first turn your phone off wait till its off for sure then you power the phone on by holding the volume down button the camera button, and the power button until the menu shows up.

[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
At this point you will need to Odin your phone back to its original condition. Go into Development sub-forum and at the top in the stickies is a thread called how to fix a semi-bricked Epic. The file links and instructions are in the 1st post. This will wipe everything from your phone and put Android 2.2 back on.

Thanks again! I'm back up and running. Still need to figure out how to make the market work for paid apps after I root again, but I do intend to remove the bloat ware and speed things up.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsjusttim:
I have searched for a while and am wondering if there is a dock and or cable that will allow you to use USB host, access it, and play it through HDMI; while charging?

I can't find a cable that can do this... but what about a dock?

Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3waygeek:
Not possible. The SGS2's connector doesn't allow for simultaneous USB & MHL. When the MHL-to-HDMI adapter is plugged in, the SGS2 detects it (by measuring a specific resistance value across the two data pins) and switches to MHL mode, in which the three available pins are used for audio & video info, and are thus not available for USB data.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindseed:
I have recently (the last 3 days) started experiencing some really strange Twilight Zone type stuff with my phone. It originaly started when my phone suddenly went into "Driving Mode". My phone's screen now switches on for no reason and stays on indefinitely. If I switch the screen off with a quick press off the side power button - the screen then stays off - like it's shutdown. Nothing I press or do can bring it back on again. Requiring me to battery pull - and then the whole process restarts. It's very intermittent and doesn't seem to be related to any particular app.

Once my phone is back on, the battery has dropped considerably (screenshots attached). I've been Running Cognition S2 1.51 for a few months now without any hassles.

The phone initially struggled to connect to any of the Samsung chargers I have - it appears to charge now, but connecting to the PC doesn't initiate the MTP app anymore and only charges. This is my baby and I'm really concerned there's a massive hardware prob. Just not sure how it came about as I didn't do anything different from what I've done in the last few months. Any help would be massively appreciated as I'm now using my old wave and it's just not the same as my SGS2 - like being back in the dark ages.

I've reflashed a nan-backup from before the problem started and it still does the above. Is it my Ram? My CPU?...

Please let me know if there is any other info that may help you- help me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViolentSeizure:
I've started to have the same problem a few days ago too, randomly my phone will enter driving mode and voice recognition keeps coming up randomly too. I have also been getting weird USB messages saying that things are connected when they aren't.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindseed:
Well I cleaned the inside of my phones Micro-USB port with a new dry clean toothbrush (asd mentioned in a forum somewhere) and that seems to have sorted out the non-connecting issues. You may want to try that... Though I'm still having huge problems with the screen turning on by itself and staying on indefinitely - and the phone blacking out shortly after. Give the toothbrush cleaning thang a go - could solve your problem.

[Acer Iconia A500] themathers:
I have changed the status bar icons for a few time, and just want to share it to people who wants to personalize it by themselves but don't know how with their own taste without asking the others to do it for them :)

What you need:

- WinRar

- Gimp 2 - http://www.gimp.org/downloads/

- ADB or something like RootExplorer, I prefer ADB ;)

File to be modified:

SystemUI.apk - you can find it in system/apps/

First, you need to get the SystemUI.apk out of your favorite ROM, I use WinRar, and then you open the apk file also by Winrar. Extract the 'drawable-mdpi' folder in 'res' folder. You will see the icons for back, home, option, etc. in there.

Now, edit the default icon with Gimp 2, open the icon, click Del to remove the image but still keep the template for your new icon. Open the your favorite icon (with Gimp 2 of course), and resize it to the size of the ROM's icon (it's under the Image option), mostly choose Height 48pixel and Width will be set automatically, just remember to look at the size of the default icon. After you resized your favorite icon, just Ctrl + C on your icon and then Ctrl + V on the the template, it will put your new icon to the center of the template. Last step for this is to save it back to the 'drawable-mdpi' folder. I suggest you to use .png icons and save the templates for your future uses :) FYI, you should have a 'pressed' template.

Last, open the SystemUI.apk and "Added files to ..." to the .apk file, add the modified 'drawable-mdpi' folder to the .apk, then you are done with the SystemUI.apk. If you want to have a fresh ROM flash, then just put the modified SystemUI.apk back to the ROM and flash; or you can "adb push" it to your tablet or over-write it, then you restart your tablet to see the change :)

That's it, first time you try it, it's going to take sometimes, but after you have all the templates ready, it's gonna be so quick for you to make any changes.

Let me know if you have any question, I'm no expert in Graphic Designing or Programming but will try to answer your questions ;)

The question was meant to help you realize that you're not going to get any MT4G-relevant answers. Recoveries are able to repartition SD cards for a couple of years now, so even older phone users like myself (N1) had no use for this guide. It's ancient history.

On the other hand, if you're trying to learn how to manually use parted - you don't need to be in a phone forum for that, it's a Linux command, you can grab any manual on the net and be sure that it'll work.

Well an interesting issue that has left me pretty confused.. hope u all can help:

Issue:

SD Card (8GB class 2 probably) is not detected in the ROM. (cant mount coz SDCard unavailable)

BUT

1. The SDCard is detected in CWM, and mountable so i can copy data on it via pc.

2- have tried runnng miui and CM7 but the same results.

3- The SDCard is detectable and partitionable in my SGS2 and HTCDesire, but not the Desire.

4- Both roms on the desire detect a (4GB class 4) and another 8GB (class 4) SDCards that i have.

5- Have tried Repartitioning, formatting on other phones etc.. but no results.

So in short: the issue is with a particular 8GB Sdcard with the HTC Desire ... the card works in other mobiles, but not in the desire. The desire detects other SDCards but not this one ...

Any help will be highly appreciated!!

its a way to set the installation location to the sd card, so the apps standardly be installed on the sd ^^

i try it at my own phone and it works.

For some peoples who knows the adb syntax: ADB has been moved. you must install the platform-tools, there is ADB now =)

Have fun!

#EDIT

If an error appears, fallowed by syntax of adb, try using adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2(

0/auto, 1/internal, 2/external

)

to set back use adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0

If your mobile still install to internal memory, reboot it.

[Desire Themes and Apps] itachi1706:
The reason it says 'application not installed' is because it is supposed to be a system app and hence, is not signed. Thus, to 'install' that app, either create an update.zip yourself and flash via recovery or use a file explorer with the ability to access root folders (eg. root explorer) and copy the apk to /system/app or /data/app (if you do not have space in the system partition) and reboot the phone.
