I'm totally new to the whole rooting thing. I successfully installed CWM on my phone a few months ago, wasn't quite ready to make the leap to flashing a rom...until about a week ago. I flashed the latest syndicate frozen rom with twilight kernal. Everything was working fine, except today I tried the wifi tether app that came preloaded. Would not work with my laptop, so I tried a few other old apks, it worked then the laptop shut down. Not sure why. Then my phone started force closing all over the place, everything i tried to do. Quickly tried a reboot, everything on my launcher was gone, back to the original. Tried booting into cwm, wipe all the things to wipe (LOL), wouldn't even boot, just kept going back to the ACS logo. Decided to try ODIN3. Followed the steps on here to a T. Downloaded the EC05 tar, and checked all 3 boxes (because that's what the instructions said to do), re-partition, auto-reboot, and f reset time. Hit start, I took about 10 seconds, said success 1/failed 0 and phone shut down. I put battery back in...NOTHING. It does nothing. Dead. How screwed am I?

Edit: Even when I plug the phone into the charger it doesn't light up. It did have a low battery when I started, thought I could make it through. :(
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender beerman:
well, i'll try and help... unplug your phone, pull the battery. push the power button a few times, then put the battery back in and try charging again. if it doesn't make it that far, then i can't help u. if it does, post back here and we'll go from there.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epicfailure53:
Ok, I did that, plugged it back in and the charge light still doesn't come on but the screen is actually on...it's just black.

This is what odin log looked like if that helps any.

<ID:0/005> Initialzation..

You bricked it. You didn't have to do odin... could have just reflashed the rom. You can try odin even though it doesn't show the download mode, just do the 1+power. Only check auto reboot this time.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamchocho:
You may not be screwed just yet. I had this type of thing happen with odin before on my buddies phone (twice actually).

Try this:

Pull the battery out of the phone and wait a few min. Start odin, then with the battery out of the phone plug the usb in to the phone and pc, hold 1 and hit power. If your lucky the phone will go into download mode with out battery in. Once your in dowload mode feel free to pop the battery in (without unplugging) and redo your odin flash.

Good luck

I tried reflashing or at least that's what I thought I was doing from sd card and it said there was nothing available...that's when I thought I'd just start over.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epicfailure53:
The PC doesn't even recognize the phone but I'll try again. The battery's been out for a few minutes. What I don't get is wasn't odin done? Does it really take 10 seconds?? I think I must have unplugged it prematurely even though the phone shut off ... Okay, just tried and it will not go into download, nothing happens at all when I connect to pc.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender beerman:
oops, hit thanks instead of quote... try again to unplug it and pull the battery, push the power button a few times. wait a few more minutes. then put the battery back in and try to charge it for a little bit before u do anything else. don't try anything again with a dead battery. ALWAYS make sure u have a full battery before flashing anything or this kind of stuff can happen.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
It won't reboot without the battery. If you Odin'd successfully without the battery and your battery has a decent charge on it, after it completes you should be able to unplug it and pop the battery in and hit the power button and it will start. As a precaution do not unplug it until after the RESET is on Odin and wait a few seconds to be sure.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epicfailure53:
It won't even recognize the charge is plugged it, no light, no nothing. Do you think swapping out a fully charged battery might do something?

That was the problem, I must have unplugged prematurely. I was reading the instructions and saw the phone shut off so I assumed it was trying to reboot but couldn't without the battery so I unplugged it. I can't get back to Odin, the pc doesn't recognize the phone, it doesn't go into download mode, won't even charge the battery.

Heading to sprint in the morning. Appreciate your help guys. Let see what they'll do without insurance! :0
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
I heard popping the battery in and out while holding the 1 and power key will sometimes jump start it into download mode.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epicfailure53:
KENNYGLASS123 you rock! Holding 1 and power with a battery pulled put it in download mode. I'm so geeked right now! So, I'm using odin to go back to EC05 but my question is this. The first time I tried to odin i selected 3 checkboxes...re-partition, auto-reboot, and f reset time. This time I just selected the auto reboot. Is that correct?

Now that odin is finished and it appears as though my phone is back to normal...can I just unplug it, or should I power it off, now I'm scared! lol
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocket321:
Odin takes longer than 10 sec btw....usually more like 2-4 minutes.

Edit: W00t! It looks like you got it going, congrats :)

If the phone rebooted and came on ok you are fine to disconnect from Odin.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epicfailure53:
Yes it's on. I figure I'll just leave it plugged in a bit to charge since it was REALLY low. Now the magic question is, do I try syndicate frozen again? Is twilight the best kernal to flash? The biggest reason for me to root is because I really want to be able to wireless tether. I think the problem was my Dell laptops Intel adapter. I did however update the drivers and had it working, albeit once, before everything went downhill.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Awesome! Glad to help. Yes once the phone starts rebooting it is safe to remove. Happy rooting!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamchocho:
This is what I was trying to say in my first post, sorry if I wasn't clear on that. I've seen multiple times on a friends epic, but never mine where something goes wrong and you can't get into download mode (1 and power) with the battery in, but with no battery and only usb from pc to power it you can get into download mode and odin just fine.

Few tips to keep in mind when using odin.

1) Always make sure your battery is fully charged, odin can drain it quick if its low and seemingly cause this type of behavior. Oddly(luckily?) it seems to flash fine without the battery in.

2) if odin gives you problems on the stock usb cable from samsung find a different one. Or to be safe just use a different one than sammys stock charge cable to begin with.

Epic4g on cm7 thanks to Deca and I'm never going back.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
Thank you for mentioning the charged battery. Odin gives me fits whenever my battery is 60% or less
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King350z:
Good day all, I recently got a Nexus S for free from my brother becuase it keep's restarting its self. The phone was rooted with Cyanogen rom, and from what he told me has been dropped a couple of times. With this all being said, he went ahead and flashed a fresh rom on there (unk which one) and wiped everything etc.. Anyone exp this type of problem before and if so what can be done to fix it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YourMainDude:
Lol I think you over clocked it on the minimum ... try the minimum at 800m ... or if anything flash a new rom.. its probably the rom itself

Sent From In between Your Moms Boobies
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icecoldmeat:
Try another (stable) rom? (no development rom)

Wipe everything.

And yes, probably its underclocked/overclocked too high.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King350z:
I would like to flash a rom but once I turn it on it keeps force closing everything and I am unable to do anything on the phone, It boots into recovery mode just fine though
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
Good news, you flash your ROM from recovery. Download the package, boot into recovery. Mount the SD card and push or push using adb push. Flash the zip from CWM.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3mar84:
my friend purchased the phone yesterday and he is on the latest Official version (2.3.6) and the phone keeps rebooting!!!

is this normal?? there must a problem!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Wipe data/factory reset from recovery if it's a used phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HoneyNutz:
If he just bought it return it... thats easy

If he rooted it and changed the rom -- put it back to stock or put a new rom on it

I personally found that most of my restarts were due to me trying to pull the stock launcher into an unfamiliar rom. Make sure (if you are using Titanium backup) to only load apps not system *unless you are trying to go back to the same rom*

good luck
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockem:
First check if he overclocked too much or underclocked too much. Put it to normal.

Alternatively you can just flash another rom. Before flashing remember to wipe everything;)

Goodluck!:D
[HTC EVO 3D] arkcain:
I know it seems like such a noob question, but I am a noob to the EVO 3D and I have tried a couple times to download and install a couple themes and cannot figure out what to do. I have installed a couple themes via the .apk but there are a couple that have icons and other things that I want. Can anyone coach me on how to do this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] diante1366:
The Theme will only change the colors of anything that is stock HTC. Some of the screenshots you see for the themes on here also have root which allows you to download what is called a ROM that allows you to change all of the settings such as the notification bar at the top and settings along those lines.

What icons are you talking about?
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
This is for the twrp recovery. I don't use cwm.

First make sure the theme is compatible with your rom. Second download the theme and place it on your sd and remember what folder its in. If you don't move it the theme should be located in sdcard\download folder. Next power your phone down. Then boot into recovery. Then make a nand backup of your rom incase something gets screwed up. Or if you have a good nand already made then skip that step but I highly recommend it. Next in twrp choose the "wipe" selection, then wipe cache and davlik cache. Then go back to the main menu. Then choose the "install zip" selection. Then using the volume rocker scroll down to your \download folder. Once you have it highlighted press the top power button to access the folder. Then find the zip you download "the theme" and highlight it, then press power to flash the zip. When done go back to the main menu and choose reboot system. You should boot up and see your new theme applied. Hope this helps. Take in mind you have to be rooted and running a custom rom or have the stock rom rooted. Keep in mind what version of sense your running as well because 2.3.3 themes won't work on 2.3.4 roms and vice versa, the same goes for add on's as well.

Pm me or reply here if you run into any obstacles trying to flash a theme. Good luck.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabtug:
Hi all,

I have spent a good part of 7-8 hours traversing these forums reading about the S2, but if somebody could give me confirmation/clarity for peace of mind before I start to play around with it - it would be greatly appreciated!

1) How does one install fonts onto the S2 that are not native (e.g. Arabic/Hebrew, etc.)? -> is it as simple as transferring them to a specific folder, or is it nested in the kernel or a 'base rom' layer of the phone? (I ask because I know CM7 has those languages support but I don't necessarily want to use CM7).

2) Is there anyway of restoring a CWM image file by 'pushing' it to the phone via a cable? e.g. if I broke my phone installing custom roms or a bad kernel and it doesn't want to even launch into CWM (is that even possible as is on separate partition?), can I somehow connect it to the PC and push my CWM image back to the phone to completely restore it?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightnz:
You can install your own fonts, but it has to be done at shell level, there's no "Add font" option anywhere.

There's no remote-push for CWM. It would be very useful if someone could get CWM to generate Odin-friendly images but as far as I'm aware no one has done it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabtug:
Thanks for that!

Is it actually possible to use Odin to generate a full backup image? This is the first I have heard of it - would you be able to provide a link (couldn't find one myself).

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
To make a kind of "full backup", you need to root your phone.

I used the corresponding CF-Root kernel for my stock ROM.

Then you can easily use the backup feature of CWM Manager, which is included in CF-Root kernel.

To recover such a backup, you have to use CWM (or CWM Manager app) again.

If your phone is "broken" and CWM does not work any more, you first have to "repair" it => do an emergency recovery with KIES or flash a ROM via Odin (if download mode is still working).

Then root your phone to get CWM (or CWM Manager app) again, and recover the system from your previously created backup.

That's the theory ... fortunately I never had to recover my system that way ... yet.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabtug:
Thanks to both of you! - now time to play around!

[Vega General] zel69:
Hi, not a newbie (well almost). Had my Vega a while now, upgraded to Modaco r8 as soon as I got it and its been fine. But for the last week, when web browsing, if I don't click a link or otherwise use the connection for about 3 to 5 minutes, it won't connect through and says web page not available, even though the wifi icon at the top of the screen is there and on the wifi settings page it says I am connected. If I untick the "turn on wifi" and retick it the connection re-establishes.Have searched various things but can't anybody with the same problem. Anybody any ideas or solutions.Thanks in advance.
[Vega General] O_G:
Hi there.

R8 is based from old firmware now (v1.08 i believe), if i remember correctly a stock firmware update did improve wifi. Not saying it should not be working, just might be time to consider upgrading your firmware to a newer base. I have not used froyo for a while now. Bar a few niggles, vegacomb is best. Honeycomb is just far better for tabs.

Sorry i could not help further.
[Vega General] zel69:
Thanks for the reply ganjaman, if I flashed the modded stock rom, could I still use r8, as it all works (except the wireless, but as I said thats a recent thing). As from what I have read there are a few bugs with vegacomb still, so would want to wait till its virtually bug free

With a little bit of research, I've found the answer, yes I can. But if anyone knows of a different solution, please feel free to chime in!
[Vega General] O_G:
No you cant. R8 is a full rom and will replace the modded stock files. If you want to stick with froyo, either use corvus sp1 rom or stock (from the advent website) with my add-on (link in my sig)

Last time i tried my add-on with the modded stock v1 it did not work. Not tried v2 thought.

I use vegacomb on a daily basis, and its fantastic. Your choice...

Good luck.

Here in XDA we do not encourage [BOUNTY] due past horrid experiences many people were victim off.

Thus in most other section of the forum [BOUNTY] are actually illegal to say the least.

However if the [BOUNTY] are for a good cause it'll be allowed under a few conditions.

- The [BOUNTY] is to be donated directly to the DEV

- The [BOUNTY] will only be donated when the DEV work is complete

- You are not allowed to make demands to the DEV

- You can't promote yourself for a [BOUNTY]

- The Dev's work must be creative/original development, not just ported-themes, modified stock ROMs or kanged ROMs

- Must be Recognized Developer or at least have a good well known reputation in XDA

AGAIN NO TROLLING ON THIS THREAD!

dsexton702 is a dev most familiar in the Samsung Galaxy S 4G forums and is an avid rom dev. He constantly updates his tweaks and roms infact he made so much development hes a recognized developer!

And i communicated with him a couple times and hes willing to sell his old phone to lower the price of the galaxy s 2. He's a willing dev and i know he can deliver a whole amount of joy for our BEASTLY phones!

reasons:

1. Updates frequently.

2. He joined in april of this year and is already a recognized dev (for those of you who dont know, there are devs out there that joined 3 years ago and still isnt recognized).

3. He will make us great roms, not just any old rom he tweaks it like non other and even loves to hear requests from his testers (pretty much lets the whole community be the testers, even alpha builds)

4. He has never ever let me down on help, he will always give you advice on anything he knows unlike the lazy devs who just post their stuff and dont comment back.

5. every rom or devlopement he has out right now in the Galaxy s 4G forum is widely known and used.

6. May i remind you he posts DETAILED instructions to flash anything he makes? (some devs dont even do that, let alone post screenshots)

"Why bounty dsexton he hasnt done anything for us yet?" Well listen he hasnt got the phone alright? its like youre going to eat a pie without a mouth, which is highly not possible.

He can port his:

ICBINB roms(which are silky smooth)

Adrenaline shots

(which makes our phone smoother than the stupid iphone and better battery life)

Most likely be one of the first to modify our roms once the inid.t folder comes out to our soon to be modified kernel!

Paypal:substitute his S2

I AM A NOOB at this. I do not pretend to know anything about phones and their OS's. Or how they work together. I did some preliminary searching before opening a new thread, and found nothing relating to the subject in question. Admittedly, I also suck at using search engines.

So, being that the HTC HD7S and HTC Inspire 4G are similar internally, would WD7 Mango work on the Inspire? Both phones are; ATT, HTC produced, have 1ghz processors (Inspire: 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8255 Processor, HD7S:Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 1 GHz processor ). Each has similar amount of RAM.

My reason for wanting to try this: I have a spare Inspire. I'm tired of iOS and Android for the time being. I have used Cyanogen. I would like to try out WP7. I am interested in making development/coding a hobby. (Take your pick)

Thanks in advanced. If I have done anything that annoys the forum, please forgive me, I am new and in time I'll learn what is and isn't acceptable.

Not possible, if we had access to the bootloader like the hd2 it could be theoretically possible if I heard right. But sadly no it's not
