Hey guys,

I need to send in my phone for insurance, and I as able to get the stock rom back on, but it's still on S-OFF.

I've tried to get it back to S-ON, but can't do it.

Should I just severely damage the phone so that it won't turn on? :confused:

Anyone have thoughts on this? What do you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance

2 issues:

1) Trying to boot in recovery mode, I get the red triangle thing... is there a way to bypass this?

2) I believe I rooted using the revolution root. Can I still use the unrevoked method? Thanks!

You CAN NOT use unrevoked s-on. Search for how to unroot revolutionary root. U will have to flash a custom recovery first tho since ur missing one. Also why do u have to send phone in? What's wrong with it? Maybe we can just help u fix it...

The question is, why are you sending your phone to insurance? They don't repair phones, they only replace them. Therefore, if you already made a claim with them, they dont care if the phone is rooted or not. In fact, they dont care if its in one piece or a hundred, that's what insurance is for. Only sprint cares if the phone is rooted, and that's only if you are still under warranty.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xpiamchris:
I have to send it in because my screen is broken... it doesn't respond to touch.

I took it into the sprint repair store (still rooted), they found out and said that they closed my case due to me voiding the warranty. They gave me the address to file the insurance claim sprint.com/protection, so I went there and filed it and they are sending over a new phone.

They only charged me for $100.

Does this mean I'm in the clear?

Also, I am REALLY new to this rooting thing.. my friend actually did it for me. Can anyone point out step by step instructions on what I should do..? I would REALLY appreciate it. I believe it was rooted using revolution.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notorious:
How did they find out it was rooted?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
If you have already paid the deductiuble, then yes, you are in the clear. Again, Asurion doesn't care if you rooted your phone or not. That's the whole point of insurance, no matter what you do to your phone, they will replace it for you if you pay the deductible.

Instructions for what? How to root again? There are a few large threads on how to root again with Revolutionary.io, which is what you will need to use to root again. The best advice is to just read read read before you attempt to do it, that way you are less likely to screw something up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xpiamchris:
I've read on certain forums that if they find out your phone was rooted, they will force you to pay the extra $500 saying that your warranty is void. This is why i want to unroot it completely before sending it in.

Also, I feel like my phone is in limbo and I am unsure of how to unroot it. It was rooted using revolution, and I tried to unroot it.. but all I was able to do was get it back to stock rom but with S-OFF. I'm trying to get it back to S-ON, but not sure of how to do that. Following instructions online, I was either stuck on my phone saying my radio was the wrong version or roms simply not doing anything.

My current phone status:

SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-2.16.0001

MICROP-041f

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Again, warranty and insurance are two SEPARATE things. Yes, rooting does void your warranty, but it has nothing to do with insurance. If you are getting your phone replaced through a warranty exchange, and they later find out you were rooted, then you would liekly get charged for the phone. However, like I said before, insurance is different. They don't care what happened to your phone. Your phone could be in a hundred pieces, as long as you paid the deductible, you get a new phone, that's the point of insurance. If you were to take a hundred piece evo into a sprint store, they would immediately void your warranty. But that's what insurance is for, anytime you lose/break/brick your phone, you can get it replaced.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbenney:
if you are that worried about it take out the sdcard, put battery back in, turn phone on and drop in in the sink full of water or a glass of soda. just not worth the time to unroot to send it to asurion.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Thanks for bumping a 4 month old thread to tell people what was already discussed in this thread. You do not need to unroot to send to Asurion, they don't care. And dropping it in water to send to them is insurance fraud, and is illegal.

Hi i hope not i am the only one

but when i buy the hd games in market

they cant be played it says not compatible with my device

a little bit weird for a phone with hd resolution

anyone elese here
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Souai:
the HD games on the market are designed for 960x540, which is a 16:9 resolution.

the note uses 1280x800, which is WXGA in a 16:10 ratio. it would have to be 1280x720 for it to be HD.

but anyway, the games should work but may give you black borders depending on what type of screen the game was designed for.

my note should arrive tomorrow so i'll probably be able to test some games out then.

which games were giving you difficulty? if i have them purchased i'll try them out

Have you configured the battery since flashing the rom?

I get decent enough battery life, with light usage I can go about 36 hours w/o a charge but on my heavy usage days I usually have to use the car charger a few times a day.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender beerman:
all of these... biggest one is to turn off data when the phone is in your pocket. use wifi when u can, avoid using 4g unless plugged in, configure the battery in recovery (i've actually notice that this helps less than anything else for me), and finally: get an extended battery. it's worth the extra hours u can squeeze out of it. don't expect more than 4-5 hours screen on time with any rom/kernel/modem combo with a stock battery.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Breezy357:
Yeah I also did that wipe battery stats at recovery.

I just thought maybe my expectations were too high, although it seems as if my battery drains drop pretty fast.

I would say about -10% battery drop every hour, just checking the time and send/receive text messages. Occasionally I surf the Web on the phone when on break at work. Other than that the phone is in my pocket, and after my 9 hour workday my phone demands the charger.

This is with the stock battery, so I guess this is normal unless I'm using the extended battery?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedave9081:
get the duricell portable battery extender, add milliamps to your arsinal in one way or another with extended batterys or whatever, if you call sprint and complain loudly and dickly they will rebate you the cost that u spend on a new battery or batt extender whatever... that being said all the above options work great, u can also use night mode on chainfire 3d to save battery, or perhaps half your pixel rate, or perhapes turn off some colors (havent seen an app to do this yet) and reset your battery memory in cwm, kill ur batt, charg while off, then cycle again like that. (theres an app for that) if your not rooted, root your phone. if you dont want to root your phone, cycle ur battery the old fasion way or pop it into a rooted phone and do it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rando991:
I used to get really poor battery life (due to my phone not sleeping as evidenced by Spare Parts app). I rooted, used Titanium Backup to freeze various apps, and got an Zboost antenna booster for the office and called Sprint who sent me an Airave for the house. I wiped battery stats and cleared my Dalvic cache and the thing the finally got me right was finding out the Amazon MP3 app was still logged in though not running. Once I made sure I was logged out of that and Lattitude (Google Map feature) and Facebook, I haven't had any problem with a sleeping phone. Stock Froyo, standard battery, but rooted. When they say a bad app keeps your phone from sleeping I think they mean an app that requires log in...although this does not seem to be a problem if you stay logged in from a browser, only from an app!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poit:
You may be shooting yourself in the foot with some of those things. App killers aren't that useful on Gingerbread since they keep killing apps that just reload on their own, and every time the reload it uses power. Just because an app is loaded doesn't mean it is running. Try letting the system take care of it. Juice Defender may help a little but it keeps shutting down data and starting it up, which means you don't get as much usefulness out of the phone and may waste power in some circumstances.

See what you have set to sync. Turn off any autosyncs you don't need, like weather screens, facebook, etc. If at all possible set them to only sync when you open the program.

I use the exchange option for gmail using the stock samsung app, which gives me push email but doesn't have to keep polling the server. I don't know if that makes a difference compared to imap, but it works well for me. don't think you have that option in CM7.

Wifi is a much more efficient way transfer data than 3G, use it whenever you can, and set it to never sleep. Otherwise the 3G radio keeps starting up again and wasting battery.

You can freeze the DRM stuff if you don't use it. I don't know if it really makes a difference but everyone thinks it does, so I do it.

Having a black wallpaper helps a little because on a AMOLED screen a black pixel uses no power.

The biggest battery killer is being in a bad signal area. If you always have 0 or 1 bars then your phone is going to always be draining the battery trying to find a good cell. In that case Roam Control may help you.

That's about all I do, and with the latest Stock gingerbread EH17 and EI22 I'm sitting with about 40 to 50% left after 12 hours, that's with light to moderate use.

Lol, I've been doing many of the suggestions across the board, and have gotten much better results. But I'm still not "comfortable" with my battery strength, especially when I'm unable to charge my phone all day...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themow:
Looking into your running services is a big one. week ago my battery life greatly decreased. I kept seeing market update pending and it wouldnt go away. Never update never go away. I manually updated the market and the battery is back to wonderful. It drops 2-3% at night off charger. Thats about 8 hours.

A sticky with all the main running services and which ones you can stop would be wonderful. I have sns services running. I think i can stop it but not positive. I also have sanservice running supposedly some type of samsung update. Its not doing anything but its been running for 2 days. No negative effect on battery(that i notice) but its running. Also make sure you turn location off. Ive also noticed that even when you back out of google maps its still in running services. A restart fixes that but thats annoying.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rando991:
SNSservice is a Facebook and Feeds and Updates Widget service. ALWAYS stop it. It does not matter to Facebook, even if you use it, but if you remove the Feeds and Updates Widget on one of your screens, that service continues to search for it and will kill your battery in a matter of hours (it starts a "restarting" loop). Either leave the widget on or kill this service after every reboot or if you are rooted, freeze it along with DRM service.

My other battery tips are to log out or sign out of every app such as Lattitude, Facebook, Amazon MP3 (it's ok to use them, but don't just back/exit out, actually sign out of them so you have to log back in next time). Apparently, staying signed in causes your phone to not sleep and you can't find what is causing it (i.e. you can't see it "running" anywhere...people call it a misbehaving app, and you would have to delete apps one at a time to find it by trial and error).

You think the unlock code is unique to the IMEI? Once it's there it will stay?

I followed this post to get the Unfreeze and Unlock Codes in the first place when the phone was running on Eclair. I used the "Generate Unlock Windows.zip" file. But it doesn't work this time because the phone is running on Gingerbread now.

Just that at this point I would want to stay away from rooting the phone again. Because I would rather not having to apply any lagfix. I believe lagfix is what screwed up my phone in the first place. I would root it again only after I know there will not be any lag if I unroot it afterwards. Because I would root it only to replace one font file in it.

Does anyone know if unrooting the phone will make the lag issue go away?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adslee:
I was talking about the nv_bin method in the thread, not the unlock code method. For the nv_bin method you'd need to be rooted, but honestly rooting your phone just gives you superuser (admin) privileges and should not hinder the speed of your phone.

As for the lag, you can also just use Chainfire's ext4 utility to apply the lag fix after you root the phone if you feel the need to.

I'm on stock Rogers gb right now, but I'm thinking of buying a hdmi adapter so I can play emulator games on the big screen. I can't find a rom that has working hdmi as most of the newer roms are based off of Rogers gb. Any ideas?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayson94538:
I believe the stock gb leaks have a working hdmi.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
You need to run an att leak with the stock kernel. There is apparently another exploit that can root gingerbread but the kernel switcheroo still works. If I find the thread I'll link you to it. For the leak look up sghi997uckj2 or sghi997uckj4. Both are pretty quick and stable but have a few bugs.

If you root with a custom kernel you will need to disable voodoo before you van flash to an hdmi kernel, it is best to disable it before flashing by creating /sdcard/Voodoo/disable-Lagfix this can be a file or a folder, create it in any file manager app. The"V" in voodoo must be capital. all other letters are lowercase. The Voodoo folder may already exist if you have room a custom ROM, just put the disable-lagfix file/folder inside.

Entropy's dd and the Hellraiser kernel have wifi and sd card compatibility with the att roms but no hdmi and get the sd card working by changing vold.fstab. flashing back to the stock kernel this breaks the sd card again. Once the custom kernel is flashed (you may need to extract the zimage and use heimdall, I don't think there is a tar version out there) for root you can then extract zimage from the Odin package and flash that with heimdall or move to the sd card and flash with sgs kernel flasher.

once you are back to the stock kernel open /system/etc/vold.fstab and on the last line that isn't commented out the last character in the sd card path will be a "2" change out to "1"

If you don't need root then just flash the leak as is.

I may make a heimdall package for entropy's kernel for rooting. But I may also wait till there is an hdmi version with root and cwm available. Since for now many people will want to use the stock kernel so it make just as much sense to root with the new exploit I saw, still can't remember what it was called but there is a thread on it that for move to the general section and since gotten buried

Don't flash a froyo kernel if you're using gingerbread. There is a current gingerbread ROM that claims to have "everything" working.

It's supposed to shuffle if you shake the phone, sometimes it happens if I'm walking or whatever and it picks up enough motion.

If it happens when you're sure you are not moving the phone at all, then maybe try using the glitch kernel (which you should do anyways, it's awesome) since it has different sensor code than stock.
