[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
I have had the photon for almost 2 months now and I just rooted and unlocked the bootloader about 2 days ago. I'm running skinny rev1 rom and its awesome. Coming from a evo shift unlocking the bootloader is a lot harder on the photon but its totally worth it. And with all the video tutorials that qbking77 has it makes it very simple.

Welcome to the Photon forums. It is indeed a speedy phone with stock, but there are several roms and kernels out now that make it even faster. Also, we like to use punctuation here.

[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
Not too sure how the stock rom's work but I noticed the closest one to me is a Saskatel one.

Can I create a rom of this thing before I start messing with it for both mine and the community's benefit and if so then can someone guide me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

You need to first get your phone s-off'd so you can flash custom recovery, then you can backup everything and start cooking. You could start cooking with that Sasktel one, but the kernel might have different drivers for hardware.. do you even know if they use the gsm version? I think I'd be better if you started with your stock ROM.

I have the virgin mobile version which is basically the same as yours and I have the cm7.1 port on mine, I don't think you can get anything better atm.
[HTC Wildfire S] ScottPomroy:
If you're phone doesn't use a SIM card the XTC-chip will not work. XTC chips only work in SIMed phones only. There is a soft way to do this in the forum.
[HTC Wildfire S] djxs:
Bell and Virgin Mobile (owned by Bell) in Canada both use the GSM versions, not sure about Sasktel though.

@OP, if you need a store to get yours done, I know of a place in Brampton/Mississauga that does it for $25 with the XTC-clip.
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
Thanks guys

The phone is GSM and uses a SIM card.

Good to know that Saskatel may not. I was going to use that as a base rom for testing but I will use my own.

Managed to do a system backup with Titanium Backup Pro and the temp root procedure last night.

I am on my way today to buy an XTC Clip as I have two phones to do and possibly more as I may upgrade.

I have the two original 2gb sandisk SD cards to use for goldcards here.

So my understanding is to Clip, then root, then install Clockwork custom recovery rom, then Nandroid backup my system to have an image to recover from.

Then play.

About right?

Thanks for all your input. Much appreciated!

[HTC Wildfire S] Henry_1:
That's indeed the best way.

I will possibly do it like this also.
[HTC Wildfire S] djxs:
You got it.. once you do the backup in CW recovery, it'll create a directory in the clockwork folder on your sdcard with all the images from the backup.

I would also copy the folder of the backup to your computer and keep it in a safe place, just in case something happens with your sdcard.
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
Thanks guys

Just got in the door a little while ago from picking up the XTC-Clip.

Created gold card

S-OFF and Sim unlock done

Custom Clockwork Recovery installed

System rooted

Nandroid Full Backup complete.

Appreciated the guidance and help.

[Xperia Play General] noojster:
Hi fellow Xplay users!

This is a thread to compare, discuss, what is the best or quite probably the optimum ROM-kernel combo for Xplay

Please, discuss and compare anything related to the edge of custom roms and kernels with each other

Since I have no experience to flash the custom ROMs and kernels(except DooM’s) by our developers here, so to start with..

What are the advantage/disadvantages/pros/cons of

latest official SE firmware + DoomLord’s kernel VS. Cyanogenmod + DooMlord’s kernel for CM7?

For me, im using the latest 2.3.4 R800i firmware + DoomLords kernel, and I’d say its doing great, what are the things CM7(or other rom) has to offer for Xperia play that would make me want to flash it? Just to make it another android phone out there?

Don’t get me wrong Ive used CM7 before, just not on Xplay (on my old Glaxy5) so I know the basic features, and I know its great, but whats in store for the XPlay?

And if somebody is kind enough to answer this question..

I really love the look and feel of Xperia play and the Sony ericcsson home, its gives its own unique flavour being a PS-certified android device, but the tweaks for CM7 is great, and is less on bloatware, now DoomLord powering the kernel for it too makes it perform better.

Can I extract the .apk files of Xperia Play app, Sony ericsson Home, playstation pocket from the latest firmware and install it to CM7? Just like that and it works like magic? A CM7 rom with Xperia Play feel? When I slide down the controller will the Xperia Play app work together with Get games? How about playstation pocket?

Is it possible for a custom ROM development merging the look and feel of Xperia Play to CM7 Rom?

Thanks!

previous roms

Metaphorically this should work. After using an android Rom on the HTC hd2 with the Sony home screen as far as I could see this had seemed to be what they did.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreNME:
I have the SGH-i987 AT&T Galaxy Tab and while flashing it I recently got the black line in the middle problem. Considering the searches turned up a fix for that I followed the steps I could find (and using Odin) and was able to get it booting into the setup, after which I couldn't go any further because any attempt to get keyboard input caused it to crash and reboot. I've searched high and low for a way to get this thing back to stock and can't find a single source here or anywhere else on the web that is helpful. I'm hoping that someone here can help get me pointed in the right direction, because right now I have a useless device that does nothing but show me the battery is charged.

So you know: I've searched XDA and found nothing that applies to the AT&T model of the Galaxy Tab. The Verizon fix doesn't work and the T-Mo thread contains a dead link to the file I'd need. I've tried searching SamFirmware and it's been a completely useless experience-- whether that's due to poor layout and navigation or my being unfamiliar with how they keep any actual ROMs is beyond me, because the site just takes me in circles. Searching here hasn't gotten me anywhere either, since most point me to the Verizon thread (though one person has tried suggesting the T-Mo fix, but again dead links). I'm getting really let down, since I love how incredibly helpful and informative XDA usually is and this is one of those cases where I'm just spinning in circles trying to find an answer because I know the discouragement toward just showing up and screaming "Help!"

But I got nothin. I've done the searches. I've read plenty. I've searched the web (including this). I've been to the site that lots have claimed would have the file I was looking for. Nada.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basia314:
Found this by searching in XDA under your device model, hope it helps

UPDATE: As rangercaptain notes, there's a simple fix (which I failed to find the first round) for the white line black screen brick (or whatever you want to call it.) For anyone else, this may still hold value for how to convert your AT&T Tab to a P1000 Euro version with phone functionality or if you need to otherwise recover/restore a rooted AT&T Tab that's not booting.

I bricked my SGH-I987 (don't ask how). It was an already rooted and unlocked Galaxy Tab I bought crippled (of course) from AT&T sans contract. It was bricked. I couldn't get to the bootloader but I could hear the Samsung startup sound and then I got a blank screen with a faint line through it.

Anyhow, here's what I did to recover it.

Install USB drivers (if not already installed, else skip. The files I eventually found were called usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip but work perfectly on my Win 7 Ult x64 system.)

Turn off Tab

Hold the [Volume Down] + [Power On] buttons until the Digging Android screen appears

Connect your Tab

Run Odin (as an Administrator if you're on Vista/7). If the phone is connected, you'll see COM with a value and color highlight (not blank and white). (I used Odin3 v1.7.exe)

In Odin, load the following files (which I downloaded from samfirmware.com - the download will be password protected with the password "samfirmware.com"):

PIT => P1000XWJJ4\P1_add_hidden.pit

PDA => P1000XWJJ4\P1000XWJJ4-REV03-ALL-CL639474.tar.md5

PHONE => P1000XWJJ4\MODEM_P1000XXJID.tar.md5

CSC => P1000XWJJ4\GT-P1000-CSC-SERJJ2.tar.md5

Make sure "Re-Partition" is checked

If all's set, click Start and Odin will do it's thing. The Tab will reboot a few times and I was done and "unbricked".
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreNME:
I've already tried that. I've tried using instructions that used Odin. I've tried instructions that used Heimdall. I've even downloaded and used this jar executable called soft unbrick or something like that.

This is driving me crazy. Nothing seems to work. In fact, the last thing I tried (which were instructions similar to yours) got rid of the white line but have left me with a plain black screen with the buttons lit on the bottom and nothing else. The only thing I can still do is get it into download mode.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basia314:
sorry to hear that if i come across anything will post,
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreNME:
basia314, thanks for the attempt to help, but as soon as I did a google search on it I found the XDA thread in question, and it's one I've already found before. If you read the rest of the thread in question (here) you'll see that it doesn't work.

Currently XDA contains no thread with info on how to fix my problem. I've searched. Google has provided no links either. The closest I came to finding a solution is the suggestion that I let some guys fix it for $50.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theREDlegion:
You say you have tried that but your first post states that you did not find anything .... which one is it?

There is a stock AT&T rom here on XDA, where did you get the one you tried?

Can you get into Recovery? In the thread listed above one of the posts states that there is no boot image and a black Recovery screen that is functional. Maybe what you flashed is giving you these same results, have you tried waiting a bit longer after a flash to see if it will actually do anything, the first boot after a flash takes a little longer. Are you checking the re-partition box during the flash, the file linked in the other thread should be flashed with the re-partition box UN-checked.

Just trying to brain storm here, hoping you fix it.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreNME:
Well, it's a moot point now.

After following the instructions here to fix a "soft brick" I've now gone to hard brick. Can't power it up at all and can't get it to download mode.

When I said I couldn't find anything here I mean I couldn't find anything that helped. I can find tons of threads, usually pointing to either dead links or saying "go to samfirmware" (which I do, and still find no helpful info). I've tried close to a dozen different things to try to get my Tab back, all things either found here on XDA or linked to in threads here at XDA. Not a single one worked. And now I have a Tab that is as bricked as can be.

Of course, I've found threads here that claim a Tab can't be totally bricked as well. Maybe their Tab can't be, or maybe they're keen on tearing the thing apart to fix whatever breaks, but I don't have the tools here to do that. For me, my Tab is as useful as a brick right now, and has been for a month of trying to get it back to normal.

For reference:

[x] I am following instructions as completely as they're given

[x] I read as much as I could find reference to for things I wasn't sure of ahead of time.

[x] I googled.

[x] In Odin I checked the repartition box when instructed to do so, and made sure it was unchecked when instructed so.

[x] I made sure every time that the device was recognized in Odin in Heimdal

But...

[x] Yes I was foolish to have not made a backup.

This is killing me, and I don't have the $50 USD to get someone to fix my Tab for me as claimed in this thread. So I'm stuck with a Tab that's bricked.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreNME:
Still nothing

Interestingly, I could get Odin to see my device, but trying that stock ROM still failed. I have no way of knowing if I had it successfully in download mode because the screen is doing nothing. Completely black, no lights.

Any thoughts?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theREDlegion:
So it's not completely bricked?

Just a question, but from the thread started by k0sh about unbricking, did you try and just leave your tab plugged into a WALL charger for a few hours.

I would attempt at restocking with the OVERCOME stock safe, following their instructions to the tit.

---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

It does sound like you are experiencing the same black screen that I mentioned from the other post.

If you haven't done so yet, do try the re-stock instructions from the OVERCOME thread using their stock safe.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreNME:
It spends most of its time connected to a wall charger.

I'm guessing it's not completely bricked, but it's non-functional to me since I can get zero screen feedback. This means I can't tell when it's in download mode or not.

What's "the OVERCOME stock safe", for reference? I ask because I've followed the instructions on several threads already, and the problem has gotten progressively worse. Also, I've followed instructions 'to the tit' as much as I'm capable so far, so it's not like I'd be doing any different with some new set of instructions. I don't like trying to take shortcuts, though I have to admit that I've had to try to research the meanings of other references made before (i.e. - I have no clue what "OVERCOME stock safe" is, though I assume it's a ROM that I'll have to follow three somewhat-related links to in order to get to the megaupload site to get it).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreNME:
Addendum to above...

I didn't mean to come off as flippant, though I am a bit on the frustrated side considering every set of instructions I've been able to find to fix my Tab has resulted in it being worse than before the fix.

I'm trying to search for the instructions you reference, but not finding any detailed instructions anywhere. All I find is "flash OVERCOME using Odin" or something similar. As I said I have a completely black screen, so I have no indicator of whether I've got the thing in Download mode. Yes, I found out that it's not completely dead by using Odin to detect a COM connection, but that's not necessarily a guarantee that I have it in Download mode, is it?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theREDlegion:
alterbridge86 has a very well known thread in the Development section (Don't follow the links just yet) that has been around for a while, the OVERCOME team has provided us with many very stable and fast ROMS. To do a nice fresh install of their ROM they recommend doing a flash of a stock firmware to clear all the bits and bytes. If you follow the thread you will notice a detailed (and I mean detailed) instruction setup which is linked below.

Now, I'm not saying that you are not a smart person or anything so don't take any of the following as an insult, I just want to help so don't mind the simple instructions.

If I were you, after downloading all the files that you need for the stock safe stuff, to make sure you are properly in download mode when necessary do the following;

1) start the ODIN software on your computer.

2) connect your tab to the computer, check to see if odin connects

3) If odin connects than your tab is obviously ON, with the tab still connected to the computer press and hold the power button until the tab shuts off, at that point ODIN will disconnect.

4) press and hold the volume down button, then press the power button for a sec or two (the standard way to get into DL mode) and very shortly after you should get ODIN showing that it is connected again.

This will probably indicate that your tab has some functionality that you might be able to work with, but it wont be easy. After flashing anything you should wait a while as everything you flash will require a long first boot. Especially when you can't see any prompts. After flashing the kernel the install guide says you should hear a "sexy robot" voice (STEP 9). The flash will be quick but when the device reboots if you are not hearing the voice DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING, alot is happening in the background give it a good 5 minutes for it to finish (even 10 for safety), it should boot into the stock OS. If you don't see anything reboot your tab by holding the power button for 5-10 seconds to shut it off then turn it back on. BUT WHATEVER YOU DO, WAIT AT LEAST THOSE 5 MINUTES after flashing the kernel because it converts your system from RFS to ext4.

The OVERCOME rom thread is located here

The INSTALL GUIDE is located here

Good luck.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreNME:
I'm about halfway through the process, and I've already got the screen working again.

I took the initiative to search around on the search string you gave me ("Overcome Stock Stable") and came across the same page you link to above. I was actually just about to post it here for future reference if anyone ever found themselves in my position again.

I'm trying to consider whether to leave it at stock or to flash the Overcome ROM on it. Your thoughts?

(and many, many, many thanks!)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theREDlegion:
I'm very glad to hear that you got it working, I've got two tabs and half bricked both of them at one point or another. And I find it's actually not that easy to completely screw these things up, they just get frustrating trying to fix.

Anyway, you should definitely try the OVERCOME series of ROMs, they are really good. Lot's of small things that make it worth while as well as big improvements over stock (speed, battery etc.. etc..) I'm running BOCA on mine, had the Honeycomb RC1 on it for a few weeks and now am waiting for these wonderful devs to cook up a usable ICS ROM>

Ok so I tried searching and the only answers I could come up with were for a different rom (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11626645&postcount=425) as the video said I'm a noob I hate myself, it's right lol. But I can't seem to figure this out. Before I dive in I want to know if it's similar for my current ROM to these steps. I don't want to screw anything up :( I tried clearing the market data, and checking the adult filter. None of that helped.

Phone is HTC DHD Telus is the provider, So I rooted to Android_Revolution_HD-4G_6.1.5 without any problem. Flashed over to the suggested radio. Phone seems to be working good and fast but I can't install the app. It ran on my phone before I rooted... what am I doing wrong. Even when I find it not through the market. It takes me to the market and says "Your device is not compatible with this item" and I know that's a load of crap. If there's someone smarter then me out there (so pretty much anyone) Help please

2. Reboot (Normal),

3. Go to settings, then application, find market there and clear the cache and data (very important), and

4. Open Market and try to download your apps now!!
