[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
So last night I was running Starburst Rom and decided that I wanted to theme it, so I downloaded the theme I liked for it, flash it in recover, but when I reboot the system it kept boot looping. So I figured that I needed to format it, so I went back into recovery and used Caulkins Format All zip, flashed it, then flashed the theme again. OUCH this time my phone would just show the yellow triangle and Samsung logo ( start up page). I can still go back to recovery but all my other Roms are gone so I cant even restore my phone or anything! What can I do? I used Heimdall to root, can I go back and re root again? Would I still get the stock rom? HELP :eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poppygt:
Download a rom onto an sd card and flash it from recovery. Format all wipes your entire system, you use format all to have a clean slate before you flash a new rom. You have no os now.

Edit: You could also flash the stock .tar they just put up in the development section, just make sure you read the instructions first or you could hardbrick.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
How do I download a rom to a phone that has no OS? Thats where I am stuck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
Is there a way to download and flash a rom in Download mode? What if I try to reroot again?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poppygt:
You don't. You download it to a pc or mac and then transfer it to a micro sd card and then put the card in the phone and flash the Rom from recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
Ouch so that means I will need another phone to do this.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poppygt:
Your going to need a computer at some point if you've lost root. You can at least get the phone working again though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
I have a computer, and I can dowload a rom into it, no problem, my issue is that I cant get this on my SD card due to me not being able to mount the phone in recovery. I tried and it wont. So my solution would be to go to a friends house that has an Android, download a ROM into their phone with my SD card then go back to my phone and flash it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poppygt:
Do you still have a custom recovery or just the Samsung recovery....sorry i should've asked sooner.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
your computer doesnt have a sd card slot on it? if not yes that what your going to have to do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poppygt:
I meant an external sd card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
I am able to go into CWM recovery, but I get this message off the bat at the bottom...

But at the top I can still scroll up and down with volume and choose with power.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
I have lots of those, the one on the phone is a 16GB and it has NOTHING on it.

I'd just flash through Odin or Heimdall and start over.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
Right I am with you, but my question is, if I flash through Heimdall again will I get the stock rom? I know by using this method I am flashing a kernel, but since I have no OS as you stated because mY dumb *&^% formatted all, would I get the rom back this way?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
The problem with that is that I have a Mac....:(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poppygt:
The link i posted is stock. After thats done you can reroot and go from there. Make sure you uncheck the boxes in the instructions or you'll brick. If those options aren't shown then don't flash it. I don't know macs very well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
Let me research to see if Odin is Mac compatible but I doubt it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poppygt:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1282420

Heres another option I've used myself. As far as I know you have to use Heimdall, its the mac version of Odin but I don't know any of the commands or how to use it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
Thanks for all your help, although all these methods are PC based, I will have to look into unrotting on a Mac, if not I will have to go to a friends house to use a PC with ODIN.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poppygt:
Macs scare me lol. Good luck and post again to bump the thread if you still have questions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
I am looking into going back to stock, rooting on this beast can be a beast, I have been rooting since the Evo days, and never had this issue with any phone as I do with this one.

Thanks though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
So I ended up doing a reset with Odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poppygt:
It takes awhile to get used to how things work with Samsungs. Once you get used to it, it isn't so bad. I keep backups on internal and external SD cards and keep copies of roms on both as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Atreides Spawn:
Try rooting using this method (post by sfhub), as it is very safe and simple... you will need to go back to the PC you used to Odin. Then you might check out Titanium Backup and flash a kernel with CWM5. Make nan-bak and T-bak and you can pretty much flash like crazy.

I have been having this problem for the last month. The only thing that sometimes fixes it is the hold power 30 sec/pull battery then launch maps first.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d.a.v.o.r:
I know it's fairly simple process (if nothing goes wrong), but if possible, i would appreciate if someone can confirm if i understand prerequisites:

1) phone name in Zune must be unique.

I hate that kinda, but ok.

2) i need to have WP SDK installed.

Is that that huge install of a couple of GBs?

I would give a link, but download center keeps redirecting to some windows server update

3) chevron unlock tool

Am i missing something?

Again, i know there is FAQ on chevron, but it's thin on SDK part.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wpxbox:
1) Best to ask them on Twitter @chevronwp7 or @WithinRafael.

2) Download the Support Tools or the SDK from here ( 14 Mb Each )

32-bit system, download the WPSupportToolv2-x86.msi package.

64-bit system, download the WPSupportToolv2-amd64.msi package.

3) chevron unlock tool is cheaper solution but if you need to put your apps in Market place you need App Hub Account

Chevron Tool basically uses The SDK and Zune to communicate with WP to unlock.

Let me know if you have more questions. I have written a tutorial on how to do it and it includes a bit length video if you want it.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d.a.v.o.r:
So i might miss out on some "more advanced" homebrew apps?

Do you maybe have concrete examples?

the reason i'm interested in unlocking is, and i'm not ashamed to admit it, to pirate apps from marketplace.

WP has been on the market where i live (Croatia) almost right from the start, and i've been an early adopter (got my omnia in feb). And there is still not a mention of when paid marketplace and various other services will be available.

Also, because i had to create another live account registered to UK and use it as my main phone account (for free marketplace access), my office hub is empty, and there are no skydrive photo albums in pictures hub, since all of them are on the live account i actually use, and not on this token i had to create. I missing out on great features.

With that in mind, do i need interop unlock for marketplace apps?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] didge3:
After having my Eee Pad for just over 3 months I have decided I now want the dock so I can use it more productively. In the UK I can get the dock for around £100-£120 but I cant help but think this price may quickly drop upon the launch of the TF Prime. Is there a release date for the Prime yet, does anyone else agree the price is likely to decrease quickly after the TF Prime goes on sale?

I'm not sure whether to buy the dock now, to see that it suddenly gets much cheaper in month or so, or wait and buy the dock later (depending on Prime release date) and keep the savings.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
I expect it will, depending on how long you want to wait for it and what the initial price there is/was. Here in the USA, I believe it has gone down from $150 to $99, to make room for Prime.

Hmm, if I was paying to upgrade to Prime, I would be tempted to develop a ROM called "Optimus" just for the hell of it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] didge3:
Lets just hope the Prime doesn't use the B70/B80 SDK that we all love to hate.

[LG Optimus 2x] 57op:
Hi there!

My device says that there's no service and battery icon shows a question point:

Does it mean that my battery is gone? And what about service?

I've installed CM7 Nightly #203 and vorkKernel (flags: camera, ril725, silent, ext4, ring), i don't think it's this the problem though.

I've bought this device just 6 days ago, what shall i do?

I trust in your help.

Update 08 Jan 2012: if you have the same problem, try to restore your previous RIL before flashing with nvflash.
[LG Optimus 2x] m0fizor:
The problem is the RIL...happened to me when testing RILs for 824BB.
[LG Optimus 2x] pidocchio:
i bet that is a baseband issue... have you changed your baseband trough the smartflash software?

go to settings -> about phone and check the baseband version, if it says unknown it's the same problem i had 1 week ago

the only solution is to flash trough nvflash the stock rom that include any official baseband like the last 725 for me (italy)

after you flash the stock rom+baseband don't restore any backup, it will brick your baseband again
[LG Optimus 2x] 57op:
Thanks both.

Well, i've changed RIL through Get RIL app.

In fact, baseband version is unknow!

Do I really have to flash stock rom in order to fix it?
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Nope, restore don't touch baseband, as it can't access to hidden partitions where BB is flashed by Smartflash or Nvflash.

Personnally I would check Baseband version in Settings> About Phone. If it's unkown, you can just flash the desired Baseband with Smartflash. Or flash an entire stock ROM with Smartflash, but it will unroot your device, so you'll have to root it again.

If Baseband is correclty identified, grab only the RIL and fllash it with CWM.

See Temasek shared files here:

http://www.mediafire.com/temasek

It contains all basebands in smartflash format, and RILs in .zip format
[LG Optimus 2x] 57op:
How do i use smartflash correctly?

I've tried but nothing changed, it seems it only wiped data.
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
If you followed this:

http://android.modaco.com/topic/335...aseband-release-103521-20110725-v20l-version/

Then it should be fine. If wipes /system and /data, so you have to restore via CWM your backup.

Try to install another ROM like Thanatos for example to check if it's not ROM related, or kernel related by flashing a fresh CM7 without changing kernel. CM7 is already ext4 so you don't need vorkkernel for that, adn it's better to use I think GetRIL to match RIL and BB.
[LG Optimus 2x] 57op:
I've flashed only the baseband, but it always says "unkown".

Maybe i have to flash the entire stock rom.
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Yes perhaps, Nvflash stock entire ROM, to check that hardware is good... It's another possibility...
[LG Optimus 2x] 57op:
Ok, i've flashed stock rom with nvflash.

Everything is working now :).
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Ok, then you can root it, and flash one thing at time , with nandroid backup between each step.
[LG Optimus 2x] pidocchio:
i wrote that because it's the thing happened to me last week...

this was my issue:

changed baseband from 405 to 725 trough smartflash

first reboot after baseband switch worked fine with the previous RIL 405

applyed the correct RIL725 with GetRIL

backed up

rebooted

phone with "unknown baseband" and obviously no service at all, only WiFi working

tried several times flashing other basebands and roms without sorting out the problem

flashed stock v10c with nvflash

phone working normally

rooted + cwm

restored the previously backup

phone with "unknown baseband" and obviously no service at all, only WiFi working

flashed stock v10c with nvflash

phone working normally

rooted + cwm

installed cyanogen #203 and working normally

installed RIL725 from GetRIL

rebooted

phone with "unknown baseband" and obviously no service at all, only WiFi working

flashed stock v10c with nvflash

phone working normally

rooted

installed cyanogen #203 and working normally

restored various apps from titanium backup

now i'm sticking with 725 baseband and CM stock RIL218 to prevent another "unknown baseband" issue
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
So it's more a CM7 bug that can't deal with BB. Don't remember that CM7 comes with 0218 BB, and there's no official recommendation to change it, aramcee was very clear on that .. despite this many users flash alternative BB and it works, so hard to say..

Golden rule: if already installedBB works no need to change except if asked by ROM packager.
[LG Optimus 2x] 57op:
Well, i've just installed RIL 725 on cm7 by switching to vorkKernel.

It works. However i remember that before, when i got the "unkown" baseband, i installed another RIL through GetRIL. And this did the mess up!

Now it works like a charm :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Oh yes I think I've heard such stories of messing RIL.. Great for you!
[HTC Sensation] poochie2:
I'm still bring to understand how the Sensation (first version) does (or does not) work. Coming form a great DHD (-2mV average consumption in sleep with wifi and 3g reception on) I am incredibly disappointed by new phone and it looks like I not alone.

The biggest problems are:

- High energy consumption (drain?), even while sleeping

- Weird voltage and consumption (mA of current widget or similar apps) while charging and discharging.

I thought the culprit could be a bad battery, but I'm now testing it in my DHD and will soon have some results. ATM I discovered that it charges like it should, going to 100% I can see that it is getting less mAs and will report 0 mA when correctly charged. The same battery in the Sensation goes from +random to -random and never actually says 0 mA. Even worse:

- the voltage report says that sometimes (while discharging) the voltage increases substantially instead of steadily and slowly going down

- 100% battery is reported for ages, then the value drops like hell

- rebooting with something like 50% will give you back a totally different value at the end of the reboot... something is not right..

Do you suffer the same issues? I can leave my DHD with a Runnymede ROM idle for almost a week, and my sensation would maybe last one day and a half, if not less. With very minimal use I get to the evening by miracle... this is simply terrible, I would say that many Sensations are defective because I also read some reviews that praise it and say that it lasts 2 full days of medium usage...

How do you fare?

Updates on the DHD with Sensation battery coming tonight..

PS: Sh**! I was in the Q&A in another tab of my browser and I posted in the development section by mistake, please move this to Q&A! Sorry!

[HTC Sensation] poochie2:

[HTC Sensation] poochie2:
Seeing the reports I didn't trust it much. If the battery is ok and the phone is not defective I cannot understand why the phone behaves like that even in stock conditions.

UPDATE: The battery looks flawless in the DHD, so it's the phone who's really messed up bad... this makes it almost unusable for me :(
