[Samsung Galaxy Mini] EVIL THOR:
Rom manager is not compatible with our device and you have hard bricked (broken bootloader) and now you must give to samsung service for repair.

Sent with my Evil GT-S5570 from Hell
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] rak_688:
thats sad...but as a developer cant we fix it ourselves..i mean generally what is generally done in these situations.reflashing bootloader with some tools ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] coolsandie:
Actually, ROM Manager is capable of bricking the Motherboard, and this situation is termed as "Hard Brick" ie, the phone is completely dead. You can't enter recovery/download mode or boot up.

So, only the Samsung Service guys can replace the motherboard in order for the phone to function properly.

On the other hand, if the bootloader is bricked, it is also a case of Hard brick, but some devices can recover from this stage, but no idea about Galaxy Mini. I guess only locked bootloader is dangerous more than unlocked bootloader, and Galaxy Mini's is unlocked. Normally every Samsung's bootloader is unlocked I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dbunic:
Phone doesn't need motherboard replacement. It could be fixed with JTAG like RiffBox in any better service. I have RiffBox and several GT-S5570 phones were fixed with JTAG method.

It isn't simple but is possible. Phone should be disassembled, eight wires soldered to the motherboard and through JTAG access rewrite boot loader to the OneNAND memory. After resurrection finished, it's possible to switch phone to the download mode and continue flashing with Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] AfonsoADR:
try install your stock rom via odin, and later install cmw, later of this you can flash what you wants, i recomend cmw touch updated

Has anyone found any decent cases for the GSM GN in the US at all? A pouch or anything? I realize we have some VZW stuff coming in but since the VZW version is supposed to be thicker, not sure that would work well.

Product Description

11/17/11 Update: Our case will fit both models. It was designed around the i515 (LTE) dimensions. Since the i9250 is less than a 1/2mm smaller it will also fit perfectly. You only run into issues once you get over 1mm in size difference on TPU cases.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coleburns:
Yes it will fit both versions but it will fit the LTE versions better as it was designed for those.

Such hard work getting any proper accessories

Thanks, hadn't seen that last time I searched Amazon. Wishing for more options

I really doubt on something a niche as this at the moment that BF or CM will make a difference on this to be honest. There isn't even selection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 2842059:
It's not about selection. It's about what % off and free shipping. Every little bit helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] outsidah:
I'm not trying to be an ahole, but if you already overpaid to get the Nexus early, does X percent off really matter at this point? Plus like I said, we hard have anything to chose from.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] systoxity:
So yeah theres no subsidized note for att which makes me very sad. I really want this phone and have an update coming. What do you think my best bet for gettin this phone would be? Should i get an upgrade then sell the phone i buy and use the money to purchase a note? Which phone should i upgrade to to get the best buck? Any other ideas?

P.s. whats the best deal you guys think i can get for a galaxy note with att bands?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] intruda119:
Buddy I think you answered your own question. If you cant buy it out right or wish to get it with least amount of upfront money. Your best bet is to grab a Iphone4/skyrocket/vivid and sell it bnib. Either of those phones will get you atleast 400 and you would have to add another 300. As todays prices have jumped up to 300 for highend smartphones.

If your trying to get it soon, you can check out amazon wireless, I believe they are offering new contracts/new line for 1 cent. Or try your luck with blackfriday sells, most besides Iphone 4gs(Iphone4 will be 99 at bestbuy) will be free. You have options, searching is a great start.

[Verizon Droid Charge] didureboot:
Im trying to find someone that knows how to write files that can run as a zip in CWM. , I'm wondering what I would need to do to create a file my self to run in cwm to "install zip" that will delete a specific file. I installed a new boot animation in the system/media file called sanim.zip. The animation ran, but never completed. No matter how many times I reboot. But it gets me to the point where I can plug my computer in and access the SD card. So if i could create this file, I could run it in CWM to delete the sanim.zip file and not have to do a wipe on the phone. Any help? Please?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ilovesoad:
You didn't think to make a backup first? Otherwise, I'm not sure if the charge uses edifying or amend scripting, but that's how you make update zips.
[Verizon Droid Charge] didureboot:
negative. I made no backup. I wasnt thinking. But its booting into the phone. I can even call it and it rings. But the boot animation is still the only thing that will load on the screen
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
You could always use adb to do this -

BUT if you want to take a shot using

this

feel free. WARNING - I really don't know if it will work, as I've never tried to do such a task with this particular approach. Good luck!
[Verizon Droid Charge] gamblor01:
I'm not 100% positive that the process is the same for any Android phone (I have an HTC Evo with CWM) but I don't see why not. In order to create flashable zips you really need a few things:

1. you need to write an edify script and name it updater-script

2. you need to include the update-binary file (an interpreter for edify scripts)

3. you need to include any files to flash in the appropriate structure

There is more to it than this. You have to place files in the appropriate directory structure and you have to sign the zip as well. I'm honestly not sure what to put into an edify script to delete a file, but I really don't think that's necessary. You have a few options that are probably much easier than creating a flashable zip to delete the file:

- Restore from a backup that you made prior to flashing this sanim.zip file. You did create a backup first right? RIGHT!???? (P.S. *Always* make sure you have a backup before flashing anything in recovery!!!).

- You can just mount the /system directory in CWM. I think there is an option from the main screen called Mounts. Just go there and see if you can mount /system. I'm pretty sure you can. From there you should be able to navigate to the appropriate directory and delete the file.

Being able to mount the sdcard isn't going to help you because that's mounted at /mnt/sdcard. You need access to the /system mount point and I'm pretty sure that CWM can mount it for you. At least, I'm pretty sure this is an option in CWM on my Evo.

Good luck!

EDIT:

Ok I just posted and saw several comments before I finished typing up my reply -- including the link to the nosanim.zip file. If you extract the contents of that zip you will see the files updater-script and update-binary that I referenced. The script looks pretty simple -- most of it is just print statements to put output on the screen. Check it out and you can hopefully follow what it is doing. Looks like it should work, though you might still want to explore mounting things in CWM to see how it works. Hopefully that zip removes it and fixes everything up for you. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] didureboot:
once I have /system mounted, how do I navigate through it? I dont see that as an option in CWM after mounting it
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
I'm not sure if that is an option - although that would be a nifty one so do tell if you find out how!
[Verizon Droid Charge] didureboot:
woot. The NoMoreSanim.zip worked like a charm. Thanks so much. I owe you big time for fixing my stupid mistake. Thank you again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
No problem - glad it worked!
[Verizon Droid Charge] gamblor01:
Oh I was expecting that it would show up as an external drive that you could navigate through on your computer. Like, connect it via USB, then mount /system in CWM, then you could browse it on your computer. I don't know though -- I have only ever mounted the sdcard in recovery.

Glad the zip file worked though. That's easy. :)

Thought I would share a cool new widget I found on the market. It's pretty sweet! A windows taskbar for android. It's another option instead of a dock for one of the launchers or folder organizer. I am using the free version right now, but will probably plop down the $2 for the pro. In the screenshots I am unable to rename the sub menus (untitled) until the pro version. Those menus open like a folder system so you could have all of your apps located in this one easy widget.

[General Questions and Answers] chewbz:
So a couple of months ago I purchased my first android phone (my nexus) to specifically root and flash. I tried many roms and have had a jolly good time here at xda.

Now here is the small dilemma that I'm facing with all this new found knowledge of rooting phones. Ever since I rooted my gfs inc2, she goes around telling everyone that her bf(me) is the one to call for smartphone tech.

Yesterday I just rooted and flashed miui on her coworkers Droid 2 global. Btw that phone was a ***** to work on, I had to go to read like 5 different forums to get the corrects steps to flash gb roms.

And now just today my gf is asking me if I could jailbreak her brothers new iPhone 4.

Yeah I'm in no way mad about people asking me for help but I guess I'm now the phone guru that everyone relies on. I do enjoy working on different phones, and flashing roms are always fun.

I'm wondering if anyone else on xda has turned into the go-to-guy for smart phone related tech?

Hi guys... I've been having a couple of problems whith my Captivate...

1.- Power button doesn't work.... Is there a solucion to wake the phone up whith a volume key?? Or any alternative..(?)

2.- When the phone is turned off, it shows the battery status, but it's not conected to the charger and nothing... I just put the battery on the and it shows as if it were charging... And I cannot access to the Recovery Mode to turn the phone on....!!!! I just can acces to the Download Mode, but not to recovery.

1:

this just happened to me. i was running miui at the time. if you can get miui onto your phone it has an option in button settings to use the volume rocker to turn the screen on. then i used the lock button in the notification bar to turn it off. also used a widget on the lockscreen via widgetlocker to turn the screen off so i could just turn it on to check the time/sms/email notifs real fast then turn it right back off. it took a bit getting used to the new process but hey, it worked. i ended up calling att about it and they said i still had 6 days left on my warranty so i went and exchanged it. att gives you 1 year warranty with a new captivate purchase. there may be a mod or something somewhere that allows for button reassignment. button savior maybe.

not sure about that one
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxmusic:
Is your cappy rooted? What ROM are you using? Or is it stock? I had the same problem with my experimental captivate I bought on eBay. I found a way to remap the volume button to wake the phone. This will make it a bit of a hassle to change the volume, but it was not a big deal for me since it was my experimental phone.

Off the top of my head the best way to get into recovery mode with bad buttons would be to flash a kernel or ROM that has an extended power menu.

Just remembered theres an app in the market called quick boot. It says you can boot into recovery with it but I haven't tried it. There may be other apps that do the same.

I install one mod, and then when I install the other one, the first one goes away. Then I install for first one again, and the second one goes away.
