Softbrick- word of advice...

Hey guys, I hope someone can learn from my experience and I help them avoid a softbrick.

I flashed this theme yesterday and got all the FC's when my phone rebooted. I then thought I would be "smart" :/ and try something to see if it would fix the FC's at boot since I was eager to see this theme working on my phone.

I went back into the bootstrap recovery and did a few factory wipes/ dalvik wipes like I used to do all the time with my Evo (and never had a problem). I then re-flashed this theme and proceeded to reboot. And what do you know?? Yes, I softbricked my phone!! :(

To be fair, I dont think it was this theme that did the softbricking. Since the first time I flashed it I just got the FC's but I was able to reboot into the bootstrap recovery which would of let me either used the uninstall script or restored a backup to get my phone back to the condition it was before flashing this theme. I believe the culprit of the problem was the bootstrap recovery we have which was "moded" for our phones (from the bionic if im not mistaking). I would think that since this was a "moded" recovery and not a "genuine" recovery for the Razr, when I did the wipes it probably wiped using a different file structure (im not a developer so this might not be the correct lingo) then what our phone has and apparently it wiped something important the phone needed to boot and thru it into the boot loop.

Anyways, I ended up having to go to the store to get a replacement. Luckily it was still under the 14 day exchange policy for the retailer I bought it from. Hope this helps someone.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polemarch:
Hi everyone, I kinda need some help fixing my Galaxy S GT9000.

Whilst I was updating my firmware via Samsung Kies (to Froyo I believe) my phone crashed and I could not get out of the screen with the yellow triangle and Android worker. After a bit of googling I followed some guides in an attempt to restore my phone to normal. I used Odin, loaded PIT file (ending 20100512.pit) and the PDA files T959UVJFD.

This 'restored' my phone, but on T-mobile's Vibrant - which does not seem capatible with my handset. The volume up and down buttons are inversed, I can only hear and talk on the phone via speaker phone, and when I charge my phone it shuts off and goes to the battery charging image, but then continually resets and resets (its as if it is in a loop)

Is there anything I can do apart from sending it back to Samsung? Can I use Odin again, but not use the Vibrant fileset?

(sorry I am not too phone savvy as you can see)

Thanks for any help in advance!

Tried a couple, currently on Koush's Alpha 11 and it seems a little sluggish compared to the other I tried (forgot which).

Which rom is smoothest with the most working features? I have limited free time and don't have time to sift through all the threads. :(

thanks!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] misosoup7:
Anyone know if there will be a CynogenMod for the Prime? I saw a post on CM9 for Nexus S earlier.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] [TSON]:
I'm assuming there will be a wait, since Transformer is in ICS and there's no stable ICS builds yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChrisDos:
Not to mention it has not been rooted yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RussianMenace:
Not to mention it's not even out yet....so we don't know if it's root-able at this stage or at all.;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tempie007:
Will take a while i guess, tegra isnt open.. If you want a tablet with loads of roms wait for the tablets with texas instruments cpu. They will probably perform even better despite the fact that they are dual core. Probably also better integrated with ics because google is using ti cpus as reference model on developing ics.... just as they did with tegra 2 on honeycomb
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gnul:
Locked Bootloader?

As there are a few demo models available to reviewers, has anyone determined if the bootloader is signed for the Transformer Prime?

The TF01 is rom-able, but who knows what ASUS will do with the Prime...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I've heard/read google using tegra3 as the test mule also for developing ICS. So to say it will be better implemented on Texas instruments CPU not entirely true. Only time will tell ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dandmcd:
My Atrix2 with Tegra is incredible with CM7, I can't wait to see what developers can do with an unlocked bootloader Prime. I doubt getting the Tegra3 optimized will be the problem, the issue will be how easy or difficult it is to get full access for ROM's on the Transformer once we have ICS. NVIDIA has helped in the past with driver issues on ROM's.

@OP

Developer here at your service. I'm sorry. But the question you are asking is related to warez. So I can't give you a direct link. But here's a clue. PSX Games, ISO DL in google. But I must remind you. It is illegal to dl games that you don't own. I am in no way responsible if you are caught and arrested and made into someone's ***** ;). Joke :D. But seriously. That's all I cam help you with. And ignore children that think is fun to be rude.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BinaryXeroMedia:
You were one once mate. So grow up and be helpful and stop being a noob. He asked the right question in the right place. Maybe he is new here and only has a few posts. And can't post in the development thread. People like you annoy me. Going around thinking your better than everyone else and treating people like stupid people. Some people just ain't techy like us. I had to help a 40yr old bloke yesterday understand how to unlock the bootloader of the nexus s. He didn't know where to start and he isn't techy like us. So next time maybe just not reply and just write to yourself "I was a noob once. I was stupid once. I needed help once." and then maybe help and not be rude.
[Xperia Arc General] adieeluv:
In the latest software upgrade we did for the 2011 Xperia™ phones, we’ve included WebGL™ support. By doing so, Sony Ericsson is the first mobile phone manufacturer to support WebGL for the Android web browser. WebGL basically makes it possible to extend the capability of the JavaScript programming language to allow it to generate interactive 3D graphics within the web browser. Read more about Sony Ericsson’s WebGL support after the jump, and find out about special considerations to keep in mind when developing 3D web applications targeting touch-enabled devices.

In this article, Anders Isberg from Sony Ericsson’s Technology Reseach department explains more about WebGL and what to think of when you develop 3D web applications for touch-enabled devices. If you scroll down, you will also find three WebGL examples that you can browse to from the Android browser, if you have the latest software on your 2011 Xperia™ phone.

[Xperia Arc General] brocnical:
So this is a feature that is new to BOTH Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich, and not even the Galaxy Nexus supports WebGL at present?
[Xperia Arc General] doomed151:
With the stock browser, it seems so. It's just like what SE claimed.

It tested it today it works amazing. Good that Sony realizes how important after sales support is. Once someone takes the initiative others will follow. ;)

[Nook Color General] jaugusta:
Hi guys,

This is my first time posting but I have lurked on the forum for a long time so I first want to thank all of you for all the great information that has helped me root my phones, my first nook, customs roms and all. You guys are amazingly smart and makes me wish I played a little less sports in school and studied a little more. So again, thank you for all the sharing of knowledge on this forum.

So to my problem. I have had a Nook for months, was running Cm7 and life was grand. It was on my dresser and my dog knocked it off and split the screen right down the middle. I went 2 days ago and purchased a new one. With the issues of the locked bootloader on the Nook Tablet I decided to stay with the Color that I had already grown to love.

I have been trying to root it but keep running in to problem after problem. I downloaded win32 and half the time when I try to put the CWR image on the SD I get error 8. I have found many ways on here to fix that but it still happens HALF the time. I am running it as admin and running the oldest version. The other half of the time it will look like it is burning to image and says it is done. But after it finishes my computer will not let me open the SD device to put the zip files on it. When I try it says that it must format the SD card to open it. Every time.

Also, just to check if everything is working right, after it says it has finished burning the image on the SD I have put it in the nook to make sure it boots in to CWR, it does not. It boots normal.

My nook is version 1.2.0, I use the correct file for my SD card size, I format it using Panasonic SD Formatter and I cross my fingers, click my heels 3 times and wish upon a star. Nothing is working.

I believe the issue is my computer. I am running 32bit Vista on an older computer. I believe last time I rooted my first nook I used the laptop, but that computer has since exploded in a ball of fire and is no longer available to me.

I'm stressed. I am at the point where I would be willing to pay for somebody to mail me a boot ready SD card.

Any advice is appreciated and thank you in advance.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
I assume

+ you have 2 NC, one that been knocked off by your dog and one is new, v1.2.

+ you want to run CM7 off the uSD

am I right?
[Nook Color General] jaugusta:
Correct. I have the broke one with a non working screen and the new one which is 1.2.0

I do not want to run Cm7 off the SD but install it to internal memory. I want to flash CM7 on it and for it to never know it used to be a nook.
[Nook Color General] unsivil_audio:
Have you considered the possibility you have a bad sdcard on your hands? Thats what it sounds like to me, either that or a bad card reader.

Also try redownloading the image file and maybe pointing us to the link your using so we can verify its correct. I actually just mounted the usb once I was in CWM and transferred the zip files I needed over then.
[Nook Color General] jaugusta:
I have considered that. I have used multiple SD cards, I am trying a different new one at this moment as well. It very well could be the card reader, if that is the case then I am in trouble because there is not much I can do about it.
[Nook Color General] unsivil_audio:
Here is the version of Win32 I was using.
[Nook Color General] jaugusta:
Trying that one now. Thank you.

Edit.

I downloaded the different win32 and it wrote the image right away. I then went to open the card to pull the zip files on it but again when I try to open it I am told that I need to format it before I can use the disk.

This is frustrating.

Once again though I want to say I am very appreciative of all the help.

Edit Edit:

I put the SDcard in to the nook just to see if it would load CWR from the SD and again it did not and simply booted as normal.
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
Are you running Win32 as Admin?

---------------------------------
[Nook Color General] jaugusta:
I am running it as admin. I learned that lesson the first time I rooted. I am pretty sure the issue is my computer. I've updated my drivers but I am nit sure why there is such an issue. The computer is more than 5 years old so there could be a number of issues.

At this point, I would be more than happy to pay somebody to send me an sd card and return it to them. I travel often for work and it is such a geeat tool for my business and I did not realize how hard my every day work would be without it.
[Nook Color General] jaugusta:
Once I write the image file my computer will not let me open the disk to place the zip files. If I could get past that it would be ok, I just can not figure out why it keeps wanting to format the disk before it will let me open it after writing the CWR image file.
[Nook Color General] Soulxlight:
Yep the issue is the burning if the image. Make sure you use one of the USB ports on the back of your machine when burning the image. I've found that the ones in the front can cause issues depending on the machine used.
[Nook Color General] granny smith:
It sounds crazy, but try formatting the card in your Nook first. I think it might solve your problem.
[Nook Color General] jaugusta:
Alright we got everything working now!

So I tried a few different sd cards. I would use the size of image for the size of SD card. 2gb and 8gb. I formatted the 8gb and used only the 1gb image and it worked no problems.

I had followed some instructions that ended up giving me the black screen of death when it would start to boot up. I reformatted and flashed 1.0.1 stock nook, then re-flashed CM7 and all is well now.

Thanks guys!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnttiV:
I'm using multiple android devices, all of them under one phone number (only one plan that includes five separate sim cards). All of the services are available under any individual device, BUT! Text messages (SMS) ONLY arrive at the devices that holds the "primary" or "master" sim card.

What I'd like to have, is the ability to somehow send any arriving messages from the primary device via something (email? im?) that doesn't require them to be in close vicinity (so no wlan/bluetooth). So that it wouldn't matter which device I hold, I'd always receive any incoming text messages and they would be available on all devices. Best would be, if also SENT messages would sync between devices.

Also of note is that the sync should be (almost) instantaneous (as fast as can be achieved via push-gmail or instant messaging). So no scheduled syncs or anything that requires an interval.

Each one of the devices are capable of sending/receiving sms on their own, so no technical barriers exist on that front.

By syncing, I mean that the messages would be available at each device's own "messaging system", NOT just backed up in email or something. (so SMS2Mail of backupsms -style apps are out of the question.)

The devices are running Android 2.2, 2.3, 3.1 and come next year, android 4.0.

I'm going to use:

* Samsung Galaxy Note

* Samsung Galaxy Tab

* Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9

* Samsung Galaxy Gio

* Motorola Defy

I've looked into TotalSMS Control, DeskSMS, Phone Control and various other apps, but they all lack some part of what I need. (DeskSMS looked the most promising, but apparently doesn't work on Honeycomb, at least market doesn't show DeskSMS for my Tab 8.9).

If this exists, please tell me. If it doesn't, I'm willing to pay some.

Note: monthly/yearly fees are not out of the question. The services need not be free, just working :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neutron878:
Did you ever find an app that worked for you? I'm in a similar situation and would be interested to hear what you settled on.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnttiV:
No, unfortunately I didn't. I'm currently using Phone Control. I needed to change my primary device from Tab 8.9 to Note to get PC to work (since it required telephony). It is hands down the fastest of what I have tested. Unfortunately it only sends the arriving sms as email to the other devices, there is no way to actually 'sync' anything between the devices.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markus_androidfanatic:
Hello AnttiV,

I have already posted my setup (somewhat applicable to your case) in this Thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1368228).

To make best use of the app that I use in my setup (mysms) I would slightly modify it. You can install mysms on you main device (which has the SIM card that is marked as primary). Then you can access and write messages from all other smartphones via the mysms mirror app (search for 'mysms mirror' in the play store).

I used the free Web app to text from my iPad until I decided to purchase the app from the App store.

Hope this helps you.

[MENTION=6852787]eileenfj0713[/MENTION]:

that's not even remotely usable in this scenario? That's only SMS transfer, not a simultaneous receiving.

However, I've now been using MySMS for about year, and that seems to be the best solution (it's even cross platform! Works from iOS also) available. I heartily recommend MySMS to anyone looking for a solution to this kind of a problem.

the only thing is, i did the replacing of framework-res.apk using root explorer (i had no idea that would be the stupidest thing i ever did)

I did the same exact thing changing my wallpapers on my KF (modifying the framework-res.apk file, copied it back and it instantly started to boot loop). I am also stuck in a boot loop. Have you found a way out of it yet? I can see the KF in ADB and the KF Utility, but I don't have write permissions, and I can't remount to fix it. When I run the KF Utility then (latest version as of today) I get the following (showing only the errors):

[General Questions and Answers] arjen82:
When I look at the architecture of Android I would expect that the updated Android version lives in all the layers exept for the Linux Kernal. This would mean that upgrading would be as easy as overwriting the layers with the new ones.

Only when the way the drivers are called is changed would a rom require an update on the Linux Kernal.

As it takes a long time to enable updated roms for devices either the architecture picture is incorrect (or the ideal picture that can't always apply due to technical restrictions) or my understanding of it is incorrect.

Could someone please explain?
[Galaxy Tab General] mikethor62:
I ran the recent update from Samsung on my wifi only 10.1 Tab. The update went fine, and everything appears to be workign ok with one small issue. When I wake the tab up to use it, it's never connected to my home network. I usually have to turn off wifi and then back on again and I am right back on.

It's nto a huge deal, just a minor annoyance, but it didn't do this before the update, and it was kinda nice to wake the thing up and have it right back on the network, ready to go.

Anyone else see this? Anyone have a thought on a fix? Thanks.
