@rafaeker19, also tried that too, it again booted into recovery mode. Actually I tried all methods in recovery mode (wiped dalvik cache, wipe cache etc.) I think, it is something with files /dev/block/mmcblk0 ..p0..p1..p2 , but I am not sure, anyway I dont know the solution.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsb9938:
Turn it off. Boot to download mode. Load something.

D
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafaeker19:
Try redownloading the rom.

"I:Skipping execution of extendedcommand, file not found..."

maybe the download is corrupt.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erkangur:
I downloaded and tried flashing cm7 again in download mode. Still staying on recovery mode.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsb9938:
Was there anything you had to do/have before flashing it?

A specific version of CWR, or a specific kernel?

D
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erkangur:
Yeah, there was stock rom gingerbread. but it was stuck on the "computer -> /!\ -> phone" screen. So I used "heimdall close-pc-screen" command to solve the issue.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianPhillips1:
Have you messed with cache partitioning?

Ian
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpike:
How big is the file you are flashing?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erkangur:
I used that command exactly:

heimdall flash --repartition --pit gt-p1000_mr.pit --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot sbl.bin --kernel zImage --factoryfs factoryfs.ext4 --cache cache.ext4 --dbdata dbdata.ext4
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
It sounds like you need to flash a stock rom like the chainfire JQ1 in the development thread.

You will have to flash a .pit file to repartition, then the rom, then the dbdata file to set up the CSC. It's all spelled out there. Use the bootloader version.

Once things are fixed go for CM7.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Billy.:
Hi all, I recently lost my phone at a night club (yes I nearly cried) ;) lucky I had insurance so obviously the next day I phoned the insurance company and without giving them much information they said they would send me out a new one straight away. I then called my network provider to cancel my sim. (yes I tried calling my phone but it was either turned off or battery was dead).

Anyway a day after receiving my new phone my mother gets a phone call from the club saying they have my phone. so at this point i call my insurance company and to my surprise they do not want either of the phones back!

I then call my network provider to inform them and see if they would/could take the lock off, to which they replied sorry we cannot because you may be committing fraud. Which I thought was fair enough, being a special constable I have been completely honest with everyone to avoid these kind of accusations.

So, to the question, Is there a way to remove the lock (no matter how complex) or should I just sell it on eBay for spares?

p.s if you think that everything i have just said is a lie and I have knowingly committed fraud please don't start harassing me :)

The block could only be circumvented by changing IMEI, which is illegal in the UK (and many other countries) and therefore discussion on the subject is not allowed on XDA.

Thank you for the info, I was not awear of this.

Can be made to work again in 2 minutes but as mentioned above it's illegal.

Letter from the insurance company saying they have no claim on the phone . Take that to the network and ask them to unlock .

I currently have an EVO 3D and was able to install the Amaze 4G camera on it, will I be able to do the same with the Droid RAZR once it arrives? I also have other apps like the pure Gingerbread keyboard and gallery installed, will these work on the RAZR? Thanks for any help
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
As long as what you're trying to install isn't framework dependant, it may work. But, if it is htc sense based, you'll run into trouble.

This The First Time I Flash My Device

Accidentally

I Checked On [ Phone Efs Clear ] in [ Odin Multidownloader ]

I Guess If You Flash Your Phone With Another Phone Efs Backup

You Will Get The Same Imei Of The Phone

But The Phone Maybe Work Good
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] twistergear:
It will work, but, both phones will have the same IMEI #. That's the reason why no one will share their efs folder (files).

The best way for you guys is to send your phones to the service centers, so they can restore your own original imei numbers.

How long does it typically take to complete the flash...Odin has been working for about 15 min now and the last message in the message list is...

<ID:0/006> SetupConnection

I am trying to flash the all in one ep4d rom...

Paitence is not my style...lol...
[Verizon Droid Charge] junksecret:
Well, it could take 15 mins, but you would see some progress of the green "progress bar" under the top left box. The first steps seem slowest to me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bruisbe:
I just hot home from dinner and this is still the screen I get.

My Odin screen has been like this for the past 2 hours...
[Verizon Droid Charge] Danzanzio:
Is there any you're of loading bar on your phone? From the looks of it nothing is loading on the Odin screen
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bruisbe:
No on my phone it is just showing the yellow triangle with the android dude and says Downloading under it...
[Verizon Droid Charge] flyinj54:
Try another USB port on you're computer..are you using Front USB port? Also try using Odin 1.82 instead of 1.85

Sent from my SCH-I510
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bruisbe:
Will it hurt to unplug my phone since the process was started...and yes I was using a front USB port..
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
It looks like it never actually started to flash anything, so it shouldn't hurt a thing. It's actually incredibly hard to actually brick a Charge, short of flashing a firmware file from a different phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bruisbe:
I kept the battary in to keep it in recovery mode...:)...Trying Odin 1.82 now...but still looks like it is giving me the same error even in the USB port on the back of my computer...SIGH...
[Verizon Droid Charge] flyinj54:
Hmm and u do have the Samsung usb drivers installed correct? Typically you want to use a rear USB port to flash. Honestly if none of the USB Ports are working I would install the usb drivers to another PC install Odin enter download mode and try again...seems like is having problems communicating through your USB port

Sent from my SCH-I510
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bruisbe:
Yeah...they are installed...It auto installed when I hooked the phone into the computer...

I tried to reinstall and it said they were already installed so I know there are there...

Im seriously afraid to restart this thing in fear it wiped something and is not going to reboot correctly.
[Verizon Droid Charge] flyinj54:
I think you will be fine reason being is that your flash never began on the phone. Files should be left untouched. I would close odin, remove battery, place phone back into download mode by plugging in the usb while holding down the volume down button and then put your battery in once download mode is shown restart odin v1.82 try again. You may also try to redownload the ep4d all in one file. File corruption is also a possibility

Awesome glad to hear!
[XPERIA X10 General] romasalah:
Hi guys I've been using X10 for enough time now -nearly 8 months- and want to change

I have three offers now

Infuse 4G

LG G2x (+25$)

Atrix. (+50$)

I'm asking you what wud u prefer in terms of Hardware,performance.,Style and UI and most importantly "development"?

Sorry I'm asking here cause here are the members I trust.want 2 know ur opinions pls..

Omar,
[XPERIA X10 General] hon kin:
My favorite is atrix. 1Ghz Tegra 2 paired with 1Gb Ram is awesome, and the qHD screen it higher density too. Just for your info, it has a firgerprint scanner too!

And i think its official CM support is on the way too.

While G2x has the same processor, 512Mb ram but with official CM support.

I planning to get myself atrix next year though XD
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
yeah between those three definitely atrix
[XPERIA X10 General] romasalah:
Thanks.it's unlocked to work with my GSM band in egypt....will I need to reunlock the SIM each time. I flash ROM/Kernel or bootloader?

Also to be sure that my budget can handle it ..what comes after atrix?
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
no you only need to sum unlock once..

What do you mean what comes after it?

Droid razr is already out
[XPERIA X10 General] negrobembon:
I wonder why infuse doesnt get recommended? Good specs awesome screen etc
[XPERIA X10 General] romasalah:
No sorry, I meant if I can't buy atrix should I choose G2x or infuse?

Also in that thread about 2012 line of SE I saw a comparison shows that OMAP4 is better than tegra2 terms performance & games.

Would that mean that optimus 3D is better than atrix? -they have the same price here-
[XPERIA X10 General] romasalah:
I think because of the only one core & big screen which consumes more battery.

but also it's 1.2GHz 16GB and the cheapest.so it's in!!
[XPERIA X10 General] hon kin:
G2x then, because 2 is better than 1[nah not that song from BLG]

Duo core!
[XPERIA X10 General] romasalah:
Yea...right!!! But how about "3" ? Optimus 3D is better than atrix? Inly 512 RAM but I've read that OMAP4 chipsets is more powerful than tegra2
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
only due to current non threaded programming.
[XPERIA X10 General] romasalah:
Sorry!! Don't undetstand
[XPERIA X10 General] romasalah:
Ok...It's almost settled..for low budget...Infuse 4G but for a higher one Atrix or optimus 3D!! Which one do you recommended?
[XPERIA X10 General] negrobembon:
Well infuse has good specs for being the cheaper but if can afford more without problems get the atrix

In my case would be the infuse(4g phone with a ginormous super amoled screen) but atrix is better in the long road
[XPERIA X10 General] keyed911:
atrix for me,then if you cant get it go for g2x
[XPERIA X10 General] hon kin:
Atrix! believe me, you will be surprised by its raw processing power...
[XPERIA X10 General] romasalah:
So u guys don't prefer optimus 3D? I saw a video on youtube atrix vs optimus 3D and the latter was much faster
[XPERIA X10 General] hon kin:
i'll saw both are equally good, but the 1GB ram in Atrix is a not match for 3D. 1Gb is more future proof.
[XPERIA X10 General] dante-fu:
guys, I am also considering Atrix, LG O2X and Xperia Arc. I can get these for the same price.

I use my phone mostly for browsing the web and reading the RSS. have anyone of X10 users seen the pentile display of Atrix? Have read that the fonts are not always clear, depending on the background.

Atrix is winning as the android phone with the best battery life (source) but I fear that the display would be a downgrade.

Thanks.

P.S.: sorry for hijacking the thread, but I think this is on topic and useful for OP.
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
I've used it and the display was fine..

Better than x10 that's for sure.

Not as good as sgs2 obviously but still good..

In that list definitely don't buy arc, single core vs dual core? Easy decision
[XPERIA X10 General] negrobembon:
Ive used the optimus 3d and its pretty cool, but its a gimmick used to burst the price to crazy levels(costs 980$ here)

I dont know how much its for u
[XPERIA X10 General] romasalah:
I'll buy it from UAE the same price as atrix... about 350$ the issue here that we depend on raw spec. Only so I need know more about user experience..MY Biggest problem is the 512Mb RAM. You know x10i also has 512MB but has only 280 user available...
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
no it doesn't lol

384mb..
[XPERIA X10 General] romasalah:
I think it's enough + more will be free in cm7 thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] hon kin:
Isnt the clarity of font depends on ppi? Atrix has a higher ppi i think, as it has a qHD screen.
[XPERIA X10 General] negrobembon:
Give me some of what ur smoking
[XPERIA X10 General] romasalah:
Hehe..just finished it ;)

I meant in spec. Pages you see x10i has 512MB. But actually it's 280MB..still smoking?! :D
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
for the second time, no...

384mb is what x10 has
[XPERIA X10 General] romasalah:
So where's the 100MB difference? Reserved for system?
[XPERIA X10 General] hon kin:
Correct. The android main core system. My LG has the 'true' 512mb, but only 418mb available, and even i kill all task excessively after a reboot trying to get max free ram, i only manage to get 300mb. Realize the importance of RAM?
[XPERIA X10 General] romasalah:
Yeah of course...
[XPERIA X10 General] bolillo:
Buy the atrix and you will have the only android phone with a figerprint scanner. But the 3d is just 3d so what, it ain't a fingerprint scanner.
[XPERIA X10 General] romasalah:
I think u care more for 3D..but anyway its not the cause to choose O3D The main causes are 1.omap4 chipset which has NEON also GPU is better than Nvidia's -clocked at 300mhz-.

2.market here I'm egypt will consider a 3D phone,you know more than fingerprint scan -although both LG & Motorola here very little support here- so if I want to sell it after 6 or 7 months it won't be a lose as my x10i will
[XPERIA X10 General] bolillo:
My real honest opinion just wait for quadcore and keep using ur x10 until that time comes
[XPERIA X10 General] dude772:
Or at least hold out until the next "wave" of devices is released. Personally I upgraded from the x10 to the atrix in march and love it! As far as I am concerned nothing can beat it yet.

Yea slightly faster cpus, nothing really needs that speed quite yet.

Nothings got more ram(to my knowledge)

theres all kinds of oem docks that work great(I have them all, doubles for the car dock)

and the best part is the fingerprint sensor!!!

I liked my atrix so much that when I lost my first one on vacation I got another one once I got back.

I dont plan to get something else until theres a device that trumps my atrix like the atrix did to the x10.
[XPERIA X10 General] romasalah:
I finally chose LG thrill...i'll buy it from outside Egypt...use it for a while -try 3D,CPU & so on- then buy with a higher price LOL .right now thinking of a sensation XE or MOTORAZR with almost no difference in price. i used my x10i for 8 months then sold it for about 75%. DON'T want to do this again.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TipTopFlipFlop:
Hi all im trying to use my GPS on navigation and it doesnt seem to be working one bit i even downloaded a gps app and that wasnt picking it up also any idea's what's wrong?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Dyskmaster:
EDIT: the only real GPS dead zones are underground and on a very rare occurence when your time and date aren't synchronized with that of the GPS sattelite. Other then that, have you tried to enable GPS in settings (would be weird if it was disabled by default). It also matters if you have a data connection when using some apps (I have never gotten google maps to show me where I am when I have no data).

Hope some of this is useful to you :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TipTopFlipFlop:
Thank's for the reply the GPS is enabled still no luck,you cant get data on the Galaxy Player anyway i think.

Other people must be having this problem too the thread has had about 200 view's does anyone know anything about this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] v_lestat:
By data connection he means a wifi connection.

GPS uses data always. So it needs a data stream to get and use location services and maps.

On a phone it uses cellular or wifi but on an ipod style device or the galaxy player it needs wifi.

Without wifi it will never work unless your gps config files are modified; which is something i learned when trying to get the Acer Iconia GPS to work. And even then its probably not going to work.

Turn on wifi. I bet it works.

You now may be thinking "then what good is gps when i do not have a data connection!!?" - and my answer is exactly!!!

Gps on these devices is a gimmick and really only works when wifi is available.

True gps like a tom tom device doesnt need a wifi connection because it uses the gps link iyself for the limited data it needs plus the maps are built in.

On the galaxy player and phones the maps are downloaded at needed because they are hundreds of megs .
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] gotok:
The Galaxy Player works fine as a standalone GPS without need of a wifi connection if you have the right kind of app. I use Sygic but there are several others. You download maps from Sygic to your player so they are available on your device. Works fine on my 5" Galaxy Player. Also there are apps like speedometers which use the GPS and work fine without a wifi connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ADR USR:
I use Sygic. And also use pre recorded areas in Google Maps when I need it. No need to WI-FI, etc..

It is a good GPS 5 ".

In fact, very good.

Until now no problems experienced with GPS. If you do not connect may be related to your area.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] MervinMinky:
The GPS technology works perfectly fine without data connection. To speed up the first fix, aGPS was developped and uses a data connection when available, but data connection is not mandatory. It's what is used in most if not all smartphones (search for "assisted gps" in wikipedia).

Data connection are required by some navigation software because they need to download the maps or for some obscure reasons. It's the case with google navigation for example.

But you can use a software that doesn't require data connection and store all its map on the device and only uses the GPS signal to do the fix, as gotok pointed out correctly. An android device with a good navigation software is no different than what you call a "true gps like tomtom".

I think you just don't make the difference between GPS (the technology) and navigation software.

I agree that the samsung S wifi's GPS capabilities are not very useful "out of the box" with the limitations of google navigation, but it can work perfectly fine with a good software. Don't blame this device (or any other one) for the shortcomings of google navigation and some other software.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] greenplastic:
The software is definitely an issue. The SGP i got for christmas couldn't utilize its GPS at all. Regardless of what app tried to use GPS location services, i always got a location error (E.G. Location unavailable at this time.) After doing a little searching, i found that someone had an app that fixed a similar problem. I downloaded "GPS Status & Toolbox" and let it run. Its primary use is a compass and getting information about location, but after i opened it and let it download GPS configuration information, everything worked perfectly. Maps showed where i was, Facebook gave me nearby locations and so on.

Dont know if everyone figured this out already or not, but after reading over most of the thread, i didn't see a definitive solution. Just thought I'd share what i had found. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
Data connection is never "mandatory" but with some GPS chipsets, it effectively is.

Some chipsets are so crippled they are almost never able to get a lock without assistance.

See the original GalaxyS phones as one example.

The Infuse is improved but not much better.

The Galaxy S II is VERY good at standalone operation.

Galaxy Players - ???, no clue
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] markr041:
The GPS works fine, without wifi, on the Galaxy Player 5.0. To test it, get GPS Test (free). Of all the devices I have ever had with GPS (including Nokia phones, LG Android and HTC phones, Garmin) the GPS is the fastest I have experienced. Locks indoors and on moving trains very fast.

I use CoPilot mapping and navigation program and it works great.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jlg234:
I use "Mapdroid" (Free) and "Navdroid" (purchased) and both work great as stand-alone apps. The maps are open source maps and can be had for pretty much anywhere in the world.

Just like a real stand-alone GPSr the accuracy and speed of start up depends on a clear view of the sky, enough time to builds it's almanac of Sats and how far you are from the location you last accessed the app ( moving great distances between uses is almost the same as being turned on for the first time). The same can be said if too much time has gone by between use (such as months).

The Sat almanac gets built when your gpsr is turned on for the first time and is used as a predictive way identifying which Sats should be overhead at the current time you turn your GPSr on. Four or more Sataltites locked in gives you a higher degree of accuracy.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wasya152:
so i tested two galaxy nexus phones right next to each other running same network using speedtest.net and got much different speeds. one was averaging around 7 mbs, the other was 10 mbs. That's a big difference. how could this be? i switched the sim cards and one was still faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] milan03:
Never EVER run two same network phones speed tests at the same time. You are effectively splitting the carriers bandwidth coming from the tower you're connected to. It's common sense.

Do yourself a favor and run one test at a time connected to the exact same server and then compare.
