[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bigtom624:
What is the best way to return to stock to get rid of ghosts from past Roms? I've use Odin dozens of times on my Vibrant to return to stock, but I've never had to do it on the SGS4G before. Should I Odin back to KD1, or back to KJ6. I'm on the newest Valhalla Rom right now. I searched but couldn't find the answer I was looking for. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
I would follow the gb starter pack. And format your sd card completely.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bigtom624:
Thanks. I have used that before, when I first got my phone but I didn't know I could use it for this problem. I'll give it a try.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Vicious89:
best ways are to use krylons odin to kb1, fb ext 4 starter pack, heimdall back to stock kf1 by adam or heimdal to kj6 by adamoutler. Restoring apps with system data might bring back some old ghosts, better to start fresh.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bigtom624:
Ok that's kinda what I was looking for. Should I use the pit file when I Odin back to KD1? I did restore my apps with data, but not systems apps. I never restore the data on those. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bigtom624:
I wound up using the GB Starter Pack and it worked fine. Thanks for the info.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
never odin kf1, it isn't stock.

KF1 is a higher chance of bricking.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bigtom624:
I actually used the GB Starter Pack with the original files in it which is KC1 and KH2 because I couldn't get the KJ6 files to download. It all worked fine for me. Its actually the 3rd time I've used it so far. Thanks for the info though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
To get rid of ghosts. Flash a froyo rom without removing GB bootloaders. Boot into cwm, go to mounts. Format data cache, and system. (go to froyo rom because you can't format system on GB yet), then flash your favorite KJ6 rom, eg. AOSP style.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bigtom624:
Lol Thanks for the info.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Try flashing RaverX3X's KC1. Here's the link to it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1129933

Put PIT into PIT, REV00 (largest file) into PDA, Phone into PHONE, and CSC into CSC in Odin.

Do not touch the other settings and flash.

That pretty much gets rid of everything. After that, you can do whatever you want again.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bigtom624:
I'll keep that in mind the next time I have to do it. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary86:
Wasn't sure how to word this...I'm looking for an app/tweak that allows the home screens to reach the end and automatically go back to page one. Like it does when your on the applications pages.

I'm not rooted (yet) if this helps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samjbeckett:
No need to root, just update to the latest update using kies. It is a feature of the latest version.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary86:
I used Kies and it says I'm on the latest update (2.3.4) and when I reach my last home screen I have to swipe back to the first one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcadam:
You could just try another launcher, for example go launcher has an option which lets you scroll screens circularly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary86:
I could but I like samsungs actually. If they have enabled it I would like to have it working.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcadam:
You've got two options then, wait till your carrier pushes the update or root and get the updated touchwiz.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary86:
Ok, thank you. Do you happen to have a quick link to the updated version?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MamaSaidWhat?:
You could always use TouchWiz 4.5? It's the stock launcher with tweaks (endless scrolling, themes, 3D app drawer etc.)

I did a search but came across nothing, so forgive me if this has been asked before.

I just swapped roms: coming from Weapon 3.0 to the latest Eaglesblood. I was wondering if Eaglesblood had the option to change launcher so that I can set my own default icons like on Weapon or do I have to install a custom launcher?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Sometimes the screen of my Galaxy Nexus freaks out; it behaves as if I'm touching the screen repeatedly while I'm not. It does not happen a lot, but I think it mostly occurs after pulling down the notification menu and touching a notification message there.

I have tried to reproduce this behavior (camera ready so I can video the screen of my GN), so far no luck. Anybody else experienced this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Of course, as soon as I'm in bed and have put my camera away I experienced the issue again. :mad:

Will try again this evening.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eoinoc:
That really sounds like a faulty screen I'm sorry to say. I had a similar issue with my HD2 two years ago, had to send it for replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Hmmm I hope not. Since it's very hard to reproduce I doubt I can prove it in order to get a replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infernalman7:
It happens to me only when I'm charging the device. Do you use custom ROM? I'm suspecting that right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Nope, stock rom. I haven't even rooted it yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Finally caught it on video! It's not very focused but it clearly shows my problem.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5_tUcosrtQ&feature=youtu.be

I don't think its a hardware problem because I'm mostly experiencing this problem at home. Today at work I used the phone the whole day without encountering this behavior. I'm 15 minutes home and the problem pops up again. Difference? At home the phone is connected to my WiFi. Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Does it happen when you're not holding the phone? I've had anomalies happen before when the phone is on table and not in my hand before. Or could be faulty driver for touchscreen chip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
No, it does not happen spontaneously. I happens when I'm using the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stopdogs:
I've read some threads for other devices concerning exact the same issue. There were opinions that it could be due to the static charge that gathers on the sensor.

Possible solution could be:

1) discharge the phone

2) remove the battery and wait for about 10-12 hours.

Try it may be it ill help you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Sounds like a longshot, but I will try it anyway. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noobdeagle:
Reflash the phone with stock images and do a wipe if it still persits exchange it asap
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
The phone has a stock image. Also it's not rooted and I haven't touched the bootloader either.
[HTC Desire S] throbarik:
Hello,

I'm one of those "lucky" guys that just fried eMMc chip. I just wanted to know, if there is a way to revert the phone back to the factory state or I'm completely lost and have to admit that I S-OFFed and rooted the phone and hence losing the warranty return.

Thanks for any help.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
my brother also had this problem and his phone had root as well. We just sent it without the battery and got the phone back brand new. Took out the SD card too incase HTC wanted to show some dedication to finding out if it was rooted :p

Let's see what other people recommend
[HTC Desire S] throbarik:
But the problem is, that it's S-OFFed with alpharev tool(can be seen on bootloader), and it also has their own HBOOT(i think it's 6.98.1002)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Mine was the same!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] turt1e:
Should I install it? I just did an OTA update a week ago that updated my Flyer from Android version 2.3.3 to 2.3.4. So could this be HoneyComb or just another GB update?

My flyer is currently NOT rooted, and I'm afraid that if I do allow the update it will close my ability to do so. Anyway to find out exactly what this update is without installing it?

Oh... the only info given about the update in the pop-up window is..

"This new software contains an important security update. HTC strongly urges you to immediately download and install the update."

Thanks.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
What it the update version number and/or size? You can download it safely, it will ask for confirmation before installing.

If you still can't find the information I asked for if you can upload the zip file I can tell you what it is.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] turt1e:
Ok I donwloaded and I'm now at the "Intall Now or Install later" option but it doesn't give any kind of version number information. Where on the system are these updates downloaded to, and will I be able to access the file given that my Flyer is still not rooted?

Although I will say that I doubt seriously that this update is HC as it took less than 30 seconds to download. I think HC is expected to be 200+ MB correct?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Correct it's certainly not downloadable in a few seconds, sound more like a security update.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] turt1e:
Ok found it. It's actually downloaded to my download folder on the internal SD card, which is unlike my G2 phone which puts them on a system level directory.

So the file name is as follows.

OTA_Flyer_BrightstarUS_WWE_2.27.1540.32-2.27.1540.31_release_2192866n4gxzbfan0gt0go.zip and it is 4mb.

So this is not HC. Sorry if I got anyone excited. But now given this info if I install this will it possibly keep me from being able to root the device?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
No it won't.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spam_stopped:
globatron,

Will this OTA update (build version 2.27.1540.32) affect how we apply your instructions on upgrading from s-off GB to s-off HC? and the implication on downgrading from HC back to stock GB later? I guess the downgrade would get us back to the version prior to this security OTA due to original RUU is on version 2.27.1540.31?!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
No it won't affect the procedures.

Correct on the downgrade.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] oesjmr:
I have a Best Buy WiFi Flyer and have the update notification, however I'm rooted with S-OFF and do not wish to update. Is there anyway I can get rid of the notification? I tried clearing it, turning off auto update notifications and rebooting to no avail. Thanks!

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vince2008:
thanks globaltron, Got it done successfully, S-OFF and recovery and rooted.

[HD2 General] i900frenchaddict:
First, sorry if I post the kind of question that has been already asked 1000 times, I'll understand if my post is deleted.

here is the story: I still have an HD2, but got a Sensation almost one year ago.

Now my HD2 is still WinMo 6.5 with Android from the SD card.

Yesterday, one of my pupils (yes, I'm a teacher, and my pupils know I'm into smartphones....!) gave me his HD2 because his father kinda bricked it.

I haven't been using my HD2 or reading XDA HD2 section or a long time (I'm too busy flashing my Sensation, so reading Sensation threads :D ), but I thought I could give it a try to unbrick it, I'm not a noob after all (selfish guy!!!!!!!!!)

I think this HD2 was somehow bricked while trying to install Android into NAND, or installing MAGDLR, as far as my pupil can tell from his dad

So this Sensation can't boot and has this, written in the 3 colours screen

Here is the state I had this HD2, unable to boot, just able to get into bootloader with the message above.

I tried to flash latest Dutty ROM (because I was using Dutty creme of the creme at my HD2 time!)

=> through USB, flash freezes sometimes at 2%, sometimes 75%

=> through SD card: it flashes, says it's successful, but the device doesn't boot, back to three colors screen, or white screen with error message if trying to boot normally

I tried task29: full of errors, not better after flashing a ROM

I tried flashing a shipped "official" ROM => same as custom ROM, says success, flashed through SD card, but never boots to something else than 3 colors screen..

I tried factory reset, said successful, but still no boot!!

I tried flashing a Radio ROM=> flash successful, but still no boot

I tried flashing HSPL again, 2.08 and previous versions: it flashes OK, can see the changes in three colours screen, but no success flashing a ROM after

I noticed that sometimes, this HD2 vibrates 7 times quickly in a row, which my own HD2 had never done, and I suppose it's a very bad signal :confused:

I'm not a noob at all, but really can't follow every thread, and tried the search function with no real luck.

Is this HD2 definitly bricked? Is there something I can do?

Sorry again to seem so noob, I would have flammed someone posting like me, when I was following HD2 development everyday, before having my Sensation (and a Moto Defy for my wife)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
see the line ''SPL-2.08.00 8G XE'' (you actually mean 2.08.0000) well teh .0000 tells you its NOT hspl, its a stock spl, so nothing will flash.

run hspl 2,3 or 4 and choose ''2.08.hspl''. Flashing, task29, magldr, all that will now flash.
[HD2 General] i900frenchaddict:
THANKS!

how stupide I am (or too long away from WinMo)

I had tried hspl2 that was unable to do the job, hspl4 did it

So now I have spl 2.08.hspl

...but face other problem:

task29 fails: it launches OK but my HD2 disconnects from USB as soon as task29 starts its process

if I try to flash a custom ROM (the dutty one my own HD2 is still using), via usb, same, usb disconnects (it wasn't before I flashes hspl 2.08)

If I try flashing as a LEOIMG with microSD, it feezes at about 2/3 of the process

trying to flash a shipped ROM leads to errors, back to three colors screen with "Upgrade ROM code error Please try again"

...not to mention each time it replaces the hspl by stock spl

Any idea?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
don't run flashes from running winmo, enter bootloader manually, when serial --> usb, run your flash/task29 or whatever. (Gorget about task29, it isnt necessary)

alternatively, if you do run it from running winmo, then once the phone has restarted and the usb has timed out, simply run teh flash program again, and dont touch teh phone, since it will now be in bootloader, and my above note takes over.

not a good sign, but ignore that for now.

because that's the way to remove hspl, , flash a stock rom from sd. Step 1 of sd flashing is the spl gets flashed, removing hspl, the phone then restarts and tries to flash the stock rom, but now that hspl has gone it fails, since you aren't using the correct stock rom for that particular phone.

Try this, get the stock 3.14 rom ( filename will be RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship )

EDIT - you dont have a tmous, right? if you do, dont do this!)

phone into bootloader

use hspl4 to set 3.03.hspl

phone into bootloader

flash the 3.14 rom over usb.

report back.
[HD2 General] i900frenchaddict:
Man, I'm on the good way!

3.03.hspl seems to be the key, when 20.8hspl wasn't

While the stock 3.14 ROM finished to download, I could run a Task29 till the end, no more USB disconnecting.

Crossing fingers!

I'll edit this post once I've tried to flash the stock 3.14 ROM

Huge thanks to you !!!!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
2.x spl is not a stock spl for regular hd2's, only tmous, so whilst it does work, it does introduce the odd problem. for example you cant sd flash stock roms with 1.x versions when you are currently on 2.x.

SO, with a regular hd2, any time you wanna return to stock or are having flashing troubles of some kind, it is always worth using hspl.exe (2,3 or 4 , doesnt matter) to remove the 2.x spl/hspl.

For me, I always go back to 1.66.0000 using hspl2 before i even try to flash a stock rom. Since i choose a 0000 ending, it will be updated as required by the stock rom.

Fingers crossed it helped.

This isn't the first time two releases appeared to come out the same day, and they were both identical.

The question is - Does KL3 have CarrierIQ?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jvanlew:
Well KL2 doesn't. I'm not sure if that's what you meant Entropy. Supercurio's CIQ detector app didn't detect it in the KL2 leak. I guess we'll have to wait to see what the next leak will bring though.

They seem to be experimenting with things though. I'm intrigued to say the least. KL2 brings with it a launcher with no scrolling wallpaper and the colored square backgrounds removed from app drawer icons.

[Sony Tablet S] bcooksley:
Hi folks (this should be in the development forums, but I can't post there yet...)

I booted my Sony Tablet S into recovery mode, then managed to get the SD Card to mount. (Select option 2 and it will mount it up for you ). Using "adb pull" to retrieve /proc/mounts I get the following gem:

rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid,relatime,mode=755 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,relatime,mode=600 0 0
proc /proc proc rw,relatime 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw,relatime 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /cache ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard vfat rw,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,fmask=0000,dmask=0000,allow_utime=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,comp_uni,avoid_dlink,errors=remount-ro 0 0

From what I can see, this means if we can convince the system to run executables placed on the SD Card - we should be able to run a suid binary - and attain root (then be able to mount /system rw and add a su binary)

Does that help anyone?

[Sony Tablet S] arw01:
How does the system decide if a program can run as root? The location it runs from?

Is there a cron function in the tablets, or ability to add something to the init.d steps?
[Sony Tablet S] bcooksley:
An application which is both setuid and owned by root (known as setsuid) can be executed by any user and is granted root privileges immediately. That is how "su" (and other similar apps) work.

Unfortunately, i've discovered that the file system arguments it supplies are hardcoded - so whilst it can detect that a SD card is formatted with ext4 - the mount fails as ext4 doesn't support the FAT specific arguments.

So while we will be able to use this to get executables on the system - we can't get setsuid executables on the system, limiting us to executables being run as the "shell" user.

Yes. Ill help. I sent you a pm.
