[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyber-mythius:
Hi,

Ive been through all "reboot" problems related threads, but none of them could help me.

I have rooted Desire Z. After few hours / days of using flashed ROM my phone gets to the reboot loop - with no real reason.

Only solution for this is downgrade - root again - flash new ROM.

I thought that the reason could be some kind of launcher - but this happens on all ROMS / launchers, I ve been using.

When I just try to go to the recovery and recover backup - it does not fix the problem. Wipe data / cache / dalvik / battery status does not help.

Any ideas? I am starting to think, that this could be hardware related problem :(
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoffmas:
Which recovery do you use?

EDIT: you could try to use 4ext recovery if you used cwm till now...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyber-mythius:
clockwork recovery - same problems on different versions of this recovery.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyber-mythius:
thx. once my battery will be recharged, I give it a try and post back.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyber-mythius:
ok. different recovery does not help.

any idea what coul be the reason?

Is there anywhere some kind of crashlog / start-up log? How could I get to it?

I got to the loop again after 4 hours of using after rebooting phone :(.

System starts - and crash after aprox. 10 sec and goes to the reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxWiz:
Might be an overclock issue. You particular hardward might not br able to handle the default oc in the rom you are using.

Install oc/uv beater and put the clocks back to something close to stock. See if that helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyber-mythius:
I ve applied restore OC.zip ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1207546 )

then according to CPU spy (market app) i have CPU normally at 800MHz where it should be.

now I am again to the recovered backup -> any thoughts about the log, that Ive mentioned? Some way how to manage crashes - any logs?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarroyo:
Try flashing SuperWipe http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044992 see if that fixes your issue, it's the 2nd attachment 'not SuperWipeG2+' you can flash this thru recovery.

When thats done then go ahead and flash your rom.

i ll try it next week as I have to have my phone ok during upcomming weekend.

Hi

I'm just absolutely confused with all the topics as every single one have different method .

I had my gnex replaced but it came with stock rom without volume bug fix. Been waiting for about half a week for an update but no updates. I've decided to root and flash 4.0.2 but I might need to return the phone again. Before I do so I want to revert to stock (everything) just to check if my phone will get any updates.

Could someone write small tutorial how to flash back from stock image. Ideally via adb or guide me to the right topic. And it has to be for image for the icl43d (or whatever the image number without volume bug fix)

Thanks in advance

EDIT:

Downloaded 7zip and now i can see all the files (bootloader etc.. :P) i can manage on my own now :P

Ok I'm fine now. Didnt notice that image was compressed in
[General Questions and Answers] drdevil44:
Dear all

I know this is probably in the wrong forum - but I need ten posts before I can post in the dev forums (which seems silly!).

I'm a developer with a Galaxy S2. I wish to create a highly specialised ROM for the S2 (for a particular need - which may involve custom kernels as well as image) - I have some questions that I'd be grateful for answers to:

1) What should I not do to avoid bricking the S2? Is it just the bootloader that shouldn't be modified (e.g. uploading a duff kernel will be fine?)

2) Can I build the sources from Google and burn a Google image straight onto the phone? I presume it will need Samsung drivers though - where can I get these?

3) Where can I find information on the PIT format and other stuff related to the 'image' -e.g. format/layout of the image to burn from ODIN?

Many thanks

Gareth

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda rocks:
I recently flashed my phone to RUNNYMEDE AIO V3.0.5. (Have used the previous versions of AIO and no such problems occur)

And Later I configured the Daemon Controller with the following values :

Kernel : snq V18 23:26:07 CET 2011 arm

Active Daemon : virtuous_oc

OCD :

Wake min : 245000

Wake Max : 998400

Wake Gov : smartassV2

Sleep Min : 245000

Sleep Max : 384000

Sleep Gov : smartassV2

Additionally I wiped my battery stats when the phone is full charged (i.e. 100%). Now I see my phone is getting hot soon & battery drains so faster than previously.

Can anybody assist me in getting me the correct Daemon Values / this problem resolved? :confused::confused:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deejaylobo:
TL;DR : Use Market Access and if Google won't accept your credit card due to the address not being from a "supported billing country", edit the card details in Google Wallet and use a US address. Thanks to Anomaly for sharing his method.

This is for people who live in countries where paid apps are not available on the Android Market. I used to use Market Enabler to access paid apps and purchase them. After stock ICS I can still see paid apps but I am not able to purchase them, always get hit with "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found". Also, Market Enabler's auto fake on boot does not work. I have tried clearing data and uninstalling the Market app's updates. No go.

Has anyone found a way to continue purchasing paid apps with ICS?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipaman:
market enabler I guess doesn't work with ICS. I use VPN.

Go to settings, wireless and network.

u should see VPN settings over there.

Add new vpn

select PPTP VPN

VPN name with any thing u want. Vpn server:-freemobilevpn.net and save it

The username and password is gonna be 'free' and 'free'

Go to the browser and type google u should see a page with a I agree link click that and ur set. u can now buy paid apps.

Plz not that the VPN is active for only for 4 hours after which u will have to reset it. And plus this is a free VPN service which I use every day to listen to pandora.

Hit the Thanks Button if I have helped.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deejaylobo:
Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, this still won't let me purchase apps, nor does it allow me to see properly find paid apps in the Market. Now, I get hit with "Purchases are not available in your country".

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deejaylobo:
Thank you for the link. I could not understand the last bit though. Can I ask, how exactly do you purchase an app on the web market if you're in a country that does not allow purchases?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aharen:
Once those steps are completed and you go on to web market your device is recognized as the faked provider. For example, if you fake it with T-Mobile the market web market recognizes the device as a T-Mobile device which means your device is liable for purchase :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deejaylobo:
Yeah, I see my device as a T Mobile. But, when I try to purchase an app I'm asked to enter credit card details from a supported country. And I still can't purchase anything on the web or from the app. Guess something is truly messed up between my account and Google! Thanks for the tip though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deejaylobo:
Update

I used the web market to try and purchase an app, I was prompted to enter new credit card details from a "supported billing country". So I used a virtual US credit card and was able to make the purchase.

My problem now is not spoofing the market. Using Market Access or Market Enabler, I am able to gain access to a US market that shows paid apps and the like. The issue is with purchasing them, Google no longer accepts my cards that are from the UAE, it will only accept cards whose billing address is from a supported country. My other cards appear greyed out both on the web market and on my phone. Can anyone confirm this?

The card that is available is a virtual one I attained through www.usunlocked.com Unfortunately, using this card is not very viable due to the high per-transaction fee of 50 cents. That seems to be an additional 50 cents on every app I purchase! Google's really ****ed me for trying to do things the right way. :mad:

'To help make you excited about buying a Galaxy-branded Android phone and encourage use of its Samsung Apps channel, Samsung is giving away up to 16 games through the pre-loaded Samsung Apps… app.

What games you can have depends on your phone. Galaxy S II and Note users benefit the most, with the full list of 16 games available on their devices. Such titles as Air Penguin, Air Attack HD, Riptide GP, European War, Trial Xtreme and Roboto are included, most of which are paid releases that cost a quid or two to buy on the Android Market.

If you went a bit mad in the spring and bought a Galaxy Ace, there’s only one freebie on offer to compound your misery — Air Penguin.
