I've tired fully charged and letting the battery drain for 40+ mins after it's been on the "warning" screen

I have Audi, I also have Device manager open, I know 100% it's never gone into recovery mode sine I started with this problem.

TabletRoms has been no help for me, there's been no reply at all for my problem but there has here and at MoDaCo. I pulled the battery as a last resort as NOTHING is working, I've tried all the tricks at least 2 dozen times, some a hundred +, including the one you mention
[Vega General] mitt69:
Well I don't want to teach you to suck eggs, but I take it you did use Audi to delete and replace your drivers.

And then when powering on the Vega you held the back button for 2 secs and then the back and power buttons for 6 secs to get the Vega detected?

For me I can only see that there can only be 3 other possible causes

1./ the back button is broken on the vega

2./ The USB port on your PC or on the Vega has gone up the swanee

3./ The USB lead is no good

The Vega may be unbrickable but if the back button or the USB port has had it then .....:(
[Vega General] mmace:
Yeah, tried it, cheers.
[Vega General] mmace:
Just come back to it after 10 days, plugged it in and it started to boot immediately, went to the warning face thing for around 10 seconds then rebooted, it did that 3 times (me pressing power did nothing) and now it's back to where it was

I disconnected the battery again, plugged it in with back button held down and it went straight into recovery mode (back button works, have right drivers etc). I started running Vegacomb HC 3.2 9b exe and it pushed files to tablet (system.img was last), the tablet then booted to the warning screen for 5 seconds or so and then went off and back to being dead again. The CMD box on the PC said it had copied system.img successfully and to press Enter to continue but that closed the window, nothing seemed to install

I'm stuck :(
[Vega General] mitt69:
9b never worked for me either, it always hung on my Vega

Have you just tried using modded stock v2 and then loading comb9n instead of 9b, that is what worked for me.

If you go this route then you must setup the time, date and wifi in modded stock before loading vegacomb.

Personally I have gone back to Corvus5 because I find it as fast if not faster than vegacomb and far more stable
[Vega General] mmace:
It does exactly the same with modded stock :(
[Vega General] mmace:
a massive thank you to everyone for their help and time

turns out it was the power button that was faulty, I unplugged the ribbon and reseated it and it's fine now!

Hi someone!

Please help!!!! I've flashed the sephamore kernel, but now it gets hanged, basically my phone has never been rooted nor flashed before. Today is the first time im doing it and it hangs i really need someone to help!

Please help someone!!!!

I've used Odin put it under PDA as set, but after flashing (I get the green light on odin and pass) it just hangs on boot!!!!

I'm able to achieve download mode!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nwsk:
Did you flash the right kernel for your firmware? What version was the rom?

If it was wrong, either a) Flash an appropriate kernel for the firmware, or b) Flash a complete firmware w/ kernel (Either a stock or custom firmware will work)

Option b should be a guaranteed way to get your phone working again.

Hi, I was using CM7 and yesterday morning when I woke up, it was stuck in bootloop at startup screen. I took a nandroid backup and cleared factory data options and installed new CM7.1 version (clearing cache or dalvik cache or reinstalling CM7 didnt help, hence had to clear factory data)

Now I have already used unyaffs to get the extracted contact2.db and contacts2.db-shm and contacts2.db-wal files... however pasting them in the com.android.providers.contacts\databases folder (using root explorer) gives me only 11 contacts instead of the 300+ it is supposed to have

I opened the contacts2.db file in notepad and I can see references to names and numbers in whatever sqlite format it is supposed to be... so my simple question now is.. is there any way to get the .db file to .vcf format or any other format usable by my phone ?

P.S. - No I did not use the google syncing feature or kies backup

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seriouslybored:
Put your contacts2.db into the same folder as contacts2-to-vcard.rb

install ruby, open command prompt and execute these lines

gem install sqlite3
gem install vpim
(path to contacts2-to-vcard.rb)/contacts2-to-vcard.rb > contacts.vcf

if you get this error

contacts2-to-vcard.rb:43:in `+': can't convert NoMethodError into String (TypeError)

open the .rb file in a text editor, go to line 43 and change it to

$stderr.print ""

I ran into this when I used it. after you edit the file run it again and you should have your .vcf file sitting in the same folder as the script file and contacts2.db

After some serious research on the web you are my true and only hero.

Sort of....

The only thing is, I don't get the vcard file. I just get the cmd flashing real quick listing my contacts. There is no way for me trying to time my screenshot button and get all my contacts. Screenshot: i.imgur.com/oXCye.jpg

I'm really new to this kind of thing.... I just put Cyanogenmod on my phone and damn god do I regret it. I have no idea what I'm doing. My backup didn't backup so now I'm just gonna have to live with myself. But I kinda do wanna have my contacts back. And I'm really proud of myself getting this cmd thingy flash before my eyes :P

anyways... what's next?

Thanks in advance

E: Ok Guys.... Problem solved.

If you open the File with Ruby CUI it will just flash real quick, but if you open it in cmd the list will just show and it won't disappear.

Then the > contacts.vcf part behind it and done.

Now I understand what I did and I fully understand you comment, and I feel stupid.

Thanks again

LMAO n00b :) Try running "cmd" in Windows, and read about the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_Prompt

Don't mean to be mean, but if you haven't heard of the command prompt, perhaps installing a custom *Linux*-based ROM on your phone isn't the thing to do for you, until you learn the ropes a bit.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimecounty:
Found this thread when searching for a way to convert a .db to a .vcf or any other way to import my .db contacts to my phone. I had performed a contacts backup using Huwaei All Backup, then rooted my phone and installed a custom rom, of course, not thinking that I was getting rid of probably the only backup/restore app that uses that filetype.

My solution was fairly simple. I found the All Backup apk but it of course wouldn't install on the phone, so I installed Bluestacks android emulator on the pc and was able to install All Backup on that. I then had to install dropbox on Bluestacks to allow me to move my .db to the virtual sd card, fired up All backup, performed a restore using my .db, then on Bluestacks used an app called Go Contacts to backup all contacts, which created a .vcf file, which I copied over to dropbox, copied over to my phones sd card, and used Go Contacts to restore.

More complicated than it should have been? Yes.

From now on, my contacts can stay synced with Gmail.

But overall the process took about 10 min including all the installs and whatnot, which isn't so bad considering I figured I was going to have to manually input my contacts one by one.

Hopefully someone looking to import a .db file into their phone's contacts will find this 'method' useful.

In fact, it depends. There are few constellations where you don't need to wipe. But, to be on the safe side, just do it. Cause Nandroid restore doesn't restore an image, but files, thus w/o wiping you may end up with unneeded files.

This possibly answers your 4), too. ;)

I think this means, when the nandroid backup is taken, it doesnot include ext backup file. Same thing happend to me.

I did some research on the problem and found a solution which seems to have worked for few people. However I have not tried it myself. I am going to do that though.

Summary of the solution

1.) Download Root Explorer

2.) Enable Root Mode/Mount System

3.) Navigate to /system/

4.) Create a new folder called 'sd'

5.) Ensure you're phone has at least 50% of battery

6.) Reboot and try the backup again.

I read through some of the posts, but I'm confused about the different kinds of resets/restores, which buttons to press and hold down and what wipes what. Everyone seems to have a different version of which buttons to press, in varying combinations, to accomplish different things.

I'd like not to have to re-root this thing, so I'm hoping not to have to wipe everything out.

Keep in mind that that is with a completely unloaded tower...

Sprint only has 10 mhz of spare spectrum in the PCS band, so before Clearwire or Lightsquared (if it gets FCC approval) roll out LTE, or Sprint decommissions the iDEN network, everyone will be using this small slice of spectrum. That means that each cell will be limited to a maximum of 40-60 mbps for all users to share.

Verizon uses at least 20 mhz of spectrum in all of its LTE coverage areas, so I don't think it's likely that Sprint's LTE will be able to outperform VZW's in its first year.
