[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
if your phone was "hard bricked" you wouldn't see anything on the screen. Your phone would act dead.

Your phone is soft-bricked. I know what you are seeing on your screen.

Trust me. Open the back of your phone. Pull the battery. Count to 10. Plug the battery back in. Put the battery cover back on. Plug the usb cable into your computer. Hold vol+ and vol- and plug the usb cable into your phone. Keep holding vol+ and vol- till you either see the triangle or dl mode. Either way, Heimdall should detect it as being connected. If not, you need to make sure the odin drivers are truely uninstalled and the heimdall driver is installed correctly. I don't use windows, so you'll need to find help elsewhere on that.

o.k...so...i dont know what just happened...but i was doing baseman heimdall way and while i was waiting for the oneclick jar file to download i was looking at the heimdall program and i clicked on the utilities tab and clicked on "detect device" and it found my device so i was happy. so for some reason i decided to click on the next option to the right which is " close PC screen"...i clicked on close and then all of a sudden my phone just rebooted itself and now its seems totally fine, lmfao! does anyone know what happened? is it because i thought it froze and pulled it out while it was still downloading in odin? and why did clicking "close pc screen" make my phone reboot? im gonna unplug and check out my phone to make sure everything is good with it. Ill get back to you guys soon. Thanks for all the quick responses to my problem, I was super skitzed about it! I really appreciate you guys thanks for your time... ;-)

I am developing my first android app, I have been studying javascript for a few months, and have manged to get it down pretty well, along with creating some fair applications with it.

This is my first android application, and please take into account that i started it less then 5 hours ago. Ill post on this thread whenever I run into problems to hopefully get some help.

Here is my aplication currently:

(attached)

nothing actually "does anything" right now, except the button its just a XML screen and a splash screen really.

Here is a project i did in JDK which i am trying to "Mimick":

The first problem i am having right now is that the background that i am trying to put on to my application is not showing up in the XML properties "Background" under drawable. The Background is saved in all 3 of the draw able folders under rec. Whenever i try to add the background manually with code i get this error.

Secondly I am trying to figure out how to send the numbers entered into the "editText" objects to the main java method. I used actionListeners in java but i don;t know here. No need to explain it i would be very appreciative if someone could just point me in the right direction.

Some one please help me

I am in india and i use Vodafone prepaid simcard. For some reason i accidentally dialed 007 which showed Ru/Kz below it when dialing and all my signal bars dropped and its been like that since i did this. I have flashed and put in multiple firmwares including stock after several times of wiping data and cache and dalvic cache and all the other stuff.

No one knows what to do. Other sim cards work fine in my mobile and my simcard works in other mobiles just fine. This is so dam crazy. I have also got a new simcard thinking that was the problem but its not.

Please please please help me. I am thinking its a sim association problem. Do any of yall know anything

Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .

Backup data first if phone is working .

Boot CWM recovery

Mounts and Storage

Format cache data system sd card .

Remove battery

Boot to download mode

Open Odin

Install correct stock firmware .

Still problems use usb jig to set rom counter to zero .

Return to service centre .

Thanks mate, ive actually done that.

Just today the Vodafone people said it might be a signal coverage issue in my location just for my sim card. I dont believe them and its strange cause my friend has the same sim and his works fine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolbuddyin:
Did you manually select the network?

Is the same card working fine in other phone??

and its just the One sim that is not working in your mobile or all vodafones sims are not working??

if yes just get a new sim card for the same number from vodafone,

Very strange problem indeed. If other sims are working,just get a new sim from vodafone
[HTC Jetstream] jstuart83:
OK if I root this thing and install custom recovery, from my understanding we cant completely return it to stock, yet is that correct. We would need the RUU file to achieve this and restore the original recovery and we don't have it yet from what I can find or at least for the ATT version. There again if if root it and install CWM I can backup the stock rom and restore it if something happens this should also restore the stock kernel basically what are my chances of bricking this thing. Forgive me I haven't flashed kernels or roms since the original galaxy tab and Im a little rusty
[HTC Jetstream] feherhollo:
NO!! You cannot return to stock if your device is from ATT caus official RUU for ATT not available anywhere on the net. Thats my problem too :( If you backup your rom with CWM you can only backup the system and data partition so recovery or any other is cant revert to original. If Jetstream gets S-OFF we can flash the rogers official RUU when something goes wrong and need to go back to stock. So I dont know why dont exist an official ATT RUU anywhere. Lot of people need it to go back to stock. I personally need to S-OFF to update my rom to Rogers caus ATT dont allow to update the Jetstream rom in the near future. ATT sucks to lock the ability of this device, updates, S-ON. They kill this device with this high security, no one buy this with this. People buy Samsung Tab or iPAD 2 rather then Jetstream caus iPad has Jailbreak and Samsung also has the ability to root, unlock bootloader and flash any rom you like easily. So hope developers can S-OFF the Jetstream.
[HTC Jetstream] jstuart83:
From my understanding the s security goes off when you unlock the bootloader which can be done at htc developers. So with s off I can return to the Rodgers version and restore the stock recovery
[HTC Jetstream] feherhollo:
Bootloader unlock and (Security Flag) S-OFF/S-ON is different thing. New HTC-s secured with 5 different Locks 1. Bootloader Lock 2. Security Flag 3. eMMC or Nand Lock 4. CID or Provider Lock 5. SIM Lock

When you unlock your bootloader, Security flag remains locked, S-ON. That is mine problem too.

Hope somebody can make the S-OFF. I can donate 25$ for it.

the truth

Hey man!

the Vtab 1008 is a decent tablet for what it is built for: entertainment and light games. Now, about your question. A custom ROM (Read-only Memory) or os (which is always android) can be flashed to the vTab 1008 as long as it is rooted. It needs to be rooted to flash a custom recovery image which is an unlocked bootloader, which can flash new versions of android to the device. The new 1.5 OTA update blocks root, and there are only a few people making efforts to get the tablet rooted. Now for the possibility of honeycomb (Android 3.0). The vTab has a single core Marvel series armada 1gHz processor with some decent graphics capabilities (we see this when it plays HD video without a hiccup). Most tablets that are honeycomb capable have dual-core processors. Now i believe that honeycomb WILL run on this tablet with some optimization including:uncompressed images,and custom launcher (maybe?). But before we can worry about this, we really need root on the new update. hit thanks?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibob991:
We have honeycomb!!!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superbeak:
Trying root...

hello guys,

Before my tablet updated, i tried to get ADB working on it but my computer hates ADB drivers lol. NOW ATTENTION!!!!! If your tablet has yet to update to honeycomb, PLEASE pull update.zip from it before it reboots! If you can get me that update file, i can improve on it greatly. Also, I really want to get root on this thing, so we can get cwm on it. Once we have a custom recovery, we can build a pure AOSP rom on it. I don't care, i'll resize everything, and get the vendorid files, and build a ROM, but we need root and CWM ported. Keep the momentum guys.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superbeak:
BUMP

Has ANYBODY PULLED THE UPDATE.ZIP????

Through a series of PM's I have confirmed my doubts, there is most likely a security check that is REALLY low level. We will most likely not be able to flash a custom ROM without the ROM being signed by Vizio with their private key. I've been trying for a long time with this tab, and I am getting exhausted with it.:mad: I have tried a custom ROM that i made and i get errors with cwm. Kaos420 has experianced the same thing. I have updated to 3.2 and root is no longer possible..........not at this time anyway

Hey guys,

[Youtube]REIKO HYBRID CASE REVIEW FOR T989

[YOUTUBE]oY0Yd9Xil_c[/YOUTUBE]​

Here is my first review among many coming for the phone. This one is about the Reiko Premium Hybrid Case.

I purchased this off ebay a few days ago and decided to do a quick review. I will do another in a few weeks to see how it lasts till then. So far its a nice sturdy and perfect fitting case. The only problem is the clips that hold the first layer together do not seem too strong. I would recommend to not take your case apart if you dont have to.

Pros:

-Tight Fit

-Good Protection

-Price

Cons:

-First Layer clips do not seem super sturdy.​

TO BUY: Reiko Case Ebay Link

If you notice anything I should change or features you would rather have me talk about please let me know.

Credit to JaY iZz BaKk for originally pointing this case out to me!

If you wanted to, you could cut down on that back portion of the plastic to make it allow your style of headphones.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itguru1987:
I am trying to use a StraightTalk SIM in a MyTouch4G. I have been doing research and trying everything under the sun to get this SIM to work. PLEASE HELP :)

I contacted T-Mobile to get an unlock code (which I have) but when I put the straighttalk SIM in the MyTouch did not ask me to enter in a pin (maybe because I have it rooted???). So now I have been trying this method

Now you can follow the following 11 Simple Steps:

Make sure you have visionary installed on your device and download this file:

mediafire.com/?gzaozcurazidh98

md5sum: 31560b0fc69958c2fbe444ce7a000a39

1. Now unzip the file into your SDK tools directory.

2. Plug your device into your computer.

3. Now open explorer and hold down shift at same time you right mouse click on your SDK tools directory. Select open command window here. If you are in linux (ubuntu) right mouse click on your SDK tools folder, choose actions, and choose open command window(or whatever it’s called). Otherwise, open a command prompt and cd your way to your SDK tools directory.

4. Type “adb push gfree /data/local” and hit enter.

Optionally, you could dl the file to your phone use androzip or something like it to unzip the file and then use root explorer to move all the files to /data/local. This would skip the first 4 steps.

5. Now unplug your device from the computer.

6. Run visionary to gain temp root.

7. Open terminal emulator on your device, type “su”, and hit enter to gain root privileges.

8. Type “cd /data/local” and hit enter.

9. Now type “chmod 777 gfree” and hit enter to make the program executable.

10. Type “./gfree” and hit enter.

11. Wait for the program to finish and then reboot into HBoot to see if S=Off. Also, check your bootloader version. If it says s=off and has bootloader version 0.86.0000 it worked. Congratulations!

So I got the S=OFF and 0.86.000 and I still could not use the ST SIM.

When I run ./gfree here is what I get on my screen.

Section header entry size: 40

Number of section headers: 44

Total section header table size: 1760

Section header file offset: 0x000138b4 (80052)

Section index for section name string table: 41

String table offset: 0x000136fb (79611)

Searching for .modinfo section...

- Section[16]: .modinfo

-- offset: 0x00000a14 (2580)

-- size: 0x000000cc (204)

Kernel release: 2.6.35.14-cyanogenmod-g9e5cdf1

New .modinfo section size: 216

Attempting to power cycle eMMC... Failed.

Module failed to load: No such file or directory

Can someone please help me figure this out? I would GREATLY appreciate it!

Thank you,

This tool didn't seem to work for me.

Is there a way I can check to see if my phone is unlocked? I inserted my ST SIM into my mytouch but it does not work, it doesn't even recognize the SIM.

Is there a way I can get my phone to ask me for an unlock code (I have one)?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Read up-to-date rooting guide, found in abundance everywhere. If you can't find - Wiki in my signature. It should have explained a couple of things to you.

You're rooted and running Cyanogenmod Gingerbread, judging by your kernel. gfree only works in Froyo. You'll need to put stock 2.2.1 on first.

And judging by your bootloader info, you're rooted with gfree already, because there's no other way you would have 0.86 bootloader and S-OFF. So unless someone specifically avoided unlocking your phone (highly unlikely), you're already unlocked - and that's why the phone doesn't ask you for unlock code.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itguru1987:
Hi Jack_R1 - Thank you for your reply and the info. I have been rooted for some time and that part was pretty easy. I also think I have unlocked my phone I just don't understand why when I put in a SIM from a different carrier nothing happens?

Are there settings to turn on/off on the OS when using another SIM? I was expecting more to happen when I insert the ST SIM.

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
When the phone is SIM-unlocked, nothing special will happen when you insert a different SIM. The only thing that should happen, is that it'll ask you to re-sign in to Google account at the first time when it has data connection - as a built-in Android measure of personal data protection. For the rest it'll just work as usual - try to find the nearby towers and subscribe to them, if found, establishing cellular link. If nothing is found - you won't see the reception bars, just "x" on them. If something is found - you'll see the carrier name on the notification bar when you pull it down.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kusje:
I can confirm that snowball does this. Nook is changed to the word hack.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cfoesch:
The standard bootanimation process will not work on the nook tablet. For some reason, they decided to dump the bootanimation into the framework-res.apk, and it will not load up any other version.

If the /data/local/bootanimation.zip exists or /system/media/bootanimation.zip exist, then the /system/bin/bootanimation binary will see them, and attempt to load them, but they will not actually DISPLAY anything, even though they are actually running. This results in a black screen during the bootup process.
