[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] finch8423:
I had this problem too after a failed restore sent my phone into a bootloap. When I odin'd a new kernel, it wouldn't mount, even though I had CWM. It wouldn't work until I odin'd a new rom. I used FB's starter pack and it fixed it perfectly.

Also, about the T-mobile contacts, it's annoying as hell because I don't have T-Mobile either. Once you load a KJ6 rom, use FB's debloater to get rid of T-Mobile contacts backup. You will notice a large amount of ram is freed up from deleting all of the t-mobile items.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
Also, if you are starting from KD1 froyo, you need to follow FB's starter pack to make sure you get the proper gingerbread boot loaders on your phone.

Your SD card may be going bad, is there another one you can try?

I've had the same rom for months and haven't had issues or slowdowns. It might be caused by a specific app you are using. Though it may not be a bad idea to go into CWM every now and then and wipe cache, dalvik, and fix permissions.

Just out of interest is there an actual need for such applications as android is linux and I never install apps without reading their reviews first. So is there a point to these apps or are they just wanting you to drain your battery faster?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
I've not bothered with any, however recently started running Samsung Mobile Security, doesn't seem to affect battery and silently runs in the background. Available via Samsung Apps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
There is no point to antivirus apps on android, your best bet is to watch out what you install and always check the permissions something asks for, and if it seems to ask for stuff it shouldn't need, eg permissions to send sms's or call numbers on something like a wallpaper app don't install it.

Using popular/well rated apps from known devs/using your common sense is far better than these supposed anti virus apps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sayo1337:
Just what I thought to be honest with you guys. I just wanted to see other peoples opinion on it as I've been reading on some threads people have actually paid for avg pro etc and i just thought what's the point.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
It's not worth it just for the antivirus part tbh. Market has inbuilt protection against known threats, which is all most AV software gives.

Maybe some people like the extras, like remote backup, wipe, tracker etc... But most of that is available free.

If you really must use AV, at least use lookout. Others just use the app name to decide if it's malicious (was tested by chainsdd who compiled hello world using a particular package name, then had it setting off avg...)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NTOP:
Do you have the link to chainsdd who compiled this list please

Thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Use Lookout or ESET.

There has been an abundance of Malware apps posted on Market and more and more are slipping through and then been pulled later so its best to have something installed just incase.

Common sense is your best protection but its best to have a fall back.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
As the error message clearly says:

file not found: bootloader.bin

Either copy the bootloader.bin into the directory where you have nvflash, or, change the ``--bl ...'' parameter to locate your bootloader.bin:

./nvflash --bl [I]/some/path/[/I]bootloader.bin --getbct --bct backup.bct
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lnz:
Hi rajeevp,

I misunderstood the error thinking it didn't find the file on the tablet, that wa since trying the same command on a win machine worked perfectly.

I didn't think it was a path related error.

Thank You

No...not the modem...UCKL2 firmware....it may work on UCKK1,2,or 4...idk haven't tested kn them...worst case it will bootloop and have to flash back to the Rom you were running...shouldn't have to wipe tho...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
No question is a dumb question bro...:)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tmease1:
It will run on any stock, deodexed 2.3.6 roms. I tested it on kk1 and kk4. I flashed the roms just to see if it would work or not and everything is ok.

Awesome...will add to op
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tmease1:
Hey Dman after about 20 minutes of running kk1, I got some Android System Force Closes. My settings and system ui were out after this. I reflashed all the KK leaks again and they all did the same thing after that time frame. I flashed back to KL2 and everthing has been alright. I would change the op back to just have people flash this on KL2. KL2 seems to be the safe bet.

Landscape mode

maybe in light blue bold (as in this type except bigger, obvisoulsly) glowing letters if possible. if you can do that i will be greatfull

also what you said about a new avatar, if you can, maybe say team wilbroy as well except compact (smaller since its an avatar) like before also bold blue glowing letters. thanks for your help and you have your 1st thanks on your thanks meter from me :D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThatBadAssMofo:
First off, I tried searching around and couldn't find anything relating to this. I found things relating to high temperatures and abnormal battery usage but found nothing about this being cause by a memory card.

Anyways, since inserting a 4GB SanDisk memory card into my phone the battery gets drained very quickly. What makes this even stranger, when I plug the phone in to charge, the temperature gets very hot (~48C) and the battery doesn't charge. I'm assuming it doesn't charge because of the high temperature.

Since removing the memory card the battery life has returned to normal and the phone charges as it should at normal temperatures.

I'll appreciate any help or tips on how to fix this issue.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
I would assume that the SD Card you have is faulty somehow. I would first try another SD Card to see if it also causes the same problem. If it does then it is likely a hardware issue and if it does not then you know it was a faulty card...

Just my opinion... Anyone else have any advice?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Use something like OS monitor to see if the media scanner process or DRM processes is going nuts.

It may be that you have some media on your SD card that the media scanner cant deal with and it causing it to get stuck, try backing up and formatting the card.

Also what rom are you on?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThatBadAssMofo:
Well this is something, I re-inserted my memory card and now the phone doesn't boot up properly. I tried removing the memory card and it still doesn't boot up properly.

Usually the screen with the 'S' that says Samsung Galaxy S II goes away after a second or two, now it stays for about a minute and doesn't even take me to the home screen. It takes me to the screen that says "To begin touch the android" (the screen you see when you turn the phone on for the first time and asks you to setup a google account) but heres another twist, I can't interact with that screen because in the foreground there are several errors saying Sorry! --- application has stopped please try again and these errors just keep looping.

My rom is stock android 2.3.3
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Your best if you don't want to have to format your phone is to use odin to flash your stock rom again (make sure its a non wipe package)

That should leave your user apps/data but you might lose stuff like sms's.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Is your phone brand new? Did you just get it?

I had a Motorola Xoom Tablet that was like that right out of the box and I had to Factory Reset / Wipe the device to fix it.

Follow the advice of the previous poster and try to flash your stock ROM again with Odin and see if that fixed the issue and if not then you will likely have to Factory Reset your device.

If THAT fails then it is off for a warranty repair or to a service center Id assume...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThatBadAssMofo:
After clicking force close about a hundred times (literally) I managed to get back to the home screen but I've noticed some stuff has changed, See where it says Phone Contacts Messaging Applications in the middle image for me it just says Applications.

Any idea as to whats going on here?

EDIT: I just noticed if I try to open an app, the app crashes instantly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThatBadAssMofo:

how can i tell my phone that the flash was good and not failure? i hate that error message and hate more the idea of reflash again

Are you using rsdlite to flash or moto-fastboot? A quick way to clear that error message would be to extract the preinstall.img from the archive and flash it with moto-fastboot/fastboot but if you're flashing from rsdlite it should be getting done anyways.
