[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Siso93:
hi everyone, i know that this theme is an old one but I explain what i did.

first I was on a KPQ rom then i wanted to try MIUI, installing it and everything worked, but today, since MIUI had no camera I decided to restore my old backup of the KPQ-based rom and CWM said me failed to install boot.img (or something similar)

So i decided to re-install the KPQ-based rom through CMW, it says installed but it doesn't boot

It is not stuck on samsung galaxy logo but there is no animation of booting

How can I solve?

can I solve through kies? or not?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
Reflash thru Odin. Dont use kies. If you still want to try to restore the backup, Try flashing the kernel you used to backup with and restore. It should work

Cheers:)

Dont panic bro just Reflash fresh xxkpq as pda in odin

send from gt-i9003 using android keyboard
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Siso93:
Only pda?

Actually I was on KPN but I've installed 2-3 KPQ roms and I had no problems

But I remember that in these roms if I typed ×#1234# it said PDA: KPQ phone: Kpn

I'm in the middle even if I've never flashed KPQ pda!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
Weird but yes, flash kpq thru PDA.

Cheers:)

Hi,

I was wondering how you would root a htc desire s hboot version 2.0.0002 with S-ON. Another question I had was on htcdev where I would like to unlock the bootloader on my phone the 'S' model isn't listed. Would it come under the desire or other phone models? Thanks :)
[HTC Desire S] BeSeanB:
take other phone models since its a desire s and not a plain desire.

if you got your bootloader unlocked u need to downgrade the bootloader

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1318919

and continue with

http://revolutionary.io/

i didnt tried anythign of this yet but thats what id like to do with my desire s as soon as i got enough time ;)

if youre happy with s-on you could go for the zergRush thing for temproot right after youre done with unlocking the bootloader with htcdev.

hope its correct. ive just started reading yesterady in here ;)

€ or search for the superoneclick. same thing as the zergRush but much more easier to use ;)
[HTC Desire S] deadphone99:
OK Thanks For Your Help :)
[HTC Desire S] deadphone99:
is it dangerous to do this?
[HTC Desire S] BeSeanB:
im no pro in flashing and all this stuff but as long as you follow the instructions there should not be any prob. if theres any high risk in bricking the device or anything there will be an extra warning i guess.

oh and one big nogo i learned by my friends phone.... never ever pull the battery :P

and you lose the warranty by unlock with htcdev.
[HTC Desire S] deadphone99:
Ok thanks is it reversable when the bootloader has been unlocked? Thanks :)
[HTC Desire S] deadphone99:
I have now unlocked the bootloader so how do i root now?
[HTC Desire S] BeSeanB:
if you just need root, check this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1390496

if u want s-off u need to downgrad the bootloader and go for revolutionary like i posted befor

€ and always edit your post if u need to add something ;). dont double post like you did :P

u just can re-lock your bootloader with htcdev but u cant go back to the normal locked. not 100%sure about this
[HTC Desire S] deadphone99:
how do i sim-unlock now i am rooted? and what is the point of installing a rom? Thanks
[HTC Desire S] pandollar:
The point of installing a rom is that they can be smoother and more customisable, they also get rid of a lot of the branding **** that comes with the pjone.

As for sim-unlock this has nothing to do with s-off or routing, you can pay to get it unlocked from ebay, Idid it yesterday and it cost me £3.99, so very reasonable.
[HTC Desire S] deadphone99:
would this be ok? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNLOCK-CO...ultDomain_3&hash=item3cc0e2889b#ht_3192wt_952

Could someone help me out & explain why my EVO's camera would be force closing when starting up no matter the ROM I use? :confused:

Any help appreciated!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LyndenP:
You need to come with a little more info than that....

What ROM, and are you using a custom kernel?

Camera problems are often a result of the kernel not being compatible with the ROM you are using.

Can i copy and paste ringtones from outside folder to system\media\audio\ringtones folder?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Pirateghost:
sure, assuming you have:

A. some kind of root level file explorer (ES File explorer, root explorer, etc)

B. once in said root level file explorer, you set the /system partition to be read/write (in root explorer, just tap the r/w at the top of the screen when in /system)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] H3rk1m3r:
If Im not mistaken you can just make a folder in the root of your internal SDcard and name it ringtones. Put all the files in that folder and reboot your phone. The tones should them be selectable in the ringtones menus

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KC Boutiette:
Hi, I am from the Netherlands and recently I switched to a new operator called: Hollandsnieuwe. This operator bills my internet use by rounding up every internet session to 100KB. A session is automatically closed after 30 min of inactivity. I would like to keep track of these sessions or at least understand how they work in Android. For iOS I found that whenever you close an app that uses the internet, the internet session on the network is closed as well. This would be a big disadvantage in the way I am being billed. Luckily I am on Android, but I cannot seem to find information about how Android deals with these internet sessions. Therefore I have some questions:

- does every app in Android use it's own internet session?

- is the session closed when I close the app?

- is there an app that can keep track of these sessions? And maybe alter the way they are handled in Android? For me it is advantageous to keep a session open as long as possible. The only app I found that can keep track of sessions is: Mobile Counter but I am not sure yet whether it uses the same definition of sessions as my operator does ;)

- maybe more general: how does Android manage internet sessions on a 3G/GPRS network?

Any help or links are appreciated! :D I already spent some hour searching these forums and the internet but only seem to find info on Android and a lot of different types of sessions.

Edit:

Oh, I forgot to mention. I believe other people might benefit from this question as well. I believer there are other operators in different countries who bill in a similar way. If I am correct Orange in Poland for example
[Samsung Infuse 4G] baareem:
Hi guys, this is the first post i upload and want to take the occasion to greet you all.

In these days i bought a Samsung Infuse 4G...i really like this phone but want to be able to use it with some special features such as connecting various USB devices to the phone and other juicy stuff.

I read that the builtin ROM is not capable of such this thing, and Ice Cream Sandwitch, witch should allow to do that, is not available for this smartphone model. At least not officially.

My choice fell upon CM7 LinuxBozo ROM ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1311960 ).

I rooted my device. I'm sure of that because i am able to use the root explorer with root privileges and the root menu shows up among my applications.

I then followed the instructions here ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1107881 ) in order to install the ClockWorkMod Flashing Menu but I am not sure whether anything went allright or not as, after trying both the methods shown on the guide, nothing happened (in the first case, the automatic install through ROM Manager seems to work, a message appears on the screen confirming anything went smooth but when i reboot i see the normal reboot menu, no advanced menu nor CWM menu; in the second case i tried to manually load the CWM menu by placing the update file in the SD and renaming it to update.zip, the update gets stuck somewhere saying something about a bad or wrong signature, tried it a few times and with different CWM update versions but nothing to do).

I then stumbled into a workaround to fix that issue by an even more manual procedure ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkMo8rBehHg&feature=related ) basically consisting in copying the "recovery" executable from the CWM update archive to the directory /system/bin and of course chmodding it to rwxr-xr-x and chowning it to the root.

Now the CWM screen appears but, as i attempt to flash the CM7 ROM, the flashing gets stuck at "Finding update package". I read here ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=821499 ) that it could happen sometimes and it's just a matter of trying and trying again... I tried at least ten times up to now but it keeps getting stuck...maybe it's not my case.

Hope someone will help me out...i really need that USB reading feature. Thank you.

Holding audio and power buttons for 10 seconds doesn't prompt me to the red boot screen if it was what you meant and if I read the instructions provided well (witch i didn't as i have no time now)... don't get me wrong. Just trying to provide you as more information as possible.
