[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vester2727:
I loaded a build of ICS onto my friend's phone. She then decided she didn't like it and wanted me to restore it to factory. I tried loading the original software back on using various different "official" samsung builds, but the phone is now stuck in a boot loop. The vol up+ power button combo no longer brings up a boot menu; it has "forced upload by key pressing". The only way I can load anything onto using odin is by having the battery out and connected thru usb (then for some reason the phone lets me put in a custom OS).

Idk if it's just the bootloader or what. Please help. I can't afford to buy a phone that's not even mine!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diablo67:
Can you enter the bootloader when connected without the battery,if so it sounds like a battery malfunction,try a different battery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vester2727:
Tired a new battery. Still nothing...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vester2727:
No it wont.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vester2727:
The volume up combo gives me "forced upload by key pressing" the volume down combo does nothing. The ics build i loaded was for the european gs2. Could that have messed with the mapping?

Hello

did you tried to load an other custom ROM with Odin ?

there is the chance to get back the recovery menu and you can reset everything.

i have just exp with I9000 but there it was worked to do a factory reset, wipe all cache and you can try to reset battery related info also under advanced option in recovery

then plug your phone to charger switched off, when show full, remove the charger and plug it back immediately, and wait again to see when it is show full

then try to boot your phone with the new custom rom and then can try to change back to original

hope that's help

Hi Abantai

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gabib77:
I friend gave a Chinese MFU W72 (aka W1-GPS)... The pocketPC is working great, but both SIM's is "Radio-OFF"...

It says "SIM is OFF" and when I'm trying to turn it ON, after 20 sec of waiting, nothing happened

I was trying to update firmware using http://www.solonomi.com/news/how-do-i-flash-the-w72/ but without any success, with all 3 combiantions:

1. When i press the volume up+power it just open windows.

2. When i press volume DOWN+power then it goes to a screen showing "Downloading" and doing nothing with IDT on.

3. When i press volume UP+DOWN+power it goes to upgrading mode (using the bin renamed to k3img.bin to the root of the SDCard)... in where its says "read image file...", "beginning to check crc of file:" 100%-OK, then "Begin to update AP image:" 100%-OK, then "Begin to update CP image:" it says "Step 4 error while updating: CP is error: MDM load error." :(

I used both XP and Win7 (activesync and WDMC). With or without activesync. But still nothing. The IDT (which is opened and managed weel) does do anything than "checkin the phone". Please some help. What i am making wrong

The only chance is to try another firmware, but I didn't find any elsewhere

I there any chance to upgrade, on this "gadget", only RADIO firmware...

Can someone else help me with any other idea like it says here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Chinese_Clones_MTK6516 ?

For the moment I refuse to think it's a hardware problem

PS: This type of Chinese gadget loose IMEI if you choose "reset to factory settings" ?

LE: Additional infos: I'm guessing I have some problem with radio firmware, when I choose "Device Information" appears this:

ROM Version: 02.010.6 CHS

ROM Date 4/30/2010

Radio Version: The phone had been closed. Please restart (the message is the same even I restarted the phone)

A little extra security

Some have reported the sleeve (for the pen) on their case fits a little loose.

If so, stop by the nearest auto parts store and pick up a 2 dollar inline air blower or a pencil type tire pressure gage … snap off the clip it’s a perfect fit on the pen. That will hold it in the sleeve.

[Captivate General] salman8506:
Hello Guys,

Ok so i am running Sbamboo 2.1 (Based on Gb ) right now no complaints it has excellent battery life. I tried Serendipity rom(froyo) it was very bad battery wise and looks were not that charming.Miui(gb) rom was stable and looks were awesome but the battery life was very bad(the phone seems to keep transferring something while on standby mode thru wifi my router leds go berzerk when phone is on standby)

SO my question i have 2 day's off and wud like to try a couple of roms which can provide me good battery life + good and customizable looks if it comes even 50% close to miui looks wise it would be awesome...I have not yet considered any options but i need inputs from you guys :)

And also what would be the best steps to flash a new rom over a customized rom ? as i always tend to brick my phone switching rom's :D the steps would save me a lot of trouble :)
[Captivate General] leezrd:
I would change title because all developers work hard and "best rom" pits them against eachother.
[Captivate General] salman8506:
Suggest a title to rephrase the question ?
[Captivate General] salman8506:
There you go...now if u have an opinion on the question that would be great..
[Captivate General] BxingFetus:
I would get yourself a jig, it'll make your life alot easier when flashing back and fourth. Either make one or order one from mobiletechvideos.com. From there just go to the captivate development section and know your kernel compatibilities with roms, I assume you know of bootloaders and they play. KK4 roms are the most developed for the cappy and they are native cappy stuff. mobiletechvideos also has cappy rom reviews and installation instructions to follow. I'm currently using fasty kk4 edition and it's great good battery life, stock browser has a bug in it but all in all, very good. The kernel I'm on is corn 7.06. Bootloaders are rogers kh2. Fasty is very stock looking. Miui is very different and not many cappy roms look that way. One more thing for now, also know your partition formats, ext 4, rfs. flashing non compatible formats will soft brick your phone, hence the jig. if your familiar with what I've said, then mobiletechvideos will see you through most else. Plus, if you ever hard brick your phone, he will resurrect it. Cheers dude.

Try MIUI v4. For some reason I got better battery life as opposed to the GB version. I used for a couple weeks but switched because the phone signal wasn't displaying accurately. Once that's fixed, I'm going back to it

Update for gnote wont be announced for at least 6 months. In the US gnote it still not released. They are investing big in this phone with Superbowl ad and so on. They have a big market here and Samsung wont be disappointing the users with an early announcement of gnote successor.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] E_man5112:
It's not? It's not THE flagship, but it's still a Hero device for them. Think about it. There were so many ads in vegas about the AT&T Note, they are putting on a Super Bowl add, etc. That may well be more money spent than SGS2 marketing on all 4 carriers.

Granted, that's just US, but they are treating it like a flagship. Besides, when was the last time you heard Samsung celebrate the sales of a single phone that wasn't a flagship? Not often, yet they did with the note.

I would call this a flagship alright. Not the SGS class flagship, but not more than a notch or two below.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ian77ex:
Hi.

I'm the kind of guy who reads a lot, ask little. I only post after having done an extensive research. I need help

After reading over 200 posts today I flashed ICSSGS RC3.1. I was on stock 2.3.5 and I had to flash Nushor's kernel previously since I was getting the "assert failed" error. Everything went well but now I don't get good service at all.

I tried changing the settings in de SGS app, turned off HSDPA/HSUPA and I selected UMTS only which should work, but nothing.

I live in Cuba. Service is mainly GSM900 and a very poor GSM850. It has always worked in 900 net and i've been through Eclair, Froyo and GB. I think that now with ICS is using 850 because it identifies the carrier but signal is very poor or absent.

I guess I have to flash a new modem. I can look for where to get it and how to flash it, only if I knew WHICH modem will solve this.

I'm really sorry for the noob question. Thank you.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inshadesofgrey:
Hi there,

I have a UK WiFI xoom, and everything was working fine. I installed the ICS AOSP rom, and no issues.

The problem started when I updated the AOSP ICS rom, and the gapps, Now I DONT HAVE MARKET access. The loading circle just goes round and round till it says 'connection timed out - retry'. The GTALK doesnt connect either, it just says 'signing in' till it goes 'offline'.

Right now, I am on the EOS Wifi ICS rom.

Here's what I HAVE done so far to fix it based on ideas in this forum and others (trust me, I search before I post:):

- Factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik before every rom install

- Installed every single ICS rom there is, with the recommended google apps

- wiped data on the google services framework

- Installed different version of gapps

- Shut down the firewall on the HOME NETWORK.

It just doesnt work anymore. It used to connect fine to the home Wifi earlier but something just went wrong somewhere and i cant track it down.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggrammer:
you have any more info like does your xoom show you are connected to your wifi? do you have any other wireless devices and are they accessing the internet fine? are you flashing the right gapps package?

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
First, take a deep breath. It's probably something small that's causing the problem, no doubt.

Some of the EOS Nightly are more stable than others. I would recommend wingray nightly build #56 (very smooth and stable) with the 10.4 GAPPS flashed immediately afterward. First wipe cache partitions, then dalvik cache (in advanced) then flash the rom and the GAPPS, then reboot. This should work very well for you. If you feel the need to do another data wipe, do that before anything else.

IMHO, no need to flash stock images 1st. Just flash on top of your current rom.

Good luck!

Go back to stock US recovery ROM. Start again.

Also no idea how to fix it (as nothing previously worked), but the symptoms seem similar to when you haven't accepted the agreement that pops up on new google framework (?) version. Won't let you use market or gtalk.. has happened to me before.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iruiz2:
Before flashing, try an extra wipe: wipe system (in some recoveries also called "format system" ). I have been saved by this more than once.

Tapatalking
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krypt2Nyte:
I always wipe dalvick and cache partition. Install ROM from SD card, followed by latest Gapps and then use the fix permissions in advanced settings before rebooting. I have never had a single problem and have been using EOS Wingray nightly since release 11. I am sure the fix permissions is the key to this. No need to do a full wipe if you are on the same ROM!

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehras1991:
Personal opinion, I respect Team EOS hard work, but comparing to the CM9, EOS version is kinda ****ed up, CM9 has no kind of issue with running apps & games, & it has many many more useful options.

Team EOS release update every single day without any changelog, & with every update new issues will come, plus for many people like me for every update & Gapps we have to wipe the ICS again.

for daily life use, EOS never wins...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
No, you are not using EOS nightly the right way, then.

Of course there is a changelog. And no need to do a data wipe before each new nightly, and often with new Gapps versions either. I'm sure that the Kang CM9 is nice...some like it better than EOS some like EOS better.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3athsd00r:
+1 nightlies.teameos.org for the changelogs and absolutely no reason to have to wipe data unless you are experiencing problems or are changing major version of gapps.
