[General Questions and Answers] abazz:
Search for a stock rom for your device in the XDA forums. They'll usually contain instructions for flashing. This will bring you back to where you where, an unrooted device. The thread will usually have instructions on how to root that particular stock rom, if it doesn't then find a version that does
[General Questions and Answers] awesome-member:
Samsung phones usually have odin from where one can flash stock firmware. Try that.
[General Questions and Answers] abazz:
I was going to mention Odin3 but as I only have an SGS and have only read about them I wasn't sure what phones are supported by it
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
I've noticed that activity has been slowing steadily in the Fascinate IRC channel so I thought it might be a good idea to remind experienced users and inform newcomers that you can also find or give help for issues with your Fascinate at the Freenode channel: #samsung-fascinate.

what custom ROMS are compatible with 902?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tucknology:
Eclipse 2.1 official release should be compatible, according to nitroglycerine33. Tonight I'm going to see if Kin3tix works.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bhp117:
I just install the eclipse 2.1 official on safestrap and its working good with 902 radio
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tucknology:
I can confirm that Kin3tix 1.0 is working with 902 no problems at all. If you need help try my instructions.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
Tuck, I read your guide. Excellent, and thank you! I wonder if you might be able to answer a question?

I'm currently on KIN3TX with .901 installed. (No Safestrap or anything.) I have not yet seen anything about patched files to use with .902 the way we did with .901. So, to get .902, I'm assuming that I'd have to hit the pathsaver route and go all the way back.

My question is, after updating to .902 and then installing KIN3TX, what system are you on? I know it will be the .902 radio and associated kernel, but won't the KIN3TX installation replace the updated ROM with an earlier version?

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] CaliTilt:
DHacker29 has ICS4BIONIC rom with functioning LTE radio. You must be on 901 or 902.

Check is tweets for links @dhacker29. Sorry, I can't paste from my phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Princesation:
which rom is better kinetix or eclipse ? or how about the ics rom ? is it any good ?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ronaldheld:
I have not used the safestrap system for custom ROMs so I would be interested in recommendations.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
I believe their is a version of liberty that.also works with 902.

Crazy sweet theme

I CAN CONFIRM THAT ECLIPSE 2.1 IS COMPATIBLE WITH .902 RUNNING BOTH NOW
[Motorola Droid Bionic] freebird_78:
I was on Kinex before 902 came out. Before confirmation that it would work with 902, I went with Eclipse that had been confirmed to work with 902. Since then, my battery life has plummeted. Android OS is now the main battery drain, where on Kinex, that was towards the bottom of the list, standby being the main. I'm going back to kinex.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] iNsAnEmOd:
thanks really i'll probably switch now. whats a good theme?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Adizero1:
I tried dhacker's ICS4Bionic yesterday. Most people (if not all) who've tried it are not getting stable connections of 3G, 4G, or both. I don't quite remember what exactly dhacker said when he acknowledged that there are issues, but he said he'd assumed 4G would work and didn't really confirm it. Just an honest mistake but whatever, just wanted to clarify that for anyone here.

Other than that, everything else about that ROM is awesome. :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Stories:
I'm pretty sure that Kinex (which was based on 894) just reported the battery drain incorrectly. The new Eclipse which is based on 901 actually reports the battery drain correctly now.

Battery life is about the same, if not marginally better on Eclipse (after updating to OTA 902) than Kinex was (after being upgraded to OTA 893).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
hows the battery life on icd4bionic ??
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
It was draining pretty fast for me, but that's to be expected from an alpha version.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] droidx1978z4:
I've been running the newest alpha of ICS for a couple of days now and have held a solid 4g connection the entire time. I know that results will vary, but I would recommend that anyone interested in flashing roms tries it out for themselves. Battery life has also been fine for me.

I think that a lot of the people complaining about data connection didn't read through the thread to realize that you have to *#*#4636#*#*, select gsm only, then cdma only, then gsm/cdma auto to establish data. You have to do that every time you reboot also. Other than this small hassle and not having a working camera ICS has been flawless for me.

[Verizon Droid Charge] psychic99:
Hello,

I've recently flashed to tweakstock 1.4 and PBJ kernel from Tweakstock 1.1 and imnuts kernel. In both cases everything is working quite well (1.4 seems smoother w/ some tweaks I did). In any case since I have gone to tweakstock my vibration events don't work at all. I use the quickpanel toggle (silent, vibrate, vibrate/sound). google voice (sms), k-9 mail, regular SMS dont work however the voice incoming does work (the only one).

What could be causing this. In GV I put on vibrate notification, and K-9, and SMS. For k-9 when I change it to 2 short in the menu it works, but not for incoming.

This happens on vibrate only mode and vibrate/sound. in GV-?Sync and notifications I have text notifications, VM notifications, vibrate, and light turned on. I toggled light (there is not LED on charge) and that didnt change anything.

Help greatly appreciate.

Thx.:cool:
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Messaging, settings, check "vibration"
[Verizon Droid Charge] psychic99:
Thanks. I looked under messaging->settings->Notification settings

both notifications and vibrate (also vibrate when notified) are checked. I have the same settings for google voice. It's very frustrating. If I manually (not using quickpanel) turn the volume all the way down it goes into vibrate mode, and I can feel the vibration.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
have the vibrate set to "always" in sound settings?
[Verizon Droid Charge] psychic99:
yes it is. I am going to flash a factory restore just in case. My youtube app is force closing....

Will report.
[Verizon Droid Charge] psychic99:
it seems there is a bug in my gmail account setting. When I linked my phone to my wifes account the apps work correctly, so I am going to reflash and link without backup (try this). Maybe that will repair my vanilla goog settings.

I read there was a bug on this which there was a patch for gingerbread, but I am not sure it made it into the sammy build. I will check when I get this up.
[Verizon Droid Charge] piizzadude:
I think I had issues with 1.1 and what I did was turn off all vibrations, reboot, turn them all on, then reboot again.

Solved the problem for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ronot:
Had to do the same
[Verizon Droid Charge] psychic99:
oh well. thx gents. i reflashed and did not have google save my settings. It worked. Definitely a google server bug tho. I will keep the vibration turnoff in my back pocket for next time.

Tweakstock 1.4 w/PBJ and ext4 is just great.

Overclocked to 1.2, changed smartassv2 governor, and now tweaking certain voltage p-states.

Too bad this thing didnt have more RAM...

Hi out there :)

I have a problem with my rooted htc desire. Recently i formatted my sd card (terrible mistake) Now when i try to install a custom ROM, it says

E:Signature failed

Installation aborted

What should i do? I'Ve tried with several roms, but with no success.

Hope some one out there can help me...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warlordxxx:
Hi you don't say in your post but reformatting with a windows pc will generally reset your card to fat32 - if you have deleted any partition at the same time then a lot of ROMs won't work best to use Gparted and partition card as required (different on different ROMs) then you should be good to go again..

Please note partitioning the card will remove any data you have so make sure to backup any data you have on there first..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Formatting in the phone via android will remove the partition, but windows can only mount the first partition so without using 3rd party programmes in windows, you shouldn't be able to format out the partition.

Just for a sanity check, have you tried toggling off signature verification in recovery? Might be the zip are corrupt. If they are, we can identify with signature verification turned off (should say installation aborted (bad) instead).

Or maybe the format is coincidence and all the zips you're flashing are incorrectly signed?....

Let me.know the outcome.please
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhussari:
Thanks I'll give it at try.

can you post me a link to a good desire rom?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmtsij:

It would appear I have fixed the problem, remove this thread if you are a mod and let it die if you aren't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
Over the past month, Divine_Madcat and myself have seen a steady increase of new users join our forums. While this is a good thing, they all seem to suffer from the same thing... they cant read.

D_M and myself are constantly tending to reported posts (thank you BTW for those of you that do report posts to grab our attention to something that needs attending to) and threads. We seem to accumulate a lot of new threads which are basically questions like "How do I root my phone" or "I flashed 4.0.3 and now I cant make phone calls" or "How do I flash back to Stock?" which could have all been answers if two minutes were taken to look at the sticky threads...

We are in the process of trying to remedy this and have a few ideas up our sleeves. When more develops on this, we will let all of you know.

Speaking of Sticky threads, those are about to get a facelift too. Instead of having a huge plethora of sticky threads, we only need a few. Expect some new sticky threads to go up that encompasses the same information that is already there... it will now just be easier to see, refer to and be in one place.

Good to hear, I always thought we had way too many stickies that just confuses people. :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SmittyRN:
I think there should be a test to verify that you can read and use the search function before you are allowed to post. And a probationary period where if a mod catches you asking a stupid question, you get sent back to the tutorial.

Though to be accurate, like my old sergeant used to say, "There are no stupid questions, only stupid people who ask questions".

Yeah, the idiots that CAN'T EVEN READ THE DAMN STICKIES and then whine about why they were attacked for NOT READING THE DAMN STICKIES are frustrating.

I demand retribution for commonly asked questions. I say when someone asks for something that's searchable, give them a CWM flashable zip that changes all of their app's icons to 100% transparent and removes the app names under the icon. That'll show 'em!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phoenix84118:
I like to suggest making the stickies stand out more. Right now the only difference is the little pushpin, which I admit I miss sometimes myself. Yes they are at the top, but it always looks likes there's a ton of them.

Some grouping box around them that says "STICKIES!! - READ THESE BEFORE POSTING ANYTHING!"

Highlight them a different color or something even.

Granted, that probably requires forum coding, which I don't know if mods can do (not skill, just accessibility).

Just my opinion. Take it for what it's worth. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skullunit:
This is no different than the sign on a storefront that says "please use other door"... about half of the people will invariably try to walk in the locked / faulty door anyway.

I've seen this same thing on literally every forum I've ever been a part of so I for one look forward to seeing what the "powers that be" come up with to eliminate or at least minimize stupidity and redundancy once and for all. :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] farleytronics:
A few things to consider -for a tough problem -

Moderators spend more time enforcing accurate post subjects. "Help Me" "I have a question" etc.

Close the stickies when they become redundant, off topic, or terminally "thanks", "that worked" etc.

A newcomer's forum. Those who want to help bring up the novices can check into this forum along with the newcomers helping each other out. Moderators can move posts that should be in this forum from forums where they don't belong. This could the "one month quarantine" forum for new registrants. Moderators could move posts to appropriate forums if the feel topic has wider appeal

A user moderation system like slashdot. slashdot isn't a question forum, but the user moderation system could be used for browsing over unwelcome posts tagged as newcomer, duplicate, etc

A forum that welcomes everyone and belittling of anyone for any reason isn't tolerated: hometheatershack. You will see newcomer questions handled only by those who really want to help; some members gently encourage newcomers to be more resourceful. The forum rules strongly encourage everyone to search around first. You will see the grizzled titan patiently answering the dumbass questions for the umpteeth time. Others obviously pass over them silently.

A middle ground like diyaudio, a forum populated by the world leaders in audio electronics. There is the occasional frustration at the newcomer but most just pass over or pitch in and keep teaching.

It is a tough issue. Just a few ideas from a long time forum user and newcomer to phone hacking. I've learned a lot from xda. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GalaxyMaster:
I must admit I am guilty of this. The problem I have is while using the xda premium app , the search tool doesn't seem to let me search a specific forum , it searches all of xda. It is quite possible i am missing something but maybe this is something that can be changed in the app. Entorpy thanks for all your DD work, GTG thank you for unnammed , red and m.c. ty for being decent and understanding mods , and of course miami thanks for the criticism.:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rhtufts:
I've often wondered why the newbie questions aren't just moved to Q&A or General and left for other newbies and slightly more advanced to answer. OR just ignored by you advanced guys and left for the people who want to help.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Infekxion:
I made my first post six months after becoming a registered user, I read, read, read, used the search and read some more. New users should have to read the rules and maybe take a small test on them before posting. Only registered users can download files or view links. Probationary periods for those who dont follow rules, maybe they can only view the rules during that time? Just my two copper pieces.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] adfurgerson:
I am on my third device and have just recently started to post mostly on polls or when I could answer a simple question. Never had to ask for help all it takes is to look and like is said,more than likely it's already been asked, also by reading and rereading before I attempt something I rarely have issues but it is nice knowing there's help here if truly needed. Thanks to all the members and developers their work amazes me on a regular basis!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Thank you for your thoguhts on this, but this is still a Developers forum first. Its not a place for newcomers to make demands and ask for stuff to be handed to them. Its a place where people get together to develop/hack their phones... XDA is just nice enough to make it open to the public.

The point I wanted to make about this is that although Im sure everyone is tired of the constant thread creating of new users all asking the same questions and refusing to read the rules/FAQ/sticky threads... I am tired of the way that a huge stake has driven between the two "dumb-ass n00bs" and "awesome all-knowing elitist" groups. I miss the old days of Windows Mobile 5.x and 6.x where you could be a new member, look/search but still not fully understand something and then ask a question and get 10 helpful posts. I think Im going to instate some rule here that all users who only post condescending and hateful posts will be infracted or warned.

Yes, that is a big factor. The mobile apps dont play nice with the Search function, so we rely on them trying to read more on their mobile device, but thats not a feasible response. The upper staff is also aware of this issue and currently trying to resolve it.

This. Along with the not allowing condescending and hateful posts, if a new user posts a new thread asking the same mundane question, if nobody responds to him (or her) it will just fall to the bottom just as fast as a locked thread would. Everyone dosent have to respond to every thread, so the dumb threads just dont get answered and they eventually dissapear... now if the OP tries to bump their thread and they have multiple posts in row, well thats breaking the rules and they will be delt with along with having their thread closed.

These last two quotes/posts are EXACTLY what I like to see! Its nice to have members who can read and search for themselves. Now they have enough knowledge and know their way around to start helping people. Thats awesome! This is the idea "new" member. Although, I dont want new users to be scared to post at all, just dont post stupid stuff thats in the FAQ. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
As to mobile devices - if you're flashing custom firmwares on your device, you're going to need a PC, so rather than post a new thread from a mobile device - spend some time reading from the PC before you post.

Using deficiencies of Tapatalk or the XDA mobile app (which is just Tapatalk...) is NOT an excuse.

No one should be flashing custom firmware to their device without IMMEDIATE access to a PC, especially since, in my experience, nearly every time I've seen a story of a corrupted ROM download, it was a direct-to-device download.

There is a reason why, to my knowledge, I have NEVER posted a new thread using Tapatalk - I ONLY use it to "keep on top of" existing threads that I follow when "on the go".

As to other forums like diyaudio - I think the fundamentally higher "barrier to entry" there (since it is mostly one involving physical creation of new objects - whether new circuits or new mechanical enclosures) is such that people are less likely to post without reading and doing some research. Here, the barrier of entry to flashing firmware is lower than it really should be - but there's no good way to raise this barrier to force people to read without also making things dangerous.

The fact is, people don't realize that:

1) Flashing without researching will result in them spending MORE time in the end fixing their device that they broke

2) Flashing without a PC immediately available to run certain recovery and diagnostic tools (ADB and Heimdall/Odin for example) if they hose their device is incredibly risky and ill advised, thus someone should never under any circumstances be posting questions about how to flash or how to root from their device. This eliminates the validity "but the app can't find it" excuse, which is, in my opinon, NOT an excuse.
