[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dale362:
First of all, After reading a lot here (maybe not enough) Thanks for all you have done and are doing..

As my post count shows i am a supernoob at this android phone stuff with this being my first smart phone..I would like to ask you a question in regards to your [ROM][2.3.6]SGH-I997 UCLB1 [Rooted, deodexed, busybox].

I updated my phone through kies mini with the first Samsung release of GB so it is not rooted and you say flash your ROM with CWM which needs root that I don't have.

Can i flash this ROM with ODIN since from what I have read does not require root? (Or am I wrong thinking ODIN does not need root access?) :confused:

I'll be honest some of the threads about flashing are pretty confusing when you have never done it before.

Anyhow... Thanks in advance for any reply..

P.S. I give you total permission to hit me upside the head with the stupid stick if I missed the answer to this..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
No.. you cannot flash with Odin.... my suggestion is to Odin gtg unbrick.... or flash the community gb kernel to cwm, then wipe and flash my rom ... it is only cwm flashable... if u use gtg unbrick, then root with superoneclick, 3e modified recovery to get cwm, then flash my rom. You will not be able to flash it from the official update. Good luck bro

Well look at that D, you got a thread dedicated to you :)

Follow links in qkster's sig.. I'm sure that he will post here eventually.. if not go look at his links in other people that have asked how to flash, or said they were stuck.. he's in almost all of them..

Poor soul! Now he is getting banged up with dedicated threads... kinda tricky situation D... its both taking pride in getting a dedicated thread, and well, associated headaches too at the same time... :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dale362:
All right .. Thanks

I sure i did not make him verklempt.. LOL

lol.. i hadn't heard that word in so long i had to look it up....:D

i remember a movie or show with mike myers dressed as a woman..i think??

and he always used to say "i'm verklempt" lmao!!

got it ..it was a skit on SNL... coffee talk

gotta luv a new guy who posts in the right spot! :)

i just upped your "thanks" count by 100%
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dale362:
I am gonna go this route.. Time for my stupid question for the day.

Since this will take my phone back to stock,Do i need to remove the sim card or anything and will this erase my contacts?

Thanks in advance

<<< Ducks to miss the stupid stick slap to the head..:D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
no sim removal needed.

on your phone, go to contacts, menu, sync to contacts to google.

it is 2012...we shouldn't be saving contacts to phone or sim anymore. :D

Hey Dman

First of all love the Zeus Rom. Have you ever thought of doing a Hades theamed Rom? I think this would be cool since i tend to lean towards the Darkside. LOL.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
No, dude. That's way too hellish.

We're still waiting on Athena :p
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Bubonic78:
Lol athena is the girly one right? Oh well it was just a thought since Hades was one of the main gods that thrived on order and efficiency.

I refuse to save my contacts on Google. I don't trust them.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
My contacts have been backed up on Google for 5 years... secure as fort Knox....point blank
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ElPopso:
My contacts were backed up on Google before I knew they were. When I rooted my "old" phone (HTC Desire) & flashed many first rom, I wondered what kind of magic the dev worked that brought all my contacts back. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kingman137:
I hope I don't get flamed on for this. I am having issues figuring out how to get gb bootloaders after I Odin. If I flash the community kernel will that give me what I need.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
no..use adam outler uckj4 1 click. check the dev superthread - see my signature line
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kingman137:
OK, so just to make sure I got this right. If I want a completely clean install, I need to use GTG's unbrick, then run Heimdall uckj4 to get the gb bootloaders.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
you dont have to run gtg's unbrick.

the heimdall will bring phone back to stock gb state.

you can run gtg's if you want...

(if you decide to run gtg's unbrick, use lost1's thread in the q/a for root and unlock code also..pretty easy)

follow outler's op..to get gb, there is two flash..the second one is for gb with bootloader box checked.

the third flash is the defuse kernel...to get recovery by three finger combo..etc
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kingman137:
Thanks man, us newbies appreciate all the help.

I'm not sure if I'm slightly ****ed or totally bricked...

HOWEVER, I have: ClockworkMod Recovery, CleanROM (GB version). Installed last night.

Today, I was flying/traveling, and my phone lasted 5 hours (HURRAY!); I turned it off on my second flight because the power was at 11%...figured I'd save my phone in the event I needed the juice.

Well, now I have a brick ATM because now there is no screen magic. The only sign of life is a little orange light that is lit for maybe 10 seconds if I plug the phone after removing batt/plug and re-insert and press power.

I don't know how this could go from working, shut down, then **** you I'm dead?

I'm totally stumped. :/

Edit: I remember reading a while back that if these 3.8v batteries die on an ICS rom or something, then they don't charge? Or something like that.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Have a look at this thread.

[HTC Rezound] troy7548:
Try pulling the cover off, take the battery out, put it back in and restart normally. My wifes phone would not start one day so I pulled the battery and then it worked fine.
[HTC Rezound] Imitation:
Alright; taken care of. Battery was dead but did that "adb reboot bootloader" command and was then able to restart via the bootloader and it loaded right into Android and charged the battery. Will be flashing Amon Ra shortly though.

Thank you!

there is a ton of hate over on Reddit for xda. I just want to say thank you to all the devs and cooks and chefs and modders and themers and all the trolls and noobs who make this place So awesome. I appreciate everything all of you do. You've made my phone So much better than it was when I got it.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Nobody on reddit really hates XDA, they just think it's very unorganized. What they don't understand, though, is that a lot of ROMs are personal projects which is why they are unorganized.

But people here seem to be pretty angry a lot. You can't even ask a question in a lot of ROM threads without getting flamed and told to use the search, even if nobody ever mentioned it before.
[HTC EVO 3D] VirusZer0:
Correct. In a general sense, this site sux, due to some people. If someone asks a question...people should give them the CORRECT answer, or keep their damn mouths shut...there is NO feasible reason to flame someone or troll...it's just juvenile, and ignorant.

Anyways...later!,

[HTC EVO 3D] gilbydakid:
I agree, if i have any complaint about this site. It's the smug and condescending pricks.

I myself like to see threads asking for help even if it's been done to death.

Plus i like to see people ***** and complain about bandwidth, like they're the ones paying the light Bill.

Oh yeah and next time do a search to see if someone already made a thread about Reddit complaining about xda. lol

[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Well, this sites far from perfect, like when you actually do search and all you find is a bunch of threads telling you to search, but once you get used to the culture here its not as bad as it seems.

It's like anywhere else on the internet, you've got to have thick skin and realize it's easy to misinterpret people when looking at text.
[HTC EVO 3D] Terepin:
Define correct answer. When someone ask question, that was asked two pages earlier and already answered one page earlier, he's an idiot. Of course, you can disagree with me. But that's pretty much all you can do. Because it's spamming. Because of witch many great devs left this place.

[HTC EVO 3D] mmilord:
Some people don't have the time to flip through countless pages of drivel to find the answer to their problem, or to find an update post from a dev for that matter. And you can say use the search all you want, but over the years I have found that most search functions on forums are too finicky and take multiple attempts to get to what you want. Now if it is a question along the lines of: 4g working? camera? 3d? etc., then yes of course they're an idiot because 9 times out of 10 that is in the first or second post on the thread.

When I first started lurking here, I was under the impression this was a community, but have since learned there are quite a few elitist jackasses on here that seem to think if someone doesn't know how something works or where to find something, then they should go jump off a mountain into a sea of fire. There are people that are genuinely scared to post on this forum because they are so worried about being crucified for asking a question. It is not the noobs asking questions that is driving away the devs, it is the general attitude from members that pushes them out.
[HTC EVO 3D] Terepin:
Oh really? Prove it. I can prove at last one kernel dev, that left this place because of constant same questions from n00bs. This ain't ****, man, it's real. And it's happening directly under your nose. So stop being pseudo moralist and embrace the simple fact that this place is being constantly filled by lazy m***********s, who want instant access to the "for this moment useful information" without moving with finger on their stinky foot! Excuse with "I don't have time" is lame as ****. Don't have it? Then stop spamming and GTFO!

Internet made people incredible lazy, without any desire whatsoever to learn anything, because there will be always suckers willing to help them with the simplest **** possible. So stop looking at us, accusing us from ruining this so-called community and look at yourself FIRST!

Thank you for your patience.

[HTC EVO 3D] maek_it_happen:
A couple years ago the mods enforced proper punctuation and grammar ......lol how far we've come
[HTC EVO 3D] mmilord:
Your definition of spam is quite misconstrued. I don't see how asking for help is spam. The problem is people babbling on about random nothings in the dev section, not asking questions pertaining to the thread's topic. Say what you want about the internet making people lazy inbreeds, as it is irrelevant. People will always have questions and if you don't like it, then let the "suckers" answer them. You didn't teach yourself Calculus or C++ did you? ;)

And time is a perfectly valid excuse in regards to keeping up with a threads status. There are noobs, flashaholics, and semi flash-savvy people that have full time jobs, a family, and other endeavors, these people don't have time to be checking up on their current ROM/Kernel's threads every hour of every day, god forbid they are following multiple threads. You don't check some threads for a day and bam another 30 pages of meaningless drivel to sift through yay! To be fair to your argument, yes a few of those pages are probably people asking questions, but the rest are nonsense about how awesome the new update is or how amazing their benches/battery-life are.

My point in all of this being; you are targeting the wrong demographic, it is not the noobs causing the issues by asking questions.
[HTC EVO 3D] erklat:
You're right. Idiots are making those issues as not every nab is an idiot.

Example: How to flash the recovery, I'm doing it via fastboot so it's not fakeflash but it won't stick seems like a legitimate question to me. Resolution could probably be googled, but is not idiotic like:

What is the best rom, what is the best launcher, what is the best launcher for ics, what is the best kernal etc etc.

Those are all idiots. The thing is, whatever people use at the time of posting is the best/fastest/smoothest/battery efficient etc. But to comprehend that you need at least basic ability of rational thinking. A thing one who opens those threads right under the others with same title surely doesn't have.

So I created an account on here a few days ago, and started a thread about using a non-stock dpi and tried to find some solutions to some of the app incompatibility I was having. However, the thread was deleted, and my post count was reset to 0. What gives?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Purty sure it has to do with your post count. I don't know the threshold but you must have at least I think 10 posts B4 you can start a thread. If I'm wrong some one plz correct me.

Also search alil there are plenty of threads about your same issue.

Search can be your friend. And keep ya from being set on FIRE.

Oh yeah and pissin off Jerdog.lol.

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

Also changing your DPI will result in some apps being incompatible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TriBeard:
Yeah, I kinda knew that changing the DPI would do that, and i switched to a different dialer and golauncher, and that helps a lot of the time. It was just the in call dialer that was hard to use and the music app FC's.

I'm not a completely new android user, I had a sensation before and got rather into the whole ROM/Kernel flashing and whatnot, but had to switch carriers, so now its a new phone, new things to try and new problems to solve. lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sd0070:
I have flashed a couple roms and a kernel or 2 and somewhere along the line my BT stopped connecting to my car stereo. I dont know exactly when this happened because I only use BT in my car and I dont flash roms in my drivers seat and test BT after each one ;) . Anyways, I'm guessing this is a kernel issue? If anyone has any advice for me it would be greatly appreciated.

ps. would flashing a radio/baseband have anything to do with BT, or is that just for 3g/4g/etc?

[General Questions and Answers] namelessname:
I rooted my G2 about two months ago. I'm currently using MIUI, not the latest but the one before it. Somehow, my phone got turned off and when I tried to turn it back on, it was stuck in a bootloop. I have a custom recovery image so I don't know if that affects anything. I tried to reboot into recovery by pressing volume down and power, nothing happened. I then did volume up and power. It vibrated three times and the orange light started flashing. I pulled the battery and now when I try to turn it on, nothing happens. So how do I reboot into recovery and so I can restore my backup? Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

So Normal browsing and downloads i get roughly 6kb/s downloading. But When I am downloading something that is used as a torrent (think of a Ubuntu file) i can get up to a constant of 40-80 kb/s.

I found this a little odd to be honest. If anyone can shed light as to why I can download via a p2p network at roughly ten times the speed i normally get would be awesome.

all speed test apps say I get roughly 80kbps or less which would go against me downloading via a torrent at 40-80 KB/s. The app is not reporting a false speed either because there is a few minute to half hour difference if not more when i download things via that and then test it on something else. I tried many different servers to see if they were the clogg and it is all the same speed at roughly 6KB/s but with any torrented file I get at least 40 KB/S..

When I refer to torrent I refer to open source projects that is easier to torrent instead of spend a lot on servers.... So no accusing of illegal torrenting or getting off topic please...

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atlana:
hi guys,

my problem is that i unlocked my bootloader with nandroid/www.goapk.com's recovery, an after AT&T's OTA push from v2.3.4 to v2.3.6 i am stuck in a "boot up, shut down for applying update, stuck in update process, take battery out, restart, boot up, auto-shut down for applying update...." loop...

now i know that "somewhere" in android is a batch command to automatically shut down and apply the patch.

HOW AND WHERE can i prevent the automatic shutdown after boot-up, so i can fix this mess myself ?

thx-a-thon in advance

cheers
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehcan:
I am in the same mess.

Update: Reboot into recovery format the /cache partition and back to normal again.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjrhoades:
Same problem here. Any fix?

EDIT: I think I'm going to try reflashing stock 2.3.4 via fastboot, then flash the stock recovery (I heard CWM is what's making the OTA update fail), and then try the 2.3.6 OTA again.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjrhoades:
Ok, I managed to fix it without flashing anything. If you've got CWM recovery installed, boot into it and clear both caches. That fixed it for me.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atlana:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] teiglin:
Do they make SIM adapters like they do for SD cards? I don't actually have a microSIM but it seems like it should be fairly easy to make a tray that you can put your microSIM in that would fit in a full-size SIM slot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
You have two problems:

1. Your iPhone 4s has a micro SIM. Note takes normal sized SIM IIRC. Without an adapter, your micro SIM won't fit.

2. You will need to upgrade your iPhone data plan to LTE data plan before you will be able to use LTE data speeds. Otherwise, it won't connect at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pj_rage:
Is #2 true? I was told by 2 different online reps and the in store rep that I would be able to keep my unlimited data plan that I've had since my iphone 3g?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
You will need the adapter for your current micro SIM to put it into your GNote. It will work for phone calls and probably data but not LTE. If I put a regular 3G SIM into my skyrocket it works or even a t mobile it will still work even though it is EDGE. (My skyrocket is unlocked). Just as when I put my SIM which is provisioned for LTE into my International GNote it works fine on HSPA+.

I would get the adapter and try it. Ultimately you would need a LTE provisioned SIM card for LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macked:
Yes you will be grandfathered into an unlimited LTE plan, but it is different than the 3g unlimited plan you have for the iphone.
