[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Darwichee:
Hi,

Gonna root my phone now using Gnex Toolkit 5.3 and just wanna make sure my step by step guide is correct or not, and if i should change anything or not.

1. Download --> Install --> Open Toolkit.

2. Hit the nr 2 (install drivers)

(After completing option 2, is there anything that will popup, that i should be aware of?)

3. Hit the nr 3, and then 4.

(After completing nr 3 and 4, should i continue with the nr 6, and then im done?)

I would be VERY thankfull if you could make sure im doing this right. Thanks guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emhalwis:
Or after 2 you hit 7 and it does everything for you. All you have to do is after unlocking the bootloadet and a reboot it will ask you to enable USB debugging.
[General Questions and Answers] sunilshah:
Friends,

I have a few questions which i suppose many others would be facing.

1) I used menu edit to drag some of my apps to a new folder and named it Games.

I have some more apps which I want to move to same folder.

But i am not finding any means to edit the existing folder / add a new app to same folder.

Can anyone guide ?

2) How can we move apps / folders from one page to other in app screens ?

3) Also, while exploring options, i got some apps to a new page. That page is holding just one app. I want to shift the app from that page to other and delete this page. How to go about it ?

4) Is the in built system of folders good enough to organise apps in folders or it is better to get an app for it ? If yes, which one is best ?

Kindly help.

I think i broke my USB port of my phone :O

Im able to charge the phone

But i cannot put the phone in mass storage, i even tried to do so in CWM :o

Every time i connect it i get error: Malfunctioned USB devices or something

Now i cant flash or copy files or lock my bootloader :O

Any way to fix it ?? :O

or will i have to send it to Sony ?

What i was thinking was to send the phone to them saying i bricked it, ie failed sftware upgrade

will it work ?? :(

And i can charge phone using that data cable but cant use it for flashing or mounting SD card, it doesnt work :(

EDIT

: Re flashed phone, required use of another BB cable :)

The bottom line is:

Either the drops caused malfunction

Or the Ubuntu installer

~~My phonesworking fine now after full reflash

So it was definitely Ubuntu

What do you guys think ??

It working fine after a reflash, so m guessing Ubuntu must've messed up

EDIT 2 : Older USB cables working after reflash !!

SO ITS 100% UBUNTU APP which caused this ~_~

Can someone PM the developer

Try with a different USB cable.. maybe it'll work!

How did you broke it? I mean after doing what this happened ? software modding ?

Also try with a different cable.

I tried with 6 cables :(

It just stopped working out of the blue, i dropped down 2 times yesterday while charging tho :O

i tried multiple times :(

But,

I got the BlackBerry cable, and used it to flash back to stock firmware :D

Will relock boot loader and ship it to Sony

Will they know i had an unlocked BL ?

Thanks for your help mates :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ThilinaC:
Just asking,as Tenacius all of you tried Ubuntu app ? maybe that caused this ? bcos in my neo v mass storage mode works good even now,and no I didn't had the time to try ubuntu app :rolleyes:

>>It just stopped working out of the blue, i dropped down 2 times yesterday while charging tho :O

I am not sure,but yeah this can be the issue since it was connected to main power line and little electric short can do the trick for the port:/.I guess try sending it to the service center.About the boot loader you can relock only if u used official method right? if official method was used then in logs your imei will be saved means they will detect it.But here most of shop guys even got no idea what is root,boot loader(terms) :/ and since you are from our neighbor country I assume things are not much different and they won't notice unlocking the bl.

Also try with another memory card,just in case.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Aarush:
People at service centre of sony are mad! They wont even figure out if you're rooted or your bootloader is locked! If you give them your phone for some software problem.. They just format the phone n give it back to you everytime! They don't know what's root and bootloader.. And since you have hardware prob.. They probably won't check anything related to your software.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyboyextreme:
True here in Egypt they won't know what bootloader or all of this cra*p lol
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Qwerty123 \m/:
Im guessing it was the drop :(

But I can charge it tho :D

So it wasnt related to drop at all...

I think it was due to Ubuntu :O

Last time i connected Phone to PC was before installing it ! :O

Will i get a new phone then ?? :D :D

I mean they will assume its hardware, and say "Lets ship him a new phone" :P

AND:

I bet those morons* in the Sony Service center her have no idea at all :D

*No offence meant

the bottom line is:

Either the drops caused malfunction

Or the Ubuntu installer

~~My phonesworking fine now after full reflash

So it was definitely Ubunutu
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] oxwewe:

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishan_rulz:
Now that the HTCDev allows the unlocked bootloader, and stuff at their website, is there a better (read:easier, quicker) method of installing CyanogenMod? I had rooted my phone a long time back but I had issues and had gone back to Stock ROM for a long time. Now, I feel the need to go back to Custom ROMS.

Can someone tell me if the Google Market works well on CM7? That's all I care for, really.

Here is a guide I had posted a while back when I was an enthusiast. Could someone go through it and modify it in accordance to the new method? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=823625

Edit:- Now done Hboot 1.02 and unlocked boot loader, can't use clockwork mod update.zip :-(

I haven't yet done the hboot update to 1.02, but my understanding is that once you've done it, you can use clockwork mod to flash custom rom, the bootloader is already unlocked so shouldn't need rooting again.

After I unlock my Legend with HTCDev,

I used the wildfire path on unrevoked.com

unrevoked installed clockwork mod and everything, so I just needed to put the cyanogenmod zip on my sd card and install from recovery.

very easy
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smithchipz:
I did pretty much the same thing as ranger4740. I used HTCSuperTool v3 to gain root but had problems flashing CWM Recovery from the stock recovery. So I did a bit of researching and ended up having to put my phone into fastboot and use adb to push the recovery image onto my Legend and flash it. After that I've had no problems with my rooted Legend :D Once I'm able to post links (because I'm still pretty new here) I hope to write a full updated root guide :)
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voryzen:
The unrevoked method is seriously the easiest one and I've tried heaps of methods

Took me a half hour and I was playing with cyanogen 7.

I can put up some instructions if u like, but it would have to wait until I get back to the laptop, and honestly, its incredibly straight forward.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psyionx:
Check your hboot. If your hboot is less than 1.00 than unrevoke is the fastest way. Dont bother to bootloader unlock phone via htcdev. Since unrevoke also flash a cwm recovery. You can flash any rom directly from there.

But else follow the htc dev guide to unlock bootloader. Once your bootloader got unlocked. Use fastboot to flash your recovery to cwm. With this cwm recovery you can flash cm7 directly.

Before htcdev gave bootloader unlock for our legend, The only reason i found why we of thouse with hboot 1.00 and above need to downgrade to eclare is to also downgrade stock recovery to e2 from e3 which came during froyo. Because our cwn fakeflash update.zip only able to load from e2. Thus from eclare you can flash cm7.

The guides are there. Its already there. Many of us has use it successfully.

Here's another method of rooting your Galaxy S2 without using ODIN.

(Safer method since you can brick your phone using ODIN. With this method, you cannot brick your phone ever.)

This will root your Galaxy S2 and install busybox.

If all you need is a rooted Galaxy S2 (without ClockworkMod Recovery), you can use this method and safe to do on "any" Galaxy S2 including U.S. versions as you are not flashing a new kernel.

Also since you are not flashing a new kernel, you won't have triangle after you root.

Note: I found that the 1-click method on Droid Razr works on Galaxy S2 so modified a bit for Galaxy S2.

can i use for my i9100g??

i was planning to trade in my x10 for either neo or neo v with additional RM300 max.

Reason to change

1. crappy dual touch. while typing msg, often miss out the point

2. i am gamer as well, the lack of true multi-touch is annoying. :D

3. the ridiculous above of RAM, no offence to anyone.

So, i was wondering is it wise to trade in my x10 for neo/neo v.

the price for neo/neo v is approximately RM880/RM780

This is probably going to sound like a whinge and maybe an easy solution is not practicable. This is my post on Whirlpool Help Forum (including upgradging Mob phones)

" I am older guy and would like to try installing ICS and later Voodoo Control to improve the performance of my Galaxy S1 phone.

Do You know of anybody in Melbourne(Australia) where I could take my phone to do this"?

I have watched some UTube Videos and gone to XDA developers site but its way too complicated for me as I am a complete Noobie.

Thank You"

a)There does not appear a detailed step by step guide to do this task.

b) There is a lot of jargon for the Noobie which is not understandable

e.g. I remember one instruction said "fire it up" ??? not press this or that button or open this menu by hitting this key.

c) If one stuffs up it is very difficult to know how to recover.

d) In other words for the Noobie its very difficult.

If the phone is "bricked" I cannot take it back to manufacturer.

I would be quite happy to compensate people for their time but I would need to have someone sitting over my shoulder to complete the task.

Sorry for all the negativity but where I am located I cannot find someone to help and of course shops and businesses won't assist (understandably).

I too was a bit of a newb when it came to flashing phones etc.

However, i took the leap and since then have successfully flashed my wifes SGS a few times now using Odin and various different Roms.

The guide posted above looks to be very informative and simple to use. In fact, i will be using it myself if she agrees to trying ICS.

One question i do have which may also help the OP, how do i know which modem is best suited to our region and service provider (NSW, OPTUS) for ICS package in that guide.

I had an issue previously when i flashed to 2.3.4 and wife could not connect to internet or send SMS/MMS. Luckily a friend provided me with a link to an Optus specific modem (i think it was the modem?) and that fixed everything. Just don't want to have the same problem.

Any help appreciated
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pricespringer:
Thanks for your reply - I hope the detailed guide is not in "German" (LOL)

The sort of problem I am having is - Dummies guide states must do all these thing e.g. "Download Gingerbread Rom" (I already Gingerbread 2.3.3) ??

and another example - Press PDA button and browse for the CODE….file (What does this mean when I find code file what do I do - do I select it apply it and how do I do this (The instructions are very incomplete,truncated as to what to do and exactly how to do it)

I do know how to get into various Modes i.e. Download and Recovery but how to select and apply and copy various items is not all clear - and if one stuffs up - I suspect the phones had it. It would nice to be able to take phone to an expert and perform the tasks together.

Regards
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pedaone:
just a hint

the steps you mentioned (PDA etc) are while basic flashing in ODIN.

ODIN is a software to flash roms to your samsung phone, when you downloaded the required firmware mentioned in the tutorial and unpack it you will see the different files => CODE, CSC, PHONE(or Modem)

inside ODIN you will find a button labeled "PDA" -> click it and a file browser window will pop up, in there navigate to your downloaded files and select the CODE file.

do the same for CSC and PHONE => click the buttons and select the corresponding file.

just ask if further questions accur :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] scubadude:
If you read through the instructions they may seem confusing however if you do each step with the files, odin & your phone you should find it all fairly easy.

This stuff is new so reading just tends to confuse. I had many of the same issues but once I started doing, and doing it one step at a time it all makes sense.

Good luck & get started!

Re ICS Install Insructions for Galaxy S1

Any progress on this guide

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cleverdicky:
I'm with you there on this one mate. I dont know how these dev's keep up with it. Perhaps we should start a group, flashing for old farts :D

But your question was so similar to mine, (a few posts down) except I felt you were more polite and friendly ;) something I need to work on as well :rolleyes:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1502593

But when you do manage it you will like the ICS, I do. There are still bugs etc. like mine today was saying battery empty recharge -while it was fully charged ??

As someone said to me, try different modem files. There is what appears to be an art to mixing and matching various files to get a good combination.

And also some logic to the way it must be done.

Example, my first flash failed, like your wifes - no working modem, so no phone. So I down graded to froyo and then couldnt apply the flash updates on the old boot loader. Upgrading that wouldnt start the phone (to copy files) so needed to flash separate files with odin.

It would be nice to have a rom with the best files and a modem for each country but there would be hundreds. So start collecting what you need for your region and then try different combinations.

Yes its a nightmare for us oldies, but you'll get there keep at it.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdjj:
Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me....I'm getting kind of desperate here! Basically my Atrix keeps randomly rebooting or getting stuck with the screen off (requiring a batter pull) . This happens about 10-20 times a day (my Atrix is far too unreliable right now to use as a daily). This seems to ONLY happen when on network (ie 2g/3g/hspa) and doesn't seem to happen on wifi. I can leave it on all night and day at home on wifi happily with no trouble but as soon as I go to work and leave it on network, the trouble starts. Its weird cause if the phone is doing something with the screen off (playing and streaming music over Bluetooth for example) it won't have any problems. Its only once I leave it at rest on the network that it turns into the most unreliable handset ever.

At first I thought it may be the neutrino rom I was running but I've since been using jokersax's amazing ics builds and the same problem persists. I did a full clean (format /data & /system plus cache and factory wipe ) and loaded on the latest beta build this morning, left it clean with zero apps except google (and xda!) and within an hour of getting to work the problem came back.

I am fully boot loader and network unlocked.

Please, if anyone has any idea I would be really grateful. I am tearing my hair out!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmarcosk:
It is happening with me too, but, I dont realize it on happen on mobile data connection

Since i flashed beta 0.1.0 2d of Jokersax's ICS and come out of home

Today, for 5 times I have to pull battery out of Atrix
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk8trix:
Why not try a more stable ROM first and see if you get reboots.You do realize some phones just cannot handle unstable roms like the cm9 builds even though they are great for some ppl it just doesn't workout also maybe you are using an oc kernel that your phone cannot handle.I would check both things first.

Try some a bit more stable.

cm7 ba2ft

wetdream

darkside

gingermod

If you get the same with those then maybe fastboot wipe and stuff like that so you can clear everything out

EDIT: flash a radio too
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdjj:
Hey,

Thanks, I'm going to try Gingerblur tonight... I had ruled that out as I have used darkside/gingerblur before and apart from the occasional reboot they were OK. The reboot was OK really, I know its a known issue with this model even with unrooted handsets, as long as its occasional and clean boots back to system again it doesn't really matter as I don't pin lock my sim (currently my problems are either a reboot every three minutes as soon as I switch the screen off... or, more commonly, the dead screen, needing that battery pull) .

I *suspect* that it may be the radio, but really need some solid advice on this because a couple of years ago I completely bricked my G1 by flashing the wrong radio and vowed never to touch radios again if I didn't have to....I am naturally very hesitant about radio flashing from that episode. Can anyone give me some decent advice on which radios i should be looking at for an unlocked ( but formerly Orange UK) Atrix? One very nervous owner here!

The other weird thing is that is perfectly fine when on a power source.
