[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Feggui:
I was using the Odin3 procedure to root and mixed and matched procedures... STUPID! Got it first stuck only showing the S2 Galaxy screen, then after a bit more stupid steps, got it to say "Firmware Update Issue, use Kies to recover".

It WOULD go to Download screen, but would not do anything else...

Model #SPH-D710

710.10 S.EL29

So, here is what I did to get back up and running.

Used Odin3 v1.85 (Download and use from Admin user)

I used 3 files.

1. Partition file, Attached (EL29)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1265023

2. Stock Firmware that I downloaded from http://www.samfirmware.com/ (need to register, then click on the Firmware tab, then on SmartPhone, Android, Model D710, then download the ~270mb file.

3. Modem file (attached)

Screen shot of what it should look like.

Modem file goes under Phone:

Large file, Firmware from samfirmware, goes under PDA

Pit file, goes under PIT.

Put the phone in Download mode by holding down the Power + Vol Down for 10ish seconds... Should get a yellow bar on Odin...

Make sure you are running Odin from Admin user (I think this helped)

Start, and away you go... should take about 5 min and you're done...

I then used the Odin One Click and it worked to root...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433101

I specifically used the ALL IN ONE file "SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED_NODATA-oc-sfx.exe" that kept my data intact. Simply run it, start the phone in Download mode, once you get the yellow bar (assuming the drivers are installed), you will be golden.

Hope this helps someone...

Thanks for everyone on this forum and all your great work! All files were found on this site, and others...

so does anyone have this issue, everytime I use the keyboard in the notification bar it says choose keyboard input ( I have two languages picked) So when I go into settings my android keyboard is checked off but its greyed out so I cant uncheck it etc. so the question is does this happen to you guys ? If so is it normal etc etc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Puck24:
If you check only one language, you won't have the icon.

I have 2 languages, thus the icon is up there.

Quick question here. If I do a restore, will I lose newly taken pictures? It will touch the SD card... but only a few folders? Or does it leave the SD card alone?
[General Questions and Answers] nednednerb:
SD card untouched. Some things (app sys info stuff) may be freshly written on first boot, but nothing deleted that's user content or new since restore like pictures. App info for apps not present in backup will even remain on SD card after restore.

Hi,

Anybody know any other mode of SGS2 than these 2 modes?

Why I am asking is, when I was in the noob stage while playing with my SGS2, if my memory is correct, with three combination of button (Vol+Home+power or I started pressing before fully shut down any button or something else I don’t really remember now the sequence and the way) accidently I got a screen with yellow text similar to download mode, but it is sure the only text on the screen I remember in that panic situation was something written ‘Upload’ , that time my SGS2 was only few days old, I was really scared and rushed to press the power button to get the phone off before something is happened,

If somebody has any idea please just share…..

Thanks

sounds like kernel panic but as far as I know, you shouldn't be able to get there with any button combinations, sometimes reboot fixes this, sometimes wipe

"FORCED UPLOAD BY KEY PRESSING" HOME + VOl-UP- What is this ?????????

Further to my first post, once again I accidentally got the screen what I mentioned, this time I found out the Keys....

While the Phone is fully booted condition Just press Home Button and Vol-up button together, you will get black screen for one or two seconds like phone is switched off followed by the attached Screen saying

“ FORCED UPLOAD BY KEY PRESSING” along with the digits on top….

When you get the this Screen nothing to worry just hold power button for few seconds, phone will be switched off and with another press you can switch the phone on normally....

If somebody know about this just share the information…..

Thanks a lot

Lol, well would you look at this, now... haha

Ok so it's not even my first rodeo by far, but i seems to have come across your favourite S2 (Lol!) screen myself this past weekend, and obviously again today. I jave to say i have done pretty much everything i could have possibly done to this NOTE 5 SM_N920W8. Successful FRP Unlock, TWRP, my first manual injection of SU & BINARY, even uncovered a huge lot of developer apps and various locking/ unlocking tools, after semi-translating Arabic and separating useless code to find passwords and proper instructional material. I even had the thing up and running quite well, even after playing around with all the developers tools like Combination BoxWares, FRP Hijacker & Gsd Android Tool all over this phone. I managed to destroy any evidence of an IMEI number though. Oopsie. .. but, because it IS a NOTE 5, an ever-so-satisfying battery pull cannot be properly executed, i keep on coming back to the lovely screen which i will post screenshots of now.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Not a clue what you are asking ??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
The only thing we can discuss about your lost IMEI is to help you restore your IMEI from an IMEI backup that was created before you caused this issue.

If you do not have a legitimate IMEI backup, we have nothing to discuss.

Any discussion beyond that in this regard is not allowed by the standards set in the XDA Forum Rules.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassplayer1488:
Your a dip****. He didn't ask a goddamn thing about his IMEI number. He was just asking about the upload screen but you obviously have no idea of. I would love to get my hands on you and beat the ****ing snot out of you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
Lol, you didn't understand my meaning, that makes you the....what was your word......dips***t.

The reason I said what I said about IMEI is because they had rendered their device inoperable and wanted help fixing it, which is why they came here. They also stated that, in the process of messing around with the device, they destroyed their IMEI. Well, guess what that means, it means that part of the process to repair the device will require restoring IMEI(this is the part that my reply was aimed at) which they did not create a backup of, which we now can't legitimately help with due to the forum rules about not being able to help restore IMEI without a backup. Ultimately, they would have required help from us that is against the XDA rules, not to mention, illegal in some places. Therefore, my reply was very relevant.

Second, I know the upload screen very well, my reply had nothing to do with ignorance of its existence or its meaning. The only ignorance here is you not understanding why I gave the reply I gave and its underlying meaning because you didn't look deep enough to make the connection. But, that is no surprise since this is your first post here and you just joined within the last few hours, you probably don't know enough about this site's rules or what would have been involved in their repair process.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jebise101:
okay this maybe a dumb question but its sure is annoying. Whenever i get an email the phone led light start to blink and the Email Notification Sound play like it should, but after 10 minutes it plays again and again. Like if i don't touch the phone it will ding every 10 minutes.

Its not an event reminder or alarm as email sounds are very different then anything else and only happens when i don't touch my phone. Like i got an email late last night and it kept dinging all night long until i unlocked the phone and cleared the notification.

Its super annoying, It just play the email notification sound and then let the led blink for 10 minutes but not play notification sound sound every 10 minutes.

Does anyone know how to stop this?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
Open you HTC mail client (app drawer and select Mail), hit the menu button > More > Settings (then select your email account) > Notification settings

Now you can uncheck Notification sound :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jebise101:
Will it still ding when i first receive the email, I want the sound to play the first time but not every 10 minutes.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
Unfortunately, this will take out the sound altogether.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jebise101:
yeah thats what i thought, you guys don't find this weird about the phone?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] UnicornKaz:
not sure about the native HTC email program.. but here's how to achieved what you're after

using GMAIL appz

;)

/ open up Gmail

/ menu button

/ More-->>Settings-->> Account Settings-->> yourname@gmail.com

/ Scroll down to "Labels to notify"

/ select "inbox" then a pop up notification settings box will appear

/ There is an option at the bottom for "notify once"

That will do it ;)

when a new email arrived... you'll get a notification... you get to choose to have SOUNDS/VIBRATE...etc

and subsequence mail arrival won't have any more sounds :p
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
Just curious what ROM you're running that's giving you this issue?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
I sent an e-mail to my G-Mail account. When it came it, I left it alone to see what would happen. As described in another post, the alert sound occurred only one time. The LED flashed for a while but eventually stopped. I confirmed that the G-Mails allowed a once only notification.

I have had situations occur, but not always, where I will get alerts from both G-Mail and the native HTC e-mail app. However, it did not occur this time. So, I can't say for now what the native e-mail account will do.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mug318ca:
I'm running stock ROM and have not had consistent email notifications. I have it set to sound every time I receive an email. But I may hear it only once for several emails and then once for every email received. I may also get a sound for emails that I don't seem to have received.

Just one of those things.

Not to mention, it gets frustrating after habitually only reading the SMS from the lockscreen notification.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] StrangeShadow:
Any way to change the email notification sound?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mug318ca:
Changing it is specific to the application you are using. Check the settings for the application in question. I'm using the Gmail app. The settings for each account has an area for changing the sound and frequency.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Mathias1:
Was this issue solved?

I have the same problem with my HTC One S...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] LaZiODROID:
For a regular (non-gmail) account (which uses the stock Mail app), I could not find where to set it's specific notification sound... BUT, everything else has its own notification sound setting (GMail, WhatsApp, Text Messaging), so I just go into phone Settings, Sound, and pick a notification sound there (which will play when I get an email in my regular mail). All the other apps have their own sounds assigned, so I guess technically, my Mail has its own sound.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jerrycoffman45:
It is under personalize click the sound tab email is there
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] LaZiODROID:
SNAP. That is so simple. I suck. LOL
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jerrycoffman45:
Also under the mail app you need to go under settings notification and check the box that says play sounds too

[Motorola Droid RAZR] g5177715:
Hi,

I have bought a new moto droid razr maxx(verzion) from ebay usa,then shipping it to Singapore.

I try to start it with Singtel SIM card, but always stopping at registering network screen which is after I touch the Android logo in welcome screen.

Shows"This SIM card is from an unknown source."

As I know,verzion support CDMA.

I am in Singapore,Singtel StarHub M1 all support GSM,WCDMA.

And droid razr maxx support GSM,WCDMA,CDMA.

So I think GSM and WCDMA model maybe locked by verzion. But I can't get CDMA network in my area.

Is there any solution for me to use it with WCDMA SIM card?

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
The Verizon Droid RAZR and Droid RAZR MAXX do not support GSM or WCDMA. The hardware may be there, but it is likely disabled. No-one has had any success trying to change that, I'm afraid you've bought yourself an expensive paperweight.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] more69:
not exactly paperweight. u can buy a razr locally & swap the battery with Maxx. just that u end up buying a razr maxx with double the price.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
That is definitely the best solution. Transplanting the regular flavour RAZR battery to the MAXX and selling it off would at lest recoup some of the lost funds.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] g5177715:
Ok...Thank you very much.

One more solution.

Try to find a Verzion user in US.

Then send it back.. :D

[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
I'm not on MIUI right now, but there is an App Drawer you can add on. It doesn't pull the apps off the homescreens, but it will open an app drawer with all apps. I think it lists them alphabetically. What you can do is put the apps all in one folder to hide them. Then when you use that app drawer it will load them up for you. I think it's called alt drawer?

Hi Guys,

I have successfully unpack, edit init.rc & repack but it doesn't boot !

The way to unpack MTK series was actually found by the guys at mobileuncle over a year ago ! I've subscribe to their forum but no reply...

Below is the translated version.

MTK boot is different from the other android system. To extract, delete the
first 512 bytes of data, using Winhex. Find the location 800 to 9F0, delete it
& save it. Then you can unpack using the command below.

split_bootimg.pl boot.img
split_bootimg.pl boot.img
Page size: 2048 (0x00000800)
Kernel size: 1388548 (0x00153004)
Ramdisk size: 141518 (0x000228ce)
Second size: 0 (0x00000000)
Board the name:
Command line: no_console_suspend = 1
Writing as boot.img, the kernel ... the complete.
Writing as boot.img, ramdisk.gz ... the complete.

Unpack the ramdisk command as follows:
mkdir ramdisk
% cd ramdisk
% gzip -dc ../boot.img-ramdisk.gz | cpio -i
% cd ..

Any help is greatly appreciated ! :)

i've seen far too many times that fellow xda member make this same mistake over & over again, including myself...

So pls pls people, don't use SP Flash Tool & download ROM not meant for your phone, it will brick it & there is no way to revive it back ! After you have download wrong PRELOADER, your phone will be completely dead, cannot power on, no charging, no recovery, no USB vcom detection & you can say

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuweng:
Hello balamu96m,

You can download the tools from Dark Tremor's site & refer to the How-to. There is no tools listed at mobileuncle thread there however all tools can be found here at XDA & one of them is this

In fact, there are quite alot of how-to posted here at XDA, all you have to do is search for the correct key word.

Update, been trying for about a month now & it turns out MT65xx doesn't support ext2 partition; thats why my phone went into boot loop ! Bruno Martins has given me some tips, so have to learn how to port ext2.ko

What platform are you using, Windows (Cygwin) / Linux / Mac OS X ? Another great way to start is using this tool

Ciao...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balamu96m:
Hey yuweng,

thanks for the reply !! But first of all, what is the size of the 'boot.img' of your MTK mobile and also what is the normal size of a boot.img ?

I'm asking this because my 'boot.img' is 6.00 MB !! I removed the header and also completed splitting the 'no_header' file into kernel and ramdisk.gz. After splitting, the size of ramdisk.gz is around 2.9 MB. When i g-unzip ramdisk.gz, it says that unzip is complete and also says that it removed some bad sectors of that file. The remaining that i get is only 590 K.

So when i complete repacking into boot.img, its size becomes 2.9 MB.

Did i commit any mistake ??

Please help me !!

Did you successfully unpack and repack it ??

I mainly use Cygwin and also have Ubuntu.

Please reply !!
