What do YOU think YOU should do since it YOUR phone... Lets be honest here do you really need to ask that question? Jus Sayin!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trantua4:
I was just wondering since i couldnt find a thread on it via this forum or google. I wasnt sure if they would check if i was running a custom rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gharlane00:
Do a Nandroid backup and then restore to pure EL29. They would almost certainly tell you the problem was caused by the custom Rom. Once they determine the phone is fine you can restore back to your everyday setup and get your airrave
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trantua4:
Thanks. I'll do that. Just have to find that tiny usb device to reset my counter.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JsinLegacy:
No... with Sprint (at least for the majority) there is no reason to worry about software on your device. Chances are they will just open it up check for water damage and check to see if the antenna is messed up.

I can't say this is the case for all stores. I know the store I work for does not care along with the majority of stores surrounding. If they feel its a software issue they will just do a hard reset on the device to see if it solves the issue.

If you were sending it in to Sprint vs at a store then I would say it would be different.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
Maybe also use a USB jig to reset the download count to be on the safe side also.

Idk what their issue is, I got an airave for free when i *****ed about my service and did it all via phone, no store visit. And yes my service sucked even on stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tech7:
Can this work even if u have the prefect reception i just wanna get an airwave just to say i have one lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Judah001:
I called sprint a month ago and told them I had been having reception issues for months and they offered me an airave right away for free. I would try calling back and asking them to send you one. It improves reception but doesnt always connect plus you have to run a long wire for the gps to connect. you would think with technology it would be more sophisticated but for free and better reception it works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sunsparc:
Ask for retentions department.

Sprint Care is able to see the number of dropped calls. If you are indeed dropping calls, just tell them that you should not have to drive to a store to verify what they should already be able to see.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] In_da_buff:
my reception at the house has been junk recently - 4 bars to 0 and calls are getting dropped. I haven't updated the modem, but I did update my PRL today and the signal has been strong since then.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisl95111:
Yeah I ordered an airave last fall through customer service (*2) and they sent it right away after I told them about my reception problems. You should try and call again because there is no reason why you should take it to the sprint store.

or hell, just call and tell them you already went and they said it was fine haha. but yeah, its weird that there asking you to send it in to a store if you called customer service....unless you called a store?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robbyr:
This is helpful how?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
My bad but I guess I just don't see the need to start a thread about should I reset my phone to take back to Sprint. I understand what he wants to do but lets be honest... Safest thing in this situation is cover all your bases and just reset to stock take it in let them look at it and then root when you get back home. Honestly rooting is not hard on this phone and unrooting is just as easy....

So my form of helping was to not have threads like this for questions that honestly are just common sense...

@OP - I meant nothing negative to you directly and I apologize for all the sensitive people who don't like what I said....

Good luck on your AirRave I have one and its well worth it for free
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trantua4:
Thanks for the help everyone. I contacted sprint again and re-explained my situation. They informed me that one of their towers has been down since November, which is strange because the lady I spoke to before said there was no reports regarding that. I am still skeptical and still no airave.

No harm done playya. It was more of a frustration since i work at a hospital and need to know if I have to come in early for a post-operation evaluation. I've had instances when phone calls/texts don't come through, so i would have to wake up at 3-4AM, reboot my phone, drive a mile away, and see if i get a text/voicemail. My friend who has sprint and visited me had the same issue. I'm very close to changing my service.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trantua4:
It's been 2 weeks in, about 10 calls to sprint with a drop call almost every time, and they still haven't resolved this issue. They've scheduled callbacks but haven't received one yet. During my drop calls, half the time the reps don't bother calling back.

They keep saying that the "down tower" is fixed and close my ticket, then when i call saying that my signal is unchanged, there is another outtage. I hope this is worth their hassle, because there's going to be 10 lines transfered (3 on mine and 7 on my extended family.)

Sorry for my rant, but this has been frustrating.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bean:
Next time you call explain the situation and past history and politely insist that the rep open a network CTMS ticket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] am.rawr:
Hi, i've been a noob-lurker at this forum since joining the android community in december, but this is my first post so i'd like to start off by saying hello to everyone. As i mentioned before, my knowledge of this OS is fairly limited, so i may occasionally need for things to be a little dumbed down for me to understand.

That all being said, i recently decided to try flashing the Eagle Blood ROM (a T-Mobile based ROM) on my ATT skyrocket using CWM. The process was completed without my phone being connected to my computer, as i decided to flash a ROM available through CWM itself.

Before i flashed the ROM, the phone was rooted, had superuser, Titanium backup, etc. I believe CWM had a fairly recent backup of all my stuff as well. Once the phone booted into the new ROM, i noticed that i had none of my apps present, none of my data (contacts, messages, pictures, etc), was no longer rooted, and could no longer connect to the data network (my internet will not run without wifi). I do remember that at some point in the reboot process the log showed that it had not recognized my external SD card. I'm not sure but it might be that all my apps were on the card and none of the info loaded because of that. Additionally, because i am running on a mac and have not yet been able to reliably connect my phone to the computer, i do not have any of the more valuable data stored there either.

Essentially i'd like to know if i can recover any or all of the data (either through finding some backup buried in the system) or through pulling the contacts, etc. from the google cloud i assume they are in, and then lastly if someone could point to what exactly i did wrong in the process -- it would be nice to continue flashing ROMs and what not. If i left out any important pieces of information, please let me know.

Thank you so much!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
Restore your backup. And ya, you either wiped data before flash or the rom did it for you. You can backup apps+data in tibu but you have to restore them after flash. That will restore app data. Not att data. Chances are your T-Mobile rom had T-Mobile apn's...ect. try the T-Mobile conversion zip. Its in the skyrocket dev section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] am.rawr:
I'm not sure where i would find those backups -- they were all on the apps themselves and (unless titanium or CWM automatically pushes the backups to another server). Both of those are not on the phone any more (or at least not in the application folder).

I will look into the T mobile conversion, that should be a good first step.

And, a quick update, all my pictures are still on the phone. Contacts, etc. are still missing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
Did youake a cwm backup before flashing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] am.rawr:
Yes and no. I downloaded CWM a while back and decided to make a backup right off the bat. Functionally speaking it would have all my stuff on it, but i also did not understand flashing recovery mode at that point, so i'm not sure it would have worked.

But no, not right before i flashed the ROM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
Boot into recovery, go to backup and restore, go to restore. See if there is a file available. I'm kinda confused. Did you or didn't you make a cwm backup?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PeartFan40:
When flashing any TMobile t989 ROM, you must also flash the conversion package as well. It contains the kernel and other files that are required. You can find that conversion package from the t989 dev thread. I strongly recommend performing a full wipe, flash the rom again, then flash conversion package BEFORE you reboot.

You may also need to manually input the correct APN settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] am.rawr:
I just tried booting into recovery: the phone powers down and then just buzzes in 3 second intervals until i let go.

The only thing about performing a full wipe and working from there is that it would need a computer, which i am still currently unable to connect the phone with...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PeartFan40:
With the Skyrocket, press and hold volume +&- and power, once you see the Samsung splash, then release the power button (continue holding volume) m, wait a few seconds and it should load recovery. You don't need a computer to perform a full wipe. Ypu can download Darkside Super Wipe Script. That will completly wipe your phone (won't wipe sd or emmc memory).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] am.rawr:
Okay, i was able to boot into recovery (sorry about the confusion, for a second i forgot that it was possible to get into recovery outside of the app).

I found the backup i had made a while back (accidentally made another, current backup while doing this) and have tried loading it twice, but it throws up "Error while formatting /system!"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] am.rawr:
sorry, a closer yields the full text as...

"E:format_volume: no MTD partition "/dev/block/mmcblk0p24"

Error while formatting /systems!"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] am.rawr:
Just tried to boot back into the system and now i have a message saying

"warning

i can either boot into the custom anyways or "restart phone".

Restart? Or would that mean i would have to get it reactivated?

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando1995:
I bought an xperia play off of ebay and it has a lockscreen on it. I do not want to root the phone I just want to wipe it completely so I can use it. As far as I know this does not have a stock recovery like most android phones. I googled how to do it but the results were very vague and did not help. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Use flashtool to flash the stock firmware, and tell it to wipe data
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
It will be much easier to assist you with this if you can provide some additional details. There are multiple versions of the Xperia Play. If you can't get past the lockscreen (which is what I think you meant), you can pull the battery and on the label inside next to the Sony Ericsson it should say something like "R800x" or "R800i" or "R800at". With that piece of information, we can provide you with links to the software and info necessary to return the phone to factory stock.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
yep some 1 should request a stickied thread saying you need this information before posting a question.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando1995:
Sorry about that forgot to include it. It is the R800x.

I was looking at the flashtool program, but I couldn't find the stock Verizon rom.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
I can help you with that. You need the correct ftf file which you can download from here: R800x_3.0.1.E.0.88_Verizon.ftf

That's a zip file. You'll need to unzip it into the firmwares folder inside the Flashtool folder.

After you have root, use RecoveryInstaller to flash CWM recovery.

As for your tablet, yes your C10 would fall in the SBK v2 caategory like some B70 and B80 ect. You look like you have the most up to date Honeycomb firmware but as you know there is now ICS available.

2) LTE ONLY, but there's a chance Seidio will make a GSM version as well, since they also make a GSM extended battery.

Keep an eye out, or just shoot them an email - they have pretty good customer service.

Good afternoon, first of all nice post.

Well...after reading your post and being owner of a GT-B5510 recently rooted I decided to upgrade the Kernel, i downloaded the 0.7 version and I followed every step, it instaled but once it rebooted the phone was completly disconfigurated, neither the screen or the keyboard worked.

I couldn't do a backup because of the hardware disconfiguration, so I instaled a safe kernel as you said but neither that worked.

so...my phone is almost bricked and I really need some help.

Have I done something wrong?

usually if you encounter errors odin brings yoor phone back form the graveyard...
