[Galaxy S I9000 General] sraghav:
I had put on the ICS 4.0.3 from the google code project.

It worked fine, but I wanted to go back to my fully functional phone. I earlier had darky's 10.2.2 EE.

For going back to Darky's, I downloaded the latest pakcage 10.4.2 and went into CWM. It failed to update. then I tried wiping the cache etc, then also it failed to flash the package.

Then I tried using CWM's restore and wanted to go back to image prior to darky 10.2.2.. that also failed.

now when I rebooted system, hoping to do a factory reset, the phone is not booting up.

I tried connecting odin in download mode, that odin cant see the phone, even though the download mode is visible on the phone.

need help, seriously, and urgently...

Looks like you posted to the wrong section...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] st4rk:
If you have download mode you will be fine, its only a soft brick.

If its not recognizing your phone in download mode it means drivers are not installed properly, download kies from Samsung it will install correct drivers.

Try again full stock gb rom with Odin and reparation selected.

Also post in help next time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jonsat:
First of all, I think that you wrote in the wrong forum, should be in General section.

That said... if you can enter download mode, then your phone is NOT bricked.

Just install (or reinstall) Samsung USB drivers for your PC, and Odin will connect again. ;)

Edit: I tought I was the first to reply but it seems others were quicker in that :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] paintball23456:
these people are right i had the same prob all i did was re install kies drivers and flashed darky 10.2 re odin edition :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrAndroid12:
Same happened fto me with odin, all I did was use another computer and there you have it

How do you say your rom is called...?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] sraghav:
Apologies for the wrong forum, I guess I was too panicky... :(

Now I found a solution, use odin with a different computer (which had the drivers etc set up), then get this rom

http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/

flash it using the instructions given, and wow, the phone is back to life.

After that, I I upgraded to Darky's 10.4.2 and it looks good so far..

Thanks for the help, tips, ideas and the patience for my mis-placed msg in this forum.

what would I do without open source community ?

love you guys

For the future... You can`t flash stock roms over CM7/9 or any aosp port via CWM :) you need to flash a stock base rom first

you need to install a corruspending Karnel via ODIN in ur phone , if u need details u can search in the forum or just PM me

Reported as junk. Because people are serious and you are not more clever than anyone here.

This document from my ROM project.

You need to start from "How to install JVU stock Firmware" part and stop at installing GamerzRom step.

Please report this thread for moving it right place. Be careful mate. You can't switch from Cyanogenmod and ICS to Samsung based roms from CWM. You need to flash original rom with repartition again.

If your PC doesn't see the device, try Ubuntu live cd or Virtualbox. You can flash your phone with heimdall on Ubuntu. If you need help about this just PM me. Take care mate.

Just to make you know. You shouldnt flash any stock based from over cm/ics rom, because it runs on totally different partitioning and file systems.....flashing this will most likely cause soft brick....next tikme use Odin if coming from cm/ics roms to stock ones

Hello!

I'm having problem with my Mail on HTC evo 3D.

I got 2 mail accounts signed on it (hotmail and my work mail)

Everytime he sync with server he download all attachments from all mails, and after 24hrs I got like 3000 files... Like 500x attachment from mail one, 500x attachment from mail 2, and so on... every mail that has attachment he make a copy of attachment everytime it sync mail.

Try having all your emails forwarded to your gmail account then you wont have to worry about it.
[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkiki:
I got that already, but I got a need to replay or write new mail from time to time via my work mail.
[HTC EVO 3D] spirithandler:
there is an option in gmail that allows you to send out emails from your linked accounts.

say you have an email come in that was addressed to your work address you can set gmail to automatically use that address when replying.

you also will get a drop down menu when sending out emails to choose what email address you want to use.

this feature is also in the gmail app but you need to set this up in gmail through your browser.

you will find it in settings.

I have been using this feature for a couple of years now on my PC.

I deleted the magic smoke in the system wiped cache. Still everytime the phone restarts the smoke still shows up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grayn0de:
I take it you mean the Magic Smoke live wallpaper? More detail is usually better and often required for any diagnostics.

1) Did you wipe cache and dalvik, both?

2) How did you delete the .apk? Through adb or terminal or root explorer?

3) Is it showing up as your active wallpaper or just in the live wallpaper picker?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josephlor:
I deleted it root explore. When I open the screen it just goes across the screen.I did wipe cache.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grayn0de:
If you've confirmed that the .apk is no longer in /system/app, reboot to recovery and wipe both cache and dalvik-cache. In my experience, Dalvik holds a cached copy of .apk files, so the app will still be "usable" until the dalvik-cache is wiped.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josephlor:
Thank to it worked wiping it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4bdnf8:

After doing everything a few days later it started again. I updated my kernel to sense anthrax 9. Would that reinstall it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grayn0de:
No, installing a new kernel will not reinstall any stock applications, unless the kernel dev or update packager included it in the update.zip for some odd reason. Never seen that, though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Are you actually talking about the live wallpaper or are you talking about weather animations or something else?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I think you are seeing the cloudy weather animation no magic smoke, magic smoke is a live wallpaper if u don't want weather animations go into the weather app into. It's settings and disable animations

Hey all.

I want to know which is the max output impedance (Ohms) supported by arc.

I want to buy a AKG headphone with a 55 Ohms impedance, someone told me that is too much for smartphone. Really ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luhccas-X10:

You can use it without any problem.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arc_u:
Thanks you, quality is like when you plug it with your PC ?

I want to buy the AKG K271 Mk II

and they're difference with your 414p, 55 Ohms vs 32 Ohms(K414p)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luhccas-X10:
For me i feel it better than when use on pc but not so loud. (I don't have a proper soundboard)

Our phones can hold around 72ohms easy, based on its SOC structure.

But i think that may cause some battery drain.

I recommend to you buy an pre amp like Fiio E5, which is discrete,cheap and powerfull.

Maybe this will deliver a better audio experience with high end headphones :-)

If you don't want to root, then just make a folder and hide all the junk, unless really strapped for memory, then definitely recommend rooting and getting a file like astro and the like to get rid of the junk.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sk8erbg207:
I ordered a tmobile activation pack but the activation code was invalid, so after calling support their going to call me back which could take a few hours. So, while I'm waiting can i root my phone now (or attempt to, haha) and then activate it while it is rooted? Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
If you just want to to root and be on the stock ROM, that should be fine. Just for the sake of everything working properly, I'd stay away from a custom ROM until it's activated, just that's just being careful, if a phone works running a custom ROM after activation you should be able to activate fine. I think all T-less does is get IMEI data, s/n, and related data so assuming the custom ROM can read all that info, it *should* work.

*disclaimer* I am not responsible for anything if you root or flash a custom ROM and can't activate your phone.

That being said, welcome and let us know how things go and what course you go. Remember, read first, do after reading, it prevents bricks.

I wanted to change my Vodafone 858 ROM to Lucky. For that, I rooted it, I installed CWM, and just as I was going to do a backup of my current ROM, I remembered I saw a firmware update available, if I'm not mistakein' from version U8160V100R001C02B617SP01 to version U8160V100R001C02B625SP01. Well, I did the update, it downloaded it and restart my phone; after restart got hung at hourglass and after like 10-15 min. I removed the battery and tried to get into recovery mode, but it appeared a screen saying "Firmware update1/2, unpacking, update failed". Now I can't even get into that screen. Maybe was because when I did the firmware update the phone was connected via USB to my laptop. Anyway, I don't know what to do to boot, I just can't pass the hourglass...

I found the solution: I downloaded from somewhere on the net an official ROM that came with instructions from Huawei on how to update too: unzip the .zip file, resulting a folder named "dload", which contains the image for update; the folder must be put on the SD card directly on the root (the card containing only this folder), then insert the SD card into the phone (without inserting the battery) and press down volume-up volume-power (NO battery); it will star to update and install the official ROM...

Hello everyone I have just bought a new Samsung focus rev 1.3 and I migrated from android and I wanted you all to guide me abut unlocking rom., magdlr , side loading apps etc.. right now am on stock mango.......... plz help me.... thankd
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
1. Stock roms. Custom ROMs: DFT+Magldr, mi7rom, CleanDFT

2. Dev unlocking through WindowsBreak project

3. To deploy XAPs you need Winco's mini WP7 SDK and Winco's deployer wXapAssistant

4. Deploy these 2 apps immediately: Samsung tools (to prevent relock) and WP7 Root tools (file explorer, registry editor etc)

I also suggest you read this thread, it's a bit oudated but it contains all the needed tools today.

This is what you need to start with, good luck!
[Focus General] SuperSport:
Nice, concise post, EnderPsp.
[Focus General] cyclops13:
Thanks for your concise email and the wiki.

Is there any step by step guide for first time flashing? It seems I am stuck with a ver1.3 demo mode phone and need to flash it to fix it. Any help and advise is highly appreciated.

Thanks.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Sure, read here (part of step 1 of my Noob friendly unlock post) ;)
[Focus General] cyclops13:
Thanks! This steps seem simple enough for me to follow.

I am in a dilemma, help me out guys. I bought a used phone for $90 and its in a pretty good condition overall except for the demo mode issue. I have the option of opting for a replacement, but I am not sure whether the replacement would be as good as this one.

The phone is scratch-less and cosmetically in pretty good shape. I also checked the diagnostic menu and there was no issue found to my noobie eyes. The usual burn in problem with demo units is also not present. I could not check the calling features as its in demo mode. Is there anything else I should look for?

So what should I do? Keep this and flash with a stock ROM (which I am sure inputs by you all will definitely get me through) or I should just go ahead and take a replacement?

EDIT: Any inputs guys???
[Focus General] cyclops13:
So I have decided to keep this phone and flash it to a stock ROM.

I was going through the posts referred by you (very helpful) and can figure that the bootloader is working fine. Will start the flashing when I get home from work.

One of the points mentioned in the tutorial says that the battery should be 80% charged before starting with the flashing process - which makes sense. BUT, I am having some issues here. The demo mode seems to be a battery hog, so even if I have plugged the phone to the charger, the battery is getting charged really slow (probably the battery is bad as well). Its been a few hours since I have plugged it in and its still probably at 20% and the phone is getting pretty warm at the back and the front. Is this going to be a problem???
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Flashing implies some risk, so having more battery definitely helps. By my experience, 40% is enough but I recommended 80% for the general case (to cover all possibilities). But considering your battery is slow charging, I would do 2 things to charge faster:

- set airplane mode

- turn screen off

So when you reach 40% you

should

be fine for flashing stock ROM. But I don't know all the particular details so you need to consider all.

Normally

, flashing a stock ROM takes about 10 mins, so it doesn't require a lot of battery.

And just to be clear, for demo phones I first recommend you return the phone, since these aren't normally sold to users. But that is your choice and again, I don't know all the particularities (for demo phones) or even if flashing a stock rom actually works, for that matter.
[Focus General] cyclops13:
SUCCESS!!! Thank you guys! :D

All the posts were really helpful. Now I can confirm that the demo version phones can be fixed by this method!

Registry Editor

Guys, I see a lot posts about editing the registry entries to tweak stuff. I need to change my default live ID and found a suggested way to change that through registry edit. BUT how do I do it? :confused: I am not having enough posts, so cant post in the dev threads.
[Focus General] cyclops13:
My bad, the answer was right in this thread! I gotta windowbreak and then install WP7Roottools to edit the registry!

Did everything till step 3, but at 4 not able to proceed. No matter what I do, it wont detect that my device is connected. Please help..
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Kill every program you've opened. Skype messes up the connection. If you're able to sync in Zune, it should work. Also

- don't close Zune while you do that

- make sure you're synced fully in Zune, not in Guest mode
[Focus General] cyclops13:
Tried doing it afresh as well, did a hard reset and then windowbreak - did not work. I did connect to Zune but did not do a complete sync, will do that tonight and check.

Sorry for the delayed response, I was out for the weekend. Any thoughts on what would go wrong? I still have the WP7 Root Tools installed and it seems to be working fine!
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
That's good, you don't have KK2 and if Root Tools works, it's a problem with your PC, your phone is fine! Make sure you close all programs that may use https connection. I also recommend the reading here (pasting some relevant bits):

Steps for unlocking:

...

6. Open TCPView. (tcpview.exe inside of the downloaded archive) Click on the heading marked "Local Port" until the arrow next to it is pointing up.

7. Look on the Local Port column for any entries labeled "HTTPS". These programs MUST be closed for Chevron to work properly. Common culprits are Skype, and XAMPP. Use Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+Delete) to ensure they are closed if you run into issues.
