[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kshitijgandhi:
i got a galaxy s 4g from t-mobile.

i rooted it using superoneclick.

it had stock froyo.

so i had stock rooted froyo.

i tried to upgrade it using kies mini.

it failed to upgrade. Emergency upgrade also failed.

now the phone is stuck in (what kies says) recovery mode.

it shows phone and computer symbol with a caution sign in between (triangle with exclamation mark)

i didnt have cwm recovery flashed in it

what should i do???

should i flash a stock rom using odin or heimdall???

if so, can anyone post links to any guides??? also which stock i should flash??

what i wanted to do was get MIUI on the phone.

but i couldnt even get to stock gingerbread, hence no proper bootloaders

i am new to galaxy s 4g, but have done a lot of flashing on htc desire

my phone is a paperweight right now, please help

all help is appreciated.

thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Follow second link (Heimdall One-Click For Dummies) in my signature. You'll be good to go. Since you were on Froyo last you WILL need to flash Bootloaders!

To add: You can't use Kies mini on a rooted phone. The "phone and computer symbol with a caution sign in between" is also Download Mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kshitijgandhi:
i am doing what you said. i read that thread before posting this thread also.

thank you for your help.

but i get stuck at the point where i need to get my phone in download mode.

my phone does not get into download mode as i also stated before.

it only goes into recovery mode as shown in the image.

the heimdall one click window does not open

but i do get the zadig window and can select the "samsung usb composite device"

i tried to use diferent usb ports and also used usb deview

still it says usb device not recognised or says usb device might not have installed properly

should i go ahead with replacing drivers in zadig window??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
The screen you are describing is also a download mode. If you are having issues with the device being not recognized, I suggest uninstalling Kies & the related Samsung USB drivers. They tend to conflict with the open source drivers used by Heimdall (the ones installed by zadig).

One those are uninstalled, re-run the one-click. When the zadig window appears, install the Samsung USB Composite Device drivers. You should get a message that the drivers installed, then close the window, and you should be at the Heimdall window after that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Do what Stephen said but also - do you not have one USB you have never plugged your phone in? Do you have a mouse plugged in that you can move to another port that you have yet to plug your phone in?

Well stephen - it appears his phone is back up and running. It took him until 5:30AM (central time for me). Just read my PM's.

Glad you are up and running kshitijgandhi.

Thanks stephen. Guides definitely help to be able to point people to when you don't have time to walk them through the process.

Hi Friends - I am quite struck in at a postion in m y Xperia where in I am unable to login in to Google. As I was just retracing my steps I figured out that during the boot loader unlock process, I had downgraded my phones firmware and unlocked the boot-loader, but instead of upgrading the firmware I choose to upgrade a kernal that wanted for the new RoM.

I am unable to guess if that is the problem that is causing my data unreliability problem, also the phone hangs a lot. Please advice!!

Thanks,

Try Fresh

Why don't you try a fresh install, root, unlock all together, that'll help a lot, I mean if you know the drill, don't waste your time, try fresh, as per the question as to kernel and firmware being synonymous, no they're not,

Kernel is the core of the system that holds the codes and drivers needed by the system and firmware provides Instructions to the device.

I suppose but I really like the debloated ics. As in galaxy nexus ics. I am assuming that the note ics aosp is still with touchwiz but everything touchwiz related wiped out but I still would like to know performance wise I'd its as snappy as galaxy nexus if not more snappy?

I love my nexus but I feel if I had what I have on my nexus on a note I'd be happier.

Also I don't need the greatest and latest from a nexus but I need this style ics which Imilkas from provides.

Hope you guys understand what I'm trying to get at here and foolish as some of you may believe it is.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JonGarrett:
Goes anybody else have this problem? I don't know why but the battery cover does not fit properly on the lower left side. 2 pins are visible and it creaks a lot when its moving around in my hands.

I went to an AT&T store to take a look at their display model and noticed the same thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Barry (NJ):
No problem with mine. Are you sure it's fully seated? Lay it face down on a towel and run your finger all the way around the edge applying some pressure and see if it doesn't snap into place. I know from experience that it can look seated, but still need a little more of a push to get it all the way there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sarius24:
There's not much the forum can so for you, just take it back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] joshnichols189:
Take it off and snap the pins in from the bottom up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 722ish:
Mine is the same for sure, I have taken it off and tried to realign and it makes absolutely no difference. It creaks the most by the volume rocker, fairly annoying! I suppose I'll have to return mine as well then.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
There were quite a few pre orders that had this issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JonGarrett:
I took mine back to the AT&T retail store and they told me they could exchange the battery cover IF they got some returns back but after checking 3 AT&T stores Ive found that they are all sold out of the Galaxy Note and have no returns.

The second option they offered me was to wait until AFTER the 30 day period (yeah right) and go to the AT&T tech support store and see what they can do for me (yeah, like that's going to help)

So finally I told them that they should waive the activation fee while I look/wait for a solution.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
Wow...if you call warranty they direct you to go to the store and have it exchanged. That is actually the policy listed online

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AKleetness:
Mine is the same way, three pins on the left side just wont snap into place and my back pops off occasionally. I haven't decided if im going to keep it or exchange it yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
I put one of the metal like covers on the back and the clips dont line up right on it. I tried to shorten the misalligned clips to fit but anytime i tried to shorten one the whole clip popped off. Theres still enough to hold it on, but not as secure as my OEM one, which fits like a glove. So if these were modeled after some of the early backs, I can see why your having trouble as it had the exact gaps you are speaking of befoe I went all macgyver on it. I am sure OEM is better quality, but i would still recommend AGAINST my method of altering the clips unless it's your last ditch attempt before buying a recplacement back.

U.S. Cellular Epic 4g touch APN How To

I am doing this right now. The problem I ran into is I purchased my phone in Michigan, where 4G is now abundant and I moved to Maine where nothing is "abundant" except U.S. Cellars pain in my rear so I flashed without being near towers after my phone has lost service for months so Boost cannot find my account on their system. Not a shred! This means I have an MSL but no commands with root can tell me and neither can Boost Mobile. My ESN/EIN/MEID/MEIN was accepted on U.S. Cellular and gladly took my $90 to welcome me. However; I cannot access my ESN to open DIAG to alter APN. Oi... But granted you have root, and tower signal, and

Have obtained your MSL (typing "getprop ril.MSL" in terminal is the easiest way to find it).. all you have to do is ##3424#, click edit, enter MSL # (6 DIGIT) then proceed to enter new APN settings. Then use the list button (button with two horizontal lines and 3 sided box used for settings access on home page) to save new APN. Reboot after at least 2 minutes and in theory, you should be all set. No ROM Flashes can cure this. (YET) I want my SPH-D710BST to display U.S. Cellular boot image....

I saw a post about HTC Evo flashes working... maybe a flash with U.S. Cell stock ROM and APN can cure this? I will check if my plan fails tonight.
[Epic 4G General] 1greek4u:
I was wondering if some of you would be willing to humor me and my laziness with a short list (and links) of the best/most stable/newest ROMS right now. I haven't flashed a new rom since ACS ICS and I find it's been getting buggy.

I've been looking at either the clean gingerbread ROM or CM7. How do these compare in terms of speed/capability/stability?

What other ROMS should I be looking at?

Thanks,

Try to go with CM7 1st then after try CM9, CM7 is very stable and a battery life helper but go with a custom kernel for Nightly 45 the best IMHO is Samurai which is EB's kernel which you can head over there to get it http://indandroidprj.zxq.net/ left side of desktop visualizer is folders to download it.

So a friend of mine updated his p1010 to the official Gingerbread following this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410035 but the instructions in the guide says that root comes with CWM in the second post...

I would just like to confirm if this is true since it goes against the procedure I went through with my Optimus One (root first, then install CWM, then install roms). I don't see where root access can be gained in the guide above.

And i think GB cannot be rooted with z4root so how do you root an official p1010 on gingerbread? Could it have been possible to root with z4root, install CWM, then flash a rom already on GB with no other changes?

hey guys i just wanted to ask something. Its possible to install apps via update.zip immediately after flashing ROM rite? I searched XDA and found this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=917922

but im not sure how to do it and anyway the meaupload link for that download is down. Btw since all my app data together is more than the data partition of the phone (>200mb), is it possible to make the apps link to my second partition of sd card via update.zip script or something? Hope u guys can help me!!
[Milestone XT720 General] androidlover123:
Does anyone know how to do this? if possible i think it would save a lot of time as when reinstalling via titanium backup. this way would be more hassle-free if possible.

So no one knows how to do this? ok then nvr mind i guess it must be too hard or something....
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Why not just use an ext partition and app2ext?

Creating an update.zip is possible, but it's not very convenient. Esp keeping it up-to-date.
[Milestone XT720 General] androidlover123:
srry if im asking a really dumb qn but does that mean that if u install apps to ur ext2 via link2sd, u dont have to install them again on new ROM?
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
App2ext is different from link2sd (but they both use ext partition.

In link2sd you usually create /sd-ext/link2sd folder, reboot and then use the Link2SD app to manually move apps to /sd-ext/link2sd. This is good if you want to mix apps on SD and internal.

In app2ext (which I'm suggesting) you instead create /sd-ext/app folder on sdcard and reboot. All your installed apps will be moved there from internal memory and new apps will be installed there automatically. They will still be there after you factory reset or install a new ROM. (To preserve application data you need something else such as titanium backup)
[Milestone XT720 General] androidlover123:
Ohhhhh. Thx a lot!! Ok I just wanna try a bit of programming that's why I asked how to make update.zip. haha. Anyway Thx!! :D
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
You can learn by studying the gapps package used by CM or any other update.zip. The "magic" is inside the META-INF folder. META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script has the installer commands that do things like mount /system and extract files, set permissions etc. The final step is to sign the update. OpenRecovery allows unsigned updates, but you should sign anyway even using testkeys--it forces a sha1 verification of the zip files to detect corruption before the update is applied.
[Milestone XT720 General] androidlover123:
oooh i can kinda understand the code in the updater-script. for eg: ui_print to print to screen, package_extract_dir to extract files to the directory in whatever folder u state. but what is the update-binary file?
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
The update-binary is the program that reads and executes updater-script.
[Milestone XT720 General] androidlover123:
Is that something you must write yourself or something? Or just copy from other update.zips?
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I just copy it. It's probably in the AOSP source somewhere but I've never looked.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moist:
Hey there peeps

So I did a search in the forums, and couldn't find anything. I might be taking my Prime in today to get looked at, and I just want to know if rooting voids warranty?

Cause then I have to unroot :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bluewr:
Unless you're taking it to an asus center, it shouldn't matter.

If sending it in to RMA, it is usually a good idea to unroot it, unless it's bricked, then there's really no way for them to see if you rooted it or not.

The only exception is if you use the Asus unlocker to unlock the Bootloader, then your device serial will be sent to a central server, and whether it will be fixed or not, will generally be on a case by case situation, but you voided your waranty by using said unlocker.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moist:
Cool. The reason why I asked is that I'm taking it to asus today. I have unrooted it, but the rootkepper app is still there. Should I uninstall it, or will it be fine? Thanks again!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
And how do you propose that he flash ICS without increasing the binary counter? His Note is unrooted.

Ayway, going straight to ICS would be unwise at this point, IMO. ICS poses enough problems for experienced users, let alone fresh ones.

So I'd stick with gingerbread for now if I were you. When you get some experience with your new phone, then you can flash anything you like.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robb13:
You can't without increasing the binary counter, but if he's going to root it, he'll lose his warranty anyway, if that's what your worried about. Flashing ICS with Odin is very easy. I did it on my Note coming from 2.3.6 and works with no problem. But yes, it DOES INCREASE your binary counter.
