[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElectroLoki:
Hi guys...

I think I have a bootloop issue that I can't resolve. I know I know... but hear me out! :P

Mine is a UK I9100 on Orange/T-Mobile. I have previously rooted my stock 2.3.3 SG2 without issue. The other day I flashed the official firmware to get 2.3.4 and all went well, except it removed my root access. So I went about rooting it again... except somewhere along the line I screwed it up...

So now I have a phone that won't enter recovery mode. It just sits at the SGS2 logo with the yellow ! triangle in it. It WILL go into download mode however... so I've been attempting to flash some kernels.

I head over to "[READ THIS] Got a Boot Loop? Don't post a New Thread!" as my first port of call. I head over to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113928 and scroll down to Orange, and then the UK. I'm a little unsure which of the 3 downloads to pick (BVKE2, BVKG3 or BVKJ4) as I thought I had KI4... I could been mistaken though.

I download GT-I9100_ORA_I9100BVKJ4_I9100ORAKJ4_I9100BVKJ4.rar, extract the tar, enter download mode, start Odin 1.85, put the file in PDA, connect the phone and hit start.

This is what I get:

<ID:0/005> Added!!

<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..

<ID:0/005> File analysis..

<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/005> NAND Write Start!!

<ID:0/005>

<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

Can anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? My custom binary download is currently reading 23... I'll apologise now if this has already been covered, but I've spent a good number of fruitless evenings of trying, searching, reading and I'm frustrated as hell. :(

[EDIT] I've also been through the "[GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII" guide but that didn't resolve my issue either. :(

So I just flashed the new AOKP build for our Transformer Prime and I've ran the Benchmark test three different times at different times in the day and I can't get above 9650, which is lower than the stock score. Anyone one else having this occur?

I've changed governor in the tests as well from "on demand" to "interactive" to "performance" and one test i even upped the minimum clock freq. to 1200mhz and the max to 1600mhz.

Any suggestions or comments are welcome. Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
leave it on interactive. its the rom causing the low score. try virtuous rom or icilicious rom n I'm sure scores will be higher. I've scores way higher than you on stock rom and 1.6Ghz overclock. even on stock n no overclock I get higher than that. that AOKP rom not fully ready yet. its still an alpha or beta build. so lots of work to make it faster n more optimized still needs to happen.

plus whenever running benchmarks, make sure to clear all background tasks and after a fresh reboot. that'll give best results.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jirazabal:
Thanks for your suggestions. I rebooted and closed any open processes and changed governor to "interactive". Got a score of 9556 again. :(

I think I'll just take your advice and stick with Icylicious or Virtuous. Any recommendations?

Will various custom boot annimations run on the SGP 5.0? I have a few that I run on my SGS2 that I would like to run on the SGP. I have root and CWM installed. My SGS2 is running UnNamed 1.3.2

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] exodus454:
They should, although if you're running the stock ROM I think there's a different process than with other Samsung devices.

If you get a different ROM most of them support the regular boot animations.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] BNAS:
Yes I am running and rooted stock. Not sure if there are any stable custom ROMs for the SGP 5 yet? I downloaded GenericGinger but have yet to flash.

So the custom boots won't run on the Stock Rom?

Title says it all. Is there a way to downgrade a Nook Tablet from 1.4.2 to 1.4.0?

I have successfully rooted it, yet I am unable to get the "home catcher apk" installed since I can't get the "Unknown Sources" (Allow installation of non-Market applications) to stick.

Thank you in advance!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jmeyerhead:
I haven't seen a way to get it to 1.4.0. Do not flash the 1.4.0. acclaim update though it will brick the device.

Any ideas on getting "Unknown Sources" (Allow installation of non-Market applications) to stick?

I am told that:

Open NT Hidden settings. Click on HACKS. Click on UNKNOWN SOURCES HACK. Bingo DONE! I had to reboot to get it to take effect but I was able to install homecatcher.apk. AWESOMENESS ENSUES! Go ahead and click on the OTA blocker too. Thanks guys for this great thread and hopefully I've added a small part to it.

Good evening guys!

I want to install the ROCKET ROM, V22. I go into ClockworkMod Recovery. After this I factory reset, clear cache and then after clear dalvik cache.

Installing the ROM is the problem. What happens is that CWM freezes when the box says something like "clear chache, dalvik". After this nothing happens, no matter how long time it takes.

What am I doing wrong? Hope that you can help me!

Best regards

I´m running Criskelo ICS ROM, V1.4.

Baseband:N7000XXLP1

Kernel version: 3.0.15-I9220ZCLP1-CL131270

se.infra@SEP-67#3.

The problem is also that this happens when I try to install another, it doesn´t matter which ROM i try with. This also happend when I was on MidNote ROM. Before that I dont remember which ROM i used, but it was the same problem there.

Can also say that this also happen when I try to make a backup of my current ROM. When it is aalmost done and come to "vzip", or it´s called anything close to "vzip".

Does anyone else have this problem?

go to CWM 5.0 or 5.2 recovery dznt matters on rocket v22 i used 5.2 :P

just choose ur rom.zip after installation wipe cache and data and dalvik cache

i guess u r doing it before installing rom.....

this was the mistake i was doing :P

lemme noe if u get any error after this :)

Hi everybody,

I've installed the rom in title w/ update v0.7 but I still can't use the GPS (it says it's "temporarily unavailable"); I've already tried the FasterFix trick for writing the right gps.conf, but still no luck :(

Any suggestions for solving this problem?

Thanks in advice!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Jinxxed:
When you say you "still" can't use it, do you mean that you were never able to do so before?

I really don't know what to say except that it works fine for me.

What is your baseband? (you can find it in Settings/about)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] slimhunter:
Sorry, I forgot to post that ^_^ My bb is XXKPI, kernel 2.6.35...

I said "still" because I've tried it just before installing the latest fix released by mebitek
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] galaxy mini:
Iam on v0.7 too but with xxkpk as baseband on no gps issues!! May try to change or base too!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Jinxxed:
That baseband should work great for you.

I really don't know what is wrong, perhaps you can post a logcat for review?

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 AM ----------

I cannot see how that would help him since it's not one of the orig for his location.

He has the right baseband for his location.

Perhaps it's damaged, you can try to flash the baseband again and see if that helps (directed at OP).
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] slimhunter:
This solved my problem! After the usual backup, I reflashed the bb with Odin. I really don't understand why on earth it didn't work since anything else was going flawlessly :confused:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slamming_sammy1:
anyone bought the 'open face' or the '2 in 1' which is the 'open face' plus a flap that you can button onto the 'open face' case from fortte.com ? 39.99 for the 2 in 1 and 34.99 for the open face version.

Not everyone likes these open face ones but I just love these as I love the clip which I clip onto my belt (or shorts) and am able to just look down at my phone for 'time" (yeah i don't wear any watches); so I've always had Krusell flex orbit cases, however they don't make one for the vivid, i guess they only make the orbit flex (the open face one) for phones that are under certain weight and vivid is a little on the heavier side. anyway, if anyone had bought one of these, let me know of your thoughts. also, i found another open face case on ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/190651454200?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

if anyone bought this before, let me know how you like it.

thanks.

I work in a warehouse environment so I keep an Otterbox defender on mine with the screen facing in. You can carry it either way though. If you dont mind the extra girth on the phone, the OBD is the way to go. Ive had cases like the one in the ebay listing you posted and they do alright, but the belt clips are pretty flimsy. If a belt clip is a must and the OBD is too bulky for your taste, I'd check into seidio cases. They make several different styles offering different levels of protection and most of them have a belt clip so you can carry it on your belt the way you want.

Please move this topic to the appropriate forum if in the wrong one.

There is already a forum for user made apps/games.

If you can please add a section for apps that have been pulled off the market so they can be easy to find in an organized matter. Alot of people always just google the apps and HOPES someone has uploaded the apk, whereas here would create a better option for the users of xda.

edit: also make a request subforum for that forum.

From there, do all wipes and formats and then reboot.

[LG Optimus 3D] thealgorithm:
th LG update tool is absolutely horrible. I was updating my firmware with this tool and wifi disconnected a few times, (on talktalk, horrible provider) it continued with the firmware download nonetheless, it seems that it does not check properly that the downloaded firmware file is corrupt or not and continues flashing regardless.

Suffice to say, the wifi disconnect happened at around 10% of the download and when the firmware was flashed, it generated the error at around the same time resulting in a phone that looked completely dead. black screen, no lights etc.

Thankfully got it working via the powerup and cable insert and reflashed the recovery from the lg tool.

I wonder how many LG optimus phones get sent back to the company for fixing. I have flashed many phones and devices, never had this type of problem before.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daaaavinnn:
A weird issue of mine as well...

The only thing I can think of to fix this issue is to reflash the phone. But make sure to clear the dalvic cache, the regular cache, and do a factory reset before you flash it.

On another note that would relate to this thread, my phone is running fine with this new ICS, except for the fact that my screen lock doesn't show up everytime I press the power button to put it into sleep mode. Not even when I leave it alone for the backlight to go off by itself. I've tried changing the security settings, changing the security feature to everything available (facelock, pin, pattern, etc.) It doesn't even show up when there is no security feature at all.

Any help or info about this is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
