[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scourgeofgod:
Wrong thread to post in.

Anyways,

When you use "update from SD card" option the code is installed from "update.zip" in sdcard - so if there is some garbage code in update.zip it will corrupt the installed ROM on the device (or even the kernel - as might have happened in your case) and errors like bootloop and errors in recovery show up.

That being the background ... you should ask around in the galaxy ace section for specific instructions to use odin to restore your friends phone

more of the above here

Good luck.

well your friend didn't cared to read requirements properly as to flash custom rom you need to have cutom recovery..

do odin flash to clean the things
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makalolo:
If already flash upd1.zip then reboot and flash cwm5 after that you can proceed to flash custom rom....

If not its will soft brick your ace hahahahah pls read the procedure before do flashing....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowPluralism:
Right now just try to wipe everything, and format system!

Try this time to flash the custom rom correctly!

Choose zip from SDCARD and not apply update ;)

If that doesn´t help

try flash with ODIN 4.38 ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xxxdevilxxx:
HI,

I just installed ROM Manager Premium on my SGS2. I have stock GingerBread 2.3.3. After a little while my phone hangs up, if the screen is off it will remain off even if i press the power/home buttons if its on some menu it will be stuck there.

After uninstalling the phone seems to be fine. Any idea wat cud be causing the hangup?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcadam:
It's not really compatible with SGS2, and is subsequently of little use anyway. Use cwm manager instead.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xxxdevilxxx:
Oh okie :/ when i clicked on any option it asked to install clockwork recovery and it specifically showed galaxy S2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcadam:
Yeah it might do, but the recovery rom manager tries to install won't actually install and the app won't function as it should.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Greg:
Don`t use rom manager, is not 100% compatible with sgs2, if you want recovery, flash cf root kernel with odin. Best way and it`s easy

I have made a big mistake and tried upgrading my phones firmware to install a costume rom.

Phone: HTC Sensation 4G

Company: Tmobile

I downloaded it the wrong firmware now my phone keeps restarting to the main htc screen over and over it wont get past that, I tried doing a factory reset but I'm not sure if it went trough. I'm done toying around with my phone I just want to go back to the the stock version of htc please help me. I can't afford to buy another phone.

Thank you so much.

Fredy
[HTC Sensation] ekz13:
You should be able to pull the battery, hold the power /Vol down to reboot into recovery, mount the USB, copy the correct one and then flash it
[HTC Sensation] tohfhu:
Probably the reason why its always restarting is because the firmware is not compatible with the stock rom. I suggest that you should flash the rom that is compatible with the firmware that you installed.

Normally when you flash the firmware of a stock sensation to a latest one for a custom rom, it will bootloop because the current rom is not compatible with the firmware.

[HTC Sensation] PuscH:
U can try this if u have a custom recovery (CWM or 4EXT) installed and flashed the firmware by using sd card (PG58IMG.zip):

Remove the sd card from the phone

Hold volume-down + power to boot into bootloader.

Wait 10 seconds until the bootloader is fully loaded

Insert the sd card now

Connect your phone to the PC via USB

Navigate with the volume button and select recovery with the power button

Wait for the recovery to boot

Select -Toggle usb storage-

Phone is now connected in USB storage mode

Delete the PG58IMG.zip file from the sd card using your computer (u can access the sd card as usb mass storage device)

Copy the right PG58IMG.zip (firmware) to the sd card

Select disconnect

Press back to return to the recovery main screen

Reboot phone into bootloader

Bootloader starts flashing firmware
[HTC Sensation] status_six:
Was flashing the firmware the only thing you did?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
If so the super easy fix is to go back to the working firmware.

[HTC Rezound] kingofyo1:
Received my rezound last week, and today I decided to go running with my rezound. Plugged in my headphones (Skullcandy) and noticed only my left headphone would work. I thought it could be the phones, so I plugged them into my fiancee's ipod and they worked perfectly. I tried switching roms to see if that would make a difference. It did not. Is it a fairly common issue? anyone else having this problem?

Thanks

Drew
[HTC Rezound] Dalamar1320:
If sound is coming from only one side then most likely one of the leads is not making contact. Ensure you pushed it in all the way. If still not working call Verizon for a replacement phone as its possible that the contacts in the headphone jack are messed up.
[HTC Rezound] kingofyo1:
vzw sending me a replacement. Should be here today. Will see if its that or a deeper problem. Thanks
[HTC Rezound] poppajules:
Just so you know, I have skullcandy earbuds and on mine, there's another 3.5mm jack up by the middle of the cord. This connection on my headphones causes an issue with different outputs. Speakers on my computer only put out to one bud, but if I mess with that jack and pull it out about halfway, I get both buds working.

Just make sure you 'isolate the fault' by using different headphones on your old phone, also. Could just be coincidence that when you plug your 'phones into your Rezound, they short out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EdwardUong:
Is it just me or someone else also experience the fatigue on the right thumb after using the phone extensively ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Not so much thumb fatigue as much as wrist fatigue, from moving the phone around repositioning to touch different parts of the screen. A tad too big sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EdwardUong:
Consider the screen so huge. It strains my thumb :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SocialReject:
Yeah, usually both fingers due to tapping on the screen religiously.

Think it's called repetitive stress injury or something. Nothing serious I don't think.

Hehe I had the same problem...it went away after I forced myself to use the forefinger to Swype...guess you'll have to alternate hands, and using your fingers more to test the thumb

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
I was just using my GN, I set it down and a few minutes later it started boot-looping. I should add that titanium backup is usually set to backup around this time, so I'm not sure if that messed anything up but...

I went into CWR, wiped the system and reflashed the bugless beast rom, but when it starts up, I can't get past the setup screen without it rebooting again - endlessly.

What next?

Sent from my HP Touchpad running ICS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You can try flashing another ROM. Or you can try fastboot flashing the stock images and starting over.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Is there any way to access the files on the internal storage? I understand that flashing the stock image will erase that data, but it's critical that I retrieve it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
If there are specific files you can use adb pull. Or if you can successfully get into CWR you could mount and xfer that way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
I'll remember the cwr mounting trick, but for now I flashed stock 4.0.2 and rooted. I then copied my titanium backups from dropbox and I'm slowly restoring things.

I'd really like to know what happened to cause the boot loop and system corruption. It would have been rebooting all night if I wasn't nearby.

You don't root because there is a problem. Awesome apps is the reason.
[HTC One X] Diamondback:
Like 70% of the most awesome things on android need root access :P

Things like Sixaxis Controller for example :)
[HTC One X] HTC-Gunge:
More examples would be good... I'm not 100% sure why on a stock device I would need root?

Looking at my Xoom which I have a custom ROM and Root on. There are only 4 apps with root privileges

CIFSManager - Allows me to connect to network storage, not 100% sure I would need / want this on my phone.

Mizuu - Movies Database which works with out root there is just one small feature that if you want to use requires root.

Root Explorer - File manager that again works with out root, root is only needed if you want to access system areas.

SetCPU - For overclocking and if your just running stock then I guess you wont be wanting to overclock.

PS: 131 apps / 4 require root = 3% (if 70% of the most awesome things on android need root then I'm missing a lot please help me!)
[HTC One X] Diamondback:
I didn't say 70% of the apps need root access :P I just said that 70% of the really cool stuff needs root ;) Stuff you can't do with an iPhone :)
[HTC One X] Noneus:
Titanium Backup anyone? :) I'' backup my HTC Sensation (well all the user apps) and restore them on the One X. AdAway is another reason.

Other than that I don't really need it for daily use.
[HTC One X] sabret00the:
This was a question raised on the CyanogenMod G+ page. The reality is that most people don't need ROOT. Some people shouldn't have ROOT.
[HTC One X] torxx:
Without Root you can't flash a Custom recovery (easily) and without a Recovery you can't flash good patches/themes or Custom ROM's.
[HTC One X] barondebxl:
Well you can root and have awesome apps but you don't need to install ROMs if you don't want to. But apps like titanium backup or root explorer are definitely worth it.
[HTC One X] brent8577:
you remove bad apps that waste battery with root.
[HTC One X] ShyamSasi:
It depeneds up on the users. Root access can really brick the device if the user doesn't have enough knowledge about android. Xperia Arc stock firmware has lot of junk apps I need Titanium backup to remove them.

P.S. Most of my favorite apps need Root access. Root Explorer, Titanium backup, Voltage Control, Script Manager Pro etc.
[HTC One X] gordongartrell:
Its going to be nice to have cm9 without having to root though. I hope more devs follow.
[HTC One X] breadtreemike:
A must have app for me such as Titanium Backup need root to proceed...Root is more convenient for me~
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
I can't live without root, Titanium backup is a god send as I flash left right and centre, root explorer to debloat, AdAway as I hate ads when browsing the net, Voltage control as I like testing governors and such, Autostarts so I can stop apps from loading after boot, little things like that make root vital for me.
[HTC One X] breadtreemike:
I just hope S-Off coming with one X asap..I really need root but dun wanna do unlock from htc bootloader...
[HTC One X] matw01:
The main reason i want root is to remove the adds in angry birds :-)
[HTC One X] BugsyLawson:
If the above apps don't add any significant benefit for you personally (and you're happy to live without them), then there's nothing wrong with staying on the stock ROM. Still, here's a short list of things that I like about root:

- OpenVPN

- Root File Explorers

- Backup tools like Titanium

- Ability to remove stock apps

- CPU over/underclocking & voltage control

- Undelete/ file recovery tools

- More advanced screenshot/screencasting tools

- Add blockers

- Voice call recording apps

- Mods to improve stock apps (eg. camera features)

- LCD Density tools

- Custom ROM's and the new features they bring to unsupported devices.

There are many others, but I think the turning point for most people is when they have a specific need for something that can't be achieved without root. If you don't have such a need, why risk bricking your phone?

Good luck with your decision :-)

Bugsy.
[HTC One X] jermx:
Most people come to xda for cool stuff. Most of these cool stuff requires root for example, titanium backup,cpustats, supersu, busybox and also for some "ahem" apps :) Rooting adds the admin function or rather extends the usefulness of your device :)

I rooted my desire and ended up really missing a few of the Sense apps (like the dialer). I do love trying out the different roms though, and just tinkering with my phone
[HTC One X] engwee:
maybe I could live without root if you could modify the dpi

until then I won't even try to.. I mean I had one x for a while and without root it just didn't feel complete, even if I don't really use many root apps
[HTC One X] Chartist:
The reason I rooted my Desire almost as soon as I got it was because there wasnt enough internal memory to download more than a few apps. I eventually abandoned Sense altogether because the Desire didnt really have enough memory to run it without lags.

Since rooting I was spent two years trying to get the phone fast and smooth but always there was the shortage of memory bringing another problem.

The One X is completely different - Sense flies. I see no need to alter it and there are no rooted apps that I cant easily live without.

we will get Jelly Bean but eventually after a year or two HTC will stop updating the phone and that will be the time to root. Hopefully there will still be custom Sense ROMs but I see huge problems with getting the hardware working, particularly the camera.

On the other hand, it is fun to play with new ROMs.....

Anyone has this problem?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjuki:
Just to be clear, you are in bootloop and you cant access cwm? If you cant enter cwm recovery, you can get to download mode? If so, flash stock JVU for example using odin and after that flash desired rom again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netguyver:
I have performed a backup with cwm backup earlier.

After testing with Galnet MIUI rom, I want to switch back to Dark Knight v3.

I perform a cwm restore.

The system restarted but stay at the animation screen (bootloop?).

I was not able to recover my data from the backup.

Not sure if it is a problem with cwm or the rom.

I have to perform a wipe and reinstall from scratch.

Stuck

Downloaded your app. I like the graphics, but I never really got into the gameplay. When I'm trying to jump to the first platform I get stuck 80% of the time on the edge. It's quite hard to get the hang of the controls. Maybe if you jump further when you run instead of just jumping straight up it would be easier.

Thank you for downloading and testing.

When you tilt your device to right or left and click the jump button the monkey will jump in this direction for some distance.

The problem with the stuck in to the moving ground i know, it's because of the physical body of the monkey. I will try to solve the problem.

When you feel more comftable with moving the monkey by buttons you can change your preferences in the menu to not use sensor and you can then move the monkey with buttons without tilting your device.

Since I installed the build 62 software via PC Companion I have a serious problem. The phone quickly overheat. When I play a game, or watch video, or just browsing in Opera the phone temperature reach 37 Celsius and the back and menu button become live! They presses itself, and programs closes or the menu appears. I have to wait until the phone cool down, and i can use again. But after 15-20 minutes overheat again. It is very annoying and disappointing. I have read some Sony forums where users complained about this problem, and they suggest it is a hardware issue. I dont think it is true, because my phone elder than 3 months, and the problem appeared only 1 week ago, just after install build 62.

listen your problem is very public at all of xperia mini users

and the problem is from the software not hardware in the software

there is a problems with buttons .

and its easy to fix so you have two possible solutions

first : you go to Sony Center and they will re-calibration the buttons

second ; you can fix it with yourself and its easy to fix you just have to

follow steps

1- your phone need to be rooted and it very important thing

you can know how to root your phone here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1320350

2- after you get rooted you have to download a program from google play

or any site called GScript Lite

3- when you download and install it you can run it it will ask for

superuser permission it oky click allow

4- the gscript will open click on add new script and name it what ever

you want and but a a mark on needs su and write this script on the typing

space

dev=/sys/devices/platform/spi_qsd.0/spi0.0
fw=touch_smultron_sony.hex
cyttsp_fwloader -dev $dev -fw /system/etc/firmware/$fw -verify_only
sleep 5
reboot -p

and save just like this pic

note : the script in the picture is not what we want its just an example

and you will see your script is showing in the menu then run it

your phone will restart and your phone is fixed

then you have installed a custom rom then this fix will be gone

but i dont think it will come with the custom rom because its

already will have the official ics rom on end of april
