[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitchhajer:
My phone samsung vibrant is not starting, i was using google maps and it hanged and now it goes in idle mode after S sign, nothing on screen and all touch buttons have light on them.

I was using voodoo kernel and android 2.1.

I know how to format it back, but i seriously need data backup. When i connect the phone via USB cable to pc, it hows 2 removable drives (phone and memory card) bu t i am not able to access them.

Is there any way to get the data?

Thanks

If you have CMW recovery see if you can mount your sd card to pc in recovery.

and may I say 2.1?????????????????????????????????????????????

wow I forgot the original SGS line came with eclair
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitchhajer:
I data i require is from phone memory and not from memory card, i had CMW but not sure how to use it.

I used 2.2 for a while and then shifted back to 2.1 with voodo
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitchhajer:
What options i get in CWM are

- reboot system now

- apply sdcard:update.zip

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache partition

- install zip from sdcard

- backup and restore

- mounts and storage

- advanced

-- Reboot recovery

-- wipe dalvik cache

-- wipe battery stats

-- report error

-- key test

-- partition sd card

-- fix permissions

-- +++ go back+++

- ++ go back++

is there anything from this by which i can backup my phone data?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
mounts and storage

should be able to mount your internal sd and view your files.

I am not sure your device is dead either proabbly could revive it with some effort

likely an odin flash will do the trick, you would lose your apps and what not but your pictures and music etc would be kept
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitchhajer:
I tried mounts and storage

it shows me two drives but they aren't accessible, i think as you said the device is dead.

Should i go ahead with odin flash? hope it keeps my pictures, thats all i want right now.

And odin flash with just the pit file right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
where you able to mount to pc prior? Do you have correct drivers installed? as to which odin to use I would suggest asking in the vibrant section. I am coming from previous experience with the captivate which is similar but different. Maybe try a factory reset via recovery. This does not erase pictures and files but deletes all apps. If you are not concerned with losing your current set up it may be worth a shot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitchhajer:
hey thanks a lot for replying

i installed and tried with new drivers, the pc shows my drives but i am not able to access them.

In vibrant forum some one told me to try wipe data/factory reset but it did not help.

Trying odin flash now..hope it works

Thank you for your quick response.

Unfortunately, I don't want to give out any bank or credit card information on my phone due to security reason. I am afraid that there is a potential information leaking through IQ Carrier if I do have one. Do you happen to know if the Android app market accept Gift or Prepaid card?

Youre a bit too paranoid tbh. Dont worry too much. But if you must, you can use a prepaid debit/credit card

Ye I gave extended controls because of its variety of options, definitely worth a buck,

And figured the above method was pretty self explanatory.

Extended controls is definitely the best option In my opinion simply beccause you can completely customize the thwme and settings and toggles to your liking, unlike a shortcut.

Thank you all for your valuable inputs and comments.

I am more paranoid now than ever due to a recent unauthorized charges of $ 6K on two of my credit cards. I have been using these cards since 1999 without any problem. Out of the blues, these have been compromised. So now, I try to use each credit card information separately on only two trusted web-sites. This way, I hope to get a clue of the leaking source if it ever happens again.
[General Topics] darkytoothpaste:
I have been struggling to get Market to work with a custom dpi for the longest term, and hence had to switch back and forth between 240 and my desired dpi in order to update apps.

So just yesterday, I decided to try a new dpi at 208, and after 24 hours, Market still works as per normal and I can update and download new apps without the dreaded "incompatible" message.

Anyone can verify this observation that 208 is indeed the "magical" dpi to stick with? I'm using HyperDroid 5.9.0 with Market 3.4.7 if that matters.
[General Topics] YZ:
1. Posted in the wrong forum.

2. If your market worked when you were using 240 dpi, then you changed to 208 without clearing market cache.. that's why it still works. Try clearing market cache.
[Acer Iconia A500] coder_for_life22:
Hello guys,

I used the ics leaked rom for the Acer Iconia. And not i am stuck with it on my tablet.

I rooted it following a tutorial, and tried using clockworkmod but it always says "recovery verified failed" when i try to boot into recover using Volume+power.

I tried following a tutorial that i cant post the link to because of security here on the thread.

I get far enough to enter the CPUID but when i enter my Serial it is only 11 characters long when the EUU tool is asking for 16. I tried converting it to SBK but it still didnt work, just said wrong CPUID entered.

If anyone can please help me get ICS off my tablet and back to 3.2 or 3.1 i would greatly appreciate it!
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Your UID number is not your serial number. If you had CWM installed, and a recovery backup made BEFORE you installed the leaked ICS, you should be able to find your original UID number on your Ext SD card in the Clockwork folder. Should be a file called UID.txt or similar.

At least I "assume" you made a recovery backup at one time or another.

If you don't have one, then you'll have to hopefully use ADB and push a new CWM recovery image to your tab. You can find more info on this procedure from the original developer (tegraowners)
[Acer Iconia A500] coder_for_life22:
Thanks i did make a backup but the backup i made does not contain this file for some reason it only contains 4 files that arent text files. Also how coult i push a new recovery image to my tab? at this point i will do ANYTHING to revert back to 3.2 or 3.1.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
One more thing to try. Install Acer Recovery and try to install a new CWM recovery image that way.

or

With ADB;

use adb (PC):

1. adb push recovery.img /sdcard

2. adb push itsmagic /data/local

You can get the recovery image at the original Dev's website I mentioned earlier.

Or, you can use RA Recovery, which is really good!

[Acer Iconia A500] coder_for_life22:
Sorry for the newbie question but where do i place the rocovery file and its magic file? I keep getting the "no such file or directory"

I am new to this.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Did you try getting Acer Recovery Installer from the Market? And try installing a fresh CWM Recovery image? That would be the first thing to do I would think.

But if it doesn't work, then you will have to do:

You have to use ADB to "push" a recovery image.

Usually this has 2 things. Android SDK, the downloading the ADB drivers. If successfully installed, and your tab shows up in PC Device manager as ADB Device, then is simple to open an ADB shell and push the image and "it's magic" (just make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your tab)

There are plenty of guides on installing SDK and ADB.Anybody who messes with custom Roms, Rooting, and expecially installing leaked beta roms, needs to familiarize themselves with ADB.
[Acer Iconia A500] coder_for_life22:
Maybe i didnt make my question clear. I have tried the Acer Recovery but when it tries to but into the recovery i get "recover verified failed". I am familiar with ADB i have it up and running. I already had the android-sdk installed from development i do.

But i was asking when pushing the "recovery where to i place the recovery?

When i use adb push recover-ra-3.16-gmn.img /sdcard i get

"cannot stat: no such file or directory"

I was asking where do i place the files at to successfully push them using adb?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Ah, misunderstood things. As far as I know, you can r try putting it in /System

From Terminal on tablet;

from terminal (TABLET): (thors CWM)

su

chmod 755 /data/local/itsmagic

mount -o rw,remount /system

rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

mount -o ro,remount /system

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

./data/local/itsmagic
[Acer Iconia A500] coder_for_life22:
Thanks! So once i push the itsmagic and RA recover to my tab what do i do next?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
According to Drellisdee, these are his instructions'

Install itsmagic:

1. Copy itsmagic somewhere to /data or /cache, and set chmod 755 to it.

adb push recovery-ra-iconia-3.13-gnm.img /sdcard

adb shell

su

dd if=/sdcard/recovery-ra-iconia-3.13-gnm.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

sync

reboot recovery

(I never used this method, I used the flash zip version.)

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

Other notes from the It's Magic Thread.

Flash a custom recovery:

1. dd the new recovery to mmcblk0p1:

e.g.

Code:

dd if=/mnt/external_sd/cwm.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

2. Call itsmagic

3. Reboot. Bootloader will do the rest

4. Boot into recovery and see if it works

5. Every time you change mmcblk0p1 or mmcblk0p2, itsmagic must be called again.

Pretty much the same as Drellisdee had.
[Acer Iconia A500] coder_for_life22:
When i try to "adb push recovery-ra-iconia-3.13-gnm.img /sdcard"

I get "File cannot be pushed: Is A Directory"

Any ideas?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Not a clue.

Try posting on Drellisdee's thread for the recovery. He's usually pretty good about answering. Or send him a PM. He should be able to fix you right up ;)

Interesting, you are not the only one to mess up the recovery with the ICS leak. Saw a couple others lately, and they were both running CWM. You might want to look in Taboonay, Lightspeed, and Flexreaper thread. I think that's where I might have seen them. At least I think.

[Acer Iconia A500] rdnkchevy:
How are you getting this serial # your using? Every method I have seen out there to roll back needs this cpuid#
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
I would suppose the "serial#" is the tabs serial number.

I know with RA recovery, the backup contains a UID.txt file. Not sure what would be in Clockwork. I don't have any to check, so not sure if clockwork keeps the UID number.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hruehl:
I have one friend from Facebook that just won't sync with my phone. I have removed her, added her back, resynced and nothing. I have restored my device twice, and still nothing. I have removed Facebook from my phone, I have done everything that I can think of. I have used two programs (SyncMyPix + HeartofAngel), but her profile just won't show up in either program to sync to my phone.

All of my fb friends are linked according to their Google contacts in my address book. The contact in question is linked. HTC suggested I sign out of fb, clear everything under Facebook in applications, reboot the phone, then sign back in. However, HTC sense doesn't always sync. So I use a program from heartofangel.com and an app on my phone called SyncMyPics. When I launch and sync using that latter on my phone, everyone syncs, except for this particular fb friend. When I look at the results, she's not even listed in those results. When I use the Google contacts program from heartofangel.com, every fb friend populates. When I scroll down to hers, she's there, when given the option to re-link her Google contact to facebook contact, it doesn't appear she's a friend of mine on Facebook. I've removed the Google contacts and syncmypics apps on Facebook, then relaunched the apps, then allowed permission again. Nothing works. Does this make any sense?

She is definitely a friend of mine on fb. She has not unfriended me. She shares her email on fb, but not her phone #. She's showing up as Google and Facebook (linked together) in my address book. It's just with other syncing apps/programs, she's not showing up with those. It's the weirdest thing.

What on earth could this be? Any ideas?
[HTC Amaze 4G] supraman89:
I think its a Facebook problem, I've been having this problem with my cousins Facebook page since i had a samsung vibrant, i've since then gave up, i never found a resolution
[HTC Amaze 4G] hruehl:
I am beginning to wonder that myself. I have 391 friends on FB, but only 388 are syncing with my phone. I guess I am a little anal about that. LOL! I want them all to sync over. I am posting my problem on here to the "google contacts sync" forum and see if the owner has a suggestion.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bigfry:
I had similar problems when I first set up my Amaze with my wife's profile. Don't remember exactly what fixed it, but I think it was after the third or fourth time I cleared data and caches in both the Facebook app, and the Facebook for HTC Sense app, and sense then everyone is syncing fine. Maybe it had to do with the order I cleared them, I'm afraid I just don't remember.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
I have found a solution but you won't like it...it took me a while to figure this out...so basically if you set up your google account before your facebook, facebook will not sync correctly....since android 2.x won't let us delete the current google account (ICS will allow this), you have to reset to factory settings, then setup your facebook account DO NOT SETUP google when prompted in the start wizard. wait an hour or so until all pics and things are downloaded and everything is synced up...then go ahead and setup google account so you can use the market, but make sure you are not syncing google contacts yet, update the facebook app through the market, (this way you will get high quality pics from facebook, if you have an older facebook app on your rom, you will get lower quality pics until you update to the new facebook app), finally you can sync your google contacts etc after about an hour or so (if you have sense) you will get a bunch of matched or linked contacts showing up :)....this should help...

any questions let me know
[HTC Amaze 4G] hruehl:
WOW! Now THAT was some good advice. I am going to do that here now and see what happens. I have installed Friendster, and this one FB friend STILL doesn't show up in that app either. I am wondering if this has something to do with the FB API. I have 391 friends on FB, but only 388 are syncing to my phone. It won't hurt to do a factory reset. :)

Thank you for that info.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hruehl:
I did exactly what you suggested. I actually have 389 FB friends and all 389 FB friends are now downloaded to my phone. However, I am getting some with their profile picture and some without. See attachment. I have cleared the data from both FB and FB for HTC SENSE now 3 times. But not all of the profile pictures are downloading. Perhaps I need to go ahead and sign in to my gmail account and download the newest FB app, then resync? Any suggestions would be awesome!
[HTC Amaze 4G] dullhunk:
Same problem :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
wait for all the pictures to download give it some time a couple of hours...then if not all are downloaded sign into the market and get the latest facebook app...when you're signing into market, MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE NOT SYNCING CONTACTS ITS GOING TO START TO SYNC RIGHT AWAY, STOP IT IMMEDIATELY. AND MAKE SURE AUTO SYNC IS OFF. once you downloaded the new facebook app, simply sync again. and if this doesn't work, delete the facebook account under sync (not the app itself) and add the facbook for htc sync again...this should do it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dullhunk:
And the picture quality is also.very very low..

When I call some1 is see only pixels.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
thats because facbeooks native app uses 96 x 96 pics, don't even download facebook app, use the facbook for sense app, under sync section to sync the contacts and pics first, it'll give you much higher quality...unless you're running NRGZ rom, he has replaced the original Facebook for Sense app with the stock facebook, in which case you have to push an apk from another rom to your phone and resync. check out nrgz threads, someone just told me to do this recently.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Diversion:
Looking at the dev forum, it looks like zero development for Verizon 7.7. At least until Samsung releases source and bootloader unlocks, I guess it's not going to happen.

Samsung most likely wouldn't release unlocked bootloaders since it's exclusive to Verizon.. Carriers don't like custom roms/kernels/modems because it messes with their data (so they say and blame it on).

So any chances of any dev for the Verizon 7.7?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
Hard to say how much aftermarket modding there will be for that version. But, and this should really be in big letters on the box of every Android device, don't buy it if you don't like how it is in stock form. Simple. Just don't buy it. If you're buying a device hoping that someone later will improve it with some tinkering that will invalidate your warranty then it's just starting from a deficit. Buy something that you like to use rather than something you have to hack to use properly.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
There's not a whole lot of dev for the international 7.7 as it is. As for -any- carrier branded device (with modified hardware), the development is generally going to be even less. As it stands, I don't think there's really -any- dev support for the VZW 7.7 at the moment (unless certain international things happen to work the same way on the VZW version, like possibly root).

Hi,

I have searched far and wide for weeks trying to find a solution to issues I am having on a Samsung Galaxy S2 T989 (Telus) - unlocked and being used with a Rogers SIM. Android version 2.3.5 | Kernel version 2.6.35.11

I bought a 32 GB memory card (formatted and mounted before using)

When trying to access gallery of photos taken on the phone (I have not added any content from my computer) it gives me the message "not enough memory, delete some items". This also occurs when I try and dl a wallpaper using Zedge.

I have gone through forums that have said to move items over to the "external SD", and when I do that in "Files" it doesn't seem like they are actually being moved over. I have tried to move apps from the phone to the internal SD, and eventually get a message telling me that there is not enough memory on the SD.

I am also unable to connect to Kies (not sure if working on a Mac is part of the issue) and understand this is to be Samsung file manager program. Is there an alternative to this?

I am fairly new to Android, and understand the OS operates quite differently from a computer, but I really feel like I am missing something. And apologize if the answer to my problems is really obvious, but I typically have no issue figuring these things out.

If someone could point me in the right direction, even to a forum or place that explains how it all works, I would really appreciate it. I would like this issue fixed asap, but I would also like to understand why it is happening and am happy to do the research or read about it to learn.

Thank you to anyone who can give me any kind of answers!!!
