[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] who carez:
I've got stock SG2, DVKF4, from Telstra and I rooted it using ODIN and XWKDD_insecure.

Last night, when I was updating the firmware on the phone, after reboot - all I got is SG2 boot screen with yellow triangle - after that blank screen/power off.

1) Did I brick the phone?

2) I 've been reading the forums and I can probably flash the original fireware, on there?

But I am not sure whethere I should do the kernel as well as it was rooted.

I've already got files from intratech but - not sure which steps to do - kernel and firmware or just firmware only.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kb87:
First: If you can get into a download mode then you have NOT bricked the phone. You can call it a soft brick max. In my opinion get an odin flashable stock firmware and flash that by putting your phone into download mode. you can find a complete guide how to do that on samfirmware.com

hope this helps
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3signr:
As described above, yellow triangle normally suggests Download Mode so no you have not bricked your phone yet. If you had you would see a different and rather obvious screen where you would know you have bricked your phone. As long as you can initiate Download Mode and you have the tools on your machine, Odin, Heimdall etc than you should be able to recover from this situation quite easily. It's always best to read as much as possible when choosing a Rom / Kernel pairing if you are moving away from stock. Even though we may have the same devices it does not mean we will all have the same experience when flashing new Roms...

I would suggest Firmware first, then Kernel.

Hope you resolve your issue.

black screen on sg2

Hi I had a problem with my sg2. I was trying to remove the yellow triangle after putting ICS on it. All of a sudden it went to yellow triangle screen and then went blank. However I did not noticed the the phone came on still but no Galaxy boot up screen. If you have this sort of problem, the phone can still go into download mode.

1. Take the battery out and put it back in

2. Hold the Home(middle) button, volume down and power on button for about 10 sec. Just as you would to put in download mode

3. Open Odin and leave it open

4 While Odin is open press the volume up (Odin will indicate that it is in Download mode since the phone cannot).

5. Download the files from this link http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=788778&d=1321782075

6. Extract the files and click the PDA button in Odin and select the file called 1

7. The phone will start but only stays at yellow triangle and turn off.

8. Now u can easily put the phone in DL mode and Recovery mode and re-flash with an ICS version you your choice. Either using Odin or putting it on your SD.

This worked for me...Using the original Kernel did nothing at all. Enjoy...I still need to get rid of my triagle after reflashing but I think I need an original ICS kernel or something. I will experiment with my phone more...Hope this help.
[HTC Titan] Avatar28:
Okay, I'm not sure what or how but I've somehow got something (actually several somethings) inside the lens of my Titan. Whatever it is shows up on all my photos. It's not on the outside of the lens so it must be something on the inside. At least one or two of the spots showed up within a couple of days of me getting the phone but then they went away. Now they're back and brought some friends. I can only assume that it's something underneath the external lens cover. I could try to RMA my phone but then I would lose my Chevron unlock with no way to recover my token or get a new one. :-(

I was thinking about removing the lens cover and seeing if I can clean it out that way. Unless anyone has better suggestions. I will try to update this with a picture of what I'm seeing.

Thanks. Before or after removing the camera cover?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
I hope you flashed it with a CWM or else this is what likely happens.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jess813:
I did flash with cwm but what does that have to do with it ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Usually flashing a kernel without CWM tends to screw up some factors of the ROM, but seems many are complaining about the issue atm about rotation,

I have the p4 edition for the 7500, What model is yours?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jess813:
I first had Task 14 and thought it might've been the Tom so i went to CM9 and nope still have it ...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Do a factory reset, it should fix it as far as my experience is concerned
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jess813:
Do u recommend through CWM or in settings?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
If you have your stuff backed up via TitaniumBackup then best would be via device as some devblock's can only be erased within the phone menu

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] legitkid69:
I don't like ICS on my vivid i was going to put HoliRaider on my phone. But I have some questions, Do I just install the Rom over my ICS or do I need to uninstall it and then install holiraider. I just need to know the steps, or what to do.

Please help me
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
You can just CWM it on top of your current ICS setup. Remember to wipe data and cache after install.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] legitkid69:
Are you sure?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] legitkid69:
And if I do just put it on top of ICS can I download it on my phone and install it, then export it to my ad card or will I have to put it on my sd card from the computer?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
You should be able to. HBOOTs are backwards compatible.

You do need to fastboot-flash the appropriate boot.img on your computer.

Put the ROM on your external SD, somehow.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] legitkid69:
Ok so what Rom would you recommend? Besides ICS
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Honestly, I'm a fan of stock debloated ROMs when it comes to HTC Sense. If you want the top of the line with respect to GB-based ROMs, go with HoliRaider. It's by far and away the best available. Plus, not built on putrid ATT base or themed with ATT's faux-G rubbish.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] legitkid69:
Thank you I really appropriate your help :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lebmb:
be careful when you do that since now you have the ics radio, i had some issues when going back to gb, biggest problem is that i cant use the speaker phone because it keeps causing an echo and everyone i talk to keeps hearing themselves back many times. i didn't have that issue before i ran the ics ruu and i dont have that issue on the ics roms, i think that's the reason for that, can't think of anything else. if u downgrade, let me know what happens with u

Is anyone using the Crawrj hacked hotspot getting an error 67 after some time using it? I know I am and this is the fourth time this month I am getting this problem :(. Starting to get pissed...Thanks a lot guys!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Seems like you are on ICS. Even on GB, check out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1520005

Most of people said it's working on ICS and GB. For me, it works on ICS. Follow the instruction on the thread. There's a little tuning required to make it work on ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rapman543:
this has happened to me 4 times in a month on both gb and ics and I believe it is dues to the hacked Sprint hotspot. I believe it is causing a mismatch on my account which is in turn causing the error 67.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
If you moved around between ICS and GB, some times some applciations needs to be clean installed. Did you cleaned up cache/data and removed apps every time?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rapman543:
Yup, cleaned cache, data, dalvik, and ran Calk's Format all for E4GT, and it still happened. It happened even before I switched to ICS.

[Kindle Fire General] Juicy555:
Ordered a kindle for 190$ free shipping off ebay, should be here by tomorrow or wensday :)

Just a few Questions...

1) Im aware google play isnt on the kindle fire. I KNOW you can install it and im planning on using the kindle fire utility. But I also heard of many people saying the apps say its not compatible?? Is this on basically all the games? Amazon apps store is good enough for me but I really enjoy Draw something on my android phone.

2) I know you can use launchers... so can I basically run ICS without having to flash anything? I know not actually ICS, but Will it actually work like a normal android tablet?

3) Is their any other cool things I can do with it?

Thanks for the answers :D
[Kindle Fire General] Jake33108:
1. Yes, a lot of things don't work by default, but there is an easy work around for it to give you access to more.

2. If I understand this question correctly, yes. You will be able to install whatever launcher you want and configure it however you want and it can work like a normal Android Tablet.

3. Well ICS is actually working pretty well on the Kindle Fire if you get into flashing ROMS. Other than that there's plenty of games and emulators if you're into that.
[Kindle Fire General] Juicy555:
Whats the easiest work around? I've been searching for a few hours and I want to get the most out of google play on my kindle fire without installing a bunch of stuff.. Its not that im lazy, but im a pretty casual user and wouldnt want to risk bricking anything.
[Kindle Fire General] Jake33108:
Here's a link to a thread about it for CM7 and here's one for ICS. If you're staying rooted stock I'm not sure what you'll need to do.
[Kindle Fire General] Juicy555:
hmm... So it will work with any ICS rom?

Thinking in to it installing ICS would be nice to use it like a normal tablet :)
[Kindle Fire General] Jake33108:
Yeah, that's for any ICS. Hardware acceleration isn't working for ICS yet so some videos don't work, but other than that ICS runs great.
[Kindle Fire General] Juicy555:
Does youtube/netflix work?
[Kindle Fire General] Jake33108:
HD youtube doesn't, some videos do. Netfilx does not yet, but devs are hard at work on getting it working and will have HWA relatively soon, although it could still be a number of weeks.
[Kindle Fire General] Juicy555:
Ouch, I use Netflix all the time but I guess its a trade off for now.. Same thing with flash?

Could Netlix work if it just didnt play in HD?
[Kindle Fire General] Jake33108:
Same thing with flash, I would suggest just using a CM7 rom until HWA gets fixed then, Netflix and other videos are working for them.
[Kindle Fire General] Juicy555:
Any suggestions?

Most stable/smooth would be what im looking for
[Kindle Fire General] Jake33108:
Sorry, I'm no help with that, I've been running ICS since the day I got my Fire.

[Motorola Droid 3] zadops:
Hello

I wanna ask you guys if you know any SIM Unlock tool for my Droid 3 XT862 from Verizon. Firstly, I'm not in US, so for me contact VZ is impossible. I did purchase for the unlock codes from some websites, but non of them work. So my very last choice is praying for any tool that could unlock my phone.

If you know any one, or how to do that, please help me, my hero

Thanks in advance
[Motorola Droid 3] demdex:
Unlock site

http://www.cellunlocker.net

i used it for my droid 3 and used the guide to get it working with tmobile in the usa but after unlock you will be able to use it anywhere. the guide is only necessary if you want to use it in the usa:D
[Motorola Droid 3] zadops:
the main point is my cell phone isn't unlocked GSM yet. I bought some code on internet, they are all the same code, and it doesn't work with mine
[Motorola Droid 3] j0an:
same problem here.
[Motorola Droid 3] KayxGee1:
Did you input the code correctly?
[Motorola Droid 3] LaZiODROID:
Isn't Verizon known to replace the standard Motorola SIM unlock codes with their very own (which forces the user to contact Verizon to get the code, where they would request that the user have an account in good standing for x amount of months before they will give it up?)

This happened to me when I bought a Verizon Droid 2 Global during a visit to the US. No more Verizon phones for me... ever!
[Motorola Droid 3] NIGHTMARE-:
I purchased two codes from ebay both works
[Motorola Droid 3] hpark21:
My understanding is that once user disconnects their phone from Verizon, sometimes Verizon will replace the unlock code with their own code making the code generators to not work unfortunately.

One can put their D3 on Verizon and receive the unlock code (as I understand - so, if you have a friend on Verizon who won't need an unlock code to ask to put your phone on his/her account briefly and request unlock code?). I made sure that the person selling me the phone got the unlock code and unlock the phone BEFORE selling it to me.
[Motorola Droid 3] RoadToNever:
I noticed one company offers a more expensive unlock code service beside the standard rate serivce. Not sure if its actually increases you chances or anything, here's the link:http://www.swiftunlock.net/UnlockServices/Motorola.html

Not being argumentative in the slightest - I'd just stay out if I was - you've sparked my curiosity. What else are they for then? I thought they were literally just for telling you about speed traps.
[Off-topic] XxLostSoulxX:
your not argumentative at all, but they have many uses like for instance the GPS modules tell your speed, red light cameras, accuracy on speed.

The bands it has like for instance a 15 band has 7 types of radars, 6 lasers, and 2 safety signals. like when a firetruck or emergency vehicles, etc...

several other reasons too, just gives you a warning doesn't give you the GO to speed.

[Off-topic] frostedunit:
Don't waste your money on a Cobra. When they came out 30 years ago they were the best, but they have fallen seriously behind.

Look at Escort/Beltronics. They're the same company but I think they still sell under both names. Best radar detectors out there hands down.

And make sure they are legal in the state you plan on using it. The fines and hassle of getting caught are much much worse than the speeding ticket.
[Off-topic] XxLostSoulxX:
Dude my post above just said they were legal haha and like I already stated I don't have that kind of money nothing more than 120$ sorry 500$ is just fricking ridicolous.

But for cobra what would you recommend?
[Off-topic] AllGamer:
if you are going to get one, get a good one, with laser detection and such

those will cost you about $300, starts at around $250

they do work, except for when the come is hidding beneath your windshield level of view

LOL :p that's the only time they got me

they should invent X-Ray detectors so it can monitor through under the hood, then you'll get a nice 360 monitoring :D

So please everyone please just tell me anything good in the 100$ Range THanks
[Off-topic] jburnette87:
Honestly,in that price range,I would just wait on getting one. They typically won't do enough to warrant spending 100-120. if you can't get at least an 8500 x50, I wouldn't waste my money. I wouldn't buy anything under 200.
[Off-topic] XxLostSoulxX:
Can you honestly tell me how that escor would be better than a 9550g Cobra? Because cobra is made by Bel and Escort is the same company is Bel

I've owned a cobra. Be it an older cheaper model from like 02. But like I said, "I" wouldn't buy anything less than an x50. I couldn't justify it. For the price,I'm sure it's a decent RD judging from a quick search, just not something I would buy.
[Off-topic] vinc3stylez:
Anything under $300 won't do you much good. Look up the Valentine 1, passport escort, or belltronics sti. They are well known and respected. You can do some research at radarroy.com its pretty informative

My first question is: is it possible to get the OTA update on a rooted phone?

The 2nd question is there something I can do to get the Software Update check work?

I realise that my first question may answer this one as well, it's only just that all of the other ROM's I've tried did at least seem to contact a checking service and come back with a response that No Updates have been found. This one just keeps waiting for a response and never gets one.

Want to at least try the official OTA ICS update from Vodafone UK if possible, without having to load a stock ROM and locking my phone again.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
It has always been traditionally said not to apply an OTA on a rooted phone as, historically, it's caused nothing but problems. Whether the same is true now I can't say BUT I would not recommend it personally

CWM needs to go as well - you need the stock recovery

Thanks for the advice. I'll have to go stock if CM9 is a long way off. Or try 7.x again, although I'll really miss ICS.

I think as long as you have stock recovery but are S-OFF; it shouldn't be an issue. I looked at some previous posts , albeit from the Evo forum and it seems to be fine. I could be wrong, though.
