Thank you very much sir!I already read your guide. This is the part i want.

" [2] ADVANCED BOOT PROBLEMS

S-OFF

"I'm S-OFF, I can't boot recovery and my phone doesn't

boot"

For one reason or another, your recovery image is corrupted

and when you try to boot into recovery, all you get is the

HTC screen and your phone doesn't boot. It is relatively

simple to fix, and there is more than one way to go about

doing this. All you need to do, is to flash a new recovery

image.

Possible causes

- I have no idea, however if somebody has an explanation

then feel free to PM me.

Repairing recovery, booting phone:

NOTE: If you have a PVT4 Device, go to "Flashing custom

recovery". If you are unsure, check just to be safe.

#METHOD 1#

Method One uses Android Flasher to flash the recovery

image.

[STEP1] - Battery pull. Hold the BACK button and the

POWER button to boot into FASTBOOT mode.

[STEP2] - Download Android Flasher

[STEP3] - Download the recovery image . Put it in a place you

can remember.

[STEP4] - Run android flasher, tick "Recovery", and press

"Begin"

[STEP5] - Browse to where you downloaded the recovery

image, select it, and press "open"

[STEP6] - repeat [1] from [STEP4] onwards

#METHOD 2#

Method two uses cmd and requires Android SDK to be set

up.

[STEP1] - Battery pull. Hold the BACK button and the

POWER button to boot into FASTBOOT mode.

[STEP2] - Download the recovery image . Rename it to

"recovery.img" for simplicity, and place it in the following

directory:

Code:

C:\

[STEP3] - then in cmd type the following commands

Code:

cd c:\android-sdk\tools

fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img

fastboot oem gencheckpt (this command boots you into recovery, ignore the feedback from

[STEP4] - repeat [1] from [STEP4] onwards"

Im trying with AndroidFlasher .Problem is link to recovery.img is not working.Can you tell me the full name of recovery i should google and download?

TIA
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
download ClockWorkMod recovery for bravo then you can flash any custom rom... 4ext is highly recommended but you should download it via app (download from here)

Is it really necessary to open another thread about your problem?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
If link is down then use any other recovery from the recoveries section.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Spectre:
Hi all,

Newbie here.

When I first bought my SGS2, every time I had to set it up, the default language was in French (prior to touching the android in the initial setup screen). Didn't check the phone details (baseband info) at that time. I then rooted it and installed CM7 using the procedure in their wiki. Prior to release of ICS, I decided to get it back to stock. I noted the baseband only at this time which showed as XXKI3 under CM7. Looked for stock ROM but Intratech's link was down and CheckFUS didn't have any info on XXKI3. I noticed the XXLPQ ICS ROM was available so decided to install it using Odin3. Language at initial screen was again in French. Everything seems to be working fine (2 days now).

My question: is this (XXLPQ) the correct ICS ROM for my phone?

Also, did I interpret the baseband information correctly, i.e. any ROM with the same first 2 characters (XX in my case) are compatible and refer to the same region? What does the last 3 characters stand for?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:
XX = Europe

U can also run other basebands

Here is the stock rom: http://hotfile.com/dl/130600675/d481a34/I9100XXKI3.rar.html

Password:samfirmware.com
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Spectre:
So XXLPQ or XX-whatever is OK to use right? In that case I'll stick to the XXLPQ that I have now.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:
Yes u can flash any i9100 even if it doesn't start with XX

What is a good android emulator for windows xp?

Is there any way I can try out Sense 4.0 on my pc with an emulator?

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerotNS:
The emulator that comes with the Android SDK is ok especially now that they allowed hardware acceleration.Abd as fir the sense thing you would have to load up a custom rom and there is a tutorial on how to do this just google for it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
The most realistic one is the Android sdk since it emulates ARM hardware which means it can get a bit laggy. The smoothest one is Bluestacks alpha but its running an x86 build of Android which makes it fast on x86 hardware but restricts apps. Looking forward to their beta that is supposed to have ARM compatibility and still be fast.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parcx.01:
The android sdk I tried but I cant install .apk that are on my computer. Ill have to try installing a rom.

Bluestacks looks interesting. Is there a download link for the alpha?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerotNS:
You can install apk just use the file explorer option in ddms or adb to push them
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mibu1960:
Yes but.....

Hello,

Yes, but the beta version coming soon, actually android 2.3.4 ( in the future ??? )

asks go(d)ogle or on XDA there's mod

Note : for XP, need SP3 and 1gb memory (min.)

Use HD-ApkHandler.exe in the install dir ( the two services "BlueStacks Log Rotator Service"(for log) and "BlueStacks Android Service" (for SDCard.fs) must be run).

Tricks to edit SDCard.fs > Stop services and use Winimage.exe, it work very fine

MiBu1960
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
They pulled the alpha download since a beta is coming soon. Google the following file and you'll find 3rd party download links. Its about 120MB.

But I don't think they are too far away from the beta release, put your email in on their website to be a beta tester. Really hoping the beta is running ICS. I look forward to seeing how smooth they can get ARM emulation running. They want it to work well enough for games so the end product shouldn't be laggy. Part of the reason the alpha is fast is because its only virtualizing since its running an x86 build of Android.

does it work on LPQ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] LegendK95:
The method works on LPQ
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] readon1:
Sorry, i had to be more specific x). I mean does the zipfile work on LPQ?

Many thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Mirko ddd:
Probably not. Public number must match with the one in framework-res assigned to the string "swipe screen to unlock"

The guide is very clear, just need to follow it ;-)

As soon as i get home i will attach the one for LPQ :-)

To do this I will need 1minute ;-)

By the way LK95, great stuff ;-)

Sorry if this whas already posted but why don't you just replace the jar file with the original?.

Steps: ( Need root )

1. Make a copy from your Android.Policy.JAR file.

The phone will automatic replace and reboot the phone and voila text is gone

Hi Friends,

I see that the ICS Update will arrive sometime between may/june. i have a rooted Galaxy note using this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1329360

i just wonder when the time comes do i have to unroot to update or can i just update.. im new at this android world so i would appreciate any help i can get, thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Dont worry, sure you will get update to ICS

But how you have to update this can mentioned only after release of ICS, And yes it take few hrs to know just after release of ICS, you need is to just stay tuned here.

Just remember i said above in term of keeping your root intact. If you dont want to keep root, just you can flash Stock ROM of your country anytime, N just update ICS over Kies whenever it release over Kies.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahidhussain:
Hi,

I have similar question. Previously I had a KK5 rom before I gave my note to Samsung in warranty for screen replacement. They flashed XLA4 rom and CSC is also changed now to JPLA1. Now KIES says it cannot upgrade my ROM. My question is: is it still possible to receive OTA updates (including ICS when it is available). Please note that my phone is not rooted. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
To get update with Kies/OTA

your device should have installed ROM from your region, as well CSC should also be same as your region

Check CSC with *#272*IMEI#

Remember, changing CSC will wipe off data.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahidhussain:
Sorry to bother you again. using *#272*IMEI# shows JED (which is correct for Saudi Arabia). There are other options to choose from e.g. KSA (which I think is also for Saudi Arabia but I don't know). Do you think changing will solve the problem? And is there any other danger (other than wiping the data) with changing the CSC? Thanks again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Nothing more thn data wipe happen after changing csc.

Your installed rom shud b same for your region as csc.

If your rom is older for region, kies will show msg, you have update. If your rom is latest for this region, kies will msg you have latest firmware.

In other condition kies won't recognise your rom n won't allow to update.

Hello World,

Just wanted to get started in custom rom development and wanted to know if there were any guides or any teams I can join so that I can learn.

I know bits of Java, C++ and python. I'm a great problem solver and have a considerable amount of time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephoneguyusa:
A quick Google search will answer your questions ;) that is how I learned. Not trying to be an ass but the best way to learn is to do tuns of research and take apart a few roms to get an idea of how things look.

sent from my GSM Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Legend28469:
Thanks for the reply. But most Google searches refer to a kitchen method of making roms. What exactly would I be researching as I am new to mobile development. The taking apart of roms sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the input.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
The best option by far is to setup your own build environment and sync the aosp repo, then compile your rom.

From there you start digging in code and make any minor beginner changes you want as practice, then compile and see if it flashes. Your changes to code can get more complex as you get comfortable.

Or dig thru some of the github repo's commits to see what the devs are doing. Thats what i do and you learn a ton.

Of course you have to decide, you want to make kernel changes or front end rom changes like the frameworks or systemUI etc? Its a lotta fun good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Legend28469:
Okay. So I'll start a development diary tonight. Or sometime tomorrow and someone can let me know if I'm at least on the right path...

Thank you both for input... AOSP. Here I come =D
[LG Thrill 4G] Rick Tillery:
(Obvious Noob warning---) A friend helped me root my Thrill, install ClockworkMod Recovery, and then install CM7 on my Thrill. But I would like to try the LG GB release. Is it necessary to backtrack all the way back to stock to do this (i.e. reinstall the stock ROM, reinstall the stock recovery, unroot, etc.)?

My friend tried using the LG upgrade tool on his LG phone without going back to stock and ended up bricking it. He says that usually within a few days of release, a CMR compatible zip file (usually already rooted) appears here on XDA (I haven't seen it), which makes things easier (but obviously he didn't wait for it himself).

Will a zip be possible for the Thrill GB? (The file seems quite large (420MB), so I'm guessing there is a lot of media included.) Or should I just bite the bullet and backtrack?

Rick
[LG Thrill 4G] Kaleptik:
I'm assuming that the official update method was used.

Just use this method after downloading the update. No bricking.
