You should be able to do a factory data reset from the stock recovery, the stock image is stored on a hidden partition and will return you to factory settings.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Zionator:
Hmmm very wired i did a odin flash to stock rom but as it was booting it asked me to enter the encryption code and right after it entered a bootloop so i flashed another stock rom and still it asked me to enter the encryption during boot and then as i enter the password it enters another bootloop :eek:

Can anyone plz help me out here as i have no clue what to do and i have now tried the only 2 stock roms i could get my hands on:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ujnikm:
nearly every rom has a flashable zip file via cmw to overclock cpu to definite speed but the questien is :what does rom overclocking depend on ? that makes a rom overclock cpu to a definite speed and another rom to another speed ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] felipevsw:
What makes a ROM overclockable is its kernel. So when you install a .zip file to overclock, you are installing a new kernel, or a patch to it. So it will be possible for you to overclock. And the speed is dependable on the kernel. Different ROMs may be the same OC speed (not necessarily the same kernel, but one with similar speed configuration).
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sk327:
The Rom developer overclocks CPU by understanding the safest overclockable frequency by identifying chipset of mobile. Then he edits ramdisk in boot.img

Hi all,

Today I tried installing Hybrom v15 on my sk17i device.

Bootloader unlocked, yes through SE,

Flashed Stock kernel with boof KERNELS successfully,

OMG!! what I am gonna do now?? Don't panic, calm down.

I downloaded .42 Firmware, flashed my firmware and thankfully my phone started again. But I still wanted to try Hybrom, So,

Attempt 2:

Firmware : .42

Bootloader unlocked already,

Flashed stock kernel with boof KERNELS succcessfuly,

Installed Hybrom sucessfully, but it is taking forever to boot!!!

OMG!! what I am gonna do now?? Dont panic, calm down.

I have .42 Firmware so I can flash it with anytime.

But still I want Hybrom on my device. :(

So any suggestion what am I doing wrong?

And also which kernel should I use?

And need help of pros around here badly.

I am developer but Android is like new turf for me.

So any help with resource is appreciated!!!

Thanks & Regards.

Wipe data....wipe cache...wipe dalvik cache.. and try with other kernel like rage kernel..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rajdeepce:
Installed Rage kernel 3.0, but the result is same.

Stuck at booting from last 15minutes, now I am giving up my hopes on Hybrom.

Though thanks for reply. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
I have a LWW, Hybrom has worked for me with Rage Kernel, X Kernel and booff's own kernel.

My idea would also be, that before install, factory reset/wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and then install zip from sdcard.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rajdeepce:
Tried everything , but no luck so far..

Also tried NeroDriod n MIUI, but same problem.

It is taking forever to boot.

I guess I have to settle down with custom kernel only.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sonu3377:
same problem for my mini(ST15i), cant boot after installing hybrom
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
First boot usually takes longer to create new Dalvik cache.

I have used many custom ROMs on my LWW, never had that kind of problem.

Could you confirm, if your bootloader is really unlocked? Dialer, *#*#7378423#*#*, Service info, Configuration, what does it say about bootloader?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rajdeepce:
In worst case, how long possibly it can take to boot for the first time?

And Yes, bootloader is unloacked.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Unlocked or unlock allowed?

I am not aware of the time, long time since I last flashed new ROM.

Ihad problem yesterday.

Was going from hybrom v15 to v16.

Factory/cache wipe and dalvik wipe, installed hybrom v16.

Phone started but hangs and reboots if i try install apk´s, from market or from sd card, same problem.

Ok, giave it a second try, flashed again and same problem.... hmmmm

going back to v15, and wtf, same problem now on v15 rom :confused:

ok started searching and reading, and found A2SDGUI is the bad boy on phone :D

I have 2 partitions on my sd card and forgot to clean, format or wipe or whatever you like to do, to clean it.

Phone was still charging battery for next try, i formated sd card and then partition it ( 8gb card and gave 1 gb to secon partition ) copy hybrom v16 to the card only.

After flashing hybrom v16 works like a charm, but A2SDGUI still says Apps on SD but info tab shows nothing, all is empty... i tryed 4 different fileformats to format second partition on my SD card, but nothing shows up in A2SDGUI, so i deinstalled it and use now Link2SD, and it works like charm now on my ST15i Mini

xRecovery? No, you should install with CWM. Do this:

Install GingerDX

Make a full wipe

Flash the Alfs vold update (I think it's already included in GDX but anyway)

Flash the addon (adreno libs)

Wipe cache, dalvik-cache

Reboot.

So my WiFi has been working fine on my prime connecting to any network till yesterday. I went to work, connected to the WiFi network, everything working fine. Then I disconnected from the network and tried to reconnect and it wouldnt connect. All I get is it saying obtaining ip address. I went to my girls after work, same issue there, sees the network but all I get it obtaining ip address and it never goes past that. It does connect to my sensation hotspot though. I hard reset it, even factory reset it and still have the issue...any ideas?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
Ever try resetting the router?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
I would never have reset over it.. not without rebooting routers/modems first and it sounds like you didnt try this. I get this issue now and then - rare - and a router reboot always fixes it. I never have to resort to drastic stuff like phone or tablet resets. The fact it can talk to your phones hotspot - not router related - even more signals to the router as first place to look.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robertg9:
I agree....this will work for when he's at his "girl's", but the bigger problem is the office network. That can't be rebooted at will.

Best suggestion I have is to go into the Adanced mode, and where an option "modify Network"...choose that....sometimes just hitting SAVE works, sometimes I re-enter the WEP key and hit save.

In worst case, you could say "forget network" and try starting from scratch....

Good luck,

Bob

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forcystos:
I'm looking for a ROM for my girlfriend's Captivate. Basically the one giant caveat she has with her current ROM (CM7 stable) is horrible battery life. I'm talking -10% from unplugged with absolutely no screen on time. One problem with the phone is the power button is stuck, so she relies on volume wake and sleep from the notification power widget. I need something that can provide these two features (can be GB or ICS, doesn't matter) plus the best possible battery life (I know the usual YMMV, but at least on an average). She doesn't even care about other features since she only uses Facebook, Gtalk, and the regular calling and messaging features, so it can be as stripped down as possible. Oh, and she likes Touchwiz, so if it can have that it'll be a nice bonus. Thank you!

So, i saw this post :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=761045... i made exactly what it says, my surprice was that apparently my Captivate was already unlock (in the line doesn't appear a "01"), so, i prove to lock and test the code that I bought... doesn't work.... unlocked it, but i have the same problem... can you give me a clue?? should I get back to the stock froyo and try the code i bought???

I knew I'd get that type of response. I've really got no issue with the cost of the item, but paying more for shipping then the price of the item is the issue. Cable ends up being about $10 shipped~

Ok, tell ya what, I'll buy one for 4+5 and sell it to you for $10+ free shipping :D

In all honesty I kinda figured that's what you meant. That sort of thing drives me nuts when you see something advertised at a great price but then realize after S&H you're paying more then the non sale price locally. I was just having a little fun with ya.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] clockcycle:
I gathered as much :p

Yea, like those sellers on ebay trying to catch people off guard, selling an item for much less, then charging $50-$100 for shipping.. Crazyness..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
Theres actually a far far more dubious reason for this. Never ever buy from these sellers. Example:

Going Price: $100

Seller: $10 + $75 S&H

Deceptive, but still below market cost right? Ok you get the item and its damaged, or a more likely a knock off. You contact the seller ticked off. He then apologizes and offers a refund to which you agree. You return the item on costing you $12 shipping costs then check your paypal and there is your refund of $10, because the rest was S&H. eBay is fighting these people and canceling their ads if reported, but many many people have been scammed and continue to be.

Anyone know how to accomplish this?

I dont think You can butvyou can add another account the default one. Then add the account with the purchased apps just to install them. Then remove it. That's the way I do it on my devices
[General Questions and Answers] 85gallon:
Open a gmail account for your kid and use that on the tablet.

Then root the tablet and add gmail.google.com and www.youtube.com to the hosts file.
[General Questions and Answers] rudolphe:
The root method's a little extreme. My devices are rooted but I don't wanna do that to my kids tablets.

It's kind of silly that you can't just sign into your account in the market.
[General Questions and Answers] 85gallon:
You can use a browser interface with the market. Just use dolphin or browser of your choice to browse to market.android.com It will redirect to the new Play URL. Log in and you can push apps to your devices. The device must be linked to your account. When you click install it will ask you which device to send the app to. Click the device and it will download and install automatically to the device you specified.

That was easy. If I'd actually tried, I could have easily broken 2500. That's not a brag...it's more of a commentary on how useless Quadrant is as a performance measure.

Seriously. Quadrant is completely pointless. The number have no bearing on reality. That I/O number in particular is inflated to stupid levels because of the way that Quadrant tests I/O. In Quadrant, the difference between rfs and ext4 is in the hundreds. In the real world, the differences between the two are imperceptible.

Quadrant is the Android equivalent of a penis measuring contest.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
I'd argue that too. My original Galaxy Tab running the European GB release scores about 1000 in quadrant. My Charge scores as you saw above. From a user perception, there is virtually no difference between the two. In fact, the Tab edges out the Charge at some things.

I'll say it again. Quadrant is meaningless. Antutu is better. It's still artificial, but the two devices score within 100 of each other on Antutu...that is much more in line with reality.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
I agree. It's beyond meaningless. I remember on my Droid2, if I enabled stagefright, I would gain 1200 points on my Quadrant score. It can be faked/cheated too many ways to be useful.

Now before you flash any new ROM, just follow these steps.

BACKUP

1) Open Titanium Backup, make sure none of your filters are selected, then choose Menu->Batch->Redo backups for modified data

(OFF) 2) You can optionally backup Titanium Backup's apk again using ES File Explorer. This is only to ensure that when you install it in the new ROM, you have the latest version

3) Take a Nandroid Backup if you wish to(recommended).

Perform a full wipe, flash the new ROM, and reboot.

When the startup wizard pops up -

(OFF) Skip the sign in to Google part, but complete the wizard.

(ON) Sign in using your Google account, and complete the wizard.

RESTORE

(OFF) 1) Open the File Manager that came with the ROM, and go into backups/apps(or wherever you saved your apk) and tap on the Titanium Backup apk to install it

(ON) 1) Open Play Store, and download Titanium Backup

2) Open Titanium Backup, and go to Backup/Restore

3) Choose Menu->Filters, scroll down, select your label("Important") and hit Apply.

4) If any of your "Important" apps are already installed, tap it and choose Restore->Data Only.

5) After that Menu->Batch->Restore missing apps with data

6) Deselect the apps that you dont need and tap "Run the batch operation"

7) You can repeat steps 3,4,5 and 6 for all your labels now or at a later time.

(OFF) Before proceeding, you need to make sure that all the apps that were added to the Accounts & Sync section in the previous ROM, are now installed in the current ROM. Apps like Google+, Facebook, HaxSync, LinkedIn, Twitter, Whatsapp etc. This is because we are about to restore the Accounts, and these apps need to be there if you want their "Accounts" to get restored correctly. Also, when we eventually restore Contacts, the restoration will be more complete if the accounts related to those contacts already exist. So we need to set this up beforehand.

This is where you start restoring System data. Now you need to be careful with this. ROMs that are completely different from each other may start acting buggy if you restore this data. I would suggest not doing this across different versions of Android. And if you know that the 2 ROMs are from different bases then you should definitely pick what you're restoring here.

8) Choose Menu->Filters.

9) In Filter by status, choose Backed up

10) In Filter by Type, choose System and hit Apply

11) And then Menu->Batch->Restore all system data. Now before you run the operation, deselect Contacts Storage. If your new ROM is very different from your old one, then deselect Settings Storage too. If you see anything else that you feel may not be compatible, deselect those too.

12) Tap "Run the batch operation"

13) Reboot(or Hot Reboot)

(OFF) 14) Now open Titanium Backup, Backup/Restore, tap Contacts Storage and restore Data Only

(OFF) 15) Reboot(or Hot Reboot)

(ON) 14) By now, your Calendar and contacts should have gotten sync'ed automatically. Just add other accounts to your Settings->Accounts&Sync section, and the rest of your data should get sync'ed up

(ON) 15) Open SMS Backup+ and Restore your call logs and sms/mms.

but trust me, its just how i've explained it. Once you set it up, its a piece of cake ;)
