[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomA:
alright i have this problem and i am quite panicking now.

i will set everything straight , i hope someone reading the forums can help me asap !

- have a sgs2 unbranded (hk)

- has ICS 4.0.3 stock rom, rooted.

- i don't remember if usb debug mode was enabled

- i messed up in some way with the file /system/build.prop but there is a backup in /system/ called build.prop.bak

- phone doesn't boot anymore as it's stuck at the logo

- recovery and download modes work however

#need a way to delete the build.prop and replace the bloody file with the one backupped. I would like to avoid having to format the phone as i do not remember when was my last kies backup...

what i tried:

-adb shell: it doesn't work. for some stupid reasons the drivers won't be recognized (i have download android sdk and usb drivers), but when i plug the phone in recovery windows just says Device Unknown and even if i update drivers manually it would say that current ones are functioning so no need to update.

if i connect the phone to usb while it's stuck at boot logo, it would recognize the device through samsung drivers (except MTP of course, that would give error).

in both cases adb shell doesn't list any connected device: even if i kill-server and start-server it still doesn't list anything.

-tried using droid explorer in both frozenboot mode and recovery mode, doesn't see anything.

-tried using that other program called SuperOneClick or something like that, that has a "check drivers" button in advanced: if the phone is in recovery pressing the button doesn't do anyhing; if the phone is in frozenboot it asks to download and install some drivers but when i press yes a message appears with " no more data is available " !

i tried this procedure on both win7x64 and winXPx86: same results. reading around , someone says that adb shell will never work if usb debug is de-actived, like i said i cannot remember if that's the case.

-zip package: i created a package to try and overwrite the file with a custom working one i got. i put the package in the root of the micro sd , put the sd in the phone and booted in recovery.

but when i am in recovery the bloody CWM 5.0.2.7 says error to mount /sdcard, or E: could not mount /sdcard , same if i try to mount/unmount /sdcard. if i go to mount external usb card or whatever it says that a file or a lib (cant remember the exact message) was not found.

i have no more ideas of how to solve this, please be patient :<

edit: is there a way to soft format the system folder so that i don't have to properly wipe all my user data and it only affects the system without other contents?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
If adb doesn't work hen you are in trouble, better download some non wipe rom and flash it over the existing rom so that your user data will still be there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomA:
can you expand on this?

give any suggestion/example?

isn't there a soft temp rom for emergencies like this that you can just start, make modifies to fix and reboot (similar to the process to boot ubuntu on windows, fix issues and then restart normal windows? )

i would so like to make adb work.. but how.!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
probebly will not work but try backing up of your ROM from CWM working or not..then just back up current one...

you can restore apps & data lateron from nandroid backup with some application like titanium backup donated version.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomA:
i made a backup . but since the external sd card isn't found by the recovery, now the backup is sitting on the internal memory.

the problem is that, if i flash something with odin now, won't odin wipe everything in the internal memory killing my backup as well?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
nope....it will be there dont worry,

just check one more option, go to storage and mount, there is one option mount usb storage, after connecting your phone to PC just mout that and check, are you able to access the SDcard from the computor ot not, if yes, just copy paste your backup to the computor.

then flash a firmware from ODIN
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mljjlm:
Did the very same thing myself yesterday.. Most ICS-roms from Samsung is non-wipe, so you can just flash it over again with Odin.. Then you just need to root and make customizations (if any) again :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomA:
nope. i just tried this , and when i "mount /sdcard" it says " Error mounting /sdcard! "

when i try mount USB storage , it says " E: unable to open ums lunfile (no such file or directory) "

could you be more specific on the process ? can you suggest me one to flash with odin ? i need to enter the OS , transfer my backup on my hard disk and then restore the whole thing.

currently my kernel is CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.tar

and my firmware is GT-I9100_BRI_I9100ZSLPE_I9100OZSLPE_I9100ZSLPE.tar
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
you try to reflash once more CF-Root (.TAR)only from odin

then check "E: cant mout...error" is rectified or not.... also check booting or not,

still no hope...you flash the same firmware again and Cf-root, your SD card data will be there for sure as far as our expereicne till now..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomA:
first part of your comment: i tried reflashing the kernel; no changes. same errors

second part: shall i try using the same firmware from my previous post then?? not other roms? after that i will put the root and check if internal memory is still there. if it is i will copy it on my hd and restore.

if it is not there anymore..............
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomA:
so the end of the story.

thanks to anyone who helped.

the resolution was much easier than everything else.

opened odin, pda loaded my same firmware which was the HK stock update to ICS and reflashed.

what it did was apparently and overhaul of the system folder, that's it.

any data was still there, as well as the backup that i did and all my apps etc etc etc.

however especially at first it looked a bit unstable, with processes failing randomly. now it seems it has stabilized a bit, but still when i try to run a Kies backup, the phone kies process dies and the backup gets stopped.

i still don't know how to fix this, but i'll be looking into it.

so, the morale out of this was at least for me: if there is some **** up within the system folder just reflash the same rom installed. i feel so stupid now for having made such a fuss when the solution was so easy and straightforward
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
NICE that you finaly came across and able to boot , now you make the Titanium back of your all apps and data transfer to PC....forget the system data.

and move to a nice stable ROM

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malejo121:
well i have tried the AOSP and i really like it. but there are some problems that i can´t deal with them.. like

- the screen doesn`t let me use my 5 inch widgets and for that reason most of my homescreen is with out any use.

- all my itunes music are disable, i mean i can´t play it... don´t know why.

- the lack of use of my s-pen. i really need it some times.

- some times it turns off, but then it turns on :D... said that, at least 3 times a day it freeze and i need to take the battery out or wait for the phone to turn off by itself.

well, sorry that´s not the point.

what i really need, is to find a way to change to another rom. First of all when i change to AOSP the instructions i read, said that i need to be on the chinese leak frst, so i did. then i flash it with the AOSP.

my question is: what do i need to do to migrate to midnote?

´cos i was on the chinese leak, so i don´t know if it matters or if it complicates things.

hope you can help me... thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david.huwyler:
First go Back to GingerBread:

- go to CWM recovery (Hold Power-, VolumeUp- and Homebutton, till CWM rises)

- flash Abyss Kernel v3.9 RedPill

- restore an NANDroid Backup

Now follow the Midnote Instructions
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malejo121:
thanks, btw the what is the NANDroid backup?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lance Uppercut:
Before going to your current Rom, did you make a backup of your Gingerbread rom? If so that's what you restore to.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sujal:
I am on the same ROM and I have no problems whatsoever. I am on v8. Anyways, if you don't like it, you can easily migrate.

Iirc, it if what enables the native screenshot function.

Swyped From My Mikrunny'd Superphone Using Magic (TapaTalk 2 Beta 5)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RegnierD:
It's the app that enables advanced settings with the HTC stylus (like the one for the Flyer). I think as of Sense 3.5, all HTC devices support it.

[HTC One X] raundown:
Hi does any of you suffer lagging issues from live wallpaper? when i slide between my home screens the animation halt and then resume a second later. the best part is there is no beam in my phase beam wallpaper, lol?
[HTC One X] leventccc:
yes same on me
[HTC One X] raundown:
Im suspecting its the Tegra 3 causing the trouble. My tablet with tegra 2 also suffers from lags with live wallpaper
[HTC One X] Elim:
Or the 3D-effect which still also sense 4 have? Since I have this effect on my old desire (with sense 3.5), the live wallpapers stops when I slide the homescreens. And the desire have surely no Tegra :D
[HTC One X] Cxpher:
That's likely because the CPU is doing the rendering. The Tegra 3 GPU is better suited for such tasks.

Android Revolution HD rom for the One X should not have such issues since CPU rendering is entirely disabled and all rendering done via the GPU.

In future, we should be able to do this without flashing a ROM as long as you have root. Anyone know which value to edit to disable CPU rendering?
[HTC One X] Tzeunis:
I think this is caused by Sene... Same on sense 3.0, 3.5 & 3.6... Same wallpaper i am using on my Transformer works smooth.

Using this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS5ka2Vlc3RvLmRpZ2l0YWxoaXZlZnJlZSJd
[HTC One X] magic_moe_:
GPU 2D Rendering cannot be enabled...so can't test it...
[HTC One X] azazin:
This is a feature of sense, nothing to do with the Tegra, it was implemented by HTC, if a AOSP rom is built for the One X then it won't have this "feature"
[HTC One X] Cxpher:
I forced GPU rendering and GPU UI rendering on my One X. Does not solve this problem.

I agree. This is a HTC sense problem. Probably due to the Carousel effect. Finding a way to modify Rosie.apk to remove this effect and see if it works fine after that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] faksnima:
So....I have a question. I think I already know the answer but I wanted input.

I had a previously rooted i717 with the 'no flash counter' method using att_note_root. I then updated via the leak...and tried to root using att_note_roote again (dumb idea). Well my phone got stuck at the Samsung start up...multiple times. I then decided to just reinstall the ICS leak - things are working fine right now. Could I have done any perm. damage? I believe the answer is no - but I'd like some input. Thanks everyone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tonyc0642:
This belongs in Q&A...

If you're referring to the leak posted by Dagr8, it is already pre-rooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] faksnima:
I'm sorry. I placed it in the wrong area. Well I installed a previous, 2.3 rooted android file using odin AFTER installing ICS and it caused my phone to hang on samsung. I now realize this was a no-no. I reflashed to the ICS leak posted on this forum and things are working okay. I'm just inquiring about whether or not that could've done any perm. damage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tonyc0642:
Honestly I doubt it. If it had caused any real damage you probably would have had a hard brick on your hands.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] juzz86:
Reflashing the one-click ODIN package will wipe out any damage that may have been caused (the boot logo hang). If you're back and functional now, there's no damage done :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Only thing that can cause permanent damage is corrupted or missing bootloaders... And you'd know if those were messed up, cause the phone would not do anything. Just a black screen. Dead. A corpse.

Other than that, and physical hardware damage, everything can be formatted/ overwritten/fixed.

i have no idea what to do
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] blackkj:
It would be helpful to understand what you were running on your phone before the problem occurred?

The Bootloader you are seeing - I assume it is the hacked Cotulla one?

If you connect your phone to a PC does the bootloader screen show "USB" rather than serial?

If you have Cotulla bootloader and USB connection to PC, I'd start again with a clean install....not sure what you were using...but Typhoon is nice and Stable

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elesbb:
If you are getting errors while flashing the stock ROM, as in windows mobile, then 99% of the time you have bad NAND memory and the phone needs to be jtaged or the motherboard needs to be replaced. Ive experienced a lot of these similiar threads over on PPCGeeks with the HTC Touch Pro 2

you have HSPL, so you need to task29, MAGLDR, CWM and then a ROM.....it'll be interesting to see if you get anywhere....

Suggest following it step by step and seeing what happens before we write off your phone!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mh48:
im not able to install magldr or a new rom, it either loses connection, or says it isnt compatible
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] blackkj:
Well if you have Cotulla HSPL, and USB shown on that screen, and are connected to your PC and Task29 is not running then I'm afraid I'm out of knowledge....

so i found that i have a ruunbh error, what do i have to do in order to fix this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] blackkj:
with ruunbh I suggest you go back and flash a stock WM rom.

That has worked for some.

If that gets you back running (at winmo 6.5) then you need to start the Android process again....

......By starting with HSPL and moving on through task29, radio, magldr, clockworkmod and a android rom.

going back to winmo is described here:

it keeps giving me an update error, when i try to install a custom wm rom and official rom any other suggestions?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] blackkj:
So of the steps below....where and what is the update error?

--------------------------

If you are using a 512MB ROM HD2, just download the official firmware from HTC's website. The recommendation is to use a 1.xx or 2.xx ROM, do not use a 3.xx ROM.

Download 7-zip, make sure it is 9.20 version and up.

Using 7-zip, open the official ROM update exe file. Do not execute it.

Inside you will see RUU_signed.nbh, extract just that file. Nothing else.

rename RUU_signed.nbh, to LEOIMG.nbh

Copy LEOIMG.nbh into your SD card root directory which is FAT16 or FAT32 formatted.

Unplug the battery from the HD2, count to 10, replace the battery.

Hold the VOLUME DOWN button, DO NOT LET GO.

Press the POWER BUTTON, then let go.

Follow the instructions on the screen when the device goes to RECOVERY mode.

You do the same thing with a tmobile HD2. If everything else fails you can always try ADB, see if I can find a usb connection but indeed you have a weird problem. I would suggest like suggested before to get WM on the phone and work from there.
