Maybe you could try the AIO toolbox stickied in the Dev section. Bay_Wolf just restored the link in the OP. Far and away the best tool you can use. Has all the drivers and pit/tar files you need. Give it a try. Has Odin 1.81 too.

litle bit same problem with me, my phone stuck on cyanogen 9 logo, but no bootmenu is showing.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rgadge:
You post is too large(in terms of fonts) to read...it hurt my eyes!!

anyways, about the issue, I guess your phone's battery in not charged. Please make sure to charge the battery using the charger and once it done then boot your phone and when you see blue LED blinking press both volume keys together... this will make your phone to boot into boot menu....now do a data/cache wipe and reboot....

However, if this does not helps then you will be required to flash with the SBF. refer to Defy Developement section - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=966537.

Hope this helps!! :)

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wahoby:
thank u all for the quick response..and i am sorry for the fonts :P

as for the problem,,the battery was fully charged and after the problem i left the phone on the charger for over 8 hrs...and for my friend who suggested to use the boot menu during the blue light..the problem is there is NO blue light or any light,,just as soon as i start the device it shows the Google logo and thats it..no light flashing..no options to do anything. if i can go to boot menu or the recovery menu then i can solve the problem..but i am unable to do anything..so i tried using RSDlite to install an SBF file..but the program isn't able to locate my device..

so right now my device isn't able to go into any boot menu ..nor the RSDlite is able to fix it !!!!

Same issue, can't use RSD if you can't first get to the bootloader. Read a thread about using a stripped USB cable to hotwire the battery to get power to flash with RSD, but can't figure out how to link in mobile app.

theoretical max for edge is around 470 kbps (bits not bytes). and you will get this speed if you have no interference and you are the only one in the entire cell using it.

so, whatever you do, you cannot improve the 2g speeds (to which you are hoping). maybe you can install a more optimized kernel which might get you a more better processing time.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R-Boy:
Hey guys,

I have a little Problem: UNDER the display of my Galaxy S+ appeared some white stains.

Now I want send it to Samsung that they repair the harm because how could something like this happen?

The problem could be that I had Root on the smartphone. I installed a new firmware on it (value pack) and reseted the system; Root does not exist on my phone anymore (the app was removed).

If I send it to Samsung, could Samsung proves that the smartphone was rooted? Is there a protocol inside the system?

And if yes, how can I delete it?

I added a photo to this post where you can see the harm (they are black in the middle of the phone - in reality they are white)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
No. Since you installed an official firmware, they cannot tell if you rooted your device before.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
This may not be true as some Samsung devices come with a flash counter that is not reset even on a stock rom flash. I would search in your devices forum to be sure.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Notice, I said they couldn't tell if you were rooted, not if you ever flashed anything :p.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysDroid:
I dont know if samsung would mind a flash count... Since the bootloader is unlocked on many samsung phones, a simple key combo will result in "download mode" where you can flash any ROM.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
The flash counter counts "unofficial flashes". So yes, they would mind. If they even find just 1 count, they will classify your warranty as voided.

Ah, that would make sense :)

[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
I think you dont know what you're talking about. You mean battery temp?

Obviously they didn't break your phone, what the hell are they gonna do to make your battery heat up, stab it with scissors? Short out cells?
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
Hey Mungulz,

I have trouble understanding you... sometimes you are very helpful, other times it seems you just want to bully people.

Maybe some anger management classes? ;)

It doesn't seem that obvious to me that they didn't "break" the phone... damaged tracks (increased resistance) can lead to more heat due to a little something called Joule effect, I believe.

Also, afaik, our phone uses its case as a cooler. I don't know if it is supposed to have some thermal paste somewhere for thermal connectivity to the frame, but, if it is, openning it up for repair and forgetting to check/reapply paste can also lead to overheating.

So... for me it's not that obvious. Can you elaborate on why you think it's obvious?
[LG Optimus 2x] xtrustkillx:
I know what im talking about but that shows only battery temperature. just for reference. If its overheating its logical that battery temperature will be also higher because of heat cannot be diverted to the cooler parts of the phone.

I have disassebled the phone and the pcbs were badly alligned not to mention loosy heatsinks.

Sorry for my bad english.
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
Is it obvious for you now Mungulz that the repair shop might very well break a phone?

xtrustkillx, your english is great I don't understand what you are apologizing for! :D
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
@Lars: Or there are 2 persons using Mungulz' account. :D

@trustkill: be careful with those stability apps mate. I guess you already know that they increase the wear and tear on your CPU and GPU by subjecting it to threshold load right?

About the temperature, it's a difficult one to compare. I have my battery temperature at 1 to 2 degrees above room temperature when idle. (Therefore 33C from a 31C room.) But it goes as high as 42C if I charge it and not point a fan or AC to the phone. Thing is, I notice that my phone rarely goes above 41. I believe that our boards have an initial level of fail-safe where it lowers down the clock speed when the phone reaches 40C.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
I just struggle to see how a poorly installed heatsink (assuming LG messed it up) can attribute to higher battery temperatures. in my mind this would increase CPU temperatures dramatically to the point of thermal shutdown, while the heatsink is not absobing as much heat as it should.

In theory the battery would be cooler if the heatsink wasn't functioning, as the CPU would shut down. I think this is just a case of far too much load on the phone. Really though if you put 7 watts into a phone this size it's going to get hot regardless of how good the heatsink is.

Furthermore, benchmarking while AC charging is always going to produce high battery temperatures, no matter if your phone was built on a Friday or Wednesday.

To me this thread just seemed like an opportunity to rant about LG or the repair centre, with no real goal.
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
@salisbury: I've seen in vadonka's thread (if I'm not mistaken) that you're right. It's actually something controlled by the kernel. There are three "charging modes". If the phone is cool, 1A (providing you're not in USB mode), after a certain temperature it switches to USB mode (that's 0.5A, either you're charging from an USB port or nor) and after a certain critical temperature it shuts off charging completely. These temperatures can be tweaked at kernel level.

@Mungulz: It seems you switched into your polite mode now. Much more pleasant and informative, thanks. I do not know how the phone is built, but, depending on how far the CPU is from the battery, are you saying it is impossible that having very high CPU temperatures will affect the battery's temp? I mean... in my head this is how I'm thinking... the phone uses its case as a heat sink (and there could be some very small heat sinks inside it), if these are not properly assembled, anything that is in contact with the CPU/GPU/whatever heat source will get hotter with it.

I can agree with you, if you really insist, that it is improbable that a battery in a poorly assembled phone will have temperature problems... but I don't think it's obvious! Even if it was there's no need to talk down on someone that suggested it as a possibility.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
Well the heatsinks job is to divert temperatures away from the CPU.

If the heatsink wasn't installed properly, then the CPU would get extremely hot while the heatsink isn't getting as hot as it should be. Which would make the battery cooler than it normally would be. Just the phone would shut down within minutes :p

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] FatFrank:
Sorry if this is a question that gets answered frequently and in my hours of digging through threads I've probably seen the answer but am not noticing it or understanding.

Basically my experience with rooting is not much. I bricked a droid x once and have been gun shy since.

My question is, if I got a brand new Nook, with the latest software loaded, 1.4.3, I believe, is there a way to access most of the android market? I think I read that this is possible by rooting but all of those threads were months old and i thought I read that B&N closed those loopholes by now.

The only thing keeping me from a nook is the fact that they dont have the free versions of apps that the kindle fire offers

Thanks and sorrys in advance for the newb question, I just need some clarification
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
The new Nook Tablet can still be rooted, roms installed, and gain market access. Most of the market probably not. I have not heard of anything getting access to most of the market. The software and hardware impose limits in addition misinformation provided to the market about access. Seems that spoofing another unit can gain you access to a lot of games. Don't play games and did not find any big change when spoofing the recommended phones.

Good Luck!

Hi all,

I am going through all the threads that have ics based roms for our phone and thought it might be a good idea if we had a communal collation of all ics roms that are active in this forum with provided chainlogs and small reviews of said rom and what issues they have.

Reason for this is simple, to help other users that are not confident in flashing up to 4.0.3 unaware that they may run into something that they did not bargain for.. Hopefully this way we

A) Get a general run down each week as to what rom is working well which are not.

B) Issues/bugs.

C) Reviews of what works and not.

D) Temp fixable issues ie: auto rotation.

E) May help in less clutter in actual development thread.

I thought I would put this out see if anyone agrees here. I am more than welcome that if we use this thread as a starting point.

In no way shape or form that this thread will be used as a means of competitiveness between devs, to start flaming in any sort of fashion, this is purely a thread designed to help everyone with ics progression where its at, what dev's are up too and which would be safe to flash and what is not and is for experimental use.

Hopefully this could be a useful thread, with the dev's permission in doing this of course :)

Cheers.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DannyB513:
There are already Q&A threads for each of the ROM's. Why make the board more cluttered than it already is by re-posting what is already in those threads?

People need to learn to use the search function and stop being lazy and actually take the time to read a thread every now and then. A thread like this will do nothing but enable the lazy to be even less productive and will not help. You will just see the same questions asked here over and over and over and over and over just like in all the other threads.

Also if people would read a damn OP like they are supposed to before flashing a ROM they would already know what does and doesn't work and if the ROM is a RC or experimental.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Raul69.atl:
+1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Agera:
Valued response, and yes using the search tool does help, but. rather than searching for what is needed why don't we have one thread to sum up on all progression? This thread is not designed to have countless questions all this is to gather weekly updates on ics roms from there respected developer. If someone wanted to ask questions they should be directed to the respected Q&A thread as they have there own. If someone wishes to choose to read up on what is happening in the world of ics t989 development then they come here nothing more nothing less.

As this wouldn't be hard to do at every week commencing someone can be anyone can choose to post up any sort of update to any rom and that is valid for that week only... then make up another thread so for example this one wouldn't spiral out of control and inform a mod to delete or close thread... simple that way it would stay fresh relevant with what we want to know, and of course anyone can participate in this.

Again thanks for your input, I'm not saying this is what we should be doing but a suggestion to everyone and see if this would make life a little easier on some. Alternatively if you don't like it then don't post anything worth mentioning and leave for people who could benefit from it :)
