No offense here. Just saying. Believe me I know the dilemma. Many times have I finally pulled the trigger to flash something and get it all setup just the way I like it to have a new one come out. Luckily we have nandroid backups and tibu. Makes life alot easier... Most of the time. :)

Edit: Oh and btw, the Collective is supposed to start a new ICS thread tomorrow so I'm hoping for some good stuff tomorrow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kevinjgray88:
Thanks romee

Yeah that's why I asked because it happens to me every time. I get all set up then bang hey new rom:D

I'm not complaining because I do know these guys do amazing things just for the love of doing it and I envy them, wishing I could do half of what they do.

No: Samsung already said it for i9000 at least.

Sure I'd like to have the newest Android onboard my Galaxy S but I doubt we can win with them...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintel_mac:
As this is 9001-specific, here's your answer: Samsung has already released the successor of our beloved device, the Galaxy S Advance. So they think it's not necessary to update an outdated device. Go and buy a new one. That's what Samsung would like you to do.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lactardjosh:
Open up the apk with 7 zip and remove the classes.dex before decompiling and then put it back in after recompiling. See if that helps. Did you change any of the files in the folders that are throwing errors?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lactardjosh:
Decompile with apktool 1.4.2 and recompile with 1.4.3. But the CRT animation is not an easy framework change like GB. It is further ingrained in the system and will require modifying additional files.

i accidentally deleted the "vold.fstab" archive for internal memory in " System /etc" past, using root explorer. I was trying to change the internal memory to external memory after Root the smartphone.

After deleted vold.fstab, the Smarthone doesn't recognizes the SDcard..

in desperate, i uninstalled the Android from the smartphone.

Now, the smartphone starts in the inicial page " Blu" massage and stop in this situation.

Dear Friend or others friends , do you know how i recovery this original android firmeware or or in preference " Blu studio 5.3 firmeware android 2.3.5" to re-install?

which program i use to recovery this phone? i use the same oneclick that i did the root in the beginning?

Please, someone help me if could...

sorry my poor english to explain, i hope you understand my little english words.

I finally entered in Recovery mode, just plugin the USb as a recharge and when the "Battery" is show in the screen We need press "+ volume with Power" for 5 seconds..

i can see the SDcard with Recovery mode but i tryed to open all the pasts and this did nothing.

i pressed REboot and the smartphone reinitialized in the same way , only " blu" in the initial page stoped.

I have in Pc all the Backups, but the smartphone doesnt open what i need, the firmware.

when i plug the mobile via usb in pc , the pc "see" a new dispositive but i dont have access to pasts ou system

When you plug the phone in USB, you say it shows up on the pc, and you have rooted it. Can you use adb on the PC to get a shell on the phone? If so, see if you can use adb to push a copy of /etc/vold.fstab back onto the phone.

try resetting to factory from recovery

Dear Friend,

As your phone goes to Recovery, you may try selecting 3rd option(i guess) to wipe and reset to factory. Of course you may lose user data in phone, but phone would be reverted to position as newly bought.

I myself am in same kind of trouble but worse.

I am new to all these and got into a REAL problem of late.

I have purchased BLU 5.3 510A product from amazon just a about a month ago.

It is stuck now and for some reason NOT showing recovery too. I tried all possible methods and searched help on web too.

I learned that with SP tools I may be able to flash stock stuff into it. But I do not have any backup of it as it was pretty new.

Would you be kind enough to provide me with the original dump or whatever required with adequate instruction for how to go about it?

Please help me if found a dump already as this is the ONLY device I have and I am completely stuck with no other option.

Or if your phone already started working kindly take a minimal dump and give it pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaassssse.

may contact me at bala(dot)kc(at)gamil(dot)com

Many thanks in advance for a QUICK reply.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] case0:
Hi guys,

I'm doing some research related to mobiles and need some help, as Google searches aren't bringing much up other than remote-wiping apps etc.

What I want to know basically - is it possible to securely wipe an Android phone, and if so, how? For example if you took an ex-work phone from a business, how would you go about securely wiping the data so that it couldn't be recovered.

I'm assuming that a factory reset doesn't securely wipe the data, and that it would be recoverable, is this assumption correct?

I came across one app that seems to overwrite all "deleted" data called SHREDroid but that seems to have lots of problems judging by the reviews.

Would really love some help on this if someone with more knowledge on the subject could enlighten me!

Thanks!

Sent from my ice cream powered Nexus S
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] case0:
Sorry I don't want to sound rude but do you have any proof to back this up? From what I've just read, it's not a secure wipe. It's just similar to deleting all your files off a memory card or something, ie. easily recoverable with the right software.

On Blackberry and iOS you can do a secure wipe where the data is deleted and completely overwritten several times so that recovery is not possible. It seems this isn't the case with Android though.

Thanks

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] case0:
Ok then. Well as anyone can root a phone by following some simple instructions from the internet, I suppose the stock factory reset can't really be considered secure.

I'm quite surprised that Android is the only one out of the big three OS' to not have a secure wiping function. :(

Surely there must be a way to do it though. If anyone could help me out on this that would be great.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Duhhh:
With load balancing and remapping, are you REALLY sure that ALL data is gone? I think you need to say "safe" from reading by whom? The next casual user, or someone willing to desolder the memory and go to work on it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] case0:
I don't know what load balancing and remapping is..

Basically I mean to CESG standards.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Duhhh:
Load balancing makes sure you don't "wear out" one area of the flash part from repeated writes. Frequently-rewritten sectors will move around, so old copies of these sectors will be left scattered across the part. Remapping allows for hard errors to be mapped out, replaced by spare sectors, and the mapped-out sectors won't be reused. If you look at those sectors, you might get some old data.

any idea?

What ROM are you on? They might have removed the function. It is not wise to download official updates on your rooted Transformer just flash a different ROM from the development section (make sure you wipe the device first so you don't get issues).

have someone managed to get BLN working on Stunner?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhisahara:
The only problem we have here is we dont have options in kernels that work on ICS. On GB roms we have fanco abyss etc kernels that support the rom and BLN app for notifications. That's why we normally use the abyss 3.9 kernel in recovery in ICS roms whenever we want to flash anything in recovery or revert to GB.

And as per i know there isn't any kernel that suppport ICS and also support BLN notifications.

You want to know about an excellent way to very quickly get your girlfriend mad at you? (And that's putting it mildly, the original term I had in mind would probably have been censored by a mod.)

I've done enough "tech support" over the years for family and friends to know better than to try and remotely talk someone through installing a custom ROM.

My advice is: wait until she's with you and that you actually have some time to spare for dealing with any issues that might pop up. And a spare phone, ready to go. Your couple will be all the better for it.
