Not to be a ****, but you realize there are at least a dozen threads about this exact issue right? I know we all make mistakes but you really, really need to read before you flash, and read before you post..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1525495

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1591199

Those were just on the first page of general. Of course this also comes up dozens of times in every ROM thread. Learn to read people, this is embarrassing. We all felt bad a week into ICS but now there is so much evidence that it's just embarrassing.

If you had taken the time to do a Google search rather than post you would know your phone is hard bricked and cannot be fixed. You can either file a claim with asurion for a hundred bucks if you have insurance (which is the right thing to do) or you can lie and go to Sprint and hope they swap it for you in store. But since that is at best questionable and at worst fraud, you should pay the moron tax and file a claim. Even doing that is ridiculous since you are affecting all of us every time you file a claim that was preventable. Every root related claim is one tiny step closer to the end of claims for root related issues.

@abhaxus- there is no need to be so rude. You can point someone in the right direction without sounding so harsh.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Actually I dont think he was harsh he was right on point... He notated links that can be used for reference and yes he is 100% correct. There are numerous links and new threads popping up every day about the same exact issue. Within mostly all ICS threads it shows how to flash different roms... He also started his post as not to be a ****...

Ok people seriously we got to do better when dealing with these ICS roms since we can all start a new post to get the community to help us but we can not read posts where the community has given great advice to be safe.

2OP sorry about what happen to you but most get stuck with the blue light of death. It seems like yours may be trying too boot up. Try sfhubs odin packages and see what happens. Hopefully you can get into download mode. Sorry bout what has already been said but what you did has been posted a million times as something not too do... Please try and be more careful in the future so this stuff wont happen to you again...

Good Luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
If it is getting stuck on data.img, you are screwed. The EMMC memory was corrupted by the ICS-based kernel and custom recovery. By the time ODIN gets to it, it is too late, nothing will write to your /data partition because the EMMC memory is damaged. ODIN, Mobile ODIN, CWM, JTAG will all fail.

Your option is basically to return your phone for replacement, either from Sprint or Samsung.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] level27xrock:
Thanks guys for all the input, and I know, I didn't wanna waste more space and time starting a new thread and all, but I did search, and did a lot. But everything I found was with people posting that they were still able to get into recovery, but I am not able to. I will check out the links given above, thanks for the help folks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waninkoko:
Hi.

I'm going to change my Android phone (a LG Optimus 2x) and I have to choose between these 3 candidates: Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Sony Xperia S and HTC One S.

After looking at the specs of all of them, I think this is like:

- CPU: One S > Galaxy Nexus ~= Xperia S

- GPU: One S > Xperia S > Galaxy Nexus

- Storage: Xperia S > Galaxy Nexus ~= One S

- Camera: After looking at some reviews, I don't dare to say anything. One S looked pretty good, Xperia S looked pretty good too (the best video recorder I'd say), and Galaxy Nexus didn't look bad at all (but in dark photos in interiors).

The CPU is important to me (I like my phone to work smoothly), GPU is not so important, storage is not very important (I prefer higher speed than higher capacity), and camera is not important too (I take a few photos, but that doesn't mean I don't care if the phone has a crappy camera).

I hope you can help me choosing :)

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elia222:
personally, i would choose the one s.

I love the new sense 4 ui and i think it's the one which will work more smoothly.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qwertymash:
I agree with elia and I would choose the one s
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shimizux:
Totally agree!!! ONE S! ownage!! :D but,[yeah] xperia S pretty good too heee~~~..:o
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waninkoko:
HTC One S is pretty good. The Qualcomm S4 is very powerful (more than Xperia's S3), the Adreno 225 is pretty good too, and the One S has more recent hardware than Xperia (like the bt module).

I've seen some benchmarks about the One S internal storage (NAND) and it's pretty fast, specially reading, and that's good.

I forgot to say in the first post but Android 4.0 for me is very important (I know the Xperia S will be updated soon), and I'll use this phone a lot to code apps.

At the moment, I would say the ranking is:

1º HTC One S

2º Galaxy Nexus

3º Xperia S

Thanks for your replies!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waninkoko:
Is there any noticeable difference between the GNexus and One S screens? I ask it because of the different (but similar) resolutions (nexus has higher res but higher size too) and I could not see both phones powered on.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ButterflyCommunity:
Well i havent tried One S,but i have to say i tried Galaxy Nexus and its amazing,great specs,great design and its flagship phone so its going to be supported by xda and google for some time.I cant describe how good impression of that phone i have,its amazing
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSniperFan:
If you want to use custom roms and root, I'd recommend you the nexus. It's community is good and you don't have to bother about hboot, s-on, s-off and so on.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4580696:
You should look at Something Quad-Core, such as: HTC One X, Huawei Ascend D Quad, Huawei Ascend D Quad XL, ZTE Era, etc. Which would be better.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waninkoko:
I prefer a powerful dual core than a quad core (except if that quad core has very powerful cores, to work at best performance at any workload). A quad core in a smartphone, from my point of view (as a computer engineer), is not worth, at the moment (more battery usage, not so efficient...).

I'm a coder so I'll use the phone to test my apps. And I like to 'play' with it (custom roms and stuff... I used to code stuff for the Linux kernel).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finisher1214:
One S
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimsiv:
Tottaly agree...If I could buy one now that would be HTC ONE S!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MicShadow:
And also used to code for the Wii ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spike8625:
i'll go with the HTC One S
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pmakaasrul:
i'll go with xperia s because the camera is damn good...

i think about future Custom Rom that can be apply on it since freexperia teams are working greatly to build it.

more over,the battery for xperia s quiet good

im sorry if im mistaken..:D;)

Does anyone know if any of these are compatible with Galaxy Tab 7.7?

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw...sd+adapter+-+robot&LH_BIN=1&_sop=15&_osacat=0

Only reason I'm looking at these over the OEM Samsung adapters is becuase they're 3 in 1 compared to Samsung's 2 separate adapters for USB and SD card.

Thanks

Not sure, but hey, for $4, you can't really go wrong!

I should've known, it didn't list P6800 in there, but I went ahead and gave it a try, and it doesn't work.

If that cable can fit tab p7500/7510,and tab 7.7 then i woder why the one i bought above is listed to work only with p7500/7510 amd doesnteven fit my 7.7?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] JoJo2211:
Okay, I just tried again and the adapter I posted above works. Turns out I just didn't push hard enough. Adapter works flawlessly!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] JemaKnight:
I purchased a $4 USB adapter for my p6810 off of eBay and it works fine. I can't see any reason to pay $30 for the official Samsung adapter.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve16:
Over the last year I along with others have had great run (and some scares) changing roms, now however I am getting messages telling me my sd card is full and i need to delete items. Having deleted various things I am still getting this message and my gallery will not load !

Question is .....is it worth trying to clean up sd card by copying it, reformat and then reinstall items, or is there a better route to go down.

Just as a point of interest the current rom I am running is Turkbey ICS V4 XWLP4.

Thanks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chairmansaab:
Can you tell me did you Full-Wiped data before Flashing the rom?

;) Hmm try to clear dalvik cache & Wipe-Cache through recovery. It might help. Always full wipe before moving to a new rom.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve16:
Clean..

Hi, yes did full wipes before installed. tried further wipes but still getting message telling me sd card full. Looked in settings and the USB Storage is showing full but dont really want to delete as I will loose photos etc. Can some of this be transfered to my external card as theres a fair bit of space there ?

Thanks

sr
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Why not put photos pictures videos songs etc on external sd card .

Nothing is lost if you back it up .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilrogg:
I did it this way:

1. backup the whole intermal sd-card onto my computer (via USB cable)

2. delete (still via cable from pc, because more comfortable) any folder created by an app that's no longer installed)

2a. DO NOT delete the following folders:

.android_secure

DCIM (if you want to keep photos/videos)

EFS_BACKUP (if you have it)

external_sd

media

clockworkmod (if you have CWM installed)

3. reboot device and test, if some program is missing important data, plug in usb again and restore from computer
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Greg:
Lol, if you want to clean you phone, reboot in recovery and format system and data, then boot in download mode and flash stock rom or Litening. Good luck
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilrogg:
I think you're missing the point. Of course factory reset and formatting the whole sd-card is an option but often you don't want to lose ALL your data, just some of it that's not used anyway.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] myawan:

* Temporary fix, use the vignette camera application *

I love the SGS2 but it sucks extremely that you are pretty much forced to take pictures in landscape mode as any pictures taken in portrait mode are send upside down in landscape... This appears to be a Samsung issue with most devices.

Does this bug anyone else but me? Me having a major OCD for this.. makes me miss my old EVO 4G :p

Any fix to this other than having to try and edit the pictures or taking pictures in landscape.

Here is a link to further describe the issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...ure-always-returns-1-for-exifinterface-tag-or

EDIT: For anyone who wants to attempt and fix this.. Found this old thread form 2010. They used a custom patch/fix to save the correct orientation.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dutchman71:
Nothing really just regular setup. I remember some sensor aided setting under location but I'm not sure that affects this issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qwerty12601:
You can't do that when it only rotates the pictures when you try to send them via MMS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
I wish it was that simple but that makes me look more foolish attempting to rotate it then sending it. Only to end up finding out the picture is once again being send wrong lol...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
Yeah I noticed this on my samsung captivate and thought oh well It is maybe a software issue. I flashed CM7 and CM9 to my epic touch just now to test out if it was the way software is coded but no... Same results. Must be the way hardware is setup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vikramjatt11:
have the same issue. my girlfriend and i both have the epic touch, and the mms pics are never sent in a straight orientation. therefore, we just use dropbox.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
Is this actually unique to our phone? I'd be surprised if so. See, most phones and cameras handle rotation not by actually taking the photo in portrait, but via EXIF metadata that notes the orientation in which the photo's supposed to be displayed. I'm guessing the MMS software is merely ignoring this EXIF data. The photos display fine in everything else that supports it, but the MMS app doesn't. If that's the case, I would assume this is more common than on merely our phone.

That said, I rarely if ever use MMS anyway. If I can email the photo at a much higher quality, I normally prefer to do so.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
If anyone is a dev that happens to read this... In an older samsung model they fixed this annoying bug with a custom package. I'll attach them to the OP in case anyone wants to try and compared the fixes to try making us one. :D

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ghostboa:
Neither have I that I know of. I just tried it to make sure I was not just over looking the issue.

Either orientation saves the way I took the pic, and sends that way as well using GOSMS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sweets55:
I think when I send a portrait picture with the stock messaging app its fine but when you use handcent it turns it sideways.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
That's odd, trying emailing yourself the picture. I encounter this issue while using a skype sharing conference with ex co workers. I also have it when trying to send pictures via MMS. I even encounter it when sharing pictures on simple chatting applications. I'm convinced it's a samsung issue that they choose to over look lol =(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
Using Vignette camera application... I'm able to successfully share pictures I take in portrait position with it! I thought I'd let others know. =)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Thats exactly what happens to me. It seems Samsung has a weird way of determining orientation and their messaging app is built to send them correctly. However sending thru third party apps, uploading to fb, or even xda app you get them sideways. This is very annoying and stupid and is a Samsung problem on all their phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
Why wouldn't you take a pic in landscape? It has only been since the iPhone era that people have really started taking photos and videos vertically, and personally, I can't stand it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sweets55:
I usually always take pictures in landscape now just because I don't want my friends to have to keep turning their phone to view it. If I take a picture of someones face then I might take a portrait picture. I emailed Handcent about the issue a few times but they never replied back.
