Thanks, I am going to give it a try tomorrow! Just one more idea, with FriendCaster Pro you can sync your contacts facebook statuses with your contact list ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
crap, I meant the challenge is over today!

the friendcaster pro status sync is way too slow and you want to text the person too.

contapps have them both built in and they're instant. there is no load period. I'm telling you, if you can't check the status and send him a text message in like 3 secs you'll lose because their widget uhh "deeplinks" does that from their homescreen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] grimmjaw:
Do they check if your phone is rooted?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
It says that rooted phones are not allowed, but I suppose it will depend on each individual employee as to if they actually check or not. You could download a launcher that allows you to hide apps from the app drawer and hide su. Couldn't really see them checking for anything else.

How to change the CSC to a specific country ??
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
So, took apart my xplay today because my screen was having issues and I wanted to see if a cable was loose.

Couldn't tell what was wrong, so I put it back together.

After putting it back together, I noticed a few things.

1. The power button that had always been loose was suddenly tight and in one spot. I thought the phone was just made that way. Turns out mine was improperly assembled right from the time I opened it. Gotta say, that button is far less annoying now. Anyone else have a loose power button?

2. My battery. Before taking it apart, my battery was at 19%. After putting it back together, suddenly my battery said 43%!! Suddenly it's got more? The heck is going on here?

3. My screen hasn't glitched again so far. Even though I didn't actually do anything other than unplugging/screwing and replugging/screwing some parts.

4. Originally, the left trigger felt "mushy" now it clicks like the right one.

On a side note, after seeing how the slider works on the inside, I recommend ONLY opening the slider when you're actually about to play a game, and not just fiddling around with the phone. The way it's designed makes it very obvious to me that the ribbon connecting the screen to everything else is easily destroyed. It wouldn't surprise me if my screen was having problems because of that ribbon.

Edit: NOPE. It's totally screwed.

Edit again: When the screen is glitching, moving the slider makes it start working some of the time. I'm becoming more and more convinced the ribbon cable inside the slider is the problem.

Can't you find a replacement cable?
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
I found one online, but I'm flat broke and literally have 1 dollar to my name the next 2 weeks. And my phone company wants what's left over after rent of the next cheque..

I'm gonna try and see if Rogers is stupid enough to give me a new phone without noticing what I did.

I just need a link or some information on how to install cyanogenmod 9 from EL29, I'm currently running Calkulin's EL29 v3.0, and then I was wondering how do I come back from ICS without bricking?

To go back to GB just flash the EL26 kernel with CWM through Odin. When rebooting hold power + volume up until it boots into recovery and flash from there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
FYI - OP on the CM9 page for the rom the very first post has it notated that for the CM9 install guide which is the link that has been posted above. I commend you on being careful but just so you know this forum has more than enough info in it to ensure you do everything correct and minimize your chances of bricking..

Just a few links which have helped me stay away from issues to date..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I've heard to odin just the el26 kernel + cwm and also the whole el26 rom before flashing ICS, more specifically the AOsP variations so which is it? Or which is safer? It would kind of make sense to Odin the whole rom to restore a gb nandroid. There's just so many conflicting methods its cornfuzzling
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
No not really conflicting if you look at them slowly. Its basically get back to a GB kernel at the end of the day. They say to odin it since you do not want to or have any other way to get a GB kernel on your phone if you are on ICS. Now you could flash from ICS but that is what people are trying to avoid since it could cause a brick.

Basically: When on ICS

1. Odin a GB CWM recovery(now others have used EL29 and Rogue recoveries as well) I personally use a stock CWM recovery from CM7 and Miui

2. From there you can wipe and flash and do nandroids as normal.

Option: Safest bet

1. One Click Odin your choice of any of the GB stock roms by sfhub

I have used both methods so far with no problems. I had CM9 on my phone then used odin to go back to the recovery used with CM7 and then I nandroid back my UnNamed Rom. I did this a few times without issue. I have never heard of any issues with anyone using any of the above two methods I mentioned. If someone has please inform us
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I was more confused about whether to Odin(mobileodin) just the kernel + cwm or the entire rom, all the install instructions say Odin kernel with cwm(usually el26) which is what I'm using for ics, I use rogue gunslinger for GB, but then I've seen ppl say to Odin the entire rom before restoring/upgrading/changing roms so i was like

Wtf which is it do I Odin the kernel or the whole rom when i upgrade :-| I've been trying to figure that out for a cpl days b4 I upgrade my AOKP to build 31, cuz I really don't want a paperweight
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krook250:
I've searched around and I don't know how to just odin a kernel, so I use sfhubs one-click back to el26 then I use autoroot to install el26 +cwm.

I would like to just odin a kernel and flash from there, but i am unsure of the procedure, do you do this:

phone to download mode and connect to odin, use PDA slot and browse to kernel, hit start or GO or whatever it is, then when it starts to reboot, pwr+vlm up to get into recovery, then get my flash on from there?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I use mobile Odin for the kernel alone but I believe in PC Odin you can just select PDA and choose the kernel. Tar and flash it that way then when it starts to reboot either catch the volume up + power on the splash screen or do like I do and snatch the battery real quick and the boot to recovery, everytime I try to hit it while its rebooting Im too slow :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krook250:
I havent used mobile odin, but I hear nothing but good things, so I think I am gonna grab it and try it out. That way I wont need to be at a PC to get my flash on.

With mobile odin, do I keep the kernel on my sdcard, same place I put roms and such? And when using mobile odin, if the file is *.tar.md5, do I remove the .md5 from the file name first? Do I use the flash firmware option?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
I've done this at least 25 times recently; so easy, I'll post instructions here again.

1. get Mobile Odin(time saver to the max)

2. Get EL26 kernel (TAR version)

3. flash EL26 kernel in Mobile Odin (takes 10 seconds)

4. Boot into recovery(you will have the proper one now!)

5. Flash away

if you do this either coming from A GB rom to ICS, or going back to one, Guaranteed success...

Simple as can be; not sure why this keeps getting asked.....

The kernel is 8.1 mb, which exceeds the attachment size, so I can't post it here, but its all over this forum..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Yea u can keep em in a folder on internal SD that's what I do and just open the location it will find all tar files in that location then just select and follow directions, mOdin works really good its quick and no flash counter in crease or yellow triangle. Its alot easier to flash ics than having to go to the PC cuz u can just Odin el26+cwm kernel boot to recovery and get ur flash on without all the hassle of drivers and connecting a USB etc
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krook250:
sweet thanks, gonna grab the app and go grab the kernel as well. can't wait!!!

If I just cut my 30 min. flashing time down to 10 mins, that means I can flash 3x more, frick yeah!! Now I just need the new cna to drop so I can flash that girl.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
My question was for when going back to gb from ics if I needed to Odin the whole rom, I had seen both kernel+cwm only and whole rom and just wanted to make sure if I just flashed the kernel only I'd be OK more for clarification than an actual how to for me since I know how to Odin both, just wanted to make sure I was odining the right things b4 I jumped and landed on a brick :) after I had seen someone say to Odin the whole rom I wanted to be sure I was doing it right since I had seen both ways mentioned. Its a little more confusing than my damn evo where I'm always on the same recovery no matter what, and a bit scary with the bricks flying around like a construction site filled with monkeys on meth
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
LMFAO@ monkeys on Meth!!!

Yeah, flashing with this phone is different from the htc stuff, but once you get the hang of it, its just as easy!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Yea ur post cleared it up for me, just gets confusing when. Theres multiple methods recommended :rolleyes: I was 99% sure I just needed to Odin the kernel only but wanted the clarification before I jumped off that bridge, not too comfortable jumping off a bridge when I'm not sure how deep the water is :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
well, like the asshole who pushed me in the deep end of the pool when I was 12 and didn't know how to swim told me, "figure it out or else", sometimes you gotta just go for it!!

:cool::cool:

Actually, I am nervous too when I try something new the first time, but, once you figure out who really knows what they are talking about, its easy to just pm them and ask them how they do it..

You obviously know your stuff man, so you will be an expert with this phone in no time!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dhyneland:
I did this going from Blazer 4.1 to CM9 with out any issues.

Quick question.. I can flash EL26 kernel again in mobile odin and should be able to restore my Blazer backup without any issues, correct? Blazer was backed up using Rogue EL29 kernel. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Plus there's 5 android devices in my house all with different flashing methods it gets confusing keeping em all straight, got the evo4g, et4g, kindle fire, MoPho, and a gNote the et4g is the first Sammy I've used with Odin, my first android was an intercrap I mean intercept and it used the patched swupdater instead of Odin, so I'm still getting the hang of this method. I can flash the evo, kindle, intercept and photon blindfolded and drunker than a slut on prom night
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
yes sir, that is correct!

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

I don't know how you keep all that **** straight; in my house, we ALL go with one "brand" of product, just to avoid that nightmare!!

I've been sketchy about jumping without looking first since I was 15 and jumped my bike off a bridge into a canal and landed on an old shopping cart and ended up with one of the little metal bars shoved up inside my leg from my ankle to just below my knee and almost bled to death after I pulled it out and rode my bike the half mile home :rolleyes: after that I started verifying what I was about to do b4 I did it lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
funny how "growing up" changes all that kind of ****!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I like the challenge lol, I'm the house hold tech support, the evo et4g and kindle are mine, the gnote and mopho are my dads, and my wife has a crappy Motorola kin two so no flashing for her lol but my dads constantly soft bricking his **** and yelling at me to come fix it immediately then he gets pissed when I go in and fix it in like 2 mins and he's like wtf I didn't even tell u what I did to brick it this time
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Yeah I got a wife and 2 sons to take care of now. I still do sketchy **** I just make sure I know all the variables first so I'm prepared in the event of an emergency :)

I'm a new poster to this site, was lurking back in the day with evo shift, but things are different here with the e4gt and with all the bricks, I had to sign up and ask some q's. At the same time, it's kinda tought because people like to jump down people's throat when they ask a questions. I'm suprised I have the courage to make this post here, since there is really no valuable content in it.

my girl just told me to fix her kindle fire tonight because it freezes on her, rocking cm9 on it. Gotta find another rom for it, but development for the kindle isnt what it is for the e4gt.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Yea me the Wifey and kids stay here for free lol, that's how I got roped into being his tech support *****, computer, phone, tablet if it breaks I'm fixing it lol it doesn't take me long and I thoroughly enjoy making him feel like an ass when I fix it and he can't. I get a kick out of it since he's the one who bought me my first PC 24 years ago for my 5th bday and taught me how to use it and now I get to school him on that same crap ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Use cm9 reloaded on the fire its the most stable I've used so far aside from my personal builds I've done
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
no one will ever hassle you for posting questions in the Q&A thread, my friend...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krook250:
I will check it out tonight, gotta find something good or she will want her stupid kindle ui back. I hope they get HA figured out soon.

wase,

Gotcha on the Q&A, I understand forum etiquette and I don't post in DEV but one time. Still learning who the wannabe forum mods are, I always get a kick out of them folks. All in all, this is a great place.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
The cm7 mods all have hwa working if u wanna go the gb route on the fire I usually switch between cm9 reloaded and cm7 standing on shoulders of giants both the best roms I've found for kindle fire so far
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
I really appreciate it! I read events posts and you're all amazing! Thanks a ton everyone! :D

..and thanks for the sticky link I appreciate it!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krook250:
I might check that out then. Because the kindle ui lame, and I want some android on there, but I will agree that the cm9mod that I am running on there right now freezes and lots of apps don't work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krook250:
tried hellfire cm9 last night, froze on me so I went with hellfire cm7. very stable so far, smooth. hwa seems to work. the lady is happy.

one more question about mobile odin, I assume when i open the app, I select kernel-->select file-->flash firmware?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Yeah that's the just of it just make sure your kernel in in tar format
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krook250:
and by that you mean remove the .md5?

thanks a ton for your help man!

I literally have mobile odin open about to get busy!

EDIT: it when I press flash kernel, it says 'MD5 sigs have been detected, do you want to verify them before flashing?' what the heck does that mean?

I downloaded the tar file from the OP in the NOCTURNAL VENUM thread.

EDIT: I checked my md5 sigs and flashed and I am off and running, thanks!!!!

It will be the same app like ultimate backup which check newly installed app and backup everyday.

I've two 9003, with original rom and custom cm rom.

Both, every xx min. turns on by itself the display.

Is there any setting to try to eliminate this annoying problem? Is also a battery drain...

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mdaamir1989:
Hey ,

Please specify all the details of your phone. Which kernel ? Which custom rom ?

Ideally this problem shouldnt happen if you are on a stock or a custom rom ( other than cyanogen mod or MIUI {some users face this issue on these roms} ). There is a workaround for this in case you are on AOSP or MIUI. There is a App which kills the light at a set interval ( but again it consumes battery . so no point in using it ).

In case you are on stock and facing this issue then i think you should visit your service center .

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mdaamir1989:
Im not sure what might be causing the problem. Just a guesss. Have a look at the darkgen rom thread. See if any other users have faced the issue. The problem may be because of any scripts that you might have installed on top of the rom. Hopefully flashing the firmware again might resolve the problem.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bangalorerohan:
It maybe because of Applications which may want to gain some permissions or anything.

For the sake of trial, Just factory reset your phone once.

And, This will lead to erasing of all apps.

Even if bug prevails after the reset please revert back :)

I just tried this and it works fine. Win7 64bit

I'll post my steps in a minute.

======================================

Install Heimdall - C:\Test\heimdall-suite-1.3.1-win32

Unzip “kernel-sms-kj6-v0.2.0-bml”

Copy "zImage" from \kernel-sms-kj6-v0.2.0-bml\kernel_flasher to C:\Test\heimdall-suite-1.3.1-win32

Put phone in download mode

Install driver “zadig” at “C:\Test\heimdall-suite-1.3.1-win32\Drivers”

Option list all devices – select Samsung and install driver

Open Command prompt “Run as administrator”

cd C:\Test\heimdall-suite-1.3.1-win32

heimdall flash --kernel zImage --recovery zImage

Phone boots with new kernel
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] saketh91:
so you say you have to copy the zimage file in heimdall suite folder itself?

when i load the file into heimdall firmware package or pit file i get either "tar header contained invalid file size" or "invalid pit file" error message

and also i am sure i installed drivers for my phone in heimdall as stated in the post

but still heimdall is not detecting my phone it says "failed to detect compatible download mode device"

please help me if you know anything abt this

thanks for the reply
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bark777:
Attached are two jpgs, first is device with Hiemdall driver (libusb) and the second is with Samsung driver in device manager screen. To change driver just un-install the device in device manager and then let computer scan for hardware changes, this will get you back to Samsung driver. You must use Heimdall to install driver for libusb. Hope this helps... Are you trying to use the Heimdall frontend? I'm not using frontend just command mode, try it...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] saketh91:
actually i used frontend first i found it not detecting my phone and so i used heimdall cmd no luck there too

i tried uninstalling samsung usb drivers from the system and installed it again

today morning i found a samsung composite usb device option list(which i was not getting it before)

so the changes i made is changed the compatibility to windows xp and tried it worked fine but still its not detecting help me please please
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] saketh91:
this is what it looks like after i install heimdall driver

when i go to cmd go to heimdall and flash kernel image it says device not detected
