[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dobknobby:
Hi All.

I'm trying to get my friends phone to work. he got given it as a gift from a family member who upgraded, this was about 3 weeks ago and i havent been able to get it to work. the phone is unlocked, and now rooted with Dark Nights 4.0.4... it did have gingerbread 2.3.5 on... but regardless of the rom this handset has had this problem ever since.

The problem:

When we first put his sim card in, he popped up with signal and a carrier name, then changed to emergency calls only. But the signal bar was still full! So thinking it was software related i gave the phone a factory reset, no fix. So i then rooted the handset and put a custom rom on, the same rom that i use on my i9000. Darkys Rom 4.0.4. Still no fix, this is very wierd, tried lots of sims in this phone now and does excactly the same with each one, and we know these sim cards work because there our own.

We have tried with 3, T-Mobile, Orange, o2 and Vodafone. Excactly the same happens all the time, carrier name pops up for about 2 seconds then goes to emergency calls only. but signal bar still full.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsw5700:
Hmmm, have you tried factory reset? If so, might have to reflash back to stock rom, that should get radio working (unless imei is barred somehow)

If you have a backup of your efs folder, try restoring it (after backing up current efs folder)

clear cache, dalvik cache, reset permissions, reboot

I had a similar issue with my I9000T.

I was able to get sertvice in some areas and Emergency calls only in others.

I flashed back to stock and still had the issue, so i returned it to my carrier for service and it came back all good.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dobknobby:
OK, i was going to flash to stock again just to make sure, and i cant find the rom, were can i download it for Odin? I cant remember were i got my one from?

You can find stock here:

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Toader944:
I am wondering if anyone else is having a problem with no wifi or home buttons when trying out the new ICS roms. The ICS leak works fine but when I flash any of the roms I lose wifi and my home keys. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
I have not experienced any of those problems with any custom rom I have tried. Did you do a clean install with the ICS roms (formatting all partitions and factory resetting before flashing)?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Toader944:
I did a factory reset before I flashed the roms.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
Try formatting partitions (along with a factory reset) then re-flash the rom.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Toader944:
I haven't formatted the partitions before.What is the best method for formatting them. Sorry if this is a dumb question.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] SANSYF:
If the problem persist, check you rom file ;)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
Boot into recovery, select "mounts and storage", then the options will be there.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Toader944:
I have tried three different roms all have had the same issues.

I give the formating a try now and let you know the results.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
its because they are built for different devices. even thors recovery doesn't work right because it wasn't meant for the a100.

wait a few days...there's a proper cwm and cm9 coming..
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Toader944:
Formating solved the problems. Thanks for the help Theonew and everyone else.

Hey everyone!

My upgrade us at the end of May, would you suggest this phone for the upgrade? What are your likes or dislikes of this phone?

Are the beats ear buds worth it?
[HTC Rezound] abby_nitewolf:
Hi, i also upgraded from a fascinate and a continuum. This phone is pretty sweet. I would definitely suggest this phone.

The things i loved most about this is the 8mp camera and the big bright screen because i love watching movies on the go.

The beats headphones are awesome, definitely better than the ones i had for my ipod
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
I upgraded from fascinate, to charge, then this. IMO this is a fantastic phone. I love the camera, and its pretty slim design, similar to the fassy.

Coming from 2 samsungs, with ODIN and all, it was a learning curve to root and flash roms, but if you read everything carefully, you will be ok :)

When in doubt, ask for help
[HTC Rezound] sjla2kology101:
theetit N1

IMO the only downside is the screen isn't as bright, and the Colors arnt as vibrant. BUT is does have a better resolution.
[HTC Rezound] DarthCivicus:
Would it be better to go to the galaxy nexus, I don't think it's as powerful and I'm not sure I want to stay in the Samsung family.
[HTC Rezound] Abbernaky:
Personally whenever I'm looking at a new phone (if your gonna be stuck with it for a while) I consider that software can be fixed/changed/updated (thanks to the devs), the hardware not so much.. That being said.. I REALLY miss my fassy and had to upgrade b4 i wanted.. got lazy with not flashing the gb bootloaders >.<

It doesn't feel like a huge leap forward from the fassy, but they are at two different stages in their life cycle. If upgrade you must.. I'd go with the better chipset.. just my 2cnts
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Decisions..decisions...

I'm sorry but the comparison of the Gnex and Rezound have been beatin to death...that being said the best thing you can do is stop by the local Verzion store and check out the devices to see which one works for YOU. I have them both and there are some things I really like about the Gnex but it really comes down to personal preference. Currently, AOSP is a work in progress and if you happen to be a person not fond of Sense, the answer is obvious unless you'll be okay with Senseless roms for the time being.

That being said, a lot of the aura has worn off of the Gnex becauase many other devices (including the Rezound) are running ICS. We have some great Developers who work their tails off and a great community.

P.S. The Rezound has dropped to $49.99 and the Nexus is still the same price of $299 IIRC which may also factor into your decision.

Good luck on your decision. :)
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Gnex has terrible radios and an even worse camera. Else wise I loved it. I love my rezound and chose this over the gnex in the end. Even with sense it doesn't feel slower than the gnex. So once we do get cm9 it will make the gnex feel like a joke.

And hey by may who knows what will be available.
[HTC Rezound] DarthCivicus:
Thank you all! If the resound it's still fifty, I'll definitely be going with it, plus the hardware seems way better!

Hi Thr ,,

I am the bottom pit when it comes to Android coding as such .....But i am in desperate help and need ur guidence ,,,,

I recently purchased the Galaxy Note and was using the SGS2 before that ,,

A launcher called MIUI.ADW launcher (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...her.miui&hl=en) was my full time daily launcher with SGS2 but since i started using it on the Note , i see that all the icons on home as well as app drawer are coming way small .It's not settings back so i cannot fix this just by changing the settings/preferences..

and i have so decided to do something about this since the developer is not keen in making changes to it ,,,,

I am wanting to fix this myself to use the launcher on its full glory .....ofcourse i cannot and should not distribute the changed code without the developer's permissions...i just wanted to know from you (pointers if any) as to where in the code should i be looking to fix this issue with icon size?

Attached is an image of what i am talking about....I need help understanding how to increase the icon size of all the icons .....

Thanks....

[General Questions and Answers] blake .l:
Have a couple of status bare morphs I like and installed with metamorph but didn't realize they where for CM firmware. I'm on stock rooted .62 firmware on my Arc S... When I installed the morph it didn't mess the phone up or anything it just didn't change everything it was supposed to change only some things. I've got two files I installed that should have changed status bar, email, txt, missed call, and battery icon and so on... If you look at the pic you can see the battery icon, only problem is it goes away and changes back to the original icon. The only time you see the new icon is when the battery drains down to a certain level or after it fully charges or when plugged to the computer but then it changes back to stock again.. I have the two files if anyone could change them to work on my stock rom or maybe show/tell me how i'd sure would appreciate it...

I see people saying that they are doing it, but I can't get it to work and I can't find a tutorial.

I have a Galaxy Note running on ICS, and N64oid v2.6.3. I have used Sixaxis controller to get my dualshock 3 connected and working on the phone. Now when I go into n64oid to try and connect it, I had to download another app for other bluetooth devices and drivers, but the dualshock 3 is not in that list.

What am I missing here?

I was recently using Stunner ICS but decided I wanted to go back to stock and start over. I downloaded the stock N7000XXKJ4_N7000OXXKJ4 firmware and installed it through odin. I did not receive any errors on the phone or on my PC. But now it seems like my phone is stuck in a boot loop. It just keeps showing the samsung boot animation over and over. I used the download jig to get into download mode and tried redoing the firmware twice already with no luck. One thing I did notice is that the jig is no longer resetting the binary counter. Does anyone have any other ideas or is my phone possibly bricked?

After that flash GB rom.

Hanging at Samsung logo; can't boot into recovery; am I bricked???

Hi guys...

I've been semi bricked for about 18 hours now. And it's starting to look like it's a full-brick.

I had the latest Gingerbread ROCKET ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000, with the latest Franco kernel in place.

I thought I'd give the ICS version of ROCKET ROM a go. Flashed Abyss4.2 kernel without any hassles. Used 'advanced' to boot into recovery. Did my various wipes. Flashed the ICS Rocket Rom zip. And got caught up in the recurring boot-up, mostly upgrade, run, reboot cycle that's been described in many places.

Didn't panic.

Booted into recovery again, and flashed the ICS Rocket Rom again.

But this time, it wouldn't go past the SAMSUNG logo.

Still, I could boot into recovery.

Which I did.

And I tried to restore my Gingerbread build from Nandroid.

Tried it. But it hung on the Samsung logo again.

With one key difference... Now, no matter how much I try, I can't boot into recovery.

I *CAN* boot into 'download' mode. So I've used PC Odin to try and inject a rooted Gingerbread rom into the phone.

The instructions tell me to wait for the phone to reboot twice. Sadly, it tries its first reboot, and doesn't get past the Samsung logo. And that's where it hangs. No recovery mode either.

What shall I do??? Oh, woe is me. Etcetera.

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

UPDATE

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

I found a version of Abyss 4.2 kernel in tar format. I flashed it via PC ODIN, and I now seem to have a phone that can boot again.

Not much more to report at the moment, cos the battery is on about 3%, so I'm charging it now before delving further. Will give more feedback once the battery's up and running again.

I tried to restore a backup which was sadly on GB and then the restore of /data failed

I then tried to flash paranoid custom rom and it was successful but the phone never went any further than SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE GT-N7000 logo

I then Flashed a direct rootable stock rom via PC odin and all was well but the phone would never go any further than the logo before mentioned

i have a .21 prime i used the unlock tool but i can seem to figure out how to flash CWM to get a rooted rom. i tried abd from the cmd on my win7 pc, and tried fastboot, even terminal emulator. i must be doing something wrong. can someone help with a step by step how to kinda confused by most of the instructions to use adb or fastboot. and i see comands for both starting with a # but all i see is a $ when i use them?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] antny01:
I think you might be confusing the different methods of flashing CWM (i.e., Rooted or non-rooted). ADB, as I understand it, can only be used for rooted devices. Provided you already unlucked the bootloader, you need to use the fastboot method to flash your recovery.

The problem with a lot of the tutorials out there, is they were written with a rooted device in mind. Since .21 became the norm, and root is off the table (for now), some of the guides don't clearly indicate the steps you have to take.

Take a look at this site. He's got a few videos and step by step tutorials to help you out.

Cd is a dos command in the example. In windows you type cmd to get to command prompt mac I have no idea

After installing CWM, will this allow us to install a custom rooted rom?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
Solutions for stuff like that can be fixed by reading Wikipedia (unix and dos commands), an appropriate book for the operating system, or Googling. Too few non-developers (and shamefully to many developers now're days) sometimes are aware of how more than clicky-clicky works but we all have to learn sometime.

I once spent like 3 weeks with a FreeBSD system after not touching the command prompt since "Insert floppy, type this and press enter to run game" days and got very proficient.

Have many reads of the FAQ: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1226017

it's really useful to help understand what's going on.

My guess is that you may have installed the wrong version and/or not have the right hboot
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUser83:
Yes I read this post and I don't know what to do

Wrong version of hboot? how i can check it is correct for this rom?

My version of hboot is 6.93.1002 Recovery is RA-Desire-2.0

please, help
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
you may have read it, but i don't think you have read it enough times to understand it. sections 1 and 2 are the most useful

many people, including myself, have used that guide to install the rom completely from scratch with no prior knowledge.

when i said wrong version i meant the A2SD or data++ version of the ROM. from your info i believe you are s-off with stock hboot, but have installed the data++ version of the rom. there are sections within the FAQ which deal with this.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUser83:
Ok: I think I know what the problem is - I need another version of this page hboot alpharev.nl And here I have another problem because never changed the hboot. LeeDroid previously used in version 2.5 and then it removed the s-off, and installed the recovery RA-Desire-2.0 and then the number of hboot has changed itself. So, I have a few question:

The installation of a new installation hboot is otherwise recovery? after the surgery I will have further RA-Desire-2.0 or AlphaRev? AlphaRev or during installation can damage the phone? whether this process can be reversed?

Also never installed a radio, or is it necessary?

I know a lot of questions but most importantly for me, it does not damage the phone. And sorry fom my english.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
you're going to have to read the FAQ main sections a few more times ;)

good, so at least you have made progress in understanding what went wrong.

you should have installed either:

- A2SD version on stock hboot

- data++ version on cm7r2 hboot

however you installed data++ version on stock hboot, make sense?

no, when you s-off the hboot changed to 6.93.1002. installing a new rom does not remove s-off.

section 2.3

please read up a bit more on what an hboot is first...

Alpharev hboots are partition tables: you are aiming to change yours from stock to cm7r2

RA-Desire-2.0 is your recovery: this will not be touched

they can damage only if you flash a corrupted hboot file. therefore make sure you verify the md5 sums of the hboot img given on alpharev.nl. (search google for what md5 sums are, and then use a program called md5check)

this process can be reversed, deal with that later if/when you need to.

section 2.8, (and section 1.4 )

nobody wants to damage their phone, which is why guides like this FAQ were written in the first place. all the steps, links and troubleshooting tips are given there. the fact that i'm referencing sections out of it proves that you haven't really read or understood it.

I installed this rom a while ago, and kept reading it many many times before attempting anything, please do the same. once you do that:

- you will install everything successfully

- you'll have enough space for apps :)

- most importantly, hopefully you'll understand what you have actually done, and where all your apps, data and dalvik are stored...

good luck!
