If you must have an app... Flappjaxxx, a fellow collective member, has an app called power tool on the market with power options, such as reboot recovery, reboot download, ect...

Quickboot also does the same thing, but power tool is prettier, and it was written by a note owner/developer :D

Hi there,

On every MIUI ROM I'm having the same issue with the e-mail app (not gmail!)

When I installatie my hotmail as an exchange account, my e-mails are shown in plain txt, all the images and stuff are in weird txt and can't open links.

When I set it as POP account, I don't have the problem. But I want my e-mail exchanged, so the mails are also deleted at the server.

Normaliter I uae the hotmail app instead, but I was wondering if there might be a solutions?

Hi,

I'm trying to update my stock Galaxy Nexus GSM 4.0.4 IMM76D with stock ROM, stock kernel, ClockWorkMod Recovery and Root.

I've downloaded the update from IMM76D to IMM76I and I'm trying to flash it with ClockWorkMod Recovery.

When I try to flash it I got this error:

assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/CertInstaller.apk", "3715e986e1be77d32c297dd7cfee3583bc50d33f", "a13a24e4d099b94e372fd4d7cb8fbd07f033315e")

E:Error in /sdcard/Update.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

I now that I've deleted CertInstaller.apk and about 15 other apk from system because I don't use a lot of system apps.

Is there a way to modify the update (change some files inside the .zip) so it skip the check of .apk that I've deleted?

Thanks you!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes, there are two ways:

1) extract the apks that you deleted from the stock image file (instructions in the update link in my signature), OR

2) open the updater-script file that is in the update and delete the asset_check lines that correspond to the apks you deleted.

In the future just use the native "Disable" function in the apps list instead of deleting system apps.

If you are missing stock yakju or mysid files, download the factory images from here, extract the system.img from within, convert it to an .ext4.img by using this and then (for Windows users) use this to mount the .ext4.img and extract the file. These files may work in non-yakju builds as well.

Extract the zip containing the sgs2toex4.jar to somewhere on your PC. Then double-click on it, and drag the system.img file onto the open window. It will automatically convert it for you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vdbergh:
Hello everyone...

I have a Galaxy SII HD LTE (SHV-E120L).

History:

The phone worked fine for 1 day, except a minor issue with sending sms. I am a total noob, however I decided to flash the TL 1.3 firmware to solve that issue. Someting went wrong in that process so, stupid as I usualy am, I started to play with the checkboxes of Odin. Result: a hard bricked 1/2 month salary worth phone :eek:

I found a JTAG shop who manage to "repair" the phone. all works fine except I cant connect to a mobile network. I did a firmware upgrade via Kies and received an error with the baseband upgrade.

The emergency recovery also ends in an error after 97% upload.

All the different firmware I try to flash via Odin gets an error when flashing the amss.bin (Complete(Write) operation failed. (see picture).

Here's the Odin error:

<ID:0/013> Odin v.3 engine (ID:13)..

<ID:0/013> File analysis..

<ID:0/013> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/013> Initialzation..

<ID:0/013> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/013> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/013> boot.img

<ID:0/013> NAND Write Start!!

<ID:0/013> recovery.img

<ID:0/013> system.img.ext4

<ID:0/013> amss.bin

<ID:0/013>

<ID:0/013> Complete(Write) operation failed.

So the problem I have is:

- I can' connect to a mobile network.

- I can't flash other firmware

Am I right to say that I have a corrupt Modem - Radio - Baseband in the phone?

I know a little bit of Linux so I checked the filesystem with ADB Shell.

Can I delete certain files or change permissions or upload files from another phone to repair it?

What would you do in my place? I realy need someone to point me in the right direction. Thanks

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

The versions installed are:

Baseband: E120L.EL21.O843.LT

Kernel: 2.6.35.11-E120L.FB05.0938.CL939741

Build: GINGERBREEAD.FB05

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yakie47:
gs2 hd lte

did you try to flash other TL firmwares like the ics version or the GDphone one..? & make sure to find the right version for your phone E120L, not E120K or E120S; remembre that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vdbergh:
Thanks for the reaction, yakie47...

I tried several firmwares beside TL (LGU+ HOME_E120L.FB05.0938_CL939741_REV00_user_low_ship, HOME_E120L.EL07.0011_CL718581_REV00_user_low_ship). Everytime Odin reaches amss.bin to flash, I get the - "Complete(Write) operation failed" - error.

I will now try the GDphone firmware and hope things will be better. I'll let you know later.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxulan:
vdbergh, it seems that the problem for you is not firmware-related, but lies somewhere in the flashing process.

There're some point you may want to get before you flash the firmware, f.e.:

Do you use USB cable from the phone package?

Do you use USB port on motherboard rather than some external one?

Do you have any antivirus/firewall/any other security software disabled before flashing?

Additionally, you can try another USB port to connect the phone with.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vdbergh:
Thank you for the sugestions Rxulan....

you are right that my problem is not firmware-related.

It is obvious now that it's related to the modem or baseband software, because I can flash everything except the amss.bin. What is amss.bin actually?

The phone is rooted, so is there anything I could check in the efs-directory or somewhere else?

Sould I send it back to Samsung for repair?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxulan:
amss.bin is a part of modem software along with mdm.bin.

You can try ones from some stock firmware, just leave only those 2 files in the tar archive and flash the tar via PDA field.

You can download the latest firmware using Check Fus Downloader.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vdbergh:
I downloaded the latest stock firmware with Check Fus and left nlamss.bin and mdm.bin files in the tar. Flashing this with Odin gives the same error:

<ID:0/014> File analysis..

<ID:0/014> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/014> Initialzation..

<ID:0/014> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/014> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/014> amss.bin

<ID:0/014> NAND Write Start!!

<ID:0/014>

<ID:0/014> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

Help! 2 months later and still nowhere.

I can flash the boot.img, recovery.img, system.img.ext4, but not the amss.bin.

Conclusion: It's impossible to flash the modem software (amss.bin) into this phone.

Why?

What to do now?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxulan:
That's weird really.

It's definitely possible since I flashed FD03 modem onto FB05 official ROM myself.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vdbergh:
Hi rxulan...

I've been digging a bit deeper... and have a little theory about my problem. I'm not sure but would like to have your opinion...

The modem software in my phone is corrupt.

All the firmwares I checked seem to have the same mdm.bin and amss.bin files.

Now I think that the mdm.bin file in all these firmwares are corrupt!

Why? When I try to extract the files from mdm.bin, all are ok except the amss.mbn file. Extracting that file gives me a "file is broken" error. And this happens with every firmware i tried.

Maybe you could see if you can extract the amss.mbn file from mdm.bin from your firmware?

So I think that if you're phone doesn't have a modem problem like mine, it doesn't extract the mdm.bin file from mdm.bin when flashing new firmware.

Does all this makes sence to you?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxulan:
vdbergh

Well, that makes sense actually.

Try to download tar with FD03 modem software from here.

It's in russian, but it's ok, just resolve the captcha and click the green button.

EDIT: this tar can be flashed as is, no need to extract anything.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vdbergh:
Thanks for your help rxulan... I really appreciate this.

I downloaded the file, but flashing gives the same error as before.

When I look inside the mdm.bin file, the AMSS.MBN file is the same as in other firmware, and has the same problem of not beening able to be extracted.

(see pic)

Try for yourself and you will see that you can extract every file from amss.bin and mdm.bin except the AMSS.MBN file in mdm.bin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxulan:
That amss.bin is not needed really. It's probably just some 7zip issue with the bin package. What you need is amss.bin from the ROM directly, no need to extract anything from bin files.

So, you you did try to flash the tar given itself, without any modification, and it failed? That's really weird it can't flash amss.bin only.

No clue what can be the cause for now then. Are you sure it's not some antivirus software/etc?

Probably, it makes sense to try flashing from another computer?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vdbergh:
I know that I don't need to extract the .bin files, but flashing any firmware always results in error in amss.bin. I tried everything: reinstall drivers, other usb cables, other usb ports, other computer, all without result.

I am a total newbe in this but as far as I could learn, amss.bin has to do with the modem. And this is exactly the problem with my phone... I can't connect to a wireless network after JTAG hard brick recovery.

When I googled futher then I found that the AMSS.MBN file has to do with the Qualcomm baseband chip.

Now, it could be a coincidence, but I find it very strange that it's exactly this file (AMSS.MBN) that is impossible to extract. All other files in the .bin file are ok.

So I know that it's strange but I think that the amss.mbn file of all the firmwares are equal and corrupt.

The only thing I see that I can still try is to take the amss.mbn (/system/etc/firmware/amss.mbn) file from another E120L and copy it into mine.

Would you be so kind to send me this file from your phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxulan:
No problem, here it is.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vdbergh:
Thank you so much rxulan....

This file came form your phone and not from a firmware file?

It was the last thing I could come up with, but it doesn't solve my problem. I don't know anymore what to do.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxulan:
Yes, this file is right from the phone.

Probably, try to update firmware with Kies? Will emergency firmware recovery work?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vdbergh:
I tried Kies before, but that doesn't work. In firmware information I have "Your device does not support software upgrade via Kies"
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxulan:
Try the following. If your phone is rooted, you must have Root explorer installed.

Run Root explorer, then go to /system folder. Choose R/W permissions for the folder (see the appropriate Root explorer button in header). Long tap on build.pro file, then scroll menu down and choose to open the file in the text editor.

then change the FB05 part of ro.build.PDA value to EL22. Then tap on the phone menu button and choose save and exit. Reboot the phone and connect to Kies.

You should have firmware upgrade option available now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vdbergh:
Thanks again!

I did as you explained and it worked. Kies started the upgrade but ended with an error (pic1). The emergency upgrade also ended with an error (pic2).

I have the feeling that the error is generated the moment the modem is flashed.

What could be the reason that this phone doesn't accept any updates? Could some files have the wrong permission (ro)?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxulan:
Personally, I don't think file permissions have something to do with firmware upgrade.

Probably it's worth to try to do Kies emergency upgrade from another PC, as advised?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vdbergh:
I don't have any other idea's to try, so I'll try emergency upgrading with another pc, next week.

Thanks for the tip.

Hey guys,

I normally lurk the forums as I'm always able to come to some sort of solution, but this time I'm truly lost! I've tried everything to find a PDF viewer for WM7 that has a search function. I need an app that can search for keywords in a PDF by tomorrow and I have tried everything from:

1. DotNetNuzzi PDF Viewer-- incredible lag, completley inoperable.

2. Convert PDF to .doc ( using Adobe Acrobat X Pro, NitroPDF 7) to search keywords in WM7 Office-- PDF formatting goes to complete ruin, no use.

3. Convert PDF to ePUB (using various online converters/standalones) to read via eBook readers from marketplace (Freda, Bookvisior)--PDF formatting goes to complete ruin, no use.

I don't know what to do, and I need to be able to search large PDF files by tomorrow. Please helppp me!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Hmm... normally I wouldn't recommend this, but maybe something like Google Docs (plus, if needed the Find On Page commandlet for IE on Windows Phone)? Another, even hackier option, would be to use RemoteDesktop (an app, does exactly what it says) and open the PDF on a PC instead. Yeah, it would lag, but a "large" PDF is likely to realllly strain the phone anyhow.

Searching PDFs is surprisingly difficult; I believe the default viewer on Android can't do it either. What do you need this particular capability for? There might be a better way. For example, I think the Adobe app lets you jump by page, so you could search text in another tool (that messes up the formatting, so long as it leaves the page breaks) and then jump to the relevant page. Alternatively, does the PDF have headers? You could navigate by table of contents, if the headers are sufficiently fine-grained...
