[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrinterElf:
Could be a doozie this one...

I've asked the question on the CM forums too, so I'll see what happens!

I think you, like me, can get it to boot to download, I can get Heimdall to connect, but have no idea what I should be flashing to get back to recovery again!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adsdf:
From http://ics.samsung-updates.com/trouble, should also work for CM9:

"Put phone in Download mode and use FixRecovery.tar.md5 in Odin as PDA, uncheck auto-reboot option.

After flash reboot to recovery with 3-button-combo and CWM flash proper ICS kernel and reboot"

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 930793:
Heimdall eh?

I rooted my phone using SuperOneClick and have been flashing new ROMs using ROM Manager so this is the first time I've heard of Heimdall. I'm downloading it now. :)

I'll let you know if I find those files, I can't find a useful thread anywhere :(

Edit: Didn't see adsdf's post when posting this. Thanks for pointing us in the right direction :)

---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

Followed adsdf's instructions and Odin seemed to think it had done the job. Tried booting into recovery but it's still 'eating a big bowl of boot-loops' :P I'm not sure if Windows is talking to the phone though so I'm downloading the drivers now (give me a virtual slap if I should have done this already).

She's in recovery! Thank you so much adsdf! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 930793:
Nearly there...

Okay, she'll boot into recovery but I don't have a ROM or any backups on her. I can't seem to be able to browse the phone in Windows Explorer even if I hit mount USB storage in recovery. I've managed to transfer 'fixrecovery.tar.md5' from Odin so I should be able to flash a ROM in the same way... right? Everywhere I search all I can find is ROMs in zips :( I've seen threads where people have flashed ROMs in .md5 format using Odin, where are they getting these ROMs? It seems like the solution for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
@intratech is tar and flashed in PDA(Odin) and i think darkys rom is also a .tar, to one of them
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adsdf:
I think in your case it would be best to go back to a stock rom first so you have a clean base to start from.

- Download any rom from

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9000&r=1#regiona

for example I9000XXJVU. these are all odin flashable

- In Odin: "CODE..." or "PDA..." as PDA, "PHONE..." or "MODEM..." as PHONE and "...CSC..." as CSC with PIT 512 with repartition checked

(Im sure you have done this before, right? if not, theres a lot of instructions on that out there)

- after that phone should boot

- flash a proper kernel and rom if you want
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrinterElf:
Right, back and firing on most cylinders, and this is how I did it!

Download and flash this with Odin

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/xxjvu/

Reboot into download mode again, flash this with Odin

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/root-xxjvu-firmware/

Reboot into CWM recovery

Install CM9 nightly & GApps

Reboot

Spend all morning restoring apps from Titanium Backup!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 930793:
Thank you :)

Just followed PrinterElf's method and have just rooted my phone again using Odin. I'm about to flash the latest CM9 nightly, I wish I could take the screen unlock with me, it works well on that stock ROM.

Thanks again :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chavez13:
You're left with only one option: Odin. Download any stock rom with a stock bootloader to repair your recovery mode,flash it using Odin, then flash a semaphore or midnight control kernel.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] night_code:
kinda same problem

previously was on teamhacksung b17 with gapps 20120304. no MODIFICATIONS!!!

today i updated with the latest nightly (update-cm-9-20120427-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd-signed) with same gapps as above.

after reboot it did some updating gapps and loaded into home screen.

i turned the phone off becoz i wanted to insert the extSD and simcard which i removed before the update process.

second time i booted the phone, it started giving me bootloops. cant go into recovery either. only download mode available.

so i opened odin and put all the files in their places connected the phone in download mode on. windows did not recognize the device..... installed samsung usb drivers v1.4.2.2 ... tried it again. problem has not yet been resolved, any suggestions veteran people.
[HTC One S] |mpulse:
I just found out the One S uses a micr-sim. I bought one off contract for my wife and am wondering if I can just use this hack to resize her current sim or if I'm going to have to go through T-Mo?

Anyone hacked theirs up with success?

Thanks!
[HTC One S] Stiflerlv:
If you cut it currectly, then you can cut the existing sim... In case it goes wrong - you can always go to carrier and get a new sim
[HTC One S] raikesy:
Yea, cut it up, took to mine with a scissors and all working fine.
[HTC One S] y2k1ltd:
Go back to the store and get the gba micro sim, the go to microsimshop.com and order their adapter so you can go back to a device that uses the full size sim without purchasing any issues.
[HTC One S] raikesy:
The One S comes with an adapter in the box :)
[HTC One S] Stiflerlv:
not for me...
[HTC One S] fortyoneacres:
If you're using the T-Mobile branded One S then you'd want to update your SIM card or else the wi-fi calling has a strong probability not to work.

And then as the other guy said get an adapter to be able to make it a full size SIM card.
[HTC One S] y2k1ltd:
Not for the T-Mobile branded One S.

Sent from my GT-I9250
[HTC One S] joshnichols189:
You can just go to the store and ask them to cut your sim.. it's free..
[HTC One S] tattedjew:
I went to the T-Mobile store and the switched my sim card free of charge
[HTC One S] raikesy:
You mean not for the US T-Mobile One S, I had mine from T-Mobile UK and it has the adapter.
[HTC One S] MadJoe:
Could you send me yours? I'm gonna need it come next week when I upgrade. Thanks.

Swyped, not typed, from my Digital Brick
[HTC One S] y2k1ltd:
Sorry, yes for the US version.

Sent from my I9250
[HTC One S] y2k1ltd:
Or you could get your own?:D

Sent from my I9250
[HTC One S] papi5120:
The US version comes with the micro sim card atleast mine did and t mobile activated it for me free of charge and amazon has the adapters for like $0.50
[HTC One S] aza314:
I recently cut my SIM down to microSIM size, using a scalpel and a ruler. Kept the cutout so that I could use the SIM in both my Desire and One S.

NB: had to file it down a bit more because it got stuck in the One S in the shop as I was, erm, testing - rather embarrassing :p

If u want change sth in/with system apps u need root (not unlock only root). Than u can use any app to stop internet connection for other apps or delete them (even system).

But i dont understand one thing: sayin that apps are starting when u enable data u mean that it start to sync or that it do it indepedently (maybe its wrong word)? Cause sync u can srop in account settings, but if u mean that apps starts when u dont want it - ive never heard about sth like this, sry

[HTC Amaze 4G] knifeproz:
Whats up with the transitions for the amaze? Where can you turns those off? I mean I've looked just about everywhere; the square transition from page to page is annoying. Any way to turn it off or change it? Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] adslee:
You can't change the page transitions on Sense, if it's too much to put up with, you could always use a third party launcher such as Go Launcher Ex or ADW Launcher Ex
[HTC Amaze 4G] knifeproz:
Meh...this is one of the things i hate about sense...

HTC needs to step it up with sense. yeah they got sense 4.0 now but thats probably exclusive to the V X and S from the One series, until someone ports the roms over...I don't like the lockscreen, the app page, transitions, bland everything..its so bad. it's aosp for me or 4.0...but since i like ics ill deal with it for now... but it doesnt even feel like ics ;\
[HTC Amaze 4G] sportsstar89:
Dude the transition cool and they won't change it just for you but I do think they should ad choices
[HTC Amaze 4G] Xcor3:
What else do you want? software that makes your phone invisible? Might as well go for other brands.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lonz358:
Just use a different launcher...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
I don't know if this is what you're talking about.

Go to

[HTC One S] allyn274:
Got my new HTC One S from TMo today. Pretty psyched! Getting it all set up and I can't send applications from the Play Store to the phone.

I can install apps just fine from the Play Store on the phone, but I was trying to send them from the Play Store on my PC to the phone. It looks like it's working, says "This app will be downloaded to your device shortly" but it never shows up.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
[HTC One S] orenfl:
I'm able to do that but I'm with an unbranded one.

I did encounter such behavior when my phone was on a wifi network which is behind a firewall when the Play store on the phone is not communicating with the internet one.
[HTC One S] kyuubi_ac:
I'm still waiting for my One S, but I have the same issue with my Desire while beeing connected to wifi. it starts as soon as I enter Google Play on the phone or when I disconnect wifi.
[HTC One S] allyn274:
The One S isn't on the supported devices list yet. Could that have anything to do with it?

Never had this issue before...
[HTC One S] jacakowal:
I know that this is basic stuff but:

Are you sign up to the same account on your HTC and on you PC?

Do you have turn on the syncronistaion on your mobile?
[HTC One S] allyn274:
Yes thanks - I do have all the basics just fine. And I can buy apps directly on my phone that work fine.
[HTC One S] orenfl:
Since for me on home wifi or cellular data connection all works fine, it got to be something else.

Either some firewall blocking or any other settings.

Did you restarted the phone? background data or any tasker/other rule to block?
[HTC One S] allyn274:
issue resolved...

Mods, please close this topic unless you think it might be helpful for anyone else... The issue resolved itself. I'm able to send apps to my phone now.

Thanks!
[HTC One S] kuroneko007:
It didn't work for me at first, but after downloading a few apps manually, it worked from the PC also. I think you just need to make the initial association between the phone and your Google Play account.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elmo108:
Hey guys,

I was thinking about getting the Galaxy Nexus directly from Google through the Play Store. Are there different versions around or will it also work here in Germany?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Yes its the same. It's unlocked and will work anywhere in the world. The Play Store

only ships to the US

though. Have to buy from a different importer, or from a phone shop in Germany.

There's nothing special about the Play Store version though... it just has Google Wallet preloaded, that's it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elmo108:
Alright, thanks! I have an American friend who would get me one. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
The question is, why would you go through all that trouble? It's not like it's cheaper. If customs opens the package and that's very likely, it'll end up costing you even more than in any local MediaMarkt who are selling them for around 360€.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Its gonna be more expensive to have them buy it in the US + tax + shipping, then pay to ship it to you + customs (potentially).

Just buy it directly and have it shipped to Germany.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HanSolo80:
Well, right now there is no better price than buying it in the U.S. and importing it, in my opinion. The phone will be about $380 including tax and shipping. This is 310 Euros. Tax for delivery to Germany will be about 40 Euros. So it is 350 Euros effectively.

I can't find any store that sells the Nexus for this price in Germany right now. Do you?

And which U.S. store is selling the Nexus at a comparable price that will ship to Germany?

Greetings,

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ThiloL:
My xperia s is normally in silent mode while I'm on my workplace (desk). I feel that vibration is very weak in comparioson to my old HTC Desire. If I have teh phone on my desk I doesn't notice the vibration if a call comes in.

Is there a possibility to increase vibration strength?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Probably not. Hardware stuff. If you have the phone on your desk, can't you just see it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ThiloL:
I notice the call only if I happened to see at this moment on the phone.

I noticed this also, I always have my phone on silent-vibrate-only and miss it going off in my pocket :/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mikbe:
I noticed this too. Someone sure comes up with mod that bumps the voltage of that little motor.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Efe64:
Same here...

Had the iphone 4s before this..

Vibrating like crazy
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sikiduck:
Dont mess up your phone.. just by a vibrator :D

From joke to revolver. Technically I do not believe that there is a way to increase the vibration, the circuit that allows the motor to spin is set at a standard voltage, hence if you wanted to increase the power or intensity you would have to increase the voltage.

BUT U CAN: tear it apart then and epoxy a little more weight to the off balanced weight.

Or u can manipulating by raising/lowering or stepping the voltage to it is the only way of varying the intensity. How? No idea. But thata all I can think of.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hariharan321:
Can somebody explain what is MTD, and non MTD.. Something that normal beings can understand..
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheatman:
Sure, here you go, a nice story for all humans to understand :-D

Think about Windows 95 which was running on the Fat32 filesystem. Back then files rarely reached 2GB in size and hard drives were really small. Later came Windows 7, for example. Windows 7 uses NTFS, which is also a filesystem but adapted to be more suited to the times of today. We now have DVD images which regularly exceed 2GB, so the Fat32 filesystem would be pretty useless today.

MTD is like NTFS and BML is like Fat32. Like Windows 95 can't run on NTFS, so Gingerbread cannot run on MTD. As Windows 7 runs crappy on Fat32, so does ICS run worse on BML than MTD.

MTD means storing data in a completely different and more flexible way. This is why it is better to use it.

To understand why you can go from BML to MTD and not the other way around here you go:

MTD is newer and smarter. Therefore, it can take BML into account and convert it correctly as it can understand it. BML on the other hand is older and MTD did not exist back then. Therefore BML cannot convert MTD back.

Now, when you need to change MTD partition sizes, you have to erase everything. Resizing partitions complicates things because there is a high risk of corrupting data in the process. Normally you would need special tools to resize partitions (even on your PC you need special tools). Also, the partition type must support resizing. So, to avoid complications, it is safer, faster and simpler for everyone to just erase everything and start fresh because this way we have a higher degree of control. That means less chances to brick the device and unfortunately a lot of data restores if you want to run the latest and greatest versions of Android.

I hope this sheds some light on the MTD matter to everyone and why some things are impossible as well as why some requirements must be met.

Peace,

C.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] testdummy:
If your settings are like the ones in the screenshots I posted, then I would say there is likely problems with data im your area.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CUKIO34:
my settings are the exact same. no luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CUKIO34:
also my carrier says "HOME" in the top left corner. I wonder if this has something to do with it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] testdummy:
Mine displays HOME when I pull down the notifications window and only for a few seconds when in the lock screen. Other than that it doesn't display HOME from what I've noticed. I don't think you have to worry about the what is displayed as the carrier's name. Since you are able to make phone calls and received messages (both SMS and MMS?) and the only thing that is not working is just data, then it's probably something in the phone configuration or a problem in your area. If you haven't done so yet I would recommend contacting Straight Talk.

What symbol, if any, do you have to the left of the signal bar?

I know this probably isn't the case but did your turn Wifi off? If not try turning it on or off and making sure it stays off so you can connect to the data network.

I don't know if you have done so but you could try a factory reset, not sure if this would help.

If none of the above works you could try rooting and flashing the AT&T stock rom to the phone or some other rom. (Consult this recommendation with someone more experienced here on the forums. Personally, I don't see more troubleshooting options.)

If there is no problem with the network and none of the above works then I think your phone may be damaged, unless it used to work perfectly with AT&T. Did you switch from AT&T to Straight Talk or did you buy the buy through ebay or on the street to activate ti with them?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeovaGioohh:
wondered if the possibility of sense 4 or xperia s rom in my defy the green lens?

sorry for bad english

:confused:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omarvin:
... the entire ROM is impossible Android is divided into layers and the lowest is directly related to the hardware, no matter what manufacturer, which adopts similar projects between the devices themselves but the hardware is always different.

There is a rom (out of XDA) that may be what you are looking for is called Jboogie 3 - Liquid ARC is not a Sony rom, only the visual changes to look like an Xperia ...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_<3er:
I don't think it is impossible, but it won't happen, at least not now for a few reasons.

Sense 4.0 is extremely difficult, there is a lot of trouble porting it to HTC devices because of the newer kernel and the general action of taking it to ICS. It took ages for DefyFroyoSense (a really old sense 2.0 + 2.2.1 rom for defy) to come together, and now it's been virtually abandoned because it is too hard to dev.

Plus, there aren't really a lot of people who are interested in Sense 4.0 in the defy forums at the moment. If it is a great hassle to port stock vanilla ICS (cm9, aokp and codename android), then you can bet it will be beyond a pain in the ass for sense. Sense in general is pretty much limited to HTC devices.

For Xperia, it isn't easy either. I guess you can port the UI and framework and all that **** but the whole rom... well let's not think about that. Again, it's ICS again, so yeah.

So.... yeah u get my point. :(

Oh yeah and your defy being a green lens isn't good either, especially if a GB motorola rom will be involved in a possible port. GG.
