Ya, like he said, I think it will work for you, as I bricked my phone once (it even couldn't boot to download mode, googled around hopelessly and I just riskily tried odin (try to hold buttons to download mode) and magically, odin still recognized it and then, with 2 times one-click KJ6 (to have bootloader), it was on :D (I think you just keep patient and w a little hope and carefulness, everything will be ok ;) )
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adobrakic:
Yep. Same as above for me. It didn't even look like my phone was booting into download mode, the screen was just black. I tried over and over with my phone plugged in, and odin finally detected it and I was able to fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ericmpanda:
I'd go for it. This device seams to be pretty hard to permanent brick. Odin seems to save me from any issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Racing19969:
Even if it's hard bricked it would be worth it... JTAG repair runs around $40 to $50 dollars or you can do what I did and perform the unbrickable mod...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] akonsand:
Hello,

I have p500(indian) on old baseband and want to upgrade to new bb using lgmdp.. following are a few questions that i dint find an answer to.

1.what is the risk of having a bricked device if i turn off lg virtual modem..?

2. th lg virtual modem is shown as lge android platform usb modem.. is it the same..?

3. What rom and recovery should i be on to flash new baseband?

4. can i flash cm9 first and then new baseband?

5.my recovery takes around 5 seconds to show the options... it wasnt like this before.. is this normal? im on the recovery i firrst installed(amonra 1.2 the one with bad boot message)

6.before flashing a recovery zip or cwm from rom manger what precautions should i take?

7.In rom manager if i say install recovery.. it shows p500 and p500(oldbb) so if i flash old bb now and then upgrade.. will it work?

8. if flash the one without (oldbb) will my phone get bricked..?

Thanks for your answers in advance.. p500 was the best phone i got in my life.. and its not because of lg.. its because of its awesome community.!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] neko95:
> when i was on stock as you

> 1st I rooted ,this is A MUST 1st to do

> 2nd flash clockworkmod or amonra.. but cwm would be good for starters, just download rom manager at play store.. and u'll get it

> 3rd since ur on old baseband.. i suggest you flash cm7 rom or the on i modded then flash the old baseband fix so you dont need to upgrade

> incase you want to upgrade so u can also use cm9

> now is the time to use lgmdp .. Em not sure.. but i think its different ..virtual modem wasnt there when i switched baseband so i did not disabled any..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] peter joe:
i think it good
[Optimus One, P500, V General] akonsand:
Can anyone answer please..? cant find answers to these questions.. and neko man i think you misunderstood my question.. it partly answered one that is lg virtula modem maybe does not play an important part.. ppl please answer..

!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Joel Chan:
Well there are many tutorials out there on how to get new bb. Just follow them step by step. You have to flash it first then you can get CM9. Forgive me but some of your question sound like this "Will my phone work if I submerge half of it in water?". Don't worry just do as you're told on the tutorials :) All the best!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] akonsand:
joel chan thanks for telling me.. but actually my whole family has gone out.. and this is the only phone i have.. so i have to be extra careful... being an engineer.. had to evaluate each and every risk factor that could be involved.. i know i might so III md screwed up.. but thanks for anwering atleat two of my wuestions.:-)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Joel Chan:
Glad I could help :) So have you got your CM9?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] akonsand:
I still am not sure if i can go aHead and flash it.. i flashed it without baseband.. and it was awesome except network..will flash soon though..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Joel Chan:
Yes, you'll only get the network if you have new baseband.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] iliketrainsalot:
like neko said, you don't have to upgrade, you can just flash the oldbb fix. i have old bb too. I have ics with service. :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Joel Chan:
True!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] akonsand:
?

Ok.. but what baseband fix..? i tried adfads.. but didnt work.. i installed hephappys youlookbeautiful..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Joel Chan:
Do you need data? If not you could use mik's patch
[Optimus One, P500, V General] akonsand:
i dont really need it.. but it would be good if i had it.. and i thought miks patc was for running cm7 on new bb..?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Joel Chan:
But you could try! There's no harm
[Optimus One, P500, V General] akonsand:
Ok.. will try..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jrhodes85:
Aspee has an old baseband fix that might work.. there is also a funny sim fix that might work...flashing baseband is easy and simple
[Optimus One, P500, V General] akonsand:
I know how to flash bb.. but since this is the only phone ive got.. what are the risks of bricking it..?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Joel Chan:
There is definitely a risk, and you have to follow the instructions clearly to avoid any risks. To be honest here, I bricked my phone thrice (yes! 3 times) using kdz updater. That's why I'd suggest that you don't upgrade to new bb using kdz updater
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bhawan:
The only and most secure thing i have to prefer u to flash official froyo 2.2.2 on ur phone first... if u already using it then its ok... n if not then search a official froyo rom in zip format for flashing it via cwm recovery... after then... use lg pc suite for upgrading it to official 2.3.3 n ur phone will automatically updated to new bb too.

EDIT: Just clarify me what rom n recovery are u using...!?? What android version and baseband shows on ur phone....

Type in phone dialer to get BB details

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thanitos:
I have 2.3 version of phone bricker and I want to update to the 2.5 version, can I save it to my SD card and update through CWM without doing a wipe or losing any data? I've had some issues on 2.3 I figured a new flash or a full wipe would get rid of.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
This should be in the lil phone bricker thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thanitos:
The rules of the forum clearly state any questions about roms not involving development should be asked in the Q and A
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Update, just clear cache/dalvik for good measure. ;)

But depending on your issues a full wipe may be the best bet mostly if you flashed my Rom coming from another Rom with no wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thanitos:
very much appriciated thank you, also the blue theme friggin awesome on the phone :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
That really only applies to the forums that have dedicated Q&A threads ie not this one. Forums like the Captivate and the inspire that is true for. Here you should always ask in the development thread before making a new thread
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
His post count is less than 10; he can't ask in the development thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
I have seen people with less than 10, I know its a rule but that the forum itself didn't let you.

Too lazy to search for them, not that I care cause I end up getting PMs instead.

I would rather they post so others can answer in case I am swamped.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
I hadn't noticed his post count, and he referred to the rule so I just went with that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] snipe2nite:
LiLChris06, I see you're always responding to people's questions, that is very cool of you!! Your ROM looks great I will be flashing this (first time flasher) I pick you to Captain my phone after many days or reading page after page after page.... Sail long Sail strong my dude!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Point is, if every person with a post count of less than 10 made a question thread we'd have a ton of new threads. Maybe if a dev made a q&a thread for their rom it would make for easier answering of questions for those with a smaller post count . It does suck if u have a question and you can't post in dev section, but at the same time, it pushes those people to contribute in other ways in other places. As well as search, which a lot of new members don't wanna do. They would rather just ask again even if their question has already been answered.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thanitos:
You don't want to see more questions posted here like mine yet you keep reviving the topic? I'm not going to day you're just trying to stack your post count but....

My question was answered unless you're going to add new information or something useful stop filling the thread with your wasteful posts, thanks to whomever actually answered my question the update was butter and all my reboot issues are gone love this rom.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Silverstarjigar:
I m from xperia play forum.

My lil sis have galaxy y,

she wants some different os in her mobile, so i downloaded miui rom, i rooted her phone. Put the cwm.zip in her sd card, installed it via stock cwm, made a backup of current rom, then i made factory reset and wipe cache partition, then installed the rom, it said installed. Then booted, but nothing happened. The phone was the same as before. Am i doing anything wrong?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Avilove.Cullen:
:eek:

Have u cleared user data ??
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] "theviper":
Miui doesnt work on sgy by now but there are many more custom roms available try them
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] harigavara:
Bro the miui rom isnt working perfect .its for not users still.its for testers n developers only.its having still bugs.dont try it.instead try weui rom which may satisfy ur lil sis.it luks same as miui.

N watever the rom u were trying,pls try to read all the required info of how to instal carefully.

Please Press Thanks if you think i helped you.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
are you sure that your rom is miui for SGY?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Kousthubha Kumar:
MIUI rom is still under development..choose any other ROM ..Its only for testers..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nabbu:
I know this thread seems a little out of place because it isn't about the e4gt or any cellphone for that matter but I think those computer techs on computer specific forums don't help "less smart" people like me so here I am.

FYI---> I'm a regular on XDA and I have the e4gt so don't try and kick me off for asking for help.

The problem I'm having is I have a crappy little 13GB hard drive, from 2005-2007, called the Quantum fireball that has been giving me nothing but trouble due to fragmentation or "access denied" files and accounts. Firstly, I know what you're thinking and no I don't have any money to buy another hard drive and second I've been trying to fix this for about 2 months now.

I finally found out how to access an old account from the hard drives previous computer, it's a swap out drive fyi, that was holding 80% of the fragmentation and is now cleared out but I'm still seeing, during disk defrag, more than 70% of the drive is being used by contiguous files..:confused:

I'm confused because I've cleaned this thing a THOUSAND times and there's nothing on it.

I've uninstalled a lot of programs and what's on the drive only takes up 3-4GB but it says I'm using 8-9GB...?

I know Windows is on the hard drive but you can't tell me, unless I'm stupid, that windows is 5-6GB in size.

If I could show you guys what it looked like it would be: contiguous = 1's free space = 2's fragmented = 3's unmovable = 4's

444441111113111111131311133311112211211212121111222122122331113311

The numbers are the actual size of the files in the disk defrag by the way.

If I need to make it more simple: 1 = blue, 2 = white, 3 = red, 4 = green

Compare it to your own computer if need be and you'll look like..:eek::eek:when you see how many contiguous files there are.

I'm sorry by the way for seeming a little rough or "jumpy" I'm just really tired. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Shoot lol i have a 300GB IDE Maxtor i believe i could send you. Was a replacement for machine which barely got used and now its not like i have any ide controllers to use it with. That or if u have sata i have an 80gb seagate that was pulled from a linux machine i just need someone to tell me how to image it.

Quantum Fireballs were only ever good for one thing and thats bursting into flames.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nabbu:
Ain't it the d*** truth. lol. :p I just rebuilt this computer I'm on with parts from a dell, emachines, and a 2001 HP pavillion so I'm not running anything close to "performance" but it works so I have no complaints about the hardware except this hard drive. It's ridiculous. haha! :o

If I had a 300GB hard drive this computer would fly!....at like...the speed limit but it would be much faster then this pos hard drive.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Much of the space being used that you can't account for is probably pagefile (virtual memory), hibernation our other windows system files you cannot normally see. These will take up large blocks of contiguous hard drive space.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
This right here. Plus depending on which version of Windows he's using there's also the 'volume shadow copy'. All those multiple copies of files take up tons of space very quickly. Then there's the system recovery partition which is around 10GB alone. I can't remember how much space a fresh install of W7 takes up but it's definitely not something to smirk at when using a small HDD.

Honestly the sizes look pretty normal. The OP just needs a larger hard drive.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] AsherFreakz:
I have read about many methods here about increasing internal memory of android. Like, Dual boot method, non dual boot method, app2sd , link2sd methods etc.. Now i am totally confused and dont know which one to use. Am using chobitsDigitalis rom v1.6. I dnt wanna change it as it is the most stable rom I have tried so far for my galaxy Y. so which method should I use ?? please help me.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] leodasal2:
it will take a lot of time and effort if i explain everything to you

for a newbie, i recommend you try link2sd or app2sd

your queries will be solved by using the "SEARCH button"
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Avilove.Cullen:
for increasing internal memory itz best to use it through cwm ;)

Do backup ur contents of sd card :D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] AsherFreakz:
No explain it.. Am not much of a newbie. Jst say what will be the diff ? I jst tried link2sd. Its not much of a help
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] harigavara:
Can u pls be clear wit few more words dude

Please Press Thanks if you think i helped you.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
we can't increase internal memory by cwm (lol)

its a matter of personal reference. basicly they work in similar method which is using 2nd sdcard ext partition as an expansion for internal memory. the differences are:

link 2sd-->use symlink to the app and dex file. (doesn't increase internal memory. its only make a shortcut for all app for save more space)

a2sd darktremor-->mount 2nd partition as /dalvik-cache or /data

my kernel (data-2sd)--> mount 2nd partition as /data.

dualboot kernel-->load different OS and /data increase internal memory.

positive side

link2sd-->easy to use

a2sd darktremor-->so many customization, not only increase internal memory

data-2sd-->completely change /data partition. more stable

dualboot-->completely change /system and /data partition. we can have two rom in one device.

negative side

link2sd-->not really stable. app may lose if link2sd gone.

a2sd darktremor-->not friendly use. not really stable

data-2sd-->need custom kernel and fast sdcard

dualboot-->need custom kernel, fast sdcard, and a modified rom for 2nd rom.

it's a matter of personal reference. link2sd is easiest to use while dualboot is the most difficult one.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Avilove.Cullen:
yup dts for sure as if we will increase internal memory through cwm then sd card will be completely wiped off ... and more over system gets a bit laggy if the sd card is not of gud class .. :cool:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
I don't understand it. how could we increase internal memory by cwm?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Avilove.Cullen:
by making sd card partition :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
make sdcard partition. then?

btw, @ahsher, you can put these script into build.prop file to increase speed.

and after that there is one more opt that i dont remember .. i will check and then post ok ... !!

and btw this tweak will work for G-FIT bro ... ??? :D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
come on...I know that you never try it before. make a second partition didn't increase internal memoril. please don't act that you know everything. you don't even have sgy in your hand.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Avilove.Cullen:
ha ha ha ... some people think that posting nonsense will add smartness to their character .. lol i had done that before but its a matter that i dont remember the opt ... :p

u do not know that does not mean that no one has tried or the opt is not there ... and i think that u do not know about 2nd partition stuff ... before posting do check a llil bit ... :cool:

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

the thread is of increasing internal memory not "a2sd" .. and what i know everyone knows .. no need to tell you .. what you know is the big stuff.. :p
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
@avi: be cool...I didn't mean to offend anyone here. it's already obvious that you never try to increase your internal memory. not all everything you know about gfit is applicable to sgy. people will see you as a foolish if you act know everything about sgy. this is my advice. take it cool.

@chamatht: pssssttt....
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Avilove.Cullen:
Yup itz true everything s nt applicable to sgy.. But i had increased internal memory through cwm !!

I wil post a thread link ok :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
guys...would you stop?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Avilove.Cullen:
True .. Everyone was a noob when he/she got an Android phone!!

No matter how great dev he is :)

And for sure i respect ur work ;)

But in G-Fit there was a thread to increase internal memory through cwm ! Itz true that the app have just a link or shortcut to the sd card but in storage the internal memory shows above 1 Gb coz the sd card partition is being used by the system:cool:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] simplyanin:

Plzzzzzzz guys stop it ...

Need Help

I've been using Creeds Rom v2.0 with the bootanimation.zip_FIX and 14 toggles and used ChobitsDigital Monochrome Skin.

Also A2SDGUI with Tema_Kernal since the kernal was released.

my phone got almost 200+ application and mostly are games including HD and experience no force close after deciding not to use DSPManager since it always ForceClose for whatever reason so i used volume+.

when i go to A2SDGUI and selected on ' Apps are on internal Storage! ' and selected YES, the small bar at the button never turns to green like the Zipaligned on boot.

i successfully flash my backup stock kernel with odin as PDA and the kernel verison was updated for DXLB after checking on Setting > about phone.

i re-flash again terma kernel with odin successfully and still A2SDGUI wont work.

(i switch kernels for DDLA, DXLB and Terma) all flash was done in ODIN and Kernel version always get updated after successful flash.

as you can see on titanium back-up screenshot, it doesn't indicate the 4 line for my sd-ext2 which is 1GB.

i need help please. . .

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tonomon:
I'm getting a green Aurora over the camera in the viewfinder over light/white backgrounds and it's translating to some of my pictures. tested on a white piece of paper with flash enabled and still had green. Sample images attached.

Insight?

Should I return the phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bendotson:
You should absolutely take it back. That's terrible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tonomon:
Thanks for the reply. I was almost hoping for someone to come tell me it's normal. I'm only on day two of my thirty and I've already downloaded so many apps :(

Anyone want to try a test of a white sheet of paper?

Just tested on paper towel in a different room with different lighting both with flash and without.

It would be really helpful for a sticky with known defects so we can completely check out the phones for defects in one place.

I'm glad I didn't buy the phone off of Amazon. Would have made the exchange process a lot more difficult than driving down to the store...
