[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BillThompson:
I don't think there is much after the s4s. This is the only physical connection i could find

Patch Lead for Samsung Galaxy S5

Official UMTS/LTE test cable for Samsung Galaxy S5. Mini-RF PCB connector - Gold SMA Plug (Male).

www.telcoantennas.com.au

they are not kidding about that connector being fussy, wouldn't be practical for daily use. Looks like all modern phones have buried the RF ports and went to micro connectors. No more physically connected external antenna's for cell phones. May be a couple made for what looks to be military or backcountry but think they were made for Chinese or Australian networks.
[HTC One X] ZigmunD:
Everything was fine until I flashed CM9. Now I can not boot into recovery.

Recovery loads and I can see it for a moment and then phone reboots.

Tried CWM and TWRP, tried boot into recovery from CM9 reboot menu - same there.

Any suggestion?

PS. Downloading 401.9 RUU now...
[HTC One X] ckpv5:
Try "fastboot erase cache" after flash the recovery.
[HTC One X] ZigmunD:
Thanks, man! That works.

That's strange because I already erased cache before flashing CM9...
[Surround General] Alva:
I have htc surround with 4.3.2250.0 spl

I made secutiry unlocked via xtc-clip, s58 is cleared, but after unlock mid is PD26*** (It is on every htc with s-off)

Now I am going to flash official rom to downgrade spl, then I am going to make hard-spl, but there is a problem

My mid now PD26***, the utility will say it is not supported. Hot to fix the problem?
[Surround General] nhathoa:
You have to make security lock than flash nodo Rom than hspl.
[Surround General] ah007:
How to unlock security lock ?. Who know ?
[Surround General] elmanortega:
install oem rom

then hspl

then install custom rom

done

congrats

i have the same problem..

where's the oem rom thread? please help
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] avi.levi:
Hi,

My apologies. I cannot post this in the development thread, so I am opening this thread.

I have flashed DoomLorD's kernel (v0.3). Can I use it with the CM9 ROM or do I have to flash the kernel specified there (which by the way, I cannot find in the .zip)?

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] deathscream:
Yes you can use it...but the fxp is still not stable enough...a lot of features have been disabled
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] deathscream:
Both the kernels are the same (:

Oh....doom Lord has himself spoken....can't use the kernel with Cm9...but Cm9 worked smoothly on my xs with doom kernel....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] avi.levi:
Well, I tried flashing it with the DooM kernel, but it didn't work.

Got stuck in boot loop.

Where can I get the CM9 kernel from?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] avi.levi:
Can you explain how you flashed CM9 on your Xperia S?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Apology11:
I don´t know how you got It to work but I thought CM9 is a ICS Rom so you can´t use it with a kernel which is made for 2.3 GB ?!?

Or am I wrong?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
That's what I was thinking as well...

Since it's ICS based, it shouldn't have worked with Doom's kernel :confused:

No idea how he got it to work...not even sure why he even wants to put on CM9, since there is no data yet :P
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] RawkBob:
Seriously, go and read the fxp thread on how to flash the kernel, it's in the first post. if you want doomlord kernel read his thread but use stock.

If you can't read, get off xda - you'll end up breaking your phone.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
I think the installation package for CM9 will flash also the CM kernel included.

Maybe not sure.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Apology11:
I don´t know, but in that case he should have recognized that there is no "DoomLord" Bootlogo...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] deathscream:
I guess i got lucky but I used the doom kernel 0.3 a ....the CM9 FXP115 booted fine on my Xs...anyway you can get the CM9 kernel from the FXP zip file.....search for a file with the name : kernel.elf ....

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] seanicca:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sikiduck:
Beats? I got the same plug and my XS recognize it :S
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doministry:
X S doesn't work with some headsets, those with microphone.

X S has different design than previous Xperias.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rashkae:
Disagree. Xperia S uses the CTIA plug, same as most phones out there.

I used beats with the in-line mic and they work fine. For some headsets you need to cold the call button on the headset as you insert it, then it recognizes just fine.

FYI, this was already extensively discussed. SEARCH BEFORE YOU POST!!!!!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filthykid:
This is definitely a FANTASTIC device in the market as of today. But I wonder why samsung reduced its price sooooo much?

Its just a little higher than s2 so obviously people will opt for Note than s2 (if size doesn't matter to them).

But where is the catch? I mean why they suddenly reduced Note's price THAT MUCH? From 800+ US dollars to 500+? Isn't that "to good to be true" deal?

I wonder what's samsung motive behind reducing Note's price.

a) Have they started making models with cheaper material now to fit in the latter price?

b) They reduced the price to justify their huge predicted target sales for Note?

c) Wanted people to stop buying s2 so that Note can get the lime light?

d) Reduced price so that people go for Note and by the time when enough sales have been made, they will lauch s3.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3TALLICA:
Marketing strategy. I went to buy S2 but there was lil difference in price so I bought Note, don't regret it.

When S3 is released Nexus, Note and S2 will be even cheaper.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filthykid:
Hmm. Point no. C.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DPMAce:
samsung wants the note to be competitive with the quad cores.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexanderbooth:
Its just because its getting older, it will just keep going down in price now until they stop making them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mystic38:
You actually have no idea WHO has reduced the price... you make an assumption that it is Samsung.. but it is just that, an assumption.

I would expect that the phones are somewhat cheaper to manufacturer now, given that there has been 8 months for yield improvement, but there is no evidence or reason for this itself to be reflected in the asp (average selling price).. Samsung should, if they at all possibly can, use any yield enhancement cost benefits to boost their margin, not support lower wholesale prices.

Resellers are in business to make money, and the general nature of value items like the Note is to milk the market at the highest price possible, then gradually reduce the price as interest falls to keep the sales volume high on a weekly/monthly basis .. ultimately, the low price is set by wholesale + minimum margin...

So, the pricing curve of the Note is highly typical of most other consumer devices like phones selling in high volume.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meomeo986:
Yeah, from the time when i bought it for like 580$ (which is quite cheap at that time) and now it is like around 530... It was just more than a month, a little bit quickly but i accept that fact, and will not regret that
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filthykid:
But is Note competitive enough to compete with the incoming Quad Core phones?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenizaro:
Simple: Product Cycle Theory

First level was attracting the "I must have it quickly cause its the latest technology" type of costumers with heavy advertising program. They sold enough to this type of consumers with high prices. Advertising and R&D costs have been gained by these costumers. Then they realized that sells are getting slower. Second level started. With lower prices attracting leftover costumers. They dont have to put high prices cause they already gained R&D costs. With low production costs (New Average Cost= Average Total Cost - Average R&D Cost - Average Ads Cost) profits are coming again with increased sales. They will release Quadcore SGS3 soon and a new product cycle will begin. After a while SGN will pass to third level "downfall" :) Sorry for this boring information I couldnt stop myself :D

I have master degree in marketing :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smalmagal:

i paid $880AU for my note in november last year.

now i can pick one up for $510AU.

htc have a quad core phone for around $570 for the same site, so no one would ever buy a note if it cost more than the htc one x.

plus, samsung announced the s3 in 2 days time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filthykid:
Although Samsung has tried its best to create a new category (Phablet) by bringing NOTE into the market. But still people will compare it with current available mobile phones in market to build their decision for a purchase. This will only change once more phablets start entering the market from competition, only then can the comparison between phablets start.

Newegg has it right now for $499, or a bundle with a BT headset for $515 and a $20 MIR.

What's the procdeure to purchase goods from Newegg?

And how do one pays? as in, online or Cash-on-delivery?

If you are paying online and upon delivery the product turns out to be faulty or not good.. What to do then? Replace?

As with on delivery, you have upper hand that if the product didnt turn out to be good or the one you ordered.. you can easily refuse to accept it.

Hey guys,

Hopefully you can help me, I've successfully rooted installed cwm and done a nandroid back up, I updated to the 2.3.5 update, I want to restore my files back to how they were with the 2.2 system, when I go to restore, should I restore boot, system, data, cache and sd-ext? I was under the impression this will reinstall the 2.2 rom

Thanks.

Use titanium backup: menu > more > extract from nandroid backup.

hey guys, I got a question about nandroid backup and since I have a huawei this seems to be the right thread

I'm about to get a new sd card class 10 to replace my current slower one..I want to know: if I make a nandroid backup with my clockwork recovery then I transfer it to the new sd card and plug it in my phone can I restore it from recovery? the recovery and the phone are the same, I will change just my sd card with the new one..it's too boring to reinstall everything so I'd like to know if I can do it this way :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Qqqxxxzzz:
yes
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] 7HUND3R:
Thank you! I asked because I tried in the past to put a custom rom this way but the backup wasn't mine..the cook of the rom shared his nandroid backup to let you have the rom already set up..but it was a mess because after the nandroid was restored the recovery automatically formatted the user data on the sd and when the phone boots was a disaster..maybe because the versions of the recoveries were different or because the phone was different..

If you have another occurrence then try letting the battery go flat first before trying flashing for that is the same as removing the battery in a phone. If that doesn't fix it then let the battery go flat again and do a factory reset. It worked for me.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThE_SoUrCe:
it's an endless bootloop right? assuming that you have reflashed with a stock firmware via odin, DO NOT INSTALL/FLASH CWM!

>device will reboot and will be stuck on samsung gtab 7.7 logo

-hold on power + volume up

>device will try to restart

-don't release the power + volume up

it will enter recovery mode (yellow writings) then just select wipe user data

> this will format your entire internal SD card!

Going to recovery mode resets on "Copying common apks", so I cannot do anything. Download mode is working, so I tried CWM rec. & wipes: data, cache, dalvik. Tried reflashing stock LB3 (P6810) as well. No luck. @#$@$ I did nothing serious to the tab for at least 3 weeks.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruffruff:
Guys, the only fix to the problem where you tried to recover to factory default and stuck at "updating application" @ recovery is battery death. Other than that, then you would need to bring it to the nearest samsung service centre for them to flash a firmware which can do a complete wipe.

Well, at least for me, i didnt have the patience to wait, so i pop by the nearest samsung centre to do a factory reset.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom Ber:
1. I waited, and nothing changed, so I installed CWM 5.0.2.7, and tried to format /data, --> reset. No luck. Now I'm waiting for e2fsck to finish but it last really long - a lot of errors...

How can I format from adb shell /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 (/data)? using simple mke2fs shows me something about "lseek: value too large"...

2. # fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0

3. I cannot mount /emmc from CWM. I can mount /cache, /system, even /data with errors (doing ls -R resets tab)

Any ideas? I did completely nothing to the tab before yesterday.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruffruff:
Tom ber, no choice, just leave your tab to drain out of juice and it will be back alive.

We, unlike the phone models, dun have the luxury of taking out the battery to force a power cycle.

When i had the problem, i basically tried at least 4 firmwares from samfirmware and nothings work. It just stucks at boot and even if I enter 3e recovery, it will just reboot itself after showing "updating application".

just curious, what firmware were you on when you got this problem? When i had the problem, i was on DXLB3 with root. Now i am back to DXLA2 without any further occurrence of this issue.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom Ber:
In one sentence: I did it, I've repaired it :)

In my case, draining did not help at all. My problem was seriously corrupted /data. It was completely unusable. I could not format it. Flashing did not help because restart after reboot could not update /data, so in fact reflashing was unsuccessful. So after all different updates/flashes/etc this what I think helped me:

1. I flashed via ODIN - CWM 5.0 (CWM 5.5 was bad for me, adb could not connect it) and used adb shell. CWM for P6810, CWM for P6800

2. I used adb shell and e2fsck -yfDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 (my tab is P6810, for P6800 mmcblk0p10) for a dozen of times. adb connection from time to time was disconnected. So I had to start over and over, but every time I did small repairs ;) Then it stopped on 60% (inode clone)... because of -y option it tried to recover lost files, but since I have full buckup, I did not care about it. So I used manual mode -fDC0 and I pressed N for the rest of questions about inode. Then I fixed all folders. Finally after 4h of adb session I got (almost) clean e2fsck.

3. I tried format /data from CWM recovery. It went FINALLY smooth!

4. Reflashed stock FW. After reflashing it, reboot went so quickly that even did not realize it happened. And I saw Google's "WELCOME" ;)

I hope it helps someone.

Don't give up if battery draining did not help. Try to flash CWM 5.0 and check all partitions with e2fsck, and be patient ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThE_SoUrCe:
now I'm curious on what could've been the caused of this occurrence?

is it coincidence that almost all the guys here in this thread have this issue at the same day, with same symptoms and doing nothing unusual on the tab aside from using it normally?

could it be a deadly 'virus' being pumped in via Wifi/data connection, from samsung? is it a bug that when we hit a certain date, the tab will corrupt itself? lol
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsherif:
