[Sony Tablet S] xyancompgeek:
LOL........could sum1 give me a technical reason?
[Sony Tablet S] praed0r:
Could I politely suggest that you have a browse through the forum, there are many references to the "unlock bootloader" issue. have a read - very educational I found.
[Sony Tablet S] xyancompgeek:
sure. only thing I've known is that sony has somehow locked the bootloader and nobody knows how to get into fastboot. but what do these terms mean?
[Sony Tablet S] wintermute000:
IF you don't know what those terms mean then why are you complaining that someone hasn't done the work that you yourself can't do????

TL:DR summary

- sony have locked this thing down super tight. If you want to know more, read up.

- this device has a small install base

- small number of users = even smaller number of devs to throw at a very difficult problem (compared to say samsung or even HTC or motorola devices)

hence.....
[Sony Tablet S] agc93:
If you want the technical reasons for why the bootloader is locked, you need to really read up and understand everything about bootloaders. They are very complex, and very device-specific and therefore very difficult to unlock when a manufacturer specifically protects them. I don't think we even have a proper partition dump for the Tablet, so it will be quite some time before we see any development in that.

It's worth elaborating that there is no magical unlock() function built in to the bootloader. They are complex, they are poorly documented (outside of Sony) and they are not made to be unlocked by users. In the past, I've found Samsung's slightly easier to work with at this level, but they're still fiendishly difficult.

You only have to check out the code used in ASUS's bootloader unlocking tool they released a while ago to see how complex this can be without manufacturer support.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thedragons22:
i have a Samsung Exhibit 4g phone, rooted and backed up by titanium backup. I tried using the kitchen theme stuff, and i copied the original framework-res.apk file to a folder in the sd card . Then i copied the framework-res.apk file from the UOT zip to the location where the original file was and rebooted the phone. Now my phone is stuck at the Samsung logo screen and it keeps looping. anyway to fix this? :/

P.S: the location i copied the original file doesnt show up in the recovery menu when i go to install package. Also, when i tried the downloading mode, it just says downloading and doesnt do anything. Tried factory restore too. The original file is somewhere on the sd card i just dont know how to access it and put it back into its original location.... no i dont have a copy of it on my computer.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Follow this guide

If you are in a loop, you have to manage this fast or else it will just reboot again, i suggest a copy and paste function for the third command. also I don't know for sure whether /dev/block/st19 is your /system partition, but i'll try.

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/st19 /system

exit

adb push /pathtoyour"ORIGINAL"frameworkres /system/framework

PS, Do this within 15-20 seconds. (You will have multiple attempts as you can do it after every loop)

once you are done, just hard reboot your phone(using power button)

Also you do this in a terminal/cmd window with your phone plugged in.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thedragons22:
wait

wait, sorry im new to this stuff, but i plug in my phone to the computer and then type all of that into cmd while the phone is turning on right? Ill give it a try, but also, i tried using odin before but my computer just doesnt detect the phone all the drivers are install and everything too... so idk if this willl work but ill try and let you know

edit: i tried it, and umm sorry again for being a noob, i plugged in the phone and the battery screen cameup, i opened cmd.exe, turned the phone on and typed "adb shell" in cmd, but uh it said its not a command...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
I am sorry, I assumed you had installed the Android SDK.

Google it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Then install the Samsung composite drivers. Google them.

Then retry the process.

I can guaranty that it will work.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thedragons22:
downloaded

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-T759ZKBTMB

i downloaded them 2 weeks ago already.... that is if that is what your talking about... i tried it again and it also gave me the message Samsung Android Modem has already been installed or something
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
OK, but did you install the sdk?

Dowload and install the JDK(just choose the one for your OS) LINK

Then install the SDK from android LINK
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] raizen101:
yep pt.2 people meaning i already had this problem before and have been solved!

but now this time it's more persistent than before because the only ROM that's been only working for me is the new FITDroid 3.5 (5-2-12) and the other ROM is just going to be stuck at the splash screen or something (where the ROM name or title will be displayed) or be on a bootloop I already tried wiping data, cache and dalvik cache and still it doesn't work.

Working ROMs so far:

Fitdroid 3.5 by Vishwanathptl

Creed's Revolution 3.1 by pratyush.creed w/ boot.zip patch for FitDroid 3.5 by Vishwanathptl

RazoDroiD 4.0 by rajrocks w/ boot.zip patch for Fitdroid 3.5 by Vishwanathptl

ChocoBread 3.0.0 by parudthz w/ boot.zip patch for Fitdroid 3.5 by Vishwanathptl

P.S. "boot.zip" patch for Fitdroid 3.5 can be found HERE or HERE if you can't find it.. (p.s. that's not a mirror it is still Vishwanathptl's original link)

and here are the ROMs i've tried so far and the problems...

CM:

CM7.2 RC1 by Vishwanathptl - stuck on android screen

CM7.2 RC1 by TJ - stuck on android screen

CyanMobile by Squadzone - stuck on android screen

Miracle ROM (base on CM) by DQiB -stuck on android screen

Non-CM ROM:

Creed's ROM 3.1 by pratyush.creed - stuck on splash or title screen

RazoDroid 4.0 by rajrocks - stuck on splash or title screen

Chocobread 3.0.0 by parudthz - stuck on splash or title screen

Stock and Deodexed ROM:

XXKPP - Bootloop

XXKPL deodexed by Vishwanathptl - Bootloop

DXKT7 - Bootloop

XWKTI - Bootloop

DDKT3 - Bootloop

And yes I did wipe everything data, cache and dalvik cache and still those problems are still coming up.

So does anyone know what's the problem here :confused:

edit new info: I think there's something wrong with the "data" because CWM even on the stock recovery it's saying "cannot mount data".

edit new info 2: something weird just happened some of the ROM that i've tested started to work and some of these ROM is RazoDroiD 4.0 so this is what happened..

I flashed RazodroiD 4.0 on CWM and then i flashed Vish. "Boot.zip" patch for Fitdroid 3.5 which is here -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17874689&postcount=2 and it started to work!

weird thing is that when i go to settings>about phone>kernel version it looked like this ---> "2.6.35.7-perf-CL260130 root@VISHWA-PC #2" and the Build Number is RazoDroiD v4.0 by rishee. This is the samething that I have been seeing on the other ROM.

AND format system...

Typed on a small touchscreen
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] raizen101:
nope didn't work i even tried formating everything on CWM but still stuck on title screen or bootloop...

now this time it's showing some errors sometimes i can see in the CWM "error can't mount data" when i flash some ROM and when i tried to wipe the data i see this "E: format_volume: make_extf4fs fail(????) on /dev/block/stl13". and now i can't wipe dalvik cache because it's not showing the yes & no wipe dalvik cache.

P.S still on FITDroid 3.5 because that's the only ROM that have been working for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] a.cid:
The stock rom that you tried flashing, did they have bootloaders removed??

Typed on a small touchscreen
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] raizen101:
I think these two the DXKT7 and XWKTI i got it from annson08's thread but the XXKPP i don't know?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Avilove.Cullen:
r u using cwm by tj_style .. ??
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] tejkumarvusirikala:
flash the stock rom ddkt3

flash the stock rom ddkt3 and then root it.. it will work
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] raizen101:
yep using tj_style's CWM

and nope dude DDKT3+root didn't work

another info: I think there's something wrong with the "data" because even on the stock recovery it's saying "cannot mount data".
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] a.cid:
Annson's thread has the bootloaders removed...

So now try this...

Download latest firmware for your region from samfirmware and flash it...

Root it, and then install cwm by tj style...

And then try flashing any stock based (not cm based) custom rom (obviously except fitdroid, since it already works)...

Also, format system (from cwm) and remove sim card before flashing custom rom...

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] raizen101:
hmm gonna try that later i'ts 11:00pm here and I need to sleep wait for the result in about 8-10 hours lol :D

anyway something weird just happened some of the ROM that i've tested started to work and some of these ROM is RazoDroiD 4.0 so this is what happened..

I flashed RazodroiD 4.0 on CWM and then i flashed Vish. "Boot.zip" patch for Fitdroid 3.5 which is here -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17874689&postcount=2 and it started to work!

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] raizen101:
okay I guest you don't need to wait 8-10 hours for the result because i have it and here it is! *drumroll*....................... it....................... didn't worked... it's still stuck on the splash/title screen. oh well I guest i just try that random solution that i just discover then. thanks anyway! :D and if have you any more idea how to fix this problem please do tell me :D .
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] a.cid:
Okay, do you actually wait for the bootanim to go?

Coz it takes time, won't boot up in 10secs...

And the while the bootanim is running, if the phone vibrates just a little, and then the screen dims somewhat, then the rom is successfully flashed...

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] raizen101:
yep i waited somewhere around 10-15 min. on every ROM I've flashed (including stock rom which usually takes around under 5 min. i think?) and still stuck on splash/title screen or bootloop.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] raizen101:
nope and where can i get a full package stock ROM? all i can see is one package.

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] raizen101:
bump (always wanted to do that :p)

Ok so my problem still persist and I can't still flash (or rather I am always stuck in the boot animation or splash screen) any ROM especially CM based ROMs...

This is what I found...

1. When I try to "wipe data / reset" on "CWM recovery (v.5.0.27)" this appears "E:format_volume: make_ext4fs failed on /dev/block/stl13" and on "advanced" when I try to wipe the "dalvik cache" it won't open like where you can see the "-no and -yes" texts.

2. Now this is the weird part I can flash any other custom ROM (except CM based ROM) and get past on the splash screen and boot animation and use it normaly (sort of...) with the help of this boot.zip patch from FITDroid 3.5, that boot patch doesn't seem to have any boot animation only a splash screen and it also seems to have it's own kernel because when I go to "settings -> About phone -> kernel version" it says 2.6.35.7-perf-CL260130 root@VISHWA-PC #2" and FYI I'm using CREED's ROM. Oh yeah and even if got the ROM working the 1. problem is still there which I have no idea why.

So if anyone please help me again :)

oh and can someone analyze that boot.zip patch file because it's weird that it can make the other ROMs work and not work without it.

Thanks in advance :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] a.cid:
Well a little risky in your case, but you could try using amon-ra recovery...
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] LightAzurik:
Only mount and format each one of the sectors, if you cant mount data, system or cache you will never be able to have fine integrate a custom rom to your device, because some sectors limited you to put all the files in your adroid device correctly at the time of put a new rom. If you are facing that problem, only use the anroid sdk tools in platform, adb shell with cmd (command prompt) for mounting the system

mount /dev/block/stl12 /system

mount /dev/block/stl13 /data

mount /dev/block/stl14 /cache

Once that you finish mounting, format with your device in cwm recovery each of the sectors and you can now flash a custom rom correctly without any problems. the wipe data and cache and you are ready :)

I hope that this can help everyone :)
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] raizen101:
um... can you give a step by step tutorial dude because I have no idea how to use the sdk tools and adb shell.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] raizen101:
Tried it and it didn't work I can still see the "/dev/block/stl13" thing on the recovery when I was trying wipe anything that is related to "Data" (I think :confused:) like "dalvik cache" , "battery stats" , and "rotate settings".
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] a.cid:
What was the error precisely?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] raizen101:
In Amon-ra recovery it says "E:can't mount /dev/block/stl13 (invalid argument)" and some "error mounting /data/"

In CWM it says "E:format_volume: make_ext4fs failed on /dev/block/stl13" and maybe some "error mounting /data/"

As far as I know these 2 things always appear whenever I try to wipe "Data"

-> "dev/block/stl13"

&

-> "error mounting /data/"
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] a.cid:
If I'm not wrong /dev/block/stl13 refers to the system data partition...

In short, none of your partitions are getting mounted...

Have you flashed any stock rom with 4 package? Or any other one package ones recently?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] raizen101:
uh no I don't think so but I did try flashing some stock ROM's on Odin but they are all one package and that was a 2 months ago May I think and I flashed those stock ROM's after I got that problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] a.cid:
Use this method...

Just google around on how to setup adb...

Then in command prompt (pc), write adb shell

And then the codes given ^
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] raizen101:
Just to make sure does this vid.tutorial good enough? and LightAzurik said " format with your device in cwm recovery" can I do that in Amon-ra Recovery or do I have to go back to CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Feras.Rehman:
U can do it by amon ra too :)
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] raizen101:
ok so how do I actually enter the commands :confused:

This is what I do in the CMD...

C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>"command here"

But when I enter the commands given by LightAzurik this happens...

C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>mount /dev/block/stl12 /system

'mount' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

The same thing happens to the other commands he given.

Am I doing it right :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] a.cid:
You are doing this in command prompt?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] raizen101:
Uh yep am I wrong :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] LightAzurik:
Just type adb shell after the C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>, (this will comunicate the adb shell application with your devices for change, mount, or fix anything in it) and then type the mount procedure

For any question this is the procedure:

(If you have the android-sdk in other folder you can write in cmd "cd" (without quotes) and drag the folder in the saving location of the platform-tools, If no, you can put the command below:

C:\android-sdk\platform-tools> adb shell (with your devices connected to your computer on cwm or amon-ra)

When you put adb shell the aplication will begin and then you can put all the commands that i mention in the recent post

mount /dev/block/stl12 /system

mount /dev/block/stl13 /data

mount /dev/block/stl14 /cache

(Be sure to have the adb.exe and all the components in your platform-tools folder of the android sdk, if you dont have it, this will no work)

You can dowload the platform-tool with the sdk manager.exe as well and then, begin with this procedure

I hope that this can help you

Have a nice day :)
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] raizen101:
Thanks for the tutorial but when I do those command especially on "Data" and "Cache" this comes up..

/ # mount /dev/block/stl13 /data

mount /dev/block/stl13 /data

mount: mounting /dev/block/stl13 on /data failed: Invalid argument

/ # mount /dev/block/stl13 /cache

mount /dev/block/stl13 /cache

mount: mounting /dev/block/stl13 on /cache failed: Invalid argument

the "System" mount's fine though.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] LightAzurik:
forgiveme its

mount /dev/block/stl13 /data

mount /dev/block/stl14 /cache

this is that it looks when you do it

E:\My Documents\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb shell (this is my personal adress of the folder)

~ # mount /dev/block/stl12 /system

mount /dev/block/stl12 /system

~ # mount /dev/block/stl13 /data

mount /dev/block/stl13 /data

~ # mount /dev/block/stl14 /cache

mount /dev/block/stl14 /cache

which recovery you are using?

use cwm recovery for this, if dont work use then amon ra recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] raizen101:
lol that's ok and this is my last reply for today I need to go to sleep.

anyway this is my report..

/ # mount /dev/block/stl13 /data

mount /dev/block/stl13 /data

mount: mounting /dev/block/stl13 on /data failed: Invalid argument

/ # mount /dev/block/stl13 /cache

mount /dev/block/stl13 /cache

mount: mounting /dev/block/stl14 on /cache failed: Device or resource busy

That "Data" I wonder what's wrong with it? it won't mount, wipe or format?

And the "Cache" I don't if it is the one also causing my issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] raizen101:
I'm Using Amon-RA recovery right now, gonna try it on CWM hope it works..

Edit: I think it's the same as the Amon-Ra recovery here's the outcome...

C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

~ # mount /dev/block/stl12 /system

mount /dev/block/stl12 /system

~ # mount /dev/block/stl13 /data

mount /dev/block/stl13 /data

mount: mounting /dev/block/stl13 on /data failed: Invalid argument

~ # mount /dev/block/stl14 /cache

mount /dev/block/stl14 /cache

mount: mounting /dev/block/stl14 on /cache failed: Device or resource busy
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] LightAzurik:
Flash with odin the stock firmware of your samsung fit and then wipe data and cache with the stock recovery, then flash cwm recovery and do the same process
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] raizen101:
(sorry for the really late reply I was busy with something...) anyway...

It's still the same... the "Data" is saying "Invalid argument" but the "Cache" is fine though.

So I'm really guessing here is that the "Data" is really the one causing problem on my phone.

Phone was stuck at LG logo, so I thought my recovery was broken, okay... but when I tried to reboot normally the phone got stuck at LG logo again...

Fastboot mode and emergency mode work, but LG-f****** drivers don't work on my f**king HP PC and and laptop (XP on PC and Win7 on laptop)

So how the f*ck I make them work???? I am so pissed off right now, and I don't have any other PCs...

If you can just help me make the drivers work... they just install, but modem is not in device manager and phone won't get detected... Any other solutions from this forum or the one on the other forum with gt540 and p500 both, that doesn't work...

i flashed the original recovery (i was drunk :o)

and then something happened when i rebooted it got stuck on lg logo

similar things happened nothing recognized it but it went in emergency mode

so i just left it on lg logo for 30 mins , while trying to install new windows 7 so as to get a fresh windows and drivers

but after 30 mins it started

i dont know how that can happen, i prolly wont believe if it didnt happen to me

but trying it wont hurt much

also

you probably have tried it already

but most of times in PCs the USB ports on the front go bad very early

so try in the ports at the back

also u may want to try your laptop
