[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
Both ways are correct. But yes, installing stock JB firmware first is better. The other way is just a "shortcut". You can follow whichever way you prefer. Just keep a backup of all your important data.

Hello. Please ask your question here: http://xdaforums.com/desire-601/help

Because this is a Q&A thread for Galaxy S Advance users only, no one here can help you solve your problem. If the ROM you installed has a XDA thread, then ask there or else just make a new thread in your phone's Q&A section and someone will assist you.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
As I said earlier, you CAN follow any 1 out of the 2 ways. Because both ways are correct.

In order to switch from KitKat to Sami OS, you'll have to wipe (format) everything using TWRP or CWM. Then flash a flashable zip file of CoCore E kernel. Then again reboot to Recovery and flash Sami OS.

If you fall into a bootloop, reboot to recovery and wipe your cache, dalvik cache and data again. And if that doesn't work, format everything and install stock JB firmware using Odin.

Need Help!

I am experiencing a very weird problem. Every time I restart my phone, it reboots again upon completing the previous boot. It does this 2-4 times and then becomes okay.

The thing that confuses me the most is that upon every reboot, 58 files in the bin folder (in system partition) gets 'deleted' (their size becomes 0 byte). Although my phone works normally, restoring these files removes root access :eek:

And if I install (Shaaan's) root.zip then it automatically restarts and after that my phone loses root access again. My phone seems to work normally despite the fact that some really important system files and those 58 files in the bin folder are missing.

I really don't know what to do and logcats aren't helping me either..

Hi

I got a very lame stock version on my Galaxy GT-I9070, it's I9070XXLQE

The core version is 3.0.31-1122938

se.infra@sep-116#2

build: JZO54K.I9070XXLQE

How can I tell if it's Jellybean or not ? (so I'll if this root for example is ok)

which rom&root would you recommend me ? im looking for a light and quick ROM

TIA
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
Well, I9070XXLQE is one of the Jellybean firmwares for the Galaxy S Advance. If this is what your phone's About Device menu looks like then that double confirms the fact that your phone is running Jellybean.

The fastest and also the safest way to root your phone would be by installing the root.zip file from the link you shared on your post. Before switching to a new ROM (either stock or AOSP based) give CoCore E kernel a try. It helps increase your phone's performance and also helps increase your phone's battery life. In my opinion, you should try the r09 build of this kernel - that's what I'm using right now.

More info about your I9070XXLQE firmware can be found here

Thanks for replying!

Since my phone is operating normally, I have decided to keep using it and see if something bad happens or not. If it happens, I will backup all my data and do a factory reset.

One more thing. Today I opened some of those files (with 0 byte size) as an archive using my ROM's file explorer, and saw that their size is unaltered (i.e not 0 bytes). So I think those files were somehow relocated or got hidden. That might be the reason why my phone is working normally. I really don't understand what's wrong or what caused this.

There are several causes: (might be wrong)

Disable fs journaling

made unclean shutdown (pulling batt while running)

hardware failures (it is possible for a 2+ yrs phone? )

kernel errors

Anyway, can you try booting to recovery and run fsck via adb (umount system first)

Thank you so much!

Why do you prefer the older "CoCore-E-Refresh-r09_CWM" over the r20?

I rooted my phone, downloaded the MD5 file from CoCore-E-Refresh-r20-TWRP.zip file(also downloaded the r09), placed it in my phone, Installed the "Universal Kernel Flasher",When I try to install a new image and navigate to the file, the Tool doesn't show it at all, tried it with both the r09 and the r20 :(

BTW, will the kernel flashing will erase any data from my phone?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
You're welcome. :)

I haven't tried r20 build yet but in my opinion, older builds like the r09 and e10 are slightly better in keeping a balance between battery consumption and performance - when compared to the recent ones like r16 and r19.

Since I don't install kernels using the UKF (Universal Kernel Flasher) app, I can't really help you with that. Sorry.

I install kernels by extracting kernel.bin.md5, placing it in my phone's internal memory (sdcard0) and typing in:

su
dd if=/sdcard/kernel.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15
reboot

in Terminal Emulator (look for it in Google Play). If you choose to install it this way, then be sure to type "mmcblk0p15" correctly.

Its good if you're used to using CWM recovery. TWRP is also a recovery and in my opinion, its a bit more user friendly.

And no, flashing a kernel will not alter or erase any of your personal data. Unless you flash a kernel made for a different phone, which will most likely brick your phone and therefore render it useless :p
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gyro01:
OK, problem solved, the file explorer was a the problem,I just installed the r20, I wanna install the TWRP r09, can I do it even though I just installed the r20(and rebooted of course)?

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
(you're welcome)

Yes of course! You can change kernels as many times as you want. You can now simply reboot to CWM (recovery) and install the zip file (CoCore-E-Refresh-r09_TWRP.zip) or use UKF to install r09 build.

I used this guide to backup my phone before i Rommed it

When I tried to restore my contact list via App Extractor I got a message saying that I just may need to reboot the device in order to complete the process, after a reboot the contact list is still EMPTY

So I installed Nandroid manager root,and actually were able to EXPLORE all my backed contacts, so it's all safe, however the app doesn't have the actual restoration feature..

Any help how I may restore the contacts? maybe even switch to other rom?

BTW,the backed up data is in a folder named "TWRP"( maybe the problem has something to do with kernel, So maybe switching other kernel would fix that?)

*edit* just insalled this kernel "CoCore-E-Refresh-r09_CWM",(via Universal kernel flasher) after the reboot the phone is stuck on the black opening screen "Samsung Galaxy S Advanced GT-I9090", however I can get to recovery mode.. What do to?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
Unfortunately switching to another kernel won't help restore your contacts/call logs.

I haven't used Nandroid Manager for a very long time, but I think it actually does have the ability to restore data.

Give Titanium Backup Pro a try. It has a clunky UI but it gets the job done. Go to main menu, scroll down and select "Extract from Nandroid backup".. Since you made a TWRP backup of your Data, it should give you the option to restore either all of them or just the ones you want to restore.

For backing up contacts, I usually export it to SD card. And so as long as I am using a ROM that is based on stock firmware, I can easily import it later. You can also sync all your contacts with Google.

The 2 apps I use for data backup and restore, are Helium and Titanium Backup Pro. You should always backup all your important data (and test whether it perfectly restores them or not) before installing a new ROM. There are plenty of ROMs for you to try. You can start by trying out ROMs that are based on Samsung's Jellybean firmwares like Sami OS (my ROM), HarshJelly, LightJB, etc. Just look for them in here

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
Hmm.. That wasn't supposed to happen. Does it boot straight to recovery mode after "Samsung Galaxy..." logo? Are you sure that you didn't do anything else that might be responsible for this?

If you have any other kernels' zip files in your phone's internal/external storage then reboot to recovery and install it.

Otherwise, you'll have to copy it from your computer to your phone and then do what I said above.

If everything else fails, then I'm afraid you have to boot to Download mode and flash Jellybean firmware using Odin.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
It is the default kernel that comes with CM11 for our Galaxy S Advance. Don't worry, you don't have to use a custom kernel because this kernel comes with almost all the tweaks and improvements (and much more) that CoCore E (for stock firmware based ROMs) offers.

And there isn't really a lot of custom kernels for AOSP based ROMs for our phone. I think the only one here is MK kernel. Since I never tried it, I can't tell if it works or not. So I think it'll be better to use the default one - at least for now.

Hello [MENTION=5012012]Jtfk[/MENTION], thank you very much for replying!

Here's my last_ksmg.

- I have enabled journaling in system partition but it didn't seem to help. Although, it is still disabled in the cache partition.

- It can't be because of the kernel because I've been using the same one for a very long time...

There's one more thing I noticed, upon every reboot a file named "log" in the bin folder always gets modified/replaced with its physical size being 0 byte. But if I try to open it as an archive using my ROM"s default file explorer app, the app then copies log to a temporary location, and in there it shows the file's size as 102 KB.

The proc folder/partition is kind of a mess, there are a bunch of folders containing some of the files that are already in bin folder (in system partition) with 0 bytes.

Can you please check these 4 init.d View attachment 3245926 and tell me whether they have something to do with this problem of mine?

I'll run fsck on my system partition sometime later and then inform you what happens. Thanks for all your help :good:
