:p

Ok new Noobish question.. If I flash LQ4 from Odin.. will I lose any Data? I know I will lose Root.. but will I lose my Games (highscore), Apps, Memos, messages....
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
LOL, didn't you already take factory reset? If that is correct you already lost all that.

And if you do not do factory reset, that things will be there. But with it that bad password too...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razvan:
Definitely i will not install the custom ROM signed Sami Kabir! :):):)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
Huh? I did factory reset but I did not lose anything... I only got back the system apps which I deleted earlier... like Google+, Chat On... and my question was - if I flash LQ4 over LPY, will I lose anything other then Root access?

Lol, its upto you... I actually don't want anyone to try my ROM.. I just want to know how to make one.. and if everything goes well I will let anyone to use it.. if they want :D :p
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
Then you didn't do factory reset. :p

And how do you see what you have if you can't unlock phone???

You do not lose installed apps, settings, contacts etc when you flash firmware with Odin, and not do factory reset. You lose it if you do factory reset.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
Y U NO UNDERSTAND!!!

I mistyped my phone's password and I couldn't acess it... I went to CWM and did a Factory Reset... after that my phone didn't boot at all - it only rebooted to CWM... so I went to download mode and flashed LPY using Odin.. After that I got a bootloop.. I did Factory Reset again and wiped cache... after I did Factory Reset from "Settings".. rooted my phone and flashed CoCore E 3.9 to get back CWM... now I'm restoring my CWM backup which I made before.... and you say that I didn't Factory Reset? :p

My question was and still is... if i flash LQ4 using ODIN.. will I lose anything?? I know I will lose root and apps.. will the apps or games' highscore also get erased??
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
You never mentoned that you have CWM backup. :) You will not lose anything if you flash fw and not doing factory reset, like I said in last post. But I edited, so you might not see that. :)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
Oh man,, today is really unlucky for me....!!

That CWM backup I restored was a very old one... I change my password everyday and I don't know this password too!! Plus I dont have anyother CWM backup too... I should do all this things from first again!! :crying:

Hmm.. can I do this instead.. can I Directly go to Download Mode and Flash LQ4 using Odin...

As you said..

will this work even if I flash different firmware? as my phone is now running LPY.. will it work if I flash LQ4?

Ok.. Finally I'm running LQ4 with CoCore E 3.9.. (thanks again to shut_down, again)

The first time when I installed LQ4, the UI was lagging a bit but after a Factory Reset, Misc Tweaks and Switching to CoCore - things are pretty smooth now.. I still didn't try any games though but I have some other "bugs" on this LQ4...

1. First one is the Phone app.. after dialing anyone's number and talking with him/her.. when I end the call, it will automatically send me back to the dialing screen right? Here's where my problem is.. All the numbers on the Dialing screen will be Jumbled and Distorted.. sometimes the numbers will be out of the box or the screen itself.. :eek: I tried clearing cache and data from Applications Menu (from Settings) but it doesn't help either..

2. Second one is Google Now.. although my System Language and Voice is set to English US.. Google Now's voice is Male.. instead of Female... I like the Female one :p

i9070P XXLF1

Hello,

I recently got my i9070p with XXLF1 firmware. I was trying to root it, because i can't use it until I unlock it, but unfortunately I wasn't successful. I haven't found even one post about XXLF1 firmware, so I was hoping if someone could help me.

I tried choosing XXLD3 in Odin, no luck.

I hope someone could help me out. That would mean a lot to me.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
More about that no luck with XXLD3. You didn't get root or no boot? XXLF1 is probably updated GB firmware, so thats why no anything about it here. Lot of people moved to Russian JB version.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scinnox:
I was trying to root it, but Odin reported that it was unsuccessful. First part when you put under PDA rootkernel.tar.md5 I hget a message "All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)", then when I put under PDA xxld3.tar.md5, I get a message "All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 1)". Is there a way to move to Russian JB?

You can boot right? Install Terminal emulator and use that DD command from the thread. This kernel.bin.md5 is not format for Odin, you unpack it 2 times, you should only once for Odin.

Yes, I can boot and use my phone.

I can't use DD, because my phone isn't rooted yet "but your phone needs to be rooted so you can perform this!"

Instal superuser from playstore. You should get root with that rootkernel. You need to flash other just because of system stability.

SuperSU was not working good on GB, as I remember. Use SuperUser.

It gives you root control. And you need it to get root, beside this rooting method you did.

Ok, that might not working. So download you firmware from sammobile. Unpack it, remove md5 extension, open it with winrar or 7-zip and send me kernel.bin.md5. I will make you Odin flashable.

No Frill CPU you change governors and IO shedulers. Governers are used to control how CPU are used. I prefer PegasusQ+SIO, and for more battery perhaps Hotplug if it is in CoCoreP.

SuperUser let you control root permissions, you need it to give apps root access.

Triangle away is for reseting binary counter.
