upgrading to ICM or JB

Has anyone upgraded to ICM or JB on these phones (prism/summit)? I am thinking about doing so but I would like some feedback and help before I do so. I am running cyanogen mod now on my prism. Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linkisaboss77:
I personally have not. I have seen a few cyanogenmod 9 (ics) Roms for these phones but none seem to have the camera working:/ So just be aware of that before you try! Lucky ics 4.04 might be a good place to start, same people that did the Rom you're running now just search for it here on xda
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
I did Lucky's ICS on the Prism but that left NO room for apps. The Summit is better for that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linkisaboss77:
Ah I see, didn't think about that. My bad!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big_Green:
Thanks for the info gents. I definitely dont wanna do it if it takes space. I am struggling with that now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
Yeah - this 7.2 makes the Prism usable!

problem apps

I'm going to give this a try later. I'm mainly interesting in clearing the t-mobile bloatware, but I saw above that some guy bricked his phone by deleting the wrong stuff. If you're still reading, what app caused the problem?

Does anyone know which apps which should never be moved, even when using something like elixir?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
person was manually moving apps. Don't. guaranteed kill. On the Prism I used Aaron's Android Assistant(18 features) to move apps to SD card and had no problems. ymmv! There are other apps. It won't offer you many as many cannot be moved. As with anything on your phone I am not responsible if it bricks or whatever, blah, blah.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob857:
Cool, two more questions: after rooting, do I need an external charger just to charge the battery?

And after rooting, does the camera not work anymore? I just saw someone mention that above, unless I misinterpreted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
1 I use an external battery charger available on fleabay that plugs into 110v. I do not charge the battery while it's in the phone.

2 the problem with the camera was with ICS roms I believe. in any case, afaik, my prism camera works with the CGM7.2 GB ROM
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linkisaboss77:
Ya it was ics Roms only, sorry for the confusion! If it is misleading lemme know and I will fix that.

Huawei Summit is black after rooting and flashing Cyanogen mod

I followed all the steps but now the phone boots up (I have the Huawei Summit) and I get the Huawei logo and then the cyanogen mod logo and then the screen goes blank. I went into recovery mode and wiped the cache partition and rebooted and still cannot get the phone to work.

Please help - at a minimum want to get the phone working.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linkisaboss77:
Sorry to hear that! Just to clarify, did you wipe the cache before or after you flashed cyanogenmod?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rajs44:
after flashing and rebooting when I got the black screen and read in of the posts to clear the cache - should i try to clear the dalvik cache in advanced?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
First time it takes a few minutes with the cyanogen logo.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rajs44:
It did take a few minutes with the Cyanogen logo the first time but the screen is blank - i have to take out the battery to power it off and when it comes back on - same thing - goes to Huwaei logo - cyanogen logo and then black screen
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
did you root it? (by booting to recovery and then running update).

if you've already done this put /host7.org/p1/update.zip on your SD card instead and go to recov and run that. I thought they were the same.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linkisaboss77:
I will be honest that's a little beyond my knowledge, not sure:/ I would probably try doing a factory reset in recovery, clear the cache again, and try flashing the Rom again? Obviously I take no responsibility for any damage done...if that doesn't work, did you at least make a backup of the stock Rom I'm assuming?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rajs44:
Yup - followed directions in post #10 - on a Win 7 machine - found the driver and rooted the phone first - then took a backup before flashing 7.2 mod (and the 3 patches) and then rebooted. Then when I got the black screen - went back into recovery mode and wiped cache partition and restarted phone. Still black screen. Any thing else I need to wipe? Will I be able to recover from backup and retry the flash?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
I updated post 141 above while you were sending this - try the other update.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linkisaboss77:
So you did do a factory reset before flashing the 7.2 Rom? And yes in theory you should be able to recover and try again, I did a recovery of a backup from the stock Rom just to check and it worked for me...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
try that first and report back -

how long did you let it sit on black screen?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linkisaboss77:
Ya, listen to Kris he's more knowledgeable, I'll jump in if I can help tho. S'all yours Kris
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
Hey, appreciate your jumping in! I'm looking at not rooted and I had changed that link to update as I examined it and thought it was the same as mine, but maybe not! So redo that. And next try will be to reflash 7.2 and 3 fixes. And after that to restore backup and pray.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rajs44:
Thank you both for jumping in - really appreciate it. Since I am a noob - wanted to clarify what to do next - should I try the update first ( on the mod'ed phone) and then reflash? Or recover and then update and then reflash?

How so I get something on the sd card in recovery mode?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
On phone as is:

remove SD card and copy update.zip to it (it should replace the one already there).

Then put SD card back in.

Then boot to recovery and run update.

If you did not apply all 3 zip's apply them.

Then try to boot to 7.2 and let it set for 3 min.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rajs44:
coopinm was

Ok - copied the update.zip from http://host7.org/p1/update.zip and applied that in recovery mode - then rebooted and still nothing. Did not apply the 3 patches as I am sure I did that earlier. Should I re-flash all 4 zips to be sure?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
Long time no hear - if you're having trouble with that, just

in recovery:

factory clear

flash the 7.2 zip

flash the 3 fix zips

reboot
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rajs44:
Got it - reapplied the zips and rebooted and I am back in business - thank you so much again.

How do I get google play installed or is it there and I am not seeing it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linkisaboss77:
Awesome, make sure to thank Kris! Google play starts as the Android market, open and it should update: )
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
google play should be there as "market" if you're sure you ran the gapps zip. reboot a time or 2 and it should be there. if not, reflash gapps zip
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rajs44:
Thanks again - it is there -just need wi-fi access I think to make that work.

Great instructions!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
WiFi will do it. To use data from your carrier you have to specify an APN.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rajs44:
I don't know what the APN is and I don't have a data plan with this phone - only using over wi-fi. Do you know how to enable wi-fi calling and swype features on the mod'ed phone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob857:
Ok cool. Keep us updated if you find some kind of workaround for this, I'm not keen on getting an external charger.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
1 APN for data plan is at settings / wireless and networks / Mobile networks / access point names . I don't think you need one to just make calls.

2 I've never done wifi calling. I think you have to have a data plan.

3 Swype - I download "TouchPal keyboard and activate it in settings / language and keyboard settings.

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

No one is actually dev-ing this. It is what it is. Sorry.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linkisaboss77:
Wi-Fi calling has to be supported by the kernel(part of the rom) I believe, there's no way to get it with the 7.2 rom:/

The only way you night be able to keep Wi-Fi calling and google play would be to flash the stock rom of the T-Mobile prism, but nobody's tried this so DON'T TRY!!!! So yes probably sol there, but just to clarify you don't need a data plan for Wi-Fi calling:)

The phone will still charge in recovery on the summit as far as I can tell... you just have to reboot it once recovery comes up! Not sure if this is the same as the prism, I'm assuming it is tho?

Finally, I will second the TouchPal keyboard using it myself:) but if you'd still rather get Swype, it's still in the Beta stage. Go to this link and sign up, the website should guide you through the process: http://www.swype.com/category/get-swype/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
wifi calling: when I was on tmo $30mo plan, I believe I tried it and found that my calling minutes were reduced by the same 10 min of the call. (tmo was advertising it as free at the time and had to correct that to "free with contract").

I expect Skype would work fine over wifi but I forget what I tried.

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

Speaking of backups and stock roms - ""THEORETICALLY"" - massive quotes, you could restore the backup you made on the way in. However I am not at all sure that the 5.0.2.0 recovery backup actually works. I remember one time I tried it on some phone and it didn't - just gets stuck half way through.

The only ROM I could expect to work is the 7.2 of this thread. You should expect any other rom to brick it - that way if it does, you're not surprised.

This 7.2 ROM is nice in that it makes the Prism usable as it gets rid of tmo junk and frees up a little space for other stuff.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linkisaboss77:
Oh my bad, yes that is true it uses your minutes. I just meant you don't have to pay an additional fee to use the feature.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
I have no idea what it does on a tmo MVNO, or if it works at all...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob857:
What do you think Kris?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
about what - not sure what you need to know...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linkisaboss77:
I believe he wants to know on the prism if the battery is dead, if the phone will still charge? Jim Bob? Sorry guys , I feel like I'm causing more confusion then I am helping at this point lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob857:
Yeah, basically.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
You mean a battery with 0 or a battery with 1%?

I have no idea what happens when the phone is off and you plug in the charger and it boots to recovery. Watch it and see... I didn't try because it left the screen on and I don't like to leave screens on for hours.

Summit directions.

Hi all;

sorry for the seriously newbie question...

I have a Huawei summit, and this is my first Smartphone.

I've looked at this thread including the instructions on post#10, and I'm a bit confused.

What rom is the best one to install?

Can anyone post an updated directions on how to do this for a newbie trying to flash the Summit?

Thank you all!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linkisaboss77:
What questions do you have exactly? I was in the exact same position so I will so what I can to help:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aydensdad:
ok so i have done all thi

On the Huawei U8651T tmo Prism, from power off,

volup+poweron held for at least 12 secs brings you to the recovery screen

voldn+poweron held for at least 15 secs is the fastboot screen (white with tmobile on it)(it just sits there).

Credit goes to "crazypig" whose site is no longer working.

THE PROCEDURE:

0) (make sure you've backed up anything on the phone in case something goes wrong.)

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE. YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

1) a)Download CWRecovery (U8651.zip)(bottom of this post) and expand it. This will be used to install the Clockworkmod Recovery image.

b)Download update.zip, but do not expand it - this goes on your SD card.

c)If you want, download CyanoGen's rooted 7.2 rom http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1708205 (there are 4 zip files: 7.2 stable, LED, audio, and gapps). They go on your SD card.

2) Put your phone in USB Debug mode: settings -> applications -> Development -> check USB Debugging .

3) The driver:

From power off, start the phone into fastboot mode (voldn+poweron for 15 sec)(white screen with t-mobile) (U8651S:fast boot screen is just the Huawei logo for the Summit) then plug your phone to your computer via the USB charging cable.

Nothing will happen on the phone, but you'll probably hear that chime indicating a device has been plugged.

Open Win7 Device Manager and look for an android device with a flag.

It is looking for a driver called something like "android sooner single...etc" .

Make sure your windows update is set to allow search on the internet for drivers.

Then double click that yellow flagged item, pick update driver, pick search internet, and off it goes and will find your driver.

For U8651S use this:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linkisaboss77:
Does the computer recognize the phone if it is turned on normally? For example if you plug in the phone while it is turned on and usb debugging is enabled, you should get some sort of notification telling you it is connected in debugging mode. Does this come up?

If not, do you have another usb port to try? Just to rule out issues with the usb port

So, I've searched this thread and can find a couple of references to failure but no definitive answer if anyone got it to work yet. But, I just flashed my girl's phone following instructions from #10, and when I try to go to Home Screen >> Menu Button >> Settings >> CyanogenMOD Settings it force crashes every time. Everything else seems to work fine. She's fine with leaving it how it is, but I have it working on my LG Optimus, and I'd like to get into the status bar tweaks if possible.

I assume a wipe and reinstall is needed if it is possible to work, but I know she'd rather not deal with me messing with her phone again. So, before I do try that, can anyone confirm they have been able to get into the CyanogenMOD settings screen, where status bar tweaks, performance (overclocking), etc are?

Thanks!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] CmdCNTR:
I have just yesterday purchased the Droid Razr 16GB on Verizon. I previously had an old samsung caliber with a 16GB micro SD. I wanted to use it for my music in my Razr so I installed the card and it claimed the SD was damaged. I then formatted the card with the phone and the error seemed to be resolved. I took out the card and copied music from my PC. When attempting to view the music in the stock player only a dozen artists showed out of about thirty. I have performed several routine actions to try to fix this including:

-Full FAT32 format in PC (not quick)

-Clearing Google Play Music App's data

-Clearing Media Storage data

-Powering off phone, removing/ reinstalling SD card, restarting phone

-Installing winamp, verizon's My Music app. (this always resulted in each app displaying the same dozen tracks the other apps)

-Unmount/ remount SD

-Change file types (though this seems to be unbiased. Mp3's or m4a's have both failed to play independently)

Some important info:

...The music in question was copied off of my stock, rooted wifi -only Xoom running 4.0.3 so it shouldn't be a problem. I also added music off of my external HDD which has not shown up.

...Each time the phone re-scanned the external SD for music only a dozen or so artists would show HOWEVER it was always different artists. (Ex. first scan: AWOL, Baroness, Led Zeppelin, etc. second scan: Cold War Kids, Kid Cudi, Passenger, etc.)

...Occasionally after unmounting the SD or rebooting the phone it would claim it was damaged again. A reboot would fix this.

...The Razr is a stock, non-rooted, fresh out of the box 2.3.6 Android phone.

I have run out of ideas short of cutting down the music and putting it on the internal. My only thought is that the SD card may be bad but it was working fine yesterday before I got the Razr. Any help would be appreciated.

New Symptom: It seems that the player is throwing the music into the LOST.DIR file on the SD card, so it reads them as corrupt and trashes them. Will investigate further.

SOLVED! Looks like there were two issues. The SD card had a bad sector which I fixed with the basic windows scanner. This fixed the songs moving to the LOST Directory. Also even though the tagging info was correct in windows, it wasn't correct on the razr. To fix this, I got the iTag app from the Play Store. It showed all unknown pieces of tagging info and allowed me to edit them. Now all music is on the SD card and there are no unknown artists!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
You've tried Poweramp? With this you can manage your music by Folders. The Stock player uses the MP3 Tags. I have an huge DnB Collection, but not every Record has an Tag. So Stock Player doesn't order them right.

Gesendet von meinem XT910 mit Tapatalk 2
[Motorola Droid RAZR] b.o.n.s:
I use Mp3tag to tag al my music folders :)

included with folder icons! love it!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CmdCNTR:
The songs are all tagged. I'm a meticulous librarian when it comes to my music.

Update: Woke up this morning and had to reboot the phone due to a common sound issue. I then checked the music player and all of the artists where there! So I connected the phone via usb to my computer and, wouldn't you know it? Damaged SD card again (again fixed by reboot). It seems to me that this may be a separate issue.

Possible solutions? Bad SD card? Maybe it just takes a long time to scan the card? I'm going to buy a new card today. I'll let you know the results. In the mean time, music is going on the internal SD. We'll see if that works

Galaxy S3 - Should i root my phone just yet?

Is it easy to hide the traces of rooting on an S3 if i have to return the phone under warranty?

I had a original Galaxy S

Had a "WIFI glitch" that could not be sorted without a master reset :mad::mad: googled and found this great forum :)

so I rooted it, to do:

One click lag fix

Titanium backup

Add Free android

What i didn't realise at the time was it invalidates the warranty. cool because i had had the phone a few months.

I have a new Galaxy S3 (yey)

I would like to instal Titanium Backup Add Free Android etc.

is it wise to wait a few weeks/ months before i dive in to rooting, just to see that the phone is working?

Is it easy to hide the traces of rooting on an S3 if i have to return the phone under warranty?

Any advice experience welcome

Look at the development section. Chainfire has released cf-root for example to riot with. It's easy to hide traces. Just download triangle away from development section. Run it when rooted and the flash counter drops to zero as well as the warning triangle that indicatea root and customising disappears. The syatem also states itself as samsung original. Now when need of return just flash your original firmware downloaded from sammobile.com back and return phone. The flash meter is still zero as firmware is samsung official

the root instructions look straight forward

unrooting and covering tracks instructions looks a little trickier :)

Do Samsung just check:

I can imagine they look to any reason not to honour warranty. saying that ....I had some sammy HDD that got replaced under warranty no questions asked because they were 'pinging'.
