My phone is fixed. I have no idea how it became fixed, but it is fixed.

I placed b518 on the internal sd card, and installed it. Then bootloop. So I held both volume keys+power to try another rom. It installed again. Went to recovery, it did a factory reset. Bootloop. Went back to recovery to see if I could wipe the sd card. No option for it, so I did another factory reset and rebooted my phone. I left my phone bootlooping for a minute while I looked online for a Huawei service center, and then my phone booted. I gues it got scared and didn't want to go to a service center.

This been a great learning experience, although at times a major headaches. I want to thank blefish for all his help. Thanks to this, i've bee reading his blog and other stuff, and now will follow some of his other projects.

Now to downgrade back to 2.2!!!!

UPDATE: All official roms are working correctly (b136, b138, b518, b528), recovery (5.0.2.6) works. However I haven't been able to get a single custom rom to work. Tried a couple .32 MIUI and CM, but they all stick at the huawei logo. Did factory reset and dalvik wipe, get error can't mount /sd-ext during dalvik wipe, and still doesn't boot.

Maybe I need to try a newer verison of CWM? I tried the newer versions before, and I didn't like them. Buggy and often wouldn't find my sd card.

Easiest way is to change the "skin" in Settings -> Personalize. "Serene" will give you reddish orange checks and indicators. (But at the cost of a muddier, lower contrast environment than the default HTC skin.

[HTC EVO 3D] G.Newton:
I'm sure people are trying to help you but.. we don't understand what the hell you're talking about?

-Do you mean SENSE ICS DRAIN PROBLEM?

-Wtf do you mean by "100-200"? Numbers without units are useless most of the time.

-You did not tell us if you were GSM or CDMA so we cannot direct you towards ICS ROMs with known good battery life.
[HTC EVO 3D] thrassh:
Sorry for this chaotic post, i typed the text in my phone web browser, it changed the title of the thread...

Its a gsm EVO 3d.

Whit 100-200 i mean mA, before ics it was 5-10 mA
[HTC EVO 3D] G.Newton:
I'm not a GSM phone owner, sorry. But now that you've clarified some more, I'm sure others will help you. Another suggestion is to list ROM/kernel combos you have used so others don't recommend ones that you're getting the drain on.
[HTC EVO 3D] ronilzizou:
Check whether or not an app is causing the battery drain by preventing youre phone from sleeping. Think "better battery stats" Or "Battery stats" (cant remember exactly) on the market lets you see what app is running in the background and preventing your phone from sleeping.
[HTC EVO 3D] saboxerman:
Not on GSM either, however, sometimes battery drain issues are caused by wake locks or rogue apps, regardless of the carrier. That would be a handset problem. I've heard purchasing better battery stats from the market is a VERY useful tool in figuring out what is draining your battery. Once you narrow it down, then you'll have better success in finding a solution.

[HTC EVO 3D] androidboy123:
Hi.

Maybe try to wipe ur battery stats through custom recovery. First charge ur battery to full and wipe the battery stats and let it drain until ur phone turns off by itself. Do this 3-4 times. It will help to increase ur battery life.

From the picture u posted, i think ur phone can go to deep sleep mode. So dont worry. Maybe try to disable certain features like auto sync, gps and all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] garypix:
I don't know if this has been posted or discussed before. But here it goes:

One of the biggest things that bug me in ICS is the inability to sync Facebook contacts (using AOSP/AOKP/CM9/MIUI,etc).

While I've found a workaround, but I've never been able to find/create a flashable CWM file.

Well, I stumbled upon this today and tried it on both my Galaxy Nexus as well as my Galaxy Note with both CM9 and AOKP ROMS -- And it works.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] garypix:
Thanks! It does indeed work on the Note as well as the GNex.

I was able to do it via a complex method I found after some searching, but was never able to streamline it into a CWM process.

On a side note, I've heard that Facebook sync breaks Picasa sync, is that true? It doesn't really matter to me, as I don't use Picasa..

Great job nonetheless!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ngenhit:
This method shouldn't break picasa sync. Because it doesn't change any field that is already there. But the Fix done by Romann in AOKP Build#7 was hardcoded into framework-res , and that might have broken it.

One side effect : you have to flash this again if you wipe your device/ contacts storage. And you should flash only after 1 boot after wipe. :-)

Hi all,

I am trying to put cyanogenmod 9 on my Samsung Galaxy Gio. Following these instructions found here

Download: px-CWM-v2.zip

Place it on root of your sdcard

reboot to recovery mode

install this cwm from recovery

results in me not being able to boot into recovery (

after

following the above instructions). The phone said that the installation was successful.

When I try to boot into recovery all I get is a black screen with the Samsung logo on it. If I try to turn it off it just goes into a boot loop. So I am unable to continue with the next part of the installation process.

If I remove the battery and put it back in then power on normally, the phone boots and runs normally.

Current OS: Froyo 2.2.1 XXKB9 (Baseband XKB8).

Model: GT-S5660

Rooted: Yes (used SuperOneClick).

Can anyone tell me what has happened and how I can fix it?

Thanks for your time.

[General Questions and Answers] Bidski:
Just an update.

I can still get into download mode (hold vol -, home, and power button simultaneously until yellow "downloading..." appears on screen) and I can also get into emergengy downloand mode (hold vol -, vol +, home, and power button simultaneously until sansumg logo and "Emergency Dload" appear on the screen).

But I still cannot access recovery mode (hold home and power simultaneously).

Using Odin (version 4.42 I believe) and the download mode I can re-flash the original stock ROM and this allows recovery mode to work again as normal. However, attempting the steps that I mentioned in my first post lead to the same result.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I have been trying to unlock my bootloader with s1tool with no luck... it always seems like everything has gone right... but I still can't get into fastboot...

SO... I recently updated my flashtool to 0.8.4.0 and noticed there was an "unlock bootloader" plugin... So I clicked on it and received the following outoput:

05/037/2012 21:37:04 - INFO - Your phone is already unlocked. Canceling task

SO... from this I would take it that flashtool is detecting that my bootloader is already unlocked... this is probably because of the testpoint unlock I did with s1tool... great... i guess... but it's totally worthless because my phone won't go into fastboot... I have tried selecting to restart into fastboot with the regular restart options on my phone... I have tried using XCharge to restart into fastboot... I have tried using flashtool's restart into fastboot using ADB... and of course... I tried just holding the search button and plugging my usb cable in with my phone turned off... NOTHING WORKS...

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience unlocking the bootloader with the new flashtool... I was considering using s1tool to relock the bootloader... or whatever you wanna call it... since it doesn't seem to be unlocked anyways... but hopefully that will get flashtool to detect it as locked... and maybe flashtool will be able to unlock it??? or is that not possible???
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBoard:
Update...

OK... so I went ahead and relocked my bootloader using s1tool... went back into flashtool 0.8.5.0 (updated to the latest version since my last post)...

05/021/2012 23:21:21 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode

A dialog popped up telling me how to get into fastboot mode... but my device refused to do it... as usual...

So it went from saying that my bootloader was ROOTED to NOT ROOTABLE...

Something I haven't tried doing... is typing *#*#7378423#*#* on my phone after doing a testpoint bootloader unlock with s1tool and see what it says under Rooting Status...

I guess I will try that... but I don't think it will help me get into fastboot mode...
