[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] longint2:
In the process of trying to flash a new firmware to a GIO I somehow managed not to be able to acess the recovery menu anymore. Right now the Phone is rooted, booting fine into stock ROM, download mode is working but no recovery menu. While trying to boot with power and home button it just shows the Samsong logo for ages.

I tried to flash a new recovery several times due to the fact that the stock recovery is only able to apply update.zip and not able to select any custom filename. So I installed su and a new recovery this way. After realizing that there is no recovery anymore I did it using ODIN and download mode. I tried several recovery images from cwm to stock, but everytime the same.

What did I miss?

How to do a dalvik/cache reset outide revovery menu and not doing a full hard reset?

Would a hard reset help?

TiA,

Guess their are commands to do it with ADB, phone can still go on so thats fine

Download adb

Connect phone to pc

Open command prompt , cmd.bat

Type

Adb

Su

Reboot recovery

Try if it works...

You can also flash recovery with ODIN, cwm v5 can be flashed with odin
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] longint2:
I did already

Flashed cwm-5.0.2.7-ext4+rfs-odin.tar.md5 using ODIN without problems, but as I said, no recovery menu available/accessible. BTW: Do I've todo anything after ODIN triggered the reboot? I just remove the phone and try to access recovery menu...

I do not have adb available at the moment, Sorry. Will try tommorow, but I guess this will not show something different!?

Thx!

Terminal emulator?

su
Reboot recovery

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] longint2:
OK; will try the Terminal emulation soon. But also when trying "Reboot to recovery" from inside ROM Manager it just hangs showing the SAMSUNG Logo. Did I flash the right recovery in terms of the ext4 thing?

TiA
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] longint2:
This results in a black screen and the phone not booting anymore (just showing the Samsung logo). I'm pretty sure the stock rom is booting again after flashing cwm again (had this before). Doing this now...

Any other ideas, tipps?

TiA
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] longint2:
OK, guys, time for new proposals. Whichever way I try to get into recovery it fails. Reflashing recovery brings the phone back, but how to go into recovery!? I even tried to boot recovery using my GS3 Toolkit with the same negative result just to prove there is no way to reach recovery.

Isn't there a need to flash cache and dalvik or something else after flashing recovery!? How?

TiA
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
Try flashing a full stock rom with odin, so everything is gone, kernel, su etc...

If still not, live with it or bring it to a service center
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] longint2:
OK, thx. If someone is having additional hints/ideas please let me know :-). Phone is still working but still no recovery...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] sinisterstuf:
exact same problem

I have the exact same problem as you. Same phone as you, phone rooted fine, tried installing CWM now can't get to recovery with the same symptoms as you. Holding Power+Home results in a hanging Samsung logo and no longer being able to boot at all. Removing the battery doesn't help. Reflashing allows me to boot normally but still not recovery mode (download mode accessible all the time). Rebooting from ROM manager usually results in "RAMDUMP mode arm9" instead of recovery (wtf).

Tried different CWM versions recommended for Gio, some older some newer, some with different filesystems.

Tried different methods for installing recoveries (from SD card in the original recovery mode the first time, and from ODIN)

Tried different methods of reaching recovery mode (key combination on boot, reboot from terminal, reboot from ROM manager).

Tried doing "firmware update" with (lol) Kies

Seriously no idea how to solve it, it's exactly the same as the problems in this thread. Advice from friends and these forums has so far not helped, but hopefully someone will discover an answer soon?

Things I don't think are related:

I have hardly any space left on the phone

My battery life has now been reduced to 2 hours average (woohoo!)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] wojtek267:
Have you tried installing stock rom via Odin? It installs stock recovery itself, and then you would be able to see what happens when you are trying to acces recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] pakistanish:
Very simple, it happened to me sometime ago. The problem was that my pc was blocking Odin to flash correctly, so I figured out the solution. The solution is to try flashing it from someone else's computer. Give it a try and tell me.

---------- Post added at 08:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 AM ----------

Follow step by step:

Make sure you do it from a PC on which you haven't already installed Samsung USB drivers or KIES.

1. Install Samsung usb drivers.

2. Open Odin and boot phone into downloading mode.

3. Browse Gio.ops and xxxxxxxx.tar file and start flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] sinisterstuf:
nope…

I doubt this is the problem because the first time I tried flashing CWM was not with Odin (I'm not a Windows user) but from the stock recovery as shown in the video tutorial on this forum. I think I'll try wojtek267's suggestions and reflash the stock rom when I get my USB cable back.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] sinisterstuf:
Bump?

Nobody able to help with this?

Am I in the wrong sub-forum or something?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
One more option you could try: the dd command. Provided you're rooted, copy the recovery.img file you want to flash over to your SD card.

then from a shell: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/bml9 bs=4096

Also, did you try using ddms or logcat while your phone was stuck at the Samsung logo? There might have been clues as to what the issue was.

Good luck,

Darkshado
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] sinisterstuf:
very nice try, still no cigarre

Hi thanks for the helpful advice! I tried that now. Backed up the current bml9 to sdcard with dd and then dd'd my recovery.img over it; it seemed successful. I restarted the phone to recovery mode and it just hangs at the Samsung logo like normal. This thread confirms that /dev/block/bml9 is indeed the recovery partition, however replacing it seems to have no effect.

I have never heard of ddms or logcat, what do they do and do you have download links?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] longint2:
I still have the same issue, thx for any advices.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3llboy911:
I just noticed a little wierd thing on the s3. When I have the headphones plugged in and I am not playing anything(no audio), everytime I hit one of the capacitive keys there's a hissing sound which lasts for 4-5 seconds. Can anyone confirm this? And why does the phone produce a "running fan" like noise when a capacitive key is used?

It's very annoying to use the phone with the headphones plugged in because of this noise. :mad:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceo.mtcl:
I remember I had this issue with my one x. Don't see this happening with galaxy s3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3llboy911:
How is it that only my s3 shows this behaviour? It's something you will notice when you are in a silent surrounding. I am still wondering what the capacitive keys have to do with this noise.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedscreen:
Its because the SIII is programmed to turn on your sound when a key is hit... this happens and goes away after a few seconds as aforementioned... I have this issue on my SII Epic Touch some times.

WiMaxed away from my Samsung® Galaxy™ SII Epic™ 4G Touch™ SPH-D710 running the CyanogenMod9™ Alpha 5-Pre1 with the MotoInspried Theme. (I'm a sucker for a MotoUI but like this phone better.)

Awaiting my upgrade for the Sprint® Samsung® Galaxy™ S III SPH-L710 because it's the SIII and it's on an unlimited data network.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] americasteam:
Sounds like it's interference caused by poor shielding. The Note suffered horribly from this. I was hoping Samsung had fixed this issue, but maybe they didn't. :( My AT&T One X is super quiet and has no interference at all. Hopefully the LTE variant of the S3 will be better.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brins0:
Each of the 4 HTC One Xs (International version) I had a couple of weeks ago had dreadful shielding issues (among many other problems) when plugged in for charging. I can't say I've seen the aforementioned interference on my S3 though.

h3llboy911, does this happen with all pairs of headphones you've tried, and does it get worse when it's plugged in to charge?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3llboy911:
Today I am trying the reproduce the noise but I can hardly hear anything. Yesterday while there was this noise, the phone was plugged in to charge and was quite hot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DexKenney:
Galaxy s3 hissing sound

I have exactly the same issue on my galaxy s3.

It is most noticeable in a silent room with headphones in. The hissing occurs even if you mute all sound and you touch a key, a widget, capacitive key etc.... You can even hear the hissing when you play music on low.

Is it a hardware problem or a software problem?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyrax83:
can confirm i've noticed this also
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fznwolf:
Confirmed with LTE version (i747) - Happens even in tinfoil with all radios off, guessing when this happens its tracking through the headphones.

With 80 ohm headphones its MUCH less noticeable.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZunRob:
Mine thoes this as well! I don't know whether this is normal, or a HW or SW problem...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZunRob:
You can even hear the same sound when not listening to any music and when you're earphones are UNplugged! Just push a capacitive button and listen to your speaker; exactly the same noise!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illumilore:
It seems to be caused whenever something accesses the audio. Going to settings>sound and unchecking touch sounds seems to reduce this happening for me.

I have tried tge stock browser, Dolphin browser and Opera but they all seem to be about the same. Flash must be enabked otherwise I would guess that I would have no play back at all. If i load the same pages ob my Note they play smooth and fine just the Tab that seems to struggle.

Thanks! I'll probably have another one up in a few days, so I'll let you know when I get it up.
[Android Themes] anthonycr:
I just put out updates for all the above themes, the major new feature being the addition of a themed wallpaper. There were some other bugs fixed.

If anyone is running these on their gnex and they get a compile error after updating to the latest version, please tell me. I'm not sure but I may have messed something up.

Also, I created a rainbow theme that I'll be posting later.

I don't know if I was breaking rules by posting paid themes without posting a link to a free download, because I saw another thread closed on a similar note, so I added the

Good to see you over here Anthony!
[Android Themes] anthonycr:
I figured I needed to broaden my horizons, AC wasn't enough. I've been looking through this forum lately to see if I couldn't find any of your stuff but haven't seen you post at all so its good to see you here too.

You really need to take my advice and make some CM themes. They'd be a hit and it wouldn't be too much work, I just helped a kid publish his first theme the other day so it can be done without too much headache.
[Android Themes] kcls:
Lol, I know. Right now I just wanna get my icons out the door, and finish up with my finals (1 more to go!), and then I'll start my work on a CM theme. I have some ideas for one, and with your help, I'm sure I'd be able to bang it out pretty quickly :D

Btw, do you have any experience compiling launcher themes? I'm trying to compile Apex, ADW, LauncherPro, and GoLauncher themes for my icons so I can release them to the market, and woring with eclipse is h*ll (Can you say that on the forums? lol). I have no idea how big to make the icons, and the second I change the package name it shoots out like 500 errors. All the guides I've tried to follow (Including the one to make an Apex theme here on XDA) are for people who know what they're doing. And that's not me :P
[Android Themes] anthonycr:
By "finals" I'm guessing you mean NYS regents, because I know my friends and my sister are taking them right now. Those were always annoying, although I always did awesome:p

Yeah, when you need help with cm themes just shoot me a PM and we can use gtalk or something. I've helped a few people already with them, and one of them just got their stuff on google play so I think I can help you get there;)

Unfortunately I don't have any experience with getting an icon theme to successfully compile, I have looked at it, but like you said, eclipse really sucks for those that are starting out (especially when you use windows). I haven't gotten a single theme to compile correctly with eclipse even though I've tried tons of times and I know the code works because it will compile with apktool. I decided I'll just build stuff with apktool because windows doesn't work well with any of the other tools. You can download my template cm9 code from DHoT if you want.

Aurora not playing nice with inverted Gmail

First off, your themes are great -- no serious griping here. Just a minor thing that I noticed while trying to use it:

As much as I like Aurora, I noticed that it doesn't work well with Inverted Gmail. I use Inverted Gapps to have a nice white-text-on-dark-background look throughout my phone, and when I switch to Aurora, most of those Inverted Apps still work fine, except for Gmail. Thing is, my inbox in Gmail becomes completely white and therefore unreadable. Once I open an email, it's okay, but the inbox list is not at all usable.

Just wondering: do I need to switch back to standard Gmail? Or is there something you can tweak with the theme to make Inverted Gmail look fine? I completely understand if there's nothing you can do on your end, but I wanted to check here first before I decide to either use a different theme, or just go back to stock rather than Inverted Gmail.

Thanks!
[Android Themes] anthonycr:
Yes you will need to revert back to a normal Gmail because my theme actually adds back the white background because of the way I made the theme. Its rather inefficient actually (makes the app bigger). Unless I fix it sometime, you'll need to switch back to a normal Gmail. Sorry bout that, and glad you like them.
[Android Themes] kcls:
I do indeed mean the regents, and I hate them. I'm just about to leave to take my geometry ones now, and then school will be officially finished!

Unfortunately, there's really no template for apktool, but I think I might just post over at DHoT for help. And I'll be sure to do that!
[Android Themes] anthonycr:
For the record, I got 100 on the geometry regents:cool: Good luck.

If you mean template for icon themes, then you are correct that there isn't an apktool template, but I know that Brotherswing is working on compiling an icon theme for Blackbearblanc over at DHoT, and he uses apktool, so I think he must have made a template. Check with him.
[Android Themes] anthonycr:
An update is now out for Afterburner and Aurora, small fixes for a couple bugs and significant decrease in app size (cut it down by 3 MB without losing any functionality). Also should mention that I changed the wallpaper in afterburner to the one in the Slate theme.

I plan to port them to cm10 but right now my device doesn't have cm10 working yet so it may be a while... keep in mind my phone only has a 600 MHz processor and 175 MB of internal storage so it was a lot of work to get ICS working right.
