[General Questions and Answers] S.Bartfast:
I've done a very silly thing and fear I may have bricked my phone :confused::confused::confused:

A little while ago my phone's USB connection kicked the bucket and in a rather foolish attempt to get rid of everything I re-formatted the lot and now have a completely non-functioning phone :(

I have a Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000) and had "ClockworkMod Revovery v2.5.1.3" installed with a "Voodoo Lagfix" when things started to go a little funky. Wanting to remove any trace of hackery before sending the phone back for warranty I booted into recovery mode and reformatted every partition I could, one after the other, only to discover that not only did this not remove the hacked boot-loader but it completely rendered my phone unusable! Now, without any image installed and not having a functioning USB connection I've been unable to flash a working ROM back again.

I do, however, still have a working ClockworkMod Recovery and have noted there is an option to "mount /sd-ext" and I am hoping there may be a way to sneak an image on to the phone through the external SD then use "choose zip from sdcard" to re image the phone. Anyone know if this is possible, and if so, would someone care to guide me through the process??

I came across this thread: Can I flash roms from external SD

Where the response was: "Yes, you can, just mount it from the CWM Recovery and you're set." which gives me hope but I'm not able to get there alone.

I have tried mounting the external SD card but get the message:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

(File exists)

Error mounting SDEXT:!​

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

(:
[General Questions and Answers] thanhhai8888:
You can copy rom on sd card, and flash in recovery mod
[General Questions and Answers] S.Bartfast:
Thanks for that, I'm just not quite sure how to do it.

As I said I'm not able to mount the external SD card at the moment and even then I'm not quite sure what to do. If I do manage to mount it will it then be possible to navigate to the extranal SD with the "install zip from sdcard"?

In the mean time I have come across this nice looking tutorial for flashing to ICS but it says "Copy the downloaded ROM to your phone’s internal SD card (not microSD card)" which for me, sadly, is not an option :,-(

By the way, I'm not particularly fussed wich version of Android I managed to flash, I just want to be able to use my phone again.
[General Questions and Answers] S.Bartfast:
Hmmm,

After more digging I've come to understand more about what I have done...

It would appear that what I did was foolishly reformat my system partition with out having another ROM to replace it - but it seems I may well have narrowly avoided formatting the boot partition.

Since doing this I have come across this extremely good advice:

Take extreme care with this option as formatting any of these partitions will result in losing all data on them, especially the boot and system partitions. Formatting the system partition will remove your ROM and leave your phone without an operating system while wiping the boot partition may brick your phone unless you restore or flash another one before rebooting your device.
​

If only I'd read that before:confused::confused::confused:

I've also come to realize the "sd-ext" is not the external SD card at all and is in fact a kind of "extra" partition used especially for flashing ROMs.

So my problem gets deeper...

Is there any possible way to flash a ROM onto a phone with a formatted system partition and no working USB connection?

If there is, I'd dearly like to know how. (: (: (:
[General Questions and Answers] Kerumen:
You can buy a micro usb card reader to transfer the ROM from your PC to your sd card then flashing it using CWM.
[General Questions and Answers] S.Bartfast:
Sorry to be so darft but I can't work out how to flash from the external SD.

- By external I mean the removable micro SD card which is actually inside the phone.

I have another phone with which I can put the image on to the micro SD card, I'm just not sure what to do with it once I have it there.

I must be missing something pretty obvious because several people have said "just use CWM to flash from the SD card" but to be honest I just can't work out how to do it :s

I can get the image onto the micro SD card fine, the problem is that once I have the micro SD card with the new image on it in my 'bricked' phone I can't find how to get access to it with CWM?
[General Questions and Answers] dreanmer:
if you can enter on cwm (home+vol up) you can flash all by your sd card, download a rom for your galaxy s, prefer for the official ones, put the zip on your sdcard, put your phone on cwm and select "install zip from external sd". i hope this help.

Idk if galaxy s have usb otg, but if have you can mount external usb in cwm.

and if you stay without understanding how to do it with cwm, go to galaxy s xda area:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=656

i hope you will find a good tutorial in there.

good luck
[General Questions and Answers] S.Bartfast:
Hmm, just read a comment some where randomly on the internet:

"Depend on your CWM version, v5 install from external SD card by default. But you can select install from internal SD card too."

Perhaps "install from external SD card" is not supported in my version of CWM (v2.5.1.3 on a Samsung Galaxy S).

Maybe I should go ask about it in the SGS specific section.
[General Questions and Answers] S.Bartfast:
Hehe, took the works right out of my mouth.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Thing O Doom:
You essentially NEED adb access to push a rom to internal, as your phone's CWM version doesn't support external-sd card. Can you get ahold of another working cable? This would be the best route.
[General Questions and Answers] S.Bartfast:
Thanks, I'm pretty certain it's the phones USB socket that is the problem though. It stopped responding to USB after a camping trip I went on and since then, even when it had a working ROM, I was unable to mount it as external storage. I have tried several cables and a couple of different computers and while it charges fine I was unable to get it to 'connect' as such. I have also checked the main cable I've been using with a different device and the cable worked as expected. When I started to get desperate I scrubbed it with a tooth brush and I even took the phone completely apart to sprayed the port with electrical contact cleaner but alas, it was to no avail.:(

I'm affraid i'm going to have to resolve this one sans USB :(
[General Questions and Answers] Kerumen:
Why don't you buy a new cable ? An USB cable is always useful for daily use..

Edit: Oops just realised I'd made the same post twice :o

Hi guys.

I have a problem finding good car charger for my phone while in car.

I either use sygic sat nav or Google maps but on top of that I stream music either via Google music or di.fm app.

Problem starts when I start streaming. My battery slowly drops down about 1% per 15min. I've tried various car chargers that have either 1amp, 2.1 amp and even dual 3.5amp they don't do the job. Only my HTC 1amp charger manages to hold the charge but it doesn't charge on top of that.

Any ideas and suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mendezj666:
I bought the car charger from Amazon HERE earlier this year and it has worked out awesome. I usually leave it in my car but also makes a great wall charger for when you need it in a pinch and didnt bring your own. Its 17 (I got free shipping since I have Amazon Prime) and well worth it since I dont think I ever have to buy another car charger again for any device I own. Even charges my tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RellikZephyr:
Genuine Motorola rapid car charger, simply the best. Charges like a wall charger, seriously, phone says it's plugged into AC power

No other charger I have used, has allowed to use Google navigation and still quickly charge my galaxy nexus

I use a 1A HTC charger and never had any issues. Are you sure your cigarette lighter is working properly? It sounds like all of these chargers you've tried are charging at less than 1A.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] T-Keith:
I think 1 amp is about all it will do. It will have a hard time keeping up if you are using it a lot. I have the htc car charger and it seems to keep up for me but actually getting a decent charge while using it will be hard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dg4prez:
not all 1a chargers actually charge at 1a. it depends on if the two middle pins are shorted together or not.

this charger is cheap as hell - 3 bucks - and charges at a full 1a. i use it and it works perfectly.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FrayAdjacent:
I noticed this too, using a Kensington USB charger in the car. On my drive out to Phoenix, I noticed that having Navigation running while plugged in caused the battery to drain.

I also noticed that running Torque sucks the battery down as well. I stopped at a gas station that had a ton of gadgets, so I bought another off-brand USB adapter that stated its output is 1.5A. I also picked up the OEM extended battery at a VZW store while out there. It doesn't drain as fast now, but it does still drain a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eiapoce:
Motorola

Absolutely go for the motorola charger. I use it everytime in car, it's a 1A charger, has a nice blue light and can charge your phone even when using navigation.

And on top of that it's also cheap. I bought it in boundle with a motorola wall charger @ 10€.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MTWiley:
Make shift cable.

If you're super cheap and/or like to DIY, I was able to get my Galaxy Nexus to recognize any USB charger as AC by cutting a USB extension cable in half. I then soldered/twisted the green and white wires within the USB cable together and then I soldered the red to red and black to black. By putting the modified USB extension in between the charger and a USB to Micro USB cable it will force the phone to recognize the charger as AC instead of USB. I sealed up my adapter with some White and Green heat-shrink tubing I had lying around so it would be easy to identify. Same thing can be done to a USB to Micro-USB cable if you want.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyfm:
Hello XDA former go'ers,

I would appreciate a few nods or shakes of the head before I consider proceeding with this...

I have a Galaxy S3 network locked to Three. (with their giant 3 logo appearing when I turn it on being a give away).

Can I just flash the BTU unlocked UK firmware to it via the ODIN software?

I assume you do not need to get the phone network unlocked first. (can do that later)

If anyone has links to the best stock firmware file available right now and the most up to date ODIN that would be appreciated too :)

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronak47:
Hi mate,

Yes you can flash the network branding free rom via odin (very easy to do)

You also don't need to be unlocked to do so... But keep in mind that flashing a non 3 rom wont unlock the phone and you will still have to do so to use on other networks.

If you need any further help with it then drop me a PM and I'll help you all the way.

[Sony Tablet S] Djimi365:
Hi all,

Ive noticed that after the ICS update Im having some issues with the sound on my Sony tablet, specifically relating to the headphones. Sometimes when I plug the headphones in while the device is locked, it does not recognize them and will still play sound out of the tablet speaker. Plugging them out and back in while the device is unlocked solves the problem. Also, if I plug the headphones out while the device is locked it does not seem to recognize that they are unplugged and I get no sound until I plug in and back out headphones.

Neither issue happens when I plug in/out headphones while the device is unlocked.

This was not a problem before the update. Has anyone seen anything similar happen and is there a solution to this problem?

Cheers.

So while we appreciate your efforts, this can be considered to be spam. I'm not saying it is, just that it is IMO one thread too many about the topic. Anyway soft modding is not prohibited, it's only when it is done without permission from the original devs and published that it becomes rom stealing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forocon:
Greetings,

I'm making a school project and I want to make a control pannel for the samsung galaxy S using the TRRS female jack. (It's the audio insert).

When I bought the phone I got something like this with it, but it only has 1 button, u can use it for play/pause or to aswer incomming calls. I want to make something like this with more buttons, for example next song, previous song, play/pause to control an app.

So basically what I want to know are the following things:

1. How does the TRRS work on the Samsung galaxy S?

Tip = Left Output

Ring = Right Output

Ring = eather Ground or Function?

Sleeve = eather Ground or Function?

Does anyone know which one it is. Than the next, how does the Galaxy S messure the input? I believe it uses a function with different resistors so the ground will have different values in Voltage, and a specifik voltage is a different function?

Does anyone know how this works? Maybe I got it al wrong.

2. So if we have an incomming signal by solving the problem of question 1, what does the phone do with the signal? Does it make an event of the input or something?

In other words, what does the Android system or the phone do with the incomming signal and how can I use it in my application?

I hope theres someone out there with answers, and I'm sorry if I'm not specifik enough, it's my first school year so I don't know alot about it yet and theres not alot information about this on the internet.

Thanks for you help and time!

Mitchell
