I hard bricked my 4.0 Intl by flashing the wrong bootloader (stupid, I know). I have downloaded the recovery ROM and the correct PIT file and I can get into download mode by using the resurrector. But when I try to flash the recovery ROM, I get the following error in Heimdall:

ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!

KERNEL upload failed!

Ending session...

Is there any way to fix this or should I just send it back to Samsung?

There is also a thread that has all the facts, incl. tips for flashing and recovery options for these players in the DEV section. Please read.

Chances are, if you can still get into Download mode, you should be able to get the player back to normal. The trick is to flash the right PIT, kernel and rom...

BTW... I don't think Samsung likes people messing with firmwares and send them back for warranty repair when they fail. I believe that the fact you flashed custom firmware and bricked it in the process, the factory warranty is now voided. You can maybe play dumb but... your results may vary.

I moved some apps to ROM memory with Apps2Rom and everything worked fine.

But after some update it seems that I cannot use some of these apps. Unfortunately I also cannot delete them. But I will have to delete them for reinstalling. Any idea what went wrong?

How can I move apps back to the normal memory?
[HTC ChaCha] lrfrog:
The latest update of Apps2ROM allows you to remove system application.

To do so, click on the app's icon and then the remove button.

Sadly all application does not agree to work correctly in system partition.

After making sure to watch the intro video (and being quite amused at the truth of the matter), I have done my best to search the various threads for information on upgrading my G2 (rooted, running froyo) to gingerbread.

I have learned the following -

This will tell me if I have s-off (which I do):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26276528&postcount=3

G2 drivers for ADB are a real PITA, as it cannot just be a driver... no~ I have to install a freaking sync package from HTC, which requires several other packages to be installed -_-

Other information that may be useful:

[gsm.version.baseband]: [12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M]

[ro.build.description]: [1.22.531.8 CL277427 release-keys]

# uname -r

uname -r

2.6.32.17-g9ab3677

So near as I can tell, I have S-Off, and a froyo version that wants to upgrade to Gingerbread. Now for the question(s):

1. With CWM, is it possible to install the Gingerbread update?

2. If not, do I need to install a different bootloader, and will that enable me to not only install the gingerbread update, but also retain root?

I would like to retain my current phone experience (applications, call log, sms/mms history, etc etc), and to that end have used Titanium and sms backup. If there is a better/more complete backup solution for the phone, I am open to suggestions :)

Many thanks, and if I am missing something glaringly obvious, I can only hope my post (and responses) can assist someone else who is missing what I am as well. :p

Think the easyiest way to have an rooted Gingerbread Rom is flashing one from the rom thread index...do you want to have sense?

[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
first of all i suggest leaving cwm, just preference and having said this youll be able to flash a new rom just fine with this. cant answer your bootloader question as you never posted which one you have. i highly doubt you do.

first step - titanium backup, back up all. yes sms backup + works great

now boot into recovery and choose nandroid backup (always do this before flashing a new rom, radio, spl etc.)

after this is done wipe everything you can, then flash a superwipe script (youll find them easily with the search button)

now flash your rom - the guide linked before has nearly every rom made in the last year or more for the g2/dz (sometime will need to flash gapps, kerenel, mods etc over rom - just look at op to see if this is required)

now reboot

congratulations gingerbread user!
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
If you're already rooted to Froyo then you're already at a good start. I too prefer the 4EXT Recovery option versus the ClockworkMod (though either will work for the purpose).

You simply would need to backup what settings you can, reboot into recovery, turn on USB Mass Storage copy over something like say CyanogenMod 7.2.0 for Vision/G2/Desire-Z (though may want to partition/format your SD card if needed prior to copying files over to it, and backing up what you copied to it), turn off USB storage (so recovery can access card).

Make sure you do a factory reset, cache wipe, dalvik wipe, battery stat wipe etc, then flash the new ROM (and the google apps zip file if needed as well), then reboot.

That'd be one way of going about it, in the sense of say CyanogenMod 7 (gingerbread).

Other roms should be just as easy just make sure they work for your radio/etc (CM7, CM9, EliteMod for example has worked for my G2 both on the older and newer .19 radio).

The main thing to remember is if you're going to be flashing a new rom especially to a completely different android version you will want to wipe everything on the phone so you don't accidentally 'mix' old and new files on the phone causing a lot of problems.

PS: I don't know of it's just windows or what, but on my mac I've never had a problem with adb being a PITA I just simply unpack the SDK into a folder, run an app to download more support and then from the command line I can simply type adb and the likes. Though you technically don't *need* adb if you already have a rooted phone since you can install either ClockworkMod or 4EXT Recovery via the app found in the marketplace since those apps have a recovery installer, and then course once you reboot into recovery you can just turn on USB toggle to copy over the files you need after you've configured your SD card.
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
can't say on the fat battery but I didn't like mine on the g1 and imagine it to be cumbersom on the g2 as well. but elitemod ics is one of only two ics roms id recommend for the vision the other be mimicry. that said go with elitemod cm7, everything works without a glitch fully customizable, all the features and amazing battery life. but again you should try a few and pick for yourself

clockwork is you custom recovery, 4ext is another custom recovery option for a few devices. the app you refer to is avalible at the market and can make things easier for beginers down the line and is similar to rom manager. I highly recommend 4ext. you can get the recovery free but supporting the devs is more than a good idea

your hboot is your bootloader is your spl (secondary program loader) the terms are somewhat interchangeable. this is like bios on your windows, sorta. it starts up your software and can be used to flash ota relases. a great help if you loose recovery. also alows for functions such as fastboot

Rooting requires "CF-root" <-- which is a kernel so you can't possibly root your phone without changing stock kernel.

All you can do is root your phone and flash OFFICIAL stock firmware afterwards

You haven't mentioned what firmware your phone is running. GB or ICS. Give the version number.

Next, is your bootloader unlocked?

And thirdly, have you read any of the guides out here? There are already a few threads on rooting your phone.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OverLo4d:
if you are on .42 than you can try zergrush:)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
Which fw are you on? .42? .62?

I suggest you download the Generic Global World .42 fw for the LT15 from this thread here.

Flash it with Flashtool. (You'll find it in the Development section. It's a stickied thread). (Turn on USB Debugging before that).

Use Gingerbreak to root your phone. It's an .apk file. You just need to install it from your phone. Just make sure you're allowed to install non-Market apps.

And that's it, you're rooted. Update Over-The-Air to the .62 build.

If you're feeling up to it, I suggest you unlock your bootloader (if you're not carrier-branded) through the Sony website. If you unlock your bootloader, you will void your warranty!!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OverLo4d:
i don't think you can root 2.3.4 with gingerbreak, only 2.3.3 and earlier.

zergrush will work well:)

Sup guys is it possible to turn my fone into a WiFi adapter so I can connect to my home internet connection via pc my wifi adapter broke yesterday when I shut the door on it :( :D
[HTC One X] Deleted member 2496007:
Yes it is.

Menu> Settings> More> Portable hotspot & tethering

Here you can either choose to set your phone up as a WiFi hotspot so your PC can connect wirelessly to your phone and use it’s 3G for internet connection.

Or you can use USB tethering to achieve the same internet connection but using a cable instead of WiFi. Personally I’ve had more success with this one, as I have found the WiFi Hotspot function to be very hit-and-miss.

You may find that after prolonged inactivity on the connection, it stops working and you have to stop and then re-start USB tethering for it to work. Keep the data flowing though and it seems to work just fine. Obviously take into account your 3G data plan. If you are on a unlimited plan then you are laughing.

Don’t shut your phone in a door!

Reasons for using v2.58 of Go Launcher Ex:

1) Many Go Launcher Ex fans are unhappy with the new v3.0.0 look of Go Launcher Ex.

2) Also v3.0.0. and later are laggy, even without live wallpaper, with LWP its even more laggy, as they say in the market comments.

3) Also Newer Go Launcher versions don't use ICS transitions of your ROM.

4) TRUE Wallpaper modes: Scrolling and Vertical mode, TRUE because they change the cropper in Gallery into Landscape Cropper or Portrait Cropper accordingly. [/SIZE]So No need of Wallpaper Wizardii.

Uses ICS transitions (if you have them on your ROM)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nvltur:
Good day guys!

I know this topic (of duel and triple booting) have been handled from a couple of different angles already but I am struggling to find any relating specifically to my issue I am having.

I started with an Acerone (that had 'good' ol' 1.6 preloaded with windows) and reformatted and repartitioned. Windows 7 Pro is installed and running fine. I then installed ICS and that also works great.

Unfortunately I've come across much needed apps that had not been developed to work in ICS or Android-x86 yet so I needed Honeycomb. I've been using 7 and ICS together for a while so I've done quite a bit on it. I then tried following the similar installation procedure for honeycomb (dont install grub, etc) and for some reason I could not get the grub (legacy) from ICS to open the Honeycomb install. I tried all the usual (editing menu.lst using ex2explorer within windows etc etc with all the right hd,xx values etc) but it just kept telling me that it could not find the files.

I thought it may be due to that sda not being mounted at the time grub comes up (which also didnt make too much sense since nowhere did I see it mount the Windows partition but yet I can boot to windows quite fine). So I ended up reinstalling Honeycomb with its own grub (which as you can expect done away with the ICS one). So Honeycomb works great with Windows - but again the same predicament (if not slightly worse since the honeycomb is fresh install and now I cant access my ICS which is wel run in with apps etc).

I can see all the partitions from within windows with the ext2 mounter and both the partitions with droid on have grub folders. I've tried setting different partitions active etc but to no avail. I've even now tried loading GAG bootloader and added the OS's, pointing them to the right partitions, but only the Windows one works from within gag.

My next step (since almost ALL the forums with posts regarding triple boots relates to having android, windows and ubuntu) is to install ubuntu and use ITS grub to control everything. Seems like a simpler way out, but quadruple boot? I've been called indecisive before but this is pushing it! lol.

So basically - either if someone can direct as to whats going wrong and why I can add the entry into the grub legacy's but when I select it, it says files not found.....OR how I can get GAG to successfully access those OS's.

Your site has been a really GREAT help...these my search tems in google include "xda-developers"...:D
