Well you did an amazing thing.

You flashed a gingerbread kernel on a ics rom. That will never bootup.

Download on pc k3 the ics kernel and stick it on your externalbsd card and flash that in recovery. Then all will be fine.

You need the zip one for that
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwert2099:
Okay! Thankz 4 info but anyway I managed to do wat I actually intended to do.

After getting trapped in boot loop, I flashed stock Ics kernel using pc odin & then rooted with same dr ketan's method. Finally flashed speedmod kernel yes this time k3 one using mobile odin. . .everything seem to work fine now.

Just for a note while i was flashing stock kernel using stock kernel, it dint work some yellow '!' came up on screen saying connect to kies n blah blah!! I simply tried same procedure again n it got flashed.

P.S. Happy flashing :thumbup:

Quick question and answer time.

I looked at Motorola's site at the new ICS videos.. and the webtop 3.0 video shows the Droid RAZR, yes I know, different phone, but I saw where the video user plugged in an HDMI cable and the prompt came up for webtop and it was accessible. Without a dock. Now my question is do you think that the A2 will be able to access webtop 3.0 with HDMI without mods?

Thanks!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boca_r:
Dear Fellows,

After a bad upgrade in a SGS I9000b, my phone does not recognize your own imei (bad efs).

I had made a backup of my EFS using only RootExplorer, and now I can´t change files permissions.

My system uses /dev/block/stl3 to mount /efs

I cannot change /efs (not have permissions to change when its mounted and if I umount folder, changes aren´t saved).

I need a solution to make a new stl3 using my efs backup to be used on ODIN.

It is possible to build a new efs using my data (imei number, bluetooth mac, etc,etc) of Samsung Galaxy I9000b?

Thanks for any help.
[Motorola Droid X2] mombof:
I couldn't post this in the development forum because I haven't met the required posting rule yet.

I have question about the orientation sensor in CM7 beta2. I tried it a month or so ago, just before vzw 2.3.5 OTA came out. The orientation sensor was flipped east west in skymaps and compass. Just like it was in the vzw 2.3.4 OTA.

Apparently the vzw 2.3.5 OTA fixed the orientation sensor. So I sbf'd and flashed the 2.3.5 OTA.

If I sbf and flash cm7 beta 2 again will the orientation sensor still work or will it be back to east/west flipped.

TIA
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
In order to flash Cyanogenmod 7.2 RC1 for the X2 you need to be on 2.3.4, so no.
[Motorola Droid X2] coolpoete:
ignore - already answered
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
I believe you'll have the API from 2.3.4. I don't see why going up to 2.3.5, then back down to 2.3.4, should leave the 2.3.5 API.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Shadwhawk:
I managed to break the screen on my TMO Galaxy S2 last night. It doesn't display anything or register touch. Kies detects the phone but it won't access it because of the lock screen...which I can't unlock.

I've tried going into Recovery Mode, but I'm having trouble finding blind navigation guides for it. The one I found on the forum (for a different S2 model) instructs:

-> Get into recovery mode

-5x down

-enter

-2x up

-enter

Doesn't seem to work. It's for CWM, which I don't believe is installed any more (I was rooted at one point but something glitched and my phone started rebooting constantly, so I unrooted and flashed back to stock). I updated to ICS via Kies about a week ago.

The phone appears as an Unspecified device named SGH-T989 in Windows' device list when I'm in Recovery Mode. In normal mode, it appears with two drive letters, but I can't access either (presumably because I can't get it into USB mode).

Is there a way to bypass the lock screen and access my phone in Kies, or can someone else with a stock phone walk me through the recovery mode menu to mount the internal SD card?

Edited--Nevermind. A friend pointed me to ADB, and after reading a bit, I was able to use 'adb pull /sdcard/ backup' and get all my data while it's connected to USB, right through the lockscreen that stops kies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XfrostX:
Hey, I'm running (CDMA) CM 9 (6-18 build winner00) and Franco . Kernel nightly #194 with the 512mhz GPU. This morning I unplugged my phone and let it sit for a little and ended up with this: (attached)

Any idea? I checked BetterBatteryStats and I don't have any noticeable wake locks either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
I'm kind of confused what I'm looking at but what I think you mean is that you never touched your phone for an hour, yet your screen was on for 30 minutes? I guess something was keeping your screen on without any user input. Have you checked Settings --> Display --> sleep set to (30 seconds or whatever you want) of inactivity? Perhaps it is a misbehaving app that is causing your screen to stay on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XfrostX:
Oh my bad, should have clarified. With those stats and screen time, I don't know how I can already be at 82% :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Actually... that's quite average if not just a tiny bit below average. A battery usually doesn't charge all the way to 100%, it tops off at around 95-98%, so you went down 13-16% with over half an hour of screen time and approximately an hour of normal time. 4+ hours screen time is actually considered good, which is the track that you are on (13%/30 minutes). Standby will drastically save you battery as well... which can translate to 15+ hours and 3+ hours of screen time (depends on the user). Also to take into account, the first 10-20% of the battery drains faster than the rest of it as well.
[HTC One S] Zolor23:
No, not the Miami Heat :P

I'm consistently getting my phone over 105 degrees while doing the simplest tasks. Light gaming like Scramble/Words with Friends, and Draw Something with Twitter and Chrome Beta. It might be because of this heat that I lose 10 percent of battery in 10-20 minutes.

I got the phone, and rooted it. Then, I flashed the nandroid of the OTA 1.84 and the newest radio. I flashed TrickDroid and I've tried flashing my old 1.53 pre-OTA nandroid, but no luck. Still hot.

Is my phone's battery just bad? Should I exchange it?

EDIT : Where can I find the old radio? I have the newer radio, but I'm back on 1.53, so I want to match them.
[HTC One S] eminembdg:
Same thing here but remember, when your screen is on for few or several minutes its going to heat up.

You can test it by turning screen off for few minutes, it'll cool down

HTC One S running Zydroid!
[HTC One S] Zolor23:
Are you sure? I don't think phones should reach 105 consistently from using it for 5 minutes. But, anyways, what about your battery life?
[HTC One S] mattmann95:
I would get a replacement battery. My phone will heat up but not to that extent and that is only when I'm outside or when I have a lot of multitasking going on. I am rooted too with the s4 tmobile one s. I would definitely check into getting a new battery. :good:
[HTC One S] Zolor23:
Not replacable battery. Should I exchange the phone?
[HTC One S] eminembdg:
I'm just saying from experience. My phone got hot as hell the other night while just browsing these forums for like 7 minutes. I got concerned and checked running processes.

Nothing weird was running. Locked my phone and in just a few minutes it was cool.

My battery is fine. Running Zydroid with the kernel it comes with and use cpu editor script that's built in. I have it on " on demand" and battery saver mode

HTC One S running Zydroid!
[HTC One S] Zolor23:
The only reason I think it's weird is because my batter life is atrocious.
[HTC One S] eminembdg:
Are you on a custom rom? When you go into settings - power - battery use, do you see any apps consuming a lot of battery?

HTC One S running Zydroid!
[HTC One S] Zolor23:
I was on TrickDroid, but it sucks even on my old nandroid. The power is mostly drained by the screen.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Rooted stock...only gets noticeably hot while charging
[HTC One S] eminembdg:
Maybe try a total wipe and new download and flash of zydroid because I've tried several other roms and zydroid is by far the best for me. Bad flashes and bad downloads happen.

HTC One S running Zydroid!
[HTC One S] Zolor23:
Wipe as in factory reset in recovery? I've tried that.

Do you know where the old radio can be found?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] titanshadow:
I have almost everything how I want it now... However there are some things that are still niggling at me about how the Nook operates. I fell in love with CM7 and the ability to completely disable the lock screen.

I can't find a way to do this on the rooted stock rom that I am using. There are a few apps, but while they turn it off for a little while they don't keep it turned off and it randomly enables itself again.

Does anyone know a solution - note I am alright with modifying APK files somewhat if that is required, I don't know where to start though and certainly would rather have a software solution that I didn't need to modify APK files for.
[Galaxy S III General] akarol:
I read the T-Mobile GS3 review and noticed that each carrier yielded different results. Sprints GS3 seems to be at the lower end of the list. Why is that? A rent the hardware all the same for each carrier in the US?

Different carriers, different radios, different voltage requirements, etc etc. not to mention the networks themselves are so massively different...
[Galaxy S III General] incubus26jc:
You will notice that most of the results are pretty consistent with the exception of quadrant. That is because quadrant gives different results even when ran on the same phone over and over. Take quadrant results with a grain of salt.

Good Day to all,

I would like to know how to upgrade my Wildfire S from CM7 to CM9.

I have link2SD with quiet lot of app, and "of course" I forgot to backup my stock unbranded ROM before to pass to CM7 ( yessss I know.... Shame on me !! )

Hello Hussy,

By "Pass to CM9" I mind change.

But thanks for your help.
[HTC Wildfire S] AceRoom:
Gingerbread and ICS are fairly different so you can't retain the data directly. Titanium backup is your best option. Just backup the user apps. Don't try to backup and restore the system apps and data. Also get some app to backup and restore your sms.

Your contacts are synced with Google right?

Once you do all these things, go to CWM, factory reset and clear dalvik cache. Flash ICS zip and gapps for ICS. Boot. Sync with you google account and restore from TB.

And as always, do a nandroid before hand.
[HTC Wildfire S] yannmrt:
Hello AceRoom,

Yes I have Google for my contacts.

Thanks for this very nice explanation.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] froot loop:
There's a similar thread but it's not under the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III group, so forgive me if I'm cross-posting.

I'm a giant idiot and attempted to "enable" wifi tethering by adding a line to build.prop. Without taking a nandroid backup first. I know, I know...

Well, now it boots to the a black screen after showing 'Galaxy S III'. I rebooted into CWM, downloaded the build.prop, backed out the changes that I made, pushed it back up, tried rebooting, but still the black screen.

I assume the only solution to my woes at this point is to do a full nandroid restore back to original.

Is there anyone out there that can help me obtain that, or have any other suggestions about what I could do to get around this black screen?

Thanks so very very much for your help... I'm obviously going a little crazy right now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] froot loop:
I would still love to have an answer to my original question (always good to have a stock nandroid around), but just wanted to follow up to say that ES File Explorer had taken a back-up of my build.prop file automatically, and totally saved my rear end. Thank god for you developers out there working to save me from myself! :victory:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] teh roxxorz:
Anytime you mess with the system, best to do a full restore of a rom or backup. And THAT'S why I use es file explorer.
[HTC Sensation] match417:
I haven't done anything to the sensation like I have to my other phones. I have had a couple HD2's and did everything I could to those with very minimal problems, and now my Sensation that I have had for about 6 months decided to just die. I never S-off'd it even though I thought about it a lot, and I never tried to put a new ROM on it. I can't get it to turn on and I don't see a reset pinhole button under the battery cover. I wish I had let go of the stock ROM now. Is there a way I can reverse this?

problem solved..lol..the USB cable that I always charged it with apparently doesn't work anymore. I swapped cables and it works fine. Glad it was simple!
[HTC Sensation] g1user101:
Faulty battery?
[HTC Sensation] match417:
hmm..update..

I took the battery cover off and cleaned the little connections (not sure if that even did anything). After this I plugged it into the wall and after about 30 seconds the orange charge light started blinking slowly. I just woke up about 2 hours ago and the phone was plugged in all night I believe, unless somehow the usb charger cable wasn't plugged in all the way and it died overnight (battery was low last night)
[HTC Sensation] g1user101:
Must be something wrong with your battery
[HTC Sensation] match417:
so now instead of charging it just blinks orange sometimes and I've had it plugged in for an hour. The battery has been fine until now if it is a faulty battery. It will last nearly all day and not even be down to half. I don't leave the data wifi and GPS on, I only turn them on when I need them, so the battery lasts a long time. Basically why I said this is I easy on the battery, and I don't overload it and pull too much from it.
[HTC Sensation] wicked.igor:
i dont believe ur battery is faulty....its ur charger.

For battery to run(to be charged)it needs 3.3 to 3.6 volts to even start charging,ur battery is to low with volts and charger cant charge.

There are many solutions for this,some are good and some are crazy but both will do the trick.

1.find another battery to turn ur device,tick in settings fast boot,put ur battery in and connect to charger,wait a little bit and it will charge.

2.This one is crazy:)....find a charger for a car battery,put in on 6 volts,the red one is + and the blue or black is -,look on the battery of ur device where is + and -,connect it shortly,about 5 sec,put the battery back in ur device and it will charge.

3.Buy another charger that has 550 to 700 mah,it will charge.

4.Sorry for my bad english:)
[HTC Sensation] match417:
thanks for the reply, but I have already explored the faulty charger possibility. I've tried using the computer usb port to charge it too to no avail. It blinks the same way whether I'm charging it via computer usb or wall usb charger. Thanks for offering the help though!
[HTC Sensation] match417:
I must commend you sir for making me think it was a charging problem again so I would look back into it. I swapped out the

usb cable

that I was using and it started charging. When I had originally checked to see if it would charge on the computer instead of the charger I used the same USB cable to charge it..I just plugged it in with a different cable and it works fine now! so thanks bro! It seems 90% of the time it's something simple.

[Galaxy S III General] dbzgod:
This is a great root method because if you are wanting to root one of the NorthAmerica/Japanese variants (waiting to get my NA S III to test, as long as the superuser files are not specificly built for the international model and are fine on any, doesn't appear like they are) and not the international one as it is unknown weather or not ChainFire's Triangle away will work on those models, so any way to root that wont increase the counter on a phone that currently can't have the counter reset is excellent in my book.

This thread is good for people that want to know HOW and WHY rooting works they way it does, so if you are not interested in it, go use your one-click tools. They are fine, don't need work and so on, but it's always good to know how to do it the manual way.
