[Motorola Droid RAZR] snobunny:
So I tried to upgrade to ICS this morning from GB and it got stuck during reboot on the "droid" screen. Tried updating from the cache and no luck Tried a factory reset per Motorola's instruction and nothing. So I found this thread and tried it. I'm stuck on 1.6, part one. It goes through and has a few failures (can't find files/logo or files/cdrom), but continues and finishes the utility. Now it's stuck on the first Motorola screen. I've tried 1.6 several times as the help thread suggested and I still get the same result. Any help with this would be amazing, otherwise I can send it to motorola under warranty....or insurance, depends on how ticked I get at it and go through about 10 phones before I finally get one that works. I would really like to make this one work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RynoD:
Just sbf back to stock gb
[Motorola Droid RAZR] snobunny:
I'm pretty much a tech idiot....how?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Linux215:
If the ics recovery was flashed while you where trying to go to ics you can't go back to GB you are stuck with ICS

Try flashing again using matts utility 1.8.1 ( newest one) http://crackflasher.com/dev/mattlgroff/XT912.Verizon.en.US/DroidRAZRUtility/DroidRazrUtility1.81.zip
[Motorola Droid RAZR] snobunny:
I have no idea what any of that means, but I will try it :) Thanks!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] acidsoul47:
couldnt fine 1.6

Couldnt find a working link for matts util 1.6, so I used 1.7 for all of it and it worked fine. thanks!
[Milestone 2 General] giacomo90:
hi all,

I've lost my efs folder after i tried to install MS2G 4.0. Now i cannot use the phone to call or surfing the web. I haven't a backup of this folder, I have only 2 nandroid backup.

Anyone can help me??

sorry for my English!
[Milestone 2 General] giacomo90:
Help me, pleaseeeeeee!!!!!
[Milestone 2 General] JoseBerga:
Try to change the baseband of you country using milestone2toolbox.apk.. search on google..

if that not work, try to flash your Operator Firmware using RSD Lite..

btw wheres is the efs folder?

Sorry for my english :D
[Milestone 2 General] siakgayyem:
go to the link and follow the procedure in case you cant see the characters in chinese, choose the option with 8068 at the end and click the option on your left. your pbone will reboot. follow the nect procedure about installing the baseband and choose 2.2.2 also click on the option on you left restart and everything should work. good luck.
[Nokia Lumia 800] lohiaprateek:
1) goto seidea[dot]com and start off by downloading the Nokia Care Suit and Data Package Manager.

2) After installation of both also install the WinUSB driver from C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Drivers or C:\Program Files(x86)\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Drivers

3) Connect your phone with the Nokia Support Tool for Store open, this programme will have a launcher in the main Nokia Care Suite, and should have detected your phone, disconnect cable, this might restart your phone, this is normal.

4) Next fire up the Data Package Manager and search for RM-801 in product type, this will return a bunch of different variations of the firmware. Lookup the RM-801 Everything Everywhere GB rom which has the Product Code as 059Q201 and SW Version 1750.0805.8773.12220

5) After download fire up the Nokia Support Tool for Store, change it to offline mode at bottom right, or simply disconnect from the Internet,from the file menu, select Open Product and select product RM-801

6) From the bottom left pane, select Programming and then Recovery and select the new firmware you just finished downloading.

7) Flashing should take 5-7 minutes and leave the phone un-attended. Voila

Again I take no responsibility for any dammage to your phone, and you may download and flash any firmware from the entire list under RM-801 should not be a problem.

Additionally you may also want to take a backup from WP7 Easy Backup, google it or search the forums for it.

Also if you are stuck in airplane mode, goto settings>about>reset your phone. it will reset your phone and switch off the airplane mode

[Nokia Lumia 800] tewmgd:
Hello,

Thanks for this post, really helpful.

I have two questions:

1) is it an update or is it going to reset my phone (i.e. erased apps and data)?

2) at step 6 I have a problem: when I press start in the recovery Window, it displays for a few minutes a "check mode" status and after I got a window with instructions (pluging the usb cable while pressing the up volume button) but it's not working ?!

Matthieu
[Nokia Lumia 800] lohiaprateek:
It will clean everything, its not an update but a flash with fresh firmware technically.

Has your phone been detected by the Nokia Support Tool for Store as in Step 3?? and have you done the File->Open Product>rm-801 ??
[Nokia Lumia 800] tewmgd:
Yes, everything is working as mentioned in your post until the flashing step where it seems that my device is not in the "right" mode.
[Nokia Lumia 800] lohiaprateek:
My phone kicked into the required mode automatically, did not have to do anything, there is a mode by which u press the vol up and power button and connect the cable, the phone vibrates and is detected by the computer
[Nokia Lumia 800] shawchyn:
Am I right that this ROM is for all the UnBranded and SIM Unlock Lumia 800?

So, Lumia 800 from Singapore/Malaysia shouldn't have problem to flash this ROM?
[Nokia Lumia 800] lohiaprateek:
If factory unlocked, this rom should not have a problem, because I am in India and I downloaded the same ROM and it worked, it might bootup in airplane mode, goto settings about and reset the phone, it will reset with the airplane mode off..

For all those naija boys and girls rocking Samsung galaxy s3

I just got my first s3 update..baseband version changes from XXLE8 to XXLF2...I just hope Samsung continue to speedily update their devices on time....
[Galaxy S III General] standog100:
*Guys I felt the phone was buttery smooth, but on certain occasions I.e. lock screen ripple transition into opening your home screen and toggling between messages in the messaging app, the transition would s stutter just a tiny bit. Problem is solved if you go into:1. Settings-> developer options-> and Window animation scale and Transition Animation scale -> change both of those to .5xThe phone now runs like the beast it was born to be. Try it and let make know your thoughts. Regards, Nik

On a recent trip to Nigeria I noticed quite a few Galaxy Notes in circulation, and some tech aware contacts I met had various Android handsets in addition to the almost mandatory BB phones. How's the uptake of the S3?
[Galaxy S III General] standog100:
The s3 is causing alot of stir...yes it's true that bb is really strong here but the galaxy note is becoming really popular here and with the introduction of s3 I think Samsung have got a game changer in its hands

I'm waiting for my 5million dollars from your ex-king's wife's brother's friend's butler.

BTW someone almost screwed me over on ebay with email address from UK account and female name but the shipping address from nigeria. he/she Bought my LG O3D within minutes of posting and told me she'll buy any ohter phones i had. So i sent pictures of iP4 to him/her and she/he said they'll take that and to send the invoice. After i added all the things in invoice, she/he emailed me saying payment done to my paypal account. I then got an email similar to confirmation from paypal/ebay. But sine i'm not stupid i rechecked the email address from where the pay/ebay emails came from and those were from some weird webmail site. I forwarded those to pay/ebay and they confirmed phishing / scam emails. Then i complained on ebay and blocked the fker.

Hope there are more good people there than the scammers there since for last 10 years i've been hearing scams from nigeria.
[Galaxy S III General] JideSerrano:
And how does your post address the subject matter of this thread?

By your warped logic i am allowed to go to any thread posted by any individual of any country who i think scammed me and post non-related thrash or sob stories there? Right?

Please in case you hadn't noticed this is a thread about Nigerians who own a GS3.

If you have any complaints or sob stories about perceived criminal activities involving any nationality i am sure you have a police force in your country you can report it at.

So please stick to the topic of the thread.

Thank you.

[Galaxy S III General] JideSerrano:
Not surprised about that.

Samsung is going to sell a lot of this particular phone and the price is just right.

I remember the S2 came in at 120K
[Galaxy S III General] Frostfree:
98k is under £400 which is significantly cheaper than UK prices. Can you guys check the country of manufacture? Mine here in the UK just says Made by Samsung beneath the battery slot, and the battery has 'Cell made in Korea, Assembled in Vietnam'.
[Galaxy S III General] standog100:
Yea....I got my s2 for about 104k....two months after it came out...s3 is really cheap...:thumbup: to Samsung

The samsung shop at the Palms sells their S3s with the flip case and i think they should have them for sale separately.

[HTC EVO 3D] compOH:
I know this has been discussed before but I haven't found a definitinitve answer to my question regarding it. On the Evo 3d I'm Running MikVirgin Rom RC3 (v1.0?) and Hybrid AnthraX kernel 2.6.38.8-3.0.30. I lost my Wifi the first time I flashed both of these but I don't know which one is breaking it. How do I get my wifi back and what numbers do I have to compare to make sure that a Rom is compatible with a certain kernel?:confused:

Edit* Can I flash the EMEA ICS update in the forums to my Sprint (US) phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] bcarter2000:
Wifi works with the included kernel on Mik's Rom, so I am guessing it's the kernel. If you want help with it please go to infectedrom.com. I wouldn't suggest flashing the euro update, as it's meant for GSM phones, not CDMA. GSM Evo3Ds are rare in the US.

Edit: To fix WiFi just reflash the ROM without wiping....okay maybe wipe dalvik
[HTC EVO 3D] compOH:
Okay I wiped Dalvik and flashed the ROM again without flashing the kernel and the same kernel is still there. I flashed the Anthrax Kernel with the ROM to get the bootloops to stop (not as fun as fruitloops either) the first time unless Mik's rom comes with the Anthrax kernel it won't flash over it. Wifi still broken.
[HTC EVO 3D] deathspankd:
You should wipe the cache and delvik after you install your rom and kernel. Also if using 4ext disable smart flash and always shutdown to make sure a full restart takes place. I've done this with other ics roms that required that kernel and never had an issue with them
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
Are you S-ON? Wifi could be from boot.img not flashing correctly. I haven't used Mik's rom, but ZR3D ICS with that kernel works fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] compOH:
I'm S-On Hboot 1.5 and using twrp, I've wiped both, wiped none, reinstalled and still no luck. Any other ideas? How can I flash back to the factory rom and kernel?
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
I know with s-on you have to flash the boot.img separately. That's your problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] kiewee3:
The WiFi is broke because the kernel modules and the Rom don't mix together. Since you are s-on, the boot partition is locked and you can't use twrp to flash to it. 1) You can manually flash the boot.img (boot.img = kernel) using fastboot. The boot.img is found in the Rom.zip Or 2) adb reboot bootloader then manually boot the recovery img through fastboot. If you use the second method, you can just use your recovery as if you are s-off.

With s-on you need to do these workarounds to flash kernels

Hope this helps!

I still like the old one better, i think it portrays the right message which is basically learn how to research and find answers for yourself. This is a very technical forum with a lot of existing asked questions and answers so don't be lazy and just post to get an immediate answer. Its like showing up halfway into a conversation and asking "what are you talking about" and everyone awkwardly stares at you, when you could have just listened for a little while and figured it out yourself. "Learn to Search to learn." Everyone had to start off as a NOOB, its your turn.:D

The old one is fine as it is imo...

...if People are put off let them go join another site. The point always seems to be rammed home that this is a "Developer" website but yet when it comes to doing anything about restricting ridiculously noobish activity it's like "well we can't do that unless it scares People away" etc. People joining this site should be of a particular mindset, aptitude to begin with and not joining to start new threads asking "how to" do what's right there in the Stickys, or on the very same page...

...and it's been said on different Android forums is that it's the attitude here that is what puts People off because they don't get the reassurance, assistance or molly coddling they're looking for here.

So I'm all for anything that separates the wheat from the chaff.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tripex2k:
Hi everyone,

since I was not ale to ask for this problem in the corresponding Dev threads, I will have to ask in here.

The problem is, that since I switched from MIUI/cm9 to AOKP based roms, I'm not able to send all files via bluetooth. I tested all extension I normaly transfer and use on my smartphone and which worked on MIUI/Sammy/CM9 (Well, with CM9 I'm not sure, I mainly used MIUI until I got the problem with the ICS MIUI that it works for 3-4 days and after that it crashes and nothing works anymore, aCore fcs and many other fcs and than bootanimation freeze.).

I use my smartphone as a mobile stick sometimes but I do not transfer files via usb at work, only via bluetooth.

Working (Tested under RootBox 1.3 with Siyah 3.3.2) extensions:

*.gif, *.jpg, *.png, *.txt, *.pdf, *.zip, *.bmp, *.mp3, *.mov, *.wmv, *.avi, *.wma, *.wav, *.mp4, *.xls, *.doc, *.ppt

Not working extensions:

*.xlsx, *.apk, *.bin, *.rar, *.iso, *.pft, *.docx, *.odt, *.exe, *.dll, *.sys, *.msi, *.msu, *.jar, *.csv, *.apb, *.gz, *.xsl, *.xml, *.mysql, *.php, *.html, *.asp, *.db, *.sql, *.bz2, *.7z, *.pptx, *.wmf

These are all extension I use usually daily within our systems at work. With MIUI I never had problems with any files. With AOKP based roms I now have problems.

Anyone knows a fix for this or a workaround?

Regards

tripeX2k
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pelpa87:
rename those files to a working extension...then rename it again in ur computer...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tripex2k:
Na, I need to get them from pc to the smartphone. I managed it the other way round, even when I feel more comfortable with Bluetooth I now use AirDroid. Had to change our company network a little bit, but my coworkers are comfortable with it, because they use AirDroid, too now.

I tested another BT app (Bluetooth File Transfer) that works with any extension, but AirDroid is much faster, but less secure in my eyes. I will have to train my coworkers how to root and customize Android and put up a firewall in the smartphone so nobody can accidently get hacked when he accidently let AirDroid run when he/shes at home or in twon.
