[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] OkOBxxx:
I am absolutely positive its new and stock firmware i just updated it trough Samsung Kies software and its the same. I even did factory reset, and chosen english. All menus show in english and all core android apps. However there's some 3rd party apps pre installed i guess that still in korean.

Also the welcome goodbye screen is korean and error messages are. Guess its as close to english as it gets.

Now the phone has antenna however when i run app to listen radio it finds zero stations tv, zero stations its because its programmed for Korean frequencies? how i reprogram so i can watch tv/listen radio in USA?

Also how i can root it without loosing stock ROM, only way i found so far ppl here say its only possible with custom ROM, which ROM is best to use if i dont care for anything new just stability of ROM.

Only one i found that works on Korean version is AOKP ROM which is ported and camera and bluetooth don't work its unacceptable for me other one "	Rice Rom" has english option and fully works other one RJ's rom is not clear if supports Korean version?

Is it possible to install International or USA firmware instead of korean so i can use more ROM's?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lolo9393:
It is working fine I see you have menu in english.

Korean dedicated applications will open "only" in korean language, they are not useful for us, forget them.

About the antenna it is not for radio, this antenna is for digital korean TV only available there. FM radios you get them through hearphone cable as antenna.

I don't know what country you are living by now, but no risk you copy it! And it will be 100% korean language.

About new roms, I have opened a third try to get some foreign support, but success is very tiny.

See yourself!

About ROMS, easy to say that if you want all the fonctionnality working (especially 5m camera), wise is to stay with KR KPL and root.

Welcome to the club
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] OkOBxxx:
I am in USA. what you talking about when you say "but no risk you copy it".

I did did not found any info on how to root stock ROM. Can you help?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lolo9393:
Hello

to copy a radio station or TV means to catch it, to receive it clearly. this usage with the military military operators. (as exemple It is used incessantly in the Stargate serie)

DAB Korean TV has FM radio like maximum range, so no risk for you to receive it! sorry

About the "rooting kernel" here is the link:

http://soon-s.tistory.com/m/post/list

just make use of odin, do not touch at the option and only flash the kernel in PDA place.

You can also flash the rooted KPH Rani rice white wine 2, it is very light but not based on KPL .

If link's dead, ask the forum for refresh them.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corkie1:
Hi guys

Could anyone advise what is the best option for app backup? Basically its for backing up an app before i upgrade it from the play store. If i have a backup i can just revert in case the upgrade isn't suitable. In the past i used ROM manager and this would backup the whole device. Would titanium backup do for this? I also note there is Chainfires CWM but can you do individual backup and restores with this?

Thks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellow95:
Titanium backup save app+data.

I use it for two years now and can't live without :)

In the free version you can only create one backup per app, but with the paid version you can do as many as you need.

At least, that's the basics. It do a lot more.

Hope it'll serves you ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corkie1:
Many thanks ill give that a try
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dualsh0ck:
hello..

i've search thru the forum, and my prob is somehow differ than others..

already unlocked bootloader.. apply custom kernel successfully..

step i do to flash rom:

- backup in CWM

- reboot into recovery [power button then repeatedly press volume up]

- [wipe cache partition, advance wipe dalvik cache, battery stat]

- install custom ROM zip from sdcard (with no ERROR reports or problem during flashing)

- reboot into system

still stuck at sony logo.. wait around 1 hour.. nothing happened...

then i remove battery, try to boot into cwm..

success..

but the cwm background pic changed with wording "CWM-based recovery v5.0.2.7 Full (by DooMLoRD)".. not like before.. and i restored back..

the ROM i tried is Pureness build 3 and jjHybrid 3.1.. both give same problem..

check screenshot of my system below.. is there's any problem with my system?

or it is related to odex?

so.. got any idea or possible solution?

or my phone problem itself?

thx in advance...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] megatpanji:
try other kernel...

1. Pureness build 3 ,Kernel :Night Elfs ICS Kernel mod

2. jjHybrid 3.1,Kernel Use any of Following

a) STOCK Kernel (No OverClocking)

b) shardul_seth Kernel

c) Night-Elf Kernel

d) Adridu kernel

look at specific thread,you will find the answer.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] iamdchosen1:
I see that you are not wiping/formatting your data.. Wiping data is essential when installing a custom ROMs or switching ROMs..

Before wiping cache, format your data first!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dualsh0ck:
it is not enough to wipe cache, dalvik-cache, battery stat etc? becoz i already done all that through CWM.

and a noob question, how to properly format the data? phone data or sdcard data?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dualsh0ck:
thx but problem above already appeared when i tried to flash pureness build 3 ROM on night-elf kernel..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] iamdchosen1:
The data has to be wiped when you install a custom ROM.. Since some of the data can cause troubles to the new ROM you have installed..

I advice you to do the following when installing a ROM.. Follow step by step..

- Flash the kernel first

- Boot into CWM mode by pressing 'volume down'

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache partition

- wipe dalvik cache

- install custom zip from sd card i.e your custom ROM zip file

- reboot now

there you go now!

PS. Data formatting has to be done in CWM mode and it will not erase your sd data! So relax! :)

Also, press 'Thanks' if I helped you!

CHEERS! :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dualsh0ck:
according to my first post. here

i've already done all wiping in CWM. but still stuck at sony logo.maybe i'll try some other kernel for jjhybrid3.1
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] iamdchosen1:
Did you tried what I said?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dualsh0ck:
one thing.. if i already used custom kernel and i want to change to another custom kernel.. can i just flash new custom kernel on the old custom kernel?

i have suave kernel now.. and i want to change to alliance kernel..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dualsh0ck:
after flashing Alliance1.4 kernel.. my phone got error message "com.android.phone has stopped". what happened?

as before, i just reflash to stock fw.. or there is another solution?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] iamdchosen1:
I don't know why you're getting so much errors?!

I flashed everything on one go and all were just fine to work!

Please tell me your exact process of doing all this?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dualsh0ck:
before this with alliance1.1 and suave6 kernel work with no probs.

must i tell this in every reply? :confused:

this is the exact step doing all of this..

flash kernel via fastboot thru command prompt window..

and flash rom thru cwm with this step..

- reboot into recovery [power button then repeatedly press volume up]

- [wipe data/factory reset,cache partition, advance wipe dalvik cache, battery stat]

- install custom ROM zip from sdcard (with no ERROR reports or problem during flashing)

- reboot into system

and chill bro. i have problem here, and i ask about it because i dont know what to do.

and fastboot folder must placed in android-sdk folders or it is not necessary?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dualsh0ck:
bump
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Vampirmaniac:
Are you sure the kernels are compatible with the custom ROM you are using? Usually the developer suggests some ROMs. Also, you might need a different baseband for the kernels you are using. Which ROM are you using? Some have extra steps you have to perform.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Vampirmaniac:
Only boot.img has to be placed in android sdk folder.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Vampirmaniac:
Sorry I'm not awake today. Boot.img must be in android sdk and only the fastboot.exe file. I doubt it's got anything to do with that though, if you can successfully flash kernels.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dualsh0ck:
yup i'm sure.. because i want to flash night-elf kernel + jjhybrid3.1 rom..

as for now i use stock rom because can't successfully flash any custom rom..

my baseband 8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028G-72.. it is also related?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sidsmasher:
HEY EVEN I HAD THE SAME SAME PROBLEM BEFORE...its was that i followed all the steps n still was stuck at bootlogo

even if i tried to go to recovery n flash the rom again , it simply said CANNOT MOUNT SD CARD.

So I tried to format my sd card using SDFORMATTER 3.1 and flashed the om again and :laugh: it WORKED

SO BASICALLY TRY TO FORMAT THE SD CARD USING SD FORMATTER software and not the windows default one.

IT WORKED FOR ME AND HOPE IT WILL FOR YOU ALSO :D

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Vampirmaniac:

After Installing Asphalt 6, I have a folder located in android/data/ called com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP and total size is 932 520 644 bytes. So thats about +- 900 mb. So after opening the game it requested to download another 400 and odd megabytes which I did, my question is, where did the that additional data go to.

Because everytime I am flashing new roms etc and wanting to put back Asphalt 6, I only have the 900mb data and then have to re download additional 400mb data.

I have checked related threads, but none of them is similar to mine as mine is not using the gameloft/games folder.

I also used Root Explorer but the location data/data/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP has a small size of 12,68mb.

Please help, thanks.

That's only the app size as for your data look for it on your sdcard it might b under Android>data>look for a folder similar to the asphalt 6 it MAY BE called com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA6HP if its not there than check the root of your sdcard and look for gameloft folder and look there... if you find the data and you want to flash another rom just rename the data folder or do what I do just add a 1 in front of the folder name containing the data... that that thanks!!:p:D

And I am glad I did.

The only small downside is that it seems to be so hard to root this one. I have not found any easy way as with for example Xperia Pro.

I am very pleased with the stock rom but I really need to get those bloatware out...but I dont want to flash a rom just to get root.

As long as you do not perform a factory wipe/reset, ICS is quite good.

I myself have fallen victim to the eMMC brick bug. I got it repaired under warranty. Rooted as per Doc K's guide and flashed SpeedMod kernel. I am on it since about a month now. Running smooth.

Remember always... any time you want to wipe, flash a stock GB rom, perform a wipe and ttgen upgrade to ICS. That is 100% safe. DIRECT WIPE FROM ICS IS 100% DANGEROUS.

[Motorola Droid 4] icebear8:
i'm a little confused it seems tons of Devs have united and are trying to crack the bootloader for the GS3 for verizon but im a little lost as i am new to motorola phones.

Why has this not happen to any of the newer motorola droid phones? it seems there getting this thing cracked fast but the Droid 4 and razr still have locked boot loaders and these were more of a flag ship phone over the GS3. has no one made this big of a deal over a motorola phone?
[Motorola Droid 4] podspi:
Probably because Motorola bootloaders have been locked for quite some time, and nobody (that I am aware of) has managed to crack them.

The original Milestone's bootloader hasn't been cracked even.

Luckily, we can still get around the bootloader issue via safestrap, and I'm hoping the kexec exploit.
[Motorola Droid 4] icebear8:
Was there this big of a uproar when the milestone came out? Or any other motorola phone with a locked boot loader? It just seems motorola is not that big of a deal compared to samsung
[Motorola Droid 4] omniuni:
Quite the opposite, which is why we have SafeStrap. Remember, the locked bootloader is not exactly Moto's "fault", it's just that it is what the carrier asks of them. This may be for various reasons, including that the MPAA requires locked bootloaders on any device with Netflix preloaded. (Hence, the locked boot loader on the Nook Tablet)

Motorola, however, is one of the few companies to "properly" lock their device. When they say "locked" they mean it. No one has yet figured out a way around it, but instead we're investigating kexec and options like Safestrap that give us sometimes more options than other manufacturers, and without even having to hack the bootloader itself.
[Motorola Droid 4] icebear8:
but i see alot of stuff saying moto was gonna make a program like HTC has that unlocked it for you is that true?
[Motorola Droid 4] moah909:
They had the program to unlock it, but verizon prevented them from releasing it. Also one reason I think that theres such an uproar about the gs3 is because there ARE other models of the gs3 with unlocked bootloaders and samsung promised to have unlocked phones, while moto has never had an unlocked phone since the OG droid.
