Yesterday,i was reverting to stock from ics you know...And rooted JW4 with cf.then i wanted to flash semaphore's 2.7.4.I am %100 sure that there was nothing wrong.Just semaphore over cf.Did that ten times!... so here it is;

when flashing process started odin gave fail WHILE flashing zImage.not after or before.Just at the middle of flashing zImage.

I dunno why maybe that one was a random error of odin who nows....

Anyway after it said fail,phone shutted down itself from download mode..First thing that i tried,entering to recovery.But phone was not responding.No boot logo or..just black screen.

I took a deep breath.Restarted my pc while it is restarting i put out the battery from phone wait for 30sec.

Then after pc started up ,i opened odin and put the files etc etc.

Then magical thing happened :D

I tried directly to the d.mode it worked and flashed JVQ then got JW4 from kies

This was my story... :)

I think we should start a membership here. Anyone who wants to join must expirience "OMG" factor for at least 20 min. I had it 4-5 times, if I count my hassling with Omnia too.

Isn't something interesting? I mean, look at us. We flash phones, sometimes we manage to make it useless, we spend hours for rescuing them, all that time we swear to god that we will never do that again, but 5 minutes after we manage to make our phones work we are ready for next flashing. Here in Slovenia we use to say that even donkey goes on ice only once, but looks like we newer learn...:o

About not bricking other people's phones....

Right now I'm in the process of bricking my boss's phone. He wants ICS on his Dell Streak 5, even if it is only pre-alpha :eek: ... Wish me luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sikav:
Luck???

I must announce that he helped me a lot with establishing working ICS on my DS5. Thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stenc55:
Somehow I missed your post. I think I know what you're talking about. A lot of people is asking me if I could flash their phones, any Android phones, not just SGS. First I tell them that they will brick their phones, not me. Then conversation usually goes like this:

Do you have rooted phone?

:confused:

Do you have CWM?

:confused:

Did you ever plug your phone to comp and run program called Odin?

:confused:

Do you know your name?

Aaaaaa I can answer to that, yes I think I know my name :victory:

Ok, go to xda, find ROMyou would like, read how to flash, read last 10 pages of posts, to see what problems you might have, go to sleep, read again, go to church and pray from the bottom of your heart, and then flash. :good:

Eeeerrrr.... I don't think I need to have latest superduper ICS on my phone... :cyclops:

And sometimes after a week or two I have a call like There is somerhing wrong with my phone, can you look at it?:crying:

I have to admit that I sucessfully rescued all phones they have bricked. :laugh: But the look on their faces is priceless... Am I evil?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Blaskovic:
Interesting. I noticed yesterday, that my SGSI is very hot in my pocket. So I looked at it and there was just "g" logo, sometimes blinking. So I took out the battery and started it again. But still only that logo. I repeated it for some times..

Then I said to myself: "argh, recovery mode, here I come! I have some rom zip files on SD card, so I will just reflash it.."

But, I couldn't get into recovery. The same logo. I can only go to download mode, the same as you. I flashed it lot of times throw odin, but I'm so lazy to do that now :D

It's interesting, that I didn't "half-bricked" it during flashing, but during driving a car :) Beat me! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Azure1203:
Get a download jig. Worth every penny.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dreamer94:
He says it goes to download mode.No need to to jig :)

He just needs some energy to flashing from odin.What a lazy man you are :P :P

[Galaxy S I9000 General] stenc55:
Try just flashing kernel first. Semaphore has .tar version for Odin and ICS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gaspernemec:
agree, but my questions:

1. why didnt you download that cwm fix thing (odin flashable) for lost cwm bootloop on ics

2. were you flashing via odin with 1 file? if you did you should wipe data/factory reset, since flashing 1 file even with repartition and pit wont wipe data only repartirion so it will still be filled with your ics data. thing you should do is simply battery pull, boot recovery and wipe data/factory reset

hope those advices save you some time and sweat when running in problem mext time
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stenc55:
1. Last anything flashable with Odin that I was aware of was GB. I didn't need it since first flash of ICS and so I didn't even know it exists. And probably I was too lazy to search.

2. Nope. 3 files with .pit. But I didn't need all of GB rom to work anyway. Just to flash it to be able to flash CWM. But something weird happened in process. When I booted with GB CWM ( it was something of 3.x.x CWM) it has yellow fonts and was written 3.blabla. When I selected ICS rom to flash, it started, phone went to reboot and I suddenly had 5.x.x CWM with blue fonts. When CWM was booted it just continued to flash ICS rom.

So, does ICS roms have 5.x.x CWM integrated or were those some strange remains of ICS roms already installed on phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gaspernemec:
no, auto upgrade happens from gingerbread to ics, since it repartitions some stuff (dunno exactly alltho), booting to CWM 5 is normal behaviour while installing ics

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] stiffi2011:
Hello

I have an ION coming via Fedex tomorrow, and I've been reading up as much as I can until then. Something I cannot find out for sure:

Is the ION Dust and or Water Resistant? I just recently had a RAZR, and the ION appears to have those rubber covers for the ports, similar to the RAZR. Does that mean it will help with Dust and Water getting in?

Thanks for the help
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
They aren't rubber. Might help with dust but not water.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] G Star:
How's the display on the phone?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
I like it. Colors look great and the screen is much better than the Xperia S in my opinion.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] JaredP:
I had my first water incident last night. Just a spilled glass of water, no harm. I wouldn't try submerging it though.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Thewalrus0034:
Now, I'm not exactly dissatisfied with the Infuse itself as a phone, as the development here has been phenomenal, especially with getting us ICS.

The Galaxy Nexus came into consideration with the price drop that I believe only lasts till July 12th. With the Galaxy Nexus I'd get 4G LTE (or would I?), an off contract phone (which is an advantage in some ways despite the cost), "pure google" and long term software support (essentially avoiding fragmentation). I'd also get all the new hardware, yatta yatta yatta... I would essentially be switching to the Nexus line, as this is obviously not an upgrade.

What do you all think, is this worth the $350 for software support and new goodies coming from the Infuse? Would I need to pay for a new SIM card if I get LTE? I'd plan on keeping this phone as long as it's supported. Once my parents dump me off the family plan I was planning on getting as much data as possible and as little of everything else and switching to Google voice.

Thanks for any input, I always like to get some feedback on "major" purchase decisions.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
the $350 play store galaxy nexus does not have lte. youll get the same hspa+ speeds you do on your infuse. the camera is not as good, but the screen is better. the battery life is not as good, but the performance is better. its the best phone you can buy off-contract. youll get android updates first, and you can even run jelly bean right now. and if you have the money and want to buy it, its a good phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
I went from Infuse to GNex and absolutely love it; granted, this was almost 6 months ago. You can bet the farm that Google will have their next Nexus device out in the near future.

Things to consider:

If you stay on At&t, no, you won't have LTE b/c you will need to buy the GSM version of the GNex

Hardware isn't all that new, but it is pretty solid.

Screen size IS smaller than the Infuse b/c of virtual softkeys.

Honestly, it is a decision you will have to make; asking here will get you a bunch of "the infuse is an awesome phone, keep ittt!!!" If you ask the same question over on the GNex forums you will get "You still own a single core phone!? trololol"

Its all up to what you want, not the often biased opinions of others
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Thewalrus0034:
How is the screen compared to the Infuse with the Pentile matrix and all? Also, how is the signal (I've been having signal issues lately and have been trying all sorts of modems)?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
I've had two Galaxy Nexus, the first had a great screen, little more blue than the Infuse's but xhdpi looks amazing. My second has a slightly grainy screen w/ a slight screen burn for like 2 seconds any time I spend too long on one page.

As for signal issues; stock 4.0.4 OTA from Verizon solved all my signal issues and w/ the GNex, the radios stick when flashing roms.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Thewalrus0034:
Are there any build quality issues I need to worry about? Just seems like a good question to ask after you mentioned having a second.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
Not at all; the only thing you really need to watch out for is if you flash a lot of roms. (Also no PIT file available for LTE Nexus)

The only reason I am on my second is b/c nand writing completely stopped working and essentially the phone stopped booting. So just be careful what you flash and make sure you always wipe everything correctly yadah yadah..

So yeah NAND is the only issue I have encountered. The GNex doesn't have gorilla glass, but I've been rocking mine w/o a screen protector since I got it and no scratches here.

Having said all of that; I've had the same Infuse since mid-2011 and it is basically my development phone, so it gets soft bricked several times a week lol and it is still running smooth...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
If you ever do get an LTE phone, you can pick up an LTE sim for free from att store (although the one in he infuse is actually the same as the LTE sims...trust me I'm using my infuse sim on LTE)

You will need to have hem switch you over to the LTE towers or whatever though which is also free and doesn't effect your plan/bill... I just called them and told them I bought a used vivid and needed to enable lte...they did it free of charge....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
Seems like a lot of trouble since the infuse doesn't support LTE lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Haha...it may be a little work, but once you expiernce the speeds of LTE it will be worth it...I get 23mb down and like 10mb up on LTE...only problem is that I'm on the smallest data plan so I can't fully enjoy it :/
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
Oh yeah, I couldn't go back to 3G.

I bought my Galaxy Nexus when verizon was doing double to data, so I have smallest data plan... just doubled to 4GB :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
neither the galaxy nexus or infuse have lte support so going on about lte isnt helping anything.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
He asked a question on if he would need to pay for an LTE sim card...I answered that part of the question...alhough I will agree its getting off topic :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
You. Out of the pool. Lol

Wrong chief, the Toro (Verizon) and Toroplus (Sprint) versions of the Galaxy Nexus BOTH have LTE support. Now, the Maguro (GSM) version of the Galaxy Nexus does not have LTE. (Which is the version that would work on AT&T)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
You're right I might have jumped the gun on that. I'm sorry.

I debated for a second if I should put "gsm galaxy nexus" but I thought no one would be stupid enough to argue the cdma versions had lte since that had nothing to do with att and the $350 galaxy nexus from the play store in question. But alas, I was proven wrong and will be careful of my wording around people like you.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
Wonderful idea! Your earlier post wasn't necessary, so I returned the favor.

The majority of the people here are well aware the Infuse and GSM GNex don't have LTE, see where I am going with this?

Have a good one!

[HTC One X] WasifSal:
Hi! I have been using ARHD 7.1.0 (the base version is 2.05.401.2).

If I want to switch back to some other ROM with a lower base (say LeeDroid having a base version 1.29.401.11).

As we don't have any S-OFF so will this encounter some problems?
[HTC One X] WasifSal:
I'm still waiting for the answer! :confused:
[HTC One X] VertigoOneX:
I had the ARHD 7.1 installed and reverted back to Stock rom with no problems...

I don't know if it'll work with Custom roms based on stock 1.29 but you could always try. And don't forget to flash the according kernel ;-)
[HTC One X] WasifSal:
I had already messed up my phone in the past :/

So I don't think I'm in the room for more risks! Anyone with a similar case such as this?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
It's got nothing to do with the ROM version, it's all about the hboot version, and even then, only when going back to stock. You can't flash a stock hboot older than the current one.

You can go to any other custom ROM, just remember to flash boot.img, and possibly kernel modules. You might need to fastboot erase cache.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singhginni:

[G2 and Desire Z General] misbehave:
Hi all, I have searched and followed all the guides I could search here and still not able to recover my semi-bricked G2.

It happens when I was trying to downgrade it and temp-root/root. The semi-brick took place at the first time rebooting after all the procedure.

I was putting a DZ hboot img file onto it as I have planned to get a rom with HTC sense.

Here is how it looks now:

It has android 2.2 on it with Kernel version: 2.6.32.17-g9ab3677, htc-kernel@and18-2 #1 when I received it.

Please show me some light.

Thank you.
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
it won't boot because you changed the system partition, your old rom will just booloop

boot into recovery, wipe all, flash rom of choice, reboot

your done!
[G2 and Desire Z General] misbehave:
Thanks for the advice.

I did try to boot into recovery from the above screen but it stays in the white HTC screen forever and does nothing.

Is there some files that I will need to put into my SD card to do this recovery step?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Dukenukemx:
I would get a stock rom or RUU and stick it onto your SDcard. Whatever you try to flash must be call PC10IMG.zip.

Here's all the stock roms for this phone. Not sure if you can rename .exe files to .zip.

http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision
[G2 and Desire Z General] misbehave:
Thanks.

So after I have the stock rom file inside the SD card, I choose "Recover" from the above screen to load it up?
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
it looks like the recovery flash didn't work is all, before going about with the ruu try fastboot, if it let's you...

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

works the same as you did with the adb commands.

get the recovery image in the same folder as fastboot.exe (probably sdk platform-tools) open a cmd there, have phone in fastboot mode and type

fastboot devices

in the cmd window, if you see yours then all is good and flash the recovery (oh and make sure the image is named recovery.img)
[G2 and Desire Z General] misbehave:
Thanks, I will try this one first.

You have been very helpful and patient with me. Appreciated!
[G2 and Desire Z General] misbehave:
Ok, here is what I have now.

Then, on my phone, I pick "recovery" then power-button to choose it.

The screen then changed to the recovery loading screen. Then it reboot itself and go back to the white HTC screen and stuck there again.

Do you know what else I could try?
[G2 and Desire Z General] misbehave:
I have tested all the rom for Tmobile on that page and none of them work. All recovery process end up with the red triangle and exclamation mark on the screen but nothing else.:crying:

Is there anything I can try?
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
things are looking bad sorry to say but I do still think you have a chance

Hi it took me w days to find out that you can select the options like

I hope this will help.
[G2 and Desire Z General] misbehave:
I think all of my problem was caused by a faulty micro-SD card. Turns out the micro SD-card I have been using was corrupted.

After I replaced it with a new card, everything is running ok and I am able to do a recovery.

Guess I will have to try everything from the start again.

Thanks for all the advice and helps guys!!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] misbehave:
So the recovery went smoothly after doing so with a new SD card and my G2 is now installed with Android version 2.3.4

-Baseband version: 12.52.60.25U_26.08.04.30_M3

-Kernel version: 2.6.35.10-g96de068

-Build Number: 2.15.531.3 CL82286 release-keys

What will be the correct guide to root+S-off for this system then?
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
use the xda wiki or the cyanogen one. if you can't find it just google "cyanogen root wiki htc g2" or "xda wiki root vision"
[G2 and Desire Z General] misbehave:
Thanks! Yeah, that's why one I've just used.

I think my G2 now has perm-root and S-off.

Now trying to find a good rom with Sense on it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] skui:
the guide to do that with the "adb" is simply GREAT. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
most sense roms are unbarably slow to me so my only suggestion is to try an earlier "lite" sense rom. but ever user has his/her own taste so flash away...
[G2 and Desire Z General] misbehave:
Thanks for the suggestion.

One more question though.

From this page here: http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision

I see there are some stock Desire-Z roms from Hong Kong.

Let say if I have the Desire-Z hboot on my G2 and I flash my G2 with one of those HK Desire-Z roms, will I still be able to use T-Mobile 3G radio band on my G2? Or will my flashed G2 will then be only able to use those radio bands for the Asia market only?
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
well you should be ok, but you will have to pull out the radio and recovery and hboot out of those pc10.imgs

I would suggest to stay away from any stock roms for now, go to the development thread here in the g2 forum and look for the 3rd or 4th sticky, should be a compalation of most of the newer roms for the vision, here you will find them catogorized for ease if you want to try a bunch of sense roms they're all right there

happy flashing!
[G2 and Desire Z General] misbehave:
Oh, I was looking for stock Desire-Z rom because custom roms don't have that HTC-Location app that the stock rom has.

I have been using (and paid) that app for offline driving navigation and like it a lot.

Not sure if any 3rd party custom roms will still have that app.
