Crashdamage:can I use the same process to go back to the original stock ROM prior to any OTAs? And here is why I want to do that.

I got my phone in January 2012. I received a message about an OTA. I did the update. My Plantronics Voyager Pro and 2-Explorers came in. I tried them out on the phone and the reception and range were completely horrible. 1-2 Ft. the Explorers had slightly better sound quality.

After some research on t-mo forum I found that there were others with the same problem. (The first Product Review that complains about Bluetooth issue was December 17, 2011. The first OTA was released on December 12, 2012. Coincidence?) Some of the people said their BT worked fine prior to the first OTA. T-mo's corporate line was "ICS will fix everything." I waited for ICS as long as I could and did the "Leaked ICS."

ICS did not fix the problem....but it did improve it from 1-2 Ft. to 8-10 Ft. It still has quite a bit of static. Therefore because ICS did improve the problem, I want to test the theory that everything was fine with the original ROM. Kind of a "test the theory" and "process of elimination."

Any help form you and the community will be greatly appreciated. I hope at the end of this I can take my findings back to the others that are having this same problem...some of them that have done multiple handset exchanges and still have the problem. -THANKS- ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
My question to you guys is, why root if you want to update to ICS? You do know all the OTA files are available and I wrote a tutorial to update your device manually using them, right?

I want to say it, but I won't, I'm not up for the rants, etc.

badgerdave, if I remember correctly, you're from the tmo community fora, right? You had an issue with your BT and someone posted saying theirs worked great when they rooted their device. You can try a few custom roms, but nobody is definite on your end result until you do it.

Also you guys need to quit using those slow filefactory uploads, devs, RC's, myself included uploaded those files to dev-host accounts for faster, easier downloads, those links can be found in the stock ruu/ota thread, use those and PLEASE READ the dev section, there's updated post and links on the very first threads, I don't get why there's a need to dig up older threads with outdated files/info for something so simple.
[HTC Amaze 4G] badgerdave:
Yes DN that is me. But...I'm am not an anomaly where this BT issue is concerned. I have dated it back to the first posted product review

(December 17, 2011) that listed the BT as an issue...others came after. December 17 is 5 days after the first OTA. There are no bad BT reviews prior to that date.

I am not trying to be difficult. I actually downloaded the PDF for the Amaze Bible and installed it onto my rooted HP Touchpad. I read what you are talking about. (Keep in mind that you guy do this stuff all the time with multiple devices. This comes easy to you. Not so much for those of us that get directed to this forum because our questions and problems surpass the T-mo site.)

That being said..I'll just try my hand at using this link: http://d-h.st/8pm to get what I think I need and then try installing it like I did the first "Leaked ICS"

Thanks for your help.

New motto: Believe in oneself...because no else does.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Not that no one believes in you, but think about this for a minute, many contributors, devs and regular users alike here saw the issue many were having, saw how complicated getting things done were, so we put as much time into making this all simple, I'm talking months of work, endless hours of typing and research to simplify things here, so for you to say you're unable to find things here, that kinda hurts, I myself worked on making the ICS update as simple as possible, I've posted multiple times, more than I can count on how to fix soft bricks and how to restore to complete stock, so you can tell how hard it is to believe when people say we're not helpful and we don't make things simple, if you have a question, ask it flat out, I'll be straight with you that I know what you read and did not read, I can tell you exactly where everything can be found for this device and I've been here a mere month or two, you know what? It's pointless, no point in me saying anything anymore, I guess I should just follow suit of every other contributor around here and just move on to another device like they all did/doing.

So have a nice day, if you can find what you're looking for in the amaze bible thread, PM one of the writers, sure they'd be glad to help, they always have been and always will be very nice helpful individuals.

New motto: I am officially out of the amaze forum.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Kashif92k:
I tried the steps given and everything was going fine until step number 10. I never got a prompt asking to update my phone. Instead it just took me back to the hboot screen with the three androids skating at the bottom with the options: fastboot, recovery, factory reset, clear storage, simlock, image crc. I already had an ICS file downloaded from previous trials to install it, so I didnt use the link you posted, not sure if that matters or not. Anyways, I tried to hit recovery and then a picture of a phone with a red exclamation mark showed up. I then hit the volume up button and power at the same time. Then i went to "apply update from sd card" and then i got an invalid operation and the phone just rebooted normally without applying any update. Any ideas?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
First of all before getting to a solution, you need to point out your device info, that way nobody would be guessing, so provide the following and we'll work from there:

hboot version:

software version currently:

s-on or s-off:

bootloader unlocked: yes or no

carrier:

from there solving your problem would be very much more simple.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Kashif92k:
this is what is see on the hboot screen:

" ***LOCKED***

RUBY PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.90.0004

eMMC-boot

Sep 15 2011, 18:13:11 "

The bootloader is locked, The carrier is T-Mobile USA. Im running on Android version 2.3.4 and the software version is 1.36.531.6. I also took a look at your tutorial for installation before I tried to do it myself.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
And what exactly was your result of attempting to manually update via the OTA files? Answer asap, I'll just move you on to the next method of getting it done via the latest leaked file if you can't get it done via the ota file.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Kashif92k:
Whenever I would manually search for the ICS update OTA, it would just say that my phone was already up to date (even though I am running on GB). Should I try to re-download the T-Mobile OTA file on 4shared that is on your tutorial? And then rename it to "PH85IMG.zip"? If not, please guide me to the next option/step. I really appreciate the help!! :good:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Redownload the ota file from here: http://d-h.st/tdM

Once you download it, place the file on your external sd card, not in any folders, just on the sd card.

Turn your device off

volume down and power on to boot into hboot

select recovery and wait for it to reboot

it should give you a red triangle error, ignore it and press volume up then power button

a recovery menu should pop up, once you see that menu, use the volume buttons to scroll down to the install update from external and hit power to select

it should give you a list of all the files on your sd card, use the volume buttons to highlight the file you downloaded and hit power to select, it should begin updating your device.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Kashif92k:
ok, I followed the steps and tried it just now and I get an error message like this:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

-- Invalid operation. --

Success Rebooting by reason: oem-00...

Also the the background is black with the red triangle error and the text is in yellow.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Yeah I expected that, seems only s-off users can proceed with that method.

This one should work fine though.

Download this file here: http://d-h.st/3VD

rename it PH85IMG and place it on the root of your sd card the same way you did the last file, it has to be named exactly that and in caps

reboot into bootloader, volume up when the file finishes loading, it's gonna install the update and reboot itself, let it boot properly, first boot may take a few minutes.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Kashif92k:
The file is downloading right now. When I put the ICS file on the microsd card, do I rename it to "PH85IMG" or "PH85IMG.zip"? I'm also assuming that I have to follow the same steps you gave me on my last attempt to install?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
just PH85IMG, don't worry about the .zip part, it's already there, just not visible, no do not use the same steps, follow the steps I outlined above when I specified the file and what to do with it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Kashif92k:
This is probably a stupid question....but is there a difference between going into the bootloader and rebooting into the bootloader? If so, how do I reboot into the bootloader? and when the file finishes loading, do I only hit the volume up button or do I hold down the volume up button and press the power button along with it? Also, just to make sure, when you say put it in the root of the sd card, does that mean just put the file on the empty sd card and not into a folder?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
How many bootloaders are there? That should answer your question, if you read and follow all instructions I wrote down, you will get what you need done without any issues, READ them and follow them EXACTLY how I said, I already told you how to get into the bootloader, I already told you exactly where to put the file as well, I was very specific, so I don't see the need of pretty much any questions, please read what I say carefully and follow them step by step, I'm very careful to simplify things and be precise to avoid any confusion.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Kashif92k:
ok...when the bootloader finished loading the ICS file, it just took me back to the bootloader home screen. That's why I asked all those questions. Pressing the volume up button didnt do anything, it just went down and highlighted the "IMAGE CRC". Also, when the file is "loading" it says loading PH85IMG....no image! a bunch of times.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Did you rename and place the file EXACTLY how I told you to? It should at least find the file and read it's contents.

Rename the file you downloaded PH85IMG, place it on your sd card, not in any folders (sure I mentioned this), your external removable sd, not your phone's memory, if you place it on the phone, it will not be detected.

It has to be named in all capital letters, do not put "PH85IMG.zip", just "PH85IMG".
[HTC Amaze 4G] Kashif92k:
yes, I did all of this, and it still doesn't work
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
Not gonna read the whole thread. Long story short

1. Download this

http://d-h.st/3VD

2. Rename as PH85IMG

3. Place it on the root on your EXTERNAL SD Card.

4. Pull out battery.

5. Put battery in.

6. Hold Volume Down and the Power button.

7. It will load the file.

8. Press Volume up. You are done.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:

[HTC Amaze 4G] Kashif92k:
LOL!!! I'm no troll. And got some good news!! I finally got it to work. The problem was was simple....I'm using a mac and when I went to rename the file, I would right click the file go to more info and change the name from there instead of just highlighting the file and then clicking the return key to rename the file. I followed the steps you both gave and everything went pretty smoothly....so THANK YOU!!! :laugh:

You can check version in settings, then about phone in bottom :) Guess you are on stock. Be carefull wiping, factory resetting and deleting large files as kernel can trigger a bug in emmc chip, corrupting partitions.

good you started analysing root causes. Always best case.

now if you dont care for warrantee you can follow directions from this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29139461 to get back to starting point of install. Or to install the awesome speedmod kernel.

Alteratively you can add apps one by one and together with battery usage analysed you can fin culprits. With tools like betterbatterystats, cpu spy and badassbattery monitor :)

Galaxy Note problem

When I got my Galaxy Note, the battery used to last for 10 hrs on GB. After upgrading to ICS, that time dropped to 8 hrs. And after ICS updates, it went down to less than 4 hrs since it was discharging much fatser than charging, and it was the same whether I used the original power charger or direct USB cable.

The original charger is an adapter + USB cable.

Everything went fine when i changed the USB and used the one originally used to charge the Sony 3D glasses.

Now it's charging normally and the discharge rate is around 8% /hr with WIFI and mobile data ON.

Hope it will work for you.:cowboy:

So basically when using any of the Jelly Bean roms, my music and pictures on my internal storage are not being scanned to show up in their appropriate apps. I have tried all the solutions I have found on other threads but none of them have worked. I know a few people have this problem and I would appreciate it if someone could help as this is the only problem I am having using the Jelly Bean roms.

Solutions I have tried:

Clearing storage media data

Installing other JB roms

Installing different kernals

Mounting SD and emmc in recovery

Factory/Data reset (all JB roms)

Fix Permissions

I usually don't have any problems I can't fix on my own with my experience with Android over the years, but this is the only problem I can't seem to fix.

Help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ballsofsteel:
This happens in ICS Roms as well (if you perform a clean install), my guess is that you'll just have to wait it out. The Media Scanner should have started automatically once you've finished setting up your phone. Give it a good 30 minutes to scan your stuff and it should show up. Otherwise, try downloading one of the media scanning apps from market (e.g. "Rescan Media") and see if it does the trick.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavyharmony:
I know, it is pretty frustrating.

What I noticed is that picasa/google photos sync fine. Those are the only photo albums that show up in my gallery.

But if you take a picture with the camera that picture will show up. Weirdly enough, downloading a photo from the browser doesn't show up.

I have had no luck with any music. Even adding new music via USB doesn't seem to show up either.

It is the only real thing that's keeping me from using Jelly Bean as my daily. If a month or so passes by and Jelly Bean is still not on the Nexus S, I might just do a full wipe and start from scratch. But fingers crossed that Google can step up and get Jelly Bean working as well as on the Galaxy Nexus.

Those who are having issues - does the media process also eat 100% CPU?

Starting to seem like a common problem across all devices with JB...

While mediascanner going nuts is a long standing problem dating back to at least Froyo - it seems FAR more common in JB.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
Turns out Google made some significant changes to mediascanner... It no longer caches a bunch of stuff, which kills performance when scanning.

Even if a directory has no actual media files, or has a .nomedia file, it'll scan the entire goddamned directory. One example is that if you have Parallel Kingdom installed, it will sit on the PK directory for 10-20 minutes!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ca7846:
This is the solution I found. I think from ics apps doesn't get turned off even though you press back button. Thus what's happening is that after rescan media is turned on initially, it scans media. After scan is done app doesn't get shut down thus reopening app just opens the app to its previous state wheb scan was complete.

So what you have to do is hit multitask button, close rescan media app by dragging then re open rescan media. It will open fresh and will scan media.
