[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dualzo:
so I've been trying for 5 hours to fix my semi-bricked phone and I can't do anything .... I've tried with odin 4.43 and some stock ROM-s ... but it gets stuck ... god damn it :( what should I do , i have no warranty ... GSM service , do they know how to fix things like these? it seems complicated

http[dots]//img18[dot]imageshack.us/img18/6763/96005243[dot]jpg ---> i get stuck with odin here

L.E

So I finally managed to fix it with AiresVE.ops , MultiLoader Odin v.4.43 and an official ROM from sammobile , it took 8 minutes but I had to do it on my laptop. Thanks for everything guys.

Hi,

some time ago i got the same problem ;) But don't worry it's easy to solve..

Just download this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1694617

and download this one to get a stock rom:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1032437

or i recommend the broodrom which is based on the valuepack an works just flawless on my i9001 ;)

then copy both .zips to your external sd and then boot into recovery (press vol+ and power button.. wait 3-5sec and release.. when the android thing & a box appears press and hold the home button (the left touchbutton))

if you're now in the recovery mode, click on "install update via zip" or something like that..

then you navigate to your external sd where the 2 files are

then you install the teamwinrecovery (zip file) after that you shutdown your system (pull the battery^^)

then boot again into recovery and you will see a new recovery (it's the teamwinrecovery)

this can be controlled with your touchscreen

now you click again on "install update via zip" or something like that an navigate again to your external sd..

for that you should navigate on the tip level and open a folder called "emmc"

There you install the other zip (it's your rom) an wait until it's finished

it will reboot automatically

If you get stuck in a recovery loop you should flash the bootloader with odin.. (instructions are given in the teamwinrecovery thread) ;)

Good Luck and sorry for my horrible English ;)

You can send me a pm if you have questions ;)

Hi,

I'm searching an app which makes it possible to answer invitation send via mail. It should allow to agree or to decline to the appointment. In case you accept the appointment it should import to your calender of choice.

Unfortunately I dont find such an app. Perhaps you can help ;)

Until now I'm using Kaiten Mail and Business Calender Free on S2 with cm9.

Thanks for your help!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dobrodt:
Yes indeed! It was late... ;)

No I cant use Google Calender because its business related data which I dont want to share with Google. The calender is stored in a groupeware called SOGo. Its connected via caldav.

Thanks for your help.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dobrodt:
Come on, I'm not so lazy and I tried Google. It is not the problem of getting the calender on the phone. Thats done.

In MS Outlook its possible to send invitations to appointments via mail. If you get one of this inivitations you can choose accept or decline (in Outlook). If you accept the appointment it is stored in your calender. The same function I would like to have on my phone. Non of mail apps I tried has this function. It is circuitous to read the mail, open calender app, dont forget the details during this... Simply press "Accept" would be nice. Every f***ing MS phone is capable doing this!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] organizedConfoosion:
AOKP has been buggy for me lately, I've been getting really weird text messages that don't have english characters in them, and I can't download or send picture messages.

Is this happening to anyone else or just me? It was working great when I first got it, but lately it's been being really strange. Normally if I just reboot my phone everything works fine when it turns back on, but it hasn't been that way for a few days now.

Would wiping dalvik and all that stuff fix it? I don't have a windows PC at my disposal to install a new ROM or anything, so I'm trying to just make this work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SkippyDogg:
Those texts messages with scrambled text are warning alerts that currently being tested and AOKP at the moment cannot read them correctly. I herd you can block those text messages by using gosms.

What build are you on? I remember builds prior to build 40 had trouble sending SMS. The newest build, Milestone 6, has SMS working. You can install it on your phone without your computer by using Mobile Odin, flash EL26 kernal, factory reset, flash new rom and gapps. You could flash over your current from but it could be very buggy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] organizedConfoosion:
I'm on build 40 at the moment, But I guess since I have mobile Odin from a few weeks ago, I can try flashing the new Milestone onto my phone. There isn't anything that should go wrong, is there? Or is there anything else I need to worry about?

Also, how will I do the factory reset? Boot into recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SkippyDogg:
Download rom file + latest gapps and place them at the root of your sdcard

Download EL26 CWM Kernal

Download Caulkin's Format All for ET4G

Install Mobile Odin

1. Select EL26 CWM Kernal and flash it through Mobile Odin

2. Upon reboot, hold power+volume and boot into recovery.

Once inside recovery, choose the option factory reset, then wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Then flash Caulkin's Format all for the ET4G

Then flash the rom

Then flash gapps

Reboot

Done! :laugh:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] organizedConfoosion:
Thanks. :D

Also, when you said bugs can occur, what exactly did you mean? Could these bugs brick my phone, or just bugs within the ROM itself and not necessarily with the phone as a whole? And how likely are these bugs able to occur?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
If you use a safe recovery then the only bugs to worry about are within the rom. Only bug being reported lately is seldom screen glitches...been on aokp since the last build and it runs as my daily driver. Calls/wifi/4g/video playback/data/sms/mms/Bluetooth all work fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] organizedConfoosion:
So I shouldn't have to worry about bricking my phone or anything, should I?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Euphora7:
Nope, kt's not something you should worry about if you follow the directions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
El26 kernel via Odin/mobile Odin, reboot to recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvik, flash rom, flash gapps, profit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SkippyDogg:
Just bugs within the rom. For example you might get force closes or apps might stop responding, some of your apps might not be there. Stuff like that because between rom updates, things change/break and applying a rom on top of a updated one is highly likely to break to some things. It's highly recommend to start fresh every time. You can still back up your apps using apps like Titanium Backup for example or text or anything of the sort.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Gman2oo6:
Goodday @ all

I'm from europe and i have the Huawei U8800 ( not pro not 51 ) just the standard U8800

Well I have sended it back tot the factory after somekind of update it recieved by wifi ??

It stopped at 2/2 right in the middle

So now i have it back and they put a new rom on it and thats this one

Android version : 2.2.1

Kernel version : 2.6.32.9-perf

Build number : U8800 V100R001C00B135SP01

So i thought well there is a Gingerbread out so lets update it

Well WRONG !!

Only version i can put on it is this one

Android version : 2.2.2

Kernel version : 2.6.32.9-perf

Build number : U8800 V100R001C00B138SP04

( still at the end i also get a yellow mark and the notice it failed , But then i reboot it and it starts a little box who

tells me its formating / removing DATA and CACHE after that it reboots himself and then its OK )

In the log i have these lines

With Frodo:

notes:(dld_file_ptr != -1) !

update.app have updated!

start cust update !

dload_sd_ram_data_proc->(retry >= DLOAD_RETRY) failed!

With Gingerbread :

notes:(dld_file_ptr != -1) !

dload_sd_file_data_proc-(dld_retry >= DLOAD_RETRY) failed!

After that it will not make a upgrade to the 2.3.5 version

Always get stuck on the 2/2 screen with a yellow sign saying FAILED !

I have tried these files

U8800 V100R001C00B526G001 (normal )

U8800 V100R001C00B518G001 (Beta1.0) (Overseas Normal) (Gingerbread)

U8800 V100R001C00B522G001(Normal)(Gingerbread)

But no luck

I'm just lucky that i always can go back to the 2.2.2 !!

So does anybody have a idea what's wrong here ?

Tried it with a 8GB and 16GB MicroSD from ScanDisk

( format in fat32 the 2.2.2 will do it just fine but the 2.3.5 fails )

EDIT :

This one also works : U8800 V100R001C17B162CUSTC17D001 (Unknown)

But also with the failed mark at the end of updating it

Also now i noticed my IMEI is gone ??

To start I am a newb

I Have a galaxy nexus with the 4.1 Jelly Beans ( not stock, installed via ROM from here xda). That's fine. This week a new "system" update was available for my phone. So I downloaded it and the phone reboot, when the phone starts it goes to the cwm recovery screen saying the update failed. I would like to have some HELP, I found other threads, but I really don't want to do anything worng.

My questions:

How can i get the updates to work again?

DO i need to get ICS back to update the phone?

How should i do it?

Can I do that without losing my data ( would be great, but i am ok if there is no way)

I am just afraid if i go back to ICS, and the update don't show up.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FredFS456:
The issue at hand here is that you have a custom recovery. I can't say that if you remove CWM that you'll be able to OTA update, but that's at least what was the problem there. Now, if you want to keep all your apps and update to the OTA jelly bean instead of the Google I/O preview build, you can flash this here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1737849

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phazerorg:
You said you downloaded your ROM from here, but you didn't say which one. There was at least one (Koush's) that was an image of the stock ROM, taken from the OTA update that went out to the phones given out at Google I/O. If you have that ROM (and the corresponding radio), you can just use CWM to install the OTA update. I know this works because I did it myself.

If you really have one of the custom ROMs, your only choice is to return to stock if you want the official OTA. And yes, this will remove CWM and wipe your entire phone (including anything in /sdcard)... so backup anything you want to keep before you try this.

Sorry man, I know i am not giving a lot of information, but that's cause i really don't know. I did a random "how to update your galaxy nexus to 4.1" tutorial, and i don't even remember where...... I just know the links i download were from here.

So what i am going to do:

1: Factory data reset

2: I think it's going back to ICS

3: Just do the normal system update that should just pop up.

My only fear is if the phone does not ask for update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phazerorg:
If you restore to stock using efrant's guide, it will be ICS since Google has not yet posted Jelly Bean firmware images. If you don't get the OTA notification or don't want to wait for it, you can just download and apply it manually (see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1419170)

No, that will just wipe data. You'll have a clean phone, but with the same ROM you currently have. The phone doesn't keep a copy of the stock firmware hidden away or anything like that. Efrant's guide is the proper way to restore everything back to stock.

What ics ROM have you guys the best results for battery life? On AOKP, I'm getting like 8 hours with 20% left. I don't use data because it kills the battery fast.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adobrakic:
Prepare to be flamed for asking this question. Not sure why, but everyone seems to get their underwear in a bunch when this question is asked. Just a heads up.

Anyway, I had the same problem as you. I had the exact same setup as I did on CM9, but had much worse battery life, even after multiple fresh installs. I also don't have any widgets or many apps that sync very often. It seems that you just have to wait for the OS to "soak in." Make sure that you wait at least 10 minutes before doing anything after you flash the ROM. Just let your phone sit. After that, you can go into settings and tweak the phone. Also, try to go into the power saver settings, and setting sync to turn off after a set amount of time (I put 15 minutes), and for data to either turn off or turn to 2g mode after x amount of time.

Also, I'm sure you know the obvious.. turn off wifi/data/gps/bt/etc. if you're not using it. Set brightness to low or automagical.

I began with ~7 hours of battery life, and got to ~14 hours. Typically I don't have to be on battery power for 14 hours, and I tend to end up having ~35% of battery life after a full day of use.
