[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrewdy:
sorry didnt get you

hey buddy...m sorry i didnt quite get you....

As per my understanding i believe your phone is working fine with CM7 installed and you want to install CM10 on your defy !!

am i correct !!

if you then let me make it clear that the latest CM10 build used a custom kernel made by quarx himself....it is not running a froyo or gb kernel...

so here is what you need to do....

1. simply factory reset your phone...clear cache and dalvik...

2. now flash the latest CM10 build

3. again...clear cache and dalvik...

4. and now let defy boot....first boot may take a longer time....

hope this works for u...if it does not...let me know...will b glad to help u...

Thanks
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czarekusa:
Yes, you are correct. the phone is working fine with CM7.

Factory reset, you mean from boot menu or the hard factory reset with holding volume keys (procedure posted above in this thread)?

The first time I actually tried, I did flash of CM10 without the prior kernel flash and it didn't work either.

so do I need any kernel flash or do I just flash it with CM10 and it should work?

I'll try again later today or tomorrow.

Thanks
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _ossie_:
Lots of us who had bootloops trying to flash CM10 24/09 with a BL5 base SBF solved the problem by flashing a BL6 base Froyo SBF.

But try a factory reset and flashing your stock T-Mobile Froyo first.

If your stock doesn't flash properly then it means you have inadvertently flashed something which updated your BL version to BL5.

I flashed the JDGC_U6.2.13.0 SBF which is BL6 and then I was fine.

Don't use this ROM though, just use it as a stepping-stone to install CM10.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
I'm coming from an iPhone and have been reading and re-reading threads on rooting to make sure that I do it correctly. I think I'm all set to use Odin and have all the files downloaded. Seems pretty straightforward.

The only question I have is; how do I get CWM recovery installed?? I had a Droid X years ago and bought Rom Manager Premium, can I download and use that??

Thanks.

P.S. Sorry if this is a super noob question. I just don't wanna brick my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
follow my guide in the developoment section or click link in sig...all you do is download the ez recovery app from playstore..you must be rooted first!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
I just went to the play store and looked at that ez recovery app, friggin sweet!!! Thanks!

I'll root and backup later on today!! This app makes it easy cause I'm not familiar with adb commands.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
I just came from a Verizon HTC Rezound to the Verizon Samsung GS3, and I am a bit confused at the differences between the two. It appears things like rooting and ROM flashing are done WAY differently on the S3. I managed to get it rooted and have TB and SU working without an issue, and I was able to flash a custom recovery with ROM Manager, but still have some confusion about the inner workings of this phone.

1. Does this phone have an HBOOT?

2. Can I do Nandroid backups on this phone?

3. What is this flash counter I keep seeing mentioned?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] toolfan2k4:
I know he probably should have created a new thread for this question. However, I too am curious as to the answers to these questions. Is there anyone familiar with HTC devices that can explain the differences? Especially 2 and 3 as the term flash counter has me rather frightened. I am looking to purchase a new phone and really want the GS3 but not if I can only flash the ROM a few times.:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
Yeah, don't jack my thread!!!

After finding out the issue was a bit of user error I got CWM to flash correctly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
if you follow the methods in my guide you wont trip the flash counter...most new android devices have a counter that counts how many times custom software was flashed on the device. there are ways to reset it aswell...best advice is to start doing alot of reading! my guide will get you where you want to go, but i dont have the time or patience to explain all the differences between samsung and htc for flashing roms. i will say samsung is much harder to brick thanks to odin.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jammol:
I keep seeing new threads with the same questions.

1. Make sure you have the correct drivers installed.

2. Turn your phone off and unplug USB cord.

3. Hold the VOLUME DOWN button while inserting the USB cord.

4. You should see your small notification light in the top right of the phone turn green.

5. You are in download/flash mode.

Note: I'm not sire if its all Ions but my ion jumps out of download mode if there is no activity after about a minute.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KEB64:
I'm new to this phone. I'm not near a computer at this time. Do we get cache clearing in flashmode? What else is there? This is for flashing firmware correct?

Sent from my LT28at
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ganeshbiyer:
I think, from flashtool, select ftf to flash, then de-select all the options except wipe cache, and press OK.

Your phone should be in flash mode.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jammol:
Yes you get all the options. Also it will tell you your phone will reboot at the of the flash but it actually won't do it. Just unplug and then turn your phone on normally.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KEB64:
Is there a link to a Sony support page that outlines this? Is "flashtool" a hack? Like I said I'm new to Sony. I'm coming from Motorola where we had fastboot mode, stock recovery.

Sent from my LT28at
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jammol:
Flashtool is a tool for hacking your phone. It is not from Sony. If you don't feel comfortable using it then you probably shouldn't be hacking your phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KEB64:
Thanks. I don't remember saying anything about my comfort level. I am in fact comfortable with flashing/hacking/modifying. I said I was new to Sony ;)

Hi to all,

I found a lot of threat titled gps.conf, etc.. but I didn't find someone that has solved the long time to fix GPS issue on our device (obviously without wifi).

Anyone would share his GPS.conf or have any advice to solve this issue?

My G70 is rooted with r14 kernel.

Thanks a lot!!

p.s. I edited my GPS.conf in various way, also using the AGPS data downloaded by GPS stat, but I want to use my G70 as a car-GPS, so without WiFi or data connettivity.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Salvi1982:
Ok, I found a solution decompiling both files gps.conf and sirfgps.conf, if usefull for anyone I can share these; I remove all settings unusefull on gps.conf, simply why they didn't work.

Now I fix on cold in about 2min just with G70 GPS chip (so no wifi -> no AGPS) indoor, less than 1min outdoor; average error from 0m to 120meters.

Is there someone who knows a better solution to reduce fixing time without data download (european configuration)?

Is there anyone who use G70 like car navigator? Do You know any tricks?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
Maybe you can share that files..i use it with my track but that is walking ..never try it to use it in car because for car i use tablet for nav..but and with walking it takes a lot of time to lock..after that it is ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Salvi1982:
Here the two files I used for.

As usual remember to set rw-r-r inside /etc/ folder, with root explorer.

With these settings I can use just the GPS chip.

Just a question, has your tablet a gps or agps? If gps without data download, what's your fixing time? Can you share your gps.conf and sirf?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
Is that for ICS?I dont have that second file in etc folder.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Salvi1982:
Yes, sirfgps.conf is for ICS, Gingerbread doesn't need it; I use modchip 1.5 with r14 kernel.

This pack is usefull for both configuration ICS & GB.

As soon as possible I'll switch to ICS...when it will become more stable...

I recently made a few videos using the video maker app i got from the Samsung app, anyways i am missing eight video and over 60 very important pictures of family. I went to my gallery and changed it to people instead of folders and it showed the pictures I'm missing but when i click on the picture to view them it shows a different photo and i can't get the videos to show up at all. Anyone know if this could be a sd card issue or that app i tried everything.
[HTC Wildfire S] Denz!!:
pls tell me ,how many tricks for flashing rom ,,,:rolleyes:
[HTC Wildfire S] rjshrjndrn:
1.through RUU(rom update utility)

This will be an executive file simply connect ur phone to PC by USB debugging enabled main point is u must select correct RUU

2. Through hboot

Its generally like ruu method ie, each RUU contains rom.zip file in it. This file can be taken from %temp% while running ruu. Rename dis file as PG76IMG and place dis file into root of sdcard and jst boot into hboot

3.if u hv system.img and boot.img jst connect ur phone to PC while USB debugging enabled and type command

Fastboot flash system system.img

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

4. As all know through recovery jst flash the zip

check out whether ma thnx button wrkz.... ;)

Now the device hang in a loop.

hi guys ive acquired a desire s, that starts up with the "tim" logo, i believe is a european mobile provider, could i simply root the phone and then install a uk ruu to take it back to a stock uk phone?

i want to maybe keep it stock unrooted after to sell
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
You don't need to root. Prepare a goldcard and use your preferred RUU, the latest possible. If you want to make 100% sure - temp-root by any means (zergRush) and execute misc_version script to downgrade main version.

All the words that are here should guide your search, if they're not familiar to you - look them up and understand what they do.
[HTC Desire S] dan281082:
surley rooting will be as easy as temp rooting??

dnt i just need to root

then flash the ruu that will the unroot me with the stock rom??
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
I gave you a short answer. If you want a long one - please read the whole "Desire S guide for newcomers", understand the ways to root, understand that one of the ways gets you nowhere and takes extra steps (unlock) and the other way takes exactly the same step you want to take for perm-root - but you don't need perm-root, and this step and all the following ones will be just wasted. Moreover, perm-rooting won't help you, you'll still need SuperCID.

To cut it short - I gave you a 100% correct and shortest possible way, if you want to do something else - do whatever you want, if you want to know why it's the shortest possible - read and understand what things do and you'll understand it. Specifically read and understand all the steps of rooting method by downgrading and S-OFF.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WtfAndroiD007:
Hey XDA friends...seriously over my head noob here, I performed the Odin One Click stock root posted on You Tube by QbKing last week. Maybe two days ago, I lost my status/notification bar as well as the ability to answer phone calls. i can make them tho. Also, my home screen icons are dissappering randomly (possibly only at reboot, I'll have to check on that). This all occurred it seems, when Titanium B/U prompted me to save certain apps to SD. Please help me and i will promise not to ever again take you alls training and long hours learning your craft lighty again! Thx.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Did you keep your data? If so the best way is a totally clean install. Give it another shot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WtfAndroiD007:
Thanks

I did in fact do a "save data root", and I'm embarrassed to say, how might I go about performing a clean install, and would I have root privileges after, and finally, any tips or advice on how one might avoid this type of thing in the future? Thank you for taking some of your time to guide the blind and aimless
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Cause I'm lazy and don't want to hunt though QB's videos..

Which One Click did you use?..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
re download the one click, making sure it is ff18 or el29 depending on whether you want gb or ics, then reflash it in odin using the same video as a guide. Weird you lost that status bar though, usually it won't boot if you had a bad download. I suspect with titanium backup you restored a gingerbread launcher on an ics rom or vice versa. Avoid restoring apps from titanium unless you know what you are doing would be my advice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WtfAndroiD007:
The Stock to Stock w/root for EL29 the save data version, that help?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
No, you don't want to save data
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WtfAndroiD007:
Thx for that info cuz I was doing just that.... attempting to restore certain back ups, one being the stock launcher. So are you suggesting a complete wipe and then download and reflash the one click? Honestly, the reason I orginally decided on the root option is sorta of dumb I suppose. I was sure that my ex had installed spyware on my phone and saw root as the only viable option for discovery, I actually like the stock rom and initially really liked the stock w/root. Obiviously I have a lot to learn...and express my genuine appreciation for knowlegdeable people such as yourself for helping me pull my head out my ass inch by inch.:p:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Here you go http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721229

Then Install this one

2) Download the FF18 full restore One-Click self-extractor

[MD5: 16c7d577feda23d1f4deb448d6453735 / Size: 311,608,965]

Also if you have access to a wifi connection or good 4g speeds I would recommend downloading all of your apps again and truly starting from scratch. It should take about an hour to do it all assuming you dont have hundreds of apps.

Just sync your phone now, do the one click, after boot update profile and prl then sign into google account and resync then start setting up apps. This is when you decide if you really need all the crap you previously had on your phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WtfAndroiD007:
also, not sure if i mentioned that initially all functions were operational after ROM flash....it was only after I got to jacking with stuff, did that happen. Oh yeah, also have had a few soft resets occur ass well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Here, enter the link below in your url bar (assuming you are on Windows). It is sfhub's one click. Just click the file after it downloads and flash it.

http://little-melon.com/sfhub/SPH-D710.FF18_CL663858_ROOTED-oc-sfx.exe

Be sure to go to the thread and thank him, just posted the link so you would have the right one.

Word of warning, you are going to lose your apps and will have re download them. If the phone doesn't boot after flashing it, re download again because you simply had a bad download.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WtfAndroiD007:
Thx....one question. I've read threads, albiet, not really any thing current (like late 2011), expressing bricking issues upgrading from GB to ICS. Should I not stick with GB? Or m I already on ICS? Is the Build no. on my "About Phone" list accurate or does it not recognize modifications?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
The link I posted will give you stock rooted ICS. Flashing through odin isn't very dangerous as long as you don't touch your phone while doing it and only flash the file I linked to. And don't restore any titanium backup apps this time unless you can differentiate system apps from store apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WtfAndroiD007:
I will heed your advice. Thx again
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
With restoring your apps. In titanium back up, hit restore missing apps. Then before you hit restore make sure restore only apps not apps+data. This way its only the apps you have downloaded and they are fresh.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Also dont flash anything from the recovery included with stock rom. Use this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1767421 or some other safe kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Don't think this is accurate. It will restore any apps that have backups.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I don't think he/she is ready for custom kernels and roms yet, play around with just root first.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
It sounds to me like when you used TiBu to move apps to SD you accidently moved system apps including the systemui.apk and dialer and/or contacts possibly. When moving apps to SD thru TiBu never move apks in red, also never restore those apps or their data if you switch to a different rom version

Go in TiBu to the apps on SD and move any red labeled apps back to internal and reboot afterwards should return your status bar and whatever else is missing or borked. if its just systemui that may cause issues with incoming calls, I know 100% it will make the status bar and notification tray go poof!

This is correct, you can also open up missing apps in batch mode, hit Deselect all and then go down the list and check off only the apps you wan installed, and choose apps only, data only or apps+data. Usually you will wanna install apps only, then cherry pick ones you want to restore the data too
