Charging is better than it was but still not close to the stock rom charging. Did your CM build get accepted by cyanogen? Saw the new info on github. Very nice progress.

Out-of Sync downloads

Does anyone else have a problem with a never ending download notification for app update. When I pull down the notification icon at the top, in a section marked Ongoing the message "Facebook (build 240597)" displays with a scrolling blue rope-line beneath it. The current build is 124972 so the download notification never completes (for the last three days)

Is there a way to delete this notification or wipe all current notifications? Nothing in Application Manager will do it - clear cache, clear data don't. I'm running MA2, rooted and have Titanium backups.

I updated from LJ1 to MA2 via the zip file provided by onelikeseabass several posts back. Then I tried Both the LJ1 and MA2 tethering fixes from nard, but it seems like something is off... the t-mo tethering app is no longer useless, I can actually open a tethering session with it, and even if I use wi-fi tether app, I still get txts from t-mobile telling me to buy tethering plan and that my tether has been blocked. Before on LJ1 stock rom with nard's LJ1 tethering fix, I didn't have any such problems... can someone please help?

Broken S Relay 4G:

I was wondering why my front camera didn't work anymore and why my LED indicator didn't work anymore either. Now I realized that also the normal speaker for calls doesn't work anymore either.(I usually use a headset)

At first I thought, this might be a software issue and made a factory reset and installed a new firmware. (LJ1 rooted)

After taking the whole phone apart I saw, that part of the cable from the phone to the display is broken.(you can see it in the picture)

Unfortunately I bought the phone in LA last year but live in Germany. Anyone has a clue, if I can buy only the cable somewhere on the internet?

I guess, T-Mobile will give me a hard time, sending evverything in and getting a new phone back.

any Ideas?

ciao FSG
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Jax184:
I've not personally checked, but I suspect the cable can be replaced without needing to get an entire screen. The trick will be finding someone who has the cable for sale.

Hey guys. I have a recovery problem. No matter how many times I flash CWM, it doesn't work. I have a hard time getting into recovery from boot. If I use the terminal to reboot recovery, I get what looks like stock recovery, not CWM. It can't install anything, always says signature verification failed. What's going on? How can I get a working recovery? I've tried odin different CWM files for this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gutbomb:
Try unchecking the "auto reboot" option in odin and when odin is done flashing reboot it manually yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] slartibartfast42:
I tried that during one of my tries. It didn't work. I did fix it though. I found a dd command in this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1652735

I had to change the device names, but it worked. It installed CWM, which I used to install TWRP. After the backup, I can finally get CM10.1. I've been running rooted stock. It had tried to do an OTA update at one point, and that messed the recovery up.

Those are CWM flashable. You need to Odin on CWM as part of the rooting process. After that, you can switch to the more up to date CWM, or get TWRP.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] xdoza:
Hi guys! I'm a proud owner of a relay I bought from ebay (following some of SpaceSpeed advices ;)). Before buying it I asked the seller for the IMEI, and checking here http://www.checkesnfree.com/ didn't have a bad one, so I took the risk. Although I live in south america, it's good to have it not blacklisted in case I need to travel to US (and until now it reamins not blacklisted ;)).

Now I have the phone in my hands and have some questions if you don't matter.

1) The phone is not locked so right now I can't use it here. Is there any easy/right way to unlock it, or i have to contact some service through ebay? (I have the original t-mobile sim card inside the box, doesn't know if would help having it.)

2) How about rooting the phone? Is that needed for removing some of the bloatware? Does it have any more benefits besides changing firmware?

3) Although I don't want to change firmware right now, I would like to make a Stock ROM Firmware/ factory/backup image (I don't know exactly what's the name is) of the phone in it's current state just in case. Can I do that? Is this a good practice or I'm being too cautious?

Sorry if the questions seems so newbie or had been answered before, but although being a developer (so I don't mind breaking things ;)), it's my first smartphone and I'm migrating from a motorola v3!!! And apologize for my english.

Kind regards, and thanks in advance for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Jax184:
You can unlock it yourself for free, yes. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36400199&postcount=783 - this method works on our phones. To reiterate, do the following.

Start the phone up with no SIM or the T-Mobile SIM.

Enter the phone dialer.

Dial *#197328640#

A screen will suddenly appear that says ServiceMode

Tap [1] UMTS

Tap [1] DEBUG SCREEN

Tap [8] PHONE CONTROL

Tap [6] NETWORK LOCK

Tap [3] PERSO SHA256 OFF

Wait for 30 seconds.

Tap the menu button (to the left of the home button) and select back.

Tap [4] NW LOCK NV DATA INITIALLIZ

Wait for 1 minute, then turn the phone off.

Now you can turn it back on with your local SIM card and it should work.

You can disable some of the factory bloatware from the settings menu, others require you to root the phone. Rooting will also allow you to run certain apps that need more control over your phone to work. This doesn't matter to everyone.

You shouldn't need to back up the current firmware. If you screw it up, you can reflash the phone with one of the stock images posted here with Odin/Heimdall.

Audio buffering

Greetings,

I tried posting this to the development thread, but since I have fewer than 10 posts I'm currently not allowed. Re the CM 10.1 build, is there any way (probably in the kernel source) to adjust the amount of buffering that is done before the device's speaker emits its output? The default seems to be around 500 mS, and that's the only thing the G2 does better imho than the Relay. I'm happy to experiment with this myself assuming I can get a working CM 10.1 build environment set up on my machine.

Thanks,

Steve
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] xdoza:
Hi Jax, thanks for your response.

After following the steps, rebooting and putting my sim card, i get an " SIM network unlock PIN". Does this mean I don't follow the steps right?

By the way, after pressing Tap [3] PERSO SHA256 OFF, Waiting for 30 seconds, tap menu and then back, and finally Tap [4] NW LOCK NV DATA INITIALLIZ, I'm getting this message, is this normal?

Menu Not Exist

Press Back Key

Current Command is 118634

Then I tried the steps a second time, but after pressing [3] PERSO SHA256 OFFm I get this message "SHA256_OFF => Not change".

Any advice?

==========

After getting the "SHA256_OFF => Not change" message with the new SIM, I press home, back, and tap again the option [4] NW LOCK NV DATA INITIALLIZ. Now this time doesn't show the "menu not exist" message. After waiting one minute and rebooting, me phone is unlocked and doesn't ask for the unlock pin!!

CWM Recovery Install Help

Just got my Relay last night (LH1,) and I'm having trouble getting the CWM recovery installed.

I can boot into the stock recovery just fine, I'm using heimdall (compiled from latest git source) to flash cwm-apexqtmo-2012-10-11.img and it reports success, but I can't get it to reboot into anything other than the stock recovery or stock ROM after it's complete. I've tried heimdall with --no-reboot, rebooting manually or pulling the battery, and still nothing seems to work, I just get stock recovery again.

Does anyone have any suggestions to get CWM booting, or any other method that I can use to get my stock, un-rooted Relay running CM 10.1? Preferably ways that don't require a Windows computer?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] stephenclower:
Is Odin via WINE an option for you?

Steve
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nexox:
I can come up with a Windows computer if it's really necessary, is Odin going to work better than heimdall?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gee one:
What command are you using? Heimdall flash --recovery file.img ?? I never had any luck with that and have to flash by (partition) number.

Add --verbose to give you something to read while it flashes. Which version of heimdall? RC1.4?

sent while running with scissors
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nexox:
heimdall commit 9d7008e4ba010162945d985adf560dce7274bc00, from Feb 2, which is 1.4 RC2.

I used: heimdall flash --recovery cwm-apexqtmo-2012-10-11.img --verbose

I'll try doing it by partition number tonight, when I get home from work. It looks like from my PIT file dump that's I should use partition 18, does that sound right?

Also, how long should it take to flash? It only takes about 10 seconds, which seems a bit quick to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] stephenclower:
I seem to recall that you had to use a very specific version of heimdall to successfully flash CWM, but I forget the specific version requirement now. I've used Odin on my Windows box at work, and it worked perfectly the first go round. So, I don't know if one works better than the other, but the latter succeeded for me.

Also, be sure you're flasing the .tar and not the .zip.

HTH,

Steve
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nexox:
Well, that was weird. Odin got me the same thing that heimdall did - just a reboot into stock recovery every time. Eventually I gave up and decided to apply the OTA update, just to see what would happen, and when I went to install that, I ended up in CWM. From there I installed CM10.1, and now it appears to be booting.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nexox:
I tried that before I tried Odin, I could still only get to the stock recovery. Since I did eventually get CWM running, I know it flashed properly, I just couldn't get it to boot for some reason.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Jason78729:
Try puuting a cwm flash able recovery on your sdcard. Then flash a recovery with Odin or heimfall to get into clockworkmod recovery. Then try flashing the recovery with cwm. Let us know if that worked.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nexox:
Well, my issue was that I couldn't ever get into CWM recovery by rebooting with Volume Down, Menu, Power - I'd just get stock recovery every time.

When I tried to apply the OTA update, that some how booted me into CWM recovery, and I installed CM10.1 from my SD card, and now everything is good, except that the recovery mode key-combination boot still bring me to the stock recovery. I can, however, use ROM Manager to boot into CWM Recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Jason78729:
Recovery is volume up, home, and power.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nexox:
Welp, yeah, that'd be my problem, thanks. I swear I read the instructions like 15 times, in 5 different places, and still I missed that.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] RazoE:
Remember guys to reboot into recovery without all the extra hassle just use terminal emulator type in :

"su" (to grant super user access) and press enter then type:

"reboot recovery" and press enter

Everything should be typed with lowercase letters and no quotes

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Jax184:
Either of those links will give you what you want.

In the second link, LJ1 Stock ROM is an image of the latest original firmware, and Odin is the tool used to install it. The other things there are an image of an earlier original firmware, and patches for the stock firmware to allow tethering, rooting, and custom recovery. You don't NEED these, but they're good to have.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] RazoE:
The latest original firmware is MA2, not LJ1, but honestly there aren't many changes that'll be missed..
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] xdoza:
Hi Jax, thank you once again.

About tethering, I see this option in my current firmware (I have the MA2). Is the fix really needed, or this 'tethering' i have on my phone will only work if i have a t-mobile plan (which I obviously don't have it cause I'm not in the US)?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Jax184:
Sorry, forgot about MA2.

Tethering is present on the phone, but is deactivated by T-Mobile. Try turning it on and you should see that it turns itself right back off. I'm on Wind and I had to install the tethering fix to make use of it.

You could remove it, but I'm unsure why you'd want to. And while I think there's a way to reset the flash counter, I can't personally confirm it.

I'm getting problems trying to have root in my relay (with original t-mobile firmware) with the odin method. The drivers of the relay are correctly installed.

I activate usb debug and restart the phone in download mode (vol down+home+power); In the screen I can see the "odin mode... downloading, do not turn off target".

But when starting odin 3.07 in my windows 7 machine, it seems to not recognize the phone; if I choose the cwm.tar in phone section and press start, i got this message

It's strange, I'm only trying to flash cwm and super user to become root, i don't want to change stock firmware right now.

By the way, with odin 3.04 i have the same behaviour. The strange thing is i don't see any kind of activity in odin when started. Is there any previous requirement for it? Maybe i'm missing some other library or app before? I only have drivers installed (i think that are correctly installed cause I can charge and browse my phone when connected to usb).
