[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WATWATWATWAT:
It seems I soft-bricked my samsung captivate (SGH-I897) using odin oneclick to flash to stock eclair from stock gingerbread. When attempting to boot now i can only enter the infamous alternate download mode (phone--/!\--computer). My computer will detect and attempt to install the proper drivers but i always end up with unknown device in the device manager. I have tried installing a number of different drivers and none have worked. I made a jig that i cant get to function and have tried using the one click unbrick utility to no avail...help?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Two things to try first:

1. Use a Heimdall-based one-click. They operate differently, and may work for you.

2. Use a full Heimdall or Odin package. Some newer phones don't like the one-clicks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WATWATWATWAT:
I can't get odin or heimdall to detect my device regardless of the drivers i use or the usb port i use.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Be patient and persistent. If you need more things to try, look at the "Captivate Connection Issues" thread stickied at the top of the General section.

hi after i unroot and lock htc explorer the bootloader showing relocked status. i have some issue with camera. how can i set this locked if i want to go for warrenty. i have indian version of htc explorer. thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] SimonTS:
Suspecting that you used HTCDev to unlock your phone - you can't. If you used HTCDev then HTC already have a record of your phone's IMEI so your warranty is voided. It is one of the first rules of rooting - never do it if you can't afford to lose your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Jeet Chowdhury:
:( its just 3 days old phone... so bootloader can be unlocked without htcdev.com?
[General Questions and Answers] SimonTS:
So you had the phone for three days and already used HTCDev to unlock it?
[General Questions and Answers] Jeet Chowdhury:
yes actually i want to install some indian languages which is not supported by htc explorer. so i am getting some boxes than texts. then i have noticed my camera quality is dark, where my friends htc explorer camera working just fine... :( will they repair it?
[General Questions and Answers] SimonTS:
Unlikely. If I were you I would just do a factory reset and take it back to the shop you bought it from - hope they don't notice that you've messed around with it. If you've only had it for three days then surely they should just replace it for you?
[General Questions and Answers] Jeet Chowdhury:
will it start after factory reset. i read that after factory reset it will not start just bootloop. whats that mean?
[General Questions and Answers] SimonTS:
Where did you read that? If you've not flashed a custom ROM then you probably don't actually need to do a factory reset either. Just take it back to the shop, tell them it's not good enough and you want a replacement. Don't let them try to send it for repair, just demand a direct replacement that works properly.
[General Questions and Answers] Jeet Chowdhury:

Is there no working way to lock the bootloader? I recently saw a tut on theunlockr.com regarding the same.

[HTC EVO 3D] bobee:
Hi, My rogers Evo 3D (S-ON, unlocked bootloader, Hboot 1.49.0008) is getting bootloops and when I enter fastboot I can flash a recovery image and it says it succeeded yet when I enter recovery it just goes back to the HTC bootloop. I have tried flashing the stock rom by putting PG86IMG.zip on my SD and it installs 'successfully', but when I reboot it goes to the bootloop again... Any help would be appreciated :)

Sorry, it seems the last person to own this phone had taken it apart to try and fix it (the problem was a faulty battery, so I got it cheep ;) ) but when re-assembling it they forgot to put one of the cables to the screen back, so the phone must have been searching for hardware that wasn't there, resulting in an error, and causing a re-boot. All fixed now :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagles16:
been out of the xda scene for a bit and definitely need a new rom

i'm currently on CM9 alpha-6 and get just awful battery life, less than 4 hours.

What rom should i look at for good battery life and a less buggy experience?

also, i'm not very familiar with a lot of the stuff here, but are there any things i can do to increase signal strength, my brother on the 4s on the same network will have service in places where i get no service etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pyrotoast:
on cm9 alpha 6 you really shouldn't be getting battery that low... I could get two days with about 2 hours screen time back when I was running it. Turn off haptic feedback and LED notification and it will help. If I recall correctly the led light prevents the phone from going into deep sleep. Also, keep auto sync off and battery will improve dramatically... Furthermore, most of the newer builds (including the cm9 nightlies) have governors by which you'll be able to optimize your battery life. Anything with one of agat's source built kernels, one of chris41g's kernels or the kuban kernel will do... Just make sure you use a kernel that is compatible with the Rom you choose. however, ics is a "heavier" os than gingerbread, so getting gingerbread battery life isn't likely.

I've used most of the ROMs and I can't say that I notice too much of a difference in battery life on them (apart from builds before source dropped). Maybe an hour or so, but without consistent usage it's really hard to tell... I suppose I would suggest Black, Calk& Venum tweaked or the blu kuban. I'm getting good battery like on black, and the dark theme obviously helps battery... Kuban is also pretty dark too, and Ruj is really involved in his thread. I put my brother on kuban and he's not complaining about his battery anymore so I guess it's better than what he was on before (one of the early ics leaks). Calk and Venum tweaked has calk's legendary battery tweaks so you won't hurt there.

As to your signal strength, make sure you update prl and profile... If you stay on cm9 youll need to use el29 temp boot in order to do so. I know sprint updated their prl so you are definitely on an outdated one if you've been on alpha 6 since june when it dropped... Also mess around with modems till you find one that responds well.

Apples to oranges.. different hardware = different experiences.. Either shoot him, convert him or join him on that one.. You pick.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MondoMor:
I was looking through the BOM for the Galaxy Nexus, and apparently it uses the SiRFstarIV device for GPS.

That device (like any modern GPS chipset) supports WAAS/EGNOS, which offers a nice increase in precision. My Garmin handhelds will eventually tune into satellites 46, 48 or 51 which supply the data used for the WAAS correction. They're in a geostationary orbit over the western hemisphere, so they are always present in the sky.

But I never see those birds on any Android device, and no GPS app I have seen has advertized WAAS. Why not? The hardware supports the feature!

I was hoping to answer this question myself by looking at the source code; but I have no experience with large software projects (or Git) and I haven't been able to find a "driver" yet by browsing source repositories. Would anyone be willing to "hold my hand" a little to guide me towards the relevant sources?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenMGP:
I would like to do a complete back up of the kernel, rom, apps, data, etc. and move it all over to another Nexus 7.

Is it possible to do a complete backup and restore via USB? Backup to Desktop, and then restore into the new 7?

If so, what is the best way?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianjr1:
If you use an older version of cwm (pre 6.x.x.x) it will create a single backup file instead of the current system with the blobs folder. However I would be very wary of moving one backup to another
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenMGP:
Let me explain. I am replacing my Nexus 7 with a new one, and don't want to have to set it all up again because it's perfect right now :(

No clean way to do this? I have to just rebuild it all over again on the new 7?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
If you are rooted, you can almost do it that easy, but you would need to unlock and root the new device first, install recovery and then move the saved nandroid backup to the new device and use recovery to restore that and you would have a copy of your old device on the new one.

The last time I did that,I was up and running on the new device in about 15-20 mins.

If you are not rooted, there is another method, but I've never actually tried doing it, so I don't know how well it works.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
I'm getting the SIII this weekend (if all goes according to plan) and I'm just wanting to confirm a few things:

Is it correct that things are basically the same in terms of rooting, etc. as they were on the SII?

If I still have Odin and the drivers installed, shouldn't I just be able to use the same Samsung driver setup to work with the SIII?

What's the best/easiest way to backup the EFS folder? I have used the EFS Pro backup tool for the SII successfully, but I'm not sure if it supports the SIII or if there's something similar.

Which current ROM would give me the most consistent ICS experience with stock components? (I generally prefer stock ROMs)

I'll probably need a SIM unlock also, but I want to backup EFS before I do try it. Which method is best for SIM unlock?

I appreciate all suggestions offered.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Yes, as with all Samsung Galaxy devices it boils down to flashing the kernel / recovery through Odin and then using CWM for any further customizations. Samsung uses an open bootloader, so no hassle.

No, every device has it's own drivers. Windows7 should be able to download and install them on it's own though.

Look in the General section, there's a thread with most relevant tools.

Copying the folder or partition per hand through Terminal Emulator is an alternative.

I liked Omega ROM, but since it'll be a new device you can safely try out a few and see which one comes to your taste.

You can also remain stock-only with only Root since the ROM itself is pretty good. You should freeze/remove the apps you don't need though to free up some RAM.

Voodoo unlock doesn't work with the newest Samsung update, but afaik there are solutions to that issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
One good thing about the GS3 is that you don't have to match your CF-Root to your stock ROM. The same CF-Root will work with every stock GT-I9300 Samsung firmware.

Wasn't as simple with the GS2.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
Thanks guys. I'll probably start with CF-Root and experiment with Siyah. My wife will be taking over the SII as part of my SIII purchase negotiations.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
Do I understand correctly that CF-Root is not actually a kernel but that it can be flashed to give root and cwm recovery?

I installed beanstown rom in clockwork recovery and everything was working fine. I then decided to try the latest synergy rom and everything worked great as well untill I realized that I could no longer respond to text messages. I did flash the text message bug fixer in clockwork ahead of time. I also noticed that I couldn't make any phone calls. I then restored my previous backup with beanstown rom and problem carried over.

Any ideas?

Ok so I dabbled into some Linux and now I want to get back to windows7. I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop and i have the product key. the only thing I dont have is a restore disc. So my question is if I install a bought over the counter Windows disc, can I use my product key to activate it.

* I have the product key

* I can get a "stock" windows 7 installer disc

any advice would be appreciated. thanks.

As long as it's the same version of Windows 7 (Home, Pro, Enterprise etc.) then you should be okay. But, if you're going to buy Windows 7 then that will come with it's own key. You won't need the old one.

Yes, actually laptops that coming with Genuine Windows is for lifetime.

That is, even if you format your HDD, you can still use your Genuine Windows with the unique product key given to you (Could be found on the laptop backside I guess)

[Off-topic] coolsandie:
I guess any Windows 7 Home Premium disc should do the trick.
[Off-topic] SimonTS:
Actually, you will probably find that the licence key won't work with a normal copy of Windows 7 Home Premium - they are different things. You will, almost certainly, either have to make some changes in your registry to convince Windows to let you use your code on that version of Windows, or phone Microsoft and give them a sob-story about your hard-drive having died and you having no backups.

Mind you, not taking a backup was pretty silly really - a bit like rooting your phone and flashing a custom ROM without taking a Nandroid backup first.
[Off-topic] magicriggs:
this is what im afraid of ;(

You'll have had a OEM version of W7 Home Premium, which is different to the retail version.

Contact Toshiba and order replacement recovery discs, or find someone else with the same model Toshiba and create recovery media from them.

Just got my third n7. I've had a c60 model and a c70 model both with the screen lift issue. Finally got a replacement to the replacement today and was delighted to see no problems...until I turned it on.

Immediately the screen looked dimmer.

I've now done a side by side comparison, checking whether it is the auto light sensor but its dimmer on all settings.

Has anyone else noticed this? Is it a result of different screens they are using or have I just got another duff model?

I've attached a picture showing both on the lowest light setting so hopefully you can see I'm not just being paranoid.
