It began with the moment when i was exchanging files. I removed USB & my phone hung.:confused: Then I tried to Reboot. It took lot of time, I hold on power key for 10 seconds. After then NO REBOOT & NO RECOVERY MODE but Download mode was working.:crying: I plugged in USB again, now recovery mode worked & I found my Sd-card corrupted. I flashed different ROM from my friend's backup. My phone successfully reached to homescreen.:victory: Further, I again reboot my phone without USB, again phone doesn't boot.:(

I plugin USB & now Recovery mode works & finally flashed another ROM. The biggest problem is "On every reboot, I need charging" which is very painful. Your reply is highly appreciated.

(Battery is working fine) [EDITED :- The problem is solved after changing the battery. It may be possible that the battery couldn't draw the enough power needed to trigger poweron]
[General Questions and Answers] aakashasaj:
Try re flashing your Recovery, Try some new version for it.

CWM(ClockWorkMod) would wok, try flashing it.

If all else fails flash back to stock and start over.
[General Questions and Answers] The-Hulk:
Have you tried removing your battery for 10 mins, or have you tried to flash a dffrent kernel through CWM.

Edit- this question should have been asked in the Q&A section of your phones forum.

Yes, yes, the factory must be returned to ROM (factory settings should be), it always works.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 6KayZee9:
I have a Koodo Samsung Galaxy 2x sgh-t989d. running ICS 404 .I have been attempting to root and run a custom mod.CM9

I installed cwm recovery and was able to root, but made a mistake and I dont believe cwm recovery was installed correctly as I was not properly in download mode when I ran odin.

Was able to achieve root, but phone had odd quirk that it would hang on shut down. Had to remove battery.

I installed cm9 but it hung on boot screen animation so i restored but the hang on shut off remained. I then attempted to reinstall CWM recovery again using odin. thinking it didnt install correctly the first time....bad idea

Result: now when I try to access CWM recovery the lines are double spaced and I cant do anything but reboot.

Is there a way to repair the cwm recovery or flash my phone back to stock?

I am a total noob and hope this is the right place for this and would very much appreciate any help I can get.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RTFOP:
If you're rooted you can download ROM Manager from Play, it will flash CWM for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 6KayZee9:
Thanks for the response. Unfortunately No I had tried to restore to factory because of the hanging on shutdown so I am stuck with the phone

unrooted

. I can access the CWM recovery folders via the sd card, so its really a matter of fixing the CWM install without root.

I have noticed that there is a koodo stock signed zip for my phone on this site which i have downloaded. Is there a way to flash that onto the phone bypassing CWM.

My phone is still operational and so I am a little afraid of making it worse.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
If you can get your phone in download mode and connect to odin the you should be able to restore back to stock rom/recovery and perhaps try the process again..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EnigmaticGeek:
+1 agreed

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 6KayZee9:
Yes, I can still get into download mode and hook to odin.

Oddly I installed CWM the first time with odin, in recovery mode I believe, and it installed with an error but it worked.

Reinstalling CWM using odin in download mode is what messed up CWM in the first place, so I was a little afraid to try it again..

I clicked pda and pointed towards recovery.tar.md5 as per instructions that I cant link to yet.

so your saying I should try it again?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 6KayZee9:
Thanks for your timet guys, How do I use odin to get back to stock? I know how to use CWM to do it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EnigmaticGeek:
this is for soft bricked, but it's exactly the same process.

Happy flashing!

Side note: make sure you run odin as admin, less likely to get errors. And i don't know much about koodo but i would assume that you would need their stock tar file for all this to work

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
I don't know if there is an odin flashable stock koodo rom in the development thread yet. You could need that to do it..

However if you are having problems with cwm there is an odin flashable twrp in the dev thread.. Once you install that you can flash superuser and root your phone.. Or even go back to cwm if you choose to
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 6KayZee9:
Cant find the file after searching, if anyone has it. On this thread it appears they are working on it but whats been posted is for a CWM recovery I believe. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1844657.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 6KayZee9:
I am reading up on twrp and will get back to you with ?? thanks again for the help.

Does TWRP use the same recovery tar files as CWM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
It doesn't use .tar files and neither does cwm I think what you are referring too is .zip files..

Unless specified you can flash anything in this forum with twrp. Some roms require cwm but once you have a working recovery on your phone you will easily be able to switch from one to the other

Here is a link to the thread you will find the odin flashable twrp file
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 6KayZee9:
Oops yes, sorry zip files.

Ok after a little research here is my plan. First to install TWRP 2.2 using odin (since I dont have root) from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1852753

and then use TWRP to install this stock original rooted koodo ICS 4.04 zip rom from here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1849748

will it work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
Yes it should work.. after you have twrp you can flash the stock koodo rom or any other rom for the T989/D or the Skyrocket but for the Skyrocket you will need the rotation fix that can be found by searching this forum

Oh and report back with your progress
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 6KayZee9:
Ok i will move forward then thanks.

First off in the instructions to install TWRP using odin it says to reboot to bootloader is that the same as download mode? Not taking chances at this point.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
Yes you need download mode to connect to odin..

Before you go further I just wanna clarify one thing.. Is it cwm on your device that is causing problems or are you just unrooted?.. Because if you are just unrooted then flashing a rooted rom will fix that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 6KayZee9:
So I googled it and supposedly

bootloader is recovery mode

, not download or odin mode in other words up and down plus start button. Is this right when I installed CWM with odin it was supposed to be in download mode??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 6KayZee9:
CWM is the problem if I boot into recovery mode the menu displays, but is double spaced and unresponsive as if its not loading correctly.

I am trying to get around not having a working version of cwm installed.

Now I am confused why the install instructions for TWRP say enter bootloader mode with odin ???? thanks for helping me here rymanh
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
You must be in download mode to use odin.. Otherwise it won't detect your phone...Open odin then Hold Vol down + power the release power once your phone vibrates then connect it to your computer with usb.. Then you should be connected
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 6KayZee9:
Ok so I installed TWRP in odin mode as suggested and it worked. Now if I enter bootloader or recovery mode TWRP runs :) first hurdle cleared. so I will try and flash the new rom now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
Glad it worked! Happy flashing!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 6KayZee9:
Ok so it all worked great, I am back in business, and my hanging on shutdown issue is gone.

thanks for all the help.

So now I have it back to stock and rooted.

One question: If I want to install cyanogen rom 9 for Hercules I can do that within TWRP ....a rom is a rom they are not CWM or TWRP specific?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
Yes.. You can use either one. Just remember to make a backup first. It will prevent problems

The only other advice I can give is to read, read, and read some more..

What I did when I first came to xda was look for posts that interested me and try to read as much of them as I could.. And the more you do that the more posts you will find that interest you and the more you will learn.. You won't be able to read an entire 500 page thread but just read as much as you can handle and move on.. And before you know it you will be the one telling someone how to use odin to fix their phone

I tried installing the htcdev hboot extracting the rom.zip -> PB99IMG.zip using a Goldcard and Fastboot yesterday.

All went fine, but after the reboot the screen just stayed black.

Now when I try to get into Hboot, Fastboot, or a regular boot - all that happens is a black screen.

When connectiong power without battery the leds flash green and orange (as normal) and it still charges the battery.

Any advice?

No buzz when trying to turn it on.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lazer Fazer:
I had the same problem about a year ago. Unfortunately it means the hboot flashing DIDN'T go fine. The HBOOT didn't flash, or got corrupted somehow, effectively leaving your phone as a brick. I took mine to the service provider and they did a motherboard swap under warranty. Sorry for the bad news, but from my experience there's no way to recover without opening up the phone.

No I couldn't, because it wouldn't boot past the HTC screen anymore without adb working (got the phone in that state).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PseudoBob:
Is anyone aware of an app (compatible with Gingerbread/2.3.6, rooted) that can temporarily install an app?

Even with Link2SD there's only so much internal space available and things get real hairy when you approach the limits (lib file extraction on startup faster than Link2SD can move things, data Link2SD can't/won't move, large apps that install to internal first, etc.)

( Something Google seemingly copied from Windows Mobile - it was a pain on WM, it's a pain on Android (pre-ics?) )

But many apps find rather infrequent use and so don't technically need to be installed at all until needed - at which point the install process (a few seconds) is quite acceptable.

Right now I manually install/uninstall but it would be awesome if there were an app that could automatically...

1. install an app from an APK

2. launch the app (where applicable)

3. uninstall the app when closed

Even more awesome would be if it could...

- Create an app itself with the icon from the original app (so that an 'uninstalled, but available' app can remain visible in launchers/etc.)

- Have a delay on the uninstall process (when just flipping back to a previous app, intending to go to the temp-installed app again within a time limit).

or

- Have a notification that could be tapped for uninstall on-demand

I did search, but between 'temporary root' and 'batch install' type apps popping up as results, I have not found what I'm looking for.

If such an app doesn't exist - could it?

And if you believe it could because you're a dev, would you be interested in developing it? ( my next stop after this would be hitting up e.g. vworker, so I'd be happy to fund initial development )
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vivek_bhoj:
try this app Quick App Install once:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitants.quickappinstall&hl=en
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PseudoBob:
Thanks - that app is definitely useful in terms of a nicer graphical interface to APKs stored on the SD card (finds them very quickly, originally made via App Backup & Restore), but unfortunately doesn't seem to do any of the things I was wondering about, unless I'm missing a hidden gem there :)

I also tried some other app backup/restore type apps in case any of them did the trick.. Delta Backup (com.ds.deltabackup), My Backup Root (com.rerware.android.MyBackupRoot), AppMonster Free Backup Restore (de.android_telefonie.appmanager) and Ti Backup (com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup), and while they were all capable app backup/restore apps, none of them really facilitate easy 'temporary install' or organization (long flat lists or "You get 2 categories: Apps and Games" make me just hit up Total Commander instead).

So, still looking :)
[G1 General] sousaptak:
hey guys I've seen many peoples face problems regarding changing their physical keyboard layout from QWERTZ to QWERTY , after a lot of googling & reading a lots of threads i finally found a solution , which consist of few simple steps . . .

things you'll need:

1. pc with ADB installed & working correctly.

2. a rooted G1, usb cable , & basic knowledge of ADB...

ok... so first u'll have to download the .zip file from bellow & then extact it then copy the four files to your android-sdk-windows\platform-tools folder...

then open command window & push these files into phone ...here are the commands ....

adb remount

adb root

adb push trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars/

adb push trout-keypad-qwertz.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars/

adb remount

adb root

adb push trout-keypad-v3.kl /system/usr/keylayout/

adb push trout-keypad-qwertz.kl /system/usr/keylayout/

after finishing pushing these files unplug the G1 & reboot .... now you have QWERTY layout with every character working correctly..

P.S: this layout may change other layouts to QWERTY , but i never tested , try at your own risk... there's a question i need to ask , does anyone happen know why does my g1 reverts to qwertz whenever i flash any new roms ? is there a permanent way to fix it ? btw if you found this post useful don't forget to push the thanks button :)
