[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jurjengroendijk:
Dear experts,

A few days ago I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 using the steps as described here on this site (androidadvices.com/root-galaxy-official-pack-xxjw4-236-firmware/2/#.UDxXlsEaPSg) using Odin and the "CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS.rar". This worked perfectly :good:

Shortly after that I decided to unroot my telephone. Actually I don't know why I did it, but I did..... :crying:

Anyway, when I realised that I was stupid :silly: to unroot my telephone, I decided to root my phone again the same way. All seemed to go well, but after rebooting the phone it appears not to be rooted.

Can anyone please help me out here? What did I do wrong? Odin3 v1.81 ran well, I think. The screen showed the green box in the top-left saying "PASS!" 0:7

The message box of Odin showed:

ID:0/005 Added!!

ID:0/005 Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..

ID:0/005 File analysis..

ID:0/005 SetupConnection..

ID:0/005 Initialization..

ID:0/005 Get PIT for mapping..

ID:0/005 Firmware update start..

ID:0/005 zImage

ID:0/005 Completed..

OSM All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)

ID:0/005 Removed!

(also see attachment for screenshot)

What I saw/checked this morning was that the unroot-file I used is probably meant for the SGS I9001 (cdn.androidadvices.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/UnRoot-i9001-Signed.zip) and not for the I9000. Did I go wrong there? Or doesn't this make a difference? My god, what did I do :crying:

Other facts:

-the CWM is still on my phone from the last root

-"Tweaks" is still on my phone from last root

-Firmware 2.3.6

-Baseband version I9000XXJW4

-Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJW4-CL1043937 se.infra@SEP-62 #2

Buildnumber GINGERBREAD.XWJW5

Can anyone help me out here to get my phone rooted again? Would resetting my phone help me out? In fact I did that already during the unroot-process, so that probably wouldn't help (?).

I hope your expertise can help me out here! :fingers-crossed:

Kind regards,

Jurjen

Hello. Couldn't post there in Developm thread, so hope it gets picked up here.

Currently running the CM10 ROM, of Aug 19. All works well - wifi included - although seems a little laggy past few days.

Wondering if the Aug 27 build will improve on the already great build BUT - need to know if Hidden SSIDs can be connected to.

Somebody pls?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] bedspacer2001:
aorth new build

New builds

Hey, folks. Here are some new builds I just put together. New CM10 boot animation, back to old wifi driver (this should be more stable, but apparently can't connect to hidden SSIDs).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] dyelen:
Thanks Am aware of that - is the reason I asked.

Yesterday, I installed RootBox Ics 1.7. Aroma edition. I like it really much, but one of the reasons I installed it is Hspa+ support. But, Hspa+ still isn't working, so I starded digging and found some 2 files unders Hspa+ support in Update Me app. But I have no idea what to do next, what to download... Can anyone help me?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
dwnld both the Files to the dwnld folder on ur phone.

1) copy the first file ie 'Rild' to system/bin folder using root explorer and set the permission to 755 (rwx r-x r-x)

2) copy the second file ie " libsec-ril.so" to system/lib folder using rootexplorer and set its permission to 644 (rw- r-- r--)

then reboot phone and see:)

I think the apk would be listed as com.android.picasa.apk, Im guessing your using a root explorer to find this as its well hidden. But I've always used ROM Toolbox Lite from the market and that has a brilliant app manager to remove system applications with ease. Hope this helps.

Why does it bother you so much? Just curious.
[Motorola Photon 4G] amitranjan:
Hi , this is my first article and I hope its a good start for me as an Android Enthusiast :laugh: :laugh: . In this post, I am trying to help:D those user who don't need bloatwares from Sprint or USC etc and want to stick with their stock roms or not interested in such stuffs. I own a Photon 4G Sprint Version that I imported from US and using in India. While doing experiments on that phone I did made him die but with due help from XDA members like Lokifish, mof9336, Acvice, and peetr_, I got my MoPho back. Thanks once again.

So I would request the users thinking of upgrading stock to Custom... think

1. Do you really need that.. ?:eek::eek::eek::eek:

2. If yes and then unwanted softwares:mad: :mad: :mad: are the reason. That you dont want to see.

3. or The phone performance is bad or some hardware are not functioning properly {then do try Upgrading with ROMS either official or Unofficial}:cyclops:

Yes Iknow, upgrading to custom rom is good, but it generally comes with warning like Do On your own risk,, If bricked we are not responsible like wranings. But generally these things happens rarely to those who dont follow the steps properly {of course including me :D }. So to keep your phone as it was and use without any issues,i would recommend you to Root your phone and remove all unwanted softwares.

So lets begin the chapter.

1. The first and Foremost thing is to root your phone. As per my experience if you are on 2.5.4_13 Sprint {locked} .. photon torpedo rooting works perfectly using terminal emulator. You can find tons of tutorials on Photon Torpedo

2. From the Playstore download and install XDA Assistant. Its a all in one utility for rooted phone.

But Still I warn, Uninstallation too has side effects. So if you un-installed any required component... be careful. :cool:

Please give more details about which applications are safe to remove
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Check the list in the Live ROM thread
[Motorola Photon 4G] oldredhat:
Checking the list I see that SystemUI is listed for the photon. What does that actually do?
[Motorola Photon 4G] MarcquisDale:
Its pretty much anything with the status bar
[Motorola Photon 4G] oldredhat:
Then would removing it leave one without a Status Bar?
[Motorola Photon 4G] pradeeppk:
Don't remove system UI, statusbar.apk

Hi,

I use the headset button to control my music. From what I have figured out, one press pauses/plays music... two fast presses skips the track... I have tried this, and it works. But sometimes when I double tap the button, it starts ringing the last person I called :confused: Can I turn this off? This is really annoying, I seriously do not see why anyone would want this feature.

Iv'e tried one of those headset button apps, and wasn't very impressed, It only worked half of the time.

I mainly just want to stop the button calling people :eek:

Anyone any idea? :P

Thanks.
[HTC One X] Brantyr:
If you're using PowerAMP try turning on the 'High Priority' headset button handler. If that doesn't work or you have any other music player there's a free app called 'JAYS Headset Control' (works for any headset not just JAYS). Also has a lot of customisation you can do to your headset button actions :).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] droideastcoast:
LG has updated the ROM for this phone to Ver: Android v2.3.6 - LGC800G-V10k-AUG-24-2012) V10K_00.kdz. I have posted all the links for all Carriers of this phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RennyC:
Thanks. Should mention to others this will replace your ClockWorkMod so reinstall it that after flashing to this firmware.

I learned the hard way :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] droideastcoast:
:good: Thanks will do so and give you the credit. :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RennyC:
Thank you.

Anyways, I managed to get my phone working again by flashing it via USB while it was turned off showing the battery charging screen; so if all else fails anyone is able to recover using KDZ on that screen.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] droideastcoast:
Your welcome. Yes I have. I have also flashed without battery in ((NOT RECOMMENDED)).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GeekyKitty:
So does this essentially unroot your phone or is it basically another ROM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] droideastcoast:
Both roms will Format & rewrite everything so back up everything then root it again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jayguilderson:
id like to give a big thanks to all you guys on this one and like to add a note for any won with the same issue i had ... if you use the lg update tool and it crashes it will lock you on the s/w update screen ... if this happens use the instructions above and dont panic ... 15 min i was back up and laphing so major credit to all involved ....can we now get some custome striped down roms for this device so we can run unbuntu as a full replacment for android ..if any one is up to doing that please email me thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] everett1911:
I had a problem, I had flashed the wrong recovery on my phone, that of the lg optimus 2x, and it had bricked my phone and I was stuck with a paperweight, but then I learned of the S/W button combination-- hold volume up, E on the keyboard and the power button. the phone booted into software upgrade mode, and with this utility I was able to flash a stock rom back into the phone, which also replaced the incorrect recovery.

The only thing that has to be changed is that you need to use the CS_EMERGENCY mode instead of DIAG, or else it won't work.

so if you ever find yourself in that situation, grab your carrier's stock rom and do what I did. I have a working phone after over two months of not being able to use it thanks to that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lasportsfan:
Whats up guys :)

Anyone have a re up of the stock virgin mobile firmware?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nixcamic:
Anyone know where I can get a copy of the ABWADG firmware? Also, how do I confirm that my phone is in fact ABWADG, as far as I know it was bought through Sasktel but I'm not 100% sure.

Found it, enter your IEMI here: http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/country.php?country=Canada and you'll get a download link to the .kdz file.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZackFearheart:
Okay, I know this won't improve battery life in the end, But is it good to run one of those apps after doing a fresh ROM wipe? I know that if you don't, It can report false battery readings and cause it to appear to be dying faster than normal, etc.

What's a good app to use? Is it worth doing, or even needed?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Monkeymannnn:
Most if not all recoveries have a battery stats wipe included. Some ppl recommend doing it every time you flash a new ROM, but that's overkill and completely unnecessary. Certain ROMs will even just calibrate it themselves. I haven't noticed an improvement using it on either of the devices I've used, but if it makes you feel better charge it all the way, turn off the phone, replug the charger until the LED goes green again, boot into recovery, wipe battery stats and then let the battery discharge ALL the way.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
Also, as soon as your battery reaches a 100% the android os is supposed to wipe the battery stats...so if you flash on a full charge there is no need, even if you don't flash on a full charge...just charge it to a 100%, maybe do a reboot and charge again to make sure...

I've never done a battery stat wipe in my life, (well actually I've done a few back on my infuse in the begining of my flashing days) anyways...Ive pretty much never done battery stat wipes and I've never had any issues with battery readings, not on my vivid and not on my infuse...and sometimes I flash when I'm down to 15%!!! I only do that cause I'm confident I could fix a brick from a bad flash...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ess.boyer:
Wiping your battery stats is like throwing salt over your shoulder when you spill some. It's a superstition.

All the battery stats file does is keep track of which apps are using power and for how long (ie what's displayed on the Usage screen in the settings menu).

But you don't have to take my word for it... Google says so: http://www.androidcentral.com/wiping-battery-stats-doesnt-improve-battery-life-says-google-engineer
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] empire6:
[HTC Vivid] My battery life suddenly decreased by 60%. I know this thread is old as hell but figured out the problem for myself... The orange LED indicating a charge (or even the software) will say charging when it's not. I realized my charger was only halfway in the power strip.. turns out the outlet or cord was bad still not sure but yea.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dls5375:
Sorry if this has already been posted or in wrong section, and I take no credit for it but I found it to be pretty cool. To add soft keys to rooted stock touchwiz rom all you have to do is add this line to the build prop and reboot.

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ebuechler3:
Or you could just download "Soft keys" from the Play store!!!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dls5375:
You can do whatever you want.... I just thought it was interesting that it wasn't completely disabled and was easily added...If you don't like it or have something else you use, that's great.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ebuechler3:
I usually disable my hard keys because i hate the recent app feature... My gf is waaay to nosy for me to have a recent app button on my phone.... I am also a faithful "hide it pro" user.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Hui91:
Download it, get the apk and zip it in the ROM, or you can use TB to integrate it into ROM.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dls5375:
Why would I do that? I just edited the build prop and it's there...... I understand there are other ways to get soft keys. But I wanted them built in like the galaxy nexus so when I found this mod I thought I'd share......
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] googlephone:
Agree with you. I am using the same method on my HD2 CM9 for 8 months now.

My SGS3 will arrive today and I am glad that this method will apply to rooted stock rom. Was wondering if this method CM rom only or also stock rom.

Thank you for your information.

IMO this method is way better than some softkey apps because it doesn't use ram and is native like.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nightfox11:
will this work on cm10?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] googlephone:
Not sure this will work on cm10.

But I found out another method for cm10: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1788780

How do you disable your hard keys?

I would love to disable my hard keys. I am new at this stuff, so forgive my ignorance.

I have a t-mobile unlocked 32gb white rooted with AOKP jellybean- 4th release

And I cannot find any other mods to the physical buttons, like making the home button a camera button. Not as important, but would love to know if you can tell me.

Thanks!

If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, tape. A lot of it.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Effan:
I came up with a crude but simple solution to the problem.

I superglued a few layers of thick paper on the edge of the battery (the edge oppositte to the contacts),

in such a way that it formed a small ridge towards the side which is towards the back of the phone. (see drawing).

In this way, the plastic rolling piece is held in place firmly.

(actually have to push the battery further in, just to be able to open it now).

I hope that it helps.

just put a guitar plec between the battery and the case that worked quite well for me.

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asovse1:
My battery was huge. And when its life ended, because it was a third party battery, I had to replace it. I didn't know about the red lever. So I just shook the phone in a very suggestive gesture for about 45 minutes when it finally got out far enough to pull out. And it took quite a bit of strength to pull out. Now there's a huge bulge on top the battery, which I'm keeping as a wallet support.

Good times. I love this phone!

Wow, this is weird..

Sorry, i can't help u a lot, but i can provide my step to flash those ROM:

1. Make sure your device is rooted and CWM 5 is installed

2. Place ROM in your SD card

3. Boot to CWM, wipe data, wipe dalvik cache

4. Select install from SD card

6. Then wipe data and wipe dalvik cache once again

7. Reboot your phone

Hope this is useful.

are u sure you are on S5830? its likely that u are since non-cm roms for s5830 worked on ur phone.

Try this make the 3 wipes before and after flashing the rom, sometimes i face bootloop because of not wiping after installing the rom. If this fails then how abt chnging ur SD card, although thats far fetched it might just fix the problem.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toni5830:
1-Stock based roms work?

2-Did you try doing "mount system" before flashing?

3-Does it say installation successful/finished/etc or are there problems??
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayush29k:
Are you saying that you format system, cache and data after flashing??

You just have to wipe dalvik, cache and factory reset after flashing, and even that is also not a compulsary step.
