[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edizarca:
Hello,

I'm not gonna panic, as I think Ive not bricked my phone YET.

Here is what I have done, I have a GALAXY S I9000.

Have been using it for quite some time now. 2 years ago, I have flashed it with - hardcore's kernel with the ClockworkMod Recovery - using Odin.

Today I decided to give Cyanogenmod a go, followed the steps here. - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide

Since I have the hardoce's kernel, I skipped this Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery - and moved on to - Flashing CyanogenMod.

I will go step by step from here.

Download the latest version of CyanogenMod.

Optional: Download the Google Apps for the device.

Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the internal memory.

Optional: Place the Google Apps .zip on the root of the internal memory also.

Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.

Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.

Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.

Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.

Select Install zip from sdcard.

done these, no problem so far.

[*]Select Choose zip from sdcard.

when I chose this, phone rebooted, it was so fast something may have come up and I didnt see.

Now I am stuck in a boot loop:

- Galaxy S I9000 samsung screen comes up, goes away for a second, comes up again.

- A page with code appearing from the bottom comes up really fast ( logo in the middle changes quickly) then it disappears.

- whole thing starts again.

UPDATE: I got a picture of the fast screen that comes up. : http://localhostr.com/files/b5NzFRy/2012-08-27 05.07.32.jpg

Some observations.

- I can go into download mode when opening it with the key combo.

- loop only stops when I unplug the battery

I need advice on what caused this and how to fix this, please help me.

Just flash it again ...see quick fix and solutions link below
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edizarca:
I cannot see what will help me on this page, but I understand how flashing again could work.

But how with the situation I have?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
are you not able to get into recovery? If only download than you need to get back to GB and than do a progressive update from GB to ICS to JB
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Melombine:
Flash it again. From what I've heard, it only flashes the kernel the first time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagothe9:
I had the same problem today with CM7 today. Just reboot in recovery and flash again cm zip, form there on everything is gonna run smooth!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anukilimanoor:
Installation Procedure for CM9

If you have CWM Recovery

Copy both zip files int internal SDCARD

Boot into recovery

Do a full wipe (data/factory,cache, dalvik)

Install zip from sdcard

Choose zip from sdcard

Select the ROM

You will get boot loop

Again boot into recovery

Install the same zip file one more time

Install google app

Do a full wipe again (data/factory,cache,dalvik)

Reboot your phone

Enjoy...

Hi,

I had the same pb coming from a GB ;)

I think this pb is very common

1) DON'T WORRY !

2) Unplug the battery when bootlooping

3) Put the SGS in Recovery Mode (the CWM's version has changed)

4) Select the CM .zip and flash it AGAIN

5) When it's done, reboot system

This time, everything shoot be OK

Just be carefull with your IMEI (always have a backup of EFS folder !)

Anyone have a trick yet for CM 10.1 v.22 Nightly, I keep getting a bootloop on all their versions except the original one. This is so frustrating because I have to keep going back to stock and then update to ICS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pltumangday:
Same here, after the Samsung and CM logos, and splash animation, it says :

"Encryption unsuccessful.

Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accessible.

To resume using your phone, you must perform a factory reset...."

After I tap Reset phone, it goes to CWM recovery.

Do the factory reset and the same thing occured in loop.

I came from JVU and CF root.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wstruction:
How long should the first boot take after following these steps? And does it have to be from SDCARD, because I can't get the rom onto my sd card, I can only do it via usb otg cable

Does it have to be from the sdcard or can you do it from a flash drive via usb otg. I cannot get the rom onto my sd card

The same thing happend to me.

Just plug out the battery and flash again on cwm recovery.

Hi,

I've just upgraded my xperia S to ICS and realized that the upgrade had rendered my quick launch camera button half functional. It opens the camera app half the time and the other times, I'll have to press it twice. Is there a fix for that?

Best of GB .73 (DK v4) Best of ics .45 (stock kernel.sin and rooted rom)
[Android Software Development] KaktusHater:
Hi.

A while ago (2 years ago) I created a service-only app and targeting 2.2

But now when I use the same method to create a similar service targeting up to 4.0.3 it does not start.

I searched and I have read very blurry answers that after 3.1 the service must have an activity to even launch.

Previously it always started with an BOOT_COMPLETE intent. And my dummy code is succesfully starting this way on 2.1 and 2.2 in AVD.

But in 4.0.3 the intent is never fired.

Doeas somebody have any concrete answer to this?

OR even better (if it exists) a small explaination on howto make an service that not have an icon and starts at boot, that works on 4+.

Much appriciated. :fingers-crossed:
[Android Software Development] KaktusHater:
Nobody?
[Android Software Development] trevd:
Give it time sir ;) I faced this problem a while back. If I recall the service has to be run first, in essence pre-approved before It will handle boot_complete broadcast. From what I gather this is a security feature introduced in ICS to stop "silent" rogue apps running at boot time. Also it need to be installed in internal storage because boot_completed is fired before external storage is mounted as explained in this document on the android developer site

This Stackoverflow post might shed some light on your query , I think It also gives sound reasoning towards why you should have an Icon.

If you're really intent ( no pun intended :laugh: ) on not having an Icon, there's a couple of things to try,

You may be able to get around including an activity by signing your apk with the platform keys, obviously this is only an option if you have the platform key which is normally only the case if you've built a custom rom from source

If that is not an option removing <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> will remove you app from the launcher but that would mean you would have to find a way of firing the activity on installation.

I've not tested either of them, but they both sound quite plausable ( to me at least :) ) . I'll leave this voyage of discovery to you

Good Luck!

Cornerstone roms are typically done by Team EOS, but I don't know that they've done one for the nexus.

It's not really all that helpful though when I've tried it. I prefer just using the recent apps button.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneabove:
Huh? It was a comment on how many people ignore the rules of this forum and how its getting a little out of hand..

Anyways now that this is in the right section, I believe cornerstone is a dying effort since it doesn't seem to be very well optimized, i think it needs to be restarted from the ground up, also noting that the original team seems to have abandoned jt
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YIp712:
So cornerstone has to be abandoned.

Does anyone know that is it possible to work like the multi screen function of Note 10.1?

It should be helpful that tablet can have a real multitasking function.

So I followed the instructions to unroot my HOX and it does show relocked. The issue I am having is returning my Rogers HOX back to factory, when I choose recovery it comes back to the fastboot screen and does not recover. Secondly doing it from storage factory data reset does the exact same thing. Finally if I try to do the ota update it does the same thing boots into fastboot.

Please help

Hello all, currently I having Sprint service. My contract have ended for almost a year. I have been active looking, waiting to get a new phone and switch to Simple Mobile.

I have decide SG3 GSM/I9300/I747 Qual & 2GB (Mable White) is the phone I really wants. I am sick of getting my phone lock in. The cheaper I found online right now was $608. Can I possible get cheaper? Any tips on how?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
If you're planning on using Simple Mobile, then you don't want the GT-I9300 or the SGH-I747. You want the SGH-T999. You'll be stuck with a combination of EDGE and/or no data service if you put an I9300 or I747 on Simple Mobile. An unlocked T999 would be your best bet. The T999 is already configured to access Simple Mobile's 3G/4G network. The I9300 and I747 are not. Hop on over to the T999 forum and check on some prices.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SGT2012:
Thank so much you are a life saver.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
No problem man.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SGT2012:
A dumb question. If I decide to get GT-I9300 mean I can't get 3G/4G speed with Simple mobile service right?

When I look at the SGH-t999 spec indicate "No" 4G LTE and have Adreno 225 GPU rather than Mali-400MP.

I felt that GT-I9300 is slight better. So is there a way to get around it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
The T999 is capable of 4G HSPA+, not 4G LTE. As for the T999's GPU, the Snapdragon S4 has more than enough kick to give you what you're after. Plus, you'll be getting an extra GB of RAM and 4G data. If Simple Mobile is what you want, get the T999... that's what the T999 was designed for.

On the other hand, you could get the I9300, which is slightly faster. However, you'll be stuck with half the RAM and 2G EDGE data only. The I9300 was designed with standard global GSM/HSPA+ networks in mind (like AT&T's); not AWS GSM/HSPA+ networks (like Simple Mobile's).

It's a square peg/round hole situation. The T999 is the peg you need... and it doesn't even have to be unlocked to work on Simple Mobile.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SGT2012:
Hi sorry to bother you again,

GT-I9300 support 2100 Mhz band. Isn't T-Mobile have 3G/4G on 1700, 1900, 2100 Mhz band? Or I am wrong again?

PS:According to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1757755
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Yes, you're wrong again. The I9300 supports 2100MHz. However, T-Mobile's/Simple Mobile's 3G/4G network doesn't use 2100MHz; it uses 1700/2100MHz AWS. It's a huuuge difference!

You want the T999; not the I9300. If you want to use another carrier, then maybe the I9300 would be appropriate... but not on Simple Mobile.

Hey all, I have noticed a trend on both my GS2 and now my GS3, it would appear that certain apps would have low mic volume after installing clean builds of either CM9 or now CM10.

Does anyone know if a fix or has anyone else encountered this specific issue?

Again, my mic is just fine, I even went back to a TouchWIZ based ROM to confirm this, it would appear that in CM ROMs for some 3rd party apps, in this case Voxer, that the mic is turned down extremely low.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] williamvito:
And now the program will only produce audio via the earpiece with the MIUI ROMs, the mic is also EXTREMELY low. Does anyone have advice?

i was just about to post this! what's going on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pastert33:
I'm really surprised by all the ppl that flash a ROM without reading through a thread...CM has disabled one mic, hence the audio being low. All other AOSP ROMs are based on CM, which is why they have the problem. There is no fix that I've seen as of right now. Either run a CM based ROM and have the problem or flash back to a TW ROM.

Now, I want to "upgrade" to a CM 10 nightly.

Do I have to wipe and install or can I just install?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
If you want to go to CM10, you need to 100% wipe that device before installing.

If you want to try and diagnose the issue you're having taking the OTA to 4.1.1, we can work through that too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iFargle:
Alright. What do you need to know?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
To try and accept the OTA?

How did you install this 4.1? Did you flash the proper radio with it? Do you have a custom recovery? Are you rooted? Have you changed or uninstalled any system apps? What error do you get (what happens) when you try to accept the OTA?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
We need to know what you flashed... Did you just flash the ROM or flashed radio, bootloader and recovery for that variant? If you didn't flash them, you gotta do it. If not, you can't update.

However, if you did flash everything, just flash them one more time just to make sure. Sometimes, people get confused and flash wrong version of radio and stuff...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iFargle:
I am rooted and unlocked, yes. I installed this 4.1 image using clockworkmod recovery. I don't even know what a custom recovery is, so I assume I do not have one of those.

Ah, I did disable one system app -- Google Play Magazines. As soon as the update popup comes back I will try again... Since now when I go and click on the check updates button it tells me I'm up to date, even though it's still 4.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Disabling any apps wouldn't matter. However, you just said that you have Clockworkmod, right? If it's, there's your problem. Flash stock recovery and you should be good to go
