[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
Do not use rom manager with the s2. It is not compatible and could cause damage to your device. I would recommend you to try to flash a previous siyah tar through Odin

Bottom half of my phone was submerged in a drink of water for about 6 seconds. I instantly opened the back, removed battery, and dried off everything from the outside. I popped the battery back in and turned device on. Menu and back don't work, haven't tried plugging it in via USB or made a phone call. You think once water comes out the menu and back will work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ooxteme:
You did everything right until you put the battery back in. You should have put in in a bag of rice or ran a blow dyer on low heat. But I've seen plenty of phones come back from water damage. Good luck

I used hair dryer on it for 2 hours and it works flawlessly now. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 18th.abn:
Hair dryer can spread moisture thru the rest of the device and kill it later. Its really simple and safe just to remove the 5 or 6 screws from the back and take off the black olastic. Hit it again with ur blowdryer just to be safe. U will find there is still quite a bit of moisture under it if you do
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fishingmedic:
Don't use the phone for a day or two and toss it in a container of rice. Put it on top of the fridge for a slight bit of warmth and leave it for a day or two. It will pull all of the remaining moisture out of it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tft:
uh next time you should wait a couple days before attempting to turn it on..

there is always a good chance it will work but chances are something will get fried if you are impatient and try to power it on.. water and electricity aren't a good combo if you haven't already noticed so don't turn it ON. no matter how fast you remove it, water still got inside..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrgnRebrn:
Several years ago I dropped my phone into a bucket of water I was about to mix grout in. I did the same thing you did, and the phone miraculously worked. Over the next week though, individual components malfunctioned one-by-one. I eventually had to buy a new phone. Then 2 years ago I got in a hot tub with my blackberry in my pocket. I didn't realize it until my wife sat next to me and I felt it there. I immediately took the battery out, went inside, took it apart as much as I was able to, placed all 3 major parts in a bucket full of rice, & went tech-free for 48 hours. My abstinence from my phone was somewhat brutal, but it worked flawlessly after that until 7 weeks ago - when I elected to upgrade to Android & bought my SGS3.

I'm not saying you'll have the same experience I did with that 1st phone, but I am saying that time, patience, & rice can work miracles when our expensive high-tech devices meet their ultimate kryptonite. It's like Superman orbiting the sun, good as new!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dougstoner:
I've had two phones get submerged, and I can say, step one is always pull battery. Step two should always be leaving it submerged in rice for a minimum of 24 hours. Mine have always come back from the dead and worked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
My phone is working but battery is lasting 1/3rd of it's original life.

Not sure if the water did something to it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Northerntouch:
It could be the a charging problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
It's saying battery fully charged though. Idk what the problem is. I'm getting a replacement battery now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
Actually I'm noticing that my weather isn't working like it should. Maybe that's why battery is draining?

My weather widget says N/A.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dougstoner:
I've had some weird issues like that before. Sometimes, the battery wasn't making a good connection to the phone. Try taking the battery out, using an eraser (on a pencil) and cleaning the contacts on the battery and the phone. Also, I've put a little piece of paper folded up on one side of the battery to force the battery to touch the connectors. I'd get a new battery anyway though, just to be safe. They are cheap.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bestdayever:
This happened to me after I updated to LG8 and never started working again. I ended up flashing CM10 because it was broken, clock FC'd every time along with other issues. I don't think this is related to your phone taking a bath.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qmanjr5:
I've downloaded several different ROMs today, and moved them to /sdcard. I wipe the phone and the cache, and then go to "install zip from sdcard" on Clockworkmod recovery. I've done this several times, and Virtuous Quattro is still here. I'm fairly certain I rooted my phone and everything when I initially installed VQ, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

(Please keep in mind I'm still relatively new to all this phone business.)

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
well if you don't get any error and, as it sounds, you are doing everything right. I would assume there is an issue with your recovery, I suggest flashing a new one, also I would suggest using 4ext recovery over clockworks as it is superior in many ways.

go to the 4ext website and grap the .img

boot into fastboot

fastboot -w

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot reboot bootloader

now reboot to recovery and perform a full wipe, make sure all is partitioned to ext4 (except fat32 partition of sd)

flash rom of choice

any questions feel free to ask
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qmanjr5:
I should have mentioned I switched to 4ext. Also, I've done a full wipe and flashed the ROM, but still no.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
so even after a full wipe and flash of the rom, you boot back to os and its the same as before, as if you didn't do anything?

and you get no error codes? and you switched to 4ext recovery and it sucessfully changed to it but you get the same problems as you did with clockwork?

is all this correct?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
Reformat your phone through 4EXT. It's under the same menu as wipe.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qmanjr5:
Yes.

Which partition am I formatting? System?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
reformat everything except the fat32 partition of sd card, then for safe messure wipe everything and reboot, if you don't get stuck @ the white htc screen then something is wrong (this should wipe your os completley so you won't be able to boot) if it goes into os after a full wipe/reformat then I suggest logging into irc freenode #g2root and get some realtime help

if you do get stuck @ htc screen the pull battery boot to recovery and flash rom of choice

I do indeed get stuck at the HTC screen, but none of the ROMs but VQ is working. Could it be that I downloaded them on my phone and transferred them to /sdcard?

check the md5sums of the roms you are trying to flash, make sure you follow all instructions in the op of those roms, (md5 should be listed where you downloaded and inside 4ext there is an option in the menu to check the sum)

Hello. I am new to this forum. I did do searching before I came here. I am sort of a noob so sorry for dumb questions. I wanted an MIUI theme on my phone. I tried MiHome but it doesn't change the UI so I want to get the MIUI ROM on my phone but I wasn't sure how. I know you have to root your phone first, but I read somewhere that MIUI isn't compatible with different rooting procedures like CyanogenMod. If thats true, which one is it compatible with? Is it possible for me to get MIUI on my phone? I have an HTC Vivid (of course) with Android ICS 4.0.3. Can anyone provide me with a guide on how to do get MIUI on my phone, preferably a video with a step-by-step description (yes, thats how noobish I am). Also, what are the odds of me rooting my phone if I follow the steps exactly as told? Sorry for a ton of questions. To sum things up, I would like to get MIUI ROM on my phone but have no idea how. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
Alright....you need to do ALOT of reading...I only say that so you don't brick your phone...but here's some info as well as how to get miui

It doesn't matter how you root your phone, you can still flash any Rom...you don't even need to be rooted to flash roms

Cyanogenmod is not a rooting method, it is an aosp rom...you cam flash from cyanogen but our device doeant even have a cyanogenmod Rom (well there is one but it was discontinued...for now)

In order to get miui you will need to do the following:

1) unlock bootloader

2) get recovery

3) download miui onto your phone (can't be any miui...has to be one made for our phone...you can find it on rootzwiki.com)

4) flash miui

More detail:

In order to unlock bootloader and get a recovery I suggest using Hansen vivid toolkit that is stickier in the dev section...its the easiest most newb friendly way to unlock bootloader and get a recovery...for the most part all you do is plug in your phone and click a few buttons...here's the toolkit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1498003

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
Just some ideas , if your pc is slow you can download and of the files you need on your phone then transfer them over to the pc , also if you download the tool kit you shouldn't need anything else but the Rom , if you get s off you will need to do a couple of things , but as mg said do some reading on this subject to kinda get an idea as to what your working with , make sure you kinda understand it so you don't brick your ph. Better safe than sorry .

Good luck and if you have questions there is a lot of good people here and would be glad to help.

Help! I managed to root my phone, which is good. I am currently using WCX. I am not sure how to flash the rom. I tried going to my internal sd card and installing the miui zip file from there. After it reboots my phone, an htc logo loads, then it takes me to some chinese. It has like big chinese words on top in red, then in the middle it has white words, and in between the white words, it loads from 0 to 100 but I have no idea what to do now. It just leaves me stuck on this page! Can anyone help me? Do I need to uninstall the rom then follow a correct process of installation or can I just do the correct process? Also, please don't redirect me to some page, because I did a lot of googling and I found one which would help me, but the site is down. :( I am sure it isn't a long process. This is what I did:

1. Manually put the zip file into my internal sd card.

2. Rebooted my phone to recovery.

3. Installed the zip file, which flashed the rom.

Is that correct? Can someone please help me! Thanks! :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ronnie498:
1. Manually put the zip file into my internal sd card.

2. flash boot.img via fastboot (The boot.img should be in the zip of the rom You have to flash the boot.img - aka the kernel)

3. Rebooted my phone to recovery. Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, factory reset

4. Installed the zip file, which flashed the rom.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] menachemt:
I tried what you said. I am using the All In One tool kit that someone told me to use so I flashed the kernel (boot.img) through that, assuming it is fastboot. I then rebooted my phone to recovery and selected the zip file, it flashed it. I rebooted my phone and it still takes me to that chinese screen. Is there a different MIUI ROM zip file download? I used this one: androidfilehost.com/main/HTC_Holiday_Developers/rafyvitto/MIUI_ICS_V4/

Maybe a different file would work? Thanks in advance! :)

EDIT: I tried applying the Ultimate Iphone Theme v7.0 but it doesnt work. I go to themes and select it but it doesn't apply. I tried rebooting but it still doesnt work.

Thanks! :)

It's been a while since I used miui, but last I heard the themes in the miui theme chooser/downloader wernt compatible with miui...at least the majority wernt there was still quite a few that worked/partially worked
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jelleephish:
With the ROM I used, since I am S-On (which I assume you are too since you did not do the wire jump thing from what I read) after you initially flash the boot.img file using fastboot, you need to flash the rom, which you said you did. Then go back in and reboot to bootloader, and flash the boot.img again. It may have been just specific to the Rom I used, but that is the instructions I followed for mine. I hope you made a nandroid before you flashed Miui in case you ran into these troubles....

For Digital AOKP please download ROM from below link

Digital.AOKP.I8150.BZS.v1.3.zip

& First boot restart means, when u flash your ROM and start your ROM after configuration, you must restart your phone once.. It reload all libraries...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] shanbhudz:
is that rom is good for gaming??eventhough their so many apps installed in your device???
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ji.sonu:
yes this ROM is perfect for games because low memory using and you must install Auto Killer Memory app in your phone so your ram always empty and games working perfectly... and also note.. Flash Adreno Libraries through CWM

Download & Flash JB_Adreno_Libs.zip file in your SD Card and boot into ClockwordMOD Recovery and Flash it.

It will smooth your device and fast for games.

is jb adreno libs can flash to cm9 beta 2?...

yes of course...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] shanbhudz:
if i flash this jb adreno libs do i need to format, wipe all cache and dalvik cache before flash this?

and also after flash this do i nedd to wipe it again?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ji.sonu:
No need it wipe everything, just flash it.... and is is recommended that when you flash new ROM or refresh your current ROM through wipe/dalvik and then u flash this libs then this is better, so now u already have old ROM in ur device so just flash it..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] shanbhudz:
ok all i want to do is flash it all the way no wiping any cache on cm9 b2...right...???
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] shanbhudz:
now i already tried this digital aokp rom..its nice but i found out that theres an issue to camera..the camera is not working only blank screen and the shot button is in the center..tried reboot and reboot but it is still exist so i switch back to my my old rom...

can you post the download link and the istructions to install..thanks

have any issues..how about playstore???
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ji.sonu:
No it has no error coz of i used this Rom from 2 months and maybe you did some mistake during flashing or you install 3rd party apps for camera.. try to re-flash this rom with Full Wipe, then Cache, then dalvik and battery.. then FLASH your ROM( Remember.. after flashing complete.. In advance Fix permission) and then reboot your device.. These all steps is happend in CWM Recovery..

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reddvilzz:
That's because you use indroid v3. Indroid v3 is based on old cm9 which is the known bugs while charging in off situation your phone won't be able to turn on. But it is fixed in the cm9 beta version. So you should flash the latest indroid, the v5 because it is based on cm9 beta 2. I use it and no more problem like that.

That's happen sometimes if you use indroid. Try rebooting your device and it will reappear again. I have try it and it works, it is caused by sd card read failure i guess.
