[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caspeer_costel:
Hey there,

First let me explain what happened.

I had CM10 installed on my device and last night it kept on restarting and never getting to the bootloader so I first tried to reflash cm10 but the same happened. I had a cm9 backup on my device and tried restoring that but no luck there either. same problem. Then I decided to flash the phone back to stock and work my way up from there.

I opened odin, loaded the pit, pda, phone and csc files and hit start.

Odin showed me the green light with pass but my phone does not load. It enters recovery just before it was supposed to start booting.

I get the following message with the respective colors:

-- Copying media files...

Successfully copied meida files.

-- Deleting files...

E:failed to mount /data (file exists)

E:delete_data_files:Can't mount /data

your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.

So can anyone help me? Please?

[General Questions and Answers] Juice3250:
I am possibly looking to sell my phone and buy one on Craigslist or eBay but it makes me nervous because I don't know what I'm getting. I don't truly know how the previous owner used or abused the phone.

My question is this: Does rooting and flashing custom roms or basically not leaving the phone stock shorten the life of the CPU or processor?

Let's be honest, stuff wears out and eventually quits working. I was made aware of this when I had to replace my home wireless modem. I had no idea that connecting numerous devices to my network would shorten the life of it. So it makes me question if someone uses their phone more than what it was originally intended for by the manufacturer and carrier by modding it, does that in fact shorten the life of the phone? Is it worth taking a chance with buying a used phone when I don't know how it's been used or if it's been modded or not?
[General Questions and Answers] The-Hulk:
That would depend on what you were planning on doing with your phone, i will give you a couple of examples.

1. if you plan on playing graphic games then this would demand more out of your hardware, and could possably shorten the life of your phone.

2. If you plan of pushing your cpu to the limit by messing around with overclocking then this could also shorten the life.

3. If you are planning to just install a custom rom, then i would say this would benfit your phone, as most custom roms remove all the bloatware, thus demanding less from your hardware.

But to be honest unless your are going to push your phone to its limits, and you only flash everyday roms, kernels, themes, then you will not really cause you phone any more harm than you would using it normally on stock.

[LG Optimus Black] DaemonOnx:
As RomWiz said your only option is to flash a stock rom(v20s is the most stable and fluid).If you want custom roms like Zeus , Marvel , ICS etc you must root your phone :good:
[LG Optimus Black] rrgrrg:
well thats it , flashed a rooted v20o and installed zeus v7 rom ,, thanks alot guys ,, oh by the way whats the difference between v20x and v20c and all of these ,, i know u can jump from one to another but what they meant for :)

[HTC One X] jimbogreen:
Hi,

I recently purchased an HTC one X second hand - it came with a bootloader, but as I know nothing about that side of things, I just asked for it to be set to the usual factory settings. Its an o2 handset, but unlocked.

Yesterday, the o2 update to android 4.0.4 and sense 4.1 came through. I downloaded it, but when it restarted, it went to the bootloader menu and said there was an error.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

James
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
And the error was?...
[HTC One X] jimbogreen:
To be honest, I can't exactly remember! (bloody useful, I know)

It came up with the bootloder menu, code at the bottom (reminiscent of c:\ stuff on a pc - god, I couldn't sound more like a noob right now!!) and it said that it had downloaded an update, then on the next line down it said it had an error and it had to abort. I'm worried about trying to do it again to confirm the error message - would it be ok to do?!
[HTC One X] bogfather:
Has it got stock recovery on it or custom recovery?

For an ota to work you need stock recovery and not to have flashed any system mods or deleted any system apps
[HTC One X] jimbogreen:
I've just sent an email to the guy I bought it from to find out. Will let you know shortly.

Thanks for the help!
[HTC Desire S] cdx47:
I only rooted my phone a couple of weeks ago (waited until my guarantee expired) then after getting totally fed up of the HTC stock experience I flashed ROMS in the following order

1. Lowveld's Reaper v3 -

Stable and OK speed, based on CM7 (I did not understand the OverClock stuff at that time) but I prefer HTC Sense

2. Lowveld's Fallout Evolution v4.4 -

Nice with HTC Sense but not quicker than stock for me

3. Nik's Project X - Very fast, beautiful eye candy but 2 critical (for me) bugs

dialer delays so much so that at times I literally had to wait 1 minute before the number I dialled would work

Camcorder no sound

4. Eclipse_Droid's ICE Eclipse v2 -

Very fast but I missed some of the tweaks and eye candy I had in Project X

5. Ronks888's ICE DS v 4.4 - As fast as the above with extra status bar and eye candy tweaks (similar to Project X) and Overclocked Kernel 3 !! :) !!

Hope this was useful :)
[HTC Desire S] Nachhaltige:
so in ur opinion "Ronks888's ICE DS v 4.4" is the best Custom ROM for the HTC Desire S atm?
[HTC Desire S] cdx47:
In my opinion ICE DS v4.4 is stable and fast with enough features to be getting on with as your day to day use phone. Fallout is just as stable for example but "I" did not find it as quick as the others.

There are other ROMs with even more features but I found this ROM has a nice balance. If Nik's ROM didn't have the dialer and camcorder problems I would still be using his!
[HTC Desire S] toxic-hero:
i think the best is yet to come, now that we have the official ICS. ICE DS would probably change it's base to it because it still depends on incredible s' base which is the reason for few bugs.
[HTC Desire S] cdx47:
We will see. For example Nik's new Transformer ROM will be decent. The only question is will you be able to use it as a day to day ROM or just a show ROM. I personally need a day to day ROM.
[HTC Desire S] cdx47:
6. MIUI- fast and pretty but took a couple of reboots before working properly then my alarm program simply would not work with it

7. Ronks888 ICE DSv 4.4 with stock Kernel. I had issues with the sweep2wipe which I think was killing my batttery?
[HTC Desire S] cdx47:
Smooth Rosie MOD for Desire S

8. Ronks888 ICE DS v5.0 with Kernel 3, sweep2wipe disabled, flashed Smooth Rosie mods for Desire S by hamdir
[HTC Desire S] cdx47:
9. Fallout Evolution v5 by Low. Very nice ROM from the master but just like with MIUI I have too many issues like apps not working and tweaks going missing. Also with default settings it is still not as quick and smooth as ICE-DS. YMMV.

10 See 8.
[HTC Desire S] sarcome:
have you tried blindndumb's BlindICE? i used to have it and would like to know how other ICS roms compare to it, especially in terms of smoothness. that was the only bad thing i found about it.

i'm now using jellytime but it's not completely stable and i don't know if i can accept going back to less smooth versions.
[HTC Desire S] Ragey:
I'm still using my first custom rom Fallout Evolution v5 and its very stable and usable which is very important for me.

I've not plucked up the courage to try another rom yet but I have made a nandroid back up ready for when I take the plunge :D

I'm still trying to decide if I need to flash a re-engineered hboot 2.00 as I used revolutionary to gain s-off.(6.98) It wasn't a requirement for my current rom as the developer fixed it, I need to read up a bit more I think.
[HTC Desire S] cdx47:
Depends on the ROM. I think I needed to do upgrade my hboot to 7.0 when I installed MIUI (cant remember now, so many roms).

But the nice thing about Nandroid is that it makes it all so easy.

1.Set up the rom how you like it

2.Use it for a day or two to make sure everything is ok

3.Back up the rom using 4EXT or ROM Manager booting to Recovery mode (Nandroid)

3a. You may also use a separate back up program like my backup root to back up the apps and their data so that you can import them into the new ROM later.

4. READ THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE NEW ROM AS GIVEN BY THE DEV

5.Do a full wipe (except SD card)

6.Install new ROM

7.Have fun :)
[HTC Desire S] wz10:
Hey man, how did you disable your sweep2wipe? I've read a few guides but it just can't seem to save even after it saves. Thanks! Same ROM as you btw.
[HTC Desire S] cdx47:
Edit the script 50-sweep2wake which is in /system/etc/init.d/and set 1 to 0.
[HTC Desire S] wz10:
I've done that. But it doesn't seem to save even after. I'm using es file explorer

if that matters
[HTC Desire S] toxic-hero:
reset the phone after that.
[HTC Desire S] cdx47:
I also manually edited the android_touch file. This should not make any difference but it worked for me?!?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
It will work until reboot. That is the point of init.d scripts - to load the change again. Try to update the busybox to make them work

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] cdx47:
Hi again :)

I know the theory but I have rebooted on many occasions and sweep2wake is still disabled.?!? :)
[HTC Desire S] anazhd:
I always support ICE DS \m/ . but after battery and heat leak on ICE DS 5.0 , i tried latest fallout 5.0. For now, it's working like a charm. no battery leak.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
So init.d scripts work for you, but apparently not for the other guy ;)
[HTC Desire S] wz10:
It's still not working for me. could there be anything I'm missing out?
[HTC Desire S] cdx47:
You edited the android_touch file too?
[HTC Desire S] dr.higgins:
Try Solid Explorer instead of ES.

That should do the trick :)
[HTC Desire S] wz10:
It's still not working after downloading it. So frustrated!

---------- Post added at 03:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 AM ----------

Where do I find that file?

An extremely thorough guide would be amazing. Sorry I'm terrible at this btw!
[HTC Desire S] cdx47:
Look inside the script file and you will see the location. All it does is send the appropriate number to the android_touch file.
[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:
I've noticed that ES File Explorer changes permissions on files it edits. So check that your script is set to 755 (rwxrxrx).

Sent from my Desire S
[HTC Desire S] wz10:
I can't seem to find it in the script file either. I read that I have to edit it through my PC? Even with Solid Explorer, the value doesn't seem to save. Getting crazy with this!
[HTC Desire S] dr.higgins:
I don't get your problem... :confused:

It seems to me you've got all the info you need to solve this, and then some!

Just to be clear, you do have BusyBox, SuperSU and a file explorer with root permisions installed, right?

From Kernel 3 OP:

To disable S2W, change the value 1 to 0 in the file "50-sweep2wake".

The file can be found here: (ROOT)/system/etc/init.d/

AND you must also change the the word "false" to "true" on the row that says: "ro.htc.framework.screencapture" in the file "build.prop"

That file can be found here: (ROOT)/system/

Note: If you're on Fallout 5 there is no 50-sweep2wake file.

Instead you'll find a file named "83SetS2W".

Inside there is a reference/path to another file/location ((root)/sys/android_touch/sweep2wake) with the s2w disable/enable option (1/0)

In addition to that there is also a 1 or 0 value. But all this is taken care of by Fallout tweaks incorporated in the Fallout ROM.

Btw, why do you want to disable sweep2wake?

Below is a statement made by amidabuddha, the man behind the v3 (sense) kernal thread:

And the respons from one of xda's most merited kernal/rom developers.
[HTC Desire S] cdx47:
Hi

What exactly does your s script file say?
[HTC Desire S] wz10:
Firstly, thanks for taking the time for such a good reply. Yes, I do have all those things you've listed except for busybox. Idk, I heard with s2wake off, battery life increases? I'm on this Rom and the drain is terrible. Ny HTC framework already says true without me editing it. Could that be the problem?
[HTC Desire S] dr.higgins:
Nah...

If I were you I'd install 'BetterBatteryStats' (you can find a free version @ xda if you search) and find out what REALLY drains your battery.

Btw, are you a 100% sure you have s2w? I mean, have you ever used it?
[HTC Desire S] cdx47:
Get Betterbatterystats, charge your phone then run your phone for a few hours as normal. You may need to do some of the help and faq to understand the results.

Also if you are running ICE DS then busy box is installed by default isn't it? Every rom I have used ao far installs busybox!
[HTC Desire S] wz10:
Actually, I'm not sure if I had busybox or not. It didn't say in the app drawer. I've got better batterystats. Hopefully I'll find out what's wrong.
[HTC Desire S] cdx47:
Betterbatterystats is a brilliant tool (now that it is working again). Make sure to read the Getting Started section under help to get a good basic understanding of what you are looking at.
[HTC Desire S] cdx47:
Dont try this at home LOL!

I already have installed OC/UV Beater2 v7.1 with Virtuous_OC for basic control of Governors and CPU speed but I recently installed Daemon Controller and andrev_oc to see the advantages if any. Daemon Controller (like VC) take about a minute to actually start up. I see no advantage of using andrev_oc over VOC so I uninstalled andrev.

But here is the point of this post. I accidently set both the min and max CPU values to the same very low value of 245760. What this did was effectively lock my phone into a slow motion reboot loop. The phone was running too slow to actually finish loading all the processes so it would just lock up and reboot. Eventually I deleted Cache and Dalvik Cache. This gave me enough time to reset the max CPU value to something sensible :)
[HTC Desire S] wz10:
I've read the Getting Started section but don't really understand still. Under other, No Dara connection/no or unknown signal seems to be high. Anyway on solving this? Could it be my radio version?

BTW, how's battery life seeming for everyone on this ROM? (ICE DS v5.0)
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Better post a screenshot of the stats.

Basically the Screen ON time and the Awake time should be close. If the Awake time is much more than the Screen ON time (of course cases like listening to music while the phone is in the pocket are excluded) then you start looking at the other menus (kernel wakelock, partial wakelock, etc) to see what exactly took a lot of time and prevented the phone going into Deep Sleep (thus causing the battery drain)
[HTC Desire S] qaraqumus:
I do not see any battery drain thisICE DS v5.0, but I changed the kernel to Tweaked3-6.0-Sense4_Undervolted
[HTC Desire S] cdx47:
- User amidabuddha has basically summarised the help section for Betterbatterystats for you above.

- Post a screen shot of your Other and Partial Wakelock screens from Betterbatterystats

- The No Data Connection probably means that like me you use wireless most of the time and so the mobile 2g/3g data doesnt get used except when needed

As for battery life its fine!
[HTC Desire S] wz10:
here we go!
[HTC Desire S] cdx47:
Hi

100% battery and pretty much all the time in deep sleep. Did you use the phone at all that day :) ?
[HTC Desire S] wz10:
Oh crap. I must have put in the wrong screen shot. I'll run the battery on this then upload it. Thanks a lot btw! Especially with me hijacking your thread! Haha.

I just checked my HTC battery thingy, and it said face unlock took a crazy 27%?! BBS seems fine from what I can tell though. This definitely is not normal?

Which app do you recommend for voice recording? Auto gain control is a must-have, something like Tapemachine has for an example.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gialandra:
I use PCM Recorder Pro. It is cheap, offers the high audio quality and is the most battery conservative (you can record even 1 day without empty the battery). This wav audio format need card space.

I prefer to apply audio filters on PC controlling the effects. I think Auto gain control is only a filter.
