JTAG or a Riff Box ....is a procedure / device used to debrick a Samsung device.

This method is Sammy specific ....and only works for us.

If a good JTAG procedure is used, it basically means our devices are unbrickable ....unless physically damaged ...

It's pretty cool ....just general search it ...and you'll see ....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
The device rewrites the read only chips with the operating system. It bypasses the flashing process that your phone can't do anymore.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Exactly .....

Thank you ranger ....g

Hey guys,

As the title says, I need to downgrade to Gingerbread firmware of my country's [India] stock ROM.

I am currently on ICS XXLQ7. I have Nandroid backup of my country's stock ROM.

But is it safe to downgrade from ICS to GB using a nandroid backup?

The reason of me saying "need to" above is because my cell's been USB Bricked! For the second f*cking time! Same way as before--> Galaxy R not getting detected on PC nor charging via a charger

Now I again have to give my cell to SSC to get my charging port replaced. Looks like they gave me faulty charging port last time. That's why it has happened again! I am sooooo going to f*ck them now!

So please tell me if it is safe to downgrade from ICS to GB using a nandroid backup [CWM Backup] ?

If possible, can someone please give me CWM flashable stock kernel of Indian GB ROM? Also, can you give me CWM Flashable modem?

Thanks in advance. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] drarunmmc:

USB port damaged

I am having the same problem where my USB port has gone kaput and now my phone is not getting connected via USB. The charging is also not reliable as it charges once in 20 times :(. Since I am on ICS and rooted, I wanted to flash Indian Stock GB ROM but unable to do so. Does anyone have a CWM flashable version of the Stock Indian ROM that I can use to get back to GB before I can give the phone to SSC? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Adam77Root:
Your baseband will be still ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] gitanshu:
I had same problem once. I formatted /system and /data from cwm, then flashed stock recovery. My phone was without any os and i took it to ssc and told them that i was using kies and pc switched off suddenly so phone switched off and can't boot phone After that. They took what i said. :p:p:p
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] paragk:
I understand that by wiping data or factory reset /data can be formatted but how did you format /system? It would be great if you can give me the steps. Also I am thinking of restoring a Nandroid backup of GB ROM that I have (at least I think that it is GB). Would it be safe to restore it via CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
I think it's in advance option.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
Its safe only to restore CWM backup of GB but still Base Band will be of ICS....

But SSC in INDIA will not check these thing so you can give it happily....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] paragk:
Well I had a chat with 1337SereniTyx3 on the phone and he gave me the confidence to follow the steps given in his thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1663812. I followed these steps and got back to GB and now my SGR is with the SSC. As mj.vijram mentioned the SSC didnt even bother to check the baseband. Hopefully I will get the phone back by tomorrow.:)

Edit: Got the phone back today itself yay!!! Just dying to go back home and upgrade to ICS.

[HTC One X] fanga2010:
Hello Everyone,

I've tried reading the other threads but I think my case is just different enough that I felt like I should open up a thread of my own. If there is a better thread out there, please link me to it and lock this one down. I will try to provide clear details on the steps I've taken:

I used Hasoon2000 HTC ONE X all-in-one kit to unlock the HTC bootloader, flash CWM, and install cyanogen9 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1704303). Worked great but with some hiccups--experienced random shut downs, and my phone could never truly shut off. It would just reboot each time in stead of truly powering down but I didn't think it was a serious issue at the time.

Fast forward to yesterday I tried to wipe my phone and upgrade to cyanogen10 with JB. Regardless of method (rommanager/hansoon2000's program). I could never successfully boot to recovery because my phone would immediately launch into cyanogen9 despite flashing CWM.

In haste, I tried flashing the kernel (thinking that might be a problem) instead of just restoring to my Sense backup... what I think I ended up doing is flashing in a corrupted kernel that had not downloaded correctly. This is now my major problem.

My phone is trapped in a boot loop--when plugged it in repeatedly just flashes the htc screen, then reboots. When I take it it to the bootloader, this is the message I get:

*** UNLOCKED ***

ENDEAVORU PUT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-0.96.0000

CPLD-None

MICROP-None

RADIO-1.1204.105.14

Emmc-BOOTMODE: DISABLED

Cpu-BOOTMODE: DISABLED

Hw Secure boot: enabled

MODEM PATH : OFF

HBOOT

All the disables are bad. I know that much. My computer now doesn't recognize the phone when i put it in bootloader and fastusb. I re-downloaded HTC drivers, and then on advice from a friend got the Android SDK manager and installed Android 4.3/4.0.3/4.0/3.0/2.3

I can see when I plug my phone into my computer that it recognizes the drivers but cannot connect (i think because of the phone's constant rebooting). When I run in fastusb/bootloader I don't see any driver messages.

I know what I did was realllly dumb and hope I haven't bricked my phone. Additionally, I'm currently located in Shanghai so my phone is the HTC ONE X Tegra (international) I think. Not too familiar.

Really appreciate any help!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sully9292:
How do you unroot the HTC EVO 4g LTE?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] brandonmaze:
You are probably using SuperSu as the superuser app. You can go into settings of that app and select permanent unroot.

You can then lock up you bootloader by opening a command prompt and going to your adb and using fast boot commands you can type fastboot OEM lock you can then proceed to download the latest ruu 2.13 just search the on here for it and run that with your phone still connected to your computer.

If your soff you can just run the ruu or install a stock ROM via recovery.

Multiple ways to do it just depends on a lot of variables like what ROM your on, s-off or s-on, what hboot your on 1.12 or 1.15, if you just want root gone or you also what to dump custom recovery as well and if you want it completely stock like it just came out of the box.

Let us know some more info and someone will help out
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
It depends how you rooted it.

Its different each way.

Theres no need to undo the superuser app. Any unroot method is going to install the unrooted ROM
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] brandonmaze:
True, but still a way to unroot.

If he just wants to unroot that's the quickest way to do it and probably the easiest.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
You are right. That's not what most people want when they go to unroot though. H-boot will still be unlocked/S-OFF and the phone will probably still have a custom recovery (depending on root method)

So get back to us OP :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] brandonmaze:
Yeah I know. I was being a Lil **** with that reply. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sully9292:
I want my phone to be just like fresh out of the box. And I have s-on.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] HunterKiotori:
I too would like to know about this, fresh out of the box.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
In that case, relock bootloader as per the instructions above, and then run the appropriate RUU for your firmware version.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
If S-OFF it requires you to run the S-ON tool as well.

Its really a different process for each root method available
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sully9292:
Which Rom should I use to unroot?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sully9292:
I mean do I need to put a Stock Rom on before I unroot?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
No, and you never told us how you rooted. So we can't give you the directions you need
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sully9292:
Oh sorry, I rooted with htcdev not with regaw mod cause I had problems with the mod but I rooted my phone manually.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
You'll need to re-lock the phone and then run the RUU then.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yS7yy4XVA4

RUU:

http://stockroms.net/file/HTCEvo4GLTE/RUU

For h-boot 1.15 you'll need the 1.22 RUU

You run it from your computer.

I believe you need an unsecured boot.img, I may be wrong though. Try hasoon2000's http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22459381 all in one toolkit. Or if you're planning on flashing a ROM anyway, try Energy stock ROM. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27666831

EDIT: Yeah nvm I figured it out. I just took the unsecured boot.img out of an old CapRom zip I had and flashed it with fastboot, then booted into recovery and flashed Faux's newest kernel. Worked like a charm. Thanks!

I tried flashing a stock kernel found here and it flashed perfectly. So apparently the problem is with custom kernels only, namely Kozmik's and Faux's.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayguruson:
Dear Folks,

I need to restore, replace or renew the "Phone.apk" because I deleted mine. The landscape orientation was never quite right as the dialpad was to close to the hangup button. Are there any modifications, any better phone.apks available for this as I want to remedy this quickly. I have no signal now, no way to dial a number or anything like that. So, if you have a splendid, fast and excellent solution, please pass it on to me. A new dialer does not fix this as a dialer is merely the before and after but not the during call application. I need the stock phone.apk for Longhorn 2.91 or a modified one or something that solves this dilemma.... Anyone have any thoughts out there? Thank you and have a good weekend. ~J:silly:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bsutton:
To answer your question short and simple, No. And tbh, I don't see it coming soon. MTP is a much more efficient AND faster way to transfer files between your computer and the device. Hence why it was used instead of UMS.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lviv73:
Funny you say that because most Epic Touch roms have it baked in,and there is threads all over internet because people are asking for it back.

It might be more efficient but you cant connect it to any other device besides pc and pc's are getting used less and less nowadays.

What band is everyones phone using? Go to dialler and enter *#*#4636#*#*, select 'phone information' and scroll down to 'set preferred network type'. Mine is set to WCDMA only which means I'm using full power to find a signal all the time I believe! This could explain my lack of battery life.

Could everyone check their network type and report back and see if we can get a correlation between battery life and network type. I might try changing it to WCDMA preferred or CDMA/GSM auto.

More research is required!

Daniel, that's quite interesting you're on gsm auto prl. What region are you and which network? I tried changing it to WCDMA preferred and it appears to snap to gsm auto prl, with only a half loss in speed.

Note the sensor useage time.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] adrialk:
In a-95dbm 4G service area. Auto brightness enabled. No battery saving tricks. Drops 1% every 2hrs while idling overnight.

I would call this moderate to light usage. No streaming music. Web browsing primarily.

Restarted to cause the vertical battery drop.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Myrmidon83:
Mine must drop 2-3% every 2 hours and that's with mobile data & sync off with smart actions overnight. :/ Battery monitor widget shows I'm drawing around 51-77mA screen off idling. With around 41-47mA with mobile data off.

Some quick maths shows that I should get roughly 40hrs data on and 68hrs data off. I was expecting nearer 68 with no battery tricks idling though. :( Maybe I should debloat some of the installed apps, dunno how much of a difference that would make.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stebomurkn420:
I would start by getting rid of "app sucker" ... lol
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Myrmidon83:
Lol, that's a part of gsam battery monitor though, it's used to find out what is consuming battery. Unless you're telling me that it's not good? Must admit, I've always used battery monitor widget and never had any issues. :P
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stebomurkn420:
I dont like battery monitor widgets <<<<… just my opinion
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Myrmidon83:
I like to know what current draw and other things are, must be the EE side of me. :p

Anyone any idea what the ics equivalent of the 'enable always on mobile data' setting is? On GB you could switch this off but keep background sync on and apps would only update due to their sync interval setting. That greatly helped with battery life on my old HTC devices. A scout around ics seems to have removed this feature and we're left with the data useage mobile data setting & restrict background data which is confusing to say the least as it seems to only allow data on wifi and not interval setting. Or we have background sync which is essentially the google sync and switching this off appears to have little to no effect on current draw. Mobile data off decreases current draw by up to 30mA which is significant but the interval settings don't work.

Any ideas on this without resorting to juice defender as it's not very quick at re-enabling mobile data. Maybe a smart actions profile for screen off would be better, but again you would have the interval problem. Also with mobile data off, you ain't gonna receive mms messages. Aaargh, lol.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] adrialk:
Those current draws are too high for idle overnight usage unless you are in a poor signal area. If signal is similar to or better than mine, then you have an app killing your battery. You should be around 10ma with data off and 20ma with data on. My maxx and my gf's og RAZR are in that ballpark
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Myrmidon83:
I have never owned a smartphone that had less than 28mA current draw. I find 10mA and 20mA to be very small for a dual core device. It seems to have settled to around 50mA screen off. The thing using the most battery seems to be the kernel, I don't know whether changing kernel would help. It easily lasts me through the day with my use, it's just not the 2-3 days I had hoped for.

What are you doing to limit current draw to 10-20mA?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stebomurkn420:
Stock ics... verizon...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] adrialk:
Signal is a big driver. My overnight idle stats are in a-95 dbm area. At work I am in a -105dbm area and sometimes see occasional cycling to 3g. At work I see more like 40-50ma usage with data on. Hard to tell because I usually check email or something once in a while and I find it takes a while for the current measurement to settle in.

What signal are you seeing?

I am running 215 with simplex 1.2 and hotplug governor. My gf's stock 211 RAZR gives similar current draw though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Myrmidon83:
Seeing roughly -87dBm most of the time at work and home, 3g. I'm on stock ics non rooted. Thinking I might root and freeze some apps with titanium but not sure which bundled apps to freeze.

7 hours screen on?! And 70% remaining? That can't be true surely?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Myrmidon83:
And that's stock? Come on, you must be doing some extra wizardry. :p
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BBQRaptor:
My Usage

I've been trying to sort out if my Razr Maxx is ok or not, it doesn't seem like my battery was lasting anywhere near what I thought it would. I took some data here before factory data resetting my phone. I reset my phone because I thought there might be apps that were contributing to the lack of battery life.

then I captured data after, installing a minimal amount of apps. It's better, but I'm not going the whole day on a charge... I know I get 3 to 5 bars, mostly 3 bars, maybe it is signal, I'm not sure.

Can anyone else who's getting stellar battery life compare what I'm seeing to what you get, so I can determine whether it's worth the trouble to contact Verizon. I used CPUSpy and GSam Battery (paid version).

Also my preferred network is set to the long one as well lte/cdma/evdo/wcdma
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stebomurkn420:
IMHO, if your not on stock ics... I would start by returning to that and tweaking it to you likings. If that is what you are already running as your os, then i would start with a data factory reset... refrain from downloading all those battery monitors/cpu spy stuffs for now, then report back with new numbers.
