Similar problem, but cannot make zips to work - HELP NEEDED

HI,

I hope you guys can help me. My T989 got stucked in the splash screen when I tried to update to a nightly CM10 ROM. I entered into Recovery MOde (ClockworkMod 6.0.2.7), then tried to use Darkside Super Wipe... but apparently the phone cannot open zip files. When I hit install zip from sdcard and then select one of the zips (I have tried different ones) it says "---Installing: /sdcard/sgh-t989_darkside.supe.wipe.zip"... but it does not move from there. After 3-4 minutes it reboots by itself and gets back to the splash animation, but never goes beyond that point.

I tried to sideload using ADB, but the phone is not recognized by my PC.

As you said, I think that the recovery mode is corrupted... but I cannot install a new version using a zip :(

Is there another way to reinstall a version of CWM that allows me to install zips so that I can follow the process you suggested (super wipe + installing ROMS)?

Help will be very much appreciated

Thanks for your time,

Enrique

Do NOT use that darkside superwipes with CWM recovery v6.X.X.X. Does bad things.

Use the scripts only for CWM v5.X.X.X.

Anyway, the damage is done and bad things have happened... So maybe check here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1513359

Either that or you can search the forum and Google around and see what you can find. I am in by no means an expert, but depending if you can access the recovery mode or not might be the key here.

I wish you luck, and hope that you don't have a very expensive brick.

Use Odin. There is a tutorial on how to revert to stock GB (might be ICS) in the T989 development forum. It should be a sticky in that forum.

Tried your suggestion, but Odin won't recognize my phone

Hi there,

Thank you very much for the answer. I actually spent hours trying to find something before I posted my question. Even before posting I found and tried the method using Odin... but my phone is not recognized by Odin. I followed the instructions but on step 4 I actually do not get any "warning" screen... and then the phone is not recognized.

In the meantime, I can get into recovery, but I cannot install any zips. I have tried to complete a factory reset, but the process gets stuck at "Formating /cache..." and then reboots. When I try to install a zip (any zip, the radio, a new ROM, gapps,... any zip really) it gets stuck too.

Any other ideas? I really appreciate your help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thatdude02:
The only other possible option I can think is to try and install another recovery....

However!

I have no clue how to do it, and in the end you might just end up making the issue worse.... Like hard brick it.

I might think of something later, but I don't know what else I can do for you. I will search around, but no promises...

Best of luck to you

--edit--

Ok try here possibly

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1777970

I have seen a few posts saying that they just install this recovery and then restore a backup.

Ok to be honest, try restoring a backup first and see if anything happens there, and then try this thread.

However like before, this may make the problem worse! Proceed with caution and read and understand everything before attempting.

Hope you can get your phone back to functional!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kikorras:
samsung jig

Thanks again for the answer. A couple of days ago I tried to install a functional backup that I had from CWM... but it does not work :( It runs for a long while, then reboots... but it still freezes on the splash screen (my theory is that the backup is not recovered, as I know for sure that the ROM I backed up did work fine)... I think that CWM is corrupted and not working properly.

Then I tried the solution from the thread you mentioned... but adb cannot find the phone when it is connected :(

I found somewhere that I can use a samsung jig (microUSB with a resistance) to make the phone enter into download mode, then reinstall CWM using ODIN and then try flashing a stable ROM... What do you guys think?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thatdude02:
I've heard about the jig method as well, but have no idea on how to go about doing it. Might be worth a shot. I don't think the jig costs that much anyway. I will see if I can find anything later.

I was just thinking about how much data I have used this month, so for people with unlimited data I thought it would be fun to see how much data we all use on our phones. Here's my over 18GB.
[Galaxy S III General] Nick Fury:
Here is my usage. But my highest in a month so far is 50GB
[Galaxy S III General] Taubin:
Unfortunately there's no such thing as unlimited data here in New Zeland :( I've use a whopping 84MB this month so far
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
Wow that sucks, I'm sorry for you, you don't know what you're missing.
[Galaxy S III General] Ausboy 2011:

[Galaxy S III General] cyrexking:
Wow oh wow you guys are really lucky to have unlimited data.

Im with vodafone and there data is limited to 750 mb per month.

When im contact finish i will jump to the carrier that offers unlimited data presumably 3
[Galaxy S III General] demlasjr:
I have 555mb per month and what I pass over costs me 4 cents/mb. That's pretty decent for me as I'm 70% of the time connected to wifi networks (doing over 20 gigs of traffic)
[Galaxy S III General] Taubin:
I moved here from the states at the beginning of the year, I was on Sprint with unlimited data. Words can't even describe how much I miss unlimited data...

Can't upload screen shot as I flashed JB ROM today so data usage information wiped.
[Galaxy S III General] Nick Fury:
Im on 3uk pay as you go. I buy the £15 bundle which gives me 300 mins, 3000 texts and all-you-can-eat data.

Really not bad for £15 a month pay as you go.
[Galaxy S III General] dave6018:
You should swap to giffgaff As you would get a extra 100 mins + free calls to same network and 0800 numbers and unlimited texts and data http://giffgaff.com/orders/affiliate/david6018
[Galaxy S III General] ThreeLionsRoar:
wow:eek: and i was thinking im going crazy on my unlimited data, i used 7.6 gb. this month.

how do u use up 180gb in two weeks? wifi tethering?
[Galaxy S III General] nitewalker033:
Moving from the U.S. to Germany and leaving my unlimited Verizon contract to 500mb a month is the worst thing ever...

Giffgaff is cheap, but the service was awful! So many times I would end up with no usable phone because Giffgaff had broken something!
[Galaxy S III General] elmunkee:
I was with giffgaff for two days before they kicked me off their network. The 'unlimited data' isnt really unlimited as apparently I had downloaded too much (4 GB) and it was having a detrimental affect on the other users of the network. I was using my Galaxy S3 (no dongle or tethering)

my son is a giffgaff user and wasn't aware of this fair usage, I thought it was like 3's all you can eat

I guess I'll be getting him a 3 sim soon, even though he uses WiFi 99% of the time I think its bs to say unlimited when clearly its not.

I have a 3GB Internet Data Plan due to a promotion during the time I bought my phone (was only supposed to be 1.5GB) and i've only used about 380MB in 23 Days.

Not surprising though, the down speeds I get with my carrier is only around 0.1 - 0.5Mbps which makes it practically useless for streaming or downloading anyway xD
[Galaxy S III General] Chono631:
This screen shot is my data usage since updating to DL17, it's in addition to the 8-12 gigs I had racked up since the 5th on DL15
[Galaxy S III General] Smartie36:
About 252mb used so far, that's the most data I've ever used, partly because I've recently switched to three and have unlimited data, plus I used to be with o2 and the data connection was rubbish, even when my phone had a h or h+ connection, which wasn't often, most of the time on o2 my data connection hardly ever worked!

My data usage will climb now that I can make use of apps like sky go and tvcatchup without worry of using too much data :)
[Galaxy S III General] NikArchangel:
I've used up 2.09gig in like 10 days, I'm on 3 in the uk and am on The One Plan. Living in London I get good signal all the time and average about 5mbit/s down and 2mbit/s up.

There are many people asking here and there that " HOW CAN I PLAY TEMPLE RUN ON THIS DEVICE ? ". So here's your answer.

ROOT NEEDED

Yes Micromax A56 can play Temple Run but after some mods and tweaks(I play it everyday). So if u wanna play Temple Run and some other games too, come on board. Woooooo...

Step 1. Increase the RAM first. Use this tutorial for increasing RAM.(use 512mb)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1834446

Step 2. Download Chainfire3D on your phone from the PlayStore. Here's the link.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.cf3d&feature=related_apps

Step 3. Now Open Chainfire3D and do this.

1. Click on install CF3D driver and install it. Your phone will now restart.

2. Download the plugins from the attachment below and keep them in the root of your sdcard.(.zip files)

3. Now open Chainfire3D and click on "install plugins". Install the 3 plugins one by one which are POWERVR, NVIDIA and QUALCOMM.

4. Now the plugins are installed Now it depends on you which plugin you find most satisfactory.(I use POWERVR). You can also select none.

5. Now click on "Default OpenGL settings".

6. Select only "Reduce texture size".

7. Select your desired plugin and close Chainfire3D.

Now download and install the lastest version of the game available (now 1.0.7) and open it. On the Temple Run screen where Play Button resides, u'll find a black Square on the backside of it, Don't worry it'll run fine. Its because we have reduced the texture size. You can also use "reduce texture quality" and others in Chainfire3D but then it lags a bit during gameplay. I found only selecting "reduce texture size" runs the game more smooth. (you can experiment with others.)

Now at first start(whenever you'll start the game) the game can/will lag. Start the game and let the explorer die 3-4 times, after that it will run smooth.

You can still experience a little of lags (it lags on many phones, because its a high end device supportive game.) depends on your RAM usage(thats why we increased the RAM).

Now you can enjoy your TEMPLE RUN as much as you want.

My Highscore is almost 24Lacs.( YEAHH...!!!)

You can try this Trick on other Phones and Games too(with a little experimentation).

NOW DON'T SAY THANKS....CLICK THANKS...!!!.......IT'LL MOTIVATE ME MORE.

Gud Work bro...!!!! ;)

Mine Highest is 60 Lacs...:D

Bro, as this technique works for all the Heavy Usage Games like Dead Trigger etc...!!!

So, it would be better if you modify the topic name..althoughTemple Run must be mentioned...coz it's the ISP of this topic..:cowboy:

Amm some thing like add some names of Popular heavy games along with temple run...It would be helpful for the other users who search for different games also..!!

Just a suggestion buddy...!!!

But thanx to You Now I Can play Temple Run, Dead Trigger, Major Mayhem, and Dojo Madness, Samurai II: Vengence and Smother Gameplay in Fruit Ninja....:laugh:

Although, I Ran the Temple Run and other Games Without Chainfire 3D...and it doesn.t make any difference for me(mean same performance)...So, this implies that..no need of using Chainfire 3D...coz GPU is Gud enough to handle these kind of Graphics...Whole Game is of Ram...!!!

CRT
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
There actually were several threads devoted to this, but it turned out that every update meant a lot of smali code had to be changed. It got to be too much for the developers, so they stopped. Another way was to use an app without editing anything, but that was stopped for the same reason. It worked sort of OK on UVALEM, but UVALH2 broke it completely as the app was not updated.
