[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lionhe:
It seems an hardware failure, or at least, a serious corruption of the boot and recovery.

Does it boot to fastboot(vol up plus power button)? If yes, I would try to go completely stock by installing through fastboot one of the factory images which are available here on xda.( Before doing that you would need to perform a backup of your \efs folder.)

In this way you rewrite boot,radio, recovery, kernel and ROM. If the malfunction was due to some corruption of system files, that should fix it.

If it does not boot to fastboot, there may be another chance with Odin. I have seen in a thread for booting with a broken power button that by simultaneously pressing vol up and vol down you enter in download mode. You need a Odin factory image, which also includes the fastboot, I think. Such a file, together with the right version of Odin is provided in that link.

Hope that this helps,

Good luck

I am able to get the phone into recovery mode, where it says it can mount SD Card and even USB Storage, but when I try to flash the stock image, it stops and says "(bad)", even though that's the same image I've flashed a couple of times before. I am also considering it could be a hardware failure, but for the moment I'm trying to elimminate all possibilities.

EDIT: it seems I can flash recovery and boot through fastboot, but not system.img

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ericerk:
Is there a simple Sim unlock for the sgs3?? Like a one click method?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] James2k50:
Okay so I just purchased the Samsung Galaxy S3. Initially I have been very happy with my phone except I noticed it was getting warm/hot after playing few games. I try not to worry too much about these things because I know how hot my computer gets when I do the very same things. I managed to solve most of the issues by turning down the brightness on the display.

Upon further reading, I discovered is issues some folks were having with cracked case of their phones. So I looked and noticed cracks on 4 corners of the case. I think this is the way this phone is manufactured. So I became a little more unsure if I made a good choice.

1 other issue is the headphone jack is difficult to plug into. My earbuds only go halfway but then I have to press even harder to finally get them plugged in. I'm not sure but perhaps could the headphone jack be faulty?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] corythug:
Getting warm under use is normal. Not hot to the touch warm, but Luke warm. Headphone jack sounds normal as well, mine requires a firm push as well. The cracks... I have some around the camera flash from using it as a flashlight but that's it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] James2k50:
Nice to know that everything seems normal but I don't like the cracks. I thought that what I was looking at we're just molding seems on the bezel from the manufacturer. Maybe you just never noticed them before?

HD Games Collection For Mali GPU Phone's (APK + SD Data)

Operating System: Android 2.1 or higher

Password: zs0mby

Not all games may work with every Mali GPU phone, there are many variables like: firmware, phone model, etc...but at least 90% of them should work for everyone...

Some old Gameloft games have issues with ICS & JB.

Installation Info:

If you want to use the SD files from here and not download over wifi, then in 70% of the cases you must:

- first install (restore if your using Titanium Backup) the APK, but don't start the game

- copy SD files to location (ex: Android/Data)

- after you copied the sd files start the game for file verification (in some cases for the file verification you need a working wifi or 3G network, and you may need to download an additional 2 or 3 MB of cache).

If your not doing this steps it in this order your game can delete in some cases the SD files from the specific location.

If a game has written under it a small installation procedure, then follow those steps, not this ones !

Download Info:

Archives that exceed 200 MB are split into 200 MB sized archives, because:

- this way it's easier to upload or download files in case of a connection error (ex: you don't have to start from 0 MB to download a 2GB file in case of an error)

- you can download from filehosting websites like Zippyshare, where you have a very fast download speed, you don't have to wait between downloads, and it doesn't have captcha or 1 minute queues, but the maximum size per file is 200 MB

- no need for registration for some filehosting websites (if the file is bigger then 200 MB you need an account for some filehosting websites).

If for a game there are more SD data part's (ex: Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - etc), then you must download all of them in order to get the full game SD data (I recommend to use Winrar to extract the files).

These are the most popular Mali GPU phone's:

+ Samsung Exynos 4412:

- GPU Mali-400:

/ Samsung Galaxy S3 - 720p

+ Samsung Exynos 4210/C210:

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] yzak58:
Today a friend of mine told me that he was able to gather more internal memory from his old HTC Desire by turning off the NAND STORAGE SECURITY [aka S-OFF].

So is there anything like that for our FIT?

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-s-off-how-to-gain-it-on-htc-android-phones-with-unrevoked-forever/

See the above link for more info on S-ON/S-OFF stuff
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
s-off means locked bootloader that's mean any change done on the nand partition will be reverted back after a reboot (not sure)

you cannot get more memory but more memory will be available to you for editing purpose

he is either misleaded or misunderstood
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] TheRealFelix0212:
I don't think so... :/
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] a.cid:
G-fit doesnt have a locked bootloader = no S-On...

Hence, there is no need for S-Off...

It is usually only for HTC phones since they have locked bootloaders...

[HTC Rezound] SuperSonicRob:
Just started running Neo's AOSP rom, loving it so far. The only thing I miss about Sense is some of the widgets. Is it possible to use sense widgets on a non sense rom?
[HTC Rezound] fo0you:
No.

Edit: To further expound on that, you would need the Sense framework and Rosie (Sense launcher)
[HTC Rezound] tpulu:
You could try beautiful widgets in the market.

Thank you for the quick respones.

[HTC Rezound] sn2hotty:
+1 for Android Pro Widgets. Gives you a lot you may miss from Sense. Beautiful Widgets is good for the clock/weather widget we all know so well from Sense, but lately I've been using HD Widgets for the clock/weather, which I like a little better.
[HTC Rezound] hochoch:
Anyone know if we can use the standard ICS gapps with AOKP/AOSP or if the rom dev has to supply them?
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
You can use standard on any. Neo provides some themed ones for his roms ,but they aren't necessary.
[HTC Rezound] loonz29:
Neo has a download on his aosp and aokp roms for inverted gapps, and another flashable download to turn the inverted apps back to normal.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomaszgz:
I have the same problem. I know what lead me to it.

Its an Asus SL101

I have cyanogenmod correctly installed. In order to install a megatron rom I downloaded their app called megatron apps. Trying to download a rom from them I got validation error at end of download and I make the stupidity of change the download dir from /mnt/sdcard to /sdcard and then when I restart again it doesn´t load and CWM recovery give me the same errors (unable to mount /data or unable to mount /sdcard when cleaning cache or trying to restore a backup ).

The only thing I have been able to do its to install Rogue XM Recovery 1.5.0 instead of CWM 6.x ) but the problem to apply an update or restore a backup persists.

Any idea ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theslime:
Aaargh.

After a year and a half of heavy CWM and TWRP usage, this has suddenly happened to me too, possibly after flashing the updated TWRP blob from Goo Manager (although that's conjecture at best). My ROM (RaymanFX' CM10 v6) is fine in everyday use - no problems whatsoever, but now I want to update, and my recovery won't let me.

In the hope that something simply went wrong during recovery blob flash, I successfully deleted TWRP and flashed a different recovery (latest CWM) from ROM Manager, but the new recovery can't mount anything either - neither sd card, data, or cache. The error messages are more or less identical to TWRP's errors. My system MAY be readable, but I can't backup or restore or flash anything anyway, so I don't dare format it.

I don't have a Windows PC, so I haven't tried Easy Flasher. I could try it on my work computer if there's no way around it and if neither OSX or Ubuntu can help.

Any suggestions?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IcedCube:
G'day,

I scored a Telstra HD2 off eBay. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what Radio firmware I could flash to update the radio. Can I use a non-Telstra radio on my Telstra HD2, or will this brick it for sure? If I can flash a updated radio, will it enable any unsupported bands? For example, a Telstra 3G can't talk on 900Mhz 3G, but a normal HD2 can.

The reason I am considering upgrading the radio is because I'm thinking of using Windows Phone 7 on it.

Over to you, XDA Community!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
Any radio (hspl required to flash radios)

Only radios with a x.xx.50 are suitable for use with magldr (go flash 2.15.50 then forget about it)

No, changing radios will never change the supported bands.

i have a defy red lense mb525 and foolishly flashed one of the bl7 sbfs. i rooted my phone with this method using the other thread as a guide (which i found to be quite straight forward and one of the better guides on xda) and then once rooted i did the normal cwm and stuck on cm7 euro. this root method therefore works for any phone running the bl7 (even though technoically only defy plus should have that bootloader).

[LG Optimus 2x] josereybuenavista:
Hello Guys,

How are you? Long time no see.

Recently, I have just upgraded to Android 4.0 and it runs smoothly. It's GREAT!.

Below are the EASY STEPS to upgrade to Android 4.0 for your beloved LG Optimus 2x SU660. I am using Windows 7 in upgrading to ICS.

1. Download the latest ICS ROM - http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGSU660/ASKTDW/V30c_00/V30C_00.kdz. It will take 1 hour or more depending on your Internet Speed.

2. Download the KDZ Converter - http://www.mediafire.com/?xbxacly4195v7xb

3. Run KDZ Converter and choose "1" for V30C_00.kdz. Wait for a couple minutes for processing. Be sure that KDZ Converter and V30C_00.kdz are on the same folder. Choose "No" if ask about CWM.

4. Find V30C_00 Folder [You will notice 2 files: CP File and AP File] and place this folder to Drive C: for easy location.

5. Download the LG United Mobile Driver - http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdat...bileDriver_S4981MAN37AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.7.zip. This is to ensure that you have the latest driver.

6. Run the LG United Mobile Driver (file from Step 5). Wait until it will say FINISH.

7. Download the SmartFlasher Tool for LG Optimus 2x - http://www.mediafire.com/?zm8q0iq53108ccw

8. Run SmartFlasher Tool for LG Optimus 2x (file from Step 7)

9. In SmartFlasher Tool, select the 'ROM Copy D/L' tab. Ensure 'Normal Mode' is selected. Ensure 'Erase CAL' is NOT selected.

10. Under CP Bin, put the .fls file (from Step 4).

11. Under AP Bin, put the .bin file (from Step 4).

12. Turn off your SU660 device. Hold "Volume - " while connecting your Device to your computer using USB Cable Wire. You should see a software update message on Phone Screen (S/W ...) and in the SmartFlasher Tool, the COM port and Communication Driver should be filled automatically. Be sure you comply, Step 5 and 6. LG Mobile Driver must be updated before doing the steps below.

13. Click Start.

14. Wait for few minutes and be sure, that it says "Download Complete". It will take 5 to 10 minutes to finish.

15. Wait for few seconds until the Phone open for the new ROM. You will see a lightning SKT Icon.

16. To change the Language, go to Settings and find "A..." icon and click the first menu bar and change it into English. Or, in the first open of your upgraded phone, click the button below the Android Logo (Center) and choose English.

So, instead of paying the technician from $30.00 to $40.00 per job order, you can do it by yourself.

ENJOY!

Regards,

Jose Rey Buenavista

P.S.: Thanks to Stefan Guendhoer, su660ics and mallariogo for their contribution and to aragorn (an outstanding forum helper).

Trying to update my phone to ICS after finally giving in to peer pressure.

Kies Air is saying "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies."

Current Firmware version: I777UCKK6/I777ATTKK6/I777UCKK6/I7777UCKK6

Any advice?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:

Sent from Team Pirate Headquarters. AKA yer moms basement.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wgoldfarb:
I upgraded to ics via kies a while back, and have two things to say:

-I don't remember for sure, but i am 95%certain you cannot upgrade to ics over Kies air. You need to physically connect your phone to the computer with a usb and use regular Kies.

-Don't upgrade to stock ICS. It is terrible, and imo NOT an improvement over stock GB. I had never felt the need to root my phone until i unknowingly installed stock ICS. Within two days i had enough and wanted it off my phone, even without knowing about the emmc bug. If you really, really want ics, I'd suggest skipping the upgrade altogether, root your phone while you are still on GB, and then flash any of the custom ICS ROMs in this forum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] The_Fallen_angel:
Yes you are right the wireless update cannot be done it has to be hardwired to do it An I agree do not go stock root than flash and custom. One that I have used and am still using is phonebricker or shostock2 both are great roms
