[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iggie94:
I tried flashing a couple of sbf files on my Defy and I had no issues until I tried flashing the T-Mobile_MB525 file. It did everything on RSD and it said PASS. I can't turn it on. I can't access the boot load screen or the recovery screen. RSD won't show my phone. The only thing I see is a white light from the phone. I need help. I want to go back and flash the original stock rom on my T-Mobile USA Defy.

Check the smg versions of the sbf you Fashed before that one. You will find the needed tools in the Sicky threats.

Could be you flashed one of a higher version before that.

Did you flash with low battery? Could be it was out of juice. But it said pass but I don't know if it means much. Does RDS recognize your phone?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iggie94:
Whenever I connected my Defy to my laptop a white light shows up.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iggie94:
The only sbfs I flashed were the jrdnem deblur the jordan sbf that's the one I use to go back to stock and the T-Mobie_MB525 is the sbf that messed up my phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ladicx:
I'm so stuck on weather to relock and use the 2.13 ruu, update firmware, then reroot or stay on old firmware with hboot1.15 in hopes of s-off.

I really want the new firmware and I feel like it will fix the few nagging issues I have on my device. But since source seems to have dropped I wanted some opinions on what to do here.

Should I hold out? I really want to run newest mean rom with the recommended updated firmware but I wanted some advice on what to do here. Any responces appreciated.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
You can run meanrom without the firmware.

My vote is to wait. S-off is worth more than the new firmware
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:
Agree with the post above. I'm running tranquility rls3 on 1.15 and I don't have any issues at all.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ladicx:
Yea I'm not saying the issues I have are huge but I get sence reloads a lot and I also I think I need the new radio as my service at work sucks.

So you guys think we will get s-off for hboot1.15 realistically? I always look around the threads for any news/hope but haven't seen any news or progress.

If anyone is working on it, you won't see progress simply because if someone is and everyone found out, they would never leave them alone to work on it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Nobodys going to annouce "hey guys I'm working on S-OFF"

Finding the exploit isnt like building a bridge where you can say you're halfway there and it should be done in a few weeks. You don't know you're making progress until the exploit is found.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ladicx:
Understood, my background is in IT so that makes perfect sence to me. Thanks for the insight.

That also tells me that since hboot1.15 has been out longer that if an exploit is going to be found, it will most likely be on that version before hboot1.19 I do wonder tho if its found for 1.15 would it be the same or similar exploit.

Gut says no from what Ive from HTC and the way they have been locking things up

Sent from my EVO using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
I'd be pissed if devs compare hboot and discover a flaw in 1.19 instead, sure I could relock and ota or ruu but it would be the fact that I waited lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
I'm kind of confused about this source drop thing. I thought that everyone was saying that since 1.19 hboot came out that HTC had found an exploit in 1.15 and it would only be a matter of time before devs did too.

I also thought I remembered people saying that once source was dropped it would be easier to find an exploit for the hboot, but the source only covers the kernel and no hboot right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
They can compare hboot but just because a new one is out doesn't mean they covered up an exploit, they may be getting ready for a hardware revision or may have just cleaned up code. Source isn't for hboot
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pamfil:
Hello all,

After following some tutorials about rooting my P7500 tablet after flashing ICS ROM, I'm still having issues.

What I've done was:

- recovery mode -> wipe data, cache, etc

- flashed P7500XXLQ8_P7500OXALQ8_P7500XXLQ8_HOME.tar.md5

- flashed recovery.tar from droidbasement - the P7500 one

- some tutorials said to install ROM Manager and flash CWM Recovery - it didn't work - permission issues

- reboot into recovery mode (screen was flickering) - was able to install the root zip containing "su" and SuperUser. After still no root :crying:

At some point I flashed a bootloader which fixed the recovery mode flickering screen...after flashing ROM again, bootloader was overwritten I suppose as flickering screen was back

Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing something? I DID read a lot around here but all solution I've tried didn't work for me...F1 F1!!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Sunshine23:
did u use odin? did u also wiped Davil-Cache?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pamfil:
Yep, flashed via Odin (Windows 7)...About wipe, I've used both options from recovery mode menu: wipe data and wipe cache. Is there other thing that I need to wipe?

LE: I haven't used "advanced" option from that menu. Will give it a try once I'm at home. Thanks for the tip!

LE 2: OK, I'm @home and tried this:

- flashed the bootloader.tar.md5 which keeps the recovery mode out of flickering

- reboot in recovery mode, wipe data, wipe cache, advanced > wipe Dalvik cache then reboot again in download mode

- flashed stock ICS IT ROM

- reboot in recovery mode - no flickering

- flashed recovery.tar.md5 for P7500, downloaded from droidbasement => flickering in recovery mode :(((((

Did I miss something here?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pamfil:
And of course ROM Manager says there are problems while attempting to run privileged commands even after installing the zip containing su and SuperUser. What else can I do to root my tablet? I've root'ed my I9000 so easy....
[Streak 5 General] Ruturaj001:
hey guys

Need some help for my Dell Streak 5

I tried installing custom rom but it gave error that signature not found

So then I installed Rom manager from ClockWorkMod

It asked for root

So then I installed Superuser

But some how it dosen't seem to work

Where am I getting it wrong?

I am completly noob in android now
[Streak 5 General] Edrill:
What recovery are you using? Sounds like CWM. There's an option within CWM recovery to toggle signature verification. That should turn it off and let you install whatever ROM you want. Also, ROM manager is known to not work with the Streak. Not sure if that's changed with the latest versions of CWM for the Streak.

[Streak 5 General] Ruturaj001:
Thanks for suggestion

But I have problem using guide

Because I am trapped in loop

CWM wants me to be root and I can't be root

because when I try to flash Superuser.zip as update.zip

it's giving error signature not recognized

so without root I can't use cwm and without cwm I unable to root the phone

:crying:
[Streak 5 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You need to read and follow the advice given to you in this thread earlier by Edrill.

In Clockworkmod 6.0.1.2:

1. Select "Apply update from .zip file on SD card".

2. Select "toggle signature verification" and make sure the bottom of the screen says "Signature Check: Disabled".

3. Select Superuser.zip and flash it.

Your device, for whatever reason, has the signature check function enabled. As long as it is enabled you will not be able to install unsigned zips, like Superuser.zip apparently is. So disable it!
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
All my zips are signed and the signatures are valid.

His version is either modified or corrupt, he never stated where he got it from.

He also stated he's using rom manager, so there's likely other issues beyond that.
[Streak 5 General] deysmacro:
the cwm most probably not from here... and using rom manager that was never meant for streak makes it even worse ... maybe he is on stock rom 2.2.x ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] iamtarzan:
I have CWM recovery but still in rom manager its asking to install CWM:confused:

There isn't an official cwm for i9001 yet (don't think that there will ever be one) but indeed rom manager isn't working so it's.pretty.much useless
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bysdan:
Hi,

I'm new to android, and for the past few days I've been reading a lot form this forum to get some idea.

I've noticed that there are many different firmware versions (almost as if each country & each custom ROM has a different one), e.g. my phone is XXBLH1, my country's (Israel) standard ROM is JKBLH3, and there are many more such as XXBLG8, XXBLFB etc.

As far as i understood there should be no problem flashing a different one for my phone when changing ROMs. But still what are the differences between them, why are there do many? Is there any restrictions on which are compatible to change mine, for example, JKBLH3 is ok but XXBLFB is not? If so, is there a way to know this from the version code itself, meaning everything starts with 'J' is not for you?

Thanks in advance for your replies,

Dan
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akrontomaz:
that's a very good question, I never understood that either, I think those letters differ from country and from modem version in the specific country.

Also I don't think that is a problem to flash other official ROMS, because I have a S3 that was with branded firmware from the operator and I flashed it with official international unbranded firmware for my phone model (GT-I9300) and it works pretty nice :)

Also another question I will be capable to receive updates from samsung with my official ROM right? thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoot1:
These codes are used to differentiate between different regions.. All the firmwares are almost the same except small region specific customizations.. Some apps would work for some regions some might not..Also there are some region specific customizations such as language..

You can install any firmware made for international galaxy S3 without any major problems..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saywhatt:
Hi!

As what i know, there are a lot of firmwares out there because they differ in their unit. Let'e take for example, a korean S3, they cannot take in an I9300 firmware because of the regional basis and their "specifications"..

Also, firmwares differ also in ways such as updates.. let's say firmware X was released last June but it lags so bad.. so sammy release firmware Y.. something like that :)

I hope this could help you.. this is the simplest explanation my brain could process :P
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0semaj0:
just to add, firmware variants may also be due to the legal implication of particular countrries and/or regions as we saw several small updates rolled out a few months ago due to the "search for all" function in which Samsung and Apple had conflict in within the courts...however, such updates were not applied to the NZ firmware as far as I am aware...also...since OP is from Israel, there are also variations in the keyboard that are available...examples such as chinese input method differs between Taiwan firmwares and China firmwares eventhough both countries speak chinese lol...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Hello,

I have a big request to ask the developer for the Nightly Official CM10 builds.

I have been running them ever since i got my S3 with only a few known issues. I love love love these builds and greatly appreciate everything that they are doing for us.

I have one small favor to ask them to include in the next nightly or near future build.

Ever since build 9/18, i have been getting a hot reboot. I have narrowed it down to the app, smart status bar. This app has worked perfectly on every other ROM or nightly of CM10. So i KNOW its not the app.

I have a logcat here

and i personally feel its this change that is causing this.. i may be wrong but i dont know since nobody is giving me support or even caring.

On that note, i have mentioned this in the CyanogenMod 10 nightly thread. And all i got was a bunch of people *****ing me out claiming that im the only one who uses this app and experiences this issue. And that the problem lies in the app. But when nightlys are released arent they suppose to fix issues and not cause new ones? and if it were the app causing the problem then the app would have caused a hot reboot on my stock rom, on my galaxy s 2 cm10 nightly, on my HD2 cm9 nightly. And on EVERY other ROM out there. Well it doesnt nor has it caused issues up until the 19th build.

I apologize for any attitude or disgust in my dictation but i was very offended by the rudeness and ignorance of the remarks i was receiving. So i apologize for any hostility in my dictation.

Thank you for your time in reading my thread. I hope something gets done to resolve this issue.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imheroldman:
I would say send the logcat to the app developer and they should fix compatibility. Link them to the github change as well. Supporting all possible users should be a priority.

Cyanogenmod adds changes that make the most benefit for over all performance. If this broke their code it would be resolved but this breaks the apps code so the dev needs to correct it.

I have sent info like this to devs before and been obliged and had the issue fixed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
I've tried that never got a reply from the developer. I just don't see how it works on every other ROM but the 9/18 and up ROMs. So it can't be a app problem
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
If it isn't working with an AOSP based rom, it is an app problem. Apps are supposed to be built with AOSP in mind..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Yes i know. But it WAS working before the 9/18 update.. thats why i dont think its an app issue. Now Camera ICS has never worked on CM10 for my S3, it doesnt cause a hot reboot it just freezes then force closes. Thats an app related issue. But smart status bar causes a hot reboot and if you look at the logcat you can notice something is not right with the overlay. Everything runs perfectly on 9/15 build. Smart status bar works and desnt cause a hot reboot. so how could it be the app when it was working before? I just dont understand that part.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
The next logical step would be to see if it works on stock 4.1 on a Galaxy Nexus. That was you can see if it was something added that is different than stock Jellybean.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Thank you... just one problem... don't have a nexus :\ maybe I'll post in the forum over there to see if someone can test it. Thank you for your help!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
Yeah that might be your best bet. I was thinking since CM10 is attempting to put stock 4.1 on our phones, you can isolate it to see if it is in fact something extra that CM added or if it is something that would be an issue on stock 4.1 as well.

I've only just noticed this since I don't take screen shots too often but I would like to know is there a fix for this?

so if I have 2 batteries, I should wipe the stats for both right?

last longer. Does the "wipe battery stats" affects anything?

wipe battery solve the problem???how much longer keep ur battery alive???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saywhatt:
Hi

as what the first reply said, you wipe your battery stats via recovery..

but to do that, you have to fully charge your phone up to 100% first and then go to recovery and wipe battery stats.. :)

also, any applications such as "battery savers" and "anti virus" apps drain battery.. also, wifi is a big factor in your battery drain since the phone is forced to look for connection.

I hope this helps :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Wiping stats is a myth that Google engineers have dispelled a long time ago.

It won't help you at all

Use BetterBatteryStats to see which app is causing it. If you are on Siyahkernel (highly recommended) then tick "exclusive wakelock" to get more accurate ioformations.

I just recently flashed over to Inef Deus and there is a red theme for the standard ICS release. Deus 1.2 is obviously based on the global leak.

I'm running de-Sensed and would love to flash this theme but I know there are some differences between the two versions of ICS on the Rezound.

Is it safe to try and flash this or does it have to be ported to Global?
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
If it is a theme, it will most likely include both framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk which means it will not work correctly.

If it is a skin, then it should work fine.

You could just use 7zip to move the themed pngs to the global version of each app, then use those apps.

But any color changes made in xmls would be missing.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xf59:
Hi, I am wondering if it were possible for somebody on here to write an app or pc program that turns my phone into a bluetooth dongle via usb? Because I have a bluetooth headset that I want to use on my pc but I can't use it because I don't have a bluetooth dongle. Now instead of going out and buying a bluetooth dongle, I figured since I have an android phone that it would somehow be possible to use my phone as a bluetooth adapter/dongle that my pc can use? I'm using windows 7 amd 64-bit, and a sprint galaxy nexus. (please move to appropriate forum, idk how i got in the galaxy note ii forum i thought i was in sprint galaxy nexus forum)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] na7q:
never seen such a thing. would be cool. i recommend just going and buying a dongle. they are super super cheap anyway. so very little harm will be done with that money. :P
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone0:
I don't know if it can and never seen a project like this, but I think you better off buying the USB-Bluetooth adapter. It's extremely cheap now a day. And you gotta ask yourself, is it very worth it to wait? Even if it exist, it wouldn't be as capable as the real one, and then you have to worry about some other stuff what happen when the phone ring, does the phone have the head set or the PC? Seriously, go buy the adapter unless you want to scratch your own itch.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esteffanjonkman:
Hey man. So, actually making your phone into a bluetooth dongle is a lil' bit nasty due to permission issues. BUT, there is another way. As you are willing to use this "measure" to stream your PC's audio to your bluetooth headset, you can download an audio streaming app from the appstore (such as SoundWire for Android), set up the connection between your PC and your smartphone, and THEN you share your phone's media through the phone's bluetooth service to the headset. Maybe there can be a loss of syncronization for games and videos, but music will be just fine! Hope it helps ;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LokeshC2:
Hmm. Well, things like USB WiFi dongles and USB bluetooth dongles do exist, so USB had nothing against wifi or bluetooth. And those dongles work just fine even when connected through a USB hub. And as you say, your device has both WiFi and bluetooth. So, the simplest possible solution would be to have the PC view the phone as a USB hub, and the phones WiFi and bluetooth can be shown as USB dongles connected through this "hub". Infact, with that option, it should be possible to share lots of things between the PC and phone. You could share NFC, or even a fingerprint scanner, if you have them. Internet is obvious, because we already have USB tethering for that. I believe we also have apps that let us use the smart phone camera as a webcam? That too can be covered in this. Heck, even a GPS for the PC. (Or laptop?) Anyway, I am not much for coding and such, so if someone finds a way to implement it, please let me know? (If this becomes an app, then send me a free link, perhaps?)
