I am looking to do a new ROM on my phone and need to basically do a "format c:" to get rid of all the old app folders ect basically start totally from scratch is there a way to do this?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
You mean something like format data, cache, dalvik, system and sdcard?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] scooterjes:
well I need to get rid of all the old application settings, folders, ect from all the apps/roms that I have installed. I have a TON of old folders on there that I don't know whether they are in use or not and to sum it up I guess i want to make the folder structure ect like it was when the phone was new.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Shawn:
Format everything andros11 mentioned. The /Data folder is where app stuff is kept so it will wipe it clean.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
After you do the wipes, you can also use odin or heimdall to flash stock froyo or gb, whatever you prefer.

I did heimdal back to stock gb ukj4. now I have no Baseband ver. and it won't read my sim card. I've looked just about everywhere I can think of and have come up with barely anything, or I'm just completely missing something. Am I missing a Radio? Also I'm getting the Google Talk authentication failed message.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Not sure why people always ask there (somewhat unrelated) questions in other people threads...makes it harder to find the help you need cause people assume the only question asked is what's in the title...so by scrolling through threads I would never guess someone asked about heimdall problems, id assume it was strictly about erasing data on the phone...two unrelated things -atleast post your question in a thread that is about heindall problems or when heimdall goes bad...etc

Anyways...what heimdall did you use? Try running it again, don't close it when it finishes, check the box for bootloader and the do it once more (again don't close the program after the first heimdall flash...leave ot open)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Drew2873:
I used the heimdal one click by Adam. Before I wiped out everything thing on my phone. Didn't even have recovery.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
How did you wipe out everything if you didn't have recovery? Just curious about that.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Drew2873:
Well. I did have red recovery when I was wiping, then I started messing with flashing new roms and ended up soft bricking my phone. I had the sim card problem before, which led me to wiping and re-partitioning the sd card then using heimdal to get stock back on. I just need to know what I can do to try and figure out what is causing the problem. I was running Aeon with red recovery. I didn't care for it. I had more problems than I wanted.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] g.corro96:
Go to storage and format the internal and ext sd if you want as well then or you can do it in recovery by wiping phone.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Benzoman:
If I remember right you need to wipe cache after flashing in certain circumstances or this will show up. I know whenever it happened to me in the past it was because I forgot to wipe.

If not, use search. I'm sure it's been asked before.

Hello guys!

I need some help with new Kindle Fire Hd.

I plan to use it outside US.

But the guy from Amazon support told me that outside US no internet connection available for device.

Is it even possible to control my wi fi connection over my location?

Here is another user experience using NOT rooted device outside US and sounds like it's completely useless.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1892574

So I've decide to root my device, problem is this my first android device, and I don't quiet understand is rooting solve this problem?

I understand that rooting gave me ability to install side apps, see file system and stuff.

But what about internet using by location limitation?

So question is it possible to get internet connection on rooted device outside US?

I'm very sorry if it's noobish question, but right now I got pretty short amount of time to get "into android".

Thank You all anyways this place is great source of info!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vorlorg:
I live outside the US, and received my Fire HD today.

While it's true that stuff like Amazon Prime doesn't work (and indeed, the Amazon Appstore as a whole), it's far from "completely useless". I rooted it pretty quickly, using the automated script posted here (and thanks the awesome community for that), installed Google Play and got pretty much everything I need on it.

Some apps from Google Play didn't play nice with the Fire at first (Skype and Facebook are two I had problems with), so I figured a kind of a workaround for the Amazon Appstore - just add a second payment method, using a test credit card number (which can be found on Paypal) and a random US address. This method allows you to download the free apps from the Appstore.

My Fire HD has been working fine since I got it 8 hours ago, so there's definitely no internet restriction of any kind if you're outside the US. The only restriction is on the Amazon content, which will hopefully be lifted in the future, as they expand their services.

Thank you very much!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] nvrmore100:
I wanted to start an official thread on performing build.prop edits on KFHD since no one has of yet. I have tinkered for several hours yesterday trying to get one that allows Google Play apps to install that show "unsupported device". I have had zero luck unfortunately, and am hoping some others want to take up the challenge and find a solution.

I suggest you get busybox before attempting this, it makes copying files easier. Get it in the GooglePlay store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en

Make sure you back up your file first!!! I did these steps:

# adb shell

# su
# mount -o remount,rw /system
# cp /system/build.prop /system/build.prop.orig (cp comes with busybox see link above)
# cp /system/build.prop /sdcard/build.prop.orig
# exit

NOTE: If you didn't install busybox, then you can do the cp commands as below:

# cat /system/build.prop.orig > /system/build.prop

Word of caution, I have managed to get my Kindle into a boot loop several times through this, but fortunately have been able to recover (details below). I cannot guarantee that you won't damage your Kindle in the process, and prevent it from booting.

I am also attaching a copy of the stock build.prop in case you manage to damage yours. I can't guarantee you will be able to put it back if you get in a boot loop, but you should be able to at minimum "vi" the existing one and manually enter everything to fix you up.

Here are my recovery steps if you manage to get stuck in a boot loop (I notice this happens a lot if you modify the

ro.product.board

entry).

All credit for saving my bacon (and showing us how to root) goes to jcase and sparkym3

. One note, you cannot use "su" if you get in this state, you get some exception and the binary errors out about you not being fully booted.

# adb shell
# echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop
# exit
# adb reboot
# adb shell
# mount -o remount,rw /system
# cp /system/build.prop.orig /system/build.prop (cp comes with busybox see link above)
# rm /data/local.prop
# exit
# adb reboot

Your device "should" boot after this.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] padest.com:
Do you means that if we get stuck in the boot loop, we can try the third code to recovery?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] nvrmore100:
It should let you get back to the device if you are in a loop like you would experience with the build.prop edit. Meaning you can still use adb shell to access the system even though its not entirely booted up, and you can't use SU.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] nvrmore100:
No one willing to try more build.prop edits? I spent another few hours at this, I'm still no farther. I am able to trick play.google.com into thinking I have a different system (Nexus S in this case) but the play store on the kindle doesn't allow me to install several apps. If I tell it to download via the web site, it does not push them down to my device. Also, if I try to do a combination of website / play store app at various stages of the process, I can get all the way to install portion and then it tells me its not compatible...

Someone please help.. I unlocked my bootloader with ez unlock and I flashed the rom solid ice, well I got the verizon system software message when the rom rebooted after the flash. So, I followed he instructions and went back to stock with ODIN 3.07 and re downloaded ez unlock and again it said unlock...my phone keeps saying it is unlocked and I go flash a rom and get that yellow triangle with the verizon message. NOTE: Prior to today, (which is bizarre because nothing has changed except I went back to stock and updated the phone to clear it because it was acting funky from too many different roms I guess) I have flashed several roms with the ez unlock and not gotten that message. Please Help! I will be grateful if we can figure out if I am banned from flashing roms by verizon even with an unlocked bootloader??????

Hope this made sense, I am stressed a lil:crying::(:confused:

I know your worries about getting blasted, happens alot. Most of it is actually deserved though. Some people are too lazy to search and/or read before asking something that is 1 post below theirs. I, like you mostly lurk and read. If you are ever stuck though, someone is always here to help. Just pass by the negative posts and ignore them.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] sn0warmy:
Hey guys,

About 3 weeks ago I ordered an XO Skins screen protector for my phone. I was looking for a good wet apply protector that was "case fit", which would allow me to continue using my Diztronic TPU case. After letting the protector sit on my night stand for over 2 weeks I finally decided to install it last night. The install went just fine. However, upon installing it and letting it dry over night, it became very obvious that this is definitely NOT the "case fit" version. The protector goes pretty much edge to edge all the way around the phone. Because of this I am very nervous to put my Diztronic TPU case back on in fear that it will lift the edges of the protector.

In an attempt to avoid getting a replacement screen protector, I want to see if anyone here successfully uses the Diztronic (or similar) TPU case, which wraps over the edges of the phone, with the edge to edge XO skins protector.

Link to protector:

http://xoskins.com/cell-phone-skin-.../samsung-galaxy-s-3-screen-protector-case-fit

Thanks for any feedback.

....

On a side note, I should mention that I had this exact same thing happen when I ordered a "case fit" protector from XO skins for my Galaxy Nexus. They sent me the full coverage one. Luckily the case for my Nexus accommodated the full coverage version. Overall, I am not pleased with their inability to send the product I ordered from them 2 times in a row now.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DrKaotica:
nope. i had the full xo skins on when i bought a diztronic. it peals the corners. sorry. cant really use any TPUs with full protectors like that.

one of the reasons i like the seidio active so much is that you get that nice protection around all the edges of the screen, but its not tight so it doesnt peal up full protectors.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sn0warmy:
Damn. That's what I thought. I guess now I have to decide if I should request that they send the correct protector I ordered or just keep using my backup case (Spigen Modello) since it doesn't interfere with the protector.

Hi, so I recently got my s2 yesterday and it is running 4.0.3 ICS unrooted. I got this problem with Gamevil games. So this is what happened: Most gamevil games are freemium so I dl'ed them directly from Android Market. But the problem is whenever I open these games, this shows up (imageshack.us/a/img100/701/screenshot2012092022450.png). These games are not online games (Plants Wars, Illusia 2, Zenonia 4) but I can play them just fine with internet. And I'm pretty sure that these games are not online games as I've already played them on an iOS device (former iOS user). What seems to be the problem? I need help and I'm new to Android world.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
Amazon wants you to stay in their own ecosystem. You will need to root your kindle fire HD in order install the google play store and to properly install some of the other google apps. The play store however is not a 100% sure way that all apps can be downloaded because it will still tell you on some apps that "this device isn't supported" so you will still have to side load anyways.

HI

Lately i am having this problem with my galaxy s2.

During a voice call at one point i am unable to hear the caller and the caller is unable to hear me - the call would still be connected but we can't hear each other - all we hear is silence.

Lately it is happening more frequently i noticed the following associations

1, It's more likely to happen during an incoming call rather than an outgoing call

2, I tend to use a lot a bluetooth headset, so most of the time it happens whilst using the headset, yet it does at times happen also without a headset

3, If it heppend once - then it is more likely to happen more frequently.

Does anyone have a similar problem?

That's carrier specific. It's not specifying if it's SMS or MMS (because MMSC and SMSC are different), but basically it's the carrier-specific code for receiving texts. My i9300 for example, for whatever reason change its SMSC to "00" after a bad flash, and I found the AT&T one online (because I use Straight Talk and it runs on AT&T).
