issues after flashing gt-s7500T

I got my hands on a gt-s7500t yesterday and started xda searching on how to put a custom rom on it. i tried all the methods listed under s7500 to put cwm in it but none worked and whenevr i tried to enter either through pressing vol "+" "-" home and power it never enetred recovery nor it enetered through adb so i moved onto flashing cwm through s7500L guide. so by using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1725198 guide, i flased successfully flashed cwm and the phone was stuck in recovery boot loop.

I successfully rooted by through cwm and even installed a custom rom but the dammit phone never came out of the recovery loop, so i went to the next step and downloaded a stock UK vodafone firmware from sam mobile and tried flashing that since australian s-7500t stock rom is unavailable.

Now odin gave a "fail" meesage when it reached to flashing fat.bin, i tried almost 3 different stock roms but same problem. I took the battery out, and tried starting the phone the phone started but no display, so i connected it to samsung kies hoping kies will have a solution, well as it turned out that when i went into emergency firmware recovery, the device screen magically lit up for few seconds and went dark again.

i was baffled so i decided to repeat the process http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1725198 and flash cwm and boot again. well this time when this completed and phone restarted the phone restarted normally and everything seemed fine, so through adb i went into recovery mode again just to see if all was working fine, but now its the same recovery loop again, have tried wiping the dalvik cache, factory reset and cache reset but nothing happening, HAVENT tried the advanced>recovery reboot> procedure, yet.

now am thinking of two options. first to try install another custom rom and see if that might hellp or since iv got another galaxy ace plus, try to extract the custom s7500T rom out of it somehow, (if u guys can tell me howto, cuz i tried titanium backuo but since it requires root and since i cant get into cwm without using s7500L technique which soft bricks i cant use titanium backup to extract the rom)

Anyone got any idea what to do? is there a pit,bootloader,csc,phone etc files that i can flash through odin rather than flashing a complete package through PDA?

or can i just flash boot.img from a stock rom using PDA and you guys think that will solve the problem>?

Hi, Is there a easy way to unroot this method? Do all my files and settings remain intact when using this root method?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] farodriguez:
This method don't erase your data, just write a custom recovery and add SuperUser app and bin to your system.

The best method to unroot is installing stock firmware package.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] kol12:
Thanks. So does installing stock firmware not write any files to the data partition of android? What about the apps that are included in stock firmware sms app, contacts,call logs, maps etc, will those apps data be lost with installing stock firmware?

The recovery.img you have is larger than the stock firmware recovery.img. Does this write more data somewhere?

I've been having the exact same problem as you with my S7500L. Boot loop error after installing custom roms. I can, however, install CWM and obtain root without problems.

I really don't understand how the s7500L rom guys developed them... how did they get out of the boot loop.

I tried replacing the boot.img from the custom ROM with one from a stock rom... nothing.

Hello to everyone who is using IM app ChatON, whether on Samsung mobiles or others.

Was anyone able to find a way to clear all the shared pics, animated mssgs, vds etc etc that always stay in trunk and return back even when start a new chat, after deleting the old chat.

To explain in detail, when we chat with someone using ChatON and share some pics, vds or etc etc, which stay in trunk of that chat window do not have the option to delete them like in WatsApp. But when delete the chat, there is a pop up that says "All your messages with trunk will be deleted permanently" looks promising. But when we start a new chat with the same person whom we have recently shared pics, vds etc etc, all the trunk is restored. Does it mean all our shared data is stored in Samsung servers? (It does not sound very good if its true :() Then is there anyway to delete the trunk Permanently without anything being restored when we start a new chat.

I have posted this thread here because this particular app has increased the quality of the way we chat unlike in any other IM apps like watsapp, viber, tango, IMO, etc etc. Its fast and super eye candy. So just wanted to know if we have a solution for the problem I mentioned above. One should use it before commenting negative about this app ;) . Tried to find any stored data of this app using Root Explorer, but could not find any and could not find any solution anywhere. But then, after complaining about this issue (this is a issue to me:o), and no reply from ChatON or Samsung even after 9 days, I have decided to take help from XDA.

Moderators and Senior members, please excuse me if this thread is irrelevant to XDA, and please delete the thread, if you wish so. I just wanted to know, how the app functions so that we could tweak it, in order to make it more secure.

Hi @ all,

Cynob creater of the CyMod-ROM has offered a solution to remove this dangerous bug. He asked himself why the new telekom firmware doesn't encounter the problem and after a few tests, he discovered that the new buildin DialerTabActivity.apk makes the difference. So he offered the mentiones apk as odexed and deodexed one to change it with the original one. Root is required to copy it in the system/app folder.

All Credits to CYNOB

:laugh:EDIT: For me it works !!!:good:

Here is the referred thread.

i tested both odexed & de-odexed versions on ParanoidAndroid...unfortunately it didnt work. o_O

Edit: Maybe I have to restart the phone to check if it works.. xp
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] DreamerTKM:
He got mentioned about odex and deodex...so what am I thinking is this is the apk file built for GingerBread...If it really for GingerBread, of course won't work on ParanoidAndroid ICS...

1.Alright now to the flashing, first obviously download the files, now extract flash_image and them move them to the root of your SD card.

2.Move flash_image to /system/bin using root explorer

3. Now using terminal emulator or ADB enter this to flash it

$ su
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

4. If this is your first time flashing a recovery then enter this

# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock9 /system

# chmod 444 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

If you get an error not found, don't worry some phones don't have it.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockNrolling:
Yes. The N7 has a blend of phone and tablet mode by default. It's called Phablet mode.

There are several ways to get tablet mode but they all involve rooting. One method is to change your DPI via your build.prop file. I don't recommend this method as it can potentially cause compatibility issues with Play Store and other apps.

Another method to get tablet mode is to flash a ROM that has it enabled, such as Paranoid Android.

Do you mean like this???? Root and run a custom ROM such a AOKP.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrome99:
Yup, it runs a "phablet" UI, Phone UI with Tablet apps. This is because (probably) Google wanted the people who used Android phones to be familiar with the UI (since barely anyone used Android tablets before the N7, their market share was way too low :p) But yeah, root and flash a ROM, I'll probably do the same soon.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grand Prix:
If you change the DPI to 160 it runs a perfect tablet UI and no problems on my end with Rasbean Rom running at 160dpi. Not a big fan of the phablet ui and don't like the roms that run tablet mode at the stock dpi. Things are too crowded.

To me i like the notification bar at the the top..It keeps my from hitting it when typing.. VERY ANNOYING .

I dislike that most of the apps run in phone mode when they are compatible with tablet mode / split screen apps.So in my opinion google did not get the phablet mode complete. Its leaning to much toward a phone tablet.. The lock screen and main home screen should not have been locked in portrate mode ... The paranoid rom to me uses quite a bit more battery life . but its been a while since i used it ..Will try some of them again very soon..

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockNrolling:
The Paranoid ROM actually doesn't use more battery than any other ROM. It's the kernel that causes the battery to drain faster.

Try switching to Franco or Trinity kernel. I'm on Franco currently and the battery life is insane.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metallice:
I used to have a galaxy tab 2 7.0 with ICS. It ran in tablet mode. I 100% agree with Google that the phablet split navbar/notification bar is much better for the 7 inch form factor. In portrait its not cramped anymore, and on landscape the nav buttons are moved out of the way so you don't accidentally press them while typing or gaming.

The problem is that this phablet mode seems unfinished. Too many apps run in single pane phone mode when they should be running in dual pane tablet more. This includes Google's own apps like the Settings panel, Google reader, YouTube, and so on. Also the launcher looks too much like phones. They should have done a bettrr job blending the phone launcher layout and the tablet launcher layout.

That's where Paranoid Android comes in. It let's me keep the (IMO) superior phablet UI and have dual pane settings and customize all the apps into whatever layout or size I want.
