[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onemedia:
I bought a phone from ebay SGH i727 Android version 4.0.4 Baseband version 1727UCLE2 Build Number SkY ICS 4.2E-2 Kernel Version 3.0.8 perf 1727ucle2-cl526987 se.infra@sep-98#1 smp preempt tue may 8 kst 2012 (if all this info works). It was at&t device, which is working with tmobile sim. The problem is there is NO status or notification bar.

There is no way I can receive a call on this phone. NO WAY, no green icon to slide, no home key reply - nothing.

My question are below

1. Can I simply do a factory reset, since if the phone is working on tmobile it is unlocked - right? and should work after factory reset.

2. The phone has root access by superuser and a few more apps that make me think that it may have been a software unlock to allow at&t and tmobile sim ONLY. Is that possible, and is factory reset advised in that case?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
Sounds like it's running sky ics. Im pretty sure the reason the phone is unusable is due to the fact it was already factory reset.

Your best bet is to read the stickies and install a fresh rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onemedia:
Factory reset?

Pardon me for asking a newbie question, but, if I do a factory reset does it not revert my phone back to original initial rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
Nope. You really want to read the stickies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onemedia:
Thank you

I have been reading the stickies and forum posts for almost 6 hours now. It is just that this is my first time messing up with such stuff and I wanted a clarity from someone who has done this stuff earlier.

One more question then - which ROM would you suggest?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
Lol. Fair enough. It's a lot to read.. I know- ive read everything here.

I suggest a stock rom to start with. Here is the latest stock rom from Mohan

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onemedia:
Did not work

I downloaded the zip file and ran a rom updater via ROM MANAGER app, it did everything, it took a backup, ran a whole lot of activities and said that ROM is updated. Nothing, there is no status or notification bar, there is no change in the phone details from the one posted above.

I just want to be able to ANSWER my calls as of now. I hear a call sound but there is no way to pick up that call. The only way is to see a missed call notice in the wallpaper and then call back.

Don't use rom manager, use recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jamrockbwoy:
connect the phone to your computer, put the ROM on the internal sd card, reboot into recovery (remove battery, put it back in, press and hold [power+volume up & down] til samsung logo disappears ) and flash the ROM from internal sd card
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mymusicathome:
Make sure you do a factory reset, wipe system, dalvik, and cache a couple times in recovery mode before flashing a new ROM

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onemedia:
It worked

I was just apprehensive and had read good reviews about ROM manager, so I downloaded a custom rom via it and installed the CyanogenMod Version 9.1.0-Skyrocket

As of now, status and notifications seem to be working fine.

Thank you for all your help, hmm maybe the next time I will try something via a non - interface way.

Thanks again.

Please use 6.0.1.3 it has tons of features and has file manager as well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
By the sounds of it, you should read the stickies as suggested before flashing roms.. sounds like you used rom manager to flash the CM version? Wouldn't advise that in the future and probably lucky nothing bad happened if that is indeed how you did it.

Need any help, feel free to pm me.

Tonight I decided to update my firmware to the 2.27 stock. After successfully flashing, the phone booted back up just fine, but since this was my first phone and first time modding I needed to unlock the bootloader. I successfully went through the unlocking process, but when the phone booted back up it hung at the Cyanogen mod boot screen (leNoob's CM9).

I can successfully get into the bootloader / recovery without a hitch. Unfortunately when I try to wipe /data, I get the "E: Can't mount /dev block/mmcblk0p35 (file exists)" error message, followed by "can't mount /data".

I've tried reflashing leNoob's CM9 and Rage, but neither one will successfully boot.

I'm S-Off running amon Ra 3.15.

One odd thing .. after removing the battery and booting into recovery, it sometimes crashes out of recovery and instantly reboots the phone. Only happened twice, and only after I've removed the battery and loaded recovery.

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] famouscollin:
try flashing a different rom and kernel(temporarily)and boot it up. then go back to your recovery and see if you get the same errors.. iv personally only seen that issue on clockworkmod recovery..

Try the following in adb:

[HTC Rezound] Shadowalker97:
That probably would have been the simpler way, or possibly even the correct one. I ended up finding a series of 3 commands in a different thread (one of which looks pretty similar) that fixed my issue.

mke2fs -j -b 4096 /dev/block/mmcblk0p35

tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index -C 1 /dev/block/mmcblk0p35

e2fsck -fy /dev/block/mmcblk0p35

I'm not sure what all the hell that just did, but after I was able to wipe /data without a hitch. Oddly, when I do a full wipe it now shows that it can't delete mmcblk0p37 and mmcblk0p38. However, I could install and boot my rom just fine (albeit with one or two oddities that haven't presented themselves again).

Thanks for all the help!
[HTC Rezound] 4218kris:
same here can't delete mmcblk0p37 and mmcblk0p38. is there a way to go up a level and format the entire /dev/block/?

my internal sd says unmounted. i this thread leads me to believe that this is the internal sd that is corrupt or something yes?
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
U need to wipe cache and dalvik cache after a firmware update then you'll get booted
[HTC Rezound] 4218kris:
the cache and dalvik wouldn't wipe completely because it couldn't not access some blocks. it still cant but at least now i dont get errors when flashing roms or wiping.

Get rid of amon ra and use twrp...twrp will fix this issue...amon ra has always been buggy no matter the rom

[HTC One X] Alex240188:
This is probably a hacked version by the terminology he is using.

Additional game data are the proper words you are looking for

Sd files are clearly hinting at pirated version and you will find no help with that here.

Official paid game works fine when changing roms and restoring on onex and n7

[Motorola Photon 4G] rjl2001:
My Sprint Motorola Photon is not letting me install any .apk files. I have checked the boxes to allow installing from unverified sources and debugging mode, and even tried cycling the check box and retrying the install. I've tried installing the .apk from the phones memory and also tried installing the file from an sd card in the phone. I tried downloading astro file explorer, es file explorer, and some apk manager app off the app store all with no luck. It always does the same thing, will bring up the installation screen for the .apk, but will not respond to any touches on the 'install' button. Everything else works and lets me tap all over the screen, but the grey rectangle install button will not work, the 'cancel' button next to it always works though. This has become very frustrating for me. I just paid $15 to upgrade a trial app and now can't install it because it is a new .apk file for the new full app.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Omar04:
Not compatible. IMO :confused:
[Motorola Photon 4G] rjl2001:
Also, forgot to mention that I've tried several app .apk's and all of them give the same fore mentioned results. So I don't believe it is the actual .apk file I'm using.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Harkadenn:
I want to know if I am the only one who is having trouble with the camera autofocus.

Most of the time it won't focus correctly even after suggesting the target area.

It will start doing autofocus and then a small flick is heard and it jumps back to the blur view.

So I have to keep selecting the focus area and around my 10th try it finally focus correctly. I wish I could manual focus...

What is going on?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I haven't noticed that at all. Could be the autofocus module is broken. Or a software issue. You haven't mentioned if you are rooted, custom ROM or anything. So a re-flash or a factory reset may or may not help, if its a software issue. Also make sure the lens is clean, as it being dirty might interfere with the autofocus function.

If you haven't already, you might try the camera option "Touch to capture" and see if that helps. It will automatically (focus and) take the photo when you tap an area on the screen. Not sure if that will yield better results for you or not, but its worth a try.

Also, the "Face detection" option works really well to focus on faces (usually on by default). But of course, that isn't going to help if you are taking pictures of something other than people.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] usaff22:
I also have this issue, but with a One S. When you touch a really close area to focus on, it focuses, goes click and focuses out again. It's not just the One XL. I think I might send it to HTC, but tbh it's too much of a hassle.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Harkadenn:
No flash or tons or whatsoever. Using the latest update.

Lense is clear, I'll see if I can exchange it if a hard reset wont fix it.

Thank you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BigCiX:
My One X seems to auto focus quit a bit when using face recognitio
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GuestK00345:
That was happening with mine one time. It occurred when I was trying to take a picture of a picture on a table. There was heavy light source from the left and my camera could not focus in. I turned by back to the light source and it focused just fine.

I chalked it up to lighting. Lighting can ruin a professionally taken photo, lol, so I'm sure it can play games with our phones.

Anyways, just a thought.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] qwertyaas:
Same issue when I'm close to the object I'm snapping.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Harkadenn:
Clearly it's a normal issue then.

So... what should we do?

What are the possibilities of releasing a manual focus?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] neincraft:
Also have the exactly. It's a exactly as you described.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Folks have mentioned trouble taking pics when the subject is up close (macro type shots) which seems common for many cameras, especially depending in light. You didn't mention if that was your specific problem. If your phone is having trouble focusing with ALL shots, I'd say that's not normal.

I don't think such a thing as "manual focus" is possible with camera phones. It's not like an SLR, where there is a lens ring to rotate to change focus. All camera phones and point-and-shoot cameras have some type of auto focus, AFAIK.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] foxbat121:
Make sure the spot you want to focus on has good high contrast texture for camera to work on. AF on phones are contrast detection focus only. So, if you ask it to focus on something with very little contrast, it won't work. For example, to focus on a person's face, you need pick the eyes, not the smooth face texture. Also, if you do close focus macros, switch camera to that mode. The auto selection (the default setting) may not work correctly.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ksnax:
Issue still there even on macro. Kinda sucks that you can't just lock it in based on what is seen on the preview.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Harkadenn:
Alright I gave it a try and it seemed to be working good outside during the day.

I was having a frustrating experience trying to take close up of a mantis in good light. I would tap to indicate focus, camera would whir into focus then snap out of focus.

It's annoying to me that there isn't focus confirmation... The target designator doesn't change color (red or green) not is there and audible indication of successful focus.

Has anyone tried the sense 4.1 camera?

Most (if not all) file recovery software that you'd be able to use would require that your phone be mounted as USB Mass Storage to your PC to try and recover. Since the Galaxy Nexus can't do UMS -- only MTP -- you're pretty much SoL.

I have been using Link2sd for a while now and just wanted to know is there a way to get all my apps/games back after flashing a new rom and performing a full data wipe, cache wipe, after factory resetting...etc my phone.

There should be coz all the apps and there data, .dex files and lib files etc, are already there on the second partition. Isn't there anything I can do. I just dont want to reinstall everything again.

thanks :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Smartid:
No you can't use link2sd for it, if you wanna backup full your applications you can using titanium backup, you can backup including your account like Facebook, yahoo, etc..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] proprg8:
If the data is still on the second partition, you can try opening link2sd, press menu> more > relink application files. I think, though that cwm will wipe the second partition (or /sd.ext) if you perform a factory reset.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] samajid:
Are you sure the 2nd partition is wiped as well when I do a factory reset??

Coz I see that there is used space in the partition... But when I check /data/sdext2 thru ES File explorer ..its empty!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Smartid:
If you ask how about your 2nd partition after you wipe data, wipe cache partitions, I answer your partition is well but if ask how your file applications after you wipe data I say your file has deleted..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] samajid:
M sorry but I didnt understand...

Is it possible to relink my applications now or not?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] samajid:
Q. I upgraded/changed my ROM and I can not see my linked apps, their files are on the 2nd partition but the system can not see the apps. How can I make them available, do I need to reinstall and relink them again?

No, if you didn't wipe data when updating ROM the only thing you need to do is to run "Recreate mount scripts" from "menu -> more" within Link2SD and do a normal (not quick) reboot.

If you wiped data, after executing "Recreate mount scripts" and rebooting, run "Relink all application files" from "menu -> more" and then reboot. All of your linked apps should be available again after reboot.

If you also wiped dalvik-cache, in addition to the above step run "Link dalvik-cache files".

Found this on the link2sd site... i did as its told here... but when i "relink all application files" it says no files found to relink ... :/ what do i do...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mexusbg:
Best way is to backup using titanium backup. About the factory reset for me (rage kernel + CWM 5) it formats the second sd partition.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] samajid:
Yea I guess il have to buy the pro version...does link2sd move the application automaticlly when we backup or do we hav to link everything later...cz my internal memory dosent hav enough space to backup all the apps at the same time...
