[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
try a solution from My Android Solutions

But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT SD card, press power button for a minute , than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card...make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing to solve your problem

Thankkks

THANKYOU FOR HELPING ME OMG I LOVE YOU <3

-also how Can I it I don't know if it's root I'm glad I got out of that constant boot :P

[Dell Streak 7] Meanc20:
My current situation.

Streak 7 boots after factory reset, asks for a password. there never was one. after numerous attempts i just decided to install another rom.

i have all the files etc and know how to flash it with clockwork, but i cant get it onto the internal sd. only the external. meaning clockwork cant detect it. im kinda stuck here....
[Dell Streak 7] treefrog20012003:
I had this issue once, I wiped again from recovery, cache and dalvic as well and it cleared up. Also I use fastboot to install everything for roms.

[Dell Streak 7] Meanc20:
sadly ive tried that repeatedly :L
[Dell Streak 7] treefrog20012003:
Did you use fastboot to reinstall the system, boot, and recovery files? This or Nvflash will be your only way to get out of it then.

Sent from a Hacked, Modded and customized Streak 7
[Dell Streak 7] Meanc20:
i could, if you have a solution to why it hangs at "starting fastboot usb download protocall"

and thanks for the help by the way. this has caused me too much stress lol

EDIT: And if you could help me with the fastboot commands afterwards that would be great. i know how to flash recovery and thats about it.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Its suppose to say that on your device.

Now plug it into the computer, install the fastboot drivers, grab a copy of fastboot.exe, and flash the images.
[Dell Streak 7] treefrog20012003:
Giveen, I am trying to help fill in for those that have been around longer than those of us that are new. I have to agree with the new people that it is difficult to find the knowledge on this site sometimes and the list of commands that are needed to get going. I know I have spent many hours on google, XDA, TabletRoms and WIKI looking for answers. I do get that it is frustrating for you as a developer as well. Sit back and relax and some of us newer noobs will try to assist.

You need to do more reading here, yea I know it's hard to find info sometimes. Google every way you can think of for your problem and an answer will be found. You don't have a brick yet but you need to know what your doing before diving into this stuff. I spent a week researching before I dived into this just to make sure I knew what I was doing. YouTube video search, flashing Dell streak 7, at least I think that is close enough. It is a for part series on how to flash a custom ROM from Nvflash but you need to read and find the fastboot commands and drivers. They are here.

Sent from a Hacked, Modded and customized Streak 7
[Dell Streak 7] Meanc20:
i have everything ready but fastboot commands dont work because the device is still stuck "starting the protocall"

i have the correct drivers etc installed but still nothing
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
That's what it's supposed to show till commands are sent from your PC. Do you have "still" have a yellow "?" mark in your device manager?

A quick function test is to type: fastboot reboot and your S7 should reboot.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
And this is why I plan on making a fastboot video.

I put CM7 on my X2 and for some reason my contacts are not syncing to my gmail account..?? Does anyone know how to take contacts from the phone and transfer to the computer using a usb hookup....what file would they be in..?? I flashed the paranoid android rom to my phone and found out they were not there....thank god for a nandroid ..i got them back....I know how to transfer the files ,I just can't find them in file explorer...any help would be appreciated..!!
[Motorola Droid X2] Soapy77:
As far as I know, you just setup your google account, then turn on automatic sync. Give it time to work.
[Motorola Droid X2] jaxgmfb:
I already have a Gmail account..but after I flashed cm7 my phone is not syncing ..??? Why
[Motorola Droid X2] GoClifGo05:
Do you have Titanium Backup? They can be transferred that way too since yours aren't syncing for whatever reason. Never had that problem personally. When you activated the phone again after the flash did you select the box during setup that says restore from google?
[Motorola Droid X2] jaxgmfb:
I'm not sure if I did that after I flashed...I do have titanium back up...but don't know where to find the contacts file to. Restore back to my phone...looked through the entire program and can't find it..??help would be greatly appreciated....!!
[Motorola Droid X2] Juice3250:
I am having the same issue with the contacts. I was never given the option to restore my contacts. After I added my Gmail account it took me directly to the play store.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I already posted in your other thread. But I'll say it again here too. It sounds like you didnt flash the gapps zip along with CM7. If you didnt do that, get the zip file and flash it in recovery. And if you havent already, use the patched CM7 recovery in that thread as well. Not the one you used to flash CM7.
[Motorola Droid X2] GoClifGo05:
Sign into gmail on a PC and see if your contacts are still in there.

Sent from my JB'd X2
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
if you go to contacts press menu button

should be a import/export option select export to sd card/storage

should be save as a .vcf file

connect phone to pc

open gmail on pc go to contacts more/import

navagate to your mot sdcard, select .vcf file

then retry syncing
[Motorola Droid X2] jaxgmfb:
Great

Thanks sd_shadow......u are the bomb dude...that worked great man....many thanks for the help...!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] YourWorstPoison:
I'm trying to flash two seperate ROMS. Cookies and Cream and Phandroid but get errors with both. It starts the install but then stops. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnrippa:
Update cwm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ManelScout4Life:
Make sure you have the GSM i717 note not the international version.

If you do install Goo manager from there install an open recovery (which will be twrp) and let the flashing commence :)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jrobb2007:
I'm new to rooting and running custom roms. Has anyone tried any of the latest version of CyanogenMod 10 for the evo lte. Is it stable is it fully functioning. Sorry for the noobness but we all start somewhere. Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] oOflyeyesOo:
I have been running it all day, I don't know the differences from the previous nightlies, probably the same tiny bugs. I haven't played around with it too much.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] El_Colombiano:
I have always been curious as to what the differences are between the MANY JB ROMS we have here. They all have the same problems...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ASAPSEVEN:
I've been using codefire cm10 JB ROM now for around 3 weeks it seems to me that everything is working fine so far. you should try it out I haven't had any problems yet... I'm going to stick with it :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TheDante69:
Ive been using the CMX CM10 JELLYBEAN ROM as my daily driver for the last six weeks and it is great. Personally i think the bugs are totally minor. Nothing you cant deal with really. I liked the CodefireX tweaks. I just update the Rom using the GooManager and for some reason they changed it from NIGHTLY to EXPERIMENTAL for whatever reason. Also noticed the CMX tweak are gone from the update? dont know why. Anyone here know? otherwise the ROM is really fast and stable enough.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] InfinityFlex:
Am I alone here? It looks great and is speedy as hell. But after I leave the house and I'm not on wifi any longer all the problems start popping up. Terrible signal (even confirmed using OpenSignal), only hold 3G half the time and NEVER get a 4G connection in the places I always get one on a ICS ROM. Also, camera is worthless. And MMS doesn't work almost always.

I really appreciate all the work everyone puts into it. I couldn't do any of the stuff these people are doing. I've tried CM10 and ParanoidAndroid and I can't wait until they hit a stable/primetime state. Just not there yet.

But if it's just me please somebody chime in! I have done PRL and profile updates on stock ROM before flashing so I don't believe it's that. Stock ROM and Mean ROM both give me great signal/data and 4G.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ASAPSEVEN:
right now I'm on codefire jb release date 26 plus I flashed the duocoreAOSPmod my phone is fast, and also I used the 3g uncap codefire tweak. I'm not having any 3g speed problems.

the reason why I'm still on #26 is because when I flashed the 04 nightly the WiFi will not work it just says error. So hopefully they fix that then I will update. If not I really would hate to discard codefire cause I like it a lot.

How come when setting a wallpaper it makes me crop the picture?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Markyzz:
Because you are selecting via gallery. Use the files directory to set without crop.

help anyone?
[Galaxy Note II General] missmary:
Hi there,

SO after I went through the root process (from galaxynote2root dot com) terminal worked fine however the device﻿ will not boot up CWM. It only boots into standard android recovery mode. I switched on my phone, downloaded a root checker app and it says it my phone isn't rooted. I can't even use Triangle Away to reset my custom binary count.

I am a noob, yes, but it's not my first rooting a phone. I followed the instructions perfectly but this problem persists (and increases my custom binary count) AND I know I'm not the only one with this problem.

HELP please.

installing custom rom

can i install custom roms after this method of rooting.. please help me regarding this
[Galaxy Note II General] benivolent:
hey zedomax,

I used this method to root my phone, but I'm having trouble installing stock recovery (I think) to get OTA updates.

I followed the stock recovery /unroot guide on your page (after a few tries, because it didn't seem to want to bring up the cwm menu at first). But using that cwm i installed the zipped recovery.

The problem is that when i go to the upgrade menu under the phone settings, it just keeps "searching for updates" but doesn't ever find anything. I used Kies 2 - which did show that i can update my firmware - but it also gave me an error that i have "custom software" and wouldn't let me continue on with the upgrade.

thoughts / help?

no CWM recovery for osx users with 4.1.2 note2

att sgh-i317/4.1.2 computer is a mac

i breeze right through the heimdall steps using the terminal commands provided. only my note2 WILL NOT enter CWM recovery. period. end of story. volume up + center home + power = stock android recovery EVERY SINGLE TIME.

this method worked fine under 4.1.1. i am now convinced this method is not compatible with 4.1.2 for osx users. i have not yet heard of ANY osx users who have rooted a 4.1.2 note2.

i hope i am wrong. i tried four times, flash counter = 4

N7100 can't root

I purchased a Note 2 N7100 clone.I've been trying to gain root so I could go back to a stock rom and get OTA.When I go thru the procedure,power,home power the android man is laying with a red check(not the standard screen I have seen).From that point it won't go into the download mode so I can proceed.This is a China clone with build number ALPS.ICS2.MP.V1.3,custom build version 1359719440,Kernal Version 3.0.131217V21 SMP PREEMPT Fri Feb 1 19:50:29 CST.

I'm assuming this CHN version may not let me play ? With root explorer I found a spot where the serial # in the text is not the same as on the phone.Would not let me change that either.

Any help would be appreciated. I've tried rootong one time before when it worked per the instructions so I didn't run into any trouble.That was on a legal brand/carrier based HTC Inspire 4G AT&T.I will also use this phone on AT&T like I do my Note 1.

[Galaxy Note II General] momashi:
You're first blunder was to buy that god awefull made in China fake Note 2 clone. What were you thinking??? Your next blunder was to try to apply a hack meant for the real Note on the clone. Honnestly, if your phone hasn't bricked, you are the luckiest nube alive (OR unluckiest, considering that you have to keep using that clone until it breaks down).
[Galaxy Note II General] pcrussell50:
This statement is correct. I keep a copy of windows 7 on one of my macs, and used that to root my Note 2. Many times. It was TOTALLY easy... especially if you are a newbie. The mac root never was anything more than a kludgey hack... and I am a mac and Linux guy. I pretty much only use Windows for things that you can't do with a mac... and this is one of them.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
This is probably more involved that you would like to go.

That is part of "ROM" itself and can't be removed like a apk in system app.

Do you want to remove it from the source and compile it yourself? Think that is the way you have to go to accomplish what you want. Maybe it can be edited out in the ROM.zip prior to flash but I don't know
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenpachizero:
dam, i hoped it would be simple, i may have to re-compile it as you say, cause since i removed themes, it obliviously crashes if i accidentally hit the theme button in settings, i'll go looking to see if i can find something relating to that, thanks
