[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] aarons510:
I've had some limited success. I downloaded sbf_flash, added .sh to the name and made it executable, then downloaded "VZW_A855_FRG01B_QSC6085BP_C_01.43.01P_SW_UPDATE_01.sbf" (a.k.a. 'FRG83G') from Peter Alfonso's site. I managed to get each of my two broken-touch droids (ignoring a third one I have with a broken USB/charge port!) into the mode with 'OK to Program' on the screen, and ran 'sudo ./sbf_flash.sh *.sbf' from the directory containing the two downloads. This got both of them into a state where I was supposed to 'touch' a green android, but couldn't, so I don't even know what ROM I have installed and whether it is rooted or not.

Any suggestions as to what further testing I can do on these Droids before deciding which to take apart and install the new digitizer on? Any way to get into USB Debugging mode without navigating with a touch screen?

BTW, one of the Droids also has a very unreliable (i.e., nearly useless) power button, so I got that one into the bootloader mode by (1) removing the battery, (2) connecting a factory cable to the Droid and then to the computer while holding down the 'up' button on the D-Pad, and (3) replacing the battery. Then I removed the factory cable and replaced it with a standard one before running sbf_flash. (Maybe I could have done it with the factory cable left in, but I didn't try.)
[HTC One V] michaelpat87:
Hey Guys,

I am running running AOKP CM10 Nightlies on my HTC One V right now. I am running the latest sep-30 version with Jellyboot4.img. The ROM is not recognizing my SD card which makes life a bit hard. I have not read anyone else having this problem in the forums and can't post there yet because I have just signed up.

Anyone run into this problem before? Is it the ROM or is it my phone. Any work arounds? I maybe new to the forums but I have done my fair share of rooting and such and know my way around.

Advice is appreciated.

Thanks
[HTC One V] romilar:
Yeah! Me too!

I'm having the same problem, I think;

installed the CM10 CDMA Rom, used the boot.img from jellyboot5.

had the SDcard out (old 16gb from my Optimus V), tried to run Google Earth and it told me it couldn't do it without an SDCard. Put the card back in, ran GE again and it booted fine; i even saw, in Storage, that it was mounted, gave a correct number for free space/capacity. Got a 32GB micro SDHC today, shoved it in the thing--replaced the 16GB--and when i tried to download something from the web in Chrome it told me it couldn't do it without an SD card. Storage reported its presence, its empty presence. Ran something else that needed an SD Card, it reported the card's absence. Still recognized in Storage, was able to USB it and look at it from my laptop; these apps still can't acknowledge it.

Not sure why. Both cards do this.

Anybody got any idea?

---------- Post added at 04:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 AM ----------

Alright;

Tried formatting the card weird, waiting for the error and to reformat on the One V. just kept unmounting/mounting. Formatted it FAT32 on the PC, threw it back in.

the SDcard is visible to dropbox (for exporting) and ES File Explorer (for examining).

the SDcard is NOT visible to Chrome (for downloading) or Swiftkey's installer (for dictionary storage).

Dunno about music or gallery photos, other common SDcard stuff. Guess I'll try that next.

so the news are that the galaxy s2 is getting an official update

the gs2...not the epic 4g touch, not the sky rocket, only the gs2

so my guess is that is getting BOTH versions?

or only the skyrocket?

i am a little confused can someone tell me?

i really love JB, and with touchwiz it would be simply awesome!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
international gs2? lol just saying..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Yeah. When Samsung says they are pushing an official update to the Galaxy S II. They always push the update to the international variant first.

This is good news for us as well, if the international S2 is getting an official update, that means Samsung is actively developing for the US variants as well. Since we have an Exynos processor just like the international... we should be next in line.

Understand Note 2 is running at 2.4/5.0 GHz. Is Note 2 running automatically at 2.4 or 5.0 GHz depending on the AP? It is important as not all devices are running at 5.0 GHz so the devices may have a mix of both 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz ones.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MrKickstand:
Ok so i have a Razr Xt912, i have it rooted and running safestrap. Ive been looking around since ive seen awhile back on the portal it can be used with GSM carriers. But the more i look into it the more convoluted it gets. So is it really possible to get it to work on GSM like AT&T and T-Mobile? and if so can some one please give me links since ive searched and searched but nothing is making sense to me for once.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jbryson16:
i feel your pain homes. it is confusing and i never could get any help from anybody on this. i dont know if youve gotten the info you are looking for. i figured id give you what i got when i was looking just in case. from what i gathered the rooting and bootstrap deal would work to unlock razrs that were still on gb to be used on global gsm carriers but not domestic(att/tmobile). however if youve already upgraded to ics then no modding is necessary because ics is already unlocked for global use. there is currently no way to unlock the razr for domestic gsm usage. not even by purchasing an unlock code. i know because i tried that. i purchased 3 different unlock codes for 2 different razrs and 1 razr maxx from theunlockshack.com and they replied saying they couldnt generate a code. although they never refunded my money for the purchases. so i advise to not do business with them. i also purchased another code from a different site, dont remember which. they were also unable to generate a code. i even called verizon and talked to somebody in some special department. the guy told me that there is no way that verizon would unlock the razr or razr maxx for domestic gsm usage. the rep said there may be a way to unlock via rooting but couldnt give me specifics. im assuming he maybe saw some of the same info that we did that lead us down the this journey of disappointment. hope that helps bud... if i am wrong please correct me for i have 2 razrs and 1 razr max all with clean esn's that i want to unlock. all 3 are for sale
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chagla:
but verizon is supposed to all ALL of its LTE phones with gsm unlocked. (lte phones that have gsm chips). its how verizon iphone 5 is basically factory gsm unlocked. even for US domestic use. verizon is legally obligated.

No licensee may disable features on handsets it provides to customers, to the extent such features are compliant with the licensee's standards pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section, nor configure handsets it provides to prohibit use of such handsets on other providers' networks.

Are there any AOSP ROMs for this phone that allow play content to be watched? Did some reading and it seems cm10 (one of the nightlies) has success but the rest (codename, paranoid, aokp, miui) supposedly have issues. I am on codename from 9/30 and get error code 0 trying to download my purchases. Anyone using an AOSP based rom have success and on which build?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsjc741:
I've kinda noticed this more than other phones I've messed with in the past, so I feel pretty confident saying the ROM's produced seem very similar. With the exception of MIUI, all AOSP, AOPK, and all OTA releases feel very generic. Of course Kang has a different theme setup and tweeker than say CM10 or another AOSP based ROM.

Coming from the photon, it was almost like going from the garden of eden to a desert, considering the Photon had "kitchen sink" ROMs with touch based installers that could install or not install multiple launchers, kernels, mods, tweaks, system bases, etc.

So I guess my question is:

Will there be any variation in design, or will it be another couple of months of "here's my custom ROM that's the same as the one before me, but this time it has a *insert tweak here* too"

I'm sorry for ripping on the developers, but I'm tired of seeing " I tried to keep the stock look/not "over bloat" it" when I'm sure there's a demand for better looking ROMs. Stock should not be a standard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
make one. or, flash a theme. flashable mods maybe? there are lots of different launchers available in the different markets. what else do you want?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
You obviously bought the wrong phone. The gnex is for those that want the pure android expierence. Even when you plan on ROM'img that's what your gunna see period with a stock android phone. Most if not all people here like that ... that's why we bought the phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikedyk43:
I sounds to me that you are looking to find the type of pre-themed ROMs that were very popular in the not too distant past. While I will agree that many of the ROMs may appear similar, the differences are no longer focused on aesthetics and more on performance tweaks and also on additional options and settings. You may have noticed that many of the ROMs now support a theme engine which allows you to pick any of the hundreds of themes available in the market and color it any way you'd like. There are several different kernels available and even a few launchers as well.

[Q] Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.Select recovery mode in Kies & try againn

Hey guys i just got my Galaxy s 3 tonight and I came home and tried to root it.I was in Odin. I selected PDA, selected the tar file and tried to root. It started then said "fail." I tried to restart but I'm stuck at a screen saying "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again." I am using a Rogers Galaxy S3 in Canada. All I'm seeing on my screen is "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again." At the top left it says:

Just for giggles, plug your phone into Odin on that screen. If it recognizes it (blue com box lights up), use that screen as download mode. But, i would download your file again, making sure to get the one for the I747M.

If you can get your device back into download mode, you could relay the stock firmware from www.stockbroker.net. Select the file you downloaded under pda in Odin and flash it. Hope this helps. You can try to root again from there.

Upgraded to 4.1.1 even after soft-brick !

Soft-brick aka " firmware upgrade encountered an issue " - screen in galaxy s3 sgh-i747 is a warning bell that somehow device might get interrupted while updating firmware , now i tried twice with old odin , and twice with new odin , what you got to do is just keep on trying and make sure that your galaxy s3 SGH-i747 drives are installed then after restart your pc , tried kies already , just waste of times , wasted 2 hours yet that official software didnt help me to upgrade or recover my device !

Finally i executed Odin 3.7 ( run as admin ) then --> ticked box : auto reboot , F. reset time ! upload that Firmware upgrade of Jelly bean in PDA section and wait till it gets loaded then press start ! ( i had to do this 3 times n then it worked , so dont lose the hope , keep trying over and over again ) and it will take 6~7 minutes as new OS is big around 1 GB ! so dont unplug device and ur done , then after completion , cellphone will restart with new settings and new OS !

I found a fix for this problem

1)Download this file www.mediafire.com/?bbfsnnub9gzg5wj

2)Go into download mode

3) connect your device to the computer and run ODIN as an administrator

4)Open the file and click start

5) Your phone should reboot

6) if your phone gets in a boot loop you need to download the latest firmware for your device

I hope this could help you, if the instructuions were unclear, send me a message and i will do my best to help you! :D
