S-OFF changes which partitions are write-protected at boot, and turns signature verification off, lets you do whatever you want to your phone.

Fake S-OFF is just having an ENG hboot (which ignores the S-ON flag), so if you ever end up overwriting the ENG hboot with SHIP, your phone could be stuck not booting (but its rather easy to fix)

Glad you got your issue sorted

Do you use your Galaxy Player 5.0's camera? What app do you use, or you use stock. Post some pics :D

Just wondering the quality, cuz my quality on is bad-decent. Just wondering if I could make it any better.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] atcq28:
I rarely use it but I use the stock app. Quality wise it's good no complaints here's a back yard photo
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rasa11:
I have the 4.0, not the 5.0.. But I always use the camera on it.

I usually use Pro Capture rather than the stock camera though.

I think the quality is pretty decent actually. Better than I expected it to be.

Kinda wish I had a flash like the 5.0, but whatever. lol

The quality is better than a family members 7-8 MP Kodak digicam, for sure. lol

Here's a recent shot from a hike~ (resized for forum)

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
Even when I was on Gingerbread, I never used the camera. It is inadequate and insufficient to get what I want out of a photograph. There is no "real" zoom on the lens and the megapixel count on the device is never going to produce any pictures of print quality.

Thus, for my photography needs, I go to a Nikon D7000 DSLR. In contrast, however, my wife uses Canon's Powershot Series camera, which is a very powerful, much cheaper alternative to a DSLR.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
I dont agree,i printed more then 100 pictures and they are very good(off coure not pro but dslr you care only in some situation and phone or player is always with you) ,there is no real zoom on any smartphone and there will not be in near future.

I love the camera on my player but I'm willing to not use it for the small time being because CM10 is coming out with a 3.xx kernel so the Camera will be working in no time.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] n64_ali:
I'm a bit reluctant to update to one of the ICS roms because I use the camera so often. Sure, it doesn't compare to a dedicated device but it's more than adequate image quality for sharing and/or even printing if you play around enough with the settings. Night shots are obviously pretty bad but can't say I expected much more from a tablet's camera.

Hey guys. I am not very optimistic but I thought I would ask. My mom asked new to root her phone and put on cyan 10 for her. During this process I had some issues and wound up rendering to stock with Odin and then tied and flash successfully. I didn't realize though that Odin would completely wipe the internal and she neglected to tell me she had pictures on there she wanted. Any possible way to recover data after a flash through Odin?

Worth A try
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Bluntified:
I've flashed through Odin numerous times and have never had any personal data deleted. Maybe you did something wrong? As for file recovery, use a data recovery software and see if you can retrieve files from it. I know it works on USB flash drives and RAM drives, it should, in theory, work for phones and devices as well. I use 'Recuva', I haven't tried it on my phone yet but I've recovered from USB drives and old hard drives and works like a charm.

If you do use this method, it's best to recover files to a USB drive or anything external, for safety and reliability reasons.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] songoku119:
I haven't ever had that issue either. It's partly why I didn't bother backing up those files in the first place. I'm going to go pay her a visit again today and brave the scolding to give this a try. I'll post back my results. : fingers crossed :

[LG Optimus 2x] HoudiniG:
I have LG Optimus 2X locked to Wind. My son installed the gingerbread software on it around six months ago. The phone works great. I tried to unlock it but I am unable to type in the code because no window pops up after inserting the sim card from a different provider. the phone goes to home screen. I typed in the numbers from instructions provided by the person. The message reads NO ACTIVE NETWORK AVAILABLE when the sim is from different provider but if I type in the same numbers when my active sim card is inserted the USSD code start running and after few seconds the message is IME code concealed. Thus I can not get the little window to type in the unlock code. Thanks for help in advance.
[LG Optimus 2x] kt-Froggy:
What are you typing to get to the dialog for entering the code? For P990, it is 2945#*990# (I know it works, as I used it myself), so I would think for P999 it would be 2945#*999#.

Keep in mind that the phone may not be able to accept the unlock code for several reasons (not sure about your phone, though). For example, too many unsuccessful attempts to enter an unlock code could lock the phone permanently. Or, the operator-branded firmware would not allow access to this function. Places that provide unlock services usually advise you to check in advance, before purchasing, whether you can actually enter an unlock code into your phone...
[LG Optimus 2x] DupleX01:
I think you need to be on a stock ROM to unlock the phone. Once done, it will remain unlocked and you can restore your previous ROM from a nandroid backup and try the other SIM card. Mind you, the P999 only gonna work in 3G either with Mobilicity or Vidéotron. With the rest of the carriers (Rogers, Fido) you will only get 2G connectivity.

In regards to Wind/other stock ROMs, nandroid backup/restore, etc check the P999 (aka G2X) dedicated thread. The phone is falsely advertised by Wind, it is not the Optimus 2X. The right thread for further information:

There are a couple of things you can do:

1) Uninstall the Swype keyboard with TB and then go through the Swype Beta process which does include "speech to text" (mic) key

2) Using the new Swype keyboard, when your keyboard is present on the screen, pull down the notification bar, click on Choose input method, select Google voice typing, and you are magically in "speech to text" mode. (Not very intuitive but it works in a pinch)

3) If you use Handcent for texting, you can hit the menu button, and there is the "speech to text" option.

Actually, it looks like you are in Google Now or Google Search. Just hit the mic button on the Google box on top!

An imei folder, root folder, .nwksimpin, and nv.log i didn't have an nv_data.bin or anything. I've been searching all over and I was wondering if there is anyway to crate a new one or something. maybe get someone else's and change the lines in it to have my iemi number or the generic samsung.

Hi,

I have installed/uninstalled/flashed/reflashed lots of roms/apps... and it has come to a point where I already know the type of apps that I normally use.. i found out that there are some folders that stays in my SD card even if I uninstalled apps..

So my question is, i have done a CWM back-up long before I did all those stuff (above).. so if I just delete all of my files and folders from my SD Card except for the clockworkmod folder, can I still restore my cwm back-up (which is as clean as far as I remember) successfully? or would my restore process break?

or is there a better way to clean up unused folders from my SD Card?

Thanks...

then connect your phone with usb to pc then take out the titanium backup folder into your pc desktop

then delete all the files present at your sd card

if this is what you want ...

my confuse is...

if i backup again, it means my stockrom backup will be missing.

and...

1. after i clean up or formating my sdcard (b4 that,i move my cwm folder 1st to PC ofcourse).

2. i put back again my cwm folder to sdcard,

3. get in into cwm recovery,

4. and restore.

are my step is correct??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zhanjia:
App plus data, without the data, your app will be like a new installed app, like the your login info has to be typed in again

And if you do another backup via CWM, you stock rom backup will still be there. and there will be two options to choose from when your restoring.
