[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jhenson496:
Ok, so I've been flashing Roms since I first had the G1 but my step sons Galaxy S II is giving me fits as of late.

I've been working on it for over 2 days now and can not figure the problem even after reading through all the how to's and individual rom threads. I initialy rooted his phone back in April/May and had a early ICS phandroid rom on it. However I wanted to move him to JB. I've done the customary wipe data/cache but no matter what JB rom I flash it goes into what I believe is a bootloop. I've read several places it been said to let sit after flashing for 10 minutes so I let sit for 20 and it was still on boot (but no obvious point where you can tell it's looping).

When I went to restore his backup that would no longer boot at all, just a blank screen. So long story short I restored everything to stock then updated to ICS through keis. and tried the process again thinking it might need updated firmware/radio. Same thing happened and I had to restore stock and update through keis again. I am now at a complete loss as I update my phone (One S) and wifes (GSIII) atleast once a week on nightlies.

The one thing that I thought was odd is both on the original 2.3.6 and now 4.0.4 when I go into settings at search for update i get a message saying "no firmware". Not sure if that means anything but it didn't sound right to me.

Any help or suggestions would be overwhelmingly appreciated.

You will get different methods on here but for starters what recovery are you running. Thats problem 1 I guarantee for your bootloop. I use TWRP 2.3 which can be found by downloading goo.im and flashing it from the menu screen. You can also go to the forum here in development for the zip file.

When using TWRP or any touch recovery do not use the wipe scripts. Lets start there.... Since the method to flashing is basically the same all over its just the wiping procedure with the wrong recovery can be tricky
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jhenson496:
I'm using CWM 6.0.3 I believe he's at school so I don't have the phone to know the exact CWM version. It's also not the touch version. How should I go about wiping data/cache for his phone then? I've never used TWRP but going to assume if you've used one recovery it's pretty similar or self explanatory.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
I personally prefer that recovery and I'm running a cm 10 on my phone with no issues at never had anything. Yes it's rather simple to put on an even if you want to try the CWM touch recovery by all means go ahead
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jhenson496:
Ok, I'll give TWRP a try when he gets home. I guess my next question would be is there a different way of wiping then with other phones?

Do I need the recovery to be touch (never heard of a recovery needing touch version)

Anything different then wiping dalvik, cashe and data? Also I've look around and do not see an actual JB radio. So I'm assuming the ULVH1 radio would work for ICS & JB.

I appreciate your help with this btw.

CHANGELOG for 2.3.0.0:

There is a lil something from the TWRP thread about the new recovery... basically its built off a JB which improves the features being used like wipes, fix permissions, backups etc. Its not that its solely touch but it was the direction most if not all recoveries have gone to basically preserve that power button and vol keys of our phones. It kinda makes sense...

So with updated technology just came a better way to use a recovery and since the SGII originally had wiping issues TWRP on this phone is made solely for this phone which cut out alot of issues. Now if you prefer a non touch may I suggest 5.0.2.7 w/darkside cache wipes and you would be ok as well. Honestly though I dont think anyone would be upset with TWRP its quite nice

I would switch to Clockwork Recovery 5.0.2.7 which you can find in ROMmanager app. Thus, you can use TDJ's Darkside super wipe and cache wipe scripts which install very clean.

Finding his scripts might be a bit of a challenge but they are out there. I have them but not sure how i can get them to you... my dropbox isnt working.

if you do find those scripts, then the flash is simple...

reboot into recovery

Flash TDJ's Darkside SUPERWIPE

Flash your ROM or Gapps depending on what that OP says goes first

Flash Darkside CACHE wipe

Reboot, let is settle 10 mins reboot

That works with 5.0.2.7 where you have to mash the side buttons.. Ive installed a few JB and ICS roms this way, worked well for me.

Hit thanks if i helped :)

Try taking the battery out and then back in to see if that makes a difference.

Failing that, try re-rooting using AAHK.

I think of all you don´t understand my problem.. i don´t get it booted it stucks on the htc screen while it´s vibrating..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
You should usually be able to access ADB through the computer when the phone is on the HTC splash screen.

Additionally, your problem sounds an awful lot like a messed bootloader. Instructions on fixing that are on the bottom of page 3 of the PDF on post #7 of the "need help" link of my signature, the section titled "Fixing a Messed Bootloader." Read those carefully. However, I would strongly recommend that before you do anything else you either head over to the Ace Think Tank thread and see if glevitan (the author of the PDF) can help you, or wait and hope for him to show up here.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teichopsia:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
Passi, that is why you messed the bootloader by flashing a froyo RUU or froyo hboot. wait until the phone gets to bootloader...it might take a while.

You shouldn't be messing around with a device with a broken volume rocker. The fix for this (if you achive to enter hboot) is in the guide in my signature.

That is all the help that I will provide because what happened to you is fully documented and covered everywhere. You are warned not to do it...:good:

I use the Elelinux Froyo 2.2.1. It runs nice!

Yesterday, I was listening to MP3's unil the battery went down.

Now, the HTC Hero is in a bootloop.

I wiped the Dalvik-cache, but no luck.

Is there a way to recover and keep most of my data?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kemoba:
Make a nanddroid backup, wipe data+cache, flash the ROM, go to restore backup/ advanced restore/yourbackupname and just restore the data partition. That should do it
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilvermeeuw:
For other readers: install recovery image from Clockworkmod first. :o

@kemoba: After flashing the rom, I started the HTC and it works. Than I restored only the data partition of the 'broken' image. After this, the HTC has the bootloop again.

Do you have any tips how to proceed now?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kemoba:
Like I said, some app is corrupting your ROM, your only option is to either get me some logcat so i can see what is wrong with it or to reflash the ROM without restoring the nandroid and installing all your apps all over again
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilvermeeuw:
It's no problem to reflash and install the apps, but I typed some info in colornote, tracks in My Tracks and contact and phonenumbers, which I want to have.

I search now with =tools/adb shell= through all dir's on the phone.

Update:

colornote: There backup files on the sdcard. Lets see, if I can find the originals.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kemoba:
If you want you can upload the data.img from the /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/backupname folder and i'll extract you your data if you want
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilvermeeuw:
Thats nice!!

I am able to extract data myself now. But I cannot find the place, where the contacts are stored. Do you know, where they are?

EDIT:

I was able to start the phone after replacing /data/system/packages.* with a working one. Not all apps are working, but I was able to make a backup of my data.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickro:
I dont think it's necessary to back up your contacts.

If you have a google account, it will save them.

And you can get the contacts back after you resynchronize with google.

I'm interesting to flash CM7.2 for dey+, but I have a question.

I have seen that there is a "CM9 kernel" (gingerbread) and battery fix.

Hi all, I've accidentally partitioned the sd-card through recovery and I don't need any ext partition (from romracers recovery there wasn't any undo option). I've tried formatting it through windows or gparted. Windows recognise only the fat partition so that one is the only one it formats; gparted sees both but if I try to remove the ext and format everything as fat32, the phone reject the sdcard not mounting it and giving an error. Any solution please? I'd like to have the original storage space! Thank you all!

Delete all partitions with gparted, then partition/format in the phone.

Partly, yes, but often it is just a visual bug so that the actual signal strength is not shown correctly.

That said, I've found that on jb, wifi channels above 10 work very poorly. I'm guessing you're from Germany, so have a look at which channel your wifi is on.

sorry for my poor english.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] adytum:
First of all, make sure you do not have "avoid poor connections" ticked in wifi advanced settings.

The channel is easy to change, but you do this by logging in on the control panel of the modem, you'll need a username and password.

You could also try an app, wifi analyzer for instance, which shows you which channel the networks are on. For me, changing channels down to 5 from 12 made a huge impact, but others have not had any effect from it.

Usually the channels above 10 are only in use in Europe and Japan, so some isps here will set their router to high channels to avoid interference from other nets on the common channels.

@JCBG I can't see what that article has to do with wifi signal?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] rest0ck:
Thank you. I will give it a try when I am at home again. Here where I am now the WiFi uses channel 4 BTW (my gf don't know their router password >.>). Which one should work good?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] adytum:
Well, channel 4 should actually be in the good range.

As far as I know, nobody has come up with any alternative solutions to this issue.

I might add that for me, disabling qos, quality of service, on my router, improved the speed, but not the visual signal indication of my phone's wifi.

You needn't root it before, but if I were you I would downgrade to gingerbread before unlocking bootloader, after that flash a prerooted kernel like rage kernel for gingerbread and your device will automaticly be rooted ;)

1. No difference. You'll just have ics firmware . You can just unlock your bootloader the official way while in ics and just like that flash a custom prerooted ics kernel .
