[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aCs_ND:
Hello

I tried to install the WIUI rom -

Stable GB+version

- for Defy Plus ( my device is BL7 Android 2.3.6) today and encountered a discrepancy in the install guide pasted below.

1. Download 2ndinit 1.4.2-----> DONE

2. install 2ndinit (Important!:following the instructions)--->DONE

3. Boot into bootmenu by pressing volume down when device flashes a blue led at bootup. Set default boot mode to 2nd init.-----> DONE

4. (a) Select Recovery/Stable Recovery. ---->There is no such option available. The available options are :

1. Custom Recovery, &

2. Stock Recovery

------> So which option do we choose?

Did not proceed to the following stages

(b) Choose "Wipe Data/Cache" option. Let finish--->

5. Choose Install zip from SD Card, select WajkIUI_multilang .zip and let it finish.

6. select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot Now!

(If you are stuck on boot (Motorola logo), do 4th and 6th point again.)

7. After boot, set your prefered language in Settings menu

8. Done! Recommend: use Battery Calibration for maximum battery.

Anyone having installed WIUI on a device similar to mine and having faced the same confusion as me, willing to help ?

aCs

ps: I have encountered only one thread where such a problem is described and that person went the CM way rather than continue with WIUI. So if I have missed any thread detailing this problem and the solution please point me to it. Thanks
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariuspad:
chose custom recovery and follow next steps.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aCs_ND:
Unsuccessful attempt

Method Followed: As indicated in WIUI Rom thread.

First discrepancy:

Select Recovery/Stable Recovery. ---->There is no such option available. The available options are :

1. Custom Recovery, &

2. Stock Recovery

So I chose Custom Recovery

Then again instructions followed per the thread:

Wipe Data stage

Message from install utility:

*Data wipe complete

*E: can't open /tmp/recovery.log

Wipe Cache Stage

Message from install utility:

*Cache Wipe complete

*E: can't open /tmp/recovery.log

Install Zip from SD Card

Selected Wajkui_Multilang*.*

Message from install utility:

*Finding Update Package

*Opening Update Package

*Installing Update Package

*E: Can't make /tmp/update.binary

*Installation aborted

Now the question needs to be answered is:

Was there a problem in the way I followed the instructions , if so what?

If the answer to the above is No based upon the record of the install/flash process listed above:

Why did the install abort?

Is the install procedure method listed on the ROM thread NOT suitable for Defy Plus BL7 Android version 2.3.6 devices which have been rooted using the procedure listed over here------>http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1542956
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nishantgandhi:
I too have a MB526 with BL7 and rooted the same way. I am running WajkIUI 2.5.27 successfully. All the steps are mentioned correct. Choose Custom Recovery and you'll have the option of Stable Recovery within that.

Just re-download the ROM file. IT might be that your ZIP is corrupt.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aCs_ND:
Thank you for your response.

I tried to see if there is a sub-option titled Stable Recovery within Custom REcovery. No such option. Please confirm you are using 2ndinit 1.4.2.

I checked the zip file using Winzip. It is not corrupt.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nishantgandhi:
No brother! You are to use ver 2.3.

My file name reads as 'SndInitDefy_2.3'. Attached is the APK for you!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackajay:
how to remove/uninstall recovery,i have installed v2.3
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aCs_ND:
Thanks once again for your help. I too had downloaded ver 2.3 to start with but after going through the install guide went for the lower version. Will test it out and see if I succeed.

Just saw your initial thread when you ventured out to root your phone and flash it. You mention you installed CM10 and liked it. So did you switch to WIUI and if so why? Which in your opinion is a better build in terms of stability?

You must use the "manage app" options to uninstall any app including 2ndinit.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nishantgandhi:
Yes I did install CM10 to begin with. Heck, I had bought Defy+ only with the intent of flashing a good JB ROM on it.

However, there was quite a bit of lag (especially when the call comes in, or when you launch the dialer, or while playing games like Temple Run etc). The battery life was pathetic and it didnt suit as a daily build.

I stumbled upon WajkIUI and thought of giving it a try. Boy, what a fabulous ROM it is. You don't even feel the need for JB. This ROM is super smooth, fast, stable and what have you. No FC or restart at all. I simply loved it from the first day.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aCs_ND:
Hello

It worked. All thanks to you, as I had given up.Also initial impressions confirm your view of the WIUI Rom. However there is no Stable Recovery

option in Recovery during the install process. A couple of small niggles but more or less everything is functional as it should be .

If you think it proper, you could compile a comprehensive guide and post it. It will be a boon for all Defy Plus users whose devices are similar to your and mine and intend to ROOT &/or flash WIUI. I was fortunate that you chanced upon my thread and therefore I could solve the problem, but a guide would ensure your knowledge will be available to any one who is searching to go down this route.

Regards

I found the same error while installing the PVL Stock Rom for defy plus. After rebooting, i was back on my stock rooted rom, with all the apps missing including sndinitdefy. But the clockworkmod is still accessible. So if i install the new version of sndinitdefy, will it automatically replace the clockwordmod associated with it? Thanks for your reply!

and is it true that it has a locked bootloader and no new firmwares can be installed (such as Jelly Bean)?

Thanks in advance!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMJets:
Kindle Fire 2's and Kindle Fire HD's both have locked bootloaders and have a ecosystem based upon Amazon ICS. There is no Jellybean, official or not official at the moment. Do not buy it expecting a hack. But you should be fine rooting it, and using it with applications and modifications around this forums.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naddel81:
great, thanks for your reply! ordered the Kindle 2/Kindle 2012 today. can I use this here even though it does say Kindle Fire HD???

"This tool will root your device based on my qemu local.prop root method.

Just download and unzip everything into a directory; then run RootQemu.bat from that directory (if you do not currently have the device drivers for your device, they are attached to this post, please install them, please use them to install your device before attempting the process).

A video with how to do this is available here http://xdaforums.com/show...php?p=31728742

Neither ADB nor the SDK need to be installed as all needed files are included in the attachments below (though it won't hurt anything if they are).

Helpful tip:

Make sure no other Android device is connected to your PC

Will let you know tomorrow! But how to get the Google Play Store on my Kindle after rooting the device?!? Is there a tutorial here?

EDIT: Found the tut, but dunno how to get permissions without explorer :(
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMJets:
I would recommend sideloading a explorer application with root access to system/app. This way you can change your permissions.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just|Me:
it's kind of self-explaining and not very difficult. sometimes you need to work around the problem because it could be you'll face some of the probs other users had with installing the play-store. msg me if you need further help so we can handle it in german. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] SaticICE:
I have searched for a thread on this, so I am sorry if I am repeating existing knowledge.

I have a subscription to NOW TV powered by Sky as was annoyed that it did not work on my ICS Powered S3.

But, I was able to get it working by editing my build.prop and setting:

ro.build.version.release=4.0.0

Doing this (even with root enabled still) worked straight away.

Edit - second attemt showed it was not working fully :(

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevegold6:
Upgraded from my Rooted Galaxy S1 to a shiny new S3 and rooted because it did improve the performance of the S1.

Since doing so my phone intermittently turns off and restarts.

Its a UK phone on Tmobile. Will some kind soul point me in the right direction on how to get my phone back to stock.

I rooted the phone using Odin. I have deleted most of the rooted apps the exceptions being cwm manager, root checker, super user and voodoo ota rootkeeper.

Any help appreciated

Thanks

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mossy1963:
Factory reset
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0semaj0:
Google for Branded ROMs and reflash through Odin the original ROM if you "wish you hadnt rooted" your phone...there could be many reasons that cause such issues...such as the phone hardware itself which in your case regardless of rooted or not will still present such issues...if it was a software issue, either you have selected the incorrect insecure kernel or...your phone has no love for you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackyz:
Factory reset will solve ur problem
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaytronics:
Go into recovery and fix permissions. If that fails, like the other person stated, factory reset. If that doesn't work. The rooting process must have messed up when you did it. Use Odin and factory firmware to go back to stock. Then try the root process again. But look for another method to do so. I am not on TMobil so I don't know how that works with that phone. But there are a ton of posts here that explain everything in detail going forward and backwards. Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

You can try updating your base-band or flashing the libs for your current base-band.

Here's a really cool thread with all base-band info - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1688049

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 6i9:
I ended up smashing my Samsung Galaxy at the gym two days ago. I bought it in May 2011 and it has been such a sweet device. Instead of getting the phone repaired I thought I may as well just buy a new one. I have been keeping a close eye on the speculation for the conference next week and I've been doing some research on Androids offerings. Please keep in mind I am a university student and whilst I am prepared to spend quite a bit on a new unlocked, device, $500 is more-or-less my limit. 16gb of storage is fine for me too. I have an iPod touch for my music. (keep in mind i'm in Australia).

Option 1: Nexus 4. If the rumoured specs on the LG Nexus are true, and the price is below $500 this would be my first preference.

Option 2: Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Typically because I love the true google experience. I had CM10 and Slim Bean ROMs on my SGS1 before it broke. This is more-or-less $330 online for the 16gb version. Big advantage of having quick, direct Android OS updates too.

Option 3: Samsung Galaxy S3. This is a monster phone, the only thing that concerns me is the size of the phone, especially once a protective cover has been added to it. I can be a little bit reckless and would prefer to keep a cover on it. The specs on this are insane, however the price is around $470 (for 32gb) and I am very hesitant to root the phone this time round. I am also not the biggest fan of touchwiz.

I have also kept in mind that the prices of SGS3 and the GNex are likely to drop after the new phones are unveiled. I am really looking for experiences that people have with these two phones as well. Complaints and recommendations would be great!

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evil_penguin:
FYI

There are thousands of threads like this. Please do a search. You will get your answer definitely!:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Definitely wait it out til next week.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
I would wait a week if you can. If the nexus 4 is a dud then at least the galaxy Nexus will be cheaper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brunswick000:
The LG Nexus 4, or whatever it will be called will undoubtedly be better than the GNex. Wait a week.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anil76:
I moved from galaxy S to Gnex in Aug and quite happy with the experience(stability n performance)... will probably never buy anything other than the nexus phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tameracingdriver:
Re: option 3 - The SGS3 is no bigger physically than the Nexus (either LG or Samsung) so your point about it being too big is unfounded.

I'd also wait and see what the LGN4 is like, even though I am not a fan of LGs quality control (worse than Samsung TBH).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheTenth:
+1

I bought my Gnex very recently, was hesitating with SGS3 and the 2 things that made me chose Gnex over SGS3 are :

- price (well i sometimes act rational) :D

- that awful glossy plastic of SGS3

I'll definitively have a look at LGN4 but if I go on being reasonable, I'll keep my Gnex and buy a Nexus tab instead...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brooksyx:
I would get the galaxy nexus again. I personally love this phone so much and don't care that its getting out dated. I see myself using it for at least the next year (just got it a month ago from the play store). But that being said I would hold out if possible as the price may drop when the new nexus hits.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mfyrle:
I`m also verry sattisfied with the Gnex but i will have a look at the Google LG!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:

get the gnex

Wait for the LG Nexus! Its pretty much confirmed. Just gotta wait for it to be released to see pricing etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ilmezzelfo:
go for gnexus i have nexus s before now is all more smooth and cool screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 6i9:
Thanks all for your replies.

I will wait til next Monday to see what Android bring out.

EDIT: If the LG Nexus is revealed as expected with all the rumoured specs, should I be worried that the battery is not replaceable? I've seen so many people with iPhone battery issues but then again this isn't Apple.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlueCuda:
I don't think you will have much issues with your battery. I have never had any issues with my battery's on any of my phones (including gnex, dinc, and gs3). The only thing I would be worried about with the battery is if the phone locks up you can't pull the battery, but I am pretty sure you can hard reset it with volume + power.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 6i9:
Hmm thanks. Hopefully the phone is reasonably priced to buy unlocked!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Purpeltendire:
I'm planning on getting the GNex very soon. I could care less about outdated hardware, as I've spent the last two years on a KIN device (A weird pre-Windows-Phone Windows Phone) and an LG EnV3. The GNex has the added benefit of always getting immediate OTA updates, and when the time comes (And it will come... ) to start playing, I know I have a fabulous development community to immerse myself in and hopefully contribute to. The user experience ALWAYS outweighs an edge in hardware.

Also, price is a huge deal for me, as I'm on a student budget. I can't run around and drop $200-300 on some shiny new toy that came out, when I drop similar moneys on a monthly basis to get to school and back. So yes, the fact that I can get a LTE Galaxy Nexus for $30 off of Amazon and continue my Verizon contract is a fairly big selling point for me.

That being said, if Verizon were to get the new Nexus device and it happened to be reasonably cheap (Say, $100 or below) then I would likely shell out for that. However, those chances are slim to none, so I reckon I'm safe.

Hope this helps. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 6i9:
I'm in Australia so it works a bit different here. I'm also on a student budget but I work weekly and earn a reasonable income to purchase a ~$400 device which is just over a weeks pay for me atm.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
Is there a reason EL26 kernal is recommended more than EL29 kernal to flash from? With my phone, I seem to have less issues when I Odin back to stock EL29 and then use EL29 direct boot CWM to load roms. From what I have read, they are both safe, but just wanted to know why one seems to be recommended more often than the other.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
This is only my opinion but maybe someone like Garwynn or someone that has the whole back story will chime in:

It's not just the kernel involved, it's the Recovery. When the emmc bug reared it's ugly head, we had el26 cwm (Chris41g) and an EL29 Rouge recovery. This was also when the build was going from GB to ICS. Bricks were happening with ICS builds with Rouge recoveries.

Unfortunately, and this is my opinion, everyone got used to saying "stay away from Rouge, etc etc" and people got used to saying el26 cwm is the safest.

Chris41g didn't do a el29 cwm. (If he did, it's not in the normal public places)

It has been said by Garwynn and others, after their many hours of testing and research, (you can find all the guts in the emmc thread) that GB recoveries are ok because of the write methods not causing the emmc bug to bite.

So in short, people are sticking to what they know as the general rule, which is el26 cwm.

Hope I made some since and please someone, correct my errors.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
MoHo, That makes perfect sense from what I have read. I have only been doing this for about a month, but I am becoming a flash-aholic slowly but surely. I just wanted a little background on this and with the EL29 direct boot CWM5, it seems to get you to the same place to load your roms, CWM5.
