[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hayabusa_XDA:
Sorry, no more ideas.

SGS's flashable rom (8GB) is one big piece of ROM, logically divided by software into several partitions like a PC's harddisk. It is very unlikely that every part is working but only the part with the "sd-card" is corrupt.

Similar to PC there is a bootloader, a partition table and the partitions itselves, each formated with a certain file system (Samsung's rfs by default).

If you're doing an Odin flash with re-partitioning almost everthing with the exception of the bootloader should be rewrittten anew, e.g. partition table and in the ongoing process you could notice Odin messages formatting the partitions anew.

Is there any hint in this Odin log that some partitions could not be formatted anew?

Did you change the filesystem before to some exotic / unknown system?

Are the files you're flashing really working / good ones?

Did you flash the right file into the right "Odin"-folder? (PDA to PDA, MODEM to Phone, ...)?

If you're flashing a working firmware with reformat the partition table should be OK and of course these new and clean partitions should be mounted automatically when booting the phone.

In reality there there is more, e.g. your phones IMEI is stored in one hidden partition. So although this is no solution but it would be interesting to know if your phone still has its IMEI number or MAC-address?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spillage:
Hi All.

I have spent hours now on this and have hit a brick wall. My desire is running:

s-on

HBOOT 1.03.0003

MICROP 031d

RADIO 5.11.05.27

Android version 2.2.2

Baseband 32.49.00.32u_5.11.05.27

Kernel 2.6.32.15-g2633d94

software 2.33.161.6

(hope this is enough)

I have already rooted 2 of these phones but just cannot sort this one out. Running unrevoke3 comes up with "firmware too new?" and revolutionary says "not supported at this time".

I have made sure that all the HTC Sync stuff has been removed, set up usb debugging and unknown sources has been checked.

If anyone has any ideas to help me out I would appriciate it.

Cheers,

Spill.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bur2000:
I had some trouble with GMail not synching properly anymore (it was only showing mails a couple of days old, but newer the newest ones) and since delete cache/data of the app did not work I removed it.

Bad idea, since I had to discover GMail is not available on the market for DHD/Gingerbread.

I found an apk on my HDD but it seems to be older than what I had before. Does anyone know what GMail version is the latest for Gingerbread?

I also tried extracting it from Virtuous Affinity zip-file, but couldn't find the apk. Is it hidden in some strangely named apk?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofnice:
How about you just upgrade your phone a little to get a proper app.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bur2000:
Is there a smooth and 100% working ICS + Sense ROM for the DHD? Virtuous is still beta and though it's fast it's not as smooth as Gingerbread (from what I read). The same applies for most other ROMs posted here. Some parts not working, minor performance issues and so on.

So I don't feel like updating just because GMail isn't available from the market.

edit: If anyone ever needs it, I think 2.3.6 is the latest version for GB: Download
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ai6908:
Try downloading any stock ROM, and see if you can extract it.

Try a USB Jig. That might help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adarzannh:
If you were on stock kernel then you've properly bricked it, only a board replacement or a new phone is gunna help here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 23732:
Or a JTAG repairment.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varcolac:
Did you use 4.0.4 when you did factory reset?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Girghe:
Try using a Jig first. If that fails then it's probably (super) bricked and there's nothing you can do about it other than what Adarzannh suggested. Search mmc super brick bug.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikirevenger:

And if you get a free repair,when you get the phone back,make sure you flash a custom kernel like siyah so theres less chance of bricking it again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amenyahu:
I hope someone would be kind enough to help and i'm not violating any forum rules by asking these questions.

I installed cMIUI ([ROM][MIUI][20/10/12] cMIUI 2.10.19 [4.1.2]) and I could have like it very much. But two important things didn't work but may be fixable.

1) USB Mass Storage didn't work or even seem to exist. When I plugged in the USB into a pc, on the phone USB debugging mode started but nothing else. I did search for info on this and was saw indications about an app or two that could resolve the problem, but then that led me to my other problem.

2) Play Store wouldn't work in a certain way. I can go into play store, I can sign into it. I can search for apps. But when I try to install an app, it just thinks and thinks and thinks and never installs. I did try a fix I found whilst searching for answers which involved removing and readding my google account, but that made no difference.

I previously used CM9 and that was almost perfect out of the box with regards to both of these issues. Play Store would easily download and USB mass storage mode was *BANG* right in there! cMIUI looks lovely and it was smooth, but I feel kinda trapped because of these two limitations. If anyone knows of fixes or effective workarounds for both these issues, whether it be links to other xda articles or step-by-step instructions (I'm still a newbie to flashing ROMs even though within Android as an end user I'm pretty OK) then it would be much appreciated. cMIUI seems like a lovely ROM, a different experience. I lost patience quickly and went back to CM9, but I am looking back. I can still easily install the ROM, if I can primarily fix or secondarily work around these issues effectively.

I did search for answers, but I may not have been thorough enough.

I have a samsung galaxy s2 i9100, now back to CM9 4.0.4. I don't know if anymore info is needed.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 23732:
1. Try disabling USB debugging.

2. Settings -- Applications -- Play Store -- Clear Cache.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amenyahu:
I did that, well some of it anyway.

I did try disabling USB debugging. When I did that, there was not response from the phone or computer at all, other than the phone charging.

I'll flash cMIUI again now and see if clearing the cache helps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wfr:
Thank you! I had the same problem with the Play Store. The clear-cache button was disabled somehow, and the only option left was to remove all updates. I did that, which didn't seem to work out at first. Then I restarted and suddenly it worked.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amenyahu:
Not working

Hi there. I've tried what you suggested. Play store works better. I've installed 1Mobile Market to cover the slack which worked first time. But USB still doesn't work. Do you have any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amenyahu:
OK, found the solution

OK, i may have found a partial solution from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1800935. I did some more searching, widened the search not just to cMIUI but also to the CM10 that's it's based on. Found the following code that I had to put into Android Terminal Emulator, pressing "enter" and the end of each line.

su

setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage

reboot

I had to do it twice and it managed to work ... I think. At least I can see the files on my internal SD card. Not sure about my external SD, that doesn't register at all on the pc. A step forward. I'm gonna see who slow the transfer speed is now. If anyone knows how to complete the fix so that the external SD card would register as well, that would be appreciated.
