[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bouncer5:
Currently booting into CWM.

Doesnt matter what I install, it will always go to recovery.

Someone feel free to link me exactly what I need to get it sorted.

I seem a similar thread for i9001 but obviously that wont work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
you can get a rescue kit from My Android Collections and or a solution from My Android Solutions

Flash the correct semaphore kernel again for the ROM versions you are using to fix your CWM, and flash TWICE for CM or flash a GB rescue Kit to start from the beginning.

But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power

button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....

Tips before Flashing:-

Backup all your important files, contacts, SMS, game data, images etc to PC or

Ext SD card. or make Nanadroid Backup If you have CWM

Backup your EFS Folder to PC or Ext SD card

Enable USB Debugging on Phone. Touch menu>Settings>Applications>Development>

Charge your battery to more than 50% before you attempt any sort of flashing.

Disable Samsung KIES when using Odin. Kill Kies.exe, KiesTrayAgent.exe, &

KiesPDLR.exe using Task Manager on PC

Use only ROM and solution for your model and Wipe x3 and
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashbackvictim:
I am having similar problems with the s plus. If I enter CWM every time I reboot system it just boots back into CWM. The only fix I have found is to reflash stock recovery, or boot into download mode then remove battery but I dont recommend this. If I find a proper solution I will let you know.

EDIT Just fixed my issue by reflashing BOOT.LOADER
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedeegc:
What to do

Flash a decent GB stock rom (use search in forum) and the reflash with Odin, this is the only way to get back on track.

My kindle fire has wifi when its on stock,but when I put it on any custom rom it will see some wifi networks but it wont see mine.Also whenever I turn on my wifi on my kindle it will turn off the wifi router.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Sounds like a router problem. Try connecting to another wifi location and take a look at your router settings.

After I've bricked it... I tried to load rom manually, throu Odin and Kies... nothing, still stuck at Samsung Logo.

Manually - downloaded root, cwk, and rom, tried everything and nothing happens....

Odin - downloaded everything, used Odin, he sayed "Succesfull" and still nothing...

Yes I know that... but the only Odin that worked good so far is 1.85, other versions don't see the phone ;/

What else can I do?

Maybe I could just reverse it back?

I mean, to install somehow old 2.3.6 Gingerbread on a clean device? Is there any way that I could do it?

I'll try to unbrick it with this PDA.tar attached to this topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1552792

Okay... now I'm stucked... cuz 4shared is sh!t... I can't download the file, it always stops at 67mb >.>

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxy_Rohit:
If odin isn't seeing ur device, it's b'coz ur ops file is named incorrectly. Rename it correctly. Remove any model number from name(like remove "S5830_" from "S5830_COOPER_v1.0.ops") & see, it should work.

I got no clue at this point :S

I got to work with Odin, but it freezed at: Setup Connection...

[HTC One X] =JKT=:
Hey guys/gals,

Thinking of getting a one X, just scoping out the one X scene here on xda.

Why is there a separate forum for one X original and one X development? I know there is a dual core and quad core model, but which is which?

I'm in Canada, so I'll be getting the quad core version.

Cheers, my potentially-future bros!
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
'Original' are for ROMs based off of AOSP, the 'normal' section is for ROMs based off of official sources (RUUs)...the One XL (dual core handset) has it's own forum altogether

Thanks man. Looks like I got a line on a two week old unit, already rooted for $350. Think it's a done deal!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] andy_d0:
Safe to assume that all custom Roms will not read a 64gb card if formatted in ex fat?

And Roms based on stock should be ok?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] waiters:
I believe that statement is true. If you replace rom with kernel..

To be safe.. Exfat for stock, fat32 for everything else.

Not saying Exfat won't work with custom kernel.. But the few I have tried didn't..

Also.. Maybe cwm also has problems with Exfat.. Not sure..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] andy_d0:
Ok thanks.

Yeah cwm doesn't see the card at all. The issue I have with fat 32 is the file size limit. I would prefer not having to re convert videos so that I can put them on my phone. Then again I could probably learn to live with it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] supersonic215:
Hey, I got my Galaxy Note 2 a few days ago and so far I'm having a blast with it =) But I noticed an issue while viewing photos and videos... and running the camera app as well:

For some reason while the camera is running, a photo is displayed, or a video is playing, the screen renders everything grainy. I thought it was my imagination, but when I open up a menu, all the icons and options look different too, they don't look smooth anymore, as if anti aliasing (?) was turned off. It's even more noticeable when I use the pop up player option, it effects everything I'm doing on the screen until I close the video. This only happens while content is being displayed, though. When browsing the gallery or scrolling through my video list everything looks fine, until I open something. I also noticed this only happens in Samsung's media apps. Using a different app to view photos doesn't cause this at all. I looked through the forums and couldn't find anyone else with this issue, maybe I'm the only one and should get the phone replaced? Or maybe others haven't noticed it yet... it sounds specifically software related. I had the original Galaxy Note and didn't run into this, so I'm pretty confused. Has anyone else experienced this? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssCISengineer:
Maybe you could link or upload a photo so we can see?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] supersonic215:
This is really weird. I took a couple screenshots while the issue was going on but when transferred to my computer they look exactly how they should, no graininess whatsoever. I also tested some more apps, namely Camera Zoom FX and MX Player. Those aren't affecting the display at all either. I looked through every settings menu I could find to see if I had something on that I shouldn't, but nothing helps...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] supersonic215:
Nobody else seems to be having an issue, maybe my best bet is to exchange it, then
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stevessvt:
I would try a factory reset. If that doesnt work check out a display model at TMo, if its different ask for a new one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] supersonic215:
Just did a factory reset, it's still doing it -_-. I'll check T-Mobile tomorrow, though, thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bence:
Well...I have contacts linked to their Facebook accounts...

This is fine with the most of the contacts, but for some I use photos I have manually set.

Every few days or every few times I open Facebook app on the phone, somehow photos of contacts change to their fb-photos.

I have option "do not sync" enabled...

I linked every contact manually to Facebook, and after that they get fb-photo...

Then...for some I have manually selected photo from sdcard...

And they had their photo...

Then my problem arrived...and then I manually edited the contact and changed which photo I wanted... Google Facebook or phone...

I selected phone...

But after few days it changes back to fb-photo...

And this continues every few days...

How to stop facebook from changing contact photo when they change it or after few days, if you want to keep your phone photo?
[HTC ChaCha] wierd165:
I have a few various questions:

Will it have 3G if unlocked for tmobile?

Will all of the custom roms work with the status? Are they virtually the same?

What are the best dual layer cases such as an otterbox for the phone?

Thanks!:highfive:

Also: Is there a free way to unlock it?
[HTC ChaCha] Suchness:
Will it have 3G if unlocked for tmobile? I get 3G rarely for T-Mobile on the HTC Status, but talking in hardware terms, no.

Will all of the custom roms work with the status? Are they virtually the same? Not all custom roms, just the ones made for the HTC Status. They are technically all "virtually' the same.

What are the best dual layer cases such as an otterbox for the phone? I use a case-mate dual layer for my HTC Status.
[HTC ChaCha] wierd165:
Can someone confirm this? I just want to know because I am about to get two of them...one for AT&T and another for myself unlocked for tmobile. Will a different Radio fix the 3G signal issues? And so are all roms compatible with the status and chacha vice versa?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Practitioner:
Agreed, well in my case I just payed $160.97 at wal-mart for my Galaxy S3, lolz but besides the case phone is awesome, and yes i rooted, because of the limiations, if u payed so much for a phone why not make it completely ures instead of this carriers telling u what u can and cannot do with it. Personally i use it more for the increase in memory, rom control, better battery and nandroids, does really come in handy, and i mean really handy. Ofcourse wifi tethering, many many more which list is too long to mention.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jnadke:
I agree this phone is reaaaally good. I haven't put a ROM on it.

But I did root it for WiFi Tether and Roam Control.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shadowlink217:
I started rooting to improve battery life. It works if I leave the damn phone alone, but I usually end up flashing another rom before the battery life settles.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nerys71:
for me it was primarily for 3 reasons.

#1 removing crap I want gone

#2 Adjusting LCD Density

#3 Semi Custom Rom installation (I tend to stick with "stock" based roms to retain samsung functions)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xTmDarren:
1. Wifi Tether

2. Adfree

3. So I can change the double tap to google voice instead of S voice, by using a program called Home2 Shortcut.. :good:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] falconoble:
I didn't mind TouchWiz as much as I thought I would, especially after the OTA update. That said, I tinker. That's what I do. I moved to Android from iOS because even as much as I enjoyed that ecosystem and the awesome developers we had in the jailbreaking community, the OS itself was getting stale and was hitting a dead end. While jailbreaking provides system access, you could really only building on top of the existing OS and at some point, it'd all been done. I'd reached a peak and I needed something new.

Don't get me wrong, iOS was great and jailbreaking was fun. My iPhone 4S was truly my own and it worked and looked the way I needed and wanted it to. If it wasn't for that I would never understand a thing about developing and I would not be as passionate about mobile tech as I am now. I was happy with it for four years, and my decision to change wasn't made out of disdain for Apple. It was simply that I loved tech and it was time for something new.

Android gives me the opportunity to continue tinkering. Instead of just jailbreaking for features, I could flash entire ROMs and am allowed a much greater degree of flexibility in tweaking my workflow. Simply put, rooting lets me do what I need to do for my device to supplement my daily life in the best way.

tl;dr I'm a grown man and I do whatever the heck I want.

Because carriers are slow to fix things, they optimize erring on the side of safety, and I am a tinkerer.

[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
This is pretty cool.

Any chance you could direct me to an explanation for sha1-size (for apply_patch_check) is though? I'm working on some edify scripting stuff and trying to incorporate some asserts for a specific bootloader (important to what I'm doing), and this is honestly the best reference I've found for it yet.
[Android Apps and Games] scary alien:
You bet!

I'm heading home from work here soon and I'll dig-up the details for you :).

(yeah, I scoured the internet for detailed information on Edify scripting as well as reviewed the actual Google/Android code--there's not a complete compendium, unfortunately).

I'll ping you back after a bit...

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] scary alien:
Okay, here's what I know about the apply_patch_check command:

There are basically two formats:

apply_patch_check // apply_patch_check ( <filepath>, <sha1-checksum> [ , <sha1-checksum> ... ] )
// apply_patch_check ( <compoundvalue> )

<compoundvalue> := [ EMMC : <filepath> : <sha1-size> : <sha1-checksum> [ <sha1-size> : <sha1-checksum> ... ]
[ MTD : <dev-block> : <sha1-size> : <sha1-checksum> [ <sha1-size> : <sha1-checksum> ... ]
[ vfat : <dev-block> : <sha1-size> : <sha1-checksum> [ <sha1-size> : <sha1-checksum> ... ]

The first of which is what I think you typically see in updater-script files where you have a filename, followed by one or more SHA1 digests. Here's an example:

assert(apply_patch_check("/system/app/ApplicationsProvider.apk", "41bb5aaaa2791e68b55622fcca13f0e4efa757b2", "fc845332ae7f706824de73f64ae47f93866ad245"));​

The second format is what I call a compound value format, where the file or partition to be checked and the SHA1 digests to be compared, are all concatenated together in a single, colon-separated value. For example:

assert(apply_patch_check("EMMC:/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/boot:4247552:3f4d4f9549d307d152f8503983ee4ff5f46b0a43:4470784:fbd13c778b34fdb7917c1ccee6389aa9b13a92bd")); ​

In the above, I've colored the sizes in red of file/partition on which to compute the SHA1 checksum (colored in black). I figured this out and verified this by using dd to copy the portions of the partition in question and calculating the SHA1 checksums on it.

My app only supports parsing and evaluating two sets of lengths/SHA1s for the compound format at this time (that's all I've encountered so far in the scripts that I've viewed).

Does that help and/or answer your questions?

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
Thanks! Yeah that helps a lot, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to solve the problem I've been seeing..

Using dd to grab the partition img I can sha1sum that and that SHA1 doesn't allow it to pass the assert, or even a direct sha1_check of the partition.

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "dd", "if=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/USP"), "of=/tmp/bootloader.img")
ui_print(sha1_check(read_file("/tmp/bootloader.img"))); = 8c206a1a87599f532ce68675536f0b1546900d7a (also, bootloader.img is 2097152 in size)

ui_print(sha1_check(read_file("/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/USP"))); = da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709

assert(apply_patch_check("EMMC:/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/USP:2097152:8c206a1a87599f532ce68675536f0b1546900d7a")); = Fail

They just don't match and I'm completely baffled by it. I can work around it by using dd to pull the img first and using that for my asserts but it's not as clean as I'd like it.
[Android Apps and Games] scary alien:
Is it for the Gnex or the N7 (I have those same devices)?

I'd be happy to test something for you...just PM me or send me an email (scary.alien@gmail.com).

I don't know if you're using my app to test with, but you can also manually run the update-binary directly on/from your phone (i.e., you don't have to run it in recovery, but you obviously need to be careful what your updater-script does ;) :)).

I'm still looking for the exact syntax in my notes, but I'll edit this post when I find it...brb.

I know I did this during my early testing, but I can't remember the exact syntax...I'll try it and re-re-edit :P.

So a question, could this failure above be causing my 32 GB nexus 7 to have system update issues? (Not necessarily XT9IME.apk (which I shouldn't have deleted), more the other one) Is there a fix?
[Android Apps and Games] scary alien:
Looks like you've updated the boot (LNX) partition in addition to deleting (or renaming/moving) the XT9IMG.apk?

So yes, the OTA will not install until you've put both items back to their expected state.

The fix, of course, depends on exactly what you did to change them in the first place.

i just dunno how
[Android Apps and Games] scary alien:
It's just the available space (in bytes) in the /cache partition that you want to make sure is available (i.e., free space) for any operations your updater-script file will do concerning /cache.

For example:

Would verify that there is at least 1MB (1,000,000) free bytes available in /cache.

Does that answer what you're asking?

Lemme know--happy to help if I can.
