Question about the counter

Hi, im new to this comunitty and to modifying android devices... yet I already managed to learn how to change the ROM on a xperia x10, but now i have a SGSA I9070 and i would like to know that if changing the ROM, to THIS would affect the counter, thus invalidating warranty... Because youknow i recently bought the device and it has 1 year of warranty and I would not like to lose that... I can stick with the current system, but ive seen working the custom roms and they work better than stock ones.

Thank you very much for your help!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] shut_down:
If you root with this you can install that ROM. My counter incresed only when I was rooting with quzem method. And nothing else increased it. Just do not flash custom kernel by Odin.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] purplepizza:
Thank you, That answers how. So what applications are safe to remove.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] CallMeVentus:
That depends on what type of brick .

If it's a soft brick , Download Mode will work through button combo

However , if it's a hard brick you need a jig

Jellybean update on January, 2013!!!

Hey guys I just found out that the Jellybean update for our phone is planned on JANUARY 2013!! I've added more information to the phone's Wikipedia article (Click here if you want to check it out)

This news was first posted on Facebook by Samsung Germany. The tech firm now says that Android 4.1 Jelly Bean will land in Galaxy S Advance on January 2013. It will be made available both through the Kies PC software and OTA.

Please "Thank" me for sharing this information and tell the Thread's admin to add this NEWS on the first post :D
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] CallMeVentus:
If it's a hard brick the warranty might cover it :)

Jtag makes use of voltages to actually force the phone into Download Mode

Not lazy. Just not as smart as you. I did find a list of basic android apps to remove, but nothing specific to SGA. And I thought this would be the appropriate thread for a list of safe apps to remove specifically from the SGA. I guess I was wrong and misunderstood CallMeVentus.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] purplepizza:
I have compared many lists of applications indicating what is and is not safe to remove. I could not find any info on the following services:

FactoryClient (com.sec.FactoryClient)

SmartcardService (android.smartcard:remote)

SyncML-DS (com.smlds)

SecPhone (com.sec.phone)

All can be stopped. I am not sure what impact there is if they are frozen or removed. I was hoping for some advice before trying.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] CallMeVentus:
FactoryClient seems to be the service that allows a factory reset from Android itself....

SecPhone is probably the Phone applicaton itself

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gehanr:
Hi,

I use my Tab to take notes and do design sketches quite a lot.

I've been using Evernote on my Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Nexus Prime and on my Laptop all this time very successfully. Evernote has all the features I need and I have found it to be very useful so far.

However, recently, I got myself a Note 10.1 and I love using the S Pen to write down notes and do drawings/sketches etc. And I use S Note as well for this.

I need to be able to access my notes, etc from any of my devices and be able to edit/save them as necessary (which I can do easily with Evernote). Unfortunately, Evernote does not support the S Pen and all the advantages it brings with it (S Pen).

So, is there any way of achieving the same level versatility that Evernote offers with S Note as well? Or, is there some other app that I could use to take down notes using the S Pen and then be able to use it from anywhere?

I suppose one solution would be to use a Word Doc and share it over Dropbox. However, for me, that doesn;t offer the same note taking experience as Evernote or S Note.

Highly appreciate any feedback on this.

Regards,

I have just had a similar problem, stock rooted tried to update to 4.2 OTA when it was updating I got the android on his back with the red exclamation sign. I had no idea what was wrong until I read your post.

I am not sure how to look at the log file so I don't know if I have the same problem as up but the file you referenced I changed the extension so it was not recognised to allow Flash to work. I have now changed this back but update system in setting says that the system is up to date but I am still on 4.1.2.

Or make an backup with Titanium
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidBonzai:
Ok i'll try.

Sorry for my bad english :rolleyes:

I'll do a step by step howto.

First of all you'll need to download the 4.1.2 FW from Google.

Make sure, you choose the right one.

Take your Nexus 7, go into settings---> About Tablet and look for the Build-number.

Google OS

Then you will have to download this Tool (SGStoEXT4)

(This Tool will extract the Image into a mountable (readable) Image.)

Then you download THIS

(This Tool will mount your Image and you'll get access to the orig. Systemfiles you need.)

Ok lets begin:

Once you've dowloaded the Firmware 4.1.2 (Not 4.2 !!). It should be a .tgz. Just rightclick it, and extract it into a new Folder.

In this new folder you'll see a .zip File. Extract this too by choosing "Extract here".

Now there is a File called SYSTEM.IMG. This is File you'll gonna need!

Now open the downloaded Zipfile "SGStoext4.zip" and doubleclick the .jar to start it.

You'll see a window that pops up. Drag and drop the SYSTEM.img into this window and it will extract the .img into a File called "system.ext4.img" which is built right in the same folder, the system.img is.

Now install the second Tool you've dowloaded called "Linux-Reader" and start it.

Once you startet it, choose "Mount Image" on the left hand side.

Let everything like it is and click Next.

Choose the system.ext4.img by doubleclicking it.

Now you should see the mounted Image called "Linux Ext Volume 1"

If you doubleclick it, there are all the original files from 4.1.2.

Create a new Folder on your PC and call it Systemfiles (or whatever).

Go back to Linuxreader, mark all files and folders (Strg+A) and rightclick them and hit "Save".

Now click "Next" and choose the Systemfile-Folder as the Outputfolder.

You're already done.

Copy the new created Systemfile-Folder to your Nexus7 (in the dowloadfolder threre, for instance)

Start the Updateprocess and wait till it stops with the currupted File error.

For example:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

Verifying current system...

assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.odex", "21a89

E:Error in /cache/094f6629314a.signed-nakasi-JOP40C-from-JZ054K.094f6629.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Write down the path (marked redcolor in the example) and search for it in the new Systemfile-folder.

The path in the new Systemfilefolder will be the same as it shows on the updatefailure.

Replace the corrupted File with the one of your fresh extracted ones using Rootexplorer on your Nexus 7.

Start the Updateprocess again.

If there is another corrupted File error, replace that File too.

Once you replaced all corrupted Files, you're done.

I replaced 4 Files before the update runned through properly.

I hope this helps and please let me know if it worked 4 u.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynCognito:
The solution by DroidBonzai is correct.

A shortcut for some people, particularly those that are rooted and sideloaded adobe flash and then the Android Browser, is that you may have renamed

system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.odex

to

system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.odex1

and similarly with

system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.apk

to

system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.apk1

as those would have caused a conflict with the sideloaded Browser.apk

Renaming those two file extensions will allow you update to 4.2 via recovery without installation error. It certainly worked for me!

I really have to appreciate the effort u have taken to help with this thing, and its a genius idea u have discovered to replace the faulty .apk

Anyhow, i did follow everything you said, like i replaced the GooglePinYinIME.apk which was having problem, but somehow the error persisted.

Tried it all, with NO LUCK

Hey Alex,

I tried everything you said above, downloaded the 4.1.2 from google, then extracted it, then fount the file which was giving me problems in System.img (GooglePinYinIME.apk)

Then i replaced that file on the tablet using root explorer.

Even after doing all this, the error persisted, WITH THE SAME FILE..

I tried it 3-4 times, but no luck.

I also installed the GooglePinYinIME.apk in nexus 7 to see if it works, but it went in vain.

What would u suggest now?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phzi:
So my poor i9000m went for a faceplant earlier this year and the glass was badly cracked. I continued using it for a while until the amoled started displaying messed up colors and finally turned a harsh shade of green so you could barely see what was on the screen.

I disassembled the phone, and discovered the amoled itself had started to crack. Okay, so dead screen. I ordered one of the replacement amoled that include the frame and buttons (for a few bucks more then only the amoled it seemed like a worthwhile convenience).

I got the replacement today, and carefully reassembled the phone around it. Power on... Samsung logo, cyanogenmod logo, startup animation! Awesome I think to myself! But then the cyanogen animation goes weird colors (as if the display was set to 16 color). Phone boots and looks okay, colors maybe a bit faded. Then the screen timeout hits, so I hit the power button to start up again. This time no Samsung logo, just a small green line at the top. After a while cid appears on the boot animation. In the OS, colors look poor (like it is in 256 color mode), and gradients look horribly jaggy.

If I boot into recovery or download mode, I get a little green line that slowly fades to random pixels across the whole screen. Only if I boot into the OS can I see anything. And still, colors look horrible.

I took the phone apart again, cleaned the connectors carefully, but same thing.

Any thoughts? Did I get a dud screen or does this sound like something else is wrong in the phone?
