I would like to suggest that you re-flash the same MF1 9210 based root ready rom with Odin. Perform a factory reset after that and test again. I have heard from someone who had a bricked phone after dropping it...he eventually had it fixed via JTAG service...n so I guess dropping it could cause problems as well.

Did you root the phone with the three button mechanism (volup/voldown/power) before remounting /system r/w in es file explorer and editing that file? The errors you have described lead me to think that the phone wasn't rooted yet.

Sir After spent some time on Google i successfully rooted / superuser my phone. I've edited Feature_default.xml <CscFeature_Message_RecipientLimit> from 10 to 90 and restarted but nothing happened :( it say 10 contact available only :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dc_power!:
First of all, that MF1 based rom allows you to turn root on and off by pressing volumeUP/volumeDOWN/Power buttons simultaneously... why would you waste time searching Google to root it when it has the option built-in?

I just tested that feature in the xml parameter file, and it seems like the recipient limit is hardcoded in the messaging app...apparantly it doesn't use the external parameter.

Upgrading from ICS to JB

Good day!

I'm a new user of shv-e110s and i would like to ask how to upgrade ICS 4.0.4 to jellybean?

This is my current phone status.

I am on ICS 4.0.4 and i want to upgrade it to jellybean.

Q: Do i have to be on Factory Firmware/ Pre-Rooted Stock Jellybean 4.1.2 ROM before i can flash the Custom ROM (Jelly Bean 4.1.2 GT-I9210 Based MF1 Stock Root Ready) ?

or can i directly flash the Custom ROM (Jelly Bean 4.1.2 GT-I9210 Based MF1 Stock Root Ready) ?

I don't want to mess up my phone that's why i have to ask for your opinion first guys since I'm a newbie at this.

Hoping for your responses. Thanks XDA!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FAtfcK:
Nah you dont really have to be on the same version of stock firmware. But if the custom rom is a rom that requires you to flash it via custom recovery, you have to install one first (flashable roms come in zip files just FYI). Otherwise, if the rom is flashable via Odin, you can just flash it by using the method on the OP (Odin flashable roms come in tar and etc). Sorry if I couldn't help much :) good luck :)

Yeah hi just wondering if you could help me with a little problem im having.

I've rooted my phone installed stock and custom firmware all good

just for some reason pretty sure it's because its a Telstra branded phone if i try using a Telstra Sim it connects to 4G but if I try my vodafone sim or any other, I only get 3g or HSP+ tried manually selecting the 4g vodoafone network but 4 the like of me it just wont connect would this have something to do with the Baseband or Modem firmware perhaps or even the CSC :rolleyes:

Any information would be much appreciated...

HOTFILE.COM Shut down by US Federal Court

Before this thread is flooded with posts concerning download problems with firmware images located on hotfile servers, I would like to notify you all that those files will probably not be available anymore; hotfile links all seem to be 'dead' at the moment. I don't know what the current status is, but it it more likely that we will have to resort to alternative file sharing platforms.

I will be looking for alternatives in the coming days, but this might extend into next week since I'm travelling at the moment. SamMobile.com and samsung-updates.com firmware images are mostly parked at hotfile servers too, so the scope of this problem probably includes most of the phones supported by those sites as well.

PS. Apologies in advance if I don't respond to your PM messages reporting download problems or requesting links.

Sorry to be picking up your old post... but I'm quite desperate. My SHV-e110s running ICS also had the voice call issue.

Good question. Answer is no, It has been modified for the E110S. Don't even try to flash it, because there might be differences in certain partition sizes and that would cause serious problems.

If you want the rooted GT-I9210 rom, send davidcsv a PM. After the demise of hotfile.com, he kind of gave up re-uploading all the roms to mediafire, unless you send a request for a particular rom.

Don't flash the stock unmodified I9210 image. It has been converted for the E110S and is available for download here... Don't mess with the PIT file, you don't need it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malachari:
Hi, I have a problem which I'm struggling with for long time now and just don't know what else I can try. I've got the GT-I9210 phone which I tried to update some time ago. I flashed stock rom which ended in the same issue which was described by ouriel.hountondji on previous page in this thread.

After reboot I get E: faild mount /system (invalidargument) cant mount */system (invalid argument).

I've tried many different roms with the same result. After that I flashed custom rom for I9210T (I found it in I9210T thread) called cm-10-20120926-UNOFFICIAL-i9210t which surprisingly appeared to work fine except the soft keys, which became unavailable. In fact I've searched for solution to that problem few months ago but nothing worked so far. I got used to live without soft keys in the meantime but now I need to make it work again so I really hope you could help me.

So the first thing is why the stock rom doesn't boot while the custom one for different phone version does. According to davidcsv answer I might try to flash stock rom with a pit file to deal with this problem. Could it work in my case? If so how can I get the correct pit file?

The second thing is how I can bring the soft keys back? Will successfully flashing stock rom help?

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennyTSV:
Try the sammy site: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

and type 'i9210'. Re-download the relevant firmware for your phone. Remove battery from your phone, then re-insert. Then see if you can use Odin to flash that ROM, and see what happens.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malachari:
The result is the same. All those roms for i9210 from this site end with E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)

Any other thoughts?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidcsv:
PIT file for I9210(T) has been re-uploaded and links are updated in the OP of this thread.

If your touch keys are still not working in the stock rom, enter *#2663# which will display a touch screen/key update screen. Tap on Touch key FW update and that should fix the problem... remember, ONLY in the stock rom.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidcsv:
Normally there's no need to select re-partition while flashing with Odin. If you have a PIT file which you know for SURE that it is intended for your device, then specifying the file will automatically enable the re-partition option.

I have tried flashing before with the option enabled, but without specifying a PIT file. The result was the same and I didn't notice anything dramatic happening... :) I am assuming that not specifying the PIT file and only enabling the option will result in the bootloader's download mode logic to repartition the internal storage space based on the already stored partitioning info... just guessing here though.

cm11 kitkat custom rom

Hi guys with shv-e110s. I bought this device about six months ago and like you, i got bored to sms / mms issue. At first i flashed that cm10.1 based jellybean 4.2.2. Most of irritating issues, like languages, stock apps etc, solved. For all of you who installed that cm10.1 i HIGHLY recommend to update that version to a new cm11 based kitkat. Thats very easy, you dont even need odin or PC to upd ur rom. Thats because you most likely got a cwm recovery now (came automatically when flashed cm10.1 with odin). Go liquidandroid.com and find the cm11 latest rom available. Just download all introduced stuff to your external card, boot to cwm (by pressing both vol buttons + power for a while) and follow introductions (flash everything with cwm from ur external card). That takes like 10mins and youre done. You can also do a backup file via cwm before u flash. I found couple bugs in cm10.1 like screen sleep bug, notification slide bar bug, USB crash and camera bug. All of those are fixed in this kitkat. Its light, soft and most of all, rooted.

I highly recommend this to even stock rom users. Introductions for rooting and flashing from stock rom you can find from same site. I simply love my phone now.

For any help, dont hesitate to PM me. After you done it once its easy to update it later.
