[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Porkchops:
So my wife got a good deal on some Galaxy Tabs at her work, and being so familiar with rooting and installing custom ROMs with my Galaxy S2, I jumped right in. Stupid mistake #1. I didn't realize there were so many different versions (The S2 is international, so 99% are all I9100, and mine being I9100M, there was no concern about using I9100 firmware - apparently this was not true of the P1000 and P1000M as I've come to learn), and just followed the first comprehensive guide I found to upgrade from 2.2 froyo to 2.3.3 gingerbread, so that I could go to CM9 or CM10. I tried to flash XWJK8 (and one of the kids ran by and bumped out the USB cable!) and it would only power on to the emergency download mode. I somehow managed to get Froyo back on and working by flashing the Euro flash package (Flashing the PIT and XWJJ4), then flashing OXAJK5. I was able to boot up and was running Froyo again.

Undeterred by the set back, I tried again for Gingerbread (again, not realizing that there were GSM-only ROMs that I shouldn't have been using). I followed a guide by Chainfire (I think) that involved flashing XXJQ1, a new bootloader, and a dbdata file in PDA then finished up by flashing the CF Root OXA-JQ1 kernel. I went into CWM and did a factory reset, clear cache, etc... but it wouldn't boot past the Samsung logo. About this time, I learned about the GSM/CDMA thing, and realized I went wrong. So I set out to try and figure it out for CDMA. Unfortunately, everything refers to this Overcome guide, but the page would not load, so I figured that with CWM working then I may as well try for CM9. It failed (assert errors), so I decided to try for the stock Bell Gingerbread ROM (P1000MUGKF6). It flashes successfully, but after flashing - I get the following errors on boot up:

So just for giggles, I tried a factory reset with the following results:

I tried doing the Euro flash again (as it got everything working again last time), and it runs successfully but still won't boot up. So I flashed the Gingerbread firmware for Bell again (P1000MUGKF6), and it still won't boot at this point, just hangs at the Samsung logo. Long story short, I've made a mess of things, and I am thinking that the more I try and fix this myself, the more I'm messing things up. I'm praying that someone here is able to help me fix this mess, otherwise I am at the point of throwing in the towel and letting this thing end up as a brick, as if no one on XDA knows how to fix this, I don't think anyone will know how.

Thanks for reading this novel, I can't tell you how much I would appreciate some assistance!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Use overcome method.

Follow my signature.

Download the GB stock safe and the PDF guide

Jump to page 7.

P1000 and P1000M is identical except for the radio.

But they both are gsm.

If you had flashed wrong ROM you would have had a brick.

You just haven't been flashing correctly.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Porkchops:
I just saw your reply on a different post, and gave it a try. I can't thank you enough! It worked perfectly. After I flashed the Stock Safe I was able to get it to boot up no problem, so I went on to do the kernel, and then flash the Overcome ROM from there (which was successful), but now it's been sitting on the Overcome ROM boot screen for the last several minutes, starting to think it's not going to boot... My end goal was to get CM9 installed on it, so even if Overcome ROM won't boot, am I safe at this point to try flashing CM9, or should I get Overcome ROM working first?

Also if anyone happens to know if I need to download the p1c (cdma) version of CM9 (I'm assuming based on your reply that I don't, and the p1 (gsm) version of CM9 should work, but I just want to be safe).

Thanks again for your help, at least I got things working at one point, and am confident I can get back to that point if things go south again.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Porkchops:
So I went with my gut, flashed CM9 for the P1000 (non-CDMA) and it works like a charm. Again, can't thank you for all your help! I can't tell you how much time and grief you saved me from!!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Glad it works out.

In the future, you don't need to flash the overcome ROM.

Only overcome kernel is needed o use its cwm recovery.

The stock safe is needed to give you a clean stock baseline that works with overcome kernel.

the ultimate goal is just to have cwm recovery.

Thanks again for the help, she had bought 2 - 1 Bell and 1 Rogers Galaxy Tab. The Bell one was the one I was working on when I posted this, after finishing it (in total close to 12-14 hours of straight working on it and looking stuff up) I was able to get the Rogers one done in less than 20 minutes haha! :highfive:

Ok guys like I posted earlier I damaged my power key somehow and for the time being I downloaded a widget by means of which I could boot into the recovery. However now I'm stuck on the boot screen and my phone is currently going through a boot loop and I don't know how to boot into recovery now. :(...plz help guys how do I boot into recovery now with my power key not working. Any help in the said matters shall be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Deleted member 4398224:
Try remove battery from phone. After back battery in phone. Press the button Home and Power together.

Wait a little and you will have CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] SohamJ:
do you have adb installed on your pc ?

if yes , just connect your mobile to your pc using usb cable ,using terminal / cmd prompt navigate to adb folder and type

adb reboot recovery

if you don't have adb then google how to setup adb on windows/ubuntu whichever os you have
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Miqdad@521:
I've tried doing that many times and btw my power button is not working. So cant boot into recover with that method. Thanks anyways.

Yes I do have adb installed. Even I was thinking about doing the same but will adb recognize the device when its stuck on bootloader?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] SohamJ:
just give it a try dude

I think it will recognize your device :)
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Deleted member 4398224:
If it is not a hardware problem, Power should work with this method.

I have several times had a problem like yours and I solved it this way.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Miqdad@521:
That worked. I have my phone back in working condition. Thanks a lot buddy.

No luck doing that although!! :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinz3nt:
Hi all,

My sister-in-law hooked up her phone to her laptop and then Kies responded there was an update. I know for a fact that she was on 2.3.6 and the suggested update was the ICS one.

The phone booted in download mode and then got stuck on 12%, then she turned to me.

I'm pretty familiair with Android phones and I rooted and installed custom ROMs on quite a lot of phones. But, it was always with a full backup and I always made sure the phone numbers were on the SIM card as an extra precaution.

Now, this phone is NOT rooted, just stock 2.3.6 on it, she made no backups of any kind and there's no external SD card in it so the photo's are on the internal memory.

So, what I need first, if possible, is access to the internal memory. Normally, I can mount the memory in clockworkmod recovery, but this phone is not rooted so no CWM. Can I flash a kernel to get CWM? And if yes, which one?

Secondly, is there any way to backup the phone numbers? If I flash a new ROM I will loose al numbers, right?

Hope someone can help, she's quite desperate! (me too actually)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinz3nt:
one part of information I forgot to give;

when I pull out the battery and reboot the phone after putting it back, I just get the phone/warning sign/pc logo and the text "firmware upgrade encountered an Issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies ans try again"

When I do that, Kies sees the phone, starts downloading a recovery image of some sort and stay on 100% for a few minutes and then closes without any error message.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drraptor:
Numbers are stored in Google account, and Internal memory is not formatted if you do a factory reset. I could recommend you to move your question to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1648351&page=148

Hi, I just flashed a stock ROM of the same version with Odin.

Phone is ok again, nothing is lost.

Camera was set on storing photos in internal memory, I changed it.

All contacts were already stored on the SIM card so no sync to Gmail

So internal memory wasn't wiped ?

Just backup and flash a Stock ICS using Odin

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elijahbrown:
Well, I started theming a more minimalistic version of Touchwiz. I really like the look of AOSP roms, but love the stability of TW ROMs. Since we only have one JB Touchqiz themed rom people have been flooding the thread with mod requests, so I switched over to looking at what I could do to make a ROM that will have everybody clamoring to flash. I started digging in to what I could MOD to have a neat base to work off of before theming.

So far I have working; Rotation on lock screen, dual-pane app preferences, and scrolling wallpaper on TWiz Launcher among some other stuff. As far as I know no other TW Rom has ever had these features so I think its about time to start the tediousness of themeing everything and I would like to decrease the size of a lot of things because I hate how little TWiz fits on one screen.

if you want i am willing to help any way i can. i will have some days off after the 21. so i wil have time to theme. let me know if you want some help.

Also, saw you wanted to take over pac man and paranoid. Well, to start, you'll need this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2060017. Hopefully you have ubuntu, cause that is what it is based on. This is the quick way, but you'll have to learn much much more in order to take over those 2.

Looks good man. I was actually going to tell these guys, we should start off theming AOKP. I haven't themed a version as of late, but the basics are great. AOKP doesn't have all the extra manufacturer add-ins, so it is easier to learn on. I will start soon on one of the latest releases.

Its great to see people talking about teaming up. Even if it is just theming. I have teamed up with elijahbrown and hoping to get a themed rom out soon. Will hit people up if we need help. But keep talking maybe some other people will team up and put out a rom. I made this post in hopes that people would meet and team up. It seems as of late. That the roms have slowed to a crawl. So theme and be happy. And lets put out some roms. And willing to flash anything. So If you need a tester I am more than happy too. Thanks

Hi, everyone,

to cut to the chase, here's my problem (video):

They don't allow me to post video since I'm new here, so please check it out on YouTube, it's called Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 weird OS problem? (by Getz01)

I used my phone just like any other day, took a few photos while battery was almost done (about 20% left), and then it started breaking all of a sudden in the focus settings menu, and so on.

When I switched to the start screen, this strange occurence from the video appeared.

I tried turning it off, and then turning it on again, I tried taking out the battery, and reducing RAM (I thought it might not have enough of it).

It's Galaxy S I9000 model, I use stock Android that came with it. Phone was bought completely new in a licensed store last year, its OS wasn't meddled with, or anything like that. I like to keep things new, I mean, not to touch its software or hardware unless I have to, like it seems now.
