[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DorinAlex:
I was just about to sincerely thank you for your help, but then again your attitude has surpassed any such attempt.

As a note of courtesy: if it's an ordeal to answer specific questions to well defined problems, don't. Nobody is forcing you to answer - I suppose there are members around here who are more helpful and polite in relating to people's problems. You know, people asking questions here are trying to discover knowledge you possess and have been given by others on your turn. You shouldn't be so anal giving back to the community.

As I was pointing out in my last thread - if you had bothered to comprehend it - what you were suggesting to do was not reflected in practice.

1. Odin doesn't accept zImage files for PDA - you have to hackingly add it in the file selector box.

2. There is no sign in its GUI that Odin accepts zImage file for PDA, as mainly the PDA box is used for full roms (.tar, .tar.md5)

I simply asked for confirmation that your suggested instructions - unnatural as they have turned out to be - are the right ones.

Usually when somebody suggests some actions that are not straightforward they try their best to express themselves eloquently. This wasn't the case, so I only wanted a confirmation.

But you've made it clear this time, think twice before asking for more info around here - incomplete/inaccurate information is something to deal with on your own.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DorinAlex:
Here is an update with the status of my problem.

I was able to guess out the missing information/step from the previous posts:

The file that goes into the PDA box in Odin has to be a tar file containing the various image files one needs to flash into the phone and not directly the zImage file.

Quick recap: I had a rooted phone with an original branded rom that I had successfully rooted. I flashed a custom kernel (Entropy) that was for the AT&T version of SGS2 and some buttons were not working. I then tried CF-root for Gingerbread (guessed version). After this the phone does not go past the original logo screen when booting. I used MobileOdin both times. Recovery is CWM 4 but I get cache errors, and no access to sdcard works. Download mode seems to be OK.

I have created a tar file with just the zImage file from the full branded rom that was on my phone. (I9100BVKJ4_I9100ORAKJ4_I9100BVKJ4_HOME.tar.md5)

Using Odin 1.85 I have used the newly created tar file to flash.

Everything in the window looks like Odin snapshots on guides all around the web. After clicking start in the first big box KERNEL is shown.

I get:

<ID:0/034> Added!!

<ID:0/034> Odin v.3 engine (ID:34)..

<ID:0/034> File analysis..

<ID:0/034> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/034> Initialzation..

<ID:0/034> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/034> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/034> zImage

And then nothing happens.

I have tried on two laptops, rebooted, installed kies fresh on one of them with the same result.

I wouldn't flash the whole rom just yet, since I still hope to recover some data.

What could be wrong?

I have searched quite extensively for Odin info online but people didn't seem to come across something like this.

Thanks for any help

Expect the SMS and call logs , all your data is safe IMHO. Contacts are backed up in your google account. and Internal SD is not formatted in a factory reset.

also don't worry about yellow triangle and try a custom kernel. You will be able to remove it eithr by USB jig (on GB rom) or us triangle away http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494114

Jesus, get over yourself. Just thank the person that he or she had taken the time to post a reply and at least try to help you because I personally wouldn't and won't give you the time of day.

If you are too bone idle to look up the solution to your problem and check out other users past experience and knowledge then why should anyone else waste their time helping.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DorinAlex:
The last post is a monument of self-sufficience and lack of helpfulness.

Guess what, you just did. Just in your manner, of conceited aggressivity

This last one is awash with fallacy and misconceptions, that I just have to keep the flame going.

It shows a complete lack of understangind of how a forum works. It's not that the question asker expects the replier to do the work of searching.

A forum relies on the presence of experienced users (i.e. people who have previously gone through the pains of learning how a thing works) who are checking up what issues less experienced people are encountering.

If they are not so high on themselves the latter more experienced users, who are also keen to return to the community what they may have on their turn been taught previously by peers, when they see a problem they quickly know the answer to, will quickly reply and save valuable effort to the question asker.

It's not that every problem has a solution posted and you just have to "look it up" and you're saved.

Half true answers may delay more. Case in point.

The solution to just put zImage in PDA in Odin DOES NOT WORK.

You have to properly package a tar file, by following guides available on the forum. The wrong assumption that you can just put the zImage in the box has delayed me a lot.

It was false also that flashing the full rom will make me lose my data. I flashed the same version of my original rom and I got everything back.

So thanks to all who offered goodwill help.

Solution was:

Flashing same version of rom (official branded, easily traceable by operator and some basic memoryon officila firmware sites), full rom, that is.
[HTC Droid DNA] selfinfliction:
Is there any script that will clean up the garbage on these without having to root? The only reason I was rooting before on my sprint phones was for getting free hotspot access, and now we don't have to worry about that. System seems to run great, it just has an enormous amount of software on it
[HTC Droid DNA] TXI Kaze:
You need root access in order to get to the bloat. Now now, Verizon wouldn't make it that easy to remove their crapware.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
To actually remove it you need root, but you can disable it while unrooted.
[HTC Droid DNA] termin8tor22:
No you must be rooted as said by the above posts. If you want to hide the app icons from your app drawer you can. When you open your app drawer in top right there is 3 squares saying menu, touch it. Touch hide apps and have at it, hide what you don't like. Hope this was helpful!!
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
if you hit the menu button in the app drawer, click manage apps, go to 'all' and click on a piece of bloat you can disable it, which keeps it from running from the background and showing up in the app drawer, much better than just hiding it
[HTC Droid DNA] termin8tor22:
Thanks man i didn't know how to disable but I just did. Disable not only hides but as stated above keeps it from running in the background.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] stoneme:
Can someone please kindly give me some pointers on how to backup / change the IMEI of this phone? It seems that tmobile has recorded its IMEI. Now, my phone is always redirected to their web2go page which I don't like. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Dvarl:
Just change your homepage in browser settings. You cannot change your IMEI!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] stoneme:
Do you know where the IMEI data is located in this phone? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
Imei is hardcoded into the chips. Can't just erase it. Try Google crome

Can we jtag and change its IMEI? If there is any additional info (e.g. websites), it will be very much appreciated.

i think changing your imei might be illegal isnt it? but you can try and google it to see if anything comes up

For me its lagging as hell, I can't really enjoy from this game, I just paid for this game

and try to play MP and SP too, but the game working very slow and bad!

however, I see that there is devices out there that runs the game smoothly with lower graphics settings

we can't really change this settings, as i know Gameloft recognize our device and tell's the game how to run

for our hardware. maybe someone here know how to change this settings to disable effects for better performance.

share how this game is work for you, Thanks :) :good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
mine lags too.

on Leak jellybean rom..

I don't know how people say vice city and mw4 run smooth at max setting..

never the case for me..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pauldgroot:
Vice City runs fine on my S2. I am running CM10 with Siyah Kernel and have the gpu overclocked to 400Mhz, it runs absolutely smooth with only minor framedrops when loading in new content.

To see if the overclocked GPU could be your problem I also tried it with the GPU at stock 267Mhz and I didn't noticed a big change in FPS, still totally playable. CPU was clocked at 1300Mhz.

I hope this helps you, CM10 rocks! I dont have modern combat 4.

EDIT: both times it was running on max graphics.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Tdeljr:
I installed clockwork mod recovery from rom manager, is it possible to switch that for twrp and if so how?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Go into Doc's thread stickied in Dev section and download the TWRP.zip and flash it. Yep, that easy.

Or you can install Goomanager from market and install recovery that way. You may incur some overwrite issues. Maybe not though.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] smokarz:
Guys, my NT is rooted.

Now I need to make a bootable SD card with CWM v6 to flash CM10 ROM.

What's an easy way to do this?

Thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Use CM9-10_CWM_v6.0.1.2_8-16gb_tools_sdcard.zip from here.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] smokarz:
I saw that thread, but a little confused how to follow the directions in there.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] smokarz:
Any other simpler way to make a CWM v6 bootable SD card?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] BoostedB18C:
Its not that difficult. Directions are provided, just follow them

Sent from my NT running Kuzma's CM10.1
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fljoe:
This is the easiest way I found:

1) Download 3 files listed below here: (http://four-nineteen.com/veronica/XDA Developers/Nook Tablet/RECOVERIES/)

a) MLO_u-boot_flashing-boot.rar,

b) CM9-10_CWM_V6.0.1.2_8-16gb_tools_sdcard.zip,

c) CM9-10_TWRP_v2.2.2.0_8-16gb_tools_sdcard.zip

2) Unzip all the above 3 files

3) Rename the CWM file to recovery.img

4) Rename the TWRP file to altboot.img

5) Copy recovery.img and altboot.img and MLO, flashing_boot.img and u-boot.bin to the root of the external SDCard.

6) Download MiniTool Partition Wizard from here: http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html

7) Open up MiniTool Partition Wizard and look for your external SDCard

8) Make sure that your boot partition is Primary FAT32 (type 0x0C) with LBA

9) Make this partition Active (MiniTool: Right-click on Partition -> Modify -> Set Active, click Apply )

10) Make sure your Nook Tablet is turned OFF completely. I confirm this by pressing the "n" button and verify screen is blank

11) Insert the SDCard into the Nook Tablet

12) Connect a powered-USB cable (USB cable connected to power adapter) to the Nook Tablet, press the Power button on the Nook tablet, and the Nook Tablet will boot up after a few seconds (assuming that the SD is bootable).

13) Once CyanoBoot comes up, hold the "N" button to get the boot menu from which you can select one of the two recovery programs.

Credit goes to digixmax who helped me out with this procedure!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nashdude:
Yep smokarz, this is the SD that I used.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lost101:
If you have cwm5 installed, or have it on an sd card; flash this: CWM_v6.0.1.5_emmc

Then from cyanoboot, hold 'n' and choose 'Internal eMMc Recovery.'

Alternatively, I would assume the twrp sd card would allow you to install cm10.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] KeoQue:
I have done like this topic. But my nook stuck at the screen with a catton box. :(
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Try downloading the copy cwm_6012_sd.img from http://goo.im/devs/meghd00t/cwm6, rename it to recovery.img and copy it to your SD card (together with MLO, u-boot.bin, and flashing_boot.img from the pointer above).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] BadKid3011:
i tried but my screen still stuck with the catton box:confused:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MrIssy:
Same issue

I have the same issue... I have tried this method, as well as the Goo method to boot CWM 6 (on a Team B CM7 NT -- no cyanoboot).

Neither one works.... they both hang going into recovery.

I hope we don't have to go back to stock Nook to get to CM10 from Team B CM7.

Issy
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Try steps 1 and 2 (a+b) of the method described at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35669871&postcount=1.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] satan89:
Everybody try this but rename the file to boot.img instead of recovery.img. copy all other files as well

Hit Thanks if I helped you!

Hey all,

I'm in a pinch. I see some people on the other phone sections have had a similar problem, but never truly got it sorted out. My digitizer screen has a crack in it and no longer operates, The phone will power on, but I can't actually do anything with it. I'm trying to retrieve all of my media and data off of it to switch over on to my new Nexus. I'm trying this moborobo program but it doesn't seem to be working. It keeps trying to reinstall the drivers. If anyone could be of ANY help, Please I'm pretty desperate! Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chronostorm:
Does the phone not respond when you connect it to your computer? (no MTP stuff, etc.) If you can still access that, then you should be in luck.

If you want to get more stuff off of your phone than just the basic files, perhaps you can do a backup through CWM recovery, since it's not touch-based, and then restore it onto the new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StealthCBR:
The phone does show on my computer as "Galaxy Nexus" but when I try to access it, it is all completely blank. I tried another way useing the adb devices little trick on the windows cmd prompt but it isn't showing up as a device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jimmah555:
Sounds like you need drivers. Uninstall any drivers for the GNex on your computer, reboot, reinstall known working drivers. There are links in the stickies for the right ones for your device.

All I heard was Nokia will be rolling out the update to the Lumia 920's by the end this month.
[Nokia Lumia 920] StevieBallz:
With the HTC 8X they rolled out the update to unbranded devices first and branded devices the following days. It might be the same with the Lumia 920 update - e.g. AT&T today, next batch tomorrow, etc. But at the moment we can only guess.

From NaviFirm, I can see some European variants has the new firmware. Not sure when they will be able to do OTA, but if you don't mind to restore your backup, then flash it with the correct variant. I think we will see more from now till the beginning of January, and by that time, all the Lumia 920 will already have the latest software.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Assassin5150:
I updated my phone through the Nokia care suite and every thing works great as well as the new options.
[Nokia Lumia 920] loomx:
Was looking forward to getting the update for my Lumia 920, which is being released in the US today.

Turns out Nokia aren’t going to bother releasing it in other markets till February 2013! What a joke!

I know Nokia are pretty much only just breaking into the US market, but ignoring somewhere you actually have a fan base is a very bad idea IMO. And to delay it around 3 months is just a joke! WP8 has been out roughly 1 month and they have managed to process and create the update for the US market, so how come its going to take an additional 2-3 months for the UK market, it simply cant take that long.

They have stated no reason for the delay either.

It wouldn’t be so bad if it was just a camera update, but it is there to fix genuine bugs in the OS too, like random restarts and so on. Luckily I have rarely suffered from the restarts, but I have noticed it happen a few times in my month of ownership.

They need to pull their finger out and release the update in a timely manor around the globe.

Also what happened to the ability to by-pass restrictions and update your phone as soon as an update because available that Microsoft spoke about when announcing WP8?!

Still, it doesn’t detract from the fact that I really like my phone, and the camera is still very good. But it is incredibly annoying knowing that those little bugs and niggles have been fixed, and that the camera has been improved further, and its clearly been tested because its being released on consumer phones. Yet we in the UK will have to wait 2-3 months for it, for as far as I can see no reason at all!
[Nokia Lumia 920] californiarailroader:
I got mine yesterday, so far so good!

By the way, the update is NOT for the US only, it's also being rolled out to Rogers 920's in Canada.
[Nokia Lumia 920] StevieBallz:
US and Canadian devices are identifying themselves as RM-820, the EU Lumias are RM-821. It remains to be seen what differences actually exist but it seems that the US Lumias are simply similar phones but not identical to the EU variants.

Flashing RM-821 onto RM-820 devices to debrand them seem to have failed as far as I read the reports here. But still I agree that the OS update at least should go out to EU Lumias ASAP.

Well I cam read a word of two,

What you are saying is that there is a difference between signal strengths between de white and blue model?

That is most unlikely, i dont think you have tested them under the same conditions.

Also I did not figure out what you wanted to say when you were referring to the repair guy, you had a replacement phone for 3 times and mow getting your fourth

Why did you replace it?

P.s. don't pin me on the translation I have done. English nor German is my mother language.
[Galaxy S III General] JohnMcLane:
Ok at first: I don't think there is a difference between the Black or blue model.

If there is one, maybe the firmware is not the same or a different kernel is used or whatever.

Does your phone work in general? Have you rooted or do you use a custom Rom?

German:

Och denke nicht, dass es da einen großen Unterschied zwischen dem schwarzen und blauen Handy gibt. Guck lieber nach der verwendeten Firmware bzw. Kernel.

Benutzt du eine custom Rom oder bist du rooted?

Hi, I'm curious to know if anybody has found alternate (cheaper) power adapters and cables for the HD+, or if anybody has information on the pinout that makes the stock adapters/cables unique.

Thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] Stevethegreat:
BTW it's far-fetched to expect it to work but has anyone tried to use Apple's 30pin cable for charging? If the pin out for the 5v is the same it may be able to handle charging (most certainly not anything else though). Now that I think it would work, it probably won't fit either... anyway maybe it's worthy of a try for anyone owning both kinds of tablets...
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] someone0:
No they are different 30 pins connector, not to mention they probably have different pins output.
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] cattywh:
I have to say, I hate the new 30 pin Nook cable. :mad:.
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] thegracious:
They are totally different. Apple's cable even doesn't fit to the nook slot.

The Galaxy Tab also has a 30 pin connector that looks very much like it but also does not fit. I have bunch of those I was hoping to use.
