[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timeehz:
My model number is SGH-I897

I'm gonna try what you said now ;)

EDIT:

Okay I did what u said and my phone got into download mode!

I downloaded this file :

I897UCKK4 Odin One Click - Stock, CONTAINS Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe

And Odin found my phone and I pressed Start

It now says SetupConnection.. for about 5 minutes

How long do I have to wait?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
If still no progress...U can stop Odin and completely start over as i outlined. Try a different port and/or different cable.

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

Be sure to have a constant power source and a reliable cable when flashin bootloaders. During the few seconds it takes to flash the boot.bin and sbl.bin, u don't want to loose power or usb/micro usb connection.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timeehz:
Okay I did that and I manged to install that one click i897uckk4.

It installed the new software and all my apps are gone again but still the home button is not working and the back button still closes all my apps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
And for future reference, once u have these bootloaders flashed that r included with the kk4, there should be no need to flash back to stock with bootloaders again. If u ever need to flash stock i897 firmware again, just use one without bootloaders.

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------

Yes. That was a full wipe firmware.

Not sure why ur home button is not working and back button acts like home button ??? May be capacitive hardware issue ??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timeehz:
I have no idea why these buttons are doing so weird but I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware problem because only when I installed this they stopped working. Are there any other versions I can try like the one I had before or would that totally destroy my phone?

I was trying to follow this tutorial to get it back running again but since I couldn't get into download mode I never did that:

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-4-1-galaxy-s-i9000-install-remics-jb-rom/

Can I just follow that guide now or would that get into trouble with the stuff I just installed?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
^

U don't need to flash that stuff in the guide u linked, because that is only for i9000.

There are other firmwares u can try to flash in that thread where the kk4 is located. Just use the ones without bootloaders.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timeehz:
It now says:

"Firmware upgrade fail!

Try using recovery mode"

When I try to get it into download to install another version without bootloaders o;

Is there any way to just get it back to factory settings? I just want it to work that's all :P
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Use that as a download mode screen.

See this....http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33227557
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timeehz:
I installed the one without bootloader but still same problem with the buttons. And what do you mean that I can't follow the tutorial because it's for the I9000. I have a I9000 right?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
U said u have an i897. That is a Captivate. I9000 is not the Captivate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timeehz:
It says i897 on my phone but maybe that's the software I installed because I looked up the Samsung captivate on google and that's not the phone I have. I have a I9000 ( samsung galaxy S )

Maybe that's why the buttons are not working?

Any idea what to install for the i9000?

Btw 6 months ago i installed this:

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-4-0-4-ics-for-galaxy-s-i9000/

And that worked all the time and that's also for the i9000?

EDIT:

I manged to install Semaphore 2.7.4 for the Samsung Galaxy S and my buttons are working now!

Any idea what the best software is to install for the Galaxy S? :)

Thanks for all the help so far btw I didn't thought I was able to get it running again ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
There's isn't a ''Best'' Software per say. It goes to user preference but I highly recommend AOKP or AoCP (Both on Jelly Bean).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Timeehz,

Pull ur battery and see what phone u actually have. There should be some info there on a sticker. If u have an i9000, then go to that forum and flash the correct firmware etc. for ur phone.

This thread has gotten confusing because u and we here don't know what phone u actually have.

Once u get to the correct forum for what phone u have, then read the stickied threads. They contain all the info u should need.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 45ACP1911:
Anyone know of an easy way to remove this icon. Is For chompsms. I want to keep the quick compose in the notification center but just remove the icon. I hate a cluttered statusbar. I've read a few things from Google but it's a pretty lengthy process. Have to unpack, edit, repack and re sign. Looking for something easy. Coming from an iphone themeing was pretty simple and I'm hoping there's a quick easy way to do that here. Nor looking to change or just want to get rid of it all together
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] spycedtx:
If the app wants to put its icon up there, you either have to hope the app allows you to turn it off, or you use the repackaging to replace/remove it.

It's up to the app what it puts up there, if anything.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question

[LG Optimus 2x] MissLight:
Hello everyone!

I'm a new member from today but I have read (and read and read...) the threads here and on every forum I could find, in desperate search for an answer to my questions, but so far I have found none.

Don't shop my head of now but could someone please be so kind and help me root my LG Optimus 2x by giving me a step-by-step info AND include the correct files AND then tell me what to do to have them installed?

There seem to be all too many different alternatives and I am really confused!

Here's what I've done so far -

I had Gingerbread installed and got the phone rooted with SuperOnecClick.

Upgraded then the phone to Ice Cream Sandwish 4.0.4 with LG Support Tool and lost root.

Tried to root with SuperOneClick again but constantly got stuck at # 5 or # 7 (waiting for device).​

So, how do I root and where do I find the correct firmware for this?

Android

4.0.4

Bandwithversion

1035.21_20121130

Kernel-version

2.6.39.4

Version

IMM76L.LG-P990-P99030a.1211302332

Software

P99030a

Android SDK

Superuser (not rooted)

SuperOneClick
[LG Optimus 2x] DrummerMuppet:
Hi there,

Since you upgraded to official ICS, you can't use SuperOneClick to get root access again, but fear not as there are alternatives. Here you will find three different methods to root your device. In your case, I believe you need to use either the second or third option listed there.

Be aware that the third option will wipe your device, including your internal SD card, so it'd be a good idea to backup first, just in case. All three methods are harmless, but you never know.
[LG Optimus 2x] MissLight:
Thank you for your reply! Now I'm on and a step closer in fixing this.

So, my phone cannot be rooted because of Official ICS?! Oh!

- that was new news to me and it could have saved me countless of hours if I had found that information out sooner. A pity I did not write here weeks ago!

I have some more questions though and I think I'm going for the 2nd option in the link you gave me.

"Put your phone into nvflash mode". Do I need a tool for that? (Here I was linking to a nvflash-setup, but as I am a new memeber I am not allowed to post outside links yet). Or do I just hold down volyme + power in order to get into that nvflash mode?

By "unzipping attached archive" I assume it means zipping it on the PC and not on the SD card?

When doing this procedure, do I have the phone in Charging or Mass storage mode?

Just a few questions I hope you (someone) have to time to give me an answer to - Thank you!
[LG Optimus 2x] DrummerMuppet:
You can get it rooted, only not with SuperOneClick ^^

To enter nvflash mode turn off your device, remove the battery, then press and hold Vol- and Power at the same time and plug your phone to your PC via USB. Then follow the rest of the instructions.

Yep ^^ you need to extract the files from the zip to your PC.
[LG Optimus 2x] MissLight:
Ok, next question :

"boot into cwm and flash SuperSU Root.zip"

How am I suppose to flash anything when the telephone is black and I'm not into it and only work from the computer?

How do I do that?

I'm stuck with a black screen only on the phone.

I heared nothing or saw nothing that sais (sound) that the phone is connected through the USB, but I have followed each step and are now stuck at above question.

Greatful for more help! :)
[LG Optimus 2x] DrummerMuppet:
No, there's no need to reflash ICS. The second method listed there just flashes the unlocked bootloader + root + custom CWM, and it won't touch your data & settings.

That's OK. When in nvflash mode, you won't see anything on screen. All you'll get is the sound it makes when connected to USB.

Don't worry, you're nearly there! Keep going!

Edit: just realized I made one small mistake. To enter nvflash mode, you need to press and hold both Vol+ & Vol- at the same time (this also requires removing the battery first). Sorry about that!
[LG Optimus 2x] MissLight:
Edit: just realized I made one small mistake. To enter nvflash mode, you need to press and hold both Vol+ & Vol- at the same time (this also requires removing the battery first). Sorry about that!

Oh! That explains why. :) My next question was published above your question and still remains.

How do I "boot into cwm and flash SuperSU Root.zip"?

Edit : This procedure does somehow not work on XP so I changed to Windows7 and have now come a bit further. The only thing remaining now is that the computer sais that it cannot find the USB device.

I have downloaded the LG modem and USB firmware but maybe I need something else? Does the firmware in a folder on C: just as NvFlash and SU-folder.
[LG Optimus 2x] MissLight:
Got OK with USB firmware and all set to go now.

But, in NVFlash Recovery it sais :

Please pick bootloader, or exit (1,X)? (I pressed 1)

Attempting to flash bootloader...

Nvflash started

USB device not found

Program will now exit​

So, I'm stuck. :(

The phone can be found both in Mass Storage mode and I got a OK that the drivers are installed.
[LG Optimus 2x] DrummerMuppet:
Alright, it sounds like you still need the APX drivers. I believe you can find it somewhere on the Development forum (find tonyp's threads, I'm sure he has posted it there). If you already did this, then remember to hold and press both Vol buttons when selecting option 1 so Nvflash can connect to your device and do all the magic.

Don't give up yet, you're a few seconds away from rooting your device (and learning stuff at the same time ^^).
[LG Optimus 2x] MissLight:
Tried exactly as you said but still no luck. But I'm not giving up! ;)

I found a APX driver. Installed and unziped in the same file as NvFlash. Rebooted PC and tried again.

Still no luck - "USB device not found".

What am I doing wrong?

BEFORE removing the battery from mobile, shall I have Mass Storage or Charging marked?

Do I need to have USB Debugging marked or not?
[LG Optimus 2x] MissLight:
Latest Update :

I managed to install Nvidia usb boot recovery in the device manager and it's OK.

The device is now found and I got the phone into S/W Upgrade please wait while upgrading-mode.

And there I am - stuck. Nothing more happens. It has freeze.

What do I do next?

A question : How do I "boot into cwm and flash SuperSU Root.zip" - how do I do that?
[LG Optimus 2x] DrummerMuppet:
Nice! Has nvflash finished flashing? If so, it should be safe to unplug the device now.

Put the battery back on, press and hold both Power and Vol- at the same time until the second LG logo appears to enter CWM. From there, select "Install zip from SD card" (or something similar) and select the SU zip file you previously stored onto your sdcard. CWM will then flash the necessary files to root your device! Once done, reboot and enjoy!
[LG Optimus 2x] MissLight:
Hi again! It's not going as well unfortunately. Very mysterious. *laugh*

"until the second LG logo appears to enter CWM. From there, select "Install zip from SD card"

When pressing Volyme - + Volyme up + Power I get a black screen. Nothing more happens.

And after flashing the flash-boot in NvFlash the phone goes into s/w upgrade please wait while upgrading-mode.

And there it is. Stuck. Nothing more happens. I repeted the procedure for 5 times. I only get to the s/w-mode.

After 3 hours I unplugged it and will restart my search today for what's blocking it to continue.

Hm? Hmmmm....? Any suggestions in what might be wrong?
[LG Optimus 2x] DrummerMuppet:
You have to push and hold only Vol- and Power this time ^^ That will get you into CWM if the flash-boot.bat went right.
[LG Optimus 2x] MissLight:
Great, I'm in!

But I managed to place the SU zip on wrong device (internal, not external).

How do I get out from cwm-mode, there's no "exit" options?
[LG Optimus 2x] DrummerMuppet:
There should be a Reboot option, use it and your phone will boot as usual. When you're done moving the SU zip file to the external SD card, power off your 2X and do as instructed above to enter CWM again ^^
[LG Optimus 2x] MissLight:
Thank you for replying so quickly!!!!!

There is a reboot option BUT I unfortunately pressed adb sideload (hoping to install the SU.zip that way, but the device is not to be found on the PC at all in that mode so I can't reach it through cmd either!).

So, I'm completely STUCK at adb sideolad-mode.... (sorry). I'm starting to get grey hair.
[LG Optimus 2x] DrummerMuppet:
Hahahah XD don't worry, just remove the battery and put it back again ^^
[LG Optimus 2x] MissLight:
*BIG SMILE* Guess what? I have root access! *jumping up and down of joy*

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU so very much for your guidance!

I believe in passing knowledge forward and I will do my best to help others noobs with what you just learned me!​

For a stubborn noob like me I was not reflecting over some obvious things though. As that the SU.zip had to be placed on SD-card (and not being unzipped in C: )

And that I had to get the Nvidia APX in order to make NvFlash to work properly (and search through Google to find it and how to make it work).

And that when I'm stuck in CWM I can always remove the battery. ;)

Once again. I'm very glad and THANK you and all credit to You!
[LG Optimus 2x] DrummerMuppet:
You know, I decided to help you because of your will to learn and do stuff by yourself. Many come here and ask for help without trying anything by themselves first, so I actually enjoyed watching you learn ^^

See? It wasn't that hard. All it takes is a lot of reading and patience.

Good job, and welcome to XDA!
[LG Optimus 2x] MissLight:
I absolutely agree! Even though I know a little about many things I always get "obsessed" with fixing whatever the problem might be, not matter how long it will take.Whatever it's about in life! Everything can be fixed, it's just a matter of time and how.

But technically - the biggest problem is sometimes to find the right person/ right people TO help.

I've been trying to fix this since the end of November.

You can only get so much help out of Google, Youtube and countless of 100'ds of forums, but sometimes you are completely stuck in even knowing how to start.

And here's where you came in and solved it for me, step by step. *smile*

I will now remove all useless apps and see what more fun there is to do with root. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] MissLight:
Oh!

Hm...! The only thing now that has happend is that I can no longer get access to Mass Storage through the PC/USB!

It charges ok but that's it. Any ideas what caused that?
[LG Optimus 2x] DrummerMuppet:
Mmm try Settings > PC Connection > USB Connection Type and select Mass Storage or MTP
[LG Optimus 2x] MissLight:
It seems like "remove the battery and restart" is an Universal problem solution to almost everything. Perhaps not on a pacemaker *smile* but it most certainly is on LG phones!

Everything's back in order again. Mass storage works and I'm happy.

Thank you!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] DrummerMuppet:
Ah, that usually helps too hehe :D
[LG Optimus 2x] szander:
Hi.

Just wanted to thank both MissLight and DrummerMuppet :laugh:

Just got my phone root access, strangest thing happen when i had choosed the zip file for root, i got alot of errors.

So with big eyes i sat and thought of what to do... But with a little courage in my finger i choosed to reboot, then i was getting a meaasage that i havent got the correct root access and the option to fix it???

So offcourse i choose to do so, did have to do it twice, the phone restarted and after a quick check i had root access and nothing had happen to my device :laugh:

Once again, a BIG thank you both.

(sorry for my bad spelling, but i am very tired)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nagato.fm:
From some point Aurora started to just freeze when even slightly used, so I was made to do a backup and rollback to stock B138 because I needed my phone working right at that moment. Neither factory reset nor installing of 4.1u1a helped, also tried to delete all the tweaks I had (some init.d and build.prop tweaks available on this forum) and it didn't helped too. Now I have some spare time and want to deal with this issue. So can anybody share the experience of speeding up Aurora? I think the problem is in some tweaks I had.

before writing, I'm so sorry for my pooooor English.

I live in Toronto, Canada. I bought my Galaxy Note(SHV-E160L) from Korea, so change sim card from LG U+ to Rogers.

but when I sleep, Note encounter Unlimited Reboot.

so I try to repair in 3-way.

first, Factory reset. but I could make Download mode only, couldn't make Recovery mode.

so I try Samsung Kies Recovery mode, but Kies show me binery Error.

last, I want to use ODIN, but ODIN show me Error Message, too.

"Complete(write) operation failed"

What this means?

If it can't be repaired, I must send my cell phone to Korea.

I'm very embrassed...

please help me!!

and Merry Christmas for you:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
Is it sticking on factoryfs.img in ODIN ? this usually means its bricked :( which kernel where you on when you did the factory reset ?

I had a similar issue last week, stuck in odin, everything failing, I was convinced it was bricked, I manage to repair it by (no joking here) flashing a million wrong things in ODIN.... But DO NOT TRY THIS lol

try to flash a safe kernel through ODIN, and then see if it bring back recovery, then you can wipe and flash a new rom (hopefully)

otherwise there is the pit file method to revive from a brick, which works well, but loses around 3gb of internal sd space :(

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgtPower:
Same problem as OP

Hello guys,

unfortunately, I have the same problem with my 32GB SHV-E160L as OP. Little backstory:

I bought the GNote in Korea and brought it back to my country. I successfully rooted it with one of the guides here on XDA (Tegrak kernel, no OC whatsoever). No problems so far, the phone worked for weeks and I was able to do what you can do with rooted phones. One day while surfing the net it just crashed and was stuck in a boot loop. This is where I am now.

I tried:

Go into tegrak recovery. result: It gets stuck on samsung logo, funnily the phone would establish a usb connection if plugged in (as if in download mode)

Reset from Kies. result: After beeing told by Kies to go into download mode, instead of flashing the new software it gives an error message in Korean about missing binaries (see attachment)

Flash from odin. result: the dreaded red box with "fail" appears after the NAND write command

Now, after doing my research here on XDA I found out that my emmc might have damaged partitions and I need a PIT file. Here's where I'm stuck.... I can't find a PIT file for my 32GB note, only for the N7000 or the I717. And I don't want to mess things further up... so if anyone here could provide me with a PIT file, or tell me how to fix the phone through other means I would be really grateful

Thanks in advance....
