Hi guys,

I have a samsung galaxy s 4g rooted and running CM9. I want to go back to gingerbread, and I know I can heimdall back to stock gingerbread, but I can't flash custom GB Roms like Valhala Black Edition or ICBINB without rebooting into recovery after flashing is done. I can install ICS fine from stock but have trouble with GB roms downgrading from ICS. Should I go back to stock and then flash GB? What is causing this problem? Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
Yes, GB is BML, CM9+ is MTL, so you need to use a 1click and go back to stock + recovery + cwm, then flash your GB from the CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Not all GB ROMs are BLM. Quite a few are MTD. The wiki has a list of each. So you can flash any MTD ROM with whjat you have. If you want to change the partitions back to BML then you will need to one click. Check the wiki it is your friend.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Supersega8:
Ok guys so if I follow this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1470716

Then I should be ok? Also I believe i have froyo bootloaders, is that fine? If I need GB bootloaders, where can I get them, I can't seem to find them. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
If you read that guide it will tell you how to get the GB bootloaders installed. If you are running CM9 though I would bet you are already on GB bootloaders if the phone looks normal when it boots.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Supersega8:
Thanks Hechoen,

Yeah I saw that. Thing is the phone came with Gingerbread preinstalled. So I guess the bootloaders came with the phone. It was just that I needed the three button combo to get into recovery and the button up and button down plus usb cable to get into download mode, doesn't that indicate froyo bootloaders? Thanks! :)

Those key combos work no matter what bootloaders you have.

Hey guys,

I've had my XPERIA PLAY for a few days now, and I have just attempted to root the phone via instructions using SuperOneClick.

The phone is still plugged into the computer, and I got to "daemon not running. starting it now on port 5..." but now my SuperOneClick has become unresponsive (Not Responding) and it's been like that the last 20 mins... I'm afraid to kill the task or unplug my phone cuz I don't want to brick the poor thing!!

Should I wait? Is it safe to unplug? What if it SuperOneClick doesn't respond?? :((((((

Thanks again!

Just unplug it you'll be fine. With all the tools in this forum a brick is literally impossible. And super one click sucks anyway. Just download the flash tool and root it with that or use Doomlords root kit and you'll be good to go

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] muddychief:
guys,

I am trying to find out how to tell if I gave the VRBLK3 baseband version installed. I realize you go to >settings>about and read it displayed. But I've been installing several different ROMs, restoring Nandroids and tweaking the build.prop values to get wallet to work. So I'm just not sure if value I'm seeing for the baseband version is the actual version or just what the build.prop was set at. Is there another way to tell which version I have installed?

I ask because I'm running the galaxy mod 14.1 rom right now and everything is working perfect, but I've watched of video that said when you are running that ROM you should be seeing the VRBLK3.

I just don't know another way to check.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aerichards1977:
If you flashed it (baseband), rom's/backups/ whatever will not change it.

I know some of these new roms are so tweaked things like meid and such are not showing up right. Flashing a more stock rom fixes this but they work fine.

[Motorola Droid X2] Dragunov_SVDS:
I am new to the idea of rooting a phone but am at my wits end with this phone. My stock Droid X2 has become a lagging piece of crap and reboots daily along with numerous other glitches. Through searching for an answer I was linked to this site and the whole idea of rooting my phone. I have been reading on XDA for a few hours but this is all a bit overwhelming to me. Would anybody here be so kind to either explain or give me a little better idea of the steps I need to take to do this? I have seen the video from Tomsgt123 on how to root the phone however I am unsure of the steps to take from my stock phone to a fully rooted with eclipse 2.3 installed.

My phone is currently using 2.3.5 and system version 1.3.418

A lot of the step by step guides on here talk about SBF to 2.3.4 but I am a bit confused since they are older posts and it sounds as if its possible to root from 2.3.5 now.

I have searched quite a bit on here today but really am lost at the steps needed to be taken and in what order to do this.

I want a stable rom that is proven to be reliable and have read that eclipse 2.3 is among the best for this. I am hoping by rooting and installing this rom it might make my phone a little more usable.

If anybody has a link to a step by step guide or would be willing to help me with some advice I would greatly appreciate it!

And so you know, Eclipse is the only ROM you are able to use on 2.3.5, which is probably the most stable. All the other ROMs on here will require you to go back to 2.3.4. I thought I would share that so you dont try to flash one of the other ones onto 2.3.5.

Been working on this for about 2 hours and I got the Wifi Hotpot working after rooting the stock ROM. I would always get the tethering nag when trying to use the stock tether app even rooted.

1) Installed Titanium Backup

2) Uninstalled TetheringProvision 4.06.30

3) Stock Hotspot app would crash at that point.

4) Installed Foxfi and it worked like a charm. None of the other apps at the app store would work though. Typing this from the hotspot!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] planoman:
Excellent! Ditto on your method except installing foxfi. I downloaded fattin hotspot toggle widget and it toggles the hotspot on and supposedly bypasses the security verification. I uninstalled the tethering provision to give me added piece of mind. It works great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] braddman:
My hotspot wouldn't work at all before uninstalling the Tethering provision, with any app. The ones that WOULD enable it, (there was only 1), it would connect, but I would not have internet. All the other ones wouldn't even enable the hotspot at all.

T-Mobile’s CEO John Legere announced that T-Mo is working to have 100 million customers covered in LTE by mid-2013, and 200 million by the end of the year. It’s certainly a tall task, but they seem to be up for the challenge. On the heels of that, we got word of an LTE-equipped Galaxy S3 that’ll be available fairly soon. Along with their LTE rollout, T-Mobile will have to launch a whole new (or updated) line of LTE-capable devices. (Source)

any suggestions?

Hello all, currently I'm running cm7 rom. I've been on this rom for a while now and want to try something new. My kernel is imsoyen(so?) 5.1.0aosp. Both my radios end in 906w I believe.

The rom I want to try is -NuSenseROM-ICS-Sense-3-6-XLoud-Beta-

It's been a while since I flashed a rom but I'm pretty sure I remember. But don't I need to switch radios for this to work? If so what order do I need to flash, rom then radio, right?

Your kernels are included in the ROM and flashed automatically when you install the ROM.

I was running UnSense until the text kept scribbling up on me... but its a great ROM.

From what I understand, though, Santod is working on an update that may fix this issue and more. I just hate that he is going back to more sense things, but really, its for the better of this ROM. I hope he keeps the AOSP look going though. I highly recommend you to try UnSense if you're wanting to flash ICS.

Otherwise, if you want a good gingerbread ROM, I highly recommend InfectedROM Eternity 8.4.

Installing NuSenseROM without following the install guide will yield you force closes.

I'm guessing you neglected to format in ext3 as stated in the Op.

Not at all trying to get anyone to try it again.

It just bugs me whenever I see someone talking about any rom's issues, when it's likely something they did.

Enjoy your CM7 or whatever your preference is.

I'm not trying to change your mind, just letting you know that you most likely did not install it as instructed, or you would not be having force closes.
