[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zagnew18:
Hello all, I'm very new at rooting so bear with me please!

I've been trying to follow the instructions to boot my phone into stock recovery in order to flash clockworkmod for the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G. One of the steps is to reboot the phone into "stock recovery" by holding the volume up and power buttons at the same time. My phone will simply continuously restart itself while the power button is held. There is no screen that appears where I can click the button for updating my sd card to install the clockworkmod software, though this is what all the forums are telling me to do in order to boot into stock recovery. I've tried several times, and my phone always just restarts as if I'm not trying to do anything fancy, just goes right to my main screen with no changes. Help please?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
I believe the problem your having is that your holding the power button too long. You only need to hold the volume up and power buttons until you see tiny blue or other tiny text in the upper left hand corner of the screen saying the phone is entering recovery mode. This should take you into the stock recovery. Let me know if you still have questions :).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zagnew18:
Yeah I gave it a shot. When the phone restarts, the first thing on the screen is the Exhibit 4G logo, there's never any tiny text in a corner or anything like that :/

Even if I only hold the buttons briefly, the phone either turns all the way on to my main screen, or doesn't turn on at all if I don't hold the buttons long enough. I really wanna get into ROMing after seeing how great rooted phone apps were. I'm not sure what's blocking my phone from getting into the stock recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Do you have adb setup on your computer? If you do you can type the command:

adb reboot recovery

From adb to reboot into recovery mode.

I have a mac computer that uses "terminal", is this similar to what you are referring to?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Yes since Macs use OSX which is based on Unix it should work. Just make sure you follow this guide to setting up ADB and fastboot on Mac if you haven't done so already http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1917237.

So I need help again... I downloaded the file "cwm.6012.t679.zip" and dropped it on my sd card. When I booted the phone into stock recovery, I tried to apply that update so I would have clockworkmod recovery. Keeps saying signature verification failed. Any other suggestions? If it's not one thing, it's the next....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
If you can post the link to the guide your using I can try and take a look. Also try removing the extra periods from the file name so instead of "cwm.6012.t679.zip" try "cwm6012t679.zip".

Here is the guide:

Tried eliminating the extra periods, still got the same response. As soon as it tries to validate the update, it tells me the signature cannot be verified.

You can also try a different procedure for obtaining root access or use ODIN to flash this Clockworkmod Recovery .tar file from here. You can find other rooting procedures for the Galaxy Exhibit 4g from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26859796
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zagnew18:
I found some posts in the forums on my phone's model number. (SGH T759) Further research indicates there may be no clockworkmod recovery available for this device. A combination of various root apps have made this phone a powerhorse, so it's a shame there were no further developments for this phone in particular. I appreciate your effort to aid my case. You were very helpful.

Now that we have Windows Phone 8, what is next? What features will make it better and which are missing? Would you like to see things like a notifications center, a third screen swiped to the left, start screen background pictures or more tile colors? How about a file explorer or the ability to receive and download mp3 files via email instead of just being able to listen to it? WP 8 is great but it could be so much more.

Hi, im new. I really want to flash the 7.8 rom that just came out but i have a few problems/questions.

1. I bought my device used, i dont know if it has ospl or not. PS when i go into bootloader mode i get a White screen that gives me option to restore to Factory settings and something else, im guessing thats for stock firmware? well ospl.

2. ¨WARNING TO ALL:

Do NOT use RSPL / HSPL with Mozart 4.XX and other RUU ROMS with MANGO.

All WP7F devices affected: MOZART, GOLD, SCHUBERT, MONDRIAN, SPARK!

It will damage your device. Not a joke¨

and

List of supported MIDs:

Gold: “PC92****”, “PC921000”

Mozart: “MOZA1000”, “PD67****”, “PD671000”, “PD671200”

Mondrian: “PD26****”, “PD261000”, “PD261100”

Si i have mango, just to be sure, i dont have ruu mango like it says up there right? it that a custom rom?

and my mid is pd26100, not pd261000. Does pd26**** include my mid? because it has 8 digits, mine has 7 digits.

can i do the hspl and get 7.8? thanks in advance

[Surround General] SlightlyOffensive:
First of all, go into bootloader mode (power button + volume down!). Write ur SPL version here so we could help u. P.S: Ur MID is supported, cuz u can't see the last digit in the bootloader mode.
[Surround General] CarloAguilar:
its spl 1.52.2250.4
[Surround General] SlightlyOffensive:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1195647

Use this guide to install HSPL. Launch RSPL first, then install HSPL. After that go into bootloader again and check HSPL graph. It should be like HSPL-1.52.2250.4.

Then just launch ROMUpdateUtility in your ROM's folder.
[Surround General] SlightlyOffensive:
Give us feedback about ur progress.
[Surround General] CarloAguilar:
Thanks you so much. by the way any good roms you might recommend? I was gonna install the 7.8 rom but someone told they dont recommend it

i can only boot a rom when i choose the recovery option from the bootloader. its the newest possible bootloader.1.14.005 i think.if i want to install a rom i have to go to the bootloader, then install open recovery with fastboot then reboot the bootloader , then reboot to the newly installed recovery wipe everything , install the rom, power off.boot into bootloader load the kernel with fastboot, then restart the bootloader an then if i want to boot in to the rom its just stays on the logo with the red warning, so i taught its a brick but then went to bootloder and chose recovery - this way is boooting the rom.

Please could someone explain it to me - is that the way to do it for now???

Tried to install open recovery from goo manager its says installed but its not, still boots the rom instead.

When flashing a kernel, do I have to be on S-OFF?

Hello all,

Got my Droid Incredible 2 back in July 2011. Rooted and flashed a custom ROM pretty much right away. Since, I have had almost no problems with this phone (except the alarm clock stopped working a few months ago...) and it has been through a lot.

Recently, my phone has been acting kind of weird. I am not quite sure what the problem is (sometimes the battery seems to drain extremely fast, pretty much only symptom atm and very random). I am going to keep using it regularly for a few more days to see if the problem is persistent.

Anyways, if the phone is actually OK still, I was thinking it might be nice to get a fresh new ROM. Like I said, got the phone 07/11, haven't touched it since.

I am liking this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1892450

What is the recommended process of backing up my data and flashing this one on? I see the instructions in the thread and intend to follow them, if anyone has more detailed explanations or would like to walk me through it that would be appreciated.

Do I need to update anything else? Like I said, phone is on pretty old software/firmware since I have not received any official updates over the life time of my phone. I am seeing kernels and radios, will mine work? Can I tell? Are there better ones I should use?

I am currently rooted. Running rmk's Ginger Sense ROM (found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1161411) which is Android version 2.3.3 and Sense version 2.1. I have Titanium Backup and Superuser apps installed.

So, its been a while. Help me update right. I will continue to research but my knowledge relating to this process is currently severely lacking, so any help is appreciated. My phone has been fast, smooth, and stable - I would love to keep it that way!

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] NeverSeparate:
Just follow the instructions in the op. Do them as it says. Be sure to reboot recovery after installing rom and before flashing gapps. It wont break your phone if you forget, but it might help the soft keys work right. No need to update firmware. The kernel he includes is custom too so you dont have to flash a different one, research if you want to though, there are others that work. Try it without changing radios, if you want to change radios its simple and there is a thread that has them on xda.

i've noticed the past week or so that my battery life isn't so hot. right now for example, my battery is 56. off the charger for 14 hours, but screen on time is only 1 hour. i also have smart actions battery saver on, which turns off data and sync when the screen is off (which has basically been all day except for the 1 hour screen was on). the only things i have done today, is 1 phone call (less than 10 minutes). some texts, browsed web less than 10 minutes, and played W.E.L.D.E.R. for a bit. does this seem normal? with the battery being the main selling point of the maxx, i thought it would be better than this

I've observed similar issues with battery life ironically enough, when using smart actions to aid in battery life! I no longer use smart actions for such purposes. I reset phone and now manually adjust settings throughout the day, which is not difficult i.e., turn off wifi, sync, bluetooth, etc., when I no I will not be using it and have had much better success with my battery life and can go 15 + hours and use maybe 40% of my battery talking, texting, and moderate data use. I have no answer as to why smart actions might cause this problem.

You dont understand them. Flash a stock rom using odin. Or better yet, flash the stock rom you wanted in the first place using odin. If you have cwm right now its likely you are rooted correct? If you are, have you deleted any system apps? If you have the update wouldn't go through anyway. If you are on a custom rom it won't go through anyway. Just use odin and be done with it.

What is the stock version OS for this? I seem to find many answers. Some places list it as 4.0.3, and others list it as 4.0.x or 4.0.?...

Last night I made the horrible choice to update the OS from the stock. Something I had been putting off for months. After I updated it, the system said I had 4.0.3, and there were noticeable changes (the sound that plays when booting up, the infamous 'water drop' sound, the horrible white-washing of the keyboard and sound controls, etc.) Before I decide to try this ROM/Root-ing stuff, I decided to keep updating and see if there were new changes that updated the things I didn't like. No luck. All the things I hate are still present... Current version as reported by the tablet "About device" in settings says 4.1.1 with Kernel 3.0.31-523998 and Build number JRO03C.P5113UECLK7.

I am interested in trying the ROM/Root-ing. But I can't find a solid reference to what version of ICS this came with (unit was purchased in July 2012). The box and every other printed document I could find simply says "Adroid 4.0" or "ICS 4.0", and does not tell me if it is 4.0.3 or 4.0.x or whatever.

I want my normal bootup sound to play. I want these white-washed keyboards and other controls out of here! And for the love of anything, this water drop sound needs to take a dirt nap.

I suppose I would also be happy with anyone who can tell me how to get back the normal dark keyboard and other visuals and/or change the water drop sound back to the simple 'click' that was there before. Although I have already searched for this option and I have not come across these solutions (outside of ROMing and changing the .ogg files around).

ANY help or directions will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance,
