[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ApriliaM3:
Download mode can be accessed by holding Volume Down and Home and Power buttons together.

If nothing happens and you're sure that your battery has some remaining charge, then there's a good chance it is hard bricked.

You could also try a USB Jig (ebay is your friend) and see if that helps but otherwise it's off to the Samsung Service Center for you.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudarshan_mehta:
try to go in download mode by pressing vol down plus home plus power button simultaneously. if it goes in download mode then flash original firmware of your phone and restore it:)

and if it doesn't go in download mode then there is nothing much we can do,,,, you have to take it to service center:(
[Android] amirfida:
Hello guys i have been searching forums and google for a while now but i haven't found my answer i want boot.img to create custom recovery for coby kyros 7030 (china made tablet) i have searched in tablet using es file explorer for boot.img but haven't found it ....

Please guys help me find the location of boot.img

Thanks
[Android] amirfida:
Dump - guys please help me out and its running ICS 4.0.4 ....
[Android] HypoTurtle:
boot.img as seen from a running ROM is one of the mtd blocks typically /dev/mtd/mtd2 . Search for if= and of=, for how to get it from the device.

Or (depending on if the binary is installed), run dump_image boot /sdcard/boot.img. Both of these should require root, without root = no boot.img.

And fyi not sure how you can go from boot.img to recovery.img... only reason I can see is that you want the kernel/zImage.
[Android] amirfida:
actually the reason i want boot.img file is that i want to create custom recovery for it (CWM) i have seen that CWM builder website it requires boot.img file to create custom recovery and i have rooted the tablet and installed Terminal Emulator .. Now ill try that command from terminal and tell you what happens and mtd blocks are not there in /dev ... :(
[Android] amirfida:
okay after using that command it says

"/system/bin/sh: dump_image: not found"

i don't know what to do now :(
[Android] HypoTurtle:
Just means you don't have that binary the other method I mentioned is described here : under alternate method
[Android] amirfida:
okay i am going to try that method and then ill report you back ...
[Android] amirfida:
damn the alternative method also didn't worked there's no proc directory in there :(

any other method you got ?

i really wanna make custom recovery so i can make nandroid backup of it and make custom roms and flash them ...
[Android] amirfida:
okay i tried the first method too but it says segmentation fault i don't know why :(
[Android] shinobisoft:
You can also manually place "dump_image" on your device via ADB. You will need to Google for a download tho.
[Android] amirfida:
okay i am gonna google for that and then ill report back soon ...
[Android] amirfida:
i am getting fed up now :(

i tried this method "http://t-rec.com/Android/CobyKyrosMid7024/DumpRom/"

but when i type the last command it says error no such file or directory please help me someone :(
[Android] amirfida:
okay guys atlast i did it i used a utility and system dump worked i now have all the files which i need now ill try to build the recovery and thanks to "shinobisoft" and "HypoTurtle" for all the help :D XDA is really a damn nice place :D Thanks once again ;)
[Android] aeioo:
May I know what utility you have used? I am facing the same problem.
[Android] Shmarkus:
the simplest way is to log into adb shell and run

and then exit adb and run

this assumes that your boot is on mtd2 (run: cat /proc/mtd on the device to determine right partition)
[Android] danjac:
well i know it's been a quite long time...

but according to your thread from then you managed to dump boot.img without root using some kind of tool.

could you please tell me how you did it? i'm in a similar situation.

thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Seth_:
I am thinking about rooting my Xperia P, but firstly I made a backup ftf from PCC using flashtool (I have non branded stock ROM 1.54).

Then I downloaded stock ROM 1.54 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2020778, unpack both ROMs and use WinMerge to compare them. I expected that all sin files are the same. And they were, except loader.sin. And now my questios is: why loader.sin is different? My XP has locked bootloader.

I downloaded also kernel 1.54 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1900172 and compared with my ftf with the same result - loader.sin is different (but kernel.sin is the same).

Hello! I recently modded an atrix4g lapdock for use with my atrix hd. All systems are go except for the screen. It's like a widescreen movie, but worse! I need help ásap please.

[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] AntrikoS:
Hey guys, I'm looking for a mod, app or something which can make the soft buttons light up when there is a notification like a missed call, unread message etc.

I would appreciate a lot any assistance.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] dariolob:
Until someone ports BLN in our kernel, no notifications light :(
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] AntrikoS:
There is NoLed app which can make pixels light in screen and there is nothing to light up the buttons?!

What's the deal with bln kernel? Needs root? It's a custom rom or what?
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] dariolob:
Nothing because an app that interacts with the screen doesn't rely on a kernel feature like BLN. The feature itself doesn't require root while the apps to manage it yes (BLN control for example) but this is not the problem. No custom rom or anything, just a kernel feature and since no kernel developer joined our community I guess no one here is able to unpack zImage, integrate BLN and repack the whole thing (custom kernel). However I'm confident it's only a matter of time :)

On Play Store there's an app that should make soft button light up with notifications, it's called Light Flow if I don't get wrong but AFAIK it doesn't work with our device :(
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] mfsieg:
BLN kernel is now available!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mojorisin7178:
Hi I was wondering if any of the devs out there can make a thread with a collection of modds for the stock rom. So we can do what we want without flashing a new rom. Or just flash the deodexed stock rom. Then add modds. It would be something like this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2057732

That is how I got my note 2 setup the way I like it. I do want to learn how to do that kinda stuff myself but I am not ready for that yet. Just an Idea if not then I will just have to use one of the roms we have here.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
What mod are you looking for?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
I would gladly start adding things like that to my Resource guide, I'm just not pulling all the links of things and moving them cause it would take hours and hours, not to mention some of the mods out there are rom specific and will not work on just a deodexed version. If people were to test and confirm I'd start working on it for my Resource guide.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] photolarry:
I agree

I currently would love to learn how to do kitchen mods. But nobody offered any tutorials on such matters for a Windows box. I know I know...Linux/Ubuntu is easier with source but I am not ready to learn all that crap. I think there is a Kitchen for Windows but have not found it out there just yet. If someone has a link...I would be grateful. THX

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F3AR420:
Right Soooo I left this tablet off the charger for quite a while. It died and I thought nothing of it. Went to charge it today and it just keeps looping on and off with the battery charging screen but it isn't charging. It's been on the charger all day but it simply isn't charging. Is there anything I can do?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menelkir:
Take off charger, wait for screen turn off, hold power button until the logo appears. See if you can do that.

sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this is what happens when lithium cells/batterys charge is below 3.5 - 2.8 volts , your options are: leave it plugged in till it wakes up an stays on ; plug it in til it turns off,unplug and plug in reapeating till it juices up enough to stay on ; remove the battery and plug back in as a reboot (requires opening the tab) ; or remove the battery and aply 5.0 volts @ 1.5-1.7 amps for NO MORE than 2 hours, then plug back into the tab and resume normal charging .( hope this helps you/your tab) never leave dead lithium uncharged for more than a couple days

[HTC One X] matt95:
Yeah sorry, my fault
[HTC One X] gunswick:
I have this too - its a Jelly Bean bug.

Turn the volume upto 100% during a call then back down to the level you want, you can do this whilst a call is dialing so thats it already done when it starts ringing.

If you are already at 100% volume, then you still need to try to increase the volume before you try to decrease it or it wont work sometimes as well.
[HTC One X] Rubman:
Is this seriously the only solution, because I will need to do this every time I get a call.

Is there a permanent solution in sight?

Turning the call up then down solves it

Well, I tried it and it seems that works for me! The sound is louder and clearer now.

[Other TouchPad Development] castrwilliam:
Unfortunately the OP appears to have based this on my 12.10 beta1, not my 12.10 final. I'm making an overlay tarchive that will fix most of the bugs, along with a few I didn't encounter on my release.

Bugs which will be fixed:

SDcard is mounted with incorrect uid/umask (Downloads aren't writable, etc.)

PulseAudio crashes in middle of long outputs (like music) - This requires the disablement of PulseAudio. Sorry, no OSX-like volume sounds.

No kexec capable kernel.

/dev/mmcblk0p13 is mounted on top of existing files in /boot, making it difficult to install kexec kernel.

No swap or zram.

Most init scripts are in obsolete /etc/init.d format.

Major remaining bug: Freedreno won't support EXA. We need an EXPERIENCED kernel CODER (not me) to fix our kernel by PROPERLY backporting KGSL from Kernel 3.0.8 to 2.6.35. I don't see any other solution, because I don't think the person who is workiing on Freedreno wants to backport their driver.

Soon-to-be-added feature: Automount of other OS's filesystems, if they exist, under /mnt.

[Other TouchPad Development] castrwilliam:
My last setup had VLC and gstreamer both configured to use "plug:dmix" so that you could dstill have multiple sounds playing at one time.

A good mixer is "xfce4-mixer". Despite the name, it doesn't pull in too much XFCE bloat.

You can in theory still run PulseAudio as a dmix client but of course you will then have the complexity of multiple independent mixer applications. The best PA mixer is "pavucontrol", not the one in Control Center, because it has both Windows-style per-app volume controls AND global playback and recording controls by source/sink.

[Other TouchPad Development] sp33chy:
Made an account to say thank you.

Wonder if it can be overclocked to 1.8ghz from within Ubuntu. Also rsyslog took up a lot of CPU cycles so I deleted it. udevd takes up a lot of cycles as well but you can't really delete that afaik, but killing it after boot seems to not have much adverse effects, and the tablet runs smoother as a whole afterwards.
[Other TouchPad Development] stdinov:
Thank you for the nice new toy for our tablet! I successfully installed it on a 6GB partition. So far I can report the following things:

Pros:

- more responsive touchscreen than on 12.10

- better working onboard virtual keyboard than on 12.10 - resize, move, pop-up - working great

- very nice multi-touch gestures for scrolling, maximize, minimize and right-click

- I feel it faster and better responding than 12.10 - may be this is becuase of the optimizations in 13.04

Cons:

- volume keys doesn't increase or decrease the audio

- dnsmasq uses a lot of the cpu - need to kill it

- internet access stops after a while, although the Wi-Fi is connected - need to reconnect the wi-fi, can this be related to killing dnsmasq?

- udevd uses a lot of the cpu - need to kill it - I ran "udevadm monitor" and I can see only reports for the battery and something else (not known) on 5 secs refresh basis

- rsyslogd uses a lot of the cpu - need to kill it

- System Settings panel is bigger than the screen - can not resize it

- VLC can not play song after song - resource is not available - I think this is reported already

- no swap partition

If anyone else experience this you can report it, I think this will be useful for further optimiziations and fixes.

Also is it a good idea to have a repo with the kernel and distro, so we can make/sync/test changes?

@jshafer817,

Sorry for the lame question, but do you use an already compiled distro, or you compile it on your own?
[Other TouchPad Development] Vistaus:
I have a problem. WiFi worked correctly after the very first boot but every boot now it just connects to my WiFi network but doesn't actually establish a connection. My WiFi is working fine though on webOS and my laptop with Ubuntu (all on the very same network). I tried removing it from network manager and connecting all fresh again but it still doesn't give me a connection.

Anyone has an idea on how to fix it?

For System Settings, that's not a problem from this port at all. On the desktop it's also non-resizable.

Touch was always working as it turned out.. Just problems with permissions and udev with 3.0.8??? Got me.. I started it inside of the user session like I do everything.. This kernel has ADB working.. Kind of neat.. Used that to get wifi working. Bugged JCScullins and he directed me to a wireless-compat that he patched with 1 line and got it compiling for me.

I have now recreted the rfkill and maybe that will give us bluetooth.. it is not showing in /sys/user-hw/pins or something like that.. I have a better understanding of bluetooth.

So im just asking ubuntu tablet ui what you think

:confused:
[Other TouchPad Development] jshafer817:
Well.. the point in this is to get it to where we can run FreeDreno.. With 2.6.35 we have to backport KGSL which seems to bring on random reboots.. That leaves the freedreno kernel itself.. If we can use that.. Then we will be fully ready to keep using FreeDreno as rob clark releases updates.. Then we will be ready for the Unity that will come out in 13.04.. but is not really in Ubuntu..

Hell.. I haven't tried to run Unity.. just trying to get bluetooth working. we need board-tenderloin-rfkill.c to be done.. Trying that now.

So the short answer is... It's just Ubuntu.. The UI.. Well.. It's okay.. There are some things I am learning by accident. For instance I didnt know you could just press and hold and move around menus for the longest time.
