Root your u8860 and edit the recovery.img. Your device will not be able to boot up. Put the gingerbread rom into your sdcard and then flash it with the three button trick

It is very risky and i dont recommend you to try it

Although i did it accidentally for my device
[General Questions and Answers] 10cheesecakes:
Hey. I was wondering if changing an app name would help bypass certain other apps that look for and block said apps. Its mainly to bypass gamevil games and most other games that force you to connect to the net so they can check for these apps. Im assuming they mainly check for the app name and anything else as an identifier, so if I was able to change these it should in theory work as a work around yes? Any other ideas are also welcome so please don't hesitate to add anything insightful and meaningful. Thank you in advance. :fingers-crossed:

I just got a tiny amount of water on my GNex and it's acting like it's fried. It indicated that it was charging while not connected. I rebooted and it went in to a bootloop. !?!?!?!?!? This is so frustrating!

Any ideas on a US carrier/phone that's great right now?

---------------------------------------

UPDATED: I looked on ifixit and figured out how to totally disassemble the phone. I then got my wife's hair drier, set it to the cold setting and dried it for ~20 minutes. Afterwards it booted up fine, and seems to be fully functional. The camera got some water in it, and looks foggy, but hopefully that will clear up with time.

Thanks for your help everyone!

Your Phone is Bricked

I will use ODIN.

Download stock firmware for ur phone...and dumping it use odin.

Root.

Start from the begining.......its need many works...trying n try...new rom....ur phone bricked n start from the begining..... again..

Happen to me mny times.....

send from xperia neo v ics...trying to install edt2kernel.1400.oc.zip without custom rom n bootloop in again....

HEY....DON FORGET DO nandroid backup...so u can restore ur stock firmware n skip to install custom rom....much easier.

let me know if i give wrong statement here..i still noob...and not samsung user...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b*cK:
i had this too but without a water accident.

it always switched the "charging" state. maybe your micro usb connector got damaged like in my case.

but maybe you have other damages too because of your bootloop. try flashing the stock android over odin and if the problem(s) persist you'll need to send it to repair or repair it by yourself. usb connectors are cheap in ebay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
When this happens the best thing to do is immediately remove the door, battery, sim, etc and place them all in dry rice for 24 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Saintfyre:
I'm pretty sure you don't want to use ODIN as this isn't an official Samsung device or something and other, have seen nothing but broken hearts after an ODIN flash.

I had this issue, mine was from getting spray bottle happy when putting on a screen protector. I removed the battery and put the phone in a Ziploc bag full of Rice for 24 hours, has worked perfectly fine ever since.

This method works great and saved both my wife's and my brother's phone. My brother dropped the phone into a lake while fishing, it took us about 30 minutes to find it (about 12 feet deep) and by then it was thoroughly soaked. Not really thinking it would work we left it in rice for a week (you could see water sloshing around beneath the screen) . To our surprise it worked perfectly without any problems when we booted it up and it kept working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Wow, that is really cool. I knew dry rice works well for some water exposure but coming back after being fully submerged for half an hour is next level.:good:

The 3rd and 4th photos are from Gemini App Manager. You start the app, hit Menu -> More -> Expert Mode.

I updated from 1.0.1..just realized the update file was 1.1.0 to 1.1.1 Guess I should install the full 1.1.0, then update to 1.1.1, agree?
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Yep.
[HTC Droid DNA] Snowdog2324:

You don't need to reflash the boot.img as long as your using the same kernel.

[Transformer TF300T General] sbdags:
Yes my ROM supports this with a special kernel I include. Stock android doesn't support this fumctionality so you will have to unlock to get it

CleanRom
[Transformer TF300T General] o0o.paw:
The rom is CleanROM Inheritance (msd24200 beat me to it)... It really is an amazing rom. If you read the comments you'll notice there is no one that has anything but praise for the rom. Sbdags is the developer & one of the most helpful ones I've come across (I do have to say that most of the developers in the TF300T forum are very helpful).

I'll have to give this a go my pc has a usb DVD burner... now all I need is a Android App to rip DVD's an app to encode and an app to run a usb tv tuner, then a steam client for Android and I can ditch the PC :eek:

I forgot to add that the keyboard dock is definitely worth getting. You'll find you use the tablet more once you get the dock.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EwOkie:
Ok firstly the link you put up isnt found...

Use ODIN with PIT File

PIT File Incase you need it : LINK

Open Odin and select 512 .PIT, and CSC, PDA, MODEM-files. Check Re-partition and don't touch any other settings.

Turn off your phone and put it in download mode by holding VOL DOWN+MENU+POWER.

Then just flash the phone with your ROM of choice.

Any issues let me know
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rash732:
Want to know

I want to know one thing Mate when i use PIT FILE and CSC , PDA , MODEM files after done it,should flash it again with any other stock rom of s i9000 ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EwOkie:
When you have all the files needed in ODIN, say JVU Rom click Start let it Run

Once complete you will see S logo on phone

Unplug Phone > Let it power up then Power Off > Again into Download mode

Then plug in Phone

Click Reset on ODIN then in PDA put in CF-Root Kernel File for JVU to be Rooted (CF-ROOT HERE)

Same again when you see S Logo on Phone unplug Cable

Close ODIN

What I do now is go into

Settings > SD Card and Storage > Unmount SD and Wipe that and then at the bottom Wipe Format USB Storage

Enable USB Debugging > Plug in Phone copy over your ROM

Reboot into Recovery (Vol UP - Menu - Power)

Wipe the 4 things (probably know these... you should do)

Install ROM from Zip Card

Reboot Phone when complete... DONE! :D

Hope this helps you or SEE HERE COMPLETE WALKTHROUGH

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EwOkie:
So you want stock 2.3.6 GB Rom am I right?

If so then do the following HERE except the Root if you wish

If you want to upgrade to a later firmware (For example JW6 - If it has only one .tar file),

Go to Download Mode again select the file under PDA.

DO NOT select the PIT, BOOTLOADER, PHONE, CSC files.

DO NOT check 'Re-Partition'.

Press the START button.

Hope this post helped you

I'm currently playing with Mazout's CM10 rom for G2x/p999

i found an aperture science boot animation i want to use, but i want to put sound with it.

not the original sound you might see out there, i want to put a song. I understand it probably needs to be .ogg format, which is something i can do.. but how do i set up the phone?

Is it possible?

If so, where do i put the sound?

Do i need to tweak something to make it play?

there is a bootanimations thread in the app/theme threads, i remember the information on how to do it is there.

"my mind draws lots of blanks actually"
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Eve_brea:
1. Download the "bootsnd.sh" file and put it on the root of your sd card. ( It is the file right below step 3)

2. Download the "android_audio.mp3"(or you can get a .MP3 and rename it) file and using root explorer copy it to /system/media

3. Open Terminal Emulator and type the following commands. Press enter after each line:

su

cd /sdcard

sh bootsnd.sh

reboot

But when I reboot, it'll start it, but then when I want to watch another, it will just keep loading. I can still load up the Internet and the xda app but I can't watch videos.

Edit: So it's not that it won't load videos, it just takes a long time. I believe it's just not receiving LTE like is has before.
