i think something wrong in your rom.

because when you copy gapps meta-inf.its okay you successfully installed your rom.

but now your rom won't boot meaning something wrong in rom.if you have wildfire s 2012 model you need to flash kernel after rom.

now you can try other roms.jelly king,speed droid they are great cm10 roms and very stable.

or atlast you can restore your stock backup.
[HTC Wildfire S] aras123:
hi, i was the initial poster of the thread. The wildfire s had some system updates couple of months ago, which i have not been able to update. I also do not have google play on my phone only android market. As far as i am aware i need to update the system to be able to install it. my system is a510e 2.3.3. thankyou.
[HTC Wildfire S] crossfire77:
Oh thats okay...you need to update 2.3.5 to get play store update.

Where are you from? You need your ruu to unroot your phone.

Or

I have made stock roms(2.3.5) on latest ruu..you can flash it too.
[HTC Wildfire S] aras123:
hi, i am from london, uk.

i did not root the phone myself, it was rooted when i bought it. Please can u give me step by step instructions how i can update to 2.3,5? what are stock roms and what do you mean by flash. (i am sorry i am a complete amature!!)
[HTC Wildfire S] crossfire77:
If your phone is rooted its good.

Now if cwm recovery isn't installed.

Go to play store nd download rom manager,

Then install clockworkmod recovery from it.

Then go to the recovery(remove battery,hold volume down+power and then select recovery)

Now take a backup of your rom(you cn see backup option)

Then if you want stock( stock meaning company rom which is made by htc,android version:2.3.5)

I made stock rom zips from latest european ruu.

Then download it.

Now put it in sdcard.

After completing backup,

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe cache

Go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache

(Do twice this fr sure)

Then go to install from sdcard

Nd select file of rom and then it ll installed then reboot..

2.3.5 installed

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] van_vugt:
Gents,

Got a bit of a strange problem. A few weeks ago I flashed resurrection 3.1.3... so far so good. Yesterday I watched some pictures with my friends. Today ALL my pictures and other jpg. images are gone. Just vanished overnight... Not only from my external SD but also from my internal SD. It's unbelievable!!!

The map structure on my external SD is still intact. Mp3, pdf etc. are still there but everything with extension .jpg is gone. Strangest thing is that the image map of WhatsApp on my internal SD is empty as well. Tried to recover the pics on my external SD with DeCuVa (put SD card in card reader) and for some it worked. Unfortunately all the recovery progs don't recognize the internal phone SD because you don't see 2 removable drives like it used to be with earlier versions but you see the phone device.

Does anyone know with which prog I can clone my internal SD so I can try to recover the pics on my internal SD as well. Or maybe another sollution???

thnx a lot!!!

ciao

im having a few problems. the first is finding a good rom that will improve my battery life. the other is getting gas buddy to work on the custom rom. i currently use cm10, cant remember other details than that. also editing apn is necessary since im with straight talks att. my last problem is im not able to access 3g, which is supported by my phone and straight talk. im stuck on the edge mobile data.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinobisoft:
I'm betting baseband is an issue here. The P509 is an old baseband device. The P509 never got an official update from Froyo to GingerBread which would have then made the P509 a new baseband device. But, it's possible also that the APN isn't correctly setup. I can't say since I'm with Simple Mobile on my P509. The P500, which was originally an AT&T device did. The P509 was originally for TMobile. Slightly different operating frequencies possibly. I'm no expert, just my two cents in an attempt to help. :)
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrtylee:
i updated bb in fact my device now says its a p500 under the phone info
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinobisoft:
That's because you installed a P500 ROM, not because you upgraded baseband. "Phone Model" information is read from system/build.prop.

For best battery performance, GB is it. ICS isn't too bad, but worse than GB. JB is even worse than ICS in most cases. As for manually editing your APN's, I have to also, everytime I flash a ROM since I'm with Simple Mobile. I don't know what Gas Buddy is, so I can't help there.

As for your 3G problem, unless your ROM has been setup/instructed to use 2G only, I dunno what to say.

I just installed a new ROM and the SDCARD and SDCard-ext are in the wrong location. They are listed under the root director ( / ) and /storage instead of under /mnt/sdcard
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Does it work? You could create a symlink. If that fixed it, put it in a script on bootup.
[General Questions and Answers] SyCoREAPER:
Does it work is a relative question. (wasn't meant to sound wise-a$$). I can access them, but apps do not see them at all. They are looking for the cards in /mnt therefor not finding them.

I changed them in /system/etc/vold.fstab but now it won't boot. The not booting is not an issue, I can fix that, but I don't know how to fix these incorrect paths/
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
No one else who's using this ROM is having these problems? I say either reflash, create symlinks, or choose another ROM.

[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:

Make a script in your /system/etc/init.d directory, so these links will be created on every boot.
[General Questions and Answers] SyCoREAPER:
From what I have read you cannot use them on FAT.

Why does editing this file not work? I fail to see how Android could do anything other than read the file, provided permissions are the same.
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
The internal memory is not FAT; typically, only the 1st partition on the SD card is FAT, everything else should be EXT. So, executing ln -s /storage /sd-ext should work (or wherever it's currently being mounted).
[General Questions and Answers] SyCoREAPER:
I meant the card but ln is not working.

One more thing I am going to try is an ADB pull and push. If that doesn't work I really need some community support.

[General Questions and Answers] SyCoREAPER:
Mainly speed and compatibility. I need the offline commands only available in JB. Stock ROM is dead slow and is only ICS. Other custom ROMs were also on the slow side and/or battery hogs.
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
So, is this right?

FAT partition is currently being mounted as /storage

EXT partition is currently being mounted as /mnt/sdcard
[General Questions and Answers] SyCoREAPER:
Well the way my phone is laid out is

System (I assume too large so they split it in two which resulted in the below SD-Card)

SD-Card

SD-Card EXT (The actual SD Card) - FAT32

I assume the System and SD-Card are standard Android partition format.
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Do you use a file manager on the phone, such as ES File Explorer? Are you familiar with using adb?

Edit: Basically, I'm trying to figure out the exact path of the mounted partitions, and where they're supposed to be mounted.
[General Questions and Answers] SyCoREAPER:
They are 100% supposed to be mounted under: /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/sdcard-ext

Right now they are mounting to: /storage/sdcard and /storage/sdcard-ext

There is also an entry in under root ( /sdcard and /sdcard-ext --- For these two I am booting into stock ROM to see if they are suppose to be directly in root as well, will post up when I know)
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Check the scripts in your init.d to see if one of them is mounting the sd partitions under /storage.

I suppose you could also try booting without the sd card in place, and see if those /storage directories still exist. Not sure how much that will tell you, though.
[General Questions and Answers] SyCoREAPER:
The init.d for sure says to load sdcards to /storage . (on this particular ROM only)

I will try without the sdcard as you suggested and let you know. Battery died on me, phone won't boot even when plugged in until at least 10%.
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Which script is mounting the sd card to /storage? Is it part of the ROM, or is it something which the dev included in this ROM? I ask in case the ROM expects the sd card to be mounted there.

Regardless, try changing the script to link to /sdcard.
[General Questions and Answers] SyCoREAPER:
You know what I was thinking of the wrong file when you asked about the init.d. I was thinking of vold.fstab.

I will have to let you know. I need to reinstall the ROM, as mentioned before, I crippled the OS when changing vold.fstab.

Once the battery is charged I will reinstall it.
[General Questions and Answers] SyCoREAPER:
What specifically am I looking for? The init.d is empty, except one script but it doesn't contain anything regarding the mount points.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rosco7:
Hey guys this is my first post but I have a galaxy s3 on sprint model l710 that I successfully rooted and flashed a custom ROM to, the phone worked fine and I decided to flash a new rom so I made a backup of the current rom I had (synergyROM) and proceeded to download a new rom that I must of overlooked it to be intended for the international quad core version.

It goes without saying that I messed up and there might not be a fix to my problem but worth a shot!

After I loaded the zip from my CWM menu I selected reboot and now the phone will not turn on at all, not even to downloaded mode!

If anyone has any idea on how to get it to downloaded mode I can take it from there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] porshce2:
If you flashed an international rom on the phone, the phone is hard bricked and there will be no way for you to fix it personally. You can turn it in to Sprint and play dumb saying you downloaded the recent OTA or whatever and that it wouldn't turn back on.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rosco7:
I think your right that might be my only way the funnything is when I did the it the first time I rooted it I put the international rom on there and it would peer cycle but I could enter the download mode and fixed it but this time I didn't have that luxury.

Thank your for the quick response !
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
So you're saying you didn't learn your lesson the first time. :facepalm:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] porshce2:
You're right, I don't think people should do that but people will end up doing it either way. The fact that you've already made this mistake once though... how about you stick to looking in the Sprint section for roms? That way you don't end up downloading this random stuff... OR how about you stop flashing roms entirely?

Read the first post of rom threads in it's entirety. I have yet to see a rom that does not explicitly say which GS3 it is for in the first page.

Hurts me to say this but its game over dude. The international version's misc partition is located in the same place as the boot partition for the Sprint variant, so theres no way that that phone is booting up again

Best bet is to take it into Sprint and play it dumb. Good luck :good:

EDIT: Really dude, twice? I think it goes without saying that once you try something and it doesnt work the first time, that doesnt make it more likely to work the second time.

I have searched for this for a long time and have found nothing on it

when I install anything other than stock I can not connect to wi-fi

it says the signal is great but will not connect to any - tries to connect - says it is obtaining IP address then fails

I have gone back and installed stock modems but still the same thing - I have tried several different ROMS including paranoid and CM

when I go back to stock it works great

any Ideas?

possibly fixed - still testing

typed in *#197328640#

hit menu and chose wi-fi

it brings up the wi-fi info and an off-on button -wi-fi power saver mode - click off and it connected as soon as i did that

not sure why but i will play with it some more - i am running a stock MA5 7105 based rom

pa3 now works - had to go into settings - wi-fi- advance - keep wi-fi on during sleep - turn to never then back to always - it connected right away

its the wi-fi power saver mode that i turned off and it has to be redone at each reboot

now that I have figured out that its a problem with the wi-fi power saving mode - and that it must be reset each reboot - anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

not sure if a script could be ran automaticaly at boot to reset it so that i would not have to go in and do it manually each time

I have no Idea even how to write one

Kernel?

What kernels are you using?

So far Perseus Kernel has been the most reliable and snappiest kernel but will not work with CM10 or AOSP. Perseus and Jedi roms have been great combos. I didn't like the Saber kernel as I had issues with the 5 ghz band, as well as in and out Wi-Fi connectivity.

Today I'm going back to AOSP hoping they've added some features since the unofficial days, combined with the FORCE Kernel.:cowboy:

ALSO: Make sure you fully wipe your device when changing roms. It's not common for most people, but I format every partition when flashing. I have run into way fewer problems with that approach, but make sure you don't accidently reboot your device before flashing. You'll have to odin flash at that point.

I think I know the Answer to your issue!.. Check out the Threads I stared, by clicking on my profile , in the SGS4G Forum..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957920

Or try these two things.

1)If you are using WPS Connection Make sure you are holding Your WPS button for at least ten seconds before releasing it to ensure you "have it scanning Your Devise".. it had been so long for me between stock and custom I "Thought it only took 2 seconds..

2) AND MOST LIKELY YOUR ISSUE.. If you were using a "Password" and entering it forget entering it. The "Password" is no longer "working"

Instead. Click on your Wifi Icon on your laptop or PC. Then Left click Your Wifi Connection. Now Right click Properties. Now CHECK the box under network security key (you will have to be an Administrator to do this) and you will see YOUR WIFI SECURITY KEY ie (aed566fgd1cbi34hjk77i) and input that in as Your Password instead of the "old" Password you had which could have been your dogs name or your first cars name..

Sorry for the lack of technical directions..

Your password (I think) is no longer what you set it as. IT IS as what shows in your WIFI Properties Network Security Key on your Laptop/PC.

Let me know please.
