Flashing Roms

Hi, its my first time posting on XDA developers. I just rooted my Samsung galaxy Discover SGH-S730M and install clockworkmod recovery so I got this rom from online and by flashing it I would get google now on my ICS. I used ROM Manager app on android to start the process but then it says my sdcard isn't mounted. " Error mounting /sdcard! ". Please help me as I want to get Google Now on my ICS. Thanks, everything else from your tutorials worked perfectly just the sd card mounting problem. I have tried mounting from recovery menu but dosent work.

Thanks,

Gurinder Hans

Formatted /system

Hi there, I really messed up. Accidentally formatted /system from Clockworkmod recovery and my who OS is gone so phone wont boot. I cant access my internal SD Card and don't have an external SD Card. can you please help me get this fixed. I heard the solution is to flash another rom but I cant because computer wont detect internal SD Card and I don't have external SD Card.

Also if anyone can find the stock 4.04 or any original Android ROM it would be better.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!

Thanks,

Gurinder Hans

Adb sideload might work. I am unsure if you need a sd card for that. But there are guides around for Adb sideload. Use Google or search around the xda forums

Hi there, it tried loading a rom using odin. the only method I can use to flash roms but everytime it gets stuck at a file called "amss.bin" and never does anything.

When I unplug it says failed(1) and else and now when I try to boot the phone I get message "firware upgrade encountered an error, please use kies and .... else". I installed kies but it wont even detect the phone but my pc does detect phone but still the sdcard doesn't show up.

ALso if anyone has the original stock rom for SGH-S730M android 4.04 ICS can you please please please send it to me. Also the only way I can flash roms is to use odin so can it be .md5 or .tar?

Whats going on now :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gurinderhans:
Well I started using sideload and it seemed to work and then I found this method to use memory as sdcard "adb shell mount -t tmpfs none /sdcard" and tried to flash various roms. Most didnt work but one did get flashed. However when i tried to start the phone after flashing the rom it would just show samsung logo and shutdown. No more download mode or recovery mode. It also wouldn't vibrate like it did before when i boot it up. So i then took it to repair shops and they weren't able to do much either. So im just abandoning the phone now and getting a Nexus 4 soon.

Anyways thanks for asking.

Custom ROM Building

I am receiving the Tracfone (USA) variant of the Discover (730G) today. I have the source and kernel source downloaded and I'm ready to give a custom ROM a go for this phone. This is the first one I have ever attempted, but I have been doing quite a bit of reading up on how it all works, what is required, and I have a build environment ready to get it going.

That being said, I am a noob at ROM building, and I don't know (if I get a working ROM built) if it will work for the 730M or just my variant. I'll post about the progress as it comes along. Keep in mind I have 2 toddlers and I am a stay-at-home-parent, so my time with it is not always unlimited. But I'll do what I can. I'm also going to look at the work done so far on the 730M and see if it's possible to run the same software on both phones as this would make it easier to build a ROM that everyone can use.

SGH-S730M files

CWM backup of system and boot image for SGH-S730M: SGH-S730MVLALJ7.zip

This backup is completely stock, except rooted using poot which installs \system\xbin\su.

CWM recovery for SGH-S730M: SGH-730M-CWM-recovery.zip

Stock recovery for SGH-S730M: SGH-730M-stock-recovery.zip

Recovery can be installed by copying recovery.img to sdcard and then issuing this command from terminal emulator or adb shell:

su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12

Must be rooted to use dd command.

Hi I did try this file and guess what my cell is gone its just black screen now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TheGeekyNimrod:
A few things I have found so far:

The triangle away app worked for the 730G variant of the Discover. You can buy it from the market or use the free version available in the forums.

Xposed framework is compatible. I've used XBlast and Xposed Additions so far. Center clock mod and statusbar icon coloring. Was able to get the back to kill mod working through Xposed Additions. Also used the extended power menu in Xblast. Now have reboot, fastboot, recovery, download, hot boot, and screenshot available in the power menu.

I have not deodexed my stock rom yet which would allow other theming tools to work with this phone. It's a start though for theming work based on the rooted stock rom for the device. After I deodex I'm going to try to make a 1% battery mod and impliment custom icons (wifi, signal bars, etc) for status bar mods.

I'll post more mods as I discover them.

Usual disclaimer about screwing up your device by playing with these tools without proper research applies.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MrSnowdenJr:
hey

well i did what you said. but i think i sent it to wrong file then reboot and now its black screen wont turn it on at all i tried everytihg else nothing work.. so i have to take it to store and fix it
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TheGeekyNimrod:
Sent what to the wrong file? And what variant of the phone are you using? That's why there is a disclaimer about using tools without doing some good research first. Somewhere in this thread (if you are using the 730m) there is a backup image you can flash through odin to recover.

EDIT: Just saw an earlier post from you where you used the triangle away script thatbwas posted. I used something completely different than that. If you can boot into download mode through adb you can odin the stock firmware back to recover. Other than that, I don't know.

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

[/COLOR]

What did you use to deodex the files? I have beeb trying to use xUltimate but with no luck. Titanium Backup only does the system apps, not the framework. I would like to do both to play with more theming work.

Other note: My 3rd i777 broke which is why I now have the Discover. I miss my S2 something fierce!

Use dsixda kitchen to deodex.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TheGeekyNimrod:
That was going to be my next move. Something I need to learn anyway. I'm assuming I would have to add this device to the supported devices as I don't think it is right now?

I really want to get something going for this device and I'm sure it would be easier to build for than my previous i777 was. If nothing else a good deodexed, debloated, and slightly themed stock+rooted rom.

It works out of the box, but need a couple tweaks to the updater-script and a newer update-binary to work with our cwm recovery. I'll post an example when I have some time.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TheGeekyNimrod:
That would be much appreciated. I bookmarked a few threads about it and got it downloaded. No chance to set it up though. Had to give the computer up to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Darn kids ;)

Sent from my SGH-S730G
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cschmitt:
Here's the update-binary and updater-script that I use. The update-binary is newer than what's in kitchen and works with cwm for the 730. Main difference in updater-script is the format and mount command parameters for /system and the bit that flashes the boot image (using dd command instead of write_raw_image).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TheGeekyNimrod:
Okay, this may be a dumb question. I am still quite the noob at rom building. Most of my knowledge is in theming, but I am learning a lot right now and learning more everyday. Do I need to place these files in the tools folder of the kitchen, or would it work to place them in the META-INF folder prior to building?

I searched multiple threads but got conflicting answers and a lot of the threads were device specific.

My plan is to take the stock rom backup, deodex, debloat, zipalign, add a few themed items, and replace the stock kernel with the rooted one so it has root permission.

I appreciate your help so far. This is the first time I have decided to dive into rom cooking. Figured using a device like this was a good place to start. Then when I upgrade I will have gained a good bit of knowledge.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cschmitt:
Place the files in meta-inf of the rom 'working' folder prior to building.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TheGeekyNimrod:
Awesome. That's what I was thinking. I have the 730G version but I'm guessing the files will work just the same. I'm hoping once I get something satisfactory working for this version off the phone I can then make it compatible with the 730M version.

Main difference (I think) lies in the stuff that deals with mobile data and signals. But I'll worry about that when I get there.

Or maybe I'll make the rom available to download and let someone else work on making it work for the 730M.

Thank you again for all your guidance. Tomorrow, I start building.

WishbI could help you out with that. Without the device being able to turn on there isn't much to be done. Odin can be tricky to use. I almost bricked an S2 with Odin one time.

This week sometime I will be creating a thread specifically for those with the 730G (Tracfone) version of the Discover. Root method, a few tips and tricks will also be included.

I have started work on a custom rom based off the stock rom (building from source or building CM is beyond me at this point) for the 730G. And will post it when it is stable and has been thoroughly tested.

SCH-R740C Issues

Just wondering if anyone's ever found the stock recovery for this beast? I stupidly pushed another recovery to it, and now it only comes up to the Cricket logo screen on standard boot, and to the triangle screen trying to go into recovery....

I would imagine that Odining the stock recovery is about a 10-second process... but there it is...

My coding chops are about 20 years out of date, but I've downloaded the source from Samsung's opensource repository, and compiling the kernel and the platform are pretty straightforward, once I get the SDK back on my laptop. Can make tarballs from within the tools, of course. Don't know enough about it to know whether recovery is one of the modules.

At the moment, I'm just stuck... can anyone point me in a more appropriate or active direction?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DuceTheTruth:
As of two days ago my phone just stops after the Samsung Triangle screen....just blank after that...

Everything was fine, the battery was low and I plugged it up to charge it...normal everyday procedure....and then about 4-5 hours later I wake up to see the screen stuck.....I end up pulling the battery and upon rebooting came my problem...

I did the Odin tar md5 thing to no avail thinking that might do something.

So since this is dead...

I understand the OP had to drop this project but is there anyone who's picking it up? wants to pick it up? maybe we can pool the information in a new thread? I got 2 of these units that I bought for travels and I thought I would be able to get them unlocked very much like I've unlocked S2, S3 and pretty much most androids. From the available threads, it turns out there's no unlocking possible for this phone. Stock roms are limited to 2 i think in the posts in previous pages...

I have a unit that's already out of my hands unfortunately but do have a competent handler if anything is required from that phone (files, dumps, etc)

and the second one I've just rooted successfully with unlockroot, still on stock recovery.

What I'd like to do is have custom recovery, sim unlocking and make these as light as possible (bloatware) I really only need these units for travel so I'll really just need something uber basic with gps nav loaded. it's the unlocking that's been driving me nuts specially because I'm not very trusting of websites who do sell this and it's something I'd rather do myself... I'm perfectly literate and can help out if someone's interested in reviving this and sure hope OP's doing well and thank him and a few of the guys i've seen in posts across this thread :D

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] doctor_evil:
you might want to look into this on ebay it's not a unlocking service, they are selling you the software and instructions so you can do it yourself. I think the software would work for other samsung phones too so it might be a good investment.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] x1745:
I agreed with you - For those who want to charge people for asking for help - this is not the place to advertise your AD.

So many of them are scam - they all advertise unlock free then when you get to their web site then they start charging.

I hard bricked my S730M for good due to install triangle. The only way to get this work again they have to upload the firmware by special programmer. this box cost $125 from China. this need to solder three wires onto the programmer and upload from there. you can even unlock the phone with this box.

Is not feasible to purchase the box unless you own the phone repair shop.

I find that this model the Carrier don't want us to unlock so they hidden the code on different memory location.

If someone know how to hack this phone would be nice to help out lots of people.

All phone carrier want to charge $30-$50 for unlock. That they put it in there first place.

So I just bought another one to test this out.

I able to rooted the phone and unroot.

The problem after rooted you need to know where are this lock code hidden.

I tried from Unlock-Code-Republic.com and they took 2 days and charged for $6.29 and came back with no luck of unlocking.

At the end they refund it.

This phone is very tricky with the Samsung drivers.

First I use Samsung website USB drivers the Kies not able to detect the phone.

After I found one company Furious global support to unlock by USB cable. they will charge for unlock your phone.

The software required to buy credit in order to unlock.

I download their SRC software and they included with USB drivers I able to see more memory information from the phone.

Now I am looking to see if anyone would share the SIM lock memory location.

I think in order to search for this memory location in the phone you need root access.

May be you have to change folder permission to unhide this folders.

The NV_Bin is good if you have galaxy GIO model you can unlock it with few steps.

He needs to remote USB unlock your phone.

Just hook up the phone and setup your laptop ready for him then email him when you ready.

No more headache how to unlock it yourself.

If you interested just reply and I will let you know the web site. I hate to post the other people web site due to some people think I advertise.

He only unlock phone from 2-6PM EST time.

it took 5-10 minutes then you done.

I tested with three other carrier SIM all working fine.

Good luck guy. I don't know him but I found him on Google search.

After tried with three unlock web sites that failing to unlock this phone or some want $55 for unlock.

One web site tried for two days and came back with no luck and reimburse money on the Paypal.

This person is 100 percent guaranty no charge if he can not unlock your code.

I paid by Paypal instead of some other web site want credit card.
