Re: I bricked my phone..urgent help needed please..

STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU to flash SUPERNEXUS 2.0 it is stable
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirchichamu:
Do you recommend to flash this rom instead of stock rom? But where from download? And how to flash?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Go back to stock first; it will give you a 'clean slate'. Getting your phone working normally/usable should be your only priority/thought at this stage. You can worry about flashing other roms/kernels once you've done that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirchichamu:
Thanks MistahBungle for your help. From where I should download stock rom and how to flash? Further help will be much appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Search Samfirmware for an unbranded one for your country (or a carrier-specific one if you prefer/if there isn't an unbranded one). Guides/tutorials are stickied in the General section (3rd post from the top from memory).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirchichamu:
Thanks a lot MistahBungle and all who supported me...Thanks God I finally reflashed stock ROM which I downloaded from Samfirmware and it is working well.

May I request all those geeks to guide me to root the easiest way. Further I will request you people to tell me the Best ROM which support RTL...Bundle of thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Good man. You're welcome ;) Easy way to root is to flash the Odin version of any custom kernel which works with Android version of the stock rom you're currently running (Siyah & Dorimanx are but two, there are others); read the thread devoted to the particular kernel you want to flash to work out which build you need to use. Once you flash it you'll have a rooted phone with CWM.

'Best rom' threads are not allowed here; once you have CWM installed it's really easy to flash/try a bunch of roms & find one you like, it takes 5 minutes to backup or restore, if you find you don't like a rom you try, it's easy to go back to your previous setup & try another. Generally if you need things that are a 'bit fiddly' to 'just work' without dramas, you're better off sticking with stock. But you can check the threads of various custom roms to see if they support the features you need to use. You could always dual boot if the particular features you want to use only work with stock, yet you like a particular custom rom & want to use it as a daily driver.

[Sony Xperia ZL] myman98:
I'm not the only semi-noob out here. I'm sure not many of us fully understand the consequences of having an XZL that won't let you unlock the bootloader. So...

If you cannot unlock your bootloader, what are the ramifications? Will the number of available custom roms be fewer? Can we have no custom roms at all?

Also, how can you ensure that you get an unlockable phone. I'm in canada, if I order the XZL through Bell, am I 100% certain to get a phone that wont let you unlock the bootloader? Do I have to buy the full thing off contract if i want an unlockable bootloader?
[Sony Xperia ZL] sirsmokey:
even if you buy the phone from bell off contract the bootloader will still be locked

i live in toronto and ordered the zl online and i already have unlocked my bootloader

as for roms there are some that can still work but yes it limits the customization that you can acheive with an unlocked bootloader

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ozfriend:
Hi guys,

since a couple weeks I have a problem with the WIFI connection.

In the WIFI settings, I switch the settings for WIFi sleep policy to "never". But most every hour, when the display is off, the wifi connection breaks down for a around 10 sec. and the Gio tried to reconnect the the Wlan.

I realised that by using "whatsapp". Some messages came with a delay (~1 or 2hour(s))

Its not a whatsapp problem.. I checked the wifi connections on my router. On one day, I have roundabout 20 - 25 wifi connections from my Gio.

(2 other Android phone running very stable on the same router)

i had used the cm 7.2 from phiexz, than I switched to olddroids cm 10.x and now back to CM 7 from MoltenMotherBoard (Nightly 20130318).

Since I switched first time to olddroids rom I have the problems with the wifi :(

what could happened?

thanks for any ideas

oz

(sorry for my english... I´m on training ;) )
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] elroyic:
I have a problem with wifi as well... just my home wifi though when I walk out of range of the wifi it dc's the wifi as normal but when I get back into range my phone refuses to reconnect to wifi until I restart the router. I have tried various roms and this still happens even on the stock rom.

All other phones at home dont have this problem only the Gio.

Anyone have any idea's on what could be the cause or how to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Codename13:
1. Have you updated to the latest Old Droid CM10.1?

2. Did you format your Gio to ext4 before flashing any custom ROMs?

3. What ROM did you use before phiexz cm7.2? (Stock 2.3.x?)

4. And what version of cm7.2 phiexz did you use before flashing to cm10.1 old droid?

Sometimes flashing a custom ROM and then another without properly wiping can leave traces of the previous ROM. They may interfere with the new ROM and cause things to go a little wonky. Also, some ROMs may have wifi issues that have not been fixed. The best thing to do would be to wipe your phone and flash your region's stock ROM. After trying many ROMs, I have found that the least buggy and best ROM is stock (with modifications, of course). Even if you don't want stock ROM, I strongly recommend that you wipe your phone, flash stock, format the phone to ext4, and THEN flash your preferred custom ROM. For good, bugless ROMs, I recommend Maclaw's AOSP ICS, Maclaw's CM9, snowpluralism's S'Periance ROM , voetbalremco's Adrenaline ROM, and many more.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ozfriend:
hi,

thanks for your answer,

yes, I formated the Gio to ext4 before flashing (a lot of ROMs are do it by it self).

Before I had used the stock ROM before I had used the phiexz ROM and a couple of month, everythink was ok.

I flashed back the stock ROM and everythink with the Wifi works fine. No kind of disconnections.

Now I flash to the "Enhanced236 - stock 2.3.6 (06.08.2012 update)" and also to the "CyanogenMod 7 | MoltenMotherBoard (Nightly 20130318)"

(first full wipe, than format the ext4 than flashing the ROM), and on both ROMs are the same kind of WiFi problems. The connection break down for a few seconds and reconnect several times (up to 5 times in an hour!!!).

I have no ideas whats happend and I dont like the stock ROM :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virginwidow:
Hi y'all, somebody gave me a DesireC, it needs "Scrubbed"

Really can't do much other than play with the phone coz it's got that "CarrierIQ" crap in it, never mind my good freinds phone number --

Got it to root and S-off, factory reset it, (her number still there, tried that 3 times) as well as boot screen from her carrier...

I've tried making a gold-card? Learned alot but never succesfully made one. There is uncertaintly in the instructions wether to reverse the HeX string needed for the Gold card. Or Windows won't format the SDcard rightly...

Wouldn't all this be easier using Debian? [Linux]

I just want it bare nekked, no carrier, no number, NO SNITCHWARE (carrierIQ)

Do I NEED the gold-card to make this phone anonymous? If so, please point to the CLEAR instructions :confused:

Thank you kindly sir

My phone is 1st picture

bravoc DVT2 ship S-Off

hboot 0.98.0000

The dern thing won't let me RUU, as it's US Cellular apparently stock as I've tried "Factory Restore" hoping to clear my friends infoz off it

no joy, her number's still in it :eek: I'd be much happier if the phone number was blank, or xxxxxxxxxx (or whatever the default string is for a never activated phone)

Don't have (or see a need for) a carrier for it, coz I've not yet learned wether I can have it activated as a plain CDMA "No Gee" cell phone, If I gots Wifi I don't see a need for even 3g... It's loaded apps OK over WiFi. I'm a bit skittish even using WiFi till I'm sure it's clean with no CIQ

Once I get it's innards wiped (without any snitchware gunk) want to load a clean, battery efficient, more usable ROM (I don't need Fap-Book or Twiddler or games)

will loading a custom ROM remove the US Cellular crap and number?

Thanks in advance

Another bravoc with US Cellular

Hi abaaaabbbb63-

I got a old Desire CDMA (PB99400 Bravoc) with US Cellular. Unfortunately it is S-ON and I want to root it. The deal is that the HBOOT version is 1.09.000 and all the tools I have found are for HBOOT 1.06.000

Do you know if it is possible to downgrade the HBOOT?. My phone looks like Picture 1 in your post.

Any advice will be highly appreciated.

Good day. I had finally installed cyanogenmod through ROM manager and it's working really well. But occasionally, I noticed that my phone would suddenly shut off for absolutely no reason and shows a light blue screen. I would then have to spam the 'off' button and it would turn on back as usual. Is it because I had cyanogenmod installed through ROM manager, or is it compatibility issues? Just to note: I am using the ROM and also CWM which is meant for i717 on my n7005. I had no issues with the rooting and CWM processes so far.

I guess it depends on what you need on a phone, and I do understand you trying to justify keeping the S2 instead of buying a new one, but you cannot deny that the S4 is a lot better than the S2 in almost every single area (things improve quickly in mobile phones hardware, so in about 2 years, a lot has changed).

[Galaxy S 4 General] pewpew345:
Saying S4 is not really different from S2 is like saying a computer based on the 3rd generation Core i7 is not that different from a Pentium D, either plain ignorance or just in denial. Raw specs alone will make many things that require raw processing power possible. A denser display means better experience to the eye, especially for the elderly if they wish to zoom heck in for text. There's just so much you can do with better hardware, just compare how choppy Android even back when S2 was released. S3 and same gen phone is the turning point where Android starts to have a more fulfilling user experience. Now S4, One, Optimus Pro improves it even further and I think this is pretty much a transitional stage where wearable device is going to be the hot item next year instead of a piece of monolithic plastic with giant display slapped onto it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] FinancialWar:

[Galaxy S 4 General] pewpew345:
Yet you still need to tweak it. For people here, yes it might be an easy feat to do, but for many other normal customers ? Out of the box experience might not give us the true potential of a phone but normal customers will be turned off by choppy stock performance. I really hate it when people here only see it from the view point of people who have the know how to tweak their phones.

If humanity has the mentality like this, I doubt we would even see smartphone which has monster spec rivaling that of a notebook which is many times larger and heavier. I doubt humanity itself will progress for the better. Why should I settle for inferior experience when there is something better in front of me ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] 1337RYoN:
So, basically, my 2012 iMac is really no different from the old iMac that used PowerPC processors, just because both can surf the web? Sometimes, these things just need plain raw power. And btw, I would say that the S4 is a good device to upgrade to from a 2011 device.

Sure, my arc s runs fine on Jb 4.2.2 for everyday usage with a couple init.d tweaks and some mods. But the newer phones are just going to be faster and more efficient. You can't argue with that.
