Thank you so much!

I know i am a noob, but then my final question is.. After doing all the stuff in you'r tutorial regarding rooting my phone will i then be able to get my phone to USB mass storage and find my internal sd card on my phone on "my computer" in my recovery program?
[HTC One X+] Lucky Thirteen:
Honestly, there is no chance you recover your photos. Sorry.

By unlocking your bootloader your phone will be completely erased, from A to Z. Your phone should have been rooted before the "issue" to have a slight chance of recovering. Those MTP devices are a PITA when it comes to recover lost DATA.

MTP on Wikipedia

It is important to sync this kind of device with a cloud service to cover any chance of losing precious DATA like Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.
[HTC One X+] mike.mille:
You can recover photos lost after factory reset, but you need to use special android data recovery tool, here's a good guide:

how to recover data from android phone after factory reset

hope this helps.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiploo35:
hi

I'm writing for the first time although I've been visiting the forum for couple of weeks as I'm facing a problem with my samsung SGH-I897.

PROBLEM HISTORY

it was a present to me which was already rooted and loaded with ICS rom (I can't remember the version, kernel, baseband or build no). 2 weeks back, I tried to upgrade the phone with JB Slim custom rom (www.android.gs/update-galaxy-captivate-i897-jelly-bean-slim/) but stuck with AT&T bootlogo. I tried to go back to ICS again but accidentally did something wrong in CWM recovery (don't know the version) for which CWM went back to original 3e version.

Since then I couldn't load any rom (by CWM or Odin) bcos there was error in CWM saying failed to mount /dbdata... etc. 2 days ago I found a fix for that in blog.kalpetros.com/2012/04/how-to-fix-cant-mount-dbdata-error-sgs.html

Then I loaded GB rom 2.3.5 , baseband I897UCKJ1 , kernel 2.6.35.7-I897UCKJ1-CL614489 . But my CWM is still 3e.

THE PROBLEM NOW

1) I am trying to update the captivate but every time I try to update I get this:

-- Install /sdcard ...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

I've tried Lanight, Slim Rom (again) but no use. what should I do?

2) Maybe there is a kernel issue (it says here xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1874327 ). So to flash new kernel I followed the instruction from androidprof.blogspot.com/2013/02/upgrading-rooting-and-then-installing.html?goback=%2Egde_86481_member_213543419 and xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1350266 but Odin hangs at midpoint and the captivate becomes softbricked. Then again I have to load the GB. is the odin defective? (I used odin 1.85 & odin3)

3) I tried to load GB I897UCKK4 by one click odin installer but it hanged everytime. why?

thanx in advance :)

From your signature, you have a GT-I9070, which is a different device. This section is for the Captivate.

Did ya take a look at this Captivate - PC Connection Issues thread ?? ...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33227541

And u could flash the .tar file of KK4 Corn Kernel instead of the Speedmod kernel...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18233847
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiploo35:
odin hangs

thank you 4-2ndtwin,

I think the pc connection is ok bcos I can flash the GB 2.3.5 I897UCKJ1 ROM by odin 3. (infact it's the only ROM I can flash)

And Odin cannot flash the kk4 kernel, it hangs at midpoint.

SO FAR HERE GOES THE SUMMERY

I can only flash the above mentioned ROM. No other ROM, kernel, CWM recovery can't be loaded by Odin 1.85 or 3.

Same goes for flashing through recovery mode. there's always signature verification failure error (see 1st post)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laughingT:
bad usb driver, connector or cable can cause intermittent fail like that, mid flash, even though it looks okay when you start. also, have you tried redownloading your sources? signature verification can mean failed md5 checksum= corrupt source file.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x0ne215:
Out of curiosity, did you accidentally enable the signature verification in speedmod? I did that yesterday while installing Captivating and it'll throw the signature verification error lol. Just click it again in CWM and you should be able to get passed the signature verification.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiploo35:
I don't know, if it's bad usb driver, connector or cable how come they always give trouble during flashing everything except I897uckj1 rom?

and, I'll try redownloading the sources (have to browse the history) :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiploo35:
nope

there's no such option in my cwm. the cwm is 3e and very limited. it has only 4 option... reboot, update from zip, wipe factory data, wipe cache.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x0ne215:
CWM and 3e recovery are 2 different things. CWM is a CUSTOM recovery, 3e is the stock recovery. It sounds like you're still on stock recovery.

Have you tried using ADB to push a CWM recovery.img to the device? There should be some tutorials or posts on other threads here about doing it. I had to do that for my Pantech Crossover.

Once you do that, you can flash a ROM no problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiploo35:
ok thanx, this ADB thing is sounds complicated to me. but I'll learn it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiploo35:

[HTC Droid DNA] nived09:
I'm not sure if all of these have been addressed or have a direct answer, but I just wanted to compile everything into

a concise post that I can refer to.

I SHOULD be getting my DNA in the mail today and it SHOULD be fresh out of the box and I am basing the questions off

of that.

Reason for rooting is mainly for the wifi tether app, since I have unlimited data and rather use that then pay for actual service.

1.) Since it should be fresh out of the box are the chances of it being unupdated likely? If so this means I can root it, correct?

2.) I'm pretty new in the rooting field, having only recently rooted my thunderbolt. How comparable will the process be to that?

I had to backdate the software or firmware to be able to do so and am hoping since this is new it wont require that.

3.) I haven't messed with roms too much and was looking at the ViperDNA rom, what would the perks of doing this be? Cons?

I may have future questions later, but this is all I can think of atm.

Thanks ahead of time!
[HTC Droid DNA] slimc84:
I can almost guarantee you that the OTA will be installed on it and you will not be able to do anything with it until an exploit is found.

The root and S-off process is very easy if you are on the old firmware.
[HTC Droid DNA] nived09:
Crap, really? It's the same, power on + vol down process correct?

Even booting up the phone, this is talking if the OEM isn't updated, won't auto start the update, will it?
[HTC Droid DNA] kaliblazin707:
Nope. Well ya but you can decline it.
[HTC Droid DNA] nived09:
Well I'm hoping that it will be this way. Should definitely be getting it today and will check it out.

If I can't even root it, I don't know if I will even be activating it.
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
Boot it up without the sim in it. Let us know, as of last week I would have told you that it's probably not updated. But its been a few days since I've known anyone that got one new in the box.

If it's not updated and you would like me to help you pull and supercid and unlock just send me a pm. If you get offered the update you will want to defer it like 5 days I think is the most it allows.
[HTC Droid DNA] kaliblazin707:
Got a few -new in box cause I convinced a few retarded reps referbs were the issue- from Verizon n one from amazon. All 2.04 :(
[HTC Droid DNA] nived09:
Yea, I just got it an hour or so ago and booted right into the loader and asked in the IRC and I guess the OTA

was already accepted, so I'm sol for a bit.

Not even going to bother activating it, since I mainly use root for tethering.
[HTC Droid DNA] FynxSyndct:
I picked up the DNA in San Diego from BB for an upgrade on Verizon. It came with Software 1.15.605.4 710RD. I've s-off'd, root'd & TWRP'd with ease. Now I just need CM10.1 and I'll be happy.

I might fly to France and b-slap the CEO of the company who put the DCMA in.

[Android Apps and Games] TheWall279:
Hey all,

I wanted to let everyone here know about an application I wrote a while back. I actually completely forgot about the application until earlier today when I flashed a new ROM onto my phone. I'm all about cyanogen which is why i never have to use this application but recently I wanted to try a Sense based ROM on my Evo 4G LTE. The issue i had was immediately after flashing the ROM (that will remain anonymous) none of my ads were working.

Long story short it's because of a modified hosts file in the OS (Which I had no idea would come with the ROM). Now, although this is an open source community, some people here prefer to block advertisements. I believe it is wrong and it completely goes against anything that we, as an open source community, stand for. It is ok and it is our choice to run these ad blocks or not but a lot of people must be using these ROMS with a modified hosts file without even knowing. What a lot of people don't realize is that the ads help keep things free. It helps pay for servers costs, etc.

I want to make something very clear. I do not have a problem with people blocking advertisements. I do have a problem with very popular ROM developers mass producing and giving other people roms that are pre packaged to block advertisements. They dont even inform the user that it will block ads. The fact that it is blocking advertisements is ok but the fact that it is blocking ads by default without checking that the user supports such a decision is wrong.

Anyways, I'm not here to preach, I am here to give people the option to remove these ad blockers.

If you want to support the open source community check out this very simple application called 'Ad Block Remover':

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.av1rus.adblockremover

This application allows you to make a copy of your current hosts file and also restore it if you have an issue.

If you make a copy you can search it to see if you have popular ad blocks like admob or adsense. If you do you can either remove only the lines you choose or you can return it back to stock where it will not block any advertisements.

Let me know what you guys think...

Also, you guys are free to use this application however you please. You can even use it to transfer a hosts file from one rom to another or restore a hosts file to block advertisements.

Lastly, let me clarify one more time. I really do not care who blocks the ads... Just give an option.

Not sure what you mean cause review is up above :) I was thinking about making a short video, but after seeing all those pro videos with back mirrors done by Dios already, I figured I will leave it up to professionals. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Btw, inside of the case there is a label with dimensions and weight; I took a close up of it.

Also, I just sent a link to this review to DioSystems and ask them again if they can let us know about availability and pricing. It would be a shame if this not going to see a light of the day. Btw, I came across yesterday either a video or a site (in German? maybe?) where they took apart this controller to analyze it. Forgot to bookmark it and can't find it anymore. If anybody comes across it, please post a link here. Btw, I left a second post as place holder for any additional video links, pictures, other info. Just don't want to clutter original post with updates.

Oddly enough, from the mobile version of XDA I couldn't see your review. From my desktop it shows up fine. Weird.

Anyway, have you tried any landscape mode games?
[General Accessories] vectron:
Indeed strange, maybe it was taking too long to load all the pictures or something?

I actually don't have too many games on my N2, keeping it lean since I use it for work a lot. But planning to install some soon. My kids play temple run all the time, so will have to install that one. I'm pretty sure it will work with either portrait or landscape mode games.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Dio System got back to me that a price should be around $40-$45 and they are still working on distribution channels.

Personally, I would prefer for this to have stand alone option of enclosed touch-pad with buttons inside some slim self-adhesive case (use a good self adhesion like Bunker Ring stuff), and have shielded ribbon cable attaching to the micro-usb port externally. This way you can use it with most of the phones and different cases. That would have been cool!!!

The E975 international version only supports 900/2100MHz 3G and LTE 800 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 bands.

Looks like you need to either change to another network which is supported by your phone LTE band.

I have yet to hear of 850Mhz LTE band.

thing is i have F180L converted to E975 dont know if there is issue by software or phone itself..

Ace 2 internal memory have read up to 30MB/s so :

http://m.mymemory.co.uk/product?p=41391 that card is ok, have also up to 30MB/s and is cheap.

That card is the best and we dont need faster :

http://m.mymemory.co.uk/product?p=41591

She have up to 95MB/s read.

I have both and on first card I dont have lags in games but on that secund card loading times in games are impressive.

When you do a swap remember about minimum 30MB/s read in card which you want buy. Capacity of storage is your choice and it dont have meaning on speed of that card.

What card do you have guys?

(I sorry for mistakes in text but my english is weak)
[Galaxy Ace II General] Rox:
But why do you need that strong cards, r/w speed is just when you are transfering some files (also speed can depend on usb port or card reader), i personally have class 4 card and dont need any better. I didn't experience lag in games or something like that.
[Galaxy Ace II General] michal89chz:
Odp: Memory cards for Ace 2

On class 4 I cant play in vice city on full details ( on class 10 I can) A lot of games have lags on class 4. Games like : Amazing spiderman, gta vice city, gangstar 3, etc... and other wheare is a lot of data transfering and is open world.

Simply turn on vice city on FULL setings and you get a big lags ( freez on 2,3 secunds ) This is only on class 4, too much data dump because that card cant hendle it ( IF YOU HAVE SWAP )

Few days ago i downloaded gta vice city and on full details i have around 25fps (aprox.)

Me not. Only on 10 class. My system is sloooow on class 4 to slow writing in some pleace.

You can check it. Instal gta 3 on internal memory and turn it on on full details ( lights, better tekstures etc...) and you dont get lags but then do that same on class 4... (you get lags,litle but lags)

Amazing spiderman - is not playable on class 4 (JB/GB) but with good class 10 and JB you can play it on medium settings. Not allways people need that but I have from people ~10 questions about it on xda on each day so I write my opinion here.I write it from my experiance.

I've noticed that since flashing any custom ROM either AOSP/AOKP or TW that my data usage reporting goes wacky and doesn't report correctly.

It shows the total usage but doesn't break it down by per app statistics. I've searched and havent found anyone else with this problem. I'm also running Lean kernel 2.1 with the ROM.

If anyone can direct me to a fix or an app that does something similar that would be great. I don't need anything fancy, just the basic reporting.
