[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamuadamu:
if you could hold on for a second before downgrading - you could test some things for other 9070P owners

could you try to root your device using the i9070(non-P) way, as specified here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2087424 ? and then try to replace /system/lib/tee folder with files coming from s3 mini NFC version? I posted it on my dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/33xwln0d13uhfvq/tee-s3mini.zip - ofc don't forget to set proper permission - in gingerbread they are rw-r--r--

why this? actually replacing /system/lib/tee folder is the way to make custom roms from i9070 and i8160 to work for i9070P and i8160(NFC) respectively. currently we don't have any sources of /system/lib/tee folder from i9070P as no JB rom appeared yet, so "borrowing" it from s3 mini _could_ be some sort of solution

I don't if cwm/twrp backups do include the bootloader, but in case you'd need a "clean" TWRP copy of working gingerbread i9070P rom (no data) - I can provide you with that. maybe that would help better than odin flash
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pstysz:
Maybe, if it's the only one I9070P with JB on the world, I shouldn't touch it at all, just sell it to some museum or smth for a lot of money :p

@adamuadamu

Ok I'll try to do what u said but... well, it looks like some serious action, i'm not sure if I can handle it. It would be much easier if you write me the same thing in polish on priv, then we post here what we get :)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamuadamu:
PM sent in our native language.

waiting eagerly for the results

---

btw. can anybody tell me if there's rw access over adb to /system partition in stock recovery? I remember first frapeti's deodex scripts and they were able to make changes on /system partition within stock recovery. as pstysz wrote he wasn't too proficient on rooting and /system editing stuff, maybe it'd be the easiest way to provide him with a plug-and-play (plug-and-pray ;) ) script.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaizyJumper:
I have copied most of the partitions (small ones, all except cache, system and data) from the phone. GB versions. If you need bootloader or something (except efs) then I can try to create a tar.md5 for you.

I can also give an experimental JB kernel built for i9070p. Never tested of course.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamuadamu:
I'm in touch with the OP through PM.

replacing /system/lib/tee files didn't change anything. still modem says "unknown"

And he's willing to test some more things - any ideas?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaizyJumper:
Try those tee files from sola. See attached.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamuadamu:
I hope the OP follows his thread and will try that one and let us know

the other thing is the system drains the battery in 5-6 hours, as the user reports. can you post your compiled kernel, too? I suspect this may be similar to gingerbread, where i9070 kernels caused excessive battery drain when flashed to 9070P
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pstysz:
dw, I keep an eye on that thread :)

@LaizyJumper

There are files with "test" postfix and normal ones, should I copy them all together?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaizyJumper:
Here it comes.

Just remember that it is never tested. And I have never built kernels for such devices before. :)

If that does not work then I can try to create a downgrade pack for i9070P - GB. Similar to i9070 version.

Edit: removed the attached kernel - it did not boot
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaizyJumper:
I think it does not hurt if you just copy all of them as they are... I don't really know how those files are being handled / loaded.

Edit:

Here is a pack of files similar to I9070 JB > GB downgrade. Those files are taken from I9070P packages and device.

Nothing is tested. Use it at your own risk.https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64321967/I9070P-recovery-files.zip
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pstysz:
Hi, those "tee" files from sola did't change anything, modem is still "Unknown". After changing kernel for i9070P-not_tested-4.1.2-kernel.bin.md5 i cant't even boot my phone :) It goes in a loop, show Samsung logo for a sec and then reboot. The good news is that I still can run odin mode, but recovery doesn't work for now.

edit: oh, and thx for the downgrade pack!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaizyJumper:
Ok. Thanks for trying. At least I know now that kernel does not work. I will remove it from here.

You should be able to recover 9070 Jb kernel using Odin if you want that. But it won't make the phone usable of course.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pstysz:
No problem, too bad that did not work out...

I think that phone is cursed or something... I can't even downgrade it. It hangs on Samsung logo, even though I proceed exactly as in "How to Downgrade JB 4.1.2 to GB 2.3.6" topic. Ofc I used files for I9070P. The worst thing is, that I can't charge battery now, so I don't have much time for experiments. Could you help me for the last time? :(
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaizyJumper:
Have you tried loading an official firmware for your device with Odin?

Firmwares from sammobile.com

Maybe it works after all those steps now. Don't activate repartition option when you load it now!

Btw. does it display I9070 or I9070P when you turn it on? Was it different before the downgrade procedure? I assume that this screen comes from bootloader. And it is important to know which loader is actually present now.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pstysz:
Unfortunately it doesn't help. It shows I9070P but it was like that all the time, even with JB. I think the service fixed bootloader, then saw the flash counter is >1 and send me back the phone because I didn't want to pay for new motherboard (which was the right decision imao). So they left the previous ROM and changed only loader. That's why it worked.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaizyJumper:
I think it's time for you to try that:

hi, im using WM 7.8 deepshining room, I need a guide to change my boot logo and my bootanimation, im not a android user.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] miatawnt2b:
Have a question regarding min CPU speed vs voltage. I run task's Roman with stock kernel. My phone is not stable unless I up the voltage on the CPU clock at both the 189 and 378 speeds to 925mv.

So here's the question... since both speeds use 925mv, wouldn't it make more sense just to leave the min CPU speed at 378? Seems to me the faster min speed would process faster allowing the phone to go into deep sleep faster and saving battery.

Thoughts?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
192 and 384, you mean?

Personally, I prefer my min at 192 not cos of mV difference, but cos it keeps my phone lots cooler when at min speeds.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s384:
I asked a similar question with no response. mine goes down to 81mhz and stays stable but a higher clock speed uses the same voltage so I thought just run the higher one. unless deep sleep is consistent then it shouldnt matter. but for cases like bluetooth or music streaming the higher speed might seem better. but the more heat thing must cause more battery usage I would think
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
:) Looks like some thread lost with time...

More heat isn't good... heat is nothing but energy dissipated... and that means energy lost... So more heat is an indicator that you are kinda pushing your CPU to work hard and harder the work, more the battery utilized.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] liltitiz:
The voltage consumption of a CPU is calculated by f*V^2. So to answer the question, even if two frequencies share the same voltage, the lower frequency will still consume less power than the higher frequency.

after a search in this forum, i found the yorch.net link and bakked a ROM.

What are the protocols to put everything back again, i bought a cardreader and a SD Card, and put the ROM in the card reader and put the copy on the Card. Nothing is working, and now the card reader cannot read the card again,

Did i maked 2 horreble mistakes, a dead xda and card?

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] goatieman:
To be honest, I think you may have ****ed it. If it says GSM error, I'd presume that you screwed the radio stack, so it's be tuned to a different network/GSM, (e.g. 900, 1800, 1900 etc) I'm still a beginner but if you edit the radio stack, you can't downgrade which would mean it's been set to a different GSM country/code thingy.

I've tried upgrading ROM once but it screwed up first time, but I made sure it wouldn't modify the radio stack. With the ROM's you can downgrade but with the radio stack it's permanent.

Good luck, getting it working...I just hope you haven't killed the stack, but me being a learner still, I only know so much.

I have an SD/MMC card arriving to try to get mine back in action, but time will tell if it's possible.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] jacx:
so ****ed up

hereby i understand that there is no posibillity to work again with my XDA

I have no idea what to now, my knowledge about these things is over my head.

I tryed to make a new rom, but from what and where to ??

In the trashcan with it.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] gadgetgeek:
Not so fast. I'm not an expert on this but I have found that almost anything on this unit can be fixed.

I have done what I am telling you nelow and it worked for me.

Download the XDA OS Image Tools application from the xda-developers site (http://www.xda-developers.com/XDAtools). Burn your rom to an sd card using the XDA OS Image Tools application and your card reader (the application won't work with the card reader on windows 98 but xp and 2000 works fine). Next put the sd card in your xda and go into bootloader mode. It should recognize the OS on the sd card and allow you to flash the xda. Afterward, pull the card out and hard reboot the xda. This should get you up and running. Next, you need to get the radio stack back. This can be done by first determining what stack you want/need to put on the phone (there are a few on http://www.yorch.net in the Upgrades section). Once you've downloaded a radio stack you need to extract out the four files (monitor_ul_bs.m0, monitor_us_bl.map, RSUpgrade.cp64, RSUpgrade.exe). Connect your xda to your pc via activesync and copy the 4 files to your windows directory on the xda. You can also reformat your sd card and copy the four files to the sd card and transfer them to your xda using the sd card slot on the xda. In any event, once you copied the files onto your xda, go into file explorer on your xda find the RSUpgrade.exe file and double click it. It should begin upgrading your radio stack. Afterward, reset your phone and you should have a completely functional xda (oS and radio stack).

Regards,
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] gadgetgeek:
I forgot to mention that you should make sure the phone portion of your xda is off when you upgrade the radio stack. I caused myself problems upgrading the stack with the phone portion on and it took me a while to get it back working.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] jacx:
and now I'm very confused, because i downloaded the latest XDAtools.exe , i have install these and then, if i go to the OSImageTool, i can browse to.......?? it seams it looking for a file *.nb1 (windows CE) where is that file, i have never made a backup (ROM) from my XDA.

So how i am makeing a booteble ROM

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cruisin-thru:
Go to www.yorch.net, choose your rom, uncheck all the additional software, at the bottom left of screen are all options for download, choose the sd card method, once downloaded, write it to your card reader/writer using xdatools then follow instructions from previous person posting.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] jacx:
I did bakked a rom at yorch.net, the XDA downloaded it and after a cold boot, the only screen i get is a blank screen with an icon of a keybord in the right corner in the bottom. nothing is working and the configurationscreen of windows is also not there.

what have i done wrong???

i'm getting deperate now.

greetings

jaap
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] gadgetgeek:
Can you advise what was happening on the xda while you were flashing the rom? You should have seen numbers at the bottom of your xda increasing incrementally while the flashing process was in progress. Also once the actual flashing was done you should have seen something like "checksum ok" and "cold reboot" (or cold reset). Did you see that?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] jacx:
I think the battery wasn't in full charghe, because during the updateproces the screen was off, he was on 18% of the update that time.

After that, everything is going wrong.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] gadgetgeek:
From the sound of it, you didn't flash it using the bootloader process. Using the booloader process the xda should not be connected to the pc at all and the flashing process doesn't show percentages of completion. If your xda screen was off and you saw 18% complete I assume you saw 18% complete on your pc. If so, you were not flashing it via the bootloader. The bootloader process doen't rely onn the pc at all as your xda is never connected to the pc during the process and the screen is always on during the process.

Using xdatools browse and locate your downloaded rom (nb1 file) as your source file.

Then, the destination should be the sd card (not the xda card slot but the sd card reader that you connected - it should show up as a choice if it's properly connected and you're not using windows 98)

Hit the copy button. Once it's done, you have a bootable sd card.

Put the sd card into your xda.

Go into booloader by pressing the power button and soft resetting at the same time.

xda should recognize the sd card and allow you to flash the os.

Try this and see if you can get this far. you have to get to that point to proceed.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foueddyf:
I got the same issue and found out that the nexus 4 has ****ty wifi drivers.

Having my phone 1 feet away from the router yields me 2-3Mb/s download speeds. My internet connection is 50Mb/s.

2Mb/s is probably not enough for smooth YouTube HD playback.

Did the same test with my Nexus 10, I max out my Internet connection (47Mb/s) and of course, YouTube plays HD vids flawlessly.

Get the speedtest app and do some testing. I bet you have the same problem.

I believe not everyone has this issue and it comes up to what router and what router settings you use.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i9000-fan:
Hi,

Recently, my wife's phone started to boot loop, would eventually boot into Android but couldn't install apps etc. Anyway, tried to reset to factory and at startup, went into recovery mode with messages such as

E:failed to mount /dbdata (Invalid argument)

Can't access to '/system/csc/XEE/system/'

Doing a factory reset from recovery screen gives rfs format errors.

Anyway, next logical step in my mind was to try to install a ROM and pit file that I downloaded in case partition table was corrupted.

So to do this I used Odin / JVH_JV3_JPO.tar ROM / s1_odin_20100512.pit file. This seemed to install fine but unfortunately went to recovery screen again after rebooting so no joy.

Looks to me like onboard SD is damaged - thoughts?

I have a 16GB micro SD card in the phone also and would like to be able to use that to boot from. How can I do this? Bear in mind that the only 3 screens I can get to now are Recovery Mode / Download Mode / Boot loop.

A similar scenario appears to be discussed here but some of the posts on that thread imply that the process has problems, there are broken links in the post etc.

So I suppose, what I want to know is - is my internal SD damaged? And what's the best approach I can take now?

Thanks,

Julian.

hello,

got an hd2 with "upgrade rom code error please try again" message.

i've noticed that the phone has hspl 2.08 installed. tried to install magldr, but got only a black screen without options. tried to install several stock rom's, but without luck, i don't know the region and i don't find s/n, imei, etc. every stock rom installed stuck at 8-9%. i can remove hspl 2.08 and install spl 2.08, but that's all.... tried to install other radio, but i have only radio 2.15.50.14 and stuck on 96%. can't find other radios's, because on topic with radio's all links are to megaupload...

tried even to install custom rom, like "energy", installation goes well, but when restart vibrate 7 times and that's all.

what else can i do? tried switching os, computers, usb ports, usb cables, batteries, stooping all other apps on computers, but nothing helps!...

PLEASE HELP!.... :(

it's not my first flash...
[HD2 General] klinutzu:
nobody?...
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
try reflashing the radio 2.15.50, or a CORRECT stock rom, but this time chill teh phone in teh freezer first, for about half an hour. try it a few times, , report back.
[HD2 General] klinutzu:
tried to reflash radio 2.15.50, but no luck, as i already told before... as for the correct stock rom: i don't know the imei or s/n. it's any method to find out?
[HD2 General] Mister B:
imei will be on the regulation label under battery.

Trying the freezer trick as mentioned samsamuel is recommended as if boots fine while chilled you know it probably hardware failure in BGA
[HD2 General] klinutzu:
but after freezing i must wait to defreeze because of condens, right?
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Put it in an air tight bag & put it in sensible location in fridge icebox for good 30 minutes then take it out & use it straight away before it warms up too much.

If it manages to boot or progress further than before you can assume heat related BGA failure.

I have actually done this & also had the HD2 laying on an ice pack while flashing/booting to keep temps down & prove mainboard hardware bad .
[HD2 General] klinutzu:
tried also freeze method, but no chance... all radio's that i tried stopped to 96-99%, as before freezing... :(

i have another hd2 that is working, can i try to make some gold card?
[HD2 General] klinutzu:
it is any possibility to install or change the radio? or, it's any software that say which radio i have installed on phone?

did gold card helps somehow?

one more question: tried to install a lot of radios (2.07, 2.08, 2.10, 2.11, 2.12, 2.14, 2.15) and a lot of stock rom, but the result is the same. it is possible to have a hd2 with 1024 ram? i don't know what to do else, really!...

strange thing, after task 29 i don't have on tri-color screen the message aboutupgrade error, but magldr won't install well (just black screen without options)
[HD2 General] vensterbank:
my guess is that its a hardware failure. used hd2's are cheap though, ad its fairly easy to get parts and there are a ton of video's that show you how to disassemble the phone and replace parts.
