[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] moishier:
Won't boot after update

Yes, as you expected, the noobs like me will have issues with the jellybean update.

I installed the latest jellybean update via Keis. All went well, phone starts OK. Then I access my memos and the system migrates my memos. I come back to my phone and it's frozen. I reboot it and it gets stuck on the AT&T logo.

I do not have a backup. (Yes, I am shooting myself now - "what could go wrong??".)

What are my options?

Update: I booted into recovery mode and wiped the application cache and it did not help.

LOL. I just look at my infractions list if I need to quickly find rule 2.3. I even have a rule 6 violation in there. Some member smarter than I said I posted warez. I didn't think so. Turns out the Mods did. Maybe I should read those rules again.:rolleyes:

We aren't rude, I don't know if you've looked around but there's a lot of freaking stupid questions being asked that shouldn't be. It's annoying as hell for us who have been around here for a while and we're all sick of telling people to freaking search. It doesn't matter how new you are, do some research before you ask on here. This is more of a last go to place for help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bleedos:
Then you have two choices. Ignore them or be annoyed and lose time bashing them :p

If you ignore annoying/stupid/newb/already answered questions, others will answer them or no one will and people will have no choice but to search. :)

Is it just me or am I missing the info on how to root the official JB? I've searched for about an hour. Not one place I've looked at indicates it's for the official release. I'm already on AOKP's 4.2 and loving it - Thought I'd go official and see how it's battery life compares, but if I can't get root then it's a no go...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Flash a custom recovery. Then flash super su-busy box
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] henslo:
If you're already on AOKP 4.2.2 means you must have root and a recovery, why not just search for the deodexed slimmed 4.1.2 stock and flash it :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
just you, its a sticky in the dev forum and its in my sig

btw the rooting sticky is the same for all releases
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] milestoneiii:
I wasn't aware of this, but TWRP 2.5.0.0 included the ability to detect when root wasn't present and offer the ability to root without any fuss. As for why the stock rom, I wanted to see how smooth it is in comparison to my current rom. I didn't care for the new calendar enough to lose all of AOKP's yummy ui goodness so I'm back to 4.2... But Kudos to Sammy for actually releasing the JB within a reasonable time frame unlike ICS :)

Thanks for the help everyone. I was able to root no problem

Bluetooth is garbled for me after the update. on ICS, BT voice cals were flawless. After the update, all calls in/out are garbled. I came across some info on androidcentral about the S3 the same Infiniti G35S after it's JB update about all calls being garbled. Any ideas?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BethaneyNoel:
I am a noob and don't even know if I am posting in the right place. Sorry, if I'm not.

I updated my skyrocket to jelly bean, yesterday.

Since then, most of my contacts seem tobhave disappeared. I did have then backed up on my SIM, but I can't import them. When I try to use my contacts app, it says something about AT&T address book (I always click cancel, since I'm on straight talk) and then it says, "Updating Contact List" and does nothing else. Maybe I am just impatient, but it seems to be messed up.

I force closed the "contacts" app, I installed a secondary contacts app, disabled and enabled the original contacts app... no avail.

Any ideas? It almost makes me want an iPhone. Almost.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BethaneyNoel:
And I DID try to search. Either I am not searching the right keywords or no one has posted ahout this problem, yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bleedos:
Did u try syncing your contacts with Google instead of the Sim card? If not already there, add some contacts to Google via gmail and try syncing them to your phone going to Settings -- Accounts -- Google

This is something to try.

If it works you could add all your contacts in your Google account.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Justin Thought:
I have an almost psychotic aversion to telling google what I'm doing and who I'm doing it with, so I always keep my synchronization turned off. Not that it works; google still slips in and syncs my contacts and calendars anyway, but at least I tried.

One thing that I have found helpful for maintaining my contacts, though, is to use the contacts application to make a backup of the contacts on my phone. This will create a file in your root directory called contacts.vcf or (a number).vcf, which I copy to my computer. Then, using Kies--which won't talk to my phone since I'm using a non-standard ROM--I import that file into the contacts section. I can then edit, delete, massage, and make any other changes I wish. Following that, I export out of Kies to .vcf files. It creates one card for each contact. I copy those back into a folder on my phone, and, after deleting all my contacts, I do a group import of the individual phone cards (make sure you're selective--if you include your original .vcf file, you're gonna get a bunch of dupes...ask me how I know :( back into my address book.

I actually came here to see if I could get some help with my calendars. I flash a new ROM on the average of once a week (I like to try new things...), and I need to keep a history of all of my appointments. The stuff google does sync is always very spotty; I found an app on Google Play called Mobile Backup and Restore which works....so-so. What I'd REALLY like to do is backup all my calendar entries, including the reference to the custom calendars they are stored in. The app I referenced above, Mobile Backup and Restore, will also do the same for your calendar...but it's so-so to be generous.

Anybody found the "perfect" calendar maintenance program? Thanks in advance!

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cruisin-thru:
If you dont wish to commit a crime I would look elsewhere for the answer, it is a crime in The UK, punishable by 5 years in jail plus a huge fine for tampering with imei to unblock a stolen/blocked phone

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Biso007:
I agree on this concept 100% ... it's a true crime by law and it's unethical at the least. However, if someone has XDA with a dead mother board or burned flash ROM, would it still be a crime to change the IMEI of a blocked device to his original IMEI ???
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cruisin-thru:
Manipulating the imei to restore a system board is not a crime, however it is an offence in this country to even posess the equipment to do this. Selling the equipment is also a criminal offence, if somebody sells a device that is produced for the manipulation of imei to a person that intends using it to unblock phones they are both guilty of conspiracy to commit a crime.

So, I searched everything but didn't help.

Thing is, I want to install FPse PS emulator. I installed it but then for some reason I removed. Now I want to install it again, but I get out of space error, and I have lots of free space!

I tried erasing google play cache, erasing cache/davlik cache from CWR. I have no idea what to do! I tried installing different apps, they work fine, then I tried different version of FPse and it didn't install either. I even updated firmware to 4.1.2 (i had 4.1.1). I use stock rooted rom.

Hi,

I copied my self-made Mer based rootfs manually to media/multirom/roms/nemo/root/ and put the rom_info.txt to media/multirom/roms/nemo/ and while the TWRP shows the ROM (I can rename it etc.), the boot menu shows only the "Internal" option.

Any hints if I need to add my ROM to some list for it show in the boot menu as I copied the rootfs manually?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulve:
No hints from anybody?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tasssadar:
rom_info.txt is probably not correct. Show me content of that file and also log file (Go to Misc -> copy log to /sdcard in MultiROM, then reboot to recovery and do adb pull /sdcard/multirom/error.txt).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulve:
Ah, that error log was handy. It showed that it's trying to read the roms from media/0/multirom/roms/ and I put my rootfs to media/multirom/roms/.

Doesn't still boot but at least now it's trying and the rest is probably because of my rootfs.

PS. My rom_info.txt is otherwise exactly as the example but I changed vmlinuz -> zImage because that matches my setup.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for help, maybe you guys can point me in the right direction...

I have an old Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet that I would like to mount in my kitchen for cooking purposes.

What I am attempting to do is hide a wireless charging pad behind the wall mount so all one has to do is hang it back up and it will start charging again. I cannot seem to find any accessories that support the 10.1 though. Has anyone done this before? Is there a wireless charging station that supports the samsung 10.1?

I've been trying to update from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2, but I deleted some stock apps and now the update is failing. I've tried flashing it manually and OTA, and various other things, but nothing has helped so far. Has anyone else had this problem?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
The OTAs are for use with [size=+2]unmodified[/size] factory ROMs.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wipeout4wh:
I figured that out when I tried to update. I can't flash it either, so your post doesn't really help.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
My post tells you that you have the wrong expectation about what OTAs are capable of... and that you are probably the 200'th dude to come in here and say

"Wahhh! The OTA doesn't work on my heavily modified stock ROM!".

If you want it to work without exerting any mental effort, return the /system, boot, and recovery partitions back to 100% pure stock corresponding to whatever release your original ROM was based upon, and run the update. Then re-flash your recovery and re-perform all your /system mods, starting with a flash of the same root kit you started with.

Note that the the update you are contemplating also includes a bootloader update - performed the safest way possible (signature checking performed by the existing boot loader). Doing it the manual way (via fastboot) is quite dangerous, even for experts. If you have a 3g version there is also a radio update which also should not be attempted in any other way than via a pure stock OTA install including use of a stock recovery.

Make a full Nandroid backup before you begin anything - and get a copy of that backup off of the tablet as well as a failsafe measure. If you screw things up moving forward, at least you will be able to start over from where you are right now.

If you have been operating using best practices, you should already have a nandroid backup of the pure-stock /system & boot images. TWRP allows you selectively restore individual partitions. Few users seem to know how to actually make a backup of stock recovery partitions, but you can get that out of oldblue910's archive site - find the link in the OTA thread.

good luck
