All better now! This time it only took about 20 minutes to redo the whole procedure, unlike the 3 hours it took last night (had to download and install pretty much everything first, including Android Studio, Java 7, Odin, etc., because I was using a new computer).

If the root instructions are going to be maintained, may I suggest mentioning in steps 11 and 14 that you must continue holding the home, power, and volume up or down buttons until the recovery mode or download mode screens actually appear? I initially released them after feeling the usual short vibrate, but that just goes to normal boot.

Also, reading through replies in this thread it's clear that I'm not the only one who was a bit anxious about the "nonexistent file" message when doing steps 25 and 27. Perhaps a note could be added to the instructions pointing out that all is well if the files are not there.

So happy to actually own my phone now. Without root privilege, it's not really mine.

I did ClockworkMod per Jay Dogg's instructions, but KitKat sounds like it might be nice. Which GApp do you use?

I'm sick of how slow the phone is running after an update a year ago. I'm going to take the plunge this weekend and root it...

Hello root experts!

I was lucky to find a Samsung qwerty-phone.

Unluckely is full of bloatware. I found a program called "Debloater". It worked fine with my wifes Samsung i415. But on my Samsung t699 it says, my device needs to be rooted.

Fortunately I found this thread with its very detailed instructions.

BUT - and here comes my problem - I´m stuck already at (the first) step 14.

- the device says in red letters "Odin mode ... Qualcomm SecureBoot Enable ... DOWNLOADING ... Do not turn off target !!"

- odin says in the message board "... Setup Connection .. Complete (Write) operation FAILED. ... OSM: All threads completed. (succeed 0/failed 1)" and shows in the upper left corner a red square with black letters "FAIL!"

What have I done wrong?

with many thanks in advance

Wifi is not working

I've flashed the last stable CM11 for this phone but I cannot get the wifi or the wifi hotspot to work at all. I never upgraded the phone to Android 4.1 before I rooted it. Could that have been the reason this won't work? (I've also flashed in VALIDUS and the wifi isn't working on that one either).

Dialing that code of numbers hasn't worked and/or erasing setting data has not worked either.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
So your phone was stock before flashing to CM11? Did you upgrade your baseband and bootloader first?

My phone was new enough that it didn't need the baseband upgrade, but my wife's did. It's been a few years, so I don't remember where the version break was. A bit over a year ago I did have to back-flash my phone in order to get the GPS working again, so for a few hours it was actually running older-than-stock, before bringing it back to new.

I have both baseband zips laying around - somewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] rebot4:
Yes, I rooted the phone ages ago from the stock Relay 4G Android (4.0.4, I think, which is what it is now) and only in the last week finally decided to flash CM11. I didn't upgrade the baseband or bootloader (at least I don't remember doing an upgrade for either). What is the process for doing that and will that solve my issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
Cyangenmod used to have a really good set of installation instructions - that's what I used, though I also learned just enough IRC to get some help from, I believe Magamo, when I first installed. IIRC, and that's a big "if", I believe that the line is at Android 4.1. If you're earlier than Android 4.1, you will need to flash both bootloader and baseband. My phone was at some sort of 4.1, but my wife's may well have been at the same 4.0.4 as yours. So I've done it both ways, but that was YEARS ago.

I would suggest going to the Wayback Machine to see if you find the old Cyanogenmod pages for installation on the Relay. I've put my "last-ever Relay CM11" builds up on my Google Drive, and published a link somewhere around here. I'll have to look around and see if I can find bootloader and baseband updates, somewhere on my hard drive at home.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] rebot4:
Thank you for the info. I will go to the WayBack Machine and see if I find that info. If you find those updates, it would be much appreciated. I'll let you know if I find anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] rebot4:
I found an article in which Magamo mentioned needing "the ICS stock baseband (modem)" . In my case, I would need the KitKat stock baseband (or the Lollipop stock baseband if I use VALIDUS) and then get the updated bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
I'm sorry, but I don't know. I was unaware that there was a KitKat or Lollipop stock baseband. I was only aware of a baseband split at 4.1. In fact, my first flash was to CM10.2, and it needed the baseband flash - it wasn't just KitKat. So I'm aware of only two basebands for the relay - pre-4.1 and 4.1+.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] rebot4:
Thanks for the help, phred14. I found the bootloader and stock modem, loaded them up, cleared the cache and then flashed in the 20161126-UNOFFCIAL nightly and the wifi & hotpot worked! I could have gone with VALIDUS but I'll stick with this instead.

No 'PDA' button in Odin. ?

> 13. Press the dialog box labeled PDA and select the ClockworkMod-based Recovery named "cwm.tar.md5"

Just received the phone from eBay.

I see buttons for BL, AP, CP, CSC, and (greyed out) UMS. I'm assuming Odin has updated over the years - what is the PDA button now?

Based on another post I tried the AP button - hopefully that is correct. Confirm please?

That attempt failed (timeout, I expect), but that was running Win 7 on vbox. Anyone used Odin that way?

I've also got Heimdall, but I've no idea what to hit on that. Suggestions and thoughts welcome.

-----

Should have noted: File in this case was cwm_mod_e46dd7af.zip modified per earlier post about making it into a .tar.md5.

Failure was: <ID:0/003> Setup Connection.. [at which it stopped and eventually 'Fail!'ed.]

Tried it again on the cwm.tar.md5 file noted earlier [intending to the try the above, per note earlier in thread to do one then the other], (5.4MB) and this time gets one step further to <ID:0/003> Initialization..

Again: Suggestions and thoughts welcome.

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

Really? Bizarre. Regardless, Odin seems to like it, so good enough.

i.e. An md5 checksum is being appended to a tar ball? And file utilities are happy with it??? Any links to other posts about things that are happy with this?

Anywho, should the 3rd line not be:

md5sum apexq_recovery-10.2.tar >> apexq_recovery-10.2.tar

(appending '.tar' to the 2nd arg)?

Else, just what is md5sum finding (glob'bing?) to sum?

[Thanks for having made the post ... came across it at a good time!]
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] bs27975:
I was able to directly Odin flash the apexqtmo_twrp-2.8.1.0_0001.zip file (following the zip -> img -> tar.md5 instructions elsewhere in this thread), first, so didn't need to do the 2nd flash below.

However, I've also come across a TWRP-3-apexqtmo.bin file ... what to do with a .bin? Rename to .img?

Also, as noted elsewhere, I couldn't find the PDA button in Odin mentioned - used the AP button and it feels like I've landed at the desired destination. However, I'd prefer to not have to keep digging out a Windows machine ... what are the equivalent instructions for Heimdall? (Heimdall-frontend?)

> Once done you can flash any rom.

Any favourite links as to how to do so? [I need to get back to JB to unlock, then up to a CM.] I have the JB-stock-xxx.zip files from elsewhere, and both the cm-10.1-20130305-UNOFFICIAL-apexqtmo.zip file from elsewhere and the last CM downloaded via the CM app, but it's not at all clear how to work with any of these. Favourite links appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] g1junky:
Ok so here's my situation, Last night i performed a backup of my current rom (AOSPA) and when it finished and booted back up my phone became unbearably laggy. This isn't a rom specific problem either because i've tried wiping and clean flashing several other roms that hadn't given me this problem. I've also tried the Lagfix (fstrim) app which doesnt seem to work (Gives an error message then grays out the button and says "Not Supprted").The only way to get rid of this lag is to completely unroot and install 4.0.4 then root again. I had this problem about a week or two ago also. i was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. If so, Is there any way to get rid of it without unrooting? Thanks In Advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hhwong:
have you tried to flash the stock image from google? I had the same issue for my nexus 7, flashed factory image and all lag is gone, feels like a new tab again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nevrlow:
So going to atock 4.0.4 fixes the issue correct? Id suggest wiping the entire phone system and all. If u search my profile i have a one click flash to stock tool. It deletes everything but will put u back on 4.0.4 the day it came out of the box. I think ur issue lies somewhere in storage.

If u have the gsm nexus then uncheck the radio flash boxes if u decide to use my tool.

Also my tool contains the stock image from google. No hackery of any kind.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] g1junky:
Thanks for your help. I seriously hope this is the last time it happens. I think I have narrowed down what the problem is. It seems that whenever my internal storage gets below 1gb this happens. I believe that was when it started last time. I guess I'll just have to use less internal storage to keep my nexus fast.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fajabird:
I guess you still have the lagfix-issue. Normaly LagFix should be able to recover your speed. I sometimes have a problem with lagfix not getting the root-permissions from the superuser fast enough so it considers your phone unsupported. Try this:

1. start LagFix and click on Run!

2. Grant root-permissions to it and save the decision so superuser will not ask again.

3. if LagFix fails with the unsupported-device-error go on...

4. quit LagFix and clear its DATA from app-management

5. start LagFix again and click on Run!. Not it should run OK without asking for root!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] EFEXR:
So when I was on stock my sdcard was located in /sdcard.

I then moved to CM and somehow my sdcard moved to /sdcard/0

I returned to stock because I was in need of taking 13MP picture, so my sdcard was then moved to /sdcard

Now, I moved to Unofficial geehrc4g_spr_us Vanilla RootBox [4.27.13] and all of my previous sdcard was missing (not lost, just replaced to a different folder /data/media) and my new sdcard is now /sdcard

Is /sdcard the same as /data/media ?? if it isn't, would it be safe to delete all the contents of /data/media? Or would that be wiping my sdcard?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] BMP7777:
I am pretty new to this device so my word is not law by any means; I think that the files in data/media are nothing more than a mirror of /sdcard. Otherwise, you would have blown through all available memory trying to store doubles of all data(at least it would for me, I has this badboy 25 gigs full the first day.......)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] EFEXR:
Actually my /data/media and my /sdcard have totally different files.

Here is an example : my /data/media has all my downloaded roms and mods and my /sdcard has no downloaded roms

[Sprint LG Optimus G] stevek216:
If you go back to a stock rom and take everything in /sdcard and put it in /sdcard/0 then go to an AOSP rom, it'll all be where you expect
[Sprint LG Optimus G] EFEXR:
does anybody know a quick way to format the sdcard (without wiping the rom)?

I just want to start fresh with the sdcard, I believe that my sdcard has duplicated many times since flashing stock, CM10, and rootbox.

It has been replicated on "/data/media", "/storage", and "/sdcard" and in those folders a "/0" folder has been created as well. I now only have 6GB of space.

Whereas, before the multiple sdcards I had 16-18GB available.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] NexusS4gFreak:
OKayy so will doing this stop the duplicating and mirrored folders and enable stock and aosp to share and get along (as fas as this situation goes) using the same directory?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ced78:
I appreciate the support!

I have been trying so many things and getting very much confused with Hboot, Fastboot.

Honestly been on both screen and do not see much difference.

If you do not mind suggesting steps and I will try them out and will share what I experience.

Tks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
Then you're not in fastboot. You get to fastboot by going to hboot (reboot while holding power and volume-down), navigating to "fastboot" with the power buttons, and selecting it with the power button. Also, again, the OP seems to imply that your bootloader isn't unlocked. If it is, hboot would say so at the top.

FASTBOOT USB

the phone is stuck on the green htc logo with a white background

my computer no longer shows a folder for the phone when i plug in usb (im certain that i made a mistake by trying a factory reset using the hboot screen after this occured) which would undoubtedly remove usb debugging. and set to default charge only setting

i can use vol dwn + pwr to go into bootloader screen (obviously)

I tried using 2 different RUU's (both labeled HTC Android Phone ROM Utility 1.0.3.2011) because that seemed to help others

It progresses to install ruu. Phone shows black background and htc logo in grey but goes no further, just hangs like that forever, when i unplug usb at that point the grey logo disappears and it shows that ruu failed! in orange colors

the rom update utility shows error 155:unknown error

then : The ROM Utility cannot update your android phone

Please get the correct ROM update utility and try again

the htcdev site only shows one utility for htc desire hd (RUU_HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade (Gingerbread))

i also tried using (RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed)

typing adb devices in cmd prompt shows no devices listed using sdk

the ruu had previously listed image version 2.47.502.7

it updated to image version 2.52.0.0 before i used htcdev to unlock it

now it tries to upgrade from 2.52 to 3.12.405.1 but won't

i followed the steps in this thread

"[how to]unlock inspire build 3.20.502.52 with htcdev in preparation to use AAHK" (you have to google it cus forum wont allow me to post url)

i didnt notice the red warning about this post being outdated OR that its a method for a different build :( It was 3am! and i was tired

it seemed to work fine just after the unlock in step 2

but i started having issues after i finished step 3

also if flashing an image file onto the SD card is the only route then how is that possible if my pc doesnt have access to the files

it only makes a sound when i plug it in

yes im a noob :(

please help

i believe that this is fixable since i read a comment that any htcdev unlocked phone is fixable...fingers crossed

is this a soft brick?

how do fix this so i can root this phone

and what method is (safest) best for rooting?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
Your bootloader is already unlocked. Flash a custom recovery through fastboot and flash a ROM from there.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
have you tried formatting from the phone? That's usually how I format my cards.

I agree, if you pulled the phone or card while trying to format on your PC, you probably messed the file tables. It's going to be hit and miss on recovering your information. I don't think you'll find a program on Android to do, but maybe on the PC. Look for the ones that do it for crashed HDD or post formatted. You may be get lucky if the information didn't get written over and it's just the tables that are bad.

Hello Folks,

my Samsung Galaxy S broke last week and I need a new phone! I tried a lot of roms on that phone and was very pleased with the variety of customization and flashs for it. The MIUI Rom was by far the best one I tried (GB and ICS), i really love the smooth and intuitive OS and that's why I want a phone that fully supports MIUI V5 and by that I mean it should work for daily use, work fluently and stable!

It's not necessary that it's an official MIUI V5 Rom, it should just be stable, as already said.

I'm pretty open for every brand or model, I would prefer if the performance was better than the Galaxy S, since I want a snappy phone!
