[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikidera:
Hi,

Whenever I start copying files to the phone(as Mass Storage Device), whether it be /sdcard/ or /extSdcard/(i.e my external SD card) I'd after a few copies start getting the error "The device has either stopped responding or..." you get the point, it's really annoying because it sort of remembers the file so when you try to copy it again it shows the same error, unless you disconnect the phone and connect it again, then I can copy the file and continue with others, till the error appears again.

I had this error since ICS, now I am on JB, even the Siyah kernel has not helped me. So any fix for this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
It seems like u have a connectivity issue. Try using a different (preferably newer and original) USB cable. Also, try a different USB port. :)

Most likely your phone goes into sleeping mode after some time and this influences / disables the USB connection. Try to disable sleeping mode while connected to the PC. I've had similar problems on my Nexus 7 some time ago.

For those of you who have an error completing the setup wizard, this is how I bypassed it.

1. From the wizard, on the Samsung account screen, select sign up for new Samsung account

2. Select log in with Facebook - which launches a browser

3. On that page click and hold a word to select it

4. Scroll to the right to do a web search

5. Select Chrome

6. Navigate to facebook.com

7. Click the link to download the app which launches the Play Store

8. In Play Store download Nova launcher and then launch

9. From here you can enable developer options and USB debugging

10. Root again and reboot

11.From here, you can use your ADB skills to rename/remove the SetupWizard.apk and SecSetupWizard2013.apk files from /system/app, or as I did, repeat the steps 1-7, install Root Explorer and alter the files that way.

12.Reboot

I hope this helps until we can install a custom recovery and flash ROMs.

Thanks to RandomHandle for helping me repeat the process to verify it worked, as well as clean up the instructions!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] aafevo:
I followed all of the steps but for some reason I can't rename or delete the setup files. I re-rooted and even installed root checker to make sure I had root access but it's not letting me touch them.

I am able to rename those files with Root Explorer.

I don't have the Samsung account screen. I had uninstall alot of Samsung stuff with Titanium, so I don't know if that is the reason. I did do a factory reset from the recovery screen but I still don't see where it says sign up for Samsung on setup...:rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] wtd966:
When you do the factory reset, do you get the setup wizard on the first boot? The Samsung account login is a few pages in after the personal information.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gsessons:
When I get home I will tell you everything I see on phone.... Off top of head... Yes I do get the setup wizard but I do not see where it say Samsung account.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Verumae:
Hey guys, I'll try to make this brief. I'm not very good with Android, so I apologize in advance for my ignorance.

A few months ago, I accidentally let my phone update to 2.2, so I had to wait a while to for a bootloader/root method. A bootloader unlock came first, so I had to do that, but I never ended up installing a custom ROM.

Now, I'm really feeling I need one, but I have no idea where to start. There are just so many. I would like something as close to vanilla android as possible, and I don't necessarily want to be on the bleeding edge.

To be honest, I don't know as much about Android as I would like to, and I guess I want something that "just works."

Can anyone help me out here?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Have a look in the Original Android Development section, that's where you'll find the "vanilla" or AOSP stuff. Asking which ROM is best is against the rules here so I'm not going to suggest anything, other than saying they're pretty much all stable and suitable as a daily driver. It comes down to what you personally like, flash a few and see what works best for you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 31ken31:
There's even a few stock ones with all the att crap removed
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Figure out what features you want or don't want, then just look through the ROM threads to see which ones look good to you. Pick a couple, flash them and try them out.

Its not clear how much you know or don't now about how Android works, and the various features. If you really don't understand the terminology used in the ROM threads, just start reading up by searching on XDA or Google, and figure them out.

If you don't know what the features are, and what they mean, then you don't need a custom ROM. Also, nobody can choose a ROM for you, as everybody has different preferences and uses their phones differently. That's why its best to do some research, so you can make an educated choice on your own.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tinwhisker:
There are some good "close to stock" ROMS out there, I use one myself. Just remember that if you use an AOSP ROM you *may* also have to downgrade some firmware.

Check very closely with each ROM you try and follow the instructions closely. A bad ROM install is unlikely to brick you but doing it right can avoid a lot of headaches.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
RAISE THE ROOF! :laugh:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Verumae:
Alright, I'll check that out. There are just so many ROMs, I was hoping there would be a popular or standard one.

Sorry about that. I thought I read the rules, so I guess I missed that part. My bad.

This thread wasn't too successful, so I guess I'll actually have to learn something now. I apologize for breaking the rules, for I didn't mean any harm, and I'd like to thank everyone who actually made an effort to help.

And with that, I am off to the distant lands of Google and Wikipedia.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
No such thing as "standard" because everybody likes different things. Its like asking if there is a "standard" favorite color.

There are certainly "popular" ROMs. And determining which those are, is pretty easy without making a thread like this. And just because a ROM is popular, does not mean it will be the best choice for you. Again, everybody uses their phone differently and has different preferences. I've had instances in the past, where a lesser know ROM worked much better for me than what "everyone else" seemed to be using.

Sifting through the ROMs is not as daunting as it might appear. Especially if you use my index. You said you wanted vanilla Android, so that excludes the Sense ROMs. Decide whether you want Android 4.1 or 4.2. Exclude the versions of ROMs that have been superceded, or haven't been updated or supported for a while (older ROMs are not necessarily bad, but probably should not be your first choice if you are just getting started flashing ROMs). The number drops to the point where its not that hard to read the threads and see what you like, and pick out a couple to try.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
The best way to find a good ROM is process of elimination like red point said. Sense vs aosp. ICS vs jb (4.1 vs. 4.2). And then of course the features. If there was the best ROM, everyone's signature would probably be you the same. But this is not the case.

I look for features (including bugs), screenshots, and then comments. If it looks good test it out for a day or two. If I like it l, keep it. If not, keep going.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Actually, ICS is 4.0.

4.1 is Jellybean

and 4.2 is um. . . Jellybeanier

But yeah, ICS is a choice for some, also. Although I think most XDA folks have moved to JB.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
When I said 4.1 vs. 4.2 I was putting it beside the jb on purpose. Some people like 4.1 while others like 4.2...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Ahh, I see. I took it to mean respectively. My bad.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Arrow44:
He...he.....beanier....no hablo englas
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Phonefanboys:
I think you mean 4.1 is more stable than 4.2 roms. Saying you like 4.1 more is kind of stupid because 4.2 just adds more features than 4.1 roms it's just a newer version of Android.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
since 4.2 exists only for aosp on the evita and many people prefer sense, it makes perfect sense for some to like 4.1 over 4.2

On a side not. ive run a couple 4.2 roms that are currently stable.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Phonefanboys:
Ya lot of them say stable but I do see a lot of comments saying there are issues with their voltage and lock screens
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
so dont overclock lol.

I have a belief that instability is in direct relation to ignorance.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I've run a few 4.2 roms that are perfectly stable. Like exad said, instability can be a symptom of ignorance. Currently running Carbon underclocked to 1242mhz and it's perfectly stable.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
I'm doing 1.5 and I still get stability and great battery. Tries sense (viper and hatka) for the past few days, but it wasn't for me.

---------- Post added at 10:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 AM ----------

Sir that is not the case. Some people may not like the way Google made little changes int 4.1.1. For example, if you are familiar with mIRC, some people sitll use 6.30, even though there is a 7.31. I know that is a bad example since it doesn't apply here, but I hope you get my analogy.

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ----------

And that could be user settings. I bet if people leave settings at default or stock, no one will have issues. Or maybe it is certain apps that make small (non-rooted) changes to their phones. You never know the whole story, because a lot of people don't tell.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] xXshadowxnightmareXx:
Hello. I have the U8800 pro. I was trying to install one of the Jelly Bean ROMs for this phone and I completely forgot to delete a dload file from the root of the sd card. I was on the official ICS ROM from Huawei and still had a dload file from the update. It went into the update screen and was stuck halfway on step 2, didn't say update failed at all, it was just stuck on installing. . .

So I took out the battery and put it back in. When I turned the phone back on, it showed the Huawei logo and went to the update again by itself. I had to remove sd card and delete that dload folder. I put the sd card back in and when I turned the phone back on again, it showed the Huawei logo again for a few seconds and then just goes straight to the pink screen. I can't even go into recovery mode. Won't let me. I take out the battery, put it back in, turn it on, same ordeal, huawei logo, then automatic pink screen. I connect it via USB and it doesn't detect the removable drive for the system image. Nothing. My question is, is there any possible way to resolve this issue? Any way to get back into recovery? I'm really not hoping that I bricked this phone. It's a really decent phone. Thank you for your time and please reply and answer soon. I greatly appreciate it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rqmok:
Booting straight into pink screen means there is no rom installed. The phone tries to install the official rom from the sd card. When it doesn't find anything, it goes into pink screen. This means you must try installing an official rom to make the phone boot. Try installing GingerBread.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] xXshadowxnightmareXx:
I downloaded the official Gingerbread rom for the phone and it just said "Update failed" on the unpacking part. The sd card is completely empty. I only have the dload folder on it with the Gingerbread update. I keep trying and it just keeps telling me "Update failed." What should I do now? I'm confused to why it is failing, if there is no rom on the phone. And thank you so much for the reply, by the way.

Is there a way to find out when the phone was first bought or activated.

There is a date stamp in the bootloader of every android phone, I was wondering what does it represent?

It seems to represent that, but could it be modified?

Thanks for the help in advance
[Hardware Hacking General] lesmo_sft:
Unlikely

That's probably the boot loader's build date, but it's possible. Some Nokia phones with Symbian had a code that could tell you that kind of information, but even that was not the real "first" activation date... it was the time it first turned on since last hard reset.

ZTE V970 Brick?

Hi,

I've been trying to install Bruno's ROM for this phone (cam with all chinese apps). http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1856578

but have a big problem. I tried my best to follow the instructions but, really couldn't work out if I was doing things in the right order.. is there an actual step- by step for this procedure? I know I'm a noob and read this read that I am an idiot etc. etc. but I thought if I used to ROM on that page and the software recommended it would be easy.

Here's what I did:

Downloaded all the files as told.

Tried to 'flash a custom recovery' as here http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html

but it did not mention how to use the ZTE custom recovery file http://d-h.st/Vgt

I'm also not sure at all that the 'MediaTek drivers' were installed properly. The phone never appeared in the Device manager.

I opened SP flash tool and followed this: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html

and selected the 'scatter file' from the unzipped Bruno ROM (took a while to realise had to unzip it to get the file!!!)

I noticed most of the boxes on the scatter file were unchecked but carried on and ignored a warning message about the phone may not be able to boot (the tutorial said to ignore it).

I had to click 'download' then plug the phone in and eventually I got the red loading bar. This finished... then nothing else.. no purple bar.. nothing.

So after waiting a few minutes I unplugged the phone.

It now appears to be a total brick. What did I do wrong? Why no purple bar? Were the scatter items supposed to be unchecked? What was the 'custom recovery' file for? Because the SP flash prog never asked for it.

Is there any point in trying it again or is the phone dead?

Thanks for any help..

stupid newbie question: Is there any way to run fastboot without connecting the phone to a computer?

Device: HTC One V [CDMA]

Network: Virgin Mobile US

Goal: I want to be able to relock and unlock (which on my device is

fastboot flash unlocktoken <txt file>

) my phone without having to connect to a computer.

Motivation: I've already managed to near-brick my HTC One V twice, both due to HTC's silly OTA radio update (details here), and the only way I was able to fix it in either case was to use Solution #2 from the linked thread (although I didn't try solution #1, there is absolutely no way to do #1 without Windows, never mind without a computer). Since I've proved perfectly capable of soft-bricking without the intervention of a computer—although I don't think that will happen anymore as long as I remember not to use my two Nandroid backups with the newer radio—I would really like to be able to unbrick it without a computer in case I have to do it when I don't have a computer handy.

Thanks in advance!
