Hello,

First time poster, long time reader...since the G1.

I have an HTC Amaze and have searched for several days without finding an answer to my problem. I used Hasoon's toolkit to unlock the bootloader (and root) strictly to allow tethering. I attempted S-Off without success and when I used Hasoon's toolkit to relock the bootloader, adb shell says device not found (USB debugging enabled..I checked many times). The phone is still S-On and has the most updated Tmobile stock firmware downloaded on phone. I decided to perform a factory reset to see if this would fix my 'device not found problem' using Hasoon's toolkit (which it did not). Later I received a notification for an update on my phone (I guess because I did a factory reset). I downloaded the update and tried to install but it said sd card not found. So I then went into ext4 recovery and pushed the update.zip on my phone. Everything worked ok except now WIFI says error and bluetooth won't turn on. I have to admit I am very confused. I just want to go back to a working device and can't seem to find any answers. I flashed an older ruu hoping it would fix my problems but it has not.

Current software: 4.0.3

Kernel: 3.0.16-ga4fb83c
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mgoggles:
I think what I need to do is relock the bootloader and flash the latest ics firmware from tmobile. Hasoon's tool does not recognize my device so I will have to relock it using another method. Any help would be great.

All these instructions are for the HTC Amaze. I am on the T-Mobile North American version.

If my instructions below cause thermal nuclear war I am not responsible for what you did or didn't do.

Here is my guide updated.

Obtaining S-Off and being SuperCID allow for this process to run smoothly as well as having 4ext as your recovery.

I'll give this a try and let you know if it works. Thanks for replying.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mgoggles:
Quick question and update.

I finally was able to relock the bootloader. For some reason hasoon's kit would not recognize my device so I booted into the bootloader and enabled fastboot and then used hasoon's kit to relock the bootloader successfully. From here I am downloading the PH85IMG and putting it on the root of the sd card and then rebooting into bootlader. Do i really need S-off to do this?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mgoggles:
100 Thank you's PeterC18st!

I flashed the PH85IMG and my wifi and bluetooth work. I can resume watching playoff hockey now. I will click on the thanks button. Have a great night!

unable to install again

Hi,

I have been trying to update my asian amaze to the 2.14.531.30 version with repeated failure. I tried PeterC18st method, but it still shows the error, ''we have determined that your phone may be running.. bla bla" I am getting this prompt about a software update availability. I had already done SuperCid and SOFF.

I had relocked amaze, flashed http://d-h.st/z70 (i had checked the checksum too) in bootloader. Bootloader finds the file and it installs. When the update is checked, it shows update available, however, after full download, it fails by showing the error, "we have determined that your phone may be running..".

I could update when i had flashed the amaze RUU from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2167596. Once the update finished, however, the wifi and bluetooth failed to even start.

Can asian amaze be updatd?

Thanks a lot
[HTC Amaze 4G] @tlz:
I had even changed Sid to tmob010 after flash when it failed to update with 11111111 sid. Still the same error. I was on gb and had upgraded to ics with the gb to ics for Asian amaze thread here. So, I believe this phone is currently on American version of software. Can this update be performed on this device:(

Never mind. figured it out myself after a few flashes

So as the subject suggest I'm trying to install cool ics rom on my evo 3d cdma hboot 1.58 with a custom recovery rooted with s-off however it installs rather fast restarts and gets hung up at the green HTC logo. I'm sure someone else has had this problem so if someone could point me in the right direction i'd be forever greatful or if anyone has some rom recommendations that are really heavy on performance that would be great too. Im trying to use my evo for gaming. Ive had experience flashing roms before but when something goes wrong like this, I'm clueless.
[HTC EVO 3D] cupliz:
Im on revo 1.40 s off hboot, and i also have bootloop on coolsens...

I though that i dont have supported hboot for ics kernel like coolexe said on 1st page of his forum. But if you on 1.58 hboot and still bootlooping maybe the answear is firmware... Im not sure but you can try... :thumbup:

i'm using straight talk with service from at&t. i'm running AOKP MR1. i've tried multiple combinations of APN's floating around the forum and every single one has eventually prompted me with the notification that says something to the effect of "error downloading message, touch to retry". of course, when i touch the notification it just takes me to the screen to create a new message, not knowing who sent the message to begin with. is there a fool proof APN at this point that i've missed? is it somehow related to AOKP? any help would be appreciated.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Floppy454:
Hey guys. I'm sure somebody here has some experience coding for Android, so I figured you could help me with my search. I am looking for a stock AOSP Xtheme Engine theme for the Galaxy s4. Plenty of themes exist, but few fit the Touchwiz variant. Apparently porting themes from CM is as easy as changing a few lines of code, and from what I've read making them compatible with touchwiz takes only a few more changes. I will link the threads below.

Xtheme Engine themes (with touchwiz discussions on pages 18, not very in depth)

Theme Engine general thread

Hopefully we can get a few themes for the s4 rolling to combat those (me included) who love the features of touchwiz but dislike the design.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] reverepats:
I've personally never heard of this one, but I'm looking into the VRtheme engine which works well with TW. I personally like using a MORPH which is basically what I'm using now. Things on the S4 are quite different compared to the S3. Especially the XMLs. Just to compile the SystemUI.apk requires a workaround. But things should be moving along soon. I just got going tonight myself. But I'll sure take a look at it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] kyhassen:
I agree with you a little on the poor design but I think it's just the colors for me I dont like. I'm a fan of blue and I don't like green as much.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Floppy454:
Now is there a way to apply the themes you did to the power toggles and status bar icons without having to flash an entirely new rom? Or is that what you are working on currently?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] reverepats:
Sure is sir. The Morph zips that I am using should work for all TW ROMs. But I'll be testing that when more are released. But yes, the morphs are universal. Very cool stuff

My gps cant lock without enabling.wireless connections (wifi, 3g). So im asking if someone else is having that problem. Im using 4.1.2 jelly bean
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcgui:
you are not using the gps but its wifi! so i fixed it by:

you can always do the gps antena hack.

i just opened mine and looked for gps contact point

its located above the rear camera.

theres a little coper spring like metal tha conects the main board

to the rear case of the phone.

if you examine it well.

the main reason we cant connect or lock that fast

its because the contact copper is not touching the small antenna on the rear case

that why soldering it or putting some folded paper(easy) bellow that copper spring will fully

push the conntacts between the mobo and ant.

then put it all back in. and try many app for testing gps lock.

i opened mine because its so frustrating that if with0ut this hack gps will lock more than 2-5mins which is b**s***

as i sc it before dou to other problem and they pull my waranty sticker,

so now i can freely open my unit and check things out as well.

now it locks much faster than before. but to tell you

"sgy-young" is way too fast to lock location about 8-15 seconds only!

i fixed my gps, (PLUS!) my:: wifi boost range and network boosted too!

i just solder copper wires inside to do the trick.

so goodluck! and you can do it! no need to use wifi or mobile data.

just pure gps!

it'l be solve, as it solved mine!

goodluck

Hello all,

I have searched high and low on this and many other forums to just find a simple method that actually works to root my Motorola Milestone A853.

All I need to do is root not install custom roms or anything else. I just want the phone rooted so I can overclock it and remove the bloatware too.

Thanks for all your help in advance and I really hope somebody has a simple step by step method. I did not want to try downgrading it 2.1 and then running vulnerable or other such methods. I just want to root it and tinker a little bit. :D

Like the title says is the GS4 worth using my Upgrade or should I wait for something else? I've been on the iPhone for years now I've own several android devices which I still have an hp touchpad running on cyanogenmod 9 nightly on it which is fantastic. What I liked about the iPhone it was just simple and iOS was smooth (starting out with the iPhone 3G vs earlier android devices) now that years has gone by apple is stuck with the same stuff and I'm tired of it. What drew me to the GS4 was all the features it has, but been reading a lot about it and seems most of those features barely works and a lot of people are having problems with it. I would love to get a 32 gig s4 but do you guys think I should wait for something else to come out later this year? I
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] bri315317:
It is definitely worth the upgrade in my own opinion. The battery life excellent. I am getting 6 hrs screen time vs the 8 I got on the note 2. The screen is gorgeous and not too small. Works great 1 handed. Features are a bit gimmicky but I do like the air gesture and air view. The camera was the biggest selling point to me. Feature rich and fantastic images.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Starbuck 0507:
Absolutely, no question in my mind. Battery life is amazing, camera is superb, and even the sound quality out of the speakers is surprisingly excellent. And not to get snarky, but does your iPhone scroll down automatically just by reading your eye motion as you read a webpage? Because my S4 does ;).

I'll put it this way: I'm a mobile dev, and usually the first thing I do with a new mobile device is go home and root it. I was so happy with my S4 that in the week I've had it I haven't had any inclination at all to make any additional customizations. I'll do it eventually to get rid of some of the bloatware, but the UI is so satisfying out of the box that I don't think I'll ever bother adding a custom ROM or anything like that.

Happy shopping!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] got_milk:
Same here. Everything I want this phone to do, it does. I don't have the need to root to gain any features that isn't there in stock firmware.

Beyond that, I'm pretty much just echoing the sentiments of those above. Battery life is excellent (today I'm getting about 6 hours screen on time with an hour of voice calls and plenty of WiFi usage), the hardware is just fantastic and I'm even warming up to TouchWiz, which I hated in the past. It's nice to be able to use my phone and not instantly worry about how I'm affecting my battery life for the rest of the day.

I currently have the .PIT file downloaded and I have the stock ROM downloaded and I put them in the PIT section and PDA section respectively. I have the following options checked: Re-Partition, Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time, and Phone Bootloader Update.

I had a similar problem and got the device to stop bootlooping by restoring a nandroid. Also, try using Heimdall; whenever my Galaxy Player got bricked, Heimdall saved me :) Odin is horrible and I pray that I'll never have to use it again.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] thewrongstuff:
I had Paranoid Android here: (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2083052) installed and it worked fine. Then, I attempted to install the PAC-man ROM here: (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2235446) but the problem occurred when I installed the Sultan Kernel and then I installed the Intl-Kernel-4-19_iurnait.zip from his download link which he said not to install. I never actually installed the ROM. That is when all of these problems occurred.

To attempt to fix this problem, I used Heimdall to flash the stock ROM, and Kernel, using the appropriate .PIT file. It said that it installed correctly, but I could only get into recovery mode and download mode although the recovery screen changed after installing the new Kernel.

For your second question, I attempted wiping data and various caches but that hasn't worked.

I must also note that I have been spending hours trying to fix it and although I am by no means an expert with computers and android devices, I am usually good about following directions (except when I broke the SGP)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] thewrongstuff:
This was one of those moments when I realized the importance of a nandroid backup which I never made for some stupid reason. I have also used Heimdall to successfully install the Kernel I think because I can change what recovery mode looks like when I flash a new kernel and rom, but it will never boot no matter which caches I clear or whatever else I do in recovery mode. It has been more useful than Odin3, but I have been trying to use that because that is what most of the tutorials use. Also, I am using the Samsung cable that came with the SGP and I plugged it into a USB port directly in the motherboard if that matters (some say it does).

So I saw your video. I realized that that really isn't my problem. I used the wrong terminology. While it does bootloop when in charging mode with the battery icon, it just hangs at the Samsung logo if it is not being charged.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
So you can get it in to download mode but when you go to flash it hangs at setting up connection.

Are you sure that you are in download mode? If I remember correctly Odin will detect your device in any mode but will only work in download mode.

In my experience communicating over USB through a virtual machine is sketchy at best. I personally think it would be a better to install ubuntu using wubi if you want and installation that doesn't affect your current system and that you can easily uninstall.
