[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stovemeister:
Hi all,

Tearing my hair out here (and I have SFA left anyway)

My Father-in-law's SGS i9000 seems to have real issues. Initially problem I was having was that there was an app I could not uninstall- it would reappear on reboot. I initially suspected malware or such, but it appears to be a real problem with the internal memory. I had MIUI installed on it, but wanted to change to a more stock ROM.

First time I really started to worry was when I found that every time I put a new rom onto the internal sdcard, it disappeared at reboot (and thus wasn't there to install when rebooted into CWM)

Since then, haven't had a functioning phone.

adb push to sdcard still not persistent on reboot.

Cannot flash new ROM with ODIN either, although KERNEL changes, filesystem no longer mounts.

I think the version of MIUI I was using used an ext4 lagfix, as inside an adb shell, I can see the partitions:

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

a "print" lists two partitions:

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags

1 32.8kB 14.4GB 14.4GB primary fat32 lba

2 14.4GB 16.4GB 2013MB primary ext4 lba

rm 1, rm 2

to try to delete the partitions and start again- doesn't work. Nothing happens

If I load partition 2 into parted:

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

print

Model: Unknown (unknown)

Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0p2: 2013MB

Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

Partition Table: loop

Number Start End Size File system Flags

1 0.00B 2013MB 2013MB ext4

Can;t check any partitions as ext4 isn't supported by parted.

I cannot remove any partitions, reformat them or anything.

e2fsck errors as it cant read superblock flags on any of the partitions.

Any other ideas? Anyone?

I don't want to toss the phone out :(

i dont know if this will help u but u can try this guy instruction. See link above
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stovemeister:
If that worked, it would have been just what I was looking for :)

I googled the hell out of this problem, and that one never came up, but others I'd seen led me to try that same plan.

Where it fails on my device, is that deleting the partitions in "parted" fails- rm1 followed by rm 2 to delete the partitions. "Print" reveals they're still there.

Any other partition tools worth trying?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stovemeister:
I got it back to square one:

Flashed kernel thru Odin with a version of CWM that worked.

reboot into recovery.

Flash update from SDcard- card contents still the same, so could re-flash MIUI.

reboot, bootloop. Re-enter CWM recovery and reflash.

Back to Square One - MIUI 1.12.16 (JVK)

Cannot install anything - nothing is persistent after reboot, even WIFI settings disappear
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stovemeister:
If it is any help to anyone who knows what they're talking about:

Now that MIUI boots I can look at the filesystem better.

Can anyone point me in the direction of what I should be looking for/trying to do to figure out what is wrong here?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stovemeister:
Mine seems to be a bit tougher than these solutions can deal with.

Tried assorted ROMs over past day. No install works.

Cannot install anything from internal memory, as nothing dropped into that card will remain after a reboot.

Installing anything from an external card just throws up bootloops etc- as the only thing that seems to be able to retained between boots is the kernel/CWM.

If I install a new ROM, first flash says partition table is incompatible and /data will be overwritten (no problems, nothing on it). I accept the inevitable and re-select the ROM.

Reboot bootloops, as expected, reboot into CWM (now a new version with the Kernel), try reflashing the ROM image- Error 0 or 7. Try from External Memory- same. Try sideloading image. Same. All I can do is re-flash the MIUI image on internal SDcard (which works)

It looks like the internal memory refreshes itself from a recovery image at each boot? (I think).

Anyway- can't get anything to stick, except MIUI

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stovemeister:
Good suggestion :) Logical

I'd thought that also- The JB kernels should support ext4.

No joy though

The version of CWM recovery that is stable with the MIUI install is 5.0.2.7, and it doesn't have any voodoo/lagfix options

When I flash a kernel with a CWM with lagfix, and try to use the CWM lagfix toggles, nothing changes.

Doesn't matter what I select inside CWM, it reads the status from memory as "Lagfix on, Debug off"

The reason I asked about ext4 tools in ADB is that running filesystem commands in a shell just throws up errors I can't seem to fix.

e2fsck just throws up superblock errors (on both /dev/block/mmcblk0 and the partition /dev/block/mmc0p2.

Defining one of the backup superblocks doesn't help- they're all bad.

"parted" doesn't work anymore (i note it isn't in /sbin, so I am picking this kernel doesn't install it), but even when I did have it, "parted" doesn't support ext4. Using "rm" to remove a partition did exactly nothing.

Starting to think the only way forward would possibly be flashing a custom .pit file to define partitions that move the data off an obviously bad block? Above my skill level however LOL

i was using this rom perfectly, till i tried to change the font.

i read on the web,saying that what you need to do is to change DroidSans.ttf DroidSans-Bold.ttf DroidSansFallback.ttf ( i am a chinese user) these three fonts and their permission, and reboot, everything will be done. but when i do that, my phone stuck on the HTC ONE logo screen. so i had to recover it.i took a close look at the /system/fonts, and i realize DFHEIA7A.ttf DFHEIA5A.ttf and DroidSansFallback.ttf are all chinese fonts file. so, at this point i am not sure what should i do.

I am running cyanogenmod10.1 on my galaxy s2. It is a wild for the night (nightly unofficial ROM) with 4.2.2 jelly bean build. I love the new ROM but can't believe the stock cyanogenmod kernel can't be over clocked. Anyways I've been looking at kernels that support 4.2.2 and tried to flash lean kernel(and a couple others) in recovery mode. It does a couple things in recovery then says install complete but when I reboot I still have stock cm10.1 kernel! Can somebody please help and I am also open to suggestions for kernels because I want one that runs like the one I have but can be OC'd. THANK YOU!

[General Questions and Answers] AndroiDisCracK:
Yea I wiped both but I wanted to have it to maybe save battery at times(like the lean kernel

) where i can OC at other times. But im starting to think they were bad kernel downloads because i flashed dream kernel and it worked. The site said it supports both JB and ICS but an ICS screen came up in recovery and would not allow reboot or restore to CM10 so I restored to origional s2 rom(running ICS) then reflashed rom and Gapps then restored to CM10 backup so at least I got to where I started XD but thanks

It was getting annoying so i decided to root the phone to get this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1748803 I accidently used a version for an older firmware (im on stock 4.2.2) and i flashed it onto my phone and it worked good until it got stuck on "Android is upgrading...

Can somebody please help me?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CRIME INC.:
While your waiting for a response, research adv and the push commands. All you need to do is push a ROM to your internal storage for you to flash. And make a back up as soon add you get back up and running. They're a life saver

Thanks. Just used a nexus toolkit flash the stock back on it and now its working. I think i'll put cyanogen on it now hope it doesnt get stuck again!

[Nexus 7 General] japzone:
This is an odd problem for me. I really love the Lux Auto-Brightness app and use it all the time but I've been having this issue that's now preventing Lux from doing it's job. Third-party app control of Screen Brightness doesn't work. If I go into the Android settings and change the brightness from there it works fine but every single Third-party app I try can't control my brightness. I can't even control the Screen Brightness from within MXPlayer anymore and that was working fine as well. I've thought maybe something is wrong with Lux but uninstalling and rebooting didn't fix anything. Does anybody have any ideas what's causing this?

What kernel/ROM are you using?
[Nexus 7 General] japzone:
I'm running rooted Stock 4.1.2 with only mod being the change of dpi to 160. I've made no other mods.
[Nexus 7 General] kieso:
Stupid question but did you try changing the dpi back to the original setting? If so and it didn't change anything I would just do a dirty flash of stock rom. Changing dpi can screw up a lot of things.
[Nexus 7 General] japzone:
Changing the dpi didn't help. Doing a dirty flash is an idea but I'd prefer trying something less extreme before doing that. It'd be a pain to re-setup root and things just to get brightness control fixed. At that point I'd probably just move on to a Custom ROM.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Siddhesh Sapre:
Respected all the Rom developers and/or advanced users,

The ROMS which are currently being release by all are carrying he walkman app.However everyone kows here thatany walkman app doesnt work good w.r.t. sound output quality on the speaker mode(headphones work good,perhaps excellent in walkman as there are various modes available in it).Now the time has come to develop the walkman app which can perform as good as stock music player on XPERIA Mini Pro sk17i and XPERIA Mini st15i.I cannoot tell you to remove all walkman appfeatures because other features like movies,album etc. are good.So please work on this if possible(I have personally tried many ROMS from this developer community,and they are good.I only wish to make out the faults because many of the apps can damage the speaker).Also i liked the BoostMyXperia app.One more thing,LED Control is not needed.The Ultimate LED Notification fix if it has been included in the rom(deodexed),then why do you need to include LED control(not criticizing anyone here,but the Ultimate LED Notification fix is excellent enough).And finally,personally,i feel that Timescape is better app than social life.What do you think guys?.And the most important thing,if anyone can,please try to include the CRT OFF ANIMATION.

Thanks

3 as in a different thing then you being able to set sms and email msg sound in sounds and notifications ?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Anton.Valleyman:
If you'd done a search on previous posts - not something people wish to always do but these were covered SOO many times...

1 - Pressing down the dial button will redial the last number used

2 - Holding down the dial button when making a call brings speakermode. That is also in the XDA manual.

3 - You can set different message tones and replace virtually ALL sounds by going to the sounds option in settings on the phone. This is also in the manual (which is also available via download from o2's site or similar).

Cheers

[Galaxy S III Accessories] elementaldragon:
In regards to what monitors are good for hooking up a samsung device..... i'd have to say any monitor that natively supports MHL via an HDMI port. Probably your best bet there. Chances of finding any relatively decent monitor that would work well, and happens to be battery powered... slim to none, and even if you did find one, probably at a rather crappy res. They do have 1920x1080 displays that are powered by USB (and by that i mean powered by, and the display is output via USB)... but the ability to use that or not would all fall down to whether or not it'd be supported by the phone... and if i had to guess, the chances of that are quite slim.

Hi..

In earlier Play store versions when I try to buy something it shows me what are my options once I buy an app e.g. I can get a refund after 15 minutes or if I have already purchased an app but returned it because of any problem it shows that this app can't be refunded. Same thing happens in In-App purchases as it shows me that In-App purchases won't be refunded.

However in new Play Store v4.1.6, I can't seem to find this option anywhere, once I select buy it just shows my Payment option and nothing about my refund policy.

If you're S-on you have to flash the kernel separately from the ROM. Some ROM's include an S-on kernel installer for easy flashing. Check out the guide in my sig for info on how to do this:cool:

How did you flash the recovery? If you flashed a pj75img.zip maybe also try reflashing the recovery via fastboot.

Put the appropriate recovery.img in the same directory as your fastboot exe.

Open command propmt

Fastboot flash recovery (name of your recovery).img

I make sure that my recovery.img is named just that "recovery.img" . Helps with any confusion. Make sure it's not "recovery.img.img" as windows likes to hide extensions...
