[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelori:
recovery mode

into recovery mode now. getting E:can't mount/cache/recovery/command no files found. this is where the nightmare began a couple of days ago. i've got smoothieJB, broodROM and others on the SDcard. but can't read any.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktulu84:
that message is normal, you have the roms in external sd or internal? if they are in external sd you have to search with "internal sd" option (is an error, internal sd shows you the content of external sd and sd shows you the content of internal one). make a factory reset and then try to flash one of the rom you have on your sd (if you can find them), if you want 4.1.2 rom i suggest you ivendor's one
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelori:
keep getting a can't find

first off THANKS!!!!!! second. keep getting a no files found message. i know they're there. so what are you suggesting?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktulu84:
Mmm... Do you have an external SD? If so put it in your PC and download a ROM, put on the SD and try again

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelori:
Mmm

Mmm is what i've been saying for days. i put the zip file ROM on the SD from my pc. then i put the SD card into the phone. but the result is always the same. i'm wondering if there are some drivers missing? it all seems so straightforward but it doesn't work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktulu84:
no, is not some driver... try to format your extternal sd, then put the rom on it again, if it doesn't work try to flash another recovery , you can try this one, it is an odin package, so you can flash this the same way you flashed the other one http://d-h.st/beP
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelori:
Mmm (cont)

ok. it found the file and gave me an "installing" message. now i'm in an endless reboot loop. i've got to leave this for a few hours now - unfortunately! gotta go to work - and i'll try your other suggestion above. thanks again for walking me through this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktulu84:
did you make a factory reset? it's the first thing to do when you have a bootloop
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelori:
bootloop

well after a few hours of work, came back, did the factory reset and all and it continues to give me the "reboot system now" command. i do it and get the samsung name, followed by the samsung galaxy s plus logo and then back to the reboot command/recovery mode.

what now?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktulu84:
so your phone bootloop in recovery? if so you have to follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24831012&postcount=1330
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktulu84:
it works?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelori:
it works?

nope. now i've got a fixed samsung galaxy s plus gt-i9001 with a new feature: cyanogen (mod). nothing else happens.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktulu84:
if you can go in recovery (you have still cwm 6.0.1.0?) try to wipe data and reflash rom, maybe something went wrong... when you installed the rom the process gone well or the phone shutdown while flashing? you said that you got "installing" message but you didn't say anything about an end message, it should tell you something when it finish

EDIT: are you italian? if you are italian we can continue this in PM and in italian :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelori:
are you italian?

no i'm not. but i live in italy. in the end, i flashed broodROM. with SmoothieJB i couldn't get out of the bootloop.

THANKS so much for people walking me through.

only one problem left: can't get any of my old apps to show up on the phone. when i go to google play, it says [uploaded] but it doesn't appear anywhere on the phone.

i thought i had flashed gapps-jb sometime over the last couple of days but who knows. what's should I do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktulu84:
Gapps are deleted when you flash a new ROM, btw why smootiejb? Is OLD and unmantained, it has a terrible battery drain, trust me... Broodrom is way better

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelori:
why smoothieJB

i couldn't get out of a bootloop when i flashed SmoothieJB. out of desperation i flashed BroodROM. shall i tempt fate and start everything over? i'm feeling brave.:eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktulu84:
you only need to download gapps package from the thread of your rom and install it from recovery, do not need to wipe or else :D broodrom is a good choice, hope you downloaded the last version, they say it is really good
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelori:
BroodROM

ok. what do i need to do? can you give me a step-by-step?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktulu84:
tell me what version are you using, is broodrom jellybean? if so (but it is good even for other jellybean 4.1.2 roms) you have to download this http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip, go in recovery and flash this file (like you did for the rom), then you have to reboot the phone
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelori:
leaving broodrom - did the rest

Thanks guys for all your help. though someone said broodrom wasn't the best i'm leaving it for now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktulu84:
Broodrom is very good indeed!

disappointed

after some weeks, i'm a little disappointed with this change. the phone is incredibly slow, battery use is way up and the phone frequently blocks or shuts down when doing normal things like messaging with whatsapp or searching the internet. not being much of a techy, i'm thinking i did something wrong. maybe i have to start over.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crashnburn85:
I am currently using a Galaxy S3 SCH-I535, stock, unrooted, and have noticed decreased battery performance over-time. I have already viewed many similar threads to try and pinpoint particular issues (wakelocks, troublesome apps, etc.). I was hoping for some perspective whether my battery life is up to snuff.

I have seen many describe their phone life with ~3+ hours of screen time with moderate usage. I use my phone intermittently throughout the work day to chat (Text messages, Hangouts), check e-mail, and band rowse the internet. I do not use Wi-fi, aside from when I am home in the morning or at night, and make sure to turn it off if not connected to a network. I have sync turned on, but the only accounts I have syncing are Google Now and Gmail. I have location services/GPS/Bluetooth turned off, and run in Power Saving mode with brightness at ~50% and haptic feedback turned on. My reception is subpar, usually about 2 bars and spotty 4g connections at work. I do not stream music, play games, or watch videos during typical use. No facebook, weather apps, etc. that can be culprits some times. At best, with the usage habits described, it is typical that I get 2 hours screen time over a single day (~16 hrs) before I get in the single digit batter %.

I've attached some screen shots I took of battery stats at ~50% drained (I didn't get a screen grab for it but at that battery % I had probably 1:05 to 1:15 hours of screen time). I just started using Wakelock Detector to find any problem apps - after tweaking some apps last week this has been pretty typical behavior. I have even swapped batteries with my wife's S3 to see if it was a battery problem, but did not notice a difference.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Are my expectations for battery life too high? Is this typical, or am I running lower than I should be?

Hello again. Im interested to flash custom kernel for stock rooted ICS. . It would be easier for me if we had a CDMA version

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2175191&page=47

But i have GSM with s_ON and 1.53 HBOOT ...

Does anyone have experience with that what i need?
[HTC EVO 3D] TzarD:
Anyone?
[HTC EVO 3D] thewraith420:
I'm no pro on the subject and know even less about the gsm version but you should be able to flash a compatible kernel with flash image gui off the market or free from his thread on xda. I don't have a link at the moment but Google is your freind.
[HTC EVO 3D] TzarD:
I know but obviously there is no compatible kernel for GSM stock ICS i couldnt find it here

Yoda's Kernel

ButteredToast

both kernels are compatible with stock ics but for ButteredToast s-off is required. Not sure about Yoda. you should ask in the dev thread for more info
[HTC EVO 3D] TzarD:
Gratitudes.

But i dont want to do soff. i just dont like method with wires.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zero Computing:
Wires? I used a paperclip. It actually is very easy. Second try on my old EVO 3D succeeded second try on my wife's. I think you should give it a try. Its really not that scary. Might be worth the kernel.
[HTC EVO 3D] TzarD:
I dont have nerves for that im just curious for if it works with s on.
[HTC EVO 3D] TzarD:
I had done it on myself. Installed latest Coolexes ROM with Kernel via 4ext recovery and i didnt done soff .but u must have unlocked bootloader. Its important to have smart flash enabled in 4ext REcovery he will ask u when u install it via market(absolutely no need to do it via cmd). First do nandroid backup in in then flash ROM. For now phone is doing ok there is a little more heating but its understandable. Quadrant result is 3256 i guess its very good for this phone my previous was around 2000. Its not so important to me i just wanted to see what this phone chipset can do then normal. I guess this can be useful to someone...Cheers

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] adwitmishra17@gmail.com:
Hi guys..

I was an owner of samsung galaxy s2(i9100) and then I moved to the amazing xperia TX.

It is an amazing device as compared to galaxy s2.

However,i do miss the customization choices of the s2 as the TX does not has sufficient developer support as the s2.

Many xperia TX owners root the phone but fear unlocking the bootloader as they fear loosing drm keys,bravia engine,track id etc so they stay away from unlocking the bootloader.

So I thought to create a thread where we can discuss what to do in our devices after rooting so that we can get the most out of our devices:):):)

We can have some discussions on root apps,some mods without unlocking the bootloader,system mods etc..:)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] adwitmishra17@gmail.com:
Want cm like themes on your Rooted TX?

This is a great mod that I came across.

All credits go to the developer of the "xtheme engine":)

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thedisturbedone:
Superior power saving features by using apps such as Greenify and One Power Guard.

Extensive backup and restore functions using Titanium Backup.

Manual system modifications by having access to the root directory. Endless possibilities :)

Also I used to think that there isn't much development here compared to the previous Samsung phone I had. But to be honest, I am quite happy with the stock Rom. So I don't complain. Occasionally I shift to a CM 10.1 release but then come back to my stock rom. So there is actually not much that devs can do to improve an already full featured rom. This is my opinion. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] adwitmishra17@gmail.com:
Hi,

U r right..

When I used a samsung,i always used a sony theme on cm.

But now on sony stock rom,i never felt the need to change to any other rom:D

Sony's jelly bean is the best...:)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Rycon33:
Yeah, XthemeEngine is great, if you haven't tried already, try it. :)

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] arctic02:
i tried pimp my rom, but only used the touched velocity something.. i feel my touch ain't that responsive, not due to the kernel though , but maybe due to the screen guard.. not sure
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] adwitmishra17@gmail.com:
Hi mate,

Just dont apply tweaks that u "think" would make any effects...apply the the tweaks for the feature u want on your phone..:):)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SammiSaysHello:
Funny thing is, the majority of mods on pimp my rom, we already have on our xperia phones anyways, so there isn't really much to do with it in the end :p

As for what I do after rooting, I install TB and remove all bloatware, and then leave it as it is because there's not much need for extra mods/tweaks and all that :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] arctic02:
hello..

what do mean?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] adwitmishra17@gmail.com:
Hi,

I mean just apply the mods for the changes you "need" on your device.

For example,if we apply the mod "pimp my beats" we can get good quality audio output from our headphones.

I have bravia engine 2 and beats audio installed in my TX and they work really well..:):):)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] adwitmishra17@gmail.com:
Hi mate,

I agree with your point..but there are still many mods for pimping our rom:)

We can have build.prop tweaks,init.d support etc.

Me too have not made many tweaks in my TX with "pimp my rom" but there are still many mods which we can apply...:)

Cheers!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jasmnjosh:
Okay, so, yes I'm a noob. I've been up literally all night trying to figure out why my signal did not connect after flashing Synergy for my SGH-T999.

So I read a thread saying to do a full wipe, back up then reflash the rom. (I still did custom installation with zigggy kernel, so i'm unsure if it is the kernel or not)

My second time flashing the Synergy Rom I have signal but says 3G and H+ ... i have a 4G data connecton and it does browse pretty fast but the most bars I get in my house at 1-3 and normally i get atleast 4, and constant 4G connection.

I'm unsure if it is necessary to flash a Radio. In the past I've bricked my phone and screwed up the signal permanently by flashing the wrong radio, lost my RSA keys etc.

I dont want to make the same mistake twice so here I am.

EDIT: After all that time I find http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...e-why-dose-my-new-rom-say-h-h-instead-4g.html

From what i understand H+ doesnt mean anything? Its just the Rom being more accurate instead of saying 4G? Is this true?

It also does seem like my signal is weaker then before, could flashing a new radio/modem fix this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
The rom showing H is probably ok. Check in the rom thread but some devs did this because its more accurate.

As for signal, as long as you have a T999 model, you can safely flash any modem in my thread. Ive yet to find someone reporting a bricked S3 so long as they read the OPs and follow directions.

Many of us have flashed dozens of times!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jasmnjosh:
Thank you so much sir :) I didnt expect such a quick reply. I will definitely check some modems out, any specific one you recommend? like a universal choice? i might turn into a rom flashaholic x)

EDIT: Wait a minute, i dont have the Wind T999, i have the regular T999. Your thread says "Only flash if you have T999V." Will this affect anything?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Actually the thread is for both the T999 and T999V. The T999V modems are towards the bottom and clearly labeled for each of the Canadian carriers.

Dont flash those. Just the ones under the T999 heading. Theres a bunch.

As far as best one. There is no universal one. Different ones are better for different people. Depends mostly on location which is what the map is there for. See if anyone in your area has posted any results.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jasmnjosh:
Will do! i came upon the UVLI8 and UVMD5, i'll be trying all kinds of them.

But upon trying to put this onto my phone via USB. My computer is not detecting my phone, this was working the first time i flashed the Synergy rom. -_- Do i have to reflash again? I have all samsung drives, kies, debugging enabled. ive tried it in different ports and with debugging off and on, rebooted my pc and phone. Definitely an after effect of reflashing.Any advice? Im searching all over currently, if i find anything ill post here
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KunoMochi:
I've had something similar happen on my phone. After a flash, it started failing to detect the phone correctly.

Try disconnecting your phone from your PC, uninstall the Samsung USB driver on PC, then re-connect your phone.

It should start installing a new set of drivers for your phone and get it running again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I would uninstall kies from the compyter and install the USB drivers only. See the link in my sig if you need them.

Personally I forego the cable and use a wireless ftp transfer app. My favorite one used to be called SwiFTP. Its now in the store just cslled FTP Server. Theres a fully functional demo you can try too.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jasmnjosh:
Advice taken from both of you i now have AirDroid and will be looking up SwiFTP as soon as my phone boots.

I had just fixed the issue, upon this thread http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/626480-s3-charges-via-usb-but-not-recognised-pc.html

KUDOS AND CREDITS TO Nacos from xda!

"1. Uninstall any previous instance of Kies/USB driver

2. Download the latest Kies, specific to your S3.

3. Download Samsung USB drivers 1.4.6.0 (I've tried newer versions but they all failed)

4. REBOOT

5. Disconnect from internet (VERY IMPORTANT!!! - forcing Windows to install local drivers ONLY)

6. With the phone disconnected, install Kies + USB drivers downloaded in steps 2,3

7. Connect the phone and let Windows install the drivers.

8. Reestablish the internet connection. "

Also as a bonus i was told to power off my device, take out the battery, SD and SIM and insert again and reboot.

Upon all these steps phone fully detected on windows as soon as drivers installed (with internet connection disabled)

P.S. No matter if i restored from a backup created before this problem, it would not be detected thats how i knew it was a driver issue.

I can't download the OTA on my phone for some weird reason, I want to put the newest OTA on my phone but can't seem to find the update file. I found the one provided by Beans but I would like to find a truly stock version with no root etc.

Any help would be great

Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
I really dont know of one, the easiest and best way to do it would be to unlock and flash the one by Beans. That way if you ever wanted to go to another rom you could and you would be unlocked and could add things like the lidroid toggles and kernels. Someone else may have the update but I dont know if it was ever posted.
