[General Questions and Answers] dax702:
I'm still trying to get the bottom line on using a Chinese made smartphone with T-Mobile in the USA. I'm already aware there is no 4G support in those phones. I really don't need 4G.

All of the Chinese smartphones I've seen seem to carry the same spec:

Network frequency: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz WCDMA 850/2100MHz

A T-Mobile live chat person provided me this link: support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4987

They said that the phone MUST support both 1700 and 2100MHz bands to get 3G service. That statement implies the chinese phones won't get 3G speeds.

Someone on this forum made the statement that T-Mobile was in the process of migrating their 2G and 3G service to the 850 and 1900MHz bands which would indicate that a phone with the above specs would get 3G speed. So who is correct? Is anyone using any of the Chinese brand phones with T-Mobile in the USA? What's your experience been?

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzeig:
thanks alot. btw, is it possible to go back to stock from custom rom (ie cm10.1) using single firmware.

coz, i need to flash multipack fw first (from cusrom) before flashing lastest stock, on mini.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
Be careful the rom I posted was for Galaxy Ace!!!

Yes, It's possible, I don't know in mini ... this is the GT-S5830 Q&A THREAD so...

but the fastest way to go back to stock is doing a backup before to use the custom, and then restoring it when you want to go back via custom RECOVERY, or FALSHING A FRESH STOCK ROM VIA ODIN ;)

...and in Galaxy Ace it's possible to use directly the lastest firmware, "one package fw" ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzeig:
i know, im using ace right now.

the thing is i was failed revert back to stock using one pack firmware (on mini). am bit afraid it happens to ace either. but now it's all clear, thanks for all ur helps.

edit: whoaa, we can backup stock on ace, it s not recommended on mini. thanks again.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
well, the best way to avoid all kind of troubles is flashing a fresh stock via Odin ;)

I'm using a bareboned stock rom, I deleted all useless apps etc and I chaged the kernel and stock partitions from .rfs to .ext4, so I have a clean backup ready to restore in my SDCARD, so I can flash whatever I want, and then when I get tired I can always return to my clean previous rom ;) and I don't need to use Odin :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzeig:
am a noob so...

1. change the kernel? even for lastest fw?

2. how to change the.rfs partition?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
well... you can change the kernel, deodex your rom, change .rfs partition format to .ext4 format and add more tweaks, barebone your rom... (not for a noob way) or the easiest way!! you can flash a based stock rom with ALL this changes done e.g. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1534804 ;)

I need to know which apps are included in /system. The problem is that there isn't enough free space in /system in this rom so we could use a script to delete whatever app in this partition that allow us to push su.apk and the binaries :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzeig:
i read those threads.

so all i need to do is changing the updater-script, and delete unuseful system apps, right?

man, your so helpful. thanks a lot.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
Yeah, it's because I needed to know about your useless apps ;) m but you can modify the script too ;)

I've posted in the other thread how to add to the script how to mount /system auntomatically :)

You're welcome dude! ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzeig:
i got my phone rooted. ur magical zip works great. once again thank you.

now, i got 50+ mb free space in /system.

i just tried backingup via cwm, it said error mounting the system, bla, bla...

so, next question is how to backup this rom?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
you can try mounting manually /system :) and then doing the backup ;)

go to mount and system >>> mount /system >>> back >>> backup and restore >>> backup ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzeig:
already tried to mount /system manually but no luck: "error mounting the system".

what i have to do?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
mm I guess what is your problem :)

maybe .rfs format , so try to convert your partitions to .ext4 partition, It would solve your problem ;)

use CF-Root-S5830_ext4-v1.3u3.apk to convert .rfs to .ext4 format ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzeig:
is this the correct kernel: CF-Root-S5830-v3.7-b84.zip?

edit: i think i did it right. now ive converted it to .ext4.

ive backed it up too, and it works.

my next question, where is a2sd script located, am bout to change it to int2ext4 (i didnt find it in init.d folder)?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
Wooow I'm glad!! I'm a wiseman xDDD

---------- Post added at 05:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 AM ----------

Well you need a custom kernel to get an init.d folder or create it on yourself but the easy way, flash cf-root b84, BE 1.5.1. or whatever kernel you want, and you'll get an init.d folder support, so you'll be able to flash the int2ext script without any kind of problem ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzeig:
i believe you are, how bout removing a2sd i've mentioned before...

edit: mmm... i found a2sd uninstaller zip, i ll give it a go..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
Install a Terminal Emulator app and type this code

a2sd remove

But it is not compulsory to install int2ext script, at least if you didn't flash darktremor script to activate app2sd ;)

It's not an issue. That's the way navbar works. There are hundreds ways to solwe this. At first why using stock gallery ? (try QuickPic). Most of the custom roms has navbar hide/expanded desktop toggle. There is also plenty of apps (reqesting root) that can turn the bar on and of.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelshort:
Because my SGTab SCH-i800 has a problem with the internal memory, I need to boot and operate ROMs from the external SD card. I've followed the instructions in this thread for booting CM10.1 nightlies from the SD card:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/33743-external-sd-card-only-guide/

Incidentally, here's a screenshot of the error I have (E: failed to mount /data):

While CM10.1 is nice, I'd also like to install other ROMs as well, booting from the SD card. In the above referenced rootzwiki thread, the instructions say to modify a couple of lines in the "update.sh" file in the rom:

"Download your ICS / JB ROM of choice, unzip it and open update.sh

Edit both line 31 and 35 to be as bellow

SD_PART='/dev/block/mmcblk0p3'

Save and zip back."

I've tried to do this with several ROMs and when flashing it immediately says "Installation aborted." and the flash fails. What else do I need to do to modify ROMs to flash and boot from the external SD card? Give me the idiot's guide version of instructions...

Thanks in advance.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] steve austin:
i have searched high and low looking for an answer to this issue, but no concrete - proven - answer. Before rooting my phone i had no issue with my sms. my initial root kept me with a stock ROM so i did not imagine any problems, but that's when it started. Since then i have switched to two different ROMs and the problem still persists. I have wiped caches, switched to 3rd party sms apps - the works - and no resolution. For about two weeks, after fixing permissions, the sms ran flawlessly...now i get the error again. I am using jedi 13 master ROM right now. Can someone help me get this resolved once and for all? Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
You wiped caches, but did you factory reset between ROMs?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] steve austin:
yup. i am using Jedi master 12 now. For reasons i can not fully articulate, i can not upgrade each ROM without starting fresh. Therefore i have reset the phone at least three times and the problem still persists.

All I can say is starting fresh can't hurt factory reset wipe all caches and download a pre-rooted ROM either teshxxs or Mr Robinson's no trip and on Odin

thanks, but it is clear that a factory reset alone is not the answer in this particular case. i just don't know what triggers the error. its so random and annoying.

I followed the HTCDev site for unlocking my phone. Before locking it back, I flashed the clockwork from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2113671

I tried to make a backup from there but it was unable to mount system or much of anything. It made some level of backup but I am unable to get to it anyway.

I tried locking the bootloader but it said there was a security warning and wouldn't let me back into recovery so I unlocked it again. In recovery I tried to use the flash from zip option but it was unable to mount the sdcard

Haven't had this issue with my S3 yet. Running stock 4.1.2 JB with ADW Launcher.. what service provider are you currently using?
[Galaxy S III General] ceasee:
Have you tried a factory reset? or a different ROM?

Even before that, wiping cache's?

If you're looking for help, more detail needed. If your venting, I agree with Choristav. No offense intended.
[Galaxy S III General] ManuC84:
Which problem you mean, the call issue or the micro sdcard issue? I am running stock 4.1.2 jb and i have orange. The worst is that these problems start on their own all of the sudden with no previous warning. It drives one insane because it's so hard to pinpoint what happened and how to fix it.
[Galaxy S III General] dusty1268:
Sorry.. The calling issue. I would make a call and it wouldn't make a dial or ringing tone and there was no sound coming from the speaker. This isn't happening on my S3. It was was happening on my old LG phone.. it was running stock 2.3 gingerbread of course, but it was surely mind boggling.
[Galaxy S III General] ManuC84:
I am sorry but I read the rules and didn't see anything that said that no venting was allowed here, this is a general forum and in most forums general means general chat, venting included, or anything else that doesn't fit in more specific boards. Now regarding your question I didn't do wiping nor factory reset but I did reinstall the Jelly bean ROM I am using, and also I tried reinstalling the modem making sure it was the right one. I didn't do more because I've read in the big "no sound during calls" thread that those methods haven't solved most users' issues so far so seems like a waste of time. Anyway spending my time fixing the phone is my idea of a good time. I've had it for one year btw.
[Galaxy S III General] ManuC84:
I have that happen and then suddenly signal drops to nothing and I get a circle with a crossed line symbol for a few seconds until it comes back.

[Galaxy S III General] dusty1268:
I have heard of signal problems due to cases but not too common.. just using process of elimination. Also, that's a pain you lost your SD Card.. maybe try banking up your stuff on your phone and doing a clean wipe? Factory reset?
