Hi,

Wow what a wonderful place. Thank you all, you wonderful people out here.

[MENTION=660462]redpoint73[/MENTION]- can you please help me with the link of where to get better ROM for my device? And the procedure to install.

PS: I have a prior experience of flashing a custom ROM from Cyanogenmod for my Motorola Cliq XT. So that should essentially be same.

Also, to mention here, when I reboot to recovery mode, I could see Clockwork Mod Recovery already present. And using the Backup option of the recovery, I have already taken a full backup of the device, just in case..

I am looking forward to a better ROM for this device. Hope someone helps with some options.

Also, there were some few terms those are new to me like S-Off, SuperCID, don't bother to explain but one help- Is my phone ready to be flashed with a custom ROM or RUU ?

Do let me know?

To all wonderful people out here.

Best Regards,

Saabir

Dont go deep into s-off and stuff

here is the link for your ruu

http://androidfiles.org/ruu/getdown....03_2_10.111.32.28L_release_275277_signed.exe

goto bootloader mode.. connect to pc.. and run this file

here is the link for stable stock htc sense 4+ rom

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390248398092763379

goto recovery, factory reset.. wipe dalvik cache.. and cache

install the rom.. reboot

done!

I sure can: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671237

If you used Clockworkmod on your previous phone, its no different on the One XL. Just download the ROM either direct to the phone, or transfer from your PC to the phone. Then boot into recovery. Factory reset (in recovery only,

not

in bootloader) wipe cache, wipe Dalvik, select the ROM, and flash it. Reboot and enjoy.

But I would also look at the CWM version, and post it here. There was an older, unofficial port that caused some serious issues for some folks. But the "official" supported version is just great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karothacker:
So yesterday morning I went to turn on my phone, but nothing happened. It was on the charger all night so it should have been a full battery.

Here are my symptoms:

1) AC plugged in without battery - Phone's screen turns on for a second, turns off, and then repeats.

2) AC plugged in with battery - Phone will start to charge (has the loading symbol in the battery), but then turns off immediately. It cannot boot into recovery. It CAN boot into download mode, but my computer will not recognize it to restore the phone with odin.

Any ideas?

I don't have an official upgrade until October, but I'm going to call customer service to try and get them to bump the date up so I can get a new phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
First possibility to suspect is a failed battery. If you know someone else with an s2, ask to borrow their battery temporarily to see if your phone will boot. Or perhaps go to an AT&T store to see if you can borrow a battery.

If it's not the battery, then the next step to try is to boot into download mode with the battery out of the phone to see if Odin will recognize the phone with the battery out. With the battery out of the phone and the USB cable plugged into the computer, hold down the vol down button while plugging the USB cable into the phone. The computer will supply the power. This assumes that you have the proper "Samsung USB driver for mobile phones" installed on your PC.

That's a start.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sfb14:
I am having the same issue with my s2. i had shostock installed on it a few weeks back and it was working fine. then it just stopped working. i tried rebooting but it keeps on going on bootloops. I tried using odin to flash back to stock but no go, just bootloops. kies just dont work for me. i know it isnt the battery cuz i have the charging cradle to charge the battery and the phone goes to odin mode without the battery. Any help is appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
It sounds like you got a successful flash of stock. Boot into recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sfb14:
I just did. Still no boot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
OK. Did the flash to stock succeed? In other words, you got a pass in odin?

Which version of SHOstock was installed, the latest? And which version of stock did you flash?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sfb14:
i flashed SHOstock v3 before all of this happened. i flashed ucle5 stock rooted. battery icon flashes capacitive keys blink over and over again. if i unplug it nothing happens. i may have to try UCKH7 once im done downloading it.

** after flashing KH7, i go to recovery to wipe/factory reset... there is a message saying

Installing Multi-CSC...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
This is sounding a bit like nand read/write corruption, which is fixable. Try this:

1)Go to this post and download the Tar version of Siyah 2.6.14 Kernel. Flash it in PDA without ticking Re-Partitioning.

2) Successful? Nice. Next, flash the full stock Gingerbread distribution from the Download Repository, I777UCKH7 including the bootloaders and everything, in the PDA slot.

3) If that is successful and boots normally you are done. If it is not, then:

4) Download the SBL Bootloader from the Download Repository. Flash it as PDA in ODIN, without ticking Re-Partitioning.

5) Flash the Kernel, as in step 1.

6) Flash the full stock Gingerbread distribution, as in step 2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sfb14:
Will try that later. Thanks for your help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sfb14:
still no luck.. i did everything odin says "PASS" but it just wont boot. i'm going to try and get a different battery and see if that works.

thanks for your help sir. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stuckmoto:
Going through the exact same issue with my kids phone with the same results. Tried creepy's 6 steps, but still no luck.

I think it was caused by my kid killing the battery.

update: got it to boot into custom recovery, then reflashed ROM. It stills acts weird though. Very laggy.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jvick920:
Having a very similar issue here.. Battery icon flashes then black screen. Boot to download mode.. Push up arrow, black screen. Computer does not register device connected.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
It's hard to give any suggestions with this little information. More information would be useful. A lot more information would be more helpful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jvick920:
When I plug then phone in (automatically turns on when plugged in, power button is broken), the battery logo and hardware buttons flash erratically for up to a minute then nothing at all. I've tried different batteries and different cords. The only thing that seems to bring it back to life is letting the phone and battery sit unplugged for 2 weeks up to a month and trying again, but it's very hit or miss. This only seems to happen when the battery completely drains.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
What phone do you have... the AT&T SGH-I777 does not have hardware buttons, but maybe you mean the capacitive buttons which are part of the display? Your previous post was sent from an Infuse? If it's not an I777 then you need a different forum.

If the phone that has the problem is an SGH-I777, then... what firmware is/was it running? Is it rooted? Is USB debugging turned on? Have you been able to boot into download mode since your first post? How long was the power button broken before this problem first manifested?

I think you need to get into download mode and flash stock firmware.

You also may need to see if you can do something about the broken power button, since that may be involved in the problem. That would mean either taking the phone apart and trying to mechanically clean the button or move/press/activate it a lot to get the dirt out so that the problem clears itself, or it may mean getting it replaced.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jvick920:
It is the I777, capacitive buttons is what I meant.. I apologize, I'm still fairly new with terminology.. Yes, I have an Infuse also, it's my backup phone because I can't get the s2 to charge. It is rooted and flashed, running 4.2.2 (Avatar ROM)

The problem is, it isn't holding enough of a charge to do anything. Aside from the previously stated issue, it will go into download mode, but the screen will only stay on for maybe 5 seconds max. The power button has been broken about 6 months before this issue arose. This only started happening about a month ago when I let the battery discharge completely. To test my theory that it's a battery/charging issue, I got a backup battery (which allowed the phone to work again) and I allowed that one to discharge completely. Now I'm having the same issue with both batteries. I was able to get the phone to power on once after letting the phone and battery sit disconnected for about 2 weeks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
What firmware is/was it running?

Is it rooted?

Is USB debugging turned on?

Did it charge the second battery fully more than once?

How long did it operate with the second battery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jvick920:
Firmware is CM 10.1, it is rooted, running AvatarROM. USB debugging and mock locations were turned on. It had no issue charging while it was working, it was after I allowed the batteries to die that I started having issues. Even on the second battery, it would continue operating as long as I kept it charged.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I have never used Cyanogen Mod or any of the other AOSP firmware, and I don't know how the firmware would affect this issue, if at all. But I suspect there may be some link.

I think what you need to do is to flash back to stock firmware, or perhaps use one of the stock plus root packages, and then a custom kernel, and then reload CM 10.1. So try this:

Pull the battery and leave it out. Open Odin3 on the desktop and then while holding down the volume buttons, plug in the usb cable. See if the phone will boot into download mode this way, and if Odin will recognize it. If so, then go ahead and flash the stock of your choosing. I think if it were me, I would flash 4.0.4 UCLL6 plus root.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Holyman8388:
I have a asus tf300t running 4.2.1 with unlocked bootloader and root. I am running twrp v2.5.0.0 and I have already made backups of my apps. I am trying to install a custom rom. Preferably PACman rom but at this point any will do. When I try to flash the rom it go through the whole process then reboots but does not get past the asus splash screen.

What is the problem? Is it that the new bootloader does not accept any custom roms, if so how do I downgrade to 4.1? Otherwise I am open to any advice.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sib64:
You must be on Jelly Bean 4.2.1

with the Asus Stock bootloader 10.6.1.8 and TWRP Recovery patched 2.4.4.0

or

Bootloader 10.1.15.3 and TWRP patched 2.5.0.0

You will find

all versions of Stock firmwares and Stock kernels here

And

the TWRP recoveries here
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Holyman8388:
I am currently running the 10.1.15.3 bootloader and TWRP 2.5.0.0, yet it still does not finish flashing the ROM. I even tried to flash a more simple stock based ROM, ie. black beans 8. This did not work either. It went through the twrp flash and restarted but when it got to the ASUS boot up screen it simply stopped. I waited about 10 minutes for it to possibly load however it never did. So I am restored back to my stock and am awaiting any further help.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwiberg:
In the OP for PACman rom it says you must be on android 4.1.1 to flash his rom. You need to pick a rom for your 4.2.1. I am also on 4.2.1 and run CROMI 4.6.6 with no issues. Have also succesfully tried the Energy rom. Read carefully the OP for the rom's you are considering and make sure they are for 4.2.1
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acroboles:
I am having the same problem! I am running 4.2.1 and im trying to install blackbean 8 using twrp 2.5.0.0. I factory reset in twrp and wipe cache and dalvic. I then install the the rom and reboot but it will not go past the first boot screen with the tegra logo in the bottom right. It always flashes for a second but then does nothing. I have even tried cm 10.1 and it does the exact same thing. I am still able to restore back to stock. This is my first time flashing a rom so any help would be appreciated!:)

For the latest [ROM][4.2.2][ OFFICIAL] PAC-man v23.0.0 [OC up to 1.7GHz][New Update 22/06/2013], if you read the installation process, you need to be 4.1.1 and not 4.2.1 and also you need installed custom recovery for JB 4.1 BL !

For the latest [ROM]ASU-JellyBean-Hydro 8 (6/29/13)Liquid Butter..- Tf300 -Official 10.6.1.15.3 Base, you need to be on 4.2.1 and 10.6.15.3 bootloader

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dschur:
Hi all,

The audio on my Jam (predominantly the output from the built-in speaker) was driving me a little nuts. I was getting stuttering and clicks in programs (games), in movies (WMV) and using the phone. Also, there was a lot of stutter in the notifications for incoming calls and SMS.

In attempting to resolve this, I noticed that GB-SOFT Tweak (http://www.gb-soft.cz/XDAII/products.htm) had an

interesting setting "Higher priority for audio media". I turned on this setting, soft reset, and Wham! sounds are as

smooth as butter globally. I haven't had any noticeable negative side effects, just better sounds.

I looked into what the GB-SOFT utility is doing, and it seems to just be setting one registry value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\Priority256

from it's default

0x100 (256) to

0x80 (128)

This apparently gives the built-in sound processing DLL (WaveDev) a higher thread priority and eliminates the skipping sound.

Can some of you guys try this out (either via the GB-SOFT utility, or manually in the registry), and confirm your results?

This got rid of one of the most annoying problems for me with my Jam (A great device).

YMMMV
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] agiorgitis:
I've just changed it to 80 and i'm going to do some tests tonight. I'll post again with the results... :)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] agiorgitis:
Well, i've tested it and i found that while it does a lot of improvement on the sounds played from the back speaker (media player, ringtones etc.), it doesn't improve at all the audio quality from the front speaker. (I called a couple of friends...but it was still the same, robot, voice quality)

For the tests i went up to 500 (terrible audio, full of clicks and tsiks) and down to 20...

I'll continue the tests.... :?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] taron:
Hi,

Good thing ! Thanks for the test :)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Koksie:
On my MDA Compact, the Priority256 key has the DWord value 110 (0X00006E). So I have no idea how to change the setting to 0X80 (128). Anyone know how to do this? I am interested in testing the results.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] taron:
Using a registre editor like regedit I think.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Koksie:
I am using PHM regedit, that's how I found the settings I posted. But no idea what to put into that setting to change it to the settings posted in thsi thread. I will use the GB prog instead and see what it does.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Pc78:
Koksie I have the same problem with Resco explorer registry plug-in... :roll: Will try the regedit at home...

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dschur:
Koksi, if that is your default, then you actually have an ever higher priority set by default then GB-SOFT Tweak sets.

Hmm, I'm wondering if some other software (Or GB-SOFT Tweak itself) else lowered my priority to 0x100 (256) causing my problems in the first place.

GB-SOFT Tweak definitely sets the value to 0x80 (128) when you turn the option on, and resets it back to 0x100 (256) when you turn it off.

Can anyone else quickly check the value of this registry setting without using GB-SOFT Tweak?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] agiorgitis:
Same here. The default was 110....
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] andrewpmoore:

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bnycastro:
I have the same settings as Koskie. 0x6E (110) The sound from my rear speaker is ok so far no problems when playing mp3s and during alerts. So I guess I will not apply this tweak for the meantime.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] melodystyle2003:
my default was 100....i didnt notice any difference..(qtek s100)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] larsw:
My default value is 0x6E (110) - haven't tried the tweak yet.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dschur:
Andrew, if you set it to 110 you will have much better sound.

Everyone else, if you're already below 128, you're fine. Somehow a couple of devices (Andrrew, mine) got off the imate factory default (which seems to be 110) causing really bad sound.

Of course if you want some fun, you can manually set it to 256 and soft-reset to see how bad it is, then set it back ;-)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Joost:

My report:

Mine is 110 (factory default).

Set to 80, and found the sound is less clicking when hearing from the phone (talk like normal handphone, not from the speaker phone at bottom).

For sound like from Windows Media Player 10, or phone ringtones (midi), looks like the sound is a bit soft than before, but clearer.

I keep on 80.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bnycastro:
hi have to report something weird! anyway a few posts up I said my default was 128... however I noticed that my mp3s seem to be playing out of sync or choppy and the quality was worse than before my ROM upgrade. when I checked the value it was set to 256. I'm not saying it is the ROM's fault as I have also installed/tried some other apps after the ROM upgrade and maybe these apps were responsible for lowering the audio quality for my JAM (maybe for performance purpose) anyway I've set it back to 128 and the sound is better. Maybe for people just about to do the ROM upgrade can check the before and after value so we know if it is the ROM doing the changing or just some apps.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] swamp2:
THANKS SO MUCH FOR A GREAT THREAD!

After posting this same question here (BA Forum) and at howard forums I finally found this thread. I had the bad clicking/skipping during mp3 in WMP and during wav playback in the voice in GPS nav. My setting was 128 but I already installed the GB-Soft tweak. I still had the poor performance. I adjusted down to 110 and all problems seem to be gone. It definitely was some devious app that made a change because my device did not do this for a long time then it suddenly began. BTW, I have a pda2k not Jam. Anyway, thanks so much to all for a solution this was driving me nuts.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bgs_piece:
I am using a stock rooted rom and recently began to experience issue with sending and receiving text messages. I use Handcent SMS and have the stock messaging app frozen and for some reason the messages look like they've been sent but they actually haven't been. For some reason this only happens when I am at home and the cell reception isn't the best but it's good enough where I should be able to send receive texts. When they do happen to go through, I'll receive like 20 texts at the same time but the people had sent them hours before. I have looked for settings within Handcent and haven't been able to find anything.

Does anyone know how I can fix this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Did you always freeze the stock messaging app? I used handcent on my droid incredible, but I haven't used it since because the stock and AOSP messaging apps have gotten much better.

I know that handcent used to rely on the stock messaging app for messages to pass through. Try defrosting it and simply turn off message notifications, then you won't even notice it running.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bgs_piece:
I've had the stock app frozen for almost a year and until recently everything worked fine. Handcent now has an option to choose what app you want to handle the default actions for messaging. I get a message that pops up saying the service is unavailable right now and the message will be sent when the service becomes available. I'm not sure if that is coming from Handcent or the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
The only thing I can think of is mobile data signal. I recently went from the vrblk3 modem to the vrbmb1 firmware and I'm noticing a big increase in my signal strength pretty much everywhere I go.

Since it only happens in your house, it sounds like you just aren't getting a good enough signal, or the data your phone says is being sent actually is getting hung up on verizon's end. I would try a different firmware package and see what happens, just don't use vrbmd3 firmware. It sounds like your issue is with your phone, not the app.

Since when does pulling the battery reset phone?

If you have recovery, try factory reset or fxz or flash a new ROM.
