[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bababar:
hello all

i have a gs2 i9100

i rooted it folowing this guide short way (update from recovery)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1994544

it installs cwm recovery 4.0.1.5 and supersu.

i tried installing a cm10.1 nightly version for my model,it allways abort with staus 7.

i tried different nightly version,no success.

then i folowed the official cm guide:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9100

i flashed the zimage for cwm recovery via heimdall on linux,it went well then i booted into recovery to check and success.

i didnt want to flash cm at that point (middle of the day) so i rebooted the device and problem:

i could see the samssung boot logo with the yello triangle and then the screen goes black and..nothing.

for now i restored via recovery a backup i made on the older 4.0.1.5 recovery.

i also tried looking for a kernel that matches mine - jhls4 and couldnt find one nor a solution that solved the stsus 7 error.

what could be the problem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
That thread is so old now. More phone details. Firmware you have installed or had installed before you flashed cm? Model of i9100?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bababar:
Phone model is gt-i9100

Im on stock tw jb 4.1.2

Never installed any other firmware just updated the official with kies.

I rooted it from the stock recovery-installed super user and recovery as update.

The rest is in my first post.

Appriciate your help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Flash it with philz kernel for root and custom kernel cwm recovery that will let you do anything. Philz is the easy way to root and install cwm to your i9100.

When that's install do the wipes and reboot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bababar:
Thanx for your reply

Q: any phils kernel or one that matches mine- jhls2?

2nd Q: can i flash the kenel via recovery ? Or just heimdall?

And if i flash a kernel do i have to flash a rom immedietly or can i still use the stock rom?

Total noob at this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Flash lss or lsw philz as its just the cwm that's updated in dif versions and yes this will work on your stock 4.1.2 no point in telling you to flash something that won't work on the ROM you have now ;) then if you want to flash custom ROM you can do this from there. Either way is possible with philz . tar for Odin/hem and singed zip for stock recovery:thumbup: reading is the key to flashing well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bababar:
Thanx again

I read a lot and got a little confused.

Will do what u suggested.

Hope ill get it right this time.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] subaru98:
hello i have an issue with my evo i have firmware of 4.1.1 on meanbean rom which is installed but not at home screen stuck at loading screen

i got newest of the twrp recovery firmware and phone keeps saying unable to mount sd card ! help me quick and ill donate money to your paypal account !
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Do you have a backup you can restore?

Sounds like you may need to format your storage, which you can do by using the "mount" setting in recovery, then hooking your phone up to a computer. Select whatever storage you wish to format using the recovery menu. You should get an option to format the storage once you connect your phone to your computer. As far as flashing MeanBean ROM, if you're S-on you have to flash the ROM zip twice. Flash the ROM zip the first time, then reboot to system. The phone should boot to the HTC splash screen, then back to recovery. Flash the ROM zip again, and reboot. Also, I suggest going S-off as soon as possible. Hit the link in my sig for more info.

4.1.1 is your software version, not your firmware version.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] msangapu:
Were you able to fix the problem?

You might not have the right combination of software to run meanbean. I am running JB and had to downgrade my HBOOT before I could run it without issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
There's no reason to downgrade. MeanBean (and most other JB ROM's) runs just fine, regardless of Hboot version. I've personally installed it on phones with older Hboot versions, as well as the newest.The only problem is some older ROM's (namely ICS) don't work well worth some newer recovery versions, which requires downgrading the recovery version.
[Vibrant General] molson24:
Hi there,

Where do I get the latest Google play Store application to download for my Vibrant?

I have Remics Jb Rom, but it did not come with any google play store.

What GAAPS app do I download for that?
[Vibrant General] iTz KeeFy:
There is a Gapps link directly under the ROM download link, not sure how you could miss it. Here is the Remics job ROM link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2283845, scroll down and look for the Gapps link.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dandry:
I would have never thought that I could brick my device without... doing something wrong. Here I come, completely helpless at this point.

Earlied today the phone had worked just fine until I turned 3G on, it wouldn't actually turn it on. I tried Aeroplane mode which didn't help, so I held power button and chose to reboot. This is when the problem starts. The phone booted itself successfully through its logo, then Devilkernel logo, and lastly showed the GamerzROM logo (which is actually the Nexus logo) and kept showing this flashing logo forever. Even after 30 minutes.

CWM works just fine.

I noticed that while booting it makes a single loop (Samsung logo -> Devil logo -> Samsung logo -> Devil logo -> Nexus logo).

I've wiped partition cache and dalvik, put the ROM and Gapps on external sd and flashed again. Nothing changed.

I am also worried about the battery - when I plug the charger the device turn on (the way mentioned above) and I have no idea whether it's charging or not, at the moment I am at 24% of battery so it's risky to flash without a charge.

Please, I need some advice to fix this, without loosing my data on the phone. I could flash another ROM, but that obviously means data/factory reset.

Thank you in advance!

EDIT: I've just checked in CMW and the phone is actually charging. Battery percentage rose up.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nigox91:
Have you tried to return to stock ROM ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dandry:
I've made a nandroid backup to a external SD and wiped data. The phone "amazingly" works, although I've lost all my configuration and data (maybe I'll retrieve it somehow from the backup files).

Must have been corrupted files or something.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkknigh_t:
Hmmm im running gamerzrom too since first day and i didnt have anything like this.

Did you change/update kernel?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dandry:
Nope, I didn't touch anything. Just changed the DPI once I flashed the ROM.

Well I couldn't have said a bad word about GamerzROM until yesterday's incident.

Hope it never happens again.

Hello everybody!

I'm looking for help. Yesterday I got in the rain and my mobile got little wet under the back cover. I dryed it with hair-dryer carefully, but as the mobile is solid I can't remove the battery. It doesn't work now, only a red light is on. I left it for 24 hours in dry warm room and when I tried to turn it on, it maked 3 "vibrations" and the red light indicator is still on. I'm afraid recharging it..

Please, anybody help me with advice :)

Can anyone tell me why I can't get my SMS notification sound to work? I'm on CM 10.1.2 for the VZW GS3. I can go into settings and click on the option to change the sound but when I choose one and go back it still says "silent" as my choice no matter what. I've tried reflashing and wiping everything but to no avail. If it helps I'm on the July 11th stable build.

No sms notification cm 10.1.2

Have you found a fix for this yet. Just installed CM 10.1.2 on my wifes Sprint GS3. Now there are a couple people who she gets text's from and her phone will not notify her of the test. Only when she goes to messaging does she see someone sent a message.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] willystylee1:
Somewhat savvy somewhat still a noob to root stuff.

I rooted my S4 (from ME7) recently and have been enjoying some root apps. I bought the pro version of ROM Toolbox. I love the app but for some reason I can't get custom fonts to work as well as custom boot animations. I tried installing a few different fonts and then rebooting and no luck. They don't show up in the font list either under Display>Fonts in android settings. Then with the custom boot animations I installed the Alex Grey animation, reboot, no luck. Then i tried "Disable the boot animation>Remove all boot animations" and then rebooted and still no luck.

I'm kinda confused, am I doing something wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] willystylee1:
bump
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Anthony825:
If you're running me7 then you won't be able to touch the custom boot screen. A rooted phone is different from an unlocked bootloader. There are a lot of things that can't be changed with your S4 until an unlock is found since Verizon locked it down so nicely (Note the intense sarcasm). As far as the fonts go, I was able to change the font to Zekton for all Internet browsers, but further changes caused me to send my phone into a bootloop (soft-brick). Basically, don't try to customize or flash anything on your phone until an unlock is found. I would suggest using the root permissions to utilize Titanium Backup and back up everything.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Samsung uses flipfonts. ROM toolbox's are not flipfonts.

Samsung uses a .qmg as their bootanimation instead of bootanimation.zip

Basically they aren't compatible at all

[HTC One V] AfroChild113:
Hello, I'm new here to XDA. As forum policy requires, I have watched the XDA video and I know that one must fully search the forums (and Google) for the answers to their questions. Unfortunately, I haven't come across any solution to my problem:

Google Play is detecting the wrong carrier for my phone. Because of this, certain apps that were once compatible with my CDMA Cricket HTC One V are labeled "incompatible" for my device. Google detects my phone as Virgin Mobile as opposed to Cricket.

I have recently rooted my phone with RhythmicRom v1.4, and I have followed the advice from a previous thread to delete my app settings for Google play and remove my synced account, then resync. Nothing. I have also tried to follow the advice in another thread of checking the Web version of Google play to see if I can delete my phone and re-add it. Nothing again.

I assume it may have something to do with a file on the system, that perhaps one can edit? It's not so much as changing the name to what I want on the notification, it's more about what information synced networks such as Google are receiving about my phone.

I would appreciate whatever kind and non-sarcastic help anyone is able to provide on the matter. If you need any other information, I'd be more than happy to provide it. Thank you!
[HTC One V] AfroChild113:

I believe if you're paying full retail, you can just walk in and pick it up. Have you tried that?

I have tried that in the nearest store and they refused to do so. Maybe I should try another store?

You can just purchase it from the Internet.

[LG Optimus G Pro] cproaudio:
buy from costco then cancel the contract after 14 days and pay the ETF. It'll be cheaper than buying from AT&T outright.
[LG Optimus G Pro] vinniemac84:
if u go to a cor store...a real att store not a dealer location they'll sell it to u no problem without service. dealer locations like ms wireless and parott only sell with upgrades and new lines cuz they r typically pure commission. cor reps still get hourly pay so if u wanna just walk in, bye, walk out, it should be quick and easy

U could buy it on swappa on the xda site.

An AT&T Cor Store will gladly sell you that phone without an account.... They HAVE TOO or they would be going agenst policy.

I wish that were the case. I was able to buy the first one with a bit of persuading. But I returned it only to have the price drop 110 dollars so I bought the 2nd one. 3 different stores said it was against policy to sell without service plans. I called Customer service and they said the same thing. Who knows. But Just FYI they may be getting ready to stop selling the phone altogether . I had to purchase a 3rd due #2 dropping and shattered the screen. It rang up for 400 dollars.

won't that affect my credit history somehow? i have not signed any wireless contract before so i am not quite sure

It will only affect your credit if you don't pay the etf.

saying you wanted it without service is probably why they didnt sell it to you. most sales reps r shady and sharks...i know cuz i used to be one. i used to see my coworkers bold face lie to customers sometimes if they didnt wanna do something that didnt make them any money. since you wanted just the hardware and no service they werent getting jack from you at all and just said they couldnt even tho its not a problem at all

According to gsam Google service Is the culprit if ny high awake times (see screenshot below). But how can I reduce this problem without defeating the purpose of having a smartphone,and according to the battery graph u don't see Google services listed at all.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rirere:
/facepalm

A 21-minute wakelock out of a 12 hour recording session. The sky must be falling.

Unless you shut down any Google app using Google Play Services, no, there's nothing to do. The only reason it comes up as a larger power use is because it's essentially aggregating the power previously used by six or seven different apps. You seriously need to get some perspective on what constitutes "bad" battery life because you just keep posting "my battery suxorz" threads with less and less justification each time.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Hmm. I get pretty crappy battery life, but that battery life doesn't look too good. How much screen time? Your kernel should use about 25% of your battery. If you're on stock, that is.

Try clearing cache for GP services. Try using the phone for a day. See if that works. If not, then clear data.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] racingmatt1:
Here is my current stats also I'm completely stock (no root) and my herbal US currently 23%,how much higher(percentage wise) can it get before it will start causing orovkens?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
For stock non rooted,that seems about right. That's what I get. Around 13 hours a day with 3 how screen time.

Actually, you are getting much better battery life than I do.

What are your settings? WiFi? LTE? Battery saving apps? Facebook? I can't for the life if me get decent battery life. As I said, the kernel uses up 25% of my battery.

EDIT: Also, I looked at my stats, and it seems that Google services wakes my device a lot too. So yeah, your stats are normal. :good:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] kleen3r:
Is this normal for me? I left my phone overnight and it goes to deep sleep with barely no screen time but there's major drain. What is the difference between screen on time and awake? Is it some background services running? I checked the wakelocks and nothing seems wrong.

Edit: Looks like something is keeping the kernel awake. Does anyone know what is msm_hsic_host?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] racingmatt1:
I only use the power saver with cpu,and data connection enabled,auto sync disabled,I'm on wifi when at home,and 3g/lte enabled when im away from home all the time,auto-sync disabled (no need for it). NFC and all location services are on all the time (google's location service along with GPS),brightness set from 0%-20% (depending on lighting conditions). I also use the facebook app with syncing disabled.If you have any other questions or if I missed something feel free to ask.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
That's exactly what I do! But I get really crappy signal and I'm on mible data quite a bit. What am I missing out on?

What percent of battery does your kernel use?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] racingmatt1:
it ranges from 20%-25%,once it got up to 28% but I was doing some heavy gaming,but after that it went down to 23% according to gsam's app sucker on the % power used screen. I'm rarely in a low signal area, but when I am i'm not in that area for long enough time for it to really impact my battery.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Zor Omega:
I'm going to have to agree here. I think people are expecting way to much out of these machines. Especially if your gaming and browsing a lot. Assuming your not crippling your smartphone functions by disabling data and such,This phone is only rated for about 3 or 4 hours screen on time max, especially while gaming. 12 hours of battery is perfectly fine. Especially for the use case of the OP.
