That's actually what you are supposed to see. You must be trying to reboot after wiping system. It asks what u just posted and u slide once to say yeah reboot anyway then it says u want to root phone b4 reboot and u should slide so it does. Then it should reboot to recovery then u install the ROM again. If u were expecting to boot the ROM u must have forgot to reflash ?

Nope, all I did was flash kernel, wipe cache & dalvik, & try to reboot system, then got "root" msg, swiped it, then it told me I had no OS on phone.

I have updated kernels before w/o having toe reflash the whole ROM again.:confused:

ended up doing a complete wipe & started over w/ 0501 SlimSaber.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] inimeg81:
It doesn't make sense that flashing a kernel would touch the ROM. They are different partitions. At most it will change the partition size. I haven't flashed the new one yet. I hope its not doing what ur saying it's doing. I don't have access to the build files for that kernel. But I can see dao manually added the boot.IMG and modules. But its just like the repack.zip u shouldn't have any prob. After u install the ROM of your choice and its known to not have twrp working correctly u should be good by flashing that zip of the new kernel. Or an earlier ROM version heimdall flash the boot.IMG. if u want to fix the roms twrp recovery that has a problem... Install beanstalk fro testing dir.. Then backup recovery name it bsrecovery then backup boot rename it bsboot u may need to reboot and install the ROM a second time to see recovery to backup. Anyway after that factory reset then install your ROM like aokp. After install of ROM and gapps restore the recovery of bsrecovery. If u restore the boot too.. No biggie just flash the kernel from master branch and ull have working twrp with it. I'll test kernel zip see if it RM system for me

Get a Comcast cable box with a USB port. Try holding vol + & vol - while plugging cord in. U may get it to go into download mode. If u haven't taken your phone apart yet. Do that to make sure the top. The left and the bottom cable are secured in the PCB. Comcast boxes have USB hub controllers so they always boot phones (if its not your USB port). I actually have 2 other motherboards for t959v. U want one ? Or are u sending back to T-Mobile. I have the same external battery charger as u. Went through same problem when my power button broke.

Yikes! Chris is right! Don't flash the new master kernel!*@! it deletes /system. it's zipped in the wrong way without a system dir or any of the startup files a kernel zip would need. its really bothering me that i cant fix this because of the closed source issue, then again the zip is made manually so, always gonna have a different hash that way. I'll take the kernel off goo... and i'll put a zip with the boot.img and modules up into ../public_html and when dao sees this post he can move it to NiLTMT or whatever he wants.

Thanks [MENTION=5592807]inimeg81[/MENTION] dunno why TWRP doesn't work well with aokp as it was the same file subsystem, partitions size,... to the others. Maybe it was caused by the /system/vold and /system/extras repo that aokp didn't natively support twrp anymore but weird that Beanstalk is having the same way doing their system/vold and estras repos but doesn't get this issue. Weird. But the CWM, instead, gave us the no/blank/black recovery issue that I haven't had time viewing sourve for otner devices to find out if there is any diff/conflict that we might have

Hi guys, firstly wanted to say i apologise if my query is already out there but i did have a quick look.

Right basically i got fed up using my Orange San Diego [also is falling apart] so i dug around my draw of bits and bobs and found my old xperia play. now i know i had problems with it well over a year or 2 ago, so here goes

Bascially if i try to turn it on i get the little blue light and vibration and nothing on the screen [ i remeber the screen started getting tempremental] and would have to open and close it a few times lol

At the moment its on charge and the blue light keeps coming on for a few seconds then going, and a fw seconds later back on.

Any help? Not sure what custom rom i put on as i was dabbling in all of that blindly a few years go.

Thanks again for your help.

Hey everyone, (please don't yell at me!) I am a noob, I have scowered to find an answer for this and I haven't, so I'll post it here. Honestly whoever helps me is a GOD.

I have a Galaxy Note II from Rogers (Canadian provider). I've had it for 8 months and loved it. I haven't touched the innards of it yet, it has been stock since I've gotten it. So a few days ago, it died as per usual and I plugged it in over night. I woke up and it would not turn on! The farthest it gets is a battery with a frozen loading sign on it. It doesn't go any further.

It goes into recovery mode; rebooted the device but it gets past the home screen for about 1 or 2 seconds, freezes and dies. After frantically searching the internet and xda forums, I came up with the semi conclusion that my Note II has suffered from SDS (Sudden Death Syndrome) which is only a self diagnostic. I went into Rogers as it's under warranty to get it replaced but they said it'd be wiped clean! I can't have that happen. I have incredibly important files on my phones internal storage.

So this is where I need your help guys! I REALLY would appreciate it.

I downloaded the Rogers Stock upgrade to 4.1.2 and put it on a microSD and went into recovery mode again on my device and tried installing the update via external storage (so maybe my phone can boot up again!) but all I get is e:signature verification failed which is NOT GOOD! I am completely stuck beyond this point, my phone won't boot but goes into stock recovery. How do I get my phone to start? I need to preserve my files! I could use any help that I could get!

1)Push APK to system/app (This to ensure the service is persistent)

2)Reboot phone

3)Wait till phone reboots completely then off the screen and turn it back on.

4)Grant root access and Done

This service will hopefully not drain battery! :fingers-crossed: Please test and tell :highfive:

PS: If it dosnt work make sure the permissions of the apk are set right (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B00NNevpQm_-bjVObHY0Qjh3a28/edit?usp=sharing)

Might work for other versions of cyanogenmod haven't tested but you can try out ;)

I am attaching two APK's:-

1) The No_Light APK turns on & off the illumination bar lights in accordance with the state of the screen (i.e ON or OFF)

2) The LightS APK works with the light sensor and turns off the illuminaton bar when enough lightning is available.(I have not yet fully tested this might cause more battery drain!)

[Shield Q&A] bonapartist:
Is there any way to force a menu button entry? Many older programs such as Scumm Vm do not have on-screen menus of any kind of rely on the button.

How can I play Full Throttle now!?!?!?! Good god the calamity.
[Shield Q&A] Gnurou:
'Y' should be acting as a menu button. Unless ScummVM maps it to something else, it should bring the menu up.
[Shield Q&A] bonapartist:
AFAIK ScummVM is a derelict project - fully functioning and fully featured but no longer updated. It will likely never have anyone tailoring Shield support for it. So I have no way whatsoever to access the menu once in game, and hence no way to save or load, making most games essentially fruitless to play given their nature as long graphic adventures. I think the exclusion of a menu button is a bummer and a deficiency. They could of coded so a double press of the Nvidia button registers as a menu press, or something akin to that; knowing how cool Nvidia is, I imagine they'll either add this in, or their openness about the Shield will allow a custom rom to force it in... Still, it's a bummer right now that ScummVM is essentially "broken" on the Shield. 15+ years of superb graphic adventures.. Nuts.

I know the menu button is no longer a requirement on Android devices, but I for one am very sorry to see it go, even outside of implications for old Android applications that do not get freqeuent updates such as ScummVM.

Also the lack of a menu button means I can't bring up the keyboard at will in apps such as Dosbox! That's a huge problem! Being able to bring up the keyboard whenever you want was useful in many, many applications, I don't know why they would ever eliminate that.
[Shield Q&A] saiyan23:
I've yet to try SCUMM on the shield but there isn't a way to bring it up by swiping the screen?

On Dosbox, the keyboard can be brought up by swiping down from the top of the screen. Maybe it can be done somehow with ScUMM.
[Shield Q&A] HobsonA:
Is there an App like Button savior which has a menu button?? I use that app on my nook tablet which only has one button but I don't recall there being a menu button :(
[Shield Q&A] Evo_Shift:
If you're rooted you can use tincore keymapper and make whatever button you want into the menu button. Just run it when you run the emulator.

"Home 2 shortcut" could also work. Like someone above said it could assign menu to double tap of the home button. I've not tried it on the shield though. Though I'm not sure it can be used like this...It might only work to launch apps.

My FIrsthand Solution

I know this is an old post, but it came up on google when I was trying to resolve this problem myself. I decided to sign up and post the solution I found incase someone else searches the web trying to fix this problem.

I'm using the Nvidia Shield, but i believe this Build of ScummVM resolves problems for a lot of Android Devices:

google: ScummVm svn55436 1-1-0-7 (I Can't post links as a new user)

This is a stand-alone version of ScummVm, it offers an onscreen keyboard, as well as the ability to map buttons--resolving the issue of accessing a menu to save/load your game progress

Here is what I did using Nvidia Shield:

1. unistalled any Scumm apps I had

2. Using the chrome browser I went to: H TTP anddev.at.ua/load/scummvm_svn55436/1-1-0-7 (OR) google: ScummVM svn55436 1-1-0-7 (Again, I Can't post links as a new user)

the download link is at the top of the post

3. I went to settings>security> Check "Unknown Sources" UnCheck "Verify apps"

(This prevents Android from blocking installation switch these settings back after step 4.)

4. I then went to apps>downloads> and clicked "7_scummvm-sdl-1.7.apk" to install it

5. once installed I opened the program, I spent sometime configuring things in a trial by error fashion

Here's my configuration settings to my best recollection:

1. Video Settings> Check--Keep 4:3 screen aspect ratio

2. Mouse Emulation> Calibrate Touchscreen

3.Remap Physical Keys> (I pressed the "left shoulder" button on my gamepad)> Select Action> (scroll down) Show all Keycodes> then select "F5" <<<<This Lets you access the menu so you can SAVE/LOAD!!!!!
[Shield Q&A] saiyan23:
Were you able to use the analog stick to control the cursor? Mine acts very erratic. I followed your instructions and scumm works fine but I just that issue.
[Shield Q&A] ColtFlory5:
I've been able to get by just fine using the touchscreen. The joystick is a little funky on me too, any movement tends to send the cursor drifting offscreen.

The guy who did this build, I believe, designed it for android devices in general and not specifically for the Shield, so if you want the analog joystick working you might be s-o-l.

I have to say though, the touchscreen is working pretty good for me--I'd give it shot and try to get used to it.

Hi all, I'm new here (great place, very informative) and pretty new to the Android scene in general.
