hello dudes.. i read most of the threads here i just wanna make sure i'm doin things right.

i was trying to flash the .211 firmware's kernel so i can root the new one, flashtool kept saying that i don't have the drivers and couldnt start in fastboot mode.. i tried several times, and i did a hard reset a couple of times.

now the phone won't start up at all in any mode.. no led no nothing.

the battery was about 90% before this happened..

I read about the rubber band thingy and it's been connected to pc for a couple of hours now and still nothing, what should i do?

plz help me..:rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
is your bootloader unlocked?

also if you're flashing a stock kernel from a stock ftf using flashtool its flash mode, not fastboot
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] heart_of_life:
I have a relocked bootloader.. yea sorry i meant flash mode..

i've been trying the rubber band trick for eight hours now and still nothing.. should i just open it up and reset the battery?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Envious_Data:
does your phone viabrate when "power+volume up" is held

if yes then unplug your XS then hold "power+volume up" till your phone buzzes 3 times, then try to flash a FW with flashtool

(take note this may take up to 60 secconds before it viabrates)

if no then please visit the link below

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] heart_of_life:
It didn't do anything at all, but after 30 hours of applying the rubber band with no response, I hooked it to the wall charger and it gave me the red led, I waited for 30 minutes then flashed the kernel in flashtool and charged it again, then turned it on and it's back to life.

Thanks alot

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theultimate1:
[Q] Yet another battery issue thread. But, this one's a "different" problem. No joke.

Hello Everyone,

I know I know... You're too tired to read through another sad tale of a battery issue. But, this one's weird. It shouldn't be happening, but is happening. I desperately desperately desperately need help solving this.

I own a Galaxy S2 i9100 (bought in July 2011, with Android 2.3.3 installed).

With 2.3.3 on the phone, I could manage getting juice for 24-26 hours.

I recently upgraded Android via Samsung Kies to Jelly Bean 4.1.2, and the battery life immediately tanked. I tested it for a week, and there was no improvement. That's when a friend of mine gave me the ICS 4.0.4 tar file that he managed to copy (from the temp folder in Windows) while upgrading his S2 via Kies.

I thought ICS would solve the battery woes, but it's only marginally better than JB. So, the battery life that I get out of my phone still sucks A LOT. The build I have on my phone is IMM76D.XWLPW. When I use the phone's display, play music, or am on a call, or have the GPRS on, the battery drains drastically. The stand-by time is pretty decent though.

Here's the most recent-est stat: I played music for 1 hour 10 minutes, had about 15 pings exchanged on WhatsApp, and the battery had tanked 14% in that much time. :(

I badly need this issue sorted. Otherwise, using apps like WhatsApp & Facebook (where people are constantly buzzing me every few minutes) will cause my phone to run out of juice every 6 hours. I used to use these apps (and pretty frequently) when I had Android 2.3.3 and the phone would manage to last 24-26 hours.

What could be the solution?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
First thing, if you're still using the battery that came with the phone, replace it. Whether you got 143 hr on GB is irrelevant, a two year old battery is going to fail sooner or later.

Second thing, there is no easy solution (at least not one that doesn't involve messing with your phone, and even then you may not find one). If GB was so good for you, why not go back to it ? Get the GB rom you were running from Samfirmware, flash it with Odin. Done (And don't accept any future OTA updates).

If you want to stay with ICS or JB, search for the BetterBatteryStats thread here, install the app & allow it to run while you use your phone 'normally' for a day or so. Then post logs/etc to the BBS thread; people who post there regularly should be able to help you work out what's causing drain & if anything can be done about it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GamingDj:
Android 4.0.4 ? Oh, dude...you are lucky you haven't done a factory reset.Immediately flash ICS 4.0.3 or JB! You have 100% eMMC brickbug.Look at my signature and flash JB 4.1.2. eMMC bug + factory reset from recovery = phone dead forever.Follow my guide exactly and flash JB and root it !Then flash Apolo kernel for extreme bttery life.
[HTC One S] Brushstroke:
Hi there. I'm new to rooting but I've done a considerable amount of reading before this and I have a question.

I'm rooting using a guide (can't post link due to new user restrictions) on another forum, and before doing this I realized that I wouldn't be able to receive OTA updates using the one of the two custom recovery options (CWM or TWRP 2) that the root method specifies. Is it possible to restore the stock recovery to receive OTA updates and keep my root? And how would I go about doing this for the HTC One S?

Thank you!
[HTC One S] tivofool:
you just need to flash the stock recovery and relock your boot loader.

This isn't hard to do in fastboot

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (change the name of the recovery.img file to make it easier than typing something like recovery_signed_ville.img or whatever)

fastboot oem lock

I have the s4 variety of htc one s and I've used this stock recovery. it's the second download not the first.

http://www.modaco.com/topic/353006-...ch-recovery-for-the-htc-one-s-stock-download/

or you can use the all in one toolkit

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1604677

select 'your own recovery' and click flash recovery button. It will bring up a window to browse to where the recovery you want to flash is.

you can lock or unlock bootloader with it by putting your unlock_code.bin file in the data folder of the toolkit.

I've been using aoip v1.6 by team insomnia rom and it is really cool with its scroling effects and this rom is really fast.

I want to swap the sdcard like i did before with the other rom by changing from 0 to 1 in build.prop. But when i tried to saved the changes that i made in the build.prop, it wont save it.

Is there anyway to swap sdcard in this rom?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dec0der:
have you tried using root explorer? then mount r/w
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Abdmin:
how to do that?

i'm still new with this stuff.

[update] i just playing around with it and i think i got it......thanks for your help
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dec0der:
ok lets try to do this :)

download root explorer HERE

put it in your sd-card and install it

use it to edit your build.prop
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Abdmin:
it works.....i saw 'mounted as r/o' and change with r/w and then edit build.prop, it works like charm.

but what is the difference between r/o and r/w?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dec0der:
nice :) :good:

r/o = read only, you cannot modify, move or delete files.

r/w = read/ write, you can modify , move and delete files.

thanks....there's a lot of thing i still need to learn

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mattx98:
Here's the short story my phone started to get really laggy my brother said I should put CM10 on my phone so I handed it to him and he gave it back to me rommed and ready to go. Everything went great for 2 weeks then my phone started to shut off and I would have to do a battery pull and turn it on again to get it to work this started happening 10-20 times a day. I decided to go back to to stock as I use the phone everyday for work. I used Odin to take my phone back to stock. When I booted into the stock rom I receive no lock screen and a message saying "Unfortunately, Factory Test has stopped." The phone is extremely laggy and apps force close all the time. I touch the Power button for 2 seconds and the phone shuts down with no menu to choose from. When I boot to Android recovery it says the following twice: E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)

I asked my brother if by any chance he backed up the efs and of course the answer is no. I have spent nearly the last 24 hours trying to solve this with no luck. I can't even get the phone back on to a CM rom.

Is it safe to say to say this phone is done for?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] noobgalaxys4g:
Okay, so I heimdall oneclicked back to stock gb, then flashed cm7 which it worked somewhat better picking up bars, but not in my area. If I leave town my phone will temporarily pick up tmobiles network and I can make a short call, but nothing consistent, and nothing where I'm living. Had very few problems before modding. I've even restored my original working efs folder. It will connect, but not in my area. Any ideas? I've flashed several different modems, and am now using kj6...nothing working. IMEI is intact and valid...don't understand. Willing to try about anything because the phone is no good to me like this...

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] RAGOv:
man,

The rom editor is for the extended ROM files,meaning ms_.nbf,and dead sure not for nk.nbf....

There is no password stuff,the software gave u a password coz it tried it's preloaded passwords(like 0x20040305,etc...),and(off course),none of them worked....this can happen with u each time u open a none recognized .nbf file(eg:magician ms_.nbf).

The extended ROM can be edited,but the nk.nbf(ROM image,specifically the himalaya one),cannot....and if it can,surely not with rom editor(try hex editor,but it won't help u...too sofisticated) :wink:

So,quit trying to open this nk.nbf file,and,instead of nagging,ask what do u want to do with this ROM file....maybe the teckies here will help u....

RAGO :lol:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] xda2jojo:

Hey guy's, I brought a new HTC 8s on our independence day replacing my explorer. It is too good to see but many issues in it (possibly will be fixed in next updates). The only thing I want on it that to use the non-store apps. I have tried but the downloaded files are showing unsupported error message. As windows support .xap files (as .apk in android as we know), so I don't think it will create any issue by using non-store apps.

please suggest........

Even though you can manually download xap file, store it on Sd-Card, the installation procedure will look to the Windows Phone Store to verify it. No way to install application without the Store.

hello everyone,

of course im a total noob so i am in desperate need of your help.

i just bought an unlocked att htc inspire 4g from amazon and when i tried to use it with my carrier, i reside in argentina, it says "no service"

and i cant connect to my carrier. if i dont put my sim card it says " no sim card" but i put it in, it just stays in no service and doesnt ask me for any code to unlock it.

now i ve done some searching before posting and I've done the power, - volume thingie and my phone says s-off in the menu.

the phone's band matches the one in my country so thats not the issue.

how can i make this phone work so it can recognize the carrier?

hope sombody can give me a hand
[HTC Inspire 4G] opotiago:
Can't anybody help me? Please! I've search troughout the forum and couldn't find anything related...the phone says s-off rl when I enter bootloader but apparently it is not rooted since i tried to instal cynogenmod and was not able to, neither could I use clockworkmod? (Can't remember if that is the exact name...)

I could not rooot the device either with htcdev tool since I can't install the ruu and can't use the rom.zip file either so I can't go through with the rooting

I don't care too much about rooting anyway, but I thought that if I root the device I can change the radio frec and finally I can use my freaki phone

Help would really be apreciated since I'm really lost here

Hey everyone,

My little brother is trying to learn more things about mobile devices and wanted to have a go at my old piece of junk, stock optimus one p500h. So i let him have a go and now it's not working so here is the problem.

First he rooted it and that worked fine with gingeroot and then proceeded to install romanager which bricked the phone but he was able to recover the phone with a recovery.img and using LGMDP-v1.5 and emergency mode.

After that he installed some android system recovery thing "RA-thunderg-1.2.0-gnn" not sure what the software was originally, regardless he tried flashing from the flash from zip from sdcard and used a cyanogenmod zip which he said worked and then the phone said success and rebooted.

Now the phone just sits at the cyanogenmod loading screen and will not boot.

I am able to get into the recovery menu with home,down and power and emergency mode also works.

Where did he go wrong and what does he need to do in order to get this to work properly? :) Thanks for your help everyone and sorry if the post is a bit disjointed i'm trying to translate what he's saying into the post xD
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinobisoft:
If running a Windows PC and the device can boot in to fastboot, you can use Android Flash Recovery ( link in my signature ) to flash another recovery image. There are some more complicated ways using ADB, but well try to avoid them ATM ;) You can also use LGMDP to flash a different recovery image. There are several floating around here at XDA.

As for where he went wrong, I cannot say. Piece of advice, if in doubt - don't do it. ;)

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Junior Einstein:
Just flash a recovery from LGMDP for your phone.. then download a rom for your phone and wipe everything in recovery and flash the rom :)

And do not flash stock rom from kdz or lgmdp if you cannot boot your phone. It has high chances of bricking

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FPChaim:
Cm7(except a very old one from mik_os), stock gb and up requires new baseband. You can search for baseband fix and install through recovery ( I don't remember if it's old bb fix or new bb fix, try for yourself :p )

You can also search how to install new bb permanently but it's more difficult and has(I think) chances of bricking your phone
