[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Pants_:
Hi Everyone,

Problem:

Unable to flash:

RSD Lite reports:

Failed Flashing Process.Failed Flashing Process. Unable To Retrieve Interface Handle. (0x7027)

Question(s):

How do I prevent this error from occuring so I can flash my phone?

Is there a problem with my SBF file?

Does the phone need to have more space? (the SD card only has about

Background:

I am trying to replace the stock OS on my Motorola Defy with CM7.

However the CM7 documentation says 2.2.2 Froyo is needed, and the phone currently has 2.1-update1 so I have to first flash the SBF to 2.2.2.

Phone Specs.

Technology: UMTS

Software Version: JRDNEM_U3_2.59.0EPU93ST2_U_03.0E.02

Flex Version: UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA035.0R

Bootloader Version: 0910

DRM Version: N/A

Baseband Version: EPU93ST2_U_03.0E.02

I believe this is the Green model, as I checked catlog to check the camera logs, there are a few entries starting with:

LibSOCCa....​

I am following these instructions:

[GUIDE] All-in-One Defy Beginner's guide

Link:	http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1216982

I have rooted it some time ago, using ADB and verified with the superuser app and titanium backup that it works so I'm skipping the root step.
​

After some digging I found the following SBF:

Official Froyo 2.2 (2.2.2) SBF for Telstra Australia.

Thread link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179381​

The SBF file had a really long name, so I renamed it to Froyo2.sbf, and moved it into D:\

Next I downloaded and installed RSDLite 5.7.

It recognises the phone just fine when it is plugged in under the normal mode, but not if I boot it into bootloader mode manually (power + up).

So I figured I'd try using it in the normal mode.

When I hit: Start -the phone reboots into bootlauncher, but nothing happens for a while.

Then RSD Lite reports:

Failed Flashing Process.Failed Flashing Process. Unable To Retrieve Interface Handle. (0x7027) ​

I'm not sure where I am going wrong.

The phone boots back into its normal operations afterwards, so I haven't got it stuck/bricked.

Apologies if I haven't given enough information to understand what is going wrong.

Please let me know and I'll be happy to add any extra screendumps etc.

I have done a search but couldn't find a similar issue in these forums for the Defy

Open rsdlite, then connect the phone in bootloader (volume up+power) mode. Select the file and then click start.

Make sure you have the latest drivers and rsdlite. Get rsdlite 6.1.

Wondering how i can uninstall a launcher (nova specifically) from a rom that comes with many launchers (apex,holo) by default.

i downloaded beanstalk and it comes with a choice of like 4 different launchers. what id like to do is completely uninstall the nova option.

how can i completely remove nova as an option so it does not exist on my phone? in manage apps there is an option to disable but not uninstall.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Interflop:
Have you tried using a Root Uninstaller to remove it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jaguarpaw:
no not yet. i just downloaded it from the market and will give it a shot. thanks.

youve used it with success?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Interflop:
I've used it to uninstall baked in apps so it should work to remove Nova Launcher. Let me know if you have any luck.
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
Hey all,

Im trying to find a way to organize my songs somehow.

I would like to separate my music into to categories or folders, one for rock and one for country and then be able to pick either country or rock from my stock Htc music player.

I can/have hooked my phone up to my comp, created 2 folders and organized my songs accordingly. The problem is when I start up my music player the player does not recognize the folders and just gives me a complete list of songs on my phone.

Sometimes I just want to listen to rock and other times, chill out to some country. If I had the ability to pick a gene/folder within my music player, then I could just shuffle all songs within that folder only.

I have not been able to figure out how to make the phone/music player recognize folders

Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

Thank you,
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
I do believe you can set up playlists and just pick that from the music player, otherwise find a music player that does support them.
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
I have tons of songs for each gen. It would not be worth it to hand pick the songs, way to time consuming. Its quicker to just skip songs, that is what I'm doing now, Hoping for a much better solution.

Thanks for the input
[HTC Rezound] kc6wke:
Try this

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrtstudio.AnotherMusicPlayer

Browse and play your music by albums, artists, genres, songs, podcasts, folders, composers, videos and playlists
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
Sounds like that might work, Im going to give it a try

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Although not folder sorted, separation by Genre is sort of built into the MP3 standard, you just have to add the appropriate Genre tag to the files. There are multiple programs for Windows/Mac/Linux that can edit MP3 tags on single or multiple files at once. Then you just need a music player that can sort and play by Genre, like Winamp, PowerAmp, Fusion, N7, or most full-featured players.
[HTC Rezound] zourn:
You can also use an app like this to make playlists based off of what songs are in what folder.
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
Thanks Zourn, I will check that out.

Sounds like with the feed back Im getting, something is going to work for me

Thanks everyone

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nelayme:
Hey guys,

Today I decided to flash TrickDroid 10.0.0. Everything went well, installed it and at the end of flashing appeared a blue screen saying "Please wait". Waited for about 8-10 minutes, than just clicked once a power button. It asked me do I really wanna quit Aroma installation, pressed No. Then something "magical" happened and it was saying that installation is finished, click to reboot. So I did. After this step my phone won't turn on in any ways, tried to connect to pc - still no signs, it even won't charging..

How can I bring it to life!? Or this is it?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllAboutTheCore:
Hold Power and Volume down until it goes into the bootloader, from there go into recovery and try re-flashing.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nelayme:
Tried this many times but still nothing happens. I think it's totally bricked
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
Put it under a light, a very strong light and longpress the power button, try this :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllAboutTheCore:
Are you S-On or S-Off? If you're S-On it isn't possible for you to totally brick the phone as far as I'm aware ... Especially not from flashing a ROM.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nelayme:
I'm S-On. I was searching for a solution later today and I found JTAG Riff box (actually, the service which brings the phones back to life by using this tool). However they can't help me at all, cause my phone isn't listed in that repairable list (not sure why). And the other thing they said was that I need to change the mainboard, because there're no other ways how to fix this problem. And it's a job for htc, not for them.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hapticc:
if your phone is booting to recovery you can still fix it without replacing mainboard just download cyanogenmod once and try flashing it after wiping everything and see if phone boots up. if it does you can use another custom sense 5rom and if it doesnt htc is the way to go
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
You're not bricked at all, calm down. Aroma crashes all the time and you just didn't finish the rom installation. Go back into recovery, wipe everything and flash it again. To turn the phone off, plug it into your PC and type 'adb reboot' and then hold down power and volume down as it is rebooting.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mohsin200010:
The first street of entering into the way of rooting is to unlock bootloader of your phone for which you have to check that if it is possible to unlock the bootloader of your xperia device

After that abide the given procedure-

Dial *#*#7378423#*#* in your phone dialer pad

Select Service info >> Configuration >> Rooting Status.

If bootloader unlock allowed says Yes,

then you can continue :)

Now open this link

http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions

Then scroll down and click on continue

Click on yes, I am sure :)

Now tick all the boxes and click on I accept button

After this fill your details :)

For Your IMEI Number Dial:*#06#

And submit it

At this step the unlock key is sent to your email which you have provided in your detail

so check your email for the key and copy it somewhere as you will need it later

Now download this zip file and extract it anywhere in your pc/laptop

Switch off your xperia device

Hold the menu button and connect the usb cable to your pc/laptop

You will see blue light instead of red ,green etc

Blue light means your phone is in fastboot mode.

Now open the folder which you have extracted before from the download zip file

And hold shift button on your pc/laptop and right click anywhere in the folder

and select open command window here….

You will see a command prompt

Type this in the command prompt

It will response back (for example: 0.1) it means phone is properly connected to the pc/laptop….

Now enter this line in the command prompt but before this we have to modify something in it

Instead of ‘KEY’ enter your unlock key which you have got from your email :)

And hit enter :)

Congratulations you have crossed the river of unlocking the bootloader and you have entered into the way of rooting :)

I hope that by following these steps you have unlocked the bootloader but for your further better understanding this video will help you out in making this enigmatic task a little easier.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nugget123:
Hello, I rooted my handset yesterday following the tutorial on Android Forums, my Vodafone (UK) branded build is JDQ39.I9505XXUBMEA

I also installed CWM PhilZ Touch 5 (v6.0.3.7)

It works fine inside the OS but occasionally, when I restart the phone, it just hangs on the Samsung Mobile logo?

When that happens, I have to hold the power button then hold Up+Home and boot into PhilZ and then go to Reboot System Now and that restarts the phone mostly back into Android as normal.

Any ideas what the problem could be?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChampMEon:
Good question. Haven't come accross something like that. I suggest flashing whatever ROM you want. It should get rid of your problem. If you still want a stable rom with all Samsung features, download Wanamlite 2.0 rom. It's a very good replacement for your stock rom. Or you can try Omege rom. It includes all samsung bloatware incl. S HEALTH etc.

Good luck and let us know! :thumbup:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nugget123:
Thanks for the quick reply.

I have used CWM to do a full data back up onto my SD card. As I'm new to rooting, is there a way I can restore that data onto a new rom so I don't have to keep setting up my phone completely? Even like, settings and shortcuts on the home screen etc?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChampMEon:
Not really. What you can do is backup all your apps etsc with Titaniumbackup. With this you can restore all apps+data.

Setting up your phone isn't that bad considering its only settings.

Tha initial backup youve made through CWM is only a backup of your system. I dont think this includes all apps. I never revert to a previous rom. I prever a clean install to have the best rom exlerience without bugs etc.

If you try a new rom. And you dont like it at all(not likely) or for whatever reason you want to revert to you stock rom. You can restore it via CWM. Thats about the only reason why youve made that backup.

Good luck.

Oh yes, one more thing. Remember to press the Thanks button ;) :thumbup: :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nugget123:
Will that (Titanium) back up my apps exact settings as well? Say like my login details or custom settings I have changed within an app?

So the back up I made using CWM (which was complete data and apps and cache I think?) can restore my phone to exactly the instance when I pressed back up including the ROM?

To be honest, I'd be interested in the same Vodafone rom that's rooted so I can just use Titanium to freeze the bloatware, I've had a look at the recommended ROMs which have options to disable loads of Samsung bloatware but I use a lot of them...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synok123:
Hello all,

Two days ago, my phone gave up on me, at least the Micro-USB. I have had my Xperia X10i since release, which I believe was summer 2010. It made me very sad, since I no longer would have a phone and thinking back to all the ROMs, rooting and other fun stuff I used it for. It would not charge anymore.

Going in to several repair shops they told me the same. Changing the Micro-USB port that was soldered to the motherboard of the phone would be a pain, both in work and for the wallet. Everyone told me it was better to get a new one.

But I wouldn't accept that.

At writing moment, my phone is almost fully charged and I did this discovering a few tricks. That's why I want to help you to fix your phone and not lose hope just yet. First of all, my phone showed symptoms of battery draining very fast from times, charging would only do if it was connected in a specific way, etc. If you have the same or similar symptoms, follow me below;

1. First step is to find some Acetone. It is used for cleaning and I bought a bottle for around 3$. This might not be necessary, but it's worth a shot! I also used a flat screwdriver, preferably quite small. Put the screwdriver on a flat surface with paper or something underneath. Pour some Acetone on and wait for a few seconds. Now take out your battery and without battery in your phone, press the Power ON to discharge it.

You can preferably use a needle for cleaning, I just used a screwdriver since it was the thing I happened to have around. Clean inside the Micro-USB port very carefully for dust. Now put the battery in and try charging your phone again. If you still have problems, follow along...

2. Take out your charger and look at it. At the front of it you can see the metal part which is inserted into the Micro-USB. Take a small nipper and press the two sides together, forming a very slight bend on the metal. Alternatively, which I did, was to take my screwdriver previously and press the side of the metal with it, against the edge of the table or whatever (not very clever). The goal is still to form a slight bend and make the Micro-USB connector a bit tighter. Try plugging it in after doing so. If it still doesn't work, follow along...

3. Sometimes I guess it might just be the battery that might be the problem. I used mine for 3 years now, and the lifetime for an Iphone is normally around 2 years. Try changing the battery, best would be if your friend or a relative have a similar phone.

4. Last but not least, just because it doesn't start charging upon connecting to the phone doesn't mean it wont charge at all. I told you previously of my phone charging, but my charger will need to be inserted in a specific way and it needs a constant pressure on it. I have a few books stacked on it now while charging. So keep the Micro-USB clean, try bending your connector and good luck.

I just saved myself 220$.

I was trying to do a backup on my sgh-t989 with clockworkmod and it kept locking up so went into the shell over adb to look at dmesg. This is what turned up:

So, I proceeded to turn e2fsck on it, but there are many, many, many problems:

Not sure if I should allow fsck to fix these. Usually, on Linux, this many errors mean a format of the partition. I don't know for sure what the parition is but it looks like Samsung system (Gingerbread) stuff:

Any thoughts on next steps? If I format the partition I'm pretty much out of an OS. I was not able to flash CM 10.1 nor CM 9.1 as they would boot loop. Suspecting the partition problems, but not sure. It could be a much deeper promlem with underlying media. Is this parition on the removable CF card, or internal to the phone?

Thanks,Sorry so long. Trying to be thorough.

Go grab twrp 2.6.0.4, its 4.3 compatible and won't give u any issues like cwm does, plus its easier to use, if u need help with it pm me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pyraxiate:
Try using a program like titanium backup ( I use Pro ) and save your apps+ data + system data ( messages / Bookmarks / wifi aps etc ) to an external card. Then, Odin the stock Image which will reformat and repair things. Afterwards, Odin twrp ( not cwm as it likely corrupted partitions to begin with) and reflash your rom. After the rom is good to go, restore all non system apps and data along with the titanium backed up settings / messages. If you have the pro version, it's executed as a batch and restores it all without pushing a single button after selecting what you want to restore. The whole process to restore only takes about 5 minutes. I always clean flash all roms and restore with titanium. It ensures no issues are brought along from the old rom :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eris170:
Ended up tarring up the files on the partition, formatting it with mke2fs and then using tune2fs to get the FS features worked out. Once it was mounting as ext4, I untarred the files back and all good now.

Glad to hear you are back up and running ! I used to be an avid cwm user but fit the last 4 devices I've stuck with twrp. Cwm had too many issues restoring backups for me, along with not letting me restore backups I made using earlier versions after upgrading cwm. Twrp hasn't given me any issues at all changing between versions. On my note 2, I'm constantly swapping between 2 different roms depending on whether I need wifi calling at the time or not.
