[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreadmad:
Hi,

I recently tried rooting my Samsung Galaxy S2 and after installing a insecure kernel for the root my phone simply stopped working (every time it is turned on it stops on the initial loading screen with the triangular warning to signify a insecure kernel.) I have tried installing a new secure kernel and a reset to factory settings however neither helped.

I did a search to look for solutions, however since I am a total noob in the area I didn't want to follow advice that wasn't specifically applicable to me incase I caused more damage so any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
1) Your phone isn't bricked. Bricked phones don't boot. At all.

2) Get a stock rom for your country/carrier from Samfirmware (not 4.0.4 in case you root your phone immediately after, forget you're running 4.0.4 & do a factory reset - you will brick your phone if this happens)

3) Boot into download mode (phone off - home/vol down/power), flash the stock rom with Odin (How ? Thread stickied near the top of Q&A).

4) If you have problems with the Odin flash, search for Hopper8's 'Odin won't flash' thread, stuff you can try in that thread almost always ensures you will eventually successfully flash the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreadmad:
Brilliant, this seems to have worked perfectly! Thank you very much :)

You're welcome ;) Glad you got it sorted.

I notice a lot of you seem to have GPS up and running on jasjar.

I had tottom running on my xda2 with backpack and CF GPS receiver, but as I could not use the CF GPS with JJ, I sold it with my xda along with my car cradle which was a window mount and I am hoping to find/install something a little sturdier (worried about the weight).

So please give me some ideas on a GPS receiver working with JJ and any thoughts on car cradles.

Cheers, Numb
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] universaldoc:
Your best bet would be to purchase a Bluetooth GPS receiver. There are plenty of them going around but the best one imo is the HOLUX GPSlim-236. It is based on the SIRFstar III chip which means it picks up more satellites and has a better connectivity. There are other SIRFstar III compliant BT GPS like Globalsat and the likes but the GPSlim-236 is the smallest and the lightest.

Regarding cradles for the JJ, there are many options again, but since it is rather "weighty", i suggest you buy a cradle that can be stuck or screwed onto your dashboard. I have seen the Dicota cradle which has this option and is pretty cheap too, about 15 quid if i am not mistaken.

Have fun searching!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sl9:
Actually, there are probably less than one might think. The HTC Universal has it's USB/Power connector on it's SIDE, which is where the left "arm" of most cradles grip onto it. This means you're going to have issues powering the device from the car cigarette ligher socket. I'm looking for a cradle at the moment with "arms" that are quite high up... :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] universaldoc:
Oh right! I completely forgot about that. My bad! I guess we will just haveta wait and see. Maybe you can email Arkon or Dicota and see if they can come up with something.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skearon:
I emailed Brodit (www.brodit.com) a few days ago and got a reply saying the will have powered mounts available at the end of the month
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cchris:
TT BT GPS works fine

You can use it with Arkon support, I did, you just have to put the power cord side up.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carnivor:
But if you rotated the JJ 90degrees so the usb connector is at the bottom that orientation would be nice to drop/slot into a dash mounted, basestation, that above the steeringwheel would be below my windscreen and be quite tasty for TT5, only issue then would be landscape map, which imo is slightly less revealing for the road ahead.

It could simply be velcro attached onto the dash reducing mounting issues, and you can easily make it cableless by making a hole in the dash underneath for the cable to pass through before arriving at the ciggly socket.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] irv777:
The destinator 3 with Globalsat BT 338 bluetooth gps receiver works well with the jasjar.....as for the cradle i bought mine from ebay and modified the two arms that olds the jasjar in place so it sits in place safely without falling off just incase i hit a big bump on the road and suddenly jumps out....i'll post a pic soon...its also a suction type holder and does not vibrate like the other pda holders.....it works well on portrait and also when the pda is on the landscape mode as the holder is adjustable.....as for the usb port, this is exactly placed under the arms of the holder so its not obstructing at all...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] irv777:
ok here are the pics for my jasjar cradle....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] inspectorgadjet:
I too have a Holux Slim 236 and it is very good. I would definitely recommend it.

I have not yet bought a car mount cradle for my JasJar. Until now I've been using a powered mount with built in amplified speaker for my BlueAngel from Silver Shield. I am that they will produce a similar one for the JasJar.

I think it would be brilliant if they came up with a cradle that can hold the JasJar with the flip open so you can actually use the keyboard on it with TomTom if you want to.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Churchill:
Hi irv777

Could you specify what is the make of the holder you used and maybe also where on ebay you bought it ??

Cheers
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] irv777:
i had to modify part of the arms to hold the jasjar in place as per shown in the above pics..... but u can get them on ebay or on the website www.online-electronics.com.au also try looking at this other holder i came accross as it might be a little bit better..... http://www.thepocketsolution.com/Me...egory_Code=jasjar_accessories&Product_Count=7
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] colinbate:
The holder from pocketpcsolutions.com looks like side arms will cover usb socket & therefor you wont be able to charge it.

Regards

Colin Bate
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ice_coffee:
I use an Arkon powered mount, its really good because it uses stanadard USB ports to power everything, so all you need is the standard USB cable, it also has an additional output for charging almost any BT GPS adaptor.

PS it also has a built in amp and speaker

and it fits perfectly

http://www.arkon.com/imgs_site/thumb_cm720.jpg
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Churchill:
ice_coffee,

Are you using HTC Universal with that Arcon holder? Because if I ook at the pic it looks like the side grips will cover the USB port since it is on the side of the HTC Universal
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Churchill:
irv777,

Thanx for the links looks good, I think it is going to be one of those two.

Although on the site of Arkon http://www.arkon.com/

Look at the Car holder for PSP it is horisontal and looks pretty steady, Question is if the Universal will fit in it ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ice_coffee:
Yes I have a universal, these pics I have uploaded should answer all your questions, I originally bought mine for my HP2110 but it fits perfectly. However if you do get one you will have to get your own standard USB sync and charge cable or wait for arcon to officially release it.

PS I forgot to mention I have a window sucker but its fine (ie it does not fall off ~ especially if the sucker is a bit wet)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Churchill:
Thanx mate...

I have just realised that I can also use the Landskape Left Hnaded and then all is good with my existing holder.

You just saved me aroung 25-30 Euros

Cheers
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berzxrk:
I recently tried flashing back to stock (JFD) from a CM 2.3.7 rom using Odin 1.7 and a 512 pit file. However, along the way I encountered many problems. For starters, the phone currently does not load past the vibrant boot screen; ergo, I can't call or text. During the process of flashing the stock rom, my phone had an error saying, "data wipe failed." Then my phone went to the Vibrant boot screen, which proceeded to the battery animation, instead of the usual T-Mobile boot screen/sounds. If I pulled the USB and pressed the power button, the phone would then proceed to continuously loop through the Vibrant boot screen.

The phone is most likely bricked right now, and I don't know how to fix it. I tried looking elsewhere and found people talking about flashing a "Eugene 2.2," but I have no idea what or where to find this; can anyone help?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berzxrk:
I went on to use AIO Vibrant Toolbox to try to restore to stock, but that persistent error keeps coming up. Halfway through the ODIN process, I can see my phone's screen show a bunch of words, scrolling up. Among those words say, "Data wipe failed."Afterwards, the phone loads the Vibrant boot screen and battery animation; ODIN says SUCCESS, although I know the flash didn't work. I have reason to believe this is why my phone isn't flashing properly?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devil-Dog:
Hope this will get you straight.

Try using Heimdall One Click from this thread.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PillboxHat:
This probably won't help in your case, but try pulling the external sd card if you haven't already. Pulling the external sd card has solved a few boot loops for me in the past, but they were related to a new rom install.

Hey guys ,,

i cant find wipe battery stats option ,, in CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch .. ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samersh72:
No need for it. When you charge your phone to 100% and unplug the charger, battery stats will be wiped

Sent from my Galaxy
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabryrider94:
a few days ago i cleared battery stats using battery calibration, and i have some trouble with my phone it power off with random battery percentage.

battery calibration can be the cause????
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samersh72:
no, i guess that it can not be the cause

battery calibration apps are useless... wipe cache, let your phone discharge to minimum percentage and then charge it to full continuously, then unplug when it reaches 100%.

if not, try another battery, it may have bad cells
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ngadhnjim:
its problem to ur battery only ...to fix problem permanently try change battery and bye new (gold power) with big mah ...

on restart of phone they powered off by default and not powered on before u put in charge or replace battery ,it work better try power saving option and install old bootloader via odin (if u dont like to change with new one) ...or you can start ur phone on safe mode than calibrate battery whait to charge 100 % and restart on normal mode with power saving enabled

---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

yes its battery voltage .i got that problem i change 2 batteries with normal mah of samsung and same problem happen ,than i bye new (gold power) with big mah and the problem gone (fixed) ...

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] @rka:
Make sure u have proper driver installed in your windows 8 system...there is some driver issue with windows 8.

Start Flashtool before connecting your phone. So that u will know if your phone is connected properly. connect USB to ur PC holding the down button. If tthings go right, it should go in flashmode and green LED should be on,..

Now, click the lightening button in flashtool and select the ftf file from your pc harddisk...it should flash ftf in your phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ag6ag:
hey i know that windows 8 have some driver issue so i start the computer with advanced option and " Disable driver signature enforcement "

and i have solved the drivers ... then i flash the phone normally ... any way thanks for the advance

hi all,

im in a cruzade for the past two days. I really need help. this is my last resort.

I want to stock my htc one x but i can't find a nandroid cid that actually works. The only cid i found in the web for htc__304 takes off touch capabilities, i can't even press my pincode. And now i can't even install a custom rom, i don't know what to do more.

im using CWM recovery.

Can you please help me maybe find a correct nandroid cid? Thank you

some info if it helps:

version: 0.5a

version-bootloader: 1.39.0000

version-baseband: 5.1204.162A.29

version-main: 3.20.401.1

product: endeavoru

platform: HBOOT-T30S

modelid: PJ4610000

cidnum: HTC__304
[HTC One X] fgth90:
What do you mean by "takes off touch capabilities".

If it's in CWM, there's solution like installing Philz Touch Recovery

See you

Franky
[HTC One X] el_tim:
the screen touch doesn't work after nandroid backup installation. But i think its something to do with the nandroid backup i downloaded. I want to test with other nandroids but can't find specific to my cid (htc_304)
[HTC One X] fgth90:
It doen't work on phone or CWM screen ?
[HTC One X] el_tim:
on phone, after splash screen. The keyboard appears for the pin code but i can't pass from there.

i tried the philz touch recovery as you said by doing a flash recovery throught fastboot but still not working.

Can it be a nandroid backup version problem?

hello, i have my s4 snapdragon version from a month now,i tried lots of differents rom to get rid of lag, but even in the smoothest or lightest rom, there is always a low framerate or microlag in the animation of closing and opening apps, i come from nexus 4 and xiaomi m2s, but i dont know really what is the cause of this,anyone got any idea? disabling hardware overlay helps a bit, but battery goes down very quickly,i hate this animation low framerate :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
Did you try changing the animation/window/transition speeds in the developer settings? Usually makes a good difference for me. I removed a lot of bloat in /system or you could disable any apps that you don't use to stop extra things running in the background. I also installed greenify to hiberate apps after they are used to stop them using resources.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fedef12evo:
yes, i tried, but i dont like fast animation, i like the normale animations, usually low framerate appears when i unlock the device, now im on crdroid aosp, and im going to try slim rom to see if changes something.... but i dont know what is this microlag, because with nexus and xiaomi all was smooth and fluid, with s4 is fast the same as nexus and xiaomi but no more smooth on animations

edit: i found the proble: it is the micro sd, when i put off micro sd and i use phone without it it's really fast and smooth, so what am i suppose to do now? change baseband?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
Interesting, what about reformatting the sd card on a PC to see if that helps in case its corrupted or clogged with older data? Just copy the files you want to keep to PC and copy back again once formatted.
