Read. Start in the General section, you'll find the root topic and a discussion topic with a link to SafeStrap and what it is if you want ROMs. Make sure to read through the SafeStrap stuff too, as it's not a typical recovery.

thanks, i will take a look at that now
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jusho:
Hei guys i've deodex my stock ROM through kitchen, but when i flash the zip file trough TWRP it say no MD5 found. I already check option and make sure no option checked about md5 verify. When i try flash again through cwm i got status 0. Anyone can help my problem:)

I am using 9152 btw.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
I am no t sure on this as there is no TWRP for the mega 6.3..but is there not an option in TWRP to skip the md5 check..or maybe add the extension .md5 to the file and see if that will work. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jusho:
I couldnt find any option to skip verify md5 in TWRP. Im using mega 5.8, and i got TWRP from goo manager. I'll try to add md5 extension, i'll give a report.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jusho:
When i read the log TWRP is already skip the md5, sorry my bad. But the problem is 'error execute updater binary'.

In the other thread someone mention to delete assert in updater script, but still no go.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Hmm..then I am at a lost also on this at this time.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jusho:
I've read something about updater script that miss place the mounted directory because natively kitchen doesnt support mega yet. I'll try the solution to add plugin to kitchen tomorow.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jusho:
Sir my problem error execute already pass with edify witch correct mount.

But my problem now it stuck at boot screen, 1st boot screen before samsung splash screen.

Her my updater script, and recovery.fstab.

Can you help me sir.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
I do not know enough on this TWRP and this is for the i9152 mega 5.8 which is different to my version which is the i527m mega 6.3, and i am not very good in scripts as i really never worked with them yet..sorry but i just do not know enough on this and i would not want to give wrong advise and it turns out to make your phone worse..sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jusho:
No problem sir, i'll figure it out. I think my kernel is the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bongski55:
[MENTION=5395929]jusho[/MENTION] I am also interested in cooking rom using kitchen. May I know what you inserted on the kitchen for the Galaxy Mega 5.8 compatibility file?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jusho:
Did you mean the edify file? I make it and name it crater as the ro.product in build prop. For the mounted directory i took from recovery.fstab but til now my working progress rom is without kernel. I dont know why if i include the kernel it alway stuck in boot screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bongski55:
Problem could be on the edify since our crater device is still not officially supported on the kitchen. Would you mind sharing that file here?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jusho:
Okay, this is my crater edify. But somehow it still doesnt work the kernel, so the solution remove boot.img from original_update folder before you set up working folder. Hope this help:o
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dom_xda:
Hi all. My S2 seems to have stopped recognising my SIM card, and won't display the IMEI number when I type *#06#. I think it may be related to this issue:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7997364

The network name is just shown as "(No service)", there is an exclamation triangle at the top left of my status bar, and a flight mode logo at the top right. Interestingly the phone is not actually in flight mode, long pressing the power button gives me the option to turn it on - but it never actually does it, it just sort of hangs in the process. Trying to access the mobile networks area of settings throws up the error "insert SIM card to access network services".

Unfortunately I have never rooted my phone, flashed or backed anything up.. so the majority of that thread doesn't really apply (or make much sense!) to me. This just started when I was putting my phone in and out of flight mode today. Based on this, what would be everybody's recommend plan of action? I found an app on the marketplace which seems to be designed to sort this out (assuming it's the issue in the thread I linked):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.helroz.GSII_Repair&hl=en

Like I say though, I've never actually rooted my phone. Do people agree it may be worth trying to root my phone for this app? I'm no longer under warranty anyway. I was also wondering about doing a factory reset - does anybody know if that would fix this issue, or does it not touch the files which are causing the issue?

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE 1 - just read that a factory reset won't do anything, so ignore that question - unless that's incorrect! Swinging towards rooting and getting busybox so I can run that app. All stuff which I know nothing about unfortunately.. I know I'll be able to find it online, but if anybody happens to have any nice easy guides, please feel free to post them here and save me some time :)

UPDATE 2 - fixed! Here's what I did, in case it helps anybody..

Rooted my phone using the following steps from Chainfire (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399):

- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip (these files can be downloaded from the same thread)

- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer

- Start ODIN

- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar

- Put your phone in download mode

- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer

- Make sure repartition is NOT checked

- Click the START button

- Wait for the phone to reboot

- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)

Downloaded and used this app:

Thanks to everybody who replied, and donations will be made to Chainfire and Helroz :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dom_xda:
Yeah, pretty much! Just slightly nervous as it's not something I know anything about at the moment, don't want to do more harm than good.

Thanks for that link, I had seen it but was unsure because it seems to be designed for people who've flashed a custom ROM, which I haven't.. but not sure if that would make a difference?

As MistahBungle said, probably not got much to lose so I'll give rooting a try. Has been on my to-do list for a while anyway. If I can't fix it that way, is this something that a Samsung service centre would deal with, or how else would I go about this?

Another quick question - I've noticed that my battery is now draining very quickly, just since this has started happening. Battery usage shows "cell standby" as being the main culprit, 95%. I've had a search about this, I'm guessing it's to do with the fact that my phone is constantly trying to get onto a network? The time is "100% without a network signal". Seems logical to me, but I wouldn't have thought it would do that if there's no SIM inserted in the phone..? Unfortunately I still can't seem to actually put the phone fully in flight mode, despite there being a flight mode logo in the notification bar. Oh well!

EDIT - this has been resolved, don't worry about answering my questions if you stumble across this thread. Details of the fix in the first post :)

idk where your getting zip from....and if you got this message after flashing a 4.3 rom you have to mount/partition/ and wipe internal sd card and emmc thats your error....and yes will delete everything on it...its recommended to backup all your files to pc then do the partition so you dont loose files

you shouldn't need to fastboot the boot.img since you are s-off I figured you were still s-on since you said it was stuck at boot.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dfarquhar:
Hello, all. I hope someone can help me with my SGH-T959W. Right now I'm at the point where the phone has CWM installed, but will only boot into recovery no matter what I do. I've followed the N00b guide to Flashing/Fixing the SGS4G, but clearly I'm missing something.

I tried to follow the Windows-based procedure for the SGH-T959W, but was unable to get version 1.40 to execute, and was unable to locate version 1.31.

So, given that the SGH-T959W and SGH-T959V are the same phone except for the bootloader, I tried the Java-based Stock KJ-6 + Root. The first time I tried it, the upload failed after the PIT, and the phone was no longer able to boot into anything other than download mode. I eventually managed to get it to the point where it tried to flash the modem, but I was never able to get the modem to flash successfully. I tried both under Windows and Linux, using two different PCs and every USB cable I could find, since I know those tend to be dodgy. Still, I've never gotten past flashing the modem, though sometimes it's done worse.

But at this point, I had a phone that would dutifully boot into CWM, so I could change strategy anyway. So I grabbed the unofficial Cyanogenmod 10.1, copied it to the root of the SD card, and tried to load that via CWM. It failed the hardware check.

That's problem #1. Is it possible to modify Cyanogenmod to check for the 959W instead of only the 959V?

Now, problem #2. I decided to give Slim ICS a whirl, since it's light on requirements and a 512MB/1GHz device would probably appreciate a lighter load. The two packages claim to install, but the progress bar never reaches 100%, and when I try to boot the phone, it just boots into CWM. It's a newer version of CWM now, and the startup logo is different, so something worked, but clearly not everything.

When installing, I did mount UMMU, factory reset, wipe the cache and the Davlik cache, mount UMMU, install, then fix perms. But I still get that loop back to CWM.

So something critical didn’t take, however many times I tried (I've lost count, but I think I'm going on 10), and I don't know the architecture well enough to know where to start looking. I'm pretty comfortable with other operating systems, but this is only the second Android device I've tried to customize.

I suspect I can’t solve any other problem until I solve problem #2, regardless of which distro I end up wanting to run.

Sorry for the long-winded post, but I figured the more questions I answered up front, the better the chances of fixing this would be.

Thanks for any help you're willing to offer a n00b.

Look here for 1.3.1.

Nope, not a CWM issue. Ever since TeamAcid and I started on CM9 (and I believe the last few CM7 builds) added support for T959W. Almost everyone (thankfully! :)) has kanged those device trees and also support T959W. I'm sure other T959W users will chime in to tell you that 97% of all roms here work on T959W. (GB and forward)

Crazy mount setups shouldn't matter anymore. That was an oldschool Froyo/Early GB thing. Almost all new CWM install scripts do the right thing now.

I like the long posts! Especially when then they contain more detail for me to help you figure out your problem with. I'm also partial to the short posts that include logs! :cool:

[MENTION=4703966]TwitchyEye[/MENTION] you're right ;) That is the heimdall oneclick that should be used.

[MENTION=5466910]dfarquhar[/MENTION] I think using the heimdall oneclick that [MENTION=3384901]getochkn[/MENTION] made should be the right path for you. Make sure you use the right version of heimdall. Make sure you completely remove the old version (software and drivers), use zdiag to make absolutely sure!

If all else fails, post here again! (maybe with logs :))
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dfarquhar:
Thanks everyone. I grabbed v 1.3.1, so I'm getting ready to try it now.

If anything goes wrong, I'll look into where the logs are stored and how to retrieve them, and I'll be back. Assuming I can't use the logs to figure it out on my own of course.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Sometimes, it's just the output you see on your screen is a good enough log ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dfarquhar:
Got it working! Heimdall 1.3.1 was the key. I then turned around and flashed Slim ICS since I had it on the SD card already, and it worked. I'm debating whether to move on to Slim Bean, but maybe I need to leave well enough alone for a few days now that I have a working phone. :)

Thanks again,

So I called all my local T-Mobile stores and none of them carry the watch, only the phone. So I called up Customer Care and they said they can't place the order through the phone, I have to go through the website.

Well I tried ordering it through the website but kept getting errors, waited a bit and it is now Out of Stock.

Well that's unfortunately since they are offering Free Shipping on Accessories + 20 percent off with FallFun20 code which could potentially bring the watch down to $240ish shipped. Not too bad eh?

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] squiggs1982:
The blue angel doesn't have built in GPS capabilities, so you'd have to use an external receiver. You can get these for as little as £60 if you hunt around.

In my humble opinion, Tomtom is the best software out there. I recently upgraded to v5 and it's excellent. Try globalpositioningsystems.co.uk for some ok deals.

Hi.

This is a recent problem with my phone, the user interface in many apps freezes for up to several seconds in response to simple user actions like entering a text field (which brings up the keyboard) or switching between threads in Messaging app. This is not app specific, all the apps I usually use are affected. While frozen, the wireless (or mobile data) icon in notification center shows activity.

I decided to cut off all data to the tablet and it started to respond very quickly.

This is not a memory/cpu problem: The device is a galaxy not 10.1

I don't want to solve this problem by factory-resetting the device, I prefer to find the cure, it being a badly designed feedback feature or a spyware.

Any help?
