Alright,buddy,I give it a try.:fingers-crossed:
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eventcom:
Happy New Year! Well, sorry for being a bit unresponsive - I'm really late (and still have no time) - just a quick $ 0.02: if I'm not totally mistaken it makes a huge difference if you use custom mtd partitions. The recovery makes an image of the partitions which means on restore the same size is expected (which would also apply to your sd-ext...)

Best bet should be: make a restore with the old settings (custom mtd partitions and sd-ext) and sequentially backup the stuff in other ways than with a nandroid backup. See if it works. Alternatively you could extract the stuff out of the backup - but this might become really painful...

Hope this helps.

BTW: my problem you were refering to has been totally different as I've never been stuck on boot - I had massive random reboots - so this was another story... ;)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimusodd:
Hello guys,Belated Happy New Year!!!Sorry for the late response.I was out of town and didn't have a chance to check the thread until today.I had finally got it working on 29th Dec after 15 days tearing my hair out trying to fix it.

Ah,after trying a lot of things and epic struggle finally some peace and quiet.:victory:

Thank you very much "heavy_metal_man" for your continued support and kind cooperation.I couldn't have done this without your inexhaustible support.I really appreciate it.

Thank you "eventcom" for the reply.I appreciate it.Though you were a bit late but you got it right.Probably it was the MTD thing.

I am not sure what exactly happened and what did the trick in the end.In all probability it was MTD partition thing which was messing up.

Not is case of Ext partition though.Because as I have mentioned my previous ext3 was 512 MB while now I am using 1GB Ext3 partition.

So I think Restore with old MTD settings and Ext partition >/= previous Ext partition should do the job.:)

After Nandroid Restore Superuser started malfunctioning.Apps (including Titanium Backup) requiring ROOT access were not getting required permissions while it was being displayed that Superuser had granted the permissions.Anyway,was able to resolve that problem somehow and now my device is working perfectly.:victory:

Great write up and worked perfectly. Any more tips tricks advice or links for non-gapps users?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7175:
Yeah man, glad it worked. Cheers to your cojones for trying it!

What I usually do for a no gapp solution is:

-grab the libjni_latinime lib from microgapps cause its needed for the aosp keyboard swipe usually

-use "gapps browser" for Google related stuff like gmaps.

-or use rmaps (this and gapps browser need the maps api, so you gotta pull the google maps framework jar or use the "no-gapps project" hack api /system/framework/*google*jar. Make sure to add the corresponding /etc/permissions/*google*xml files too)

-instead of gmail I use the standard email client of k9

-instead of play I use fdroid, aptoide sometimes, nextwap.net, or mobilism forums, or a lucky patcher cracked Google play. (careful with the non-fdroid ones)

Sorry bout this 6 month late reply, Jesus I gotta watch my posts more closely.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] dilan.ts:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S II plus running 4.2.2. Most of my apps are installed into my internal memory which shows up as my emulated sd card even though I have a 16gb class 10 sd card. I understand this is a Samsung design feature. I have two questions.

1) Can I install apps and save or download directly into my sd card without rooting my phone?

2) If I root my phone nd don't change the OS, would I still be able to update my phone according to Samsung OS updates?

Any help is appreciated. I'm having a tough time updating my apps as it says that I dont have enough memory. I am a noob. HELP PLEASE!!
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:
For any big games. Use foldermount. Search on Google play

So I bricked a SGH-M919 :laugh: messing around an now it does not turn on. Hey I learned a lot.:highfive:

My Linux PC does not see it when I plug the phone in or windows. I tried Kies for the hell of it an it doesn't detect my phone either lol

The good thing is I have another one :good:

Last time I bricked a phone was my Sprint GS3 an i just took it in and they replaced it with a new GS3.

I am new to T mobile and I would like to know if anyone here knows how T Mobile would go about the whole my GS4 doesn't turn on now because of something I did? Or should I just say I lost the phone?

Anyways thanks in advanced.:cowboy:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: replace phone

Your best bet is to say you lost it, that way they will

not ask questions or even think about checking out

the phone or even looking at it.

It's a lot easier and faster to get a replacement that way.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GhostSamuraiX:
You are right that is my best option thanks.

So I assumes this is a hard brick correct? Since it does not turn on? Is there anything I can do with a hard bricked phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
Well, tell me what steps you took that caused this brick? Can you get into download mode (holding down Vol Down + Home + Power)? When you plug your phone into a wall charger, does the screen light up with the battery logo?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GhostSamuraiX:
I was messing around with this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install

Got it to work for a few mins an then it just froze on me and I had to pull the battery out to reset. After rebooting it just stayed on a black screen like if its not even on. I tried all that an nothing. Odin nothing. When i plug it in PC or charging outlet with original charger nothing happens either nor those it light up with charging battery icon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
First thing it says... "It is an experimental development snapshot that can potentially brick your device." Someone on xda already had a pretty good running Ubuntu rom released so you didn't have to mess around. From the sounds of it, seems you may have hard bricked it. Maybe I am being hopeful, but connect the phone to your computer and look for any hardware changes. Any sign of life? And to answer your other question, if it is indeed a hard brick, without a JTAG/jig you are screwed.

Errr does the screen turn on and go black or does it not turn on at all? Big difference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GhostSamuraiX:
Yea I read all that. I am trying to port it over.

Send it in for repairs as the above poster said. It is better to drop some money on it than lieing to Tmo that you lost it... And I'm sure you would still have to pay the deductible. You are better off sending it in.

hi,

i looked around for instructions on how to upgrade the ROM but i couldn't find any.

i have a very old ROM and i want to upgrade it to the latest ROM that includes the A2DP, etc.

how do i go about installing it? is it like installing a regular application? i have a Qtek 9100.

thanks,
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mackaby007:
Re: Simple guide - Unlock Vario and update to other ROMs

For anyone else who has had the same problem as we did, follow these simple instructions:

First download lokiwiz v2b. Don't use previous versions or you'll not get through this!!

Hard reset your device (not necessary, but it ensures you'll have no hassle with Activesync).

Done that? Good. Extract the lokiwiz v2b .zip folder and copy enablerapi.cab to your memory card or to 'My Documents' folder on your device. Then execute the 'enablerapi.cab'.

Done? Just switch off the device (power button; put it in standby mode).

If you have Activesync already installed, un-install it and re-install directly afterwards (ensure a brand new partnership).

Then when prompted by Activesync, plug in your USB cable PC-PPC and it should recognise as usual.

Then execute the lokiwiz.bat file (in the folder that was generated earlier when you extracted the lokiwiz02b.zip file) and when you see the MS Dos (black screen) choose the option CID Unlock (SuperCID) and wait for it to COMPLETELY finish. You'll know it's finished when your Wizard is re-booting. Plug out your USB cable at this stage.

Once re-booted and back into WM5, re-connect your cable and if all goes well it should re-connect to Active Sync (wait till it has finished syncing or says connected!).

Finally......double click the executable file, which should be:

RUU_Prodigy_1060701_101_11310_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe

Hopefully it will now install the ROM without hiccups (about 10 minutes).

Sorry to you gurus for the lengthy explanation, but some of us are still relatively inexperienced to this and a thorough (if you can call it that) explanation of the processes will really be appreciated. I certainly have done when some of guys broke it down to me in the past.

I'm hoping this ROM will not dissapoint me as the others have done, as I've been getting quite frustrated and angry about the whole WM5 & HTC thing.

Good luck. :wink:

Thanks for the breakdown. I am new to all this, and not too au fait with all the developer terms, and it can be quite intimidating!

I have an O2 branded XDA Mini S and want to use it with Vodafone SIM card. The device is unlocked, so I can make and receive calls - good start!

However, I want to get rid of all the O2 branding and install the vodafone GPRS/SMS/MMS etc. settings. From what I've read on the forums, the O2 stuff slows the unit down, and it will all be irrelevant anyway. Does the extended ROM you refer to above then get the unit into an "unbranded" state?

Basically, I just want the unit without any trace of O2 (boot splach screen, O2 active etc.) and to be able to put the Vodafone settings in manually...

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
Typically when you want to downgrade your phone to an earlier (or shipped version) you need to first downgrade it to Button's 1.05, then you can "upgrade" to back to the desired 1.x or 2.x ROM.

Is that what you're asking?

how is possible to downgrade the wizard phone to 1.05?

I have a T-mob wizard phone with inside IPL 2.21.0001,GSM 2.19.11, OS 2.21.2.6.

2)perform again the flashing procedure.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] squarna:
Dear sir,

you true!!

I have just read a post were is explained that if you have G4 chip is not possible to downgrade or upgrade the ROM.

Bootloaders (IPL/SPL) with .0001 at the end of the version are G4 flash chips.

This info will be very halpefully for everybody need to perform any flashing action on wizard phone.

Do you confirm that is actually not possible to solve this issue?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
All 2.x Roms have G4 Bootloaders.

No 1.x Roms have G4 Bootloaders.

If you pay Imeicheck for CID unlocking you should be able to:

1. Use any 2.x Stock Rom.

2. Use any 2.x Custom Rom with G4 Bootloader.

3. Use any 2.x Custom Rom without Bootloader.

While some users have reported success downgrading a G4 device to a 1.x Rom for free COD unlocking others have bricked their phones because IPL gets changed to 1.x while SPL remains 2.x

Do any of these at your own risk.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] slimshadee:
Has this been definitively verified? I trust what you say kyphur, but you leave some question in your above post by using the word "should". I have paid imei-check to unlock my Cingular 8125 w/G4 chipset; the procedure went w/o a hitch, and their support staff claims that a CID unlock is completed as a part of their service (but how do I know until I actually try to re-flash my device?)

Can ANYONE with a G4 chipset wizard confirm that they have loaded a CUSTOM rom (like Mr. Clean) on their device after having it CID unlocked? How about a custom splash screen mod, or an extended rom mod? What bootloader was used to initiate these flashes?

If I understand you right kyphur, you are supposing a stock 2.x bootloader (lets say from cingular) could/should be coupled with the parts of a custom rom build to flash a CID unlocked G4, correct?

I modded the heck out of my G3 wizard, only to get it replaced on warranty with a G4...I sure do want to implement a ton of tweaks that I had on that G3...would be nice to hear others experiences...

Is there any way I can backup ROM before replacing it and then restore it from backup later again?

When replacing ROM, I don't have to replace bootloader, do I? If I don't replace bootloader, there is also possibility to make phone work again, even if I flash wrong ROM?

Do EXE files from this site replace bootloader?
