Turn Off your phone and Boot into Download Mode by Pressing Volume Down Key + Home Key + Power

I got stuck at the line above. When the Samsung logo apears i still hold the keys. In a split second i see the "clockwork mod recovery" and the phone continue's with booting.

I tried it about 20 times now. Any help!
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] PR0707YP3:
To boot into download mode press the volume up + home + power button it should take u into download mode.

Hit thanks if i helped
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] sjaakfaal:
One minor detail ..... release all buttons when you see the samsung logo.

So, hit thanks if i helped :)

One final question before i hit the "install from zip" button.

Does this root method cause bootloops yes or no?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] sjaakfaal:
Great, it worked! I have a rooted Ace Plus. Lets remove the Samsung crap!

newbie here:(

hi hi. i'm so unfamiliar with all of this stuff. can someone tell me why i should root my ace plus and why i shouldn't? i will really appreciate that;)
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] zyxw-androidiani:
hi, if you are asking this probably you don't need root :D the root allow you to have the access of all the system. If you have the stock firmware there are system app that you can't uninstall for example chat on and app like this but with root you can uninstall without problem. There are some app on play store that need the root so and if you use an app that required root you must do, so it depends by your needs. But remeber if you want root your phone be careful, don't uninstall app that the phone required for running else you will get boot loop. I hope I was helpful. :)

Da problem

Heya all. First of all, thank you for everything you post, it is very usefull, by my opinion. Ok, i gotta problem here, i did everything you wrote here to do my s7500 and right after booting into download mode my phone gets stuck, downloading. Looks like it got stuck somehow, Odin cant see it. What should i do? Thanks!

I cant add screenshot due to new membership on forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] zyxw-androidiani:
Had you press the volume key to continue on download mode ?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] srgadin:
Yes sir, everything is good now, i supose my pc had some UBS issues, it is fixed now, i think it is :) Now goin to unlock it. Thanks, this was very usefull :)

Yo, i don't if this thread still active but i'm running into an issue, is it possible to put supersu in an internal storage instead? Is there like a drawback to this? I don't have any sd card lying around.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] TheStalinator:
Man help, ID:COM in Odin wont turn yellow, what should i do???

If i press on start, it does nothing..

P.S I carefully listened to your instructions, so i believe it is not because of that..
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Archit16:
Hi! i tried doing the steps you told but i am not able to enter CWM mode. It just shows blank screen & when i try to reboot device it keeps on rebooting for ever. pls advice on what should i do.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] vilo2:
PLease

If I root to my gt s7500, as explained here, I can use any sim card from other carriers?
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Rust Metal:
Hi there.

I know I'm a little late, but I have some problems while rooting my GT-S7500.

Basically, Odin doesn't recognize the device.

When I connect the phone in download mode to the computer via USB cable, it doesn't show up on Odin, and the PC says "USB device not recognized".

I tried fixing this via Kies drivers, nothing changes.

Thank you for your time
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LegoFarmer:
So I have the Zero lemon 7000mah battery now. I let my phone die so I can get a full charge. Last night, I let it charge for 8 hours. When the phone was off, it told me that the battery was at 100%,when I boot it up, it isn't even at 50%...so I turned it off and it said the same thing while it was charging. Please help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DiSiD:
I honestly do not know the correct answer for you. I do know with zero lemon, Hyperion, etc...those 7000 mah batteries should never be discharged to zero. If memory serves me, never below 3%.

You may want to try the 12 hour minimum charge cycles again like when it was new? Also, maybe you could use a better charger/cable? I had a zero lemon that started acting wonky at right about 6 months, and they were good about honoring the warranty. While I was waiting for the replacement, I ordered the Hyperion 7000 mah, and they have a 2 year warranty. I've only had it a couple of months, and so far very much like the zero lemon. It actually seems exactly the same (except for the warranty).

One last thing, and this may not be good advice, but I picked up a rocket fish charger, it charges at 1 mah instead of .5 like the standard charger....Just because it charges twice as fast. No one told me to do that, and I don't know if it's bad or good. I figured they wouldn't sell rapid chargers if they were bad.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LegoFarmer:
I let it charge overnight until it was 100%, and it was when I got up. I checked it like a minute later and it was 44%... This is a bit ridiculous.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DiSiD:
Have you completely powered off your phone? That might help. If it doesn't, zero lemon was very good about replacing my battery...Maybe get a replacement.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LegoFarmer:
Well it charged 1% every 15 minutes at its current rate. That is obscene.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Y8DNN:
I travel around a lot in my vacation and in many cases there aren't any power outlets. TBH I was a little bit hesitant about getting an aftermarket battery online at first but the truth is I couldn't be more happy with the increased battery life, stop worrying about my intense use of map and 3G data. MPJ also sent me a free case since my stock was no longer fits. I've owned it for a month, charging my Galaxy S Advance every two nights and haven't had any degradation so far.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] shut_down:
This is some kind of marketing or what? Can you show us some screenshots of your battery life, and what battery you used exacly? :D
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] abhi92raj:

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] spleen1981:

I'd ask also how long it takes to charge...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yadnit:
Hey guys i purchased a sony xperia z1 about few months back and m sure my device has a faulty screen with a dead cell on it.... Sometimes it show many vertical black lines extending the whole screen... I have seen videos of teardown xperia z1 on youtube and realy worried by seeing how they open up the fone... Guys please advise me weather i should get it done from sony within warranty or i should let it be as it is as i don't want any further problems with my fone if sony center could not fix my fone like a new brand device.. M worried that my fone will lose it waterproof seal or Won't look like a new fone or loss of functionality in any manner.

Please suggest me guys asap wht should i do...??
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limiter121:
You should take it to a Sony service center and have it checked, just to be sure. If the display is faulty then they should replace it under warranty.

As for the waterproofing, the service center should do a vacuum test (as it is stated here) to see if the phone is sealed properly after the repair (if they do decide to repair and not replace it).
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TagEHeuer:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limiter121:
If they said that you'll get a replacement phone and not a repaired / refurbished one, then that is what *should* happen.

I found this post here in which they replaced just the phone without the accessories, so it might be true that they do replacements like that.

Hope you get a new and problem-free one :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdan wst:
yadnit: my phone was replaced because of a faulty display, with a brand new one by the carrier i've bought it from. They did exactly what you said. They took just the faulty device, without any of the accesories that came with it in the box. They took my original Z1 box too. When the replacement arrived, it came in my original box, without being any kind of sealing. The phone had those protection plastic foils on it and when i started it, it was on .534 fw although my faulty unit was updated to .257 fw.

Another very important thing to pay attention to, is the new phone's IMEI. Mine has now a differen IMEI and even more :) it is unbranded and not simlocked (the faulty unit was branded and sim-locked also).

Hope this helps you!

[Zooper Widget General] kwerdenker:
Collection of advanced parameters

Here are some ready-made advanced parameter input for different usage scenarios.

[Cell signal strength]

The following code emulates the cell signal strength as it would show in your status bar. Depending on how you use it, you'll have to replace the numbers with links to bitmaps or something similiar.

$[#NCSIG#>=12] && [#NCSIG#<99]?4$
$[#NCSIG#>=8] && [#NCSIG#<12]?3$
$[#NCSIG#>=5] && [#NCSIG#<8]?2$
$[#NCSIG#>2] && [#NCSIG#<5]?1$
$[#NCSIG#<=2] || [#NCSIG#=99]?0$﻿

Display Tomorrow/Today/Date for calendar events

This is the code for the next event. If you want to do it for other events too, you have to replace all the C0 with C1, C2, etc

$#C0SddMM#=#DddMM#?Today$$#C0SddMM#=#W1DddMM#?Tomorrow$$[#C0SddMM#!=#W1DddMM#] && [#C0SddMM#!=#DddMM#]?#C0SEEEE#$

[Count the days/hours/minutes/... to or from a specific date]

#D<year><month><day><hours><minutes>T<formatstring>#

This works for past as well as future dates. If for example you want to count the days since last christmas, you would write the following:

#D201312240000Td#

Display Wind Direction as N/W/E/etc.

By SportyRydr

Anyway, here is a formula I came up with to convert Zooper's wind direction degrees to cardinal (0°=N, 90°=E, etc):

$[#WCWDIR#>348.75 || #WCWDIR#<=11.25] && #WCWSPEED#!=0?N #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>11.25] && [#WCWDIR#<=33.75]?NNE #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>33.75] && [#WCWDIR#<=56.25]?NE #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>56.25] && [#WCWDIR#<=78.75]?ENE #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>78.75] && [#WCWDIR#<=101.25]?E #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>101.25] && [#WCWDIR#<=123.75]?ESE #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>123.75] && [#WCWDIR#<=146.25]?SE #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>146.25] && [#WCWDIR#<=168.75]?SSE #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>168.75] && [#WCWDIR#<=191.25]?S #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>191.25] && [#WCWDIR#<=213.75]?SSW #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>213.75] && [#WCWDIR#<=236.25]?SW #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>236.25] && [#WCWDIR#<=258.75]?WSW #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>258.75] && [#WCWDIR#<=281.25]?W #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>281.25] && [#WCWDIR#<=303.75]?WNW #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>303.75] && [#WCWDIR#<=326.25]?NW #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>326.25] && [#WCWDIR#<=348.75]?NNW #WCWSPEED#$$#WCWSPEED#=0mph?Calm$​

To make a wifi signal strength i should follow the same path?
[Zooper Widget General] kwerdenker:
Not exactly. Wifi only goes from 0-9 and also has another mapping from values to bars/quality which I haven't taken a look at.
[Zooper Widget General] kwerdenker:
This code isn't meant for an icon set, it's only for the use in text modules or advanced parameters. What you could do, if you have saved these icons somewhere on your sd card is to use this as an advanced parameter on a bitmap module:

$[#NCSIG#>=12] && [#NCSIG#<99]?[b]/path/to/pictures/4.png[/b]$
$[#NCSIG#>=8] && [#NCSIG#<12]?[b]/path/to/pictures/3.png[/b]$
$[#NCSIG#>=5] && [#NCSIG#<8]?[b]/path/to/pictures/2.png[/b]$
$[#NCSIG#>2] && [#NCSIG#<5]?[b]/path/to/pictures/1.png[/b]$
$[#NCSIG#<=2] || [#NCSIG#=99]?[b]/path/to/pictures/0.png[/b]$
[Zooper Widget General] heXacode:
Yeah that's what mine looked like before you replied. Here's a screenshot in the bitmap icon sets advanced parameters...

It still shows nothing. I wonder if I'm missing something like maybe a XML file? I wouldn't think it would need to rely on XML because there's nothing needed to call onto the XML to grab the proper png's.
[Zooper Widget General] kwerdenker:
This is probably due to Tapatalk but what you are not seeing in the code I posted is that you need to put (b)(/b) (replace () with [], this is done just to circumvent the Tapatalk issue) tags around your filepath to make it work. Open my post in a browser instead of Tapatalk to see what I mean :)
[Zooper Widget General] heXacode:
OK redid the code following yours and still isn't showing up at all.

Would you mind telling me how you would do it step by step using WiFi icons from scratch? Maybe I messed up somewhere. This zooper widget wasn't created by me but shared by someone else and in his screen shot presentation it showed working Wi-Fi icons. When I added everything to zooper Wi-Fi and cellular were the only 2 not showing up.

I have tried asking him what he did to get it to work but I haven't heard back from him.

Here's 2 screen shots to provide clues maybe.

1st pic is bitmap icon sets where the WiFi icons are located according to how this guy created it. I didn't see parameters when I first opened it when checking why it wasn't showing up. Same with cellular.

2nd pic is the WiFi icons labeled as 0.PNG 1.PNG 2.PNG etc.
[Zooper Widget General] kwerdenker:
I just realized something: you are using this on a Bitmap Iconset module, right? That's not how this is supposed to work :) That module is only intended for iconsets in Zoopers ZIP format (for reference check both iconset links under the tutorial section in the first post). If you do it with advanced parameters, you have to use a normal Bitmap module.
[Zooper Widget General] heXacode:
Oh I think I get it. Since it isn't in zooper zip format I'll have to use bitmap static module and create separate module for each PNG.
[Zooper Widget General] kwerdenker:
Actually you just need one Bitmap module with the code we worked out as advanced parameters. On a normal (static) Bitmap Module, this code should always load only one of the bitmaps, depending on the condition that renders true.
[Zooper Widget General] rachelm920:
Just thought I'd chime in with a snippet of code that I used to get play/pause text working for my widget. I had to figure it out on my own, so I thought I'd post it here for anyone else who may want it in the future. (Remember you need Media Utilities to get zooper to work with the media player) I went for a minimalist effect, so I'm using text and not bitmaps. Quite possibly the same effect can be reached pointing to an image file instead of displaying text...

$#TMU_ISPLAYING#=0?Play$$#TMU_ISPLAYING#=1?Pause$
[Zooper Widget General] kwerdenker:
Thank you for the contribution to this thread! :good:

You can also achieve the same effect with less typing by using the following code

$#TMU_ISPLAYING#=0?Play:Pause$

This works because Zooper supports an if/else conditional, meaning the part between the ? and the : is used if the condition is true and the part after the : is used in case it's false. It'll do the same as the code you posted but it's a bit faster to type.

Wind direction degrees to cardinal

So, I've been addicted to Zooper since just before Christmas. lol I've been recreating a Windows Mobile today screen plugin I used to use. SBSH PocketWeather allowed you to make endlessly-customizable skins to display its extensive weather data. But it was never ported to Android. With Zooper assisted by Tasker, I finally have it back!

Anyway, here is a formula I came up with to convert Zooper's wind direction degrees to cardinal (0°=N, 90°=E, etc):

$[#WCWDIR#>348.75 || #WCWDIR#<=11.25] && #WCWSPEED#!=0mph?N #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>11.25] && [#WCWDIR#<=33.75]?NNE #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>33.75] && [#WCWDIR#<=56.25]?NE #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>56.25] && [#WCWDIR#<=78.75]?ENE #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>78.75] && [#WCWDIR#<=101.25]?E #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>101.25] && [#WCWDIR#<=123.75]?ESE #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>123.75] && [#WCWDIR#<=146.25]?SE #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>146.25] && [#WCWDIR#<=168.75]?SSE #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>168.75] && [#WCWDIR#<=191.25]?S #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>191.25] && [#WCWDIR#<=213.75]?SSW #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>213.75] && [#WCWDIR#<=236.25]?SW #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>236.25] && [#WCWDIR#<=258.75]?WSW #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>258.75] && [#WCWDIR#<=281.25]?W #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>281.25] && [#WCWDIR#<=303.75]?WNW #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>303.75] && [#WCWDIR#<=326.25]?NW #WCWSPEED#$$[#WCWDIR#>326.25] && [#WCWDIR#<=348.75]?NNW #WCWSPEED#$$#WCWSPEED#=0mph && #WCWDIR#=0?Calm$

This hasn't already been done, has it? ;) It will display the wind direction, then the speed, or just Calm, e.g.:

NNW 20mph

SE 5mph

Calm

I had to make a correction to it just today, but I think that should be the last one. If you use it and find a mistake let me know!

$#BSTATN#=3?[c]00000000[/c]$

then what ever text you have will appear when the charger is connected.

That only changes icon to transparent when not charging. Mine switches it to a static battery icon when not charging and charging icon when it is.
