[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Thaenor:
Thank you - SOLVED

Pardon my language, but there is no easy way to say this.

I almost shat my pants as I saw the boot animation followed by the samsung logo. I was convinced I had gotten a boot loop again and was already thinking about an alternative to do this.

That's when the son of a gun shows me the android starting screen.

It's working like it just came out of the shop! It's even got all the bloatware... which is strangely satisfying.

I'm giving the phone, so I wanted to make sure of two things. Firstly that it would be bug free and second that if anything would happen there would be no trouble in taking it to the store for repairs. I think nothing would solve it better than having the stock rom installed.

And... ... it would be with a heartwarming thank you that I bid you goodbye my friends. I won't trouble you anymore with W's issues. From now on I'll be over the Sony S tablet section of the forum trying to muster up some courage to root it and find out if they already found a way to install custom roms in it. :laugh::p:laugh:

EDIT: A TL;DR version of this thread. If you flashed a ROM with Odin and something wrong and now you can't access the recovery mode. The solution is to flash a Clockwork mod recovery and use it to wipe the phone before attempting to flash it again.

But the sound advice would be Always factory reset and wipe the data in your phone before flashing a new ROM!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dec0der:
:) yaw. good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
You don't need to do anything else other than what i already said. When you select "wipe data/ factory reset" you clear data, of course, but you also clear cache, dalvik-cache and ./android_secure. So no need to do it separately.

About Odin and your issues, of course it won't boot when it says "wait to boot up" cause at that point you've got no (good) ROM to boot from. So you need to just follow those steps mentioned above (after reflashing CWM, of course) and then flash the stock ROM via Odin, if that's what you wish for.

Glad we could help and it was nice having you among us. :) Have fun with your new device.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Thaenor:
Fun fact, I had the Sony S before I got the Galaxy W. :p

I also noticed that factory wipe/reset wiped everything, I just formated the /system and all the rest for redundacy's sake XD

Once again, thank you very much everyone for your help. I'll be around every now and then to say hi or to help those who forget to wipe their device before flashing a new rom XD

Having problems transferring files from my PC with bluetooth. It worked once then that's it. Windows 7 is also not finding drivers which may be pert of the problem.

Help?
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Bluetooth is pretty rubbish for file transfers. Use WiFi it's much faster and has better range. Bluetooth is dodgy on the transformer series when WiFi is on as well.

Try air droid, es file explorer or WiFi file explorer, all do WiFi transfers.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TedBronson:
I followed the guide for installing TWRP on my KFHD7 to the letter, but now every time my Kindle reboots, it goes into recovery mode.

I've tried using idme to change the bootmode, but under TWRP I get idme:command not found.

I can boot to fastboot using my cable, and I can restore everything to stock and it works fine, but if I install TWRP it keeps booting into recovery mode.

Also, I have a problem where the volume on my kindle starts going up on its own, and the volume slider stays on the screen until I manually turn it back down. The button doesn't appear to be stuck, what else could it be?

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TedBronson:
I tried that, still no luck, it keeps booting in TWRP.

I am able to return it to stock by using SR Tool and everything appears to be right, but I have tried installing both CM11 and Pac-Man, both end up rebooting in TWRP over and over.

The steps I did:

1) Root device using Bin4ry's Root_With_Restore, option 1

2) Backup bootloader, system, and recovery roms

3) use fastboot to flash boot, bootloader, and TWRP

4) reboot into TWRP

5) Go to wipe -> Advanced -> Check system, cache, dalvik cache, and swipe to wipe.

6) Once it's finished, hit back and do a factory wipe.

7) click install and install rom and gapps

8) reboot system

it just keeps rebooting in TWRP.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bruceo:
I have my GG setup and running nicely. I want to move to another Galaxy gear. What is the best way to transfer the exact setup without issue? Do a nandroid of my current setup and then restore the nandroid from TWRP on the new GG watch?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] roswell782:
That's a very good question and I hope someone can respond.

I have 2 Gears on Null _ rom and every time I switch, i have to install my apps again and again, even if I select restore option in GM.

Strangely, it's not a total wipe because my Nova settings remains.

I hadn't think about the TWRP back up/restore option...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fbueller:
Backup in TWRP, copy to desktop, install TWRP on new watch, copy TWRP backup to the new watch, restore backup. It'll be like you never left.

And instead of Titanium or reinstalling after a Gear Manager upgrade (or whatever), just do a backup of /data and then restore /data after the upgrade. Takes 15 seconds and you're back where you started exactly, no hassle.

Re: reply

You've been trying to sell this for the last for months it seems - stick it in the m.e.n or the loot! Or stick it on ebay - asking the same things in different threads won't necessarily get you different answers....perhaps if you posted a price that you wanted rather than asking for offers. As I guide I sold a mint one on ebay last week for £300. The sooner you sell it, the more it'll sell for - the price of new technology goes down, not up, with age.

I agree , E-bay is crap ! I have just tried to sell my Exec and ended up in a tricky situation with a buyer with no feedback trying to get me to send to and unverified address - Paypal state that I'll only be covered by the seller protection policy if I send to a verified address , But I mailed e-bay about the matter and they suggested I go ahead and sell to the guy anyway ! talk about contradiction !

This is the third succesive time I have tried to sell an item on ebay and had the auction end with some idiot trying to rip me off

E-bay only seem to be interested in collecting their fee :(

Fortunately , I found a buyer oustside of ebay , and should I be looking to sell anything in the future , I'll be doing the same

Ebay just seems to be a big headache where higher value items are concerned these days :?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fluffcat1:
Hp's have *warranty* as well, and the 'refurb' classification is a generalisation, I have it on good authority the ebay items are brand new end of line with a full 2 yr warranty. They're even selling them from hp's www.ipaqchoice.co.uk site for £250! All the accesories are cheap too....

Richard
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Noony:
I can't help myself...

Ipaq choice are not cheap for accessories. If you purchase the accessories from Ipaq Choice you would pay £519.48 The following prices are cut and paste directly from the Ipaq Choice website

(they exclude VAT),

Screen Protectors Covertec £9.36

Battery 1,800 mAh (hx4700 series) HP £48.51

Extended Battery 3,600mAh (hx4700) HP £82.55

iPAQ 9-Volt Emergency Power Adapter HP-Belkin £8.51

USB Power Sync Travel Kit Belkin £29.78

Stylus 3-Pack Replacement Kit HP £11.91

Thumb Keyboard HP £27.23

SD Card (512MB) HP £62.12

GPS Receiver G-Space £110.63

HP iPAQ hx4700 Pocket PC HP £295.74

You are welcome to think that the HX4700 is nowhere near as good as a HTC Universal, however I personally think both PDAs have pros and cons. The biggest con for the HX4700 is the lack of built in phone and 3G (although it wasn't orginally purchased as that type of device). While the HTC Universal is relatively big and heavy, and as good as the screen is, it's still not as good or big as the HX4700. Not everyone wants their phone built in to a PDA.

I've made a choice that I need my phone built into my PDA, and I need 3G speed so I have a HTC Universal, however it took me many months to finally accept that I could not keep using 2 PDAs. I've lived with both devices for a long time and it's not as clear cut as "the HX4700 is nowhere near as good as a universal".
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fluffcat1:
If we're going brand new, full price, then a Universal / jasjar is £644.95 :shock:

http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=119353

I didn't say the accesories were cheap from ipaqchoice, I said ipaqchoice sell the refurb units, and that the accesories were cheap - the batteries are on ebay.

I've still got them both, and I've also run the wm2005 update for the hx4700 ( did you? It's only just out - the official version I mean :wink: )

and do not rate it in comparison for the Universal. There is a lag opening menus despite the fast processor, and the display on the ipaq doesn't compare with my toshiba e800 or the jasjar in VGA.

Richard
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Noony:
I obvioulsy misunderstood about your mention of cheap accessories :wink:

There are some good registry tweaks for getting the HX4700 running smoothly, they are different to the HTC Universal ones. In my opinion I got the HX4700 running faster. I use a USA ROM and yes I've only had it installed for 3 weeks but that was long enough to get to know the performance.

My wife has my old Toshiba e800 and again in my opinion the screen is not as good as the iPaq. I'm sorry if you don't like me having a different opinion to you.

I have already said how good I think the HTC Universal is - I already own one!

I respect your opinions and I also like other PDA's!

Be happy :D

Also I will like to theme anything on systemui dark BG to lighter grey as well as for sample all the pop ups and power options pop up.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caesarAnto:
hi all,

I've just purchased an LG g2, everything is fine but upon reading the warranty conditions I've found out that the (European, in this case) warranty is considered void if the serial number becomes illegible or damaged. The thing is that the serial number on the rear of the phone seems already quite damageable, half of the sticker is already gone (imei and serial number are still perfectly legible though). Am I missing something here? I don't think the SN on the box would suffice in case I needed to avail myself of the warranty, is that right? sorry but it's my first device so maybe I'm making a blunder here

thank you
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vPro97:
I am worried about the very same thing. Mine also started to scrape off :( I know somebody on here who simply peeled it off and saved it in the box. I don't know.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caesarAnto:
wouldn't the removal of the sticker be considered an alteration? I was considering sticking a piece of invisible wrap on it but it all really seems absurd to me

I guess that removing it and sending it along with the phone would be ok after all?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vPro97:
Yes, I thought the very same thing, hence the 'I don't know' in my previous post. I think that's the best idea. I was kinda surprised to see it already started fading despite the fact that I have a case on the phone. Funny thing is, according to Danish law it is prohibited to put on a sticker/anything that is warranty related, that can't last the entire warranty period without fading with normal usage.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caesarAnto:
on some other threads I'm reading of people with other devices peeling it off right away and keeping it in the box; it's got to have its importance since without it I suppose it would be impossible to prove it's the legit phone you're sending (I don't think there's a SN inside the phone too), the question is whether keeping it in the box or on the phone is the same thing, hope there's someone here who knows for sure

I've been trying to get the screen mirroring function to work.

The phone detects the TV, and the TV says the phone is connected - but then the phone says something to the effect of 'starting screen mirroring' - it comes up with text that seems to indicate that the pairing has initialized, and a split second later you see a message saying screen sharing has ended on both the TV and the phone.

It does not actually display the screen for even a second before disconnecting.

Any ideas?

I'm on stock 4.2.2 at the moment.

Trying to pair with a Samsung F6800 Smart TV. (TV firmware is completely up to date).

Its not the locked boot loader... I am running the 6806 and mirroring with my Samsung F8000 TV. I can mirror my phones different screens with not issues. However if I try and play a movie from Play movies, it is very choppy dropping frames. My understanding this has to do with the Bluetooth or something dropping out but not sure.

Otherwise I can mirror with no issues using stock Sony ROM on Android 4.3.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hassanmahmood:
What firmware are you running? And could you explain how you got the two connected?

I think your issue with streaming might have to do with your router - I am able to stream movies fine - but have essentially the opposite issue whereby I can't seem to get the mirroring to work.

I'd really appreciate some insight.

Samsung Miracast devices (such as TV's and adapters) sadly only work with Samsung phones.

You should try to get a generic Miracast adapter. PTV3000 works with the Sony ZU for me.
