[General Questions and Answers] dimsar2013:
You can't know what is happening to every developer. They might have permanently left the project or even left XDA. For example, even being a great developer, whitexp left XDA more than a year ago.

ROMS like Cyanogen, Slim never stop being developed. That's because they have thousands of followers.
[General Questions and Answers] lasic.2000:
Yes, i know that, but what I mean is, they just go away without any sign, one day they're online, the next they're gone. That's pretty "scary". But anyway, we can do nothing about it...

Phone specs first :)

Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100

Rooted

CWM

Hardcore speedmod

android 4.1.2 jb

PC is windows 8

I remember i had turned the usb debugging on in dev options

so last night i tried to install cyanogenmod on my device with the cyanogenmod installer for PC and Android.

I was having a bit of usb problems with noticing that my pc did detect the phone, but i couldn't see the phone in

"my computer" file. I thought it would soon fix by itself(i dont know why) and also noticing that detecting device in cm installer

took a lot of time. So when it finally detected the phone it started installing the CM. Although after coming to the

"installing operating system" point, it stopped and said "we couldn't talk to your phone" and having this blue CM guy standing in the screen

of my phone. I tried again several times with rebooting my pc and phone. To the phone appeared again this blue cm figure just standing there.

When i would go and try again on pc it said the "we couldn't talk to your phone" text again. So i gave up with the installer and thought that would be better to flash that CM with Odin. At this point i couldn't access my phone(except for download mode and recovery) of course because it had screwed up the system. I tried to search internet for some usb problem fixes and there were some solutions on changing something in your

device settings and dev options, i cant go there, so for now thats not an option. I started following a tutorial in youtube on how to install cm with odin and root your device. My first question here is that should i install everything and start from scratch (Gapps,CM and kernel) or just the CM ROM? And the problem here is that when i started following the tutorial and came up to the part of having to move the Rom,kernel and gapps to the phone's sd card, i realised that wouldn't work because i cant see the phone on my pc, for now that's the problem number 1. My pc says "unknown device" ( i think thats what it means, see im translating) when i try to plug my phone in. Got any solution for this so we could move on to step 2?

And btw this is in a bit of a hurry, as i really have to get this phone working today.I need it! :crying:

And yeah i did read the other threads about PC not recognizing the phone but those solutions there require the phone to be turned on and changing something there. So basically my phone is bricked and cant connect to pc with usb, i have tried another pc too with 2 usb cables but the phone wont show up under "my computer"
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Get stock firmware from Samfirmware, try & flash with Odin. Problems with flash ? Find Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General; try as much of the stuff in that thread as you need to in order to get a successful flash of stock firmware & a clean slate (I.E a working phone, getting the phone back to this state should be your only thought at this point), then you can try reflashing a custom rom/whatever from there if you want to.

If you do have problems with the stock flash, make sure you actually do everything in the thread, or your phone will stay busted. These things are fixed with perseverance & doing everything possible, there is no easy fix.

Also, please don't post about the same issue twice, there was no need for you to make this thread & post to the other thread as well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsFreezy:
So just flashing the stock rom? Does the firmware need to be specifically from that region you live in?

Got the Odin detecting my phone now so that's one step further. Huge thanks for helping me! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzriHafiz:
Yes, for me. I never tried to flash stock rom using other country. So, I don't know what will happen if I do so. Maybe you will get some problems with calls, messages, etc..?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsFreezy:
So now i have tried to flash 3 different ROM's and everytime i get stuck for a while in the SetupConnection step and after about 2 minutes it just says all threads completed succeed 0/1 failed and cant open the serial (COM) port. I am on download mode on the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Then you need to go back to Hopper's thread and try everything suggested in the thread, including multiple PC's if necessary.

I did say your phone will stay busted in my PP if you didn't do everything in that thread as many times as you need to (looks like the prophecy is being fulfilled). There is nothing else that isn't in that thread that can be suggested in these situations, that thread is the Bible.

Only you can fix your phone in this situation, we can't do it for you. I've given you the tools to get it done, it's up to you whether you do & how long your phone stays in its current state.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsFreezy:
Huuuge thanks to you !

I already said this, but thank you for helping, i got it working! I flashed in a cwm kernel and stock rom.You really dont know how

grateful i am! It was kinda stupid to go and try install cyanogenmod without backing up, but that's not going to happen in the future.

Also i think i needed this to happen, i mean it still was a very good lesson to understand the basics of odin flashing and kernels,roms and rooting.

I really thought for a while that i had lost my phone. Hopper8's thread really helped!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Good man. And yes, you're right, having this sort of thing happen early on can be a really good learning experience & give you the knowledge/confidence to recover from just about anything (had a not dissimilar experience to yourself about a week after I got my S2 2+ yrs ago, I learned a helluva a lot in the two days my phone was borked) that happens in future.

Don't forget to thank Hopper's OP in his thread if you haven't already.

My gf bought a moto g and it's working good in general, but weirdly, it has some problems charging off some usb ports or other chargers. I have a generic charger for my htc one for example, which the moto g won't charge off of. I also have a generic USB cable form which I can charge my HTC one or my mom's samsung s2, but with the moto g, something odd happens - it starts charging for a few seconds but then stops charging, just enough time to show the "phone connected as media storage" notification. I tried one time turning the media storage mode off to see if that might be the problem, and it seemed to work, but after a while we saw it stopped charging. The battery also dropped like 40% during the night and that amazing battery should not even drop like 5%, but that seems to be just battery statistics being corrupted or something, not a real problem probably need to let them reset.

Anyone here had a similar experience? Any fixes?

Hi,

I need help because after 20 hours of trying i gave up.

I've tried like 8 guides of how to update the rom and it always failed.

I tried 10+ rom versions and put them on sd card and it fails with "status 7" or just "aborted" with no reason.

i'm using cwm 6.0.3.0, and when i try to update it using odin it also fail.

also when i try to load the original stock rom for my country it fails with no reason just "aborted".

I also tried fastboot in download mode but it wont recognize my device even with correct drivers.

now the worst problem is that when i restore it to the previews backup it works but the device is unusable, stuck after one minute.

I'm really frustrated and i hop to get some help here.

Got stuck trying to update to kitkat (me too)

Dear Experts,

I believe my case is very similar to that starting this thread so I thought I'd just continue (hopefully not violating rules).

My Android was ICS stock version and my wish was to upgrade to KitKat.

(I did not make any backup.)

I followed these steps:

I rooted my system and installed PhilZ Touch 3 CWM Base version 6.0.2.7.

Then I proceeded to the upgrade following this guide:

"Update Galaxy Note N7000 to Android 4.4.2 KitKat Lightning ROM"

[sorry, am not allowed yet to insert ext links]

Step 10 resulted for me in:

Installing update...

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

E:Error in /sdcard/N7000-STABLEv1.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted

I retried step 10 using SlimKat - N7000 but with the same (Status 7) result.

This CWM seems ready further actions although it keeps looping even upon switch-offs (needed to remove battery to switch off effectively).

I hope all details have been given.

Please do advise me about further steps.

Thank you,

R.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nic2215:
Simple download the latest philz touch, flash it with recovery reboot your recovery and flash the rom u desired. Your recovery is outdated hence status seven error
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphele:
Thank you Nic2215 and hello every helping soul!

I downloaded the latest file, MD5 checked OK.

Was not sure to be able to boot into recovery but kept the three buttons pressed while inserting the battery (current way to switch on) but I believe I succeeded in that.

Later I just chose boot into ecovery from within CWM menu.

Anyway it's been no success for me:

E:Error in /sdcard/philz_touch_6.25.0-n7000.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted

BTW I noticed one detail - in the About section of CWM it reads among other lines:

Build version: 3.99 - i9100

I am quite sure I'd followed all rooting steps correctly:

You must have CWM 6.0.<b>4.4</b> or higher, which is fully SELinux compatible for KitKat.<br />

Just flash Raw kernel r4, reboot in recovery (of raw kernel ) and then do your flash and wipes.<br />

You can't simply install a newer recovery on our device, as kernel and recovery are bound together, but ...THIS IS BASIC KNOWLEDGE FOR OUR DEVICE!!! <br />

I appreciate your help.

Following your advice I found this resource:

-> [KERNEL][AOSP][10 Dec.] Raw Kernel r5 -- simple&fast kernel -- some KitKat love

but I can see:

Download :

r5 for KK4.4 (announce)

r4 for JB4.3 (announce)

Just would like to make sure that r4 - not r5 - fits my needs towards KitKat.

Suppose r4, then please assure me that my plan is correct:

1. Download raw_kernel_r4_j43.zip

2. On N7000 VolUp+Home+Pwr -> Install Zip -> Choose zip from sdcard -> raw_kernel_r4_j43.zip

3. Advanced -> Reboot Recovery

4. -> Install Zip -> Choose zip from sdcard -> N7000-STABLEv1.zip (Lightning Rom Android 4.4.2 ROM )

Please excuse my basic questions - I just realize I may not allow myself further mistakes. Certainly did not mean to offend or irritate anybody here.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
I remember on the Samsung GS2, it took a while before they figured out all the aosp quirks, so you may have to wait a while until it gets refined for the GS4.

Aosp has not kept up with the pace of these new roms /operating systems latley, that's mainly because of the competition in the smartphone industry now a days.

[G2 General] CZroe:
A coworker brought me his G2 that I have taken apart to fix many times before because it was having problems charging and turning on (black screen; rhythmic buzz from the vibration motor). I worked around that to get it booted temporarily but then the SIM connection seemed to suddenly fail. I replaced the motherboard entirely because some charge/power issues persisted and everything works perfectly EXCEPT that the replacement also doesn't see the SIM. Both are running stock LG Verizon Lollipop (assumed installed by OTA). No one was playing around with alternate ROMs or anything. None of the fixes in this thread help. The SIM slot is on the board so I hesitate to assume that the charge, mic, headphone flex PCB has something to do with it, but it is the only major common component (even replaced the screen again along with the battery, speaker, etc while leaving out useless components). Any suggestions?

Long version:

After a previous screen replacement it would only buzz when attempting to turn on or buzz repeatedly when attempting to charge until I loosened the black screw near the battery connector. I definitely narrowed it down to that particular screw, though I still couldn't say why (the previous tech who replaced the screen may have shorted the battery terminal near there). When he brought it back to me it was doing the same thing again even with the screw completely removed. Within minutes I had it booting just by poking around. Not sure what I did but I had to take it apart and poke around again to get it to come on after making the mistake of turning it off (went right back to buzzing). I'm pretty sure that the SIM card worked because he received a couple text messages when I first got it turned on (phone hadn't been booted in a day). After getting it to turn on I had to leave it on while reassembling, so I put the SIM tray back in when I was done. The owner was watching and asked why the status bar showed an "X" on the signal strength, so I told him that it was because you had to reboot after reinserting a SIM on most Android devices (as opposed to dual-SIM and iPhone devices). Though I couldn't turn off without causing the power problem, I could safely restart. Unfortunately, restarting only gave me the "Insert SIM" message at boot and nothing I could do would get it to see the inserted SIM. I tried many SIM cards but none worked. I replaced the motherboard expecting it to be a solution to both problems but only the power problems went away. The SIM card issue remained even though the SIM slot is built into the part I replaced and the part I purchased is supposed to be guaranteed, tested, clean IMEI, etc. I'm at a loss. I've taken out every unrelated component and replaced the screen again and replaced the battery so about the only thing that is common is the flex PCB with the mic, headphone jack, display connectors, etc running through it. Not sure how that could be a factor, but I'm replacing it too. In the mean time, does anyone have any suggestions for what could be wrong?
[G2 General] CZroe:
Update: A new mic/USB/headphone flex PCB fixed it. I'm not sure how that can cause the SIM card to not be detected, but I conclusively tested and that was definitely the problematic component: No SIM card detected on either motherboard with the old flex PCB, SIM card detected fine on both motherboards with the replacement flex PCB.
