[MENTION=5583909]Idealith[/MENTION] simlock has nothing to do with the firmware.

You need now any root kernel for that firmware, it has to be compatible with the intiframs of your 2.x version and it will give you a custom recovery.

There you can flash first CM10.2 to get the modified partition sizes and KK ready recovery and after that you can flash CM11

IMHO, the new Mackay ICS 2014 rom based on CM9 is a lot faster than any KitKat and works better on the i9000

I am currently in France

last news : been able to reboot into CWM, I selected the mackay cm 9 based rom, it rebooted halfway thrugh only to reboot in TWRP (idk how, are both installed or is twrp in the rom too ???)

so i tried from twrp wiping everything before and it wen through, then on bot it told me it needed to factory reset, it never worker though

so now i can boot into CWM but can't access my sd card ...

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
It was perfectly normal behavior, as after flashing the zip from CM, it will in firat step upgrade your recovery to TWRP 2.2.2.0

As you have wiped already before, it would be perfectly fine to just flash the rom.zip in the new TWRP recovery, and your gapps right afterwards. The recovery upgrade is totally common on the i9000 as first step.

The i9000 can easily be unbricked by flashing a stock image with Odin.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idealith:
I suppose my phone has been unbricked I made a 2.3 stock rom work

What i do now :

I flash the stock rom, go back to DL mode, flash the recovery, take the battery off, boot back in recovery, wipe everything ( do I really have to wipe system and all ?), select the ROM, nd once I'm in TWRP i reselect than same ROM

for the cm9 based mackay one it keep rebooting over and over again

for CM 10.2 it says the encryption failed and I need to factory reset, then nothing works
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Yes, that would be correct procedure. To install CM9 you will have to format data, cache and dalvik cache.

If you have never had a JVU or JVZ firmware installed, it is likely that you still have a Froyo bootloader which could be reason of the problems with Android 4.xx

tetakpatalked from N7100
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idealith:
and how do i get that bootloader set up ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Either by flashing a whole JVU or JVZ stock firmware, or by flashing a bootloader only.

Check my sticky thread here under the same section (help & troubleshooting), I have described whole the procedure in the OP. I have even attached the files and also video is there: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2444308

Right point would be to do it first.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idealith:
thanks you so much i have now CM 10.2 running

would you know by any chance how to un simlock it ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Ask your carrier, I assume the phone contract isn't new anymore (or expired) so you'll get unlock code for free. Here in Europe one can obtain the unlock code after 2 years for free.

Otherwise you can ask one of the online unlock services, it costs usually around 15-20$ to get the code

yeah that worked like a charm

it was a good idea to buy it, i would have use the resistors so much

is there a more xda way to unlock it ? my carrier wants me to send the phone and have it unlock, they won't just provide the code :/
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f1ux:
I have my z1 setup in my car to play music via bluetooth into the car stereo.

With the sony walkman app, the stereo correctly shows the artist/song information and sounds pretty good.

However, if i use power player, the bluetooth sound quality seems noticeably worse and the stereo doesn't show the song information.

Has anyone else noticed this?

The reason i want to use powerplayer is because the walkman app, annoyingly doesn't' read the 'album artist' tags in songs, so it catalogues the music in a bizarre way if it is all correctly tagged.

Power player reads it properly and sorts via album artist.

I have all EQ + sounds effects turned off in both players and phone menu.

[General Questions and Answers] nexusman9:
On my verizon G.Nexus I recently flashed GAPPS (GOOGLE STOCK PACKAGE) dev-host link.

In the beginning everything ran well, but lately i am unable to access mobile network(access to internet connection) but works fine when connected to wifi. and if it is set to 3G.

said that, since i have flashed stock package my message is replaced by hangout. which i don't like.

so just for that reason alone i want to flash something conservative.

my question is how do i replace the existing GAPPS, do i need to clean flash with ROM over again?

which is the correct link android-file host or dev-host? what is the difference?

and if i chose to flash mini modular will i be able to get the other Google apps from play?

Appreciate all you guys.. This forum has helped me learn a lot about my phone.

I am on stock ICS 4.04.

I do not want to root the phone (for work related security reason)

I used to be on a rooted phone with KitKat but had to revert back to unrooted

On Kit Kat (and at one time on rooted ICS) I used SMS app (AOSP) which allowed the notification tone to be set to system notification tone.

The default ICS sms app allows me to chose a tone OR use default ringtone (NOT default notification tone)

Does anyone know of an app that uses default notification tone

Its important that I am able to use default notification tone because during night my default tone is set to silent which means I don't need to be woken up during the night if I receive a message. I do NOT want to set ringtone to silent as I still want to be able to take calls.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhishek 9650:
yes there's a method but you should have adb installed.

open Command Prompt on your PC and

enter the following commands. Make sure that

you press the Enter key after entering each

command line.

cd

cd android-sdkplatform-tools

adb devices

After typing the last command, you should get

some random numbers and alphabets. This means

that your device is successfully connected. Next,

enter the follow commands:

adb shell

cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/

databases

sqlite3 settings.db

update system set value=0 where

name=’lock_pattern_autolock’;

update secure set value=0 where

name=’lock_pattern_autolock’;

update system set value=0 where

all done remove the usb

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Skrumpy:
Hey guys,

Quite awhile ago I rooted my phone and installed a custom ROM. Unfortunately, I'm a bit sketchy on the details as it was awhile ago and I don't really remember what I did. Since that time it has undergone a Samsung update and I fear that it is no longer rooted. I am wondering how I should proceed as my firmware doesn't match the compatible firmware options listed under the rooting options and I don't want to just start doing things without being sure I won't brick my phone.

Pertinent details

:

Model: SAMSUNG-SGH-I337

Android Version: 4.4.2

Baseband Version: I337UCUFNC1

Build Number: KOT49H.I337UCUFNC1

SuperUser was installed and running, but when I went to update it via F-Droid I had to uninstall and the new version of SU fails to update the SU binary on "recovery install."

Basically all I want is to enable tethering (I have AT&T unlimited).

Anyone have any clue what I'm talking about and able to help??

Thanks in advance!

It's how I rooted mine, and how I continue to do it if I completely screw up and have to go back to complete stock. It is a bit more involved than the towelroot method, but if you follow directions completely it will work.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saenchai:
Hello togehter,

i have a real problem with my Nexus 5 (not rooted, 4.4.4) now.... appeard suddenly and i dont find a way to fix.

The problem is that from one day to the other the Google+ App uses big amounts of battery (up to 50% per load and sends massive amounts of data in background. I talk about up to 3 GB in 2 days (!). No i didnt made pictures that upload now and sync. I dont even use Google+ really, all i do is brwose the last 3 news once per day. Also this happens ONLY in background, when the mobile is in standby. As soon as i turn on the screen i can feel the battery is getting colder by alot (should be opposide...). Also it only shows me like 40 MB of foreground data the last days, so all ok when mobile on lol. It seems to start when going in standby...

What can it be? What i did:

1. Deleted cache of Google+ App

2. Restartet phone many times already

3. uninstalled updates of Google+ App (problem immediadetly disappeared, with this status Google+ didnt even show up in the battery list)

4. deleted data of Google+ Apps

5. put off photo-sync completley

Now all was fine, phone got cold again and data usage back to normal (i let it whole night). Then i installed the update again and problem suddenly start again, in the same second. Only in the last 20 minutes it uploaded 300 MB of data since i did the update.

When i dont do the update, there are errors using the app, so i would like to have the latest google+if possible.

I also have many other Devices like Nexus 7, Huawei P6 (4.4.2) and this is not happening with Google+ there, only n this Nexus 5. Even heere are only half of the apps installed as on the other devices.

Edit:

It gets even more funny... I turned of Wifi and witched to mobile data. Same moment it stopped to send data, even theres no restriction to do so. Like mentioned, Photo sync is off, not set to wifi only.

When switching back to wifi, the data sending starts again lol... What the hell?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saenchai:
OK I really something is very wrong with my device.... Look at following pics, WiFi is turned off the whole 4 hours, still it shows up with so many %, that cannot be normal...and it also shows up as activated all the time, even its not.

Then I really wonder how the battery holds so well in mobile network, I mean 1% battery drain per hour with everything activated is not really bad, isn't it? But then you see next PIC...the phone never sleeps lol. Never saw this many wakeloks without it affecting battery.

I think I have to make a reset...

I agree my original post is long:) but in point 5 I said I put off that sync completely. Autobackup=off. So I guess this option has no effect anymore, shouldn't it?

Turn off constant WiFi scanning in advanced option in WiFi menu. As default it is enabled(!).

This option allows Google services constant scanning, even when you turn off WiFi switch.

When you disable that option battery should stay alive longer.

And for Google+ issue - I had similar problem. Turn off 'background data' option for Google+ - it helps.

Google+ buffers your pictures from backup (like a cache). By turning off background data - it shouldn't take place when app is closed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saenchai:
Well, this is looked into by a Google support guy now. Sadly all that doesn't help. Also hardresets won't. Nothing did. They get into error reports and all that now but probably change my phone, according to him.

This is the link to the Google+ Post

https://plus.google.com/+AlexWBKK/posts/ECKG3EeHVZd

This was another advice that didnt help:

- go to your device settings

- go to Applications

- Find the Google+ App

- uninstall all updates for the google+ app

- clear app data

- Go to the play store

- go to my apps

- update your apps from the play store

- go to your device settings

- scroll to account

- tap into google

- tap into your email address

- ensure all boxes are checked.

- especially the google+ photos and Autobackup

- ensure sync is on

it should work as per normal now.

- go to google+ app

- log into app

- ensure settings are to your requirements

- go to the Photos app

- go to the left side menu

- go to On Device

- if the Autobackup Cloud icon is highlighted blue tap it to switch it off for a particular folder that you don't want to be backed up.

This is optional

- go back to the Google+ app

- From the settings go to the autobackup settings

- select the option to backup all photos now do not dismiss the notification for it.

Do all the steps described you don't have to do the optional one, but please ensure that you do the steps in that order. ﻿

10 hours after doing this it happened again and in one hour 1 GB of data was recieved, battery down 20% more and phone hot. In Standby mode...

Support has all the bug reports i made, seems either they dont find something or i dunno, at least i didnt hear from them since days now....

Maybe someone of you can see something? This bug report is of a time after the suggested advice from the google support. It was ok many hours, then i charged the phone to 100%, went to bed and 4 hours later when i woke up i saw that mobile again is hot, google at top positions and 2 GB data gone.

So what in all names is left for me? I have a hard time explaining Amazon that i really have a problem..

And i know there is something wrong because NONE of my other devices with the exactly same settings on the exactly same account this happens. On some like my Nexus 7 i have 2 more google+ accounts added to the one i use on the problem Nexus 5 and absolutley no drain here..

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saenchai:
Just to let others know if they read this and have the same by any chance.

The problem was not related to any setting that was wrong or anything like that. It seems the updates (from 4.3 to 4.4.3 to 4.4.4) caused some errors when i installed them in fast order. Google Support read my logs and it seems there were many errors overall that doesnt really make sense.

So after even all the hardresets, google-tips and cache wipes didnt bring any outcome i tried to flash a factory image instead of only a hardreset, this time directly 4.4.4 and now after one week i think i can say the error is gone. I neither had any Drain from Google+ nor my Telephone service acted up. I charged 3 times now the last week and also after charging (where the error appeared before) nothing is out of order.

Hello XDA Members

I'm fairly new to ROM's and all that.

I'm having major issues with my Xperia Z. I have tried installing so many Roms and spent the last 4 days trying to either find a ROM that is stable and will not crash or find out how to stop the crashing. I really need help!

I've installed:

PACMAN ROM [once]

CM 10.2.1 (stable) [about 3 times]

Cm11 [about twice]

Used Emma (Sony's flash tool) [10+ times]

Each one of those has crashed when either launching an app or doing anything even the so called stable ROM.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Or you can recommend me a ROM?
