[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jutei:
Hi, I tried this and got to the factory reset window. It started to do reset, but pretty soon it booted and went back to bootloop. So this didn't help. I'll try those ADB drivers today.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jutei:
Hi, tried adb drivers, but no luck. My laptop still doesn't recognize my phone. USB gives power, but beside that windows doesn't seems to notice that my device is plugged. Is there anything else I could try?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfletch86:
so you didnt make a backup before flashing? what recovery did you flash? i bricked my phone with rom manager before and will never use it again but i had a backup and was still able to get it to eventually boot into twrp to restore.

---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 AM ----------

also if you never turned on usb debugging i dont think you can get a computer to see it unless its fully booted.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jutei:
Yeah, I was stupid enough not to backup. The recovery was the stock one. Is that where I went wrong? Should I've had custom recovery installed?

I turned usb-debugging was on before phone got bricked. I think the phone should be found somehow on computer. For example this fix (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48765620#post48765620) needs Linux to recognize the phone, but I can't even do that. I guess the problem here is that my phone won't enter the download mode. I'm going to try with couple of different computers when I get back home from my holidays.

I also found another fix to try. I have to drain the battery and after a little re-charge I should be able to enter the download mode. I'm trying this next.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfletch86:
yes thats where you made your mistake. that also makes me think download mode wont work period, but im not positive. im surprised rom manager even tried to flash anything without a recovery. thats why i dont use apps like that anymore because you wouldnt of been able to **** it up that bad on your own. so you said you tried the key combo to take you to the factory restore? if you didnt flash a recovery then i would think you could get that to work. did you look into lg's flash tool? maybe that will somehow read it. i remember seeing a post in the general forum about a way to take the phone apart and short the chip out but ive never had to actually read it so i couldnt tell you whats all involved. sorry bout your phone.

i forgot to read your link, just now did, why do you say you cant do that?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvineDNO:
Well, I just got myself in the same boat.

The phone will show the LG Logo then the security error and shut down. When plugged in with a USB to the PC it will just reboot.

Nothing is showing in Device Manager either. I done the same in the stock recovery and I tried to Side load CM12 it failed and straight into this loop.

I got nothing now. I just done see how shorting circuits will fix the issue when it's just software. Absolute nightmare as the 12 months warranty has gone.

I tried to do a hard reset and I get the android man saying its working then it shuts down and starts the error again. I'm unable to get in the Download Mode either and I'm stuck :(

I don't know what to do now. The flash and Support tool will not recognize the phone.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jutei:
jfletch86, I tried LG Flash Tool, but the problem is that it just says no devices found. Same problem with fix I linked, I can't do anything to my phone if my laptop doesn't find it. I'm beginnig to loose hope :(
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jutei:
Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that you are in the same boat. Symptoms are the same. It seems that we have bricked our phones pretty badly. Hopefully someone comes up with fix that works. Problem is that anyone wise enough to fix this isn't stupid enough to end up this stage.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvineDNO:
I'm hoping the same too. I just don't know why it wont allow me to do anything.

I have a nexus 4 and I've never had a problem.

I am getting nothing when plugged into my PC and its like the phone is turning on and off in the boot loop and the lg symbol.

I get the hard reset menu but the computer still doesn't recognise.

I just feel sick at the moment !!

[General Questions and Answers] auburn2eugene:
I have a Alcatel One Touch Pop 7 tablet from T-Mobile. There is someone on a YouTube video who has the same tablet, but has bricked it installing a custom ROM. He is begging me to make a backup of my "system" folder to send to him.

My question is, is that safe to do? I'm a complete noob when it comes to rooted devices, so I don't know if there is anyway that could be damaging to me, or if I would be doing someone a solid and helping them bring their tablet back to life.

Please, can someone advise me if this is OK or not (me making a backup of my system folder and sending it to him?)

[General Questions and Answers] auburn2eugene:
This isn't about me making a backup for me. I am trying to help someone who bricked their tablet, as said in my first post. I backed up the folder he asked me to back up. Then I uploaded it to my Google drive and sent him the link. He got my upload, and messaged me back saying the folder did not include the boot.img file. So, with Root Explorer, I searched my tablet for the boot.img file. Root Explorer didn't find the file he was missing. I am asking if anyone knows where I should look?

[About XDA developers] sanal:
Hi all,

I am new to this forum and happy to be part of it. I am facing one problem. Hope you all can take a look at this.

I have an EAP-SIM application which needs to be ported to Windows CE Pocket PC 2003. It will probably run on HP iPAQ. I need to get the IMSI of the SIM card and run the GSM (A3/A5/A8) algorithms through my application.

After a lot of research, i found it might be possible through AT commands and with the help of RIL(Radio Interface Layer). I tried some samples, but is not working properly. I saw some AT commands in this link

http://ftp.rz.tu-bs.de/pub/mirror/ccc_Chaos_Computer_Club/ftp.ccc.de/gsm/gsm_log_commented

Next I tried this with RIL.

I need to know how i can get IMSI and send some PDU to the SIM card to run the algorithm. Is it possible ? through RIL ? AT command ? . Your valuable help or suggestion is expected.

Hello Everyone,

I hope this is the correct place to ask this question.

I have a [stock] GT-S5830i running Android Version 2.3.6.

I would like to use this phone with the "Moves" App, however it requires Android Version "4.0 and up".

I have done basic google-searches, but have only found xda-banned ROMs which is obviously less than ideal.

I found a post here listing lots of ROMs compatible with this phone, but cannot see any of them referencing a specific Android Version.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehsanotaku:
[MENTION=6452609]GRansom[/MENTION], Please define "Move" app ? IF this is some sort of fitness app which requires 4.0+ support ,there are dozen of Roms available @ Development section such as :Touchwiz-Resurrected ROM; CyanogenMod 11.0 - androidarmv6 [COOPERVE][Nightly Builds]; Ace-i-Sure v.12.0; AceJB ect etc,,,,.

Theoretically You can enjoy Support of Android 4.0+for mostly application that was not supported in GB environment, Provided they must be compatible with your hardware available inside your device ( CPU : 832 MHz Broadcom BCM21553, ARMv6; Memory : 384 MB RAM (accessible: 278 MB).

Search for your app specification, and if you need consultation we are here ,,,
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GRansom:
Thanks ehsanotaku,

The Moves App is a fitness app called "Moves", using the accelerometer to detect footsteps. [ play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.protogeo.moves ]

Thanks for the example ROM names - I see under the topic of each specific ROM, it sometimes mentions the android version it uses/ports/etc. The main reason I was lost was that this version info wasn't listed on the ROM-overview as far as I could see, so Thankyou very much :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehsanotaku:
And make sure you got all of the essentional sensors available to you , since this is a legacy device and most of fitness apps require some sort of sensors being active for monitoring and stuff i guess. ( Need hardware requirement of app for future comment )
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GRansom:
Unfortunately, I cannot find an exact list of hardware requirements; though there is only 1 device explicitly excluded from the app compatibility due to "Samsung Note II cannot run its accelerometer sensor in the background".

I know that the gt-s5830i has an accelerometer, and if this is the only sensor required by the app, there should be no problems [unless may be this device also has a similar restriction on the use of the accelerometer].

Unless someone here is already running this app [or already confirmed this app cannot run], I guess the only thing for me to do is "try it and see".

I'll do my research tonight to find how to do my first rooting-upgrading thingie [not even sure of the exact terms :) ] while backing up/not losing the IMIE.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 6012168:
Hi guys,

Yesterday i finally got my lollipop OTA update. As I am rooted I had get back to the stock recovery.

So my CID IS HTC__032 and i found a recovery 3.28.401.6 for the matching CID.

Once the recovery was loaded and I tried to process the update, phone restarted and got stuck showing "entering recovery".

Searching the web i found another recovery matching my CID which started with a 6.XX.XXX.X. I tried loading it and once i tried processing the update the phone didn't boot into recovery anymore but the update screen showed me a triangle with a red exclamation mark.

I would like to fix this issue without doing a factory reset. Any ideas how?

Maybe I used the wrong stock recovery version and this is causing the issue?

Thanks!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
A factory reset will not fix that problem anyway. You use have the recovery version matching your firmware version. You also need 100% stock /system partition and /data/preload
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
Post your fastboot getvar all without imei and serial number so we can locate the correct recovery for you please, you need to base it on your version main really, not so much your cid, or you can pull the one out of the ota and flash that one before trying to update, you'll find the ota in your internal storage / downloads folder, it's just a zip file.

The red triangle thing is stock recovery, sounds like your just using the wrong one.

Got the issue sorted. I did the following. I went into the setting - software information - Software number.

I noticed that on the stock recovery collection link there was exact the same software number stated as stock recovery. I downloaded it and transferred to the phone. After that the update run smoothly and I have my long awaited Lollipop.

Here are some tests I have done on BLACK 2.5

File System Memory Allocation: the more memory WM6 allocates, the faster it will run.

Font Cache: the more memory allocation, a faster UI is possible.

Black 2.5 CLEAN Install - FREE RAM on Soft Reset: ~32MB

File System Memory Allocation: Auto

Font Cache: 8192 bytes

Customizations for you to try:

Buzzing - On "SPEED" WM6 (FREE RAM: ~24MB)

File System Memory Allocation: 8mb

Font Cache: 32768 bytes

Performance - Faster WM6 (FREE RAM: ~28MB)

File System Memory Allocation: 4mb

Font Cache: 32768 bytes

Memory - More Free RAM trading off Speed (FREE RAM: ~ 32MB)

File System Memory Allocation: close to zero

Font Cache: 2000 bytes

Going back to the Defaul BLACK 2.5 setting:

Default BLACK - Let WM6 decide - (FREE RAM: mixed results depending on usage)

File System Memory Allocation: Auto (determined by WM6)

Font Cache: 8192 bytes

Ensure you SOFT RESET after installing one of the cabs.

Also, if moving from one CAB setting to another e.g. Memory --> Buzzing, then uninstall Memory, then install Buzzing and soft reset.

Post your results here in this thread.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jasjamming:
It does not harm the hermes, it just allocates more or less memory (leaving less or more usable) to the file system.

Not sure about battery implications but I beleive it will be the same.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DR400:

just installed ... it looks to me like as fast as black 2.0 ... by the way I was a bit disappointed by 2.5 in comparison with 2.0. Execution of softwares seemed to be faster in 2.0. Using the "buzzing" effect seems to equal in a way the reactiveness of 2.0

Just first thoughts ...

Cool, i'll have to play with these! When you allocate more ram to windows, does it come off the Program or Storage space?
