It sounds like you have a stock rom, and the stock kernel... if this is not the case then just wait for your kernel/rom to be updated or wipe everything out and flash the .tar here if you want the update now.

If you have clockwork recovery installed this thread **p://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=785028 has a file that will restore all the system files so the update can be applied (a direct download of the update is also there, once you have the apps it can be installed using clockwork recovery or the default recovery instead of waiting for your phone to download it).

If you don't have clockwork recover you can try manually returning the APKs to where they belong.

Don't forget to de-root as well, I never had to do this since I just re-flashed mine (it was on my to-do list anyway for other reasons) but this thread h**p://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=786305 covers de-rooting.

However, if that doesn't work (which it's iffy at best) Titanium backup will work for yous since you don't currently have a deodexed ROM. Just be careful what you restore... I.E. if your contacts are all on google, don't bother restoring the contacts storage data. If you had replaced the calendar app on your phone don't restore until you've replaced it after flashing, etc.

Hope that helps.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
Power off and boot back into download mode (hold 1 on the keyboard). You need to flash something successfully with Odin.
[Epic 4G Android Development] II5StarII Swag:
Thank you for replying but when i put the tar file in the PDA box and hit star it always says failed.Any ideas i only have Auto-reboot and Debug En. checked but nothing under Debug En. is checked.thank you for your help
[Epic 4G Android Development] siptang:
first disconnect your phone prior to running odin and keep trying. It took me 9 tries for me to successfully install the tar file.
[Epic 4G Android Development] II5StarII Swag:
Ok ill Keep Trying.will post how its going
[Epic 4G Android Development] siptang:
Yea, I will keep checking to your progress.

Let me also rephrase little bit.

First disconnect the phone then turn off the phone by removing the battery.

second Re insert the battery then go into download mode by pressing qwerty 1 and power button.

third run odin

fourth connect the phone via usb and see if it's connected to any com.

fifth follow the steps, click on what ever is needed and place pit file, tar file and run.

Takes a little bit so have patience and if it doesn't work, go back to one and try again. Took me 9 tries because odin is one finicky b!tc#.
[Epic 4G Android Development] II5StarII Swag:
I think now im stuck at file analysis...i have worst luck ever this week -_-
[Epic 4G Android Development] siptang:
make sure two things are clicked

auto reboot on the left and declick f.reset time and then click on debug en.

whenever you run and keep on trying lol.

Sorry but that seems to be the only way.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
I'll put those both in my first post when I get home
[Epic 4G Android Development] II5StarII Swag:
thanks i understand lol just seems like anything i try isn't working ive tried about 20 times with the thing you told me to check but just unlucky -_- lol at this ppoint i just want to boot up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] II5StarII Swag:
if i flash a new rom in recovery will it boot up or will i still be stuck? im really frustrated now
[Epic 4G Android Development] siptang:
I am 90% sure that it will boot.

However you may hit android acore error and get force closes...

from my experience at least.
[Epic 4G Android Development] II5StarII Swag:
ive Been redoing it with odin all that time and still nothing im about to try to boot the boss rom and see if that will work.

i flashed it but my phone still wont boot and odin is not working...so am i screwed Wtf
[Epic 4G Android Development] siptang:
Go get a cup of coffee and walk away for little bit sounds like you need it lol.

Then go and follow the steps again to the T.

Let's see if you can pull this through.

Be sure the drivers are properly installed as well btw!
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Thx for this bro!
[Epic 4G Android Development] siptang:
One issue.

Once I flashed to stock using this tar file for some reason I cant use sdx.

It gives

"We're sorry, there was an Exception thrown while deleting:

Error running exec().

Commands:[su, -c, mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system] Working Directory: null Environment: null"

Any ideas wise ones?

I'm wrestling with it but not having any luck..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
This unroots your phone, did you reroot?
[Epic 4G Android Development] siptang:
yup, that I did.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
try reflashing, maybe something went wrong....and possibly redownload the sdx
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottkoblitz:
I did this because my epic wouldn't update from the DG17 to 27 let alone I07 for that matter. And after several tries because I was using the mirrored downloat at first I finally got it to successfully work. It was on 27 and I got the I07 allmost immediately and I was sooo excited! But then after getting my contacts put back on there today at sprint it wouldn't sync my facebook pics? So I went into acct's settings and removed facebook and tried to add it back. I finally got it added somehow but the feeds and updates widget app thingy will not sync fb? I tap on there to add and then it says I have to log in but when I try it says not able to log in right now please try later? I keep trying to sign in through different places like acct settings and contacts sync but it won't sign in to facebook? The wierd thing is that the facebook works fine and I'm logged in. It just won't sync it to accounts? and the news feed widget won't work?? Pleasehelp!I'm so fed up with this stupid phone!! I'm ready to take it back and get an EVO or try a new one that will hopefully update by itself.
[Epic 4G Android Development] siptang:
So I reflashed with the tar file.

Got root using clockwork mod.

Re-installed sdx app and same result...

anyone else with same problem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jimmyz:
How does the clockwork mod give you root? I think it only installs a custom recovery? Check with adb to see what happens when you type su in the shell
[Epic 4G Android Development] siptang:
Why did I think that it gave root?

Hmm perhaps that's the problem...

Which one would you guys recommend?

Would "One click root for the Epic 4G! v2.2.4 Now has Busybox & remount scripts" still work well? I heard that joey's root method doesn't agree with some roms and wanted to be safe...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
v2.2.4 one-click is the only true permanent root we have. And yes, use that. It's what I use, and everyone else too ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] siptang:
okie doke. thanks for the reply!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
that is not true. the custom kernals we have available have root built into them. that is the reason some roms dont play nice with kernals. some roms have root built in or the one click flasher. if your gonna use a kernal with root built into it your gonna wanna undo the one click root
[Epic 4G Android Development] shariteau:
If someone hasn't already replied. The D700 has 8gb of internal memory. A gigabyte(GB) is 8 gigabits(gb). 8 bits to a byte, 8 megabits to 1 megabyte, and so on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Thats not necessarily true. The roots in the kernels are based off joey's root.sh anyways
[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
Don't worry, I did the same thing. They do it to get you to see the ads over and over again on purpose.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Sorry about mega guys, it usually never gives problems, and its the only one my work doesnt block
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
all the roots are. you cant have joeys root method flashed and then add a kernal with the same script. that was the problem alot of people where having with roms n kernals. not working right with root. also with the one click method you need to update the binary every boot unless you push the superuser.apk and binarys with adb. with the root in kernal and s/u in the system/app this is unneeded
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
ok youre right
[Epic 4G Android Development] siptang:
ok, so I just uninstalled the root and installed geniusdog's kernel again.

I hope 15th time is the charm lol.

I'm like the other guys having problems. I tried this 20 times. I re-downloaded the files a ton of times (btw, rapidshare blows @ss). Finally when I thought there was no hope the damn thing worked.

My advice, follow the steps exactly (including battery pull and comp reboot) and keep trying, even if it takes 20 times. :eek:
[Epic 4G Android Development] II5StarII Swag:
it never worked for me even after 4 hours so i just gave up and went to the baked rom....what i did to get it out of download mode was remove the pda file and just ran it with the pit file it worked and i booted up.btw thanks to every1 who helped me really appreciated but nothing worked i guess we r to early into developement and alot of things arent working for every1
[Epic 4G Android Development] Raspster:
Well, Seems I've bricked my phone. I get the computer with the phone and the explanation in the middle. I've tried what others had said and left the battery out for 1 minute, 3 minutes, 1 hour! Still getting the error weather I go into download mode or not. No other way around this I guess right guys..?

UPDATE: Had SD card still in. duhhh.. FYI, if this happens, make sure you remove your SD card...

[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
So I was just listening to the engadget mobile podcast and they were talking about how lame it is that Motorola doesn't have an upgrade path from leaked ROMs, nor do they have a way to flash the phone back to stock.

I'm glad you do this for us, but I wish Sprint and Samsung were as good about doing this sort of thing as Palm was. WebOS Doctor is absolutely amazing for people who like to tinker. It just takes all the danger out of it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
I was a developer before I worked for sprint, so i knew how much of a ***** it was to get leaked update files, and official roms. And this stuff is really important to making a stable rom for people to use.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
Android Central is saying that the update is delayed. Are you going to not be able to post it now?
[HD2 Accessories] OneNutShort:
Hey everyone. I recently ordered a case off of amazon for my TMOUS HD2 that was listed for $0.01. I didn't know if it would be any good, but for a penny and $3 shipping it was hard to argue. Just got the case and I had to share because its a damn nice case for a penny! Feels super sturdy and the

entire

inside is lined with a soft material to prevent scratching. The flap on the front has some magnets sewn in so it stays secure. It does have a belt clip on the back which I'm not a huge fan of since I only store it in my pocket, but its got a pretty low profile as far as belt clips go so it doesn't bug me too much. When you first put your phone in its a pretty tight fit, but give it a day and it becomes a lot easier to slip in and out. I liked it so much I just placed an order for my buddy's HD2 and my gf's Incredible (doesn't fit the Incredible as well, but totally workable and she just needed something she could clip inside her purse. I know finding a good case can be a pain, but hopefully some of you will find this helpful :) Feel free to hit me up with any specific questions. Oh I should also mention that I had looked into some other cases such as OtterBox etc, but I wanted something that looked a bit more professional and didn't encase the phone.

Is it just me or does it appear to be RIDICULOUSLY expensive?

Nice device though!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] udovoodoo:
I agree but that site "expansys" from what i read in the Samsung Tab price posts jacks the prices up anyways. Lets hope its cheaper.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sodequis:
Ive noticed these things have insanely inflated prices any time a cell radio in is in the spec listing. I have no intentions of buying one for that purpose.. that is a bit stupid. Wifi would be just fine.. specially considering my dinc can supply it's 3g service without any extra monthly fees :P

Though it's awesome they rooted it already.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] AllGamer:
it'll be rooted and sim unlocked in no time because it uses all the same from Galaxy S
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] LostAlone:
Its not just that. Anywhere that is currently listing a sale price is utterly guessing. They genuinely have no information to work with. And then expansys are adding 200 on top of total guesswork.

Also, rootedness = awesomeness :D Can't wait to get this thing running. We might even get Cyanogen for it. That'd give it some real chops. Full bluetooth support + sixaxis controller/wiimote + SNES Emulator + 7inch screen/HDMI + 7 hours of battery = ultimate in traveling awesome. All of the gaming stuff gets better hooked up to one of these. ScummVM, emulators, tower defense, even suduko and mahjong is cooler.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] LostAlone:
Someone elsewhere in these forums posted a link to someone who had managed to get quadrant scores, and it would indeed seem to be plagued by the same kind of problems as the stock SGS, primarily because they haven't changed a whole lot. Luckilly since it is so similar to SGS, it strikes me that the current lag fixes might not even need to be changed for the SGS, aside from initially needing a manual update.zip route until someone makes a specific one-click app, since I imagine the Tab will have different usb drivers.

Still, anything you can do to make the SGS rock harder, you can near certainly do to the Tab. Just have to wait for the units to show up and the chefs to get to work.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] no6969el:
Wait so am i mistaken that they are removing just voice dialing.. meaning like.. "call mike jones" and it auto calls.. or are they removing the actual PHONE capibility in the tab?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jebise101:
Coming from a previous samsung device (omnia 2) there where some minor annoyances that i hated about the omnia and wonder if its true with the SGS as well since its another samsung device.

1.) Amount of free RAM left for the user/apps? with the omnia 2 which has 256MB of RAM yet usable was only 50MB for the user on stock ROM, which meant you could have maybe 2 apps open at a time.

How much RAM do you guys have on a stock ROM. It very impoarnt i get for stock ROM since most CFW ROMS will have bloatware removed.

2.) volume bumpers, most phones i have owned the volume bumpers act as Next Track and Previous Tack when held down, is this the case with th SGS? it did not work that way on the omnia 2.

3.) Auto closing apps, i hated that so much on the omnia, when ever the RAM got to low it would start randomly closing apps so it dose not display "low memory" message box. I have my music play and open opera and visit a website and bam it closes the music app, or i'm force to restart the phone due to poor memory management by winmo.

4.) Random lockup that either require to turn of and on the phone or yank the battery. Also on the omnia some time it just hangs and not very responsive espically when in a call.

These are just 3 i can think of that really annoyed me, if there is something that annoy's you please share as this will help me to decide if i get the SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
which of the 2 vibrants?

i9000m or SGH-T959?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozy944:
Most of your points are pretty general win mo faults and not samsung.

Ive got the captivate (which is identical to the vibrant) and this is my opinion after 2 days:

* Amount of free Ram hovers anywhere from 90MB - 160MB for me. Ive never had my music player close on me (I think android handles multi tasking differently to Win Mo). I can multi task (think 7 browser tabs, music, facebook updates, gmail sync, news sync, widgets galore, live wallpaper, a few games on freeze) without issue. The only thing Ive noticed is that it does close frozen apps e.g. if it runs low on memory but this happens only to the earliest open app (i.e. if I have opened 15 apps, it will close the very first one which i havent used in awhile).

* Yeah, nah, doesnt skip track like that. Custom headset play pause rewind buttons work though. Get yourself a headset with volume controls but I agree this is only a stopgap measure.

* Power button is always accessible if you have lockups. I have had one lockup due to my metamorph theme not playing nice. Kinda my fauult :D

* Ive noticed the lag issue that people complain about but to be honest, if youre coming from win mo....its ridiculously over emphasized. Mate, once you use a high end android phone, win mo seems archaic, lethargic and has poor touch implementation. Trust me, I've come from heaps of win mo phones :)

* GPS? I dont really use it and stick to network location only but hey, Im pretty sure its an issue if you go on roadtrips using google maps.

* The SGS is also quite plasticky and ridiculously light. This can be a plus or minus for you.

* I love having an LED flash which can be used as a torch and I truly miss this

All in all, having used a Nexus one, HTC Hero, Desire, and heaps of win mo phones, I can guarantee youll be pleasantly surprised with android and an SGS phone. Besides, if youre in the USofA , youve got that 30 day return policy anyway. Go into a store and try it all out. Pick whatever suits you ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
No GPS problems, no lag fix

(accuracy not perfect but close to my real life location and that is good enough for me)

stock JH2

no lag switching between programs, always have GPS CoPilot8 running, Samsung IM, Samsung Social Hub, Fring, 5 account Emails sync, 3 calendar sync, weather sync, 5 contact sync, music player over bluetooth

all running at the same time
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jebise101:
90-160MB depending on how many apps you have open? how much usable RAM do you guys get after a full restart?

The volume bumpers is a drag, i know i can get a headset that would do it just wish it had that feature. I will miss the LED flash as well one of the biggest flaws in the vibrant.
[Android Apps and Games] floepie:
Specifically, I'd like to map a long press of one of the 4 hardware buttons to an app called bookmark tree and do so either full time or at least within 'Web', the default browser. I hate the fact there are no foldered bookmarks in Android, and Bookmark Tree solves that dilemma. So, if could simply be able to long press one of the bottom keys within the browser, I could bring up all my bookmarks neatly organized by category by means of Bookmark Tree.

Does such an app exist?

Hello

I have a nexus one rooted with cm.6.00. Is there a way to change the boot animation? If so how can it he done and what is needed to do it?

Thanks in advance
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jbdavies:
I'm on the Droid, so not sure if it's the same... but I think it should be pretty similar.

The way I changed my bootup animation thingy, is downloaded the bootup from... some site. Can never remember the name of it. Mounted my Droid to the PC and moved the zip file to the root of the SD Card. Make sure it's named bootanimation.zip (not .zip.zip). Then use a root explorer application, and place it in the system/media folder. Overwrite the old one. I also replace the one in data/local. Not sure if it matters or not... but I do.

So that's what I did for mine. I have the aweseome Mario animation one. I love it. :)

Hope this helps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] njiwani:
Any chance you can give me a website link?

Not sure what's the update about, given 2.2 will be officially released soon.

Does anyone know what's the update about? Is it going to fix the unstable issue with 3 in Hong Kong?
