[General Questions and Answers] yeahforbes:
Hey everyone, first post here. Been a Droid Eris user with KaosFroyo/CM for a few months now, and everything has been awesome until a few days ago.

I lost all data connectivity.

2G, 3G, WiFi, same exact symptoms. Every app that uses data throws the error in its own specific manner, but always some variant of "No data connection" or "Network unavailable" or "Check your connection" etc. etc.

On the handshake level, everything seems normal. I can connect to WiFi networks and it does the usual "Obtaining IP Address..." --> "Connected." I get the WiFi logo in the notification bar. And I have the 3G logo unless I turn cell data off, and it's up/down arrows even flash a little right after I turn cell data on.

It broke almost a week ago, so you can be sure I've tried many WiFi networks and many cell towers and rebooted many times and taken the battery out... all the usual stuff. There is something seriously wrong. Help!

Thanks,

Mike
[General Questions and Answers] tremorz82:
I'd try a master reset. If that doesn't change anything, call your service provider and see if the phone can be swapped for another under warranty. Did this with a Droid 1 a few months back with Verizon w/o any problems.

Good luck!

Edit: I just noticed you are running a mod on that phone. Have you run Fix Permissions? Sometimes that irons out bugs that appear. I'd get with the developers and see what they say. One thing you could try is to re-install that mod. Be sure to wipe all data when you do. It'll be like starting over; but, starting over with the mod installed.

Good luck!
[General Questions and Answers] Diamond_dawg:
Back up and wipe the phone and reinstall the rom
[General Questions and Answers] yeahforbes:
Master reset did the trick. Unfortunately I didn't have great backup tools, and I couldn't even install new ones due to lack of connectivity (and apk's not always available). Saved my sms history at least, by copying the database to sd and back, thanks to root.

Really appreciate the noob help culture. (must say, it's weird being one, as I'm generally proficient except that I joined the Android world by purchasing a pre-rooted/modded phone)

My phone notified me of the OTA 2.29.405.2: update today in work, but i was busy and needed my phone so i said NO, now i cant get it to show up again, just says no updates available? anyway to get this up again?

[Desire General] denialnw10:
I've got the same issue.

EddyOS, I'm trying that down volume and power button but i get nothing but a vibrating phone... am i doing something wrong?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Vibrating constantly? Just hold volume down and press power once. Kepp holding volume down until the HBOOT screen with the 3 Androids appears
[Desire General] denialnw10:
Thanks for the quick reply...

Do I have to be on a specific screen for this to occur as at the moment it just keeps vibrating when i hold down the "down volume" side key, then when i press the "power button" it switches off or turns to phone lock. Do i need a special program for the screen to appear?

UPDATE: Sorted it. Thanks for the help. Didnt realise the phone needed to be powered off and then volume held down the powered back on. Thanks again.
[Desire General] irfanarif:
Will that be an official update (manual flash link?). I dont want a custom ROM and also dont want to root the phone.

Hi everyone,

I recently receive my new SE X10 mini pro from Vodafone, and I already updated it using PC Companion!

Model: U20i

Version: 2.1-update1

Kernel: 2.6.29

And now, How can I root him?

I read that we can use z4root and found it in Market, but I did not found that program.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks

I tried to root just about an hour ago with Z4Mod... it seemed like it worked, superuser installed.... but when I tried to download to titanium backup to make sure busybox was installed it said I did not have root.

Verified this by typing su in terminal emulator as well.

What am I doing wrong?

Also, are there no custom ROMs for this phone?

However, I do not have root. Titianium Backup states so, and terminal emulater su does not return a #.

Hi, have you found a solution for this, I instaled mar 2011 nrg rom and have same issue here ???
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I know neither one of you want to hear this but maybe you should try a hard reset. It is highly recomended to preform a hard reset after flashing a new ROM anyway. As another member posted once (I can't remember their name), "Sometimes Windows Mobile needs a good kick in the shorts" lol. But make the hard reset your last option and give others time to post here with other advice.

hi,

I am assumin you want to share your mobile internet with pc.

Download z4root from market(or do a google search for this app), install on your phone and root your phone(this is 100% safe, trust me).

Then download and use Barnacle wifi tether from market and you will be able to do what you want( I use it and it works flawlessly for me:))

If you can't find any app, write back to me, I will post them.

Cheers,

Sourabh
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] KreAch3R:
I agree with the above post and I would like to add the USB option (easy tether), because you may need or want to do it this way, too. But for wifi tethering barnacle is the right choice.:)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phzi:
You would be well off to learn a bit about forum searching. Don't expect others to do your research for you.

1> -256, -500 indicate the 'refresh rate' of the kernel. It's a rate in hz, and doesn't represent an "overclock" at all and has nothing to do with the cpu. Some people find 500hz slightly more smooth/responsive, and may have slightly worse battery life. There's lots to read on this topic if you actually care.

2> I have used my i9000m on several modem and rom versions; it depends on the specific rom if it will be compatible with the Canadian market i9000ms; most should be with no problems, and the stock JPx roms/modems have worked fine for many. You can even use a JPx modem and still maintain 850mhz if you change the settings in the *#2263# Band Selection menu.

Note: I personally would stay away from odin with these phones, as there seems to be some kind of sd corruption (I've had to get a phone repaired, as have many others). Stick with 2e/CWM.

2-B> A factory reset takes your phone to the base firmware state. If you're using a full firmware rom, it should revert back to the options in said firmware. The CSC only specifies extras afaik, and shouldn't override any of the rom's base settings.

3> As long as the kernel is compatible with your current config, it'll work fine. I run Doc's Barebone UGJK3 w/ UGJK4 modem and k10i kernel. The only thing you probably need to be warry of is lagfix and advanced option compatability between kernels. If you disabled advanced options/lagfixes first, most other kernels will probably install just fine. Flash the base rom first, then everything you want to override (e.g. kernel/lockscreen/skins) after.

[Epic 4G Android Development] plapczyn:
Ok, a couple of people have varients of this, but most of them are pretty similar. This is my method which is based on the post by SINN which I and many others have used to get their's working. I will try to consolidate the know methods that people have used to the top post. Okay, Let's go do this...

My Method

Method 1 (Do First):

1) Start from a DI18 ROM/Modem with WORKING GPS

2) ODIN in DK28 Modem - I (and others) have had better success with version 1.3 and 1.61. GIYF them.

3) Restart and verify GPS lock in DI18 ROM + DK28 Modem - It could take a minute or two

3a) If this step fails go to method 2

4) Flash a DK28 ROM, verify GPS lock

Method 2 (Long Way Home):

1) Start with stock DI18 + working GPS

2) ODIN in modem

3) Restart and verify GPS functionality with DI18 ROM + DK28 GPS

2) ODIN in DK28 full

3) Restart and reverify gps lock

3a) If this step fails, take a nap, and return to step 1)

4) Reroot and flash in new DK28 based ROM

5) Reverify GPS lock

[Regarding the comment on the description] I could have, but you can start with method 2 by itself. It just takes longer. IMO trying method 1 first is worth it if it works. The sleeping comment was and is a joke, sometimes people use them in conversations or in prose to keep things light.

Regarding ODIN flashing, it doesn't just magically wipe your phone. The primary bootloader on your phone calls a secondary bootloader (usually loaded and run out of RAM in my experience (I make flash bootloaders BTW.)) The sbl.bin (secondary bootloader) file for DK28 is different than the DI18 one already on your phone. Also, the PIT file contains partitioning information and is only used when flashing the modem. Potentially (however unlikely since some people can use method 1) this could be causing an issue for some since I don't know what *.pit file they are using. Also, since this bootloader is working on a filesystem and partitioned flash arrays, this really complicates things if say partitions are changing sizes, moving, etc. So to answer your question the method's are different and not redundant.

SINNN's Method

Sprint hasn't released this update, in fact they specifically say not to use it:

http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/52685

(of course, I still installed it and I'm happy to say I have no GPS issues).

Plus, Samsung has been working on GPS fixes for the Galaxy S phones for a while, they have even released supposed fixes for some, just not the Epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I flashed only the modem for both dk17 and dk28 when it was available and have had zero GPS issues since dk17. I've never flashed a full tar on the my current Epic. GPS has been absolutely perfect.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brian_hoffman:
I was running Epic experience rom (DI18) and GPS worked fine.

I ODIN'ed the full Pre Rooted TAR.. GPS did not work

I went back to DI18 and GPS worked.

I used the Update.zip from google servers to update.. GPS broke

I went back to DI18- GPS worked

While running 2.1 I flashed the modem only DK28 and got a GPS lock

Then I used the upgrade.zip to 2.2 thru normal recovery-- GPS worked

Then I re rooted.

Thats the only way I got my GPS to work.

Install fresh 2.1 thru ODIN--- Get a GPS lock

Install modem only DK28-- Boot and Get a GPS lock

Install Froyo via update.zip ---GPS still locks
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
I've tried everything described all over this forum, but to no avail. I rarely ever use GPS, but it would be nice to actually have it working in case I need it lol. In my completely non-professional opinion, I think it either has to do with the DK28 modem itself or with the method we are using to flash it. Hopefully someone over in South Korea is looking into this, because it seems like half of the users on this site have problems with the Epic's GPS.

[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
It's possible your issue could be hardware. I know my first Moment came out of the box with a bad GPS chip. Wouldn't get any GPS signal at all. I took it back and swapped it out for another one that never had any GPS issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] plapczyn:
...standard PR stuff. Hey we aren't responsible for breaking your phone with this. Do you think they would be like...hey we are slowly rolling out the release, if you are in a hurry go dl it from xda. lmao.

Secondly, I wouldn't believe everything you read on forums. ;) The GPS issues before had to do with bad cache information, not simply not working at all. The point of the post is to try to come to a consensus about how to fix the issue of no GPS after reflashing so that the solution isn't buried in all of the different ROM threads.
[Epic 4G Android Development] plapczyn:
The fact that it works for DI18 but not on DK28 is unlikely hardware my friend. If it never worked, that is an entirely different issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
That is very well possible, and most likely the root of my issue. My GPS has never worked properly, even on stock DG27 and DI07. A friend of mine also has a Moment, and had the exact same problem and got his replaced as well. I love my Epic though, I mean this specific phone because my cpu plays well with overclocking :-) Oh well just gonna have to tough it out, and keep using my TomTom lol.

[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I was talking about thomasskulls problem. His never worked on any build.

I had issues with the GPS cache getting gunked up every other day when I was running di18, but as I stated earlier, GPS has been flawless with dk17 and dk28 modems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] imdjenk:
I'll post the steps I took that broke my gps if it helps anyone.

I flashed back to di18 stock from acs syndicate/phoenix kernel zip through clockwork.

Flashed dk28 modem using the clockwork flashable zip

Flashed nebula rom with clockwork.

= broken gps

To fix I followed sinns steps:

Back to di18 stock and modem

Flashed dk28 modem

Booted into stock 2.1 and gps locked in google maps

Flashed nebula

=working gps
[Epic 4G Android Development] imdjenk:
LOL I thought I was replying to a different thread. Either that or thread title was changed. :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
Whats funny is dk17 with its modem worked flawless for me. Then odin dk28 and all over broken gps. Out the box Sprint Epic has Zero problems.And comfirmed by almost all tech sites.The rest of the galaxy s lineups have serious connecting problems. So if you have a Epic and were never ever were able to get 1 single lock with stock, u have a bad gps chip. Now for everyone who flashed the leaked betas and lost gps sattelite locks, there is a fix and it sticks compared to the early dk05 leak.

In a nut shell, after odin broke my gps with dk28, I did these exact steps. They are rather simpler and almost guaranteed to work.

1: Flash Stock.zip with CWM.

2: Boot up.

3: Swipe down top task clock bar thingy.

4: Touch GPS (turns green)

5: Open google maps. Hit My Location button on top left. Wait a few seconds and it WILL lock.

6: Odin DK28. Done. Gps works.

In a even more smaller nutshell for more advanced users.

1: Flash Stock.zip thru CWM.

2: Boot and gps lock thru google maps.

3: Odin DK28. Gps works again.

Hope it helps. :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Odin flashing overwrites everything in the phone except the sd card... how would anything you flash before the Odin flash be able to have any effect on anything after the Odin? Is it possible you mixed those up? (Odin to stock, update.zip to DK28)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
Followed to the letter, but GPS still doesn't lock on after 24-48 hours. Only way to make it latch onto the satellites is by powering off and r&r the battery. Using GPS Tracker so I know exactly what is going on with the GPS. This IMHO is being caused by the GPS cache problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Instead of writing method 2, you could have just said (in method 1)

3a) If this fails, repeat steps 1 - 3, then pretend step 3 did not fail and continue as normal (If it fails again, you are sleep deprived)

It is exactly the same as the method SINN posted, with added (and ridiculous) redundancy (take a nap? really?)

And I'd still like to know how doing anything at all before an Odin flash will make a difference... Anyone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] markstibbyspot:
There are several methods to restoring the gps...i did so without odin.
