Hi everyone,

Pretty new at flashing this phone and looked for answers for past hour to no avail.

I flashed Super Optimized Kernel 4_6_8 with odin (successfully) and when my phone rebooted, I get tons of force closes...same happens with 4_6_5. Any ideas? I'm on JL2.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] neoxyrel:
it happened to me once..the solution is to re-flash your device with a stock rom, use CFroot, place the custom rom in the sd card, flash to the new custom rom and flash again with the super optimized kernel...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] neoxyrel:
BTW...this thread should not be here... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mazroui:
this should of been moved to Q n A.....

im pretty sure u had a lagfix applied earlier, same thing happened to me especially when converting /system usually gets those FCs working hard

id recommend a fresh flash followed by SO kernal -it usually helps a lot with such matters- and use the root/tweaks/lagfix option from there and enjoy....
[Fascinate General] bswright:
I have a very strange issue going on with my fascinate right now. Before I go into too much description, here is my setup, to see the big picture. Rooted, stock vzw with geekniks stupidfast for DI01 (thought original kernel was original issue). I've tried to force the ota to DL09 and I get "IP_PREVIOUS_UPDATE_FAILED" as it fails to verify the dl signature.

Ok, on to my true issue. When I plug my SF into my pc, I get unrecognized usb device. I have the drivers installed properly and have previously been able to use odin via usb. My pc doesn't see the sd card mounted or anything. I'm debating unistalling the usb hub and restarting the pc so it will pick it back up as a new device. I have debug mode and unsigned checked, however, the little red triangle is no longer present like it used to be. I also every once in a while have issues with my battery level being accurate, as in it shows 100% when its really at 36% etc. It still charges, and recognizes being plugged in (haptic and audible confirmation).

Anyone have a clue or suggestion? I'm new to android, but well versed in the pc world. I just installed the android sdk in hopes of maybe doing a wireless adb push eventually. I'm A) trying to correct the issue and update my os/rom, or B) somehow get me back to stock and unrooted without being able to usb odin, so I can swap out for a new phone.

Thanks in advance for any help, whether it works or not. :)
[Fascinate General] bswright:
Oh yeah, I'm running Win7 64bit.
[Fascinate General] tmlhodge:
so you are on stock vzw but you have used odin before. Did you use it to get clockworkmod on the phone?

did you return to stock from dj05 or dl09 OR have you always been on stock rom
[Fascinate General] bswright:
I used odin to flash cwm. I'm on DI01 upadate-1. Had done the first update ota, then rooted and flashed cwm. I have been running that since until today. Thought kernel may have been issue, so flashed geekniks kernel for DI01 and have seen no change, except better performance as was expected. That is where I am now. Thinking about going back to previous kernel, but this seems better until I decide what I can do. Original nandroid and other in betweens to date still manifest the issues, which are only recent, like last few weeks.

Thanks again.
[Fascinate General] norm883:
Does not see the Samsung SD Card

I have had similiar issues since DL09.

Try turning off your phone then reconnect USB after it reboots.

Seems to want to see it as a CD Rom.

[Fascinate General] bswright:
I've rebooted my phone and pc, multiple times, no luck. Oh, one other thing, I tried popping the sd card into a card reader and I was able to see the files briefly, and upon trying to select anything, it totally disappears from view, as in pc doesn't see card anymore. Now I can't get the pc to see it at all. So I can't read/write it that way. My phone still sees it and can mount and unmount for removal on phone itself, but not with the pc.
[Fascinate General] bswright:
I'm non-voodoo as well.
[Fascinate General] mikey6p:
Try flashing a different kernel. My first fascinate was picky with which kernels wanted to work right with the.usb connection.
[Fascinate General] bbitz:
In my experience, you can still use ADB to push and pull things from your device even when your pc doesn't recognize your device. I know this doesn't help with flashing DL09, but it could help you push a different kernel to your device (or you could download one from xda forums via the xda app). A different kernel might clear up the issue for you. Good luck!
[Fascinate General] nunyazz:
This fixes it....

[Fascinate General] Chuban7:
For your first issue it is because you are rooted you will not get ota updates. You should use odin and flash DJ05 imo it is much better and there are more ROMs and kernels
[Fascinate General] bswright:
Thanks for all the help, I'm going to give it a whirl later and see if it works. I'll let you know. :)
[Fascinate General] bswright:
Before I get too far deep in, could I just unroot via a terminalapp and then force the OTA to get me up to speed? Would at least like to see if I can deal with the minor malfunction while still being current.
[Fascinate General] bendbowden:
This won't fix the problem because he is not on DL09. It will likely make his problem worse. You might want to read the entire post b4 you give suggestion.

To answer your question sir: if you can't get your pc to read your sd card with a card reader, the problem most likely has nothing to do with your phone. It probably is a corrupted|damaged card. It could also be a problem with your computer (this can be ruled out by successfully connecting another usb device to your computer).

Most likely, you will have to buy another micro usb card.

[Fascinate General] bswright:
Ok, been trying a few things, and I'm starting to lean towards the sd card being corrupt (as one of the issues), sending my important pics and backups of my contacts, sms, etc to dropbox as we speak. I actually tried the SV kernel from adryn, and my phone has seen no ill effects (possibly no haptic, but didn't care at this point), everything seems to be working just like nothing changed. I actually briefly got the USB debug icon up for a second and it said usb connected, however I was not connected to anything, lol. It had done this on the stock kernel as well. I've booted my phone without the sd card in and it starts up normally, but the USB debug icon is still not present, even though the option is ticked on.

I can still force my phone into download mode, however my computer still doesn't recognize the COM port, so odin is out of the question right now. If I were to get my hands on the stock kernel again, could I factory reset the phone, remove root, and potentially force the OTA and then reroot? I've seen some options for terminal apps where I could ru superuser and busybox. Any thoughts on that route? I may give my roomie's pc a try, when he's out, as well to widen my test field.
[Fascinate General] bswright:
Well, I got my pc reading the card via a card reader, but not while inserted in my phone. I'm going to try to uninstall the usb hub on my computer and restart my pc with no usb periphs connected. I read somewhere that someone was able to get the phone recognized again, but I have a feeling that it isn't going to work, since I never see the USB debug icon anymore.

On a side note, I get a com.android.settings force close message somewhat frequently, on stock, geeknik and adryn's kernel. I've started unloading apps left and right, but no avail. Thinking I need to get back to full stock somehow without odin. Suggestions?
[Fascinate General] printing724:
I had similar issues. No usb, battery flashing to 100%. Tried everything as you have. Couldn't figure out how to get back to stock without odin. I'm running DJ05 superdark with geeknik 1.54 kernel.

This went on for a week and I was ready to give up and go buy another phone when one day the usb icon flashed momentarily when I plugged it in to charge.

In the end, it turned out to be a dirty usb connector on the phone. Cleaned it with a paper swab dampened with alcohol. I still have no idea why it was so sensitive to the small amount of dirt that came off it.

Hope this helps.
[Fascinate General] bswright:
Well, I tried the alcohol swabbing, and it mildly worked. I get the usb debugging icon more often, but it also shows that the usb is connected, even though it isn't. My pc briefly recognized it once. Would I be able to disassemble it and clean or replace the usb port myself?

I've even blasted it with compressed air.
[Fascinate General] printing724:
You've gone farther than I had to. I didn't need to resort to compressed air.

Do you have more than one usb cable available? I had bought an aftermarket one in addition to the one that came with the phone.

The original cable is still wonky on connection. It charges ok (no more battery jumping to 100%), but usb recognition is a fifty-fifty proposition. The aftermarket cable does charging and usb correctly.

I have had to reset my PC's usb drivers once by rebooting the phone while connected (the PC recognized it as a CD-ROM drive). This may be coincidental or an indication of a chronic connection problem.

I speculate in my case that the aftermarket cable distorted the phone connector somehow so that it doesn't like the original cable any more. Pure speculation.

Anyhow, glad to see that you're making progress. I know how frustrating it was for me. Keep us posted.
[Fascinate General] bass0324:
I had the same problem at one point. I found out that if your turn the phone off, plug in the usb cord from the computer, then turn the phone on while the phone is still plugged in. once the phone reboots, unplug the phone, then replug the phone in to the computer and then the computer should recognize it. This works for me every time that i have this problem
[Fascinate General] bswright:
Were you able to use odin after that?

I tried my BB cable, as it is the same, no luck.
[Fascinate General] lovemyraffe:
This worked for me! Thank you!
[Fascinate General] printing724:
My problem (and, I think bswrights) are/were deeper than driver recognition. The phone battery indicator jumping to fully charged when not is the indication of this. (I interpreted that as a voltage drop across a weak connection that reduced the charging current to a level that triggered the 100% indication.)

I haven't tried it yet. I assume it will work since all other usb functions are working.

Sounds like your problem is worse than mine was. I doubt if disassembly will help since the usb connector is a one piece unit. You'll just end up closer to something you still can't get at. Might be worth a try if you're feeling brave.

The only remaining suggestions I can make are (1) to keep cleaning it (it took a couple of cleanings to fully fix mine. It improved with repeated cleanings) and (2) try someone else's Fascinate cable after you've verified it's operation their phone, and (3) if you can get it to recognize usb long enough to odin back to stock, take that puppy back to the friendly red people.

I sure wish there were a method to flash back to stock via wifi. It's be a good backup to usb port failures like yours and mine (and possibly others). I haven't been able to find one or figure it out for myself, though.

Again, good luck, and I'll check back to see how your results are.
[Fascinate General] larsdennert:
Not sure what you need adb for but adbwireless is an option too. DL from market. No drivers needed. Works over wifi.
[Fascinate General] hhp_211:
I did have to select mount, turn off [un-mount] and mount again before PC would see it but hey --- it is working !!!

Finally!!! --- I just received this new phone, bone stock... and I could not get the SD card to mount where my PC would see it.. the phone would see it but not the pc...

So again THANKS!!!

Now I will be able to root and upgrade!! Yeah!!!
[Fascinate General] Ibheath:
I don't know if it will help, but I have a stock phone, and just did the OTA update to dl09. I kept having the same problem, but just reinstalled the samsung USB drivers on my PC and now am able to mount the drive like I could before the update.

[Fascinate General] bswright:
I'll have to check it out. Right now I'm thinking i'm going to have to go to the stock DI01, un rooted via a terminal emulator. Then I could do the ota and get up to DL09, possibly wireless adb root my phone again (if it works), and then find an alternate method to get CWM back on it (possibly a copy of the update file to the sd card? My pc can read it in a card reader). Then I would be happy enough for now. I can use sns kernel flasher app for my simple kernel needs.Quickboot and RM for my rom flashing needs. And TB for my apps. Don't know if I'd have to do something similar for each major update though if my usb problem doesn't work its way out. Money is a bit tight, so an extra usb cable is a luxury I can't afford right now, lol. Trying to find the cheapest fix. :)

Would the above plan possibly work for me?
[Fascinate General] bswright:
So, i'm going to try the paintbrush dabbed in alcohol usb cleaning fix this afternoon. Let's hope it works. Had a staples gift card, so I went and got the craft paintbrushes, a new monster cable, and an energizer battery backup/charger. Hoping I don't have to deal with Big Red.
[Fascinate General] bswright:
No luck on the cleaning try. Gonna keep it daily procedure to try to get it going. Also got wrong cable at the store. Gotta return that later.
[Fascinate General] gunnermike:
just so everyone knows, if you are having the mount problem, adyrnalynes test 5 fixes it.
[Fascinate General] bswright:
I attached a pic of a screencap to show what it looks like when my usb debug shows up. Is the usb symbol to the right supposed to be there? It's not plugged in to anything, and its been a while since remembering what it looked like.
[Fascinate General] bswright:
Well, I finally got upgraded to froyo and here's how I managed to do it. I got out my BB cable again and tried it. No luck, however I rried the boot and reboot thing and it kinda worked, but made my sd card only readable in the card reader. So I was rebooting into recovery a few times and it started being seen by my pc, but not in odin. I had an idea to try to go from recovery into download mode. My pc didn't like me pulling the battery first, so I pulled the battery as soon as DL mode appeared.

This got odin seeing it, so I flashed the new cwm for 05 & 09. It rebooted itself, and what I thought was bricked, as it showed a little phone and a pc seperated by a short dotted line with a tiny yellow triangle with a "!" in middle. Anyways, 20 minutes later I got booted back into recovery and repeated my previous method to get odin to see phone to flash the 09 modem. Rebooted to recovery. Installed froyo via instructions. Now I don't remember reinstalling busybox and superuser, because when I rebooted, all old apps were still present, and I hadn't gone into titanium backup. It says I'm still rooted, etc., could this be right? I backed up my sms, so I was good there. Just from what little I know about android, this doesn't make sense. Anyways, i'm happy again, just gotta try one of the cd-rom fixes, as I have that issue now.
[Fascinate General] ziggy484:
I gotta say you are brave to continue down the whole "rom, flashing..." path after what you went through. I had my phone just about bricked when i messed up in recovery trying to get froyo. Had no download mode or recovery, so when i got it back i immediately unrooted and left it alone for now. Btw, the froyo leak is prerooted.

Sent from my stock 2.1 unrooted, fully bloated Fascinate
[Fascinate General] bswright:
Ok, the preroot makes sense now, lol. I figured during the whole process of trying to upgrade, if I could get to the next official modem, I could have a fallback for my rom adventures and getting to a stock build, or at least one big red would accept on a return. I figured once all the pc needs were met, I could do the rest via phone and dropbox. :)

On a side note, waited on a verizon rep at lunch today, unknowingly(i'm a server), and started to say how I had downloaded the newest update, lol. She had the same phone, lol, but once I heard her say she was a rep, I tightened up on the specifics of my upgrade. Yay for verizon having to do a patch and me not verbally voiding my warranty, lol.
[Fascinate General] bswright:
Just watched the video in another thread on how to make a jig to get your phone unbricked and saw the screen on the bricked device, I chuckled inside, as I knew the icon on the screen from my phone, lol. Never knew I had technically bricked my phone, and somehow unbricked it, lol. Was just trying sensible things, lol. Now I at least have options if I do it again. :)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] nimdivino:
Hello guys,

I have been looking for a music player that can go thru folders and able to add a particular song to a playlist that doesn't require opening the file.

Or as an alternative, an app like astro but with a music option to add an mp3 to a playlist.

Ny suggestions guys? Thanks a lot guys.

Nim
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] marvin02:
PowerAmp reads folders (or your library) and can add songs to a playlist by long pressing on the song.

If you want an app that builds playlists on the phone try Playlist Builder.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] BrockFerens:
Mortplayer i think is what your looking fkr

1887 ~ 1.152 / Streakdroid 1.5.3
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] nimdivino:
Thank you guys for the replies.

PowerAmp sounds really good. I will try that as soon as I get a 2.2 update..

BrockFerens:

Thanks for the app recommendation but I can't add playlist with a long press. I will be keeping it though because atleast I can play a song inside a full folder. I am currently organizing all my MP3s and make main folders by genre and inside will be sub-folders of artists, and inside those sub-folders will be the songs. I am also editing the MP3 tags.

Thank you guys a lot.. These 2 players makes me a happy man. =)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] marvin02:
If you use Windows I recommend Mp3Tag and if you want to create some playlists with your PC try Playlist Creator.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] nimdivino:
Thanks for the recommendation but mp3tag has no way to import tags but it can export tags in excel file though. I found a windows based program that is pretty powerful and can import and export, just can't think of the name right now.

Thanks again guys. I have been using mortmusic player for the last 5 days and I love this app even without making a playlist. The way I am organizing my mp3s I probably wouldn't need playlist anyway..
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] mellojoe:
Have you tried Mixzing? I got it recently looking for something that would play by folder, since all my music is meticulously organized by folder even though many don't have artist or album tags of any kind. Most music players split up all my organizing to try to re-organize by album or artist, which doesn't work for me.

Mixzing works great for me, so far. And it goes out and downloads album and artist info if I want it to.

I downloaded MortPlayer to try, too, but I just haven't gotten around to playing with it much.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] nimdivino:
My mp3 music is organized the same as yours and I want to play music by folders and sub-folders. Mp3 tags just doesnt work for me. I played with mixzing before with my HTC evo but never really satisfied with it hence why I was still looking. Atleast for now, mortplayer is keeping me happy.

sorry for invading your topic, OP :)

but I have a very similar issue/question.

just like the OP, I'm not an android user yet, but I was thinking about getting a device with 1GB of ram and rooting it (Atrix maybe), will the system/experience be similar to that of the NS? ... am I going to feel different only when there is a new update or is the difference going to be all the time?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
typically if you are going to root then it kinda doesnt matter anyway as you will be getting many updates right from the ROM dev anyway, like cyanogen. so really who cares about official google updates.

however i should warn that the motorola atrix likely will NOT be able to load custom ROMs, just like the droid x, if it comes with an encrypted boot loader. dont support motorola.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suleiman.aql:
Oh! ... now that's some important information!

I think I'll wait for its release then and check what people say... I suppose that people will figure out if it's root-able or not very soon after the release, right?

This is pretty easy!

Download on your computer:

Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/home

Calibre: http://calibre-ebook.com/

On Your Nook:

Dropbox (in market)

In Calibre

-Connect Share > Connect to Folder > Select a dropbox folder

That's about it, now you can send to device and have your book pushed to your Nook.
[Nook Color General] sasigns:
I am trying to set this up the way you described. When i open calibre and set up the folder it takes it. Then i select a book and tell it to go to the folder. It brings up a window and asksbwhat folder in side of drop box. The only thing that gets pushed is a meta data file. When i go back into calibre the option is now greyed out.. any ideas???
[Nook Color General] Ferrari328:
Works Great!

To get the file to actually appear in the dropbox folder on the nook you have to actually open it and then you can import into aldiko or move it to where your ebooks are stored.
[Nook Color General] GTT1:
To me its easier to just use ES File Explorer

Touch LAN and my PC address touch my Calibre folder copy and then paste to my Nook library
[Nook Color General] e.mote:
I use CIFSManager to share the Calibre drive, then point Aldiko or whatever reader to the share.

Another way is to start Calibre's web server, then point the web browser to PC's IP address. This has the advantage of allowing you to see the book description, in addition to sorting by various methods. The disadvantage is that the web layout is poor (at least for mobile browsers; it's OK on desktop browsers).

Yet another way is to pay the $3 to get the Calibre Library app. It's more compact, but it doesn't allow browsing.
