[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_fosi:
Hi all.

I have a US T-Mobile G1 and I've jacked it up.

Yesterday I had Froyo for Trout 1.82 working and I tried updating the hboot and radio to 1.33.0013d and 2.22.28.25, respectively. Everything seemed to be working fine until I made an error... I flashed the kernel ezBiffTestKernel20110222-2708_S.zip. Don't ask me why I did this, I couldn't tell you. Since then the phone has boot looped from the G1 splash screen to a black screen, back to the splash screen.

The phone has AmonRA 1.70 and I can still get into it.

At this point I have tried wiping data and both caches from within recovery, using fastboot and the flashable superwipe. After trying each of these methods, I have reflashed F4T, which is always successful but doesn't fix the boot loop. I've also tried flashing on the Cyanogen 6.1.0.DS, which is what the phone was running before F4T.

All the boot loop threads I have found here and elsewhere say that such problems are due to not wiping before a ROM flash and that wiping and reflashing will fix it... I don't know what to do. :(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Go into HBOOT-mode and have a look at the values presented here.

If you are really on SPL 1.33.0013d and RADIO 2.22.28.25, then you will need a 2708-kernel, otherwise you will have a boot-loop.

If you are not on 2.22.28.25 or 2.22.27.08, then you must not install a 2708-kernel, otherwise you will have a boot-loop ...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_fosi:
HBOOT says that hboot is 1.33.0013d and radio is 2.22.28.25.

So you are saying that I need to flash a 2708 kernel? I guess it can't hurt to try it again since I'm stuck where I am.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_fosi:
I flashed that kernel on again and now it is booting... So why did it give me issues last night?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Probably you flashed the kernel before flashing the ROM?

Kernels have to be flashed always on top of the ROM, otherwise the kernel contained within the ROM will overwrite the kernel flashed before.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_fosi:
No, I had the ROM on there first. I'm going to chalk it up to one of the "electronics do strange things sometimes" category. Thanks for your help. :)

hey budy why don't u try just running a speed test before and after tethering?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] skghosh:
Actually although it shows tether is active on the mobile but it really doesnot connect to the internet. i cannot ping say google.

Is there something i am missing...whats the speed test for if it really isnt connected to internet.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Mithun_srk05:
Well it happens if the speed is less or sometimes cuz of anti virus software.... It has happened to me before... Try again. :-)

[Optimus One, P500, V General] skghosh:
@mithun

ok, so it may be antivirus but where...on the phone or on the pc.

how do i run a speed test and on which device?

Btw have u been able to get tethering woring on your device?

@sarfaraz

i am trying tethering. what probably u r refering to is usng the phone as modem which is different from tethering.

at this point can u guys confirm if i understand this right. basically i want to use the wifi on my mobile to connect my pc to internet thru usb tethering. in principle is it supposed to work?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sarfaraz1989:
Found it.... on an EDGE network m pretty sure there is no difference whether u access internet on computer through phone by "dialing" through it or using your phone as an "ethernet adapter"
[Surround General] manee:
Guys, i bought a htc surround on no contacts and shipped it to Pakistan. i used it for 2 days , no issue, then i kept it in my locker and i stated using my defy.

Somehow i decided again to use htc surround, as i opened the box i realized the i forgot to shutdown the phone so the battery is dead, i put it on charging, i was not recognizing the charging, then i kept the battery out for 2 hours, again inserted , this time the original charger was picked up and battery started charging. After full charge, i started the phone and kept doing the configurations, the phone started to shutdown automatically after 2-3 steps, i again restarted, but the problem kept going on.

Meanwhile i decided to flash and unbranded ROM on surround ( as i thought it may be a software issue and i am comfortable with phone flashing). I picked up the Ansar's Cingular unbranded ROM and started flashing as i have a AT&T Surround. It stuck at 98%, the RUU displays error 226 and phone comes back again at boot loader. Then i tried to flash official RUU, it stuck at 9% with error 276. I also tried

Ansar's branded ROM, it stuck and 11% with same error 276. I have tried this on 3 computer, windows 7, vista and xp respectively but same issue. Please help i am in a mess, since i cannot send it back.

Please suggest me any solution, even hardware based because i don't have any choice, what could have gone wrong, i personally have flashed lots of window 6.5 phones .
[Surround General] jwzg:
I suggest trying flashing on a different computer. This sounds like something more complicated, but try the small things first and work your way up. Keep us posted.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hojosan:
I installed the no carrier IQ SyndicateROM Frozen 1.0 this week, and love it. It smokes, gives me more speed and finally I have a decent keyboard. I wasn't especially fond of the transparent pull down, so I flashed the stock theme add-on.

Well, that's all fine and good, works as promised, but I realize now that I would rather have the numerical battery indicator as well as some other minor mods that were in the original theme. Is there a simple way to return to the default theme for this ROM?

Cohiba asked a similar question in the monster thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=976194 ) but never got an answer. Or, at least, didn't get answered in the first 124 pages, and I did in fact read them all.

So, any advice? I guess I could reflash the ROM, then the kernel update, but that seems crazy compared to the 2 second theme flash that got me to where I am. I just want to undo the stock theme and go back to the default theme.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBurgh:
If you didn't backup prior to flashing theme you will have to wipe and flash rom again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cohiba_man:
Try Emotionless Beast. Trust me, you won't regret it!

The battery icon, as well as all of the other icons are much cooler than stock or even the theme that comes with Frozen. Then you can use whatever launcher and wallpaper you want to get it where you like. MysteryEmotionz did a great job with this theme and it truly is optimized to work well with Frozen.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hojosan:
OK, I went ahead and grabbed Emotionless Beast (both files, to get the SFR update) and I'm running with it. It looks good, although I wish there were some simple way to make my gmail new messages stand out more. In the default app, they were bold and others were regular font, but now I have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the advice--I'll play with this all day, I'm afraid.:)

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshk89:
usually you can just flash the rom again without a wipe and it will replace those files. Havent done it with this rom yet though so do a back up and maybe just clear cache and nothing else.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dulanic:
This

If the only changes were theme related just reflash the ROM without wiping.

Emotionless Beast is AMAZING on Frozen. There are also plenty of transparent/black mods in this form to really round it out nicely.

[Dell Streak 7] jiwengang:
Hey guys,

does anyone install an external class 10 SDHC card on streak 7? does it work well in s7?

I bought mine a week ago, it is from Patroit, 32GB, class 10 sdhc. but since then I noticed some random reboot of the device on daily basis, not too many, but almost once a day... which is annoying enough.

Anyone has similar issue? Is Streak 7's support on class 10 SD card not there or the reboot is due to something else?

I did install some other apps during the past week, but I want to isolate as much as possible to see if the new sdcard has something to do with it.

Will take it out for a day and observe and update here. but if anyone already has similar issues, I will isolate the problem faster.

Thanks!
[Dell Streak 7] Wetzel402:
How did this issue go? I'm interested in running a higher end SD as well.
[Nexus S General] rob77:
Reason im asking is because I recently flashed my phone back to stock after using a custom rom and now I have problems with my mms. I'm in the uk so do I really need the uk firmware?
[Nexus S General] gratti:
I don't think so, mate. I bought my NS in London but I live in Brazil and flashed the phone a couple of times and everything works just fine.

1 thing tho, I remember the seller had to manually config my internet/mms settings cause for some reason it didn't auto config when it putted the O2 chip end he said that it was normal, all droids had this issue.

Here in Brazil I use a APN application (APN Brasil) to config all settings according to my operator (TIM). Maybe you have to do the same.
[Nexus S General] rob77:
Hi gratti thanks for the reply.

All my apn settings are correct and can send and receive mms with no problems. The thing is the incoming ones are always too small making them blurry. It was working fine before so im not sure what might have changed. It was either when I flashed the rom back to stock off of here or it was when I updated to the latest 2.3.3.
[Nexus S General] gratti:
Now that you mentioned I have the same problem! I never care enough cause every time I get a mms is my jackass friends sending pictures of food and drinks while I'm in class or with my gf or something.

Is like you had received just the thumbnail of the picture instead of the picture itself, right? But for me never worked properly when I was in the 2.3.1 or 2.3.2 and it sure don't work now on 2.3.3.

Obviously I dunno e how to fix it.
[Nexus S General] rob77:
yep thats correct mate just the thumbnail. I deffinately had it working before so what im going to do is flash the stock rom again taking me back to 2.3.1 and see how it behaves then
[Nexus S General] rob77:
well just flashed back to 2.3.1 and everything is now working. Going to wait this time for the updates.
[Nexus S General] gratti:
I flashed CM7 RC2 and now it's working alright.

I want to be able to set android to ignore low battery states. No 15% warning and no shutdown on 0%

Is this possible ?

This would make it very easy to use the 2400mah battery.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xlanhackerx:
You could use one of the BETA Kernel with Extended Battery Support..

There you could "use" these type of Battery !

It isnt good to deactivated these secret Warnings because you should know if the Battery would be discharged to 0 % !!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] casemandan:
I whole heartedly agree with you. There is no point of any batteries shutting down at 3.6 volts whether regular or extended. It is a well known fact that our batteries can be safely discharged to 3.3 volts with no ill effects whatsover.

There is no way to discharge the battery to the unsafe level of lower than 3 volts (i believe it is around 2.7v when the safety chip/mechanism kicks in shutting the battery down to prevent damage)

So it would be a great step forward for someone to lower the stupid 3.6v preset shutdown in the kernels and drop it down to 3.3 volts

If anything Arne might be the one to do it... He alone came up with the extended versions of the other kernels here. Wish I knew where to look to lower the phone shuttdown limit.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Visentinel:
Lanhack the cheap extended battery is great if we can have the phone ignore % and we use a voltage widget to understand our power level. The cheap one doesn't report as an extended battery so arnes kernel has no use for these batteries right now. Also it doesn't report % properly and the kernals go to 0% with over 70% still left in the battery no matter what kernel you use.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilemedic20:
Anyone else experience this? I'm currently using CM7, but I've seen this across other ROMS and even when stock. Using Google maps even for a second results in it staying open in the background and chewing up battery (I get warnings from Watchdog). I have to use Watchdog to force close the app to fix the problem. Doesn't seem like this should be happening.

Yes, GPS is off. Location by network is on, so maybe that's to blame?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctinsley:
Yeah I turned network location off too and my battery has improved dramaticly. Maps turns on anytime something requires location services ie location based weather services that what my issue was.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilemedic20:
But I don't have the problem unless I've actively opened Maps... it doesn't spontaneously open. I also kinda want network location to be on as I find it useful...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whethers:
Unfortunately this seems to be a fairly common problem on the dinc. Some people have solved it by downgrading maps to an earlier version. I haven't found any other fixes though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilemedic20:
Oh man that's unfortunate. I have no intention of downgrading Maps, that seems like a ghetto fix. I guess I'll just have to be aware of when I use it and make sure I back out of it afterward. Otherwise, Watchdog does a pretty good job of letting me know when it needs to be closed. Just annoying.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kreichs:
I had a similar problem also, not rooted just stock. I had just upgraded to Maps 5.1 from whatever Maps version came with the phone. I found that Maps would be running in the background using 90% of my battery. My solution... Factory Reset... yeah a little much, but I had just got the phone and didn't really care. My phone was acting up all sorts of ways though, missing apps, missing widgets, so I did a factory reset. Now after that I have downloaded the new version of Maps and everything is fine. Hope you figure it out and don't have to do a Factory Reset.

A jig will get you into download mode as long as your phone is showing some sign of life. If there's no sign of life, it's most likely a boot loader issue and can only be repaired with a jtag at a local repair shop or by sending it to Samsung.

Theres only one firware available for it, its called "I9008ZMJG1" but its with all the chinese **** on it, and no android market and so one =/

the flashtool of the original firmware is Aries v0.1 - and if i try to flash the original firmware its working fine with no problem. I also saw that the structure of the firmware is different from the normal i9000 one.

Is there any chance to flash it? Maybe a force flash somehow, so that he dont care about the factoryfs.rfs or so?
