hello

I used Radioswitcher to install a new radio but after restarting the device remains in the splash. that I can do to solve this problem

spl: 1.33.2010

radio: 3.22.20.17

rom: ginger yoshi 1.0 RC 5.2

recovery: Ra 1.0.7H

guys when i press (red + down or red + home or red or only) get the same splash of android out of the white box
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dedraks:
Can you boot to recovery? If yes, try flashing the rom again.

If no. Can you boot into fastboot? If yes (and you have spl s-off) you can restore your device.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jsuarez926:
thanks for answering

The answer to both questions is no, does not leave the splash, I can try something else?

Hi,

This is my very first post (NOT ANYMORE - I posted the same on anther thread, but the thread was related to Nexus One). I am a total newbie regarding smartphones and even more regarding Android. 3 weeks ago I acquired a GT-I5500B (Samsung Galaxy 5). The phone itself is very good and the OS fits well on it. As curious as I am, I started poking around and found lots of good things about android devices like, rooting, flash Custom Roms, Images backups and recovery. Soon I found that was was supposed to be an easy and fun task like applying custom roms and OS upgrades are indeed quite hard to figure out. I give credit to the word 'Hard' to the carriers that like to make things as obscure as possible so for an OS upgrade you should get a new device. Seems that this is the problem with mine (I5500B).

They went so far that they removed the possibility of rebooting in recovery mode just by pressing a buttom combo (Power + Home + Volume Up). The recovery image is there, garanteed. It can be accessed by using 'adb reboot recovery'. The menu is quite simple and doesn't have the Backup, Restore option. Also, as a side note, I'd like to add that I have a feeling that a simple configuration change would make this work because while trying to enter in

recovery mode the screen hangs at the GT-I5500B logo and doesn't go further until I release the phone buttons. It is like if it was trying to find the boot and/or recovery partitions but couldn't...

I was checking up the OS installation on the device. I am somewhat skilled in linux so navigating through the shell was pretty familiar. For my surprise the /boot and /recovery partitions don't show up.

I would love to start playing around with my phone but I have a few questions before I do that.

1) From what I've been reading seems that there is no way I can perform an image backup without flashing a custom recovery image. IS this true ?? Isn't there another way of performing a Full backup before starting flashing things around ??

2) If there's no way to make a full phone backup before flashing, I think the appropriate way to push back the stock OS is by using the ODIN method (Download mode has not been disabled on I5500B), right ?? If so, how can I find the stock rom for my device ??

3) Do you have any idea if I can mount the recovery and boot partitions so I can take a look at their contents ?? Or even backup those partitions to an external drive. How can I find out on what device they are on ?

Any kind of answer, documentation pointing, blog, any new information helps...

Thanks,

SoonS_BR

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadDogMaddux:
Is anyone else getting a lot of error 128 today? I've been getting it a lot, went back to my last verified Nandroid, still getting it. Wondering if it's a Sprint network thing?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] expose11:
Man am I glad to see another 128. I did get this about 12pm central time. I am in St. Louis.

I ended up doing a nand and then wiping cache and dev cache. When it rebooted, 3g came on. I am not back to normal.

BTW, I am running Mik 4.5 with net kernel 4.3.2 cfs-sbc-havs less.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dilucid_rudoff:
I had the same problem, starting around 11am CST. I'm outside of st. louis as well. wiping and nand restore then reflashing the kernel did the trick for me. running rooted 2.2 stock rom with netarchy-toastmod 4.3.1 kernel. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] expose11:
Well, hopefully the OP will reply with his location. I am thinking that we will see more about this in the next few hours if its a St. Louis thing. I know a few others that run Miks rom and are in the St. Louis area.

I kind of don't think its a rooted/rom/kernel issue. diluchid, you and I are on two different roms and kernels so that should eliminate that as a problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadDogMaddux:
Both of you check your PRL.

I just saw that there is a new PRL out, 60676, and updated it. Haven't had 128s in about 15 minutes since I updated.

Lemme know what you find, please

I'm in STL as well!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] expose11:
I updated my profile and prl earlier when I first started having problems. Got nothing. Well, I wonder if when I cleared my caches in recovery if that forced the prl update or something. I now have 60676 and all seems to be working.

FYI when searching the problem I came across a Sprint tech site that listed upcoming updates. It listed an update for St. Louis scheduled for 3/14/2011 at 08:00. Lasting 6 hours and its a software update.

https://www.sprint.net/maint_view.php
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadDogMaddux:
Hrm, I wonder if they switched something prior to the update, a la "oops"?

I texted a buddy of mine who is running an Evo with the same ROM (Warm TwoPointTwo), and he'd had no problems at all today. When I asked, he had 60676.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] expose11:
I bet you are right. I thought the same thing. A la opps. only us "nose to the phone 24/7ers" would notice. I thought it was odd that 4g was giving the same error 128 message. I figured that had nothing to do with the prl. Given that the Wimax has its own keys. I don't really know how all that works though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadDogMaddux:
Actually I've read some stuff that indicates PRL has impact on Wimax too.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonetec:
should be fine now:

Just out of curiosity, where did you find that update. I still don't get much when I google this. Well, except for this thread. LOL.
[Defy General] dave55:
Hi,

Just started with a problem with the defy not ringin out first time and now incoming calls are just as bad with people going to voicemail after they hear nothing for a few seconds no ringing just straight to voicemail.

Then it will ring in and out a few times then play up. The rest of the phones ok

Its a unbranded model all i have done is root and it updated itself to firmware 2.1 update.

seemed to be working great till a day or two ago. Have wiped and rebooted but its just the same.

On Vodafone and the sim works fine in other phones without problem.

Cheers Dave

You may be in poor 2g/3g signal zone.

Just force 2g on your phone and in/out call works fine

Is it worth me flashing a radio iv got great signal coverage good battery my radio is the oct 10 radio first radio out i believe
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Match the Radio to the ROM. Custom ROMs will perform better with their recommended Radios. If your running a stock ROM then there is no need.
[Desire HD General] snowwhite007:
Im using leedroid just everythings runnin smooth so didnt think it wood matter
[Desire HD General] Kjekse:
For me it improved my battery usage ;-)
[Desire HD General] Andy:
If you re-read the ROM post chances are it will mention a recommended Radio.

I'm using the Radio included in the latest Orange UK RUU, 26.05.05.27 It works very well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] B3nGz:
1) Copy and paste (its really irritating that i must memorise number and type manually into notes)

2) Wallpaper background (animated tiles is not enought, the menu screen looks really bored)

3) Customise tiles (i wanna put my own picture on my own tiles! some stock tiles looks really bad)

4) Custom ringtone

5) better video capability and zooming function on my hd7 (the current video function is worst than my 3years old sony ericson phone~)

6) my camera setting keeps going back default. i must switch off my flash and lower down the camera sound manually every time i use it.

7) LED flash light.

8) cheaper apps/games. iphone are selling their games at $0.99, WP7 $10.99 (omfgbbq)

9) Bing is really lousy, i prefer google search...

10) turn by turn navigation with voice direction.

11) Multi-tasking (i know wp7 is capable of multitasking, but wat i want is having the game to resume to its window without reloading another 1 min..)

12) screen capture (i want to show off my screen to my frens!

13) able to off the hot keys below my screen, when ever i play game, my fingers will touch it accidentally then everything in my games will be gone!

thats it for now! =D

don't u guys use it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekki:
1/. Coming in NoDo, whenever the hell that is. Well documented, read about it.

2/. Do you stare at your phone? I never understood this

3/. People work hard to make their tiles. It's actually up to them to give that option anyway, not MS. Case in point, Pin to Start.

4/. While you can't do it without dev-unlocking, can be done easily with TouchXplorer

5/.Agreed, but that's not MS's fault either. Blame OEMs

6/. Apparently it's a feature, an annoying one, but a feature none-the-less.

7/. The HD7 has dual LED flashlights.

8/. What game is $10.99?

9/. Bing search is more accurate than Google search because it uses Google search and other algorithims.

10/. A to B

11/. Mango update whenever that is. Also well documented.

12/. Whenever that app happens, it happens. Maybe you can code it for us?

13/. Don't get so excited while playing games!

Not sure, but apps are definitely more expensive on wp7 compared to Android/iOS. Even the same exact app. Hopefully this will change when there is more competition.

[Windows Phone 7 General] The Jones:
I so know what you mean about points 11 and 13. Games are so slow to load and have terrible resume function. If I get an email when playing a game, I dare not try and read it until I am finished gaming. So annoying.

The rest for me is not so important though I just dont get the custom ringtone thing.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Perlnx:
5.I think MS can do that since WP7 are take control everything in the hardware..

ex. Battery charger.. you can't charge WP7 device if the OS is not running right ?

10.A to B using Bing map for navigation, and it useless when you live in other country. (I live in Thailand and Bing map is many suck for sure.)

11.It must wait too long since wee see they made it already.

12.With no multitasking, It's useless to release the screen capture app because we can't run this app in the background and use shortcut to make it capture right ?

(With this thing, I will already said we have wait too long.)

13.Why ? we have playing game for... ?? Entertainment right.... ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekki:
Where do you live that A to B isn't good enough?

And you have a HTC phone right? Get the damn flashlight app. It's pinned to my start screen so I can see where my dogs **** at night!!!

Are you in America? Because in America, there are no games for $10.99. Not one.

If you're in Australia or somewhere else, I can't speak for you, but where I live and where it is automatically assumed you are from unless you state so on this forum, is America.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekki:
A to B does not use Bing maps dude. I used A to B successfully in Germany when Bing Maps wouldn't work.

MS have minimum specs for hardware specs. The quality of the sensor is up to the OEM. MS can't do a damn thing about that without pissing off the OEM.

Saying we play games for entertainment isn't an excuse. That's like button-mashing on a console game and saying I was too excited so skill went out the door. Using the game controls while excited is also a skill.

[Windows Phone 7 General] ninareflex:
RE

tethering ???
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Excellent list of wants! You won't get 'em. :( Well...at least not all of them...for a very long time. You'll likely be tired of your WP7 device long before you see the majority of those items and be looking at moving on to something new.

But hey! If you do hang on long enough, you'll get the majority of them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] binxer:
Damn, it seems like you would settle for anything microsoft gave you, and then just make up excuses even if some of these things actually would make the OS better.

2. I don't see the problem with letting someone change the background. Both iOS and Android have this function.

3. It's interesting that he mentioned that some of the stock tiles look bad. Today, I showed my friend (who's a girl) a windows phone for the first time, and her immediate reaction was that the tiles were ugly. Unfortunately, like iOS, I doubt this function will come anytime soon without "unlocking" the phone.

6. I just have to say, that this so-called feature is really annoying. I really hope they change it. Or allow us to turn it off.

8. While I don't think most games are 10.99, I believe he was making a point (and a correct one) that prices in general are much higher compared to iOS and Android. Fortunately, prices should slowly decrease once the app number increases, more developers creating games with increasing quality, and with more people realizing how refreshing WP7 is.

9. Honestly, I don't have much experience comparing Bing and Google search, but even iOS lets you change their search engines (Bing, Google and Yahoo). I'm not sure if you can on Android... anyone know?

10. Do you really not want turn-by-turn gps? Or voice directions? Those were the things I LOVED about Android. Google maps is genius. Bing maps is good, but it could be so better if it has these functions. Oh, and allow voice searching for maps. (Edit: I actually tried A-to-B... that application is pretty bad. It's slow and looks pretty unprofessional. But hey, it's free)

13. I'm really surprised more people in general don't want physical buttons. I'm a big fan of the single, depressed button that Apple uses. It allows the phone to stay flat and still not by hypersensitive to accidental brushes of the finger. I'd like to think that older people (maybe >40 years old) would be more receptive to these new OSs if more phones had physical buttons (not necessary just one). But that's just me hypothesizing.

Hi

I need some help, with our work phones, we use the samsung intercept phones for work, when we got the phones it came with v2.1 and everything was working fine, but it just so happened that a couple of days later sprint released OTA for 2.2 came out and we are having issues with our exchange email. the email works the problem is when we receive emails that are sent from our as400 client or efax the emails get renamed. but not anything else. what i mean is say the attachent is called dog.pdf when it gets to the phone the attachemnt looks like this <dog.pdf>.pdf and the phone will not open the attachment. that only happens when the attachments come from our as400 or efaxes, we have other phones like the evo and the hero and they work fine. any ideas? please help its beggining to be a big issue

Good thing you didn't use the included "squeegee". I have the Bodyguardz dry type screen protector (screen only, not full protection). I applied it per the instructions using the included squeegee, and got 2 long scratches on the protector. Pretty sure the squeegee had some sharp protrusions on it that caused the scratches. They aren't too bad, and I can live with them. But next time I will use something else, or cover the squeegee with the microfiber cloth as i press the screen protector on (which I have read another user on these forums recommend).

Aside from that, I am overall satisfied with the Bodyguardz screen protector. The surface felt a bit tacky or sticky when sliding my fingers over it. But that seems to have mostly gone away after a couple weeks. As the OP mentioned, they are a bit prone to showing fingerprints, but not as bad a cheaper screen protectors. It adheres well with no air bubbles after careful application.

Good review, BTW. Thanks for taking the time to write it and post the pics.

[Desire HD General] Andy:
If your rooted with S-OFF, chances are it will fail when you try to install it.

It's probably the update to 1.84. If you look in the Dev section the RUU has been posted there.

If your considering installing a custom ROM in the near future then I wouldn't bother. It patches the exploit used to gain root, and you will then have to downgrade to root.

All the Sense based custom ROMs are based on this latest version.
