[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
New to Android, so please forgive a question that may be obvious to those more experienced.

On entering the recovery console, there are four options:

reboot system

reinstall packages

delete all user data

delete cache data

While the first is pretty clear, the others aren't so much. Any greater clarity would be helpful, as well as how these options differ from the user-land

Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset

which, I assume, returns everything except the SD card to as-shipped configuration, yes? I'm also guessing that there are things like usage counters that aren't reset either, yes?

One of the things I want to do before I go hog-wild with new firmware is to at least get a good tar of the stock configuration.

TIA
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
I guess it depends on what you did to your system. if you messed it up and want to get back to a clean stock system, follow krylon360 post top of this second page. get the tar file and odin 1.7 (that's the one that is working mostly for everyone) Shut down your phone. pull the battery out. connect your tether cable to the phone and USB to computer. start oden put tar file in PDA box. don't change any other settings. Put your phone in download mode by pressing both up/down volume buttons and insert the battery. once in download mode, click on Start on oden. wait for it to finish and the phone will reboot when successfull tranfer is complete. give the phone time to boot up and you should be good. note: you need to make sure that the samsung USB drivers are installed in your computer properly for this to work. ( I assume they are if you got this far) Good Luck. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
you'll also have better results if you remove your SD and sim as well.

Well Crap

After reading a lot of the post on this forum, it is clear that I'm an idiot. Since I seem to be the only one who screwed this up. I installed Gingerbread on my Galaxy S 4g. I was successful in that endeavour. However, I went looking for a root and screwed that up. Now my phone just says, "firmware upgrade fail! Try using recovery mode." The problem is that I can't get into recovery mode the same way anymore. I can't get into download mode either. Can anyone offer any help.

You'll have to use an earlier version of Odin, I went through this last night. I used odin 1.0 which I got last year while messing with the wife's vibrant.

SGH-T959V

had any luck in getting it fixed? I am more or less in the same situation. I have a SGH-T959V which I took a Backup using built-in clockwork recovery and it backed up in sd card.

Later I flashed my SGH-T959V with cm-9-20120706-UNOFFICIAL-galaxys4gmtd and i am successful in that. I was able to make and receive calls and do all basic functions. Then I restored with the backup that I took in the first step and it is all over... I am getting just a blank screen and I cant get into recovery mode and nothing comes up..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Sil3nt Pr0digy:
are you getting the screen that says firmware upgrade failure?

Something like this?

If so, don't be fooled, this is simply a flavor of download mode, it functions exactly like download mode.

Use this is get back to stock + root:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1822626

The problem was that CM9 is MTD, and it seems like you tried to recover to a BML rom, which isn't that simple. In order to go MTD -> BML requires using a One Click (technically it doesn't require a one click but one click is the easiest way). I suggest reading a bit more on the SGS4G wiki.
[Galaxy Tab General] uncensy:
z4root doesn't work anymore. I can't use SuperOneClick because Kies won't even recognize my Tab since it's a US version.

My question is: Are there any other ways I can root? Would manually applying the RageAgainstTheCage exploit work? Is there any other method to get me rooted?

This is driving me nuts not being able to do anything with my Tab!

I have the T-Mobile version.

Model / SGH-T849

Baseband / T849-UVJJB

Kernel / 2.6.32.9 may.park[at symbol]SEP-08 #1

S.O.S.! I'm desperately in need of help! :eek:
[Galaxy Tab General] fabricatedhero:
Yah z4 only gave me what im gonna call a half root lol

Superoneclick didn't work cuz keis didnt want to sync so that was a no go.

Try and find one called visionary. Now it wasnt made for our tabs but it applies the rageinthecage exploit so it will work.

It will take a couple of tries and reboots to get it to stick. Im rooted and loving what i can do now.

P.S. - download root checker off market for an easy way to find out if your rooted properly. As always our advice is just that advice... use at own risk
[Galaxy Tab General] matt6x7:
Kies never recognized mine either but superoneclick still worked on my sprint tab. This link should help:

[Galaxy Tab General] uncensy:
Thanks guys, I'll check them out tomorrow and see what happens! Hopefully something works!

@fabricatedhero, do you have a link to visionary? I just wanna get root! It frustrates me to look for things and not find what I'm looking for. :(

To anyone else that reads this in the meantime, don't hesitate to give your suggestions! I'm sure you know how much I'm suffering from staring at stock, and non-advanced apps all day!
[Galaxy Tab General] Digiguest:
Hehehe......
[Galaxy Tab General] uncensy:
^ Yeh, that's so funny. Wtf?
[Galaxy Tab General] Bandage:
Kies does NOT have to connect to your Tab. I have the same model (T-Mobile) and SuperOneClick worked just fine. You just need to install Kies so the Samsung drivers are installed on your PC. Just run it after you've installed Kies, and connected your Tab to the PC via USB once. Good to go after that.
[Galaxy Tab General] jackfrost7:
yeah, as long as you dont get a "failed to install drivers" message when plugging in your galaxy tab, superoneclick should work fine. it has for me twice.

Superoneclick Then Z4root

I did Superoneclick then ran Z4root afterwards and that rooted my tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] uncensy:
I got it to work! I used SuperOneClick like I tried before, but it worked this time! I think it's because I first un-installed then re-installed Kies and went from there. It didn't install the first set of drivers last time, but worked this time. I think it's because my computer installed them a different way the first time I tried, who knows.

Thanks a lot for your help, guys! I'll report back if I have any problems.

Now... what ROM to install? Hmm. Any suggestions?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerestosttas:
Hello

I got one Nexus One with last oficial update.

When I used the audio cable or the bluetooth the sound is OK, but when I use the phone directly on my ear, the sound is too low... Can anyone help???
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
cyanogen ROM has the audio boost which makes a world of difference. you really need to just flash a kernel with the audio hack enabled.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerestosttas:
But is this a normal problem from Nexus One? Or it´s better to send it to warranty?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindfrost82:
Its normal for most of us. I need a ROM/Kernel with the Audio Boost too, but some people say they don't.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scaots:
I have the same issue since I picked mine up when froyo came out. I deal with it since i don't make many calls. If it is too loud to hear a call I just use speaker phone (maybe adjust the volume and hold it backwards up to my ear even). Bluetooth and speaker phone seem fine. However I am considering loading Cyanogenmod 7 once there is a final build.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
You can use the DSP Manager and boost treble, HTC doesn't like bass like nokia ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
its basically normal. just about all HTC phones come with audio that is too low out of the box. the audio boost hack originally made it so loud that over 50% volume would blow out your ear hole. then they lowered it slightly to make it about perfect.

stock volume will always be low and there's nothing you can do about it without installing the kernel with audio boost.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerestosttas:
Many thanks to all!

I will use a cable audio, its the best....

[Nook Color General] cmstlist:
I'm running Nookie Froyo. I've noticed that any time I try to raise the DPI setting above 160 to make the UI easier on the eyes, it completely screws up all my book apps (Nook, Overdrive, Kobo, Amazon). I end up getting pages that are misaligned with the screen, or have text cut off. Is there maybe another setting that I've missed out on changing, that would prevent these alignment problems? I'd really like to be able to run my device at 180 DPI but it's annoying to have to keep switching back to 160 when I want to use it as an actual e-reader.

Aldiko supports adobe drm so it can handle BN books, as well as library books. It should open Kobo as well.

What should I do when I want to flash a ROM that requires the new CWM3, I prefer using 2.5.0.5 personally and was wondering if theres something I can do, or have to updat recovery to flash the ROM
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdb424:
Honestly though, the 3.* series is almost as good as 2.5.* The only issue I've had were some wiping issues with 3.0.0.5 but it's getting better. Why go back when it's better to move forward?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdiman:
There's only a few "edge case" situations when a ROM would require CWM3, and in those cases there's not much you can do to get it to work on CWM2, short of hacking CWM2 with a new kernel and system tools.

That said, you should upgrade to 3.0.0.8 for many, many reasons. See this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970032 for those reasons and tips on upgrading.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
A few questions though

1) I rock SkyRaider3.5 still, will this install with this recovery on a fresh install since the ROM was built pre CWM3. AND if not how can I do a fresh install on these ROMs until they are updated, is their a way to make it CWM3 compatible or no maybe I'm way off?

2) I had skyraider running, updated CMW from 2 to 3, THEN made a backup. this should work fine right?

Impossible to get the Sprint HTC Evo onto the AT&T network. AT&T uses SIM cards, which the Evo does not have.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BonkyMoon:
The evo is not a world phone, it's purely CDMA & WiMax. AT&T uses GSM for voice, which is the world standard. AT&T currently uses some variant of HSPA for data, I believe.

What that boils down to is that no, you can't put an evo on AT&T. The only other major compatible network is Verizon, which also uses CDMA. However, Sprint is the only carrier that uses WiMax for 4G, so you'd be out of luck there.

There's also the thorny issue of CDMA carriers not allowing equipment from competitors activate on their accounts. Some smaller carriers will take devices from other carriers, but I don't really know much about them.

I have a problem with Voice Dial accuracy. I have 150+ entries in my Contacts list, many of which have multiple phone numbers. This is makes the accuracy really iffy.

Is there any way to create a separate call list for the Voice Dial app? I really don't need more than a dozen numbers available for voice dial, and I think that would greatly improve the accuracy when using voice dial.

I'm doing voice dial from a Bluetooth motorcycle helmet, so there is no way for this to work if it requires any interaction with the phone screen.

I guess what I'm looking for is a voice dialing app that has its own, standalone directory.

I'm going to get a nook color and not sure what I'm suppose to do. I've watched a bunch of youtube vids and read around the forums but still a bit confused. I know how to root one but I don't understand how to put a different rom on one. I've put a ton of different ones on my Hero so does it work similarly? I would like to put honeycomb on it would you recommend that or something different? Thanks so much for all the help!
[Nook Color General] pmilford:
Hi,

I have enjoyed trying several different ROMs on my Nook Color. The advantage of

the Nook over many devices is that when the NC boots, it first checks for a bootable

uSD card (external memory card) if this is present, the unit boots from it. So it is much

easier to try several different ROMs or even to run several different ones.

I have been running CyanogenMOD 7 lately (they are still on the Nightly builds level

and haven't made a full release yet) and have been very happy with it.

There are lots of instructions in the developer threads see also:

Some more general information on:

http://nookdevs.com/Portal:NookColor

and a good outline of installing CyanogenMOD7 on the internal memory:

http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=151

It is a little dated (weeks) but very detailed and should hopefully still all work fine.

Because the NC has only one external button, to support CM7 & Froyo, you

will require an application to provide onscreen buttons or to remap the N, Volume

up/down to the Home/back/Menu buttons. There are several, I like Button Savior best

(from the Market)

Good luck, the Nook Color is a fun device!

Peter
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
it's pretty easy. I am coming from a Droid that I auto rooted, but have flashed new ROM"s to it many times.

CyanogenMod works great now! The build 19 is awesome! I suggest to just try some ROM's out. When you go to put one on the internal, use the method stated in CM7's wiki to do it, as it'll install clockworkmod easily.

I have not put a 3.0 rom on here yet, as I heard they're slower and not as fully functional, so I can't comment on that.
