I bought Samsung Galaxy Ace for my daughter and installed custom rom, everything was fine, worked so fast and smooth.
She was using Facebook when phone/screen became unresponsive. No matter what, reboot/battery remove, its still not responding.
Something like that happened when I took phone first time from box and started registration and etc. But it happened few seconds only. During the rooting, then flashing custom rom everything was fine.
Now, I am trying reboot and once it was responsive but then still stack.
The other problem is this phone I bought from 3 Network UK and now I can't find any stock rom for it. I was searching several hours for it, no luck. I want to return it to store but I am afraid if I'm not install 3 UK stock rom they will not take it back.
Please, if you have same experience about screen unresponsiveness, or have know where I can get 3 Network UK stock rom 2.3.6 version will be great.

I am also new to these modifications and stuff. However, just like any thing with processors, for me I think it would be about the ram and stuff. You need to free up some space I guess for you to get the phone running good again.
If this helps, check this thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427612
It is already included in most custom roms.
I know you already know this, but if for some reason, you may need more info. Check this out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
I hope this helps though.
Thanks for quick response jangs_momoi!
I tried first link and installed it. Also I tried several custom roms but no luck. The screen is still unresponsive, other buttons works, I meant phone is working not freeze but screen is not.
Even if I try flash stock rom, it doesn't helps because I need 3 network stock rom not european one.

I really hope someone is able to give you a link to get that stock rom you need. I believe the screen is really the problem.
Thank you very much for you help. Yes, I hope someone will know link for stock rom, I still searching for it but nothing yet.
Have a nice day.
You have a nice day too.

Hey everyone. I have a friend who has been attempting to root and install roms on his i777 device for a while now and every time it seems like something else gets screwy. I have an HTC so I know little about the process of working on his Samsung device, I thought it would be about the same but it seems way more complicated... Anyway I think all his problems started with a bad ROM he installed unknowingly when he first attempted to root his phone. And since then he has went to ICS then back to Gingerbread and it keeps getting more crazy. He has tried to do a factory reset on it but it fails half way through now so it wont even let him pull that off.
So my two questions are:
1) What is the best way to get this phone completely cleared up?
2) And what is a good/dependable Gingerbread ROM for this device?
I did a bit of digging on ROMs and found several in the "AT&T Samsung Galaxy SII i777 Index" thread. But since I dont have this device I cant try any of them out for him, and like I said early I know little on Samsung devices.
Thanks for any help!

1) Full wipe in CWM.
2) No one uses Gingerbread ROMS anymore (for the most part). As a matter of a fact we'll be getting Jellybean soon! Stick to an ICS rom, I recommend either AOKP or CM9.
EDIT: If he wants more of a stock feel, try out Mystics Glory.
Ok. Number one, if he wiped with the stock ics kernel installed, there's a chance he messed up his phone. The stock ics kernel had a severe bug in it. Number two, after he's no longer in ics stock kernel , do a full wipe including system, data, cache, dalvik, and run kernel cleaning script. Thirdly, there are a number of roms out there. Tell him to try them and see which one fits.

I thought about doing all the wipes as well. I wasnt sure if they would work or not though because he cant backup and the factory restore isnt working. I told him to try it through CWM and recovery apparently neither are working well.
And he doesnt want ICS anymore because they changed how the phone connects with tether. With Gingerbread he just had to freeze Tethering Manager to get it to work in ICS Tethering Manager doesnt exist anymore so the same process doesnt work.
However Im sure he would like an ICS ROM if it unlocked tethering for him. The illuminati ROM on my Vivid unlocked the tethering for me, is there something similar for the i777?

In AOKP you can tether with no issues(it also unlocks it). As far as the other stuff, if he did a full wipe like the post above said, with stock recovery. His phone may be messed up
Alright thanks for the help. I'll see if we can get anywhere this afternoon with AOKP. I'll be back after we see where that gets us! lol
Ok I hate starting a new thread but I have a problem that I can not seem to find any information on it,
I have had my S2 for 1.5 years and have run many many custom roms. Been using Paranoid lately. Today I tried flashing the newest Wanam Lite as my second rom keeping Paranoid as primary. (using dorimanx kernel)
Wanam failed to install. After boot the screen goes black. No problem... I will just go back to my Primary rom. Tried, Tested and True, Paranoid Android.
What's this? My phone is asking for SIM unlock code. I unlocked this phone 1 and a half years ago. Ok so I unlock it the same way i had done in the past for my S2 and many friends S2. I installed "Galaxy S Unlock" from the market and ran it. Ok phone is unlocked and I can use it like normal, as I have network signal.
But as soon as I reboot it is locked again. So now I have to unlock the SIM every time I reboot my phone.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
This is what I have tried so far.
- reinstalled ROM
- wiped dalvic
- wiped data
- wiped cache
- fixed permissions
Nothing I try solves the problem. Every time I reboot I lose my sim unlock.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
anyone have any insight into this??
has this happened to anyone else?

First of all , use the following to unlock your phone, if it works for you that would be gud otherwise flash the rom again (Fresh Install)
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21618136/GalaxSimUnlock.apk
You cannot dual boot Leaked JB based roms as of yet ..
Exatley same things happend with me at this afternoon. My sgs 2 was unlocked nearly a year ago, and I'v been tryed a new "leaked - out" rom which I've found on the Sammobile forum. I9100XXLSJ - Offical, beta... or alpha.. dunno, but 4.1.2
Few minutes later I also tried an another rom... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037363 XXLSJ tweeked by Alliance.
I've wiped everything before every install, and I'm not sure where I've lost my "unlocked" status... Lol.. First time I was thinking its a PIN code only. Obviously I never seen this before. In the last few year I installed, and tried many roms without any issue. Mostly Darky's, CM 7-9.
But long story short: your tool solved my problem under a minute. Thank you so much MR.Killer
Ps: maybe I also tried a CM10 nighty build today.. I cant bear in my mind everything

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. This app solved my problem with the sim unlock. Saw it on the market but it wanted me to pay
I didn't know that the leaked JB could not be dual booted. That would explain the black screen. I think I will back up my primary to SD and try installing that rom again. Does this work on any kernel or just the one it is supplied with?
Anyways. Thanks again. You solved my BIG problem.

only 'Philz' kernel does support the leaked Jb rom or one based on it for know
The app is free to use if you get it from Spockys thread.
I believe you have to pay if you get it through play store.
Hello first of all I would like to thank all the great developers for the great ROMs out there.
Second I would like to warn everyone that this is a "first world problem rant" that I'm about to write up with a legit frustration I have.
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 from ATT and the only reason I got this phone over any other Android phone is the great camera and the screen.
I absolutely hate TouchWiz. It's bloated, slow and painfully ugly (to me). For this reason I decided to try out Flashing roms.
For the last couple of weeks (months maybe?) I have been using Cyanogenmod 10.1 stable with not many problems. Mostly camera issues but no biggie.
My frustration is the following: CyanogenMod has had two stable updates for my phone to go from 10.1 to 10.2 and, though it flashes perfectly, every time I reboot the phone the phone gets stuck on the "Samsung Custom (lock)" screen and I am forced to go into TWRP and reflash 10.1+Gapp from my SD carfd.. This happens EVERY TIME. With CM10.1 I can restart the phone just fine by the way. It's 10.2 and other Roms that make get stuck on the Samsung Custom (lock) screen.
So i decided to try out Gummy ROM because Kit Kat
I put the ROM in my SD card, Formated, Wiped and Installed. Worked like a charm until the camera wasnt working that well. I read the forums and said to restart to fix the camera.. Guess what?...AGAIN....Stuck on Samsung Custom (lock) screen.
My frustrations is that pretty much EVERY Rom that I have tried minus CM10.1 has done this to me and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
I have tried battery pulls, waiting 30 seconds, wiped dalvik, cache, etc. Fixed Permissions....everything and I have to reflash the ROMs almost 99% of the time unless I use CM10.1. I am tired of reading forums to fix this so here I am asking for your help.
/endrant
I have no idea what else to do so any help would be great.
INFO:
Current ROM: Gummy 1.1-11-21-13-UNOFFICIAL
Android 4.4
Baseband version
I3377UCUAMDL
Kernel Version
3.4 g0-Elite-Kernel-ga719cb
Build Number:

TWRP Version
I have no idea and I'm not about to restart phone and go through the pain of reflashing the ROM again as I just did. I will punch so many babies if I have to do this again!'
Thanks for listening.
First, if you have an ATT phone then you should be posting there. Have you tried hitting the home button and waiting a few seconds? If you're flashing Verizon stuff to an ATT phone that could also be causing issues.

Oh man! So sorry, just realized this was a Verizon Forum, I got a bit lost in the tabs and thought this was the General forum for Samsung Galaxy S4.
And I have installed mainly ATT ROMs in my phone and usually stable ROMs as well.
Do you think it's TWRP causing the problem?

It could be. There have been people that get weird issues with twrp so you may want to test out a different recovery to see if the issue persists.

Hi,
Firstly thanks for time and sorry if this is a noob question but I only have a fairly small amount of experience regarding custom roms.
Here goes...
I have changed the rom on my phone about 5 times over the last couple of years and never had a problem. I have the latest version of teamwin and I'm currently running Android Revolution HD 50.0 by mike1986. This rom works great as have all the other I have used in the past ie Cyanogenmod, Omega etc but the problem I am having is over the last 4 months I am completely losing network and even if I try to search for a mobile operator my phone can't find any unless I run a full power cycle.
I have been reading as much online mainly xda-developers to find a solution to this problem but I'm afraid I'm now just running into a brick wall. I understand this could just be a hardware fault but I have read somewhere that I may have the wrong modem installed for my phone.
How likely is this? Can having the wrong modem cause intermittent problems? Also if this is the case where the I find a tutorial on correcting this issue. Plus which modem should I be using in the UK?
Again thanks for you time and any help would be much appreciated.
Mike
Do a full wipe and flash the latest stock firmware for your country, then factory reset.
Test fully before you install or restore anything. If it is still the same then probably hardware.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
ok, Will do. I am just waiting for the UK stock firmware to download. I left it downloading while I was out this afternoon and for some reason it failed and now is asking me to wait an hour before retrying
I'll let you know if this solves my problem.
Thanks
ok..
I managed to get hold of the stock firmware from another site. I first installed a version of ICS so I could run triangle away properly after rooting with CF auto root as without doing this I couldn't reset my binary counter even after flashing stock recovery. Then I installed the latest version of JB and ran the official Samsung update to get my phone up to the very latest Official software with device status official.
So now my phone is completely back to if it just came out of the box. I finished late last night and installed nothing but WhatsApp. Then at about 3pm today again I completely lost network and couldn't restore in without a full power cycle. Even searching for Network operators in settings couldn't restore the connection. I can't think of anything else to try.
Any ideas what to try next please?
P.S. The firmware I installed is as far as I can tell for my location. I'm in the U.K. and I'm using the stock BTU version on baseband version I9300XXUGMK6
the same i9300 problem

This is exactly the issue I have now - I can get some signal, but can't get anything in terms of using 3G/Mobile data :/
Edit: They do keep coming!
I looked into doing it, and there is no way in hell that I should be a) doing it, and b) unleashing it onto the world. It would be bad.
I only have the one phone to test it on and can't risk messing it up and I don't have the experience to work on it if it didn't come out perfectly.
I expect that it will be the last Sprint ROM released for this phone, We're nearing the end of support, so it would be good to have these final versions "fixed" and available
...on the off chance a few developers will jump right in and cook up a few mega ROMs for us.
DQG1 Root and Xposed (rewritten)
On a related note, I installed stock DQA1 DQG1, using the usual CF Autoroot, battery pull thingy process Odin for the ROM and TWRP, then booting once, booting into recovery, and then installing SuperSU and it rooted fine. No loss of settings or anything else as far as I can tell.
I did have to install the latest versions of the Xposed files. After rooting and custom recovery (TWRP works fine), install XposedInstaller_3.1.4.apk first like any other apk, then go to recovery and install Wanam v87.1-alt-sdk23-arm-custom-build, but everything (Xprivacy, etc.) worked fine. Keep in mind, you HAVE to use the "alt" (see the "alt" in the file name above?) version or else it won't work. Samsung made some changes, blah, blah, blah. Much thanks to Wanam!
New side note: I did do a factory wipe, and even after reinstalling everything, and using a ROM that contains bloatware, I still have like 40% more space on the phone. I truly don't know what happened there.
Anyone have any thoughts as to kernel? I downloaded Emotion r26 RC1, and BeastModeKernel 1.0BETA, but I haven't tried them yet.
EDIT: Emotion r26 RC1 works fine, but it doesn't seem like CPU freqs are ever going to stick.
No surprise that neither Emotion nor BeastModeKernel worked; I haven't seen anything else that may.
Thoughts anyone?
Both kernels are good, emotion has a few more options to tweak but I took an update a month or two ago and run NotEdge ROM fine , I just use SO launcher with it because I like TW, also latest xposed is 86.1 and I wish I could do what your asking but it probably would be just as bad you'll be fine with that ROM I just suggested it has everything u just requested just make a nandroid and do it at home in case you do something wrong you can always ODIN back your firmware

Do you guys have a link to the stock unrooted rom? My phone is royally screwed right now and still stock. I want to do a clean flash and see if that fixes it.
Over a year later, and the still keep coming.
Hmmmm.
I did take another gander around, but it seems that I would need Linux to do it correctly, so I am still opting out of doing it myself.

Hello i got a note 4 Sprint MM 6.0.1 N910PVPU5DQI5 . i am from Argentina, and i bought the phone used from a guy from USA. (i don`t know how but it`s working with the bands here but i dont know if 4g is working, the guy says it works, maybe i don`t have 4g singal in my zone) .
the phone works fine, but has some srpint stuff and ads that bother me. so i flashed TWRP , and now i am looking for any roms and kernels to flash.
for example, is safe to flash this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/development/rom-updated-1-14-2017-t3538051
or should i change something first ???.
