Hello guys..
I would like you to go through XDA new users guide and you must read the FORUM RULES before posting here or anywhere else on xda.
The rate at which the new users are joining xda on daily basis is very high. A lot of users join because they have got some problems with their devices like bricked phone, bootloops etc. because of following incorrect processes. Some join to help out others, to share their knowledge and gain more.
So basically this thread is for all of those who want to ask questions and answer those.
So those who want to help here, just try to answer without flaming, let it be answered thousands of times earlier, show them the path, direction and let them do things on their own. Do not spoon feed, rather just try to point them to right direction.
This whole idea is of @undercover and the former OP Bruce Wayne and I thank him.
To The people asking questions here, don't forget to check for the links from 2nd post. That will help you increase your knowledge, and do answer the questions asked by others if you know the answer. Please don't simply say thanks if some member helps you, instead use the thanks button, that will help us keep this thread less cluttered.

Hey sorry for not replying,
As I am not in scripting, I am completely unaware of such things. I tried hard with the search but couldn't find anything useful. I didn't reply because I was expecting a reply from someone with answer. I saw your thread but it is also unanswered.
You can try asking help from the people in your section working on kernels and shell scripts.
Thanks.

Hi, I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I've got this problem where it freezes upon reaching the "4G" logo on startup. I looked online for answers and someone recommended to "Odin a stock ROM from your PC", and then they posted a link to this site. Now, I have no idea how to Odin, or what a stock ROM is, so could anyone help me out?

Yes.
Welcome to XDA.
Please go to your device's forum using the search your device box from site. type samsung galaxy s2 and choose your device from the options. Look for the stock odin firmwares thread there. Download the one from your region, see the instructions given on flashing there. If you don't understand the instructions, check out youtube videos for that.
Odin is a easy process and just needs instructions to be followed correctly.
And inform us here when you recover your phone again.

So here I am with my question:
I own a samsung galaxy grand

But I am unable to make calls, it says turn off airplane mode, which i did, rebooted and all
here is the weird part:
I CAN receive calls from other phones but cannot make calls because my phone is still in airplane mode even i removed it from airplane mode.
So can anyone help me?

Hi,
Make sure you close samsung kies when you try to use odin.
As for flashing anything from odin, you will need to boot into download mode (vol. Down + power + home) after switching phone off. Then press vol. up, you will see a warning, first and after that comes the downloading screen.
Now make sure drivers are installed correctly, open odin, and now connect phone with usb cable, wait for some time till it shows a yellow box saying COM : ID xxx , something like that and now you can flash relevent files through relevent options. Wait for pass (green) signal and you're done.

That seems crazy, if it shows flight mode, you should also not be able to recieve calls. Seems a problem with the rom. Try wiping cache/dalvick cache /data from cwm/twrp and see if it fixes the bug. If not contact the rom developer or flash another/stock rom and reflash CM 10.1 to see if the problem persists.
Also welcome.

Well, I have gone through your thread. Please can you confirm if it is same result with different firmware? If the problem still persists, please take your phone to service centre. Act as dumb and don't let them know that you have tried rooting. They will get it fixed for you.

Hello....
So i found a guy on craigslist to trade my Droid 2 for the Fasicnate, drove thirfty miles to his house and listend to him freak out for 35 mins as i explained the benifits of my droid 2 and it being rooted and he seriously begain hyperventelating because he was dead straight afraid of being arrested........ I was about to just.... i dont know, the word run came to mind... Anyway.
WHat a beautiful phone, i mean it you guys have got something here, and im glad i added this to my growing list of android device's this is my fifth since my first love The G1.
Anyways,
I presumed and though i could install Cyanogenmod on it that was the immediant reason i got it, i didnt do any reaseachr and now know that u can but it runs really ruff and isnt supported... so.
I modded via this cyanogen wiki
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Samsung_Fascinate:_Rooting
i got all the way to the part about installing rom manager and flashing CWM,
However i went to do this (yes im rooted) and all i get is when i flash cwm and i try to reboot into cwm from rom manager to make a backup is i get to the samsung 2e recovery screen ..
A little more research i see something that i need to install or excuse me i need a program called odin, and i need the cwm packaged via this thread but the CWM package is no longer hosted...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788099
But, one im not completly sure that is what i need to do and two im seein what i think is a bunch of diff versions of baseband like D101 ect However i see on mine that the last of my baseband is Dh12 actually its all s:i500.04 v.dh12
SHould i be downgrading here? And its best to assume while i have rooted and taken the virginity of the G1, Eris, Droid, Droid 2 Droid X and now this beyond what i have described here is my limited experience with this phone.
Also bear in mind that this phone was factory reset when i got it, and was 100% virgin. It is now rooted but that is it. I really wanted to get back to "my roots" like my G1 and have a fully modable phone from kernal on up and was stoked to get this. But im lost and i cant seem to find much help else where, or what appears to be people telling me to reroot and i know that is incorrect.
Can you all point me in the right direction please!
My sincere apprecation and thanks for your help and acceptace of my sporatic typeing.
Don't have a chance to read this atm but before you get flamed..you should post this in the general or Q and A section instead..

Instructions.
First, welcome to the Fascinate forums. Second, please try to faimilariaze yourself with the rules here. This thread should have gone in Q&A and you are quite likely to get flamed for it eventually.
As for your questoin-- We don't have a fully functioning AOSP, CM6, or 7 yet but what we have is pretty close. If you can live without MMS, Camcorder, and BT headset then you should give one them a shot. If not, stick with one of the Touchwiz builds such as Nitro's Evil Fascination or Adrylnalyn's Superclean.
Nitro has linked you to all the necessary software. As for using Odin, please reference this thread.

Nitro always looking out! One of our most valuable members I might add.
I would strongly reccommebd flashing Nitro's Evil Fascination Froyo rom and perhaps one of his themes once you get that far. You won't regret it. Trust me. Super sexy and super fast and he's very friendly and knowledgable. Keeps all his work updated on a regular basis too. Good luck and congrats on your new Fascinate!

Got all the links you could ever ask for from nitro. Just install Odin on your comp and install the Samsung drivers. Then just go to the link for the older cwm and d/l the necessary file.
Remove battery from the phone and while you're holding the volume down.button plug the phone into.your.computer. it'll show a yellow android and say downloading.
Click PDA and choose the file you downloaded for cwm 2.5 and click start. Once it.says pass on Odin you're done.
Even easier, get one of the packagaes from one of these threads it includes adryns froyo rom, the modem for.froyo and the recovery. I don't feel like finding the link but if you get that it's easy its just one big file that you flash with Odin (the same.way you do with cwm) and when its done you got a froyo fascinate with a solid touchwiz rom from adryn

As for the flaming i could care less it shows lack of maturity and what someone wants to bash me for is simply a waste of time. I dont care what some moron in his moms basement who is jumping from tab to tab from porn, to there wow or pokemon fetish and XDA. One would hope because of the intregrity here they would get banned.. Anywho.
And lastly the reason for posting here is because i didnt figure that the forum mentioned was classified for my question because it has nothing to do with "general" and everything to do with "development".. So, my apoligies if i was wrong and ill attempt to look a little better next time.
Thank you.

Hey Mortland,
Welcome to these forums. I am still fairly new here at XDA. Just to clarify and help you understand what everyone was referring to. I believe if I read them correctly, the rules about the Development section say posts and especially new threads in the development section should be limited to things that are directly related to development of a ROM, kernel, or MOD. This is so the development forum is used for improvements to existing ROMs, kernels, or MODS, or development of new ROMS, kernels, or MODS so the developers doing this work do not have to wade through a laundry list of threads or non-development questions in order to get the information they need. So if you have questions about development, or want to report a bug or problem you have discovered with a ROM, kernel, or MOD, then you come here and post. If it is a question on how to install or use a ROM, kernel, or MOD, then I guess it is supposed to go over in the Q&A section. I know it can seem kind of confusing, so the only reason for me posting is to hopefully help clear up any of the confusion. Hope this has helped, and definitely follow nitrogliceryne's advice and help. Good luck.
Mods and devs,
Sorry if this long post has cluttered things up even more. Just trying to help.

Can't we just request that MOD move it to the Q&A section? Especially since some good links were posted there? No sense being a wanker about it, except that it can be fun if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
I know it makes all the "experienced" users feel good to bash every new guy that posts in the Development Thread but something really should have occurred to the community at large by now:
If this is happening something like 15 times per day, maybe the thread title should be renamed to Developers ONLY or Not for Q&A (or something like that)...although I'm kind of guessing that it's an auto-naming thing that they have set up for each new device that gets listed on the forums, so that might not be an option.
Usually I'm not very into getting threads moved when they're placed where they are but this thread is just straight ridiculous. Hyperventilating, seriously?
We need to have some sort of HTML implemented that allows any user to click the button and flag the thread for being moved. Not flagged for being inappropriate or reporting, just flagged for need of being moved to another section.

I tried to install Cyanogenmod 10, but get an assert error status 7
I can't go into Play Store - I get "Error while retrieving information from server [RH-01]"
I also get "Android is upgrading" "Optimising application x of 76" every boot

Why on earth is it the wrong forum ??????
Do you not understand the model range ???

wrong forum since T-Mobile S3(SGH-T999) is a different model entirely from the international S3(i9300).dont be offended,he isnt being rude to you,just telling you to go to the correct forum before you get help from people who didnt notice that yours is a t-mobile model and give you links from this forum and then you brick your device.(like give you a link to the CF Root for i9300).
But mine IS an I9300.
And if I am wrong, wouldn't it be better to point me in the right direction rather than just tell me I'm wrong? How would I learn? My point is that if you can't be bothered to help, don't reply with such a negative post. I had basically screwed my phone, was in a pretty bad place and needed your HELP, not "wrong thread wrong forum wrong model!! Search next time please"
As for searching - spookily I did try try that, both on here and Google, but with nearly 3.5 million posts on here searching isn't the exact science you think it is.
Seems some people come here just to argue I won't be back!
before anything else, breath deeply and then let it out.get some fresh air and have a chill pill.when youve calmed down,try to answer my questions and il try to help you if i can.put yourself on my shoes and try to understand its hard to help a person who is raging.
first,i would need you to confirm that even if your on T-Mobile,you have the i9300 international version as opposed to SGH-T999.
then as what youve said above,things seem to have gotten out of hand and complicated so i have 2 options for you:
1. we can try to fix your whacked system OR
2. if you dont mind,flash stock sammy over again and il help you with rooting and whatever you want after your rooted.
I am perfectly calm thank you - I fixed my phone by staying up all night
LaZyDood, I am grateful that you wish to help, but I am fine now.
I just can't get over the attitude of Ausboy - If that's the mentality of the members on here, I won't ask for help again
(BTW - as I said above, I DO have an I9300 )
good to know you fixed it.have fun trying out all the custom roms and mods.enjoy
Why would anybody think that TMobile is only a USA company .
Why would anybody from the UK have a USA TMobile phone ???
Where has their OP posted he has T-Mobile S3(SGH-T999).
Fact is he posted in the correct forum from the start but got a reply based upon ignorance .

first of all sorry if this is a repeated thread, very new to this site and no offense intended. please point me in the right direction if this is the case.
phone is very unresponsive with either a battery symbol (with circle inside - frozen) or galaxy s2 load up screen with triangle. I have previously rooted the phone with a litening rom through odin v 1.85. i was running a version of ICS on it and this morning i tried to upgrade to jellybean as a forum on this site had said it was possible. firstly in clockwork mod (holding power, vol up and home button) somewhere through the process of putting the file on the phone (instructions said to carry out the process through the clockwork mod) i have made a grave error. If I was able to get the phone to be recognised by the laptop I would be able to flash another stock kernel through odin to at least get me back functional and worry about tweaking later. Currently the phone won't recognise as a drive to the laptop though. Any advice people? Perhaps a suggestion also of a location of stock kernel for australian samsung galaxy s2 (using the virgin network).
That's just a soft brick, don't worry about it .
We got plenty of threads about phone not being recognized by PCs.

Hi (newb alert)
First of all thanks for all the info - followed the pistacchio thread to regenerate phone, that worked great. however, now once the phone is going again, repeatedly getting an overvoltage error message (did not have before) and the battery dying very quickly. I also cannot access the 3G network, but wifi is fine.
Can you recommend a course of action for this, not sure if i have flashed back to a complete stock rom or not, does that mean that the phone is still rooted? I would like to flash another rom if possible, but am not asking what one to use (have seen the rules of the site Sometimes the battery is even flashing . kernel version is 3.0.15-I9100XXLPH-CL118559 and build number is IML74K.XXLPH.
Any more info needed I am happy to provide. I was really happy with the slim ICS rom and would like to stick with that in the jellybean option if possible.
thanks
Go as stock as possible before going custom again.
See if issues persists.
Make sure you flash the right ROM for your device, noticed you're on I9100 ROM and you've only stated you own an "s II" , so, I cannot recommend any specific ROM because of the variants.

I don't know about anyone else, but I stopped reading after this part. I didn't even get to the problem. Remember, you messed up your phone. You need others to assist you. Complaining that other people aren't helping you fix your mistake fast enough isn't going to encourage many people to want to try harder to help you.
Edit: I peaked at teh rest of your post. I think it's a fairly simple fix. But I'm not going to respond to your demanding post that is so overtly negative about this community that has helped so many.
If you reask the question nicely I'll be more than happy to try and assist you.

Well I didn't read your post as thoroughly as I should have before saying I thought I had the correct answer.
I missed where you said you were using an LG Doubleplay. This forum is for the HTC Sensation. These are VERY different devices. What would work for the Sensation may not work for an LG device. I don't want to give you bad information.
You are much better off asking your question in the Doubleplay forums where users familiar with the device will be able to assist you.
there isnt a forum for the double play thanks anyways
wait. i downloaded this file called c279.dll thats 89 mb. can i use this with odin to re flash the phone?
You are flashing the wrong ROM...find one for sensation

Firstly if you try to flash a wrong rom...you risk bricking...specially without backup.. find sensation roms by googling htcsensationroms
The rom you have mentioned is NOT a sensation rom
Dont open the rom you downloaded, connect the phone to ur pc and copy the rom to sd card
Also you need to speciify if you are S-On or S-Off.....
Provide more info abt ur situation (android version, recovery, S-On/Off) ...ill try to help
AND there are some really good devs on these fora...professionals(ask Skipjacks nicely, you should have your problem solved)....but you are going to have to ask NICELY....I'm preety much a noob but can handle rooting a etc
OK...just refreshed this thread...guess youre in the wrong place...look for LG forums...best of luck
sorry, im using the lg double play v 2,3,4 and im hopeless right now.
can anyone help?
No. You are asking this in the wrong place. You are going to get bad advice here that will likely break your phone even worse. Find an lg forum.
And do not use odin to update an lg phone!

First off, I am completely new to the android operating system. Ive used iOS since the day the first iPhone was released and have always been in the jailbreaking scene since day one. I don't know any android lingo, so im not exactly sure what what to seach on this website to help get me out of this situation.
Today I rooted my phone, and installed clockwork mod. Watched a boatload of videos online of all sorts of things you can do with root. After installing CW, i rebooted my phone and it would get stuck small blue letters in the top left of the screen saying something about recovery, then continue to vibrate every few seconds. I was able to get the S3 into download mode and now i have no idea what to do with odin to get it to boot back up. Can anyone direct me to a thread that has a download link to re install the OS on my phone if that's whats needed?
Thanks
is your device i9300 or i9305 ??
