Hi, I am trying to use Abd to do the stalling fix that Modaco Paul Obrien Provided, however (if im not mistaken) there arent any steps to making adb recognize your phone.
what should we press before doing this?
Enter the following commands in adb on your PC with your device attached (rooted, with USB debugging enabled):
CODE
adb shell
su
cp -rp /data/data /dbdata
mv /data/data /data/data.bak
ln -s /dbdata/data /data/data
reboot
I have showing in command promp before doing anything:
C:\Users\Eric>
Please someone get back to me. if this was posted, I aplogize.. you can delete it (if possibly) after im helped hopefully. I wonder why instructions don't clearly state the steps to avoid questions. There are 1 million threads and hard to search.
Fyi I've installed all the drivers and things for my device. I just need to know the next steps.

this will move your data to the sdcard on an ext2/3 partition... this is what I am using now and it flies... hope this helps
if you dont want to do it that way, you are missing the script to mount as rw... dont know it off the top of my head...

Hey thanks for replying. My sd card has avatar on it. I don't want to partition it and lose it.. I mean I could but the last time I partitioned the sd, my phone was blank. Maybe that's because when I flashed clockworks recovery it sent the backedup Rom to my sd car and not the internal memory?

Dont take this the wrong way, but what you are trying is extremely experimental, and I would not recommend it to you. You will end up frustrated later waiting for more advice, as you dont seem to have any experience w/ ADB. Maybe research ADB a bit, play around w/ it, and then possibly try this again.
I dont mean to discourage you, but this type of mod/hack is somewhat advanced, and may require some troubleshooting to get it working properly. You should also know EXACTLY how to undo what you are attempting to do before you go through with it, which is generally a good idea for these type of mods, as you may undo it soon
Thanks a lot. And u right. I'm about to unroot and wait for 2.2 because these developers know there are new people to this and it wouldnt hurt to go into a little more detail. I used Amonras Recovery method on my nexus and didn't have to go through all this download moad stuff and Odin etc. Its not that easy when people get annoyed by questions lol but thanks a lot though.

Search ADB for dummies on the forum, there are a few threads that will be very helpful. They'll give you a general idea of what you're doing with ADB. Sorry, but we're not here to spoon feed you. If you want to mod the phone, learn how to do it.

To be fair, this is the development forum. It's for developers to talk to other developers. We are generally willing to help people out, but do try to make sure you know the basics as much of what we do here is very experimental, and it may well not work right for everyone. As such, it's not really for general consumption. When we think our stuff is ready, we will make a thread in the general forum.
As for partitioning, just copy avatar somewhere else first. Or get a new card to experiment with. They are cheap and the stock one is small and slow.
Note that the comments thing is a double edged sword, we have lost developers to posts like yours. Keep in mind that people are giving their free time to give the community these roms, hacks, and apps, for free. They don't owe you or anyone else anything.

As I stated earlier, we are not telling you how to do it EXACTLY because we do not recommend this for you. You are free to go research and do it anyways, but you've been warned. There will be builds out soon that make everything much easier, but until then, I recommend waiting...
Just a clarification....donations are made to devs (and anyone) without any consideration of something in return.
for example, I sent a donation to @wesgarner the moment he started considering working on CM6 for the vibrant. I am not "owed" anything from him, and he can use the donation as he wishes, although I hope he used it towards something android related.
There is a huge difference between what you said regarding donations, and how I put it. I'm sure some developers get annoyed when people expect things after donating. Its not a purchase, its a donation to a cause
Did you guys know that NO FLAMING is an XDA rule??
@OP First you should make sure you've installed the android sdk properly by visiting developers.android.com
Before you write any command in a CMD window you should specify where your android sdk is by writing
> cd C:\android-sdk_r06-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools (just using this SDK as an example, you may be using the 2.1 SDK)
You can also read up on ADB by visiting this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010

While you are of course welcome to disagree, I thought the thread had been quite civil. I'm out though, the op said they want to wait a bit.
This might come in handy:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
The thing most people miss is they don't add the path to the sdk so the adb command only works from the tools directory. To make it work everywhere, you need to: Right-click on My Computer, and select Properties. Under the Advanced tab, hit the Environment Variables button, and in the dialog that comes up, double-click on Path (under System Variables). At the end of the PATH, make sure there is a semicolon separating the last entry from the one you are about to type, which will be the location of the android sdk tools directory (for me it's C:\android-sdk-windows\tools). Once that's in your PATH, click ok, ok, then apply, reboot and you can
Code:
adb shell
from any directory. Of course, anyone without at least a little experience with command-line interfaces will be at a disadvantage; there's definitely a learning curve.
Ok, here is my super quick summary but you would get better help in the general forum. Most of the answers are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728809
These are the instructions if you are in windows 7, it's probably the same for whatever version you're on.
If you have installed ADB correctly and the samsung drivers you should have the files located somewhere like C:\android-sdk-windows. You should also have usb debugging enabled on the phone (settings->applications->development) and the phone plugged in. Open the tools folder since that's where the ADB executable is. In that folder hold down shift and right click on a white part of the screen between files. You should see "Open Command Window Here". If not, click the start button and select run. Type CMD and press enter. In the command prompt type "cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" and press enter. Fill that in with whatever your path is. When you are in the correct folder you can now run adb commands in the command prompt. To test that your device is ready to work with ADB and everything is installed correctly just type "adb devices" and you should see some numbers and letters. If you don't see it list your device, something isn't setup correctly.

First thing you'll want to do is head over to the developer section and read the stickies and the instructions, familiarize yourself with Android and with ADB (I don't recommend 1-step-rooting). Make sure you're careful in what you're doing as deviation from the SOP may cause your new Thunderbolt to be as usefull as a rock. I promise you, if you take the time to read everything that's involved, the learning curve isn't as steep.
Im preety familiar with the whole android thing.. but is there a step in particular so i can root it in one shot.. can you email me please.. [email protected]

Havu watched YouTube video
inc
Is there any in specific??
I bought the TBolt on release date. I rooted it the day the exploit came out. I followed the directions as a total newbie to Android (albeit not to *IX).
I knew my way around a command prompt and a debugger (gdb), and I didn't copy/paste the commands because I'm OCD.
Nevertheless, having known nothing about android nor about "rooting" my phone, I found that everything I needed -- all the knowledge to complete the task -- was found right here on XDA. The directions to manually root your phone are so simple, really, that I could probablly teach a 10 year old to do it!
So I suggest just reading up, not try to take shortcuts, and ask questions that are relevant and not "sendz me a 1click rootz plzkthx".
You better just read up. What if you mess something up? Are you really going to get on here and wait for someone to fix it? Learn rather than ask for answers spoon fed to you.
ok ok.. let see if u guy can help me with this... i got the adb drive thing.. i did everything step by step and wen i go to the cmd and change directory it kicks me back to my users name.. i can give the link to the viedeo were im getting it from maybe u can help me..

why did you make another post with the same question as your last post. Why do you even need to root your phone? What do you hope to do once rooted? Spam the themes app section with more stupid posts? Honestly just be happy with the stock device, judging by the way you talk, refuse to search for any information yourself, and repeatedly beg for help, you are not ready to root. You are going to be the same guy spamming the dev boards for help after you have bricked your device due to lack of following directions. Its not a hard process, I only got into android last october and I have successfully rooted my Dinc, Nook Color( which was a beast flashing and whatnot in the early days when you had to dd a image, lol) an aria and my bolt. I never bricked anything, and I never felt the need to make a useless lazy post begging for help. The answers aare all here, stop being a lazy **** and READ. I am so tired of seeing total idiots on here needing help with root. If you cant be bothered to just follow directions, chances are you are going to screw something up. people like you are pretty much destroying XDA

Get an iPhone and give the Thunderbolt to someone who knows what they are doing and can form a sentence correctly. Then we don't need to go through with this.
ahh cut him some slack, i always encourage anyone, no matter what, to root their device and take control of what they paid for back from the carriers.
anyway just read the tutorials, it will be tested and safe, and just follow step by step.
also i pissed myself about dropping bombs on his phone!!
Ok i got recomended this forum if i need help. And im doing exactly that.. if you guy cant help me why even write stupid and noncense shi*. I didnt ask for no ones opinion. And i did got the iphone first but i was more familiar with the adroid. I've done read everything and i actually tried it last night. And the i had a problem with the ADB. And i rooted my intercept it was my last phone. So if you guys can direct me to another way other then that ADB I WOULD APRECIATED.

no...just no.... omg dude are you twelve, lol. You need to use ADB. Period. stop whining because you can't figure it out and if you do not find xda helpful, there is a little red x in the corner of your browser. Click it, I am sure xda will not miss you.
Wow you mad..lol i guess is not the adb im having problems with.. wen i put in the commands in the cmd it sends me back to my username.. thats my problem. And why do you guys keep insulting me, im just asking questions..
Ok lets start with the basics first. Do you have ADB installed? You say youre not new to the "whole Android" thing, so im gonna go out on a limb and assume that you know what ADB means. If not I suggest you GOOGLE it and find out what it means and then, download ADB and install it. Second off if your using Windows you need to know if youre on a 32bit or 64bit OS, OR if youre on linux you need to figure out what distro you have and install in through terminal (nemesis2all has a step by step thread on how to) GOOGLE will be youre savior.
Next after you install your ADB drivers you need head over to the Android Development section and look at the S-off/ Permaroot thread and read it step by step. Of course you need to check to make sure ADB is working correctly which you should have already done ie..
TYPE: adb devices
-list devices attached-
Follow the steps that are listed to a tee and dont try to skip anything.
There is a Thunderbolt fossnet channel where you can ask for help.
Your brother in law who has an EVO used a program called Unrev0ked3 which is a plug and click program that does all the work for you. With the thunderbolt, its all done manually, even the "one click" methods still require ADB use. In all honesty if you dont know ADB please leave youre phone alone. There are lots of great people on here as well as in IRC that will help but if youre going to be stupid and say you know things then come back 2 min later asking the same questions you won't recieve much if any help.
Do some research on rooting the Thunderbolt before jumping in, this phone is still very young in its developing stages and if you mess up it requires manual fixing.
PS: I apologize for the improper grammar, my girlfriend is waiting for me to come join her so I'm in a rush to get this typed.
very well said mr. obvious (lol hard to say that without sounding sarcastic...nice!)
just to add one thing, i used s/off permaroot method with very very very little adb knowledge and worked fine...just follow the steps exactly and instead of typing you can copy and paste each command one by one...makes easier and faster.
good luck

Hi,
I use the following quick method. Using Root Explorer (or something similar) and the Terminal app from the Market, move the .ko files to /data/local/modules and then in Terminal issue the following commands:
su
insmod /data/local/modules/xxxx.ko
where xxxx is what .ko module you've chosen and repeat the insmod for each module.
That should be it.
Cheers,

I asked this question too here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1303384
But I am new and not sure my question was understood... don't need help with the actual installation... just want to understand the list of modules...looks like 4 being described in the change log...but there are about 16 .ko files... not exactly a 1 21 relationship, so I assume the other files don't even work (work in progress maybe) as there no mention of their extra functionality. For example, I extract lib-2.6.36.4/lib/modules and there is a dhd.ko file at the root of the directory. I have no idea what its for, nor any of the files in at the root of /2.6.36.4-cyanogenmod+. Those are not .ko files. Is one of them perhaps a Unix file type that is equivalent to a man page or a read me file that I can open and discusses the use of the content in /kernel? If I don't need to know what these are, and they are not to be moved to the tab for installation....why include them at all? Why not just zip up the 4/5 .ko files? My curiosity is going to get me cussed out.....lol. I've read the general and Q&A forums from the last 60 days and not found a lot on this... not much in the dev forums either besides the instructions on how to install a module file (.ko) Thanks gang!

I'm going to be brutally honest, and say the best person to ask is the packager, AKA pershoot. Personally, the majority of what I've needed out of the .tar.gz has been pretty self-explanatory - the stuff that isn't obvious I've left alone and not had any difficulties.
Curiousity in these situations is definitely a good thing, and not to be frowned upon on a developer's forum; but I think the only person who can answer the exact whys and wherefores is pershoot. in this case.
Thanks friend, I've got 22 years in IT as sys admin/service delivery co-ordinator/infrastructure owner, and those are just the checks that go into the boxes. I could not "load this into production" with the info provided for the change. I can't post in pershoot forum yet... so I thought Q &A might do the trick, but couple more posts and I'll will take your advice.
I don't know how well you know your way around Android, but answering a couple of questions if you can is a good way to get enough to ask in the dev forum whilst helping others.
pershoot is on the droid-basement blog which might have a email address if getting a direct response is really important to your deployment strategy. With your years of experience, I'm not advocating such a outright tactic, but he is pretty forthcoming as far as I've seen. Otherwise, helping and waiting out to get on the dev forum will be your best bet.

Basic Knowledge:
I have been getting questions regarding unlocking and rooting a lot and I keep refering people to Binary's page he has made and spend a lot of time making. In Order to root you need to the the following in THIS order:
1. Unlock bootloader (For mac and linux go to this thread its for the rezound, but is exactly the same for the amaze. For pc go here)
2. Put Custom recovery on your phone (for mac, pc and linux look below on post #2)
3. Root your phone, Either with a custom rom (in the development section), or by flashing/installing su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip, via custom recovery that you just installed in step 2. In order to learn how to flash su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip go here. For extreme newbies look at the bottom of the post here to show you easy way to get into your recovery and flash/install su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip, via taking out back battery.
All this found in thread [HOW TO] ROOT HTC RUBY / AMAZE 4G in the first sticky post in General Section, in much more detail.
NOTE: ONE CLICK ROOT TOOL DOES NOT NOT UNLOCK YOUR PHONE NOR DOES IT PUT CUSTOM RECOVERY, IT ONLY ROOTS. YOU MUST FOLLOW BASIC KNOWLEDGE ABOVE

Troubleshooting:
1.Common Problems: You can find more common problem questions answered here
2.Custom Recovery Problems: If have problems with step 3 (Custom Recovery) in [HOW TO] ROOT HTC RUBY / AMAZE 4G, or from the post below, go to this page.
3.WiFi and Bluetooth Problems: This is due to your kernel. I have seen multiple threads about this. Here are the ways to resolve this:
Whenever you download a rom there's a boot.img file in there. always extract the boot.img file and use xobarders kernel flasher to flash your kernel before you install your custom rom. If you are running a stock rom, download All in One Toolkit by Hasoon. Alternatively you can use the one and only custom kernel we have right now Faux's Custom kernel.
4.Touchscreen and Multitouch issues (Gaming Etc): It seems like installing a third party lockscreen widget such as Widgetlocker, Go locker, or Flyscreen, tends to interfere with the multitouch of the HTC amaze. Disable these widgets and restart your phone. Then use this program from the market to get 4 solid points touch points, If you are not getting it, uninstall the lockscreen widget altogether, and restart until you are constantly getting four touchpoints.

Rules and General Knowledge:
Over time we get many many questions in the General Section about things that can easily be found. I assure you if you read these in this order, you will learn a lot, and have almost no questions left.
1. Read the FAQ section: Here
2. Please Read the Bible in the development section, This is very helpful: Here
3. Look in the development section for what you need before asking for roms, stock roms, how to root, or how to unlock. (The development section is only three pages, I urge you to go through it if you want to learn how to do things and are unfamiliar with things: Here
4. Use the search feature before asking a question.

Camera Quality:
There have been many debates among people about camera quality, this is a guide that provides good information on camera and why the amaze has the best camera on the market
1. Aperture 101: http://inluminent.com/2005/12/14/digital-photography-101-aperture/
2. Lens size/focal length (wide viewing angle): http://www.paragon-press.com/lens/lenchart.htm
Some comparisons:
HTC Amaze: F/2.2, backside illuminated sensor, Excellent camera software, Close to zero shutterlag. 28 mm lens, very wide viewing angle (get more real estate in one picture)
Iphone 4S: F/2.4, backside illuminated sensor, Above Average camera software, Close to zero shutterlag 35 mm lens, wide viewing angle
Galaxy S II: F/2.65, NO backside illuminated sensor, Above Average camera software, Normal shutter lag, I think 28 mm lens (seems to be more like 30 or 35), very wide viwing angle.
Galaxy nexus: F/2.75, NO backside illuminated sensor, Basic ICS camera software, Zero shutterlag, 35 mm lens, wide viewing angle
The Amaze has the widest viewing angle, as it has a 28 mm lens, the lower the number the more real estate you get, look at number 2 (lens size) above. Look at how much wider of a field you get with galaxy s II and amaze 4g. Amaze has the lowest f/stop (aperture), f/2.2, meaning more light gets to the sensor. However lower f stop comes at a price, I prefer a f/2.4 on the iphone 4s but with a wide viewing angle of 28mm, no phone on the market has that right now. The higher your f-stop, the easier it will be to focus on larger subjects and objects and to keep more of the frame in focus, at the cost of a darker image. The lower f-stops will give you a blurrier background and possibly create some darkness around the corners of the frame, but a brighter overall image
compare images a when it shows you the distance: http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/i...axy-S-II-vs-Amaze-4G-camera-comparison_id2883

I've read somewhere there are 3.7 million Android devices activated on Christmas day alone. Assumed that 1% of those new device is the Amaze and that'll give us 37,000 new Amaze owner with assuming/estimately/approx. 10% wanted to root their phone ... that equal to 3,700 newbies and at least 1/2 of them will head to this forum
I wouldn't be suprise if my Mom log-in here and ask is rooting will allow her newly Amaze steamed her rices for her though.
So, get ready and be a little gentle if you could lads.

I believe if you are unable to unlock and root your phone, you better not do (actually not be allowed to do) it in the first place and first spend some time learning before doing it...people just want to root for the heck of it without understanding anything and they probably will have 2000 more questions after rooting and trying to customize and flash roms.
Do you know how much I had to read before I decided to unlock and root my nexus one the first time!!! I wanted to know what it meant what I could do etc. I screwed my phone up 2 times and tried different things to fix it and was able to...that's how you learn. with all the guides provided here people should have no problem learning SO SO much... This way they can get better use of their phone...learn how to flash themes, learn what hboot, fastboot, kernel, etc all that stuff does.
Please folks I urge you to read read read...It's not like your reading a boring textbook, its cool stuff that'll make you be able to use your phone much more effectively and to your liking.
I say binary should take out the noobproof recovery zip file and let people learn how to do it in fastboot and adb, thats how i learned, but then that'll create a massive load of questions i guess. learning a little bit of dos in the process its always usefull.

We're still getting the questions and I'm still getting the private messages but not as much now. I agree with you that the people that can't root the device because they can't follow the instructions should not be allowed to do so. Here's a simple reason why. When I used to develop ports and themes (couple roms back in the G1/MT3G days) I always had to include a disclaimer that WAS the link. In other words I would say download by clicking the disclaimer below which would waive their rights to blame me should something go wrong. Why did I do that? Because people couldn't read or follow instructions which caused a quite a bit of grief for me. Funny thing was that when I began using that method people were asking me "Where can I download?" and that would prove to me that they did not read the disclaimer or the instructions for that matter. I have also learned that you have to put words in color, different sizes, use underlines and even in bold to get their attention. In fact, I'll be willing to wager that that last sentence was the first to get your attention. Which proves my point. Developers need to make things stand out without making it look tacky.
Here's an example of one of my themes with what I was talking about:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8899943
You must add pictures, underlines, changelogs that are easy to find, read and understand. Then you need to add the disclaimer. That way you don't need to worry about getting people pissed off at you for messing up their device.

Would have saved me a few minutes the other day if this was posted, but I just opened the .bat files in textedit and ran them in terminal(with whatever tweaks to the commands needed). Glad it is here for future osx/linux people though.
I never did figure out why, but a few different versions of fastboot didn't work for me- one of these had a version that worked for me, the others didn't, can't remember which worked.. RecoveryInstallerForNoobs, EasyKernelFlasher, Xboarder56-All-in-One-Tool. Or maybe it was fastboot-mac that I think I found on the htcdev site..
Either way, definitely cool to see more mac/linux friendliness in the forums I don't touch my pc if at all possible..

I don't know about 2.0, I downloaded it and some other files 2 nights ago when I got my amaze. Like I said, there were a few versions of fastboot that I tried that didn't work.. still the entire process of unlocking bootloader, flashing recovery, and flashing a rom took less than 30 minutes once I figured out that the fastboot file was the issue. It probably helps that I thought I'd have this phone a month ago, so already researched everything I would need to know.

Hi, is it possible do port ubuntu on our device?
Sorry for my english and thanks for answers.
Gesendet von meinem Dell Streak mit Tapatalk 2
Canonical's eventual objective is to have the Ubuntu mobile OS on many more devices than the Nexus line by Google. So, to answer your question, it should be possible to port Ubuntu mobile to the Streak, however it may be some time before we see it happen.
Oh, and your English is perfectly fine and understandable. In fact, it's a lot better than what you see from some native speakers!

If it needs cm10 to run it I doubt it'll happen lol
Not really. I believe the Streak can run Jellybean, but the core issue will always be drivers. Without them, nothing is going to happen.
I'd love to see that happen... Also be curios to see how it runs on a sort of dated phone... The Ubuntu Touch Message center is tasty looking! LoL! Wished we could find something like that for Android...

This makes no sense. You put out a call for someone to report the thread when you could do it yourself?
To the naysayers, the Streak can run ICS. If it isn't going to handle Jellybean, it will be both because of a lack of drivers as well as the possibility of the Streak's system partition being too small to accept Jellybean.
So, we need to find out the size of the system partition, by typing the following commands into a command prompt with the Streak connected to a PC:
adb shell
su
busybox df -h
If the system partition is less than approximately 350MB then Jellybean will not run on the Streak without modifications.

the system partition is 260m ,but it doesn't matter
i had made new partitions in innersd0 , and installed the 2nd os in the new partitions
the size of new partitions could be modified easily
Then that eliminates the minor issue, leaving drivers as the lone obstacle to getting Ubuntu on the Streak. This is the same obstacle that prevents us from getting ICS working properly on the Streak, and until there is some traction in an ICS port, Ubuntu is not going to happen.

Can't you understand that i was asking someone to do it because i was online through my phone and fyi you can report a thread through xda's app ..
If you want to continue this general discussion, open up a thread in general section and continue your talking there, this section is for development and not for general discussions . A guy spammed this section and you are supporting him. Reported!
I don't use the XDA app, but whether I do or not has no bearing on the ease of reporting a post. However I neither consider his post to be spam nor do I believe it inappropriate for this subforum. I suspect no one else in this thread, except you, cares one way or another.
Since you reported me, I don't have to tell you to go ahead and waste your energy, do I.
What I can't understand, is why this Question is in Development.
Com'on people, read the rules before you sign on.
Development is for "Works", like Roms, Kernels, Roots, Hacks and such. To post in the Dev section, you better be attaching something worthwhile One could say "Hey, I heard OX10 can be ported to...". If you don't have some code.... see the following....
Otherwise, it gets moved to Q & A or General...
Thread moved.

A rhetorical question you ask. This is only speculation, but perhaps the OP thought to spur such development by asking the question. That's why I personally didn't have an issue with the OP posting the thread in development. But, my opinion on the appropriateness of the thread's location is irrelevant.

Why don't you understand that questions don't belong in development section?
There are several OS out there, so should we create a new thread for every OS asking " Can this OS be ported to DS 5 ?"
GENERAL discussion are not for development section!
There's a general section for that!
If someone gets something working on DS5, he/she will definately post it here(XDA), a question will not make that OS.
We all know that we hardly have a working ICS(4.0.4), so it's impossible to get ubuntu working on DS5 since its based on CM10.1 ( 4.2.2) , the bitter truth.
You are quite an experienced member and still you are supporting a spam thread instead of helping in cleaning the dev section. This is my last post on this thread and even after this if you don't understand then can't help with it.
BTW thanks Moscow desire!
Actually Ubuntu Touch is based off of Android 4.1.2
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2
Which still leads to the issue of drivers. Without drivers, any discussion of porting Ubuntu Touch is nothing more than wishful thinking. This device still doesn't have a properly working ICS port because there are no driver sources to be able to create proper drivers.
At this point, I'm bowing out of this discussion. I'm starting to repeat myself.

No probs mate and I never said you can't post here, I was so irritated by the other guy that I answered in that manner. My apologies if I sounded rude.
Thats alright,
Hello there. Basically, I was on the newest (I think) Alliance Rom with Dorimanx kernel for s2. however, it began to get quite buggy, and I tried to flash a new kernel onto it. Siyah. then I tried to flash Cyanogenmod onto it. Restarted, phone won't load past the siyah logo. But I get the siyah recovery menu thing still. But when I try to install the cyanogenmod zip, it fails. I have no other roms on my sd card, or kernels, for that matter.
Please can somebody advise me what to do. I need my phone for work in 5 hours! I was thinking a fix possibly with Odin? Although, I'm guessing if I wiped the phone, kies will no longer be on there. Not sure what it means for it.
thanks.
It's Jellybean by the way
1) Use a more descriptive title than 'HELP !'. Many people will ignore your thread/not read it for that alone (which means you might miss out on help).
2) If you've still got CWRecovery, you still should be able to flash something without resorting to Odin. I would suggest perhaps you're not following the instructions on the first page of the CM thread to the letter. Try it again.
If you really can't flash anything in recovery & still have bootloop (I.E recovery seems broken), get a stock rom from Samfirmware, flash it with Odin = clean slate & you can then re-root your phone & have another go at flashing whatever rom/kernel you want to use.
Thanks, and thanks for telling me about the title, I guess, my apologies, but urgency is urgency.
I can't get any zip files onto my phone or the SD card. so flashing from the phone is pretty much a no.
I can try Odin, however, I barely know what it is. Is anybody willing to just tell me what to click?
No spoon feeding allowed mate. No one will hold your hand and tell you what button to click. I may as well fly over there and do it myself.
If you want to know about Odin flashing click the link in my signature and look at the section on how to flash.
But, I still don't think you need to use Odin. In CWM recovery, Mount usb storage, connect to pc, transfer rom.zip onto phone sd from pc, unmount usb & then flash rom. Done.

Okay.. Seems a bit odd, being a help section, in a forum. I just figured since I'm dealing with something that could potentially break/brick my phone, I would rather do it right as opposed to wrong, considering I have never done it myself before.
Thanks though, I didn't actually know I could mount it without actually booting the phone. I'll try that.

Yet you still haven't changed it. Urgency may well be urgency, but you either want to make that small change & potentially get the help you need if you get stuck further, or you don't. No skin off any of our noses either way *shrugs*.
P.S - Forum rules are forum rules.
Edit - And the reason Hopper said what he said - this may well be a Q&A forum, but that doesn't mean we regurgitate stuff that's been asked/answered thousands of times over the past two years for any n00b who thinks they deserve same.
I'm not even being harsh with what I say. I didn't write out the steps, but I did give you a direct link to a place which lists the steps. That's a legitimate A to your Q.

As far as I'm concerned mate, I wanted help with something, went to the HELP section of a FORUM, and got help, so you can go **** yourself if you have a problem with that. I don't go to forums to just chat about my day. If what I did ask was too much for you, then just let someone help who is more helpful than you. I didn't ask anybody to troll the net for files, or anything of the sort, I asked for legitimate help with something I didn't know how to do.
Either way, I've managed to fix the problem, so no more needs to be done.
Thank you to those who gave me advice.

Please show respect to senior members. They have been here longer than you, obviously dealt with problems much similar to your and want you to search for yourself, that is why the search buttons are there. Did you watch 'I am a noob in XDA Developers' video?
And you obviosuly have no idea why they say this, but it's because you will learn for yourself. In near future you will search and find answers yourself if you start now (which they are trying to make you do) other than just relying on other people to do your work for you. That's not the way XDA developers work.
So rather then being disrespectful and throwing insults at them, you should thank them

Yes - I appreciate the fact that I was helped the amount I was, but I could say the same. Is that the best way to treat new members? I have already apologized twice for my mistakes, at least, and I STILL have people telling me I'm doing things wrong. Also, it's not like I haven't thanked them. I think I thanked them at the end of nearly every post. Anything else to pick at?
I'm not trying to disrespect - just trying to prove my point. If you didn't want to help me, don't, just don't ***** about the fact that I wanted help. :/
My problem is fixed, that's all that matters.
thanks again.

Yes it's the right way to treat new members.
You are doing things wrong, respecting other members is a rule of XDA and you're not doing it - so you're doing it wrong.
Good you thanked. But was i necessary to disrespect. Yes you were disrespecting.
Prove your point? That it's okay to spoonfeed newbies and making them think that they wont have to do anything, just ask and wait?! No that's not right, as already stated.
You wanted to help how exactly? To tell us that we should do it 'the way you like it'? No that's wrong, accept it!
Dont come here and try to flame, there's a rule against that. Take you crap elsewhere, cause with that attitude you probably wont get much help around here or anywhere else for that matter.
This is my last post and visit here, so dont even bother commenting if there anything about me.
