orange san francisco help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello i tried putting a recovery on my san francisco i used a method from sanfranciscoandroid.co.uk and it said it was converting it to gen2 then it installed cwm 5.0.2.0 that worked the only this is it wouldnt boot into the rom only the recovery so i tried reseting it and tried other roms but now its just doing the same, where do i go from here?

What you need to do is download the rom on your pc, then remove your sd card and copy the rom into the root directory of the sd. You don't unzip the files just leave it zipped.
Boot into recovery pressing the power button and Either up vol or down vol not sure which one (it's a long time since i've had a San Fran).
It will then boot into Clockworkmod Recovery.
scroll down using the volume keys to backup and then press the home key to select it.
Then repeat the process for factory data/wipeCache/Dalvik Cache
When you have done the wipes
scroll down to install zip from sdcard, select it, then slect choose zip from sdcard
scroll down to the zip rom and select it, then scroll down to yes install ziip select it and let it run, when it's finished reboot the phone
it should reboot with the new rom installed, it could take 5-10 minutes for the phone to reboot.
Good Luck
PS make sure the roms you download are for Gen2 or if its a Gen1 download a Gen1 rom, you can tell by installing an app called Mr Pigfish which will tell you what gen your OSF is.

The phone doesn't boot to the Tom at the moment so I can't check and I have done this but still no luck :/

Custom recovery, stuck on a step.

Okay, im trying to flash custom recovery on my Optimus one [Stock 2.2] Rooted with Z4root [permanent].
First step is to donload 3 files
Kernel and the 2 files from this thread.
http://androidforums.com/getitnowma...ry-optimus-one-p500-thunderg.html#post1896517
I've unzipped flash_image.zip and recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img.zip at the root of my SDcard [empty one, 2GB] And put there the kernel.zip [as it was!]
I opened a terminal on my Optimus one and writed down the commands from the topic i've found above.
Now im stuck at
Code:
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
after typing this command i get a message over and over again that says "cannot read from location" or ""no such file or directory"" or something like that.
Anyone can guide me step by step ? I dont get it how the whole procedure must be done :/
That step is not required,it has something to do with "sticking" the recovery so it won't revert to the original.You can safely continue on to the next step
So i just ignore it, right?
Is there a risk on bricking my phone on flashing as far as i know.
Except my mistake, on what else does it depend that?
I did all theese steps and my phone restarted on Stock Rom settings with everything wiped out :S
[i have a backup of apps with titanium backup and vcf contacts etc etc..]
... but... WTF! :S
any help?
Please tell us in more detail what steps you have done.
Also, if you only want to install custom recovery, what do you need a "kernel.zip" for?
Which kernel is it, where did you get it from?

Ι did exactly the steps from this topic
http://androidforums.com/getitnowma...ry-optimus-one-p500-thunderg.html#post1896517
i ignoring as i said on my first post the message "no such file or directory"
after typing a command as NikolaMK told me to just ignore that.
After typing EXACTLY theese commands, phone restarted as i expected but with fresh stock rom!
[the kernel is the one with the cpu on touch fix.]
It restarted, but were you able to enter the custom recovery? When the phone is off, press vol down + home + power until you see the LG Splash screen.
Copy the flashimage.zip and extracted flashimage both to sd and do the steps again.
Also do the same with thunder zip.

It restarted but i didnt keep them off as far as i remember or didnt hold them for so long as it needed.
So in conclusion, if i dont keep them pressed, i lose chance on going onto custom recovery? Or not?
by the way, for safety i had zips extracted [except the one having the kernel i wanted to flash afterwards.]
Need as simple instructions as you can guys, im very conservative this time because i just have 1 week my phone right after repaired from last bricking.
I find it strange that your phone had the settings wiped after flashing the custom recovery.
I flashed it myself last Saturday, and all went well. Here's what I did:
Root phone using z4root
Install Terminal Emulator
Copy flash_image and recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img to SD
Perform the steps in the androidforums thread.
Now, I also expected the phone to boot into the recovery when issuing the command "reboot recovery", but it didn't. It booted normally, but there was no wipe, all my settings were still there. On we go:
Turn off phone
Press Vol-Down, Home and Power at the same time and don't let go until the recovery has booted. If you've done that and only thing happening was the settings wipe, something has gone wrong while flashing the custom recovery, and you're still on stock recovery.
Maybe you should MD5 check the recovery.zip you downloaded and try flashing it again.
Try placing flashimage.zip, extracted folder of flashimage.zip, and also contents from extracted folder, all on to the sd along with thunderg zip and start typing the commands on terminal emulator.
Also make sure u have rooted the phone first.
This should do the trick.
There is a video on YouTube showing the steps.I've never seen the whole video before,but I think it will be of much help Try it!
1) Phone is z4root-rooted.
2) i have all needed combination of files on my SD Card meaning: Folder contents of zip, root of card zips, unzipped on root, etc etc... so the commands can "See" the files no matter what.
3) it rebooted without custom recovery installed.
If i press the button combo without having installed custom recovery, what do i get?
I'd like to see the video AsherChua mentioned above.
I had a similar problem as you, I had to use the custom recovery from here
NOTE: THIS IS WHAT I USED, IT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK FOR YOUR PHONE

???????
I believe you're supposed to go to the recovery for default android.. I went to it once possibly by accident and never figured out how to 'enter' while I was in it. up/down is still the volume key but I didn't know how to use confirmation.
Let's suppose im doing the same steps again as on my 1st post
BUT ....
after phone freezes and right as soon as it gets black screen, i push the button combo, it will work, right?
Was my fault for not pushing theese keys after the reboot message of terminal?
Is it obligated to do this?
I think what you get when you press the 3-button combo without having custom recovery installed, is a memory wipe/factory reset/whatever you wanna call it.
My guess, that's what happened to you.
If you have sucessfully installed custom recovery you can enter it WHENEVER YOU WANT! Just turn the phone off, when it's off press the 3 buttons and keep them pressed. Works for me. If it doesnt for you, my only explanation would be that for some reason you didnt succeed in flashing the custom recovery and are still on stock one.
When you entered the line "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img", did it take a while before the cursor reappeard so you could enter the next line?
i dont remember if it took a while for the cursor or it was instant.
If i press the key combo vol_down + home + power while turned off without custom recovery, nothing happens, right?
I dont want to risk for 3rd time of a wipe :/
It's boring to install again tbackup and restoring everything from scratch! :/
If you press it without Custom Recovery it will wipe again !

[Q] stuck in boot animation

folks,
I was running sky-raider zeus rom on my HTC Thunderbolt. I went into Rom Manager and decided i wanted to try out the Cynagenmod rom. I down loaded it. Chose to do a full wipe and download google apps. Since then it rebooted after and has been stuck in the Boot animation.
I tried to go into recovery and it asks me if i want to proceed with update. I choose yes. Unzips files and reboots into the boot animation and remains stuck.
Please Help.
Describe in as much details how you flashed this Rom, what did you name the file if you changed it at all? Did you flash in Rom manager or recovery? Did you clear data/cache/davlik? What version of recovery are you using? How did you flash in recovery, did you go to select zip file from SD card?
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button
Delete double post
I used Rom Manager and I had the latest version. I'm not sure what the # was. I chose to wipe all options and download google apps. After that I did not touch the phone and it went into reboot and has been stuck in the boot animation since.
Thanks for your help in advance
So you flashed the Rom from CWM app?
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button
Ok this is what you do never ever flash a Rom from Rom manager, you are going to want to select reboot to recovery and do it from there. Here are steps to save your night.
1. take battery out and put back in and hold down on volume and hold power button at same time. this will boot into Hboot.
2. Select recovery (god I hope you don't have a radio sitting there) or that will load instead of recovery. If this is the case you will want to remove your SD card and use a computer to remove the radio from ur card.
3. Once you are in recovery select clear data/cache and then under advanced clear davlik. And select install file from SD card and it should say select file and just pick last Rom you loaded I always keep a few on mine just in case.
4. This will install the Rom the correct way, after it is done reboot and all should be well.

Grnlantern79,
Thank you so much for your help. I do have something sitting there. I"m not sure if it is a radio though i think it is. It reads
Parsing...[SD ZIP]
[1] MDM9K
[2] Radio_V2
Do you want to update?
What should i do?
Yes it is a radio and No don't update, and hopfully it will allow you get to recovery if not get on computer and remove the pg05img file off SD card.
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button
thanks for your help.
When i get home from work i will try to get to my own computer to get the file out. Thanks
nevermind found it

Yea once you flash a radio either move it off the root of SD card or rename it so you can use it at a later time in case a future radio does not work as well. It's always good practice to keep the root of SD card clear of files named pg05img.zip or update.zip

[Q] Gtablet: Reboot Recovery

Hello all
I am having a small issue with GTab
I can reboot into recovery every time from the power and volume+ combination, but sometime will not reboot if I go to the menu and reboot (power-off) menu, or if I go into CWM ROM Manger and reboot to recovery. sometimes I get the in and other time just reboots everything comes up. just like rebooting from the menu at time quicker..
I am running CWM v.8 Vegtab 7.1.0
now I believe this start after I flashed from CWM ROM Manger the a version CWM .. can remember the version (sorry ) screen was Orange and had the logo CWM in the center.. this is when I noticed the problem, then I reflashed back to V.8 thinking that would fix the problem and it did not.
I hoping this make sense I know it not world stopping or fun stopping, but it is a pain..
hoping someone had seen this problem before.. and could give me some direction to look at
Jim
1. Using the Power and Vol + key is the recommended method to boot into recovery. Avoid using the other methods.
2. Uninstall ROM Manager. It works fine on phones, but, is known to cause problems on the gTab.
3. Make sure both your ROM and your CWM are built for your bootloader (1.1 or 1.2). Since you said you have VEGAn-Tab 7.1.0, you can find out the version of your bootloader using the info. in this thread.
Suggestions:
1. Copy the zip file in post #3 of this thread to the SD card and then "install" it (once) using CWM.
2. If you're on a 1.1 bootloader, these CWM versions are available: CWM-2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8 and CWM-4.0.1.5
If you have the 1.2 bootloader install one of these CWM versions: CWM-3.0.2.8 or CWM-4.0.1.5. All are available on this board. Do a search.
thanks rajeevvp
I am using bootloader 1.1
every step worked great.. you are cool android person..
went with CWM-2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8 since that what I had in the first place
Are there any pluses going to CWM-4.0.1.5?
thanks for your help again..

I like that it tries to use the external SD card first and only then falls back to using the internal one for backups, restores and update.zip installs. Other than that and the new menu colours, there aren't a lot of externally visible differences.
More info. in this thread.
rajeevvp,
thanks for the information.. about version of CWM.. I think I found the one that will not work with the reboot menu "power off" menu.. I have installed CWM-4.0.1.5 and tried the menu option and also running GScript to reboot in recovery mode and will not do it all the time with 4.0.1.5.
what happen is that is just boots normal, which is not a bad thing.
and I know you do not like the idea of going into recovery mode without doing the power and volume + method.
just thought you would like to know what I found out.
thanks again for all your help..
Now if I want to go back to bekit-0.8 would you I need to do the erase misc like I did before?

I didn't understand this. Are you saying that CWM-4.0.1.5 does not do "Reboot recovery" correctly everytime? And the ROM also? Both should usually work (but, I don't recommend it) on the 1.1 bootloader.
Now if I want to go back to bekit-0.8 would you I need to do the erase misc like I did before?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No need. Erase misc only if you get stuck on the 3 birds or if you go into a reboots-into-recovery loop--both of which are unlikely given your CWM (bekit-0.8 or 4.0.1.5) and bootloader (1.1) versions.
rajeevvp,
Sorry for the late Reply..
only it I use Gscript reboot to recovery, Menu from the shutdown .. Select reboot and then either reboot or reboot recovery.. if I am using CWM-4.0.1.5 with VegenTab 7.1.0
I can always go in to recovery mode from the volume and power button combination.
using bekit-0.8 I can get it to reboot into recovery from anywhere..
yes, I thought it was werid too..
thanks for all your help
Jim
I don't recommend doing "Reboot to recovery" using any tool--GScript, the ROM option, or the CWM menu item. Your tablet may "hang" at the 3 birds splash screen or go into a "always-reboot-into-recovery" boot loop.

[Q] Possible Semi Brick

Hey guys. This is my first smartphone so I know very little of what I am doing but I followed this guide on the site.

I can still voldown + power and home + power. When I do voldown + power it leads me to a white screen and at the top it says

Well. That white menu is called BOOTLOADER. Just so you know for the future.
Don't panic, it is not bricked .
First thing to do:
1.Shut down the phone completely.
2. Turn on your phone by holding down the buttons: Home + Power. -> This will lead you to your favorite recovery (AmonRA or CWM?)
3. When you are in recovery, go to the menu that says - "Wipe".
4. Wipe this things:
Data/cache
Dalvik cache
Sdcard ext (if having one).
Battery
Rotation settings
^ basically select to wipe everything that's in the respective menu.
5. Download a custom rom that suits you best.
6. Place that rom on the root of your sdcard (don't put it in a folder or whatever, just copy paste it in the sdcard).
7. Flash your rom
8. Reboot
9. Wait until the lights on the buttons goes on -> this is a sign that everything is working and the phone will boot every second.
10. Congrats
Oh, don't forget, some roms have lower boot times, so be patient when booting for the first time (it might take a few minutes).

Ok:
You are in the recovery
Put your phone in usb mode (from recovery, hit the usb-ms toggle).
Go to MyComputer.
Select your sdcard - right click on it - FORMAT
Select the Fat16 or Fat32 format (not NTFS).
I suggest Fat16.
You can check the "Quick Format" since you don't have anything on it.
After it is done formatting, copy paste again your rom. -> MAKE SURE THAT IT IS COPIED CORRECTLY (leave it 2-3 minutes after it is finished copying).
Go to your computer
Right click on the SD CARD and hit "EJECT".
Now on your phone, press any button to go to the recovery menu.
Flash the rom.
It should be ok now.
That problem was because the rom was not copied completely or you have your sdcard in NTFS format. If the problem still persist, please redownload your rom. This problem might as well appear if the download was not completed correctly.
Hope this helps you. Cheers!
NOTE: ALWAYS FLASH ROMS THAT ARE INTENDED FOR YOUR PHONE -> HTC HERO.
DON'T FLASH ROMS THAT ARE FOR ANOTHER PHONE BECAUSE YOU WILL BRICK THE DEVICE!!!

Because that is not a ROM, didn't you saw that it is too small to be a ROM???
A rom has from 60mb to 250 mb... That had 6 mb or so... try this one
before flashing it again, WIPE EVERYTHING! because you flashed some things and if you flash the rom on top of that, it will not work.
so download that rom,
put it on sd card
wipe everything from recovery
flash the rom
reboot
enjoy.
don't forget to search the same thread for news and other versions of the rom. Right now it is v3 but in short time it will be v3.5!
Cheers

And also, it is good (if you change the rom to anything else) to go to your sdcard and delete these folders:

Android

Who has the best ICS ROM for At&T Note With Instructions - Donation !

I'm willing to DONATE and PAY for your time - to anyone that can put together a comprehensive set of information to assist me.
I have An At&t Galaxy Note with the 4.03 I717 UCLD3 version loaded on it. I have been toying around with rooting it, and trying to load custom roms, my head is spinning with all the posts.
I'm new, and like many people I have issues when I read the posts on this forum as there is no complete guide to load a new Root, find, and load a new ROM.
When the latest ICS was released a few weeks ago, I went to upgrade and my note will not upgrade with Kies since the counter has been tripped and it has the UCLD3 version on it.
Does anyone have the best ROM to load on the note, or can you explain in clear instructions how to get it back to 100% Stock so I can upgrade with At&t ( I'd rather not this approach, I'd love to get the junky At&t stuff off )
What I'm looking for:
1. A complete guide to root, and load a ROM that has everything the stock phone has, without the At&t bloatware ( IE: 4G, Spen support, compatible with samsung apps, keyboard etc.. )
2. A guide to bring the phone and counter back to 100% stock, so that it can be upgraded by Kies if no one can provide #1 above.
Thanks - I appreciate the help.
1. Get cwm HERE the Odin version.
2.once downloaded right click Odin and run as administrator, then click on the PDA slot and load the .tar you just got
(I'm sorry i don't have s link for Odin, shouldn't be too hard to find)
3 put phone in download mode by powering off, then holding volume down and power, then when prompted volume up.
4.connect to usb that's on a usb port in the back of the pc, no front ports or hubs.
5.when you get a yellow box with a :com: number in Odin hit start.
6a.(optional).no need to root first the Rom is rooted, only reason to root first is if you want to use titanium backup to save your apps and their settings.
For root, you'll need to find the su zip that's floating around and flash that in recovery first.
6b.(also optional)boot into recovery by holding all three buttons, both volume and power, then when you feel a vibrant let go of just the power button, go to backup and restore, abs make a nandroid backup of you're current set up.
7.go here for flappjaxxx latest stock based build.
Put that on your phone someplace you can get to without a bunch of navigating. Internal or external doesn't matter.
8.boot into recovery, go to wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache.
9.go to install zip for sdcard, now if you put the Rom on external the top option "from sdcard" is what you want. If internal the one on bottom that says "from internal sdcard" navigate to where you saved it, then confirm the flash.
Once done, boot into your new Rom and enjoy,
Not completely complete, but your welcome.
No donation needed, but i won't refund it if you were to feel the need lol
Agreed. I switched to twrp but cwm recovery is more user friendly/common
Pm me if you have any?s
ok 1st u will need to download this Root/CWM/ODIN
you will 1st need to put your phone into downlaod mode: power off phone - HOLD VOL DOWN + POWER, once you get the screen that shows Press VOL UP to get to download Mode, (make sure you have the Samsung USB Drivers installed) plug in USB, you will see the COM port in yellow (it does not matter which port number) then click on PDA and navigate to the cwm-touch-i717-120409.tar.md5 and click on start, you will reboot and you have CWM installed that is used to install roms and other stuff (to get in to CWM when device is powered off HOLD VOL UP + DOWN and press the POWER until u feel the 1st vibrate, once you see the 1st Samsung logo, u can let go), then flash Flash Counter Reset through CWM (this will reset your count in ODIN so it will not void warranty. I then use TWRP Recovery Instead of CWM i like the GUI better, just flash with CWM.
ROMS: no as for roms i love Hybrid roms, which makes it a tablet and Phone, i love Paranoid Android you can download here in either ICS or JB, these are already rooted so no need to do all then.
Instructions on Installing ROMS:
1. once you download the roms, move to External SD
2. make a back up with CWM or TWRP, just click on back up and u r done. on TWRP make sure to click on all boxes.
3. Once backed up u will want to do a factory reset, wipe dalvic Cache (in cwm it is under advanced) and wipe cache partition. (some roms will have different instructions but mainly the same)
4. once you r done flashing the rom. reboot and u r done
To Go back to stock you will go here: STOCK ROMS for i717 just download the one u want and you just flash it through ODIN, but if you have CWM or TWRP there is really no need for #2.
Need some help here...
I flash the cwm using odin but then it restarts the phone right after. Then I turn the phone off and go into recovery and I still see the stock recovery.
What am I doing wrong?
BTW the flash count is also going up each time I do it.
