Managed to flash back to JVT - for all it's imperfections, you really appreciate a fully functional gingerbread rom :)

I'm going to try and flash back to a stock rom (JVT) using odin1.3 v7. I know I have a custom rom sort of installed so i can't do a factory reset/wipe cache or clear data before i attempt this as I...

Went into the ext4 app and both convert to ext4 and rfs were greyed out :(

I just thought this was a good time to try a custom rom as not much more damage could be done!

I'm now using the ICS...

You mean clear data from recovery mode? I didn't do that! Didn't get chance to unistall cwm either... just thought stuff it and got ICS custom rom - please see my new thread regarding an issue with...

Hey guys, after my lagfix problem last time with all my apps disappearing i just decided to do a cwm backup and install a custom rom - namely cm9 ice cream sandwich. i got it at build 6 and followed...

Hey,

I'm not an expert - I've just messed up my phone - but can you still boot into recovery mode?

If so, you may be able to flash another rom and see if that helps?

Hi guys,

My sgs is running stock android 2.3.5 (JVT) and I had rooted it using cf-root and applied lagfix (ext4).

I wanted to apply the ICS custom rom, and that required me to convert back to...

I see.... will think about and maybe give it a try. Today, I did install galaxy efsbackup.zip from internal sd... maybe that might have done something??

Anyway, if I do go ahead with it, I will...

What I'm most wary of though, is that my IMEI number might change again, and I really don't want that! Any idea why it's changing to that dodgy one when I do try and flash?

I know cm7 is fast. I...

Im already on stock JPY and it doesnt have a CSC. Im not too sure if I want to do rooting again, as my phone seems to be seriously messed up! I dont even know how to get and use EZbase properly...

Hey jimc130, that's exactly what I've been doing! Ive only ever done efsbackup twice... once today which may have messed everything up!

Errmm... to be honest, Ive already tried it and its changing...

Hey jimc130, you're telling me!!! Can't believe how many problems I'm having. Im a newbie to all this stuff, but still I followed the instructions!

I'm on stock JPY, my kernel is 2.6.32.9...

Hey guys, I flashed back to JPY (single file - no 512 pit) and on reboot it came up with a load of errors. On recovery screen, I formatted everything, wiped the partition and formatted the internal...

I dont think so.... I took my external sd out when doing all of this but left my sim in. When I first got MIUI I installed efsbackup.zip for galaxy s.

Is the efs folder on the internal sd card?...

Hey guys I just updated to the latest version of MIUI (mcgv6 from v5)

Initially, I couldnt access my external sd card because i had installed a stock JPY rom (wrong bootloaders).

So I tried to...

Thanks for the suggestion!

I tried flashing the same froyo base again and odin froze.... so took the battery out - resulted in Kernel failure (had that phone to pc symbol). Couldnt access recovery...

Hey jimc130, I just tried getting the correct bootloaders by following this guide: https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1ItSONRa9nzI7MKeKqwIdHCTRA3RRiOM_6LcJGnK4p6Y&pli=1

The safebase froyo rom...

@Rene3000, put the zip file on your internal sd memory - /mnt/sdcard


@jimc310 - ah cheers mate, thats why! to get the correct bootloaders, would I need to repeat all the steps? thanks!

Hey guys, a question:
I'm running MIUI v1.6.3 (part of MCG v5) but it wont let me access ANYTHING on my external sd card, and when i go to settings it says "A2SD+ is not supported on this device"....

Hey guys found out it was the power button instead of the home key. Then I found your replies on this forum :P
but i used stock jpy rom instead of the one the guide suggested and just flashed a...

Hey guys I tried rooting my phone to a custom rom - MIUI this morning and followed this guide:

Thanks guys, battery seems to be ok now anyway.. touchwood. If anything does happen I will definitely give your suggestions a try. Going to download Juice Defender as well. ;)

Guys my battery life on my sgs has improved since I upgraded to gingerbread, but when i took it off charge yesterday morning (it was 100%), it dropped straight to 40%.

Then again, took it off...

hey thanks for the suggestions guys. Finally got it sorted, just had to create a new apn for o2 mobile internet and then it worked. :D

My friend's mobile internet i.e. 3g, H, gprs etc isn't working anymore. He left his house yesterday and was out of range of his home wifi. However, his mobile internet did not work and when he uses...
