Hi and please help me!
I stupidly tried to update my firmware using Odin with a really bad flu and am just not thinking clearly today... I accidentally used one of my d/l for future reference ICS roms...
now I have a soft bricked phone, I feel like death and can't seem to work my way back to fixing it, I need help being a super n00b!
I am in Australia, using the optus pre-paid network, I was using Gingerbread 2.3.4 I think? and would like to get back to that, flashed with this CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5.tar using Odin - um.. yeah I don't know why I did it either.. blonde jokes welcomed.
ask me anything related and I'll try to answer it... please and thankyou in advance for holding my hand to fix this up!!!

If you can get into recovery then flash a new rom or reflash what you were running

Thank you so much for your reply,
so sorry for the delay getting back to you - didn't get notification that there were any replies to my thread then didn't have internet for a bit...
I flashed this rom:
http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyS2/GT-i9100/ICS
and that is what got me out of soft brick land, but it's unstable and I can't use the internet via google app or follow any hyperlinks from anywhere without it crashing, although facebook kind of works, sometimes, gmail works and my other email accounts work, google play works and I can d/l apps...
not sure if mem leaks or what the issue is but I need to constantly reboot it too.
I would have liked to try another rom, but I'm feeling very cautious now!! and whenI posted this, the hosting for all the XDA linked roms were down for some reason, so I couldn't d/l any others..
would love some guidance to make sure I get it right this time and pick a good rom to flash...
I was thinking of this one:

any thoughts? would love any help please and thank you
i reads the first and last 100 pages of a Rom in forums..
usually gives u a good idea not or to use it.. sometimes i get to page 2 and just move on..
but nearly all roms i have used are Great, And some have tools to Great for me to use,
Im in Brisbane if u need a Hand i can help out , But best thing i find to do on This Huge site is to keep reading and learning as u go..
Thanks very much,:-D
I kind of lost my bottle after two hours staring at that exclamation mark in the yellow triangle and nothing booting!
The stock rom I used is getting worse by the day, so I have to do something,
I just need to know exactly what to do and regain my confidence, so some mentoring would help me immensely, and more reading would be great, however, I can't get online much atm due to work and study, and my internet being all but inaccessable on my phone boo.
thank you!!
Hello all, I have a couple questions about the WP7.8 Sianto Edition for the HTC Arrive. I have the Sprint Arrive and am considering putting this rom on my phone. First I would like to know if anyone knows what kind of unlock it has, if any. Also, does the USB Tethering work in the 1.6 for the Arrive? I see it listed for the 1.6.1 for the 7 Pro..
And does anyone have any input on how reliable this rom is? I am looking for forward to the 2.0L that is said to be coming soon. As of late my phone has gotten so slow and my data connection speed is terrible lately. It seems every week it gets worse and I am having many apps just crash to the home screen and apps that rely on the data like radio apps just take forever to even open now. My wife has this same phone on the same network and hers is not having any of these issues.
Thanks for your replies.
Anyone know? Planning to download the rom tomorrow but want to know about the unlock first. I have yet to HSPL my phone but will when I have all my questions sorted out.
Hi mate!
Concerning the slow speeds, if you upgraded your phones memory by swapping the sd card, the two can be related (for example, my youtube videos are very sluggish while streaming). I Have an international 7 pro (no carrier branding) and it's been 10 months since my last hard reset (when I upgraded the memory from 8 to 32 gigs) and i am also experiencing very slow load times, but I don't know about the apps crashing. Data loading is also a bit slow on my side (on some apps while refreshing) but internet explorer just works fine.
But I remember the phone working just fine right after the memory upgrade, so my guess is that constantly adding and erasing apps and files like videos, music and pictures are kind of messing up the responsiveness of the system.
PS: Sorry for my response not being specific enough to your case. I didn't want to reply at first but since the 7 pro forums aren't much populated lately, I thought that my idea on the subject could help.

For one, yes, the Sianto ROM IS unlocked.
And for another, the first time I loaded the Sianto ROM on my phone, it was at v1.4, I believe. After going through the steps, my phone was it's fastest ever, and I loved my phone even more than when I had first gotten it. Things were great for about a week, until tragedy struck: an app I installed from the Bazaar marketplace while at school basically bricked my phone. So, I borrowed a friends phone, let people know I would be incommunicado, and waited out the day. When I got home, I immediately came here to XDA, and tried to remember which ROM I had loaded, but wasn't able to get the same computer I had originally used. I remembered Sianto's name, but then saw ansar's ROM, and decided to try that one.
Long story fairly short: I switched back to Sianto after about a day, and haven't looked back since.
I don't know about USB tethering, but the internet sharing works in v1.6, and I especially like that Digital Power was added to the Settings. Every time I flashed my phone before, I had to reinstall Digital Power, but not with this version!
All in all, I wholeheartedly recommend Sianto v1.6, and I know that when v2.0L comes out, I'm definitely going to flash it.
Hope I helped.

Thanks for your reply! That's exactly the response I was looking for! Glad to know that it is unlocked and that you got a performance boost out of it. I get internet hooked up on Monday so I will be downloading and flashing around then!
Thanks again

No problem, hope everything goes well. Let us know how it turns out! :good:
Hi , im new here and really need some advice.
I purchased a Z3 this week and bought it second hand , even though it is new but without box. I found out it has the dreaded demo app installed because i think it was ex-display in a phone shop. Once i plug in the charge it deletes my photos,contacts,apps etc. and comes up with the demo video. Iv'e tried the codes people usually use and done something else using the computer someone suggested ,but nothing works. I was thinking about rooting the phone but after looking on forums i can't seem to find anything to explain how to root it or even if it's possible yet because its a new phone. Iv'e tried to delete the app it has but it just keeps coming back. So need to find someone way that is like rooting the phone to get access to delete it permanently. If anyone can help , would be much appreciated. Thanks:good:
Hey everyone, I'm new to all of this. Like super new, Like I made an account today new.
I have had a IWO Watch MTK250c for some time, i just recently got in to trying to mod some extra faces etc. my first attempt went very well using the Mediatek SmartDevice app and my Macbook with my Android phone, however the second face i added did something messed up as soon as i selected it on my watch to use my watch's screen went black and the backlight on the screen started coming on and off every 2 seconds or so. I am trying to stay positive here but i probably bricked it because that'd be my luck. In reading this forum I found I most likely need to reflash/install the original operating firmware and re-start from scratch. However as I said, I'm really new at this stuff and I only have a Macbook computer, is there any hope of fixing this watch or any advise for a totally new person at fixing this at all?
Thanks all for listening this forum is very helpful and any replies would be great.

Hi, no answer until now? Which IWO model do you own? I bought the latest firmwares for IWO5 and IWO4 from shiningintl.com.
There is a collection of firmware for different MTK2050C models, which you can find here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_hRh3DjuBoeRTRHT3N2NzJvUnM
Good luck in reflashing

So I recently rooted my Samsung S8+, G995U (The Box my phone came in says G955USQU1AQC9 and my carrier is ATT), using this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...root-partcyborgrom-aqk3-samfail-odin-t3717702. Everything went well, my phone rooted correctly, no errors. However, I found out that SnapChat doesn't work on rooted devices (rootcloak didnt work, and root switch froze my phone.). Now, I would like to keep texting friends and this one girl through SnapChat, so if anyone could help me revert back, I'd really appreciate it. If you need any other information in order to help me through, please let me know. I'd like to have this done before Saturday, but as long as I can get it fixed it should be fine. Thanks in advance.
P.S. I'm a noobie to all this, so if you could be a little clearer, than you would normally be, when explaining steps I'd really appreciate it.
P.S.S Idk how to insert images, so here's an imgur link to some other info from About Phone https://imgur.com/gallery/RhHMm
