I was linked to that forum, and i need some information
I want to root and i also, can someone tell me if it is possible to get rid of my text messages in my call log, anways can someone answer these questions?
1) how do i make a file on the Internal xd? is that the sd card that you can go out and buy or is it the one that when you go on like file manager on android assistant or even my files, that is the main folder there?
2)what is the difference between a ROM and a KERNAL?
3)does kies work for anyone else? mine always says that my device isn't supported on kies... i have the rogers infuse. I wanna know this because i wanna be able to back my stuff up in case i screw it up
4)was that accelerometer fixed yet?
5)I am a beginner at this rooting stuff but i did jail break ipods alot so i know a bit but almost all the rooting abbreviations i dont know. Anyways i got a thread called [q] Rooting guide - Infuse 4g and i wanna know how to do the stuff in there... Like is just doing this kernal thing going to help me get rid of the text messages in my call log or over/underclock my phone and get better battery life... Please someone help me i wanna root but i dont wanna screw everything up

Someone can probably answer all your questions better then I but yeah for Lies you gotta use Lies mini that's the only one that actually works with the infuse 4g. To make a folder on the internal memory just plug the phone into your computer via USB and select connect to PC from the drop down menu etc .. open it up and just create a new folder. Really simple. I think you may even be able to make one if your phone is rooted. The Rom is a whole package of the os running on the phone, can include kernal, modem, theme and many other changes. (Someone could probably define it better but definitley check the forums for info on what a Rom is) can usually make the phone faster too. The kernal I think is the base for the phone, not sure how to explain it. Do not ever ruin the kernal or you'll get bricked or atleast bootloops. AS for rooting I haven't done this yet on infuse only on my captivate. Hope this helped.

I honestly dont understand a single thing.... i need somoene to like do a skype chat or msn to step by step me through it cause for some reason, i dont understand anything... and i cant find kies mini... is that supposed to be able to back up all my stuff? cause i want that, and of course samsungs site is tooo confusing and i cant find kies mini download links anywhere -.-
thanks for the help guys

Kies mini just gets you the drivers so that your computer recognizes your phone.

Just a google search away.
Just to be completely honest, other than rooting your phone, you may want to stop there. Adding customized features/roms to phones isn't for everyone.
I did web development for years and I still play it cautious when trying out new roms, modems and kernels.

Im probably not going to do many customized roms or anythign that advanced, i just heard its really good to do cause its like getting a brand new phone lol... anyways thanks for the help

for me when i got to the phone app, there is no call log, just says log... and it only has View by, delete and call duration... And view by only has all logs, miss calls dialed calls received calls, sent messages, and received messages... and delete can only delete everything, even if it could delete only text messages, i wouldn't wanna just have to do that constantly, cause i make alot of calls but i make like 20x more texts so i wanna just see my calls in what should be a CALL LOG... thanks for your input though

To start, all of this is found in one thread. You should have looked there before even posting this. But you are new so in the future make sure to ALWAYS check the sticky threads (the ones always at the top of each forum), search, and just look around for your question before making a thread.
Second, this thread should not have been posted here. At the top of this page it says in big bold letters DO NOT POST YOUR QUESTION HERE! Instead, this thread should have gone in the Q and A section.
Heres the thread you should have read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887525
And to finally answer your question, download a program called super one click and you can use that to root your phone. Its a pretty easy process just plug it in and click root. I also hear this is available as an app now and can be done through the app as well so you might try searching the market for it.
Ok but really lastly, why are you still running 2.2? There is an update out there for the 2.3 gingerbread. Although its another process entirely to root.

Use Mobile Odin (and the phone causing your PC to freeze is strange...maybe a driver issue?)

[Q] SGS4G t959W

I am in a bit of a delimma, while i was updating via kies my computer shut down and now my phone is not starting to the os. I can no longer connect to kies while in download mode or any mode. I cannot find stock rom for my sgs4g sgh-t959w. My questions is does anyone know much about this model of phone and if I would be able to flash a stock or custom rom that is on this fourm?

If you were updating through Kies and this happened take it back to where you bought it or call Samsung. I don't think it would be a good idea flashing anything on this forum.

i was gonna say the same. if i'm correct, the sgh-t959w is the windows version of our device.

what???????
I THOUGH THIS PHONE IS SGH-T959"V"

Airfluip would you read. You just told a guy from Poland to take his phone to a T-Mobile store. Now you are confused about the model number this guy has?
He is aware of the model number of our phone. That is why he is asking.

thanks everyone for quick replies. I will call samsung tomorrow about my issue and see what they can do. I have noticed that my model of phone cannot be found on the samsung website. I cannot find much information about it at all on google or any forum. Now i am curious, is there even any custom roms for this model?. Maybe someone on this forum knows more about it. Would love to heat back on what you guys think.
Thanks in advance

I've never even heard of it either, let alone is Google helping. All I'm finding are batteries.
Is it a WindowsPhone device? Where can I learn more about it? I'm kind of interested in one if it exists.

It's the Wind SGS4G.
that's about all I know. I don't think its windows tho..
Sent from my SGH-T959V

I know it is wind mobility sgs4g and it is android based. That all i know though. I am hoping samsung will have the firmware so i can just flash it via odin instead, or hopefully they can figure out why it is not connecting to kies. I will keep everyone updated.

What was the original boot screen like? ? Kinda weird they'd release a phone under same name as ours a year later and it would be much different.

It also has more internal memory, 16 vs 2.

Just purchased today from Mobilicity (Canada)
Greetings from Toronto,
I am finding the same dead end routes with this phone....which pisses me off because I did my due diligence and still end up with something I am unhappy with. I snickered today when I asked the sales associate about ICS, and he said, you'll have to wait for Samsung. I guess my arrogance was unneeded cause now it seems I am stuck. Another poster above mentioned why such a difference for the same phone from T-Mobile ....(My last phones, the Motorola cliq xt, and the LG Optimus 2 LG P999 were a breeze to root....both from T-Mobile) so Why such problems now.....
I'd love to hear of any success stories....please.....

Sadly you probably are stuck. This version of the Galaxy S 4G is very new. And since its specifically for Mobilcity I doubt our roms would work. There are just enough differences I wouldnt want to chance it.
I would go back and tell the rep you just dont like the phone and would like to trade it for a different one.

[Q] SPH D700 battery problem.

A friend of mine has whatever model the SPH D700 is. I think it said Galaxy S when it booted up. Regardless, from a full charge the phone will only last about 2 hours. I checked the battery usage and "Android System" is hogging 83% of the battery usage. I googled it and the only answer I seemed to find was installing "Launcher Pro"
It didn't always have this problem and I would like to fix it for her. Installing a new home launcher doesn't seem very legit to me. I'm sorry I posted here, I couldn't find SPH D700 forum on my phone.
If someone could point me in the right direction, maybe send a few links my way, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks
Edit: Phone is and always has been completely stock. No custom ROMs or root ever.

Mods please feel free to move this to its correct forum...

re-install your rom and i think after your problem go out

Like a factory reflash? Like I said in OP phone has never even been rooted- let alone any ROMs...
Can someone please link me to the correct forums on here? I seriously can't find them for the life of me. :what: Laptop is out for repair and I have to use my phone until I get it back. If someone just gives me the xda forum link for this specific device I will read the stickies/search and figure it out on my own. Thanks

Need help rooting

Hi There,
I would really appreciate some help with rooting my HTC Sensation XL which runs Android version 4.0.3.
I am not too sure if I have posted this in the right section so my apologies if I haven't.
OK so I have been trying for about 6 weeks now to ROOT my HTC. The only reason that I wish to do so is so that I can delete the apps that can not be deleted from the phone IE Facebook,Twitter & similar apps. I don't use them any more and because of this I would like them off the phone.
I have spent many of hours trawling the net to find guides and step by steps on how to do this. I wouldn't say I know/understand a lot of what it asks me to do but at the same time I have a little knowledge so that I am not completely in the dark.
But after reading several step by steps,reading about all the files I need,I end up getting lost and very confused half way through so I decided that perhaps an app that does it for me would be best.
I have seen SuperOneClick recommended several times so I thought I couldn't go wrong with it.
I downloaded the file from CNET.It is version 2.3.3. I extracted it,plugged my phone in via usb (made sure it was in debugging mode) and then clicked "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR" on the actual SOC icon. It brought up the box and I clicked "ROOT". It scrolled and it looked like it was going well until step 7 where it hangs and just states "WAITING FOR DEVICE".I gave it some time but after an hour of it not changing from this,I guessed that something was wrong. Then when I try and click on the window,it becomes unresponsive and I have to force close it.
I have searched for solutions to this,one forum even suggested that I download an older version of SOC which I did. But it pretty much did the same thing,just a different message.
As I said,all I want to do is delete these apps so if anyone can shed some light on the problem I am having and how I can actually root the phone in the most simplest terms (talk to me as if I was your Nan!) then I would be very grateful.
Thank you for your time
Crystal

You should probably move this to the HTC sensation XL thread. This is only the HTC sensation/4g/XE thread. I'm sure there are more people who can help you out if you post in that thread...

Do NOT use any methods of rooting or anything else that you find in this forum. Like the post above says, this forum is for the Non XL Sensation. This is a different device with different processes. Using regular Sensation methods on an XL stands a real good chance of bricking your device.

Ah thank you very much! I couldn't find the forum for the XL so I assumed that this would be the only one. Shall try to find it now.
