i did the ota Gb update but switched back to froyo the other day cuz i wanted my barnacle wifi tether to work but now my bluetooth wont work. i restored from a CWM backup and tried a plain old factory reset and bluetooth didnt work with either one. i tried to turn it on with the toggle switches and in the settings but it does the lil loading symbol and then nothing turns on.
does anyone have any tips or other setting things i can try? what are the chances of the bluetooth hardware breaking? any diagnostic apps i can use to check things?
ok so after trying different restore points and factory resets, i tried to do the ota gb update again but it failed multiple times. so i flashed the sbf again to completely remove the traces of rooting but that kinda failed too. lol everything seemed to work and i got the 'pass' from rsd but my settings and everything was the same and i didnt do a restore but now bluetooth works
SBF doesn't necessarily erase your /data partition.

so this is basically what happened. i rooted my samsung fascinate, then tried to do some voodoo5 thing, stopped halfway, tried several other lag fixes, failed, factory reset my phone about 20 times, and tried to reset my phone to stock with odin and restore files, but now, all it will do is tell me all these applications stopped working and i have to force stop them, i cannot get past teh unlocking screen, because the main screen, like after you fit the puzzle piece, is just black, i can see the status bar, but nothign works, and the force stop message keeps popping up
run a stock ruu.
k good news, i did the stock restore wiht odin, and i restored from a backup i had, now its working fine, but what do i have to do if i wanna flash a new version of voodoo kernel? do i have to disable the previous kernel, or do i hvae to erase the whole kernel?
So the past 2 days I've had an interesting problem, with even more interesting results.
Both mornings I've tried to use my GPS and it just hangs on trying to connect to it. The GPS says it's on, and I can toggle it off and back on again but it never finds any sats.
Yesterday I reboot the phone and it takes a while to boot the phone back up (most like the first time you boot after a fresh install), and when the phone came back online the GPS worked but all my bluetooth pairings were gone.
Today I have the same GPS problem so I reboot again, and again it takes a while to boot and so far I still have my bluetooth pairings, but I've been unable to connect to the devices, all my sound settings are back to the defaults, when I hold down the power button now the only option I have is Power Off, nothing else, when my screen times out and I hit power to bring it back on it goes right back to wherever I was, I don't see the lock screen anymore. And to top it all off my home button and my search button do not work.
What a mess, this phone is getting worse by the day, I'm actually starting to regret the purchase. I guess it's time to call it in and see what they say.
Edit: Forgot to add all my SMS messages were deleted as well.
Rooted? Have you done anything to it? That's definitely not normal but I guess you know that
Ya it's rooted and has nvflashed clockworkmod recovery installed. Rooted the day I got the phone and clockworkmod recovery has been installed for about a week.
I just tried clearing the cache partition, wiping Dalvik Cache, fixing permissions, and no change. Running a full backup via Titanium Backup now before I try a factory reset to see if that fixes it.
If that doesn't do it I'll try restoring a backup image from last week.

I would guess it's not the phone but the CWM made the mess. You probably want to try factory reset.
My Bluetooth settings and profiles randomly appear and disappear and I'm bone stock.
Well, factory reset got all my buttons working again, and my screen locks again. Since I'm back to stock now and have to re-setup everything now I think I'll go try out the Eaglesblood ROM and see how that goes.
I keep doing something or a number of things that cause my 2g/3g toggle to switch back to 2g for a minute and then right back to 3g without my pressing anything. I've tried the field test menu, wiping efs data, everything that can be wiped in CWM, reflashing, different ROMs, and nothing works. Rerooting worked the last time this happened but I've rooted again with hack kit 11 and gingerbreak with the OTA and it's just not working. I fixed it until a reboot last night with reflashing my radio but now no dice. I do not understand.
Hey everyone, I'm using a GT-P5100 (3G + Wifi) O2 UK rooted tablet and for the last month it has been broken. It started rebooting itself randomly every now and then, and then suddenly it wouldn't even boot up for 15 seconds before it would restart itself again.
I am able to get into safe mode and I can get into the boot options, but when I factory reset it does nothing, I've tried from the boot menu, from safe-mode options and even from the dial up code.
I tried to connect my tablet to my PC as a media device and format it but that didn't work either; I can't connect it as a disk then format it that way because they took out 'mass storage mode' on this firmware.
I then tried to flash a stock ROM in Odin but every time I tried it would fail until I used Odin.v1.3, but guess what, it rebooted itself and my entire tablet is still exactly the same.
(the option was on AP ram in v1.3 not AP nand I don't know if that makes a difference.)
If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it so much. I have been trying for weeks to fix this and I just don't know what to do anymore, I tried on another forum but nobody answered me.
Everyone else gets replies and I get zilch; amazing. I don't know what it is that is preventing my tablet from wiping itself but it refuses to clear the current data no matter what way I try (ROM, factory reset, computer format). If someone could just tell me what that is and what I have to do about it that would be grand.
You mention "rooted " but you don't mention what current rom or past roms that you may have flashed, you could have some sort of rom cluster [email protected]$k going on in your tab but NO one else will ever be able to help because of lack of INFO or history.

I standard rooted it from Odin. This is my first ROM I am trying to flash. I just need to know what would prevent a tablet from rebooting itself properly. Factory reset, format and flash is not working so I must assume that rebooting is the issue here.
If you are running stock rooted rom and having issues like this the only way out is reflashing the stock firmware complete (not just a rom) and see if that fixes it before you try any other roms.
If you can get into download mode thats the fix.

To flash it completely do I need more than an MD5 file? (I also have the partition file for my model). Another question, if the tablet is having issues with the reboot after a flash, will updating from a microSD with a zip help? Thanks for the advice.
I had the 'Can't Establish a reliable connection to the server' issue on my Xperia SP [C5302, Android 4.3, Build - 12.1.A.1.205, and rooted, of course]. So, I tried factory reset and it didn't work until I installed Lucky Patcher and reset the hosts file to original state. Now, Google Play works.
But there's another problem. On the first boot after reset, wifi worked fine. But ever since I rebooted it, wifi has stopped working. The wifi slider is kinda unresponsive (have a look at the screenshots I've attached).
Does anyone have any solution?
Restored using recovery. Problem solved.
Okay, after trying many different things in vain, finally restored my phone using an old backup I had. Done!
Same issue with any JB rom used with multirom as secondary rom. Searching for resolution please...
