[Q] After Firmware upgrade, SgS2 keep restarting - General Questions and Answers

Hi Need some advice here. Yesterday i have successful upgrade my SGS2 firmware to the latest by using latest Kies (Country : Malaysia). But after that my SGS2 keep restarting after a message pop up : Sorry, you encountered network error. Please verify your connection and try again.
Later that i spend a lot of time and figure out it was actually crash on some of my existed application after the firmware upgrade. My SGS2 has totally of 134 applications, i am headache to figure out which application is actually cause the restarting . As such i tried to divide the application into 4 section (134/4) to transfer into the .android_secure folder. The first section successfully transferred without any restart issue. But the second , third and forth section having restarting issues. As you know that the .asec are not allow to copy by using usb cable. So every time i do the remove and move in the files and sd card to phone i totally spend more than 20 times to do this. But haven't finish figure out the culprit application.
If you have better solution for this case, please highly advice me. I scare i keep remove and move in the sd card will cause my phone hardware failure one day . Appreciate a lot.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

Really need some help now. I am not sure is it cause by my router setting? Or what?? Due to too many application will cause the restarting issue, then i have not copy back some of the old application back to phone. What i did is reinstall back from the android market . The phone have been stable for awhile until i tried to open an old application which will link to a youtube page, then the same error message (refer to red word on the first thread above) and same restarting again..... huhu... now the thing make me so confuse is , is this cause by my router setting more or the latest firmware is not stable enough??? .... Anyone please advice. I am Malaysian and using Malaysia firmware to upgrade. You may check if there is a bug in the latest firmware version ( i couldn't remember the version).
Thanks and appreciate.

CM 4.2.1 / CM4.1.99x Exception with contact group

Exception with Contacts - so like as in 4.1.99x
I have the same problem as in 4.1.99x, that I can not add a contact in my group (there is still ony one, which was working after some crashes in 4.1.999) without a crashed application
If I look into the exception Monitor, I can found a lot of:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to find the My Contacts group"

What can I do or must do ?
History: I have had the G1 not so long time, but modif. it via WIPE to the 4.0.x ( stable )
After this (2 days later I upgrade to 4.1.111)
from this status I was following the description with the 2 Step to 4.1.999, where I have see the error the first time. With 4.0.x / 4.1.111 I haven't recognize this problem, because I have add some friend in my contact-list. For my meaning, this one was coming in, during upgrade in the 3 steps: WIPE, Google-Recovery, CM-Update 4.1.999.
Hint: If I update the phone, I start the phone WITHOUT a Mobile-Card: because I have had one time a bill over 200€ for data connection, and nobody knows why. So I boot the phone after update without card, check APNdroid, if 3G etc. disabed, shut down the phone, insert the casrd and boot again.
Maybe this handling calls the error ?

Post in the right section.
Also, try searching before you post. After you do that, post in the RIGHT SECTION.
Then, try dropping to recovery, wipe, wipe ext, fix ext, then reflash. And boot, yes, with your card in place. It won't kill you to do it once.
(Oh, and post in the right section, please. )
First of all: If you mean the "Dream Q&A" will be the right the Thread. pls let the Mod/ Admin move this one.
Back to the problem:
YES, I have use the search function and didn't found any usefull infos.
>>> ( how does I love this answer! If you found time to write this one, than I think, you know the answer - pls give me this one )
YES. I have reflashed the 4.2.1 with the card inside the phone: No change
Btw.: I was falling also in the error with the ext2 and ext3, so I change this one on the PC via tune2fs. But normaly every program, which need a DB and did not found it, create one. Or isn't it ?
What should you do?
Post in the right section
Done

Now I hope, that the thread does not goes under ... without solve the problem.

Yeah good luck with that. Posting anything in the QA section is like talking to a brick wall. At least amongst all of the beratings, you sometimes get an answer in the Dev section. Honestly, I have had much better luck on the T-Mobile forums than here.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S Showcase Questions

Hey there. There is no Showcase forum so I thought I'd stick this here. I just switched to Android from the iPhone and I'm liking what I've discovered so far. I rooted right away and started working and experimenting with Android (of course, I'm somewhat nervous about a potential brick). Anyway, I had a few questions/concerns and I was hoping that those of you that are more experienced with Android could help me out.
1. Concerning ROM Manager: I tried to create a backup and failed due to and error: "failed to verify whole file signature." No idea what this means or how to fix it.
2. The one click lag fix will not work on my phone. I get an error about "no space left on device." However, I have 1.36GB on the internal phone storage and 6.27GB on the SD card.
3. My girlfriend got an HTC Desire and was able to download Mobile Banking for Android and Cut the Rope. Neither of these applications appear in my market interface. The mobile banking app appears in AppBrain, but when I try to load it from the market, it cannot be located.
4. I have an "update.zip" on my SD card and I've no idea where it came from. Can I delete it? Attempting to apply it in recovery mode causes an error.
5. One reason that I wanted to root was to unload the crapware Cellular South included with the phone. I have done this. I was an idiot and did not make any sort of backup of the phone in its orignal state. If I want to reset to factory settings from recovery mode, is this mistake (or any other that I may have made along the way) going to brick me? I had thought about a restore because it has been so finicky with the lag fix, backups, and market, but I'm afraid to do so. I am also concerned that I caused these issues with my inexperience and may like to start from scratch.
6. How in the world would I update to Froyo, and would I want to?
All help is appreciated!
Bumping this up.

i bought the same phone and would love to know if this root method works for this phone, it has the same MTK6577 CPU as the haipai X710D
Hi all. I am a new registered. My name is Filippo and I'm Italian (sorry for my English googltraslate).
In a few days I will come to me x710d. I wanted to ask you questions.
1) What improvements does the root of the phone? Have to wait at the root with the update to Android 4.1 bj?
2) Before you root, I have to make a backup / image of the system for use in case I have a problem? If it is, how should I do it?
3) This root change the size of the internal memory or I'll do it later? In the second case, how can I swap the memory card with the internal one?
The last question is that there is risk in doing these operations? You advise me to do to its?
Excuse my inexperience and thank you all in advance.
Thank you so much for posting this. The Flash tool is quite confusing to use. Your instructions really helped.

Success or Failure
I have tried many ways\suggestions to root my X710D and this is the only one I have not yet tried.
Before I do try this procedure It would be helpful if people that have done this on the X710D could report their success or failure.
I would like to know this because I do not know enough and do not want the get into more trouble with the device.
Thanks for sharing your experiences....
I successfully rooted my x710d using the steps given. Before I rooted my phone, I updated it to the latest 4.0.9 (latest firmware is in another forum read here).
This root also comes with the custom recovery (probably taken from HTC because there is an HTC boot screen logo). However, I encountered three main problems after the I successfully executed everything.
First, my IMEI got erased (solved this using ZOPO). (read here there is an explanation how to put your IMEI's back. )
Second, external Sd-card gets no write permissions and also it errors damaged sd-card from time to time (still finding ways to solve this).
Third; Since, I live in Japan, I am still finding ways how to enable MMS on this thing through sofbank.
for the good side;
Rooted phone is awesome.
This phone is quite fast for its price especially with the new firmware.
Sofbank APN settings where automatically there already (I dunno if this was because of ICS or X710d firmware just came in with these settings). Everything else is working very well. Camera, Bluetooth, GPS, WIFI, Radio, etc....
GreatPharaoh Thanks for such a clear and detailed post, this is what makes XDADevelopers such a great community.
Your reply is just what I needed to hear, me being new to this platform.
I purchased one of these as a development machine with the intention of using it as my phone also, but I had been highlighted that some sellers just are not in a position to support the products they sell. We also order two more from another seller to edge our bets on delivery times, but when we discovered some issues and the second seller also demonstrated that they have poor after sales support when managed to cancel these additional two X710D (with an insulting response from this seller).
I my case I asked very specific questions about the product and got nothing but positive replies before purchase, in addition I needed the device to have a working compass and magnetic sensor which also received a "Yes" but once we confirmed payment communication with the delivery and questions dried up. Once delivered, we found that while the X710D does have a Compass and Magnetic sensor they are not implemented.
Now we are concerned about the IMEI bug and these seller does not want to know about it.
So, while we accepted some risk in purchasing a Chinese phone at reasonable price, we really are concerned about this model and did not anticipate the amount of risk.
Now being a software developer (not Android or Linux) I had the approach the we can fix anything, but at this time in a new OS world it has proven to be again high risk and we can not afford to brick this device. So we have decided to return it for a refund.
I will continue to monitor these posts, because I am keen to see if things get resolved and to learn from the experiences of others. It is great to see many members with far greater skills than mine helping each other.
I have also had great hand-holding from ColonelZap through some of out attempts to resolve these issues, so a huge thanks to him.
Again thanks GreatPharaoh for a great post and I am sure that it will help others looking at the X710D and maybe they will find a solution to your remaining issues.

The X710D is a copy of the HTC Evo 4g LTE which will explain the boot logo.
Thank you for mentioning the sd card issue, i bought a rather expensive 32gb class 10 card to find it didnt work in my phone. Its very difficult to get it to work and when it does work my phone cant write to it. If you find a fix ill update the maim post.
Ive noticed lots of people mentioning issues with their imei codes. I havent come across this issue but there is a fix at post 3. Ill update the main post with it later.
Im posting from my phone sp sorry for typing errors. Whats th best keyboard for this phone? Im currently usibg swype but as you can see its.pretty bad. The defaultkeyboard it even more difficult to type.on

Lost IMEI on x710D
Is this issue of losing IMEI only related to the X710D or is this a common problem with Chinese Android phones?
Once again, deepest Thanks to Jaw2Floor for posting the steps.
@Technica; yup, I couldn't agree with you more about these sellers. Seems like these phones where probably manufactured in someones old garage with one or two developers who couldn't do much english. And they would just send em to these vendors for retail. These sellers, However, are so smart with marketing, they would flood youtube and google with fake reviews (although most of em are just unboxings) and lead us with just curiosities. This is probably why they are so good at selling but very bad in support. Long story short, we are only paying for the hardware here.
For the Imei case: I wonder why everyone is not having this problem..?. Maybe this is also hardware related. This was the first problem I faced right after my first ever Factory Default Reset on the phone. I was so terrified that moment, I thought I bricked or fried the modem.
The Sd-card issue is still there: "My temporary fix is reformat card in PC and recopy your media. Do this every time you get the damaged sd-card error."
I can access my card with read permissions only. My media gallery and other media apps can see the card and the contents. However, as soon as I start to write the card (e.g. making new folder or deleting a file from any file explorer app) the "Damaged sd-card error" will start to appear and you wont be able to get rid of this until you take the card out, format it in your PC, recopy all your media, then mount it again in your x710d. This is what ive been doin for the past couple of days to enjoy music in this phone.
The Headphone Jack is also too deep. If you compare side by side the stock headphone/mic with any other regular headphone, this one came in with a much longer jack. I was able to fix this problem by widening the headphone hole on the phone's back casing and also splicing an mm of rubber on my regular headphone jack.
The stock Email-app are having problems setting up with Yahoo's mail servers. So, im using K-9 mail for now.
As for now, I am enjoying this phone. I get a lot of eye's whenever I take this out of my pocket in Tokyo trains. Its not a note! Its the money-saver version.

Lenovo IdeaTab a2107

Hello everyone,
I bought this tablet on ebay and it seems that the ROM preinstalled is a test ROM.
I searched the web to find a custom ROM but I couldn't find much info.
I found the way to root the tablet but that's all.
Is there anyone who can indicate me a link to a stock rom or a good custom one?
Thanks for those who will read and help!
What do you mean by TEST ROM?!!! this is ridiculous, I have the tablet and it's working like a charm even I received over air update yesterday, the only odd is that I can't use it as a phone because Lenovo has no license yet for that it's available only in the Chinese version, and I think this will be solved later when they start launching their mobile phones all over the world.
Hello mmis,
Test rom is not the correct terms but I didn't know how to call that !
The problem is that every widget I put on the desktop is loading but never display anything.
The information in "About tablet" are the following :
Model number : IdeaTab A2107A-H
Android Version : 4.0.3
Baseband version : MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V13, 2012/05/25 01:09
Build number : A2107A-H_S307_120605
If I search for system updates, it doesn't find anything. If I click on firmware update, the settings FC.
I made a factory reset but no luck.
That's why I thought it wasn't a stable version.
As long as you tried the factory reset with no luck, I think in your case its better to get back to Lenovo customer service or your local dealer if it's under warranty, they should be able to help you. it's a new device in the market and it will be difficult to find custom ROM for a while or even someone to give model-specific help. Good Luck
Would you mind linking to the instructions on how to root this thing?
Sure, no problem !
After several hours of search and difficulties to register onto Chinese websites
I managed to find the attached file. I take no credit for the tool because it was developped by someone else (SNARL I guess)
It was missing the superuser apk inside so I put it back and also translate the steps to English.
Here are the steps :
- Connect the tablet in Debug USB mode
- Launch root.bat
- The device will reboot at each of the 3 steps
If you need more info, don't mind to ask!
Here is the link of the original thread :

Fantastic, thank you very much.
LePad Chinese Model A2107A-H
I have a Chinese issue model of the A2107A-H that has the dual sim card cellular feature. I've been trying to get it rooted to get rid of the Chinese apks on it, but normal rooting software has not been successful so far, including the one posted here from SNARL via Ichi go's post. I get a "device not found" error message and in device manager on my PC it indicates that there is no driver installed for the device. I have "debug" turned on and the USB link seems to be working as I can see file folders on the device, but the rooting software will not run. I've tried several of the most well known methods with no luck. Any ideas on this would be appreciated and in particular, if there is a driver I need to have installed to get the rooting software to work??
TIA!!!
Rob
First of all many thanks to you ichi go it was very easy to root this device as instructed, but as the one I have does not have the phone calling capability, I replaced the phone.apk with different one but now the device does not recognize the sim card at all, I tried to push many versions of phone.apk to system folder with no luck, it seems even if I put the apk in the system folder the device will not launch it at all, could you please help me in that.
I've had this tablet for a while and love it. I just got the OTA update and its downloading now.
I'm a also keen on rooting it and inns installing a custom ROM. I guess once its a bit more common, we can expect a dedicated Dev community here on XDA
The update failed to install. I'm not rooted or anything but upon restart it gave a signature verification error.
Any way to fix this?
Edit: got it! was a path error since i had changed the default storage.
but i can't figure out any changes

How does your device appear in the device manager? For sure, the adb driver isn't installed. If it's not the case, download android sdk and then the Google USB driver in the extra section.

First of all many thanks to you ichi go it was very easy to root this device as instructed, but as the one I have does not have the phone calling capability, I replaced the phone.apk with different one but now the device does not recognize the sim card at all, I tried to push many versions of phone.apk to system folder with no luck, it seems even if I put the apk in the system folder the device will not launch it at all, could you please help me in that.

I didn't try to make phone calls for now with it but I will test and come back to you if I find something interesting.

FM Tuner - perfect for in-dash?
The in-dash car tablet people should be happy to hear the A2107 has an FM Tuner. It's one of the few tablets that has a radio tuner, and the only modern 7" that I know of. I just ordered one. I will report back.
The Chinese stock rom I installed has the phone ability and that works very well! The problem of this stock rom is that the Google services aren't there. I'm trying to find a way to install the zip file but I need to know the exact path of the recovery partition.
I tried to find it with the cat /proc/emmc command but this partition isn't listed.
If anyone has an idea...

So I understood that you managed to flash the Chinese stock ROM, am I right?!! please tell me how to do as I am facing serious problems with my device, I managed to root and then I changed the phone.apk (what the hell I was thinking of) and now I have the the error message android.process.acore stopped working and sometimes the sittings force closed, I tried to re root, factory reset and deleting cache of almost everything with no use, even I contacted the Lenovo CS to reinstall the original firmware, I think they will charge me for that :crying:
by the way I don't have contacts anymore (I installed it manually) and the most impressive thing that the device doesn't recognize the SIM card (I cleverly deleted the original one phone.apk :silly and what ever apk I push into the system/app folder and change the permissions it will not install after reboot.
So...what do you think guys?!! any help?
I've confirmed this does work on the A2107-F.
I had some trouble with the ADB driver. I can't post links, so you will have to google it, but I used adb_driver_20110720.zip for the drivers. I forced it to install via Update Driver > Browse my computer > let me pick > have disk > pointed to the android_winusb.inf file > selected the thinkpad option, it was the bottom of the two.
I also had to manually turn the tablet back on after the first reboot, but it went fine after that.

[Q] How to find the exact insecure kernel for my Samsung Galaxy S Duos S7562?

Hi! I'm not an IT guy. But, I want to root my Samsung Galaxy S Duos S7562, because I can't transfer my applications to my microSD card. This is the only reason I'm rooting, so if anyone has a solution by which I can transfer my applications to my SD card without rooting, please share.
Now, I know that I can brick my phone if I make a mistake (my knowledge on rooting is limited; I've read a little on Internet), still I want to root it, because without transferring applications to my SD card, I can't optimize my phone. Sometimes, it hangs while calling also. So, if I can't even use my phone for basic purposes (forget playing games or downloading a number of useful applications), there is not much use of the phone. However, I can't sell it off and buy a better phone right now. Plus, I'm very much interested in learning how to root. So, I would rather try it on my current phone, than later spoil some expensive android phone.
I tried rooting my phone through "one click rooting" by MoboGenie. Even after 7 tries, rooting didn't occur (the operation is halted and either my phone or my PC restarts). So, I'm going to try rooting my phone through Odin. Currently, I'm downloading the "adt bundle" on my PC through "Ask Your HOW", for the "android sdk". The exact thing I'm downloading is "Eclipse ADT with the Android SDK for Windows". After this, I'll download the "ChainFire's root zip" and extract it. I'll follow the other steps also exactly the way they are written at "Ask Your HOW".
However, here's my problem (I hope this is the only problem I would face in the entire exercise): I don't know a) "What's an insecure kernel?", b) "Which insecure kernel do I need?" and c) "From where would I download the insecure kernel that I would need?"
I read a few threads here on this forum and somebody had asked a similar question after citing his/her kernel version. So, I would also give my kernel version here: [email protected]#1
I hope this information was helpful for prospective helpers. I know my question is too long. This is my first post on this forum. If you guys can ignore the negatives of my question and help me, it would be highly grateful.
Oh, by the way, my downloading of "adt bundle" just failed. The error was “Failed – Network Error”. I’m downloading it again.
