Hi people,
I am kind of a noob on this matters, i have searched a way to solve the problem but with no success.
I have a GT-I9000 with 2.3.4 XXJVR, its allready rooted, have CWM but no idea how its used...
I was thinking in upgrade to 4.0.3, its said to be the best so far, i wanna some help because i dont know what rom and kernel to use, a rooted kernel... have afraid to brick the phone. If you can help me with that i aprecciated.
In your opinion, do you think its worth? i heard its a lot of bugs so i am a little upprehensive with the possible result.
Thanks in advance.
i'm by no means an expert, but i've done this with mine and didn't regret it (only issues i've had are gps and facebook sync of contact list - tho i seem to be alone on that last one)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462035
there are instructions about halfway down the page.
all you really need to do is go restart to recovery or restart and hold the key combination to get there (i think it's home, vol down)
once there, nav the text based menus using the volume keys to do up + down and the power button to select.
it isn't super difficult, and the worst thing that i had happen was i had to put my phone into download mode and hook it up to odin. not the end of the world
And what about the gps problem? What is the problem with it?

Evening all,
Looking for a bit of direction. I'm new to this all, so please do forgive my lack thereof understanding. Okay, so I rooted the phone and installed clockworkmod along with superwipe, a specific radio (was on the page + recommended ) along with android revolution hd 3.6.1.
Can someone explain to me what a ROm is? I'm assuming it's the Android Revolution HD bit I now have on my phone + overclocked processor, etc. yes? Also, I stumbled upon the forums after purchasing an Anker battery. Are ROMs specific to OE parts? IE can I run the anker battery with my phone + custom ROM with no issues? Lastly, (lol) can someone please tell me how clockworkmod works? I installed it mainly after reading various threads. I don't even understand what's it's freaking for! The clockworkdmod isn't the actual ROOT, is it? I honestly can't seem to figure out what makes rooting so special -- aside from the fact that it's overclocked now. I thought rooting would be equivalent to jail breaking -- getting free apps, etc.. What exactly can I do with the phone, now ROOTED? Thanks for reading fellas! Would GREATLY and sincerely appreciate your time and information!

A rom is the firmware that the phone is running. Actually, clockworkmod is a recovery, you can access to it by powering off your device and then pressing volume down + power button. With it, you can backup and restore your current rom in case something goes wrong when you flash a new rom or other stuff.

Before you do that make sure that you go to settings then power and make sure that fast boot is off... Some roms come with an advanced power menu so when you trying to power down to go to recovery some you can restart and have it go right to recovery
This is one app youll want for sure and heres a vid to show you how it works

Hey guys
I don't know where else to post this since I am considered "new" in XDA and cant post it in Development forum. So I am posting it here in the general section.
I have a 1008 batch Captivate on Stock 2.1. The 1008 batch looses its 3 button combo for recovery and download everytime you use ODIN One click for stock 2.1 and so I applied the 3 button fix. For now, the 3 button and 2 button combos work fine. Now I want to install the Mosaic 8 ROM.
As a part of the process, I was told to apply the the AT&T GB Bootloader from I897UCKF1 and the Dark_Core Kernel using ODIN3. My friend told me that before I can apply the ROM, I will face a boot loop and so I need to use 3 button fix to get into recovery and apply my new ROM.
My question is will the 3 button fix stay on the phone even though I will be applying a new bootloader and kernel? If not, is there an alternate approach without the boot looping? Because with boot loop and no 3 button combo, I will have to use the jig and go back to stock 2.1
Thanks
Once you flash the gingerbread boot loaders, your three button combo will be fixed.
Great!!! Thanks for the clarification.

For future reference, first questions are in q&a not general, and if your question has to do with a specific ROM there are stickies on the top of that section for each ROM.
I know you're new, just a helpful tip, not waving my internets at you or anything
Btw enjoy mosaic
Hello people,
I am working on a small project and I couldn't think of a better place to ask for help!
We are using an ONDA VX580W 5 inch tablet for our project and we need to modify it in such a way that, it always remains ON.
It is using an AXP209 Power management chip. My main question is, can this modification be done in the software itself (the kernel maybe?). For example it is getting it's power from the USB. The USB is removed and battery drains out. As soon as the USB is plugged back in, it should boot up automatically, without the need to press the power button.
We have tried a bunch of methods, using hardware modifications and playing around with the voltage. But I am just curious to find out if it can be modified in the software itself, and I need the developers' expertise to guide me.
Can the kernel be modified so that, it boots up if it is receiving power without pressing the button?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry, should've posted this under Android Q&A! Mods please help move.
Let me phrase the question another way..
Does the android kernel have access to the power management chipset so that I can decide when the tablet goes on and off from the kernel software itself?
ICS Custom ROM for Onda V580W
Hi, sorry if I may seem to stealing your thread, but i'm new and as the rules state, I have to post my problem in a thread that is already created, if it is similar to my problem. My problem is this, I have that same exact tablet as you do, but I'm looking for a custom ROM for ICS (Ice-cream sandwitch), the only ones I could find are either for GingerBread or Froyo. As this is my dad's device since he asked me to make it work as the stock firmware sucks a lot, he wanted me to find a custom rom but he really would like it to be for ICS rather than GB/Froyo.
Once again excuse me for hi-jacking the thread.
soo i dont even know what todo or even where to ask... everything i search on multiple websites is irrelevant.. im probably looking in the wrong places.. any help or a finger in the right direction would be amazing..
i have a boost branded htc one sv that ive had rooted for over a year. havent done much with my root capabilities other then enable my wifi tether and install useful apps that require root.. havent really messed with to many roms or anything too crazy.
well i soon relized that after i rooted it when i lost battery power the phone would boot into my teamwin recovery mod and freeze... it would still charge however just wouldnt respond. after a bit i would just pull that battery to get out of the frozen screen, boot into the bootloader and select recovery. then the TWRP would actually respond when it booted! just selected reboot system and off i went until the next time i completely wore out the battery. this was annoying but didnt bother me too much because everything still worked fine..
now about month or two ago while trying out some new apps my phone randomly shut off.. then after that everytime it started back up it has about enough time to load everything up and shuts off again.. and again and again stuck in a reboot loop.. ive tried deleteing temp files and checking what logs i can find but nothing helped.. the only way i can get out of this loop is to do a factory restore/wipe using the recovery mod. then the phone works normally again and i still have root.
but now wether or not i install anything after the reset, if i have a power loss i go through the same thing as normal starting it up as i always have done and it goes right back into the reboot loop.. here i go with yet another reset.... ive pushed this issue to the back of my todo list many times due to a very busy schedule recently but its very aggravating and i dont know how to go about fixing..

Thanks i couldnt find the forum for my phone... such a huge and awesome place to find info just hard to locate sometimes.. i already had that index thread bookmarked from before but i suppose ill give it another look.
if a admin or mod wants to move this thread to that q&a forum go for it.. not trying to double post but im still looking for a answer..
i would atleast like to know what i did or what went wrong for me to have these issues in the first place.
have elephone p2000 with some custom rom on it and working stock recovery. than i flash new rom called resrom 1.5, rooted BUT internal storage is access denied and 0kb. Just to say that my usb port is broken and will be hard to replace it because someone was trying to make it work and totaly screwed up.
So anyway I cannot connect to a pc and fix things. Next, cant access recovery, tried to flash new one but to no avail. I am still rooted but even when using some apk to flash new rom or recovery i get msgs like "not enough space" or nothing is happening.
info on the phone:

BUILD P2000_20150228_RESTORN
Play store ok, calls and the rest is fine, apk i am using: mobileuncle, rashr, auto flasher but nothing gets job done, flashyfy doesn't work and many others. I was looking into init files saw some guide but don t want to mess things even more so i gave up, also wanting to flash boot.img but no proper or functional apk for it.
somethimes on phone start stuck in a loop of screen turn on for 20 sec and then off and its like that until i remove battery, all before rom logo, same thing if i try use buttons combination for recovery or whatever i press in any combination nothing changes.
This is not my first smartphone but is of this kind and funny companies, had problems before with Sony, Samsung but in this extent never, always find YOU guys everybody clever in some fields and as a community more than THE BEST, as you can see i dont post or seek answers by asking, i rather research until now. I fell hopeless, useless and never more stupid, or i m just tired of looking for the answer. In some other case i would give it to my child to play the games an to hell with this phone but its my wife's and she dont want to by a new phone for some reason. Help me to be the man of the house again, kidding, loosing it....
I think I gave you overall picture of the phone state and someone might show me the way to have fully working phone. I forgot, if you are wondering how do i charge battery, well I take it out twice a day and charging on the base of other broken phone, that part i did cover, help me with the rest.
p.s my SD card is working most of the time so this is my only connection to a pc....
