I don't know if I posted this in the right place, but its a last ditch plea for help.
I've been trying to get my Samsung Focus updated to Tango, specifically to resolve the stupid keyboard bug. I'm on AT&T and they're not giving me anything past 7720. So I used windowbreak, and loaded wp7 root tools, and changed my carrier to Rogers.
This allowed me to pick up 7740, which installed fine.
It then prompted me to install 8107, and during step 7 - while installing, it would suddenly cut to step 1 of 2, "restarting your phone". After restarting it would tell me that error 80070017 had occurred.
I've searched and searched and searched, and none of the solutions I've seen work (most of which are from last year in attempts to install 7720). There are a ton of Nokia users also getting this error trying to get to 8773 recently, and nothing to help them.
Maybe someone here has seen and gotten around this.
Thanks in advance.

I posted the following item in the "Beginners instructions thread" last week, but only one person has responded. I am trying to repost again in the hope that more people will see it and that someone will have experienced this previously:-
I have read countless threads on this site and have finally decided to upgrade my O2 XDA from WM5 to WM6.
I have found the instructions for doing this, but have fallen at the first hurdle.
The mobile update utility cannot connect to my Wizard, (error 222). I am still able to sync with active sync, so my pda is seeing and being seen by the pc.
Is there anything that I can do to at least get started please?
P.S. I have tried downloading lokiwiz, but that doesn't work either. I tried searching google for it, but that only brings me back to this site.
Is it actually possible to upgrade or am I missing something really stupid?
P.P.S
I have now done a hard reset. The only thing that I have changed is the date and time. This is now an O2 Exec, completely as it came out of the factory. I am using Active Sync 4.5. Why can I not connect to the button rom?
im not too sure what your issue is but i think you will get an answer on ppcgeeks.com. i use this site and that one. you have a lot of experts between the 2 sites
Thanks aman1127, my main problem is that the mobile update utility cannot connect to my Wizard, (error 222). I am still able to sync with active sync, so my pda is seeing and being seen by the pc.
I have read all the warnings about turning your Wizard into a brick, I can't even get it to do that!
I have checked the help tab on the Mobile Updat Utility, but that gives me "error 404"
Is there a proper way to upgrade my device using software and instructions that are up to date?
I'll have a look at the other site as well. Many thanks for your help.
I upgraded my AT&T Samsung Captivate from Froyo to Gingerbread a couple weeks ago, when AT&T released it. I had nothing but problems with it - my phone would reboot repeatedly, it would freeze multiple times a day. I tried factory resets, GSM resets, removing apps, nothing helped. My phone was basically unusable. I gave up and took it to a local AT&T Service Center. They seemed very aware of the problems, and recommended reverting it back to Froyo. I had them go ahead and do it. They got Froyo back on it, although they somehow broke the Contacts. Each time they pressed the Contacts icon the phone would Force Close. The "tech" didn't know what to do about it, and recommended that I go to the AT&T Retail Store and see if I was eligible to buy a new phone! Once home, I did a Factory Reset (from the Menu button), which resolved the Contacts issue.
I'm OK with having Froyo instead of Gingerbread. There are a couple features I like better in Froyo anyway (Data Network Mode off the power button, Silent option from the pulldown menu). The only thing I miss is the ability to install non-Market apps. I figured the easiest way to get that would be to root the phone (I had rooted a previous Captivate, but didn't do this one after it was replaced, since I was waiting for the Gingerbread update). Anyway, I downloaded the latest version of SuperOneClick and installed it, but when I try to run it I get an error message, saying that SOC stopped working and Windows is looking for a solution. I’ve tried running it on Win7 32 bit and Vista 32 bit machines with the same results. I’ve tried running it as an Administrator. I’ve Allowed it when asked for permission. Is there something I'm missing in order to get the program to run? I know there are other ways to root it, and other ROMs that I could run that people here would say are way better. I like SOC because it's fast, easy, and allows me to unroot if necessary. Froyo does what I need it to do, so I don't need a different ROM. Can someone just please tell me what I need to do to get SuperOneClick to run?
BTW, before anyone suggests it, before even trying to root I called AT&T Tech Support and asked them to push a patch which would allow me to install non-Market apps. After 1 hour and 22 minutes on the phone, in which the tech consulted his manager, and a higher level tech support in Alabama, they determined that it could not be sent to my phone (just kept saying Pending). They really couldn't explain why it wouldn't work, just that it wouldn't. Rooting seems to be my best and easiest bet.

Moving to Q&A
I managed to get SuperOneClick running and was able to root my phone. I think the problem was that I had downloaded multiple versions in my attempt to get it to work and they weren't playing together well.
Maybe it could be a driver incident... check it how to fix it dude.
Hi guys. Love this site but I am encountering some issues! I am having problems with the drivers (it appears), of my p990h. I am new to android (only had my device a week), and have duly thrown myself in the deep end to try and make the most from the device and have encountered some issues. I am in Colombia and bought the phone here. I ‘rooted’ the device using the ‘Super One Click’ method and had no issues. I then performed the fatory reset and installed the ‘Cm9.0.0-rco-p990-unofficial’ rom (build [email protected]). I didn’t experience issues up to this point. However (and i know i messed up here), i then flashed baseband version 1035.21_20110725 using smartflash. Big mistake as then the time on the phone changed all to European time, and now although the device can be read by my computer, it cannot connect to it and a yellow exclamation appears on the device in device manager. I have tried everyway to update this, but no joy. Tried reflashing with smartflash, but now nothing happens when the phone is connected (nothing appears in the ‘coms port’ box). If i use the lg tool, it doesn’t even list my p990 as a device whose drivers i can download.
So basically I would like to know if anyone can help me:
a) get the drivers working properly again so I can connect the device and update.
And
b) if anyone can get me the 1035.21_20110602 baseband files to go back to how it was previously. Have looked everywhere but no luck. I downloaded one, but i cant seem to find a way to use use it (it appears as a clockworkmod folder and macosx folder. I haven’t used them as i couldn’t figure out how!
May i need to re-root my device, could this be the issue? This had occurred to me that the superuser settings may have something to do with this.
I also want to be able to restore my phone to its stock settings as i really need my camera back up and going properly whilst here in Colombia.
I have spent the last week trawling these forums reading everyone’s posts and learning from you guys, so a big thanks out there to you all who have got me this far – many thanks. Seems like a great community and im looking forward to getting more involved, and learning about the murky waters of android (even though im having some difficulties i love it!) . I apologise for any poor wording and general noobiness that may cause any misunderstanding! I will try and answer any questions/replies i may get as accurately as possible.
I really hope someone can help me as I cant keep going in circles – i have a 12 hour bus ride tomorrow so gotta get it done.
Many thanks in you lovely people!
try flash a new rom CM7
Hello all,
I'm sorry, but I couldn't find any device-related subforum for the Samsung Galaxy Rugby (GT-S5690M). If my questions are in the wrong section, please move it to the right place (mods)?
So here's the story: I just got my first smartphone. Since it's locked to Bell, it has some bloatware and need for sim-unlocking. I did a lot of reading and through some tutorials I managed to root Android and got rid of some bloatware (just four Bell apps). So far so good! Then I tried to unlock the phone. There are some apps in the Google Play that state that they can unlock the phone for free ("works on various Galaxy models").
I tried them out, but none of them could provide a solution. The last app I tried (Galaxy_S Unlock) requested that BusyBox were to be installed, so I did. During the installation the app remarked that already some BusyBox version was installed, but not the version that it was trying to install. I was suppose to try another type of installing (I used the normal/safe mode). But it said it was already installed, so good enough. Right? I tried the unlocking app again, but it still said it had errors getting to communicate with BusyBox. None of the unlocking apps gave me the impression that they changed anything in the system.
I figured that maybe a reboot of the phone would fix this. However, now the phone got several issues:
- booting takes forever (18 minutes) It does the animated Samsung logo (though, not with sound any more) and then keeps on slowing the glowing Samsung name.
- the speaker doesn't seem to be working at all
- it can no longer check for updates. After agreeing with the disclaimer, it says it can't connect.
- KIES doesn't see the phone any more.
- the phone is generally very slow now. Even when typing a password the phone sometimes hangs for about 5-10 seconds. Loading the disclaimer for the Software Updater takes 10-15 seconds.
I tried to reset to factory defaults and reload the rooting zip file again, but to no avail.
I've been trying to read up on the isolated symptoms, but I'm simply starting to feel overloaded with all the info, especially since I'm a Android newbie.
Does anybody recognize these symptoms and, more important, has any tips on what to try to restore whatever has gone wrong?
Additionally, I would really be interested in knowing if there's a way to force-upgrade to Jelly Bean. It appears that this firmware hasn't been made available to Rugby users yet through the regular update channels. But are there alternatives?
Thanks in advance!
I'm going on a well educated guess that the EM756 is a very unpopular tablet, but I have a hard time believing that it's so unpopular that NO ONE has attempted rooting it.
Going on that hope (what little is left), let me explain why I'm having such a hard time.
I updated the tablet to the latest Android version. Somehow in doing so, it deleted all my accounts. I am unable to add a new one at all as I get the error "Unable to establish reliable connection". Rebooting my router and the device didn't work, nor did switching to another network. I have tried various workarounds and trick to work past it, but without having a google account to sign in with, the tablet is pretty useless as an account is needed to access things like the play store.
I finally read somewhere that there is a line of code I need to delete to get past the error or something to that effect, but to do it I need to root the tablet.
Every "One Click" tool I have used has failed (I've tried about 9 so far I think). The closest I got was using this guide on the forums here. My issue with that one is the programs provided don't see my device even after switching from MTP to PTP (At which point my computer doesn't recognize the device anyway)
I have spent a combined time of 16 hours trying to do this to no avail.... Any help would be nice by this point.
Bump.

Hi
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
I believe kingroot works on the EM756 > Android Development and Hacking > Android Apps and Games > [ROOT ANDROID][2.x-5.1] KINGROOT: The One-Click Root Tool for Almost All Devices . I noticed another user in that thread got it to work.
Good luck
