Hello guys. I just had an unexpected problem. i finally managed to install custom firmware (miui to be exact) and i have A BIG PROBLEM!!!
When i press the power button, in order to lock in, my phone just shuts down!
I tried installing different versions of miui, I even installed CM to to test.. but problem still apears. This means i cant use any custom firmwares, except standart one.
I saw many comments, that people saying it works and etc. but mine lock in button just shuts down the whole phone.
Huawei u8800pro
Android Version: 2.2.2
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-perf
Build number: 203026
Please, i beg you, help someone! Give atleast a tip or smth, I would appreciate any help.
I was helping him with this, since i have more expierience with flashing and rooting phones (Hey DHD and Xperia X1), and i can add that the phone was stock bought, and CWM was installed. It was not upgraded to 2.3.5 (Why would you need to do that, if you later wipe it via CWM. Or maybe that update contained some baseband update we needed?), it was just CWM installation, and then zip flashing via the menus. 2x MIUI ROM's were tryed, one CM7 ROM. All three of which were causing shutdowns when you lock the phone. I had the same problem with my DHD some time ago when running MIUI, but then it was just kernel related, so we tryed the CM7 ROM, but it was hanging too. Would be nice if someone could help.
Thank you.
First of all, hello! Since it's my first post here, and I am new to Android, I am sorry if I fail to provide all the needed information. Let's cut to the chase then!
I have an LG Optimus 3D (p920) and I am struggling to find a good ROM.
The one I have now works, but it is very slow (I only have about 60 mb RAM left, I have to keep killing processes, but they come right back).
The details are:
Model Number:
LG-P920
Android version:
2.3.5
Baseband version:
L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00
Kernel version:
2.6.35.7+
Build Number:
GRJ90
Software Version:
LGP920-V21e-Apr-19-2012
I have been lurking around the forums in search for other ROMs, and I tried some of them, but most got me to the same problem.
I tried CyanogenMod and a couple of other ROMs and this is what happens:
Using CyanogenMod I get a connection to the provider but it goes out randomly and, although it still shows me I got a signal, I am unable to make or receive calls.
With other ROMs, the problem persists, I am unable to connect to my mobile network, this time being represented just by the crossed signal bars.
I have just tried ThiaiZO3DV2.7,1GB, which lead to no connection.
Also, I tried JellyBam, but I am unable to complete even the first configuration (After completing it, the phone asks for a reboot - if I manage to get that far) and then keeps restarting every time it boots.
I've read around that this might be a baseband problem, I downloaded GetRil on all the softwares I tried. I allow it to have superuser privileges, I download and install the recommended baseband, reboot, still no network connection.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your time!
Regards, BrreaKer.
Later Edit: The ROM I am using now is a custom one, but I can't seem to remember where I got it. When I first bought the phone, it had Android 3.1.3
Also, I haven't got the slightest idea what's with Kernels ( I know what a kernel is, as a base idea, but nothing in detail )
I have a lot of things to learn about Android, and I figured this would be the best place to seek guidance.
Hello o'wise developers,
I'm a flashoholic... Switching android os all the time, for what I like the most. Using the international Samsung S4, i9505.
Long-story-short: flashed a ported version of a MIUI os that I liked, and wifi did not work. Figured it was a bad kernel, since it seems like the software had no connection what so ever with the wifi hardware. So I looked around and found a promising thread on a forum, that had what I needed. This was a .tar file that I downloaded and flashed with Odin v3.07.
Next, hard-bricked: no boot, no recovery, only Download Mode. Found a topic on xda that guided me through repairing a "dead s4". The torutial should work for both i9500 and i9505 it said. Luckily it seemed to work.
Next, soft-bricked: I flashed an old backup and got back on the horse..
At present: Mostly things works, but everytime someone calls me I get the "Android.phone stopped working" message and then hang up the caller. Also at times when just "wabbling" around doing nothing, sometimes the screen freezes and the system hangs..
I'm sure I've got the wrong files flashed down below again... On this level, I don't know what to do. Can somebody help me repair my phone?

Hello all,
Okay, I admit that I am gonna get a lot of "use the search tool first" replies, but please hear me out. I have done my fair share of searching. Its not that I haven't found anything, its just the things I found are useless for this SGS 4G. I really wanted to install Cyanogen Mo on the SGS (its not actually mine, a friend asked me to do it since he saw my old SGS GT-I9000 running CM).
I am gonna try and give a detailed report . The phone was originally from T-Mobile and now unlocked permanently. Its running firmware version 2.3.3 that I installed just recently. I found out that I can't install CWM on the stock kernel or bootloader or whatever and I needed a new of the thing. So I went on searching and searching....found a handful of help but none work. Every method breaks at some point and I go to the "firmware update failed" thing on the phone, which I then install 2.3.3 again using ODIN and try another method. I have tried a lot of things. Hemidall, ODIN, SuperOneClick, and a lot of gibbrish-sounding methods. None work. I am now running 2.3.3. Here are some infos:
ABOUT PHONE:
Model Number: SGH-T959V
Firmware Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: T959VUVKF1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-T959VUVKF1-CL270364
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.VUVKF1
The files I used to flash to 2.3.3 using ODIN v1.85:
PIT: Hawk_Sidekick_VibrantPlus_831.pit
PDA: CODE_T959VUVKF1_CL270364_REV00_user_low_noship.tar.md5
PHONE: T959VUVKF1-Phone-CL1020302.tar.md5
CSC: SGH-T959V-CSC-TMB-VIBRANTP.tar.md5
I hope the above infos are enough. So, can anyone help me and point me to the right direction on how to install CWM and then install CM10 or 9 on my friends SGS 4G?
Thanks,
Tamrat
Hmmm, an interesting set of binaries, ones that don't ring a bell with me. I'm used to seeing T959VUVKJ6.
Where did you find those? Half curiosity, half trying to understand the problem, half since much of the "old" images for the phones got lost when Multiupload and what have you were shut down.
For the SGS4G, the kernel, root file system, and recovery file system are all in "boot.img" -- flash one, you flash them all. They can be flashed through Odin (assuming you really like Windows), heimdall (multi-platform), through recovery, or from a root command line (for the adventurous only).
I would say the most robust way to get where you need to be would be to use Lumin's guide to make sure you've got a viable Gingerbread set-up going, then flash something reliable to get you to MTD, like TeamAcid's CM9.
From there, you should know that some of the KK ROMs use slightly different MTD partitioning and aren't a "just flash this ROM and keep your data" kind of thing.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A long day Googling... and then a site turned up. One thing I forgot to mention was, before I installed this firmware, I had to use the "remove battery->plug usb->press the button combos->insert the battery" to enter download mode, but now I juts have to press vol down and power button.
Thanks for the reply,
Failure again
UPDATE:::
I tried to update to 2.3.6 as the guide suggests and I also wanted a clean stock OS in case the old one was not. But once again updating to 2.3.6 has been a pain. Kies Mini recognizes the phone but it doesn't recognize the firmware running on the phone. And also, firmware update is impossible since the button is greyed out.
I googled again and found the official 2.3.6 firmware for the phone (file name: T959VUVKJ6-REV00-home-low-CL694130.tar.md5) and tried flashing it using ODIN; absolutely no luck. It fails at the stage which says Slb.bin. Restarting the phone after that gives a "firmware upgrade failure" display. Only way to wake up the phone is to flash the previous OS back.
I am really confused here.
*********************EDIT***************
Some how, after like 10 retires and fiddling with ODIN, it finally flashed 2.3.6 to the SGS 4G. Still, fingers crossed.
*********************EDIT 2***************
Finally, its all working fine now. Thank you @jeffsf, thank you very much.

forgot an important step and now my IEMI number is gone........
do i throw the phone now, or is there any other way???
Don't throw your phone away! How do you know that you have "no IMEI" on your phone? We'll go from there.
Hopefully, you've backed up your data before starting to play around with ROMS. If so just load your backed up efs folder onto your storage & use Root Explorer to drop it over your existing one , it will overwrite your imei file & you will be good as new.

I'm also in need of help, I have been running SlimSaber since last weekend, was wanting to try out Beanstalk. First full wipe, install & reboot wipe again, reinstall etc as per Dao's OP, but after the first install, it won't boot past the kernel splash. Tried again with same result. Decided to click it back to stock & start over, using Gremlin Remover (odin). Then saw that others were having similar issue so I tried to load in build from April1st.
But now it only boots back into recovery, won't boot to the OS ( everything indicated install was complete & no errors.)
1 clicked back again & just tried to put SlimSaber back on again, but have the same problem, will only boot into recovery.
I had to first load CM9 to get CWM 6.xx so I could install kk using TWRP
What am I not doing correctly? Thanks for any suggestions.
Flash kernel
Reboot recovery
Wipe all partitions
(Reboot recovery for good measure and wipe again if paranoid)
Install
Boot
If that doesn't do it, it is likely ROM or hardware.

Since this is running GB VUVKG4, could you recommend a kernel that would work & get me to TWRP (or CWM 5.xx+)?
Either the Team Acid CM9 or Hefe Kernel should work.
