Here is the problem. I have my Galaxy Ace plus on my hand now. Two days ago, I charge it inside my magnet-case. While charging I saw my phone is restarting automatically. I already take the battery out for a day and I try it again. My phone go to the home screen, it is, but only for fewer than 10 second. My assumpsion, that my phone is disrupted by the magnetic radiation. However, I already consider to update the firmware or hard reset. But, is there any other solution? Or could somebody tellme how to update the firmware or probably hard reset it?
Thanks in advanve

First of all is your Ace Plus rooted?? Have you installed clockworkmod recovery and created nandroid backup?? Have you installed a custom ROM or kernel??
If not, you must be on stock, u better try saving your data like contacts, messages etc on your computer/laptop and do a factory reset! It'll be there system setting...
And what you mean by "update the firmware"?? How you planning to do that??
And if I were you, I wouldn't use that magnetic case!

I haven't rooted my Ace Plus and neither use the clockwordmod. Absolutely I am in stock right now. That's what I concern about that how to back up my contact and message if my phone cannot be kept on even for a minute. If I can make a back-up especially for the contacts in my phone, I will directly take a factory reset. Or, is there any way to get access to internal/usb storage while the condition of the phone is like what I've said (turned on in 10 second) ?
'Firmware update' I mean here is, to update the android version or on the other way is to put a custom ROM.
Dude for backing up try using kies!! Or just save sd card data on your computer! If you can, download my backup from play store and backup your data!! Or if nothing works save contacts on sim and forget the rest! Then go to setting, there should be a reset option and choose factory reset data!! If you still have problem after restarting, take it to service centre!!
And that firmware update is a minor update!! Even I had that when I bought my SGA+!! It's not major android update!!
And dude can I get some thanks?? Just click the "thanks" button below!! :victory:
How come I could backup my phone's data while my SGA+ is just keeping on around 10 second. I do not have enough time to back up...

Dear friend, I guess I have a solution for your problem but you need to answer my two questions:
1-Are you running GingerBread 2.3.6?
2-Switch off your phone (I suggest removing the battery and replacing it first)
Hold the following buttons at the same time (hold the power button at last): HOME, VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN and POWER.
Your phone should boot now in your stock recovery mode, just wait for 10 or more seconds, does your phone reboot by itself after this period?

Finally I got it friends, thanks for your suggestion. I think that that's okay to delet ALL of my internal data. Then I do hard reset and now using stock ROM with Gingerbreas 2.3.6...

Factory reset after Odin back to stock and rooting settings privacy factory reset. That'll fix it for you.

If your just "stuck" at the samsung logo and had previously flashed a custom rom then you still have recovery....pull battery 3 button back to recovery do a complete wipe and flash another rom...if you dont have one on your phone, go to apply update zip and choose yes...your recovery should be green now...then go to mounts and storage>mount usb storage and now your computer will recognize your sd card and you can transfer another rom on your phone and flash...youll be all good then...

It's a friends phone and to be honest he can't handle the power of the root. He has no idea how to handle issues. I just want the phone to work normally. I flashed it back with the ultimate unbrick which unrooted it I believe but now the market dosent download apps. I just want the phone to return to out of the box normal working.
Please advise on how to fix the market not downloading.g

Same thing happened to me before. I flashed it again with odin and that fixed it.
I recieved the OTA update for the G2x to the latest v21y firmware and Gingerbread 2.3.4 OS. Everything seems to have gone fine, except that now in Google Play apps it gives me the following error when trying to install or update *any* app:
'Error downloading "xxx". There is insufficient space on the device.'
Of course, I have an additional 8 GB micro SD card that is almost totally empty, and the internal phone storage has 3.2 GB available. The phone memory lists 0.94 GB available as well.
I followed the usual advice of clear data / clear cache for both Google Play and Download Manager. I unmounted/mounted both phone and SD cards. I turned off the phone, pulled the battery for a bit, took out the external SD card, put the battery back in, and booted back up. I rebooted a bunch of times. I put the external SD card back in. I cleared off extra crud from phone storage via a file manager, and I cleared caches on all installed apps.
This has never happened before, and directly after the update it has happened 100% of the time I have tried.
Any ideas? Is this happening to anyone else who got the update? (I'm completely on stock, btw, still not out of warranty.)

Does that require rooting? I haven't installed CWM yet, as I was holding off on all the experimentation until my year was up.
If there's no other usual thing to try, if T-mo doesn't come back with a reasonable response I suppose that's the next step.

You can factory reset without root. That's what T-Mobile will tell you to do anyways. I've went through six g2x in the past two weeks...that's their answer to everything lol

So a factory reset fixed it. I didn't have to wipe the phone and external SD, and so I'm just reinstalling apps and setting up a few of them. This was a good time for some spring cleaning anyway, I suppose.
It was probably some stupid permissions thing, but without root I can't even fix that.

What is this update supposed to accomplish anyway? I'm rooted and trying ROMS pretty much every week (since no ICS rom works for me as a daily driver). Should I / can I do the update to 21y?
V21y 2.3.4 Rooted Touch Key lights
so everything else works fine when it comes to rooted app root request, but for some reason when a touch key light app request permisson it can do the job of adjusting the touchkey brightness, however the screen becomes very unresponsive, to the point where you cant slide left and right... I have run out of ideas as to why this is? has anyone else experienced this? I like to be able to turn that brightness down
I bought a phone from ebay SGH i727 Android version 4.0.4 Baseband version 1727UCLE2 Build Number SkY ICS 4.2E-2 Kernel Version 3.0.8 perf 1727ucle2-cl526987 [email protected]#1 smp preempt tue may 8 kst 2012 (if all this info works). It was at&t device, which is working with tmobile sim. The problem is there is NO status or notification bar.
There is no way I can receive a call on this phone. NO WAY, no green icon to slide, no home key reply - nothing.
My question are below
1. Can I simply do a factory reset, since if the phone is working on tmobile it is unlocked - right? and should work after factory reset.
2. The phone has root access by superuser and a few more apps that make me think that it may have been a software unlock to allow at&t and tmobile sim ONLY. Is that possible, and is factory reset advised in that case?
Sounds like it's running sky ics. Im pretty sure the reason the phone is unusable is due to the fact it was already factory reset.
Your best bet is to read the stickies and install a fresh rom.

I have been reading the stickies and forum posts for almost 6 hours now. It is just that this is my first time messing up with such stuff and I wanted a clarity from someone who has done this stuff earlier.
One more question then - which ROM would you suggest?
Lol. Fair enough. It's a lot to read.. I know- ive read everything here.
I suggest a stock rom to start with. Here is the latest stock rom from Mohan

I downloaded the zip file and ran a rom updater via ROM MANAGER app, it did everything, it took a backup, ran a whole lot of activities and said that ROM is updated. Nothing, there is no status or notification bar, there is no change in the phone details from the one posted above.
I just want to be able to ANSWER my calls as of now. I hear a call sound but there is no way to pick up that call. The only way is to see a missed call notice in the wallpaper and then call back.
Don't use rom manager, use recovery.

connect the phone to your computer, put the ROM on the internal sd card, reboot into recovery (remove battery, put it back in, press and hold [power+volume up & down] til samsung logo disappears ) and flash the ROM from internal sd card

I was just apprehensive and had read good reviews about ROM manager, so I downloaded a custom rom via it and installed the CyanogenMod Version 9.1.0-Skyrocket
As of now, status and notifications seem to be working fine.
Thank you for all your help, hmm maybe the next time I will try something via a non - interface way.

By the sounds of it, you should read the stickies as suggested before flashing roms.. sounds like you used rom manager to flash the CM version? Wouldn't advise that in the future and probably lucky nothing bad happened if that is indeed how you did it.
Need any help, feel free to pm me.
So after 6 months of perfectly working NON rooted phone, I decided to root my Verizon Galaxy S3. I previously owned a Moto Droid 2 and rooted and had no problems ever. Unfortunately, within hours of a successful root, I made the mistake of downloading ROM manager (since it worked fine on my Droid 2) and tried installing the first listed AOKP custom ROM. It rebooted and did everything that was expected, until it just hung on the boot up screen for over an hour. I then decided to (for better or worse) pull the battery and just boot into recovery. Unfortunately, this brought me to a message from Verizon saying "you are doing bad things, bring your phone to Verizon" (more or less anyway). So I fixed that much by getting the factory image/reboot and installing via Odin. My problem now is it constantly keeps failing/closing android process every minute or so. I can't navigate it long enough to do anything before it fails again and takes me back to lock screen followed by home screen. When I boot to recovery, it says I have no files to restore either, but I KNOWWW for a fact I did a backup through CWM before I did ANYTHING involving any custom ROMs. PLEASE help me! Ask any and all related questions that will help you and I'll do my best to answer them.
Can you check your file system and see if your CWM folder has a backup? It should be Sdcard/CWM or extsdcard/CWM. If not, do you mind flashing another rom or that same rom?

2 questions: Which factory image did you use to restore (link to thread)? Did you change the default backup location in CWM (ie, did you backup to the external sd or the internal - internal is default)?
There is a file in both extsdcard and sdcard with clock work mod back up. I did manage to factory reset and re root, so phone is functional again, just with none of my apps or settings. I have a feeling I'm going to need to un root in order to re receive my JB update too?

Didn't unlock bootloader?
I don't know for sure. I unzipped SU plus bootloader file exactly as specified in forums/video. Had no problems until I tried installing that ROM through ROM manager. And forgive me for trying that. I hadn't rooted in over a year. But main problem now is just that I want to recover how my phone was ie settings and set up if possible.

That sounds about the right size for a backup. When you go into CWM and do the restore (or restore from external - which ever has that folder, you didn't say) it doesn't show a backup?
What version of CWM are you running?
It's version CWM6023touchvzw.tar.md5. And it's on the external. But no matter which option of restore I choose in the recovery boot, it says file not found.

Maybe after all that flashing and Odin-ing your recovery install got wanked, somehow.
Let's try this: it will re-install the latest CWM, clean and then let's see if it'll recognize your backups.
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/
download the touch image for the d2vzw (or just click here)
put that in the root of your internal sd card.
Open up terminal emulator on your phone and type the following:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-d2vzw.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
reboot recovery
(partition 18 is your recovery partition)
That'll push the known good CWM to your recovery partition and boot you into it. It won't mess with any sort of data anywhere else on the phone.
Alright, thanks. I'll give this a try after I get back home from work.

I didn't feel good with that Custom ROM so I installed back to stock 4.1.2 and automatically upgraded to 4.2.2. And since that I lost greater than before. I used many recovery software to recover my lost but I had nothing. I decided back to 4.1.2 but something worse happened,, 3/4 of my video and gallery disappear,, :crying::crying::crying:

You're welcome I'm always happy to help.. Well the problem is I couldn't find any way to recover the old data... so was forced to completely format my tab using CWM recovery to get back the space of almost 6 GB taken by my old data.. if you can somehow get back to the old partition then it might be possible to get it back but sadly i wasn't able to find anything on the net though.. BTW it didn't happened again though so far and yes you are right it only happened on my tab... I flashed new ROMs multiple times on HTC desire C and Samsung Galaxy Y DUOS but this never happened..
