Hi , i rooted my phone (after much tries , finally using Super One Click) , then i unrooted it. Now for some reason , my phone hangs whenever i turn on Wi Fi.
It wasnt happening when i bought the phone (Just a week ago)
I need help on how to restore it to complete factory sealed settings.
I'm in India(if that creates a difference in firmware).
Thanks !
You can factory reset but this will loose all your data/ contacts/images/sms/apps you installed from the market so take backup via kies if you need that data.
Settings > privacy> factory data reset
Hope you get it all new after reset, let us know.
Thanks for the suggestion , but i did a factory reset(many times over) , but it still hangs at the WiFi scanning networks . Also , the phone's performance seems to have degraded VERY MUCh.
:'(
if you want to hard reset your phone then go to the dialer and type the following code *2767*3855#
before this first make a backup of your phone by kies and do it at your own risk
Just did a hard reset , phone is rebooting..
EDIT : Rebooted Phone , tried to turn on Wi-Fi , again stuck...
How can i restore it to completely factory settings , like when i bought it ?
Check your wifi settings
hardware problem with the antenna may be the problem for which u have to go to samsung.
The phone's kinda slow as well...
How do i check if it's the antenna ? i mean , is there any way ?
And no way to fall back to Sealed settings ?
When you did hard reset did all the installed apps returned to default setings?
after market apps were removed?
Did you instaled any app from the market to manage the wifi network?
I dont know any other way as yet best is to take it to samsung workshop as its under warranty.
To the best of my knowledge , yes the apps went back to their default state after the hard reset..I couldnt figure out how it was any different from the "Wipe Cache/Factory Reset" in the aNDROID recovery.
The problem actually started when i wanted to connect to an ad hoc network which i made on my laptop and android cant see it by default.
So , i replaced the wpa_supplicant by a custom file.
Wifi hanged for the first time.
Then somehow i copied back the default wpa_supplicant file but the problem is still on. I used adb to push as far as i remember.
Maybe i should try putting the default wpa_supplicant file back but im pretty sure that i've already done that.
I copied the instructions from emoiz.com,ad hoc networking and the comments said that it was working , but i got screwed...
Taking to samsung would be the easiest route unless you have other reasons not to do so, they should be able to sort this out.
Took it to the service station , the "Sir" who was supposed to handle software couldnt even do a factory reset thru android recovery , he said it cant be done thru software...I thought otherwise...
so dont they have the hardware reset, how else do they solve your problem, tell them you have got a new handset which is not working to connect to wifi.
Call the samsung helpline & register a service complain get the complaint number, even I am having some issue with the camera setting, will post a new thread to confirm then take it to the service center.
friggin Holi came in between...Will have to wait till wednesday(23 March) , but i guess ill wait till then ...Will give other options a go whille im at it though.
well , i maybe onto something...please i need to know from someone with a GT i9003 that what are the contents of the /data/wifi directory.

even IF I am an I9000 user not i9003 , it should still work to flash with odin I guess. If you know the Phone , Pda and CSC of your phone , search your rom on xda or samfirmware.com and download it , put the files in odin , put phone in download mode (Volume down + Big Home Button and then Power at the same time ) , plug usb to phone and computer , close other apps , hit start and wait to finish ( don't touch phone until it restarts ) . If you brick your phone , don't blame me , I just made a sugestion .

i have same prob u have to hardrest thn root again and replace that original wap

So, There is a telemarketing company thats offering the Nexus S 4g from sprint for $49.99 a month and you only pay $100 for the phone. you get unlimited everything.
the thing is that every cellphone they give you comes with a pre-installed app called "RawData" which records all your calls, texts, data usage. they basically stalk your phone.
For some nasty reason the app to make calls, is pre-installed with raw data so when you dial a number, it sends the call to "RawData's" servers and forwards it to the number. I found out about this when I rooted the nexus and uninstalled "rawdata" but then my no so smart mind said "WELL HEY, WHAT IF I UNINSTALL THE TALK APP?" well i did, sadly it wont even call 911, when you press dial it says the app crashed.
I tried giving it a factory reset, and it turned on, and when it comes to the setup where it tells me to "touch the android to begin".
i press it and it seems to look highlighted when i press it, but it doesnt pass from there... so i was trying to install the stock rom from clockwork recovery, but it seems that the nexus doesnt have a memory card slot, and when i press install update from sd, it says "error, directory not found" or something like that...
is there another way i can install the Stock rom? oh by the way, i was messing with the recovery so i deleted the boot, so it only boots to recovery with luck..
1.how do i change the settings of clockwork to look in the internal memory for the update.zip.
2.have you heard of rawdata before?
3.whats the point of rawdata?
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
did you try to go to mount the /sdcard in CWrecovery?
I did, but i just figured out that my update.zip might not be the right one, it still gives me that error, but i downloaded clockwork recovery 7 and installed it from from the old recovery menu and it successfully insalled and turned on my nexus, but now i still have problems with the dial pad, i try to make a call, i dial the numbers and when i press call the app crashes.. any idea?
sir i think that the rom you got is corrupted try to check the md5sum first before flashing...let me know ok?

Hey I can probably upload the phone app on here for you. Just always make sure to back up your stuff. But if you want you can get it. Navigate to the folder where you download it and then navigate to the system app folder copy and replace. It. But first can you do this for me. Go into rom manager and back up your current rom. Do not delete any. And you might be able to flash back to stock through rom manager. Get like a new rom download a free one and flash that to see if it fixes the phone problem. But first see if you can restore through rom manager. Sorry if this is confusing.
Nexus S 4G using miui.us with matr1x kernal 9.0 and batttweak RC1

That would be great if you could upload the Phone app.. I just did the back up, but im having a hard time finding a download to a Stock Rom, so I started downloading a custom rom to see if it makes any difference.
I recently updated my Samsung Infuse to the fairly new Gingerbread 2.3.6 update. It was a modded version I think, my brother applied it for me, it was suppose to come rooted (why I believe it's modded.) When I open my camera, it says, "camera failed" and I have to restart my phone to get it to work, which I shouldn't have to do. When I try to play my music it says something along the lines of 'music player cannot play this type of file' (i will post exactly what it says when I find out.) When I do restart phone it works fine for a few hours but then messes up again. I have had my Samsung Infuse since December, and had problems with the first one I had, it would say the Sim was inactive and it had a dead pixel (as does this one but I don't mind where it's at) and had it replaced and this is the first problem with this one. Please help me I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!!
How long ago was it updated, and can you find out for sure what rom was used to update the phone? I've used all of the stock based Gingerbread roms on here, and have never had any of the problems you describe.
Get us a little more information, though, and maybe we can help you troubleshoot. The camera problem sounds hardware related if you are in fact on a stock Gingerbread rom. Also, what type of music file are you trying to play?
My brother said it was just the stock rom with root added. It was applied just yesterday, and the music file are all MP3, And everything works perfectly fine after a reboot.
Sounds like something wasn't done right. Here's what I would do, because something is corrupt.
Back up all music files, etc. to your computer.
Go to this link for the package that I put together (It's nothing fancy, just the exact bits from Samsung / AT&T for UCLB3 Gingerbread with root added.):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613523
Reinstall the package. After you follow ALL of the instructions there, including the ones for wiping user data and cache, let the phone boot.
Go to settings / sd card and phone storage / Format USB storage. Let it format.
If you've kept music files on the external sd card, format both the internal sd and the external sd. Be sure that you've saved anything you want to keep to your computer, because this will wipe these partitions clean.
After that, go to settings / privacy / factory data reset / reset phone and reset the phone to factory defaults.
Put your music and other files back on the phone.
I can't do a reset yet. I wait a little while to see if it fixes over time, if not, then I will do all that. Thanks for the help. I know you probably won't wait for that long, because it will be around a week or two, so thank you.
Could well be that he installed Dman's rooted stock Rom but didn't follow the instructions completely. After you install the rom, you need to flash the stock kernel. Here's his post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22775901&postcount=1
Does that sound like it could be the problem? You talk about music playback - I don't know the extent to which that could be a problem. Anyway, just a thought. Check in with other people here before you go flashing your kernel!
Hi all,
Sorry if this has been posted before, I have had a look but cant find the solution!
I have a HTC Desire HD that I have rooted using the AAHK, this has worked fine.
Next, I have searched around for a rom to use and found the Cibernodo Mod2Bravo V7.1 (English version) . . . I have put the zip file on to my SD card . . . restarted in recovery mode, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe Dalvik cache, wipe battery stats, install zip from SD card, chosen the Cibernodo file and gone through the installation process . . . .
I have done all of this several times, and downloaded the zip again but I constantly get the same results:
Mounting and formatted partitions
Mounting /data
Mounting /sd-ext
Formatting /system
Mounting /system
Intalling System & Data partitions
Installing Gingerbread Keyboard

Installing 3DGallery
Removing Apps NOT selected
Installing Cibernodo Bootanimation
Configuring installed files
Setting permissions of /data
Configuring System Files
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img","boot")
Yes, I am a noob, and no, I dont know much about this but I have followed everything to the letter as far as I can see ... is there something glaringly obvious that I am doing wrong?
To top it off, each time I complete this process a message pops up telling me:
Congratulations...
Cibernodo Mod2Bravo has been installed correctly on your phone
Click Finish, and restart your phone.
Thanks
Installation State: 1792
So is the 'assert failed' the issue here, and if so, how do I fix it?
Sorry to go into so much detail but I just want to see where I have gone wrong ... many thanks in advance!
[EDIT]
when my phone reboots it goes back to where I started from, i.e. the downgraded version of android from after rooting . . .
I will also try downloading and installing a previous version, V6.1z ...
Same issue with that version, so Im pulling hair out lol!
This has now gone from bad to worse ... I ran the aahk again as super user and busy box disappeared, thinking I would start from fresh again . . . there was a pause in the process and now my phone is stuck on the white HTC screen . . . anyone able to shed any light on this at all?
I've managed to speak to someone and apparenly I am not bricked and can run a ruu ... when I re-run the aahk it wont start as the error message comes up ... the phone is plugged in, the drivers are installed but I am guessing the USB debugging has been disabled . . . so does anyone know how to enable this from the aahk main screen with regards to the fact I can't boot into android?
Looks like there are lots of reasons for this... and it's a can of worms. Also, the Desire HD is one handset that my network has never sold direct, so I have seen one in eighteen months. I'm less familiar with it than I'd like... Just checking the thread and you're using the Desire HD, yes?
This thread degenerated a little and I think you've tried the chatroom too, but there are some useful pointers here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646178

Good luck. Keep us posted.
Thank you for that, I have got to the point where I don't know what to look for anymore lol! I will have a read through those ...
So I have a problem with my Nexus 5. Yesterday I tried all kinds of different Lollipop roms and at the end of the day I sticked to Cataclysm. I liked it and my phone was all set up but I noticed there were a lot of unnecessary folders on my internal storage and a nested 0 folder (0 inside /0). I didn't like that so I thought about making a nandroid backup, storing it on my computer (together with my music etc.), wiping everything and restoring it by using TWRP and then eventually putting my music back.
So after I stored a backup on my computer, I started my device into recovery mode and chose the option 'advanced wipe'. Usually I would do a lot of research for everything I do but in this case I was a bit lazy to do that, I tried digging into the search results of Google concerning wiping but I gave up after some unsatisfying results. So I checked every box in the list, including data and system and went through with the wiping. So because my storage was completely wiped I didn't have a 'WRTP/BACKUPS' folder anymore. I made a backup from the stuff I had (which was only a few mb's) so I would have that folder again (otherwise I wouldn't be possible to locate my nandroid backup). I wanted to transfer my nandroid from my computer to my phone by connecting it through USB but for some reason the Nexus 5 didn't show up on my PC when it was booted in recovery (this sometimes happens for some reason)
I managed to do it by using 'adb push Cataclysm folder' in cmd. I went into recovery and restored my backup. My phone booted and I thought everything was as it should be. The wallpaper was black but that was logical because my internal storage was wiped, including my custom wallpaper. But then I noticed something strange, my status bar disappeared, sames goes for my navigation bar. I really have no idea what happened because I've restored nandroid backups before and everything went fine.
So then I put a clean version of Cataclysm on my phone and for some reason it asks me to insert a SIM-card into my device while it has one. I skipped that step and then it asked for my home Wi-Fi and I chose mine, then it checked the connection way longer than it would normally do. After I was done with all the steps my homepage entered my screen and guess what, my status bar and also my navigation bar were absent. It was like my cell phone was in immersive mode all the time. Then I tried flashing the KitKat factory image by going into recovery with my phone and opening 'flash-all.bat' on my PC but then it said '< waiting for devices >' while I enabled USB debugging... I opened cmd and typed 'adb decives' and mine showed up, so it was connected (although it now says 'unauthorized' when my phone is normally booted).
Then I flashed clean Cataclysm again and it again said I had to insert my SIM-card and it then again checked the connection with the Wi-Fi for a couple of minutes. When I was done with the installation I tried replacing the wallpaper with one from Lollipop but it didn't work although there was a preview available. There was again no status bar and navigation bar. I then opened chrome and went to this website and now I'm typing this on my Nexus 5 which has a permanent immersive mode now.
So I don't have much in my internal storage anymore, only a TWRP folder with backups, nothing more, not even a 0 folder if I'm not wrong. There's something wrong with my mobile connection and definitely something going on with my navigation bar and status bar. I hope anyone could help me with this because this is really frustrating becausr I tried to fix it for the last couple of hours, unfortunately without any result...
EDIT: I forgot to mention that when I was trying to figure out how to send the nandroid without being able to access my internal storage via my computer, I booted in recovery, went to 'advanced' and then to 'adb sideload' and tried that because I saw it somewhere on the internet. I somehow believe this contributed to the problem I have.
EDIT2: Now, when I try to power off my phone by holding the power button, it reboots the device instead, what's going on... And as I said, I have a black screen as wallpaper for some reason and I can't change this, but if I open my weather widget, the widget window shows up with my chosen wallpaper on the background, what kind of sorcery is this?
EDIT3: I wanted to download a terminal emulator from Google Play to do this but I couldn't get to 100% so I thought there was something wrong with the app on my device. I googled the apk and I wanted to download it from Zippyshare and when I clicked on the button 'download now', the phone showed the message 'no SD card', so I guess that's the culprit of all of this?
TL;DR My phone is acting really weird (no status or navigation bar, phone reboots instead of asking whether I want to have it shut down when I hold the power button, the wallpaper being strange, SIM-card isn't being recognised) after I wiped data and system and actually everything...
Reboot to bootmanager , flash a factory image , wipe , start over . Something must have gotten corrupted in your nandroid backup.
Regarding ADB not working , you also need to authorize the pc you are working from . You will get a prompt on your phone when connecting . If you dont , go to developer setting , wipe ADB credentials , reconnect the phone.
Also , adb push works fine for single files but it sometimes borks when you are pushing big/many files.
Edit : I hope you didn't wipe EFS as well ( though AFAIK TWRP doesn't wipe it on a advanced wipe) . If you did it's time to return it to stock and send it to LG/Google

Thank you for reading my huge explanation. After hours of searching and trying a lot of things with my device I figured out how to fix it. Do you remember I said that when I tried to flash the factory image with 'flash-all.bat' that it responded with '< waiting for devices >' ? Well, after reinstalling the drivers countless times and trying to find the culprit I realised I was trying to flash it with TWRP being open, and not the bootloader... So after I was aware of that I finally managed to put stock Lollipop on my phone, then I wiped everything and flashed Cataclysm. It felt pretty satisfying to have a working phone again, it's a pity I had to start from scratch but on the other side, I now how a phone without any rubbish.
Regarding adb push, if I would like to ever push a rom or a big file onto my phone in case I would ever have a similar annoyance, what do you recommend me to do it with?
And what is EFS exactly and what happens if I would ever wipe that? Thank in advance!
Regarding ADB push / twrp MTP mode you jst need to remember not to try and upload the entire content of a sdcard backup or > 3-4 gigs. Big files rarely missbehave , but I screwed up my SD permissions when trying to restore my sdcard ( thousands of files and about 14 gb total).
EFS is a secure partition that stores your GSM/network id and profile - IMEI and so on. AFAIK it's pretty hard to erase but it is possible if you play around with format/repartition commands. Just follow the guides and instructions on this forum and it should be fine.
Corrupted or erased EFS = no network connectivity besides WiFi . And since tampering with it is illegal in some countries the only way to fix it is by RMA/warranty.
I'm glad you've fixed it - I'm not surprised it was a simple mistake , I've been there myself ( tried for an hour to flash a factory image unsuccessfully only to realize I had my phone plugged in a USB3 socket ) .
Don't forget to make a nandroid now that you are set up with your fav. ROM - it will come in handy sometime.

I'll definitely make a nandroid, just in case. Thanks for the help and the clarification!
Try wiping your bum more thoroughly
