Hey guys, sorry if Im repeating a thread, I looked the first 3 pages and found nothing.
Well, the thing is like this:
I downloaded z4root, xrecovery 0.3 busy box and proceed to root my phone. It all went well, root was succesful, but when I tried to install a custom ROM, that's where I think I screwed up. From xRecovery I went to "install custom zip rom" and tried to install Eminence v1.8. "Installed it" and nothing happened, it all looked the same... the thing is that later I read that this was only an extention of the X10 Res Mod, so I downloaded it and tried to install it, but when I booted the phone it got stuck in the Sony Ericsson text logo and it does nothing more... I need help :/
I can access the xRecovery menu, so I tried to do a Factory reset, but it didnt fix the problem... I dont know if with that I f%cked up things a little more.
PC Companion recognizes the phone being plugged but since I cannot mount it I cannot acces to it.
Is there anything that can be done here? Help much appreciated.
Try SEUS.... Follow instructions and you are back to a straight out of the box clean x10 again....
sent from my 2.2 X10
Thanks, I'll try that and let you know.
Thanks a lot PollPixx, it worked great. Now I'll go back and try it again, this time I'll try to read all the steps before actually start doing it ..
cheers

Have a problem, I cant start the phone i HBOOT or recovery. Have done this multiple times before and have no problems. Have flashed openfire before this, maybe something to do with that?
Really want to be able to make this work, because my battery drains from full to empty in a couple of hours, so wanting to reflash opefire or try cynagonmod to see if that could help my problems.
How do I enable this again? (have tryed to install recovery from rom manager, says success, but cant start in recovery afterall)
Have tested volume down+power, ...backbutton+power, ...and restarting the phone in bootloader and recovery, nothing happends.
Maybe the right title would be, cant start in recovery or bootloader, but you get my point anyway =)
Thinking this is maybe something that has changed from my washinmachine-misstake? (se other thread for that)?
Okay now I am frustrated! As seen here in my first post I cant go into recoverymode, bootloader etc.
Thought the problem would be my battery or SD-card. But have bought a new battery and a new sdcard. Still I cant boot into the recoverymode.
This is really strange!!
Maybe my phone got bricked with openfire or something? Its really annoying that I am stucked with this ROM and have no chance of updating or try new ROMS from now.
Someone smart out here, maybe there is another solution to try out?
PLEEEEAAASEEEE!!!
You could try installing rom manager and flashing the latest version of clockworkmod recovery from there

Have tryed that servel times! Not working, the phone starts as normal, even when the update.zip is in the root of sdcard. And cant start the phone from rom manager into recovery, not with voldown+power or from the reboot-options.
Maybe try re-rooting?

cant do it, because I have formatted the computer aswell, and I cant install the android bootloader interface without turning the phone in HBOOT-mode...
Ah, then I'm stumped, sorry

Yeah, me to! The only way to test it is if I could get a computer that already has the android bootloader interface. Or borrow another phone to install it. But dont have any friends with wildfire...doh!!
Hey guys,
Im not new to flashing roms etc,
but this is the first time i have so much trouble with it.
I read the streak how to PDF and followed the instructions on installing superboot.
when i installed superboot, the phone reset itself, and when it turns on, the dell logo shows up and the "home and menu" led starts flashing on and off and the restarts again.
I tried following the instuctions on how to restore the phone, but none of it worked. i specifically followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805112
and when i try to flash the update.pkg, i get an error at the end about the boot bin or something like that.
anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
I heard something about a QDL tool i could use...not sure what that is and i couldnt find an exact answer searching the forums.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: found a guide on using the QDL tool, im going to try it now wish me luck lol
If u got yours from best buy u need to use QDL. Read carefully and just do as it says
thanks for the tip, it is indeed the best buy exclusive white one....running qdl as we speak
ok everything is good now!
i just need to figure out why when i try to install dj steves rom it gives me
"failed to verify signature"
ok so now i am having a hard time rooting the phone.
I am using the android 2.2 provided from QDL and am trying to root via universal androot which isnt working for me.
any other ways i can root?
note: im using a best buy dell streak
If you are updating to his 1.6 then you dont need to root it.
It it pre-rooted
thanks, I figured it out.
It turns out that the "how to pdf" (while an amazing guide) linked me to outdated versions of the the recovery which is why it would not work.
everything is working now,
running steves 1.6 and loving life. Thanks every one for your help!!!!!

Moving to General
ok so I try to load a Update.pkg file and i get the following error message.
FOTA model name mismatched
what is the FOTA?
Im a complete noob trying to get a hang of the smartphone rooting lingo. Believe me when i say that i know next to nothing. Ive just finally managed to root my x5 using z4root (i presume it worked...the reset was very fast...but i see that "superuser" is in the apps list now (not that i know what its for anyway.). The reason im trying to learn how to root and install roms etc is coz my x5 will not connect to my wifi and trust me, ive tried everything that has been suggested on other forums..ive tried all the basics. Im noob, but not THAT noob ok ^^. But i dont know what effects installing a custom rom might have on the wifi at this stage. I see that a custom rom can allow for wifi teethering. So im hoping that might help , sumhow. Its worth a try , before i throw the thing out the window ^^.
So basically anyway , my question is:
Ive rooted the phone (im pretty sure)....so what should i do next? and in the correct sequence, to get my phones hacked software up to spec with you guys?.
e.g ..do i install this clockworkmod thing next..and then a rom, then a kernel?...i dont know what any of these things are or what they are used for...so if anyone could give me a simple bullet pointed list of what to install and in what order...id be VERY VERY grateful =) ...its doing my head in trying to read through these tutorials and trying to figure out what everyones even talking about ^^". Dont have to get too carried away..just a simple list and the correct order will do...i will figure out the rest. (As long as you dont miss any step out of course e.g ...some app i might need to install a crucial app etc. ) Thank You!!

Ok, so far ive got as far as renaming recovery.img to recovery.bak and copied the new recovery.img into the same folder. So i presume clockwork recovery is installed now?.
Next i downloaded the 100mb ,or so, rom and have copied it to the sd card. But now i dont know how to "boot to clockworkmod". Is it the same as holding volume keys and power button?...coz if it is, when i do that part it comes up with a purple screen. Otherwise.....how do i boot to clockworkmod?..or does the purple screen mean that somethings not installed right?....
Thanks again.

Volume-Up + Power button should bring you to the recovery menu.
Excellent...Volume up +.....that made a difference. thanks for that..i shall now continue the process. Thanks =)
ok next problem...in clockworkmod i go to "apply update from sdcard"..then it says these things:
Install from SDcard
-Finding update package...
-Opening update package...
-E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
do i need to create an "sdcard" folder in the sdcard itself...then put the zip file in it?
nevermind ...i see it Matters which sdcard u put the rom onto....looks like its gota be the external one...not the internal one...ok ...moving on.....
well its all installed now. Thanks for the tips. Although it didnt fix my wifi - wireless router connection =x....wonder what it is =x
if you have your wifi with pass check if without encryption it connects...
just to see all the possibillities...
if you continue to have problems without encryption then some compatibility is the problem...
have you checked it with other wifi?
if this happens only with your router then you can search for a more specific solution...
I decided to go ahead with the TW firmware upgrade. Everything seemed to be going fine until I tried to install it and it told me there was an error and I needed to hook it up to Kies first. I had already been using Kies with it on my Macbook for a couple weeks now so I went ahead and plugged it in. Kies recognized it as usual and all the information came up.
So I went on and tried to install again and it said it needed to reboot.
It reboots and comes to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 screen like normal (right before it starts the galaxy animation). Next thing I know it comes to a screen that looks like the attached images! I immediately unplugged it from Kies and shut it down. Every time I start it back up it does the same thing. I honestly have NO idea what to do. I can't even return it as it's past the 14 day period and I (stupidly) didn't buy Staples' bogus $160 insurance.
I was not rooted before. This was a stock tab that I bought at staples. It had the firmware 4.24 when I bought it, I think.
Please, any help is appreciated. I tried doing firmware recovery in Kies but the pop up comes up in Korean and I have no idea what it says...
Edit: More info. I'm not the only one with this problem. Two other people have posted on AndroidPolice about this. http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/08/04/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-wifi-touchwiz-ux-update-is-now-live/
The software is definitely running underneath all that mess but it's literally impossible to see what is going or to touch anything.
I guess this thread is about the same issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203610
Thanks, I'm checking the thread out now. I probably should have searched more than just Google before posting but I freaked out when it happened.
No need to freak out . we have xda and dev to solve all our problems
i have exactly the same problem as you... what should i do now?
I get the same screen but after rebooting! pfft it's making me really sad :\
I'm sorry but I tried reading this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089 and couldnt understanding what should I do!
What CWM + my device is not rooted, all I could understand is that the thread contains instructions on how to root your device..
I just want my normal screen back!
Please tell me what to do in simple english :\
And now I did a wipe and the stripes are gone, but the screen is black instead :\ still not working. Please help me!
Are you sure you didnt sit on it?

So I need to follow all the steps for rooting except the last one which is the actual rooting? Great thanx! Do I need to use Kies? My current computer is Mac but I guess I need to download those things to a Windows machine to make it work, right?
Thank you very much
I had the same problem. I upgraded the update on my non-rooted tablet and got the funked up video mess. Per instructions from Samsung support, I hard booted to the recovery menu (power+vol down, then power up, down on download screen) and did the factory wipe. After that I ended up with the black screen. I could tell things were working in the back but couldnt see a thing. I figured I would throw it on the Kies and it saw that there was a factory upgrade so I let the Kies run through it and it works fine now.
Dont know if this will help w/other but it worked for me.
Ok so I managed to install 2.3.5 Official!
Now I need to root, install CWM and flash Aurora!
The problem is I CANT ROOT, SuperOneClick crashes after a few seconds from the time I press ROOT!
Please I need major help , I am stuck at this ugly ROM!
Have you installed the ADB drivers? When I was rooting using Superoneclick I forgot to install them. If you need to go to this page:
huaweidevice.co.in/Support/FAQ/
scroll down to the bit that says "How do I install the ADB driver?" without quotation marks and open that. I used the instructions there for my phone and it worked without a problem.
Yeah that was the prob, I installed the drivers and everything happened as it should but now I am facing another problem -.-
I rebooted the phone and its bricked, It is stuck at a BLUE screen and cont do a ****, I am tired!
I wiped cache data dalvik or wtvr but still nothing I dont know what to do know!
The pink screen aint working to detect the mobile!
I am desparate -.- And I REALLY did everything as I should followed instructions step by step after reading a thousand times!
HELP
-Sorry, bad advice, just look at the other thread you made-
I am back at this situation! I cant root I installed drivers I did everything! SuperOneClick jsut crashes
