[Q] SGS Rooting Problems

I'm having problems trying to root my SGS, i get to the stage of having the update.zip file installing in recovery mode – but it just looks like it is installing for a couple of seconds then stops and boots into the phone normally – resulting in phone still not being rooted.. I have tried many times all with the same result.
I am running 2.1 and am trying to apply the lag fix, any suggestions???
If the update.zip method doesnt work then try the PC method.
P.S : Do it at your own risk, I am mealy suggesting an alternative.

Device soft brick after flashing rom

Hello all hope you will be able to help me.
Device : Nexus S I 9020
So basicly iam kinda new to whole this world of "android" former Iphone user.
last mounth i got my nexus S wich is my first android phone.
As soon as i got it i started to read guids and etc.
Root the device and ofc the nexy step was trying Rom`s.
but then a problem , every time i try to flash a rom i get status 7 error.
tryed every possible combination of restore / wipe etc...
nothing helped , so i came back to the stock one (backup i made before i started)
after a while i discovered the app Rom mananger , wich install rom update recovery etc...
so i updated my recovery and installed CM7 using it.
used it for a while and went back to the stock.
after cople of days tryed to install MIUI using rom manger every thing went clear and after the intall device reboot it self and then stuck on the Google logo with the lock in the botom of the screen.
and nothing helped since then restore , factory reset/restore / wipe`s etc.
as last resort i tryed Odin and it worked like a charm got my device back and runing.
today i tryed to install a new rom AOASP(i think , or some thing like that) in the first time from the recovery (several times) with every possible wipe.
all the time status 7 error , then went to rom mananger and again same thing.
stuck on the google logo.
now iam gonna use Odin again hope it will work this time too.
Any idea how to resolve it , or why this is happen ?
and how can i resolve the status 7 error and what does it mean ?
Thank you all.
(sorry for this been so long , wanted to give as much details as possible)

doesnt seem to be the same problem like i had.
Any way at this point i was able to restore my phone using Odin , and then restore it into my stock backup (including all my data and etc...)
but the problem remain the same.
cant install any rom (status 7 error).
and when i try to install any rom using Rom mananger iam stuck on the google logo after the reboot.
so what can i do ?
Problem solved by using Odin ro restore it and after that flash Nanbackup and finally updating the CWM recovery.
If any one get the problem try this
Btw SuperAOSP is GREAT !!!!

Unusual OTA update

An interesting thing just happened to me..
I restored a CWM backup to my tablet of the original 1.016.04 I backed up.
I removed super user and CWM and checked for updates.
Update to 1.139.04 was found and I proceeded to install. During install, the update failed and tablet reset. I checked details again and tablet was now on 1.016.01 not 1.016.04. Update notification again came through and it successfully updated to 1.139.04. Reset tablet and now have update for 4.10.40. Currently downloading ...
Unusual that when the update failed it reported as having flexrom of 1.016.01 instead of .04 yet still updated to 1.139.04.
Just sharing for those interested....
You want to know what else is strange ??
Take a look at the date of all these "decrypted" interrim updates & Full 300+ MB updates.
ie.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15694533&postcount=267
all of them... not just the above example...
... their file date is 02/09/2011 !!
AFAIK .... there were no Iconia in February .... and these updates are the recent one that recently surfaced around the forum !!
ACER -->> One F**kup management that can't properly roll out updates.
I think at this point... they have manged to confused even themselves and things have been snowballed to a point of beyond remedy !
Timestamp of the files has nothing to do when the files were built...every nightly build of CM has a timestamp of 2/29/08...and if you build a ROM with dsixda's kitchen they get stamped 2/09/11...

[FIX GUIDE] For Flickering / jumping screen after unlocking the screen

Hello , like many of you , i got the flickering screen / jumping screen after unlocking my screen. Rebooting works but as soon as i close the screen or it shuts itself, unlocking it will cause it to flicker / jump like if the resolution was bad or something.
Installing ANY rom from the developpers did not work. From jellybean to revolution , to any popular modified rom.
My tablet is the galaxy 10.1 P7510 , here's what i did.
Updated clockworkmod from 4.0.04 to 5.5.0.4
Restore tablet to the day 1 when you unrooted it (instructions clearly told you to make backup, remember?)
Install Kies official by samsung
Update your tablet , you will now gain the newest version , official by samsung
Your tablet will now be rooted by samsung though , few components of the CWM remains.
Download clockwork mod 5.5.0.4 recovery file , flash it through Odin3 through PDA section
You will now gain back Clockworkmod but yout CWM will flicker / jump like crazy
Make your way through wipe
You may now try to install any modified ROMs, me i installed Revolution 1.0
Make your way through installing the ROM , i put it in ALARM folder because its the easiest to reach , choose your ROM , then press down 6 times to be able to press on YES to installt he rom
RESULT : CWM flickers / jumps but my modified ROM FINALLY does not jump / flicker after unlocking the screen
Good luck everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello,
this doesent work for me.
My tab cant be updatet with Kies. ist only 3.1.
When i flash the 4.0.4 open Austria with odin i will have the flickering screen.

All apps crash on boot - update fails - cant use anything - pls help

I have galaxy s4 gt i9500 and I m from india. I recently updated to lollipop and rooted by phone and installed philz recovery but later decided to unroot it using supersu unroot option. The strange thing is that i never got philz recovery but my phone was always rooted. All root apps worked fine. Anyways i decided to unroot it.
Now, after unrooting using supersu complete unroot option, i checked for updates and downloaded and ran the 326mb update available in india but the update always fails at 25% and when my phone boots normally , all apps force stop - yes all apps, i see only a black screen and errors of all apps that have forced stoped and only thing i can do is click on ok and power off or reboot my phone.
I cant boot into recovery as if i do that it goes to system update and throws an error at 25%
Please help, i have some imp data which i did not back up - phone is not detected in the pc / kies etc.
Extra info: I once did wipe cache partition and got the exact same issue when of all apps force stoppin on boot but then i went into recovery mode and did factory reset and all was fine.
Thanks - all replies appreciated.
you can't install official updates using a custom recovery
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
Just download the firmware from sammobile or another source!
Download Odin v3.09
Extract (unzip) the firmware file and the odin
Turn off the phone and go into download mode by pres and hold the (Volume down key+Home key+Power key)
Run the Odin and add the firmware file in AP/PDA section
Connect the phone when you get the blue icon in com-id (Before connecting please make sure you installed the proper drivers of your phone. Recommended to install samsung kies3 it will automatically installs all the drivers)
Tick only auto reboot and F. Reset time boxes
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes.
This will install the stock firmware and all the errors will be gone after installing.
^^ Thanks!!
Will this process wipe all data of my phone or all the data will be intact ??
Sammobile has the version 5.0.1 and I am already on 5.0.1 - will it cause any issue ??

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Its better to make a backup of your data. But this process will not wipe ur data. Better you do factory reset after installing the firmware because u r experiencing errors. No issue u can still install 5.0.1
Hi I was wondering if you were able to fix your problem. I have the exactly same symptoms with my phone however I got there in a different way.
I got myself in a big problem when trying to change the SuperUS app that go installed with [GT-I9500] CF-Auto-Root method.
I was able to root my S4 i9500 following the "[GT-I9500] CF-Auto-Root" threat a few days ago and everything was good.
Then for some reason (I still want to remember what was the reason) I decided to change the superUS app with Superuser clockworkmod app (I am a noob and I deserve this I know). anyway I downloaded the other app from google play and when I opened it say it has to instal the binaries, I said ok and the phone reset and went directly to download mode I believe.
It was doing something but whatever it did it failed. So I said ok not big deal I will reset the phone and end of story. However now when I boot up the phone when it passes the samsung logo and start to load up the OS every single app fails to load, "unfortunaly xxxxx has stopped" I press ok and then it goes to the next "unfortunaly yyyyyy has stopped" and the next and the next and the OS never loads. The screen just remain black until I press power and gave me the option to power off, reset, airplane mode, etc.
IS there a way to fix o revert this. I am able to get to download mode but ODIN does not detect the phone (odin detects the phone when the phone is in normal mode tho???)
I am able to get to the stock recovery too. Can i fix this from sd card?
any guidance would be appreciated.
