I'm with this guy..

There is a different dialer code for this on TW ROMs. If I remember correctly it was ##3282#. It is on the Wiki Page but my 3G is screwed right now.

Edit: Ditto on the boxes.

I've read that MSL doesn't work or read correctly on AOKP so that's probably why you end up with whatever the 2 black boxes represent lol.

I think those "menus" don't work with ics YET....so what I would do is just odin back to stock then use the "secrert menu" (I think that's what its called). Then go back to custom rom. There is a zip file floating around that "temporarly" puts the phone into stock...then reboots right back to your custom rom. Gotta READ.READ. and READ.lol.

[Q] Quick DJ05 Question

Hello, I looked around a bit and couldn't find an answer, so I figured i would just post this and ask.
I have two (probably) easy questions.
1. I'm on DI01 right now (superfast and superclean), can i go straight to DL09 or do i have to go DJ05 then DL09?
2. Can anyone give me a link to download odin? The link in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788099
happens to be broken for me.
anyone?

You can go straight to DL09. I have Odin shared on my Google Site page with instructions for upgrading as well, see here.
Thanks.

I use voodoo as it makes installing apps a lot faster and lags the phone less. Since voodoo5 and red clockwork, it's been much more reliable and easier to use.
Dl09 was a success.. I'm on the non-voodoo kernel and I'll probally flash voodoo tommarow.

That's good to hear. The only thing you need to remember after moving to voodoo is to be aware that you're using it when switching kernels. If you flash a non-voodoo kernel without first disabling voodoo, it can be a big headache. However, with the current state of development, most things are moving toward voodoo since it has become more stable and reliable.
Yep yep. Thanks for the quick replies and all the help you have been. I have the voodoo zip file on my sd card (the one from the DL09 thread). All I need to do is flash that one right?

Yeah, flash it the same way you did the other kernel and rom. When you restart, there will be a voice giving an approx. time to convert the partitions to the new file system. It will hold on the Samsung logo while doing the conversion and then go to the boot animation when done. I think the time to convert is anywhere from 5-10 minutes, depending on how much data you have. Disabling voodoo will take a few minutes longer and has the same voice time estimates.
Alright. I might just do this right now then.

i just installed dl09, and flashed the right rom. I restarted and am wondering how long it takes to load the rom. I did not flash the kernel right away. I was going to do that after the rom. So far I only have a black screen about 3 minutes in. Whats the deal?
You need to flash the kernel too
Swyped from my SCH-I500 using the XDA app.
just restarted flashed rom and then kernel both. black screen with bottom buttons all lit up for about 20 minutes now. help.
What rom and kernel did you flash? And you flashed the modem in the pda section of odin?
Swyped from my SCH-I500 using the XDA app.
yes i used the pda section and it passed just fine. i then unplugged phone, put batt back in. started phone back up and used rom manager to get to recovery. at first i just flashed blackhole 3.0 rom but i had his kernel and several components downloaded. i was paranoid so i flashed rom then reboot. black screen after samsung for a long time. i then reflashed rom w/ kernel. still got hung. then i went back and flashed everything i had dl including boot animation, digital clock, everything along with rom and kernel again. this time got to blackhole boot animation then has been stuck on that screen for about 40 min. it is the boot with the galaxy and stars with a small android robot in the lower right corner. thinking of doing the odin d101 package. wont that return me to stock. i don't want to but any suggestions.

Eb 13 /cwm3/ext4 rom install issues

Hello all.
I have tried to load two custom roms that are on eb13 with ext4. I had some small hurdles which I found answers to...but had the same net result on both.
The las5t one I tried was the frozen rom.
When it is complete all seems fine and it boots to the os. When. I hit settings or applications, it starts this strange vibration pattern and then reboots without displaying the selected menu.
If this was posted.. I did not find it. Any guidence would be appreicated and sorry for any bother. My goal is to research and go at it again next week.
I did follow the whiping instructions and in both cases I went to stock 2.1 then used odin to go to eb13. Base eb13 seems stable. In eb13 I convert to ext4 using cwm3.
From trial, I then flashed acs frozen(wipex3 and so on). On reboot the issue occurs. I did not install any apps or data which was backed up.

This is a know issue on both of these ROMs. You simply have to reflash the ROM when this occurs. It only seems to happen on a fresh ext4 conversion.
Thanks for the prompt reply. I may give it a try when I don't need the precious battery life.
Thanks again.

I had problems too from fresh eb13>cwm3>wipe 3x>flash frozenRom. At that point I was stuck in boot with bootscreens fighting eachother. So I wiped 3x again flashed frozen again now its all good.
So try wipe 3x and flash again see if that fixes you too.

Sorry for the confusion. I chewed 10% in reapplying the rom and such of my battery....leaving me with63% bat life left.
I should also note that after applying the rom it hugh at (the equiv of) the galaxy s screen for so long. After about 5 min I force rebooted and it came back fine.
Not to cross topics.... after flashing frozen (killer rom btw) I can't find my google searchbar widget to re-enable. I didn't think this would be part of the purged bloatware.
Any ideas how this happened and how I can gvet it back? Restore of app widgets via titanium didn't do it. Tried searching but haven't mastered the art in the xda app. Results include the hone book. I am on the road....so I can't hit a puter

Never mind. Appears to be a known issue related to the search buttoon not working . Thanks

Yeah, I too used go sms but I would really like to get it working natively .
The EB01 is the only baseband that allows the settings to stick, I flash phones all day. I just haven't tried going from flashed to Custom ROM also, only PAID CDMAWS works. I've tried everything and finally just paid $100 a month for the software. Btw, ty for the ROM's I haven't looked yet, I've done CWM, but never voodoo. If you want my settings I'll gladly post them. Everything on my phone works, talk, text, data web, mms, and metro apps from the handmark site.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
Both of the pages suggested come up as error 404 page not found.
Also even if your phone is fully flashed on the fassy, you must use either stock sms, or, a sms app that allows you to fill the mms settings.
I'll post the settings tomorrow, I'm very tired, long day at work.

IDK about kernel manager specifically but it shouldn't affect the flash I flashed the PBJ -50 and -100 kernels all the time when I was on EF, I believe EF 3.6 comes stock with the PBJ -50 kernel from imnuts.

Why would [email protected] work? On my APN I have set as [email protected] but aside from that and password, the mcc mnc and mmsc are the same.
So if I flash a kernel it shouldn't, theoretically, mess with my Metro PCS radio flash?

Again I flashed kernels time and time again, never once did it mess with the actual flash. Just in the last week I have flashed the kernel about 9 times moving from roms. So no, but again I never user kenel manager always either Odin or CWM. I work grave so I'm about to go to bed but I'll check the thread when I wake up and thanks for the settings in advanced.
Wait, it says I'll go from cwm, to voodoo, I know nothing about voodoo. Will this ROM work on EB01?

[Q] Stock Unrooted Flashable ROM

Does anyone know of a stock flashable ROM without Root and Busybox?
I'm aware of the thread guiding people on going back to factory but I don't want to do that. I want to be able to just flash a Rooted ROM if I want one and flash back to standard unrooted if I want using TWRP.
My reason behind this that I spend a lot of time on the train at the minute so decided to get Sky Go. Unfortunately it detects that the device is rooted and won't run.
There are a few threads around the net with scripts and suggestions but nothing seems to work for me.
I don't think there are any..... Hmmm.

You can flash the stock ROM with fastboot but not from within recovery. Get it here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

If you could do that it would be great.
I was just looking at the tutorial to bake it myself but having issues with Cygwin. Much quicker and easier if you did it.
Owe you one.
I use Linux so it won't take long. You literally want a flashable stock ROM, no changes whatsoever?

Exactly. I use a standard stock rooted ROM usually.
Just realised I don't actually use root for anything at the minute but likely will do in the future.
Thanks again.
I'll try and do it this afternoon but if not this evening once back at home
Uploading at the mo, it's literally the stock ROM dumped into the kitchen and cooked out with no change whatsoever

Very cool that you've done this, but I should give a word of caution: there are some problems that wiping via fastboot will fix, but installing a flashable stock .zip won't fix. For example, when a 16GB phone thinks it's only 8GB. (I have reason to believe that there are other problems that can only be fixed in this way, but I can't prove it. :silly
That's not something the OP cared about, he just needed to 'unroot' to use a TV app that checks for root access

I tried that.
I tried a script that was published on the net to remove root and busybox.
I tried removing root and busybox manually.
I tried flashing stock kernal
I tried several other apps.
A flashable stock rom was my last resort as I was under the impression that I'd need to wipe and I didn't want to do that. I just tried it without wiping on the off chance that it worked and it did, so problem solved.
None of my Apps were using Root so I thought I'd get rid of it completely but wanted the option to flash CM10.1 once Bluetooth MAP profile is fixed and working without having to go through putting TWRP on again.
It's all in the OP and posts following that.
EddyOS saw what I was after and offered to help. He's a great dude.
Just for learning purposes, how come no one has made a flashable stock zip until now? Wouldn't it just be like any custom rom but instead its just stock?
