The A/C charger is a product that is still used world wide :silly::laugh:

USB phone slot it is broken. Mobile Odin does not support I9001

I can recharge it with the A/C charger. But if i put my phone in Download mode, Odin doesn't see it. (I have driver installed)

with a hardware defect will they check the software?

If I unroot the phone, I can give my phone to Samsung for repair it in warranty

That's kind of you, but honestly, he can do it himself pretty easy.
@lamero1:
Just download an existing custom rom (in cwm zip format) such as my business edition and download the stock rom you want, then open the stock rom (.tar.md5 file) extract system.img.ext4 and boot.img (you can extract system.img.ext4 with Diskinternals Linux reader). now delete all contents inside the /system folder of the business edition zip and place the contents of system.img.ext4 inside the zip. also put the boot.img from the stock kernel inside the zip. Now when you install the zip you will have a clean system, without root)
if your phone recognizes my quick flasher you can also flash the system.img.ext4 partition directly to your phone (takes ages tho)
But honestly I think your usb slot isn't broken but it's just some issue with your computer, have you tried it on a computer of a friend or so?
Also it could be that the file "usb_sel.bin" which is located in /persist, has the incorrect value of 1 or 2 when opening as text file, it needs to be 0. if it's not your usb won't work and only charges.

I will try thanks

Worked! Thanks
Very useful for other people with USB problems, having phone in warranty
The only problem is that in info i have Kernel version: [email protected] #1. How can I fix it?

at least in germany there is a difference between guarantee and warranty. if you flash a custom rom or root your phone you lose guarantee which is voluntarily given by samsung. means samsung doesn't have to give support on problems which are caused by flashing of the rom. though if you have problems you didn't cause with a product - here with your hardware - samsung has to repair it because this is a warranty issue. this is something the german law says.

All You Have To Do Is Download The Rom From The Url You Posted Then When You Have It On Your Computer Right Click On It & Select Extract Files Then Open The Folder That Gets Extracted & Find RUU_signed.nbh & Rename It RHODIMG.nbh Then Put It On Your Storage Card & Flash & You Should Be Good To Go
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Rhodium Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to RHODIMG.nbh
4. Copy the RHODIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
I Hope This Helps!!!

Rlly? cause I was told if any software is found on the phone when its sent back,ill be charged for a full price?
If you are on AT&T, you have to restore the stock ROM or you will be charged. You also need to restore the SPL.
Problem
I flashed abck to default stock rom some time agon and they voided my warranty just because id didnt return to stock spl. They are full of nonsense over here
i have done numbers of returns of from tilt 1 too the fuze and the tilt 2 for warranty exchange and never had a problem but if u feel confortable follow the steps from the previous post to conver the file over just extract the file and then convert the name over to rhodimg for the nbh filr and put to ur main root of the sd card and flash it that way it will install the stock rom

Just let us know when you need help with flashing back to stock rom btw with the stock rom that was just updated for the AT&T with sense it has a lot of problems so you may want to flash it as soon as you get the replacement.

Just make sure to flash stock rom and respl your phone if you hgarsled it. coz spl voids the warranty.
it doesn't matter how many softwares you have on your phone when i sent my phone i had spbmobile shell installed on it plus nitrogen core player and all the crap so it doesn't really make any difference.
my phone had a little crack near usb and when they asked me i said nothing is wrong with it there is not even a small scratch on my phone

Dont exactly know, what it does, but as far as I get it, it roots the device and installs CWM touch.

Hey, thanks for posting here. Here is v20b : http://www.lgmobiles.com/gsm/download/P970 V20B(Gingerbread Version).rar
We don't have it for N version. I saw the russian forum and wanted to ask you about howvyou managed to root v20a before this method.
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App
this method is working just v20a(attachment patched bin file) right?
Where how I convert .kdz to .bin file?
I know russian very well.So i shortly translate all procedure done here.
They patched original 20A bin file , changing system recovery.img with clocworkmod recovery.img touch version.
Download 20A.bin extract it,and put somewhere in your computer.
and below there is a CWM flashable superuser.zip.
Download it and put to your Sd kart.Do not extract.
Then simply flash that patched 20A bin file with smart flash procedure posted here from radkor
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448803
After finished flashing with smartflash tool go to cwm recovery and install superuser.zip
and you get rooted original 20A ginger.
Nice option for flashing and rooting
but we do not have 20N bin file yet.
we have only indian version 20B bin file, redpik posted it above
Thread moved
Unless it's a ROM or kernel you've created yourself, this doesn't belong in Development.
Doesn't SmartFlash auto erases all user data (factory reset at first boot)?
Okey... Maybe, tomorrow I will be a version (.bin) V20N

Ok. Let me try to understand this. They replace "system recovery.img" which is reside in the original rom bin file with "cwm recovery.img" (where to get this file?) and then flash it using smartflash tool. So after reset by smartflah, cwm is already in the phone installed. Then all is easy, proceed to install superuser.zip, etc..etc.zip.
How is it possible to obtain root by inserting cwm in the rom while cwm itself require root to run? Also, what's the "system recovery.img" that got replaced. Is it important?
Please investigate more. Need more info on how "patching" is done too. I don't understand russian.

I guess you need to investigate more how android works. Flashing recovery image with the whole system in a bin file makes cmw part of the "original" firmware so,like recovery that only can erase all this one can read/write in the system files. Sounds normal. I read on Samsung forums that they get root for latest versions by flashing a patched odin file and then a su zip. I will try it

Then we can say that this is universal method as long as cwm can be patch into the rom. Finding exploit is not necessary anymore. So, what's the function of the file replaced in the rom. Is it the original lg recovery method which is not available anymore if this we use this method?
Thanks for the explanation, I wonder why it hasn't be use before, maybe because lack of rom file in bin format?
Edit: downloading rom in your link, pls post how to proceed if you get hold of it.

to get the files out of a kdz: grab them while someone is using the KDZ program to update their phone. The files are extracted and put into "C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone" but as soon as the program detects no phone the entire directory is blown away. Too fast to grab the files. So either you update for real (in which case you have the time to grab the files) or you create a symbolic link between the C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone folder and another folder you create say name it C:\test. What happens is that files get extracted and then \phone folder deleted when no phone is detected but the files remain on the \test folder. So you get your files which are a "model.dll" file (in p970 case i guess something like lgp970.dll) and a .wdb file which is the firmware. How to proceed though to tinker further with the .wdb file so as to get bin file and baseband still elludes me
I bet our rom cooker knew how to unpack and repack. So, anyone?

update: doing some research and it seems to extract the bin files you need lgutils and the .dll file you get from the kdz extraction but I am not at home to look into it any further.

Did you just flash an update .zip that included the boot.img and the recovery.img?!
Im pretty sure that you should not do that!
Why are the the 2 Ste_boot. imgs being flashed to the same location? or there in the first place?
From the info you posted above it seems like the Partitions are pretty much messed up.
If you cant get into download mode then there is no way you can fix it.
I ended up having a brick from a CWM touch recovery (not yours) I couldn't fix and I ended up flashing stock everything and rerooting.

Do not format your device with any tools if you don't know what they do.
The device has a single flash chip, repartitioned into several Partitions, if you attempt to format you will format the partition table, then the device will require a new motherboard.
Those 3 files are separate partitions instead of one tar, quite common in other devices.
I would try to repackge the original images into separated tars,something like this....
boot.img as boot.tar
modem bin as phone.tar
cache.image as csc.tar
system.img and all remaning .img files, as pda.tar
then flash the all together via odin with repartition.

Help with .backup file.

My neighbor's phone was locked out by AVG and I dont want to reset it because of important notes and messages. I cant connect ADB since he hadn't enabled Debugging. I went to stock 3e recovery and took backup fro there and got .backup file in internal storage. I want to edit this file and remove the AVG and restore it back. How do I do so?

Unpack system.ext4.tar and delete AVG from /system/apps. Dont know if work but you can try.

Make a update.zip to replace build.prop and add this line in prop file.
persist.service.adb.enable=1
Edit: flash cwm first
Will cwm reset anything?

No, CWM recovery is just to flash the update.zip with the modded build.prop.
If you have stock rom installed, download stock rom and unpack system.img to get the build.prop file.
CWM can be flashed with SP Tools

Accidentally Parsed "ro.build.description" (In Dire Need Of Help)

Hello ladies and gents. As you may have been able to tell from the title, I made a huge mistake when playing around with my phone's build.prop file. I had tapped on the ro.build.description file and it pulled up the keyboard. I accidentally input an "r", so I deleted it, then saved and left the prop file, thinking everything was fine and proper. Unfortunately, that was not so. Upon my next reboot, I discovered several problems. The Playstore and gallery crash upon every open, and even worse, my internal memory isn't being recognized. I know the problems must be originating from the build description prop file, since that was the only prop file change that had happened since my last reboot. If anyone could give any tips on how to fix this or mount the external sd as internal, that would be wonderful. I need to be able to screnshot, install apps, and perform other functions that require internal storage. Please help me out ASAP.

extract the build.prop file from your rom.zip
make a flashable zip & flash it. will work normal again
(ifm u dont know how to make flashable zip, just get any flashable mod,
extract all files, delete all files , only leave the meta-inf folder with its data inside untouched & a folder called "system",
put build.prop into system folder, now mark both folders --> right click --> send to zip, put on sd & flash)
good luck!

Alright then. I have 2 questions though. Does the flash mod I use have to be specifically for my phone's model? And what do you mean by marking the folders?

I'm really sorry, but I don't know what you mean by my Rom. Generally, I'm pretty knowledgeable about my Android, but I've only been rooted for about a week. If by rom you mean like ClockworkMod or something, I'm just on my stock rom. If you mean something else, I don't know. And which slot in Odin would put this in? I only have experience with .tar and .md5.

sorry my llate reply, lets go
he bro u know whats the rom ) you say you are on stock rom, thats all i need.
clockwork mod is no rom, its a recovery.
sorry was a small hazzle for me as you use the AT&T version of the phone, now to the solution:
we need to just replace the damaged build prop with original one.
1. download the system image here: http://www.mrcrab.net/viewstockrom/19845-sm-g730a.html (or anywhere if u find, maybe at SAMMOBILE)
2. (try) to extract the parts of it, we need the system image. if u dont know how just google it, maybe some tools needed for diffrent kind of datas. once all extracted the build.prop is inside system (-folder). copy it to SD & replace via any ROOT explorer, set the right permissions, like in this pic LINK, reboot done.
if you CANT extract that image, make you ready for completly new install of your ROM.

i use slimkat 4.4.4 by android-andi on SGS3 Mini (i8190n).
1. using root explorer, changing perm on the first / (the root dir, i believe).
2. this one is new problem, nothing to do with our recent dialogs, hope can get some idea on this one.
yesterday, i install android tweaker app, and set the auto system/device tweak( can't remember exact) and reboot my device
to apply the setting. and got stuck on boot animation (blinking 'SAMSUNG' anim, after the 'GT I8190N' image on ori ROM). it
didn't loop (no bootloop), just stuck on blinking animation, boot image i guest?
Any idea just throw in please, really want to try and confirm on any solution we got in mind.
thanks in advance everyone.
