Help regarding AOSP 4.2 Jelly Bean ROM - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So as the title states, this is regarding the AOSP ROM 4.2 Jelly Bean, I installed it and it seemed to be working fine until I actually tried something, the wifi didn't work so I tried installing the fix, I plugged it to the PC and nothing happens, it doesn't even charge, tried 2 different laptops and 2 different PC's. So I sent the fix over through bluetooth and installed it, the wifi isn't working eitherway, so I guess that there is no point of using the phone since I can't really get a single app, I want to install a 4.1 or the default XXJW4 2.3.6 gingerbread version and I'm wondering how do I do that now when the usb isn't working, also note that I've done nearly 50 ROM installations and I have never ever had a problem before, this is the first time. What should I do? Is there a fix for this? If not, how do I downgrade? Please help, ASAP, my beloved SGS i9000 is useless atm and It's nearly making me cry (well not obviously, but yeah, I need help) Best regards, thanks in advance.

your phone can go to download mode? if can should not have any problem for flash to 2.3.6 GB, if you wan to flash 4.1 JB you can copy the ROM to your ExtSDCard and boot to recovery and flash the rom for extsdcard or you can use filemanager to move the ROM(File) to you int.SDcard and flash from recovery.
BTW which AOSP 4.2 you are using? if from pawitp you can try this my one is working and i try it many time and having the same result .
if now your are on the same partition layout as CM10 stable, follow the step below
1) Flash the rom 4.2 (20121125) following all the step given by the guide
2) Flash Google Apps
3) reboot phone to normal (turn on wifi if not working then go to step 4)
4) Reboot to cwm and flash wifi fix without wipe
holp this will help. :good: enjoy

New user of a Galaxy Note, I remarked a strange thing with the way the Galaxy Note manage the wifi connexion. At my home, I've one Wifi network. One access point is into my desk and the second into my living room. When I connect my Note on the wifi into my desk room, I got the Wifi at 100% (of course as I'm at 2m of the antenna ;-) ). Now, if I move from my desk to my living room, the Galaxy Note still remain connected to the Wifi of my desk room witch is not good because I lost the 90% of my wifi power.
My question is now: Does it exist any solution to have my Smartphone switching automatically depending on witch room I am ?
For example, with my iPhone and/or iPad, both device automatically use the more powerfull signal (the one of my desk room when I'm in and as soon as I'm more closer of the antenna of my living room it switch to this antenna).
Last information, same problem with a Galaxy S2.
Is it a limitation of Android or a "specificity" of Samsung devices ?
Thx for your feedback !
Force shutdown every time I runs any application
Hello, newcomer's here. I've rooted my N7000 & installed stable CM 10.1.3 ROM, but I can't run any apps more than 10 minutes or less.
When I runs an app (especially games), even when the battery was 100%, the device will force shut. When I immediately turned it on after the
force shutdown, it will force shut at cynogenmod boot screen, but sometimes when I managed to (barely) get in, the battery bar indicates there's
only 1% charge left. So, I thought I should try BatteryCalibration, but still the same issue. Then I thought maybe it's the ROM, so I
installed the updated nightly version CM 10.2 ROM, and the same issue occurs again. I've searched in "All Forums" and found the idea on "wipe
battery stats" in recovery after install new ROM, but I can't find that option in CWM. Then, I read the idea of wiping battery stats has no effect at
all in the battery issue (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256038). So, I flashed the stock ROM back and I didn't
face any issue on force shut and rapid battery drain anymore. But I've found a similar situation faced by other member in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506468. Do I have to go that far just for remedy?
Is there any solution for this? Because I like custom ROM than using the stock, it's fast and swift RAM usage. Thanks for any advice on this.
Did you try a different battery to start with.?
my N7000 (factory firmware 4.1.2) was in charging, then suddenly its turn off automatically, then i switch on it, it stuck at boot screen..
cannot go recovery mode,
can go download mode with android logo, not ' ! " logo
flash back factory firmware, ordin stuck at boot.bin..FAIL

N7000 screen
Hi, I'm not sure wether this is the right thread, but it is a question and I do need an answer..
Does anyone know wether the display of N7000 is the same as SHV-E160L?
I have one N7000 with a broken glass and LCD, and can get hold of a SHV-E160L for same price as the display only.. Would there be a way to frankenstein the LTE possibilities of SHV-E160L into the N7000?
Hope someone has hands on experience with this.. At least the screen part, since it is the main reason for the project..
LTE would be the icing on the cake..
Not sure of the screen but LTE is the compatibly dependent on SOC. The SHV has a snapdragon processor and Exynos doesn't have.
how to disable custom rom flashing twrp recovery? and just stay on cwmr?
First post ever on forum, sorry if i did something bad
You really can't. If the custom rom (may be you are referring to kitkat) comes only with twrp, you need to live with it till some kernel Dev makes a kernel with cwm compatible 4.4.

[Q] Bricked my Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 Gingerbread 2.3.4 - Need help

Hello,
AS the title says, I Bricked my Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 Gingerbread 2.3.4.
Here is the brief story.
1. Rooted my phone successfully by following instructions from forum discussion - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282011
2. Flashed rom "cm_ace-ota-eng-.beta8" - Beta 8 for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 (16 Apr 2012) downloaded from website - http://galaxyics.com/releases/phone/2
3. Meantime installed CWM through Odin Multidownloade 4.38, followed instructions from website - http://androidadvices.com/how-to-update-samsung-galaxy-pro-b7510-to-jpkc4-2-2-2-firmware/
4. Once cm_ace-ota-eng-.beta8 is flashed, rebooted phone. Here where things went bad. Now, I cant boot to Android. Samsung log flashes and its stuck at BLANK Screen with sky blue color.
Not sure, whether its a soft brick or totally bricked my phone.
I can boot to CWM recovery menu. I even tried to flash different rom but in vain.
I tried "Android 4.0.3 based Custom ROM for Samsung Vibrant — Ice Cream Zenwich" for second time but no luck followed instructions from website - http://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-4-0-3-based-custom-rom-for-samsung-vibrant-ice-cream-zenwich/
Not sure, how do I fix this problem.
I searched on google for recovery options however, cant seem to figure out how that can be done. Request for your assistance.

However, I need bit more help here. Request you to bear with me.
@ an0nym0us_
from where can I get the stock rom ?
I searched google for stock rom and came across following article
yagyagaire.blogspot.in/2012/01/how-to-flash-official-stock-firmwares.html
is that ok to follow the instructions from there ?
sammobile.com
Make surr you can boot INto dl mode using power-vol down-home combo.
To make cm beta 8 work: wipe system and data, and cache. Flash beta 8 then after inatalling zip, install it again without wiping anything. Then reboot.

good enough to get phone back to life
I will give that a try and post back how it goes...

All, thanks for your inputs and time.
Thanks so so so so so so much again.

God bless you all
You can't just buy a mobile and next day flash what is a beta rom without at least spending a day or two reading the stickies on here and reading and understanding the complexities of flashing what is a rom which still says on the opening post for devs only. Some.people who have followed Maclaws rom from the start still experience problems when flashing a new beta. Hope you read enough to understand about flashing, rooting, backing up etc before you try again to install Ace's most awesome and ground-breaking rom. Take full advantage of what, as was previously stated, a very lucky escape.

Very true. I was really lucky !!!
Now, phone working perfectly fine with Android 4.0.4 (Kernal V 2.6.35.7-perf-CL945787)
However, noticed one glitch though. Camera is not working with this rom, when I tap on Camera, I get a message " Can't connect ot the camera ".
I havent rebooted my phone, since it recovered ( i mean post flashing ). Perhaps, a reboot would help.
If the camera doen't work, then I need to live with that, thinking at least phone is working condition

Guys,
Sorry for the trouble again...
I need one more help.
I have backed up my contacts using kies before flashing my mobile. However, when I connect my phone to my laptop using usb, kies doen't detect the phone. I beleive, thats because, kies doesnt recognise the new andriod kernel.
Is there any way to restore my backed up contacts other than using kies ? I have around 600-650 contacts.
Thanks for any inputs.
Maclaw's ics is aosp. kies wont detect any rom other than Samsung's stock rom.
The camera stull doesn't work with our ics, so just wait till next beta.
On your kies problem, kies only recognizes stock roms.
You should always keep your contacts on your google account!

Thanks for your input.
Is there any other application, using which I can restore my contacts ?
I mean, an application which is capable of reading Kies bkp file and restore contacts or any tool which can read the Kies bkp file and allow me to imposrt contacts in csv format or at least some readable format ?
Perhaps, answer would be NO but still wondering....
For contacts you can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882861&page=2 but I dont know if it really works... first time i flashed my ace I got the same problem and I finally give up (damn Kies!)
You should backup your contact on sd file (Contact-Export-Sd) before flashing, its the most easy way!
For camera there's no way, it doesnt't work on the rom yo've installed, it's clear on the site where you downloaded it (Bucktracker section: https://github.com/GalaxyICS/android/issues?sort=created&direction=desc&state=open).
Hope I help you.
...sorry for my english
I remembered I did that before. By converting the contact file made by kies but I forgot already. Sorry can't help ya there!

[Q] Galaxy S I9000 problem

Hello again, I really need your help guys.
I installed Slim Bean 4.1.1 version(3.0.31 Semaphore) few months ago, and after I had some problems last week, so I decided to update it, but it all went wrong. Installation of 2.7 version didn't go well, first I had problems mounting system in recovery mode, and after few restartsmy phone doesn't want to boot at all. When I turn it on, it just shows Samsung logo and that's it. I can't access recovery mode also, but download mode is still available and I can enter it. Question is, what should I do now?
I know I could flash new ROM with Odin, but I don't know how to do it, and I don't know which ROM should I flash. Can anyone please explain this to me, I would be really grateful?
Thank you in advance.
just install the valye pack using odin and then root it... goodgle it will get lots of links....if you are not able find anyone let me know I will it to you..
if you plan to install JB then make sure you glash it three times as there is a change in the partition layout...

Thank you, will try it in a few minutes, download link is really slow.
I found this:
http://techdraginfo.blogspot.com/2012/06/install-new-android-236-xxjw4-value.html
Is it ok?
If I install this, and if this firmware gives me no problem, what do you think about idea that I just stick to it, and not do anything else? I don't have to root it anymore, right?
if you want to stick then no need to root it....
Now I can't connect with Odin, it doesn't recognise my device at all.
try installing usb driver....and uninstall kies
I did all that, but I still cannot connect it. I think it's down to drivers, I can't install them correctly, and I tried couple of different ones.

[Q] GT-S6500D (jenad) problems with WiFi and SD (internal sdcard0)

Dont stone me if repost, but believe it is not, I honestly tried to study this and other forums for last almost 2 weeks without any results:
I got Mini2 with GB stock ROM and first rooted (using Poot exploit) and upgraded gradually to CWM 6.0.4.5 and CM 10.1 and later CM 11. Didnt discovered any problems except for sdcard0 mount problem as described may times. sdcard0 is not mountable under CWM 6.0.4.5 and CM11 but I think that this can be solved using other threads in this forums, so not a matter here and now, however, it may hint you what is possibly going on. The main thing is, that after trying to experiment with OC kernel, my WiFi always indicates ERROR when trying to switch it on. No matter if in Stock ROM or CM (any version). I tried to reflash Stock and CM (10.1; 10.2 and 11), even repartitioned with ODIN (3.09) and reflashed Stock ROM. No improvement, no change.
Strange thing is, that it was said, that after flashin CM (or CWM not clear now), the offline battery charging does NOT work and phone alway reboots. That can be confirmed by me, but with that exception, that it does NOT work either after reflashing Stock ROM and Stock RECOVERY. Even after this, phone never switches OFF when connected to the charger, just reboots.
I have always did full WIPE (data,cache, format system).
Currently I have Stock ROM 2.3.6
kernel 2.6.38.6-1248583 [email protected] #1 dated Thu Nov 7 20:39:38 KST 2013
Baseband S6500DXXMK1
Recovery reports "Android system recovery (3e)
During last Stock reflash the baseband got upgraded. I am a PC guy, not an Android specialist, but from everlasting WiFi problems and offline charging not working even with Stock ROM and Stock recovery, it looks, like something somewhere got left from my tries with either OC kernel or CWM/CM and prevents Wifi from being switched on. Curently my Stock is rooted so I can get some logs/info anybody can need willing to help/investigate..
Any help or pointers to troubleshooting are highly appreciated as I really love my little cute Mini II.

[Q] VERY worried about flashing miui rom and new bootloader.

I have just recently restarted using this phone due to my uscellular S4 getting turned off. I am now back on my LG-P990 currently rooted and running CM10.1. BUT most importantly to me is the fact that I have all my wonderful apps on my s4, I want to be able to use them by using the LG phone as a tether and calls not much else BUT CM10.1 tethering does not work, so i find myself flashing rom after rom, avatar rom, older CM mods, none would turn on tethering, so i flashed a modded version of MIUI for this phone and it worked except for ONE thing no signal, tethering turned on just fine so i decided to look around for other roms and found Slimrom TRYED to flash it didnt work, try to flash actual MIUI roms off there site, didnt work, met with an error in CWM Recovery after some searching I found its because Im running the OLD Bootloader -_- THIS is the issue im having IF MIUI does NOT work is it possible to downgrade the bootloader again so i can restore my CM10.1 backup? I have been working at this for a week, if there is something here about this can someone please just point me at it? I would appreciate any help.
On a side note i DID soft brick the phone the other day and found a program called nvflash witch flashed an install of CM mod. Dont know if that will help any.

I really do not understand how other ROMs deny Tethering. Did you flash the latest 2.x kernel by pengus77 after installing the rom? Did you make a clean install(wipe everything then install)? On the other hand, yes you can switch bootloaders as much as you like, just remember that changing the bootloader wipes everything on your internal memory, so do a backup. Did you try just plain old stock 4.0.4? Should work there. Ask anything you want, if you're still having questions.

When I flashed CM 10.1 I just ran with it, when i go to try tethering it says "Turning on portable wifi hotspot." and it stays on that no matter what untill i restart, left the phone running for 2 days once and that was still stuck on that before i restarted. As for flashing a 2.x kernel i had no idea about that. But yes when i did the installs i would do a clean wipe and install. Most of what i read online led me to believe that there was an error with CM 10.1 nightlys that was not being fixed for the tethering. So that is why i decided to go to another rom. Two questions one how do i go about finding the original firmware for this phone and two how would i go about updating or downgrading the bootloaders and could i be pointed to the files please?

Okay, This is SFSP by @sgspluss which is a pretty fast, stable and battery-friendly slimmed down version of stock ICS. It is available for both Old and NewBL, so you might want to try that first. This is AIO Toolkit. I know that you've used it and bricked your phone, but try again, and for the love of God install the nvflash drivers because most people skip that part. You have to do it manually and if you're running Windows 8 you need to disable Driver Signature Verification. But yeah, you switch bootloaders with this.
