I finally got my phone back! Rooted ics from xbsa. All seems to be working fine. I had to reset my laptop, I got a virus that was slowly eating away at my system32 folder, which is why I was having such a hard time flashing any from successfully. Anyway I got another thrill, so if anyone needs a guinee pig, I have a test phone and time on my hands. Thank you all for your help!:laugh:
Which baseband did you put on your phone?
@pollutedmuse have u rooted on official ics? if yes kindly help me too

I flashed xbsav28broot.zip which is pre rooted and has twrp. Now she's on the v8 rom. I have been trying to root my other thrill which is running stock 30b and havn't been successful at all, for some reason the drivers are showing up. As for base band, that is a problem because both devices are omap4430/xmm6260, as such, they are on euro networks. I know from developer xbsall threads (check out his roms, very cool stuff) that I need a different baseband, and to change the network commands, but inspire of hours riffleing through sea threads I have yet to find instructions. I am sorry I couldn't be more help, I am brand new to this stuff. Good luck fellas. Drasric00 created a great thread "a moons guide to xbsa v8 ice 3d with acid audio" tremendously helpful, except for the baseband thing.

so i bought my galaxy s last november and was super excited for the super phone it looked like, it is my first android phone and started off amazing. a few weeks after i got it i downloaded 'kies' where i was supposed to be able to update to 2.2, but it completely fried the internal sd card, and bricked me phone :0.
luckily i had a full return warranty for one month with Virgin Mobile Canada (i'm from toronto)
since i got a new I9000 i got the 2.2 firmware to work (with great trouble!) and now have no trust for samsung's Kies program.
i have loved some froyo for the past few months and am a huge android fan,
recently i'm hearing of the gingerbread update coming to the galaxy s in canada very soon, now i'm not sure whether to trust kies with this possible bricking update or not.
so that's why i'm here, to ask for information on the easiest, safest way to root my galaxy s so that i can have the gingerbread update, i am a total beginner with rooting or even the idea of it, and would greatly appreciate any help that is given!
another smaller note is i am getting a message on my galaxy lately that says 'database storage is nearly full' with a popup that looks like a red SD card symbol.
what does this mean none of the internal memory is close to full in any way at all!
so to sum it all up should i trust Kies for Gingerbread?
should i give rooting a try? (and how is the easiest/safest way to do it?!)
and what is with this memory almost full message about?
thanks for any replies everyone!
you dont need to root to update outside of kies, its done with other software on your computer. With that being said, i would think if you are a beginner it would be easier/safer to do it through kies.
can you refer me to a way to update my firmware outside of kies?
Read through this - if after a couple of read throughs you understand what to do, go for it... otherwise yeah you might just be better off sticking to Kies.

I rooted my phone and i installed cyanogen mod. After hitting backup current rom, my phone rebotted and it now has a black screen with white, small letters that say "fastoboot." I'm new to this and do not know what to do!
If you installed CM7 on it there is your problem. Quit pushing buttons you don't know about. What phones CM7 did you put on your phone? Because there is no CM for the Zio. You need to do a lot of learning before you just do stuff bro. Go to the development section for the Zio and start reading.
Hope you have a computer to use.

Yea, i clicked on the first option. I don't even remember what it said, but thanks for giving me that tip. And yea that's how i found about the rooting.
I would recommend starting in the Easy Clockwork Mod Recovery thread as that is required stuff for running a rooted Zio. You have to know or learn how to use Adb/Fastboot from your computer. Im assuming you were trying to install/backup the rom on Rom Manager. Thats a nono on Zio.

You are very vague in your entire description of what you did and what is happening now. If you have CM running on your phone I would sure like to know how, and what phone it was built for, because I am certain no one has ported CM to the Zio. You said you installed it and now it's working, this should be impossible. Are you sure you installed CyanogenMod? And if you did where did you get it from? And where does it say Digital Roaming?
Sent from where ever I was when I posted this
First I downloaded z4 root on my phone. The next thing I did was install Titanium Backup from the market. After all this was downloaded the phone was rooted and i was able to delete preloaded apps such as sprint tutorials and other stuff i didn't want. Then I downloaded ROM manager which is where I downloaded CyanogenMod and chose 7.1. I chose the first option on the list since i didn't see the sanyo zio and it worked. The last thing i did was attempt to backup the current ROM and that's where it took me to the black screen where it said fastboot. Idk what i did, but when i tried turning it on for the last time, my phone was back to normal. Usually the connection status says 3G, but now it says that i am roaming.
Does that help?
Yes. First off there is virtually no support for Sprint Zios. Second off I would try to get in to your roaming settings and turn it to home only. Thirdly I would try to find out what phones ROM you have on your Zio(what phone the CM ROM was built for). Fourth and finally I'd say you are about a step or two away from bricking your phone out completely.
If you have insurance on it I would (lose it) and get a new one thru insurance. If not I would be very careful about what you do or try from here on out. I will check and see if the recovery for the Cricket Zio also works on Sprint, if it does I believe there is a Stock Rom from Sprint for the Zio here somewhere and that may just save you. May.

Im thinking he didn't flash anything and is somehow back on original set up. He's not said it was running CM7. Just that its running. With a model id of Zio its super unlikely he successfully flashed anything. Kernel id and mod version will tell. But anything is possible.

Thats your stock Sprint ROM. Stay on it. Dont flash anything else as your phone has no ROMs or recovery. Just leave it alone.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
Well one last thing im concerned about is it is still saying "Digital roaming"
I would try reprogramming it. Update Radio and Prl. On Cricket we had a number to dial. Like #blah blah#. Find out if Sprint has a number like that.

Tsk Tsk Tsk.... read forums on how to do it please!
But I'll help anyways, USB Debugging mode needs to be turned on, on your phone.
You need to have the LG Thrill USB drivers installed on your PC
You need to enter USB debugging mode on your phone... Should work after that.
Usb is on and yes i have current drivers installed....im not new to this stuff just new to the thrill coming from a captivate
any help is greatly appreciated

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S GT-i9000 on Orange, UK. I've only had it a week because I bought it off my brother. I upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 and although it seems fine, there is no signal at all, EVER. Although it get's wireless Internet! And the SIM isn't damaged in any way, so it is definitely a software issue. The Internet is a bit strange, because it is coming from my network, not Wi-Fi (it's off, as is bluetooth).
I'm liking ICS, but obviously I need a signal. It was easy to upgrade, I just booted from the zip I placed in the bootloader. But I can't downgrade the same way. I've tried looking for old Gingerbread files, but can't find any! All the Depositfiles.com links are dead. So, ideally I would like to stick to ICS and find a signal fix, failing that I guess it's a downgrade that I need?
Or should I upgrade to Jellybean?
I couldn't find anything on people having similar problems with network loss, but I'm 99.99% certain it is the software causing the issue.
Thanks for reading.

I'm downloading DarkyROM now, but it's going to take 2 hours! Is this the right way to flash a modem? I've not done it before.
Hi
I had a similar problem on my old SGSI. I flashed an ics rom (don't remeber the name) and everything worked apart from the network so no phone calls and no internet apart from with Wifi. Anyway i googled the problem and tried loads of different solutions. After flashing more roms i ended up with the DarkyROM_v11.0_black_edition with the 3.0.17-semaphore_ics_1.2.5s kernel.
This didn't help either. In a last minute test at the end of what felt like the longest day in my life i checked to find that i had damaged one of the contact pins that read the sim card. I bent it back and everything has worked since then. And it's worked well!
Thanks, it was the modem needed flashing! Very simple too I also downgraded to Gingerbread which is faster.
Thanks everyone :cyclops:

Hi,
I bought a samsung exhibit II 4g from walmart last year. The phone was not very responsive for the past couple of months and hence I contacted T-Mobile customer support. They provided me the instructions to upgrade the firmware on my phone and I tried that with Samsung Kies. It is one of the worst software I have ever seen in my life. The firmware upgrade stalled at 3% and the only option I had was to take the battery out of the phone. Then when I turned on my phone, I got a message saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue". I tried to fix it samsung kies and it did not work. My phone was not working for 3 days when I was doing the research to fix it.
Finally, I followed the Exhibit Wiki on xda-developers (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131576) and followed the ODIN method to install the custom ROM (I could see that it is the latest firmware for this phone). Everything worked on the third try, but Wi-Fi was not. When I clicked on Wi-Fi from settings, it displays "Error" under it. I tried Wi-Fi fixer, but it did not help.
I tried a factory reset and that did not help too.
Can some one help me? I need to get Wi-Fi working on my phone.
Thanks,
Balaji.

Hi,
I did the following things and now my wifi is working.
1. Installed custom rooted kernel t679-root-v1.8.zip.
2. Installed Root Uninstaller Pro by downloading the .apk from playstore and installed it.
3. Uninstalled some stock apps from the phone.
4. Installed CWM Recovery.
Tried turnin on Wi-Fi and now it works.
Thanks,
Balaji.
Glad to hear it is all working out now. Don't worry about root uninstaller. Chances are you will never need it. At least you got here before you managed bricking the phone from following other guides not meant for this phone.
Good luck and remember the only dumb question is the one not asked. Feel free to ask when you find you need advice or guidence. Someone will always be here to help.

I see that xda-developers forum is very active and provides a wealth of information. Though it took couple of days to understand the basics and things, I was able to fix the phone using the information from the forums. Thanks for keeping this forum active and up-to-date. I am marking this thread as SOLVED.
