Hi Guys
As a avid folower of all the cooking and chefs i need some help
My X1 is still under factory warranty and seeing as the stock X1 was slugish , slow and plain useless i updated my ROM to the KOV110
Is there some way i can revert this back to the original factory rom so i could take it in for repairs still under the factory warranty
Currently the Sony updater just tells me to that the software is not recognized and i cant do a update of any kind
Reason i want to take it in is that the battery life is half a day from full charge and the signal drops permanently. The phone also restarts at will and hangs on ocasion regardless of where i am or what im doing.
Any help or sugestions will be apreciated
Thanks
hi
yes it's possible
in rom dev sticky section is all you need
pavelx1 thread for original (stock) x1 roms (is currently being updated)
biovolt thread for video tutorials (4+5 if necessary)
olinex h-spl thread to dl and restore stock spl
cheers

Hi Guys
I am hoping that someone might be able to help me.
I have a Galaxy S+ that just randomly reboots. It is running 2.3.3 i believe (Friend is using the phone atm)
I got the phone on contract and actually went through 5 phones (and entire stores stock) only to find that all of them have this issue.
No i believe that its a software problem and not hardware as Samsung themselves have said nothing about it and the Samsung Specialist @ Vodacom (my cellular provide) has said that there isn't anything that they have heard or that they know of.
I have already rooted the phone, obviously the problem was happening before the rooting of it.
So my question is that does anyone think if i updated the rom to 2.3.6 or whatever else is available it might fix the problem?
I would prefer to keep the rom stock but will go with idea's that anyone would have.
Secondly where would i be able to get updated stock Samsung i9001 roms?
O really wanna give me gf this phone at the end of the month so please if someone could help me i would appreciate it!
Many thanks in advance

i'm not sure about the rebooting problem, but 2.3.3 had other problems in my country, u couldn't send an sms if u had 3G ON , so t-mobile updated all the devices to 2.3.5 , it might be a sign that 2.3.3 has some bugs. my opinion would be to flash one of the stock roms out there , or check if u have an update through kies (although i don't recommend updating with kies as there's a big chance it will freeze during instalation - ya , another crappy samsung software).
Thanks mate i think i will def but i am looking for a uk stock rom?
All i can find is german and polish and balkin.

it depends on what u're looking for, i personally prefer stock with a few tweaks here and there. u can check the custom roms available in our dev section, it's not a big choice ,but u can see if any of them suit ur needs.
sudden restart
i am new around here,i got a i9001 and it sudden restarts on every rom i installed, costom or stock. first i taught that it restarts because of its ram, like the memory dump on pc, but then i saw, that i rebooted it and after 10-15 min it sudden restarted. i've been to my carrier for warranty, and what they did it was only a flash of rom version 2.3.6 and they gave it back to me. after about 2 hours since i got it back, it did the sudden restart again. srry for my english.

I tried xxkpu and xxkq1, no problem so far.
If your phone is under warranty, ask for replacing new one.

they said when the phone came back "the phone did not present the problem sent for" on the warranty paper. They know about this problem, but they dont wanna lose money with extra costs for i9001 owners, it was a mistake made by samsung on this model and they dont want to assume it. I read more about this snapdragon oc processor used on i9001 (1.4 Ghz) and it says that it overheats sometimes rarely in first months, but after some heavily daily use it enters a restart loop ( probably after your warranty expires) and the phone becomes useless. sorry to say that for i9001 owners.
"Recently, a growing number of smartphone users experience temperature-related CPU failures that seem to be inherent in Snapdragon-powered devices, and typically manifest only after several months of smartphone use. Symptoms of this hardware failure are unexpected reboots of the phone, especially in higher ambient temperatures and under high CPU load and/or Wifi use. The phone may then enter a "reboot-cycle", which can only be stopped by removing the battery and cooling the phone. Over the period of several weeks or months, this behavior becomes increasingly frequent and occurs at progressively lower ambient temperatures and CPU loads, until it reaches a point where the phone can only be used in refrigerated and/or air-conditioned environments. It is speculated that deteriorating solder bonds of the BGA matrix (i.e., a lost connection between the Snapdragon-CPU and its motherboard) due to thermal stresses occurring in normal operation is the underlying problem for these failures, and CPU re-heating procedures have been proposed to remedy this problem, but so far with mixed results.[23] These hardware issues have not yet been officially acknowledged by companies that use the Snapdragon processor in their smartphones, even though a very large number of devices (HD2, Desire, Evo, Droid Incredible, Xperia, Galaxy S, etc.) seem to be affected. "
this thing is copied from a romanian site, which was meant to be a review for the snapdragon processors.
Sorry for beeing that silly, but did you resetted your phone?
sure I did, like i said, i tryed everything possible, formattin' partions, hard reset, wipe dalvik cache..

Yes you can. There are lots of useful posts here guiding you through and holding your hand, but *you* need to spend 5 minutes looking for them, OK?
I don't know which ROM you are on, but generally GB has been very reliable. You might wish to reflash the rom or flash another version.
As a start, look at this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Thank you very much for your help
Thank you very much for your help. I forgot to write that I don't know how to flash phone via PC. I never did it with galaxy note. I don't know which rom I have, is any link to video or info for a people which are not familiar with such things ? Thank you. All about this root-ing looks wrong for me, I need just to update to older version from uk, I don't see any uk update, and all it looks difficult for me ! I need to update do 2.3.5 without brick effect...

Your request does require you to take time reading and trying out. Probably 2 hours of reading/learning time, 1 hour installation of software and trying out.
If you are at all unsure about any of this or if it's simply too much hard work, take your phone back to a Samsung Care Point and explain your problem. They will reflash it for you.
i updated with this rom yesterday through twrp, flash, install, reboot, flash ftf, and it all went smoothly.
the only problem is i have no mobile data at all. none.
wifi works great, but the second i leave my house all i got is text and phone
the post on the forums had a 6902 and 6903 ftf to flash , but my model is 6906.
do i try the whole process over again and hope it fixes it self
flash a 6906 ftf that is the same version?
great rom,

Damm...wrong button..well, ok, you have tnx now
Use rom thread to ask something related to it.
But yes, you should use bin folder for 6909, you probably don't have right files.
Ask on thread and guys will help you, someone will have same device..

im less then 10 posts i cant post on the development threads
so thats why i posted here, i tried a 6906 ftf and it didnt work, figured out gps and mobile network are not working.
great rom tho i like it i just want it to work correctly
After read the posts above, I decided to ask before do anything...
My Z1 is C6943, and I was thinking if this ROM will work if I flash the C6943 kernel after flash the ROM.
They said "We only support c6902 and c6903, you can try it but we give no guarantee". So, here I am... and the question is: It will work??? or I'll have the same problems with mobile data and GPS and possibly other things?
In another scenario, what if I flash via flashtools the C6903 kernel after flash the ROM?
im gonna just wait till they support 6906 , went to the evo black rom so i could get my internet back,
wtb a paranoid android rom for locked bootloaders zz

I just Installed the ROM a few minutes ago, and everyhting is working!
That is what I did:
First off all, I wipe the phone under Wipe/Factory reset.
Installed the ROM from external SD Card, and then POWER OFF instead reboot.
Holding volume down, I plug the USB and then flashed the stripped FTF for C6943.
Now I have the ROM working, with GPS, Mobile Data, WIFI, NFC and everything else.
Don't know yet if I have something with misbehavior, because I did it 10 minutes ago.
Well, is it. Thanks!!!
GREAT
Someone else who follows the instructions and is so surprised it works he has to share how he did it...and basically quotes the install instructions...

Hi gregbradley, first of all, I have to say thank you...
I follow your posts and I see every day your effort to help people like me.
I know your acknowledgement about many many things, and it helps me to clarify a LOT of doubts without even PM you or even ask silly question, even when I know that you can be ironic and a little rude sometime. (I'm saying by me, about my perceptions)
About your comment I want to say 3 things:
1 Yes, I shared how I did it, if you read my posts above, you will see that I was afraid to be on a boot loop after flash the ROM, or don't have mobile data and other functionalities after that.
2 Yes, I basically quote the install instructions to show how easy was the installation for those who want to do the same. Spread the word is what I believe.
And
3 It's not my first android phone that I root, install custom ROMs, flash kernels, etc... I just want to prevent to do something wrong and transform my phone in a beautiful piece of nothing...
Again, thank you for all your support on XDA forums, and I'm sure that you makes this place better and better everyday.
Well said, and I apologise if you thought I was being rude, that was not my intention

I bought 4 pieces from Alcatel Idol 4 mobile phone from Saudi Arabia and one of them works well, but the other three mobiles have the same problem (When I call someone or someone calls me and hang up the call, the mobile doesn't respond and stop working for minutes then it restart itself, and that happens every call I make or receive) can anybody help me or Is there anybody knows how can I root my Alcatel Idol 4 or Is there a custom rom for Alcatel Idol 4 or What should I do with my problem mentioned above, please anybody has answer reply me ASAP, and I'll be very grateful for you.
Thank you

Not sure if rooting will help you, as for now there is no custom ROM yet. DeckerSU just released guide flashing tool and wrote a rooting guide, here on the forum.
Before rooting, try a factory reset of the problematic phones, if not working bring them back for warranty.

Thank you Mr. sebbync for your reply
but there is a problem that I live in a place that we can't leave it to bring the phone back for warranty it's very hard so the problem can be solved by myself only..... if anybody can help please don't leave me without solution or hurry with root and make a custom rom for the Idol 4....
Try and use Mobile Upgrade Q utility from Alcatel website I support section, this will let you restore the phone to factory state.
If it doesn't work, you'll have to be patient for someone to release a custom ROM.
