[Q] GPS doesnt work

I can't get gps lock in any app on my tattoo, It doesnt even show the gps icon in notification bar. I have tried to reset the phone to factory settings, to wipe everyting and install rom again(1.6 ROM) and nothing helped. It works only with 2.x ROMs but that doesnt work for me becouse I need camera. I have tried almost every 1.6 ROM and non worked but it worked with every Eclair And Froyo ROM. Does anyone know what may be the problem. Sory for my english

Did you flash the stock ROM and unroot?

these two threads helped me:

I had the same problem and solved flashing SP-FroYo ROM, booting and then flashing again the nandroid recovery i had on the sdcard (but should work with any other 1.6 rom).
I don't know why it works anyway

Read the first red line, it's your last resort.

ok i'll try to unroot and flash stock rom. i hope it will help

where can i download stock rom. i cant find anything on google

Google for "shipped roms". I would give you the direct link but I'm on a reaaaaaly slow connection at the moment.

ok thanks.

Confirm, u have to flash stock rom and then re-root and re-install recovery rom, than u have to flash the rom you want to use, and your gps will come back from hell, working again for you

yes you did use the wrong one, try following one
RUU_Click_HTC_WWE_1.67.405.6_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
The one you have tried has previous bootloader than most of our tattoo's and you can not go back
Bit irrelevant for you but some one actually claimed that version you tried to install had S-off Radio

it worked
thanks for help everyone

[Q] Clockwork Recovery Problem

I am trying to get the latest version of Cognition onto the wife's phone, but it's not exactly cooperating. I used Odin and wiped everything back to stock, but now I can't get Clockwork Recovery to work with me. When I try rebooting into recovery, I'm met with this:

That was after trying the reinstall package option. Any idea what I'd doing wrong? I'm so used to everything being easy with my Nexus 1 and G2!

select reinstall packages again...you have to do it twice the first time.

Keeps failing. That normal?

read about it and you can fix it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213
or you can load up the JF6 ODIN instead and actually be stock:

If my goal is to maintain root and install another rom, the first link is my best bet, right?

Sorry I didn't pay enough attention to the screenshot in your op.
Either method pirate linked will get you to the point where you can flash a new rom.

Allrighty, followed the directions in the first link, and now I get this:

I seem to have sorted everything out. Thanks for the helpful suggestions.

No reason to worry, get the roto distro, fire up Odin 1.7 and flash your device.

Before I forget, make sure you remove your SIM and external SDCard, also this is for GSM devices.
Cheers and good luck ;-)

ah this one you mean but if i really got a damaged SIM card slot, i need again a stock rom, how to manage it?
and before i forget, i can't get into downloading mode, because nothing happens when i use any button, only this screen

uhmm... not sure what you mean. Have a tab since 3 days, but managed twice to get the similar screen like you, once because i turned off the device bevore the flashing was done (punch me), second time when i actually removed the memory card, however, restarting Odin 1.7 with the above posted link to the roto files, I was always able to flash - ahh.. and once I even locked the bootloader, no other ROM was flashable, ROTO still worked.
I learned my lesson, and unlocked the bootloader as described in the sticky.
You might want to check if you got the correct drivers, also other users reported that they had to drain the device, then reload for 10 - 20 mins, then it worked..
Hope this helps.

You don't have a damaged slot. That is download mode when a flash didn't go correctly. Fire up odin, and reflash. Check all your settings carefully.

Rooting Samsung i9000 DXJPA and installing Cyanogenmod using Heimdall

Hi all,
I want to root my Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 and install Cyanogenmod 9 on it.
I'm using a Mac and will be using Heimdall.
The problem is I don't know where I can find the correct version of Clockworkmod for my phone. Can anyone point me in the right direction? My phone details are below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
Also, is installing CWM actually rooting my phone or do I need to do something else?
Thanks!

If I do update to 2.3.6, how does that get me closer to rooting my phone?

Yes, because you need the gingerbread bootloaders to install CMx anyway. So do this.
1. Upgrade to 2.3.x with kies or Heimdall. Doesn't matter.
1a. Put the appropriate cm9 files in your SD card. (Gapps, ROM)
2. Flash semaphore or devil kernel .tar files under pda in Odin. Not sure about heimdall sorry!
Note: Please note that recovery is packaged with the kernel on this ROM, so flashing a kernel changes your cwm as well.
3. Now, you phone won't boot, no big deal. All we need is the recovery. Reboot into recovery and flash the cm9 file.
4. Now wipe data / factory reset
5. Reboot, Rejoice, enjoy

Problem switching ROM on Samsung Captivate.

Whew, I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I've searched through the threads hoping to find something that would help me but I keep hitting dead ends. Ok, When I first rooted my Samsung Captivate over 5 months ago I used Odin method. I flashed speedmod-kernel-i897-k13e-500hz to my cappy and then I flashed Slim Bean 4.2.2 build 6 and I loved it! Since I liked it so much i flashed Build 7 when it released and then to what Im at now which is Slim Bean 4.3. After I flashed Slim Bean for the first time it changed my kernel from speedmod-kernel-i897-k13e-500hz to Semaphore 3.0.91+. Yesterday I decided i wanted to switch up my rom to the Avatar cappy rom. So I got the rom and the gapps. I then loaded in recovery which changed to Semaphore CWM 6.0.3.6 after the flash. I then did factory wipe then cache then delvik cache. I selected the avatar rom to install and it gave me a status 7 error. I searched it and it brought me to the mobile odin fix. So I downloaded Mobile ODIN and when it loads it says "A compatible device was detected, but with an unexpected partition layout". So that was just a kick in the face. I searched what ODIN said but didn't get a good answer or fix. I've also tried to switch to TWRP but when I try it says there are no recoveries. If anyone can help me I would be so grateful. I'm kinda green at this whole rooting and rom flashing but it really intrigues me! Thanks.
PS. Sorry if there is already a thread for this. I didn't see anything.

I don't know anything about TWRP but if you are using CWM, do this....do all your wipes....then go to "Mounts and Storage" click on "Format System".....then flash your rom and gapps and reboot.

I don't think you can go directly from 4.3 to 4.2. You might have to flash kk4 without bootloaders and work you way back up.
Imo, even if there was another way, i'd still take that one to be sure to have a clean install.

Ok thanks I will give that a try! I had that same thought so I tried 4.3 CM10 but no luck. I will try to flash that kernal. I flashed the speedmod kernel the other night but it still acted the same. i will give what you recommended a shot when i get a few minutes. Thanks again!

Hey just checking back in! I'm glad to say that flashing back stock worked flawlessly! I used Odin One Click to go back to Eclair then I just flashed speedmod then [4.2.2]Captivating(Xperia Themed)[RC2]. Everything is running great! Thanks for all the help!
