now i have flash the stock light v4 custom rom and inside the zip it have a boot.img file, so it flash a kenrel too. now i have
.
i flash a custom recovery and counter goes to 1. (i dont care about it, i dont have any waranty so i can complete ignore this)
my main reason it was to fix battery drain issue on android os. it seem like i didn't change anything.
now i have download a file from official Samsung page. title is I8190XXANC2_I8190EURANC1_HOME.tar.md5 .so i can go back to stock.
My question is will this make my phone complete stock with everything like stock firmware, stock recovery, stock kernel? again i dont care about the counter. i just want to change some roms and then i want to know that i can revert back anytime.
also if there is a fix for battery drain issue even on stock i will appreciate it.
thanks in advanced.

Please help

I just got a new g1 and after i registered it everything i click flashes on the screen then closes real fast. i cant even power it off becuz i will say the device options menu and it will close.
did you try pulling the battery to force a reboot?
yes i did and now im stuck at a caution screen
you need to give more details.... rom: modded or stock. if modded, which one
use proper grammar (or atleast so its descriptive and readable)
give more details on whats on the screen
Okay, I am sorry for the grammer. I bought the g1 off ebay and figured out how to use adb to activate it with wifi. I then started using the phone and everything would close as soon as it opened. I think it is a regular tmobile stock rom and i downgraded it to rc29.
maybe this will help you put your mind at ease

never mind, that might have made it worse
OMG HE DIED?!?!? WTF WHEN!??! HOW?!?
if your running the regular rom idk what you can do other than reflash your rom
find 1.6tmobile ota update and flash it. its probably caused by permissions issues
but theres no way to fix it without root
so you do or you dont have root? what screen exactly are you seeing when you take the battery out and turn it on?

[Q] Flashing CWM Recovery - can't see my phone model

Hello all! Hopefully, I put this thread in correct section. If not, please move it.
Anyway, here is my question.
I installed ROM Manager because I want to try some other ROMs on my SGS i9000 and when I want to flash the CWM Recovery, the only option I get is Google Nexus S. Is this normal? Should it show my model? Can there be any problems if I choose Google Nexus S option?

Thank you!
What ROM are you currently on ? if its a custom ROM you may have the Nexus Drivers, and that could be why it is only showing you that option.
there are many other ways of flashing a custom ROM so dont give up if ROM Manager starts acting up.
i personally prefer a flash with ODIN and all update Flashes through CWM
I recently upgraded from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3. Here you can see more info:
As far as i know, this is not a custom ROM, just leaked one. Or am I wrong? I upgraded it with ODIN too and it wasn't hard, I just think it would be even easier, if i didn't have to use the computer and could download ROMs directly on the phone.

Can't access CWM (with pics)

Seems my problem is so different from others, i think.
so here are some pics of it so you can understand my problem for i can't really describe it.

Did you do ever flash using Heimdall or Odin?
I'd rather go the procedure described for installing the OVERCOME rom. - It's pretty safe and if you follow all steps, you should end up with a fully working device.

[Q] [S3 Mini Value Edition] CWM or TWRP Recovery

Hi guys,
it is possible to put CWM or TWRP recovery on my Galaxy S3 Mini Value Edition (Model I8200)?
Probably yes, but how? I have tried (Yes I know, sorry) to flash the Recovery from the "Golden" on my phone. When I have done that, it boots up, crashes and don't enter in the recovery.
If I don't hold any buttons, it boots up (Android). But I already have messed up with the Recovery
Fixing the recovery can only be done with flashing a valid one now or putting back the Stock ROM (And I don't want stock)...
So, I have tred to make a CWM Recovery for the phone, but the files necessary to pull from the phone, I don't find on my phone (Maybe it differs from phone to phone).
I REALLY want CWM on that phone and I will try everything that you guys says to make on that phone. If you need any files, I will back right up and upload there.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Here are some files that you guys will prbably need: (Extracted from ".tar.md5" Stock ROM)

Here a picture of the content of the Stock ROM if anyone need to know what's in...

[HELP] i9305 Bootlooping and ODIN Stock firmware fails

Hi All,
I'm looking to fix this S3 from this boot loop problem. It ended up in this problem from use, not by firmware changing.
ODIN Fails almost immediately when trying to Flash.

I've used the Firmware file name: I9305XXUFNI3_I9305DBTFNI3_DBT from a XDA forum page
This was running Stock Firmware (Grey Import) with root via Framaroot. No Custom Recovery or any Custom changes like Radio firmware).
Before my replacement phone arrive, I had a very similar problem one day and I attempted to do an ODIN Firmware flash to recover, it failed to flash then also but must have done something because my phone continued to work for another 3 months.
I have recovered everything I needed during this time but now I want to get this phone working again.
I can't see anything physically wrong with the phone and there isn't any water damage. I disassembled / re-assembled to check for any internal damage.
Please guide me where I should proceed from here.
