[TEMP] [FIX] Charging phone with phone off.

resolved. Close thread

Shaquiel Harris said:
Thanks to tnpapadakos for the info. to fix the charging phone with phone off auto boot to recovery issue all we have to do is use the 2.5.1.4 recovery. then you could always flash back to the latest clockwork recovery when you dont need this one anymore but can go back to the other one when you wanna charge with the phone off.
You could either flash it or put it in your sdcard in clockworkMOD/download/mirror.kanged.net/recoveries for easier access to flash from Rom manager. Make sure its named recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-vision once its there when you go to ROM managerr and go to all clockwork recoveries, you can flash that recovery without getting an Error! or rename it to recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-vision and flash it through that option.
Now does anyone still have that recovery? We can't get it from the ROM manager because you will get an ERROR. if anyone has it, post it here and ill add it here for everyone to get.

I looked in the first page.. there is no such fix about fixing the phone booting into clockwork recovery when you turn off the phone. I'd lovea link to the page in that thread were you posted the fix.
edit: OP here is the recovery you were looking for 2.5.1.3 correct?

Open your eyes and click the button that says "Search this thread" when you are looking through a particular thread.
And yes, this thread is an absolute waste of space as this fix has been around for quite some time now....

You led to me links on the first page of an ancient thread that have no use because they dont work. and the first link only leads you to download the latest recovery. But here's the best part, your link you had in that thread doesn't work anymore. How cool are you?

While you would rather be right. We would rather be happy.
Also... what good does it do you to give you what you want? It's more helpful if we show you how to get there instead... teach a man to fish, right? So how about you stop expecting (and demanding), and instead learn a little... it won't kill you to read through a thread (I'm still here, aren't I?)... instant gratification just shows how arrogant you are.
As for the broken link? There are numerous posts about a mirror being made by someone... how about you click "search" one more time?

Here guys... wasn't too difficult for me to find, even with the search being down...
damien667 said:
Its not a kernel patch, its a init.rc service than runs before recovery that reads the kernel command line for the offmode_charging variable... if it sees it it stops recovery from starting (even though you are in fact already booted into the recovery system) and starts a keypressing service (to reboot phone into regular boot mode when power button is pressed) and also the battery charging service that is supposed to display the battery icon charging animation (which doesn't work in cwm)... those services (binaries) were grabbed from the OTA recovery... if you read my previous posts, you would know.

Fantastic. Thank you

[Q] Think i've bricked my Nexus

Hi Guys...
I'm a complete Android noob, and an idiot to boot... I bought a UK Galaxy Nexus SIM free last week, and flashed it with ClockworkMod over the weekend in preparation for CM9.
when i went to boot into Recovery, I got the droid with his Chest open, but no options to access anything / ROM / etc...
So I searched the market for a Custom Recovery, thinking this was what I needed... the second i tapped 'install' my phone seemed to trip out (almost like a fuse tripping, but quietly...
Now my phone won't turn on / boot up / or anything... After screaming and shouting at my self for being such a c*ck I looked online at the Market to see what it was I had just installed on my (now) £500 paper weight, and turns out i have installed an ACER tablet recovery image.
I use Mac iOS-X Lion, and my adb won't detect it at all...
What do i do...???? My knowledge of this stuff is... well... not good enough to have been playing around in the first place... can someone please point me in the right direction to get a Samsung Bootloader / recovery / whatever, and tell me how i load it up
thanks

If you have battery pulled and your phone won't turn on, even after charging, there is not much anyone can do.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear...
First thing, pull the battery and put it back in. Then hold down volume up AND down and then press the power button whilst continuing to hold the volume buttons. If you're lucky you'll get into fastboot mode. If you do, you can then flash the stock image back onto the device (see this guide for instruction on that).
Assuming it works, you can thank yourself lucky and walk away safe in the knowledge that READING UP ON THINGS YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND WILL HELP YOU IN THE FUTURE
Should also point out the above is all for Windows so get yourself a decent OS and you should be OK

It shouldn't brick while flashing recovery - is that all you did? Which app did you use?

It depends on where recovery was flashed (as in, destination of flash).

? why dont you go for where you bought the device ! they will probably take money for fixing it but better thant throw it in the rubbish

Not really the answer i was looking for
Just come off the phone to the person that is looking at it for me... Odin seems to be detecting it, so he 'thinks'... he might be able to push factory firm where back on it... although, its gonna cost me a fortune
Fingers crossed...

Ok... if you want a laugh (at my expense)... I flashed Acer Recovery Installer on to it... was too eager to get it done, and just presumed because it was in the market, it would work
I feel like a complete ar5e and I'm sure if this guy fixes is, I'm gonna be paying top dollar for it...

You really shouldnt be paying anything for it. It sounds like you could have done it yourself reading through the guides in the dev section...if you aren't going to take the time to read and learn, you shouldn't be rooting and flashing...

I wouldn't have charged you to get it working personally, just that you covered the cost of postage
If it can get into ODIN then you should be OK. Get any random Nexus FW on it to get it booting then use the factory images to get the latest official FW back on it and job done

1. Download a valid CWM image to your computer (toro or maguro).
2. Reboot into bootloader mode (hold vol up/down + power with the phone off, or adb reboot bootloader)
3. fastboot flash recovery C:\path\to\recovery.img
Done.

what? your actually gonna pay someone to do it?...odin is the easiest tool kit to use...a child could do it...if you cannot use odin, you have no reason even customizing or rooting your phone in the first place...not to sound mean...but one has to read and research like most of us to achieve the things we want out of our devices....most people hear are not gonna hold your hand and do the work for you....read the thread odin toolkit.....it really is so simple I did it my first try to put 2 phones back to stock....what's the worst that can happen?

[GUIDE]For Starters(Newbies)

NOTE: Noob is not a really good word. kinda discriminating. newbie better.
THIS will GUIDE how to get on foot if your just starting on Galaxy Y, most probably, ANDROID
1. First Things first. Know your Phone. before doing anything, just be on the stock for a while. Know all the things, settings, install some app and alike. This way, you'll know your way through. See apps like market, Maps and others, check bugs etc.
2. Second part is knowing a basic tweak of your phone, to be exact: BATTERY SAVINGS. Know your way from this apps. See how they handle your battery life. The purpose of this is to know the performance of your phone
3. So you feel much better knowing your phone, you can start rooting or installing some replacement apps Go, ADW, Pansi, Popups, keyboards its up to you. But i dont recommend instant rooting when your just getting on foot.
Rooting wont brick the phone, maybe but its in the least.
(I wont be giving links for many threads here are available already. Its hard just to give you everything when researching can't kill one)
WHAT IS ROOTING?
rooting gives you access to the system of your phone. thats it
Soft ROOT-stated in the above
Hard ROOT-gives you access to the commander of the system which allows you to access the device via shell extensions and ADBs
4. Same as step 1. See how does root work for you. Dont just access the system right away using an explorer. look for apps that can help you achieve your desired goal that requires root access. a good start would be RAM tweaks.
5. Removing apps that you dont need. Its the power of Rooting that grants you this. basically, it improves RAM usage and speed of the device especially when "app-example.apk" initiates on its own. ofcourse it increases the capacity of your device.
6. KITCHENS. for a start you can use the UOT kitchen which allows you to modify some parts of the device. as far as i know, mods like transparency, lockscreen and bootanimation wont work on stock dont ask why coz i dunno sorry. so using this kitchen can allow you to change statusbar appearance pull down notif bar, etc.
but, the MAIN concern of a KITCHEN is ROMS.
ROM is the thing that the device reads for it to run properly.
ROM development are for making a benefit that can help a device achieve its fullest performance. Speeding it up, etc.
You can see the Development Page for it

FLASHING
Flashing is a way of updating or down-dating your device.
Odin is the tool used in it.
If KIES wont let u update. Flashing would be good but you just have to download the firmware you want.
PARTITIONING.
since SGY got a small memory for internal, u can use partitions in the SDcard to let it handle some memory for you.
BOOT recovery:
it is where you flash mini updates like rooting CWMod, UOT kitchen mods and others
**Clockworkmod recovery / CWM is a custom CWM it has additional features moreover see for yourself
i guess thats it ill just edit it if somethings new comes
THIS IS FOR NEWBIES, no noob persons exist: ONLY NEWBIES.
hoped this helps you can just PM me for assistance but for now please bear with this simple guide thanks
PS: im no dev but as soon as i got my laptop ill start im just using a netbook and my phone for learning. so thanks

sure thing but it would be really better if you read some threads here. a lot of those stuffs are already here
1. download the rom you needed/wanted
2. download odin v1.85 w/ totoro.pit
3. turnoff phone remove sim + sdcard
4. open odin and put the files into:
boot
pda
csc
modem
something like that. put there the files you downloaded.
check if re partition etc are checked
then now get the data cable, and put the phone into DL-mode
(HOME+VOL-DOWN+POWER) hold till it boots into DL-Mode
pressing VOL UP- continue
VOL DOWN- Cancel
press the vol up so and youll be on DL mode
connect the cable wait for it to be recognized by the Odin, if ok pray and start.
just takes around a min to do so. the phone then reboots automatically. do a hard rest and boot again.
voila
since your a filipino you can check symbianize.com for infos. reading some guides there by our masters will surely help you
*so as the rules say here read threads first before asking though its ok for me. it would be nice if i'd helped you bro

How to flash a kernel

Well i tried that and it keeps messing up my phone. Can you be more specific?

Can you be more specific? Instructions are good. I suspect you are using a kernel that is not compatible with your rom, or not for your phone.

When in recovery:
-Make a backup of your current ROM (this goes for whenever you are about to flash anything)
-Wipe cache and Dalvik cache
-Flash kernel of your choice (make sure it works with your rom and is for your phone model before flashing)
-Wipe cache & Dalvik cache
-reboot and let phone sit for 5-10 minutes
If your phone ends up in a boot loop or you run into a ton of FC's then the kernel isn't for your ROM, either choose a different kernel or a different ROM.

Thank you sir!

What are some good apps for overclocking and underclocking and all that good stuff?

What ROM are you on? Most ROMs nowdays (AOSP/AOKP/CM derivatives) come with some sort of performance control app already baked in (some work, some don't for one reason or another). But without knowing what you are running, you'll get generic answers.
Otherwise you can just search in the market for OverClock and see what they have. SetCPU, CPUTuner,...They are all out there.

I appeciate that too sir.

Now I'm having a PROBLEM where kernels won't install. I check kernel version and it remains the SAME. Can someone HELP please?

Do some reading in the thread for the kernel you are trying to flash. You're doing something wrong. But giving us info like " I'm having problems again, I cant flash a kernel" is not helping anyone to help you. You'll have better luck READING instead of wanting it spoon fed to you. All the info you'll need is there in the threads for the kernels. Search, read, accomplish.

You've been asked numerous times to help us help you. Without the info on what you're running, you're just hurting your self and cluttering up the thread. Please tell us what rom you are running and what kernel you are attempting to flash each time you post.

Right, we know. BUT! We know what we know from reading and rummaging through the threads finding out what we needed to know. We found answers for ourselves instead of crowding up forums with our problems. Search the threads, if that doesn't work, use Google. You'll be surprised what you can find on Google. Then, then, if you still don't find it, read some more.

I have been searching around and sometimes you find outdated stuff. I know that you guys are helping but you really don't want to then you shouldn't post in this thread. That's what the forums are for. I had to ask and make sure so that I didn't softbrick my device again.

[Q] How do I improve battery life ie what tweaks work?

I'm using Snipers PACMAN, and battery just seems to drain way to fast. It is the latest push. Being newly registered on here I hate to introduce my self this way but I need advice. What tweaks are being used by people for the SPH-D710 to help with this issue? I originally started with the CM 10.1 rom and found I had no data, flashed a different modem. Still no data, switched roms and now have data....go figure! But the battery drain is killing me, I've got it throttled back as far as I can go and it still be a daily driver. So anyone have any suggestions?

Godlys Comadose Tweak pack works great:thumbup:
Give it a shot and thank him while you're over there...here's the link

OK....now I'm lost as to which to try and use.....reading the posts to the provided links seems to give contradictory information as to where to start this journey.....

Most 4.2 Roms use ICS modems. As for battery us betterbatterystats found here on xda or gsam in the play store to determine if there's any rogue apps keeping the phone from sleeping. I also do manual syncing. Greenify is a great app to keep apps from running on their own. You can also use a custom kernel to limit max frequency and even undervolt. Kernels also come with different governors

After reading through the above posts you should have some useful ideas about what this governor does.Also...as for installing a governor, they will be included in the kernel that flashed with ur rom or a kernal of ur choosing(MAKE SURE IT WILL WORK WITH THE ROM YOU HAVE) Im new to this, so if there is another way I dont know about it. Do ur research... As for setting a governor.. There are many roms with built in performance controls as well as many apps to set them. I suggest (set cpu) . It has a setting that will make a zip so u can recover from ur settings if u bootloop. This is found after u install and give it root permission. Hit ur menu button and click SAFE MODE. You should have a nandroid; always and just because.I hope this helps.. Remember...Read...Read...Read..lol.. Good Luck.Also read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005306

You identify yourself as "new to this" but you nailed this post 110%!! Many people would do well to take what you said here to heart. If they did there would be MANY fewer "help me" threads.

Thank You...... I went ahead and added another link for him to read. I hope it helps. As to what you said, I like to think of myself as the poster child for the search button..lol..I think if you do the research it makes you feel better when it works and it is more likely to stick with you. This site is so great about that because there is just so much knowledge here to learn.I think some people get over-whelmed by it though or they are just unsure and need that go ahead push to know it works.

Ok since I can't ask a Dev a question about the kernel I want to install.....which I kinda understand, but being stuck not being able to ask questions about something specific after reading all the pages blows! (rant off) [Kernel] Lightning Zap! Phase 4 Updated 15JUN13 is causing a boot loop, I followed all the instructions to the letter, crossed every T, dotted all the I's. Thank god for backup! Since I can't ask the Dev a question I'm stuck!

Well, you're commenting on a thread about battery life, but not posting about battery life. That's not going to help you much.
I also read that you want to ask a question, but I don't see a question in your post. If you do have a question, a great place to post it would be here: [Official] One Stop FAQ Thread - Noob Friendly (All questions go here). Okay? :good:

Well let me clarify it for you, it's my thread. The original question is still valid being as I was pointed this direction by a reply to my original post. Let me lessen your confusion on this matter......What other steps can I take to increase battery life......scripts didn't seem to help and a tweaked kernel put me in a boot loop....and whom do I ask if not the DEV?

Hey bro, easy on the tone. Because there are so many ways to ask the question, the best way is to just spell it out how you did above. Battery life depends on the apps/ROM/user all at the same time. I am on Project X ROM. It has Crossbreeder installed. Now I am not no where informative about that app other than a lot of people like it. So with that being said and it is installed on the ROM, I leave it. I also have ROM Toolbox Pro. I have adjusted my CPU control to 1000MHZ. I also have DS Battery Saver Pro set to custom and to kill all apps when the screen goes off. Last the ROM I am on comes with Greenify. A great app in saving battery. I also turn off data and only have WIFI on when I need it. No need to just let things run. With that I have had 50% battery life left after 11 hrs. That is my setup and may not work for you. The main thing is to understand that battery life for EACH phone is different no matter how many common denominators people may have. Team Venum did a comparison of ROM's and their respective battery life. I don't know the post, but if you type "battery life" in the search, then I am sure you can find it. As for you response, I was in your shoes at one time. It does help to be specific in your questions. Not saying that you weren't. Reading each and every post will get tiresome, but if you type in what you want in the search, you will get a slew of post to get info. I have only been a member for 4 months, but I have learned how to flash a ROM, Mods, push and app, setup custom home screen. I have even been given the honor of testing a ROM. If you still need help, you can PM me and I will do what I can. Have a great one.

Its fine,you can rant here...lol..Ok ,I need more info.....
rom you're try to use with lz kernal
how you went about flashing said kernel
did you have any other tweaks or mods flashed before flashing lzp_4
All of this info is important, so I can tell you what is wrong....Thanks..

Thanks Gil, this is exactly what I have done.
1. flashed from 4.03 to WILD-FOR-THE-NIGHT-07052013-d710, had no data....tried to find a fix for that...gave up after trying tweaks to help with the battery issue and no data.
2. Clean install of d710_PAC_JB_4.2.2-v23.0.0_20130719-015400, now have intermittent data, wifi works, blutooth works, flashed Fl24 modem with no apparent improvement in data connectivity, thought after reading a kernel flash might fix issues, here comes the boot loop....flashed smdk4412_p4 waited patiently for 2hrs watching Pacman chasing ghosts.....booted into recovery and ran my backup tried it 2 more times on clean flashs gave up after 5 hrs. By clean I mean wipe/reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, install from zip.
3. this is how I installed the kernel:
Make a backup
Download .zip to PC
Transfer .zip to sdcard
Reboot to recovery
Flash
Phone automatically rebooted after install
waited and waited......boot back into recovery. restore by backup.
everything has been done with CWM based recovery. I'm stumped....frustrated to no end......

First off...I have had the lzp_4 boot loop on me. I pulled the battery,waited about 2 min. Put it back in and booted to recovery. Then I wiped cache and dalvik. Rebooted and it took off(booted fine). I have no idea why or how, but this worked for me. Now to my main concern. If you came straight from ics to a jb rom I think this is going to cause you issues, if you hadn't been on jb before. I suggest the one - click full restore(it wipes data,so back-up you're internal memory).This will get you're phone partition right for jb. After this. I think you should be able to flash what you want with no problems. I didn't see a problem with how you flashed. Wipe cache and dalvik on the kernal flashes you do.Here's the link for the one -click..
go to linked page and click on download ota at top of page
I would read through the page it sends you to well.Don't forget to thank those guys..Hope this helps.Hit me up if it doesn't.

Doing a one click restore worries me, I'm not on sprint any more and worried about losing my flash to my current carrier. Is this a concern I should have since I'm not used to working with odin? I'm more than willing to try another ROM also, I'm not locked into this by any means.....

The carrier should not matter if you are on an E4GT phone. But if your trying to go to a JB ROM, you will need to aupdate to GB** for your phone. For sprint it is GB27. Have you tried RWilco12's repository to see if your carrier is listed? Also QBKing77 has a lot of videos concerning this specific phone. How to flash specific ROMs and upgrading specific build, modems and such. Something has got to work for you.

Well now I'm stuck on Sprints 4G boot screen just keeps looping.....WTH.....I've never had a phone be a pain like this....guess I let it kill the battery and see what happens. Recovery is there, not cwm so can't even restore my backup. I'm just frustrated by this phone! Gill, bigmike any idea which way to turn now?

What ROM did you flash? Was it ICS or Jellybean? What carrier are you on. That was never revealed.
Never kill the battery. I sed you tried" Wild for the night" and Pac something. Can you get to recovery?
