By "us" I take it you're with Expansys USA. Any chance of getting a US warranty with the GS2? :)

(I'm on the fence on this device, primarily due to all the posts I've read regarding having to get a replacement, or more than one, due to some HW problem. It's impossible to quantify the failure rate by reading forums like this, but the prospect of possibly having to swap phones via shipments to the UK has got to be putting off some buyers.)
[Galaxy S II General] RMXO:
Thanks. Email sent for one.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
wow, hiding and not posting for 3.5 years!!! :)

great idea! dear Expansys-USA can you please clarify the warranty/support situation for us please? thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Yes, buy it through an authorized dealer in the UK and then you can have it serviced by Samsung in the U.S. under their global warranty program. If it's a UK product, with a UK invoice, billed in GBP, you're covered worldwide.

Expansys USA is acting as an intermediary and shipping the phone back to the UK for service via their UK office. It's really cool that they're doing that. But it adds several days each way that you'll be without your phone.

BTW, do we really need two pages of posts on the incredible inclusion of a $5 UK>US adapter?
[Galaxy S II General] eallan:
Nothing wrong with appreciating a vendor that surprises you and goes the extra mile.
[Galaxy S II General] xxmwxx:
I actually bought 2 phones off of them and only got 1 adapter. luckily I have a bunch of them laying around..
[Galaxy S II General] kakwvu:
You just made it worth it. I'm not cancelling my Handtec order now. I remember when I purchases a Motorola RAZR2 from overseas to use on CellOne and Motorola told me to get lost about the warranty. This is fantastic news.
[Galaxy S II General] silverwolf0:
Sorry to rain on the parade but those things cost like 10 cents and EVERY single phone I've bought on eBay with cut-rate prices comes with one, especially the ones from Hong Kong. Hell in Hong Kong every block is a crappy knicknack store that has bins of them next to the umbrellas. Websites like Plemix, cellularXXX and all the other phone dealers in the US or globally come with one if they sell to the US. Its more a damnable offense if you buy an imported phone and NOT get an adapter. Akin to sending a phone without a box or packing fluff. You shouldn't be EXCITED, you should be HELL YEAH YOU BETTER OR ELSE!
[Galaxy S II General] samnada:
I would like to take your word for this, and have Samsung US be bound by it, but I'm going with the old adage "trust, but verify". :)

I actually called Samsung US and asked about this specific warranty policy. They said Samsung US will only service handsets for sale and purchased in the US. Phones purchased in the UK would have to be shipped back to the UK for repair/replacement.

Also, here is the Samsung UK warranty. I don't see anywhere that it states warranty service will be provided by Samsung locally worldwide.

http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/warranty/warrantyInformation.do?page=POLICY.WARRANTY
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
Agree. As I mentioned before in some other thread - just go register your phone on Samsung UK support site, and then try to open a support ticket with a request to have the phone serviced. They require a UK address.

How do you guys expect SGS2 serviced here in the freaking US of A when Samsung guys here have no parts nor ideas about fixing it? The phone is not released here officially. They would not send their US techs to repair classes for every single Sam phone released in every remote corner of the world.
[Galaxy S II General] samnada:
What I would like to see is Expansys USA be willing to quickly swap phones in the case of a HW defect, and then they would internally deal with shipping and repairing the bad phone. Just like a retailer will do if you walk in. If they did that I'd wager they would see a major increase in US sales of UK phones.

Edit: Expansys warranty states returns are accepted within 15 days, after which you must contact the manufacturer.

http://www.expansys-usa.com/terms/

So, a partial loaf. Pretty much comes down to how lucky you feel, and how inconvenient it would be to ship to UK for repair.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nilxchaos:
I've had my phone rooted since August, you all might know me from the 2.3 thread. Anyways, I've been wanting to go S-OFF to change that infuriating white splash screen.

However, I'm on HBOOT 1.47, the bad one that doesn't work with darch's ENG-SPL. :mad: It flashes, but doesn't change to 1.46 S-OFF. I can use Regaw's S-OFF method, but I don't want a permanent S-OFF, just in case.

How do I get to 1.46, preferably without RUUing? I will do it if I need to, but I'd rather not take all that time:

1. Backing up

2. Running the RUU

3. Re-rooting

4. Installing ROM Manager

5. Re-doing Firerats

6. Restoring the nandroid.

So, can I get the ENG-SPL without running a RUU?

I thought that was a RUU? One second.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
Nope the ruu in zip format is on thedarknights thread. If that zip dosent work then I think you can just flash the .27 radio and then try flashing darchs eng-spl. " I think" Also that zip is for Ra if your on the newest cwm you will have to chang the scripting. That you will have to pm duce or jm for they know about converting zips from Ra to cwm. Or you can just flash Ra temporarily and try it. Then flash back to your current recovery.

Sorry, different link that I thought was posted.

I am using cwm 2.5, that's still amend though. Does that matter?

I also have .29 right now, I'll try .27, since I just flashed this and I'm still 1.47 S-ON.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
Your good as far as the recovery. And yea try the .27 radio because darch-spl doesn't work with .29 and then reflash the eng-spl zip. Its a long shot but it might work.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nilxchaos:
Huh, that wasn't said in the thread at ALL. Thanks! Let me try.

Flash radio then eng-spl, or radio->reboot->spl?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
Hummm. Id say flash radio first. Then reboot. Let it settle in. Then flash the eng-spl. After flashing the spl reboot back into recovery then power down. Then press and hold volume down and power to see if it took.

I have the .29 radio and flashed darch's file from the OP on his thread using CW 2.5.0.7.

It didn't take the first time though. To get it to take, I booted into HBOOT while I was S-ON. Then hit Home to go to recovery. I then flashed the zip. Then I rebooted recovery. This is when it updated the HBOOT. Maybe I just got lucky because I have seen others having issues with flashing with the .29 radio.

EDIT: Thought I should clarify, you can reboot recovery from the advanced menu.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
@poashil

Yea you got lucky "imo" because it was a know problem with the .29 radio. If I'm not mistaken he already tried and it didn't update it. But I don't use cwm so your way might work for him. And I myself had to down grade my radio to flash it. And did you flash the zip from the op?? Or the one I posted???

Root/Hack-Mod_Always*
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poashll:
Zip from the OP.

I am tempted to flash back the 1.47 HBOOT just to try it again. I know it didn't take the first time I did the flash, but I rebooted the phone that time. So I tried it with rebooting recovery and then it took.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
If you don't mind me asking When did you dl it???

Root/Hack-Mod_Always*
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poashll:
I just click on the link on the OP and it downloads it. Just tested the link.

UPDATE:

So I went ahead and flashed 1.47 HBOOT and I am now back at S-ON. Now the 1.46 won't hold. :(

I got it once so I am going to try again and record the EXACT steps when I get it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poashll:
First, this is way more steps than the initial time I loaded this, so I think laie1472 is correct that I got lucky the first time.

To flash 1.46 Eng-SPL with the .29 radio I had to use adb/fastboot. So first I plugged the phone to USB.

1. Load the CW 2.5.0.7 image file to the root of your SD card. (Can be found here)

2. Reboot to recovery and Nand your phone.

3. Wipe data

4. Wipe cache

5. At cmd prompt:

adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-heroc.img
reboot recovery

6. flash the heroc.hboot-1.46.2000.zip

7. reboot (Choose reboot system now)

From here the phone should show that it is updating the image. Then it will boot to FASTBOOT USB.

At the cmd prompt type

fastboot reboot-bootloader

It will restart and you will now see you are S-OFF and the HBOOT will be 1.46.2000.

Press vol down to get to HBOOT (you will be in fastboot). Press HOME to get to recovery.

If you use firerat's, you'll have to reset it back up. Restore your NAND and reboot.

And that link you posted is a dropbox link not the link in the op. I don't need it Ive had that zip since he posted it. I was curious because you posted you flashed the zip in the op and that made me think that mabey darch put it back up.

I was told the following:

"If you are running BAMF v1.6.3 and you installed it correctly, you already have the update, it's based on the leaked copy of the Verizon update that's out now."

True?

I was thinking of installing the ROOTED version of the OTA update that just came out a few days ago, but if BAMF v1.6.3 is already the update....what's the point...right?

Also, when I flashed BAMF v1.6.3 I did not flash a radio, so I'm running the stock radio (BAMF v.1.6.3 does NOT include an updated radio). I would like to flash a radio combo, but I am confused on which is the "correct" radio combo.

Is there any consensus yet on which is the correct radio combo?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerozehl:
If you are running the 1.6.3 then you already have the update and no need to flash anything other than the new radio. You don't have to actually use the new radio if you don't want to. There is a thread in the development section with 4 combinations of radios for your enjoyment.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DontCome2MyHouse:
That's what I thought. I read the thread with the 4 combos of radios. Just not sure which combo to choose:confused:. Is there a combo that is more preferred than others?

Does anyone know which radio combo the new OTA update is using?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerozehl:
I would give the first one in the list a try and if all is ok, then terrific -- and you'll then be running the latest radio (the OTA).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayhem8869:
I was running the 1st combo on the list (latest) and I got nothing but random reboots and intermittent data connections. I flashed the 2nd one down and its has been good so far. Even used GPS status and get a GPS lock quickly now. Running BAMF 1.6.3 as well.

Hy,

I'm using CM7.1 on my Milestone and I wanted to change the virtual keyboard. I downloaded smart keyboard pro and it works, but everytime I reboot my phone and I want to type something the original keyboard is in use. So I have to go to the settings, tick smart keyboard and untick android keyboard, but EVERYTIME when I reboot my phone.

Then I deleted the android keyboard from openrecovery, but it didn't help, because after every boot I had no virtual keyboard, so I had to tick smart keyboard all the time...

Then I had another idea, I put the smart keyboard to system apps in openrecovery, then it was ticked after boot, but... :) it was force-closing in every 3 seconds.

So I changed back everything. I tried with other keyboards as well (download+install from market, but same issue with smart keyboard) or do I have to use a different method to install a keyboard?

This is the second day, I'm using CM7 ( I was using official 2.2.1, never rooted the phone before...) so I don't really know everything, but it seems to me, that the phone must start with android keyboard and if there's no android keyboard installed it starts without a keyboard, so it forgets the ticked keyboard after a reboot. :(

hi everyone, i hope yous can help

ive only had my O2X for a couple of days now and already full of problems.

it froze on me , just a black screen so had to take battery out.

now i have installed LG Software Update and ran an update that was available for my phone.

now my phone is constantly rebooting at the LG logo welcome logo

i have tried to hold volume down and power on but it takes me to a SW update screen and doesnt do anything so i have to remove the battery again

what can i do now ? :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] mickeyc1983:
WOW

that was quick , my phone is now on but with tonnes more features than before

i now have the live wallpaper option, a different lock screen, lots more apps installed like facebook for LG, myspace for LG etc and a better clock/weather widget +more

im still on 2.2.2
[LG Optimus 2x] K.D.M.:
no worries.

i hade the same thing... u have to use NVFlash to get back up and running again..

i'll search for the links... another advice is after u used NVFlash. stick with version 10A. so no LG Updates, just root and run custom roms. its more stable that way.. ofcourse if u want to stay @ stockrom u can use the LG update menu..

and by the way it is

press power on. let the power button go and then press down... and keep pressing down till the update screen post up

brb

Read carefully, its not an easy way to flash, but im dutch and i get it u will get it.
