[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zehkaiser:
I've noticed that my USB devices sleep with power polling (checking for a wake command, I'm guessing) after the screen goes off. I see my numlock key and LED in my mouse turn off, but blink on every 10-15 seconds. My volume keys on the device also do not wake it (I have an app to do that). If they numlock and LED on the mouse come on I can wake the Xoom with any of the three. Is there any way to keep these devices on? And will doing this allow the Xoom to "sleep" and not drain all day?

Hi,

First, sorry if this question has already been asked ! I've searched but couldn't find a similar thread. (Sorry for my noobism and my English mistakes as well !)

I have a kind of problem with online images display.

I often open in my browser (so far on my desktop computer), "large" images (wallpapers for all resolutions, weighing not over 2.5Mo), that I need to visualize not resized. When I reproduce this on my brand new TF101, here is what happens, depending on the browser :

- Stock Browser : the image is automatically downloaded, I can't open it in the browser itself

- Firefox : the image opens in a new tab correctly, but resized to my resolution, and when I double-tap the size increases over 100%

- Dolphin HD & Opera Mini : some images open the same way as in firefox, others are downloaded the same way as with the stock browser, and I didn't find a pattern in this behavior...

So I'm looking for a browser or a setting that would allow me to view non-resized images in a new tab. I didn't suspect it would get so difficult !

Thanks in advance !
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AlexTheStampede:
Opera mini is the wrong one for you: since it compress the data, the images will be always sub optimal. Try Opera mobile :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] b.l.k:
Thanks a lot ! This version of the browser displays the images perfectly !
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chatch15117:
Opera is a great browser! I use it on my desktop and all my devices.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slbenz:
Rajeev,

Just like Samsamuel said in his post, go into MAGLDR, select option 5 which is USB Flasher, connect your USB cable to your phone and computer, then flash the CWM partition recommended for the ROM you will use. You will not lose any of your information.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
yes you will, all partitions will be wiped and rebuilt.

[Galaxy S II General] Lennyz1988:
I know you put a lot of effect in this, but I think it is totally obsolete, if you can't follow the instructions given by Chainfire....

Instructions - ODIN (long)

- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!

- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip

- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer

- Start ODIN

- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar

- Put your phone in download mode

- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer

- Make sure repartition is NOT checked

- Click the START button

- Wait for the phone to reboot

- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)

Then you really should not be around xda.
[Galaxy S II General] iznee:
After such a long narration...i really feel that..after this, if anyone still ask how do i root using chainfire's method??...Really needs a kick on the arse
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
I think you're being way too harsh on the guy.

A self-confessed noob, he obviously did his homework, and as he says, it may spare other noobs reading through 50+ pages.

Over-detailed? Maybe. So what? Who's he hurting/offending? Not me for sure, why you?

"Then you really shouldn't be around xda" - Bollocks. Who made you judge, jury and executioner?
[Galaxy S II General] Lennyz1988:
I am not talking about him. If I did that it was not my intention. My apologies for that. I was talking about people in general. If they can't follow the simple instructions given by Chainfire, then they should not be messing with their phone in the first place.
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
Fair enough. Whatever. But since your first words in your reply were:

- sure looks like you were talking about him....
[Galaxy S II General] capaxdoli:
thanks for the support B3311.

let us keep the forum free for any questions that may crop up. <i know i had a ton of them before i went into the procedure>. one more aspect - as mentioned in the primary post, this is only to be in conjunction and not to replace chainfire's awesome root. he is busy making stuff so i guess we should not overburden him with the description and then a ton of question that usually follow by noobs like me :)

P.S. thank again for the support B3311 <never usually get those online>
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Nothing wrong with posting how to for noobs as the original posts of any method are often spread over a few pages and even desperate topics .

[Galaxy S II General] deeman:
wrong thread sorry
[Galaxy S II General] AnDruid:
Well the OPs effort should be appreciated. While I had had an Android phone and root and had used more than 15-20 roms on my earlier phone (an HTC), i did not knew simple stuff like how to enter the Download mode (or how to get out of it save from Odin, which I still don't know). I had to search the forum for that and other such things. However, now I know I could have given the XDA phone wiki (http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_II_Series) a look.

A newer guy might well have started a new thread in that situation. I guess part of the problem is that the useful threads can get buried back pretty quickly, and the Search function does not search inside post text by default (only looks at titles). A wiki might turn out to be useful for such situations. However the XDA SGS2 wiki is still quite sparse. I think putting info and links in it will really help, and we should also have a pinned thread with link to the wiki at the top of different Forum etc (maybe I am moving into an area not quite related to development, so will stop here.)
[Galaxy S II General] capaxdoli:
yes, yes YES!!!!

In total concurrence with you mate!
[Galaxy S II General] sajadkhan806:
buddy this is the best and easiest guide for flashing looks like teaching a nursery class student.excellent job rooted the phone easily but u missed the most important part of the guide. u didnt mentioned the after opening the odin we should click pda and browse the tar file and select it... then click start which wasted my half an hour. otherwise it would have took only 5 mins to root

and there is no comment on page 52 by geko95gek

can u plz tell me in easy steps how to remove that yellow triangle

this is the best and easiest guide, thanks a lot for this :p
[Galaxy S II General] DaFileFather:
agree with that. if i hadn't rooted already via the topic of CF.. i would defenitly used this thread! thanks.

to get rid of the triangle very quick:

-buy a USB JIG

-put ur phone off.

-plug the JIG in..

-wait for message..

-unplug JIG!

-restart phone

and TADA!

removed!
[Galaxy S II General] capaxdoli:
thanks for filling in

sorry about that mate...as i had said...this is to be in conjunction with the prelim post. i was under the impression that it was mentioned in the first post. but thanks for pointing it out. i am sure another noob would have the same query and would bless you :). i guess the pages here are not static. they keep changing. nevertheless the change is not too dramatic...its just one or two.

removing the yellow triangle is also covered mate...see the last few steps...enjoy your root :)

P.S. the usb jig sounds interesting and really easy but then one has to purchase it :)
[Galaxy S II General] xinfinityoO:
or make your own if your good at soldering stuffs. there is a how to guide in the forum
[Galaxy S II General] DaFileFather:
yep. but they only cost 4 bugs or so.. so no big deal.

search ebay.

or like xin said.. make ur own.. if ur handy :rolleyes:..i'm not... so got mine already via ebay!

People like you are so quick to forget that you were once a noob too. Why don't you piss off somewhere else with your snobby attitude and let others learn? Or are you some kind of elitist asshole that's scared of too many people knowing what to do?
[Galaxy S II General] ratcom:
Great thread mate, and yep while it may look a little over the top for most people trust me you will help a lot more who are searching for greater detail before trying there first flash and root :) I will personally use it once my sgs2 arrives to make sure nothing goes wrong and trust me I've flash and cooked many roms in the past but never used a samsung so I'll too join the ranks of noob soon.

Now if only my upgrade was due sooner than the end of June and I could get rid of this bloody iPhone lol

Although I didn't need the guide to root, I stumbled upon it earlier and I am very impressed with the way you wrote it out for anyone and everyone to understand. Kudos to you sir, there will ALWAYS be a place here at XDA for guides like this, everyone is new to anything at one point in time.
[Galaxy S II General] juDGEY2k10:
I agree with above post, dont worry about the negative posts tbh **** them, you done a great job and its very useful for peope who are new to this sort of thing.

Good job
[Galaxy S II General] buBleZ:
Bro appreciate your writeup.. Very useful for first timers like me. I would like to poing one thing. To remove the yellow exclamation mark we not start ODIN for the second time. All that is need is putting the stock kernel zimage file to the root of the phone memory and open CWM and flah the kernel. So in the below steps only 29 & 34 are needed and the inbetween ones can be ignored as we are using a stock kernel. Saves more time for the noobs.

It is mentioned in chainfires post as well as the last point in the exclamation mark removal procedure.
[Galaxy S II General] itsme_4ucz:
Hi

capaxdoli

! little Quest ? after rooting can we flash KF2 rom.

cos i just my sgs II 2day.
[Galaxy S II General] Gohann001:
Maybe a stupid Q but why remove the yellow exclamation at boot?

Is this very important? :confused::confused:
[Galaxy S II General] aussie1234:
Thanks

Hi

I appreciate the work you put into your thread. No matter how many times I have tried to root and then flash my phones I always approach the first attempt to do so with some level of nervousness.

Also people much more tech minded than me tend to write instructions that presume too much knowledge on the reader.

So thanks for your thread. I followed it and did not have any need to write a "help...Bricked my phone..." post as we very often see.

Cheers

Aussie :)
[Galaxy S II General] jony013:
I dont think its important for the device, but for mind its really important. SGS2 with yellow mark....!!!!!!!my god.

But the phone is working as same as without...... I tested normally.
[Galaxy S II General] bluheart:
I dont mind the mark being there, but surely its cool to see it gone.

It was like windows saying your copy is pirated LOL.

But why does SGS2 record this info :(((((

a. product name: GT-i9100

b. Custom Binary Download : 4

c. current binary : custom

d. it also shows the android logo

I just bought, rooted and flashed with Bmarko-Muveszur-KF11, its a cool ROM!
[Galaxy S II General] EvilBosch:
Thank-you!

Another successful root at my end, with the whole procedure taking less than 30 minutes. I think I could now do it again in about 5, if I had to.

I've flashed a few android devices over the last year, but when I get a new phone, I am always a bit nervous about the risk of turning $800 into a paperweight. This guide made things very easy.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II General] RobinRichard:
Thanks

Thanks for the in-depth info abt the rooting process. I was initially afraid that I might mess up the process, but I followed your guide and successfully rooted my S II! Thanks again! :) :)

[Galaxy S II General] Eukanaba:
A question..

When it comes to kernels like XWKF4 stock and ZSKF4 with CF-ROOT is they the same in performance and battery use?

If not.. I would like to request a CF-ROOTED kernel based on the stock kernel from 3.dk XWKF4.

Thank you..

[Galaxy S II General] jujuburi:
Thanks to OP but the Rooting process is far more simpler I think ;)

1- Power Off device.

2- Put the phone in Download Mode by pressing Volume UP+Home+Power at a time. Press Volume Up again to continue.

3-Just connect your device to Odin. (Disable Antivirus or Internet Security if it's running)

4- Select the correct .tar file which you got after extracting the .ZIP file which you've downloaded from Chainfire thread and add it to the PDA section. DO NOT click any other options.

5- Click on Flash. You are Done. It's a 10 seconds process.

Now you will have a Yellow Traingle at boot up, it doesn't matter, stll if you don't like it, you have yo do some more steps,

6- Download a Stock Kernel same as your current one from Dev section.

7- Extract the .tar file of your rooted kernel and you will get a zImage, copy it to the SD card of your device.

8- Add that Stock kernel (Step 6) to the PDA section of Odin and Flash it. Another 10 section process.

9- Now the Yellow Triange is gone but you are not rooted.

10- Open CWM in your device, go to option Flash Kernel, and select the zImage file and flash it.

11- Phone will Reboot. And now you have a Rooted device without any Yellow Traingle at Boot up.

All about the right balance between too much and too little information.

For a noob willing to install his first custom rom, there is more steps and information needed, like installing kies, checking drivers ok, usb debbuging mode or not, phone recognised or not by odin etc..
[Galaxy S II General] wasiimabbas:
yup you are right
[Galaxy S II General] strawman1988:
not a noob coming from evo

this still seems like a lot of info tobrowse i am still lost
[Galaxy S II General] pege63:
I updated with Kies, the whole update process was started but then at the end said that I would need to restore it with a code, then it came up a box saying that it would remove the power cord, battery, stop the battery to restart Mobile halt the cord. Work started on my cell phone but now I have an orange box on the box with a mobile and a PC on either side?

I have followed ROOT Guide:

Once you have flashed into an unofficial kernel that this root kernel so it will appear a yellow triangle for a while when you start your SGS2. To avoid this you can after you complete this whole process of root-flash back to an official kernel.

The kernel I have flashed in after the Kernel_I9100XWKI4.tar also tried CF Root SGS2_XW_NEE_KI4-v4.1-CWM4.tar and it goes to flash it but when I shall be late in the FW GT I9100_NEE_I9100XWKI4_I9100OXXKI2_I9100XXKI1.tar so you can not flash in?

Is it some way to flash it so it works again?

I've had an LG OPTIMUS X2 before and found it reached called "[Guide] Recovering Thread | NVFlash | EXT3 18/5-11" could not be easier to restore your phone to its original", is there a way to do it on a Samsung as well?

Is there anyone who can link to a Swedish android 2.3.3 kernel and FW?

Is it possible to fix or must it be submitted?

Just rooted my SGS2 using the DooMLORD easy rooting application.

Superb piece of software.

I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 ( Indian ) in a flat 4minutes. I was very nervous in rooting the phone having bricked my Samsung i780 in flashing custom ROM and having sent my Omnia i900 nearly to death flashing a custom ROM .... but then the thrill of rooting and modifying the device got better of me and I did it in a flat record time of 4 minutes.

The option of unrooting is an added benefit.

Hi just one small tip from a newbie . If anyone want just root. Dont want custom recovery / kernel. You can use DooMLorD program. Just connect phone to pc with usb debug mode on ( have phone drivers installed ) and click the program. Thats it :-)

Yes I was confused with the step where one has to flash the stock kernel. You comment clarified my doubt. Thanks for that.

thank you folks for the overwhelming response. it is so heart warming to know that i have helped more than one. i only wish i was a developer and i would be able to do so much more for the great people here but alas, i am a lowly lawyer.

i am aware of the links not working and i tried ignoring it for sometime on the hope that some search would take the noob eventually there. however, my PMs have overflowed and hence i have written to the good people who run this board requesting them to place the guide next to the original page and to relink the links. i hope they condescend.

Just another heads up: i would really recommend that you folks switch over to flashing Cyanogenmod 9. it is awesome and there are a lot of detailed guides on how to flash it. it is really worth it and the root is built in. do think about it :)
