[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
@Intratech: Hi. Thanks for your reply. Ok, so it is not working for me. Can you help?

My laptop is working on Windows 7 Home Premium which is upto date in all respects. My USB port is working fine as I am able to connect my SGS II to Kies through that. Kies was closed when I tried to connect to Odin. Odin version is 1.85. While the phone (in download mode) is connected to the laptop, and Odin is Open, nothing happens. Nothing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
Is kies closed in the system tray as well?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
Yes, Kies is closed in system tray also. Fully closed. Odin opens, and I see the Odin screen as per your screen shots, but the box which is supposed to light up yellow, does not.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
Are you using the Samsung USB cable or a HTC one?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
Samsung USB cable which came with the phone box pack. I can see the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time boxes checked. Nothing else is checked, not even the PDA button. The box saying ID:COM (which is supposed to light up) is blank.

u need to check pda and load the file u want to flash it

then click on start
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
Look in your program and features list, found in control panel, and see if you have a listing for Samsung USB driver for mobile phones there. If you do then uninstall it and uninstall KIES. Download a new copy of KIES from Samsung and install it. After installing it, make sure you don't have USB debug ticked, connect the phone and leave it until all the drivers install. After that remove the device and lose KIES. Put the tick in USB debugging and connect the phone and leave it so that any needed drivers install. After this put the phone in download mode and connect it, without opening KIES or ODIN, and leave it to download any drivers needed. If it downloads and install any drivers wait for it to finish, once it does then you can go ahead and use Odin normally.

If this doesn't work your PC is at fault, fix it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
How you going to flash without connecting to the device?:confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Turn USB debugging off on phone .USB connection should be to a motherboard port .

Reboot phone set phone to connect in USB mass storage mode .

Connect cable wait for Windows to load drivers . You should be able to browse phone via Windows explorer if USB drivers are correct .If so remove cable and reboot phone to download mode . Open Odin select files to load connect cable .

That fails then

Rooting guide of intratech does not work! for you your PC or your phone but for everyone else so give up .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
@cyberwarfare: Yes, I tried that. The file loaded, I pressed start. Yet nothing happened. I just saw one line notification in the left hand side column of Odin, which read something like "successes: 0/failures: 0". I am speaking from memory here. Nothing really happened even after loading PDA and pressing the Start button.

@Intratech: Yes, both Kies and Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones are there in my program list. I downloaded Kies from their India support site : http://www.samsung.com/in/support/d...1&prd_mdl_cd=GT-I9100LKAINU&srchword=GT-I9100

Worth mentioning here that the USB debug check box was ticked when I tried to Root with Odin.

So basically, you're asking me to uninstall & reinstall Kies and its drivers. Ok, will do. It will take time so will do it when I have a little more time on my hands. Thanks for your help & your time. I appreciate. If you have time, then look at my other post here which says, "7 major issues with SGS II" ...... and help with solving my other issues like that of bluetooth not connecting and phone ringer's erratic behaviour. Thanks a ton.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
Mate I haven't used the Indian firmware so I'm not too sure about troubleshooting it. There is an Indian thread in the general forum where you may be able to get more help with the issues you have.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
@JJEgan: Thanks for replying. All my USB Ports are on the motherboard itself, worth mentioning that the same USB port works fine when I connect the phone to the laptop. Am able to transfer files to and fro via the same USB port.

"set phone to connect in USB mass storage mode".....how do I do that? Where to find that in phone settings?

I am able to browse the contents/files on the phone very well...so this proves my drivers are fine. So which basically means, that Intratech's rooting guide does not work FOR ME! :) Happy? This may be a problem specific to the India specific phones....Kernel version is 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE8-CL214845

root@Dell101 #2

PDA : I9100XWKE8

Phone : I9100DDKE2

CSC : I9100ODDKE2

Build Info : Wed May 18 13:55:45 KST 2011

@Intratech: Thanks mate. I've posted my problem in the India specific thread also.....lets see if someone replies. But the problem is not with the rooting procedure, the problem is that I can't even seem to get started with the procedure as there is no connection between Odin and the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
Nah, it's not with the firmware. The other Indians who use it have no issue following the guide.

Please try and reinstall everything as I've stated and see if that work. Also, when you go into download mode what do you see on the screen?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
In download mode I see a static warning on the screen which tells me of the risk and tells me I have to press the VOL down button to cancel this, and there is a yellow triangle at the bottom. The screen stays there as I connect the USB cable to the laptop.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You need to read the instructions start off by reading what it says on that screen .Do not read half of the instructions like you are its very dangerous flashing if you cannot read and follow the instructions and i advice you dont flash .

The screen message you are not reading is the sentence above the one you posted .

To install custom rom press Vol Up key .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
Right this is your problem, you have not put the phone in download mode as yet. Press volume up at this screen to enter download mode and now you will connect.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnDruid:
OP, I have tried to answer your question on the :) "Official Indian GS2 Owner's Thread - views, reviews and more!!" HTH. BTW one advice would be to avoid the scandalous thread titles, we have way too many of those in here and they always work against getting a good response.

edit: saw the last post by Intratech. One of those facepalm moments, eh?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
Maybe a double facepalm
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
Lol! Thank you, everyone! I didn't know that u had to press Vol Up key to get into the Download mode. Face palm moment for sure :) But this may be a blessing in disguise, coz I still don't know whether I will get updates of software/firmware after rooting. My sole purpose of rooting is to be able to use apps like Droidwall and Titanium backup. I want to have control over which apps can access the internet......no app should be able to access the internet without my explicit permission. Other than that, I don't want to change a thing of my SGS II. So I guess, if I re-flash the Original Kernel (which I have to do anyway for removing that yellow triangle thing after root), will I get my phone to get updates from Samsung in the future? I am currently having the Gingerbread 2.3.3 version but I'm sure I will need updates for future versions......so will I still get them after rooting?

Pls excuse me if my questions sound dumb......but I am a newbie to this rooting thing and I am not a techie
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
@Intratech: Ok, so I rooted my phone following the instructions given here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1126522 using Chainfire's method.

Now to remove the yellow triangle, the instructions say I have to extract the zImage file from the CF-Root-SGS2_XW_ODD_KE8-v4.0-CWM4.tar file and paste this zImage file to the SD Card of the phone. But how to do that? I am now unable to view the files on the phone when connected to the laptop via USB cable. When I connect now, My Computer doesn't show the GTi9100 like it used to show earlier. I am seeing the SAMSUNG_android under Devices and Printers and can only see the properties. I cannot open it or view the files on it. Now what to do? Pls help.

I am annoyed that you give intratech a big stamp on the forehead saying that he made his thread up from bullcrap. It works. Not for you.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
@Prodygee: That was an unintentional mistake, and I believe he understands it. I didn't use words like "he made his thread up from bullcrap", so don't put them in my mouth.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QAM:
@TheMegastar

You should really change the topic header of this thread... you give the impression that Intratech's guide does not work at all.

VERY UNKIND OF YOU!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
@QAM : I would gladly change the heading if you tell me how to.......before you could even say it, I tried to edit the original post but didn't find a way on the edit page to change the Heading. I thought we had laughed it off after admitting it was a face palm moment. The Instructions given in the guide were not exactly very clear and had missed this step of pressing the UP Vol key to go into download mode. Perhaps the author of that guide took it for granted that all users will automatically know that you have to press the UP Vol key to get started. As a newbie, I was only following the instructions guide to the last letter.

The same thing is there in the follow up guide of how to remove the yellow triangle of Chainfire....when you are giving a step by step guide, no step should be missing, however trivial it may seem to you. Even a small omission can be damaging for a newbie.

In any case, I thought we had already put this matter behind us. Period.

Now the issue at hand is that after rooting the phone, how to view and manage the files of the phone via the computer?? Coz now the phone is not showing up as it used to earlier on my computer and it won't connect to Kies either. Any answers?

[Droid X General] MysticElf:
Anyone have a recompiled DX Kernel with ISO9660 support?

Current 2.6.32.9

Can provide other info if needed.

Thx in advance!
[Droid X General] luigi90210:
no custom kernels on the droid x

sorry
[Droid X General] MysticElf:
I guess onto the next question... my main reason for asking the above and perhaps I just jumped farther into that possible solution but, has anyone been able to find a way to boot a pc off the DroidX (ie. DroidX being booted as a Bootable USB/CD)?

When I jump into the boot menu on a PC with the droidX attacted. The following pops up...

"USB-CDROM0: MotorolaMB810 000"

Originally, I was thinking that I would be able to mount an ISO and possibly have it popup in the boot menu as well.

Now I'm wondering if this is the Motorola Virtual Driver CD and if so, is there a way to swap out the files on the Motorola Virtual Driver CD to make it a "Bootable CD".

I believe that would be the best way to achieve what I'm looking for w/o needing a revised kernal unless of course that Virtual CD is built into it.

The CDROM file is in different upgrade packages. So, there has to be a way to inject another one if the formatting was the same if that is even the Motorola Virtual Driver CD.

Otherwise, have a partition on the SDcard but I already tried different ways and it doesnt seem to want to use the other partition.

Any ideas on this are greatly appreciated!
[Droid X General] pacmanftw:
If you connect your Droid to the comp via USB, then ensure that Mass Storage Mode is selected on the phone, you should be able to boot directly from the sd card (assuming you have something loaded up on the sd card like a small linux distro, etc...) The possibilities are endless as to what you can set it up to boot into..

I have not installed GB yet (I am waiting for CWM first), but I think this was designed for KD1. You can try if you like, but there is no way to back up your install ATM, so it is pretty risky.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
Looks like my Galaxy Tab 10.1 is having some odd wifi issues.

It started when I tethered with my Galaxy S Vibrant phone. After about 15 minutes the phone would freeze up and I'd lose network connectivity on the tablet. The mobile AP app is unresponsive and I have to reboot the phone.

I've tether other tablets and never had this problem. I tried a few times and the GT 10.1 froze up the phone every time after about 15 minutes. But tried again with my iPad and Nook Color and it didn't have any problems.

Then I get home and use my 802.11n router. And I start running into intermitten network connectivity drops. Market and other apps will sometimes give a "no network connection" message and ask me to Retry, which usually then works.

I also see the wifi icon turn from blue to gray sometimes.

Tried my 802.11g router as well, some deal. So I think it's something quirky with the wifi on my tablet.

PS. One thing I just realized. This only happens with apps that are running in the background. If I'm watching YouTube or I'm downloading apps from the Market, I never ad it give me a network error in the middle of this activity. But if I switch a background app, then it'll tell me no network connection.

Maybe I should do a factory reset first.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] NyPlaya513:
that is very weird, I have had my galaxy tab since the 8th (went to the NYC launch) and I have been tethering it to my thunderbolt with no problem.

It may just be a bad unit, mines been solid
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
Factor reset didn't help. And wifi policy is set to disconnect never.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Fyahstarter:
Same thing happens to me. This is my 2nd unit. First one was fine. just traded out for the grey, but they both have the same issue. No issues when I'm tethered though.
[Flipout and Charm General] atrias:
After setting some options in the second place of the alarm options and choosing done the alarm app exited.

from then on when i try to open the app a black window rises and then closes.

So i cannot change the options again.

Last time this happened I had to do a reset to factory defaults.

Does anyone know where in the filesystem are the settings for the alarm stored?

maybe i could change them with some text editor and resolve this without a factory reset.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
I am going out on a limb here and share my deepest feelings with all of you.

I LOVE my g2x!

There, I said it. I feel a little vulnerable right now... may need a hug.

There is so much anti g2x here and it makes me sad. This is a great phone. Nay, a great big beast of s phone. It has it foibles(bet you don't hear that often) but they will be worked out. I had a troubled phone for a while... reboots, battery heat up, etc... didn't return it, but I kept fiddling with it, removed some apps, messed with settings, trolled the forums and I haven't had a reboot in a week! Runs as smooth as aloe vera lotion now.

I think that people are jumping ship too early, and for the Sensation?!? Really?? That phone is also having issues with reboots and stuff not working... PLUS it is slower, has an iffy screen and runs Sense!

So if you do trade down for that other phone... just go, and stop telling us about it.

Good luck and we'll see you when you come back...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] N31N:
+1 for foibles

Its a gorgeous piece of hardware, with a really solid cameras, and I'm loving having the speakers in another place than laid flat on the back.

Not being satisfied with the dev support, which is kind of more a privilege than most people here realize, made me realize that having a phone that works more often than not is worth running on Stock(with root and a few choice mods).

Having been around since 1.5 dropped, I thought about what I needed in custom roms then vs what I need now. The G1 needed severe performance boosts to operate like the current crop does on its worst days, apps2sd and keeping an ext partition for caching on was important. I got my power control widget and navigation in 1.6 (I was a big fan of SuperD roms) and I was ecstatic.

Fast forward and I get damn near most of that right out the box. do i need the miscelleaneous features of cm7, like notificationbar power controls? Nope, I can go back to living like I did with my eclair Nexus One(and then with CM6) or my G1.

So comparing the current offerings to just stock, I dont feel like im at a total loss. It's just the way this phones lifespan panned out, and really you cant win them all.

And I am definitely not impressed with the Sensation and Sense3.0. My boss broke the volume key on the store demo the day he opened the box. Dropped it once and the rocker snapped out in the worst way. weird design choices all over that phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
I really think the dev support will happen when GB drops. Then we can find the new things we didn't know we couldn't live without.

God, remember 1.5? Seems like so long ago... I remember way back when jesusfreke was showing us the what was possible, and when cyan got his cease and desist letter from google... my G1 will always have a special place in my heart...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I love using the G2X and I'm glad I get to keep her. She will be my hacking/gaming phone. Both the G2X and the Sensation have there own problems like you said. I was just lucky enough to get two bug free devices. As said in my review, I think the G2X has a smoother UI and is very responsive. That being said, the. Sensation doesn't even come close until you disable all of those silly animations on Sense. Some games run better on the G2X and some run better on the Sensation. Homerun Hartford 3D for example runs smoother and looks better on the Sensation but dungeon defenders runs smoother on the G2X. Everyone just needs to start making there own decissions and stop making posts like "Bellow Sensation. Bye G2X". I picked the Sensation as my daily driver due to the larger display without being bigger that the G2X. The colors are sharper and appear to pop more on the Sensation but the blacks on the G2X a great. When both devices are sitting right next to each other its unbelievable how muck crisper and clearer the text on the Sensation is. I also use the camera a lot and the Sensation takes much better photos and HD video. Both devices are great but I would say to someone who puts gaming at the top of there smart phone list, get the G2X. If your priority is emailing, web browsing, RSS, ebooks and taking pictures then get the Sensation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] icecicle04:
My priorities are the second block but im still keeping the g2x that sensation just feels like a toy cant be havin that imma business man. 8-)
