Hey guys

just got my sgs2 on monday, flashed it with generic firmware before i read anything about optus not releasing the firmware. i have issues with my screen being blurry, blue hue etc and i wish to take the phone back

so im wondering if anyone made a back up of their optus firmware

if so can i please get a copy, i had ke7 on mine but any optus will do

ive ordered myself a jig to remove binary code counter

also im sure there is a guide but i cant seem to find it, on how to restore from a nandroid backup and then remove root so its completely stock again

can someone please point me in the right direction

this screen issue is really buggin me enough to return it or sell it and buy a htc sensation

supposedly optus havent heard of any screen issue with sgs2 until i called them

hope someone can help

cheers

Somebody was kind enough to post this on Whirlpool forums I have not had a need to use it yet, so good luck with it.

thanks heaps mate

now... how to get it back on there :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamesHillyer:
Sweet, an optus rom

Been looking for AGES for this!!!

Now, the question, am I correct in assuming this is a complete package? If so, will an odin flash, plus a hit with the USB Jig, be all that I need to get this back to stock?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtda:
i think it must be restored with cwm but im not 100% sure on that

im goin to look for a guide

got to go out now so ill check back later

unless someone can give us a link now that would be fantastic
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravian29:
ya this is for cwm :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtda:
do u know how to restore to this?

then remove cwm and root?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravian29:
ya you then have to unroot it using odin or 1 click root/unroot, and reset counter using usb jig :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravian29:
do you want to restore it ? ya i know how to restore using cwm :cool:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtda:
yeh i want to restore it now

do i copy the optusrom.zip file to my phone?

or do i extract it?

what cwm do i use, from recovery or from app?

please give instructions
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravian29:
1. ok first of all download and flash this kernal

http://www.filesonic.com/file/1226649534/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OJV_KF1-v4.0-CWM4.zip

2. it will install CWM manager in your device open it and backup your device

3. connect your device to pc/ mac and goto phone memory and then

clockworkmod > backup > (extract your optus rom and )put it there

4. in CEM press restore, it will show you (your backup) and optus backup rom, press OPTUS one and it will restore and restart, now you would have optus rom

5. check optus things (is these there as they came with new phone)

6. download s1 root/ unroot from this link

http://www.inspiredgeek.com/2011/06/16/one-click-root-and-unroot-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-sii/

7. unroot your phone, (may be you will also need to restore original kernal but not sure about it - give it a try and see if there is a yellow triangle when you restart your phone then you will need to flash stock kernal, let me know if there is yellow triangle up on restart, i will then tell you to flash stock kernal if you do not know how to flash it ) now you need to reset counter

8. buy usb jig from ebay, here is a link

http://shop.ebay.com.au/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=usb+jig&_sacat=See-All-Categories

9. reset it and you are on stock :)

if there is anything new please let me know this will help you both and many others to learn new things

just tried and it didnt work

the optus rom doesnt have boot.img

where as the back up i just made does

in recovery it starts the restore but reboots when checking for md5

anything im missing?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravian29:
oops, thats strange.... i do not know why this is because i did not try to restore it, may be the backup is corrupt or thing like that
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtda:
i also have rom manager installed, could it be coz of that?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravian29:
not sure, you can try it by deleting or also by coping optus rom using external sd card if you have one
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtda:
its because the optus rom is missing a boot.img file

(error while flashing boot image)

i just tried a manual restore from inside recovery

will the boot.img from my latest rom work?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravian29:
optus have the different boot image, mean when you start your phone it shows optus on screen but default just show "S"
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtda:
that sucks

one file away from getting optus back on

anyone else make an optus rom :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravian29:
i wish i had all this knowledge before, then i could provide you complete rom :o
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtda:
all good mate, uve been a massive help so far

i at least now have instructions on how to get it back

i keep checking samfirmware site and its currently not loading on my computer

fingers crossed some new firmware fixing "colour banding, blue hue, yellow tint etc" will be released and then i might actually enjoy my phone
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravian29:
mow worries mate i will have my on optus rom then i will paste a link here if i will found it

Yes those are called CRT animations. You find them in most of the developed ROMS that you need to be rooted to install. I dont think you can put that on a stock ROM if you are unrooted.

[HTC Inspire 4G] PerksWV:
Just wondering if anyone has tried out the new Hulu Plus app released yesterday. Evidently, the Inspire is one of six devices currently supported. However, it's not working for me right now on GingerBeast. I'm guessing maybe the app is expecting Froyo and doesn't like the taste of Gingerbread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lsbe:
Same here on CM7 nightly, changed my build.prop to reflect an Inspire 4G but still getting device not supported. I think this is similar to what happened during the whole netflix thing where phones on custom roms w/GB wouldnt work ><
[HTC Inspire 4G] hdk703:
I saw an Engadget article this morning about Hulu Plus, see my Inspire as one of the accepted phones. Rush over to the market to download, but when I went to run the app I get the error that it's not compatible?

Running MIUI, so I'm thinking maybe cause my phone is showing as a DHD?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrrick:
Same here. Inspire 4g, rooted, running cm7.. Sigh, more waiting..

Sent @ 04:20
[HTC Inspire 4G] epakrat75:
Works just fine on my NookColor CM7.0.3 / Gingerbread 2.3.3 (running off external SD card). The nook color has been modified (in model / manufacturer only) to appear as a Nexus S though. However, I did that before now to get the Netflix app to work earlier. So, I made no other changes, I just installed the APK and it worked. It refuses to video streaming on a Froyo device, I have.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hdk703:
Now this I don't understand, I went and edited the build.prop so my model name shows as an "Inspire 4G"....but it's still not working

Perhaps I need to reinstall?
[HTC Inspire 4G] lsbe:
The nook probably works because the nexus S is supposed to be GB, officially the inspire is froyo
[HTC Inspire 4G] PerksWV:
It's not related to the model name in the build.prop. The GingerBeast build.prop has "Inspire 4G" as the default model.
[HTC Inspire 4G] furioussun:
Does this app require flash or did they leave that out like Netflix did in their app?
[HTC Inspire 4G] viiralvx:
Not working for me and I'm running Honeysense. :/
[HTC Inspire 4G] drummer07:
not working on inspire ace either.
[HTC Inspire 4G] drisner:
I've tried it on Gingerbeast, the Ace_Cingular_US_1.84.502.11-Radio-26_06_06 _30_M posted by attn1 a while back, Honeysense 6, and latest LeeDroid both with and without Fenny fix.

No go on any of those with Hulu+.

In the main Hulu+ thread in the Android Apps forum, a couple people claimed it worked for them on the Inspire. I assume that is on an unrooted, pure stock Inspire. It seems to have worked for some people on other rooted devices though, so I don't think it is root that is throwing it off, but who knows what it is.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
I'm stock rooted, running attn1's stock Ace_Cingular_US rom, and it is working fine on my phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] HallucinatingElvis:
I just left that Rom 2 days ago .... :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] drisner:
Are you referring to the ROM attn1 posted named Ace_Cingular_US_1.84.502.11-Radio-26_06_06 _30_M or what comes with the hack kit?

Are they different? Ace_Cingular_US_1.84.502.11-Radio-26_06_06 _30_M did not work for me with Hulu+.

Edit: Actually, I used Ace_Cingular_US_SL_1.84.502.11-Radio-26_06_06_30_M_PD98IMG.zip from same post that has Side Loading enabled. Wonder if that's the problem?

Edit again: And does your ROM work with Netflix too? Did you install anything special for that? Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
I flashed the one with sideloading enabled. I have Netflix installed to manage my que. The video streaming does not work for me and I have not attempted to install any fixes to get it to work. I am bone stock, just rooted. If you tweaked to get Netflix working, it's possible it may have Hulu broken.
[HTC Inspire 4G] drisner:
Hmmm. I installed the ROM fresh this morning, but Hulu+ wouldn't work for me after downloading it from the Market.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Hmmm, idk. The file is actually a package of rom and radio and supposedly wipes all data when flashed. The Inspire is listed as one of the devices that is supported, so there is no reason it should not work on the stock Inspire rom. Did you do a manual wipe and clean before flashing?
[HTC Inspire 4G] churro7:
Works on my stock inspire

[HTC Inspire 4G] drisner:
Just tried wiping with FULL_WIPE_1.3.zip (the ext3 version), then installing the RUU build via hboot with the PD98IMG.zip. Did nothing at all after that but add my Google Account and download Hulu+ from the Market. Hulu+ still has the can't do video on this device message.

Frustrating. Did a force stop on Hulu+, cleared data, and I still get the message.

Giving up for now. Hopefully, smarter hackers than I can figure it out so we can run it on any ROM.

I tried the TPC mostly stock ROM also and it failed there too. I tried Honeyogen, not expecting it to work, it didn't.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrrick:
Interesting.. Someone has to figure out what it's actually reading on the device to get this app working.. Hopefully it will be worth it. Kinda doubt it though. Still would be nice to try it out

[HTC Inspire 4G] markzero:
Got it working on Inspire 4G under LeeDroid

If you're getting a network or buffering error, you need to turn off/revert your adfree app. That also means unchecking whatever aliasing you may have done. Once I did that, I didn't even have to reboot, the ads came back and Hulu finally started working right.

[HTC Inspire 4G] yareally:
If you want it to work, you just need to decompile the app back into smali and look through a few files for the device checks. I haven't got to removing and testing them yet (though I cant really test myself, I dont have hulu+ so someone else has to), but the file the checks are in is a.smali in smali/com/hulu/plus/b (linked from DashboardActivity.smali).

It works for me in MIUI now where it always gave me the device not supported message before.

Here are the instructions from the OP. Note that I couldn't open the zip file in AndroZip, I had to download it to my computer and unzip it there:

I loaded up AdFree and reverted my hosts file. Ads don't really bother me too much anyway.

I haven't tried this on a Sense ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] drisner:
Verified that it works on Rum Runner 4.

[HTC Inspire 4G] markzero:
Yeah, they opened it to all phones a couple weeks ago, I think :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] mcangeli:
I had to edit the hosts file and get rid of the references to Hulu's ad and tracking servers for it to work.

It was getting stuck on the ads and not playing the videos...
[HTC Inspire 4G] PerksWV:
I finally did get Hulu working using the fix that drisner pointed out. Guess I'll have to see if updating from the Market breaks it. I also had to edit the hosts file to allow the video ads to work in order to get to the shows.
[HTC Inspire 4G] M1m3R:
Lots of people are suggesting that we "Revert" using _Adfree_Android_, but that allows all ads, not just those that Hulu wants us to watch.

Any chance that someone could list which host file edits were required ?

[Defy General] windywoo:
I bought a Defy second hand on ebay locked to T-Mobile UK. I don't have a T-Mobile SIM so I booted it up to test over wifi. However the wifi will only connect if I switch my router to G, and even when it does say it is connected I can't get on the net despite every other PC in the house working fine. I even changed the networks to open to rule out the security but with no luck.

Since I can't do an official update without a SIM (Or so the Motorola software tells me, I wonder what would happen if I went ahead) I was thinking of rooting and installing a custom ROM to see if this helps. However, obviously if I do this I won't be able to dispute the purchase on ebay so I want your advice before I plough on.

Do you think that a custom ROM will fix my wifi issue or is it more likely to be a faulty Defy that the seller has fobbed off on me?

Cheers.
[Defy General] reinsen:
from a technical point of view i dont think that the defy's hardware is faulty, i've heard of such wifi issues with some routers, even had some with mine with an early version of pays rom, so a custom rom will probably solve your problem.

and i recommend a custom rom over any official blur crapped software.

try miui.
[Defy General] windywoo:
Well I went ahead and put on the MIUI ROM but it has the same issue! Does this phone require a SIM to do anything? Do I need to be signed into a google account just to go on to the net?

Chers for the tip, but now I discover this damn ROM is not rootable. At least, not with z4root.
[Defy General] windywoo:
Super one click did the job, but the file you mentioned already has HT_Enable = 1

***I managed to get the nor ROM to flash by running as admin and giving it a short name and putting it in the root directory! But guess what? Still no internet despite strong wifi signal. I don't know how to downgrade now to the original ROM. The one listed as T-Mobile UK 2.1 doesn't boot.

Now the phone isn't recognised by RSD at all. The white LED comes on though, there is some sign of life.
[Defy General] windywoo:
Bought a battery charger to charge the battery externally but still no joy when I plug the phone into a computer.

***nvm somehow it's working now. Flashing the nor ROM.
[Defy General] windywoo:
None of the SBF files seem to work now. Either I get a blank screen on boot or they get as far as the Moto logo (or android in the case of the nor rom) and loop.

Is it safe to flash other countries SBFs and then change the language?
[Defy General] salingpusa:
can you try other people's wifi to see if you will encounter the same problem? if you don't then youneed to configure your router. flashing other country's sbf is ok, then use baseband switcher incase you have signal problems. wipe first before flashing
