Hi

I come from Htc Hero and been a flash junkie on that but have a few questions about the SGS2 as it seems a bit different

1. Do you need a SD card to root ?

2. Have heard about ODIN.. If I just want to update my firmware / baseband can I do it through ODIN without rooting? Again do I need SD card? and How do I back up My Original Stock Rom In case I wanna Roll Back .

3. Download link for ODIN please

I am quiet happy with the stock rom and really don't feel the need to root, but I would want to upgrade my baseband to a newer one if possible as I have kinda dodgey signal ( It Yoyo's between E, G, H and H+ all within a half mile radius)

Am on vodafone Uk stock Rom

Base Band Version I9100BUKE1

Kernel Version - 2.6.35.7-I9100BUKE1- CL182896roo@DELL105 #2

I have found the below two links any others which would benefit me?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgptheoriginal:
Hi everybody :)

I'm a Revolution HD (5.1.11) user, and I have the Unity V3 kernel.

I was wondering if there's a way to modify the auto-brightness values: with stock settings it never reaches the lowest value, and in complete darkness the screen of my DHD is always too bright.

I'd like it to vary between the maximum and (nearly) the minimum values.

Is there a fix, or a way ot modify the file containing these settings?

Thanks in advance :D

I tried using ADB with my 2X yesterday, but it couldn't find my device although I have enabled USB debugging. I found in default.prop "persist.service.adb.enable=0" Is this the reason that I can't use ADB?
[LG Optimus 2x] Stikkontakt:
What ROM are you using? What drivers are you using? Did you try restarting your device? did you try ADB in CWM with ADB support?

I was not able to test with persist.service.adb.enable=0. For some reason it reverted to 1 automatically..

What does ADB say when you try write adb devices?

You should always run it from a command prompt
[LG Optimus 2x] dennis.busman:
are you use 64bit Win 7 ??

try to use 32 bit Win7 ... :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Stikkontakt:
It would be nice if you wrote in english, so others can benefit from your answers as well...

But if you wrote something like

"Are you using windows 7 64bit?

it works fine on windows 7 32bit"

Then I can answer that it doesn't matter if you run 64 bit or 32 bit. I don't even think there's differences in the drivers. I can use ADB perfectly fine with win 7 ultimate 64.

any new developments on getting this to work? i was about to start my own thread on this in Q&A.. ive been doing a lot of research to get heimdall working with my mac on 10.6.8

have the latest heimdall with a GUI i believe 1.1.1, does not recognize the phone in DL mode..

did find this guide started by the heimdall dev.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878686

specifically this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9918224&postcount=2 relating to the bootloader being basically crappy on galaxy S phones, and you need to update it in order to get a mac to properly recognize the device. of course this post is not epic specific, so im not sure if this applies for us

my understanding is that its boot.bin that is the bootloader in a TAR file...i dont think theres an epic user on XDA that hasnt odined at least the EC05 update. the post talks about how you need to get the "froyo bootloader", sounds like we already have that if we have odined EC05

the OP on the heimdall guide above has new versions? wondering if anyone has tried these command line versions? there is also somestuff in there that says the usb not recognizing issue is fixed in these newer versions.

i would love to get this working.. my only PC is from 2005, and the last time i tried to odin a modem it blue screened immediately after hitting start, i really dont trust the thing to be honest.. reinstalling windows does not seem to help..

I think I liked dropbox more for Linux support and it had a folder on desktop...does this have that now
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Knucklessg1:
Yes, that is one thing dropbox has over SugarSync, Linux support, but I'm sure after the flood of emails they have recieved, they would get it going and have linux support.

I couldn't help but notice in the intro video they talked about a free trial...for 30 days. My question is, how free are these free 5 gigs?

Hi guys,

I was wondering if any on the Android Gurus could help me.

I was wondering can android address more than 32gb of SD card. I know currently that the biggest card you can get is 32, however i was thinking of hardware hacking an old android add a second SD card slot, and then format 1 card to ext3 and the other as a standard FAT?

Also could you format both cards to be recognised as a single card similar to the adapter used in the PSP to create a 32gb card from 2 16gb microSDs?

Thanks in advance for any light you can shine on this

Sorry mate, but it's physically impossible for it to work, regardless of software. A TV out jack has 2 splitters in it so it can get 3 different signals (video & 2 audio). The socket has to be the right kind. In the SGS2 it is for audio only.

[Captivate General] clemmie:
The link is a little buggy, so here's the meat...

"Korean manufacturer Samsung may be mulling plans to slash its product cycles and release a new top-end mobile phone to take on the Apple iPhone 5 which is now expected to come in September.

Apple rivals might have been taken by surprise by the company's decision to diverge from its regular annual product refresh and given that by the time the iPhone 5 is release, their own flagship handsets will be at least six months old, it doesn't come as a surprise that some may be considering new iPhone 5 rivals.

Popherald claims that sources located in Asia have confirmed that Samsung will have a new Android-powered phone - launched in August or September - that will be pitted against the iPhone 5, one that apparently won't carry the Galaxy branding but which will come with better specs.

Expect a 1.4GHz dual core Samsung Exynos SoC (up from 1.2GHz), 1GB RAM and Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread with Samsung's own TouchWiz user interface.

The latest Android build will bring Google Talk with support for video calls as well. The current Samsung Galaxy SII is already a successful product and packs the very best features you'd expect from a high end smartphone including NFC, an ultra slim chassis and a large 4.3-inch WVGA touchscreen."

[Captivate General] connexion2005:
As Mike said, everything you get will be obsolete in about 6-9 months. Waiting on the SGS III will result in it being obsolete by the SGS IV in about that same span. If you are willing to travel outside of what your carrier offers on it's phone product line, then that number is even lower as the GSM world pops out the latest greatest phone every 3 months or so.

I have an SGS II now and with the specs on the proposed SGS III it seems like the phone will be the exact same and DEV work won't have to really pick between the two.

[Captivate General] clemmie:

Unfortunately for android we have always been "chasing" apple, at least in the majority of the public eye.

With this release timed around the I5 release we may now have a phone that is not only better after a certain time, but better at the same time. That puts us (i.e. Android/Google/Samsung) in a very good position.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
That might have been true a year ago, but not right now.

Meh. It's more complicated than that. Samsung actually supplies a lot of iPhone components and Apple is a pretty big customer.

Vendetta might be a contributor, but it's at least as much about competition. Samsung is gunning hard for Apple's market position, even more so with tablets like the Galaxy 10.1. One of the biggest advantages Samsung has had so far is hardware spec dominance. They're just ensuring they keep that position.
