Not sure if this helps... But Ive got very same log from Superoneclick after flashing CF root XWKF3 over XWKDD_insecure kernel. I already had root in KDD, maybe thats why.

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Guys! I really need your help. Here at my place i got to ask permission from my parents to buy a phone this costly (its around INR 30,000 ). They usually dont agree to it as they think why to invest so much on a mobile phone and buy a laptop instead. You know the mentality.

But in the end they gave me the option to choose myself ie go for the laptop or the awesome SG2!!

And so now 'm split mind! What i am concerned about is whether you'l get a awesome laptop for 30k to play the latests games around? So if the answer is no i dont want to go for laptop because they are already two crapy laptops in my house tat cant play even 3years older games.

So in a nutshell, here is what i ask is 30K an worthy investment on a mobile phone as SG2? Do you think its pricy? Should i go for it? Later i dont want to feel like 'OMG! Did i just pay 30,000 to this thing?' lol :D

P.S 30k matter alot because 'm not a rich guy, i am puttin all my savings on it because i just love technology and would like to experience it. And this one is goin to be my first android phone (coming from nokia 5230 lol)

P.P.S god my hands started to pain after typin this post in my laggy phone!

P.P.P.S 'm already leanin towards SG2 right after typin this post:P how ever throw up your opinions!

[Galaxy S II General] blickmanic:
Get the gs2
[Galaxy S II General] Widget21:
Get the latest Samsung tab; you'd get the best of both.......if you can afford it of course.
[Galaxy S II General] benoitb85:
If you already have crappy laptops for the important stuff, I'd say get a Galaxy S2.

Otherwise, get a laptop and a lower cost android phone.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Buy a 2nd Hand Laptop you might get it for 15000-20000 and than start saving for SGS2

If you Have a PC or Old Laptop than get SGS2
[Galaxy S II General] tr3yt0n:
Depends on your needs m8, if you need a PC for work/school, movies or such i would recommend you the laptop, if you already have these and need a shiny awesome smart-phone to have it on you all the time go with the SGS2 ;)

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] d3sm0nd:
You don't need a laptop if you get the SGS2... the SGS2 can do about anything. :D
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Harsha, Playing Games and Laptop can't come together unless you are paying above 70-75k for it, still I doubt if you can beat my Desktop(siggy) with that budgeted laptop. So I will say buy this phone, closed eyes, it's available at 28-29k, if it's high to you, wait a month or two, price will fall and come close to 25k for sure. Then buy it and buy a Netbook (AMD E350) which will cost you around 15-16k. You will have everything then you need. And Yes this phone is VFM imo, it will easily serve you a good 2-2½ years.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
I don't know how much 30k indian is but for around 800 euros I got a nice gaming laptop, well it plays the games I want on highest settings anyway (mostly total war games, including shogun2 and empire), I could have gotten an even more powerful laptop but these tend to be bigger and I wanted something a bit more portable
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
800 Euros mean 51,350 INR as per today's rate.

And you can play games on high, alright, can you play Crysis 2 or Metro 2033 at High or Extreme? What FPS you get? I bet not more than 35-40, right? Yes. I don't know if this is only me or not having this feeling that someone who wanna play some real games, i.e- DX11 with High Res and at Extreme settings, a Laptop, whatever powerful it specs, it won't be sufficient, so a gamer (let alone professionals) has to deal with a Desktop.

***Off Topic***.

[Galaxy S II General] StupidIdea:
Buy SGS1

SGS2 is not worth stretching your limits. I bought my wife SGS1 and company provided me SGS2. Now it is nice and such, but it is not perfect. And if you spend for it amount that is a lot for you, then better don't. Read posts about yellow gradient, blue tint, overheating, scratching display, cracking display. Its all true.

My advice is, get SGS1. It is now less than 300eur for new (at least here) unbranded. It is has much better value for the money. And it still can run any app that you can find for android.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Can you please describe 'perfect'? One example would be good.

Negative. None of them are true, they don't even exist.

Please DO NOT post any false information and ruin peoples mind.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] michelhuy:
The SGII is a nice phone, but it's far from being an "investment". It's only a nice shiny toy and once you buy it, it's already lost a significant part of its value, at least half of its value once the next model comes out.

I have one because I broke my previous phone, but mostly because can afford it. If I didn't have a decent laptop, I'd focus on that first and make due with the phone I already have. If money is an issue, the laptop is immensely more important than a smartphone as far as I'm concerned, specially if you are a student.

I used to live in India a while back, and as far as I'm concerned, even if India is growing significantly, 500 EUR is still a formidable sum to most people there. It's kind of me spending 5000 EUR on a phone : it's obscene.
[Galaxy S II General] fallout0:
It's just a phone..once you get over the novelty of having a new phone it'll sit on your desk more than you'll use it

Especially if you're already coming from a decent Android phone.
[Galaxy S II General] tbong777:
Wasn't that 3 Million in 55 days??????? LOL

To the OP

If you any SLIVER of doubt spending your savings on ANYTHING do NOT do it..especially having to ask total strangers to try to convince you either way. People who own it will rave about it. (Few will admit they made an expensive mistake and should have stuck with what they had prior) The "fresh and new shine" has not dulled yet. IN fact for me the Captiavte (once developed held on to that the .longest of any handset I ever owned. I like it MORE than when I first got it. )

Spend your money when YOU have the conviction without doubt it is well spent and you won't experience remorse.....

I don't have the SGS II yet because I still have a little doubt still brewing as to how much better it will be than the SGS I have already on GB 2.3.4. As time goes on the price will fall, Firmware will get updated any problems fixed, and the community development choices and methods increase...WIN WIN.....WIN by waiting and continuing research and reading....a lot.
[Galaxy S II General] tbong777:
EXACTLY the last hurdle for me....:o

In this case as with all new tech, waiting is advantageous on many levels.

Not for anything but EVERY handset I ever owned was prone to a cracking display, scratching displays, overheating, imperfection in colors. None of those "issues" would be a deal breaker for me buying any phone.
[Galaxy S II General] kcaz:
+1

Don't kid yourself into believing that you would somehow be making an investment. You are actually trying to decide on what you should blow your savings: a mobile or a laptop, both of which you already own. If that's what you want to do then good luck to you, but at least be honest with yourself.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Thank you all of you for your valuable inputs. Reading the posts made me realise that its the personal requirement what matters although taking due knowledge about what you buy from forum like this.

Both a laptop and a smart phones has become an important part of todays lifestlye. However my routine has become so time fixed that i wont be having time to sit with my laptop. So used to spend a lot of time with my phone. So lot that i read around 15 novels in my device in a month lol:P

About thinking as an investment. Yes buyin a phone or any electionic stuff for that matter it cannot be considered as an investment. Technology changes every 6months. How useless an investment will it be without any monetary return. The only return is your personal satisfaction.

On the other note i was always keen on having the latests tech in my hand from many years. My budget was the problem in gettin it. After looking at android a year back it was mind blowing. I just wanted it. Since then had been updating myself with every android device that used to come up. Well it was my desire to have a high end android phone for just once.

So i have made up my mind to go for GS2 as for now i do not have time to spend with laptop anyways. I have decided that let me have a taste of the high end mobile tech. If i dont like it - well and good i wont be buyin any such phone again. But hoping it will amaze me beyond my belief.

And thank you all again for your inputs. Your opinion certainly helped me in deciding. Buying it today evening the GS2 and will sure post back how good it is and if at all it has any problems:D

By the way, this thread was meant for me to know whether spending that much of bucks was worth it. However i will be using the each and every features of a device to its full extent. Anyways GS2 certainly looks like a open mouth gadget and i am gonna get it;)

P.S. This post might feel like i am contradicting my OP. But hey i needed to decide for one of it; which you all opinions helped me to.:D

Edit: Already have two old laptops and a system.

Edit 2: This one will be the first android phone I will be laying my hands on propely.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flindil:
My phone will go into the bootloader (no custom recovery installed) where I can use fastboot but the phone wont get past the htc logo. I have installed the stock software by having the phone in the bootloader and fastboot mode and I have tried the PC10IMG.zip flash but neither seem to make a difference even though they both seem to complete without errors. I have also tried to flash individual img files with fastboot but the phone just returns a signature failed message. Basically am I out of luck with this phone? I tried talking to HTC and they cant help me unless I provide a receipt, since I bought the phone used I dont have one... and I dont have an account with the provider (Bell) that this phone is branded for.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heema88:
Do you even know what you are doing? just asking cause you are not giving much info to go on. What are you trying to do in the first place and why do you not have a custom recovery installed?

[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
Note: I do not have any inside information.

I am simply making a prediction based on my intuition and some salient details.

I wager we will see an announcement from Motorola/Verizon providing timing for the LTE upgrade in the next 2 weeks, likely as early as this week.

Anyone want to bet against me?

(Gentlemen's bet, no stakes)
[Xoom General] sal_shawn:
i will bet, I say we will not get anything till the end of quarter three.
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
I'm goin for the end of summerish, late august early september
[Xoom General] JiminSD:
I was thinking getting it out before the toshiba tablet on July 10th would help Moto...eventhough the toshiba us 3.1 it has some nice features. Moto needs a win soon.
[Xoom General] RMarkwald:
Beginning to mid September is my guess.

Sent from my HTC Incredible
[Xoom General] csseale:
I take that bet.....they already dropped the ball on q2...and you seem to be wrong often so odds are with me.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
Right, then. Game on!
[Xoom General] alodar1:
hehehe....thats funny.

They are still a corporation that has to report on quarterly basis. Any date that does not coincide with the end of a quarter is most likely wrong. End of 3rd quarter would coincide with projections for Holiday sales. A really good time to be ready for....the kind of things investors look at.
[Xoom General] nattygirl:
I'm hoping it will be here by September.
[Xoom General] chbennett:
I will say that you are right, next couple of weeks. I think that they will start accepting xooms for mod maybe a week or two before the bionic, which means announced in the next week or two.
[Xoom General] cranch:
I sure hope this isn't true...

http://phandroid.com/2011/07/06/mot...lly-similar-in-dimensions-to-the-xoom-xoom-2/
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
Likely it's the Xoom 4g with the LTE part pre-installed and possibly Android 3.2, otherwise identical to the Xoom.
[Xoom General] cranch:
From the info gathered initially its dimensionally bigger although not by much. Hopefully true that its just preinstalled.
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
The extra space is where the casing didn't fit back together properly after they shipped them to china to have the lte modem installed...

Macbots drool as I XOOM through the Galaxy to my hearts Desire.
[Xoom General] csseale:
Just accept the defeat. Afraid moto got us all on this one but just count it as a lesson learned
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
It can't be the Xoom 2. The Tegra 3 chipset isn't out till fall.

The part number is incremental.

Xoom LTE is in Verizon's inventory list. Xoom 2 is not.

How much evidence is necessary to throw a strong doubt on this being the Xoom 2?
[Xoom General] sbrownla:
A lot more than that? Maybe they are just going to eat the cost, bring in all of the "LTE upgradeable" ones, refurbish and resell them as 3G models, and ship out the newer ones to the poor folks who fell for the LTE roofie trick.

I don't know enough about LTE to say that this is not for Verizon, but isn't AT&T supposed to be getting theirs up and running [ROFLCOPTER] by this fall? Is it necessarily for Verizon?

It's just hard to say that it is anything but. The ruggedized tablet that was rumored didn't seem to have LTE, but that was my first thought. Either way, any LTE tablet that they come out with before providing their own early adopters with the "promised" upgradeability option is really effed.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
AT&T is HSPA+, not LTE. The FCC docs show it heading to Verizon.

Seriously, you think the Xoom 2 would just be a minor Xoom revision with the same chipset? (Tegra 2, because again, the Tegra 3 is simply not out for months)

and LTE?
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
i say we get the lte update either the same week the bionic comes out or the week after
[Xoom General] zone23:
My money is on no LTE upgrade as the device will be obsolete and no one will own it or care. I also see a class action lawsuit again Motorola who will then pay us all 5$.
[Xoom General] csseale:
Yep...sad but so true I'm afraid. The customers were steered wrong and when trying to fight were laughed at and sent to the stakes.

This was a huge mess and unacceptable. It would be easier to let us take this one up the arse than to pay shipping and payroll to get lte in. Just not feasible.

If they would have gotten it working sooner when the user base was small the costs would have been acceptable. Now its gotten to big for them to swallow.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
Where are you getting your information for this conclusion, please?
[Xoom General] csseale:
Same place you are....

Just random opinions.
[Xoom General] JanetPanic:
Except the opinion the xoom will be upgraded is backed up by:

1) advertising (past and present)

2) official statements that it would be upgraded

3) a mistakenly sent out set of emails with upgrade procedure

4) a statement made during the q1 earnings conference that it was delayed (not canceled)

The position that the upgrade will never come is backed by:

1) the fact that the xoom has not been upgraded yet?

...

Anything else?
[Xoom General] csseale:
The op starts off with this is based on his intuition.. but we have been thru this. I fully understand noone else is allowed to have an opinion in the xoom forums especially on a topic asking for a bet against the opinion....your a joke

Plus you go from thread to thread in one talking trash on moto an then on the next defending. Stop flaming fires.
[Xoom General] JanetPanic:
I actually doubt Motorola will make an announcement in the next week (the op having bet an announcement in the next 2 weeks a week ago). So I am betting against him as well. I do, however, think the evidence in favor of Motorola upgrading the Xoom outweighs the evidence (or lack thereof) that Motorola has no intention of upgrading the Xoom. There is after all a middle ground between Motorola announcing something in the next 7 days and Motorola never announcing anything and kicking your dog while riding off towards the sunset with the love of your life, laughing all the way.

and finally

Your = possessive. e.g. Your opinion. Your car. Your potato stand.

You're = contraction e.g. You're wrong. You're a live action rodeo star. You're a joke.

Get the difference?

EDIT: And I am all for active debate on the subject. I will however present facts in my favor when I can. You are free to dispute these facts or present others in favor of your opinion. Giving disparity to my reason for existence is not an effective counter to my side of the debate however.
[Xoom General] csseale:
Your an English teacher now. Well I ain't never had such a lesson before I appreciate it and all. But again my OPINION is they isn't goin to do not nothing.

Get the point...
[Xoom General] JanetPanic:
Yes, I get the point. You have an opinion that you are not willing to back with any facts. Any disagreement will be met with the abuse of a defenseless language. I surrender the field to you to spare any further damage to everyones understanding of grammar.

I am sorry that you are not willing to try and state your case. I am also sorry that you can't grasp the difference between you're and your..... At least it was not to, too, and two. That one really gets under my skin. :)

Cheers
[Xoom General] csseale:
My original remarks had all the intended defense it needed. Just an opinion of how I believed Motorola should be handling this while dealing with the money factor.

It was never a statement that needed anything more.

And people should not be expected to defend every comment made in a forum and YOUR sad for believing so. Sometimes things are just said to be said...its life...and reality...
[Xoom General] JanetPanic:
Please list ANY thread where I have trash talked Motorola. I am of the opinion that Motorola should communicate the status of the Xoom with their customers better. I am also of the opinion that Motorola intends to upgrade the Xoom but have met with unforeseen circumstances delaying the process.

I fail to see how these two statements are inconsistent with each other. But I can see you are angry so I suppose I am not helping. I AM trying to be reasonable and logical about the situation however. I will stop now, I think I have made my case but will not help anyone by continuing on.

Cheers
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
My objection to csealle's comment was that it implied fact rather than opinion.

Other than that.. I'm just waiting on solid info from moto/vz.
[Xoom General] msavic6:
Apparently additional costs apply for the upgrade. Look at the text when it states * 3G upgradeable to 4G* in the video.

having to suffer opinions as well as grammar makes this place a comedy central. Spelling is ok...everyone makes mistakes. But grammar, in most cases this is your native language. If you write it, most likely you think it...and you're(you are) thinking wrong.

Oh well, God save the Queen.
[Xoom General] mgerbasio:
My money is also on the "no LTE upgrade for this device". Like the original bionic, with our Xoom I think they've cut their R&D losses trying to get it working and would rather invest in an updated design. Motorola will make good offering a very low cost or trade in for a new Xoom LTE which we're seeing leaked. Send your's back, get a new device and they resell your's as a refurbished.

I don't think the new device is going to be a Xoom with a quad core but I wouldn't be so sure it isn't a Xoom LTE using a OMAP processor. I remember reading Jha saying they made a mistake putting all their eggs in the Nvidia basket. Since they've ditched the tergra for the bionic, I'm guessing they're doing the same for the Xoom with LTE, an upgraded device but not quad core.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
Jha didn't specify which partner was responsible for the basket comment.
[Xoom General] csseale:
Umm it was strongly implied....and well the only thing it could mean. It would not be good busines to call nvidia out by name
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
It was not strongly implied. You inferred it.

Implied means that there was other language to suggest without being explicitly stated

It was also not the only thing it could mean.

He could have been talking about the LTE part vendor, or Verizon, for that matter.

Both hypotheses fit the available data.
[Xoom General] csseale:
You seem very smart...book smart.... do a little street time and learn to read between the lines. They were suggesting ever so slightly towards nvida.

I don't know why with you everything is either on or off and no room for expressive development or opinion or well anything that is not absolutely definite.

To reach the end there must be a point that leads there. And between the beginning and the end is alot of grey area that unfortunately you should learn to read into.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
OK, so street smart means making stuff up in the absence of real data, gotcha.
[Xoom General] mgerbasio:
I thought this thread was just for some fun speculation. Anyway, seems like a lot of people guessed it was nvidia but only Jha knows for sure. Still, it doesn't change my bet that LTE is going to be passed up for this device. I've been watching for reviews of the Samsung LTE tablet on LTE to see how well it's working.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
Perhaps the slo-go on 4G is because of the no-go on the 3G uptake.
