im trying to flash uk generic .184 to get root on 2.3.3 but when i try to get in flashboot mode (holding back button) light stays green,

s1 fastboot pops up then says found new hardware and flashtool says this;

12/032/2011 00:32:51 - INFO - Searching Xperia....

12/032/2011 00:32:52 - ERROR - Please install or reinstall device drivers from drivers folder

what am i doing wrong or can my phone not flashboot its simunlocked bootloader locked 2.3.3??
[Xperia Play General] Xplay:
If your already on 2.3.3 I think you have to flash 2.3.2 first then root then OTA update.
[Xperia Play General] xperiaplay:
yea thats what im trying to do but wen i put my phone in fastboot my pc comes up with the found new hardware window, and flashtool says;

Please install or reinstall device drivers from drivers folder

???
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
Inside the flashtool folder there should be a 'ggsetup' exe file. Install that and try again.

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] Nhialor:
Whatever.you do. Do not ota update. If your bootloader is unlocked, which I guess it is as you are using flashtool, you'll brick your phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riqz:
I'm a brand new owner of a SGS2... So i installed kies tonight... and WAHEY! it told me there was a firmware update... I update as it tells me and it gets stuck for about 30 minutes... at this point i don't know WHAT to do and unplug it... there it is bent beyond recognition. nothing will work. I tried using ODIN to reflash it, tried reflashing the kernel but everything gets stuck and it won't budge... Have i bricked my sgs2 after only 3 days of usage? should i bring it back to samsung? someone please help me cos i'm pretty desperate...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JupiterdroidXDA:
Kies is the devil mate, samsung has made a brick machine here... I only ever use Odin and NOTHING else!!!

If it turns on its not bricked, the only way to possibly rectify this is to actually use kies again;( Try using the emergency recovery flash, if this fails it looks like its an RMA;(((

KIES IS JUST DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riqz:
What do you mean by RMA? Kies fails to find any device under emergency recovery... Odin has only gone as far as Factoryfs.img. That's as far as it's ever gone. usually gets stuck at cache,img. really desperate here and not going to sleep...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JupiterdroidXDA:
RMA is a return to samsung....

OK it seems like something in your phone had become corrupted by the rouge kies flash, if odin cant flash a new rom, it looks like you could have a big problem...;((
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riqz:
fantastic... man i was so happy... And to think it was an official APP doing an OFFICIAL update... How could they f this up any worse...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue265:
Well if you can get into download mode, not to fret. When you try and flash through ODIN, if it fails even once you will need to shut down the phone by pressing power button. Then unplug the usb cable, go into download mode and try again. I used to have the problem with my captivate - if it fails once, you need to restart into download mode again otherwise it will keep failing and failing. Most likely not an RMA - I have done this many times. Not on my SGS2 yet but previous sammy phones

If you still have problems, try another USB slot. Then try another PC if absolutely necessary.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riqz:
I could kiss you in the mouth right now... It's booting up. i changed USB slot and took out battery etc... Still waiting.... AND OH MY GOD:....

I DIDNT EVEN LOSE MY APPS OR ANYTHING.... jesus... thanks guys... i love you so much. WoW:.. i really can't express my love for both of you two tonight... i feel like crying now...

God i feel so relieved... thanks so much again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue265:
Yeah no problem mate. I am not going to say its impossible, but bricking an SGS2 can be fairly difficult. I just wanted to share what I learned about 6 months ago when I thought I bricked my Captivate :) I kept trying to flash while still in download mode when it just needed to be reset

Oh and my very first post on XDA was the same relief when I found a post that showed me how to fix. lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotaro_14:
Have you tried to update to the new FW update that KIES gave you, again and seen success?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riqz:
I think i'm going to leave kies sitting there for a while now until the initial impact of my phone dying is gone.

Also...by using Odin i think i've updated to the latest version.

Do You Have An SGS2 On Rogers

Do You Have A SGS2 On Rogers That Works With No Problems ? Where Did You Buy It An How Much Did It Cost As I Want To Buy One
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue265:
Yes the sgs2 works perfectly on the Rogers network. I didn't even have to enter APN settings and hspa+ works too. I bought mine from expansys.ca and altogether was around 800 with taxes and shipping. However I think handtec in the UK is cheaper now. You may have to pay duties but should still be cheaper

From what I understand some people are starting to receive the Gb ota. Just wondering if anyone here is able to get it via checking for new software.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] seejoshplay:
Not in Washington DC - am sad.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pieman13:
RI here...nothing.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cloiselle:
I found this on a quick google search http://gadgetian.com/20137/htc-droid-incredible-2-gingerbread-ota-update/

I'm not running that version, but a signed and verified one from someplace much more trustworthy IMO. I cannot give a link to mine, but everything about the .4. version is refined from the .3. and the phone works flawlessly now !

good luck and godspeed boys!

i'm sure once the ota is pushed more you WILL see it posted around so keep updating those browsers ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pieman13:
Just got the notice

Lakeland FL. Close to Tampa.

got it in monterey, ca... seems good to go so far...no htc hub tho, i thought sense 2.1 was supposed to have that included...not sure what to do with the new dock option...looks pretty tho
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PharmCAT:
Just checked and it is available in south eastern Pennsylvania. It is taking a while to download over 3G so I will probably try connecting to the university's WiFi to speed things up.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] seejoshplay:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PharmCAT:
Does this count towards the new tiered bandwidth amounts? I was lucky enough to be.grandfathered with the unlimited so it does not effect me personally, so just wondering if ota updates are an exclusion.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jesand83:
I got it and ignored it. Near Albuquerque, NM
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Murder-apolis Minnie-snow-ta just got the email from HTC notifying me its available. Waiting to hear more about how its working out for people. Still not decided about root either. Liking having options right now.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PharmCAT:
Not sure if it just me but the internet browser feels a lot snappier and responsive especially when typing in forums and also switching between tabs/windows. Selecting text to cut and copy also feels a lot nicer and more accurate moving around the selector icons. Switching from tasks also significantly smoother.

Seems that in terms of "bloatware" the only thing new that was added was Google books which is not so bad, at least it is some game or service that requires a subscription like blockbuster.

Also, while the other preinstalled stuff still can not be uninstalled the.option to move the applications to the SD card was added to all of them, which I guess is a step in the.right.direction, but personally them taking up space was the least of my worries with generous big SD card that came with the phone.

But the improved default internet browser had to be my favorite change so far, since I prefer it over the third party ones and probably is one of the top uses I get out of my phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I took the update last night. I am in western ny. It's running great so far.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] eeeekpenguins:
I declined the update just because I wanted to turn my Wi-Fi on to speed things up but now I can't seem to get the update.

Edit: Did a batt pull and I'm downloading now.

So with the gb ota is it possible that we may only be able to get S-off with the XTC clip?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cmeyer3:
I use Tango for my phone to phone video calls, and Skype for my phone to pc video calls. FFC seems totally useful to me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tpbklake:
Yes, if you are not currently S-OFF and you install the OTA, then currently your only option to gain S-OFF is via XTC Clip.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rdemarsh01:
I got it in Northern Michigan, not sure what's different though. The notification pull down screen has two tabs now, I can't see any other improvements at this time.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
They're scattered throughout. I've noticed some changes/improvements in Settings, more specifically the app management.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bjbernie:
I did a force check yesterday and it let me do the OTA. only things I notice are the quick settings when pulling the status bar down and the choice of different skins. I was hoping to be able to use Skype as well or even Netflix, but I guess its a no go for both
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sgiitk:
I am sitting in India with a unit running on the Reliance network. Nothing to date. A force check gets me Service Unavailable' after a couple of minutes, this is on EVDO as well as Wireless (~15Mbps). I have a feeling if someone could 'trap' a download and post it for us all to benefit. My son has a Hero about a year ago and did get the notification at that time.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] OUTATIMEMK:
Haha, I'm sitting in India on the Airtel network. I can't get it from here either - I think you need to be on the Verizon network itself. I plan to cancel once I get home, and root, and then load a rooted GB whenever it's available.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] applejacks108:
how do i force check? did anyone lose root? and did your s-off go back on?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
You will loose root if you take the OTA update. To force update you go into settings>software update>check new. There is no software way to re-root yet after taking the OTA Gingerbread update. I am on unrooted GB myself, it's running great for me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
Not true. There's an RUU floating around that I have read of that is reported to work. That said, I don't know about re-rooting after applying it, but I have seen it reported to work on here.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Thanks for the info. Did not know that. Someone over at Droidforums want to know how to return to stock unrooted from rooted and take the OTA Gingerbread update. Do you know how to go about that? Is there a flashable return stock img yet?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
As it stands now, I'm back on stock Froyo, 2.2.1. Build 1.34.605.3.

Getting ready to try S-OFF'ing it again and re-rooting it so I can get back to Gingersense..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
Interesting. I'm still S-OFF. No Clockwork Recovery though.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Stam2000:
So you were able to use the froyo ruu?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
Yep. It didn't remove S-OFF, but otherwise back to stock...except that I think it's actually a leak of just before the stock load. Kind of like the .3 leak for GB that was going around when official is .4.
[Epic 4G General] pharmer81:
I currently have the EC05 modem with SRF1.2 and Genocide 2.0 kernel. I'm getting some dropped calls, and my bluetooth isn't consistently connecting in my car, so I want to try a different modem. The problem is that I have a Mac. The only Windows machine I have access to is my computer at work, and it for some reason fails everytime I try to install the Epic drivers. I'm aware of using ODIN to flash new modems, but this isn't an option for me. I tried getting Heimdall to work on my Mac, but for some reason it wasn't allowing me to do anything (almost like view only). Are there any update.zip files or some way to flash a new modem using my Mac?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I don't believe so. Did you try running Heimdall on linux on the Mac? Heimdall also has Windows drivers if Odin doesn't work on that PC then maybe Heimdall will. You need to use modem.bin in Heimdall....extract it from the .tar file with 7zip.
[Epic 4G General] stilesja:
I couldn't get heimdall to recognize my epic either. I don't believe our secondary bootloader has been fixed with the bug that was preventing Macs from working. I have odined to eb13 and even dg27 and gotten ota updates to ec05 but never get recognized on the mac. Heimdall works fine on my work PC though. You might try Linux on your mac that or bootcamp to XP or 7
[Epic 4G General] mordant23:
According to the Heimdall website, the second bootloader problem for Mac was fixed with Froyo 2.2. Of course Heimdall doesn't officially support Epic and I don't have a Mac (just Linux and Windows) so I haven't tried it.

To the OP:

What version of Heimdall are you using? Are you using the GUI or the command line?

There may be a problem with the GUI not acting the way it's expected. If nothing else works, I would recommend:

1. install Heimdall 1.2.0 (command line).

2. boot phone into download mode (power + 1 key)

3. attach phone to computer

4. see if heimdall recognizes the phone by using the command

. That should give you a listing of the partitions on your phone. It will reboot your phone.

If that works, then repeat steps 1-3. Then to upload a different modem just use

where <file name> is the file name for the modem. I don't know how you specify the directory for files in Mac, but in linux I just navigate to the file and open the terminal window to save on the cd commands.
[Epic 4G General] pharmer81:
I was trying to use the GUI interface. I'll mess with it some more tonight if I get time and see if I can get it to work using command line. I also may try to bootcamp Linux if that works. Just curious, what are most people using for Linux...Ubuntu, Mint, or something else?
[Epic 4G General] htc_joe:
Yes it's will do it with ec05
[Epic 4G General] mordant23:
I just started to use Mint 11. It's been almost 15 years since the last time I used linux shell.
[HTC EVO 3D] issafram:
Currently my family has four lines total on a family plan with Sprint. It is an older plan. It is called the "Power Pack Family 700". It has 700 shared minutes included with free nights after 6 P.M. It has an added package called "Unlimited 2-Way Text Messages" where ALL my lines get unlimited text messaging for a fee of $20.00 per month extra (only charged on one line). Picture mail however, is not free. It cost 20 cents per picture (sending and receiving).

There is also a 23% Chrysler discount applied at the end.

In total, my family pays around $112.00 per month for this whole package.

Since I got the EVO 3D on my own account, I have convinced the family to upgrade their phones since they are all eligible for upgrades.

They are not worried about the cost of upgrading the phones, and I have handled the $70 per line "stay with Sprint" credit they can get.

But what they are concerned about is getting a new contract.

What should they do???

I know 2 of the phones will for sure be EVO 3D's. Does that mean both phones will have the $10 per month "data charge (4G)"? What are the family plans? Is there a certain plan you guys recommend? Any contract they can get for around the same price ($112) in the end?

Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] sofla2:
Yeah, it's going to be $10 for each phone plus you have to have the $19.95 data plan on each EVO. I've got 5 phones on my account, 4 of them EVO's, have the everything data share plan with an 18% company discount and it runs about 240 a month.
[HTC EVO 3D] SoberSquid:
Ultimately, they will have to move up plans if going to the EVO3D, lowest plan right now (Shared standard rate plan), is the $129.99 Everything Data 1500 plan, which is 1500 minutes, unlimited SMS, and unlimited data for $129.99 - Includes N&W at 7PM, but also has the mobile to mobile for any carrier, I wouldn't think the minutes would at all be an issue due to prior usage.

Lines 3-5 on this are an additional $19.99, and the $10 addon would be required for any smartphone they add on. The discount will still apply. Ultimately, it would run at about 161.67 (After discount, before tax and surcharge - I would estimate ~$175 after taxes and surcharges).
[HTC EVO 3D] chrischoi:
$129.99 for lines 1 and 2. + $10 per line with a smart phone...

Lines 3 - 5 will be $19.99 + $10 per line with smart phone...

Lines 3 - 5 are not eligible for a discount... Which means the discount DOES NOT apply.

So the 23% will only apply to the primary and second line...

$129.99 - 23% =

$100.09

- For lines 1 and 2.

+$20 for 2 x smart phones...

$19.99 x 3 = $59.97

+30 for 3 x smart phones...

$210.06

+ taxes and surcharges...

Insurance?

I sell this stuff all day. I know discounts do not apply to lines 3 - 5.
[HTC EVO 3D] dlinfiniti:
what you want is the EPRP Family Plan

you can get the referral information here (upper right corner)

$109.99 for 2 lines (1600 min shared)

+$30 more for 2 more lines ($15 per)

+$40 for 4 smartphone ($10 per)

$179.99

(7p nights and weekends, unlimited texts, unlimited data, unlimited mobile to mobile)

pretty much the best deal on a family plan that exists right now
[HTC EVO 3D] issafram:
damn I just saw this AFTER coming back from the sprint store. Is this before any discount? 23% Chrysler discount
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
You can't add a discount eprp plans. They'll eventually remove your discount.
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
You can't get discounts with that plan. You don't get a renewing credit. You can only buy from corporate sprint stores. You talk to different people over the phone, less willing to please, and happy to let you go. We went that way.. and regret it.
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
I have EPRP, I can buy at Best Buy they still treat me great on the phone. I didn't try for the renewing credit cuz I always renew at the one year mark to get my new phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
Thats what sprint said anyway. I know radio shack couldn't do the upgrade for me. Our account couldn't be pulled up.
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
Bought my Evo 4G at Best Buy and my bro got his Evo 4G last year at Radio Shack with no problems on our EPRP plan.

In fact Best Buy last year had an easier time than Sprint corporate store did with my Pre the year before. The corporate store ended up moving me to a regular plan.

If I were to guess I would say your problems comes from trying to flash the otb kernel with a 2.x.x.x recovery..i don't believe that recovery supports edify scripting.....i would odin a 3.x.x.x recovery and re flash the otb kernel...and I don't know much about that app you are referring to, but I wouldn't use a market app to try to install a kernel unless specifically directed to in the author's o.p.

Try flashing a PBJ kernel!

can you get into CWM with the three finger salute?

[hold down the two volume buttons and the power until your phone reboots and you see samsung then let go]

See if you can mount as usb to get the kernel on there, if that doesnt work go to staples get a microsd card reader [under $15] and toss the pbj on your card then flash that.

When i was on EF and Comm Rom my phone didnt like the OTB kernels

Good Luck!

My recovery menu works fine and I can boot into it from the ROM without problem. My problem is that when I reboot the phone the ROM's default launcher is setup (and it is missing all of my apps) even though I set Launcher Pro as my default. I have to reset all my defaults in Launcher Pro every time my phone is turned off or rebooted. I would be on PB&J but I like to overclock my phone and PB&J doesn't support voltage control and I don't want to pay for and overclocking app.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] black.v00d00:
From what I've read many people have disagreements on whether 2.5 supports Edify or not....because a lot of people have success with it while others don't so I really don't know. Its never given me problems in the past. I actually had more problems with 3.X recoveries (It wouldn't allow me to make nandroid backups and other things that were essential) so I flashed 2.5 and it worked perfect (again I've read about people having the same problems with 3.0 versions of CWM).
