[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
When you need an app that needs root then root .

If you can unroot return to stock and clear the rom counter then you should have something like a 99% chance of passing any inspection .

Its not the seller or repair man that voids warranty Samsung decide what they will repair or pay for repairing . Letters sent out clearly state they will not reimburse repairs for work on phones with custom roms or rooted .Repair centre guy though has the choice if he so wants to ignore custom rom and just flash a stock rom without saying a word to Samsung .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrimaryComplex:
Personally, if you're perfectly ok with your phone the way it is, don't root it. It looks to me like you don't need the things rooting provides and you haven't needed an app that requires root access.

Also, rooting can brick your phone if you don't know what you're doing. I suggest getting familiar with your phone before venturing into root. Although its an exciting world once you step through that door.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hjf3Gd:
Does rooting the phone (which I understand gives me administrator rights) give access to more settings options? Other than being able to install some more apps, are there any other benefits? I'd really appreciate some examples..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Rooting really has nothing to do with being able to use different apps, or free apps. Rooting is all about getting more function out of your phone, more settings from a good ROM, new features like enabled FM radio and things like that. Apps aren't really relevant. You can go get pirated apps from anywhere and don't need root for that.

Root is about gaining admin rights to your hardware to do anything and hack it to death.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hjf3Gd:
I see. I am running a standard ROM, I'm on O2 in the UK. What extra features will rooting unlock?

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synos_x:
i have an 8 Gb sd card that was functioning very well,

untill i partitioned it using cwm and the phone turned off in the middle ( battery was out )

now i have an unallocated space with 1 Gb, i cant format it, and minitool partition wizard says bad disk

please dont say buy a new one it was class 6 and sd cards are very expensive where i live
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V!KR@M:
Try again in cwm...

or else insert sd few more times in pc using memory card reader(adapter) til it stops saying bad disk and then try to format in minitool
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synos_x:
tried both and still not working

thanks anyway
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V!KR@M:
wats the problem with cwm? Wat error it shows?
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomashokenberi:
Insert it in PC card reader. Find some partition manager, other than mini partition tool, for PC and try to repartition it.

If you use Windows 7 go to Control Panel->System and Security->Administrative tools -> Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk Management

and check if your card (and it's partitions) is shown. If it is try to remove existing partitions and create new FAT 32 partition spaning over entire disc.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synos_x:
i've used easeus partition master, and

easeus partition recovery + partition table doctor +hdd regenerator + sd formatter + minitool partition + active@ partition recovery+ flobo

i think it's hopeless

@tomashokenberi all of the programs including disk management , are showing one unallocated partition (1 Gb) and everytime i try to format the partition, the program fails, all of them

@vikraam the cwm just says formatting then done ( nothing else )

somebody said to me to try an mbr tool or program, and i havent found one that works on my pc (x64) do you have suggestions
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomashokenberi:
How many partitions are actually shown in disk management? One or more? If there is more than one partition try to delete all partitions then create one new partition.

Also if your Windows PC uses some "ext2/3 enabler", that is software and driver that allows access to ext2/3/4 partitions from windows it may interfere with disk management and create problems.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synos_x:
it is showing only one partition, i've tryed gparted live cd, on several different pcs and different sd adapters all saying ( access denied, or write protected ), and yes the switch is correct,,

so what should i do now, make a hole in it and use it like a Key Chain
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vickkr:
lol :D

P.S. : i came all the way down to find a solution
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakistanish:
Gave me the same bad disk error, I tried every partition manager but nothing worked!

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luc1f3rhtc:
faced the same problem....

simple solution:format with blackberry
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManSamVampire:
Command Prompt

I don't know if the problem was solved. I have suggestions. They are worth trying but not guaranteed to work.

The 'Disk Management' thing doesn't work. I use Windows 10. It gets stuck (becomes entirely Unresponsive) until I pull out the card from the reader. And the same also happens when I double-click or right-click on the SD card in Windows Explorer.

Maybe this can work-

Check the Lock switch on Card. It should not be locked.

On the computer, disable any antivirus feature of auto-scanning USB disks when connected. Also disable Windows USB AutoPlay.

Connect Card to computer with a good card reader.

With Windows Explorer, find the drive letter of the connected SD Card.

Open Command Prompt as Administrator and write

format <drive letter followed by colon : and no slash>

Example - Attached to this post.

If error appears "Insert New Disk and press ENTER", just press 'ENTER' directly.

If error appears "Cannot open volume for direct access", write the format statement in 5th step again.

These errors appear 3-4 times, but keep following the above steps till these statements appear -

"The type of the file system is FAT32. Verifying <your card size>"

Good luck !!

[HTC EVO 3D] vboyz103:
So I've been using quite a few perma-temp-root script and of course it uses quite a bit of adb command to push and stuff. What I'm experiencing is that there seems to be a change in ADB version that I used. For instance:

Before in the Evo 4g time, if I used a command:

adb push myfile /data/bin => which means I'm pushing file named "myfile" to DIRECTORY /data/bin

But with recent ADB, it means that I'm pushing file named "myfile" to directory /data/ but instead of being name "myfile" it is now name "bin".

So to correct it I now have to use:

adb push myfile /data/bin/myfile

It's weird...anyone else get this too?
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
good question and keen observation.

the syntax i've used with adb and linux, both similar for me that have worked are:

adb push myfile /data/bin/

and that will store myfile into the directory bin which is under the directory /data.

adb push myfile /data/bin

this should store myfile under the directory data and rename it to bin

the main difference here being the trailing / indicating whether to place it under an existing directory or not.

hope that makes sense and helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] vboyz103:
Yeah it's just weird that it started to happen now...I guess Google did some changes to how adb works (???)...This got me while trying to convert windows .bat file into linux script and at first I didn't some'n wrong but it turned out it's ADB. grrrr
[General Questions and Answers] No Pants Hero:
Ok, so my touch screen seems to be out on a small spot on the right hand side. being where the o,k,m keys would be on the keyboard, p,l, and backspace work as well as i,j,n. However, the same spot when i rotate sideways, doesnt seem to be having issues (where a,z,x,shift,and ?123 are). The problem arose about a few days into running cm7 rc1.2 mr2. The spot also seems to be present in things outside of the keyboard as well, internet browsing is goofy if i need to press in that area, as well as the lockscreen in that spot, very difficult to rotate to change to sound profile.

I have flashed other roms, stock roms, tried different keyboards off the market, everything i could think of. I just want to avoid having to unroot and return to stock, replacing the phone, and rooting, etc all over again to get back to where i was.

Anyone have any suggestions?

T-mobile 3g/hspa+ bands

1700/2100

Galaxy S II Bands

HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

it would get 3G on At&T but NOT T-Mobile due to the lack of the 1700 Band.

other then lack of 3G the phone would be fully functional. just stuck using GPRS/Edge for Data.

You can't.

Simple answer.

To make it famous, you have to have something good. And I bet it's run of the mill...

Is layout good? Does it look professional? Do you think people want to read about you cutting your toenails?

Just ask yourself this sort of thing... Rome wasn't built in a day, neither will your blog be...

Also, it's not in English... Most internationally successful sites are in English. And there is frankly little content I would want to read (I can understand enough of it) No pictures etc...

I had an okay experience with them but considering I got the phone in a week, I'd give them a 4/5. I ordered Friday and received it the next Friday. The total price was $549+$15 shipping. Your price will vary depending on the exchange rate so in the end my phone was $611.83.
