[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saketme:
I had soft bricked my phone yesterday. Thank god I recovered finally but I'm stuck with an insecure kernel. Devs, can you guide me what should I do next?

It starts like this:

1. Updated my phone's firmware to KF3 (official) yestreday.

2. Then, Installed an insecure kernel, "GT-I9100_XXKG1_insecure" from this thread:

[KERNEL] Insecure Kernels for use with rooting

3. Rooted my SGS2. Success. (used this tutorial)

4. Now flashed the leaked 2.3.4 firmware from this thread:

Updating to 2.3.4 firmware - if you don't want to root

5. Now I needed to root again since I had just updated my firmware. The boot screen still had that yellow sign so I supposed I'm still on an insecure kernel. So I opened S2 Root and tried to root it but it was stuck in the middle of the process so I cancelled it.

6. Then, I again opened Odin and flashed a secure secure kernel from that same thread.

But instead of using Odin 1.83 as it was mentioned, I used 1.85. I don't think this could do any harm. But Odin failed to flash that kernel and my phone was stuck in a boot loop.

The phone didn't go further the boot screen with a yellow sign at the bottom. I was able to enter the download mode but NOT the recovery mode. So wiping the phone was not an option.

Then I decided to flash that 2.3.4 firmware again and this ****ed up my phone. Odin failed to flash it and my boot screen was then replaced with that infamous screen saying that the FIrmware Upgrade encountered an issue etc.

I thought I've bricked my phone but was finally I was able to recover again by flashing that insecure kernel again.

I think I created a problem in step 5 and 6. But I'm afraid to go and flash a secure kernel again. People help me?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
You first flashed the insecure KG1 kernel and then the KG1 (2.3.4) FW ROM?

Wrong order AFAIK, but nothing that could harm your phone.

Try it once more, all over again from step one (this is also how I installed and rooted 2.3.4 KG1 over my (CF rooted) KE2 before CF-Root for KG1 was released):

Go to downloadmode, fire up Odin, connect everything, put the "CODE_I9100XXKG1_CL349526_REV02_user_low_ship.tar" into PDA and the "GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKG1.tar" into CSC.

doublecheck nothing else is selected (no repartition, not PIT and all that)

Hit "Start" and watch the show roll....

after the flash, the phone should reboot into recovery, do some stuff and reboot again into the OS - all userdata is wiped during this flash, so IMO no manual wipe via recovery required here

now flash an insecure kernel and apply root using SuperOneClick or similar tools, or perform the the few step required manually via adb (that's what I did) - or simply flash CF-Root for KG1 instead of a plain insecure kernel (I'd suggest CF)

if you want back to stock kernel now (if you have CF, why would you? ;)) flash the KG1 stock kernel via Odin

This procedure worked perfectely fine for me.

If Odin keep failing to flash in download mode, there might be some connection problem, maybe.

Try reinstalling the USB driver, connecting to a different USB port, not using a USB hub if you previously did....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
@OP- Flash with CF's rooted kernel. It's a lot easy and hassle free. Why insecure kernel?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saketme:
Umm okay, I'm a beginner in rooting so I hope you don't mind if I ask you some help? Do I need to download the KF3 firmware again? I've reached my FUP and it'll take more than a day for me :(

Is it possible to go ahead somewhere right now? I just want to remove that insecure yellow triangle sign from the boot screen. Any secure kernel to do this job?

@itthehappy I followed what was written in the tutorial. So now when I'm on an insecure kernel, how should I flash with cf?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
He, I'm myself only learning all this stuff as I go;)

No, you don't have to redownload any FW if your fine with the one you currently have.

Sure. If your root is working already and you just wanna go back to stock (secure) kernel, you can find the stock kernels for most, if not all, firmwares here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Pick the right one, matching your firmware and flash with Odin - done :)

CF would be best option IMO.

First flash the CF kernel - again watch out it perfectly matches your FW.

On first CF boot it'll install it's CWM app, after that flash the stock/secure kernel to get rid of the triangle.

You can then re-flash the CF kernel with the CWM app without the triangle comming back :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saketme:
I can't find KG1 in that list. Although there is KG1 listed under ZSKG2 but that's for "GT-I9100T".

Should I use the stock kernel given in this thread instead:

Android 2.3.4 for SGS2 LEAKED - Post your impressions

This sounds the best option. But one question, before flashing with CF kernel, should I flash with stock kernel or flash CF directly on top of my current insecure kernel?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
Yep, that's the one for 2.3.4's KG1 :)

Should be fine flashing directely over whatever kernel there is at the moment, as it get completely replaced anyways.

Just make sure its the KG1 CF and no Kies crap running in the back while running Odin (use Taskmanager to kill them all).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saketme:
I am going to try this option, thanks a lot dude. I'll post my reply soon.

EDIT: Woot. I succeeded doing it, thanks a lot! :D
[Acer Iconia A500] rainabba:
I've tried to reset my A500 to stock a number of ways and flashed a number of update.zip's (the latest here). In each case it appears that data isn't being cleared and I get constant FCs so I can't get into settings to do a factory reset. Because of the FCs, I can't get CWM back on and therefor I can't format/wipe data that way.

What approach could I use then to clear data so I can get rid of these FC's?

I can't install CWM via ADB because "Development" isn't checked and I can't get through the UI to enable it. I tried flashing the update-recovery-thor2002ro-rev1.*.zip using power+volDown and got the triangle+exclamation.

I imagine for the same reason, I cannot flash any other 3rd party ROMs (for the hopes one would wipe data).

I'm all out of ideas and need advice. I suspect I need a signed update.zip that would wipe data.
[Acer Iconia A500] rainabba:
Thanks to this post, I was able to clear data without CWM, ADB, or a working ROM.

Here's a YouTube video (from Acer) on how to do this. "Locked" is to the left when the tablet is landscape, facing you, volume on the top left.

Still waiting for it to move from "Erasing cache..." to find out if this resolves my larger issue, but at least it's progress.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] lucas.scott:
Hey guys , I'm sure that like many of you , I tried the new touchwiz Rom. Since it wasn't quite as smooth as I would like it to be, I flashed back to Bonsai . I am however missing those Widgets, would it be possible for someone to upload them where we can install them? I know they are odexed, but thought one of you guys could still work it out . Surprisingly in all my time with android, that is something I have never found myself needing to do, so I'm honestly quite ignorant about it . I do know that we just can't push to system/app ... since I tried haha.

If anyone could help me out that would be awesome. I'm sure there are a few others that would be appreciative as well :-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] bootsie99:
Have you checked out Wizz Widgets?

I too was trying out Touchwiz and it lagged bad, And the small app tray was never used anyways so I tried out the Wizz on Bonsai, loving it
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Milhouse82:
What a great request. I tried touchwiz EUR wifi and it was laggy as well, but I loved the layout and widgets.

I would also like the Aurora live wallpaper from touchwiz, if possible.

I am going to try out wizz widgets.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Kevin Gossett:
I don't think you can use the TW widgets without TW installed...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] nakedninja42:
Samsung usually ties in there tw stuff with the framework so you might not be able to without tw installed
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] lucas.scott:
Hmm ...alright then, was worth a shot. I got wizz Widgets like was suggested, they are nice but are preety much just like the launcher pro plus Widgets..except not themeable :-(

I'll stay on the hunt . I liked the added color that they gave my screen, maybe Bonsai will come up with a way to integrate touchwiz and be smooth.

If I discover anything I'll report back here. Thanks for the replies .

Android's First multi version, fully working Dual Boot​

Dual boot is running 2 ROMs on phone. You can run Froyo and Gingerbread and switch between ROMs by restarting phone. All ROMS are supported in dual boot including froyo, cm7 and cm 6.2.

*** Flash 800Mhz first. I will upload 1020 and 1300Mhz versions later.

*** Partiting sdcard in cwm does not wipe data in sdcard.

*** Consider worst case and backup important sdcard data.

*** You can have your existing rom on phone as ROM1 if it is rfs, ext2 or ext4.

*** Dual boot enables data2sd for both roms.

*** ROM1 boots by default and to boot ROM2 press Home Button.

*** Press the ROM selection button between 5-20 seconds after turning on phone.

*** Here is the partitions used in dual boot.

Internal /system - ROM1 system

Internal /data - ROM2 system

sdcard ext1 - ROM1 data

sdcard ext2 - ROM2 data

sdcard swap - swap for both ROMS

Instructions to Flash dual boot kernel.

Download Kernel and update.zip files:

How to Make update.zip

Source Code : Still in Alpha stage. Source will be out with final Release.

******* Enjoy Dual Boot *******

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluefrog:
Hi all,

I've had a search but can't seem to find the answer to this query:

I've seen a few posts now that say you need to do an update via a .pkg to put a new baseband on, rather than just pushing the amss via fastboot.

What I'd like to find out is what's missing if you just flash the baseband?

I went from O2 2.1 to various Streakdroids (1.4 to 1.5.3 to 1.7, 1.8.1 and now 1.9.1). I flashed baseband 318 at some point and recently flashed 354 to the 1.8.1 build before upgrading on Monday to 1.9.1

Im not happy with battery life currently and also feel the performance should be better, compared to other people's posted figures.

Also a lot of folk are claiming over double the battery life I'm seeing.

What do I gain, if anything, by installing say the official 2.2.2 or 2.2.3 update.pkg and then re-installing Streakdroid 1.9.1? Can anyone give me a few pointers?

cheers.....

much appreciated :)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borijess:
Yes I had a issue with just flashing the baseband. Market and any other app would not update or install on my phone. Once I did a update pkg then install 1.9.1 all is good now.

Sent from the Dell Streak
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djscopesofm:
quick answer would be, is that an official update.pkg will flash all the images built specifically to be compatible with eachother, including some core code.

afaik, flashing baseband on its own shouldn't really make a huge impact on stability..

I use 318 BB just cause its the last official 00 regional update in australia.. I could use 351 BB, which is the last 00 BB, which I've tried, but 318 works best.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluefrog:
cheers!

Stability is very very good, in fact it doesn't hang or reboot at all (as long as the CPU is kept at 1152 or under)

I was really thinking about battery life (there are rumours of the batterystats from 2.2.2 showing longer life and mine is currently awful), signal strength, wifi, graphics performance (my quadrant score seems low at 1571) etc.

i'll probably give it a bash anyway - all good for experience!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s00p:
I am having the same issue with my streak. Battery performance does not seem as good as others report on 1.9.1, and I am unable to overclock past 1152 without freeze/eventual reboot.

Phone originally had ATT 1.6 on it, then upgraded to OS2 2.1, then to various versions of StreakDroid and currently 1.9.1.

Today I tried using the 351 recovery.img and flashed the 351 update.pkg for the stock ROM. After successfully booting and using the stock rom for a bit, I did a factory reset then I flashed back to streakmod recovery and then re-loaded streakdroid 1.9.1. Then I did another factory reset.

This made no difference on the overclocking issue for me. Any ideas what I could/should i try next?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluefrog:
I think thats purely a hardware factor. The CPUs have varations in clock speed limit and it looks like yours is the same as mine :)

Gonna play with .pkg updates over the weekend and see what if anything happens to battery life. Maybe I just use it too much :D

Hi,

so today I reflashed my HTC 7 Mozart with an unbranded ROM and went to redownload all my apps. I doing so, I noticed that the game I paid for (Crackdown 2: Project Sunburst) is gone from the marketplace, nowhere to be found.

i liked the game very much, the idea, the concept,

i was amazed when i noticed i was able to shoot the weapons myself

i really would like to know why its gone.

my bet is that not enough people brought it

and over time server cost became to high to keep it up.

maybe they should have code android and iphone versions too ;)

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VegaNovus:
They won't update it, because it's not making enough money to be worth the effort..

Anyway;

Just realised Project Sunburst no longer works? Want your money back?

As of late July, Project Sunburst was removed from the WP7 Marketplace and the game seized to function (the game requires server connectivity to play)

Sources from some news websites stated that Microsoft made a statement saying those who purchased the game recently (within the past 60 days) could get a reimbursment.

I think that's wrong, i've paid for a game that can no longer function and that I cannot play.

So I tried to figure a way to get a reimbursement of my money (as I purchased the game in Dec 2010)

I couldn't get an ANSWER on the forums or from the XBL support team, so I searched the internet looking for a number for Windows Phone support (and damn, was it hard to find one for the UK)

I eventually found one 020 345 05855 (UK London based number)

After making it through the robots I eventually got to someone who helped me, he said at first that I have the game, I don't need a reimbursement, but then I stated that the game requires server connectivity to be playable and he reimbursed the money I spent purchasing the game.
