[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shroomy_dude:
Sorry to bump in....

Hello, I am relatively new to forums, only discovered it since I got my galaxy s2, which was a month ago.

Anyways I have similar questions, and I read a bunch of topic which only made me even more confused about what to do, and didn't want to make a new thread so I bumped in here :)

If inappropriate, please ignore me.

Anyways, Ive got:

PDA: I9100XWKE1

PHONE: I9100XWKE1

CSC: I9100OJVKE1

It is an stock firmware, and I guess a ROM...

I want to update to 2.3.4 but waiting seems not to be a better side of me so I decided to do it manually.

My question is with what should I update with?

As far as I understand, latest official firmwares can be found in the Intratech's post ( the XXKG2 one ).

But I am worried about the CSC part, and how will it affect my phone?

As far as I understand CSC carries localization of a sort, for some network configuration, but my provider sends config messages, and only language I use in phone is English.

Will random CSC part affect me?

Can I even update from my current firmware to the latest one? or do I need to update to other one first?

Will update wipe my data? ( it seems no as far as I understood from guide )

Will the phone be full "stock" ( basically like I bought it with that firmware), and will I be able to update on later time with KIES ?

What kinda of problems (if any) might I expect with upgrading this way? ( if presumably I do everything as I should, i.e. as per guides )

Once again, I apologize for bumping this thread, and I thank you for any help you provide.

Actually i have ClockworkMod 3.0.2.4 (installed via Rom Manager), replacing v 4.0.0.4 custom from AlpharevX.

The better one for Desire S is the official one or the AlpharevX custom version?
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
Try

4EXTRecovery v2.1.0 RC3 it is based on CWMR 4.0.0.5 has more features & updated more frequently
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
+1

the best recovery

[HTC Desire S] heavyhms:
Thanks to all: installed!

Previous backup are compatible with this recovery?
[HTC Desire S] JackyJack:
The particularity of 4EXTRecovery is apparently the EXT4 partition support, but what is it ?

How is stock Desire S partitionned and what are the bennifits to change it ?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Yep, they should be.

Although I'd suggest that you take a new one once it's installed, no harm in being super careful.
[General Questions and Answers] olmo47:
Say, I hope that this will be more helpful, I got a HTC EVO 3D, but I change the SD to a 16GB, the 8GB that came with it has in it the movie (or link) in the card, I have try to copy and paste the content on the 8GB to the 16GB to see if it will put the movie "GreenHornet" in the 16 GB.

Did not.

I use Mac BookPro OX 10.6.8 for OS, I am trying to see if in the 8GB has a hidden files? SD card info. Shows 2GB use, but I can't figure it out how to find this files, would like to get (or put) the movie on the other card (16GB) any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hope I get some help.
[General Questions and Answers] Carlos_Manuel:
If your SD card have hidden files from MacOS then you will see them in Linux or in Windows if you apply hidden folder watching...

and then Remove trashes, trash-100 , other to SD card then you save free space!...
[General Questions and Answers] olmo47:
thanks I had to use my XP to find the files, I got them and transfer them to the 16GB

Thanks for you input
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] busterbrown77:
So i got my replacement Tbolt, and am running the leaked MR2, and one little thing has been driving me mad. The 3G icon looks terrible... and of course im not in a 4G area so it ALWAYS THERE. Is there any way to change it? I'm sure im not the only one who hates it...

Idk just a little annoyance. Any help is appreciated...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bluecat.NYC:
Lol I hate that ugly thing too. Also annoyed by constant warning toast whenever I start Gps - even though I clicked the never warn again button like a dozen times now.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ANDR0lD:
Should be able to replace it if u rip one you liked and placed the image where the icon image is in root explorer...

Use ninjamorph to change it, or swap it out in the Romzip (on your pc) and then flash it

To each there own but I like the icon better now. Although I wish I had 4g and didn't have to see it at all
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] KhensU:
Hi,

Since installing 2.9.1 of the froyomod on my milestone, everytime I plugin in the USB cable (without AC) I get a usb core FC message. Version 2.9.0 did not have this issue. Anybody confirm or have any suggestions?

Given my newb status I can't post in the the ROM thread.

Kind regards,

[LG Optimus 3D] karlgent:
Hi all,

Having a bit of bother with music on the phone. I was looking to rename a track (artist, song and album) I had on the phone, but could not find any way of doing it, does anyone know how I can do this on the phone?

Next, figured I could do it via LG PC Suite and add some music at the same time. Connected to the suite no problem, everything else works (photos, video, calender) but when I click on the Music tab, the suite keeps loading and eventually crashes. Anyone else had this problem or know a solution?

If I can't fix this, anyone know another music browser I can use to see what music is on the phone and allow me to transfer files?

Cheers
[LG Optimus 3D] m33ts4k0z:
You can't do that with the stock music player. I use Poweramp from the market and you can edit every tag with it but its not free. I'm sure you can find a music player on the market that is better than the stock one, does what you want and its also free.

Sorry I don't use PC Suite.
[LG Optimus 3D] karlgent:
Thanks, I'll purchase that or an equivalent.

Anyone know how I can fix LG Suite or an equivalent program I can use to manage music between my computer and phone?
[LG Optimus 3D] bioweb:
Why not just mount the sd card and use your Windows Explorer (or Max/Linux equivalent) to just copy the music to your phone? You can just make maps on your internal or external sd card and the music will be added to your library automatically.
[Thunderbolt General] bobsbbq:
Hello, does anyone else have or have had problems accessing your SD card? When I connect and select disk drive I just get a new drive called CD Drive F Verizon. In it I only 2 folders drv, and img, and a autorun and TL-Bootstrap files.

Any help is much appreciated.

No problems with my HTC Sensation just with verizon I guess.
[Thunderbolt General] jbh00jh:
Insert your micro SD card in your laptop usb slot with the adapter.

Then open it with your pc.

Sent from my Verizon 4GLTE HTC Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt General] bobsbbq:
Thanks for your answer but that is not a solution. I want to be able to access and transfer files to and from the device and PC via the usb cable. And I don't want to have to take the back off, battery out and shutdown the device to do this every time.
[Thunderbolt General] mike.s:
You should get a 2nd drive. The one you mention has drivers for USB tethering. A second removable drive should also appear, if your SD card is installed, working and formatted.
[Thunderbolt General] bobsbbq:
Well that's the thing, I only get the one which is the CD Drive. I have HTC Sync drivers installed and I have tried uninstalling but I always get the same.
[Thunderbolt General] mike.s:
A modern PC doesn't need any special drivers for a USB drive. Check menu/settings/SD&Phone Storage to see what it says about your SD card.
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
how long are you waiting?

Sometimes, it takes up to a minute from me selecting usb drive mode to see it on my p.c. Guess it is scanning the whole 32gb card.

The verizon drive pops up real quick, then the second drive takes a while with no notification.
[Thunderbolt General] rednoved:
Same for me. It actually took longer than normal today.
[Thunderbolt General] mattsonhistb:
You're on stock?
[Thunderbolt General] TheStick13:
Might be stupid, but have you tried rebooting your laptop and phone? Rebooting fixes a multitude of sins. :-)
[Thunderbolt General] bobsbbq:
Yes tried all of this, waiting for one hour and still no extra drive. I'm going to try to take it to verizon when I get back home.
[Thunderbolt General] ezekiel2214:
This happened to me on my and my wife's new thunderbolts. Verizon's software on the phone is crap, that's what is messing it up. Just kept messing with it and it seemed to work itself out on her phone. On mine... I rooted, I would recommend this.
[Thunderbolt General] bobsbbq:
I don't think it is the software on the phone, maybe something on the SD card for Verizon, but not sure. I'm rooted with BAMF ROM and I still have the problem.
[Thunderbolt General] JBO1018:
Try pluging in the phone. Selecting internet pass-thru. Wait a minute or two. Then switch to disk drive mode and wait a minute. I read that would fix it sometimes.

[Thunderbolt General] worwig:
I have never been able to get it to connect the SD card as a drive on my PC. I tried on a couple of other PCs and it works fine.

I think all of the USB ports on my PC are on a hub, and that causes issues.

I mainly use SugarSync to automatically transfer files through the 'cloud'. Works pretty well.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Daddy_617:
Hi guys I have a problem with my device I bought it soft bricked.

I'm able to get into dl mode I odined krylons stock rooted rom and it is FAILED so I put in sedys pit its now stuck in a recovery cycle I tried odining it like 5 times. It says something about can't mount mlbck01 then more stuff IDK can some one help me out with something that might get me out of this cycle please?

Edit: Odin was a success but its stuck in a recovery loop c'mon anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Odin to kc1. make sure you follow the noobs guide to odin. Both are in the bible. Kc1 under odin roms and guides, well, under guides. Lol! Let the rom load for 10 min. Then Redo cwm orange from krylon's final cwm thread. And try flashing again. What rom are you trying to flash?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Daddy_617:
Thanks for the info we should make a guide because kc1 is the only Rom that fixes it, went through about 5 Rome XD I'm about to go HAM its up and running finally

XDA BABY!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Yea, I'll write one when I get home glad it helped.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Daddy_617:
Definitely I was worried that I bought a piece of junk. I tried every rom and nothing worked until kc1 thanks alot plus if someone where to get failed on odin they should slap on sedy pit file to reformat.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jdubb1106:
if you use odin and it fails just try again a couple more times if it doesnt work unplug phone and take out battery put back in and hold volume down and power for about 5 to 6 seconds u should be in download mode wether or not you see the triangle...to see if ur in download mode open odin and plug in phone, odin again and this time it should work ( ive done this numerous times and it worked)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Daddy_617:
Imei fix (p)

GUESS WHAT!!! I want everyone to try this out with a F*ed up IMEI.

I tripped over my laptop while on odin when it said please wait in the beginning.

I then plugged in my phone and the phone and computer with a triangle in the middle came on.

Like an idiot I odined it anyways booted up and my f*ing IMEI was gone.

I odined back and forth every damn rom I could think of and nothing solved the issue. Looked into hex editor and that sh*t was too confusing.

So I went to odin again and pulled it out at the please wait in the beginning.

Pulled battery restarted computer and the phone and computer with a triangle in the middle came on again.

I just odined it like that and VIOLA B*thes YAY! back online I was soo scared too right after fixing it.

Well this is just something to try out for everyone who ****ed up their imei

P.S. Back up your EFS PRONTO!
[Galaxy 3 General] ka'cipeder:
Is your G3 a reliable phone? All of us on XDA have superduper custom ROMs and OC kernels and what not, it's all really great and I'm thankfull to the developers for that. But, it seems it makes the phone so very unreliable. It happened to me 100 times that I need to make a very important call and the phone just starts laging or freezes. Today it happened to me twice, once I had to call my friend and the other time I was expecting a call. Both of the times the phone freezed. Don't get me wrong, I can call anyone at anytime and talk for hours but in case of emergency it seems that the phone would melt in my hands. It's not just about calling but thats what you mostly need if something important arises.

After i flash a new rom, everything is nice and smooth but after some time, the phone is not that responsive. It depends on the rom and/or kernel, it may take a few days (like now in my case) or a few months. I must say that i didn't have any problems with CM7 A4, even after months of usage, but then i got bored of some stuff not working and then I flashed Speed rom base, after three days the phone was unreliable. It may be the different filesystems, when i changed to ext2/4/2 the phone seemed less responsive than before. Now I changed back to RFS to see if it makes any difference.
[Galaxy 3 General] Dharam_Maniar:
well, speedmod base was just a base, you should flash v1.0 on it via recovery...

and this responsiveness and freezing is mostly because of the kernel...tell me which kernel are you on??
[Galaxy 3 General] Rapier07:
@kacipeder

I keep a spare phone :p
[Galaxy 3 General] ka'cipeder:
Speedmod base is just what i need, v1.0 extreme has some apps and features that i don't need or have downloaded allready. I don't need LW, 5 Lockscreen etc.

I'm using g3mod performance kernel, fequency at 760 performance, screen lock 190-570 ondemand, and some battery specific profiles. I think the problem is in filesystems, yesterday i switched back to all RFS from ext2/4/2. Phone was faster immediately, especialy after unlocking, runs better with low frequncy like 380mhz. I'm sure that it's not placebo because i noticed small lag when i first switched to ext2/4/2. The problem is in data/ext4. Ext4 uses more CPU because it has some journaling, safety mesures and stuff and since our G3 has low CPU power, it makes it lag, very noticable with low CPU freq.. Ext4 is supposed to remove lags but I think it adds lags on some devices, including G3. So, if RFS gives you lags (not to me) use all partitions to ext2.
[Galaxy 3 General] Montoyatok:
My back button does not work randomly, been down to service centre 3 times in 3 weeks and its still not fixed
[Galaxy 3 General] cz.marcin:
So far handset is very reliable. Cant complain at all. Runing stock jpq with g3mod. 400-1400 on demand

[Galaxy 3 General] brajesh.sharma87:
Love this fone but yes that happened to me as well. Sometimes in emergency i cant rely on it.
[Galaxy 3 General] RafayelG:
mine is realy reliable I have had some problems with some roms (not mentioning names) but now I have no problems, if you want very stable go for a stock rom or try lower OC like fugumod 2.4 beta3 800mhz or g3mod performance kernel at 950 mhz. also make sure to set up some profiles and use performance for optimal use it drains battery faster dough but with profiles it should be no problem

I am on my own ROM now based on DTLKDA. take a look here but there are some other good roms out there.

Hope I helped

ps: DTLKDA is the most stable ROM out there download link :DTLKDA password is: samfirmware.com
[Galaxy 3 General] ka'cipeder:
DTLKDA is the most stable rom? How do you know? Too bad its for the US, i like croatian on my phone. I did a small test today. I converted all partitions to ext4, immediatly after boot the phone was lagish, it freezed in minutes then launcher pro stopped responding. So this is the proof that ext4 is no good for our device. I switched back to RFS, tomorow I will do the test with ext2, but I doubt there will be any difference when compared to RFS
[Galaxy 3 General] bartj12:
Try destiny 1.3 rom (oc, no uv). Its rock sollid on my g3!
[Galaxy 3 General] RafayelG:
I know because I have used almost every stock ROM, and yes its a us firmware but that doesn't mean you can't use it in croatia.
[Galaxy 3 General] TekkenLaw:
Absolutely reliable..am on stock JPM..no lags or freezes at all..only problem I have is occasional camera crash.
[Galaxy 3 General] ka'cipeder:
I mean, I want croatian UI language, that is not avaliable in US firmware. Anyway, I think i solved my problem, seems that filesystem was guilty. For two days now no crashes, freezes, anything. I will now wait and see how it behaves in emergency situations :D

[HTC Sensation] crackeyes:
Here is an update that works on Any ROM that does not have it built in that will allow bigger MMS size pictures to come through.

TO install

Must have S-off

Must have ROM that does not already have it included that works with CWM

Must wipe data or it will not work - just installing does note clear the databases that is installed on first boot of a fresh ROM, If you don't wipe it is not going to work

Have CWM installed

reboot into recovery

wipe data first (if comeing from an old build or changing to a new rom)

Install any ROM that does not alreay have it

install LargerMMS.zip

Reboot

Thanks Mike1986 for the scripting help

Thanks to joemm for showing my mistake. It should work now
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
Thanks for the xml
[HTC Sensation] crackeyes:
No problem got tired of the tiny pictures hope it helps out once we get s-off for every one when Devs make it into their roms
[HTC Sensation] crackeyes:
Updated scripting will actually work now
[HTC Sensation] raycaster3:
Thanks for this. I love how quickly this is all coming together!

Worked for Insert Coin Rom :)
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I'm wondering why

<item name="MMS_Msg_Size1">300K</item>

<item name="MMS_Msg_Size2">600K</item>

<item name="MMS_Msg_Size3">1M</item

is causing this issue and reverting back to 100, 200 and 300 is needed....
[HTC Sensation] bachviet:
Works great for me.
[HTC Sensation] lightninbug:
Why when I receive mms pic they are tiny??? Is this supposed to fix it? Currently on Coredroid.
[HTC Sensation] crackeyes:
you have to install this after a fresh wipe of data so it would be flash rom, cleear data, then flash this and reboot and it will fix the tiny MMS
[HTC Sensation] nardone24:
Awesome Thanx man!
[HTC Sensation] dream8441:
Hey...The picture comes out a little "larger" but more blurry...any reason why? How can we fix it? Does it work w/ the 1.1.3 Version recently that came out?? thanks in advance great job!
[HTC Sensation] itsmikeramsay:
Is there any way we can increase the sizes just a little bit? Like 200K, 400K, 700K? Or are they suppose to be a certain size? I did read going too big doesn't work and defaults back....
[HTC Sensation] avenger2540:
I try it with virtous but it say abort the installation,i did the wipe and everthing but not result...
[HTC Sensation] djdant:
Is there a way you can edit the xml so the max filesize is 1000k instead of 300k? Maybe 300k 600k 1000k like it is on stock?
[HTC Sensation] crackeyes:
its in OP LargerMMS1.1.zip I have not tested it but give it a try and make sure you wipe data first
[HTC Sensation] daSn00p:
there is some issue with this:

only tried ARHD included version but i think its the same rigth?

so it works if u set meg size to 1mb and paste an img with less then 1mb (lets say 800kb). then image comes fullsize full res.

but if u paste an img larger 1mb it will be resized to standard mms size (200-300kb) regardless what u set as max msg size.

2nd issue is that it seems to work only for some provider, e.g. tmo us. there we tested it and it worked like described above.

i tested it under vodafone germany. same behaviour like above when creating the mms. but when i try to send it i get something like:

sending aborted after multiple tries. service not supported

seems the provider is blocking such big mms. also if i send an standard mms (200-300kb), the mms i recive is just 60 kb so its again resized anywhere after sending it.

for now thats all ;)
[HTC Sensation] Toddy7658:
Can someone tell me exactly how to install this? Do I flash a new rom like LeeDroid then flash this straight after?
[HTC Sensation] djdant:
Yes that's right bro, I usually wipe, flash the rom then flash this

Sent from my Virtuous Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] Toddy7658:
Thanks, I tried that before didn't seem to work. Wiped the phone, installed leedroid V1.1 then the update patch then this and it didn't seem to work. Guess it's not compatible with this ROM? Or am I doing something wrong?

I've just flashed this onto the Insertion 2.3.4 and I still have small MMS :( Any other suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] ToddeSwe:
Is it working on Stock ROM with S-off?

Hi!

Have someone done this on a stock ROM with S-off?
[HTC Sensation] crackeyes:
did you do a full wipe of data? if no then its not going to work. It has to be a full wipe of data for it to work

Have not tried it but again it ahs to be a full wipe for it to work. All the newer ROMS are including it in
[HTC Sensation] tzoop:
Why would someone do this on a stock device? You wouldn't have the mms problem just from S-Off... ?
[HTC Sensation] ToddeSwe:
I've had this problem since i got my device using stock ROM.
[HTC Sensation] ToddeSwe:
As from 1.45 I don't have this problem any more.
[HTC Sensation] Beast84:
Would this work for Synergy ROM? Also is a full wipe required? Couldn't i just wipe the messaging data from within the settings?
[HTC Sensation] NRGZ28:
Its a very simple mod... you dont have the wipe anything, just install the zip :)
[HTC Sensation] Beast84:
Sweet just thought I'd ask since the op says to wipe then flash. But is this compatible with all ROMs?
[HTC Sensation] Enzopreme:
Is this compatible with the new ARHD 3.0.4?

Sent from my Tmous Revolution HD sensation.....
[HTC Sensation] crackeyes:
If the ROM in question already has it built in then you do not need it, You do need to wipe b/c the messaging system is built on first install and just wiping the data does not clear the database that it gets added to so it will not work

Should work with all roms

Should but I beleive Mike already included the fix into his ROM
[HTC Sensation] mreeekay:
Subscribing. Worked for Virtuous Unity 2.37.

Thank you!

can i put this on my stock rooted sensation without having to flash a rom ? can i just flash the zip

Yes but you would have to wipe all data first

larger mms fix v1.1

VERIFIED WORKING ON LeeDrOiD v3.1 (kernel build 3.3)

Thanks for the mms fix i did a fresh install on leedroid and added this before reboot. Tested before install and pic came in at 13kb and like 200x100 resolution. After fresh install and mms fix 1.1, same pic resent to phone now is 85 kb and 480x250 resolution (8mp image compressed for mms receiving)

May I ask what the difference between the two .zip files is? I used 1.1 thinking it might be an updated version of the first....
[HTC Sensation] sumasage:
Does stock rom have this issue? I am using the leaked 2.08.401.1 and it has the small mms problem. Just wondering if it how it suppose to be or something wrong with the rom.
[HTC Sensation] martywix:
85kb? I dont see that as working real well. I am getting pics of 400kb and higher with way higher resolutions. 8mb compressed still should not be that small..
