[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Karmaflute:
I am using fastboot with the "Google USB Driver package, revision 4" from the Android SDK. The device is detected just fine when I am booted into fastboot but nothing is ever listed when I run "fastboot devices" from the command line.

I have tried this with my "Android Dev Phone 1" (I got it from ebay!) and my unlocked/rooted Droid Incredible. Both devices do have USB debugging enabled. Adb works just fine when the devices is booted up.

With the dev phone when I boot holding back/off I get the message "serial0". When I connect it to the computer it changes to "fastboot", as expected.

Any suggestions?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Karmaflute:
Anyone? :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] emjir:
waiting device

I have similar problem here. Fastboot cant seem to detect any device plugged to usb. Tried installing all drivers from LG setup, got sdk and ran cmd promt, cd directory, then typed fastboot erase recovery. It just waits for the device. Is there anyone familiar with this prblem. Hope someone can help. THanks!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voxigenboy:
I just switched over to a Thunderbolt from an Incredible 2 and am wondering about the process of ROM/Kernal installation.

with the Incredible 2, after i S-OFF'd it i installed ClockWorkMod and then put ROMs onto my microSD card. i'd boot into Recovery and from the ClockWork menu i'd select "install rom from sd card" and go from there.

this Thunderbolt i got is already rooted and has Das BAMF sense 3.0 RV4.9 installed on it. when i got the phone the previous owner kept his microSD card and i put in mine.

so is the process the same for the Thunderbolt or different? and would i install the kernal first & then the ROM?

thanks

EDIT: nevermind, it is the same. thanks for all the responses though ..............................................

I'm running ken's 4.5 beta on 2.3.4 but im having a few issues so i'm considering heading to stock but i just want to know if its safe. I have an unlocked bootloader and kens 2.3.4, question #1 if i fruitcake back to 1.8.3 will i get the ota update. Question #2 will i still be able to unlock the bootloader after i update? Any help on these 2 questions will be appreciated
[Atrix 4G General] ts8801:
I got the OTA notification this morning and thought nothing else of it, downloaded it and installed it. It starting installing the file, it got to like 60% on the bar(with the android guy jumping out of the box) then it stopped. Now it shows an android guy and an explanation point... My phone was rooted, otherwise stock from AT&T any suggestions?
[Atrix 4G General] mrshowtime:
it's because you are rooted, unroot and it should install fine
[Atrix 4G General] ts8801:
K I haven't done anything to it yet. Should I pull the battery?

Sorry I just rooted it like 3 days ago so I'm still learning.
[Atrix 4G General] mrshowtime:
yea if you want to be completely safe flash black to a clean version of 1.83 and install the ota. After you install the ota do not use rsd to downgrade ever again or your phone will be bricked permanently. ONLY FLASH BACK IF YOU HAVE NOT UNLOCKED YOUR BOOTLOADER. If you unlocked your bootloader do not use any rsd or sbf file, You can use ken's 4.5 beta which is the same exact update that has been leaked for weeks

Hi,

Is there a way to extract the karnel from my carrier rom (I want to root my phone and maybe replace the original rom while keeping the option to restore it for warranty propose) ?

It's a I9100TJIKG3 and I can't find it anywhere...

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Kernels are posted in Dev section no need to extract .

Kernel replace with original is no use if you have not got matching firmware .

You want a full rom from Dev section Branded firmware post .

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meber:
I am looking to start over from scratch. I have CM7 running off emmc with 7.1 but I just want to redo this from the beginning. The reason I want to do this is because the boot time on my Nook is like 2 mins 30 secs where my dads rooted nook color is on in like 30 seconds. So what is the best way to start this process over? Reboot to recovery and just wipe everything or should I write the clockwork image to the sd card and really start from the beginning. Will it make a difference? Thanks in advanced.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patruns:
What version of CM7 are you using now? RC, nightly? Do you have ROM Manager? I am running one of the latest nightlies. While it doesn't boot in 30 seconds, it is no where near 2 1/2 minutes. If it were mine, I would download ROM Manager if you do not already have it. (Make sure you have a non bootable SD card installed as you generally need it anyway and will with ROM Manager.) First check that you have the latest version of Clockwork Recovery installed. ROM Manager will tell you if you do not and you can install it from there. Then pick a nightly in ROM Manager. 132 would be a good start as it has an OC kernel in it. Choose that along with the market (box to check), then install. Only check off the box to wipe Davlik cache. It will take a bit to download and install and much longer to reboot the first time. See if this helps before going through the trouble of a complete wipe. CM7 will take longer in general as it has much more to it than a rooted stock ROM. Also, if you do not yet have it, download and install Titanium Backup before you do any of this and back up your apps to your SD card.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meber:
I'm running the latest RC. I do have rom manager with the latest CW installed. I have titanium pro which backs up to my drop box account. So I guess I can do what you suggest. It just seems so painfully slow on start up, especially with SOD it gets annoying waiting so long to use my nook.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moshe5368:
There were issues with nightly 132-134. I would suggest 140 as a good starting point as it fixed several wifi and SOD issues. Also the first few nights after combining with dals OC had some issues with slow graphics. All good now. Just saying.....
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stolenmoment:
I just timed a reboot, I'm running n142 (today's).

After 30 seconds, the shutdown and u-boot are done and the boot animation starts.

About 40 sec after that, the animation brightens and stutters a little bit (this means something, but I don't know what).

Ten seconds after that, I get the home screen.

Overall, less that a minute and a half. Note that booting after a ROM flash will take longer because it has to recompile the system jars.

For me KG3 looks to be a regression my battery died in 18 hours with very little use and lost a fair amount of battery over night as well.

I started with a factory reset and non-rooted stock with original launcher.

Charging now to see how fast the battery dies with moderate use.
[Galaxy S II General] angelomaldito:
Yes you can! You don't need root to upgrade, and if you had root you would lose it after upgrading (of course you could root it again). Just follow the guides carefully before flashing your phone, very carefully!

I do have the green spot on camera issue though. Interesting that it's not pink... I wonder if this is the software compensation for the pink. After all, green + red = yellow.

i don t try kg3

but i allways use delphing and flash works perfect in kg2.... and no os bug
[Galaxy S II General] dan@msx:
i dont understand people complaining they have the "android OS Bug"....

even with high percentage the actual usage time is a bare minimum. i have no concern with it and rarely even bother to look at the battery stats as my phone lasts what it needs to, if it does, i charge it!

[Galaxy S II General] zabihjan:

[Galaxy S II General] lavazzabg:
Other browsers works flawlessly. Just my stock browser is ruined :( Any advice.

I have tried weverything - flashed with wipe, factory reset and so on :(

I am in the same situation. Pity becacuse i love the stock browser :(
[Galaxy S II General] stylzjhn:
To fix the flash problem. You have to reflash with PIT and repartition.

I had the same flash problem till i did that. I have double checked it. flash without PIT/Repartition and the flash problem came back.

I still have the pink spot, but its somewhat reduced.

As for the battery, its great. I barely lost any battery when i went to bed.

Just to clarify to those that 'think' they have a battery bug. I don't think its a bug.

Correct me if i'm wrong...

Android OS has to always be running. Its Phone Idle in other words. If you don't touch your phone, then the OS will be using most of the battery, hence the HIGH PERCENTAGE.

If i got 90% battery left. That means that i lost 10%. Out of that 10%, the battery stats shows what has used that 10% that has been lost (Everything in the battery stats should add up to 100%). So if i used my phone constantly, and i lost 10% battery. Then the battery stats shows 'Display' at about 50% meaning out of the 10% battery that was lost 50% of it was because of the screen. But if i let my phone idle and it lost 10% battery. Then Android OS will be at about 50%.

If you use your phone heaps, your ADROID OS % will be small. If you barely touch your phone it will be HIGH.

My phone barely loses battery life when i let it idle, but i do have the HIGH % ANDROID OS when i do that. But if i use the phone heaps i only get 5% Android OS.

I have used KG1/KG2/KG3 and i havn't had any problems with any of them. Except for when i flashed KG2 without repartitioning and it gave me FC's in the brower after viewing flash.
[Galaxy S II General] CandyAndy:
Ookkkeeeey..I don't know why but after updating my wifi has gone from ok to awful. From my work place I can usually connect to wifi with 4 bar signal. No problem at all.

No after updating I get 1 bar signal and cannot connect anywhere..this is ridiculous!

e. and it got fixed when I turned wifi off and back on.
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
Thanks for the flash fix, will try.

Imho other browsers doesn't scroll and move like stock browser do, which I think are the most important functions for a browser on a mobile touchscreen. They are bloated with useless functions, for me, like gestures. Opera is good, but not as good as stock.
[Galaxy S II General] starbucks2010:
In my opinion, the stock browser is the worst browser possible. I discovered so many sites which are no working correctly with stock browser, especially downloading from these sites. So, for me, stock browser is a no go definitely.

Best regards.
[Galaxy S II General] lavazzabg:
Guys, dont bother trying the "solution" to flash with repartition. IT DOESNT FIX force close on Browser. Tried it myselft and it didnt work. The problem is in the rom and not in the partition.
[Galaxy S II General] starbucks2010:
The problem has a very simple solution: in browser preferences, set Enable plug-ins "On demand" instead of "Always on". Problem solved.

Best regards.
[Galaxy S II General] lavazzabg:
I heard that this is a temporal solution. I mean that with flash on demand the browser wont crash every time but 4 of 6 for example. But it is best than nothing.
[Galaxy S II General] luexi:
Nope, it dun work. still crash...:confused::confused:
[Galaxy S II General] starbucks2010:
Sorry to hear that. It worked for me but is true that I tried only 2 times. Anyway, for me the stock browser is the biggest piece of sh!t. I cannot download anything from any site: megaupload, filesonic, filefat, etc. All downloads are .htm files of few bytes or "Failed to download".

Best regards.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Try "Download all files" from the market, it will definitely work ;)
[Galaxy S II General] luexi:
so there is no proper solution except new rom? btw i encounter this crash in KG 2,

wonder if i should try KG 3 :confused::confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Krizp0:
I don't really get all your guyses problems with the stock browser... it has by all means been my number one browser since I got the phone, and never had any particular problems with it (no FCs), and its THE fastest, probably by the fact that its hardware accelerated. Currently running stock XXKG3 and it works perfectly even with flash activated :-)
[Galaxy S II General] luexi:
i really like the stock browser too. but so sad now :(:(

when u flash to KG3, did u use .pit file too?

why am i getting this ???:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] yatbond:
Gmail can't send attachment

Wondering anyone having the same problem with Gmail can't send an attachment anymore after the update to 2.3.4 (same problem with KG2 and KG3). I can attach and send, but the receiver never gets the attachment. This is after the update and was fine with 2.3.3.

My battery has gotten worse after the upgrade to KG2 (about 15% reduction), and am testing KG3 now.

Edit: I tried again, and I should clarify that the above problem applies to sending .apk files with root explorer. But sending photos with Gallery is fine.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
Could you give an example of such a site? Because it's using webkit, I couldn't see why they render incorrectly. And for downloading, a solution has been providen("Download All files") that's what I'm using, I believe Astro also provide a solution to this.

Opera doesn't operate as good as Stock, especially with Flash playback. Flash on stock, when it's working, doesn't hurt the framerate at all and is 100% lagfree. On Opera, there are sometimes little hang-ups, and scrolling isn't super-smooth with Flash, it's still quite smooth, but not as good as stock. Seems like flash is also hardware-accelerated on stock.

For me, Flash is very important, so I'm returning to KG1.
[Galaxy S II General] Jake-CT:
working well so far

KG3 is working great one day in - battery is vastly improved and the whole system feels speedier than it was. I grew tired of waiting for KIES and switched over to Odin and recommend anyone who is dubious to do the same.

Update to stock KG3 via Odin kept all my data and connectivity even though I am now on a non-branded (and rooted) ROM (was on O2). My last update via KIES wiped my google calendar on both the phone and my google account!
[Galaxy S II General] Krizp0:
Nope, why do people bother using .pit-files? It's pretty much unuseful other than if your partitions is screwed up.

First flashed KG2 with wipe and then KG3 without wipe and very happy with it. Battery has significantly improved, reception is better... :)
[Galaxy S II General] pliquid:
hi guys

i have flash the KG3 using Odin

in my google talk

[Galaxy S II General] obionenairobi:
Since I am using KG3 (Frankenstein) my Wifi reception and speed improved drastically but I seem to cause an enormous battery drain !!!

I just went from 52% to 47% in 30 minutes while browsing with WIFI, checking mail, market etc.

This is not normall ? Does anybody have the same ?

I came from KF2 where the reception and speed where not so good but I cannot remember such a big battery drain
[Galaxy S II General] Style Icon:
Your post is not very clear, Kannan. You are saying Indian users can flash the WIPE or NON WIPE version of KG3 available here, then flash any Indian CSC, and then restore the Product code to I9100LKAINU.

If this is correct then please explain how to restore the Product Code in detail. We have to dial this : *#272*IMEI# just as it is OR do you mean that in place of IMEI we have to put the IMEI number of our phone? Please explain clearly how to restore Product code.

Hello Evreybody

I've got problem with this rom. After updating thru Odin when I type *#1234# The CSC is unknown (on the screen is CSC: Unknown)

I've tried to set the csc code by *#272*IMEI# but in this menu there is only one green dot to choose without any name ane when I cilick "Install" it shows message "must be THREE letters"

So I flashed older rom GT-I9100_XEO_I9100XXKF2_I9100OXAKF2_I9100XXKF2. It should work for my phone but I still got the csc: unknown and *#272*IMEI# still doesn't work.

How can I slove this problem?

Maybe you should flash a CSC MULTI with ODIN. Search on xda.

Good luck.

but it still doesn't work.

I think I should get my official branded rom form polish T-mobile (recently changed name from ERA) but I can't find it.

Or maybe tehe is other way to overwrite product code?
[Galaxy S II General] :
have you made a factory reset before you flashed with odin? if yes that might be the issue. when you make a factory reset before flashing with odin you have to run the initial phone setup otherwise odin will not flash completly and you will get the csc: unknown

No i haven't done factory reset. So this could be the problem. What can I do now?
