[Milestone XT720 General] TyrionWarMage:
I was using my phone as usual when it suddently black screend with a bootloop (bootloader, not system). I had MiuiXT720v2Final running. Open Recovery was still working and i resetted everything. Nothing changed. I reapplied the Nandroid Miui packages, and still no change. Not even restoring an old Khal Backup did work. I then reinstalled the complete OS via RSD Lite, using the original XT720 EU sbf. It blackscreend again on setup (google acc&co), but booted to system afterwards. In system, i got a blackscreen again and the system is not booting again .... This sounds pretty serious to me, because it doesnt seem to be firmware related.

Is there anything i can try out to get it fixed or can i deem it a brick ?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
Yes mate, but we're not slaves here. If you don't know how to do something then find out how to do it instead of just asking someone to do it for you.

Find a list of all the ROMs you want to ask people to vote on and then create a new thread and before you post it look down near the bottom for the section called "Post a Poll", with the option "Yes, post a poll with this thread".

Just fill that in and there's your poll.

Please help as I am extremely confused.

I have a new SG2. I did not root it.

Every time I restart my phone I see an Yellow Triangle with exclamation mark.

Now, as I understand, everyone who gets the triangle has rooted the phone.

Is there something wrong with my SG2?

Kies shows this info:

PDA: KF1

Phone: KE7

CSC: KF1 (XSG)

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karendar:
Does your phone boot? If it boots up, the yellow exclamation point is just when you flash a non signed ROM from Odin. If it doesn't boot and stays at the yellow exclamation, something might be wrong and you need to factory reset to try and fix it...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cue_32:
Did you pay to get it unlocked? If you did... I'd speak with them first, they probably rooted your phone and ran the Helroz unlock version. Then get your money back. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoney73:
Or send them a lawyers letter asking for £500, because they have invalidated your warranty by rooting the phone without your consent.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgoel13:
My phone boots normal, I have restarted my phone several times now.

I did not pay to get it unlocked. However, it is possible that the handsets sold here (in Qatar) are unlocked. How do I confirm this. As far as I understand I still have warranty.

Anyway, coming back to the original question, is this good or bad (not considering the warranty factor).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pume:
I'm pretty sure that when Samsung has not locked the bootloader flashing a custom rom won't affect the warranty. It may depend on the system of your country though. Here in Finland it does not affect the warranty, or at least did not affect on my previous phones.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
Apart from esthetics and the void warranty, it really doesn't matter at all.

It has no "technical effect", it only tells that a non-Samy-signed kernel had been flashed.

Also, there is a list of ways to get rid of it again:

- USB jig

- flash a stock Samsung kernel again via an PC app called "Odin"
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erwan960:
Indeed, USB jig works fine :) and erase download information.

With the jig : current binary is a Samsung official one and custom binary download is set to no.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgoel13:
Ok. I am a pure newbie with this. I am still searching for some explanation on 'kernel' and 'ROM'. I will be most grateful if you could point me to the right direction:

Is my phone rooted?

If no, then I need to root via ODIN and 'flash an insecure kernel' and then use SuperOne Click. This is required to 'flash a custom ROM'

If yes, then I just need to 'flash a custom ROM'.

I have read and re-read the guides posted on rooting/flashing but maybe I am missing something. Can I use any 'insecure kernel' or custom ROM?

Thanks a lot again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
Root is not required to flash a custom rom. The custom roms install kernels that are rooted themselves.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
First off, there is no "need" to flash a custom ROM, everything works fine on a stock ROM, even rooting.

The "kernel" the lowest, innermost "core" of the OS, it's the part started at boot and taking care of the rest of the OS to boot up.

Also, by now, you don't need the SuperOneClick route anymore, there's more easy/faster ways by now with kernels that already bring and do everything you need.

You might want to take a look at CF-Root or maybe even my own kernel I just fished :D

Those take care of everything needed for getting root access, besides flashing the kernel via Odin, nothing more needs to be done.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgoel13:
Thanks a lot!! That was really helpful.

Am I wrong in assuming that a custom ROM would take care of the battery drain issue? or just using a kernel (such as yours) would do the trick. I only wanted to change the kernel/ROM for battery.

Also I looked at your kernel.

Download a build of my kernel that matches your FW/current kernel version und unpack the downloaded archive.

You will get a .tar file. Don't extract that, you need this .tar.

(go to Settings -> About this phone -> look at "Kernel Version", this will tell you what kernel build you need)

My Kernel Version is : 2.6.35.7-I9100JPKF1-CL277308 root@DELL154#2

so what build do I need?

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgoel13:
@HellcatDroid,

So I need a KF1 build but you only have KE7 and KG2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
AS THE MAN SAYS.

The kernels are compiled pretty universal, so the KE7 one should work on most 2.3.3 based FWs and the KG2 one on most 2.3.4 ones.

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgoel13:
Got it. Thanks.

Although I decided not to flash Kernel/ROM as I could not find any strong evidence yet on reduction on battery drain after flashing. So beats the purpose, I guess. Will keep looking for the evidence though!!!

Thanks everyone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
I can make an explicit KF1 build, no problem :)

Will do so tonight as I'm also going to make a KG3 one.

The kernel will indeed very likely not affect battery drain.

The ROM however could. There's a lot of people saying on the 2.3.4 based FWs (XXKG1/2/3) the battery lasts longer.

Though, there is no "bulletprove prove" of that yet.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgoel13:
Thanks. Although, I still haven't figured out why does one need to flash a new kernel? I understand it would make sense for developers such as you for more control etc. but for an average user does it give more visible benefits?

I am gonna stick with juice defender for now instead of a new ROM and wait for a definite solution either from Samsung or developers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
Depends on the kernel, what's put in.

CF-Root as well the one I am working on myself for example take care of everything that's needed for rooting after being flashed, no additional actions by the user needed.

It also comes with some more options for customisation, like bootscripts, custom bootanimation, sound and logo.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgoel13:
Ok. Will wait for the KF1 you are making and try it. Would you also suggest a custom ROM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
I built KF1 tonight along the KG3 one :)

ROM wise I am still sailing with stock ROM, though giving the DevNull AOSP one a testdrive - it's bare Android with nothing in it. It's really nice but I miss all the features I so got used to, so for daily usage I'll stay on stock Samy ROM.

- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip

- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer

- Start ODIN

- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar

- Put your phone in download mode

- Wait for the phone to reboot

- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)

3rd do this

Getting rid of that pesky warning triangle during boot

It is definitely possible to remove that pesky warning triangle during boot when running a custom kernel, though you should be well aware that this method does NOT reset the custom kernel flash counter. The steps are not complicated, but they aren't easy either, so read well.

(1) Make sure you have CF-Root flashed (see the first post). You must have the "CWM Manager" app available.

(2) Make sure you have the same version of CF-Root extracted until you have the zImage file. (ZIP --> extract --> TAR --> extract --> zImage).

(3) Push the zImage file to /sdcard . It must still be called zImage !

(4) Find an original Samsung signed stock kernel (preferably from the same stock firmware you have, but it's not terribly important)

(5) Reboot into download mode (adb reboot download, or boot the device with home and volume-down pressed)

(6) Fire up ODIN, and flash the Samsung kernel

(7) Boot the device with the stock kernel. CWM Manager will still be available.

(8) Start CWM Manager, select Flash Kernel, and select the zImage from CF-Root you previously put on your SD-card. The kernel will flash and the device will reboot.

(9) You will now notice you no longer have the warning triangle during boot, but you are actually running CF-Root with all it's goodies!

(10) In the future, if you only use the Flash Kernel option inside CWM Manager instead of ODIN, the triangle will not return, neither will your flash counter increase. But keep in mind, that CWM Manager can only handle a direct "zImage" if you are NOT running a kernel with full busybox support (this is currently needed for flashing kernels out of .TAR and .ZIP files)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3l1:
Guess that's true, why not lock and then void warranty if people take advantage of that? Still resetting everything with a jig should do no harm, remembering those internal Samsung letters posted on samfirmware telling the employes to look for signs of root :)

Do you have a DBT phone, too? If so, the newest firmware is still KF3, right? Just to make sure, and avoid that KIES is somehow blocking the update due to root or the modded kernel. you never now ... :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
Yeah DBT for me as well, but I never used Kies (only installed it for the USB drivers) and don't plan on doing so.

I'll keep flashing my firmwares via Odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3l1:
I'm waiting for the Kies update to 2.3.4 and hope it won't mess up my data, settings and apps. Read so often that using the 2.3.4 roms that are out to update from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 led to errors, FCs and other stuff.

[Wildfire General] -Howard-:
Because there is no GPU overclocking only helps a little
[Wildfire General] wolfway:
on my wildfire angry birds runs much smoother than on stock ROM. I can even play it with internet on (on stock rom the ads caused too much lag, i have shut them down with adfree now however but still)
[Wildfire General] tomnten:
What are your performance settings, thanks in advance ;)
[Wildfire General] wolfway:
as for now:

CM7 version 7.0.2 (however i should perhaps upgrade to newer version)

overclock 710/245 MHz (smartass governor) (however it worked with 690 perfectly aswel)

other than that the standard settings when CM is installed. I just increased the VM heap size to 32 from 24, but haven't ran angry birds since then.

I find that angry birds runs smoother if there are no ads, therefor if you shut down your internet connection it might go faster. However, I use the app called "adfree" which blocks most ads, so I have adfree angry birds anyway :) Another way is to use juicedefender, it has an option that you can shut down internet when certain apps are running (so you can make it that there is no internet if you run angry birds etc)
[Wildfire General] tomnten:
Thanks my settings are pretty similar, can you explain what vm heap size is ;) Thanks, very helpful!
[Wildfire General] Titchen:
VM Heap Size is the maximum memory an application can consume. More resource-intensive applications ( Angry Birds ) require more heap to run. 16-24M is usually enough.
