[Galaxy S II General] shawnjan8:
Hey guys!

So I took your advice, bit the bullet, and rooted my phone despite potentially losing my warranty. One thing that I was hearing around these forums is that 2.3.4 solves a lot of issues, is that true? If so, I would really like to upgrade. Now that I have a rooted phone, is there anything different to go about doing that? Can I upgrade or would I also have to install a customer kernel again? AND if there is one, which one? :D

Thanks guys!

Shawn
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
Just flash to 2.3.4, then re-root again like you did before. No difference.
[Galaxy S II General] raf2k:
you don't have to root your phone to install official leaked 2.3.4 rom. Root is required only for cooked roms.
[Galaxy S II General] fuusuke:
Since you have a rooted phone, just use CWM and load a 2.3.4 rom.
[Galaxy S II General] wcharon:
Sorry if i am off topic but new here and still confused with the famous root...

My phone is not root yet but thinking to flash to the 2.3.4 thru KIES, so my question is if i upgrade can i go back to 2.3.3 if i don't like it ???

Thanks in advance...
[Galaxy S II General] SiSL:
Yes you can downgrade... 2.3.4 is not so different than 2.3.3, however, you can't downgrade via KIES, you have to use Odin and old firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] shawnjan8:
So, now that I have rooted my phone, can I use KIES to upgrade, or do I have to use CWS? I really want that 2.3.4 upgrade after I heard how much better the battery life is with the upgrade.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
You can, Kies won't recognize rooted/non-rooted device as long as you are on Stock ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] shawnjan8:
Hmmm, so KIES says that my version of the phone cannot be upgraded...

At this point, what do I do? I've been looking around and can't figure out a few things... Can someone recommend me to the exact ROM I will need to install to get this working? Once I update the ROM, will I have to do another root process? I imagine no, because from what I know, rooting just overrides the kernel, and a ROM comes with a kernel. Correct me if I'm wrong!
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
Make sure you type *#1234# in the keypad and record down the PDA, Phone and CSC versions before you update. Make sure you are able to find that exact version on Intratech's stock ROM thread. With this, you can flash back to 2.3.3 if you don't like 2.3.4 using Odin without losing any of your data.
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
You can upgrade either through KIES, CWM or Odin. Personally I prefer Odin because there are many no-wipe stock ROMs out there in a 1 file package suitable for flashing using ODIN.
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
Type *#1234# in the keypad and post what is written for PDA, Phone and CSC.

Then go to your settings, About phone page and post what your kernel version is.

I have rooted my phone using the same version kernel as my stock ROM and KIES could still update the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] shawnjan8:
Sure here is the info:

PDA: I9100MUGKG2

PHONE: I9100MUGKG2

CSC: I9100MBMCKG2

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100ZSKG2-CL361136 root@ubuntu #6
[Nook Touch General] cephasara:
Understanding the use of touchscreen would be negated, what are people's opinions on something like this on the N2E?

http://www.vat19.com/dvds/lightwedge-led-book-light.cfm
[Nook Touch General] GabrialDestruir:
If it somehow fit nicely onto the N2E I could see serious potential for something like that. Maybe something designed specifically for it by clipping on top or something and either somehow allowed touch to still be used with the screen in place, or that flipped up so it could be used.
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
I guess it would defeat the entire purpose of e-ink, as it would most likely kill the touch part of the nook, and (probably) add some extra weight on the STR.

But I remember on the 1st gameboy they had a lighting that was around the screen, but never took any space from it. Meanwhile, I guess we have to stick with the regular book/ebook light.
[Nook Touch General] cephasara:
Well I don't think it would defeat the entire purpose of e-ink.. touch screen? Yes. If this doesn't span across the whole device rendering two of the side buttons accessible it could work for conventional book reading.

I guess I'm just curious as for a good lighted case/solution to become available for the N2E.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakdroid:
I updated my Atrix to 2.3.4

Did any one tried Shoutcast Internet Radio within the Inbuilt Music App.

I see this works only when connected to WiFi and not when connected on 4G.

Could someone confirm me is it issue with just my Phone or the functionality is to work only on WiFi only?

Steps I did

I played a shoutcast station on Wi-Fi and it started playing well.

Then I turned off WiFi and switched to 4G.

Played for few seconds and it stopped. When i clicked play again, I just see spining wheel symbol and nothing happens. Then i switched on WiFi and it started playing after connecting to WiFi.

[General Questions and Answers] DaRizzle:
Hello. First and foremost i am noob, but i fee like i've given this site a fair scrub for my situation and i haven't found anyone in a similar situation. I have an htc thunderbolt, I am not sure about any of the software versions, but i am on verizons network. I recently rooted my phone. The rooting process went fine. I then went on to install the latest version of liquid thunderbolt using rom manager. The install seemed to go fine. IT go to the point where a graphic loaded on the screen. I think its the liquid thunderbolt loading graphic. It's like this vortex-like thing with a bunch of lightening in the middle and then a water drop surrounded by lightening. Either way it's been stuck on this screen for the past 4 hours. What should i do? Is my phone what htey call bricked? If so can i recover from it? Should i just yank out the batter?! PLEASE HELP!
[General Questions and Answers] jarradabbott:
What you are describing is happening to me right now as well. Have you found out any new information. btw My tb has been rooted for 4 months with no troubles. last night i put clockwork mod/rom manager on it went through the process step by step then selected a new rom I think it was from liquid thunder. Now no mater what i do the phone boots up to the htc screen and then to rotating screens just like you described. that's it nothing else. it will not power off without to pulling the battery. i have pulled the sd card. it will not boot into hboot. press down vol. then the power. :confused:

thanks,

Jarrad
[General Questions and Answers] jarradabbott:
Hi, this is Jarrad's wife and I have fixed his phone. I was asleep last night when he did this to his phone and he has been up all night working on it. He even went as far as to make me breakfast in bed in order to soften the blow I guess with regard to the information he was about to tell me about his brand new very expensive phone, since he knew it would piss me off. So anyway he had the phone off for about an hour and a half on the charger and stopped messing with it. After he told me his story of what he did to the phone I decided to take a look at it. He told me that when you go into recovery you push and hold the power button and the volume down button at the same time but, this is not true or at least its not what I did to get him to the recovery screen. I was going to turn it on but, forgot he said it had a problem, so after holding down the power button ALONE for about 5 seconds I then pushed the volume down button and held them both together and boom the recovery screen came up. Now it was not a fluke because he then used the wrong recovery option and locked it up again. So, again a pressed the power button ALONE for about 5 seconds and then added the pressing of the volume down control button and boom back to the recovery screen. I hope this works for you the way it worked for me. Good Luck.

Had my mytouch 4g for like 3 weeks now, rooted the first day i got it :) and tired a whole lot of roms ;) soon to find out i had the bad emmc chip AND bad screen fml. :( So now i don't want risk my phone on getting bricked or anything. I rooted my MT4g using the form "TRUE PermaRoot and the ULTIMATE S=Off!!!" now i figured out how to unroot by using the form "Automated way to unroot your myTouch 4G (difficulty level 1)" but my question is it safe to use this after flashing "TMOUS MT4G 2.3.4 ROOTED with new radio" I still want to have the new ota update but unrooted with s-on? any suggestions on how?

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Did you read the thread till it says "Procedure to revert"?

And remember - once you unroot and S-ON back, you can't root again unless you downgrade and wipe everything.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0e_ahm:
Yea but i also want to have the new update and I'm wondering if there is a way to revert and keep the same update get me? Haha
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Reverting doesn't reflash the ROM, just restores the security flag and removes root.

But there is absolutely no reason to.

The best would be just to run Gfree to restore S-ON, and leave it as is. If the phone is to be bricked - the ROM won't boot anyway, and the bootloader will be S-ON, so there won't be anything suspicious visible on the phone.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0e_ahm:
Well try this.. but if I do this well I get the manual updates? Or should I just download the offical 2.3.4 pd15img file and put it on the sd card so I can flash on hboot ? I know this loses root (just what I want ) but well it get s-on that why or should I get s-on first like how yoy told me and then do this?? And well this br safe since the radio changed on the rooted version?

sorry for my noobish quesitons.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I want to do this as well, so when you find out pm me cause no one will help me on my post about this. But anyways, i think you have to be on stock radio in order to flash the gingerbread update pd15img.zip file. I'm not for sure, i think i saw it somewhere on these forums.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
There is a good reason nobody posts - because all the info has been posted and you have been pointed to it, and most people don't want to post the same thing 15 times again and again. The rooting thread contains the procedure to unroot. You want to unroot? Follow it.

If you're dumb enough not to know, what kind of damage repeating questions cause to the forum - go educate yourself, or make your brain work and answer one simple question - why didn't you get your answers yet? And I guess you're not only dumb, but also blind, since the link is above your post and there are at least 5 threads in Development forum that talk about unrooting, and most probably 2 or 3 of them are in the first pages of the forum.

One would probably look at my status and think that "thanks" didn't arrive from nowhere, and definitely not from "little talk". I guess this is too much to ask, since it assumes the ability to think.

Your attitude is disgusting.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d12unk13astard:
laziness and not enough reading of the forums lead to these types of threads.

Like I said, the **** didn't work, smartasses. But you know what, instead of carrying on about it, screw you guys, I'm gonna be the bigger man here and leave cause there still must be some misunderstanding about the part it didn't work for me and the fact you guys on this forum are assholes for still trying to give people **** after what I said. I thought forums like these are supposed to help others, not ridicule people and make them look stupid just because they don't read the other 50,000,000 posts about a stupid phone they'll probably only have for a year.

So because we read and understand how to perform an unroot we have no lives?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0e_ahm:
Ok first of all I would like to thanks you guys for helping trying to answer my question. Technically I got my answer but it's not the answer I'm looking for... pretty much I would like to change my answer a little bit. By my understanding you can't just flash the new gingerbread update 2.3.4 if your rooted and have s-off (unless it's the rooted/detoxed one which I currently have and also I included THE NEW RADIO) you need to be unrooted with s-off right? So what I'm thinking now is I'm just going to unroot my phone using the automated way (for the gfree root) so now my question is it safe to do this with the rom I have? Because I have read forms that once you update to the new ginger bread you cant downgrade? Or that it's just a little more difficult to do right? ( I don't know if has to do anything with the rooted one I have btw) so if I unroot using that method well it root since I'm technically going to downgrade right? Since the unroot process says I have to flash the PD15IMG.zip which I think it would be an older version. So that being said can I just unroot using that method but insted of using the PD15IMG.zip they give you can I used the new gingerbreed PD15IMG.zip file well that work?!?!?!

[HTC Sensation] bballcat03:
TMO is looking at upgrading me to the sensation since my G2X is having ungodly issues that replacement devices can't fix.

So I'm wondering, what's battery life like on the Sensation stock? What ROM's have the best battery life and what are the numbers like on them?

I'm what you'd call a medium to heavy user. I text a lot, surf the web, check email, tweet, even the occasional pandora session.
[HTC Sensation] deliriousbb:
I am also a medium to hear user. I am able to get thru the day on one charge on medium use. But for heavier days, I will need to plug in during my drive home or at the office. Best bet is to get a spare battery.

My day consist of this:

Days start at 7:30

- stream Tunein during morning prep on wifi

- take a few pics/video of kids

- check email on the road

- send/receive txt

- post Facebook pics

- surf net

- 1hr play music on bluetooth headphones during workout

Heavy day is the same with the additoo of these:

- use navi

- voice search for local shops

- play games

- watch videos
[HTC Sensation] ctscloud:
I haven't rooted myself yet as its only a temp root. Based on what you had mentioned, it seems like you should be able to get through a day. Right now I think I'm having issues with battery life and am going through a warranty exchange. regardless, I'm getting about 8 -10 hours usually with medium usage. I will note that I manage my apps and kill tasks as much as possible leaving WiFi and 4g on when available. Not sure if it's going to help so I already purchased a anker battery (1900mah) which seems to help in most cases from what people had said. Hope this helps.
[HTC Sensation] Michael_Mcr:
I have had my Sensation for a couple of weeks now and from a full charge i am down to about 40 - 50% battery after 12 hours of moderate use that involves wi-fi and bluetooth.

I can get nearly 24 hours of very light / standby usage before i have to charge the battery when it goes under 20%

I have found that this device, like my HD2, required at least 3 deep power cycles before the battery gave its best. This involves running the battery down to 20% then charging it fully with the wall charger and leaving it on charge for at least 1 hour after it reached 100%. It will get hot during the initial few charges, but that behaviour goes away.

I find now that the Sensation is only a little heavier on battery than my HD2 was overall.

For those of you that likes to use Regina 3D Launcher, these are few wallpapers that I mod and been using on my evo , I want to give credit to "zandog". To get the best you need to use desktop visualizer.

Let me know what you guys think.

1- Download Regina 3D Launcher & Desktop Visualizer from the market

2- Download the attachments to your SD card

This is how is going to work: From Regina launcher hit menu and select to change the wallpaper, select the one you like the most, after that press the screen and select android widgets

use desktop visualizer 1x1 SS and place on top of each icon,select the clear icon from the attachments, do the same for each of the icons, select action by selecting the application that you want to use, clear the label and for touch effect select press OK, do this for each icon on every wallpaper, hope you guys like it.
