[LG Revolution] tylerdurden531:
I noticed after reflashing decrapped 1.1 the facebook for lg icon came back and it also showed up as an option for sharing a pic. I looked in titanium backup and it said it was still frozen, when I hit unfreeze it said apk file not found, so I hit uninstall. That was successful, then I flashed mtmichaelsons revolt rom and since he hasnt gotten bluetooth working on it I reflashed again back to decrap 1.1. The icons came back and I went to tibu again. I hit restore and it said it was successful, but then the icons disappeared. I don't really care if this program is deleted permanently from the phone, but I am wondering why it keeps popping up like that and why it's acting like that in tibu. Not a major issue for me, just odd
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiM:
I just want to root my S2 but don't want to encounter any glitches and issues that some people seem to be having with these different Kernels. My stock Kernel is UGKG2.

Bell Canada Galaxy S2 Released July 21st 2011

Model Number GT-I9100M

Android Version 2.3.3

Baseband I9100MUGkG2

Kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9100MUGKG2-CL371789dh130.yoo@SEP-48 #2

Build Number GINGERBREAD.UGKG2

Unlocked from Bell and using on Rogers.

It seems the 3 different KG2 Kernels that are currently available are:

CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip

CF-Root-SGS2_JP_XSG_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip

CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip

What one should I use? I don't want to experience network issues or any weird glitches. Will there be a stock UGKG2 coming out in the near future that I should just wait for?

Am I even asking the right question? Please excuse my newbiness. I've been reading through hundreds of posts and it's just making me more confused. I've tried SuperOneClick but it hangs at Step 5. :(

I'm not sure I understand this whole rooting thing. From what I gather, to root you have to use a different Kernel. And it's that Kernel that is giving you root privilege? Yet I see people saying something about CF Root. I think I'm way off somewhere...

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
Ok, let me start this off by explaining something.....

The rom letter versions are actually based upon 5 letters, not 3. There are several variants of KG2. Basically, the Samsung naming convention is as follows:

Model name: I9100M

Provider/Area: UG (Bell/Virgin/Sasktel)

Rom Version: KG2

Now, the rom version can get broken down into each letter as well...

K = 2011

G = July

2 = 2nd version that month.

All area's roms are developed completely separate from each other...

Ours is UGKG2. Which is unavailable for download from the Samsung servers, so we're not able to actually get back to stock, or make any kind of custom firmwares/kernels based upon it.

All the other ones, including ZS, JP, and XX are completely different roms and kernels than what we have on our Bell phones.

The KG2 that either of those 3 kernels are based on are either 2.3.4 roms or different 2.3.3 roms. So, matching that is no different than installing a KG1 or KG3 or any KF* CF-Root kernels. ChainFire has not made a CF-Root based upon UGKG2 yet, so no matter what one you install, it's not based upon our rom, meaning you can basically install ANY CF-Root Kernel and as long as your phone still works with it, it doesn't matter. All the roms are completely different and the naming convention has nothing to do with each other unless all 5 letters/numbers match up.

Personally, I'm waiting for our stock rom to be released for warranty return purposes before I flash one of the root kernels.

However, if you're willing to take the chance, I suggest installing a 2.3.3 kernel as that's the UGKG2 Android version.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiM:
Thank you Electroz.

I'll wait and keep an eye out for ChainFire to come out with a stock one for us then!

Another thing that confuses me is this:

People are talking about using one of the Kernels to root and then reverting back to their backed up Kernel while still maintaining root? Is that possible?

ie.

I pick a 2.3.3 KG2 Kernel, root and then use a backup of my UGKG2 again? Then all is good? And I'm rooted? Probably not eh?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
That works in theory. However there is no way to root without flashing over our stock kernel. So until our firmware is available on the Samsung servers, we cannot go back to the stock UGKG2 kernel if we overwrite it with a "root" kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zomby2D:
I'm so glad I found this thread. My SII is my first Android device and I was looking on rooting it but I'd rather wait for a way to revert back to stock kernel before I do so. Can others who have rooted their phones please tell what kernel they have used?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaoszero112:
Flash CWM kernel and root using SuperOneClick, or flash Dark Core 1.4. That's what I used on mine. Downside is the original kernel hasn't popped up in the net yet, so there's no going back til it does.

If you need to get rid of the yellow triangle you'll need to use the download mode jig to wipe the flash history.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David Horn:
If you can live with the yellow triangle (or can jump through a few hoops to remove it) then just flash one of the custom kernels. I'm using Niphetamine and it's been spot-on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LLCoolLuis:
I just registered on this site to freaking thank you Electroz.

Your post answered pretty much all of my questions.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -jop-:
Wow. So did I! I'd like to add one question though. What brought me here is that I have HORRIBLE Battery life with my SG2. Had it for 1 week, and I'm usually down to 40% by lunch time. And that's with what I'd consider light to moderate use. There's definetly something wrong, and I was thinking that it was the firmware version that I had.

Probably wrong thread for battery life question, but it is somewhat related to the firmware... so can it be that, or could I have a defective battery?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Domochu:
I also have a Bell SGS2 with Kernel UGKG2.

Loaded an insecure Kernel and I rooted it.

Unlocked it with Galaxy S unlock app. (The Galaxy S2 unlock app didn't find the code)

Used it for 2 days on Fido's network with the insecure kernel. Battery life was horrible. It'd be completely drained by 4-5pm. (about 8-10 minutes calls, about 30 minutes internet, about 30 txt messages) Yellow triangle was there.

I also couldn't use Kies from PC. It wouldn't recognize my phone.

So, I re-flashed with stock XXKG2 kernel since ours (UGKG2) is no where to be found. I know it's not the same, but at least, it's the same build. Insecure kernel is an old build (with all those problems that are now corrected with more recent builds).

After flashing with XXKG2...Triangle gone.

Battery life is greatly improved from insecure kernel. Same usage, still have about 15-20% when it's time to sleep and recharge.

I can also connect to Kies on PC now.

I think it's the best solution for now for the people like me who absolutely need root to unlock asap.

I'll flash the stock UGKG2 once it's out.

EDIT:

By the way, re-flashing to a stock kernel after rooting (in my case XXKG2) doesn't remove root.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killer23d:
Just flashed my buddy's i9100m with CF-Root XXUG2 kernel and it booted with a yellow triangle in boot screen, and went into the system

I guess it worked as I can see SU on it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashpimp:
thats a great explanation on the first post thanks alot, i was wondering if anyone here could make a backup with clockworkmod from a rooted galaxy s2 that still has the UGKG2 on it and post it so i could get access to the baseband file and use it as a restore, that would be very appreciated!!!

im getting the worst reception, cant even send text messages outdoors!

and forget about data.... all i can use is wifi

SL.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashpimp:
could u or your friend post a backup so that i can restore from it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eahaih:
I have also flashed my phone with XXKG2 Kernal, and so far so good. I am also using Canada's version of the phone. I wished that I would have read the forums better before I did as I failed to make a backup. Seeing as this is my first Andriod phone I didnt know any better. With the exception of some GPS lock issues everything has been great.

Keep up the good work XDA devs, you guys rock! I have really learned alot creeping these forums the past few days.

Thanks from Canada,

Eahaih

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R1PP3R:
Confused...

I'm not a n00b but also can't call myself a pro, but I was hoping that since it's related to this thread in theory, I could get a heads up or something.

I haven't been able to figure out how to update my S2 at all, following stock build and no hacks at all on my phone and it is not rooted.

M#: GT-I9100M

vers: 2.3.3

baseband: I9100MUGKG2

kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100MUGKG2-CL371789 dh130.yoo@SEP-48 #2

Build: GINGERBREAD.UGKG2

any help would be great
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cypher123:
I don't know about on the SGS2 yet as I just bought the phone about 2 hours ago. But I just came from the SGS Captivate, and I had these same kind of issues with battery on CM7.1 custom ROM.

I found that flashing a new modem greatly improved my battery life, I went from being completely dead by about supper time (with light-moderate usage), to over a full day usage.

On that note though with the custom ROMS they are missing drivers to turn apps off supposedly so I don't know if that will come into play, but it would be something to look into if the issue still persists.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martin88ca:
Hello,

I saw the discussion in Android Development forum that some were able to improve their battery life in Honeycomb (Flashback ROM, specifically) by renaming phone-related apks.

Can someone point me to the instruction on how to do this exactly? Also, are there any down sides to doing this?

Thanks.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fidelator:
something went wrong when installing continuum rom into my captivate, now i'm stuck on boot loop (i loops when the continuum animation happens) and i can't get into either recovery nor download mode when i try to get into download with the vol +/- and usb plug method it displays the battery charging logo and won't get into download

please help i've read about the jig but i don't think i can make one (don't even have the tools) and i would buy one but they don't sell those in my country

i'm panicking even more because i bought this phone unlocked and it doesn't have warranty :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Don't panic just yet. If you were flashing the most recent continuum, that means you probably have the Gingerbread bootloaders. If that's the case, try holding Vol + and power through two power cycles to get to recovery, or vol - and power to get to download mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
Go to the Continuum thread, there you will find a link for their irc chatroom, it's easier and faster to get help there.

[Thunderbolt General] DNak206:
So this is pretty random and I've done some searches and can't seem to find anything, probably because no one would care enough to do something like this besides me.

The problem: I'm a MS consultant and am tired of hearing **** from my WP7 friends and colleagues.

The ask: Is there a way to mask/disguise/FAKE the OS I have when working with social networking sites? Primarily Facebook for now, you know the "sent via Windows Phone" or "posted by HTC Sense", "Android", etc.

Anyone know how to change/hack/tweek that without changing phones/OS's entirely?
[Thunderbolt General] Danmn1313:
You could just post from their mobile sites and it will say posted from _____ mobile. You can also post from the main site from your phone and it's like posting from your computer.

I know this isn't really what you asked at all, but it will help with your issue.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
Caring about being made fun of by windows fanboys for using a linux based phone to me is like caring about being made fun of because you dont huff fumes from an aerosol can. Always annoys me that some group or person can be so blinded to see that there is more than one alternative that works for people and it doesnt always come from the same source :)

Some applications let you remove that signature or set what it says. However, the easiest solution would be not to use the application and use the browser in the site. If they dont let you set it, then you have to modify the apk or modify the build.conf file in /system (which may or may not mess things up for other applications that depend on that). It's most likely picking up the make/model from that.

If it bothers you that much, you probably need new friends and ignore the coworkers you have to see regardless. Your current ones suck and have drank the koolaid.

Your problem also reminded me of the following penny arcade comic (ignore the phones in question, just the general overtone of the comic is what is related):
[Thunderbolt General] DNak206:
I guess I should have clarified. I'd love nothing more than my posts to start saying Windows Phone and seeing their false appreciation and excitement only to see me still rocking my TB with CM once I actually see them.

Was just a question, thought maybe someone else might have had some hack to alter it somehow.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
Ah okay, you just want to one up them in a slightly smartass way :). Generally as mentioned, it's just a setting in apps you can change, at least for things like email clients, but you probably looked in whatever you are using already.
[Thunderbolt General] DNak206:
Yeah, primarily it's the Android Facebook app for statuses and photo uploading. I wouldn't have the slightest idea on where to start in tweeking anything in it. Naturally I think the settings in the app wouldn't allow me to change that.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] flamingblue8z:
(EDIT for further clarification: Check the PC10IMG.zip from May's size and that leaked build's size that was posted on the T-Mo community. Same size, down to the byte.)

This is incorrect information, and the wrong build altogether. The 2.13.531.8 build is what is in that post on the new T-Mobile community. That is the last leaked build from May, which was put on handsets mistakenly that were sent out as refurbs. 2.15.531.3, yesterday's build, is going to most likely be a "patch" style of update.zip, which will have the differences to be applied to the current software on the phone, thereby making it a smaller sized update, but won't have the complete set of files for the OS. So in tthe end, there is not yet a solid structure to build a nnew ROM on top of. No offense, siulmagic, but this is the same as the last one. Dig through more of the files and you will see exact matches. From what I saw, the newest build has the updated Google Music icon from the new Google Music Beta enabled app. Also, I believe the new Market is built in. Your images above, show the old Google Music icon. Either way, the build that was posted in the forums was just a re-post of the leaked build from May, since the T-Mobile forums were completely re-done, and some people there know nothing about visiting the XDA forums.

I personally use Xboarder's pure Stock 1.2.1, since I have no use for anything other than root access and busybox. Yes, he moved on, which is an effin shame n kinda pisses me off, but I'm sure someone will come up with a very similar build, right ;)

Anyone know how to enable the blinking notification LED (actually the battery indicator light) in the coding?

Cuz I have had fantastic service with this radio. I'm about to backup my phone, switch to my HD7, and put the G2 back to stock with nothing more than logcat just so i can track down the update.zip used from pre-wifi calling (which is most likely going to be a full update instead of a patch).
