[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richpopski123:
I've got the same thing going on. Was trying to re-partition the app space and something didn't work for the 4th time. So I removed Android and the SDE and now I can't get it to boot. My problem is that I was running windows, not sure what you were using, and I changed the recovery location's format. So every time I go to load the file the archos will format the partition then windows says it will not read and formats the partition... I move the file and try to start the reload only to fail.

I'm going to run ADB hopefully tomorrow. I hardly know what I'm doing, but don't really care if I break it! Just playing around but if anyone has any ideas let me know!
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzelle:
If you removed sde and android, there is nothing to boot from.

You then have to go into the recovery, format the device from there and then restore the orginal Android by transfering the aos file from arcos.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richpopski123:
Yeah, I might have done that 10 times. That is when the archos reformats itself to something and then windows can't read the drive.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzelle:
After you have transfered the AOS File to the device and it installs the Archos Android

it reformats the device to something?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richpopski123:
I think that the archos is formatting to ext3 but windows can't read it, so windows then formats to whatever and I move the file, then hit ok on archos and you get failed message.

I know that AOS files work because I have already used them once.

Have you tried tried to fully charge it before installing? I had that same problem and it got fixed by fully charging the device first.

You now have 133 posts on xda and still are not able to post a complete detailed description of what you are doing and what is happening?

How should we help?

My suggestion if you get an Error, tell us what error exactly, as my crystal ball is on repair atm.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richpopski123:
Ha! 393 posts and your only kind of a ****? Thanks! :)

All kidding aside :) It's not easy to describe whats going on, and I wasn't trying to hijack this thread but I think the original poster is way gone. I was only trying to say I had the same problem and was going to try a few things to get it working again, but this was only yesterday and I have not had luck. I never really even asked for help but appreciate everyones input.

So... Let me start again!

Archos 101.

Long ago I had Urik Droid 1.0 installed but it had since been removed. Before I messed everything up i had the latest Archos update and rooted. I was trying to create a large partition for apps and had just edited the init.rc and rebooted. Somewhere here I messed up! Boot loops start and I'm into recovery.

Recovery shows everything normal, but I'm unable to update archos via AOS file. So I totally reformat and remove SDE in an attempt to just start fresh. This is not the case and I figured it wouldn't be.

As I described before, using windows, in archos recovery this is what is displayed.

Archos A101IT Recovery

Would you like to recover system?

NO

REBOOT

UPDATE FIRMWARE

REPAIR SYSTEM

FORMAT SYSTEM

If you select updated firmware the archos will reformat to ext3. It then says USB connection: Press OK to disconnect. Windows then says that it is unable to use the disk and asks to re-format. I did, because I don't think I can do anything else, moved the AOS file over and hit ok. Update failed (1).

So today I installed linux in an attempt to move ext3 to ext3. I did get the file transfered and my archos even said plug into dc power. I did and waited... Update Failed (206). Not sure what this one is!

And that's really all I know. I can't even get the last thing I described to come up again. But I have all week on vacation.

And lastly I would like to thank you for the help :)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richpopski123:
And I just got the AOS to install! Formated repair to Vfat, used repair option and moved AOS into archos. For whatever reason this time it worked. Rebooted and android just started up. Don't know if everything works yet but we will see!
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzelle:
Funny, you do the mistake and call others names.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richpopski123:
Let me make this clear...

I was kidding. Take a deep breath, relax and please try to help someone else if that is what you are on here to do.

I'm pretty sure what you said to me was worst then my little joke. It was hardly clever and I'm ok with it as it did make me laugh a little.

I didn't ask for your help.

I didn't need your help

You didn't help.

And I'm ok with it even if you are not.

I'm going fishing now. Good day everyone.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzelle:
No, it was exactly what you needed, as before my message you didn't tell us what was happening on your side.

Please read what you have posted before and check yourself if you would be able to get any sence from that.

It is funny how some people handle kritik.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAYDENB:
I am having the same problem as described in the first post. when i copy the .aos file over. It say update failed (1) I've reformatted the thing a couple times and no luck any thoughts
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzelle:
failed (1) means that you probaly have it with a different name.

Check if it really is firmware_archos_android_gen8.aos and doesn't have any other extension or any other nimbers in that name.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAYDENB:
Im downloading the file again with a different browser hopefully it works this time

SOLUTION to your problem

Latley, the past two days, when I use wifi everything seams to be working fine. When I lock the screen and wait a couple of minutes the internet connection is lost. Wifi still connected but no internet running even though the net works fone on my pc.

Every app I've installed latley I deleted and I made no changes on the setting.

Does anyone has any idea how to solve that ?

Thanks

Check your Wi-fi sleep policy settings...make sure it is on "Never"

Settings -> Wireless and network -> Wi-fi settings -> Advanced (press settings button) -> Wi-fi sleep policy
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
yeah you need to change your wifi sleep policy to NEVER. which by the way is better for battery life compared to letting wifi sleep and switching back over to 3g for data.
[Galaxy S II General] tolis626:
I have exactly the same issue and my wifi sleep policy IS set to "Never".It didn't help at all.If anyone knows something,I'll be interested.For the time being,I don't really mind turning wifi off and then on again but anyway. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Aymara:
I have that problem on my Asus Transformer, which happens only, when it sleeps several minutes. One or two minutes are not enough to loose connection. Several other Honeycomb users are affected too.

I think, it's a problem with the Android Broadcom WiFi drivers, though I'm astonished, that my SGS2 didn't show this problem so far.

Both devices have a Broadcom WiFi card and it seems, that it helps to use a static IP ... it doesn't solve it completely, but it happens more seldom as it seems.
[Acer Iconia A500] bambooman:
Could someone compile a kernel module from asix.c into asix.ko? This is a USB Network Adapter for the AX88772A chipset. It is part of the stock kernel (kernel/drivers/net/usb/asix.c) but I don't know how to compile and add it to my A500. Some detailed steps on how to move it to the tablet and configure it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
my kernel supports it if I remember right...

edit: yes it has...
[Acer Iconia A500] bambooman:
Hi thor2002ro,

Thanks! Where can I find your ROM that has the kernel that supports the asix chipset?

I tried building my own ROM by packing my own zImage into the boot.img. But after flashing the tablet with my ROM, it hangs at the ACER splash screen. Don't know what I did wrong.

Anyway, thank you for your help.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] chiefroastbeef:
Hi folks,

I have extensively searched for this topic, and the only one that pops up for me is over on the phandroid S2 forums, and both threads claim it hasn't worked, despite videos on youtube showing that the Simore adapter does work with the S2.

So I am wondering if any of you guys have it working?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] theredone51:
Don't know about the Simore, but the MagicSIM 28th cut works like a charm! What is the version/type of your Simore adapter?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chiefroastbeef:
I do not have one yet, but according to Simore, their Platinum series will work.

Do you have the MagicSIM 28th? Does it install the Sim App on your phone that allows for the sim switching?

Thank you for your input!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Nyssa1104:
MagicSIM 28th has built i menue,and allows switching ot sim 1 to 2, 2 to 1 etc ;)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chiefroastbeef:
Thanks Nyssa! Have you used it? I am reluctant on this because I haven't found any reviews or people in forums saying any of the dual sim adapters work with the S2, other than the in-house Simore video on youtube. And then I read some posts from Blackberry users saying Simore has the worst customer service, claiming that it would work with the Blackberry 9000, when the adapter doesn't even fit, leading to sim card breakage, etc.

So I just want to be careful, since the adapters are not cheap. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] theredone51:
The Magicsim switching works through the standard Sim Tool Kit menu. You can switch from 1 to 2 and from 2 to 1.

Adapter works great, only "problem" is with the auto APN settings (for 3G/HSDPA connection). Android doesn't auto-config the APN settings (or at least it takes a looooong time).

What I do:

1. Turn off mobile data

2. Switch sims through STK menu

3. Turn on airplane mode

4. Turn on mobile data

5. Turn off airplane mode

When I do this, the phone automatically configures the APN settings and the mobile data connection works like a charm!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Petros_tigra:
any link with a shop where we can order it?

[Galaxy S II Accessories] jadaress1:
I'm interested in this too.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] RHOUSMAN:
I'll second the magicsim 28th gen for this!

I'd probably avoid the eurosim guy tho as i've have had a bad experience with him and if you search his website on here there's been a lot of bad talk about items not showing up etc

I'd go with ebay. I've bought several of these from the "directdevices" on ebay without any problems

Hope this helps.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] jonny68:
I assume http://www.magicsim.com/ is what your all referring to?

This would be great for me as i have 2 phones, the GS2 and a Samsung Tocco which is seriously outdated and in bad condition but i have Irish and UK SIM cards but if i could have both in my GS2 id ditch the Toccco.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] lochindaal:
I previously bought a Simore card for an Omnia and couldn't get it to work. Each cut SIM worked on it's own but the switching adaptor card never did. €40 wasted in my opionion.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] RHOUSMAN:
Yes thats right www.magicsim.com is the product
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sids911:
How do these things work? I mean does it allow incoming calls on any one of the two SIMs? Or only one SIM is active at one time?

And what happens when both the SIMs receive calls at the same time?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] theredone51:
Only 1 sim is active, because the phone only has 1 antenna. When both numbers get a phonecall at the same moment, the active one will make the phone ring, the non-active one will go to voicemail.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] entomologist:
If I have one "normal" Sim and second credit data SIM for internet access, it is possible set it that way that first will be not used for connecting to internet?! I am now switching cards but need second phone to get calls what is inconvenient.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] theredone51:
Not with the Dualsim app. But I'm sure you could use an APN-manager and "lock" the APN settings, so only the one with a data plan can connect to mobile internet.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] voicedialin:
S2 with none cut 28th works

Hi

I am using the non cut version of the 28th and it works fine apart from 2 sim online it does not auto switch has anyone got this feature to work with sammy s2 ?

Is there a way to upgrade the sim tools app?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] cwepruk:
Yes, I searched. I have a GS2 Locked to Virgin Mobile in Canada.

First off, I have a mac, so the whole rooting/unlocking thing seems to be impossible as ODIN and the other programs are all .exe's.

I tried buying a code online and they said they couldn't unlock it and most others sites don't like the phone as compatible.

What are my options here?

Thanks all.
[Galaxy S II General] Croak:
Borrow a real computer.
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
to root use this to flash the correct kernel from here

to unlock

I have used Heimdall and it works
[Galaxy S II General] cwepruk:
I'm struggling here. heimdall doesn't read .tar. I extract the tar and I just get an zimage and nothing more.

It seemed simpler on Odin, but I'm lost on this.
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
Take tar or the zimage and put it in the kernel slot and hit flash, it's less picky about the file type.
[Galaxy S II General] cwepruk:
I appreciate the help, but it's not that simple. It says firmware.xml is missing when I put it under the load package tab under firmware.

When I put it under the flash tab, it says not a valid PIT type. These are the only two places I can select a file.
[Galaxy S II General] king_dani:
could you verify that you have managed to flash with latest version of Heimdall? i have tried everything with beta2, 1.3 and it simply refused to work. i just used a pc to update to latest version, and i have no files to flash to test (it's been one day and if something happens i have to reintsall everything again), so if you could verify this, or teach me a trick or two to get it to work, it will be much appreciated
[Galaxy S II General] cwepruk:
FWIW, I loaded 1.1 and it was not compatible. 1.2 looked the same as 1.3 for me.
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
SGS2 has only been supported from version 1.2 onwards, maybe try the newest 1.3 that's just been released.

I have never used it apart from on windows, it looks like you may need to give it a pit before it will do anything.

You should be able to find it in an official rom, when I get home in 4-5 hours ill have a look at it.
[Galaxy S II General] cwepruk:
The screen looks like the ones I posted on 1.3.
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
Then you will need a pit from a stock rom, might try reading the faq :)
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
HOWTO: flashing via Heimdall Suite 1.3.0

1) put your phone into download mode

2) connect to pc

3) load Heimdall GUI

4) click Utility tab

5) click detect device (if it detected goto 6, if not install drivers which should come with Heimdall)

6) click save as under "download pit", save it somewhere easy to find with a name like SGS2 (no need to add .pit)

7) hit download

8) phone will reboot, put back into download mode

9) click "flash" tab

10) click "browse" near the top and select your pit you saved earlier

11) on the righthand side there is a window saying "Partitions(files)" click "add" below it

12) select "kernel" on the lefthand side below "partition details"

13) click Browse below "partition details", select the kernel you want

It should now look like the attached pic

If it does, hit Start, and it should flash :)
[Galaxy S II General] king_dani:
i think problem with mac is still there :

although i have yet to try flash a ROM or parts of it, to see if it could successfully flash it.

EDIT: nope, it does not work , still the same error
[Galaxy S II General] cwepruk:
Same issue here.

What I am selecting here? It asks you to DL something.

Phone just gets attached error - nothing further.
[Vega General] DarkShadowSwE:
can i upgrade straight from corvus to vegacomb without loosing my apps or having to reinstall them ? , or do i need to whipe the tablet first and then install vegacomb and all my apps ? , ( and if so , im guessing "Titanium Backup ★ root" is the best and fastest way to keep stuff between roms ? )
[Vega General] O_G:
Hi there.

As far as i am aware you need to flash the modded stock rom to use vegacomb.

It would be far better to ask this question in the vegacomb thread. Starting new threads asking questions just clogs up the forum. Thanks.

Take it easy:)
[Vega General] snowwhite007:
you have to flash the modded stock first. You dont have to boot it so just flash it and after flash stay in clockwork and flash vegacomb

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronin178:
Am wondering if it already being rooted with gfree would cause this problem-am unsure. Do you know which version of hboot you have? .86 or .85? If its the eng .85, boot into it and go to system info and see if it says cid-111111 or something like that..if you have .86, try to search your sd card for "part7" (without quotes) as this file would have been created if they used gfree in the first place. If you have either (or both) than you likely are rooted with gfree and are already sim unlocked. Maybe someone else knows some commands through terminal emulator or adb that can tell you if a phone has sim unlock.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronin178:
So doing a search in that thread for "module failed", came across a few posts of people saying you had to be running the stock rom for gfree to unlock everything...do you know what rom is currently installed?

Okay. Assumptions just from looking at the graph....

[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
And this will probably continue to happen as I've heard the level of synchronization that Android does is a lot higher than that of the iPhone and there is a lot of data transfer in the background associated with any widgets and apps are running in the background among other things. Never used an iPhone so I don't have any personal experience. Just what I've heard.
