[Galaxy S II General] cue_32:
If you're wondering if the USB jig works on Bell GSII... read on.

So I received my USB jig in the mail today.

First off a little background...

Bell locked, but unlocked using unsecured kernel and Helroz's Galaxy_S unlock app.

Flashed multiple custom ROMs and the last one I had was Sensation ROM by Crysis.

At boot up I was showing the nasty YELLOW triangle and showed "Galaxy S II I-9100" as opposed to "I-9100M".

The jig worked, cleared my counter and removed the yellow stain on my boot up screen, and brought me back to i-9100M.

With that said, anyone in need of an emergency USB jig fix around the GTA can use mine but of course, you'd have to meet me... I ain't driving to meet you.:cool:
[Galaxy S II General] linuxmonkey2011:
Good to know it works.

I should be receiving mine soon. :)
[Galaxy S II General] marco_77:
Hey Guys, where did u order the USB Jig from? I'm looking at buying one for myself.

Thanks,
[Galaxy S II General] shuweee:
Can't wait to get mine. Its in transit. Can you comment on the steps you used to do this our provide the post link, thanks
[Galaxy S II General] cue_32:
Steps are very, very, VERY complicated....

1) Power Off GS2

2) Insert USB Jig

3) wait....wait for it...

4) done

:)

reboot
[Galaxy S II General] linuxmonkey2011:
Yeah you dont even power on the device. When you plug in the usb it will automatically boot your phone.
[Galaxy S II General] avinash4:
Hey guys, can you post/PM where you ordered your JIG from, there are so many to choose from.

[Galaxy S II General] zoule HCo:
if u accidentally brick your phone. Jig will helped a lot..

and even remove the yellow triangle..

Jig work on SGS I, SGS II.. and even works perfect on my wave..
[Galaxy S II General] shuweee:
Yellow triangle removed via usb jig. :-)
[Galaxy S II General] Horasaurus:
Just received my jig today, have a question though before I pop this in.

Should I use this before installing a custom rom or after?

Does it just reset the counter? Doesn't remove the custom rom or anything right?

Phone is brand new haven't flashed anything yet.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] onbacardi:
why am i so lazy to purches one! i guess ill wait a till im screwed :P
[Galaxy S II General] jentech:
Got mine yesterday. Worked perfect.
[Galaxy S II General] cue_32:
Should I use this before installing a custom rom or after?

After.... though you can also use it to get in to Download mode initially but not necessary since we have the button combination as an alternative

Does it just reset the counter? Doesn't remove the custom rom or anything right?

It just resets the counter, it doesn't do anything to the ROM.

The jig is only for getting into download mode and reset the counter... thats it.
[Galaxy S II General] linuxmonkey2011:
Got my jig for 4$ on ebay. And got it today and voila no yellow triangle anymore!
[HTC EVO 3D] cazman420:
unlocked phone but when asked to install clockworkmod i said yes then it said could not download and said it would retry, but failed and shutdown. now i cannot go into to stock recovery or rerun the unlock program to try to have it install clockworkmod. im so lost. please help. detailed instructions would help since all the other ways to put a recovery program on have failed.
[HTC EVO 3D] Dave2582:
What does your phone say when you're in the bootloader menu? Are you s-on or s-off?

If you're s-off with revolutionary at the top, then you need to flash the recovery image. It may be available as a zip, and you can run fastboot with it. I personally use twrp over cwm. You'll find the guide here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14693680&postcount=1

If you're s-on, you need to run revolutionary again.
[HTC EVO 3D] HackDPlanet:
You know where i can find that .zip with the most updated CMW. Im S-off right now, and was hoping to try out CWM. Thank you
[HTC EVO 3D] Pr0Ducer:
Go with twrp its highly recommended by all the devs!

Send from My 3V0 on XDA!
[HTC EVO 3D] HackDPlanet:
How do I go applying Twrp after having cwm. I need specific instructions please to include exact commands. Plz plz, I'm I'M me.
[HTC EVO 3D] evohnoo:
Dude, read... You were on here last night asking these very basic questions, there are 100's of of posts regarding this. Get the TWRP zip file, rename PG86IMG, flash through bootloader.... and then READ

i got my 2.34 rooted and started remveing thngs i removed one to many things so i decided to put a custom rom on my sd card and flash so i did full wipe in recovery from android recovery but 2 differnt roms says signature failed aborting
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
You need to unlock your bootloader..... rooting is not the same as unlocking your bootloader.

Start with the stickied post in the dev forums and read up
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcapone263:
if you're on 2.3.4, i'd say the safest way to unlock your bootloader is by running this script right here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1182871

you're going to get a soft-hard brick, but don't panic. just start up in fastboot and follow the script's instructions.

after that, install CWM recovery and flash to a custom ROM, and enjoy how awesome your phone just became!

Hey guys, where is eri.xml? I updated to GSB 2.8, and it is no longer at /data/eri.xml. Has it moved somewhere?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MongooseHelix:
Not that it matters much but to be clear, you updated to GSB v3.8 and not the older v2.8?

The eri.xml is inside of the framework-res.apk so you could use apktool to get to it and modify it there if you really wanted. Could be much easier to just have a look at Conap's Change Carrier Name app instead though. From the OP:
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skrip037:
Oh wow, thank you. Yes, 3.8 - sorry about that. I am trying the app now, thanks.
[HD2 General] Tref:
I have magnetic flap case on my phone, which I've used for the last year. Even though the magnets are not supposed to affect the screen I have a crescent shaped mark on my screen right where the magnet is, and the mark is under the Zagg protector. It looks like a dark smudge though it's not real noticeable.

I think it's from the phone coming on while in the case. I bought the phone barely used a year ago and I inspected it closely then. I don't recall seeing this until recently.

Anyone seen such a thing happen?
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
It could be the magnet affecting the screen, or it could be the magnet and the button were making pressure on the screen. Try to not use that case for a while, it may go away.

(I remember those old TVs which used to have a purple smudge on them when you close a magnet)
[HD2 General] Tref:
Yes, I've got a new case coming. Until it gets here I'll put the phone in the present case backwards. Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] MJScore:
Now that everyone has had a chance to use (play with) their Evo 3d are they glad or do they wish they kept their regular Evo? If you have any pro's or con's, what are they? I've heard pictures are better on the original Evo. I know that the 3d is faster but is it worth changing?
[HTC EVO 3D] Joey_UFC:
Its definitely worth changing just for the Dual Processor alone. if your doing it just because "3D" then you will be disappointed. the camera on 3d looks cheezy but 2d its the same as the og evo and not any worse.

Sense on here is great and much much smoother. Its a great phone dude and what really sells it is the Development community on here. were about to get AOSP up and running really soon and imagine that on a dual processor... It's killer.
[HTC EVO 3D] evohnoo:
I was in your shoes as well about a month ago... I couldnt decide between ole trust worthy 4g, or the new, and unproven 3d... I made the leap, and honestly, have not touched the 4G since.... The 3D flies!! Its incredibly fast, great screen resolution, and like mentioned above, the big names are now developing for it, which all in all makes it worth the buy... I promise if you do it, you wont look back
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
Came from the evo 4G, i'm besides the kickstand everything else is great, feels faster and really nice build, most developers from the evo are coming too so you'll be cover :D

If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d :P
[HTC EVO 3D] LouRock:
Swing for the fence bro. Get one..
[HTC EVO 3D] riceatusc:
Definitely worth it. the phone is fast. and things will only be getting better now that we have root
[HTC EVO 3D] osi13:
You can really tell a difference between the qHD and WVGA screen -- qHD looks noticeably better. The camera isn't a big deal for me, I am sure it will get a little better with time. It is much faster, and that is the biggest leap from the OG EVO. I wouldn't spring for the Photon, as the pentile display looks awful, and you're using a last generation chip.
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
How is it a last generation chip if the new one hasn't been released to the public?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luke39:
The proximity sensor does not seem to be working on my SGS II I have used several customer roms the latest is Villlain 2.4.2

I have down loaded the AndroSensor app and it reports under the Proximity heading "Waiting for event"

I was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem?
[About XDA developers] Fr4gg0r:
I wonder what the algorithms for the "top devices" and "top threads" on the portal are..

Anybody knows?

really bad joke that the evo 3d is "more" top device than the galaxy s.

My guess:

posts*i + arbitrariness(admin)
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
I think it is based on number of posts in a given time. SGS2 is fairly high right now, and rate of new posts is pretty high.

I can pretty much 100% say there won't be the arbitrariness(admin), as nobody has time to go doing that :D

It appears to be based on post statistics from what I've seen

I been thinking of getting it for past week.. It looks like a nice unit.. I'm new to the tab/smart phone arena.. Never had either of both..

I can get it for $230+ tax seems like the best tab for around that price.. One thing was can I increase the storage on the tab easily.. all this and that about roms and such.. Are they easy to use and can they really increase the speed of the tab and such.. Thx alot.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lenn:
Our best rom, urukdroid, is nearly perfect and with an additional kernel from sibere the tab is really fast..

But:

If you can wait and if you want the fastest tablet in the world yet, wait for the generation 9 of arfhos tablets, only one month left ;) they are really great tablets, you can find specs here at the forum :)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sondeu:
I bought it in November last year, at that time only Galaxy Tab, I-Pad and Archos was available... it was ok to buy the tablet to get familiar with Andoid-based Tablets.

At this point of time I would prefer another one with at least 512MB RAM. Agree, for that price it seems to be the best one, but if you are able to spend a few more bucks - do it ;) I think I will buy a new one by end of this year, but I dont think it will be the Archos Gen9.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimpyD:
The specs of the newer ones do seem impressive, but does anyone know what kinda price point they may have.. It seems it could bring a much higher price then current models new tech and all.. And how i hate waiting lol..
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lenn:
Archos 80:

8GB 250$/€

16GB 300$/€

250GB 350$/€ OR 400$/€ I FORGOT..

Archos 101:

8GB 300$/€

16GB 350$/€

250GB 400$/€ or 450$/€ I forgot:D

These prices are very low for such a good tablets:);)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimpyD:
Ahh that's a shame, I guess I'll wait and see.. I was hoping they be little more expensive lol.. Maybe this may drive price down little more on 101.. thx guys.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woti23:
urukdroid is far away from "nearly perfect" (maybe it seems like because there is not really any competition in developing for archos devices, which does say enough about archos devices at all), it's a mess and the ui/unmodified framework from archos is ugly like gnome was 10 years ago, and its not even $aurons fault alone (except he does not like android and google services at all), but because of archos not affording more than part-time developers on their devices and not releasing an actual kernel version with the hardware drivers to run a full actual android version (yes android, if i wanted some debian workarounds/services like samba server i'd bought a barebone and put debian on it, oh, wait i have allready). the only advantage: it's cheap, all said.

archos - it will take a time for me to ever buy something again from them, clearly not gen9 as there are alternatives out by now and i clearly don't want a cheap but useless toy for a few month until they get bored at archos with it again.

and this permanently canonising urukdroid and archos in this forum is really painful.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArchosRocker:
Best if you'll really wait for the new gen9, because they'll have the same price as the gen8 and they will be faster:D
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsoplinger:
The Archos fans forum has links to the US archos.com store which has a sale: $200 for the 8G SSD version and $250 for the 250 G HD version.

Please help...possible brick

Hi, I have possibly bricked my xoom...the good news is still goes into recovery, unfortunatley, i have no idea how to fix it....

ok, here are the chain of events...last night I unlocked and rooted via adb...worked flawlessly..

Installed Tiamat-Xoom-Rom-2.0-Manta-Ray...worked flawlessly, i did do a nandroid backup

installed the update 2.1....worked flawlessly

i pushed the ad-hoc via /wpa_supplicant...it was working last night

during my lunch today i fired up the xoom and connected my wifi tether from my revo to the xoom and I could only go to websites and could not access data through apps...here is where I screwed up...I flashed a zip of the ad-hoc and that didn't work either...Then I screwed up more and tryed to reflash the tiamat rom and rebooted.....

fires up the the dual core logo and stays there...

tried a recovery of my backup and the boot recovers but get error message on all the others backed up....

I can reboot into into recovery, and get adb access in recovery, but everytime i try to go to fast boot it knocks off my usb access and gets stuck...cant push anything after that.

anyone have any ideas how I can save this thing? any help would be so appreciated!

Per the thread started by generic.imitation q and a....

the SBF file from Multiupload is no longer there,,,i did get the latest version of RSD Lite (4.9) ....if anyone know how to get the sbf fine, please let me know and maybe some directions on how to use the rsd lite program....

Thanks again....I am worried!
[Xoom General] rschenck:
First of all, if you can get into recovery you are nowhere near bricked. You will find a solution.

It sounds to me like you need to download the full stock image and flash it via fastboot so first priority is to get that up and running. You can download the files from Motorola and there are several good threads on how to install them and/or use adb.
[Xoom General] jphillips.hd88:
Thanks for getting back to me....Thats what I'm thinking...i figure if i can get into recovery im good

but.......

I have the image files ready to go, i just cant get them flashed. i can open adb in recovery, but as soon as I reboot bootloader, it boots to flashboot and i lose adb access and cant figure out to get it back....i know i have the right drivers....

Ive tried to push through rsdlite, but i get a error when I start the flash..I have the thegiftoftheregion sbf files, but those are for hri39, and i cant find the hri66 sbf

Im at a complete loss!

Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Im at a loss
[Xoom General] jphillips.hd88:

Hi I been bouncing from Rom to Rom like a maniac this week and I know this has probably been asked a million times before but ima ask anyways and anyone is welcome to answer which Rome have the best and longest batteries with out giving up performance? From my experience anything Gingerbread or asop has had the longest but I'm curious about which kernels n stuff would b recommended on royal Ginger right now.

P.s I love sense but they're to heavy on battery from what I've experienced
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
The battery you get is all dependent on how you use the Phone, if you are a heavy user you can't expect 2 days out of the battery, lite users can manage a day or more. Personally I'm loving MIUI now, I listen to music, maybe some games, phone calls, internet[4g], etc and I can mange 1 day if I try. I couldn't really kill it in under 8hrs if I wanted to. After you flash a ROM, you should try this...

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
RoyalGinger has amazing battery life. Just make sure to calibrate your battery after flashing and give it a couple days to "settle". I have gone 36 hours with moderate use and wi-fi on nearly all the time without charging. There have been people that went much longer.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrystinThaBoSs:
GenerationX is the best.

ive tryed a ton myself and honestly i dont think there is a rom better than GenerationX...they removed a ton of crap you dont need and it is super small and is superfast...which = way better battery!! try it out man and let me know (:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keji13:
Yea I calibrate all the time and royals been good. I'd say I'm a pretty heavy user mainly texting like all day long some music SN games. Yesterday I only got 9 hours 27 mins on royal Ginger once I went up to 17 hours. I was just curious cause I see so many ppl posting screen shots of ridiculous battery life that I can't even get close too on the same roms. Like 3.0 roms lasts me like 6 hours n I'll deff try that Rom then thanks

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avshi750:
also consider there has been some reports of excessive battery drain caused by the tmo service itself before counting out any specific ROM. supposedly tmo is working on the issues. i really like the new VU but AOSP ROMs feel so clean, hard to choose. maybe i should just get a second phone:rolleyes:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
If you want to try out a different kernel for better battery life, flash one of faux's. He is pretty focused on battery life. demonspeed kernels from Thederekjay are pretty sweet too. They can be used with royalginger and cm7 post night91 or 92.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
I agree, Faux and thederekjay make some kick ass kernels. youll also have to tweak the rom to your likings for better battery life (ex. disabling haptic feedback, lowering screen timeout, syncing, etc...) theres also an app called Watchdog task manager and it notifies you of "rogue apps" that consume too much power. give it a shot:)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keji13:
Yea Generation X im running v5 its pretty sick i like the way everything flips n stuff and i love the Demonspeed kernel its sick love all the govenors n the fact that i can underclock when screen is off below 245 thats pretty sick but atm generation x is only lasting me bout 8 to 9 hours its a possibility that its the actuall tmo service but i never really had this issue before when Cm7 first came out i was in love lasted me up 17 hours which is alot for me considering im on it all day long for business and all but i need some change in my life be able to flash roms as much as i do stops me from buying a new phone every couple weeks lol . I think ima try the new royal ginger 3.0 but will i be able to flash the Demonspeed kernel on that one?. i really like the way everything flips and stuff when you open an app on generation X is that a setting or is that like unique to only that rom? also anyone know the difference between scary, demonspeed, minmax, and Smartass governors? kinda curious i searched it found in depth detail bout regular ones like conservative ect but i tend to lag on conservative phone takes a while to open n jump up to speed for decent performance. anyways thanks for the help and suggestion guys sorry if i ask to many questions lol
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
1. yes you can use the demonSPEED kernel with RG 3.0

2. the screen transitions and animations can also be used with different launchers from the market, like LauncherPro or ADW being the most popular ones. just look under "menu>launcher settings"

3. Faux and thederekjay give details for their kernels in the OP of their threads, and which governor is which:

Faux's AOSP v1.0.7 kernel

thederekjay's demonSPEED v5 kernel

hope this helps you out
