[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
The two things that immediately come to mind are 1) The new rom you've downloaded is corrupt/incomplete. 2) CW might be broken in some way.

I figure the first thing you need to do is fix the "failed to verify whole-file signature" thing. A quick search of XDA for that phrase yielded me a whole heap of results. I suggest you do a search on here for "failed to verify whole-file signature", the single thread I had a quick look at offered several possible solutions to that problem (I say possible as they may/may not work for you).

Always remember...On XDA, search is your friend :D

Edit to add - You could always go back to stock/flash a stock rom via Odin/download mode first, then flash a CFRoot kernel. From there you could then flash the new rom you were wanting to try via CW. Just a thought ;-)

Edit to add again - The zip of the new rom you were wanting to flash, did you check/test the contents of the zip in your archive program (WinZip/IZArc/7Zip) ? If you do this (if the program doesn't have a check/test feature for some strange reason, simply try to extract all the files in the zip & test it that way), at least you can either rule in or out the zip being corrupt & we'll pretty much know for sure CW is broken.

If the zip is corrupt, download it again. I have had problems like that before, for some reason my home internet connection has a problem getting roms from places like Multiupload first go uncorrupted. I solved that problem by downloading the rom using another internet connection at another location.

If it does end up being a case of the new rom zip being corrupt, that might be a way to solve the problem if you've tried downloading it a couple of times with the same result.

ok i found the cause of my problems i had the wrong clockwork manager i think now alls working well!!! now thanx for your help buddy now that ive got that part down patted what is the best custom rom and kernel to put into my phone that gives best performance and good battery life??:confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Really ?? Awesome to hear :)

You're most welcome Cro :D

Unfortunately, asking "what is the best custom rom & kernel to put into my phone that gives the best performance & good battery life ?" is like asking "How long is a piece of string ?"

There is no "right" answer to your question.

You'll need to experiment with different roms/kernels until you find a combo that works well for you/your needs. Besides, that's one of the best bits/all part of the fun of owning a SGS2...The sheer variety of roms/kernels available & how easy it is to flash them ;-)

I recommend you check out the various roms/kernels available on here & try a few out. The threads concerned always have tons of posts from users of these roms/kernels detailing their experiences with same.

As long as you follow the specific flashing instructions for the rom/kernel in question (if they differ from the "standard" instructions which I detailed my variation of above), you can't really go wrong. The SGS2 is very difficult to "hard brick". I thought I'd trashed mine a month or so ago and as I found out, I hadn't even gone close to trashing it. As long as you make a backup in CW you'll be able to easily put the phone back in the state it was previously if you do have any probs whenever you flash a rom or kernel.

So start trying stuff out :D

This thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1166701&page=119 is a good source of info for Aussie SGS2 users as well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Repsys7:
Okay guys I'm new to the whole Galaxy S2 rooting side of things, I came from a simple Desire HD aswell!

I am on -

Model Number - GT-1900T

Android Version - 2.3.5

Baseband Version - 19100TDUKJ1

Kernel Version - 2.6.35.7-1900TDUKJ1-CL687461root@DELL136#2

Build Number - GINGERBREAD.DUKJ1

I am looking to root and install the SensatioN ROM and then the best modem/kernel combination for battery life/performance and stability.

Could someone please tell me how to do this, I read all down the CF-root thread and couldnt find anything on DUKJ1, also will it be easy enough to get back to stock for warranty on this phone?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You obviously didn't look closely enough in the CFRoot thread. KJ1 is there. If you flash any non-stock rom or kernel you will void your warranty.

No two ways about that.

If you need to return it for warranty, you can flash your stock firmware found in this thread,

and buy a jig on eBay to reset the flash counter. This assumes you can get into download mode tho, if you botch it so badly that you can't or if the phone has something like a screen failure, you're toast.

The instructions on how to flash CFRoot are clear, however this thread spells it all out. For specific instructions on how to flash Sensation, refer to the dedicated Sensation thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Repsys7:
Oh my bad I was looking for the whole dukj1 together probably should have realised KJ1 :p.

Thanks for your help mate ill have a go when I get home and post my results! The only thing im worried about is I have already had screen and heat problems on my new Galaxy so if it gets worse after I've rooted that wouldn't be too good.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
No probs ;-)

You're getting heat/screen probs on your SGS2 so soon after you've bought it and you're running stock ?

Get a battery app like Battery Monitor Widget, that has a temperature monitor in it. See exactly how warm it is getting. If that's excessive (say over 40 for any length of time), particularly if you're only using it normally (playing a game that's GPU intensive or doing anything that uses a lot of CPU, particularly if the phone is being charged at the same time, will tend to make it warm, that's to be expected), I'd be taking the phone back & having it replaced before you flash anything.

The last thing you need would be for the phone to cark it a day after you flash a custom with no way of going back to stock :( If you're using the phone normally/light use, you shouldn't really see any excessive heat issues running stock.

Post the temperature details after you've checked it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Repsys7:
Yeah I checked it the other day it got to 51 while charging and on facebook which was crazy but then i OTA updated to 2.3.5 and max temp was 41 and also i noticed my screen isn't as bright as i expected and the whites were more of a light brown yellow.

Someone on this forum suggested it was a kernel problem and that they sometimes get it when flashing a bad kernel so i was thinking maybe just flash it and it would be okay.

I would prefer to get a replacement or whatever but i can't go without my phone for long :p and also i don't know if i have enough evidence for a replacement.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
51 is not normal. Ever. Trust me.

Consistently over 40 is not good either. "Not enough evidence for a replacement" ?? Where'd you buy it ?

Flashing a non-stock kernel might fix the problem, and it might not. Thing is, if it dies completely with non-stock firmware on it, you're pretty much boned, as I've already mentioned.

You'll either be paying for the repair or you'll have a $550 130 odd gram paperweight.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Repsys7:
Yeah I guess your right maybe i should take it back, I will miss it so much though :p.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If you bought it retail, get a replacement ? Easy fixed ;-)

Or you could flash a custom rom/kernel & see how it goes. Your call.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Repsys7:
Yeah I got it from Vodafone on a plan so I think I will.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
There ya go. Easy peasy ;-) Just be insistent & tell em to replace it on the spot rather than send it off to be "fixed". How long ago did you get it ? If it was recent, I can't see why they wouldn't replace it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Repsys7:
Yeah only a few days hopefully they do that would be great!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danalive:
Hi All,

I was wondering if it's appropriate to get your ROM/Kernel/Modem combinations in this thread, especially for Melbourne users? (I'm on Virgin/Optus).

Thanks!

Dan.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattyh77:
There is already a sticky on the Australian Galaxy S2 where you can post this info.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
And please don't ask users for suggestions on the "best" rom/kernel combinations.

There's no such thing.

Nobody has the phone setup exactly the same as you, nobody uses it like you and no two phones come out of the factory exactly the same.

So you're going to have to test roms/kernels out for yourself.

Modems on the other hand, as Matty has said, ask in this thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danalive:
Thanks guys, I should know better. Was just looking for a general consensus since coming from the DHD. Just expected little better battery life but will experiment myself! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasukewa:
I am with Vodafone. Base in Perth, WA. I have used many ROM before. Personally I use the CheckROM as it seems to give me the stability and battery life. I was hoping to move to Hyperdroid but have problems accessing my internal SD and ext. SD so for now CheckROM is good.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hero000:
G,day every one,

Can any one help me finding Vodafone Australia Stock ROM. I need to send my SGSII back to Vodafone. It turns off automatically. I tried several custom ROMs. All in vain. It's been bugging me for last couple of days. I can't say when it will turn off but it just happens. I don't know what's wrong with my device ...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
KJ1 is the most recent firmware available for Voda AU on Kies/Checkfus, available here. Flash it in the PDA section of Odin, get a jig from eBay to reset the flash counter (All Intratech's firmware have old bootloaders so the jig will work), do a factory reset to make doubly sure you don't have anything left on the phone that could tip off whomever repairs it that you've rooted it, return to Voda/Samsung. Done.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hero000:
Thank you very much mate, I got a jig, I purchased before my phone being delivered :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
No worries ;) Good man. The peace of mind having a $3 dollar jig brings is almost priceless. Post here if you have any dramas with the process.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lentheric:
hi

I wouldn't play with modem files as it will effect your network connection.. I found this out when I first install a ROM with modem files and could barely use my phone for about a week and thought it was just Vodaphone having crap reception again.. but then i went back to the standard vodaphone modem and phone works normal.. no more cutouts, disconnections and failed calls.

Kernal and ROM, go for it... but for modem atleast keep a backup.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Modems take all of two minutes to flash in CWM, and if a particular modem doesn't work for you, you simply flash another one or the modem you had originally. These are all easily downloadable from lots of threads on here. This has been the experience of more people than I can count on here. The AU SGS2 thread has plenty of posts from people (including me) who have tested the various modems with different AU networks to see what works & what doesn't.

On the contrary, if you're not getting great reception/data speeds with the modem you're currently using, you'd be mad not to try other modems in light of this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lentheric:
Yes, they are quick and easy to flash but not as easy to get. There are many many dead links in regards to modem files and lots of mixed opinions on them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
They're easy to get if you do a Google search & append XDA to your search parameters rather than use XDA's search. And you can always ask in the AU thread & people will post specific modems from their collections.

But I digress.

Your experience is obviously different to a lot of other peoples. That is, if you're having connection/data issues and you know it's not a carrier problem you start trying different modems. And doing same usually results in resolving these problems or improving data speeds and so on.

And that's fine.

I just don't want other people who are experiencing data/connection issues who have ruled out a possible problem with their carrier's network to think these issues can't be fixed when they can.
[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
Wasn't the actual problem that they found these patent issues and asked Sun to clarify them but Sun took no action and left the issue in the middle?
[Galaxy S II General] avetny:
good point !
[Galaxy S II General] dbchoong:
Google should buy Oracle and start suing everyone else...:D
[Galaxy S II General] ropaisoft:
Larry Ellison wouldn't allow that, he's as stubborn as Jobs.
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
Yawn.

This is the Samsung GS2 General forum on xda-DEVELOPERS :confused:

This should be in another forum.
[Galaxy S II General] avetny:
hahahaha !
[Galaxy S II General] avetny:
this should be OFF topic forum
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
Agreed. Get in touch with a mod and ask them to move it.
[Galaxy S II General] avetny:
thank you ;)
[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
Here's a quick summary of what's going on. The main issue here is that Oracle used to be on the other side but now started agressively attack OS projects since it aqcuired Sun.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/05/google-responds-to-oracles-android-patent-lawsuit-we-break-it/

Google knew, and also admitted to knowing, about the licensing issues but because they had faith in Sun they pushed forward, never ever imagening Oracle would turn on them so quickly.
[Galaxy S II General] liuwenaz:
I am deadly sure that Google will stand out to protect their Android partners.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ericlmccormick:
Ever since I installed the Wifi based TW ROM I have had issues with the wifi stopping. The issue continues with the official rom (with root and deoxed). It is set to be on in software but says disconnected. If I reboot device it works fine again.

Anyone else have this issue? I am very close to going back to stock even though I like the new way of doing notifications.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MirkoTeran:
Same problem here. Simple way to solve it to enable and disable Airplane Mode... But yeah.. its really annoying. So any fix would be very helpful.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] HKeleher:
I've had the same problem recently. Did either of you install the free wifi server app that the Amazon store offered a day or two ago? That's when it seemed to start so I just removed it so see if that fixes my issue... here's hoping!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] millemots:
Same problem here, but it just started the day before yesterday. I've had Touchwiz since a day or two after I bought the device (almost two weeks). Hadn't thought to toggle airplane mode, thanks for that tip. Beats power cycling every morning.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] leadbelly76:
I had similar issue with the stock Galaxy rom. Since the TouchWhiz update however, it has been running extremely well.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] HKeleher:
So after uninstalling the WiFi File Explorer Pro my WiFi has worked fine without any connection issues. Just like before and after TW. I also had a weird issue that wouldn't recognize finger presses on the lockscreen after waking up once every 10 to 20 times.

If you installed this app or something similar it might be worth a shot to remove it.
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
been having problems with my phone and want to exchange it (within the first 15 days) but i have a scuff on the outside case of it, will this matter? I bought it from target, thanks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wiaza100:
This battery case is essentially an extended battery, this power pack for the Samsung Galaxy S II has a 2800mAh capacity.

This power pack fits around your I9100 and extends the talktime. It does make the device physically thicker, but it also acts as a protective casing.

The phone can be used without restriction but adds the extra power too, so you can work away from a fixed power source for longer - perfect for the most demanding of users.

http://www.expansys.com/samsung-extended-battery-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-2800-mah-221025/

I think the picture of the product is wrong

Is there any information about it?

Ewww that's horrible
[Android Software Development] clewgsm:
Hi all,

I wanted just to bring to the attention of all "newbies" like me on the Android application development, that now it's possible to develop really good apps in a very short time.

I think it could be a very good start point for starting developing Android apps.

I learned about this environment by chance, just performing some google searches for starting collecting info on Android development (Eclipse, ADT, etc.etc.), just when I started to be highly bored with Java. :confused:

The good news is that "no Java" language knownledge is required since all the application develepment is done using the BASIC :D

For furter info about this wonderful IDE (with integrated Debugger) you can refer to the following website : www[.]basic4ppc[.]com

Well....what else to say....have a good Android app development ! :)

If you decide, after having used the trial version, to purchase a license you can use the discount code "bhzepr" to have it with 50% off :D

(Important: to use the discount code you have to select the PLIMUS purchase link and insert then it in the proper field)

Using it you can have the Enterprise version at half price.

Have fun !
[Omnia 7 General] bob2k4:
hi all, I've tried to look for a simple answer to this but they all seam to cover unlocking and jail breaking too. All I want to do is flash a uk generic rom to my currently branded t-mobile branded omnia 7. It's already code unlocked. Would anyone be able to advise me how to do it please?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] jrec:
Just wanted to let you know that the Overdrive reader for public library ebooks works on the Nook STR.

Here are some miscellaneous tips:

Some libraries don't offer free ebooks. I live in California, and went to the library in the county south of where I live to get a membership in a library that has free ebooks.

I use Opera Mini with Overdrive on the Nook STR. This is for browsing books and downloading them. Overdrive just reads them.

For the most part I find it better to browse on my laptop using the same account, check out on the laptop, then use Opera Mini to download on the Nook STR.

I've been saving the downloaded files to the Adobe Digital Editions folder on the SD card instead of to the default directory provided by Opera Mini.

You need a free Adobe Digital Editions account to use Overdrive.

Overall, this system is considerably more cumbersome than using the Nook (or Kindle) ecosystem, but I love the free pricing!
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] cymoze:
I'll second this. Overdrive works great.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] dechang:
OverDrive free library books on Windows Phone 7

I just love that the OverDrive woks great on my Windows Phone HD7
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] Googie2149:
Isn't this the Nook forum?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] Renate:
Unless I'm wrong, the OverDrive apps use a different DRM than the native Nook Reader.

I put the OverDrive app on my Nook so that I could download books from my library directly.

It didn't seem that I could open those books in the native Reader.

I find the OverDrive reader to be more disruptive with page turns.

A tangent: I'd like to know exactly how the native Reader does page turns.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] ckim06:
Anyone know why Kindle Fire doesn't have the Overdrive app in it?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] cbay:
Try Aldiko, download using Opera and open using Aldiko. I find it better than Overdrive. The latest Aldiko does not seem to work for me, but an older one from the aldiko website works.

I know theres beem other threads for miui but its such an awesome ui id love to see the 2.3.5 on our phone
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Sixmsj:
+1 Would love to see a port of this, this Rom looks fantastic.:)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
Miui sucks you might as well get an iPhone thats just my opinion
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
If u hate the ui just use a launcher.. miui is super stable.. offers DAYS of battery life.. customization and endless amounts of mods unavailable on any other rom. plus 2.3.5 If you've ever used it you'd know it's an amazing rom

Whitehawk just made a wildly popular version for the g2x.. I wish he'd show us some love ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mackster248:
MIUI is FAR from an iPhone. Sure it looks similar, but that's where the similarities end.

Don't know why people bash MIUI because it's so called an iPhone look-a-like.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] atoore:
The only thing I dont like about miui is its launcher. If you swapped it with adw or any other launcher from the market it going to turn into one of the best roms ever. Its really fast and eye candy. Check this video out

So only 80 somthin mb once installed. That is pretty kool
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Spider_Pig27:
Dude never give up even if people dont like MIUI you never make a rom for anyone in particular.. the work that is done on this comunity is for everyone and its always apreciated.. that said.. if you need help with this try contacting developers in the vibrant forum whom have created MIUI.. or try contacting people in the official MIUI forum i think its called MIUI.us not sure.. but all i know is that someone out there will be able to help you it doesnt necesarly have to be developers in this particular forum.. never give up man you might end of being a recognized developer due tp your hard work.. nothing in life is easy.. i really do wish i could help you but the my best advice would be... talk to other MIUI developers im sure theyll be able to help you.. thank you for your dedication to this forum
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Sixmsj:
Reading that port thread, it seemed like the method is a no go.

Towards the end, everyone gave up.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
:( I wish someone can help out. I would if I actually knew how to develop. Having miui would be freaking awesome
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] atoore:
Port Postponed for now until cm7 release!
