Hello all

My friend is trying to update its Galaxy S2 firmware via Kies.

He connected his device and the Kies backuped the phone, then started to upgrading the FW. But it is stuck for the last 2 hours on 0% :mad:

He is using the University Internet connection, which possibly block some file sharing servers, so maybe thats why it is stuck.

Can he dissconect his SGS2 without facing a nasty brick?

if not, is there a way to terminate the upgrade without bricking the phone? or will he face an eternal life within the university campus? :rolleyes:

Thanx for the help
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
If it's stuck at Download process then no problem removing it. If it is stuck at Installation process then it could get bricked. But I think it is stuck at Download process as the download file itself is pretty big, around 300 MB, so it could be unplugged. And before doing it next time make sure no Internet Security or AV is blocking the process and also try with an open ISP.

Regards.

Well, after rooting my phone, the signal bar seems to osculate a lot. It rarely goes over two bars! But, when I send out a call or text it immediately jumps up to the correct signal strength that should be displayed. Anyone ever have this issue or know how it could be resolved? Your help would be very much appreciated!

Hi guys,

do you know a way or app that will allow me bluetooth in airplane mode?

It is ****ty thing 'cause when I take off and I am permitted to use any device like my mobile I can not use BT in airplane mode, I have BT headset. If I turn off airplane mode then mobile will scan for cellular network and drain my battery.

This is possible in WinMobile. I can not believe that nobody has thought about it.

I have found one app that is not working on DHD and one workaround.

http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/travel_and_local/airplane-mode-wifi-tool_fmc.html

Open your dialer, dial *#*#4636#*#* (4636 = info, btw) this will open at test menu. Navigate to "phone info", scroll down to "turn radio off" and presto, you have gps, wifi and bluetooth, but no data, sms, or voice. I would be careful messing with other settings in this menu, by the way.

Is there any tweak or app?

Anyone dares to install and give a feedback on it?

[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
Hi everybody!

Recently I've spoke with Cotulla and he agreed to try to hack Samsung handsets to create a custom ROM. I think it's a GREAT NEWS! The only one cons - Cotulla don't have any Samsung handset. So, I've decide to collect money to buy used Samsung handsets on ebay and send 'em to Cotulla.

I've checked price for used Samsung handsets on ebay and got about $160-180 for used Focus and $260-270 for Omnia (Cotulla asked for two different handsets - I beleive he knows what he needs!). EMS shipping will costs about $60.

The agenda is:

collect $550 using ChipIn service;

buy two Samsung's handets, Focus and Omnia;

send these phones to Cotulla via EMS or FedEx;

rest will be donated to Cotulla;

All money flow will be open and clear; I'll post a receipt scans and periodically will report progress (ChipIn service is already open and clear).

The backup plan (if we can't collect desired amount during month) is:

if we'll have money for one Focus, I'll send Focus only to Cotulla. If not, collected money will be donated to Cotulla.

I hope the xda already has at least 50-100 generous Samsung handsets owners who want to get a "ROM freedom", so

WBR, SeNS

P.S. Just tried to make a first donation by myself but I can't because ChipIn is wired to my PayPal account :( BTW, I'll donate anyway! :)

P.P.S. Project finished, will publish project's statement later.

*********************************************************************************************

P.P.P.S. Project's financial report:

Total donated: $161.00 (13 contributors)
Cash collected: $151.19 ($10 - PayPal fees)

Samsung Focus: $163.61 (bought on ebay, price with S&H + MA tax)
Shipping to Cotulla: $ 11.39
Grand total: $175.00

(my donation) $ 23.81
[Windows Phone 7 General] kadajawi:
Maybe I'm missing something, but why not ask the seller to send the phone directly to Cotulla? Oh, I see he is from Russia... maybe you can get someone to buy and send a phone from Germany to him? It's about 200 Euro in Germany, brand new. Maybe ebay.de will find you something cheaper even.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cotulla:
Yes, we talked in XDA PM with sensboston about ability for DFT team try to "unlock" Samsung devices for custom ROMs :)

Usually we working only with HTC devices, but why not try new?

Actually, We need few days to do static analysis on Samsung ROMs to finally confirm that DFT take this project. (Maybe Samsung devices are too strongly secured so it can become very hard work :) )
[Windows Phone 7 General] Apollo-Chinese:
something in case you didnt know yet.

just Omnia7 Sales are already above 5,000 at Taobao a month in China.

so large Samsung handsets owners...

Charging Paypal via Alipay we usually used is inconvenient.

ChipIn. More difficult ..for chinese . i think..

from wpxap.com
[Windows Phone 7 General] ByakuyaEXT:
I will donate next month something.

Personally I own a Samsung Omnia 7 and its a pretty beautiful device, but what will happen with Custom Roms?

It would be simple fing awesome.

I owned the Xperia X1 with Custom Roms and the Samsung Omnia itself.

DFT you're making a awesome job for the community.

I'm looking forward for your Samsung roms.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
I'd donate if they it was for CDMA based models (I dont have a Samsung phone a HTC but, a CDMA one). THey don't touch CDMA because they dont have phones and that's with HTC..

Verizon Trophy and the Sprint Arrive is what I am talking about...

Good luck on the quest...maybe someone will start one for us...

Edit: Maybe a few people have some used ones for sale, sending them 2 used ones over 1 new one would be more usefull on testing (incase they brick one in testing), Just a thought to help. As long as the phones work, are in good shape and are not blacklisted it should be fine for testing....Unless they said they only will take new ones for donation.

Just a thought....
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
I'm afraid we collect nothing at this rate :(

C'mon guys, don't be so cheap! I'm expecting xda members not a children/teens only with mom's birthday gift - fancy expensive handset...

As for adults - donating $5 - $10 is nothing, you've spent much more to pay your monthly bill or even usual tips to waiter in restaurant!

Lets appreciate Cotulla's hard work for community, don't be cheap!
[Windows Phone 7 General] dstyl:
:D yeeah and after Samsung only LG is missing ,waiting for DFT LG roms ^^ Are there som plans or have LG users no Luck ?

And Cotulla/DFT you re bringing back the wm feeling with your roms ;)

[Windows Phone 7 General] Ddriver:
Donation (02Y31667V9120770N) sent, even I dont have a Samsung device.

However, the idea is great, since I always happy to have a HSPL and I think

that this other can claim.

It is a very hard working and should be rewarded.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
Thanks for everybody who's already donated!

Actually, it's not a my original idea: we collected money same way for Sony Reader hack on http://www.the-ebook.org and on the http://www.mobileread.com/

(with only one difference: we collected half of the total goal at the first day ;) )

Pushing up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
Up. C'mon guys, we need another $100 - at least for one Focus for Cotulla! :cool:
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
Up again. Let's collect money at least for one Samsung Focus (will cost about $200 with shipping to Cotulla), developer can't do a hack without real hardware. Please, donate!

P.S. Sorry, guys, for reposting, but forum moderators are ignoring my requests to pin this topic to the top for a month :( Also it moved here, to "General" but seems like people here don't know Cotulla (and didn't appreciate his outstanding job!) and not interested in custom ROM's :( Most topics about how good/bad WP7 is, complete blah-blah-blah... But (I believe) with custom ROM's WP7 can beat Android/i-fancy-Phone etc.

@alejandroelmej :

So you are going to develop Android for Samsung Devices? Your post sounds like that...
[Windows Phone 7 General] nipungupta7:
lolz

what you want out of your phone

running 3 os, what will you exactly do
[Windows Phone 7 General] contable:
Maybe iOS is possible, too. I would prefer a quad-bootloader, so we could have them all on only one device....:)

Without joking: I think the intension of the OP was to get full unlocked custom (WP7) roms for the Focus/OMNIA 7. Anything else is pure speculation.

For me it doesn´t make sense to port android to a WP7 device and I believe the most WP7 owners don´t want or need it either.
[Windows Phone 7 General] HC_72:
I also think that we don´t need an android port.

I like my WP7 (with all its limitations) because I never wanted a phone which everybody has, that´s boring.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
ok here is a fact:

1) yes it is possible for cotulla to at the possibility to dual boot (this is not in the first release as of my understanding)

but think about this please :

how many omnia7/focus (yes internally they are exactly the same) are there sold ?

30K ? 40K ?

to get android on a samsung someone would need to develop it and that isn't a easy task and with only a few sold phones almost nobody want to develop it.

I think we all need to except that this isn't a "hot" phone to have and that it is almost 100% realistic to say that no one will develop a custom android rom for this phone.

the next thing is this is a thread with only one purpose and that is getting Cotulla a sammy (that he already has now :) )

Might be that patience will be a key,but i´ll have to say,sometimes guys are out of patience becouse they can´t wait longer,i also can say that i recognise the work they´re doing :), while i can´t wait any longer for myself,and i think it might be the fact that you have there some guy´s with htc devices showing you every day what you´re missing , knowing that you yourself can´t do the same:(,that´s also a hard thing to work on for patience,now that they are working on the usb probs i hope they´ll have finished their work soon:rolleyes:

Can Cotulla or mwang or any pf dft-team please make an update?

[Windows Phone 7 General] chaitanya91845:
This is so exciting :D

I hope someone releases a [GUIDE] for installing this ROM, as the procedure would be different from installing stock ROMS on Focus.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jessenic:
Can't wait! :D I have a few questions though, will there be a english-only version of the rainbow rom? I don't want those 22 languages eating my 8GB! And, will I be able to install a finnish language update cab, like I can now with the stock rom?

I hate manually copy-pasting my game saves with Root Tools though, I wish there was an app that zipped all contents of /Applications/Data :P Would help alot!
[Windows Phone 7 General] pLUSpISTOL:

@sensboston:

I have allready donated directly to Cotulla but as promised here another donation: 2B342172VU174342D for supporting (15 bucks).

As I have an OMNIA 7 I would like to see that we collect the whole 550 bucks. So if needed I´m willing to donate another 15 bucks.

Anyway thanks for your efforts.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
Thanks a lot, guys! At least we already covered one Samsung Focus handset for Cotulla (I'll take care about the rest and s&h - will be my part of donation). BTW, will wait for another couple of weeks, may be we'll able to get money for Omnia too.

P.S. He-he, if MS or manufacturers will block "backdoors" (provision xmls) in the upcoming Mango official update, I believe we'll have much-much more donors ;)

So, to those who haven't donated: what are you guys waiting for? The only custom ROM will give you a freedom!
[Windows Phone 7 General] surrender420:
Any discussion of Lg devices?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Honestly? Because I'm not interested in any custom WP7 ROMs. I'm so sick and tired of the whole flashing crap that I was sort of forced to with Windows Mobile and Android and absolutely satisfied with what WP7 currently offers. I don't see any need for me to have custom ROMs on my HD7. But of course, if others really want it, they should donate.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I also take exception to the "Adults donate it's not much your bill is more" when I'm assuming he's an Adult with a job and can buy his own phone?
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
First of all, my post directed to the Samsung owners (I believe we should have much more than 10 Samsung owners here).

I agree with you (2 dkp1977) about custom ROM mess but with MS limitation seems like the custom ROM's - a "must have". What you will do if MS or manufacturers disable a provxml back door? Will stay with MS limits 3/10 sideload apps, no native code etc. ? May be it's good for you but absolutely not good for me.

Second one: why do you think he should buy own handset for his own money for community needs??? Don't get your logic. He's doing that for fun (and for community of course), and he spent a lot of time to research and hack stuff (trust me - market price for that kind of work is very expensive!) Why he should additionally spend own money for others?..

Also, spending $500 just for fun may be too expensive and not affordable for one person (for example you have a family etc.) but donating $5-$10 is absolutely OK (even for teen ;) ).
[Windows Phone 7 General] VonCrisp:
I think a huge proportion of the community will agree with you on this one.

We are not looking for a way to have a custom ROM. We are instead looking for a way to "unlock/enable/jailbreak" the current versions so that we can obtain further accessibility in the STOCK roms.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
you are forgetting one thing, microsoft is a master in locking down systems (os)

look at there os , xp was the last one that was really cracked to run without serial.

vista and win 7 can only be run without a key if you mod your bios or install a loader (and if they want they can easily find loaders)

so custom roms could be the only way to run homebrew and sideload.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
+1. It's exactly my point. I do have 2 developer accounts; also all my handsets are "jailbreaked" but I still want a custom ROM. BTW, custom ROM's are more important for developers (during development process I'm testing a lot of examples etc.) and, unfortunately, for people who used sideloaded "warez" apps. Of course regular law-abiding users are not interested so much - they do exactly what "big brother" tells 'em ;)

P.S. ceesheim, is any chance to pin this thread on top for couple of weeks?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
I think that we (xda) normally don't pin "collecting" threads but I will ask the mod that runs this forum.

I will let you know in pm what the answer will be.

for the time being just post on this thread :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
I pay me yearly fee for my official developer account so I can at least sideload the stuff I make. ;) Like I already said, I'm absolutely satisfied with what Windows Phone offers. There may be two or three features on my wish list, but they're not too important to me, so I can definitely live without them.

I did not say having the possibility to apply custom ROMs ain't good. It's just that I won't need it, which is the reason why I'm not gonna donate. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] 15131331231:
it looks great!if possible,I will help you collecting money in China.O7 is the most popular device here.if Cotulla agree to start Omina7's development and hacking,it will strength confidence to make the donate.
[Windows Phone 7 General] panlane:
why not o7 instead..
[Windows Phone 7 General] n1mr0dwp7:
yeah the Omnia is a bit popular I think
[Windows Phone 7 General] contable:
Where are the OMNIA 7 donators ?

This thread is very important because besides Cotulla (DFT) there are not so many people who can make custom roms possible for us....

So far 12 donators (+ OP sensboston), this is a bad joke.:(

I think there are a lot of OMNIA 7 and Focus owners around here, so please support this project (all kind of donations are welcome: 1$, 2$, 5$, 10$,15$, 20$).

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] denominator77:
I've donated $30 in the first day, just didn't anounced that. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] contable:
I saw the donation because I check this thread every day but I didn´t know who has donated...

Thanks to you and all users who have donated so far.:)
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I don't get YOUR logic. Why do you think we should feel entitled to fund his phone purchases when he does this "for fun" as a "hobby." Don't care how much he spends researching and hacking.

And EXACTLY...

Why should we spend our own additional money for others (i.e. him).

Not donating, I just thought it was a B.S. thing to suggest.

I'm buying my dog a toy with that cash.

Great attitude, BTW. Noted for future reference :P

To others who may read this... I have no issue helping people. I have issue with the way some people make it seem like it's some sort of obligation. The only person responsible for buying cotulla's TWO phones, is cotulla hmself.

$10 is 15% of my cell phone bill.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
You don't need to apologize or explain something, this thread is not for you. Just stay with your dog (silently) :rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
Stay ontopic please.

ok let me say this one time nicely.

This thread is here for the people who want/can donate to cotulla (his hobby is hack the living dead out of HTC phones, and nobody can't expect him to buy phones that isn't his game (he don't like samsung :D ) )

he is willing to hack it for the samsung owners not for him self (and he is capable of hacking that phone :D )

STAY ON TOPIC

so post your donation and noting else.

Greetings Cees.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
One more bump.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hidroela:
to the OP

why not post a link in the Samsung Focus Forum pointing to this one

perhaps we find donators over there that do not visit this forum
