This fixed mine! Nice find, Thanks!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimichunga:
Hell ya, just fixed it with the 3.66 update.

Had to reboot my Atrix for it to take effect.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rAFTA!:
I'm rooted on like 1.8.3 I believe. Maybe 2.2, but definitely not gingerbread. Bootloader is not unlocked.

Can I simply flash this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138204 - the 2.3.4 version, and be rooted and ready to install a ROM while being on gingerbread?

Thanks for your help.:D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swiftks:
So says the OP... I'd read a few pages first though, just to make sure.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrovice:
I'd say this (and I say it with the most benevolent intentions):

1) You don't know that 1.83 is in fact 2.2 (froyo). 1.83 just refers to AT&T's software release, not the current android version on your phone. This leads to...

2) Flashing that will get you 90% of the way there, but I fear it won't get you that last 10%, which is the dealbreaker- ROOT. This is because I'm afraid you don't quite grasp ADB...but no matter, I'm here to help.

3) What I would do is flash the 2.3.4 SBF with the BL UL (bootloader unlock)...(all of this found in the thread you linked), but then I'd go here. It's a really simple automated process that works through the command prompt/ADB and, with it, it's very quick and easy to attain root without all the manual ADB commands. On top of that, it's very useful for many other things besides just obtaining root.

Also, you might want to just look at this thread to see if there's anything useful, helpful, or downright lifesaving. And you can thank responder #1 for that.

I hope you didn't take this in the wrong way (frankly, me being a ****). I just want you to know the proper terminology, and not FUBAR your phone.

Always better to ask (though maybe search, first) than to go ahead and brick your device and then be a screaming all about the forums begging for help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boody1993:
Hey guys I got some questions:)

1st, I bought my gs2 from kuwait but i live in egypt, i did something i read somewhere to change location from xgs to egy.Should I switch to xgs again or is it okay?

2nd, My pda is:JPKF3, phone is:XXKF1, CSC is:OJPKF2.Is this a good software or JPKG5 is better? Iam not sure what's the difference, from what i read on here JPKG5 had an earlier version while mine is just 1 but mine says 2.3.3 and JPKG5 says it too so iam confused:S

3rd,my discharge rate when iam idle now is like 10% an hour or something but when i first had it, it was 100% before i go sleep, 9hours later it's 98%:S

is it cuz i have alot of apps or what?cuz i downloaded most of gameloft hd games and alot others from market.

oh and i searched forums and google couldn't find answers, maybe i didn't search well enough but I don't know what to write exacly,sorry!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boody1993:
Well rooting looks confusing, iam going to wait till 2.3.4 is available if JPKG version is available then rooting itis:)

Thanks, hopefully any 1 with some feedback on the other questions.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
It is easy to do - even I can do it.

Yes it does look confusing, but that is just because the author took time to write out ever step so idiots like me could do it without problems.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boody1993:
Well flashing firmware looks easy but iam confused about rooting, i just want stock kernals.In the official guide that intratech made,he wrote that u can use either ChainFire's or Odia's insecure kernels but can't i just root the stock 1 right away?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
The instructions I used were * HERE *

I used ODIN 1.85 - * HERE * - which I suppose would have made little or no difference.

The insecure kernels I got from * HERE * - again, which I suppose would have made little or no difference.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boody1993:

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Fernanigans:
I had one of the early apk for swype for the aria but it's been crashing on me lately. Does anybody know where I can find the latest swype?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] DroidRunner:
Sign up at swypes website for their releases.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] DanGeorges:
I don't know about how everyone else feels, but I cannot use the swiping feature of Swype on the Aria. It's just too small for me to see what letter I'm covering up with my finger.

Also - when I use my left hand to "swype" and need to enter letters normally my right hand types, I slow down considerably.

In short - for me, Swype fails because of the way I typically type.

I can see this working better for larger screen devices or for people who have always used just one hand to type. But I find swyping very slow.

Just wondering how you all get around it (maybe use in landscape mode?)...
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Asovse1:
I have a Legend, (very, very, very similar in specs to the Aria), and I find Swyping in portrait works like a charm. Sure, it's a bit slow, but what can a little overclock not fix ;-)

I also find that Swyping in landscape is very inaccurate for me, probably because the prediction engines are adjusted for landscape use.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] kazerak2:
I have gotten so used to swype that's all I can use now. Get the "real" swype's from their website, not the fake pirated ones.

I have seen people swype in landscape and that just seems odd to me. swype was made to be fast turning you phone over every time to type is not fast, and I know a guy that has an htc evo and swypes in landscape? the keys are in different spots in landscape, so if your used to portrait you will have a hard time swpying.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] tommyguns818:
So I just downloaded the latest Swype and I have to say its fun, quick, and pretty accurate. I just wish it had more options like getting rid of voice and Swype help button to make the space bar bigger. also it would be cool if you had more customizing options. Other than that its definitely worth trying out.

Swype.....not skype. Duh
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] CallMeAria:
I stopped using Swype for smart keyboard pro a few months ago but went ahead and gave the new Swype a try and all I can say is WOW! It has improved so much. Its 100 times more accurate than the previous versions.

To Dan: it takes a little getting used to but after a while it becomes muscle memory with the

letter placement to where you don't need to see the letters your finger is blocking and your finger just knows where to go. Until you can Swype without thinking about where the next letter is it will never be as fast as the two thumb approach. Even then, using two thumbs might still be faster. But for 'one handed' typing you really can't beat Swyping once you're used to it. I also highly recommend the tutorials on their website. Might sound silly but after using the tutorials my Swyping speed improved very noticeably. There's a lot of neat little tricks you might not otherwise ever know existed on the Swype keyboard.

[Nexus S General] intheb0x:
When watching the hands on video for the new samsung galaxy s 2 epic touch video on phonedog, he was scrolling through the phone and showed/voice acknowledged the visual voicemail app on this phone,

i believe its at gingerbread 2.3.4.

so this is GREAT news for us nexus members who thought that we were left out cold with the visual voicemail not being developed anymore for gingerbread since the sprint/gvoice thing...

so all we need now is a system dump so we can pull that voicemail apk!!

what does everyone thinK about this?
[Nexus S General] cdw9800:
i think it sounds good and hopefully it works i like google voice but i feel it causes serious battery drain not to mention taking over my text id be wine with a g voice lite
[Nexus S General] ellesshoo:
Not really sure how google voice isn't visual voicemail... I don't use google voice for calls or text but when someone calls my cell # and I don't answer they leave a message and I'm instantly notified by google voice. Not only can I visually manage my voicemail but it also transcribed the message to text for me. Not sure how this isn't "visual voicemail ". It's certainly more "visual " than the visual voicemail on my old iphone.
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Sprint has an app called "Visual Voicemail" I think that's what he's referring to.
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
Were it records the message and allows you to play it without calling your actual voicemail.
[Nexus S General] MaxCarnage:
I'm very happy with Google Voice; I have no desire/need for Sprint's voicemail app. Hope for the sake of those that want it though that this pans out for you.
[Nexus S General] ellesshoo:
You don't have to call google voice.
[Nexus S General] vansmack:
I don't believe the issue is only the lack of a GB app.

If I remember correctly, the Nexus series has the voicemail routed through a different server than the typical Sprint VM server, which is required for Sprint's visual voicemail to work. I hope I'm wrong for your sake, but I have a pretty good recollection of Sprint saying visual VM would not be on the Nexus.
[Nexus S General] urushiol:
i don't know how google voice works for others, but i have never had much luck with it. Signal is not too good around where i live, about 30% 3G, 60% 1x, and 10 % roaming. Unless im in the best of 3g spots i have one hell of a time getting the messages to play. It will start playing, then stop after 2 seconds. after a few minutes i get fed up and just call my google voice number and listen to them message that way.

I had a hero and then an evo before, both with sprint VVM, they always worked great. Its seems like the sprint VVM app actually downloads the message and the google voice app tries to stream the message, if I lived in a area with perfect 3g everywhere, i wouldn't care because I wouldn't notice this, but here... lol forget it!

[Epic 4G General] NissanNick:
I am planing on getting a epic 4g tourch but wanted to know if anyone knew what it would cost straight up at a sprint store? My renewal is not up until next year. Also does anyone know if i but the phone say off of bestbuy or eBay if the insurance i carry with sprint will cover the new phone? I dont know if it will being as i did not buy it from sprint. Thanks!

P.S. does anybody but me think 4.5inc is just to big for a phone.... Wish it was like 4inc.
[Epic 4G General] Zor Omega:
My guess would be 599.99 off contract. For that kind of dough,you'd be better off doing an early termination, paying that and getting an new line with an on contract phone. ;)

Not sure about the insurance though. Asurion is a seperate company they insure phones from all carriers.

No I think 4.5 inch is sweet, id like to see a 5 inch!

This is just my opinion here, but if your a year off from getting an upgrade I would wait. The epic 4g is going to be just fine for a long while yet. I've played with a freinds evo 3d and an international gsII. While they're cool, overall I was not impressed. I didn't see a signifigant increase in performance over this the epic 4g, and in some cases it seemed worse. I wuld wait for the 2nd gen of dual core phones or even until quad core....but that's just my 2cents. Good luck in whatever you decide, I'm sure it'll be an awsome phone.

[Epic 4G General] goblue30093:
i was trying to figure out the best options for upgrade as well. I have the best buy insurance so maybe my epic will take a tumble and then i can sell a brand new epic online and use that cash to buy a SGS2. However I was a little disappointed in the video i saw on engadget. They showed an epic touch next to the original SGS on att, they appeared to be the same thickness. Wasn't the big thing suppose to be the incredible thinness of the phone? hmmm :(
[Epic 4G General] pjy9394:
That's because they added in WiMax. So i would rather have the phone be 1mm thicker and have wimax.

The epic touch is gonna be sprint's thinnest phone anyway.
[Epic 4G General] viper786:
Insurance will cover your phone regardless of where you got it from. I bought my epic from Craigs List and it was covered.

[Epic 4G General] Becoming:
When I just talked to Sprint this week, everyone said contract buyouts have been completely removed from their systems. So no regular rep can do that even if they wanted to.

Just a heads up.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
You can definitely buy your phone off contract.

Itsjust not as easy as GSM where all yu do is connect your sim card and you're good to go

You have to call sprint after you buy it and get it activated with all the codes on the sticker and then it'll be tied to your account.

It also doesn't effect upgrade eligibility. So if you buy off contract and you're due for an upgrade, you can upgrade, keep the new phone in the box and just use your gsii as your main and sell the upgrade boxsealed to recoup a few hunneds

Wondering if anyone has picked up a nice anti-glare protector? Thinking of ordering the ones from E-Cell on eBay, but the previous protectors I got from them were not too impressive. One came stained brown, and the one I applied made it hard to slide smoothly across screen. Wasn't a perfect fit and speaker / Windows button cutouts looked pretty shoddy, but at least it gave full coverage (most eBay protectors have huge cutouts at top / bottom).

hey guys i need help.

to update with lg updater it has to be with windows pc?

i didnt have the ota cause i've been rooted but i really need to update my baseband i am on mac. i used to have cracked windows but ever since i update to lion ox i lost it.

oh and is there a driver for this phone and a way to flash CWM with a mac?

oh another thing i saw on a threat long ago about a dialer code for the ota but cant find it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thanasisc4:
Haven't found anything in the way of mac drivers, sorry.

Your best bet is to borrow a friend's xp pc, or visit their house or something.

It shouldn't take you more than half hour to install the update and then flash CWM anyway so it doesn't even have to be a long visit.

Are you stock right now? Haven't been able to install CWM etc...?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
No I'm not stuck. Its just I never updated my phone with the official gb

And need to update with it so I can update the baseband.

That's all.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thanasisc4:
Yeah man I definitely recommend the updated baseband my GPS is awesome ever since I updated.

Definitely get yourself to a WinXP machine though cuz the updater tool seems to be picky with that.

Plus you don't even need to unroot or revert to stock recovery either. Matter fact I was running Eagle's Blood Froyo with CWM when I updated mine and it worked without a hitch took about 20 mins.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
Cool. Do you have to flash recovery again after the update?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jbdaka6445:
question

now gingerbread 2.3.3 is an operating system correct?

or is it also considered a rom?

and are basebands different for each rom?

and what exactly is sdk?

i apologize if these questions are placed in wrong section but i been reading the thread and am very new and would like to know alot more.

also i just got new g2x today and have installed the clorkwork recovery now there

is a said method to install rom with no sd card as new phones dont have one.

Amon_RA recover with adb

is it recomended and as currently with clockwork installed am i techincally rooted??
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny13oi:
Hey guys, it seems as though things are a bit more complicated in the Tablet world. My Android phones I rooted right away and put CWR on right away however it seems as though the latest and greatest Android updates from Asus won't work if you do so. Are there available stock roms that are released that you can flash straight to the device while keeping CWR?

Oh the Galaxy S which I use, many people released rooted stock roms where you can flash if you so choose. I haven't seen any CWR flashable stock Android 3.2 roms for the Transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Absolutely not, based on your question.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randolphslim:
You should only root if you are not satisfied with stock roms or wish to run apps that require root (superuser permissions) - and of course are willing to assume the possibility of voiding your warranty or damaging your device. If you really want the flexibility and are willing to assume the risk, then, there are rooted stock roms available. Please check the developers forum for possible roms.

Good luck with whatever you decide.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckuke4:
If you want to root, for whatever reason, and just keep stock there is a zip file that is released in this forum to do updates with CWR. I rooted my tf just so I could easily change my speaker settings and do backups. Just put the zip on your sd card and boot into recovery and the latest updates are applied, nice and easy. The zip update was out the day before my tf downloaded it so they come out pretty quick.

The zip is in this thread...

Cheers.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftLegend:
Rooting is more of a personal question. There's no definite reason to root unless you want to improve something. By stock roms I'm assuming you mean official updates from Asus, so the answer is no.

There are 3 different roms for the Transformer that are CWR flashable...I have no idea where you are looking.

My friend has a NS4G or better yet had a NS4G. Somehow his wife accidentally ran it over in their driveway.

We know the Sprint Techs will not work on the phone and will ask if he has insurance, which he does. So will they send the phone to Asurion and order another one for him?

How would that work?
