Asking for this kinda password?? ::

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1215590

if yes, your options:

- you can avoid this screen, if you can crash the dialer app? with home button spam? (search for more details)

- you can also can avoid the password screen by flashing a CUSTOM rom + remove your sim card, by going through the first startup google wizard (DO NOT FLASH A STOCK ROM, else you end up with worst-case scenario) don't let to phone to lock itself, because the password screen gonna pop up again. You can turn it off inside: Settings -> Location & security -> Select device administrators

-WCS if you have the exact same problem like i do (on the video) you need to type a password (something) over and over, the phone will warn you that if you miss your password once more, it will format your internal sdcard (you need to do this twice) after this the phone will reset itself.

hey guys!

i didn't know where to post this, mods please move it to the appropriate forum.

NOW FOR THE GOOD PART,

GUIDE: HOW TO SET /SYSTEM TO RW

this question has been asked a lot, and i felt a need to post a guide: the easiest method is to use root explorer and on the top right corner is a button saying either ro, or rw. ro means read-only, and rw means read-write.

now some of you may be asking: so what's the point of this thread? i can already set /system to rw in root explorer. and yes, that is true (and much easier than this way), but what if for some reason root explorer refuses to set the /system to rw when you really need to edit that one file? or what if you're in adb, and can't access root explorer? that has happened to me before, and maybe some of you. so instead of panicking and freaking out, try this method:

1) download terminal emulator from market (anyone will work)

2) open and type "su" (NO QUOTES) to make sure you have root access. (if you don't know what root is, then don't read this, it's a waste of time)

3) to remount /system to rw, type EXACTLY: mount -o remount rw /system (enter)

so it should look like this:

su
mount -o remount rw /system

this method does work on every android phone, and works in terminal emulator as well as in adb

in adb just do:

adb shell
su
mount -o remount rw /system

as always, i am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
[myTouch 4G General] h22aboi:
also, you can download the following apps (example) that show you to set r/w access to system for the typing challenged...

Well, down here we never buy phones from T-Mobile as they use different bands for WCDMA, normally AT&T is the way to go, so It's quite logical that the same thing happens the other way, a AT&T phone should not be able to connect to WCDMA channels on T-Mobile. You should only get Edge...

[Galaxy S II General] session_monster:
Hi everyone,

I just got my SGS2 from Bell today and I haven't been able to download any applications using my WiFi connection at home (every app stalls at "Downloading.." with the green striped bar). I can use the browser, and browse through the Market with no problems.

I've also noticed that the YouTube app does not stream any videos over WiFi.

If I switch to HSPA, both of these issues go away.

I've googled around for several hours and tried clearing cache/data of almost every app I can think of. I've disabled my encryption on my wireless router and restarted it. I've done two hard resets and tried using a different Google Account log in. The problem still persists.

Is there anything else I can do? Could it be a specific Router+SGS2 issue? I have my old HTC Desire sitting next to my SGS2 and it's downloading apps over WiFi like a champ.

Thanks for any help in advance!

EDIT: The problem has been fixed. For the record:

I downgraded my DIR-625 firmware from version 1.20 to 1.09. This actually resolved some other outstanding bugs I had and now I can finally fully enjoy my SGS2 at home.

Thanks for everyone's help.
[Galaxy S II General] TECK:
Volume Up + Home + Power > Wipe cache > Wipe data

Start from scratch and make sure you add a Wifi and Google account at startup.
[Galaxy S II General] session_monster:
Thanks. Just tried that, still the same issue. On first boot up, I don't get asked for a WiFi connection however (I add it manually after the initial walk through is done).

EDIT: So I just tried the wipe data/cache/factory reset with the SIM taken out. It asked me to connect to a WiFi on boot up, and restored several applications with no problems. However, the same thing is still happening - can't download anything on the market :(.
[Galaxy S II General] rickytenzer:
I'm going through the EXACT same issue now. It's probably your router. Try it on a different wireless AP. You'll see ;-)

1) Which router are you using?

2) Do you have another Android device to test with?

3) What's your ISP?
[Galaxy S II General] session_monster:
So I just tried using the WiFi here at work and everything works! Must be my router then...

1. Dlink Di-625

2. Yes. My old HTC Desire has no problems with the WiFi.

3. Videotron

I'll try doing a hard reset on the router I guess (pressing the button).. Any idea what could be the issue specifically? It works completely fine for all my other devices..2 laptops, iPad, and my old HTC Desire.
[Galaxy S II General] sammael1069:
Try signing into talk if already signed in log out and back in
[Galaxy S II General] rickytenzer:
Weird that it works on your Desire. My Nexus One didn't work either.

I have an ASUS RT-N12. No idea what the issue is. However, I did start noticing the issue after I tried to update Busybox. You didn't happen to try to update that did you?

I also have Videotron. I thought it may have been the ISP as I read somewhere a similar issue that ended up being the ISP's fault, but it worked at my dad's who also has Videotron.

Are you running DD-WRT on your router?
[Galaxy S II General] TECK:
Talking about DD-WRT, I have a 2 routers setup. First is a Netgear ProSafe VPN Firewall SRXN3205 broadcasting Canadian IP's and the second is a Cisco E4200 DD-WRT broadcasting US IP's. I noticed something interesting with the Cisco model. On my Tab 10.1 tablet I get both band signals 2.5/5Ggz as wireless while on the phone I only get the 2.5Ghz one. I'm running on XXKG3 2.3.4 firmware, the stock firmware was able to detect both bandwidths.

I'm going to root my phone in order to use MarketAccess or MarketEnabler and change the country to US, so I get all the missing apps.
[Galaxy S II General] session_monster:
I got home and did a hard reset on the router, issue still exists :(. I'm assuming it must be something to do with the router itself (since everything worked on a different WiFi). Unfortunately DD-WRT doesn't support the model I have (DIR-625).

I'm going to try and root it and maybe load a different kernel to see if that helps.
[Galaxy S II General] sammael1069:
What version of market are you using?
[Galaxy S II General] session_monster:
2.3.6

Doesn't seem to be a market-only thing though. YouTube also doesn't stream videos.
[Galaxy S II General] sammael1069:
Can you sign into talk?
[Galaxy S II General] session_monster:
Yepp. Sorry, forgot to mention I did try signing in/out of Talk multiple times (which works fine on WiFi).
[Galaxy S II General] sammael1069:
what ver. of market is the desire on and the sgs2 is os ver.2.3.4? or 2.3.6?

while the download is in progress, back out go into talk, sign out, then sign back in then go back to market dl should start.

I though i was crazy.

I have the KH3 firmware. With a cisco E4200 router running DDWRT. on the same isp as you (videotron).

Could it be the isp????

Any solution?
[Galaxy S II General] rickytenzer:
Weird. Like I said though, I tried it at my dad's who also has Videotron and it worked fine.

Kernel/ROM doesn't change a thing. It's probably the router. Like I said, tried it on my Nexus One and it didn't work.

I have a Cisco E4200 DD-WRT also, no issues to stream anything on my XXKG3 phone. I'm with Velcom.

[Galaxy S II General] rickytenzer:
Gentlemen, we have confirmation! My new RT-N16 works fine. I already installed DD-WRT and WiFi Market downloads/Youtube videos are working perfectly.

:D
[Galaxy S II General] session_monster:
Oh man, that's awesome news! Thanks for the updates, hope I experience the same :)
[Galaxy S II General] session_monster:
Alright, well I just want to let anyone know that I fixed my problem! (and now possibly have a router to return).

I downgraded my DIR-625 firmware from version 1.20 to 1.09. This actually resolved some other outstanding bugs I had and now I can finally fully enjoy my SGS2 at home.

Thanks for everyone's help.
[Galaxy S II General] TECK:
So it was the router. :)
[Galaxy S II General] rickytenzer:
Glad to hear!

In the end, yes. :P

But I still find the timing of it all to be extremely suspicious...
[Galaxy S II General] session_monster:
What do you mean?
[Galaxy S II General] rickytenzer:
I meant in relation to a thread I posted in the Q&A section. I noticed this issue after I tried to update Busybox and having a corrupt installation.
[Galaxy S II General] x-cimo:
For me my E4200 with DDWRT fail over 2.4ghz, but market works fine over 5ghz.

This is really weird, cause all other traffic works over the 2.4.....
[Galaxy S II General] TECK:
What is really weird is: On the old UGKG2 firmware I was able to see both my 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks, while on the XXKG3 I can only see the 2.4Ghz one. Don't ask me why... Maybe I was dreaming and I'm confusing it with the tablet setup.

I have now the WL0 set to Mixed and the WL1 to 5Ghz only. How do you have yours setup? Can you try to set WL1 to 5Ghz only? I'm curious if you see it on your mobile, under Wifi Networks. On my Tab tablet I see both WL0 and WL1 available. I have a feeling that the XXKG3 firmware does not like something.

ok in clockwordmod you can't connect ADB, but in the eternal logo screen that happened after the stupid app I could connect adb, deleted the apk that was causing the infinite boot and fixed the problem.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] oscarthegrouch:
This topic is simple. Share any apps you can think of that are good but aren't available in the regular market (anymore). I'm not necessarily looking for apks, but more like where they can be found. For example, slideme is a kind of market but isn't affiliated with google. Many apps that were on the regular market went there when google pulled them from the regular market. Don't post paid for apps or the market like program that has free to download paid apps, I'm not interested in that. A few that I can think of are music junk, better keyboard, and the "oid" old school console emulators (I forgot the guy's nickname).

In the past, someone got uptight when posting links to apps that were not paid programs but also couldn't be found, at the time, in the regular market. I don't know what to say or suggest about that. It's obvious that I'm NOT talking about warez, okay?! I'm not talking about stuff like swype either. Even though it's not a paid app, the people who police the forum will have a fit even if you talk about where it could be found. I'm not, for the umpteenth time, talking about shady stuff. I'm talking about apps that got the boot on google's official market, for whatever reason, but are on a third party market now for download (free and paid versions). My purpose is just to remind, to those who may have forgotten about cool programs, or people that haven't been in the android scene for very long. I forgot where I saw something similar to this but the responses from other members came up with quite a lot of very cool or useful or essential tools and apps for android. People were like, "oh yeah, I remember that app," or were pleasantly surprised when someone suggested something that was a good find but some people didn't know it existed.

I made my couple of suggestions earlier in this post, so go ahead and suggest away!

[HTC EVO 3D] :
I need to either convert a flashable .zip to a boot.img or find out how to flash a .zip kernel from fastboot :rolleyes: I kinda softbricked my phone:D
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
kernel flashing has essentially three parts on the HTC EVO 3D.

1) the kernel binary, zImage file

2) the ramdisk

3) the kernel modules/system files (custom kernels with etc.d, etc.)

custom and stock kernels are distributing in either one of two packages:

1) boot.img = zImage + ramdisk

2) anykernel = zImage + files to extract current ramdisk and merge with zImage before flashing (dump_image, unpackbootimg, createnewbootimg, etc)

flashing a kernel through fastboot will work to load the kernel and ramdisk but will not allow the system files (modules for wifi and wimax, at minimum) to be loaded. you will have to load these files after you get the device booted.

a flashable .zip for kernels will either containg the actual boot.img as mentioned above in #1 or it will contain the zImage, mentioned above in #2.

if the flashable .zip is distributed as method #2 - anykernel - you can merge a ramdisk manually to create the boot.img. googling the terms, htc boot.img ramdisk should give a few guides on the process.

in my opinion, best method if you have "soft bricked", is to reload the boot/system partitions through a custom recovery.

hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Its number 2 LOL anyway to flash or convert it to a flashable .img?
