[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] b4d455b345t:
Hey guys. I've been an Android & XDA user for a while now, so this question shouldn't be about a nooby-sitiuation.

My friend bought an AT&T Samsung Galaxy SII (SGH-i777) this week. I've been trying to flash CM7 ever since. I got the rooting done, the properly recovery (with no signature / "abort" problems)

The rom seems to keep bricking the phone. Its simply unflashable. I seen tons of people on XDA who got it to work, with barely any serious problems. I troubleshooted the problem myself, and its simply just the CM7 roms. I would do a full wipe, and then install the rom like I would on my other Android phones, and the installation is successful. When it boots, it gets stuck on the Galaxy SII boot screen (not the splash/boot animation screen) and it would stay on it with a yellow warning triangle on the bottom.

I tried flashing other roms, like Cognition X2, and they worked. Its just CM7 on this phone... which is odd because CM7 is usually stable (nightlies aside.) Especially since the 7.1 stable version was recently released. Anyone can help me get the rom up and going? Would be highly appreciated.

did you try to wipe dalvick cashe as well when you wiped data?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
I just flashed it tonight myself and all I did was reboot into CWM and did a Wipe data/factory reset and then Wipe cache partition. After doing that, I simply flashed the cm7 zip file that was loaded on my internal sd. Rebooted and no problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
I didn't have ANH ISSUES installing it but I know I read that some.people bad to flash it twice initially. So flash it, then when it goes back to the recovery screen flash it a second time. I also remember users on the international SGS2 bad to do the same thing. Most have no issues but I think they found that it depends on what you used to root your phone (on the SGS2 internationals) and I THINK some had to do the same here. Try it and if it works just hit the thanks button.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mfpearson:
if you flash it and get stuck in a bootloop, just pull the battery, and 3-finger back into recovery to flash the rom again.

keep doing this until you get it up and running - took me a few times, including a couple of battery pulls.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] b4d455b345t:
How do you boot into recovery? I know On the SGH-i777 you have to hold the Vol down+back+power to get to the Download mode, but I tried everything to get to the recovery itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] b4d455b345t:
Yes. I've flashed many roms before, this seems to be the only one I had ever seen a problem with.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] abacon15:
Word.

Edit: To boot into recovery vol up+vol down+power
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] talkingcheese56:
Had the same problem. Read somewhere to install the ROM twice in a row in CWM without rebooting inbetween. Worked like a charm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] b4d455b345t:
Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll try this in the morning once I get my hands on the phone again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
Saw this type of behaviour on occasion with cm7 on my aria. Sometimes caused by a bad download of the rom. Did you verify md5s ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jaxf250:
Don't forget to do a master data clear /reset before trying to boot the new CM7 rom for the first time - clear out the old stuff. Works perfectly here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] squigge:
I'm having the same issue. I'm getting signature errors when trying to flashCM7.1 stable. I've downloaded it two times now with the same problem. My question is, I'm trying to flash from on the phone itself, storing the zip in the download dir on the phone as I don't have an sd card. Will this even work? I've tried looking around and all I can find is flashing from an sd card. I can get one, I just haven't yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
That's the way I did it. Put the update in the same folder on the internal SD card. I can't even access my external SD card from CWM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] squigge:
Hmm, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong then. I did a factory reset, and wiped the cache and get the same thing. I know it wiped because now I have nothing setup on the phone when I boot normally. Suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] id10terrordfw:
Quit downloading the CM7 builds for the International Galaxy S II. They will NOT work. That is why it fails. Look for the Galaxys2ATT build.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] squigge:
I got the build by going to the cm7 website, looking by device, finding the galaxy s 2 and grabbing the stable one. So perhaps that is the incorrect one and I'll look closer for one that has att in it, whenever the site isn't going up and down. They seem to be having issues today.

It was the right version. Just needed to double-flash (as stated in previous comments.)

I know that you have to cook it into a rom but I was wondering if there was a way to install it. I know it requires system files or something so the API itself won't do it. Or am I wrong?

[Motorola Droid X2] adrianblack:
When I started using my Droid X2 I notice I could not play most of my MP4 files with hardware decoding. (I use MX Video Player which clearly shows you if it is hardware decode.) Using software, the phone is not fast enough to play back 720p or higher.... Even the Droid X had better hardware support as it could play back most of my 480p MP4 files in hardware.

I know the DX2 can play back its own 720p/30fps video files flawlessly and in hardware, so there had to be something going on.

So I dug into what's going on and it turns out the Tegra 2 has a pretty bad video decoder in it. (Thanks for nothing NVidia......) Even the old Hummingbird single core chip in the Galaxy S can do much better!

What I have found is on our phone we can only playback video using the Baseline profile. This is the worst quality profile and pretty much everything out there uses High Profile. (And sometimes Main profile.) Baseline is the easiest to encode and decode -- but really it's not used much anymore because of how inefficient it is with bitrate. (Meaning lower quality in comparison)

As a test I converted some 1080p content to various profiles to test it out ... and then did it again at 720p and then 540p. (The native phone resolution.)

All I could get to play on my phone in hardware was video encoded with baseline.

Now, what was interesting is I created a 1080p/24fps baseline file at about 7.5mbps and the phone had zero problems playing that, even that that high bitrate! Very surprising there....

Now, I created two files -- one using High Profile and the other Baseline profile -- both at the same bitrate so they are both identically sized -- and the quality difference is quite noticeable when playing through VLC on my computer. The Baseline is much more smudgy during lots of movement.... Sucks

NOW, realistically if you only watch video on your phone's screen, then encode at 960x540 and use baseline and it will look really good.

If you connect HDMI, though, then the hardware decoder will send the video to the TV at full resolution (up to 1080p) but then the quality difference really becomes noticeable.

It's a shame really .... This TI OMAP CPU in the Bionic/Droid 3 does not have this problem ... but all Tegra 2 devices like the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and so on have the same issue as the Droid X2.

(Although it does appear the newest 3.1 update on the Tegra 2 tablets allows high profile 720p not, I tried it on our phone and it does not work. Not even 540p at high works.) We are using a lower slightly lower end version of Tegra 2 versus the tablets so that might be the difference.
[Motorola Droid X2] adrianblack:
Attached is the Baseline profile settings to use for Handbrake for our phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
This is why my computers only rock AMD.
[Motorola Droid X2] fargles:
could the latest update have done anything? I would really like some higher res movies with out having to go through all the hassle, cause I have no idea how to do all that with baseline and everything lol
[Motorola Droid X2] ihavenolife008:
Very doubtfully no, since its really a hardware issue.

Re-encoding is generally pretty simple, especially if someone gives you the right profile/settings you need, as he did above. Grab Handbrake, check his settings, and give it a shot with a short video file. The worst part is the length it can take to transcode something, which is mostly dependant on your CPU.

Thanks for the info man, was going to play around with this when i first noticed it but never had time and forgot about it. I'll be lazy and keep the old Archos 5 going with component out video lol, doesn't look too great, but 120GB and great battery life will help.
[Motorola Droid X2] fargles:
I definitely will try that, and the reason I asked was cause at the bottom he sounded unsure that it was a hardware problem... so I thought why not ask lol no harm no foul right?

in my completely n00b opinion if we are using a slightly lower tegra2 than the ones in the tablets it would seem that we wouldn't have such different results. I would think that if we are using slightly lower processors we would get slightly lower results. However I know very little about what I am talking about so I could completely be off base:P
[Motorola Droid X2] nitwit:
This phone just keeps getting better and better.
[Motorola Droid X2] densetsu86:
To topic greater what derision of android were you using and what rom? Cause I found that on 2.3.3 using eclipse 0.2.2 I had next to no problems playing any 720p video files using hardware. They were h264 in mkv. Just.get mobo video player and its codec pack. If you trying to watch anime download mkv ripper to rip the subs out so you can still.use hardware. Yes software support make it skips but i rarely need to use software. At least on my dx2. And using software support on 480p runs with out any problems.

Mobo player is the best video player out for android use that instead I tried mx player and it was quite crap. Your.playback of video files depends on the video player itself as well as the phone. And in hardware 720p runs just fine on mobo with very little hickups for.fast.pace action scenes and I know I'm not on baseline.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mankie:
Hello all,

I have been able to deploy xap file up until today.

Nothing changed except for me installing Tango on my Samsung Focus the other day which I uninstalled because it didn't work well.

Today I tried to install another xap and it's telling me to connect my phone.

I have zune running and it sees my phone and it has synced without any issues.

I did the same on a HD7 and it worked fine.

The Samsung Focus has mango 7720.68 with chevron and interop unlocked.

What I've done, reinstall wp7 sdk 7.1 and zune 4.8.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Anyone know what else i can do, short of factory reset?

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Localhorst86:
Nope, had that exact same issue about a month ago. The only thing I could do was a factory reset.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mankie:
Did that remove the chevron unlock, if so, can you still unlock if you had provxml or will need to go back to pre-nodo and unlock?

Any idea what could have caused it?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Localhorst86:
it should remove your chevron unlock, yes.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenohart:
Silly question, your phone is not under lock screen when you try to deploy?

Another silly question, can you open other applications which were sideloaded?

In case yes for both questions, try a newer version of xap deployer, like the one that comes with the new Windows Phone 7 Market Place. Also, try this tool http://wptools.codeplex.com/, does it work?

In case no for the second question, you lost your unlock somewhere.

Restoring an old ROM is just a workaround the issue, but if you don't wanna try then I guess restore away! :P
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mankie:
Phone is on and lock screen unlocked (i can see tiles)

All sideloaded apps work.

The xap deployer does not work (check attachment)

If i do factory reset the phone, will it also remove the provxml that was loaded to the file system, or will it keep the unlock in the diagnostic tool so that i can run it to unlock?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snickler:
Try rebooting your computer a few times and use a different USB port. Sometimes my computer would lose communication and not deploy to my phone until I rebooted it if you send many xaps that use COM interop to it. Weird quirk.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirolg:
maybe you have again to register your PC with the ChevronWP7.reg (for PC registry)

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tessut:
I think the problem had to do with the interop lock
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snickler:
Yes that makes sense also due to the fact that you need Interop unlock in order to run COM Interop.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mankie:
I've done this, also used another computer on which I used to deploy xap, same thing on that.

Used different USB cables as well.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mankie:
I had mango without the interop unlock and was able to sideload apps.

I have applied the chevron and interop unlock using diagnostic menu on Samsung Focus multiple times, however, it did not work.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenohart:
Soooo you have tried HeathCliff thread on how to INTEROP-UNLOCK Samsung phones?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mankie:
The phone did have the interop unlock, i've even applied the wifi tethering, so i know it was interop unlocked.

Nothing worked so I just loaded 7004 and went from beginning.

Thanks all!

There are a couple of dumps of the original Revo operating system. If you download it and extract it, you should be able to pull all the sound files.

Hi there. A while back i flashed KG5 then rooted.

Phone worked fine. Until i realized that all browsers when left idle will RELOAD all tabs upon reopening, killing my data plan and driving me crazy at work where i activate equiptment via my web browser.

I am currently flashing GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKF3_I9100XXKE7_I9100XEUKD1

Which i hope clears up the problem.

My question is this:

how do i return my phone to a state where Kies can update my phone legitimately if i need to?

Many thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slayer__4:
Lol.

First off: Wrong section, there is a Q&A section for this very reason.

Second: If you made a nandroid backup after rooting your phone (which I hope you did) you can simply restore to the stock rom.

If you need a stock kernel (if you have the yellow triangle on boot) then you can download one from here and flash using odin with one of the guides you can find elsewhere on XDA.

FYI not all noobs need to be noob-ish.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luke318is:
I didnt know nandroid existed until now =p

Im not too worried about the yellow triangle at this point, but i will handle that later.

Any ideas how to get back to stock at this point? Or at least a solid firmware that most people like?

I am currently tethering over a 4g connection, and my internet is working fine, BUT I have a complete LOS for the cell signal. I think this could be a very important fact because we should be able to know some things by the fact that WiMax is working while the cell signal is altogether lost.

Hopefully, with this info, a solution is a little closer at hand.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
As WhiteWidows stated, it's 2 different radios. The LOS people have posted over and over about is the ability to make/receive calls (which is what the OP posted about). The Wimax radio (4G) doesn't transmit phone calls. That's why you can do data on 4G and still make a call at the same time.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jtlcastro:
Hi guys, this is one of my first posts but I've been a long time reader coming from the Evo 4G forums. I'm rooter using Zedomax v3 and experienced multiple LOS as well.

Last night I tried limiting the clock speed to 1ghz and setting the min at 400mhz. Strangly I now get slightly better reception and never had a LOS yet. Will continue to test out this theory and see if it's clock speed related.

I came about testing this since I ran mine at 1.6 for a while and not only would I get more LOS occurances, I would also get phone freezes lol. I tether and stream music a lot so wanted to keep it slightly underclocked to keep the temps down. Hope this helps as a temporary band aid for the LOS bug
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Erislover:
It definitely makes sense that the two radios are separate...the point of my post was just to offer some more information to help figure out a fix.

If one radio fails while the other stays working, do we know that the problem is phone-related? Many posters have speculated that the issue may be on Sprint's end, so I wasn't sure if this info did anything to challenge or support that theory. Maybe it does nothing, though -- just throwing it out there!
