Root has been achieved ;) there is a dedicated topic over at modaco.

Custom ROM will require that we unlock the bootloader. Unfortunately that still require work.

Cheers.

Love the phone, all and everything about it EXCEPT the in call volume. When talking on the phone i raise my volume rocker to the MAX and does not make much noticiable difference. Ive done a lot of search and researching but nothing seems to work. I've tried rasing the media volume as well as this liittle work around which does NOT seem to work witht he AT&T version of the GS2 for option #5 Audio:

•Enter this number *#*#197328640#*#*

•This will open the service mode menu.

•Select option [5] AUDIO•Select option [1] (VOICE CALL) *EDIT* -> DOES NOT WORK ON AT&T GS2?

•Select option [2] HEADSET

•Select option [1] Volume

•Select option [1] SRC Speech RX Volume

•Select option [5] 5_lvl : 87

•Press the menu button (left side)

•Choose Key Input

•Enter a value between 0 and 100, with 100 the loudest setting.

•Press ok

•Then press the menu button and select back this will save (don't use the right side back key you normally use to navigate the phone or you will quit out of the settings).

•Keep selecting the menu and back until you exit the service mode menu.

You will also note you can change volume settings for other things like Bluetooth, handsets, video call etc.

Anyone experience same/similar issue and found a work around for it? Will getting a new/replacement phone help at all?

not to throw this off topic but when I received a call last week I was listening to music from either pandora,beta music player, or just the music player and when the call came in I answered the call and the music didn't stop and kept playing as I tried to talk to the person on the other end I finally had to end the call quickly,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] daraj:
Try AudioBoost SGS2 from the market It will definitely makes a difference. You can control the amount boosted. Too high you will experience distortion.

Service Mode Not Working on ATT GS2

I have the same problem with my ATT GSII. Earpiece volume is not enough even on maximum volume. And the SERVICE MODE does not seem to function properly. Did you find any solution?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wified:
Try Voodoo LOUDER - works good on rooted i777. Boosts just enough to make the difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sfadaei:
Thanks. Tried it on my rooted stock ROM (i777). It does change the headphone volume, but not the handset volume itself (which was actually more important for me ;) ).

Hi,

I have the same problem but my phone doesn't recognize the code. It says invalid number or code. How can I fix
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dw3bb10:
Im not due for an upgrade on my line until May. I want the Epic 4G Touch now though, im tired of my EVO 4G. My mom has a full upgrade on her line that she will let me use to get a phone. Will we be able to purchase a Epic with the discounts and contract extension on her line, and simply change the numbers? Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paniro187:
Yes you can do that. Get the upgrade they will get her all set up. Then call and get the phones numbers switched.

Don't let her use it though she might keep it. Ha

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dw3bb10:
Well thats the thing, we're on 2 different lines, on 2 different ACCOUNTS. But would the discounts hold up? I Guess not, NOOOOO!!!!!!! lol :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Smoked600:
If you are on 2 different lines, you can still use the upgrade on the correct account. then after that just flip flop the phones over

[EVO 4G General] Jfree3000:
Give them a call and see, seems like something that would be possible.
[EVO 4G General] robertsaurus:
I've done that before, you used to have to wait x amount of days before you could or they would charge you for the full price, but last time I did it for the evo it worked like a charm. Buy it then change it online
[EVO 4G General] misfit0313:
I've done that many times, with all 4 of my lines in my family plan. If you're not sharing a plan it won't work. Doing that is how I got my evo. If they ask why just tell them the Epic Touch is too big for her.
[EVO 4G General] massivebasset:
I did it in store at a best buy.

Sprint store told me I would lose the mail in rebate if I didn't keep the phone on the original line for 30 days or something, but best buy has no rebate, and didnt care, just did it.
[EVO 4G General] misfit0313:
They don't charge if swapping phones under the same plan.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
Wait until tonight to make your decision.
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
I'll bite. What happens tonight?
[EVO 4G General] hercules rockefeller:
That should be no problem. Just call telesales and ask to have upgrade shipped cold. Then when you receive the phone call care to swap it with whatever phone # you like. I place orders like that for my customers every day. As long as you don't turn over your entire account in a rolling 2 year period you'll always have an upgrade available. the only thing I can't verify is whether that impacts your rebate, as my customers are all corp and gov't accounts and don't get mail in rebates.

Edit: technically sprint policy is the exact opposite of what I just wrote; upgrades have to be used for the line on which they were ordered. But it just has never really been enforced. So don't go holding me liable if you don't get your rebate or whatever else happens. I don't know if any other wireless providers enforce a policy like that, but it seems to me like it's a losing proposition. At the end of the day customers are going to swap out their phones however they want to, it's too hard to enforce, and the customer's perception is that it's unfair to go around policing things like that.

[EVO 4G General] david914:
why dont u just have her upgrade her phone to which ever phone you want, and simply swap phones online or at the sprint store. so in the end she keeps her phone, and u get the upgrade, but like it was mentioned before, u will lose the mail-in-rebate, unless u buy the phone at best buy.
[EVO 4G General] dw3bb10:
Thats my point. So I guess I should go and get it at Best Buy?
[EVO 4G General] david914:
Sounds like the best bet, I've never bought a phone from them, so I don't know if they are capable of transferring numbers tho, anyone else know if best buy can swap phones?
[EVO 4G General] misfit0313:
Recently attempted to swap phones on 2 different service plans, I was gonna use my mother in laws phone to upgrade my kids line. The in store rep said she would have to keep the phone for at least 30 days, or she would be charged full price.
[EVO 4G General] JustSomeDude:
I did this at Best Buy as well, used the upgrade on my Mom's line to get my Evo last spring. No extra charges, no waiting, they just transfer it for you.
[EVO 4G General] tgruendler:
I used my wife's upgrade the last two times to go from my Hero to the EVO4G and then to the EVO 3D. I did all of them at Wal-Mart. The guy in the electronics department did everything for me.
[EVO 4G General] dw3bb10:
So best buy would be the best bet? Even if the upgrade is on a total different account? I just dont want to lose the discount on the phone!
[EVO 4G General] tgruendler:
Think it has to be on the same account.
[EVO 4G General] dw3bb10:
YEa :(.....Just got to wait till May, when I get my own upgrade :/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gromky:
After a year of the same Energy ROM, I figured it was time for an update. I tried to flash the new ROM onto the phone over ActiveSync and figured something was wrong, as I had the same screens as before. Turns out, the RHODIMG.nbh from last year was still there on the micro-SD, so I replaced it and flashed again, this time not using ActiveSync. I got the dreaded cycling reboot. This happened last year, and I remember the solution was to make sure the battery was fully charged and connected to AC power while flashing/booting. Didn't work this time. The battery was at 100% when I started flashing, anyway. I removed the SD card - still the same problem. Removed the battery, connected the charger to AC power, replaced the battery, and let it charge until the LED was green. Still same problem. Plus, the battery seemed to take a very long time to charge. While trying again to flash (this time the factory ROM), I noticed something strange. Holding VOL-down and reset, I get the red/green/blue/white striped boot screen, followed by the typical white "Press Power button to start update image" screen.

As soon as I do this, however, the phone says "Update in progress" for a split second, goes back to the four-color screen where it briefly displays an illegible error message, and then returns to the "Update in progress" screen and the flashing proceeds normally(?) I managed to get a photo of the error after trying several times.

Link to large size photo

The phone reboots as soon as the "preparing your phone to work for the first time" screen comes up. I can see that the images are flashing, as the startup screens are different for Energy and the stock ROM. Funny thing is, it worked on the first flash. I could see that all the contacts and such had been wiped and the phone reset to its default menus.

I've spent a few hours today reading forum threads (I have about 15 of them open in other windows right now) but I have no idea what the problem could be. Anyone seen this before?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
I've seen something similar.

Did you try Task29 & a stock ROM flash? Which ROM are you flashing, are you sure the NBH is good...? You seemed to indicate it was something different than Energy...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gromky:
That's a good idea, but as the phone won't boot, I can't get ActiveSync to work, and task29 states clearly in the instructions that it requires an ActiveSync connection to run.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
IIRC there's a NBH for Task29 that you can flash via SD.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
The NBH for task29 can be anything. The RUU is what actually performs the task29 function. I have a blank NBH file, but it won't do any good on its own.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gromky:
This is all Greek to me. :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Try flashing the stock SPL, then the stock ROM, then Hard SPL, then the custom ROM of your choice. All but Hard SPL can be done from the SD card.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
Damn... I thought I did that at one point. Sorry for the misguidance gromky...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gromky:
Thanks for the English translation. ;) Where would I find the stock SPL and stock ROM? I bought my phone from the grey market shop in China so I'm not sure what the original ROM and SPL for my phone should be.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
TP2 WinMo Dev Section will be a good place to start. If you don't know what the stock ROM is, how will we? If it's an unbranded clone, then who knows...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Heh. Yea, originally they posted it with a blank NBH, so people flashed via SD with that, but it was still writing bits to the ROM. After a while it got replaced with a radio NBH since that didn't touch the ROM, allowing for a cleaner task29. Honestly, it doesn't really matter either way, since task29 happens at the tail end of the RUU flash. During those 10 seconds or so that it stalls out at the end of the flash in the RUU is where the task29 happens.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gromky:
Is there some way of identifying phones by the exterior markings? And if I can't find the "original" ROM, then do I have a brick?

If I have a brick, is there some service I can fedex the phone to and they'll get out the soldering iron?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
As arrrghhh mentions, there's no way for us to tell which ROM is stock for you if it's one of the unbranded RHOD100 models. Maybe see if cmonex can provide a Hard SPL that can be run from the bootloader. That's your whole problem is that your boatloader is all screwed up.

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

You don't really need the original ROM. That was just the do-it-yourself method of recovering. Since you don't have that information, you'll need some way of reflashing the bootloader. You don't know which ROM is the OEM one for you, so you should not flash a stock SPL. That will lock you out of being able to update anything but the stock ROM, which we don't know. My suggestion is to get in touch with cmonex or olipro (the creators of the Rhodium Hard SPL) and see if there is a way to reload Hard SPL from the bootloader.

In any case, once you get the bootloader issue sorted out, you should be back in business to flash whatever you like.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gromky:
Oh my God. You mean the only way to get this fixed is to contact a big-league developer to custom-make software to recover? I'm screwed. :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Well, I'm not going to do it for you, if that's what you mean. cmonex might have a solution made already, which is why I'm suggesting it. I've seen her assist others in a similar situation. In any case, where you go from here is up to you. All I can do is present you with the options the evidence suggests.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadster1976:
Hi All,

I have a Touchpad that is showing a battery icon with a question mark after trying to charge for an hour or so. I have searched the net and found lots of different supposed solutions for it and none have worked. I am still not quite certain whether it is software or hardware related.

It has stock WebOS installed, not hacked with kernel/OC'd or Android. I have attempted these fixes with no change in status:

Tried several different cords to charge,

Tried charging for 1.5 days or so,

Tried twisting/untwisting/twisting charger head,

Tried charging with PC and Laptop main USB ports (no hub),

Checked charger voltage with multimeter and it is +5 V,

I have also attempted to put it into USB mode and no USB icon will appear on screen. Here is exactly what happens:

I hold power + center button till reboot, then quickly hold power + Vol up. Screen goes black (never see USB symbol). Try plugging into computer and the computer attempts to install drivers for Palm device, but does not succeed. I have Web Doctor and Novacomd installed (along with necessary Java, Eclipse, etc.). I cannot connect the computer to the Touchpad to attempt a WebOS re-install.

I can also perform the above with Power + Vol Down which results in a different USB mode which some have said is a Qualcom development mode, however I cannot get those drivers installed properly to communicate with the device either.

Power + Center button on bottom results in reboot shortly followed by battery icon.

Center button LED's alternate white back and forth when charging up to a certain point, then the dreaded battery question mark reappears :(

There seems to be many different opinions out there as to what the actual problem is - some say it is hardware related, some say software related. Some solutions that are offered are for phones, and as such offer solutions like getting a new battery or pulling the battery, which is not an option for the Touchpad.

Anyone else have any other real solutions other than sending back to HP for a new one? At this point I am not sure I can even get a new one if the inventory levels have been depleted.

I've got the exact same problem with a 32GB Touchpad. Any lucking getting it to work?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shufflesmike:
Had the same problem out of the box - Had to warranty it (twice) to get it fixed. Actually got it to work for 10 min by completely draining the battery then the charging symbol came on.Charged it for 4 hrs - started to set it up and it died. I think they replaced the battery (2nd time )because It had the smaller one before and now its the larger. I'm glad they fixed mine instead of a refurb because it has none of the fit or crack problems.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nateboi81:
Definately warranty, bad battery. I had one after a week!
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadster1976:
No luck - but honestly I haven't tried anything else lately. I have been working away from home and haven't had a chance to mess with anything. I have not seen any additional steps to try attempting a fix. No one else has offered any additional suggestions of things to try and I think that a return may be the only way to fix the issue.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevintblack:
Started getting the icon last night. Called HP and they asked me to return it for repair.

They barely did any troubleshooting, so I'm guessing they know what the problem is. I've seen multiple references to bad batteries in other forums, so my assumption is they will replace it.

I will lose the device for a few weeks. Hopefully this is a one-time thing.

It is possible to downgrade your phone back to an older rom. You cannot ruu back to an older version that is older than your phone came with b/c it will brick when trying to downgrade your hboot. At some point partition sizes were changed in hw003 versions from 20000 to 40000. If u have 20000 size partitions that u maybe b able to go all the way back..

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
The kernel is included in the rom, but the radios may give you trouble. I'm not positive, but you may need to downgrade your radio to be able to get the rom to work.

I wouldn't RUU since I'm not sure of what issues may come from it.

What happens when you try to flash an Eclair rom? Does it error? Or does it flash but not boot?

Also, what recovery are you using?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortydoggg:
I've downgraded from Gingerbread 2.3.3 Hboot 2.16 to Eclair 2.1 Hboot 0.76 just for the heck of it, but now am back on Froyo, but still Hboot 0.76 for the supposed fastboot commands. It all depends on your hardware version and your mtd erase size. If you have Hardware version 3 or 4 and partition erase size of 40000, then your hboot will not downgrade back to Eclair.

You can find your Hardware version under Settings /About Phone /Hardware information

You don't have to do this, but if you or someone else insist on getting the erase size, you will need the attached file. Extract it to c:/ . It should extract to a folder called adb on your c-drive. Open a command prompt, connect your phone to your computer, and turn on USB DEBUGGING under Settings/Applications. Type

c: <ENTER>

cd adb <ENTER>

adb shell <ENTER>

su <ENTER>

cat /proc/mtd <ENTER>

You will see a column titled erasesize which will read either 00020000 or 00040000.
