[MENTION=1602851]connexion2005[/MENTION] it has been 4 days since my last post. I have not received any word about my phone being sent back. I want an email with confirmation of my refund and tracking information on my phone; otherwise I'll wait until the middle of next week before I file a claim with my bank and submit a complaint to the Better Business Bureau.

UPDATE FEB. 9TH

Ok so I called the Mobiletech number a few minutes ago and I was very pleased to get Josh on the other end. He explained to me that he started up a separate business (an IMEI repair service, as I understand), and he was busy managing the new business while trying to keep Mobiletechvideos running smoothly. Josh admitted that the attempt was a failure due to the fact that employees were over-loaded with orders, hence why the website remained down for so long. This is the main reason why all of my attempts at communication remained without response for long stretches of time.

Anyway, Josh agreed to the refund for the glass screen, and when I inquired about upgrading to express shipping, he gave me the option of either doing the express shipping at no extra cost, or giving me the money that he would spend for express shipping in addition to the glass screen refund, but still proceed with the priority mail return. I took the additional money. So as far as return handling, I'm satisfied. Whether or not I'm completely happy will depend on when I actually get my phone back. Although my phone call to Josh made me change my mind about getting, the BBB involved, I will use heavy discretion before I decide to use their services again.

Regardless, I appreciate that Josh took the time to explain what was wrong and the exact reasons why my order was never completed before I asked for my phone back. Also, I appreciate the lengths he went through to make amends and I hope that his business will get back on track.

They finally came through!

It took three months, umpteen emails/calls, and a report to the BBB and my credit card company, but MTV did finally fix my phone and return it to me, as promised. Josh told me some time back that he had opened a new business venture which was really taking off, so perhaps he's just way overworked.

What is your order number? A scam would be an operation that intends on purposely stealing from an individual. That is not what is going on here...

If this is Terrill thanks for your patience! I even accepted the chargeback you filed which should net you 100% of your funds back to you.

So I have good news for you! I invested in an QHUSB unbricking tool and repaired your unit after all! Question though, your unit had no rear cover when it came in and no button (volume up, power, volume down) flex correct? Just making sure I send it out as it came. Your battery was included if I remember correctly.
[General Questions and Answers] xd.bx:
That's great news, and also 100% correct! I removed the back cover and flex in order to remove the battery, but then saw the battery was super hard to remove without damage and gave up ;)

By the way I should have read the forums, many many people like me had issues with the LG reflashing tool. I plan to *never* use it again.
[General Questions and Answers] connexion2005:
LOL I hear ya. I'm just glad cause I resolved 10 "unpgrommable" G2 units last night with this tool I aquired. I'll ship the unit today!
[General Questions and Answers] Sammguy:
So if you are not scamming me when do you plan on sending me my phone back please tell me.. That is a ridicules time period for you to keep my property without me assuming it's not gone for good. It doesn't help that you don't answer your phones and dont reply to emails. No word what so ever not even reassurance that oh we haven't for gotten about you .I would have even accepted that at this point. I am so pissed at this point any reasonable person would be. If you can't fix my phone just send it back and refund me the money. I'm usually a really relaxed guy but this whole deal brings me way past my boiling point. Especially that i hear other people with the same issue all over your face book, xda, and review sites repeating the same thing.

[General Questions and Answers] Carspeed360:
hello android-users! i have a motorola charm that I bought earlier this year that is currently running Android 2.1 Eclair as its latest update and is rooted using the SuperOneClick application. it's a pretty nice phone and all, but the problem is that i keep constantly running out of space for my applications, because they can only be installed on the phone's internal memory, and not my SD card, which is 8 GBs. this is getting really annoying, and since my phone won't be receiving any more Android updates, I won't be able to natively install or move apps into my sd card, so i was wondering if it was possible to do on a rooted Android 2.1. if so, could you please tell me how or point me to a good tutorial? Thanx so much for the help!
[General Questions and Answers] Carspeed360:
Hi guys, I'm really sorry to bump my thread here, but I'd really appreciate some help! Even if it's just a general idea or method, I could look up the rest on my own on Google or Youtube, but a working method that you guys could point me to would be great. Thanks again! :)

Starting off i am a total noob when it comes to rooting…. so i followed a guide to root a galaxy s 2 but the i9100 model….so i rooted it and then i realized that i did the wrong model since the touch buttons werent working and all…so i looked for a i777 model and i followed that tut and rooted with the Clockworkmod and after i was done rooting evrything is fine….but the splash screen is still i9100 and yellow triangle and now i am also reading that u have to flash the roms back http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1294574 like mentioned in there….....i dont know what to do now i just want my device to be a normally rooted device with everything working like before(EX. Splash Screen, Possibly Wrong ROMs?)….Please consider my noobyness and point me twords a step-by-step guide because i have already tried researching alot and i dont understand this stuff…. thank you so much for helping me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dmnall:
I did the Superoneclick as well and when I had the yellow triangle, you need a usb jig to get rid of it, but when I had the symbol my phone said SGS2 i9100 above the yellow triangle. The Yellow Triangle is just a counter on the phone from flashing a non stock kernel, the jig resets and it will say Samsung Galaxy S2 i777 again once it counter is reset. Just make sure when you buy one that it states for at least an sgs 2 i9100 *the one I bought from ebay said* and it will work.

HTH,

Well thanks ... but I am a little worried about my Tom's and kernels..... I have no idea what they are but in the thread above he followed some steps to get his roms and kernels straightened out if I got of right.... but I have no idea what he is talking abt so how do I know if my rom and kernel are how they are supposed to be? And how do I fix them....? I feel like going back to factory firmware ( compleetely stock and then rooting again the right way...) please help me.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dhaval33:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
It's possible to get rid of the !/I9100 screen without a jig... Workarounds are linked from the first post of the FAQ.

Even if you have a kernel designed for our device, it will put up the I9100 screen if the last kernel flashed with Odin/Heimdall was something other than stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dhaval33:
well i got that .... please verify what i am going to do before i sctually begin and mess up

1. Download The kernel + rooted system package from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1286432 (Does this also install busybox)

2. use Odin to flash it from download mode.

3.now this is the part i dont get in ur post here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18238883&postcount=106

U said:

Then flash this kernel using the method in http://xdaforums.com/show...0&postcount=72

You may need to add "su" between "adb shell" and "dd" when on a stock kernel with rooted system.

Then always flash using CWM or the method above from then on.

Since i am a newbie, can u briefly tell me the steps i would do this... please? I really appreciate ur help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dhaval33:
Also here in ur signature it says rooted stock+ my kernel... can u tell me what that means and the difference is between these methods:

--Method 1--Flash flashing codeworkx CWM then Super One Click(Method by jivy26)

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1285894

--Method 2--Flash through Odin(Method by Entropy512) *Flashes stock ROM with root*

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1286432

--Method 3--Flash codeworkx CWM then flashing through CWM(Method by Paulyhoffman)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
After you complete items 1 & 2 above, you will have returned the phone to stock, just like it was after it came out of the box, except it will also be rooted. If that is all you wanted to do, you can stop there. At this point, the yellow triangle will be gone, and the i9100 boot screen will be gone.

If you want to modify the phone further, you will need to add a kernel with clockwork mod recovery. However, if you flash a non-stock kernel with odin, the yellow triangle and i9100 boot screen will return. (I guess that's essentially what you did in the first place.) The method in item 3 above describes how to add a kernel without flashing in odin. You can actually do this one of two ways. 1) Using your pc, install the Android SDK, which will install adb.exe on you pc. (adb = android debug bridge). Then you can use adb from your pc to add the kernel to you phone over a usb connection. 2) From you phone, using Android Terminal Emulator. You can transfer the kernel image to your phone with usb, then use the terminal to add the kernel to your phone.

The advantage of adding a custom kernel is to make the phone run better, and to gain clockwork mod recovery. To educate yourself, you should read through Entropy512's Daily Driver kernel thread.

If you want to customize your phone further with a custom rom, you can flash anything from clockwork mod recovery without causing the yellow triangle or incrementing the flash counter.

Hope this makes things a little clearer. If you want to use adb or a terminal, you should be able to find lots of instructions in this forum, as well as elsewhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dhaval33:
Wow thank you soo much thats exactly what i was looking for....that makes things a lot clear u have no idea...lol. What if i want to add themes and new boot screens in my phone would i still need to put clockworkmod ? what is the difference between the clockworkmod kernel and the entropy kernel? and finally wouldn't i just be able to flash the clockworkmod recovery from ROM manager? i also read on the faq not to use ROM Manager but that is how i boot into recovery so idk what to do. And would i be able to do this and still retain my apps, settings, my data and my unlock that i currently have?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Do NOT use rom manager on this phone. Clockwork Mod Recovery is built into the kernel. It is built into Entropy's Daily Driver kernels, and probably every custom kernel.

To enter clockwork mod recovery when you have a cwm kernel installed, just boot into recovery with the three button method.

Themes are usually added with cwm. Custom boot screen is done with a bootanimation.zip that is copied into the boot directory. Entropy's kernels also have boot animation support.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dhaval33:
thanks i am going to do step 1 , 2 and then put entropy's kernel via adb.... but i didnt find any instructions on how to use adb to flash a kernel...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Download the kernel package and extract the zImage from it. After you install the SDK, put the zImage in the same directory as adb. Then run the commands in Entropy's post.

I suggest you read up on ADB first, so you have an understanding of the complete process.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dhaval33:
thank you i got it now.... but i am still debating whether to use clockworkmod kernel or entropy daily driver kernel.... which one should i put on and what are the benefits in simple terms please... thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
codeworkx's goal with his CWM kernel was basically a "reference" kernel, as close to stock as possible but with CWM as far as I can tell.

Mine includes his CWM, but includes other features, look at my thread for details.

BTW, for some people, Droid Explorer happens to be an easy way to get adb working on Windows. I can't really provide any help beyond this as I'm a Linux user.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dhaval33:
ok i got adb working by following adb for dummies guide but when i entered

adb push zImage /sdcard/zImage

it worked

but when i tried

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

it gave me permission denied

I searched for this but i found differenct phones not galaxy s 2 i777...Please help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dhaval33:
anyone have a solution for permission denied.... i did go into terminal emulator and put in:

su

dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block.mmcblk0p5

Recorded in

Recorded out

there was something else too but is that all i had to do? how do i know i put in that kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
What does settings, about phone, Kendal version say?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Reboot and run CPU Spy. If the user@host for the build machine was adodd@quadmonkey, it's mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Access denied means you need root access. In adb shell you enter su and the prompt will change from $ to #. Then enter the dd command.

If you used terminal emulator you have to have the zImage on the root of the sd card or it won't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dhaval33:
it does say adodd@quadmonkey.... :D successful now if i wanted to install a ROM would it need to be compatible with ur version of kernel or are all ROMs compatible?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Should be a rom based on stock. UnNamed rom and Cognition X2 both are, and both use Entropy's kernel. However, when you install a rom, in includes the kernel, and it may be a different version than you installed, possibly not the latest release, so you may have to go back and use adb or terminal emulator to add the latest kernel again.

Perception is based on i9100XXKI3 but also uses Entropy's kernel. CyanogenMod 7 is a whole different animal.

I applied the steelblue theme from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1042365

After applying in CWM, I rebooted, but I am stuck on the reboot screen.

What do I do now?

If it helps, I accidentally ran the theme on 2.3.4 when I'm pretty sure it was meant for the older version of android.

I only realized until later, and by then it was too late.

Are you able to boot to recovery, and flash a backup?.....hopefully you at least installed clockwork and made a backup first.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noodleyhead:
I'm pretty sure I can. Can you tell me how?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defnow:
Power off phone > hold power button and volume down button together and hold it until "fastboot" appears > as soon as you see "fastboot" appear ..use volume rockers to scroll through list and select "android recovery"...IF you made a backup ..install your back up. But since you're asking how to get into recovery...pretty you didn't make a backup ..did you?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noodleyhead:
Actually I just did.

Just now, my atrix randomly booted into recovery mode(looks like this: http://atrix4ghacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/atrix-4g-clockworkmod-recovery-6-300x257.jpg) , so the first thing i did was make a backup. But is there any way to just boot into the normal unthemed state from here?

I tried to select rebooting, but it still booted into Steel Blue. So i took the battery out and turned it back on and did some random stuff until it booted back into CWM. Can I somehow unflash the Steel Blue theme and boot back to the normal state? I know, its probably a stupid question. But I'm pretty new, so I dont really know what I'm doing. :|

Hey mates! Is there an application for changing menu background for ace? (solid black by default). It is so be grateful if someone work on this. Preferably not using third party themes. Thanks! :) :) :) :) :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jusada:
It is on cm7 in a theme. But. . . And its a big but. . . If say you put a white background in your theme, your text wont show. So then you have to change the text to say black. But then text wont show in some popups and status bar. So you alter the popup background and status bar. But then what about apps. . . . Well you get the idea. Yeah, you can. But you need a lot of work.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
We'll have some roms, but the question is how soon. I would assume we'd have to wait 2 more weeks for a rom and probably a few more days for root access. Btw your welcome.

you can change fonts by going under settings display..and clicking the first option there should be something under there to change fonts...and if you want different icons on your home screens download desktop visualizer and an icon pack and put those there instead.
