I have just this minute flashed it back to stock and i am about to root it again and try to install villianrom. If it doesnt work this time i am just going to leave it stock. Will let you know how it goes.

Thanks again
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerriannec31:
Hi just to let you know phone is now rooted and has villianrom installed without a glitch. Dont know what the problem was but seems to have fixed itself now.

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xx_bluedev_xx:
I also had this issue early when I got my sgs2. Here is how I fixed it. I used the "unbrick" method, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1286432

So flash the package in pda that contains stock kernel and rooted rom or stock rom doesn't matter, then flash the code works kernel that contains cwm again, then you can boot into cwm and flash roms again. Not sure what the root of the issue was, I just know that this fixed my problem. Make sure that if you are flashing via cwm your are installing a .zip and not a .tar or other extension as the .tar are for odin. Let me know if this doesn't fix your problem I'll be happy to help dig a little deeper although I would bet that this will fix it :D

Edit: looks like you got it working while I was writing this :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerriannec31:
Yeah got it fixed i flashed the stock kernel in and then re flashed it with cf root then re installed villainrom and seems to be working fine so will see how it goes.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerriannec31:
Hi just a quick question. When i install new firmware should i have to back out and reboot system once install complete or should the phone do it by itself??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerriannec31:
I have just tried to install cyan mod ROM with gapps and it just sticks at the galaxy s2 boot screen with yellow triangle. I clicked chose zip from sd card, then external sd card and install from sd card. then i installed the gapps the same way and rebooted the phone and this is what i get every time i try
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Do a full wipe, then try again. If it still doesn't work, then you'll just have to try a new rom.

[General Questions and Answers] Riddlin:
I feel like Android phone manufacturers are making so many new phones no one can even keep up anymore. (Unless you have thousands of dollars to invest into phones). I just bought a droid Charge in August 2011 and pretty much there are 3-4 phones out or that will be out that are better in the next 2 weeks.

Personally I think they are making to many phones to fast and they are not giving the older phones the updates they need. This could turn in to a major fail. Just wanted to hear some other peoples thoughts on this issue.
[General Questions and Answers] exb0:
get used to it br0. It's the cycle of technology. You can NEVER keep up. Just love what you have.
[General Questions and Answers] Riddlin:
I do love what I had. That is why I just sold it on ebay. LOL I want the latest and greatest, but this is getting ridiculous. Who in the heck wants to hang with their old droid when there are 20 better phones out there within a year. Either Apple is on something or they are on to something. 1 new phone ever 6 months to a year and people go nutz for the fricking thing.
[General Questions and Answers] oka1:
My advice evaluate the phone technology and its likelihood to be supported. These are the 2 most critical items to consider.

I have had a Galaxy phone since its release and I waited for it for 5 months before getting it............ because I knew it was going to have tech that would endure for a while. Now, we have the dual cores everywhere. Beware, just because it is dual core does not make it a great phone. Make sure to check everything out, and make sure it will be supported. Finally, As soon as you get a dual core in ........2012 there will be quad cores..........and so it goes...........

[General Questions and Answers] Gusar321:
Then the problem is clearly you and not the manufacturers. Ask yourself why you always want the latest and greatest. What significant and meaningful difference does it make in your day-to-day life.
[General Questions and Answers] jesche:
The carriers will never update their phones as quickly as we would like, but we have CM7, Miui and other distributions to fix that. :)
[General Questions and Answers] rye&ginger:
Do you upgrade a laptop every 3-4 months? Likely not.

'phones' are becoming similar.

Also, Android being a powerful free OS allows many phone makers to get in on making a smartphone quite quickly. This is a good thing, not a bad one.

I dont go to the food store and complain there are too many different types of bread. Choice is a luxury.

/firstworldproblems
[General Questions and Answers] xManMythLegend:
There is a problem.

The problem isnt choice or speed of new handsets. Its the fact these handset makers seem to be going out of there way to hold back features just to create more options.

Nearly every choice you make you sacrifice something that shouldnt be. This last year Samsung was incredibly guilty of that.

We shouldnt have to pick between the phone with the best camera or the best screen 3g or 4g when theyre released with identical specs within a few weeks/months of each other.

You end up with a situation where IMO since 3GS/NexusOne were both available at same time theres basically no best handset to get. They all have some glaring downside that often seems intentional. Nexus Galaxy having weak gpu/pentile screen/5mp camera for a flasgship phone is the calling card of this awful trend.

Hopefully Google buying Moto means a true flagship android phone will be out in the future. HTCs lousy digitizer selection , and Samsungs half assed approach really are getting on my nerves.

Win7 just needs more options PERIOD.
[General Questions and Answers] Jaunzems:
Actually I'm happy I'm a reviewer and I get all the newest models for a week only. I never have to regret my choice and invest in next generations and upgrades.

That's why I chose a mid-tier device - If review phones must be wiped, I can still keep my data on my Ace and customize how I want.

It's good that technology is moving so fast. You buy a thing, but there are many others that haven't bought this thing. If they were iPhoners, they would have to wait until June (or October in 4s case) till the next model.

But Androiders and WP7ists just go in the store and buy tech that is up to date, because it is released just weeks ago and so specs are always at its zenith.
[General Questions and Answers] yujin_11:
Phone manufacturers are really going out of control. They produce phones with specs that are missing, then include them in their next offerings. but then they produce phones which are pretty much the same as the ones before except for 1 or 2 upgrades to increase sales.

They like to make their products 'diverse' but if you look on the bird's eye view of it. It becomes clear that they are just going for quantity without quality products.

Why don't they just drop down a killer phone whose specs will stay for at most 2 years?

Better buy a product which suits you for the next year or two
[General Questions and Answers] Dripz167:
I think it's great, actually. People only THINK they need the latest and greatest device, when they don't. I rather have 5 new phones come out in a 2 week period than having to wait for something for a year or so. With android, there's little chance of you not finding the PERFECT phone for you. (Mines is the SK4G, I can care less about any other phone now)

The only problem I see with rapid phone releases is updates. I highly doubt the Sidekick 4G, even with it coming out earlier this year, will see ICS... let alone Gingerbread, because they're forgotten about/ not important enough.

Honestly, if you have a rooted GB device, and it runs how you like it, do you need to worry about the newer phones?
[General Questions and Answers] zerocool79346:
Because, short of Apple and their ability as a small company producing both hardware and software,there is not profit in that. Companies are out to make money, it is not their fault that the wealthy people of the world have decided that they must have the latest phone no matter what, that's on the consumer.
[General Questions and Answers] Gaugerer:
I bought a Nexus One in April 2010 and I've not felt tempted to replace it before now because it runs Gingerbread and newer phones didn't seem to offer that much more.

However, the release of the Galaxy Note with the stylus for accurate screen pointing and screen large enough and with sufficient resolution to display entire Web page makes an upgrade now worthwhile to me. Zooming and panning a small phone screen across a Web page to find specific points of interest is a pain and I look forward to leaving that experience behind.
[General Questions and Answers] Toss3:
^What he said
[General Questions and Answers] Kailkti:
Because if they play apple's game, they will lose horribly. Apple is apple, and apple is the standard whether you like it or not. When a average person compares a phone, what does he compare it to? The iPhone of course. So a manufacturer will not survive if they only release a oh so powerful phone every year or two, simply because they do not have nearly as much of a fan base apple has.

I have seen first hand proof of this working. I had an evo 3d. Htc decided all futre devices would have locked bootliaders well that made alot of people angry. Someone posted a thread on xda suggesting we let htc know that is not gna fly. So it turnd out thousands of people got on there facebook wall and twitter. Guess what the next day htc released a statement saying that they wanted too keep there coustamers happy and that the bootloader would be unlocked. They were. Id like to be able too have a device and not have too get a new one juzt because moto or htc or sammy wants too put them out constantly get people too buy them and then ditch them and out out another. The atrix is 100 percent capable of runing ics and theres no excuae for it l not too recieve it just because moto wants people too buy new devices every couple months. I know many many people feel the same way well as i said we have the power too change that if people would stop bickering and take it seriously. And also if moto started supporting devices longer not just bug fixes but the new android flavors. Id definately make my next device a moto it would do nothing but benefit them

[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
I'm attempting to restore my contacts with My BackUp Root and it fails after a few minutes of trying to remove the existing contacts. I get the error message:

Contacts: Failed: get field slot from row 0 col 0 failed.

How can I get my contacts back? The backup file is from a nand that I restored this morning. I restored it to make a full back up since I lost them when I wiped my phone clean, then flashed back to MonsterRom 1.2, and now they won't restore.
[Motorola Droid 3] eww245:
What's wrong with google contacts, or titanium backup
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
I was having battery life issues due to not wiping between ROMs, so I did not want to restore system data and I am not sure exactly what to restore through TB to get my contacts back. I needed them badly, so I just flashed back over a nand backup and then flashed MR1.2 over top of it. So, I currently have what ever was killing my battery from before on my phone, but contacts took precedent.

I want to wipe it clean and re-apply 1.2, but what should I back up through TB to maintain my accounts and contacts and what not? I have no complaints about rebuilding home screens, etc.

[Galaxy 3 General] im.prem:
Guys its me again.

Flashed Pre-Rooted DDJP6 and G3MOD 1.8 extreme kernel.

Charged for 2 hours, After that taken my phone out of charging suddenly battery started draining to 10% and phone switched off. i waited for a while and restarted phone battery was 80% and suddenly 10% again and phone switched off.

In the past i had been changing rom since last 4-5 days from Kyrillos to Indroid to XXPJF to DDJP6.

Kindly tell me what is the issue?? Many suggest to calibrate, when we calibrate we have to drain it in reality and recharge it to 100% but my phone if showing fake battery it drains instantly so how do we really drain it and re-charge??

I want to solve this problem asap. As my phone is almost unusable, i suspected SETCPU is causing this so i uninstalled it but still no use.

Please help i don't want to re-flash the rom and lose the data again :(
[Galaxy 3 General] Panos_dm:
There is a high possibility that your battery is damaged since, as I understood, this problem persists in more than one roms.

sent from my CM7 nokia 3210
[Galaxy 3 General] im.prem:
Switched it off for a 20-25 Minutes.

Switched on since last 2hours 3minutes and Mobile WIFI ROUTER AP in use since then.

still 22% Left. Dont understand , sometimes works very well and sometimes what a lag. I would let it drain and then charge fully.. Hope it works
[Galaxy 3 General] ronnie735:
first change the kernel to G3MOD v1.9 lite. be rooted. using root explorer delete batterystats.bin or install BatteryCallibration.apk charge upto 100% then let it drain. use battery monitor widget to check health and voltage of the battery. report it here. if health is good and voltage is >4150mV, u are good. :)
[Galaxy 3 General] im.prem:
Actually its such an pain to again n again change the kernel :P i can't doo al data2sd and stuf again :(

btw i had cleared battery stats from the recovery so i don't have a stats.bin file when i tried batterycallibration it said the files is missing.

Sometimes battery works nicely and sometimes it lags usually at night :( what solution we have for this?
[Galaxy 3 General] im.prem:
Battery was running fine at 100% on some tough work for an hour or so. Its rocking

So lets experiment , see the log below ->

SETCPU set to on demand max 1Ghz.

11:33 = Battery 100% , SETCPU setting on boot, wifi on , fb chat on , opera on.

11:41 - Battery at 74% FB CHAT off now installed operamini.. let me browse ;) SETCPU still on :P

11:52 - Battery at 61% , Opera On , Setcpu modified to SAVE POWER.

11:54 - Battery still at 61% but phone is lagging more then it was before SETCPU. So i have uninstalled setcpu and kept my phone for charging. Lets see how much time it takes to fully charge..

I have reached the conclusion that SETCPU is the cause of problem
[Galaxy 3 General] im.prem:
Even after SETCPU problem persists... drained it once and charged for about 1 hour , was showing BATTERY FULL... took it off charger switched on, was 100% kept in pocket in idle condition. 10-15 minutes passed by took it out and was down to 80 then to 50 in next 15-20 minutes without any work... What's gng on :( some1 help

Which is the best kernel for Samsung Galaxy i5801 , in terms of performance,battery and App2Sd./data 2sd.
[Galaxy 3 General] raja4sure:
Best kernel........????

Well there are 2 kernel which are just awesome ......G3mod 2.0 b3......and Fugumod kernel......

U can flash any one of them.....

I personally prefer Fugumod....but it's your choice coz both are fantastic....

Flash the new kernel and clear the battery stats....calliberate....and Setcpu doesn't harm your battery....
[Galaxy 3 General] im.prem:
Even i am thinking about FUGUMOD.. does it include Recovery , app2sd ,data2sd and stuff.

If yes can you tell me which version exactly of FuGuMOD is the best for non lag stable superb experience ??

M using DDJP6 pre-rooted with superuser and i don't want to format and wipe stuff again.. lots of apps are dere and internal memory is still 800mb empty so will it b impacted if i flash a kernel?
[Galaxy 3 General] raja4sure:
Fugumod does include CWM and app2sd script....

Fugumod 1300Mhz version is the best........I will upload it in a while on the Dev section as it is missing.....

Thanks sir,

But today i found that my back cover is not shutting properly so i took my battery out for a while its sort of swollen at few places and that's the reason why i can't put the cover on properly.. asked few of the friends they said its gonna blast anytime.

Can u tell me if it is true?
[Galaxy 3 General] sidzcool:
Which fugu mod version?? Beta 3?? It has 800mhz oc
[Galaxy 3 General] maverickgenius:
If the batttery gets swollen, it means it is near the end of its lifetime. If it is swollen so much that you cant put your back cover on, it is time to change your battery. i would recommend you not to use your phone with that battery and get a new one ASAP.
[Galaxy 3 General] Smonic:
Just to clear things out, fugumod doesn't include CWM recovery nor does it include app2sd script. You have to do this manually unless you are using a custom ROM which has this preloaded such as kyrillos' ROM.
[Galaxy 3 General] umangsagar:
It is weird that it happened on this phone. I CAUTION you STRONGLY not to use that battery as it may damage your phone, leave aside blasting and all.

I would also recommend you to take more care of the phone as in, not left in charge for way too long, not overclocked constantly at very very high speeds continuously, and also to check where you keep you phone while charging (dont keep it on heat emitting stuffs like stabilizers, fan regulators etc) Change your battery of course.
[Galaxy 3 General] vivekmishra:
Looks like the problem is You. It is neither the battery nor SetCPU. You skipped some basic stuffs, ignored the governor scaling of setCPU and now just pay some attention and if you do, you got yourself a solution! :P
[Galaxy 3 General] sidzcool:
Nope its the battery only I checked it a mobile expert and saw the battery a bit swollen so its definitely a battery issue. I set the right profiles and governor while using setcpu. Maybe overcharging must have damaged my battery.
[Galaxy 3 General] im.prem:
I am not using SETCPU VIVEK MISHRA then why do i set it properly? i have uninstalled it buddy. The problem is with you if you don't read properly,The battery is not functioning properly and has swollen.
