Verify the MD5SUM of the ROM as well. You may of gotten a bad download.

What i personally do when i download and install a new OS is

Download OS to computer

push the OS to the SD card

verify the MD5SUM

reboot into recovery

nandroid backup

factory reset

flash new OS

flash g/apps (if needed)

reboot system

to check the MD5SUM while it's on the SDcard just use the line command from either the terminal emulator or CMD prompt.

# md5sum /mnt/sdcard/<file_name>.extension
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
+1

You can also check the md5 sum when its on the SDcard using the free mand5 app from the market.

Thanks to everyone for helping out, I finally got it working last night when I had time to sit back down with it.

I was trying to use the ROM Manager version of the Cyanogen instructions and it ended up that that was the problem. I switched over to the recovery version based on your suggestions and it worked great.

Thanks again!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unhappybirthday:
General feeling around here is that the only thing ROM Manager is good for is flashing ClockworkMod recovery. There are folks who won't even do that with it.

ROM manager ruined my recovery I had to completely re push recovery thru adb
[G2 and Desire Z General] inourstars:
I would post my question in the thread that I'm using the guide from, but I don't have enough posts to post in the development section. Embarassing.

Anyway, I'm trying to downgrade using this guide, and 'm at the final section where it should be downgrading. I've created a goldcard and everything has worked perfectly up until this point.

I ran this command: "> fastboot-windows flash zip StockRom.zip"

and it's just said "sending 'zip' ( 291477 KB)..." with the blinking cursor for like 45 minutes. Should it be taking this long? When I first tried to downgrade without the goldcard this entire process from sending to failing took about 7 minutes, this seems entirely too long. I can't write anything in the screen because it's still blinking.. can I safely unplug my phone and try again? Or will that break it? Should I just leave it overnight and see what happens?

Any help would be appreciated... ahh being an android noob is awful. :(

ETA: I decided to go for broke and unpluuged the phone, because I didn't think it was flashing as it said it was still sending data. After I pulled the phone it gave me a "fail (too many links)" error in ADB. I used the fastboot to reboot it and it's still on 2.3.3. Can anyone tell me why it won't send the file and try to downgrade?
[G2 and Desire Z General] inourstars:
As an update, I tried again and it still won't send the file to the phone using the fastboot code. Is there a way I can put the file on the phone without this code so it will be there already and just flash it?

I'm so frustrated with this, I've been trying to downgrade it for 2 days and I'm about ready to give up. Any help would be much appreciated!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
Try put the rom on your sdcard, named PC10IMG.zip

then reboot to bootloader by turning phone off and holding volume down when turning on. that should scan and prompt to update.

Hello everyone. I am new to this forum and this is my very first post. I recently established a Galaxy S2 for Tmobile. I've search and search and try to root it and came upon this forum.

I hope someone can help me root my Samsung Galaxy S2. And this is my phone info

Model: SGH-T989

Android: 2.3.5

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.11

(just the 6 digits)

I've done some rooting before on my previous Vibrant but is a one lick root.

Please help I need to delete some bloat wares on my phone.

Thank you,

If you are on a international (not AT&T) SII:

Rooting your S2 will take about 30 seconds, if you carefully follow the instructions in this forum:

[19.10.2011][CF-Root 4.4] KE*, KF*, KG1/2/3/5/6/7, KH1/3/4, KI2/3/4/8 - su+bb+CWM4

Be sure to have samsung kies installed (for the latests samsung drivers) but to totally close it (kill the process, not having it running in background) before start the flashing because odin is blocked by kies, and this risk to end up on a semi bricked phone.

If you are in a AT&T phone, i have no clue, but i know there is on the forum threads specific to root that device.

Btw, welcome to XDA and the S2 community

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidrookie:
Rooted

I think the root tool was release on 10/19. to use with ODIN V1.8.5. to root it.

I didn't install kies, but I did use the driver from samsung. I also download SuperUser.apk and recovery-cwm-hercules.tar (search the web)

Power off.. Then Volumn up+down and connect cable. Select PDA on ODIN and select Recovery-cwn-hercules.tar. start the process. phone will reboot. Mount usb and copy SuperUser over after rebooted. Since my phone is new i didn't perform a NANDROID backup (crazy) then flash the superuser.zip file in the recover mode. I have done much yet, but I did use Root Recovery and it worked.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheArtiszan:
Sorry tried a few different roms and coming to wits end

Just wondering which of these is a good stable rom

Tried most recently cm7 and miui the ran good but GPS was wonky at best

Always had to reboot to use

Just wondering what would be a good rom with decent performance that GPS works with.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
I think GPS works in Bionix, it is a 2.2 rom by team whiskey. I have never tried it.

I was using cm7 and miui, I liked both, smooth and fast, but minor issues like constant reboot required to get GPS to work. So I'm back on stock deodexed/rooted kb5. GPS works ok, but definitely better than on GB.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donkilla:
In my opinion it doesn't get any better than TeamWhiskey Bionix-v 1.3.1 with Tigers BLood Kernel.

I'm running that. TeamWhiskey has never failed me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lieu10ant:
i was on RevolutionRom JVP (gingerbread) with clockworkmod recovery, and i TI Backup'd.... manually wiped data, cache, dalvik, and then installed the simply honey zip file from recovery, and it wiped for me automatically (which was expected) and now during its boot screen where it says "powered bay talon sh kernel", the phone simply goes into a bootloop.

so now my question is, how do i go back to bionix-v (froyo) from the gingerbreaded bootloop? would i have to odin back to stock or something?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donkilla:
If you didn't apply the Gingerbread bootloaders i think you can just ODIN to stock then flash. If you did to the Gingerbread bootloaders I think you have to ODIN the froyo bootloaders then Odin to stock.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ali1276:
NO GB bootloaders are backwards compatible. No need to flash froyo bootloaders.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pablitos76:
it really depends on you. im on miui right now because i cant go without gingerbread, but i also liked bionix. it was extremely stable
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teddyv:
ya, it's... im also on MIUI, as 2.3 is the only os with proper copy past.... its just hard to get past the hacked drivers....

as far as the gps, i picked up a bt-gps brick that gets 1m accuracy, i can sit up in the window and works great... cost me $20.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ian77ex:
Hello.

I know this post is a little long. But I'd rather do only one good post with all my inquires after having done enough reading than post many insufficient questions/posts without knowing what I'm asking about.

I've been spending at least 2 hours a day the last few weeks reading threads and I've been changing my mind every night before going to sleep. It is hard to learn so much information and so many options and opinions, it is confusing, even more when English is not my first language, I have to deal with so many new acronysms and worst of all I am on a dial-up connection.

I followed this tips from "Read before flashing" : - My phone goes into recovery and into download with the key combos. No 3 button fix needed - have adb up and running - installed CWM, made a nandroid backup, kept the CWM update.zip in my sdcard - built my USB jig - have a good quality (bold) Nokia USB cable - read about USB virtual port on my PC not being higher than 6 etc etc etc...

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

I decided to update to "leaked" STOCK I897UCKI2 Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread. Root it and try it before any other ROM.

I think this is what I must do.

1 - OdinOneClick I897UCKI2 Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread With Bootloaders [With CWM Injected Kernel from Boog]. It should be the one and only dangerous flash since I need to flash GB bootloaders only once.

2 - Flash Fugu's root kernel (zImage-root.tar) It produces a bootloop. A sort of soft bricking which is part of the process.

3 - Flash "CWM Injected Kernel from Boog" again.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Q: Is all this OK? Am I missing something?

Q: With this setup I should be able to install other roms via CWM since it is in boog's kernel. Right? Because I want to try Cognition 5v2 and a few others later.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

LINKS???

The only link to fugu's root kernel (zImage-root.tar) I've found is at CB650Wolf's thread [ROM]I897UCKF1 Odin-1-Click Gingerbread 2.3.3 w/ Optional Fugu Root. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1127249&highlight=I897UCKF1+Odin-1-Click+Gingerbread+2.3.3 Is it OK to use this for 2.3.5? If not, could somebody please post a proper link?

I can't find a link to "KI2 CWM Injected Kernel by Boog" to reflash after rooting, and I guess I cannot extract it from the OdinOneClick please post a link.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, that's the purpose of this thread.

Thank you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
You are good to go with what you have outlined in your post. And yes, the fugu root kernel in that thread is the one to use.

And I have attached the kernels you needed, here... View attachment 757394 -- It is the .tar ki1 kernel that you must flash 1st through the regular Odin. Then you can flash the ki2 cwm .zip kernel here... View attachment 757395 through the Recovery.

[HTC Desire S] damian35:
Hi,

Convinced my wife to also get a Desire S and we are picking one up from Orange UK later today.

She will need root so that we can install an app to get the phone to connect to our car phone kit. I'm assuming that the phone will come with Android 2.3.3 and the associated HBOOT.

I'm guessing the options are to diable the OTA updates, S-Off with Alpharevx and use gingerbreak for root. I'm assuming the advantage is that this can all be reversed if there is a layer problem with the phone. The downside will be that we won't be able to update the phone until Alpharevx, etc, catches up with new phone software releases.

The alternative is to S-off via XTC-Clip (there is one nearby) which will ne permanent and allow pre-rooted updated RUU's to be more regularly installed.

Does anyone have any views on the best way forward.

As an aside, I'm guessing that installing an unbranded ROM does not affect any functionality of the phone on the Orange UK mobile network.

Many thanks,

Damian
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Hello,

Assuming that you get a hboot version that can be s-off'd then I'd use revolutionary and follow the method that you described.

You're right about disabling ota updates do that immediately as if applied then they can seriously limit your options.

There is something called uma (I think that's right name?) which I believe enables you to use your wifi to make calls when mobile signal is weak, I believe that this can be used on orange but I don't know if your devices would come with it. If you're from UK you can now piggy back Tmobile so you have more chance of a decent signal.

If you get a later version of hboot, that can't be s-off'd then you still have several options open to you:

you could attempt to use the official htc unlock htcdev.com unlock routine, even though this devices still isn't listed as supported I've read that some users have successfully used this method to unlock their devices successfully. Although I can't provide any links so you'll have to either read around or post a further question in an attempt to get some info on how to do this method.

You could alternatively drop the revolutionary boys a line and ask them is they plan to update their software to later versions off this devices hboot To see If any etas are forthcoming , although developers tend not to like eta requests

Another option before considering xtc would simply be to wait HTC to add support for this device, it's supposed to be coming, but so is xmas, although you won't be unhappy with the device running stock, although I run a rooted custom and love it, my wife is still running stock as it's her first Android device and she's still loving it!

Although then there's always the xtc route and as an original xtc user I can recommend this route although as you're aware it's not reversible and you must consider the effect it well have on your warranty

Good luck with your choice, psst back any questions

Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
[HTC Desire S] damian35:
Thanks for the reply.

Picked the phone up on Saturday and it is Hboot 0.98.0002 and Radio 3805.06.02.03_M.

My wife seems happy with things, apart from the mobile data/signal does not seem as robust as with her old Nokia. I've told her that a radio update may improve this as it did with mine when I recently updated it.

Think will go down the Revolutionary route. I need to check but assume that you can just flash a new radio with the Revolutionary Hboot. I think for now she will be happy with 2.3.3 and we will see how things pan out with updates in the next few months.

Thanks again,

Damian

[Verizon Droid Charge] -javier-:
i am currently on Gb 2.3.5, i was wondering if i need advance task killer?

or is there something better? or i shouldn't install anything?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ilovesoad:
You do not need task killers. They are counter intuitive. They prevent the phone from sleeping and also conflict with androids inherent memory management, which is linux, because of the kernel. Things are cached in memory for ease of reopening later, while free memory is filled up with other caches to sped up the OS. Totally free and unused memory is wasted (to a point, eventually you need some, but android handles that pretty well).
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
No. Android takes care of memory for you.

[Verizon Droid Charge] achandler2:
Do like I do and holds down the home button and kill all the task that you don't want running
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
dont use task killers! sure, use the built in task manager to close apps when you're done with them but never use "clear ram" or any other task manager. Like previously stated they do way more harm then good
[Verizon Droid Charge] BleedsOrangeandBlue:
If you feel like you'd prefer to forego multitasking ability for sake of having more RAM available, you could always use V6 supercharger to adjust your minfrees values.

I rarely have many things going at once, and so I have my values set to free up RAM at pretty high values. Still allows me to swap seamlessly between Opera, Twitter, FB, and my Fantasy Football app, which is really my bread and butter. Any games or other programs are used seldom enough to where I can wait to allow them to free up RAM from other sources and open the program without much aggravation.
