re: Right!

I just remebered that too so I edited my previous post a minute ago...

It seems that I am trying to blame all the faults and bugs people are having on the i9100 roms.......... :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alanmw:
Got a problem I hope someone can help with. When I boot into CWM, there is no choice to "Apply zip from sdcard" There is only a choice to "apply update from sdcard." When I select "apply update" and choose the S8 zip, the install process begins but fails with the following:

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:signature verification failed

install_package = (2)

Installation aborted.

Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
are you sure it is cwm recovery and not stock 3e recovery? No option to install zip from sdcard looks like stock recovery.

Boot into recovery, if it is cwm it will say cwm version

5.something. If you don't see that she just see recovery 3e that is stock recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
CWM Recovery

Just download this SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar

and flash it with ODIN: http://www.multiupload.com/QQKN7NJAFT

After its done it will reboot to the proper CWM recovery

which will have the option to "install zip from sdcard".

Then you can flash any CWM flashable custom rom

which is available for our i777 phones.

Good Luck!

I loved this rom battery was amazing but it kept dropping my Bluetooth headset. It was after a full wipe before installing any appsnas well. Bluetooth works fine on stock, stock deoxed, and unNamed. Willing to flash back if someone has had this problem and got it sorted. I'm a chef (restaurant) so I have to have it working flawless tried trouble shooting but got frustrated after a couple of hours and restored my backup to un. Any help would be appreciated I absolutely loved the battery life and feel of this rom. Thanks

Thank you very much for your help. Unfortunately, I still can't get it to work. I flashed the file you provided in Odin, but I still get 3e stock CWM when I reboot into CWM. Stumped I am.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
re: CWM Recovery

Try this, this is a CWM kernel zip file which you don't flash with ODIN.

Download this Siyahkernel 2.0 http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=753669&d=1318971920

Then rename it to "update.zip" and copy it to sdcard then in 3e recovery

select "install update.zip" (forgot the exact syntax of this in 3e)

You may have to do this twice if you are in 3e recovery.

It just might work. It cannot hurt anything to try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bigblue95z:
Market wouldn't download on initial boot. Could hit "Install", then "Accept and Download", then it would just sit. Reboot did the trick. Just FYI for anyone else that runs into this. And CWM uses home/back capacitive buttons ;)

You can use the power button in recovery by pressing Vol Up or Down until you go through the entire list three times.

Same as on the Infuse or Captivate, only in reverse.

btw, I'm curious is there a way to tweak stock sms reading app so that messages/threads can be deleted in an easier manner?

I'm getting various notifications from nagios monitoring via txt messages and to delete one I have to:

- tap left-button

- select "more"

- select "delete"

- confirm.

seems like awful amount of work to delete a message. making "confirm" step configurable/optional and moving "delete" action to the upper menu would make things much easier.

I know the whole thread can be deleted from the main screen, but what about when you already opened a message.

Does anybody know how to improve things?

So not necessary to flash back to stock? I'm stock and rooted right now. If I can flash without having to restore all my stuff, I may flash this now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dungeon47:
I'm so happy right now.

Mikey/Chance (the single entity),

Can you have the toggles for FlightMode and Flashlight switch places? This would put the Flashlight/Camera on the main row for those of us running a custom density around 200.

If it's not something you want to do as a permanent change, is it something I could do myself, or have as an addon?

Thanks for all your work, guys. I really didn't expect anything until ICS. Extra mile FTW.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SpectraDawn:
I think this was mentioned earlier, but the developer of this ROM chose to only use the H symbol (since there is no need for the +), even though you are getting H+. H+ is H+ you can't get any lower than that, then it's 3g and Edge.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. :)

I update the instructions on the download page. Let me know if it isn't clear somewhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
re: custom rom

First you need to download these two files below:

SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar (kernel)

http://www.multiupload.com/QQKN7NJAFT

ODIN3 Flashing Tool for Windows:

http://hotfile.com/dl/116095613/1d3d429/Odin3_v1.83.exe

Copy both of the above files into a new folder on the desktop.

Then you need to flash the cwm recovery with Odin here's how:

1. Pull battery or power down the phone

2. Open Odin in the new folder on desktop

3. Click "PDA" button in Odin

4. Select the SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar file

5. Hold both volume buttons down & connect usb from computer to phone

-This will put your phone into download mode

6. Verify that the "COM:XX" in Odin is lite up yellow

7. Click "Start"

When it's done flashing you can reboot the phone.

Now you need to flash a custom rom of your choice.

Download and copy the custom rom zipfile to your

sdcard.

Now you need to go into CWM recovery mode here's how:

Press both volume keys at the same time as you are pressing

the power button and wait until you see the white samsung text.

Then let go of the power button first then the vol buttons.

Wait until you see the CWM recovery menu.

In CWM recovery menu select "wipe data/factory reset" then select

"Install zip from sdcard" and select the zipfile you copied to sdcard.

Wait til it's done flashing then select "Reboot System".

Once this is done you should be ready to go.

There is no need to root your phone since flashing a custom rom also

roots it at the same time.

NOTE: If you want to backup your current rom first no problem.

In CWM Recovery select backup & restore.

Then select backup.... It's that easy!

Good Luck and you owe me a hot lunch! :)

Love the ROM so far!

I have a couple questions...

Was there any reason to choose 2.3.4 over 2.3.5 or 2.3.7?

Also would it be possible to prevent the flashlight from turning off until i choose to do so? When i use it from the dropdown menu it turns off by itself after a pretty short time... Quite annoying i must say :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shansmi:
Sounds like your device is not in download mode and if it is you do not have the Samsung USB drivers installed or the COM port would be yellow.

On a side note, this method increments the Custom ROM Counter. There is another procedure a little more complicated than this one to get root and CWM installed that does not increment the counter or trigger the yellow triangle... All you need is here in this section on XDA.

I use this method now...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1311081

After that you can flash any ROM with CWM without incrementing the counter and no triangle.

Usually when I sleep, I turn off my data, and when I wake up I check my battery stats and it says it has been awake for a huge part of the time.

re: flashing

SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar: <--- This is the kernel file

and it's the very first link in prior my post.

You most likely need the new unified samsung USB driver,

thats why you don't see Odin com:xx light up yellow.

Also make sure that usb debugging is enabled.

settings>applications>Development>usb debugging (enable it if its not already enabled)

Here is the Samsung Unified USB driver: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...0%20download&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13196871580881

Be sure to uninstall kies if it's installed and uninstall any other samsung usb driver,

then reboot windows before installing the new unified samsung drivers.

I have the same old Gingerbread Android OS bug where the system processes "suspend" and "events/0" use CPU time almost nonstop, even during screen off time.

I have read the forum and can't find my problem exactly. On 8.0 everything worked.

Have wiped dalvack and reloaded with same issue. Not sure if it is an or not. I would welcome advice on how to fix this if. If I should try apn settings or something else.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Have you tried to take out the MMS.apk out of UnNamed and place it in system/app and reboot? Does that work for you? If so, that means the MMS.apk in S8 is messed up. If it dosent fix it for you, then its your APN settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SpectraDawn:
Extracted MMS.apk. and MMSprovitions.apk (just in case) from UnNamed. First placed the the MMS.apk, rebooted, and then tried to send a MMS, nothing. Placed the MMSprovitions, see if this did anything, rebooted, tried again, still nothing. So if it's true what you are saying then my APN's are messed up. But again, why would Serendipity 8 mess up my APN's when it works fine with other Roms? BTW I'm trying this on the full 8.1.

Edit: FIXED!!!! Went to recovery, wiped everything, flashed Seren8 (not 8.1), wiped data after flash, and rebooted. Will try the same approach with 8.1 and see if the MMS still works.

Edit 2: Did the same process as before but with 8.1 instead. MMS does not work. So there is a problem with this update.
