I have heard of people using the lg recovery tool to recover bricked phones,

when it detects your phone isnt booting correctly it re flashes it.

But the problem is, my boots perfectly , so it just tells me my phone is up to date.

There has got to be a way to trick it some how....

Anyway off topic, how do i get my root back XD
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:

You mean re install Su binary file to bin and xbin folders?

Or am i missing something?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finalturismo:
ok i was able to change the permissions back on the system/bin/su file

Now things get werid,

I still cant run su command in adb shell as root

I checked the permissions of system/bin/su

i set chmod to 6755

Thats right isnt it?

The permissions DID CHANGES

so i dont get why root checker is telling me i dont have permission still......
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finalturismo:
I got it working i re installed binary 3.0.3 and i had root access again.

Than right after i set chmod to 6777 on /system/bin/su

i lost root again, what does this mean?

[Captivate General] -viperboy-:
Hi guys, I'm pretty good with every phone I use but I've tried everything I could think of to get the GFs Cappy to work. Her phone was pretty slow so I tried to boot into recovery and it was just a black screen. Used Heimdall to flash the zImage listed on the Cyanogen forum. It got CWM on there and from there I could never get back into CWM. Everytime I flash the zImage, it just hangs at the boot screen. Odin doesn't recognize the Captivate, I've installed and uninstalled the drivers and rebooted as well. So I'm at a complete loss as to what to do with this now. Can anyone help? I have searched and poured through all of the guides and things. I'm stuck. Thanks guys!
[Captivate General] mossination:
If you can get into download have you tried plugging the usb into the back of the computer and running odin as administrator? That's what I did.
[Captivate General] -viperboy-:
Tried multiple usb ports, tried as administator, Odin freezes on SetupProcedure. The files I have for stock KF1 are:

CODE_I897UCKF1_CL273832_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5

Kepler_odin_new_part_JE3_S1JE4.pit

MODEM_I897UCKF1_CL1017518_REV02.tar

SGH-I897-CSC-ATTKF1.tar.md5

I probably can flash them though Heimdall, but I don't know if I need all the files or where the first one goes. I'm really getting sick of trying to fix this phone, so if anyone has more suggestions, I would appreciate it.
[Captivate General] -viperboy-:
Any other suggestions? I'm about to break my laptop and her phone...
[Captivate General] sixstringsg:
Have you tried the one click heimdall Adam Outler put together?
[Captivate General] -viperboy-:
That didn't work either. However, it looks like it's going through now. It seems like it was a driver issue and the Captivate drivers weren't working. So in one of the threads, there were other drivers for the GalaxyS and I installed, rebooted, and tried again and it's in the process of flashing. Fingers crossed! Thanks everyone!
[Captivate General] chappatti:
Why Cyanogen forum?

And why not Odin........there are so many one click flashes with odin that will get you back to stock state here for example: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
[Captivate General] sixstringsg:
Heimdall is more reliable and cross platform, so it's usually a better bet. You can also exclude bootloaders when using Heimdall, but not Odin unless you grab a package without bootloaders.
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
Plus, if you run Heimdall on a Linux system, there are no worries about drivers.
[Captivate General] chappatti:
The link I posted has Odin one clicks WITH and WITHOUT bootloaders all the way from JF6 to KJ3, and also CWM packages all in one place. That's my only reason for the Odin question.
[Captivate General] sixstringsg:
Ah, ok. I wasn't trying to argue, I was just trying to answer the question.
[Captivate General] johnhazelwood:
I was going to mention drivers, but saw this too late. CM uses no non-captivate USB drivers.
[Captivate General] chappatti:
No worries man, same here. Have no problem with your point at all......:)
[Captivate General] -viperboy-:
IDK, that's just what I found cause I was going to put CM on there. And I tried every Odin and nothing worked. But I finally got it working now. Thanks for the help everyone :)
[Adam General] JohnnyQ1964:
So I've been using my Adam for about a year now... went through all the NI ROMs and all the "hacked" ones too.

Everything has worked well including Zinio, even from the version extracted out of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 inch.

About a month ago after I re-installed after my Adam on Adamcomb 0.3 (HC variant) and now the stand alone Zinio that ran perfectly before is no longer working on WiFi.... only on Bell 3g...

The only indicator of what is wrong is that it shows a DNS error.

Anyone else have this problem? Are there any tools that can help me change my DNS, without having to go the SDK and ADB route.

Thanks in advance.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tboooe:
I set my wifi sleep policy to sleep when display is off. However, when I look at activity monitor graph in the battery menu, I see that wifi is being shown as still on. I also notice when I turn on my phone I see the wifi indicator. I cant imagine its connecting that quickly!

So my question...is wifi really being turned off according to the sleep policy setting?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
How long are you waiting after you turn the screen off to turn it back on to check? It definitely waits some time before shutting the wifi off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
Also if you have anything on your phone that wakes the wifi, or if you are checking multiple times each hour, every time it wakes it will go all the way through search for signal and make a connection and then set idle for a few minutes before it will go back to sleep.

For me I have found just leaving the wifi on all the time was a much lower battery drain than letting it sleep at all.

Hi, yesterday I rooted my phone using "Super1click" and it went well. Today, I was just listening to music, and then my phone rebooted and now it gets stuck on the "AT&T Rethink possible" screen and it keeps looping. Since I have been using iOS for the past 4 years, I am pretty new to Android. What can I do to "restore" the phone like I would ro restore an iPhone?

I have no clue what to do at this point

The power button on my Sensation gets stuck occasionally and when

pressing the home button it takes a screen shot which is very annoying and clutters my photo album.

I know there are apps that lock your screen without having to press the power button. Is there an app that takes you directly to your home screen? I just want to avoid pressing the home key and taking

another screen shot. Thank you!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h20wakebum:
This is mind boggling to me... any help would be apprecaited...

This issue happens on 2 (non rooted) epic touch 4g but works just fine on my rooted epic touch 4g.

If I dial a number and place (2) 2 second pause then numbers... another (2) 2 second pauses, it will work on the rooted phone... One thing to note, it does not actually make the sound of numbers being dialed... it just shows that it's entering the string

On the two non rooted phones, it will "garble" the numbers (they go all fast) and basically the operator on the other end says i entered an invalid code (even though im using the same code as on the rooted one...

Any thoughts? anyone else have this happen?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bubbabfp:
Hey all are the GS2 from Sprint and att superior to our tmobile version? hardware wise? I am new to rooting and all, and I just rooted my phone and it runs super better with all the bloatware removed.. My antutu bench scored like 5460. is that good? and when I freshly reboot i scored a 3800 in the quadrant. anyone know when an OC kernal will be out?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jessejames111981:
first off all benchmarks really don't mean much. they are cool to tote around but in the end of the day it makes something better than another.

lets just say that hardware wise the processors are faster on the sprint and att&t. Not stating they are but lets just pretend. What does that really mean? It'd take 0.1 seconds more to open something on the T-mobile. wow is that really relevant?

lets talk about things that matter. screen size. attt is smaller. fail for me. some might like a smaller phone and think 4.52" is too large. if it is go attt. Now sprint is big also. So what other differences is there. More roms on sprint. at least right now. that should be important to people on xda but the phone is young. I think you only need like 4 good roms anyway. Once we have those it'd be different.

really is a slight hardware difference important?

Touchwiz is hardware accelerated for mali-400 which is more powerful than are gpu. The adreno 220 have better shaders and renders than the mali-400 but the mali is still more powerful. Our version of the galaxy s2 is not hardware accelerated like the other ones. Snapdragon S3 processors are optimized for battery life. Being asynchronous processors meaning even though you have a 1.5

dual core in your phone your phone is never actually reaching 1.5 in both cores at the same time. Both cores work independently from each other. This can make things lag as both processors scale differently from each other. But if programmed correctly they are on the same level with exynos processor if not better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bubbabfp:
Thanks! Yes I agree I love my phone, and it runs every single app including every game like a champ, and I do love the bigger screen. I cant wait for more roms to come out for our phone. Anyone know when we will receive a OC kernal to start over clocking it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jessejames111981:
overclock? is there a reason to overclock except for (useless) bench marking? I'm still trying to find a game/app that this phone has a hard time running. The game deadspace runs 100% flawless! :D

I cant seem to download Dead Space.. from the flexion site, but I am downloading dungeon defenders now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
Your right no need for overclock this processor is one of the higher clocks and we still get better battery life compared to the others variants. Dead space is a good example on optimization for the gpu for us. As soon as we get some kernels and optimized roms are phone will be sitting right next to the other beast.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quest4fire:
att and sprint dont offer up to 42 mbps speed data speeds
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ap77:
This. The big difference from a UI perspective is the lack of hardware acceleration on the TMO version. In all likelihood, it will still that way as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jessejames111981:
show me some one that gets 42mb. show me someone who gets over 20mb consistantly.

In philadelphia I get 3-5mb with sprint 4g. I get 4-6mb with my gsII. Other cities may get other results
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] overthatscreen:
I can say from personal experience that the Sprint version kicks the snot out of this one. Wish I never sold mine and switched to this. but I couldn't pass up 30.00 a month for 5gb that I can actually use.

The Sprint version has barely any lag at all. Using the Tmobile one, it seems so slow that even my Nexus S can walk right by at times. I am seriously considering returning this and getting the htc Sensation or G2X. That's how much it bothers me.

Heck, if a fairly priced new in box Tmobile Android pops up on Craigslist, I will pick it up right away. 560 with tax for something that lags about the same as the Nexus S doesn't seem reasonable.

I know some folks are going to say benchmarks and all. But this is reality for me. I am currently using the S2 and the Sprint NS4G until the port finishes.

Oh and this morning, I did hit 23mbps on a speed test. But to be fair, it was 8am on a Sunday morning. I average anywhere from 3-17mbps where I live.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ap77:
Yep, this is pretty much the trade-off. With the optimizations going on over in the Dev threads, I have been able to get this phone to behave a fair amount more smoothly, but it's still pretty much a joke compared to the exynos versions.

On the other hand, my data speeds absolutely crush what I was getting with Sprint's wimax in NYC, so there you have it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 72chevy2k2:
I just moved over from the Sprint version today. I will agree that the Sprint version is snappier but the service was horrible, like 300kbytes average, no thanks i will deal with a very tiny bit of lag for better service.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TJBunch1228:
The higher the theoretical top speed, the higher the real-world speed. Bottom line is that the tmo version is faster thanks to the processor's ability to run faster and tmo's network being way faster than both Sprint and ATT.

And to the guy who is having lag issues, I'm sorry man, that's not normal at all. I came from both the Sensation and G2x and while the G2x was the faster of those 2, my Herc blows both away. Maybe try an exchange before you downgrade back to the Sensation or G2x?

This thread makes me sad I sold, my international exynos version for this

I was using it on att gophone $50 unlimited plan, getting 800 haha, which was ok for simple browsing.

Their prices are ridiculous so signing with.then is out of the question.

after owning it 3 months I sold it , and used the money to get this so I can be on a plan with high speed data

I miss hardware acceleration, and some games running very smoothly.

I liked the big screen, capacitive buttons, and Data speed.

I know I will get other phones and sell this eventually so I don't let it bother me......I try not to lol

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Krooked22:
it was a big deal for me at first, but for my needs it is plenty capable

I miss the high graphics, but realize that good games aren't made to run on one device. If a good game comes out, developers want that game to run well on all devices, so long as they meet the sudden requirements.

Maybe i'm wrong
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TJBunch1228:
My point was that if the extra couple milliseconds of lag in the tmo version vs the Exynos is bothersome, he is certainly in for an unpleasant surprise if he goes to something like the Sensation.

What he described is not my experience at all, so it would be worth an exchange to perhaps get a better GS2.

The OP is correct, these snapdragon processors, even clocked to 1.5GHz can't even run the game Doodle Jump without noticeable jitter and distortion while the AT&T & Sprint versions display it correctly and run it flawlessly. I invite everyone to try it for themselves, the proof is in the pudding. It's no coincidence that the Tmo versions score much lower as well to all those who say they don't matter.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
The processor isn't the issue! The issue is software based. Samsung didn't optimize the software enough for the processor. This can and will be fixed by both Samsung officially and the XDA devs unofficially.
