How to Flash

We are going to be using Odin in this explanation to flash the stock kernel to your phone.

Downloads

First you are going to want to start by downloading all the needed files onto your computer and then place them onto your Desktop.

Samsung Kies

Odin3-v1.85.zip

SGH-T989-UVKID-Insecure.tar

Process

Once you have everything downloaded and on your desktop, you are going to want to first install kies.

After this is done you should restart your computer for proper driver installation.

Next, extract Odin to a new folder on your Desktop. Leave the tar in the form it is.

Now, open up Odin by double clicking the .exe in the folder you extracted it to.

The most important step is now, you need to put your device into Download/ODIN mode so your computer will recognize it and be able to flash to it. To do this simply turn your phone off completely (or pull the battery). Then you are going to want to use the following button combination to force your device into download mode:

Now ODIN should have recognized your device ( it may take a while for the drivers to complete installation so don't panic the first time).

Lastly, we want to click on the PDA button and then search for the SGH-T989-UVKID-Insecure.tar we download earlier and placed on the Desktop.

If all of the above has taken place you are free to hit the Start button.

Done!

If all has gone well at this point the flash should be proven successful and your phone should reboot like normal.

If so, please feel pressured to give yourself a pat on the back, that was tough! :P

Read the OP it's to push files to /system so you don't have to flash
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bubby323:
No dude, that's what's included in the kernel. This is an Odin flashable kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Wildchld:
That's what I'm saying once you flash the kernel with odin you can push files to /system
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phewizzo:
This is permanent and doesnt have to keep being applied after you flash a new rom right?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] eschelon:
Below is a Mail.apk with exchange pin security disabled for Sense 3.5. This is for those who use exchange support who hate entering a pin every time they want to unlock their phone. Many HTC users use corporate exchanges that don't require a pin, yet HTC does not have an option to shut off the pin security. This is the solution. Also, this is only for Sense 3.5. If you are looking for a Sense 3.0 Mail.apk look here.

DISCLAIMER: If your place of employment's exchange policy requires the use of a pin, please be advised that use of this Mail.apk may be punishable up to termination of employment, as well as other possible legal action. This is only for those whose policy does not require a pin. I have also published a flashable StockMail.zip below which will get you back to stock (which includes pin security) if you run into any issues.

Only the pin security is disabled with this mod. All other EAS security (such as remote wipe, etc) is left fully intact.

INSTRUCTIONS (it's also never a bad idea to make a nandroid backup first):

For the Mail.apk

1) Download the attached Mail.apk

2) Mount the system as R/W (either using Root Explorer or 'adb remount')

3) Copy the new Mail.apk to system/app via root explorer and overwrite the older file when it asks, or push the file to system/app via adb

4) Set permissions as rw-r--r--

5) Reboot

6) After reboot, open up the Mail app and set up your exchange account all the way through naming the account, then hit 'Finish Setup'

7) You will be prompted to enable security policy... this is normal so hit 'OK'

8) You will get to another screen asking you to activate security policies... again, this is normal so select 'Activate'. From here on out you will never be prompted to enter a pin

For the PatchedMail.zip

1) Download the .zip and toss it on your SD card

2) Reboot into recovery

3) Install the .zip then reboot

4) Follow steps 6-8 above

If you have issues, try completely removing all your email accounts before installing. You can also try wiping cache in recovery.

NOTE: This only works with Sense 3.5, it will not work if trying to flash over the Sense 2.0/1 Mail.apk or the Sense 3.0 Mail.apk

Enjoy :)

The one I ran....meaning you can run it in recovery mode by selecting that zip file....doing the work for you if you dont have root explorer or something like that...

---------- Post added at 01:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------

Can someone else try this cannot get it to work....

Meaning I cannot get al my info in to setup, get:

EMAIL

PASSWORD

--> I have to do manual setup but does not matter if I hit manual, next window

EMAIL

PASSWORD

SERVER

DOMAIN

I am missing all the bottom part of the window for my NT username...so when I hit NEXT...it fails because I have no place to enter my username as in the past...my email address is not our username for AD

IGNORE FOLKS...... ITS half the screen I had to force it to scroll...... SO IGNORE my dumbness.....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] eschelon:
Mail.apk is for those who want to do it all manually with a root file explorer or adb and set permissions.

The PatchedMail.zip contains the exact same apk, but will do it for you automatically in recovery instead of you having to do it all manually.

The last "stock" file is also a flashable zip you can flash in recovery that will get you back to stock in case you ever want to get rid of the mod.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] parcou:
eschelon this works great and I am not going to change it....

Just curious to know if previously I have a custom icon for the mail that was not the white mail envelope icon (default) in the notification window....then replacing it with your sweet mail.apk file I lost that custom notification icon... where is the break that causes that...?

Just for knowledge I am keeping your file...? Thx my friend

Thx Esc.....!!!!!

Any chance you can make this for the AOSP Email app? I'm running CM7 and don't think this will work.

With sense 3.5 i get message saying the device does not support encryption when i try to connect to my exchange server. I don't get this with Sense 3.0. Is this something that can be removed too?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] labtec3:
I loaded InfectedROM Eternity and noticed it also bypasses the PIN requirement and allowed me to access my company exchange server without any problem. In my case I do not want to bypass the PIN due to our security policy so I loaded your "StockMail.apk" to return to stock however after reboot I get an error when adding the exchange account. I researched and found the following corrected the issue (text from my other thread).

Corrective actions for Exchange email after loading a HTC Sense 3.5 based ROM on an HTC Thunderbolt. I am currently using InfectedROM Eternity (with the stock mail.apk) but had the same issue with other ROMS. This probably is the same for any of the newer ROM's. My IT guy said others within the company had similar problems after buying a Sprint phone with newer ROM. Although there seems to be many reasons different phones will not work with exchange mail our particular problem was related to how the newer email.apk with stronger security integration reacts with exchange server. I noticed once setting up the ROM it would error after setting the PIN. The policy warning "details" read something to the effect "Remote Computer Access" required. I had our IT create a policy for me that included “Allow Internet Sharing from the device” and “Allow Remote desktop from the device”. This corrected the problem and all works fine now. It is likely only "Allow Remote desktop from the device" is required.

As I mentioned before the InfectedROM Eternity has a modified email.apk which does not require a PIN. This version will work (no PIN required) before the changes were made to our exchange server. I want to stay within our security policy so I downloaded a copy of "Stockmail.zip" onto the SD card, booted into recovery and loaded the zip file to overwrite the modified mail.apk file. Once the exchange server policy settings were changed all worked fine. My only concern is the IT guy will start freaking out and want to change me back to the other policy settings. I have searched but cannot find any modified version of the mail.apk that would correct just the remote access issue but leave the PIN requirement in place. Any help to find such a version or guidance on how to modify the mail.apk would be much appreciated.
[Nook Color General] loveubuntu:
I use the SD card method to have the nook boot into CM7 and when the SD card is pulled, the nook would be stock to be used by my kids. But I think I messed things up and can't restore. Here is what I have done:

1- I tried to update the stock version to 1.3 manually from B&N website but soon realized I could not. It seems like when in CM7, I had tried to flash CWM recovery (which was not needed and is pretty buggy in SD card method for nook). Now the recovery in emmc appears to be CWM.

2-for some stupid reason when I got into CMM recovery, I formatted boot, system,data and cache (not sure if I did boot also or not). My thinking was to flash a stock image and be fixed. But I am now stuck.

Is there a way to go back to stock on the nook? I am still able to boot into SD card and CM7 nightly. Oh ya, I use Linux Ubuntu not windows. TIA
[Nook Color General] jerrykur:
Sounds like you should get the system back to stock before proceeding any further.

Follow the instruction here: http://www.nookdevs.com/NookColor_UnRooting
[Nook Color General] loveubuntu:
The problem is that I get into the CWM recovery and not given the reset option following the options on that page. Any idea?

I think my problem is that I'm not really rooted in true sense since I was running off the SD card. Maybe I shoudl root properly, then unroot?
[Nook Color General] ponyboy82:
I did kind of the same thing once. I made an Sd card image with CWM on another sd card -- basically as if you are going to install CM7 to emmc. However, once you get to the point where you would flash Cm7, use the stock zip ROM. It will install that to emmc so it will be back to normal. You should then be good to go.
[Nook Color General] jerrykur:
If you follow the instructions you should be left with an unrooted initialized stock Nook Color. Register your account. Then you can wait for the NC to download the 1.3 update, or side load it. Once that is installed you have an unrooted 1.3 stock system.

From there you can try your CM7 card. Don't forget to remove your SD card at the very beginning since like a PC the NC will try to boot off the SD card if it is present.
[Nook Color General] loveubuntu:
when I follow the instruction, I am not given the factory reset option. I am stuck at the n screen. It flashed the read forever but then stuck at the n screen. Do I have to wait longer than 5 minutes?
[Nook Color General] loveubuntu:
None of this is mine, I owe it ALL to the threads mentioned below.

So as in many posts on XDA say, it's almost impossible to brick the Nook. What a great device. I had to format my SD card to use it to "un-brick" my nook but it was done. I Mainly used the info here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=949699

Burnt a bootable CWM image onto my SD card. It took a while doing it with dd in Linux. I'm sure it's the same in Windows or Mac. It took about 20-30 minutes. It also took a while to unzip/extract the img file from the downloaded file. Be patient

Then used the CWM recovery remover file from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=914690 to remove my CWM recovery and used the 1.0.1 file from same thread to flash the stock image onto the nook.

Once the SD card is ready, just drop those files in the root of the sd card. It should have 4 other files in it to boot into CWM recovery from the sd card and let you use the menus to flash those two zip files. It took a while but it's all in those threads. Thanks to the members. Now lets see if I can go up to 1.3 and then root it again.

you also need to do this

Any Charge users use widgetlocker?

I got this yesterday and ever since I installed it my phone lags and is choppy at random times. I'm even overclocked. I don't see how people can use this on a lesser phone than the Charge if it slows it down this much.

Anybody have similar experiences?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chitala383:
I used it on my d2, d2g, and now my charge and I've never had a problem.

It works great on my rooted Charge and my wife's unrooted Charge.

I'll give it another shot with easywake enabled. I am assuming that will get rid of the stock lock screen which will hopefully eliminate the weird lag and freezing I am experiencing.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chitala383:
I only have root helper enabled, always have. And looker i said it works flawlessly for me. I don't use easy wake or home helper
[Verizon Droid Charge] reineskye25:
just disable root helper because it slows down your phone. because everytime you turn the screen on widget locker always ask for root permission if the root helper is enabled. thats why it lags your phone.just disable root helper and you wont encounter problems :) this is a great app

Hi,

I can use my 16GB micro SD in the pad itself, but if I try to use a regular SD card it doesn't mount. Not even if I remove the micro SD. Is this a known issue, or is it just something with mine?

Cheers!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyskmaster:
of what capacity is the regular sd card? I think (might be wrong) that the dock doesn't support certain capacities of cards. I have only ever used a microsd card in an adapter in the dock and that worked fine. Have you tried a reboot with the card in? can you see it in the file manager at all? I found that, when I can't mount a card, that switching file managers will work about 95% of the time.

I hope that helped a little bit
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diverso:
Hi everyone,

I recently rooted my phone and it worked great but then I began to notice that the screen was leaning towards the right. I was worried so i unrooted the phone and installed an official firmware and kernal. It still didn't solve the problem so I tried a few firmware and Kernals but still have the issue. I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S2 Jig but haven't got it yet, do you think this will solve the issue? if not can someone please advise as to what I should do? it's a new phone and I should never have rooted it :(

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.

[Desire General] That-Guy:
OK I downloaded the Gingerbread RUU Update for the Desire and ran it, the update went fine and said on the screen it had completed correctly.

BUT!! Now when I turn the phone on I sometimes get to the Lockscreen if I am lucky and the phone just reboots or other times the phone reboots after the HTC splash screen.

I have tried running the update again and even re-downloading the update but it makes no difference. I have also gone into the HTC Recovery and selected "Clear Storage" but does not help

Also tried booting without Memory Card or Sim Card but no dice :(

Anyone know what else I can try?

Details about the phone:

- Bravo PVT3 SHIP S-ON

- HBOOT 1.02.0001

- RADIO 5.17.05.23

Any possible solutions would be great :confused:
[Desire General] Terepin:

There you go. Unfortunately I can't help you with that. Wait for someone more skilled in this area.
[Desire General] davebugyi:
Branded O2 phone? Possible.

Run Revolutionary.io = Root/S-OFF

Then flash 2.2 Official or if you want, then flash a Custom Rom with 2.3.
[Desire General] That-Guy:
Will revolutionary connect to phone if it wont boot into Android?

Will it work from Bootloader / Fastboot?
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Yes, it will. Read revolutionary documentary page.
[Desire General] That-Guy:
Right I maybe being stupid but can't find anything on the Revolutionary Wiki Page about using it in Recovery Mod?

Also I have a working desire which revolutionary detects when android is loaded but the desire that has the failed Gingerbread update (and bootloops) does not get detected in Bootloader or Fastboot mode.

Which stage should revolutionary detect the phone?
[Desire General] Terepin:
It should in Fastboot.
[Desire General] That-Guy:
Tried my working and non-working desire but Revolutionary does not detect the phones when they are in fastboot mode.

The working Desire gets detected when Android has booted up and "USB Debugging" is enabled.

Any other ideas? :(
[Desire General] kokocabana:
you might need htc's usb drivers for the pc to detect the phone
[Desire General] That-Guy:
My working Desire gets detected as I have already said, but only when Android is booted.

This is a problem for the phone that bootloops and I am trying to fix as it doesn't make it into Android :(

Also none of the guides say about using Revolutionary from within Fastboot Mode. Is it defiantly possible?
[Desire General] That-Guy:
Right made a little progress!

Managed to run Revolutionary by booting in Safe Mode (Holding Menu while booting)

Next problem is no matter what ROM I try and use they just reboot while booting :(

- Tried the Stock 2.2 ROM from Modaco but it just reboots.

- Then Updated Radio to latest 5.17.05.23.

- Switched to AlphaRev CM7 r2 HBOOT.

- Tried installing the latest CM7 but that just reboots on boot too.

Have been Wiping Data / Cache and Factory Resetting before installing each ROM but cannot get one to boot correctly.

Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?
[Desire General] andQlimax:
Revolutionary requires that ur phone boot correctly in order to s-off

Just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone for the ideas, the phone is now working correctly.

This was the process I used to get the phone working again after failed RUU Update (phone was bootlooping and had no Recovery with S-ON)

- Booted into Safe Mode (holding Menu Button while booting)

- Ran Revolutionary to gain S-OFF

- Flashed AlphaRev Bravo CM7 r2 using Fastboot

- Flashed Latest ClockworkMod using Fastboot

- Booted into Clockwork and Wiped Data and Cache

- Still in Clockwork Formatted all Partitions (System, Data, Cache, Boot etc..)

- Downloaded latest CyanogenMod copied to SD Card and Installed via Clockwork

Phone is now fully functional so Thanks Everyone :)
