[LG Thrill 4G] Saia-:
I think I found my issue, I have lately been trying to 'Flash Current ROM'.

It had seemed that my Thrill 4G didn't save a backup in the ClockworkMod folder.

I had done some research and found out this might be my problem for not paying attention.

So is there a way I can flash ClockworkMod for Thrill 4G without having to use an LGE Optimus V version?
[LG Thrill 4G] kiltedthrower:
Did you look in the development section? There's a huge thread on clockworkmod recovery and flashing.

You can't use the Clockworkmod app.
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
There is currently no cwm for the Thrill. We only have a partially ported version. Which works well enough on its own for flashing directly from recovery. It still has a lot of quirks but its enough for the basics.
[LG Thrill 4G] rydeN-:
Cool. Could I maybe get this? Or could you assist me?

I tried the Clockwork Mod thing in Android Development LG Thrill.

I'm an older adb user and am familiar with it. But that was WAY difficult.

Could you give me a link or an easy way to use CWM for Thrill?
[LG Thrill 4G] kiltedthrower:
That's the only way.
[LG Thrill 4G] rydeN-:
I need help getting it done, could I ask your assistance? Maybe Team viewer 5 or something?
[LG Thrill 4G] rydeN-:
Couldn't I just flash a ROM from ROM Manager without the backup? I watched a buddy do it.
[LG Thrill 4G] kiltedthrower:
What part do you need help with?
[LG Thrill 4G] rydeN-:
I just need help getting it done.

I have no clue how to work ADB. The last time I used it was when HTC Hero came out.

I'd appreciate so much and could try and assist you in any way.
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
You need cwm to use rom manager. They're a pair. If you pm me your msn I can help you get cwm installed.

Once you have cwm Power off the phone. Then hold these three buttons simultaneously: VOLUME DOWN+3D+POWER. As soon as the phone starts to power on release the POWER button only. Hold the volume down+3D buttons until cwm boots up. From there backing up/restoring and flashing zips is fairly straight forward. Most rom threads have cwm instructions for flashing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fasst:
Quite a few installed, and stock, apps loads itself after boot.

In my case, stock:

Stock internet browser

Google Search

Settings

Gallery

Messages

Installed:

Titanium Backup

Script Manager

I don't use widgets from any of these and I see no reason why I should they should run, in my case.

I don't want to freeze them and wonder if Startup Manager, or any other apps is of any use or doesn't it do any good. Startup Manager is like msconfig in win7. You can tick off apps you don't want to run. But, of course, Startup Manager has to run un boot.

Any views on this?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helsinki98:
Hello,

been abit of a lurker but had a quick question.

I plan to use my htc desire hd as a wireless router to provide sky go streaming on my xbox 360.

This is using the internet pass through on the phone from my desktop (basically providing me with a good internet connection and not using my mobile internet) and then using the wifi hotspot feature to provide a connection for my xbox

Will this cause any damage to my phone? I don't plan to do it for a long time but untill I pick up a wireless router. A wired connection is not possible.

Tldr: will pro longed use of the wifi hotspot feature cause any damage to my phone?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze599:
It shouldnt do but beware of overheating. The hotspot feature uses quite a bit of power and will increase the heat output of the phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateusm:
You'll definitively notice battery drain, and like raze599 said, beware of overheating, specially if you are overclocking.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stonefox:
When I read in various forums, I read that many have the ability to update their phone to 2.3.5. I'm still running with 2.3.3 and examine every day there's a new update. I connect my phone to Kies or I put the phone to see whether there is a software update - but no.

What is it that makes some can update and others can not?

My phone was purchased without subscription to any mobile operator.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSniperFan:
Short answer:

KIES is crap.

Slightly longer answer:

For some reason this software is unreliable. I had exactly the same problem when I wanted to flash a stock rom back on my phone. I got the oldest one available on the Web and wanted to update it using KIES. But it didn't work.

My suggestion:

Find the update you're waiting for here on xda and flash it with Odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stonefox:
Is it equally safe to use Odin, and how do I ensure that it is the real "file" I use -
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSniperFan:
If you follow the instructions it works safely. The best is to compare the screenshot on the thread with your actual window before flashing. Odin has some features you don't want to use like the "pit-file". However it's said multiple times that you should never flash it unless strictly told to do so, what stock firmwares don't.

So just check everything twice and you're good to go.

You know whether you have the right update if you have a look at this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

So unless you live in India, a firmware with the Indian letter-code is wrong for you.

Just get the most recent, official one available for you region, read the instructions carefully and forget about KIES. KIES needs longer to recognize my phone than Odin needs to update it. I think that reason is enough to uninstall KIES and use Odin instead.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
+1 forget upgrading with keis. Go with Odin and intratechs firmware.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rambo6:
How to Upadate

a site www.sammobile.com has all the latest official ROMs for all the Samsung phones. These ROMs do not require rooting or anything. Though these are "official" they might not be perfect by they offer the latest Samsung has to offer.

I never update with Kies. Learn to use Odin. Usually, the ROMs on www.sammobile.com have the appropriate version of ODIN attached as well as any PIT file that is necessary.

Spend some time learning how to flash with ODIN. I've flashed both my Samsung phones 10s of times with no problem whatsoever.

The great thing about buying an international version of the Samsung phones is that there are software updates at least monthly and sometimes twice a month (posted on sammobile.

Samsung got a bad rap for being slow to update it's software a couple years ago. That has changed. I consider them the best now and buy Samsung Phones over HTC primarly for this reason.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stonefox:
I have install "Android CSC Select" and the only one I can see is "XEF", is this because I have en international firmware in my phone right now ?

I'm from Denmark sow why can't I see the NEE for scandinavian ?

I am very unsure about which file I need when I update with "odin" ..

Is there a good and safe program that allowsme to take a backup of the firmware I have now so I can use if all goes wrong?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSniperFan:
There are, but they require root-permissions to run.

As for the firmware. Take a look at your system information, at which firmware you have installed right now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stonefox:
I am very unsure about which file I need when I update with "odin" ..

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSniperFan:
I took the time to install and test both firmwares (the one you have right now and the one I think to be the proper one for you now) on my Phone.

Worked nicely.

Here is what firmware I took and why:

Your "Baseband Version" is:

I9100XXKG1

Your "Kernel Version" is:

blah....

I9100XWKG1

...blah

And your "Sales Code" is:

XEF

This is the following firmware on Intratech's thread:

The updated firmware is this one:

Note that it has the "XEU" Sales Code instead of the "XEF" Sales Code.

However, if you scroll down you can see:

So what you do is:

Download the first file (.exe ~ 276mb)

Download the second file (.exe ~ 14,9mb)

Extract them both (you get a ~ 539mb .tar.md5 and a ~ 33mb .tar file)

Make sure

KIES does not run

(not in the tray as well)

Put your Galaxy S2 in download mode and confirm that you know what you're doing

Start Odin and connect your phone

Click on "PDA" and select the ~ 539 mb ".tar.md5"-file

Click on "CSC" and select the ~ 33 mb ".tar"-file

Make sure that

only the following 4 checkboxes are checked

(Auto Reboot; F. Reset Time; PDA, CSC)

Wait until "ID:COM" has an entry and becomes yellow (entry like: 0:[COM12])

Click on "Start" and wait untill it finishes

Disconnect your phone once it reboots

Report back if it works :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stonefox:
The links to the 2 files I should download does not work.

What is the reason that I also need to install a CSC file (I'm just curious)? and the files you reference makes it possible to run my phone in Danish?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSniperFan:
You find them in Intratech's thread I posted earlier.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

The CSC is the contry specific code and contains info for your mobile network. To keep it simple, just flash both. Otherwise you'd have to set up your mobile network manually.

PS:

I ran both firmwares on danish when I tested them. ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stonefox:
Before I start I would like to hear whether you use a backup program that makes it easy to restore programs and settings after the opdate ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSniperFan:
You don't need to wipe data (at least I didn't and the settings weren't reset). So you shouldn't have any problems. You're not flashing an entirely different rom, just an updated version of the same.

I don't know, doesn't KIES have some sort of backup function? Besides that your contacts, calender and google-mail can be synced with your google-account.

Anyway, if you want proper backups, you'll need to root you phone.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Taraen:
Hi,

I have a little question about a feature of the Samsung Galaxy Note. I saw a video in which AndroidPIT presented a really cool app called "S Memo". I wanted to ask if it is possible to port this app to our phone.

Here is the video, where you can see what he is doing.

The app is shown between 5:25 and 8:20.

[YOUTUBE]DkT7au4y7U8[/YOUTUBE]

The most interresting feature I think is the possibility to insert pictures, photos, clip arts or even maps (beginning at 6:35).

Have a nice day

Taraen
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Possible as all apk's fall under compatibility list. Only problem is the touch/stylus difference.

The phone reads the stylus and then responds. The stylus emits a different sort of touch base compared to the human touch. So writing would be somewhat, impossible unless that app supports writing with your finger.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Taraen:
Okay, thank you very much for your answer.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bangalorerohan:
Dude,

You have a stylus-thing for i9000 also, right? Heard that can work as a stylus for our phone,right?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Taraen:
I don't own a stylus. Most stylus pens for capacitive displays on amazon are those with a rubber tip. I've heard that they work but they are bad to handle.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] wardfan220:
And when used to capture signatures on my work tablet they look horrible. Not sure if It's the design or the stylus with the rubber tip, but it looks bad, LOL.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brutuspa:
Most of the ROMs described as "stock" seem to refer to including all bloat, but also are deodexed and rooted - obviously not stock in that regard.

Do "stock" ROMS have the ability to receive OTA or Kies updates? I'm not sure why I'd want to, but I want to better understand my options. I guess once (if ?) GB comes out from Samsung/T-Mobile, I want to try it, before going back to Valhalla or some other better ROM - just to be familiar with the baseline.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
There are only a few stock ROMs that I've seen on here that are true stock (all bloat, no root, not deodexed).

Yes, if Samsung releases a ROM you can receive it via OTA or over Kies; I've done both. So you have either option.

If you're really looking for a true stock rom, I believe there's a KC1 ROM either mentioned in the bible or in the developer's forum. Once you use that, you're total stock & would be able to upgrade to KD1 using either OTA or Kies, just to test it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brutuspa:
I installed the KC1 in the bible. It is deodexed and has busybox, but isn't rooted. Kies doesn't seem to work (I assume, based on the screen below), OTA, well how do I know if that works unless it works :).

D'Oh - this phone was a replacement, and I never registered it. Would that prevent Kies from working? I'll try that next.

I guess I just want to know how come back into the T-Mobile support fold if I ever wanted to, though I'm not sure why I'd want to.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Yeah, I had to register mine after it was replaced to get Kies to work. There's a stock KC1 out there...give me a minute. I really should bookmark that. LOL
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brutuspa:
I registered, but that may take some to process. I did find this ("factory" KB5):

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/669-odin-rom-stock-image-kb5-with-root-for-the-galaxy-s-4g/

Maybe that will do the trick?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Seems I can't find it either. From what I've read, though, you can flash this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=978836) then use SuperOneClick to unroot it. After that, you can probably use Kies or OTA to update it to the latest official release.

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

LOL, same file as the one I was pointing you to. Let me know how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brutuspa:
Much closer now.

1) Odined KB5-Custom

2) SuperOneClick to remove root

3) Kies sees there's an upgrade, but fails with "Handle:1836730, x:692, y:287, width 537, height:466"

4) OTA says no firmware, but I don't have cell service at the house, will "come off the mountain" later today.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Great to hear it. Not sure about the Kies error, man, but once you have service you should be able to receive the OTA.

If not, you can always download a stock KD1 that's rooted and use SuperOneClick to unroot it, too.

Good luck :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
I think you could also Odin RaverX3X's KC1 and do an OTA update with that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brutuspa:
I never got anything OTA (only waited 12 hours). I got Kies working on 32-bit XP (my machine is 64-bit Win7, and I read there are problems, specifically with IE9 installed, for some reason).

Let's see how long I can stand stock. Maybe until an official GB release comes? LOL.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I'm running Kies on Win7 64-bit with no problem & have IE 9 installed. Just to verify I launched it a second ago and it reached out and updated itself to version 1.0.0.11051_4. Who knows what the problem is?

When you did Kies on the XP machine did it update you to KD1?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brutuspa:
I got the same upgrade when I launched Kies Mini, but when it came time to apply the upgrade to KD1, I got the alert above. On XP, it all went off without a hitch, and i am running stock KD1.

So who knows what's wrong with Kies on my Win7x64, but by originally goal was accomplished - go from rooted ICBINB back to a Kies-able phone so I can get the KK1 GB when Samsung releases it. Kl1? LA1?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Good work, man. I know it was a journey. Best of luck :)
