Thanks for your reply could i just flash it throught CWM then type commands in Terminal Emulator im on my works pc at the moment and could i partition my ext with CWM also im trying not to loose any apps
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Never tried it in terminal but i don't see why not, give it a go! btw you will need doomlords custom kernel with init.d support for this to work, it's from the arc section and i havent tried it on 2.3.4 yet :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noojster:
Will it be a help if you use Link2sd? Its free on appmarket..

Ive tried it and had no problem :)

It only moves new and existing apps to the ext3 partition I made. Not system ones just to be safe. After removal of bloatware my internal memory is intact and stable in 250mb free, all consisting of system files. Apps are all on the ext partition. Not having any slowdown at all.

im using 16gb class 4 sd card with 900mb as ext :D

I have strange problem ;

Whenever I chose GSM Only (not auto or CDMA) network under Mobile network, phone loses network and become out of service.. (after 1-2 minutes.. especially if you have call or data is enabled)

HSPA /3G networks works perfectly..

- I am in Europe / Belgium and using JVT..

- I tested both custom and stock kernels, flashed several times including re-partition option but did not help..

anybody else has same problem?

Could you test GSM Only for 30 min with data enabled please?

thanks in advance.

Can not confirm your problem.

Was about s few days on GSM only due to battary reasons, had never problems with network.

temporary you can make phone use GSM only using this method [REF] WORKING: How to disable HSPA / HSDPA for better battery life

but you should reflash phone with a firmware containing your national CSC product code made for Gingerbread

(and maybe use modem from it also to be 100% sure)

here is latest Turkce firmware -> http://hotfile.com/dl/121333235/3c914b9/I9000JVJV9_OJVJV9_JXJV6.rar.html

take MODEM and CSC from this package and CODE from JVT - this should work

then after flash change Produc Code to Turkish one and it should work perfectly

[Motorola Droid Bionic] ROB281:
I loved the blacked out apps that were on the experience add on for the Unl3ash3d rom, and was wondering if there was a way to get a black out theme that will black out all apps, or is that something that I would need to do on my own, and if so can someone point me in the right direction as for what I will need to theme out the rom myself.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
The ADW Faded theme makes all app icons black and white and translucent.

Open the zip, and just delete the framework folder leaving the apps only. Flash that ****.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] ROB281:
What will that do?, I've never modified anything for myself before like that so I will definitely be in uncharted territory.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] DroidTh3ory:
It will flash just the Blackout apps only. Unzip the Blackout package, in there you will see 2 folders Meta.inf and system. Open system and in there you will see 2 folders, app and framework. Delete the framework folder and in the app folder delete the systemUI.apk.

Go back yo where you have the Meta.inf and system folder again. Highlight a box around those 2 ONLY and right click/compress/zip. Drop that new zip on your SD Card, wipe cache and dalvik ONLY. Flash it.

Need some help with VooDoo sound. I have Bionix v and DoW 221 and I installed VooDoo control. VooDoo control shows ver 2.1.1 with lagfix enabled but says " this device doesn't run a kernel supporting extended sound controls".

I show: firmware ver 2.2.1, baseband KB1, kernel ver 2.6.32.9, build number nerov4 w/DoW 2.2.1 By Team Whiskey.

I downloaded dow directly to phone and flashed with CMR. I installed VooDoo controls from marketplace.

What am I missing?
[Vibrant General] Mr. Apocalypse:
Update to a more updated froyo kernel, the up-to-date TeamWhiskey kernels are Bali, Bali-X, and Immortality, other favorites are OverStock and Bullet from EDT. These kernels are guaranteed to have Voodoo Sound, i thought DoW did, but you may have an older version.
[Vibrant General] scooter421:
Thank you Mr. A for the information. Unfortunatly I tried to flash another kernal last night-project core 1.2-and must have missed a step or did something out of the natural order things are supposed to go and now I have the dreaded phone-triangle-computer screen. After trying many times I could not get my phone into download mode. My computer shows something from samsung is connected to it but I can't see the memory cards. I tried to odin but no recognintion. Ialso tried to flash clockwork back on using zadig then heimdall. Zadig installed the driver and Heimdall said uploading kernal but then just stopped. I ordered a jig from TW. Hoping for the best. I don't have the equipment to perform the UnBrickable Mod or the time. Any suggestions other than I have a nifty paperweight?
[Vibrant General] Mr. Apocalypse:
Project Core is a VERY, VERY old kernel and i think it was only for 2.1. You're not really bricked though you just flashed a 2.1 kernel to a 2.2 rom, you should be able to get into download mode and reflash a froyo kernel. Have your tried?:

1. Remove the battery and put it back in to ensure its off

2. Open Odin on PC, connect USB to PC, but not phone

3. While holding both Volume buttons and nothing else, plug USB into phone

4 Phone should go to Download mode, and if your have correct drivers installed, Odin will recognize

We've talked to Viralblack many times about removing those old kernels and roms from the homepage, we'll bug him some more about it. But once you get back up and running, make sure you flash a kernel that is supported for the rom you have. Good luck!
[Vibrant General] scooter421:
Mr. A,

You are a god, I bow down to you. I am odined by to stock. Thank you. I had'nt thought to check the drivers. I reinstalled from Kies then tried what you suggested. Worked like a charm and done in less than 5 min. Up and running. Whoo Hoo!

[Vibrant General] Mr. Apocalypse:
Team Whiskey is still around, but from what i hear, Sombionix is returning to dev, but will not be deving on the Vibrant anymore. Most of the team has left the Vibrant scene, but there are a few of us that still have ours. I still use mine and will continue to dev kernels on the vibrant for a little while longer, but sadly i can't dev roms to save my life. I would've personally loved to continue the Frost project, but like i said, i suck at rom deving. We're still around, but can i promise anything from us for the Vibrant anytime soon? Most likely no.

I am surprised just a little they found founds they considered an upgrade(I'm assuming), personally I am holding out for tmo's ICS variant of the nexus.. till then I have been trying to do research into how to develop, but sadly I have been limited to links from this section, which the resources don't explain the WHY part at all or very little.. I have always had a natural ability with technology so I am confused why I'm not seeing anything useful to help me figure out what I can do..

Which brings up a question, how did you get into working on kernels? Do you have any resources that you could share? I'm going to keep looking into the rom part, but until I find the missing link I could use some stuff to play around with..

Glad you are still around, team whisky was a major part of the evolution of these phones :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sooby77:
Hi,

I am with AT&T in the US and recently bought the Galaxy S2. My device happens to be a French version. My firmware is

PDA: KG1 / PHONE: KG1 / CSC: KG2 (XEF). It's 2.3.3.

I'm not happy with my HSPA+ data connection. While streaming online radio in moving car, it would cut out and constantly buffer. Seems like the data stream is not reconnecting quickly enough whenever there's handoff. This has never happened in my old webOS Pre Plus. The streaming on the same route that I drive daily on the Pre Plus was never an issue.

I don't want to mess with flashing to a different ROM (yet), but is it possible to just replace/flash the baseband only? Perhaps I can try the official ATT baseband? I did a search and am overwhelmed with the amount of info on XDA. I appreciate you help. Thank you. :o
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhernand1102:
You will need to root it to be able to install different modems using CWM recovery or you can use Odin to do it with out root if you can find modem packaged for Odin, as for the AT&T modem while it will work okay for data your call quality will be terrible so it is not really an option for an international version SGS2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sooby77:
jhernand1102 - Thanks for your quick reply! I've done some flashing before on other devices, so I'm not totally unfamiliar with the process. So it is possible to install a different modem without completely flashing to a different ROM? I see that you're in the US. Can you suggest a modem? What do you use?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackTheMan18:
I was recently in the US and used my SG II on AT&T without any issues.

I have rooted XXKH3 - with Lite'ning Rom V6.1
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Yes, it is possible to flash another modem file to your phone.

The easiest way of doing so is to flash it as zip file via CWM.

But you can also flash the modem.bin file (extract the zip file first) via Odin (in PHONE section).

Here are two links to the latest modem files:

1. => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1277593&highlight=Modem+XXKI3

But you need CWM to flash this Modem zip files.

2. => http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17967764&postcount=5

Same here, but you can extract the Modem.bin file out of the zip file and flash it using (Phone section in) Odin.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sooby77:
Thanks It_ler. I think your links were truncated, and as a result, it's not coming up. I have Odin on my computer. In your view, is it better to use Odin or CWM?

JackTheMan18 - I don't have issues with voice calls on ATT, but it's the HSPA+ connection when streaming is what I'm not happy about.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Sorry about the truncated links - now repaired.

Searched myself in this forum and while copying&pasting ... something went wrong.

I don't have a personal prefer ... Odin or CWM ?!

If your phone is rooted and you already have CWM, it is the easiest way to flash modem zip file using CWM.

As I am running on CF-Root kernel which has installed CWM Manager app, I would flash the modem zip file using CWM.

But normally, I choose my ROM and modem and CSC before flashing ... and then I flash all the files I want together at once via Odin.

So, it's up to you !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sooby77:
It_ler - Thank you so much! You've been incredibly helpful! Since you are so knowledgeable, I hope you might be able to answer this follow up question. As I indicated, I'm stuck on the French 2.3.3 ROM.

1. Can I just flash a 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 stock ROM without rooting but using ODIN? Will that be a clean wipe or will it just upgrade and keep all my app and settings?

2. Will doing so prevent Kies from offering me future updates? I don't care about CSC, in fact, half the French customizations on my unit don't work here in the US. My first SGS2 unit that was defective was an UK version (I assume so because it came installed with the BBC app).

3. What's a good stock ROM to put on?

You are awesome! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
I thought that you already knew about the basics, but here they are:

a) To get familiar with flashing ROMs / kernels / etc., find official firmwares, stock kernels, etc. and to learn the "manual" rooting method, read the first post of Intratech's thread => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278.

Official firmwares are in the second post, and Frankenstein versions (which can be combined with any other modem and/or CSC) are in the third post.

Every ROM is non-wipe - except Intratech has explicitly written that it is a "wipe" version.

Flashing is by using Odin and does not require root.

But Intratech has added a Quick Rooting Guide, just in case you need it.

b) To find the easiest way of rooting, please stick to Chainfire's CF-Root thread => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root.

There you learn to root your phone and get ClockWorkMod (CWM) Manager app with CWM recovery mode, system backup&recovery feature, flashing other kernels and zip files, etc..

Nothing to bother. I just flashed CF-Root kernel because it is so easy and I wanted to be able to backup my system.

Now I can answer your questions:

1. Yes, stick to Intratech's description and use a non-wipe ROM to flash using Odin (PDA section).

2. As KIES will only recognize and update official/stock ROMs available in/for your region, flashing any other ROM or kernel will prevent KIES from doing so.

But I don't care too. Flashing with Odin is very easy, fast and as stable as the ROM you are flashing.

I stick to the official/stock ROMs provided by Intratech - they have always doing fine for me.

3. I recommend the latest Frankenstein ROM, which is actually XWKJ1 (which I am running now).

It is Android 2.3.5, good balance between performance and battery life, excellent modem (XXKI3) and you can combine it with any other modem or CSC for your region and/or provider.

Just put this ROM in PDA, your modem in PHONE and your CSC in CSC section of Odin and flash all at once.

If you will find the descriptions and/or files helpful, please remember to push the Thanks button for Intratech and Chainfire, as they both do a great job for all of us.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sooby77:
Wow! It_ler - thank you for all the great info! Just a quick question. Does XWKJ1 have any issues. For example, does google video chat still work?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
I did not recognize any issue yet.

But Google Talk is without Video chat.

You can replace it with a leaked Talk app with Video chat enabled.

Just have a look here => http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-install-google-talk-1.3-with-video-chat-on-any-android-phone-root-only/

But you have to use CWM recovery mode to install it.

I did not use ROM-Manager as described, I used CWM Manager (of CF-Root) to install it.

Please remember to wipe cache partition and dalvik cache as described.

And make a system backup before ... Just in case ...

Good luck!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sooby77:
I was able to install XXKI3 radio. It didn't make a difference. Turns out that I needed to disable fast dormancy. The data connection seems more stable. I will have to test it out further on Monday. In regards to Frankensteinrom XWKJ1, is it already rooted?

If I discover problem on my end with that Frankensteinrom, can I flash back to official ROM without wipe? Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Neither official nor Frankenstein versions are rooted.

If you want to Root, follow the instructions of Intratech or Chainfire to do so.

You can flash back to an Official ROM.

If you want to flash without wipe, you have to use a non-wipe version.

So, no problem with most of the versions from Intratech's thread.
