He found the code to boot into bml8 recovery.

hop in to adb or terminal and type reboot arm11_fota

bml8's fota.rc: reboot arm11_fota (three finger method)
bml4, bml5 or bml12's baseband processor & modem.bin delta updater: reboot arm9_fota
bml7's init.rc: adb reboot factory_reboot or reboot
bml7's recovery.rc: reboot recovery
bml4 or bml5 bootloader mode: reboot bootloader (doesn't work)
bml4 or bml5 loke mode aka download mode: reboot download

It need to be patched in the kernel to change the recovery mode to bml8's FOTA.rc and not bml7's recovery.rc

So what does this mean?
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Honestly how reliable is this cuz everytime I use the power option for reboot I always have fc's on boot then I have to reflash rom?
[Epic 4G General] shane6374:
It means that the reboot redirect will actually boot to cw recovery.
[Epic 4G General] loverppc:
good news

so epic can reboot to cwm recovery by poweroff menu?

Every time I attempt to update the PRL/Profile/Android/Firmware, I get this message:

"The PRL update could not be completed. Please try again later.

If the problem persists, you may need to contact Customer Service.

Error: No Service Error"

I have made sure that everything on the device is "unfrozen" through Titanium Backup, that all original files are in place, and I have not removed any "extra" fluff from the ROM. I have an airave at home, and I currently have 4 bars, so "lack of service" shouldn't be an issue.

I am rooted, however, I am running stock kernel, and stock ROM.

Is anyone else having this issue? If they aren't, what can I do to verify that everything is configured correctly on the phone (Proxy, Pound Code Menu Settings, etc)?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ioos:
I don't know this for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if you can't update your Profile/PRL over the Airave. Go outside and try it. If that doesn't work maybe reset your data.

[Galaxy S II General] ewokuk:
ok basically i bought the phone second hand with lite'ning 1.4 on it and the wifi worked perfectly ok all the time. Since it was very old i updated it to 6.1. ever since then I have had issues with the wifi. it will connect perfectly fine to the router but i have no connectivity from it, nothing will get any net access at all. This is also not 100% of the time, its MOST of the time but not all, i do have moments where it does work fine. very very odd.

I have since tried updating the kernel to ninpho 2.1.3 from the 2.0.5 that comes with lite'ning 6.1, but that made no difference.

Someone suggested i try a wifi fix app from the market so i downloaded "FXR wifi fix and rescue" and ran that. It ran ok, wiped all my wifi settings and i restarted, but it has not solved the problem at all.

i find it very very odd since if it was a problem with the kernel OR the rom then everyone would surely have exactly the same problem. I know some people report wifi issues but most dont seem to.

anyone have any other ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
The odd thing is that it worked before the update. That means that it will most likely be software related.

You could try flashing something totally different like MIUI or CM. They provide kernels too, so this might resolve it, if your kernel and rom don't "like each other". This usually shouldn't happen, but updates breaking wifi shouldn't too. So it might be worth a try.
[Galaxy S II General] ewokuk:
if i went to something completely different i assume i would have to factory reset the phone to wipe it first? (or factory reset it AFTER installing the new rom?)

was trying to avoid wiping it as i dont want to spend endless hours setting up everything again. i have backed it up with the free titanium but id still like to not have to find out whether the restore actually puts everything back properly :P

its very odd as its not completely broken, sometimes it does actually work, and it always connects to the router itself without any problem.
[Galaxy S II General] bruflot:
Probably wrong modem for you, flash another one. You can find modems in the developement section.
[Galaxy S II General] ewokuk:
ok thanks I will have a look at that. It is currently on XXKH3 which is what came with lite'ning 6.1. i am confused though, all SGS2 hardware is identical so if this modem in 6.1 is causing this issue, wouldnt it affect every sgs2 that uses that modem?

I found the "shipped modem collection" post in the original development thread so have asked in there which modem i should try.

ok apparently i should try XXKI3. for o2 UK provider.

although i have now read that wifi is not managed by modem but by kernel only. if this is true then modem will not help me
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
Well, if the wifi is not managed by the modem, try what I proposed you earlier. The simplest would be to flash CM. Make a backup of your current rom, then do a full wipe and install CM.

As for your data:

1. Titanium backup restores your apps with their data (if you wish). That means that, for example, your games will keep their saves, other apps their settings and so on.

2. Assuming that you have a google-account, you don't have to worry about your contacts, calender,... Just sync it before you flash.

3. The backup you make in CWM will backup everything in case CM doesn't work for you.

In case it does work and you'll want to keep it, the other two other parts of your backup will minimize the remaining work. Note that you shouldn't restore "standard"-apps like the media-player or the SMS-app if titanium backup tells you that the app is not currently installed on your fresh CM. This means that CM uses it's own media player or SMS app. It could lead into problems to mix TouchWiz apps with CM.

A side-note:

Don't use the "stable" version. It had more bugs than expected and they made it a RC again. However, it is still in the stable folder. Get the latest nightly.
[Galaxy S II General] ewokuk:
yep i think it is kernel. just noticed that 1.4 had cf-root, 6.1 had ninph 2.0.5 and i then tried ninph 2.1.3 and both ninph's have had the issue. i just tried speedmod k2-13 as i already had that downloaded and so far the wifi has been ok so hopefully thats it fixed. i guess it was something to do with ninph (i am thinking that because i have it set to sleep the wifi when the screen is off that somehow ninph is not handling this properly).

possibly one good thing to come of it all, ive updated the modem to KI3 which is supposedly the best one for o2 UK so i may even save more battery and speedmod is meant to be really good for battery too. I still have lite'ning on it at the moment.

i might have a look at CM anyway but i do kinda like lite'ning (although i havent actually used anything else since the phone came with it!)

also need to look at wakelocks to see if i can save some more, although not sure how i go about 'fixing' them at the moment :P
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
The choice between CM, MIUI and the stock mods is the choice between three different UI's.

I've had all three of them for some time. As you got CWM, you can just create a backup and do a sightseeing tour through the world of custom roms. Believe me, it's absolutely worth it. To get an idea of the main differences, I've written a short overview for you:

Stock mods use Samsung's TouchWiz. The default user interface that you get when buying a Samsung Android phone. So it mostly looks and "feels" the same and you can't do much about it.

CyanogenMod gives you the pure Android user interface. It's the closest to the Nexus phones by google, but gives you some extras. It is much more customizable than stock roms. It's sleek and fast.

MIUI is a whole different story. They're "Redefining Android". I think calling MIUI an "Android custom rom" is an understatement. It's an entire OS. The result of putting the best from iOS and Android into one powerful OS. It adds tons of useful(!) features. If you've ever used Windows Phone 7 or an iPhone, you know what a big step forwards Android is when it comes to features. Switching from Android to MIUI is just like that. There is just so much more. It is BY FAR the most customizable Android you can get.

Wow. If I look at how long the texts are, I see that I'm pretty biased. :O

Well maybe because I've switched so often between them. The stock roms had no chance, because after I used one of the others I found out that TouchWiz doesn't cut it anymore. I hate how "iPhone-ish" MIUI is, but if I flash CyanogenMod I just miss so much. Giving you a list of what MIUI adds would be another long post of this length. :D
[Galaxy S II General] ewokuk:
cool thanks will have a look at MIUI at some point.

spoke too soon earlier, the wifi is maybe slightly better on this speedmod kernel BUT when i wake the phone from sleep, it takes about 30 seconds before i can connect to the net with anything. the phone connects to the wifi straight away, but i have no connectivity for a good 30 seconds and then it starts working. (its not the router, i am getting a connection and an IP pretty much as soon as i wake the phone). also the 30 seconds or so only STARTS once i try to connect to something. if i wake the phone and do something that does not want net access for a few mins and THEN try to get on the net via wifi (which shows as connected the entire time) then again i have to wait about 30 seconds from when it first tries to connect before it will start working.
[Galaxy S II General] ewokuk:
ok slightly confused again.

I have lite'ning 6.1, speedmod k2-13 kernel and XXKI3 modem. I am trying to get cwm installed so i can make a full backup image of the entire phone while i try to sort out the wifi issues. i downloaded rom manager from market, and selected the firstion option in the app 'flash clockworkmod recovery'. it brings up a menu saying 'confirm phone model' with AT&T galaxy S2, a coulpe of i9000s and a plain "Samsung Galaxy S2" which is the one i selected. it downloads something and says successfully downloaded clockwork mod recovery.

i then choose reboot into recovery. when rebooting it attemps to install something but then says "failed to verify whole-file signature" and aborts. so im just stuck with the standard recovery instead.

so now im confused, have i missed something?
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
Ehhhhm, you don't need to do it.

Have a look at the features of the speed-mod-kernel:

Current features:

Root and CWM:

- Automatically installs root (su)

- CWM 4.0.1.5 recovery

It already installs it right away.

Just in case you messed something up. You should flash the kernel again.

Besides that you don't need the RomManager at all. Just shut your phone down and boot into the recovery with the key-combo. Create and restore backups from there.

Hi,

I accidentally updated to Gingerbread on my Thunderbolt, and I forgot I rooted my phone, by the time I remembered it already had a blue android and an explaimation mark. So I did some random crap, and probley made it worse.

First I did the vol down power thing went to factory reset it loaded CWM v4.0.1.4

I wiped cache patition

Dalvick cache

and Battery stats

then I wiped data/factory reset

It loaded like it was brand new everything seemed fine till I updated and did same thing so I wiped the data again and now it keeps auto updating so I have to keep my internet off

and it's annoying as crap

Download a customer rom, put it on your sd card and flash it in CWM. I'm running BAMF forever and like it. There are plenty of roms to choose from. This should stop the update. After running the rom if you decide you like stock better you can flash the stock rom back and take the update. You will loose root.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jett2314:
1) The phone will not boot all the way up?

2) is the recovery stock or CWM?

3) do you have a recent back up made?

4) do you have s-off?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waltersobchak96:
1. it boots up all the way, turns off after 10-20s each time, regardless of what action i'm taking

2. cwm recovery

3. no backups recent or not

4. i don't know if i 'have it' but when i load hboot the status is 's-off'

If you clear the cache, the shutdowns will stop.

But the OTA will download again, and in a few days you will have to repeat the process.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadhoard:
What am I looking for on the SD card to remove?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jett2314:
sounds like you still have s-off. Anything you are trying to save like app data is gone if you do not have a back up. I would down load a customer rom or even one of the rooted stock versions with the latest OTA and flash that with CWM recovery. Be sure to clear cache and dalvick wipe first when you flash it. There are RUU you could use to return it to stock, but you will lose root. I'm running BAMF forever 1.0.9 and like it. Play around with some roms and if you don't like them use a RUU to restore you back to stock. Most important is make sure you read up on things first.

You would think but I have seen people who after being on here a year still don't know the difference between flashing something in ROM manager or recovery.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GiGaLeOnZa:
unrooting is good and all, but if that happens again, just look around for the newest ruu and find a rooted version. most ruu get rooted that day... heck i had 2.11.605.5 rooted b4 verizon released it (the 2nd leak, the one WITH working vm notifications) thanks to eris of course. then you'd be up to date, stock, rooted... all you'd have to do is wipe dalvik, cache, and system... keep the data (if coming from sense 2.1 rom) and you'd be good.

i don't mess with sense 2.1/3.0 hybrid or 3.0 roms anymore, for this very reason. a ton of incompatibilities between the roms and framework, causing you to have to wipe data when switching... what a pita! i haven't wiped data in months. keep the data always to make life easier...

if you have problems, use clockwork's "fix permissions" and reboot. problem not solved? then retry rom installation WIPING EVERYTHING, then at least you tried to keep your stuff. titanium backup is great for backing up apps + data, so you can import the data back when you're stable on the new rom... just restore the apps + data for the necessary apps, and app only for the stuff that doesn't mnatter... never restore system apps + data for roms with severely different basebands or from completely different roms. unrooting won't be necessary next time :)

As we have seen, it isn't uncommon for OEMs and Carriers to to have exclusive apps. Most of these apps have been built in house, but there are ocassions where there are third party apps also.
