[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Rooting has nothing to do with firmware upgrades, if you were able to get updates via Kies, then you will continue receiving the updates, if you don't receive updates from Kies, then Odin is the only way, and the above thread is full of Official firmwares, which you could use to use with Odin.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hduty:
I haven't checked Kies, but if I were to update it through there wouldn't I lose my root? Hence my question...

Sifting through that thread only to find a POSSIBLE update is a real chore, isn't there is place that only displays the latest firmwares for each version, no questions asked? (mine is XWKF3)

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
There is an app called "check fus" that will do exactly what you want.

Whenever you update you loose root. Simply flashing the cfroot kernel that matches the kernel in the update gives you root again. Takes a few seconds via Odin whenever needed.

Check for updates using checkfus then download the no wipe update from intratechs thread (it will be there) and flash, then download cfroot kernel from chainfires thread and flash.

Kies is slow and has problems.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hduty:
Thanks about the tip about "check fus". I installed it and it says there is an update for 'NEE' (Nordic countries) which is correct and where I am, and the product code I currently have is exactly the one below (but not the SWVER though!):

Nordic countries
Product Code: GT-I9100LKANEE
Version: Android 2.3.3
HIDSWVER: I9100XWKDD/I9100OXXKDC/I9100XXKDH/I9100XWKDD

but I don't understand the PDA version it recommends (XWKI8), as that version, according to the website of "fus", belongs to Kazakhstan (but the version is newer):

Kazakhstan
Product Code: GT-I9100LKASKZ
Version: Android 2.3.5
HIDSWVER: I9100XWKI8/I9100OXEKI2/I9100XXKI4/I9100XWKI8

So how am I supposed to interpret this? Should I really install a version for Kazakhstan, even though the product code nor any of the SWVERs does not coincide with what I have now??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
Maybe someone like intratech could answer that for you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hduty:
A quick update: I connected my phone to Kies and it also suggested the KI8 firmware update, so I decided to go ahead and update right there and then, and it worked fine, I'm now on 2.3.5.

But now I want to root, and going back to the original CF-root thread, on which I relied for my first root, it says that the corresponding KI8 kernel is "insecure" (while the previous kernel was "secure"):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17704099&postcount=6

What does it mean that it's "insecure"? Why the difference compared to the previous, secure kernel?

Thanks for the help!

Hi, i am currently on a Class 4 micro SD. I just realised that an ext4 partition is best meant on a Class 10 micro SD (please kindly refute me if i am wrong)

I am thinking of cloning the micro SD wholesale and swapping the old Class 4 for the newer Class 10 with no other changes. Will this break anything?

Thank you!

Hi,

My device often has an unexpected crash.

Sometimes the charge has sudden collapses and the battery is hot.

I replaced the battery with a product compatible because the original is not available but the problem has remained.

Now use my device in airplane mode (sim not inserted) and if necessary use the wifi.

Device information:

OS: Windows Mobile 6 Pro

ROM version: 1.11.408.1B ITA

What could be the problem?

Thanks in advance,

:)

Hi

Elf has very small memory, a few programs running together and you get a crash. I personally would flash a custom 6.1 Onyx Rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=426540 to rule out software related issues. If you need an italian version seach in the Development forum http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=374.
[Touch GSM General] MatrixMI:
elf-uspl.exe (3.10), step 2/3 output:

"Phone screen should now be blank and the activesync icon gray. If not, the loading procedure has failed and you'll have to repeat again."

Where is the problem?
[Touch GSM General] MatrixMI:
i have reboot device and completed the process but i receive an

error 270

from "PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.27.4.3" applcation: "The image file is corrupted. Please check your Update Utility"
[Touch GSM General] tito12:
Error 270 means you are still cid locked, so you can't flash any custom rom.
[Touch GSM General] MatrixMI:
Today I install Onyx 4.1 in my device but the problem has remained.

In particular, I highlight the following critical issues and problems:

- charge the device (usb and electricity network)

- turn on device

- sudden crash

Now, i think this is an hardware problem. Are you agree with me or you have other software solutions?

Thanks!
[Touch GSM General] tito12:
Yes, you should see if your battery fits well and contacts are tight, look also in usb if something's not ok, change cables before you go to service.
[Touch GSM General] MatrixMI:
I have checked the battery and its contacts and it all seems ok.

I have changed the usb cable but the problem has remained. Now?
[Touch GSM General] tito12:
I now remember the same problem with my brother's elf: we eventually brought it to service which diagnosed a damage to the motherboard. He decided not to repair due to the high cost so the question remains open...
[Touch GSM General] MatrixMI:
Ok. Now, I would consider changing the motherboard. Where can I find online, the board?

Hey there dev's and users...sorry to bother...

i've noticed that SE xperia mini,mini pro,active,live with walkman have the same cpu/gpu/ram as xperia arc/ray/play but they have lower screen res...

sooo....

if you use a game which is built for arc/ray/play it would run on the lower res devices but some buttons/options wouldn't be able to be used because of the screen resolution...

is there any way to fix the apk of the game so it could be used in the lower res devices?

because those games aren't available for our devices normally...:(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dumraden:
Well from the little i know, no you cant.

You will have to recode the game entirely in order for it to work in our devices.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] punshkin:
You could try to change pixel density to a higher number, maybe thestreet will trick the game to think you have the right resolution
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nfsmw_gr:
Well...i've already tried that...some games like battlefield 2 worked nicely on my Live With Walkman! :)

But with NFS hot pursuit for example i couldn't select an option on the screen because i couldn't see the option!!! :(

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] bertupo:
anyone can help me? im using CM&-kang and i wanted to flash back to stock rom. i downloaded the firmware from sammobile.com but what i got is a one package file. is it safe to use it?

here is the file that i downloaded

S5830DXKPD_S5830OLBKPC_S5830DXKPD_HOME.tar.md5

TIA
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
no, u need to flash full package or u'll get bootloop.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
Actually it's okay as long as it's 2.3 to 2.3, the 2.3.3/2.3.4/2.3.5/2.3.7 revisions doesn't matter much.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
onepackage or full package does matter tho. onepackage doesnt have data.rfs, so flashing from previous ext4 rom will not make /data partition into rfs filesystem, and because stock kernel doesnt recognize ext4 filesystem, result is bootloop.

but if u insist on installing onepackage on top of ext4 rom, u can try to convert the filesystem to rfs using cfroot app beforehand.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] bertupo:
thank you guys! i just flashed it with one package and then wipe it from stock recovery and its good to go...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
ahh forgot to mention that earlier, formatting data via cwm will also work because i think it will format data partition to rfs too ;)

Hey all,

As a lot of you may know, there were a few threads or only one ^^, which show how to brush the battery cover. It can be made by removing the paint of it so you can see the aluminium which gives it a crome look. Is that also possible with the titan? Or is that cover made of plastic?

Thx

[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
So I'm new to this. And for whatever reason, I can't get the damn zip file to install. I used the UOT kitchen to cook up my theme. But everytime I try to install it says install aborted. Not sure why. I uploaded the SystemUI.apk and the framework.apk is there something I'm missing?

Edit...

E:error in /emmc/theme.zip

(Status 0)

Installation aborted.

That's the error....
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Hey man, did you choose amend scripting? I made the same mistake when i first used UOT.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Sure didn't. Realized that was probably my issue but as it was five a.m. and I was tired I said oh well and crashed. Is there anyway to modify the existing zip?
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
No man..don't think so..uot takes so long sometimes while waiting for it to cook, but try again and let me know.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Fuuuuuucccckkkkk. I spent three hours making it. That sucks! Haha. It was a cool theme too. Bomber Green and Black. I was happy with it. But now I gotta start over, well, atleast I know it's something that CAN be fixed. I'll see if I have time today. I'm thinking about heading to La Jolla for a rebreather dive today.

Edit...

That'd be a HUGE negative. Says that it doesn't support amend in the Gingerbread recovery. WTF? This is a buncha crap. Nothing I do works. Ahhhh. Christ. Haha.

Aww man...go have a milkshake at harry's after for me! :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:

[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Okay. Well that was fun. But now I gotta get back to trying to figure out why the hell this doesn't work, doesn't seem to matter what format I do it in. It still fails to flash. Any ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Did u also deselect the "preview" option at bottom left? I might have mentioned it in another post. trust me, it works..i was able to do the battery mod, check the home screen thread..youll see it. I didn't understand the sense ui you mentioned in the other thread. Use only framework-res.apk and system ui.apk.

I also flashed from bootstrap vs cwm. Not sure if that is an issue. Shabby said something prior I think in jokers community rom thread.

You can shoot me a pm if you want.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I meant system. I am tired. Lol. I will try that tonight. Thanks Man.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Yeah, best of luck...btw, do you remember all the mods that you selected? Maybe I can look through and there might be something that conflicts? Yeah weird though...even though you had both ways edify/amend scripting...you wipe cache/dalvik prior to flash the UOT.zip file? (I'm sure you did, just checking..)

Good luck man!
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
No I didn't! D'oh! I will try that.

Edit...

Okay, So I tired it and to no luck still. Not sure what the hell is hanging it out. But I'm getting the status 0 error. Pissing me off.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Okay. So I just pulled the updater script out of my failed theme. I see a umount instead of unmount. Is it supposed to be umount? Or is that a typo that could possibly be causing a failed issue?
[Motorola Photon 4G] MedicStuder:
Possible Fix

Ok, I finally had time to sit down and try to figure this out. I did get it to successfully flash. Here is a run down. I hope this helps.

1) Framwork-res.apk and SystemUI.apk came from skinney ROM (this souldn't matter but just throwing it out there).

2) I only did a battery mod (save time on cooking theme.

OK here we go:

1) under File Upload tab I did the following:

a) Edify scripting

-update-binary = Optimus

2) framework-res.apk = /system/framework

3) SystemUI.apk = /system/app

4) Patch9 autofix = checked

5) ThemeChooser review = unchecked

6) Kitchen setting (optional) = skipped

7) Select your rom from kitchen's list, or upload your own files

a) check system files

b) upload your framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk

8) Click on summarry and now cook theme

9) place theme on internal memory and flash in CWM

Hope this makes sense. I am going to try and make a full theme to see if the whole thing takes Like I said I only did the battery mod to save time in cooking the theme. Let me know if this helps and if it does work for you.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Cool Man. You saved my phone from being hurled at the wall. :) haha. I'm gonna give this a shot and see what happens.

I just created a full theme. When it is done cooking I will load and install. Will post results.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
So I got a half ass port of the Alien theme over. But the problem is it's lacking the lock screen and the status bar. I'm not sure how to get those imported over. I got everything else though. Any ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] MedicStuder:
you tryng to port using UTO? I have no clue there...will have to play around.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Haha, nah Man. I got over that. I'm "porting" via unzipping files, pulling **** out, putting it here, rezipping it then flashing it and hoping it works. But thus far, I'm not having great luck. I got everything working, no FC's on the dialer or anything. But the status bar/lockscreen aren't changing to the Alien theme.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MedicStuder:
got ya...lol...your way a head of me in the theme game. I am trying to just get UTO to work so I can get a few themes to hopefully tide people over and to get me a few to work off of (i.e. adding themed apks). I can get HxD to view the coding but after that I can't get the code to appear to make the color code changes I want to. I am making progress but slowly. When you said about phone going into the wall...I am past that...I am even past fist in the wall....I am up to the bang head here. Ibuprofen and coffee has been my friend. Not to mention working 12 and 24 hour shifts. The only thing that does give me time is the fact that when the family sleeps I am up all night then sleep all day. So that does help to get things done.

Wow that was a full circle ramble...lmao...maybe to much coffee....lmao
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Haha, I'm not ahead of you Man. Trust me. I just couldn't get UOT to work, so I tired to find another way to get a theme I was happy with, and just started reading and modding files accordingly, and then AJC is hookin' it up and helping me out too big time.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MedicStuder:
well my full UTO theme installed. The only thing is the lock screen didn't take. But I had also set a pattern lack screen in UTO and that took. So I don't know why the stock lock screen didn't change.

I was really excited about getting gingerbread. My phone has been flying and I figure it would be that much faster with the update. Well, not the case for me...the phone feels sluggish and slow. I have not been getting errors but slow. For example I have the weather widget, calender widget, and a couple of contact shortcuts on the main screen. When I open the web browser and hit the home key the phone takes a while and then the widgets (weather and calender) take a while to load. And this is just one thing. I tried taking the battery out. I tried clearing out the cache from everything. And killing extra items from running but still no go. I'm starting to miss froyo :)

Went from stock GB to GV 1.1.

Fantastic radio and data 25+ with Houston server/4G

Not one random reboot or crash

Not one update failed issue

Faster batt charge cycle and better life

Got rid of rare unresponsive screen input issue by installing widgetlocker app and by using SPB shell as launcher

GPS and BT much improved over Froyo

Excellent work on GV1.1 ROM MT!
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
I was also getting the slow down. I rooted and flashed gv but it still happens from time to time. Bt would also lose connection a couple of times during a conversation on a thirty minute drive. I'll be trying the supercharger next to see if that fixes things.
