ClockworkMod would be a better start. RZ isn't as stable as CWM. For now we're just looking for a working custom recovery that allows custom flashing of zips.

You could contact the RZrecovery dev about getting a version of RZ for the exhibit ii. Although, a more generic recovery or CWM is whats being worked on for now.

I have experience compiling and testing AOSP for the LG Optimus V VM670. The optimus has such a dedicated network of devs to bring a stable build of CM7 to that phone. I am hopeful that a working build of CM will be built soon for the exhibit.

I'm just want to say that I am waiting to test alpha builds of whatever ROMs the devs make. I really miss having a custom ROM on my phone. Good luck to everyone. If devs can make CM for ARMv6 phones theres no reason why it cant be done for this phone as well.

I just want to say "Thanks"

Because of this thread I've been able to root my Samsung Exhibit II 4G

I also did the 'trick' with installing "BusyBox Installer" to get SU Binary to update correctly.

I haven't followed the instructions yet on removing Carrier IQ ... I'm a bit "afraid" I guess to do this ... I mean, is it 'safe' to do? Should I just follow the directions and be done with it and not worry about it or wait for some other 'better' method? In other words are there any pitfalls afterwards in using this method? And to be clear I'm talking about the directions posted by "s0unds" back on Page 8 of this thread.

Thanks :)

Heres the little script, its not perfect though.

It will remove the files you want, just put the names (CaSeSenSiTiVe) in remove.txt in the same directory, make sure adb is in the same directory and that you have root and watch the fur fly =)

Sorry there isn't a better introduction, for most people I advise you check on the 'safe' list, nothing seems to broke with what I took out of the remove list but your milage will likely vary.

This script will through lots of errors, if it says you asked to pm uninstall nothing, then that is fine, if you got permission denied, well, that is different.

NOTE, this uses busybox for awk, so it gives busybox 755 permissions during the run of this script, and reverts back to the apparent default of 555. if you don't want this, then I suggest you edit the script.

Ok, after managing to get more information. It seems that device management is something T-mobile uses to push updates and troubleshoot the phone. I froze it with titanium backup, does not look like it's a problem, I believe it's safe.

Reason I ask is, my Exhibit II is not rooted yet, still haven't built the courage to root. Maybe soon

Can this work even with the tethering manager active in the background? Seeing as it blocks the original hotspot feature this phone has.

Also are there any other non-rooting tethering methods that work with this phone?

Again, I know rooting will open up a huge list of possibilities, but as this is my first android phone and i've barely had it for 2 months.. I'm gonna wait a bit.

With both of them, I have to go through the default lock screen (the one that you slide off), then go through the one from GoLocker or WidgetLocker. I've tried using NoLock with it and it works for about 15 minutes, then the stock lock screen comes back. Then if I close both NoLock and GoLocker and reopen them, it works again for about 15 mins, then the same thing happens.

Anybody found a workaround for this? I'm rooted so maybe theres a way to freeze the default lock screen or something?

Cannot make network calls when browsing web on wifi?

First post ever. Sorry if this is the wrong place.

I ordered two of these phones. They're in transit and I haven't received them yet. Anyway, I have been reading a bunch of forums on how awesome this phone is. I was VERY excited. I came across this review on Amazon below:

"The biggest problem that makes no sense to me, is you cannot call or use T mobile network if your wifi (and not data packet) is turned on. This makes absolutely NO sense! Means, if you are browsing web or, if you have your home wifi available on your phone, you cannot call/ or be on network. The T mobile customer care told me, this is the case. This is utterly ridiculous and dissapointing. any suggestions?"

Is this person a total idiot? Why wouldn't you be able to make network calls when your wifi is turned on and you're browsing the web? I have an old T-Mobile MyTouch running on Android 2.2. It works just fine.

Someone tell me this person has no idea how to work a non-dumb phone. I need to know if I should return these phones before opening the package.

THANKS!!!
[General Questions and Answers] jvnat:
Not sure if I'm understanding you correctly. If you're on wifi, you can make/receive calls via wifi calling. You can still receive texts on wifi. I get horrible 3g/4g at work so I jump on wifi. I get calls and texts just fine on wifi. The phone registers to TMo's network via wifi.

I confirm, same problem with golocker. I deactivated the default locker which makes it does not appear, BUT golocker was not there when I started the phone.

Trying to use Heimdall to re-flash to factory

OK, so based on my failure to fix my phone by restoring backups, I'm trying to re-flash it to factory. I know that I can do this with Odin, but I don't have a PC available right now. I've got Heimdall working on my mac and I have the proper factory files, but when using Heimdall, you must specify each part of the partition to flash.

The files are:

adsp.mbn

amss.mbn

boot.img

cache.img.ext4

preload.img.ext4

recovery.img

system.img.ext4

The heimdall options are:

[--factoryfs <filename>] [--cache <filename>] [--dbdata <filename>]

[--primary-boot <filename>] [--secondary-boot <filename>]

[--secondary-boot-backup <filename>] [--param <filename>]

[--kernel <filename>] [--recovery <filename>] [--efs <filename>]

[--modem <filename>] [--normal-boot <filename>] [--system <filename>]

[--user-data <filename>] [--fota <filename>] [--hidden <filename>]

[--movinand <filename>] [--data <filename>] [--ums <filename>]

[--emmc <filename>] [--<partition identifier> <filename>]

Some are an easy match based on the name:

--cache cache.img.ext4

--recovery recovery.img

--system system.img.ext

But what about:

adsp.mbn

amss.mbn

boot.img

preload.img.ext4

Thoughts?

Hello everyone new to the forum here, and wanted to thank everyone for the hard work and ask a quick question :-)

I rooted the phone following the instructions here and I used Titanium Backup to uninstall "TetheringManager", but every time I start the tether with WiFi Tether the one from T-Mobile starts, sometimes it starts and sometimes it doesn't. I was just wondering if I'm gonna get a call from T-Mobile asking me to activate a tethering plan with them or is there a way for me to stop that app from starting, I've looked for it to disable it with Titanium Backup but I can't find it.

Sorry about the long message and I hope you guys are able to help me, again. Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] jgrinst1:
It's possible that you have a file left over from tethering manager if it ran before you deleted it with TB. There may still be a dex file in dalvik cache, for example. You could try clearing dalvik cache, then reboot and the dc will get rebuilt.

The post Here script will also build you a /data/SuperClean.sh script which will clear dalvik cache for you and reboot.

When we have a custom recovery, that will be easy to do...

No, I doubt you will get a call from T-Mo...!

ok. I had the same problem and this is how I fixed it.

1) Uninstalled the updated Superuser.

2) Go to market install the Superuser fix first. Very important.

3) Run the fix and force it to run any way. Even though the signature match ok.

4) Update your Superuser, in the settings, update your SU binary. That did it for me.

Apparently, when rooting Zergrush, it could install the busy box on our phones and thus you cannot update the SU binary. Even if you install busy box separately first, it does not help. But installing the fix for Superuser which includes its own busy box fixed it.

Hope this helps.
