Hello,

I have tried new cables, installing Samsung usb drivers, Google drivers and somehow the driver installation fails every time. I am using Windows7 X64.

Under disk Drives there is two instances of "Android UMS Composite USB Device" with a cannot start code10 fault.

Any help would be appreciated much !!

Try turning on usb debugging in the development section of applications.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drilus:
Enable "USB Debugging" then mount to USB.

Settings, Applications, Development, enable USB debugging.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pasta1234:
I tried check marking USB Debugging and then using USB Mass Storage but still a no go...

Still two Items in device manager with Code10 Faults :(

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pasta1234:
Is there some info i can provide that will help me resolve this issue ?

Pete
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pandamaja:
Are you getting an error on the windows side or android side?

Like other's have posted, you first have to go to settings->applications->development and enable USB debugging.

Then once you've plugged the phone into your computer, pull down the notifications on the phone and press the 'USB Connected', then click the 'Connect USB Storage'

Edit: nvm,i see you've tried this already
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pasta1234:
This is what i see in device manager, despite even uninstalling them several times.

I have even tried several cables..

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
So from a powered off state, we hold vol - and then plug in the USB cable and it will boot up? :O

I'm confused with all of the T-Mobile root discussions and Telus root discussions.. How do you root the phone? Do you root through Odin, or do you just use Odin to flash the recovery (same for Telus and T-Mobile?) and then use the recovery to flash SU?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] firebane:
Yes. The Telus version is slightly different than the T-Mobile version in the sense that in order to get into download mode VOL DOWN is to be held only when inserting the USB cable otherwise you get a battery screen or windows complaining USB Device Not Recognized.

Probably going to try this tonight. Do you know if the T-Mobile drivers that |Melvin| posted in the How-To Root T-Mobile GS2 are the same as the Telus ones? Or do I even need them? Because I know when I first plugged in my phone into Kies, it installed drivers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] firebane:
I "think" the ones Melvin provides are the same ones you get with Kies. When you install Kies there is a directory it creates which has the USB drivers .exe file in it. If you have installed Kies your drivers are installed.

Following the instructions to a "T", when I I install the ROM and get to the "Setting Permissions" part of the install, the screen goes dark and reboots.

1- The ODIN flashing of Recovery.tar was successful

2 - Formatted the SD Card before copying the ROM onto it

3 - I ran the Fix Permissions

4 - Flashed ROM

5 - Phone reboots at "Setting Permissions"

6 - I repeated the procedure again and I get setting permissions error at the same point

When I access through ADB I am unable to set write permissions to /system among others but I can read. When I run #mount I get RO's for the following:

rootfs / rootfs ro,relatime 0 0

/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 /system ext4 ro,relatime,barrier=0,data=ordered 0 0 (& all directories under /system)

/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/.android_secure tmpfs ro,relatime,size=0k,mode=000

Any ideas on what to do next?

Hello all just bought a new Samsung Galaxy SII from craigslist already rooted with 4.0.3 Jedi Mind Trick. After reading for what seems 4-5 hours i have been trying to put together how to properly without bricking switching it to 10.0.0 Stable as i use to use Cyanogenmod 2-3 years ago on my devices. Seem alot of things have changed and there is a cluster**** of stuff out there now. If you could direct me to a how to or show me how to do it i would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks

I just switched from JMT X1 to CM10 and am very happy. I can not find the link to the instructions I used, too bad because the were very clear, but they were basically the same as: http :// www teamchopsticks org/p/cm10-install-guide html I did not change the radio.

One thing that was emphasized was to be sure you have the latest version CMW 6.0.1.5, I had an older version and easily updated via ROM Manager - Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, with the latest version they said you would not need Darkside Superwipe.

Boot into recovery and see what you have, many use TWRP instead of CWM, if this is your case you will have to research how to switch to CWM, as TWRP is not supported by CM10 or research how to do it via TWRP, it is said to work well also.....Good Luck

I had to modify the link as I am not allowed to post outside links, just replace the spaces with .

CM10 Install Guide

Installing

Install ClockworkMod Recovery for "skyrocket" or "hercules" whichever matches your device. Sorry, CM and TeamChopsticks cannot provide support for other recoveries, although they may work fine.

Download the recommended radio version matching your device. (See the list below)

Download the latest nightly or stable build

Download the recommended Google Apps. (See the list below)

Reboot into recovery.

Wipe data/factory reset.

Format /system (mounts and storage->format /system).

Install the zip files in this order: radio zip, then CM10 zip, and finally install the gapps zip

Reboot. Let it sit for a few minutes after the first boot. Be patient.

It appears there is a step missing from galaxys2root. Download the Samsung USB Drivers from the xda post you linked to and install those on your computer. You may need to reboot. After that you should be able to start over with the steps from galaxys2root. Hopefully that is it.

Glad you got this far. Did you power off the phone before trying to boot into recovery? With power off push volume up and down and the power button. When the phone vibrates let go of the power button and you should get into recovery.

k so i installed cwm...worked fine. then tried to install su...error. whatever i said to myself...took this rom and flashed it thru cwm...gave me everything(su+busybox etc...). Rebooted phone and OMG...t-mobile rom is ugly as sin. Everything on it is crap and crap looking. NO disrespect to author of the rom...its just the t-mobile source looks and acts like ****e. The way i see it, t-mob users should install the telus rom, looks WAY better and works...i dunno...better. Please...Please is there any way to get a Telus sub forum. Just too much confusion between the 2 from what i see here...and there is A LOT of Telus(canadian) users here. Just my 2 .95 cents.

I flashed the recovery.tar just fine, but when it comes to rebooting to recovery, I can't get it to work. I tried doing vol - & power (isn't that Download mode?) and a lot of other combinations. I ended up doing adb reboot recovery, but I'd like to find out what my issue is with flashing into CWM. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

EDIT: FIXED. Re-searched for network, all seems to be well :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Pellel2:
i have the same problem. I think it must be a FCC ID error or something like that because eventhough it says 3G you are connected to 4G speeds. The rom just thinks you are in a 3G because you are not connected to a t-mobile 4G tower lets say. I do not know how to fix this i am trying to get a backup file Telus original ROM from someone to try to figure out in the code what is the difference. maybe someone else can iterate more about this issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rayman25:
ya thats why they said in an other tread it is still 4g speed but what i think is that the telus version of the rom is better then the telus one

went back to it last night

thank god i did a backup lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chandalen:
I know you fixed ur problem but to just make it clear for others...the way i get to recovery (cwm) every time no hassles...hold down all three buttons...as soon as u see the first screen...let go of everything and then just wait a few secs.

Thank you Allgamer :cheers: ... I think it may be prudent to wait on rooting, in case they get their schitt together and do an OTA for UMA, what do you think? Supposedly the rumoured date is 12/13/11. I guess we'll see. Even the T-Mo people disagree with each other on this.

One thing is for sure .... I am happy mine came with the new GBA SIM, and it wasn't unfortunately removed as so many have, by T-Mo store people. My GS2 came directly from T-Mo. I went ahead and called support and under the "activation" voice option, they did it in an instant.

I have tested all the roms and kernels. I really dont feel the stock Telus rom is any better than lets say juggernaut. that custom rom has tons of options and such that makes it easier to use. I am using juggernaut with stock t989d kernel. the phone feels so smooth and no problems. oh one thing i got higher internet speeds in juggernaut than stock telus rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
Higher speed tests with Juggernaut? Have you tried Synergy with smartass or lagfree governor? I got over 4000 with lagfree governor :D I'm hoping that someone could make a stock Telus ROM flashable via CWM so that I can go from say, Juggernaut to Telus, but still stay rooted. Bubby's kernel will remove everything, as if I wanted to return the phone or something.

Im switching over from a dell streak to a telus SGS2X. My question is, why cant i use Superoneclick or something else insanely easy to root?

Can someone direct me to where I may do some research on this juggernaught rom?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
Just follow the sticky that AllGamer made in this section. And when it comes to rooting, it's super easy! One thing is that I had to enter recovery by holding volume up and volume down and power, releasing power after the phone vibrated to enter recovery. It's really easy so long as you read everything carefully :D

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
All you lose is the 4G icon. The speeds themselves are still 4G for Telus. If ever you want to go back to stock, just make yourself a Nandroid before even rooting. So after you flash the CWM recovery, just make a Nandroid backup THEN root.

Can somebody clarify what you mean by losing the 4G signal? Are you referring to Telsus users only or does that happen to Tmobil users as well?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
It's only when you flash a T-Mobile Custom ROM when you have a Telus phone. The signal is still 4G speeds, but the icon is 3G, just aesthetic.

Hi guys, i have a few questions. as you can see im a noob and this is my first post.

i recently have purchased the Telus SGS2X and i want to root it and put a custom ROM on it.

this is my first android phone, im coming from a BB.

im pretty technical, and have a HP touchpad, that i overclocked, etc. so i dont think this would be too difficult for me to follow directions and get it done.

only thing is ive been warned by a friend, to make sure i do it correctly to avoid bricking the phone. this is what im afraid of. Im loving this phone and dont want to have a $600 brick. lol

my biggest problem is my battery life. i find myself charging my phone twice a day. (after starting the day on a full charge) this is just moderate usage, some messaging, twitter, browsing, occasional youtube.

id like to be able to remove some of the telus bloatware on the phone as well as add anything to improve my battery life.

sorry for the long post, but if you guys wouldnt mind directing me to a link or pointing me in the right direction, it would be appreciated.

thanks
