[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeProcopio:
what he is saying is once you use ODIN to install clockwork recovery, all you do is flash a ROM after wiping and resetting your phone, and you have a custom rom installed. I am assuming your wife's Fassy is running the latest OTA, whichever it is....download ODIN to a PC, there are a couple guides out there that include ODIN, and the ED05 rom/PIT combo. directions are pretty straight forward as most roms have them in the first post. read up on the ROMs and decide which you would like to run, being a Cyanogen man since the OG Droid, I would recommend it...fast, good battery life...but MIUI is a really slick rom as well, a little iphone-ish as you have to have all your apps on your homescreens, but Folders help you there...and you can still have widgets...the ability to have Android widgets are one of the many reasons why iPhones will never be in my hand...:D

anyway, check out the instructions to unbrick and also to return to anyother rom from a CM7/MIUI build as they completely change the filesystem, so if you want to go back to Touchwiz based roms, you will need to go through ODIN again with the ED05/PIT package before installing TW roms...

enjoy and ask away, plenty of helpful people here, but always search search search, you may find your answer faster than waiting for responses on the forum!

I agree with the above, but if you only want to root the stock rom then follow this guide in link.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] netarc:
A weird issue manifested on my phone today ... the phone started, upon boot up, to spontaneously reboot. It would boot up within 30s, at which point I unlock it an pulldown the notifications screen (to see what was going on).

I saw several instances of "media scanner running" occurring - over the course of various trials I would see the following messages alternate on the top status bar.

Media scanner running... (system storage)

Media scanner running... (SD card)

Media scanner running.... (USB storage)

Media scanning completed​

...while below in the notification areas I'd see the "Media scanning", "Media scanning...USB storage" etc messages periodically appear.

The phone would first lockup, then reboot perhaps 3 out of every 4 startups. Several of those times the last message I saw prior to the lockup was Media scanner running.... (USB storage).

I pulled out the 32FB Sandisk SD card, then tried booting the phone several times, and this time no issue - booted up fine, no lockups nor auto-reboots. Note though that I've had the SD card installed for over a week, and the problem only cropped up today.

There were

two

SD card-related changes I'd made last night: 1) used ES File Explorer to cut/paste ~400MB of video from the onboard camera storage to the SD card and 2) copied 1.75GB of MP3 files to the SD card.

The MP3s I had copied to /media/music (direct from laptop to SD, using a microSD-to-USB adapter), while the videos (MP4s, created by GS2 camera app) were moved by ES File Explorer to /DCIM/Camera.

So at the moment my phone is working fine (4 clean boots), though sans SD card - any ideas why "media scanner" may be choking upon scanning the SD card? Should I move the SD content to a different directory, or just kill media scanner?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
I've seen issues like that but usually with no name low quality SD cards, with them either bad or modified to register as larger.

I'd backup what you have on the card and format it using the phone. If it's still giving you issues try it on a computer and download a program to check the memory sectors to make sure there are no read write errors.

A good free one is ariolic diskscanner. Can't remember if it can scan SD cards though, though I'd be a little surprised if it couldn't.

You don't want to disable media scanner, not even sure if that's possible. Many things require it to be working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] netarc:
thanks for the tip - I mounted the SD on my PC and backed everything up, then tried deleting the ~2GB Media directory ... no dice, still locked/booted on the first boot up. Going to next clear the other large diretory (DCIM) and see what happends, and then finally reformat the card entirely. Will report back...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] netarc:
so i wiped and formatted the card in the phone ... rebooted several times with the newly empty card, and so far the lock/boot issue hasn't recurred.

Copying all files save the media stuff onto the card, will repeat the test; and then finally will put the media back and see how things go; will report back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Good deal. Hope that's the last time it gives you trouble.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Furik:
This is so weird. I've had this problem as of yesterday.

I'm having the exact same issue... but with a Galaxy S 4G.

I tried re-flashing my phone but I realized it was the SD card causing the problem because the internal phone storage scans just fine.

I've tried 2 different SD cards (one Samsung, one Kingston) - backed up my files on my Mac and tried formatting both cards, putting the files back on the SD cards and booted the phone.

Same problem was happening.

The phone boots up fine without the SD card but I am at loss what to do considering most of the apps I use need the SD card to run.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Try formatting them using the phone.

Could be a corrupted file on your SD card. If after the format the phone works fine, put the files back on one at a time and see if that's what's messing it up.

Try also changing the format type. Seems androids like fat32 a little better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] netarc:
so far so good ... went a day w/o any spontaneous reboots, thought I do want to do a few more startup trials, but fwiw, formatting the SD card (in the phone) seems to have done the trick.

I do realize now that when I first inserted the card in the phone, I just started using it, I didn't bother formatting it - doh!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Funkadelick:

I'm experiencing the exactly same problem on my rooted Samsung Galaxy Ace (Gingerbread 2.3.6).

Reboots with SD card mounted and working fine with SD card unmounted.

I'm using Link2SD with a 2nd ext2 partition, and when SD card is unmounted, all Linked apps work perfectly fine.

I've tried removing and re-inserting SD card and also recreating mount scripts to no use.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
I'm interested to hear from those who have tried or bought the Skyrocket on how the GPS performs compared to the OG GS2 GPS? I'm on the fence like others and would like to know if the Skyrocket GPS is better/worse/same as the OG GS2. For me, I have 6 days left on my OG GS2 30 day return period. I'm very pleased so far with the GPS performance (superior to my previous Infuse and Captivate phones); however, I miss the 4.5" screen. I can get the $149 price on the Skyrocket, but honestly, I do 99% of my data transfer via WiFi, so LTE not criticial today. If the GPS on the skyrocket compares to OG GS2, I may pull the swap.. if not, probably keep the OG. Thanks!

I had the OG-SGS2 for 28days. I now have the SGS2LTE for 2 days. From what I can tell thus far. GPS seems to be about the same for acquiring a signal. Avg about 10-15sec. The longest I have had to wait on the LTE version is about the same.

Can someone explain this?

Here are screencaps from GPS Status + Toolkit and GPS Test... Can you see the "anomaly?"

This phone appears to "see" about twice as many satellites as any other mobile phone I have tested, way beyond the usual 12 or so. Only appears to "use" 12 or less, though.

EIDT: I pulled the trigger on the second screencap too soon after switching to the GPS Test app, therefore only 5 satellites in use. The 2 apps showed about the same number in view and in use with 3 meter accuracy outside with a clear sky view. This GPS is mighty good.

Has anyone NOT living in an LTE area managed to get it for $149 either in person or online? What is a ZIP code I can put in that will show up as a $149 area? I want to see if I can put that in, then proceed with checkout and see if it will let me do it.

If not I may just take a screenshot and see if Best Buy will price match based on what it shows on there.

Sorry, my mistake

Yeah it was a mistake. GPS was one of the things I was worried about with the Skyrocket. The main things holding me back are the supposedly inferior processor and GPU, some people say the low resolution on such a big screen looks bad, and the GPS.

After reading that it is evidently quite good, I got ahead of myself and asked about where I could get it for $149. I asked it in the Q&A instead.

I'm one of the people that went from the SGSII to the Skyrocket.

Comparing the two phones I would have to say that GPS is far better on the Skyrocket.
