[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] D-REW:
Today I just realized that ATT has REALLY great customer service. And their cancellations department has the power to do ANYTHING.

So I originally got an HTC Inspire back in May. 1 month into the phone my phone bricked on me. To be honest I didn't know if it was because of the ROM that I flashed or because the phone just had problems. Luckily, since I was in Costco's return period they replaced my phone with a brand new one. However, just recently it happened again after my phone died. Again I don't know if it was the ROM (MIUI) or something else. But I couldn't turn it on at all even with a new battery. So I got a refurbished model from an ATT warranty center by my house. And damn, no matter what ROM (even completely stock w/out root) I always get force closes, random reboots, and errors regarding gapps. So I called customer care and asked them if they can do something else other than send me another Inspire. They said they have to file a report and contact me within 48 hours if I can get a different phone. Well, it's been a week and nothing. So I called their cancellation line just to see what happens, and I told my story without raising my voice and being very polite. The lady right away agreed that she would be mad if her phone had the same problems and asked what phone I wanted to get. I told her the GS2 and she said "No problem. I can give you that phone as an upgrade. You'll just be extending your contract for 2 years on this day, which is just 6 more months from your original end date. The phone usually goes for $299 with a $100 mail in rebate, but i'll give it to you for $175, with an instant rebate and waived activation fee and shipping fee." I didn't even have to ask her to give me a better deal or waive those fees!

So i'll be joining the GS2 family very soon once I receive it during the mail. And if you guys have any problems I suggest going directly to their cancellation line. They can do anything without the need of a supervisor.

Oh and best of all... I dont even have to turn in my Inspire. They said I get to keep it and can probably get a different one at the warranty center since it still has its 90 day warranty!

I used to do the same thing every year till now I have one of my 4 lines eligible every 4-6 months. The key is to remain calm and they will do lot to avoid you cancelling. It also helps I have been a At&t/Cingular wireless customer for the last 13 years with the last 5 as premiere.

so i made a noob mistake an flashed a rom that wasnt made for the tmobile gs2. the install of the custom rom was sucessfull. now the phone wont turn back on or get into any mode. when i plug it into the computer odin recognize it. can someone tell me what i can do other then using the jig. thanks in advance!

Did you say that Odin recognize your phone or doesn't recognize it? If Odin recognize your phone then your definitely in luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lookinforcar:
yes odin does recognize it. it says ID com19 and its highlighted yellow
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
Now you have to get the original unrooted factory rom .tar file and restore your phone back to factory. Your phone is just soft bricked so you are very lucky. Use google or the xda search feature and look up something along the lines of "SGH-T989 .tar file" or "T-Mobile Galaxy S II tar". The exact file you need is floating around here somewhere.

r u talking about the sgh-t989-stock-recovery.tar? i have tried that but get stuck on setupconnection
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
There is no stock rom tar file for our phone yet. We only have a kernel and stock recovery tar.

You can't get into recovery?

This phone is a BEAST!

what is the proper way to get into recovery. my phone wont do jack right now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
Honestly I haven't done this yet with the GS2, but I've done it a million times with a Vibrant I once owned. I'm gonna look it up right now and see what I find. This should be a pretty easy process. The best part is that at least your phone isn't completely bricked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cwa542:
mine is doing the same thing but odin isnt reconizing my phone but the computer is....someone help me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
First do a battery pull, then put the battery back into the phone, hold both the up and down volume rocker and press the power button till the phone vibrates (letting you know its been turned on), soon as the phone vibrate then release the power button but do not let go of the volume rocker until you see the recovery image! Once you see the recovery image you are easily back in business. Let me know if you can at least get into recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lookinforcar:

What ROM did you guys install? Few questions. Did you guys install Samsung drivers. If not install through kies or from the development section here and reboot computer. Then put in download mode and wait for comp. to recognize phone again. try entering recovery and flash a basic stock ROM from dev section. See if that works.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
omega ROM? What happens when you plug into charger? Was the battery dead. What steps did you take to install the ROM? Any kernels or mods installed not for this phone? Were there any issues when you used odin the first time, like errors or accidentally unplugged. Edit: the op said you installed ROM not made for this phone? Was it a ROM for another sgs 2 model? Or different phone altogether? ?

Three isn't any stock Odin tar roms available. Bubby claimed he had it built but he never released it go ask him for the tar.

Also, if you can't get to Odin mode or any other mode and the screen never turns on but your phone is regonized by your computer, the phone is hard(hardware) bricked. You will have to return it for an exchange.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boot329:
Hi all,

A question all to you!

I sell cellphones as a part time job (Fry's..meh) and when I was setting up a customers phone (Droid 3 actually) I was amazed at how fluid and nice the new UI looked. I compared it to my Atrix's motoblur/skin which obviously has its differences.

I was wondering if there was a way to get the "new" motoblur/motoskin that currently exists on Motorola devices such as the Atrix 2, Bionic, Razr, Droid 3 etc.

My Atrix is rooted and unlocked.

Any answers are welcomed. :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolnow:
That would require a full port of the new Motoblur framework wouldn't it? Is that even possible?
[Nook Touch General] chun17:
I rooted my Nook STR, but I accidentally deleted all the files in the Nook's own boot partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p1). This is the partition labeled boot that is mounted when you boot with noogie.img from nookdevs.com/NookTouch_Rooting. Unfortunately, I didn't have a backup.

Now the nook doesn't boot except when booting from an sd card. I can actually boot into android by using the touchnooter sd card, and most things (launcher, apps, nook stock reader) work!

The only problem is the system doesn't recognize the external sd card as mounted, so some apps won't work. Also when I connect the nook to the pc via usb, the nook drive doesn't show up on my pc, so I can't side-load other books.

I'd still like to somehow repair my nook's boot partition. I can't enter into factory recovery mode since the device can't boot on it's own.

1. Would it work if I copy other nook's files in their boot partition? Is any of the file specific to each nook? Can anyone provide their files for me to try?

I'm on firmware 1.0.1.

2. Would applying the latest firmware update 1.1.0 rebuild the boot files? I tried to manually apply the update, but after

putting the update.zip file in the /media folder, nothing happens. Besides waiting for the OTA update, is there anyway to force the update?

Nook's Paritions

I have accidently wrote noogie.img on the usb "Nook" parition, and now nook displays a message "your nook encountered a problem that requires a system restart". I can boot on the SD Card and still have the original backups done in ClockWordMode.

Is there a way to recover this partition back.

Pretty run of the mill inside, but that's one hell of a chassis. what i'm amazed by is that toughbooks and toughbook slates have always been these horrifically huge things, but this actually has a decent thickness (hello toshiba thrive), isn't fugly, and manages to keep a 10 hour battery!

anyone here considering dropping $1300 on one? anyone?

You can run over a Toughbook with a Hummer or something like that and it will still work. If the Touchpad is anything like that, I can definately see the Touchpad selling well to those super paranoid types. I wouldn't drop $1300 for one, but I guess it is cool that Panasonic is making tablets.

If there's a better board for this, let me know. It's not really a dev question, but I couldn't find a general 8.9 area.

I'm running stock ROM on an 8.9 I just bought this week. Rooted and installed a few apps. Out of the blue the agenda widget stopped displaying my agenda. Just shows per the attached screenshot. Tapping the widget opens the calendar app and starts editing a new event.

The widget was working perfectly for a while. Note that the calendar app still displays all my appointments just fine.

I tried clearing the cache in CWM, but it didn't help. Also tried wiping application data for the Calendar app.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loneBoat:
Well I feel silly. Turns out that the widget displays what you see in the screenshot when you don't have anything on your calendar for the current day. Now that I have an event today, it's back to normal.

The wording on the widget makes it look like it's not working, even when it is.

Leaving this here in case anyone makes the same dumb mistake I did! :-)

I've seen some people posting pictures of their home screens and noticed they changed the look of their notification bar at the top (have different icons for signal strength, data network, battery, etc). How exactly do you change the look of the notification bar, and is it called 'notification bar' that is being changed?

Thanks.

ya notification bar or task bar or status bar. whichever is correct.

those are called mods that people use to change the battery and data signals. if you look into the themes and apps forum you should be able to find something you like.;)

The icons can also be changed using the UOT Kitchen online.

i reboot my phone there was no super user app.

after that i connected phone in fastboot mode , (switch off connect while pressing volume up )

and flashed cyanogenmod's boot.img by running command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

command prompted closed automatically after 3-5 second , i thought it not worked

now i started my phone by it stuck on sony logo for more than 5 minute , i removed battery and restarted and WTF! freexperialogo appears

i pressed volume key several time and get into CWM

then cleared cache , made a backup of stock .42 and installed FXP045 and voila! it installed

now i am wondering how it is possible, i installed cyanogenmod without rooting my phone

Hello, I'm currently in the process of securing my transformer and i'm looking for an app that logs the various wifi networks my tablet connects to and sends me emails every so often with all the network addresses. This is for a scenario when my tablet gets stolen in hopes that I can track the theif by ssh tunneling into my tablet to access various utilities like keyloggers, webcam, browsing history, gps, etc.

Also is there any way I can apply passwords for factory resets or prevent losing access to such info in the event of one?

Will be pointless, unless the thief has its external port 22 forwarded to your tablet ...

You would have better luck with a program in your tablet regulary connecting to a server to send these information (ssid, external IP, Pictures etc..).

I updated yesterday, used to watch streaming movies and shows on Netflix and Tube Plus, but now a 6 min. vid. on youtube app. loads like I'm on my old Eris before Tazz helped that out. Seriously my 4G LTE is weak as hell, I'm about to Occupy Verizon if they don't make it better,........ all else is cool though. I like the 1 click root after the update, worked like a charm,.......now if my signal would go back to being awesome I would be very happy. Let me throw some knowledge out after my opinion and before my question,....... the wifi tether v.3.1 beta 6 works great after going through tether now, easy tether, pda net, the thing I did was change the profile to the LG optimus, and enable routing fix, that's all i did,.......now the question, if Verizon doesn't fix this connectivity problem, is there a way to revert back to vz6 and still have root?....... share your thoughts on this update,..... I personally am not impressed,.... except i got root immediately.

2 bar avg 7.5 dn 3.5 up

3 bar avg 9.8 dn 6.8 up

4 bar avg 12.7 dn 9.6 up

2 bar 8.7 dn 3.5 up

3 bar 12.3 dn 7.9 up

4 bar 16.3 dn 10.5 up

i did notice the difference in speed once i updated to GB and a few times i did get into 22+

also the speed do vary depending on the time you run it because when it's during peak hrs it get bogged down alot

i get those results when i use wifi tether 3.1 p100 but not the easytether avg 8.9 even on full bar

I love gingerbread. Especially after I went Gingervolt (1.2) My phone has been what seems like a 100 times faster. Then again I was still V4 with revolt 1.5.

Kudos again to MT for the Gingervolt

Just a thought, Have you tried dialing *228 and hitting option 2 to update your service? I might be wrong about the process, but i thought it updated information about the towers in your area for where you live. Either way, it fixes my bars when ever I have occasional problems.
[LG Revolution] trybal057:
Just tried the 228 thing, it says a Sim card had updated my phone
[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
Don't use the *228 thing on a 4g phone with SIM Card. That is what I was told from the tech's at Verizon.

With a 4g phone/SIM card, you want to pull the sim card out, let sit for 10+ seconds (I recommend 30 seconds) and then reinsert and boot up.

The 4g phones do NOT update roaming/data services via *228. You need to use this method..

Try that and see if it helps.

[LG Revolution] antiwesley:
When I had first gotten my phone, I had to downgrade it to V4 from V6 to get it rooted. (OneClick had surprisingly failed to root it at V6 at the time.)

Verizon tried to force a V6 upgrade to get the phone ready for GB.

It naturally failed because I had rooted the phone.

I manually used a tot to go to V6, then the same to V7 and GB.

Then through some jiggery pokery and head scratching, I figured out how to get GingerVolt on, and it's been working like a dream since.

I've got some battery issues, but I will see how things work after a battery calibration.

The immediate layout of GB/GV seems to be a bit more intuitive than I had previously had. I don't know whether I have GB or GV to thank for keeping my apps in alphabetical order, and the horizontal scrolling as well.

The V7 upgrade also flew through OneClick with flying colours, and rooting was not an issue.

I've only had GB/GV for less than 24 hours, but I like it a lot more than what I had previously, so that's a start.
