sale is still going on i just picked up the battery about 20mins ago, have not really put it to the test yet but it does make the phone a big bigger i thought the battery was huge BUT if you have big hands and long fingers i think this will make it better for you, i pefer the thickness of the new battery and back i can keep ahold of it now, i highly advise getting this!
[Android] KnightCrusader:
Actually, you can get it for $25 from the website with free 2 day shipping. I just got mine in today. It says $50 on the product page, but when you add it to the cart, it bumps down to the $25 price.

And.... I am back to some dev work finally. Real life got in my way, got promoted at work, got engaged, blah blah blah. I am going to try to pick back up with the ClockworkMod port where I left off last month. :)

[Android] icebear8:
Man that white strat is sexy I'm jelous lol but bad thing is they prob don't make a white cover for the extended battery for it
[Android] icebear8:
so i have a question when i was on 3G with verizon (unlimited plan) i used about 4 gigs a month (mostly with tether to my laptop) but right now since i got my 4G phone last Friday i have since used 6 gigs in a week (non tether mostly facebook, and netflix, and HD youtube) so im gonna guess ill prob use maybe 15-20gigs a month does is that considered the top 5% for verizon to shaft my unlimited plan? i googled it and i see people doing 50-100gigs!

(also netflix kills your battery my phone was at 70% and its on the charger and now its at 40% and has not left the charger lol the charger cant keep up with it i have never seen that happen before lol

another thing in TB i uninstalled the golf and racing game but for some reason it keeps coming back after every restart of the phone!
[Android] KeithRVA:
I used 30gb last month, and that was just regular usage, no tethering. I never bother to turn on wifi since I get 4g everywhere. I haven't been capped, thankfully.

I uninstalled Lets Golf and other bloat with Root Explorer and they are gone for good. I moved the apks into a backup folder in case I need them later to get updates ota.
[Android] KnoxHarrington:
Congratulations on all of the good news and thank you for your hard work on CM!
[Android] icebear8:
What folder is the golf and raceing game in?
[Android] TheLoonyRebel:
There is an folder on the microsd card call "preinstall apps" or something like that. Delete that folder or go inside it and delete the games if you wish.
[Android] dusttones:
That's what I"m thinking. I've got the Best Buy white cover, but will lose it if I upgrade to the extended battery.
[Android] TheGratefulDead:
I used this method_zergrush. I cant install adb through sdk. Thanks for info this worked perfect
[Android] icebear8:
That's cool man happy rooting =)

When using wifi tether and when my phone is still on the charger does the phone still die? This is happing to me on both stock and extended batterys its like the charger can't keep up with the use (I'm using stock charger plug into the wall)
[Android] TheGratefulDead:
only time I had drain while plugged in was on my eris while running wifi teather. Check and make sure when ur plugged to the wall that the status says ac not usb maybe ur cord is messed up or the charging port
[Android] icebear8:
Yea man it only happens on wifi tether, when I use usb tether its fine or justing the phone as normal BUT it does drain when I'm using netflix on the phone while charging

EH2 Full Factory Odin Restore

***I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE!!!****

Ok, thanks to some anonymous friends there is finally an full odin package for the samsung stratosphere (i405)

This is eh2...I have been told the current build running on phones is ei2, so......what does this mean?

It could mean that the stratosphere launched with eh2 and had a quick bug fix ota to ei2, or this was a testing build that was never released :shrugs:

If it was an mr1 ota, then in theory flashing this package, then going into manually push the ota in settings -> about phone should work fine.

having said that, I wouldn't recommend flashing this just for the heck of it...however if you hard brick you may not have another option.

(if anyone knows the answers to the eh2/ei2 situation id appreciate it)

package contains: kernel, stock recovery, bootloader, secondary bootloader, param, cache, dbdata, movinand, cdma radio, and lte radio

flash in odin, or remove the .md5 label from the file and open the package with 7zip and remove the individual components. You can then flash them with heimdall, or remove what files you dont want flashed.

Download SCH-I405.EH2_REL.tar.md5: http://www.multiupload.com/PWCUNEHUQZ

md5: 449a673befc195b82594772bf6e02bbf

edit: been told on rootz ei2 was the launch rom of the phone...either way, ur better off than you were before with some thing to fall back on i suppose
[Android] TheLoonyRebel:
I totally agree. Honestly I feel that once CWM gets finished for the Stratosphere along with some basic ROMs then perhaps XDA will finally give us our own area on here. That's just me however.
[Android] dalladubb:
XDA won't give us a forum at all most likely. They're looking to support hot devices, and I don't think anybody was lining up for this phone. The only reason my old Eris got a forum is because it was one of the first Android phones on the market. I can't blame them for the hot devices 'requirement' as this site is HEAVILY trafficked as a one stop shop for rooting/ROM'ing. This is the first place most people go. Some even believe that the trail ends here completely and if they can't find a root guide for their phone here, it doesn't exist. I would love to try and point people to forums where their device IS supported.

Either way, unless we get a hefty influx of people to actively post here on behalf of our phone (won't happen, most people would rather quick search and move on) I think we need to stick to the main 3: Rootz Wiki, Android Forums, Android Central.
[Android] TheLoonyRebel:
Seeing that Verizon is really pushing the Stratosphere as of lately in their ads along with the many free/nearly free offers that companies like Best Buy and Newegg are offering I feel its a mistake for XDA not to give the Stratosphere its own area. Especially now that we are closing in on getting CWM working on the phone which will lead to all sorts of crazy development done for the phone.

HELP!!!!!

So, I was using heimdall, and like a stupid dumbass, I downloaded my pit file, and created a new heimdall package (heimdall GUI). I then flashed it to my Stratosphere, but like a frigging dumbass(once again), I checked the repartition, basically, my phone is bricked, because it cant find the partition tables i guess(?). doing a factory reset does not work, it cant format the rfs partitions....

I don't understand. But here is the details if anybody can figure it out:

I flashed using this pit file: box.com/s/q2zek4ioiifeooz9hz9v (device.pit)

I flashed kernel using this stock image: box.com/s/bgygm1dq57io07oyxilr (stock-zImage)

and I checked Repartition on the heimdall gui screen...(bad idea..i know)

When devices is plugged in to the wall, no charging screen is displayed, but still turns on with power button, I can get into download mode, and recovery mode fine.

I have attempted 4+ wipe/restores without luck.

The exact text displayed when booted is:

Android system recovery (3e):

lfs done open fail

# MANUAL MODE #

---

When for example I try wiping cache:

I receive error:

E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

---

When for example I try a factory reset:

I receive errors:

E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

and

E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl11

and

(same as wiping cache error)

And then it displays: Data wipe complete..when it obviously isn't.

Please! any help is greatly appreciated! I was literally going to return this phone tomorrow... gosh. now im stuck with it, and a 2 year contract extension.

Thanks, Zach

[Android] skagentech:
You need to use the correct driver.

from the heimdall folder -- launch Drivers > zadig.exe.

Next, goto Options > List all devices

Now select 'Gadget serial' from the USB Device list

Then goto Options > Advanced mode

Use the up and down arrows to switch the target driver to libusb0

Now press Install Driver. You will be prompted to continue because it cannot the verify the driver

press "Install this driver software anyway" or a similar command for your OS.

Now reboot your PC & Phone into Download Mode once again

Device should be detected within 5 minutes. Do not rush it.

Then launch heimdall once again, then use command detect

then command flash --kernel root-zImage

Also, attention to all stratosphere users, after rooted and superuser is installed and setup, update to the most current version (use the su update fixer), after awhile a notification will be displayed in your notif bar saying su binary is outdated, you then can update it. after you have the most current SU binary and superuser apk, it is recommended that you flash back to the stock kernel to remove the yellow caution during bootup; also many users experience issues where applications cannot detect that the phone is rooted unless the phone is back to the stock kernel.

Factory Firmware Heimdall Restore Package

A step by step all inclusive restore utility package has been compiled.

the reason for this compilation is that the earlier released tar md5 is useless when ODIN does not detect the samsung stratosphere (which occurs for a vast majority of users).

Using heimdall and samsung download mode, a full restore is possible, using the eh2 factory image provided by rootzwiki. a heimdall package has been created that is necessary to flash your phone using heimdall. A step by step readme is included.

This executable self extractor includes heimdall, stock and root zImages, readmes, drivers, and the heimdall sch-i405_eh2 factory firmware package.

take this EXE self-extracting package and extract it to your desktop,

the folder will be on your desktop named heimdall (594 MB after extraction)

read: bREADME.txt for step by step instructions.

ALSO--VERY IMPORTANT, BEFORE PROCEEDING I RECOMMEND YOU USE YOUR OWN DEVICES' PIT FILE WHEN FLASHING THE PHONE, to do that you use the heimdall command line interface and download the pit file, for help, use the command 'heimdall help'

the readme has only been created for the windows OS, as the heimdall GUI is required, unless you are fluent in the command line version of heimdall.

readme also walks users through the kernel update from eh2, to ei2, although the baseband system version will remain eh2 until an OTA is available.

[Android] Stonent:
Regarding the hot devices thing, in some ways I can see it but on the other hand, many of us are on some kind of family plan and you're not going to have everyone on rezounds and G-Nexes. Most will wait for a good deal around upgrade time instead of dropping a grand to bring everyone current.

Here's an example of the upgrade path of the plan I'm on with some family members:

Brother In Law - LG Chocolate Touch -> Thunderbolt (Paid 199)

Sister In Law - LG Voyager varient -> Stratosphere (Free)

Mother In Law - LG Cosmos (Free) -> Stratosphere (Free)

Wife - Samsung Alias 2 ($29) -> Stratosphere (Free)

Me - Droid Eris ($29)-> Fascinate (bought off contract for $65) -> ( Ready for upgrade but haven't decided yet)

Spec-wise, they're all pretty close, 4 hummingbirds and a snapdragon.

CWM

thanks to knightcrusader over at rootzwiki for a working release of CWM.

ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.7

Use this at your own risk. If you are not sure what you are doing, or don't know what to do in the event of a problem, don't try it. No one is held responsible except yourself if you mess up your phone while flashing this or using the program to flash something else. As with the rooted kernel, this WILL void your warranty.

Flash this using heimdall (or odin if you know how) like you would any other image, using the command:

heimdall flash --recovery cwm5_recovery.bin

(If you need help setting up heimdall, please reference the rooting guide here.)

Nandroid backup, restore, selective restore, data wipe, and flashing update zips verified working. Also, since this is part of the 5.x version of CWM, Titanium Backup Pro (the paid version) can restore apps from images made from this recovery.

Booting to Recovery:

Currently, the only two ways you can do it is with

from command line: adb reboot recovery

or holding Vol Up + Vol Down + Power when powering on.

Controls for Navigation:

Vol Up/Menu => Up

Vol Down/Home => Down

Back => Back

Power/Search => Enter

BTW this maybe have already posted...

Service mode on this is standard VIA7.1+CMC220 as posted elsewhere (hidden menu unlock) but to get into service mode the other command is incorrect as it runs but shows a blank screen.

Instead simply dial **772, enter the SPC password of 000000 and you will enter TerminalMode.

Let me know what I can do to help.

[Android] p_025:
How the hell is it illegal to reverse engineer the RIL files on our own phones? Sorry for the impertinence, but this is the only thing holding back development for this phone. If it's a matter of "I'm not supposed to have these files without owning the phone" then I'm pretty sure that EH2 ROM should be pulled from all download sites. It makes no sense.
[Android] xboxfanj:
I don't know, but I have a better method. Tell your kernel devs to look at these changes https://github.com/xboxfanj/android...mmit/7f00332811efeb39e98e17c02d1d67e278dddd01 https://github.com/xboxfanj/android...mmit/0d1fa2e4f8e5032e7d100ef7304f211bdfc800d1

That allows us to use the Nexus S 4G RIL and modem on the epic. This helps a lot on custom ROMS like sense because we no longer need to hack SamsungRIL into the framework. This made porting Sense relatively easy. I've got a couple projects I had said I would do before this one, so I won't work on this just now, but after that, if it's still not done, I will try to take care of you guys. I'm working on doing the same thing for the fascinate and the fascinate sources are very similar to the stratosphere's.
[Android] xboxfanj:
You also need to do this https://github.com/bbelos/android_d...mmit/80b439f53c4ab5ca2a16aac000d31f59c2208b41

and then Odin the Nexus S 4G modem and add the nexus s 4g ril files in lib bin and vendor and modify build.prop to link to it and get rid of the SamsungRIL references.
[Android] acejavelin:
So I guess I will not give up hope on this phone yet!!! Thanks, xboxfanj, for all the work and knowledge you share with us all!!!
[Android] p_025:
I don't know what all that stuff means, but please, please, finish up your other projects so you can get to it! We're desperate for an ICS or even JB AOSP ROM for this phone. Touchwiz is just awful. I don't care about CyanogenMod but as far as I know, this is the last hurdle to cross before Android source ports can be put on this phone. AOSP would be great, CM9 would be a dream.

EDIT: None of those are Verizon phones, are they? And certainly none of them are LTE? Could this even be a problem, or will that sort of thing take care of itself with the existing RIL files anyway?
[Android] xboxfanj:
The non Verizon shouldn't matter since I can use Verizon on my epic with the existing ril files. However, with this approach, you may be right that lte won't work.
