go back to qbking's videos. he has a few in order to install the acs recovery and make it stick, along with the new "stock" update from sprint. once you apply these installation steps, your gps, keyboard issues, and other things will be fine. i do apologize, i cannot post any links on here just yet. but i did do the steps in his videos and i have no problems.
[Motorola Droid X2] prj71:
My DX2 has been rooted using the Motorola One Click Root. Superuser is installed. Is busybox also installed during the root process?

I was reading something or other the other day about some customization that I was thinking of doing, but it stated that I should have busybox installed. So I didn't move forward with whatever it was doing because I wasn't sure busybox was installed on my phone during the root process.

What does busybox do or what is it used for?
[Motorola Droid X2] imchairmanm:
Busybox is basically a pared down version of a bunch of common *nix utilities in one download. It's used so that you can easily install the command line functionality you need for scripts and applications without needing to manage and maintain a bunch of different utilities that have extraneous capabilities.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] erangalp:
Hi all,

I'm hoping I'm posting this in the right place and with the right format.

I have a rooted T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 device, and after trying to install Villainrom 3.0.0 (VillainROM-3.0.0-signed.zip) through the Clockworkmod recovery console, it is completely bricked. Installation said it finished successfully, I then chose 'Reboot' through the CWR console, and the device went dead.

It won't turn on, or boot into recovery or download modes. I removed the battery and SIM for 10 minutes, and same results. When connecting the device to the computer, I hear the "Device failed to connect" sound. If I try to press the power button, I hear the "device connected" sound followed immediately by the "device failed to connect" sound. The fact that it is responding at all to the USB cable being connected, is the only hope I have left that I can do something about it. Odin does not show it connected though (I saw in another thread that someone was able to use it despite the device not turning on).

I would appreciate any advice before I try ordering a USB jig and / or visiting a support center and hoping they somehow replace it within warranty by making another story.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sl___:
Next time you should really be careful when installing ROMs................. Make sure they are supported by your phone............... That's all the advice I can give.

Your only options now is to try a USB jig or sending it to a support center so...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kriEv:
Yup, you need to make sure the ROM you want is supported.. other than our dev section, everything else you will find is for the i9100.

Completely different phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shehrammajid:
I think your only options are jig or warranty
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jerdog:
Yeah - this happens when you flash a ROM for a totally different device.

You could try flashing a T989 kernel and see if that helps - but the International SGS2 has a Exynos processor - yours is a Snapdragon - along with some other differences.

You can also try using ODIN to flash a stock tar and ROM back - it's not really bricked - but you'll need to do some reading to hopefully avoid such disastrous results again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] erangalp:
I had a previous generic Galaxy S2 and installed roms without a problem. How come the T-mobile is a completely different device? aside from some carrier bloatware, it's basically the same hardware, no? at least everything I read led me to believe that.

How could I use ODIN when the device doesn't respond to any kind of button combo and doesn't go into download or recovery modes? is there a way to force ODIN to recognize a bricked device?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TJBunch1228:
The answer to your question is common knowledge and in fact has already been answered in this thread even. Le sigh.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] erangalp:
I appreciate everyone trying to help, but this is not very helpful. Obviously it wasn't common knowledge for me, otherwise this wouldn't have happened - and I did read up a lot about this. And where in this thread does it answer about the difference in hardware?

Please bear in mind that I'm not an android developer, so what seem like common knowledge to you about internal difference in devices is not that obvious.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jessejames111981:
How many times in these forums does it say don't flash if you don't know what you are doing. If you don't know what you are doing ask questions. Maybe bricking your phone will teach you a lesson.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
are you able to go into Download mode with a USB Jig?

(you can always make your own if you can add up enough spare resistor to amount 301k)

if you can then you can try flashing the stock Odin ROMs
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jerdog:
Hmm - well let's see... a simple Google search to compare the phones would tell you that it's definitely not the same device. A little more reading might be in order though...

1. different screen sizes

2. different SoC (system-on-chip, i.e. processor)

3. different basebands/radios

4. etc.

All of those combine to a different device.

Now as relating to ODIN - I honestly don't see why you couldn't get into ODIN. A jig might help but I doubt it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kriEv:
With very little research....

Galaxy S2 (International) - i9100

Dual-core 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor, Mali-400MP GPU, Exynos chipset

T-Mobile/Telus Galaxy S2 - T989/D

1.5 GHz Scorpion dual-core processor, Adreno 220 GPU, Qualcomm APQ8060 Snapdragon chipset

This difference in specification should be the FIRST thing keeping you away from flashing a i9100 ROM on a T989...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jerdog:
Well - how about this answer given above which does in fact provide the answer for you:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] erangalp:
How can you know what you don't know? I have previously rooted my galaxy S2 and installed various ROMs without a problem. I now have this new T-mobile device since I switched carriers. I could I know that what worked for my previous Galaxy S2 won't work for this one? why should I "be taught a lesson"?

I would really appreciate if someone could give me a helpful answer - I can't use ODIN to flash since I can't boot up the device in any mode. Is there any way to make ODIN recognize a bricked device? the computer does make the USB connected sound for a sec there. Please guys, anything helpful instead of telling me how "should've known", because really, if I could I would. Nobody here ever had a faulty ROM installation?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TJBunch1228:
Jerdog covered the differences in hardware for you. In fact it was exactly above your post explaining that you were unaware of the differences in hardware. 95% of us here are not devs... All you gotta do is read. There are dozens of threads already from folks who have already made your mistake. Read read read. And if you think you've read enough, read more. The difference in processor is one of the most commonly known and discussed things about this phone. Good luck with your phone.

Edit: regarding an actual solution, just try to do a warranty exchange. Play dumb.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Krooked22:
This thread happens 30 times a day, very annoying. People will never learn
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] erangalp:
Thanks, will do that.

Sorry guys, it was an honest mistake. I didn't bother googling it, because I assumed it was the same hardware. Obviously, a sorry mistake, but we're all human. Thanks again to all who tried to help, sorry if annoyed anyone with my problem (and I did search the forum before posting, none of the other threads offered any solutions to my case).

Cheers
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Krooked22:
If you just assumes it was the same, that basically means you are.clueless and don't even know anything about the phone, in other words, you should not be flashing if you don't know what you are doing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pulser_g2:
Yup, it's unfortunate - people try to flash VR onto their device, then find it's not compatible...

If there's something I can do to the zip to prevent it flashing on these devices, I will gladly do it, but since they bear the SGS2 name, the standard check for "galaxys2" likely won't help us...

If you try the jig, it SHOULD in theory work, if the hardware is fine. But I have no experience of this, it's a case of stabbing blind in the dark :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jerdog:
Hey - we all make mistakes - and you own up to it - that's a good thing.

I wouldn't personally recommend taking it back for a warranty exchange and playing dumb. If you can go without your device for a few days go on eBay and get a jig. Try that and then flash with ODIN back to stock. It's better than driving up the overall costs for others (trickle-down) for something you did yourself.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netstat_EVO:
I am having some difficulties with my newest Android toy...

There are services that die, and apparently can only be restarted at boot time.

In my logcat exports I see this every time it goes to try and restart:

W/dalvikvm( 4992): Refusing to reopen boot DEX '/system/framework/com.motorola.android.frameworks.jar'
W/dalvikvm( 4992): Refusing to reopen boot DEX '/system/framework/com.motorola.android.ptt.common.jar'

Can I modify the permissions on these to allow them to be restarted?

What designates these as a "boot DEX"? Permissions? Location?

Can I place a symlink somewhere outside of /system/framework as a workaround to make them restartable?

I'm not really familiar with messing with frameworks so any help would be greatly appreciated.

HI guys am a very much like and addicted to SENSE ROMs.So guys tell me when will be the next new sense rom out. Very stable rom like CM7….. I was eagerly waiting for that to release!!!!!!

So if it released then the sense version will be 3.0 or 3.5?????

When I will expecting to release???????????????

Thank you guys……

AM SO :confused::confused:
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R2D2_SW:
There's been numerous attempts to port a sense 2.1 rom and sense 3.5 rom. The results for the former are pretty much the same throughout, i.e. bluetooth is not working properly. So if you are not using bluetooth at all, that could be a good option for you. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1260578

As for Sense 3.5, the developers have yet to find a way to make the rom boot.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1285714

With CM7 being out there and stable, and with ICS source code released, I am not sure we can really hope to have either of these sense roms fully functional as it appears very little work is being pursued (if at all). You may want to send a message to the developers to have a better answer on this.

Kotaku had a video of the game playing here

Issues

I've had many issues with this game since I purchased it, just won't open, takes many many times trying to open it to finally get it to play, and sometimes it will open, but get to the EA screen and Force Close. Once it finally opens all the way thou, it plays perfectly, never force closes or waffles. If it's been pulled, it was prolly pulled for these issues, many reviewers of the game in the Amazon App Store where having the same problems.

Although when it does play, it's very good. The gameplay is is perfect for a tablet, I was surprised at how well it really played, and the graphics look amazing.

[Omnia 7 General] Regae:
Hi,

I can't update my Omnia 7 with Zune anymore after the Mango update.

My Omnia 7 is Orange UK branded.

SO: 7.10.7720.68

Firmware 0222.11.8.5

Hardware 3.15.0.4

Radio 2424.11.7.2

Bootloader 5.8.1.9

SOC 0.36.2.0

Before all: after the Mango update I noticed that any compass software works as the bluetooth, I can't pair my bluetooth headset.

Now I received a push notification that a new software update is available, I tried to do it with Zune, but step 7 (install upgrade) doesn't works as in past (the progress bar increase slowly). After some seconds Zune reset the phone and after the boot Zune says: error 80180048.

I found a solution from Microsoft, using the "Windows Phone Support Tool", but it can't connect to hte phone, it says:

The phone is not in the 'Connect to PC' state. Please make sure that you follow the instructions and your phone shows the 'Connect To PC' image

Instead I turn on the phone with camera button pressed and I can see the "Connect to PC" image on the phone.

I also tried to use the recovery tool from Samsung (downloadable from the Samsung support website), I enter in download mode (camera + vol up + power on buttons) and the program seems to do its job, but anything change during upgrades...

I read in Microsoft Answer forum that it could be a faulty bootloader problem,

can anyone help me? Thanks

L.
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
I have the same firmware revision numbers as yourself. (I'm on Orange UK Branded) except i'm now on .7740

When you plug into Zune, what update is offered to you? Is it listed as offering Outlook bug fixes and Voicemail bug fixes?

Or does it say it's a Samsung update for windows phone?
[Omnia 7 General] Regae:
Hi,

thanks for your reply.

Yes, Zune offer 7740 update, with Outlook bug fix, ...

But do bluetooth and compass work on your phone?
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
Bluetooth used to work well... since Mango / 7720 it stopped working properly. Now it only reliably connects if i turn WiFi off. Otherwise it will search and find once.. then never again until i soft-reset.

Compass... it's hit and miss. I've tried a few apps and i can't get them to calibrate so no.. not really.

It seems everyone else has been offered a firmware upgrade apart from Orange :/ I don't get why I was sent out the 7740 fix and left on old firmware.

As far as your problem with updating go, did you try the simple fixes of plugging directly into a USB2 port at the back of the PC not using an extension.

And also I always delete all I can from my phone before I upgrade it. On my 8gb phone I don't leave more than 2gb data on it to update and it's been fine for me so far... I just remove things like music and movies as they are easy to re-sync quickly afterwards.

If not i've read of people having that bug resolved with a hard-reset. Although that's annoying for you :/
[Omnia 7 General] Regae:
I tried to connect the phone on a USB port on the PC back, but I've the same problem.

I also hard reset my phone some days ago, but it didn't solve my problem.

...Zune doesn't perform step 8 (installing), now I'm sure it's cause the phone can't enter correctly in download mode.

...I'm annoyed at Orange and Samsung.
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
Hmm :/ I know i had a faulty bootloader version.. i couldnt get into download mode. I had to use a resistor jig.

However when i got mango my bootloader changed and it works now. Can you not enter download mode at all?
[Omnia 7 General] Regae:
I can enter in download mode using the 3 buttons combo (cam + vol up + power), and using the 2 buttons (cam + power), the download mode you enter with the jig connector isn't the same of the buttons combo?

Btw neither if Zune enter in download mode nor if I manually enter with buttons combo to use "Windows Phone Support Tool" I can flash the phone. Zune return error 80180048, the other program says "The phone is not in the 'Connect to PC' state. Please make sure that you follow the instructions and your phone shows the 'Connect To PC' image".
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
No it should be the same. Download mode shows a yellow triangle.

Conect to Pc mode just shows the cable/laptop image as it does when you update the phone.

I'd guess that since you can enter bootloader / download mode that's not the issue...

I'm with you on the whole Annoyed with Samsung though.. Bring on my upgrade and a Nokia!
