!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the same problem, and I couldn't find anyone else w/ it or with answers either.

almost all the same scenario except I have an SGSII AT&T I777 that started out as UCKJ1 and is now UCKH7

My phone started coming up as unknown device. I can not find any remedy to the solution.

Here's my scenario: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1372171

My guess is I might try to uninstall "new" programs that I added to the phone and PC, uninstall kies etc. and drivers, and maybe try and do a restore or refresh or something on my phone and see if I can get to "scratch" and re-start from there.

I installed winamp on phone and reinstalled it on PC for wifi, and it kept mounting/unmounting my SD card from phone to computer each time I plugged it in (I think that messed with my card possibly giving it "unknown")

Or also when I changed my Kernel may have made the phone unknown. Those are the only 2 changes I can assume did this to my phone =/
[Galaxy S II General] Edgarhighman:
any update on your phone?

UPD: My kernel was causing all my problems. Restored to an earlier backup and it had older kernel. All problems were relieved.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] itzbob701:
I just ordered an Epic 4G Touch from Credo Mobile which should arrive next week. They use the Sprint network and I believe the phone comes from Credo with all of the Sprint apps and bloat. I will want to root soon after I activate it and would like to know the best method to root it and recommended ROM. While i am not a total noob to rooting I would probably need an easy fairly foolproof method (I rooted a Verizon Samsung Fascinate and have installed a lot of different ROMs on it).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
One thing people really hate here is when new threads are posted with questions that could easily be answered by doing a simple search. I am not one of those people, just giving you the heads up.

Check the stickies in the dev section, the autoroot is awesome and completely fool proof. I've used it 6 times now.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nspeer:
MetalHead,

thanks for posting the link to the stickies. However, there are many, many pages of stickies and I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say "autoroot". Can you please be more specific as to what root method you used? Are you referring to the (Zedomax) (ACS) thread? I have not read all 40 pages, but it seems that people are having some issues with this method.

Please help shed some light on which method you used.

thanks,

Neil

I'm assuming that if you root you can get mobile hotspot to work even though Credo says they don't 'support it'. Correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
The stickies are just the first group of threads in a section, they are permanently at the top of the list and are designated by a pin to show that they are "pinned" to the top of the page. The auto root is the first thread there. It is perfectly safe, and very easy. All it is is a simple program you run on your windows machine that roots your phone for you. As I stated before I have used it numerous times without any problems at all. Here is the direct link to that thread- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342728

The unlocked mobile hotspot as of now requires a custom deodexed ROM to work but you can use Wireless Tether for Root Users for wifi tethering. The downside to that is you can only create an ad hoc network but the upside is it works with 4G whereas the mobile hotspot does not. Here's the link- http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oregondave:
custom deodexed rom? What is deodexed?

So you're saying I have two options?

an ad hoc network? What does that mean?

How does this compare to the "portable wifi hotspot" on my LG G2x?

Hey Itzbob,

I'm about to do the exact same thing - ordered my Galaxy S II epic 4g touch from credo and will get in the next few days, adn thought i'd do some research to see if anyone's done this before - I got the links for the rooting (thanks _MetalHead_), and that seems easy enough. now that it's beedn about a week since you put the new ROM, do you like it? fast? battery life, etc? also, and this is a total Noob question - did you have to do anything with APN settings and the like to get it to work? I come from the iPhone jeailbreaking/unlocking world, and this will be my first root/ and flashing ROM. since I'm gettinga new phone, i'd love to just do this right away, instead of using it, and then wiping off stuff when i flash it.

any advice appreciated!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] itzbob701:
Sorry for the delayed reply I've been on vacation. As for questions... Battery life is just ok but I am a heavy user. Rooting only without the custom ROM gave me excellent battery life. So far I have also had 2 complete crashes with Calks ROM so make sure you have titanium backup. I wish I knew what caused the crashes, seems like a few apps don't play nice but I haven't been able to pinpoint which ones.

It is fast! Gps, 4G, everything seems to work great.

First of all, thank you so much for your posts, they have been extremely helpful to me so far!

My main question for you is: are there no extra procedures or APN settings or anything at all for a Credo Mobile Galaxy S 2 vs a Sprint S 2?

And in regards to your Credo S 2 --If not, can I just run sfhub's One-Click ODIN with the stock EL13 Modem, Kernel, and ROM for the E4GT (rooted), then do option c3 with Auto Root to get CWM, to allow changing to Calkulin's E4GT v2.5.1a ROM and it's kernel, while keeping the stock EL13 Modem? Can you run the 2.6 ROM as well as the 2.5.1a ROM? Any reason not to run the newer one?

Also can you return you phone to returnable stock from it's current state?

Thanks for any help you can provide! What you guys are doing in this thread is like the only source for Credo S 2 info that I am aware of. :)

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Drewmungus:
Yeah us android geeks not buying the ipad has really helped to make them realize to make their stuff more open and less commie.

By not buying and being silent, how is Barnes and noble going to get the message. Companies are far more likely to listen to paying customers. Remember nowadays XDA is a amazing resource for manufacturers. How many articles have been written about breakthroughs developers made at XDA. Thats free publicity and free development for them.

I am sure Barnes and noble pays somebody to check this forum, and others. That is why I suggested that i somebody wanted to leak something they could anonymously PM somebody on here and get it out that way.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] trippap:
B&N: get the message

I second and third and fourth that. B&N has two markets for their product, and if they purposefully make it very difficult to root the device, they are going to lose one of those markets. I'd buy a Nook tablet tomorrow if I were comfortable with being able to achieve a clean install of a rooted image, but without that, I'll likely go to another device. It would be a shame.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Meeker:
As mentioned before... the XDA crowd is not likely the market for this device due to the fact that the device is most likely lost leading.... It's in no way the interest of BN to provide any of the tools for you to do this.

Don't believe me? Look at the current sideloading situation... People are already on the Android/Amazon markets which technically means money out of BN's coffers...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Drewmungus:
In all reality they didn't make it hard to root at all. Root was achieved by modifying usb drivers and using a known exploit. B&N had plenty of time to lock this tablet down way more than it is. Even sideloading is super easy. The bootloader is another matter all together, still I have a feeling somebody will find a simple workaround
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
>In all reality they didn't make it hard to root at all.

I don't think B&N had much to do with the low-level stuff, just the top-level design. The locked bootloader as has been said was likely for Netflix HD cert, since OMAP4 already had that feature. They didn't need to do anything extra. Otherwise, it's the same custom layer on top of 2.x.

The NT even retained the 1GB user-space which is a carryover from NC. Some modicum of sense would've shown that you don't need 12GB for app space, and would've avoided the bad reviews. Per Occam's Razor, don't attribute malice when incompetence will do.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] boomn:
Quoted for truth. The M-Shield security setup that is locking down the bootloader uses a one-time-programmable e-fuse inside the cpu so that the key it's looking for or the logic to do so can never be reprogrammed. Unless I missing something in their setup I don't see how a bootloader unlocker would be possible. Instead they would have to give use their private key to sign our own files
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yourbrokenoven:
The more I read about the locked bootloader, the more I regret purchasing the tablet. They have, however, made some promising progress with this tablet, and I haven't heard anyone say definitively that it is not possible to bypass this obstacle.

For the record, is the kindle fire's bootloader locked?

[Droid Incredible General] Div033:
OK, now usually I've understood that sense runs at a lower frame rate when scrolling between home screens than GoLauncher or LauncherPro. Live wallpapers have only made things laggier with Sense, til today.

I downloaded the "ICS Phase Beam" LWP from the market and lowered the FPS settings to the absolute minimum (10fps animation, 10fps scrolling) and all of a sudden my sense scrolling has INCREASED in frame rate, delivering a smoother experience than I ever have gotten with a static wallpaper.

This has left me a bit confused as to why things would be smoother with an animated live wallpaper than a static image. Any ideas? Is there somehow a way we could create a "fake" live wallpaper with only a static image to increase Sense's fps? Or is it the fact that static wallpapers are large JPGs compared to this LWP procedurally generated shapes and colors, resulting in less data to be accessed at once or something to that effect?

Regardless, if you're on sense I definitely recommend checking out the phase beam LWP and turning down the FPS to see what I mean :)

Calls don't go through, if I call my phone it is unresponsive, I can't send any texts, and I can't connect to my mobile network.

Hey all. I'm looking forward to picking up a high end flagship phone for christmas, (Upgrading from an LG Optimus T... Blegh) and I am having some trouble deciding what phone. Whenever I think oh, this one, I change my mind. The 3 phones are:

Verizon: Motorola Droid RAZR

Verizon: HTC Rezound

Verizon?: Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I like the thinness of the RAZR, but it's got a lower res. display.

I like the fact that the Rezound has Beats by dre audio drivers, but I don't like the thickness.

I like the plain vanilla of the Nexus, (And the fact that it runs ICS now) but I don't like how the glass is kind of curved.

Those are the 3 I'm looking at, and I would really like some advice. I'm really stuck.

Right first off, I haven't searched the forum as I'm not exactly sure as to what to search for as I dont know the exact problem.

I want to flash a new ROM on my sensation and this was very easy to do on my old Desire. So what I did was:

1. Followed the tutorial to turn S-OFF - Done.

2. Followed Step 2 to install recovery. Put the file into my SD card but then the instructions weren't clear as I couldn't see any options to click Accept as the guide said.

3. Downloaded the Android Flasher app. Did these options:

- Chose sensation from the menu.

- Downloaded Radio "HTC-RIL 2.2.0169HMQ" and clicked the box.

- Clicked the Recovery box and chose the Recovery file I had put on my SD Card originally.

- Clicked Bootloader and chose "MIUI.us_pyramid_1.11.18_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_TwinDragons"

- Chose my own splash screen.

4. Then I clicked flash and everything was ok. Phone booted into Hboot and the program said complete.

5. I rebooted the phone and the splash screen loads then.....nothing.

I was then unsure what I have done wrong. I tried rebooting several times to no success so I wiped the phone and installed MIUI again via the SD card but to no avail. I can still access ClockworkMod Recovery but thats it. Any help would be mucho apreciated.
