[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeAshelby:
Thanks AzureusPT: I'd definitely argue that there shouldn't be a problem with there being a Stock rom on there.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean by flashing the "same PDA version as the Rom installed"; could you elaborate? The last ROM I managed to get working was XWKI4 - and that was wicked (save for the lack of sim!).

Spannaa: I can't get any of those firmwares (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113928) working via Odin... Am I being a complete noob?

When I flash these roms, the phone reboots, then gets stuck at the boot animation. I did notice that when it's installing it says something about being unable to write to 'system/csc/TMU' or something similar; could that have something to do with it? If so, is there anything I should be doing to make that work?!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spannaa:
Not sure what you're doing wrong but, after rooting my sgs2 using CF-Root, I checked I could get back to stock by flashing the above firmware via Odin (following the instructions here).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeAshelby:
OK. I'll take you through my process, and see what you think!

I download the pair of files (firmware and kernel).

I extract these zips into a directory.

I open ODIN3 v1.85.

I put the kernel in PDA

I put the firmware in CSC (I have tried a few combinations of these)

I hit start.

Now, sometimes it gets stuck at the end of the copying process (just before the reboot). If I reboot manually it tries to install.

Other times it appears to install properly (ODIN says PASS! though the phone does have an error as above (unable to write to 'system/csc/TMU' or something similar).

Then it gets stuck on the boot animation.

It works fine with these firmwares: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278, but they're not branded to t-mobile.

I'm worried that if I send it off they will say I've voided the warranty by installing non-t-mobile firmware. I've always stuck with official firmwares to be on the safe side - but now I seem stuck with unbranded ones.

Any thoughts?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeAshelby:
I am so sorry... I'm a complete idiot.

I seem to have completely missed the very top sticky on this forum: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1108499

This is the one that's helped. I'm now back on branded ROM, and all is well. Thank you one and all for your help and patience... please don't flame me!

One more question. How do I know if I need to use USB jig? As far as my phone goes I don't have the yellow triangle, and it says "Custom Binary: No" on the boot loader when flashing a rom... I've only ever installed official roms (no custom roms) - so does this mean I'm safe warranty-wise?

If I need USB jig, can this be done via software, or do I need the dongle?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
**** man what are you doing???? Firmware and kernal both get flashed in the PDA section. So you can only flash 1 at a time. First firmware then kernal if required.

The firmware should already have a kernal built in.

Try again.

Edit: While I was posting it seems you got it sorted.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeAshelby:
Thanks sxi200... Like you say, I got it sorted, but that's good to know for next time!

So the firmware has the kernel built in, so that doesn't need flashing - unless all I've done is root with an unofficial kernel - correct?

Any thoughts on the USB Jig thing?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Yep. You only really need to flash a kernal when you want a custom one like cf root, speedmod, siyah etc. These can add things like root, cwm recovery for custom rom flashing, overclocking ability etc.

As for usb / download mode jig its mainly used to remove the yellow triangle and binary counter which show after flashing unofficial kernals in Odin. Its also an easy quick way to get into download mode. I bought one off eBay for $2 delivered.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spannaa:
In download mode, if there's no yellow triangle and it says

Custom Binary Download: No

Current Binary: Samsung Official

then you don't need the USB Jig.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeAshelby:
Thank you guys! I really appreciate that! I can go back to the t-mobile shop with my head held high!

I really appreciate all your help!
[LG Optimus 3D] androidfanboi:
Hello there

I havent done any kind of rom building for well over a year now and it seems that the update script seems to have changed to updater script along with update binary.

can anyone give me information or point me somewhere where i can learn this new method and can the building of the updater script and binary be an automatic process? as if it can i will write some software to do that and post it here as there is no where i can find with this information so must be frustrating for those not in the know

also do the update packages still require signing?
[LG Optimus 3D] androidfanboi:
does nobody seriously know about the updater script nor update binary? normally i would post in development forum where i would get an answer but get told off for posting there. At the end of the day once i know the format i will write an application that would do it all for you.

looking through several updater scripts i get the whole mounting partitions thing to then write information to. the whole symlink thing with busybox, every rom i unzip seems to have different symlinks, is there a reason for this or can i look to see what symlinks are needed for a certain rom? this so far seems to be the bit im strugglin with?any help will be thanked with a donation

Ok, When i install a new rom on my EVO 4g ( any ROM ) at first when i have my usb cable plugged in it shows the connect to PC options in the notification section but after google syncs with the device it looses this ability to sync with pc and that icon disapears. The last rom i flashed was Prime xl 3d.:confused:

Have any of you ran across this issue?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mewmew!:
I've got a few paid apps that have a second 'key' app that can't be hidden with a setting in the app (setDNS Pro, CamScanner Pro, 1 or 2 others). I don't like seeing what is essentially two entries for the same app in my list, so I was wondering if anyone knows a way to remove the 'key' app from the list without uninstalling it, so I don't have to see it in my list but while allowing the apps they belong to to recognise that the paid version is installed.

On a Droid Bionic with Liberty 2.0

thanks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cadavar:
Launcher Pro allows you to hide any app from the list. I'm sure other launchers have this option as well. Another option would be to install Titanium Backup Pro, you can freeze the apps that you do not want and they will not run or show up in the list. Their counterparts will not break by freezing them.
[HTC EVO 3D] Alanmw86:
Anyone else having a lot of Force close issues? I've essentially lost Root for the time being because Superuser is non-functioning.

I'm unable to manually uninstall/reinstall an older version of SU and I also can't roll back the recent update.

I tried flashing an older version of SU but to no success still same issues...which didn't make a ton of sense to me, haha.

Was wondering if someone else is having this issue and if they've found a work around short of reflashing or nandroiding.

I unfortunately just did a ton of modifications to my setup and didn't get around to Nand before SU started to bork up on me.
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Have you tried going into settings/manage applications and uninstall the update?? Also have you tried opening up su and hit menu then settings then check for updates??? Or have you tried downloading a updated one from the market??? Or try clearing data from settings/manage applications??

[HTC EVO 3D] Alanmw86:
unfortunately I've tried all of the above ><
[HTC EVO 3D] Alanmw86:
Can't explain how on earth I got it running but... I ended up being able to uninstall and reinstall SU updates finally and then was able to run the binary update through SU again this morning and it worked.

some App's still crashed but if you reinstall them from market it resolved my issue.

I believe flashing an older version of SU was what made it able to uninstall updates but thats my best guess

- Also as I said i did try this before and it did NOT work, so no promises ><
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Many users have had a lot of FC issues on some of the latest versions of Superuser. Personally, I removed it until the issues are fixed, although I wouldn't recommend that approach for everybody. In place, I loaded the su binary built in the AOSP compile.

The latest version of Superuser seems to fix previous issues, for the latest information, the developer keeps his blog fairly updated and provides details/clarity around the issues: http://androidsu.com/

Hope that helps!
[HD7 General] Lifear:
Since two weeks i have officaly upgraded my HD7 Firmware to the latest one with Internet Sharing. Since this date, my battery life is very short. Before the Update and with 100% Battery Power, i have 1 Day, 9 hours Time, after the Update with the same Battery Level only 16 -18 Hours.

Today i have downgraded to the last state via Zune an voila, now i have again 1 Day, 9 Hours remaining time with 97% Battery Level.

For some minutes i have written a mail to HTC Support and will wait for a response. Can anyone here report the same problem?
[HD7 General] Kyrasym:
I'm having the same problem

Hello bilbo_b,

I seem to be experiencing the same problem as you are. And I have been searching everywhere for an explanation for this problem. I think it is really more of a software bug showing the correct/wrong values (at the moment i don't know which is showing the right values). Before the update, it was showing as mentioned, 1 day and xxx amount of hours. However, I found that it is not really accurate because it seems like although the values shown are different, I am actually having the same amount of uptime.

Has HTC replied you?

Regards,

Jiesen
[HD7 General] Lifear:
Yes, they have replied, but not es expected. The supporter means, that there are new features in this new firmware and i must live with a little cheaper akku load. thats a shame. that are 15hours difference, thats not a short time of some minutes or one hour!. Again i have replyed to the support mail, that im not exited about the situation. the next response was a mail with some energy saving tips (disable WLAN, disable GPS and so on...). There was now a direct response, that they will investigate in to the problem. Thats the actual state since yesterday evening 6:00 pm German standard time.

what i can say is: it is not only a bug showing incorrect values. it seems that the showed times are most correct. my device has a real shorter life per day with the FW Update. I will wait now for new response from HTC.
[HD7 General] Kyrasym:
I see...Seems like the only way to have longer battery life is to do nothing on the phone. If that's the case, then why have all those features right? LOL. I did try to talk to the customer service of HTC too. They told me to try a battery test i.e. turn off all services (turning on airplane mode), turn off all syncs etc. change the display to BRIGHTEST and screen lock to NEVER, from a full charge. If the battery goes below 60%, I am supposed to send in my device for a repair.

I have done that and it did not go below 60% but close. I guess that just rules out the possibility that it is a hardware issue. However, it does not really explain our problem here. :(. Looking forward to your updates! thanks bilbo_b
[HD7 General] Lifear:
After getting no wise answer from HTC, i have updated my HD7 again. This time the 7740 Update and the HTC FW Update together (last time the 7740 was not available, only the FW). After Updating (which takes some more time as before) my battery was 100% and i have 1 Day and 11 hours remaining. i will see what going on the next days. i will watch this.
[HD7 General] Kyrasym:
I gave up and finally decided to flash a custom rom. I have also just started using anker battery with a 1300mah capacity. I will let you know how it goes.
[HD7 General] Lifear:
The battery works at the moment. all is fine. i hope this is now permanent. i will watch it further.

Edit 1: After 1 Recharge, i have 1 day and 15 hours remaining. the last charge was going down to 9% after 1 Day and 14 hours with normal use. great so far. today i will try internet sharing and will look at the battery again.

PS: normal use is: some surfing via WLAN, some surfing via GPRS at a high speed train. normal EMail via Exchange Push service, using of GPS, calls, SMS and so on. there was a 7 hours trip with a highspeed train and fast changing phone cells within this charge.
[HD7 General] wheresmybeaver:
I got the internet sharing / HTC firmware update a few weeks ago and immediately it was very noticeable that, without changing my habits at all, the battery was lasting only about 50-60%% of what it used to. I used to never have to charge the phone in the middle of the day and would usually make it to 11pm no problem before having to charge. However in the last few weeks I was finding the battery dying at about 3 or 4pm, unless I started charging. I have spare batteries and these made no difference.

However, the 7740 update arrived for me last week and the battery is back to pre-internet-sharing levels; I once again make it through an entire day (unless I've been using internet sharing for a few hours; that does obviously use up a fair bit of battery). So obviously something was fixed by someone in that 7740 update, even though I've seen no announcements or change logs to confirm this.

NFC is partially working for Samsung-based ROMs now.

There are differences in CM7 that prevented the fix we used from working in CM7 - in fact the NFC support CM7 did have was causing major battery drain so it was removed.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackattack23:
So I was trying to downgrade my busybox to use the v6 Supercharger script. I had 1.19.3 installed. Was trying to go down to 1.18.3 I believe.

I used BusyBoxInstaller from the market to install the older one, and when it tried to download and install it said it didn't have the permissions and failed even though Superuser was allowing the app.

I figured it might of installed regardless so I went to ScriptManager and that wouldn't open, just FC. So I went back to BustBoxInstaller, and it started stating that my phone wasn't rooted and wouldn't open. I went to RootExplorer and that just hangs and then FC's. Restarted the phone, same issues. Tried a different busy box installer (BusyBox from the market) and it states some files are missing and it won't install either.

I used EsFile Explorer and I go into System/Xbin and it shows a busyBox file there, but I can't even mess with that. It can't be moved, renamed or anything. Not sure if it should even be messed with.

I tried searching this issue up around XDA, couldn't find anything similar.

Anyhow, did I just mess up pretty good and do I need to reflash my ROM? or is there a quick fix without all the mess?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
I think I would reflash the ROM, then use the busybox installer on a fresh flash, before you restore anything, to install the version of busybox that you want
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
There are two busybox installers that I'm aware of, have you tried both? I prefer the newer one on the market - I think it's by jrummy. Also make sure the install location is correct.

If you've somehow reverted to s-on then the file won't install either. I doubt this is the case but I remember one case of someone having issues with something to do with a file in system and after trying everything they finally realized they were somehow s-on.

I saw something about pushing it with ABD tool. Just not at home to try that out. Thanks for the help guys. Probably gonna have to wipe and start over.

I have this same issue. Ever since the busybody updated I cannot do anything. I can't go into root explorer, install any apks will not connect to wifi or wimax
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JollyGrnReefer:
Want to point out a few things, if your running scripts use Busybox 1.18.2. Secondly, the app in the market, Busynox Installer works wonder, however, sometimes when you change the version number it doesn't stick. Today, I had to cycle through installing 1.18.2 four times until it stuck. After installing another version, use root check to verify the version of busybox installed before proceeding to using any scripts. Also, check with the rom your using and make sure theres no issues. Each rom behaves differently.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackattack23:
Thanks for the help. Again though I can't get into BusyBox Installer or BusyBox app (both from the market) So I really don't have a choice to get it to stick or to pick where it installs. I wound up having to just go back and recover off an old ROM backup I had.

I did try go back to 1.18.2 but BusyBox Installer (the one by Rummy) for some reason it wouldn't install. It kept saying that I didn't have permission and then another pop-up would come saying "superuser access permitted" or something like that. I hit install a few times, and kept getting the same error. I figured it was just a bug in the app. I tried going into the Script manager but it would FC without opening. I then tried going back into BusyBox installer which then claimed that I wasn't rooted (even though I show S-Off) and then would close. I then tried going into RootExplorer to delete the script thinking that might be the issue. Root Explorer would just hang. It'd stay on a black screen..say "this is taking longer then normal. Force close or wait" I hit wait 3 times, and no luck. Tried restarting multiple times, same issues.

Earlier today it stared effecting my connectivity or so I assume because all of a sudden I'd be roaming, the not, then I would be again..on and off all day. I never had that issue on that ROM before this whole busybox issue.

Anyhow. Again, I just reverted back to the old ROM I had and am going to sit on it for a bit.

Thanks to everyone for the help, ideas, tips, etc. It's greatly appreciated.
