[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:
Do i have to be in usb dev mode??? Because i did try this and just got a black screen. Will there be a download mode logo or something?

Everytime i do that i get the battery logo with 5 white dots under it, i also get a message on windows that tell me the USB device pluges it is not recognized or has malfunctioned...any idea? And if i do it by rom manager, do i need premium version? Also i have to download the recovery in what format?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Plug usb cable in phone not pc take out battery. Put battery back in hold volume up and down plug in usb to computer while hokding volume up and down. Dont let go until the the screen for download mode pops up. Then u let go then u have to push volume up to agree to go into download mode
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:

Did you install the Samsung drivers?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] XAviierG:
Which one did you choose from ROM Manager?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:
Wouldn't be able to root my phone if i didn't...used one click root!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:
Ya whick one did you chose in rom manager...the latest model that shiws up is the galaxy s i9000
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cue_32:
Use the T-Mobile galaxy s 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cue_32:
Assuming you got drivers installed from KIES...

Enable debug mode

power off phone

Hold up+down volume buttons together, and power on. Wait until you see the confirmation screen (has a big android on it)

Volume up to confirm.

If you're planning on using ODIN, make sure Kies is completely off. Not even the process in task manager.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:
This is to enter recovery. Not download

Any help?????????????
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] XAviierG:
If you have root just install the recovery through ROM manager
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:
did you read the thread?? I was asking what device should i chose to install recovery? The GS2 doesnt show up in the list!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] XAviierG:

Go SMS doesn't work right. It doesnt come up with contacts when you get a text from someone in your address book, and a lot of other things. Other then that, most apps are minimally effected, menu button in Facebook, etc.

Can someone post step by step instructions for flashing stock bootloader? One of the first things that I did to my SGS2 I777 was download leaked version of 2.3.5. I downloaded the i777 UCKH7 sbl.tar but I am obviously missing something as I can't even get this to open. I have flashed other things with odin such as Entropy512's stock kernel and unnamed rom v1.3.1 and I have never had a problem. What am I missing?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I'd like to help but you don't give enough information.

Are you sure you need to do this. It's risky.

Did you actually install this on your phone, or just download it?

You don't open it. This is an Odin flashable .tar file.

If you installed these two files, it was with ClockworkMod Recovery, not odin. There is no odin flashable .tar file for either of these. A statement like this indicates that you need to do some reading.

The implication of your post is that the first thing you did with your phone was to flash the 2.3.5 leak (I'm guessing UCKJ2) without having a clue what your were doing. You may not get too much sympathy here. But if you will give more details of your situation and problem, I'll try to help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mailman64:
Thanks for the reply. I have been doing that but I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for. I'll keep looking. Thanks again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mailman64:
I have read alot about this as I am trying to learn about android (noob). I can not learn everything right away, but I will keep reading and learning as time goes by. Obviously there is alot to learn. You answered my question. I really do appreciate your reply. In the future I will try to explain the situation better. Yes I did install 2.3.5 which changed the bootloader and was confused about this file so I asked before screwing up my phone. From your response, maybe I will just live with the new bootloader. Thanks again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
There's always some risk flashing bootloaders. If you leave the modified bootloader, the only difference I know about is that you will not be able to reset the flash counter with a jig. Other than that, it probably doesn't matter. If you want to flash the sbl.tar file, you would do that with Odin3 version 1.85 or 1.82. Put the tar file in the PDA slot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mailman64:
Thanks for your help. I decided to flash the sbl.tar file through odin and everything went perfectly. I was able to use my usb jig to reset the counter. Now I have unnamed rom (which I love) zero counter and no exclamation point. Thanks so much for your time!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
I know when you reboot a p.c. you dont lose any setting . I get the feeling that is not the case with Android. Can someone confirm?

Thanks and sorry for the noob question.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Pirateghost:
wtf?

of course you dont 'lose settings' by rebooting.

what exactly makes you think it would work otherwise?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
Well it seems from stuff that I have read, that a reboot is often compared to a factory reset?

It did not make sense that a reboot would wipe the setting, but I just wanted to be sure.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Pirateghost:
a reboot is not compared to a factory reset.

i dont know what you have been reading, but a factory reset is definitely not equal to rebooting the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
+1 all you settings remain intact when u reboot the device. Think about how much of a pita it would be if it did not. No one would buy an android device, and if it could not save you settings data then also your Apps would be lost upon each boot. I have no idea where someone would have claimd this but its so far from the

A factory data/wipe reset does remove all user data
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
amazing........i loved this question

i may put that in my Sig
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
Thanks AGAIN Silver! I have had an Android for all of three weeks, but if it were any Win

sys I would be right at home.

I had read on a few sites that a reset would clear all of your personal info and any d/l s/w?

My next step is to root the phone. It's too bad that you can't just boot from a back up if you mess up, and just reinstall the whole O/S...but from what I can tell, you can't just get a virgin copy of the Android O/S.?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Well in this thread it is the virgin copy of our factory firmware. If u ever mess up u can use Odin in this thread to flashing back to stock.... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342348

But also u can make backups that restore every thing before u messed up which will fix ya in most situations. Its called a nandroid backup. Once u root boot into cwm recovery, and click back up restore then select backup. Now anytime u want to go back to how your phone was when u made that back up u just ...boot into cwm click backup restore select restore and choose that restore point..... its just like the system backup/ restore in windows
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
THANKS AGAIN!!

Nandroid requires root, right? I guess that's why some are nervous when delving into new territory..like me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Yeah u need to be rooted and have cwm recovery. You do the nandroid backup/restore in cwm recovery
[Captivate General] Captain Zero:
Goodbye Captivate, hello Galaxy II.

Finally had it with the quirks on the Cappy over the last year: the screwy back/home button, the flakey GPS and the real lack support with new ROMs.

Picked up my GSII and bit the bullet on a new 2 year AT&T contract. I have a grandfathered unlimited data plan (30$/Mo) and they absolutely hate me, I do a minimum 10GB/mo and usually closer to 20. I ignore the threats and emails. With the 4G/H+ that will only get worse. Initial speed tests hit 5-6Mbps, almost double what I used to get.

Initial observations;

- Lightweight (plus?)

- Oddly flimsy back battery panel

- Power connector on the bottom, finally.

- Screen is bigger and gorgeous

- Gorila glass doesn't rainbow or smudge as much but does attract lint.

- It's FAST. Hitting the Gallery is instantly populated, even with a 16GB external that's packed with HD photos, movies and music. Can't stress this enough, this thing is SNAPPY.

- Badly Bloated. While this is to be expected, AT&T really went overboard. Nothing a root wont fix.

- Much better battery life. It's almost double what my highly tweaked Cappy would get and this SGS2 is still stock.

- GPS is INSTALOCK. No, really. Tested this all over Los Angeles and it's been flawless.

- Faster, more responsive browsing. I haven't confirmed this yet, but it seems to be using different DNS servers to resolve names? Hitting a URL would normally involve typing it in and waiting for the lookup to occur, it's practically instant now on any URL. Maybe they're pre-cached? Again, haven't looked into this.

- Overpriced. Even on "sale" it cost me $70 and that included trading in my Cappy, plus I had to renew for 2 more years.

Bottom line is that Samsung seems to have addressed many of the glitches that plagued the Captivate. Running GB (UCKH7) stock is an obvious factor; It comes with 2.3.4, and 2.6.35.7 kernal.

All of those things help but, overall, the hardware is a considerable leap. It's an impressive phone and I recommend it to anyone considering an upgrade.

Not sure if anyone really cares.

Just saying.
[Captivate General] npt1988:
why sII instead of skyrocket?(both phones were free on amazon last week by the way)

I'm not due for an upgrade until April though :(

i was under the impression it was new contracts only and it seems to me that everyone who reviews the skyrocket likes the OG GSII better

Has anyone seen John Connor?
[Captivate General] GalaxySdude:
I totally agree with Captain Zero's observations. A friend of mine picked up the AT&T GSII, and after playing with it the three of us with Captivates are super jealous. The phone is phenomenally fast. I'm running Teamhacksung's ICS and another is on CM7 with a mild OC, but nothing we do compares to the smoothness of the GSII. Even the Skyrocket has the slightest stutter from time to time when I was playing with it at the AT&T store.
[Captivate General] mossination:
Lol the skyrocket was the phone that reportedly exploded in someones pocket. Not the OG. I think.
[Captivate General] capnoob:
I'm sold!!

I just upgraded to SGS II on friday and i absolutely love it. Yes the screen is bigger & brighter. The thing runs like it's on red bull concentrate! And that's before i root and overclock it...

So here's a rundown on my first impression. My cappy never got over 16mb down on my wifi connection - the first run of my speedtest.net app get me 34mb down - 1 point for sgs 2.

Second, i was able to download and install all my apps from the app store one by one FASTER than my cappy did it with titanium backup, that alone almost made me cuss around my children!

Third, browsing is stupid fast - it almost never hiccups on pages.

Fourth, 4g is awesome and i've never been able to get 1.5mb upload with ANY modem on captivate, let alone 6mb down and not even on 4g.

5th, it's lighter and the batter lasts about 40% longer than my cappy.

The camera has a FLASH! You can even download an app to use the flash as a flashlight.

Well done Samsung! Now lets see what i can screw up by rooting this baby :D

P.S. I did not upgrade to the skyrocket because it does not have Gorilla glass AND even though the processor is clocked faster, it does not perform faster in tests... I'll stick with this one for now.
[Captivate General] Oz.:
Where did you find it at this price? Do you happen to have an ad/flier (for price match purposes)?
[Captivate General] hitchb:
Don't know where he went, but Radio Shack had the phone last week for $49 with new activation or upgrade. I think that ended 11/30.

I'd also like to thank the OP for the info. It's helpful and relevant to us Cappy owners that are thinking about jumping to the SGS2. Never could understand why some people feel the need to be douchey on the internet.
[Captivate General] Captain Zero:
I went to a local Target in Los Angeles. It wasn't a good deal and I could have done better by shopping around. The $70 included taxes and my trade in, their sale price was $149.

Big problem. I have a Lexar 32gb sd card and today it seems to have went corrupt.

I noticed it when my ring tone change from a song to default. if i put the sd card in my PC and try to read from it it says card needs to be formated. Please tell me there is a way to recover the info on the card??? when i put the sd in the phone it says preparing then says safe to remove sd card.

TIA

[HTC Sensation] AmeesingNoob:
He said he wanted to recover the files on the SD card, not how to get the **** thing working:).

You might want to check if all of the connections are clean. If they're not, a format the ****-error is likely to happen. Pure alcohol might do the trick:).

If it doesn't, you could search Google or the forums for terms like 'recover corrupted micro SD'.

Good luck!

[HTC Sensation] kooskoos1814:
I've an other question. I made the mistake to format my SD card with CWM and now it's only a 4 GB card (it should be 8 GB). Does someone know how I can force format it to 8 GB (with Windows or Mac OS disk utility, I can't expand the size anymore, just reformat it) ?
[HTC Sensation] celelivada:
you can use sdformatter, a great and simple tool for those types of things, or you can download easus partition manager, its free and pretty good software for drive management.
[HTC Sensation] mattbutsko:
If you want to make a linux disc, such as Ubuntu, gparted is one of the best tools available for examining, repartitioning, flagging, and fixing disks. I believe you can just download gparted and boot it from a CD or flashdrive, but I think just downloading a linux distribution is easier.

My galaxy nexus came today and as soon as I got it I copied several items to the sd card including my ringtones and a custom rom.

I haven't flashed anything yet, but now I can no longer copy anything to the internal storage. When trying to copy anything with windows explorer, I get an error message:

"the device has either stopped responding or been disconnected"

I have tried multiple PCs and USB cables with no luck. I was, however, able to copy music to the device using Winamp.
