[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kwoski:
Hmmmm so after some pondering I decided to try something different. I installed ES file explorer and in the settings menu activated both root settings available, doing so led the all powerful superuser flash screen granting superuser powers to the es file explorer. now using the explorer I have tried deleting the preinstalled apps that came with the phone but imagine they still refuse to uninstall!! What is it gonna take to get rid of em. The operA mini 5 and quick office are annoying me everytime i see them oh oh and the useless samsung apps app that always wants to download a huge update whenever I try using it keeps taunting me. They need to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] alphadog92:
my stock froyo had too many useless apps already installed that i couldnt remove...........so i guess when i flashed GB, those apps simply vanished.

i didnt do anything special with odin to get that result......
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] alphadog92:
i also faced the same problem so i just removed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kwoski:
Now that I am certain I have rooted what next? I was under the impression that rooting would give me powers such as changing app permissions that were installed and those that are to be installed such as whether to allow or deny internet access, deny unnecessary permissions that some apps demand etc. instead I am disappointed to realize it only grants superuser powers to only apps that demand such powers. Meaning it only gives apps with demand for more power the licence to roam free unprohibited instead of offering me the power to curb the powers of some apps that I consider have too much permissions already, am I right?

So now that am root compliant what next? What apps do you lot consider to be essential utilities in a rooted phone that previously I could not install?

Dose anyone have the IPL of Mega?

I erase the block(128K) of nand flash memory at 0x00 by mistake.

I thought it includes the IPL(2KB),for my phone can't init registers of nand controller and other things.

But nand flash still can be accessed with right register values,so i need the IPL.nb to repair it.

Many Thanks!

Hello everybody,

My girlfriend has a Galaxy s II with a custom rom.

Now she wants to another rom and by my phone I always start stock.

Which stock rom must i use for her phone to get to 2.3.6 JVZ?

It's a Europe Telephone. Thanks in advance!

Greetz,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzureusPT:
You can jump from custom ROM to custom ROM without going to stock first.

If you have a custom ROM with ClockworkMod, you can flash a new ROM from there (be sure to format /system and /data to avoid problems).

If what you want is to revert to stock, you can find stock ROMs and instructions in the Android Developement forum.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikkuh007:
Hello,

So it's not really needed to begin from the stock? Not better for the next rom?

System/media and press R/W if not selected

Press paste and click the R/W button so it goes to R/O

VM volume issue

I'm a noob to XDA so can't start thread on this issue...

When I play voicemails on my phone the volume is VERY low. Anyone else having this issue?

I am running UnNamed ROM on my E4GT. VM version is T.5.2.0.24

Was running Sprint stock ROM before and had same issue (don't remember what version VM I had on that ROM)

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
You guys did a full wipe for one app... Do a little reading on adb and you could of pushed that one file right back over to your phone in a couple minutes... Read up on android its very enlightening and honestly will help you out especially if you want to get into rooting and making any changes to your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] omnius1:
From my layman understanding of how android OS works, leaving an app via the home button will place the app in a "pause" state but not remove it from memory until the OS decides it has been paused a while and wants the resources for something else.

Using the back button is supposed to tell the OS that you're done with the app and take the service out of memory usage *IF* the app was coded well enough to cooperate.

But I've noticed on my phone that no matter which method I've used, when I open the stock task manager the apps remain as running services regardless. So does it make any difference on my battery life and system resources which method I use?
[General Questions and Answers] st@matis:
well i would suggest that you should close only apps like games or facebook(because facebook keeps syncing and games use a lot of cpu).Other processes for example keyboard do not affect battery life and should be running in the background

Okay long story short, I was flashing Kang's Bullet kernel to my phone without the battery cover on (I know, I'm a dumb ass) and go figure, the battery pops out. I put the battery back in, and the phone doesn't boot as I sorta expected.

When I plug my phone into the computer it shows up as a qhs_usb device but it didn't have drivers. I searched around, found the drivers I needed here - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14909282&postcount=19 . So now my computer and Odin recognize my phone, but when I try to flash the stock kernel back on the phone it gets stuck on "Setup Connection". I'm having the exact same issue as this guy - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19091572&postcount=7

Does anyone have any insight as to how to get around this problem? While doing some more searching, I read that a USB jig may work. Will that work with our phones or is that only for the first gen Galaxy phones? Thanks in advance for any help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SIISuperUserIIS:
Ha. Don't worry. I bricked my phone on my first try too. What I did was connect my phone to odin again, but just rooted it all over again. It worked too. Download the files you need and use odin to root it again. It should work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
yup, just boot into the Download mode, and flash back to stock via ODIN, then you can go from there

a USB jig will definitely make it easier
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ghettoc401:
Thanks for the help so far guys. Okay unfortunately I can't get into download mode. My phone doesn't show anything on the display, make any sounds or anything. I've tried different combinations of pressing the volume up/down key and inserting the USB cable, but Odin still freezes at the "Setup Connection" step. I think its fully bricked because even when I don't press any keys when plugging in my phone my computer still recognizes it as the same device and Odin still freezes. I've attached a pic to show what I mean. The "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader device I have expanded in device manager is what my computer sees the phone as, no matter what I do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zoth:
*Take the battery out and place it back

*Hold both Vol up + Vol down, and plug the USB cable in.

That will bring you to download mode :)

or leave the batt. out for a min. or 2. Also try a different port see if that helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ghettoc401:
Thanks for all the help guys. Unfortunately I can't get it into download mode. I even tried with my friends jig - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0&noredirect=1 but it doesn't work. I'm just going to consider this a loss and see if I can get another phone used on CraigsList or eBay.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] clemsonboyz:
How I unbricked mine....

I was having a hard time as well after bricking my phone. In desperation, this is what I did....

I went to another pc, my work laptop, and installed the drivers and installed odin on it. Simply plugged the phone in and flashed via Odin back to stock firmware. All it took was swapping pc's. I was having the same issue............

My guess is that somehow since the original pc "knew" the phone, it couldn't decipher the phone in a different state, but it did prove to work on another pc.

I hope this helps you!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ghettoc401:
Thanks, I did try this one last time, but it didn't work :\ . I've already given up hope because I did some more reading and when the phone gets in this mode, it means the eMMC (or something like that) needs to be re-flashed and that's something they have to do at the factory.

Yea but I bought it the first day it came out, not sure they would take it back if I tried to return it. Also it's 100% my fault, so I would feel bad trying to return it. But thanks for the advice though.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragflan:
Hey Guys. I don't think the phone is bricked (I have access to Bootloader, CWM Recovery and Download Mode).

I was running Android Revolution HD ROM and out of the blue, the phone rebooted. But from this moment, it does not boot into Android. It just reboots, shows Google Logo, show the Nexus Boot Animation and then hangs for a second and reboots.

I figured it's a boot loop. So I wiped data/factory reset through CWM, wiped Dalvik Cache and flashed Revolution ROM again. Same result. I flashed Modaco iR5 and same result.

What do I do from here? Any help offered would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

RESOLVED! Thank you to afliopou, enumBoss and zyo (batch file to restore stock images - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1373995)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afilopou:
Maybe trying flash back to stock with fastboot following instructions here?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1373995

Edit: and as enumBoss correctly asked which version is?LTE or GSM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enumBoss:
Is this an LTE or GSM device?

If it's GSM, I recommend flashing a different ROM. Probably something more stable. And do the whole thing - not just the rom, but the boot.img, etc. You can find that here: http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragflan:
Hi. It's a GSM Version. I've tried flashing both Android Revolution HD and Modaco Ir5. Same Result. I can try VillainROM but I doubt that will help. (I'm doing that right now. I've just pushed VillainROM using this command: adb push VillainROM_whatever.zip to /data/media. Will try flashing that and report back).

I just tried restoring my nandroid backup and CWM restored the boot image, system and then it says 'Error While Restoring /data'.

Does that mean something is wrong with my internal storage?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afilopou:
Maybe something wrong with your backup.Try to flash stock rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragflan:
I'll do that now. Oddly adb doesn't find the device when it's in bootloader mode. It finds it fine when it's in recovery mode and I'll able to push and pull stuff.

I think I'm missing fastboot drivers or something. I'll try flashing stock stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragflan:
I'm unable to push another ROM so I have to flash stock images. the internal storage is in read-only mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afilopou:
This is normal.ADB not working when you are in fastboot.Did you try the thread i post you? When you are in fastboot you must first go through cmd in the folder that conatains fastboot.exe and then type in cmd "fastboot devices" .

eg cd C:/root (root is the folder that conatains fastboot)

then type "fastboot devices"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragflan:
Yeap. I read the thread you posted. Downloaded the zip file and extracted it. After which I rebooted into bootloader mode and ran the batch file from the extracted directory.

It flashed the stock images in bootloader mode and rebooted twice and I'm booted into Android now. Thank you very much, kind sir.

For my reference (and to learn), what could have gone wrong? The ROM was up and running fine and I titanium restored only user apps and didn't touch system apps at all. Everything was fine and a random reboot caused the phone not to boot into Android anymore. I've had 3 other Android devices before the Nexus (Galaxy S, SII and G1) and never had such an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afilopou:
Who knows? Only the android god :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragflan:
Haha amen to that. With Galaxy S and SII, I just used ODIN to flash a firmware. With Nexus, I just have to use that post. Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Did you flash a new kernel? If so, that could be (part of) the issue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragflan:
Nope. Well, it was part of the ROM (Modaco and Android Revolution HD). I didn't flash it separately.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mils69:
I've just experienced the exact same thing..

And the ONLY thing I've done today was install NFC Taginfo.

I noticed apps starting to crap out and figured I'd done something wrong and restarted.. got stuck in a boot loop..

went into CWM to restore an old back up and it failed with 'Error while restoring /data' (I'd gotten 'Error while backing up /data' when trying to back it up).

wiped everything (twice).. formatted everything (twice).. tried to restore and still no go.. interesting that it didn't seem to have any issue when formatting /data.

Am only running rooted stock (not even any MODs) so find this all rather peculiar.

Will try and push the stock ROM this evening when I get home. :confused:

EDIT: Used the method listed above to flash the original stock image which worked... although it did erase everything on my phone (kinda wish I'd known that before but what can you do). Would really like to know how I went from a seemingly normal phone to a not very useful paperweight!? Thankfully it's resolved.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Amartier:
So, I used to have the HTC Raider on Bell, and got the Telus Samsung Galaxy S II X mainly because the audio recording on the phone is poor. Before I bought the Raider, I was under the belief that the sound would be fixed if I turned off "Stereo Recording," which it did on my HTC Sensation. On the contrary, it made the sound quality worse. :( However, this method seems to work on the HTC Amaze 4G according to some threads, and I was thinking that the Raider I had may have just been a bad unit.

Can you guys please be so kind as to test some videos out with Stereo Recording off (Disable by going into the camcorder app, pressing the menu button, and unchecking the option)? I'm not liking the Samsung much (I hate TouchWiz, it's a buggy piece of ****), and would like to go back to the Raider IF the sound can be fixed.

Yes, I read the other post on the audio recording issue in this section, but no one mentioned anything about turning off stereo recording.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Spartoi:
I just tested that out and yeah, without Stereo Recording the audio sounded worst.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kiddchris:
I tried both ways, stereo on and off and not much difference

Seems to me it is more of an equalization thing with too much high freq

on other note, I had a galaxy s2x before too and like the raider better

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gameman733:
Just wanted to pass word along to the rest of the Devs that I came across a factory restore zip file that works off SD card.

Mount the Factory block device somewhere on the filesystem and there should be a factory.zip file. If you rename that file to acclaim_update.zip, it will actually wipe /system and do a factory reset. I would host the file somewhere, but I'm not sure if that would violate any copyrights, and would rather avoid that mess altogether since its on each tablet already.

Do we rename the file in place or copy to SD Card and rename there and then boot w/SD Card in?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gameman733:
Copy to sd card and rename. If you rename it in place, you WILL break your factory reset.

Also good knowledge to note, if you toast your recovery, this will not help you at all. Neither will the factory reset. Thanks to loglud for proving that. :)
