I'm currently compiling a completely untouched copy of ICS 4.0.3 which will be posted soon and then I'll work on modifying it
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] LancerEVA06:
"make otapackage" is the final syntax for making an update.zip (assuming you're building on Linux).

However, ROMs compiled directly from [Google's] source, should probably just be left to be fastbooted.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Mr. Clown:
I did some cleanup. Please stay on topic and discuss about the freakin rom!. Some people has reported it works..so I will leave this open.

Stay on topic and let these guys work on it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zebra2012:
Hello everyone,

I just bought a Galaxy SII skyrocket from ATT few days ago. I did root and it went fine.

today I figured I'll try to load on it android 4.0 ICS and followed the guide from here (can't post links...)

After I shut it down I tried rebooting it but nothing happens.

I'm getting only black screen. nothing is on the display, nothing vibrates when I press the power, no responds at all from the phone.

I tried resetting after taking out battery but still can't get anything from the device.

I've being searching all day to fix it and saw the home made jig guides but as I understand it will not work if I have totally black screen.

I've tried One Click unbrick but it wont recognize the phone.

I've tried with Samsung's Kies but it wont read the phone either.

I've tried Heimdall Frontend and it won't recognize the device.

when I plug the USB cord to my windows machine I see the hardware found as "QHSUSB_DLOAD" but that's as far as I get now.

is there any remedy for this?

If i return it to ATT will they know it was rooted after they fix it? I just had it few days and already messed it up.

anyone have any ideas I can try please?

thanks for any help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Well for one the android ics 4.0 leak is for the international gs2 so thats where you went wrong. The international sgs2 is different then the att ags2, and the skyrocket is completly different then tye sgs2. You CANNOT flash files from any other device on the skyrocket ( with the exception of the tmobile sgs2 ). . Take the battery out. Put it back in. Now while volume up volume down, and power plug in the usb cable to the phone and pc. See if it get into download mode. If not you bricked your new phone trying to flash software intended for a different device. Let this be a learning experience. Always read extensively, and never ever try to flash stuff you do not find here on xda in the skyrocket forum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LordGeek:
+1 silver03wrx

This is exactly what happened with my first Skyrocket .. however, I took the same release you found (the International leak for SGS2 ICS) and was in the mist of modifying it for the Skyrocket .. I had everything working (to my knowledge) .. but where I screwed up .. in my final zip (ready for flashing), I forgot one major component .. I left the original ICS boot.img in the zip !!! DUH !!!

So, I got the same result, bricked my phone totally .. no response at all, no screen, no vibration, no download .. nothing.

Now I was able to get another through AT&T's Warranty Repairs, so I am back up and running .. I have 14 days in which to return my bricked one (which I haven't yet) .. I ordered a USB JIG .. so I am waiting on that to arrive to see if the phone REALLY is BRICKED before shipping it to AT&T.

As you can see from my signature .. I have a I9020A Nexus S (AT&T) in which yesterday I installed ICS 4.0.3 successfully and everything is working great (with much modification and playing around) .. I have been playing with it all day .. and loving it. I WANT THIS ON MY SKYROCKET .. LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Thats awesome. I have not even playd with ics at all. But am looking forward to it on my skyrocket. Supposed to work better for multi core, and hardware acceleration
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LordGeek:
Can't wait either .. will be sweet.

The Nexus S (although a good phone) was a challenge to get working with ICS since the OTA 4.0.3 that came out was for the TMO version not AT&T .. so the little playing around with the way I put it on the phone actually worked .. LOL

* Fastboot CWM recovery.img to Nexus

* Flashed TMO signed original image (Gingerbread 2.3.6) with CWM

* Rebooted to full access (of course, no signal being TMO)

* Fastboot CWM recovery.img to Nexus

* Flashed TMO ICS 4.0.3 with CWM

* Fastboot AT&T radio.img (UCK**) before first boot into ICS

Reboot the Nexus S .. ICS came up, signal there, data there, about phone shows 4.0.3 installed with AT&T Baseband .. it was beautiful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zebra2012:
Thanks guys for the reply.

Sure was an expensive lesson.

I used to have iphones before so I expected the galaxy to be stupid proof like that other fisher price toy. i guess with greater power comes greater responsibility.

I ordered the USB jig hope this will let me get into download mode but the more I read about it the more I doubt it will work i my situation.

anyone think there is a chance or am i wasting my time waiting for it?

Is the Samsung Galaxy S 4G still worth buying today? Or should I settle on something much cheaper, like the mytouch by LG, and just wait until I feel comfortable spending more on a better phone.

What are you looking for in a phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Well I just went through a sensation and an amaze and my sgs4g has a better screen, better quadrant score, and faster download speeds on data. Better back speaker and the build quality on the sensation was garbage. Modded right the sgs4g is a damn fine phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Honestly, if you are looking for a moddifyable phone, this is probably one of the least diverse phones, and personally, I hate this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
Yeah I'd say its worth it.

Myself I've moved to a g2x as my everyday phone, but I still keep this one around. The g2x is quite a bit faster and smoother for about the same price. This phone has a brighter screen, longer battery life, and louder speaker.

And while I know alot of people complain there's not many roms and whatnot available for this phone, that's only because they haven't owned a g2x lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Farlander:
What is this consumer reports?

I got my phone for 120 + 80 a month for unlimited everything 4g through tmobile. I could have had the galaxy s2 for 220, but this was longer battery life, slightly smaller/lighter, and easier to root/customize
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
If they saw the HTC amaze rom selection they would love the sgs4g selection. They have like 1 dev about 3 rom copies and no way to fully unlock the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] camalus:
If you want to mod... the sgs4g is not what you want. Gave mine to my 9 year old... even she was bummed when she couldn't use CM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
No the sgs4g isn't the best for modding purposes, but it does offer a lot more options than some phones.

But come on, who really needs 50 roms!? As long as there's one I'm happy with (octane for sgs4g weapon for g2x) that's all you need. Not everyone likes cm, I don't (yes its available for my g2x and I've tried it).

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rberry88:
My phone was rooted w/ s-off, I had to take it to the Verizon store today for a warranty replacement so I unrooted and got it back to s-on before I went. They gave me a new phone and when I got home I noticed they had applied the OTA already before I left the store, must have been when they were activating the phone and new SIM.

So I have 2.11.605.9 and I try to run Revolutionary to get s-off and root and it stops saying it could not get root.

Am I stuck waiting for the Revolutionary tool to be updated or is there something else I can do?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
So when you say you can't get "root" do you mean it won't flash their custom bootloader?

Have you tried using the manual method?

Has anyone else tried this to confirm if the exploit has been patched?

Ok, took the plunge and tried the htcdev.com method but the Thunderbolt is not supported. It returns a "token" that is necessary to complete the unlock process that says "invalid token - device not supported". I guess I have to wait for the folks at Revolutionary to get root back.

You are correct. The problem I, and a few others, were having was we were unrooted and s-on.

Will a different modem make a difference?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
The OP was asking about wifi signal strength.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbadboy2007:
I believe they lowered the power consumption on the radios all the way around. But with wifi don't pay attention to signal bars cuz the devs or samsung change the bars between builds. Example you could have 100% signal but only show 1 or 2 bars depending on the decibal levels they have each bar set to. The only thing that is accurate is a wifi signal analyzer that shows you your signal in decibals.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
I think a few people noted that they don't have the same range they had on Froyo with their wifi, comparing the same distances from the router.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbadboy2007:
I would have to disagree I have analyzed my network in db's since eclair with this phone. I have identical db's in the exact same locations just less signal bars. Its all in peoples heads. So don't believe everything you read. I install wifi networks for a living and use this phone as a testing tool cuz its faster and easier than my laptop. Another thing some people don't understand is interference could be the issue of them not getting the same results. If you have 20 wifi signals broadcasting like in apartment it will degrade your signal terribily. I don't have any other wifi signals around me so my signal is constant no interference.

Hey you guys, im a junior in high school and I was wondering what advice I could receive from those of you who went or are currently attending college.

This is my educational background so far:

I've been in all gate or honors classes both freshman and sophmore year. I got almost straight a's freshman year in both semesters , I got a b in english second semester.

And sophmore year I got straight a's first semester, then second semester I got 3 a's and 3 b's, in english, and chemistry (both honors classes) , and pe (I have no idea y I got a b in pe)

Then this junior year, I have been really struggling. I'm one of three students in my entire class who have my schedule, which is all ap and honors classes, which are:

Ap literature

Ap statistics

Ap us history

Ap bilogy

Pre calculus(math analysis) honors

Spanish 3 honors

And currently I'm in finals week about to end my first semester.

I think I have all b's except an a in math analysis.

(Math is my best subject)

And I'm so stressed out and worried as I have so much hw every night and I can barely get b's when I should be getting a's.

I'm just wondering, since I'm going to Be practically getting straight b's this first semster, will it affect my chances of getting into a really good college such as usc, ucla, uc berkeley, or stanford? I heard junior year is the most important year, and that they don't just check for gpa, but for difficulty of your schedule.

Also, what other advice can you give me? How do u guys think I'm doing so far? What should I be doing to get Into college? What do colleges especially look for?

Some of the colleges I'm trying to get into are:

Usc, ucla, stanford,and uc berkeley

Also, I have done no community service. And the only sport I play is soccer (varsity).
