[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
If you put your phone into USB connection mode and connect to computer does the computer recognise the phone as a drive and let you view the files etc?

If so I think Odin will work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anz2k8:
Thanks alot ill try that :)

btw once ive done the cf-root is there a certain custom ROM you would recommend, you see for some reason i am having alot of game issues such as the characters and buildings being pure white and many games that are meant to be compatible for my phone send me back to my app list after the title screen plus they are meant to help with battery life etc.

Whats up? May not be an issue, but does pic quality seem bad? Im running eclipse 2.0.2 and i dunno, just doesnt seem like 8mp pictures....lol i could be wrong though...
[Motorola Droid X2] pacman377:
Im pleased with mine. Especially for it being a phone not a camera. Its a much better camera than the stock cam imbo

[Motorola Photon 4G] majorhunadadun:
Good evening all! Sorry if this has been covered... I have an already rooted locked Photon. What's the best method for taking it all the way to the unlocked zone? Thx in advance!
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
Follow the steps in THIS link, if thats a bit confusing you can use THIS youtube video by QBKing77, who is absolutely amazing with his videos and gives you a complete walkthrough. Good luck with unlocking! Seems a bit difficult if your new to the game, but with QBKing77's videos its really simple.

EDIT: Don't forget that you WILL lose 4g by unlocking bootloader
[Motorola Photon 4G] tornacl:
+ 1

I used the QBKing videos to do my unlock and re-root and it was extraordinarily easy.

The main thing is the loss of 4G - we don't have it locally so I wasn't all hat bothered.

There is a thread or 2 out there on how to restore 4G after the unlock as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] littlenerrie:
I'm trying to add a custom boot animation with sound, but I can't figure out if this is possible with the galaxy nexus.

I followed this tutorial:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1096068

I can get the boot animation to load, however, when I try to run the script for adding the sound (sh bootsnd.sh) I get this:

bootsnd.sh[14]: grep: not found

No such user 'root:shell

So yea, I'm not even sure that it's possible. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan.johnson:
Had same issue. I closed out the terminal emulator window. Reopened typed in "su root" then closed out of that terminal emulator window. Reopened and ran all the other commands from the tutorial you followed. All the files were created specified in the bootsnd.sh and update to build.prop was successful too. I even have the android_audio.mp3 in the right spot...still no sound. I might try deleting the created files and editing build.prop back. I wonder if it will work if I change the .mp3 to .ogg on the file and in the reference to the file? Everything else seems to be in .ogg .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan.johnson:
Ran bootsnd.sh with no errors.

I was able to fix the grep error by installing busybox. To fix the root:shell error I modified the the script to run root.shell instead. Of course I manually undid the script creations and edits before I ran bootsnd.sh a second time. Even though I ran with no errors I still can not get sound at boot up. I have put the android_audio.mp3 file in system/media. I even edited the script and converted the audio file to reflect .ogg. Still no luck. I believe one cause is that there is no stagefright command file on the phone. ( the bootsnd.sh script calls this function) Obviously bootsnd.sh wasn't written for ICS. I wonder if HoneyComb had this same issue? Searching for a fix to Honeycomb boot sound now to see if it might work for ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex1123:
has anyone else noticed that the sound being output thru the audio jack on cm7 and miui is not as loud or clear as when using a touchwiz Rom? I have and I'm wondering if there is anyway of fixing or improving audio output. I don't want to carry around a ipod anymore lol any and all help appreciated
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nvrblnk:
I think the volume increments are pretty broken. I've been using CM7 and I use my phone in the gym. It's been pretty irritating

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msr4:
My HTC EVO 4G can only boot when it's plugged into a power source like the USB cable or AC. If it's not plugged in, the phone bootloops on the "htc EVO 4G" screen.

Can anyone help me out here? Don't know what to do. I reboot my phone multiple times in a day, and I can't carry a charger with me.

If it helps, I'm running gingerbread-evo-deck-1.3.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {ParanoiA}:
I would try a different battery first to eliminate that as the issue. Sounds like a bad battery.

Support TrevE !!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msr4:

I suspect its something software related. Today, I used a gingerbread RUU to get back into stock, and I flashed this ROM in ClockworkMod. I dont know. I just need this solved.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] johnhuh:
I am currently running Calk's rom 2.5 that was "based off EL13 build." My kernel version in about phone says: "2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EL13-CL806482. and build is "Calkulin's E4GT Rom v2.5."

But my Baseband version says S:d710.10 S.EG30. Am I able to upgrade my baseband version to EL13 or does Calk's rom already do that for me?

Thanks in advance for any help :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
You can flash the EL13 modem in CWM using the appropriate CWM MDM link in my signature.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sTr3utr:
I am in a similar situation. I currently have:

Android 2.3.4

Baseband: S:D710.10 S.EG30

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EG30-CL435734

ROM: midNIGHT ROM v2.2 NOCIQ ET4G

I want to install this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1332837

How would I go about doing this? I know how to use ODIN to flash stuff, also know how to use Clockwork to flash from phone, but I'm a newbie in this area and I don't want to brick my phone.

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Just use CWM and flash the ROM. It'll install the ROM and the kernel. You can flash your radio at a later point from CWM also.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sTr3utr:
On the thread of the ROM I want, it says:

"Important Notes - Due to how this ROM is setup, a wipe is recommended BEFORE flashing if coming from another ROM(use FORMAT ALL attached)"

Does this mean that before installing the ROM I need to format the whole phone (minus the SD card)?

Thank you for your help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
The Modem, Kernel, and ROM are separate entities. This thread started off talking about modems, but now you are switching to talking about a ROM. Just wanted to clarify that in case things are getting mixed up.

If the ROM says you need to FORMAT all, that usually means if you are coming from a different ROM, you should do that. If you are upgrading from one version of that ROM to another, usually you won't need to format all, but sometimes you might. Ask your question on the ROM-specific discussion thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sTr3utr:
Thank you for your help. I tried to post on the ROM post but I couldn't due to being a passive user and the Development forums requiring a certain number of posts.

I backed up EVERYTHING with MyBackup Pro just now and I will format ALL, format cache, dalvik-cache, anything that says "erase" on CWM I will do :) ... and I'll report back with how it all went.

Thank you again for your helpful post.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thecableguy9768:
Hey guys. New guy here to rooting. Thanks to sfhub my first attempt was a success.

This is my current set up.

android 2.3.6

baseband s:d710s.ek02

kernel 2.6.35.7-sph-d710.ek02-cl704398

Rom New Senzation v1.7.

I also want to run Caulks' rom but I am not sure if I can on the ek02 modem. Would I have to flash to el13 to be able to use this rom?

Sorry if the terminologies are wrong still trying to get used to and understand all of this.:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Even though theoretically it is best to keep the Modem, Kernel, and ROM matched since they were tested together, in practice folks haven't had issues with mix and matching. Now with CWM flashable FULL modems for EG30/EG31/EK02/EL13, it is very easy to switch after the ROM flash. Just make sure your kernel is based off the newer EK02/EL13 to flash the FULL modems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thecableguy9768:
Thanks for the help. Got it all installed and working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dwayneiztheshyt:
Hey i would like to revert back to eg20 from el13.. Do i have to ogin back to eg30 or is there another method
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
What do you want to revert? Modem, Kernel, ROM, or all three?

If all three, the easiest is to use the EG30 ODIN tar in my signature then apply the EK02 update immediately afterwards.
[General Questions and Answers] ProExCurator:
I tried to record a video of the Galaxy Note using MHL cable + of course HDMI cable and PCI-E Card Blackmagic Intensity Pro. But then it turned out that the program can't display the image from the phone because the resolution of the Galaxy Note is not standard (1280x800). Standard is e.g 720p (1280x720)

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated....

BTW...I am running a Win 7 64 bit OS if that helps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InverseSandwich:
I think what you mean is that you want to use Ubuntu to compile a ROM.

[*] Download VirtualBox from the Oracle website

[*]	Download a Ubuntu ISO

[*]	Create a new virtual machine with a 50gb virtual hard drive

[*]	Mount the ISO

[*]	Install Ubuntu in VirtualBox

[*]	Put all of the ROM kitchen files in the virtual machine

[*] Et Voila!

Of course, it's easier to get a PC and install Ubuntu as a proper OS, but if you don't want to format your hard drive, it's the next best thing.

Remember to press the thanks button!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ebaum1:
OK i stand corrected, i wish to compile a ROM using ubuntu....my bad. But the fact is that I cannot get past installing the Ubuntu in the virtual box...I have that part completed and it runs fine..but the next step is what is getting me one of the links are bad and the other, well the other leads to a room full of mirrors and maybe I just cant get the proper file downloaded, but it keeps giving me errors when i try to install.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] GalaxySkyrocket500:
I have had the SR for about 7 weeks now....Do not have any issues you are writing about.. There is nothing wrong with this screen.. people have too much time on their hands to be complaining about a " screen issue" that only exists in the owners' mind.

Get the phone, enjoy the phone.. live life and have fun..:D

I mean if its posted on the net, it must be true right?:rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] AWiseMonkey:
So your just going to be an a-hole and post nothing constructive? No one gives a crap about your little pearls of wisdom, grow up. If you are not having issues with your phone or dont have the ability to properly examine and interpret the correct color temperature of a display then move on. :mad:

Now back to the OP, I also see the color imbalance in the displays, unfortunately this has been an issue since the original Galaxy S phones. The AMOLED displays seem to be particularly difficult to adjust for all scenarios so they end up with a much cooler (bluish) temperature by default. I am certainly no expert, but Supercurio did some amazing things with the original Galaxy S phones with the VooDoo app that was able to properly adjust and tweak the screen to your particular taste. I am sure it wont be long before the dev community is rolling with new ROMs and tweaks that will resolve the issue on this version as well, just hang tight.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Curly21029:
These are issues that I've seen first-hand and a simple A-B comparison is all that's needed to ensure that it's not "in (my) mind." And you're right, there may be nothing "wrong" with the screen to you. Heck, the vast majority purchases a TV, takes it home, never touches the settings, and blissfully watches an absolute crap picture. I'm sure that these people would agree with your sentiments. By all means, don't let my perspective in any way hamper your enjoyment of this phone. For a videophile (and audiophile...) like me, however, the display on the Skyrocket and Galaxy S2 is poorer than average at default (taking into account phones, televisions, monitors, laptops, etc.) and getting the white point closer to 6500K would go a long way in remedying that.

Thank you very much for your input! Glanced at your link and it seems to be a direct reference to my inquiry! Will definitely read! :)

[Motorola Photon 4G] djallen1:
I'm in Dallas, TX. After some experimentation, I have my 4G data speeds up to 8-11 Mbps down and 1 - 1.5 up. Here is what I have done:

Added a good old Linux sysctl.conf file to system/etc containing:

net.core.rmem_default = 524288

net.core.rmem_max = 524288

net.core.wmem_default = 524288

net.core.wmem_max = 524288

net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 87380 524288

net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 87380 524288

net.ipv4.tcp_mem = 524288 524288 524288

net.ipv4.tcp_rfc1337 = 1

net.ipv4.ip_no_pmtu_disc = 0

net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 1

net.ipv4.tcp_fack = 1

net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 1

net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 1

net.ipv4.tcp_ecn = 0

net.ipv4.route.flush = 1

Obtained my MSL from Sprint and edited the ##3282# menu as follows:

Data Profile menu: deactivated Reverse Tunneling, pinged all the Home Agent IP's I could get my hands on and settled on 68.28.81.77 as primary and 68.28.89.77 as secondary.

Multimedia menu: Changed RTSP proxy address to 0.0.0.0 and port to 0, did the same with HTTP-PD address and port. Changed Buffer length to 20.

EVDO: Make sure DDTM is set to Off.

Went from struggling to hit 4 Mbps to constant 8 - 11Mbps. I hope this works for the other Photon users here, let me know how it goes!
[Motorola Photon 4G] kusanagi-sama:
All I did was remove the proxy. Regardless, I still get up to 9-10Mbps on 4G in Wichita Falls, TX. Oh, and my phone is stock, but rooted.

15 in ft worth but not constant usually tops at 9
[Motorola Photon 4G] djallen1:
I don't know why mine were so slow here in Richardson, you gents are both getting amazing speeds. I pared down the Sprint fluff as much as I could but still couldn't break 5 until performing the tweaks. I wonder if that sysctl.conf file would give you guys any increase?
[Motorola Photon 4G] djallen1:
Mine is stock and rooted too. I was thinking about unlocking the bootloader to see of I could get 3G to an acceptable level after the tweaks....
[Motorola Photon 4G] kusanagi-sama:
3G is a lost cause until Sprint finishes upgrading the backhaul network and adding more channels to the towers. I rarely get over 1Mbps on 3G, usually under 256Kbps.
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
Ive been getting 1 - 1.6 at night and 400 - 900 during day....but yeah till the upgrades done its gonna stay sucking.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kusanagi-sama:
I can get 1-1.3Mbps outside, but in my house, its a range of around 20-128Kbps (I have metal siding on the house, and the house was built in 1940)

Its ok not great but yeah that metal is probably your speed killer

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] erad1:
I have to admit it just amazes me how some people complain about the build quality after they purchase this phone. I personally (sure, it's ownership biased) think this GSII is awesome and well built. The material used is basically the same but Samsung obviously built the phone to be lighter intentionally (no metal back, which had me spoiled also as I do like that on my Cappy) and more streamlined (back half of the phone is a lighter guage plastic and no longer a gun-metal grey color/finish, but the front/screen half appears to be the same as the Captivate)...it wouldn't be a GSII if they built it just like the first model now would it? And as for removing the cover, it is what it is...it's just simple not crappy, and a different style (just need to have one good fingernail). The phone is still a nice blend of power and finesse I have come to expect from the Samsung Galaxy line. I have enjoyed owning this phone albeit briefly, just as much as I have enjoyed owning my Captivate and have the oppurtunity to continue to use them both. All this being said I too am looking forward to the release of SGSIII and would hope to see a only a subtly different build style. Like the commercial says..."it doesn't feel like an upgrade if my phone looks the same!"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Thegodfather156:
Ours is 95% identical to the og gs2.

Its superior in every way to the captivate imo, and doesn't look much like the cappy at all

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
People always just say plastic = cheap, without understanding that properly chosen plastics can be vastly superior to metal. (See Delrin as an example. Also see the Boeing 787 Dreamliner)

I think the build quality of the I777 is excellent - the only problem people have build-quality-wise with the I9100 is the mechanical home button, which our device fixes - probably the only aspect of "AT&T Mangling" that I'm actually glad they did. The touchkeys are a much better solution.
