TMobile WiFi Firmware update= Lost Root

Posted in General section on this too. I called TMobile to state I wanted WiFi calling. They enabled from their servers, but since I was NOT running stock ROM to enable WiFi calling from menu settings means as they wanted me to do, they sent me an update location to grab latest Kies software, which included a detailed post on manually upgrading and havibg WiFi calling. Software installed on PC. Ran the file which recognizes phone with USB cable plugged in. States it has firmware upgrade to enable WiFi calling. Ran the upgrade and it stated Ver 11.12.16.02 was running and installing Firmware upgrade on device SGH-T989(my 10 digit telephone number in parentheses).

The good news is after phone reboots, the familiar skip or learn about TMobile WiFi calling was on my screen. The bad news is I definitely do NOT have root anymore. Settings in about phone also shows the regular update ran :

Android 2.3.6

BaseBand T989UVKL1

Kernel 2.6.35.11

Build number GINGERBREAD.UVKL1

Sounds like I have to go and re-Route my phone but I'm unclear what this will do regarding WiFi calling in general.

I'd stick with the telus rom, the difference between android 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 is almost non existent and this rom will give you no features you can use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
use odin to flash clock work mod recovery, then use clockwork mod recovery to flash this rooted stock rom, and enjoy.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdrift:
ok so after 3 days of trying, i keep getting stuck on a boot-loop I am asking for some help.

before I begin, I have successfully rooted and installed cm7 on 2 nooks that came factory 1.2,I have searched google and these forums but can't find anything with my specific needs.

I have followed the directions on this thread to a tee:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1054027

i am using a bootable cwm card (2GB) (cwm version 3.0.2.8)

after installing ManualNooter-4-5-18.zip then ManualNooter-4-6-16.zip I remove the sd card and reboot and I get a boot-loop with the "n color" screen animation. It has not booted successfully yet.

I have already used the 8 failed boots method to restore to factory and re-registered the nook.

Then I redid everything again and im back at the boot-loop.

any ideas:confused:
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miss_october:
i do not have an answer but this answers my question of whether I want to run manual nooter on my 1.3 or try cm7. the cm7 steps seems more intimidating
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdrift:
Well i tried several more times last night with no luck. Then i got brave and just wiped everything (data,system,cache,dalvick) then flashed cm7 and gapps straight from my cwm boot card. I somehow

Ended up with a fully functional nook. App market works. Rebooted several times to be sure. I even tried usb host with my homemade adapter. Mouse, keyboard, and sandisk cruzer all work splendidly thru a powered hub.

My only mistake was i cant find my backup of stock 1.3 rom. Is there one floating around?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
If I'm understanding correctly, you're trying to go from CM to 1.3, correct?

From what you've described, I suspect Clockworkmod 3.0.2.8 is your problem. If you look carefully as you format /data in preparation for reloading the BN 1.3 firmware, I think you'll see that the format is actually failing. That version of CWM doesn't handle the partitions correctly.

You want 3.2.0.1. See the edits at the top of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=987735

If you're already on CM7.1, you probably have the correct version of CWM installed. You can save yourself a step by formatting the /data and /system partitions using that, then continuing on with the rest of the procedure for restoring BN 1.3. I went through all this myself a few days ago while preparing to go to BN 1.4.1.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdrift:
I forgot to mention in my last post that i realized i was using the wrong cwm image and i burned another card with cwm 3.2.01.

I was still getting a boot-loop so i wiped everything and went straight to cm7.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdrift:
@bobstro

I didn't read your post correctly.

I had a stock nook that i want to install cm7 on. Not the other way around. I asked about a stock 1.3 file just in case i need to do a restore. The nook is done. Its running cm7 just fine and i have given it back to my friend.

I really need to get myself one :-(

I usually mess around with my sons but he's at his mothers for the weekend with it. After christmas im getting one. Dont know if it'll be a color or a nook tablet but im getting one for sure!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
If you intended to install CM7 from beginning, then why you wasted time messing around with ManualNooter?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdrift:
Im still rather new to working on nooks. I thought that it was required to use manual nooter first. Im still not sure.

Can someone clarify for mr. If i just bought a nook and i want cm7 on it, whats the best procedure?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billingdl:
The only boot loop issue I'm aware of is related to Adobe AIR and Flash. The fix is to uninstall them and then reinstall from Market.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
I hope you do use Windows at some points.

Let's put it this way.

You bought a PC with Windows XP pre-installed, get home, you don't want XP, so you install Windows 7 on the PC. You just whack the XP.

Same theory applied here, B&N shipped their NC out with the original stock ROM, which is Froyo-based OS. You want to install CM7, which is Gingerbread-OS ROM. You just whack the stock and install CM7.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdrift:
oh I get it know. so its pretty easy if you want to go straight to cm7 just wipe and flash.

After reading some posts from the nook tablet section, i guess i'm getting a nook color.

what a shame about the locked bootloader :-(

i didnt technically solve the boot loop issue, i just erased everything, but should I mark this as solved and if so how?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
The current Nook Color bootloader is not locked. The Nook Tablet's is. I wouldn't necessarily rule anything out, though. The bootloader on the Motorola Droid 2 is also locked, and there's quite an active Cyanogenmod community around it. The only problem is that we're stuck with whatever kernels B&N release, so ICS may be a long way off. I suspect the NC will remain the tuner's machine of choice, but the performance on the NT is very nice. If you can live with a rooted B&N ROM, it's a nice device for now.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicland:
No, it seems that some 1.3 based NC units will bootloop if 4.6.16 is used to root them. I'm not sure why. Even after repartitioning to original nook partition sizes, or using CWM 3.2.01 (which supports the new partitioning), it'll still bootloop if 4.6.16 is used. Might be because of the different kernal included, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know for sure. They root fine with 4.5.18. Haven't tried one with the new 1.4.1 compatible nooters.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajknoll23:
To the original poster;

I'm having the same problem here, installed 4.15 successfully, installed 4.16 and am getting stuck in boot loop at the rainbow nook color screen.

I'm not understanding the 8 boot fail procedure though. Is this when you let the boot loop run through 8 times or when you get to the point of when the boot loop starts, shut the NC off and power it back on?

Also, to install cm7, all you did was put it on your sd card, and installed it through cwm?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdrift:
The 8 boot method if i recall correctly is when you boot the nook and wait until the splash screen shows up immediately hold the power button and shut it down. Repeat 7 more times. If you did it correctly it should take over and do a restore on its own.

If you want to go straight to CM7 I dont think you need to go thru with this procedure because if you create a bootable cm7 card and insert it in your nook while its off then power up, it should boot you into cwm recovery. Once in the recovery you can flash cm7.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajknoll23:
Thank you good sir! I was stuck in boot loop forever and couldn't find a clean explanation of the 8 boot fail process. I always tried to turn it off when the rainbow nook color screen came up.

I got it reset, made a flashable CWM SD card with 3.2 and then flashed CM7 on there and it works great!!

That was very frustrating, thank you!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdrift:
Dont mention it, Glad to here I was able to help you out. I felt the same way when I was in that situation. Lots of googling to get a clearer idea on what that 8 boot method entailed. CM7 really makes it feel like a totally different device.

To all the devs that work on these projects, thank you :-)

Hello all :) In a couple of days, I'm gonna get my Galaxy S2. I never had a smartphone, but I know a lot of things about them (hardware stuff, like procesor versions, OS pros and cons, etc, etc). But the thing I don't know is software. Here are my couple questions:

What is ROM? How can I change it? Will chaning it slow my phone? Will I lose my warranty if I change ROM? Can I set it back to default? If I change my Launcher, will that automaticly be default, I mean when I turn on my phone, is the launcher gonna be shown or default (TouchWiz)?

I don't like S2's default TouchWiz theme, so I want to change it..

Thanks in advance...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Question = Q&A

ROM is the firmware apps modem and OS .

You change it by flashing a stock rom or a custom rom they are meant to speed up your phone .

Roms are in Development section .

No return to default you need to flash back the original rom .

You set what launcher you want as default .

Touchwizz THEME

Read Themes section .

If you dont like touchwiz just search on the android market for new launchers.

Launcher Pro/golauncher etc.

just try as many as you like until you find one your happy with. Once youve done more reading up about roms, rooting etc. THEN you can start thinking about that...

As it is though I doubt anyone would offer advice because unless you do some legwork and read up about rooting/flashing first then you could do serious damage to your device when you do actually attempt it..

Engadget has a Nexus review in which they line up the Nexus, Nitro and SkyRocket around the 3:50 mark.

After watching this I don't regret the SkyRocket at all. What I really wanted was a bigger screen, the resolution to me is nearly not even a factor. And I still believe the SR has more usable screen space. Disagree with me if you wish, these are just my opinions. :cool:

Hello,

I'm new here and i have a problem with my wifi.

I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.1 and i never had problems with original rom.

The problem is that it makes a connection and keeps it when idling, but then when

i need to use it the connection falls away and doesn't reconnect automatically.

When i go to the wifi settings it does automatically tries to reconnect.

I found a fix here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1177650

and i think that one should work. I tried to install the zip but it uses an older script version. I also tried to put the files on the cyanogenmod rom and flash it all again but i also get an error.

Is there any option to get it to the newer script version so I don't get errors anymore?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
I visited a local VZ shop to see if they had any cradle chargers, and I really had to wonder if they even cared to sell the Nexus.

No banners or ads of any kind, a single device was sitting in the LTE phone section. There were tons of RAZR/Bionic/rezound.

The part that made me really wonder is that, they had everything turned on - including that bacteria live wallpaper. It was about as smooth as sandpaper. I can totally see someone uninformed checking it out and running far away from it because it ran like sh!t, then coming to a board and saying how sh!tty ICS is and how unsmooth it was compared to iOS

OT: I don't know why but the razr is almost the same size as the nexus but it felt really big - and too thin in my hands.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
I would love to see it, but it may be very hard to port with it only being sold on shipped devices. Realize that what desktops run and what is sold on discs is either a 32 bit or 64 bit Intel x86/64 based version. What the Touchpad needs is the ARM version.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lewmur:
Why anyone would want a resource hog like Windows on a tablet of any kind is beyond me. But it isn't going to happen anyway. MS has made it quite clear that the ARM version of Win8 will be strictly limited to devices that are manufactured to run ONLY Win8. Any port to devices like the Touchpad would be illegal and wouldn't pass activation.

BTW, this has been dicussed and debunked time and time again. If you had done a simple search of "Windows 8", you would know this.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunjabusiness:
I can tell you I have been running Windows 8 both desktop and server versions since early closed beta and it is easily the leanest and most resource-efficient Windows yet. With only 1GB of RAM it flies and the server runs very well with 2GB.

Availability of ARM version will be strictly controlled though (as was already said) and activation will be pretty much unbreakable.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
I would gladly pay for a utility that will format my TouchPad and install Windows 8 on ARM. Even if that means losing ICS and webOS. I think Microsoft has an audience here of TP users that could be doing their RC testing for ARM. If they provided an easy legal way, even at a cost (provided it was for a real license, not a RC that expires), I think a lot of Tablet users would switch to W8. And the TP must be the biggest community of powerful enough hardware, with users willing to experiment on their device.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrPuddington:
It is an interesting idea. I think the TP is powerful enough, it is open, and it ticks the minimum requirements, although I am not sure whether it has the right CPU, graphics and hardware components. The display is a bit on the odd side (4:3 is rare, and 1024x768 especially so), and I would be surprised if Microsoft actually does anything like this.

But I would be happy to give it a try. On the desktop I can't find a reason to go with Windows 8, but on a mobile device it would look quite good.

They just would never do that. They only license it to actual manufacturers, the same idea went around with the WP7 for HD2 ports, but they'd never license it to individuals, we'll just have to port it.
