if you can access the recovery, do a data backup, reflash cm, and restore data backup. that way you wont lose any of your apps and settings.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] windman_sail:
Until recently I was able to output HDMI from my Infuse to my small HD TV. With the latest update to the ATT Live TV bloatware, the ATT Live TV application will not run once an external HDMI cable is attached. I'm greeted with the new message "This application does not support HDMI output. Please unplug the cable" Mobi (the developer) confirmed this is a new "feature"

Thank you ATT. Anyone have any ideas for a workaround? I tried uninstalling updates, but the app just updated itself.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
Disable automatic updates from the market page for the app, wipe all app data, disable cell data, turn off wifi, uninstall updates, then see if the app still works, then turn data back on. We really need someone to come up with a true mirroring kernel and still somehow support full hd from the video player. Like if we force 1080p res on,the whole ui and mirror that, let the screen,controller down,convert what it needs to. This no hdmi on,custom kernels stuff and apps having say over it's use is ridiculous. I wish there was an,easy way to fix it but the best devs haven't even gotten it working for gb. F-you Samsung!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] windman_sail:
Thanks, already tried that. When the Live TV bloatware app calls home to ATT, the program automatically updates to the latest version -- no joy. A low-res video out would be OK with me -- better than nothing.

Sucks - sell HD than cripple phone to kill it. This is only going to get worse since the T-Moble deal was killed -- more pressure on controlling limited bandwidth.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
i never used that app anyway. but alot of this stuff has to do with studios and licences, since it is classified as a mobile device there is a different licence for the videos and the studios want to prevent piracy so they put pressure on those that buy the license. it sux but samsung cant use hdmi on there own all share app. if they had the license for non mobile you could output to a tv but not on the phone. its all legal garbage and we let them get away with it. the lod days of plugging in your vcr and recording anything you want are over, what the studios dont realize is they only give people more incentive to pirate by making it harder to share it legitamately amoungst your own devices. it just becomes easier to obtain it from an illegitamate source for free!

if my isp wasnt so ****ty id have a media server transcoding from a tv tuner card and streaming over the internet so that i could access it from anything with an html5 browser (like a slingbox but better). the only reason i dont is cuz i dont have the upload bandwidth.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netban:
Hey everyone!

So I have done just about all I can with the SGSII and have decided it is time to do some upgrades, ie root and eventually a custom ROM. The reason behind this is to remove bloat and customize to exactly how I want :)

I have updated the firmware once via Kies to v2.3.5 and here is a screenshot of the infos.

I am also using a UK 3 (Three) branded handset with the 3 bootscreen and a few unsavory apps that was preinstalled that I would rather not have there ;)

I would like to use SpeedMod kernel which I believe is compatible with my phone and is available from here.

Now for the questions and I'm very sorry if you have heard all this before. It's just that this forum is HUGE and I have tried to gather the info required but I just need a steer in the right direction.

1) Do I flash the SpeedMod kernel via Odin in the same manner as described here in Chainfires thread under long instructions?

2) Is the linked page above for SpeedMod the correct version for my phone?

3) If so, great! If not, then what is the best method to flash and which is the correct kernel?

4) Also I'm under the impression that this is what will give me root, is that right?

5) This one is probably more down to personal opinion, but in your opinion, which is the best and most stable ROM with everything working? (If such a thing exists atm of course)

Many thanks for reading this post and once again I am sorry for the noob Q's, but I guess that is what defines me as a noob in this area ;)

I look forward to seeing your replies,

Rizur (◣_◢)

Thanks for your reply! I think those videos are a bit dated now and there is better techniques out now. I have definitely noted down Hyperdroid, I also recall it being quite popular too :)

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avolio:
Yes this the first Rule backup the EFS, you can use the HK-Tool its on the Market
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netban:
Thanks for your replies guys but am I correct on how I install the speedmod kernel to get root? Or should I go with the full chainfire method?

Yes I agree that when it comes to roms and personal opinions its more theme orientated but I was trying to get at people's faves. Take a good curry for example, they come in many flavours but my fave is a hot madras, and which may be too hot for some or maybe not as flavoursome as some would like, I believe the same for roms , crap analogy but I tried ;-)

Thanks everyone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You want to install speedmod so you follow the instructions in that post .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netban:
There is unfortunately (as far as I can see) no instructions for installation in that post :(

I think I may just go for CF, seems like the most popular.

Now to make some backups etc and read MOAR :D

Any more info that anyone can chip in is very appreciated.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netban:
With even more thanks to you jje, I have found this which was only a couple of links deep hehe

I have backed up my 300+ photos (the only personal stuff I'm really that bothered about because it contains pics of my son who is now 5 weeks old :) ) but all I can find to back up the EFS is for after root. I tried HC-KTool but that needs root access. Am I right in thinking that the first step is to root via the kernel and THEN make a backup?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Yes CWM and root .

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

Or if Speedmod kernel installs root just follow his instructions via ODIN .

Then backup EFS folder

Then In CWM app backup phone .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netban:
Thanks mate, I went ahead and flashed SpeedMod and I followed the guide to the letter and read up on so much, I'm now rooted :D

I have also made a backup of the EFS, here's the screenshot's 1 & 2 of backed up data and my kernel version. I used the KTool to do the backup.

Is there anything else I should consider before proceeding with flashing a ROM?

Many thanks, Rizur.

PS you da man JJEgan ;)

EDIT: Oh and I need to do a backup with CWM I believe.

EDIT 2: backup successful via CWM :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
You are pretty much set, pick a rom and flash away, copy the EFS backup to your computer as well to be safe.

When you flash a new rom you will need to wipe /data aka app data (not sd card eg pics etc) So you may want to backup any game saves etc with titanium backup.

You shouldnt backup/restore system apps with titanium as it may/will cause problems.

As far as choosing a rom, I find hyperdroid to be good, villanrom to be good as long as you dont "need" the newest base, but you can try a few and see what you like.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netban:
Thanks mate :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netban:
Having a big problem now :( I decided to go for CheckROM as my ROM of choice, I followed the instructions to wipe the device and to put the tar file on sdcard and flash via CWM. This went ok but the flashing took all of about a minute and half, prompted to reboot and now I'm stuck at the screen with the yellow triangle.

I had to pull the battery after about 45mins as this was the only way to turn the phone off. I did backup via CWM and I did backup the EFS with KTool but CWM is finding nothing to backup from :(

Please some kind soul, help me out with some advice :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N0stalgic:
Flash back stock firmware should do the trick.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i360*:
This happened with me once and I was a total noob back then. When you're stuck at that triangle, press the power button. If nothing happens, keep pressing it. Worked for me. Felt like such a prat waiting 30 mins for it to boot :o

The yellow triangle turns up when you root the phone and it wont effect your phone at all, will work just the same.

Hope I helped
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netban:
I have now downloaded stock firmware from here, do I put that folder on sdcard or remove the .mdf file onto sdcard?

EDIT now I realise i need to perhaps install via Odin, in which field does this md5 go in?

Yeap you'll have to do it via Odin. Goes under PDA.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dusanzk:
Hi,

I remember seeing an app a couple of months ago that, when set, would let you filter incoming calls while your phone is on silent, the problem is that i have no idea what the app is called and have tried searching with no luck.

Now what i mean is this:

If i put my friends number in the settings of the app and he calls me while my phone is on silent he will recieve an automated SMS from my phone saying that my phone is on silent but if it's an emergency that he should call me again and if they do call me again within a certain period of time the app makes the phone ring normally instead of silencing the call.

Anyway, i have no idea what it's called and would really appreciate any help in finding it

EDIT: Never mind, found it, it's called Dindy
[General Questions and Answers] WHITE*RABBIT:
Hello all, yesterday my phone automatically updated Google voice app, and now my calls (all) are going directly to voicemail.. I've disabled the (do not disturb options), (enabled them) jus to see if that would help, and nothing.. I've wiped the data and even uninstalled the app through titanium backup, and nothing again! Still going to voicemail.. any ideas, or anybody came across this problem? Please help... I'd like some ideas before I use the master reset.. I dont even think that would work, considering "uninstalling didn't help... thank-you in advance :)
[General Questions and Answers] sankcool:
You could definitely try contacting Google at the forums. Have you tried using your computer to edit settings? Or just on your phone? You should also check whether your phone is disabled in Google Voice on the computer. Once when I updated, it disabled my iPhone 3GS, and I had to re-enable it. Go to Settings in GV on the computer, and check the list of phones. There are check boxes to enable phones. Hope this helped!
[General Questions and Answers] chrischoi:
Why not delete everything related, download from Market and start from scratch. Go over your comp settings.
[General Questions and Answers] sankcool:
Another tip :)

Hey, just forgot to say: try adding an extra phone, or deleting your current phone and then re-enabling. Also, are you in the US? Because GV was malfunctioning in India, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong for me. Mostly India, because that's where I visit more. If you aren't in the US, you should check your calling balance, too. If it runs out, it sometimes just fwds to vm. Hope this (also) helped!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] geekilized:
What do you mean by remount system as R/W? Do you mean in CWM? I also don't have mms app.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
He means remount the /system partition as read/write. I believe you can do that from within Root Explorer but I've never used it. You can do it via the Android Debug Bridge with:

adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
You can leave out the physical partition location out of the command so you can do:

mount -o rw,remount /system

I like saving keystrokes :D

EDIT

You'd need to prepend adb shell if you're doing it from your PC. I'd install Terminal Emulator from the market or use script manager and create a script for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
You can within root explorer or file expert
