[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] trae4nato:
This is very simple and works like a charm. I will show you two things.

How to put your phone in recovery mode and how to put your phone into download mode. This is for the i727 Skyrocket from AT&T, probably works with a lot of other phones as well. Follow my instructions exactly.

To put your i727 Skyrocket phone in recovery mode.

1 ) Turn your phone off. Power it off.

2 ) At the same time, press and hold volume up and down and power at the same time. Your phone will come on.

3 ) Keep holding even after the vibration.

4 ) When you see the first SAMSUNG white text, let go of the buttons.

BUT WHAT IF I’M/YOU’RE TRYING TO GET TO CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY?

1 ) Before the above you should have downloaded ROM Manager from the Android Market and Flashed ClcockworkMod REcovery. When it ask you what version you should select “Samsung T-Mobile GalaxyS2.” I know it says T-Mobile but select it anyways.

2 ) From Rom Manager you can select Reboot into Recovery OR you can turn your phone off and follow my previous top instructions.

———————

To put your i727 Skyrocket phone in download mode. (This is typically done to flash back to stock if you bricked your phone or are getting excessive errors)

1 ) Turn your phone off. Power it off. Set your phone down.

2 ) Take your USB cable and plug it into the computer/laptop ONLY.

3 ) This requires both hands. Pick up your phone and hold down the volume up and down at the same time then plug in the USB to your phone with the other hand.

4 ) Keep holding the volume up and down buttons. The phone will vibrate, still hand and when you see Download mode. Let go.

CONGRATS.

BUT WHAT IF I/YOU WANTS TO FLASH THE STOCK AT&T ROM BECAUSE OUR PHONE IS MESSED UP.

5 ) Download the stock from HERE

AT&T user select the Download Stock TAR for SGH-I727

Rogers user select the Download Stock TAR for SGH-I727R.

6 ) Extracted the above TAR file.

7 ) Open Odin 1.85, run Odin3+v1.85.exe or Odin.

8 ) Odin will recognize your phone if there’s a yellow box.

9 ) In Odin select PDA and find the TAR file you downloaded.

10 ) Make sure Re-Partition is UNCHECKED. It should be by default.

11 ) Click Start

12 ) CONGRATS your phone will be back to stock like you bought it from the store.

Hi,

Mine is not working. I updated to touch CMW and no power combo. I never had this issue with Captivate.

Any idea aside from install other CMW?

Is your phone a Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE Skyrocket SGH-I727 ??

No. You are in the incorrect forum. If you use anything from here is will not work and anything you flash may brick your phone. You need to find the proper info for your phone, which is not here. Try google or the search feature.

You lose cwm. The backups will still be there. But you'll need to put cwm back on to use them.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Phizban:
I thought that was the case if you had the backups on an SD card, does reflashing to stock not erase the internal ones?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwsmith:
My captivate won't update over the network from AT&T even on stock everything. It gets to 99% and hangs.

I decided to try and put another ROM on it, but no matter what I try it hangs on the boot animation and will never enter recovery or download mode without a jig. Needless to say, I have to a full reset every time.

Does anyone know what may be the issue with the phone?
[Kindle Fire General] taylorgrandorf:
I have some guests visiting from the UK who purchased 5 Kindle Fire devices from Bestbuy here. After copying movies and music to all of them, I sideloaded Go Launcher EX to 3 of the fully updated machines. The First one went back today after getting stuck on the boot up splash screen. After installing the .apk, 2 Kindles froze on the windows where you select the default launcher, and then rebooted never to reboot again. I used the same .apk on all three, yet have only 1 that is running it just fine. Bestbuy said the one I returned had a Firmware problem, and I now have another. I couldn't see the first device in adb, and the same is now true of the other. Not sure if GoLauncher is the problem, since it's working on one of them, or if the firmware really is an issue.
[Kindle Fire General] greenskeeper805:
I have had no problems with Go Launcher Ex. Installed different betas no prob.
[Kindle Fire General] taylorgrandorf:
Like I said, It worls fine on pne od th, just not the others. Same .apk file.
[Kindle Fire General] iclickjohn:
ADW running no problem. Would they be happy enough with that?
[Kindle Fire General] taylorgrandorf:
Probably. I just want to find out how an apk on an unrooted Kindle can mess with bootup stuff.
[Kindle Fire General] movieaddict:
its not the go launcher! i have that running on mine actually i have 3 launchers running on mine, i like variety

They are rooted right? and have google framework installed??
[Kindle Fire General] Icetech3:
Go launcher on mine also... no issues....
[Kindle Fire General] taylorgrandorf:
None are rooted, they are all entirely stock. Downloaded an apk from the internet, copied it over to three devices. Of the 3, 2 will no longer boot up. They froze immediatly after the install. It's either the apk or a huge firmware issue.
[Kindle Fire General] greenskeeper805:
Try downloading from the go website itself. I wouldn't trust an .apk. from an unknown source.
[Kindle Fire General] JasonDC:
Root Kindle Fire 6.2.1 Firmware from Command Line. This solution worked for me!

I have the Kindle Fire with the 6.2.1 Firmware

I side-loaded Go Launcher on an un-rooted Kindle Fire.

The Kindle jammed when trying to load the launcher.

So to fix I needed to root my Kindle with out a UI. Command Line only :-/

You will need a Windows machine. I like to use linux, but the utilities to do this only run on windows.

Download the Java Development Kit and install http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Download the Android SDK and install http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Run the SDK Manager.exe and make sure you install the 'extras' package. (It has the google drivers)

Update your Kindle Drivers http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/12/13/how-to-install-kindle-fire-adb-usb-driver/

Get the Kindle Fire Utility http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399889

(Thank you thank you thank you for writing this util, saved my butt!)

If all is working, you will be able to root your Kindle from the command line!

Thus it unlocks the jammed app! Back in business baby!

Hope this helps!
[Kindle Fire General] Sidewinder7:
Unrooted I downloaded and installed Go Launcher from Getjar, had no problems. Have since rooted, installed the market and google services and blocked the device from changing wallpaper. Go Launcher still running with no problems.
[Kindle Fire General] taylorgrandorf:
Thanks for the replies, but doesn't rooting void warranty? (I'm not against rooting, my MoPho and Archos 101 are rooted). Besides that, Amazon has told me that International service is free, so they would just need to send them to Amazon USA to have them fixed if more issues arise. For the 2 bricked devices, Bestbuy replaced them.
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
Is there anyone on the forum lucky enough to have the sensation xl and xe?

I tried out the xl in the store today, listened to some music using my beats headphones and I couldn't help but realise that there beats audio is simply better then ours.

I remember reading something about the beats on xe being just software where as the xl has some new hardware which helps its media

Anyone else have the phone to compare & share their results??

Hey I'm running ARHD 4.1.9....and I wanna overclock my phone to 1.7ghz...is it safe to overclock to that without it doing more harm than good....I would think it is because seeing our Chipset is supposed to be 1.5ghz default....overclocking my phone by 200mhz won't hurt...so back to my question...if I do the OC will it be ok

I've been overclocking since faux123 came out with his 1.7 kernel and I don't get no random reboots or anything. Some people do, but it depends on your phone and how far it can be pushed! Just give it a try!
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

In my experience,not all phones are created equal.

You may be one of the lucky ones who can run his phone at 1.7 GHZ,but if it doesn't work,you will soon know about it.

Bear in mind it won't constantly run at that speed.

OK well I did try the overclock and my phone ran smoother than ever while handling several tasks...1.7ghz it is!!! Thx guys

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tzatlacael:
My situation is this,

have a fully working HD2.

Except that it's USB port is damaged, and when it's plugged in USB it won't work.

So I've been limited to run Android to thru SD only.

and that's not all, with the USB port damaged it also means not able to charge the battery, so I bought a direct battery charger and 2 extra batteries.

Thus, every time I need to change the battery I must restart the phone, which means having to boot Windows Mobile, then Android from SD....

But I really want to turn on my phone and go straight to Android, as on NAND. And I know I know there's this Android-run-at-startup-app that I've already tried.

I've reviewed several tutorials to achieve Android NAND, and I was just wondering, could it be done in similar steps using the SDcard as a tool to flash certain files?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kylew1212:
Yes.

Format your SD card

Look in my guide post 3 (in my signature)

download the clk v 1.5 extract the leoimg.nbh file to the root of the SD card

Press volume down + end key

Install the file.

Pull out battery

Put rom on SD card

Boot into recovery

And flash your rom
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kylew1212:
Doing those steps you never have to hook up USB to your phone
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tzatlacael:
Ohhhh shiii- for real!? I really had very little hope on this, O.o woow I'm about to try that!...

Thanks for the reply!

Edit: okay,, I just took a look at the instructions, and apparently I'm still unable to achieve Android on NAND....

I don't have HSPL, and this leaves me unable to even start because that process requires the phone to communicate thru USB....:/

I set VM heap on my GSI900T on 32m by mistake and now it is constantly rebooting

but cannot boot up so i can change it back. tryed to boot in safe mode - nothins. still cannot boot up. Is there any way to change the settings without loosing any data on the phone. The phone book is not backed up. Please help. I have no phone now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhiru1602:
Go to Recovery Mode.

Connect the phone to the system.

Type "adb pull /system/build.prop C:/"

Go to drive C: root and you will find the build.prop. Edit it as required.

Then Type "adb push C:/build.prop /system/build.prop"

Other method is to make a Flashable ZIP file with your proper build.prop, Mount your SDCard in Recovery and flash it.

can u please explain it to me again.

I'm in recovery now. How do i connect to the comp ?

I suppose you are having ADB installed. You need to type it in the Command Prompt if you are on windows or the Terminal if you are on Linux.

I've been browing the forums for some helpfull stuff and I found this little mod that allows you to turn Media Scanning on Boot on or off. The original topic by aditya_t90 can be found here

Requirements:

- USB Debugging: ON

- Root Access

Enter one of the following commands in terminal emulator, adb shell or in a script file

To enable media scanning on boot:

su
pm enable com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver

To disable media scanning on boot:

su
pm disable com.android.providers.media/com.android.providers.media.MediaScannerReceiver

brood, I need your help... again!

You know... I got this music-gallery /emmc bug (cannot find music, pictures with music apps/gallery apps)

I made a long research, found out that the media scanner doesn't scan on boot. maybe the reason for this bug...

if I try to scan manually, the media scanner just scan the internal sd card.

maybe there is some build.prop tweak that disables the media scanner on emmc.

any suggestions?

A shell file is attached if you want to be lazy. Rename it to mediascanner.sh (or just mediascanner) then push it to /system/bin/ and chmod 655 it. When you want to run it, do: su > mediascanner onboot|offboot (choose one). Ex: # mediascanner offboot

[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
So, i have been quietly been looking over the forums and have noticed that alot of users have "accidentally" deleted/disabled/removed their stock LG Launcher (com.lge.launcher2). This causes you to swipe UP to unlock your screen and be presented with a blank black screen.

While everyone is freaking out/pulling out their hair/swapping phones with their local dealer, i have come up with a way to get back to a launcher and go from there. I am not saying this is a fix for the stock launcher, i am merely showing a way to get back to a launcher PERIOD, the rest is up to someone more qualified than I.

This is assuming you have Rooted your phone (which got you into this mess in the first place)

1. If needed (as in, you can't get emails etc) then Hard Reset (battery pull, hold power and volume down, push power button twice)

2. when it reboots, go through the wizard and setup your email.

3. Using a computer, take the .APK i have posted here (ADW launcher) and email to yourself as an attachment. your phone will sound off when that email arrives.

4. Swipe down, open the email and install the attachment.

5. Reboot and Welcome back to the launcher!!

This worked for me when my ADW Launcher was wiped by a backup (my own fault, i will admit) and i just reinstalled GO Launcher from the market after that.
[LG Nitro HD] aimhelix:
I ran into this little problem the first time I rooted my phone. I debloated it and then thought of running a factory reset - the problem was I froze the stock LG Home launcher so I had no UI.

I was able to fix it by texting myself a www.google.com URL. I read the text through notifications, clicked the linked and it opened the browser. From the browser I entered the Market's URL and I navigated to NoBloat's page. I went to install it and there it gave me the option to open the app from which I was able to to unfreeze LG Home and then restart my phone :)
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
Well there ya go, another way to get around this problem!!

Thanks aimhelix for your alternate workaround! Let's keep this up, i am sure these aren't the only ways to fix this problem!
[LG Nitro HD] detroitredwings:
hard reset

aimhelix, a bit unrelated question... was reading your other post about debloating and you've mentioned doing a hard reset.

So, here it goes:

Is going to Settings -> Privacy -> Factory data reset and resetting data does the same thing as

- Turn off phone, wait a few seconds.

- Press HOME + VOL DN + POWER until you see a warning for Hard Reset

- Press Power 2x to confirm?

Thanks in advance.
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
It's hard to do that when you don't have a launcher...and by the way, you don't need press HOME button or pull the battery out, VOLUP + POWER is enough
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
I just threw the battery pull in for the noobs that didn't know when the phone was actually off! lol!! :D
