[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Galaxee:
I finally got around to it, and this time Mobile Odin worked. I upgraded to Entropy"s 1221 DD.

I don't think I did anything different than before, but I suppose it's possible. I was flashing from a different installed kernel, so maybe that was the difference. I'll probably move on up to the 0102 DD in a day or two. I'm really eager to see a viable ICS kernel/ROM, but this is good for now. I'm switching kernels with no major problems yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] imreolajos:
Hi all!

I bought my GS2 about 3 weeks ago, it had 2.3.4 on it. I didn't root it, I didn't hack anything on it since then.

Two nights ago I installed the official 2.3.6 update from AT&T/Samsung. I was absolutely delighted by how easy and effortless the update was: it downloaded the 20 MB update package over WiFi, it automatically rebooted my phone, it applied the update, automatically rebooted it again, and voila, in about 4-5 minutes I had a new kernel version, a new Android version, and a new baseband version installed and ready to be used on my phone.

Note that I didn't have to root my phone for this and it also preserved all my apps and settings.

So, I have a likely naive question: why don't kernel and OS mods use the same procedure to install themselves? There's obviously a way to update the kernel easily, because it just happened to me 2 nights ago. Same for the OS update. So, why not just "hijack" AT&T's official update procedure for making kernel and OS mod installs as user-friendly as possible? If there are specific technical reasons preventing us from doing so, please, do explain them to me - I am a software engineer, I will understand, although I am an Android n00b.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
I'm not 100% sure, but they probably use signed packages, and without the proper key, it won't let you update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
The update files from att are signed. If you can figure out or get your hands on the signature keys you could create any install (including kernels and roms) in an update file that could be installed simply with the stock recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zelendel:
Not to mention making things too easy is a big reason for far more bricks then there should be.

Flashing a custom rom is not ment to be easy as the min you root it you voided your warranty and returning after the fact if you mess up is fraud.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Correct - stock recovery will only flash packages that have been signed by Samsung or AT&T.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dave7:
Unless your root procedure or use thereof caused the phone or hardware to fail then this statement is not 100% true.

Read up on the Magnusson-Moss Act....of course, the burden is on the consumer to fight it.

To me, a phoned is really a cheap disposable piece of hardware. I prefer to take the risk of damage from use that may void my warranty. To me, having my phone (or car, motorcycle,etc...) work the way I want is more valuable than the peace of mind that a warranty provides.

Back on topic... Flashing a ROM is already pretty damn easy. I've done the entire procedure while sitting at red lights on the way home from work... I wouldn't expect a Dev to jump through the necessary hoops to mimic an OTA update

any suggestions on what i can try? i tried placing the ota zip on the sd card and renamed it to p41img.zip, it starts but seems to stop right after it says something about parsing. stock recovery just shows a red exclamation point. i hope i don't have to send it in, this sucks :mad:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wolfpack612:
yea i tried that. at the bottom it says can't open cache/recovery/command, but i still went ahead and wiped data. i want to overwrite /system but the img files are too big for fastboot. can i reapply, just the system part of the update? i'm assuming i might have to create a system.img.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wolfpack612:
looks like i'm stuck until someone can get custom recovery to work on the new hboot :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
That's not going to happen any time soon (custom recovery).

It looks like the second stage of the upgrade didn't happen.

Unzip the ota zip file, and extract the firmware.zip from inside it (do not extract firmware.zip ) Copy that to the SD-CARD and rename if PG41IMG.zip and try installing from the bootloader. If that fails then this is a standard support request.

You will not be the only one who has issues like this during this type of upgrade, and unless footballcomesup trumps again and finds the RUU it will mean a service call to fix the software in a partial upgrade.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wolfpack612:
didn't work that sucks. i managed to do the htc unlock but that didn't help. i tried doing fastboot oem rebootRUU and then fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and got this:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ztm.000:
I have slight scratches on my nexus :( I don't know for the life if me how it happened... I want a new phone or new housing, but I'm afraid that the housing isn't OEM. The repair is easy, but the parts have to be OEM.

Go to eBay and search for "Galaxy Nexus Housing" and you'll get a bunch of different results from different sellers, and they all hover around $43 for the kit (titanium housing and battery door). And about $16 for just the door.

I've already taken the leap about a month ago and picked up what I thought was OEM housing just in case, but upon very very close inspection and looking at where the battery doors connect, different manufacturing markings, and where the plastic was put together, I've decided that its not OEM.

Therefore, I'd like all of your opinions. Please and thank you.

I will try this method.

But I want to know if there are something can be changed or flashed other than this rom.

Can i flash radio? Change hardware setting.

who can tell me.
[Motorola Droid 3] BenSWoodruff:
You don't need the xt883 ROM in order to use the phone on any foreign gsm. The phone must be unlocked by Verizon, then you need to flash the xt883 radio.img, then edit/replace the build.prop. I would flash back to stock first, since the xt883 is a weird ROM, but you probably don't have to. There are already plenty of threads where the explanations have been given, so look around: search Verizon D3 on T-Mobile, D3 on AT&T/T-Mobile, etc.

You will have to turn off 'automatically select operator' in settings and choose manually the one you're using. T-Mobile users will only get edge and below, while AT&T users will get 3g.

I flashed xt862 rom .

Calls and text is OK whether GSM or cdma.

Network is wrong whether GSM or cdma.

I changed APN settings, nothing happened.

What can i do next.
[Motorola Droid 3] BenSWoodruff:
I'm not sure what is wrong with your connection, but mine has problems sometimes where the phone will not recognize any available gsm networks. It's sometimes like this after I reboot my phone, but if changing my settings doesn't work, rebooting again will usually work.

Is your phone unlocked by Verizon? Did you flash the xt883 radio.img since changing your ROM? Did you replace your build.prop file with the tweaked one? I will try to find these resources for you if you still need them, but you should be able to find them by searching if you haven't already. After doing these things, you just have to reboot then go to your settings and tell it to prefer gsm. On T-Mobile, you wont get umts. On AT&T you will get gsm and umts.

In settings, you need to select wifi & network settings -> mobile networks -> network mode -> then choose gsm/umts, back to mobile networks -> under gsm/umts settings, click select network, then choose gsm only for T-Mobile or automatic for AT&T, then click operator select, select network and choose your operator. Select automatically will have a check box next to it and you should deselect it. I didn't have to put in my apn settings, because my sim card provides those automatically.

If these settings tweaks don't work for you then I really have no clue what will fix it because it is likely that something else is wrong. I can't be of much more help without seeing the device. I would suggest to keep playing around in settings and just use your head to see why it's not connecting. If you are getting voice and text service on your carrier, data shouldn't be a problem if your settings are done correctly.

Good luck!

Hey fellow GN users!

I seem to be having a problem with my wifi mac address changing every time I reboot... I was wondering if this is a hardware or a software problem? I have mac address filtering set on my router so it would be convenient if the mac address didn't change... I'm still on my first week with the phone and I want to make sure everything works before my 14 day period is over. Is anyone else having this problem? Anyone know a fix if they are having the problem? Any help would be most appreciated! Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djp952:
Welcome to the club!

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23330

From my support call to Samsung, this is apparently a software issue, but I'm not sure I believe that 100%. For me, I switched my home wifi around to use WPA-2 with a ridiculously long password and no MAC filter to make me no longer care, but that's just me :D I'm secretly hoping to be the guy that can tell Google "hey - you fixed it!!", probably why I don't push harder to exchange my phone.

Please add a comment/star to my Google Code issue if you don't mind; the more people that chime in the better off we will be. I truly believe that a lot of GNs have this problem since it's not something that most people would notice.

If getting rid of your MAC filter is impossible, you should really consider exchanging your device, I imagine it will be quite a while (if ever) for this to get fixed. Call me a pessimist if you must. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grims:
Odd, isn't a MAC address suppose to be hard flashed to the radio?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lumpysherman:
Mine started changing the Mac address today after rooting. The last month with it running stock, no issue. Hmmm, used the Galaxy Nexus tool kit for rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frogskins:
MAC address filtering is not really a good security measure. It is very easy for someone to see the MAC addresses connected to a particular WAP and clone one of them.

You are much more secure using WPA2 with a decently long password.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acroanidd:
I just started experiencing the problem yesterday. My phone DID have a 2c:44 address and I switched roms pretty frequently. I flashed an update to the Codename rom that I had been using for a while, and I wasn't able to connect to my router. Knowing what I thought I knew about MAC addresses I didnt think about it, i rebooted all sortsa crap, then thought what the hell check the mac filter list, and sure enough mine had changed, and now i'm sporting one of the dreaded 00:90:4c addresses and the last few characters change every reboot... I am not a happy camper.

I understand how it isn't an amazing security option, but in a small apartment building in the sticks in PA I know my neighbors have no idea how to get around it. WPA2 uses up too much bandwidth overhead for streaming 1080p over wifi. That's why I dont use it and use MAC filtering.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frogskins:
It is not a bandwidth overhead but a resource hog. But I get your jist. I save all my HD streaming for wired.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aiuspaktyn:
Have you done an EFS partition backup?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acroanidd:
I didnt know what and EFS partition was until I just googled it and I've been rooting / rom'ing phones and devices (5 different phones and 2 tablets) for the last 2 years and never once heard of it.. that being said i did a nandroid backup and restoring it did not help

I'm going to try Odin flashing back, I read somewhere it fixes IMEI / EFS corruption, heres hoping it works for wlan mac addresses. Only place I found an Odin image of it was from megaupload so it will take a long time to get it...

Edit: if you clicked on the link for the firmware i posted, do NOT click it, i think that was GSM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acroanidd:
Well that was a bust, odining back didn't help... I dont want to risk swapping the phone out considering i put one of those zagg screen protectors on it for a phone that is going to have the same problem... I am concerned because of the fact that i did have a valid sticking mac address, and all of a sudden it just stopped which leads me to believe it is totally software related.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Was just about to say it. +1000. There is nothing about MAC address filtering that is secure. Anyone can spoof the MAC address, and its easy to intercept them when in range.

Use a normal security protocol and you'll be better off all around. MAC filtering is just a hassle anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acroanidd:
Thank you for your concerns however as I said before I dont need crazy security, I just had to deal with rednecks connecting to my router using torrents a couple times. Since that has happened and i enabled mac filtering I haven't had any problems (i would know because my internet bandwidth would go to crap)

Actually setting up WPA2 is more of a hassle than logging into a router, clicking on one link and typing in the mac address rather than somehow finding a way to configure my network to handle the bandwidth with WPA2, which I have tried, but even with a dual band n wireless ethernet bridge with gigabit out to a gigabit switch doesnt do the trick, disable wpa2 all of a sudden all my video stuttering woes go away.

That is at a personal level, at work I have MAC filtering not to connect as a security measure but my ip address is assigned based on it, and well it's much more complicated than at home... please if you are going to post something in this thread try to be helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frogskins:
Again, it has nothing to do with bandwidth. It has everything to do with the devices ability to encrypt and decrypt packets at full speeds, which obviously your device cannot do. You might want to step up to something a little more powerful.

I can do 1080p streaming on a G network with WPA2 enabled. The difference between my setup and yours? I am using an enterprise grade WAP (Cisco 1242). It has no problems whatsoever doing the encryption and decryption at the full wireless speed.

And I think you mentioned you were located in Central PA, and all you had to protect from was hicks. Well, I am one of those hicks (Live in Central PA as well) and I LOVE cracking in to WAPs :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stanfna:
I am having this issue now. any solutions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
WPA2 isn't crazy security. I wouldn't recommend anybody running anything less than WPA2 with 256 bit AES encryption. If you can't run that I recommend upgrading your hardware.
