[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arcalis:
Hey everyone, Merry Christmas :)

Since the day I've brought my GSII I've been running VillainROM. It's great and I don't have any issues with it but I live in an area of exceptionally low signal. My network provider is Orange and I believe the Galaxy SII supports their UMA Signal Boost app that will allow me to connect to the Orange network via my home broadband (over WiFi) and thus give me signal for once!!

I've done some research and it doesn't seem like it's possible to just download an .apk of the Signal Boost app, so the only thing I can think of doing is completely wiping my phone and putting the latest official Orange UK/Galaxy SII ROM on it. While I love the benefits of a custom ROM, signal is more important to me (it is a phone, after all....)

I've never had to revert to stock, so could some kind soul please give me a guide on what I need to do? Where do I get the latest version of the Orange ROM? Do I flash it in the same way I would flash a custom ROM? If that's the case, so I then lose root access and recovery mode?

And finally...will my Tiny Tower game save be lost?? Or does Mobage keep game progress on their servers?? (Priorities, eh! haha)

Sorry for all the questions, any help that you can provide would be awesome.

EDIT- One final question I have just thought of. How do I also get the modem back to the original version? Will flashing everything back to stock solve this? I basically want to reset everything so that it's like I just purchased the phone from Orange.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arcalis:
Thanks for the quick reply :)

Sorry for my stupidity but I still don't really know what ROM I should be flashing from the list...there appear to be three: BVKE3, BVKG3 and BVKJ4. Shall I just pick any one that I fancy?

Once I've flashed the appropriate ROM, do I then update the modem manually myself via ODIN? If so, what modem do I select? Or could I install the new ROM, hook it up to Kies and it will do the rest for me?

Many thanks

Simon
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arcalis:
Actually, I've just read somewhere that flashing the firmware does the kernel and modem all in one. Is that right?

EDIT- Okay, so I bit the bullet and flashed the BVKJ4 firmware. I'm now stuck in a boot loop.

So, I found this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20656074#post20656074 which told me to flash the KI3 firmware as this will do a full wipe and THEN install BVKJ4. I'm going to give this a try now and will report back...

EDIT 2 - Okay, so the KI3 flash worked :) I'm now reflashing the BVKJ4 firmware in the hope that it works and I can get that blasted Signal Boost app...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arcalis:
Update on what's happened since my last post. I have successfully updated to what I think is the latest firmware version on Orange (UK).

Kies now says that my phone cannot be updated. Can someone let me know what I should flash in order to allow Kies to manage this for me? Noe I've gone back to stock, it's just easier to allow Kies to sort it out for me, instead of me keeping up to date with the million threads on the internet with the latest ROMs.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
KIES cannot update unless the provider has given an update to the KIES server . If you have flashed Orange firmware its they who supply KIES .Ask Orange for last update .

If you have flashed various roms you may find your product codes no longer match any firmware .You need a total removal of KIES and all KIES registry settings from your PC .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arcalis:
Well, prior to rooting my phone in the first place, Kies was fine with updating my firmware. I got it from Phones4U on release day, so it's not carrier branded. I believe (although I'm not 100% sure) that I wouldn't have had the Orange firmware but rather the generic Samsung firmware.

The only reason I'm flashing the Orange firmware is for Signal Boost. But as I said previously, I don't want to keep checking the internet for new software versions. When ICS is ready for example, I just want Kies to manage the update for me. Could you please let me know whether completely uninstalling Kies (and registry entries) will fix my issue? It's a lot of effort if it won't and I need to install a different firmware version instead.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
It might is the answer .

You have gone down the non standard firmware path by rooting and installing custom roms thereby changing codes .

If the codes on your phone match a KIES update then it updates its as simple as that .

Basic problem is not saving a copy of original firmware and all its codes that might have helped .Find your original firmware flash it and see if KIES will update .

[Kindle Fire General] crimsontide:
I followed the BurritoRoot method on my KF 6.2.1. I have installed the marketplace, a new launcher, and lots of other apps.

All I wanted to do was change the permission to stop the wallpaper rotation. However when i browse with ES File Explorer, I get "empty folder" if I look in /data. So I attempted to open the setting of ES File Explorer and select "Root Explorer". and it told me Sorry test failed unable to run this feature on your phone.

Finally I downloaded a program called "Root Check" and clicked Verify Root Access, its gives me "Sorry, you don't have root access."

However the fact I can install all these apps, etc leads me to believe I do have access.

One last this. I have a Nexus S 4g root, and it often prompts me to to use superuser app, I am not seeing this on the KF.

I do have GO Task manager widget, that shows the superuser icon as loaded.

I am very confused. In the end all I wanted was to stop the blasted wallpaper changer. HA!

ty!
[Kindle Fire General] sl0ttedpig:
If you used BurritoRoot and you were able to successfully install the Market, then you likely have root.

Easiest and simplest way to 100% know is connect your KF to your PC. Run the following:

adb shell
su

If it says "su: Permission Denied" you don't have root (or at least it is not currently enabled). If it just gives you a prompt run:

id

If it comes back and says "uid=0(root) gid=0(root)" then you are good.
[Kindle Fire General] enTRAPAG:
Make sure you use the superuser posted in the burritoroot post. There was one posted originally that was no good with the kindle fire but they updated to a working one.
[Kindle Fire General] litotamez:
if you want to know your kindle is rooted, use root checker, installed it on you KF and check.

Even if you have full signal strength to whatever router i noticed speedtest is slower on the prime then other devices on same network ie. Laptops,netbooks, or smartphones anyone else noticing the same thing?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
That is correct. but really I don't need anymore speed then what I am getting.

The low numbers are from my 4g hotspot phone

My Sig is the speed it is capable of
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
Well I noticed your sig was done on the 1st of Dec and this was done on the 24th and 25th. It would be better that the test be ran at the same time. Who knows if your data speed was 39mb's on the 24th or 25th. Your isp could have been slower that day for some reason. When I get my Prime, sometime this week, I'll test my phone (Evo 3D), my wife's (Evo 4G), my laptop (Macbook pro from '08), and the Prime and compare the results. I will try them in multiple spots in my house to see what the variation in speeds will be.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Z!GZA!G:
I was just wondering if an unlocked Bell HTC Desire Z will work on the Wind Mobile network??

Thanks a lot.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kaijura:
The Desire Z will work if you only plan to use EDGE speeds.

You should get the T-mobile G2 because the radio uses the 3G/3.5G (HSPA) on 1700/2100 bands, same as Wind Mobile if they use 1700/2100.

The Bell Desire Z uses the 3G/3.5G (HSPA) on 850/1900 bands, same bands as AT&T.
[G2 and Desire Z General] theSpam:
As far as I know, Wind currently does not operate an EDGE network. So, as the above poster said, you're better off getting the T-Mobile G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] speedstix:
Wind Mobile Desize Z

I have the T-Mobile G2 and it works great on the WIND network.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr234:
Wind uses ONLY AWS (1700/2100). There is no fallback edge/PCS network, except for ROAMING on ROBBERS ($0.25/minute, $4/MB).

What you should try to do is find a US ATT user who has a Vision for TMOBILE and propose a swap (since tmobile version of the hardware won't work 3G on ATT).

Alternatively, just buy a new phone and switch to Wind. The $$ savings will QUICKLY pay for the new phone -- especially since the HMP $40 unlimited everything plan is still available (I think only until this sunday unless they extend it again...). HTC DOUBLESHOT (marketed as tmobile mytouch4gslide) is the successor to htc vision, and is 100% compatible with Wind. They're $500.
[G2 and Desire Z General] evilcuber:
I've tried going to a Wind Mobile store and testing their sim card, but it didn't work as Wind Mobile dosen't support the bands that the Desire Z has. But the G2 works on wind.
[G2 and Desire Z General] diamondisz:
I just bought HTC G2 from t-mobile, and unlocked it, but oddly my data wont work even though i have unlimited everything you you help me with the network settings?:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] Borteeo:
Did you update the APN settings? If that doesn't ring a bell, you can find a better guide than I could write by checking your favourite websearch site. If you updated the APNs and still don't have data... that seems to be an intermittent bug. Try changing the name of the data APN a few times, sometimes that'll force a connection.

This thread is for Devs trying to crack the encryption on the Droid X's bootloader.

The linked files are from the leaked .588 update. If you look through them with a binary viewer (Bless works best on Linux) you can see all of the eFuse commands, and also a 'ROM_FAILED' phase.

What we know:

2048-Bit RSA encrypted

2048-Bit means only 245 bytes of encrypted data

Partition can be echoed to a computer ( it's mmcblk1p15 )

So what could I use this for?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zeklandia:
Reply

The really long string of numbers and letters (with a few symbols) could be the encryption key for the bootloader. The attached file is definitely an encryption key for something, but it is password protected, and therefore encrypted its self.

THE PASSWORD FOR ENGINEERING_KEY.P12 IS: password

SOOOOOOO CLOSE!!!!!!

Brian: Hi, my name is Brian. How may I help you?

Zeklandia: Hi, I seem to have lost the encryption key to my Droid X's bootloader

Brian: My apologies. Are you trying to root the device?

Zeklandia: No, just loading a custom kernel

Brian: My apologies but we do not have any encryption keys for the bootloader of the phone.

However, we do not recommend installing non-Motorola software on the device as it may cause concerns and it will void the warranty of the phone.

Zeklandia: Do you know somewhere I could go to find the keys/somebody I could talk to to get them?

Brian: My apologies but we do not have any information about that.

Zeklandia: Do you know who would

Zeklandia: ?

Brian: I am sorry but I we really do not have any information about the encryption keys.

Zeklandia: Okay, Thanks!

Brian: If you need any more information get in touch. Thanks from Motorola, bye!

Came with 28% charge...took about 2+ hrs to run it down til it shut itself off. Charging it as I type this comment.

[Edit 1] OK, I've fully recharged and calibrated the battery. One short call and a movie. Battery went from 100% down to 62% then 55% in less than 2 minutes. I rebooted and it suddenly dropped down to 15% within a 3hr period. Will try a 2nd recharge to see if it does any better.

[Edit 2] After fully recharging and calibrating a 2nd time, the battery drain is a lil better. Now 90% after being off charger for 4hrs 24 mins. Hopefully, it'll be even better after a 3rd recharge.

I also agree with the ET4G 1800mah OEM battery. They are 20% more MAH than stock and last almost exactly 20% longer.

When you say your phone dies in 4 hrs, is that 4 hrs of constant screen on time, or 4 hrs of idle/sitting around time? 4 hours of screen on is going to be pretty good for this phone and I could not get that much on the stock battery. With the 1800mah I could probably get a bit over 4 hours screen on time.

On the other hand if your phone is dying after 4 hours of mostly sitting idle, you've got a problem, most likely a software problem. Flash back to stock, fully charge the battery, and then give it a test and see what happens.
