[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shadow12347:
Hello,

I am having a major problem... earlier today i made a backup of my ics'd out v8 rom in order to try the new CM7 Kang. I got the kang running but needed to install gapps. For some reason rom manager was not letting me install it from there because it wasn't an updated version of rom manager and i couldn't get an updated version. So i figured I would go back to my ics'd rom, download gapps on the sdcard, and then go back to cm7 to install... NOPE.

Every time I try to restore my backup I get md5 mismatch error. I went through a bunch of different threads for different phones and tried all the adb stuff it said and nothing worked. For some reason when I ran the command (given here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=714114) "cd /sdcard..." the pound # changed to a > and everything I typed would just be repeated back at me. The phone never even asked for superuser permission. I am pretty sure that I have the adb stuff right since when I type in "adb devices" in command I see the device, but I just have no clue how to fix this. Maybe the instructions given on this page only applies to that particular phone?

I would really like to be able to recover this backup and if anyone has instructions on how to fix this error on this phone it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

ADB was working if you got a # prompt

Custom kernels are almost all "insecure" kernels - ADB sessions automatically have root permissions.

This was the case for you - a # prompt means you have root privileges.

A $ prompt means you don't

A > prompt means that something you typed on the previous line made the shell decide you wanted to type more before executing the command. Control-C will break out of this. So if you got a > prompt after the "cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/blahblah" command - you mistyped something on that line. Possibly you put a ; in there by accident, or you have opening quotes without closing quotes

There is a comment later in that thread "the folder name for your backup couldn't have spaces in it" - Weird characters in the directory name would be a possible cause of your cd command failing.

CWM should never have created a folder name that behaves like this, unless you did a nandroid backup using ROM Manager. If you did - another reason NOT to use ROM Manager.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] getbuzzin:
Did you change the file name of the backup? make sure there is no spaces in file name. hope this help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Artimus009:
I would just download gapps to computer then move the file to phone. Then reboot into cwm and flash galls.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
adb push

is your friend - great way to put a file on the phone when it's in recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shadow12347:
Thanks for the reply! Yeah that would make sense but I copied the file path directly from windows explorer and I checked for spaces too... Yeah I only do backups straight from CWM.

I did change the name from the original name, I added like "ics'doutv8siyah2.6.1blahblahblah" to the beginning so that I could distinguish which backup was which. Could this make a difference? I mean I have done this before without issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shishir95:
Change it back and see if it works

Only letters, numbers and periods. the ' is probably to blame.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shadow12347:
Well I deleted the beginning and it looked like it was going to work because it was checking md5 sums for a while and then it said md5 mismatch. But it wasn't instant like the other times.

I think I read on one of the pages that you could take the nandroid.md5 from another backup and replace it with the one in the nonworking backup, is this true and would it work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shadow12347:
Ok nevermind, I forgot to do the ADB thing again xD it worked... THANK YOU SO MUCH!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Most likely.

I usually rename my backups manually to something like romname_date in ADB

e.g.

villainrom_1224

I NEVER put spaces or other characters in the rom name

Right now I think I have:

modstock_1128

villainrom_1224

uckk6_1224

one other ROM...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shadow12347:
Ok guys I'm sorry, it happened again... except this time I think it may be a problem with ADB. When I am in adb shell, it shows up as "~ #" instead of just "#", however, typing "su" changed it to just "#". However, in both instances ("~ #" and "#") it gets an error:

~ # cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-01-22.18.04.05

cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-01-22.18.04.05

/sbin/sh: cd: can't cd to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-01-22.18.04.05

and

# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-01-22.18.04.05

cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-01-22.18.04.05

cd: can't cd to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-01-22.18.04.05

This is the original name, there are no spaces, I checked the driver for the phone, etc.

Anyone got any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shadow12347:
Oops double post -_-
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Try tab-completion (type part of a directory name and hit tab - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, usually should work when ADBing into CWM), and use "cd" and "ls" to navigate through directories instead of just pasting the whole path.

ls = same thing as dir in DOS
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shadow12347:
Alright so I did that and found out the sdcard isn't mounting...

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb shell

# ls

ls

acct fota.rc recovery.rc

app-cache init res

etc proc

# cd /mnt

cd /mnt

# ls

ls

asec obb sdcard secure usb

# cd /sdcard

cd /sdcard

# ls

I also went into root explorer and it said "SD card is not currently mounted"

...uhhh I feel like a noob to ask this but, how do you mount it? xD

The thing is, though, that it dismounts when I plug it into the computer to transfer files/adb, but it is mounted afterwards...

Hi everyone,

First off, I am not responsible for any damage to your phone (even though you should not damage your phone this way).

So I made a modified version of febycv's directions to get 50GB of free storage from Box.net. All thanks should go to him in his original thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20641328#post20641328

I just did this and it worked perfectly.

If you want the Box.net sync feature without paying, you can use SocialFolders! It is a fantastic alternative. If you choose to sign up, please do it through my link: https://socialfolders.me/r/3oxb1

Edit:

Turns out that you can also use an app to do this very easily. http://xdaforums.com/show...php?p=20728662

Edit 2:

The application for unrooted users has been pulled from the market, but their is a .apk download directly from redphx on his own thread Here

Just make sure that you can install .apk files from unkown sources in your application settings menu on your phone.

I flashed cyanogenmod 7.1 a few days back and really love this ROM.

The camera though seems to be really bad. Everything appears dark once the picture is taken.

Is there any way to flash the stock camera to cyanogenmod ? Or any other solution ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] returnzer0:
I can confirm this. Using Euroskank 12-26 kang, the camera seems to take an acceptable picture, but when first reviewed and later viewed in the gallery, the picture becomes very dark. Once viewed online or on another device, the picture seems to be fine.

So.. not really sure if it's a problem with the camera or the gallery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3000:
Nothing to do with the hardware camera...Try flashing a stock camera apk or just revert back to your previous rom backup and do a clean wipe and try again

Hi dallathebest,

you can fix it just editing the build.prop file and uncommenting

You will need a root file explorer to do this, remember to remount read only the system mount point.

I am loving this rom but I am nervous if and when the developer comes out with a new version.

When the newer version comes out how do I update to the newest version? Do I have to erase everything and start over again? Thanks so much!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nedzadk:
well if you installed stock ROM, you will probably recieve an update without need to delete anything, but if you used custom ICS rom like CM than you will have to update it manually...

I believe i was clear!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stu5797:
thanks but I was talking about when the developer of the custom rom has a newer version. Wondering if there is an easy way to update.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nedzadk:
download it, put it on phone, and just apply it using CW recovery, if its same rom but new versiom, for example CM9 v19 and you want to put CM9 v20 than in most cases you just apply it and it should work, but its always good practice to make backup before any ROM update...use titanium backup or something similar
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stu5797:
so can I just wipe cache and dalvik cash then install?

Will my home screen be the same?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AngelosDracul:
In most cases, you can clear caches, and flash over. I went from 32 to 43 without wiping, and have no issues. In fact, it is my main fallback backup when testing new ROMs. By doing this, all previous settings will stay.

If there is a major overhaul, though, you will want to wipe if you run into force closes. So let's say Google releases 4.0.4 tomorrow and aosp releases a new ROM update based on it. In most cases, you will want to full wipe and clean install. This is where titanium backup pro is very useful.

I'm staying in Japan for couple of months, and I'm planning to import GT-I9250, so that I don't have to keep paying for data rental service, but I'm now wondering whether I'm stuck using docomo, or I could go to softbank.

Since the phone doesn't support LTE, I would rather go to softbank and use their ultra speed. Can any body let me know whether this phone works with Softbank, and ultra speed?

I know it should be as easy as checking frequency. However, GT-I9250 does not officially support Japanese frequency, but I have seen reports that proves otherwise.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schuppe:
Coming from a HTC Desire, I bought a 6 month old Galaxy S II off a colleague.

I used to run CM7 on the Desire, and was happy with it. So I wanted to install it on the Galaxy as well.

Figuring out Odin and installing CWM was fairly easy, so I was set up with CM7 in no time.

The issue I have is that no matter what modem I use, I can't get a reliable cell signal out of my phone. I've tried some (10ish) different modems from this page.

All of them get 'emergency calls only' sometimes, and dBm values of -95 at best, sometimes going over -106 before dropping connection (emergency calls only).

Signal bars usually stay at 2/4.

If I have connection, I do seem to be able to max out my 3G connection (capped at 1Mbps by the operator) with some modems, but not all.

After restoring stock firmware, I get -77dBm and better, 4/4 signal bars most of the time.

Stock firmware uses XXKE7 modem.

When I tried to use that modem in CM7, I got the same bad results.

I am in Belgium on the Mobile Vikings carrier, which uses the BASE network.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this problem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btrav:
I'm not sure if you have to tinker with the phones APN settings there in Belgium. Sometimes that is the way to troubleshoot poor data connectivity.

Google "apn settings" and the name of your carrier and see what you can come up with.

Other than that I'd just suggest trying different modems. :) Hope that helps

It is the open source drivers CM based roms use. I see the same on every device I have run CM based roms on. The generic drivers have less radio and wifi signal strength. They don't use the built in hardware to the Max like OEM drivers do.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] markimar:
OK I've got mine on normal mode, and this kind of confirms my original thought that the 500mhz 5th core is clocked to low. I find the pad actually speeds up when I have multiple items in my recently run tab! If my understanding of the way it works these programs are still running in the background right? Then it starts kicking in the other 4 and not just running on the 5th at 500mhz! I really think we'd see a speed boost if we can get that 5th core over 500. Yes its supposed to save battery life but I really don't think 500 is fast enough to run on its own. You're thoughts and observations?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ryan562:
ill check on this when i get home. this issue im assuming is with honeycomb itself. we would assume that ICS would properly use those cores

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II t989
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] original G:
i don't have it yet (mine gets delivered on wed), but what you observed makes perfect sense. Can they change it to run on say an 800 MHZ constant "down" to 500MHZ when doing the most simple tasks? obviously i to do not believe that 500MHZ will be sufficient at all times to do screen scrolling and such on it's own.

I'm really hoping that the few performance issues people are seeing is resolved in firmware updates and a tegra 3 optimized version of ICS. Maybe asus/nvidia needs to do more tweaking to HC before the ICS build is pushed if it will take a while for ICS to arrive to the prime (past january).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
The cores are optimized just fine. They kick in when rendering a web page or a game, but go idle and use the 5th core when done. Games always render.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Nothing's changed over HC in the way ICS uses h/w acceleration. And I'd assume apps using h/w acceleration do so via calls to the OS, not to the chip directly. So it appears what you've got is what you're going to get.

---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

Do you have Pulse installed? A bunch of people using it were reporting stuttering where their lower powered devices aren't. If you run it at full speed, does it stutter? One of the hypothesis is that it's the core's stepping up and down that's causing the stuttering.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mithent:
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that the OS knows about the fifth core? I believe the chip's own scheduler manages the transition between the quad-core and the companion core, not the Android scheduler.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
That's the way I'd guess it would work. I don't think Android addresses different chips differently. I'd assume it's up to the SoC to manage the incoming instructions and react accordingly. If Android was modified for dual-core, I don't think it diffentiates between the different implementations of dual-core chips. Someone with more h/w experience correct me if I'm wrong. Also, does anyone know if the chip manufacturer can add additional API's that developers can write to directly either instead of or in parallel with the OS? I ask because how can a game be optimized for Tegra if to the OS all chips are treated the same?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I tried out the power savings mode for a while.it seemed to perform just fine. Immediate difference is that it lowers the contrast ratio on display. This happens as soon as you press the power savings tab. Screen will look like brightness dropped a bit but if you look closely, you'll see it lowered the contrast ratio. Screen still looks good but not as sharp as in other 2 modes. UI still seems to preform just fine. Plus I think the modes doesn't affect gaming or video playback performance. I read that somewhere, either anandtech or Engadget. When watching vids or playing games, it goes into normal mode. So those things won't be affected no matter what power mode you in, I think..lol

I was thinking of starting a performance mode thread. To see different peoples results and thoughts on different power modes. I read some people post that they just use it in power/battery savings mode. Some keep it in normal all the time. Others in balanced mode. Would be good to see how these different modes perform in real life usage. From user perspective. I've noticed, so far, that In balanced mode, battery drains about 10% an hour. This is with nonstop use including gaming, watching vids, web surfing, etc. now in battery savings mode, it drains even less per hour. I haven't ran normal mode long enough to see how it drains compared to others. One thing though, web surfing drains battery just as fast as gaming.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
I hate quoting myself but I found the answer on Nvidia's website. Any otimizations are handled through OpenGL. So games written to handle additional calls that Teg2 can support are making those calls through OpenGL with the OS (I'm guessing) used as a pass-through. It would also explain why Tegra optimized games fail on non-Teg devices because they wouldn't be able process the additional requests. So it would appear that Teg optimization isn't being done through the OS. Again, correct me if I'm wrong.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mithent:
I did some research on it; here's what Nvidia say:

http://www.nvidia.com/content/PDF/t...e-for-Low-Power-and-High-Performance-v1.1.pdf

So it uses the existing architecture for CPU power states, but intercepts that at a low level and uses it to control the companion core/quad-core switch?

Edit: I wonder if that means that tinkering with the scheduler/frequency control would allow the point at which the companion core/quad-core switch happens to be altered? If the OP is correct, this might allow the companion core to be utilised less if an increase in "smoothness" was desired, at the cost of some battery life?
