lol. give it some time. but to answer your question, i can't say for 100% i am sure apps cause reboots, but i think they can and do. xda gives me fits sometimes. but surprisingly, most apps haven't given me problems with nexus. if they have, i've uninstalled them right away. i am awaiting a solid build from google before i give a few apps a second chance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chris4beta:
That game is the only app I've ever had reboot the phone. It was odd to me that Nexus #1 played the game fine daily for 2 weeks, Nexus #2 reboots every time. Makes me wonder if it's the phone or the software?

Since no other app is doing that, I'll blame the software for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
it's probably in need of another update still. ics is still fresh so be patient. you are an early adopter still even though it officially came out on verizon.

It supports it in terms of flashing a file from int/ext, as of backing up to a certain i dont know.

Thanks for the reply. My question is that exactly...which CWM version uses the internal SD for nandroid backups other than version 4. something.

Backing up my MIUI to test out the new Weapon, and I can confirm that the build of 5.0.2.7 I have has options for backing up and restoring to both internal or external SDCard. I'm using a build from Euroskank of 5.0.2.7... dunno what other builds there are and if they're any different.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
Awesome thanks for the reply! Flashed 5.0.2.7 and it does give you the option where you want to backup/restore from! 5.0.2.6 did not do that so this is awesome thank you!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] himmip:
Hi there, I'm panicking right now.

I just rooted my phone using a tutorial online and it was no problem and everything worked fine after that.

Then I used another tutorial to flash my ROM to CM7 and that's when I started to have problems.

I booted into ClockworkMod Recovery (holding volume up + home + power) and wiped data and chache partition, then I select "Install zip from sdcard" and chose CM7 zip file which I had put on to my sd card, I get a message that installation was successful.

But now I can't access my phone, it's stuck at the Samsung Galaxy SII logo.

I have wiped data again and used Odin to flash a stock ROM on to my phone but it doesn't work.

I need help guys.

EDIT: This post doesn't matter now, there is a new reply at page 3 with new problems.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prasad:
Did you use a .pit file a repartition when you flashed a stock ROM with ODIN again? What do you mean the phone doesn't work? Does it bootloop or still stuck on the startup logo?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] himmip:
Well the phone did bootloop at one time and I fixed that by flashing a stock ROM on the phone with Odin, did not use a PIT file.

Now the phone is just stuck on the white Galaxy SII logo and I was hoping that flashing the phone again with stock ROM would also fix that.

I did not use a PIT file for that either.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prasad:
Please reflash with a stock ROM that contains DBDATA and use a .pit file for repartitioning... That should fix your phone! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phistachio:
Yep!

@OP Download this package : http://hotfile.com/dl/130600047/b70801e/I9100XXKI3.rar.html

And then, in ODIN, put :

.PIT -> PIT

CODE -> PDA

MODEM -> PHONE

CSC -> CSC

Toggle repartition, and those 2 standard ticks.

DO NOT TICK ANYTHING ELSE

. ;)

That WILL fix your phone :) Bootloops means that you soft bricked it. Flashing a new ROM + PIT

always

fixes a bootlooped device. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] himmip:
Could you link to a ROM with a .pit file, have not found any. Thanks!

Also, I tried flashing to CM7 again with ClockworkMod Recovery and it now said:

E:Error in /sdcard/cmgs.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted

Is that bad?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
The amount of bad advice in this thread is shocking.

Do you actually have an I9100?

My first thought from your original post is that you didn't flash twice in succession, and the flash you did do was practically instant.

Regarding your last post, status 7 is usually when you're trying to flash something not meant for your device.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] himmip:
I have an I9100 and I got the CyanogenMod from the official website where I chose my device.

The first flash was pretty fast yes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prasad:
Wrong.

10 chars.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] himmip:
Thanks man! You saved me!

I was seriously going to stay up all night trying to fix this and skip school tomorrow...

But I still want a custom ROM :)

Is there a better way than booting into ClockworkMod Recovery and installing zip file from sd card?

Also, any idea about why all this would happen to me? I got all the tutorials on an Icelandic forum where a person with the same phone did exactly what I was going to do and it worked perfectly for him, and I have gone over the steps many times, I did not screw up.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
How to flash CM7

1) Flash a kernel with CWM, CF-root will do

2) Download CM7 zip and put it in your internalSD card

3) Boot into CWM

4) Flash CM7 zip

5) Reboot into CWM

6) Flash CM7 zip again

7) wipe cache/data/dalvik cache

6) reboot and wait for upto 10min for it to boot.

You HAVE to flash the CM7 zip twice.

Also you NEVER need to use the .pit, also never tick repartition, a bad flash with repartition ticked is a one way street to hardbrick land.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prasad:
Ideally, you:

1. Flash a stock ROM via ODIN

2. Flash CF-Root via ODIN

3. Flash a custom ROM such as CM9 via CWM Recovery

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
The stable build is much older and actually less stable than the newest nightly.

Also you can restore user apps with titanium backup, just not system apps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prasad:
You can restore non-system apps, just not their data. ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] himmip:
My phone is really starting to annoy me now.

I put a stock ROM on the phone and then flashed CF-Root and when I boot up in CWM and select something it just displays the loading sign and then I hit the power button and I'm back on the main menu of CMW, doesn't matter what I select it only displays the loading sign and it doesn't go away.

It really sucks, I had put all the CM9 files on the SDcard and was ready to go.

EDIT: Never mind guys, finally got it to work :) Thanks for your help!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prasad:
If the Home button doesn't work for you, try selecting with the power button once inside CWM Recovery..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snakeforhire:
seconded... :)

Don't panic dude, it happens sometimes ;) Keeping cool is the key to fixing your phone without making it worse than it already is... I can't count the times this has happened to me already, and there ain't nuffin like a good 'ole repartitioning to set things straight (and show the damn contraption who's boss around these here parts.. I hate those stupid machines to whom nobody has ever taught that Man's genius INVARIABLY always triumphs over dumb and inert matter.. :D)

(although I almost never flash the whole ROM back on : most times flashing the .PIT file and rebooting the device does the trick -unless it's an installed app which caused the trouble in the first place, in which case you're better off starting over from scratch than wasting time trying to debug the problem)

N.B : don't forget to flash the "old bootloader" too, AFTER you've flashed the PIT and rebooted the device (or at least rebooted the recovvery, to check that it boots off a valid partition), I've noticed the new one can give a lot of weird and unpredictable behaviors when used in conjunction with root and a CMx ROM.

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

I was going to ask : have you flashed the CM rom twice, and flashed the google apps pack BEFORE even rebooting the phone ? It's almost always mandatory to do this precise sequence, the installation routine of the CM ROM is not quite perfect -far from it, actually.. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] himmip:
Well it was CM9 so I only flashed it once and then right after that, without rebooting, I flashed to Google apps and Faceunlock.

The ROM is working, I'm using it right now.

I do have a small problem with Titanium backup though. I was going to restore my apps (not system data) and it starts restoring but I have to manually press install on every single app and that's going to take forever...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snakeforhire:
now that's a bug i never experienced, and boy am I glad about that... ^^

Try rebooting the phone twice and try again, should work.. And, don't restore the data, just the apps..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] himmip:
I did what you said but I still get a boot loop.

I have followed so many different tutorials to get a custom ROM on my phone (was going to install CM7 now) and it never works. After flashing the phone always gets stuck at logo or in a boot loop...

Well maybe not always, as you can see in the post above I was able to flash CM9 experimental build. I did exactly the same steps as I did with CM9 with CM7 but it didn't work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] himmip:
I decided to do it again, twice.

Here's how:

CF-Root -> zip on sd -> flash CM7 twice -> wipe data/cache/dalvik -> reboot

CF-Root -> zip on sd -> wipe data/cache/dalvik -> flash CM7 twice -> reboot

After both times the phone ended up in a bootloop.

I didn't do it right after, I installed stock in between flashes.

Hello all, as you know the sgs2 looks pretty sweet without a cover and i was wondering if anyone knew of alternative back covers are sold. Basically when you lay a naked sgs2 down you risk scratching the camera lens. Can we purchase a thicker battery cover? Or even a padded one? Just as a different choice to buying a case to cover the entire phone.

Look forward to your replies!

if you buy the official 2000mah battery, it comes with a new battery case and because the battery is thicker, the back cover extends out by a couple millimeters covering the camera

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.mcdear:
I honestly don't like the idea of touchscreen recovery menus. The Amon Ra recovery on my Rezound has the touch buttons activated and I've already messed up once by hitting the screen with my hand.

When it comes to something as important as the recovery menu, I prefer the use of physical buttons.

Everybody thought the Eris recovery was awesome cause it used the trackball for selecting items rather than the volume buttons... but then when the trackball broke I was SOL for awhile until somebody released one with the physical buttons enabled.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabidrabbit001:
(a.mcdear)

The Beta 1-6 for (HD2) allows you to use touch screen rendering and physical buttons. This format rules your argument moot. Have you even looked at the thread I posted to read in my first post?

Well obviously I'm not. I have no idea what this means in practice - is it good or bad for dhd in scope of custom roms?
[Desire HD General] Dyonas:
It should mean it's easier to use custom ROMs. Until now we've had to rely on unpatched exploits to gain access to the bootloader. This official tool means less risk but it also means HTC will know you've done it and your warranty is probably void.

For me and many others the risk of losing warranty is an acceptable risk. Of course you could still use unofficial means to flash custom ROMs if you're worried. I'm due a phone upgrade in March anyway so I don't really mind.
[Desire HD General] jpcdeux:

As long as we have a working AAHK I think it's of course nice to have an official way to unlock our bootloaders - but not really necessary.

[Desire HD General] geejay008:
...After looking at the FAQ section for it, it seems the official HTC method still leaves you S-ON with your Radio and SIM-LOCK... er... locked... >_<

I'm pretty sure everyone here knows how crippled your DHD would be without the ability to flash different radios... and the loss of the ability to unlock SIM would be a pain in the a** ...but not nearly as bad as not being able to change your radio...

So I think I'll stick with jkoljo's method or AAHK procedure for now.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] sabaramo:
Hi there,

Apologies if this is the wrong section or if it has already been posted.

I recently acquired an 8500 from Overseas (Middle East region) which doesn't seem to hold a stable 2G or 3G signal here in Australia (both before and after the update - see below).

I am normally an Android guy, and with Android you have the ability to flash different radios/modems/basebands btu I cant seem to find this anywhere. Is the radio automatically upgraded when flashing a new firmware?

I just (literally hours ago) upgraded to KL6 but it seems the radio hasnt changed.

WHen I type in *#5239870*# into the phone this is what I got both before KL6 and after.

Pre flash to KL6

S8500+JP+JH1

Modem:

SHP: VPP R5 2.1.1

CSC: S8500OJPJG1

Post flash to KL6

S8500+XX+KL6

Modem:

SHP: VPP R5 2.1.1

CSC: S8500OXAKL6

Note in both cases, there is nothing next to Modem

Is there a repository of radio files that is out there (for the life of me, no amount of google or xda searches have found anything)?

Any Australian users out there care to share what modem they have?

Can I flash that same amss.bin from the argentinian 1.2 with my KL6 bada 2.0 firmware?

Frankenware 1.2.0 :D
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
you can try but honestly i doubt that it will work

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] PJK2011:
Right, MyLove90. I just went through the same thing with Bada 2.0 flashed on a Bell Mobility Canada S8500M that I am trying to use in Thailand.

Step 1 - Try amss.bin from DXKE1 firmware with Bada 2.0. - No boot up - freezes on flashing SIM image.

Step 2 - Try to flash DXKE1 complete firmware. This is a downgrade from Bada 2.0 to Bada 1.2. Also set Preconfiguration to THL (Thailand) from default KOR.

Now the phone boots up, but it it cannot be used with the GSM network. Why is this? GSM is a world phone, right? People travel all over the world with their GSM phones and just buy local SIMs while travelling don't they? I had no trouble at all with this when I first brought my T-Mobile G1 phone from the US here. I just popped in the same AIS SIM and it worked fine with no fiddling with the phone at all.

By the way, my Thai carrier is AIS, and setting preconfig to THL makes this a fully AIS phone. AIS menu options and Mobile AP settings, etc that were not there before now appear all over the phone menus.

When trying to dial, I get the no network service error. If I try to select network manually, or access the SIM for a contact phone number or to set a PIN lock, the message changes to "Emergency Calls Only".

So I'm starting to think that I have a defective phone with bad radio, but I figure, well, I can dial 911 with no harm because here emergency is 191. So I dial 911 and the phone dials and starts ringing. Oops! So I hang up so I won't get in trouble, but at least the phone works!

So what's wrong? I went to AIS and after playing with the menus and trying one of their SIMs, they blame the phone not being from Thailand, but as far as I can see, after the Thai firmware flash, this phone is the same as what Samsung shipped to AIS themselves. There are no SIM locks or any reason the phone shouldn't work.

Any ideas? Am I missing something?

sabaramo, it sounds to me like your phone is not a 8500T or a 8500M model. Thus unless you are with Telstra, using the Argentinan modem file wouldn't be recommended as you would be changing your broadband frequencies.
