i just got this phone and tried to root it. i installed the kernal using oden and it went over without a hitch... but then after the phone turned off it got stuck at the boot screen with the yellow triangle and wouldnt go any further. after some time i unpluged it and turned it off and on. same thing happened. so i flashed the kernal again. this time when i turn it on it sais "firmware update encountered an issue- connect to keis in recovery mode.

i tried connecting to keis but it sais the device will not respond. i cant enter clockwork recovery mode cuz it just goes to the same error screen. i can only get into oden mode. i have a i9100 mugkg2 on tellus. nothing is working. i also tried using oden to install the stock rom but it fails every time. please help! how can i just get it back to factory
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] holdengtsr1:
It sounds like you've bricked your phone, have you tried a USB jig to try and reset it yet? Try ebay, look for i9100 usb jig
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] KapTmaH:
Install KIES, then use the Unlock Root
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sziegu:
Hi teck2100,

If you can get into odin mode (aka download mode) then you're fine. You should be able to flash a stock rom using odin.

Look here for a list of roms: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113928 and pick one that you can root using D00ml0rd's method (zergrush), it's the simplest way I've found for root and Mobile Odin is the best app for custom rom's in my opinion.

Good luck and if it helped please use thanks,

Stefan.
[LG Optimus 2x] Pupsika:
Hey guys,

I was on a very stable cm nightly (183 or something).

After I tried to update to the latest nightly I ALWAYS get errors:

- crashes

- stuck on lg or cm logo

- huge battery drainage (100% in 4h)

- no sound anymore

- ...

I tried every combination of baseband, kernel and rom.

But most Kernels I couldn't even boot.

I always wiped data, cache + "mounts and storage": format cache, data, emmc, system + dalvik cache, battery stats.

So I think the only solution is to COMPLETELY empty the phone (even cmw etc.) and start from scratch.

How can I do that? Should I use SmartFlashTool?
[LG Optimus 2x] SP1996AC:
Or you could flash a CM KANG instead of a nightly. KANGs are more stable than nightlies to.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barondebxl:
Hi everyone, I currently own a Samsung galaxy s2 I9100 and I freaking love that phone, but I love new things and I'm really intrigued by the Galaxy nexus. The 720P screen is a killer and it has ice cream sandwich. I've held the phone before it came out in the US and for the short period of time i played with it I was impressed. I use my phone mostly for web browsing ( 95% of the time) then calls and texts of course but I don't really care about the megapixels in the camera cause I don't take a lot of pics. I also don't really play games, I got my PS3 for that so basically I just wanna know how this phone compares to the Galaxy SII I9100. Is it worth upgrading or should I wait for ICS to hit the S2 and get a super phone in the summer? Tell me what you guys think thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonarm:
If you love your s2, stay with it. I had one and I know what I'm talking about. But here is the reason why I changed it for the nexus. I didn't like the s2's screen for having that bad production quality with all that rests of glue and the uneven color quality. The Nexus is much better at that. Also the resolution of the galaxy nexus is way better. Something that bugged me a lot on the s2, since the display is huge and you wanna see a lot of pixels on such a big screen, right?!

But the most bang for the bug is ICS and I like the simplicity of it on the nexus. I think Samsung will get it on the s2 with a lot more of crapware.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andy7g:
unless 720p is a must have... I think you can wait for the next superphone in the summer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yohojones:
I had the i9100 and switched to the GNex because I wanted to get away from a vendor or carrier holding back updates.

I don't think the screen is as good on the GNex. Less colorful and more grainy. Where I really noticed it was the top bar on the facebook app. It really pops with blue on the i9100 but seems drab on the GNex. Videos seem more grainy but that is because I'm watching on a high res screen on the GNex. High def video looks better but the low res screen on the i9100 hid some of the flaws before.

The camera seems to react quicker. (Less shutter lag.) I can't tell a difference as far as picture quality. The tiny lens on the phone has more to do with the quality than the sensor IMO.

Battery seems about the same. Of course the GNex is going dead a lot more quickly right now but that's because it's new and I'm playing with it more.

ICS is taking some getting used to. I never used the search bar and it's annoying that I can't get rid of it now. Different contact structure and having to move ringtones into a directory instead of long tapping and just setting as ringtone is a pain especially when you don't have a file browser installed by default. Widgets can't be added by long pressing on the home screen have to go to the app drawer.

Just little things you have to get used to.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barondebxl:
Thanks a lot for your replies guys, I think I'm gonna stick with the Galaxy SII for now, I always jump on a phone soon as it comes out, I think I'm going to hold off maybe till the Galaxy 3 comes out or maybe try something else. You guys enjoy your phones thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MagicMan3:
I'm "trying" out the Nexus for a couple more days and unsure if I'm keeping it or going back to my s2. I love the screen and physical shape of the Nexus but my s2 is smoother and quicker. The Nexus feels so good in hand due to its shape. Guess I'll be flipping a coin before the two weeks are up. Lol

Does anyone know of a way to remove the proximity sensor drivers or shut it off completely my screen just goes black during a call and i need to use the keypad during calls i have tried all the proximity apps on market and it has no effect, have tried calibration etc odin firmware updates to the point i killed my phone just got it back from repair and was told it needs a new chip to rectify the problem.

I have spent weeks going through forums for a solution and i know on my brothers sgs 2 it has a setting in the menu to turn it off.

This seems to be a common problem with no resolve so im looking for someone to resolve this problem and make alot of people happy.

We all no As these phones age this will be more and more common.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daft Monk:
screen should go back on when you move your head out of the ~5cm sensor radious. if it is not happening there are two possibilities:

- something wrong with firmware -> reflash phone with pure unrooted samsung firmware and check if problem persist

- someting is wrong with proximity sensor -> use warranty and send it to service center with proper description of the problem
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] looneythenutter:
Thanks for the replys the home button won't work as the proxy is up the spout had it checked the chip is blown, when u press the home key won't work as the phone is trying to find the proxy then eventualy it will crash and force close.

No software update will do it as its a hardware fault unless it turns it off so will have a look at the one you suggested.

There is def a stock version but i fear it is only on the s2 to turn blank screen off il check my bro's firmware, till then keep the suggestions coming in thanks....

My parents just got one of those HD sets with it built in and so I finally tried this feature. It worked really well aside from some pausing, which I'm guessing is choking due to it being a 720p video from my phone and maybe the connection. The video itself was only about 45 seconds.

But what chiefly impressed me other than the proof of concept was that the devices recognized each other right away. Does anyone use it and is it smoother than my experience?

Hey guys,

Just want to say again how awesome this forums is. I have a Sprint Shift that I flashed 2 weeks ago with CM7 and it has been nice and stable, love it.

However, I have an issue now. It seems that my signal has gotten very poor and often switches to roaming and then back and is still worse in the same areas where I was pre-flashing and rooting.

Does rooting and flashing affect the PRL at all (I had to downgrade etc...)?

And how can I easily upgrade to the latest PRL? I am not interested in the Verizon PRL since I don't want to get kicked off for excessive roaming.

I searched some posts and the process seemed confusing and one talked of a different program that makes it easier but never went into details.

Would really appreciate some help. Thank you.

New PRL
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparksco:
Make a nandroid backup of your CM7 rom. Flash a stock sense rom like Synergy and update your prl and profile. Sometimes I do it twice just to make sure ;) Make sure you are updated to the latest radio's both wimax and cellular radio's before you update your prl though.

When you downgrade with root it's flashing older radio's onto your device including wimax radio.

Next restore cm7 nandroid backup, hope that helps.

Thanks guys. I did read that thread but I'm not sure what a Nandroid backup is.

Is that form the boot screen from the clockwork app? It just backs everything up to the SD card?

Now when I flash to the Synergy ROM do I have to follow the same steps I did for CM7? Like clear the caches and all those steps that I followed when I installed CM7?

Lastly, how can I make sure to update to the latest radio??

Thank you so much for your help guys, I was beginning to think that Sprint started to suck and that I Would have to switch carriers.

Also, I am having trouble figuring out which radio to flash. CDMA or Wimax? Is this something that I do when I reload synergy or flash after I load CM7 again?

But mostly I don't know which version to download. Thanks so much for your help in advance.

Im surprised there is no similar how-to on radios and PRL
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crump84:
You make a nandroid backup in recovery, it's the backup option in the backup/restore menu. It will make a complete backup of your current ROM and can be restored on the same menu.

Whenever you flash a fresh ROM you need to fully wipe. Wiping cache, dalvik and data.. Optionally formatting system and data.

For the radios check this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1082192
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparksco:
Yeah basicly what crump said. Just make sure before flashing the radio's in hboot/bootloader that you wipe cache/dalvik-cache in recovery or just do a data factory wipe. When I installed the radio's it was before a lot of knew that not wiping cache and dalvik-cache could make it so your phone won't boot, so I just ended up having to pull my sdcard out in order to boot into recovery to wipe. As soon as I wiped I powered off my phone, put my sdcard back in and it booted justed just fine.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johndoe12:
Thanks so much guys!

So I just checked the PRL on my phone and it is already the latest PRL... So it must be the older radios that are causing the issue?

So can I just flash the new radios right now with the current CM7 rom that I have?

Would I still need to clear the cache etc.. if it's possible to do it to my existing rom?

Also, do I select from Froyo-Based RUUs or Gingerbread RUUs?

Thanks again everyone

Did exactly that and it worked! Thanks soo much everyone, you guys are the best!
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparksco:
That's why I said both here and in the radio thread that I did a data factory reset before flashing the radios. It doesn't seem like wiping cache's always helps to avoid getting stuck on the splash screen, having to pull battery and sdcard ect.

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VICODAN:
Flashing radios will screw up your boot. Definitely need to wipe /system, and more importantly format /cache partition via advanced -> mounts and storage in CWM, as well as dalvik and reflash your rom after flashing either the Wimax or cellular radios. I've gotten stuck at the white HTC screen a billion times. Might even want to try booting up with a blank SD card or a different SD card. It seems that my SD card has some corruption because when I plug my phone in via usb or via sd card reader windows asks to scan the sd card. So I plan on formatting my SD card soon. But either way I was stuck at the white HTC screen after flashing my radio and tried everything and it didn't start booting my rom until I put in a blank SD card.
