I am new to this, when I was running the steps in the effen-manuals which is in aahk-11012012.zip was already finished with the rom rcmix.energized .everything was fine except that Idid not have tmobile sim card no service.( no signal). I plugged it again and opened the hack-ace and started running and stopped. not finished..now my phone will not boot, no nothing..only when tuened on , htc logo appears then lower the intensity to get screen dim..I CAN SAVE MY PHONE ? please help me . thanks and forgive my bad english.:o
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
I'm not taking a shot at your english but from the sounds of it you rooted, you had a custom ROM installed? and then you put in your sim and re-ran the hack kit? I'm not 100% sure what you actually did but if the hack kit ran and you were rooted and using the rcmix rom, running the hack kit again is explicitly stated not a good idea and will jam you up. If you did this, consult the IRC chat room in the OP of the Hack Kit Thread, I'm sure attn1 and those guys have seen this situation before.
[HTC Inspire 4G] elcocorote518:
Ido not know how to enter IRC chat.. I tried it and not let me write anything

My friend, if you cannot enter an IRC chatroom, rooting your phone and installing ROMs may be a little out of your league then. I just clicked the link, typed in any username I want,typed the verification code in and I was able to enter the chatroom and type.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
Can you get to hboot by powering up holding volume down and power button at the same time. Ifso see if it is s-off? If so you might be able to enter rocovery this way and flash a rom.

Usually when I have an issue with a rom or phone I flash the stock rooted att rom (pd98 zip) and start over with changing the rom. Sorry I can't give you the zip file I'm on the road all day today but if you search q&a section you will find it.

Hope it helps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
what it sounds like this user did was ran the hack kit and rooted fine (assumption), the mention of the RCmix ROM makes me believe he installed the ROM and then realized the SIM card wasn't in, so for some reason he/she ran the hack kit again? which if you read the OP of the hack kit, Attn1 explicitly states don't do that or you will get jammed up. I'm assuming Attn1 can fix this quickly since I imagine this issue has happened on more then one occasions and he'll be a better resource to fix this rather then us trying to troubleshoot this from the trial and error side. But if this user cannot get into the IRC chatroom, there isn't much more any of us can do. :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:

[HTC Inspire 4G] sharksfan7:
There's a thread at the top of the Inspire General forum that explains exactly how to fix this. It's been there for a month. Do your research and you'll find the answers you need.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
If the rooting process worked correctly.

Here is the rooted updated ATT Gingerbread ROM. Just place PD98 in root of SD card then go into bootloader and let it do its thing. When it ask to install volume up for yes. AS ADVICED " RESEARCH"

Place it in the root of your SD card (you will have to remove SD card and use adapter to move zip file to root of SD card if PC does not recognize phone with USB cable) and power phone off then power back up holding down power button and volume down button at same time. Phone should go to bootloader then it will recognize the PD98 zip file and ask if you want to istall. Volume up for yes and it will do its thing. No need to try to get into recover phone will do it itself with the PD98 zip file. Zip is (ATT ROM 2.47.502.7 w/Radio - 26.10.04.03_M)

This is for Rooted Stck ROM

http://www.fileserve.com/file/RtVn4Re/PD98IMG.zip

NO NEED TO RENAME JUST DOWNLOAD AND PLACE IN ROOT OF SD

Hope it helps

PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT ANYTHING ON YOUR PHONE IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING.

Then you can flash a custom ROM if you like.

either way, never really understood why some users post information to a dead thread that has been covered? Then again, I contribute to the problem by bringing it up. Then again you also contribute to the problem by calling me out. I'll yield to seniority though. Google is a great tool.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Because, if peeps are searching like they should, the thread is not really dead. It should still be getting views and if anyone has anything to add, they should do so. Provided the thread is not real old that info is obsolete and what they add is constructive.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
I understand that if you search you'll get old threads and its within your right as a user to post to that thread, no matter how old or dead the thread is. My comment was geared at the fact that users, and apparently this one isn't trying to get that post count up and for that I apologize (forgot about the grandfather rule), come in and just post information that is not needed especially after the thread has been inactive for a while. This thread had a question, it was answered and the OP hasn't been back which I can only assume meant the OP either resolved his issue or gave up. I don't see how comments 3 weeks after the last constructive post like "research dude, google is your friend" is considered constructive given the context of the thread. I apologize to Davey, I understand you were trying to help and that's appreciated!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fit4ugolf:
So now that HTC has released on the HTC Dev site, the Droid Inc. What is the best/easiest way to root?

Option A) Downgrade and root

Option B) Use HTC Dev tool to unlock the bootloader and flash SU.zip. After that then flash CWM and then whatever ROM I want to run.

Is Option B even a viable option?

My DInc is rooted with CM7, however, my wife's has 2.3.4 stock. She wants to try Miui. I don't mind doing the downgrade and root but if using the approved HTC Dev tool is working, why not?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
From what i have heard the HTC unlock method is not true s-off. In fact when you look in hboot it still says s-on but above that it says unlocked. From what i have been told you cant flash boot images thru hboot, and it also updates your hboot version making some flashables not work anymore. I would go with the downgrade method and then use unrevoked to get true s-off. I think it will be less hassle and you will be happier in the end. Not to many people are working on things for this phone anymore meaning allot of stuff will probably never get updated to work with the new hboot.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1tommy:

I went the way of Option B the other day, and I still have S-On. As of now I am rooted & running CM7.

1 - i have downloaded official stock rom from samsung galaxy s2 (Netherlands)

and the official kernal for that version.

2 - I have used odin first at the PDA field i putted in the kernal and flashed it.

3 - I have used odin second at the field PDA and flashed the firmware

4 - It rebooted after completed.

However it keeps rebooting after the SG2 Splash screen. Are there any fixes for this? Or got any tips/hints?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattyh77:
Never used VillianROM. Every ROM is different and is a personal choice. No one can tell you what you will like.

You can still get ICS when an official one comes out, just use Odin to install it. I'm sure as soon as a stable, official one come out, it will be on this site.

Yes this will work for UK orange also. Instead of flashing the ROM from Intratech's STOCK ROM thread. Flash the carrier branded ROM for your region/carrier from Intratech carrier branded ROM section:

---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

Most of the ROMs are good.It more depends upon one personal choice. A ROM which is good for me may not be to your personal liking. You will have a good user experience depending upon the combination of :

1. ROM / PDA : Base version of the firmware

2. Kernel : it is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. Most of the Custom ROMS come with their own kernal

3. Modem/Phone/Baseband/Radio : effects Internet connectivity/ signals etc

5. CSC : CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.

Best way yo find out ROMS is to try them yourself. Popular ROMS I have seen are

1. SAMMY : Hyperdroid ROM,CheckROM, Batista,VillianROM etc

2.ASOP : Cynanogen,MIUI

All the best :-)

Hope this helps!

[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
You know people shou.....wait that is actually a useful post...lol. Nice!
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
I feel like Shadow is the replacement for Twilight and Samurai is more like Genocide. Then the Roms are very similar to their 2.2 counterparts, mainly due to dev mindset. I think Legendary goes for a similar feel to SRF and if you put LauncherPRo on the experience is ideal. The switch to MTD was like the move from bml to EXT4. It's all history repeating itself.
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:

I just flashed kabaldans Cyanogenmod 7.1.4 coming from 7.1.1. Like I've done many times, changed baseband to "Venezuela - Mobilnet" in OR, updated google apps and everything.

But now my phone says "Emergency calls only", when I check the network operators option it only shows one of the three operators in my country, and the one that my phone is registered to does not show up. Ive tried reflashing the baseband 5 times but the result is the same, still can't connect to the network for calls, much less data.

EDIT: I flashed 7.1.1 and the network works just fine..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] znetroll:
if you've tried setting Baseband, why don't you go ahead and file a bug at http :// code.google.com /p/cyanogenmod4milestone/issues (sorry, new user, can't post links...) so kabaldan/nadlabak can fix it?

I would definitely try reflashing to the newest and using openrecovery to flash the baseband onto it. I can't imagine that would have been a broken feature.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naguz:
Hi,

I'm currently charging my new SGS II, and considering what to do with it when I power it of. I have had a lot of cutom roms and mods on my HTC Desire previously Now, I know I don't want an AOSP ROM right away, I want to try out the phone how way it was "meant to be".

But I want the bells and whistles also though, like root, and any other stuff that makes the phone better, and I assume some of you here has some suggestions. I read through a decent amount of threads yesterday but I don't have a firm grasp of everything.

1: Is it much to gain from switching to a custom kernel battery-wise or performance wise? Or should I just run "stock" with zergRush?

2: Are there any cooked ROM base on Samsung softwae that exceed the stock ROMs in usefull functionality, while still being perfectly stable? Or are the stock rom great/good on it's own?

3: What kind of backups should I make before I start, to be as sure as possible of avoiding a certain brick? I run linux, so I can't run Odin, but I can run Heimdall and I guess I can make pretty much the same backups from there. As far as I have gathered, the S II have a few special quirks regarding partitions and some other low-level info. Is installing CWM and then do a backup "good enough" or is there something else that should be done - or should it be done before I even install CWM?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demondor:
To answer your questions:

1. Yes custom kernels do make a difference- performance and battery wise. Currently, in my opinion, siyah and speedmod are two of the better kernels out there. Also the different governors in the kernels help you decided what balance between performance and battery life you want.

This thread explains everything about governors- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1369817&highlight=simple+clean

2. As good Sammy Roms go, I'd recommend you try CheckRom & Hyperdoid. Other Roms I'd recommend if you're looking for stability are Simple & Clean and Cognition. MIUI is good too(I'm currently on it) and quite stable.

3. If you don't have CWM recovery and have root, use Titanium backup to backup all your apps and MyBackup Root to backup the rest of the misc data. If and when you do have CWM recovery, just make a nandroid backup so you can freely try out new roms and restore through nandroid if anything happens.

If there's anything I've missed lemme know :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naguz:
I simply installed CF Root which include CWM, and made a backup from there. (Which I then move to the external sd card, where I believe it should be en the first place. Not much help having a backup on internal storage if you mess up your artitions/nand. :P

It gives me a great chance to try the phone pretty stock for a while. Although I'm very little impressed by the Samsung "extras" so far, which seems to be limited to a few not-so-useful apps and a pretty crappy launcher. Samsung dive is the only thin with any value that I have discovered so far.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Its full of guides.

Also backup your EFS with ktool from the market asap.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l7ani:
I prefer speedmod Kernel

I did backup from CWM and take a copy to my laptop
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
Personally... like you I wanted to see the phone how it is made - at first

I then zerg rushed my phone simply to gain root - REALLY SIMPLE

If your still using touchwiz.... i recommend appzorter (basically organises apps)

You can chose go launcher etc if you prefer more customisation!

Then after two weeks a developer who's work I previously used for my desire came back to xda... his work was always great on desire... so i fully rooted with ODIN

yet again it was really easy, follow the guides to a t and your set!

I popped his rom on (in my sig) and never looked back since!

If you do decide to go down the custom rom route, start with a 2.3.6 build instead of trying ICS 4.0 etc... stick to solid and STABLE builds until you have more knowledge! ;)

Due to a comment made about the .apk by KezraPlanes, who built the ROM I'm using, I'm sure that the installer can be obtained and will probably be installed using RzRecovery, I only asked on this thread to help the OP and myself get an answer.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TuxBrothers:
Don't get me wrong i'm only trying to give you the correct answer ;-)

If apps not are in the ROM where they should be normally you have to flash them in the operating disc.

Another solution would be to copy the right files into the operating system.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tievolu:
You can't install the apk like you can with a user-level app, because this is a system app.

You need to copy the .apk (and the associated .odex file if there is one) directly to /system/app. To that you need to be root, and you need a root-capable file explorer which can re-mount the system partition as writeable. ES File Explorer on the market works fine - check the settings to re-mount the partition as writeable, then copy the file(s) to where they need to be

I believe you can also push the file into /system/app using adb, but that's probably more complicated and risky than using a file explorer on your device.
