Ihave NOT flashed any other ROM to the device after I rooted it. I have tried auto, galaxy nexus gsm, fascinate, and nexus one profiles. There are no other modifications to the device other tham the root. It is on 2.3.5
[Fascinate General] sendan:
The only thing I can think of at the moment is root privileges may not have been given. Did the application ask you for root access when turning on and off WiFi Tether?

Also there's an option in the app settings that allows you select a method other than softap...although I do not have the app installed ATM so I couldn't help you there. It's pretty easy to find though.

I suggest first verifying root access, and then fool around with all the settings while paying attention to the error log.
[Fascinate General] gtab55:
Here is a video...Everything on this was 100% default, as you can probably tell by my (re)installation of it. I probably won't have another attempt for a while, because it is my mom's phone and she left for a few hours.

[Fascinate General] sendan:
Based on that video you haven't tried everything suggested in this thread.
[Fascinate General] gtab55:
I know, but I wanted to show what was happening on a clearer note. I am still trying it, but did have some success last night. It worked flawlessly for about 10minutes straight and then i turned it off and it woudnt work. I have downloaded all of the versions and am trying it as I type.

I have seen a few roms on xda for the infuse that are for Rogers phones only here on xda? I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G that is originally a Rogers phone and I would like to flash/root it. My question is, could I have problems flashing the roms I find here because it is in fact a ''Rogers'' 4g?? Sorry if this is a noob question I just want to make sure before I go and flash it. :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
That depends, is your phone's model SGH-T959V?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GreyDark:
The model is SGH-1997R. So I think the answer would be no.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] neon_skunk:
Sweet Thanks guys. Im thinking its a 1997 as well because the camera is in the center rather than off to the side but I don't have the phone in hand right now to check. After having to teach Rogers tech support how to check the model number through the settings he was still unable to tell me which model it is they carry. Ill just check when I get the phone back. I wont touch it if its a SGH-T959V untill I read more into the difference on flashing these two phones.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpoleGs2:
Hey all,

i've read through many treads on how to do this but im getting confused as different threads say different things and there is info i think i am missing so i was wondering if you could help me as im noobing out and im confused as hell now. so basicly i have a stock standard Galaxy S2 with the Australian Vodafone ROM/OS/ whatever its called. Model is GT-I9100T running 2.3.5. so with all the info i have been reading the things that have confused me the most are

What version of kernel to use as there seem to be like 50 billion (may be exaggerating)

What is the "modem" that gets mentioned every so often and if i need it what one do i get?

How to use the Clockwork mod and how do i install it because i think the new ROM i want to install is the Cyanogen mod and it made me install a different root and the wiki for it was unclear when it came to the end of installing it

and then how do i install the Cyanogen Mod once i have done the rom.

i know there is a fair bit of info out there but all the threads i read are either incomplete or im just well....... yeah. Help would be amazing for this as the Vodafone OS is starting to annoy the hell out of me!

Thanks heaps!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
To root your phone, go to this thread & find the kernel that matches with the baseband details in settings/about phone. Flash this kernel in the PDA section of Odin (DL link also found in this thread).

This will also install CW Recovery on your phone.

No need to go changing modems unless you have problems with coverage/data and you're sure this isn't a Vodafone coverage/capacity issue in your area.

To install Cyanogen, refer to the thread devoted to it in the development section of the board. Follow any installation instructions to the letter (there's a hint right there).

Bottom line, if you're confused/scared/not confident about rooting your phone or flashing a custom rom/kernel, don't until you are confident about it. Whilst these processes are relatively simple if you follow the instructions, if you skip things and don't do your homework first (there are no shortcuts, read, read some more, and keep reading until your eyes bleed), you run the risk of soft bricking your shiny new toy at best (and having to live without it until you fix it), or hard bricking it at worst, resulting in you having to pay Samsung to fix it.

Every rom or kernel I've come across on here has had absolutely simple installation instructions normally in the first post of the thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpoleGs2:
THANKS! that makes a lot more sense nice and simple stopped the info overload! thanks heaps for the help!! <3 ill have a crack and see how this goes
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
NP ;-) Also, this thread is a good source of info for AU SGS2 users.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpoleGs2:
grr so using odin the way that the guide you linked said and downloading the kernal the way you and the guide said and following it I.E. booting odin and the connecting phone to the comp in download mode i get the line from odin "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)" and it wont show anything when i connect the phone yet when the phone is connected in normal mode it will show me some info in the ID:COm area, am i doing anything wrong? i tryed to post into the guide but i wont let me >.>
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
1) In settings/about phone what details do you have ?

2) Which kernel did you download from the CF Root thread ?

We'll go from there when you post this info.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpoleGs2:
ok sooo, baseband version is I9100TDUKJ1 thus following what i read i downloaded "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_LUX_KJ1-v5.0-CWM5" from the site
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
OK. Two ticks for that info.

So. You need to unzip the tar file from the zip you initially downloaded. Do not further unpack this. It must be the tar file you flash in Odin.

Fire up Odin. connect a USB cable to your phone, then plug it into a USB port. You must have 0:[port number] in the first panel in Odin directly under ID:COM on the left hand side in yellow. Keep trying different USB ports until you get this. This indicates Odin recognises your phone.

If it doesn't, you need to download Kies so you have drivers installed. If you do need to do this, make sure you kill Kies in task manager as Odin won't work with Kies running. We're only after the drivers.

On the other hand, if Odin recognises your phone as per the 2nd paragraph, click on PDA & navigate to where you have the unpacked CFRoot tar file & select it. From here, click on start & let Odin do it's thing. If it's successful it will show pass highlighted in green in that panel under ID:COM on the left hand side & the phone will reboot. Pull the USB cable & your phone should now be rooted.

To get rid of the yellow warning triangle when it boots, get a jig from eBay (search for Samsung Galaxy S2 jig or similar), they only cost a few bucks & can be handy if you ever need to return the phone for warranty service. There is another method in the CFRoot kernel thread to get rid of the triangle, but I prefer the jig.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpoleGs2:
ok so when i do this when its booted in normal mode it will appear in odin and be in the left box when i get it into download mode (start it holding vol down home) it wont show up in odin, does that mean im doing it wrong OR i am meant to do this in normal mode?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If you'd read the CFRoot thread you'd know the answer to this question.

6th instruction/bullet point - "Put your phone in download mode" :-/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpoleGs2:
yeah thats why im confused because when i do it in download mode it wont pick up the phone, does that mean im missing kies drivers? coz i can only get the phone to show up in odin when its in norm mode
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpoleGs2:
ok so removed then reinstalled the drivers and was able to pick it and the install worked =D woot
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
So you got pass in Odin and you get the yellow warning triangle when the phone boots ? To check you have root (you should have), get Root Check Basic from the Market if you want to be absolutely sure.

Also if you boot into recovery mode (volume up/home/power buttons held simultaneously when the phone is switched off), you should get CW Recovery.

If you install Ti backup or any other app that requires root, if these work then you can be sure the phone is rooted OK.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpoleGs2:
ok so did that and then was able to install the new ROM, it froze for a bit and i thought that i bricked it but it works and its soooo much faster! thanks for the help only thing now is to fix the yellow triangle on startup! THANKS SO MUCH!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
No worries ;) Get a jig to get rid of the triangle/reset the flash counter & you'll be set. If you find the jig doesn't work, you're using firmware with the new "locked" bootloader. If this happens, flash the old bootloader from this thread (there's a paragraph in bold red text about halfway down & a link to download it) in the PDA section of Odin & the jig should work.

So far as installing other roms/kernels go, as long as you follow the instructions to the letter (some require flashing the rom twice in a row without wiping like CM for example), you shouldn't have too many problems/shouldn't brick it.

First thing you should do now that you've rooted it/installed another rom is to make a Nandroid backup in CW Recovery, then you can get something like Titanium Pro & backup your apps & so on. Good practice is to make a Nandroid backup before your flash a new rom/kernel, that way if anything goes wrong, you can restore your previous setup in a matter of minutes with no harm done.

Also, get Hellcat's kTool from the Market & backup your EFS details ASAP. Keep a copy of on your external SD card (if you have one) and also keep a copy on your PC/external drive/or a CD/DVD/USB drive.These basically contain the IMEI of your phone & allow it to work with the network. Occasionally people find the EFS details get fried for various reasons and this can mean your phone no longer works with your network provider. Obviously if you have a backup and this happens, you can restore it.

First fix will take 3 minutes in open sky.

Use GPS TEST in open sky.

Please give your feedback on this thread . Thanks

If you Like Click Thanks ------>
[Defy General] adi4motion:
i'll try this on CM7 to see if the problem is solved...as the most problems are on CM7(not stock)
[Defy General] popcorn1122:
updated first post...
[Defy General] adi4motion:
i know that location.cfg was altered on cm7/miui hence learn_store.bin wasn't there anymore

i've changed gpsconfig.xml and location.cfg with stock ones and modified that line.

I'll test gps navigation and report how/if changed:)

edit: i rather go for an accurate psitioning than instant gps fix;)
[Defy General] Anachronizer:
Great work there..kudos man!! Is 40402 the proxy port no. for Airtel GPRS? I'm kinda lost on what to put for TATA Docomo as there aren't any port nos. in the settings..
[Defy General] popcorn1122:
Always try the experiments in open sky
[Defy General] popcorn1122:
Always use GPS & Location on
[Defy General] [] AL []:
I did all that. From your numbers -before reading your last post- I figured out that it was MCC/MNC #s; so mine is: China Mobile (46002)... --> the "(46002)" part is required isn't it?

After a few quick tests with Locus Pro, I can't really tell if anything is different. If I turn on wifi (agps) the lock is real quick, the reported accuracy is less then 10m, but in reality the position is always off by 50-150m...pretty much like before the tweaks.

But, like I already wrote on the cm7 thread before, gps is always not so accurate in dense urban areas filled with cellphone transmission towers, wifi access points, tall buildings and what not...

So I'll leave all this as it is now and keep monitoring.. hopefully, I'll be able to squeeze in a MTB ride sometimes soon...

Thanks for sharing all this anyway.. Cheers
[Defy General] adi4motion:
Is true that in dense urban areas gps is not so accurate but the annyoing thing is that on stock motorola rom the positioning was spot on...now not so good:-s i wonder why? we still use same (proprietary) files like in stock rom
[Defy General] Anachronizer:
I had a thought it might be MCC/MNC but still wanted to be sure. My MCC is 405 and MNC is 03..so mine should be TATA DOCOMO INTERNET (40503) since my apn is TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET. Hope it works. Thanks again.
[Defy General] hailmary:
so this fix is for stock roms only?
[Defy General] popcorn1122:
This fix is for any motorola defy using stock or CM7 or CM9 or ICS roms
[Defy General] abxd8989:
As a defy user, I also found that the gps is not working, after I have rooted it long time ago. I have just tried to fix it using the method provided, but after doing what you ask me to do, the matter gets worse! Originally a few satalittes could be searched when I ran the GPS test app, but now there is no satalitte that can be searched... the gps simply is out of service.. I am a Hong Kong resident. Could anyone kindly provide me with a way out? thanks!
[Defy General] ksprangers:
No improvement

Hey guys, thanks so much for the advice.

I'm on T-Mobile US, using CM7.1 jordan.

I updated the location.cfg file as you suggested. I did not originally have the Default line in it so I just added it. I deleted the files recommended and copy the gps.jordan.so file, calibrated compass and rebooted.

Is there anything I check to see that I did this right? Any info I can provide for someone to check my work? Thanks again.
[Defy General] pazd:
Does not work for me

followed all the steps by the second method, but still my phone reboot when i use GPS and WIFI :-(

[Defy General] popcorn1122:
Guys I have updated the first post with a new set of files for making Motorola Defy GPS work better. Please comment here if you find it better and if you have any suggestions.
[Defy General] starbright_:
Thanks for this research work! I am really happy, than someone cares about this. I am also suffered from the problem, that I can't get a fast fix, if the download of the latest AGPS data is 6hours or more ago.

So I exactly did what you suggested.

A few questions to that.

1) I found that my /data/location/gpscmd file is empty (0 byte) - is there something wrong in myy system?

2) The 2nd part of your lge.cert docu is not clear to me. How can I install lge.cert ? This is rwrwrw, not x. And even if it is executable I don't know how to execute it (using root browser)

3) about location.cfg: I remember that some time ago the moto-servers failed and there was are recommendation to exchange to google servers... But this might be obsolete now - this is just a hint.

4) the gps..jordan.so file has same size before. I didn't check it binary. Is this the same lib?

5) I don't understand why it is necessary to use the setting/location/use wireless networks. I don't like the idea to involve google here - and this is only helpful, if I am online.

Now my observations (short term).

Initial start with wifi on (to download AGPS data):

My impression is, that time to fix is longer and numbers of sats are smaller than before. Might this have to deal with some initial setting which is for you maybe ASIA but has for me to be Europe?

After 2h the fix was quite fast (40s). it behaves a bit different than before. Originally I have a few sats fast, but to fix them takes some time. Currently in the first 20s nothing is to see, but than the fix is rather fast.

Thanks and best regards!

PS:

Do you know this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24014309&postcount=1) with downloading and usage of an lto file? Is this used in your approach too?
[Defy General] mihovil13:
Does it work in ICS roms?
[Defy General] popcorn1122:
Thank you :)

This file is empty as it is a Pipe File.

Just tap it from any file managet to install it. Also copy it in /system/etc/cert folder with rwrwrw permissions

This location will use motorola servers as default. If they fail, they will use google servers as backup

This .so file is from Motorola Defy Plus stock rom. As the hardware is same, we can use it.

Wireless network are part of aGPS as the cell towers also provide the location info if your carrier has made proper settings on cell towers based on its location.

I have edited the gpsconfig.xml file for faster response with all testing parameters removed.

Thanks and best regards!

The lto file is never used by motorola defy. But that file is downloaded and converted into LEARN_STORE.BIN in /data/location

Thank you for your feedback... gpsconfig.xml is updated in first post :)

The ephemeris data will update every 4 hours
[Defy General] popcorn1122:
Yes you can try it in ICS roms...

I tried it out and didn't like it. Every time I opened it out would show both cpu's maxed out. Also I could never get the settings to stick no matter what boot settings I tried. That's just my experience. Some people swear by it tho. I say if CPU master is working for you then stick with it.

The top part of my Atrix would not fully respond to touch, and so I ordered a replacement digitizer for it. I installed the digitizer today and instead of the problem being fixed, the area of non responsiveness has increased, the 1 inch or so below the initial deadspot is also not responding. Also, the proximity sensor fails to turn off when I'm in a call and the phone is not near my face. What other hardware problem could it be that's causing the dead spot on my touchscreen and how to fix it?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackKnight12:
Oh man,

The problem is the boot loader is unlocked and I did go and replace the digitizer myself, so I'm pretty sure the warranty is voided. Any solutions or am I dead in the water?
