[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:
well this file has been on my sd card since I first flashed thunderhawk so it should work but it is a possibility..

Ill try again

But ei22 roms do work on el30 right??
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
If you're talking about the modem then yes they defenitely do... if you're talking the kernel then I wouldn't have a clue... never tried to mix and match a kernel and rom...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:
No not that

I'm on official el30 2.3.6 stock

Can I flash thunderhawk 3.3 ??? Should it work or no?

That's what I'm trying to figure out
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Yes... but you won't be on 2.3.6 anymore... and thunderhawk will contain the ei22 kernel also... so yes that will work...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:
Ok then ill download it again and flash it cuz I tried it and it wouldn't boot up I thought it doesn't work at all

And ei22 kernals also work on el30 correct?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
From what I've read yes the ei22 kernels do run el30... haven't tried it though so I can't confirm nor deny...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yeah but once you do that and install your ROM, you are completely EI22 again except for the modem. For that you can restore your backup and just flash the modem delta.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:
That's what I was just thinkingggg

Cuz that's what I'm running noww cuz when I restored my backup it workedd but I still had el30 modem

So I guess ill just stay like this since this is what I was gonna do until someone makes a el30 rom

Btw my phone just asked me to update to el30 lol I already have the modem and my system updates is frozen

I put later and it hasn't shown up again yet lol
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
When it does just let it install. When it fails just pull the battery and boot. No more notifications (thanks Flastnoles11).
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
It will eventually... just let it try to install and when it fails pull the battery and reboot...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:
Well it hasn't showed up again all day so I'm not worried about it for now

Thanks a lot for you guys' help
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HWOW:
The phone has been having problems receiving data and I need to update it to the latest modem but it seems to fail if I update to ei22. Its currently on froyo. How should I approach this problem?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Re odin it...

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HWOW:
OK then. How to I upgrade from rooted froyo to gingerbread.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
It will prompt you to install it... after a while unless your on wifi then it will be faster..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Why does your sig say Nexus? If on Epic just flash a custom GB ROM and grab the modem flashables from the sticky about modems in the top of Development.

No luck with filefactory, trying to download latest TMOUS RUU 1.50 so I can unroot my phone. Does anyone have a direct download link, or can please share a copy with me.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itschemistry:
I have a Nightmare problem.

The phone does not shut down. When i try to shut it down it turns back on after 2 seconds.

The phone storage wont mount ( debugging enabled ) it only charges when connected to the computer.

The phone will only shut down if you shut it down while its connected to the charger.

If debugging is off connecting the phone to the computer shows " MTP connected " but it will not show up in the computer.( or connect to kies )

The phone randomly beeps as if the charger is pluged in/out.

Occasionally the phone shows a yellow triangle with a flashing battery on startup.

The battery information/health/status shows " Overvoltage "

What iv tried:

Different roms stock custom

Root/unroot

A new battery

A new cable

Leaving the phone off over night with battery out ( seems to fix the problem for 5 mins or so lol)

Cleaning the USB port

Help Help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suarez7:
do not know if this would work or not but worth giving it a try. first download a rom. then once you download it go into recovery. wipe everything and i mean everything. wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and then go into mounts and storage and then format system. flash the rom and see if it happens again. if it does my option then would to send it to samsung and see if they can do anything for you or your telephone company you are under contract with to see if they can do anything to help...

try my guide first though...let me know how you get on..oh by the way..backup before you flash a rom again
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueseeker:
Already discussed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1216163

Try to clean your USB charging port (again), it's hardware related! The ultimate solution is to change the USB charging port.

If you spilled something on it, your warranty is gone, so you can change it yourself. The part cost is approximately 25$

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idan73:
What he said ^ :-D :-D

Sometime it fixes itself but really the only sure way is to replace hardware either warranty or by yourself.

If you're gonna fix yourself take extra care with power and volume buttons on the motherboard as too many noobs rip those off and impossible to fix and motherboard is basically your phone.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djnoicatse:
There's a problem with the charging port. Happened to a friend of mine and all I did was gently moved the middle metal piece inside the charging port either up/down till the problem was gone. I used a small flat head screwdriver.

If you decide to do this you MUST do this carefully and gentle.

I am not responsible for any damages to your phone.

Hope this helps
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
Yes, this certainly sounds like an issue with the charging port. Please take it in to the service center if you are not sure how to proceed further without damaging your device.
[Android General] smokedkill:
Is it just me, or does it seem that the fragmentation of android has finally cost the android rom development community. Many phones have very little development while many developers are jumping ship the first chance they get to move to something like the Samsung nexus. This leaves many android users with limited options and the ability to see what this proud community can do.

There are phones out here that have unlocked bootloaders but yet they still receive very little development. I dont understand that as I've seen a lot of developers complain about locked bootloaders but yet when they move on to a new phone, they don't support some of the phones with an unlocked bootloader.

I understand as more androids hit the market that it will dilute rom development some, but it's grown into something similar to certain phones have developers gathering to them the way apple fanboys gather to iPhone. I'm disappointed in that as I always thought of android as being the anti apple.
[Android General] flatlander:
Care to give some examples? We're still seeing ROM releases for the G1, even.
[Android General] smokedkill:
The LG revolution is one example. Unlocked bootloader and not too much development.
[Android General] zelendel:
Guys please understand that this site was built in the believe that if you wanted something for your device then dig in and make it. Only developer you can relay on is the one on the other end of your keyboard.

The knowledge is out there. Don't relay on someone else do make something for your device. That will only lead to disappointment.

How do you think most of us got started?
[Android General] Dirk:
People are only going to develop for devices they own, which means devices that they like and more often than not they are the same devices which are most popular over-all.

If dev support is what you want then choosing the device with the most support should be part of your decision making process when buying a new phone. If you buy one with little support it's on you!
[Android General] fr3quency:
lol idiots and android fragmentation. Stop speaking of it. Some ****er said something about android fragmentation and the noobs are talking about that without reading any articles, without searching themselves etc etc. There's no such thing. And just because the app drawer icon and the notification bar are placed in different placed on Tablets, doesn't mean the platform is fragmented.
[Android General] Middle East Guy:
Personally I would love to learn how to do something like porting my own roms onto devices, but of course I would have to be a skilled programmer. Just as a general question, how hard is it to create your own rom for a new device? Do have to do a lot of coding from scratch, or do you just sorta copy and paste a lot of stuff already out there?
[Android General] VaKo:
I'd also like to know this. What would it take to port something like CM9 (something where the majority of the actually ROM is made by proper devs), and port it to something like the Razr dev edition (a device I know won't get any love from the community but should actually be relatively easy to develop on)? What would someone with zero coding experience actually be able to do if they had the phone, the sdk and access to CM's GitHub?
[Android General] weedy2887:
You would most likely start with CM7 and use your stock roms kernel, replacing the userland. By far the hardest part about doing a port is getting a kernel, once you have a kernel that boots the rest is mostly tweaking build props.
[Android General] mcord11758:
Simple solution. If development is that important to you, check out the forum for the device before purchase. And actually support the devs for your device.
[Android General] ChaZnsc:
I believe CNET coined this in regards to Android. I saw an interview with one of the CNET "yackers" and Androids big cheese.
[Android General] adverbius:
I certainly agree that "fragmentation" is used too often as a buzz-word to show the instability of Android OS. This use is really misleading. IMO fragmentation does exist in the Android OS, though, in that there are still iterations of Donut and Eclair in usable devices alongside Froyo, GB and the newer, each having it's own device/manufacturer -specific user interface as well.

Seems to me that they all do pretty much the same thing, tho. The Android core (Linux-based, right?) is the software foundation that allows the hardware drivers to work together to do the same thing device to device: make phone calls, access the internet, and play games. (Ok ... run apps)

Since the aOS core is fairly similar across devices, the bigger "fragmentation" comes from the hardware. As hardware changes, the driver support changes as well, and may become obsolete, therefore negating any upgrade options. So, if your device used a video chip from some Asian company that was destroyed in a typhoon, for example, you might never see another driver made, and also never see an upgrade to the next letter of Android.

Fits with what others have said: If you want to upgrade the OS later, either choose a very popular device, or at least one with very common parts.

Even then, there's no guarantee.
[Android General] sotoskawasaki:
I was an iOS user for 3 years. I hacked the hell out of it. Now its been over a month I am a Galaxy Nexus user and I hack the hell out of it too, (still learning tho...) and I love it. Having said that, and having deep knowledge of both platforms, I DO believe that there is fragmentation in the Android platform.

The next step, is each one of us to think for himself what does he mean exactly by saying fragmentation. After we establish a common base, so that we all speak the same language we can continue.

My opinion is that not only there is fragmentation, but it comes in different fields. There is fragmentation in the Android versions still used, there is fragmentation in the UI,there is fragmentation in hardware, software and pretty much everywhere. Why today there are so many versions of Android apps that are still not compatible with ICS. Lazy developers? I dont know. What I do know is that if I was in iOS most of the Apps would got updated before the next version got released...

Anyway I really do not want to start a flame war. I absolutely love my Galaxy Nexus and I will continue to hack it. I also love Android 4.0. But saying whats wrong with what we like is the only way it will get better. By denying it it will only get worse. Is there a possibility I am wrong? Of course. But nevertheless, this is my opinion and I am expressing it.
[Android General] alex2792:
My biggest gripe with Android is the inconsistency with the UI,which really degrades the experience compared to iOS. Since Google has no review process for apps I find that most Android apps are ugly compared to iOS and since the developers aren't forced to adhere to any UI guidelines there's zero consistency across the board. IMO Google really needs to be a little more evil when it comes to Android otherwise they will be in big trouble once WP7/8 gain traction,which is just a matter of time. I've used every mobile OS out there and to me Android has by far the worst user experience due to inconsistent performance,abysmal battery life and the aforementioned UI inconsistencies.
[Android General] Fire n mage:
Fragmentation is exsistent. My little brother bought the LG Marquee as I told him, since the specs are similar to my galaxy S Epic 4G. Despite that, the release hasn't brought much attention since it wasn't well advertised and it paled in comparison to the Epic 4G touch being released. Even apps are fragmented, not over android version I.e. froYo, gingerbread. But over the phones themselves, since the LG marquee has a different GPU than my phone, many 3d games are similar incompatible, despite it being run by a 1ghz processor. And yes the resolution on both phones is the same. It's the only thing I don't like about android, apps take forever to update to support all platforms of hardware and software, while iOS is all the same across the board making updates faster and easier.
[Android General] qwerty warrior:
i thought this was common sense

when i wanted to buy a new android i wanted a phone that had a big following in the community

first was the nexus line

then HTC

then samsung

i went with Samsung since it was the smoothest one out there

and then it became the the most popular phone on XDA
[Android General] jordanishere:
Word. Fragmentation isn't the problem... the problem is that every device needs a rom tailored specifically to it, and installing the wrong rom can brick your phone.
[Android General] m4570d0n:
Skyrocket.

Sure, there are a few ROMs/devs there (seanzscreams is a phenomenal guy). Cyanogenmod? Nothing. MIUI? Nothing. ICS? Nothing. Any word on any of these being available on the Skyrocket? No, with the exception that Samsung will provide and ICS kernel for the Skyrocket eventually. Will there be any ICS ROMs developed for the Skyrocket then? Who knows.
[Android General] snx928:
Isn't that basically supporting the notion that Android is "fragmented" on some level, in some area? That you need to custom tailor roms individually to meet the needs of each device (due to drivers, hardware, whatever) under the encompassing umbrella that is Android. Is that not a form of fragmentation? Maybe one that doesn't bother you at all, which is understandable, but has certainly ruffled the feathers of other users?

Aside from that I agree with other elements of fragmentation that members have posted about here sso far. Frag in UI is one that particularly irks me the most.
[Android General] MikeyMike01:
How can people say fragmentation is not a problem? Or worse, that it doesn't exist?

I suppose this is why Google is allowed to continue this charade of an open OS.

[Android General] alex2792:
Blind fanboys I guess. I like how everyone the subject is brought up Android fans always jump in with a comment like "Just root your phone and load a custom rom!" as if an average user will ever jump through such hoops. Google needs to do something about it ASAP before WP8 is out. Once Microsoft unifies W8 with the phone platform Android will be in deep doo doo. They already lost the tablet market by making honeycomb such an unfinished POS and with W8 running on ARM chips they will be squeeze out of the market by Apple and MS.
[Android General] hungry81:
Rooting and flashing roms are extra options if you want to do it. Stock android works quite well on many devices, and it is more stable than ios. Your other choices are WP7 which is not very popular and minimal developer support, BB which is dying, and ios in which an intentially broken and restricted phone is released with a excessive brand tax, ignores and pretends nothing ever goes wrong by getting its followers to troll everyone else by telling them that "it just works."
[Android General] jdd1777:
Find a phone you are interested in. Look on xda. If there Is development you like, buy the phone. If not, move on. Ebay has good deals. If the phone you want has unlocked bootloader you can find a thread here on xda that usually has basically a copy and paste method to put almost any rom worth using to any phone. Minimal skills required.
[Android General] MissionImprobable:
Just have to say to all those complaining that Roms aren't available on your device: there are at least TWO devs on this site who have made tools with full tutorials to port pretty much ANY Rom to ANY device. This is a dev site, so if it's not available for you as someone said on the first page get dirty and port it yourself.

There are some issues with fragmentation, but the inability to get pretty much any Rom for any phone is not really one of them

Secondly, Romming/Rooting voids your warranty anyway and I don't recall any manufacturers promising that all their devices would be capable of doing this easily. If you want a phone with good development, wait and see what people are responding to and working on and then buy your device. If you buy something as soon as it drops and nothing comes of it, that's on you, not on Google, not on the manufacturers, not on the devs. Just because something doesn't have a locked bootloader DOES NOT mean it's going to get any love.

The only complaint that I do have is that manufacturers feed us b.s. about not continuing to update devices because they are "not capable" of running the newest version of Android, an out and out lie in many cases. That is not a result of fragmentation, it's a result of greed and laziness.

Fragmentation itself's only real issue: people buying phones with a lack of understanding of the devices capabilities to begin with. Buy a crap phone, you're going to be limited as to what it can do. People want smartphones and some want them at budget prices but are then surprised when it performs like a budget device. Sorry, but your Kia isn't going to hang with an Audi or Vette.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] davwman:
Thinking about buying a new og droid from amazon. Im downgrading from my Bionic as its bootloader locked and can't stand not having soap. I've had the DROID incredible and battery was horrible no matter what I did, had the fascinate, charge, and now am looking to stick to my android roots until my upgrade in november. So should I do it?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] hazard666:
Honestly, I was thinking about doing it myself a while back. Don't know about the new ones but the OG Droid as I remember was very responsive to overclocking and ran great. I loved mine. Thing felt like a tank. Only thing to consider is CM will be dropping support for the OG Droid with CM9. Droids are dirt cheap and if you're good with fixing gadgets, you can get one with a broken digitizer for next to nothing.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] universal_cynic:
I just recently fullfilled my 2 yr contract and was looking at new phones, but decided to try rooting and using a custom ROM on my OG Droid to get back some speed and functionality. I am no longer planning to fork over $ for a new phone :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] podspi:
They're cheap, so the risk is minimal, but imho it is a painful experience running anything higher than Froyo/CM6 on the OG Droid. I know people swear by CM7 (and various scripts like V6, etc), but I have never gotten CM7 or any other GB ROM running smoothly for me.

The problem isn't the speed (I have mine OCed to 1.2ghz), its the memory. 256mb just isn't enough anymore.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] davwman:
so cm6 is the way to go? I have no problem with that. Whats the better setup with cm6 as far as kernel matching with cm6? Would like to hear some setups from anyone using the old school og droid.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] KJW979:
Currntly running PE6. 5 on my og droid with the stock kernel which is 1.05Ghz lv. Have used the V6 scripts in past with so so results, am currently using Juwe's Ram Manager with pretty successful results.
