[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emilio81:
I recently installed WanamLite V7.7 XXLP6 Android 4.0.3 Final LP6 on my phone, but the signal was awful, so i tried to install [KERNEL] SpeedMod SGS2 [K2-20 CWM5 CIFS ROOT], hoping that it would fix my problems with the signal.

After that, the phone is permanetly stuck on the Samsung logo and won't go any further. I tried to re-flash the ROM but the problem is still there.

After that I've tried to fix the problem by following instructions on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1108499, but still nothing.

Can someone please help me to fix this problem?

Thanks for your time

I think that you need to do a restore or to flash a gingerbread rom before the ics one... Speedmod is not for ics roms...

You said you followed pulsar's "boot loop" thread... so does that mean you cleared cache, wiped data, factory reset, all that?

Also, a future FYI. Kernels will never address your problems with phone signal. Flashing modems will, but kernels, never.

However, they might affect wi-fi signal, as some kernels have wi-fi drivers included.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emilio81:
Thanks for your responses. I';ve managed to fix my problem by flashing a gingerbread rom. After that i had major signal issues. I've flashed the main modem for my S2 (ki4) but i'm still facing the same issues. Any ideas how to fix the signal problem?

Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .

Or have just not a clue what they installed .

Backup data first if phone is working .

Boot CWM recovery

Mounts and Storage

Format cache data system sd card .

Remove battery

Boot to download mode

Open Odin

Install correct stock firmware .

Try different modems until you find one that works well for you. That's what I and many other people on here have done. This is one thread with CW flashable modems (there are others, search), there are other threads on here (search) with Odin flashable modems if you prefer to use that.

i tried many... right now i'm using XLP6 which shows -93dBm but still when i'm on the phone, 90% the connection is lost and the phone hangs up
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] union1mc:
I've found that how well a modem works for you depends on where you live and service provider. For me, in Germany on T-mobile I've found XXKI3 to have the best results (with CM7)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
I would be trying the modem that came with the phone .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RorixRebel:
im also running wanamlite 7.7 but with the LP6 kernel...and indeed the kernel has nothing to do with signal levels

i did change the modem to XXKPA and the battery, signal has improved a lot so im sticking with it, my phone originally came with KK1 which kinda sucked even with stock rom

so follow the link they gave you and try the modem untill you find one that suits your needs

by the way, before flashing stuff you should read what is made for what rom so you can avoid bricks/bootloops

I know car pc's have software so you could just put a screen up front and it displays a fully customizable headunit on the screen. Just wondering if anything like that has ever been made or discussed for Android?

With how powerful these tablets are getting, don't see why something like that wouldn't work. Use a tablet as a headunit/car-pc, I'd like that!
[Android Head-Units] BDR456:
This kinda what I'm talking about. This is the whole indash unit. I'm just talkin the software that runs it. Why couldn't it be packaged into an app.

http://www.cartft.com/catalog/il/770
[Android Head-Units] brandogg:
It could. You could also just put a bunch of widgets on your screen with a nice wallpaper and get a similar effect. You just need a way of mounting the Xoom...shouldn't be *too* hard to make something that looks decent. If you have steering wheel controls then you don't have to worry about blocking your factory stereo, should you decide to leave it in.
[Android Head-Units] s8int117:
Man, i can see it now, the window replacement indutry would thrive with an Android-powered-indash-tablet-multimedia/gps/wifi-hotspot unit stereo. I would be the first to buy one. Think it up, it can happen.

Hell if a two-bit company can take psp-fat and throw in froyo, then why not an ice-cream sandwich indash.
[Android Head-Units] BDR456:
Guess there just isn't much interest for something like this around here.
[Android Head-Units] joshndroid:
You have some problems with good connections plus the size of 10 inch tab is a bit odd.. Firstly, you would need a 7 inch tab, then you would need a custom build with fiberglass outer shell to hold ya tab in place not forgetting the port for headphone jack needs to be easily accessible.. You would need atleast 2 amps one for speakers and 1 for subs as the headphone port would not drive 4 speakers etc.. You need a headphone splitter.. Then a headphone to rca splitter.. Would also need to wire ya amps to the battery as there is no remote wire and attach this to a couple of switces to turn the amps off.. Now what to do with fm radio as you have taken the headphine port already...

As you can see this becomes a hassle

Easier way would be to get a headunit and mount that in your glovebox.. Then mount ya tablet into wjere the headunit. Should be then import the tab into the headunit in the glovebox.. So costs are down, functionality is there as tab has gps, etc and internet from phone tether if not a 3g device and it looks like u have a tab as your main unit lol

[Android Head-Units] brandogg:
I like my idea. As long as you have steering wheel controls, you can put the Xoom right in front of your head unit. I have a Mazda 3 with a gigantic head unit, I've held the Xoom in place over top trying to think of ways to mount it, but space is not an issue. My Thunderbolt dock is right above it, so it's in a good spot for WiFi tethering. I might actually have to build a mount someday...in my wife's Pathfinder I can mount the HDMI dock right in the middle of the dash, but I wouldn't trust it to hold the Xoom in place, I would need some kind of lock. It blocks the windshield a tad, but it looks awesome!
[Android Head-Units] BDR456:
A basic headunit is needed for supplying signal to the amplifiers. I guess I'm just interested in someone making an app of sorts to simulate a headunit. The mount I can make something like what these guys made.

[Android Head-Units] joshndroid:
You dont necessarily need a headunit as i explained in my post it can be done... The output from a headunit to a amp is very similar to stereo headphone output.. You would need good quality amps to adjust frequency and other aspects to get decent sound.. Possibly a signal noise remover as well but i digress as i actually agree with you as yes i would always go a hidden head unit save a ton of time and frustration and i could do more of it myself meaning less money... I was going to do this in my ute but i ended up grabbing a chinese 7 inch display that slotted straight in for $300.. Has good functionality but doesnt look as mint as a tablet injection lol... Purchasing a newer car soon so all my good plans have been shelved for a couple years in place of cheap ideas that will get me by until i have enough cash for a better ride..

I would suggest tho knocking up a mounting piece for a tablet with thin chipboard very thin for the front edge and thicker around sides etc to hold the tab.. Then applying a small amount of fibreglass over it then sand and paint the piece the same colour as your dash.. It will be easier to manage and the resulting colour application will look closer to the plastic around the rest of the dash... And i would probably use a 7inch tab for a easier fit but thats just my personal opinion... You could have a go at making a theme for the picture you displayed with photoshop.. Would be hard and take to modifying an apk probably as well

if the specifications on that page are correct: do you have a vehicle with 24V power supply?
[Android Head-Units] sogoob:
it states 12v,

i have been working on using my 7" huawei mediapad as my main headunit now for a while... and i think i almost have it all sorted out

i will be removing my current headunit and using only the tablet.

i have 2 amps already (one for speakes, one for sub) and as for switching the amps on, this is not a problem, i will be using a acc switched power source.

as for converting 3.5mm out to rca i will be using what is called a ReQ5 unit (sorry cant link im too new)

i am planning on mounting this and the tablet behind the dash in my nissan s14 as to have a kind of factory look about it, and not have to modify the dash to much

i will keep you up to date on my progress :)
[Android Head-Units] thejam15:
I have actually taken apart a tablet (the power supply got fried). The best way I see is just using android as the user interface and then sending the sole audio signal out which is what I suspect regular head units without amplifiers do. All the android head unit needs to be is compadible to the standard wiring harness, im not expecting a loud system, just something that sounds good and is versatile, I even pondered making a shell and putting the tablet components into is and then making a dock in which the tablet just slides right into it. Of course this is just a conceptual idea but with enough resources I dont doubt it could be done.

Thanks eded333. Seems Nook touch developers are back on track. Glad to see all the busy posts. Cheer up.
[Nook Touch Android Development] ApokrifX:
eded333,

Could you tell where unique data kept (what files)?

Hopefully, it’s small enough and easy to backup / zip

If Touch-Formatter can read the file from SD, it can restore unique data easily, right?
[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
If i'm not wrong /rom and /factory both hold unique info for every nook, as mac, etc.

If you root your device, the only partitions which are touched are /data and /system, so dont worry for that.

Yes, it should be easy to, for example, to create a Backup.zip which did a backup of those files, partitions, or anything you want :p and then add to this or another zip a way to restore them from the SD.

Anyway there is allready a tuto for something like that, which creates a full backup of your Nook and it should be the first step before playing with it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1142983

Edit:

The backup done by CWM dosn't backup /rom and /factory.
[Nook Touch Android Development] Googie2149:
So do I have to register again after using this? Or does it stay registered? (I haven't had to wipe my Nook in a while. I'm so proud of myself! xD)
[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
This completely erases /data /cache and /system.

So... yes :p, you will need to register again, after using this.
[Nook Touch Android Development] ApokrifX:
That’s exactly what I want to avoid – to create full 1.8GB backup.

Isn’t it nice to have tiny backup, email to self, just in case?

There is /rom folder, but no /factory one.

/rom “zipped” is 32KB only

Searched both threads you mentioned – cannot find anything related to /factory folder.

Does /rom/devconf backup sufficient? :confused:
[Nook Touch Android Development] ros87:
While your idea with just backing up the unique data (which resides in both the rom partition and the factory one) might seem a good one, what happens when you screw up your NST the way that 99% of the users that asks me for help does?

If you delete/corrupt/overwrite boot, rom, factory or data, then your tiny rom backup won't help you much unless you can get a copy of the other partitions from someone else.

And then there's the problem with alignment of the data partition, which is part of an extended partition.. The first thing people usually kills is the partition table , and simply restoring it from another NST will (in 70% of the cases) not bring back the extended partitions :)

My vote would be a little yes and mostly no ;)
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
I think a backup of ROM itself should be a yes. Because if you have that and somehow completely absolutely destroy your partition, you will be able to with a little work and kindness from others eventually completely restore your device, in fact you could create a generic copy of the partitions blank or otherwise then use that to restore a device, have a script take the rom insert it write /boot /system etc for you and you're good to go.

However this shouldn't be used in place of a proper backup.
[Nook Touch Android Development] ApokrifX:
That’s where you Touch-Formatter helps me.

It’ll restore generic copy, my tiny backup makes it “personal” than.

That’s how B&N does it on factory, right?

Gabrial,

Do you think it’ll be possible to connect via adb and push back /rom partition content to restored generic image.

Providing we replaced uRamdisk and can use adb connect via USB.

Would it be sufficient?
[Nook Touch Android Development] GabrialDestruir:
It only gets mounted when running restores, not while the system is in use. But yes assuming your generic image had adb access you could push it back to /rom the issue however is that Touch-Formatter while great for returning devices to stock wouldn't fix partition issues, so if you screw up your partitions you'll need more than just this to fix it.
[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
I will work on (when I have some time) making a blank image with just a generic /boot, with all the partitions correctly done of the NST, but empty.

This image, compressed, shouldnt occupy more than a few megabytes, then make a zip which backups the sensitive data, /rom, /factory and create another zip, which should destroy all the data on the NST, burn this empty image, restore /rom and /factory, then trigger automatically reset/restore to end up with a 100% clean nook, even if you screw it hard.

Is this what you were asking for ApokrifX? Or did I get it wrong?
[Nook Touch Android Development] mali100:
Is there really unique data on /factory ? I thougt there is only some duplicate data from the rom partition.
[Nook Touch Android Development] mali100:
Making a normal backup with CWM doesn't include the /rom and /factory partition.
[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
Mmmm, I thought it did a full rom backup, I'll change the advice on the previous post, thanks.
[Nook Touch Android Development] ros87:
Yep, factory contains a copy of the rom data which gets extracted to rom when you do a factory restore.
[Nook Touch Android Development] ApokrifX:
eded333,

That’s exactly what I meant! :)

---------- Post added at 04:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 AM ----------

That’s all? :)

Anyway, where is it (factory partition)?

I.e. what is # in /dev/block/mmcblk0p#

[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
Factory, should be, if i'm not wrong /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
[Nook Touch Android Development] ros87:
No that's not all :)

Guys,

Need a little help here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22214127#post22214127

Basically, how do we change NST MAC?

Sorry, don’t know where else to ask…
[Nook Touch Android Development] MTKnife:
I've been trying to take my Touch back to stock before changing ROM's, and I just can't get either this method or n2T (both versions) to work: with both of them, no matter what I do, can't get into factory restore, but have CWM come up instead (and not automatically, either--I have to hold down the bottom buttons). Furthermore, at this point, I can't even get the thing to boot past the "Read Forever" screen anymore--unless I boot into CWM--nor, for that matter, can I even turn it off (I can only reboot).

Is there anything I can do at this point?

UPDATE: Since I could get to CWM, I flashed install_stock_1.1_recovery.zip, and was able to enter factory recovery and do a factory reset. I still, however, can't boot--and I tried both versions of n2T again, too, but no change, even after doing another factor reset. :(
[Nook Touch Android Development] ros87:
By your description I take it you had CWM Recovery installed, and it's clearly stated in the CWM thread that CWM Recovery replaces the stock recovery which this tool and also the n2T-Recovery tool uses.

By using these tools on a device with CWM Recovery I'm pretty sure something got ****ed up, and this case is best redirected to the CWM thread.
[Nook Touch Android Development] MTKnife:
I'm confused--this tool uses the CWM-based recovery, and n2T doesn't use any recovery at all (it boots directly from the disk).

---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 AM ----------

YET ANOTHER UPDATE: Well, that was an easy fix....It looks like the battery was low. I plugged in the USB cord and rebooted again, and the thing went straight into a factory reset, then booted normally. Doh.

Yay, now I don't have to tell my wife I destroyed the toy she bought me for Christmas.
[Nook Touch Android Development] mali100:
TouchFormatter should be used form a SD-Card with CWM, because both n2T and TouchFormatter just tell the stock recovery to reset the device.

As also written in the first post from the Clockwork recovery, for normal users there is no need to replace the stock recovery with CWM, its much better to use a sdcard with CWM on it. Maybe I should remove the zip which replaces the stock recovery.

If you haven't done it already, now would be a good moment to make a backup http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1142983 !
[Nook Touch Android Development] MTKnife:
Yeah, I normally do a NAND backup with Android devices (which is one reason I wanted CWM on there), though I can't recall if I had done one in this case. Mind you, it wouldn't have helped with this problem. :P
[Nook Touch Android Development] mali100:
Have you read the first post from the CWM Thread ?
[Nook Touch Android Development] MTKnife:
More than once, but I'm not sure why you ask--as you said above, I fixed the problem already. Yes, I know the post says the CWM-based recovery isn't necessarily needed by everyone, but I prefer to use that method to clear cache and Dalvik-cache, and at least some ROM's and other mods can be flashed in CWM--which, to me, is preferable to wearing out my SD Card by putting disk images on it repeatedly (not to mention the inconvenience of having to copy and then restore all the stuff on it).
[Nook Touch Android Development] mali100:
I just wanted to make it clear, that a CWM-Backup isn't enough, because the /rom and /factory partitions don't get backed up by CWM.

If you want to replace your stock recovery with CWM, than thats fine, but you should know the restrictions when you try to use the factory restore or the deregister functions.
[Nook Touch Android Development] MTKnife:
I've already got a backup of the ROM partition. Do you know if the beta5 version of MinimalTouch backs up those two partitions?
[Nook Touch Android Development] eded333:
No it dosnt, sorry.

On future updates, I'll make the Formatter backup /factory, etc.
[Nook Touch Android Development] wajanus:
Can you tell me what you did exactly? I got the NST back when it came out, flashed it with Touchnooter and basically "bricked" it. I could "boot up" into a makeshift recovery that was on the forum a few months ago (removed root) but it didn't help and then I could boot up CWR, I was SO excited. It was amazing. but since I have the 1.0 version, I can't really use the 1.1 recovery. I'm just trying to emulate your process.

Just seen the bit about

"

If CWM hangs while rebooting, dont worry, force shutdown, and start your nook again, nothing bad happens.

"

Unfortunately, "Force shutdown" by holding power in doesnt work - holding it for 20 secs plus doesnt power off?

Hoping when it runs out of batts (which shouldnt be long - CWM screen is "grey text on black" - which I believe is full power?) this'll reboot and all good?
