Hey guys, sorry for the rookie question here but it seems so general that I'm having difficulty finding the answer.

So I'm new to android and read that your purchased apps are forever linked to your google account, so that you can always and forever use paid apps on all your devices.

I just want to know, will you always have updates to the newest version of the apps you paid for?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weedy2887:
The short: Yes

The long: Only if the dev isn't a ****

An app gets a UUID of sorts when it's added to the market, so not only are those IDs tagged to your google account but assuming the dev updates the app the ID won't change.

Of course this doesn't stop a developer from renaming the app something else and uploading it to the market again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Digglez:
I was wondering as I have only had my phone for about 5 days which version out of all of them is the least buggy I was told ek02 has the best modem so thats what I am using now as I am on boost mobile and have no 4g but its kinda bugging me that all the new dev stuff is for el29 and I just figured id ask what version people are using and how buggy or solid that version is ?

Thanks

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
Your rom and modem do not have to match. Every phone and area are different, ek02 ran eh ok for me, but el26 and el29 run better. Try them out and see.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joecr250r:
I think I had the same confusion when I first changed my ROM. I thought I had to use an EK02 version since that is what my modem was. I then found out it has no correlation.. apparently... if I am wrong let me know please. I loaded an EL29 Rom and then changed my modem back to EK02 and have had no problems. I am running the current Blend ROM and love it right now. I have run Calkulins Rom also and had no problems with that one either.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
100% correct you are. Find the best combo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ctbearz:
That's interesting. I actually only recently received the OTA for EL29, and to my surprise, the phone now is able to pick up 4G signals down in my basement where it had no reception at all before.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Its not that they have no correlation. In theory the matched set is what Samsung/Sprint tested with so the least chance of issues would be with the matched set.

In practice it has been the case that you can mix and match, but I wouldn't take that as an automatic going forward for all future updates.

In particular the more major the change, the more likely for there to be issues with cross compatability.

please suggest some good games for this phone. I haven't found the 3D option that interesting. the games that already game - nova, gulliver's travel, racing, etc are pretty lame.

is there any thing out there that was maybe ported from a computer or a console and is on the phone? hopefully nothing too old?
[LG Optimus 3D] Original_Fr3aKy:
Search the forum for GTA 3,Counter-strike or u can root your phone to play tegra games.Everything is in the forum.Just do a search ;)

and what is a tegra game?
[LG Optimus 3D] johnko1:
Tegra games are games that run exclusively on devices equiped with a tegra processor such as Optimus 2X.You can run tegra games on non tegra-processor phones by using chainfire 3D.

Now,the games with the best graphics for O3D IMO (non 3D) are Modern Combat 3 (amazing graphics),Tintin HD,Shadowgun,Need for speed hot pursuit and many more

GTA 3 is good too but I didn't really like the graphics compared to the games above ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] srmclark:
I own a Galaxy S2 for AT&T. I had rooted it, installed Clockwork Mod Recovery and CM7 without any problems. I found an article from CNET about a ICS Rom download. I'm sorry I cannot post the link as I am a new user and the forum rules do not allow me to. The article is called "Samsung Galaxy S2 Ice Cream Sandwich how-to guide" on CNET UK.

And I was interesting in trying this new ROM. So I made a back up using the CM Recovery, downloaded the file, and flashed the ROM per the directions. It flashed without any problem and booted right up into ICS. At first glance, everything was alright, with the exception of a few bugs. I noticed the touch buttons did not work, except for the home button. Then I noticed that the phone functions did not work. So I attempted to reboot into recovery only to discover it was gone, along with my backups I had made. Now, I can't even get the phone into download mode (volume buttons + power). Also, the phone is seemingly unrooted now. I fear I have bricked it. I'm sorry if this was in another post, but I'm in panic mode now. Can my phone be fixed? Thank you for any help you can provide.

Edit: Okay, I was using this forum post: "[GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII" and in it, it mentions getting to download mode the incorrect way, which explains why I could not get into download mode.

I followed the instructions in the post to the letter, flashed everything and according to Odin, it was successful. The phone booted up and what I see is what appears to be the stock OS. However, the phone functions still will not work and the soft keys on the bottom are also "screwy" (i.e. only the home button works). Are there any ways to revert my GS2 to stock, as in when I first bought it, so I can start completely over, like from a clean slate? I'm just so confused right now, I thought I had a handle on this stuff, but I guess not. I'm worried I messed up my phone for good.

Also, when I hit the power button, there is no option to reboot the phone, only shut off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nitox.n2o:
Our phone (I777) is not the same as the international SGS2 (I9100). The ROM you flashed was built for the international version, which resulted in the problems you are having. Currently, while we are able to flash several I9100 ROMs onto our phones thanks to Entropy512's wonderful Hellraiser tool, we can NOT flash ICS ROMs for reasons stated in other threads.

Follow this guide here to get back to stock.

Also, for future reference, please use the search function on these boards. All the information you need to get your phone working again can be found through it.

@srmclark

The package you downloaded from sammobile.com/firmware, according to the article, is I9100XXLP2_I9100OXALP2_OXA.rar. I didn't download it to look at all of the components, but I'm sure it contains everything including bootloaders, param.lfs and crc for the I9100. To get your phone back to stock, you need to flash all of those components for the I777, along with the stock I777 firmware. The files you need are all available in the Download Repository linked in my signature. Specifically, you need the files in the section I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries. I would also suggest that you flash the param.lfs first by itself, then flash the whole package.

Let us know if you need any additional help.

Also: the button combinations for entering recovery and download mode differ between the two models, and are contained in the secondary bootloader. You will need the I9100 button combination to get into download mode initially, and then once you flash over the secondary bootloader from I777, the button combinations will change.

Thanks for the helpful link. I know that to get to Download Mode, I need to hold both volume buttons while plugging in the phone while ODIN is running on the PC. In fact, I had to do that to get into the trouble I'm in now.

But after flashing an sgs2 i9100 version of ICS, I cannot enter download mode in the way I used to be able to. I can't enter Download mode in the way that the i9100 does either.

It sounded like the OP had the same issues I'm having now and was able to resolve them. So . . . does anyone know how to get to Download Mode under these circumstances?

I'm not trying to poke the lions, but the solution to my problem is not in that post or the link. If I could get my phone into Download Mode, I could do those things -- and I wouldn't be here trying your patience.

I can't apply that fix if I can't get my phone into Download Mode. I can't get it into download mode because I stupidly ODIN-flashed ICS for i9100, like the OP did. Anyone know of a way to get a phone in that situation into Download Mode?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
You might need to get a jig and put it into download mode that way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
@skfitz,

When you flashed the I9100 ICS package, you flashed the bootloaders and probably param.lfs. The secondary bootloader contains the button combos for download mode and recovery, and so will be the I9100 button combinations. However, since our hardware is designed differently than the I9100, I'm not sure what variation works. I have read several posts from persons who have flashed the I9100 bootloaders, and they say they can get into download mode with another button combination, but I'm not sure what it is.

Secondly, the link in the second post of this thread, the unbrick/return to stock thread, does not contain bootloaders and param.lfs. You will need to go the the download repository linked in my signature to find those files. In fact, you should probably flash the files from the "I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries" section, since this is the complete firmware from sammobile.com.

As the previous poster said, if you can't figure out the button combo, you can get into download mode with a jig.

Edit: I9100 download mode is volume down + home hardkey + power. So I would try volume down + home softkey + power. Not sure, but I think you can do it on the I9100 without plugging in the usb cable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skfitz:
Thanks creepy. No luck with the soft home key. Plan is to use the jig and follow your instructions. Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

SGSII Bricks

Hey guys, I'm coming from a Captivate (sgh i897) which was virtually unbrickable. I got my SII (SGH i777) about three weeks ago and I'm pretty fed up with stock. Before i go on to flash unNamed or just the Siyah Kernel; Is the i777 about as unbrickable as the captivate? I can fix a soft brick extremely quickly, I have been flashing for 6 months and although i don't know everything I know what i'm doing. If I stick to stable i777 roms, are the chances of me bricking (most likely due to software error not MY error) anywhere close to zero? Thanks guys, i really appreciate any feedback.

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

Try volume down+power+connect usb cable

or

Volume (both)+ power+ USB
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skfitz:
The jig worked. Happiness

The jig put the phone into download mode. It's a good thing too, because no combination of buttons was going to make it happen.

So once the jig worked its magic, I Odin-flashed the bootloader from creepy's repository. After that, the phone would boot into Download Mode the way it's supposed to, using both volume buttons and plugging-in the phone.

Then I Odin flashed the param. Everything still works. So I wanted to flash the I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries, but the download site only shows the FBI's billboard. What to do, wise ones?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Either one of the two bottom links will probably work. (They were the last time I checked a couple days ago.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skfitz:
I wasn't able to download the binary files. So I flashed the stock rom, cleared the caches, and the phone seemed to work fine. Then I rooted it again, installed CWM, and restored from my backup image (cg7). Perfect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Simple - don't **** with bootloaders (boot.bin or Sbl.bin), don't ever use a PIT to flash, and you'll be fine.

The Captivate was not virtually unbrickable - it was even easier to brick than the I777 due to bricking if the primary and secondary bootloaders didn't match. I9100/I777 seem to usually be OK if only the SBL gets changed. That said - DO NOT MESS WITH BOOTLOADERS unless you are ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY sure that you must.

Currently, there is NO valid reason to ever touch them. ICS might change this - but for now, don't mess with them.

Edit: Also, don't flash anything not made for your device unless you've got explicit instructions for how to do it in a safe manner. For example, flashing ****rocket ROMs will hardbrick you and vice versa, due to them clobbering the bootloaders due to differences in partition layout. Right now, the only firmwares for other devices that are OK to flash on I777 are I9100 CWM-flashable firmwares, and that is ONLY if you follow the instructions for Hellraiser.

(The OP of this thread flashed something using Odin that had bootloaders - both of which the Hellraiser instructions say not to do.)

Was downloading some stuff and noticed slow downloads, so I took a capture, and I see the handset sending lots of TCP ZeroWindow messages.

My understanding is the the handset buffers are getting full and there it's sending kind of a 'pause' message to the server.

assuming that's correct (and please do comment on that), would setting a larger buffer on the handset help?

And if you think it will, how do I go about that?

Hi,

To change your MAC ID of your device , the device must be rooted.

to change your mac id simply run the command as root

echo 9c:15:84:56:45:12 > /data/misc/wifi/.nvmac.info

where you can replace the "9c:15:84:56:45:12" with your required MAC ID

Note: this change is not permanent the MAC ID will rest to default value after a reboot

You may check the change my turn on wifi and looking at settings=>"phone status"

or by using terminal by the command

busybox ifconfig

I found out this by simply 'grep' ing the original macid in the system folders

this worked for my galaxy-young and thing it ll work for others also
