[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
It just looks like you've discovered both recovery and download mode. I have an S2 and they're both standard, out of the box. With the S2 you hold the home button and volume up while turning on for recovery mode, and the home button and volume down while turning on for download mode. Sounds like what you've experienced.

Other than that, I'm sorry but I don't see a question there.

Development will only come for the device if developers get interested in it. If none of the developers on xda have it then no-one will do anything for it.

If you're requesting a forum for the specific device, then there's a thread for that, which is obviously the best place to make the request so it gets seen and heard...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1416406

If you've got any specific questions about the device then it's always worth asking, despite the lack of a specific forum. There will be other members with the same device, and then there's always the fact that most things are common from device-to-device, within a common manufacturer.

Good luck :)
[General Questions and Answers] graydiggy:
Oh, I forgot to mention, there is also a separate recovery mode. Similar to what you normally find on a stock Galaxy S phone. It is reached by holding both Vol-up/down and power. Same as Galaxy S devices.

I did not know that there was a request thread, so thanks for the link.

Also, Myself, and other members have asked quite a few questions about the device, like ways to root. All have been ignored. I'm not one to complain, but you would think someone would at least say that they don't know, or something. lol
[General Questions and Answers] avelis26:
I was thinking the same thing. Seems to be no way to root this phone and worse... no developers have said why it can't or can be done. Its like this phone doesn't exist :-(
[General Questions and Answers] graydiggy:
I think it is a great little phone, but it would be so much better with at least root on it. Also, from my investigating, the development potential for ROM's would be really awesome.

I think I found the oxm pads and believe that this phone has potential for the unbrickable mod as well. It has 2 different download modes and the regular recovery mode. There is some real potential on this device. If I had the skill and time, I would be more than happy to try to find root. But unfortunately, that is impossible for me. Is there a dev that is willing to look into root for this?

[General Questions and Answers] PlayfulGod:
Not with ODIN ;) just need root to get the stock kernel to pull the initramfs from. ;)
[General Questions and Answers] graydiggy:
It is really just a matter of building a kernel that will actually flash/boot. That was a problem we ran into.
[General Questions and Answers] shabbypenguin:
im well aware of what the electrify is....

and even then on the photon you just needed to use pudding, didnt need root. same basic concept here you flash the kernel using odin.

as for how your going to like it... IDK? like most of the phones the hit squad works on ive never seen one in real life... let alone how it compares to my photon

Samsung Illusion Root Purgatory

I got a problem. I'm new to rooting and recently installed framaroot. I used it and according to root check it was successful. I know because I was able to delete some stock apps.however something went wrong and I can't get the privileges back. AVG scan told me I'm still in high privilege mode and apparently I'm still rooted but its like I'm in purgatory.I did a factory reset but beyond that not sure what to do.I'm not necessarily anewb, but I know nothing about the OS or scripting. Help is appreciated.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vantt1:
I asked a similar question before, but it wasn't much help.

Does anyone know which files in the XXLP6 ROM makes TV-out via MHL HDMI work? I'm asking because I'm using XXLPB right now and it doesn't seem to work. I don't want to flash XXLP6 because it took me a long time to save my WiFi passwords and install all my apps and stuff.

So I was thinking that if I could flash a CWM ZIP package which contained the working MHL drivers from XXLP6 onto XXLPB, it would save me a lot of time and effort.

I'm a noob who only knows how to flash ROMS, root and use CWM. Are there any pro developers or ROM builders out there who are willing to help??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danvsullivan:
Alright, everyone. You knew this was coming. What's your favorite ICS ROM so far and why do you like it? I've only tried ICS Passion, but it's pretty slick. As a side note, please share whether or not your favorite ROM supports USB mass storage for the SD card. Passion doesn't yet.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NullandKale:
Passion supports sd card and has for a while, at least it works on my phone. Passion is made specifically for Vibrant, while ICSSGS is made for I9000 and ported to vibrant, CM9 is what passion is based off of. Currently Passion V13 is the best out there
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danvsullivan:
I have Passion v13 and UMS does not work. I heard that the last compatible version was 10.6, which seems to be the case. Do you have it working on v13?

Edit: Wow, so I just plugged it in and after not working many times, it now works. Both internal and external SD show up too, eventhough ICS isn't supposed to support internal SD storage.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NullandKale:
I used it maybe five minutes ago to transfer an apk, and its been working for me since 10.6, when was the last time you wiped?

and yes I have V13
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danvsullivan:
I just flashed v12 a week ago and then v13 maybe 4 or 5 days ago. It seems to be working now, though. Have you tried any ROMs other than Passion?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NullandKale:
I used ICSSGS up until V10.6 of passion came out, I recently flashed ICSSGS RC4.2 and it wasn't as smooth as Passion V13
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danvsullivan:
Good to know I made the right decision by going with Passion first. Do you use CPU governor in Passion?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NullandKale:
I have been using lulzactive, and the lulzactive app which allows you to customize the governor
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danvsullivan:
Does your keyboard lag a bit when you exit messaging? Because that's really the only thing that's not-so-smooth about Passion.

v13

I had installed ics v13 last week but could not get GPS to work. The rom itself is awesome and VERY smooth. However, I needed my GPS, so I had to go back to bionix v 1.3.1.

I may try upgrading to ics once the GPS issues have been fixed for most people.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danvsullivan:
You couldn't get it to work even with AngryGPS? You can also allow apps to find your phone based on wireless networks, but I guess it's a bit late for that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheetsofsound:
I came from MIUI, and with ICS have had the same GPS problems. Have you had the mute/unmute bug with bionix? That was why I switched from MIUI. I may switch to bionix if everything works.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninor9:
I did notice that the call quality was not as great. Some cracking sounds, etc. The UI and everything else on the ROM was awesome. I just think that for me (I use my gps often) it would not work.

Bionix v1.3.1 is great, however it is based on 2.2, and I have had some issues with the notification pull down lagging extremely. I will need to ask in QA if anyone else is having that issue.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] db3:
you really should make this a poll. i'd be interested in the results. well, my 2 cents: passion is, by far, the most stable and has almost everything working. AOKP and CNA are less stable, but have a lot more customization features.

AOKP is reasonably stable for me using Nelson's latest kernel instead of Glitch. the lockscreen, battery, and toggles are great. only thing i can do without is the pink unicorn.

edit: oh, and haven't tried any others (yet).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninor9:
I have only tried Passion v12 and v13. the problem for me is that with so many issue still lingering in everyday items (GPS, voice sounds with the MUTE/UNMUTE 'fix'), I will rather stick to a Gingerbread or Froyo Rom.

I currently use FishManMod's Bionix v1.3.1 with the BlueMyst theme and I also installed the ICS fonts. Looks great, is fast, and everything works.

Until there is a smooth ICS rom with good battery life (reason why I hated CM7) and everything working, I won't go through the hassle of upgrading.

That's just my two cents.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdpaull:
I used to use Passion, but then I switched to OneCosmic RC3.1 and found it incredibly smooth. However, in order to get my GPS to work, I had to use the Passion kernel with OneCosmic's ROM. When I tried upgrading to OneCosmic RC4.x, it wiped my EFS...I learned the hard way that a backup was necessary. I ended up getting that fixed, and since then, I've switched to Passion v13. I find it to be great so far...everything seems to work well: GPS; purchasing apps from Market; etc.

Maybe if/when OneCosmic puts out RC5, I'll switch back over and check it out.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danvsullivan:
Thanks for all the responses. I haven't noticed any problems with call quality on Passion v13 at all. And I never had the mute/unmute problem. The only thing I haven't really had much use for is GPS, but everything else works well.

What's unstable about those other ROMs, db3? Because I like customization and Passion is certainly lacking in that department.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwms77:
I'm on Slim ICS now and have found it to be the most customizable of the ICS ROMs I've tried so far. Passion was awesome too but Slim starts with barebones and you can install whatever launchers, apps, themes, etc, you want on it. I have noticed the mute-unmute issue on it though where I had no problems with that on Passion. Think Ecstacy will be my next flash once RC is available.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bones192nd:
The fix works well for me. Thank you for posting the YAGF link.

Being that you tried those 3, what are your complete thoughts on them? Which one did you like and why?

GPS is a major concern for me and since this fix worked with passion I am happy, but if it works with Euphoria, i would be open to try Euphoria if its better. My priority is 1st stability, 2nd functionality (GPS, camera and video) and 3rd customization. I dislike how passion isn't that customizable but it is very fast. very stable and i got the gps to work.

so yeah your thoughts on the 3? :-)

First tried GingerSnap rom with VK1 modem.

Then tried Jugger 4.1 with KL1 modem.

Conclusion: Great GPS. More normal data speeds. But Voice was even worse!

I tried forcing the network selection to WCDMA and that didn't help.
