[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
One last thing before you contact Samsung:

Download Nexus S [i9020T/i9023] 4.0.3 Full ROM and copy to sdcard as update.zip

Go into bootloader

Recovery

Data/factory reset

Install update.zip (reflash all files of ICS)

Reboot and hope it works out fine

If this doesn't work for you i highly doubt rooting and changing ROMs will. This will reinstall the entire OS (format and install /system), bootloader, radio, kernel and recovery.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iglu:
Do i need to be root user in order to do that ?

And just to make sure, this Full ROM is for i9020T ? correct ?

(mine says only GT-i9020 on the back, bought in Carphone Warehouse in England).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Yes, i9020T. If you get 3G with Orange, and you have the SAMOLED screen, you have the i9020T (and to my knowledge, 9020 on the back signifies i9020T).

Also, i don't believe you need to be root to do that. I'm pretty sure you can flash the same version ROM from stock recovery as long as it is signed, just not older versions.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iglu:
First, thanks guys for the help.

After first doing the factory reset, it seemed the bootloop happens less often. At first i tought it was solved but then it rarely (1 to 5 reboots) yet happened.

Today i installed the Full ROM Harbb suggested and so far i have no reboot issues.

But i after the installation i saw OS wasn't reset. Does it suppose to (not) happen ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
You're welcome. Also, all that file does is replace everything in the /system partition (OS). All apps besides the defaults that come from the factory are not in that partition so are not affected. Hopefully your problem is fixed permanently :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supermaz:
But it's generally recommended to do a full wipe when switching ROMs. It could be that you encounter other problems because of the ROM change without wipe. But you could also be lucky to have no problems. Just to remind you, when you encounter something wierd.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iglu:
Problem is still there ....

Hi guys,

First thanks for all the help, but the problem still there.

I did the upgrade using the Full ROM as Harbb suggested. For the first 10-12 times i rebooted (i rebooted again and again) it was alright, booting successfully ... but then it stated occasionally to bootloop and now it does it almost everytime. usually takes up to 10 times i remove the battery and start the phone so it will start up and not bootloop.

Also, I'm sorry the taking so long to respond, the nature of the problem compelling me to test it for a few days so i will know if it works or not. :(

Should i root the device ?

If so , how do i replace / rewrite the boot program ?

I would much appreciate any suggestion.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlatDinger:
I had a similar problem, bootlooping, stuck on Google logo when running 4.0.3 in the end I took it back to carphone warehouse who repaired it and now it's ok. I found that heating it with a hair-dryer made it stop bootlooping (but that's what worked for me). However the repair seems to have fixed any issues and its all OK now.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iglu:
My problem is i bought the device also in carphone warehouse in the UK, but i live in Israel. Meaning i will have to send it to them by air-mail.

By any chance they mentioned what was the problem ?

also did they give you a refurbished device or a new one ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkhShadow:
Most likely its a refurbished one, as is the way of sending devices for warranty

Sent from my ice cream powered Nexus S
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlatDinger:
Sorry for slow reply - they said they 'flashed it' and it came back unlocked but I believe its still the same handset and I've no idea how they did it soz.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iglu:
Hey, thanks for the replay.

What does is mean to flash it ?

How do i do that ?

You noted it was returned unrooted, was it rooted before ?

Again thank you all for the help.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlatDinger:
To be honest I'm a novice to these terms but know that they unlocked it(it was not unlocked when sent off) and reinstalled os 2.3.3 after a complete wipe. Details of how to unlock and flash (install a different os) are on the forums. If you follow the forum advice precisely the instructions work. I am now running a CyberGR rom of ics 4.0.3 that runs smoother than stock ics . Again found on these forums. Hope this helps.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iglu:
I was away for a while so it took me sometime to answer.

I will try downgrading to 2.3.3 and upgrade again, hopefully it will work. I will update the forum when I'm done.

Hi is there anyway to activate the deskclock dock automatically just by connecting the Phone to the charger?

I really like the idea of the Dock display, but I'm not gonna build a house of cards with a magnet just so the dock comes on automatically and I'm certainly not going to buy the darn dock thing...

Is there an app or setting I can change to that when I plug my phone to a charger, it automatically pops up?

Hi people i was wondering if anyone could help me, i want to use Quick Panel in UBKPD ROM, I pulled the apk from XXKPQ to /system/app but itsn't working, should I have to modify something in UBKPD to make it work?

Thanks and sorry for my bad english.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
It's not enough, you have to mod /system/app/SystemUI.apk first and copy another apk. If you want there's a guide made by the creator of this mod: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1289896.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] neodarklink:
I followed the guide to port Quick Panel several times and always with the same result, boot loop at boot logo :'(

also tried to port extended power menu following this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1169443 and the result are the same, boot loop.

I dont kwnow what i am doing wrong, i follow the guides step by step. For compile/decompile apks i am using apktool in archlinux

The only problem I had when I modded SystemUI.apk was no statusbar, it always booted.

Bootloops usually happen when you mod framework-res.apk. That's because before you recompile it, you must select as compression level 0, otherwise you'll have bootloops.

If you want I can help you, just give me the files.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] neodarklink:
I think that I made some advances, because phone is booting now :D but still not working :'( i will explain:

Quick Panel:

I have status bar working after mod SystemUI.apk, but dont have the toogles.

SytemUI.apk and QuickPanelSettings.apk in /system/app, Permisions rw-,r--,r--

lidroid-res.apk in /system/framework, Permisions rw-,r--,r--

Done several times and allways the same result :'(

Extend Power Menu:

Phone now is booting after mod framework-res.apk :D

so i made the second phase mod android.policy.jar, compile and decompile is fine, after replace original the phone boot normal but when i long press the power button the phone hangs for a few seconds and then reboots, i make the process several thimes and always same result :'(

I want to learn that is why I am doing this over and over again. I compared the codes with the codes in XXKPQ.10lockscreen.14Toggle and are the same that I moded following the instructions in the previous post. Thanks in advice for the understandig and for the bad english :p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
That's weird.

Try apkmanager instead of apktool (linux: http://apkmultitool.com/downloads/apk_manager_linux_5.0.zip). It's just a console script that makes your work easier. Read this guide that explains how to apply the "1% battery mod", you'll understand how to properly decompile and compile system apks (other than applying the "1% battery mod" :D) with apkmanager.

Here what I usually do for android.policy.jar.

First of all you need baksmali.jar and smali.jar (download them from here: http://code.google.com/p/smali/downloads/list):

Exract classes.dex from android.policy.jar (jar = zip)

Decompile classes.dex running this command (of course you need to specify the correct path for baksmali.jar and classes.dex etc):

java -jar path/to/baksmali.jar -o classout/ classes.dex

Do all the changes to the files as explained in the guide

Recompile:

java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout/ -o new-classes.dex

Replace classes.dex with new-classes.dex (rename new-classes.dex of course) inside android.policy.jar
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] neodarklink:
I will read the guide for "1% battery mod" it would be usefull too for UBKPD :D, and also will try apkmanager :D about smali/baksmali I have allready installed maybe the way to compile was the error, cos i compiled like

java -jar smali.jar classes.dex

and then replaced in original android.policy.jar
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bproulx:
Hey guys.. I have flashed a few roms to my Raider now, but my internal SD is a mess - lots of old left-over install folders, leftover app bits..etc. When I'm in CWM Recovery, I found an option to format the internal SD card. My question is this: What will that wipe? Everything?? Does it wipe out my CWM and the installed ROM as well?? I'm scared to try it, bc I don't want to brick my phone. I'm not real familiar with pushing files to the SD card thru ADB (actually I just know its possible, no idea what the commands are) so I don't want to have to go that route, but I'd REALLY like to wipe my internal storage and clean it up.

Ideas?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ccb101:
I recommend going into your settings when your booted into android. So long as you have no apps installed to the I.internal sd card you are safe to format.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jul644:
i would not use the CWM option to do that, it is a port and not fully supported and i know on some other devices (not sure about vivid) but that would soft brick the device
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Apatche69:
I always use the windows format and change the allocation size while I'm at it. Just backup what you need and copy it over when you are done. Since there are a lot of leftover bits I'd recommend not doing a quick format. The method in which you format probably doesn't matter but I like working from the computer when it comes to this stuff.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bproulx:
And formatting the *internal* storage from USB storage mode in Windows won't clear out my HoliRaider ROM? I just don't wanna brick my phone its running awesome now thanks to bananacakes.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Apatche69:
No, the rom is installed on its own partition. I've formatted with no issues after I rooted and debloated my phone

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Attackcenter:
Poland comes through with ICS release

I believe from the letters "OXA" that the release comes from Poland. Poland seem like they are definately at the top of the list for releases with the Samsung Galaxy S2. With the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 it seems like most of the carriers have been equally coming out with releases, with some being a little more bleeding edge with versions than others.

Interesting to see what comes out.

[Kindle Fire General] Aerlock:
My search-fu is weak this morning and I've not been following development here since I don't have a Fire, but ones of my wives friends asked me about rooting her Fire. I said I would check and I found the BurritoRoot3 post here which seems to work pretty smoothly. When the Fire first got root I kinda remember reading that rooted devices lost access to the Amazon streaming. I'm not sure I'm remembering that correctly so I thought I'd ask. Before I go ahead and root her Fire I would like to know if rooting breaks access to any of the Amazon services?

Thanks,

- Aerlock
[Kindle Fire General] ItsDon:
Rooting the Fire will disable the Amazon Video App as it specifically looks for Superuser. Here's what I did. I rooted mine, installed Market, downloaded (and also sideloaded) all the apps I wanted that were not available while locked down in stock mode and then used OTARootkeeper to temporarily unroot the device. Doing this gave me the best of both worlds.

I'm running GoLauncher EX with Market and a bunch on non Amazon approved apps AND still can use the Amazon Video service. You can also choose to run the stock launcher at any time.

OTARootkeeper will allow you to reroot with just a click to add more apps later.

All other Amazon apps and services work fine under this method.

I understand that the mobile data wouldn't work obviously, but I don't care about that as I don't have active Verizon service.

Short answer: no.

And besides, if you are already on a custom rom then why not just stay on it?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] youpiyo:
I have a small question I tried almost all popular roms on this site. And in every roms I had an issue.

Here a description:

*MIUI Link: Worked like a charme but Bluetooth didn't work, and battery couldn't handle it. I also tested the ported one, but it was worst.

*Zeus: android system was always crashing on network (4g and wifi)

*catyroms: couldn't mount my external Sd, and crashes sometimes

*BIonix: could access my rogers network, even for the phone

*CM7 the kang version: seems to work so far.

I'm a noob, but I saw that the base of the rom are ATT versions, and most of the time the kernel was UCKL2. Is it really a big deal for a rogers infuse phone to have that kind of kernel on it. Maybe that's why I had so many issues with the roms.

If for example I install Zeus and with sgs flasher I flash the zeus kernel with a UXKG3 or last entropy's kernel, would it solve my problems?

Thanks for your answers and explanation
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Try Infused ROMs. They are based off Rogers ROM.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] youpiyo:
How

How do I know when a rom is based on roger rom?

When the kernel is UXKG3?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
99.99% it would be mentioned in OP.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] youpiyo:
what do you mean by OP

Thanks, but if you go to the superthread only one thread is mention rogers only.

In custom rom section nowhere it's mention also

I also check the 7 pages in Samsung Infuse > 4GInfuse 4G Android Development> Forum anywhere roger is mention in the title

Does it mean it's not fully compatible? and it only works for ATT?

And what about that:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] youpiyo:
Rom Infused

[ROM] Infused v2.2.3

That one seems to be compatible

Do we have another one?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
I used it for months since I got my Infuse, and was on until I switched to Zeus. Try it out, you won't be disappointed.

Edit: If you want Froyo, try out Infused 1.5.x ROMs.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] youpiyo:
I'm a little bit disapointed but I will wait with infused until a better miui Bluetooth working and battery life.

Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] threi_:
I'm using Zeus on an infuse w/rogers and its working fine for me.

Originally the AT&T bloatware turned me off but dman managed to get rid of it.

Did you wipe before flashing ZEUS?

*edit*

also i may be wrong on this but i believe zeus uses the same kernel as infused, which is rogers-based.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] youpiyo:
Yep I flash data cache and devilsk.

After I install the rom even during google setup it crash. So Idon't why.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] teknhard:
I'm on zeus on Rogers as well. This thing has been rock solid for me. One force close after initial flash, then all has been fine. Kl2 is the modem not the kernel if I'm not mistaken

I am new to xdadevelopers and this is my first thread.

I was just wondering if anyone has tried the new method of rooting our device?

Apparently, you can download GalaxyS2RootNew.zip. Unzip the file and install runme.bat.

This is supposed to work on all variants of the Galaxy S 2. You will get ROOT access but this method does not install a new kernel with recovery so you can't install custom ROM's.

Please advise if anyone has heard of this method, has tried it, does it work?

Found it on GalaxyS2Root.com website. Thanks.

just follow the stickies that's about the easiest and safest method ever
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
I have followed the stickies and have watched videos on how to root the device using ODIN. That method works very well, but you need to back everything up first which requires a Micro SD card. I don't have a Micro SD card at the moment so can't use that method.

I was just wondering if anyone has tried the alternative method on the T989 model. It seems a lot more user friendly, easier, safer and you have no chance of bricking your phone. Thanks for your reply.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
You don't need to backup anything but it is recommended in case you screw something up. Probably not going to happen if you don't flash a new rom, and stick to smaller changes like theme, or maybe a new kernel.

I've done odin method and seems pretty foolproof to me. I don't see how it can get less of a change to brick unless some other physical hardware problem intervenes in the process in mid-flash.
