It sounds like you may of gotten a corrupt download or something of the sort. I'd recommend re-download the auto-restore EL29 file and try again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vandam500:
Yes you can go ahead and backup CM9. If you want to go from CM9 back to Gingerbread I'd recommend you do the first 2 steps and then you can go back into recovery and restore a Gingerbread Nandroid. If you want to go back to the CM9 backup don't restore from a Gingerbread ROM but go from steps 3-6 (Installing CM7) and then restore the CM9 Nandroid.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tshile:
Thats the problem... i know user error causes a lot of problems, but for me (someone who doesn't read these forums all day every day) there's a ton of information out there about what does/doesn't work, what may/may not cause it.

It's very hard to keep up and know the information you're getting from the threads is accurate, because I don't read every day and I don't know who any of the posters are.

My phone is used for work (Sys Admin). I cannot have my phone go down for a day. So it's hard to balance getting the latest/greatest, and having

patience to allow all the bugs to get worked out. It's even harder when there's no list to refer to.

Don't mistake my complaining as being against specifically here for how/what they do, but more as kind of explaining why you see may see the same questions (like what I asked) on a daily, or even hourly, basis across all the threads. It's really difficult to keep up as a casual reader on XDA who grabs a rom every and now and then. There are people here who get really upset about it, but they need to be realistic; you're expecting someone to read a 60+ page thread that spans 3-5 weeks and try to keep track of what issues still exist, what's been fixed, and what causes have been identified?

Thanks though, I had forgotten about the GPS workaround. I'll have to remember that when I decide to try this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
This is the first time I've heard of this issue coming up, without someone wiping data and trying to flash something else in recovery first, before going on to Odin. In other words, using Odin to try to recover a brick, not create one.

Could you please walk through exactly the steps you took, and what recovery version you had on your phone at the time you tried the Odin one-click?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vandam500:
Indeed I'd like to know more info too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
I'd still like to find out if the guy that may have bricked used ROM Manager or CWM Touch at any time prior to the Odin attempt.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lukelee83:
I'm sorry if this has been answered already. I am at work right now and can't read through the whole thread. My understanding is that for whatever reason, CM9 will not play nice when flashed using any recoveries other than stock CWM. Even though the Rogue recovery is CWM based, becasue it isn't stock CWM, it can cause issues. At the moment, the only way to get the stock CWM recovery is by flashing CM7.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Thank you for the explanation.

Why is CWM not made available for the Epic 4G Touch as a tar in the dev section or on ROM Manager?

Can anyone get it from CM7 and tar it up? Or maybe submit it to ROM Manager so you can flash it. Cause right now, ROM Manager doesn't look like it even support Epic 4G TOuch on CM9
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
I'm of the opinion that going anywhere near ROM Manager, or using a version of CWM that has not been repacked by Steady Hawkin is asking for trouble right now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maddoggin:
what cwm did you download or odin after restoring system to el29? you said u used autoroot to get cwm but which one did u use? thanks!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
well why doesn't he make it?

Rom manager is such a helpful tool. We need to utilize it! Hell cm9 should be able to update from it ota
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vandam500:
I used option C then option L of that autoroot.

Its says its "EL29+CWM-Rogue" (stock repack rogue)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JasonK75:
This was perfect instruction and loved how you lined out the OP to make it simple. Love that; great work and keep it up! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acejoker25000:
Stock cwm recovery tar file! Flash via mobile Odin or Odin on computer! If on ics rom your phone will not boot after applying this but once you install this double flash cm9 to make it stick then gapps. Wipe first flash cm9 flash cm9 flash gapps reboot always works every time for me

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boliviano3:
Has anyone tried step one of this guide w/ mobile Odin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lviv73:
I think because cm7 has different recovery necessary to flash cm9.Because ics uses different partition table than gb.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I thought it was because the updater script in CM9 checked the build.prop before flashing?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlie_kilo:
Hello

Have any of you tried the TRIDENT AEGIS case for the ATRIX 4G. It surely looks great and functional, but I'm not sure abut the build quality as it can be docked along with the phone. Please post your review and pictures :-)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titusxperia10:
Sure!

Just ordered from their site, and look very promising, JUS THE WAY I WAS EXPECTING A CASE TO BE for the Atrix! (And let me tell you I own at least 6 cases each one 30+ f*** bucks)

Once I get it delivered, will upload a modest review and some pictures attached in HD dock and Lapdock, (´cause of course, it won´t fit car dock)

My primary case is an Active Case from Seidio (such a fantastic combo) along with its Holster Clip. However, taking my Atrix out of the case for car dock navigation or simply hd dock is a pain to the a-....

OK! I remember! (this mojitos won´t help that out... however, mmmmm!) The point of this case for me is to get it fit in the holster clip from seidio active without the case for sure, using trident´s.

Will let you know!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sathelate:
ok, let us know, i just felt in love with the nice "man solid appeal"of the case :D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titusxperia10:
Think it twice

Hey guys,

As you know I ordered this case some time ago, and just received it. And you know what? I´m not in the mood to make a review of it, at the second attempt to open the flap to engage the media/dock mode, one of the strings just broke up, the bottom one, so easy (and I´m a very careful person regarding these matters) without forcing it at all or aplying so much pressure.

So if you want to try for yourself, go for it BUT PLEASE, excercise the most delicate usage if don´t wanna go my way.

So sad...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panflute:
trident aegis

First, this case is on sale at Amazon for $10 including shipping!!

I am impressed with the quality and feel. This origionally sold for around $35 and you get what you pay for. It comes with a screen protector (a dry one) also a covering for the camera lens. I have a plastic plug for the earphone jack I got off ebay for $1.

This is a hard polycarbonite case, not the soft flimsy type, and it is thin yet sturdy and feels and looks great. So far I love it.

If you place your thumb on the center back logo when opening, it opens easily.

If I find any problems or any disappointments I'll post here. But for $10 you can't go wrong.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlie_kilo:
I'm sorry to hear about your bad experince with the case but so glad you are telling about.

There seems to be mixed thoughts on the case. Decided to get the seidio surface as I only hear positive feedback on this.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dual_Everything:
Yeah mine broke at the hinge after a couple of weeks too.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panflute:
best case

I've had almost every case made for the Atrix. The Aegis is by far definitely my favorite because it is small, neat, nice materials, feels good, looks great. Yes the hinge is a bit delicate, but if you CAREFULLY open the case you can avoid breaking the hinge. And even if you break it you can still use the case depending on how bad it breaks. The case is made from a hard polycarbonite material, not a soft rubbery silicone which I got very tired of over time. These cases are on sale on Amazon for $10, down from the regular $30.....cheap. I bought 2 of them just in case. Comes with a dry screen protector and a cleaning micro fiber cloth. Also comes with a camera lens cover but that added fog to the picture when using the flash so I don't use that. This case put new life into my Atrix so I am happy for the time being. I bought silicon covers for the ports off Ebay for a few bucks to keep out dust. Anyway just my opinion on things.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emrebrah:
Well basically I been looking around the whole forum for insecure and secure DUKJ1 files and there all outdated because the hosting site went down.

My phones stats:

Android: 2.3.5

Baseband Version: I9100TDUKJ1

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100TDUKJ1-CL687461 root@DELL136 #2

Build Number: GINGERBREAD.DUKJ1

is it possible to root my phone?

Also I got told to use this CF-Root-SGS2_XW_LUX_KJ1-v5.0-CWM5, is that the best at the moment or is there better?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yes, use the KJ1 CFRoot kernel & follow the flashing instructions in that thread. As Chainfire hosts his own files, you won't have any problems downloading this kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emrebrah:
Wow I thought it would have been heaps more technical then that, I also ordered a USB Jig from ebay just incase. Thanks mate I really appreciate it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Nah, pretty easy. 10 steps or so, follow those to the letter & you shouldn't have any probs & will have a rooted phone in a few minutes.

Good move getting a jig early in the piece too :) Makes removing the yellow boot triangle easy (you don't have to fiddle around & flash stock kernels, etc, etc) & if you ever need to send the phone in for warranty service you can reset the flash counter in seconds.

No worries ;) Post in here if you have any dramas.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emrebrah:
The root was fine, but one quick question is it possible to remove preinstalled apps off my phone? There pretty annoying..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Good. Glad the root went smoothly ;)

Yep. You need to get an app like Titanium Pro or Gemini App Manager from the Market (there are others both free & paid). These apps enable you to freeze (which I recommend) or uninstall apps you don't want/like.

This thread is a good one which will give you an idea of what's safe to freeze/remove and what isn't. There should also be a link to a spreadsheet of same somewhere in that thread as well.

Edit to add - This thread is also a good reference for AU SGS2 users.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
There is an app called quarantine or something like that which will also let you "freeze" bloatware apps. It's free but I recommend buying titanium backup.

Hey guys,

I'm a Vodafone user in Australia and played around with my Galaxy s2 (in terms of rooting etc.) when I first got it. Since then, I decided it did what I needed it to do and haven't touched it. I have completely forgotten how this all works, so a quick reminder on where to download kernels/updates would be great! Are we still using Odin??

i can place the phone back into downloading mode but that is about it.

Phone is DUKj1

flashed using CF Root as in this thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Boot into recovery (turn phone off, hold power/home/volume up), do a wipe/factory reset). If you can't do that, have a look at the Bootloop thread. If you can't get into recovery, your best bet would be to flash a stock rom & start with a clean slate. If you do go down that path, get the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on here/Google) & download the latest Voda stock ICS rom.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spycity:
First attempted wipe/factory reset and reboot, problem still remained.:eek:

Downloaded VillainROM-SGS2-V1.1.tar.md5 and used Odin3 to reflash, phone rebooted and works:good:, although now showing VillainROM 1.1 under build instead of breadcrumb, what are you thoughts about this?

i still want to root this phone, any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Um... downloading and installing VillianRom 1.1 made your build show VillainROM 1.1 instead of breadcrumb? Seriously? Of course it will show the version of what you flashed. :confused: And what is breadcrumb?

Also, VillianROM is pre-rooted, I believe.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awiklendt:
My phone, also Samsung Galaxy S2 with Vodafone Australia, was originally a DUKJ1 but has been updated to the new 4.1.2 android via vodafone's official OTA updates. this has subsequently killed my GPS. I have found a solution to fix the GPS, but it requires me to root my phone (http://www.notaboutthenumbers.com/2012/01/19/samsung-galaxy-s2-gps-problem-solved/). Of course, I did not realise my GPS was broken until i went on an interstate trip this weekend - so, major inconvenience/stress there that should never have happened (modern technology, eh?).

I am confident rooting will be ok, but now that my phone has been updated, it is no longer DUKJ1, it is now LS3 and i cannot find a kernel for it (in neither XDA, Google, nor http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399). Android enthusiasts page had this to say to someone in a situation like mine: http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...-galaxy-s2-with-unconventional-kernel-version (summary: just use a 'many' method - which would be??).

Any ideas? Can i still use the DUKJ1 file, or is the difference between different versions of firmware like the difference between, say, windows XP and Vista. in essence, will it brick my phone to use DUKJ1? Is there a secret trick for finding the right kernel to download? edit: just saw this, can i use it? is it generic (a 'many' method)? > http://www.gokhanmoral.com/?cat=5 | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOaTscV92gU)

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yes. That version of Siyah should work just fine with the Android version you're currently running.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awiklendt:
Awesome! thanks for the quick reply. Just done it (as per the sihay youtube video) and it is rooted :)

Now to try the GPS fix.... which is a no-go, unfortunately. I have come across the same issue as other users of that app, which is that both the 'enable' and 'disable' of static navigation are both greyed out and the model number is not detected by the app (even though mine is the same as in the market screenshots!)

Well, at least i have made the plunge into rooted S2. hopefully i can find another GPS solution soon.

Thanks!

Can anyone confirm that touch screen problems are fixed I.e. during games like shadow gun?. Thank you
[Acer Iconia A500] Ritesh:
First, thanks Vache for bringing this nice leak.

The screen orientation issue appears to be fixed. For example, in earlier leaks, if you click on a vertical picture in GooglePlay the screen orientation changes to vertical and does not move back to horizontal. Not any more, its fixed.

I haven't faced any issues with touch screen. It responds fast, is accurate, and no lag on the back button. I did not try ShadowGun.

After about 5 hours of use (Screen on 1:15 hrs), the battery drained 15%. I consider that as observable improvement over last leak.

The keyboard had a lag in earlier leaks, not any more.

Memory consumption has increased. Right now I am at 416 used after 5-6 hours, as compared to 340-360 used earlier even after a day of use.
