[Motorola Droid RAZR] mediavieja:
Nope, i live in a 3.5g area lol, im actually planing on using the phone in Venezuela not in the states.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vzscrd:
Well, the first thing i should do is ask myself, "what do i need from a smartphone?"

"What are the things i would do with either a RAZR, Photon, or S2 Skyrocket?"

"Am i a gamer? Am i a Music Lover? or simply an average user? Or i am after the looks and build of a phone?"

List them and compare with the 3 different phones you mentioned...

Then if that matches your needs, that is the time to decide if you will have it...

I am an owner of RAZR now, as i also was in a dilemma before betweem Nokia N9, RAZR, and SG Note.. Those were the things i did... And i never regret.... :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sh4itan:
it's no grafics chip issue, cause RAZR is running the same chip like the google Nexus S (PowerVR SGX540). So there's a way to play the Gameloft HD Games:

root your RAZR

install a root browser (e.g. root browser lite)

go to /system

open build.prop

change ro.product.model to "Nexus S"

change ro.product.manufacturer to samsung

reboot

and so you can play gameloft hd games ;)

i'm playing "Order & Chaos online" and "Backstab HD" :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iolinux333:
S2 skyrocket has extremely poor voice quality microphone so people at the other end have a hard time understanding you, which is never mentioned in reviews. Motorola RAZR and Motorola Defy are the two best modern phones for outgoing voice quality. This may or may not be important to you, but is the most important consideration in a phone for me.

Update: Worked for me on my Note

Given the similarity of hardware, i'm inclined to think that the Darkside superwipe tool (CMW tool) from the AT&T skyrocket forum would work for the note. I'm willing to give it a go depending on peoples feedback here. The tool i'm refering to is linked below.

*Added note for clarity: I am not aware of anyone else besides me using this Skyrocket tool on the note - i advise caution, intrepid explorers only! Please use the reference link for guidance on usage:

It makes rom testing that much easier by performing all necessary wipes for a clean install.

Thanks in advance for your input!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] superfire71:
I went ahead and tried it. Seems to work without issue, no errors. Saurom installing now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Coffinfeeder:
His wording isn't very detailed in the thread. Do you put it in the root folder of your internal SD?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] fiveoneooo:
How do you know it worked? Did you flash a rom after or did you apply his update zip and then just reboot and everything was wiped?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] superfire71:
Well, I went from the TPC rom to Saurom, running this CWM darkside install script before Saurom installation. Not only did the new rom install without issue, it did so without inheriting any installs from the tpc rom (which happans when flashing compatable roms over each other w/o wipe). But I didnt run darkside wipe and try to boot, i proceeded with the new rom installation. I took a leap of faith that the "success" messages indicated correctly after the wipe.

As for instructions on how to use, refer to the link in the OP
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] superfire71:
External sd, like you would a rom - runs via CWM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] fiveoneooo:
Glad to hear it works, makes me think more Skyrocket stuff might be compatible or at least easily ported. Only time will tell.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
so, anyone else try this?

on my e4gt, we had caulkins wipe, which was a fantastic tool to run b4 flashing a new rom..hope this is the same type of tool for our Notes!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wuelfman:
worked good for me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] manfly9884:
Same thing. I use Darkside Wipe every time I flash a new ROM with no problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] goresick:
it does work

It works fantastic!:D I dl'd the zip and put it on the root of my external SD. I ran the script, wiped dalvik, and installed The Collective Mesosphere Remix.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Kyaroru79:
It works perfectly fine. I've been using it for the better part of the last year without any issues. I've used it on CWM and TWRP.

I recommend that you use it after you've done your Factory Wipe and wiped Cache/Dalvik x3; cleans everything up nicely for a fresh install. :thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jshinn1:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CB620:
I don't recommend this. I used this and it fried my external memory card. Can't mount it or format it. Thank god it was only a 8gb.

I have used it on the t989 and the skyrocket when i had both with no issues but with my note it damaged my memory card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
I doubt this had anything to do with your memory card problem..I've used this HUNDREDS of times on multiple Galaxy Note phones with ZERO issues..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CB620:
Tell that to the 2 memory cards i fried just to see if it was the wipe. Killed a 8gb and a 1gb after doing the wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vanemburghj:
Have to go with wase on this one, used it everytime I flashed a ROM or prior to nand restore. Works like a charm and never had memory cards issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CB620:
Ok and just like every phone performs different I know what my phone did. Thanks for you guys input.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keuka79:
I'm running the ths build 6.1, flashed gltich B5 for 6.1 and it booted up fine. Went to reboot and now the phone is stuck in the recovery, wiped, both caches, rebooted, still stuck. Restored back up, still just reboots to recovery. This has happened twice. Followed all the instructions. Why can't I flash this kernel.

Should I have flashed another older build of the kernel first then upgraded to the B5?

Can someone please maybe give me a different kernel to flash for the AOKP build as well. I've had poor luck with this rom and glitch and wouldn't mind running something else.

Thanks for the help
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfobrien:
Same thing happened to me first time I flashed 6.5. I forgot to flash build 2 before 6.5, I blamed it on that. Since starting from scratch, adding Build 2 and Glitch my phone is running pretty darn good. Hope this helps.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keuka79:
See I flashed build 2 rather than build 1, due to better results, and it still did this. (Unless you're referring to Glitch Build 2 and not THS) ICS and Glitch v14 seem to be way more involved or complicated than GB and V13. I think I'm just not doing something incorrect.

I know there is other good kernels out there I'd rather run at the moment. I read that the Sephamore Kernel add some Voodoo Fix options like BLN and Voodoo Sound which is all I really care about.

Id rather have Glitch though
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
It sounds like you may have possibly 3-fingered into recovery at some point? That will make you bootloop. Also, you don't want to flash semaphore kernel or any other kernel/rom/whatever that is for a different device, that's pretty much asking for a brick. Glitch is the only custom kernel available on this device for ICS.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keuka79:
I think I honestly just did something out of order. I originally reflashed the nandroid because I lost 3G once the glitch was flashed. I'll have to give it another shot.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neh4pres:
You flashed the wrong glitch... Read more flash less.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadenguy:
I think that may have happened in my pocket. Is there any way out of that if I'm at work? I can't odin until I get home.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Sorry, I don't know of any way to get out of the bootloop short of odin (assuming there was a 3-finger). You'll just want to reflash the CWM4 fixed recovery in odin, then boot into that and try clearing cache/dalvik or just reflash your rom.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadenguy:
That was the only solution, thanks.

hi, i have a nexus s 4g and it has ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.0. when ever i try to boot into recovery by holding the volume up and power buttons at the same time, i get the stock android recovery, then i scroll down to recovery and then a picture of the android comes up, then after that a big yellow triangle with an exclamation point comes up and ClockWorkMod doesnt come up. but sometimes it works. i just want to be absolutely sure that i can boot to recovery so i can recover a nandroid backup when i am flashing roms just in case something goes wrong. please help

fastboot flash recovery http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-crespo4g.img

are you using stock rom? stock rom erases your custom recovery every time you reboot your device.

if you are running stock rom flash this after you flash recovery and your custom recovery will stick
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steineronie:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suncross:
I am having the same problem as the OP, but this post doesn't make any sense to me. It seemed to have worked for him though, so could I ask you to elaborate?

I never had clockworkmod work for me, and I get to the same screen when I use the vol up button and the power button. I am not sure what to do with that file you posted though.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iGoogleNexus:
I had this exact same problem on 2.3 .. I'd have to flash CWM everytime I wanted something flashed. If it doesn't do it the first time and it shows u the stock recovery, reboot and open CWM and flash again. Then flash the Fix and ull be fine . For me it fixed itself once I got to 4.0.x

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Reason: on a stock ROM the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh script will replace any custom recovery on each boot. Feel free to rename or delete this file, the next recovery you flash will stick until you flash another Stock ROM.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsxed:
I know this is a little bit of a older post but it seems relevant. I have a epoc 4g touch running AOKP Milestone 5 and I am unable to make CWM Stick keeps reverting to the stock android recovery. Any Ideas?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Well i don't have an Epic 4G Touch so i can't say for sure, but it's probably exactly what i said before. Rename or delete the file: /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

No harm will be done, all the script does is replace the stock recovery on boot if it finds that a non-stock one is present. You can do this with ES File explorer, FX or whatever file manager you please (or terminal if you know how).

Was attempting to update my dads phone to the latest cm9 over at rootz ...hes running blend ics, i booted into recovery and flashed cm9 and gapps and rebooted to black screen with only the blue led? I know your supposed to have stock cwm and i flashed in rouge is this my issue? No recovery, download mode, or even a bootloop just a black screen with a solid blue led...:-( im not terribly worried as im a tech at an indirect store and ordered him a new one cas his gps is wonky but i was like 2 seconds from doing the same thing to mine. Am i hard bricked? I dont have a jig, is that my only hope?

Indeed. When i hold vol up and power or vol down and power, the blue led blinks once and stays solid. I no longer have access to either dl or recovery

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] inkedupdave:
This is how you get your phone working after you brick it!!!!

If all u see is the blue light of death.... take your phone to a REAL sprint store... the ones that have the tech support on site, tell them you got an over the air update, went to bed, woke up and ur phone was like that. a jig wont work. they are not going to give you a hard time. as long as your phone is in decent condition... they will charge u 35$ and give u a new epic touch 4g. it happened to me. i dont have insurance, it is covered under the manufactures warranty. so nothing to fear. just have 35$ ready. give thanks

to get the epic 4g on boost you just need cdma, you dont need the android plan. you also need(as far as i know) a Sanyo Incognito phone from boost as your donor phone and you should be fine even if the epic you have is already activated with sprint just if you ever want to get the phone back on sprint save your secret keys(youll understand more when you look at the guides)
