You haven't told us anything whatsoever about your setup/rom/kernel/etc. We're not mind readers :rolleyes:

Try a factory reset in the first instance.

If you're running anything other than stock firmware, go back to stock firmware.

i recomendeed to change your rom..

i think that is a crush from your system, mate..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.MacHack:
About 4 months ago I had exactly the same problem.

Is there Debugging-Mode enabled in you're phone?

Is you're phone rooted?

Try to take out only the SIM Card and then connect it to you're PC. Then turn the S2 on and try to backup all you're data.

If you're phone is rooted, try to boot up in CWM Recovery Mode and go to "advanced" and then "Fix Permissions". It shuold solve you're problem.

If you're phone isn't rooted, then you have to flash a stock or custom ROM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klawz:
Sorry about that man, but I have no idea what my setup/rom/kernel is, don't even know what most of that means. The thing is I can't even go to the settings on my phone to check because the popups won't allow me to.

I am an absolute and toal amateur, any advice at all of how to to that?

I know about technology but not like this. I have no idea what debugging mode/rooted or cwm recovery is. Any chance of explaining it to me in really, REALLY easy terms?

Sorry about my lack of knowledge guys, but I wholeheartedly appreciate you taking the time out to give me a hand.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzari:
1. Try wiping all data (fixed when i had the problem)

1. U need a kernel with CWM recovery (recommend siyah kernel)

2. Install with odin look on these forums for odin dont remember link

3. go to recovery (vol up+home button+power) and wipe data/cache (wipes everything apps, passwords, etc)

4. Try now if works click the thanks button
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.MacHack:
No problem man :-)

Okay...when you have root permissions on youre phone you can write in system files and do other administrative work.

You can root youre phone by flashing a rooted kernel. The kernel is something like the heart of youre Android OS. You have to know some facts about youre S2, to root it successfully.

You have to know which Kernel version is installed at the moment. This information you can find in Settings -> About Phone -> Kernel Version (or something like that...my S2 is in German :D). But when youre phone is bricked or youre system is damaged, its really hard or impossible to find out the kernel version. I think you won't be able to root it successfully :-(

So the only one possibillity to rescue youre S2 is, to flash a new firmware.

Hi guys i want to move a mp3 ringtone to internal storage on my OB also i cant create a folder. Please help me guys i have the latest CM nightly, Thanks in advance!
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Take root explorer or ES File Explorer to do the task. You need to mount your filesystem, to be able to write. Then just Copy and paste it :)
[LG Optimus Black] raduku009:
how do i do that ? i already have root explorer and es file explorer
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
You have to enable it in the settings of ES File Explorer. :-)
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Open ES file manager push menu/options button, settings, scroll down to root explorer, check the box, click allow this app to have SuperUser rights and save the setting (check box), mount datasystem (/ and /system mount) (it s a checkbox below root explorer), copy your file and paste it wherever you want to ;)

poor battery life (~5hrs)

great video tutorial ash!

followed your instructions and was able to get it up and running. i did have to dig through the original thread for how to fix the skype issue though.

just a quick question: i'm experiencing really bad battery life on the note. i'm not doing anything particularly processor or screen intensive, but i'm getting only around 5hrs before i dip down to <30%.

any tips on how to improve this? have there been any updates to this rom?

thanks.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ashwin123:
Unfortunately not bro :(

There are issues with the beta ICS bro, we're waiting for updates now
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] koreanfcow:
the battery issue i was having led to a completely dead (unchargeable) battery that scared the crap out of me. i thought my note had been bricked. i'm still not sure if it's due to the ROM or just a faulty battery. i do know these batteries have some intelligence built in, but i had it go through an entire charge in about 2hrs doing nothing much.

anybody else experience insane battery depletion followed by a bricked battery?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ashwin123:
If you are on stock you might get updates (tho updates might cause loss of root) but id strongly suggest using a rom like check/rocket and use the updates given by the developers... thats a lot better imo

Hope it helps :)

Introduction

Many new users flash Clockwork Mod recovery on thier stock Gingerbread 2.3 roms and then suddenly they realize that they need to root their phone and want to root it. But, when they give it a try they find that they need to have stock recovery to root the device.

And, you shall then need to go through the tedious process of flashing stock firmware just to get back to stock recovery. You will lose all your settings, data, configuration and there are many other drawbacks. But, no more of flashing to stock rom from now on.

With this flashable tar file for stock recovery, you can now be able to revert (or go back) to stock recovery even if you flash CWM recovery with the necessity or going through flashing the whole firmware.

Download :

1. stock-recovery-gt-s5570-yagya.tar.md5
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?f4550044stp9eeg

See, next post for instructions on installing or using it. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yagya:
Instructions on Flashing Stock Recovery!

So, let's begin.

Download Odin Multidownloader v4.38 for GTS5570, Tass_v1.ops and stock GB Recovery if you do not have them already. You can download them from here.

Run Odin Multi downloader v4.38 and select the Tass_v1.ops by clicking OPS button.

Select One Package Option and Click One Package button and select the stock recovery file name (stock-recovery-gt-s5570-yagya.tar.md5) file you downloaded.

Leave other settings to default (i.e. don’t change any other options/settings)

When you are done reboot your phone in download mode (Press Volume Down + Home + Power button to go to download mode)

Connect your phone in download mode to your computer via USB Cable.

When Odin detects your phone (If you see a com port number written in yellow background at the top left, then your phone is detected. View image.), click Start button.

Wait till Odin finishes the job (approx. 3-5 minutes) and when it reports ‘PASS’, you can disconnect your phone.

That's all. You have flashed back to stock recovery without having to flash a whole new firmware on your device.

Now, reboot to recovery mode (press Home + Power button) and see if your recovery changed to stock or not. Don't forget to share the result with us at the post below.

This is only for those who want it so, you can stay back if you don't need it. I want no spam in this thread.

AS you can read here http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/12/rooting-samsung-galaxy-pop-with.html those who doesn't want to install custom rom need stock recovery to root their device since the rooting scripts written till now, only work with stock one.

So, those who flashed CWM recovery but now wants to return to stock recovery since they are not going to flash any custom rom will use this to return to stock GB recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] nishanty13:
Sorry:) . No offence dude.

I didn't mean to be rude. I was just a little off that time.

I was just saying that there would be very little or negligible percentage of people that would go back to stock recovery.

And also if they have flashed GB they would themselves get stock recovery. And I think no CM or custom rom user would prefer stock recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] jdwis:
I guess it would be really very helpful in case if phone has any hardware problem and in warranty, so may be flashing stock recovery and then sending it back would help.

It is helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] nishanty13:
In that case its better to flash stock rom
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yagya:
Well not a problem.

No read carefully what you have written and what I am telling below. Yes, they will get stock recovery after flashing GB. But, the aim/focus here is to get stock recovery with out flashing GB firmware.

If you can get it, then all right. Otherwise, I would suggest us to stop this and leave it here only. :rolleyes:

I wanted to share this since I got few request for this, and it's here now and those who want can use and those who doesn't can simply ignore it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
there is a typo in the first post.

I dont understand, if u want to reduce the tediousness then just make a flashable zip of the recovery. Why odin? They are using a custom recovery after all.

Hold it. There a ppl using cwm on stock roms!! What are they using it for without rfs support?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yagya:
Well, I understand flashing it in CWM is a good idea. So, I will update provide an zip soon.

There's no need to hold it . LOL! :D New users are not learned like you are, so they flash it. Later they want to revert back but find that they will need to flash whole rom , that will erase all data and apps. But, with this they can only change the recovery to stock. :)

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Tech1208:
While I am not thrilled with the stock ROM, I do miss the WIFI HotSpot I was able to enable on my Tilt2. This allows me to use a tablet rather than a smartphone screen. Would someone out here please provide a simple workaround for this one feature. I'm willing to donate as well. While I was very comfortable with the Windows Mobile altering, I am android stupid, yet willing to learn.

This phone is really dragging without it.

Thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
You're not going to find much unless you switch to a custom ROM. The ATT stock ROM is designed to neuter tethering unless you have it on your plan; custom ROMs don't have that check built in.

Before you ask "how do I ____", go read the stickied superguide in the development forum and follow the instructions to the letter.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Tech1208:
I understand your reply, here's what is puzzling me though. If I sign up with AT&T and have to toss my unlimited plan in the process, how do they enable the wifi hotspot option? OTA? If so, perhaps someone who has this option enabled would share their script with a Chef to see what is enabled and how? It has to be something on the device, not the server or tower with AT&T.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jherbold:
If you still have the tilt2, just put the vivid Sim card in the tilt.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Hunt3r.j2:
The easiest solution is to just use a custom ROM, plain and simple.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gfinockio:
I am using DarkRaider's custom ROM, and I still am coming up with an error - something about there being a "temporary network problem", and it won't let me enable the WiFi hotspot.

I'm not with AT&T, and WiFI Hotspot worked just fine with my HTC Aria... so now what?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] JCSantana:
could you tell me what exactly is your set up? i have actually tested that Rom, and i know that with the proper kernel combination you can make tether work,. almost all custom Roms that are base of of holiday, if matched with a good kernel, they are expected to work tether, wifi, ETC.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gfinockio:
I've tried it with the following kernels:

- stock

- Holic

- Koz RC2

- Koz Beta 7

... all flashed through the DarkRaider installation process.

I get the above error when trying to use the WiFi Hotspot option built in. I have one APN put into the system, which worked with my HTC Aria using the built-in Hotspot option before...

I read somewhere that you can edit files using an SQL editor, but the post wasn't detailed enough...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] JCSantana:
i see,. which is interesting of ur set up is that u have actually added an APN setup to that rom... i though that that Rom had its own APN, and they worked pretty good when i tried it,.. anyway.. i am going to flash the rom tonight again and find out exactly how i did it... cuz i have had Tether work for me in that particular room.. and i want to share that with you guys,.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bswann:
Illuminati Rom has working tether and there is nothing special or any work arounds to do. Just flash it and that's it, everything works. I cannot give you the link, you will have to Google it.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gfinockio:
Is it Sense or non-Sense? I'd prefer a Sense ROM.

EDIT: Okay, looked into it a bit more... seems a bit "dated", and in fact I can't find a working link to download it.

I am a bit frustrated, as the DarkRaider ROM feature list says that Hotspot has been fixed... and yet I'm getting this error. I have a feeling it's a setting somewhere I have to edit, but no idea where to start looking without messing up WiFi totally, etc. I use WiFi Hotspot all the time though with my tablet and at work.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bswann:
It is a Sense Rom and it is far from dated. The last update was a couple of days ago and there were actually 2 updates that day.

I don't know where you looked for it but you can only get it from the dev's website. You will have to register and have at least 10 posts to see the download links.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gfinockio:
Just tried it for 20 minutes - found it slow to wake up, still had lots of AT&T apps I'll never use, and it's missing several tweaks the ROMs here have.

But the Hotspot worked.

Hmmm.

EDIT: I'm going back to DarkRaider and I'm going to work harder on getting it to work there. It's a superior ROM.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bswann:
What tweaks is it missing? Did you flash the boot.img in fast boot then the Rom in recovery? Did you reboot it three times before doing anything? It is a stock Rom with enhancements and tweaks, and none of the Roms here have the battery life and support that that one does.

Sent from Illuminati Land.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gfinockio:
Well - I'll keep it in mind, but I found DarkRaider had more options, a faster overall experience (yes, I rebooted a few times). I can't say much about battery life.

It just had too many AT&T apps and not enough other perks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bswann:
Did you fastboot flash the kernel or did you flash it in recovery? I just went and looked at dark raider and aside from the theme elements, Illuminati has everything it does plus tether works. As far as bloat, you can debloat it or do like I do and just hide the apps in the app drawer. The bloat doesn't hurt anything in the Rom itself and you will never run out of space.

I believe it will be your only option if your wanting tether.

Try out Kozmick's Rom, I believe tether worked for me with it.

Sent from Illuminati Land.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gfinockio:
Well - I'm going to try the modified Illuminati ROM and see if I can stomach all the AT&T bloat and issues. The battery life is enticing too, if it's what's promised.

I've tried the Kozmick kernels - no go. Didn't know he had a ROM.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] randong:
Have fun searching for something that's never goin to be there ...you never gave it a chance....plus you said that our rom don't have the tweaks that other roms have here ....Obviously you didn't stick around long enough to find out that wcx.mod build it the only rom that has the tweaks that other roms here wish they had ..enjoy your development here and pray that you get any updates cause the devs here have moved on ....

it's the people like you that help kill this phone's dev community
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bswann:
" issues "? There are not any issues with the Illuminati Rom. The battery life is better than promised.

Word of advice, you don't seem to be making any friends on the only site that has dev for this phone. I would read and try things out for days and not minutes before saying anything negative.

Randong is right in what he said too. Your not gonna find what you want here.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gfinockio:
Yeah - I might have "stepped in it" a bit over there. I thought he was a guy that could take an honest comment, and when I saw how much support everyone was giving him, and his near-instant responses, I realized that perhaps my reservations about the amount of remaining, uh... AT&T-ness of the ROM could be overlooked for something better.

I'm going to go back to it and see what I can do with it instead. You all seem to think it's the best one, and I don't see many other people jumping on here to argue with you...

I can admit when I was wrong. This is most likely one of those times.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gfinockio:
Go figure - after all that drama, the WiFi Hotspot still doesn't work on his modded ROM. Hmmm...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bswann:
You can always debloat the ATT crap. WildChild works hard for his Roms and it shows in their quality, he has been known to put out multiple updates in one day and if there is something he doesn't like he will pull the link and fix it.

His daily driver is a HTC One X and he still puts a lot of time into the Vivid for us.

The members on his site including me are dedicated to him because of the work and the quality of his builds that he does for us. You honestly cannot get a better Rom than his. You might get a de-sensed or one that has more eye-candy here but it will not perform like his.

Not trying to be a **** but..if the wifi hotspots doesn't work then its something you did. Everyone who runs his Rom has working hotspots.

I know your s-off but, you still have to flash the kernel through fastboot. He doesn't include the scripts needed to flash it through recovery so whether your s-on or s-off you still have to flash the kernel through fastboot.

What carrier are you on? You might have to get the apn settings for your carrier. If wifi and data work but tethering doesn't then its a problem with your flashing.

Sent from Illuminati Land.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gfinockio:
I have flashed the ROM using his recovery, and flashed the kernel (and several others) using fastboot.

I'm on MTS - like I said, tethering worked on another phone with the same APN settings. I feel like it's an AT&T conflict - like it's looking for APN setting from AT&T and not finding them. It's one thing for people to say it's working for them with AT&T, but for those of us on other carriers (like Rogers, or others) then I would be curious if it works for them.

EDIT: Just flashed his Generic standard Vivid ROM (Illuminati) without any tweaks, and the Hotspot works perfectly. So the problem is in the tweaks, somewhere it seems. No other changes on my part whatsoever (same APN, same flashing method, etc.). So at least this confirms that the issue isn't with my flashing or carrier, but in the ROMs somewhere...
