Galaxy S series only have 2 phones which is Galaxy S and then Galaxy S2/Galaxy S2 LTE (or Skyrocket in US)...so your reasoning is wrong...

All the other devices only use galaxy..they don't use S with galaxy...every company wants to brand their flagship devices like Sony does with Xperia and LG does with optimus.

Also Droid/My Touch are carrier's names not Manufacturers name...Verizon likes to add droid on all their android phones..so does T Mobile

The reason why Europe, Asia, and Australia get updates first is that they don't have carrier's in between to deal with. In US (and Canada), Carriers controls the future updates along with the manufacturers....even if Samsung provides the updates, ATT needs to approve it too..That's why same series phones (same company) on different carriers gets updates at different times...

As the poster above you said, it would be stupid to release a phone without LTE, when every company around the world is trying to launch it..
[Captivate General] panda_mode:
Compared to motorola and htc, samsung is better at marketing execution despite of the update delays. And I think it's proper to end it with galaxy s 2 because were heading towards android 4.0-4 etc., which has some differences in its look and feel from froyo and gingerbread.
[Captivate General] panda_mode:
Well not all. Many cities around the globe dont have LTE yet. And take sony for example, with xperia ion and xperia S. Both successors of arc, both same processor, but xperia s for europe is only hspa+ whereas ion is LTE. My guess is samsung will go on the safe side to launch with hspa+ in order to keep their devices somewhat 'together' (sorry if I didnt make sense lol). But I do understand why it would be a let down with no LTE
[Captivate General] viny2cool:
atleast we know that US version of SG3 will have LTE, irrespective of the carrier, as all the major carriers in US already have LTE or working to get it..
[Captivate General] panda_mode:
^ There's a possibility samsung will head to that direction too. HSPA+ international, LTE US domestic. Lol with ours and other people's analysis, it looks like samsung is the "Apple" for Android kinda :P

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpopgt:
Hello,

I have just upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S2 from a rooted Desire today, i used this guide to try and root my phone using the T-Mobile recovery but i got a bad flash message at the end of Odin.

When i start my phone up now i get the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.Please select recovery mode in kies and try again"

I shouldn't have rushed into it, i didn't even get my kernel version.

Can someone help please?

Appreciate it.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RorixRebel:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
In that guide, tmobile probably refers to the US tmobile variant. Before you flash anything else check your product code under the battery. This is the I9100 forum.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I think he's safe, and has an I9100... he has a Scottish flag posted, and his profile lists his provider as "United Kingdom - T-Mobile (One2One)".

EDIT: Sorry oinkylicious... I see what you were saying. The guide the OP posted in post #1 for T-Mobile recovery is for USA version of Galaxy SII. You are correct.

jpopgt, looks like you figured it out? You have to be careful when people talk about the "T-Mobile" version of the Galaxy SII... it can get confusing. The T-Mobile USA version of Galaxy SII is the SGH-T989. Totally different phone than the T-Mobile Europe verision, which is the same as the international version. (GT-I9100)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpopgt:
Thank's for the replies....looks like i was flashing the wrong recovery.

Cheers.

Before reflashing the stock firmware maybe try the correct kernal version first. Might be lucky.

[HTC Amaze 4G] sanchitgrover:
Guys n Gals we are all aware that our phone doesnt have much developement ..

We dont even have a moderator now who is actively participating..

We have two major problems

1. No s-off

2. Not much rom developers, kernal developers

A lot of you guys have been doing donations but without any directions..

This thread is to decide what we want more ??

I WOULD LIKE ALL GUYS TO REPLY FOR THIS POLL , THEN AFTER THE RESULT WE WILL TAKE DECISIONS ON DONATIONS FOR S-OFF OR ROM DEVELOPERS??
[HTC Amaze 4G] ali_k182:
both of them!
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
development will stay stagnant without s-off. you want development, you NEED s-off. unless of course you love sense based roms
[HTC Amaze 4G] sanchitgrover:
It depends whats more important to you ?

Sense roms can be awsome too !!

We can donate to rcmix 3d team or some sensation team , who have been doind this thing ??

CAN U GUYS SEARCH FOR A GUY WHO HAS DONE S-off AND ROM DEVELOPMENT BOTH ??
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
we

need

s-off to get better roms. so im going with s-off, then roms lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
This is the best forum site for help with most devices, but this Amaze Forum has really become abandoned by most of the dev community (thanks to the devs still here). But since XBoarder and Binary left, I'm starting to get horrible flashbacks of the Thrive forums that ended up getting buried in the depths of xda, and I've since had to go elsewhere for development. Now I feel, other than NRGZs ROM(s), there isn't much on xda for this device so now I have to go elsewhere for development. It's unfortunate but xda and the whole community purpose is lost imho in the Amaze forums. I miss the mt4g days smh
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
haha yeah I remember the mytouch days, back when I was on the mytouch 3g slide the forum was great, and when I upgraded to the mytouch 4g (when released).. that phone had so many issues though lol, I do miss those days though
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
I here about all the issues, but I've yet to have 1 issue with my (now my sons) black one or my wife's purple. Still running steong
[HTC Amaze 4G] knifeproz:
S-off. I do not enjoy sense as much so I'd prefer s-off first to get it All working
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
I say go with s-off

I regret my amaze just because of development purposes. I love it for what it is though (if that made any sense)

The G2 had so many insanely awesome roms. Miui, all sense types, cm7. EVERYTHING!! =[

Can't wait for the one X to come out to get rid of this amaze. I totally love my phone but I'm a flashaholic so yeah =\
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
well that's what I got from buying it from release, I had the "bad screen" as well as light bleed out of the side of the phone. and the messed up part is even on my amaze I have some light leakage on the left side of my phone.. seems like htc phones problems are ALWAYS with the screen lol.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MentalDeath:
Pretty sure S-off will bring devs, most phones that are S-ON don't get devs til they are s-off
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
agreed. had my glacier for over a year and NEVER had any issues. got a good screen and good emmc and have flashed that sucker hundreds of times without issues. BEST. PHONE. EVER. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Even then, its still a US phone. A TON of devs are overseas. So once we get s=off (which won't happen without tm revolutionary imho) the amount of devs that will come to this phone vs newer phones could be limited.

Agree 100%. I also didn't get it until a couple months after it came out so I'm grateful I got good ones.
[HTC Amaze 4G] adslee:
Not to sound pessimistic guys, but I don't think we're going to be seeing S-Off for the Amaze any time soon :(

Since the HTC One is coming to T-Mobile, I'd imagine a lot of people would jump ship, leaving the Amaze behind with an even smaller community

That being said, S-Off is really the top priority here. It's the only chance for us to get more devs over here
[HTC Amaze 4G] dmunseyautotech:
Why would anyone jump ship to another phone that is locked. They will most likely use the same security or better on it since we haven't hacked the security on the amaze yet.
[HTC Amaze 4G] adslee:
Because it has better hardware? Because it will most likely see Jellybean 5.0 whereas our Amaze will probably not? And most importantly, because it's the first phone HTC is releasing after they admitted that they favored quantity over quality of their phones and will change that in 2012?

The upcoming HTC One series mobile phones will be a part of their flagship phones - there's a reason that they stole the show at MWC, which means that there will be more development for it, resulting in a higher chance of achieving S-Off.

Where have you heard of the HTC Amaze 4G? Have you seen how many devs we have in this section of the XDA forums?
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
they would honestly have to be dumb, or just have spare money. either way, by getting the amaze they should have learned not to get another htc lol.

by the time the one series almost achieves s-off htc will announce another phone. it ALWAYS happens. when I had my mytouch 3g slide it was close to getting s-off then htc announced the mytouch 4g. I jumped to it, then right when I bought that a week or so later I checked on the mytouch 3g slides forum and they just got s-off lol. guess that's just my experience with htc phones though

and wasn't the amaze htcs new flagship phone with the "best camera in the mobile phone market blah blah".. then got discontinued a few months later?
[HTC Amaze 4G] gypsy214:
i say s-off then we could port roms from the sensation or other base htc devices,

and kernels we need to push HTC harder or at least somebody can figure it out better when s-off its available
[HTC Amaze 4G] xxquicksh0txx:
The amaze isn't discontinued... only the "White" version is.

I don't own an Amaze right now, but honestly s-off gets you easier kernel flashing, more devs, but honestly Nrgz is an amazing developer, and Xboarder is doing his stuff too.

Jellybean? Barely any phone has a official Ics right now and everyone is worrying about jellybean..

Think about what the phone is now, a top of the line smart phone from one of the best companies.

Not what it will be in a year.

HTC listened once and unlocked the bootloader, I'm hoping they'll listen again and completely unlock our phones. (Well your phones since my Dinc is S-off) :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] adslee:
So T-Mobile's announcement was to tell us that they're not going to have white backplates anymore?

You'd think no one will care about Jellybean, but trust me, when it gets announced, any phone in the same tier as the Amaze that doesn't get an official release (similar to how the Samsung Galaxy S got Gingerbread, but no official ICS) will have its owners complaining
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
Yeah ive read the thread and everything, someone said they called tmo and they said they are taking it off the shelfs. not just the white versions. that sounds discontinued to me=/

I could care less though, my eyes are on nokia pureview when it comes to wp7
[HTC Amaze 4G] craigtut:
I think the real issue we have is that HTC isn't releasing the wifi driver source with the rest of their source code. From what I have gathered that's whats preventing us from getting aosp kernels working for our phone. They won't release it and I'm not sure we can get it from having s-off either. I think we really need talented coders to help rewrite the modules... I could be wrong cause I'm not a coder but from what I have gathered that's what we will need
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
I am jumping ship, and you are right, also its a world phone like the sensation... So hella dev and more likely for s-off
[HTC Amaze 4G] jmhalder:
I think we need better rom development, primarily, work on AOSP. By having a working kernel for AOSP, we can keep getting software additions and tweeks from CM9.x.x

To everyone that wants S-Off, how is it holding you back? Are you just dying to flash a radio firmware? or can't figure out how to flash the boot partition in fastboot? Their are solutions to either of those. Having a S-On bootloader still gives us access to:

/system

/data

/cache

recovery

/boot

Frankly, having S-Off, if anything, just increases the chance of bricking your device. I don't think people understand that having it doesn't automatically make our phones magically awesome.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sanchitgrover:
there is a lot of confusion about the s-off thing..

i still cant understand , if guys wanted aosp for something looking crappy, why didn't they for the t989 s2?

what i thought was , that most of the people would be asking for SENSE ROMS , with high quality and stuff!! but i see totally opposite of that..

I'LL BE CONTACTING LORD CLOKAN , he is doing some good stuff for the desire hd AOSP ! to ask if it was possible to flash kernals without S-OFF .. and if he can help somehow!
[HTC Amaze 4G] sanchitgrover:
this is a great quote i found :
[HTC Amaze 4G] sanchitgrover:
i think this should clear the doubt of many..

WE DONT NEED S-OFF TO FLASH KERNELS..

STILL WANT S-OFF??
[HTC Amaze 4G] dullhunk:
sanchitgrover: you doing a great job for the amaze community, i don't understand why others dont appreciate..

i think we need developers and s-off is seriously secondary..
[HTC Amaze 4G] knifeproz:
Htc mentioned last week they will never unlock the phone fully and give us the option at htc Dev.reason being is if the phone bricks theyll call HTC etc...and if its not unlocked and you come here to xda and you get the warnings you know its your fault.

Im confused then what this whole s on and s off is..I see everyone says without s off we can't get more devs and ports...but some say you can flash aosp kernels and aosp roms....but wouldnt you need s off to port the kernel and rom? Im not so great at this stuff I'm still learning so if I'm saying something nooby I'm sorry. I've only got experience with hd2 and amaze. But yeah main question: what's different with s-on/s-off
[HTC Amaze 4G] chrispaw:
I understand we don't need S-off to flash kernels, having flashed faux's kernel myself. I'm going to try my hand at cooking up a rom, is there anyway to script a kernel flash, let's say, upon 1st boot?

Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] Opentang:
I've seen several methods for donating $ to get this device off the ground. sanchitgrover - will you let us know the who/what/when/where around donations? Want to make sure we're all aligned and money is going to the proper fund..
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
It would be nice to flash a custom splash screen and flash kernels through recovery personally. Other than that, I don't care THAT much about s=off. I'm sure it might lead to a slight increase in development
[HTC Amaze 4G] sanchitgrover:
sir, currently i have no idea where all the money is going?

with the recent news for the cm9.. i think it will reduce the starvation for the aosp roms..

i think we should find a guy/team who has been successful in porting the sense 3.6/sense 4.0 roms .. then find a way to donate them a device, there a lot of ways we can do that ..
[HTC Amaze 4G] jmhalder:
I think the art of using fastboot is something people should look into, it will let you load a kernel into ram, just for testing, for one boot... or flash recovery, system, data, or boot(kernel)... It's not a hard tool to use, and if you can't deal with a little CLI program like that, and you want S-Off? well, good luck bricking your phone when you flash something that you don't need to, to a partition that you shouldn't be flashing.

it's not hard, add fastboot to your path, 'cd' to the directory with the boot.img, then:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

not hard.

*edit: I know it sounds kinda harsh, I didn't mean to come off that way, but the reality is, you don't need S-off for much, except for EASY flashing of /boot, and for flashing radio firmware by itself. You can flash the kernel with fastboot, and to update to the current radio, just relock, then run the most current RUU, unlock again and flash away.
[HTC Amaze 4G] craigtut:
So I summed a whole bunch of stuff up in a posting about where I think we need to invest research and money. I feel like a lot of people are misinformed on what s-off is and why development is lacking.

[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
It is true that you don't need S-Off to make custom ROMs and kernels but there is a HUGE difference which is why a lot of Devs are not developing. S-Off gives unlimited customization of the ROM, kernel

and

radio! Faux could only do so much with what code he had for the kernel. The only way to get a radio update is through an OTA update. Nobody can customize the radio! This is what is holding Devs back. Anyone (well, a lot of guys) can customize a ROM. Few can customize a kernel. Only a handful can customize the radio and everything else. Without a totally unlocked phone and a huge, worldwide market, that is never going to happen! I still like my Amaze and am very happy with NRG's ROM but any future ICS or AOSP stable development is just not going to happen successfully without the full code from HTC or someone who has managed to hack it. jmho :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] sanchitgrover:
So are u guys ready to donate a phone to a sense developer ??

Should I contact some guys and give you options ??
[HTC Amaze 4G] craigtut:
I'm a little confused... why do you want more Sense developers? We have about 5 Sense 3.0 Roms, a 3.5 Rom, and the OTA for 4.0 will be out by the end of the month (So rumors say).

Why pour more donations into someone who will just bring more of what we already have? What we really need are good coders that will help build a base for the phone that will attract Rom Chefs and Themers. Communities that have strong coders that understand the android system are the ones that are taking off and doing well.

Btw, I love that your stepping up and leading because our forum needs that! We need organization to get this phone going!
[HTC Amaze 4G] sanchitgrover:
Sir, by sense i dont mean, sense 3.0 or sense 3.5 developers.. I mean developers who have been keen to port whatever new comes.. Like sense 4.0/3.6..

If we could wait for htc to release ota, then there is no point of having a development forum..

I wanna do my level best for this community.. I dont dev because of lack of knowledge..

But can atleast try to take the community together in a direction..

What about theDerekJay also. He has a kanged cm7.2 that I used on mt4g that was brilliant also
[HTC Amaze 4G] craigtut:
The problem is that all these great devs can only make sense 3.0/3.5 roms until we get a decent Aosp Kernel working. Unless they have experience doing this then I feel that all these Devs are simply useless. It doesn't matter how many ports they have done if the kernel for the port was first made by a kernel builder.
