[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrmonkey3319:
I've got this installed (Sky-ICS, 7.4): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20451023

The thing is, there are some parts of the flashed theme I really don't like. Just little things. For example, on the bubbles that represent what home screen you are on have little numbers on them that look ugly, and I don't like the Market theme, and the power-button-holding menu's icons I don't care for. Is there an easy way to change specific parts of the theme back to stock Skyrocket? I figured out how to flash the battery back to regular, but that was obvious and on the front page of the Sky-ICS thread. Is there like a settings panel for the theme?

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm new to Android and to these forums, and I've been searching around but haven't really found anything. Thanks!

You just have to go back to the rogers.

When you back up your phone to nandroid, you can just upload the saved rom back onto your device as good as new! :]

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Renegade1994:
Okay let me start off by saying I'm no stranger to rooting or ROMs. I have had my Infuse for a few months now and I have rooted it successfully and tried several different ROMs. Currently the phone is on stock 2.2.1 rooted via superoneclick. I have already tried GTG's Ultimate Unbrick a few times to resolve the issue and it hasn't helped....and, yes, I did a factory reset as well. Right now what is happening is that the phone is booting through to the AT&T screen and then restarting again in a constant loop. What is weird is that if I play with the buttons on the phone at the bottom while on the AT&T screen it will sometimes boot all the way through and be okay and operate normally. If I push power and set it on the table and leave it alone it will just keep looping no matter how long I leave it. Weirdest thing I've run in to. I'm guessing it's a hardware issue. Any ideas anyone?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Renegade1994:
I should add that	I was not doing anything....flashing or otherwise. I had just downloaded TSF Shell from the market. I have used it before on the same ROM without issue. In fact, I hadn't flashed anything new since the last time I used it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] vanthax:
well... if it isnt a bad flash, since you say you hae falshed many times before... maybe your phones flash memory is messed up. It could also be a partion layout error... if you have tried the pit reflash, and still have no luck... do as I did with a Motorola Defy... my friend trued to flash too many times and ended up damaging the memory so i just flashe da stock rom and even though it bootlooped, i turned it into warranty i my friend got a new phone in a matter of days... i dont know how it is where your from but at least here in Puerto Rico it did the job for me.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] balorok:
Just a quick compare/contrast of these two cases.

Similarities: Size, weight, thickness, slickness (neither are what I'd call textured to help grip). Tested the SGP on both a white and black note, and it provides better grip than case-less white, but worst grip than case-less black. I'd assume the same would be true of the boxwave. Both are easy to remove, though SGP is marginally easier because it is more flexible.

Spigen SGP - Of those two, this was the looser fitting. By no means loose, but not as snug as the Boxwave. Material is a "softer" plastic that boxwave. Quality is higher on the SGP. Standby and volume rocker are easier to press (almost too easy...I think it puts slight pressure on them by itself, because it seems to be easier to accidentally hit the buttons with the case on, as in the sensitivity is increased. White color is kind of "pearlescent" with a shimmery glittery look.

Boxwave - Better fit. Materials used are a little more "firm" SGP is more "rubbery" than this case. I haven't dropped the phone, so I couldn't say which would hold up better. Quality seems a little inferior on this case, with a noticeable ridge where the two halves of plastic were joined. Back is some sort of weird transparent frost color, so keep that in mind (white phone on white border and black phone on black border look good though - personal opinion)

Spigen was $24.99 with free screen protector

Boxwave was $9.99

SGP will sag up from heat. its a beautiful case but has the design flaw, the rubber part will not hold up for more than a month.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edftw:
I'm using the SGP case (white) and it seems to hold up well from day-to-day use. As OP mentioned, the TPU material is high quality and very resilient. However, the white easily attracts jean stain. The inner four edges of my case are all stained.

Hi guys,

I have got a Wildfire S branded Orange FR, as well, but i cannot unlock the bootloader.

-I have tried the htcdev.com methode, but the command fastboot eom get_identifier_token failed: (bootloader err command error)

- I have tried to update my phone, but there are "no update available on your phone". I cannot update my phone by using the htcdev RUU Orange FR 2.14.73.1 PG7610000.

-I flashed the PG76IMG.zip file which i founded on another forum. But the command (fastboot eom get_identfier_token, still failed), nothing seems to work...

What can i do to unlock my phone?

Thanks to all

What error you got after updating it with htcdev ruu?
[HTC Wildfire S] seaskyways:
HAHA ! man , you have to upgrade your hboot to the latest which is either 1.08.0099 or 1.09.0099 ... If you follow the HTCdev tutorial well you can get the unlocked bootloader .... and make sure you titanium backup your phone , cuz after unlock you lose everything on the phone , so use my method to Temproot your phone and then backup it !

Hi all,

There is any way how to change our default lockscreen without using additional sofware like widget locker?im bored with samsung default lockscreen...want to change it to froyo or ics lockscreen..thank you
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] darthbii:

To date, you can only change it with an additional app. Cheers.

Hmm, AFAIK, there's no other choice than install an additional locker app.

If you mean you don't want to buy Widget Locker as your additional app, then there are a few free and amazing lock apps on the Market/Google Play, like Go Locker and MiLocker. You should go try it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyBasil:
I have searched a lot of threads and post about bricks before posting here. It would appear that my problem is a unique combination of a lot issues.

Detailed Explanation :

I am using a Samsung Galaxy S II (GT-I9001) with the Omega Custom ROM

[ROM][XXLPH][05Mar]◄Omega ICS v3.2►.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1489197

It was working perfectly fine for a week.

Then suddenly is stopped responding and on reboot , it just showed the Samsung start screen with the yellow triangle and exclamation.

I entered Recovery Mode and tried to restore a backup but it failed. I also tried to install the same ROM again (install from SD card) with CWM from recovery but it stopped halfway and failed to respond for over 2 hours.

With no choice but to pull the battery I did so but now Recovery Mode has stopped working. Just get the same loading screen with Samsung and yellow triangle.

However I was not worried because DOWNLOAD mode was still working. I tried flashing a stock firmware using ODIN but it stopped responding. I waited for an hour and pulled the plug.

Download mode is still working so I tried different stock rom with both single file versions (PDA) and the 3 file versions (PDA,PHONE and CSC) with pit and repartition but all stop responding after a while.

It stops at cache.img for the single file ROMs and for the 3 file roms with pit it stops responding at SET PIT File. DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET. I also tried Lightening Rom and that stopped at factory.fs NAND Write.

I checked and double checked all drivers, chaged USB ports and tried reflashing a number of times.

Now when I try to boot or enter recovery I get the message "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"

Kies is able to recognize the device but it tries to connect and then says "The device has stopped responding. Reboot to fix this issue" So I am unable to recover firmware using Kies.

TLDR :

There are no driver issues or interference between Kies and Odin. The device is easily recognized and download mode is working. Just unable to flash back to stock rom using odin, unable to boot or enter recovery mode.

Right now the only consolation is that download mode is still working but I am unable to flash anything. Also I had to get stock roms form external sites and smafirmware.com because the Official Firmware Links are from multiupload and they do not work.

Are there any mirrors for the official stock ROMS?

I am trying to flash different roms with ODIN and hoping for something to happen.

Suggestions/Solution to this unique problem will be much appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S@!n:
This is an unusual problem.

Try to flash the Kernel only via Odin.

Do let me know if you succeed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyBasil:
I am now using only ODIN. When you say Kernel I assume just the small stock Kernel File (5-10 MB) and not the entire ROM (~350 MB)

In download mode, in the top left corner, the current Binary was show as "Custom"

I used ODIN to flash Stock Kernel (Kernel_I9100XWKF3) and this was the progress:

Firmware Update Start..

zImage

NAND Write Start..

Now it stops responding (waited 20 mins ) but now the Current Binary is shown as "SAMSUNG OFFICIAL"

However, I am still unable to flash a complete stock ROM and cannot boot or enter recovery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Stock firmwares are available at samfirmware.com. Try one from there. Once you flash, do a full wipe/factory reset. Seems you'll always have to do this when going from ICS to Gingerbread.

Also, from your post above, it sounds like you are still on an ICS ROM (XXLPH), and tried flashing a Gingerbread kernel (XWKF3). This will never work...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyBasil:
I tried firmwares from samfirmware.com. The problem is that I am unable to complete the flash process as odin always gets stuck at some point (Mostly KERNEL Stage) .

<ID:0/010> Odin v.3 engine (ID:10)..

<ID:0/010> File analysis..

<ID:0/010> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/010> Initialzation..

<ID:0/010> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/010> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/010> boot.bin

<ID:0/010> NAND Write Start!!

<ID:0/010> Sbl.bin

<ID:0/010> param.lfs

<ID:0/010> zImage

It stops here.Unless I complete a flash I cannot full wipe/factory reset.

Also, I tried flashing an older XWKE8 Rom from samfirmware and the message "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" has disappeared. Now when I try to boot or enter recovery there is just a mobile icon and a PC icon connected my an exclamation mark inside an orange triangle

Like you said, it may be because I was on an ICS ROM and then tried to switch to Gingerbread. If So, What ROM do I try to flash now?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Have a search for the GB bootloader and try flashing just that first .

GT-I9100_OLD_BOOTLOADER is the name of the file .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyBasil:
Ok I got the bootloader and flashed it using ODIN. This is the first file that ODIN was finally successful in flashing. Thanks.

Something has changed. There is no longer a semi brick screen with the icons previously mentioned.The device now displays the boot screen showing "Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100" There is NO YELLOW TRIANGLE now. Finally some Progress. But it is stuck on this screen. Still no Recovery mode or normal boot.

This has however given me some hope. What do I do next?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S@!n:
Try a custom kernel i.e.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/55089648/Siyah-v2.5.2.tar

download an unrar it.

Flash it with Odin.

Hopefully it works
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
If you have download mode just flash a stock rom if no download mode grab a USB recovery jig from ebay etc .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyBasil:
Tried flashing this. It get stuck at this stage :

<ID:0/006> Odin v.3 engine (ID:6)..

<ID:0/006> File analysis..

<ID:0/006> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/006> Initialzation..

<ID:0/006> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/006> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/006> zImage

<ID:0/006> NAND Write Start!!

Actually all kernels I have tried so far are getting stuck at this stage.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Dude. It still looks like he hasn't flashed a gingerbread firmware successfully yet. Which means he's really still on ICS. Siyah doesn't support ICS yet.

And typically, flashing only a kernel when in a situation as he describes won't get you out of that situation. Unless the reason you got into that situation in the first place was by flashing a kernel that wasn't meant for you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyBasil:
There was never any problem in getting into download mode. The actual problem is that ODIN gets stuck at some stage when I try to flash anything. I am unable to complete the flash.

The only success was the old bootloader which you suggested. Other than that all other kernels/roms get stuck at some point.

Most other posts/threads say that I will be fine as long as download mode is working. It is, but I am still unable to flash anything as ODIN keeps getting stuck.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Thoughts .

A guess is that something broke using PIT and repartition .

Rom download faulty no you have tried to many .

Bootloader flashes yes so Odin works .

Kies is not running in the task bar is it .

You are using mainboard USB port and Samsung cable .

If it was my phone it would be a service centre job but i would probably try just flashing a CWM and root kernel first to try and get recovery mode to format the system data and cache .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Other possibilities for a stuck flash:

1. Bad cable

2. Cable plugged into a USB hub instead of directly into USB port on PC

3. Cable plugged into a USB passthrough (like keyboard) instead of directly into USB port on PC

EDIT: whoops, JJEgan mentioned bad cable and direct USB connection in his post above.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyBasil:
Thanks for your comments.

I am using the Original Samsung Cable and quite sure it has no problems. Also it is directly connected to my Laptop. And I have made sure there is no interference between Kies and Odin.

Maybe something broke in PIT and repartition, but i can still enter download mode. So I should be able to flash something right?

Not looking forward to taking it to the service center as I have will need to reset my flash counter. I may have to do that as a last resort but i'm hoping something will successfully flash. Like I said, I am hanging onto the fact that Download mode still works.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Hold up. Two things:

1. I just re-read your first post, and you mentioned GT-I9001, which is the Galaxy S plus... which is not the same as the GT-I9100, which is the Galaxy SII international edition. Is this a typo?

2. Have you been putting the .PIT file each time you flash? If so, what .PIT file are you putting, and where did you get it? Could be you flashed using an incorrect .PIT file, and need the right one.

Edit to add: you really don't have to put the .PIT file when you flash unless you ABSOLUTELY have to. I've flashed several times and not once used a .PIT file.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyBasil:
Sorry this was a typo. It is the GT-I9100 - Galaxy S II international edition.

I used the .PIT file and checked repartition whenever it was available with Stock Kernel. ie it came along with the PDA,PHONE and CSC files.

I also tried without the PIT file (No repartition). I did not use any incorrect file.

However, I was unable to do any successful flash. ODIN would stop responding before the PIT flash was completed. if there was no .PIT files it would stop at NAND write at cache.img or zImage
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Ok... you said you're using original Samsung USB and you're quite sure it has no problems... but have you tried a different cable? It doesn't have to necessarily be the original Samsung cable. I use a generic micro USB cable for my flashes, and it works fine. Could be the cable went bad... or try a different USB port on your laptop. Maybe the port went bad.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyBasil:
Yes tried another cable as well as different ports. This should not be any problem as i am able to successfully flash bootloaders. Any other type of file, ODIN pauses at some stage and does not respond.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Hmm... could possibly be a corrupted download... try redownloading the files you are flashing?
