[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samhawk:
hi, what's about moto defy?

1-when you flashing your defy to SBF can you flash it back again to another SBF "is any condition"

2-does the Firmware's updating relate to your kernel version and lens color

3-when you installing new android (rom) "update.zip from SD card" can you install again another rom "is any condition"

thank you guys for you are giving me that opportunity:)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vap_66:
1. When flashing a full SBF with RSD Lite you need to be careful about the bootloader version, some don't allow rooting or going back to older versions.

2. These are Android versions, and yes, Gingerbread has a newer kernel and only red lens works with it.

3. Well, you can go from one ROM to another but you need to wipe everything then (Data, Cache and Dalvik cache). If you go from a nightly to another (we're talking about the same ROM here) you need to wipe only Cache and Dalvik cache.

thank you your knowledge is good

i have defy, green lens an i'am now on android 2.2.2

*can i install Gingerbread "CM7"?

thank you again
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_<3er:
Just follow some CM7 guides (lots of them out there)

, make sure you know what you're doing, make a nandroid backup

of current rom and you should be fine
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vap_66:
Sure you can. You'll find the CM7 thread (started by quarx) in the Development section. Instructions are there too. I would've given you the direct link, but I'm posting this from my Defy :D.

From what I remember, since you're on 2.2, you need to root your phone, then install 2nd Init. After that, just copy the CM7 stable .zip and gapps on your SD card and flash them through the bootmenu, after wiping everything (you'll lose all data if it's not backed up with something like Titanium Backup).

LE: Yes, doing a nandroid backup before moving to Gingerbread is a good precaution measure.

what are the most stable and good rom "CM7/MIUI/CM9..."

what do you think by you personal experience
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_<3er:
Stable: cm7

Beautiful: miui

Smooth and reliable: definitely NOT CM7
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vap_66:
I was pleased with the stability of CM7.2 (version from 27 February by maniac).

Now I'm using CM9 (05.03 by quarx, Froyo kernel), and while it has a few bugs it can be used as a day to day ROM :).

You can also flash CM7.2 and then multiboot with CM9, to test both.

Trimis de pe Defy CM9
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samhawk:
thank you, i appreciate

so what do you think is the right one in this case ?

"i mean when you have a green lens and firmware 2.2.2"
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vap_66:
Because you are new to this, you should go for CM7.2 (Android 2.3.7), it's stable and fast.

When you'll learn more about your phone you can flash CM9 (and this ROM is getting better and better with time).

Good luck.

ThANks mAn you'R genius.

i was asking for this stuff before and labsin answer me with "this" but i did not understand these steps "\\5. Choose Install zip from SD Card, select CM7..... .zip and let it finish.

(for CM7: Do 6 again with the gapps zip and the CM7kernel.zip)

6. select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot Now!//"

can you help me!!!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vap_66:
Well, I assume you want to install CM7.2, starting from Froyo.

Step 5 means that you need to flash CM7.zip (stable first, as it includes the CM7 kernel too, then you go with a nightly - I recommend the one from 27 of February by maniac).

Then you need to go back one step and select "choose zip from sd card" again, and select the gapps (the ones from 08.2011 for CM7, you'll find them in the main thread) to flash them too. This is like step 5.1.

Step 6 means you need to Wipe Cache, and after that go to Advanced and select Wipe Dalvik Cache. After these 2 wipes, you can reboot (don't worry, it'll take a around 8 minutes - this is happening for the first boot after wiping cache/Dalvik cache and flashing a new ROM).

But I recommend that you do a nandroid and then wipe everything before flashing CM7 (Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache) and after flashing CM7 and gapps, wipe again only Cache and Dalvik Cache to prevent errors.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samhawk:
thank you vap_66 you are the best

i just now complete the updating as you help me thanks again.

the CM7 latest nightly "CM72-20120304-NIGHTLY-Defy" is wonderful but the WiFi dose not work and the video-camera dose not work too

what do you think
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vap_66:
Good, you made it :D.

I've read that the camera app had some issues in the latest nightlies, but you could try to clear data on it (from Manage Apps - I forgot what it was called in CM7). If not, flash another nightly. I was satisfied with a nightly from 27 February by maniac, you could try that.

What do you mean with "Wifi not working"?

Trimis de pe Defy CM9
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samhawk:
thanks bro

"Wifi not working"***

*when i connect to WiFi, it's connecting "showing name,IP... and looks it's connected" but when i go to the browser or any thing has retaliation to WiFi connection, my defy says no connection, then i back to sitting>wireless...>WiFi settings>"i found my WiFi network are not connected and WiFi scanning!"
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vap_66:
Hm, kinda weird. Did it work before with this wifi network? You could try to forget it and search for it again, this worked once for me. If not, I'm out of ideas - you could try another nightly as an ultimate solution.

Trimis de pe Defy CM9
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_<3er:
Is he on a nightly? I remember the nighties used to have like, massive wifi problems. That's why I used stable instead.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeevydude:
No wifi is weird with that nightly, Epsylon's 0304. I was using it from release until yesterday when I started using the latest kang cherrypick (real stable and reliable for past 30 hours) to do preliminary testing for a White Rabbit 1.4 port to the Bravo.

Btw, wifi and data tethering are the two most important things for me. The wifi problem may have been with how the roms now handle wifi when the screen is off, they disable it until the screen comes back on. Maybe it just didn't initialize? I'd never notice if it ever glitched like that because I use Wifi Keep Alive to keep my wifi on when the screen is off and I'm tethering. Just a thought anyways.

Good luck on your journey into the world of custom roms. Remember, take your time, read carefully, and always nandroid before a flash.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samhawk:
thanks guys i repeat all the steps again, and now it's fine videocam works and WiFi too

Hi

I got hold of a S2 and would like to know if there is a CF-Root option for this phone ... details of the updated phone:

Model: GT-9100G

Android:

2.3.6

Baseband:

I9100GXXKL4

Kernel:

2.6.35.7

dpi@DELL164 #2Build number:

GINGERBREAD.XXLB1
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
No. If you flash I9100 firmware (rom or kernel) on your I9100G you will brick it. Try this thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jopierrelerm:
You mention your links ... but all I see there is:

GT-I9100G_DZKI1_insecure

GT-I9100G_ZCKHI4_insecure

How is this relevant to my version?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
How would I know exactly what kernels are in that thread ? Have you read past the first page or searched the thread ? Thought not :rolleyes: Have you bothered to search for yourself ? Again, I doubt it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jopierrelerm:
It's nice to blast when you have the answers ... the forum is for questions ... even in the last few pages in your thread (as this is one of the latest builds) ... people are asking the same question on the version with no answers from you ... so that is why I asked the question.

If you were looking for a version and didnt know where to find it ... Im sure you would love getting a response like this? ... And I have flashed and rooted my tablet and sgs1 ... for this specific build on the s2 I didnt see it ... so perhaps if its not the biggest amount of brain-drain for you ... please could you provide a link maybe? ... It would others find it fast too ... you do have an extensive number of posts ... and a 1st page find for a new version just helps people looking for it .... what you think?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Me provide a link after that little tanty ? Um, how about no ? Not going to happen.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jopierrelerm:
Bite me ... you just make your own personality super clear ... good luck in your life ... this is just stupid phone which is almost dead anyway .. and you think you are special with your little bit of info ... you're not ..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s8m:
I have the same exact setup as you. Were you able to find out how to root your phone? I search all through that CF-Root thread but can't find a matching kernel... maybe we should try to do a request in that thread for XXKL4?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jopierrelerm:
Hi .. yes I got it sorted (but not wıth the help or direction from the guys above) ... I now have the g version rooted and flashed (althought I have the yellow triangle on boot - Im not worrıed about that, root more ımportant). If you have pre v 2.3.6 then you can root it without using odin. Odin causes the triangle. If you have not udpated to yet and are on 2.3.5 or earlier let me know as there is ways to root and get the Clockworkmod Recovery loaded without using Odin, thus not increasing the binary counter.

I also have the international version which was pre 2.3.6 so I got that rooted etc all fine this way and then flashed it (from the internal SD to ICS 4.0.3 without increasing the counter).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manishdev:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s8m:
Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately my phone is brand new (1 day old) and I installed the latest Samsung OTA update already (stupid, I know) so I am on 2.3.6 with kernel 2.6.35.7 dpi@DELL164 #2 and build XXLB1.

I want to get an ICS ROM running ASAP but I'm only familiar with HTC phones and not Samsung root methods. I'm not sure if I can use SuperOneClick or if I have to use Odin (and which kernel to use?) ... there's a lot of info out there but it's really hard to find someone with my exact model/rev and I don't want to brick my new baby! :)

It sounds like I should use Odin, but could you explain what kernel you used when you rooted? Thanks very much!!

EDIT: Not sure this matters as far as which kernels I can flash, but my baseband is I9100GXXKL4.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jopierrelerm:
Hi ... I had the same concerns ... 1 day old and how not to brick it :) ... In the end I just decided to go at it and get it sorted. I downloaded the following ROM to flash with ODIN (I9100GXWKJ2_I9100GODDKJ2_INU.zip) ... you can get it from hotfile.com (http://hotfile.com/dl/147046000/0697ece/I9100GXWKJ2_I9100GODDKJ2_INU.zip.html) ... I loaded it in Odin (phone in download mode) using the PDA option (if the zip has a password, just use the following as the password: samfirmware.com) ... completed and phone is back ... go back to download mode and get the following kernel (MyGKernelV1.1.1_CWM5 i9100G) from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1327509

Enjoy :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rascal123:
just sharing on how we can remove the yellow triangle on boot of G s2..

>Assuming you have already rooted with any rooted kernel (ex: myGkernel/superatmos kernel)

>Run “HC-ktool”. Tap "Dump current kernel", then Tap "Reboot to Download Mode"

>When in Download Mode, start Odin, connect the phone and flash any stock Samsung kernel. Phone will reboot itself after that.

>Run “ktool” again Tap "Flash kernel from /sdcard/zImage" (zimage should be the zimage file of ur rooted kernel...copy this zImage in sdcard), then Tap "Reboot"...done

I posted on a Google+ post of theirs. If you have Google+ go to their page, and then their post for "status update on nightly builds".

All they said was the skyrocket and the t989 are being worked on, but are farther behind than the standard s2. They also stated that due to computer issues they are behind on builds but in a few weeks they will start to pick up speed.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tiuk:
That means nothing. When GB dropped I had a Captivate. CM6 still hadn't been fully ported (think it was still Alpha, maybe Beta), then CM7 was released for it with CM6 never completed. When CM9 for Captivate dropped, it was already leaps and bounds beyond the then-current release of CM7.

It doesn't make sense to try and finish the previous version when you could start working on the next.

besides quoting a post from March, this is wrong. jomeister is capable of kernel level programming (evervolv) as is he who shall not be named.

We have a current cm9 build, which although labeled alpha, i honestly have no idea why. They are most in humble in stating that, given that with a few hiccups, everyone is functional (wifi, camera, blue tooth, etc...) based of the ICS leaks, and several members, myself included, use it as a dd.

AOKP/MIUI has also been ported from t989, and besides an external sd card mounting issue, is also relatively usable.
