i9100P

S2 running ICS 4.0.4

baseband version

: I9100PBVLPB

build number

: IMM76D.BVLPC

I want to know HOW to root my phone and or update it to android

Jellybean.

Basically I dont know anything about rooting or updating apart from using samsung kies which i used to update my phone from Gingerbread to ICS. What do I need to do? thanks.

Hi!

Since I am a new member, I can't post you a link to the guide I used, back when I rooted my SGSII. Instead I'm just gonna explain how to find it using Google:

First search for "galaxys2root.com". Go to the site. At the very top there's a header saying "How to Root Galaxy S2!". A few lines down it reads "This is for Gingerbread ONLY, for ICS root method, see How to Root Galaxy". Click the link. That's your guide! :)

I remember it as being very straight forward and very easy, compared to other phones I've rooted! :)

So go ahead, and good luck with your NEW phone! ;)

Cheers

Are you sure this is correct as my model is an Orange UK model. I9100P not I9100? Will it make any difference? Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] daviq:
I am sorry, I didn't see the "P" in there.. But hey, I found this for you instead:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1640442

I think post #6 says it all. Hope this helps! And sorry again for not reading your question properly. :)

Edit: I just did some more searching. I'm pretty sure you can just go ahead and use this guide, but when you flash a new ROM just make sure it's made for the i9100 and NOT the i9100G. Furthermore you will initially lose the NFC capability of your phone. You should however be able to reestablish this by flashing a modification after you've flashed your ROM.

Hello

I was using Revolver ICS beta. Wanted get back to the stock rom since it is avalible already. Installed Strock 3.2 first - my build is now WW_eepad-8.6.5.13-20110925

Device won't update to ICS - keeps saying that there is no update avalible despite the ICS is already hosted on asus.com

What should I do?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] oldcpu:
just wait

Just wait. It will show up eventually. In the mean time, don't worry about. Many users are reporting problems with ICS, while many others report it works fine. Maybe by the time you see the update, more fixes will be in place in the firmware.

The problem is only a small % provide details as to their TF-101 version and how they installed, so most of the threads commenting on non-functionality are more rants than threads that can help draw an assessment as to why some ICS updates work and some do not.

The ICS update has thus far worked for me: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23625633&postcount=124 on my B70 TF101 with the IML74K.us_epad-9.2.1.17-20120312 update (pushed as a firmware update , where my TF-101 was purchased in the USA, but it is being used in Germany).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mrevankyle:
Download the official ICS from the asus website and put it on your sdcard then reboot you sould get a notification that it has been downloaded tap that and hit install and it should work
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Xylian:
Downloaded ICS from asus website, put it on MICRO SD, restarted - no prompt. So I unpackerd the rar from the website and repeat - no prompt aswell
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Woody:
Most likely bc you have a custom recovery since you flashed Revolver. Go the Epic Noob Guide by Luna_666 and there is a link to the Unlockr where your can get the stock recovery.

Edit::I found it and linked them both for you.

Hi!

After Updating to OS 7.10.8107.79 and Firmware 2250.21.21201.401 (Internet Sharing Update) I constantly have problems with my Internet.

If I turn on WiFi and leave Mobile Data on, pages in IE take ages to load and after finishing they just stay white. People Hub will also take forever to load, and there will not be any new newsfeed. :mad:

As soon as I turn off either Wifi oder Mobile Data everything works just as expected. If there is no Wifi signal and Wifi and MobileData is on everything works also just fine.

Anyone else experiencing the same?

BTW: Yes I did try a hard Reset, and yes it did solve the problem, but as soon as i used Internet Sharing again, everything went back to as it was before, and I don't want to reset my device every time I use Internet Sharing :mad:

Just got my phone yesterday from dailysteals. BNIB sealed stickers and all.

Today about 10 minutes into a call my earpiece just died and hasn't been able to work since. I've tried battery pull, factory reset, plugging in headphones etc.

I can only make calls using headphones or speakerphone.

Anyone else had this issue? Any ideas? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VaKo:
Either return it to the shop for a refund/replacement or contact Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
I just emailed dailysteals...I doubt they'll be able to help and already contact Samsung US and was told they don't support this phone so was told to contact Samsung UK instead.

Phone's box is in polish which means I may be able to do it through samsung in poland using my girlfriends family as the middle man, they live in poland.

But I was more-so inquiring if anyone is familiar with this issue of the earpiece just dying. Was more-so hoping it was software issue as opposed to hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinkXDA:
By earpiece I assume you mean the included headset? If so, have you make certain it’s plugged in all the way? I had some frustration here initially as the jack on my phone is a bit tight and requires a bit of force before my headset would “click in” fully. That said, all Dailysteals sales are final—so if it’s just a problem with the included headset, toss it and buy another.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KLUVJ:
lol, he means the actual earpiece u use when u put the phone up to ur head to make a call. as for OP, try calling samsung again, and when they ask for proof of purchase, send them the daily streals reciept or something, i bought my phone off kijiji in canada, which is basically a local craiglist, and the phone was a telus phone. so i just popped into a telus place and ask them to pull up the information on this phone....and they just handed me a product care form, which i scaned to samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
Samsung will have absolutely nothing to do with a phone sold from the grey market which is what daily steals is considered no matter which country your in, daily steals says that they will replace it if something is wrong though it will probably only take 5 months though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
As expected Samsung US has zero support/warranty for the device. They told me to get in touch with Samsung UK. I also sent a message to Samsung headquarters and they told me the warranty only applies to country of origin, in this case my phone is from Poland. I just emailed Samsung Poland and will await their reply. I told them the phone was a gift from my girlfriend who got it for me while she was visiting her family in Poland. Hopefully this story fairs a bit better than "i bought it off dailysteals." Worst case scenario my girlfriends aunt lives in Poland and she'd be able to make the warranty claim for me within the actual country.

I also emailed dailysteals...they actually got back to me last week regarding shipping in about a day or two so they aren't entirely too bad regarding emails. Hopefully they'd be willing to swap the unit for another. If not it looks like this phone is going to be flying to Poland which seems like its going to take forever going that route.

Last but not least, the dailysteals thing was paid with paypal. I'll give dailysteals a few days to make good on this but I also have the option to do a paypal dispute and try to get my money back since I was essentially sent a broken phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
Got a reply from Samsung Poland...gota give them a call tomorrow but based on what I told them on email they gave me an address to ship my phone with my warranty card and proof of purchase.

I looked up ear speaker replacements and turns out they are $4 bucks online lol. Do you guys think its worth paying for shipping from Miami to Poland or is it a better route to order the piece and have a local phone repair shop fix it for me? It may also be just a lose connect for the ear speaker.

Looks like I just got Samsung'd
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Melhouse:
Could be that you got the same problem as I have. My phone thinks that I have headphones plugged in, and routes all sound except notification sounds to the non-existing earphone.

Do you got notification sounds through the speakers, but no audio from games or music apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ad1tya:
I have this exact same problem.

The Mic nor the earpiece works, but as soon as I hit the speaker button, the mic and speaker starts working.

The screen also doesn't go off, if you I put it next to my ear. So it looks like it thinks that headphones are plugged in.

Nothing seems to fix it.

Tried 3 ROM's. AOKP, Apex and Stock, with different radio's too. (Stock 4.0.2 off of googles website, uses XXKK6, while I tried XXKL1 on AOKP and Apex).

I'm stumped. I can't send it back, since I live in India, and I bought it through Negri Electronics in USA, who must have got it from god knows where.

What can I do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
Nah my speakerphone and headphones act right. The issue is my actual earpiece speaker is dead. I actually took it to a phone repair place here called 'ubreakifix' and they were able to take a look without messing with any of the warranty stickers. They ordered the part for me and should be here next week and it's $40 with labor included + 90day warranty on part.

Probably would cost me that much to ship to Samsung Poland alone lol.

Also for you guys stuck in headset mode try getting this widget from android market called toggleheadset2...i've read it's been able to get a few different models of phones out of being stuck in headphone mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ad1tya:
Do you guys think replacing the Earpiece would fix the problem?..

It is just a 4$ part after all? http://www.parts4repair.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-earpiece-speaker/ or http://www.truesupplier.com/oem-sam...rpiece-speaker-replacement-part-pr-29955.html

Either of these sites trustable?

Looks fairly easy to replace the Earpiece on iFixit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
That's what I'm doing but having a cellphone repair place do it for me. They have to order the part since they have their own distributor. In my case I think it's definitely just a dead speaker but for the other guys posting here it seems they are stuck in headphone mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ad1tya:
I wonder if replacing the speaker doesn't fix it, what will :/..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Melhouse:
Try my software "fix": http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22244838&postcount=8 This forces the audio to the earpiece instead of the headphone, and does this on boot and each call you place or receive. Please tell if this solves it. Using the app you can also force audio to the headphones and speaker. Consider this app a workaround for a faulty heaphone sensor.

Replacing the speaker will not work if the headphone port is the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
Just came back from the phone repair shop with some bad news. Turns out the replacement ear speaker piece available online is not entirely the same as the one inside the phone. Particularly the replacement has a flex ribbon where the one inside the phone is attached to a plastic that snaps onto the board. Additionally the writing on the part itself seems like its different model numbers. Any suggestions?

Here are the two pictures comparing:

Original

Replacement

Ironically...the CDMA ear speaker resembles the original more...has the similar plastic attatchment. Do you guys think its worth the try?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Melhouse:
Have you tried my software solution? I'm not entirely sure this is a hardware issue..

Just start the app and see if you can make phone calls.

*Edit: Seems like you have tried the toggleheadhpone widget which should do the same thing, but I know my app works on the Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
I'll give it a try although I haven't been having the same symptoms as some of the others here. All my notifications work fine through my large speaker and media plays through it fine too. Mic works no matter if I'm on regular, headset, or large speaker which lead me to believe I may have just a bad speaker.

*Edit: not working for me...definitely think it's hardware fault
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
Just a quick update on this incase anyone has same issue. Daily steals offered a refund after a few emails. They sent a form I have to fill out and request a replacement or refund. If no replacement is available I get a refund. I'm thinking (and hoping) they have replacements available since they have done the deals again seems like they have a stock.

I also finally got in touch with samsung in Poland (I live in US but my nexus is polish). They gave me an address to send the phone to in Poland for a free repair.

So it seems like dailysteals does indeed have customer service and it seems like you can still do a samsung warranty claim with the original country...although a bit of an inconvenience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sitaramp:
I have the same issue. I have narrowed it down to be a hardware issue. I got it from dailysteals.com

The replacement speakers don't look like one in the phone.

My only hope is that dailysteals to provide replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sitaramp:
It has been 6 months since bought gnex from dailysteals. I called Samsung, as expected they do not provide any warranty supports for items sold through daily steals. No reply from dailysteals, I tried to contact them through their web support page.

Opening up the gnex need right tools and dexterity. Looking few youtube video helped. I opened up the gnex. The replace ribbon does not match the stock socket.

Next, I am going to order the lte version of replacement part and then see if that works. Or I would have to learn to solder the new speaker to the ribbon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
Yes I took mine originally to ifixit and had them open up and order the part. However the replacement parts found online for ear speaker are old revisions of the piece. The LTE version does look a bit more like it but I am not sure if it'll work. Same goes with soldering...its something to try but not guaranteed to work. I was lucky mine broke within 24 hours of receiving it from daily steals as I was able to get a refund.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sitaramp:
Whoosh, my ear speaker sound is back.

The replacement speaker from gnex lte i515 fits in just right and works as expected!!

I was worried about the whole episode fearing to loose $$ and having bought from it dailysteals.com

I posted this here as a reference for anyone who is in similar uncertainty.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Irwan Fauzi:
Kinda messed up, posted twice..

Ok can someone tell me what is the difference between stock recovery (2.3.5) and cmw recovery? Can i use stock recovery without any problems?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Jinxxed:
Depends on what you want to do with your phone, if you are fine with running stock rom, don't change it as there is no need for it.

CWM is useful when you use custom roms (both for the flash process/wipes and backups/restore), stock recovery is useful for nothing at all in that case.

So, IOW, if you don't intend on using custom roms, stick with stock recovery, if you intend on using custom roms, get CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Lum_Os:
Clockwork mod recovery lets you do things like wipe factory data reset, wipe cache, battery status etc.... and can also install roms from zip files. Stock recovery can't do that. Hope I helped :) Also clockwork mod only works if you are rooted first I belive.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Irwan Fauzi:
Does this mean i need to use custom rom to get cmw? Can i use cmw in stock? I dont want to flash any custom rom yet but i need cmw to flash theme? Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Jinxxed:
You can flash CWM and use stock but i have no idea why you would, you can't use backup or restore and you'll have no use for it what so ever.

You never need to flash a theme, you install it via market or downloaded .apk, if it's a custom theme you need a theme manager and you'll download and install themes via that manager.

You do NOT need CWM for anything you are trying to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Sieglein777:
You can use cwm on stock.

However, the great function isn't working on stock.

It means, even if you use cwm on stock, it has no difference with original (stock) recovery.

CMIIW

If you are going to use CWM anyway, might as well use custom rom...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Irwan Fauzi:
Thanks for the info.. But ill stick with my stock untill i get bored lol.. I like stock rom, its simple..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Irwan Fauzi:
Yea i know i can download lots of launcher for my phone but launcher slow down my phone.. even zeam launcher lags on my mini.. zeam launcher is the fastest i think..

It's great...

Faster than stock...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rek410:
So I've had my phone for about 2 weeks and rooted it on day1 with Calkulin's rom.

I charge overnight and when I wake up after it being plugged infor 6-8hrs or longer, I'm seeing a blue light but the battery is only at about 65% (this happens every night).

If I unplug/plug back into the charger it goes orange again and continues to charge. Then it stops again at 75-80% and I have to do the same thing.

I did try a battery calebration with clockwork recovery when I first flashed the phone. Other than that, I don't know what else to try.

Hi,

You can flash with kernel manager app from google play.But you need kernel manager full for flash from sd card.

One thing you could try is booting into recovery from fastboot mode:

fastboot boot recovery.img

Then reflash the ROM and it should update correctly. Found this tip in the HTC Evo 3D forum.

Bottom line ...

1) Don't use ROM Manager to flash a Temp Recovery

2) Don't use CWM Touch

3) Don't flash a ICS kernel repacked with CWM and use it to wipe any partitions

It's good you asked this question before you hard bricked your phone, but seriously dude, you need to understand what's going on lately if you're going to flash any of the ICS leaks or unofficial CM9.
