[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gay-Lussac:
Hi, I've flashed my S2 (Android 2.3.4) with litening rom (V2.0 XXKG1) a while back.

I've been wanting to root ICS on it with Odin (it's from the UK so I'd use the official firmware from Orange, if there's no better choice), but I'm afraid that since it contains a custom rom that was designed for gingerbread it might have some incompatibility issues.

Do I need to restore my phone to factory settings or can I just root ICS on top of what's already there?

Also, once I root the official new firmware will all those pesky stock apps from samsung come back?

Thanks for any help!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
1) Follow whatever instructions the specific ICS rom has re: flashing it.

If it says it's OK to flash directly from GB, then go for it. If it says do something different, do that. If it doesn't mention flashing something else over the top of GB before flashing the ICS rom, I think you can pretty safely assume you don't need to (unless the dev of the ICS rom expects you to be a mind reader).

2) Re: restoring factory settings first, refer to 1 (but likely for most roms so you don't end up with a lot of FCs on system apps).

3) That will depend on whether the rom you flash has those pesky apps included and whether you need to do a factory reset/wipe or not (refer to 2; likely)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gornor:
Hello,

I have flashed my SG S II with Lite'ning Rom v2.3 XWLP2. Previously i was on a gingerbread previous version of Lite'ning rom, which worked flawlesly for several months.

Everything seemed fine and i restored with Titanium only my missing apps+data (not the system data).

After a few hours, the phone started to at times not be able to see the sd card. More importantly, it would suddenly hung and reboot, appear to be working for a couple of minutes and reboot again. This would happen for 10 mins. Then without changing anything, everything would be normal again for 5-6 hours, after which rinse and repeat.....

Does anybody else have the same problem or did i do something wrong? Could anybody know if fs there anything i could do to fix it other than reflashing again?

Thanks in advance guys...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Factory reset in the first instance, then a reflash with a clean install of everything (No Ti restores).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gay-Lussac:
So basically all I need is to flash a Rom that has been updated to ICS and it will update my phone too? I thought I needed to update the firmware and then flash a Rom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
As I said yesterday, follow whatever specific instructions the rom you're wanting to flash has; for example, CM7 is pretty specific about having to flash the rom twice, CM9 requires a wipe/factory reset if you're coming from another rom.

Rom is another name for firmware.

Modem is separate, a few roms come with a modem & overwrite/replace your existing modem, most do not. Kernels are also included with pretty much all roms & will overwrite/replace your existing kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gay-Lussac:
Hmm I suspected that firmware was the same as Rom but wasn't sure, thanks again.

Thanks for the heads-up, will check them out asap. EDIT: Really ugly ones, was hoping they would be available from the devs themselves

I downloaded TSF illegally, *gasp*, and I tried it out for about an hour and uninstalled it forever...I was completely unimpressed. I think it should be illegal to have something like that for 17 dollars in the Play store with a 15 minute window of use nonetheless. Now they want you to pay for extras? Absolutely ridiculous. Some developers think way too highly of themselves, it's terrible.

Is anyone having any data issues with the i777 CM9 nightly? If so I would like to know how to fix that :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rshak2:
reboot and check your apn

First check if your data is on then check your APN. Make sure you use correct apn and then reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I'm not on the nightly (I built locally) - but no problems with data here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] srter:
I got the data but its incredibly slow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
The default APN is AT&T's wap.cingular APN - it can be very slow for people on HSPA+ ("4G") accounts.

See the General section, there's a thread on APN settings for our device.

If you're

If you're

, there are similar threads with the right files. (someone add a link plox)

And use these files (ADB and Fastboot) so you don't have to install the SDK: View attachment 969322

Follow the steps and you'll be back to stock.

Its been a while since someones posted about this, its not like this is brand new but id like to see if i could get help bringing resolution to this. Ppl who call me or who i call hear themselves echoing like mad, speakerphone seems to stop it, but the only way to make it go away on the handset is to remove the phones case.

Its said the noise reduction feature is the cause, but I found that to not be the case. Its only happened since flashing racings ICS. Has anyone found any work arounds? I've searched and came up empty
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
so there was no problems with other ROMs?

if not then it's not the phone, i've read up on couple instances that it was the phone's fault.

Have you tried making a fresh wipe? Maybe that will help some things.

Remember when you put it on speakerphone.. the microphone is on the TOP of the phone, so the handset mic and the speakphone mic are completely different. maybe fiddle around with the case on the bottom where the mic is and see if that fixes it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] oldfield16:
No one reported any issues to me with any other rom, may have to try wiping a few things. Either that or take an exacto knife to my case

Edit: exacto knife didn't work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nuuits:
So I've been trying out several ICS roms to come to the same two problems: The SD card isn't recognized or usable.

Also, I just flashed the zipped CWM version of the new leak and I keep on getting "the process com.android.media" has stopped or something.

What do I do now... I'm really digging ICS but I'm also getting really frustrated because I am unable to use my camera or listen to music. I also get the above error a lot too.

well, the sd card works fine in Miui (not v4) and any other GB rom. it's just ICS roms that it doesn't work in.
[EVO 4G General] bennyboy78:
ok. heres the deal. whenever i flash a rom, then take pictures with it, it always starts the picture number at some random number. Ex. IMAG0015 when i know im on IMAG0397 or something. so whenever i put my pictures on my computer, it has duplicates adn theyre all out of order. does anybody knwo how to fix this or hwo to put them back in order?
[EVO 4G General] scottspa74:
I know exactly what you're talking about. I just always assumed there was no way around it. It does kind of suck. Seems the only way around it I know is to manually name all of your jpgs. :(
[EVO 4G General] ben.nesheim:
hmm you could find an app like camerazoom fx (its what i have sooo i dont know about the others and im on ics and it gives it a date tag to seperate) but camerazoom names pcs as Camerazoom-yyyymmddhhmmss or about that lol comin from memory lol :) but yeah i have to say i like that style as well
[EVO 4G General] dbenney:
i dont think it has so much to do with flashing a rom as it does with removing pics from you phone. I haev boticed when i dl some pics to my pc and delete those ones from my phone but have left others on phone, when i take a new pic it will fill in the space where the deleteed pic was. not that big of a deal. if you look at pic info it gives the time and date taken. maybe you could sort by that or maybe make galleries.
[EVO 4G General] NxNW:
I just downloaded a bulk file renaming program two days ago to deal with this very problem.

Basically you just need a program that allows you to rename every single picture with one command.
[EVO 4G General] scottspa74:
Mind sharing what it's called?
[EVO 4G General] bennyboy78:
yes, please share the program name
[EVO 4G General] NxNW:
There's dozens - just Google "bulk file renamer" or "batch file rename" And if you're in a Mac, be sure to add "Mac" to the search phrase.

I use "EXIF renamer" (Mac only). It works for free, but I donated money to the guy anyway.

I have a card i bought from newegg. Well actually 2 of them so maybe i am doing something wrong. I am trying to put acclaim_update on it. They both show up as 15.2mb on windows and then go away. It shows on MY Computer for a brief second and goes away.

Ok So Can someone help me figure this out. It shows up as a memory stick on my asus notebook but on my gateway desktop shows up as a sd card w 14gb?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:

Try formatting them in your NT first.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bocaccio:
Yes i just bought 'em from newegg. Got a 32,16,16 cause im bout to deploy.

I'm just gonna format it on the nook and probably start this again tomorrow or friday. Getting aggravated. I'm on alberts rec rom w adb/1.4.1 and i wanna put stock on it and cm7 so i can dual boot but when i boot w sd w acclaim on it it goes into cwm. I must be doing something wrong. When i turn it off and put the sd card in and boot up it'll go to cwm then i reboot from there to get it booted correctly and it says there is no card in til i take it out and put it back in.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
If I'm not mistaken, you must have the stock recovery installed on your NT's internal recovery partition. If CWM is installed, I don't think the acclaim_update.zip will work.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Erusman:
Just bought a Prime from Local BB here in Yakima, WA. Four just arrived today in stock. 32GB grey. After a failed pre order prime BX serial. (see my open prime thread in sig) This was a C2. No Light bleed. WIFI works excellent.:D Only thing that didnt work was GPS. However, I was expecting this. (Not using this for traveling only bedtime / couch surf)

WIFI range on this thing matched with my kids iPad 2! I was able to get WIFI in areas where my BX never did. Plus i am actually pulling my full bandwidth. 30mbs / 5mbs. I tested every area of my house right along side my kids iPad 2. Same results! I am totally amazed and very happy!!:D:D

Modded prime with working GPS will be mounted permenant in my vehicle.

New C2 from BB with its sleekness will be my bedtime / couch toy!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
good news to hear then. Congrats.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
good for you :) I was lucky and got a perfect one in january. Its such a great device^^ i have no idea why you would get an ipad over this.

How can I know which one I have is that the serial number mine start with c3 is that good
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newellj79:
Do you loose wifi when streaming bluetooth?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
There havent been any significant differences between the serial numbers. So you're good :)

There have been cases with other devices where they actually improved as new batches came out, but the primes have been consistantly good from the beginning. Even though this forum suggests otherwise. But you will only see the people with problems making posts so its really misleading.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Erusman:
Nope. Working fine on this C2! I been streaming .mkv's in Diceplayer with my bluetooth headset. Audio is in sync! Can't believe it!!! I am freakin happy. Does not have the bluetooth fallout issue whatsoever.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mcoupe:
While I was opening this thread, I was really hoping it all worked out. I was worried it could turn into another .....well you know.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Erusman:
Thanks! If I can marry this prime right now I would. (However, I don't think WA allows you to marry an electronic device. :p)

I was a little apprehensive on laying down another $540 for a tablet. But everything worked out fine. Going to buy the black tie protection as well. I should be all set.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
yes he is serious but lets not get into that never ending debate. before we have to pull the poll up showing over 80% of prime owners are happy with their device. over 400 prime owners in xda voted that way. And Asus and CNet interview statement showing less than 1% of primes are defective/have been returned.

I do admit, there are some units with issues though ;) Smile.

its a tired debate. for the most part, majority is past that and most primes seem to be performing fine one way or another.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
sorry forgot to add "according to ASUS RMA numbers" ;) And thats about the only thing we can rely on if we are talking facts. But yeah lets burry this discussion.

as i said you will only see the people complaining in these forums... Go to an [insert random manufacturer] forum and you will find people complaining big time. If you hang around here all day and read every whine post you will get the feeling that every 2nd prime is broken :) There are units with issues as there always are when a new product gets released. That and people are just crazy sometimes. Look at ipad3 it got a little hot after playing some intense game for 3 hours and people start running back to the shop with it... :D

They should have touched my old old overclocked Celeron which was running at 90° C all his life.

Well I just received mine today and im happy wifi is strong gps locked fast and maps works great I did not try BT and really I don't care too much about it mmhhh well if I'm getting the keyboard probably I should lol

Is it normal that the battery last a little more than 5 hours with really heavy use almost straight use gaming downloading apps games browsing the web,taking some pictures etc...... Is my first cycle FYI thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] effezie:
I am happy to hear your newest Prime is working so well. Did you get an identical one or did you change the color? I'm guessing 32g with the 540 price tag. I was keeping up with your GPS mod thread and I'm guessing you must be very excited to have a brand spanking new Prime that you can start something else on. Just kidding. I finally have my 6 week RMA adventure coming to an end and Asus is sending me a C30 unit delivering Friday by FedEx. Their doing an advance RMA for me and I am grateful for that. I'll do a thorough test on the weekend and let you all know
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MK17:
Just got a new C30 from Amazon today. I will be waiting on my refund from my BCO that sat in RMA for over a month before Asus offered me a refund.

I didn't have problems with wifi on the last one but this one is certainly at the same speeds as my laptop (very close to the router). GPS was non existent until I tried a GPS fix (Transformer Prime Test Build 2 - Google Specific No-SSL v3.1), GPS is still a work in progress, but I have hope (even if I have to mod it externally).

Very happy with this prime. The feedback you can't hardly feel but at least it doesn't rattle like my last one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] denpad2010:
I have a c30 just received today so far so great ,I'm confused what exactly is the gps issue I want try it tomorrow so k.want to know to compare since today I just locked gps up and tried a navigation and seems to work great thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Erusman:
Get and Try app in market "GPS test" You can see how many birds are in view. I want to correct myself in original post. I said GPS didn't work as expected. It does work on this C2 tablet. However not very well. I get some birds in view. When I pull up google maps. It puts me like two or three houses down from where I actually live (indoors). Of course my phone is accurate within like 12feet (indoors). I haven't tried outdoors with this c2 yet.

Let us know about the C3.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] denpad2010:
OK I downloaded but don't know how use it if you have me more instruction I'm happy to help and let y'all know how works in my C30

Is there any way to take screen shot on an unrooted transformer prime

Nor sure is what you looking for but, in views it was 10-14 in use 8-12
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoMagus:
You can take a screen shot by holding volume down & power at the same time. If you had a GPS problem yours would say 0 like mine.. and not change even outside clear view of the sky. I just use bluetooth2GPS between my Nexus though if I need it on the Prime so its no biggie to me personally but it sounds like yours is fine

may want to try square trade? I dont know much about square trade but I know enough about the geeksquad (used to work there) not to get black tie, it might also be cheaper.
