[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RatusNatus:
i'M planing to flash the ICS as soon Devs release a perfect one and i want to know how to do a clean install.

I want to erase everything and start a fresh new install.

That option factory reset dont erase nothing... is there another option?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
you're kidding right? all you need to do is a factory reset, that's a clean install
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RatusNatus:
I did a factory reset 2 days ago and the data folders are still there.

My phone has the same free space on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
If you want to remove all your personal data, you need to format the sd card. To wipe and format, go into settings | privacy | Factory data reset, tick the checkbox for "format USB storage" and reset phone. To just format, go to settings | storage | format USB storage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
If you want to completely wipe your phone you can enter the following code into your dial pad and it will completely reset your phone to out of the box conditions

Warning this code wipes everthing

*2767*3855#
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RatusNatus:
Thanks you all for the reply. I'll do that cuz i'm on a bootloop that cames and go from time to time.

But my I777 its not like an out of the box should be.

I'm using ICScrewed 2.1 right now. Any difference?

When you say erase everything what everything was that? lol

will keep Only the ROM and nothing else?

And about the trash zip files from VoltageControl etc.?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
it means it will wipe EVERYTHING on your sd card
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RatusNatus:
That everything includes CWM?

So, will that code brick phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
Comprehension is a lovely thing.

No! It will uninstall all apps and remove all setting and wipe your sd card

Cwm doesn't run from your sdcard, it is in the kernel

Sent from my SGH-I777
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
When I say everything, I mean your phone will be just like the day it was first taken out of the box with the stock Samsung firmware that came with the phone, wiping any trace of anything you have ever done to the phone.

Edit: the only thing it does not touch is the bootloaders.

It will reset you to the stock kernel, the entire stock firmware that came factory on the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
ummmm.....how is it going to wipe it to stock kernel and stock rom, when hes on a custom kernel and custom rom..?

plain and simple.....the code is a factory reset+sdcard format tool....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
No offense by any mean but if it is true then we won't have hundreds of threads asking and answering "how to return to stock"

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

AFAIK, factory reset (aka wipe data) will erase all installed apps, settings, home screen settings, ...., and all personal stuff that stored in the internal memory.

By "internal memory" I meant the sd card. NOTE this sd card IS NOT the external micro SD that we bought separately and insert into the phone. Dang, i hate this confusion. Honestly, I am not sure that "wipe data" even performs what I said in bold.

Factory reset/wipe data does NOT touch the ROM, not touch the kernel, not touch the bootloader, ...., basically it won't touch any system file/folder.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
wipe data/factory reset formats /data and /cache partitions. pretty much nothing else except cleaning a couple of other hidden folders.

never touches /system partition

it would behoove everyone to understand these items as they go around flashing things willy nilly....

Yeah man, it's gone. I'm bummed about it. I really liked the power saver setting in the first couple leaks. It was great for when I was going to be away from a charger all day and just needed the phone for calls and texts.

Oh well, hopefully they bring it back in the future.
[HTC Rezound] ethatch2100:
O yea duh I did read that. I miss it too I disabled some Verizon bloatware today to see if that would improve on the battery actually I remember that problem too I had to put it in economy mode setting to switch it back to 4g sometimes but it never permanently put it in cdma only it was just a minor annoyance hopefully they fix it for the official update

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jeweladdict:
So I was super excited when all of the news sites had breaking news about how the I717 Galaxy Note had a radio fix that allowed for it to work on Tmo bands. I paid my 600 bucks, got the phone, flashed all combinations, and got fantastic results (8Mbps down) when it worked, but then 500kbps down when it didn't (dependent on location). Need a dependable data connection for work, so I'm thinking of trading my Note for a Skyrocket.

After searching, and reading through the Tmo threads in this forum, there doesn't seem to be a conclusive answer as to whether or not the radio fix for Skyrocket is a sure thing. Does anyone have issues regarding data connection based on location? It seems like the TMO and ATT SII are the same hardware, so the radio flashing should be a true and complete fix right?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tomtommy306:
What shape is your note in.... New or slightly used?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jeweladdict:
used since last friday. Flip case + screen protector. Already have a buyer/trader lined up though :) Trying to see if it is even worth it to trade
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tomtommy306:
Honestly... I think you would be in the same boat. The phones have very similar hardware.

I wasn't offering to trade/buy.... was gonna spread the word for ya.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jeweladdict:
:)

Well they got the Note to work by flashing the T989 radios (Tmo SII) to it. It has the same processor, but data is not consistent.

I was hoping since the I727 and I989 are a lot more similar, I would have better luck. Guy is offering his Skyrocket + 350 for my note, so it seems like a small gamble since I can always resell the skyrocket if it doesn't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tomtommy306:
For that deal, go for it. That's a huge payout for a small downgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] .dan:
hey i also posted in the tzones thread, but your problem sounds like the one i have with my skyrocket on tmobile. current setup is TPC rom, faux kernel, and tmo vk1 radio. i get good speeds, then it will drop to 500kbps until i drive away and hook onto a differnt cell tower.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] crispien:
Willing to trade my skyrocket for your note pm me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raider03:
Post on craigslist as well, am pretty sure there's some people out there willing to trade as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jeweladdict:
damn, that's exactly what i didn't want to hear :(

I'll try it out for myself since I'm getting such a good deal on the S2 and see if my luck improves. If not, I guess I'll sell that too

edit

Got the SG2 I727 today. Rooted it, but still waiting on unlock code :(

Once I get unlock code, I'll try to update radios to see if that works

if not, I'll flash some skyrocket roms (any suggestions?)

If all else fails, I'll flash some Tmo Roms

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jeweladdict:
just wanted to update everyone. I am now skyrocketing on Tmo :D

Flashing radios onto stock rom did not work

Tried out a few skyrocket roms with limited success

Juggernaut + Faux kernel + vk1 = perfect. Overheating and battery issues though :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jamesd86:
You should be able to flash TMobile radios on stock ROM no problem. That's what I've always used and get decent speeds.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dajinn:
My phones actual ability to maintain a signal and make data connections is just ****ing abysmal. Sigh, actually what had happened recently was I was using Codename 1.4 /w a hybrid radio and my connection was decent. At home I never get any bars of 3G but my data connection at least worked. I was in class yesterday and then my phone ran out of battery, I rebooted it to check the calendar but I didn't have time before it insta-died on boot, and then my phone softbricked. I had to re-flash(forgot to do a CWM backup)a ROM and now my connection is just back to being as ****ty as it was before I had decent luck. My phone just has these bouts where it can't send SMS at all even and my phone can't hold onto 3G(in a very good metropolitan area, mind you). I start using the data connection and then my data drops on 3G or LTE. It's just ridiculous. No hybrid radio i've tried has helped.

My question is this: what kind of recourse do I have for getting out of my contract /w Verizon as a new customer if I ***** and moan about how this phone barely functions on their network in my area? I haven't even paid my first bill, but I know that I am past the 14 day return/cancellation period. Has anyone ever been in my situation? In the worst case I'll just have to sell the phone and early terminate I suppose.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slickromeo:
you could probably flash stock android ICS on that phone, then sell it, and use the money you receive from selling the phone to pay for your Early Termination Fee
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK0097:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Stop using custom ROMS and kernels. Go back to stock and see how things work.

Are other people who use your carrier having similar issues n your area? If you live in a cellular "dead zone", I don't think there's much you can do about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dajinn:
Actually, my best friend who got me to buy the nexus(I don't mean he persuaded me or anything, he let me play /w his and I was hooked)said that after I unlocked the bootloader, installed cwm, and installed the AOSP 4.0.4 leak that his signal/reception was worse. I don't use a custom kernel, well I mean I don't flash kernels that is. I tend to leave whatever kernel comes /w a rom. If I go back to stock should I relock the bootloader too?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aneftp:
There is definitely something wrong with the Verizon Galaxy nexus antenna. I along with many other have had horrible antenna problems. I had phone since day 1 and finally gave up on it yesterday and sold it.

Samsung like other manufacturers have duds. Those of us who had the original galaxy S phones now Samsung had a hardware GPS defect. No matter how many times you switch it out it's not going to solve your problem.

1. Where did you get your phone? Verizon corp? Amazon? Wirefly? Be careful if you terminate within 6 months at wirefily/amazon cause u might get charged $250 extra in addition to the $350 Verizon etf. That's why amazon sold you the phone for $99 for new customers.

If you got it from Verizon. They may cut u some slack and take phone back and u just pay for partial pro rates fees etc restocking.

I liked the phone myself. ICS is def a huge step forward. Screen amazing. But a phone needs to function as a phone first.

Had huge issue with iPhone 4 last year also. Not antenna gate like media stated. But the iPhone 4 (gsm) had a well known sensor defect that apple "fixed with a software released". We all know that's bogus. Manufacturers never want to admit a hardware defect/poor design. They would just rather deal with individual cases and hope the problem goes away or until the next design is released and people forget about it. My iPhone 4S has no sensor issue at all (I can actually move my head around when on a call and the screen doesn't auto turn on and hang out/call ex girlfriends etc like the iPhone 4.

I suspect Samsung is well aware of this antenna issue in the CDMA model. I am sure the next version of this phone will be fixed. Just like the Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant with tmobole had gps defect and Samsung Galaxy S 4G had no gps defect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dajinn:
I got it from amazon unfortunately. So yeah I am aware of the 250 extra addon. I will call them tomorrow and talk to them about waiving that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aneftp:
Going to be tough for them to waive it unless you also offer to send the phone back to them.

Not sure how it's going to play out but good luck.

I sold my Gnex yesterday. I would have just used the proceeds from sale (sold it for $380...Verizon Gnex resell values are dropping unforurtanely). Anyways I would have just paid the ETF but I got a grandfathered unlimited LTE data so just using the LTE sim in my new iPad and that works great.

I'll see what the Samsung S3 has to offer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ElectroM:
I know how you feel. I am on my 6th GNex, and since last week it has been dropping calls every time I use it, unless it is a very short call. It may last for a few minutes, or for 30 to 40 minutes, but it will drop the call. The phone was okay when I got it about a month ago, very weak data connections, but worked for voice calls, dropping a few now and then. I am almost to the point of reactivating my OG Droid and just using the GNex is a PDA. I do not want to break my contract because I am grandfathered in on an very sweet Alltel plan. I know I will never buy another Samsung phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phantomzer0:
For what its worth I had a Verizon g next since December and the phone had amazing signal reception and always was on 4g. Never dropped a call and all texts sent perfectly well. The phone got really hot last weekend and wouldn't turn on. After being deemed shot, I got a new gnex. I've been on this phone for 2 days and I've dropped 5 calls and had at least 20 texts fail to send. I look at the signal bars and half the time they're completely empty. If this phone was my first experience I'd be pissed beyond belief. Maybe try and swap it for a new one. I'm sure as hell going to. I know what the phone is capable of and I'm nowhere near that with this one.
[Kindle Fire General] Mike415:
So this is really noticeable when Im viewing documents in Adobe Reader and trying to move the screen to a specific point or drag the slider to a specific page. When removing my finger from the screen it always registers as a slight motion and sets me off several pages (In a 1000 pg text book) or moves the page from where I wanted to position it.

I have SGS Touchscreen booster on CM9 under Super Optimized but I am trying to get rid of that little motion when lifting your finger up. I know its like that for most Android devices though so I suspect there's not too much to do about it, but iDevices do handle that pretty well in comparison.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yonizaf:
In many howto's and other threads it often says "If your atrix is ATT do this, if it's Bell/Intl/whatever do that". Problem is, I have no idea which one of these i have, or what the differences are.

So, does anyone knows what's the difference between these versions, and if there's a way to check which one I have?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
If it is still running Stock software then you can check the "splash screen" during boot. Also, the AT&T version has their logo on the back/battery cover.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yonizaf:
I got it with a non-stock ROM, so that one doesn't help.

So if it doesn't say AT&T anywhere on the back, can i count on it not being the AT&T version?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychephylax:
Is it MB860, ME860 or MB861?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yonizaf:
It says MB860 under the battery.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
That really doesn't help since they

use the "MB860" model number for more than one version

, including AT&T. I believe that is the model number for the Bell and Orange versions as well.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure about that.

(Additionally, a quick Google search also brings up Vodafone and maybe more?)

But if it doesn't say AT&T on the back then it's probably not AT&T. :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychephylax:
It's true MB860 is used for more than one provider...If you have the product code something like SJUxxxx then we can get very specific to what country the phone is destined for
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yonizaf:
There's SJUG5964BB in there. is that it? Does that help any?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ltdanno360:
go to motorolas website enter your imei number in the "check warrenty section and it will give you the "stock description ",of the phone and if you bought it new the date it was activated and weather or not there is a warrenty left on it but It will tell you the specifics of the phone like mine AT&t en us mb860 blabla :D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yonizaf:
Didn't work for me.

It said "Your phone is in Warranty - Expires x/y/z" and that's it. No product description or any other useful info.

Unless I'm looking in the wrong place?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychephylax:
I will try to find out for you.

But since a whole lot of websites in Chinese popped up, I bet it's probably a Hong Kong model.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanalvarez9:
exact same problem

hi, I have the same exact reference of the OP phone, in case its a chinesse phone it is possible to unlock/root?? it's there any guide for doing it without briking the device?

I almost use the Automatic bootloader UNLOCK/ROOT guide. but i think it'll brik my phone.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychephylax:
I was able to get some more information but not enough to tell you where that handset was supposed to go.

It's definitely NOT AT&T...But it wasn't coded for a specific region/provider so it's more of a universal/international version.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yonizaf:
So now, if I want to go back to stock firmware (or whatever it's called), how do I know which one is right for my device?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maheshjagadeesan:
things to check

I can think of a couple of ways to check if your phone's not running the stock ROM AND if you're not rooted:

* Are you able to tether Wifi? On AT&T phones, the tethering is disabled unless you 'activate' it by contacting them

* The system build details on the 'Settings->About phone' page should give a clue. Maybe you could post them here?

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
Don't know any of this for sure, but here are my thoughts on that..

1) I'm thinking that would break the signature of the PH39IMG, which wouldn't let it flash on a locked bootloader anyway (not to mention I don't think it's that simple)

2) If it did work, wouldn't this write an ATT radio to your device, which could bork a few things. And without s-off and the ability to flash different radios, could lead to some real issues.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] vhjc:
No one will ever can do that until we have S-OFF. If you change anything inside the signed zip, this will become unsigned and for flash a unsigned zip you need S-OFF.
