Hi mate!

Friend lets start from some common knowledge. Did you wipe data and cache?

Is your phone network locked or sim-free?

have you unchecked usb debugging?

reinstalled kies?

Updated drivers?

Updated kies?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paras Lehana:
Processing your Problems...

Answering All Doubts...

Database Loaded. :)

My friend, overheating of smartphones is not a big deal - its common. Well, you can underclock the processor to make the CPU cool down. Also lagging and hanging of the same have been never an uncommon issue. Mine does it about two times day on an average - you can free RAM and optimize. But these are still considered problems - I know - but its really recommended that you study deeply about anything you're gonna do.

Updating via OTAU would make your device loose the root access - it'd unroot your device.

For now, I didn't get your main problem.

Well, from what I have got in my mind about your problem, I can recommend you to flash the stock firmware. I think you were upgrading to 2.3.6, right?

You can ask me if you want a link to download the update.zip to your PC.

I'm really sorry if I didn't answer your problem. Please do bother to ask for help.

Good Luck

Love you :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paras Lehana:
No, no, no. That's the last thing to do.

Hmm..carefully check with me...

USB debugging method didnt work.

Downloading drivers from samsung website and then installing them didnt work too.

USB Storage method didn't work.

Right??

This is what I'm copying from a post on android forums and it solved that for many:

"Originally Posted by DavidWOT

1. Turn on USB debug mode in my phone by >settings>applications>development

2. Connect the phone to computer via USB

3. Allow Windows to load drivers

4. Disconnect phone from USB

5. Turn off phone's USB debug mode 6. Reconnect USB between phone and computer

7. Successfully connect with Kies via the USB

The key here being: Have the phone in USB Debug mode when connecting to the computer to automatically load the drivers via the Windows Recognized New Hardware Wizard. Then disconnect and turn off the phone's USB Debug mode before reconnecting to the computer and Kies.

Now I put the "[?]" in my subject line because I have the confidence level of approximately zero with Kies at this point, woindering if it will connect the next time [smile] Hope this helps! - David"

GT-I9100G unable to connect in download mode.

Okay so I just got this (quite useless) phone a few days ago. I'm trying to upgrade it to 2.3.6 but because of where I live, I can't update it OTA, so I'm trying to root it and update it that way, but I'm unable to access download mode! I've tried all the options (vol down, home screen, power button) but all they do is either turn it on or off. Also, Google Play/market didn't come pre-installed and when I tried to install it, it just force closes. Any help would be appreciated!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paras Lehana:
Friend, its not a useless phone. Well, its still THE GALAXY S II. I'm having the I9100 at the moment. But still, whenever I discover a problem in it, it makes me the feel the same.

But you know how it feels to be a proud owner of the best smartphone in the world!

Well, before I can put some logical views on your problem, may you please tell me the country you are living in.

Paras, First and foremost, I sincerely congratulate you for your dedication. You are answering every question on this thread. That is awesome lol.

I myself have a mytouch slide 3g (rooted thanks to XDA members of course) which I am about to change for the new Galaxy S IIII in a few days but I just purchased the S II for my partner and I am about to root it. I came across your thread while researching how to root the phone and very much impressed your passion.

Will be back if I run into any problems (hope not)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paras Lehana:
This is the reason for mine dedication - your blessings, buddy.

S III, recieving about 9 million pre-orders, would be really a good choice. But must tell you, you have to wait for the developers to try their hands at it.

Still, S II is the best choice. :)

UPDATE: First Root fix has been introduced by the xda developer, chainfire.

Credit where credit is due. The "thanks" are well deserved :D

Although my Mytouch is rooted, i consider myself a newb. I am pretty good at doing things when given step by step instructions. This update that you mention, does it have something to do with the rooting process?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paras Lehana:
Well, the basics of the process is same for all devices. But Chainfire didn't leak any insecure kernel. So you aint gonna flash it via rooted kernel method (the method you used for rooting your S II). Actually, he has modified by the commands and repacked the stock kernel with some modified adbd binary.

The method is just equivalent to the Doomlord's rooting method.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] naveen_reloaded:
Since i am on 1.4.1 , i couldnt able to root via .apk installation method , which is blocked on 1.4.1

Today i am going to purchase a microSD card to root and install CM7 or CM9 (anything other than stock ROM). Many tutorials i read says that i have to format the SD card to make it as bootable Rooter or something. My question is

- Do i need 2 SD cards , one to root and another as external storage ?

- Or 1 is enough to root and install , then later reformat it to use it as external storage for nook ?

- Which method / tutorial should i follow ? CM7 threads says to look at rooting and CMW installation threads . But these thread are little confusing me on SD card part.

Can anyone give an idea on how to proceed ? Again i am on 1.4.1 , unrooted , STOCK ROM and dont have a microSD card yet , going to buy today , so how much should i buy or 1 is enough to get me on CM7 :)

Need urgent reply , as i am leaving to buy stuffs
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wesbc:
I think there's only one micro sd port, so you'll only want to get one micro sd. There's no reason to get two. Just get the largest one you can buy. That's what I did. 32GB micro sd with CM7 installed. Afterward you'll need to run a partition program to resize the last partition to use up the entire space of the card. I ran into a little issue with that with windows partition program and have to boot ubuntu and run gparted.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
I've rooted, booted in recovery, stored apps and media, flashed different mods and roms, and booted another NT into recovery all from the same 32gb card. Hope that answers your question. i personally wouldn't go with anything less than 16gb of space just due to the fact that anything else seems a bit of a waste of the sd card slot. IMO not the law :P
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] myl0h:
One sd card is sufficient for rooting the device. It really depends on how you want to root it now, internally (so you can use the internal memory but lose stock os) or bootable sd card (easier to revert but everything will be stored on the sd card)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] naveen_reloaded:
Thanks for all the reply. Had some work come up , so didnt find time.

anyway got a 8GB card, is that enough ? i am not planning to watch movies on it.

I am planning to give this nook to my brother later , so i dont want to mess up with the stock OS. Can i root/install cm7 right from the SD card itself ? and if i remove , will the stock OS be intact ?

Also please let me know how to revert (once rooted/installed and if it did change the internal stock OS) back to stock OS.

With SD card , can i skip the registration process of stock OS ? recently i restored to factory setting , and i dont want it to update OTA to 1.4.1 and above if i am again going to go through the process . the device has not been turned on for a while.

help me here guys
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
You should make a CM7 SD card, directions can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1481826

This way, when you put the SD card in and boot up, you will boot into CM7.

When you take the SD card out and boot up, you will boot into the untouched Barnes and Noble stock ROM.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] naveen_reloaded:
thanks a lot. how much space will i have ? I saw in a video that i need to reformat the card to get space. can you help me on that ?

also do i need to register in the stock OS , or can i leave it the current state ? (restored to factory settings )

I have a 8GB SD card.

added :

I dont have a SD card reader , can i use nook to mount the card and write the image file using the windows software ? or even in linux ?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
After you write the .img to your card and after you extend the last partition of your SD card, you should have about 5.5GB for user data storage.

I don't believe you have to register your NT.

To be on the safe side, I would definitely recommend that you use an SD adapter when writing the image, but you should be able to do it when the card is inside of your NT, but mounted on your computer.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] naveen_reloaded:
thanks a lot. its midnight now , will try it first thing tomorrow :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:

Avail : 1.17

Additional storage : /system

unvailable

Additional Storage : mnt/storage

Additional storage : /mnt/media

T : 1GB

A : 1GB

ok how to extend the partition now ? Also is there anything i should remember regarding these mnt/storage and /media ? I mean moving apps , stuffs like that ?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Okay, so the 4th partition is the only partition you want to change. If running Windows, download and install either:

Minitool Partition Wizard: http://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html

OR

EASEUS Partition Master: http://www.partition-tool.com/download.htm

Doesn't matter which, they're basically the same software.

Mount the SD card and remember the letter drive for your SD card (very important!)

You should see 4 partitions on your SD card drive, followed by unallocated space. Select the 4th partition and choose Move/Resize. From here you should be able to extend that partition to consume the rest of the unallocated space.

Now, double check to make sure the changes you made to your SD card are correct. When you are satisfied, hit Apply, and wait for the changes to take place.

When it's finished close to software and mount the SD card on your NT and check the storage settings again to make sure you are able to use the rest of your space.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] naveen_reloaded:
As you know , i have been using nook to mount the SD card. Will this work with my setting ?

also when i try to mount this is what it shows
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Open up one of the partitioning softwares and make sure your J: Drive has 4 partitions on it. If not, then you'll need to mount your SD card on the PC with an adapter or card reader.
