[General Questions and Answers] cagkanm:
I don't think that is a question you should ask public. You need to consider advantages and disadvantages of using Blackberry instead of Android. I've recently switched from Blackberry to Galaxy S2 (I will NOT use iPhone even if they paid me) and I don't think I could use Blackberry again.

of course, if Blackberry is able to do everything you need to do, $960 a year sounds like a good deal but are you going to be satisfied with Blackberry?
[General Questions and Answers] Mystic38:
carry the two devices..

A blackberry is still by far and away the best pure communications device.. and the modern 9900/9930 phones are really excellent..in design, build quality and performance.

The drawback is that the fun/infotainment value is not there is a 2.6" screen so coming from android you may feel that its not much fun.. and it isnt..

Secondly, note that companies run BES for a reason, and understand what that means.. I recommend that you keep work & private separate.
[General Questions and Answers] Hayth:
Hmm, quite a conundrum. As the guys above said, it's really down to your personal choice but just like you I'd find it hard to decide as I'd also hate having two devices but would miss my s2 too much. However, that is a big saving over the year and that might be enough for me to make the switch. Only you can decide tho my friend!

I wonder if this could be used with phone facing out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
Looks good...just wondering if the phone housing will get scratched by the spring clip or the curved plastic that holds the bottom of the phone in. If you get the holster that works with the Surface case, it's not such a big deal -- but I'd hate to scratch the phone itself.

Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cds36:
I used the same holster with evo and evo3d with no scratches at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] konman795:
Does anybody know if using this holster with a full body shield will work too? I'm worried it will peel off the shield from the constant on and off of the top clip.

I had a full body shield on my evo using the spring clip holster while it did work had a very snug fit, it felt like over time it would wear out the areas of contact on the shield so i ended up removing the body shield and only kept the screen protection on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
Good to hear this. Are you able to "snap" the phone into the case, e.g., stick the bottom of the phone into the bottom of the case, and then push the phone back against the clip so it is pushed up and over the phone as it "clicks" into place? The point where the phone presses against the spring-loaded clip and moves it up out of the way is where I was most concerned about phone scratches.

I like the idea of the holster - just don't want to have to manually open the clip, drop the phone in and then let the clip go... Looking for some I can handle smoothly with one hand...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
I didn't have any problems doing what you described with my Evo 3D and the seidio spring clip holster.

I've been using the LTE Surface holster for the extended battery, but just lost the holster somewhere on a trip :( (anybody want to sell me an extra ;)). I'll probably get this spring clip holster since I'd rather my phone not have a case anyway.

BTW, you can get 10% off of orders from seidioonline using TW10. I still think $30 for a holster is pretty expensive, but I do like the spring clips.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cky2000:
Just received it today and pretty happy with it so far (no more case :D) . I also had one for the DX and loved it, except on the DX I did have some wear on the bottom corners from the hostler . The DX did have that soft rubber coating.

The (whole) screen does not touch the back of the hostler, except when you push the belt clip and then it's just the very top of the phone that touches when applying pressure. One thing I do notice is when you lay the phone on the table (hostler facing up). The back of the phone is really close to the table. It doesn't touch it , but you can barely slide a piece of paper between the phone & the surface.

I don't know why, but here are some pix. (with the verizon extended battery)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldiamond2:
Hi all,

I'm trying to install ClockworkMod with no luck. I'm getting the "Signature verification failed" error.

I have a Samsung Galaxy s2 9100M (bell/virgin version). Currently running everything stock except that I manually gained root access, compiled su binary and placed it in /system/bin (with appropriate permissions of course). I also installed busybox from source. So my phone is fully rooted, the superuser app works fine as well (used chainsdd su).

Now an obvious option is to use Odin and flash CWM recovery. However, I'm running Linux, so no Odin (I'd also like to avoid using a VM). What's the alternative? The stock recovery will not allow me to flash unsigned files.

Please feel free to provide complex solutions. I'm a professional software engineer with extensive unix/linux knowledge. I'm just not entirely familiar with the SGS2/android architecture but I can google the missing bits.

As an aside, if I end up having to flash the recovery partition with CWM, is this recovery overwritten when flashing the stock rom? I.e. does it rebuild it on first boot? Is it part of the rom?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
To get CWM recovery, you need to flash a kernel which comes with it. Since you're rooted already, you can either do that using Heimdall, via an app such as Mobile Odin (several others exist) or manually via adb/terminal.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldiamond2:
Why do I need an entire kernel? Can't I just install the recovery? I was planning on making a full backup of my stock phone, including the kernel, for recovery purposes.

I used Rom Manager and tried to flash CWM with it. It failed and left me with the update.zip which I can't flash in recovery because of the signature issue.

About the Apps, I've heard that Rom Manager isn't safe to use (i.e. may brick the phone). What about Mobile Odin (which isn't free)? Does using a pay app make it any safer?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

As recovery is in the kernel the answer is no .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wezi:
I had this problem originally when i first rooted my phone, (S2 International). Signature Verification Failed.

I flashed a CWM based recovery, 4.0 or something and my problems went away. S2 Kernels and Recoveries are merged in one, thats why you can't have one with out the other.

If you flash a different rom, unless it comes with its own recovery, it won't overwrite yours.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
Any backup you make will still be rooted, which is likely to invalidate warranty anyway.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldiamond2:
Rooted is fine since I can manually remove the su binary and busybox.

I've seen this method before but I have seen no comments on if it really works or not. Maybe you have?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
It's dd, not much else to explain to a Linux user ;).

If you follow the advice of dd'ing the kernel first, then flashing a kernel containing CWM and dd'ing all the partitions from within recovery (adb) and doing nandroid backup for good measure, there's really not a lot that can go wrong when it comes to restoring.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldiamond2:
Well, one thing that comes to mind is missing partitions... Another is partitions residing in read-only memory (which you can't remount as read-write) for which dd wouldn't be helpful for restoring.

Also using dd to copy partitions mounted as read-write can cause a corrupted output. Who knows what happened while you were copying it.

hi guys

is it possible?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
I can't give you the verification you're looking for, I've never had an interest in getting my phone back to the condition it was in when I bought it (I rooted it the day I bought it, 11 months ago, and never looked back).

I don't believe any of the partitions are incapable of being mounted R/W. If they were, it would surely be irrelevant for you anyway since if you can't write to them, they're not going to change no matter what you do. Also, dd'ing from recovery over adb should ensure nothing is writing to the partitions.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldiamond2:
Well, depends what the flashing process involves. It can flash memory that otherwise can't be flashed from the OS.

That's definitely a way to avoid the corruption of the dd image.

god.fsl: Don't try to hijack the thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phil_:
I am not really sure why you are trying to make easy things that difficult.

Have a look at the CF-Root Kernels.

These are kernels taken from stock ROM and only included necessary things like busybox, superuser, CWM and so on.

With CWM you can easily make a backup of your entire system.

Seriously it's a pretty easy things and you would have to worry alot less. Even if you are a professional linux software engineer.

PS: When working on the system like you are it might probably be a good idea to do a quick backup of your efs Folder ;)

Thunderbolt ready for Dev work.

It has an unlocked bootloader with S-off, and it is already rooted.

Clockwork touch recovery is installed.

It has a clean ESN and can be activated on Verizon.

It has two dead spots in the digitizer. But, no other problems.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] brandogg:
It says carrier unlocked...that can't be. Also you shouldn't have paid $50 to get it put on Page Plus, you just call and get service, activate it and it should be good to go.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] orkillakilla:
What exactly is your definition of "carrier unlocked"?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] monho:
My mistake. I skipped over that section while creating the listing. The reason I chose the "unlocked" template over the one labeled "Verizon" is because the phone was last used on the PagePlus network and not Verizon. The phone does have an unlocked bootloader with S-off. This makes it ideal for a developer (beginner or advanced.)

Pageplus will not active any phone in which the MEID begins with 99. In order to do so, one is required to own the $699 version of CDMATool and a papeplus dealer account. That is the reason for the $50 service from Beigephone.com to program and activate the thunderbolt on pageplus or another CDMA prepaid network.

You should boot into hboot by pulling the battery, reinserting it, and holding the volume up key and power buttonat the same time. From there you cna access clockworkmod recovery by clicking on recovery.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarroyo:
How long did you actually wait before pulling the battery? Sometimes it can take up to 5, 10 minutes to fully boot up depending on the rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catherall:
Check if phone is booting after ROM installation

It really depends on the ROM. A small ROM like CyanogenMod 7.1 boots up in about 1 minute on my HTC Desire S.

Installation of CyanogenMod 9 with some modifications needed about 10 minutes.

However, you can check if you phone is still doing something using adb logcat.

I assume that you know how to use adb on your computer. Connect your phone before you boot the first time after installing a new ROM.

Boot the phone and wait until the kernel has mounted system and passed control to the Android system contained in the ROM. That takes about 10 seconds.

Then use the commandadb logcat to see what your phone is doing.

More verbose logcat is returned using adb logcat *:V

As long as logcat returns something you phone is booting. Even similar looking entries can be different, just be patient.

As your phone is booting it is establishing new processes.

As soon as the phone's sh (shell) is available you can connect to it using:

adb shell

Then get a list of currently running processes, that is updated every 10 seconds, with the following command:

while :; do clear; ps; sleep 10; done

Best regards,

Catherall
