[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcl5000:
Hi all. I've had my SGS2 for probably 4 or 5 months now, and I was told by ATT that I can take my phone back to a warranty center and get it exchanged.

My issue is that the phone doesn't detect when the charger is removed. In addition, I'm unable to boot the phone unless it's plugged into a USB port.

Now for the real problem. I was rooted, and I used creepy's guide on how to get the phone ready for warranty replacement. Everything seemed to work fine, but when the phone rebooted, I started getting force closes on google services. Because of this, I'm unable to proceed through the initial setup.

I'm 99% sure I need to do a factory reset, but I'm unable to do this through any of the usual mediums. I obviously can't do it from the menu in the phone since I can't get there, and I'm unable to boot into recovery. When I hold vol up/down and power, I never get the initial boot screen - it just goes straight into Odin every time.

Any ideas on how I can factory reset this phone any other ways? I realize I can *probably* just take it back to ATT how it is now, but I want to be sure that I wipe it to remove any remaining traces of rooting. Hopefully I can get this figured out today, so I don't have to be without a working phone!

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nooomoto:
Well you can get into Odin which is good. I know you said it doesn't recognize the charger, but does Odin recognize your phone when it's plugged in during download mode? If so, just flash back to stock and don't even bother with the set up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcl5000:
Yeah, Odin is fine. I flashed back to stock using the zip in this thread, and that's how I got where I am now.

I won't have any warranty issues if I take it back like this? Basically, once I flash the zip here, there's no evidence of rooting? I never tripped the flash counter or anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nooomoto:
Yeah, if youre on stock firmware and there is no app called "superuser" on your phone, youll be fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] treyphan77:
Interesting I had a similar issue just recently and it got worse over time.. I actually keep the extra best buy warranty just because they will do a no questions asked swap. But this makes me wonder.....
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I just bought a set of X10's from Amazon to compare to my Ultimate Ears TripleFi & my Etymotic E4p's

I use a Fiio E11 headphone AMP & the X10's should sound awesome from that I would think (all my other headphones kick a** from this setup)

The X10's I received are defective, one side works fine, but the other side crackles & rattles like the driver is shot.

What I'm wondering is if it's worth getting another set, or is the quality not all it's cracked up to be with these things???
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
I personally never liked the klipsch headphones a whole lot as the highs kill my ears. But that is personally preference. I have never liked overly bright speakers.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I know exactly what you're saying, I have a set of Klipsch S4's & they are way too bright, but I figured the X10's might be more accurate than the cheapy S4's.

Do all Klipsch earbuds emphasize the highs like that??
[HTC Rezound] hopesrequiem:
I love my s4s. Lol. You don't like good quality? Their highs are great. Maybe you listen to bad music.get a higher bit rate like 320 kbps
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
If I didn't like "good quality" I wouldn't be using what are generally regarded as the two best earbud sets ever made & a headphone AMP. If you read any of the opinions on Hi-Fi.org you would see the TripleFi's are always rated as one of the best earbuds ever made (they originally sold for $399 although I don't know anybody that actually paid that).

All my rips are 320 (or .wav files), I owned a high end stereo shop for 10 years & I definitely appreciate good quality. The Klipsch S4's are way too bright, but this is not always a bad thing. Personally, I am not looking for a super accurate sound as I also like bright highs & too much bass up to a point.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Purushoth:
Hi,

I have created a simple app for changing master volume. This app would be helpful for those who do not wish to use physical keys. This app works in dev unlocked device and greater.

Finally, thanks to Fiinix for the dllImport project.

Update 1:

========

Added Screen brightness slider also. Not sure if it is really needed by users.

Though the values are updated to registry, there is not much difference in brightness while sliding.

Thanks to Heathcliff for WP7RootTools sdk.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JamesAllen:
Works on Focus

Installed on my Focus and works well with one exception. Always shows 17 as the level if last set to 0 or mute. If set to any other number, that number will be properly displayed when closing and reopening this app.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] anhthai:
HTC Titan dev unlock ok :) Thank a lot!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Purushoth:
Thanks for the finding.. I removed the default value 17..

Plz use the attached XAP.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JamesAllen:
Great

That did it, works fine. Was waiting for something like this.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
At a guess, this shouldn't even require interop-unlock, much less full-unlock or root-unlock. Is that correct? I know you can change the volume level using DllImportProject on just dev-unlock only.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fredsky2:
Few improvements imho:

*mute button should unmute if phone allready muted

*max level button

*arround 3 custom buttons (that you can previously set the vol level to w/e you want)

*a metro icon

cheers
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ddriver:
In my not full-unlock rom of my HTC Mozart work well. :) Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Purushoth:
@GoodDayToDie,

Yes, all dev unlocked devices will be supported. It doesn't need full unlock.

@fredsky2,

Will update with a metro icon and preset button. Max vol could be configured in preset itself.

The api does not have support for mute. I could only reduce the volume to 0. Even if I store the value locally, it will not be useful if physical keys are also used in parallel.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sh4d0w86:
a most excellent idea, thanks. will provide feedback once i actually try it out.

definitely a nice application.

and i do agree with the suggestions by @fredsky2, plus a 'return to default 15 volume' button.

i don't see the use of Custom Buttons beyond a Max, Default & Mute button.

i also suggest removing the Splash Screen, application should load more swiftly.

if you want to do a Mute/Unmute button, you might...

when Mute button is pressed:

01. catch & save the current volumeValue

02. change volumeValue to 0

03. change button Title to Unmute or hide buttonMute to reveal buttonUnmute

when [Un]mute Button is pressed:

01. grab savedVolumeValue

02. change volumeValue to savedVolumeValue

03. change Button Title to Mute or hide buttonUnmute to reveal buttonMute

i suggest you add that attachment to the original post; almost missed it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] egzthunder1:
Oh My God! Thanks OP for coming out with this. Your timing couldn't be any better....

I just posted a dismantling guide for the Titan in the Titan fora and I accidentally broke the data strip that connects the volume hard keys to the device. Much to my surprise (or lack thereof), there is no way to change volume without these keys (or with a headset that allows you to do this). Your app is literally the answer to my prayers :)

Thanks again!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Purushoth:
@sh4d0w86,

Improved loading speed of app by removing unwanted dll's. It should be now faster.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] wpxbox:
Works on my Windows Phone Samsung Focus, Chevron Unlocked, Mango . Here are my suggestion.

1. Live Tile to Mute, Bring Volume to a Defined Level.

2. Colour of the bar can change from green to yellow to red depending if volume is low, medium and high.

- Live Tile can also follow the color codes

3. Support for Vibrate Mode and Live tile for it.

4. Fancy Stuff :

- Let user tilt the phone to change volume.

- Support with Talk Me to set volume to a desired level.

And Like sh4d0w86 said, sync when volume is changed with hardware button.

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

If possible bring in the profiles where I can have combination of Volume Level, Vibration etc to change it at a certain time or when I need it.

@Purushoth

Very useful app, works very well on my Omnia 7 with custom rom.

Big thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Purushoth:
@sh4d0w86,

Added custom buttons as you guys wished.

I tried to change icon. But I am very poor in design. Please feel free to change the icon and post.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sh4d0w86:
could you re-upload Power Slider?

i have downloaded three times and each time the file is corrupt.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Purushoth:
Sorry, somehow it got partially uploaded.

Uploaded it again. Pls try now.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Lidanh:
Cool application! one thing though,

I'm having an exception in the brightness area... I have HD7 with Custom ROM (Fully Unlocked)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nicci:
Not working correctly on my HTC 7 Pro (fully unlocked)

Volume control working fine. :)

Brightness changes nothing..

Apps showing me : "Error occured: The System cannot find the file specified"

SAME Thing as by Lidanh !
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Purushoth:
@Lidajh and Nicci,

For brightness control, I am using WP7RootTools. If the sdk is supporting your devices, then it shoule work. It works well in my Samsung 1st gen. From WP7RootTools thread,

WP7 Root Tools should work on these devices:

- Samsung first and second generation devices

- LG devices

- HTC first generation devices with Mango v1 drivers (SPL 4.x or lower)

- Samsung first generation devices with custom ROM and Full Unlock

- HTC first generation devices with custom ROM and Full Unlock

Please let me know if your devices comes under this list
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sh4d0w86:
thanks, i re-downloaded. downloaded fine.

i have the same results as @Lidajh & @Nicci.

using an HTC HD7 with intrinsicROM; has Full Unlock & Mango v1 drivers.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nicci:
My Phone is a HTC 1 gen with Mango v1 drivers.... fully unlocked.

HTC root tools app is installed and working good...

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Purushoth:
@magpir and others

I'll check why it is not working in HTC devices.

Anyone using Samsung could install and tell if it is working for them at least?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Osso17:
I have Samsung Omnia 7 with Custom Rom and Power Slider work perfectly

Thanks again :)

EDIT:Brightness doesn't work:

If set 1 have low brightness

If set 2 to 24 medium brightness

If set 25 high brightness

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JamesAllen:
Focus

Brightness and volume sliders work fine on my Samsung Focus.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lamborg:
the phone by default has three brightness settings, can this app gives you the option to adjust other than these settings like some level between low and medium??
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:
yes thats what this app supposed to do.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fredsky2:
Lookin awesome Purushoth, very nice work

my suggestions:

*Bigger buttons (the size of a finger tip) and slider!

* Settings to choose default low/mid/high values (ie: want my own mid brightness to be 16 instead of 11, and my max volume to be 28 instead of 30)

*"Automatically adjust bright" on/off (like inside default bright settings)

*A on/off for vibration would also be awesome

for the icons, i got some images from google and put my MSpaint degree to work :D, feel free to used/discard them, but i would highly recommend to polish them first, and made its bg transparent; both original and edited are attch

i would also suggest for you to add versions number after the attch xap and update date to the first post!

Rly nice work

cheers
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:
any update????
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DarthSandmann:
Very good idea! But actually its even without these improvements a very great app :) THANKS!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Sanien:
Works great on Omnia 7

Running Tango custom ROM.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] egzthunder1:
I have a quick request. Do you think that you can somehow make something similar to this bu that also acts as the 3 capacitive buttons (Back, Home, Search) that would be on top of any app? The reason I ask, if you look at my previous post in page 2 of this thread, is that I not only broke the data cable for the volume buttons, but I somehow messed up the one for the capacitive buttons as well.

Not really sure if it is even possible to make an app "float" on top of any app, but it would certainly be a life saver if it was possible. Thanks a bunch!

power slide: brightness is not working on my hd7 8773 rom

app say :error occured:cannt find the file specified
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Racxie:
Like others volume works fine but if I try to slide the brightness at all on Power Slider the app crashes and closes instantly, and if I tap either Low, Med or High it displays the following at the bottom:

I have a Interop unlocked Omnia 7.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Racxie: Mark the app as "Trusted" using WP7 Root Tools. The app makes changes to the registry; it will need higher-than-normal permissions to do so.

Error 4EC (1260 in decimal): Blocked by policy.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Racxie:
Thanks very much, that fixed it!

I'm not really confident or experienced enough to play around with Root Tools unless I'm following instructions, but I guess I should do at least a tiny bit of tinkering to figure stuff like this out:p
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Being conservative on what you do or don't mess with in WP7 Root Tools is a good idea; there is certainly potential to mess up your phone with an app that powerful! However, Heathcliff74 seems to have done a great job of making to policy change both safe (even for apps that don't need it) and reversible.

Any time you see error 1260 (4EC), elevating the app by marking it as "trusted" in the WP7 Root Tool policy pivot should be the first thing you try.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] crawler009:
Very nice app.

Could you please add another feature?

I would like to have 3 live tiles,

one with max brightness

one with nomal brightness

one with min brightness

Please
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Crash1k:
Nice App! Thanks.

Would it be possible to create a function in this App which allows you to lower the brightness even below the "low" setting?

Even on "low" it's still too bright when it's all dark around you.

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Racxie:
Will keep that in mind :) hopefully I won't see that error too much! And yes, Heathcliff has certainly done a really great job not just with Root Tools, but everything he's contributed towards the WP7 scene.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] knightluffy:
hello, I`m using your brightness control, but it has some error on it. Look below:

Error occurred: The system cannot find the file specified.

what`s wrong? I have opened the policies in root manager and wp7 root tools.

The brightness setting could not be used. btw, is it can take brightness lower?

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SilverDragon24:
I've used the source of this app to develop an app on my own (my own little contribution to wp7 development) and i plan to put it on xda too. I've built the app but when i deploy it to the phone it replaces power slider (works fine) since i used the same project i downloaded, just changed all the code in it..... can anyone give me a tutorial add references for Dllimport and WP7RootToolssdk to a new project? I've never referenced DLLs on any project before...... so I don't know how to do it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] LuSiD7:
+1 on this. I have the same problem. My build and phone are at my signature. Is this xap compatible? I really find this app very helpful.

If not, does anyone here knows which registry settings values control the low-medium-high levels on the standard brightness menu? For me low is almost ok for pitch dark situations, medium is a little too bright (I would like to alter only this setting if possible for the sake of my battery mostly) and High is like a torch!

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks and keep up!

Just want to say thanks for this app, it made my one of my HTC 7 Pro handsets useable again after the volume buttons stopped working, its is also installed on my 7 pro that works fine as I found it is so much faster to use this app to ajust the volume than using the volume buttons themselves!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carboncache:
I haven't seen anything to suggest otherwise, but is there any reason that I maybe haven't received the 4.0.4 update yet is because I have an app that is not compatible with API 15 (4.0.3+)? Does anybody know if the updates take anything like that into consideration? I have a feeling it's not, but I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
That will have no impact on whether you receive the update. The only think that will influence it is your IMEI and your build fingerprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
All the OTA cares about is that the IMEI is on their list and you have the proper radio, ROM, recovery, and everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
What krohnjw said is correct. Just to add some additional detail:

All that matters for receiving the notification of an OTA update is your IMEI and your fingerprint (found in your build.prop in the line starting with ro.build.fingerprint).

For having the update install, it depends on what each individual update verifies. For example, the IMM76D from ICL53F update verifies a whole slew of items, including files found in /system, as well as the radio. The IMM48 update for yakjuux doesn't verify anything (aside from the device being maguro). No update to date has verified the recovery partition.

For having the update install automatically, it needs the stock recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carboncache:
That's the actual IMEI of my device found under settings and not the fake Atrix one I gave AT&T so I could access the faster data speeds?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
What you gave ATT makes no difference, the imei of he device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carboncache:
That's good enough for me. Thanks!
