Right, put this one to bed...

Porting the android kernel to your device, which is what Sony did, takes time, especially to get it stable. I don't see any problem in them using the .32 kernel in ICS at all.
[Kindle Fire General] kumoc:
I made a mistake that when I do the following commands:

unzip fbmode.zip

adb push fbmode /data/local/fbmode
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/fbmode
adb shell /data/local/fbmode
adb reboot

But i forgot to copy the TWRP 2.0.img to the device.

Now KF stuck in the fbmode, i can not get out of it. Anyone know the command to get out of fbmode, I did try fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot but it always boot to fbmode.

Thank you.

*************

I try the command

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 5002m

then my KF has boot into normal mode.

Problem solve. Search button win :))
[Kindle Fire General] lmntone:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

That should do it.

If you are trying to install it, just run...

fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img
[Kindle Fire General] smirkis:
u copy twrp to your fastboot folder not your kf, than do fastboot boot twrp2.0.img or whatever u have it named.
[Kindle Fire General] kumoc:
I did copy to my fastboot folder in my PC but didnt work, I think the correct way its copy into device root folder.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dragon_Sangrr:
So here's the deal I'm fairly new to rooting and all that. So I recently upgraded to the official Gingerbread FW 2.3.6 via Kies Mini and now I want to root. I'm not sure if I just messed up by upgrading to 2.3.6 cause alot of ppl are saying you can't root with it. So I tried anyways using the latest version of SuperOneClick put phone in USB Debugging, and installed the Infuse drivers straight from Kies Mini. So I hit ROOT and it stopped at Step 5 and didn't work. I tried over and over about 10 times and even downloaded a earlier version of SuperOneClick and watched tons of YT rooting videos but can't get it to work. I'm a big noob also can someone help me with unzipping files. I know u can use Winrar but its not free antithetil way to unzip? I really just want to root and flash Zeus V6 and use ICS Launcher it looks REALLY good.! Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Anyone based in UK or has experience of Virgin/T-Mobile service/settings

I have 2 identical GS II's both on contract to Virgin Mobile both have been flashed to same version of ICS and both are running the same modem both on same plan and both using Virgin sims.

phone #1

PDA:I9100XXLPQ

Phone:I9100XXK14

CSC:I9100XALPQ

Build Info: Fri Mar 9 01:58:19 kst 2012

phone #2

PDA:I9100XXLPQ

PHONE:I9100XXk14

CSC:I9100XALPQ

Build info: Fri Mar 9 01:58:19 KST 2012

Virgin T-Mobile and Orange are sharing network coverage with Virgin phones picking up the strongest signal in the given area from either VM/T-M or Orange

MY problem is.

Phone #1 detects only T-Mobile, O2 uk Vodaphone and Orange but no Virgin/virgin at all. and has very poor signal reception and will not send or receive MMS and frequent loss of network.

Phone #2 sitting on same desk picks up Virgin O2-UK vodaphone and virgin ( note lack of capital V ) bit no orange or T-Mobile and sends MMS but with a similar poor signal and frequent loss of network

I have checked the APN settings on both phones and they are the same I have setup MMS on both phones the same and checked the IMIE numbers are correct for each phone.

I have tried several ICS versions and will consider returning both to Stock GB as a last resort ( btw both worked fine before ICS and both worked before LPQ)

There is nothing on the VM web site and as I have rooted both am reluctant to return to VM in case there is a warranty issue.

Any help/advice would be appreciated and I have searched the forums for any similar issues but have not found any that match this particual problem..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Simple usual answer is you do not have firmware from Virgin on your phone so it does not have a clue as to network .

Firmware bit that counts in this case is the CSC files CarPhone Warehouse firmwares CSC usually contains Virgin network settings .

Normal method with no CSC is to set up all network stuff manually including SMS .

As the firmware is not your phones firmware it may well be worth trying different modems for better reception .

VM should normally default to TMobile network or at least work off that .

You may have a bad firmware flash .
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawasakii:
Thanks for you explaination it made complete sense the way you explained it..

so Armed with that knowledge I took the most pressing problem phone ( The wife's, I know there is a high risk of domestic warfare :rolleyes: if I screw it up but at least its not my phone bricked :cool: )

I wiped all the appropriate caches etc and rooted right the way back to my original backed up GB firmware (GT-I9100_CPW_I9100XWKI4_I9100CPWKH1_I9100XXKI1.tar.md5)

and it all worked well detected all the original networks and registered with VM with T-M and Orange as alts.

This is the point where my lack of knowledge kicks in.

I had made a CWM backup of the ICS in case going back to GB was not the answer. I had also done a backup via kies of data/contacts/music/pictures/settings etc etc via kies facility before I flashed back to GB. I was not worried about any purchased apps as I am able to re-install them if needed. However the kies backup would not import to GB even the contacts came back with failed. So to save further domestic aggro I flashed rooted and then used CWM to restore the ICS backup so after several hours I am back to the original point, albet wiser ( a little ).

I tried several modems going backwards from ICS into GB alas none had any real improvement ( even the modem KH1 which seemed to work so well in GB mode)

So here is where I have to ask the following questions:

1. Data importing backwards from ICS to GB is this possible ? I use Titanium backup pro when rooted and kies when unrooted.

2. is there an ICS XXLPQ compatable CSC avail that is close to the CPW settings in ( I presume its the XXKI1 part in GT-I9100_CPW_I9100XWKI4_I9100CPWKH1_I9100XXKI1.tar.md5. ) and would it be possible to flash/upgrade the current I9100XALPQ alone with Odin.

3. if non of the above are possible then maybe recommend a divorce lawyer :rolleyes:

many thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GNRS:
At least with Titanium Backup, it should work correctly.

Phone: I9100XXKE7 (tried a few different modems this one works so stuck with it)

Ive been looking for a while now and cant find a way to unlock the mopho, i tried booting the phone with other sim cards and nothing happens.

Anybody know how?

The SIM is unlock on your phone. But that is only for international carriers and international use. There are no unlock SIM for US carriers at the moment.

When i used the 1.5 latest version, it's not like the one on the screenshot, still old design of s2. Or the new design only for ics?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bangalorerohan:
^How did you flash?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mazz90:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bangalorerohan:
Works on All ROM!

Just download the zip, extract it.

Copy the content of the zip which are in /system/app

Replace them using rootexplorer or equivalent app!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] erik07:
I didn't flash it, just copied it to /system/app and rebooted.

Edit: I copied it again, i did it twice and it's not showing the keyboard anymore, and really noticed the name of the zip xxlpq, that is an ics s2 firmware. So it will not be available or compatiblw for gb, so it will only work on cm9 port by dhiru, not on stock gb or any custom gb roms.

Edit2: here is the link from the original thread,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17893939

It was clearly stated ics version 1.5, and if you download it, the name of zip has xxlpq in it. Just being clear so that other users wouldn't be confused.

Updated via Kies. Disappointed it is not the ICS update but it is more stable (not rebooted today or yesterday - normally reboots at least twice per day) and has blue bits at the edge of the screen when you try to overscroll... So far no negative issues.

I have a ego running fresh evo 4.2, when I open any camera app the app functions properly but the image is solid white, this started after I flashed netarchy toastmod kernel, so I flashed back to the stick kernel and it still isn't working

Any help?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volk9029:
Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing? You should not flash froyo kernel on gingerbread rom. Maybe reflash the rom.

Sent from my lair.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgriese7:
I flashed using kernel manager
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volk9029:
Try flashing normal way from recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik cache first then flash kernel, reboot, let it settle for 10 min.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgriese7:
Solved

I wasn't paying attention the android versing when I flashed, flashed the htc stock kernel for 2.3 and all is well!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slickromeo:
So I just received my Galaxy Nexus phone yesterday and I am very excited to be on the cutting edge again :-)

So i'm just wondering.

When one of your buddies asks you if you could show them your phone, how do you show off your Galaxy Nexus phone to others?

I assume the way you show your phone off depends on the person you're showing it to.

for example, if I'm showing this phone off to my fellow android fans, then I'd probably just mention the key points such as NFC, and its on ICS.

but how would you WOW someone who's using a blackberry? Or using a windows phone? or using an iPhone?

I have a few ideas but wanted to hear feedback from users on this forum :cool:

Here's what some of you are posting:

1) Just show off the mere sight of a superior phone :-)

2) Android ICS

3) Screen Size

4) face unlock

5) gallery picture widget

6) shutter speed

7) photo effects

8) android beam

9) multi-tasking, easy swipe to close apps

10) swipe notifications to remove them

11) re-sizable widgets

12) flick through album widgets photos

13) flick through subscribed videos youtube widget

14) panorama camera

15) speech to text on any text input field

16) "Grab the phone, press the mic, say "Navigate to <insert destination here>" and hand them the phone..." lol thanks BinkXDA

17) Using Google Wallet in front of friends

18) HD Youtube videos in fullscreen

19) CRT Lockscreen animation

20) "Scrolling in the app launcher (seeing the next page coming out from below the current one)."

21) "Scanning your friends' NFC debit cards and part of their card number showing on your screen."

22) Nova launcher 3d effect

23) notification light (light flow)

24) "plugging a USB cord and Mouse & essentially turning the phone into a computer which it already is and then showing it on the TV Monitor"

25) "Pull out your standard battery and replace with an extended. iPhone users would probably be amazed. "
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BytecodeMe:
You wouldn't have to even use your phone to impress someone using an I phone... They would be down at just the sight of a superior phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toxvaerd:
Android ICS! Nuff said ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doublea500:
Few ways...

1. Take the phone out. Insta-Jelousy!

2. Compare ANY phones screen size to the gnex and show it off.

3. If necessary, whip out face unlock.

4. Customization, try to show as much off as you can (ie:change button colors on the bottom bar)

5. optional-Screen pictures, shutter speed, photo effects...

As long as any person with an iphone uses the statements "i love my iphone" (general common backup iphoner defence statement" or "eh, does it do...". Then you won!

As for people with blackberries, apparantly a crappy keyboard that is hard to click, and bbm is enough for them to COMPLETELY be ignorant to everything around them. blackberry users could care less about screen size. Why? ignorancy!

I personally also use this - http://www.amazon.com/Green-Android..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1333734122&sr=1-2 as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zolah:
Loads of my friends have android phones but they have like htc sensation or htc sensation XE or htc sensation XL lol... You get the point.

Me and my buddy both have a Gnex so we like to beam **** to each other for funsies.

We be all like oh have you seen this video on youtube... Oh ok ill beam it to you.

Oh ive downloaded a sick app... Here ill beam it to you ;)

They HTC crew no likey when we show off :rolleyes:

Google chrome is also a nice app for ICS to flash around.

The new "task manager" is kinda nice to jump between apps and swipe to kill.

I like how you can swipe notifications away from the pull down shade too.

All these little things can really turn people green when you show them all in a row.

Re sizeable widgets on the default home launcher

Youtube widget to flick through your subscribed videos...

Album widget to flick through photos...

0 shutter lag when taking pictures...

Panorama mode...

You get the point.

Edit: oh yeah... 4.65 inch 720p screen is kinda sweet too... Just thought i'd throw that in too

I've found that it's the simple things that really wow people. Here are some of the things that I've gotten many comments about:

-The CRT lockscreen animation.

-YouTube videos in fullscreen HD (over WiFi) - this really gets people, they say "wow, it looks so HD" and then I say "it is HD - 720p".

-Paying for your food at McDonald's. Shocks your buddies as well as the people behind the till.

-Scrolling in the app launcher (seeing the next page coming out from below the current one).

-Scanning your friends' NFC debit cards and part of their card number showing on your screen.

Used NFC for the first time at McDonalds today and by the reaction, I am pretty sure I was the first one to use it at that one.

Poor misguided souls.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VaKo:
The only thing that's made an iPhone user jealous of any Android phone I've owned is being able to pull out my phone, scan a bar code and have the warranty and/or system information from any bit of Dell kit we have on site, from laptops to SAN's. Other than that we have completely different uses for our phones, and where my GNex is better for browsing the web or doing little random tasks, the iPhone is far better for gaming.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
ok not to be mean or cheesy but I have to say that I thoroughly love when I use google wallet and I have had at least 5-6 cashiers go "oh wow how did you do that? was it an app? what is it so I can get it on my iPhone...." and then i smile....and walk away

oh but my absolute favorite is when i go out with my friends from work to bar hop and who majority have iPhones and they turn to ask me "hey uh I think your phone would be better for the navigation thing...."

and the panorama picture email requests of certain places or events dont hurt either ;)
