You can use any Modem with any Kernel. You could install it just fine on an EL29 Kernel.

Flash it in Odin
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frankquattrone:
Can't you just flash through CWM? That's what I did when I was testing out modems. I'm on Blazer 4.0 and started with EL29. Tried a whole bunch and ultimately went back to EL29. I tried FC24 and it seemed like I wasn't getting reception a lot of places and a lot of times when I tried to upload pics to Facebook, it would fail. I went home and tested with speedtest.net and I was getting only like 250kb/s down and 20kb/s up. So I sat there for 30 mins testing out modems; flash, update profiles/PRL, ran 3-4 speed tests and then flashed again. FD19 was around 800/75, FD16 was 400/50 and all the results were Evdo-0 and FB27 was 900/50 while EL29 1.2Mb/200.

Hi all, tnx for read

I may know what's "better" as fastest and less battery use os for my x10 Mini Pro, and i want understent before i try, 'cos it requires time and some risk, changing my CM7Pro on v2.1.1.A.0.6 for use after CM7 on nAa kernel. I've read something about that, last should much faster and after downclock and undervolt it should answer me as fastest and less battery use, as i want.

Or some other rom can be better than CM7?

i ask about how can i log in Recovery mode for Xperia Arc LT15i without flashing kernels.

I want to enter recovery of sony , want to keep sony logo and the ability also to enter recovery without pc.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Do you have you root? If do you can install clockworkmod/cwm which will get you into recovery mode there is a link to download in the dev section or go to market and download it is free.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muhammed Jalal:
thanks For your reply.

i've tried to root my device by " DoomLord v4 zerg rush " but it failed.

could you help me rooting it ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cedi0117:
uhm are you using the stock rom from sony?

because i'm pretty sure .62 cant be rooted with zergRush
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Like the post above you can't directly root.62 with zergrush method.

If your bootloader is locked you can use flashtools to downgrade to .42 then get root with zergrush, then you can update over the air to .62 and still keep root.

If your bootloader is unlocked do not update over the air out you will brick your phone.

Look at the stickies you will find all the tools you need.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muhammed Jalal:
the Bootloader is opened and i uses a prerooted kernel and Windy Ser1es 30.5 rom.

when i try to use titanium back up, it said Root : can't access. so why ? i dnt know.

now, i want to do root manually, how i can do this ?

i want to keep my opened boot loader and keep sony logo with recovery, how can i do this also ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Flash DooMKernel to get root and then flash the other kernel to keep the Sony logo.

But why do you want to keep that Sony logo?

DooMLoRD's bootlogo looks much better
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muhammed Jalal:

another 2 Qs :

-what's the difference bet. CM7.2 and CM9.0 and which is better ?

-which kernel is best to use ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
CM7.2 = Android 2.3.7

CM9 = Android 4.0.4

For CM ROMs the included kernels are the best

For gingerbread from Sony I'd say go for DooMKernel

[HTC Amaze 4G] benyben123:
that's a big UNLESS ! :cool:
[HTC Amaze 4G] xxquicksh0txx:
Technically, if your installing a custom Rom the only different between the two phones are the ram.

Since the sensation can be clocked to 1.8ish, you can buy a bigger battery, you can port the amazes camera software.

The amaze will be a lot smoother over all though, since it does have more ram.

I would get an Amaze, there is no point in having a million roms, you only need a few good ones.
[HTC Amaze 4G] benyben123:
but the RAM (extra 256) really makes that much of a diff? because by looking at the beginning of your comment, i was sure U R going to say - get the sensation. Then U mentioned the RAM as the decisive factor.
[HTC Amaze 4G] adslee:
With the custom ROM, I'm pretty sure the Sensation will be just as smooth (if not smoother) as the Amaze
[HTC Amaze 4G] xxquicksh0txx:
256mb will make quite a big difference, the stock sensation Rom is a lot more laggy than the stock amaze Rom is, and they're practically the same thing. If not less "stuff" on the sensation.

So unless you can't handle not flashing a Rom every day, get the amaze.

Even with underclocking to 1.2ghz my phone is still smooth, and you get the battery life of the sensation.

Now of course, everyone here will be biased towards the amaze. And if you ask the sensation people they'd probably say the sensation.

It all comes down to your personal taste, I was in the same position as you. But I chose the Amaze, and I don't regret it at all.

If you can, go into a T-Mobile store and test them out.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ITALIANNYC:
And btw.. If you plan on buying the Amaze, its free right now on T-Mobile.com with new activation or upgrade till Sunday. If you want the online pricing and are upgrading, call tmobile and ask for the retention department.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darmokk:
So I have had the call echo issue for some time. Specifically once I started flashing ICS leaks left and right, but come to find out our issue is HARDWARE related rather than software related. To be clear this is a fix for the caller echo issue where the person you are talking to on the phone hears their own voice echoing back to them.

This thread pretty much sums up the whole thing.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1441510

Cliff notes: There is a speaker that has come loose in your phone either from some suspect glue, or perhaps even a rough tumble if you've dropped your phone once or twice. Once this happens, the nearby NC (noise cancellation) microphone picks it up and the call echo follows.

The fix here is very simple, you just need to unscrew the 6 tiny screws (careful not to strip them, and remove and reinstall them in the same order) and then pop off the casing that protects your T-989's innards. While the thread (and pics) above are for the international Galaxy SII, the important part at the top that needs to be covered (the speaker) is the same.

I tried the fix without really doing anything except removing the casing, cutting a small sliver of an old business card to put on top of the speaker, and closing and screwing the case back on. Didn't mess with anything else, and the fix works great. I called a couple people before I reinstalled the screws and I encourage everyone to make a test call to make sure the echo is gone before putting everything back together.

This is a really simple/easy fix to get rid of the call echo, and it explains while some people have the echo with/without a case and to varying degrees. But I'm now enjoying Racing's UCLD ICS Rom with no call echo and all is right in the world.

If anyone needs anymore help just let me know, and those of you that have the echo and try this please report back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sarni84:
Interesting..... tho I do not have the dreaded call echo, this makes sense because I never dropped my phone. . I know what to do now if I have the problem tho!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeypaws:
Thanks forbthe saceifice my question is tjis: if itsbhardware, then why is it that i dont get the same issue when running non-ics roms. It seems to me that running a non sgh-t989 ics ported rom is the issue. While some of us have been lucky, its happened to me with every ics ported rom but never with gb or aosp roms(eugene cm7 kang). ??? On a side note, if thats what it takes ro fix it, im more than willing to wait for ics for our phone than possibly break something and void my warranty. Also, ive used a case and also havent and have dropped my phone a few times. I would like to see other confirmed reports of people trying this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] defconoi:
This is a software issue not a hardware issue since in gb I get no echo
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darkside79:
Yea I second that! Hardware issue

Makes no since.it works great on gb Roms. Nice thought through. But I gotta say Epic Fail!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] goldfingerfif:
Make sense why some users never experience it and others do no matter what they flash.

I am thinking Samsung obviously must have adjusted the noise cancellation mic sensitivity or settings with ICS. It could also be the ICS framework with the way it handles it or maybe the RIL (radio interface layer) of the ICS roms.

Either way it makes a lot of sense especially if so many dont experience the issue on any rom while others it is every ICS rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rfail1988:
Not an epic fail if he beat the call echo issue. Its quite a macguyver type fix but it did the trick. I would rather wait for it to be fixed on the software side myself, however.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] casonswag:
+1 I think this thread should be for pple who has dropped they're phone some physical damage or something like that because it can just be a software issue
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] casonswag:
Thats true or it could be that we don't have a official ics modem +Ics rom it could be interfering some how
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] defconoi:
Call echo only happens with volume up all the way. If u put in call volume to medium-low it isn't noticeable. Call ur cell from a landline and blow into the mic on landline phone, if it repeats back lower volume and repeat until u don't hear it. What's happening is the headset speaker is too loud and the other mic is picking it up at the top
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] casonswag:
That may not be best for pple in the city with low call volume i know they would want to be able to actually hear the person outside you know

well i never dropped my phone but i do have that issue with ICS and GB!!! when im on ICS my friends says that there is an echo when im on GB they say they can hear me wierd, and when i take the case off they say its a little bit better. so i do think its a hardware issue!!

in the other hand my friend that works at tmobile says that he had heard this issue with all of tmobile phones not just this one
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darmokk:
Thanks for the replies guys, good discussion on this topic so far.

I agree this is definitely a "macguyver" type fix, but hey if it works it works. I've been daily driving Racing's various ICS ports since the initial leak in SPITE of the caller echo issue (I just talked to everyone on speakerphone lol) so this is really welcome news to me.

As far as damaging your phone, IMHO hacking the phone and installing Rom's is just as potentially dangerous (if not more so) than taking out 6 tiny screws out and inserting a small piece of paper underneath the casing, but its everyones decision if they want to try or not.

I have verified with 4 different callers and tested myself that the fix works for me WITHOUT a case. When I put the D30 case back on my phone there is still echo. Not as bad as before, but its definitely there.

So rolling with no case is kinda annoying but I was thinking of getting an extended battery anyways so this just makes it easier ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] c130pilot:
FWIW I tried this fix and still get call echo... Slightly reduced maybe but definitely still there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darmokk:
Interesting do you have a case on your T989? Are you on a GB rom or an ICS leak?

Did you use a business card or just a thin piece of paper? Sorry about all the questions just trying to get as much info as possible from people experiencing this issue.

I also ONLY had the call echo issue when I flashed an ICS rom (and I had the call echo on all 3 of them), however when I went back to STOCK Gingerbread it went away. So maybe this issue is part software/part hardware?

The ICS leaks were the first roms I ever flashed, so I'm interested to know if ANYONE has the call echo on STOCK Gingerbread? I'm thinking that something in ICS increases the gain or does something to either the NC microphone or the speaker somehow?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] c130pilot:
Happened only on ICS Roms with and without case. GB Roms are ok. Used a business card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darmokk:
Bummer man sorry to hear :(

If it is a "little" bit better with the business card in there you could try to maybe fold it over and make it a bit thicker? If it helps even a little bit maybe there is some potential there to fix it?

where are the noise cancellation files in the ics leak?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
my experience from today... i went back to 100% stuck and still had echo.. not as bad with an ics rom.. but my girlfriend had told me that she was hearing it so i took off the cover and she says that it was better. so i kept talking to her and then she said the she hears an echo again so i started to talk more into the mic.. and it was gone. so i do believe its a hardware issue and its when my mouth is not close enough to the mic is when others hear an echo.. ok then again i rooted the phone and flash ics megamix on it so i gave my phone to my girlfriend to see if i can hear an echo.. so when she was holding the phone correctly i didnt heard it but when she put the phone in her shoulder and to hold it there while she talks i hear the echo.. so tell me if this a software or hardware issue.. i think it have something to do with the surrounding and how laud you talk to the person

Yes, yes it is. I'm running TMO rom on my sky with the conversion kit. Only thing I've found doesnt work is the wifi tether. I think it's related to the kernel.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] neo_stythys:
while you're making a call

bring up the menu and hit 'noise cancellation on'

, solves your problem without opening your case. every rom that i've tried (even skyrocket ics ports) has it turned off by default. turn it on and you're good to go.

yes, our phones have two microphones (bottom = main, top = active noise cancellation). if you have noise cancellation off, it just simply captures sound from both.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] duglas:
You are right, this used to fix mine, and I had to do it everytime I was on the phone, but a week or so ago this did not even help.. But I took it apart and in less than 10 minutes I have no more echo!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xdascene:
In my experience turning off noise reduction is what helps with the echo/feedback issue and it is enabled by default which is why it shows the option to "turn off" when viewing the in-call menu.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fuse1820:
Here..

Flash this file

ICS only!!!!

Its still a work in progress. Flash my auto rotate fix over it in case the rotation messes up again. Although it should be more faster and responsive in addition to fixing the echo.

This is a real permanent fix, at least I hope. It uses the correct audio paramters from UVKL1 so noise cancellation works properly

hardware vs software

i received a refurbished phone on a warranty claim. sgs2 t989. the echo was horrible. i took the back off. put a piece of paper towel to enhance the speaker gasket on the voice side of the speaker. then i did the business card thing on the back with a paper towel lining between the speaker back and the business card. the card alone wouldn't work. im running the ics rom now, but the echo was there before the root, however not as bad. it seems to me that the cause of the echo is one in the same. the rom changes the sensitivity and exposes the weakness of the speaker installation. therefore there must be two solutions... fix the software to de sensitize the noise reduction component or seal off the speaker enough to eliminate sound leaks completely so the now very sensitive nr on ics roms cant hear it. i also found that reducing the volume level (in call) helps to eliminate echo from loud callers.....:cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Illuminatiii_X:

Thanks for the suggestion. Could you upload a picture to see how you did it? The stock rom does not seem to have the option to check/uncheck noise cancellation, and the permanent fix here is done on a phone with a different configuration from the T989D.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] m tr4nch:
not sure if anyone else is still having this problem, i certainly was.. i tried doing the business card trick and it didn't really do anything.

however, during my in-call testing, the echo that the other person was hearing went away while holding my finger over the noise cancellation mic, and immediately came back when i took my finger off again. so i ended up putting a piece of tape over the hole and it has seemed to solve the problem for now. i used a small piece of thin metallic silver tape from my job and it matches great with the silver bezel.
