[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duraaraa:
Yes. I'm in Mongolia, and I bought a Korean Galaxy S2. You can essentially flash it so that it thinks it is an international version. The only thing that won't work is the radio/tv tuner. You'll be fine, and you'll save money on it. I say go for it. Luckily, unlike the Galaxy Note, the S2 is a device where Korean and International versions are nearly identical.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petruuus:
Thanks! I'm an absolute noob when it comes to Android, but let's say I root it and install CM on it, it should work like an international version? That's what you mean by "flash it"?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swapnilraj:
Yes it should, for when you buy it, you can use the international ROMs on it through these instructions.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Before you go about flashing anything blindly though.... where you asked:

The answer is: yes. Look at the model number behind the battery. What does it say?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petruuus:
I don't have the phone yet; I'm thinking of picking one up this week. Now I know which model numbers are ok.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Just be aware that depending on which model you actually get, some firmwares in the i9100 forums will not work for you, and may in fact brick the device. Do your due diligence with research before flashing any firmwares or kernels.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] michaelmab88:
I am in the process of gathering source from cm7 devices and piecing them together into a full source tree for cm7 on the doubleshot. I am currently using the extract-files.sh script to pull proprietary files from the stock rom of the doubleshot. This script uses the proprietary-files.txt file to pull the appropriate files from the /system folder in the rom.

My question is how do I know which files to pull from the rom? Since there is no source code available for the doubleshot, I am starting with the source of the closest device (htc pyramid) which is now in the cyanogenmod source tree.

I'm using the proprietary-files.txt from here but the problem with that is that it was intended for cm9. There is no source code available for the pyramid in cm7.

Assuming that there are no differences between the proprietary files for ics and gingerbread (highly unlikely), there are still differences between the pyramid and doubleshot. So if anyone knows what to do please let me know(I would think anyone with this knowledge would have already passed this point in development, i.e. kornyone, but it never hurts to ask right??)

Thanks in advance xda community :)

hey all - I got a new D3 replacement today after the touch screen stopped working on the old one. it came with 5.7.906 installed. i am confused as to weather there is a way to unbrick it if i manage to muss it up when i go back to cm9. i love cm9 and hate the stock rom but considering this is my 5th D3 i am not willing to flash roms if i have no way to return to stock in case of hardware malfunction so i can get a new one under waranty

i appreciate any information on the topic
[Motorola Droid 3] MyNarwhalBacon:
As long as you can get to the Moto Bootloader, then it is 90% likely that you can unbrick it. The tools can be found here:

If you try to sbf with the 5.6.890 it will fail and you will probably break your bootloader as the files have changed with the update and there is no "real" way back as of yet...BUT...

Q9Nap has helped out

" if you've actually flashed the 5.7.906 leak and need to fxz your device, the stock 5.6.890 fxz will fail becuase there are some components that cannot be reverted. here's a package of 5.7.906 fxz components you can drop in to your 5.6.890 fxz folder or zip so you can flash with rsdlite:

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?r3i3ohwqirtk3b5

Hope it helps
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
So, flashing this .xml through RSD will push 5.7.906 to the phone? Because my phone refuses to accept any leak though stock recovery, but I can still flash it with AP Fastboot.
[Motorola Droid 3] ovelayer:
No theese are the files you need to add to your 5.6.890 sbf files so you can successfully flash back to 5.6.890 then you will need to install the 5.7.906 update again
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Oh, ok, so these are just the 5.6.890 FXZ files?
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
These are the 5.7.906 files that can't be reverted along with a modified xml file that has the proper md5 values for the new files.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Hold on... Will flashing these through AP Fastboot put me on 5.7.906? I'm unable to flash a .zip leak though stock recovery. It fails when "flashing BP", bricks me, and I must FXZ to 5.6.890 to get it up and running again.

Here's a video showing what happens when I try to flash 5.7.894 (have only tried this since it can be 5.6.890 FXZ'd over).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1taHiSTzd7A
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
You should only flash the package i made if you're trying to get back to 5.6.890 from 5.7.906. If you're on 5.7.894, you should still be able to flash the stock 5.6.890 fxz without any issues. Not sure why you're getting the error on bp; as long as you're using an unmodified 5.7.894 leak and stock recovery it should work fine. I'd try flashing 5.6.890 with rsdlite as it flashes all possible partitions; pete's moto-fastboot method doesn't flash everything.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
I'm currently on 5.6.890 running various safestrapped ICS builds, but would like the updated radio from the newer leaks. I'm afraid to try anything higher than 5.7.894 because I know I can't go back...until now maybe with these files. My fear was I would flash 5.7.906 with stock recovery, get bricked, and be stuck there because it failed while flashing like 5.7.894 does to the phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
The 906 update only asserts ro.product.device, while the 894 update asserts ro.build.fingerprint; in other words, 906 just checks to make sure the device is a cdma solana, 894 checks to make sure it's a cdma solana running 890. So 906 is designed to be able to flash over anything essentially, kind of like a fxz in update format.

If for whatever reason it does brick your phone, you *should* be able to restore to a mostly 890 state (boot.img, cdt.bin, mbm.bin, mbmloader_hs.bin, and recovery.img are stuck on the latest versions once 906 is flashed.)

But it is strange that 894 is failing on bp; that's the radio image. as mentioned, 894 asserts 890, so if you're on stock 890 there's no reason it should be failing. I actually tried flashing from 890 to 894 after being on 906 in an attempt to get back to full stock 890; the flash succeeded, but on reboot i was stuck in fastboot mode until i flashed the newer boot, cdt, and recovery. i have no idea why bp is failing for you :confused:
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
I wonder if it's because I have done the radio hack? I should RSD Lite to 5.6.890 since that should reflash the radio then try to immediately apply 5.7.894, then 5.7.906 on top of that. Could you add me on GTalk in case I get seriously bricked so we can work that out?
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
What radio hack are you referring to? are you using the xt883 radio? if so, that could definitely be why it's failing. sure hit me up at mhous33...
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Nope, XT862 with WiFi tether hacked radio. Request sent.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
yeah, i'd make sure your'e on fully stock 890 with no modifications before flashing 894; it should work. request accepted.
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
You can use RSD Lite to go back, and then flash .906. I use the script to do it via moto-fastboot, but whatever works for you. Radio should not be affecting it at all.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Q9Nap and I just spent a bunch of time on GTalk. I'm unable to accept any signed radio image. We're stumped as to why, but we want to figure it out.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
Flashing radio.img with rsdlite and fastboot is successful, but flashing any update in stock recovery fails on bp. only thing that makes sense that i can think of is that either the sdcard or update file is corrupt.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
I never did get around to formatting my SD card. Stock recovery only sees the EXT SD correct?
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
I'm currently chatting with Moto... This is odd. I'm going to start my own thread for it to leave this one be.
[Motorola Droid 3] MAD450r:
ovelayer Thanks very much for your help fixing my droid 3

Thanks for the information. that helped me out alot. Im legally blind and got my replacement droid 3 and I tried to sbf before I noticed it was not the same version. I managed to get into the phone by holding up and down volume at bootup then chose tools and it then boots up the rom where I was able to have a freind read it to me.

I then did so much reading before I found this topic and low and behold there is a way back from my messup. I had the same sbf that messed me up then I extracted it and extracted your zip into it as well telling to overwrite old files it made it farther the first time but still failed so I then went to recovery and wiped data factory reset then reran rsdlite 5.6.4, and all went perfectly this time

So my one question not having anyone here to read version for me does this mean im still partially on 5.7.906 ? just curiouse I know im keeping this sbf around and I even rezipped and named the one I put your files into so I can find it easily next time.

Anyone else that flashed the official or like in my case got replacement phone with 5.7.906 on it this method will work if you end up messing something up. Im back up and running on ice cream sandwhich and this time seems to be running smoother, I put the latest nightly I could find on this time :)

still every now and then data drops but I either just click a few times in and row and it comes back on, if that doesn't work turn on airplane mode for a few seconds then turn it off and data should be back for you. Other than that im very happy with this release.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Now, I haven't tested this yet, as I have no need for it, but it's a 5.6.890 SBF with the necessary updated 5.7.906 files that allow bootloader etc. flashing, but with the 890 system. It's RSD Lite flashable, but you'll need to unzip with 7zip first.

[HTC Sensation] MrMoo232:
Hi,

I have a HTC sensation xe and have bought an MHL-HDMI connector but when i plug it into my TV is it poor quality, its almost as if its just taking the resolution on the screen of the phone and stretching it to the 40" screen on the TV, rather than outputting a 720p signal. Furthermore, i tried connecting it to my 22" 1080p monitor and the results are the same.

Is this normal, surely i should be able to output at least a 720p signal.

Is there any software that lets me play around with HDMI settings?

Also, when the HDMI is plugged in with the power plugged into the converter, i always get the message "the phone is using more power than the supply" so it drains my battery no matter what, iv tried closing all unwanted apps.

Have i got a dodgy converter? should i try a different ROM? im currently using revolution (newest version)
[HTC Sensation] Kurisu87:
is the video you are trying to play actually recorded in 720 or 1080? if you are for example playing a video recorded in 320 x 240 (low) the tv will stretch to fit the screen.
[HTC Sensation] MrMoo232:
Iv tried videos recorded in 1080p by the phone and iv tried videos iv downloaded to the phone from my pc that are on 1080p, 720p and an SD clip of family guy and they are all poor quality.

iv also tried angry birds and still images.

its like everythin has sharp edges, round objects on the screen have square edges (if that makes sense?)

When using the web browser (dolphin HD) the text is quite big and clear but youtube videos and flash apps are bad quality.

i just need to know if playing a HD video on the sensation should be about the same quality as playing an MKV file on the PC, if so, i have a problem and will try a re-flash.

Thx for any help :D
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinicius.carvalho:
Hi there! I followed the instructions here:

Download and unzip files. Place rootboot.img, superuser.apk & su binary in the same place you will open your command window.
Open command window:
Type; adb devices - you should see a long serial number on the screen. If no serial number appears, recheck your adb, sdk & moto usb driver files.
Type; adb reboot bootloader
Type; fastboot oem unlock - and follow the steps on your xoom’s screen (You have to accept the terms by pressing the volume down key, and then select ‘accept’ by pressing the volume up key.)
Allow the xoom to boot up completely and go back into settings and enable USB debugging again.
In the command window on your PC type; adb reboot bootloader - (if xoom does not respond, disconnect from pc and reboot manually by holding vol up + power. then reconnect after fully rebooted)
Type; fastboot flash boot rootboot.img (for WiFi)
OR Type; fastboot flash boot 3Grootboot.img (for 3G Verizon)
Type; fastboot reboot
Allow the xoom to boot completely – your xoom should be in normal operating mode for the remainder of the process.
In the command window on your PC type; adb remount
Type; adb push su /system/bin
Type; adb shell
Type; ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su (this line starts with lower case “L”, like llama)
Type; chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
Type; exit
Type; adb push Superuser.apk /system/app

to root my xoom. I have an UK xoom 3.2. And everything was going great.

After the first reboot (fastboot flash boot rootboot.img )

When the xoom booted, it was fine, I've logged into my gmail account using my wifi hotspot.

But then ...

after executing this steps and rebooting:

In the command window on your PC type; adb remount

adb push su /system/bin

adb shell

ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su (this line starts with lower case “L”, like llama)

chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

exit

adb push Superuser.apk /system/app

Now I don't have wifi anymore. The wifi only shows an error.

How can I fix this? I've did a basic search but most related to ppl using version 3.2.1, since I'm using 3.2 I did not believe it would apply to myself.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mckr32:
No idea how to fix that one.

However I can suggest using a one click rooting method in the future - i think i used a tool called xoot the 1st time to root before jumping to ICS.

The above process you mentioned was one of the things that put me off rooting at the start of ownership.

Hopefully someone will be a long soon to help with your problem

No. That is a Samsung issue. What Android System is displaying is basically every use of your phone. Any wakelock, display on, boot up, sync, anything needing an android driver, even charging because it has a script that runs. So Samsung believes this to be correct. Like a computer, Windows and it's drivers run 85% of the time versus the programs using processor power.

ICS ports and AOSP ROMs have redefined that to use other than those things above. The only stats you really need is display on time and percentage of deep sleep from CPUSpy for a given percentage of battery.

If you have your cuid number, you can go to the ics recovery thread, and nvflash the patched ics boot loader and recovery. I believe this will format all partitions and wipe the tablet clean leaving only the ics patched boot loader and cwm recovery.

I think that's the one you were talking about. I don't know why but my tab doesn't wake in "download mode" as specified. I do put it in apx with the reset/power combination but nothing happen when I enter my sbk. Strangely I can use apx with timmydean's 3.2.1 EEUs tool without problem but I can't with nflash...I succesfuly used nflash before to patch the bootloader and flash cwm when I tried the leak back then but it doesn't work anymore.

Something other than flexrom must be wrong...cmw always give me an error when formating flexrom though. At least the ICS rom that shall not be named work fine at least. As I said in my other thread, all leak based rom fail to boot...even the new cm9, probably because it use stock ics kernel. I hope the official ota update will fix it, but I doubt it because even the update.zip with stock recovery failed to boot. Thanks again for your assistance Moscow!

Well, when I fubarred my blocks, it took me a couple times till I figured out to nvflash from a normal windows cmd window, and not through adb!
