Yes, you can use this CWM.zip, you will find an option for backup (there won't be mention to nandroid, so don't look for it).
[Galaxy S II General] Timbop37:
Okay, just so that I get this straight...

I go into recovery

Install CWM.zip from sdcard

backup using backup/restore in recover

Wipe data/factory reset from recovery

Wipe cache partition

Where is dalvik cache? Also, will not the factory reset put me back to GB 2.3.4?

Sorry to appear dumb but I just want to get it clear in my head.

Thanks again

Tim
[Galaxy S II General] luizlee86:
Dalvik is under advanced in cwm.

You will do everything under cwm, ok? Enter normal recovery, apply cwm.zip and do everything in cwm recovery.

No, it won't take you back to gb.
[Galaxy S II General] Timbop37:
Sorry, just one more thing. Once I have reset/wiped using recovery do I just restart my phone and use or do I have to restore the backup?

Tim
[Galaxy S II General] luizlee86:
Just reboot. The backup is just for the case of something going wrong.. the nandroid backup backs up everything.. I mean EVERYTHING.. so if you wipe everything and restore the backup it will be as if you didn't wipe anything.
[Galaxy S II General] Timbop37:
I have completed everything and I am in the process of reorganising my phone, having reimported contacts, etc.

Thank you very much for your help. It is much appreciated.

[Galaxy S II General] DescendDescend:
I cant get this method to work despite numerous attempts. Not sure where I am going wrong.

It all appears to work okay (Superuser is in the Apps menu) but when I run Root Checker it says it is not rooted and this does appear to be true because the latest Total Recall will not work either.

Maybe someone else could try Root Checker and confirm that they are actually rooted.
[Galaxy S II General] luizlee86:
Glad it worked. ;)

I suggest you to try other kernels... but remember, when you flash other kernel, give it some time untill you make conclusions, since, as I said, 3 or 4 full charges are needed to settle things up.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Method of choice to root .

Root + CWM .

[Galaxy S II General] davidwilson83:
All you have to do is install cwm.zip onto external SD card and install SU-Installer-Signed.zip onto your internal SD (I tried it on external but CWM didn't recognise the file). Reboot into recovery, then choose install update from SD card and install cwm.zip . Once that's installed click on install zip from SD card and install SU-Installer-Signed.zip and once that's installed just go back and reboot.

If Superuser is in your apps list then I'm fairly certain you're rooted. I did exactly what you did and was able to install custom roms, overclock and every app that needs root (Titanium Backup, Rom Manager CWM) asked for permission and it was granted. Give it another try and see how you go. :thumbup:
[Galaxy S II General] Timbop37:
Is there a similar method to this for installing CWM recovery and root on the S3, or do you need to install CWM recovery via Odin?

Thank you
[Galaxy S II General] Chef_Tony:
isn't that something you should be asking in the sgs3 section?
[Galaxy S II General] Timbop37:
Sorry, I appreciate that but I wasn't sure if I could articulate what I wanted. It seemed more appropriate to ask in this thread as it was very similar, but I guess your are right.

Bro why you want to change it?? White looks good :-) and by the way its not possible to change front means display panel only back flap you can change but its not possible for full body replacement and DEFINITELY NOT IN PUNE :D i know it:) btw if you want to give some black look check out this case

[HTC Amaze 4G] lamortcroix:
I need help. Normally I never ask questions I perfer to scan the forum looking for answers but this is my first question.

So we all know by now there is a leaked ICS Rom for the HTC Amaze. Well I downloaded the RUU put it at the root of the external SD and loaded it in hboot. Hboot starts the normal routine of looking for images to flash and dismissing all the missing ones. When it comes to PH85IMG it will stop the sidebar will take a minute to slowly load to full and the following result would say:

Loading...[PH85IMG.zip]

Wrong zipped image!

then it will finish the routine and essentually dismiss. After that all I can do is return to normal use

Phone info:

T-mobile HTC Amaze 4G rooted S-ON

Android 2.3.7/ Sense 3.5

Faux's v009 Kernal

thanks kindly for the help developers.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ray196:
I think the only way for someone S-on to install this update is to return the phone back to stock. you have to revert your bootloader back to locked and make the phone stock again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lamortcroix:
In that case I guess it's about time to reach S-OFF. To those reading I'll give the result.
[HTC Amaze 4G] joeyboomboom:
I just went through the whole s-off procedure and was able to flash the image after that. I didn't revert back to stock. I guess that was my problem too, but everything is working fine with ICS so far.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lamortcroix:
I relocked the bootloader and was able to get ICS.

kinda sad though im about to root it just to get rid of the bloat apps O.o. Umm I hope others can use this as guide.
[HTC Amaze 4G] juaneto06:
Please help!!! cannot flash ics rue

Hey! I have a similar problem. I have relocked the boot loader, NO root, S-ON... basically the only thing I did was unlocking and relocking the bootloader.

I copied the zip file in the ext-sd folder. In Hboot mode it scans the sdcard but a "NO image or wrong zip image" appears... So I reboot normally....

Now a strange thing happens and the zip file i copied onto the sdcard is 0Kb!!!! I tried several times... can sameone help me?

BTW I have a external sd card intalled (actually is one form another phone formatted as fat 32) + the internal memory.

thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ray196:
Did you renamed the zip to ph85img.zip?
[HTC Amaze 4G] juaneto06:
yes I did.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ray196:
Is your phone a Tmobile amaze 4g?
[HTC Amaze 4G] juaneto06:

[HTC Amaze 4G] Ray196:
I see the proiblem now, the file is suppose to be around 487mb.
[HTC Amaze 4G] juaneto06:
Yes it is 487mb, I ment that after I tried t hoot... i rebooted normally and checkd the file.. then it was 0Kb... I'm keep trying but really not understanding why is this not working. thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ray196:
Make sure the zip you have is good and make sure the SD card is good. strange that you place a 487mb file and it changes to 0kb on its own. try formatting the

SD and try again or try using a different one.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
I would re-copy the zip to your sd card again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] juaneto06:
Thanks! I will try that when back home.

One thing that maybe matters... my phone is a tmobile one but i am using it nit in the us with a different carrier. I bought it in ebay unlocked for any carrier... maybe that's the issue?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ray196:
Should not be a problem, sim unlock is has nothing to do with it. my phones are sim unlocked too.

This may be the same issue you been having.
[HTC Amaze 4G] juaneto06:
Thanks! I found out that my external micro sdcard is corrupted, so i am trying to find a new one and try again.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z00100:
When I had my S2 I went through a lot of screen protectors, the one that I stuck with was the SGP Steinheil Matte series.

It was the only one that didn't give me a rainbow shimmer effect.

I want a matte screen protector for my Gnex but it seems SGP doesn't make one yet for the Gnex.

I bought a highly rated matte screen protector from Amazon called Sir Lancelot's Armor, and it sucked big time. I kept it for about 15 minutes before ripping it out.

Any hints guys?

I hate swyping with my glossy screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nocoast:
I know this is gonna sound goofy but i actually think the screen protecter that comes with the otterbox defender is quite matte, and does a decent job of "reducing the rainbows" If it were. Definitely a case with great build quality and if you don't have asurion (not sure what your carrier does for phone insurance) then it would also be something id recommend (dropped the phone in that case a good 5-10x without the slightest ding, or scratch...I know you weren't looking for cases but most "good" stick on ones have been glossy that I've seen...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ddgarcia05:
I picked up a 3 pack of matte screen protectors off Amazon last week and just installed one last night. It only cost about $2.99 free shipping. They've passed my polarized sun glasses to test.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krze:
The Ringke Slim case comes with 2 dry application screen protectors that are Matt and worked with the case very well.. I used it for a while until I got the XO Skin. I switched because I like the clear look better then the matt look.

These might be the screen protectors.

Hi,

Did any one tried some Undervolting and gained serious battery improvement!?

I'm lookinv into this option.

Also I heard doing it in firmware is batter than having an app running.

Any suggestions about a Guide in XDA on how to do it to Our lovely charmin-battery -eater-screen-owner Galaxy Nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
I don't think it makes that much of a difference to be honest, though I never bother undervolting my phone. Doing it is simple enough though, usually ROMs will have a section in settings dedicated to 'Performance' where you can change the voltages.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] nomiset:
Just got the battery tonight. Will have to test it for a few days.

I will then make a review and an unboxing vid. I have high hopes for this battery. So expect it! :)

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Since I came from a broken original battery its hard to compare for me to compare it with the two. Thus this is the reason why I bought this battery.

First of all, my first cycle I pushed it to 18Hours total.

WIFI:12 Hours continuous.

GPS:OFF

MOBILE DATA: OFF

GAMES: 30mins-1hr.

Managed to push over 6 hours of SCREEN ON TIME.

First impression verdict

This battery is right off the bat great! But since i'm still doing the charges for 8-12 for the first 5 charges results are still tentative. But the battery is a must try.

Might buy this battery. Is it good?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akpasha:
Hey,

I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but couldn't find the thread. I wanted to install CWM on my phone, and installed i9100xxkp8 to root it later. Now once i installed i9100xxkp8 using Odin, Odin doesn't detect my phone anymore. The laptop I'm using is detecting it fine when the phone is switched on, but as soon as I switch to download mode, it says the USB device is not recognised.

I've a feeling this may be due to samsung MTP drivers in the phone?

Since I can't run Odin, i can't install CWM, and can't get out of this old buggy OS!

anybody has any ideas?

Thanks!

you can try this :

Root your phone with this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1501719

and download Mobile Odin, install CF-root kernel from that...

then you can get out of this buggy ROM, by flashing any custom ROM.

all that or simple put your PC online, every time you flash new ROM, windows install drivers, after that it will work.

Why on earth would he want to flash one of those three if he is on XXKP8?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cavemanxd:
I have exactly the same problem:

My phone is recognised when switch on normally. When in download mode I get the "USB device is not recognised"

This means I can't use Odin to flash a new anything, as it won't recognise the device when it's in download mode! Is there a problem with the USB drivers on the phone (I have a ROM install crash on me - thank you Keis!) Is there any way to fix them. Is there any other way to get around the problem?

It's not a problem with the USB cable, or the USB socket, or the PC - there is something wrong with the "drivers?" being used/invoked by the phone in Download mode.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
"It's not a problem with the USB cable, or the USB socket, or the PC - there is something wrong with the "drivers?"

OK, that being the case, time to think logically...

If you have Kies installed on your PC - uninstall it, reboot, re-download it, reinstall it, reboot. If you don't have it installed, download/install it & reboot. Also run Windoze update. When you run Odin, you must run it as admin on the PC you're using. And most importantly, when you do run Odin, check task manager to ensure Kies or any of its processes aren't running in the background. If they are, kill them.

Also, despite you saying it isn't one of these issues, rather than saying 'but I know it's not this ! (even tho I haven't tried/tested for problems around these)' try different USB cables (use the one supplied with the phone if you're not now), different USB ports (must use a powered/mainboard port) and also try different versions of Odin (Google them).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cavemanxd:
Thanks for the quick response:

-I did this as my first step, Although having Kies active as a process borked my flash (my bad - forgot it was installed - usually just use the Google drivers from the dev kit), it has never prevented Odin from seeing my phone in download mode before.

-Again - done and done.

-Done

I have tried a different cable, a different port (all of them) a powered hub etc...

I have previously flashed this phone with my current version of Odin. There is no reason that any of the above should apply to my case (I know logic doesn't always apply, sometimes...China...

Again. Everything worked fine, I flashed the kernels and various ROMs without issue. I had a bad flash (via odin) that hung. On reboot I was able to recover the phone via CWM back to 4.0.3 (ie. the version prior to the failed flash.)

The phone and computer chat happily when the phone in on normally (dev mode and normal). When I boot into Download mode I get the error, hence it would appear that the issue lies with whatever driver is invoked by the phone in download mode - the question is, how do I fix it? To be clear, Odin sees the phone when it is booted normally, but not when in download mode.

I am at a loss, I assume something in the nand was corrupted during the flash - not sure exactly what...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cavemanxd:
Boy is my face red!

Having tried every combination of cable / usb port I could, I managed to dig out an old dual usb powered cable (takes power from a 2nd usb port to power the device) and it worked! I guess it just wasn't getting enough power from a single usb port. Not sure why my powered usb hub didn't work - guess it's just broken :rolleyes:.

Anyway - hope this helps someone else - I know how frustrating I found this whole affair. Thanks for pointing me back in the right direction MistahBungle - saved a lot of heartache!
