[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] gopzzz:
Good and very much needed guide.

Only few corrections needed. they are

1. Download mode by pressing Vol. down + Menu + Power

2. add links for ICS updated stock rom

3. In case of bootloader problem after final flashing DO a complete factory reset (Press and hold down Volume Up + Home + Power buttons at the same time. Release all buttons when you see SGS2 Logo.)

4. always do a factory reset clear cache after every ROM update.

At the end the day was a happy day as i could bring back my SII g for trying the JB roms....
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] neerajganga:
glad it helped u gopzzz now u can flash pier again :)

also

the links to the stock rom are not updated as phil is a bit busy dese days

also there are no 3 way package for i9100g yet except for chinese roms

and also the ics roms can be found in samfirmware.com or through checkfus
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] gopzzz:
Glad to hear

Thanks a lot for ur concern. Actually to be true after recovering from the soft brick, I flashed the only ICS firmware from the list of firmwares, Kernel and others and once again ended in bootloader freeze.. so it took time for me to come back from GB to ICS now.

Will see you soon in the vanilla rom once i install the 22082012 rom as early in few hours from now....

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] shivaraman:
just something really really funny happend now with the phone

I was on GB Superatoms rom.

I upgraded to ICS Stock and wanted to install Cyanogenmod9 (RC2) so followed

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II_G:_Full_Update_Guide

I could not proceed after Windows process step 7

It was not rooted hence I followed this got it rooted thro simple method 2.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1679778&highlight=screen

Someone had posted in the thread that we can use the temp CWM and install CM9

I did that (that was first mistake) and it was stuck in CM9 bootup screen. After that I panicked and did a lot stupid things

I went into temp cwm and did a factory rest and tried to recover from prev GB backup. That got stuck in Samsung logo.

I went back into CWM and tried to reset factory defaults.

Then It would just go into blank screen.

I had then used ODIN to install ICS 4.0.4 and Viola... I dint believe what I saw.. all my data, apps were back, and I had ICS 4.0.4 up and running.

I thought I would post this for some one you to pick up some clues. I am not an expert but I am sure you guys can use this info somehow :)
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] shivaraman:
Yes i found Odin is safest with stock ICS. then follow link below in my post to root it (method 2-non advanced) Works like charm.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uN3xp3ct3d:
Hi,

I have bricked my SGS II ICS 4.0.3. by changing build.prop (I've changed LCD Density) for the second time, and even though I have backup, wiping the whole phone, reflashing stock ROM, restoring it would be real pain in the ass (for the second time, again). So I was wondering, I can access to both recovery and download mode, and I also had USB Debugging on while the phone was running - ADB can't recognize my phone, though. Is there any way to access build.prop and change it back, or I have to do the stock-rom-flashing stuff all over again?

Thank you.

EDIT: Also I'm wondering if there is any way to change that annoying LCD Density without bricking my phone...again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You should be able to start an ADB shell from recovery and edit the build.prop file. What do you mean "ADB can't recognize my phone, though"? If you plug the phone in and type "adb devices", what does it say?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uN3xp3ct3d:
My fault, I tried to access it via Download mode and not recovery.

Now ADB recognizes my phone, however I'm unable to get superuser access. When I enter su, it gives me back following message: "Segmentation fault". Any ideas?

EDIT: I can't even push the original build.prop back to phone, I get Permission denied message.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Yikes, that sounds like memory corruption somewhere in the system partition. I know you don't want to do the full wipe thing, but it is probably your best hope.

Right, you won't be able to without superuser access. Since you're getting a segmentation fault when attempting to run "su", you don't have the rights necessary to do so.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uN3xp3ct3d:
How did I manage to mess up that by just changing one variable in build.prop (ro.sf.lcd_density)? I'm really considering downgrade to Gingerbread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Dunno, don't know what all you've done/installed/modded/etc. Maybe you yourself didn't do anything. Maybe something you installed (and you granted SU access to) did it. Too many variables.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uN3xp3ct3d:
It's kinda weird, because only Titanium backup, AdFree and nitrality had SU access. And now even formatting data isn't helping, so I'll just have to flash it again. Damn.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Hmm... actually, I guess you could try re-rooting. Have you tried that yet? Maybe the su binary itself got corrupted.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uN3xp3ct3d:
Well, I already flashed stock ICS again so now there's no point. However, next time I mess it up (and I probably will), I'll try that. By the way, do you have any idea how to change screen DPI without actually messing up my phone again? I tried nitrality, LCD Density modder, manually editing build.prop...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I don't, sorry man. I don't change my DPI.

Google Docs has been transformed to Google Drive, which is essentially Google's answer to Dropbox and other cloud storage companies. There is an official desktop client :), which behaves just like Dropbox. It comes with 5gb of storage; I hadn't looked at any other account options yet, but for my purposes, 5 gigs will suffice. For those of you that have the Google Docs application installed, you'll see it's been updated to reflect the new changes.

Comments? Thoughts? Experiences?

Its just a copy of DropBox without any feature.

They do need to implement the way that google + upload pictures....

I already have 50GB from Box and 5GB from DropBox... too late for it. Of course i have it but i just dont need it right now.

I've been paying $20 a year for storage from Google for couple years. It was an offsite backup for my photos before Google+. Glad I kept paying after + released cause now I have 85GB Drive storage!! :D:eek::cool:

For some reason, I don't like the "sync" feature :(

I just want to access/edit/save files online only, I don't like the "sync".

I have 3GB of folders/files on Google Drive (used to be 1GB on Google Docs), I don't want to keep syncing 3GB of data to any PC every single time. Yes, I can set to not sync "folder" but not files.

I'm still a Dropbox fan. I've got this, and Microsoft SkyDrive, but I don't really use them. Just going to wait for the dust to settle and see who makes the most compelling product.

I've been paying for the upgraded SugarSync account and I love it. I'm willing to give this a try, especially since its slightly cheaper and a tad larger for the ugpraded gDrive account.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wildkarrde21:
Box.net will probably serve your purposes pretty nicely. There's no desktop client to sync (unless you're a business customer), so you can just upload to their servers and leave them off your local computer.

There is a file size limit, however. I believe it's only 100MB or something like that.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Spastic909:
so i ran the fastboot oem lock so i could flash the tmous leak. It worked but says

***relocked***

*** security warning***

now everytime i try to boot anything like recovery, or just reboot phone it keeps bringing me to the hboot screen.

when I choose reboot bootloader option in fast boot it reboots and says ***relocked*** and no security warning like before.

so i dont think its bricked, i just dont know where to go from here

edit: could be a brick. adb wont recognize and I cant get into recovery

thanks in advance
[HTC Amaze 4G] Spastic909:
anyone here know what I can do? i really need to get this fixed asap

thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Make sure you are giving the fastboot command from the proper directory in command prompt (most likely need to type "cd (to change directory) C:\Android\platform-tools" is prolly where it is, but might be just the \Android directory depending on how you set it up.

Find where OEM_lock is on your pc

i ran fastboot from correct area. I have it in an android directory and the platform_tools. does it make a diff which one I use?

and how to check oem token on pc?

thanks

the thing is I cant get adb to recognize my device when running adb devices. when I reboot bootloader it catches the device for about 1second then its like its not being read anymore(if that makes any sense)

i get this when trying to unlock bootloader

fastboot oem unlock(from platformtools directory)

but if someone can fix this issue i am more than happy to be learned lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] NoWey:
I was on the same situation as you. All I do and works was:

*Some steps maybe unnecessary but i do it.

1. Pull Battery out

2. Remove Sim card

3. Redownload the PH85IMG.zip (The original "football" post in FileFactory not the mirrors)

4. Put in Sd Card 2 (microSD)

5.Press Volume- and Power

6. Update (Wait for Process)

7. Press Power for Reboot

** Maybe we got a corrupted file, try redownloading the original file.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabriolinari:
hi guys

couple of questions:

i have a XEUK firmware on 2.3.4 at the moment, unbranded, unlocked and rooted and phone notified me that there's an upgrade available:

- will the upgrade work via wireless from the about menu straight away or i need to go via kies?

- apps, contacts, photos and videos are gonna be deleted?

- root, will that stay or i will have to do it again?

- camera, is the white balance improved when using flash with ICS? right now colors act up with the flash, thats a known bug..

that being said, my phone runs great so i am wondering if is worth or not to upgrade, i dont care of having the very very latest release...

for who will answer these few questions, thanks in advance!

Gabrio
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uN3xp3ct3d:
1. I believe you do need Kies, I wasn't able to update my phone without it.

2. No, however I strongly recommend you to backup the phone, just in case.

3. You will have to root again.

4. Not sure about this one, sorry.

Honestly, I was extremely disappointed after update because, although everything worked just fine, the phone became a little laggy and I wasn't able to change screen DPI (I bricked my phone twice as well).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabriolinari:
interesting, thanks uN3xp3ct3d
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
No you didnt, unless you fixed it via JTAG.

Screwing up while flashing resulting in rom not booting isnt "bricking" unless you cant enter download mode or recovery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Thank you. I wish people would stop throwing around the term "brick" so loosely.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uN3xp3ct3d:
Okay, I got a bootloop twice. The point is, it hasn't been very stable for me lately.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
That too... Stable means the thing runs without any issues and Ics do run without issues, you fiddled with it than say thing is not stable is also wrong.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Omg. Why don't u all kill him while your at it.

yay "bricked" is a wrong description and ics runs without issues.

a correction to "semibricked" would have been enough and ics isn't that great yet. Bit sluggish and very poor battery, even on cm9-aokp-aosp and cn,but the Devs is working hard to solve these "issues".

running stock, but iv started clean means i wipe completly and did not restore anything

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------

bootloop = not bricked

formated system partition = not bricked

kernel issues with boot loops = not bricked

so on
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabriolinari:
Thanks for answers everyone... At this point im not sure i will upgrade now.. I was really curious if they fixed the camer with flash white balance problem...

Anyone on ics up for a test? Just take a pic indoors with flash possibly in the evening or a bit of dark area..not pitch black of course, do colors look strange?.. As of now white balance looks really funny. With a quick photoshop fix looks good.. Agreed is just a phone but doesnt seem as so hard to fix..

Thanks

Gabrio
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
that will never be fixed untill they fix camera firmware.......

so if you use flash be as close as possible, if you use flash in low light situation from little far it will comeout blue tint....

think this is what you were asking right!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabriolinari:
that's exactly the point....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Indeed.

Kill him?, stop over-reacting child. Simply correcting his misconception. Also yours.

There is no such thing as "semibricked", Its either bricked or it isnt, simple as that. Screwing up your flash which results in rom not booting as normal is not "bricked" or "semibricked". Its only bricked when it wont boot into rom, download or recovery and only option is hardware recovery like for example when you wipe/corrupt your bootloader.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabriolinari:
i forgot to ask one thing... how is the battery with ICS? at the moment my phone does 1 full day with heavy usage and 2 days with moderate/medium usage...

I removed all the Facebook crap from my phone when I first got it, but now I'm putting it up on eBay and I'd like to put it back on for the sale.

I backed it up then uninstalled it using Titanium Backup, so I just went into TB and tried to restore Facebook for HTC Sense but it isn't working. It just says it's restoring and sits there forever, nothing actually happens. Installing from unknown sources is turned on in my settings and I've tried rebooting.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
[HTC ChaCha] msknext:
I had the same problem, in fact titanium was unable to restore any of the system apps. I had a nandroid backup and i used nandroid browser (available on market) and extracted the right apk's and put them in their respective folder and rebooted. Eureka! Everything was just like before. It Works! Try it out if you can.
[HTC ChaCha] dftba:
Yeah TB seems to hate all my system apps :p

I think I'll just load a ROM onto it or something, might sell for a little more like that anyway :cool:
[HTC ChaCha] llenp:
Have you tried the "restore missing apps + data" option?

And I think because it was a system app and you uninstalled it, the only fix I could think of is put the apk in the /system/app folder & change permissions (if you have a backup of the actual apk files taken from the /system/app folder). Or I would just go ahead with a clean flash of the stock rom. Atleast it would technically be factory set and ready to sell.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
yes, im still waiting for custom icon size. im a very visual person i guess and it bugs me having a cluttered dock, or a dock that needs 7 buttons or so to look padded out nicely. i love stock look, trying to be close to it - but in tabUI of course. kevin from nova already wrote me that he'll see to it, and when it comes out i'll trash the hack of course. think of it as a stub. but in no way i wanna stop you from updating, just go ahead if you like. its your rom, make yourself at home. :)
