[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ermacwins:
So my s2 was on gingerbread rom and I decided to flash 4.1.2 via odin. Phone booted up and asks for sim unlock code. I learnt then that it locked the phone. I used Galaxy_S unlock https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5oZWxyb3ouZ2FsYXh5c3VubG9jayJd

but it didn't work so I restored the efs. Then I tried this Galaxsim http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1846451 and it says unlocked so rebooted phone but when making or receiving phone calls, it disconnects. The paid version from play I havent tried but Im guessing will be the same?

Imei still shows so Im not sure what I have done wrong.

I have efs backup from both of those apps and also a efs.autobackup in the root of internal storage date in January. Not sure how that got there as this phone had GB over a year.

Please help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Do you get any signal at all?

The paid version won't help as this could be a modem issue.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ermacwins:
Yes there is signal, data connection works. I then tried reflashing GB, restored GB backup, flashed ICS and same problem

Never pass the Samsung logo or restart and event shown charging icon but you are not charge it

Is your answer is no. 2

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] rishi1989:
Did you wipe dalvik cache, do factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] THE-E:
DOES or DOES NOT ?

If possible, than try(AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!) to flash CWM(ClockWorkMod) via ODIN and than (do a backup before that!!!) do a full wipe. After that is done, enter Download mode and flash again.

THE-E
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] krulelina:
how???

i already flash with odin...it not working, same as recovery mode not working too, coz i already flash cwm but nothing happen it came out with samsung logo & battery...

yeah i know the only way is by that both step...but this is weird...i cant do anything with that steps guys...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] THE-E:
As already suspected, this is probably a defect of mainboard. You will have to send it to Samsung Service Point. This could still be a warranty case, but from here on only Samsung can help you.

greets

THE-E
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] rishi1989:
Can you enter into cwm recovery mode. If you can then I don't think there s way. Coz it'll show you tat you've rooted ur phone. If you can't then go to service center and pretend to them that you haven't even heard the word root in your whole life. Tel them that you just tried to update thru kies nd it got bricked. No other way my friend.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] rishi1989:
Note- your phone shd be within warranty period. Then it'll be replaced. I haven't done tis. But, heard from guys who did it.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] krulelina:
thanks all...

yeah i guess i'll go scs...that the only ways...thanks a lot xda & xda friends.:)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Just for Rio.....please

Is there some other reason, as answer was No.1

Just for clarity, does krulelina need to return his Wonder to SCS??

If not, what is the solution?

Thanks a million!!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] willypt:
What I see is that she's not having problem with bricking phone, so.. no need imo..

She just need to reflash... I believe she got wrong package when flashing? Like broken package.

Try checking http://www.samfirmware.com/

get a stock rom of your country / other, and reflash it with correct settings... :)

That should do it
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] krulelina:
I8150olbkl1...

i download the firmware from samfirmware, its impossible its if the firmware broken or something, and i already do a correct steps, and i know how to flash guys :D, just dont understand why this still could happend, maybe mainboard problem or the battery?:cool: :confused:

but im planning to sent it scs tommorow! thanks a lot
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] willypt:
Aahh... maybe it is your device's destiny... :D

Hopefully your device recovers fast soon..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Rio Saputro:
Hi Irish..

Sorry for late response

I'm not going to get everybody afraid but want to make them AWARE

Basically i wanna explain more about the "BRICKING"

There are soft brick and hard brick

SOFT BRICK

Soft brick cause by bad installation :

Corrupted file

Bad flashing way

Power off while flashing

HARD BRICK

Hard brick cause by:

Broken Hardware

Very-very wrong way of flashing

What really cause this ?

The characteristic are:

If your hardware damaged, your system will crash all over the time meanwhile you already re-flash but it cannot fixed

Your device have a boot loop and unable to go to recovery mode

Hah.. very wrong way flashing ?

How about Wonder ?

How to fix this hard brick ?

Until now i didn't get any way to fix it, because it linked to damaged "ADB Interference Driver" so you cannot use any command in your device

It this happen you should go to Samsung Service Center

How to Flash Correctly (Custom ROM)

I hope it help
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Download your ROM correctly make sure not get corrupted

Rio, is there any way to check it?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] THE-E:
Yes, if the uploader publises a MD5 checksum. Than you, as downloader, will be able to check the MD5 checksum of the downloaded file.

If not available I think all you can do to minimize the chance of not getting a corrupted file is by checking the size of the downloaded files and the one which is displayed at the filehoster. Other option would be to download the file twice and compare the MD5 checksum of the both files. if they are same everything is fine, if not ...

greets

THE-E
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
I learned Cryptography System before. I know the function of Md5 check sum. It is a "digest" of host file. BUT it can only check the integrity of the file. If the original file has already corrupted before making its md5, u won't know anyway.:)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] THE-E:
Yes, that's true. This will only make sure the upload and the download(transfer) of the file is correct. The ROM itself needs to be tested by the uploader or creator of the ROM.

I have this problem too, flashed but still boot looping... :crying:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
No matter what I do, I cannot get the LG Support Tool to recognize my phone being plugged into the PC. I'm trying to do the new baseband install.

Running Win7 x86, already have the necessary files installed, getting to the last portion of the update, where LG support has to boot up, and it keeps telling me to install the driver.

I've downloaded the driver from the LG site, I already have the Nvidia driver installed on this PC. I plug in my phone and i see the P999 in the Device section of Manage Computer, has an exclamation point next to it so I search for driver automatically, no luck.

I don't know what the issue is.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
dont do it automatically do it manually... and next time just post this in a thread already pertaining to this kind of stuff, less clutter the better.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
I've tried it manually, but no LG USB driver i've installed gives me a folder, it always is an EXE file.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Screw it, was reading that the phone needs a valid T-Mobile sim card. But my IMEI is blocked....sooooo this wont work for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
watch a video on how to install it, I believe it is as easy as putting the folders in a dedicated folder (i have mine in a folder named "android") and just directing the files to the apx folder... not any .exe extensions
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Yatyas:
Are you currently running an ICS rom? I had the same issue but I flashed a rooted stock rom then I was able to get the LG tool to work. Might try that. Good luck.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
The problem is that the USB driver is not recognized on my PC.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Yatyas:
I understood exactly what you meant. I had the same problem. The LG driver did not recognize my phone when I was running the Hellfire sandwich rom. The software did not detect that my phone was connected. I was beating my head on the desk trying to figure it out. Then I decided I would try restoring to a stock rom and try to pull the update. Restored to stock and no OTA update avail. So I went back to the LG software and it recognized it on stock. Still had CWM installed. All I had done was use the stock nand restore from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1048274 If you need the file let me know and I will host it for you for a faster download.

Do you keep apps on as card or does that cause issues

What app do you use for organizing apps or home launcher.I like apex but offers no folders while apps in drawer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
Check out "Apps Organizer" in the Market... great app for grouping apps in launchable folders/icons which can be placed on homescreens and/or docks. For launcher, check out "Go Launcher" which can also create launchable folders/icons.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] rogervn:
I use facebook photos for most of my contacts, but when some of them updates their contact picture, it won't update in the contacts until some time after (don't know how much time actually).

I found out that Facebook cache wouldn't also update (if I go into the app and select 'Friends', their pictures are still old).

Is there something I could do to force a photo update? I don't want to use syncmypix because it doesn't center the photo in the face like Facebook does.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] Joel Chan:
In syncmypix, you can crop the images.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] dynamite33:
Use Facebook contact sync:)
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] rogervn:
Last time I tried it cropped the center of the image, so a full-body picture would crop the torso of the person. Facebook autodetects the face and make a picture with it.

Just tried it. Didn't do anything. Probably it takes the Facebook app cache that shows the same old pictures.

EDIT: Now it DID work by adding another layer of syncronization with Facebook and auto-setting the picture as default. But this also suffers from a crop problem. While the facebook thumbnails is perfectly cropped around the face in a square picture, this one is not. So in the square pictures used in the default stock rom of O1 are a little wrong-cropped.

Probably because the pictures they use is the original picture, not the thumbnail. The perfect way for O1 would be to use the thumbnail.

It also adds a painfully high time of synchronization even if I tell it to sync only once a week. And whein it syncs again it takes an awfully high amount of time syncing again.

EDIT2: The best way to do this is still to clear Facebook cache and data, open facebook app, re-login and then select the Friends page. It takes a while to re-create the cache, but this seems still the best way to do that.

I just wanted to let everyone know of the new (my favourite) root explorer which is currently in Beta but sporting a lot of fancy features. Coming soon is a holo theme to match this already beautiful app.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsInBsLnNvbGlkLmV4cGxvcmVyIl0.

I'm not affiliated with it in any way, would just like to share my findings. For those who don't want to pay up for Root Explorer (even though that app is awesome, I just think this one looks better)

I still saw a lot of people asking about a fix for this issue on the AOKP thread. I would post this there, but I don't have the privileges as of yet. Anyways for those of you that want the physical lights on, pull down your notification bar and set the brightness on max. Press/toggle the auto brightness button on and off several times. Saw a few people say 20 times. On your last press make sure you toggle the auto brightness on, then very quickly press the power button to turn the screen off, and then quickly press the power button again to go to your lock screen. Afterwards your physical lights should be working normally again. You have to repeat this step over again if you reboot your phone, but atleast this is a temp fix for those of you that want the lights on. I did not come up with this as I found it through a search, but a lot of people are still asking for a fix so I figured I'd post it.

Thanks man I'll try it out . I've been looking for a fix for that and haven't seen one till now. I've posted a few questions in the general thread but I never seem to get an answer. Thanks for helping another noob ! I've been experimenting quite a bit with AOKP, CM9, and Codename and I was wondering why the stock task killer isn't included in neither of the 3. They are amazing especially AOKP but my battery doesn't last me through work and I'm assuming its because I have some apps running in the background. Anyone know why the devs didn't include it or know how I can install it ? Just to be clear I'm looking to install the stock task manager w/ program monitor not the task killers from the market that don't work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys !

no it wont increase your batt life "ten fold"

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
I think I will pass.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kevdliu:
i dont think wipes are needed in this case. the tweaks do increase battery life but of course not by 10th fold. without the tweaks by the end of the day i would have around 50% left and with the tweaks yesterday i had 76% left. Usage may vary but only slightly. (i dont use my phone almost at all during the day)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sunny_und:
Correct, it will not increase it "tenfold" but the OP in the original thread was making a point.

I installed the .zip (Thanks kevdliu!) last night before charging/going to bed.

So far I have 7h 0m 3s on my battery (will update with screen shot) and here are the breakdowns. Battery life is at 61% (battery % mod)

Display - 61% (set between 1/3 & 2/3 all day) 1h 10m 53s

Mediaserver - 9% 24m 8s

Pandora - 9% 3h 21m 41s keep awake; 25m 26s CPU total

WIFI - 9% 7h 0m 3s

Cell Standby - 7% 7h 0m 3s

Phone Idle - 5h 49m 9s

For me this seems like an increase in battery life so far, but I guess I'll find out at the end of the day.

I will update later at bedtime with better results/compare to before the .zip

There's a description in the dudes op in og inc dev section here of what everything does. If you decide there's no improvements of any sort you can delete the script it puts in etc/init.d and reboot to remove it.

It shouldn't, since the file is put in system/etc, and system files are included in nandroid backups.

Hey.

Im trying to add Root Explorer to a ROM, so whenever I install that ROM, Root Explorer is installed. But Im having problems.

I tried adding Rootexplorer.apk to system/app but when I install ROM and try to run it, it force close and says something about (com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer)

Then I tried to add rootexplorer.apk to data/app

Doesn't appear installed.

I really don't know how to do it and need help. I don't know if im doing something wrong...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Delta33:
i think when you ad any .apk too system/app you need to change the permission to rw-r--r-- and then reboot it should work!!:)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Tovagulet:
The problem is that im adding the .apk to a .zip file

So I can't set any permission until I install that .zip

Camera.apk and mms.apk added to system/app and they worked.

Rootexplorer.apk won't =/
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Delta33:
ive tried that some .apk's dont work like quickpic but i generally install root explorer not as a system app.But if its a zip then maybe some other problem !!:confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Tovagulet:
Im sure I have used ROMs that come with root explorer installed.

Not sure how they did it, but there must be a way.

I download ROM.zip and trying to add rootexplorer.apk

thats it
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Delta33:
i think when you make a ROM you need a software that can also set the permissions in the zip file i had seen it yesterday but i dont remember the name

i saw it in the development section in a ROM making guide see if you can find it all the best !!;):)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] codeknight11:
There's no need of any such software. Whenever a rom installs,all the required permissions are set automatically by the updater-script. And well, if you are planning to release the ROM on xda, Do *not* include root explorer in it. Root explorer is a paid app and adding warez to roms is not allowed on XDA.
