[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enzoweb:
That's the problem - I can't remember the kernel I had. I still think I can recover because I can get to download mode. Is there a way to find out the kernel from here, or any tools I can use by connecting the phone to the PC?

If not, is there a way to start from scratch? I would have thought that my phone is basically now in a 'bare metal' install state since it has no valid OS - so are there files I can use to get it up and running?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys2jax:
Use Stock Rom to recover your phone.

IN ODIN select phone check box and load your Stock ROM, I think the file extension MD5 (unzip/unrar your compressed downloaded file). Start the process.

I faced he same problem as I flashed a wrong ROM in my phone and recovered with Stock ROM.

After recover your phone again u have root your device before u try custom ROM
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enzoweb:
But which stock ROM?

The problem I have is that I don't know which stock ROM to use. Will anything do? Does it have to match the kernel? If so, which kernel?

I need someone to tell me

1. Flash this file

2. Now flash this file

3. Now root the phone

etc.

or whatever it is I need to do.

My phone is an Australian one supplied by Optus. So do I just find the latest Optus stock rom and flash that?

This thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

has lots of kernels and firmware - which do I need?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You can use whatever latest firmware you want from that thread. Or go to samfirmware.com...you can find optus branded firmwares there too. Just make sure you use firmwares for the i9100. NOT for the T989.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enzoweb:
THANK YOU!!!

I downloaded I9100XWLP8_I9100OPSLP4_OPS.zip from the samfirmware site as you suggested and flashed the phone, it's now working.

Thanks for the advice and help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zzim:
Has there been anything from Samsung that states that the US version will have the S4 chipset. It just does not make an sense that it would not have a chipset made by Samsung. I am guessing we are going get a solid answer on the 29th when they go on their world tour.

I remember their being two conflicting articles from an anonymous Samsung executive about the dual core chip set and LTE compatibly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulzboy:
As of right now, everything about dual core in US is just rumors. Some sound very reliable. As for me, I highly doubt that the exynos quad would be compatible with Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T LTE network as well as T-mobile HSPA+ 42Mbps. So yeah, chances are there won't be any quad core here
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saltmine:
I read a few articles claiming that only T-Mobile would get the quad-core Exynos, but this makes absolutely no sense. The GS3 is 21mbps max, while T-Mobile's "4G" is 42mbps. So, I really doubt that T-Mobile will get the Exynos version, unless they decide that 2 extra cores has more market value than 42mbps HSPA+.

So, it is likely that T-Mobile will get a version that is crippled with the Qcomm S4 chip. Because of the incompatibility of LTE+Exynos, it is also possible for Verizon, ATT, etc to get the dual core version as well. For example, the HTC One X had to be switched to S4 to work on AT&T's LTE network.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trailblazerz11:
Heard long shot rumour US maybe get exynos 5 with arm cortex a-15 2ghz dual core. I'd be OK with that if no exynos 4 quad in US. A-15 performance might be on par with quad A-9.

Though most likely if qualcomm S4 I'm going international.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saltmine:
Any Cortex-A15 would destroy the quad-core Exynos 4412. But the chance of an A15 being released for the US version is almost nonexistent.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agafed:
Maybe for an upgraded version? Like they did with the Skyrocket or T989...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodbath:
I'm just wondering if I'm doing something wrong because I can't seem to get firmware update 9.2.1.21 to download. I keep getting a message saying "Internet connection error or the server is busy. Please wait a moment and try again".

I just rooted my TF but have OTA Root Keeper enabled so that it appears unrooted. I am currently on firmware version 9.2.1.17. Also, I can connect to the internet, etc with no issues.

So is this a common issue with their site, or is there something not set up correctly on my side? Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HasanCaliskan:
Hi,

i hope it is a common issue on there site, because i have the same issue :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e154037:
What recovery is on your TF? stock recovery or cwm? If cwm, you can not do OTA.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Probably a server problem if more than one is experiencing the same thing.

Maybe wait a while and try again.

While the OTA will not update with CWM recovery, the file itself will still download to the TF.

but yes, for the OTA update to work properly you need stock recovery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidSheep:
I have the same issue

Hi OP,

I have the same issue, although, I am not rooted and I currently have 9.2.1.21 installed. I always click that darn update button hoping one day this nightmare will go away.

TY
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farsight73:
Do you know where the files stored after downloaded?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodbath:
Must have been a server issue. I let my TF sit several hours and it asked me to update afterwards. It is now rooted on 9.2.1.21!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jonathanp:
As per the title. The public ip I use for exchange (also pptp VPN and other bits) stops responding after a certain amount of uptime.

If I try to sync email it fails, HTTP and HTTPS in browser fails, VPN fails etc.

If I run a trace route it keeps repeating my internal IP every couple of hops.

I'm sure its an OS issue as it works on a reboot, other devices on the same network can access the public IP ok.

Turning wireless on and off doesn't fix it. Switching to USB 3G, bluetooth tether or USB ethernet doesn't fix it.

I'm thinking the exchange client is responsible , its almost like its making too many connections or not closing them properly.

Anyone have any ideas?
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
good morning fellow kiwi's

apparently the ics OTA has hit across the ditch...anyone here rec'd it yet????

i just switched to b/l to ics couple nights ago.....bummer:(

can feel a downgrade session coming on, thank god its the weekend!!!....

unless.... some kind soul can send me an update.zip?????....;););)
[Acer Iconia A500] kiwirj:
i was just wondering the same if anyone has any link to the futuredial file or could upload the update.zip for the Australia/ New Zealand update.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
i do have a premium 4shared account, i think i can allow someone to upload a file - which i'm happy to do - if someone could advise me how i actually go about doing that, filesharing aint something i know alot about:):)
[Acer Iconia A500] peejayw:
Info from the Acer Facebook page says we will get the update 17th May. As its so close, may pay to wait and get the real deal just in case the releases floating around are not the final for us :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] kiwirj:
actually Acer ANZ posted last night that it was now available to NZ and Aussie
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
oh really.....kewl!!!!!

ok i'm just gonna start the downgrade now then...

whats your system update saying at the mo'????
[Acer Iconia A500] bigmacpaddy:
No update on my A500 yet.
[Acer Iconia A500] timhl7:
Just got mine today :) I thought they would update in order of serial number or something rather than region
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
awesome.... wonder if they've fixed the issues from the first release....

yeh they roll out the ota according to the build version number
[Acer Iconia A500] peejayw:
Anyone else get it yet?
[Acer Iconia A500] RogerDaryl:
Nope not yet for me.

*twiddles thumbs aimlessly*
[Acer Iconia A500] bigmacpaddy:
Ok, just got the update notification now downloading 1% done
[Acer Iconia A500] nytrojen:
I just got the notification too.

I'm in Melbourne. it's on 2% only after about half an hour. My guess is that the servers are struggling
[Acer Iconia A500] The Shermanator:
Got my upgraded just now. Soo far so good. Just testing out the apps and features. Gmail app is crashing a bit. Keyboard lag is much better :)
[Acer Iconia A500] peejayw:
just woke up to find a download ready. Reasonably quick, guess not many people on at this hour :-) If it fixes keyboard lag and nothing else I will be happy.
[Acer Iconia A500] peejayw:
All installed and no issues so far.

Wifi good.

Bluetooth good.

No screen flicker issues.

App drawer is smooth scrolling in either orientation.

Keyboard lag seems to have gone.

All up, very pleased.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Wots the build no. Can any one tell me pls

I still looking 4 update.zip if anyone has captured it.

many thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] peejayw:
Mine is Acer_AV041_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1
[Acer Iconia A500] RogerDaryl:
Yup, it's downloading for me now as well.

Well I've been using my A500 with ICS all day now. Absolutely love it! Feels like a brand new tablet! Factory reset got rid of all the junk I had accumulated, and ICS just feels so much more polished and complete.

No issues at all apart from browser sync (but I'm using chrome beta now anyway so I don't really care)
[Acer Iconia A500] peejayw:
I had one issue with Gmail acting a bit weird so decided to do the factory reset which was pretty painless. All smooth as silk now.
[Acer Iconia A500] pinmemo:
noticed me in Thailand 14 hrs ago... now trying to DL it stuck on the update button
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
i'm impressed

well after 24 hr process of downgrading to 3.0.1 the OTA refused to d/l due to "insufficient internal storage WTF I say, I.m clean as a whistle. check in settings and I have 16kb (yeh kilobytes) available - TOTAL 126MB . hell, where the heck is the other 28 odd gig gone, after hours of searching without success tried hard reset button combo and voila its all back - have no idea wot happened or why???

anyway after OTA inn my way back to 3.2.1 - next step 4.0 - all dam good

as others have said it s fairly snappy, browser is the bomb, thank god, no Gmail, wifi issues.

bought bout 20 apps with me from honey, no issues there, boot up time is minimal

stock keyboard is big improvement....after forkin out heaps $$$$ over last year,,,,

Aint tried BT or GPS yet that may swing it but all in all I gotta say I think it was worth the drama,

gonna chill out with it for a while

happy camper:D:D
[Acer Iconia A500] turfadic:
No OTA yet...

I am near Montreal, Canada and no update yet on my A500... I was told they proceed in batches, but does anyone have an idea over how long of a time period they have shceduled these batches? I thought it would be done within a week, but we are well beyond that now...
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
u might wanna check Acer Canada's website for latest news ....Acer new Zealand had reported the OTA date would be 17 May....but on

the 4th they announced it was now available ....oh yeh 1 more thing.... the Acer enhancement app in the market.....that recd an update

first, when u receive that update u ca n be sure the OTA is just around the corner.
[Acer Iconia A500] pinmemo:
on ICS now

my previously mentioned device in Thailand now is on ICS

one issue tho is that when i tried to run youtube within the browser, it shows that flash hasn't loaded, there's no option to turn the flash on/off also, anyone?

However the new browser is the beast especially new Labs quick menu function, gets more screen estate.
[Acer Iconia A500] turfadic:
Thanks dibb_nz,

I have uninstalled and re-installed the Iconia Tab Update tool a few times already to make sure it was ok. I had that available to me for a bit now...

I will contact Acer again. Hopefully, they will come through.

Thanks again!
[Acer Iconia A500] kiwirj:
finally remembered I had plugged my tablet into another computer and got the CPU ID for both tablets and have just downloaded ICS for it

Interesting thing. talked to Acer support during the weekend and somehow got put through to North America. Told them that I had a couple of tablets and it would use up my bandwidth to update each tablet, would they be able to provide me with a link for the update so i can install it manually. The person I talked with was really nice and said they could, until they realised I was from NZ. not their fault. Told me to contact support for NZ and that they would provide a link. Got Acer Au, couldn't be more of a pain in the butt. Oh it is not possible to update the tablets manually, I've asked the senior people here and it isn't possible. Reply telling her how it is done then get told, acer do not monitor or maintain the files on futuredial so we can't give you the links to them. excuse me, acer upload the updates there for every tablet to download and you don't monitor or maintain them. Then told me it was against googles policy to allow it. Weird how very helpful Acer north America is compared to Acer AU/NZ
[Acer Iconia A500] zipitinazeeby:
update.zip anyone?

Hi Guys

I jumped the gun and used the NA update.zip posted on these forums and now that I've seen NZ / Aus build numbers it's confirmed my fear that my SKU has changed because of the update.zip

Don't get me wrong USA one works fine, but for peace of mind I'd like to change to the WW_GEN1 ICS. Can anyone capture the NZ / AUS update.zip and upload it somewhere for me?

Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Well, according to the build.prop they're exactly the same m8, flex, build date etc no diff??
[Acer Iconia A500] zipitinazeeby:
Oh okies

My one lists

image: Acer_AV041_A500_RV05RC01_PA_CUS1

Build: Acer_AV041_A500_1.033.00_PA_CUS1

Can anyone with official NZ OTA post their numbers?

What I'm worried about is warranty situations where they will look at those and say "nope sorry you're not supported"
[Acer Iconia A500] kiwirj:
I'm running Mine is Acer_AV041_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1

I was running the US version as well. then took myself back to 3.1 and did all the updates
[Acer Iconia A500] zipitinazeeby:
Hey Kiwirj

How easy or painful was rolling back? Can you detail the process?

Also did the rollback wipe all data?

Thanks in advance
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
oh ok u have the 2nd release

the nz one i ota'ed is exactly the same as the first release check it out here its the first one that civato posted - except of course the settings which on mine is in english

but everything else is the same

soory kiwi this is for the OP, dam ph hideous type on
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
heres the build.prop from my tab

rolling back used timmydeansv2 which is gen 1, in his v3 and v4 its gen 2, u can follow jazzyjames post for how to rollback from the ics leak

the time before i was on the hc bootloader and ics leak and restored a nandroid
[Acer Iconia A500] zipitinazeeby:
Ok back on 3.2.1 now we wait for ICS

Thanks for all the help
[Acer Iconia A500] zipitinazeeby:
Hey guys

Anyone seen the ICS OTA update downunder yet? 17th has come and gone and no luck from my side yet
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Where's yr side zip? Think most here in nz have recd it??

Not heard any complaints?? =-O
[Acer Iconia A500] zipitinazeeby:
Hey Dibb

I only have the USA ZIP. Anyone manage to capture the NZ / Aus one for me?
[Acer Iconia A500] zipitinazeeby:
Ok success! Not via OTA though. turns out the future dial was picking up a non standard bootloader. Turns out I somehow ended up with CWM. So found the OTA here http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1113878.html and did the upgrade using CWM instead.

Now got Icy liciousness :) and I'm on a stock build
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
OMG I just did a rollback and reflash. Hard reset it and lost root.doh!!

reinstalled superuser and updated the binary even tho It said it was uptodate....

its like a whole new tab!!! haha I'm stoked...about to check out that old build prop I posted and compare them....weird as they are the exact stock build ??? But this is a whole new wow!!

glad u got sorted in the end :):)
[Acer Iconia A500] zipitinazeeby:
Thanks Dibb. Wasn't bad at all. Just used the stock recovery method. Pain was trying to get the update.zip. Funny thing is I called Acer to tell them my tablet wasn't getting ICS OTA and they said I must send it in!

Really though they should strip the features out of Touchwiz 4.0 and include them in the roms. Either that or debloat Touchwiz 4.0 and make it look stock.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mkeller96:
okay can anyone please help me with a Sprint Galaxy Nexus Battery Percentage Mod. Im rooted and on stock rom. i have downloaded some but every time i flash them the nav and notification bar disappear i just want the stock battery indicator with a 1% increment mod on it can someone please tell me how this is done im becoming very frustrated:mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Here's a guide explaining how to make 1% battery mods. You can then use your own SystemUI.apk and not screw stuff up. You'll need apktool to decompile SystemUI.apk. You can get one that works for ICS here. Extract it, double click on command prompt, put your framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk in the directory and perform the following commands:

-apktool if framework-res.apk

-apktool d SystemUI.apk

follow directions from do-it-yourself link above

-apktool b SystemUI SystemUIbattmod.apk

That will create SystemUIbattmod.apk. Rename it to SystemUI.apk and place in /system/app either using adb while in recovery or putting your SystemUI.apk into one of the other flashable .zips you have been using. Good luck and post if you have any problems (this is all assuming you're using a PC with windows on it).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mkeller96:
i am able to extract the system ui the way you said but when i click the link to the guide and try to download the Auto_Apktool 2.0.0 the link is invalid and i cant find it anywhere could you please give me a link to where i can get it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
You don't need auto apktool. The apktool I linked in my previous post is all you need. They'll both do the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rosies:
Whoa...you just made my day. Been at it for 2 weeks to mod battery icons and it turned out I didn't have a correct version of the APK tool. The one in your post works like a charm. Thank you very much :)

Oh something not mentioned in the posts above, if you have trouble decompiling remove the classes.dex from apk. After edit/recompile put it back (thank you he_stheone64)

How easy does the silver paint chip/wear off? I was thinking about going white over black, but didn't know if the white will start looking worn faster.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j1mmyc:
I just got my white e4gt 2 weeks ago so I can't really comment on how the paint will hold up but it seems like it will be just fine. I do know I like the look a whole lot better then my black one and the smooth back feels nicer too so I would definitely recommend it
