Thanks also to you B3311.

I've checked with my fried who has the same phone and in fact all the voice recordings are stored in sdcard/audio. I've also found the directory of Note Everything inside sdcard. So, if this files will be kept, most of data that I care will be safe.

I have again some last few question, I give them a number so the post looks more clear.

1) As for Google sync, I have it enabled. On my computer I can see my calendar and my contacts, is there any other thing that Google sync backups?

2) So, apparently the only thing that I can now do is to do a "factory reset".

It is OK to go put the phone in Recovery Mode (Volume Up + Home + Power buttons ) and than select "factory reset"? Is the "factory reset" the same option that "wipe user data", or it is different?

As you can se It is the very first time I do a factory reset (and also that I enter in recovery mode), and I am a little bit worried that something goes wrong.

3) If all the data that is on /sdcard will be kept, so what kind of data I will lose? I suppose Contacts (1) , SMS (2), Calendar data (3), Apps (4) and Phone options (5) will be deleted, but is there any other type data that will be deleted?

Thank you everybody for your patience and your support dealing with this problem!!

please last question

Last question: in this tutorial (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1108499) concerning how to deal with a boot loop (which is not my case) it is said to make a "wipe user data" and than to flash a stock ROM.

Do you think that, in my case, make a factory reset would directly fix the problem, or I also have to flash?

Than you very much!

Very Short Video Explaining Everything!

Hello,

I've found out that when I choose reboot from the recovery mode, I get this error:

E: copy_kernel_file :: Can't open /data/log/recovery_kernel_log.txt

To explain you the problem I have with the phone, I made this very short video:

[YOUTUBE]4OsHAtG7l5U[/YOUTUBE]

Having this error, is it safe to select wipe data/factory reset?

I summarize: I have some very important data on the phone, in particular some voice recording and some data took with the app Note Everything that I would really like to save.

What can you suggest me to do?

Thank you very much again.

hey pal since u said ur phone is not rooted and u have stock GB rom in ur phone why cant u back up via KIES software from ur PC and see also u can backup ur internal and external sdcard 2 ur pc and then try doing factory reset of ur phone:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftpftp:
Hi Sun90 and thanks. Unfortunately KIES keeps telling me "connecting" but does't connect:(.

You can find all the info in my first post, please see "Some additional information" here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25577449&postcount=1

What can you suggest me to do to save data?

Having the kernel error, if I factory reset is it possible to have even a more serious problem?

Thanks.

I'm on t mobile UK and cm9 in my opinion works the best. With the orange baseband
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
You may have mistaken this site for Samsung Support. It isn't.

Folks on here help out of a sense of community, they don't get paid for it.

The person you just told to feck off is very knowledgeable and answers a heck of a lot of questions nearly every day.

I am on the same T-Mobile UK network as you and have downloaded from here the very ROM you are looking for, although that has been updated since them. I could easily do the same search on here and point you the link, but would you know what to do with the file? Or have you already fully read the Odin flashing instructions on here?

My first time here was with the HTC Compact III, I read for at least a week all the stickies at the top of each section. When I was sure I wanted to flash a rom, I read and re-read the thread and was as well prepared as I could be.

I am deeply indebted to all those developers and the more knowledgeable on here, who turn my phone into something very special. The least I can do is search before I ask, because nearly every question has already been asked.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomCom2011:

If you get me download link i will know what to do with it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
Here is a big clue:

Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 > Galaxy S II Original Android Development[ROMS] > Official i9100 carrier branded firmware download for Odin Flash
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomCom2011:
is it "I9100XWKE7/I9100XEUKD1/I9100XXKE4/I9100XWKE7"

i read on this forum that is the best one

I ask this one couse i dont know what is diferent between

BOKE3 Stock Kernel and BOKG2 Stock Kernel

i was looking for "I9100XWKE7/I9100XEUKD1/I9100XXKE4/I9100XWKE7"

you dont have to make me feel stupid
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
The BOKE3 was the origonal firmware for the T-Mobile UK SGSII.

BOKF3, BOKG2 and BOKK1 are revised firmwares.

The stock kernels are there if you have rooted your phone with a CF-Root kernel and then reflash with the stock kernel to get rid of the warning triangle at bootup.

The one you are looking for is not a T-Mobile UK ROM, but rather a Samsung Stock ROM for Europe. Flashing that would invalidate the phone's warranty (if you had to take it back to service). That said, that ROM is really old. For newer versions of Samsung stock ROM then look * HERE *
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomCom2011:
you are good

I see you are good. Can i ask you what do you think? which soft is the best ?

i think i start from wrong way. i just want my phone work and no freez. i download some soft just now but will download another one after you advice me

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Awesome_Aleks:
Does anyone know if the Xperia S is compatible with MirrorLink (Sony seems to be leading the charge with players for the car but only Nokia's appear to be certified despite prototype Sony Ericsson's at CES showing use of it)

Maybe in the ICS update?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TWiTCommander:
MirrorLink requires specific hardware along the headphone jack, much like MHL requires specific hardware along the µUSB jack. That's why you can't just plug an MHL adapter into the µUSB port of any random device and expect HDMI out.

If the Xperia S does not support MirrorLink (if it did, it would be on the spec sheet I hope), I sure hope they do a mid-cycle refresh (like they did with the Arc to Arc S) and upgrade the SoC while adding MirrorLink capability as well.

CORRECTION

I was under the impression that MirrorLink was exclusively through the headphone jack like Nokia and Toyota had been demo'ing. Apparently, MirrorLink can also be done over µUSB, as Sony was demo'ing during CES 2012. I'm guessing it involves using MHL + USB return channel to emulate touchscreen. See here. While the Nokia device is connected by headphone jack, the Sony and Samsung devices are connected by µUSB. So, there is hope for a software update (as long as your device supports MHL or some other form of video-out I guess)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
This is a strange problem that I only started to have once I installed Team Nekkid 7.2 RC dated 3/29.

I can flash the ROM no problem, wipe dalvik and fix permissions and I'm good to go without any issues. But if I flash the ROM, then either morfic or faux kernel, then gapps, when I go to wipe dalvik, all I get is a quick screen flash with no option to actually wipe dalvik.

I go back and wipe the overall cache completely, fix permissions, the reboot. I am now stuck at the morfic boot animation until i pull battery.

If i try to install a Faux kernel, same thing happens with dalvik, but gets stuck at the blue LG screen.

Once i battery pull and get back to CWM, i wipe everything, reflash ROM and gapps, wipe dalvik and fix permissions no problem and boot up into whatever ROM i choose.

EDIT: Went back and flashed Bionix 1.4.1 and was able to flash a Faux kernel and wipe dalvik. Booting up this ROM now.

I also have NO problem with ICS ROMS/kernels.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mariuscm:
When you say NO PROBLEMS with ICS ROMs, does that include Google Maps and the stock browser working perfectly??

Which ICS ROMs have you tried? How is battery life?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Flash kernel last, and redownload the kernels!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
I did all of that. I flashed the kernel before and after gapps but end up with the same result.

I have a feeling there is an issue with the CWM since I am constantly flashing roms/kernels and have never had these problems before. I'm at work so I cant use the Nvidia tool to flash CWM so I have to wait until I get home.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
I meant I have no problem flashing ICS roms and kernels.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mariuscm:
I usually just follow the instructions precisely by the OP. (Wiping/formatting, flashing rom, gapps, restart + let 10 min stand if required by OP) I have not installed another kernel that what the ROM has included. Should I try that? If yes, which one? I currently have EGB AOSP ICS 4.0.4

[UPDATE] Ok I got it now. Just read your last message
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Short answer: yes, install a different ROM

Long answer: go to the developing section of the G2X forums and find out the info with the countless threads.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mariuscm:
I've tried 3 different ICS roms and read hundreds of posts and found nothing that would fix the maps and browser issues. I guess I have to wait a bit more for the devs to work on them. Maybe the lack of drivers is the problem.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Look for Owain's Unnoficial Build 55 thread, and use Firefox browser, that is the most complete ICS ROM and Firefox doesnt have the rotation problem.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mariuscm:
I was just downloading that ROM :)

Thanks!

My main concern is Google Maps not working properly. I rely on it in my job a lot and can't have it blanking out on me like that.

I've tried the replacement solution for the stock browser - I installed Dolphin HD. I'll try Firefox, though. Haven't used that on a phone since I had the Nokia N900 - Ah, the good times when I still believed in Nokia :)

Thanks for your help!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
If the maps shows up and then goes blank, simply close the map and re-open it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mariuscm:
I know the close/reopen "trick," but I thought there might be a ROM that just has the Gmaps working. If there's none I'll just wait. Is Owain's unofficial 55 based on 4.0.4 ? I'm also going through his thread now in hopes of finding it. I'll probably just flash and see then.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
All the important information will be in the first post of his thread. he doesn't include a change log, though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Yes, it's 4.0.4 with all of the latest CM9 commits.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] tmmv1:
Hi

I have been looking through the roms for the viewpad 7 and have to say there a little daunting with so many different issues within the roms. My main questions is which rom/s are most stable and is there any roms that will improve the distance for wifi connection.

I loose my wifi connection at roughly about 10 feet from my router.

My viewpad 7 info is

swver: 3.16r

model:fm6-0001

hwver:106

version 2.2

baseband version pr3.7_128

kernel version apps_2.6.32.9

build number 4027_3_16r

Any advice would be appreciated

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The K-Zoo Kid:
Is there one that exists? And if not any emulators?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] irishtexmex:
+1 to this. The only two (legitimate) emulators I know of are N64oid and Mupen64Plus AE. The latter is a very respected desktop emulator that's currently being worked on, and the former is a Yongzhoid production so yeah...

N64oid I know doesn't have any native gamepad support, which is a total shame. I can't find Mupen64 in the Market, and it looks like it might be a few more weeks before it gets put back up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The K-Zoo Kid:
I actually have Mupen64 from when it was in the market, and from what I can tell there is no controller support. I guess I'm out of luck for now :( I would love to play some goldeneye with my controller instead of the ****ty onscreen controls. Thanks for the reply though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AgentCherryColla:
PS3 controller is the only way. I have a Rapid Fire from Gamestop, and it has a Xbox 360 layout. But it's a PS3 bluetooth. So it works, just need 6Axis Tool via Play.

Edit: Then you need to have the IMEI mimic keypresses. Then map each key to a button. Then set it up. It takes like 15 minutes, but it's worth it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] irishtexmex:
I actually ended up creating an N64oid touch profile in Sixaxis so I could have analog support.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Guide or it didn't freaking happen! Lol, anyway, seriously, throw out a quick step-by-step? I'll admit I haven't tried recently, but I always get a headache when I decide I'm going to get the right analog stick to work right :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Should work with USB/BT joystick Center. Its an app that lets you connect the Xbox controller (via USB). Then you can either map the buttons to keyboard input or to touch input on the screen. Works very well with analog controls an everything, i played through ModernCombat 3 this way :)

So it should work perfectly with any n64 emu that has overlay analog controls.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The K-Zoo Kid:
Thanks a lot, I'm going to check it out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
n64oid has gamepad support. I know if my old usbPC dual shock controller works fine on it, Xbox 360 controller should do fine. my controller works perfectly playing Golden eye, Perfect dark, Mario64, Castlevania64. and others on my prime. you just have to go into its settings and map the controller/buttons.

oh n I didn't need any 3rd. party apps to get it working. worked instantly once I went into N64oid settings and mapped the controls. Same with my NeoGeo emulator on Prime called Neodroid. I also have FPse, Snesdroid, Genesoid, and a Turbografix 16/PC engine emulator. my controller works perfectly with them all. controller especially good when playing the many neogeo fighting games I have like Art of Fighting 3, Samurai Showdown 5, Saturday Night Slammasters, Fatal Fury3 and more. All the Metal slugs work great also. I have like Metal Slug 3-5 and Metal Slug X. I had a Sega Saturn emulator but its like an alpha build and was never really completed. Games played way too slow up there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] irishtexmex:
My understanding is that it has digital gamepad support? Meaning that all the buttons work except for the analog sticks. Did you find out a way to get the analog sticks working, with full analog support, just in the N64oid app itself?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
my analog sticks work fine. with no extra app needed. on all emulators. ive only needed to map one analog stick. i map that one for movement. then when you click it in, i mapped that pause. other stick i click in and have mapped to select. some games like golden eye or perfect dark, clicking in the second analog stick is to fire my weapon.

its easy to map the analog stick though. just go into settings and hardware map controls. then for the movement like up , down, left, right, just map those to the matching direction on analog stick. very simple.

analog stick for movement works great on Fpse when im playing Marvel vs. Capcom or Einhander. also Strider and Final Doom. Einhander is like the best shooter ever. i wish android developer would make something of that quality caliber. it looks n plays great on prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] irishtexmex:
Ah, gotcha. While that method works, what is happening is that pressing up on the analog stick equals "Up", pressing left equals "Left" and so on and so on. This is just replicating digital input on the analog sticks.

Analog support/input means that when you just barely press left or right on the analog stick then your car (in a racing game, for example) just barely moves left or right. And when you push it all the way to the left or right you turn much more dramatically. This is also very evident in character movement for first person shooters (difference between walking slowly forward and running) and a game like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.

That is, unless I just completely missed something on the various emulators I use and I just typed a long post that makes me look like an idiot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I didn't think the emulators got that detailed on movement..lmao. I see what you saying though. I guess its not that serious for me. as long as I can live in direction I want, I'm good. I have tony hawk pro skater3 on prime and it moves just fine. same with my first person games. nothing seems excessive in movement. I just barely move it if i want to move slow or something.
