[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coltie:
Go to google and type Galaxy S2 stock roms. You will find a thread in xda or androidforums both are fine.You download them, in the both threads you will find detail instructions on how to flash it.

When you download a rom make sure it is the latest version [ for gb 3.7 I think ] and it should have a stock kernel.

If you want to stick to the stock kernel but you want to be rooted you flash CF root for your rom.

But flashing a custom rom makes absolutely no-sense whatsoever.

If you cant find a stable rom you can try GadgetCheck's Revolution rom.

It is really stable with no bugs, and the DarkKnight kernel is their project which is considered as the best GB kernel by me.

Good luck.As the guy mentioned, you flash custom roms with Odin, you dont need to be rooted.

Or use CHECKFUS to download and flash via ODIN .

Kernel is part of the firmware and not a separate item .

You rarely flash a custom rom with ODIN .

The only wrong thing in this post, is that I have written a custom rom instead of stock.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

>>> Does not have to be the latest version +all firmware has a kernel.

That reply is both ignorant and stupid .

>>>and in the next sentence try Gadgets custom rom ???

[EVO 4G General] inflewence:
Been with them for 12years and had the same number. Trying to move to another carrier. It sucks because they only gave me till next week to port my number or I LOSE IT. Looks like I'm going to get a rinky dink phone until I can get a upgrade. Going to miss my Evo :mad: This number is on everything so I must do it. My business will suffer if I don't get this number.

I was up in arms but I am a firm believer in karma and I did tether and got caught so WTF am I going to do. In the letter it said you are "using it as a modem and tethering with out a tethering plan".

Just wanted to ask, can they really tell, or is it just data usage they are going by.
[EVO 4G General] alaman68:
do you mind me asking what ROM and what tethering app you were using?

Sorry man, that totally blows. How much data did you blow through? I remember people getting letters after going through a few hundred Gigs a month.
[EVO 4G General] phillip1953:
Been tethering my EVO's for a couple years. First my EVO 4g with my laptop, now my "retired" 4g with my EVO 3d. I watch netflix and surf the web on my 4g. No problems yet. So...just how much data have you been using?
[EVO 4G General] inflewence:
I'm using Derp 3d and I'm using wireless tether for root. In March I used 109gb and in April I used like 102gb. I use Hulu plus and I think thats the's reason. I've been doing it for 2 years with netflix, my pc and video games but just got hulu 3 months ago, and now this. SMH.
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
Most users don't use that much on a cable/dsl connection, let alone wireless.

I'd agree with sprint, that is excessive.

Just get the cheapest prepaid setup you can find until you figure out where you're going to move to.
[EVO 4G General] shortydoggg:
Yea, that sucks. You were terminated more for the excessive data use than for tethering. Everyone who I know of who had their contracts cancelled for tethering were also using large amounts of data. They likely would have got you even if you were paying for it, as were many of them. They just used the tethering excuse to try and make an example.
[EVO 4G General] alaman68:
"can they tell?" interesting question... Did you use HTC DEV to root your phone and can Sprint track downloaded apps (wireless tether) from the market? They could probably track those and put 2 and 2 together.

your data usage is very high and noticeable.
[EVO 4G General] tgruendler:
That is why you got cancelled. Is that all 4g data? Because if it is 3G, even at 1MB, it would take you 12 days of constant downloading to get to 109GB of data.
[EVO 4G General] inflewence:
I used unrevoked when it was first available, and I didn't download it off the market. I agree it was excessive. Probably why I'm not too upset more concerned with my number I guess.

Yep all 4g

That's what I'm planning to do thanks. Just found out I can port my number to prepaid then to another carrier. Someone just gave me a net10 phone. :D:( Funny compared to my Evo but got to do what I got to do for now. I was just about to get the 4g lte too, but was waiting for it to be rooted LMAO!!

[EVO 4G General] gotmypanicshoes:
why not use boost and flash evo to b able to use on there?
[EVO 4G General] X_N_:
As said above that is really excessive so most likely it's not more of a They found out but more of a Using Way to much data and so they cut off your data.. Now as how they found out.. Most likely they assumed that its basically impossible to use that much data on a Phone no matter how hard you try.. But most likely it's labeled "illegal tethering" For the fact that if you have unlimited data then they have no real reason to cancel your contract other than for illegal tethering if you don't have tethering on your contract.
[EVO 4G General] Cool Cake:
Meeeee Toooooo!
[EVO 4G General] vwgtiturbo:
Wow, I hope you didn't come here looking for sympathy. That's ab-so-****ingly-lutely excessive. And we wonder why we can't have nice things! lol
[EVO 4G General] indagroove:
If I can figure out from your few posts here that your real name is EDITED TO PROTECT PRIVACY and you're from EDITED AGAIN TO PROTECT PRIVACY, I don't see why sprint couldn't figure out that you're tethering. Thing is, I tether too, but I keep my usage below 5 Gigs a month, so no red flags are never raised, hence no investigations.

MOD EDIT: PLEASE DO NOT REVEAL PERSONAL INFO, amd even less if it not yours
[EVO 4G General] inflewence:
Didn't know I could do that, thanks!

Not looking for a shoulder to cry on just was wondering.

And what does any of that **** have to do with if they can see me tethering or not. Ain't like I'm posting **** on Facebook....hey I'm tethering on my evo illegally. Like dude said above I think it's just the data issue but they can't say that, because I have unlimited data.
[EVO 4G General] ReapersDeath:
Damn!!! They probably think your hosting a porn website!
[EVO 4G General] shortydoggg:
Unlimited Data is not "Unlimited Everything"

According to your Sprint terms and conditions, you have unlimited email, pictures, internet surfing and messaging, as well as NON-CONTINUOUS streaming of videos, downloading, and online gaming.
[EVO 4G General] inflewence:
LMAO I know.

To Tell the truth it's illegal and I did it, not much I can say or am going to say. My girlfriend is a lawyer and asked if I wanted to go that route. No because I feel stupid trying to fight something I did although I get free legal service it seems like a waste of time.

Am I pissed I got no more free internet....hell yeah LOL what do you think. I'm not rich but not hurting for money either, so in hind sight it seems not worth it lol. I guess with Hulu wither I paid for the hotspot service or not it wouldn't have made much of a difference. Tommorrow I'm getting 4g unlimited internet from clear which is probably what I should have done in the first place.
[EVO 4G General] RuckusDecay:
Lmao everytime man.
[EVO 4G General] stupidjerkheadface:
Have you thought about using Google voice?
[EVO 4G General] Dreammerchant:
Damn that's all whole lot of data... makes me feel I should tether a lot more lol
[EVO 4G General] ItsLasher:
They can't tell if you are tethered or not because all they see is data being used. Data is data regardless of how it's used BUT when you use 100gb+ a month a blind man with a bad sense of touch could tell you're tethered so thats how you got nailed.

I generally use around 5gb give or take a month and on higher months around 10gb and have no problems with them. The higher months aren't consistent so they don't pay me any attention.

Also this is the last day of my cycle and I'm sitting at 11gb of data used.
[EVO 4G General] Mephistonian:

Do you not understand a thing about networking?

I'm sorry for the hostility but this is annoying to read.

How do you think said pictures, emails, messages, and internet web pages magically appear on your phone? The exact same way that streamed videos and online gaming works. DOWNLOADING AND UPLOADING!

I might add that smartphones are designed to handle intense downloading and uploading, hence the 4G..

I am not making excuses for the dude, But holy hell. Don't make a point that will not stand on it's own.:cool:
[EVO 4G General] shortydoggg:
Do you not understand anything about networking. OH MY GOD!

It's not my opinion or statement. It's what the terms and conditions say, almost word for word, under Prohibited Network Uses. I did not say one time what I think about networking.

[EVO 4G General] Sleestax:
How, exactly, does someone "non-continuous"ly stream a video? WTF?

I'm surprised I haven't received a nastygram from sprint for data usage. I don't tether, but I do use netflix a lot. Hours a day sometimes (via the HDMI out to my television at times). I watched a ton of basketball games during march madness. I watch HBO Go when commuting to/from work, I use pandora and tunein radio a lot during the day. Then there is all the "usual" stuff like photos, email, facebook, etc. I do most of this on 4G, but will switch to WIFI when it's available (at a coffee shop or whatever).

I get that Sprint is making a market play for the Iphone suckers who are content with 3G connections, but why can't they just put out an honest pricing model for us data hogs instead of this nonsense.
[EVO 4G General] alaman68:
this is also under terms and conditions. so to get tether without paying for it, you would be implicated in the below as well.

Damn I only use around 5 GB so I should be using more then :D
[EVO 4G General] QuietBillG:
I watch HBO Go when commuting to/from work : Wow, I hope you are not driving! :D

but why can't they just put out an honest pricing model for us data hogs : While I agree with this in principle the problem is that, even though it is a "wireless" connection, on the back end it is still wired and has a limited "pipe". If there are very many "data hogs" it will affect all of us.

[EVO 4G General] RedheadTarn:
Maybe fight it for fun?

I was just wondering if anybody who has been cancelled for "illegal Tethering" has tried to fight it. Since sprint has "Unlimited" data, and everybody seems to agree that excessive data use is what they are really "tracking", I wonder what would happen if somebody fought their cancellation and said "prove it".

Don't get me wrong, I understand that data use above 100G "probably" indicated tethering, but can they PROVE it? we use my wifes phone with hdmi output to stream netflix etc... and we use almost 60G/mo without tethering. Keep in mind we do watch a LOT of internet TV cause we don't have cable. But if Sprint came at us, I would say "Put up or shut up! PROVE that I am tethering, or I will sue YOU for breach of contract!"

With how litigation goes these days, I wonder if they would think it worth the time to fight it...
[EVO 4G General] inflewence:
How would I do that without phone service?
[EVO 4G General] lordkaladar:
You would basically be using your phone in WiFi only mode.

I still agree with the other poster. I'd flash the phone to another carrier.
[EVO 4G General] MattMatt0240:
Wow, I thought I was getting paranoid when I got over 5gb!!

I have to agree that you abused it, but sorry to hear of this. I wonder what limit sparks a red flag in their system.... but over 100 gigs in a month, over a 2 year period?! Hell, Congrats on getting that far. You'd think they would've said something about it prior LOL.

+ very clear voice talking, especially impressive in windy conditions (use mine in a convertable and often people don't hear whether I have the hood down or not)

+ good battery

+ comfortable fit (I can use it while wearing glasses without problems for hours)

+ reliable connection

+ nice extras like automatically answering call when you put it on your ear and app for android

- not the most stylish

In current reviews most of the time either this one or the Jawbone Era is the winner.

[HTC One S] Psyclism:
One of the major disappointments I had when I first got this phone was discovering that the OS doesn't come with a voice dialer. So I started trying the various voice dial apps on the market, and none worked well. After much searching, I found a ICS compatible version of the standard voice dial application. So I'm going to attach it here for those of you that want to have this functionality.

I installed it via the standard app installer, then I went into titanium backup and converted it into a system app. I'm sure there's a more direct method, but this worked for me.

Hope this works for everyone, but so far it's worked perfectly for me!
[HTC One S] slamming_sammy1:
you are a lifesaver. i was looking all over for this, as I'm running a custom rom and it didn't include this as well. and you know how the google one requires a data connection and I don't have a data plan.

so thanks a bunch!! and it works great.

btw, what does making it a system app do?

The voice dialer didn't work for me initially, but did start working after I converted it into a system app. That's @ll the explanation I can give you.

Hello everyone,

I’m a total rookie by the way and and have spent a decent amount of time reading on my own before posting anything here. I am wanting to flash cm9 on my sensation 4g. Based on some of the research I have done, before I can flash cm9 I first need to install stock ics in order to get the 3.32 firmware correct? I also thought I read somewhere that before I can update the firmware I first need to update the hboot version (currently my hboot is 1.17.1111) but now I can’t find where I read that.

As I’m reading some of the guides on how to flash these roms it seems like all of them are saying “make sure you have cwm recovery installed”. Well when I first rooted my phone I was watching some youtube videos and following the steps. For some reason the one I chose had me install teamwin recovery, so that is what I use instead of cwm recovery. Does that make any difference? Can I still update firmware and flash ics roms with twrp?
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Get supercid,root,s-off and cwm after thats done first download your desired rom and also the 3.32 firmware first boot into recovery flash the rom..

Then when its done just power off hold volume down + power (make sure fastboot is disabled ) and update firm ware reboot delete the pg58img from root of your sdcard and voila!

Sent From My Sexy Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] throcker:
well, you don't need to install the stock ics rom, but you need to flash the 3.32 firmware, that allows you to run ics roms...

I suggest you to install 4ext recovery, I don't know if you have to downgrade your hboot, mine was the right one and I don't know hot to do that, you'll find a guide or something like that on this forum...

if you have already rooted I think that you will not have any problem flashing a recovery or the fw...

and, my personal suggestion...if you want aosp experience flash aokp official rom, I tried both roms and aokp is more stock feeling :)

Awesome, thanks again I'm excited to try it when I have time.

You have 1.17.1111 Hboot which tells me you are S-offed via Revolutionary. This means you can flash the 3.32 firmware that is linked in the ARHD ROM thread and then flash any Android 4.0.3 ROM you want to flash.

The Team win Recovery works just as good a Clockwork Mod Recoveryto me, 4EXT Recovery is my preferred re overy. You can use Team Win Recovery to flash any of the things you mentioned.
