[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] red.hat:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 from vodafone. Here are the specs:

Android ver:4.0.3

Baseband:I9100BULP6

Kernel:3.0.15-I9100BULPC-CL332484 dpi@DELL154 #3

Build nr:IML74K.BULPC

CSC:I9100VODLP8

Now running on AT&T

I want to root this phone while maintaining the stock firmware or something better. Could some help me out I can't seem to find the right kernel to use. I appreciate it (p.s I did like to unroot at a later stage).

thanx
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Since you're on ICS, just use this. No kernel flashing required.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawrejin:
There's a pretty good guide right here:

Your kernel: 3.0.15-I9100BULPC

Look for the LPC zip file in that thread, that is the kernel you need, be sure to read the guide well.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] red.hat:
Thank you for the link. I tried it out and it worked out well for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tangtastic:
Hi,

I have the exact same phone as the OP:

PDA: i9100BULPC

Phone: i9100BULP6

CSC: i9100VODLP8

I've been trying to root my phone to install a custom ROM on my phone for the last few hours but I keep hitting hitches.

I've tried using the customer kernel posted by nawrejin on this thread, but when I boot up my wifi won't work (stuck on authenticating/obtaining IP); that aside I also have a problem with CWM ('cwm manager needs superuser access')?

If I flash the stock kernel for my build then the wifi problem resolves itself, but returns to being unrooted. I don't have a mini SD card so can't use the solution proposed by ctomgee (rooting without kernel flashing).

Can anyone propose a workaround or solution? I've been trying all night now with no success. And I am a newbie noob noob :p.

Thanks for any input,

Will

Buy an sd card for a couple bucks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] red.hat:
Try to get the sd card. I I hae found this method very effective. When done you could download neat rom lite by Sale and watch your phone fly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stoopendis:
Is there any advantage to buying an external SD card as far as flashing roms and such? I don't have a lot of music and photos stored so space is not a concern.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
I didn't think space would be an issue for me either. I started using and 8 gig card, then a 16, and now a 32. I don't use my phone for music or video either unless its streaming. The thing is, once you have a nandroid or 6 on it, some ROM add ons, a couple of apps (along with their storage requirements), and a few other things you will notice space filling quickly. I use my SD card for picture and video recording storge as well, but I don't take alot of pictures and video. Its nice to have the extra space incase I need to though. I am a fan of keeping whatever I can on external SD if possible instead of internal. And I also back up the important stuff onto my PC and a backup drive. I just got a PNY 32 gig class 10 at Bestbuy for $39 and the Accessories section lists Amazon deals at around $32 if you can find them. I think it is worth it. Its nice to know the extra strorage is there just in case even if you don't think you will ever need to use it. Plus, you can remove the SD card and make sure the data on it won't be erased or messed up by new flashes and stuff like that. Its also easily transferable.

[Transformer TF300T General] zeldarocks:
I'll cut to the chase: I've noticed that the keyboard dock will seemingly disconnect and reconnect every couple of seconds, this appears to only be an issue with the keyboard however, given that the charger seems to be working perfectly fine when plugged in through the primary slot. Now, I hastily unlocked the tablet right after I bought it, so my warranty is now non-existent. Is there anything I can do to rectify the situation? Or will it be a matter of returning it to Best Buy and hoping for the best? In addition, have any of you experienced such problems with the tablet/keyboard?
[Transformer TF300T General] UndisputedGuy:
Maybe you haven't connected them fully?
[Transformer TF300T General] Kamoteq23:
Just got home for my 3rd keyboard dock replacement. Here's my experiences:

1st dock - does not charge the tablet

2nd dock - keys in the top row does not work

3rd dock - except for volume up,down, and screenshot buttons all of top row keys do not work.

Back to best buy in the morning to try my luck again.
[Transformer TF300T General] UndisputedGuy:
The dock only charges the tablet when it is below a certain percentage.
[Transformer TF300T General] Kamoteq23:
Aware of that, does not charge it at all.
[Transformer TF300T General] TXKSSnapper:
Wouldn't the warranty still be good on the dock? So in theory you could take the dock back as defective and get a new one? And then just hope that the problem is the dock and not the tablet.
[Transformer TF300T General] odin23342:
Perhaps

;)Perhaps try a different best buy they could have had a bad batch. You could contact the company see if u can get a replacement via manufactures warranty . Also it may be a problem with your tablet and not the docks.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Insane1:
I recently upgraded from CM7.1 to CM9. I love everything about this, but for some reason the earpiece volume is overly loud. With the volume adjusted all the way down, I still have to hold it 6"+ away from my head while on a call.

Troubleshooting steps I've taken:

Full wipe of caches

Reinstall of ROM

Re-download & reinstall ROM

Scouring forums and using google-fu attempting to find someone who's had a similar issue, but no joy.

I did find a thread detailing an import of libaudio.so from a previous ROM, but the file structure wasn't identical and I didn't want to mess things up anymore than I already have. I've attempted messing around with DSP, but I'm not sure if the 3 settings available (speaker, BT, headset) even apply to the earpiece.

I included a screenshot of my current kernel version & software if that helps. Any assistance would be appreciated.

EDIT: Problem solved. I'm not sure the root issue, but after several back and forths I've found a workaround. Usually when I would initiate a call, volume would be on the lowest setting (albeit unnaturally loud). Adjusting the volume via the external buttons to its max, then back down lowered the earpiece volume to a tolerable level.

[Focus General] ikevcolt:
Hi, I did a master reset on my samsung focus without backing up any sort of personal content before.

Now I want to recover my deleted files.

Is there any chance/way that I can do this?

I already have my focus showing up as mass storage on windows explorer, and tried to use RECUVA to work on it, but it still says its not a mass storage.

Do you guys think if I take the sd card out and plug it in the laptop straight up it will work? :)

Or is there any easier/better way?

Thanks a lot in advance
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Sadly, no. The contend is 1) encrypted and 2) inaccessible, unless you're rooted. It's like trying to open an encrypted drive when you don't know with what it's been encrypted with.
[Focus General] ikevcolt:
Thanks for the answer, but I don't believe it.

Its gotta be possible somehow.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
I'm just trying to help. You have to understand 2 things:

1. You're assuming that the media (you're looking to recover) is on the microSD card. Wrong. No one knows where it goes, the OS decides. And that is because when you insert a microSD card and reset, it becomes part of the phone's memory, as one single module, if you prefer. So if you try to save something, the OS will decide where it goes (in which part of the memory). It should probably fill the internal memory first... but it's a guess.

2. The only way to access the content of a microSD card you need

- root access (developer unlock)

- this program installed (somehow)

As I said, the card is otherwise encrypted (and evidently it's content).

Having these 2 steps done doesn't guarantee you will see anything on the card. I don't know where the master file system table (or it's equivalent) is stored or anything about the file system, for that matter. I will leave this answer to the experts :)

I hope it's clearer now why it's VERY difficult. Not impossible. So if you find a way, do share it.

Good luck!
[Focus General] TJBoy:
I wonder, isn't that the whole purpose/effect of a master (hard) reset? :cool:

Suppose that you sell your phone to a stranger, would you like that person to be able to recover YOUR personal content?, I think not :(

Hello there,

I just bought xperia s yesterday :p

I used arc, but since yesterday I fell in love with xperia s. :D

Emm.. what I wanna ask is, is it worth to unlock my xperia s and root it?

Cause I know development on xperia s forum isnt so stable yet..

I'm scared I'm going to brick my Xperia S..

And then Im at Indonesia.

Which ftf shud I flash?

Generic world?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hello_hello:
I think you can flash central europe as you can remove more apps without root.

I am not sure if it has the asian language. I am currently using Singapore firmware which contains chinese and japanese keyboard.

In my opinion, if you are not planning to use custom ROM, you might as well wait till ICS released for rooting purpose. At that time, there should be a way to root without unlocking bootloader
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chitose_ndy:
I'm using German as my primary language :p

So I think the central europe will work..

Well.. actually I'm planning to use a costum ROM..

But its just a plan.. I haven't see all of the costume ROMs here..

But I think I'll wait till someone made root without unlocking bootloader possible.

Thanks for your answer :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] berkis:
what is bad about ulocked bootloader? I new with android and I rooted my xperia couple of days ago so I had to ulock the bootloead, that´s why I am asking :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
Nothing bad cause it is allowed from sony itself :)

They speak that you will loose the drm key or something like that but I don't know what is useful for.

Don't worry,For warranty reasons you can lock it again.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chitose_ndy:
nothing bad.. im just affraid cause development on xperia s isnt as stable as arc's development..

but ive unlocked bootloader and rooted.

im happy for that ;)

you can lock your bootloader again,

but u wont get the DRM key again..

as far as i know (if im not mistaken) DRM key is useful for warranty,

if u unlocked ur XS, then you void your warranty..

anyway, ive unlocked my phone and rooted..

so this thread can be locked ;)

thanks xda

and thanks for the answers :D

how to root

hi ive unlocked bootloader , what do i do to root it / im new to all this . how would i know if my xperia s unlockedntry bootloader and if it is what is the next step. can i update to ics when it comes out if i root it
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chitose_ndy:
Untill now,

root can only be achieved by flashing pre rooted.img via fastboot..

If u want to know wether ur phone is already unlocked or not, try unlocking ur phone via fastboot like what u did.

On the cmd will be written,

'"Phone already unlocked"

There is a notch right by the power button to get you going. Use your fingernail along the top and pull it out first. There are two little tabs that hold the bottom of the shiny lid into the rest of the back.

Im sorry if this was covered in any way. I searched and could not find a single thing. Sorry again if so.

Anyways... I am on 1.85 and have the 3 button mod for menu and remap home press as multitasking.

Its working great in general but in some apps its showing the wrong information for menu. One example is titanium backup. Normally when you press menu it brings up the option for batch runs etc. Instead its showing the main program options such as Help & Support, Market tools , and preferences etc.

Would take a long time to go thru every app manually lol :D

I can get a pic that would help too , just give me a bit.

Appreciate any help.

Hey,

I have an Infuse 4g that was running MIUI. I decided I wanted to try CM9 but i didnt really like it so I went back to restore MIUI. When I rebooted system after restoring backup, it got stuck on the samsung logo. I did a battery pull and tried to get back into recovery by pushing down both volume buttons and power then releasing power after the samsung logo appeared but it remained on the samsung logo. I repeated this several times with same result. I was running CWM v5.0.2.7 before all of this. What should I do now?

I decided to post this here instead of development for fear of getting yelled at :D

I have had an EVO 4G and an EVO 3D and both of them had custom kernels available that included a 2WCR mod (two way call recording).

This feature is invaluable to myself and many other people. I cannot count the times where I was given important information during a phone call like a phone screening for a job, and it was a good thing I had the ability to record the call.

I humbly ask the developers to try and include this in their custom ROMs/kernels when you decide to make them. It would be greatly appreciated by many.

Thank you for all of your hard work!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] freeza:

Firstly, Hi everyone and thank you for your time in helping me out.

I love my Xperia S and have set up gmail accounts on my handset. However, I like the look and feel of the Sony Email app more than the gmail app but I am getting duplicate email notifications.

I have been able to remove accounts from the Email app and have just gmail but I would prefer it the other way around.

When I try to remove accounts from the gmail app, it asks to remove the accounts completely, including sync with contacts etc.

I know I can just turn off notifications in the gmail app, but I would rather turn off mail sync from the gmail app so I am not wasting bandwidth/battery.

Any help would be apreciated
