[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chef_Tony:
nope, xwkf3 is NEVER the model number, it is the 3rd firmware of june 2011 and therefor terribly old and outdated.

to clarify, xw is your region, general europe, k is the year of the rom (k=11th letter of the alphabet, year 2011), f is the month of the rom (f=6th letter, june) and 3 is a running number for the roms of that month.

also, in android os information, Model Number says GT-I9100, the rom number you refer to can only show up in baseband version and/or build number.

you must flash a rom from this sub forum, not just any model or make of phone, but flashing another kf3 rom would give you the same one, you already have. obviously you would want something newer, like LP7 or LPD or at least LA4.

but given the current state of this device, i would recommend you just connect the phone to the pc, start kies and let it take care of the rom flashing process for you and upgrade you to the latest rom for your region, because at this point i would not recommend you to start flashing on your own, you are still lacking the basics. no offense, but you have a lot of reading to do before you get started on that or you will brick your device!

a good place to start reading is this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

after you read the entire first 4 posts in that thread, you can start flashing roms, preferably one you downloaded in said thread, if you have further questions, just continue reading or ask in that thread or here again.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheShortybro:
Hi there!

The RAM hack for the G1 is very popular, and EVERYONE tells fastboot is the best way to flash this. BUT, in this version it is S-On and no fastboot options. Is there a way to get S-Off on this thing? So why is everyone liking fastboot and loving it? So now nobody can use fastboot, only with DangerSPL. Of course I know that it is the standard MT3G HBOOT and SPL, but asking again, is there a way to enable fastboot on this badboy? Thanks in advance!

(I still support Recovery as my PERMANENT flashing tool!)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwwilson721:
From what I understand:

Fastboot can only flash if it is a S-Off Hboot.

Our options seem to be to flash a temp Hboot with S-Off, flash with Fastboot, then back to the S-On Hboot. Flash something twice to flash something once. Hmm.

Or, Flash thru recovery.

Personally, I see the "Use Fastboot" method, but I also think it's dang silly to change the engine in your car so you can repaint the body, but the body color doesn't match the engine, so you replace the engine with the original. I'd rather just repaint the car in one step.

Use recovery if you want to. Use Fastboot if you want to. It's YOUR PHONE. What are 'they' going to do? Turn Apple on you, and stop you from using your phone?

What's next? We're not allowed to install and use Linux instead of Windows or OSX?

I say, do whatever method you want. If it works, why not?

Saying "only use this method" is just plain silly. It's about choice. While it may be "preferred" it is NOT the only way.

If you CAN'T flash using Fastboot, flash using recovery. If you look at many of those threads, they also want you to use superwipe. That can only flash thru recovery. And Fastboot can't wipe as well as that.

So, use whatever method works for you.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheShortybro:
That's what I am saying: I have made a guide for doing this with recovery and everyone is saying why do you do that and saying just do it with fastboot. I have told them a million times that it is the choice of the user and not me and they are pushing people to do it with fastboot like it is the only option. I think that's enough, lots of people did this with recovery and no one has had a single complaint so far. What was the point of recovery anyway? To flash ROMs if you dont want to set up your computer, plug in your phone and THEN flash stuff. It's actually totally not making sense at all! I am thinkng tp put a poll to decide what is the best to do.

To put it LOUD and CLEAR: FASTBOOT IS NOT YOUR ONLY OPTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you support this, post a reply and just type in 'fastboot' or 'recovery' for what you use the most. Thanks in advance (again)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwwilson721:
I use them both.

Whatever works. If I happen to have my phone plugged in to a USB port, I'll try to use Fastboot. If I don't, I'll just flash thru recovery. Sometimes, I HAVE to use Recovery.

Whatever works.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
I think the point isn't fully clear.

Fastboot is nice but not the only method

When flashing something to your phone that may cause you to brick it, radio or hboot namely you should use fastboot as it has the proper checks to lessen the chance of a brick.

If you are just flashing roms and so forth recovery and fastboot it won't matter as a brick is so unlikely.

After you flash the .13d hboot you loose out on most fastboot commands due to the base of the spl. Chances are you won't be flashing a new radio or hboot with the .13d hboot so not having things like fastboot flash doesn't matter so much and the extra 14mb of ram is a fair tradeoff for this.

Yes you can flash the 2708+ update with fastboot and and with recovery, and unless you aren't good at following directions chances are you won't brick your phone. But it is much harder to brick it with fastboot.

As for roms I only use recovery to flash because my hboot won't allow fastboot flash
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheShortybro:
Yeah, you are right, AGAIN. My HBOOT is not compatible for fastboot and for others too.

I think fastboot is only good if you want to change Radio/SPL, for other stuff you just can use recovery. I just wanted to say that Fastboot is not so super awesome as other people think, and it's not the only way to go. You can't make any mistakes if you don't follow it. Plain and simple. It all comes to that, don't it?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Probably you should read a bit about the different kinds of SPLs around and their possibilities. Even the 0013d has fastboot capabilities, you can for example flash an .nbh with it, but that's not the main point.

The main reason why you shouldn't use recovery to flash radio/spl is *how* flashing is done by recovery: Flashing happens when re-booting your phone and a flag is set which says "reboot into recovery". This flag prevents the phone from accepting any other keys pressed, i.e. you are no longer able to press the home-button to go to recovery or the back-button to go to fastboot. If you are in this mode and for some reason (incompatible radio / spl / bad flash / ...) your recovery kernel cannot be startet you have a bricked phone. Using fastboot this cannot happen, because of that it's much more secure. That's the reason why everybody is telling not to flash radio/spl using recovery.

Now it's on you to choose.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheShortybro:
Yeah, but if you check everything and not be so dumb to flash it without knowing what it takes, you won't have any problems. Only for people who are new to this should flash with fastboot. But people who know what they are doing can flash with recovery and both options are still open.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DorianX:
If you want to flash those things through recovery do it! But you shouldn't recommend to people to do that, maybe you can be the cause of a brick

[General Topics] Citizen_Snips:
So I currently have a Motorola Droid X2... :( I use cyanogenmod 7.2rc1 beta2 as a custom ROM. Besides that for stable ROMs it's really only eclipse 2.2, liberty, molten or stock 2.3.5 rooted. cm9/miui4 are both in alpha stages of development and have no working camera/data usage yet and mms is shotty as well as other glitches & bugs. having the locked bootloader and all. Plus we don't get official ICS :mad::banghead::thumbdown:

I had a few questions... First off, my 2 year contract with Verizon Wireless USA is over in December however I am eligible for an upgrade in August. I think I remember reading somewhere after all these VZW/MOTO shenanigans you can get a free 3g upgrade, if eligible, but need to renew contract for a 4g device. I'm obviously very confused by these changes and need clarification.. Basically what I'm asking is, would I be able to cop a new phone in August without having to re-up my contract? Use the upgrade for the remaining months and then sell it along with my X2? Not sure how that works and honestly I don't want to call Verizon about it until I'm due for my upgrade.

Moving on to my next problem. I am going to need a new carrier/phone. I figure since sprint still has unlimited data and their service in my area isn't that bad compared to Verizon, I'll probably sign with them. As far as actual devices are concerned, I will only buy a phone with an unlocked bootloader. Since Motorola failed to live up to their promise of unlocking their bootloaders by the end of 2011, and their overall customer support, I am not interested in purchasing any Moto phones.

Which brings me back to Sprint, lol. I know several people who have been on Sprint for a long time and tell me they're okay as long as you don't break your phone. I've heard countless horror stories of friends/family having to jump through countless hoops just to get their defective phone replaced. I've already left AT&T and will never go back to them so my options are pretty limited. I can deal with less than perfect customer support from time to time as long as I have reliable service and a reliable phone I can hack. :p

I've been looking at the Dinc2, since my friend has one. I know that's unlocked already. I've heard a lot of fuss over its pentile screen, but that honestly doesn't bother me much. So that can be taken into consideration as well.

I appreciate any opinions you can personally offer as to an awesome, unlocked phone, decent carriers as well as new phone releases you are looking forward to. I'd love to hear what unlocked devices you guys have as well as your favorite custom ROMs for them.

Thanks!:)

Cyanogenmod all day
[General Topics] nathansnyder:
Well, if you upgrade your phone, you're more than likely going to have to re-up your contract for an additional 2 years. As of right now, for Verizon, I would probably look at the HTC Rezound, or Incredible 4G. If you go to Sprint, I would look at the Evo 4G LTE (HTC One for Sprint), or the Evo Design 4G, but by December, you'll also have the Galaxy S3 to consider. I'm biased towards HTC phones personally, but those are the options I would look at.
[General Topics] Citizen_Snips:
I forgot to mention I'm on a family plan with unlimited data...
[General Topics] darksurfr:
I can't really suggest a phone but I read that you mentioned people having problems with Sprint with getting phones replaced after they get broke.

My sister is good at messing phones up and with the $8 a month insurance you basically can hardball any phone at a wall and they will replace it for $100. I think the one thing is you just never say that you did anything wrong and most sprint stores don't care. They have gotten much better. Whatever you do don't break your phone without insurance because they wont touch the phone in fear you might swear they broke it. Get the phone insured from day one if you are accident prone. That is about all the advice I can give. They have good phones and have good service (not verizon service but still good.)
[General Topics] Citizen_Snips:
Yeah, I treat these phones like royalty. Basically it's just a computer in the palm of my hand... Accidents do happen though and I always protect all devices with insurance.

I was in Sprint once with a friend of mine. Keep in mind he wasn't a smartphone owner, but this wasn't too long ago. He had a flip phone and he wanted it replaced. It was his 4th device experiencing the same hardware problems. When we got in there Sprint did pretty much everything in their power to make sure he did not leave with a brand new replacement. They went as far as to literally take the phone apart - right in front of us - and replace internal hardware. They'd put it back together and he'd show them it still wasn't working and they would try replacing something else.

Two and a half hours later of playing with the display evo and listening to "No I don't want you to fix it I want a new phone" and "Here, maybe this will fix it, let's give it a try..." we were finally out of there. They did not give a replacement that day. Just "fixed" it. Until we got back to his house. The very next day I was there when he called customer support. They gave him the business over the phone and were 0 help. We went back to the sprint store and finally got his replacement. I think the only reason they even actually helped him with a new device is because he was mad enough to break every display case and cell phone in the place - and they knew it. It wasn't like a "here let me help you get this resolved so you can enjoy your phone and service!!" Kinda deal it was more like "get him a new phone from the back so he doesn't make a scene and gets the hell out of my store" thing .... As we were leaving, the female rep not only told us we were lucky we even got a replacement in the first place- she did it in a snobby, attitude riddled tone of voice.

For reference this is when I was thinking of terminating vzw early and jumping to sprint. My friend told me sprint is full of people who either don't give two damns or are just plain stupid. He took me along to give me an idea of what I was in for. Needless to say I didn't switch.....

Jayydude glad you got you a dinc 2. I ended up sending the guy that gave you his blackberry for free the batteries and charger I had offered to you for your x2 when you had problems. Him and his son was happy. You should love this phone over the x2. I am running the M5.01 ext4 and really like it. Also flashed the 3.0 patch to get the sick lockscreen. Some sick widgets and awesome battery life.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] juzz86:
Just to clarify, last season's HTC devices get an ICS update in the form of Android 4.0.3/Sense 3.6. This applies to the Sensation (all models), Vivid, Amaze, Incredible 2/S and even the Desire S/HD, along with a couple of others.

You won't see Sense 4.0 on any of these 'older' devices officially. It was the One series' drawcard, and it won't be officially ported backwards. That's what XDA is for ;)

That said, I'm really impressed with performance increases on the Sensation, Vivid and Amaze from the ICS update. Usability of Sense 3.6, especially the Launcher, is greatly improved. You should get a good little boost out of the official ICS when it arrives.

:)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
fwiw, it looks like msm7x30 devices (ds/dhd/inc s/inc2/is4g, etc) will get 4.0.4/sense 3.6 as thats what the desire s leak was

and typically the updates are all very similar to each other
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] juzz86:
Well I learned something today Justin, thanks mate! ;)

Why do you think the older devices are getting the 0.0.1 difference? RAM?

EDIT: MSM8x55?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
most likely they started working on the older devices later, and by then 4.0.4 was in aosp id guess

given that htc updates on the same os version so frequently, id imagine the evo 3d/sensation/rezound will move up as well

some of the msm7x30 devices on gb at points had 2.3.3, 2.3.4, 2.3.5, and 2.3.6 (dont think any of that chipset ever saw 2.3.7)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jayydude_SGP:
I just got it and hr ago, sadly they just sent the extended battery ( free ) today so I can't use it until tomorrow. But that's true no Sense 4.0 just 3.6 :/ But hey any add on to ICS is amazing to me. I love sense :D But I'm going to flash sense 3.6 + ics rom, beats audio + xloud patch, capacitive button fix, touch recovery, and etc. I wish I could get the on - screen htc version of the ics softkeys and disable the capacitive buttons + lights that would really be cool ^_^

relocked b/l (note when I do this it says relocked, but I get a failure from fastboot failed too many links) subsquent oem lock says b/l is already locked

I cannot RUU 1.73, 1.82 or 1.85.

Hi,

What knowledge is available in using the GSM radio transceiver in the mobile for direct connection to another mobile, bypassing the network? Is there any work done on reversing the modem ROM in any device? Specially the Samsung ones, which have lots of open code.

Thanks.
[Networking] Tomaxda:
The 'open code' on Samsung (or any) smartphone does not pertain to the GSM radio firmware. And your ability to get in and muck with the GSM radio/firmware is very limited - they really don't want you playing with that.

I don't believe that what you want to do is possible - GSM just isn't made for that - but if it is then your best approach would be to get a GSM software radio. Try searching on "Universal Software Radio Peripheral".
