Its def possible, and was just throwing it out as a possibility. Without actually holding your phone its not really feasible to expect an exact diagnosis. therefore people throw possibilities out for you to check out since you are the one with it in hand.

But whatever, since you feel the need to be a **** I could less give a damn about any further assistance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nabilbek:
loooool
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nabilbek:
solved

if anyone encounters this, i got it fixed

seems the only way is to get back to in-box state (stock and format all ur storage)

then root, flash whatever u want :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
This happened with all three of the SII's that are in the family and its unlikely that they are all defective seeing as how they are all running on the same ROM. Doesn't bother us much though, we know were the keys are located
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nabilbek:
i know but i like the beauty of it :(

flashed a custom rom and am back to the same problem :(

if stock is doing good why are all roms having this problem ?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] jackmanzan:
I need a little help here gents,

Basically I want to update my phone as I am stuck on 2.5.5 and want to be able to download ota updates and eventually ics. Here's the catch, I'm unfortunately on the infamous NonEFIGSRetail system version.

From my understanding I have to flash a different retail system version to allow updates and the like to come through.

My questions are...

1.

Which system version should I flash to?

2.

How would I go about doing this? (before my razr I owned a dhd and they seemed a hell of a lot simpler to muck around with)

3.

Lastly if I were to flash a new system version, how would I create a backup of my NonEFIGSRetail version just in case things went tits up?

Cheers

Jack

3. If you're rooted, you can make an back up of your current Rom with CWM. But there's no need for.

Just charge your Battery till 100% before you flash with RSD.

Edit to 1: Here you got an actually Fastboot (2.3.6 / Baseband 91)

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umt...USASPDRRTGB_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot.xml.zip

After you flashed this, you'll get an 15mb Update via MotoCast Software. So you'll be sure, that things're working right now :thumbup:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stranyer:
I just got a Galaxy S2 (gift from a friend) but without headphones.

So i try 3 headphones i've in home.

1.- from Sony (really cheap)

2.- from Shark the most cheap i guess haha

3.- Another Sony (i use in the PC)

Sorry, but i don't have the model of each headphone :/

The thing is that any of them are working at ALL, so my question is the GS2 needs a compatible headphone? or maybe my jack 3.5 output is damaged?

btw, i'm curretly using a BT Headset and they're working really great!

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ubbabubba:
Galaxy s2 uses universal jack 3.5mm, you can use all types of headphones,

i use psp headphones (very cheap) and Beyerdinamic (expensive with high quality)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stranyer:
Thanks for answer.

I just call Samsung for assistance and a guy (I really doubt about his knowledge lol) told me GS2 can't use any other headphone that Samsung's headphone.

Grrr.. this is driving me crazy.. i went to the place i bought the phone and they told me i need to use a original samsung headphone to listen to music and that the jack plug was fine.. (but didn't have any to sell in that moment)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
The stuff you were told above that I bolded is BS. I use cheap Sony headphones in my phone all the time.

Admittedly, sound is MUCH MUCH better with my OEM Samsung headphones that came with the phone, but other headphones work fine.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Itzik68:
After Trying (and failing epiclly) to MOD JKay's SystemUI.apk file and combine it with this theme here, the theme maker Crussader referred me to this tutorial here for further guidance.

Problem is, JKay's SystemUI.apk file and the one from Crussader's theme are very different from each other and the drawable-hdpi folder is busting with PNG images and I can't tell what file is what and what I should put where, I get totally scrambled and lost in this vast ocean of images and I have no idea what I'm doing...

If someone could make a 'JKay-Crussader SystemUI.apk reference guide' it would be great!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] stevehkim:
unzip both systemui.apk's with 7-zip or winrar. copy and paste whatever images you want to transfer, (make sure the png names are the same). Zip it back up and replace in /system /app. What problems are you having?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Spannaa:
If you're going to change the theme colour too (e.g. the clock colour) you'll need to decompile the SystemUI.apk file and change the theme colour in \res\values\colors.xml

change status_bar_theme_color from #ff8ecd00 to the colour you want (I used #ff009dcd)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Itzik68:
That's exactly what I tried and failed on doing.

In his mode, JKay changed the names that link the PNG files to their use, so if in a un-MODed and clean SAMSUNG's stock SystemUI.apk the file XXX.png is let's say.. the background of the status bar, in JKay's MOD the name that you will need to name the new file you want to put instead will now be: YYY.png...

Not only I don't know what file I need to swap on a stock SystemUI.apk, in JKay's MOD the name was altered, so.. where do I go from here???

Please no big words like compile and de-compile and stuff like that...

All I know is zip / unzip.. please, lets stick with that...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Spannaa:
I didn't either but, if you're editing on Windows, set explorer's file view to 'extra large icons' so you can see the images and give it a go!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gadget069:
Why not wait for jkay to do it. I'm sure he's going to have this as a theme option.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Itzik68:
I did, but still too much files, there's a lot of images that are very much a like and I couldn't figure out what was what and got lost...

JKay's themes are based on the overall layout of the TouchWiz UI while Crussader's theme is based on Vertumus's work which is based on a port of the AOSP layout into the TouchWiz UI framework, therefor it is much more extensive and in my taste a lot better.

Not to mean any disrespect towards JKay's work, I think it's great and I'm very grateful for his MOD! I can't imagine not having it, it would be like rendering my device cripple...

But still, in terms of design, I like Vertumus's & Crussader's approache better, I like the AOSP overall layout, and having it on a Stock TouchWiz based ROM together with JKay's MOD sounds pretty great to me...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] bajee11:
What are you trying to do exactly? What Rom are you running and what do you want to theme..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Itzik68:
ROM:

Kernel:

MODs:

I'm trying to theme JKey's MOD and combine it with this theme here made by Crussader.

Problem is, I have no idea what the hell I'm doing...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Crussader:
Love a challenge :D

It's on... let me check Jkay's files first... keep in mind that maybe we should ask permission to release something in case this works :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Itzik68:
I love you man!!!

Of course I will ask for his permission, but I believe he'll agree as long as we credit him he said so on his MOD's thread:

His words...

Anyway thanks a lot of it!!!

P.s

Will it be possible to make it compatible to .odex system?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Crussader:
Ummm if we only can change xml and pngs... some things we're not going to be able to theme ( small icons for example ) but let's make something first ans then we might ask for permission to change it.

P.S.: First things first, next will go onto .odex
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Itzik68:
OK, so what do I do?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Idan73:
If you are only changing regular png files then zip and unzip is in order. If you want to work with xml's due to encription then compile and decompile is exactly what should be used, as a word and a method.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Itzik68:
OK.. but I have no intention of working with xml files...

No scripts, no anything to do with coding, just the images.

My knowledge in programming sums in about a 'Hello World' button on VB...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Spannaa:
You could just change the images but if you want the clock, battery text and notification text themed, you'll have to edit one xml file.

If you don't, they'll still be green.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Crussader:
Care to please tell us which file? Styles.xml?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Spannaa:
No problem.

In XWLPF odexed, I changed the theme colour in SystemUI.apk\res\values\colors.xml
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Crussader:
I was worried that was the file... I'm thinking that there is so little we can change after the framework is placed... let's see what can we do.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Crussader:
Ok... there is progress...

Small notification icons

ICS Style status icons

Battery percentage

missing some stuff though...

However, both AdFree and AdAway work through the hosts file, so they filter only ads from specialised third-party ad sites, they don't remove banners if they are from the appmaker's own server.

Solution

Hey there!

I had the same problem (just wanted to retrieve my Contacts) and managed to get them. In the following I will explain how. This method probably works with backups from other mobiles made with Sony PC Companion too.

I got the same problem (also only fullbackupdata), after rooting my mobile and not thinking of the problem, that it might not be able to restore the contacts.

Here's what I found out: I couldn't find anything with Google, so I decided to just look at the data of the file. It starts with:

ANDROID BACKUP

1

1

none

I did some Googeling again and found out, that it is the same file like an ICs created adb backup.

I also found a project to retrieve Data from backups: ht tp s: //github.c om/nelenkov/android-backup-extractor

HOW YOU CAN RESTORE YOUR DATA:

Get your Fullbackupdata-Contactfile.

1. First go to your backupfile: (C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\Sony\Sony PC Companion\SomeNameDependsOnLanguage\

2. Make a Copy of your backup-File (crtl+c, crtl+v)

3. We want to change the file extension, so make sure you see it. If you don't see a .dbk at the end of your file, go in the explorer window in the left upper corner on organise -> Folder and search options. Change to view and then deselect "Hide extensions for known File types"

ht tp://kb.winzip.com/kb_upload/image/folder_options2.png

4. Rename (F2) the file to backup.zip

5. Open the zip with 7zip or something similar.

6. Navigate to Applications\com.sonyericsson.android.contactsimport and get the fullbackupdata file which is lying in this folder.

7. Put this file on your Desktop.

8.Download this jar-File: ht tp: //ge.t t/64TJmne/v/0?c

9. Put the .jarFile also on your desktop.

10. Doubleclick the .jar-File. After a few seconds a new file with the name "restore.tar" should show up (If not check if your fullbackupdata-File really has the name "fullbackupdata" and is on the desktop)

11. Open the .tarfile with 7Zip

12. Navigate to restore.tar\apps\com.sonyericsson.android.contactsimport\f\

13. Copy full_backup_vcard.vcf to the Desktop.

If everything worked you're finished, you can open this .vcf File via Windows-contacts -> import or put it directly on your phone and import it there (open Contacts. Settingsbutton -> impot)

If you don't trust my .jar file, you can also download the github-project follow their orders and compile it yourself.

I hope this helped also other people. It took me quite a while, so I thought I should share my solution.

Hm seems like you have an other phone configuration than me...

I tested it with Sony Xperia Go with android Version 4.0.4.

Try googeling in which directory your Contacts are stored, than open with my jar file this file and you should be good to go.

If you don't find anything, you can also write your model and I try to find a solution... best you email me, I'm not sure when I will get o this forum (send (at) johannesdeml.com)

[MENTION=5244670]stricler[/MENTION]:

Do you have Java istalled? Are both files in the same directory (my .jar-File and your fullbackupdata file (which also has this name))?
