try opening (not extract) the original zip file - if it opens then go ahead and use the update.zip inside as its already decrypted.

if it doesn't open you may have a bad download, so download the rom zip and the decrypter zip. try opening again - if you get the "not an archive error" then it needs decrypting first...open the file in decrypter in the "input file" and wait a couple of seconds until it says 'DONE' - if you're using win7 you may need to run as admin and disable that other stoopid user account control thing, lol Oh and disable your AV for 5 mins or so too!!!

One other thing, if you are using civato's stock roms then you won't need to decrypt - the decrypter is only needed for official OTA firmwares

where is the DECRYPTED ROM to extract ??? does it mean custom rom??

You are lucky to have it just soft brick.... mine is dead and can only go to APX mode and download bootloader to parititon 4 always give Bad Write error. If anyone can use the nvflash to do a rawdeviceread the partition 4 to a file, then I try to rawdevicewrite to it. Can anyone help?
[Acer Iconia A500] Tha T:
help

Please, Is this method specifically tailored for this ROMs or can i replace it with any one i wish, like stock ROMs or cynogen mod
[Acer Iconia A500] bonnnnnn:
same here!!!!...pls reply ASAP!!!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
If you are bricked you can try the babsector.rar file. You'll need yr cpuid but you can flash any Rom u want AFTER running it. See instructions and dl link in post 2 of the root guide in my sig.

With the method described in this thread, you use the "update.zip". It depends on what state of bricked-ness yr tab is in and you'll probably need to reflash the unlocked boot loader before trying to flash a custom Rom.

The babsector file fixes anything and flashes the bootloader and recovery in one go.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MiKenning:
It really makes me sad when I get a scratch on the screen of my lovely SGS2. I do have a few surface scratches which are totally natural when it comes to wear and tear but this time I got a single scratch that is VERY evident.

So I'm wondering, is there any way of getting rid of it (new screen (if so links), technique, etc) or do I just brush it off my shoulder and deal with it?

I have applied a screen protector to ensure no further scratching but yeah, any help will be appreciated and I will thank good and valuable advice.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeff!:
Sorry, I don't think you can get scratches out of your phone!

I have one on my screen and have tried by brushing it several times and it just does not work.

I'm wondering whether you can buy a new screen for the I9100..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
Im pretty sure you can get a scratch remover from ebay. I think it's a liquid that you just rub on the screen and it removes the scratch
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MiKenning:
I tried rubbing it to make sure it wasn't a piece of dust haha! I guess I should just be more careful next time :/!

I will search eBay for any screens as that may be a solution!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaeilge:
well, depends on the depth of scratch. some scratches on glass can be polished by jeweller but personally I don't think you'd find anybody who would do it good enough. surface would have to be perfectly even.

another way is applying protective shields - some of them lower the visibility of a scratch.

definitely the best method is front cover change. unfortunately you cannot change it without touch panel and screen altogether. be aware of adverts about front glass only. touch panel is applied to glass, screen to touch panel - i see no way that you'd change glass only without destroying the rest. I don't know how are the prices in UK but where I come from the full set (cover+glass+touch panel+screen) is about 100EUR...

(as I know links to shops are not allowed)

changing it yourself is a piece of cake.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lickarock:
Sadly, the honest answer is no. A scratch is more than a mere blemish... you have technically gouged material out of the surface of your screen. The only way to truly remove the scratch would be to buff the entire screen down to the deepest point of the scratch, which would effectively ruin it. Replacing your screen is the only true option.

There are solvents you can apply to reduce the appearance of the scratch for a time, and thats what most of the liquids you will find online are.

(Edit: I'm not sure most of those solvents would work on normal glass, let alone gorilla glass. Those are generally geared more towards plastics.)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MiKenning:
Something like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Replaceme...arts_Tools&hash=item2a1cba3783#ht_1281wt_1144

Two questions: How easy, exactly? And will it void my warranty?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lickarock:
That is for the international phone,and will not work if you have one of the us variants. Easy enough with the right tools. Yes, it will void your warranty.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaeilge:
@MiKenning

you're too fast, I'm too slow - I had to edit the post that it wouldn't make a mess.

such a thing is just the one I mentioned to avoid.

I meant cheap because in Croatia i9100 is still about 500-700EUR. changing screen for 100EUR seems not so much then...

forgive me if I confused you by posting too fast and not the full info.

here's the link showing disassembling of sgs2. it's korean version but step by step it's the same:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=QKztg1ra4-0

and YES - this will void your warranty. if you still have warranty unfortunately it make no sense for you to do anything yourself except trying to polish it or applying screen shield. you may also ask how much it would cost at Samsung service.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MiKenning:
Ah right I see! Well, I might as well wait until my warranty is over or just stop myself from scratching my screen up! :)

Thank you anyway! I don't think I'll bother even trying in the future! Haha!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaeilge:
well don't give up. if you don't want to spend so much money just try to find some good screen protector - i read a lot of times that some of them really works.

whatever else you try you have to be extremely carefull no to get blurred image all over your screen.

Firstly, sorry for my English... T.T

I've used galaxy s2 for about 8 months...

I live in Korea, so my Galaxy S2 is not as same as model I9100.

My s2's model is SHW-m250s.

What I want to ask is same as title, "Is Korean Galaxy s2 can flash I9100 custom roms?"

Uhm.. as galaxy s3's themes and other things get leaked, many custom roms adopted and applied it.

and also, I want to flash and experience so many custom roms but I'm so worried about being brick..

Thus, I must check that SHW-m250s can flash roms for I9100.

Please help me!!

I hope that your answer will be good news~ :)

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Wond3r:
Which do you think is the best, and why?

Also can you mention the price of it too, please
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Inc:
Navigon.

Don't know the price - bought it YEARS ago ...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] androidboy123:
I would say sygic cause after u have download the map. It just uses the satelit to track ur phone rather than 3g. This saves u some bucks.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Wond3r:
Does it have lots of POIs?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] monkey28rb:
Waze... Free turn by turn Nav with user updated traffic.. Real time road conditions.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Wond3r:
I just read that Sygic uses TomTom maps, which is good

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] serginho.vault:
It’s very hard to tell which Gps app is the best for new Samsung GT-I9300 Galaxy S III.

I’ve installed those Gps apps: Navikey 7 ways, Sygic Aura, Route 66(Maps + Navigation)

All those working well(full screen) for Galaxy’s resolution 1280x720.

Navikey 7 ways - I the very new app from our Russian friends, don’t have many option yet, app & maps for it, is completely free.

Sygic Aura - much better than 7 ways, but I personally didn’t like it for some reasons. Try it, possibly you’ll like.

There are many forums where you can download it for free, already cracked.

Route 66(Maps + Navigation) – best app for now. I sure that many of WM users know it very well. It is free for 30 days only. Find the price for it on their web site. Hope you know what the Google is…

I’m new android user, and my best Gps app form WM is the IGO, but unfortunately do not exist yet for our 1280x720 resolution. When it comes, I’ll change to that one. For me is the best Gps program.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] monkey28rb:
Try Waze! Im telling you its great.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jasweb:
+1

Should be in the poll. It looks like a "micky mouse" app, but it is really powerful.

Also love how quickly the S3 gets a GPS lock. Makes navigation super accurate (and fast to start). No waiting for GPS...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Wond3r:
Can i still add it to the poll?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] bigdreco:
I think Copilot is the best..

I have downloaded the maps to the phone so I don't need data.. just GPS.. but it drains the battery pretty fast I think.. I get about 2 to 2 in a half hours out of a 3500mAh battery.. and that's while its on the car charger.. maybe that's normal. I don't know..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jstockda:
Osmand. I was using it on my s2 and now the s3. You can download maps for free and they are updated monthly. Try it, its free.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] m33ts4k0z:
I've bought Sygic since my Nokia 5800 Xpress music and I really liked it back then. However the latest years Sygic isn't updating the maps that often. Last maps update is 2010 as far as I remember.

I tried using Sygic some weeks ago just to see if the 3 years old roads were updated. Well... They weren't. There are some new roads in the town I live in and I drove over them just to see that Sygic was displaying them as farming fields without names or something. This is really disappointing.

If the maps get updated then I think Sygic is the best since it has many POIs and real places photos and it doesn't require internet as Google Maps does.

For the moment and since Sweden is having a great HSDPA network coverage in combination with my 10 GB data plan I will be using Google Maps. (Google Navigation does support voice guidance in swedish!)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] subvertbeats:
I used to do a lot of driving with work. Tried almost all of them - always keep coming back to Co-Pilot live Premium.

Very powerful, very stable. Reasonable pricing, including things like free live traffic for 12 months.

Please be mindful that the poll will show what people are using (typically someone will use just one app that they have paid for and wont have experience with others, and many will be using free solutions like G Maps), not what is the better app.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] corrsea:
I have previously fully tested the android versions of Igo, Sygic, Navigon, Copilot, Ndrive as well as most of the free navigation apps on my last device.

They all have different features that will appeal to individual preferences.

IGO has always been by far the best GPS software but is not available for purchase on android. The resolution for this device is not supported yet but it's only a matter of time before someone produces a skin that supports it. It is highly customizable and appeals to the more technically minded who are prepared to get into its guts and mess around. That being said the android version is unfortunately a battery hog and I would not recommend it to the casual GPS user for that reason.

The worst is Navigon which although it has a nice interface and almost perfect TTS suffers from atrocious routing (it will get you where you want to go but invariably by the worst route possible)

The rest fall somewhere inbetween with Sygic being the closest contender to Igo in terms of routing, flexibility and 3d map display. As a previous poster has mentioned though, you take your chances with map updates.

Google maps navigation has come on in leaps and bounds over the last year and is now a close contender. The advantages are that it's free and totally integrated with the OS. Routing could be improved but it's search function is unbeatable, particularly the ability to voice search. It looks pretty certain that Google are about to release a major upgrade in the near future which should include full offline use and lots of other goodies.

Finally, we are lucky to own a device which in my opinion is about as state of the art as non military GPS technology gets.

due to the nature of my job i drive around a lot, i started with sigic aura, it works well but i could never get it to use the fatest route (it would always go for the shortest route) , it would use A/B roads over two junctions further on the motoway to back track a mile.

so i got copilot live when it was released and it works.

Still no audio during Navigation.

Also, when Navigation starts up, it says "Navigation is not yet available in this location". But I can still continue with "Get Directions" & tracking & directions work normally.

Dunno if the above has anything to do with Audio..

But Waze has no problems speaking during Navigation.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] stondec:
Google maps, of course is the best by a country, it's very efficient, very accurate most of the time, simple, intuitive, easy to use, has tons of features and it's free and just works and works well.

Why would you pay for some of the other navigation apps that don't even work well, are buggy, grossly inaccurate and simply frustrating to use.

I'ts simple, Google navigation is free and it works better than anything else.
