[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digitaniel:
Many apps can't be installed to the external SD. So if you plan on installing a lot of apps and don't mind the wait, I'd say go for the 32 gb. There's no such thing as too much storage space ;-)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Just get the 16gb and put all your media files on a memory card if 16gb is enough for all your Apps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cronus101:
Internal memory is always faster then external memory. If you are not bothered about in price difference, get the 32gb version.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnakeHaveYou:
Hi, so you can choose to save Videos and Photos taken with camera to External SD instead of Internal?

And use the Internal SD ONLY for the data downloaded by games and app (Android and Data folders), ClockworkMod Recovery and Titanium Backup?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cronus101:
Yes, you can.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Totòòò:
I find the 32gb useless for a device that lets u use memory cards.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbzgod:
Isn't the internal ones better quality and high speed rating though? (my S2's internal writes at over 6MB/s and reads at 50) Looking at the SDcards I can get here there aren't many in store and most are class 6 and under can't find any class 10's that aren't cheap pos or good but really expensive and unnecessary. So I'm pretty much looking at needing to buy online you add shipping to that and I might as well just get the 32GB model for ease and less hassle. It also looks like Bell Canada will have the 32GB models on launch day as well so I think I will just get that when I go to get my S3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cronus101:
Don't only look at class speeds.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnakeHaveYou:
Mmmm.. Maybe i'll go with the internal 16GB + 32/64GB class 10 memory!

Hi I want to update my phone but I'm confused with all the problems and the SI numbers that are needed in order to update to ICS I'm thinking of updating via flashtool, since I connected my phone and Pc companion didn't detected a new version, besides .62 ( I'm using .58 fw) so I want to know if I can update it yet, or I'll have to wait more? I also want to know if I have to update to .62 before updating to Ics? Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Somyab:
Nope.u can directly update to ics.but dnt forget to wipe data before update.it will give u fresh feel
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ginryu:
you don't have to wait if you don't want to and you can update straight from .58 its not an issue.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
Anyway, if you wipe, you can't have a rooted phone.

To root your 4.0.4 you have to follow THIS steps.

Otherwise, just flash ICS via flashtool.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rolo143:
Ok guys thanks for your help, but nobody told me how to update, I mean pc companion don't fine me the ics update, how could I install ICS? You say I don't have to wait, so is there an ics update for lww available? If so, where can I download it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Check my signature. For the procedure. You will need ftf files for your phone, which you can search here in xda.

Thanks,

Hit Thanks if I helped in anyway

I just installed the darkside evolution 3.. Which is a stock kernel official release by TMobile. The app still says that the phone is vulnerable and throws off the warning.

I know there are threads which tell you what it does but IM a layman in mobile development .. Need something in layman terms..

If I got the warning, does it mean I should stop flashing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Octane70:
As discussed before, Its only recoveries that are compiled with ICS kernels not roms. The odin installed ICS leaks were installing a recovery using ICS kernels so when it wiped it bricked your phone.

Roms are all fine as long as your using a recovery complied with GB kernel.

Thats what i got out of it

This isn't really the best place to discuss this but my experience...

There are android malware, but if you're getting your apps from reputable sources like the Play Store, It's probably not worth running AV unless you get some other benefit from it.

I have Lookout installed on all my phones for its lost-my-phone protections like finding the phone's location and remote wiping it. Lookout does antivirus scanning too, so I let it run weekly. In 18 months on 8 different phones I've never had a virus detected. Assuming Lookout is competent at virus detection. I think that shows the threat is low, but it does exist.
[Milestone 2 General] donlloreda:
Hi everybody, this is my first post, though I've been a reader from a long time ago.

Long story short: I received this milestone 2 from my brother, my other phone is a defy (cm7), I use both of them, updated to cm9 on milestone, milestone kaput, need help, has anybody got a clue on what is going on with my phone?

Last night or so I grabbed a copy of the latest CM9 rom from the forum, installed it and really loved it. Except for two messy TINY things. except for that I cannot believe I got almost 2 days of battery out of it!!!

First issue: Google apps, I mean anything google related, won't work and FC. even if I am am on the browser, and try to type an address, the second google search kicks in to show suggestion dara! dead google crap.

Second Issue: Home button won't do anything. I mean the phone does vibrate when it is pressed, by the way I already chcked for key assignments, not even long-pressing it will show any response except for the vibration.

Third issue: Say Im reading something, lock my phone... when unlocking it, it won't show me the lockscreen, even though it is activated.

at first I said "ok let's swap launchers maybe I can make it go away" and so Ive tried ADW ex, trbuchet and a couple more, with no success, going back to ADW regular, a very nice thing here, is that video recording has worked well since the first time I flashed the rom.

Thanks for your eventual responses!!

I almost forgot: this is what I have done until now: flashed and reflashed at least 6 times, flashed gapps, flashed gapps fix, in many combinations, wiping the hell out of the phone every time... I'm really stuck in here!

Ive also searched not only the forums but the internet aswell, and I find my googling skills pretty decent to be fair :D
[Milestone 2 General] donlloreda:
New developments!

So, I got a little curious.. I had installed on my milestone the ics alike cm7... or so I remember, (if it was a theme my bad, anyway...) I was going through phone information, and I noticed something strange:

Android version: 2.3.7

mod version: CyanogenMod-72-111215..........NIGHTLY Milestone 2 gb

Build number: Gingerbread GWK74 CyanogenMilestone 2

so one does not have to be a genius to just see that I *may* have not applied the update, or that the updating process was somehow incomplete.. question has anybody who has ever applied CM9 on their phones came to this issue?? have you applied the update via cwmod or stock recovery or wtf am I doing wrong here uh?

I am really, really puzzled!!
[Milestone 2 General] thiagomtl:
cm7 has a theme that make it looks like ICS but its still a gingerbread (2.3.x android version).

CM9 is the real ICS.

You installed CM7 with a ICS theme, as we can see in your mod version: CyanogenMod-72-111215..........NIGHTLY Milestone 2 gb
[Milestone 2 General] donlloreda:
knew that already!

yup dude, you are totally right, I may have confused you people along my post...

I have had installed CM7 with the ICS theme, the one with the 2.3.6 android

However, I grabbed a copy of CM9 from this forum (the one based on tezet's work, that first one on the dev thread...)

I flashed that file via cwm..

and I've had, as I state on mi first post here, flashed, reflashed, recontraflashed the thing, and resseted my phone to factory so much that it has got to be newer than brand new now... just kidding..

anyway, thanks for your interest man, my bad!

I've just re-read my post.. I never mentioned that I already had installed CM7 on my milestone!
[Milestone 2 General] thiagomtl:
LOL.

Try this:

In the bootmenu you can choose between "stock" "custom or "latest" recovery, try with a different one i think it worked for me when i used custom recovery.
[Milestone 2 General] donlloreda:
LOL :S

Dude lol I think I've just messed up BIG TIME.....

well seeing how it didnt seem to work out any way, thanks for pointing out the other recovery methods btw.

I may have not told you the whooole story :cool:

the freaking usb connection wont work.. it hasn´t worked since I got the phone nor it has worked now.. the charge led will never turn on, or will the pc or mac or whatever I plug it into react somehow to it.

anyway, I may have flashed the rom again in stock recovery :rolleyes: and this is where things got nasty... It doesnt get past the boot logo, which by the way, was the red M logo, the last time I remember it to boot (even after re re re re re re flashing the CM9 rom!!!!!) it had another one.... weird uh????

now it gets even weirder just read this thing!!!

The phone will get past the red M logo, then the screen goes black, but I can see it is lit...

I waited for a really long time (more than 30 minutes) to see no response..

took out the battery... did not power it on again as i had stuff to do..

I dont know why, but I plugged it into the usb cable.. (I was working on the computer) And the phone turned on!!!!!!! so I guess It is not a busted usb port???

I went on ahead to go to bootloader, and when I plug the cable it is shown as such!!!

sadly, rsd does not recognize the phone as plugged, even though the phone says it is indeed plugged in...

what the hell is wrong????

is there any way I can flash anything if Im stuck after the red M?

this sucks
[Milestone 2 General] thiagomtl:
Oh man...

There are 2 versions of gingerbread kernels, the chinese and the European. As i understand you've flashed the wrong version (CH rom over EU GB kernel or otherwise).

You can try flashing the fixed_sbf which is the CH kernel. Or you can try the below, which is my suggestion:

Download the 2.3.4 EU (UK) SBF flash it through RSDlite and then root, installl bootstrap, bootmenu and then the CM9 EU GB rom.

TWO IMPORTANT THINGS: NEVER INSTALL 2.3.6 VIVO OR PERSONAL ARGENTINA SINCE THEY ARE UNROOTABLE!! And also never use RSDlite when you are running low on battery.

And the MS2 is safe for flashing since it has a locked bootloader so its VERY hard to brick it. Your screen is black because it is in the bootloader mode.
[Milestone 2 General] morcego.surf:
Do not Vivo and Claro 2.3.6 roms

Be careful, VIVO and CLARO roms should not be used.
[Milestone 2 General] donlloreda:
dafuq!

Nite! my man, I´ve been careful enough to avoid flashing wrong kernels so no, the answer is not there..... sadly...

I cannot interact in NO way with the device via USB, so flashing through RSD is a no-go.........

I do have another phone though.........

so the main prob here is now I do know what to do.. I think I´ve always knew rsd is the way to go.. as for the locked BL, yeah! Ive been into motomodding since the c350.. I really think I do know my way in the motorola mess if you know what I mean, OS may have changed but the system's structure's still the same **** from the old days!...

Basically now my question is this:

what the **** can I do given what I have??? (a non working usb connection, and a phone stuck at Bootloader OR stock Recovery....)
[Milestone 2 General] m4rkiz:
if power+up arrow and then flashing via rsd don't work for you

you only have two options - first is power+x and then @ which gets you to build in recovery (try to wipe or find an update.zip that can be flashed [if there is any - never did that myslef])

or flashing from your custom recovery if you have one installed

that is all i know (but i only have milestone since tuesday ;))

good luck anyway
[Milestone 2 General] thiagomtl:
Geez man!!!

So have you tried using another usb cable? Cause i've exhausted my theories about your problem... sorry
[Milestone 2 General] donlloreda:
every freaking cable :(

As I got it as a gift, I thought my defy´s charger was "not powerful enought" even though that was absolutely ridiculous...

I went and try to buy the charger but nobody in here seems to know the pnhone so I would be kind of afraid to take it to service :confused:
[Milestone 2 General] donlloreda:
Une petit question

:D so I think I found a really good site with *loads* of firmwares, branded debranded, official etc...

just to be sure, I tried to flash the update again in stock recovery (pwer + x) but at some point the installer promted some error about signature verification in the whole file.

so my question(s) are:

can I make a file *signed* in any way? if so can you point me out where and how to start?

and just to be on the safe side: If only if only I can grab something that I would be able to flash via stock recovery... I should flash a 2.3.7 based one right? If I do try and flash something lower I would make my problems worst right???

btw, If the phone freezes or sometimes goes through the red M, but there is no led lighting up, can I still go into custom recovery eg. CWM???
[Milestone 2 General] thiagomtl:
About the signing the zip file, yes you can, but i don't know how search in the "Android Development" section. But sbf files cannot be signed... if you discover how you will be the MS2 savior!

In the CWM you can flash just about anything as it can be reversed by flashing sbf's, on the otherside, YOU SHALL NOT FLASH!! Any VIVO or PERSONAL ARGENTINA 2.3.6 rom (sbf) cause they are unrootable. You should do just fine flashing the 2.3.4 UK.

And i don't think you will be capable of entering the CWM if the led doesn't flash cause it's an error that happens before CWM is started. In this cases you will have to flash sbf's, root.... all over again.
[Milestone 2 General] donlloreda:
thaks man, but......

then the only way give I cannot flash under RSD, is making a "completeupdatewhateverCMorMIUUdafuq.zip" signed so I can load it through stock recovery rite???

remember CWM not availible.. nor USB interface...

will search though on "signing" an update file, yes that 2.3.4 UK you said.. from there I'll just try to make it match my defy :P
[Milestone 2 General] donlloreda:
a little discovery!

Source: http://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-sign-apk-zip-files/

When publishing an application or a custom rom you need to sign the .apk or .zip files with a certificate using a private key. The Android system uses the certificate to identify the author of an application and establish trust relationship between applications.

The classic way of doing this was to use keytool then sign it with jarsigner. In this tutorial i’ll explain an alternative method which is relatively easy to use for most people using a tool called SignApk.jar.

SignApk.jar is a tool included with the Android platform source bundle, you can download it from here.

To use SignApk.jar you have to create a private key with it’s corresponding certificate/public key. To create private/public key pair, you can use Openssl. Openssl is relatively easy to use under unix/linux system. For Windows user, you can download Windows version of Openssl here.

How to create private/public key pair using openssl (windows version)

Download openssl package from google code link.

Extract it anywhere...

Within openssl directory type (using cmd admin mode: ctrl+shift+r then cmd):

- openssl genrsa -out key.pem 1024

- openssl req -new -key key.pem -out request.pem

- openssl x509 -req -days 9999 -in request.pem -signkey key.pem -out certificate.pem

- openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -outform DER -in key.pem -inform PEM -out key.pk8 -nocrypt

(dload SignApk.rar)

Extract it anywhere

If you don’t have java installed, download and install it.

Copy certificate.pem and key.pk8 into your extracted SignApk directory

Within SignApk directory type (again using cmd admin mode: ctrl+shift+r then cmd):

java -jar signapk.jar certificate.pem key.pk8 your-app.apk your-signed-app.apk

OR

java -jar signapk.jar certificate.pem key.pk8 your-update.zip your-signed-update.zip

Note:

If you don’t want to create your own public/private key pair, you can use test key included in SignApk.rar.

Sooooo now what the hell do I have to sign???

LOL I'll go for the update I was trying to install at first... if anything goes wrong I'll just take it to service I guess have the USB repaired and RSD the hell out of it.. after all this is a reaaaaly great great phone uh?

maybe I should go first with the UK you suggested man?
[Milestone 2 General] donlloreda:
About my last post

Hello everyone, so... the signing didnt went well LOL -.-

I guess I have to make the "signature" to match moto's right?

how can I get hold of that signature information? I mean can I download a signed (official) update, which is flashable via stock recovery (is there any???) extract the signature information, and then apply it to my package??????

Ok, now just to put things on the clear side: the instructions in the last post were not written well, but you may already knew that if you read the post.

anyway, as for the problems I ran into:

1: ctrl shift r does not do ****... just typoe cmd on the start menu, right-click it and run as admin.

2: It is EASIER if you copy everything to the root of your drive, and give files and folders short names!

3:

openssl genrsa -out key.pem 1024 <here you may run into an error regarding openss.conf.... just copy openss.conf from openss directory to openss/bin/ directory....

openssl req -new -key key.pem -out request.pem

openssl x509 -req -days 9999 -in request.pem -signkey key.pem -out certificate.pem

openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -outform DER -in key.pem -inform PEM -out key.pk8 -nocrypt

ok from now on it is pretty straightforward, I haven't got time to play around but, There is a step in which the program asks for your Company's name, adress, etc.. maybe if you knew what info is in motorola's signature you can make this fields match??

well I don't know.. but ill try and discover it!
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
Nope and nope. Please learn something about signatures, how they work etc. You can't (obviously) "extract" the private key from the signed file... The signing would be useless then - don't you think?

Seriously? I think you are not from IT industry, right?

Stop it. You just wasting your time.

Your real options:

1) Get signed update.zip from Moto (I don't think there is any and I did not saw any)

2) get your USB port fixed and flash it via RSDLite. (if it is HW problem - just fix or get it fixed, otherwise, you are doing something wrong)

RSDLite and SBF flash is your only realistic option.

RSDLite works everytime. You can not break (except for HW issue) your M2 the way, it will not work with RSDLite.

I was running Newt's One S 4.0 Port and Friend Stream and the widget work fine. I pulled the apks for Newt's ROM, but they are odex and need to be deodexed in order for them to work on Virus' ROM. I've been reading on how to do it, and what tools to read, but I can't seem to find the right tool. Would anyone familiar with deodexing care to deodex these files I've attached for me.
