I am still getting tweets from people who say they cannot get this CWM to work on their SHV-E120 (Asian SGS2 HD LTE).... The title of this thread and the various warnings in post #1 should tell you which device this is for.

Please read the instructions instead of rushing and proceeding straight to the Download link. You can risk bricking your device - I won't be responsible for those who do not read.

Does anyone know how to get rid of the custom Rom count? There is a thread for the s3, but has anyone tried anything on ours?
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Best thing to do is notify ChainFire and have him update the Triangle Away app with the required info. This clears the custom binary count. I was going to do that but forgot.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Okay I've uploaded the stock ROMs for Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich again. These ones should not have any md5 mismatch errors.

This is probably the last thing I am doing before I put my device up on eBay.

Stuck in recovery mode!!!

I recently rooted my galaxy s2 lte hd SGH-i757m using clockwork mod as well as Odin.

when I was at work a random software update was sent to me through samsung and I had accepted it by mistake. the phone shut down automatically and now only powers up straight into Clockwork Recovery Mod. I can start my phone up in download mode but that does nothing for me either. I'm new when it comes to rooting and definitely screwed up by allowing the software update. another side note is the samsung logo does appear for about a second that vibrates and goes into recovery. I reset to factory settings and formatted my data and nothing is working. I even downloaded the stock rom for the sgh-i757m and tried to unzip it with recovery and it fails..

ANY INFORMATION AS TO HOW TO RESET MY PHONE TO FACTORY SETTINGS WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!1
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
1) Go into clockworkmod

2) Wipe all your data

3) Go into download mode

4) Flash the ICS stock ROM using Odin

5) You now have a fresh new system and the original recovery image

Stuck in recovery mode (pt 2)

so i've followed your steps and got stuck on Odin. I've updated my drivers and reinstalled odin and samsung kies. kies isn't running when I enter download mode and when I open Odin it does not give me a COM PORT MAPPING number. everything is blank and it won't recognize a phone. my computer recognizes a device and install drivers automatically yet ODIN cannot recognize it. any suggestions??
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
It was answered a page or two ago in this thread, I don't know what they did but just search for it.

I don't know, this is really an Odin question, beyond my knowledge. Custom Recovery flashed fine for me after I got the drivers installed automatically from Kies.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Finally got CWM flashed and booted it properly. Then I flash root_sgs2hdbell_ics.zip which say's it finishes. I hit reboot and CWM tells me "root possibly lost, fix? and I hit yes. I then reboot the phone but root checker say's the phone does not have root access and droid VNC server won't run.

Should I flash the root_sgs2hdbell_ics.zip to root and then flash the stock with no Bell apps or CM?

Just do a battery pull in the middle of a radio update
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
you cant pull the battery.

Try flashing an ruu then unplugging it half way through.

Why do you want to brick it ? Try helping someone to get S-OFF for us all if you aren't bothered about bricking your phone

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sivarticus85:
Hello everyone. Something that came to my attention today that I wanted to share with everyone was the issue of slow network speeds, including GPS. Since the antenna are attached to the back cover if the camera, if removed and not reattached properly, speeds will take a hit. Make sure the contact points are clean, and also make sure the cover is set properly in place. The slightest shift in the cover creates a bad connection. If this has already been addressed then great, otherwise, just something to consider if your speeds take a hit.

Thanks!

~Siv
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yamaford:
I'm guessing the antennas on the cover are worthless. My signal is the same with the cover removed a with it on.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Toast95135:
Is that an antenna or the NFC chip inside the black cover?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] digiblur:
Pull up the debug screen and go to the EVdo data screen and pull the cover off. Watch the signal number.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wfrandy:
Looks to me like all of the antennas are in the plastic back cover. I was playing with it today and could make my signal strength on 3g vary by over 12 db just by squeezing and tapping on the plastic cover. Not an optimum design, in my opinion.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nabbed:
I wonder if it would be worthwhile to put drops of solder on contact points (there are something like four-five; you can clearly see them as scratch marks on copper). Maybe people with an unusually bad reception can fix it that way.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wfrandy:
They look to be gold plated contact points, so I suspect putting solder on them would actually worsen the problem.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rooterman:

I bought a lapdock over a sale site for cheap. It came in today and I noticed that it is a UK Keyboard and my phone doesn't have an option to set it for UK. Only has US English, International English, Latin American, and French Canadian.

The only real problem here is that the visible keyboard is slightly different. For example the '@' appears to be beside the right of your right pinky but it's actually on shift+2 which the keyboard shows is ".

On a related/unrelated note, when i'm in the "phone" mode it has these quick shortcuts... P takes me to music, M takes me to maps, etc. This is a neat feature... when i'm not trying to send a text. Is there a way to disable these shortcuts?

Hi All,

I am having a slightly different issue. I'm rooted and have frozen the 'TetheringProvision 1.04.02.TM'.

When I was broadcasting, my computer wouldn't connect to the network. My workaround was to delete the connection in Windows Network Manager and reconnect.

My tethering icon is different than the above screenshots, I have a T-Mobile branded icon.

Now that I'm able to connect, I'm getting a message in my webbrowser to sign up for a tethering plan. I've tried a User-Agent switcher, but that didn't work... anyone have any suggestions?

I'm having similar issues with mobile hotspot. I have tried freezing and deleting Tether provisioning, device management, and a number of other stock services. However no matter what, the T-Mobile icon always appears when I enable hotspot or wifi tethering and I'm limitted to the stupid WEP access with generated keys.

Bluetooth Tethering

I was able to get WiFi tethering working in the official ICS release by freezing a couple of apps in Titanium Backup. Don't remember which ones, but I do remember disabling one and having it freeze up the settings menu. Unfreeze the app and everything worked normally, so don't fret about getting it wrong.

For those wondering, Bluetooth Tethering is enabled and working in Cyanogenmod 9, which is pretty great.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fg:
3 weeks later and I figured out what was confusing me. Freezing / removing tethering provision does enable the stock hotspot mode. however, the icon is still the t-mobile branded hotspot icon, and you have to go into the menu options to configure the hotspot settings (which was on the main wifi tethering settings screen on prior ics leaks)

I was not expecting the t-mobile icon nor having to go into the menus

T-Mobile wifi hotspot for rooted Mytouch ICS NOT WORKING!

First off, I do Not have the option in Titanium backup to freeze or uninstall tethering provision, as it's not even listed. I can post a screenshot if I need to, after I learn how to do it. Was wondering if there was something I missed, maybe? Also, Foxfi shows up and will connect with my Xbox as well as computer (which always connects with USB tethering), and everything else I've tried connecting with through wifi, but it pretty much acts like a dead connection. Even through USB on the computer I cannot connect my network or Xbox to Foxfi. I have also tried creating a new apn, but can see in myaccount that my wifi usage is still being tracked, and still increased with a new apn. I only get 2.5g a month for free wifi usage, but pay for unlimited data that I'd like to be able to use. Also, I have tried all the suggested wifi tether apps to no avail. Can someone please help?

T-mobile Mytouch with CWM, flashed to stock ICS, with SU and Busybox, as well as Root Explorer, Root validator, PDANET and Foxfi, with the add-on and key installed. Any NEW info you can suggest would be much appreciated.

Won't let me ul an attachment, but I can send u whatever you need to email.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Amero07:
Yeah these methods are now outdated.. Only way to tether without getting caught is to flash a non tmobile rom. Even then, I haven't tried this out since my note 2 back in July. To help you understand, now with every software and phone that tmobile sells and sometimes phones they don't sell, they send a carrier update that installs Internet usage in the apn, so they can know the difference between tethering and native phone usage. In fact, sometimes it thinks you're tethering when you download another browser from the app store..

So my recommendation is to root your phone, flash a rom by cyanogen out some other developer that does not use stock tmobile rom, including those that have tweaks to stock rom, and then try using foxfi or your choice of masking Internet tethering app. Also use tmobiles old apn. The epc.tmobile one. I think the fast.t-mobile doesn't work properly. I ran into problems with my note 2 after the update to lte in April last year, which changed my apn to the aforementioned new apn.

Let me know how it goes! Best of luck!
