[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Genesis3:
tParsons, if you have a NON-STOCK recovery (e.g. Clockwork) on the phone then you WILL bootloop if you try to update. You

must

flash the stock recovery back before accepting the update or you're screwed.

The reason is that the first thing the new version does is try to run the update script, which fails as Clockwork doesn't know how to grok the stock update script process.

It's ok to be rooted (you'll lose root) but NOT ok to have a non-stock recovery when you get an update. Since the most-common way to get root on these devices is by using ODIN to put a non-stock recovery on the phone, accepting an update will almost-always result in a bootloop on a rooted phone unless you flash the stock recovery first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Papa Midnight:
I actually got the same notification today.

I literally JUST got my White SGS II myself yesterday afternoon (Father's Day Sale from T-Mobile) and spent last night loading it with all my APPS. I thought about going to ICS, but CoPilot Live does not work well (aka: Not at all) with ICS in my experience. That said, I delayed the update till tomorrow till I knew what the update was and popped over here.

Now I'm wondering what's going to happen when the update takes place tomorrow (I delayed it for 24 hours). Is my phone going to bootloop as well?

For the record, phone is completely stock. It's still running GB out the gate from T-Mobile (TouchWiz, Bloatware, and all) with the stock recovery, bootloader, everything. I haven't even had an opportunity to touch this phone yet. So I'm wondering if I'm going to get Bootlooping non-stop the moment it decides to force the update tomorrow.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Genesis3:
CoPilot released a (free) update to CoPilot GPS and that version DOES work fine with ICS (I own it and use it)

If your recovery is NOT changed over (you DO NOT have Clockwork on the phone) the update should be ok. No promises, but I did it via KIES and all was good -- all I did was flash back to the stock recovery first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Papa Midnight:
I am aware. It did not work for me on neither my gTablet (using a GPS Puck) nor my Motorola Xoom (both of which were running ICS). It did work for me under Honeycomb though. Apparently, I'm not the only one either. But that is a discussion for another topic. I merely mentioned it as an extraneous point.

Well, the phone is (Currently) 2 days out the store from retail. I also carried over my Premium Handset Protection. Something screws up because of T-Mobile, they'll most certainly be replacing it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Atmazzz:
Hmm .. I've updated with Kies and Odin while I had CWM and never had a bootloop.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Papa Midnight:
Went ahead and let the update go after my phone wouldn't stop pestering me about it and popping up notifications half the day at work (not cool). Worked in one go. All it did (that I can see) was change the lock screen habits).
[General Questions and Answers] shortperson:
So, I am looking to find a good, but reasonably priced android phone for my sister before she goes overseas.. T-mobile USA has the galaxy s 2 for free today... Could she get it, pay a months service, then pay the 200 dollar etf and keep the phone? I couldn't find anything that says otherwise.
[General Questions and Answers] bigraymeehan:
Yes you could, that is what the ETF is for, however it will probably be much higher than 200, more like 375 ish. You would also have to wait until 31 or 32 days into the contract. 31 or 30 days or less and you can return for phone without paying an ETF (I would expect them to pressure you to do this instead of paying the ETF however after that initial month you are good)

The ETF will slowly go down as you progress through the contract. You will also need to get the phone unlocked, and since T-Mobile doesn't use standard 3G Bands you will only receive 2G speeds for internet I think almost everywhere else in the world. (don't exactly quote me on that, i'm not positive whether or not there are more companies who use the non-standard bands in other parts of the world)

You may be better off buying a used AT&T Galaxy S 2 and using it. (AT&T samsung codes are also cheaper than T-Mobile Samsung codes to unlock the phones.
[General Questions and Answers] shortperson:
Sorry about that!

Reading through the t-mobile terms, their initial etf seems to be 200 for all devices. And it seems that the returns period is 14 days. Also, the t-mobile galaxy s II (sgh-t989) seems to have a radio capable with all the umts bands, while att's is only compatible with their umts bands. I was just wondering if they'd have some crazy subsidy rule for advanced devices.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shuichi Nozaki:
All,

I kinda ran into an issue after i was trying to upgrade to ICS on my Galaxy S II.

I downloaded the ROM that Faryaab posted on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 .

SInce i upgraded to Android 2.3.6 before using the information from Intratech in the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 post i also installed CF-Root 5.

Using CWM version 3 i installed the new firmware that Faryaab posted.

I placed the extracted tar.md5 file in a firmware folder on the phone's SD card. At the start of the install i selected "Keep CF-Root"

But after the phone rebooted one and continued with the install i briefly saw an error.

After this the phone rebooted again but froze at the "Samsung Galaxy SII" bootsplash.

I am still abale to get into CWM Recovery but í don't seem to be able to install another ROM or do anthting else.

Also i'm unable to install any updates using Odin3 v1.85 but this is probably due to the fact that i have CWM installed.

The same go's for "Odin3_v3.04" and "Odin Multi Downloader v4.28".

Unfortunately i'm a complete NOOB when it comes to this as i haven't played around enough to really know exactly what i'm doing.

I tried to explain everything i did as precice as possible and i hope someoone can help me!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
I can't make a lot of sense of your post, but you don't mention download mode once.

I don't know how you've managed to flash something with "CFM version 3" (whatever that is) nor why you'd want to keep a GB kernel with an ICS ROM (that won't work).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shuichi Nozaki:
Sorry for the confusion.

I used CWM version 3, i just noticed i made a typo.

I think the kernel is my mistake. I flashed the new ICS firmware before upgrading the Kernel...

Right now i'm unable to use Odin (for as far as i can determine).

I;m able to startup in download mode (power+volume up+home) at which point i am able to get into CWM Recovery (part of CF-Root).

That is all, im completely stuck with what i know.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Download mode is volume down and home and power.

Volume up and home and power is recovery mode.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shuichi Nozaki:
Then that's probably my problem!

I'm going to try that right away!

Thanks for your help!

I'll post a reply if/how i get everything working again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shuichi Nozaki:
Thats indeed turned out to be it!

I was able to flash a new ROM and new Firmware and everything is working again and running on Android 4.0.3 now :)
[Nook Touch General] dr_diem:
Hi all,

I'm trying to get Nook Touch Tools working on the rooted Glowworm (see this thread for details).

The next step is obtaining the vanilla V1.1 jars (android.policy and services) from a NST.

So, does anyone have a vanilla NST (or a complete backup thereof) from which they could extract these two files?

Many thanks in advance,

Ian
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Mumble.
[Nook Touch General] dr_diem:
That'll do nicely!

Thanks Renate :)
[Nook Touch General] IBNobody:
I was planning on doing the same thing next weekend.

I can give you a breadcrumb, though. Either XorZone's Apk will need to be modified, or you'll have to skirt around the extra GlowLight button on the quicknav bar.

Hello,

I have a big problem with my galaxy tab 10.1, with rom aokp, during a crash, i am reboot the tablet but it still reboots.

in recovery mode and i'am wipe data but it nothing past the tablet rest in :

--Wiping data...

Formating /data..

The rom doesn't boot because i can not wipe data/factory reset, I can see my file when I do : install zip from sdcard -> choose zip but when I want mount usb storage there are :

E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory).

If the only solution is the after sale service, I must follow the :How to Unroot / Unbrick the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi Only of qbking77 thread for Unroot ?

I do not know what to do, please help me.

sorry for my English it is google translate from French.

Yes, i made a nandroid backup before but it stop at restore data ...

you advise me unroot the tablet before sending it to "after sale service" ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
Try to restore a nandroid backup. Or go to www.sammobile.com and flash a stock firmware through Odin
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikePierotti:
I would first try to restore using the NANDROID you made prior to upgrading to ICS.

In all instances where I have had a problem using a new ICS build I have ALWAYS found restoring the original NANDROID restores full functionality to my GT-P7500

Flashed Stock firmware via Odin, the device is in a boot loop, restarting at "Updating Application" line

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

SOLVED!!!

flash any stock firmware from SamMobile (i just chose Afghanistan or something...)

After doing that i have been in a boot loop scenario.

I re-flashed CWM via ODIN

then wiped data (and it finally worked!) x3 time, wipe cache x3, and wipe dalvick cache x3. just to be as anal as the guy who suggested that.

after that i re-rooted my device (i do not think its absolutely necessary but i did that...)

after restart the Stcok OS booted normally!

good luck to all the bricked fellows.

Unroot CM 7.x?? Are you kidding me? :P

Who would want to Unroot CyanoagenMod7? LOL.

No, I don't think Samsung would accept a device that is running a Custom ROM, even though it is not rooted.

Editing the build.prop would not restore it to STOCK ROM. :P

Hi,

Its true tht the changelog for C.M 7.2 support for OMAP devices

but when i tried to install it. It search for only I9000 MODELS, hence no support for I9003 SL, so installation failed

if u people can look into this issue. Instead of working on CM 9 then it. will be gud.

Pls do check for these issue!
