[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pelpa87:
first of all, do u have ur device rooted?? if so u must have cwmr. entering in cwmr (with ur phone off, press and keep pressing until galaxyy gt-I9100 logo appears, volume up+home button+ power button) and in there u r going to have an option to do a nandroid back up...that's the tool u r looking for, to make an image of ur phone exactly how it is now.

second, inm there u'll have an option (into mount and storage option) to format "/system", that's the option to eliminate any trace of ur actual rom.

at final, u can download any rom from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 and flash it through odin.

modem can be flashed separetly, u can even use the same modem that u have now...so look for the file of ur actual modem, and after flashing rom, flash that modem or the one u wish

EDIT: DUNNO IF I9000 IS THE SAME AS I9000M, YOU SHOULD FIND OUT THAT FIRST THE ROMS, IN THAT THREAD ARE FOR I9000
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Not necessarily true. You can be rooted and not have CWM recovery.

If you meant I9100 and I9100M, they are AFAIK functionally the same phone. But flashing an I9100 firmware to an I9100M will result in the boot screen and About Phone to both read as I9100 afterwards, instead of I9100M.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pelpa87:
Welll then change the "must" for a "should" just to be more specific........

and, yeah, i say i don't know if they are the same, and put it in red saying that he first should find out.... i just put a rom solution for a I9000, just in case he finds out that are the same.

all other steps are the same for both devices.....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happydude666:
Thanks for the replies so far. I do have CWM installed and I am rooted. I have also previously installed I9100 firmware from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 with no problems. The Bell Canada version of Android is horribly behind. Was causing massive battery drain issues.

Anyway, I will try the system format stuff. Will this erase all folders, etc and leave the drive empty and clean?

I'm currently running Cyanogenmod 7.1, but it's causing some instability and freezes my phone from time to time. I want to reformat to get rid of any old system files that me be left over from my numerous experiments with ROMs. :-P
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pelpa87:
Yeap with system format is enough.. u could erase ir kernel to..with a kernel cleanner...

Can i recomend u a rom? Try rootbox rom...

When i get to work i ll give u both links, kernel cleaner and rootbox one

make your choise

from cwm you have to do wipe dalvik cache, cache partition and system / factory reset (if you want to clear all your information).

You have to do this when you move from a rom to another rom.

And the magic of xda is the variety of ROM's.

Personally i don't like ROOTBOX, i prefer CM9 or Paranaoid. You should try and make your choise. There are two list of ROM's:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happydude666:
Ok...so I think I may have gone a wee bit too quick.

I've downloaded Zip files of cMIUI and official MIUI from their website. I then proceeded to format the phone...and now I can get into CWM recovery & download modes, but Odin doesn't recognize the ZIP files.

Anyway for me to install these ROMs at this point? Response needed ASAP Please. >.<

Thanks everyone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pelpa87:
Odin never recognize zip files...odin flash tar files...check inside the zip should be tar file(s)...if.not..if there ir only folders and other files, then its flashable trhough cwmr
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pelpa87:
be aware that tar files are also compress files, so ur compressor manager maybe will reconize them as so
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happydude666:
I ended up restoring from CWMR back up. The ZIP files contain other files and folders, so I'm assuming it's one of those you have to copy onto the SD Card and flash with CWMR.

I'll try that when I get back to work on Monday as that's where all my files are.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babacool89:
First hi everybody !

I a french noob, so excuse my poor english and informatic vocabulary :D.

My kindle fire (bought in New York in decembre), and since few month i'm stock on the boot screen and reboot all the time (not on the yellow triangle, just on the kindle boot).

Indeed, after root by kindle step by step with cmd (on windows). After that, i wanted to install Google Market ...

However, i did a mistake when was necessary to chance the permissions settings and my kindle was stock.

One day (2 months ago), i find the solution in this forum and i be able to almost fix my problem with Kindle Fire Utility, i have been able to install TWRP but in the final step:fingers-crossed:, my kindle rebooted and was once again stock on the boot screen.

And now, there is an another problem : now my kindle is totally stock on the boot screen (no reboot) and when i plug on my pc, KFU write that the boot status is "unknown" and i can't root, or re-install TWRP or does anything on my Kindle... (and the "light" of the kindle is orange ...).:crying:

Someone can help me ? :fingers-crossed:I search on this forum and try everything since few months ...

I have Teamviewer if someone have the time to help a poor french noob :silly:
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dasanko:
I'm awfully confused... stock on the boot screen? Do you mean you have the stock bootloader, or that the KF is stuck on the boot screen? Do you have FFF installed? If you are unsure, what does your boot screen look like?

Also, how is your KF reported in the device manager?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babacool89:
Excuse me Dasanko, I used the bad word. "Stuck on the boot screen" of course.

To answer your question, i did'nt install FFF (and i can't launch my Kindle in fastboot).

The logo on the boot screen is just "Kindle fire" in white and yellow.

And for the device manager it's write "Android Composite ADB Interface" (it's KFU driver)...

Ask me all question that you want :)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dasanko:
If you really don't have FFF installed, but TWRP is...

If you can ever get the ROM to boot, go with "adb reboot recovery" or "adb idme bootmode 5001".

If there's a chance you do have FFF installed (could be a yellow triangle, the words "kindle fire" with an android on them, or the words "kindle fire" with fire being coloured blue) - then see if your drivers are correctly installed and issue "fastboot getvar product", then plug the KF into the computer. From there you should be able to get things fixed.

So, just to be clear, what version of TWRP did you install? You said it was a few months ago, so there's a chance you could have installed 2.0, which did include an older FFF version with it (yellow triangle screen on startup).

If you can neither get back on the ROM or have any version of FFF installed, then your best course of action is to get a factory cable, which will force the KF into fastboot mode, from which you can work to fix the issues.

Be sure you double check the device manager while the KF's screen is stuck and plugged into the computer. It could be just getting stuck in fastboot mode.
[HTC EVO 3D] kn1ghtnsh1narmr:
I am just wondering how many people are thinking of switching to windows phone 8 from the evo 3d.

I've never been an apple fan although I respect many things about them they are to closed.

linux is great but having to run Wine along with all the other headaches.

Windows Phone 8 is suppose to be more open than windows phone 7. Windows 8 Pro Surface actually looks great. It would be nice to be able to use Hulu without having to pay for Hulu Plus and running an i5 instead of an ARM processor. Windows 8 looks like it will be nice for laptops and desktops and the new update to xbox seems to be on a new level compared to apple tv and google tv/or nexus q.

I am worried about things like steam(if there are any pc gamers out there), that xbox live coming to the pc will cause problems for it, and although windows phone 8 will be more open than wp7 im worried about what will be restricted. I thought I would like to hear any thoughts anyone else had.

-as a side note. is there anyone who has a 3d that lives in a wimax area without lte and actually bought it? I tried to live on no 4g with some roms and I couldn't take it. Wimax maybe in the wrong frequency without enough towers but at least you can use it sometimes.
[HTC EVO 3D] runcool:
DUDE. we all know you work in advertisement for microsoft trying to push the windows 8 phones. just don't make another thread until 25 posts elsewhere. No one is going to switch. Windows and apple are both evil! evil corps!
[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
Gross... Windows phone 8... I think I'm going to throw up
[HTC EVO 3D] flonker:
What's Windows phone 8? That's like asking how many people feel like switching to webOS. Didn't BlackBerry come out with a new OS too?

All kidding aside, Windows 8 could be the best operating system ever designed, but if it doesn't have enough of the market share, it doesn't matter. It will always leave you wanting more. I thought (and still do), that webOS was a great operating system. However, not having any realistic shot hindered it's development. Obviously, MS has more capital to throw at it's mobile OS, but until that money spent turns into users, there will be a lack of 3rd party development, which will always leave you wanting more.

When BlackBerry 10 (I think that's the new OS) was introduced I was really impressed with some of it's design. That doesn't change the fact that it's BlackBerry 10.

Right now, it is a two party fight, Google and Apple. MS, has a chance, and is getting much better, but isn't there quite yet. To make me switch to a Windows device, MS is going to have to offer something better than Android, not just something about the same. That's their role as a company playing catch up.
[HTC EVO 3D] ButtaKnife:
I don't even live in a WiMAX area and I bought the 3D. It's a fantastic phone, and I'll be sticking with it until LTE coverage expands.

As for WP8, or anything Windows these days, I'm really not interested. I keep up with the new Windows OS's just to stay current, but they do not impress me at all. In fact, Windows 8 is a gimmick to me. I'll be happily sticking with Android. 4.1 does a wonderful job about polishing the OS to the level that it deserves. There's always room for improvement, but if there wasn't, we'd have no need for ROMs, apps, themes, wallpapers, etc. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] kn1ghtnsh1narmr:
I couple of things, first I wish I worked for microsoft. I wouldn't mind making some extra money. Second, I have a soft spot in my heart for microsoft. I had to deal with relatives talk about how they have been apple people all there life. I did use apple 2 computer in elementary school but my family has been a windows family. I've used every version from windows from 3.1 and on. My first smart phone was the htc mogul then htc touch pro then the htc touch pro 2. I didn't get the evo because I was waiting for windows phone 7 (also no 4g in my area at the time) and when I heard windows phone 7 wouldn't have multicores, or 4g I had to pass on it and I got the 3d the first day it came out. (not to mention xbox 360 was my first pass at consoles since n64 and the original playstation.)

I'm not saying microsoft is a best company, I'm favorite game company is valve and there games on xbox suck because the xbox live team limits patches to the game.

We all know less than 1% of android users will ever go to the iphone and some of you guys even came from the iphone to android when you didn't know any better. But I would like to have the openness of android and have all my stuff connected like apple. My hope is that what windows 8 can give me.

I was worried I wouldn't be able to use google glasses but then I found out they are $1,500 to developers at least now I'm not too concerned.

a couple of side notes

1. that while everyone was suing everyone else microsoft was developing windows phone.

2. windows phone 7 was pretty much a beta for windows phone 8(i think a lot of people didn't buy it because they know windows phone 8 was going to come out.)

3. Last Buttaknife I hate to break it to you but I don't think spring is going to be expanding its 4g map of LTE any more than wimax was. I think the plan is to launch lte 2 before anyone has it. You know sprint plan of being the first, charging everyone else more for it and than at some point you may get what your paying for.

In theory lte 2 is suppose to be 100 mbps. considering I don't live in a fios area (300mbps max now in some areas) and uverse 24mbps and time warner 35mbps are my only options I'm really interested to see how this all plays out.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Yeah, I have comcast's garbage overpriced **** 25mbps 6% uptime internet.

I hope either Fios comes out in my area or LTE-Advanced makes it's way here.
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
I vowed never to go back to windows phones
[HTC EVO 3D] kn1ghtnsh1narmr:
can I ask why? I actually loved the openness of windows mobile 6.0 to 6.5. True it wasn't as clean as the iphone and android didn't exist but it was fun. Did you have a bad experience with windows phone 7 and did so why android was better. I actually want people to talk me into staying with android. Although I'll never buy another android phone that isn't a nexus phone. I'm done with drivers and all this other bs. I was interested in the nexus s 4g for sprint but it came out too late and didn't have a dual core.
[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
I have 70mb/s through Comcast and its not over priced... Btw 70mb/s is 7MB/s
[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
Windows phones are garbage... Your in a dev site... You tell me how we can modify windows os oh and it needs to be open sourced as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Well I'm paying $110 a month for 25mbps internet and phone. No TV.

And even with a slight thunderstorm, Comcast gets an outage in the area which they take like 2 weeks to repair.

Fios has the same offer for $70 a month - 25mpbs and free voip.

Apparently Comcast pays the development people to keep fuos out of the area.

Sent from my Evo 3D on Sprint's blazing fast 3G network with 4G coverage everywhere
[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
Huh... I pay that for over 3x the speed you get
[HTC EVO 3D] kn1ghtnsh1narmr:
I'm not saying you can but what if you could overclock or underclock. In my eyes roms are there to fix what the manufacturers messed up. If we lose live backgrounds which I actually use( i bought My Beach from DualBoot which I love(along with some others from them I use during the holidays), it would suck but its something I could live without.) It all comes down to how restrictive windows phone 8 is.

I can tell you never used windows mobile 6.0 to 6.5. Before android thats what devs used. It was more open than a nexus phone but its wasn't smooth at all and the processors we got were crap. We don't know how open windows phone 8 will be but we know it will be more restrictive than windows mobile and less than windows phone 7
[HTC EVO 3D] ButtaKnife:
I would expect Sprint to finish the Network Vision plan first and stick with LTE 1 for a while, since their recent focus has been network reliability rather than speed (their words, not mine). Also, keep in mind that theoretical maximums will never be reached. WiMAX has some impressive theoretical maximums, too, but we never saw those in practice. I wouldn't expect Verizon or any other major carrier in the US to jump on the LTE 2 bandwagon any time soon, either, since the current upgrades to LTE are going to be costly and strain the backhauls already.

As for me, I'd just be happy if Sprint's network in my area could handle EVDO speeds. LTE of any variety would be a pipe dream come true.
[HTC EVO 3D] jason62082:
For future reference, 70 Mbps is 8.75 MBps. In today's computing/engineering world 1 byte = 8 bits. And also "m" represent the unit milli, where "M" represents the unit Mega. Kind of a big difference (10^9). You'll seem more credible if you use the correct form.

[HTC EVO 3D] deathspankd:
The only change I'd make is the wp7 UI on android I like the looks and I maintain Android openness. From what I read previously released wp7 phones won't receive wp8 so why would anyone want to switch to a service that doesn't support development for their previous phones. I like Microsoft os on PCs and I enjoy the xbox 360 but I'd never switch to their phones....
[HTC EVO 3D] kn1ghtnsh1narmr:
I have to admit I'm extremely spoiled when it comes to network speed. I use to help out at a pc cafe store with t1 and Ive been in an area that has had cable internet as long as it has been out. Now I'm seeing Fios get 300 mbps and Cox in some areas as 100 mbps. Now I'm stuck with att at 24 mbps and time warner at 35 mbps and I'm pissed. I need unlimited internet at high speeds. Uverse and Fios match there wireless services with caps. So I'm stuck with time warner and sprint with whatever I can get out of them. I heard people say you don't need that speed but I run a cellphone, tablet, laptop, desktop and xbox at least on my connection and if people come over and bring there stuff over that connection speed dies slower and slower0. I play games once in a while online, download movies and music and this data capping and not upgrading there networks is bs. My point was I don't know how you guys survive with these awful data speeds. These networks need to give us unlimited internet wireless and wired and it there network can't handle it, build up your network.

As a side note, cable companies are completely outgunned with it comes to speed but there servers aren't running of an OC-768(38 gbps lines) backbone like verizon and att have in some areas. sprint i think use to have a larger backbone around the country because of buyouts but lost out when att and verizon starting upgrading there networks and sprint didn't have the money.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about any of this.
[HTC EVO 3D] kn1ghtnsh1narmr:
I get what your saying. First I think openness is a must for windows phone 8. I look at windows phone 7 as a total beta though. They had no 4g, no multi core, no nfc Windows is giving windows phone 7 users 7.8 from 7.5 instead of 8 because these phones older phones don't have these things in them. Its still kind of messed up they don't get 8 but I think its the fault of whoever bought a windows phone 7 phone because there have been a lot of writing out there for a while that windows phone 8 was going out.

I have read this concern and found my own way of fixing it.

More than likely ur getting these issues because ur upgraded or didn't wipe when flashing a rom

How to fix

Back up your stuff

Perform factory reset

For locked devices go to Asus and download your current firmware.

Copy that to your internal sd card not in a specific folder.

Reboot device and let it update ur device again

This fixed my prime and my brother in laws tf101

For custom unlocked folks

Wipe all and wipe all system, data, cache, then install rom of choice and when u restore your Apps from like tiBU like me, only restore app not data
