[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholas1520:
Once you get a working CWM, let's say you're using Cyanogenmod 9 and you want to flash over the stock kernel.

You'd put the kernel file on the memory of the device (sdcard) and boot in CWM recover and flash from there and you won't get the triangle.

The triangle won't go away now if you unless you use a USB jig or the triangle away app. So get rid of the triangle now and when you want to try a new kernel flash it through CWM and the triangle won't appear. Flash a kernel through download mode and you'll get the triangle.

After going through FAQ i succesfully rooted my s2 for the first time since im new to andorid and been an iphone user for 3 years.

I'm loving my s2 so far and want to flash custom rom can some one pls tell me how fixing permission works when flashing new rom is it the same on all custom roms for galaxy s2?

I want to flash the latest resurrection remix and want to know what to do when i get to the fixing permission section like how im gona be prmoted to enter the letters.....I read FAQ but need more pls

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholas1520:
Fixing permissions is automatic I believe in CWM recovery. It's an option in the recovery menu. Remember to wipe data and cache (dalvik too) when flashing a next rom or else you won't be able to boot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Force F:
Thanks for the info mate
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
By the way, you should really just buy a USB Jig off eBay for a few quid, it resets the custom binary counter (on old bootloaders) and can also force your phone into download mode after a bad flash. Handy to have around. Also, now that you have rooted your phone, download EFS Pro (found here on XDA) and back up your EFS folder before any flashing. Lose this folder and your in serious trouble!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feden84:
Hi! When rooting or flashing a custom rom or kernel, do I lose internal sd card content?

Where is the EFS folder I need to backup?

Thanks!

I was wondering if there is any other threads that explain porting, I've read through the one in the bible and it seems outdated and looks like no one had any luck with it. Many comments state that op is missing something. And yes I Googled it and all results lead to the bible. I have pm erikmm asking for help since he is the porting god but got no response, not sure if he is getting my messages or if he simply does not care for me, anyway the rom I would like to get ported is based off of AOKP its like Aokp ++. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm trying to install Clockwork MOD 5.0.2.0 so I can partition my SD card. I've tried using ROM Manager and even though it says it's successfully updated to 5.0.2.0, when I go into ClockWork MOD by pressing Vol Down and Power button it's still the old version (2.3.x.x can't remember exactly).

I've tried installing using the Fastboot way with the command 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' but it says the signature check failed:

sending 'recovery' (3054 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.445s]

writing 'recovery'...

(bootloader) signature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

http://4ext.net/

Download the 4ext recovery updater app and flash 4ext recovery from within the app. 4ext is the best recovery and is better and safer at partition ur sdcard coz CMW has been known to make bad partitions

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
1. uninstall rom manager as has been known to cause trouble for this phone

2. you need s-off first before you can flash a different recovery (which is the reason why your fastboot flash recovery command failed). once you are s-off, I'd also recommend 4ext recovery, install as directed above.

3. noticed you're also in the MW oxygen thread? once s-off, a bigger advantage would be to change to cm7r2 hboot to gain more space.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elrasho:
That can't be right, the whole idea behind a2sd is that you can move ANY app to SD
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
I believe there's a bit of misunderstanding going on here.

but first, we need to confirm what rom / a2sd script you're using. assuming you're on MW oxygen because i've seen you post in that thread, the instructions for enabling sd-ext are in the first post (and repeated nearly every page)

the 'move to sd' moves part of the app to FAT32 partition of sd card (old style froyo available without rooting), which renders the partition you've just created useless. you need to use the 'move to sd-ext' option, and enable it by default when installing apps. you can't move system apps by default (can sometimes be forced by apps like titanium, but may not work)

further reading here, slightly outdated and some bits not relevant, but the principles are the same. you can also read up on partition tables and why you would gain by flashing a different one.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elrasho:
I was using that MildWild one but it sucked too much battery. I'm now using this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=957291

I downloaded the a2sd version too but it still doesn't work :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
don't know that rom, have a search in its thread. also read of the guide i posted previously

regardless of which rom you choose diskusage app is brilliant for browsing your partitions to check they're working

MW oxygen battery life is fine. I re-read your post.

you say "Too much power being used on the phone and screen considering I'm not actually doing anything", yet the screenshot reports 38 min call and just over an hour screen on time.

I'd say that's not excessive battery drain, but just battery use...or using the phone. I don't know if you're expecting your gauge to still read 100% after that.;)

Just guessing, though it may use more if call was on 3g and/or perhaps weak signal. I also don't know what you were doing the hour screen was on or its brightness. Critically the battery could just be old too.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elrasho:
To get sd-ex working I installed MildWild Final 4.3 and apps are storing on the sd-ex partition. I have 85MB free internal RAM after a clean install, does that sound right?

As for the battery usage. I had 100% this morning, I went onto youtube for about 5 minutes and the usage went down to 98% as I expected. However since then the phone has been left idle with the screen off and the battery has gone down to 94%?? I don't understand what's eating the battery???

what hboot r ya using?

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
after a clean install that sounds too low, don't think you read my previous advice about using cm7r2 hboot (read up on partition tables), or installing diskusage to check your partitions.

i don't know how long you left it idle...

if you're still paranoid, try betterbatterystats to see if anything is keeping it in partial wakelock

the post you quoted is also just a case of using the phone, not excessive battery drain imo.

lastly, no point in using this thread anymore as the original query is solved (can edit the title to [SOLVED])

this basically means you are still on stock hboot.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elrasho:
I downloaded the alpha_bravospl and followed these instructions:

1) Nandroid backup in recovery.

2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table.

3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)

4) 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'

5) 'fastboot erase cache'

6) Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore.

It still showing as version 6.93.1002 with -revolutionary- in the title
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elrasho:
I downloaded the wrong image file! I've got bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img and now the HBOOT screen shows is running cm7r2, it's showing my HBOOT version as 6.93.1002 is that right? I also now have 255MB free internal memory and can moves to sd-ext :)

So I take it it's all working now?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
yh it will always say hboot 6.93.1002 dont worry. its whats in pink that matters. little tip for ya, go to the mildwild oxygen rom on ur computer and click on the wee paper clip at the end and download the dalvik2sd.zip and flash that zip file in recovery n ul get more internal memory :)

Quick question. I was online paying my bill this morning, and I saw a link under my device that was labeled Sim Unlock. I clicked the link and it gave me a pin and unblock code. Is there anywhere on the device, possibly in the settings that would allow me to put this code in for unlocking the SIM slot?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daniel644:
I was under the impression these were SIM unlocked from the factory.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mobzter:
i believe if u place another network Sim card in the phone ull have the option to enter the unlock code.. guess u can just put one in now n see what pops up..

hope it helps!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 1234567188:
I was under the impression that it was a reset in case someone accidently got locked out of there sim and was not to enable other carriers (could be wrong however)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidxrooting:
That sim unlocking is you security pin and puk codes if you have password on your sim card/4G sim. It has nothing to do with global /gsm Sims.

Im sure you can re-unlock the bootloader, as long as you dont do it to many times as it may cause failure in your phone

but before you re-lock your bootloader first think if your going to wanna install custom ROM's because ROMS are mostly updating and our really good (1000x better than stock!)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] upstandingcitizen:
TO CLARIFY: Im not looking for great deals, im looking for a solid, higher end adapter.

I bought a cheap one from amazon a while back, but it was so poorly made that it didn't even fit my Nexus- plastic was extruding through the micro USB plug.

Pretty straightforward, post any recommendations for an N7 USB OTG cable.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] movieaddict:
I'm with him..I need, one to!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] iixiom:
I bought a pair of these a month ago (one to use for my Galaxy Nexus, and one for my N7 when it was released)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FUNYSA/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

They are fairly cheap, but they feel just like your average usb cable. I like the fact that the micro usb portion is as an angle which allows devices to be standing up in portrait mode.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] upstandingcitizen:
Lol that's the exact one I got a few months ago.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] iixiom:
So what you're saying is...i should just go ahead and order some new ones. lol
[Nexus 7 Accessories] upstandingcitizen:
Well, mine came with a small amount of plastic coming from the slits in the micro USB input. It also did not fit my gnex, so we tried to cut it, and mangled it beyond repair lol.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] upstandingcitizen:
I was thinking about an otg adapter that has no cable, but is more of a mount. It's hard to explain. I picture something akin to a plugin- one end is a male micro USB plug, and the other is the female USB 2.0 input.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] FrayAdjacent:
Just ordered two of those. I have a GN, and would love to be able to quickly whip out a cable like this, with my SD card reader and back up photos from my camera without involving my computer.

What app do you guys end up using for moving files and such around?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] iixiom:
I mainly use ES File Explorer. Works fairly well and doesn't crash on large files.

Mine seems to work ok. Perhaps you got a botched cable? The actual connection tip of the micro usb section is a tad longer, but it still works on my galaxy nexus with no issues.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] ejkeebler:
now that its been confirmed stickmount will play directly off a flash drive, does speed matter when considering a flash drive for this sole purpose? is a micro SD card fast enough? i'd like to get a 64GB drive/card that's only purpose is use with this tablet.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] rmm200:
Micro or standard SD has nothing to do with it. Class 10 cards are designed for fast large file transfer like movies or pictures.

I do think you may get better performance out of a flash memory stick, in addition to not needing a SD card reader. SD speeds can be limiting. Real data would be interesting.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ejkeebler:
That's what I was asking, should i stick with a thumb drive, or can i get an SD card, I guess i'll stick with a thumb drive, If speed won't matter too much i might get a slow 64gb, if it does maybe i'll stick with 32, thoughts?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] r4d14n7:
Don't take my word as Gospel, but I'm sure if you're streaming, a slower one would probably work fine. If you're looking to transfer, faster is, well, faster (depending on the write speed of N7's internal memory). Might do some research when I'm not on the phone.

Planning on testing movie streaming through OTG on a cheapo thumb drive but I don't anticipate any problems.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] barthie:

What I mean by that is something like this:

This was a TV-Out cable I bought for my HTC Inredible, and it supported charging the device while also using the cable. Are there any USB OTG's that support charging and mounting a drive?

The idea is that I'm going to build a custom dash mount for my Nexus 7 in my car and I would like to charge it at the same time that I plug USB Thumb drives into it (mainly for music).

Motorola is the Best I've Found

All the ones I've tried tend to sit either somewhat loose or extremely loose in the connectors on both my 1st gen Nexus 7 and my 2nd gen Nexus 7 -- loose enough that movement causes connection to be lost.

Then I found a pricier but beefier looking cable on eBay, the Motorola Camera Connection Kit (search for "Motorola Camera Connection Kit for Xoom Xyboard" on eBay or Amazon). I took a chance and ordered one off of eBay. I was relieved when I received a genuine Motorola product that made a very solid connection in the ports of both my Nexuses. And given how I tend to misplace OTG cables I ordered a second Motorola adapter and have been pleased with that one as well. You shouldn't have to pay more than $8 if you search hard enough.
