Well I have had 2 topics deleted with several posts. All I wanted to do is get to 10 posts so I can post in dev sections. After the second time I received a "Final Warning" when I never received a first warning. Hence I am following the warnjng and posting a question in this section as per mod advice. If it gets deleted too then I think too much power is in mods hands here.

Ok rant over, question... "is this common occurance on these forums, getting no warnings, just a mod regieme (spelling) that does not explain where you messed up, or perhaps explain why your legitimate questions were deleted...?"

:( Sigh, so i'm back again, 2nd time messing up my phone in 3 weeks......This time its going to cost me if I don't get an answer. I bricked my phone, i tried everything, and I mean everything, and it just won't finish flashing via Odin "pc" and I can't my mac to find the Pit files because of Stupid Kies.

Anyway, what did I do again? well i flashed the abyss kernel and then immediately via CWM tried to restore my Criskelo ROM and it would not get past the boot up screen, "the one before the animation" ....i wiped cache, tried restoring my stock Rom, tried wiping dalvick cache, you name it. None of that work, the only thing i could get into at the time was CWM and Odin mode "download mode".....I continued to try to figure it out for my self, and tried repeatedly to flash via odin.....back to a stock rom and i screwed up so much more now because of that. I can't get into clockworkmod anymore....i can't get into recovery, NONE OF THAT ....Only thing i see when i put on my phone is "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." ...I can get into Odin mode, but NOTHING ELSE. PLEASE SOMEONE HELPPPPP ME!. I don't know what I am going to do if i don't back my phone.

btw, if you wanted to know how far I got in the whole flashing via Odin.

When you download a kernel it's in 2 type one type is for flash with cwm and once for Odin if be zip is for cwm if be in tar extension is for Odin for Odin you should download tar and don't extract it. Just put it in pda section and finish

If the kernel is a zip file I would use SGS Kernel flasher app (on Google Play).

It backs up your current kernel before flashing.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mercado79:
Don't usually do this, but figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to bump this post up. Hopefully another dev can dig into this and fix the /data/media backup issue. It looks like it's simply a configuration issue in the config file, but I'm not sure how to fix it since the TWRP instructions suggest creating a CM9 repo and then using some of the files (built for CWM) when building a TWRP recovery from source.

How the heck did the dev on Rootzwiki do this if no CM9 source exists for our phones yet? Magic, obviously.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intercrew:
Hey guys, I've been planning on upgrading my phone which is literally like 6 years old some lg slider type of phone for texting.

I was planning on getting the S2 (international since I'm in Canada) even after knowing the release of S3. One reason was to save money $0 for S2 and 150 for S3 on a 3 year contract. But the main reason was the hardware, I know the cpu is pretty on par with the international exynos quad core but the gpu seems to fall short right? Not to mention they took out the Wolfson sound chip which I was really anticipated on since I rather just use my phone as a multimedia player than buying for example a cowon mp3 player.

The thing thats really holding me back is I guess the gpu. I own an ipod touch and never in the world did I think would be playing games on such a small device but nevertheless, it kills time pretty quickly and keeps me from being bored throughout the day or at work.

I just wanted to know if anyone who has the American variant of the S3, are the current games graphically looking and fluidity decent enough even though it uses a Adreno 225? Is it worth getting the S3 with the Adreno 225 than the S2 with mali400? Just curious if the Adreno 225 performs better than the S2's mali400.

If not, I'll probably just stick to getting the S2 and maybe wait to import the international or just wait it out for the next "S4" or the next "big" thing aside from apple's iphone :P.

Thanks guys!

Try to get an S2 off-contract it's gonna save you some cash because you won't be stuck in a 50$ contract and you can change phone anytime. I got mine brand new for 450$ in January you can find some for 300$ now. I tried the S3 and it's now big of an upgrade. It's up to you if you :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intercrew:
I always, wondered what kind of plan people would get with a bought outright phone? Like in canada the texting plans are 20-30 with no caller id/voice msg. And to get that is like another 15 dollars, and if you want data atleast another $10 for 100mb or so. In the end won't it be the same price as the normal $50 ish plans????

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stinkynoon:
Is it confirmed that the Wolfson sound chip isn't in the US variants of the S3? For some reason I thought it was still there. I asked supercurio of he was going to work on the At&t version, and he said he hadn't decided.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Intercrew:
theres a bunch of threads out there backing up that the american variant doesn't have wolfson. Would have been beast if it did tho.

Thanks guys, think I'll go with the S3. Will miss the old candy rectangular shape phones tho lol.

Out of curiosity, why do people buy their phones outright? I mean even after buying it and getting the right to choose any kind of plan for the phone, won't it eventually end up to the normal price of $50. Since most texting plans are 20-30 and doesn't come with caller id/voice msg or even data and to get all those will be another 20-30. So it'll eventually end up to the normal $50 plans O_O

It's a shame that america has the worst mobile plans.. so expensive compared to other countries, especially korea or japan. Luckily they have free wifi literally anywhere you go so data isn't really necessary but their plans are actually good. I mean who the f*** made it so we have to pay for caller id, that shows up on our normal house phones without any extra charges lol..

thanks again :)

[Motorola Droid X2] SoCoolAZ:
My participation in this forum saved my ars on some weird behavior my rooted x2 had been exhibiting lately. update: Nandroid backup saved me. Now, after a few days my phone is bugging me to OTA upgrade to 2.3.4. I see that this gingerbread has considerable benefit on ye ole ROM front.

Can someone help me out with a step-by-step upgrade on my rooted device? Do I need to unroot first? I have to admit to an unroot prior to my problems. Something with an app I need to get upgrade. Thanks in advance for the help.

:confused:
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
If you want to apply the ota, grab ota rootkeeper from the market. Open the app, save root, then go to town updating. No need to unroot. Once updated, open the app again and hit restore root, as the ota will remove root.

That's pretty much it. As it stands that is the only way to get root on the latest ota so if for some reason you run into an issue and lose root, you will have to sbf back to 2.3.4.
[Motorola Droid X2] SlimMan:
I'm sorry but are you on pre 2.3.4 on your X2? If so why haven't you had to update before now? Just curious.

[Motorola Droid X2] trter10:
Have you modified the system
[Motorola Droid X2] SlimMan:
For updating to the latest release you can't have changed any of the system files (ie frozen), and if you are rooted it's best to do a temp unroot (with a Voodoo backup of course) and make sure you boot into the Stock Recovery and attempt to flash that way. Should go without saying that you have to be on the stock rom.

GL!
[Motorola Droid X2] SoCoolAZ:
Slim, i have ignored the OTA upgrade notification for 9 months. If its not broken, dont fix it theory. I had tweaked the phone with root only so that i could barnacle my tablet to the internet. Since i just saw how easily i recovered my phone back to my last nandroid backup, i figured i would try to upgrade and ROM this thing as it seems ive gotten it this far. Can someone link me to an easy to follow, step by step on "flashing stock recovery mode"? I can unfreeze programs with titanium backup and then unroot with ota rootkeeper. Just lrt me know how to stock recover, ie: phone plugged in? Unzipped file locations? External or internal sd card? I appreciate the help.
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:

try unrooting with rootkeeper (keeps backup) like slimman suggested

a little surprised, that you made it 9 months and phone didn't try to install overnight after several notices

I know that has happened with other moto phones like D2 and D2G
[Motorola Droid X2] freakboy13:
Guys root has nothing to do with not being able to receive ota.

Nothing.

Lol

It sounds to me like you need to sbf back 2.3.4

Make sure your phone is fully charged.

Do you have usb debugging enabled?

Forget about guessing games, sbf back to 2.3.4.

Root your phone via Pete's. Do not use zerg.

Install recovery

Install superuser etc. If you feel the need but Pete's su. Works fine.

Install voodoo rootkeeper.

Make the back up.

Again with these phones root has NOTHING to do with receiving or not receiving ota.

If your ota is borked there's somthing else going on. You must have removed (bad idea) or froze something

Just sbf and follow my instructions again.

Hope that helps.

As I said in my guide, all updates were done with root, and I went from2.3.3>2.3.4>2.3.5

All rooted each time all retained root via rootkeeper.

Hope that helps
