Extreme Noob question.. if offended please look away now.............

I am currently running stock ics 4.0.3 firmware rooted with cf-kernal on my galaxy sII (i9100),

I want to go back to cm9 nightlys, i had it on previously to this rom im running now,

With all the brickbug posts floating about im paranoid at whether i could safely return to cm9 nightly or any cm9 builds.i have the bugged emmc chip as gotbrickbug v1.1 tells me but im guessing it should be fine to flash back? though wanted feedback as to whether that would be ok,

ive also had various other roms on this phone too, im sure i also had siyah kernal rc3 i think?? not ure on build but all worked fine.

would (in your opinion) flashing back to cm9 brick my phone?

Thanks in advance and please bare in mind i have read around the forum but all the info is confusing when you read multiple threads on the subject.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
Only way to get brick bug active on 4.03 if you are on that old siyah with bricking bug.

So if you are stock or cfroot for 4.03 you can use cwm data wipe, restore backup...etc. but if your backup is on 4.04 brick bug kernel your in trouble.

Hope this helps.

Thankfully i only realised it was released about 2/5 days ago so didnt bother .. Seen mulitple posts on that issue and no dont have a backup wanted fresh install
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joness:
still confused

I'm sorry to bump this thread, i tried searching but did not find a final answer.

I'm going to root my phone, and possible install CM9. But the emmc bug confuses me, i have checked with the app and it tells me i have the faulty chip. Is CWM dangerous to use? I read somewhere that you should not use CWM if you had the bug, but others again seems to use it without problems. I also read somewhere that a normal factory reset (without any root or flash) also could brick the phone, is that true? I would really appreciate some good answers on whats safe, and whats not. I will off course press the thanks button a lot! :)

The phone is stock, i have never rooted or flashed anything.

Android version: 4.0.3

Kernel: 3.0.15-I9100XWLPG-CL619441dpi@dell150 #3

Build: IML74K.XWLPG
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephraim:
The ones causing the bricks mate is the stock kernel from sammy's 4.0.4 rom with CWM. Wiping using stock recovery is okay (i tried it). If you use other kernel like siyah you will be safe. In short, Stock kernel from samsung's 4.0.4 update + CWM Recovery + Wipe = Hard brick. As long as you avoid that, you will be safe :)

Bdw, it is good that you bumped this thread rather than making a new one :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joness:
Ok, thanks! So i should change my kerner to for example siyah before my phone gets updated to 4.0.4 then?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephraim:
You could try that. Bdw, Stock kernel (sammy 4.0.3) + CWM (just like CF-Root) is safe. If you ever wanna try going to another rom and you are on a stock 4.0.4 rom, flash siyah first before doing a wipe :)

Never wipe using a stock 4.0.4 kernel + CWM recover :)

Flashed CM9 rc2 last night but couldn't get on with it so flashed resurection remix but now I notice my sd card and my internal memory are reversed! I have done multiple wipes and re-flashed rom and but still stuck with sd card as emmc and its causingproblems.

ICS binder didn't work for me, changed to differentROM wanamlite, very good, stable and fast.

Wouldn't using ext instead of internal slow things down? I have a sandisk ultra class 10

Hello everybody,

I have got a Samsung Galaxy SII with stock firmware ICS 4.0.3 which is brikkable for the emmc.

I would like to flash the Cyanogenmod 9; could it give me problems?

Before doing this, I would like to make a nandroid backup by the temporary ClockWorkMod Recovery.

If I would flash the Cyanogenmod 9, and then I would like to restore the old nandroid backup (always by using the temporary ClockWorkMod Recover) ,could it give me problems?

Thanks everybody.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boki9999:
Since you're on 4.0.3., you cant be affected by that particular brick. Only on 4.0.4. with stock kernel and those based on it.

If you backup or wipe in Cwm, there wont be any problems. After that I recommend Siyah kernel if you're gonna flash roms. ;)

Sent from my Galaxy S2 GT i9100
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabios1989:
Maybe you mean that soon after the flash of the cyanogen9 I should flash the Siyah's kernel?

Hasn't the cyanogen9 an own kernel, or there is still the stock one after the flash?

I would like to try not to increase the internal counter for the warranty..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boki9999:
Cm9 comes with its own kernel which has Cwm. From there you can flash anything you want.

The counter will stay the same unless you flash with Odin in D/L mode.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabios1989:
Do you believe that the kernel "Siyah-s2-v4.1beta6-CWM" is good for Cm9?

I wouldn't recommend Beta releases. Better flash the latest stable release.

There have been a few issues with Siyah 4.0, hence a quick beta available to 4.1. I'd suggest you use 3.4.1. Seems to work perfectly for me. You could flash 4.1 once it is out of beta.

Hey,

On HTCs Facebook page, they posted an image of the HTC One X in dark and light versions... or at least so it seems at first sight.

But if you look more closely, the phone on the right (dark one) has more edges than the real One X on the left. Also the speaker looks differently than anything I have seen so far.

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...set=a.477210308083.252809.101063233083&type=1

I love the looks of it and would really consider buying this phone... if it really exists. Anybody any information about this?

Or is it just some international version of the One X(L)?

Thanks in advance. :good:

I recently flashed the snapdragon extreme sound enhancer mod, and I don't see where it took effect at all.. maybe it didn't do right or I'm missing something, but I have a horrible time in phone calls lol. Echo and a tank sound.. read the thread and its a known bug, but I want it off.. any way I can "unflash" this without wiping everything? I mean I can wipe and reflash cleanrom and all that, but I'd rather not go through the titanium restore process if I don't have to!!!! I searched but there's no clear answer.. only guys that help get the mod to work. I just want it OFF lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stnguyen09:
You probably don't need to do a wipe. Just wipe dalvik and cache and then dirty flash CleanROM on top of it. As always though, make sure you make a backup just in case!

I have my lockscreen set up with missed it for any notifications for missed calls, sms etc. The issue is with GoSMS pop ups, I want to keep them enabled so that i can quick reply when in other apps. However, I do not want pop ups to appear on my widgetlocker lock screen.

I ticked Hide sms pop ups to rectify this but this not only seems to block the pop up but also blocks the notification such that missed it doesn't recognise any unread messages.

If i disable pop ups in GoSMS, missed it! displays unread message count in the lockscreen. Is there any way around this issue?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opiuz:
sup everybody.

firstly, i am a wireless expert (11+ years experience) so im not a nuubie to Wireless networks.

but i am new to Android and have just recently gotten an S3, so im hoping some body can help me.

i have an 802.11n wireless hop that connects my upstairs network to my downstairs network (internet router is downstairs)

upstairs i have an 802.11b/g access point for the older devices to connect to, this access point is connected to my 802.11n bridge

my laptop connects to the 802.11b/g network fine, and has internet connectivity (no issues)

when i first got the S3 last night, it was connecting fine as well, but since this morning, no matter what i do, the S3 connects to the access point, gets DHCP, i can ping the IP address, but it doesnt have net access, but if i connect to the 802.11n network it gets net access.:confused:

so for the life of me i cant figure out why.

so in a nutshell net access works from the laptop, but not the S3, same access point, and yes ive checked the WPA2 passkey, and the device is getting DHCP.

any suggestions.

like how to reset the IP address on the S3

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Sounds like the default gateway route is not correctly received or activated. Do you have any computer/laptop with a promiscuous-capable Wifi card around that you might use with Wireshark? It should tell what exactly goes wrong.

Since you claim to be a Wifi expert I guess you won't need much help interpreting the result.

Are you sure the password is correct? Sounds stupid but well...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
- check the ip address.

- from device, ping its default gateway

- from device, ping external ip address that is known to response to ping

if all those works but you can't ping www.yahoo.com, it is resolver issue.

if all those including pinging yahoo works, and you still have no access, then the apps has issue or there is firewall.

I comeback to my carrierand Ancel take my old phone and give me a new S3 (1 day old).

For 2 days, it go well, butin the final of the second day, No wireless or 3g connect, the same again.

It´s a |Firmware problem, ahardware damage, what suppose I have to do ???

This technique works for me but only like a temporary solution. Restarting the home router also works for me but again is temporary. This issue I think is with most galaxy s3 devices. I own a galaxy tab 10.1 and it's there in it as well. huge pain to check each time, critical notifications are always missed.

In wifi it shows Conected in calennetwork, after this it show internet not avaliable via selected wlan ap. It can´t navigate.

In my router page , the received packets always change, for more data and the sent packets never change.

In the avanced configuration what is the Network prefix lenght ? In my XT860 and N97 i always select the channel of the router, but in the galaxy a don´t have this option.

But the strange, is that in the 2 galaxy s3 in the first day work im my router, and then after some hours it´s crash and not navigate...

Very bad Samsung.

I´m thincking in change my S3 for a S2 or Lumia.

I´m disapointed for it, because if i change the Firmware version i lost the warranty and i have bad feeling about this isues... Is a hardware fault or a software bug ???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
The hardware sounds fine, I'd guess software issue.

You only lose warranty if you bring it to a store without original Rom. Just use the normal procedure (TriangleAway, Odin, Factoryreset) to get it back to stock and you're good to go. If your device has issues preventing it from booting (so you cannot re-flash original) they can't check the binary counter either :angel:

Anyone with this issue, please try the following:

Since CM9 is not based on Samsung-software, that should answer the question about it being an issue in the newer Rom once and for all.

I've had my S3 for just over a week and had no problems with the WiFi but this morning when I woke up suddenly it isn't working. It's appearing as connected but when I check there is no IP address being issued. I don't want to install another ROM as I don't want to risk voiding my warranty. I have reset my router and am not having issues connecting other devices to the wifi network, just the S3. I'm backing up my data as we speak so I can try a factory reset. I'm also going to try setting a static IP address and using Google DNS. Will report back once I've done those things.

EDIT: So I was able to set a static IP address using WiFi Manager and I also used Google's DNS servers and wifi now works again. Not an ideal solution but I will troubleshoot it further and see if I can find what suddenly caused this to happen.
