I think from the OP's words it seems that he already has gs2 drivers in his PC.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxnubee:
stuck download mode

hi just a thought have you got kies installed? and also do not have it running at the same time as odin its only needed for driver support as you may or may not know.

also as previous posts suggest you haven't totally bricked your phone so should be sound to restore.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saravanashines:
I think u had unchecked ur debugging mode....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exynoss:
It seems Mr. OP forget to check this thread after started. So folks no need to give solutions.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damnation333:
Hey guys,

I had had the drivers installed. Just installed KIES aswell, but it didn't make a difference.

I can't go into CWM anymore. The only thing I can manage is the download mode, but I can't get ODIN to connect with the phone.

The cable I am using is not the original one, but a multicable (plugs for all kinds of USBs, iPhone, phones). Is it possible this is the reason?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damnation333:
- Odin is automatically started as admin on my PC

- KIES hadn't been installed before (but the drivers). Also installed KIES now and it is not running in the background

- tried all 3 USB ports

- only have this one cable here in Crete... can't try another yet

- will try now

- will try now

Thanks guys!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
Lol, I'm lazy, and you always give sound advice. Why fix what ain't broken, eh?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damnation333:
Hey everybody,

just got it sorted.

Bought a new cable and now ODIN can connect without trouble. What did we learn from this: never use one of those multicables for flashing etc. They won't work.

Btw my friend tried to use the same cable for his iPhone and it wasn't able to connect either to iTunes. Just charging worked!

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi ..

I have just finished up setting my first Android SGSIII phone.. Now I want some info from my Google account and so not, like I want my calender events from my online Gmail account but not contacts, Picasa pictures.. How can I select what I want and what I not from my google account if I configure one on my Android..

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theonlyanil:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elcom:
Go into settings

Accounts and sync

Click on the google account

Select what info you want to be synced on your phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicesoni_ash:
Great.. that worked but how to remove or delete what I already got in my phone like contacts from Gmail and Picasa album pics.. and is there a way to keep certain albums in my phone from Picasa and some not.. coz not all are useful for me..

Thanks once again.. +1 added.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan2305:
You cannot specify albums you want to keep on the device like that using your Android Device. All your picasa albums will be available to you. However, if there is a way, then it would be through the website using each albums' permissions.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3rm3y:
I have recently brought a xoom (wifi).

it has eos ics rom pre installed.

i cant format the memory card in CWM - was that because i was trying to format the internal mem card? if so how do i format the external sd card? (i read somewhere that i can do it in my phone?)

i was looking at GEDing my xoom, and just using the officiual updates... can i just jump straight in with that as i assume all the unlocking and rooting has been done to get ICS on it?

i use a cyanogenmod rom on my phone, because its been tweaked and is faster etc then the official roms will i be better with a user rom over GED if i choose a stable build?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Use your phone to format external sd.

Flash EOS Jellybean nightly and the newest Gapps...you will be very happy.

CM is a WIP on the Xoom, imho, EOS is the way to go.

Forget the OTAs...custom roms rule!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bux1982:
As far as the root thingy...

Yes, if you have the EOS ICS installed then it got rooted somewhat before.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3rm3y:
Thanks guys. Been having a play around over weekend. The SD card was a bugger, formatted or wiped it with the tablet then it wouldn't show up. Didn't have another device which recornised it. Took ages but got there...

I have noticed that my 720p blu ray rips look grainy. They are 1200x576 ish but don't look too nice (thru mx player) what do you guys use? How can I make them look nicer? They are about 800mb .mp4 so look nice on PC or TV via Xbox. Just not on xoom???
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStickMan:
Those aren't proper blu ray quality files. 800MB is barely a good DVD quality.

Your TV is far away, and Xoom close to face - that's why you can see a huge difference in quality.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bux1982:
Like the stickman said, 800MB is nowehre near Blue-Ray quality.

Right around 700 is a standard DVD rip to fit it on CD.

Blue-Ray rips are normaly around 1,5GB up to around 4,5GB.

And he´s right with the range factor. Your Xoom has a pretty high resolution and it sits right in front of you.

At 2,5-3 meters to your tv, you just dont see the fractures, but trust me, they are there.

Get higher quality file and try again. MX player is not bad and definately capable of putting out amazing quality vids
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3rm3y:
Brilliant,thanks, will try a bigger file, i never considered that since they looked so good on tv.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3rm3y:
ok, so i have quickly downloaded a 1.5gig 720 rip to test(downloading is quicker then ripping on my pc) :) , the picture quality looks much better. though it has 2 audio tracks - track 1 is hindu and track 2 is english, the file wont play english, i even used a merge programe to merge the video file with the english audio (in effect removing the hindu language) but this doesnt play any audio on the tablet, but it is there on my pc, any thoughts? how to correct so works on tablet?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THpubs:
Sammobile (sammobile.com) say that they have the original Firmware for Samsung products. Is this true? Can we install the Samsung OpenSource firmware directly : opensource.samsung.com ?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moxlon69:
I can't comment on sammobile.com as I've never visited there, but as far as opensource.samsung.com it should only be the open source linux kernel source for your android device (in this case, the tablet). I've downloaded the source for several kernels from there, but as source, it's not really useable to most people unless they are developers.

[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Also, cogeary, being awesome as usual, and was able to test it (after I bricked and was unable to), and he provided some good info...Btw, thank you, cogeary!

We are still working out the details, and if all goes well, the dev said that he will open it up to our device on the Play Store.

EDIT: whirleyes just pm'd me back, he said he will help out when he has some free time... Until then, keep up the good work, lukensteinz! Thanks for testing..
[Motorola Atrix 2] whirleyes:
I'll help as much as I can..

Since I was building this for Razr only, I have stripped a lot of unused CWM function.

1.To save space (GSM Razr /preintstall size is 8MB)

2.Safety.Everything related to format is remove & replace with "rm -r"

2.Set Internal storage as default location (/emmc)

3.A lot more.. compare the source code to digg more about this

So to make backup work, you need to tweak

/preinstall/bootmenu/config/stock.recovery.fstab

/preinstall/bootmenu/config/second.recovery.fstab

Razr default

/sdcard vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1	/dev/block/mmcblk0
/emmc vfat /dev/block/emstorage

workaround : remove /sdcard & /emmc entry. Then add

/emmc vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1	/dev/block/mmcblk0

*** I know nothing about a2.. Is the bootloader is locked as hard as Razr??
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
I'm not sure of how hard the Razr is locked down. But our bootloader has been compared to Fort Knox ;)

Thanks a lot for working on the BootMenu and helping us get it to work!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ajfink:
Yes / more.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Hey whirleyes,

I can get you all of our partition layout if want. I did some work on our version of safstrap, that hascode let me hack to get working on our phone, so I am pretty familiar with a lot of that. If you want I can even give it to you in the fstab format, just let me know.

Our bootloader is locked down about as much or more than the razr, and after flahsing our ICS leak, we can no longer FXZ back. Due to a new check in the mbm.bin that is flashed as part of the ICS leak.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Sorry for the dumb question... but what exactly does this mean for us.... from what I'm understanding is that you can boot in to cwm from boot even if your phone is soft bricked (like stock recovery).
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Yes. It's sort of like a new version of cwm recovery on boot with more options and features (the original j.y.daddy's is no longer compatible with ICS). So, if you are bootlooping you could, in theory, just pull the battery, replace it, then it will boot into recovery mode (this one actually gives you the option to tap the screen to enter recovery on startup, or don't touch it to proceed with normal booting).

With cwm on boot working for ICS, then we can really get some ROM's and mods tested and released without fear of needing to fxz... obviously, it does not help us with the current, and more significant fxz from 4.0.4 issue - that is also being looked into and worked out, or worked around...

I, for one, am very excited and optimistic about all of this... we should have some great tools and toys for everybody by the time the official ICS gets released. And, Jim, as always, deserves a lot of credit for any of our advances..

[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:

[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Looks like it's close already... and somewhat functional as is. You can see from the previous posts that we got whirleyes (the app's dev from the razr forums) on board... and Jim's on the case also, so, I don't know, I think it's just a matter of tweaking, testing, and time..
[Motorola Atrix 2] whirleyes:
I've got boot & recovery partition from lukensteinz.

LOL, ramdisk is almost identical to Razr, some of the binary like adbd & init has the same sha1sum like razr.

Can somebody make a private social group to discuss this in detail http://xdaforums.com/group.php

maybe invite only group for tester.

[Motorola Atrix 2] lukensteinz:
Weird timing. I just did the same.

Side note: I've been back and forth from ics to 2.3.6 many times already, I'm doubting I could hard brick this phone.

Am editing a few things atm to see what happens.

Yeah me too, we are still looking into this... here, I am sending you a Pm with how to jump on with the rest of us devs.... we are on IRC...
[Motorola Atrix 2] lukensteinz:
Well, full backup + restore worked with the fstab changes.

We'll be good to go soon.

Haven't yet tested 2nd-system or 2nd-init options. App seems to work well and all options work.

So far so good.

Looks like we'll be able to recover from soft bricks as long as /system isn't completely trashed and /preinstall is intact.

Not trying to be a bother.... but is there a status update on this?

Trust me man. The community will be the first to learn of any fixes. They need to make sure that their fix is safe and useable for everyone. So until then...

Patience.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yes we made some great progress with this over the weekend and whirleye will get his updates into the app, that lukensteinz has worked on and the rest of us have tested, very soon.
[Motorola Atrix 2] nephillim:
Awesome!!!! Thanks Jim!!!

(And yes, I know the Community will always be kept up to date on these things.... however the thread was dropped to the second page and was a little quiet.... thought I'd bump it back up for us ICS jumpers)
[Motorola Atrix 2] lukensteinz:
It won't be much longer until it is released. There are a couple of things I really want to check with rdavisct, which is a little hard with timezone differences.

And I would like to try and refine whirleyes documentation too.

My XPS shutdowns randomly after flashing to ICS. I had also rooted my phone with Locked bootloader But due to the problem faced by me i re-flashed with the stock ICS firmware but my phone still shutdowns randomly....

While shutting down It displays Android System and a dialog box which says shutting down please help......

To be precise:

My phone vibrates and turns off. In this days i realized that before vibrates it shows "Android System" and "Shutting down" dialog . that is not cause of battery low. it happened with 70%, 100% battery as well.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Midnight Tboy:
Hi all,

I have a Nexus 7, rooted, running stock 4.1.1 rom, and just installed TWRP 2.1.1

I have been reading this thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1779092 , however I cannot post on the thread due to being a new/low post count member.

I read that, and it does happen, that each time I reboot, the stock recovery reinstalls itself.

I attempted to follow this....

but it doesn't seem to work.

Firstly, when I go to the "Mount" menu, there is only 3 entries.....1 large button which says "Mount USB Storage", and 2 boxes which are selected with a cross in the box, "Unmount Data", and "Unmount Cache". If I do press Mount USB Storage I can only Unmount it to return to menu.

So regardless of that part, if I then go to the file manager, and browse to the system folder, the folder shows up empty, and the only thing showing is a Bin subfolder (also empty)

any ideas whats wrong?

Use the one-click root tool. Install TWRP via GooManager. Profit.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Midnight Tboy:
hi,

yeah I did use the tool, all is rooted fine. If you install TWRP from GooManager, and then press to reset to recovery, TWRP loads fine. Once you reboot again however, the stock roms overwriting the TWRP so it no longer works each time. The steps there were supposedly to stop this from happening, from within TWRP, however the options aren't even there. Sadly, I can't post in the TWRP thread due to having less than 10 posts
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pathtologos:
How r u booting into recovery? Do u power off then use button combo? I use quickboot from market. Its free and boots u into recovery without having to manually turn off the device. I had the same exact issue u drescribe when attempting to follow op instructions. I couldn't do it so I said what the hell, let me see if I boot into recovery using quickboot it overwrites. I was happy to discover that it didn't.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Midnight Tboy:
Hi.

I booted into recovery directly from the GooManager option which restarts it into it for me. After a reboot though choosing the same option gives the official recovery I presume (android robot with chest open and exclamation mark)....until I tell it to install the OpenRecoveryScript again

I'm not familiar with Quickboot - take it its just a button to press to get it into recovery the same way as the GooManager option of "Reboot Recovery"?

I'm looking at this TeamEOS nightly build at the moment, toying with the idea of whether to stick with stock rom or flash their custom rom over it.....hard call as its still early days for the roms I think, but if spend ages again installing my apps, will have to do it again afresh when do eventually change the rom
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pathtologos:
Yes quickboot is as u describe. I know what u mean about starting to flash. It's a bit early for me considering conditions of the roms ( early stages). I am getting tempted tho...lol. won't be long I'm sure.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Midnight Tboy:
yup....just installed Quick Boot (Reboot),

chose Recovery, and again its rebooting back to the original recovery instead of the TWRP.

Guess I'll have to flash to a custom rom to get around it if want it sorting now....or wait till I have the minimum post count to post on the main TWRP thread :)

Not end of the world to reinstall apps and games I guess when the custom roms are more mature, so long as I remember to use Titanium Backup to save my games progress
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luxferro:
you need to rename the recovery-restore.sh file in /system/etc/ (I forget the name offhand - if you look at the filenames there you'll figure it out). It restores the stock recovery at every reboot unless deleted or renamed. Then flash your 3rd party recovery.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Midnight Tboy:
Hi,

thats the trouble.....I use the file manager in TWRP, and I can't see that file anywhere.
