Yeah I'm used to having to flash new firmware, flashing cwm again then new Rom.that was on my old sensation. But thanks I will tell him to update to gingerbread via kies.then I will flash a custom kernel via Odin then just update to cm9

Okay so he just upgraded to 2.3.5 so am I going to need to install boot loader as well? or am I just going to use the one click tool
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takeoutttt:
If he is on 2.3.5 GB already, root the phone and flash a corn kernel so he will have a working CWM :cowboy:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
If he has kk4 gb 2.3.5, then he has the gb bootloaders. So all u need is to flash a kernel with cwm and then the Rom of ur choice copied to ur internal sd and u will be good to go. So see this... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19425513&postcount=1
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacTheRipperr:
So even though they are gingerbread boot loaders, I can still flash an ics Rom?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
^ Yep... And each Rom should have it's own install instructions and requirements in their OP as well.

(hit thx button by accident, but oh well ;) ... )
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1batt1:
Yes GB bootloaders are the requirement and are even backwards compatible. You should be able to install anything from Eclair to Jelly Bean now without problem. But as the previous response states make sure you follow the directions for whatever rom you are using so you are less likely to run into issues.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murattsn:
Hey guys,

My phone was blocked with Orange France. Newly I got my unlock code from Orange by email. I tried it, but I always get "network unlock code unsuccessful" message. Before trying the original unlock code, I had tried 2-3 times another codes. As I understood from some blogs my phone is frozen even it does not show like this:

I formatted phone, but it did not work still. I searched website of Orange but there is nothing related to this problem. Also they do not supply this kind of codes, instead of this they asked me to go to customer service, but here does not exist Orange service. When I check with *#7465625#

1. Network lock [ON]

2. Subset lock [OFF]

3. SP lock [OFF]

4. CP lock [OFF]

I requested 3 times unlock code from Orange by thinking that is it really wrong code. But no. Every time I got same unlock code from Orange. And here I can not find any shop for this problems, also after this problem I am not sure to make payment online on some websites which are working only for these issues. When I try this solution:

Yes, I get same message as LOCK SUCCESSFUL, so my unlock code is correct. But still I get "unlock code request unsuccessful". I think I need unfreeze code.

I rooted my phone and downloaded [root] Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock apk. But it could not find also UNFREEZE CODE. I rebooted and tried so many times, it still can not find it.

IS THERE ANOTHER WAY TO FIND UNFREEZE CODE ?

If you help me at this issue, I will be pleased.Thank you in advance!

[HTC One X] nestnest:
hey!

a little panicky here, i just unlocked and rooted my one x today, installed the latest cwm and tried several different roms with their respective boot.img files.

after a while i thought i'd go back to my nandroid of the stock but it wouldnt start. in cwm i copied the boot.img from my nandroid to my pc and rebooted, trying to get into fastboot mode but my phone wouldnt let me. whenever i reboot by pressing power for 10 seconds i just get back to the white thc quietly brilliant screen, no matter which buttons i press. so i CANNOT enter fastboot mode. HELP please!

Plug your USB cord in & type adb reboot bootloader.
[HTC One X] nestnest:
thanks for the quick reply, im trying both windows and ubuntu at the mo, in windows it says

error: device not found

i do hear the sound of a device being attached to the computer when i plug it in tho.
[HTC One X] nestnest:
ok. 'progress'.

unfortunately in the wrong direction. i rebooted again to try to get into fastboot mode and now its dead. doesnt respond to anything, no charging light, no screen. i think im pretty much f**cked
[HTC One X] TheBrilliantMistake:
ok first things first...

1) Plug your phone into a charger.... NOT a PC USB cable, but a genuine wall charger and leave for 30 minutes to make sure there's plenty of charge.The wall chargers deliver more current to the battery than a PC USB port. Don't be tempted to keep turning the phone on and off, as this could kill any little power left in your battery (just in case that's an issue).

2) Make a cup of coffee and try and calm down <---- important

3) When you power of the device make 100% sure you're holding the volume down button BEFORE (and during) the power on process... and keep holding it down. From your description, it sounds like you're not doing this properly. If this is successful, you'll get to the HBOOT menu. From there, you 'should' be able to get into the Fastboot menu - where you can then start issuing ADB / Fastboot commands.

PLEASE do all three, and don't skip any steps.
[HTC One X] nestnest:
thank you! wish i had known that before my quasi heart attack. i actually did exactly that after the phone went completely dead, it worked and im back on my stock rom now.

apparently you cant enter fastboot below a certain margin on your battery?

if i hadnt found this out just half an hour or so ago i would be eternally grateful, now you will have to settle for pretty grateful.

no seriously thank you!!
[HTC One X] eyosen:
Can't stress enough the importance of second step. :D

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gabriel2anjos:
Recently, i experienced the drama of having a hard bricked phone. Its a real headache, because you know that you wasted money into a useless brick, and if you send it to the assistence, you arent going have your cell phone for weeks, or even months. So, maybe you already heard those advices, but you need to make sure you never will never commit such an error.

Im not talking that root may damage your phone. If you do it right, it will not. But what can brick your phone is your attitude after root. Flash roms or kernels can brick your phone, but only using avast anti thief root options can not. Have this in mind.

1- NEVER (repeating, never) flash something that ISNT for your phone. It may be to the HNA-G7533339LS, but if you flash it on the HNA-G7533339 without those LS, you can get into touble. The firmware were for GT-S7500, but i flashed it in a GT-S7500L. Result: Brick

2- Dont think that if you have Clockworkmod backup or something like that, you cant brick anyway. If your bootloader gets corrupted, nothing will save you. Nothing. And you may corrupt it by flashing roms the wrong way.

3- Read the comments at the ROM that you are going flash, at less. Or make a search at Google. It may save your ass. Recently, lots of Galaxy S II owners had trouble with a leaked ICS kernel, and they bricked their phones, so read before doing ****.

4- I dont recommend flashing homemade custom roms or flashing untested ROMs, but someone needs to be the first. Only do this if you are really sure of what you are doing.

5- Asking dont hurts. If you are uncertain, ask. Its the best way to avoid problems.

6- For security reasons, always flash having a recently charged cell phone, seated on something, to avoid a falling smartphone. Also, if flashing throught ODIN, its preferable using a charged notebook.

7- Have a usb jig at your home. It may save you at some cases. You can buy one at www.dealextreme.com , or make your own.

8- And the last, after a hard brick, dont think your game is over. If you are under warranty, and your cell phone is truly bricked, send it to a assistance, and play dumb, like "I dont know what happened, but it turned off and isnt rebooting anyway". It isnt right to lie, but it may be necessary, for serious. Thay arent going cover a custom flashed phone. If it isnt under warranty, find someone with a riff box at your city. It may fix your phone.

I hope those advices can help you to avoid headaches.And know that Im not saying "dont flash roms". They may wonderfully boost your phone, and give it a new face. Only be sure of what you are doing :) Sorry by my bad english (it isnt my native language) , and bye! :cool:

Hey Thanks a lot for this.. I really needed this.. if it is possible then please help me with my doubts... :)

OK.. I will directly get to the point... I want to do "something" for my phone, the Galaxy S Advance... like create a custom Kernel or a ROM for this device... Now I'm a total "newbie" in all these.. so this will be my first time... now my question is: Which will be easier and SAFER to make; a custom ROM or a kernel?... Because I will obviously be the first one to try my own creation so like please tell me which one will be safer for me to try out? So that even if I do something wrong - I will still be able to fix it without spending any money on Repairing from shops...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gabriel2anjos:
If it's your first time and you don't know a lot about these, the safer(and easier) would be, for sure, trying to create a custom ROM. A kernel requires lots of knowledge, you need to compile things, code, make magic.... It's hard and dangerous, cause it's the bridge between firmware and hardware. If something go wrong, you are gonna have a bad time. But the rom creation process is much more easy, there are lots of tutorials, and if u know how to use Linux there is even a tool called dsxda kitchen(or something like that). The chances of bricking are smaller(but are still present) and it usually makes the device better.

So, if u are really need it, first get experience creating a ROM. Only think about kernels later.

Hope I helped, and good luck :thumbup:

Useful video for newbies

I've uploaded one video on YouTube last January, that should help beginners what to do, as well as read in the text step by step and translate it (many people who visit this forum don't understand very well english, so they can copy&paste it into their translators). Here is the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NXBN9Z63TY

Last January I've read in different forums that many people had issues with "E: signature verification failed" even after successful root, as sometimes they just rooted but didn't have CWM recovery yet.

There were no good explainations how to solve it so I did that video, on the example of Samsung Tab 2 GT-P5110.

The video has helped many people, meanwhile it's clicked nearly 50K times....

in india the Maximum Retail Price of S advance is rs. 26999 whereas that of sony xperia P is rs.25799 !! well the pricing strategy of samsung atleast in india is always really bad ! they try to keep a whole lot of margin for the distributors,retailers !! however the best buy price of the s advance in the market is rs.22000 whereas i got my xperia p for rs.23200 that is just 5% more than s advance !! so i guess price isnt a big discrimator in our country regarding both the phones ! well i personally prefer the p but well den again like u mentioned ur phone had a better battery 200 mah more dan my phone and a expansion slot ! bdw my battery lasts me around a day on average use of somewhere about 1 and half hour of gaming and somewhere 2 hours of music and approx 1 hour of other apps !! i would like to know about s advances battery life caus my firend owning the same claimed his battery too lasted just a day !!

But like you said the price is not soo different in your country,and i really like the P,so in that case i would buy a Xperia instead a SGSA.
