First of all I gotta say that I wouldn't go with the evo 3D it was a nightmare for me. As for the galaxy s2 I would just get the T-Mobile variant if you want full hspa+ speeds and the wirefly link was only for 2 year contracts not prepaid ;)

If I helped you hit that "thanks" button :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TauSigmaNova:
yeah, I'm gonna get it, but I dont know WHERE the best place to get it is. Wirefly wont work and from TMobile it's like 500 bucks. On EBAY I could prob get it cheap unless too many people bid it up and it would be used. My maximum limit is definitely like 230-250.

I'm really in a situation here. Idk.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jaimesco12:
Don't think you will find a galaxy s2 for 250, who knows I got mine at Craigslist I don't know about eBay that much.

Edit - maybe try to get an HTC amaze, their a bit more cheaper.

I dont know. The only "decent" prepaid phone is the One V and it's not really all that good
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jaimesco12:
Lol the one v is a Pos, plus virgin mobile 3g is a nightmare idk about 4g but I've had horrible experience with virgin mobile. Look in Craigslist for an HTC amaze it has the same specs as our phone, and its cheaper(well here in Vegas).

Edit- I would just wait and save up money if you want the s2.

If I helped you hit that "thanks" button :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TauSigmaNova:
I looked for the S2 in craiglist. Several things in 200-250. I dont know though, It's really a hit or miss. That S2 for 20 bucks. Should I bid on it? is it even worth it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jaimesco12:
I haven't used eBay only amazon but bid on it if you trust using ebay. I would just buy off craigslist

If I helped you hit that "thanks" button :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TauSigmaNova:
I dont have much experience with Craigslist, and I dont know if my parents would want to get it from Craigslist otherwise id look for it there alot.

Ebay can't be that much worse though, right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shopealope:
I use my S2 on simple mobile and I love it but you may not have coverage in your area so definitely check that. I got my S2 for $225 and pay $40 a month for unlimited talk, text, and 3G. The service can be a little spotty though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jaimesco12:
Don't know man tbh, I'm 15 and got it off Craigslist and I didn't get robbed or anything like that lol. Just get your parents to go with you and test the phone out, but its your call.:rolleyes:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TauSigmaNova:
I live in the most populated part of New York City- Brooklyn, NY so I'll def have coverage. Where'd you get your S2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shopealope:
Craigslist for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TauSigmaNova:
Ahh.

Right now I'm gonna be on eBay and maybe even Craigslist looking for either an SII or a G. Nexus for under 250 (If I can). I'll be more than happy with either of those two.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] _ice_:
I got mine on Craigslist around February. I didn't get robbed either. The dude was gangster looking too. We met up at a Starbucks. He had his family with him lol, Tested the phone out and everything is fine no problems!

What I didn't do was verify the phones imei with T-Mobile to see if it was black listed. I didn't learn about this until I came to the gs2 forums. Though my imei is fresh and the guy was legit I still recommend you check the imei for potential black lists (stolen, insurance claim etc)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jaimesco12:
If you could get a nexus at the same price get that.

The link you posted, is for customers who create a new post paid (contract) account through us for T-Mobile. We do offer T-Mobile pre-paid phones and accounts, but the prices are usually different. I am happy to help you with any questions you have about Wirefly - I work at our HQ. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk plan specifics. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
it sounds like you'll break the new phone you're planning to get...

anyways, craigslist isn't a bad place to deal with, the other people are thinking the same thing about you and hoping you won't rob them lol.

Craigslist you'll probably get the cheapest prices. in NY im sure you can find it for $250 even if you have to haggle your prices down.. but you're in NY im sure people are use to that.

Do not get the AMAZE if you're worried about battery life.. their battery life just sucks. had it for 3 months.. hated the battery life.. the camera on the other hand is AMAZING.

If you're going with T-mobile, avoid the international or At&t galaxys2 with the button.. because you'll be on edge. Their ROMs do no work with ours.. that is asking for a brick... only the skyrocket is interchangeable with ours.

between the nexus and the gs2... nexus better screen, better updates

gs2 better battery life (30-45mins screen time), better camera (just a tad), faster data speed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TauSigmaNova:
While I have no issue with craigslist, I doubt my parents would go along. Maybe I'll see if I can convince them to give my cousin the money to get itsince I know he has experience with craiglist. I'd post a wtb on the xda want to buy thread but for some reason it won't let me post there.

I have ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4 currently installed, when I reboot into recovery mode, the menu scrolls by really fast on an endless loop, and I cannot select anything.. So I was wondering how I would get the stock recovery back onto my tab.. Any help is much appreciated.. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilBullo82:
I think you got the rolling CWM issue:

Look over here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1555984

I'm now at 4.0.4 and have the hc stock recovery somewhere.

Whithout knowing that ics has the same recovery than hc exactly, and I'm not convinced that it is so, don't think it helps you much.

But the above Link could help you way better.

edit1:

i had same issue with CWM 5.5.0.4, flashed a different bootlaoder and it worked...BUT if you then recover back to hc for example you get strange behavior here... just tbh
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinasky71:
the best way is to flash the entire firmware on the tab. And obviously the more destructive one too.

I suggest you also to install the cwm recovery 5.5.0.4. That's the only non-rolling recovery you will find, and to do that it's not necessary to reinstall the stock one

here's the link to the good recovery for you: http://www.teamovercome.net/p7500/?page_id=8.

If you're already using this and still have the rolling screen, the problem is the bootloader: so follow this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27830023&postcount=41 and your recovery should be fine.

If the problem still goes on, problably you did a little bit mess flashing roms and recoverys and in that case your only solution is to flash the entire stock firmware erasing all the old stuff and then reinstall cwm, root the device and so on.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
Try manually editing the mount script.

I don't really remember where the link2sd mount script was created for stock roms without /init.d i think it was in a file called init.d at the root of the phone or system/ or system/etc.

Look it up, open it as text, locate the link2sd mount script.

The part where it says 'mount -t ext3 -o rw /dev/block' change 'ext3' to 'ext4' in all lines required, reboot. Check link2sd again to see if it worked.

Otherwise, enable the system/etc/init.d address by flashing cf-root or flash a custom rom.

[HTC EVO 3D] jerwolfe:
Hello, so i posted a thread yesterday and got no help at all on this subject, but i have an Sprint HTC EVO 3D rooted with hboot1.5, i also have TWRP v2.2 installed as my recovery partition. Unfortunately i lost all back ups and my OS on the phone due to me being stupid and accepting an OTA update when not using stock recovery. So now i am left with a phone that just boots to the HTC screen, and i can boot into the recovery partition with no OS on the phone at all. Is there any way i can get the phone back on and functional or am i just screwd out of luck?I am a noop at android so please if you can help please provide an extensive explanation as possible, or give as much guidance if possible. I really need my phone back. I have a windows computer so i can not fastboot through linux, if you suggest that. Please and thank you if you can help!
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Download a few sense ROMs to the sd card- I recommend one gingerbread and one ICS ROM (mean ROM or zr3d if you want my opinion). Go into twrp and wipe everything except sd card (I'm not sure exactly the command since I use 4ext). Then flash one of the ROMs and reboot. I suggest sense based since those seem to have the least issues. Try the ICS one first and if that still bootloops then try the GB one.

[HTC EVO 3D] ZeRo2o9:
yea just flash another ics rom. but if you flash the new sprint ota roms you need to update the hboot to the new 1.58 hboot. just make sure you check if your s-on or s-off unless you dont care about being s-off

Did you flash gapps after flashing cm7
[Wildfire General] NeXT1001:
if you not flash gapps after flashing CM7, maybe you try downlad and install from SD card *.apk file :P

Sorry for my bad english
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
The thing is, if he didn't flash Gapps, he also likely doesn't have the Google Framework files, on which the Play Store (and the rest of the Gapps) relies.

[Wildfire General] Pator57:
Always have to flash gapps when you change rom! :p
[Wildfire General] epic118:
Flash GAPPS. If PlayStore still doesn't appear (had this problem with my I9100), just flash twice in a row.

CyanogenMod wipes /system and installs itself without GAPPS - you have to reflash GAPPS everytime if you're using an AOSP based ROM.
[Wildfire General] eventcom:
true, but if I'm not totally mistaken it should be pointed out that this definitely doesn't apply:

so as long as you don't flash a new/different ROM you don't need to flash GApps. But even with minor updates I always would recommend to do the following (at least) when flashing a new ROM or an updated version:

- format system

- wipe cache

- wipe dalvik

- flash new ROM

- flash GApps

BTW this

hasn't to do with shortcomings of CM but with the license of GApps - pretty simple: GApps is not Open Source so devs shouldn't (aren't allowed to) include them with their ROMs ;)

Perhaps, as an android user, you would benefit the community much more by learning yourself. It's quite easy, and if you're on these forums you'll need to know. IMO no one should root or anything of the like without knowing ADB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seanrobot:
Is it safe to flash a different kernel if a rom is in beta

For example flashing 4.1.1 liquid smooth beta with Franco kernel 4.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
"Yes"

As long as you have the tools to get yourself out of any potential trouble (back ups, adb and fastboot on your cpu help, etc...), I wouldn't worry about it. I've run experimental kernels on alpha ROMs without issue, some people have their phone explode on stock everything.

As the title says. I performed the manual update to FF18 ICS update. Everything is working great, but I noticed there are some features missing. For exmaple,

- I still have the old GingerBread Action bar at the bottom.

- I cannot create a new folder by dragging another app on another (like iOS)

- I do not have the black system bar at the bottom

- When I click and hold an app.. there is no "circular background" behind it.

That being said, the facial recognition, picture panorama, data usage, all that is there.

I've been asking a lot of questions lately and I apologize. I have an Epic 4g Touch flashed to Verizon. I paid someone to do it and honestly I'm confused. If I'm on the Verizon network, why do I continue to get Sprint notifications? If I go into the about phone section the network still says Sprint. I downloaded Open Signal and it shows me on EVDO. Can I make it go away? Again sorry for all the questions but this flashing thing has me really confused.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Freeze or remove the sprint zone app
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
If that doesn't do it, freeze System Updates with Titanium Backup. You're still getting the notifications because they go out to phones based on their unique serial number which is detected by Sprint.

Hi,

Trying to root my brothers HTC Desire HD which is currently running Android version 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) and HTC Sense version 3.0.

I've been searching for the past half hour trying to find a way to root it but my search hasn't been very successful since the aahk no longer exists.

I tried the temproot method but when trying to temproot the phone the phone started to freeze and I had to remove the battery to restart it, the application went completely black... I used VISIONary to try temproot it...

So how do you root the device?

Once downloaded, read the 'efffen manual' thoroughly, open the batch file as administrator and press 1. You will have to downgrade your firmware. Press y and hit enter. Continue on with the downgrade. Once it's booted back up and you've setup the device; enable debugging mode again and disable fast boot. Enter 1 at the menu of the batch file.
