[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karistep:
If your nexus is rooted, go in recovery mode and install a new rom from zip.

How to ?

Download rom of your choice via wifi

You can download a rom directly from your nexus to sd.

Check here for download (example)

http://mehrvarz.github.com/nexus-7-usbrom/

Download Google applications on your nexus via wifi

Download from here : http://donandroid.com/gapps

Before installing new rom make a save using titanium backup.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=fr

Save all your application and data in batch mode.

Create titanium.zip on your nexus 7 sd.

Then from recovery mode make a full wipe but without erasing sd data.

Follow these instructions :

Unless you format the system partition and system caches, you aint wiped nothing, there is only one way to carry out a proper full wipe, and thats the full wipe the correct way.

1. Boot into recovery

2. Wipe the cache partition

3. Go to advanced and wipe dalvik and batt stats.

4. Go back to mounts and storage and format system, then data, then cache.

5. Go back and install the rom zip file from the sd card.

6. Reboot.

No need to wipe data/factory reset, the contents of your internal and external sd cards are untouched.

From Recovery mode

- install titanium.zip.

- install gapps.zip

Reboot

Go to titanium backup and recover all your data.

Et voila...

I recieve a call, slide to answer and the I get a message telling me to push one to answer. I never adjusted anything and don't know where it came from.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slvrap1:
That's from Google voice, did you use the sprint integration or adjust any of your Google voice settings?

You can turn it off in the Google voice settings, calls, call screening

My buddy just picked up his Sensation off Ebay and wants me to Root it...

The Build number is 3.32.531.14 CL356011-release keys...

Its on HTC 3.6 and Android 4.03...

Just wunderin what the best Root Method to use...???:confused:

Ive rooted my Original EVO...EVO 3D ...Galaxy S2 and my new Galaxy S3...

Im not new to Rooting ...

But the Sensation has a bunch of options to Root from and Id like to know whats the best one for his...:cool:
[HTC Sensation] sssurfer:
Here is a guide to get ROOT without S-OFF -> Link :)
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Ideally you want full S-OFF first, unfortunately you can't use the simple method due to the HBOOT version you're on. You should be on HBOOT 1.27.0000.

Look at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1614617

You will need a copy of a Custom Recovery in a PG58IMG.zip format. Look for PG58IMG-CWM5020.zip (it'll need renaming when you want to install it).

There is also an unlocked (by revolutionary.io) version of the HBOOT, version 1.27.1100

For SU you probably want to install SuperSU.

Hi,

Is there a mod out there that is best suited for a T mobile G2? It would be nice to know the Android 4.0 mods that work best for it.

Also, I frequently use the T-Mobile Wifi Calling app to place calls over my wifi connection. Is there a way to make this app work? I have it downloaded, but it doesn't seem to work. Has anyone out there got this working?

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
ummm, so you are looking to chang to android 4.0 and have the ability to use wifi calling over the tmobile network?

if you are rooted than good

flash either mimicry or elitemod ics

make sure to have the .19 radio (look @ edkeys page for help with this, as he also has updated libs as well as some info on the wifi calling)

if your not rooted then you got a lot more work ahead of you
[G2 and Desire Z General] valeous:
Hi,

This is exactly what I'm looking for. Can you confirm if I've come across the right mods for my purposes?

mimicry: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/28412-romjuly-27-andromadus-mimicry-v131-ics-cm9-rc2/

elitemod: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1700436

? Have I found the right roms? If so, which one seems the more popular out of the above?

and is this the edkeys guide?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1664106

Does the guide work for both mods or just mimicry?

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
yes those will all work

and mimicry also has a thread here on xda fyi
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
Just remember that there's a bug in mimicry 1.3.1 right now (more a bug in the aroma installer but still...). Where it doesn't correctly install the kernel if you select wifi calling.

So what you have to do to make it work, is to install it without wifi calling, then re-run the zip again and install it with wifi calling.

With elitemod, you just simply flash the tmobile wifi calling zip after installing eitemod.
[G2 and Desire Z General] valeous:
That makes sense. Mimicry worked for me even though I didn't see your cautionary post.

I do have a question. I already had an ICS mod on my phone before I installed mimicry. It seems doing that kind of 'upgraded' my phone instead of freshly installing mimicry. All my apps, sms, data, etc. are all still there. How can I do a clean install? I am using the bootloader rom manager. I'm still new rooting/mods so pardon my newb-like question.

Thanks!!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
there are a few ways, the cleanest wipe is fastboot -w

the next best is a superwipe script that also reformats system/data/cache

the next best is to boot into recovery and wipe everything down the line
[G2 and Desire Z General] valeous:
Thanks!

Will any of these methods remove my bootloader/rom manager with which I will install my new ICS?

How does one do a fastboot -w? You boot into the fastboot and do a -w script? I googled and couldn't find much.
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
yes you just boot into fastboot and type fastboot devices, if you see yours the type fastboot -w

it will not change yourbootloader, none of these methods will, any wipe will erase the os so rom manager will be gone but your recovery will stay intact, so when you flash your new os you will have to install rom manager from the market again if it doesn't come with the rom (if you have paid version it will not have to be paid for again)
[G2 and Desire Z General] valeous:
I'm assuming I need to connect my phone to my computer in usb debugging mode to type in the fastboot commands? as there isn't a terminal when I boot the phone in fastboot?

Cheers
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
correct, and when you open cmd it has to be pointed to fastboot.exe
[G2 and Desire Z General] valeous:
Thanks! That helped and the phone is awesome now.

Hey !

I tried the PA Jellybean version yesterday and I likes it a lot. Because it is a preview it has some flaws. Sadly I found a thing I have never had, but can't be without!

In my 'test' of the ROM, I tried to change the DPI to 160 at the Calender and make it tablet/phablet mode. (As in the picture below shows.)

Now my question is, does anyone know if I can get a 160 dpi tablet/phablet version of the stock calendar app?

Thank you :)

Title pretty much says it all but i have a question..Let's say i was to flash a ROM onto my phone that i had already flashed before but then decided to flash a different one but i also kept the .ZIP file on my phone. If i was to flash back to that old ROM would i keep certain things like the WIFI codes and the wallpaper i had before i went to a new ROM?Because this seems to be a problem for me. Also Would this problem be fixed if i downloaded a fresh ROM copy from the internet or off my Laptop?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Flashing the exact same ROM over your current ROM will tend to cause no issues, but no guarantee. Flashing to a different ROM, now thast a whole new can of worms. Its HIGHLY ADVISED to wipe all data and cache then flash. Use TDJ superwipe in CWM to do this, or you can use TWRP and do a factory reset. Now, depending on the ROM, you either flash gapps, or sign in into google. Either way, you have to sign in. If you would to chose to google to back up your phone, which is the default settings, then your wifi and wallpaper will be restored. You might have to restart to get the wallpaper back. Having the ZIP on your phone makes no difference in the way the ROM installs. The zip is no different then any other piece of data on your phone. You can find all the resources ive mentioned the development thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
P.S Don't be afraid to wipe all your system data. It won't touch your SD card. Your pics and files will be safe. Only your ROM and programs with its data will be deleted. Use titanium backup or ROM toolbox to back up your data. SMS backup is a good program to backup your SMS.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lanaka:
Strictly answering your specific question... "If i was to flash back to that old ROM (ed: after flashing a different one) would i keep certain things like the WIFI codes and wallpaper i had before i went to a new ROM?"

Simple answer: NO. When you flash a ROM, generally whatever was on the phone will be lost. Generally, it's like installing a new copy of Windows on a hard drive that has been partitioned into more than one partition. Whatever was in the partition the new Windows was installed to will be overwritten (<< note key word). Stuff that got overwritten will be lost. Stuff that doesn't MAY still be accessible assuming you didn't format the partition first. While stuff that is in the other partition will likely still be there, but may not be useable due to various reasons. In the PC example: installing Windows on a formerly Linux pc and retain the other linux partitions. The data's still there, but Windows (without massive driver/software support) will not be able to read the other partition and will ask you to format before using, which WILL then destroy all data there.

Stuff like wallpaper, it depends. If it's a wallpaper that was a file saved on your SD card or one of the stock wallpaper that came with the ROM, you can reuse it, however, you WILL need to reselect it (unless the stock wallpaper was the default one, which sounds like it was not, in your case).

Stuff like WiFi codes, all bets are off, and I wouldn't put any $ down as chances are VERY good that that information will have been erased. That's why you are supposed to keep backup of that information, preferably in a location away from the device.

Only data stored on the SD card and whatever partition that was not specifically erased/overwritten by the installation process will remain, and if you follow generally good practices, you should have had erased the various partitions and caches on top of the installation to ensure maximum reliability of the ROM. Thus only what you have on the SD is the only thing that would be retained after a ROM installation.

---------- Post added at 12:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 AM ----------

I agree, I too use Titanium. If you're really concerned about saving data (like that WiFi codes), then you will need something like Titanium and a SD card. Just remember to restore that data.

Please be aware that this assumes that you are using the saved data from the original ROM and, after trying a different ROM, you are going back to the first one.

If you are trying to migrate data (like the WiFi Code), for example, from the second ROM to the first ROM, this will only work IF both ROMs used the same software to handle WiFi and data are stored/used the same way in both ROMs.

That's why it's a good idea to keep a hard copy of the account and password information backed up separately from the application that's using the information. At the very least, in a text file stored on the SD card. I prefer using Dropbox and store it OFF the phone itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] g.kupster:
So I decided to root my Samsung S2 i7777. Had years of experience flashing HTC hero and Hp touchpad. Thought this might be straightforward as well. Proceeded to get ODIN and ATTGalaxyS2RootStockZedomaxKernel.tar. Flashed it and got pass. Phone proceeded to reboot and was stuck on the Exclamation mark. Tried restarting but no luck same thing. Initially had CWM coming in when I tried the Volume and Power button trick but could not do anything beyond that.

Then I decided that maybe my flash was not proper with that file so I took the siyah kernel and flashed that. This was a pass as well and then back to...the exclamation mark. Now, I cannot get CWM and retarating the phone with the USB connected lets me get into the Downloading window, but I cannot do anything beyond it.

What can I do? Do I need to flash a ROM- is that why I am stuck? How should I flash the ROM from ODIN- if I do get CWM back, can I put the ROM on the SD card and flash it using CWM?

Please help- I am getting stressed out and if I do recover from this, I am going to take a break from rooting :):laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
I think you should head over to the stickies and look for creepyncrawly's thread. It sounds like you should also be able to flash firmware through download mode if kernels are working. Also, stay away from galaxys2root and zedomax in the future
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You shouldn't take a break from rooting. You are just one of a very large group of people that have been blindsided by the galaxys2root website and its rogue developer zedomax. The firmware tools from that site have caused untold problems for people, similar to your problem.

To recover your phone, you need to first flash back to stock. Since you want to root the phone, and ultimately install custom firmware, you should first flash UCKH7 stock plus root package using the one-click downloader which you can get from the guide about how to flash custom binaries without incrementing the flash counter. The link for the guide is in my signature. Read the guide and follow it's directions. That should get you going again.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] g.kupster:
Thanks I checked it out..seems like putting the Stock back on might help me. Just so that I understand this better before I do it, am I installing the UCLE5_Stock_Rooted.tar using ODIN and that is enough to get me through.

2c.) How to root by flashing Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to Stock, Kernel + Rooted System Package with Modem using Odin3 One-Click Downloader (Windows)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] g.kupster:
UPDATE: I did download the "Odin3 One-Click Downloader Stock I-777 UCKH7 with Root no BL" package and extracted the file. Double clicked on it with the phone connected and all I see are the words I777- UCKH7 with Root with a lot of empty boxes below. Went to Odin and I see the phone connected (Com has yellow box) but nothing else is ticked off. Clicking Start does not do anything at all.

At my wits end- will not get any sleep tonite if I don't fix it.

Thanks in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JK_the_Slacker:
I had a similar thing happen after trying to make a backup of the stock rom with Rom Manager (Yes, I know now, thanks much.)

If you keep trying new kernels/roms and it never clears up, you're pretty much stuck with wiping data. It won't wipe your sdcard, but more and more apps are sticking their data in the phone's memory rather than on the sdcard, so if you can get a backup at all, you really should.

Source: Was up until 2:30 the other night trying to make my phone work again. The above is a GUESS - it's probable I missed something that creepyncrawly wouldn't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] g.kupster:
Ok more progress..turned off the phone and started 'I777UCKH7 OCD With Root.exe". Got the same window with lot of empty boxes. Had turned off the phone by this time and disconnected it. Now, I connected the phone and pressed the volume buttons. Phone goes into Download mode. Now, the Odin3 window has a Com port for the phone. Now I press start and it goes through a bunch of things before it declares "FAIL" in red. What do I do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Evidently, the zedomax product you originally flashed, or perhaps the siyah kernel that you flashed second, has made some undesired modification. I'd like to know exactly which package you flashed for each one of these first before I suggest which way to start correcting the problem. Can you please post working links for each of the two downloads that you used? You should still be fine, and will be able to recover the phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
The zedomax rooting kernel you flashed first is for Gingerbread version UCKH7, and was posted last October, shortly after the phone was released. If you had UCKH7 on the phone before you flashed that, it should have booted up fine. Most people I have heard about are able to use that rooting kernel successfully. So I need more information in order to be able to trouble shoot your situation.

First, are you sure your phone is SGH-I777, and not SGH-I727?

What firmware was installed on the phone before you flashed the zedomax kernel?

Has any other modification been done on the phone since or even before you had it?

The second kernel you flashed, the Siyah kernel, is an ICS kernel, version 3.4.2. The phone will not boot if the kernel and the system have different versions installed. So I need as much detailed information as possible so know what to do next.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] g.kupster:
The phone is SGH-I777 from AT&T. (I'll check the phone when I get home and reconfirm) The phone had the ICS installed (through the Kies update) before I (stupidly) tried the Zedomax Kernel. I just bought the phone new so no other modification had been done. After I had installed the Zedomax I had been able to see CWM if I did the power Volume trick but I cannot do it now since I installed the Siyah.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you need more info.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
OK. The phone was new, and most likely came with Gingerbread 2.3.6 UCKK6 installed. You updated it using kies to ICS 4.0.3 UCLE5. Just asking for your confirmation here.

Then you tried to root with zedomax kernel, which is a Gingerbread 2.3.4 UCKH7 kernel, which explains why it flashed successfully, but failed to boot, since you can't have a Gingerbread kernel and an ICS system together. You were able to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery in the kernel though. We can't blame this problem on zedomax. That kernel usually works ok. You started modifying your phone before you were familiar enough with the phone and it's firmware. The error of flashing a Gingerbread kernel onto an ICS system was yours.

Next you flashed the Siyah v3.4.2 ICS kernel. This kernel should be compatible with the UCLE5 system files that are on the phone. It seems to me that the phone should now boot, and I'm not really sure from this sequence what might have been altered that prevented the phone from booting and also prevented the Odin flash back to stock from succeeding. The only thing you have flashed so far is two kernels. No other partitions should have been touched.

What kind of error message do you get when you try to boot into recovery mode using vol+ vol- Pwr?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] g.kupster:
That seems correct (with regards to the sequence of events of the phone).

The error message is just the words "SAMSUNG GALAXY SII GT1900"..with a huge exclamation at the bottom. It stays like that until I do a battery pull.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Please verify this - the screen says "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100" assuming yours was a typo. Yellow triangle with exclamation mark?

This is what you get when you try to boot the phone normally, and also when you try to enter recovery mode using the three button method, vol+ vol- and power?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] g.kupster:
Yes, that is correct. It was a typo. I get the exclamation mark when I do the normal boot. I am going to confirm this evening if I get the same error with the 3 button method.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Post the answer when you have your phone in hand and I'll suggest something to try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] g.kupster:
Ok, I tried that just now and I got a message 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again'. There is an image of a cell phone and computer with an exclamation mark between them
