i didnt even know that.. so custom roms for the s2 dont support mirror mode though mhl adapter??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nasty_z:
It's tv-out mode, not mirror mode.. And only the AOSP-based custom roms don't support it. And to the OP, the tv-out will be available once the cyanogen mod team fixes it. This thread will be locked or moved, it's the wrong section, try Q&A section next time :)

This will not in this section ... And this question is on the AOSP roms? If so, then this is very noob where you see

Hi I've searched all over for the problem I've got but can't find the solution. My phone gets stuck in a boot loop when I put cwm recovery on and the only fix I've found needs Odin. I haven't got a computer so I was wandering if there is a zip I could flash that would fix the problem. Thanks in advance! :)

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

I recently had a burn-in problem on my Galaxy S2. I went to Samsung Service center on 2/July/2012 for a solution and they replaced my S2' Display. I got my S2 today from service center. (Yup it took them about 1.5 month to replace a display ! Damn ! ) . But when i got my S2 from them i saw some scratches on Camera lens :P i was like WTF! . I asked a guy in the service center about this matter but he replied " Sorry sir,

i will replace it for you but it will take some time, I said - hmm ok but when ? He replied back - 3-4 days.) I went out from center.

When i came back home. I transferred some new music files to phone from pc and started the music player. I realize that there is no sound.

I plugged in my headphones and got sound. Then somehow i noticed that there is no loudspeaker in the handset !

Now what should i do ? Can i post on consumer court for this ?

or tell them about this too along with camera lens replacement ?

btw warranty period is over now.

Wondering how this can happen, Maybe a careless technician replaced my S2 Display and forget to place back loudspeaker ?

I already hard reset my phone and flashed a ressurection remix 1.1 but no avail.

I am damn sure loudspeaker is not there !

Sorry for my English !

You must go to service center and talk to the manager about it, He may listen to your problem and resolve it.

Except you can try this app to check if your hardware is okay or not..

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chairmansaab:
Thanks for reply.

is there any app that can check if there is Loudspeaker present on your handset on not ? btw i am getting only 1 bar on 2G where is used to be full 4 bars :P tried with different sims but max bars i can get is 2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neerajganga:
First thing u shud check before getting out of the service center is 'evrything is wrkin fi9 or no also if there are any damamges done by the service center like scratches etc"

u can call the corporate office and contct the person who handles the service centers

also first get in touch with the service center manager.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saywhatt:
i got this problem with the service center too when i got my old Galaxy i9003 SL.. first, i got the camera all fixed, then the loudspeaker started not to work.. so i sent it back to the service center to get it all sorted out, total time the center used to get my phone fixed was like 4 months :| and when i got my phone back, the touch panel didn't work anymore.. sent it back again, and they said that im finally gonna pay them like Php8'000 because it was out of warranty.. i feel ripped off man. tsk.

but i eventually got the touch screen working, i did some magic inside, :P

anyway, you're at luck if your phone is still on warranty :p complain to the manager lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chairmansaab:
Hmm btw i already mentioned that my warranty is over now.

I can't connect them because its closed today (umm sunday :)

So i have to pay them to get my phone working all over ?

I mean they did this all and make my phone faulty.

Things which are not working or functionally abnormal are-

Loudspeaker - removed

Getting weak signal 2bar max as of now.

Camera behavior is changed in macro mode :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saywhatt:
Well before you talk about money and everything, you should "business" talk with the manager xD lol

Since I have had zero feedback about my previous post, I've decided to rename "WinFastboot - Flash Recovery" to "Android Flash Recovery". I'd also like to mention that it will be updated later this evening. I have a few more minor things to wrap up and then I'll upload and post a new link.

I've had quite a few downloads, so I know my app is being tried. I really need some feedback folks. If you have issues with, a feature request, or even a simpe UI improvement/suggestion. I'm also curious as to the types of devices that my app is being used in conjunction with. What works and what doesn't.

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oldsap:
if a device is able to go into recovery mode, does it mean this app is applicable?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shinobisoft:
Unfortunately no. The device must be in fastboot/bootloader mode.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jamcar:
well there goes every samsung device that isnt a nexus
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shinobisoft:
There is a way to install a ROM with adb so I'd say it may be possible to do a recovery too. I'll do some investigating. Might be able to do something. ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jamcar:
could you keep us posted on you research?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shinobisoft:
More than happy to. I've have a little more to do as far as completing this piece of software then I'll look into using adb as an alternative for the purpose of this thread and possibly for devices such as yours that do not have access to the bootloader/fastboot mode for whatever reasons. :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] venumx:
for samsung phones you would look into using the dd if=[recoveryimg] of=[recovery partition] to copy the recovery image to the recovery partition. this is how you manually do a samsung phone's recovery flash. so a way to implement this into the app for, let's say the GS3 would be

adb push [user selected recovery img] \sdcard\recovery.img ( or some other way of copying the user selected recovery img to the root of the sdcard )

su

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

and that will flash the recovery to the gs3.

of course the main issue is that the recovery partition is not always the same name of the block so /dev/block/mmcblk0p18 will not always be the name of the recovery block. The way to overcome this ( i think ) would be to program in a part of the app that reads in Build.MODEL which will give you the model device the user has plugged in and then you can determine from there what the block title is by programming in the blocks for each samsung phone model. To make it simpler befoer you do that, filter out stuff that can just be fastbooted...something like...

if(Build.Manufacturer == 'HTC' || Build.Manufacturer == 'Motorola' ||... etc)

// just do fastboot

else

{

switch(Build.MODEL) { // if switching strings is supported in Android ( it was introduced in java se 7 ) otherwise use enums

case GS3:

block = 'mmcblk0p18';

break;

}

//move the file to the SD card if the model is supported

//do the su and dd command here

}

anyways...im bored at work so just figured ide give my 2 cents, not sure how much support you wanna give this haha...hope this helps
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Commandox:
For me it's not working i am in Fastboot mode but winfastboot tells me i am not ... it recognized that the device is connected but not in fastboot mode even tough on my phone it says "fastboot usb" :\

Phone : HTC Wildfire

s-off

radio 3.35.15.31

ROM : CM9

Yeah i just saw "ICS( 4.0.* ) and JB( 4.1.1 ) devices are not detected correctly by the driver software. Some devices may not get installed." in the readme ...

Cant you do anything about this to fix it ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shinobisoft:
That's strange. I figured there would be some devices that this wouldn't work for. Are your USB drivers installed correctly? All other fastboot screens say "Fastboot mode started\nudc_start()". I will look into it tho.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shinobisoft:
Updated. Check first post for downloads ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Commandox:
Yep , USB drivers installed correctly , other things worked everytime i tried to do something ...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shinobisoft:
I'm looking into a workaround for your HTC device and from what I've heard I may need one for some Samsung devices as well. I'm sorry the update I posted doesn't contain this workaround. It is something that I will look into. I do have a regular full-time job tho, so it may take a few days for me to figure out what I need to do, how to do it, then writing the code for it.

As for the fixing how device drivers are installed, that's not something that I can fix. I believe it is actually an issue with the ICS and JB ROMs themselves.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shinobisoft:
For those of you who are having issues with Android Flash Recovery, I really need the names of your recovery mount points. HTC owners and Samsung GS3 owners for sure.

I can't fix these issues without your input folks. I'd really like to be the guy that has the one universal recovery tool that no one can live without. Scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. ;)

Get Partition Info

Below this message I have an attachment in zip format. In the archive is a Windows program that uses ADB to communicate with your device. It's a tool to generate a report about the partitions on your device. Since I have an LG Thrive P506, I don't need anything from the P500 family. What I do need:

Those who already have Android Flash Recovery or WinFastboot

Unzip the attachment to wherever androidflashrecovery.exe is or where winfastboot.exe is.

Those who don't have Android Flash Recovery

Please download and install Android Flash Recovery. Then download the attachment and unzip it to where ever you unzipped androidflashrecovery.exe to.

By doing it this way, this tool can share ADB that was installed with Android Flash Recovery. Mainly so y'all don't end up with multiple copies of ADB on your PC's. Now either attach your device to the PC and run get_android_parts.exe or run get_android_parts.exe and then attach your device to your PC.

The statusbar will tell you if ADB has detected your phone. If it has, your device's make and model will be displayed in the statusbar along with your devices IMEI number. Hit the "Get Partitions" button. Shouldn't take but a second. Once that is done, the "Copy to Clipboard" button is enabled. Press it. Come back to this thread and paste the results here for me.

This is the beginnings of an attempt to make the ultimate universal android recovery tool for Windows.

TIA :D

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chasmodo:
After gathering some more information, it appears that not all devices can even get a recovery flash, because both the recovery and the kernel reside in the same place. This was posted in N7000 forum:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shinobisoft:
Lemme see...

On my device anyway, "proc/mtd" is a file that tells me the names and sizes of the folders/partitions that are mounted on my device. I assumed, like a dumb-a** :silly:, that this would apply across multiple devices, which apparently, it doesn't :confused:

I thought I had found a simple approach to find out where everyones recovery partitions were. No dice on this one I guess. I'll keep researching tho. I sure love a challenge.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shinobisoft:
Figures :confused:. Thanks for the input ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abhisahara:
Here it is from Entropy512 himself

This is correct (If I recall correctly, Xplod says that the recovery was tied into the kernel, meaning you couldn't simply flash a recovery file separately.)- Just like almost all Hummingbird/Exynos Galaxy S1/S2 devices, we have a single combined recovery and kernel image. The "recovery" partition (p6) does absolutely nothing.

Qualcomm S2s were the only S2 devices with a separate recovery partition.

GS3-family devices, even Exynos ones, have a separate recovery partition

Complete post - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30520566&postcount=1009

So guess we cant flash the recovery alone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shinobisoft:
Since I don't have a S3 I can't say this for y'all, but according to another tool I've written, all the recovery images I have for my LG Thrive P506 also contain their own kernel. I will download recoveries for some other devices and inspect them as well, but I suspect that all of our recoveries have their own kernel. It would only make sense as that's the only way to keep the file system truly separate from the recovery. I could be wrong tho...
