[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moschops:
Eureka

I'm pleased to report that today I grabbed my G2 as I was clearing off my desk where it has been languishing for 18 months now. I'd had the exact same problem detailed in this report and failed in all attempts to get it going again. Emails with HTC also drew a blank since they told me the G2 was end-of-life and could do nothing to help me.

On a whim instead of throwing it in the trash along with the two Li-ion batteries I decided to try booting it. Too my surprise it did boot and I was able to recover the device, update all the apps and it is now fully functional. Unbelievable! Maybe there was some capacitor that needed to drain completely, or maybe something weird happened in the last 18 months. Either way I don't care, it's good to have my G2 bac and it is still a great phone. I love that keyboard even if I loved the G1 keyboard even more!

So I'm not keeping it for use without a SIM as the remote for my TV, DVR and a Chromecast client. All the apps I need for Chromecast work perfectly on it - NetFlix, YouTube, Google Music, etc. etc.

i tried to increase internal memory on my g2 using the pc10img,cmd prompt but after i had 362mb internal and 1.05gb usable.,,a downgrade from 421/1.3 to 362/1.05 memory ,what went wrong?how do i correct the hboot or expand the memory by other tweaks,help pls:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
well I believe you are just mistaken on what the difference between the dz hboot and that of the g2 are.

the dz just alocates more memory to the system (taking some from data) this will not give you more ram (which is the memory you are think of I believe)

the only reason to use the dz hboot is for larger roms (sense roms) for they need a larger system partition.

but by doing this you haven't lost any ram, but you didn't gain any either
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geniuznoob:
then why do i have 1.05gb now insted of the previous 1.3 gb....anyway if what u are saying is right ,then i just lost about 250mb into syestem memory,is that right?and why isnt it reflecting in the system dedicated memory,which is currently 362mb total.?:confused::confused::confused:hope u saw the screenshots i uploaded,is that normal?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
well the screen shoots you provided don't show system partition, what the do show looks right.

download titanium backup from market (free version will work fine)

you will see system (rom) then internal - this is what changed

think of it as a straght line where your memory lies. with small dividers for system and data, you just moved the lined where there is now more system alocated memory but then you know have less internal... if you use sdext then no biggy as you would but all apps in there, if you don't you didn't loose much but gained the ability to flash sense roms
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geniuznoob:
thanks man,i understand perfectly what you are saying,thanks :):):)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Approximately

DZ : ~550MB /system ~300 /cache ~1GB /data

G2 : ~409MB /system ~200 /cache ~1.3GB /data

For Sense and a number of other 'larger' roms, the G2 doesn't have a large enough /system to hold it, so naturally you would have to re-partition to the desire-z hboot in order to have a /system partition large enough to hold. It's gota take that space from somewhere else.

PS: "Memory" or your RAM is always going to be around 370MB, you don't get the full 512MB regardless of which hboot on, since the rest of that goes to your radio/gpu/etc. That's why Desire-Z didn't make the cut for ICS from HTC when they said '512MB or more', in their mind DZ doesn't have 512 for system (Which is technically true).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geniuznoob:
You are so right I checked with titanium back up and I had 572rom 1.3gb usable memory.thanks guys.uve been most helpful
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihahn:
Hi guys,

My friend's got a problem. He installed resurrection remix v 1.9.1 by westcrip 4.0.4 on his s2.

The kernel is:

3.0.31-siyah-v.3.2.4+

gm@gm-mint #32

SMP PREEMPT Thu May 17 17:46:03

EEST 2012

He didn't do a backup before installing it and now he wants the original rom back. Could anyone here tell me exactly what he has to do?

He doesn't know anything about flashing roms etc and he did it as in the tutorial to get resurrection remix, so we need an easy tutorial (I don't own a s2 so I can't help him much).

His S2 has no branding.

Thx and please help!

Michi
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fxrb:
Only your friend can know what firmware was on his phone before flashing the custom ROM. I suggest to use CheckFus to get the latest official firmware for the phone and then flash it using ODIN.

Using CheckFus is self-explanatory and for using ODIN there are already many excellent and easy to read guides here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihahn:
So CheckFus will tell which firmware is right for his device? It will tell exactly which firmware?

And could you post a link to a thread, where is explained how to flash the firmware using odin. Cause I don't understand anything about basebandkernel, and we don't know which firmware was there as he bought the device and which kernel and which baseband and whatever. Is there any tutorial for noobs?

Could you excatly post which firmware we need from here to get phone back on stock ics? We want a german firmware if possible. (I know you could just say ask google, but at xda heres a great community and I don't understand anything of odin and want to know which files exactly I have to download for phone, pda and cdc. That would be so great!)

Please help us! :)

Thx in advance!

Michi

EDIT:: I found this here: http://androidfirmwares.net/PhoneFirmware/Download/120

Can I download there and then I have to put them like this:

PDA: XWLPF

PHONE (Modem): XXLPX

CSC: OXILP6

?

And then get s2 to download mode?

And what about the kernel? There is this kernel on s2 right now:

3.0.31-siyah-v.3.2.4+

gm@gm-mint #32

SMP PREEMPT Thu May 17 17:46:03

EEST 2012

How can I flash stock kernel? Or is it included in these PDA,PHONE,CSC Files?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fxrb:
Yes

You will have to do quite a lot of reading. Start by reading the Stickies and then read this thread which explains how to use ODIN.

Remember: only fools rush in - take your time and read before flashing ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihahn:
Thanks a lot, but what about kernel now? We'll have to read the thread, but I just want to know if the firmware from android firmware was right and if I could flash the rom if I just put these 3 Phon,Pda and Csc in the fields and without repartition. So what about the kernel?

Sorry if I nerve you, but I'm a noob with s2/flashing etc and it's not my phone ;)

Thx!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fxrb:
The kernel is part of the stock firmware.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihahn:
So we just need to place these 3 files in the right order in odin (PDA: XWLPF, PHONE (Modem): XXLPX, CSC: OXILP6) and go in download mode on galaxy s2. Then we can flash the firmware which is stock? And then we can update via kies if possible and use kies and etc? there's nothing else to do? And after the we have warranty as if we have just bought it?

EDIT:: I downloaded it but in the 7z file there were only boot modem cache etc and these were iso files? What have I got to do? Where can I download just pda, phone and csc? I dont get that!

Pls help!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
You can try www.sammobile.com for stock firmware too. You'll have to sign up, but it's worth it. You just search for the stock firmware for your device and flash through Odin. Do not use the repartition button or the pit file and you should be fine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fxrb:
I doubt that, the 7z file contains one tar.md5 file. Do not untar it, no one said you should do so. For ODIN read and follow the instructions according to the link I posted in post #4. That thread tells you what to do with the firmware file.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neerajganga:
extract the file u downloaded from samfirmware or checkfus

u will have two files in it (in Latest gb or ics)

insert it in pda and flash

and ur done

the kernel is included in the firmware ..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihahn:
Thx guys now I hope this is my last question on this topic:

I read the guide and downloaded a firmware. Now I don't understand the thing with checkfus. Do I really need checkfus or can I just download this firmware for a s2, unbranded, bought on amazon and it's a german s2?

Can I only put this extracted .tar.md5 file in PDA Section in Odin, boot s2 into download mode and connect to pc. Then click start and everything should went fine?

I own a xperia mini pro and there I must flash kernel and then firmware, so at odin and s2 the kernel will be changed when I flash pda and is included in pda?

Sorry, I asked same before, but I don't really understood :(

Thx for your great answeres, xda is a super community!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fxrb:
CheckFus is used to download the latest firmware. As you have downloaded the firmware from somewhere else, you do not need CheckFus anymore.

Yes, exactly, load the tar.md5 file.

Yes, correct, as stated earlier.

No problem, better ask if unsure.I can see, you did some reading :)

Flash stock rom after resurrection remix

I just reflashed my samsung J-500H with the stock rom after gapps started crashing on resurrection remix. I had no problems going back to stock except the I had a boot loop for a few times my remedy was to do a data and factory reset on stock recovery. I will reflash RR after I find gapps that would work on my J5 Lollipop. Any suggestions?

wpa2 is your encryption, Your network band will be 2.4ghz or 5ghz (or dual band if your router supports it) the transformer will only pick up 2.4ghz networks.

Enviado desde mi Transformer TF101 usando Tapatalk 2
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoinTheRealms:
Yeah u'll be on 2.4ghz. it could be a kernel issue, did you flash a custom kernel after you flashed the rom? mismatching kernel/rom ends up with wifi not working

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SimDroid:
You would have to pull the theme manager theme of choice out and change the statusbar_background.9.png to a transparent color.

So for SystemUI(using winRAR):double click on the .zip to open it

double click on system ->app -> SystemUI.apk to open it

click on res

pull drawable-hdpi to your desktop

find statusbar_background.9.png and open it with your editor of choice that has transparency ability i.e paint.net, photoshop

make the bar transparent, save it

drop the file back in the drawable-hdpi folder of the SystemUI apk

when the little window pops up to say would you like to blah blah blah click yes

Now its themed
