This is true. Although I don't know much about how to operate adb, I do have it installed. I waited an hour or two, the animation stops at some point and freezes but the usb connection still works.

I don't currently have TWRP installed on the kindle, just clockworkmod. I will try to install TWRP from adb and see what I can do.

EDIT: While my computer detects the kindle as an "Android ADB Interface" when I type "adb devices" into cmd nothing shows when the kindle is plugged in (but my phone shows when it's plugged in with USB debugging enabled, so I know I have it installed properly at least). I think the proper drivers are not installed.

EDIT 2: I uninstalled the driver for it to install the google usb driver but it failed to install the new one. Now when I plug the Kindle in it shows up as an empty Removable device in Computer butt does not show up anywhere else.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
"Android ADB Interface" usually appears in the device manager when the KF is in fastboot mode, but if you are seeing the boot animation from the ROM, it cannot be in fastboot mode. I'm not sure where your KF is in the boot process, so it's important to figure that out first. Take a look at this fastboot guide...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1668159

and it sounds like your device drivers are going to need some help as well...

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thethinkman:
I installed the drivers and now the Kindle is detected by adb when I type adb devices. ADB tells me it is in normal boot mode (4000). However, I cannot switch to ffastboot. It tells me it cannot find the drive specified and that permission is denied.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
FFF, assuming you installed it, goes into temporary fastboot for the first few seconds the the bootloader is running. Use that time to do what you need to do in fastboot. When the device detects you are trying to do something in fastboot during this time, it will stop the countdown and stay in fastboot.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Voiid:
On gingerbread on tw based roms we had the ability to change the brightness of the screen by sliding the status bar / notification bar. So my question is what happened to it on ICS? Or is there a way we can get it back? It was super nifty probably the coolest feature of gingerbread on this phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
Not sure if u are referring to stock ics or looking for a particular rom in which this option would be present. It is an option in cm9 stable. Hope this helps. Cheers

Oh yeah I forgot! Thanks for the response. I ment to say for touch wiz based roms lol but I would love to try a good cm9 rom any you would recommend?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
Im on cm9 stable and love it. I know you here / see this a million times but try out different ones for yourself. There really isn't a bad choice these days. Im not sure of your flashing background but if you are up to it then flash a couple and decide for yourself what is best. Also look at AOKP Milestone 6 (the latest aokp for ics before they turned their focus to jb). There isn't a thread on xda in dev section for some reason, but a simple Google search and you will find it. Also try out instigators kernel with a governor such as bad ass. His kernel is for cm9/aokp and can be found in dev section. Sorry to write a book haha. Good luck

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Voiid:
Thanks so much for all this info! The only main reason why I haven't really branched out is because of nandroid backups. I read that when you make a back up it doesn't back up your radio and kernal. So haven't really wanted to try any roms that weren't UCLF6 based. But if I were to go out and try out a few cm9 roms what is the best way to keep track of the default kernal and radio from a rom? I was thinking about just flashing the old rom then restoring the backup of that rom. Or should I not worry about it?

The rom I am using is the latest by seanz and I just changed to twrp recovery. Thanks once again for all the help! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
No problem! First off a nandroid DOES save the kernel but u can change the kernel u are using at any time. I am not 100% on the steps as I only have changed upon a fresh install but I believe you wipe cache and dalvik when changing ONLY the kernel and remaining on the same rom. Obviously firm these steps up before doing so. Sorry to go stray off on the thought process :P. A rom is almost always packaged with a kernel so keeping a base one isn't entirely necessary. If u were to flash cm9 and restored a nandroid of seanz rom you would be back to exactly what you had with his rom. The kernel would be whatever you had with SeanZ not Cm9. Radios don't need to be changed rom to rom and are almost always NOT packaged with a rom. Find one that works for you and stick with it imo. As for twrp I haven't used it but it should be the same. If I'm wrong then someone pls speak up.

I apologize for the late response, I just didn't have time to write back. But I can't thank you enough! This makes everything so much better and easier :)

I didn't know what you ment by cm9 stable but i was looking at Vincom's thread and I found the official cm9 and then there is a stable release I didn't know about this...this sounds awesome! I also found the cm9 xda nightly and some one said that he flashed it with twrp. In Seanz's latest release he wants people to use twrp so It should be the same. Thanks once again for all the help and I can't wait to try out cm9 :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
Cm9 stable was released Friday Aug. 10th and with that release they have concluded work on cm9 and turned their focus to cm10. Bug fixes in cm10 that correlate to those still present in cm9 will be fixed in the way of nightlies, but the actual night to night improvements of cm9 has ceased. It is best to go with stable and steer clear of new nightlies if u are not having a problem as they may introduce new bugs. Good luck! Enjoy! Let me know if u have any more questions and I will do my best to answer

UCLF6 (or any radio) will work for any rom you use.

I'm currently running it with a Gingerbread rom.

Just find which one is best in your area & use it for whatever rom you like.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Sorry but as well intended as it may seem, some of this info is incorrect. As far as I know the newer recoveries including twrp and cwm touch DO backup kernel, but not radio. Older 5.0.2.x based recoveries which many people still use after initial flash do not, so make sure u are using a recent one. However, reflashing a kernel and/or radio after getting ur rom running is a breeze and doesn't really interfere, so on that front ur good. Also note that u may have to reflash a radio after any rom install anyway as they may include ics specific libraries eg. Blaze, telus. The rest of the info was solid
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Illnevertell:
Gotta half argue with radio thing bro I been on le2 since initial leak and always it has performed well I never I repeat NEVER flash radios I'm too lazy lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
But that's cuz every rom u flashed had ucle2 based libs bro :P except for newer cm9 and cm10 code bases, which use uclf6 libs, where are quite compatible with ucle2 and vice versa.

Plus I have no doubt u have the knowledge and know how to diagnose data/voice issues and flash different radios if necessary. I was speaking with the intent to an audience that is still learning, not a seasoned vet/almost dev lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Illnevertell:
Lmfao true my bad I wish I could be a dev no real ambition I'm working on a new rom codenamed project X but its a ways off yet lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Voiid:
Thanks for all the help! I flashed cm9 the day you told me about it and I got to say.. I love it! I found one bug and that was if you open camera then click on the pic in the bottom corner (it opens the pic) then click on the pic (which opens the pic in the gallery) then when you hit the back button the camera app fcs. I tested this a few times and one time my phone actually rebooted and froze on the boot screen. I just pulled the battery and turned it on and no problems. BUT long story short I disabled the gallery and installed quick pic ( i like quickpic better anyways) and now the camera doesn't fc! Super easy fix for the only bug I have found so far. But I am really liking this rom! Thanks for the heads up buddy. Also I was confused when it said it was uploaded on the 10th! I was like this is like a few days ago OMG. lol But I gotta say i really like it! I really like the ability to have BLN with out the app installed :) I can't wait for a cm10 stable! and That makes perfect sense to not flash a nightly if stable is working fine ;) thanks for the heads up!

This is wonderful news that that ICS radio works on GB! At least i would think it is an ics rom cause it got released with the ATT ICS release. lol

Thanks for the help! I am using TWRP so it does back up the kernal :)

If i wasn't using twrp i would be using cwm touch but this is great to know that before it didn't and NOW it does so it is less to worry about :)

Its just sometimes finding which kernal the rom was using could be a pain. Like on some of seanzs roms IDK which kernal is the default because sometimes he has like UCLF6 and UCLF6 Modded by me and I don't know which was in the default for the rom lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rendler:
Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, P6200.

ROM: CM9.

Started with the device rebooting every time I tried to do nandroid backup when it got to backing up /data. I attempted to factory reset but then CWM (6.0.1.0) just hanged at formatting /data.

Then I attempted to do factory reset from the ROM (CM9). The device got stuck in a bootloop of trying to format /data and just hanging there. The device kept turning itself back on when turned off to go into this ridiculous loop.

Is my on-board sdcard fried or something? Anything I can do?

UPDATE: Fixed it, I hope. . . Ran f2sck from recovery on mmcblk0p10, needed three rounds before all the errors were gone. Then could successfully do factory reset and reinstall ROM. Restoring from backups now, hopefully nothing borks again,

I am pretty sure it is just a DB file somewhere on the device. Can anybody tell me what file?

[HTC Rezound] Mitalis:
I know My Backup Pro will allow you to backup playlists. I did this prior to upgrading my phone to ICS. I was able to restore the playlist, however for whatever odd reason, the restore process never seemed to finish. It just sat there at 0%, I left it alone for about 5 minutes, then decided to force kill it. Despite that issue, the music app had my playlists restored and the music played without any issues.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] melonbar123:
The Galaxy S III is a beautiful, expensive, fragile phone. I can understand how people would pay $30+ for a case. For me, I can't help but look for a deal so I wanted a setup that maximized each dollar I spent. I wanted a case that offered decent impact protection, a lip for the screen, and a slim profile. I'm very picky about screen protectors so clarity, smoothness, and most importantly, full screen protection was key.

Total cost: A hair under $5

Case: http://www.ebay.com/itm/280900471671?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Screen protector: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008FONF4Q/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

Review:

I've been a big fan of TPU cases. Silicone is too flimsy while hard plastic cases may mar the phone more than the environmental dangers it is supposed to protect against. TPU is rigid yet fairly soft and extremely light. However, it suffers from discoloration.

For $3 this hybrid offers a gray TPU frame and frosted clear plastic backing. The gray TPU and hard plastic resists discoloration from the hands and jeans and goes very well with the marble white version of the Galaxy. Cutouts are accurate and happily, the power and volume buttons are not difficult to press despite being covered by the TPU. The lip prevents the screen from touching the surface and the case in general is extremely rigid. The tight fit makes it difficult to take the phone out but offers more rugged protection. As an added benefit, the side of the case has grip which feels good in the hand.

The screen protector is made by Chromo and its cutout is exactly how screen protectors should be cut. Many other brands take shortcuts, often times leaving the upper right corner of the screen (where the FFC is located) and lower portion of the home button vulnerable. Chromo leaves little exposed. It develops scratches fairly easy but it feels great, almost like glass. Chromo offers almost full screen protection but since it is not curved, it slowly lifts up around the edges. The trick I use is to tape the left and right sides of the screen protector down before installing it into the case. As shown in the picture, it's almost unnoticeable.

No only does this prevent the screen protector from lifting, it also protects the trim of the phone from gathering microscratches from the TPU material (which happened to my Galaxy S II). The benefit from this case and screen protector combination is that the tight fit holds parts of the film down.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] melonbar123:
Now I talked about how hard plastic might end up scratching the finish of the phone. This is where clear scotch tape comes into play. Using wide, clear tape, I simply applied it to the battery cover. Just like the wet full body films like Zagg, using a little bit of soapy water helps with the application process. The tape also helped protect the LED light and camera lens; a cutout is needed for the speaker though.

You can also apply a small piece of tape to the home button for added protection. As you can see, I'm a big fan of tape.

Sure this setup probably won't protect as much as an Otterbox. Ideally I would also like a fancy curved screen protector from Spigen. However, compared to the almost $40+ I would spend just on those 2 products, I have a satisfactory setup that keeps my phone protected and handsome.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] King Shady:
the tape on the home button is just plain hideous :eek:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] melonbar123:
Yes, I just stuck it on to get an idea. A few minutes would produce a better shaped product.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Cruiserdude:
Looks like it works good in a pinch, but I dunno how I'd feel about putting scotch tape all over my brand-new phone. Honestly, I find my setup of a diztronic piano black tpu case and the SGP Ultra Nano to be a great combo, and well worth the $25 total it runs. You honestly can't tell there's a screen protector at all if you apply it correctly, unless you closely examine the borders, and the feel is indeed better than naked. You get a 3-pack, and if you have any issues with it they'll generally send you a new one for free. Honestly, I feel like anyone who can afford somewhere between $200 and $600 for the phone should be able to justify $25 or so for a nice case and screen protector.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] titaniac:
+1 about silicon flimsy. I rocked a silicon case for a little while because that was all they had where I am. It would slide right off the phone when I put it in my pocket.

I've not had to have my SGSII replaced, but I did have to replace the Captivate due to random shutdowns. The replacement refurbished phone is still going strong and has never had a problem. It looked like brand new when it came. It's the wife's now, since last October.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] raduque:
Well, I've had to replace mine twice. First one had an issue with the USB port, they sent me what appeared to be a "new" device; that is, it had a full sticker under the battery, and all the warning plastics were on it, but it came in an envelope. I warranty'd that one because the headphone jack died after a week.

The second one is a normal refurb unit. Have not had any issues with the second refurb, and that was almost two months ago.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
Had to replace 2 infuses, tho one was insurance, and one GSII. Warranty's were due to the stupid USB port issue, wonder if they fixed that in newer phones?

I never had a refurbished phone sent to me. all 3 were brand new devices. GSII was done fairly soon after it was released. but on the infuse Im not sure why i didnt get a refurb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bruce0750:
Mine is a refurbished i777, got it back In last December and two weeks in found out that the flash didn't work. Called Samsung, and they gave me free round trip shipping and free repair because of warranty. Restored to stock and sent it in, got it back in two weeks.

Also, I called att first but they told me to call Samsung. And according to Att, I only had three months of warranty, but then Samsung said that I have one year. Don't know if that means I have two warranties or either att or Samsung was wrong.

I have three things refurbished, a Canon camera and printer, then this phone. So far only the phone has ever had a problem, but it was easy to get it fixed, so no big deal. I personally like to buy refurbished things, but I will only buy the ones with warranties.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fldude99:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bruce0750:
I called ATT first too see what options I would have, they offered to replace my refurbished i777 with skyrocket but I have to pay the difference. I didn't take that of course, then I think it was ATT suggested me to call Samsung, I might have gotten the idea my own, don't remember much about this part. then sent the phone to Texas and tracked the update on my phone everyday nervously cus my phone was root then restored to stock, afraid that Samsug might find out. But I guess they didn't. got my i777 back in 2 weeks. Since then flash and reflash like an addict, and nothing is wrong with this phone so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
I recently had to get my device repaired or replaced. Samsung Communication was clear and the turn-around was fairly quick. I prefer Samsung repair over getting an AT&T refurbished device; I've had bad experiences in the past with refurbished quality. It was a while ago, so other's opinions about refurbished service may be more accurate. I'll always prefer Samsung over AT&T though.

Anyways after 3 calls to them in a matter of 12 hours they finally shipped my second replacement that I've had of the S2. What pissed me off is I am currently without a phone and they said it would be 6 days before they got it to be or for 14.95 they would ship it next day. If anything they should be paying me for the fact that I cant use their service but it is what it is. /rant. Can't wait till my phone comes in so I can get some jelly bean going on though.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fldude99:
To those about to deal with ATT: I spoke to them today and the rep gave me some "good news" that they're out of the S2 but can send me the skyrocket. I said forget it, I'll send it to Samsung. So the rep says hold on, I put it on speaker for a few minutes, and she comes back to tell me she "found" a supposedly new S2 at another warehouse they can ship to me. So refusing the skyrocket is what needs to be done. So now with 14 days to return the device, it gives time to put the replacement through the paces
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
I just called about the camera not focusing and making that buzz sound. They said the i777 was backordered and would be replaced with a skyrocket. I said no, and asked if I could early upgrade or get anything else. They said no. I asked if a service center might have one, they said they can't verify the stock, but I could try. I really pushed for anything other than the skyrocket, politely, and they said no. It would be free, but my only option. I guess if the service center doesn't have one I'll call back and try again. I really want an S III, in red, but I could live until may when I qualify for upgrade with a One X.
