[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
No prob.

Some people do flash quite often, yes, but I don't believe they completely change everything. Usually they flash a different ROM because hey - ROMs are the fun part. Each one is unique and its fun to play around.

Touchwiz is a pretty nice interface IMO but its personal opinion, some people hate it. Either way, your choice on that. I do believe some skins are big resource and RAM hogs, especially Sense (despite it looking very nice) and the old Motoblur. That's when flashing a vanilla Android ROM really helps.

The S2 should be getting a JB upgrade in the next few months, so if you plan on staying stock and taking the OTA, make sure to only freeze bloatware (not uninstall) and do NOT install a custom recovery. Rooting these days are pretty easy, its just that some old timers dislike one click root methods because you don't know what you're getting into and you don't fully understand what you're doing to your phone. Little secret: I've only rooted with one click root methods ;)

Yes just like a jailbroken iPhone you can install the .apk however it is available without root.

When I say no - no I mean we can't discuss it on xda. It's against the rules
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrazyKong:
Yes I was aware the S2 would be, or should be getting JB in the next few months. I'm more than happy to wait for that. I have found one program that enables you to one click root the phone, but it's a bit misleading as you have to first flash a file using ODIN, thus it's not one click on that sense. What is the program you use for rooting may I ask?

Maybe I got lucky but my phone is unbranded and only contains 2 apps. Both can be uninstalled. As for freezing the bloatware, I'll have to read up more on what services and things I can freeze safely.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
SuperOneClick is by far the most popular one click root solutions. It doesn't support all devices, however. If it doesn't work on your S2, that method you found (flash a file via ODIN first and I'm assuming the next step is a one click root?) seems pretty simple. As long as you don't mind doing a few extra steps, there are many methods for the SGS2 because of its popularity. Make sure the instructions to root are for your specific model, becaused there are many variants of it.

The reason why I said not to uninstall bloatware and only freeze is because when you update, you have to have all the apps the phone came with (if its uninstallable stock, then it should be fine), unroot, then update for it to work correctly. Having a custom recovery like Clockworkmod also causes problems when updating. You'll have to stick with the stock recovery.

I called T-Mobile tonight to change my HTC One S to my wifes account due to picking up this bad boy and an automated voice came on while I waited and said that there was going to be an update for my device next week.

Im hoping we're talking 4.1.1 but I guess its better than guessing IF instead of when, just thought of another thing.... what if its for the One S and not the GS3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krackerjac:
I believe the one s is receiving a update to 4.0.4

Don't hold your breath, it would take T mobile 2 months after the international S3 gets it...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Orical:
I have the One S and its at 4.0.4 already, hell it could be for my daughters phone too but I agree with nightfox because T-Mobile is well known for dragging their feet on the updates in the past.

Hey guys,

This is my first post on these forums. I have a stock Vodafone NZ Samsung Galaxy S i9000 and am wanting to root it and install CM9 on it but have no experience whatsoever with this sort of thing so a bit of help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm hoping someone here wouldn't mind directing me to the right files and explain what exactly I'm supposed to do to root my phone and then install the new ROM?

Hey guys, I was using LG notification for my notification light on my LG Nitro HD (P930) Anyway, it hasn't been working for the past couple of months and I wondered if anyone else has a different program that works. I don't need any fancy colors just a flashing light for text messages would be great. It worked for a while on CM9, but now it's not! Thanks
[LG Nitro HD] SeriousGeorge:
I think it stopped working when the kernel changed a month or two back. I don't think there is any way to do notifications now, but I'd love to know if there is.
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
The guy who wrote touch LED notifications has his source up on github, I was considering seeing if I couldn't adjust it for the new kernel.

What was the last version of the CM9 kernel that the app supported?

Just went to the github and there was a commit made 2 days ago that "adds support for JB for P930"

might wanna try it out

[General Questions and Answers] Dark viper:
Hi, I followed the procedure for rooting and flashing galaxy s2 gt-i9100 perfectly. I also downloaded the files for my device only and not any other device. The problem started 2 days back when I was on resurrection remix jelly bean rom with Aliyah kernel. I started to randomly not recieve calls. My friends complained that it would go straight to voicemail. So I took it to the service center and they told me the motherboard was screwed. They installed a new motherboard and the phone was working fine until I flashed cyanogenmod 10 with their own kernel. The problem reappeared. Is the problem because I installed the rom or what?
[General Questions and Answers] mikef:
Never heard of such a thing, I do not believe that a custom ROM that was compiled for the correct phone model and flashed correctly is likely to screw up the motherboard. Make the phone act funny such as losing calls? Sure, that could happen and could be the ROM or kernel or firmware, but the motherboard? I don't believe so.

I would flash the stock ROM and kernel back and see if the problem occurs again before drawing any other conclusions.
[General Questions and Answers] KcLKcL:
Have you tried switching baseband?
[General Questions and Answers] MontyPyFly:
It could be a bad flash, an incompatible Rom, a conflicting app, bad signal or just bad Carma :)

I too doubt it can affect a motherboard physically. You can brick your phone when installing if something goes extremely wrong (very rare these days), but the physical board should be just fine.

Did you flash back to stock before taking it to the service center? They might not even be able to read the phone's software if it's not stock.

Most will just send you away if they see you have been flashing roms :-/

I hope it was under warranty, because if they "replaced the Mother board" on your dime, I think you got hosed. It worked fine, because they set it back to Stock.
[General Questions and Answers] gesange:
I think they saw that you flashed a custom ROM and just reversed it to stock and told you they changed the motherboard cause i doubt it is the custom ROM fault.....just yesterday i rooted and flashed such a device and works fine :)

Maybe its even the baseband version the problem.....once a rom didnt booted up.on a galaxy 5 and after a changed it the device runned well :)
[General Questions and Answers] Yozger:
Maybe the new custom rom found other cell site for you always check the network and signal.

Does the GSM Galaxy Nexus come stock with built-in settings for Wifi and USB tethering that allow tethering on networks such as T-Mobile? I know these settings should be a part of the stock android experience, but I haven't been able to find any information definitively saying a stock new nexus includes this out of the box.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hongzhou94:
The GSM Nexus from the Play Store has options for USB tethering and WiFi hotspotting, and they do work without purchasing the option from T-Mobile, but if you do it and TMo finds out about it they will disable it for a period of time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Yes the Play Store Nexus has tethering out of the box. WiFi, USB and Bluetooth are all there and not blocked.

Well, T-Mobile can't do anything to disable your tethering because they don't run the software/firmware on your phone. You buy your data and they will let you use it.

What T-Mobile likes to do is detect your browser's UAstring and if they see that it's a desktop one (like Chrome), they will redirect all websites to a tethering up-sell page. If this does happen, it is extremely easy to get around by using a Chrome extension to change your UAstring. It seems pretty sporadic though, as some months they like to do it and others they don't. YMMV.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hongzhou94:
That's what I meant about disabling, the redirect thing. Up until now I had no idea that you can get around it. I'll have to check out the fix you talked about.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] D-Trixxx:
I was wondering if someone could detail to me a sure-fire way to make the jump from GB to ICS. I've tried twice now and both times I got stuck booting into a blue CWM without being able to load a ROM at that point. I was able to boot Aroma but after trying to recover from there I got stuck at the Galaxy S screen. Yes I followed the instructions very carefully. Is there a way to do this via Odin or Heimdall?

Any help would be tremendously appreciated.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rkkaranrk:
Stock GB with CWM > CM 9 flash twice first from red recovery and then again from blue > then JB.

Do a full wipe before and after all the flash.

I know u said u tried this way buy it did not worked for u just give it a try from scratch one more time.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] D-Trixxx:
Thanks rkkaranrk. The one thing I didn't do in your instructions was a wipe before and after each flash. Instead I wiped once before I began. Could this be the problem? Is this a common problem? I've seen some mention the same issue in the Dark Knight ROM thread that said they have the same issue but wasn't sure this has to do with the ROM or the migration from GB to ICS in general.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rkkaranrk:
It could be any thing which cause bootloop so its always better to wipe, I always do anand never faced any bootloops Just give it try.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wevsspot:
I'm going to give it a go today too. I've had a hard time convincing myself to leave Aeon though. It's been a rock solid / stable ROM..............
[Samsung Infuse 4G] captemo:
it does sound as if you missed a step. OP states you wll get stuck at Galaxy S screen.

you then pull battery and reflash again along wth the wipes.

i did wipes in recovery, then on second flash (in Aroma) did the full wipe version. install went exactly as described.

loving 99.9% of the Paranoid Android ICS. may want to take that for a test drive for a bit first beings they can be similar from what i know (which isnt much) from flasing one of first versions of JB

thanx for all efforts in development, biting my lip on flashing JB.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] D-Trixxx:
Thanks for all the replies so far.

@captemo: I followed the instructions in the Dark Knight thread exactly but maybe those instructions need to be updated because they never mentioned multiple wipes. There is no mention of getting stuck @ Galaxy S screen either but that isn't what happened at first. It kept bootlooping into blue CWM. It was only after that I tried to recover with Aroma that I got stuck, probably not the the wisest move on my part however.

I will try the Paranoid ICS build next since it sounds like you have had success with it and it looks like a good one. Just so I am clear on doing this can you list the steps you took to load this ROM? I noticed there are two variants, one with and one without the Aroma installer.

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Pony Express:
The Aroma installer is nice but in my opinion, based on my experience and reports from others it is too problematic on the Infuse. Would really suggest not using versions with it, at least not on your first flash.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] D-Trixxx:
Thanks Pony. I'll heed that advice and wait on captemo has to say regarding the steps he took to upgrade. I really don't feel like recovering a third time. :p
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Pony Express:
+ 10. :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] D-Trixxx:
I had another thought, could Voodoo lagfix be the source of my issues? At the time I had the /Voodoo/disable-lagfix folder on my SDCard
[Samsung Infuse 4G] captemo:
WOW, somebody waiting for MY advice??? are you sure you havent been sipping on grandpa's cough syrup?

Pony i'm sure has more experience than myself and is merely expressing experiences that others and maybe he himself have had. truth is every phone is different and will react different.

i do like the Aroma myself. allows you to install some apps automatically.

i did nothing special than follow OP slowly and carefully to the T. doing this, i have never had problems flashing anything.

if i do anything special it is carefully choosing what i wish to flash. when lookin for new ROM, i go to the last page and start reading backwards. that shows me the most recent problems and issues people may be having. if its a problem i cant handle, i dont flash.

i am not taking away from developers here because they are ALL amazing and i wish i could do some of these things. as for the Dark Knight rom, i download, but never flashed. i just didnt think the development was progressing enough for me.

thats just me.

good luck hope you like Paranoid Android. i like the tablet mode, though print can be small for old eyes like mine just changed the font to something BOLD.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] D-Trixxx:
The reason I wanted your advice was because you had successfully made the jump from GB to ICS. The Paranoid thread assumes you are starting from ICS so there are no instructions to go from GB to ICS even thought the ICS ROMs are still there.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] captemo:
anybody on ICS or JB as made that jump, obviously with sucess. since Paranoids development has jumped to JB there are a couple of small differences in install (GAPPS for ex.) the first 80 pages still deal with the ICS developments of the ROM.

even though the OP has changed to address install of JB, if you go past the first couple of pages and all the congrats of the new ROM, you will get to where any of your questions will be answered. Scott and team are very attentive and if you read read read, questions and concerns are all addressed.

if then you are happy with ROM and are dying to try JB, i think page 80 is where JB discussion begins.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
The GB to ICS process should be the same for any rom. You can use cm9 or uniyumaporn to get to ics and then flash jb.

First, be aware once you are in ICS, your recovery will be filled with rainbows due to the lack of GB bootloaders (I'm assuming you don't have those).

1) wipe data, cache, dalvik (format /system is optional)

2) flash ics rom

3) reboot (Not "reboot into recovery")

4) you should hang at kernel splash (galaxy s screen).. remove battery and use 3 finger combo to boot into recovery.

5) wipe again and flash

Sent from my sweet & buttery Infuse
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Goneeuro:
I did this process two days ago. I went from factory att GB to ICS following the instructions for uniporn. Once I had uniporn fully booted and running I then rebooted back into CWM and followed the instructions in the cm10 thread.

The only thing to watch for is in the uni instructions. It still says to flash gapps. You don't have to do that now because they are included in build 40.

How did you update to GB by the way? That will tell us if you have GB or froyo boot loaders
