[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
Sorry, just got out of the hospital..

I'm personally on Rootbox jellybean. It's carrier free and light (sounds like you like it light)

But with that being said, you can debloat (get rid of the carrier apps) with titanium backup. You can delete or even freeze apps (freezing is making the app not show in the app drawr and make it inactive). You just need to root the firmware you're on.

And I personally chose a set of two anker 1900mah batteries with an external wall charger. It doesn't require a bigger back and it basically triples the battery life :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MathewRB:
Hope your ok.

Yes I do like it light!!

Is Titanium Back the same sort of software as CWM which I have installed on my SD card?

Have you got a link for it?

I had noticed you had the anker 1900mah batteries which I had looked at but iam not to confident about buying batteries from ebay.

Can You charge the battery in the phone or do you have to charge it on the dock which means take it out of the phone each time?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
no ma8 Titanium backup is an application to backup and restore things like, contacts,apps, apps data etc as and when u want to.and also to uninstall or Freeze applications. titanium bkp app is available on Google Plat Stores.

while CWM recovery is there to install rom/kernel/modem zip files and also to wipe data/cache and do fixpermissions and also to make nandroid bakp of ur exsisting rom:)

We need to remove the superuser and its binaries first before rooting again

follow this:

-boot to CWM recovery

-flash the UNROOT zip file you already have

-clear cache partition

-reboot recovery

2. -flash Dorimanx kernel

test if you have root now and if titanium is working properly.

Hi,

I have found that my battery which currently is still the standard one drains very fast and my phone is getting very warm.

However I have noticed that once my battery hits 50% it cools down and does not deplete so quickly.

I do have a programme that is left running which is a VOIP / SIP client I use CSipSimple.

Is there something that I could try to get the phone to last longer on the battery?

I can only receive GPS Signal while navigating (either Navigon, Copilot, NavFree or Sygic) for about 15 to 25 minutes and then NOTHING. I have to turn off the Phone, REMOVE the BATTERY and Reboot in other to get GPS Signal back for another 15 to 25 minutes.

****Flash the phone back to Gingerbread RUU (2.xxxx):

I think the Newest Radio (2.2.xxxx) is the cause of GPS issue as well as the phone Overheating while GPS is Active. After flashing GB Radio (0.9.xxxx), GPS is back to work.

Hi everybody, I recently got a Koodo Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T9898D and I wanted to know if the rooting process for my device is the same as the rooting process for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989. I realize there is no section for Koodo's (or Telus') version of the phone on the website, so I had to post here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thatdude02:
You betcha! There is a forum here

I used this method and it worked great! Just make sure you use the 3.0.7 efghi signed version of Superuser. I managed to use the other one, but i got the superuser app, but no root access until I used the correct version :)

Anyway, there you are. Enjoy your SII X! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] temporary124:
thanks! I was going to use that guide or the galaxy 2 root "How to Root ICS/GB on T-Mobile Galaxy S2 SGH-T989!"

but both should work though. The guide you sent me says it's for 4.0.3, will it work for 4.0.4? And you're with Koodo right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thatdude02:
I used the guide on Android forums, only because there were pics, but both work and are the same. And yes, same procees, just use the Superuser 3.0.7 efghi signed version. And yup! No issues with Koodo whatsoever. :)

Rooting process for Koodo Mobile T989D

Oh okay, so did you use the process from the link you sent? And it seems the main difference between the two guides is that one uses Superuser 3.0.7 efghi signed version and one uses CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip. While they both should work, I was wondering what the differences between the Superusers were; I think 0.87 is better because it is compatible with future firmware upgrades
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thatdude02:
Well, there was a link to this guide on that forum -

http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-...d-ultimate-root-optimization-guide-steps.html

I used this guide only because it had a few more details than the other, but they are essentially the same steps. Also had some pics.

And about the superusers, i don't know the difference. :p However I was able to install superSU from the Play Store and also update the superuser version I was using after I obtained root.

So to answer your question, I have no idea haha. Personally I think it would be best to follow the guide, and then try to upgrade after rooting, but it's your choice.

Hopefully this helps, but if not, search is your friend :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] temporary124:

I've been using the GNex toolkit since I got my nexus and never had one issue. Even flashed stock 4.1.1 on it. My question is, why is everyone so against the toolkit? Why is it so dangerous? Please don't bash me because I came from an Atrix 2 and have only been using the nexus for a couple weeks but I'm just curious. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1469909

basically, the toolkits sometimes fail.. and fail hard. like at one point, the toolkit wanted to flash a verizon firmware on to a GSM phone (which can brick the phone). or something goes wrong, and the user has no idea how to fix it so the thread begins with "i used such and such toolkit, but i have no idea why my phone wont boot. HALP!"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lutyz:
I would like to say that the Toolkit actually is a shell of the adb command and fastboot command. That's all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Using a toolkit means clicking a few buttons and not thinking about what you're doing.

%90 percent of all "OMG BRICKED" posts begin with "I used _______ toolkit to unlock and root. I've been on ____________ for ________ weeks and flashed ____________ and now it won't boot!"

This in itself speaks leaps-and-bounds about the user.

Using a toolkit to unlock and root should have no impact on future usage.

If you used toolkitA and she used toolkitB the information is not relevant.

This leads me to believe they think the toolkit is doing some mystical process (it isn't) specific to that "method" or "program."

Then, say, I want them to ADB push something to their phone.

Or ADB pull their SDCard to save it.

They have no idea what I'm talking about...and I (and others) are stuck trying to teach them how to set up ADB and get the drivers correctly installed with a broken device.

If you have ADB set up...and know it's working...it's 100x easier to fix things when they go wrong.

But if you're "bricked" and then tell us "adb devices" isn't showing anything and all commands list "no device found" we don't know if it's because ADB/drivers are set up incorrectly or if your phone is truly hosed to the point of being unrecognized...again, leading to more guesstimation in the debugging process.

Also, the toolkit will say "done" and not spit out any errors that help to debug if something goes wrong.

All-in-all...

Any user who chooses the toolkit over a few simple commands is going to end up with more problems...due to lack of knowledge.

Doing things manually is not only easy; but a learning process.

I'd recommend you look at my guide.

You don't need to unlock/root again or anything...

But get ADB/Fastboot set up and push a file to your phone to see how it all works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkJatrix:
Right packaged all in one folder with basic commands. But wouldnt the main cause of toolkit errors be user error? Because all the commands are set for each option example: if I choose to unlock the boot loader on GSM Maguro 4.1.1 then it'll 100% always unlock my boot loader correct? But if I, by mistake, choose the Toro etc and it messes me up then I could in theory blame the toolkit because I didn't pay attention therefore I would've suspected the toolkit as the culprit. So I'm saying, errors with the toolkit are all basically user errors right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
no. its not all user error. this is an example: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1803743
