"Need help please!!!!" ??

Use proper topic titles, they need to be descriptive for people browsing forum. Titles should specifically describe your topic briefly not generic n00b crap like "need hlp plz" "help plz read" and "Need help please!!!!"

You will likely get more/better responses if you use common sense.

Looks like the children at xda have run off another dev, Nils is gone. I'll be glad when I can get rid of this phone, I'm so tired of all the rudeness and childishness.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
what the **** are you talking about nils didn't leave because of the community, he left because there was no interest in rooms based off stock sense.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
nils is gone?!?! WHYYYYY
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Says you. I am interested in ROMs that work...not hacks. I also apparently am one of the few that like using Sense ROMs. Nils delivered on that one. I was disappointed tonight when I read his post and realized his thread was locked/closed.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
just saw it. quite upsetting; nils is the man. his work was always quality stuff. after being away dealing wtih the nexus and s3, and then coming back to the rezound development section, all i can say is holy balls. wtf is going on there? seriously, there's like 238948923 new threads of these noname "developers" releasing stock roms based on the OTA....there's like 50 different versions of the same thing. what the hell? annoying.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
maybe ill release one too
[HTC Rezound] erisboxx:
**** this I'm going home!!
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
This is sad. I ran several of nilsp Roms. Too bad that he is leaving. His Roms were always as close to bug free as any custom ROM I've ever used. Only changed to try new ones.

He will be missed.
[HTC Rezound] RoyHinkley:
Well said.

I, too, was anxiously awaiting an update to an already great ROM. There are only two Sense 4 ROM that work reliably with all the functions that I need to work and that don't feel "dated", Business Sense and OnE XxX. I know many people are charmed by the snake but I've seen bug reports in that thread that I haven't seen or experienced in the other two. In fairness, maybe I should try it before I judge it but since I've been running Nils ROM I've haven't felt compelled to try anything else.

You think he left because of no activity in his threads? Read his posts more closely, I don't think that is the whole story.

As far as no activity, read the other threads. Most posts are because this or that doesn't work. You don't see as much of that here because people just download it and go. Then his thread gets buried because of the sudden proliferation of ROMs on the new leak and the recent developments in ASOP and that makes it worse. There seem to be quite a few dev wannabes in here now who are enjoying a little bit of attention. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that there are new people getting into ROM building and I know all of them have much more experience and expertise than I do. However, some of them need to learn some manners and have some respect for the experienced devs (maybe it's not so much the new devs as it is their fan base).

Just an opinion from some one watching from the sidelines.
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
He states that there are more than enough developers, and lack of interest in his roms, while also stating that certain devs were not thanking him for his mods. I think your claim of, oh i am so tired of the childishness and rudeness is bogus and you should be flamed for starting a thread like this. If you are gonna be mad at anyone be mad at the devs who did not thank him. If you want to cry publicly you have the right to do so but understand your broad statement should be more focused on those who did not thank him instead of people being childish.
[HTC Rezound] mbarry55:
Isn't it funny how just a few months ago the complaint(s) were about a lack of devs, and now you can't go through the 1st page in the dev section without tripping over a new ROM. Not saying it's bad, good, or other; just an observation. I did not run NilsP's roms but I didn't have to, to know they were solid, with a reputation like he had. It sucks when any established dev leaves.

Thanks for all your work, Nils.
[HTC Rezound] jawiler:
Let's not trash the "snake" without ever trying it, I've been running it for weeks with ZERO problems, it's an amazing ROM
[HTC Rezound] RoyHinkley:
If I offended you, I apologize. Yes, it is a broad statement based on what I've read in many posts in many threads on xda, especially the Rezound section, not just on Nils leaving. People using his work and not even acknowledging him is a part, and I think a big part, of what I'm talking about. There's not much cordiality left in these forums, people are too quick to dismiss and demean (yes, I think that is childish and rude as is not thanking some one when using their work). Look at what happened to Micromod when he posted his leaked OTA.

Did I just want to rant a little? As some one who reads much but posts very little, yes I did. Am I upset? I wouldn't say I'm upset. In the grand scheme of things this is more of just a mild annoyance.
[HTC Rezound] RoyHinkley:
I didn't mean to trash ViperROM, I was just saying I read about bugs that I didn't have in the other two. From what I've read it also has more features than the other two.
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
And nils was one of the only "cool"] ones. Smh.

[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
I am not debating that childishness occurs, I am just stating that there is no evidence from what I can find that, that's why he left. He states that devs were not thanking him for his work. I have always admired NILS as he is one of the most amazing devs I have ever come across. I too would be pissed if people couldnt do something as simple as give me credit for my work that I had put hours, days and weeks into it. Am I sad to see him leave, hell yes. I had talked to NILS way back in the day when I first got my Rezound and he is as nice as they come. He will be missed more than he knows.
[HTC Rezound] RoyHinkley:
I think having new devs is great, it just seems that some of the established devs aren't being treated with the respect they deserve. I may be way off base here - it could just be the natural progression of the developement community. This is just my opinion on what I've observed and I don't see everything and I don't know what goes on in private.

All I should have said is Nils, I wish you the best but I hope you change your mind and come back. There are plenty of people here who appreciate and respect your work.
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
Ooc, what respect should they be getting differently? Everyone appreciates and clicks thanks etc. And they became xda rock gods. Then some moved on and became humble and nice to new phones.. Then the cycle repeats. Not starting anything, just genuinely curious.

[HTC Rezound] RoyHinkley:
Maybe I read too much into his posts. I was probably a "last straw" type of feeling that compelled me to post. I should have just kept it to myself because now I feel like I'm becoming one of the people that I'm complaining about.
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
I think you have a right to be outraged, as I am. Just blame the right people. Like this - To all the devs who did not give proper credit to nils for his hard, wonderful work thanks a lot. He was an amazing dev and giving credit to the rightful owner of the work is as simple as stating such in the OP.

GOOD NEWS GUYS! NILS ISNT LEAVING. HE JUST POSTED THIS!

Scratch that.

I woke up this morning and realized I had nothing to do and that sucked. Since I love deving so much I am going to continue even if I am the only user HaHa

To put things in perspective, over the last 2 days there was only 6 downloads which led me to believe there was no more interest so why expend the effort. Just frustrating to go from hundereds or even thousands a day to virtually none.

I got thinking about it and that is still more than when I first started. I started doing this for myself many years ago and felt it was good enough to make available to others. So, I will continue to do it for myself and as I add or improve things I will post it.

Thanks for your support

[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Folks

I reopened both my threads. I think I was more frustrated with myself and the issues I am dealing with getting my next releases where I want them.

Not sure why I even commented about "Thanks" since I don't care about credits and everyone is welcome to use my work. As far as I am concerned that is what the forum is all about.

Thanks for the support

Nils
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Look at the post I made on your sense 4.0 thread :)
[HTC Rezound] RoyHinkley:
You're probably right, I was just a little irritated. I have closely followed three devs on here because I admired their work and now they are gone so I guess this just rubbed me the wrong way. Again, just my limited view on why they seem to leave. I don't reject other people's opinions and I know there are many people that have more insight into this than I do. Thankfully, I've draw some of you out and I welcome your posts. I'm here to learn, whether it be about Android or dynamics of this forum. As we learn our opinions change and I'm not afraid to change my opinion.

Edit: Glad to see I was wrong! Flame away!

Welcome back Nils!

Nils rims are one of the only ones I use. I've switched between his 4.0 and 3.6 roms a lot. I would stay with the 4.0 but the kindle app seems to have a problem with the 4.0 roms. I tried viper rim but still the same problem so I'm back to nils 3.6. Maybe we should all redownload his roms on a certain day to show him our appreciation. Lol
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
I'm glad you're not leaving, Nils. I didn't run your ROMs. That's nothing against them, as they seemed quite solid and quick, but they weren't what I was looking for. However, choice is always good, and variety is absolutely vital in this game to keep everyone pushing to be the best they can be. Not everyone is going to want AOSP, and keeping a variety of Sense ROMs to meet everyones needs is vital to the future of this phone.
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
^^^^^ This ^^^^^ My favorite ROM is Scott's CleanRom. Because it WORKS! All those other roms that are "Senseless" they only half work. HTC has Sense so interwoven into everything it's impossible to remove it all and when guys try, they end up with a half butchered rom that doesnt work very well.

After the official OTA of ICS came out, I went to Scott's facebook page and begged him to come back and make one final CleanRom based on official ICS, but he wouldnt :(

Im trying to make my phone more compatible with iSO, such as displaying emoji.

Its been suggested the best way to do so would be to root my phone. Could someone please give me some feedback on what that entails and how to go about it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MystikMajik:
I need to return this phone back to Samsung to repair my broken USB. But I need to flash it back to unroot it and flash it back to stock.

I have no USB capabilities whatsoever.

I have tried Mobile ODIN but this phone model is not currently supported or it doesn't detect the model.

I have been reading for hours now and I have not found a definitive solution that works for this phone.

Does anyone have any advice?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MystikMajik:
Does anyone know where I can find this?

He was linking to a flashable stock rom, kernel and recovery. The link is now gone... But this is what I need. something flashable since USB is gone.

Maybe someone knows how to make stock flashable? Or if anyone has a backup that is fully stock everything and is willing to help me out that would also be awesome.

Please please please please please!!! I need help!

You can use FUS Downloader to get the odin flashable tars or use the links provided below. I recommend you use fus downloader if you can, as it has faster download speeds though.

Thanks for the response! I feel like I'm on my own here...

Is this flashable with CWM? I have no ODIN capabilities. No USB. And Mobile ODIN doesn't work for this phone...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] namanjr:
It's odin only, but i can convert it for CWM if you like. Did you buy it from Telus, Koodo, or T-Mobile?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MystikMajik:
Its Telus! If you can do that it would be awesome... I'm at my wits end... You'd be helping me a lot!

I should have it ready to download soon, I'm just adding the stock recovery and then i should be able to upload. I'll update this post when it's up and tested.

EDIT : It flashed me completely to stock without error, but it came out as 351MB so i need to find a new place to upload. Shouldn't be too much longer.

EDIT 2 : I have it uploading to Dev-Host now and should be up in about 30mins.

EDIT 3 : Uploaded here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MystikMajik:
Well this has been quite the horrible week. I want to thank you for your work... Unfortunately it seems that I have lost root. In one of my previous attempts to go back to stock I flashed an unroot tmobile rom and it seems I'm now stuck with that and now unrooted. I'm guessing I'm screwed since there is no way to root without usb...

I want to shoot myself in the face...

Samsung is going to get a Telus S2 back with a Tmobile rom on it. There's no way they'll fix it now right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] namanjr:
It depends, do you still have a custom recovery? Also I know one-click root worked on Telus's Gingerbread rom so maybe a tool like that might work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MystikMajik:
Well it's stock recovery now... And would one click work without usb?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
have you tried to download su to see if maybe you just need to load that back up on your phone. If not there are programs like adbd Insecure adb wifi and goo manager that may somehow be able to get you back.

adbd Insecure - will allow you to push files over to your system even without root access

adb wifi - incase you need to send a recovery over to your sdcard and then use the proper commands to install

goo manager - has twrp 2.2.2.0 in it so if you install that program you flash their recovery through the app.

put the factory zip on your sdcard and hopefully voila!

Just some choices - hope one works and good luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] namanjr:
i just tried adbd on my own phone(since i never flashed back cm10 yet) and unfortunately when i start the app it asks for superuser.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MystikMajik:
Thanks for the replies! I'm gonna try goo manager right now...

But would something like this work?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1501719

Update: Goo Manager isn't really doing anything unfortunately... It won't install anything I download. Seems simple enough so I'm sure I'm not doing anything wrong there...

Update #2: Yes. All of the above seem to need root, and since I don't have root...

Thank you playya for the sugesstions!

Thank you namanjr for doing that work... I wish I had waited longer to flash the rom I did!

I think its game over. I've been trying for a week and there's not a lot of options to flash stock, root/unroot if your USB is broken... which seems ridiculous to me but it is what it is...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
My bad you do need root but damn goo won't let you flash recovery without root huh. Are you sure you can't put recovery image on sdcard and use adb wifi to send command to install recovery? Just thinking out loud
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] namanjr:
I don't think that will work, i used normal ADB to reinstall TWRP and it wouldn't flash until i used su.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MystikMajik:
What about this? http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/mot...a-update-zip-flash-through-recovery-wifi.html

Not our phone obviously... but with stock recovery shouldn't I be able to flash the official ota update? what is the stock recovery for?

EDIT: Sorry I'm just realizing the use of USB in that method... but still what is the stock recovery used for?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] namanjr:
It can flashed OTA updates, signed zips/md5s, wipes cache partition, and factory restore. I tried the ODIN md5 file for stock and it never worked so unless someone cracks/or knows Samsungs signature i don't think it's much use. Also if you flash a rom for anything other then phones that are compatible with ours(I727, I717, etc), you will brick.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MystikMajik:
Hmmm... and I'm assuming there isn't somewhere you can download the official samsung OTA updates?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] namanjr:
I seen a link somewhere back when 2.3.6 came out for T-Mobile but it was only an incremental update and Telus doesn't have any OTA updates.

Blazing Souls, the sequel to the fantastic Spectral Souls, is set to come out on the 30th. I know this is somewhat old news as it was mentioned a couple weeks back on multiple Android gaming websites but I just received confirmation over Facebook that the game will be Xperia Play optimized! This might not surprise many people who hold the "the last game they made was optimized so of course this one will be" mentality but our device is getting less support by the day so I for one never simply assume optimization will be present any more.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwPtC9fZNtA
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Damn, this is great news.

On PSP, it's too glitchy to even care about (just like Spectral Souls was too laggy to care about on PSP). If they've continued following the tradition of resolving the PSP version's issues, the Xperia Play will not only have taken the crown for the deepest Strategy RPG, but will have the definitive version.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ~iSamur@i:
But are spectral/blazing souls really good or not? On the psp I don't play them, I've played only disgaea, ff tactics and tactics ogre, so maybe I found another good tactical game
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
They are really goddamned awesome SRPGs... easily deeper than Final Fantasy Tactics and Disgaea for their combo/charge system alone.

...the PSP versions were marred with technical flaws, but if HyperDevbox continues their tradition of fixing everything that was wrong in the PSP release, then we've got a true landmark in Strategy RPG accomplishments on our phone. Spectral Souls is already here to check out, and with it being free of all the issues that plagued the PSP version, people have seen it in a new light... I don't see why Blazing Souls would be any different.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BrianChase:
Spectral Souls is hands down my favorite game on the Xperia Play. It is better than any other SRPG I have ever played and it comes with my highest recommendation. Can't say for the sequel since I don't have a PSP and am new to the series but if this is improved to the extent Spectral Souls was and retains a similar style with some new features and story then it should kick ass.
