[HD2 General] Nigeldg:
Not too sure of the answer, never heard of this happening. Is the battery charged? Are the battery pins making proper connection with the battery?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Yea, battery pins, gotta be.

(Although the "doesn't boot up at all anymore" is in chocolate teapot territory as far as usefulness goes,,,, does it bootloop? Not come on at all? Vibrate but stay blank? Please elaborate, @op. )
[HD2 General] Unscrewed:
EDIT: OMG! I bent the pins back down (they were all pointing up so I thought they were supposed to), and the phone boots again.. thanks so much please have sexual intercourse with me...

...can the pins break if this happens too much and how do I prevent this from happening?

EDIT 2: I have one more question: Why doesn't the status change from: "Serial" to "USB" in the boot menu when I connect the USB? I installed the drivers.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Yeah the pins can break,, its not the best designed battery compartment, the pins catch on the edge of the plastic around the connector plates on the battery. Only sure fire way to avoid it is be real careful,,, I hold the phone face down left hand, then right thumb against the lower middle of battery(by sim card) to prevent the bottom lifting whilst index finger lifts the top left, then when battery is at 45 degrees push upwards with thumb to slide battery away from contact pins before lifting out.

Tomorrow's lesson, sucking eggs.

Next week, distinguishIng between arse and elbow.
[HD2 General] bobby1503:
Does the phone charge while the usb is connected?? Check the usb connection is clean and clear from any dirt or dust that could cause a short. Also make sure the battery pins are not touching each other.

Would also double check the drivers installed are working correctly as they can be a real issue in the beginning.
[HD2 General] Silencer96:
It's a dead battery. I had the same problem before; all you have to do is shell out $2 for a cheap generic battery off eBay.

I have problems connecting my OB via USB. First , i've tried 2 no-named micro usb cables but they would only charge my phone . The PC doesn't respond ( no sounds , no connections). I installed and reinstalled LG OB drivers from the official website on 3 different laptops. Now , a friend of mine gave me his Optimus p500 original Usb cable. Same result , the phone is only charging. I really dont know what to do. My phone wont recognize the USB connection and neither the PC won't recognize it.

Suggestions ? :(

PS : stock rom 2.3.4 v20q and i tried factory reset too.

i have the stock GB 2.3.4 v20q . I tried 3 different cables and 3 different laptops but neither the phone or the laptops recognize it. The phone is only charging...... I cannot do any data transfer between the phone and the PC.
[LG Optimus Black] PabloFiasko:
I saw the same with my OB. I tried different cables and different PCs. My phone even did not charge properly, most often it only charged when I turned it off completely (sometimes even this did not help, removing / inserting battery helped in this case). Sometimes it charged very slowly but it did show it is charging - just like it did not recognize it has been plugged in. In this situations the whole phone became very hot.

I send the OB to the warranty, they replaced the usb port. This did not help, then I send it to warranty again, they replaced the board, since then everything is fine.

Somehow my younger nephew got hold of my phone and thought it would be funny to use a dirty rubber on the back of it. Luckily I caught him in the act just in time before he done more damage to it and now my phone has a medium sized patch thats quite dark and noticible. While its not a major problem its kinda spoilt the beautiful finish of the back of HOX. I tried using a damp cloth and scrubbing real hard to get rid of it but it didnt make the slightest difference. Is there any way I can get rid of it and bring it back to the normal look or am I stuck with this? Attached a photo to give you a better idea of what it looks like, it actually doesnt look that bad in the picture but trust me its alot worse.
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Try a bit of CIF mate, I heard that works.

Be careful!

I have no idea what can you do at this situation d ... I'd probably use a damp cloth but since it didn't work .... >.< Buy a case for it if you don't want the patch to be seen or , this might be nuts but use paint thinner LOL

Why was he humping your phone?
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
a brand new backing is around sixty bucks, just change it
[HTC One X] PhoenixFx:
What is dirty rubber? Was it something like one of those hard abrasive ink erasers? If it was one of those then most probably that area is worn off. Probably nothing much you can do except change the entire case, or you could try to rub the rest of the surface with the same thing to give it a uniform look :p . I did something similar with one of my old Siemens phones, it had a painted back which was fading away due to normal wear, so I took a very soft sandpaper and sanded away all the paint to give it a nice uniform matte black finish. It turned out pretty good considering how it looked before ;).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScytherNL:
SOLVED: Thanks to ares05 I already got the rom I wanted! I didn't find that specific rom in the first place... Anyway, anyone googles for this same matter can use my thread as an Q&A. The only thing I did to get Neatrom Lite working was putting it on Internal SD (Without wiping data). And flashing it (choose zip from internal SD) from the custom CWM recovery, then reboot. (Yes for beginners, CWM is an requirement!). For Nexus layout lovers try regular Cyanogenmod, Trebuchet or MIUI. They are all great.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

Question to myself: did I researched, googled and watch the video upon registration?

Yes, but that doesn't solve my specific problem or provide enough information to try the risky situation.

Problems:

I have trouble upgrading from Android 2.3.5 to 4.0 through Odin3 v1.85.

It's very unclear what Rom I need to get to flash.

I flashed through Odin3 Android 4.0 before, through reading a lot and accepted the try and ended up getting boot loops. So I flashed back my android 2.3.5 XWKJ5. that gave me CWM but also voided the possibility to upgrade through Samsung Kies what I regretted later.

Then I thought, Okay... I'll get the basic Custom Rom: Cyanogenmod 9.1 then, through wiping cache/factory and dalvik cache and flashing through zip file on SD card everything went great. But I was unhappy with CM9 because the playstore app didn't work anymore and I didn't liked the overall layout of the camera, apps and some other minor bug I found - I forgot... So I went back to Android 2.3.5 with nandroid backup.

Also I have ROM manager but that doesn't let me update the specific CWM 6.0.1.0 rom as it says "An error occurred while downloading your recovery." Probably more people have this?!

What I need to know to solve this matter:

I want the default (stock) android 4.0+ ICS firmware on my phone with root. Can someone provide me the exact link of the .tar/.tar.md5 file needed to upgrade my phone to that android version or higher if the rom is available for it (4.1.3?). Since I find it hard to search the correct rom needed to get this result. The rom you might provide me can be slightly modded but that's okay, as long as I have all the ICS features and the layout it naturally comes with.

All the current Phone specific data you might found useful in helping me:

Samsung Galaxy S2 (I-9100)*

Android 2.3.5

Gingerbread.XWKJ5

CF-Root 5 Kernel (Root, CWM, Superuser).

+Has made an Nandroid backup through recovery.

+Backed up my apps through Titanium Backup.

*It's no AT&T or T-Mobile version, luckily.

TL;DR: I WANT TO UPGRADE ANDROID 2.3.5 TO 4.0+, WHAT SPECIFIC ROM I NEED TO FLASH?

I hope someone good willing enough is there to help me and I will check this thread often for any replies,

Scy.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ares05:
There are a bunch of ROMS here which will give you the stock ICS look and feel. I haven't tried all of them but if that's the kinda ROM you want then you could check out the ROM that I'm currently using, Neatrom Lite. Follow the link on my signature to the ROM thread. The latest version for Neatrom is 4.0.4 and you could download it from the link given on the first Page of the thread.

If you wanna try something else you check out the following links :

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScytherNL:
Yeah, that's sort of what I want. The biggest reason of wanting to update is that my brother has stock ics 4.0 and his battery consumes like 50% less energy in locked mode(s), factor in the fact that his update cleaned a lot of the processes and unused apps. Also I am fond of the original stock look - especially the camera controls.

I will try neatrom (lite) later tonight I checked out the official forum Page, looks very very to my liking. I am so excited, thanks for showing will report later if it worked out. :)

- EDIT -

Yaaaay! Everything went flawlessly, it's cool that there is no Wipe needed as the forum thread indicates. I don't know if it works fluidly yet, but it seems everything is up and running like if it was original ICS. I think the Siyah kernel helps alot in battery usage which means alot to me because I travel alot. I will keep this rom for a long while if no bugs/freezes pop up! Seems so promising, thank you thank you thank you~~!!

Hi I have A Galaxy S2 i9210T and in the respective forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1593061&page=40 i am advised to flash a radio after installing this new rom (Embryo 5.1) question being is that really necessary as my Wifi & Reception are okay, if i flash the wrong radio or something goes wrong, can that cause a brick?

Thanks in advance :laugh:

There isn't a forum for my phone GT-i9210T yet so anyone able to help??
[General Questions and Answers] RBarnett09:
Yes.

Always be careful when flashing a radio. If you flash a bad one, you'll have an expensive paperweight on hand.

If you're skeptical, look for or wait for feedback from other users who have flashed it.
[General Questions and Answers] Hungbi:
It's not that scary :D

Remember your current radio, search for it and download to your PC and your phone. Now flash the one recommend by the Rom's developer. If there is something wrong, flash back the old one. There's still be a chance you brick your phone but it's really small.
[General Questions and Answers] brenno88:
Hey guys I didnt bother, sounds too risky,

got CM10 working on it finally, (doesnt require a new radio) Telstra/Samsung have been real slack, ICS was meant to be released like April i think of this year, still don't have it, so im pretty pleased with the devs for it and look forward to more CM builds :)

Please be more careful giving advice hungbi I have not found a radio for the 4g version of S2 its not that common. These are the specs of the radio and I found similar but don't wanna flash something that does not match it 100% and brick my phone

Network:h

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

[General Questions and Answers] RBarnett09:
IF flashing a corrupt radio doesn't prevent the phone from accessing the bootloader, this is true.

---------- Post added at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------

If it works anything like my phone does, you can flash to ANY ROM you wish without changing the radio.

Only worry about flashing a new radio if your signal is horrible or drops.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
This pertains specifically to the recent LG release of ICS (with the NVIDIA accelerated hardware drivers) for the SU660 (Korean version of the Optimus 2X) and the lack of developer interest in porting it to the P990 and P999 versions of the same phone.

Well, what can you do. When Samsung released source for GS2(T989) it was a matter of weeks where CM9 was released and now there is a Stable release for device.

Kinda sucks cause HTC won't release the source/drivers for Ruby. Otherwise they too would have the CM9/CM10 love.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
As far as I remember, one should NOT be able to connect to the network after removing the battery cover as it breaks a circuit of some sort. After flashing the latest firmware that was leaked with the ICS "pre-"OTA guess what. I can connect to the network even without the battery cover.

While that is a good thing, since yesterday, I have been unable to place calls specifically to people on AT&T. While a friend of mine with a Gnex on Verizon was able to make calls to the exact same person, standing a mere feet away from me, my phone refuses to make calls to people on AT&T and always says "Call has been lost" with a popup notification "The network is busy. Please try again later." By the way, I am on UKB ROM version 2.1...

In interest of full disclosure, I didn't flash ONLY the radio. I flashed the other .img's present in the leaked firmware. Now, is it safe to downgrade the radio only or will it brick my phone due to incompatibilities with the other .img images in that leak?

I will try downgrading the radio and hope for the best.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tincbtrar:
Lifetaker, interesting you bring up this point.

However, I noticed that on the most current GB radio (.322 i think?) I had the same issues making calls to AT&T customers.

I also had issues with calling a landline and Verizon customers here and there...using CM9.

Moral of the story? I just think its Verizon. There is no a dead spot in my area which was never there before, and my calls are getting more and more difficult to complete in random spots.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
I haven't had any if these issues.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
It is not Verizon in my case. Two of my friends are also on Verizon. I used their phones to call someone who was on AT&T. It worked. I then tried it from my phone from the same spot. It didn't. I now downgraded to the latest GB Radio and reflashed my ROM. I can now make calls to AT&T guys.. I don't think it is necessarily the Radio, as I was using that radio with a couple ROMs for a few days without a hiccup. Before yesterday, I had a few random "call lost" issues on this radio but it was a consistent issue since yesterday. I now don't have this issue after reflashing the ROM AND going on a older radio. It may be the radio, it may be the ROM, but quite frankly all this started happening since I flashed the leaked ICS ROM and before that my phone didn't have such problems.. Hmm...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
Okay, so I finally found out why I was unable to call some people. Sense 4 ROMs have this weird bug wherein if a phone number starts with a "+1" or any such International code, it won't make a call. So, it wasn't the fault of the Radio. In fact I started having this issue with the latest GB Radio as well. I can call perfectly well by removing that +1...
