[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick61:
Hi,

I've succeeded to root my i9100 with the universal method described here (thank you Phil3759):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746794

As a newbie I am, I wasn't able to ask questions in that thread, so I'll take my chance here.

I would like to know several things:

1. Which one of the following methods is the "cleanest" one for unrooting, if I need to use warranty:

a. with the unroot file posted in the mentioned above thread

b. with odin and downloaded original firmware, with phone started in download mode

c. with Kies "emergency recover" option

2. The home+power key combination for capturing the screen is not working anymore after root. Is it only me, or is a normal behaviour ? (Of course I'm using now a screen capture app, but just curious).

3. If there will be an update for the original firmware, do I need to unroot first to aply that update ?

4. cwm 6012 from the above mentioned thread is working only temporary. There is a method to burn it permanently ? How ?

5. And finally, does anyone knows an app able to keep a log with date and time, for each app (system or not) that is using internet connection (both 3g and wifi)? Usually, all the monitoring apps I've found, keep track of the amount of traffic, and a per day total, but I need a more detailed monitor, something like "who is using my connection now" and "who was using my connection in the last 30 minutes".

Thanks a lot for your support,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yokuyuki:
1. Define cleanest. B would return it to completely stock and clean out everything.

2. Rooting shouldn't affect the ability to take a screenshot. I was under the impression that it was ROM dependent.

3. Don't think so, but you may lose root.

4. Flash a rooted kernel. I think method 2 would do it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick61:
1. Of course, cleanest means to be able to use warranty, and that "bad guys" to not detect the phone was previously rooted

2. That's what I also thought, so maybe anyone used the same method to root, and experience the same issue or not

3. Could you be a little bit more precise ? ;)

4. Aha, thanks

5. ?

Thank you,

Peace

Hit Thanks & It will Disappear

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yokuyuki:
1. I'm assuming you used Method 1 to root it. Do you get a yellow triangle when you boot your phone?

3. You shouldn't need to unroot.

5. Not aware of any. Sorry.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick61:
1. No, I don't. BTW, the method in that thread assures from the begining that there will be no triangle.

3. Aha, thanks

Thank you,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick61:
Unfortunately no, it's not working.

I must emphasize that this is not a real issue for me because I'm using a screencap app, but could be a bug for that method of rooting, if there are others experiencing the same issue, and maybe it must be signaled as a bug in that thread.

Thank you,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
1.I use b.

2.I use screenshot it app.

3.No.But you should lose root.Mobile Odin has an "everoot" function though.

4.You can flash a kernel like siyah/dream kernel.

5.Don't know.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Home + Power should still take a screenshot. However, you have to hold it down for quite a while for it to register.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yokuyuki:
1. If you flash via odin, it will cause the triangle to appear so I'd probably use their unroot script.

For me, it's very picky about the timing. I have to press both simultaneously and hold for 2-3 seconds. If I press them slightly off, I get the multitasking screen.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick61:
AHA, the timing AND the simultaneous press was the answer !! It's still working for me also.

Anyway, I'm very sure it was easyer to do it before rooting... but does not really matter.

So, with their unroot script you think it's the way to do it right... ok.

Does anyone have an idea about that app for monitoring and logging internet connections, in such a way to be able to know who is using data connection at every moment of time ?

Thank you very much,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick61:
Aha, thank you, especially for 1 and 3.

Thank you,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
No probs.But one thing to consider is to get away from stock kernel if you are on 4.0.4 and you have insane chip.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick61:
Hmmm, could you go into further detail ? It scares me a little bit...

I am on stock 4.0.4 (specifically BVLPH kernel and BVLPE modem).

What means "insane chip" ?

Thank you,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spiralzz:
Stock 4.0.4 kernels aren't safe if they are rooted. The bug is that when you do a factory reset or wipe any partition, your phone won't work any way, and you'll have to send it to Samsung. The workaround to be safe from that bug is: either don't root using cf-kernel, or flash a custom kernel like siyah from www.gokhanmoral.com or just stay on stock kernel if you're not interested in rooting.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Spiral,someone said also doing a backup in that scenario can also lead to brick.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spiralzz:
Maybe, maybe not, i am not aware whether doing a backup triggers that or not (depends on the kernel, I guess) but what I do know is that a backup via custom kernel is the safest way.

A little late are we with this sex tape. Better late then never :P
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
This reeks of a way to get members to sign up for a new forum..

You took the same exact files Gonzo got from the Sprint store (and never credited him mind you), put them all in one zip file instead, re-hosted those and also re-hosted Odin then came to the XDA dev section with a link pointed to a forum to get those files and with a disclaimer about not re-hosting the files.. :rolleyes: Is this some sort of joke?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sextape:
Actually never got the files from this gonzo fellow you speak of check your self before you accuse me of anything.

I originally released that new Odin and other files.

And no one has to sign up on our forums.. so please F+++ off .....and I say that in a nice way
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rwilco12:
Lol I think you need to check your sources before throwing stones. Sextape is quite possibly the single largest source of Samsung leaks for our community.

Yes, he has his own forum where he posts things but he also posts them as available for download here. There are one or two things which are sxtp-developers exclusives that yes he uses to get people to his forum but he doesn't advertise those ones here.

Yes, someone else may have posted the same files from a different source but that doesn't mean that Sextape stole it from him.

As for the no mirrors and such? Every developer, poster, etc on XDA has the right to say they don't want something mirrored elsewhere. It helps maintain the integrity of the files and ensures that credit is given where credit is deserved. Did Sextape develop these? Well we really don't know. We just know that he somehow got access to the file and posted it for the rest of us. Does he deserve credit, even gratitude for putting his neck on the line for us? I sure think so. :D If you disagree, just don't hit his thanks button. If that doesn't cut it for you and you feel others need to be involved, report him to the mods. They can be the ones to make the decision and settle things fairly.

So in the future rather than degrade and deride lets try to look at it from both sides. Its like my momma always said, "Son if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all." ;)

If I have flashed my phone over to work on Page Plus, which is a prepaid phone company that works on Verizon's network, might this mess it up? I'm scared to start flashing modems over, since I don't exactly know what changed when they flashed me to Page Plus. I can't afford to lose that.

Thx in advance...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] arionfrost:
Yeah. Big fat f$%@ you buddy. Sexxtape has been doing leaks for the Epic Touch forum for quite a while. There's nothing wrong with having more sources and mirrors to files that we need to find. You have no idea how hard it is to find a root method for the Evo 4G right now, because all the mirrors to tools went down not too long ago and took the files with them.

Multiple hosts for similar tools are always good thing, and Sextape is legit. So shut up and put up. That's all I'm gonna say about that.

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------

Damn.

I didn't notice there was a page 2.

Me: calls out poster for being a ****, by being a ****, in defense of an awesome developer. See apology of poster. Now feels like a ****, for being a ****.

In other news: I got my girlfriend an GS2 Epic Touch last night, running the leak FI03 on both our phones. Rock solid build, pretty much on par with FF18. So I am looking to put her Nexus 4G on craigslist. Should I be flashing this file to return to a stock setup? Will it be ok for activation? Currently running CM9 on it, and that doesn't do well with Activations. I plan on keeping the bootloader unlocked for the next person, but if it can't be helped, no biggie.

xiaomi seems to go the same way with the upcoming mi2.

one running stock android and the other one with miui.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiqudDeth:
It would be great if the next Nexus phone came out similarly priced to the GSM GNex. I think it would go a long way towards showing people that $650 is not the best price for phones and are only being propped up by ridiculous post-paid contract shenanigans.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osi13:
If the "Nexus 4" is under $400 off contract, and is pentaband GSM, I'll probably buy it. With the T-Mobile $30 data plan, and the Straight Talk $45 "unlimited" plan, I do not see a purpose for buying a phone on contract. It's still cheaper to go pre-paid even if the phone costs $599, but I'll probably wait until it comes down considerably in price. I try to swap my phones once a year.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
The article's highly speculative; he's drawing conclusions from out-of-context evidence like a quote about patent restrictions and the Nexus 7 strategy. The N7 strategy, however, came about due to necessity: consumers just weren't buying more expensive tablets, and they needed to kill the kindle fire "renegade".

Phones, on the other hand, are selling fine for high costs (I would guess, largely due to the BS subsidy/contract system) and google would risk scaring its oems by delivering a dirt cheap competitor.

The next Nexus may indeed be relatively cheap on the play store, but I'd guess the starting price would be at least $500. After all, the $400 price wasn't introduced until the GN was around 6 months old. Even now, the GN is just $50 below that.

The only way I could think of introducing a $400 phone would be to make it only a minor upgrade. This isn't ruled out in general, especially with the rumors of multiple Nexii.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] shinkinrui:
Well, T-Mobile US finally announced the next higher-end QWERTY phone, and it looks to be a disappointment ...

http://www.tmonews.com/2012/09/t-mobile-announces-the-galaxy-s-relay-4g-qwerty-keyboard-and-all/

Considering the rumors originally called for a 720p screen and an S4 processor, there are bloggers everywhere already taking a **** all over this phone. And who can blame them? With these specs, this looks very much like a device that should've been released at least a year ago.

But wait! I'm not done yet ... There's something very interesting on Samsung's website that shows the specs for this device:

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-T699DABTMB-specs

The MSM8260A? That's not an S3 chipset folks, that's S4! Now granted, it's very easy for someone to have made a mistake on the website- maybe they meant to put MSM8260 and not MSM8260A. That one little letter makes a HUGE difference though. David of tmonews.com is trying to get clarification from T-Mobile. Even if he can't get a for-sure answer, the phone is out in a week, so we'll know then.

Maybe us QWERTY lovers won't get a 720p screen yet, but maybe, JUST MAYBE, we can enjoy a phone with an up-to-date processor. Fingers crossed!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] MissionImprobable:
On top of everything else it's ugly :p
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] shinkinrui:
Eh, I wouldn't say it's ugly. Maybe not beautiful, but not ugly. Besides, I could give a **** about looks as long as it's a 5-row qwerty phone that is useable and performs well with decent specs. The processor will make the difference between disappointment and decent.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] moonlightinwhite:
It's not the best looking phone I've ever seen, but I'd be willing to give the keyboard a shot.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gagdude:
It doesn't matter, the 5mp camera was such a blow to me that I crossed it off immediately. Screen is also still too small, will there ever be another qwerty to compete with the 4.3 inch photon q?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Sixonefour:
I miss having a keyboard sometimes. If you get a huge enough screen (like the gs3) for example and use it in landscape mode to type its not all that bad! I think I'm over having a keyboard now. Thanks gs3!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] super425:
Should be quad core
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] agent20x:
Just going to make the phone bulkier and heavier. Not for me
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] shinkinrui:
LOL, this was moved to Q&A? I guess technically the title of the thread IS a question, but that was rhetorical, as I have both of the possible answers already there. The point of the thread was more to discuss the possible processors ... oh well, mods will be mods. Gotta use them powers, right? And who can be bothered to actually read the post before moving it on a huge site like this?

Anyway, after having tried both the One S and the Galaxy S II, I can safely say I prefer a phone with a slightly smaller screen and a keyboard. It would've been nice if Samsung could've put a qHD screen in there at least, but I can make due with my usual 800x480. And just think- if the spec page is right, this thing will be as smooth as butter with the S4 only powering this low a resolution! Can't wait to test drive it <3

Oh, that reminds me- I'm planning to go into a T-Mobile store to take a look at one next week. If we don't get a definitive answer on the SOC by then, what app can I use to easily identify it? There ya go, now this thread belongs in Q&A ;) Thanks, guys!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] shinkinrui:
Well, nevermind! T-Mobile just confirmed that we have a S4 chip in this baby! Now to start requesting a forum for this phone and feigning surprised anger when it doesn't get one ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] aquila_1:
Well does anyone know if it works properly in the European network? The frequencies working bode well! I'm trying a smartphone with keyboard. If I had not seen this phone fortuitously ... I would have bought a droid3. Droid4 is lte and here it does not work!

I hope it will be possible to buy it without a contract for import. I think that will not come in Europe. sigh
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Projectsk26:

w00t!

Picked this phone up today at a local T-Mobile store. I had to go to two stores to find one in stock.

Already rooted it.

bkero@Gluttony:~/relay$ sudo ./adb shell

shell@android:/ $ su

shell@android:/ #

Using Odin 3.07 I flashed the SGS3 CWM image. The LCD in recovery doesn't work, but adb certainly does! After that I had root, it was easy enough to adb push a su binary over, then copy it to the system partition.

The interface for the phone feels very gimmicky, I hope to put some kind of AOSP or CM on it.
