Just coz i have no pc to revive a bricked phone and i wont beable to check online for solutions as my phone will be bricked.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
You will need a pc if for example you flash a kernel and somethings not right.You cant get cwm, only download mode.

That happened to me when I flashed a siyah kernel.Phone was stuck and I couldnt boot into cwm.Only way to fix was boot to download mode and use odin/pc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toonarmy4life:
Thanks for letting me know. I think i'l pass on a new rom for now then. Im gutted coz i really wanted to try pa rom it looks ace
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
I can help you from here, pretty simple

Within the next 30 mins, you should be running PA.

First, flash Siyah kernel with your temporary CWM recovery. Very safe

when you are done, let me know
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toonarmy4life:
Thanks jokesy but i cant take the risk i dont have pc or replacement phone lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toonarmy4life:
Jokesy is they anyway i could get a updated temp cwm recovery.

I downloaded this one recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-galaxys2.zip but not sure if i can install using stock recovery.

Becoz its a zip does that mean its for stock recovery and not odin
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
If you follow my instructions, you can not brick your phone. just trust me.

Download CWM 6.x.x

I assume you are running Stock ICS 4.0.3 firmware.

Use the CWM recovery to flash Siyah 4.x.x CWM zip

Let me know when you are done
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toonarmy4life:
Yes im on stock ics my specs on first page.

When i download cwm 6.x.x do i install using stock recovery?

Is this ok for my phone> Siyah-s2-v4.0.1-CWM.zip i have it on sd card.

If so do i need to wipe/reset b4 i flash kernel?

I need a full guide just incase i do something wrong as i wont be able to get back online to fix my mistakes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
the Siyah kernel is ok.

Follow this instruction:

- Reboot to recovery.

- Choose apply update from external storage.

- Choose CWM.zip (the one you just downloaded) and wait until CWM recovery appear.

- Choose install zip from sdcard

- Choose Siyah-s2-v4.0.1-CWM.zip

- reboot phone

let me know when you are done.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toonarmy4life:
Is the cwm posted above safe to install on stock recovery?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
It's a temporary recovery and it's safe to use to flash.

Just follow my instructions.

Seriously, I don't know why we are still on this, you have this same question over and over again!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
I said you should post the info again for some reason. So please do that.

I thought you wanted to flash paranoid? I only asked to flash Siyah kernel for faster and smoother flashing experience.

Happy Independence Day!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
DO NOT use ROM Manager. It has been known to brick devices!

Just use Odin, it's the safest bet :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Good.

Now to flash your desired ROM (I'm using Paranoid as an example here since you specifically wanted it), please follow these steps

1. Visit ParanoidAndroid thread.

a. Download the latest version of the ROM (presently 2.16)

b. Download Gapps (for Android 4.1. Jelly bean)

c. Copy the downloaded zips into your phone

2. Backup your important data like Sms, contacts, call logs, apps

- Download and Use "Sms backup & restore" to backup your messages

- Download and Use "Call logs backup & restore" to backup your call logs

- Download and Use Titanium backup or Es file explorer to backup your apps

- To backup your contacts, you can use any of these options

# Sync your contacts with your google account

# Export your contacts to your SD card

# Download and Use "Contacts backup & restore" to backup your contacts

3 Backup your ROM (just in case)

- Boot to CWM recovery

- select Backup and Restore

- Backup ROM to Internal/External Sd (you need about 800MB -1.5G of free space)

Done

4. Flash Paranoid Android

- Boot to CWM recovery

- Wipe data / Factory reset

- Format /system (under Mounts and Storage)

- Flash Paranoid Android

- Flash Gapps

- Fix permissions (under Advanced)

- Reboot Phone.

Done.

Enjoy your new ROM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toonarmy4life:

Why did you download Gapps for ICS when I fact told you to download Gapps for JB (Android 4.1)?

Follow the instructions next time

Download Gapps again. The first Gapps.

It should look like this

then flash the ROM following my instructions.

Next thing I want to post is, You are done with the flashing!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toonarmy4life:
I've had those files on my phone for awhile now i was just asking if they were ok to use so i didnt have to download the files you tolt me to download so no i didnt download ics gapps instead of the one you wanted me to download i've not downloaded any of the files you have asked me to only because i had the question i asked above because it would save on downloading if those files were ok.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:

I rooted and installed viper Rom. I noticed most roms and kernels require you to flash a new boot image. Is this only until we get s off. I was going to use twrp so I don't have to use fastboot to ash a boot img. But it says it puts twice the wear on he boot pArtition or something like that. Is it worth it to install or just wait for s off and do it through fast boot. Also I noticed something about two different hboots can some one explain this to me. Mine is 1.09 I believe
[HTC One S] frdd:
You'll probably not need to flash boot.img separately with your HBoot, just check kernel version after flashing. If it's not what you expected or it doesn't boot just flash with fastboot its not hard to do, there is even a nice tutorial. Plus once you put in the 5 mins of one time setup work you've got working adb forever.

---------- Post added at 02:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 AM ----------

Haven't read that stuff about twice the wear but wouldn't that only apply if the recovery successfully flashes the boot image and you then flash it again with fastboot... If it fails to write it shouldn't wear on the NAND.

Can't see that this could be a real problem and certainly not for you if you're reluctant to use fastboot, which would seem to indicate that youre not some serial-flasher burning through p/e cycles like there's no tomorrow ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Mochan:
Hey guys,

Yesterday I was playing around with some Launchers. While doing so, I noticed my signal disappeared and my phone couldn't find a signal. This is pretty normal in my room, as I have a bad signal here. But later on I found I never recovered my signal, and when I tried to search for a network I got the error, "Please insert SIM to use Network functions."

So I was like, "crap I broke my phone!" It's been a whole day and I still can't get a signal -- or rather my phone still can't detect the sim. I tried using the sim in another phone (Samsung I780) and it worked perfectly. I then tried another SIM in the Tab and it couldn't find it either. So I conclude the issue is with the Tab.

Now the question is: is it a hardware problem or a software problem?

I tried a Factory Reset but no dice, same problem.

I'm on stock ICS (Austria ROM) with Root, flashed via Odin, added Google Now with the fix here in this forum. It's a P6200 16GB with 3G of course.

Could this be a software problem? I doubt it's hardware as the Tab is pretty new, only about 6 months, and I don't change SIMs at all. There's no chance that the sim slot got worn, but you never know.

I'm thinking it's the fooling around I did with the ROMs. In particular it might have been Go Launcher EX wtih all those stupid plugins like the one that lets you turn off system processes. I uninstalled all the Launchers I tried but somewhere in the middle of doing so the signal disappeared and this is when I assume some kind of driver for the sim slot got nixed.

Another thing I noticed is that my PC or my laptop can't detect the phone anymore when I plug it in. This only happened today as well after playing with the launchers. So I'm thinking it's not just the sim slot.

I'm going to try a reflash of my ROM again via Odin, but while I'm downloading a ROM I'd like to get your opinions on the matter, is it really a software issue or is the hardware broken?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Mochan:
Man, when it rains, it pours. Had a bevy of issues this week, including both of my internet connections going down explicitly, so I have no broadband. I am typing via my phone's sim, which I had to pop in to a USB dongle.

Anyhow, here's what I've gathered:

My phone's baseband is corrupted. I have a "Baseband Version: Unknown" thing going on in my Tablet. That's probably the source of my woes.

But my other problem is that I can't connect via USB to my PC no matter what I do. Does the baseband also affect that? I can't even update via Odin. I'm trying to figure out a way to update this either by WiFi or by MicroSD. Is there a modem.bin file that we can flash via CWM or 3e or some other updater in Power + VolUp mode?

If I can't find one, I'll try going to my aunt's house to use her internet connection via WiFi, might be able to solve everything through KIES.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcall_r:
Hi All,

I've got a blue TF300 + dock that I was very happy with (almost) when I was on ICS, with plain stock ROM and root, and browser2ram and ezoverclock.

I stupidly did the OTA update to JB, not realising that ezoverlcock and browser2ram would not work anymore.

I preserved root using OTA rootkeeper, did a wipe from recovery menu, then booted back up, installed my apps using TB and restored root.

I have been trying to persevere with the tablet for a couple of weeks now since the update, but I just cant put up with the laggyness anymore. I am sick of not being able to smoothly browse a website that has rich content, like youtube, without the browser freezing up (yes, I have tried pretty much every browser there is).

What I am wondering (since I dont really want to have to loose the warranty - the device should be usable as it is out of the box) is that if I download and flash the WW update from the Asus site, will it wipe all my system permissions too, and would it possibly make my tablet any less buggy? (Feels like maybe I got a dodgy OTA update, some people are saying it works great on theirs).

I understand that if I flash this update I will loose root.

So my last question is, that if I do that will it loose root, and if so is there any way of getting root on JB yet without unlocking the bootloader?

Cheers in advance guys.

PS. I will unlock and custom ROM if it really is necessary, I am comforable enough doing it, I have unlocked pretty much every smartphone I had, but the tablet does not come with a carrier warranty unfortunately
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaf:
Can't really answer your main question, but browser2ram still works on JB. Ezoverclock doesn't work because of the new kernel, b2r doesn't tweak the kernel.

you can do lots of things remotely if ur phone is stolen/lost like wipe data, lock the phone, get gps info, set off a loud alarm, record audio, take picture with front/back camera.

you can also get it to take a picture when someone switches off said alarm and itll send the pic to your gmail account. great for identifying the thief.

Also I am rooted but titanium backup will not work because I dont have busy box installed .I used titanium backup to freeze or delete all the useless crap that was on my phone I would nrever use . I am guessing this is still the best way to do it with this phone? Any clue where I can get that?

You can install busy box from play store.

The Rom depend if you've unlocked bootloader, as most require a custom kernel.

I use pureness Rom with stock kernel and it is ok.

Rom is personal choice if you like layout, mod, options etc that the dev make for the Rom.

Be sure to move to system/apps an give rw r r permission installing as a regular will give you a force close when adding apps from widget tab if not a system app other than that this launcher is beast.

Bought this phone used (although in mint condition), and it came with 2.3.5 which is to my knowledge completely locked in the area of the bootloader. My question is: Are there any useful tweaks/apps that will boost radio performance of the phone with a locked bootloader?

Not really much that would improve its already amazing radio. You have two rom options, Hybrid and Mofs though. Both are fantastic. On the stock rom though, you can still make buildprop mods, install a theme such as KTTs underground sea theme, install the bravia engine, install the Beats engine, etc.
