[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erivera1031:
Hey Guys,

My evo shift is flashed to boost mobile. is there anyway of saving the current configuration just in case i need a backup. i dont have the donor phone as someone did it for me. and if this phone were to get broken would i be able to use the configuration from the 1st phone on a replacement evo shift?

thanks guys :fingers-crossed:

i have heard to use qpst to save a copy but have not been able to figure it out if someone can guide me threw it. i have version 2.7.366.

thanks again

You talking about the actual Boost Mobile settings ? Not the Rom itself correct ?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erivera1031:
Yes sir. The actual boost mobile settings. Is there a way to back those up? Just incase something happens or have to change to another evo shift
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad The Pathfinder:
I think all you can do is back up your ROM. So then if you got a new shift you could restore that but then you would have to set up your new device to the other carrier.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gilgil2:
Hey,

I have a galaxy s2 skyrocket and I noticed that my gyro isn't working properly. when the phone is on a flat surface, it reacts as if its turned about 30 degrees.

I know there's a gyro calibration thing in settings -> display -> gyroscope calibration, but when I calibrate, nothing changes (even though I get the "Calibrated" message).

I have ice cream sandwich. It seems to me this is a software problem, as the calibration doesn't do anything, but searching the web showed me that some people with similar problems had to send their phone to be fixed (as in a hardware problem).

Any help will be appreciated.

thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] asasione:
Just thought I'd write up a flashing guide for people who love to use I9100 ROMS like myself. First the things you'll need before you start the porting process:

Notepad++

Winrar/7zip

For ICS ROMS:

Download an I9100 ROM of your choice

Download a kernel (Siyah (ICS)/Skyfire(ICS)/Fluxi(ICS))

Open the zip files (don't extract) and copy the zimage to your desktop

Change the sec_touchkey.kl found in system/usr/keylayout of your ROM zip

Change the modem.bin with either UCLE5 or UCKH7

Go to system and edit the build.prop, edit these particular lines exactly as shown using Notepad++(optional):

Go to META-INF/com/google/android and open updater-script with Notepad++ and check if these line are there:

Delete them, if not skip this step

Delete the zImage from the ROM zip and replace it with one from Siyah/Skyfire or Fluxi

You can replace the hosts found in system/etc for ad blocking

The red highlighted items can be found at bottom of post (Not for flashing)

Flash the ROM

For JB ROMS:

Download an I9100 ROM of your choice

Download a kernel Siyah (JB) or use extract boot.img from CM10/AOKP ROMS

Open the zip files (don't extract) and copy the zimage (for CM10/AOKP found in the respective ROM root directory) to your desktop

Change the sec_touchkey.kl found in system/usr/keylayout of your ROM zip

Go to system and edit the build.prop, edit these particular lines exactly as shown using Notepad++(optional):

Go to META-INF/com/google/android and open updater-script with Notepad++ and check if these line are there:

Delete these lines

Go to system/lib and replace the modules folders with the one provided

You can replace the hosts found in system/etc for ad blocking

The red highlighted items can be found at bottom of post (Not for flashing)

Additional:

To boot a zImage for JB ROMS if you replace the boot.img

You must edit this lines in the updater-script

To look like this:

In general just look for an assert near the bottom of the script and edit it to reflect the zImage and it will boot properly. Alternatively skip this step and just flash the kernel after flashing the ROM

Enjoy the ROMS in the I9100 Original and Android Development section and happy flashing

Do you need to be on a Unix system for this? Windows doesn't like the filenames (things ending in both "a" and "A" for example).

Edit: Oops, dropped a parentheses.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] asasione:
You don't need unix or a special system for this just Notepad++ and winrar/7 zip which are free and easy to find
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] IconRunner:
Alright, looks like the duplicate filename error is a 7-Zip thing, WinRAR looks to be working ok.

Could you elaborate some on what to do with the Siyah kernel "zImage"? When I open the Siyah file there is the META-INF folder, a flash_image and a zImage file; however in the root of my ROM there is only a "boot.img".

Is something happening here that I'm missing:

"Open the zip files and copy the zimage (for CM10/AOKP found in the respective ROM root directory) to your desktop"

It looks like it could be much easier than that and it's just "replace boot.img with zImage and edit the assert... to reflect the changes". Is it really that simple?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] asasione:
Exactly, in Siyah zip just drag and drop the zImage, to your desktop for example, and in your ROM delete the boot.img, and insert the zImage in the root directory of ROM zip

then edit the updater-script as shown above so it boots from zImage and not boot.img, you can also just highlight boot.img and CTRL+F and replace all instances of boot.img with zImage. Yes it really is that simple

Also I found this awesome theme, thought I'd share:

There's no need to zip ROMS back up, just open the zip don't extract and make your changes by dragging and dropping the files according to the guide and editing some files and flash the ROM, its pretty straight forward

This method worked for me. The only thing I didn't do was change the boot image and flashed the kernel after the ROM which is an option. I will try replacing the boot img the next time. But the method allowed me to port my desired I9100 JB ROM to the I777without a problem. Thanks!:)

At no point are the kernel or anything else I attached meant for flashing they are simply zipped files, if you read the instructions they are supposed to be added and to replace the i9100 files within the zip, simple drag and drop, once you've ported a few ROMS it will take you less than 5mins doing it your own

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mlaws90:
Note: Does not work on 4.2.1 JB ROMs. I have tried flashaholics and this to the same result. I am trying to port over RootBOX 3.3.1 which is based off 4.2.1. I currently do not have a working method to port 4.2.+ ROMs. Or even if it is possible at this point.

I get a System UI and Phone Crash, super slow boot animation, but it does boot. The constant System UI and Phone crashes make it unusable. I'm pretty sure I just need a 4.2.+ kernel for the i777 in order to continue, like the CM 10.1 kernel once Entropy releases. I have tried Siyah(both) and the CM 10 12-17 kernel.

Does anyone know why this is happening, or the differences between 4.1.+ and 4.2.+ ROM's structure? Any help is greatly appreciated, and of coarse once the port is ready I will share :p and host it on my Goo.im account.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
mlaws90 you should wait until Entropy releases 4.2.1 CM10.1 and simply use that as a base for porting ROMS since the kernel is probably the reason its not working. Don't have an S2 anymore so can't test out, jumped ship to N4

Hi I'm a total newb, to android and especially porting.

I have had my Nexus 4 for about a month. Liked android so much thought i would get GS2 to tinker with since it is still supported very well.

Well, I followed the directions in the OP and replaced all the files, replaced boot with zImage, edited the updater-script file etc.

I wiped data, cache, dalvik, and flashed the ported ROM( ThinkingBridge ROM [I9100][May 09,2013][Stable 2]) in CWM.

I figured I would try that ROM since I did not see anyone porting it and their goal is stability.

I figured perfect for a newb. stable ROM, good directions, no problem.

Well, after reboot I get nothing. I got the Samsung GS2 words then a blank screen.

I get back into CWM to restore and it has the Siyah logo in CMW so part of what i did must have worked.

And since i did not totally brick my phone and could restore from backup then I figure i'm on the right track.

Can any one give me any pointers?

Should I start with a different ROM? I was thinking if this worked to try the PA 3.50 ROM.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Not much experience on Ubuntu, maybe some more knowledgeable will chime in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
All this sounds like is you're either using the wrong kernel for the rom you're trying to install, or an outdated version of it. If it boots to black that's likely the cause.

Sent from the i777
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] qnc:
OK.

I will try the process again, but instead if replacing the boot.img fine with zImage, I will flash the Siyah kernel in CWM instead and see what happens.

I was using the Siyah 4.3.3 file that was linked to in the OP.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Ah, that's why you were having problems; 4.3.3 is grossly outdated and doesn't have the newer Mali drivers. Head to the Development thread and grab one of the newer kernels, you won't have any issues then.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
If testing goes well you should share your ROM in the i777 ported thread
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] micallan_17:
well the thing is that I don't have any experience in doing actual ports, what I did was just convert the official build to work with the I777 using this same guide here no coding was used, I did however did take parts from one unofficial kitkat rom and added it to the official i9100 rom and made the changes on the update script and flashed, if this works out well, I will ask for proper permission from the actual developers of both the official and unofficial roms to make the semi-official rom for our i777s :), but yet again this guide is so straight forward that basically anyone that knows how to follow guides and flash via cwm can do it :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Yeah, this is a good guide, and some of us who've been porting for years do basically what was written here. David's right, if you get permission share your work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] micallan_17:
so I sent a request for permission the developers of the roms I used, hopefully I can hear back from them soon and we can share :)

Hi All,

Noob here with what I think is a soft brick issue.

Under the battery it says Model: GT-i9100, SSN: i9100GSMH

Originally Gingerbread, then I upgraded to 4.03 via official Kies firmware release.

Couple of days ago tried to upgrade to 4.04 using ODIN and got a fail at factoryfs.img. probably used the wrong firmware.

Could still get into download mode at that stage, but can't anymore. I tried to install a couple of different firmware versions of 4.04. I can still get 'added' when I connect to ODIN though.

Can somebody please help me to upgrade to either 4.04 or Jellybean? I'm willing to go fully custom, just don't know how to do it....Can I do it with ODIN? Do i need a new kernel or pit or something?

Thanks heaps, really appreciate any help.

Cheers,

Jackson

Given you can't get into download mode (and I presume the phone won't boot & you can't get into recovery either ?) it's either a JTAG or service centre job.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If the phone shows 'added' in Odin (yet the phone show no signs of life whatsoever; you still haven't clarified this btw), then you might as well try flashing a stock rom & see what happens. I mean, the phone's borked. It probably won't work, but it's not like you'll bork it worse if you do try another flash.
