[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hocgwai:
depends on how you tried to root. If you used cf auto root from chainfire then it does not come with the cwm recovery. If you use chenglu's method then it will come with cwm recovery. check to see if you have the superSU app. If you do then you may already be rooted, then it's just a matter of installing the cwm recovery separately.

This info is available on the note 2 original Android development forum

good luck
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] re-volt:
I didn't find the supersu app, I tried twice with totally different methods, using mac os which went smoothly with no errors, uploaded recovery.img.

The 2nd time i tried with odin on a windows pc, the phone connected, file uploaded correctly but yet not rooted.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] midcoreboot:
Hello i wonder whats the differens between stock rom and rom:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
theres stock rom, wich means it is standardly on the device, by samsung.

other roms are called 'custom' because they arent original and modified to have more features, be faster, etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ladyman_217:
Well, this is what happened.

My phone was using cMiui 4.1.2 with the default kernel, and this morning I tried to flash CM7. I wiped everything as always before flashing, after I pushed reboot system and it got stuck in the "Galaxy s2" screen and keeps turning on and off endlessly.

I pulled out the battery, try to get back into recovery, but it hadn't been a successful attempt.

I stayed claim and flash back to stock 4.0.4 via Odin, god-bless I made it through.

I installed a custom kernel and flash to CM9 for temporarily use. Now I don't know what to do.

I really want to try the taste of CM7, please help.

Edit: I also tried various way of flashing, such as flash a codeworkx kernel before flashing, and flash back into GB 2.3.5 before flashing CM7, both didn't work out
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apidroid:
it was making me crazy for weeks and here is the solution i found 5 minutes ago :

when it gets bootloop

go to download mod and flash siyah 2.6.14 via odin!

then it boots.

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

Im kind of new to this, so i need some help. I have googled all this stuff but it still makes no sense.

So, im trying to root my galaxy s2. I've done everything according to instructions.

Im running on ICS 4.03 and my kernel version is

3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913

dpi@DELLL134 #3

Baseband:

I9100XXLPS

I have downloaded the file CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.tar , as it is supposed to be the one I need to use with odin.

I have installed Kies and drivers for the phone.

I fire up download mode, and do everything correctly in Odin with the file stated above. Then when I try to use SuperOneClick and click root, the problems start;

First it says that automatic version detection failed, is my OS version newer than 2.0?

-> So i hit yes.

Then the next window pops, and states that my phone has already been rooted. do i still want to root anyway? i hit no, so it stops.

if i hit yes, it starts to root ite, which i have tried 3 times and the longest I tried it took 90 minutes, so i gave up.

Then i try to execute some commands with terminal or titanium backup, and nothing actually works. I see superuser and CWM in my apps though.

What am i doing wrong?

thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
After flashing CF-Root there is no need to use SOC, because CF-Root is already rooted. :silly:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidenkko:
Ok, but when i try i.e. titaniumbackup it says that im not rooted?

and my kernel in the setting is the one that i stated.

Can i install a custom rom now or can i not?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
Get SuperSU from Google Play, should help you.

If not, flash other kernel like Siyah/Dorimanx or whatever.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidenkko:
Ok, but can I install any rom for i9100 I want regardles of my kernel?

As long as its rooted... right?

Also, the SuperSu says that the SU binary needs to be updated when i open the application. Then it says update failed.

Goddamn i hate this when this happens to me.

Could you even point to me where to download these other kernel and are they safe to install on my device? i don't understand anymore
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
Yeah. Except certain latest ROMs that use the latest Mali drivers. Siyah doesn't support those yet. And the dorimanx kernel that supports those doesn't support the older JB and all ICS ROMs

Download siyah v4.1.5 from www.gokhanmoral.com

Use the tar version if your installing via Odin and the zip version if via CWM recovery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidenkko:
OK,

So i installed siyah with odin. Superoneclick says still that i am rooted so i cant root.

In the phone nothing that should work (titanium, superSU,) is working.

So it is not really rooted.

What the F am i doing wrong guys?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cypherrom666:
I agree with Siyah, been using it since 2011 without issue
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Try rooting using the method by rachmat3 thats in my sig.

Then flash the siyah kernel if you want.

Do it all through recovery/cwm if you want.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidenkko:
I have Siyah up and running now, still not rooted.

Don't own an SDcard, is this the only way?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidenkko:
Hi,

Got an SD card, and im now rooted!

Thank you very very much for the help!

Now for the rom... :)

Bye!

Sorry first time trying a phone other then cdma. If i get the galaxy note 2 on att when it comes out and order a straight talk sim can i just slip it into the att galaxy note 2 and have hspa+ working. I want to try straight talk first because i here good and bad stories and if it sucks i can just cancel my contract within 14 days for att. Atleast so i can try out the note 2 to see if i like it. Once again i never had a sim card phone so im kinda clueless if i can swap them freely for tmobile and att phones or if i have to get an unlocked international version.
[Networking] Babydollll:
If you buy an AT& T phone, it will indeed work with an AT& T SIM card from ST (without being unlocked).

However, if I read your post correctly, you're going to get the phone on (an) AT& T subsidized (plan) then put a ST SIM in it? You DO realize that you will then have to pay AT& T a monthly fee and still pay ST their fee (even is it's month to month without a contract)....that makes no sense. You're paying an extra 45$ a month that you don't have to, on top of AT& T' s monthly fees....

[Networking] al52025:
Lol i know im just wanted to get the note 2 to try and try out straight talks sim for att and see within 14 days if they cancel or slow my speeds like i hear so many people say. I guess i could just buy the phone at att without a contract to right? And use it for 14 days to see if i like it and return it if i dont
[Networking] Babydollll:
Yes. It really depends on your area and how you set the APN (with or without proxy), that dictates speed. (Mostly area). ST on the AT&T side is pretty strict on data USAGE though. Most have found that staying under a 100MB per day/2GB per month is acceptable. Any more and you can not only be throttled but, they can (and will) shut off your service without notice or refund.

That being said, if your are aware of the cons to ST, many have found that the service works well for them and they are extremely happy with the price.

If you live in an area that T-Mobile has refarmed their 1900mHz band to HSPA+ you can get a T-Mobile ST (and use it on "4G") (or a T-Mobile SIM, prepaid or otherwise) and use that phone (unlocked only of course) that way. Some have found the T-Mobile side of ST to be more lenient with data usage policies.

If you don't talk much (and your area has been refarmed and your phone unlocked) the 30$ plan (only available at Wal-Mart or on T-Mobile.com) with 100 minutes, unlimited texts and 5GB data is a another option.

[Networking] MrObvious:
Good info here. To add to it, you can check for your area being refarmed if it has T-Mobile 3g on your network scan. Or you can check airportal.de where users have reported the refarm.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MarksThinkTank:
I need help with testing for this device and flip style cases.

I had a bunch of requests for Wave Control to have this functionality. Flip Case Control simply turns off the screen with the case is closed and turns it on when it is opened and it is designed to work using as little battery as possible. (I left it running all night ~8.5 hours and the battery dipped 1% more than usual)

IMPORTANT: If your case is black or dark on the inside, the sensor doesn't read correctly when the case is closed. To fix this, put a piece of light colored tape on the inside of the case where it lines up with the sensor (located next to the front camera)

Note: A Samsung based ROM is required. CM doesn't seem to work well.

Demo video:

[YOUTUBE]tKAMedkeDZU[/YOUTUBE]

Thanks! (crossing fingers it works without needing modification)

Edit (10/20/2012)

Taken out of beta with V1.05

Play Store Links:

24 Hour Trial Version

Full Version
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ruvort:
I haven't tried the app yet but I would recommend a setting where the service can be disabled/suspended while charging for people who leave the case open or take it off while charging.

Thank you for your work btw :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chrisa887:
I use smart screen from the play store. Allows the phone to turn off when light sensor is covered and turns back on when light hits it. Works good for me
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MarksThinkTank:
Hmm, yeah I could put that option in. Also probably need to have an option to disable if in landscape mode so fingers don't set it off.

This should use quite a bit less battery than that app. The method employed on it prevents your phone from reaching deep sleep when idle. But, because of that will react quicker. So, it's a tradeoff. I chose battery life over response.

Also Flip Case Control is compatible with lock screens if you need the security.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] khshapiro:
I can't seem to get past the check box for start or reboot
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MarksThinkTank:
You can just hit back or home and it will stay running in the background. I think I'll add in a close button to make it more intuitive.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] WarlockW:
Neat Idea :)

Great Idea .. And Seems to work really well :)

However I have a Black Flip Case ..

So Doesn't Work for me .. but adding white area to case idea did :)

You Def need a button for main screen thats says: OK

Or better yet .. ON - Off Buttons lol

Will See how it does on battery life.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] famandeggs:
Great idea, looking forward to getting my new case and trying this. Thank you
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MarksThinkTank:
Yeah so true. Not sure what I was thinking lol

Working on a new version that reduces false triggers for the screen off.. should be out soon.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] WarlockW:
Really - Really Liking the new program ..

Its Soooo nice to have the phone turn on automatically!

Not sure whats up .. But I rebooted and the program didn't restart

with the phone .. had to restart the program and it started working.

Also .. Over night I checked battery level it was at 81% when I went to bed.

In the morning I had 78% - 3% over night!

Just a thought to save battery ..

how about from 12am - 6am have the program unload / turn off ?

That way should be 0 loss over night :)

BTW .. I removed the white tape ..

And it is working fine now with my leather gray case! LOL

No Idea why it started working.

Link: http://www.amazon.com/CrazyOnDigital-Designer-CONTOUR-Leather-T-Mobile/dp/B005ZG080Q

Hmmm .. also weird .. I get NO false triggers :) Works really well :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MarksThinkTank:
That's a good idea. I can set it up like in my other app Data Sleep.

I just put out a new version to the play store. But, now I'm thinking it may behave differently on the T-Mobile version due to the different sensor..

Could you try out this version here and see how it works?

This one is the full so the on boot option is enabled.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] WarlockW:
Well .. it looks like it works on my t-mobile sg3

however now it no longer works again with my dark case. lol

weird .. it doesn't turn screen off with dark case - screen time out works though.

however does turn ON .. when I open it!

the new on - off and start on boot is nice :)

And works after reboot now :) - Like the message that it started after boot :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MarksThinkTank:
How about with the tape again? The changes shouldn't affect that though... I think.. unless the case isn't flush. I'm using the light sensor to confirm the case is closed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] WarlockW:
Well .. Something changed .. because it was working fine before update. lol

And the case does fit snug / flush against the sensors.

The inside of my case is a gray .. out side is black.

Yes it works with white tape .. kinda ugly fix though. lol

However .. like i said the screen time out works. ( set to 30secs )

and when i open the case it turns the screen on.

So happy with how it works without tape for now :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MarksThinkTank:
Huh.. weird. I agree it's a pretty hokey fix. I'm trying to figure out a way to handle it in software but haven't figured out a robust solution yet.

Glad you're happy with how it works for you

Thank you so much for helping test it!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MarksThinkTank:
Version 1.10

Just put out to the Play Store V1.10:

-Reworked detection method much more robust now

-Option to disable the sensitivity changes from V1.05

-Option for longer timeout for Screen Off

Let me know if I broke anything!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xManMythLegend:
Works great on Tmobile.

Does the newer version offer better battery savings ?

Im more worried about Bat life than anything else what would be optimal settings for that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MarksThinkTank:
New version should be about the same but handle different open and close speeds better. For the best battery life, don't enable the longer screen off timeout... since this leaves the screen on longer and so that uses more battery.

Next version will have a night time disable option so you can set times to turn off the sensor since you won't be using the phone while you sleep. It won't have that much affect on battery life (only really drains at most 1% overnight as it is) but will keep you from running the sensor 24/7.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MarksThinkTank:
Version 1.20:

1. New Swipeable UI - Swipe left for settings, Swipe right for Night Disable

2. New Night Disable Mode - Shut off the sensor at night while you sleep. Saves a tiny bit of battery and keeps you from keeping the sensor on 24/7.

3. Auto Start on Boot works on the Trial Version now.

4. Bug fixes

I'm still not happy with the UI. It's functional for presenting the new functionality but I need to polish it up a bit.

What do you all think?

Any other features/options you would like to see?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NXJeff:
I would like to see a free but full working version without additional feature such as Night mode, sensitivity settings and enable/disable screen on/off sound, full version with all of them. :)

Thank you all for the answer
[General Topics] maniacaus:
Doubt it. Manufacturers usually only give a maximum of 2 years of updates. S2 has already had ICS and will probably stop at Jelly bean.

but 4.2 is JB?

Nope. Android Jelly Bean is 4.1

Android 4.2 will be probably named key lime pie, but there isnt any official info.

SGS2 won't get update to 4.2 if it will be cause Samsung devs considered update to 4.1 :o

New Android user here coming from iPhone. I pre-ordered and i5, and just thought wow, apple isn't even trying anymore. So I returned it and got my S3. My main complaint would be battery life so far, Thats ok though, thats why people make extended batteries right. I do force myself to use a rugged case, my phone usually hits tile or concrete 2 - 4 times a week, so I just don't chance it. Also i prefer the cases with the screen protectors built in, they seem to last better than the one's you attach Anyone know of a rugged case that allows a bigger battery inside, or even has a batter built in with a screen protector? You would think someone would make one?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jonny68:
Welcome to XDA and the world of Android, you will most likely never look back.

First things first im not sure if you're aware of what rooting is, it's similar to jailbreaking an iPhone, you can basically do so much more,details on how to root are posted in the main page in case you didn't see it.

What i would suggest to achieve excellent battery life which is what i get is go to Google Play and purchase the excellent https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackupPro&hl=en one of the most useful apps you can have.

Then what you do is basically freeze the Samsung bloatware that causes unnecessary battery drainage, i guarantee you that your battery life will improve lots, never use any apps like Juice Defender as they use up more battery than what they save, also download the excellent

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImNvbS5hc2tzdmVuLmJldHRlcmJhdHRlcnlzdGF0cyJd this app will tell you what is eating away at your battery, turn off bluetooth and GPS,etc when not in use as they can also cause battery drainage.

Finally if your looking for a rugged case (without the battery as you wont need one) i can 100% recommend http://www.case123.com/Urban-Armor-Gear-Cases-s/266.htm i just got one myself and it's brilliant worth every cent.

Have fun :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jonesy.chris:
Thanks Jonny, I do have an HTC View tablet so I am used to android and have rooted and played with that one. The battery on the phone doens't seem that good, I do have advanced task killer free, so maybe that's causing it.

i'll try those apps and see what's causing it, i do have advanced task killer free on the phone for shutting off tasks but no battery programs.

Why would titanium backup doing backups cause better battery life? I've already purchased that and have it on my tablet. I wasn't planning on rooting the phone, will it work without it?

I did go through and saw a guide on how to shut of Samsung services that were running and I did that yesterday, we'll see today how much that helps.Not sure if that will give me enough extra battery to be safe.

I'm a network engineer and tend to use my phone a lot during the day, the first 3 days i've had it, i've been between 2 and 5% battery by end of day, and these have been medium usage day, so I know I wouldn't make it through a heavy day. I'm in the Houston TX area so we do have LTE here which may be draining it more as well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jonesy.chris:
This was the only case i'd seen that was half way rugged and allowed or had an extended battery on it.

Can't post a link yet, but the Seidio Active extended case is the one I was talking about.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlatjs17:
Seidio
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jonny68:
I get a full day out of heavy usage or 1 1/2 - 2 days out of medium usage, get rid of advanced task killer too that will only cause more harm than good.

Basically with Titanium Backup you will be looking to freeze as much bloatware as possible (it can also do a lot more besides this, best utilities / tools app ever) here is a list of stuff you can freeze http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1634624

14 pages long but well worth reading, perhaps LTE may have something to do with it as well we still have shockingly slow broadband in Ireland so something like LTE isn't gonna happen here for a long time.

You definitely need to root the phone for Titanium to work, don't worry you can also unroot no problems, rooting your phone is simple as is unrooting, i would highly recommend anyone with an Android smartphone to root it, the possibilities are endless (custom ROM's are the way to go)

After you have froze the bloatware your battery life will improve substantially no doubts about it,i wouldn't delete any bloatware though just freeze it, most of the bloatware you are unlilely to use anyway but if you do need to use it just unfreeze it, simples :D
