[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbi1:
:fingers-crossed:

That's the one I put on and the phone is not rooted. I then downloaded the UK 4.0.3, updated it, and still Kies says it cannot update.

I read on another forum something with CSC (sales code), probably this phone has a Germany code and I put UK firmware on it.

BTW - I am downloading an update now OTA, it asked me to register country, I registered UK and it downloaded and installing now. I hope I didn't screw something up :(

Edit: Device Succesfully Updated (to 4.04 Kernal 3.0.15-i9100XWLPT) and now it doesn't give me this error again. Yipee!!

Thanks for your help and moral support at this hour :highfive:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaykresge:
Glad it worked out for you, sorry I couldn't help more. Yup, CSC was the issue, so I'm glad that you worked it out. Now you're all set for the official JB update when it released. I'm projecting mid-January for the UK model. We should see the rollout begin by end of November, early December if delayed. Samsung has a deal with UK carriers where unlocked handsets don't get updates until after the specifics carriers do, and they're not likely do finish the rollout by Christmas. So, again, expect mid-January, and be pleasantly surprised if before that. That's how I'm treating it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbi1:
Apparently there is a way to manually change the CSC, I am glad I didn't have to do this. My boot loop started with the newer Gingerbread, I then put the older one (from August) and interestingly when it came up it was in German, even though this is a UK version. I then put the 4.0.3 (UK) which booted up in English. I then decided to "take a chance" at the OTA update, which BTW, was my main question in this post, and I suspect that when I selected U.K. when prompted at the beginning of the process it "fixed" the CSC from Germany to the U.K.

Thanks again!

I am new to the rooting scene, and I only know a little. I finally decided to attempt to root my 4.0, but I am getting stuck at a certain point. I used this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1384806 and I followed it to the letter but I keep getting stuck/frozen at a point in SuperOneClick where it says "Waiting for Device..." I have waited 20 minutes and nothing. If the solution is very complicated, I would also appreciate a different tutorial, as I know there are many ways to root a device. I would usually just find out on my own, but I am just a little paranoid about this since I know next to nothing when it comes to rooting.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elner0:
Hey,

For more than a week I couldn't remount the SDcard, caused by a bad flash. :crying:

I tried awfull many times on all different ways with Nand erase, bootloader, pit, PDA and all possible data and variations between them. All flashing occured from my laptop and PC several times

In many threads also they repeatedly mention that error while flashing can be caused by drivers and installation and solved using a different USB ports whether to restart, and flash with a new clean installation. So I tried also those manners.

What could be the problem :confused:

Until I thought ..... on the differences in transmission speed ... between Compuer and smartphone :silly:

The laptop I use has an Intel i7 core processor and 16GB of memory. Moreover, there are USB3 ports wich tranfer data 10x faster than regular USB2 ports. My PC has the same configuration, and has in addition a SSD on wich the whole transmission between the disk and processing also increas the acceleration. Both are very fast computers, as you can see, and flashing occured on both in no time.

And so after a week error and trial and most of all reading on XDADeveloppers, I thought this transmission speed also could be the cause of the problem ....

So I installed the stockroms, data and Odin on my old laptop, I2 core and memory 2GH and USB2 ports and ..... yes yes yes ... in only one flash everything went well and result perfect.

- Check Auto-reboot, F. Reset Time and Nand Erase

- Stockrom on PDA

- Start and fash

- When rebooting pull ou the battery

- enter recovery-mode with Audio Up / Menu / PWR.

- wipe data / factory reset

- Reboot and .... everything is smooth and OK.

I hope this thread about the experience of transmission speed difference may be helpfull for other Samsung smartphone lovers

:silly:

Hi,

since I never flashed any Android device, how is the memory being divided? Since this is a ROM, I guess it goes into a fixed size firmware chip on the device? I ask, because I think it is a waste of memory to have applications in ROM and getting the updates into flash.

Would it work, if I would periodically download any in-ROM apps and overwrite the old ones and then reflash? Or does the ROM occupy a part of the flash and loads from there? That could mean, that apps get properly overwritten, when updated?

Thanks.

Hello,

I am about to flash a new rom and I am worried something will happend to my IMEI.

I've seen some comments that say that flashing rom doesnt change IMEI ,and some that say otherwise.

which is correct? if the second - then how can I backup my IMEI?

Thnx :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tovagulet:
IMEI Can't be changed by just installing a ROM.

International Mobile Equipment Identity

Its a unique number... no other phone will have the same IMEI
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonnn:
You can backup you IMIE by backuping the bml5 partion, just run from adb or terminal as root:

cat /dev/block/bml5 > /sdcard/bml5.img

You will get bml5.img file on you sdcard, this is you IMIE. But you don't need to backup it before flashing ROM.

Hi I have a rooted n7 stock 4.1.2, I can't seem to delete a ringtone "hangout_dingtone.m4a" I am using ES File Exploer with SU permissions. Every time I delete it and reboot my n7 the files come back. The file is one file but when done a search shows up in two places, if I rename it in one place it renames in the other place as well. The files are located in /data/media/notification/hangout_dingtone.m4a and /storage/sdcard0/notification/ hangout_dingtone.m4a is there any way I can delete it from both locations?

Hey guys I'm on Homebase 4.1 ROM. Phone is unlocked and rooted, android version 2.3.4. I haven't been on these forums for a while since everything has been working great until now. I didn't miss not having 4G data due to being unlocked, but recently Sprint started working on upgraded their towers in my area. We lost 3G data connection for a while and this was supposed to be normal due to the upgrading going on. The problem is that the upgrade is over and everyone else in my family has 3G working again on their non rooted crappy phones, but my 3G never kicked back in. Before I factory reset everything and start messing around with different ROMS i just wanted to see if anybody could point me in the right direction on what I could do or what the problem might be?

[HTC Rezound] SteveG12543:
I've got both and I can't tell the difference between the two when using them. The only difference is the 3.7 fully charges in my battery charger, but the 3.8 only charges to like 80% just like in our early ICS days.
[HTC Rezound] famouscollin:
Take it to Verizon and have them switch it out.. they should do it no pro lem the 3.8 actually don't work right with ICS..

Something to do with the way the system reads the battery stats.

The 3.8v vs 3.7v thing doesn't matter anymore with ICS. It's been fixed for a looong time. Like I said, the only difference is with my external battery charger.

Edit: But yeah, if the battery performance is degrading see if they'll swap it out.
[HTC Rezound] famouscollin:
I use an external charger as well the one I had before was an OEM rezound charger it didn't fully charge my 3.8 either. the one I have now is actually made for digital cameras but it works great and fully charges my batteries in about two to three hours..you can find em at Wal-Mart by the sd cards and digital cameras.

[Windows 8 General] JihadSquad:
So my roommate in college has a Sandy Bridge macbook pro 13." He (like me) is an engineering major and wants to run Windows on his computer for solidworks and other software. I am probably going to set up boot camp for him over the weekend because he doesn't know much about computers.

Basically I want this to be short and a one time deal. Does anyone here have experience with windows 8 on a mbp? Are the drivers released and/or functional? Or would I be better off putting on windows 7 right now. He is interested in windows 8 but if it means he loses major functionality then I think he would be better off with 7. We can get both for free right now through DreamSpark.

I am running windows 8 on my thinkpad, so I don't need the pros and cons of the OS itself, just the experience on a macbook pro.
