Me and only me?

Wow I post a sincere plea for help and I get 3 smart ass responses. Yes There were 6 trojans attached and it took almost an hour with McAfee to get them off.. Some place to get help. I happen to be 54. This kind of thing does not come naturally to me. I dont understand half of it. What is wrong with you people???? Some how everyone has esp about what I am and am not doing. And as for not trying? Have you read anything or do you scan and then spew venom? Must not take much to make your day. Thanks everyone, thanks a lot. And as for where I post you mind you own business. I will post where I please of block me. Wow being blocked from insults and nastiness. Harsh!

Absolutely everyone of you has accused me of bad behavior. You people are nothing but a gang. I have neither been entitled or demanding. I've been accused of being stupid and can't follow instructions and incapable of knowing whether or not I got a virus. Find one place where I was entitled or demanded anything. You can't. You all are just saying things for the sake of saying them with no basis in reality what so ever. The fact that I find this so difficult and had sincerely asked for help and received nothing but crap on every response and somehow you all are victims. Clearly your goal is not to help but to bully and look down your nose like your superior in some way. Well, this world is round and you will get it back. What a bunch of crap. I will delete my account or what I have to do to get out out here. Hooray! You succeeded in running off someone's grandmother. You are special

If you are trying to unlock for a different carrier the apn would be your last step and you would need to root the phone or install a custom rom/system. Everyone else has to look and nobody gets answers for questions that have already Ben taken care of and are posted here for others (like you) to find for your benefit.

I think I have tried so many things that I am all confused. When I watch the video there are steps I either miss or they are assumed that you know them. I am trying to change from straight talk to att. I have an active att sim. The phone is a tracfone gaklaxy s2. And I never said I got a virus from this sight. This sight said to go get a download for my phone via the computer I looked it up and the one that was for this sight wasnt what you were using any more. So I found it on another link and my computer was bombarded. I have never seen a sincere request for help go so wrong where someone asked for help and then got pounded. I wouldn't do anyone that way

I don't have time to look. What file are you trying to locate?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] finfan313:
File

It was a file to unzip the zip file. I have one now, but the one I first got was bad bad bad. I have like winrar or something like that. The McAfee guy helped me with that. I had the phone in download mode but where I got confused was the cwm. I went to that link but then I saw somwething where you no longer support that? And then I was totally mixed up. I have the samsung drivers. I have odin 3 I unabled usb debugging. But the cwm got me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Click first spoiler box of this entire thread. Download the cwm 6.0.4.5. Once you have that read the Odin flashing instructions VERY carefully and follow them and you'll then have a custom recovery which is necessary for basically any modification
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gabrielkhein:
Well the goal was just to go back to stock... But now that I've done that and am somewhat familiar (I use these terms loosely haha) with Odin I wouldn't mind rooting and upgrading my phone to kit kat. What the best way to upgrade to kk and are there any reasons that I wouldn't want to upgrade (idk like battery drain or slower performance)? And I know the first post in this thread has the directions for rooting, but just to clarify I install CWM recovery SGH-S959G_CWM-v6.0.4.5.tar.md5 through the PDF spot in Odin? Sorry if I'm asking a bunch of stupid questions here (or ones that have been answered, I'm sure the more likely case), but better safe than bricked right? :D

[Q] Update CWM

Hi guys, I'm at CWM 6.0.3.2 and I would like to know if it's possible to update to 6.0.4.5 flashing through recovery or it's only through ODIN?

I found how to do it, but I don't understand..., because in Aocp thread post#2

there are 2 different instructions in the same post...

2. Flash New Recovery and reboot system..do NOT let boot and immediately two finger salute back into recovery(Do NOT click the "reboot into recovery!"). (Now it should be on new)!

..

...

...

Read The Following Carefully:

Now that you flashed new Recovery... Reboot phone and as its booting (vol +/- plus power) to put back into recovery!(Do Not Let it Boot).

Could you tell me the correct steps to do it?

Thanks in advance,

macdo
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Absolutely. Not a stupid question. The trick to upgrading this phone is getting a custom recovery on there first. This allows you to flash unsigned zips like custom ROMs and kernels. Almost all custom ROMs come rooted so when you flash them in recovery and boot up you're rooted. There's no extra "rooting procedures" of you're going this route.

Now find what ROM you want. There are kitkat (4.4.x) ROMs in the development and ported development sections of the att sgh-i777 section of the forums. Read the op for instructions to install the ROM you want and if you are still unsure just quote this post and ask. I will help you all i can as long as you read and try to understand it first, which you seem to be doing just fine so far.

Do you have the straight talk s2 (sgh-s959g)?

"... one thing I can tell you is you got to be free..."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] macdo:
No, but I'm willing to flash this and there's a link to this thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
That's for the users of the straight talk s2 (sgh-s959g). If you don't have that phone you're good to go. Follow the instructions in the op of that thread.

You'll need to flash renderbroken's kernel then reboot recovery. That will give you the recovery version you need. If I'm not mistaken, omni ROM will install twrp version once you flash the ROM. mr-cook's wipe scripts are linked in the op or you can just view his topics from his profile.

If you need more help installing omni, carry the discussion over there. We all here, pretty much, watch that thread too so we'll help if you need it.

**be sure you understand the instructions before you start**

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lokirk:
Another quirk, is that after using the tethering app, which works fantastic, and I turn it off, the wi-fi doesn't really come back. It looks like an error appears, so to get wi-fi back, you need to reboot the phone. It's not too bad considering that you can tether your phone... and sort of stick it to the ST/AT&T folks! ;)

Internet access for $45 bucks/mo, no problem... I am even considering going down to the $35 dollars plan as I really don't use the phone much... can't be beat.

thanks again folks for doing an awesome job with the phone root, otherwise it was a bad decision to buy this phone.

The Gmail thing, I think there is something that was left over from who ever made the factoryfs.img. Some credential file or something.

So, I've been having this issue and I thought I was heading in the right direction, but I have come to a roadblock.

I have previously had cwm with a custom i777 rom on my phone (sgh-s959g) working with data and everything and I (foolishly) decided it was time for a new ROM! Well, long story short I tried flashing a 4.4 rom with my old cwm and that was what destroyed my phone. I couldn't boot to my rom, couldnt flash ANY recovery or anything. So, I used ODIN to flash my phone back to factory. everything went great BUT now I cannot get the version of cwm in OP's post to work. It starts to boot to cwm ( I see the symbol in the middle of the phone with the cwm version) but then the screen goes back and reboots. Any help is greatly appreciated! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
I can tell you what worked for me but i can't tell you why...

When mine did that i had to Odin back to stock. Then Odin in cwm 6.0.2.7 and upgrade to jelly bean. I stayed on JB for a day, went home and flashed in cwm 6.0.4.5 and then upgraded to kitkat. Then restored a kitkat backup and i was back to where i was before

tfdata APN not functioning properly

I haven't posted here before, but have read everything you guys have posted so that my phone has ran flawlessly all the way from Cyanogenmod 10.1 through Omni KitKat 4.4(which has been awesome)

I haven't had an issue with it telling me the message size being too large, just not sending an MMS message at all. Phone calls and regular texts seem to work fine. I restored back to a backup from 03/10 though, and same problem persisted, so I just updated back to current nightly from 03/20 with RenderBroken's 02/04 TWRP and your 2.7.0.0 TWRP flashed over it. Think this is a Straight Talk issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] grave_digger:
Check your APN. Straight talk changed it. Mine is now tfdata APN . I believe it is listed in op. Check that first then post if that was it or not. There is a lot of good help in this forum and someone will be able to get you on the right track.

Yeah, I have the updated tfdata APN(due to loss of data about a month back) and it was working fine until today. Razen_Kain had commented asking if anyone else was having the same issue as he was, and I am, with the exception that I can't send (or) receive MMS messages. Thank you for your help.

Update: I did a little Google research, a bunch of other people are having the same issue with the tfdata APN on the SGH-959G so I made a little call to Straight Talk. They had me do all the usual, with a new step of downloading their App from Google Play to create a new APN(tfdata apn settings I already had BTW), resets my account on their end, but to no avail. He then tells me he is going to have to call AT&T to see if the problem is in their network...call back tomorrow. Hope this helps anybody else having these issues, also.
