[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] scifan:
In August I bought a SGS2 for my wife, and a SGS3 for myself...

Her phone's running stock non-rooted ICS.

It has some software loaded but nothing too extreme... the ICS update was installed via Kies, and her phone was wiped. - (she wasn't very happy with me when that happened). She uses the stock TW launcher, and stock lock screen, nothing exciting...

Periodically (generally after the phone's been on for several days) the phone pauses and tends to kind of stop... (it'll stop while flipping pages on the launcher)... and it will kind of sit there... and sometimes it requires a reboot... and/or potentially a battery pull...

I haven't pulled a logcat on it yet (not sure if I have the drivers loaded for that at this point think I do... )

She's afraid to let me root the phone because I might "screw up" her contacts, etc...

Thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
Back up contacts to sim card or sd card. Then root it and put a good custom rom on it. It should run alot better after that.

Tell her to save contacts to Google account

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Bandaid_nyc:
I agree with ArcticFish and then Odin back to Android 2.3.6 or Android 4.0.4 using this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1513359 . A fresh copy via Odin cures many symptoms. If you take the time to read the thread you’ll have no problems. Of course you can always come back here and ask for help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sinfulgray:
Grab Call log backup and sms back up from the play store and back them up as well before rooting. Will not lose anything that way and of course backup contacts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] scifan:
One of her concerns is contacts. (Specifically the joining between those stored in Facebook vs those stored in Google.)

I'd thought I could basically Odin either cwm or tarp, make a nandroid, and then flash a supersu zip, and then use titanium backup to back it up...

Sounds like there's potential value to work on her to let me switch her Rom...

I know the stock Rom Odin file for the s3 doesn't wipe data... does the one fir the s2 wipe the data partition?

Also it's there a Odin file for the s2 that already has root injected like for the s3? (I looked, but didn't see one)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Bandaid_nyc:
Yes there is an Odin file to go back to Android 2.3.6 and root via Odin. Please this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1414341 come back with questions I’ll do my best to help you.

I just wondered if there was a thread like this for the SGS2... pre-rooted stock odin for SIII...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sirdowski:
Ugh.... ICS absolutely sucked when it came out for hercules.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] scifan:
So it almost sounds like I should avoid UVLH1 on this phone... since I keep getting suggestions to revert to 2.3.6...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Bandaid_nyc:
Look scifan, ICS 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 updates came through Kies and it corrupted some files along the way. One solution was to clear the cache and that help many people. I think if you wipe your phone properly before Odin. It’s pretty darn stable. This is my observation via trial and error.

This is also how I wipe my phone clean before Odin or flashing any rom.

*wipe data/factory reset

*wipe cache partition

*go to Mounts and Storage and select format /system

*go to advanced and Wipe Dalvik Cache

*Fix Permissions

Has anybody been able to get Jet Set Radio working? Was just released yesterday.

I loved this game on my Dreamcast, and the game play is simple enough that it could work well on a mobile device, but it just crashes after the loading screen for me. I think it's supposed to download additional data in addition to the 600mb Play store download, but it never does. Frustrating. App info said it was 1.75gb :eek:

I am still not sure I want to do this yet because I am considering ditching this altogether since freedompop is offering free 500MB using sprint towers soon and coverage for 4G is non-existent where I am but the option would be nice.

4g isn't possible. The OV is a 3g phone, where would you get the 4g from?

When your cloning a donor phone, you get the same options available to the donor. 3g=3g it doesn't matter the evo is 4g

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meany105:
So I bought my nexus 7 at staples and want to return it so I can get the 32gb instead. Can someone please explain How closely they look at the device and what software fixes I should run before returning it? I was rooted custom recovery + ROM + kernel before I had to revert back to stock by flashing a stock image.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhemi4x4:
Lock it all back up and a factory reset. You will have nothing to worry about. They are not looking.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesc760:
Last time I returned an item at Staples (it was a Sandisk mp3 player), they didnt even open up the box to see if everything was inside.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonic:
1) In some cases they don't even look at all. Hell, when I returned my 32GB at Sams Club (got the 3G instead), the customer service woman didn't even open the box. Granted I put everything back to stock, included all the accessories, etc., and even put the plastic screen cover back on (making it look 99% new in box), she didn't even bother looking to see if anything was inside.

2) Even when they do open the box, which I assume is going to be the standard procedure, odds are they are going to simply make sure everything is there and maybe turn it on to see if it works. "Works" being the screen shows something. They aren't going to start checking to make sure it's not rooted or if it has a custom rom/recovery/etc.

3) HOWEVER, you should still restore EVERYTHING to factory stock. Why? Because it's the nice thing to do. Unless your device is defective, they are just going to put it back on the shelves. Odds are, the person buying it is not going to know how to handle a customized tablet. Which means updates aren't going to work and they are more likely to run into problems then with stock. So be nice and take 10 minutes of your time to put things back the way they should be.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] reignlight:
Just checking in with the current developers of the Optimus G to seer how far along we're coming to seeing actual roms being ported directly from the Nexus 4 core or having a remotely aosp jelly bean based experience on our devices. I thought I read the other day in the forums that some people were working on allowing the roms to be cross compatible with both devices through some means of hacking, unless I'm mistaken?

Anyways, until then I'll just be patient and check back daily on the excellent progress that's been made on the phone within such a short timeframe of release. I for one appreciate that greatly! My excitement is what makes it so difficult to wait is all :D

IRC, it exists for a reason.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jesustheheretic:
IRC doesn't archive. If anything current progress should be included in the roadmap sticky as it pertains to just that.

I also idle IRC most of the time but 90% of the conversation seems to consists of cars, guns, LGNPST requests and IRC bot chatter. I don't mind it, I just miss a lot of pertinant information because it gets lost in waves of text.

I still love the IRC conversation though, I just miss a lot. Commenting on this 9000 year old thread wasn't an attempt to argue with people about derail subjects that they inject to downplay the differences between two context groups.

Just pointing out the simple differences between progress requests and ETA's. ;)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaunco:
First off, I have read all of the other soft brick threads on both xdadev and other sites, but all of them seem to address issues that come about as a result of a failed root attempt. My phone is 100% stock, running 4.1.1, and has been working great for months. I haven't installed any new apps in a few weeks, but my phone has been doing any regular updates. Today, my phone completely locked up about 5 separate times (about 2-3 hours apart for each). Each time, the only way to get my phone back was by pulling the battery (even the 10+ second press of the power button didn't work)... annoying, but manageable.

After the last lock up, my phone got stuck on the SAMSUNG logo (not the S-III logo). I let it sit there for about 45 minutes, and it was pulsing the entire time. Finally, I gave up and pulled the battery one more time. After putting it back in, the phone gets to the S-III logo, but the S is not pulsing. I've let it sit on that for over an hour - with no luck.

The failed root threads all suggest installing ODIN, rooting, wiping everything, then installing a stock firmware. I'm really hoping there is something else I can try, since wiping my phone would be extremely painful at the moment...

Anyone have any ideas?

Sadly as this may be, mine derped out exactly like yours one week after I bought it. It would randomly reboot, lag a lot until the day I woke up to that brilliant Samsung boot screen and nothing more helped.

Had not done anything to it so I returned it for a replacement. Turns out I had a faulty unit.

Sorry bro, guessing it's the only thing that will get yours sorted again. While I know in every product there will always be faulty units, I'm seeing dead sgs3 threads very frequently, I'm guessing Samsung's build quality isn't that good...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
It might be worth remembering ...

It might be worth remembering that there ARE a certain percentage of faulty units - those are all covered by warranty ;)

It is also worth pointing out that accuracy can be a ***** - there is no "normal" Galaxy S3 that 2 or more months ago was running 4.1.1 - so if you indeed have 4.1.1 that is as a result of some (probably OTA) upgrade at some point in that interval :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaunco:
I would love to backup my data, but since I had a stock bootloader (not CWM or one of the others) and the PIT seems gone, I'm SOL.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaunco:
Yeah, bad wording on my part. When I bought it (the first day Amazon sold the I9300), it had 4.0.4. It has had 4.1.1 since mid-October. My comment of it "working great" was in relation to the random lockups (and now the stuck at logo issue).

Lucky for me, the phone is a work phone, so I bought a new I9300 at Fry's this morning and at least got my service and all my apps back, along with the data for the apps that were nice enough to put it on the SD...

This means my focus has shifted from returning my old I9300 to a working state to simply getting data off of it. If the bootloader shows "no product", it seems that the partition table is shot. Loading a new partition table would destroy the underlying data... so, is there anything I can do (even things that are physically destructive to the phone) to get the data (even as a single binary blob) off the internal 16GB storage?

As I said, I'm happy to rip this thing to pieces, if there is a way.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] kittuboy:
Okay, I have no idea why, but my phone doesn't seem to like any ROM except for the stock. Every ROM, every update I've tried, has just gone and bricked my phone. I'm a newbie as far as development goes, but I do know my way around flashing, applying updates from SD and stuff. And I'm careful not to mess with files designed for the other ace. I also follow instructions to the letter. I'm as scared of bricks as anyone else.

So I was wondering whether any of you could help me out here. Do tell me if it's better to stick with the stock ROM though. Awaiting a reply.

Cheers :)

EDIT:

Okay, I downloaded this iDroid ROM from here

Still struggling to find a proper non-stock ROM that works on my phone X-(
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Viprdxd:
Well firstly ask why yourself why you want to flash a particular custom ROM? Does it have features you need etc? If not then stock is fine and there are many ways alter the appearance of your phone without flashing a new custom ROM via apps in the play store.

As always prior to flashing a custom ROM make sure you have all the tools and knowledge to flash back to stock if anything goes wrong. OK so by the sounds of it you have installed RB,s kernel but have not installed IDroid ROM, tell us how you tried to flash and that will give us more of an idea where you are going wrong.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] kittuboy:
Why the custom ROM: I was told by a friend (who uses a Galaxy Y) to use one, so as to make the phone less laggy. And I like to have my devices looking a little different from what everyone uses. Pardon me :o

EDIT: And yes, I do have the firmware required to flash back, as well as Odin. I've flashed before, so you could say I'm not a total waste there :D And I seem to have trouble understanding the difference between ROM and kernel.... could you please explain it to me? At least I'll know where I'm going wrong. :)
