[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demikos89:
Thanks all.

Also, I searched, but couldn't get an exact answer. People were asking around that topic, but exactly how I wanted to ask (although I am sure a heavy search would've found me my answer) Also since this is a Q&A section I thought even asking the obvious question wouldn't make anybody mad. So thank you for your questions.

I dont usually create a lot of topics to ask questions, but only do it when I think it would be better if I get the opinion from more experienced guys so I wont brick anything.

Thanks a lot guys, and the whole XDA Community. The main reason Android is today the number.1 OS on smartphones.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demikos89:
one more question please.

if the phone is on stock 4.0.4 and with siyah kernel, updating the phone with Kies when updates are available, will it brick it or something like that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
Kies won't work anymore. You have to flash your rom(s) through Odin or via CWM.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
NO, it will not brick ur phone for sure, and for now take out that 'will my phone Brick' thing from ur mind ma8:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demikos89:
Phone wasnt mine. thats why i am afraid of brick. haha
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demikos89:
This guy did not like the Custom ROM world so he asked for everything to be back.

But when restoring the Nandroid backup the SeuperSU app CWM app and STweaks was there so I deleted all these all these apps with RootExplorer and than deleted RootExplorer too. I hope I didn't do any bass mistake doing that because i have no money to pay him a new S2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
after all that deletion, if the phone is wrk'ng normally then nothing to worry:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demikos89:
i don't know. it worked well but i didn't try to reboot it because i feared if it will not turn on. i hope he doesn't call me saying his phone is not powering up anymore.

I'm living in fear. it is so awkward you can't believe. can't keep my head cool no matter how much i try.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
the Nadroid backup u restored, was it a stock rom one:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demikos89:
yes 4.0.4 stock with Siyah kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
Dont worry ma8, it will reboot normally without any issue's, since u have deleted only apps:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demikos89:
Oh god. thanks for this news.

Yep I only deleted apps nothing more. thank you , you made my day. i can have a well deserved sleep now. thanks

one thing i learned today: never tell anyone you know some little about either Android, Windows or stuff like that. risky and not with it.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] graffixnyc:
Here is the Official JB Update for the 8010(also works on the 8013 which I'm running it on).

It's just the system and boot images and is to be used by other devs for their roms. System is rooted with busybox

WARNING: THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP. It's just a zip that contains the system and boot images. This is only for experienced users/devs. Sorry but I do not have the time to create a flashable zip so please do not ask.

I also did not change anything so it's 100% stock with the exception of being rooted and having busybox

if you use these images for your rom just give me credit:

I am not responsible if you mess up your device

Thanks to alirey for uploading the OTA update zip

Download Link: http://d-h.st/1iG
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] graffixnyc:
reserved for me...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] Asure:
We can just create a zip for use with CWM with this right?

Or does dd work (from cwm by adb) to put them into flash? I forget the original commands for flashing img.. flash_erase? flash_write.. aargh :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] graffixnyc:
If you use flash img (like how a rom flashes the boot.img) it should work. I've never tried though with a system.img

You could also dd and as long as you have root in cwm you should be able to do it via adb This should NOT be done if you are booted into android only when booted into recovery

dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9

dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

of course that's assuming you copy the images to the root of your sdcard otherwise replace /sdard with the path of the images
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] AndroHero:
I've little experience with samsung or there nand security. But can we just not flash the kernel & system.img via fastboot?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] graffixnyc:
I don't think that there is fastboot functionality on the Samsung devices (Nexus devices excluded) I'm not sure if you can run fastboot commands when in download mode or not(I never tried)

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] Pirate-X:
Arggh I've been waiting for this rom, thanks for sharing ! I tried to flash my n8010 to XXALI3 (german) to get OTA but it doesn't work ^^

Also, I'm familiar with Odin and CWM flash, but I have no idea how to use a .img. I found topics about it and I'm not sure, it looks pretty complicated. If someone tries to install this img on his note 10.1 please let us know =)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] AndroHero:
Just unyaffs it. Put it in a .zip n flash it :p
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] Pirate-X:
I had to google your answer to understand ^^

But even if I have to focus on my exams right now, I hate being stuck so close to the goal so : I download N8010-XXBLK9.zip and I try. Stop me if I'm wrong :

- download unyaffs (found on xda with some cygwin .dll included...absolutely don't know what it means) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1112906

- download XXBLK9

- Extract XXBLK9 where I'm supposed to find system .img and boot .img ?!

- then comes the dark side : what am I supposed to do ? sorry I don't know anything about this method :o

( I know this is not the point in this topic but that would help :P )

That is exactly what I did ... but don't worry I gave up with this method, I found the JB update.zip to put on the german xxali3 I downloaded last week. And it ROCKS :p

For all the new bees (that's me) and lazy bums (that's me too !) : just follow this topic : EASY PEASY !!

Install the german xxali3 with odin (easy), apply THE update zip from ext sd and you'll be under XXBLK9 in few minutes :D

[General Questions and Answers] erezson:
Hello,

I want to buy Samsung Stratosphere 2 SCH-i415 from someone who got it from Verizon.

I don't live in US and I want to use it in other country. If I unlock it - can I use it with any mobile carrier?

Thanks:cowboy:
[General Questions and Answers] 9lz:
Hey, was looking around the forum for something else and stumbled onto this thread.

Maybe you've already solved this, but here's the answer is anyone else are looking;

First off, if the phone has been activated first time with a verizon sim card in the US already, it should be unlocked and ready for calling and sms. Verizon doesn't sim lock the phone, only lock APN's for GPRS/3G traffic (solution for that below)

Just bought this phone off ebay, got it to Norway and set about using it with a norwegian sim card.

First thing I needed to do was bypass the verizon setup wizard, as it just kept saying "non-verizon sim" and asking me to reboot.

The solution for this was remarkably simple, http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=36lfn9sBo70

"1. Make sure you are on the select language screen.

2. Tap bottom left, Tap bottom right, Tap bottom left, Tap bottom right, Press Volume Up Key in that exact same order. Watch video if you are confused.

3. All Done. "

Next is rooting, need to do this for the next steps;

Depending on what software you have (4.0.4 or 4.1.2), grab the system image from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2078615 (page 8 for 4.0.4, page 7 for 4.1.2)

Then we want to remove the annoying "non-verizon sim" notification;

Use Titanium Backup pro to freeze the app called "Setup Wizard 1.0" (the one with verizon logo on it, not the version 1.3 one)

Job done. Now you can freely use any sim card anywhere for calling and sms (afaik)

For GPRS/3G traffic you will need to add your APN settings, but Verizon has locked this menu, so we need another way in.

I used "APN Manager Pro" to add my carriers APN data, the app found it in the database and did everything for me.

There are probably other, free ways to do this (editing apn xml file manually and so on) but I found this app well worth the few bucks they charge for it.

If you want to do it manually there are some other guides around here, and googling will get you some hints too.

The only problem I have left now is trying to get mine updated to Jelly Bean, as Verizon only uses OTA update, and won't let me do it from Norway with a non-verizon sim card, but I have faith we will find a solution for this too.

Otherwise a great phone for the full-qwerty addicts out there :good:
[General Questions and Answers] tezboto:
Hey I in sweden using a swedish sim card and I got the gprs/3g to work somehow without rooting. I managed to upgrade the firmware via wifi, and I think that opened the apn settings. but my main question is if its possible to open the 4G cause it only has gprs/3G now. and I wonder if u also just get gprs/3g or do get 4g also?
[General Questions and Answers] scopedial:
It can't be this easy can it?

Great thanks! I will be testing this out later today. I hope it works!
[General Questions and Answers] ianisthewalrus:
confirmation

hey guys,

i can confirm i got this working on china mobile with some changes.

didnt find a database option in apn manager. i found the manual data here: (pm for link. not enough posts to make links apparently)

also found in order to get apn manager to save a new apn i needed to make it a system app with titanium.

also found, you dont need apn manager at all. if you go to settings ->more settings->mobile networks->access point names and then hit the "menue" button (three vertical dots at the bottom right of the phone), you get an option to add access point. fill out your info, and hit that button again, and you will see an option to save.

hope that helps someone else.

Look at the thread [Q] Rooting the Samsung Stratosphere II? (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2078615&page=27) at page 27 post #262 how to get a rooted image of MF1.

And in the same thread at page 31 post #305 how to get a rooted image of MJ2 which is currently (feb 2014) the latest ROM version for Stratosphere II.

Thanks to kado01 for his work.

I has been confirmed that the Stratosphere II can be rooted by the saferoot method.

Look in the above link at page 26 post #257.

Since version MF1 you can easily access the APN settings. So, no need to install any APN manager.

I have simply added the APN settings for my network provider manually and it works great.

And finally please take a look at the above thread at page 31 post #308 and the following to help kado01 get an unbrick file for his problem?

I can't do it because I am unable to upgrade my phone to MJ2 with the MJ2 bootloader because I don't live in the US and my phone is not activated on Verizons network. I can only install kado01's MJ2 rooted image.

Thanks.

Add new APN possible :)

How to add apn to verizon samasung galaxy stratosphere 2 i415 (Root required)

(I found this from some forum while I was searching for how to add APN for my brothers Verizon S3. It worked 100%. All credits go to the guy who posted it there. I didn't remember the address. And sorry for my bad english.)

Go to market install BuildProp Editor

Once installed find and open Build Prop Editor

Hit the menu button and select Edit

Scroll to the bottom of screen and add the following lines

ril.sales_code=LOL

ro.csc.sales_code=LOL

Hit the save button at the top right hand corner of the screen(looks like a disk)

Once this is done saving restart the phone

After restarting go to Settings>More Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names>Menu Button>+ New APN

Add desired carriers APN info, when finished hit menu button and save

Power down and change to your desired SIM card if you hadn't already done so

Power back on and go to Settings>More Settings>Mobile Networks> Access Point Names (if done properly you should see the APN data you entered for your respective carrier).

Select the respective APN listing and then you should have working data

Congrats you can now natively add in any APN desired.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rivman20:
I have been running Xenon HD rom for some time now, but just recently, every time I try to update to the newest version when I reboot the system, it get stuck on the boot image. I end up pulling the battery and then a bunch of my apps are missing. I have never had this issue before. If I do a clean install, it loads just fine but I obviously have to reload everything. I would really like to not have to do a clean install every time when I am just updating the same rom. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] victor00100:
When you update a rom your boot screen will stay for a lounger amount of time because of the changes it made so wait a bit longer (5min) or try another recovery in my opinion TWRP is the best or maybe you could make a backup of your data before flashing it and the restore the data and there you go or you could also try using another rom if this problem stays and go back in 2 weeks to xenon hd and see if you have still the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rivman20:
Yeah, I left my phone for 30min and it was still on the boot screen. Pardon my ignorance, but I am not familiar with TWRP. Right now I use ROM Manager. Is TWRP in place of ROM Manager? How do I get TWRP and load it?

Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
how old is the version you are running vs the age of the new one?

are they different android version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rivman20:
Just their most recent release. I believe the previous version was 11.30.12 and I was updating to 12.8.12, so same version of Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
you might have to wipe depending on what was changed between those 2 dates.

if you're having bootloop problems, you have to wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] victor00100:
TWRP is a recovery it is the best in my opinio because you don't have as many problems like you have with cwm you just flash TWRP after doing some research and then you flash and then you update your rom with you recovery

I recently found the 'Security options' menu item in the mail client, it seems that one can use it to manage certificates for S/MIME.

However whenever I try to import my certificate from internal memory (.key, .cer and .p12 sitting there) I just get the following message: "No key files to import".

Were does the mail client expect the keys and in what format?

The keys and certificates (4096bit) where generated using openssl and work fine with Thunderbird.

I have already installed the CAs certificate, which worked without a problem.

If you received an update notification last night (12 Dec 2012), the update is probably 4.0.3r5a, not 4.0.3r5. You cannot root 4.0.3r5a using Condi's S.onyTablet.S [ALLinONE] tool. However, if the update is truly 4.0.3r5, then try rooting again using ALLinONE v5.3 instead of the v5.2 that your picture shows you were using.

AT&T actively blocks teather if you don't pay for it. Not sure of a work around as they are blocking it from there end not the phones end. That said some of the thethering apps claim to be able to defeat this, the one Koush made, clockworkmod tether, comes to mind but it only has a 14 day free trial, $4.99 after that. It also requires a desktop client to be installed. Also is this plain AT&T or Straight Talk AT&T? Straight Talk limits you to 100 MB of data per day with a 2 GB cap. If you go over either they throttle you to 2G speeds for the rest of the month.
