S-On doesn't allow you to flash another recovery, to get permanent root and flash custom roms.

Unlocked bootloader (still S-On) allows you to di precedent things.

I don't know what S-Off does that is different from unlocked bootloader.

Unlocked bootloader is enough for most of us. I may have said something wrong, but that's how I understood this.

S-off let's you change radio and hboot without bricking your device
[HTC Wildfire S] heavy_metal_man:
It also allows you total control of the hardware. Ie you can change the size of your mtd partitions so you have more space for apps. Which is very useful if your rom takes up very little space on the system partition. You can allocate that space back to data. Also should you some how kill the software, being s-off means that you can run any ruu without the phone telling you no. Upgrade and downgrade. You can also perform super cid (11111111) which allows you to flash roms from any network/country. Also if you manage to get hardware s-off via a software solution ( a radio s-off and not a hboot s-off) you can run the pj76diag.nbh from the lovely guys at the xtc clip and it will sim unlock the device to any network as well. But if you use the xtc clip its self it will automatically s-off, sim unlock and do supercid :D

FIXED

Hello,

Since yesterday I am not able to connect my Phone to Zune. I tried another laptop wich worked fine..

What I tried so far:

Reinstall zune + drivers.

Reinstall Windows 8.

Hard reset WP7.8

Diffrent USB port.

Even the device manager is not regonizing my Phone, or unknown hardware. Though it is connecting to another laptop. Other USB hardware does not give any problems.

Any help?

Dravik
[Nokia Lumia 800] dravik:
Seems that my USB cable is dead, tried diffrent USB hardware on my cable wich are also not wokring..

Thanks
[Nokia Lumia 800] Lanex777:
No, just uninstall everything on pc affiliated with nokia, except ncs itself and zune, and reboot your pc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] acPIZZA:
I have owned the phone for just over two weeks and recently it started doing this thing where it does not charge properly when the oem charger or any other samsung use chargers that I own are inserted.

Sometimes re-inserting the charger a bunch of times gets it going. Sometimes you insert the charger and it starts going, then flip flops back and forth between charging and not charging.

The first time this happened I had to let it die completely before it would take a charge.

This is extremely frustrating. Does anyone have any advice? Is this a software or hardware issue? I have cleaned out both the cords and the ports and I don't belive I would have damaged them in any way. Any advice would help.

Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
Are you on a custom kernel? ROM? If stock then u might consider warranty replace.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] acPIZZA:
Stock non rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
Unless someone else wants to jump in with a different solution I'd say take it back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaWolf850:
If you jiggle the cable around, is there any sweet spot where it charges properly? My Thunderbolt does this too, and I found with mine if you force the cable towards one side it will always work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
I've had this happen to mine a few times as well. Would just stick somewhere and doesn't want to charge anymore. I saw a possible fix for it somewhere online, I believe they were talking about the S2 not charging, and he did some combination of pulling the battery out, plugging it in, then putting the battery back in and turning it on. I can't remember exactly but you might search it and see if you can find it. It fixed it for a lot of people, but it seems to be intermittent, and more than anything I've attributed it to the cord. It doesn't sit very well, and one of the times it happened, the plug wasn't all the way into the wall. I actually just had it happen this morning where I was stuck at 95 percent, and I just rebooted and now it's going back up again.

I also have issues where the screen goes black (SOD) and won't come back on without a battery pull. Again, very intermittent and I'm trying to pinpoint the cause, because it happened more often when I was on 240 DPI, and when I was messing with the kernel cpu. I'm actually underclocked now on Perseus to 1.3 on the 5g profile, and running smoothly ever since(2 full days of same setup and no issues)

The other variables I've noticed when I get the SOD, is it's usually when my battery is lower, and I might still have radios on, such as Bluetooth, but nothing paired.

Sent from my unlocked & underclocked Note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] acPIZZA:
Yeah I think it might have something to do with the female end on the phone being so recessed from the plastic housing. Either way this is annoying me and I don't want my phone acting like this even if it is intermittent. I will start looking into a warranty replacement.

I bought the phone off contract, does anyone know if the return policy for an off contract phone is any different than the typical Verizon 14 days?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssnalagu:
Hello,

In my Samsung Galaxy SII I9100 few day back i faced a very strange problem. When i connect my mobile to travel charger its shows the charge notification but it is not charging and when i try to connect my mobile to USB cable which came along with mobile still the same problem. but i was able to transfer files to my moble and back to system it is transferring in full speed and i was also able to flash firmware with that cable. Please help me to identify the issue.

Note : i tried with my bro samsung y duos charger. :confused: it is working properly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Are you serious? You clearly state that when you use somebody elses charger that it works properley so the answer is blatantly obvious... Get a new charger!!

Also do not use ridiculous topic titles like "help me". Titles like this are so annoying, titles are supposed to be descriptive, not completely and utterly generic with no meaning.

Sorry but this not supported any!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] widofmaker:
All right, first thing first. Thanks to everybody for this amazing forum and all support.

Well. Here's my story:

1) Planned on installing CM10 nightly

2) Went to recovery (TWRP v2.2.0) and by mistake wiped everything :/ (Cache, Dalvik Cache, Factory Reset, System Internal Storage)

3) In effect i wiped everything including system.

4) Still have access to TWRP and download mode.

Does anybody have a clue how to fix that and install CM10 again?

PS.

1) internal storage does not mount under system (WIN7)

2) TWRP does not recognize microSDXC (32gbz) formated to either exFat or NTFS. (Tried 4 (four) of them)

Should i buy another micro sd like 2gb, format it to Fat32 and drop CM.zip there ? Or need i do something else?

Very respectfully.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] htcbrazilian:
That happened to me I just downloaded the rom to a sd card from my old phone put it in my s3 and installed it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] widofmaker:
Hey thank you for quick answer. Do you know if there is any limitation for TWRP? It does not read my 32gb MicroSDXC.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Deoxlar:
Go into download mode and re flash then stock rooted rom.

Then install your twrp and try cm again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
Personally, I would (try to?) use adb with the phone booted into TWRP to transfer the ROM you want to flash over to the phone's internal storage, and go from there.

If that's not a possibility for whatever reason, you'd be best off starting by reflashing a stock rooted image with Odin and going from there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] widofmaker:
Well. First of all thank you all for all your help in support. Got it back to stock with root (Odin flash). However there is another small problem that i can't figure out. TWRP itself seem not to have access to anything. I mean it sees all / but after openning /sdcard or anything else all it sees is empty folders. It doesn't have an access to external sd either (when you check log it sees that it couldn't mount ext sd correctly [even if after boot to stock system it recognizes it witout any issues).

Any idea how to solve this problem? What has been tried:

1) Reflash recovery (TWRP 2.2 using ODIN)

2) moving all files to /

3) RootExplorer see files (cm.zip) after reboot TWRP doesn't

4) Installing GooManager (it crashes after granting supersu permissions)

Very Respectfully.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
With all those problems, flash to stock rooted and start over. You will be better off in the long run. You may want to also format your external sd.

Don't flash twrp with Odin.

Rooted stock

Dl and use goo manager to get twrp
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] twanskys204:
What about a stock kernel? Just my chime in
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] widofmaker:
Allright small update.

1) ReFlashed to rooted stock (root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.tar.md5)

2) Installed GooManager

3) Installed TWRP (using GooManager)

4) Downloaded lastest CM10 nightly (cm-10.1-20121218-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip) using GooManager

5) Flashed cm-10.1-20121218-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip from GooManager menu (FlashROM) - Wiped Dalvik & Cache

Now I'm stacked with CM boot splash for past 5 min hoping it just takes longer that it should.

Any ideas?

Very Respectfully.

EDIT:

Booting into recovery and performing factory reset fixes problem.

Thanks to everybody who helped.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zetsui:
GJ take it sure and slow. Other than flashing stock/rooting form Odin I wouldn't flash anything form Odin. Once you have super user on your phone, leave Odin out and do everything from phone

That's the safest route and it gets easier from here. The countless hours you spent are much easier the more you do it. Shouldn't take more than 20 minute to backup and flash roms and new apps from now on
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] widofmaker:
Oh boy.

Almost done. But here are another tiny problems that just bother me and but I think they're solvable.

1) GooglePlay suddenly gives "No Connection" error, even though every other app that requires connection (Messenger, Browser) work just fine.

Have to mention that it worked for a while, installed couple apps (drop some more to install in queue and when I woke up - FAIL!)

Things done:

-Forced to stop

-ClearedData & Cache

Is there any other solution to fix it rather than reflashing gapps ?

2) The ExternalSD is mounted under PC as Internal Storage and vice versa.

When you click "Samsung -GHS-I747) in my computer it shows both with proper sizes but once you click them it opens the other.

No clue how to solve that one.

Very respectfully.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zetsui:
1. you are flashing a version of gapps that is out of touch with your rom or you did not flash it correctly/cleanly. I remember no matter how many times I flashed gapps I wouldn't get it to sync. Backed all user apps to Titanium backup. Did a clean install from scratch, and wallah it worked. Last sort.

Without doing that though there is usually one that is compatible that is listed on your rom page. Flash that one. For me that is 10/22 but I remember it giving that same error for a while so I ended up flashing the previously compatible version before that which was 7/26. Goo.im might help here, I haven't used it myself. Once you find a working gapps version etc. Store your 'safe' builds in one folder

2. Not sure what you mean. When you click your phone you should see internal and external storage on your phone. They are what they say they are. People tend to piss on not being able to find the right file size and folder attributes on this phones usb mount. It is a common problem. Probably one of the few problems on the phone. Annoying but manageable
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] widofmaker:
1) Ended up reflashing gapps with goomanger (script to TWRP)

2) What i mean is that under phone it recognizes them perfectly. Just when I connect phone through USB to PC, my PC tends to mix them up. Just shows ExSD as Internal and Internal as ExSD. No biggy, just tried to fix as many tiny issues as possible before I hit deployment.

Very respectfully.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnurrbidurr:
sorry to post this here, but I haven't permission yet to post in the dev forum.

I downloaded the stable Biohazard V7 yesterday (I'm upgrading from V3) I only get the initial boot logo, and after a few seconds of a blank screen (no boot animation) I end up with the word "slim" and 2 moving cogs in the bottom right hand corner.

I know it's been mentioned in the original development thread, but that was before this new stable version was released.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Guys is CM10.1 really worth trying I'm asking because I use my phone to take a lot of photos nit videos but mainly photos . Also GPS and all . I'm asking all this because the last time I tried CM9 few days back it still had the slow USB speed problem but that bug was not listed in the CM9 WIKI which was weird . And CM10.1 is listing only few bugs on its known bug list . Thanks for replying
[Galaxy S II General] anto.danny:
CM 10.1 has very good battery life,still has slow usb transfer,no project butter,tv out,fm,problem with streaming,video rec effects broken..can be used as a daily drive ,the rom is so smooth its almost like the project butter works(thanks to vsync patch)
[Galaxy S II General] cooladityarai:
What i know is that.....cm10.1 have project butter working ( what we call triple buffering ) but it requires some improvement (devs say) ,fm not supported and will be never because cyanogen dont, tv out will also be never fixed ( proprietry undocumented ) and rest others are gonna to be fixed soon.

But the main **** is that samsung is delaying their release schedule,when nexuses are running on 4.2 we are still hoping for 4.1 ,yet we tasted pure aosp 4.1 but partially cooked ( blame to samsung coz no sources no work ). So i m really thankful teamhacksung who are miles ahead from crapsung.

Considering making the jump to CM too.

How is picture quality? As good as stock? Gaming performance? Any glitches?
[Galaxy S II General] Ruku1994:
IMHO picture quality is OK comparing to samsung rom. If it's as good as stock, you have to try and check yourself, many things depends on your personal taste. Can't tell you anything about games 'cos I'm not a player. Glitches occurs here and there, but only if you are doing something in background. Overall performance is better with CM, and it is more responsive, but as I said you have to see yourself.
[Galaxy S II General] Thrais:
I looked up the known problems for it, and decided that I still wanted to try CM10.1 but not lose stock.

I installed Syiah Kernel, which let's you do dual-boot. So now I have both CM10.1 and my stock ICS on my phone. You can switch between them at boot and choose which you you'd like to you're primary ROM. So you could try that and play with CM to see if you'd like to keep it around

Any custom rom or cm won't be ever capable of giving the best audio/video/visuals as stock rom. The reason is that the cpu/gpu source codes are not open.

This is a great reason to stick to stock rom with enhancements/upgrades.
