[Sprint LG Optimus G] europys:
I was one of the minority that could not unlock/install recovery without softbricking. I tried every way to get unlocked. But inevitably every time, it would flash LG and the screen would go black but still be backlit. Everytime I had to lgnpst back (probably close to a dozen times).

Shelnutt gave me the link to the special version of FreeGee and of course it worked! It's nice to finally be unlocked and have recovery because with the v9 OTA message popping up all the time, it's time to install a v9 rooted ROM.

Like others have said, even if you are rooted/unlocked or not, buy the freegee app from the play store and kick $1 to these guys like Shelnutt because not only do they create the work, they are always there willing to help!

I didn't see a donate button for Shelnutt and am wondering one exists...

Black screen issue(fix)

i didnt have to use any program to fix mine .what you do is let your batter fully die because the sprint version of the phone you cant remove the battery and in order for you to get back to recovery more you have to get you phone to completly cut off.after it dies plug it back in .how you know if its working is you should see your charging icon come on screen .when you do let it charge for about 10 mins.when it does hold power and volume up key till use see the lg logo the let go.you should see writing on the bottom half of your screen if so your good just press volume down twice and the power button again and it will go into recovery mode. if i was you id do a factory restore and load a rom that you know that works.hope this helps.

{guide} soft-brick fix

I had this same issue lastnight. Follow these instructions and you should be G2G!

Rights and Props to AdriVelazquez.

Accessing Recovery Screen (First Step if you have bricked your phone)

This is our initial step for any problems that might arise. If you can access recovery, usually you're in a perfectly fine situation.

1. Power off your phone by holding Volume down & power at the same time.

2. When the screen shuts off, switch to entering fastboot by holding Volume Up & Power. Release immediately once you see a black screen with some text on the bottom.

3. You should see a black screen with some text at the bottom.

4. Press volume down 2x and then the power button.

5. You should see either TWRP or CWM recovery.

6. Wipe Cache, Dalvic Cache, and Factory Wipe

7. Flash new stock zip. Wipe caches again.

8. Restart.

i had ICS stock on my SGH-i777 everything was working well but i decide to flash the SHOstock3 V1.4, everything goes well the only problem seems to be that when i was flashing the ROM i don't know how my phone went lock again, i cant get the GSM network and when the phone starts says this message: SIM network unlock PIN, i have tried to unlock it with the "Galaxy S Unlock", by "Helroz" but doesn't work i dont know why... so if anyone could give me a guide please i'll give you all my thanks...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red_81:
Go read the original post of the Shostock3 thread. At the very bottom of it, in red letters, it will tell you link you to another thread with a tool to download. This tool will unlock your phone on Jelly Bean for a small fee.

Otherwise, you can downgrade to Ice cream Sandwich and use the galaxy s unlock tool. Note: if you downgrade, unlock, and then upgrade again to JB again you will lose unlock.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsaw78:
Recently, I've realized that my internal SD card's free space was going down fast, which shouldn't be happening as all my recent downloads are stored in the external_ sd section. Weird thing though, the more files I downloaded to my external SD card, the less space there is available in my internal SD card.

Checking out settings > storage I then realized, my internal sd card was being filled up under the category labelled "misc". After entering the misc section, the specifications showed that external_sd was taking up a big chunk of my internal SD.

I don't think this used to happen. I only discovered it recently after I had reformatted my phone and flashed with a official Samsung 4.03 software. My phone is on 4.04 now with an update from KIES. I've also rooted my phone with CWM-SuperSU-0.96.

Is external_sd taking up space in the internal sd an issue, or has it always been happening?

Hope you can help me on this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
No, external_sd on your internal SD is just a shortcut and not an actual folder.

If you want to know what folders are taking up most space use a program from market, there are various ones that can scan cards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsaw78:
It's weird though. It seems to be virtually taking up space on my I9100. I'm pretty sure my game files aren't that big.

It's actually sort of synchronized with my internal sd. Doesn't seem like a shortcut anymore.

You'll have to get a file explorer app then go to system/app, then find the apk and copy paste it to the root of the memory. Plug it into a pc then look for the copied apk then move it to the other device then tap to instal
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Efe64:
Or you can use dropbox/box.

Upload the apk and install it on another phone.

Went back trying to recover, but because I didn't complete the

actual backup it didn't work.

Right now the device can't be accessed from the computer as a

USB device and can't boot up either.

What can I do???!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MoJoe277:
You just need to update your recovery. Status 7 means it's it's outdated

---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

May need to Grab the stock odin file and flash through odin in download mode and start from scratch. You'll find what you need in the Super Thread in General section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lugosky:
Even if I can't plug it into the computer? I've tried plugging it into

the computer several times, from booting up, from odin mode,

from cmw recovery mode and nothing. And when I try rebooting

it hangs in the att logo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MoJoe277:
Try running Odin on PC (run as administrator). Once you have that up, put your phone into download mode and then connect to pc using the factory usb cable. Does Odin see the device? It should display some #'s at the bottom of first box on the left.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lugosky:
I tried that, but the device wasn't even recognized

by the pc. And the number didn't appear on the

do you have a SD? Using another phone or your PC, download the TWRP zip file for your note and place it into the sd card. Put the SD card in your note and flash it in recovery. Reboot, then go back into recovery, it should now be TWRP (much better than cwm). Then you can flash your rom of choice.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MoJoe277:
How's it going?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lugosky:
It went great. I followed your idea of using the external sd card. See

initially my sd card stopped working for some reason, so I didn't even

consider it. But, then I just bought a small capacity sd card and voila

it's working beautifully. Right now I'm running black star, but I don't

feel comfortable with it especially because it doesn't have good

multitasking capabilities. Currently I'm researching on which one is

the best ROM for the galaxy i717.

Also, I'm a little new to this world of smartphones so I have a question.

Can we add RAM to a smartphone the way we add RAM to a laptop or

a desktop computer? Is it possible to just open the device and snap in

a bigger and more capable memory slot or is welded in?

By the way MoJoe, thank you very very much!! You're a life saver!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MoJoe277:
Great! Glad I could be of help. Regarding RAM, no, what is built in the phone is what we have. But android is great at managing RAM and should not ever be a issue for you. Now as far add multitasking, it's handled the same way on all ROMs (JB or ICS). You just press and hold the home button and this will bring up a list of all your recent apps. You can flip back and fourth between apps that way.

[Nexus 10 Accessories] kamaltmo:
Got mine yesterday, order to the uk so the shipping was pretty fast. the screen protector is great doesn't reduce quality at all after its done setting and almost invisible, from what i seen when i was applying it its pretty strong
[Nexus 10 Accessories] falconoble:
I'm not too crazy about it. I put it on, gave it ample time to cure. The screen protector has a very tacky feel to it, slightly more than ZAGG's Invisishields do (not saying ZAGG is better by any means). I normally don't notice it on a smaller screen, but the effect seems amplified on a tablet somehow. I may just opt for a screen protector from SGP.

I left the back protector on, though I wish they'd left cutouts for the embossed logos. With how much you have to keep the film wet, it's easy to get moisture trapped in the recess, which becomes very difficult to get out.

For less than $10, it really isn't bad, though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mc.escher:
Hi everyone!

I have a rooted Galaxy S2 i9100 with ICS 4.0.3

Kernel version is 3.0.31-Siyah-s2-v5.0.1+

I just bought a USB-ethernet adapter, and I'm trying to make it work with my i9100.

The chipset on the adapter is a MCS7830, and I found the drivers for Linux kernel 3.x here:

( asix.com.tw / FrootAttach / driver / MCS783x_Linux_driver_v1.11.zip ) - sorry, I can't post links yet.

When I plug the adapter, the android recognizes it, but it doesn't generate an eth0 nor an usb0 connection on netcfg.

I've found on other threads that it could be a driver fault, and a possible solution would be to build these drivers as a kernel module. Is it possible? I'm trying to build a .ko module for it, but I still can't even handle the "hello_world.ko". I'd really appreciate and be thankful if someone could build a .ko for this driver.

Thank you in advance!

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mc.escher:
Just to let you guys know, I just did it. I'll try to post a tutorial as soon as possible to help people that might have faced the same issues with similar dongles.

I recompiled the needed drivers as modules ("make modules") with the ARM compiler that comes with the Android NDK;

Set up the .config and Makefile from SiyahKernel 5.0.1+ with some values;

Pushed the modules to my phone and loaded manually the modules.

Siyah Kernel actually has many drivers (including other usb-ethernet chipsets)! Learning how to compile specific drivers as modules might be useful for many people.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbfalex:
nice to know that there is someone how found a solution. please post a detailed tutorial! I am desperately trying to get this work for 3 weeks now, without success. i ordered different usb-ethernet-adapters from amazon, i have just 5 days left to send them all back...

a tutorial would be very helpful! btw: does your solution only work with the siyah-kernel or with every kernel on a rooted phone?

thanx in advance, alex

Hi Everybody!

I'd like to share my app that I've developed first of all for myself.

zleepZz automatically turns off features of your Android device to save battery life and disable all incoming calls, messages and emails during the night. When you go sleep, simply place your Android device face down to enable zleepZz. When you wake up, flip your phone back over to disable zleepZz.

More detailed the app just turn off WiFi, Mobile Data as well as switch to silent mode, once you flip phone or wake up time came, all these settings come to last state.

Thank you and please, let me know if there are something else you'd like to add or fix in the app.

p.s. Usually I am reader on the xda, cannot post link. zleepZz is available on Google Play, simply search for it. Thank you.
