[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nufcme:
Hi,

Another Noob bricked his phone here SGS2 UK i9100.

I spent hours and hours reading all the FAQ's, various How To's but obviously not well enough although thought I had.

Im normally quite competent at things like this, dating back to early days chipping playstation 1's etc, done all sorts over the years without a hiccup. Had to fail sometime!

After the failed attempt, I suspect I may have flashed a custom ROM not compatible with the stock Kernel????

I rooted my i9100 using Chainfire's method:

[30.10.2012][CF-Root 5.6] K**,LA*,LP-126BHJQ73SC89DEFWGKIQOTUXY,LQ-5B - su+bb+CWM4/5

All went fine, root access, SU etc..

I then tried installing a custom ROM:

[ROM][4.2.1]Slim Bean - I9100 [Beta 2]

Followed the relevant instructions:

■Download software

■Enter CWM, wipe data, format system ( in mounts and storage)

■Flash Slim-GT-I9100-4.2.1.Beta.2-OFFICIAL then flash Slim_Gapps

All seemed to go fine, after flashing each of the above phone reported succesfu in CWM.

Anyway, rebooted as per instructions, phone shut down never to power up again!

Cant access download or recovery mode, nothing. Totally dead.

Ive ordered a USB Jig but doubt this will do anything at all?

Can someone please confirm what I did wrong (Should I have flashed Kernel 1st?)

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
What ROM were you on?

Please don't say 4.0.4.....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkyG82:
You should have done a nandroid backup after rooting. That would have given you something to fall back on.

Try removing battery for at least 10 mins. Refit. Plug in to wall charger. Give it an hour or so to see if it wakes up. If not then wait for the jig to arrive.

How much battery did you have when you flashed slim? Also, I wouldn't have formatted system. Always had issues with that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nufcme:
YES, I was on 4.0.4 :(

I did do a nandroid backup after rooting.

After trying to install another ROM prior to SlimBean, which kept hanging at the Samsung logo, I managed to restore from the nandroid backup fine, but after this one failing I cant enter recovery or download mode to recover, the phone is just dead! :crying:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If you wiped with a 4.0.4 kernel it's sayonara. Service centre for MB replacement. Fair chance they won't be able to tell you borked it & you'll get it done under warranty (assuming your warranty is still valid to begin with).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Sorry man, but I gotta show this:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nufcme:
Thanks for confirming what I already thought!!!

The 4.0.4 brick was 1st thing I read after, the law of sod!

Well out of warranty unfortunatley, I had this phone since s2 release day.

Unfortunatley to make matters worse, this is the missus' phone now since I got my s3 so I am really in trouble!!!!!!

How much am I looking for a MB replacement at Service Centre in UK?

Would this be something I could do myself buying a spare/repair phone off ebay with broken screen or something?

Thanks again for help.

I also have one i9100 it was GB out of box.

1. I updated with kies to 4.0.4 or 4.0.3 im not 100% sure was some time ago.

2. I flashed with odin leaked 4.1.2 jb.

And leaked version have some bags and i would racher go back to ics. Is it safe to flash stock 4.0.3/4 with odin?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
You're talkin 200 euro or something like that (mobo).

And yeah, you could buy a broken SII and replace it, long shot tho.

Don't tell your wife just now, let the weekend go by (Run now, while you can!)

could try jtag too, still a long shot

HANG ON!!!!

Just realised the warranty is 24 months, got the phone on release day, this was end of April / beginning May 2011, right? That gives me 3-4 month left :)

Well, got to be worth a shot to save my balls!

Nothing to loose since its goosed!

I tried the factory reset on the nexus 4 and all contact list would show but after about 2 days it will go back to only show one contact list. Also, I tried deleting the device and resetting it up to connect and after about 2-3 days it will disappear again to only show one contact. I never had this issue when I had my sgs3 for 5 months. The note 2 works perfectly too. Is anyone else having this issue with idrive and this phone? What did you do to get it resolved?

[HTC One S] Gii226:
Hey everybody,

is it possible to build a MIUI JB Rom on JellyBAM Base? :confused:
[HTC One S] Darknites:
There is already one that's based on CM10 and there is no need to base it on JellyBam.
[HTC One S] Gii226:
AW: MIUI Rom

Of course but JellyBam is much faster and bugless than pure cm10...
[HTC One S] Darknites:
I don't see how its bugless compared to CM10 when it based off that. You will gain nothing using JellyBam as a base.

hi,

there is this nifty little chrome extension called "Cloud Save" in short it enables you to save internet content to different cloud services with just a few clicks. I mainly use this for saving news article pics to picasa with only 2 clicks. Example below.

Hi,

My phone is a rooted (via Exynos Abuse) GN7100.

I would like to install custom recovery.

In my previous HTC Desire Z this was dead simple:

Root, install rom manager, tap "flash clockwork mod" and poof we are done.

How do i do this sans-odin\heimdall?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3v0:
Goo Manager in the play store
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heathenasparagus:
I am not sure I understand.

I only want to replace custom recovery, not custom rom.

How do I make sure it doesn't replace the ROM completely ?

It only has "Flash ROMS"
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Simply flash it with mobile odin

If you have tar file for cwm, use 'recovery' tab in mobile odin

Or

If you have cwm recovery in flushable zip, use ota/update zip tab in mobile odin to flash
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3v0:
Goo manager asks you to install a custom recovery before it will allow you to flash a rom.

Just ordered this Yoobao off eBay - $15.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/221161637630?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648

I like the industrial design and the BIG soft padded corners. Also like that the silicone on the sides is completely enclosed in the plastic surround to prevent misshaping with use (as silicone can do). To me a very masculine, professional looking case.

If you drop this I have a feeling it is more likely to bounce without damaging the corners as might happen with a thinner case. Thin sides, fat corners - to me that is the perfect design.

* Also get free shipping and a screen protector.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Kiahnlliya:
Looks very nice! That will protect the device very well indeed.

Kind of reminds me of the Seidio Active case that I use. I would have gotten this for myself but ended up getting the Active in the end because I really want an integrated kickstand. I always watch videos on my lunch breaks and got tired of propping the phone up to a nice viewing angle using rolled up napkins or other random stuff.

This looks like a fantastic case for those who don't need/want a kickstand though.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mitchellvii:
Re: Masculine looking, classy, strong case.

I feel ya on the kickstand. Wish this had one. But I just really liked it so I got it anyway. Many of the cases with kickstands have raised backs where the kickstand is which causes some wobble when I try to write. The Seido Active is nice but I don't care for the scalloped sides. Reminds me of tires for some reason.

Anyway for $15 hard to go wrong here.

Nevertheless those big soft corners should make propping easyas it won't tend to slide.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] juanaraya92679:
Re: Masculine looking, classy, strong case.

Since when are poka dots masculine? I'll pass.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mitchellvii:
Re: Masculine looking, classy, strong case.

Lol I wasnt aware black on black dots were gender specific?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Beowulf_pt:
Looks on in black. But is the edge rubber really soft and grippy?

I got this case and really like it, nice sober look, except for the fact that the plastic itself is somewhat hard. While the pattern makes it grippy, I'd prefer a softer tire-like rubber that would really stick to your hands.

Also having soft rubber bouncy corners might help absorb some energy on falls, reducing chances of chassis compression cracking the panel.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gpgalanis:
Same here my friend. The front looks good. The back looks terrible and for sure the exact opposite of masculine.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mitchellvii:
Re: Masculine looking, classy, strong case.

For me it is the 60's industrial design look that makes it masculine.

Nevertheless I find the Seido Active Case to be incredibly ugly but many love it. Everyone has their taste.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JohnnyRocks:
Not sure why there is so much arguing going on about what is essentially nothing more than one's opinion versus another's opinion. I'm in the "not too masculine" camp, given they are polkadots. I bought this case for my wife, and, she likes it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nels69:
Nice ! thank you !!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mitchellvii:
Re: Masculine looking, classy, strong case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mitchellvii:
Re: Masculine looking, classy, strong case.

Really? I can't imagine a woman carrying this case.

But you are right. It really comes down to taste. I mean people actually lay down $60 for the Otterbox Defender case which may be the ugliest case ever made.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gpgalanis:
It is more about how you present something. As you said if I say that my total black commuter is an elegant case I will expect people to disagree. Same thing here. If the title was for example "rugged case" it would make more sense compared to "Masculine looking, classy, strong case".
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JohnnyRocks:
Here you go. Not exactly the same style, but, the same concept (heavily padded corners with nice thick TPU or Silicone), without the branding on the back, with free shipping, and half the price of the one you paid. Also, no polkadots, which to me is a benefit.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mitchellvii:
Re: Masculine looking, classy, strong case.

Lol I will be sure to present all future postings to your editorial desk prior to submission. I titled it "Masculine looking, classy, strong case" because that is exactly what I think it is.

"Rugged" is not a word I would have used to describe this. Probably a good reason I didn't.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mitchellvii:
Re: Masculine looking, classy, strong case.

Dude I can see why you don't like my suggested case. Your recommendation is HIDEOUS. You actually like that? Wow.

Can we just agree to no longer argue taste? We aren't even in the same galaxy.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JohnnyRocks:
I think what you are failing to understand here, regardless of how many people try to explain it it to you is that you stated an opinion. Once you do that, you open yourself up to other people stating dissenting ones. And, you didn't seem to like that too much. You indicated you felt it was masculine. Other people posted opinions to the contrary, and you proceeded to argue certain points which are really not debatable (you can't debate opinion as there is no such thing as a correct one). You even went so far as to dismiss another poster's opinion by citing the "lack of gender specificity" of polka dots, when you are the very person that brought up the gender specific nature of this case.

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 AM ----------

LOL. I don't like that case any more than I like the one you presented as "classy" and "masculine" but, here you go again calling one case hideous and yours less so. You are, without question, clueless on the matter. I give up. Good luck to you and your masculine polka-dot case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mitchellvii:
Re: Masculine looking, classy, strong case.

Johnny,

Did you even read the OP? Did I say the dots on the back make it look masculine? No, I said the industrial design makes it look masculine. As a matter of fact I never even mentioned the dots.

Oh well. Have a good one.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
No need to post enormous inline images. We know what forced download mode is. It's forcing you to flash something in order to have the phone boot.

Are you sure you flashed I9100G firmware on your phone. If you attempted to flash I9100 firmware, there's your problem.

Irrespective, you need to flash an I9100G stock rom via Odin. If that's what you did, try again.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iytrix:
Hello all!

So I have a KF2 and am using what is basically this case

http://www.targus.com/us/productdet...l1=&cp=&bannertxt=Cases for Tablet & e-Reader

Now, I like it, but the one I got said it was for generic 7" e-readers. Now, what I wanted was basically a book-style case but I often find myself at home removing the case because I want to grip the solid edge. With the case it's pretty much holding onto the back part of the case because the tablet sits in the middle, instead of flush to the edge.

So, firstly, is the KF2 the exact dimensions of the original KF or the KFHD?

Secondarily, do you guys know of any specific cases for the device that sit as flush to the edges as possible? Doesn't even necessarily have to be a book style case, and having a stand is nice, but not required. I just want a case that protects the screen and whatnot when it's in my bag, and to actually let me hold the edges.

Thanks!

Hey fellas,

Got my hands on the popular Rearth Ringke Slim case for the Nexus 4. As most of you know by know, this is an ultra thin snap back case. The port and cutouts line up perfectly and it remains the slimmest Nexus 4 I've seen personally. This is by far my favorite of the snap back cases on the market, simply because it is so thin. Unfortunately, this also means it provides the least protection of the bunch. If you're looking for a thin and stylish snap back case, this is one to check out!

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dolceka:
More ROM = Fast Performance.. What you will do will increase internal memory not saving RAM.. If you want to do this, so keep more than 50 MBs in internal memory so you will not affect on ROM and at the same time you will get more internal memory which is a good thing to add some apps.. But remember, some apps may auto run after transferring it to ROM I think like "Tunein Radio" for example.. I have 71 free MBs on ROM and my device's performance is cool :) I am using Apps2ROM in case you need and app to do this action.. Good luck :)
