[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Hum..let's say that while you are in 4.0.4 you are in danger (If you wanna modify your device, software related).

If you wanna play it safe, you got 2 options:

1) downgrade from 4.0.4 to 4.0.3

2) flash a safe kernel (like siyah).

Just start digging about all these, read some threads, some guides, watch some youtube videos of flashing and rooting.

After that, if you still want to root/flash your device, you'll find many guides & tutorials in the general forum. Just like this.

Modifying your device is not hard, you just have to

know what you are doing

and learn the what-not-to-do tips.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr3am3rz:
I see. Thanks alot! =)

And 1 more thing is, after downgrading from my current firmware, do I need to care about whether it's GINGERBREAD or ICS? And what about the build number? Because I have seen there's quite alot of build on the net, so I'm really quite lost and confused.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Gingerbread is just the previous version on ICS. Some consider it better, other consider it old. You just have to remain far from brick bug. Download gotbrickbug app from play store if you want a good old scare ;)

Don't worry about the builds, just make sure that you flash an I9100 ROM.

Still, you're up for some reading first. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr3am3rz:
Am still kinda scared though. Anyway, thanks alot! =)

I am having an issue I can't seem to get around. I have the CM10.1 Alpha take 2 ROM on my phone, works great. I want to put HellyBean 20130114 on my phone. I don't have gingerbread bootloader, I have T959UVJFD.tar from N00B in N33D's tutorial way back when. I am ready to flash the GB bootloader I want. I can't get into download mode. No idea why but I also have been unable to connect to my computer with usb debugging on since I flashed ICZen back in august. SOOOO anyone have any answers? Can I use my external sd card to flash a GB bootloader on the phone by itself or do I absolutely need Odin?

Any help is appreciated and I will give people with answers instructions on how to claim a free hug. Thank you.

For those who use scripts in browsers this will be very useful

1- Install Opera Mobile Addons Capabilities

2- Open opera mobile and type opera:config in address bar

3- The second line will say "find", click in there and type User JavaScript

4- Check User JavaScript and User JavaScript on HTTPS

5- In User JavaScript File, type the script folder path (ex. /sdcard/download/)

6- Click on save and restart the opera browser, when you open again it will load all script in the path you define

I have tested many script from here many works like a charm

Hi guys, i ve tried to root my L7 , ( downloaded lg drivers, ran phone in USB debubg/PC software mode)

unzipped and ran runme file , but it doesn't root !

I pressed restore on my phone when prompted...but no luck....the command shell on my pc shows waiting...and waiting...and waiting...

Attached a snapshot , any ideas?

petrescu, can you help a conational :) ?

Lg optimus l7, vodafone romania, version v10i-vdf-ro-dec-03-2012

UPDATE : Rooted AT LAST !

After few more hours of reading and downloading stuff ...i've finally did it.

First of all, because it was a locked on network version ( vdf v10 i ,december ) i had to flash it with the open v10 i .

Then, i noticed that the KDZ flashing too; had some bugs, so i had to run the software upgrade a couple of times ( nearly quited after my first try when the message was "error" ) to get the phone to accept the rom flashed with the open v10 i.

After i successfully flashed the rom, i used petrescu's root tool ( works like a charm, thanks prietene :)) and it finally worked.Checked the root access and i have it.

On boot i no longer see vodafone's romania logo, just the LG logo.

Good stuff

When I use GB rom, I always use "lockscreen widget" to lock screen. But i can't use it on ICS rom ( i've tried lots of ICS).

After i use that widget, the screen turn on automatically :(.

Any one can solve this or which widget you use to lock screen? :confused:

Thanks for your help!:victory:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] CTCaer:
You can in ics too. You just have to enable that widget app in device admins (like what it says in the help of that app.

Settings -> Security-> Device Admins

And just a correction use the term "screen lock widget" so we can understand easily what you mean. Lock screen is always refered to the screen where you use your thumb to unlock it and access the phone
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] yonzz:
Me too. when i tap the lock widget, the display turn off and then turn on again.. don't know how to solve this. But when i'm on with the downloaded MI Home launcher, i use the default miui lock widget, and it works...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] CTCaer:
Well that seems like a problem of the widget you are using. For example the switch pro widgets i'm using works like it should.

Both on GB and ICS

The Google search turns up a lot of old and incorrect info. Basically tmobile's wifi calling will allow your phone to work in conditions where there is good wifi signal available but otherwise poor/reduced/no voice signal.

It will count against your voice minutes.

Calls can be made and received in the usual way, it is transparent to you and to the calling party.

Appears to require a tmobile sim, no straight Talk, go smart, etc.

Hello friends,

Now that the amazing Gokhan has found a way to successfully have cm10.1 as second rom the main hurdle in daily usage for me was that all the data was on my internal sd root and cm looks for files in sdcard/0 folder hence I have found a small workaround which is working perfect for me and everything is awesome :

STEPS :

1) This is assuming that you have a sammy rom as 1st and cm10.1 as second rom already installed and while performing this step your SIII should be booted in samsung rom

NOW PLEASE DELETE ALL FOLDERS FROM 0 FOLDER AND MOVE ALL YOUR INTERNAL SD DATA TO THE 0 FOLDER please ensure that the data in 0 folder i backed up

2) Install directory bind from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410262 credits to the dev

3) go to directory bind preferences by hitting the menu button and tick alternate database management

4) go to the main screen of directorybind -> add new entery -> long press where it asks the source and select sdcard/0/Android and press select

similarly long press path area in target and select sdcard/Android and save and then highlight the floppy icon and it should turn green. In the same manner folders like games and whats app can be linked and by doing this you will have all the files in both the roms

I understand the above steps are little difficult and confusing but for now this is the best work around I have thanks

3. Move all data from sdcard/ to sdcard/0/ (excluding the sdcard/0/ folder, of course)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeySee:
Hello, I've bought a device which is really hard to repair & I'm running out of options!!! The X10 looks brand new but doesn't boot at all!

Until now I've tried Seus/PcCompanion & latest Flashtool.

What happens when I try to power up the device, it vibrates ones but the screen is just black( think because there isn't any firmware/ Rom on it).

When trying to flash a Generic Rom or any Rom at all it gets into flash mode but aboards the procedure.

I also thought that it might be Sim locked & I have to unlock it to get it repaired?! (tried Omnius tool but that didn't work).

When trying to repair with PcCompanion, while trying to install the update/firmware it cancels by telling me there's been a failure, try again or abort.

The same happens with SEUS!

I've tried both tools at least a dozen times without any success!

I never had problems with my other X10.

I'm starting to think it's hardware related & I'll have to take it to a pro.

If anyone has an idea, I t would really appreciate it, thanks!!!!!

i dunno if this can help . but when the vibrate wait like 6-10sec then flip to the right like you wanna look to the volumes buttons if you saw any whiteness in the dark of the screen then the phone cable is working . if it still black the cable might be got broken or something or maybe there is wire that got unplugged from its place

btw i think you better take it to pro

#Sorry for bad english :l
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeySee:
Thanks, I know what you mean with the whiteness but there isn't, it isn't booting at all & I have those two cables which both work, that can't be it. I think I'll let it get checked by a pro. Your English btw is really good, thanks for trying to help

I think either it's a loose cable inside the phone or maybe I have to flash a specific Firmware (maybe an older one, a down grade) but flashing has never worked.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EzzyLupe:
Really !! didn't know lol xD

btw i meant the cable inside the phone that can let the screen work without it the phone will be working and you only see a black screen while actually the phone is working . so try this

1.Power on phone

2.after phone vibrate . plugin the usb at the same time in pc open flashtool

3.Wait like 6-10 sec if something like this appeared '' Device connected with USB debugging off ''

this means the phone actually working. then this might the inside cable problem . if non of this happened dunno what else i can do for you . did you take to a pro yet ??
