[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
That shouldn't matter. Since Ruu files are flashed in fast boot the rom you are running won't matter. You should post your question in his thread in the development forum and maybe even skim through it because I remember there were others having the same issue and there is a definite fix for it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adambomb7777:
I've looked at a bunch of the all in one threads on different websites and have not come across any of the same problems. I couldn't post in that section yet last time i tried. I'll try again.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adambomb7777:
nope, still can't.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Ok then try this. Download and fastboot flash the latest Ruu first. Then run the tool.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adambomb7777:
ok im downloading the ruu off the all in one thread. I just put it on the root of sd card and then fastboot flash? Can you describe the process of the fastboot flash so i don't mess it up?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
First check the MD5 and make sure it matches. Put the Ruu on the root of your sd card. Rename it to PG05IMG. Reboot into the bootloader. Press the volume rocker so it will scan your SD card. Select the fastboot option using the power button. Then select yes when it asks if you want to update.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adambomb7777:
Ok put on the latest RUU and tried to use the all in one tool to unroot. It gave me the same error.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Do you have adb setup on your pc and are you using adb devices before you try using the tool? Also, I dont know if you are already but make sure you put your phone into charge only mode and the display set to always on.

Oh and also try right clicking the allinonetool and running it as administrator.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adambomb7777:
No I do not have adb on my pc. yes it is in charge only and display always on. I don't know where exactly to right click at to bring up that option.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
You need to install adb. I don't think that tool is going to work without it. Just Google how to install adb. There are plenty of guides and it is easy to do. Whatever bat file you click normally to run the tool needs to be right clicked. At the bottom there should be an option to open as administrator or run as administrator.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adambomb7777:
When you install the tool does it have adb in it? I right clicked on where I run the tool from and it didn't give me an option for administrator. I just don't understand how it rooted the phone fine, but now won't unroot.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
I don't know. I think you need to install adb. I can't see how you would unroot without it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adambomb7777:
I ended up just using the nat3mil video and followed the instructions. All back to stock and unrooted. Thank you for taking the time to help me. Hopefully when I get the new phone I don't have any more problems with the all in one tool.

Update: It has been 1+ years since I wrote this and needs updating.

Since I moved to 100-min unlimited data plan a couple of months ago, I have tested 10+ different VoIP methods to avoid using cell minutes.

Below, I have compared these 10+ methods using 5 criteria: call quality over mobile data connection (3g), battery efficiency, reliability, ease of setup, and cost.

Please discuss and I'll update the following summary.

1. Groove IP (android app)

pros: simple setup.

cons: bad call quality over 3g. free version only works in Wifi and lacks OS integration. No longer supports GV officially.

2. talkatone app (android/ios)

pros: ok quality on 3g using standard quality.

cons: doesn't integrate well with OS. No longer supports GV officially.

3. Vonage mobile app (android/ios)

pros: free phone # calling to US. decent quality even on 3g. no battery drain as it uses GCM push notification.

cons: can't receive phone calls. (update: you can now receive regular phone calls with a tweak: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/general/free-gv-incoming-outgoing-calls-using-t2754991) No longer free from September, 2014

4. pbxes/sipdroid (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1791957)

pros: excellent battery life using TCP connection (http://code.google.com/p/sipdroid/wi...andbyTechnique), Good call quality over 3g using speex codec.

cons: Not the best call quality

5. simonics GV gateway https://simonics.com/gvgw/ + sip client of your choice

pros: simpler setup than pbxes, some ppl claim it's more reliable than pbxes.

cons: limited codec support (bad call quality over 3g). no multiple registrations (no simultaneous ringing in multiple devices). New activation limited.

6. pbxes/callcentric/sip client with iLBC codec http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2057887

pros: excellent call quality over 3g

cons: harder to set up, audio lag

7. installing own asterisk/PIAF server (http://enjoytechnology.info/)

pros: flexible. silk/G722/G729 codecs provide excellent voice quality

cons: requires a 24/7 running server, hardest to set up (you need some linux knowledge)

8. Skype (android/ios)

pros: excellent call quality

cons: battery drain, not free to make/receive regular phone calls.

9. VIBER (android/ios)

pros: cross platform

cons: only works between VIBER users. regular phone calls requires credits.

10. PIAF on Amazon server (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2117336)

pros: low latency, easiest method to set up asterisk server (in less than 20 minutes, you can make free calls.) Now you can also use Skype codec.

cons: AWS EC2 is only free for 1 year.

11. Spare phone

Pros: cheaper than grooveip

Cons: limited codec support

12. Callcentric + gv callback.

Pros: easy setup, doesn't affect answering gv calls from gmail

Cons: takes longer to call out, battery drain, high latency

Today, the PIAF team has created an image for AWS EC2. Here's the instruction. http://www.pbxinaflash.com/community/index.php?threads/piaf-purple-ami-for-amazon-ec2.15189/

If you follow these steps, you can setup an asterisk server on amazon server and make free calls in less than 15 minutes.

The only downside I can think of is AWS EC2 is free for 1 year.

Nice list.

I've been using #5 (Simonics GV GW) with CSipSimple for several months. Wifi only. Call quality is good, better than when I tried GrooveIP.

Eventually, I'd like to setup Incredible PBX on a Raspberry Pi: http://nerdvittles.com/?p=3026

PIAF on Amazon EC2 is an interesting option, maybe as a backup. I wonder what the typical costs are after the 1st free year.
[General Topics] graffixnyc:
Are there any free services that allow you to set the outgoing caller ID? I see the option in pbxes and also in the app CSipSimple but it doesn't seem to work. It always displays my GV number on the person's caller ID when I call
[General Topics] acegolfer:
That's GV's restriction. GV doesn't allow CID spoofing. It will always display GV number no matter what you do.

There are VOIP providers who allow CID spoofing. Search. But I don't use them because GV is my main number.

I have unlimited data but my company pays for my monthly bill as I telecommute and work from home. Using Google Voice in conjunction with Spare Phone it's much easier to maintain my Google Voice number as my cell number.

I prefer having the flexibility of Google Voice behind my calls as well. Spare Phone, Groove IP and others do that extremely well and I can call anyone on any phone without using my minutes.
[General Topics] kchannel9:
So If I use Line2 for VOIP, and I can't ever get Sprint service at home, is there any benefit to using Google Voice?

Would I be able to get my Sprint #'s txts and calls at home? Could I call out from just the GV #? Or a choice of GV, Sprint, or Line2? I've read a lot about it, but the info is scattered and not specific.

Edit: btw Line2 is pretty excellent, except for one thing, calling landlines! I'm not sure why.

Update: I've decided to switch fully to Sparephone and GV, to replace Line2. Sparephone is working really well so far :)

Sparephone and Google Voice power combo have been really really excellent for me so far, and it's free. Dropped Line2 ($10/month) and the Vonage app (free, no receiving), and Sparephone has better call quality than either of them. The dev is super cool too, responded to my emails and suggestions quickly and thoughtfully.

I'll update my opinion if it changes, but so far, it's pretty ideal cost/effort/quality ratio IMO.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zorachus:
I just picked up my brand new Note 2 in white from ATT this week, running on Straight Talk. Rooted it before I took the plastic stickers off it, easiest and fastest root ever for me, and I am not a smart techie guy.

Anyways, I wanted to first try out a stock Touchwiz ROM, and found a very popular ROM here, installed it, and then installed Nova launcher with Jellybean theme, and I also installed a few ismc mods to give the phoen a pretty close to stock AOSP Nexus look, while still keeping the good Touchwiz S-Pen apps and widgets.

My last few phones have been One X running CM10, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus-S, Nexus-One. As you see, I am a fan of the pure vanilla look and feel. But it seems to me, that Jellybean has really made non Nexus phones really good, and with a launcher like Nova, and themed like Jellybean, it is darn close to the real nexus deal to me.

My question.

What are the performance numbers or at least your personal feel and opinion if you have used both on the Note 2 ? How does a good AOSP ROM, like CM10.1 run on the Note 2, compared to a stock Touchwiz ROM like cleanROM or JediX. Does the feel feel faster & smoother on AOSP over Touchwiz ? Battery life I am sure better on Tocuhwiz ?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BlackPhantomX:
Running on JellyBeer, which uses CM10.1 as the base, it feels so much faster than stock. In fact, the battery life is also much much better.
