[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sycobob:
As much as I support and agree with the message of this thread, nothing will ever change with anything less than a complete paradigm shift. Expecting the mods to really crack down on people not following the rules is too much work to ask from a handful of volunteers (though they could monitor created threads more vigilantly. A good solution would be giving dev thread creators power over their own threads, with the ability to delete posts, block specific users from posting, and request infractions. Some things that could help with this: users with infractions within 90 days can't post in development threads (or can only post in Q&A), infractions and bans can be used far more liberally than they currently are (arguing should be an instant infraction or temp ban).

As it stands now, the forums are effectively uncontrolled, with mods stepping in only occasionally to remove strings of pointless posts. I love what XDA stands for, and the freedom it allows it's members, but it could use some modicum of order and civility. Enforcing the rules will make it easier on both developers by keeping their threads clean (if they want), and users to actually keep track of relevant information in dev threads, and just have a greater density of worthwhile content.

That's just my two cents, but hey, I could be completely off-base because I'm rarely even on the forums anymore for exactly the reasons stated in the OP (which I read, promise).

THANK YOU!!!!!!

Let me add (and of course I didnt read to see if someone else posted it so forgive me) Do you KNOW how freakin hard it is to FIND a simple answer having to read other peoples stupid questions in the wrong places. as well as so called "experts" posting nonsense "solutions" that do not even apply to the topic.

I have been playing hell for months TRYING to follow protocol wading through people that cant follow the guidelines or read FAQ's Stickies or their owners manual for that matter.

If you cant go through a technical forum without at least reading the FAQ's & guidelines, you shouldn't be there.... for that matter have a smartphone..... Or a calculator.... or a digital watch, sharp objects, silly putty etc!

...Sorry, I know Not MY rant, just got me going.

Since i saw a leak by izap in the general forum, i found out that my root file for the GT-I9070 should work for this device as well.

Also, keeping in mind the nature of new xda users, i create this thread.!

It is a hassle free process. No kernel changing required.

It doesn't increase the binary counter.

Download here : Root

How to :

1. Download the zip and place it in the root of your sd card.

PS : SD Card is a must.

2. Reboot to the stock recovery.

3. Select install update from external storage.

4. Select the root.zip file.

5. Viola

Enjoy your rooted JB.

Note : This method has been derived from a method to root SGS2. Thanks to Phil3759 and his thread.

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Smokey Mc Pot:
Works great.

Thanks.

Only problem is,

:mad:Phone status reads "CUSTOM".

And refuses to check for updates.

Is there a way to fix this ???

Any sugestion, or solution ?

Much appreciated.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ichiyamato:
same here phone device status is "CUSTOM"
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] uchihakurtz:
You've probably installed/flashed a custom kernel that's why it refuses to update. I'm on Italian Job v0.6 but can still check updates as it's still using stock kernel, CMIIW though.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ichiyamato:
no...before i install the custom kernel its say "Custom".
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Smokey Mc Pot:
What part of the official firmware provided by samsung you call (custom) ???

There is nothing wrong with the jelly bean. In fact works perfectly and says official.

The problem is the (root) provided from this thread.

Once I instal the root the phone turns into (custom).

:confused: why you talkin bout patatos when we are talkin bout PHONES ???
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] uchihakurtz:
Oh, never actually checked my binary count, it's useless since we can reset it. But if you flash a stock firmware it should turn into Official again, try it.

Hmm.. probably rooting made it Custom, doesn't matter, just reset it. Who wants OTA update when you can just download and flash from Odin.

What potato? What part of though does thou not understand?

Though

Conjunction

Despite the fact that; although: "though they were whispering, Philip could hear them".

Adverb

However (indicating that a factor qualifies or imposes restrictions on what was said previously).

Synonyms

conjunction.	although - albeit - while - even though - even if - if

adverb.	nevertheless - however - notwithstanding - still - tho'

:eek:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ichiyamato:
for me nothings problem whether is Official or Custom in Device Status :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] asdfzz:
If you have custom, just reboot and you will have Official.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Smokey Mc Pot:
Errrr... yes...

If you don't have a second partition on the sd card.

I tried different approaches to the issue and found out that:

if I unmount the second partition and reboot the phone it turns official again.

But once I mount the second partition it converts into custom again...

It would be nice to find a way to make it official constantly.

But the good news is that even if custom works fine connected to kies.

Welcome

I created a self-rom in the kitchen and I have a little problem.

The script updater-script does not create me a symlink to symlink / bin / su?

Root the phone is working properly.

Applications such as Titanium Backup or Root Explorer work fine.

But whether everything definitely going work properly? Without this symlink?

My piece of the script responsible for the installation root

set_perm(0, 1000, 0755, "/system/xbin/busybox");
symlink("/system/xbin/busybox", "/system/bin/busybox");
run_program("/system/xbin/busybox", "--install", "-s", "/system/xbin");
set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/xbin/su");
symlink("/system/xbin/su", "/system/bin/su");

In this script I see other permissions for busybox

set_perm(0, 0, 04755, "/system/xbin/busybox");

Is this a cause of ?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadMonkey119:
Hello,

I just purchased my new Galaxy S2 4G from Virgin Mobile. First thing I did was install USB drivers, root it, flash a new PDA and Bootloader from Odin.

Now when I try to boot my phone I get stuck on

"SAMSUNG SII

Yellow Triangle"

I can boot into download and Clock Work Mod recovery and I think I can utilize a external micro SD to recover from. However I can't flash anything else from Odin as drivers seem to be messed up. I have uninstalled, reinstalled Samsung and Sprint drivers, tried different USB slots and everything.

Although it may be a driver problem as the drivers now fail to update when installing them, as it says "Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller - No Driver Found"

Anyway for me to force reinstall those drivers or something?

Could I get a stock recovery zip or whatever and put that on a micro SD then try?

Help please and thank you!!

EDIT:

Also, I have no recovery images saved to my SD card or anything like that.

EDIT2:

Kies is installed but none of it is running when I start Odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WardenBerret:
what method did you use to get root?

what is phone information?

we need this information inorder to help you.

If you can access CWM Recovery and you have an external SD card, i recommend moving a compatible Kernel/ROM from the computer to the external SD card. Then go to install Zip from sd card in CWM...and you should be good to go. Oh and remember to wipe data/cache and dalvik cache if necessary.

Consider fixing this bootloop before you try and fix the drivers. No phone, no recognition either way :)

Cheers.

I have an external SD card but I don't think my phone can read files off of it as I get the

My biggest question though is what is a compatible Kernel/ROM? I don't want to accidentally flash another incompatible one.

Also if I did manage to fix the drivers I could use odin to flash the first root that I used because it worked. That would get me out of the boot loop right?

Thanks mate!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WardenBerret:
I did not know that even SGS2 4G doesn't belong here, but gastonw is probably right. You should write this in Epic 4G touch forum.

well you could tell me if it's a Gt-i9100 or SGH-i777 etc. You can tell me version... 4.x.x (ICS) | 2.x.x (GB) | 4.1.x (JB)

since there are a large variety of ROMs and Kernels this info could short them down and probably tell us and hopefully yourself if what you flashed is compatible.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadMonkey119:
Alright, I could make anothe thread in the Epid4G forum.

Also, the model is a SPH-D710, version was 4.04. Also that root I linked was the first one I used that worked.

These problems began when I flashed the CWM (I think) as a bootloader from ODIn and then another PDA.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CGlobe:
Hi all,

In the past I have installed various ROMs on my Galaxy Nexus with no issues, although a few months ago I installed the stock ROM again and updated OTA to 4.2.x, which is now build JOP40D. I have also bought a new computer, so have needed to install all the drivers, etc. again.

After installing all the drivers (everything looks right in Device Manager!) I have installed the Samsung Galaxy Nexus ToolKit V10.1.0 and am now trying to create a NANDRIOD backup (options 2 then 4 from the main menu). I am in ADB mode (in Android) and don't have a custom ROM installed, so chose that option when asked.

It then takes a few moments whilst attempting to boot in to FastBoo - which it doesn't- before saying "error: more than one device and emulator"

The main menu shows;

ADB MODE

emulator-5554 offline

016B73750A00E018 device

Is there something I'm missing in order to remove this emulator and continue with the backup and installation of a different ROM?

Many thanks in advance!
