If you have a custom recovery install a custom rom, Problem solved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hey123:
I dont have root or anything, I am still on stock. The link shows instructions for Heimdall which I can do on a Mac, so I was wondering if doing it would solve the root problem?? Make sense?? Or must I find a windows machine and root that way first BEFORE the custom recovery? (noob)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
If you have a custom recovery flash a custom ROM, problem solved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hey123:
Thanks for your reply! To clarify, what you are saying is that if I follow the instructions in the link, namely the flash custom recovery instructions, my stock phone, will be able to flash roms? I was under the impression that you must first root, then flash recovery, then flash rom... Sooo the instruction will essentially both root and flash a custom recovery on my phone?? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wilbarger:
Wiping flash has virtually no impact on the life of the electronics. The only thing that is happening is changing digital bits with voltage. There is no mechanical action taking place. You may be thinking of flash media that is used in cameras or phones that are plugged in. These will suffer from mechanical wear as the contacts will be worn over time (although unlikely during the normal life cycle of a phone). Fortunately, we are dealing with 1's and 0's for most of the components in our phones today. Very little analog.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
He's referring to the write limit which does exist the actual number remains unknown but we are assuming around 1mil writes which according to the math done earlier we figured out it would take quite a long while to hit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
A custom recovery it's all you need to flash roms. You don't need root to flash roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wilbarger:
You are correct. The write cycles have not been determined and not likely that anyone would keep an item long enough to find out. LOL I know that I will never cycle any digital switch enough to wear it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hey123:
Ok, that answers my question! I was under the impression you needed to root your phone first to flash roms!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Nope, just need a custom recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Uh, thanks? LOL Dude, don't feel bad, I've had plenty of :facepalm: moments myself. ;)

Actually anytime you hit electronics with current, you are in fact breaking down the components internally.

I was referring to the write limit and it is an unknown number but not only flashes limits how many times but any read/write to any chip. You can only go so far...

The last semiconductor facility I consulted to was doing 20nm technology and the gate switching current was down into microamps. The new technology is going to last for many millions of cycles. Speed and low power consumption are driving all of the newest technology. Even the old discreet circuitry lasted many thousands of cycles and some of the old power transistors required heat sinks to keep from burning up. Anyway, I will bow out of this so we don't give the wrong impression of just having a discussion. Gotta love the technology we have these days.

Create a file in /data called local.prop with the following line:

qemu.sf.lcd_density=200

Give it rw------- permissions, and flash away.

Pull the battery out, put it back in. Boot up the phone while plugged in, open up Android Tuner and take a screen shot of the battery status screen after about 20 minutes (when the values update).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onealvideo:
I had that happen once. Battery pull should fix. My phone was actually charging but what was reported to the OS was incorrect. How do I know? I left off charger for full day and it never died after charging all night. A reboot was necessary and while I was at it I cleared all my caches and fixed perms even though I think pulling the battery helped most.

Interesting. Works perfectly for me. I used this as a guide: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/24701-mo...lcd-density-change-without-editing-buildprop/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Thanks. I read that and it's really simple to follow and use.

Unfortunately, the problem is that I'm sometimes an idiot. I set my normal build.prop density to 210 and the one in /data to 200 which is what I like to run.

Problem is, both ROM Toolbox and Android Tuner reported the density as what build.prop had for settings, not what was actually applied. I didn't set them enough apart to visually see the one in /data was actually flipping working.

Once I used Android System Info to look at the running DPI, I saw it had been applied.

Thanks again, dude.

Ha, no worries. I also have a script for ROM Toolbox that will recreate the file if I forget to back it up. Not that it's terribly difficult to do, I just keep forgetting and having to go look for it again.

I'm sure someone has addressed this issue before, but it takes forever and sometimes doesn't even turn on screen when the power button is pressed, anyone have a suggestion? It's been getting worse and worse as the nightlies progress :(

I am on 3/19 nightly and cannot send or receive mms messages.. Any way to fix?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wilbarger:
You have to give more information than that. Kinda like saying my car will not start. Can it be fixed? Give the guys some information like: MMS was working until ... or it never worked since the latest flash. Something - Anything. As good as many of the developers and other experts are around here, not one of them can read minds. They all skipped school that day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Skyrocket2Paradise:
Ok I was on the latest embryo and then I saw that 3/19 fixed in call audio so I obviously clean flashed 3/19 and the recommended gapps package from goo everything works beautifully except for mms. I just used cm updater to update to 3/24 and I did however I can still not send or receive mms messages.. Is that enough info?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wilbarger:
Thanks, that is much better. What MMS software are you using? I also came here from Embryo - loved it, but could not tolerate the random reboots. I don't know what would fix your issue, but would recommend that you do a wipe and flash the latest nightly and gapps 20120301.

Did not mean to be a butt, but these guys on here can really help if they have enough info.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Skyrocket2Paradise:
I am trying both stock and the updated gosms which supports group mms that i enabled in settings. Ya thats the exact reason I left it, I was sick of the reboots. Ok i guess ill try a full wipe tonight.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wilbarger:
OK, just another thing you might need to do after you re-flash (or before). Unlike Embryo, you have to go into settings and change the APN. I always use ATT pta and have good luck with it. Sorry I forgot to mention that earlier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Skyrocket2Paradise:

re-flashed 3/24 (fresh download) (installed latest gapps at the same time) - success.

It's a bit odd, those seemed to come out of nowhere. Plus the fact that there were no builds for a few days leads me to guess there were some teething issues for the Skyrocket, as my N7 had dailies through the whole week. Looks good though, hopefully the major stuff is ironed out now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Wallcrawler77:
While it may be easy to give such a flippant response, it fails to help the people that use two-factor authentication on their Google accounts. I wiped my phone yesterday and started fresh with the 3/25 nightly, and wasn't able to add my Google account because the browser would crash after attempting to load the 2FA login page. I ended up having to completely disable 2FA on my account just so I could get my phone set up again.

Even with Chrome installed there are times when the default browser (or at least a system browser-related library) is still used, specifically when an application needs to authorize with Google (regardless of 2FA status.) This morning I still can't get Titanium Backup to sync with Google Drive because the page to authorize the app just crashes.

It's frustrating as hell and thus far I haven't been able to get around this issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrfeuss:
If you disable the stock browser or clear the default you can set Chrome as your default. Once you do that you should be able to use it for your two step authentication. I understand that these sorts of bugs are frustrating, but I genuinely believe he was trying to help. He's generally one of few words, but they're worth reading.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SoCalHTCFuze:
While I'm sure the intent was to help, this is the 10.1 nightlies development thread and not the Q&A or General thread. I think a focus on identifying/fixing this new problem is more important than a work around.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Locoman_:
I'm an Opera fan myself and use 2 step. Haven't used the stock browser in months...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Wallcrawler77:
I should've mentioned this as well, that's my fault -- disabling the stock browser doesn't seem to resolve this issue. As soon as I get a chance I'll hop on jira and file a bug if there isn't one out there already.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SoCalHTCFuze:
I wouldn't post a bug on Jira until I've had time to wipe the phone clean and install fresh to verify. Since its not just me experiencing this over the updater, I'm installing fresh now to verify.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Wallcrawler77:
Mine all started after a fresh wipe yesterday, I can definitely confirm it. It all started when adding my account to the phone upon first boot, and continues regardless of what secondary browser I have installed.

Just to make sure I wasn't losing my mind, I started over several times and md5'd everything I've got. Still doesn't work for me.
