Hi dreamphysix. Please make sure to

thouroughly

search next time.

As for your question, there's an answer here (<--link).

The SII and the AT&T SII Skyrocket/Rogers SII LTE are two totally different devices. The SII international has different hardware. The international SII LTE i9210 is more closely related to our phone but it's still a different device (notice the lack of "LTE" in "SII"). Our phone is SGH-i727/SGH-i727r. Do no confuse these phones as you will most probably end up bricking your phone because you didn't read up enough.

To sum it up, when searching for roms always look for model number, unfortunately model name is no enough. Always read all the stickies in this forum. Always use search thouroughly with different formulations/synonyms.

Good luck in your future adventures. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dreamphysix:
Thanks. I searched briefly, but didn't come across that. So Rogers is getting it in late February, so AT&T will probably get it around the same time?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
Probably, you could download the Rogers update from here if the AT&T release is too late it'll work just as good.

Since there's a 4.1.2 leak in the development forum that works pretty damn well already, I'd say they're working on it.

I noticed a Kies update with today's date tried to load on my computer this morning. (but failed because I'm at work behind a rather huge firewall)

The exact same thing happened just before the ICS release (and the other releases when I had the original SGS)... While correlation does not necessarily mean causality I choose to feel optimism.

I'll allow the Kies update and restore my phone to the most recent stock ROM when I get home, and we'll see what happens in the next few days.

I can't see the JB official update is near , I would guess around March or April (from the previous experience with Samsung and ICS) ..

We already have one very amazing jelly bean ROM embryo 6-3 and it run almost perfect just a little to heavy for my taste.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
It's actually 6.4 now. Embryo is basically modified leak while we also have an official JellyBean release from Rogers (yes this works on your AT&T/Telcel phone). You can root it, add rom customizer and pdroid 2.0 yourself if you want to.

Re: [ROM][GT-P31XX][JB][4.1.2] CyanogenMod 10 official nightly builds

Hi

I got a very extrange battery behaviour.

At some point in the day, the battery start to decrease very fast, the tablet is in standby and it is cold. When I switch on the tablet I discover that left 2% of battery. The first time I switch off the tablet, and later I switch it on and discover that I have 60% of battery.

The second day I got the same problem..... The battery goes up and down constantly between charges... Yes, i don't charge it however the battery increase the % and then goes down again. I can use the tablet with the issue but never know how much battery really left until it goes off.

I can't find this issue in the forum... I am the only one?

Hello XDA wizzards!

I have an issue with an HTC radar. (TMoUS not unlocked or HSPL equiped - box stock before CAB updates)

I have CAB updated my radar CAB by CAB (doing one upgrade at at time) to get me to 8858.136

Phone works, sort of, and I wold like some troubleshooting help. (will take calls, and recieve text messages)

The phone will not let me access certain screens, like the "about" screen to check installed firmware. It takes the selection like it is accepting it, then flashes back to the screen where the selection started. Same respoonse for a number of things, like messages.

I have a feeling it is language related, but I cannot get it to take any 8858.136 language CAB updates. (phone shows as having Deutsch, English, Espanol, Francis, and Italiano installed. )

Is there a CAB update that can fix this? Did I miss something silly? Can I get back to the original OE ROM and try again?

Any help would be appreciated.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay_Nz:
hi

i have been reading a lot about exynos chip problems etc and came to realize exynos abuse app which many recommend from chainfire is the easiest way to root and unroot phone. not only that it gapes the holes for nasty viruses to intrude the exynos chip. but one thing i am not sure what chain fire says in his discription about exynos app is---

Also note that if use the patch method without rooting, or keep patching the exploit at boot enabled when unrooting, you need an alternate method to re-root the device to disable this feature (like CF-Auto-Root) - you cannot use ExynosAbuse to do this since it patched the exploit. Unlike other patch authors, I do not believe in keeping an invisible rooted process running in the background while pretending you aren't rooted, to be able to unpatch this way

Also i saw pics of exynos app photos on 1 of the forums, in one of the photos it says under Unroot device option- keep the patch which disables the exploit at boot in place. note that this will prevent from using exynos abuse app again..

I do understand there is some sort of exploit which we are patching using this app apart from rooting the phone just to stop those nasty viruses. and if we unroot the phone the patch will stay in place at every boot on the exploit so if we have to root again we have to use other method like cf auto root etc..

can anyone kindly shed some light on what exploit is and what is the limitation and advantage of exynos abuse app.

thanks..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay_Nz:
Further explanation, clarification.. and a small question and open discussion.

Hi,

Since no one replied to my question i did more reading and youtube videos etc and gained a bit of knowledge from dr.ketan too and thought to share my knowledge and PLS DO CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG. And feel free to add more comments.

There is sudden death syndrome in s3, note 2. All exynos samsung processors on 4.1.1 are affected. The phone suddenly dies without any reason. Not only that there is serious security hole where any app can gain user information. These both fixes are supposedly fixed in 4.1.2.

But chainfire came out with a great apk app which you can install as a normal app on phone which roots, unroots phone in one click and not only that it plugs the hole which was letting malicious apps in. But exynoseabuse doesnt take care of SDS (sudden death syndrome) and it only works on 4.1.1 and doesnt work on firmwares LL7 after jan 2013

There is option of pluging the hole without rooting the phone but if you patch exploit (plug the hole) without rooting you cannot use this particular app to root your phone - you have to use other methods of rooting like cf auto root etc

On the other hand, If you decide to root your phone you can disable exploit (plug the hole) just by one click or you have the option of disabling the exploit every time you reboot the phone. so the app will patch the hole before any other normal android app runs.

Then if you decide to ever unroot the phone or send it away for warranty just click unroot device..

This is here where i am bit confused IF we unroot the phone the patch remains there.? is there a way to remove the patch as well while unrooting so that there are no traces of patching or rooting etc and can use this app patch again.?

Also if we dont flash cwm, we can flash custom firmwares using mobile odin right and if we are sending it for warranty just flash a stock firmware in odin and it will be all good.? NO triangle or flash counter reset etc..?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
There is option to disable exploit in application, selecting that you closing security hole. is that clear?

Now if you unroot your device with selecting that option, still patch will remain there

If you don't select(uncheck) that option and then you unroot, patch won't be there

if you flash any stock ROM, that will erase all the patches you applied manually with exynose app including root.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay_Nz:
O God Dr. Ketan you are full of knowledge and a kind man and you help all the time. Highly appreciated again.

Yes I do understand the concept fully now.

So if we uncheck both disable exploit options and unroot it removes patch as well unroots right. So that means we can root again using same app.?

On the other hand if we don't uncheck those disable exploit and unroot the patch stays there and we can't use exynosabuse app again to root. .. right. ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
exactly

b'coz you needs root to patch/unpatch

BTW i advised you to post queries in Q/A section not on development. :(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay_Nz:
It basically started as my partially acquired knowledge sharing and open discussion thread but it turned to question and answer thread due to small confusion I had. I will change it to q and a thread tomorrow.

So with this root option we can still Flash any custom roms easily using mobile or pc odin but we won't have feature rich root to use things like nandroid backuo and restore because we don't have cwm. And if we have to send for warranty just flash stock rom and its all official and we don't even have to run triangle away etc as flashing stock ROM will take care of everything. ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay_Nz:
Morning doc. i wanted to delete this thread as you pointed out it is in development section. just realized it cant be deleted as we need to contact mod to delete it secondly i checked and it is in ques and ans section anyway so its all good. i have used exynos abuse app and rooted, unrooted twice and i will share a bit about it today some time. will jot down things in a newbie clear way so that in future if some one needs help they can read post and be clear about it.

Thanks for being actively involved and helpful all the time.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
Seems you figured it out, but note that the Sds and enyxos security hole is two different things. Also, both of these are patched in any actively maintained kernel or rom on xda by now.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay_Nz:
Yes thanks to dr.ketan and others I understand the concept now. Have lefy this thread for further open discussion now. One thing I am still not clear about is cos I dont have cwm as I rooted with exynosabuse app so dows that mean I cant flash custom roms like omega rom etc using mobile odin. ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
You can use mobile Odin without cwm, no worries.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay_Nz:
Thanks for reply. if mobile odin, exynoseabuse is easiet method to flash custom rom and root/unroot, then why people go for CWM.? Where does the importance of CWM comes in play.? What does it do or give.?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
exynose abuse won't work on latest ROM.

CWM have option to Nandroid backup

some CWM having touch GUI as well option to backup/restore EFS,kernel,recovery and more

you can read this thraed OP for more detail function of it

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2028103

Mobile odin is just flasher, you can flash any file in .bin/img/tar/flashable zip as well while flashing it can inject superSU to keep root intact.

you can't compare both, as both having its own function as well limitation.

you are saying to flash zip file is just common feature available in both, though once can't replace others because of other features.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay_Nz:
Hmmm,

Exynos abuse works on my 4.1.1 though. clearly it wont work on 4.1.2 stock roms though.

So if i rooted my phone with exynos abuse which is on 4.1.1 and want to flash omega rom i cant do it with mobile odin.? if i can, then for some reason need to go back to stock for recovery i can easily and use triangle away if needed to..?

thanks

++++++++++++++++++++
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
1.yes

2.you can flash stock rom with odin (pc /mobile) and can use triangle away (needs root)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay_Nz:
So for me to use omega rom I must have cwm. Means I can't install omega or any other custom rom using mobile odin on my exynosabuse rooted app phone.?

Its just you said I can't use mobile odin and other user urkashgupta said I can install custom roms just use mobile odin without having cwm.

2 people 2 different opinions so it's confusing
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Where I said you can't use mobile odin to flash custom rom?

Just read above post, i can read YES in first reply

Of course you can

You asked

I replied with YES
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay_Nz:
hi ketan,

i think slight misunderstanding in my question. my question said :"and want to flash omega rom i cant do it with mobile odin?- to that you said yes.

so i thought you said yes i cant .. but its all good so you say i can use mobile odin to flash omega or other custom roms even though i dont have cwm.

its all good. i will try it and see how it goes.

thanks again.

Apologies.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay_Nz:
kindly dont apologize.. you are too good to be apologetic. small mistakes like this happen. you have helped me many times. its all good..

_____________________________
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Anyway just like to add one suggestion.

If you want to flash custom rom, I recommend to use cwm

See what is reason to not to use cwm, I can see is you won't reset counter isn't?

But I think most of custom rom itself have custom recovery/kernel and rom itself raise counter, B'coz once you flash custom rom your recovery will be replaced by recovery that included in rom. So ultimately no meaning to use mobile odin to keep recovery stock.

Another reason it's my personal experience, flashing zip with CWM is more solid and hardly I have seen case where it fails to do so.

I do recommend to use mobile odin to flash zip files only when you need to flash some mod, which just used to replace some applications or framework of stock rom. But still you want to stay on stock rom.

So in summary :

Mobile odin is best

to flash stock rom without pc,

To keep root while flashing stock rom

To flash mods

To flash individual component like only recovery, kernel, modem

CWM is best to flash

Custom roms

Nandroid backup

Aroma file manager or

Some inbuilt features of cwm
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay_Nz:
ok.. i get the concept now

but i remember u saying once if i use option 2 of rooting which is root+advanced cwm it will leave traces of root and it is hard to get warranty.? is that right or just unrooting and simply flashing stock firmware will clean up everything in phone and ready for warranty agan.?

_________)))))))_******************$$$$$$$$$$$$$
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Once you flash stock rom (with pc odin) +wipe

Device will be same like box packed and won't have any traces of root, provided your flash counter is not raised, B'coz flashing rom can't reset it but you have to use triangle away only, there is no other method till today available except triangle away.

So

If you want to use custom rom and you are really worried for warranty, I recommend to use play store version of triangle away (paid) and custom kernel

That will care to reset counter at every boot, and whenever you need to send warranty purpose, you just have to flash stock rom.

Why I recommend it bcoz in any condition if you are not able to boot your device normally, in that case you won't have any way to reset counter, as triangle will work only if your device is booting normally.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay_Nz:
ok i understand. so i will go ahead and root with Root with Advanced CWM - By Phil3759 now and follow step by step process in ur post 2. of course counter will remain 1 this way but using TA (paid version) will take care of it as it will reset on every boot.

one thing i didnt really get is when you say this-- what does this mean--

Why I recommend it bcoz in any condition if you are not able to boot your device normally, in that case you won't have any way to reset counter, as triangle will work only if your device is booting normally.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
I mean suppose you are not using paid version of ta and your counter is 1

And anyway your device gets brick (unable to boot/flash at all but only you can do is download mode) in this situation how you can reset counter?

Because triangle away only works if your device can boot normally.

One more thing just paid version only won't give option to reset counter at every boot, but also you need to have kernel supporting this function (so if custom rom you are using not having such kernel you have to flash it separately)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay_Nz:
chainfire in his traingle away thread says it is the same program whether you buy it from play store or download it from his thread, its exactly same. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494114).

so what you are trying to imply is after rooting plus cwm and flashing custom rom we have to enable "reset counter at every boot" in TA app, so that if device is not able to boot normally atleast if service station people can get in download mode they will fix in warranty as TA will reset counter when phone boots in download mode... so thats sorted., but now one main big question arises if TA functionality depends on type of kernel how can we know if our custom rom kernel supports it or not.? as u said redpill kernel supports it, but what if our kernel dont support it then how to flash and which kernel to flash seperately..??

there is so much to learn , just when i think i understand now, something new comes up

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
AFAIK this option only available (reset counter at every boot) in paid version

Though you can check it first by installing free version (I never used custom rom, so i never need to use it)

After flashing custom rom and having paid version of ta, when you use triangle away to reset counter and triangle away prompt you to download a file, it means kernel you are having is not supporting that function. There are only few custom kernel is available you can ask in those thread whether having this option or not and once you get which kernel support it, simply download and flash kernel zip from cwm or if in tar file flash using odin.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay_Nz:
i searched for ta in play store and it only comes up as one. doesnt show up in results as 2 different ones- there is no free and pro paid version for that and also cos i have it on my phone it shows as installed already. it doesnt say these words - AFAIK but in the end it says -auto reset at boot advanced users-automatically reset ... so i think it will be sweet.

sorry = but if our custom rom kernel doesnt support TA app to reset at boot then will it download supporting kernel automatically or do we have to ask for kernel in thread of the custom rom and then flash kernel seperately.?

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay_Nz:
so basically you are suggesting to ask on rom thread that if that rom kernel will support TA or not. if yes then install that rom...

also say if device dont brick or reboot and if there is other common manufacturing fault in phone and we need to send it away all we do is just flash stock rom + wipe and all be good...?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Free version only available on XDA, not on play store

you have to find which kernel does support this function and have to do it manually

yes if it does boot normally/You are able to flash in download mode then you have to flash stock ROM + wipe

if it doesn't boot and unable to flash ROM, then they also unable to find you are having custom ROM and root. in that case they just look for binary count in download mode, if it is set to 0 then its all fine.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay_Nz:
ok i will buy from play store then, if they are different. but i dont get it- doesnt matter if the phone boot up normally or not regardless it will go into download mode anyway. and when it goes there we can flash stock right.. then why do you say if it doesent boot up and unable to flash- in that case they just look at binary counter -- now for them to look at binary counter they will have to go to download mode anyway. but my question is if they can go to download mode so can i . and if i can then i can always flash stock rom.. not really clear about the concept of phone boots normally and phone doesnt boot and unable to flash rom..

even if they can go in download more to check binary count TA will reset counter to zero anyway so it shud be good

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Not necessary if you can go to download mode then it means you can flash.

If your device have SDS(sudden death syndrome) still you will able to go to download mode, but you won't be able to flash anything.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay_Nz:
All right.. most of the things are crystal clear now just like how you open up your patients blocked nose being an ENT doc.. lol..

great great help again from the master. so i flash using root + cwm using Phil3759 methods as mentioned in your post 2 right..?

its quite late now. i should go to bed

will sort all this tomorrow.

thanks again..

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay_Nz:
hi dr.ketan,

quick question again- if we root + cwm using phill method (method 2 in your post) and flash custom rom which dont support kernel for traiangle away app- so does that mean counter will remain 1 because our rom kernel doesnt support it or is there a fix to reset it later if our kernel doesnt support it.?

thanks

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
you can flash kernel separately which does support it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay_Nz:
Yes thats fine but my question is what if we can't get supportive Kernal for our flashed custom rom, in that case can we just Flash stock rom plus wipe and all status will be official or no. ?

Thanks

QUOTE=dr.ketan;38052279]you can flash kernel separately which does support it.[/QUOTE]
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
flashing ROM won't reset counter, once you have used custom ROM that means you will have counter 1 at least.

so after flashing stock ROM you have to use triangle away to reset counter.
