I have access to root..

Have i Bricked this phone?? :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
If you can get to the samsung boot logo, then no. Can you access recovery? Or just download mode? If you can access recovery, then factory reset>clear cache>clear dalvik cache and flash one of the firmwares you'd have on your sd card, assuming that you used CWM to flash a zip in the first place (you said that you had cMIUI and rootbox working, go back to one of those.) If you can't get into recovery, then try download mode. You need to keep trying to flash with Odin if you can only access download mode. There's a set of troubleshooting steps to follow if you get another bad Odin flash. Search through my posts for them, I posted them a week back or so.

now trying to install a stock rom

I Can access recovery.. i did all the formatting of caches, i'm trying to install a stock rom now.. what i'm doing is correct or wrong please suggest..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
If you're attempting to flash a stock ROM through CWM recovery, stop now. That'll never work. The only way to flash a stock ROM is to use Odin, Mobile Odin (which in your case won't work, requires phone to boot) or Heimdall (I've never used this personally). So if you're using recovery, DON'T flash stock. You have two options to flash a ROM at present:

1) Stock ROM using Odin

2) Custom ROM using CWM recovery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] algorithm101:
Done and working :) Thanks a Lot

I flashed into stock rom XXLSJ variant. phone is working fine :) but lost access to root. in order to regain recovery menu i rooted my phone.

1. Now i want to backup my ROM using titanium backup. But its stuck at Gaining Root Access Screen What do i do now?

2. Stweaks,Super User and CWM have disappeared how do i get it back??

3. Strange thing Whatsapp is not working Unable to connect using my datapack :(

4. Can i Software update irrespective of the JB Stock ROMs region I am from.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
Good job getting it working again :) now, time for you to do some reading. Read about what flashing a custom kernel will do for you. Then pick one that's compatible with your firmware and flash it.

[Galaxy Note II General] yoonssoo:
Hi guys,

I just got done modding my Note 2 to do wireless charging and I'm extremely happy about it!

It is super easy and simple. Unscrew the back, solder copper tapes on the terminals that already exist.

It would have taken me 5 minutes if I had a good soldering iron... Mine sucked really bad (the tip wouldn't heat up right) so it took more like 10 minutes.

Here is a Youtube link to a nice tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDSyjl_2CXo

Here is a cheap wireless tag + charger for Note 2 from China for $50. Took 2 weeks to get here. (Cheapest I could find for both coil and charger) It works great. Charging distance is 5mm and output is 1000mA. Not fast but good enough.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/170995097433?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

When you get the wireless tag you just need to heat up the terminals and take them off. You can leave the terminals on, but it's pretty thick, adds about 1-2mm of thickness so you'll need to buy a bigger cover to use it without taking them off. Tutorial here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5bnenaI86I&feature=youtu.be

The wireless tag adds very slight bulk, maybe a slight curve where it bulges out the most, but the regular backing will close and it's barely noticeable. Especially since I use my Note II in a case I won't ever see it. It may bug some people that don't use any case or cover.

Here is my Note II charging.

I found that wireless charging on a flat surface was actually too big of a hassle... I had to position it right and trying to operate the phone while charging was difficult because it would slide off.

This was what I had in mind when I did the mod, to have it in a stand. I had a Belkin Flipblade stand, so I put the charging plate there and now all I need to do is slip the phone in it. (I had to attach some stuff in front to keep the Note from sliding off the stand as you can see)

I did this mod because I wanted to be able to sit in front of my desk, slip the phone on a stand which will automatically start charging, and listen to music through my Logitech speakers wirelessly. (Bluetooth audio receiver is on its way as I write...)

Charging plate

View attachment 1788033

This notification pops up every time I put the Note on the charger. I'd like to get rid of this notification but I don't know how... No big deal, though.

Also another thing is, keeping the screen on while charging option doesn't work with wireless charging and this really bugs.. I guess I'll have to do some search to do this.

Anyway just wanted to show off.. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] emprize:
looks great, i have the same charging pad, let me try diy a dock station with that like u!

Also I downloaded Tasker to keep screen on while charging. Works like a charm!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ysunshine:
Hi guys I got a Galaxy SII i777 from at&t and still got like 7 months left in contract.

Here's the deal. I'm tired of their crap, and I'm about to cancel the contract, pay the penalty, and go with another company.

Already checked with MetroPCS, they wouldn't take my phone. They want me to get their phone.

And then I went to Boost Mobile, the guy said he can't do with Boost but he's able to hook it up with Net10 which is $50 a month unlimited talk & text with 1.5gb data plan. Which is not too bad at all.

Then I thought about Straight Talk. I know they got a $45 plan which is unlimited everything (actually I really don't need unlimited because I know how much I use it) anyways the question is if I cancel the contract, will I be able to switch to Straight Talk? I haven't done anything to the phone. No root no unlock. And I have no idea about it. I will certainly appreciate any help. Thanks guys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] b1nb1n2012:
Yes you can. No need to unlock your phone as long as you have At&t SIM when you sign up for Straight Talk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ysunshine:
I appreciate your quick reply. So hopefully tomorrow I'm going to cancel the contract and keep the SIM card as you mentioned, and I think that the Straight Talk got a better deal. But shouldn't I have to put their SIM cards in?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sledutah:
Buy a SIM card online at ST.com , when you receive it activate the SIM card online or call them. You can have a new phone number or have your current one transferred. You will have to create a new APN, the info you need comes with the SIM card. I've set up my wife and daughter on ST with no problems. I paid the fee to get out of the contract early and still saving money after a few months.

Make sure you order the SIM to us with AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ysunshine:
I'm sorry for being noob at this but I really didn't get it. I go to Straight Talk website and order a new SIM card. And then call em up and activate it. But you say 'make sure you order the SIM to us with AT&T'. I didn't get that part. Thanks for your reply.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Eternalty:
Straight Talk has access to ATT or T-Mobile towers. He's just saying make sure you get the right sim card to access the correct network

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ysunshine:
Now I got it. When I went on Straight Talk website, they gave me three options which was t-mobile and at&t, other cmda's, and some other one. So I'm gonna go ahead an get the first one. I really do appreciate your help guys, thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] p3tr0s:
Last time I checked you couldn't get any at&t Sims online from straight talk or Walmart.com. make sure you get the Sim and are able to activate service before you pay the etf to get out of your contact.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fiffan86:
You are correct, he can only get a t-mobile SIM card from the straight talk and net10 websites. Try looking on eBay for any att SIM cards to use with net 10 or straight talk. On eBay the SIM cards range from 14 to 90+ bucks. If you plan to port or transfer your number, don't cancel your plan or you won't be able to port your number over. There is a pretty big thread already about straight talk.

Straight talk on i777? Time to switch?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ysunshine:
Damn.. I decided to pay another month and then cancel it.. Between now and then, I wanna figure out this SIM card thing. I went on Ebay, they are insane. $90 for a SIM card? Get out of here..

Anyways, I was looking at StraightTalk.com, they have this T-Mobile SIM card and right down below, it says this if anybody noticed:

Straight talk SIM Card will only work with an AT&T or T-mobile compatible or unlocked GSM phone. To activate your service, you will need a Straight Talk Unlimited 30-day Service Plan Card for activation. Some data services may not be available with all wireless devices. Blackberrys and branded TracFone, SafeLink, NET10 or Straight Talk phones will not work with this program. In order for your phone‘s data services to work, you must update your APN data settings, also called the Access Point Name. SIM Card and Service Plan are not refundable.

So I was wondering maybe I can get T-Mobile SIM card and hook it up with mine? Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fiffan86:
You can get a t-mobile SIM but you won't get 3g, only edge network since their 3g operates on a different band than att
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ysunshine:
So the best choice would be net10 I guess right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fiffan86:
Net10, as well as straight talk, only sell t-mobile Sim cards at this moment, to get an att compatible SIM card for net10 or for straight talk, you'll need to go to eBay to buy them
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] p3tr0s:
I'm kinda mad I didn't get it now... This past weekend I was at target and they had byop sim packet for net10 on clearance for 5 bucks. I looked it up and it has all three sims for both carriers in it. The only reason I passed on it was because I figure I'd get throttled just the same as I am on straight talk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fiffan86:
How much data do you use On ST? Net 10 Is owned by the same company as straight talk. I have ST and use less than 2 gb a month and I rarely get throttled. I usually use between 15 mb a day On weekends, and between 75 Mb a day On weekdays.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yobosimn:
ebay has the att net10 sim cards for $1. You'll end up paying $5 more a month using it through net10, but its not a bad deal. at least net10 clearly states that you get 1.5 gigs a month before being shut off. If you do go the net10 route, make sure it says somewhere on the page that its an att net10 talk sim card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fiffan86:
It's amazing that straight talk Sims are going for an outrageous amount compared to net 10 Sims. I wonder when straight talk will go down the 1.5 GB track as well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ysunshine:
Just switched to Net10. $50 a month unlimited talk & tex, 1.5gb data. MUCH better than a contract. Will see how it goes...

Thanks to those who helped me through this.

Anybody familiar with Net10's auto-refill $45 plan?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Teknodad1974:
Net 10 Service

Are you getting at least 3g speeds with the Net 10 service or only edge?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NePanicPas:
To anyone following this thread, Net10 data is UNLIMITED. You get throttled, not cut off, after you reach the max.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliguu:
Hi there, just though i post this to clear some of the current query i have about rooting XZ.

Please let me know if these are correct:

Up till today, the latest rooting on XZ still implicate the following concerns:

1. DRM keys WILL be lost forever

e.g. no more Music ID/Gracenote within the Walkman app plus probably most importantly, as asked all the time and all over the place in the T/mint forums: loss of Bravia Engine.

2. older Xperia devices sometimes got issues after unlock of bootloader (BRICK after FOTA update)

My questions regarding the 2 points:

1. will there be a method coming later (from the old xperia rooting trend), that will retain the DRM key/Bravia Engine?

2. What were the chances of bricking the older Xperia handsets in the past????

was this mainly caused usually by the earlier version of rooting method?

:confused:

i just thought unlocking the bootloader is a must for full root at this stage..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vosszaa:
You can't root without unlocking the bootloader. Unlocking bootloader will result in losing DRM Keys. Simple

So, if I understand you correctly, you don't need to specify the baud rate when creating a new GPRS settings because it's not taken into account anyway. Is that so?

I have been trying to stick it out with CM10 on my d2tmo GS3 but it seems like they are dealing with a lot of problems right now.

I would like some recommendations for a stable 4.2.1 or higher ROM that has good BT audio quality (preferably 4.2.2 but stable and BT quality are more important). My other preferences are that I would greatly prefer to use Google Now over the Samsung S-voice (or whatever it is called) and generally prefer for those OS to have a more vanilla Android style (closer to what Google intended and not what Samsung did).

Thinking about maybe liquidsmooth 4.2.2 but I understand that is CM based, so it might not solve any of my problems. Might try it anyway.
