Did you flash any recovery like CWM or TWRP using adb fastboot etc. via your PC? Or did you try to flash any stock or custom rom??
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jossek123:
No i didn't use CWM or TWRP. When i use command fastboot i can see my device but when i use ADB he can't find it. I will try the clockwork mod recovery, you will hear from me if that works.

<----some time later----->

Okey nice i downloaded a recovery and used the command fastboot flash to get the recovery to it.

now i have a english recovery mode on.

Does anyone has good firmware/software that i can install from my sd so my phone is working good again?

Thanks so much,

Greatings, Josse Kuhlmann

Well now it's up to you to decide which rom do you want, I'm pretty happy with mini cm10. But there is a lot to choose from, so it's up to you
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jossek123:
I installed windows 7 on my phone. But the only problem i stays rebooting.

I formatted /boot and /factorysettting and now it is directly going to fastboot menu.

I searched for a boot.img but i couldn't find it. Does anyone has a link to a bootimage so i can fastboot that and that my phone is booting correctly?

Thanks much for help!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shortyoko:
I really don't get what you have done, just try reflashing the rom if it goes to recovery, if not just install recovery again. Try to explayne it with a bit more details.

And just a tiny question, what did you installed?

I tried to put this in the bootloader thread but I do not have enough posts. I am rooted, stock using the Casual root method after flashing the alternate method in the original thread. I had to use the alternate method because I first rooted using the root66 image that left me with a still locked bootloader. I tried to unlock the bootloader but kept getting a FAIL in Odin at the sboot.bin and that locked my phone. The alternate method rebooted the phone because it does not have a sboot.bin.....

I now have a rooted phone that says the baseband is VRALJB, as well as the build that shows VRALJB. I downloaded all of the files in the bootloader thread and started from scratch. When I flashed the "baseline bootloader" along with the "pit" I got another FAIL in oden when it got to the sboot.bin... There is a message in the beginning of the download thread that says not to flash anything that has a sboot.bin with it... In the first steps of the instructions it says to download the baseline file, WHICH has a sboot.bin. I am really confused.... When I go thru the Casual I get the NOOB message at the end. I thought I had to have the VRALJB baseband, Which I have? Whats UP??????? I have read probably 100 pages of the unlock bootloader thread and have tried to uninstall everything and download again. Made sure my drivers are good, etc... I have a rooted phone that works fine, but I would like to unlock the BL so I can flash different roms later as well as install a recovery.... Thanks for any ideas here....GA

You probably used the unlock method for VRALJB when your phone came with (or was updated to) VRALL4. There are two unlock methods and the first won't work if your phone has an updated bootloader.

Even though my phone now shows VRALJB in the Baseband Version and the Build number it did in fact have the other number before I had to flash the alternate method to reboot. VRALL4 I think it was... I thought if the baseband was changed I had to use the method for that number.....GA

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryan9915:
Ok have been reading for a couple days now and while I know more I am probably more confused than when I started.

Goal: Wifi tethering / 4g hotspot without paying extra

Set up: OTA ICS update. I am still on a grandfathered unlimited plan so the normal hotspot isn't included. With my laptop I use easy tether through USB which works great. But can't be done on an Windows RT setup.

I thought I would just need to root and I could side load a wifi tether app but the new update it is hard to follow what is necessary.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ang1dust:
Im confused, is this a question? are you making a work up? Looks like your new to forums i wanna say you posted in the wrong area.

First if you want to root start with the 1 click root. I did it the other day and it works great.

second Santod has a great OTA ICS deoxed and oxed roms here

http://forums.infectedrom.com/forumdisplay.php/79-Thunderbolt-Android-Development

lastly from what i know wifi teathering works on all the roms and doesnt require extra charge....the type of data plan you have is on on you weather unlimited or limited it still works without a charge.

Edit: i even went to get the links for you

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1703455 is for the 1 click root (its more than 1 click since it requires a code but it tells you EXACTLY what to do)

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitetrain:
SO Just to be sure. i have a stock thunderbolt never rooted or anything. To be able to use free wifi i can just do the 1 click root. then try and flash the ota ics deoxed?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitetrain:
need help

Ok. I'm a noob with some pretty tiring questions. Basically i have had my bolt since it was released with unlimited. Never really had any problems before but since the ICS update it lags and text message never send/receive attachments like pics. I have never rooted before or done any other customizations to the phone. It is a stock bolt with ICS, never touched. Basically i want to be able to use my wifi hotspot and see if i can get my phone working a little smoother. Question 1. All i need to do root this phone is the Run the correct program but i've seen two different methods to this. ONe is to run the 1 click root listed n the above post. But i see on another thread it says to use the root method availabe at infectedrom. Do they both work? Then after i run the correct root program i should flash a new rom which SanTod has a great one at infectedrom too. My question here is what is the easiest method to flashing a rom? There seems to be several different directions on this too.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
The one click method might give you root but you won't be unlocked or s off. The current method for unlocking ICS is long and could be difficult so if you go that route set aside some time and get ready to post questions on the forum so folks can help.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitetrain:
Ok I see what your saying. But if i root can i remove the tetherguard so i can activate my wifi hotspot? Or do i need s-off to do that?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
I'm not real sure but you could flash a custom ROM with that already removed once you are unlocked and s off. I'm pretty sure that tether guard is integrated into the framework and requires more than just removing the app.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitetrain:
First off thanks for responding.

2nd, can u point me in the right direction on rooting this device and then applying a new Rom. I see different methods on different forums. I just want to make sure I'm doing the safest and easiest method. Should do the method from infectedrom?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Yea use the infectedrom guide. Some others day to use the wrong image name for some of the files and that will confuse you. Plus there are lots of users that will help you with anything you you are not sure of. Follow the steps in the guide in the exact order they are listed.

Well, I know this has been discussed before, but I didn't find a solution for it. I recently acquired a GSII Skyrocket from a friend. He said it suddenly stopped working- he's pretty wealthy so he just bought an iPhone and gave this thing to me. I'm a Droid Charge user so I'm not new to Samsung devices, but this kind of stumps me.

Anyway when I try to power it on all I get is a pulse vibrate. You can see what happens here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYFc7IMU0pg&feature=youtube_gdata_player

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChrisAshton84:
Hi, after a few attempts at searching for info about the external antenna on the nexus, I think I finally found something... has anyone tried this part:

http://www.telcoantennas.com.au/site/patch-lead-samsung-nexus-s

This is by the same company that makes a Galaxy SII patch lead. I've read all the threads about breaking the internal antenna by using an incorrect connector, but a couple of people mentioned towards the end that they tried this brand and it worked perfectly.

I'd like to try this because when I drive through WI I have very poor / no reception, even though I'm driving down the one corridor (I94/I90/I35) that T-Mobile is supposed to completely cover. Most of the time I can't even get enough signal to send a text. Since google maps can't do routing offline I really would like to boost my signal at least up to 2G all the way through the state, and if I got a good enough signal to stream music that would be even better. Also, it seems like I always hit a snow storm when I go through. I'd rather not be stranded w/o signal if something happened.

Hopefully this + a good (5db or greater) car antenna + a second phone back that I can drill a hole in would make the phone usable on road trips...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
I think it's a risk of breaking that port. And besides, what kind of antenna are you going to connect? Isn't roaming offered if you were to NEED cell service? Have you tried flashing other radios from josteink's radio dumps collection? Which radio are you on now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JPBeard21:
Don't take the risk, just get the Wilson cradle signal booster. And for maps, you can go into settings and download areas to offline cache.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChrisAshton84:
I'm on T-Mobile pre-paid. They claim they have service but it doesn't come through. I've tried a couple of radios but this has been the case with other phones for the past 5 years. They just don't have much / any service. (T-mobile prepaid shows IA as having 2G service but they don't actually let you connect, even though they own the company that owns the towers).

I already have the official car dock so I'd rather not dispose of that. I can't download maps to cover the whole route - 400 - 500 miles - but even if I'm in an area I have downloaded I thought it needed networking to actually do the routing...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JPBeard21:
I can understand not wanting another dock. I don't have one so its hard to know what kind of solutions would work. Wilson makes many different adapters, antennas and amplifiers, check them out.

With maps, I believe you can download more area depending on level of zoom and I also think navigation would work as long as you start in a coverage area, been a long time since I used it and lost coverage. Not sure about rerouting abilities without coverage or cached maps. I would try to at least cache the areas you know have little to no service. You may be better with an offline solution such as Tom Tom, Navigon, or one of the many other ones. Keep us posted, interested to see what you come up with.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tselling:
I thought with Honeycomb there is supposed to be an option to zoom or stretch the display for apps that are not meant for tablet displays. Some of my son's math games like "Math Space" need that. I loaded up Cypherom to get that option on our HTC Evo View but I don't get the option (HP Touchpad on ICS and Jellybean has it). Does the official Honeycomb rom have this? Or is it not working for the View for some reason? Thanks.

To help people make the decision between AOSP based ROMs like AOKP and Touchwiz based ROMs like Jedi, I thought it would be helpful to have a reference. Each list only includes features that aren't in the other types of ROMs. Please comment to help me add things I missed or fix things I got wrong. I've been researching a lot, but my Note 2 is shipping right now and I haven't had an opportunity to try ROMs out. Consequently, I may need to be corrected on some things. I'll update this post regularly.

AOSP:

4.2 Jelly Bean

- new clock

- different users

- lockscreen wigits

- users

- bug fixes

nabvar option (AOKP & CM)

Expand Desktop (AOKP & CM)

Physical Button alternate functions (AOKP & CM)

theme chooser

Touchwiz:

MultiView

S-Pen Features

SmartStay

Plus Quadrant scores are always much higher - not a big deal, but still...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SpartanAndroid:
While I love AOSP and how clean it looks, loosing so many S-pen features isn't worth it.

I use Nova to bring back as much of the AOSP experience as I can.

As for the 5-row keyboard, I'm pretty sure you can get that with Perfect Keyboard or even Swiftkey so it's really not a feature of the TW rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RonnieRuff:
You failed to mention a few things for AOSP

The ability to use theme chooser with 100s of themes and not have to flash them

Not having to flash many mods that are only available by flashing in TW

Your comment saying S Pen features are not available in AOSP ROMs is misleading. The SPen Samsung Apps are not available. Dozens of apps that work with the Pen are in the play store and many of the ROMs have Spen gestures built in.

I think you also may note that the comparison is AOSP vs TW. (The thread title) AOSP is ANDROID OPEN SOURCE PROJECT. AOKP and CM are both AOSP there are ROMs that make up the best of both of those .

Judging from popularity Jedi roms rule. By far - even among other TW roms. That leaves best AOSP rom, CM, in a distant 10% of the share. My 2c...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cobraboy85:
You could probably just flash them both and see which one you like more. For me, the only thing I miss in cm from touch wiz is the stock music player. It outshines most on the market in my opinion.

Other than that, touch wiz is whatever for me. If you can't live without the music player (I can live without it) and the s pen gestures, and don't mind an occasional big here and there, then try cm.

But all in all I'll just say this, useless thread imo. You wanna know what ROM is "the best" well find out for yourself because that is the only way to do so.

"Guys?"

He is posting in the tmobile note 2 forum, so im guessing he means:

In order for our "tmobile note 2" to have wifi calling, touchwiz framework is required.

Which is absolutely right! International base, and other non-tmobile base roms DO NOT support wifi calling
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RonnieRuff:
The international base note2 is Touch Wiz

I know what he is saying. TW is a Samsung product. If other TMO phones have WiFi calling that are not TW/Samsung then WiFi calling on TMO is due to TMO code not TW code. Does not matter much really but I do not think WiFi calling has anything to do with TW firmware if it did the International version could be modded to work and it cannot.
