Hi;

Thanks all for your answers. So just to confirm this, if I extracted the rom from my phone before the update to jellybean, that rom is all I need to get it back to it's orignal state(gingerbread), right?

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
You're getting an OTA update right?

If you ever wanna go back to YOUR actual ROM as it is now you're gonna have to make a back up.

Anyways, once you go JB you won't feel like to go back to GB.

Hello all, I entered into recovery mode and got this warning today. http://i.imgur.com/CHya85E.jpg

For more info, I updated the other day to 4.1.2 and it removed my root access. Now, I was simply trying to remove the SuperSU app by going into recovery mode (don't know if it can be done there or not). Any help is extremely appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
bootloader is locked. search around for an answer or someone will post it for you. I'm not the best at describing how to do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] okburkard:
Okay, thanks. Whenever I reboot my phone, there is text that comes up and says "custom" with an unlocked lock symbol. Could you point me in the right direction with this? Am I not able to go into recovery mode without the bootloader being unlocked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] melucci:
I have the exact same issue. It came right after I upgraded Recovery to the latest Touch version. I am also on 4.1.2, but have been there a couple of weeks and have had no other problems. I don't believe I lost root with the upgrade.

If the boot loader has been relocked somehow, how can we fix it without being able to boot the phone? All attempts to boot including volume up/home/power, volume down/home/power, and home power just end up with the Verison message. It appears impossible to boot to recovery or even start the phone. I am lost.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] melucci:
See my thread called: “System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone.” I also could not reboot the phone to fix it.

As stated by GSMArena website there will be no Android 5.0 update for Galaxy S2 and obviously should apply to the variants too just like ours.

Agreed on that it's a miracle that we're even getting 4.2 and by we I mean the i9100. I'm available to upgrade in may finally and right now it's between the s4 and the one but I'm having a hard time choosing, if there really isn't going to be cyaogenmod for it (we'll see about that once it's out) then that's a huuuuge detractor, i just really hate the buttons on the one and prefer the features of touchwiz to sense (I do NOT want BlinkFeed).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] VanillaCracker:
I know there are some that are hopeful for possible some unofficial ports of 5.0 coming to the GSII, but it's time to let go. I know that not everyone has a budget to replace their phone every 2 years, but you have to keep in mind that things change. Our phone (the I9100 + variants) has been a solid rock from the start, but android is increasing at a very fast rate. And it is also becoming very mature, with that. GB was very slim compared to what JB has added to the system. Ram usage has gone up ~50% from what I've noticed. Our phone only has 1gig of ram, I highly doubt Keylime pie would run as effectively as GB or ICS has. I've noticed some instances in JB already where lack of ram has caused hindrances. Nothing big, but it's there.

My exams just got over, so i thought i would create an app. Used my previous knowledge of flash to create a small game using the adobe AIR platform. Here is the apk for the game i created. http://d-h.st/cEW You must have adobe AIR installed in order to be able to use the app..

Nice game :thumbup:, but the "ball" sometimes gets stucked in the corner and the enemy should be a little faster. Also the green lines around the screen seem to change if the ball hits them. And I would be glad about a pause function to safe the game.

Did U only use adobe to create this game?

Hello everyone,

I've got a question please, well i use my Note 2 at work everyday, i'm using wifi, bluetooth, HDMI all at the same time, so i often leave my phone plugged even when it's 100 % charged, for 2 up to 18 hours a day.

Of course, because of the way i use it, a LOT , the battery drains very fast, if i don't keep my phone plugged then when i have to go outside i just can"t use it, no more juice lol.

I've done a few research but came up with conflicting information. Is it safe to keep it plugged into the charger that long ? I think it's OK but i just wanted your opinions here..

thank you
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakure:
dont worry.....the most that can happen is your battery will die early than regular guys...but you can get a new battery then...remember, we can do that on a note2.............i think the best option for you would be a wireless charger...may be you can mod the backplate yourself or wait for sammy to release the kit..............cheapest option is to buy spare battery and change the battery when it gets dry.....you wouldnt burn two batteries in a day would you?..lol

i recommend a spare battery....too much plugging in and out can kill the usb port..i think..............thats why wireless charger would be awesome

on a seperate note, wifi and bluetooth dont consume much power....how are you using both HDMI and charging simultaneously ?....unless you are using the smart dock which will need power source to keep working

Hi i found out that temple run oz "always starts up facebook" during the game, even if you disable facebook in game settings.

On ICS i use the "greenify" tool to disable facebook when i dont use it.

Then when I start the game it starts facebook anyway, and the game starts to stutter and hick a lot.

Now i use a facebook alternative , called "ATRIUM", also free from market, and i run Temple run Oz smooth, even at lower cpu speeds like 800 Mhz.

Hello there, I've tried searching before starting this thread, but as of now, I'm panicked already, that I might have killed my GNex.

My GNex is unrooted, and is of the yakjuxw variant. I just received the OTA update to 4.2.1 today, but immediately regretted my decision - as it was noticeably laggier and buggier compared to my previous version - 4.1.1. I searched on how to downgrade it to 4.1.1 / 4.1.2, and I found several threads mentioning doing it manually (the SDK method), but being a total noob on these, I decided to go for the Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit.

I backed up my files, unlocked the bootloader, and rooted my phone using the toolkit (my phone could still enter the homescreen in this step), and proceeded to flash the IMGs with the factory image from Google, but after that, my phone gets stuck at the Nexus's flashing "x" screen, never entering the homescreen. And, I did not make a Nandroid backup prior to flashing it (sigh). Is there still hope for my GNex?

What I plan to do now is to install Odin, download this Stock-Unroot Jellybean thing, then restore it to stock following this thread, then maybe go for the SDK method this time. Are there any other methods for the situation I'm in? E.g. use Odin to flash it to 4.1.2 (the version I want) straight?

I also found this Galaxy Nexus Toolkit, should I use it instead?

Please help, I'm really confused and panicked :(. I'm downloading the required stuff currently, with a very slow internet speed, so I'll check this thread tomorrow morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rodmc123:
download the "wugfresh toolkit", and choose the option "soft bricked" , and flash another rom, the program is very easy to use. your phone is probably ok.

Stop trying to use a crutch like the toolkit. Take 5 minutes and follow the stickies on setting up ADB and fastboot so you can do if correctly yourself.

I've never used Clockwork Recovery. I'm curious why there would be a need for it if someone can use Mobile Odin to Root a brand new phone and install kernels and ROMs. It seems a lot simpler to just stick with one app to install roms and root. Maybe I'm missing something?

I actually used standard Odin to root my Note 2 using CF-Auto-Root-t0ltetmo-t0ltetmo-sght889.tar.md5. If I had known I could root my phone without downloading any images using Mobile Odin, I would have done it that way. Is there any difference between Mobile Odin's EverRoot rooting mod and CF-Auto-Root-t0ltetmo-t0ltetmo-sght889.tar.md5? The only thing I had to do was manually install SuperSU and BusyBox; which appeared not to be included.

Which custom rom would be the closest to the stock ROM; which includes a no-hassle reliable mobile hotspot app builtin?

It's unclear what tmobile actually does to stop "non-T-Mobile hotspots" from working. If it's simply checking incoming tcp port 80 connections for black-listed user-agent strings, does that mean that all other TCP/UDP ports are unrestricted on mobile hotspot clients? Nobody seems to be talking about anything else but using a web browser on the hotspot client. I'm basically looking for a completely unrestricted mobile wifi hotspot (no different than non-mobile hotspots).

Thanks so much to the kind people who takes the time to answer my questions.

Sincerely,
