[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GPS_Music:
Preface: I have zero knowledge of android development and rooted my phone myself.

Some months ago I decided to root my S2 i777.

I followed the instructions on this page word for word: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-ics-on-att-galaxy-s2-sgh-i777/

I decided to do it after my stock was getting laggy and was randomly shutting down and throwing the battery calibration off. After reading the good feedback in that page's comment section. I gave it a go.

Everything went fine and my now-rooted S2 was no longer randomly shutting down!

I noticed though that the caera and video playback stopped aorking. As in, the screen would be black. I could still take pictures, but I would knot know what it looked like until it was taken. That didn't bother me much though since not having the phone shut down random;y several times throughout the day anymore was more than worth that unfortunate loss.

Today, though. It started randomly cutting to black and boothing constantly. My battery calibration was all over the place. It has restarted at least 10 times today.

I talked to my friend that originally conviced me to root and he said to do a factory reset. I backed up my contacts on my SIM and did so.

Now it won't boot past the screen that reads "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-1900" with the yellow warning triangle underneath (this is wha tthe boot screen changed to after rooting.).

I can not boot into recovery mode via keeping all three side buttons pressed.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Have you tried getting into download mode to flash back to stock?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GPS_Music:
I do not know how to do that :(

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
@GPS_Music,

If you still want a rooted phone, then rather than flashing straight stock, why don't you save yourself a step, and flash Stock plus root. The links in my signature give pretty clear directions.

Since you originally rooted with files from GalaxyS2Root, the problems you have experienced are very likely related to the quality of those files. If you avoid GalaxyS2Root in the future, and use files from these forums, you will have a much better experience.

Since you want JellyBean, after you flash stock plus root, you could follow my guide to install a custom kernel which contains ClockworkMod Recovery, and then flash one of the fine JellyBean firmwares available in the development section.

If you have any questions as you go along, feel free to ask them in this thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GPS_Music:
Thank you for your reply.

The main reason I opted to use that site was because of the ese of the steps, as well as the pictures. I wanted a method that was clear so I would minimize me messing up. I will look into your signature links now, but I should note that I don't recall stating I wanted JellyBean...my phone is 4.0.x last I recall, which is ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GPS_Music:
Hey creepyncrawly,

I was able to download the material from your signature yesterday, but unfortunately my battery wa too low to safely put into downlaod mode (according to the phone, which read something along the lines of "Battery low! Can not download!" in red).

I tried charging it before I went to bed but it would not go past the screen that shows the battery indicator with a loading circle int he middle (which was not rotating). It would then go black and the screen would "retsart" constantly to black screens (I did not notice this until I turned off my room lights, the screen was very black but I could tell it was turning on and off).

I am trying again now to charge it but I seem to be having the same issue. I will leave it plugged to my charger for an hour and then try to turn it on.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
It sounds to me like you're trying to put it in Recovery Mode. Download mode is something completely different. Here's what you can do:

- Take the battery out.

- Leave it out.

- Hold down Vol Up and Vol Down.

- While they are pressed, plug the phone into your computer.

This should place you in Download Mode. Then used Odin to flash the Stock Plus Root package.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GPS_Music:
Download mode is what I was intending for, and Vol Up and Vol Down is what I was pressing.

Are you saying to leave the battery out completely during the entire proces? That doesn't seem right.

As of now, I still can not get my battery to charge. I wonder if the ATT store cna loan me a replacement battery for a little bit.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
Yes, I'm saying leave the battery out for the whole process. The USB connection will supply the power.

Seriously, just give it a try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GPS_Music:
It worked! Thanks so much!

However, It reverted me back to jellybean 2.3.4 and feels sluggish compared to when I had ICS, should i manually update it or should I install come custom rom?

Should I eat Mexican or Italian for dinner tonight?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
I think you mean Gingerbread 2.3.4. Also, if you're rooted, never attempt an official update.

You can do what you want, but if you want my personal opinion, I would suggest a custom rom. If you think ICS was fast, wait until you try Jellybean. If you want a Touchwiz rom, probably go with ShoStock 3. If you want a more stock Nexus-ish flavor, give Task's AOKP a try. Just remember to follow each thread's installation instructions exactly, which means a full wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GPS_Music:
The main thing I am looking for is a smooth interface, minimal lag, and reliable. Which ROM fits that description? And may you link me to it's instructions?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GPS_Music:
NOTE: I just experienced a random restart. I was using the phone and the screen suddenly went black and bootted again. This is the same issus I was experiencing before I re-rooted.

Should I be concerned?\

EDIT: It happened agian, not even a minute after the previous one after it was all re-booted up.

I am seeing he following under About Phone:

Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I777

Android Version: 2.3.4

Baseband Version: I777UCKH7

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7

Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UCKH7
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
Either of the roms I mentioned will give you a smooth interface and be reliable. And no, you can get to the instructions yourself. I'll give you a hint; the ShoStock 3 instructions are in the ShoStock 3 thread, and the AOKP instructions are in the AOKP thread.

It's pretty clear you don't really know what you're doing, so I'll spoonfeed you a little more. You're not going to use Odin to flash the rom. You're going to use CWM Recovery. You can get CWM Recovery by flashing a kernel that includes it. Here's what you do:

1. Download rom of choice and save it to your SD card.

2. Install Mobile Odin Lite.

3. Download Siyah kernel.

4. Extract the zimage and save it to your SD card.

5. Use Mobile Odin to flash the zimage.

6. Boot into Recovery.

7. Wipe Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache.

8. While still in Recovery, install rom.

9. Reboot.

Most people will not (and should not) be as helpful as I just was. In the future, read read read. Read the stickies, search for threads that deal with issues you may be having, and read them. All the info you need is already out there, you just need to learn how to find it.

It'll go away once you flash a different rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GPS_Music:
Understood and much appreciated!

I suppose it's just me being over-over-over-careful and making absolutely sure I don't screw anything up (like last time). Though now I know this is the site to go to for any reference!

Thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] petervda87:
Yup same problem i'm facing just tooooo carefull and i also read a lot of treaths but still i think sometimes That its not going to work sometimes the same thing would not work, deu to the fact that a Noob like me and u forgot a small step or someting

And then u had lucky u could take out the batterij.

I have 3 xperia's and all 3 can't take the batterij out :( so i don't had much time to fix it.

But as long as u try and say really good what u did and what u used.

Btw does everything work properly Again

[HTC Inspire 4G] DvineLord:
I have a HTC Inspire 4G that was glitching. Before the phone was forced into qhsusb_dload I ruled the problem down to failing partitions/emmc. I was wondering if anyone would want to work on this phone together either in person or over the net to try to repair it. We could write up a nice tutorial afterwards about how to fix this type of problem. Any input from anyone about fixing qhsusb_dload caused by failed partitions would be very helpful.

I am buying this off contract so i went on chat to ask how much it would be off contract and was told MSRP is 549.00-350=199. I was thinking 600 to 700 but I am happy to pay 550 for this beauty. I cannot wait to get my grubby hands on it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rank78:
I probably need to buy off contract as well. I wonder if RadioShack will honor the $10 off w/$50 Google Play card on off contract? Otherwise hopefully Amazon has a good off contract price since zero tax+shipping.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] eric00716:
I was just wondering the same thing about radio shack but it even says with two year contract on the sign but maybe I could talk someone into it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] live cell phone case:
This problem should not exist, I also have used
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] exSD:
I still have until next Jan until I'm eligible for an upgrade again.

If I buy off contract -- do I have to pay out my existing contract?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rank78:
No, that's only if you want your device upgrade immediately. If you buy off contract now you will still have your upgrade next Jan.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] exSD:
Even if it's for the same line/number?

I would be replacing my Evo LTE with the One so if I buy off contract I get to keep my Jan upgrade contract on the same line?

Interesting.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rank78:
The way I understand it is as long as its the same line/number, yes. I don't know how ETF, early termination fees, come into the equation. ETF applies if you are cancelling your plan contract. Since you're just buying a new phone off contract but keeping your plan, which is what I'm doing, then you shouldn't be penalized or lose your Jan upgrade.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mang0:
Yes, that is correct. The only time you'd lose your "upgrade" is if you buy a subsidized phone and sign a 2-year contract. You can swap to phones that you own anytime, just so long as you continue paying for the plan that you're currently on contract for.

If you wanted to upgrade early (buy a phone at the subsidized cost and sign a 2-year contract), then you're have to pay out your existing contract to allow upgrade eligibility.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
well from XDA developer Peter Poelman's post i asume that it were the touch-screens which would crack and since a screenshild protects that it would solve the issue i suppose

if it's the whole unit which is cracking up i would sugest something like thishttp://www.proporta.com/detail.asp?id=624

it take up much less space then the plastic (leather looking) case you get when you buy a xda1/2

Alright here is my dilemma: I have a android head unit for my car An6b01 (Adayo, FORYOU, K1) it runs on froyo 2.2 it has a 6.1 inch screen, 1 sd micro slot & and 1 regular sd, 3 usb ports wi-fi and bluetooth 1ghz arm8 processor etc. I'm able to go on the market place web and all that good stuff my problem is that although the unit runs on android 2.2 it has its own native apps which seem to control some of the hardware on the unit. For example it has a bluetooth app thats designated for pairing with your phone which lets you play music off of it receive calls and go through your phone book, This app also enables if the bluetooth is on or not. Now if you go to android settings the bluetooth option is not there and i'm unable to pair with different device such a ODB2 module. I was wondering if there is a way that i could add the bluetooth option back into my setting in order for me to pair with other devices. I have tried some of the apps of the market place like "Bluetooth Enabler" and "Bluetooth Manager" but when i try turning on the bluetooth through there it just says "Turning on Bluetooth" and nothing happens. My unit is rooted and i'm familiar with editing the system files and flashing roms. Could any one give me some tips on how i can enable the Bluetooth setting in my android setting? I also have all the system files if anyone is willing to look at it. thanks:

How do you start to theme a ROM? I want to theme Padawan v5 with permission ofc. Can you do it with windows?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Yup, in fact you might prefer it because of the existence of a tiny little photo editing program perhaps you've heard of it, photo shop.

You'll need a hex editor program I suggest notepad++

You need java runtime environment installed and in your environmental variables path.

Then you can install the android sdk for adb.

Now, you'll need an apk compilation tool.

Once you're able to decompile and recompile an apk without any changes and there's no errors you're ready to begin the fun.

The main 2 files used in a system theme are

/sytem/app/systemui.apk

/system/framework/framework-res.apk

The images are located /res/drawable-xhdpi of each apk....for stock dpi anyhow

Other things will be hex values in xmls

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Adb is the android debugging bridge

Xml is a file extension type containing plain text entries and hex color codes, then compiled into the resource.arsc within an apk, you'll need to decompile the apk to edit with notepad++

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:
Sorry for me being so annoying but what is a .9 image? How can you tell?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
The image will have a .9 on the end of the name. They at harder to theme. You have to take care to not alter the black edges or you will break the image and the theme will not compile.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:
So the .9 pngs have a black edge that you can't go over or else it will break? I just use colorize>then I make it red
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
The black edges in A .9.png tell the os how to stretch the image properly in landscape mode.

If those single pixel wide lines are not exactly the same when you compile it will error and break the apk.

At first DON'T DO A HUGE BATCH OF .9.pngs, cause if you do like 50 images and you messed up 1 it's really hard to pin down which one it was.

Do a few, compile, do a few more, compile, and so on until you're done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
I would suggest leaving the .9 images for last.

Try some of the other images. Compile and install your theme. That way you can see what your doing and if you like it. The .9 images ... You will want to use the square selector tool in gimp to surround only the image ...never the black lines. Then edit the image.

I always do a few images and test ..you may think something looks good on pc ..then find it looks different on the phone.

Ooh, and if your married...be prepared for "the look" from her .. That will let you know when you've worked long enough.
