[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
It wouldn't work. Nothing will install in Android System Recovery <3e>. Everything I tried still came back with Signature Verification Failed.

I also tried lifting the "tongue" inside the usb port on the phone several times previously and that didn't work either. I must assume at this point the usb daughterboard or something inside is messed up.

Since stock recovery can't install any type of files and I can't connect the phone to a PC in any way and my phone is 100% stock without root or any custom recovery, I can only imagine I'm stuck in this situation. I have yet to see any solutions for getting root or installing CWM without having a USB connection that works. Unless I can do either of those things, it looks like I'm SOL for updating from ICS to JB.

If they had only made Jelly Bean an Over the Air update, none of this would be a problem really.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
Too dangerous the ota bricks tons of people when they do it I can only assume at&t is tired of it and opts for kies only. Also you could buy a daughter board and replace it. It's a relatively easy fix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
So .... lesson learned here is that you CANNOT root a phone or install any custom recoveries such as CWM or TWRP without having a working USB connection. As a result, you CANNOT install any updates, stock firmwares and especially custom roms without the above.

Only option at this point is to order the replacement part for the USB port on the phone or to purchase a new phone (if it's outside of the warranty period).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
No you need USB to root that's it technically. If you have root you can install a recovery IMG without a computer using a terminal emulator and dd commands.

Thanks for the update. Hopefully it will help others:thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
yes and no, its the chicken and the egg kind of question, for the sr to get root u need to flash the su files, but u need to have a custom recovery to flash the su files. is there a way to get the su files onto the sr w/out a custom recovery? I haven't seen one yet unless there was a oneclick method which I never used
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
I used a one click waaaaaaaaay back when the phone was released probably wasn't supported lol but this was long ago on 2.3.5.

You can try contacting Samsung and see if they give you a link to a signed update.zip. Its a long shot but might work.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
I had the same question
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
There is an option called "Apply update from SD Card" but everything I have tried including the stock 4.1.2 zip file from Sammobile for the Skyrocket i727 has come back with the error "Signature Verification Failed".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
I remember that now. You'd need the zip from Sammy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
I called and used online chat to contact Samsung directly but they insist the update is only available through Kies software via a USB connection.

At this point I might as well just stop trying to revive my S2 with Jelly Bean and get a new 2 year agreement for the S4 at $200 and then sell this troublesome device to make up some of the money.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The_MamaBee:
I have Googled this to death. Some sources say it can be done, some say not without root, some say not at all. I don't know what to think. I've tried so many things. I'm not a total noob, but I am certainly not as educated as you guys are about Android. I'm just learning. Please go easy on me. :o Also, I put this here because it seems, from my research, to be an issue with S2 and S3 phones, not Tasker itself. Please let me know, however, if you feel I should move it, Mods.

What I want to do is to disable the PIN lock on my phone when I'm at home on our wifi and in the car. No reason to unlock my phone every time I want to use it at home and I can't get voice commands to work consistently when it's locked in the van. With a teen driver watching my every move, I don't want to touch the phone. ;)

Here are the details:

*I'm stock, unrooted

*I'd rather not root, because (unlike my Vibrant!) this phone works fine the way it is. That being said, I'd do it if it finally. Makes. This. Work!

*I've tried this with NFC tags and NFC Task Launcher

*I'm using Tasker

*I've tried it with and without Secure Settings

For the van, I always have it plugged in, so I think I can accomplish this by just setting the screen to not time out.

Home is the real issue. Sometimes I can get it to work, but it never *stays* working. I've tried turning my PIN Lock and all lockscreens off via my device settings and setting a task that triggers when I leave "HomeWifiName" to 1. Secure settings, configuration, set PIN 2. Secure Settings, configuration, keyguard enabled. It doesn't work at all. I've tried so many other variations of this I can't list them.

I wonder if I'm getting confused between the PIN and the keyguard. Is there a difference between the lockscreen and keyguard?

I'd really appreciate any advice you guys have for me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
If using the pin lockscreen, that is key guard in Tasker.

So key guard off = no lock screen at all. You don't need Secure Settings for this anymore. But you may need root.

Now, regarding your wifi near context, that doesn't work for me either. It's unreliable at best. Instead, use if connected to X wifi network as your context.

Let me know if you need any more help.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The_MamaBee:
Thank you very much for this. I'd rather use connected not just near, so if I leave the house I'm protected.

If I do that, set it to keyguard off in Tasker while connected to our wifi, it works once or twice, but not consistently. I have the exit task to enable keyguard when I disconnect.

Am I missing something? Honestly the challenge of figuring this out has now become more important to me than actually getting it to work. :p
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I had a profile that did this for a while, but I felt like it was a security risk. I just don't feel comfortable with that level of automation. But to each his/her own. When I typed the first post I was on my phone. On PC now so I can elaborate a bit.

New Profile > State > Net > Wifi Connected. I entered all 3 details; SSID, MAC, and IP. You can get it all right from the little scan applet that is already on your screen.

It's entry task will be Keyguard > Off

It's exit task will be Keyguard > On

So when you are connected to your home wifi, keyguard will be off. And when it disconnects, keyguard is turned back on. If this doesn't always work in this configuration, then it should be considered unreliable and not used. If this is the case, it's an issue with the app, not with your Tasker-fu. But with Tasker 4.0, you no longer need Secure Settings for a lot of things. Keyguard being one, GPS control being another big one.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The_MamaBee:
I really appreciate the information, the concern, and your patience. I do think this is something I'm going to have to admit defeat on. I've tried everything I can think of and the lockscreen will not stay off. It's not really a big deal to hit a few numbers when I want to get into my phone or tablet. It also keeps small, curious people out. :laugh:

I've solved the issue for in the van. I just use an NFC tag on phone cradle in the van. Since my phone is always plugged in while I'm in the van, I just set the screen timeout for 30 minutes. Problem solved.

Good to know my Tasker-fu isn't in question. ;) I have to admit that made me laugh.

Hello,

I apologise, this may be a long post, but I do need to explain exactly where I am at otherwise I will get recycled answers that I have already googled and tried and failed.

I recently bought a 'bricked' nexus s from eBay to play with and see what I could do.

It was previously stuck on the Google logo at boot. This is what I did...

1) I was able to boot into the bootloader (volume up + power etc) and unlock the bootloader.

2) I flashed the official bootloader, radio and Jelly bean zip file (from Google) to the phone. It failed at flashing system.img

3) I flashed ICS again failed flashing system.img

4) I flashed Gingerbread, SUCCESS...the phone booted!

5) The phone booted to the lock pattern screen of the previous owner.

6) I contacted the previous owner, and asked for the pattern. He gave me a pattern...it was wrong.

7) Booted into android stock recovery and attempted to factory reset. Booted to lock pattern screen.

8) Flashed clockworkmod recovery and attempted to factory reset. Booted to lock screen.

9) Flashed twrp and attempted to factory reset. Booted to lock screen.

10) In custom recovery, mounted "SD card" to computer, manually deleted former owners stuff, which reappears after un mounting.

11) Copied across various custom roms, all fail to install.

12) Turn to xda...

I just want to clear out the phone and start again.

The model is i9020t. I'm doing everything through fastboot and adb doesn't work because I cant get into the phone to enable debugging.

If anyone has any original ideas, please help.

Thanks guys, I tried it but no such luck.

From what I gather the toolkit is basically automating the fastboot and adb commands, as the same problems ensued. Adb couldn't find the phone because there is no way to enable usb debugging, and fastboot did what it did, but userdata is left untouched.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Setting.Out:
Use the toolkit.. Boot to bootloader (NOT RECOVERY).. Tell the toolkit what version of android you are on and that you are bricked and want to flash to stock.. Change usb ports if it doesn't immediately recognize that you are connected.. It will not need to be debugged to revert to stock..

follow prompts and you are done!

Remember that you will not be rooted and won't have a custom recovery any more and will need to reflash these.. Some roms are pre-rooted..

How to change jb lockscreen to this?

View attachment 1886054

1. I want to remove white bounding box.

2. I want to move up the clock over widget boundary.

In ICS, there is a way to move clock upside.

By modifying keyguard_screen_unlock_portrait.xml file in framework-res.apk.

But in JB this method doesn't work well.

ps. I don't want to do this by 3rd party app like widget locker.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xd123456ye:
I may found a clue

I found a code about keyguard widget frame.

KeyguardWidgetFrame.java
public KeyguardWidgetFrame(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);

mLongPressHelper = new CheckLongPressHelper(this);

Resources res = context.getResources();
// TODO: this padding should really correspond to the padding embedded in the background
// drawable (ie. outlines).
float density = res.getDisplayMetrics().density;
int padding = (int) (res.getDisplayMetrics().density * 8);
setPadding(padding, padding, padding, padding);

mFrameStrokeAdjustment = 2 + (int) (2 * density);

// This will be overriden on phones based on the current security mode, however on tablets
// we need to specify a height.
mSmallWidgetHeight =
res.getDimensionPixelSize(com.android.internal.R.dimen.kg_small_widget_height);
mBackgroundDrawable = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.kg_widget_bg_padded);
mGradientColor = res.getColor(com.android.internal.R.color.kg_widget_pager_gradient);
mGradientPaint.setXfermode(sAddBlendMode);
}

If I can change following line or remove it. It will solve my problem.

setPadding(padding, padding, padding, padding);

I also decompiled android.policy.jar.

And found corresponding line.

.line 110
.local v1, padding:I
invoke-virtual {p0, v1, v1, v1, v1}, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/keyguard/KeyguardWidgetFrame;->setPadding(IIII)V

But I don't have knowledge of smali.

So how to manage that line?

Is is safe to remove or change to this?

invoke-virtual {p0, 0, 0, 0, 0}
