[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] popeye331:
i would go into settings/bout phone and see what it says your baseband is, if it says unknown reflash the uvmc6 radio, i would do that anyway but thats me..good luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TU Homer:
I've made this my DD. Very stable, and smooth.

Curious, is there any possibility that you will add an option to download Google Music to my SD card? This is my one remaining issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ipeemyself:
Hey you tell me what the difference from 1.20 oto 1.11 is. I know 1.20 is a lite version but what exactly is removed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NerdmastaX:
widgets and backgrounds mostly. a couple csc tweaks, and some fixes to preinstalled apps on data/app. (1.3 is an updated version of 1.2)

as for the music issue, im listening to snoop dogg - sweat right now.... in airplane mode, through google music..i just had to click on the file and select keep on device.

darkdraco - sounds like you are on the old baseband like popeye says.

mytoobits - i will eventually add it in, but last i checked tmobile was cracking down hard, forcing people to do user agent hacks and such. also i have the $70 dollar plan and cant tether anyways.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ipeemyself:
Hey, I don't know if this is a bug or if it's normal but in the messaging app, if I open a thread, there's no transition effect. It's just a plain switch. Either way, this doesn't bother me and this still is a great rom. Thanks if you know whether it's a bug or if it's normal!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -DarkKnight-:
What browsers do you all use? The stock one is kinda choppy to me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ipeemyself:
I use boat browser. Would you be willing to check whether there is a transition effect when opening a thread or starting a new message in the stock messaging app? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ipeemyself:
Hey, does Google Now work for you? When I ask "What is the weather", instead of the card appearing, it'll do a google search for it. Is that happening to anyone else?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -DarkKnight-:
That's what's its supposed to do
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ipeemyself:
Usually, it'd display the weather and a card would pop up. Now, it just glitches and does a regular google search
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NerdmastaX:
im not having any bugs either with weather, and as far as the messaging app i didnt change anything directly related to it., maybe its part of the 4 way reboot mod...in the next day ill try replacing the old file without the reboot mod and see if it is there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ipeemyself:
No, I'm not saying that the messaging app is buggy. I was just wondering that if you open a messaging thread, that if there's supposed to be a transition animation or if ts supposed to be a plain transition with no effect. As for Google now, its not the weather in general. In previous ROMs and generations, if I were to ask a question, a card would slide up with an animation and display the information. Its hard to explain, but either way, these problems do not bother me so no need to investigate too hard on what I'm reporting.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darkdraco:
had to reinstall it since i reverted to a backup. baseband said unknown like you said. i found the radio and flashed it and all seems to be find now.

thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ipeemyself:
for the browser, how do I disable desktoo view as default?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NerdmastaX:
check post 26, here is a link to it. it shows the line you need to change to false. it resides in system/csc/

the file explorer app should let you do all the editing you need on the phone, then reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ripgut:
BS rom

BS that it won't allow me to sign into the phone unless i'm connected via Wi-Fi.....back to CM i go..

---------- Post added at 09:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 AM ----------

This ROM isn't picking up my T-mobile signal, and connecting to it..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NerdmastaX:
a lil harsh, but allow me to help, i understand your frustration. your signal issue is the result of one of two problems, either A: you dont have the latest baseband (uvmc6) or B: you did not give it 5-10 mins to settle on first boot.

as far as sign in, i have thought about removing the setup wizards, but doing so might remove the ability to restore from a google account, i have to do more checking to make sure though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ripgut:
I'll flash that baseband now, and try again, thank you sir :) i let it sit for 20 minutes, also when i reboot the phone it stays at the samsung galaxy splash screen so i have to reflash this

using CWM btw..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NerdmastaX:
yea it sounds as though that is your issue (especially being stuck at the splash screen.) if using cwm ( i recommend twrp ) please use the wipe scripts before your first flash at the very least to reduce the possibility of any problems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ripgut:
God damnit, now CWM is corrupted, it won't go past wiping cache screen when i go to do so. Now i have to load ODIN on this PC, unroot, then re-root this damn thing...i can no longer count how many times CWM has done this to me over the years i miss the old Amon Ra recovery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NerdmastaX:
thats the same thing that made me hate cwm, it was reliable on the super old phones but touch based recoveries have outshone them in all of the newer phones ive used recently (evo 3d, evo 4g, this one). i havent had one issue with twrp and the interface is super easy and responsive. pmtr recently expressed some concerns about it too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ripgut:
Flashed TWRP via ODIN, reflashed this ROM so far so good, thanks for the help, never going back to CWM again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nickcaper:
this rom is a trap. its now requiring me to put a password in to use my phone!

wth
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NerdmastaX:
absolutely.... i programmed it so that anyone with the screename nickcaper has to put in a password....

no im just yankin your chain, but the only time the phone should require you to put in a password is if you turn on a lock screen password. if thats not the case a picture would be appreciated (you can screenshot by holding power and home at the same time). nothing has been put in by me with regards to passwords, lockscreens, and general system ui. the only modding this rom possesses at the moment is rearrangement and trimming of the apps. and some tweaks to the csc files to add extra functionality. Down the road i may do some theming, add a gps patch, things like that. unless cm10.1 becomes 99% stable before i do, because at that point even i will jump ship.

hope you get it figured out though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jr_718:
No ****ing way nickcaper
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NerdmastaX:
time of death - 7:45pm

cm is stable enough for me to switch over. this rom is hereby killed so i can begin work on a cornerstone based cm rom. ill leave this open for support only edit: in some playing around i got flashbar kinda working, if i can get it farther ill push out an update.

update 6/6/13: a note for anyone paying attention i wasn't able to make any progress on the multiwindow. part of the problem is the source for the mod i found here has files that need to be specifically edited for our device. mainly that "services" folder provided. if anyone has any better guides or tips im all ears, but like everyone else i kinda give up on fixing it by myself.

i have considered the idea of adding just the flashbar, if there is a want for it bad enough. but multiwindow wont work unless someone properly ports it.

But this is what pisses me off to no end. (begin rant) There is some jerk replying on every post that shows a glimmer of hope to it getting fixed saying some bs like "It wouldn't be usable on our device because the screen is too small..." Well the s3 has it and really isnt that much bigger. fact is our phone is big as hell. hold it up to an optimus t and you will see what i mean. and i used to run paranoid android on an optimus v with no issues, in fact it made the phone seem bigger..... It's like people are afraid of progress.(end rant)

if i keep this phone around i may try some file compares of that services folder in that guide to the original of that phone in that guide and try transferring the edits over by hand. but that may be a bigger task than i can handle alone. i would love to work with someone on it though if interested, perhaps have a bigass google hangout and discuss techniques and plans for fixing it.

(and as for cornerstone too may obstacles lie in my path for it to come to fruition any time soon, but the source is out and growing, and it is "possible")
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] juntjoo:
Does anyone know why I'm having trouble making shortcuts to Astro file manager folders, especially those that reside on my ext micro sd, and why to find it you have to go from mnt/ whereas before it was via sdcard/, and if that might be related to my Astro shortcuts issue? That's. I'm trying this forum since problem started since fresh install of this ROM plus Astro
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NerdmastaX:
i dont use astro, i have rom toolbox pro. i would install another rom to see if the issue still occurs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gabriel1946:
Your a retard sorry for the rudeness but you should read the thread before posting something like that people like you chase devs away.. On behalf of this fool im sorry OP thank you for your work:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NerdmastaX:
appreciate the support, i did think it was hillarious though. but how bout we let this rom fall back to the bottom, its great but there are newer greater things out there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gabriel1946:
Agreed I didn't realize the post was made 3 months ago lol :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] juntjoo:
I don't follow the latest ROMs so which one is like this that any of you could recommend. I like this one but I have that Astro shortcut issue which is a deal breaker for me but otherwise smooth ROM. I like it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NerdmastaX:
before i sold my phone i was on cyanogen mod/slim bean, but cm has been stable since i stopped development on this rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stewie-droid:
Any updates to this rom?

Any update on this ROM or is there a stock ROM that has been replacement for this one. I do not want heavily modified ROM. Just stock rom that is debloaded, rooted and slightly modified for few enhancements.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NerdmastaX:
sadly, no.. but i dont see why you couldn't update it yourself, i stopped development because i got it the way i wanted it... stable. I dont have the physical phone anymore so i cant do it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bookburner:
I'm guessing you have stopped developing this since its been so long but if you do update anymore adding in the tethering unlock would be great pretty much the only thing I want added. Good job
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mr_stevey:
:eek:

....

why...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Bannjio:

galaxy s2 heat problem. SOLVED !

I have tried all most everything advised on many forums. but didn't work. then I tried factory reset to my galaxy

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] NickMullet:
Can someone help me? I have an old, bricked Acer a100 tablet, Iconia. And I don't know how to unbrick it.

Yes, I am a noob, lol, because I really don't know what to do, and whenever I see a thread, or with instructions, I'm dumbfounded at the fact that I can't understand these tech words..

Here is just some general information I've seen people ask for:

Date of purchase: January of 2012.

ROM- I believe it was updated ICS or the one previous.. I can't remember, it was so long ago.

Before the brick, it updated something, and wouldn't turn back on at all.

I've attempted hard reboot. (power button, and reset button) still to no avail.

Please, no hate comments, I seriously need to fix this.

Thank you.

Short answer, it can't be without replacing the motherboard.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] NickMullet:
Are you sure it can't be fixed without replacing the motherboard?

I'm not questioning your say so - I just rather not spend money again.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Yes. There's currently no way to fix it once it happens, as its out of warranty its up to you. In warranty Acer just replaces it themselves.

after unlocking my bootloader with flash tools and lost my drm keys and ba2

so i thought to myself what would happen if i flashed my locked TA image

i then reflashed it with adb and rebooted my sony z was

locked and drm and ba2 was working again it was like i never unlocked it sweet
​

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] lzyllp:
What command you are use to reflash it？
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] mysterio619:
seriously is this for real??
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] rickwyatt:
im just redoing it just to make sure
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] mysterio619:
if it works i'm unlocking my bootloader in no time :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Egan:
Also with photos through Album? Can you show screenshots of it when be2 is on and off?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] babylonbwoy:
if it was that simple I think that dev would have already did it, plus Sony secure its stuff harder than that.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] djselbeck:
You can check in service menu under service tests if DRM Keys are intact.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] rickwyatt:
if tested two times now and once unlocked and flashed custom boot then restored reflashed ta and ba2 works again

were should i look
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] gm007:
Maybe you can upload your ta backup,so we can test ;)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Egan:
Dial: *#*#7378423#*#*

Service test >> verify certificates

I guess...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] rickwyatt:
all certificates found
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] rickwyatt:
it works just tryed again

also once iv flash the TA image i can't flash boot.img anymore

C:\adb>fastboot flash boot C:\Users\Smokey's\Desktop\boot.img

sending 'boot' (11890 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.748s]

writing 'boot'...

FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

finished. total time: 0.753s

and flash tool asks for the unlock key again
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] djselbeck:
I don't have stock rom installed at the moment but I know there are 2 Tests one is for Certificates and one for drm keys.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] rickwyatt:
iv got 4 Certificates
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] rickwyatt:
here a screen shot as you can see its working
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] gm007:
Do you want share the backup?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Egan:
Here is mine: Mod Edit
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] rickwyatt:
you should not share it as its for your phone only
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] gm007:
i hope no one tried this cause i hard bricked my phone.:(

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] dubist:
i would be nice if we can backup our TA Partition to save BA2 and than flash any custom firmware and restore the TA Partition with BA2

so we would have BA2 and Custom Firmware with Custom Kernel :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] mirhl:
impossible

since restoring TA relock BL and a locked BL doesn't allow a custom kernel
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Androxyde:
yes strange it works on my xperia V too (unlocked) but it does not work on my Xperia S once unlocked. it does not work on my Arc S too when unlocked
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Egan:
Here are my latest adjustments to the tool. (file >> download)

Changes:

- (Backup) Extra MD5 checksum check before pulling the backup image from sdcard.

- (Restore) Extra MD5 checksum check after pushing the backup package to sdcard.

- Compatibility check to see if the device (other Xperia models) are compatibile with this tool (no guarantees!).

Either this tool has to merge into Androxyde's Flashtool or I will make a better user interface for it, cause this batch scripting is making no one happy ;).

@Androxyde: Any plans for adding the functionality of this tool into Flashtool?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
We are evaluating this for merging
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
I need some people to Send me P.M. containing TA dumps before and after unlocking bootloader

Also for those who have permanently locked bootloaders (Bootloader unlock allowed: No) send me your TA dump via P.M.

Remember DO NOT POST YOUR TA DUMPS IN PUBLIC!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kallb123:
I'm likely to be unlocking my bootloader for the first time tonight so the device is totally fresh (except root exploit but that doesn't count). What exactly would you want me to send? The ta.img?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Thraxzzz:
Hope doomlord has something up his sleeves :p a 'cracked' TA maybe? :p
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Egan:
Yes, before and after unlocking.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
Hi,

Now hopefully Doomlord's evaluation can prove that this really is a way to get the phone back to original. :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Egan:
I'm going to unlock my baby tonight after I have made secure backups of all the partitions. Then I will have a look myself too see which partitions and what changes. I will make the backups before and after as fast as possible after each other to make sure they keep as identical as can be.

When you do not have a pair of images by then, I'll be glad to share them with you.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] [NUT]:
I've sent both to you by PM :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Androxyde:
Feature is almost ready inside FT.

Backup is OK

Restore is almost OK, only dd back to TA partition is missing. I will send you a test version in 8 hours (I'm at the office right now)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] petetoto:
I can only do an "after relocking" one. Does it help?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Osyx:
No don't think so because you've lost your keys already then and there's nothing to compare with :eek:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Fysi:
Never has the phrase 'Good things come to those that wait' been so apt with regards to this phone...

First root without unlocked bootloader, and then reapplying the DRM keys if you unlock the bootloader!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Egan:
It certainly is! However it's always good to make full low-level backups of the device's eMMC before doing anything drastic like unlocking bootloader or overwriting partitions. Then whenever you can use fastboot or adb, you have a better chance of rescuing or restoring your device when needed.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] mirhl:
are you looking for Xperia Z dump only or other devices (xperia ZL, S, ion, U..) could help too?

and are relocked BLs ok?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
thanks i have got enough dumps of TA :p

now i need time to examine them
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Osyx:
Haha it's over 9000! TA overload :P

do you think it would be possible to unlock the bootloader for people having "Bootloader unlock allowed: No" ?

Here is Beta6 of Flashtool (first install beta5 then update x10flasher.jar with this attached one).

Place RootMe.tar into custom/root/ServiceMenu (or Root feature will not work) ;)

This version has TA backup and restore from Advanced menu (Raw mode)

Take care this is really basic. I mean no backup history and backup stored right into Flashtool Folder :)

I will place it somewhere else in the final release and there will be an history and a choose from this history for restoring.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Egan:
Merci! I'll give it a go tomorrow :).
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Androxyde:
Here is my implementation :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Egan:
Looks good and so much cleaner than batch ;).

I really like it and will sure have a closer look at your other Flashtool code some other time.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Egan:
Couldnt resist giving it a try before going to sleep.

My initial impression:

- Backup is working as expected.

- Restore does not compare ta.md5 and ta.dd and thus I may overwrite with a corrupt image. You do check to see if the current partition equals the image it is about to restore, but you do not know the state of the ta.dd cause you have n't compared its ta.md5. So I did not continue restoring.

- A yes/no box is prompting "Partition and file differ. Restore anyway ?". I think, of course they differ thats why I'd like to restore. Maybe it should be "Partition and file do not differ. Restore anyway ?" ?

Thats it for now. Will have another dive tomorrow :).
