[Galaxy S 4 General] mathieulh:
I see lots of false assumptions in this post that aren't based on facts, allow me to correct some of those:

1. Write protection enabled is the equivalent of S-ON (the status that appears on retail Qualcomm based HTC devices)

what this means is that the bootloader itself (PRL, SBL, ABOOT...) is signed and its signature is checked upon writing it to the phone. That's all there is. The write protection flag is defined by a radio AT command (basically, the bootloader will send an AT command and depending on the reply, it will (or not) enable the write protection status. The write protection can also be enabled/disabled through another set of AT commands, the radio however performs checks while these commands are triggered to make sure only the vendor can perform those. In the case of HTC devices (though that is probably true for Samsung's devices Qualcomm baseband) a smartcard containing the vendor's certificate needs to be inserted in the sim slot while the AT command is triggered), this flag is set on most existing Qualcomm devices (even devices such as the Nexus One, except for the holiday editions (the ones given at google I/O) and some engineering devices). Of course hacks have been designed in the past to disable the write protection flag (as in, set S-ON to S-OFF).

2. regardless of the write protection status, the radio is signed and flashing an unsigned/unsecure radio is not possible (without exploiting the radio itself) the radio will verify the signature of any binary before overwritting itself. Allowing consumers to mess with the radio's binaries would probably be in violation of a bunch of FCC and CE rules, so don't blame Qualcomm for this, Qualcomm's basebands however usually are very secure and as far as I know, the vendor (Samsung) itself does not have access to the baseband's sources or private keys needed to sign those, only Qualcomm should be able to modify the baseband code, however because of this a configuration area is available to the vendor to set the allowed bands, NCK, calibration data and so on, the configuration data is called the NV data.

3. The Boot and System partition are writable and aren't checked (since the bootloader does not enforce the signature checks on the Boot partition (The right QFuse isn't blown, except on AT&T and VZW devices) and the kernel is the one doing the work of checking the System partition's signature (since you can replace the kernel, the chain of trust can be broken at this point).

On I9505, the only things that are checked are the bootloader and radio signatures.
[Galaxy S 4 General] yearhome:
HELP!

My 9505 is in the same situation, "write protection:enable" under ODIN mode, can not flash the custom ROM, how solution?

How come we only have a few ROM's and they galaxy 3 has tons? When can we at least get an official cyanogen?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gossa777:
Uhhh you cant really compare s3 and OG in terms of developments and number of roms.

Obviously s3 has a lot more users than OG.

You shouldnt expect similar amount of developments to be on all devices although we have got some real talented devs.

Have you been seeing ATT OG community for a while?

If you did you must know that for past month there were some bombardment of new developments.

You should be able to see official cm too soon (i hope so too). But cm from nexus 4 ports are very stable and nice too try using then first!

Are there any things that I can try if I'm getting intermittent data signals/dropping calls constantly? On previous devices these symptoms would imply there was a radio issue...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Xrunner87:
Try to change the baseband. Maybe it will be ok.

My english is bad....Or even worse than bad....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] localceleb:
What's the recommended preferred network setting?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dubisz:
It's difficult to determine the right baseband for you - it depends on your localization, your carrier etc. Read through this topic and play with different basebands to find the best for you:

Yeah, baseband versions aren't dependent on system version - they are binary files with firmware for communications hardware. You can flash'em while you're using JB.

My bad - you haven't mentioned you're on xt912. These are for GSM xt910. You've got to search the forum for cdma radios.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] leeweijie99:
Some of you might not like the battery percentage on the status bar as it is distracting.

On ICS, you would need root to disable battery percentage. But now, on JB, you can disable it without root.

1.) Go to settings

2.) Go to power management

3.) Untick status bar information

4.) Enjoy:)

[Acer Iconia A500] yamiyugi764:
My acer tablet suddenly froze while streaming some youtube vids so i decided to reboot it. Upon reboot it went past the logo and was stuck on the android flashy screen so i rebooted it again and now its stuck on the Acer logo. I tried a soft reset with a pin and no results. I did the volume+rocker and it booted when empty cache booting external kernel image text. It proceeded to an android with moving gears then it went to an android with a red triangle with exclamation mark. My acer does not have an sd card attached and it is rooted on icecream sandwich. It has no custom rom. Is my tab beyond repair or could i possible flash a firmware with an sd card. I currently do not own an sd card but will be willingly to get one if it will fix my tab. This tablet is a refurb thats been working for 16 months and this is the first this happened. I hope its not a motherboard failure.

[One (M7) Themes and Apps] nugzo:
I was hoping someone had or could make a set of ATT status bar icons in cyan (Alarm, BT, wireless, mobile. battery, airplane, sim,etc) with vilan theme system so it will not overwrite System UI. I'd be willing to donate $10 to someone who would share the complete set with us. $20 if you could make a complete set where the Mobile data in/out animations worked properly on roms based off of international firmware. As far as i know the international just shows that there is data activity, not whether its in or out. In case you are confused here is the ATT in-out 4g LTE icons.

I also posted this in the ATT One section. Not many views overall in that forum so i also posted here..where i should have probably posted to start with.. THis place is full of awesome theme pros!!
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] superchilpil:
Can't give you a ETA or anything but if I have time after work one day I could throw that together for you.

Although obviously it would just be the icons, not sure if I could get the data to show in or out properly.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cryodream:
Hi, new member here. Video said to be brief, so here it goes:

Phone About details:

Model: AT&T Galaxy S II I777

Android: 2.3.6

Kernel: 2.6.35.7

Build: UCKK6

I wanted to do a factory reset on my phone, but I needed to backup some apps, like Viber, etc. So I needed root to use Titanium Backup Pro.

I used Framaroot to unroot. I chose to install Superuser. Root went ok (afaik) because I got a "Success" message and Superuser was installed. I then installed Titanium Backup Pro and tried to run it. It hanged on on the start screen where it says: "Asking for root rights...". I tried many times, once even 10 minutes, but every time I ended up pressing back button and then I always got "Activity Superuser Request (in application Superuser) is not responding". I tried waiting - no luck, I had to force close. Now I had no idea what to do, so I used factory reset thinking it will reset the phone and remove the Superuser. No luck - after the factory reset Superuser is still there and there is no option to uninstall it :/

So what do I do now? The chicken or the egg... From hours of searching google and here on the forums, I need to be rooted to use file manager to delete superuser, but I can run any app which needs root, coz stupid Superuser wont give it. Me>head>wall>bang.

Like the title says: how do I remove Superuser? I would ike to try SuperSU, maybe that one would work, as Framaroot says it rooted successfully... Or should I use any other root method?

Please, help me to sort this out.

Thank You in advance.

P.S. as I'ma newbie here I could not post/ask in the Framaroot thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
I actually hadn't heard of this until now. Our device is said to be supported, you're correct. I've never used it, but I can tell you how I always root. I just install a kernel (our kernels on this phone have CWM recovery built into them. Never use rom manager) to root my device. I'm assuming since you're on gingerbread , you wanna stay on gingerbread? I flash an old siyah.tar file with Odin and bam. It's quick and works for me. However, there is this new app called exynos abuse . Works for ics I know that, and he says it may or may not work on 2.3.x as well. Worth a shot to look at .http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2050297
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cryodream:
[MENTION=4176532]Phalanx7621[/MENTION] thank you so much for replying.

Sorry for not being clear what I wanted to achieve, I was in a bit of a panic mode, I guess. I was worried about my phone and at the same time I was worried about making new thread, but I could not find anything on my problem.

To be precise I would like to know these couple of things:

I wanted to make sure, than I didn't ****up irreversibly and my phone is not doomed.

I would like to know how to install custom rom and root it. I would like to install SHOstock3 RoM for i777. I bought Galaxy Notes 2s for my gf and my mother and I love the Jelly Bean on their phones. BTW, maybe there is something better than SHOstock3?

I would like to know how to reset/reinstall the phone to get it back to the factory/new/untouched/original os state. I mean, if custom rom works funky, I would like to get back to official version. If its possible. And then at least root that stock android, to be able to use Titanium backup Pro to uninstall all that crapware that comes with it.

Should I use SuperSU (SuperSu Pro) instead of Superuser? I mean, Superuser clearly has some kind of problem on my phone.

What would be the best/safest way to do those things?

That is why I used it before posting here and asking to make sure I could use it. I usually have a rule to ask and double check before doing, especially when I'm risking bricking a phone for good. I am too poor to not care. I apologize if I'm asking obvious to you or dumb questions, but in reality, the amount of info here on the forums is a little bit overwhelming and confusing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
A. You dont need root to flash a custom rom. You need a custom kernel flashed via ODIN to get CUSTOM RECOVERY (aka CWM)

B. There are stickies and posts abound covering EXACTLY how to get back to stock and what files you need to do so

As long as you can get into DOWNLOAD mode, ODIN or HEIMDALL will get you out of any predicament...

You should do some research first before going any further..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cryodream:
So after reading and re-reading the guide [GUIDE] How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash Counter!! by creepyncrawly in the stickies, I want to double check my steps:

1. How to read the flash counter on an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II.

Already done - Custom Binary Download: NO, Current Binary: Samsung Official.

2. How to root by flashing Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to Stock, Kernel + Rooted System Package with Modem using Odin3 One-Click Downloader (Windows)

I'm on UCKK6 and windows user, so this one is the only option, I gather. Questions:

2a. Do I need to install Kies on my PC for this step? I ask, because I tried and was able to enter Download Mode by simply connecting my phone to PC without manually installing any drivers or Kies.

2b. Will there be any problems that I tried to root with Framaroot and there is Superuser (which doesn't work) installed on my phone already?

3. How to Install a customized kernel containing ClockworkMod Recovery onto your Rooted phone from your phone, using Mobile Odin Lite or Mobile Odin Pro

3a. Can I use Mobile Odin Pro? The guide says it a preferred method, at the same time I remember reading in some sticky warning against using Rom Manager (iirc Mobile Odin was mentioned too). Does it mean, that Mobile Odin Pro is ok to flash kernel, but not roms? I would prefer Mobile Odin, as it seems easiest.

3b. Guide says: Usually choose between the following two Gingerbread kernels: Entropy512's Daily Driver or Siyah 2.6. So which one? I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna be able to choose by only reading, I need some experienced recommendation on this one. Phalanx7621 said he uses Syiah, so I should probably too..?

[*]4. Flash the ROM package of your choice using ClockworkMod Recovery and a CWM flashable zip package or Mobile Odin with any package

[*]4a. Should I use ClockworkMod Recovery and nothing else?

[*]4b. I guess it all depends on whats the answer to question 3a. Can I use Mobile Odin Pro to flash Roms?

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
No. You need USB Drivers for Samsung Phones, preferably the latest version. You can get that by installing kies, or by installing the drivers directly from download. Some people install kies to get the drivers, then uninstall kies without uninstalling the drivers. You may have them already. Look in the Uninstall Program dialog in Windows to see if you have USB Drivers for Samsung Phones listed. If so, you're good to go. Also, if you open a version of Odin on the desktop, then put the phone into download mode, you can tell if Odin recognizes the phone. If so, you have correct drivers. (You don't have to flash anything at this stage.)

No. The package will replace current system anyway.

Yes. You can use Mobile Odin Pro, or Mobile Odin Lite (the free version available in the developer's xda thread.) You can use this to flash the kernel, and you can use it to flash a complete firmware (rom). There is no connection between rom manager and Mobile Odin. You are evidently remembering wrongly what you read.

Remember that this guide is somewhat old, dating back to the very first firmware distribution that came with the phone, which was 2.3.4 Gingerbread. So, if you use the one-click downloader in this thread, you should install an custom kernel which is compatible with the system, or otherwise the system will not boot up. However, even if that happened, you could still boot into recovery and flash a firmware using ClockworkMod. Also, it doesn't matter which one you choose, because after you flash your custom firmware, that kernel will be gone anyway. It's just a step of the process.

The alternative to this would be to use the most current stock plus root package instead. There is a link to ICS 4.0.4 UCLL6 plus root at the bottom of the links in my signature. In that case, you can use the most current kernel, of which the most likely ones are also linked in the OP of that thread. The rest of the procedure is the same.

Read the last paragraph in the guide. You can use ClockworkMod Recovery. You can use Mobile Odin. And you can use other methods as well. It's just that almost all firmware developers package their firmware (roms) in ClockworkMod flashable zip files. And you can not use the CWM zips in Mobile Odin.

Hope this answers all your questions. After you go through this, your phone should be just fine.
