[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thibor69:
Hi -

I am sorry if this question bothers some ...

but I have looked around (searched)

for a day or 2 and learning the do's and don'ts

of Rooting / Installing Recovery / Flashing ROM's for This phone (my 5th Android phone). I am pretty familiar with rooting and

running custom recoveries flashing roms and kernels and even a little coding (very little) on many phones and tabs over the past

couple years. But this is a new phone ( well new for me ... old for everyone elses haha ) . I have used the search forum button,

but with this phone in particular (T-Mobile Version) it takes me to hundreds of different results.....

What I am asking for is

ANY HELP AT ALL

. Be it a reply or a link or just a push into the correct thread. Like I said, I want to

Install a recovery (either CWM or TWRP )

Root the phone

Start flashing custom ROMS and Kernels

I see some program called "Odin" but I have never used a PC app to root my stuff in the past ... so yeah I am confused :confused:

Lastly....

what is throwing me OFF is my phone is a Samsung Galaxy S II, but it is the T-Mobile version, so it does not have the home key,

and I can't even figure out how to get into recovery without that.

PLEASE Help me .... Here is exactly what I got. ( See pictures bellow )

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S II (

T-MOBILE VERSION

)

MODEL: SGH-T989

STOCK [JB] 4.0.4

Network: T-Mobile

SIM Card: Apx 2 year's old

SD-Card: 32 Gig's

Currently I am running a heavily modded MIUI on a T-Mobile LG G2x P999 and I run Windows 7 Ultimate on my PC.

*Note* I DO NOT CARE if I lose anything that is currently on the phone.

Thank you for at the very lest reading this far !! I ramble on a lot I know :rolleyes: Looking forward to some helpful replies :good:

Is there any developper here who can know the reason and develop this so we can hide llast seen timestamp like on iOS?

Viber has been recently banned in Saudi Arabia (and some other middle east countries).

But there is a work-around for this. ;)

I have done it only for android devices but it may be possible for iOS (jail-broken).

Requirement:

1. Rooted phone. :rolleyes:

OR OR OR ---> unrooted phone IF you are running Android 4.0+ :good:

2. Installed viber (I have only tried this with viber already installed)

3. Psiphon 3 (circumvention system, way better than hotspot shield or any other i have tried) :angel:

Note: The website for psiphon download may be blocked by your ISP, but it can be downloaded in many ways. Also, there are versions for iOS and windows XP/Vista/7. Not sure about Win 8 though.

The steps are simple (assuming your phone has been rooted OR you are using android 4.0+).

1. just install the LATEST (client version 39) psiphon apk and run it.

2. In the options below, tick "Tunnel Whole Device"

3. You are now ready to use viber. As a bonus, you can browse any blocked website.

CAUTION: Psiphon 3 DOES NOT mask or hide your online actions/history. Use another app for that.

DISCLAIMER: Any app mentioned here is NOT MINE. I am just a happy user and am just recommending them to you.

If this method works for you, please hit the THANKS button below. Good Luck!

LG L5 (E610 )

Windows 8 x64

oryginall usb cable

Hello,

When I was flashing my phone yesterday, something went wrong, and my phone isn't working very well(i guess ). So, i have had Android 4.1.2 on stock non-brand ROM. I've decided ,that i will upgrade it to CM 10 , which has nightly builds. There were no errors during instalation and after reboot i have seen my CM ROM working. BUT, i haven't got any GSM connection, and phone was saying, that "there were errors on refreshing networks list" or smth similiar. I've decided to install baseband switcher from L7 device ( i know, stupid decision .. ) in recovery . I did it, and after reboot i got stripes on my screen. I thinked, that it's bricked, but when I plugged in USB cable to my computer, android boots and , have normal desktop with all features enabld, BUT i don't have ability to go to Emergency mode or Recovery mode ( stripes, stripes everywhere ) . What shall i do, is there a small chance to restore my phone from adb in eclipse, or smth ?

My friend Eclipse is used to build android apps,in our case(Eclipse application is a plug-in that creates an extension for the extension point,to create applications in java form)... http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_What_is_an_Eclipse_application?

As for the bricked phone,its not bricked if it comes on,its called a soft brick and can be fixed by reinstalling a recovery,then a rom that is compatible with your phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajay74:
Diablo 7 is right as your phone is booting up then you are having soft brick it happens to lot of people what you have to do is just flash custom recovery through pc and look for some compatible rom and flash it via recovery

Total brick means it will not boot up it cannot be detected by USB it's boot got corrupt
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rybczyns:
Ok, thanks for your reply. The thing is, I can't go to recovery or emergency mode, so I think, that i can't use flash tool. What kind of tools, do you mean, which can help me?

EDIT:

Ok, i got it works, First I uninstalled all drivers from my OS, then installed it again from LGMobileSupportTool and using Emergency System Recovery make it works. I'm glad to have Android 4.1.2

Thanks for your replies.

I completely formatted my phone and now I am stuck because I forgot that I didnt have an sd card to back up the new rom I want to flash to so how can I move it to my phone? I connected it to a pc but it didnt recognize it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cupfulloflol:
Use ADB while in a custom recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedJack117:
How do I use that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cupfulloflol:
There are quite a few guides on how to setup and use adb. There is an FAQ stickied on this very subforum that likely has the information you seek. adb push is the command you want to look at.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hottix:
..or if you want to give a clean you can also use toolkit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedJack117:
Thing is it won't even recognize my phone at all... I believe drivers are installed or maybe it has to do with the fact that I can't enable us debugging cause my phone doesn't have a rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UncleMike:
If the issue is getting the new ROM on the SD card, buy/borrow a small USB adapter so you can access the SD card on the PC without using the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cupfulloflol:
You don't need USB debugging enabled for adb to recognize your device in recovery. USB debugging is needed for adb to work while Android is booted, but not in recovery. The drivers on the other hand, you will need to figure out why those aren't working. Once those work, your custom recovery will allow adb to function. You then can adb push the file(s) to your sdcard.

What adapter would be helpful in this situation? If you are talking about removing the sdcard, you realize this device doesn't have non-removable memory right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedJack117:
Yeah im guessing its an issue with my drivers then im not not sure why
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cupfulloflol:
You don't need USB Debugging to be on to get adb to work in your recovery. As I said previously, USB debugging only matters when you boot into the OS. You don't have an OS to boot into, and even if you did it wouldn't matter in the recovery. I have USB debugging off right now, and use adb in recovery quite often. The state of USB debugging, either on or off, isn't your issue.

ADB doesn't recognize your device because you are having driver issues. Maybe they aren't installed, aren't installed properly, or something else. Figure out what is going on with those, and adb will recognize your device in recovery. You then can use it to push the file(s) you want to flash, or use sideload.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedJack117:
Ok I got it to work thank you

Isn't easiest/fastest way is :-

fastboot flash system <The system image >.img

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
That would definitely be needed, if he was trying to flash Google factory images. He's trying to push a flashable ROM zip to /sdcard/, and those, as you know, are not packaged for fastboot.

I recently purchased the HDTV Adapter Kit only to find out that it doesn't work. Is this a known issue with CM10.1 or do I possibly have a defective adapter?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noob2this:
Here's what I've been told.

The HDMI adapter works in Nook mode at this point in time, and it can be flaky.

Try turning it off, then plug in the adapter and make sure it's secure

If you're using Android it won't work.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
are you talking about the nook branded mhl/hdmi adapter? it works fine for me on CM 10
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpisini:
You have to make sure it is really pushed in. I have had it look like it was in and not work really push it in flush.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noob2this:
Yes he is

This is another thread I started that has had no replies, so here goes.

"Hi guys,

Since N2A cards don't support either of these options, they said Android doesn't support the HDTV adapter, Bluetooth is flaky at best, and wait until the release of JB 4.3. OUCH!

Will side loading apps be a problem too, or will I be able to use the hardware if the app needs it, since the OS is still the same?

And isn't the HDTV adapter basically a driver issue in Android, which can be addressed with a update?

Any info would be great! "

That said, maybe it's because it's running off the sd card , and not rooted. I don't know.

As my HD+ is about 3 weeks old, I'm not sure if I want to void the warranty yet.

Let me know.

I need a little help i have a problem with Link2SD. I assign 500 mb to ext2 partition, and i have all my apps in the sd card, playstore, facebook and 2 others are linked. Well my problem is that, i have a notification for less space in internal storage :/ when i trying to install some new games ( well i have like 5 games installed already on the sd)... So why i have just 19% free space in internal storage if i have all my apps in sd? PD : see the image and sorry my bad english
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamashank:
Link all apps. Don't move them to SD Card.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GalaxyVolvoZ:
move your apps to internal storage and then link them :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuhO.-:
Im gonna try that :). But i have another issue, why when i install apps automatically install on sd card, i remember in old version of link2sd, new apps are linking to sd and no install on sd. How i can activate that if is possible?

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaimo:
I've been having a similar problem to the OP. Am I right in thinking you move ALL applications to internal storage, even the ones that install to SD card by default and then link them?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GFXfre@k:
I guess there's a problem with your rom or kernel. Who knows
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaimo:
But is this the way to do it? Make sure user apps are are on PHONE before linking?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XS_31:
I'm using LinkSD and it saves me a lot of space in /data.

The way it works :

When installed, an app has three or four parts : the .apk file, the .dex file (in a deodexed ROM), the data folder and, eventually, one or more .so in /data/data/app_folder/lib

- If the app is in internal storage, every parts of it are in /data : .apk in /data/app, .dex in /data/dalvik-cache, data folder and libs in /data/data/name_of_the_app folder

- When the application is moved to sd Card, the .apk file is moved in /mnt/asec/, but the .dex and the data folder remains in internal storage (some applications may also have data in SD Card)

- When the application is linked, the .app, the .dex and the .so files are moved to /data/sdext2 (which is the place where the 2nd partition of the SD Card is mounted), only the data folder (without libs) remains in /data/data (internal storage).

So, the best way to save place in internal storage is to link user applications (no need to move it to internal storage first, it also works when the application is in SD Card).

All my 50 user apps are linked, and I still have 85 Mb free in /data.

Not sure if this is going to be of any help but it worked for me after I got a similar Country Code Error while trying to install a new ROM

Darko3 suggested it in this very same forum.

It's a nuclear option and will leave your handset crispy fresh and new but that was fine for me.

After saving all files you ever want to see again to your PC, hold down the top power button and the reset button (as per a hard reset) AND push the direction key, in its central position. Your screen should go dark grey (indicating it's in the bootloader mode). This enables you to load on any ROM you like.

At least, that was my experience.

All's been plain sailing since.

Hope it works for you to, but be warned - don't do it unless you REALLY mean it as your machine's memory will be wiped clean as the day it was born!

ok. thanks wobblypocket. it's work on my xda. and successfully... thanks bro

If your phone is rooted you can try to flash a kernel which supports slide to wake (e.g. Franco, etc) and install the App "Touch Control (Nexus 4)" ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2101488). Then you can wake your device either by double tapping or sliding over the screen. No need for buttons. :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dovedescent7:
almost 2 years ago,my wife and i purchased two Samsung i727 Galaxy s2 skyrockets...

They've been by far the best phones we have ever had.Especially paying 45/mo for Straight Talk..Its been amazing...

About a week ago,i noticed that my Bluetooth and WiFi had really bad problems ever since

With the Bluetooth,if i have in my pocket and walk,it will loose connection while walking because its shaking...Ive tried same Bluetooth device on wife's phone and no issue..i clean installed back to Jellybean,then clean installed ICS again and it fixed nothing..i did it the *proper way,erasing system and caches 3x etc etc tried a few different Os's nothing fixed it....

The WiFi issue is strange too...the range is super short...For the last few years,i get a great wifi signal all the way out to the end of my acre yard while mowing...

Now? I have to be in the same room as the router...

Ive tested these both,on multiple installs,different batteries changed apns,i changed every variable...

been working on it for 4 hours now..

The only thing i think it could be (that's fixable) is somehow i butt dialed a secret code that changed something...

Other than that,the clean installs from Odin should have fixed any software issue..

I have a pretty bad feeling..

Is it finally time to put my favorite toy to rest and upgrade? I definitely cant afford it right now but its needed too,for my business....

any ideas?

im wondering if i just dropped it one too many times-though its in awesome shape still..no scratches,nothing,,,
