[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
@ OP you got it man. You hit the spot on every Q.

Why M.O? Because it's easy & fast plus it's android based, no need for PC. Also you can use it with your new device.

If you don't wanna buy the pro app, the lite version will suit you well.

About jb leak, it's non-country basedv (international as it's a test firmware).

The whole idea is that you flash that with M.O, get your CSC and flash another official ROM (branded or unbranded) with that same app.

The process might take...15 min tops.

Ooh nice! Sweet ! :p Kinda had my hopes down ..long story. (Read a lot, really, and saw a lot of different, harsh replies to many posts, even here. Thought the """hacking""" scene(s) (from which I am pretty much out of, for again, a lot of years now :)) had changed or sumwat ..:\ :p (from having responses from say Theo de Raadt (OpenBSD) and David S. Miller (Linux) (90s :)*) to getting responses from people who want a as high as possible post count and thank you very much rating or so :P.)

*) Off Topic: I might have a link where I simply ask why the speed difference was (1998) kinda huge between an OpenBSD fs mounted under OpenBSD and the same mounted under Linux :P ....yeah, nice :)

Will look into all this tomorrow or anytime soon I hope. Blackbirds are singing already !@ :p (I will keep this data, it is much appreciated of course :)).

Thanks guys!

(and yeah, I might appreciate Chainfire once more with Mobile Odin :) (bloody clever dutchy :p))

Please do not be flabbergasted for the fact that I'm not done yet !@ ("15 mins max!" :))) (I do not have a bunch of Android devices laying around that I fool around with frequently :p)

Well, "knows what they're doing" ...hmm :p I would not have been without a CSC code in it now then ...although we call can make mistakes ? :\ :p

Anyway, got Mobile Odin. Much to my surprise I ran into some people (here) posting it's not that reliable. Got my doubts on that, I never did dive into Android so cannot say 'how correct' they can be.

More important (perhaps!) ...I heard/read somewhere that M.O does not wipe data or something ? (hate to be vague sorry)

Now there's wipe options in the CWM recovery mode and such. But if I recall that might have been the spot where people had their phone bricked (with a specific ROM and/or a 4.0.4 one?).

So I just want a clean phone, rooted if possible, shouldn't be hard with Mobile Odin Pro looking at it...with the correct CSC on it. I get the stuff above. Only, the clean part, the JB leaked one would wipe everything so there might not be an issue ?

I'm slow with all this since as said, I want to be thorough -plus- the phone is slooooow atm. Did not find the culprit (except *me* then :)) so backing up all with CWM and also Titanium Backup Pro to ext.sd and dropbox/google drive/box (thorough !!! :PP) took a while.....:p

Ran into these whilst waiting for the phone to do its thing and such ...:) (don't worry, it's not the only thing I do in a day :))))

Anything is possible, but having mentioned the above, it's still simply the way to try and get it all to 4.1.2 and the correct CSC via:

- backing up, using different methods, also backing up EFS (did not even look up what it comprehends yet.....shame on me)

- get leaked JB on the external SD card (hm, does MO access that? anyway that's easy to find out :))

- let MO do its job. (wonder if any questions will pop up there)

(hm, already one :p ...instructions on Sammobile ((Source: XDA-Developers) lol :)) use "regular" :p Odin. Have no experience with MO. Yes, there's always more to read :p.)

...hopefully end up with a CSC present ..:p

- flash an official ROM (XEN in my case), using MO again, root it again, have CWM installed again.

and see how far I end up.

Did I stray from the path to travel or ..? :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
As for mobile Odin, it's developed by chainfire (elite recognised dev). Gaston swears by M.O., and I personally have never seen a report of "M.O. bricked my phone". Not to say it doesn't happen, but all flashing does have its risks, as does flashing with regular Odin.

You only need to worry about the 4.0.4 hardbrick if you're currently on 4.0.4. If not, don't worry about it.

Yes, M.O. accesses external sd, just use the 'choose file' option and it will allocate the correct files to flash in the correct manner. Double check the phone, pda and csc just to make sure. Make sure you tick everroot: end result is rooted stock, hopefully with a csc.

So nope, you're on the track mate! And plus if anything does go wrong, you're rivalling me for number of backups, so you'll be able to fix yourself up!

I can't see anything going wrong as you seem to have it sussed... Good luck!

I really need to make a vid to show people how easy and safe this is.

Imagine you're 100 meters away from the shore, stucked in a sandbank. You really need to get home cause you can't be late to a date with a smoking hot chick.

You just gotta go for it.

You look around and spot a lifesavier so you think to yourself " I could make it without it, but then again if the sea begins to act up I'd be screwed, I might even die out there".

What do you do?

You can go for it with the lifesavier knowing that if something happens you still got your swimming skills to work it out.

Now if you leave your lifesaver behind....you better swim up...cause that's all you got.

(I don't have to say that the swim is the act of flashing and the hot chick is the ROM you wanna try out , do I?)

(typing this a bit fast, got a friend waiting ..:p)

Sweet! All went like a charm! Got a CSC code of the leaked one, got the XEN CSC code of the official stock JB !

Only I thing, configured the phone's accounts and such on behalf of my girlfriend and then noticed that e.g. the gallery is still filled with stuff of mine, say whatsapp images, bluetooth transfers etc. Not from off the external SD card.

Check with ES File Explorer and yeah, in /sdcard theres still quite a mess of what I had going on in there :p

Did some wipes, factory resets, wipe/clear cacheS from recovery menu etc, but that did not help ...

That I have to fix still.

Important thing ofcourse, CSC, not bricking it etc ...splendid! :P Thanks guys ! :)))

(really need to figure out to get it truly cleaned up now tho :\ :p)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
Great work mate!! Glad you got it sorted :)

To get rid of the other stuff, it's all saved on the internal sd card. Make sure you back up whatever you need, cos when you wipe it there's no return. I'm not sure about stock recovery, but it's possible to wipe internal sd card from CWM, if you were planning to have a rooted stock firmware.

Heya :p Yeah that's the Samsung thing, never figured out why they do that, put a specific amount of space under /sdcard and use /external_sd and such there...(meaning, /sdcard is not an sd card......?) (whirred:))

In the process I lost CWM it seems. I did a wipe with the stock recovery but no luck there... Also done the factory reset thing and such ...nada...files stay put :p (old ""hidden"" (.xxxx) directories, data files of e.g. as mentioned, whatsapp...etc).

(Odd you know ...paranoid me, making backups all over, not testing them (how good is a backup then ? :p) then you want to get rid of stuff you want to save ....well...!@#@$ :p)

Yes, that's to be expected. Stock recovery won't wipe internal sd, neither will a factory reset. Have a look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2270959

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vorphs:
Hello,

I have a rooted One with PA on it. Tried to update to the last version of PA and the phone kept restarting (entered the ROM, and restarted after 30sec of so). Flashed gapps, boot.img, wiped cache still the same. After this i flashed [Kernel](002) One-M7 (UV/Intelliplug/dfsync/FauxSound/s2w/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) even though i did not knew what I was doing and now, the phone is stuck at Quietly Brilliant....I cannot do anything to it, and pressing POW+VOL DOWN does nothing...Is there anything else I can do?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XSafire:
I figure I'd start a thread to ask this. I went to a concert recently and was excited to see how the hdr mic performs. I was running CM10.1 at the time and unfortunately my recordings turned out like crap.

Here's how it's supposed to sound compared to how mine sounded.

Normal

[YOUTUBE]SaL87kEqZ4Y[/YOUTUBE]

Mine (don't judge my music haha)

[YOUTUBE]mbirgDRzES4[/YOUTUBE]

This was my only video to screw up the video like that, but all my videos have screwed up audio

So yeah it's obvious CM10.1 isn't recording audio correctly (at least since the 6/28 nightly, which was used when this was recorded)

I'm curious to know if the Play Store Edition mic behaves properly. Also, is it possible for this to be fixed in future AOSP-based ROM's or is it something like the ImageSense chip that needs Sense to work?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apoxx:
Are we even sure the play store edition will have the HDR mic at all?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XSafire:
Based on this I'd hope so, but it's not gaurenteed. Nokia never secured an injunction, but HTC does mention transitioning to other mic technology once their current stock is exhausted. I guess it all depends on if Google is receiving hardware right off the press or if they just flash a ROM over the same hardware we're using. All the review sites mention that the Google Edition and the stock phone have exactly the same hardware.

Can someone who's running a google edition ROM upload a video of live music or something similar?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devinthomas:
The difference is obvious even in normal video situations using the Google Play Edition. The HDR/dual membrane microphone is the tiny one on the back above the camera. I've tested the GPE camera with the new installable Sense camera and spoke into it both times, while also speaking directly into the microphone by the USB port.

On the Google Play Edition camera there is no sound being captured by the rear microphone, while on the Sense camera the rear mic was the clearest AND loudest. Using both cameras speaking into the bottom microphone by the USB sounded the exact same, maybe a touch clearer with Sense filtering out background noise using the rear microphone.

Most apps I've used (Evernote, Google Keep, etc.) only take audio notes with the terrible bottom microphone on Google Play Edition, but I have not tested them with Sense.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XSafire:
I can confirm that the top mic isn't picking up any sound. Hmm, I wonder if it's as simple as turning the mic on.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8skilz:
I wanted to chime in and say I went to a Tool concert last night and the audio came out similar to the OP running CM10.1 (it was terrible). I have the HTC ONE running Android Revolution GPE 6.1 ROM (my phone is originally the non GPE edition).

I am going to flash the Android Revolution Sense ROM and see if that makes a difference.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elite83:
It should make a difference, the HTC camera app is designed to use both mics for clear audio. I did this test myself and it worked.

To get LTE icon back all you need to do is delete feature.xml in csc folder. Using rootexplorer navigate to system, csc folder and look for feature.xml and delete it.
