[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxy Ace 2 User:
Hi guys,

Can someone please help?

The other day i followed cnet guide to rooting whilst running gingerbread.

Here : [I can't post links yet]

This worked fine.

I ran kies air today and it said there was a firmware upgrade.. so i let kies do its business and it now has Jellybean on it.

But i noticed the root access had been lost again.

So I followed Cnets guide again, but something has gone wrong >.>

It no longer will boot up and is stuck on "samsung galaxy ace 2 gt-i8160" splash screen.

Volume down + home + power still works.. but...

I can't get into recovery mode (vol up + home + power).. so i can't complete the final step installing "update_su.zip"

Have i bricked the phone? Damnit.. knew i should have left well alone..

Please help.. I'm new to all these smart phones and rooting >.>

Thank you

Blegh.. now I see what I have done wrong

Used the wrong file...

Ok so im following instructions on Update Galaxy Ace 2 with Official I8160XXMF1 Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean [GUIDE] over on ibtimes

Downloaded the file.. got phone in download mode trying that now.. fingers crossed..
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxy Ace 2 User:
Ok.. that seems to have worked.. but JB still seems laggy compared to GB.. maybe i just need to factory reset and get rif of half the crap.. I don't know what is slowing the phone down.. and I also noticed JB gives less total memory compared to GB.. Is this normal? GB had 555MB now its 482 MB?! hmmm..
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinhead97:
I recommend getting a ROM, theu would make the phpne go faster and remove half the bloatware, if you like the Samsung touchwiz look use kyrillos ROM or lite ROM etc, however if you like the aosp look go for a unofficial cyanogenmod ROM, for the ram thing follow this:

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tys0n:
Ok. I suggest you download the latest official firmware for your phone. The fw you got now must be pretty old. Around October last year.

This one is from Wed, 10 Jul 2013. I8190LUBAMG2_I8190LTCEAMG1_TCE.zip

Upload a file named modem.bin and paste a link here I'll make a flashable zip for you.

Edit:

Nevermind, did it myself.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beckmxx:
Im gonna try to flash the modem... i think the problem is that the stock rom is the one provided by the cell phone company and i assume it has some king of protection, and that's why no matter what modem i try to flash, baseband doesn't change.

BTW the roms in "samsung updates live" and "sammobile" for Mexico "ubamg2 tce" are the one's used by the cell phone company.

UPDATE: I flashed a moden.bin via odin, the baseband didn't change, i try to flash via CWM the modem you left, and the baseband changed for about 3 minutes "ubamg2", then it returned tu normal "ubalj7".
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benzonat0r:
Ok, that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. :D

I'd try formatting mmcblk0p16 and flashing modem again as a last resort.

Anyone else use Waze on their One? I do and it's a miserable experience. It crashes repeatedly, rendering it unusable.

Uninstalled, cleared cash, reinstalled, you name it, etc. Non-rooted stock HTC One (TMo).

It's quite terrible.

The irony is it runs flawlessly on my N7 (2013) and of course on my work iPhone 5. The One is a crashfest.

The reason I posted it here it's because I'm not sure if it's something to do with HTC Sense. Thanks

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] vijay555:
I did a post somewhere on the board showing you ebay links and methods.

I've got one without the stk app, so you have to go to flight mode off, then on, to switch, but cutting the sim cards, although risky, can be done successfully, as I've done it with an O2 contract and orange PAYG.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] AdmiralAK:
did people actually slice up their SIMs ??? :shock:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Killbillprime:
Hi guys go mine and it works atreat now :D , bought it from ebay

Not going to lie to you, the product is made from poor :twisted: quality but from £3. I get my money worth, and it does the job the ways i can switch are either by doing a soft rest or by puting the phone into flightmode and then back to normal phone mode, , iv addedsomepics for your benifit. :arrow:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] vijay555:
Guys, I've got a magician and I sliced and diced my cards fine.

Had troubles getting the Magician to register the sims, but that was because of it not providing enough pressure on the back of the SIM (stick some paper into the metal sleave to correct this).

This is the ebay link for the one I bought:

Look for "UNIVERSAL DUAL SIM **SHIPPED FROM THE UK**". I cost me about £3. The card is fine, the guy was ok, but shipping was steep from London (ie P&P is hiked up, but overall can't complain).

It works, but there is another one out with an "STK" menu built in to switch cards by going into the SimToolKit program. However, it's easy enough to go to flight mode and back quickly enough to switch. I read that this one drains battery faster. No comment on that. It worked for me.

So: SLICING DOES WORK. But, do it carefully. I've posted about 10 times on this - do it carefully, ensure you remove the transparent guide sticker after the cutting, and check it in a nokia or another phone before putting it in the Magician, to convince yourself you've done the slicing correctly

That ebay guy will also "stamp cut" the cards for you for free if you post them to him.

Good luck!

No, it's not possible to have two sims working simultaneously. Best we can hope for is 2 lines per sim, like Orange's Line2 service.

There are some cards that are 16in1 card copiers etc. these don't work in the UK, and will fubar your SIM when trying to crack the encryption. Be warned :)

2sims working at once in a pda,, i know mate :( but let me keep on hoping ;) lol :P
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] nforsans:
what about the data settings then?

sounds great, I am tempted to go for it, but do you have to re-enter the GPRS settings each time you switch from a sim card to another? Since say, O2 and orange don't use the same proxy servers to connect to the web via GPRS, I guess the right proxy details must be entered after each switch. Am I wrong? Can you connect to O2 mobile web using your o2 sim card, then switch to your orange sim and connect to orange world without making any change to the connections details?

Cheers
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] vijay555:
I think you will have to reenter the details each time.

However, if you're in the UK, there are cabs available on the board, or from Buymobilephones.net, with all the settings in one file.

So, switch to o2, click the cab and you're running. And likewise with Orange etc.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Koksie:
You can create all different accounts in the network section and just choose the right one you want to use. I have one SIM now, but several accounts for GPRS usage, MMS, dial-up connections etc. I just select the one I want to use in Settings-Connections-Advanced-Select Networks. The only problems that could exist are with sms and voice mail accounts, but I think these are stored in the network in combination with your sim card, so these should be ok as well.

I've got two Bluetooth speakers (Jambox and a Rocketfish), Bluetooth ear buds (plantronics), and a UConnect system in my car stereo and the volume of my Note is way too low on all of them despite me having the volume turned all the way up and using the Volume+ app (this app helps a bit, but still too low in my opinion).

Hello, I really need help, I was using system/app mover to move apps from normal to system apps so that they are considered as system , and would be there when I factory reset. This app works in both ways, it changes apps to system apps and vice versa, now I was clicking on the app to change to system , then they ask do you want to reboot , if you press no, the order of the list will change. If you press on the call app foe example, the one bellow it is selected , and doing it fast I didnt recognize that , only before I changed the messaging app, nfc service, something related to camera, notification bar , and maybe more that I didnt see yet. The problem is that these apps are removed from the phone permanently, they are no longer on the list, installed as normal apps, or even in the system folder, or apps folder. I need someone to attach all the apps in his phone under system/apps , so I can paste them there, please help. For faster ask&answer consider contacting me on my email : y.a.h.i.a.n.a.j.a@gmail.com

Just reflash the ROM, or use your nandroid backup, and don't make the same mistake next time.

Much quicker than waiting for someone to upload all their apps for you.

"Be prepared to fix your own mistakes."
[LG Optimus 4X HD] penguin449:
You should advise daily/regular backups, and before messing about with anything that requires root and modifies your phone take a backup, backups are your best friend in the android world, however if your boot loader is still locked and you can't reflash a ROM or even have recovery flashed, head down to the Themes and Apps and I remember (I think) seeing a system dump for stock 4.1.2, go there and you should find everything you need :D

Well, here we go.

First of all, I'm hardly new to the world of ADB. I've got a Nexus 7 and a Kindle Fire. I've set up ADB successfully on those devices (even though The Kindle Fire was a pain). Hoiwever, I'm completely flummoxed by the NookHD+. I'm running Windows 8 x64, I've disabled Driver Signature Enforcement (twice, to be on the safe side), followed the steps on the Nook Developers website to the letter, but keep hitting a dead end. I've verified I've got the correct drivers (downloaded from the Nook Developers site), I've got Android SDK installed, I've verified the Vendor ID as 0X2080 in the adb_usb.ini file, and even have the Nook SDK installed. Hoiwever, when ever I try to update the drivers in Device Manager, it displays "MyNOOK," and if I try to update the driver, I receive the following message:

"The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work for Windows with x64-based systems."

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, rebooted my system multiple times, disconnected and reconnected my device, tried different cables and ports, and still, nothing.

I don't know if I can help but I did succeed in installing the driver in win 8 x64. I got the B&N driver zip file from leapinlar's tips thread and followed the instructions from the B&N site. Nothing deviated much from their instructions except that I had to view hidden drivers in the windows device manager before I found "Other devices" and when I updated the driver I had to identify it as a Portable Device. I didn't connect the cable until the driver was installed. I do have certain developer options enabled on the Nook itself. I had previously gotten wireless adb working. For adb itself I needed to extract files from the most current Android SDK (leapinlar's older versions didn't work, at least not with CM 10.2).

BTW, I am totally new to adb.

Edit: Also, mine didn't say MyNOOK anywhere. It showed the device name in device manager, something like BN Nook HD+.
