you know everyone has asked questions at one point or another and that goes for devs as well, if not then they wouldn't be devs period,they would , just sit back and wait for someone else to create roms for htc vivid,htc amaze,samsung, etc,so please give the guy a break
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] uniacidz:
I'm new to using these roms also and quite frankly agree with the OP in asking.

Some of the threads are messed up and crazy that just simply asking for ppls opinions as a whole is better with having civil and constructive answers.

But good to see that there are keyboard warriors in these forums as well.

I took to rooting/flashing a little different. My Vivid was my first smartphone ever (2nd phone period), but I had it unlocked, s-off'd, flashed a recovery and was running a custom ROM within 1 hour of un-packaging it. This was before any toolkit existed. I took a chance and learned by doing things. Over the last 2yrs I've read more on this forum than any normal person should, and yet still when I have a question, I either read some more or just say to hell with it and go for it and find out for myself. Modern phones are near impossible to brick but I will admit that although I never had to use it, the first thing I downloaded was the stock RUU. Always have a fallback and just bite the bullet. If you don't like the ROM, let the dev know your issues or research a new one. But most importantly, have fun with it! :good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiboby:
Hey guys, I've gotten myself into a pickle. Several weeks ago I posted because my phone was always showing as charging even when unplugged. A member posted that my port is probably bad, but that I could replace. He pm-ed me the info about what part I needed to buy and a link to a video by le55on on how to replace it. I ordered and followed the video to replace it. However, my reception was noticeably worse. I was getting edge signals where I used to get H+. I seemed to only be able to get H or H+ when I was looking at a cell repeater tower.

I double and triple checked my installation according to the video, and, as far as I can tell, I have installed everything right. I asked the member but he never responded. I searched on Google and found people with similar situations with other phones. They used GetRIL and it fixed the problem. So I did this, which was a mistake. It didn't make my signal any better, it may have even made it worse.

Worse yet, my battery life has gone down since doing this. I get about 1-1.5 hour less screen on time without changing my usage. I know it is not the battery going bad because a few months prior I bought two new Anker batteries. I've tested with both of these (which have 1900mah) and the stock battery, and the battery life has fallen on all three batteries.

I'm wondering what I can do to fix this whole problem. My ideal would be to get the H and H+ signals in the same places I used to, and get my battery life back. However, whatever you can give me to fix either problem is greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Never use getril for starter's. Did you install the right model's usb port? There are different ones for different models. And what rom are you on. If its stock rom then you can flash modem and ril but if your on custom aokp/cm roms then only flash modem. One last thing. Do you have a copy of your efs folder. Use ktool to bk it up before you start flashing modem's mate. Better to have a cooy if this first.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiboby:
Yeah, I learned the hard way. I'm using root box, which is AOKP based. I think I have an efs back up from when I first rooted my phone. I can check my pc tonight or tomorrow. I know I have a copy of the stock rom that I made after I rooted but before I flashed a custom ROM. If I flash a stock ROM would there be a way to fix it and then go back to root box?

I should have also mentioned in the OP that I also tried using the radio cleaner script prior to posting here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Imei is not that much of a problem. If you dont have a bkup take it to a local shop and they will fix it pretty cheap. You can try the nandroid first if you dont have a bk up.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiboby:
Ok, I'll try the reinstall of the stock back up tomorrow. Wish me luck!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiboby:
Ok, so the good news is that I have what I believe is a nandroid backup (I'm attaching a screen shot of what I have) of the original stock ROM from the factory. I also have an EFS tar on my phone's SD card from October 1, 2012 (the day after the back up was made). I don't want to mess anything up further, so I wanted to check what I should with you before I do anything else. If you could help a nervous semi-newb out, I would be very grateful.:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Restore the nandroid bk up. Or

Flash the efs tar with odin.

I dont see a screen shot mate.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiboby:
sorry, I forgot to attach it. My bad.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
I dont see a preload so that probably won't work. What firmware was you on at the time. Flash you're efs tar with odin and pray or just take it to a local shop for repair.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiboby:
So I've been looking for a tutorial on how to flash efs through odin, but I'm not coming up with it. When I originally rooted my phone, I used this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2365701&highlight=flash+odin. I'm also attaching a screen shot of all the efs backups I have. At the time, I was using ics (4.0.3 i believe) that was the european over the air update.

I know I'm being annoyingly careful, I just don't want to mess anything up any more than it already is. Thanks for you help!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Thats make sense now ics has no preload. Restore nandroid.

--------------

alliances+siyah
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiboby:
Before I do that, I did some checking. Lots of the stuff I saw about the efs restore had to do with the IMEI. Mine is exactly what it says on the phone sticker under the battery and what it says on the phone box.

The original board with the fault USB was

Rev2.3

R.C42 14

The new board is

Rev2.3

R.C90 40

could this be the problem? Should I try to find a board with the same numbers if possible?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Yes your right. Don't bother with the nandroid mate.

You did. But both said I9100 REV2.3. I thought the other line was just a production run or something. It looks like it might be hard to track down that specific board :(

Did you try cleaning you're old port before you removed it. Doing that a lot of people had the same problem cured it by doing that

Hi

Sorry my first post is a cry for help.

So I'm trying to install CyanogenMod Android for Samsung Galaxy S II ("i9100") using the following guide http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9100. But each time I put the phone into recovery mode I get the following:

Odin Mode

Product Name: GT-i9100

Custom Binary Download: Yes (2 counts)

Currently Binary: Samsung Official

So I'm unable to install ClockworkMod

My Kernel Version is 3.0.31 - 1069234 dpi@DELL237 #3 SMP PREEMPT Tue Mar 19 19:18:54 KST 2013

I've previously rooted by using this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125282 and its worked fine I was even able to install another ROM something a little closer to the Stock.

Odin is able to see my phone when its in normal mode but unable to see it in recovery mode.

So currently I'm extremely stuck and have exhausted all my googling skills.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
To get to recovery its holed vol up home button and then power holed all three till it boots to recovery. Download mode it vol down home and power. Odin doesn't see recovery

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
Andrew is correct, you're in download when you think you're in recovery. It says Odin mode... That's download.

As already stated, use the volume up key, not down to get recovery mode.

Hi

Thank you for the replies already, I can get my phone into recovery mode but Odin and heimdall are unable to see the phone (tried this on multiple computers). I can also get my phone into download mode (Vol up + home + power) but each time I try to install the ROM it fails, but this is not using Clockwork to install. I've tried to get it into fastboot (vol up + vol down + power) but the phone just boots up, I was hoping I could revert my recovery mode.

So currently the phone is stuck with this ROM unable to flash Clockwork and unable to install CM.

Any ideas?

Thank you

Edit: It appears in my haze of typing this last night I got mixed up between recovery and download. So Odin and heimdall are unable to see the phone in download mode (I press vol down + home + power)

Make sure usb debugging in on in phone settings. When you have it working with odin flash philz tar not zip kernel as that will give you root and custom cwm recovery.
