[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
No you should install cwm latest first. As for it won't boot any more... try pulling the battery out and then hold download combo keys down and put the battery bk in. May boot you're phone and defo worth a try.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wulsic:
sorry for late response but yeah i forgot that in these 4.4 roms that was disabled if i have time i wil check or i can change it that it wil work on every recovery
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rotofast:
Tried everything it won't boot
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rotofast:
My phone won't start anymore so i think its too late.

but i'll try to get it boot up tommorow.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Have you got a jig. Does it get hot around the camera?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rotofast:
Don't know but i've had this problem before when my phone worked fine.

After half a day i tried to charge it and when i put the micro-usb in it i saw the battery logo for 1 sec and it disappeared.

after a day i tried to charge it again and it worked.

so i tried to charge it an hour ago and i saw the battery logo for a sec so it will maybe boot again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rotofast:
I think something is wrong with my battery i also wanted to replace the battery cause it runs out fast.

Oh and what do i do after it boots? Go in download mode and flash something with odin?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Could well be a bad battery. Best bet is take it to a shop and test a battery but saying that if it runs out of charge quickly then battery will be on its way out. Yes flash stock with Odin then reroot ect ect. When you test the battery don't buy it right away just incase you end up wasting money on a dead phone. Check and make sure it works first then buy it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rotofast:
haha that was exactly what i was planning on to do. btw there are a lot of different stock kernels which one do i need to flash?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
For stock kernel with root and cwm you can't really beat Philz. Get the zip and put it on ext SD and flash it as the update in stock recovery 3e.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rotofast:
Ok but the only problem is that i dont have a external sd card but i can buy one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
You can use Odin to flash this. You can get either zip or tar file of this kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s3mtex:
I am new on i9100 but I think that phillz and siyah kernel is designed for 4.1 not 4.4 android.

My best advice is to flash a stock rom and after you have the certitude that all are ok you can make an efs backup and then follow an XDA instructions to flash a 4.4 ROM. Read all posts from the thread of the rom that you what to install.

My think is that you need a full battery to flash. A new battery is not relevant in your case because the new battery can be empty and it will not charge during the kernel problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Philz is cmw 6.0.2.9 which is needed to flash 4.4

once the rom has flashed the kernel and cwm will be replaced with what come with said rom. So what I would do is test battery first. If it boots up into download mode I'd flash Philz with Odin then enter recovery full format of system and data and preload and cache and flash 4.4 +gapps and reboot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rotofast:
But how am i gonna start my phone if i cant charge it. I can atleast try to put a new battery in and see if that works.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cortex69:
Have you tried bending your usb port a bit downwards ? It may sound stupid but I have had the situation when phone would go directly to download mode and reboot to charging again (even disconnected) and I had no clue how to fix it. I came across the idea to clean usb port and bend it down a bit and wow, it worked:)

Thanks to that I was able to get cm installed, just unhappy coincidence ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rotofast:
I tried but it didn't work. I have two options: 1. go to a shop and look if a new battery works 2. buy a external battery charger. charge the battery and put it back in my phone maybe that will work
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s3mtex:
That is very correct. This is the right procedure to follow.

3. Find a friend with a same phone and borrow his battery or charge yours in his phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rotofast:
I went to the shop today but they didn't have a battery for the samsung galaxy s2. but its funny that you suggested to find a friend with the same phone cause a good friend of mine has the same phone so i will switch the battery tommorow. hope it works
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
So do we mate. Keep in touch and update us :thumbup:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rotofast:
Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aleasto:
It would be better if you flash a CM KitKat ROM using the CM10.2 Kernel. You can download it from here: mediafire (.com) /download/ka8qv3l5x9vu49h/kernel-cm-10.2-20131112-i9100-signed.zip (sorry I can't put links!)

Just put it on a micro SD card, flash any CWM recovery from odin, and from the recovery flash that kernel. After that reboot the recovery and flash the ROM!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rotofast:
Im very happy cause when i switched the battery and tried to boot it up it worked so i ordered a external battery charger and a new battery and i think its ships tommorow and then i can unbrick my phone so im very happy until now. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rotofast:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mayank06199:
So I have downloaded a game called trainz, which requires me to download 300+ MB data. I have a samsung galaxy young s6312. I have downloaded the game with the data on this mobile. Recently I got a note 2. I want to play this game on my note 2. But i don't want to download the data all over again. Is there a solution by which I can copy the data folder from my old device to my new one?

P. S I already tried copying the com.nv3games.trainz folder (size 318 mb) from my old device to the obb folder of my new device, which didn't work. I also tried copying it to the data folder of my new device, which also didn't work. The Game was still asking me to download the data. Both devices are rooted, so any solution which requires root will be ok.

Thanks..

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] magnotrans:
Hi everybody,

I'm new in this forum and decided to read all information to upgrade my Xperia Neo HD (MT15i) to the last Android ICS 4.0.4; after several days reading about rooting, unlocking bootloaders, custom ROMs and so on, I thouht I wasn't too confident to root my mobile, so I decided to upgrade to an offcial Sony release. I follow some step-by-step instructions found at SonyMobile forums and everything was APPARENTLY ok.

I restored my backup, my contacts and everything was faster than before (before upgrading I used Android 2.3.4) EXCEPT FOR wifi connection: each time I enable wifi to connect to my router, the wifi connection restarts forever in a loop. The sympthoms are:

* I type the WPA2 password in my mobile (the router is using WPA2-PSK TKIP, but I doesn't work in AES either)

* The mobile begins connecting but it stops at getting new IP address

* The connection process resumes and starts over

* Sometimes, after not getting a IP, it stops and says: "Error autenticating"

I read Android 4.0.2 had this problem with wifi, but it was solved in 4.0.4.

Is there any solutions to this problem? I prefer installing an Sony's official firmware since I don't feel confident yet about all the process in rooting and/or unlocking the mobile.

Kind regards!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] magnotrans:
Ok, I reply to myself: the WPA2 passphrase must be 8 * n characters length! My old passphrase was 25 characters long and it always worked in two laptops, one Wii, one iPad, one iPhone, one Minix NeoX7 android PC and my Xperia Neo. But after upgrading Xperia Neo to Android 4.0.4, I have had to change the passphrase to 16 length long in order for the Xperia to connect to the WiFi. I have checked if it works with 8 and 24 characters long passphrase and indeed it works.

I also configured WPA2 as an "Open Authentication System".

Hope this help to somebody.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] unctucker:
O.K. Since I have just purchased my One. I was wondering what is the best and easiest way to gain access to root. I know there are a lot of people on he that have put a lot of work into ways to root,roms and other goodies. I just don't want to screw up my new phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zeropally:
There's only 2 ways. Send it to sonic for java card or use rumrunner. Either way is no worries about breaking it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
Your best option, and really your only one, outside of shipping your phone out to get java card S-OFF.

we now have a software S-OFF process.

It's called "rumrunner" link here

although I sent mine out to Sonic before this process was released, so I am yet to use it, but it looks very easy.

after this, ADB push a recovery, flash a ROM and you are rooted and ROMmed.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] HypostaticOnion:

Download your recovery from the Verizon HTC One Original Development section.

Not from ROM Manager.

It needs to be for the m7vzw.

Flash it in fastboot.

Then flash superuser in recovery or flash an already rooted ROM.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] unctucker:
Santod......what's going on. I remember you from the Thunderbolt. Good to see you on a forum again. Hope all is well. I can not figure out why in having these problems. Once I finished rumrunner. It said enjoy the rum, click enter to exit. But during the loading sequence it said device not connected and clearly it was. I tried repeating my steps but came up with the same results. I know I have an unlocked downloader and I have s-off.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] unctucker:
How do I go about flashing in fastboot? Do as Tyler suggested?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
From your fast boot/adb directory:

Fastboot flash recovery nameoffile.img

Grab either twrp or cwm from flyhalfs threads in original Vzw dev.

I'm doing well, good to see familiar folks. :)

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] unctucker:
I do have adb installed. I just downloaded the installer and it says ABD allready installed.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] calash:
There is a lot of info in the rumrunner thread, you should give it a good read before starting as it will prepare you for any possible issues

That being said you really need to have two things before starting Rumrunner:

1 - HTC Drivers installed

2 - Working Fastboot environment.

For the drivers I got mine from here :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2217396

I used the 6.6.13 update and the drivers only. You only need to do this if you did not follow the advice previously and put in the HTC Sync application, then remove it only and leave the drivers, or if you want to be sure you have the drivers in.

Second is a working ADB/Fastboot enviroment. This link has a nice package that seems to work well:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

I did not do this myself, I already had one setup, but you want to end up with some directory on your computer that has both ADB and Fastboot in it.

Before beginning Rumrunner you should test the ADB connection. This will confirm if the drivers are installed. Also, on Windows 7, keep an eye on the notification area. For my setup it took several minutes for the drivers to connect the first time.

Also make sure to run as administrator if you have User Account Control enabled.

If you have Windows 8 or USB 3.0 you will want to do some additional research as well. They both have some additional steps to get things running smooth.

Final note: Disable your screen lock on the device before beginning and reboot your computer before starting. Virusscan can be an issue so make sure it is disabled as well.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] unctucker:
I have installed minimal adb and fast boot. The cmd screen comes up and I enter the information for my recovery of choice. Question is..... I went to the htc original forum and downloaded twrp from there. It is sitting on my desktop. Where do I put that file?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] unctucker:
I have windows 7.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] unctucker:
How do you test the ADB connection?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
plug in your phone, and try the command: adb devices

best way to open a command prompt?

go to the folder with all the files, (adb, fastboot, etc) and at the top bar, like theon in a browser, type in: cmd - then press enter and it'll open from that folder.

much faster, and easier than have to "cd" to the folder, IMHO
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Put the file in the same directory as adb and fastboot.

You need to put the device in hboot > fast boot mode.

Then do the command I mentioned above.

Adb won't work in fast boot mode. No point in testing it right now.

You can check fast boot by doing fastboot devices
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] unctucker:
It says. daemon not running. Starting it now on port 5037*

I am ROOTED. Thanks for all you guys help. WTF man. Guess this goes to show read read read. Although I did have ADB I don't know what happened with my rumrunner install. Anyway ...... Thanks again. If any of you are close to Raleigh or Greensboro I'll buy the beers.
