[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Brooklynnn:
I tried rooting my Virgin Mobile SPH L710, running android 4.3. My firmware upgrade was interrupted somehow and asked to connect to Kies. I did not know what to do so I downloaded a ROM off of the internet and flashed it using Odin. It changed my service provider to Sprint and I have no Virgin Mobile stuff. I'm wondering if there is a way to either reset everything on my phone to Virgin Mobile or a clean stock ROM to flash. Thanks for all of your help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheD1strictMan:
The reason this is happening to you is because your phone doesn't have a build of cyanogenmood for it. I have The VM GS3 as well and it says the same thing. Basically the way VM works is it pays sprint to use their coverage. So when you install a sprint rom in your phone if doesn't mean that your phone won't work, it just means it's going to think VM is sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyhdownsouth:
You can run Sprint ROMs only after changing some assert lines to show your baseband for Virgin Mobile.

Hey guys,

My friend did a factory reset on her I9100G with stock rom and no root, android 2.3 device.

But after rebooting, something went wrong, the android didn't load and the picture above is the condition when she is turning on the device.

We tried every steps mentioned on websites.

I assume that the android is removed from the device. I don't know what's wrong.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivek_Neel:
Hmm

Try to flash stock rom for your device via odin
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asus_boy:
Thank you for the reply Vivek,

Would you please help me to find the latest "official" rom from Samsung for I9100G ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VannM:
if you want stock rom, get it at Sammobile

if you want custom rom, of course the above option still needed

you need to sign in sammobile (its worth the trouble btw) and select your S2 and country
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asus_boy:
Thank you very much,

How hard is it to install cyanogenmod 11? I saw you are using it in your signature.

Also, I heard that it's difficult to install Cmod on G series which have a different chips.

Can I flash it with odin?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VannM:
ok, your phone is i9100G right?

in my experience, its not that hard if you follow every steps and know(a little) what are you doing

and if flashed custom rom using odin, the binary counter will increase + if you are frequent to flashing your USB (pc/phone) will wore out since connect and disconnecting the cable...there is easier way
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asus_boy:
Thanks

I will search about it, but the problem is, the phone is not mine, and I should do everything remote. That's why.

Thanks after all
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VannM:
i better post how to flash easily since this is a forum anyway...

before that you will need;

-stock rom 4.1.2 (the latest is better)

-your desired custom rom

-GApps (latest is better)

-Blazing kernel v16 (flash custom rom with out using Odin thus will not increase Binary counter)

-backup your phone (if there's any important data/file)

how to flash;

-make sure you are on latest stock rom, if not like the OP, flash the latest stock rom using Odin;

*reboot your phone in Download Mode

*open Odin and in PDA option select your stock rom and then Start

*if done it will display Done and disconnect your phone, it will boot up

*if bootloop, reboot into Recovery Mode, and then wipe data and cache, and then reboot normally

-after updating your phone to latest stock rom, copy your custom rom, GApps, and Blazing kernel into external SD card, then reboot into Recovery Mode

-choose "apply update from external storage" and choose Blazing kernel, wait for it to finish update

-reboot normally, and then reboot back to Recovery Mode. this time you will notice that your recovery is different from the previous one

-select install zip > choose from external storage/sdcard 1 > and then choose your custom rom. then wait for it to finish update

-repeat the above step to install GApps, and after that reboot normally

-if bootloop, reboot back to Recovery Mode and then wipe data, cache and dalvik and then reboot

-done, now you are running on custom rom

I really appreciate that Vannm, I will take the phone here and do these steps you said.

I upgraded from ARHD 31.6 to 51 and I noticed that whenever I have the screen on, it shows in battery history that the awake part stays on for the exact amount I have the screen on. I tried Insertcoin to see if it was a ROM problem but had the same thing. I don't see any problems with battery drainage yet, but curious if anyone else had or has this problem or is it just a bug.

I just realized I forgot to mention that FiiO X5 will be available on Amazon US sometime in March. I will post an update with an exact date once I know for sure, but it's definitely should happen next month. X5 has been released in China already as part of a first batch to make sure everything is working OK. It's a very smart move because if they find an issue with a first production run, it's easier to recall and to service it locally versus dealing with this internationally. So far it looks like everything has been running smoothly, and the next batch of releases going to be in EU and then US.

How is the gapless playback quality (seeing the feature to turn it on or off)?

How long does the player take to build its internal database or can the player be used strictly as a file browser?
[General Accessories] Goodtill:
How is the noise level with sensitive IEM's? I have a set of Westone W4R that are pretty sensitive and do not want to hear any hiss.
[General Accessories] vectron:
To be honest my audio collection is mostly EDM/dance tracks, and I noticed most of the songs in my library have a short blank space at the end, so gapless on/off won't be noticeable. But I'm paying very close attention to head-fi posts and I remember some mentioned that it wasn't as smooth yet, but the next firmware update will take care of that.

With building of internal database - it was super fast (dual core processor!), though I don't have as many songs loaded; and you get an option of auto or manual, where in manual you can use it as a file browser. That's how I have it set by default, and use a wheel to scroll through the songs.
[General Accessories] vectron:
What is your audio source when listening with W4R? A lot of the hiss and other artifacts of noise floor come from noisy electronic components in your your phone or laptop (not a proper isolation and filtering of power supply). But regardless of that, I can reassure that I'm using X5 with W40 and there is not even a hint of hiss.

W40 cable

Hi Everybody,

it's my first post here.

I already ordered the Westone W40 and it seems that we have in future the same setting of mobile hifi.

The X5 should be also fit perfect for my use case. Need a DAC for work to avoiding crappy motherboard sound chip and also need a very good DAP for fair price.

My question now, because this looks for me very elegant, where did you get the alternate cable for the W40?
[General Accessories] vectron:
I'm using FiiO's RC-SE1 replacement cable: http://www.amazon.com/FiiO-RC-SE1-Shure-Replacement-Cable/dp/B00DB41AOW/ - the mini coax plug is universal with all Shure SE series headphones, UE900, and all the new Westone headphones. The sound difference is noticeable (http://www.fiio.com.cn/products/index.aspx?ID=100000042227825&MenuID=105026014).

I've been using X5 a lot lately. Don't even touch my Note 2 for music playing. It's really cool how you can tag a bunch of songs to add to your Fav list and it only plays that list (select from the menu of Fav songs) where you can use a scroll wheel to cycle through it. Or you can play by file browsing where once you select a directory (either artist album or your own custom list directory) and it only plays files from there with a same wheel song scrolling exclusive to that list. Now, with Sandisk introduction of 128GB card and FiiO soon to be firmware update to support it, you will be able to have 256GB of storage, and with a same firmware update will be able to support OTG to connect external thumb drive or external hard drive.

Also, for initial release, the stability of this firmware and UI is very impressive. I heard/read a lot of horror stories about iBasso D50 initial release and how long it took them to fix the firmware. Here, FiiO started from scratch and delivered and solid release.
[General Accessories] guerilla666:
Ok that sounds and looks very great for that low price for a cable.

Thanks for the information, that will increase my anticipation for the DAP/DAC and this will underline my opinion about the collected informations i have found through searching in the internet.
[General Accessories] vectron:
A couple more things I learned about X5 as I'm playing more with it. Gapless playback definitely works. I had a few Ministry of Sound FLAC albums where songs mixed in, though split in tracks, and gapless playback worked flawlessly. Furthermore, I really like how you can fast forward through a track, and when you do that the track continues to play at normal speed while the time marker moves to a new position and starts playing as soon as you release fast-forward. Also, when you playing and push'n'hold the middle button, it brings up a volume control which you can adjust with a wheel. So there is no need to use side volume up/down buttons. This is extremely convenient for one hand operation where you can control everything with a thumb. Last but not least, I'm really enjoying physical buttons instead of touch screen controls; feels more precise and you get full visibility of the screen.

For those who are interested, X5 is officially released and shipping worldwide!!!

For US, you can check now: http://miccastore.com/ and also soon to be available on Amazon.

Review of Pelican Case for FiiO X5

I don't have to tell you how much I love my X5. I stopped listening to music from my laptop or my Note 2 or other mp3 players, and it's all good when I'm using X5 at home. But when I want to take it to work or somewhere else on a go, I get paranoid how to pack it. The good news is that soon FiiO will be releasing a series of new X5 accessories, including different cases, but those are not available yet.

For the last month I have been searching high and low to find a storage/transportation case for X5 and couldn't find anything until I came across a series of Micro Cases from Pelican. I'm sure a lot of your are familiar with Pelican cases, but for those who are don't, check out their website: http://www.pelicancases.com/ - they are worldwide known for tough rugged protector cases and shipping containers. Prior to this find, I wasn't aware they make such small cases, down to Micro series. Though I knew the dimensions of X5 and their Micro Series 1020 model (http://www.pelicancases.com/1020-p/1020.htm) to be a perfect fitment, I also got for review 1010 model (http://www.pelicancases.com/1010-p/1010.htm) just to be sure, and as it turned out it was a bit too small but still great for other gear storage (like headphones).

What sets these Pelican cases apart is their extremely durable construction and IP67 rating. These cases are water resistant, dustproof, crushproof, and come with lifetime guarantee. They have an easy open latch, stainless steel hardware, removable rubber lining (which also works as o-ring), and one way air valve. As a bonus it comes with a carabiner, and there are two slots for lanyard attachment. One thing to keep in mind, X5 will be a little loose inside of 1020 case. This allows to add a few of your favorite IEMs and some cables, thus preventing it from moving around. Otherwise, you can add another piece of foam inside, or place X5 facing down toward the rubber lining to protect the screen and the scrolling wheel. Either way for about $15 (for 1020) and $13 (for 1010), it's a fantastic storage/carry option for X5 and your other small music accessories.

Here are the pictures.

Pelican is exactly what I've been using for a long time with my E11+clip+SE215 combo. I even have room for a usb card reader in there. Great cases in all sizes.

[General Accessories] vectron:
Which size do you use? I been told on Head-fi, where I also posted about it, to get Pick'n'Pluck foam kit for a better fitment of X5 to make a custom foam insert. Will have to try it out as well.

Btw, FiiO's next release is X1 which is going to be a slim/cut down version of X5 supporting only 1 microSD card (still fine if you use 128GB) and supporting less formats, like no need for DSD. The most important, it will be around $100 !!!!

After doing a little mini-review of Pelican 1020 case for X5, I was suggested to get Pick'n'Pluck kit. I also got another case with a different color liner, so figured to post a few more pics. Basically, pick'n'pluck kit is perforated sponge material that you can shape for any opening. Since I'm using 1020 with X5, I didn't have to pluck anything and instead using it as a spacer to hold X5 firmly inside. Only $5 : http://www.pelicancases.com/1022-p/1020-400-000.htm

A quick update I got from TekFX/Miccastore.

X5 is finally back in stock and now they updated their order Page with Bundle options: http://www.miccastore.com/fiio-port...c-player-special-bundles-available-p-118.html

where you can add HS stacking kit (for E12) for only $8, or add/purchase E12 in a bundle for $100, as well as adding HS8 silicone skin (red, blue, or yellow) for $3. They also have an option for 64GB Sandisk microSD for $36.

FiiO X5 official accessories

This is a review of FiiO X5 official accessories. http://www.fiio.com.cn/products/index.aspx?ID=100000056988354&MenuID=105026009 - coming in a few days to http://www.miccastore.com/

X5 is one amazing Digital Audio Player, and FiiO was generous enough to include a few basic accessories together with a player. Though a few screen protectors and basic gray silicone case was a good start, now FiiO released an official line of accessories to dress up your X5 in style!

HS8 Silicone rubber case has the same design and quality of material as the included case, but now you have a selection of 4 additional colors, with blue one shown below

HS11 Back Cover is a minimalistic protection for those who don't want to hide a beauty of brushed metal finish and just want to protect the back and the sides of X5 from scratches. It wraps securely around the player, has clear light tinted sides, matte back finish, and a perfect cutout for volume up/down buttons. This back cover leaves top and bottom of X5 open for a full access to all the ports and power button.

HS9 Leather case has a synthetic smooth finish leather on outside and soft micro-fiber material on inside which protects X5 screen, wheel, and top buttons from scratches. Actually it looks like X5 holder inside of this leather case is a Back Cover securely attached to the case. It has a darker tint than stand alone back cover to match the darker color of the "leather". The cover of the leather case wraps around and closes securely with a magnetic strip. One unique feature of this case is an elongated bump inside the case which aligns with a volume buttons opening of the holder. So while being closed, you can push on outside of the case to change the volume or perform functions assigned to volume buttons.

HS7 Carry case is a dual-layer hard protective case with a double zipper and attached carabiner. The hard shell of the case feels secure enough to be placed in a backpack or carry bag or luggage when you are traveling. Also, it will protect your X5 if you want to clip the case to your backpack. Each inner side of the case has a net-woven pocket, and one additional smaller pocket for your SD cards on the right side. The pockets are generous enough to store X5 with a case, and even has a little bit of room for a short cable. This case makes a perfect companion to carry X5 together with a portable AMP like E12.

Hi [MENTION=3996566]vectron[/MENTION], I have a HTC One but I am looking for an affordable DAP for use mainly while commuting and while I am at my desk.

Just wondering a few things, since I have read your reviews on them

1. have you tried fiio x3 and if so how does that compare to x5?

2. is the sound quality on the E18+note2 THAT much better than x3/x5?

3. have you tried any of the competitors in the same price bracket?

Also.. [MENTION=3301438]geko95gek[/MENTION] has recommended me the x3 and I read that a new one is due soon.. do you happen to have any info on that? I saw today the x1 is about ready for a september release

my budget is ~$250. Cheers

Sorry for my noobness. I am a bit new to this DAP stuff. Thanks for the excellent review and pictures :)
[General Accessories] vectron:
I haven't tried X3, but from everything I read it will be inferior to X5. It's probably on par with iBasso DX50, the same $200 price bracket. E18+Note2 is not that significantly better. Personally, I prefer a dedicated DAP for more convenience.

Based on your budget, I assume you are not a hard core audiophile with thousands of Flac files ;) My advice is to wait another month when more X1 details will be available before September release. I probably will get a review unit and will do a comparison to X5 and my other DAPs (AP100 and HM700). The target price of X1 is $100 and you can use the remaining $150 to buy two pairs of decent dynamic IEMs.
[General Accessories] poondog:
Agreed, much more convenient to have a dedicated DAP as opposed to two bug slabs connected to each other.

Nah not hardcore, I have many mp3 and maybe 25% of my music collection is flac. I use Sony MDR1R MK2 which cost me $250

Only issue is the TI DAC as opposed to WOLFSON imo for the x1. And the fact it can't be used as a DAC

Thanks for the expertise
[General Accessories] mustafa505:

Sure, you can use it in self-defense lol!!! Just the scrolling wheel might come off :) Never tried to drop it, but silicone sleeve it comes in is pretty decent for minor drops.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Some of you might be wondering how come I reviewed every single X5 accessory except for HS6 kit.

HS6 kit, http://www.fiio.com.cn/products/index.aspx?ID=100000057644915&MenuID=105026009 which is also available from MICCA Store (http://www.miccastore.com/fiio-hs6-....html?osCsid=1b56a69f6ccd9ef20aa8f5ddf0a9b904) official FiiO distributor in US, is designed for a clean interconnect of X5 to E12 amplifier. Both of these modules have a similar footprint, and it works out perfectly without a need for any sticky/velcro interconnect or use of rubber bands covering the screen and controls of X5. The design is very simple and quite brilliant where you have a slim plastic frame you place on top of X5 and use included pair of rubber bands to attach to the hooks at the corners of that frame. You also get 6 stick-on rubber feet to use as spacers between X5 and amp. But the star of this kit is 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio jumper cable!!!

This cable alone worth every penny of this HS6 kit, which btw is under $15. The cable is made out of top class Japanese made pure PCOCC-A single core copper and braided shielding with silver plated OFC copper. The cable is short enough and for convenience the shielding already has a "memory" bend wire effect. The result? A serious improvement in sound quality in comparison to a regular 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable. It was nice for FiiO guys to include basic black shielded cables with X5 and other amps/dacs, but those are generic cables. Switching to a cable from HS6 kit made a definite improvement in sound quality with additional level of details across entire frequency range.

Though I don't have E12 amp, I just received E11k and been using it with this cable. Also for demonstration of how it works together, I used E18 in my testing. In every case, the sound improvement was evident.

Here are the pictures:

Good day everyone.

Don't worry about the much smaller file size as compared to "stock" firmware, this is only due to a much smaller font file size.

Man, that looks AWESOME!!! I will have to try it out tonight! Did you post it on Head-fi, there was a thread dedicated to custom X5 themes. Btw, is your menu follows the wheel rotation or counterwise? I personally don't like the default menu movement which doesn't align with a wheel. Thus, I was using another theme with a reversed motion.
[General Accessories] theo5388:
It works intuitively. Personally I didn't have a problem with the stock rotation, but this one does work in the opposite direction to that, i.e a scroll to the right goes to the menu item on the right.
