Took me a little while to finally find a copy of the stock firmware. Flashed it, and now the phone boots up and says,

'gaudiuscc_bootimage.jpg' draw failed
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
If you flashed 4.0.4 don't try this, but have you tried booting into recovery to do the wipes?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anchovey707:
It has Clock Work on it, but when I make a selection on the recovery screen it doesn't do anything. It goes to a black screen with the CW logo, where the new menu should be. If I hit the power button again it takes me back to the main menu. I can't even shutdown the phone from the recovery screen.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
If you flashed a stock firmware then it won't have ClockworkMod recovery on it....

It should be Android 3e recovery.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anchovey707:
I don't know why I thought that it still had Clock Work on it. I've got it to the recovery screen, and it won't let me make a selection. It makes it seem like the power button dosen't work, but if it didn't there would be no way to turn it on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
I don't know why that's happening either, but as a workaround you could try installing the correct PhilZ recovery....They come as zip or tar files....so you can use the tar file with odin.

PhilZ is a touch based recovery, so you don't need to rely on using the buttons.

Flash the full stock firmware of your Galaxy S2. Make sure that you wipe the data too. You can get the stock firmware from Sammobile.com. Make sure that you flash the stock kernel too.

Alright, so now the recovery works, even if it wasn't touch enabled. So now I think I'm at the point at which I first tried to root it a while back. I think I installed some wrong firmware. It's the Alltel model (and maybe also the US cellular model), but the AT&T intro plays then freezes. Can I just install a different ROM on it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GhostKiller19:
What is your Model Number? GT-I9100,GT-I9100G, or what?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anchovey707:
SCH-R760
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GhostKiller19:
Then you should flash the firmware that is only for that model number.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anchovey707:
I haven't been able to find it anywhere. Every download link is dead or just not there anymore.

And would I flash it the same way I have with the recovery stuff?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GhostKiller19:
Hmmm dead download links for the Galaxy S2? Sorry but I can't help you if there is no more download link for your stock firmware.

Have you fixed it??

If not have a read of this and see if it helps:- Go to Galaxy SII General forum Find This:- [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII (I9100G/M/P/T VERSION INCLUDED) By Phistachio.

I could not find an exact match of my phone for firmware and in the end went for the country /region and local service provider. I guess I got lucky! Once you get JB or ICS running you can load a recovery like TWRP and then "Progress" to your choice of custom ROMs.

Hello everyone. I am using the Tmobile LG v10. I made a kernel for it and it's running ok but when I open up the stock gallery it crashes.

I tried to pull the last_kmsg.txt but no luck It says there is no file or directory.

Does anyone know how to fix this or know where to look on LG phones if it's other than in the /proc/ folder.

Or does anyone know how to add it to make it start creating the last_kmsg.txt.

Thanks in advance,

Download 3C Toolbox from the Play Store. There are options to debug, look at errors, etc....

Thanks I have that app. I think you were the one to suggest it last time I posted a question :)

Can you tell me where the debug section is I can't find it. I only can find the logs which when I go to last kernel log it says no such file or directory.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Sickness:
That's where it would be....in logs.

So you have issues elsewhere inside your kernel. My suggestion would be to rebuild it again

Can someone on here please confirm 100% if this variant of H962 ie. "N" actually exists as I have seen it advertised on Ebay at a better price than the H961 or even H962 (without the N!).

I am keen to buy it but only if it is dual sim and am wondering if the N is significant in this matter.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] snazzysanoj:
I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II (SGH-I317) which has wifi-hotspot option, but when I try to turn it on for playing multiplayer games with my friends, it asks me to enable mobile data.

So is there any way to turn on the wifi hotspot without the need for enabling mobile data? Any ROM hacks probably?

P.S. The devices is rooted and has custom recovery handy :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
Wifi hotspot is for allowing users to access the Internet through a single data connection. Once hotspotting is enabled, the host phone can't use its wifi capabilities.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] snazzysanoj:
Yes I know that wifi-hotspot disables wifi and so...

But, my question is to enable wifi-hotspot without an internet connection(w/o mobile data) on SGH-I317. So far I can enable wifi-hotspot only after enabling mobile data.

Hi all,

as you may have already seen in the MM threads, I was the person who provided the original files in order to let Niaboc69 create his magic, the MM beta ROM for LB and UB. Props to him for figuring out how to create a zip from my original file.

Anyway, long story short, I've recieved a new beta update on my phone today (thanks Sony!) and I thought it could be easier for everybody to create this thread and post the file for everyone to be able to use it at their own leisure. I have no doubt that we'll soon have a pre rooted MM Rom for everyone.

Just to let people know though, I believe you HAVE to already be on the MM Beta Rom before installing this update, due to the size of it (424Mo).

Anyway, have fun everyone!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] HowDoIVoIP:
Good evening.

I haven't flashed either of my Note IIs since Android 4.1.2. Build # is N7105XXDMG1 and I believe it was teshxx's last stock ROM. The baseband is still T889UVUCMK7.

I never upgraded because I got real nervous when I saw all the problems people were having with "KNOX." Considering where both my Note IIs are right now, would you recommend that I just copy "[ROM] [Resurrection Remix 5.6.5] [6.0.1 Marshmallow]" and Gapps and flash them both in CWM? I guess maybe I should get the latest modem which is "T889UVUCOH4" I believe.

I'm still a little apprehensive because I really like stock stuff but I will settle for Resurrection as long as most of my apps work.

Any advice is welcome and I'm glad I'm still seeing support for the fantastic Note II! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
CWM is outdate and hasn't been upgraded for a long time. TWRP is the recommended recovery for the Note 2.

Some combinations of modems and bootloaders are not compatible with each other and may cause problems in terms of ROM stability, cell reception, etc.

Personally, I would flash the latest stock ROM using Odin to ensure that the phone is running the latest modem and bootloader, flash TWRP, create a nandroid backup, and then flash a custom ROM.

Knox is not a big deal in my opinion since it does not prevent the flashing of custom recoveries or ROMs.

Verizon policy. To say much more is just speculation unless you were a part of that policy making process, or have access to the documentation on the decision.
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeljko1234:
That's really good question. Smartphones are basically PCs and yes could be made without OS and let user to install any compatible OS. Of course, hardware vendors must provide drivers or OS vendor have to make generic ones.

In the previous sentence is hidden answer to your question. Driver/libs are usually closed source and vendors do not wish to provide them as for Windows for example. Many of them not providing for Linux as well. And Android is based on Linux. So in short, business politic (read money) is the answer.

Also, many Android vendors like to modify Android to provide better (usually opposite) user experience, change kernel (should release source according Linux kernel license) and so on.

Android right now is mess, pretty much as Linux with so many distributions. Google is trying to fix that moving core functionality to closed source play service but that makes another problem (notice closed source).

It's been about three weeks since I got my Shield TV. Everything's running as expected except Kodi.

There hasn't been a single day where I used it without crashing for once - more like freezing I had to force stop. But I force stop Kodi once and if it freezes the second time, I have to restart the whole system since force stop is not available...

Bottomline is that Kodi is glitchy af when played around via Nvidia Shiled android TV. Am I the only one with this opinion?

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the.teejster:
I haven't had any problems running Kodi on my Shield TV.

My guess would be that it's not Kodi per se that is causing the freezes and the reboots.. It's likely one of the addons you installed that is the culprit.

Kodi takes a lot of unwarranted crap for 3rd party addons that are not officially supported by them that causes problems for the end user. If all the addons are officially support by the Kodi team then I would goto their site and describe your problem... If not, then start by removing them one at a time to see if the problems persist.

Also, Are you rooted ? Using custom rom ? Using alpha v17 of Kodi ?.. Hard to offer more advise w/o more info.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miamijerry:
You might try a different version of Kodi, I am running 16 with no problems.

Also you can install SPMC as another install of "Kodi", they co-exist without any problems. So you will have two installs to play with, try different setups.

The person who is developing SPMC, uses a NSTV for the development.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burkett375:
SPMC is much better
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumer1:
I agree with burkett375. SPMC is much better. It's actually created by the lead Kodi android developer that has left Kodi. It's more optimized for Android Tv' devices and the latest version 16.2 has integrated voice search for SPMC. http://spmc.semperpax.com/

In general with KODI / SPMC you need to clear you cache and purge packages. Uninstall any addons or repos that not longer work to keep your system clean. I hear some people have issues with kodi downloaded directly from the playstore so it may be a good idea to download from the website and transfer it to your device.

Interesting... I use Kodi pretty much everyday, on many different devices (Windows, Samsung Android tablet, kid's amazon fire tablets, Shield TV, iMac, iPad, MX2 boxes...) and never have any single issue with it. Never force close, never crashes, always plays anything I throw at it. This is I think the most accomplished open source software that exists. I have used it for many years, went through many versions, and absolutely love that piece of software. Just saying "Kodi on Nvidia Shield Android TV sucks" without any detail of what you are trying to do with Kodi when it crashes is an insult to those developers who put so much of their personal time aside for us to freely download and enjoy their work.

Please take a look at this post from their website concerning non-official Kodi addons:

https://kodi.tv/the-piracy-box-sellers-and-youtube-promoters-are-killing-kodi/

For those who have mentioned SPMC, thank you, I never heard of it before!! Being developed by their original Android lead developer seems legit enough for me to test it out!
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumer1:
There's some strife with the lead developer of SPMC and the Kodi foundation. That's why he left but it works to our advantage as he's implementing things the regular version of kodi doesn't have. He left Kodi as he didn't like the direction it's going and those who follow the community know the deal.

As far as third party addons go for the most part they're fine just because "kodi" hasn't supported or endorsed them doesn't mean much. They are trying to protect themselves. We all know that the "kodi" endorsed addons don't really offer much. Furthermore TVaddons is not KODI there a development team ( that also have a fork of kodi TVMC) and there developers also create their own addons that you probably use but don't release it.

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Umisguy:
anyone who's having problems with Kodi: step 1) go to settings from the main leanback launcher , and go to apps and delete KODI's data / cache etc... then after that delete the app. Go to Kodi's website, download their latest version of Jarvis , as an APK , transfer it using your prefered method ( I use ES File explorer and go to network > Remote manager, turn it on, and access the FTP server from a computer or whatever, send files that way) ... and open it in ES file explorer or whatever... then you should have a working KODI that is more stable. Add your addons you wish, you'll find it SHOULD be tons more stable. I've had problems with the KODI from the playstore.
