I don't see that, I see normal stuff.
Maybe try via WiFi? I doubt that helps, but just confirm that for me.

Appreciate the interest. On wifi now, same business. Was going for an easy fix, but I suppose I can just redo everything.

Okay, I have officially tried everything. Burned my whole afternoon. Even restoring completely to stock with odin doesn't work. Heading in to Verizon tomorrow.
Just give it some time. Mine was like that for about 24 hours.

Did you try modifying your build.prop file...maybe the footprint got botched.
I did not. Is there an instruction post? I'll search for it tomorrow. About to crash.
Unsure about waiting 24 hours, how does that work?
I know for the dinc there was a market fix so that the phone identified itself as a nexus one to the market. Perhaps something like that would work.

join the club i used Odin to flash CWRecovery and now i dont have WIFI not sure yet if i have market because i dont have 3G service @ home
please some one chime in ???
I flashed CWM last night and everthing is fine. Connected to wifi today at work market isn't giving me any problems.
I was the first guy to get CWM installed on the Fascinate, and I haven't had a single problem with the Market, paid or free.
I don't know if it has anything to do with CWM, but the issue didn't begin until I loaded it, so it's something that got screwed up along the way.
Before I loaded it, I undid the lagfix, wiped, re-rooted, and ran through the CWM steps.
Now I have gone completely back to stock, and am still having the same issues. My G/Fs Fascinate is fine however. I wasn't sure if anyone was familiar with what would be causing the issue, I understand it's working fine for everyone else. lol.

How far back to stock have you gone? If you don't mind going back to base zero, you can try something...
To go completely back to stock what would you recomend? The process outlined for the i9000 mix up?

I'm at base zero via your post, followed by a wipe to ensure that I killed root so I can possibly return the phone later today, lol. I'm seriously disturbed by this. Would be happy to try any possible fixes though.

Go do Settings - > Privacy -> Reset Factory Default (something like that).
It's different than a recovery wipe, this will rebuild /dbdata.
I betcha one whole dollar that fixes it. Unless you already did that. In which case I do not bet you one dollar.

Lolz. Done already.
I have honestly tried every possible combination of fix I can think of to do. I don't know what got borked, but to be completely honest, I can't swear I had paid market from the get on mine. I am just pretty sure I did.

Hi Guys,
My x10i was giving me pig of problems and my carrier gave me a new phone (not a new x10i though ) but now that I have this, would like to play with it a bit more install some roms upgrade to gingerbread (when I can). But primary issue right now after restored to factory settings on the device is can't get access to my wifi network.
As this is the only method will have for internet connection its useless without. So my question is..... do I need a working sim (have few blanks) to get this to work with wifi (do not know why this would be but possibily the queing of network discovery).
Any help whit this would be greatly appreciated.
Try an app in the market called.... wosim

anyone have wosim so can load it via usb (if I can), if so can it be loaded somewhere so I can download it
Download it from here,and install Via Usb
http://www.appbrain.com/app/wosim/jp.siter.android.wosim
did this work in the end?
i realised you had no market connection but naturally thought youd just pull the apk of the net and drop it into you phone.
Dc
Got wosim, installed it and doesn't work >:¬{ thought the easiest at the end of the day was take out the sim from working phone, put in to x10i and install (thank you market for allowing remote install)
But would not work, phone is rooted so thats not an issue (hehehe or maybe it only works with non routed phones).
So now back to square one, if I put in a custom rom, or wait till the boys perfect Gingerbread on the device then maybe that will sort it out???
At a loss now as the device might as well be bricked, that or buy a scratch and sniff sim card maybe with data???
Tried this with a dummy carrier sim card in the hopes that this would work but no joy, looks like have to buy a sim to get this to connect. This is crazy.... should be a simple way grrrr
Just wondering does anyone have any advice on this have a phone that would like to use wifi only at the moment without the need for buying a new sim.
If I installed a custom rom would it help, and if so any advice on which one?
Well, i got it working on my X10i..
Im using the ROM (in my sig)
Follow these steps:
Insert your SIM
Download and install wosim from market
Turn on WiFi (if it wasn't already on)
Turn off your phone
Remove SIM
Turn on your phone
Connect to the WiFi you want to use (wifi is still on, cuz it was on when you turned off your phone)
It worked for me, can't see why it won't work for you
Thanks, tried that before without the rom and without been rooted, will try with it rooted and see does it make a difference, then if not will try rom'ing the device
nope did not work on standard rom - did not think so... off to install Cyanogen CM then thanks
Was saying to myself for months that would install a rom and kept on kicking it to touch cause of the "grief" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945264 it really can't be easier, now there is a few more bits I have to do, but there was no need for Wosim as there was wifi blade that did the job thanks again Pierre Duc if I could thank you again in here I would >:¬}

You should be able to restore with xRecovery to an earlier version but if you really can't your never really bricked..

SEUS will get you back to a stock 2.1update1 - from that Eclair you can Fastboot and get to any custom rom you like.
Regarding not having a sim, I live in Australia and the pre-paid sim's they sell at a funny stor here called K-Mart cost an amazing $2... sorry I'm not trying to be cheap or anything but they really are cheap! You don't even need to have credit on it..

I've had my SII for a couple weeks now. Love it. BUT, Kies is a real piece of garbage. Having come from a Windows phone and Microsoft's lousy ActiveSync software, I didn't think it would be possible to find a syncing product worse than AS. But Kies is FAR worse. It worked once, the first time I tried it. It has never worked since. I've read all the comments here and tried all the recommendations. Nada! I AM able to connect using the USB Mass Storage function, so all is not lost. But obviously, I'm not going to be able to do any updates (unless I misunderstand how Samsung issues the updates), which is extremely disappointing. Sad, sad, sad.
-Bob-
Make sure usb debugging is off and that the drivers are correctly installed. Also make sure your rom actually supports kies.

Thanks for your response. I had checked all of the items you mentioned. So...I uninstalled both Kies and the USB driver and did a reinstall. Kies started. I then disconnected and reconnected. Worked again. Up popped firmware update. I'm a little hesitant to update since the phone has been great. What do you think? Should I update? And can you tell me how long the updating will take, normally?
-Bob-
If you haven't rooted it just update via KIES, should take around 10 minutes.
Try different USB-connector on your computer. Some of them arent working properly. It happened me. And I changed USB-connection. And it worked. Might help you!

No it doesn't.
My phone came with T-Mobile UK KE3. rooted it (just to make sure that it worked). Loaded the KE7 ROM (UK stock) to get rid of the T-Mobile stuff. Rooted it again. a few days later on I downloaded and ran the KF3 (UK stock) through the Samsung software. Lost root.
I finally rooted it again.
So rooting it doesn't affect the updates and debranding to stock means that the upgrade will also be stock.
I was recently shopping for a knock-around tablet and came across leaderinternationalinc dot com this little guy at Kmart. Yep, I said Kmart. When I asked the price and they told me $129, I said SOLD!.
So far it's been average in performance and had to do some trickery to get some apps installed (Android/Amazon Market, Pandora, Google Talk, etc.) and am still having some difficulty installing other apps. It seems as if they really want you to use their market and apps, some of which are okay, I guess. I got Netflix installed, but the audio/video isn't in sync and everything is a hue of blue. Might be a Flash Player issue - also which I can't seem to update.
Anyway, the bad news is I can't find a way to get in to bootloader or able to root this tab with oneclick. Hopefully they didn't lock this thing down to hard.
Additionally, since the screen is resistive, using a stylus makes it a bit easier to navigate. Worth the money so far!
I'm praying the brilliant dev brains here at XDA will purchase this one and create a simple root/rom that allows me to take this thing to the next level!
Anybody out there?

Were you able to get the standard Market installed on it? I was able to get it along with Pandora, Google Voice and a couple others (Netflix not working well) with a little trickery. Still can't get Google Talk and a few other things like an updated Flash.
If I can get a plain vanilla Froyo on this I would give this cheap little tab a solid B.
#bonus
I know this doesn't have anything to do with my original [Q], but I thought I would share anyway...
I contacted Impression about another AC adapter... 1 isn't enough...
After I registered my device, they shipped me another for free!
Any devs out there for this one?
just return it and get another one, a tablet thats $129 is probably not going to be great at that price.. other than the time hp touchpads were $99
Yeah, it's not the snappiest device I've owned, but makes a great desk-side companion. Mainly use it for Pandora, Weather, IM and a few other things...I'm generally still happy with it although I know it won't replace my primary device. Having the (free) second AC adapter is nice so I don't have to carry that back and forth. 2 hours of streaming music kills the battery dead.
Stay plugged in with this one.
Still hoping, praying that a dev picks one of these up...

You can install the Android Market without any funny business. Just download the apk and install. Still think this device can perform much better if it just had vanilla froyo... Hope someone cracks it.

I used super1click, the newest version. It didnt work the first few times, i ended up doing shell root first, then was able to achieve root as normal. It did seem to take a while.
Edit: I just rooted a 2nd i7.... had the same trouble with it just hanging during root. When it hangs, quickly unplug the usb the replug it in. Once it detects usb debugging again it will root properly and pass the verification at the end.
Hope that helps

Just attempted rooting it myself with Superoneclick.
Did shell root first and that went fine. Attempted normal root right after and it hung right at the end when it said the device was rooted and would restart. Unplugged and replugged the usb quickly and then it rebooted.
My i7 was definitely not rooted when it rebooted. Not sure what went wrong. Attempted it numerous times with the same result sadly. Did it hang right at the end for you or at a different point during the root?

When it hangs at the end it never worked for me. Id suggest trying the different methods to root instead of auto....i just pretty much tried everything until i goot root to stick...if it hangs during root steps thats when to unplug and replug.

Oh and obviously double check usb debugging is enabled

Hello,
I have a couple of problems.
I've been using Litening Rom for months now and I liked using it a lot.
I would like to upgrade to the ICS version of it now.
Here come the problems.
Ever since I rooted the phone, none of my computers recognize my SGS2. I've used clockwork to flash other ROMs on it, but no computer will talk to my phone. Charging via USB obviously works. Switching the phone to USB-tethering, or to debugging don't work either. I've tried installing different drivers, installing Kies etc. but nothing seems to work.
If you have any ideas on how to fix the USB-connection, please let me know.
So the first question basically is: Can I fix my USB connection?
Second problem:
How do I install litening rom ICS without the use of ODIN? Can the odin-compatible image of litening rom 2.0 be converted into a clockwork compatible zip-file?
Third problem:
How do I keep all my data, and program settings, after upgrading to ICS?
I use K-9 mail, the stock SMS app and what's app.
Is there maybe a way to migrate the settings, apps and widgets when upgrading to ICS?
Thanks to all of you.
1. You need to install samsung drivers
2. You can flash Littening rom with odin mobile
3. You can back up what you can with TB, after will set again. Upgrade from GB to ICS need always a full wipe. Good luck
thanks for the quick reply.
1. I have Samsung drivers installed. On the 4 PCs I use, a SGS1 works with the same cable I use for the SGS2. The phone charges, but there is no reaction in Windows. It won't even look for drivers to install as it doesn't realize there is a device.
2. I've seen that option, too, however the free version only does the Kernel and I don't know, what more there is to a ROM.
3. I don't know, what TB means.
Thanks again.

Try entering *#7284# into the dialer. This will bring up a service menu. USB should have PDA selected. If it doesn't, select PDA. If it does, change it to Modem, then back to PDA. After that, try your USB connection again.

Please read some of the FAQs and stickies in the I9100 General section. This is a pretty basic question that has been answered over and over and over. Short answer, Kernel is just part of a full ROM.

TB = Titanium Backup. Use it to back up apps and their data.
Thank you guys so much for all the fast replies.
I got the TB = Titanium backup. Thanks
I'll give it a go and see, what happens.
I used CW's backup feature, so worst case, I'll have to go back to the old litening image.
The issue buying from Android market is, that I don't have a private credit card, only the business ones and I can't use it on an app to help cracking my phone.
What is a SGS2 cable?
Is there anything special about it, other than a standard micro-USB cable, that I'm not aware of?
I hadn't tried the *#7284#. It was set to pda. Changed it, restartet, changed it back. Restarted again. No change.
I opened the phone today and had a little look for corroded contacts and cleaned them, but everything looked fine and no change.
I ordered a new USB socket for the phone and will change it, once it arrives. It really looks like a hardware failure to me, if it is the USB socket, we'll know by the weekend.

I think you voided the warranty when you opened the phone and changed the part yourself... But major props for doing so!
You just might be right, that the warranty is voided, but sending the phone back for repair was not an option.
What are you going to do with no phone for 6 weeks? So, you actually need to buy another one.
Buying and reselling another phone is a bigger drain on the wallet than buying a 15€ spare part and 20 minutes to fix it. Exchanging the part was no biggie. It's just a matter of loosening 9 little screws with an appropriate screw driver and having a credit card handy to open up the phone.... oh and make sure that your wife leaves the vacuum switched off until your successfully put everything back together.
True enough on the vacuum!
or alternatively you could make yourself a nandroid backup from CWM, flash ICS to your device. then restore app/app+data/data only using AppExtractor.
AppExtractor free version only allow us 5 restores per batch, but it works
My opinion, after a cwm backup just flash with Odin. You should still.have all your apps, settings etc.
People say you need to do a wipe beforehand but I flashed ics lpq coming from gb and all worked fine, other than the known ics bugs (scrolling, incompatible apps etc). So I backed up ics with cwm and restored my gb backup.

The AppExtractor tip was excellent. Took care of my K9-Emails perfectly.
However, on the text messages it didn't really work. Only thing it did was wipe the other messages I had received after the flash. :-(
Can you guys recommend a better app to handle them, where maybe the import would work.

yeah sorry, i forgot to mention that, i wish it has some kind of merge function with existing datas.. it'll be awesome
don't worry about it. No problem there.
But it's a bit of a pity, it's not working at all, it just deleted my new messages
and the old ones are also gone.
