Hey guys, figured i would test out a semi-cleaned up rom for yall to flash. This is nothing too fancy, just removed most of the bloat from the /system.
Go here for the download: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/458252/Angel-i500-VZW-semiclean.tar.md5
install with odin, follow instructions in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782204
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU FLASH TO YOUR PHONE! YOU FLASH THIS KNOWING THAT IT COULD VERY WELL BRICK YOUR PHONE!

And to the ones with root not showing up, can you 'ls /system/xbin' from adb and paste the results?

Girlfriends Fascinate just decided to randomly stop doing anything except showing lights on soft keys after rooting and lag fix. Decided if I've got to restore should try this. First flash I got stuck at a similar issue after VZW logo. Wiped data and cache and was able to boot but entered in to FC hell. Working on flashing back to stock Odin posted in other thread as we speak.
Update: realized I had only wiped data and not cache as well. after doing that was able to flash back to stock, trying this once more.
Update 2: No go, still FCing like crazy. Flashing back to stock.

I had the same issue. Install stock and then Angels. Wipe cache only and it should work. If you cant activate Google do a reset in settings and all is fine.
I'm sorry, but that's exactly what I experienced rooting and running the lag fix on a Vibrant. There is something flawed with the lag fix. I don't know what it is, but this is the 4th experience I've read about that's the exact same as mine.
Could Samsung change the file system with an OTA update? Is that even possible?

All the lag fixes have some issues right now. The best lag fix will come once samsung releases the source code for our phones. See here: http://project-voodoo.org/

I recommend using odin and falling up's odin files. I'd link you, but my phone doesn't link.
I'm running the stock ROM, rooted. When the next OTA drops, whether it be GB or just the removal of Free Hotspot, obviously I'm not going to be wanting it to auto-download/install. Aside from editing the build.prop file (which I never messed with) that I noticed mentioned in a thread from a few months ago, are there any options (other than flashing a different ROM) to stop the update from pushing to my TB? Will it disable OTA updates if I freeze Updater 2.2 with Titanium Backup?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
You won't automatically get the OTA and have it installed. You have to accept it and allow it to be downloaded and installed. But I believe the build.prop is where you have to make the change (device ID??) so that it won't get to you.
Most roms that have you flash standalone gapps packages use FOTAKill to kill ota updates.

Flashing fotakill is not flashing a rom...but ok...didn't realize that was implied.
I was just sharing...but I will bite my tongue in the future.
My mistake, I thought you were implying that flashing a ROM would remedy the situation because they're already including FOTA Kill (which it would.) I didn't realize you were referring to just flashing FOTA Kill standalone. Is that even possible on a stock rooted TB?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
lol dont know if anyone saw or not but if your rooted the update wont come to you period so no need to worry about it. As long as you s off you wont be receiving OTA update unless u go and check for them ur self.

I'm not exactly sure the detail of it other than running a service that prevents ota. I would have thought it could be applied to stock assuming the same service is receiving the ota but I could be wrong. Ask Zinx.

As far as I was aware, you'd still get the notification and the update since the service is still checking. It will just fail when it tries to install. Perhaps I am wrong though.

Unless the TB is different than the DINC in that respect, that's not correct. On the DINC, if you're running the stock ROM, rooted or not, you'll still receive the OTA notifications. They won't install properly and/or brick the phone if you have S-OFF.
hi
since the MR5 OTA update i encounter problems and i want to go back to stock
MR1.
where can i download it?
can any1 give me link to download?
if my device is updated to MR5 is it safe to flash with rsdlite the MR1?
There was never a MR1 SBF posted anywhere AFAIK.
ok
so...can it be ported the sbf from stock phone?

Have you tried ##786# and click on factory default reset but you have to know your msl #. Hoping that it restores back to stock version.
did you know what you'v just sayd?
firmware cannot reset itself to the basic if upgraded it factory reset cannot be
helpfull here...try'd it 3 times and guess waht?
OK i'v done it flashed the phone back to MR3 with RSDLITE i almost peed in
my pants when the phone started and stuck'd on the "NOW" after the reboot.
the phone flash'd but again having "wifi error"
but the most odd thingy is when activating the phone with the Sprint zone
app the phone i was able to use wifi and after activating it the phone rebooted
its self and the wifi issue came...its something to do with this ****ty app.
If Sprint Zone is the problem then you can remove it.
I recommend you flash back to CM5, then you can install Alien ROM which does not include that bloatware. You can install it either by unlocking and using CWM Recovery or by following the instructions to setup the bootstrap recovery. Either will do the trick and you'd be happy with the result. Just my 2 cents.
i want to stay with the stock rom a little while
which carrier are you using?
and how i remove this ridiculous app?

People have told you this several times bro, you have to be ROOTED to remove any bloatware (stock apps). rooting your phone gives you administrator rights.
Root your phone, download esfile explorer, go to settings in esfileexplorer and click on the root settings, and mount settings, make sure both boxes are checked. Now go to where the file is located and long press the file and select delete. If you need to reinstall it later for some reason there are a ton of downloads for it around, so no real need to back it up. I keep a copy on my SD card all the time.
Good Luck

the strange thingy is that after flashing the phone want's to be activated first
the wifi works but after activating it the wifi wont respond anymore
if i dont use Sprint's network at all why the phone needs to be registered?
thats sooo oddddddd!

You realize you are not at the stock ROM? You are using MR3, which was a testing build and never released OTA or included stock with the phone. Thats why Yay4Juggs quickly replaced it with the final CM5 build once it was available.
i used the 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf.gz right after i saw that i had wifi error.
i flash'd it 3 times but no luck at all.
thought to roll back to the stock MR1 but i dont see it anyware with this
stock (MR1) i havent got any problems at all i upgraded to MR5 via the OTA
and having troubles since than.
the file i just mentiond is from Yay4Juggs thread.

can u give me the download site for the files since have being searching but not found it
Sometimes just for kicks I check to see if there is an update. Even though I am rooted and running Enthropy's kernel.
Today (2011/12/15) all of a sudden it found a new firmware. I searched the news field and didn't see anything about it. Does anyone here know about it?
Looks like its the ICS update. Odd that it came out so quickly.
(just kidding...)
Probably KK6 just went official.
LOL. Wouldn't that be something. Hell will be frozen. Pigs will be flying... etc etc
You should download the file, pull it then post it here for us to rip it apart and see what it is
It said it downloaded, but not sure where the file was downloaded. It wasn't update.zip ( of course)
Anyone has any ideas?
I assume it would be in your downloaded folder.
Im not sure, Ive never downloaded anything OTA.
I'd guess root of the sd card
edit: not actual card
I got nothing
current software is up to date
Says I have the most current software. No way Samsung or AT&T would have ICS out already.

Not me. After update process finished and phone rebooted, I got a message 'Update process interrupted'. The update didn't go through and my phone stays as is (still on 2.3.4 and rooted).
What do different modems do?
What are the difference between UCKH7, UCKJ4, UCKJ1, UCKJ2, and UCKJ6?
Yes but they were quick. I'm glad to get official ics so early.

So after the update, I'm now on 2.3.6. The screen lock bug is fixed, but what else?
Tried two more times. Even unroot my phone. Still failed to update. Oh well. I'll wait until ICS to update then. Too much hassle to go through flashing back to stock process.
Hey guys. I just got my brand new galaxy s2 and I'm loving it. But as of right now the latest software update is 2.3.6. Now I'm on 2.3.4 and I checked for a software update and it says I'm on the latest software.

My understanding is that AT&T is rolling it out to in waves. Eventually you'll see the update. They just can't, and don't want to, put it out to every [email protected] at the same time.
From what I've read, if you're planning to root your phone, it's much easier and better supported to do it from an earlier version.

AT&T does this in case the update has a problem that missed their QA process.
I'm fairly certain they are rolling out the update fairly slowly - there were even rumors that it might have been pulled for a while. People getting the OTA have had a LOT of complaints.

The reason you see so many 2.3.6 based ROMs in development is because a few developers took a gamble - they guessed that the UCKK6 leak might be a final release that could go official, and they were right. We had access to a full UCKK6 2-3 weeks before anyone received an OTA.
Note that many of those ROMs are appearing to have a few issues:
1) Weird wifi compatibility issues not present in UCKH7
2) Bluetooth HID is broken - no mouse/keyboard pairing

Thanks bro. I appreciate that. Now I'm about to root using either super one click or the zedomax way and I just wanted to confirm this with you. When the Att update comes I just use your guide to flash your kernel that comes with stock recovery right? Then I'm done right and I can just apply the ota update regularly right? Thanks again

If you root using either Super One Click, or Doomlords version of the zergrush exploit, you will still retain the stock kernel and be able to get the update without additional changes. If you update while rooted, you will retain root on UCKK6.
I'm not sure, but if you use the zedomax kernel to root, you may lose device manager and therefore not be able to check for the update.

Am I supposed to take the battery out or something. It says do not turn off so I'm a bit confused.
You should not interrupt download mode during a flash, of course, because bad things will happen. However, if the flash is finished, or if you put the phone into download mode without starting a flash, just hold down the power button until the download screen goes away, and the boot screen appears. You can also just pull the battery.

That should work fine.

I don't know what would be causing the problem. Some posters indicated that you need to have all the bloatware on the phone, as well as the stock kernel, but I don't know if that is true or not.
I know that when I tested it, I started out on UnNamed. I Used the Odin One-click downloader to put UCKH7 stock plus root, and then updated succesfully. The first time I did it, I forgot to do a data wipe, so after I pulled the files I was getting, I did a data wipe, installed the UCKH7 stock plus root and updated again. The update worked flawlessly on both occasions, retaining root.
So the only thing I can suggest is do a wipe data/factory reset in recovery, install the Return/Unbrick to stock UCKH7 plus root package, and then update. I would think that would clear anything out that would prevent the update.
