Phone: Galaxy S2
Network: o2
Region: UK
Ok, so I did some stupid things while trying to install cyanogenmod (my Android friends told me I needed to do this). All was going well until I rebooted using rommanager, and had a signature error (i think). I then pressed ALL OF THE WRONG BUTTONS (probably toggle signature verification i think). Now when i boot the phone it goes:
- o2 animation screen
- galaxy s2 logo
- pause
- o2 animation screen (repeat)
SO.. I'm guessing I need to put the firmware back on there, right? I can get into download mode OK:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-i9100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (3 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
I'm guessing I can use Odin to install a new OS / firmware.. right? .....right? I would start trying to fix this myself, but I'm guessing the chances of me breaking this even further are *really high*.
If anyone can offer any help, a terrible n00b would be extremely grateful.. Hey if you want any Unity3D advice in exchange, let me know
You have a bootloop. Just download the correct firmware for your phone and flash through odin.

Apologies for being a vile, horrible n00b, but where do I get the correct firmware from? I don't want to make any further mistakes. Could I continue trying to get cyanogen on this?

Vile & horrible, lol.
Don't worry mate. Just get it back to a level playing field and then think about custom ROMs, like CM.
Look at the xda bookmarks in my sig and get the official firmware thread. Just get a recent one from there and flash. You should be good to go after that. Everything you need to know is in the 1st post of the thread.
Incidentally, don't listen to anyone that tells you you "need" to do anything. Get the thing working and just use it. A lot of phones are definitely better with custom stuff on them, but this phone really doesn't need it for a great experience. Once you know it well enough to know what more you want then you can start getting custom ROMs in order to do that. Seriously, the stock version of the SGS2 is still better than most phones out there with the best custom ROMs available. It just depends what you want out of it.
ITS WORKING AGAIN!!
Thankfully I made a backup.. and i restored it using clockwork recovery mode.
I want to use it for development, and I am a nerd, so I want to mess around with it a bit.. so now it's working again, back to cyanogen, and to work out what I did wrong!

Glad you got it working mate.
I tried CM7 recently myself, and despite being very careful and following the instructions to the letter I ended up stuck on the boot logo. A reboot into recovery mode fixed it though, automatically, so no harm done.
I guess there's no black and white in these things. Sometimes, "something" just goes wrong.
What kind of development are you gonna be doing? Are you gonna be the next big thing in ROMs or apps?

before doing any more messing around make sure you take a backup of your efs folder this contains your imei number and other stuff. if that buggers up, then you will not be able to fix it yourself. see this thread for a guide of how to backup your EFS folder.

I've been doing Flash and Unity3D apps on web and iOS recently, and since I can deploy to Android too, I thought I better get myself familiar with how it works!

Well good luck mate. The more the merrier, I say
Okay so I tried using the main SBF tutorial on the dev forum here and that SBF file didn't work for my Milestone X2. I'm pretty sure the main problem is that I'm on ACS (Alaska Communication Systems) and they're using 2.3.6 and probably some strange baseband versions. I got some "boot error 1" or something.
Anyway, I can't find a .sbf file for the ACS version of my phone. I was able to get the phone to boot again using this nTelos sbf, but I wasn't able to make calls or anything and saw a flashing triangle on my status bar.
So I guess a few questions I have are..
1) Does anyone know of a .sbf file that would work for this?
2) Can I somehow edit the nTelos ROM to work with my carrier?
3) If I take it to ACS will they be able to flash the sbf file for me? Or at least supply me with it....
4) Have I voided my warranty by doing this?
Any information is helpful. Thanks!
----------------------------------------------------
Figured I'd give everyone a quick update. I got the phone replaced. I went in and played dumb. She asked if I tried to root it and I said "what's that? I think I've got a virus!!" She had no idea how to fix it so she just gave me a rapid replacement.
I would really like to get the SBF files so I can at least try the 2.3.6 root and not worry about messing it up this time, but any company in Alaska is pretty hard to deal with for anything at all.
Thanks for your help XDA! I miss my Skyrocket
I'm not sure if flashing a sbf file voids warranty. I imagine that it does because if done improperly or the sbf file is bad it could brick the phone. You're most likely going to have to take the phone to them.

you probably have to flash your phone in a similar method as a flash to cricket or metropc wireless except with your carriers information.

Not sure I fully understand, could you give a little more information please? Kind of nervous about taking it in.
was it just the flashing triangle that means you have to activate the phone?
maybe that's all you need to do?
SBF files are given to us by Motorola. I wouldnt think you would void your warranty by using them unless its a leaked version or something. But even then, you could play stupid and just say you didnt know. They might buy it.
I mean if all else fails ask for an sbf from your service provider.

Many thanks I shouldn't have made the attempt to downgrade first in the first place. This time I think I'll just attempt a simple root, which I've read worked for another ACS Milestone X2 2.3.6 user. After a root I can install ReRecovery and make a NANDROID backup right? Just in case anything goes wrong again? I haven't fully looked into it since I'm not rooted yet, but I'm assuming ReRecovery is just another thing similar to ClockWorkMod, which I have experience with. Too bad there are no 2.3.6 roms that I've seen :< I really hate this stock ROM and all its bloat.

yes, I do not blame you. There are parts of the stock rom I like but generally I do not like it. I just rooted my phone 2.3.6 method and it worked. My only advice is to download Super user from the market before you start the process.

I do want to help, but do not want to risk anything until I can get my phone setup to a point where I can always flash back to this ACS 2.3.6. Is that essentially done once/if I get ReRecovery on the phone?
Yea RR should be flashed whenever you leave cwr!
You could test on your acs.

How to root:
I followed the directions in this thread.
http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/topi...2Bstock++tar
Except for the stock kernel I used the FF24 one. I uploaded to here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/usnhbh2n9ksj08s/VMAJKof_-C
This will get you root, but stay mostly stock.
Well I have a Generic Samsung Galaxy S2
Model: SCH-R760
Android version: 2.3.6
Baseband: S:R760.01 K.FF24
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-SCH-R760.XARFF24-CL1125314 [email protected] #2
Build: GINGERBREAD.XARFF24
I am looking for how to obtain root only. I believe this can only happen by flashing another Kernel, in which case I would like to know how to back up my current Kernel.
Any help with this would be great. I know source is available from Samsung, but I have not learned how to build from source yet.
Thanks,
Ralph McDade
BUMP Me too, exact model. Am wanting to root. Any one with any info on how?
to root it looks like you are going to have to flash another kernel. If you have US cellular there are backups and rooted kernels. If you are on another carrier, you can flash the us cellular kernel and then reprogram the phone for your carrier. The problem with this is depending on what kernel you are on, you may not be able to go back to stock.
I am working on contacting Samsung to see if I can get the stock software that is currently in my phone. I will keep you posted.
No, It's not a US Cellular phone
I understand that, mine isn't either. But it looks like we can use the kernel from the US cellular that has been rooted. Or wait till a one-click root comes out for 2.3.6. Which maybe never due to work being done for newer android phones. Sorry, who is your carrier. If we can find the stock Kernel we could modify it. Problem is Samsung has not release it, only the source.
Mine is [email protected] #2
My carrier is a local company called Pioneer Cellular. All of my stats (kernel, build etc) match yours exactly
---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------
Is there a way to pull the kernel from the phone using odin?
I will let you know what I figure out. I am going to get in touch with my provider and see if they can provide the software. I doubt it though.
I have tried all of the one click solution none have worked.

Yes, we have successfully rooted. Follow the instructions in the following post. If you are on FF24 instead of FF18 then download the stock FF24 from page 2 in the same thread (post # 25 by mcdader) instead of in step 3.

sch-r760 rooted, use on other cdma services?
So i have my us cellular galaxy s2 phone rooted with some app exnos abuse or something like that. What i am wondering is if there is some way to get this phone to work with other cdma services such as verizon, verizon prepaid, straight talk, or even U-Prepaid( i guess this is us cellular, but they wont let you use a us cellular contract phone... Say what!?) Just so we are all on the same page, i am very much a noob when it comes it flashes and kernals. I used to toy around with flashing basic verison phones so that they would run java apps, but thats about it(lg phones turned into super nintendo).
I have searched around, but the only thread i found asking this same thing had no solution and a bunch of ppl complaining how it was on the wrong forum. So i thought i could post here? I hope nobody minds overly much.
Anyway, if this is possible i would love to hear from someone maybe get me pointed in the right direction.
I aslo read that verizon will not add meid numbers to their database. Do you think it would be possible to take the ein and meid of a verizon basic phone and put them on my device? Would i be able to get 3g if i did ths or do you think they would view ot as a basic phone on verizon's zide?
For the MEID swap NO. It's basically your phones fingerprint, assigned to that device built in to the hardware . Although you could clone another phone if its the same,but that is a felony. So I wouldn't try it. But flashing to another carrier, would require the stock files for that particular device. I.e if ur going from say Alltel phone to USSC you could flash USSC stock file to your phone. But it would basically have to be the same model GS2>GS2 and hardware.etc

What so to clone the meid of one device i own to another device i own is a felony? I bet that freakin FCC is behind this!
That aside, i've seen people talking about scripts that allow a user to install a newer android version from a similar device on another network, then the script edits the back to be able to use uscc, is there any way i can manually edit these settings so that i can connect to another network? I'm sure i can convince someone at straight talk to add my meid to their cdma service if their towers see my device. What with that new thing they offer send u a sim card for any gsm phone. Can anyone point me in the right dicection on switching carriers this way?
Uhg sometimes text entry gets so glitchy on this thing, makes it hard to go back and chamge aomething when my curser is out of place five characters, this is my excuse for any the spwllig issues.
Hello All,
I do not post on XDA (Silent reader haha) This would be my first thread.
Anyways, I have a couple of questions that I could not seem to find solid answers to.
I'm on Stock Jellybean I9300XXDLIH. I plan on rooting using Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root (the one that keeps stock recovery)
Q1.) If I root using that, then later if I want to restore my phone to TOTAL stock to keep warranty, will I be safe by using TriangleAway and then flashing Stock firmware (Of the same region) using Odin? Are these 2 steps enough? Some people have got that tiny red exclamation mark,something about a new bootloader.. has that issue been resolved?
Q2.) I have heard that OTA updates are not a good idea after rooting. However I want to use Kies to update my firmware, after rooting and using TriangleAway. Is this a problem?
Q3.) I think we are getting a 4.1.2 update soon with premium suite .. around this month. Is it better to wait for that update before I root?
Q4.) If it is wise to root now, can somebody please link me to a guide that tells me what it is safe to remove from stock rom? I have downloaded a debloat tool from a guide, but I opened the .BAT file with a text editor, read the commands and saw that it removed too many things for my liking, some of them I would want to keep..
Q5.) Does the Stock Kernel support overclocking/Underclocking/Undervolting? (I am guessing not, being hopeful Interested in underclocking and undervolting.) Are there any drawbacks to using a Kernel like Siyah's in terms of battery life and stability? Does the Stock rom at least support underclocking by itself? On my Old galaxy mini it did..
Thank you, sorry for the long post or if the questions seem repeated (Spent loads of time searching!):laugh:

If you root then your phones binary counter will increase and phone will show in modified state. You will not be able to use ota upgrades. But I don't miss kies a bit because I got so much more with little secrifise. Also there are better options for backing up your phone then kies.

If that's what you want. But there are many custom roms already have 4.1.2 and they are much better then stock rom for battery, speed and smoothness. I could never convince myself go back to stock rom after trying some of custom rooms with lots of additional features.

I am not sure about this issue because I never faced this one. I purchased S3 last month and Isince then I have been flashing custom roms. I already tried 15-20 roms. Never had any issue.
All you had to do is completely follow instructions and make sure rom/mod/app is compatible with your phone model
Why do you want to update via Kies? I think Kies will only work if you keep your device pure. Also, you can update/flash official firmware with Odin/Mobile odin. That's what I do. Most of the people here do not use kies for upgrading firmware but they download stock samsung firmware from http://www.sammobile.com and flash it with Odin. It take 30 secs, as simple as that.
Thank you for your time.
I already know about Odin and Samfirmware, it's just that this is an expensive phone and don't want to use any unofficial software apart from Root.. for now.
There is no way to know unless you try it yourself. Nobody here can assure you that some process or rom or mod will definitely work on your phone.
This is kind of you-are-responsible-for-your-act forum.

my phone did the dumb update will i be able to still flash these ?
this is that dumb update in full ROM form. these files are used mainly to go back to stock after we hopefully achieve root. or if you brick, this is the files to restore your device to that out the box state.
strange but I've always been one of those hardcore AOSP types, but with my Note 7 I only want root for a few select apps. TouchWiz is not that bad compared to Galaxy S 2 days.

strange but I've always been one of those hardcore AOSP types, but with my Note 7 I only want root for a few select apps. TouchWiz is not that bad compared to Galaxy S 2 days.

lol figured it would, to many things in place by samsung to allow. plus this update that just came, i think patched 4 CVS related to Qualcomm chip and root. even if we get a basic root, we are still far from custom ROMs, need bootloader for that.
Does anyone know if this firmware can be flashed on other variants such as the Verizon N930v? Similar to the GS7/S7Edge? (I'm running factory PF2 AT&T firmware on my Verizon S7 at the moment.. flashed flawlessly without root.. I want to do the same thing but with the Note 7, since I can get Verizon devices at 2yr pricing on my business account instead of monthly payments on AT&T)
Also, is flashing the PIT file required for flashing the rest?

I achieved this on my S7 without root by flashing the G930U (unlocked model) firmware, as it didn't have mobile tethering restrictions. Once/if the U firmware is available for the Note 7, you could probably do the same.. pending on if all devices can receive the firmware from other models. (Which I asked on this thread a few minutes ago)..

No you don't have root. You can use Samsung Side Sync on your PC to enable tethering however. It requires the phone to be plugged into your computer/laptop though. No wireless hotspot unfortunately.
Pdanet does the same thing
