Hi
Recently I updated my firmware on my Galaxy S2 via Kies to ICS. After installation, I found I had a problem with the lock-screen not functioning and the power off menu not being there. I followed a solution found on here that involved rooting the phone using Odin , then downloading a terminal emulator app to allow me to type in some code to sort out the ‘keystr’ file error. This resolved my problems and things were looking good. However, I then found I couldn’t connect to Kies! So I reloaded the drivers and attempted to unroot (a rooted phone isn’t a big bonus to someone like me who uses it as a just phone/internet access device….I don’t even play games) by using the option is SuperSu.
Following this, I managed to connect to Kies and reloaded photos and music (although it wouldn’t do it using the restore function)…some of the pics won’t display (though they do on my PC if I connect via Kies Air?
Following this, I decided my wife could Bluetooth me a pic that we use as a screensaver, however, I now find my Bluetooth won’t switch on!
I also find that SkyGo still says my phone is rooted?!?! SuperSu will no longer function as a binary file or something is missing…..and I still get the yellow triangle at startup!
It’s all getting complicated…how I wish I had stuck at Gingerbread (like my wife is going to do after seeing all the hassle I have had).
Can anyone please tell me what I can do to rectify the problems? Taking into account I am no techno-junkie etc….what would be my best approach?
Is there something I can type in via terminal emulator like I did for the original problem?
Or should I totally unroot my phone (if so, is there a straightforward method)?
Getting tired of resetting and having to set everything back up again now!!
Please help!!!

So I have an lg G-slate v909 and its currently got android 3.1 but id like to update it to the newest android os. I'm new and don't know how to do this manually as, from what I've been reading, is what needs to be done. I also only have this tablet and my Samsung galaxy s2 phone to access the internet and no PC access currently. I am not subscribed through tmobile just use wifi on the tablet.
Also, I am taking online classes and need to beable to access the mymathlab flash site application and am unable to do so on my tablet through any browser. If anyone could help me with that too, I would be incredibly greatful.
Thanks so much.

Hi to all!
I recently bought this phone, I have to admit to being fully satisfied of the features except for one ... the GPS function.
I have read dozens of guides to adjust the GPS W8+ but not for my model. If I knew how to do the root I could at least try to use the same method.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to do it on this phone?

So I got mine W8 beyond two days ago.
So far so good, but:
1. GPS problem. I am geocacher (more at: geocaching.com) and I need accurate GPS. When I stood still in the open for few minutes, I could see GPS jumping around for 400-900 meters for no reason. AGPS and EPO activated. We will see how it goes
2. I would love to get polish language settings, since there are some apps which fetch the content depending on Your language setting (I know that this is poor design, but this is how they works), so that would be nice. Not an issue anymore. I installed MoreLocale2 and pm'ed it which is more than enough at the moment.
3. I do not see option for sorting the apps in the main apps menu (it was working on my old Lenovo A750) - am I missing something?First 9 icons are fixed and alphabelical, the rest is just alphabetical. I can live with that.
4. I have my contacts stored with country prefix which is not used by my operator. I do not see my contacts data when they are calling me.
The SMSes are provided by operator with country prefix, so the problem is with calls only. I tried to follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2268120 but I am unable to decompile framework.jar - no classes.dex inside. I am not able to deodex framework.odex either, so I am stuck for the moment.GravityMod2 3.0 ROM fixed that problem.
The link provided with the tools and howto contains W8_beyond.JB2.FHD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589TV1.0.1_20130618-cwm6033.img,
when I go to phone info at my phone I can see W8_beyond.JB2.FHD.EN.COM8P128_MT6589TV1.0.2_20130626.
Seems like I have newer firmware. If anyone can tell me how to extract this, I would be more than happy to share.
GravityMod2 3.0 installed - not an issue anymore
For my good old Lenovo I was able to modify the ROM as soon as I got my hands on any ROM in zip format. I guess I could also try to compile something (I am a programmer), but since I am extremely low on time I would need MT6589T kernel patch (is it the same like mt6589) and some basic manual.
Anyone interested?

Thanks, but I got A-GPS and EPO already enabled and EPO downloaded.
I till try to go to the engineering menu and locking via YGPS.
As I understood from google translator, I should just wait for lock and then close everything. Since then everything should be running smoothly. Am I right?
What about my other questions? Lack of polish is driving my crazy. My news feeds are all US which is driving me crazy ...
w8 beyond dead
Guys ..... HELP!!!!
with my habit of fiddling I think I brick the cell.
I tried the guide for root and recovery for the beyond, but now I can not turn on anymore, not even in recovery mode, the LED does not light up even if I put it on charge.
Can anyone give me some advice on where I can start to revive the terminal?
Thanks in advance. :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

I am not sure if it helps (I am quite sure it does not acctually), but which version was running on your phone prior to root attempt? Which part has failed? writting the CWM image or rooting?
Try to connect the phone to the PC via usb and then turning it on. If PC reacts (ADB device as far as I rememeber will be recognized) then there might be chance for You.

in the end I also showed the window of ok with the green circle but by that time you are no longer on again.

Hi,
Thanks for this great tutorial and for arranging all the needed files in one location!
I have a small problem
1. When I open the flash tool I get the following error: "fail to load a raw data file: "c:\users\stephane\Desktop\thl8beyond\W8_beyond.JB2.FHD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589TV1.0.1_20130618-cwm6033.img
2. When I continue the falsh tool opens but when I try to upload the scatter file I get the following error: "Incorrect scatter file format!"
3. My current build number is: W8_beyond.JB2.FHD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589TV1.0.2_20130626. Can I still use the image you provided ?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Hi guys,
I am having trouble to install the drivers for the THL W8 Beyond that I have. My model is:
W8_beyond.JB2.FHD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589TV1.0.1_20130618
When connecting it to the computer it will install HTC drivers under Android Phone entry in device manager and also W8 Beyond under Portable Device.
I cannot root the phone using the msdos script or SP Flash tool. Also Snapea does not see the device. On the same computer I used a ZOPO C2 Platinum and Snapea found that instantly and I could rooted and also pushed a custom ROM.
Now... wish I could also root this THL to be able to back-up my stock ROM. No need for me to work with a custom, just need to be able to back-up the original ROM just to be safe.
Can you please help me in regards to the communication problem between computer with Win 7 64bit and the THL W8 Beyond phone?
Thank you.

I recently got a Xperia X10a, and I noticed that it has the android 1.6 on it. I know that the newest version of Android is 4.2 so I started searching the internet for an update to android 4.0.4 at least. I discovered that the android 4 for the X10 isn't completed so I went to android 2.3 and found the site freexperia, there you can download the CM7 for X10. I'm a noob, I don't know what a kernel is and what I can cause to the phone by changing it so I need help, because every tutorial explains how to update from 2.1/2.3 to 2.3.3 or something like that. I also tried to update the phone throug SE Pc companion and update service, but I can't pass through the step of pressing back and plugging the phone in again, I do what is said to do but nothing happens and the phone just turns back on. Also i saw something about the baseband and changing it to most recent one, but I don't know how to do it, and I discovered that you can put multitoutch in the X10. How can I update from android 1.6 to 2.3? I need to update the baseband? If yes how and to what version(i'm from brazil, and I don't know if this change from country to country) What are the main differences between CM7 and the official SE 2.3 updates? Through these updates the multitouch will be automatically installed in my device? I also would like to install clock work mod on my device, how can I do that?
PS.: I read the thread about using the flashtool to do many thing to my device, and the tutorial was very clear, so if I can do what I want using tha tutorial as a foundation the process will be much more easy.
Well, I've been trying to update for a while now and I think I discovered the problem. As I need at least the Android 2.1 to start doing what I want with my phone I have to update via PC companion, but when I reach the end of the preparing step I get an error on my PC, after I turning off the device I plug it in holding down the back key and a pop up apears saying that the device had a malfunctionig and is not conect so I get stuck in this step, as the device is not recognized. Can anyone help me?
What i did with mine is rooted the phone while on 1.6 then changed the region code. After connecting via pc comp i got the update to 2.3.
I recently picked up a the F-05e but it has ICS on it. I see that there is JB and downloaded the update but can't figure out what it should be named or where to put it for the built-in firmware update (power button + volume up) to see it and apply it. The file is called UpdatePackageFile.dat and I put it in the root of the SDCard but it says it can't be found. I can't read Japanese and the translate options don't appear to be helping me too much. I am using this page:
http://spf.fmworld.net/fujitsu/c/update/nttdocomo/f-05e/update2/top/index.html#heading02
If I try to follow the instructions on the above page, the tablet tells me "Software update is necessary for the Android system upgrade. Launch this application again after the update is done." When I try to do the software update, I get an error that says I must be connected to the Docomo network for it to work. "When docomo network is not available, or during roaming, software update is not available even if Wi-Fi is connected." It might be that the tablet can't be updated but it is worth a shot. If nothing else, the tablet can run a good percentage of Android software (Netflix, ereaders, not too heavy games, etc).
Any help is appreciated.
