With Kies Air you can connect wirelessly with your phone to Kies on your pc (if you use Kies) for syncing. You don`t realy need thi.s
Flash player is used for animations, clips, movies on your phone when you are on the internet.I wouldn`t uninstall flash player.

Use "airdroid" for transfer files on air.not to kies though.but from phone to pc and phone to phone it's great

[Q] Question about brick ?

i have a question for you guys what i have not
do for to get a cell phone brick ?
i have read many threads and the only way for to get it is by using application rom manager thats right or i can get a brick cell phone in odin software.
what if by a mistake set files in a wrong order in odin software
galaxy ace cf gingerreal v1.0 kph
thanks in advance
WHY would you put the wrong files in ODIN, just read the tutorial and follow it correctly?
And to kinda answer the question, what've read is that ODIN will not brick you phone, you might be able to get a bootloop though (just reflash and it should work fine).
Read the newbie guide(sticky thread) about Rom manager, it should be supported now but be cautious, better to use CWM app instead, or just reboot your phone to CWM (dont be lazy).
People brick their phone when unlocking their phone, there should be a proper solution that works without having to brick you phone.

help phone,caution symbol and pc

i hav rooted my samsung galaxy s2 gt-i9100g to update it ICS through odin3 . but unfortunately in odin it came fail... so i disconnected it removed the battery and put it again and started restarting the phone but to my badluck there's dat symbol comin in the middle of the phone that is phone caution symbol and pc. i cant understand wat to do. i m a nooob so plz help me out i cant send it to warranty as well because i have rooted it wid custom rom. if there is a way for me to get it back to stock plz help me out!!!
ICS? are you sure the rom was for 'G' version only? Are you able to enter download mode?
no problem just flash any stock firmware
connect to pc via usb and flash
The thing is i cant get it to download mode at all. whenever i try connecting it to my lappy i get that mobile,caution and pc symbom. i dont even know if it is charging also. so how can i get it into download mode?
hey konetibharath
that symbol means forced download mode so just get any stock rom and flash it for your i9100g.remember if you connect your moblie to pc when it is on and shows that symbol,odin will detect your phone and just flash stock rom.and be thankful that odin failed at flashing if it didnt you would have hard bricked your device.never try and flash i9100 roms on i9100g.and last thing there is NO ics update for i9100g.be careful when flashing roms,make sure that the rom you are flashing is for your device.

Dude, you want to post crap like this put it in general or Q&A, This section is for posting of developments and reference only. All your questions have already been answered and you would find the info if you just bothered to use search or browse through topics.
Asking questions like "how do I enter download mode" is just ridiculous.
Reported , sick of seeing this crap in last post box!

[Q] cant copy files to the phone from pc

well i dont know what happened, but i rooted my glaxy s3 via qbking77 method that he describes in these forums. however, when i try to move a picture or a video that is mine from my pc to my phone, i get a message saying---do you want to copy the file? file may be copied but you may not be able to view or play it on your device.
i dont know what happened, but oh well...i rebooted the phone, its in usb debugging and all that..
my files are good, all my personal photos so i dont know what the problem is...
appreciate any assistance and thanks in advance..

Just simply click yes, it should work or check the extension of the files. There are some picture extensions that the phones don't recognise.
qbking77 method
As their is no such method i believe on this forum .
But you could post a link to check for this root .
My big guess is that you are yet another in the wrong forum and do not have International I9300 phone .
If so firmware from here may brick your phone be warned .
Of course you may well have a I9300 but rooted with a method that is not for the phone .
So what phone have you and if its I9300 check the root method .

i doubt its the i9300 and that video said nothing about it having to be a i9300.
my phone is sph-L710 if thats what you need, dont see anywhere where it says
i9300. i have always used his methods when rooting prior phones and this one,
never had an issue till now. the phone is rooted, i have the superuser
in apps, i have a custom rom and other customizations.
just cant transfer anything over....

Lets make it simple you have L710 not a phone called the I9300.
This is not the Sprint L710 forum we know nothing about such a phone you would be better off in the Sprint L710 forum .
Does that make sense you are in the wrong forum as i keep saying .

[Q] Tips/custom room/others for my S2-2.3.4

Hello,
I just bought a samsung galaxy s2 phone. I like very much this phone. But because is my first android phone i don`t know a lot of things about it. I saw on forum smth about room(guess it`s right) and how it can make your phone faster.
Which is the best to choose?
Should i do backup first?
Should i do these before updating to ICS or JB?
How can i add the S3 function with s voice on my phone? What others app should i add too?
Any adivice for a noob is welcome!

Sorry for asking the question in a wrong section.
If i`ll update to the newest version, 4, is there a way to come back to 2.3.5?
Should update be done before trying to add a custom rom? or should i add it now and after rom?

Rooting the device and installing a custom ROM are in no way related. You may install a ROM when you wish to do so.
Regarding rooting, there are numerous methods, though I suggest mskip's Toolkit(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488). The simplest and most efficient solution.
Its really a question of reading the faqs and guides until you understand .
The risks of a brick or a problem are then almost non existent .
