Looks good.
Lets hope this thing will bring in lots of welcome company.
I know have a device, I am going to run it how it is for a week, to get a good feel for it, and then I will let the fun begin.

Looking forward to it!
Hope to see some WP7 ROMs on these devices soon!
Edit: I just noticed your provisioning files, did you actually dump the ROM? Would you mind sharing the dump?
that was a "leaked" ROM "leaked" meaning it went to 2-3 people.
I was not going to leak that, in fear of having someone loose there job.
I am going to work on getting it dump here before to long.
I have a list of issues that I have with it right now. I will keep track for about a week, and then I will write a review or something to see what I have found out.
Okay, yes I completely understand why you can't share it now.
I hope you will find out more about the ROM, hopefully you'll be able to dump it correctly.

WARNING I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU DO ANYTHING TO YOUR DEVICE BY DOING ANY OF THESE CODES
Well few things. now that is said.
U+S+B+ Power = Recovery Mode
S + L + Power = Secure Bootloader
C + B + Power = Hard Reset
From the phone screen, enter ##77647266488 then press Call
This is the programming screen, you can manually program using this code.
The firmware is a different mess.
It seems we are not able to dump a ROM from device, at least not that I have seen.
Why do you ask, because what Microsoft did is they have different build flags.
-Debug -Beta -Retail -Ship
From inside there, the Ship, has strict settings on it. One of those is that it cant dump the ROM.
So that is where we are at right now. I have a few ideas to try but I am not going to test for a few days.
We shall see though.
So that is what I have figured out so far.
New site is launched today.

A shame to hear that it's so hard to get it dumped, I really hope you'll be able to. I do not own a KIN, but I would love to have the resources for theming purpose.
Nice site, it's really useful to have all information in one place, but I think it's important to keep posting your findings here on xda too as it will help others who don't know about your site.
yes, i will still do that.
it cant hurt to have the info in 2 places. i want the infomation to be out there for people to find.
Nice, thanks.
Doesn't look like there is much interest in this phone. Too bad. I for one would love if it would get hacked. If some would figure out how to get a wifi router app on it I would be so there. Android would be great too but with the screen size and tegra I doubt anything will happen. I wish I had the time or the abilities to work on this phone.
The kin is officially dead. Here comes Windows Phone 7.

I agree but it is still sad.
Can you please help me root my KIN two. Or atleast point me in the right direction, i will donate to you through paypal. I really want to custimize my KIN TWOm!!
so... verizon re released the kin, and for this form factor it is a very nice hardware device.
unfortunately, the software on it is still not so good... so i was hoping XDA was on the ball, but it doesn't appear so.
is there any hope for custom roms on the kin?

I am currently using the Samsung infuse 4g on rogers network in Canada... I am little tired of this phone cause I like CM7 but can't have BT if I use it... I saw an ad for a white Samsung galaxy s2 that is unlocked and rooted... Is that a good phone with a lot of devs and stuff like that? Is it a good phone as well? I have heard it was but not sure if they were right... If this is the wrong place for this then please can someone direct me there? Thanks
Yep, it's a pretty good phone. Look its Dev Forum
I know we literally just got the subforum, and everyone is going crazy towards development.
Anyways, I've been looking into this and was curious if any of our friends here who actually have the KDZ for their device were willing to give this a shot. I currently have a P769 and never had any real luck with BIN/FLS flashes (Had to return a device bc of this.)
Check it out, and get back to me if anyone has any success!

ok..so here's the problem i have a Samsung galaxy s2 i777 from track-phone/straight talk (im not sure what it is...) it was sold to me online i reset the whole phone and this cyangenMod thing keeps coming up when it boots up after the factory reset I don't want it on the phone but i have no idea how to uninstall it or get rid of it. i just want to get the phone back to how it came out of the box like a new phone but i'm at a lost i've tried the oden program and the phone wont connect to it. i don't know what files it needs or what i have to do i'm at a complete and total loss...
if someone could help me out with this it would be a REALLY big help to me thank you to anyone who reads this and an even bigger thank you to the person(s) who help.
Why would you want to get rid of CyanogenMod? It's quite possibly the best thing to ever happen to phones.
Especially if you're running cm10.1, it's 4.2.2

There's a thread for the phone you have in this forum; look in the Straight Talk thread and you'll find the help you need.

You want to get rid of it? Easy
Option 1: return it to seller, demand s/he send you another one with pure stock firmware on it, not a custom one or request for the refund.
Option 2: reverse back to stock (from CM) yourself. Since you're here, you should have read anyway, so read up those threads especially the stickies and DIY.

The other posters Actually have given you good advice, and it appears that they have pointed you to the place to answer your question! Really!
It sounds like you have a modified Straight Talk phone (please note that the ATT version is I777 and the ST version is S959G. It would be interesting to know whether you have an I777s or S959G).
IF you have an S959G, then your best bet is to check the thread posted down below as Phalanx and the others have mentioned --it's literally below the post you created (several posts below now, just look for the title "Straight Talk SGS2- SGH-S959G" (<- or click on these "straight talk" words)
It may seem frustrating to get a phone that is customized, and right now you just want a phone; However, you actually have one of the nicest and newest roms available for this type of phone!
IF your phone boots CM10.1 and you have the normal android screens, then you have everything that the ST or AT&T company would provide on a "normal" phone, but without some of the junk and advertising that often infects our phones! Try it out! The interface is not that much different from "stock."
Still, if you don't like your phone that way, YOU can fix it and it is not really hard, but just takes some reading and patience to gain understanding of the techniques and processes (learning the principles also is interesting! :laugh
But it will take you at least a few hours of reading, and a bit patience to scan through the Straight Talk links and pages. If you do that you'll see others who have your issue, and also others who turned the issue around to make it a plus!
A modified phone is more of a commitment than a stock phone -but it returns more to the user! Especially if you want to adjust it, enhance it, or appreciate it, you have to put in time.
If that's not for you -perhaps turn it around on ebay. But a working CM10.1 on a Galaxy S2 is a good machine!
Good Luck
Good Luck
