I'm having a problem with the vibration on my Samsung Galaxy S 2 (i-777). After some research, I decided that I should take it back to the store. I'm running a custom rom and have it rooted. I know I need to reset the flash counter and restore it to the stock from. Is there anything else I'm forgetting?

Yes that is partly true, I work in the computer forensic part of the computer world without completly destroying the device ordoing what is called a low level format ( zero out) your hdd or the memory one will still be able to recover data on a device given the proper tools and skills. However thecost of doing this outways the outcome inthe privite sector of data recovery thegoing pay rate for a computer forensic person is on average 400 to 500 dollars an hour and no that is not a typo.Now with regards to android devices its not worth it to the company unless for legal action to do this. All they worry about is rooting and custom roms breaking the warrenty

After I successfully downloaded the update using the instructions here to 4.0.3. I have a few things to say/ask.
1. The battery takes a longer time to charge. Is it only my phone?
2. The battery percentage option that is there in settings for other phones on ics, is not there in my phone. How do I get it?
3. Some video formats which were previously supported are not supported anymore. Is there anything I can do to make them work?
4. Some songs come distorted. Is there a way I can fix them?
5. I have experienced a lag in my phone which was previously didn't happen.
6. The Facebook sync doesn't happen as well.
Please help.

How so? He gave the OP excellent advice. Let's not forget something...
What ROM is this guy on? Or is he stock? He never said, so how the hell can we help him? I'm assuming he's stock, so he should go all AT&T or Samsung. They will have all the answers he needs in nice little bullets on their help section.

Your problem is u are on stock ics. Which had bloatware that makes it laggy and misbehave. Along with the stock kernel that has been known to hard brick devices if u wipe data.

OP, you need to do one of the following:
A. Deal with the bloatware and lag
B. Read a ton in these forums and then root/flash so you can get rid of 95% of your current issues.

And even after you feel you've read enough...read some more. Its easy when you get the hang of it, but takes time to understand it all. Hell, even I'm not 100% about rooting my phone. I bought it pre-rooted.
So what happened is that I had installed the rom as the 2nd ROM(10/5) and tried to boot it, but when i had booted it, after the galaxy s2 logo and siyah kernel logo, it kept staying on the black screen forever... so i had to format it and reinstalled the previous version which is (9/24), and it worked really fine on my phone.. do u guys have any idea why it's not working on my phone???? plz help me cause i want to install the newest version..
try not flashing Siyah.

Sent from Team Pirate! Using Tapatalk 2
I, like everyone I'm sure whom actually feels like bring proficient with their devices, have pondered endlessly what has caused this outbreak of OP phobia. Disappointingly, I believe I stumbled upon a portion of the problem yesterday. A first time rooted friend of mine came calling due to having no knowledge of gapps. I asked where he had gone for a rom, and he said xda like I had advised him. After 2 minutes with his phone, I interrogated further to find that he had actually just read a review elsewhere, and followed a link to xda for the download. Its truly infuriating that there isn't a way to make full comprehension of the OP mandatory to download. For this, my sympathy, and condolences go out to each and every active member, mod, and especially devs in this community.

I agree. Reading the OP should somehow be made mandatory before u flash the ROM haha. Sure would save a lot of headaches eh

Hey everyone,
Been a while since I've touched base... so I thought I would screw up my phone just as an excuse to say 'Hi!"
Anyways, been running a CM9 nightly for many months, finally got bored with it today so I found the SuperNexus rom and installed that without a hitch.
But then I got greedy.
After meticulously setting up the phone and apps again, I decided I wanted to get my CRT screen on/off animation back and thought, "Well, hey... this should be easy," so I booted into recovery and installed the zip. Hit reboot and.... nothing. The Samsung GS2 logo appears, and then it's just a black screen.
In retrospect, I imagine it has to do with some kind of incompatibility between the CRT animation I used for CM9/ICS and this new JB rom... hindsight 20/20.
If you guys could give any pointers I'd appreciate it. Unless I'm doing something wrong, I can't seem to boot into recovery. Any way I can uninstall that CRT zip, or am I stuck?
Thank you... and hi!

I swear I tried that several times and it didn't work, but now that I tried it again I was able to boot into recovery.
Would simply re-installing the SuperNexus zip overwrite this issue, or do I need to start from scratch with another factory wipe/clear data?
Thank you, again.

Never mind, guys. I figured a wipe was unnecessary so I just reflashed the rom and everything appears to be working properly again. Appreciate the assistance with the questions, however silly they were.

Wouldn't matter they'd still say they couldn't boot into recovery. Then we'd have to point out that they aren't holding it for long enough. Then they'd say they are. Then we'd say hold it until u actually get INTO recovery mode. Then they'd respond saying oops, derp, you were right. Viscious cycle.

You haven't even rooted yet I'm guessing. Go ahead and read the stickies.
Assuming you do have a 777 and not another variant of the sgs2, then the "rumors" about rom manager not working are not rumors. It is confirmed all over this forum, all you have to do is read. Don't use it. Read the stickies before you mess up your phone.
So are u saying u have rom manager installed or not? Have u rooted and installed a kernel with cwm in it yet? Do u wear ladies undergarments? Were u the second gunman on the grassy knoll? Tell me!

jesus the iforce is strong with those morons! if android copied off of apple then why wouldnt we all want to own an iphone? i love how he complains about the notification slider... if i dont like something on my phone i just change it... oh wait they cant, but then again i thought google stole all their ideas.. wait im confused.
im kind of confused how I can get the flash counter back to 0 without tripping off the flash counter.
triangle away allows me to do this, but it requires ICS + a kernal flash (ive done searched, and the only way i could find to get the phone rooted with ICS = kernal flash). once i do the reset, i have to ODIN it back to stock, which will set off the counter again. any ideas?
