Calling all experts - help needed! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I am in need of assistance. My friends' Galaxy S2 had to be sent to Samsung to be repaired and came back running 4.0.3, the kicker is that the 'check for updates' option is not present in the 'about phone' menu
Help.

Then try via Kies or flash a custom rom.

So your first step was to create a topic rather then simply connecting and checking for update?

Right, before you get on you tech high-horse, I'm trying to help a friend who I see once a week. Sorry for being a friend and going to (in my opinion) the best place for advice in this field. Follow Wheaton's Law - don't be a ****

Iucidium you've got 622 posts and 70 thanks, that tells me you both know plenty about android to fix this by yourself and that you make a lot of really **** posts. Asking you not to make stupid threads is not being on a "tech high-horse" as you so quaintly put it, it's to deter lazy people like you from posting any old rubbish questions which anyone with two brain cells could easily work out. Clearly it's not working. Clearly you don't know what a forum is either, so I'll help you out - it's a place where ideas are exchanged. It's most certainely not a place where you can come demanding information from people to make up for your simultaneous lack of intelligence and lack of self confidence to follow through on your ideas.
It's very admirable you're trying to help a friend and there is no need to apoligize for it, but I'm sure he (like the rest of XDA users) would be much happier if you'd not use XDA as your personal answer machine, but use - wait for it - your brain for that!
I guess I broken Wheaton's Law (the law that doesn't really exist, using an internet meme to try and defend yourself is like using a chocolate fireguard in a blaze).

Well said.
Now, he's really gonna update via kies?

After flashing one of the LS8-based ROMs (can't recall which one exactly), I remember seeing an option to "activate software updates". Try looking for the Software Update in the App drawer -- is it there, can you launch it?
On an unrelated topic -- what is it with all the recent threads about something happening with people's friends all of a sudden? "My friend did something, need help"... "My friend's phone is screwed up"... "My friend damaged my phone"... Is it just me, or what?

they don't wanna be called noobz.

I noticed that also,I was going to inquire if they actually exist.
And normally the software updater runs all the time on stock,the problems stopping it,not starting it lol.

I just discovered a way to take screen shots from any screen by holding down
the Power button and quickly tap the Home button.

Actually, he did not search at all from my understanding. I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm just saying. From his OP, he states that he accidently found out how to take screen shots with the stock, none rooted rom when trying to turn off his device. Right away he posted the method up and I can bet without any search if that was a known feature for the amaze.
I'm pretty sure if you search Google, it will let you know thats a known stock feature for the amaze. But I guess you can give him credit for trying to help.
And actually, here it is. First result when I searched google
http://androidspin.com/2011/12/29/take-screenshots-htc-amaze-4g-no-root-necessary/
But now I'm just just busting the ops balls.
Thanks for the info.. but the guys are right. I gave you a thanks because you are trying.

The funny thing about this, I had no idea this was a stock feature. (Granted I used stock for about the 5 hours I had the device and didn't read the manual)
I just thought this was something X cooked in. Well you learn something new every day!

Yuck! I've always considered myself to be a Google whiz, but apparently not. So what you're saying is if the OP would have typed this into Google, the thread wouldn't be needed? You seem to be typing out of both sides of your fingers. Not to mention, if the OP is new, I wonder what seperates him from other new noobs I see ripped for the same thing.
If my first post was "how to root amaze 4g" I'm sure it would be frowned upon for posting common knowledge that we could have searched and found the same info on.
So inconsistent...

No I'm not hating at all, I was actually commending the OP, just like I mentioned previously. I was merely pointing out the fact that with a little google search things can be found very easily...this is in no way against what the op did, trying to share what he thought was usefull information for many, and probably is for many who are new to android!!

Because you require the driver files to let it be used as a mass storage, it's been mentioned before, I would suggest not using a company laptop that has it's user privileges restricted. A little searching and reading will come a long way

You need to enable MTP mode on the tablet for it to detect the tablet.
Settings-Storage-Top right corner will be 3 dots, Tap it and enable MTP mode.
I've a problem.. There isn't a choice is called 'Storage' on my tab

I just PM'd you but found my way back here...
In settings under storage I can only view what is using what and how much of what is being used. No other options are available from there.
Edit: missed the second question again... yes just got it the 29th I think, it is only $0.99 in the market right now 50% off. Seems to work great with only a couple settings programming errors like setting for starting in favorites starts me in latest but setting to start in PMs starts me in favorites (subscribed threads), I used XDA Premium but got a refund when 90% of links I tried failed and other things. Went to using tapatalk full version I got free from getjar, but it expired one morning and when searching why I found hd. Was happy to send .99 to xda. so far no problems with links or anything else. I did have to get used to the layout being different again, but it was worth it. Kinda ICS like I think in where to find things. Also free upgrade when ICS its officially released. can't beat that for.99 oh yeah a few other things if like, such as page numbers and easier access to post smiles, but still cool.
Sorry of topic....
Get back to installing drivers in your toaste.....uh PC.

Not that I'm knowledgeable about myself. I only own a wireless only tab and don't really know for sure what carrier lock means for certain. I would think that it means the company that provides the phone access to your tab, such as verizon, sprint, at&t, or whoever else it could be has locked your device. If you know who the carrier is someone might know how to unlock it, but sometimes they just cannot be unlocked at all. At least from the little I've read, thats my thinking.

But I don't understand how can they lock the download mode to not flash (import) anything into tab.
Sorry but they can. Even if you don't understand.

it's a god answer. Thank you..
Sorry for the short one liners Mod's don't like when the talk deviates and thread "ends up being a longer than it should be"
However that doesn't apply in the bedroom, If you know what I mean
ANYWAYS! yeh carrier locked tablets are those done by major telecom companies to avoid any other carrier being used on the tablet. Like a Verizon's tablet will only accept Verizon's SIM's (Sorry I'm not from UK/US to know that). Most lock it so that if ever you do break their wonderful "terms and conditions" and they revoke the tablet (<a year) from you, it's to ensure that it doesn't void the warranty of the tablet. Since rooting voids it.

Kies

Why cant i update via kies? It says my device does not support it.
I'm a noob, so please understand... xD
ok.....so i was being nice in your other thread.....
first of all, remove the ?signature? you have there.... calling yourself a noob does not excuse you from searching
which leads me to the second point.....
you agreed to a set of rules when you signed up to become a member of these forums...you should re-read those rules before you create another thread....
I have been searching and it keeps saying no results. I was just hoping someone had the same issue and found an answeer.

You both need to tone down a bit, please.
Generally speaking, do search in the thread first, say you're running AOKP ROM, then search within that AOKP thread for answer first. If generic issue like OP stated, search within this forum, i777. Then expand the search to XDA site and finally Google.
To OP, my suggestion, pls do provide more info if you want more useful help.
Saying "why kies stop working on my device" getting you nowhere since we don't know which ROM you're on, what made you say so, ......

It's too late but once again, for other readers, pls stop using zedomax thingy, seriously.
When you said "it doesn't work", how so?
+ Can't connect to PC? or
+ successfully connected but not getting the update?
Each person, each case is different.
P.S. "i have another post with a-lot more information on what is happening" is totally useless, next time post related info within the OP. No one will search your "another post" for info.
Thanks for the heads up. I cand do everything normally, but it says your device does not support updating via kies. I want sure if it was csc settings or what.

[Q] (Q) How do I fix "Firmware upgrade Encountered"

Ok so this is my second Note 2. I am not new to rooting or anything. The first note 2 I had it was really simple, this one is giving me problems. I wasn't sure what software it was on so tryed the first method for unlocking the bootloader. And now Im getting this message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again". I have tryed to restore it to stock via the methods stated in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207 and its failing at sbin or whatever. The phone will go back into download mode but it fails everytime I try to restore it. I am at a loss here. Please help (p.s I try the 2nd way to unlock the bootloader, seeing as how it might be on the new ota, it still didn't work. Thanks in advance!

You didn't check to see the software version of your phone before you went and grabbed a file that modifies your phone.
Did you ever stop for a second and think "wait a min..."
Google "alternate restore xda".

Ok the first note 2 I had was so easy root and then unlock...I didn't remember exactly what I did when It came to the note 2. even though I read through the instructions this most recent time. I know especially with an expensive phone like the note 2 to be very careful. I knew eventually I would figure it out and I would get some help after reading through the many forums on xda. I took for granted how easy it was and thats why I temp. bricked my 2nd note 2. This 2nd note 2 is working fine on eclipse based on the latest ota now. Sorry for being an ass, but I was just trying to solve a frustrating problem, like the ones Im sure you have come across.
Understood. We can move on. We're good.
I believe Kintwofan will come on here shortly and say "use the alternate restore zip". I wasn't trying to humiliate you. I wanted you to remember what you did so you don't do it again. I bet you'll always check 'about phone' now, right? Very important, my friend.

Going by your other post you are already unlocked and rooted. That is the main step you needed to accomplish.
Before doing anything, do research. There are guides everywhere on how to flash roms. YouTube has hundreds of videos that have step by step instructions on what to do.
Research so you have an idea of what is going on, then come back here and ask questions you have. It makes everything a lot easier for you and for people helping if you have a general idea of what is going on.

Boosted already answered your question, however I have one for you. Why did you capitalize the first letter of every single word?

I was wondering the same thing.
I think the lack of punctuation is worse.

I think you need to be a little more clear on what you are trying to accomplish. Are you trying to just flash a rom? Or are you trying to use a Verizon I605 on another network?
network

Honestly you need to look up everything you can about flashing because the more you know the less chance you have of screwing your phone up. Research, read, read, read, if you have questions ask them, then flash or do whatever you want to do.
You can ask for help but you at least need to do your research and reading, otherwise it makes you look lazy.

If that's what you are trying to do, the other thread you posted in has everything you need. Go back there and actually read the information. To me, it looks like you want to be spoon fed everything. That isn't going to be useful down the road when you screw something up and have no idea what to do.
