[Q] New to SGSII - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone. Monday I will be purchasing a boost mobile GS2 and I'm so excited to see what I can do with it. I do need to know more on the phone though. Like I know there are several different versions of this phone and I know one rom wont work for them all. I keep seeing that the Sprint version of the GS2 is referred to as the Epic 4G Touch. Is it the same phone as boost? This rom; The Dark Angel Rises (Epic 4G Touch), is what I'm really interested in but I don't feel comfortable doing anything with this new phone until I know more. Any info would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance.
This post is no longer valid, everything I needed to know has been given to me by a dev.

[Q] Just bought a Motorola Atrix 4G, however...

Hi guys,
I just bought a Motorola Atrix 4G from Ebay. However I was wondering, what ROM should I use, since I live in the Netherlands?
I already noticed a few roms here, however, since I live in the Netherlands, I want to know which one I should use for the best performance within my country.
Can someone please advice me?
Thank you very much.
//update
Sorry I forgot to mention it's the cell phone from AT&T carrier. I already know where to unluck it, thanks to this forum!
I am really sorry if this is a dumb question, but I couldn't find anything on it on the forums for Dutch people. :S
You're welcome.

I apologize for Shaydar. That is an incredibly rude comment to make for absolutely no reason.
Make sure the ROMs are compatible with your network. I know that Canadian users were warned to avoid using certain ROMs at first.
However, I no longer own an Atrix, so you might need to some more research on the subject.

No problem, luckily there are some more decent folk around here. Oh well, I guess on every forum their are a few a..........
I never heard of a provider blocking a ROMs overhere in the Netherlands. But then again we are allowed a lot of stuff overhere, legalised soft drugs, red light district and so on. So I doubt it will going to block a custom ROM, but of course you never know.
So the ROMs, depending they aren't blocked, do work without problems with other countries, right? As a matter of fact, it doesn't matter what or who's ROM it is, the ROM itself doesn't provide the connection (phone/data/gps). Right?
Sorry if I misunderstood. Oh well; even if someone said it wouldn't work, it doesn't matter that much anymore, since the phone will arrive here within 2 days.
By the way, you returned the Atrix 4G? Didn't you like the phone or was there another reason?
I believe Canadian Atrix users have to use certain ROMs due to hardware compatibility. I'm no expert in Canadian Atrii but they've been waiting until very recently for an SPL that's compatible with their phones so I assume it's either compatibility between the ROM and the phone hardware (bootloader maybe?) or between the ROM and the network.
Sorry if I sounded rude.
All roms are just original firmware with skin and some mods.
Guess the guy sold his cell cause the bootloader was locked and some things like the real 4G, 1080p recording, and gingerbread are not yet available for the phone.
I am from france and all the roms avaible on this forum worked fine.
Got a preference for GreyBlur.
Enjoy your Atrix when you got it.
Mine cost me 425€ all costs in.

You purchased an AT&T phone so ant of the ROMs (greyblur, gingerblur, Gladiatrix) will work for you.
Just my 2 cents
sent from my better than yours Atrix ;-)

Read it just fine buddy, just stating a clear fact.

Okay thanks. After doing some researching I will be going to use the GladiAtrix2v4.2.3 (not themed) version.
Let's hope I manage to get it working properly.
On a sidenote; my phone didn't arrive yet.
One thing: don't be surprised when you don't see the earphones in the package.
At&T just don't provide them.... But there's a HDMI wire.... Weird choice...
And plug your phone to the wall-charger if it doesen't seem to boot.

Ah okay... I don't care much about earphones, though other people might. But thanks for the information.
Also thanks for the extra pointer regarding the wall-charger.
Darn... I also wanted to order the Motorola vehicle dock including rapid charger, but it seems they don't have that overhere yet or in my neighbouring countries. :S
Cleaned the thread, back on topic.
Simple question; is there a way to disable those annoying messages about updates?
I rooted and installed gladiatrix and it has been working perfectly since then. However I am not getting messages about installing an update (4.1.83.en.US).
I select "Install later" every time, however after 3 hours it's back and it's getting annoying. Or is the update safe to use on a rooted gladiatrix phone? If not, how can I disable these messages completely?

[Q] Samsung Conquer 4G Root?

Any information on rooting the Samsung Conquer 4G released by Sprint recently? I'm planning on picking one up this week as soon as the return of my broken MoPho is processed and I'd like to root it as soon as I get it..
I would be interested in this also, might finally convince my wife to ditch her palm pre for this little device
i've got one on the way, if anyone needs a hand testing anything. root would be awesome! it's a nice little device.
I'm on day 2 with a new Conquer - would love to see someone post a way to root it.
I am hoping to find a Root method for this guy also, here is the review i posted about it for my wife.
Conquer 4G Review
i've tried a lot of the general root methods, even tried just doing some experimentation, no dice. 2.3.4 might be a mofo to crack, but you'd think with source being released, someone would come up with a way.
2.3.4 has been rooted on the Motorola Photon 4g (MoPho) so doing it on the conquer should be no problem. I'd do it myself but I have no idea how.
Damn, this does not bode well. Was thinking about going with this phone over an HTC Evo Shift 4G since it has a faster processor and more RAM, but the lack of root and the apparent lack of interest in community support makes me lean the other way.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
will the z4 root app work
has anyone tried it because i get mine tomorrow and im plan on trying
no not tried yet i also need to know about it ???????
br
Still no root that i can find, ive tried all known methods with no success.
Can't seem to find anyone doing anything to this phone.
Any news from anywhere?
Is there any news from anywhere? Concerning this phone.
I would love to get my conquer rooted. Willing to test anything devs can come up with.

Good to hear and welcome.
Feel free to root your phone and flash a custom rom.
Few things first.
There is no way to s-off your phone at this time. We're working on it though.
No ETA.
NEVER ask for ETA's from developers! Since most don't like it we try to encourage others not to even ask.
ALWAYS search and read the forums before posting a new thread or even posting a reply in a thread. This will keep you from getting flamed.
Once you get a decent amount of knowledge and experience please share and contribute with the community. That makes my job (as moderator, not 24/7 tech support) a lot easier.
Enjoy!
Thanks! I dont plan on rooting/custom roming for about another month, ill take my time to warm up to understand what S-Offing is and what not. I do know my cousin bought an HTC Amaze to which he installed custom roms/kernels. I am not very demanding so i do not mind. Stock rom is ok, and i hope to see the development grow for this phone as its pretty new

Need some advice

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

[Q] from GT-N7000 to GT-N7005

Hey guys, I just swapped phones to the GT-N7005. I have been going through the forums since morning today and I cant seem to find a definite answer to which new i717 ROMs (if any) are compatible with that phone. I saw that the rooting method is basically the same as the i717. I tried an individual search in some of the most popular i717 around to check their compatibility with the N7005, no luck.
Help would be greatly appreciated at this point, thanks!
I used a few N7005 roms on my i717, so they are compatible.
Hello rangercaptain, thanks for your reply. Would that be possible the other way around? (i717 roms on n7005)
If so, is there a possibility to brick the phone and render the 4G unusable? I read in a few threads that flashing an i717 rom will mess with the modem of the phone since those 2 handhelds are a bit different.
I have been flashing devices since winmo 5 but I cant seem to figure this thing out.
I am a bit (actually a lot) confused, any clarification would be of great help!
(I am starting to regret that trade haha)
