Ohh.. thanks for the tip.

Now I want to flash the stock kernel to remove the yellow tri. now odin telling me "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)". Rebooted the phone and tried again but to no avail. Hmm... is it possible I try it in "download mode" instead?
*
If you are trying it using CWM from phone , redo it using Odin - flashing stock kernel just take few seconds and reboot back about less than a minute. I never bother to remove the triangle these days as I keep changing roms ; see no purpose.

Found this from another thread in regards to access "paid apps" in marketplace.

As I understand paid apps are restricted by the phone identifying itself as using a certain telco. How will this work with WiFi-only tablets? Will they be able to access paid apps without rooting in Malaysia?

so is it true? can anyone second the statement?
*
NOT true. My Iconia can access the paid apps market - it is on WiFi only. Not necessary to root . If root - additional option to install market enabler to fake telco

hi,

sorry again if the question is asked over and over. but seriously i am quite confuse. the method of rooting GS2 is quite different with GS. Just rooted my GS2 with SuperCurio-4. And now when reboot, there are "exclamation mark".

The question is;
1. to remove this exclamation mark, just re-flash to stock kernel, even i just root it?
2. the root will not gone if we re-flash to stock kernel?
*
Root remains except the custom binary counter...but this can be easily resrore to base 0 by just using the JIG ( see page 1 accessory to know what is JIG)

Correct, just flash back any stock rom . If you use SuperOneclick - you can select unroot. If you use one click root solution - you can select unroot when running it

That's quite unfair. Especially to other phone models.
How come can get such privilege?

I think it is a mistake made by the mods

Welcome to all new users. In just 2 days I have recorded more than 60 new users till 8pm last night

Some tips for new users
Please spend time read page 1 to know more about your new baby. Those interested in root n ROM flashing checkup the links I have posted

Quick guide
If you just want to root only flash supercurio this is the easiest way
If you want to flash a new ROM start with a simple one. I recommend litening as it will not wipe your data. Get a feel of the process before moving to others. I will not recommend villian for a newbie but if you want orangepillow has posted tutorial. All these summarized in page 1.
As a STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE, ALWAYS clear your dalvik cache, cache partition before flashing a new ROM. This step will not remove your data
The ROM cook will tell you whether ROM is flashable thro odin or using recovery. If you don't know what this men's reader page 1 I have post link explaining this
Always do a ROM backup from recovery before flashing new ROM just in case

1800? Why so low? Even on stock rom, i get 3000+ on quadrant due to stock 1.2ghz.. i just changed to 1.4ghz just now for gaming (brothers in arm) now back to 1.3ghz.. i'm using villain 1.4 cf-root KE7 kernel
*
True. Stock ROM without any tweaks should give you at least 3200. Run the test at leat 3 times to get the best scores

Uncle Benny, I remember before this that you saying you will  clear your dalvik cache, cache partition once a week right? what is the benefit of doing that?  laugh.gif

Just like cleaning your room . Over time the cache build up with lots of redundant files and is useless taking up memory. Doing it from recovery is a sure guarantee cleanup unlike using 3rd party apps which efficiency is doubtful.

QUOTE(ohmlawx @ Jun 24 2011, 12:46 AM)
i m quite confuse here.

last time when i flash SGS,

1. 1 file no need to use pit
2. 3 file use pit with tick re-partition

is it no need to do so for SGS 2?
*
The pit file basically tells Odin how to divide the partitions (for formating) and also where certain components go when flashing them individually.
For example .pit file tells Odin to program modem.bin file to MODEM "partition", zImage to KERNEL "partition", etc.

One very important piece of advise. If you guys wish to flash any rom from www.samfirmware.com ALWAYS remeber to download and tick the PIT file in Odin. Many users has gone straight to flash ignoring it and end up bricking their phone. Roms at samfirmware are basically copies of the official rom - and when we flash such roms from there, your phone will be wipe clean. When you select pit, automatically repartition is selected. I always advise new users, flash rom from samfirmware.com only if you know what you are doing

Rom cooks when they develop their roms, how the internal memory is to be partition is already build in , so normally you need not select PIT or repartition

Most rom cooks when they need you to flash through odin , will package it as a tar file. So you just select this tar file as PDA file in Odin. Once a while you will come across some rom cooks who will package their rom as a zip file ( extracted it shows 3 files - PDA, Phone, CSC) which need to flash through odin. Normally for such files - you need to select at least the PDA file to flash; the phone and CSC file is optional. But no harm selecting it too if you want to try his proposed combination. I have also said before you can flash a rom as a rojak combo - use PDA from one cook, use the phone and csc from another . Again, if you are a newbie - be safe, stay away from trying your combo unless you really understand the features behind each of them

the boot animation takes so long dude! i had to remove just now im trying again now. see how its goes.
*
That is simply because you failed to follow the first golden rule of flashing : ALWAYS always clear your cache partition, dalvik cache before flashing any new rom, even just a simple update zip. Many rom cooks assume you know this basic rule, just like you put on your clothes when you wish to go out and not go out naked

how come the page noobi3 gave the XXKF2 so small size while the one from samfirmware is so big?
*
Remind me , why yours so big, mine so small ??

Anyway, samfirmware.com is a copy of the whole official rom ( PDA,PHONE, CSC erc ) . Most rom cooks just give you a repackage of the rom - the PDA file. They normally leave the phone/CSC and others intact. As pointed above post, stay aware from samfirmware.com unless you understand what you are doing

great explanation..i understand a little bit of ODIN right now..thanks benny.. thumbup.gif

Another point I forgot to mention. There are cases of flashing roms from samfirmware successfully without even selecting PIT. This is because the PIT file matches that of the phone. However if you have been changing roms, the pit file could have changed. Most rom cooks never state what type of PIT file they use. So when you flash from samfirmware always choose PIT file . Flashing roms from samfirmware will also remove all rooting done

You said crash/bug ???

If you are referring to the skin, I don't think it is available in the stock rom. Only in most cook roms. I could be wrong as I was only on stock rom a day only ; cannot remember whether it is has such.

YES - Flashing unofficial roms, rooting, changing kernels will void warranty

This will get you into RECOVERY mode not hard reset.

This is how you hardreset :


Software Reset

1. Go to the Home screen.

2. Go to Settings.

3. Select Privacy.

4. Select Factory Data reset.

5. Select Reset Phone.

6. Select Erase Everything.

You devices should be resetting now.

Hardware Key Reset

1. Switch off the phone. Pull out the battery if you device is not responding.

2. Now press and hold down the volume up + volume down button. Then press and release the Home/Power button.

3. Next the phone will present a menu for you to choose, select Clear Storage.

4. Confirm if you want to go ahead.

Alternative

Also you could try to key in *2767*3855# and press dial.
