These are what i've done:
- installed kies
- installed driver from kies
- factory reset sgs2

Info:
* i even reformat my Windows 7 (i thought it gets conflict with my previous SGS driver) and started everything from fresh but still fail
* Kies detects my phone, i can browse contacts etc. but Odin still fail to detect in download mode
* my phone is a branded O2 Ireland. Sim free
* i've tried on other PC but still fail

while u r in Odin , go to your hardware manager and look if there is any drivers which is marked with a "?"

Did u restart pc after installing your drivers ?

I've followed ur tips. Unfortunately no '?' And i've restarted my laptop after installed Kies.. thanks for your help

Try using a Windows XP PC, seems there is an issue with ODIN and Windows 7 64Bit. Other users have complained as well.

I will try on Win XP. Thanks bro!

First check :  Miccrosoft.Net Framework 4 must be installed , download at :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/deta...&displaylang=en

If you have this already install : NEXT
KIES is still a funny piece of software ; it is unreliable and cases of PC failing to detect phone is common. Just google this issue and you will see many of such cases. You can try this :

Install the proprietary Samsung USB phone drivers : Google for this exe file : SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.3.350.0.exe

If still cannnot detect, than need a longer way : install Google default USB phone drivers
Download android sdk at : http://developer.android.com/sdk/
Run the exe file. Remember where you extract the files. Locate SDK manager - run it. You will have few dialog box instruction , follow it till you are a prompted to install the packages. Minimum select Android 2.0 and above all files - the download of these could take up to half hour or more
Restart computer

Thanks uncle! Never thought of this solution. i will try n let you know.. !

Thanks guyz for the guidance. I feel very welcomed in this thread notworthy.gif

you have to extract the 'ini' file too from the zip file.. not just Odin.exe.. place both files in one folder

anyway, what apps is there we can use to CUSTOMIZE our phone? i have no info on this n it will be great if u guys share it out.
Now i only know WIDGETLOCKER as posted by forumer juz now sweat.gif

try 'Smart Taskbar' app.. its been my fav app since Froyo 2.2 .. great task switcher and you can launch any app no matter what you are doing on your phone!

i plan on keeping my SGS2 for 2 years laugh.gif same like my 5800XM now. 2 years already time to retire

+1 .. i think SGS2 will be much longer in my pocket compare to my old SGS .. the speed, camera, gps, memory, graphic, performance are included in one package, just like what i needed since looong time ago.. (since era HTC Touch Pro) tongue.gif

Agree with noobi3

Arc's camera lense is better than sgs2. But i love amoled screen more than the picture quality. And sgs2 camera is good enuff for daily use. Idont even mind to use it as travelling camera, either for photos or video

hello guys

im probably getting my phone tomorrow(today.haha)
so im wondering which custom ROM is the best(in ur opinion and why?)
i've read all the custom roms and what they have to offer and i think Cognition sounds really good. and also VillainRom.
does any of these roms have unlocking methods other than the stock(swipe the screen one)?

thanks in advance! =D
*
So far as i know, no Rom can offer unlocking screen other than the default one (yet) but you can use 3rd party app for that. Here's a snapshot for your reference

How to set Widget Locker to run permanantly ? I set it as default but when i clear the ram .. it goes back to the original lock screen ..
*
widgetlocker is an app, so when you clear ram, it will kill the app too.. i recommend you not to clear ram.. i never used it. but if you want, i suggest to use 3rd party app like 'Advanced task killer' where you can customize which apps not to kill (wahh, i use a lot of word kill, feel like a hitman tongue.gif)

Thanks for the reply . Flashing ClockworkMod Recovery on SGS II by Chainfire << is this the one ? So the jig is useful for a noob like me right ? im a HTC user for almost 5 years but i never root before thinking that its too dangerous to do so ~.~

I think you worry bcoz htc has a locked bootloader. Rooting on htc will void warranty. I used to have Desire.thats why i choose Samsung. We can flash to stock Android to send back for warranty.. the jig is to fix those who have bricked his device (phone not booting up at all)

Search in google: 'xda setcpu'.. click the result link to download the apk file in xda forum.. after install, set some profiles i.e max frequency to 800mhz when the screen off
