download the 2G-3G switcher to quickly enter that specific settings page. It'll save you a lot of time

I recieved this PM and my reply to him based on Darky/Chainfire threads. Have posted it in FAQ on roms part2. This was discussed before several threads back. Might be useful for new users to know

I am confused about the JIG - does it really hide all my reflashing records and Samsung Service Center cannot detect the flashing done ?

Answer: The JIG just resets your flash counter and remove the yellow triangle during first bootup
What does this counter do exactly?

It's very simple: it counts the number of times you flash a custom ROM or kernel on your SGS II, so the guys over at Samsung know of it when you return the phone to them for any kind of problem you may have (this is done so they can say whether you've voided your warranty or not). Even using Odin to get back to stock won't help you and will let the counter go up by one
The good news is that the counter can be reset by using one of those jigs we all know very well

No, unfortunately Samsung has very clear in mind what it's doing.
It seems there is a second counter, which counts the number of times the custom flash counter has been reset, and the bad news is that its position/folder has not been discovered yet.

So, it seems all the future SGS II owners and flash addicts over here will have a hard time returning their SGS II to Samsung after having flashed something... I hope someone over at XDA will get everything sorted out (Chainfire is already working on it).
Speaking about XDA, here's the source of this article: XDA-SGS II flash counter.

As I have said many times before, resetting your flash records, installing back your stock roms/kernels to claim warranty is just to make yourself happy and confident when you submit in a warranty claim. The Samsung Tech if he wishes can pursue to void your warranty claims by just accessing these hidden files/logs. I have always being successful in claiming rooted/flash cook rom sets as I always believe in honesty. Why try to hide. , and don't bluff your way thro. Tell the truth and do not be surprised you get rewarded by the FOC services rendered

I second ^^i have tried lite'ning, batista, and now cognition. Cognition so far has been the best of the lot. Of course I was quite happy with the other roms too but Cognition has fewer bugs and zero lag on the home button press which to me is quite important.

can we use this way to root? http://www.techofweb.com/technology/root-a...ingerbreak.html

just go to voice talk> off driving mode (if on in green color)> then tadaa u remove that annoying voice haha

GINGERBREAK cannot work on SGS II retail sets. It works only on the initial proto sets. Once release to market, Samsung has lock it

Refer page 1 post #5, I have listed the options for rooting. Just choose the one you need among the various scenarios. You need not refer anyplace anymore. I have done the hard work and give you the solution in page 1 post#5

=.="
What's tgra?

=.="
a graphic chipset

How can i download winrar files from fileserve?

New owner joining. Yattaaa!!!!!!

Yeah, been using this rom for few months. i can say it is quite stable with good battery life

speedmod is a kernal

the main purpose of a jig is to revive your bricked sgs2, erasing the counter is just a bonus, and yea got second counter

Update from Cognition 1.5 to 1.5.1
With Cognition its easier to update Rom, unlike Villian Rom which will wipe data.

Yes Cognition is more simple and snappy.

Good thing about Villian is more to tweaks... miss the Desktop version tweak !!!

then what's rom and kernel?

Read only memory? kernel reminds me of the corn kernels. lol

[Antenna Problem]

HI All,

I got this Samsung Galaxy S2 (Original-I suppose from Celcom Blue Cube) just last Saturday,

So far I experience 3(three) times of "cutoff" from Celcom. There is NO LINE at all, not a single Bar. I have to restart my phone, then only can get back the line.

What happened ????? Pls advise, on how to fix it.

Thank you thank you

ever considered getting a cheap prepaid card from say... digi or maxis. and then see if you still have this problem? could be just celcom issue...

Kernel is BIOS for your phone.

ROM is a package of UI + Kernel + Modem

Good thing about Android is you can customize to build different combination of ROM, kernel, modem in your phone.

hmmm... good way to explain. errrr... then what's modem? why different type of modem?

ok..now u're giving me more questions.

What's BIOS? UI?

Thank you so much for your patience
