15.reboot.
any step i miss out and wrong ?

@~larlynnz~
not insulting you or anything, but out of curiosity what hp phone was that 

personally if it was me i'd probably do the same. i'd have a place holder android 2012 phone (free) until 2013 or 2014 for the next phone which would last a good 5 years better compared to 2012 as good as it is :}

same haha 

some games draw more processing power than others. esp if the game is not coded well. when processor is in load, of course it will produce heat. so it's normal.

i played a stupid board game can drain more battery than modern combat 3. poorly coded apps.

so, u play 1 hour.. u expect to only drop 1%?? 100% -> 99%??
30% for an hour of FIFA looks very normal to me.

1. Batt life is great with this phone.

2. correct me if i'm wrong, AMOLED burn in issues are very normal for every amoled screens that are old. usually AMOLEDs will start to burn-in after 3-5 years.

Nearly every one using it including me. Stock one is very good but I did customized it a little and it was great!
Battery life is great without much motivation. However there are many custom Rom that offer great battery life.

Added on September 22, 2012, 8:02 pmGuys all you something. I send myself am attachment which contains zip file. I try to save it via email but it says I can't open such zip file as I don't have the right application to open it. How to solve this?

do u find CWM Manager and Super SU under application?

if there's no superSU installed = no root.

Last time when i first rooted my phone, it had superSU but no CWM. I didn't realise it until a few weeks later when i needed to use CWM.

What i did was i just re-root my phone using the same method, and my phone finally had CWM.

So what i'm trying to say is that i suggest you should try rooting again

Good to hear that.  So far i only install wanamlite and it rock stable and battery friendly. You may wait for other user input before you decide. Wanamlite serve me well.

First,  pressing power+home+volume down button brings up into.'download mode', where this is the first time u root, it's using stock recovery.  Odin is the windows program where u used to flash Odin recovery replacing the stock recovery

1. First open the Odin in windows
2. Go into download mode ''press the three button''
3. Once in the screen should write 'downloading' then connect the usb. Then Notice the windows Odin, there will be a box that turns green, hence connected.
4. Then choose CF-root in pda then start.

Something like that. The Odin windows must turn green only successful connected. 

If cannot try to root again

To Rick. Just try to root again. Sometimes you need to do it twice. It happened to me too

just got my 1st android phone from digi to replace my iphone =D
anything i should know/do/check =)

yerp, that a very bad crack, go SC try to fight for it,

just flash it, it doesnt care if you root or not, after your flash it using Odin, you will loose root,

p/s: NEVER go and wipe you data directly after flashing using odin, install CF -root first then do the wipe if you want,

direct wipe after flashing odin will wipe your internal SD card files too

Ok thank you silentser bro.

B4 flash it, I should backup my data with titanium backup (free) right?

then start flash. I will try to use this method: thanks to Jayce Ooi sifu

after I flash, what should i do?

Can you roughly tell me what should I do b4 and after I flash the official JB?

Sorry for questioning much. =/

before flash, backup,with titanium or nandroid or both, make sure your ALL contacts are all sync to google, and your sms have been backup using sms backup and restore app, and your whatsapp chats are backup.

get your cf-root ready (the one that need to flash using odin, not the CWM type),get your firmware ready.

there are 2 way to do here,

1. no wipe (im assuming this firmware would not auto wipe, and the firmware could boot without wipe).

open odin , open up the firmware into PDA slot-> phone boot download mode -> stick in the usb ->flash -> wait phone to boot**** -> flash cfroot -> done

***if after like 10 minutes your phone still stuck at the samsung logo follow number 2
2. wipe. (recommended by people alwiz)

open odin , open up the firmware into PDA slot-> phone boot download mode -> stick in the usb ->flash -> wait phone to boot then shutdown/if stuck at logo pull battery out -> flash cf-root ->boot recovery -> wipe data ->reboot ->restore your data using titanium/nandroid

ohh i see... but aren't they suppose to have the power to authorize it? they are samsung sc what..
