Galaxy S II 32GB Exynos/Mali - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I have one! I am an Android noob, but would like to give back where I can. Living in the wilds of Palm for as long as I have any tidbits are valued. If anyone wants/needs this ROM please post me explicitly detailed instructions on how I can capture this ROM and post/submit it to whomever. I dunno if this is a unique device given the 32GB storage, but would like to help if it is.
Just purchased today in Taiwan.
GT-I9100
2.3.3
I9100XXKG1
2.6.35.7 I9100ZSKG2-CL361136
GINGERBREAD.ZSKG2
Anything else anyone wants?

i want your phone.

Oh I've been waaaaaaaaaiting for it so bad my spleen's swolled up!
That said, I can easily get more, and would be more than willing to send them to anyone who wants/needs one. It costs NT$22490, plus shipping to you plus maybe a bit for myself as it takes honky me longer to execute on the simplest things here in non-honky Taiwan. I had to pay NT$2300 last week to get on the waiting list to get a launch day (today 8/5) phone which was refunded, but I doubt that hurdle will be needed now. They had about 20 at the head office of the incumbent telco here in my 1,000,000 person city.

What about mine ? Ive just bought 64gb version with 5"screen and love it so much. Hehehe

this post should be in q&a or general?
Pls think twice before posting in the wrong section

I posted there too a little chattier since I thought I had a unique device here. But as I say in the OP I post here to know if any dev wants me to send them this ROM. It may not be valuable, but I felt I needed to ask. I'm sure it'll be moved or deleted if people above our pay grade deem it so. As for the sale thing, again, it might be a tool for a dev, my Palm ethos demands I try to give back. It was a much smaller community and the best dev lived in a country that didn't even have access to devices.

Isn't there a external sd card in it also? It says total USB storage not sd, can't see the bottom of your phone so it could be jacked in to a external hd

Sorry, one of my all time favourite SNL bits is Richard Pryor and Chevy Chase going around that meme. I have to say I've been here for a decade. Every time I walk out in public some one manages to get a laowai off near me. So I wear honky as a badge of honour.

stop posting everywhere dude !

Stop honking

I'm not seing the top of your phone so it might be attached to a external USB through your 3.5mm jack...?

yeah hi where is teh roots at. i am buy the new evo3 but teh worthlessness will be rampant in teh phone unless it has teh roots. please to be hurry with teh root.
lmao this thread needs to be moved to the circus ..u..uhm..
I mean to 3vo gen section
hey Arnezie down at this end of the USA if you lay in the grass like your avatar pic the fire ants will serve you up at their mound
OP definitely needs to chill. Remember this a FREE service provided by world class devs. If they want to sit on their bums or if they want to release root tomorrow is up to their discretion since you don't pay for it.
Now mods please move to the general section. Only posts in DEV if you actually developed something. Smh.
By the way, why not enjoy stock for a lil before its rooted and never the same again?

I don't understand the negative responses.
Anyway, the attached file should do the trick. In it are no less than seven variants of root.
My personal suggestion is that you don't immediately settle on the first one to pique your interest. Check them all out, as they all have merits worth considering.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy your new phone to its fullest potential!
This thread made me lol. I shall now have a good day at work.
can a Mod close this thread. Really need to learn how to search... and why is it in development for....

"Public Warning" Epilogue

I'm going to post this here because this is essentially where it all started, so I figure it's fitting.
This is basically an "Ending" to everything that happened on this thread Public Warning, Jaywan is Untrustworthy which is still up, but currently locked. I decided not to ask to have it opened again because I didn't want the chance for anything to be changed in that thread. Things got interesting at Page 30, and then started getting odd around the end. (Panda lol's)
In that thread I explained how my friend, and later 2 other people came forward stating that a phone being sold by a dev here was not shipped, and all communications stopped as soon as he received the money from each person. His explanation was that he went on vacation and left the shipping up to someone else. Page 28 he made an appearance, but, in my opinion, handled the comments from everyone else very poorly. by making threats of lawsuit, Tasteless jabs at the situation, and even an admission of insurance fraud
So, that is a recap of that thread... Oh, and did I mention Polar bears?
Here is how it all ended. Rugedraw was the only one that opted to go through with the purchase of "one" of the 3 he said he was selling. This is the message Rugedraw sent me on it's arrival "Hey, man.....I received the package today. The phone is as described. Boots up fine and has a 2.3.5-based Sense 3.5 rom on it. It even came included with an OEM HTC soft rubber case. I called Sprint and verified that the ESN is clean and the phone can be activated.
I have to say: I am 100% satisfied with the phone.
Who would of thought that last week, huh?"
So, he got what he paid for. But after everything, my friend and Faugnom1 weren't interested in possibly getting jerked around anymore and simply opted to have their money returned. Which Jaywan said in the thread he would do.
Paypal was never contacted by him on neither case. On Dallas's case, he had until Nov. 8th to respond or Paypal would rule in Dallas's favor. Which they did, He has had his money returned BY Paypal. faugnom1's case required a response on the 10th. This is what faugnom1 sent me:
faugnom1:"He said he would pay me by today, the same day my paypal thing is up. So if I dont hear from him in a few hours ill finalize the case.
Me:Did you just go thru withthe PayPal dispute?
faugnom1:Yeah never heard from him again after that one day. Paypal ruled in my favor.
So, Paypal disputed in both Dallas's and faugnom1's favor and they were both repaid.
on a personal note:Thank you to the community, the support was tremendous and I tried not to make it a witch hunt, and I know some Mods look down on this type of posting, but I felt it was being ignored and the post did bring 2 more people in who had the exact same thing happen. If everything is quietly handled, it allows the person to do it again, and then after that, maybe getting banned. If it's brought into the light I believe it serves the community better. If this happened to me, I went on vacation and left it all up to someone, I would feel horrible and give out as much info as possible. I don't want people to think I'm dishonest went I am not. It's not a matter of "IDGAF!!" it's a matter of "that's not who I am and I'll clear my name".
I'm baffled on how his account hasn't been banned (disabled and reenabled 2 times though). While, sure, this may have been all some big misunderstanding by some miracle of coincidences. Other members have been perma-banned for less. He made threats in a thread that was deleted by mods, made light of the situations, and was very combative and offered no forward explanation to anyone involved, only stating "if they want an explanation they can PM me" for someone who took 3 peoples money and then lost all contact with them, coming back with that attitude is shocking to say the least.
Thanks for filling us in.

Because Jaywan's account is still NOT BANNED, I'm PM'd a MOD to see if he can take care of it (ie perma banning that fool)
I believe the mods have better things to do than permaban his retarded ass. Like banning people for posting bad pictures or threating banning for using bad language or for flaming or arguing. Cause that's much worse than some dip**** that steals peoples money and shows how much of a douche he is.
Seeing as his account still isn't banned, it's safe to say that the moderators don't care. If they would at least stay out of the MP altogether, I wouldn't mind so much. It's the fact that they pick and choose when and how they will participate that bothers me.

Tell a mod to "**** Off" = Perma Ban.

Maybe not banned... but something has happened to him since his last post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19052374#post19052374 was over 2 weeks ago. Maybe someone made good on their threat?

I noticed in the Wanting to Sell forum there is a way to leave feedback on a user. Felacio, you should leave some negative feedback on him so he doesn't try this stuff in the future.
Good to see everything got resolved man, that old thread was epic! Bear **** punch ftw!

Wait... nevermind. I just searched your ip address. I know who you are. You're supposed to be banned from the forums for trolling. I guess we'll just have to extend it. Here's some advice, don't play the moderators for fools.

So we all know who he is, and yes he is a troll with nothing better to do (obviously has no life outside of xda), but he did have a point and his remark did actually help this time (believe it or not). I did not know about the upload limit, and although Feline11 was trying to be a troll, he actually helped.
I know Binary and Whisky know how I feel about Feline11, and I still say ban his IP address and subsequent IPs that will certainly follow. Anyone that will create multiple email accounts just to troll forums has serious mental issues that should seek professional attention asap... Especially at his young age.
Thanks for calling a spade a spade Binary. Sounds like a reincarnation of another "...Jr." troll. They don't die, they multiply lol

I don't care if he helped. He's been a member for a long time and he went very far out of his way to make us think that he was a new member. He even asked a very noobish question something of the lines of "If I take the sdcard out of my phone will it break recovery?" and we both know that he knows better than that. We need honest members that intend to help eachother. Not members that are going to deceive others and turn against them like a stray dog. He was given a punishment for his action and he should be mature enough to face it and not to go around it. We don't just ban people just because we feel like it because if that was the case we would have totally different forum with totallly different moderators. We try to be fair to the members at all times. Is it too much to ask that we get treated with the respect that we deserve rather than trying to insult our intelligence? His ip address was banned and barred from registration as well as his e-mail addresses but I have a gut feeling that we'll be seeing him again. But the good thing is that we have other means to detect those type of accounts other than ip addresses and all we need to do is look. And to look all we need to do is suspect that something isn't right. Obviously in this case something didn't fit right with me and that's why I took a closer look thus unveiling his real identity. He may not have been trolling but it would have only been a matter of time until he did. Remember that the problem isn't his username, it's his attitude and that is nearly impossible for him to change otherwise he would have done so by now.

Right and that's the kind of habits that we look for. That kind of suspicious behavior or an unusual post like what popped up earlier when it drew my suspicion is what causes us to have a closer look. It's really easy for us to look for duplicate accounts. Now it IS possible that a new account can be opened up with another members previously used ip address but even in that situation is pretty rare. But what's even more rare is when he's banned on the 21st and a new account is opened on the 23rd and both members post in the same forum. I think the odds of that happening would be like being attacked by a great white shark on a Detroit metro bus that's actually running on time. Neither will ever happen and for both to happen at the same time... there's just no way. Yet he's surprised that I caught it? Naive little fool.

Wasn't trying to defend him... Believe me. I took my only infraction ever over his trolling and went many rounds with him the other night when he was banned. I'm glad he's gone and appreciate the Mods like Binary and Whisky for keeping this thread clean.
On another note, since this is useless with it being 100mb file size dealy, should we maybe just close the thread?

The Waiting Room - Off-Topic Chat

While everyone is waiting for their phones, I thought I would start a thread where we could just talk without worrying about going off-topic. If you want to talk about how other phones compare to the ATT HTC One, rant about rotten fruit and the vegetables that use them, etc, than this is the place.
Just please remember that all of the forum rules still apply here though.
welcome to XDA
Hi everybody, I am one of the mods on the team, welcome to the forums. If you post a question thread here in the General forum and notice it is missing, please check the One Q&A forum and you might just find it there.
If you posted a placeholder thread simply to gain thanks for doing nothing, you might have to keep looking...

BTW for any mods out there the picture for the main subpage for this phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2222) has the wrong picture--the AT&T one has a AT&T logo on the backside above the Beats branding. The one here doesn't.

They just had to slap that damn thing somewhere. The Sprint version doesn't seem to have a logo on the back, looks much nicer.
would it be wise for me to wait for the black version of this phone just to make sure they got all the "kinks" out?
I've been discouraged to buy htc phones when they first come out because they usually end up having some sort of issues..
last year i bought the htc one x at launch (full price too) and kept having off and on issues with wifi. I swapped it out a few times and ended up selling it at the end.
I was able to see both the SIV and HTC one in person. The build quality on the ONE impressed me. I will say though the phone was very warm when I held it. HTC one X all over again..
Part of me hates to admit it but knows that in the long run the SIV is a better investment..
Im waiting, but I dont know what to do yet. I want the black version, not the silver. Im going to buy off of contract so I will more than likely get the Developers edition... but who knows when or if they will have the black version in that. I want the phone now, but Im going to wait until the black is released...whenever that is.
Excuse me, Moderator. I had posted a thread in the themes and apps section detailing resources for a screenshot thread. It was taken down, any clue as to why?

We don't generally allow placeholder threads. None of these devices are in anyone's hands here on XDA, so how can there be screenshots here from said devices?
Thank you,

Ah, I can see that being a nuisance. Thanks!

Well, I did have an AT&T One in my hands earlier today...
Too bad it didn't have a SIM installed.

OK, activated devices in people's hands...
Seriously though, we are at least 7 days away from anyone having a One. There is no need to be in such a huge hurry to set up Off Topic threads in device forums. :victory:

XDA forum used to be about HTC phone but now time has changed and HTC become a minority.
Finally, a new off-topic section for this place.
My phone's coming sometime next week.
I really want the black version, but no one knows when it is coming. I'm tempted to go order the silver one today, but now I'm trying to decide between 32GB and 64GB.
I never hit the limit on my 32GB iPhone, but I did hit the limit on my 16GB S3

It's odd to think about. I remember my G2. That thing was awesome. Finally, I am coming back to HTC!

BTW for any mods out there the picture for the main subpage for this phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2222) has the wrong picture--the AT&T one has a AT&T logo on the backside above the Beats branding. The one here doesn't.

Apologies for this. I'll change it once I've got access to a computer in the morning
EDIT - I'm currently having some issues changing the picture right now so I've had to contact an admin. We'll get this sorted ASAP and report back when it's done.
Sorry for the delay

I have been sitting on an upgrade since November last year - tried the One X+ but returned it due to the bluetooth issues. Now I have a trip coming up and need a phone before it, so I don't have a choice - silver it is. Oh well, they both look good, just prefer the black a little.
I'll wait for the black one hopefully it comes out on launch day. The silver one to me only looks good in the front but I can see all that silver in the back getting old real quick. I have had a few black phones in the past and after a year with the white S3 I miss the sexyness and classyness of a black phone. The stealth black on the ONE is definitely bringing sexy back!
If the black is available next Friday I will be very happy. However I ordered the silver 32GB in case it isn't. I don't anticipate an exchange to be a problem.
If it's silver, it's silver.

[Q] Replace internal memory chip with a huge one?

Hi all,
I'd like to replace the internal memory with a huge one, as big as possible.
For example instead of having a 16GB or 32GB S4, to walk around with a 1TB version. How cool would that be
Is there any way the chip can be soldered off and replaced by a new one?
I'm prepared to brick my phone, I just wanna try it.
I can't seem to figure out the model number / manufacturer's SKU of the memory chip.
Any and all thoughts are welcome
I don't think it would be possible. The phone is probably setup to recognize the 16 or 32gb in the software. I'm sure that could be changed though. It would be a pain in the butt I'm sure to desolder the old one and put the new one in. Small components and very delicate. Can't use to much heat. It would be worth the trouble if it works. Would be very interesting to see if you could make it work if you find a chip.
There are quite a few reasons why this would not work.

You wouldn't be able to solder the chip as its surface mounted .
Wow thread fail. Close thread
For starters already started solder and the software implementation of that kind of storage would be difficult to do as well. So if you can solder as good as Samsung motherboard makers and right better code then Samsung and find 1 tb micro sdcard size to fit in the board then I say go for it!!
But really wow lol

As someone said, it is surface mounted, you won't be able to do that. Even removing the old memory without screwing up the board will be extremely hard.
And... 1tb? Are you serious? The maximum capacity for single chip NANDs doesn't come not even close to that.
Get yourself a 64gb micro SD, it's the only way.

The fact that you even think you could have a 1TB phone leads me to believe you have no clue how to solder something effectively.
lol
I just wanted to bump this to the top of the list again, because I think it's of such great importance. We need to find a solution to this. Forget that online storage.

The sheer complexity of micro soldering. The physical size of the NAND that the op has wishfully postulated. The interoperability of specific NAND with the mainboard. The fact that the new NAND would have to have information written to it before it would even be bootable.

Why stop at a TB? I want an yottabyte phone...my phone will BE the cloud. You all can just store your **** on it for cheap.

I have access to techs at a friend's company that could do SMT work, but I'm not about to sacrifice my phone Some said there is a software check, where would that be?
Just the practical aspect of de/re soldering a surface mount chip...
I'm a jedi master with a fine tip soldering iron and I wouldn't try this unless it was my only hope to get off a desert island or something.
My father, who I learned from, and made a good career of fine electronics repair before whole-board replacement became cheaper then component replacement, even he didn't do this, not even to replace a $5 chip with the same chip on $50,000 boards. I do remember him pulling it off exactly once tinkering with a VCR back when they were new technology. But chips were different then and had much larger pins. Surface mount chips today don't even have pins. They have contacts that are sort of glued with a conductive cement; can't be removed, period.
Best of luck to ya but understand this is a fools errand.
I bricked my phone in attempt to get 1TB, YOLO!
(pro tip, the HDD barely fit)
I don't know what's worse...the fact that you think this is possible or the fact that you're prepared to break something that probably cost you around $650 for fun.
Hi, my GS3 just died. Apparently the motherboard is broken. I really need to recover the pictures in my internal memory card. They should have been uploaded automatically to Dropbox but somehow they did not. I just had a baby and would be really sad to lose all the pictures I took over the last months.
I know this isn't exaclty the appropiate thread, but as you're talking about removing the internal memory chip, I wonder if that could be done so I could read the memory once it's not on the broken board anymore
Thanks in advance. Please don't be rude if this sounds idiotic to you, I'm just not an expert
Same problem
