Has anyone got Eternal Legacy working on their T-mobile galaxy s ii?
Mine is all green, and I am trying every option with chainfire3d to no avail. I'm guessing I'm going about it the wrong way.
If I'm not supposed to post things like this here, please delete this thread.
dude... a little search will get you the answer

Hello, i was wondering if i could get some help with answering a few questions i had. In advance i have been using smartphones for some time now but due to lazyness i never really got into rooting and modding them. So as while i am by nature a techy, i still need some things explained. Just some basics about the process, the terminolgy, like CMO9, FD24 so on and so forth, and well just anything about rooting. Im just looking to absorb as much as possible about it so i know what im doing.
The wiki page may be a useful resource.

Yes that is helpful thank you. I still had some questions concerning exactly what something like CM09 is, i didnt find any references to it on the wiki pages for kernels or roms.
To go from not doing anything with phone modiciation to litterally using ODIN to one click my stock to fd26, and then try to play catch up is a lot of info at one time lol.

CM9 refers to cyanogen mod, its an open source android variant that is developed on multiple phones. Never tried it on this phone yet. Their website is http://www.cyanogenmod.com/ and our thread is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563658

Addiction starts this way Take your time and read, read, read before you do anything else.
Also search, search and do some more searching... using the search tool at the very top of any XDA page. It's the best tool to find out about something specific. Be super careful, making absolutely certain that anything you plan to use on your phone is for the E4GT (Epic 4G Touch). If you accidentally flash the wrong thing it can go very wrong.
So, like SomeGuy said, do a LOT of reading.

This is exactly right I spent about 3 days doing research before I flashed and in the end I still ended up almost bricking my phone. I accidentally flashed a ROM for the gt I9100 and the computer would not recognize the phone and in recovery I could not aces my SD card but luckily I was able to Odin back to stock!
Ya i was able to flash it successfully. Got 4.0 on it with fd26 and nova launcher instead of touch wiz, because thats junk in my opinion. Seems to be working just fine, no sms, gps or 3g issues thus far. Video is kinda glitchy on playback within the phone doenst scale right to the orientation of the phone
Hi,
I've purchased a a Samsung Galaxy 551 (I5510) (Middle east region) about a year ago and i was running android 2.2 fine for a while. When the Gingerbread 2.3 update came out i tried installing a European ROM because the ME ROMs weren't updated, it worked fine but had a weird glitch that if the screen was off (phone still working) for a while it would be very dark when turned on afterwards, it looked like this video:
Youtube > /watch?v=Kwll8ZfgaD0
P.S. I didn't make the video, just linking it because its the same issue
it would randomly work again after a couple of lock-screen off-unlock cycles, then happen again randomly when it's off
I tried a number of GB Roms but to no avail, then finally the latest eu roms (I5510XWKPJ) fixed the problem, nowhere to be seen anymore.
After that i tried installing Cyanogen mod for the phone and the problem came back with different degrees:
1. Cyanogen 7 - normal boot, screen gets dark after being off for a while.
2. Cyanogen 9,10 - show samsung logo at start, screen gets dark as soon as the cyanogen logo appears and continues to be
Any help on what would be causing that especially on the newer CM builds? and why it doesn't happen at all in (I5510XWKPJ)
Thanks in advance,
bump
Bump, any ideas?
I just realized that i should have made this thread in the ""Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking" thread, i will remake it there so feel free to close this.
Instead you could ask the mod to move it there....
They might consider doin if they feel it's worthy

Yes, I definitely would have, but since the OP already created a second thread there, this one is closed.
Hello all,
Long time lurker, just wanted to share an issue I had.
I've flashed nearly every ROM that is out there since I got my SGS3 and have never had any GPS issues, however this weekend I used it without a problem but Tuesday all of a sudden turning it on and off still produced nothing...not even the increased battery drain from having GPS on.
Here's what I did in hopes that it can help someone or at least give some knowledge as there wasn't a lot out there when I searched:
1.) Restored a previous Nandroid that I knew had a working GPS --- Result = FAIL
2.) Searched XDA and Google...found a video with some USSD codes for the dialer, etc.. ---- Result = FAIL
3.) Pulled battery and sim card, etc... --- Result = FAIL
4.) Flashed Wicked as I know that is a stable and highly used ROM. Everything great but still no GPS. ---- Result = FAIL
5.) Found a suggestion about clearing cache in google framework, Maps and uninstalling Maps updates. Result = FAIL
**however Play Store wouldn't let me update Maps when I rebooted as it said it wasn't compatible with my phone. No clue why.
6.) Finally I decided to do Triangle Away and Chainfires unrooting procedure to get back to unrooted stock. ---Result = SUCCESS!
Not sure what about it made GPS come back, however the next step will of course be to root again and see if there are any issues.
Hope this helps someone who ends up in my situation. Feel free to PM if you need more details.
Thanks to all
Edit: Just as an FYI -- when I rooted again, GPS was still back and I've had no issues since.
Thanks man, I like threads like these because you never know when you may need them. Same issue for me. On CM10 ROMs,I have trouble locking onto GPS, and the fix for me has been downloading GPS test and running that before using something like navigation.it's a minor inconvenience but it works great
Overall, if you have something borked, no matter what rom you use... no matter how many times you wipe... odin back to stock, should fix it always.

True, but honestly, that doesn't always work. I have a second SGS3 Pebble Blue 32GB, and it won't play nice with Lean Kernel/Ktoonz, unless it's the touchwiz based kernels, whereas my white 16GB runs all of them flawlessly. They were rooted and booted the same way, and they both have the same GPS issue.
Out of curiosity, what's the chainfire way of going back to stock?
Also, do we have any guides here/on youtube that detail how to odin back to stock. I'm gonna give it a go on the blue one again/cross my fingers hoping I made a mistake, hence why I want a guide lol! *Searches*
thanks for the info jpk17!
saved us a lot of time here for whoever has that issue in the future.
can you provide the link to Chainfire's unroot procedure?
thanks!
Good to know but youcould have got straight to the point rather than writting five pages of useless stuff then saying something that to be honest is not any special invention anyways.

I love this thing!
The only time my gps was ever messed up was when i used a sprint leak JB rom and had the gps turned off. Flashed a couple roms after no gps whatsoever. Odin'ed with 2 or 3 different versions and still couldnt get the gps back.
Finally I flashed another JB rom based on the sprint leak and turned GPS back on and everything started working again. Lesson learned on using sprint leaks lol.
Had op's problem myself before, and full wiping and Odin'ing back to stock actually didn't work.. what did work though was after full unroot, doing tmo ota update.
Who knows, this info could help someone out as well..

My sincere apologies that my 15 line post was too much to handle.
I'd also like to thank you for such a nice response to a first time poster that was clearly just trying to help the community for an issue that is rare and relatively undocumented based on my searches.
I shall go back to normal... lurking and wading through useless posts like yours to find those with relevance...

Hey man props for the post it'll probably help someone out, assuming they are respectful enough to search and try things before posting. Which I also want to commend you on. Most like to post frantically wanting help before bothering to search or try anything. So gj man

Confirmed working
This fixed my GPS too. Triangle away and then flash stock NON ROOTED firmware and GPS will come back...NOW hopefully this fixes my weird battery life too. About to root again and shoot right back to PA android and see if it works there. Wish me luck
Edit. Yup it works. Went straight to pa android

Ok so i finally unrooted using above steps. Still no gps. Tried GPS Toolbox, GPS Test and the google navigation. Nothing.
What Im seeing is that the little Icon in the upper status bar never shows. Like ether it doesnt even see a SAT, or the receiver in my phone isnt even turning on.
If i cant figure out, i guess ill go back to Tmo....
Thanks for the help.
What I did was go to a stock ics based Rom then triangle away and then I followed the site that op posted. The download was ridiculously slow. Took like an hour for 690mb. That should do the trick. Do it in that order

HAHA funny, i actually did it EXACTLY like that. I tried a stock ICS ROM from wildchild and nothing. Then Triangle away, ODIN flash to stock with un root and factory reset and nothing.
If i wasnt getting lock, that would be different. But im not getting the little Icon in top left corner.
I have a friend with a Stock Sprint phone and his works in same room.
Thanks
Sucks cordell... Sorry you're not getting it working.
Only thought I had if I followed you correctly is you said you went to a wildchild stock. Maybe you need to go back to the older stock from the link that worked for osmosis and I?

I went to wild child stock just before i unrooted and went to Stock Tmo form the guide above. I didnt think that would have made a difference.
Im not gonna root and go to store, so ill go to store and see what they say.
The reason i went to the wildchild stock based ICS rom was hope that I wouldnt have to unroot....
Thanks.
EDIT>>> Just did the OTA from Tmo and back .. Yes GPS back,
Thanks minigame
