Hmm, im not sure then, that app i suggested is the only infrastructure wifi tether we got did u try the adhoc one called wireless tether its a green logo and on the market for free..
But from my experience with my ds is it finds it on both of these apps but doesnt connect the security is wrong or something..
Sorry i couldnt be more help..

Yeah I did the green one that one didn't work. But the one you showed me works just has a dns error. Idk how do mess with the security settings I will play around with it. Thanks though

So I got it to work. You can't let it automatically choose a dns swerver u have to manually type it in the primary and secondary for it to work properlu. Thanks for all your help.

oh cool glad it worked, like i said, have a scheduled backup with titatanium back up to backup your app data and apps and games only in case you get corrupted system data forcing you to wipe data and reflash

Searching the forum

Ok so I'm trying to search just the epic4g area of the forum with my xda app. But I can't seem to figure out how. I have a bunch of questions that the wiki didn't answer but I'm sure someone has asked so I don't want to again. But. When I search I get stuff from other deviece forums as well. Any ideas
Thanks. And is there a thanks feature?

Buy Titanium back up from the Market. Get busy box from with in the app. Do a batch back up of apps and data. Export contacts to SD card if they are not in your Google account. Once you root make sure you do a NANDROID back up. Flash way. Go to Market d/l Titanium "free" the license will automaticly turn it to pro it. Batch restore. Done.

Ok, question 1 is odd, if you an issue updating and all you have done is rooted and changed to the Clean Kernel, its possible you got a bad download. Your best bet is to PM dRockstar on that one. Its really strange if it shows updates available and won't, that's some random issue
On to question 2...definately make a nandroid backup. Power down the phone. Hold volume down, camera button, and power on all at the same time. Scroll down with volume key and select backup/restore. Then select backup and let it do its thing. It takes a few minutes but then you have a backup to rely on BUT its always best to take out your SD card and backup everything to your PC. Nandroid backups aren't always perfect and sometimes if you use one it may not work. If you flash a ROM, its best to install apps fresh but you can (after flashing ROM) boot into recovery, scroll to backup/restore, then advanced, then restore data only. Some ROMs may give you fits that's why its always best to have a saved version of everything on your PC as well

Apps bought from the Amazon Market can only be updated through the Amazon Market. The markets are separate and do not share purchase records. You'll need to have Amazon, and update through it, which is, unfortunately, a little slow on pushing out updates. Rest assured, they will come. Dev pages like SetCpu will post the app free sometimes, but the version in the market is donation-ware. If you want to get it updated for free, you'll have to go back to the page you originally got it and get a new one.

A couple things here:
What CWM are you on? If you have to update it for a new rom, be aware that the Nandroid backups will not be compatible, and you'll have to odin back to re-use a backup, should something go wrong. I don't know about Swiss Cheese, you'll have to read the posts in it's thread to know if it can flash without losing data. I've posted a rom called RandomROM that is based off of SRF 1.1.0, which can flash over another version of SRF safely, but may not work properly in other situations.

Thanks for the info on the updates
And I'm on cwm 2.5.1
I have a nandroid backup, a mybackup back up. Ill get that other one as well and ill see how things go and then try n flash a rom

[Q] help new to this and galaxy s2 tmo

hey,
well title says it all, i got directed to come to xda for help. ive had smartphones but never have done or seen a phone rooted. i just picked up the gs2 coming from sensation and my hotspot is now locked down to having to pay 15 a month. was told by rooting you pickup free hotspot and sometimes paid apps. can someone provide me with download links and instructions step by step so i dont mess up my phone. thanks in advance.
ps its the t989 gs2
also i wwant to delete all these garbage bloatware apps always running to

Check the stickies in the general section. i think there's a thread in the development section too.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Just a heads up. Its against the forum rules to ask for paid apps for free. Not trying to be a jerk or anything.

I found that the method mentioned in the stickies in the Dev section pretty clear and straightforward, its noob friendly unlike the MTG4G which are a great mess. Once rooted, install titanium backup and freeze/delete the tethering manager app and you should be able to tether for free. You can get free apps while being on stock........
The link for free apps is in there somewhere, find it

I thought he meant he can now use paid apps that require root... Ahem right?

Here it is
To flash the kernel:
-Boot into recovery
-Wipe Cache
-Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Install zip from SD Card
-Reboot and let it sit for a few minutes for the OS to load up completely (about 5 minutes should suffice)
-Reboot once more and install SetCPU which can be found in the Market for $1.99 or free here
Once installed open it up and AutoDetect Speeds and then select form the drop down menu SmartassV2 and you should be set
Did you find the ICS theme?

im sorry im new to this... did first root and flash yesterday...i did odiin then flashed the file on juggernaut in dev section.... to i need to do this kernel to? or is it just like a add on to go with it? also whats a good overclock setting?

A kernel is pretty much the main computing core of an operating system. If you're using the one that came with Jug's rom, you will experience some lag and random reboots. Eugenes kernel gives you better performance and battery life (if you wanna think about it that way). Just flash it, you wont regret it.
It's not hard at all either, pretty much the same process as flashing a ROM but instead you flash another zip file.

do i only need to wipe those cache? and not a full wipe as when i flashed the rom?

Correct. Wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot then wait like 5-10 mins then reboot again

If the only thing you wabt to do is tether, then (only if u jave a 5gig or more plan) you can call tmo and they have a promotion going on right now that will give u tethering for free. Just give them a call, in the auto system say plans, then hit 0 and tell the rep about the promotion.

Flash New ROM / Install Apps in 10mins

I was reading through the threads over in the Samsung Galaxy S 3 forum today. I came across a very interesting thread about how to flash a new ROM and install all your apps in 10 mins. I will place a link to the thread below for everyone to have a read.
I was curious if anyone has tried this method? I would think this would be the perfect way to flash Nightlies if you use CM. Would save a lot of time. Almost seems too easy to be true.
Let me know your thoughts or experiences with this procedure. Thanks.

Yeah, I've done that in the past as well - I figured it was something along the lines of the Advanced Restore -> Restore Data. I'd only recommend it if you're flashing between two similarly based ROMs though.
It does work pretty well.

If you're going to restore your data right after flashing, why even wipe it in the first place? An even faster way is to just flash the rom with only wiping the caches.. To me it seems like it's the same thing.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Seems a little different. One's a dirty flash and you are just flashing a new ROM right over the old one. The other is doing a clean install of the newer ROM and then restoring data and settings. Like I said I haven't tried it myself. Read about it and was intrigued. Thanks for your response.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

Restoring data is the same as not wiping... So why don't you just skip the wiping all together..
Theoretically you can just flash similar Roms without wiping but then you risk the chance of having bugs..
If you don't wipe then how can you ever be sure that it's the rom that is buggy or if it's caused by the data you restored..
I like my Roms the way I like my women..... Clean and smooth

I've always done a clean install and wipe beforehand. Probably will still follow the same procedure. Thanks.

I'm the same way, I gotta flash the newest version to have the latest and greatest. It's been slow at work lately, I normally wait for the morning and start doing my install and setup at work LOL. With the wife and kids at home it's hard to find time sometimes in the evening to do all the setting up, troubleshooting/testing etc. I really enjoy it though, it has become a hobby for me at least. I want to learn more about Linux and Android though so I can do some of the developing myself.

no lol. best reasons to root right now are good phone backups, decent file explorers, and interface modifications. There are a few other niche reasons to root but a regular user should be just fine. this phone's really good.

The Note 2 runs great without rooting.
And its nice that you can disable unwanted apps as mentioned above.
And if u dont like the main UI (touchmywiz) then just download another launcher like Nova or golauncher.
Problem with most Roms is there is usually something that doesnt work...thats just part of it.

Yes stop floundering and just root the Note. Its painless and mostly one click. With Triangle Away, you can easily wipe the flash counter if you ever need to unroot the phone and return it for warranty or whatever.
I rooted for the ability to:
1. Use Titanium Backup to backup app data and freeze/uninstall bloatware && system apps (TB alone is worth rooting.)
2. Use ADblock. (Seriously refuse to EVER look at ads on my phone)
3. CUSTOM ROMS. (The biggest reason to root. My phone has JEDI-ROM which is a BEAST of a ROM. Unlimited Multi-window with ANY app, the FORCE optimizations, and BATTERY LIFE. My N2 was getting about 14 hours from a full charge on stock rom, now it gets on average of 24-30 HOURS on one charge. I don't even charge it during the night anymore.)
ATT won't be sending out any updates for the phone until a couple of months at least. Will Multi-Window even be included? Who knows. If it is included, it WONT be compatible with any app like the modded version.
If you make a list of WHY NOT, and WHY SHOULD you root, the WHY NOT list will be alot shorter. The flash counter is really the only "permanent" change you are making to the phone that will void warranty, but like I said there is a Root method which doesnt trip the counter, or you can use Triangle Away to wipe it.

I was happy un-rooted for the past 3 to 4 weekst, but i needed root access so I could use Root Explorer to delete a file so I could get flash to work with Dolphin Browser.
Sunday I rooted and flashed Jedi 3.2 ROM. I also had to flash a different Kernel so it would recognize my SanDisk 64GB Ultra MicroSD card. Now I'm enjoying Multi-View and no bloat. Hard to say but my battery live seems improved. That could be just a matter of usage not different. Time will tell. But I'm happy I finally rooted and flashed a custom ROM.
If you need to you can always go back to stock for warranty issues, but I've never had to do that.

Sorry to ask this... but can someone just provide a simple link to a easy-to-do root method, without me having to wade through hundreds of different threads and thousands of different posts? I am very new to rooting. I've only done it once, with my old HTC EVO 4G, and that was seamless because it was a one-click root method. All of these other subsequent root methods for other phones, including the Note, seem really intricate and they seem to require tons of time I don't have to devote to reading. If an easy root method is available, with instructions, I thank anyone in advance for directing me towards it. I only really want to root for Titanium Backup and also to improve battery life. I can't get these crazy on-screen times other non-rooted (or so they claim) folks are getting, so it seems like rooting will be the only way I can dream of getting it.

I'd like the same.. simple explanation and instructions..

To root fast and easy:
Download this and extract:
http://download.chainfire.eu/280/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.zip
unplug your phone for the pc,
run odin3 v1.85. click pda and then select cf-auto-root...md5
Make sure the box "re-partition" is not checked.
Hook your phone up to your usb port on your pc. wait a few seconds for that first box to turn green then click start.
your phone will reboot on its own and then you're done.
Follow this to the letter. I basically just summarized a guide i used but could not find again to link you to it.

From the applications manager, there is a disable button next to the force stop. It is akin to TB freeze.

The only reason I haven't rooted mine yet is because I am lazy...lol...lol...lol
Should you root yours...is a matter of personal perference really.Since you already know a little about it..you know what to look for and what to expect.
Do you like it as it is...or do you want to start flashing various mods & themes and different roms ?
It's no different than your S2 really in regards to this...except these run nice as they are out of the box...
I'm not a big fan of Touch Wiz...or any other skin someone has put on it...and while the virtues of the S-pen apps that come bundled with it are nice...I know it won't be long till they or some good substitutes are offered out of it as well...I just didn't buy my Note II for the S-pen...I bought it because of what it can be...and because of the hardware it already employs...Since I enjoy mixing and matching various things to make my phone unique and the best for me......rooting mine is only a matter of time..
I see a bright future for this phone and what has been done so-far is only a scratch on the surface of it...
Root it and play around with it..or keep it stock...either way enjoy it.

Don't Root
Considering you have an Android, there is no point in rooting because you have all the cuztomization options from the Google Play store. The only reason there is to root is to have wifi hack or Ad Blocker.

What do you mean by "wifi hack"?

Rooting doesn;t seem that hard to do. What I'm worried about is how to install a custom ROM and making sure I did everything right. I feel like there's different instructions depending on the rom I see and sometimes there's no instructions at all!
I put ICS on the HP Touchpad that I got cheap but that is the extent of my knowledge on this topic. I'd really love to have Multiview because ATT can't do their jobs but I'm worried I'd screw up. Is there a detailed explanation or online video showing me how to install a rom like Jedi for example?

I'd just follow the OP's post#1 in the Development section (below)... there's a section on "Installation" for the Jedi X3.3 ROM
